By NewToTreadmill (Columbus, OH) on Mar 21, 2009
Comments: Started Level 1 and have completed 4 weeks at 3 sessions per week; just finished 12th workout. I like the progressive treadmill control of speed and incline with a warm-up and cool-down period for each session. I also like seeing the effects on heartrate. Haven't experienced any weight loss yet but do feel better. One oddity for me: the volume of the voice instructions is almost impossible to hear well enough to distinguish what she's saying above about 2.5 mph. On my treadmill (Elite 7500), the volume is not controlled by the volume buttons but is separate from the DVD/TV speakers and volume control. Changes in volume have to be made by re-recoding the iFit card itself. Not sure why the iFit audio was given a separate and non-controllable audio system but it is. A bit annoying.

Yigal Azrouel - New York Spring 2009
(NEW YORK) Yigal kept to his strengths of washed and weathered dresses. New this season was the addition of swimwear, in the form of bandeau-top swimsuits, and jewelry. One of the strongest pieces was a crepe cascade dress that showed off Azrouël's effortless aesthetic. These are clothes that are meant to be lived in, so much so that you feel like you've already worn them before even putting them on.

He-Man will quite possibly be in the $250.00 to $300.00 category, when compared to similar licensed characters, i.e. Lion-O, Mumm-ra, etc..
I completely agree with both these sentiments. The paint applications can make or break a great sculpt, and as mentioned, the translation from a "simple" animation cel to a three-dimensional statue needs to have a spot-on paint job to make it work.
Also, He-Man's face has always been an area of contention when it comes to the third dimension. I hope that PCS can pull off the translation well. He-Man's portrait is arguably the most important part of this statue.
The Filmation characters are deceptively simple in design, yet incredibly difficult in execution.... we will all just have to keep an eye on the progression of these statues.

that bust is pretty bad ass

Just saw early picture of the next 1/4 masters statue Pending approve
looks fantastic
What is a 1/4 MOTU Statue? Is this an IconHeroes statue or is it something MOTUC related?
Here it is...
Hopefully it will turn-out as good as the sketch!
Very Filmation-esque...
Now if we could get at least ONE of the many "concepts" produce, it would be awesome...
Nice pose, can't wait to see a Skeletor statue...
When you say next, does that mean that there are previous ones? I haven't been following news all that frequently lately and I feel like I'm missing something.

My marketplace feedback
it's funny. Yeah, cool, I dont care.
Statues are beautiful, and I am so very glad they are making so much MOTU stuff. But statues are prohibatively expensive and I have no place for them in my collection. Even the 200x Stactions.
But glad they exist.
Statues are cool, but I won't spend a load of money for an unarticulated item.
Here is a tease of the approved design for a Beast Man statue.

I didn't know the bust would be life size! Wow, might have to get it now. And the Beast Man looks very promising! Excited to see more on that statue.

Please visit my store for custom MOTUC accessories and services.
The bust looks phenomenal. It will be ridiculously expensive, though.
I was content with my mini and my micro. But I can't wait to get my hands on that giant bust!
Still no She-Ra or Hordak? Okay then - guess I have more time to save!
Beastman will look so good, im diggin these statues. Also a life size bust, finally, i cant wait for this, ive wanted a life size bust for so long, i just hope there is heaps of detail in the face showing off lots of lines and teeth and so on. Scary gruesome stuff.
Evil Army of the Horde!!
After the masterpiece that was the Deluxe Skeletor Statue, the NECA bust fell extremely short of the mark.
Hopefully this PCS piece will make up for it!
These are statues in a 1:4 scale being produced by Pop Culture Shock Collectibles. They are extremely detailed and often-times include real fabric costumes and metal weapons. They are generally very expensive (depending on your spending habits...) running around the $250.00 to $400.00 range. They are not associated with MOTUC.
(Mods, I apologize if I'm not supposed to post links in here....)
So far He-Man is the only character being produced, and he has not been given a solid release date yet. Look a couple of pages back in this thread for an idea of how he is going to appear. Remember, these are HUGE statues at 1:4 scale that equals a massive 18 inches plus base!
SWEET!!!! Beast Man is looking GOOD! I love the pose they've given him. Now they just need to stick with the Filmation likeness and all will be good!

so I have never bought any thing like this. Are these something that will go on sale or do they stay at that price permanently? They also showed off an evil Lynn but that beastman looks the best so far.

The Pew Charitable Trusts is driven by the power of knowledge to solve today's most challenging problems. Pew applies a rigorous, analytical approach to improve public policy, inform the public and stimulate civic life.
Apr 20, 2011
Donald Trump has drawn a lot of attention in a slow-starting race for the GOP nomination. Roughly a quarter of all Americans (26%) name Trump as the possible Republican presidential candidate they have heard most about lately, far more than volunteer any other candidate. Among Republicans, 39% name Trump as most visible – more than all other possible GOP candidates combined.
To be sure, Trump is standing out in a contest that has yet to draw much public interest or media coverage. In fact, about half of all Americans (53%) could not name anyone when asked which GOP candidate they have been hearing the most about.
Overall, just 20% of the public say they followed possible candidates for the 2012 presidential elections very closely last week and just 4% named it as their most closely followed story. The disaster in Japan was once again the most closely followed story (at 26%), according to Pew Research's News Interest Index. The survey was conducted April 14-17 among 1,015 adults.
Read the full report, Trump Most Visible Among Possible GOP Contenders, on the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press Web site.

Nintendo 3DS eShop, Browser and DSiWare Transfers Due in Late May
by Alice O'Connor, Jan 31, 2011 5:45am PSTWhile the Nintendo 3Ds is due to launch on March 27 in North America for $249.99, several of the handheld's useful features won't be available until "late May," company president Satoru Iwata revealed in a financial results briefing last week.
The 3DS' digital store the 'eShop' will all arrive in the first system update, currently slated to launch "at almost the same time around the world" in "late May," as will the option to transfer DSiWare games from a Nintendo DSi to a 3DS, and the Internet browser.
"We hoped that we would be able to provide you with [DSiWare transfers] at the launch," Iwata explained. "However, as it will be practicable through Nintendo eShop, we can't help asking you to wait for the release of Nintendo eShop after the first system update." Nintendo also plans 3DS-to-3DS transfers, launching at a later date.
Iwata criticised the slow, awkward browser-based Wii Shop Channel and DSi Shop, calling the 3DS eShop a "drastically redesigned" and comfortable shopping experience.
He also revealed that the 3DS Internet browser will be one of the functions players can launch from inside games, along with the Friend List, Friend Notifications and Game Notes--little notes you can write while the game is still displayed on one screen.

Labor Day is a now three months behind us,
Is it safe to finally say that fall has arrived in south Florida?
Consider the evidence:
Labor Day of course marks the "unofficial" start of fall on the continent, even if by celestial standards the autumnal equinox doesn't occur until September 22nd.
Both are mute points on the peninsula:
Summer rains were still going strong through the start of October.
Eventually we got our first blast of "cool" air, but it was a short lived whimsy – the weeks that followed ramped back into a "hot and humid" malaise that wouldn't shake free.
Finally here at the end of November I'm starting shake off the summer cobwebs:
Skies grow dark early, weather has turned more reliably cool, and perhaps most tellingly the cypress needles have almost completely fallen.
And if that weren't enough:
Today marks the official end of hurricane season.
So, can we finally claim victory and proclaim fall has officially arrived?
It's sort of a mute point now that the Navels oranges and Ruby Red grapefruits are in!
Here in Florida that's our first sign of winter!

Model: | CMC: Global weather forecast model from the "Canadian Weather Service" |
Updated: | 2 times per day, from 10:00 and 23:00 GMT | |
Greenwich Mean Time: | 12:00 GMT = 12:00 GMT | |
Resolution: | 0.6° x 0.6° | |
Parameter: | Streamlines at 500 hPa | |
Description: | Streamlines are a family of curves that are instantaneously tangent to the velocity vector of the flow. These show the direction a fluid element will travel in at any point in time. | |
NWP: | Numerical weather prediction uses current weather conditions as input into mathematical models of the atmosphere to predict the weather. Although the first efforts to accomplish this were done in the 1920s, it wasn't until the advent of the computer and computer simulation that it was feasible to do in real-time. Manipulating the huge datasets and performing the complex calculations necessary to do this on a resolution fine enough to make the results useful requires the use of some of the most powerful supercomputers in the world. A number of forecast models, both global and regional in scale, are run to help create forecasts for nations worldwide. Use of model ensemble forecasts helps to define the forecast uncertainty and extend weather forecasting farther into the future than would otherwise be possible.

Rose Chase was arrested in December following a six-month investigation into the disappearance of her husband, Adam Chase.
The Ontario County Sheriff's Office claimed Rose Chase killed her husband by pushing him down a flight of stairs. She is also accused of dismembering his body, then transporting the remains to Yates County where she allegedly cremated them on her mother's property. Those remains were discovered in December.
"The charge is murder in the second degree and that's the top count in the indictment, where we're going with this. Then we have the other two charges that are included in this and we're seeking to go forward with the charges that we have," said Heather Hines, prosecutor.
The other charges include tampering with physical evidence and endangering the welfare of a child. The indictment alleges that Rose and Adam Chase's four-year-old son was in the vehicle with his mother as she transported Adam's remains and the boy was also in the vicinity as Chase's body was disposed.
Because of the seriousness of this crime, Hines requested that bail be set at a quarter million dollars. However, judge William Kocher set bail for Rose Chase at $100,000 cash."
Adam Chase was reported missing in June following an alleged argument with his wife. At the time, the Sheriff's Office treated his disappearance as a missing person case.
In December, authorities received new information and searched the Chase home along with a location in Yates County leading to Rose Chase's arrest.
"Whenever you're talking about the loss of the life of someone, that's an extremely sensitive issue that you're about, and we're looking at a case that we're looking for justice for the family of Adam Chase," Hines said. "We're looking to have a trial and have a jury hear the evidence and we're looking to make sure that justice is served in this case."
Rose Chase's attorney, Ontario County public defender Leanne Lapp, was not available for comment.
Chase remains in the Ontario County Jail and is back in court May 2nd.

Stonyfield Farm makes switch to PLA for yogurt multipacks
"What he determined is that PLA outperforms PS in terms of energy, greenhouse gas emissions, and human toxicity, which for us were the most important issues," Hirshberg explains. The 48% lower global warming potential translates to 4,000 barrels of oil that will be saved annually by Stonyfield as a result of the packaging change.
Film converter Clear Lam Packaging is credited with making PLA functional with f/f/s processes through the use of additives. Rollstock for the cups consists of 93% PLA, 4% titanium dioxide (a whitener), and 3% other additives. Because Clear Lam could not reveal the additives used in the material, Stonyfield hired consulting firm Pure Strategies to develop a list of chemicals that the company did not want used in its cups. The list includes 2,600 specific carcinogens, mutagens, reproductive toxins, endocrine disruptors, and persistent, bioacculmulative, and toxic metals.
Sustainable farming supported
One big concern for Stonyfield in pursuing bioplastics was the issue of feedstock production. "For us at Stonyfield, the way that corn is grown conventionally today is not really consistent with our philosophy," Hirshberg explains. "So in order for us to move forward with this, we needed to feel good about the way the corn was being grown."
Because NatureWorks cannot ensure that the feedstock used for the resin for Stonyfield's cups is non-Genetically Modified (GM) corn, Stonyfield has become the first major purchaser of offsets through the Working Landscapes Certificate. Under the program, Stonyfield contracts for the equivalent 500 acres of corn needed annually for its packaging to be grown to the WLC sustainable agriculture standards. The nonprofit Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy (IATP) recruits farmers and oversees the standards and certification to WLC requirements.
The program, which will result in the production of 1.7 million lb of non-GM corn annually, comes at a cost of more than $36,000 per year to Stonyfield, in addition to its material costs. Most of the funds go directly to the farmers—a fact that was key to Stonyfield's involvement, Hirshberg adds. "We see this money being used as a market lever to drive farmers to more sustainable practices," she says.
For Stonyfield, however, corn is considered a transitional step. Ultimately, the company plans to move to cellulosic fiber as a feedstock, once the technology is commercially viable—an innovation that the Department of Energy estimates will occur by 2015.
Despite the cost of purchasing offsets in addition to the investment in a bioplastic material, Hirshberg happily relates that the switch from PS to PLA will not result in a cost increase, either for Stonyfield or for its customers. "Between a number of factors, including the fact that the cost of polystyrene is so high right now and we have reduced the breakage of our packaging with PLA, we are actually going to be cost-neural," she reports.
Potential for fully closed-loop system
At present, the end-of-life scenario for the new PLA cup is no better than it was for its PS predecessor: Neither are currently widely recycled. But Stonyfield believes that PLA has a greater potential to provide a fully closed-loop system. Last spring, BioCor announced its plans to begin developing a recycling infrastructure for PLA, based on a successful chemical recycling system in Belgium through Galactic. http://www.lactic.com/index.php/news/item/4
"I have to say, as someone who has been in involved in this industry for 20 years or so, this is the first time I've really seen a technical nutrient cycling, a real, true, fully closed-loop cycle," says Hirshberg. "So we're really excited about that and about building the recycling infrastructure."
First, however, Stonyfield must develop bioplastic-based materials to replace the paper and metallized PET that are being used for the container's label and lid, respectively. After that, the company plans to work with BioCor to optimize its PLA rollstock to be compatible with BioCor's chemical recycling operations.
Composting, however, will not be recommended as an end-of-life option. Currently, the film is too thick to compost within the time frame required by ASTM standards. But even if Stonyfield lightweights the material, Hirshberg says composting is "counterintuitive," as it releases back into the atmosphere the carbon embedded in the corn and then the resin during manufacturing. "We're not saying that composting is bad in all cases," she says, "but we do think there is a better option for end of life, and that is recycling."
As for concerns that Stonyfield might encounter some of the same unanticipated consequences as Frito-Lay's PLA SunChips bag, which was recently pulled due to consumer complaints that it was too noisy, Hirshberg says, "Our customers aren't going to notice the difference. Function and cost are always going to rise to the top."

Americans' winning streak over after 4-2 loss to Slovakia.
HELSINKI The teams' records in the tournament were mirror images of each other. The U.S. had won its two games in the tournament, Slovakia had lost both its games. Today, Slovakia came out on top, beating the U.S. 4-2."I think we had enough chances yesterday, but it wasn't meant to be. Tonight, we finally got some luck and scored some goals the hard way," said Slovakia's Miroslav Satan who got the empty netter tonight. "It was three points we should have had. We throw away the first period, even though we dominated the game in many areas. Their goalie was phenomenal, and their defence played a good game. Hopefully this was a wakeup call for us, for the rest of the tournament," said Team USA forward Bobby Ryan. Andrej Sekera got the game-winning goal and Jan Laco made 18 saves in Slovakia's goal. Jimmy Howard made 28 saves for the U.S.Slovakia hadnt beat the U.S. since 2000, and the teams hadnt played against each other since the World Championship in 2007.Today, Slovakia had come to play, and they proved in the first minute when Libor Hudacek, the teams smallest player, got the puck as soon as he had stepped onto the ice, and he drove all the way to the net. Jimmy Howard made the initial stop, but lost sight of the puck and Dominik Granak pushed the puck over the goal line when just 47 seconds had been played."You can't give them turnovers at the blue line. They have too many good players who can handle the puck. You have to be patient, chip pucks, and go chase them. We didn't start doing that until later in the game," Max Pacioretty said. Slovakia took a two-goal lead at 15:04 when Branco Radivojevic took Tomas Kopeckys pass in Slovakias zone and finished his end-to-end rush with a wristshot that beat Howard high on the glove side.The U.S. struck back just 37 seconds later when Justin Faulks slapshot from the blueline found its way through Jan Lacos five-hole. Kyle Okposo and Jim Slated were credited with the assists. Slovakia played all the way to the end, and with just six seconds remaining in the period, they scored again. Howard made two great saves, but couldnt make a third one and stop Andrej Sekeras slapshot that gave Slovakia a two-goal lead."Marcel Hascak made a nice play to Mario Bliznak who shot the puck. The goalie stopped it but the puck came straight to me and I just tried to shoot it, and it went in," Sekera said. "We knew we can win games here. We played a little simpler game than before, got pucks to the net, and played a good defensive game for a full 60 minutes," he said. The Americans created several good chances, especially when Slovakia got into penalty trouble in the middle frame, and the U.S. had a two-man power play.Bobby Ryan set Cam Fowler up for a slap shot, but it missed the net. Max Pacioretty was quick to grab the puck, and he sent it to the front of the net where Paul Stastny was waiting to make it 3-2 from Lacos doorstep. Team USA battled hard in the third period, killing even Cam Atkinsons double high sticking minor, but couldn't tie the game, and Miroslav Satan sealed the final score with an empty-netter with 39 seconds remaining in the game. "I thought we played pretty well in the third period. It was just too late," said Pacioretty. "We're happy with the three points and hopefully they'll mean something by the end of the preliminary round," said Satan. RISTO PAKARINEN

James Bond's New Bentley
Filed under: Luxury Cars & Autos, Books
It may be a while before everyone's favorite spy is back on the silver screen, but fortunately for Bond fans, there's a new series of books to keep our interests piqued. But while 007 drives an Aston Martin in the latest movies, in the books (old and new) Bentley is his ride of choice.
The latest book Carte Blanche is set to launch in the UK on May 26, but its author Jeffery Deaver recently stopped by its setting in Dubai to check out the new Bentley Continental GT in white over red which Bond drives in the book. Not a subtle choice, to be sure, but neither is Dubai. See for yourself in the image gallery below.

I don't know. I think with Max being out, the youth movement in full effect, the first half of the SCAR game, and now Towles going to play that we may see a lot more fans show up to see the "Wonder boy" that is Patrick Towles. You know his family will be in the seats to watch him play.

Sony PS Vita
ESRB rating: Everyone
Review rating: 4.5 stars
Several years ago, a friend of mine kept repeating his desire for software that lets players craft their own games. "That's brilliant," I told him, "but with all the possibilities, it seems like a lofty goal." His idea must be a popular one, because Sony has unleashed their customizable platforming game, "LittleBigPlanet," on every console they make, and now it has finally landed on the PS Vita.
When the evil Puppeteer uses his Hollow Men creations to begin stealing the joy from the Imagiverse, only Sackboy can save the day! Players will traverse five different areas that each sport their own themes and planet sponsors as they journey to bring the joy back to gaming.
It's hard not to feel warm and fuzzy inside when playing "LittleBigPlanet" thanks to the cute, cuddly characters that resemble knitted toys that grandma used to make. Guiding these joyous creatures through creative levels filled with oversized objects is very enjoyable, and their surrealistic, lofty jumps combined with copious use of the handy grappling hook adds to the fun.
Playing this game on the PS Vita provides welcome new features that aren't available in any other version. For example, the front touch screen is used to slide floating platforms, guide projectiles and move gears, while the rear touch screen can be used to push objects and steer Sackboy around when he flies. In addition, the built-in camera is very useful for taking pictures to personalize the player's Pod (starting area).
Creating levels is much more intuitive thanks to touch screen controls that let players select items, move them around and paint objects. Just like a cellphone, you can pinch objects to make them smaller and vice verse. These handy features make creating levels much easier, and there are already dozens of free user-created levels to download and play even before the game's release.
"LittleBigPlanet" is a great game no matter which platform it's played on, but the PS Vita version is the best to date!

Great Ocean Road, 1988, stopped for a Gaytime.
I think this was the Miyata CroMo thing with Biopace (the white one) and my friend's bike was a Malvern Star Sportif.
No idea whose panniers they were - I definitely didn't own them.
Northern Ireland, 1991 (self-timer shot).
Traded in the Miyata on a "do everything" MTB - KHS Montana Comp, which I commuted on, toured on and raced. Please adjust your retinas!
Slick tyres, aero bars (Scott AT4) and some panniers and mudguards set me up for a month in the old country fueled by Guinness, bananas and Mars bars.
Note the awesome colour co-ordination of the lycra cover on the soft-shell helmet! The epitome of PRO.

CLEVELAND (AP) - The Ohio man who famously put aside his Big Mac to help rescue three women held captive in a Cleveland house for more than a decade has signed a contract to publish his memoirs.
Charles Ramsey has signed with Cleveland publisher David Gray & Co.
Amanda Berry, Gina DeJesus and Michelle Knight and Berry's 6-year-old daughter escaped to freedom May 6. Ramsey helped pull Berry out the door and called 911.
According to The (Cleveland) Plain Dealer (bit.ly/1dvRJZt), Ramsey's co-author will be freelance writer Randy Nyerges.
The former U.S. Senate staff speechwriter co-wrote "Day of the Dawg" with former Cleveland Browns defensive back Hanford Dixon.
The women also have books coming out.
Ariel Castro pleaded guilty and was sentenced to life in prison. He was found hanged in his cell in September.

I just saved and closed a large TIFF with a couple of layers. I thought that it was under 2Gb, but the finder says that it is 2.4Gb. Now when I try to open it, I get an error message saying that the file is not compatible with this version of Photoshop. I get a progress bar that shows it trying to open, then as it gets almost finished, the error dialogue pops up.
Do I have any recourse to recover this file, at this point? I will certainly switch the format to PSB if I can get it open, but right now that is looking doubtful.
Photoshop will save and open TIFF files up to 4 Gig, so that shouldn't be a problem.
Another application should be able to recover the composite image (since that's always present in TIFF).
But I'm not sure why the layer data would be failing unless you had a disk corruption problem -- and we haven't had other people report this problem, so it is probably a localized incident.
You could try opening it in an older version of Photoshop and see if that works.
I just tried CS5 and got the same results. I have a version of the file that is three saves back from my final version and it is 2.16Gb that I just opened. It looks like I've lost several hours of work, but I haven't lost everything. I guess it is just some ugly file corruption that didn't rear it's head until trying to open the file again. At least Time Machine saved my butt.
I still don't know what the exact problem was, but I just found a workaround for my situation. I imported the file into Lightroom and it had no issues with it. I then exported it, and the file now opens in PS just fine. I've lost my layers in the process, but that's well worth the tradeoff. Whatever the problem was, it looks like the ACR engine was not stymied by it as PS was.

Combining business and innovation is a familiar practice for Cho. "My background is unique," she says. "I trained in design and focused on business for my PhD. In my career, I delved into supply chain management, consumer behavior, design management, social enterprise, and brand development. Early on, I understood the value of merging different ideas and perspectives."
According to Cho, design thinking—methodologies derived from design industries for creatively solving problems and facilitating innovation—is fundamentally transforming the way businesses develop solutions. "Every day, companies come up with new, unconventional methods of producing products and delivering services to satisfy customer demands," says Cho. "But innovation remains a risky business. Firms often expend significant resources on new projects that fail within three to six months. So we constantly challenge students to figure out the right way to innovate, and that means developing intuition, creativity, empathy, and a sharp business mind."
When asked about the business schools that are integrating design thinking into their undergraduate and graduate programs, Cho remarks, "In the end, these schools can't offer a deep understanding of design. That is the hallmark of Parsons."

After a practice session that went over the scheduled hour-and-a-half on Thanksgiving Day, Tampa Bay head coach Raheem Morris said he is ready for the challenge of calling plays against Atlanta on Sunday. Morris assumed the role as the team's defensive coordinator on Monday, replacing the demoted Jim Bates, and is eager to call plays at the NFL level for the first time. Morris' only play-calling experience came at Kansas State University where his defense helped the Wildcats get to a bowl and led the Big 12 with 40 sacks that season.
"It's just another challenge that presents itself for me," Morris said. "Fortunately, I'm in position to call plays and I've got to do the best job I can do so the team can go out there and progress and we can all get on the same page. That's a part of it. My quarterback now is Barrett Ruud, so obviously, being on the same page as my quarterback so he can relay that information to his team and he can get it to his guys on the back end to Ronde Barber, his captain, and Sabby [Piscitelli] and the guys in front of him. That's all you have to do. Be on the same page and go out there and play the same game."
Morris' move to defensive coordinator has forced the team's former defensive backs coach to get back on the practice field in a hands-on type of way. After three practices, he is relishing the move.
"It's kind of my strength and what I really missed from being a head coach, and not being so much hands-on, but being a director, the general, the leader, the manager, " Morris said. "Now, you pick up another title. I'll be the manager, the deliverer, the general, and you get back on the field so you can be hands-on."
Morris' confidence in offensive coordinator Greg Olson, who is signed to a contract extension through at least 2010, has allowed him to take on the added assignment of calling the plays for the defense. Morris trusts Olson's ability and has given him autonomy to direct the offense without the head coach sitting in on meetings throughout the day.
"There's a great trust factor with all my coaches," Morris said. "These guys all do a great job for you and they are all going to work as hard as they can. Greg is one of those guys. He goes in the lab. He does what he has to do. We'll see each other at the end of the day and we'll always know what is going on, so we'll always be on the same page. He has a great philosophy. We have a great philosophy together. It's still a team game. We have to play together and we have to figure out what we have to do that is best for our team to try to win each game."
Morris knows that when he assumes the defensive coordinator title for his first game against Atlanta, he will lose his mythical title as "the greatest defensive coordinator in Bucs history." Morris has joked with Pewter Report since become Tampa Bay's head coach on January 17 that he holds that distinction because he didn't allow any yards or points during his brief, fleeting tenure as defensive coordinator.
Last year on Christmas, Morris was promoted by then head coach Jon Gruden to the role of defensive coordinator for the 2009 season, replacing Monte Kiffin, who was leaving to serve in that capacity at the University of Tennessee. But when Morris was promoted to replace Gruden as the head coach of the Buccaneers less than a month later, he never got the chance to call plays on defense – until now.
"I might give the title up, but right now I am the only defensive coordinator without a yard gained on him!" Morris jokingly said. "I'm still that guy until Sunday. Don't take my title yet! Call Monte [Kiffin]! Write it down! Take a picture!"
When asked if thinks the title will revert back to Kiffin after Sunday, Morris said, "We'll see. We have to get the stats right!"
For the third straight day, Bates, who was demoted from his defensive coordinator title on Monday, was not seen at practice. Morris revealed that Bates is still with the team in a consultant role.
"We're still in the same spot," Morris said. "He's been here every day. He's been here working in the lab giving me tendency information and things of that nature. He's been helping me out. We're working through it for both of us. He's helping me out and he's still involved."
When asked if Bates would be traveling with the coaching staff to Atlanta when the Bucs will face the Falcons on Sunday, Morris was non-committal.
"We're still working on that, too," Morris said. "We're seeing where he can help me at and where we can help this team get better and progress."
Morris addressed the Bucs' injury report, which was rather light on Thursday. Bucs middle linebacker Barrett Ruud, who was limited on Wednesday due to a sore rib from taking a hit from a helmet, and tight end Kellen Winslow, who was also limited on Wednesday with a sore knee, were both fully participating in practice on Thursday. Cornerback Torrie Cox (knee) was the only player limited in practice.
The Buccaneers that did not participate in Thursday's practice were free safety Tanard Jackson, who is ill, and wide receiver Antonio Bryant, who has been battling a sore knee all season. Bryant's absence from on-field work during practice was due to a coaches' decision and he is expected to play in Atlanta on Sunday.
"We have four practices this week," Morris said. "We just want to keep him at his normal pace where he was going. He's getting better and we just want to keep it like that."
Morris was asked the proverbial Thanksgiving Day question, what is he thankful for this year?
"I'm thankful for every day," Morris said. "I'm thankful for every situation I'm put in. We're all blessed. We're all living our dreams – us, the players, the coaches, the writers, the people around us. We're all living our dreams. We get a chance to do what we love and what we love to do every day."
Happy Thanksgiving from the Pewter Report staff to Bucs fans worldwide. Thank you for the support in allowing us to live our dream, which is to provide you with the best Bucs coverage possible.

I'm completely new to martial arts. I would like to know if there are techniques that can be used in self-defense if you had one hand tied behind your back or in the case you lose your hand?
Yes there are tools to work with when you can not really use your hands. The idea of loosing your hand is a bit ... As you would go through Hades.;-)) I can see use hands free techniques in sudden attack situation where you are taken aback and there is no time to rise your hands, or in a crowd where your hands are obstructed, or when you are holding someone and you get under fire.. (Just expression of being battered) So. Use your shoulders, this is a massive bone with massive muscles, if you doge with your head and get behind works well. Shoulder shrugs to deflect, get covered or even hit. Way of practising. First partner must attack slowly and be realistic you can not block Mae geri chudan with it;-) You keep your hands in your pockets and have fun. Practise in diferent distances but preferably close combat as common sense you would see attack comming from the long distance and there would be plenty time to use hands. Have fun |
In one school I trained at we would change the sparring rules up to
Sure, you can can do various things one handed---blocking and punching with the other hand for instance---but it is much, much harder. Use your legs for trips or kicks. Run away if time and circumstances permit. Yell for help. Being tied will also affect your balance, and the range of motions available to you. No fun. |
There are plenty of techniques available to you if you only have one hand available, but it really depends on which martial arts you're referring to. Locks In our Hapkido classes, we'll randomly practice our grabs in different scenarios (eyes closed, kneeling, lying down, sitting on a chair, one hand behind our back, etc). It teaches you to really understand the concepts behind our a specific technique works and how to adapt to whatever situation you might be put in. It also forces us to learn how our entire body is used to apply techniques and generate power. From a kneeling or seated position, you really have to adapt how your apply certain locks when you no longer have the full strength/power/mobility of your body -- it forces you to rely on technique rather than brute strength. Strikes/Kicks I often practice my kicks with one or both hands behind my backs, not for any practical reason, but more so just to gain a greater understanding of how my body and balance is affected in different stances or scenarios. In real life situations, you never know what you might injuries/limitations you might have to contend with, so practicing dealing with them in class can be very beneficial. Even if you don't put that one-handed technique into practice, it still helps you expand your understanding of how the technique works. |
Absolutely. Actually, one of the schools in the Bujinkan (Gikan-ryu) was reportedly heavily influenced by the inclusion of a one-armed soke. There is, of course, a strong natural disadvantage (all else being equal) to having only one arm available (for example, the opponent knows your high attacks will largely come from that side, you are not naturally balanced, etc.), but martial arts are about learning to compensate for your disadvantages. Most (un- or under-trained) people fight as if they have an arm, an arm, a leg, and a leg; not as if they have one body. To give an example, I have a couple of techniques from Gikan-ryu that exemplify a one-handed approach. NB: These are from my notes, according to my understanding at the time of learning, and may not be typical of all students in the Bujinkan. These should not be attempted without proper supervision as injury will likely occur. I've used the left hand so I can copy from my notes directly for ease, but the techniques are meant for either side and do not require both hands. Gyaku Mune DoriReversing Lapel Grab (Left hand only, exemplifies lock and throw.)
IchimonjiStraight Line (Left hand only, exemplifies lock and throw.)
Tsuri GaneHanging Bell (Left hand only, exemplifies striking and throwing.)
Breaking it downAt a very, very basic level (and since you're new, this will be the case), you fight with your arms and your legs. You likely move deliberately, each technique performed step-by-step. This is a very low-level style of training, though. As you improve, your body is one body. The exclusion of an arm is compensated for by the actions of the unified body. This is all well exemplified by the story of Senju Kannon (千手観音), the 1000-Armed Boddhisatva in esoteric Buddhism (mikkyo). As Takuan Souhou wrote in The Unfettered Mind: By this same virtue, we can see that men have the preconceived notion of not understanding the idea of having more than two arms any better than having less than two. Through training, we let go of distracting thoughts to learn to act and move naturally. Whether a man has no arms or ten, if he trains his body to move as best and as efficiently as possible, he will always be more capable than the man distracted by his own thoughts. |
