Promoting a passion in all peoples for God's glory in all things!
What To Expect Your First Visit Sunday Morning Worship Service begins at 10:00 a.m. During the school year, Sunday School classes are offered at 9:00 a.m. Seating for worship begins at 9:45 a.m., and the service lasts approximately one and a half hours. Our dress is fitting to each individual's preference for reverence and rest to worship our God. Our nursery is staffed by adults and teenagers who have been screened and approved for youth work, and they follow strict guidelines for cleanliness. Upon arrival, greeters will meet you in the foyer where you'll be given a bulletin listing the details of that particular service as well as a listing of the week's calendar and announcements regarding all the upcoming events at the church. Ushers will be available to assist you in finding your way around. On the counters in the foyer, you will find pamphlets, booklets, and additional information about our church, our denomination, and the Good News of Jesus Christ. Of particular interest to newcomers is the "Welcome" booklet. During our worship service, three key people lead the congregation: the worship leader, the song leader, and one of our pastors. The worship leader is responsible to lead the congregation in the order of our service. The song leader helps us sing the songs of praise to God. Our music is contemporary, traditional, and original; song books are available in the rows to follow along. Our pastors teach us God's Word. Following the service, we hope you will stay for a while so we have the opportunity to meet you. Please join us for a fresh cup of coffee, which is available down the main hallway in front of the kitchen. Please join us! We look forward to meeting you. |

Danika from Hamburg, PA
12/26/2009Reviewer is A current student here.
10 out of 10 people found this review useful. 1 of 18
Categories Comments Great for these types of students Those looking for a very diverse community. Those wanting a spiritual campus to grow on. Those wanting a good arts and education program.
Tips for prospective students Ladies, dorm rooms are small! If you can find a option to live off campus, I would recommend it. Make sure to get all your classes registered as soon as you can so you can get into the ones you'd like. And make good use of the resources that are offered! Use your advisors as much as you can!
Bang for the buck Compared to many colleges, this is a very prestigious school, especially among Adventist universities. There are many class options and advisors are very helpful. As a current student, I don't feel like my money is being wasted. iVue online is a very helpful resource for registering.
Am enjoying being here Berrien Springs is a small town, and so if you do not have a car, keeping things interesting can be hard. Benton Harbor is only fifteen minuets north, and Mischawaka is about half an hour to forty five minuets south, and has a very large mall and many nice places to eat. The shore of Lake Michigan isn't far and is a nice place to relax. However, there are many inter mural sports, many ministry groups, and many clubs that have different activities. While the activities that the Student Association puts on aren't many, they are normally very well done.
Am learning a lot The opportunity to learn is definitely obvious at Andrews University. The options are numerous. Classes are challenging and, for the most part, engaging.

Categories Comments Great for these types of students Andrews is great for those who are looking for a very diverse college. It is a good school for those who have a major within communication. And it is also a good school for those that want to strengthen their relationship with God.
Tips for prospective students It is a good idea to get involved in something on campus; it can be a club, sports team, or an outreach ministry. It is good to get involved because it gives you something constructive to do when you're not studying, and it is a good way to make friends. I also recommend that new students apply for jobs on campus, especially jobs within their major. That way they are gaining some experience and networking at the same time. If you are shy, really push yourself to branch out and meet new people. If you are a really dedicated student, that's great, but make sure that you make some time for friends. No matter what your personality may be like, just be sure to keep some balance in your life. You don't want to cause yourself too much stress from taking on too much, but you don't want to fall behind in your studies either. So just try to schedule your time well, and make the best of your college years.
Bang for the buck Yes, Andrews University is quite expensive, but the education is worth it. There are many opportunities for students to start networking in their prospective careers with people who can truly help them. And when you come here it is like you are becoming a part of a big family. There are many teachers and advisers who will really take an interest in your life and try to help you to become all that you can be.
Am enjoying being here Andrews University is located in Berrien Springs, MI, which is a very small town. There is no form of public transportation here, so it is helpful to have a car. Although, there are always exciting events going on around campus, such as: sports events, open gym/volleyball night, Splash for Cash, The Labor Day Blast, and other fun school events. I enjoy being here because you get to make great friendships that will last a lifetime.
Am learning a lot Andrews University provides a wide range of classes. They have fairly small classes, which means that the teacher can give each student the proper attention. There are a lot of hands on learning opportunities, and many opportunities to study abroad. Not only do they provide a quality education for you to grow in knowledge, but they also provide a great spiritual environment for you to grow closer to God.

Categories Comments Campus Safety Campus safety is very strict and does their utmost best to provide student safety. Cameras and patrols are consistent and curfew is adhered to.
Clubs and Activities Not many clubs in Berrien Springs but South Bend will provide that, or Chicago. Activities are everywhere, so long as you look for it!
Bang for the buck Great place for education and to get your degree and to have Chicago in driving distance this place is ideal for those who wish to receive a good academic program and enjoy the city.
What to do for fun Movies, going out to eat. Going to South Bend is a great way to get away from the campus. Chicago is a 2 hour drive that is a great city.
Food and Dining Food and dining is consisted of a buffet style. Beneath the cafeteria is the Gazebo where they offer snacks and other refreshments the cafeteria does not provide.
Dorm Life Brotherhood of men or sisterhood of women, dorm life is fun, interactive and provides a chance socialize and grow.
Academic Rigor Academics is very important and key here at Andrews University. All departments have staff and professors who are willing to assist you in any way to make your academic learning a success.
Tips for prospective students Andrews is not an easy University. Study hard and focus and keep an open mind.
In three sentences Very good University; Andrews is referred to as the pinnacle of Adventist education and has very high standards. Andrews is not only a great school for those who are Adventists but for all. Programs are excellent and classes are well taught.

Categories Comments Campus Safety They have campus safety, the school is pretty small. They start checking I.D. cards when people try to enter the campus after 11.pm. (freshmen curfew)
Clubs and Activities The clubs just take your money and try to add in a hoodie sometimes while you end up paying for it anyway in the long run. The clubs don't do anything, Research any club before you join, their out for your money
Great for these types of students Quiet, conservative people.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus -This school is very diverse! people from all 50 states and countries. Since this is a Seventh-Day Adventist college, they have a lot of diverse churches for Saturday keepers. - We have mandatory worships we have to go to through out the semester & chapels every thursday -International Food Fair is really good -Passion Play is really Good
Bang for the buck Honestly, when you go to this school, your really settling, settling for less that is, there are so many better colleges/universities out there with real social activities and have a better college experience to offer. Don't do it to yourself I advise, its not fair to you. The tuition is 32,000 with dorming and it is not worth your money & they barely offer scholarships. But its every mans own experience.
What to do for fun -Find the right friends, that's the only way to make it through socially, the school is a bore & they charge money for on-school activities, (who does that?) -If you don't have a car, life as you know it will be completely unsatisfying, there is nothing in our area, so better make friends fast. Every good thing is in the state of Indiana, the state next to Michigan, not Michigan itself.
Food and Dining So they believe in the SDA health message therefore: The cafe only serves Vegan or Vegetarian Food -Nothing with caffeine is on our campus -The food is reallyy good, when they try, it gets really routined though, like reallllllyyyy. you start to loose appetite but yet your hungry. -McDonalds, taco bell, & pizza hut outside of our school, but you get tired of that too.
Dorm Life -Lamson Hall (ALL girls dorm; of every age) is bug infested, so watch out for centipedes, ants, and nats. -In order to sleep else where than the dorm, your parent has to call and approve your request with the dorm deans. -Bunk beds in every room, The rooms are really small & you and your roommate share a closet (walk-in, but very small). -The sink in the room looks like its about to break off and like its floating on the wall. -Have to pay for laundry $1.25 for washing & $1.00 for drying, machines suck btw.
Academic Rigor -The teachers are really nice, talk to them when you have the chance, they'll listen. -Advisers sometimes mess people up, so beware (they always want students to stay for 5 years!!)
Tips for prospective students -The teachers are really nice, getting to know them can really influence your grade. - Don't procrastinate with your work, it always catches up to you sooner than expected.
In three sentences -It is a very uplifting school & the worships are amazing. -Michigan is a very depressing state to live in, the sun never comes out in the winter. -The school is really small, and there's not much to do there outside of classes.

Categories Comments Great for these types of students Andrews University is determined to be a diverse community with students from all over the world. Even if you are from down the street, it is a great chance to make lasting friendships and network with future business owners and coworkers from across the globe. Those who are most likely to thrive at Andrews are the ones who get out of their rooms and make friends and get involved. No matter who you are, you will find your niche here at Andrews University.
Tips for prospective students Get involved. Andrews University offers hundreds of opportunities to show off your talents in sports teams, song leadership, organizations, art, music, intramurals, acting, public speaking, the school newspaper, yearbook, photography, and many others. The dorm rooms are relatively small but with an eye for design, you will soon call it your home. The meal plan is expensive, the food overpriced, and we all complain about it, but you always have the option of picking healthy foods or junk food and only the vending machines are accessible for midnight snacks. One positive, if you really hate the food, there is a kitchen on every floor of Lamson Hall (the women's dorm). Last but not least, bring a bunch of quarters for laundry or make a friend who lives in the community who will let you do laundry at their place, mom is not around anymore.
Bang for the buck In comparison to other schools, Andrews University offers an amazing amount of opportunities and their rates are similar to other private universities. They offer fairly substantial financial help through the school's scholarships although you have to watch out for the extra fees such as labs, textbooks, graduation costs, cafeteria meal plan, club fees, and outings; although these can be found at any school you attend.
Am enjoying being here Even though the main goal is classes and studying, we all enjoy our extracurricular activities. The campus itself contains a swimming pool, tennis courts, basketball courts, soccer field, running track, rock wall, raquetball courts, and health clubs for the physically active bunch, and a state of the art music hall featuring artists from all over the world, several art galleries, and a ceramics room for the artsy types. If you need to take a break from campus, you can enjoy the biking/hiking trails in the woods, find the Lake Michigan shoreline twelve miles away, go ice skating in St. Joe, or to the mall in Mishawaka. The city of Chicago is only a two hour drive, Detroit three hours, South Bend thirty minutes, and Grand Rapids an hour and a half, perfect for the long weekends which are scheduled once a month.
Am learning a lot Going into my sixth semester here at Andrews University, I have found that my knowledge has increased exponentially and not simply in the classroom setting. The classes are engaging, challenging, and interactive and the teachers are always willing to work time into their schedule to meet with you if you need help or just to talk. With all of the different programs, chapels, clubs, and worships, you are bound to be challenged by a new opinion and learn new facts about the world around you.

Bang for the buck It is quite costly.
Am enjoying being here I love the atmosphere. and the diversity. the weather and campus are both beautiful. The teachers are understanding.
Am learning a lot If you don't have to work, it would be ideal for your studies. having to work, and take a full load is a bit taxing.

Categories Comments Clubs and Activities there are so many activities on campus it is hard to keep up with everything that is going on! there are more than ten options for vespers, as well as ethnic clubs, departmental clubs, and clubs dedicated to causes.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus in the wintertime, it has been the tradition to take cafeteria trays and go sledding down the long and steep hill called pathfinder hill.
What to do for fun for fun, you can jump from towering concrete pileons into the st. joseph river at the nearby wolf's prairie park. on sunny days, lake michigan is a perfect place to be. just twenty minutes away, the shore of lake michigan offers a lovely beach complete with lighthouses and lakeside boutiques.
Food and Dining bon appetite is caterer for andrews university. they focus on providing healthy food that is bought from local vendors.
Dorm Life bring an extra blanket! while the heat is on during the winter, the fluctuating temperatures of michigan may leave you wanting an extra layer! dorm activities bring residents together around movies, cookies, and games.
Academic Rigor teachers at andrews university have a variety of teaching style and are firm believers in interdisciplinary work. a science class may take you to a museum, an english class may take you to the shakespeare theater in chicago, and a religion class may take you to the mountains of peru.
Tips for prospective students be prepared to be challenged intellectually. the goal of professors at andrews university is to make you think, and think hard! also, bring snow gear.
In three sentences andrews university is a faith-based university that focuses on community and diversity. andrews is a great place to explore a career in the arts and sciences and professors are well-trained from highly respected institutions. andrews is located in a beautiful corner of southwest michigan.

Categories Comments Campus Safety There is an ample amount of security.
Greek Life None- No Fraternities or Sororities are allowed/active on Andrews University campus.
Clubs and Activities Many clubs of a cultural, religious, and social nature. No Fraternities or Sororities are allowed to function on campus or as a part of Andrews University. No hazing, etc. is allowed either.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus As with many private church based colleges and Universities it is required that students attend Chapel services.
What to do for fun There are activities on campus as well as some shopping in nearby towns, the larger being S. Bend Indiana, where Notre Dame is located.
Food and Dining The cafeteria is strictly vegetarian with a nice offering of choices. There are specific hours for the cafeteria. Local dining is available, yet somewhat limited. Small town with somewhat limited options, which include Taco Bell, La Baguette ( a french sandwich shoppe), Pizza Hut, and a few other diners.
Dorm Life Unknown
Academic Rigor Though it is rigorous, the professors are accessible and helpful. Tutoring is also available through the school.
Tips for prospective students Transportation is not very easy without a vehicle.
In three sentences Seventh-Day Adventist University with a safe and friendly campus. The faculty and staff are kind and helpful. The education is of a high quality.

Dorm Life Sorry, I never tried out the dorms, but I believe they are not co-ed.
Academic Rigor Depending on the program, school can be quite rigorous.
In three sentences Andrews University is on a beautiful campus. It is a Seventh-Day Adventist University, but is open to students of different faiths and quite respectful of diversity. They offer some really good scholarships in specific fields.

Categories Comments Food and Dining The food isn't all its cracked up to be. Sometimes its obviously a day or two older than it should be.
Dorm Life Living in the ladies dorm is a wonderful experience, there's plenty of activities in the dorm to help build lasting friendships, there's an awesome work-out room, and the deans are great.
Academic Rigor Some classes are extremely hard for their class level. Some freshman classes are almost on the graduate level. Other classes are really simple and fun.
Tips for prospective students Be careful not to be persuaded to take too many credits or work too much. Focus on your class work not on the myriad of clubs on campus.
In three sentences Andrews was a great campus filled with lots of friendly people. Perfect for the person that wants a semi-spiritual living environment. Most of the professors are very friendly and do what they can to help you succeed.

Categories Comments Clubs and Activities There are plenty of clubs to join. Most clubs have event that you can participate in as a member. They also often welcome non-members to come along and experience what they are missing out on. Most clubs also often offer food at club meetings
What to do for fun There are sometimes events on the weekends. Helps to have a group of people you can tolerate because you will get bored often and friends help entertain you.
Food and Dining Food choices are limited and you quickly and you quickly become tired of the lack of variation. The Gazebo has added more variation throughout the years.
Dorm Life Most of the people that reside in the girls dorm are friendly. The deans are cool.
Academic Rigor Its hard to really judge the academic rigor because it just depends on the teacher and subject, but no matter how hard it gets there is support everywhere
In three sentences Andrews University pushes you in your academics. They have a helpful staff, who push you to reach your fullest potential. If you don't mind being isolated from any major cities or you don't mind paying for gas then you may enjoy it here.

Categories Comments Campus Safety We have our own campus safety, everything has been well kept, and I feel safe even at night while on campus
Greek Life ?.. i don't know what this means..
Clubs and Activities Sports, academics, and many cultural clubs. There is always something going on, you just have to find it
Great for these types of students There are a lot of different cultures represented here. So anyone from around the world can find something here.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus Using cafe treys to slide down the tubing hill, or going corn running
Bang for the buck It is very expensive, but its quality education, in a very nice sophisticated, safe environment. I just don't like how sometimes it seems like they are just trying to get money from you like with the chapel credits or dorming, but only of some occasions.
What to do for fun St. Joe, the beach, Chicago, south bend, going out to eat, bowling, skating, laser tagging, shopping, movies, the Chocolate Cafe is a must, AUSA events, saturday night activities, small groups, go out with friends, sand dunes, snowboarding/skiing, tubing, hiking, fishing, rec center, gym, sports events, banquets.. there is always things to do you just have to be willing to go find it
Food and Dining All you can eat cafe, and gazebo which is kind of like a on the go store/place to get quick food, many opportunities for free food you just have to know where to go
Dorm Life It's very safe in the dorm. There is curfew rules, and time depends on your academic standing and year. Unless you are older you have no curfew. There is always things to do on the weekends, open houses, etc.
Academic Rigor It's very academically driven. Your grades really do count and the environment is very academic. You have to study if you want to be successful.
Tips for prospective students Prepare for winter, bring lots of boots and coats.
In three sentences Andrews University is very diverse. People are always willing to help. Academically and spiritually focused.

Hello everyone!!!
My name is Mia McDonald, I live in Baltimore City and I am a proud new homeowner of Habitat for Humanity and aspiring to be a business woman. I am very excited for this new event of my life to introduce my apparel business on the field of sports, year of 2008 when my simple idea came out. I just came back to work as a mail room clerk after almost 8 months from recuperation from a light rail accident which I lost half of my right foot...I was so challenged to walk being limpy and with other limitations. I talked to myself that I can do better...i look back where I am good at...Yes! I am a former Nike Store Consultant for almost 10 years and a well trained top seller. There is no excuse for me not to able to use my skills. Now, I came out with my own name brand that will make a big difference from any trend of sports... I restructured the stye of branding...as we noticed in every new products we always focus on the quality ,benefit and its advantages. But we are missing something... the most important part of the game is the players Self Esteem. And we acknowledged the highest level of our self esteem is only from a surrendered life in our Creator. We can wear all the best sports quality out fit but if you dont feel good about yourself you start losing the game. it is all about the player..And our mission is Focus to Stand Out.
Thank you so much!

Bleach Cosplay
Rukia Cosplay
Buy Rukia Cosplay Costumes right here at the cosplay locator!
Rukia's only initial ability are her kido spells, which she uses for such purposes as restraining, healing, or attacking others. At the start of the series her spells are severely limited, being both weak and of a small variety, due to the bulk of her powers being given to Ichigo.
Rukia is good with a sword so make sure to pick one up. Bleach wouldn't be bleach without Rukia, so wear her cosplay proud as she is probably one of the coolest chicks in anime history.

Yes, you read that correctly. Sugar.
Now, look to the right, next to my picture there and you'll see a little dot point that says 'baker of all things sweet'. This is where my two selves collide: the me who loves to bake and eat anything I like, and the me who likes to be healthy and fit.
It seems that everywhere I look lately, there's someone talking about quitting sugar. When I first read about it, I dismissed it as a crazy, extreme diet - and anyway, why would you wish a life without chocolate upon yourself?
When we don't understand something, we make uninformed judgements on people, which is when I like to do some research and try to gain some level of empathy. So, after some reading, I've decided to give this quitting sugar thing a go. My reasons?
I don't do diets, but I do look for ways to make life better. Food is a big part of how we feel in our lives - and I've been conscious of how much sugar I eat in the past. Years ago, I cut out softdrinks and excessive sweets (although the latter might have crept back into my life) and noticed a big difference in how I felt. It's like a long preparation for making this final cut.
I've done it before, although I didn't know it at the time. It was just before we went on our first big hike, and I knew I had to watch what I ate in preparation for only having a restricted amount of food with us. I stopped eating sweets, focused on eating smaller amounts very regularly and made sure I ate food that would give me lasting energy. And I've never felt as good as I did when I was doing that.
To find a sustainable, healthy way. I don't anticipate that never eating sugar again is the end result of this. I don't imagine a life of saying 'no, I can't have that' will make me feel great. But I do want to find a way to make my sugar intake minimal, and arm myself with the knowledge of how things I eat make me feel.
I'm addicted. I sensed it before, but now that I've read about it and nodded my head through much of the literature, I know it for sure. And it isn't good to be addicted to - well, anything really. The idea of being dependent on something doesn't sit well with me. I want to control what I eat, not let my emotions guide that.
I don't need a vice. This is one big worry I've had - I don't drink caffeine, don't drink much alcohol, don't smoke. Sugar, in the form of chocolate and cakes, is my vice. But I'm now convinced I don't need one - I'll look to get through things in other ways.
It might make me healthier. I'm curious to find out if sugar has any link to the physical issues in my life (PCOS, psoriasis, eczema). Anything with even the slightest chance of helping any of those things is well worth a shot.
It makes sense. Everything I've read about cutting out sugar is logical to me.
Tonight, I even baked desserts for dinner guests and didn't eat any myself - now that's a first!

Need help matching technology to your home's decor? You aren't alone. Instead of trying to find someone to commiserate with online, Bang & Olufsen is offering a bit of professional help.
The company just launched the "Inspirational Living" campaign, a design initiative that will help consumers blend technology into everyday decor.
B&O has enlisted artists Marco Evaristti, Anja Alfieri, Hans Blomquist and Elisa Ossino to offer interior design tips on the company's website. One person can even get an in-home consultation and makeover. B&O is hosting a contest offering that as the grand prize, in addition to a new BeoVision 10-46 LCD TV. That TV alone is valued at $10,650.
The initiative actually started last week. In the U.S., Bang & Olufsen showrooms honored the occasion with extended 5-year warranties, price reductions on all BeoVision 10 models, and a Facebook deal on the BeoSound 8 iPhone/iPod/iPad docking system.
To get in on the giveaway, you'll need to visit a B&O store. The contest ends on April 30, 2012, with the company planning to announce a winner on May 1.

About Martina McBride
Martina McBride still 'Waking Up Laughing' (Updated December 26, 2012)
Martina McBride's career path, especially in recent years, has followed the same cycle as country music – traditionalism yielding to pop in fits and spurts, but always coming back to those who still firmly embrace that middle-of-the-road sound.
McBride's signature soaring vocals –those of the healthy, big-tent variety – have soldiered on through the comings and goings of the young pop-crossover princess. Her albums – 'Eleven' of them, now – have proven their continued artistic and commercial life. And Nashville's format remains fueled by a grizzled mix of veterans and superstar newcomers, with McBride still at the forefront of those writing and performing songs that connect with everyday folks.
The best example of that connection was found in the 2005 release of "Timeless," an album consisting of country standards like Hank Williams' "You Win Again," Loretta Lynn's "You Ain't Woman Enough," and Kris Kristofferson's "Help Me Make It Through the Night." It marked the highest sales start for a Martina McBride album, with the lead single, "(I Never Promised You a) Rose Garden", climbing inside the Top 20 on the country charts.
McBride's "Waking Up Laughing" and "Shine" were the last deployed by RCA records (in 2007 and 2009, respectively) before she signed with Republic Nashville. What followed was the critical and commercial hit "I'm Gonna Love You Through It," which became part of a national campaign to promote breast cancer survivors.
Currently spreading holiday cheer on her "The Joy of Christmas" tour, Martina will join forces with country stalwart George Strait in 2013. The "Cowboy Rides Away" tour will be the last for Strait, a true icon with career accomplishments that include 59 number one hits and over 65 million albums sold. The tour is set to run through 2013 and into 2014. Currently dates have been announced from January through mid-April, making stops across the United States.
A History of Martina McBride tickets
Sometimes referred to as the 'Celine Dion of country music,' Martina McBride performs with a big, strong voice that rests in alto but frequently stretches to soprano. A country singer through and through, her songs reflect a traditional style, with conventional instrumentation, like the slide guitar, from the days of country classic stars Patsy Cline and Connie Smith. McBride's songs often tell stories, and she sings with a robust, heart-felt delivery, the way country ought to be sung. Martina McBride tickets guarantee a night of pure, solid country music performed by one of the best female vocalists on the tour circuit.
Early Signs of Talent
Martina McBride was born Martina Mariea Schiff in Sharon, Kansas, in 1966. She started singing at age 8 in her father's band, called The Schiffters, but soon took on a bigger role. It was in 1990 that country icon Garth Brooks, impressed with McBride's spirit, asked her to open for him, and her career took off. Her debut album, The Time Has Come, released in 1992, was a collection of traditional country, with honky-tonk and folk influences. With the release of McBride's second album, The Way That I Am, she began a succession of country and pop hits, including 'Indepndence Day' and 'My Baby Loves Me' from that album, then several from her albums Wild Angels (1995), Evolution (1997) and Emotion. In recent years, McBride's music has crossed over into pop territory, and several cuts from her Greatest Hits album in 2001 have made it onto Billboard pop charts in addition to country charts.

Joe Dumar's picks (Detroit) and my scoring of them: 2001 Rodney White (9) - Bench then traded => -1.5 Mehmet Okur (38) - Today a Starter => 3.5 2002 Tayshaun Prince (23) - Starter (2) 2003 Darko Milicic (2) - Today a projected Starter => -1 Carlos Delfino (25) - Not signed for a year, Rotation (0.5) Andreas Glyniadakis (58) - Never in NBA (0) 2004 Rickey Paulding (54) - Never in NBA (0) 2005 Jason Maxiell (26) - Bench (0.5) Amir Johnson (56) - Bench (2.0) Alex Acker (60) - Deep Bench (0) Overall Score 6.0
The problem with the rankings is doesn't account for coaches or depth. New Jersey has had tons of injuries, so everyone they draft gets to play. Detroit, on the other hand, has had 5, then 4 starters who play extended minutes, and coaches that do not like playing rookies. Joe's problem has never been his picks (not counting RW), but his management of the players once they have been picked. I have a feeling that he's not going to repeat that mistake with Amir and Stuckey.
I am not sure if since Joe D. has been Pres of BO for the Pistons if we have ever drafted anyone with a decent offense or better and a solid defensive game that we did not give minutes to. We love our Pistons defense and as Pistons fans have taken a lot of pride in our hard working players and their defense. We have always been at or near the top in defense over the last 5 years. Then we want our young guys to play, forgetting that most young guys can't play defense worth squat. Not that they don't have the ability, but because they don't learn it in high school and/or college. Tay broke into our starting lineup relatively quickly and stayed there not because he had a few 20 point games, but because he learned how to play defense in college and brought it with him to the Pistons. Personally I have no problems with the young guys not getting minutes just to give them minutes if they can't cut it on the defensive end. That even holds for AJ. If the can't step up his defense so that his fouls committed go way down and he doesn't get faked into the pop corn machine with salt and butter all over him more than he should then I will have no problem with him not getting regular rotation minutes. That is one of the reasons I loved Tark's Runnin Rebels and I love this incarnation of the Bruins with Ben Howand as coach, because you know that these teams will bring the defense for 40 minutes or close to it game in and game out. Ben Howland - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In my experience and opinion, and the opinion of many others, winning basketball begins with defense and ends with defense. A top notch defense does wonders for improving your offense and getting you wins. Of course having said that you still these guys who play hard and great defense to put the ball in the hoop, because that is the only way you gets points. Nothing like stating the obvious.
Tay did not break into the lineup quickly. He barely played in half the games his rookie year (42) and averaged 10 minutes per game. He only got a chance to play because we were on the verge of getting humiliated in the playoffs (he ended up playing almost as many minutes in the playoffs as he did the entire season up to that point).
Bhudda, it seems to me you are trying to set up excuses in advance for our young guys not getting minutes this season. Here are some reasons why that type of excuse will not cut it. One, Mohammed. Mohammed refused to ever get over and help out on cutters to the basket. This left gaping holes in our interior defense. Yet, he played for us anyway until we picked up Webber. Hunter. Just too old. He could still play some decent defense on occasion, but he was too old, slow, and lacked height sometimes on top of that and basically presented little opposition to perimeter shots. Flip. Flip Murray opted out of playing defense at all for much of the season, until he was firmly benched and found new religion. Still, his ability to stay in front of opposing guards was minimal even when he tried his darndest. Dyess. No lateral movement. Nuff said. These guys were all in the rotation, despite some pretty serious flaws with their D. Now, a rookie, or near rookie, such as Amir, JMAX, Stuckey, Afflalo, Mejia, Samb will indeed make some mistakes as they learn. But they won't learn much without playing, and all these guys can make up for a lot of their mistakes with youth and the quicker reflexes and quicker feet that go with that. And these guys, all 6, have a lot of length, good height (except for JMAX who has tremendous wingspan for his height.) So the coach can go two ways. He can sit out the youth for any mistake they make, in a completely failing attempt to teach them anything, or he can let them play thru their mistakes, and continue to the game. I know this is not a Darko thread, yet he is a classic example of a player Detroit pulled from the rotation due to inexperience. In that NY game, the opposing center who was not all that talented, basically went right thru Darko unchallenged. Call it whatever you want. Inexperience. Maybe he froze a bit. Whatever. But this same guy was routinely blocking shots, altering shots, stopping shots from happening. This same guy was literally flying out to the perimeter to bother shots. Very active feet. Overall, a pretty darn good defensive player. Pulling him for a mistake, especially for the rest of the season, was a horrid reaction. Why do I bring Darko up? Because Amir is another big with tremendous quickness, who will undoubtedly be altering a ton of shots. We should love this, not sit him if he gets fouls at too high a rate or misses a defensive rotation here and there. I firmly believe that Flip Saunders is plotting exactly how he can justify taking young guys out of the rotation. By no means is he trying to figure out how to incorporate the youth Dumars is providing. Rather, he is in full sabotage mode. He needs no ammunition from arguments like yours.
You misread my post. He would never have stayed in the lineup as a starter for all 82 games if he couldn't play defense. He did not stay in the lineup because of his offense. In 2002-03 Tay's first year when he played in 42 games the Pistons with Curry starting gave up the fewest points in the league per game 87.7 and were rated 4th in the league in defense. That is why Tay did not get to start or play that many minutes in his first year. 2002-03 NBA Season Summary - Basketball-Reference.com In the playoffs he got his opportunity to play and scored plenty as you said. But the next year in 20003-04 he started, not because of his offense but because of his defense. If his defense had not been good enough he never would have won the starting job in 2003-04 Tay's first year as a starter, his second year in the league 2003-04 we improved from 4th in defense to 2nd. 2003-04 NBA Season Summary - Basketball-Reference.com If you play on a Joe Dumars team it is about defense first last and almost always. Because he builds his teams based on the same philosophy that was successful for him and the Pistons in the late 80s. Strong defense, strong guard play, low turnovers, good rebounding and jump shooting big men. Have a nice day.
"Tay broke into our starting lineup relatively quickly and stayed there not because he had a few 20 point games, but because he learned how to play defense in college and brought it with him to the Pistons." Which part did I misread? Maybe you meant you misstated your point. And, you are aware that the given reason he didn't play was that his defense wasn't as good as The Vocalizer (which of course was false as the playoffs proved out). We've avoided playing young guys because our coaches don't particularly like playing them (for whatever reason they conjure in their heads) and have only done so when forced into it. Dumars has now attempted to force the coach into it again.
First of all, before I pile it on, hey Bhudda, I do not mean to be picking on you. Just a lot of time to kill before the season starts so I will add the following to the discussion. Tay was one absolutely good player in his rookie year. Tay had played 4 years at Kentucky, so was not the typical rookie trying to jump to the bigs after just one or two years in college. As I break down film for a hobby, I knew just how good Tay was. I said, with a lot of laughter and derision for it from many, that Tay could match TMAC point for point in a head to head matchup. Which Tay pretty much proceeded to do, twice, in the playoffs, when you count the time when both were on the floor at the same time. Tays defense was that good, and so was his offense. The only thing holding Tay back from scoring more under Carlisle was that Carlisle had never written Tay into any of the plays. Which makes what he did in that Orlando series just that more amazing. Now, to make this post more complete, a bit of history. Carlisle did breifly put Tay in as the starter that year. We played some of the very best offenses in the league during that stretch, and wouldn't you know it, the average number of points we gave up went up during that stretch. Go figure, you play the best offenses, and the points given up goes up. Gee, how did that happen. Well, Carlisle basically blamed it on Tay and sat him back down, completely out of the rotation. Oh, and if memory serves we we won more than we lost while Tay started. But Carlisle said that the way they were winning was not "Pistons" basketball. This whole episode with Tay starting was a bad joke. Carlisle never meant to keep Tay as the starter. He was shocked at how much success Tay was having, despite being written out of the play book. He pulled him, made up his story, and wow, there are some people who actually bought the story. Coach must know best and all that. Coach did not know best. Or coach had an agenda that did not have winning as first priority. A bit more history. Curry was our starting small forward. The opposing coaches wrote their offensive plays against us to take advantage of how slow Curry was. Specifically, how bad his reaction time was. As a guy who diagrams all the plays in frame by frame for a hobby, I could see exactly what was going on. Curry was a truly horrid defender, and yet supposedly Tay was not good enough to play "Pistons" basketball. A very bad joke indeed, and its why I absolutely rejoiced when Carlisle got canned.
the 4 games prince started were late nov early dec? and we went 3-1 on a road trip we averaged like 10 points more then our average and gave up like 6 points more then our average..... so yea we gave up more points on the road to offensive minded teams, but our spread was more also. all these numbers are off the top of my head from a thread several years old, lol but yea prince did get returned to the bench and was an animal once he was realeased.... just think if we could get him some rest during the season so he could be full of energy like that in the playoffs...
I am not making excuses. Remember I am not a Flip basher nor have I basically ever criticized Joe D. Nazr was taken out of the lineup after it became clear that he played like you posted, which is lousy defense, among other things evidence his extremely high foul count. Hunter hung around as long as he did because he could still play some good defense in spurts, even though his offense had long since gone the way of the Cola, except for an occasional three point shot. The Pistons drafted for a third guard like Hot Rod because Flip can not play defense. That is also why they got rid of Smush, because other than an exciting steal or two, like Murray, Smush's defense is no where to be found. That is why Jackson eventually gave up on him, besides the fact that Smush's offense disappeared. The only reason Delfino's minutes went up some was because his defense improved to the point where he was not always getting burned when he played tight D. Dyess was our most effective rebounder per minute played last year and in fact are only really consistently decent rebounder for most of the second half of the year. He was resigned primarily because he can still rebound and even though he is slower than he used to be he still rebounds well enough, especially for a bench guy. His offense is still reasonable, but if he couldn't rebound he would never have been resigned for next year. Your young quick guys will not get minutes unless they can cut it defensively, unless Flip has no other choice, which hopefully won't be the case.
I am sorry I disagree. The reason to me is very clear why we haven't played young guys except for Tay and that is because they can't play acceptable defense. Not because of some poor coaching or arbitrary reason that Flip or Brown conjures up in their heads.
Say what? Curry could still play some good defense in Tay's rookie year. We won 60 games that year if I recall. Tay was given a chance to play in the playoff's because Cola trusted his defense enough otherwise he never would have gotten those minutes but they would have gone to someone else who Cola felt played better defense. Curry stuck around not because he was a sycophant, but because he could still play pretty good defense. Tay kept the starting job in 2003-04 because his defense was more than acceptable and his offense better than Curry's. Have a nice day
actually i would say that prince got the chance in the playoffs because there was no other option we were all but done and only after the the "i'm happy to be in the 2nd round of the playoffs" comment was made did prince get a chance to try to play defense. prince is one of a few rookies that didn't get the time they should have in my view, i understand most of our rookies sitting because the weren't ready to play piston quality defense. and in saying that... atleast at the end of the day cola was willing to try somthing to save the season, something that flip never did in the cleveland series.
It seem strange to me that some posters on this forum have short memories about all of Tay's defensive exploits. His offense has always been spotting and a lot of people have complained not aggressive enough, which I would agree with. But his defense has been more than solid since 2003-04. Here is a piece written about him during the 2003-04 Finals. USATODAY.com - Defense worthy of a Prince
Wow, Lee. I had forgotten how completely crazy you are. It's refreshing to be reminded. It gives my world some stability. Thanks!
You are correct, but that is not my point at all. My point was not about the 2002-03 playoffs. However, if Joe D. had not thought that Tay's defense would have been adequate they would have found another backup long before the playoffs!!!! It was and is about why he won and kept the starting job in 2003-04
We won 50 games that year, not 60. The same 50 we had won the year before. This was despite adding Tay, Rip, and Billups to the team. (We did have the significant loss of our backup center, Zelly (who may have ended up our starting center that year)) Tay had fantastic defense, in his rookie year on. His offense, far from being just better than Curry's, was very good-if he decided to be aggressive on offense. Finally, no, Curry could play virtually no defense in his last year with us. He was a hole in our defense, both statistically and any other way you want to measure it. Opposing coaches exploited Curry continually. They basically ran all the plays thru areas where Curry was supposedly watching. Curry could basically not move anymore. Slow footed, with very bad reflexes: if you watched the game in slow mo-he was stationary while everyone else was still moving around considerably. Some fans did not notice this too much, and believed the hype-that came from Curry as much as anywhere else-that he was still a good defender. But, I guarantee you, every coach in the league knew exactly how bad Curry was, and like I said, wrote all their plays against us to exploit Curry whenever he was on the floor.
Fair enough. Maybe he had the lingering aroma of good defense that last year. In any case it appears that we both agree about Tay playing excellent defense almost from the gitgo.

Where's World Imperialism?
Yeah, I've now learned what I'd say was a sharable amount, so, why the fuck not? Care or not, here's some knowledge.
First off, as I said a couple times before, but not always at the fore, I would like to reiterate that after consulting mormons ( like actual ones ), it turns out that, yes, Quetzalcoatl is Jesus in their doctrine. I didn't ask what this would make of the wicked trickster destroyer of a brother, Tezcatlipoca, but I'm willing to assume that makes him Satan. Which actually is a lead into my next cool thing.
Aztecs had this belief called in a thing called "Nahualli". Now, I still don't fully understand this, but from what I've read and had explained to me, the nahualli belief is basically the belief that everyone ( gods, mortals, etc ) has this spirit twin, that is usually an animal of some kind. This animal would have traits that would be stronger associated with the individual, although not exactly identical. This animal wouldn't be a figurative "Oh, your spirit animal is a bear, you have stuff in common with all them bears". No, it was a single animal, a specific bear. Or dog. Or snake. This specific animal could be a physical one, or a more powerful spirit animal. But it's... a bit more than that. This would be a being that simultaneously was and was not you. You could share thoughts, act together, or apart, one could become dominant over the other, or you could just split off entirely.
Tezcatlipoca is noted as having two Nahualli, although he's far more associated with one of these, than the other. Tepeyollotl being the more associated one, a giant powerful jaguar in the underworld, whose roars would cause earthquakes. From what I've gathered, he would likely have made his home on the path to Mictlan, in that forest place with all the creatures that eat your courage. If nothing else, it sounds like where he'd hang around. So, while not technically a death god, a very important part of Tezcatlipoca resides in the underworld. So I can see more of the Jesus / Satan parallel Mormons seem to like.
I really only know of two more sets of deities like this. Quetzalcoatl, whom I originally thought was just a brother of Xolotl ( a dog god ), isn't. Xolotl is both Quetzalcoatl's brother, and Nahualli. They're twins, different but whole. As with Tezcatlipoca and Tepeyollotl, Quetzalcoatl's Nahualli resides in the underworld, although contrary to Tepeyollotl, Xolotl is a psychopomp. His job is to make sure dead souls make it safely to their final resting place. Tepeyollotl tries to stop them.
Last one is Xochiquetzal, Goddess of Beauty, Art, and Love... and Flowers. Her Nahualli is... well, the Obsidian Butterfly, the Star Goddess who seeks to kill most if not all life, who is bathed in the blood of innocents that she rends with her claws. That was a bit... bigger shift. But it kinda lines up. Itzpapalotl ( the Obsidian Butterfly ), was not just a Goddess of War and Doom and Stars... she was also the Goddess of Childbirth. You see, the Aztecs had this thing where childbirth, while a female thing, was just as bloody, and therefore just as powerful, as war. Therefore the Goddess of it ( had to be female, a female gives birth ) had to also be a pretty fucking powerful warrior. So, the spirit twin of love and beauty, is... well, the animal part itself, is the butterfly, I suppose.
Okay, so, something I don't think I quite understood ( at least I don't recall understanding right ). Tlazolteotl, Aztec Goddess of Filth. See, originally, due to misinformation ( or rather, poorly translated information ) I thought she was like, an embodiment of sex. Dirty sex. But, really, no. She isn't. Her title is still completely apt, however. Aztecs tended to look down upon sex as a horrible thing that shouldn't happen until marriage. Tlazolteotl would go around, purposely tempting men, women, elderly, youths, into giving into lusts, and then fuck their shit up for having the balls to have sex when they weren't supposed to. Then, after being fucked over, they would have to make ample sacrifices, before she'd literally eat the sex and other gross things out of them, leaving them pure.
She mirrors Xochiquetzal for this, as both of them are fond of tempting mortals into doing lustful things when they shouldn't, and then punishing them when they do. Xochiquetzal turned a pious man into a scorpion because his morals fell around her perfect beauty. Like Tlazolteotl though, she had a thing for washing away those sins. Hers was marked by a huge party, and a ball game, where the outcome of the game would decide which team was sacrificed so everyone else was made pure. Unless I'm mistaken, it's the winning team. Because who would accept losers as a sacrifice?
Well, Huitzilopochtli would, but he's a bit indiscriminate about who is sacrificed to him so long as they came from battle and had a nice heart!
Okay, so, next thing.
Aztecs... had a lot of taboos. I'm getting some level of conflicting information across translations, but I see that eating chicken was bad, paprika was likely also bad ( although this could also be paprika with fish, or paprika during certain times of the year, it's not clear ). Pregnant women were also forbidden from eating burnt food, because it was thought that if they ate burnt food ( or more specifically, food that would stick to whatever cooked it or it was served on ), then so too would their child stick to their insides, and have to be scraped out. Lovely. Aztecs kinda viewed sex as bad, and lust and adultery doubly so. Didn't stop them from naming avocado's "testicle fruit".
And one last thing. While the Aztecs certainly liked gathering up people to kill and use the blood of, it wasn't a passionate thing. It was a very careful practice, very precise. They would make sure that only certain organs, nothing offensive to the gods, was offered. While they would declare war on themselves, to make sure they always had war slaves to sacrifice, they thought it was nightmarish and unthinkable to attack a civilian. More so to harm an artist or priest, which made them flip the fuck out at the Spanish when it turned out that they had no qualms. The Aztecs were heavily invested in spilling blood, but to them it was always for a purpose, never wasteful. They could sacrifice a child, because a good child sacrifice meant rain. But to attack a child in battle? You might as well switch sides, because your allies probably would want you in line to be sacrificed if they saw you pulling that shit.
Oh oh oh, okay, one more thing.
Tezcatlipoca loved slaves. While he was the patron of the ruling class, he had a personal distaste for anyone who would mistreat a slave, or abuse their power. A bit hypocritical, yes, but it was normally handwaved as "He's a fucking god, who are you to argue?" In short, you mistreat a slave, your ass is grass. Tezcatlipoca, being friends and enemies to all factions, liked the mortal world to be incredibly orderly ( as did all other gods basically... except the aztec rendition of Coyote... ), possibly just because of peer pressure... or more likely, because it was easier to fuck around with us if we always followed the rules.
... okay one last thing.
Tezcatlipoca isn't a name. It's a title. It's not even a title that only Tezcatlipoca has. It's a title that four gods all have, who are thought to all be closely related ( although some of their myths do not allow for this ). Tezcatlipoca is actually derived from the Nahuatl for... well, Obsidian Mirror. The priests would use Obsidian Mirrors for divination and talking with gods and stuff. So the four most important gods, were the four Tezcatlipocas. The most mysterious would be known primarily as only Tezcatlipoca, although his full title is Black Tezcatlipoca. Quetzalcoatl, Tezcatlipoca's brother, is White Tezcatlipoca. Xipe Totec, the flayed one whose blood births crops ( and was apparently the hottest male god of the pantheon until he tore his skin to shreds and bled over the world... ), is Red Tezcatlipoca. Probably because blood. The final one, is Huitzilopochtli... Blue Tezcatlipoca, God of War and the Sun. Actually, on Huitzilopochtli, while I haven't confirmed it yet, I think his Nahualli is probably a hummingbird of some kind. He's heavily associated with them....
Okay, I lied, one more thing. This ties into how they saw war, and of course, the Blue Tezcatlipoca himself, Huitzilopochtli. So it came to be that Huitzilopochtli was very busy doing wars and sun related things, that he decided to delegate his war duties to his daughter, Malinalxochitl. However, unlike him, who knew manners in war, and how to conduct himself, she was too violent, too bloodthirsty, and when he heard the prayers of his enemies and his former warriors, he put her to sleep, and took his soldiers away, leading them back home. Malinalxochitl woke up, and was so fucking pissed off, that she spontaneously gave birth out of pure rage to Copil. She then sent him to go try to kill Huitzilopochtli out of revenge. It didn't go well. Long story short, Copil's heart became the spot where Tenochtitlan was built.
And that's it for now. I swear.
Where's World Imperialism?
To gain all, we must risk all.
tl;dr - Funny fucking names.
God Aza, stop changing your sig every fucking minute.
BUT BUT I have to warn people about Squee in broken English D:
Never, you say?
Interesting read, I've always been fond of cultures, religions, and native myths and the histories that are tied with them.
