Okay, now that we are all excited about making a 3D graphics engine, where do we start? Well, the first thing that we need is to be able to position our objects in the virtual world. If we don't know where things are, we will not be able to draw them. We will use the Cartesian coordinate system to describe positions in space. The Cartesian coordinate system is your standard X,Y,Z system (Shown in the image to the Right). It consists of three axises (shown in green), all perpendicular to each other. To specify a point in three space, you must specify three coordinates, the X,Y and Z coordinates. The Origin (O) of the coordinate system is special, it has coordinates (0,0,0). Each of the coordinates measure a distance parrellel to their respective axis from the origin to the point. The yellow tick marks on the diagram show a general idea, these are measured axises. You can measure along each axis a specified number of units to get to where you are going. Because each of the axis is perpendicular to each other, you can specify each 3D point with one unique coordinate triple. Each point has one and only one coordinate. |
To the right is one example, the red point. As you can see, it is located at point (3,3,0). This means that is is three units along the X axis, three units along the Y axis, and zero units along the Z axis. The orange arrow shows an alternative notation that is will be useful soon. It is vector notation. Instead of thinking of the point as a point, we think of it as a position vector. In practice, both are stored as (X,Y,Z) coordinates, but using vector ideas will make future ideas easier to understand. |
Before we dive into vector manipulations, we need some notation to deal with them. Here is how we will define a vector:
This shows that each vector has three components, seperated by commas. Notice that there is a difference between vector and scalar numbers. A scalar number is just a number, such as 1 or 5 or 10.2. A vector is a three dimensional object. To describe a vector requires the three scalar values: X, Y, and Z.
The main purpose of this article is to familiarize you with vectors and manipulations applicable to them. In the next article, we will start off with this foundational knowledge and start coding. Before we can really understand what is going on though, we must know the basics. Here are the main manipulations that we will want to do to vectors:
Vectors are a very nice mathematical idea. Understanding them is key to understanding 3D graphics. A vector is really a simple thing. It consists of a head, denoted with the arrow and a tail. A vector can be moved around in three space without changing it's properties. Because of this, we only need to specify where the head of the vector is. The tail then, we can assume is at the origin.V = (x, y, z)
The dot product (which is very hard to draw :) is a very important operation in 3D graphics. The mathematical definition is shown below:
U*V = UxVx + UyVy + UzVz
U*V = |U||V|cost (t is the angle theta between the two vectors)
As you can see, the operation is denoted with the * operator. It takes two vectors as input and returns a scalar value as output. What is it used for? Well, one very important thing is that we can find the angle between two vectors with it:
(UxVx + UyVy + UzVz)/(|U||V|) = cost
cos-1((UxVx + UyVy + UzVz)/(|U||V|)) = t
Finding the angle between two vectors will be important when we need to do backface culling, and when we need to light our surfaces. In these cases, both of the vectors will be unit vectors, so the division drops out (|U||V| = 1). This makes it a very fast test.
Also with the dot product, you can find the length of a projection of one vector on another. The picture to the right shows projAB. This stands for "The projection of A onto B". A projection can be thought of as the shadow cast onto B by A. The math behind this is:
U*V |projUV| = --- |V| |
Okay, from this you can derive the entire vector. To get the vector, you simply multiply this by the unit vector in the direction of V. The projection would be this then:
V U*V U*V |projUV| = --- * --- = V ---- |V| |V| |V|2 |
Projections can be used to calculate things such as shadows, and other goods stuff. Mainly though, we will be using the dot product to find the angle between vectors.
Cross Product:
Finally, the last major piece of foundation before we can start coding. The Cross product is undeniably the hardest one of these identities to calculate, but it can also be the most useful. The cross product's operator is the "x" operation. Here is the definition:
As you can see, this is a very ugly equation. Where did it come from? Well if you are a matrices kind of person, it was calculated by taking the determinate of the matrix to the right. (With the i, j, and k seperating the individual components of the result). If you aren't a matrix kind of person, don't worry about it... we will just use the equation.
This formula is VERY useful for calculating the normal vector to two other vectors. "Normal" in this sense means perpendicular. If you plug two vectors into this equation, you get back the vector that is 90 degrees to both of the original two vectors. Something that you might find useful to know is the the length of the cross product is equal to the area of the parrellelagram formed by the two original vectors. Although we won't use this part of the identity. It could be useful for finding out the area of a polygon.
One very important use for the cross product will to find the normal vector of a plane. The normal vector to a plane is one that sticks straight out of it. We will find this by taking two vectors that run along the plane, and computing the cross product of them. This normal vector will be quite useful for things like shading the surface and determining visibility.
UxV = (UyVz - UzVy, UzVx - UxVz, UxVy - UyVx)
Today we covered a lot of theoretical stuff that will be very important when we start coding in the next article. I hope that you fully understand the importance of vectors and some fundemental operations on them. Next article, I promise, we will start coding some 3D stuff. Until then, read through this thoroughly and make sure that you understand it.

Dr. Farzad Saberi's Ratings
When I was referred to this doctor I was happy because I thought I would see someone whom could help me with my breathing issues. He started asking the usual questions which I had no problem answering. I had told him that I had numerous nose operations to try and help with my breathing and that non of them had worked. I also told him about my heart attack at the hospital after the last operation in the recovery room. He told me that it sounds like my nose was still the problem and that I should go ahead and have another operation. He was very arrogant about the way he said it. I told him I was concerned about another heart attack, he said there would be no problem. He sounded like he was god and I should heed him. I have never met such a heartless doctor in my life. He should learn bedside manners. I would not see him again if he was the last doctor in the world.

Met Dr. Saberi about a year ago, he started to diagnoses me and sent me for Xrays...he seems like a very good Doctor, but the receptionist cancelled my last appointment and told me saberi was taking a leave of absence excuse and was very rude to me about seeking futther assistance...I still haven't seen him or heard how my Xray results were, I am very frustrated with the service from the group there....so I am going back to my Family Doctor who refered me to get refered to somerone else or I just don't know what to do...

Generally, the doctor is above average for a specialist. Attentive and professional. I do agree the receptionist (there are a couple of ladies that work there), but the main receptionist is horrible. Call to "confirm" a last minute appointment, when she did not even make any appointment to begin with. I guess she assumes everybody can drop their schedules last minute to accommodate her. The answering machine system is a joke. She doesn't return calls in a timely manner. Overall, good ratings for the doctor, but the receptionist drags down Dr. Saberi's ratings.

I am a Registered Nurse and have worked with and been treated by many Respiratory Doctors. Dr. Saberi, in my opinion is one of the best. He devotes all his attention to the details of my case, he listens to me, he is incredibley knowledgeable, he visits everyday in the hospital sharing information of my tests results and discusses treatment. This is a very straight to the point, kind gentle man with a very specail warmth that any patient should feel very safe, and trusted in his care.

Dr. Saberi had first treated my mother as a patient in Burnaby General ER while an internist and then many subsequent visits to hospital thereafter. After having been treated by so many doctors over the years, he was the most patient and caring we had ever come across. He took his time to explain her condition to us and was always available for any questions we had. We treated him with the respect he deserved and he returned with a "human touch". Had our mother not been in the final phase of her life, we would have pressed for him to be her specialist of choice. Keep up the good work!

The product is a great buy and not a lot of people have these shoes. Looked awesome at the game!!! Wore them for the first time on game day and they were too big. Put tissue in the shoes for tightness and no joy. Wore them to the game and dam near cried, had to put flip flops on to keep from shedding tears. Have to waste money because I cannot return them because I wore them. The price was perfect and I will order another pair. They are way to awesome!!!!!

Hi Kjelli,
I will be experimenting with a geared 480BB Race system too. I am currently testing a system with a regular 7.2v Speed 480 motor. The gearbox comes with 3 pinions for the following ratios:
I expect the geared Speed 480 system to draw around 10amps using an 8x6.5 prop. My understanding of the Speed 480BB Race motor is that it is essentially 1.5 times the power of a Speed 480. An impressive power boost in the same footprint. When I test the 480BB Race, I will limit my current draw to 15amps. Measuring the motors current draw allows you to "play" with gear ratios and prop sizes within the motor's limits to get the best performance from your ship. Keep us posted! Welcome to the E-Zone! |

[QUOTE]Originally posted by Kjelli
[B] - Bigger prop = More efficient - Lower RPM = More efficient prop - higher pitch on prop = load on motor. </quote> True. <quote> The speed 480 BB race motor is to be used in pusher mode. To reverse the motor with traditional methods is WRONG, as the motor is timed for pull mode. A gearbox which reverses the spinning direction will make the motor go the "right" way, while the shaft from the gearbox will go the wrong way, which again is the right way if I want to use this in a pusher mode? So this pulls the efficiency of the system up. I get the motor go go the "correct" way that it is timed for. And with a same diam. prop but with much higher pitch (at a lower, More efficient RPM for the prop). This will hopefully be a little more efficient than running the motor in DD and the "wrong" way, and at RPMs around 20000. Is anyone still following me? </quote> Yeah. Your s480BB Race is currently running as a pusher DD and in the wrong direction relative to the timing. You'll need an off-set GB to get the motor running the right way while spin the prop the right way in pusher config. |

John and Haldor,
Thanks for the valuable information. Yes, I did mis-read your prop range for a size. My stock setup is an unknown Speed 480 motor using a gearbox that requires the motor direction to run in reverse. This concerns me a bit since my previous assumtion was that a canned Speed 480 was neutrally timed. The stock setup comes this way from the manufacturer so it may be ok. My setup draws 15amps on 8-cells of 800AR using a 1.7:1 gear ratio on a 8x6.5 nylon prop. The RPMs was 8200. After John's last post, it sounds like this may be a bit hot. I do have an alternative of two other gear ratios that should reduce the current; 2.0:1 and 2.3:1 This particular gearbox comes with 3 pinion gears. Your opinions are appreciated. Thanks. |

To clarify the point I hope people do not mind me repeating:
The Speed 480BB Race has ADJUSTABLE timing, and it is a simple matter of slackening two screws to adjust the timing whether forward or reverse. ALL the other Speed 480 motors (whether designated Race or not) have FIXED ADVANCED timing, but the 6304 is available in both forward and reverse (6304L) models, just like the Magnetic Mayhem - in fact, they look just like a younger brother - or sister. BTW, my 6304Ls are marked "Sagami" "Japan" Greg, I really can't say whether the BB Race is too hot or not for the geared application, but from having used a 400 6v, the BB Race, and the comparatively mild 6304 Speed 480 direct in the same model I really have a preference for the relative efficiency of the 6304 - that must have been coming through quite strongly in my posts of late The only one of the bunch that I have no experience with is the 6330 Speed 480 Race, but that is very nearly as hot as the BB Race: http://www.hobby-lobby.com/speed280.htm Best regards, John |

Thanks, John.
If it wasn't for your reiteration of things, I would be very confused indeed. I had two test flights at lunchtime today using the Speed 480, 1.7:1 gearbox and 8x6.5 prop on 8-cells of 800AR. The current draw was a hot 15amps. The power during the flight I would rate between fair and ok. This means that my Speed 480BB Race will be subtituded soon in an effort to boost power. I will re-time it for reverse direction and limit the current draw to 20-22amps. I do not see the 6304L motor at Hobby Lobby, hince my ignorance of its existance and timing for one direction. We'll see what this 480BB Race will do now. |

Sorry Greg,
I should have said that the 6304L is relatively new and available from www.hoellein.com and is also the motor in the Star Jet Competition drive set (motors, props, etc). A friend is getting some very good flights on 8x800AR with his Pico Jet (as I do with my Twin Jet on 8xRC2000). I do like this motor - though I haven't tried a Permax 450T. Perhaps Hobby Lobby might add the 6304L to their stock list? Good luck, John |

Im am going to do an experiment as soon as I have the time.
Experiment 1 : Reverse the timing on the speed 480BB race motor, and compare rpm, amps, thrust and flight time Vs "un timed" mode. (I need some help here to get the timing correct) Experiment 2: Install a gearbox to get the RPM down and use same diam. on prop. I will adjust the load with going up in pitch. And compare amps, thrust and flight time against the DD case (timed and untimed). This will show how much more efficient a system with low RPM is against a system with high rpm. In short it will show prop. efficiency. Is there some graphs on the net that shown curves with the relationship between efficiency and timing.? Or something simmilar, amps vs "degrees timing" etc. anyone know anything about this? I have read some articles about timing etc. But they are too simplified, and just tells you what to do with that particular motor. I have not seen a good explanation about timing and the effect is has on the motor. (like RPM, amps, wear ++++). I´m interested in knowing more about how to propely time all motors, since they are all the same type of motors. I reckon the graphs with efficience and timing all look the same shape in general.? Any thoughts are appriciated. Cheers Kjelli |

Thanks for the 6304L source. I got stopped "dead in my tracks" last night when trying to replace the Speed 480 motor with my 480BB Race motor. The shaft sizes are different. The Speed 480 motor has a Speed 400 shaft size and the 480BB has a Speed 600 shaft size. I'll be visiting my LHS today at lunchtime because I saw a Great Planes GD-600 gearbox there on my last visit. My Speed 480 motor was completely unmarked. I do not know which direction it is timed for. Could the manufacturor have made a design mistake? I also don't know if a 15amp draw was a reasonable value using the 1.7:1 gearbox and 8x6.5 prop. Once I obtain my new gearbox, I must choose between using a 480BB Race motor and a Permax 450 Turbo motor. The GD-600 is a 2.5:1 ratio but can be changed to 3.0:1 or 3.8:1 also. In my application, I want to stick with an 8" or 9" prop for appearance and lean towards speed. Regards all. P.S. It appears that Hobby Lobby has them in stock and the part will be listed soon. |

Oudin, Mattek-Sands Among Eight Women's Wild-Cards for U.S. Open
Aug. 15 (Bloomberg) -- Melanie Oudin received a wild-card entry for the U.S. Open, where she reached the quarterfinals three years ago.
Oudin, ranked 106th by the WTA, was among eight female wild-card recipients announced by the U.S. Tennis Association in a news release. Others were Bethanie Mattek-Sands, Nicole Gibbs, Mallory Burdette, Victoria Duval and Julia Cohen, all from the U.S.; Casey Dellacqua of Australia; and Kristina Mladenovic of France.
Wild cards are given to eight players in the men's and women's fields who wouldn't automatically qualify for the main draw. The Open, the year's final major, starts Aug. 27 at the National Tennis Center in New York.

I agree with you. I got pulled for out of date tags last year. I guess maybe I shouldn't have been so specific with my statement. Here's my correction: If you aren't breaking any traffic laws then you shouldn't have to worry about being pulled. »

Derivatives exchange NYSE Liffe and London-based clearing house LCH.Clearnet have shelved their central clearing service for credit default swaps (CDS), having processed no trades since it was launched in December last year.
The exchange officially suspended the CDS contracts offered for clearing (series 8, 9 and 10 of the Markit iTraxx Europe investment grade, Crossover and Hi-Vol CDS indexes) on July 29 following a month-long review of the service.
An official at the exchange told Risk Liffe would consider venturing into the CDS market again, but declined to elaborate.
Atlanta-based IntercontinentalExchange (Ice) and Frankfurt-based Eurex have both begun clearing CDS contracts. Ice cleared $1.67 trillion of trades in the US between March 9 and August 7, and has cleared €37.93 billion in Europe since launching a regional service on July 29.
Eurex, which launched its platform on July 30, has cleared two trades worth a combined €75 million. A clearing initiative by the Chicago Mercantile Exchange has yet to get off the ground despite receiving regulatory approval.
In an interview with Risk in January, Ade Cordell, Liffe's director of over-the-counter services, presciently said there would not be enough business to sustain four clearing ventures. "The market will decide which platform or platforms they want to use. I wouldn't be surprised if four gets whittled down to three pretty quickly, and three may well go to two."
Cordell anticipated Liffe's platform would attract volumes because it targeted buy-side firms. However, those firms are typically reliant on banks for clearing services, meaning their dealers would also need to sign up to the central counterparty. But the dealers have converged on to Ice's platform, and Eurex's to a lesser degree.

Inside Story AmericasIs the US student debt bubble about to burst? As student loan debt exceeds $1tn, we ask if it is the ball and chain that follows Americans to the grave. 05 Apr 2012 12:25 GMT | Business & Economy, US & Canada, United States The cost of higher education in the US has been referred to as the ball and chain that follows many Americans to the grave.Debt from student loans has exceeded an estimated $1tn in the US for the first time, surpassing credit card debt. "You have students that are torn between making a decision about paying rent, buying food, doing laundry, buying books or paying back their student loan debt." - Victor Sanchez, the president of the United States Student Association And more and more recent graduates are having difficulty finding jobs to help them pay off their loans. It is a burden that some economists say is threatening any economic recovery in the US. And it is not just having an impact on young people: Americans of 60 years of age and older still owe more than $30bn in student loans. Consumer advocates say that debt collectors go as far as seizing their social security cheques.The cost of college education, which is six times more expensive today than it was 30 years ago, is only expected to rise. Raeann Roca, a former student straddled with tens of thousands of dollars of debt, says: "We were always told that if you don't go to college, you're not going to make any money, you're not going to live the American dream." Her university course cost more than $30,000 a year and to pay for it she did what her college advised and took out student loans. "There are no bankruptcy protections associated with, uniquely, student loans. This has given rise to a predatory lending and collection mechanism where not only do the lenders make more money on defaults than on loans that remain in good stead through their collection activities but ... even the federal government are making more money on defaulted loans ...." - Alan Collinge, the author of The Student Loan Scam When she graduated she had $70,000 in student debt. She has already paid off $14,000 but the terms of her loans mean that five years after her graduation, she still owes just over $106,000 for her education. It has been suggested that all this debt will crimp the lifestyles of students so much once they are in the workplace that they will not be able to afford homes, cars and holidays - further damaging the limping US economy. In other words, there is a bubble of student debt that is about to burst. So what led to the rising cost of higher education and what does it mean for the struggling US economy?Joining Inside Story Americas with Shihab Rattansi to discuss this are: Alan Collinge, the founder of StudentLoanJustice.org and the author of The Student Loan Scam; Pat Garofalo, the economic policy editor for ThinkProgress.org at the Center for American Progress; and Victor Sanchez, the president of the United States Student Association. "At this point with where the US economy is ... student loan debt is going to cause us a lot of problems in getting the kind of growth that we need, getting the kind of sustained growth, because the people that we are counting on to drive that growth - to spend money, to go out and form new households, to buy products and buy cars and start their own families - are instead going to be at home not doing those things because all their money is going towards paying off their student loans."Pat Garofalo from the Center for American Progress Source: Al Jazeera

Boarding Mission Ideas
I always feel like these "ideas" get sucked into a vortex and never get read. That being said, I'd love to see missions (both PvP and PvE) in which we can board enemy vessels and fight our way to the bridge. Captain dies, game over for his side. Maybe ship loot could be available to the victor as well.
I sort of thought this is what "boarding" would entail when I read about the game including the ability. The interior of each ship class could easily be "mapped" and it would satisfy the raid desires of many PvP'ers. The interior could be an instance to enter, so I'm not sure it would be difficult to do. Would also allow us to integrate ground combat skills into ship combat in a more dynamic way. Just food for thought tossed into the abyss.

LONDON — Leading food companies in the United Kingdom have signed onto a "responsibility deal" and are working with the country's Department of Health to reduce the amount of saturated fats in food products. Companies that have signed a voluntary agreement include Mondelēz International, Nestle, and Unilever, as well as such retailers as Aldi, Subway, Sainsbury's and Tesco.
"It's hugely encouraging that companies providing almost half of the food available on the U.K. market have committed to this new responsibility deal pledge and they are leading the way to give their customers healthier products and lower fat alternatives," said Jane Ellison, public health minister for the U.K.
The Department of Health estimates that reducing the amount of saturated fats U.K. consumers eat by 15% may prevent approximately 2,600 premature deaths per year from conditions such as cardiovascular disease, heart disease and stroke.
Mondelēz International has committed to reformulate products throughout its portfolio, including such brands as Barny, belVita and Oreo; Nestle has committed to reducing the amount of saturated fats in Kit Kat brand bars; and Unilever said it will continue to invest in spreads and blends that provide healthier options. The company also said it will promote healthy eating by encouraging swaps in cooking and baking with lower saturated fat alternatives.

Right off Virginia's road to nowhere, and home to government contractors and apple growers, The undistinguished Leesburg Best Western had mediocre rooms, loud window heaters that kept me, but not my spouse up, and several six legged critters for us to share it with.
The hotel's business center (one computer) was adequate and free, its workout room adequate, and its complimentary breakfast pedestrian, but clean. The maids did a good job cleaning up.
It did have an elevator that worked.

The Einstein community remembered a remarkable faculty member – and recognized another remarkable scientist who was once his colleague – at the Dennis Shields Memorial Lecture on Monday, November 5.
Dr. Peter Walter, distinguished professor at the University of California, San Francisco, spoke on "The Unfolded Protein Response in Health and Disease."
The memorial lecture honored Dr. Dennis Shields, an internationally recognized cellular biologist who died in 2008 after serving on the faculty for 30 years. At the time of his passing, Dr. Shields was a much-loved professor of developmental and molecular biology and of anatomy and structural biology. He also had served as the first director of the Belfer Institute for Advanced Biomedical Sciences, which oversees postdoctoral life at Einstein.
Drs. Shields and Walter worked briefly together in the Rockefeller University lab of Nobel laureate Dr. Günter Blobel.
In his lecture, Dr. Walter discussed how cells detect and respond to proteins that are assembled and folded improperly in the endoplasmic reticulum. Controlling levels of misfolded proteins is critical, because excessive levels can lead to cell death and play a role in diseases such as diabetes and cancer.
Dr. Walter was introduced by another former colleague of Dr. Shields, Dr. E. Richard Stanley, who holds the Renee E. and Robert A. Belfer Chair in Developmental Biology.
The remembrance of Dr. Shields continued on Tuesday, November 13, when three Einstein postdoctoral fellows received the 2012 Dennis Shields Prizes for Outstanding Postdoctoral Research.
The $5,000 prizes, which recognize published research done at Einstein, went to Drs. José Javier Bravo-Cordero, in anatomy and structural biology; Saidi M'Homa Soudja, in microbiology & immunology; and Brian Scharf, in pathology.
The awards were presented by Dr. Allen Spiegel, the Marilyn and Stanley M. Katz Dean at Einstein; Dr. Jonathan Backer, the current director of the Belfer Institute; and Mrs. Toni Shields, the widow of Dr. Shields.
The awardees presented brief overviews of their work at a ceremony and luncheon, which also featured poster sessions by other postdocs. Five of these researchers were honored with travel awards of $500 toward attending future scientific meetings.

HandBrake 0.9.5 released, adds presets and more for easier DVD ripping
It's been over a year since the amazing free DVD ripping software (also known as a "video transcoder"), HandBrake, has been updated. Life is good, and Handbrake 0.9.5 has now been released.
There are a ton of changes in this release, and you can get into the details in the change release notes. For the Mac version of the software, the biggest news is that PowerPC is no longer supported. If you're still holding on to an older Mac, it's time to either consider a hardware upgrade or you'll be using HandBrake 0.9.4 for the rest of eternity.
Other Mac changes include VLC detection in both the /Applications and ~/Applications directories, a new Audio Panel supporting more than four audio tracks and support for multiple instances running simultaneously.
I noticed that the update wasn't accessible through the "Check for Updates" feature in version 0.9.4, so you'll probably want to go to the HandBrake website and just download the installer in order to update.
Thanks to Adam for the tip!

Rick Smith: Does he share blame?
I've praised Rick Smith for the talent that this roster appears to have. Do you think he should go if Kubiak is let go?
Here's a take I had on Casserly once upon a time (2005): http://www.texanstalk.com/forums/sho...140#post180140 This time, I'm leaning harder to the "clean the house" side. Leave no toxin in the system. What do you guys think?

Re: Rick Smith: Does he share blame?
I'm not a fan of the Texans cap management. I think the team is upside down in structure with Kubiak hiring Smith. Kubiak has too much power with Smith being his rubber stamp guy. I'd like to see the team hire a GM then let a GM pick his coach. The NFL moves fast so a mistake doesn't need to take 5 years to fix except for here it seems. It took friggin' forever to figure out if Carr was good enough....it's taking them forever to figure out Schaub isn't anything but a back up quarterback.

Re: Rick Smith: Does he share blame?
its not like we are competive and losing close games
we are getting blown out in what I call old fashion taken to the wood shed Of course he has to take some of the blame he has not been 100 on 100 on picking players and getting players to sign here at a reasonable price u know why teams get into cap problems and lose games cuz of it WE PAY THE WRONG PLAYERS !!! or bring in the wrong F/a and they don't pan out didn't KUbes and RIck come in has a package from Denver If one guyz I don't see whay not BOTH HAVE 2 go if that rumor is true that peyton was interested in coming to Houston but rick didn't want to pay him and he wanted to stick with his GUY Schaub then that's a roll of the dice he obvs lossed that's what GM and front office is Roll of the dice and decision making and RICK has made to many wrong decision esp for a big city football team like this that might fly in smaller town teams but around here I would hope our goal is to win SB and stuff like this WONT FLY |

Re: Rick Smith: Does he share blame?
How much credit do you give Smith for finding talent? How much do you think Kubiak is behind finding and coaching up the UDFAs? How well do you really think this team has drafted mid-round? If Rick Smith drafted a guy like Russell Wilson, would he be starting here? And would he even draft a guy like that without Kubiak's direction?
I think the most consolidated part of the team is Smithiak.

Re: Rick Smith: Does he share blame?
I'm not nearly as down on Rick smith as Kubiak. Yes I'm sure Kubiak has a lot of input when it comes to drafting players but smith has helped assemble a lot of talent. Maybe I'm wrong but I think the problem lies mainly with Kubiak and Schaub. Now if he were to say 'me and Kubiak are a package deal' then McNair has to tell him 'don't let the door hit you where the good lord split you'.

Re: Rick Smith: Does he share blame?
I never see or here from Smith or Kubiak at the same time, such as in the same room. I think they are the same person. I don't know if it's a white guy wearing black or a black guy wearing white, but it's the same guy. Trust me.

Re: Rick Smith: Does he share blame?
If the Texans clean house from top to bottom, that means starting all over. Who knows what kind of systems the new regime will put in. But there is lots of talent on this team, a good GM and head coach can make the Texans competitive again next year.

Re: Rick Smith: Does he share blame?
He absolutely deserves a good share of the blame. His poor cap mgmt has us under such heavy contraints every season as if we are a multiple sb chamption, not a team who hasn't advanced past the division round. His draft picks in the first round have been very good, but in the lower rounds, not so much.

Re: Rick Smith: Does he share blame?
While Smith isn't perfect, our talent level here is much better than it was prior to him coming. Before Smith we had 1 player on the team (Johnson) that could be a star or even contribute on any other team. We have talent, we just aren't getting the most out of them. I'd see how we works with a better HC first. |

Re: Rick Smith: Does he share blame?
Exactly. The talent that is here can succeed in any scheme. JJ could be even better as a 4-3 DE. Cushing can play inside or outside in a 4-3. Andre, Foster, Daniels, Graham, Brown would all be just fine in a spread offense or something a little more current.

Re: Rick Smith: Does he share blame?
Who did we draft after Casserly, and before Wade that has been considered a great acquisition? Those are the only players Smith can lay claim to, with the exception of Hopkins, who in my opinion was a no-brainer if you knew you were going WR, and the few offensive players we have acquired.
Who has Rick himself actually been responsible for? |

Re: Rick Smith: Does he share blame?
As I've said in other threads,
Whoever signed off on the Schaub extention should be fired. Rick has just been OK at picking players. If that's his job. What really is Rick's job now that I think of it? Nobody really knows. For some reason Rick seems to keep the Texans in salary cap hell every yr, if that's his job. |
10-14-2013 | #19 |
Re: Rick Smith: Does he share blame?
I'm still ticked that they got rid of Winston and Ryans with no apparent plan for succession. Ryans + Cushing was a damn sight better than anything they've put out there since, and Newton will never be as good as Winston, who wasn't even a Pro Bowl caliber RT.

Re: Rick Smith: Does he share blame?
I'm not sure that Rick SMith deserves credit for Foster. Arian is on record as saying that he went to the Texans because the Texans depth chart at running back was anemic and so he came here when an offer was made (amongst like 3 offers)
That said, maybe you can credit Rick Smith with assembling a crappy set of running backs to make Arian wanna come here |

Spoiler Alert!
Personally I'd get RE4 for as the longevity will be far greater, although MP8 could be quite fun if you have a few beers and mates round. Depends what you want really as they're very differant games.
Wii Sports, Red Steel (27%), Zelda : Twilight Princess (Forest Temple), Resident Evil 4 : Wii Edition (3-1), Trauma Center : Second Opinion (Ch2 1), Super Paper Mario (Ch 3-1), Mario Strikers Charged Football, MoH Heroes 2
If you're playing alone I would go for Resident Evil 4. Otherwise I would go with MP8. Basically MP8 is better if you tend to have friends over to play it with. Another option would be to go out and rent both games and decide which one you like better.
RE4 you will have fun with this one
If I seem nice to you that is because I am.
Or you could have fun with searching about other Mario Party 8 threads and Resident Evil 4 threads. Personally I like the sound of that. No need to combine the two, no excuse for not searching.

Tornadoes roll to first-round win
Published: Saturday, November 7, 2009 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, November 7, 2009 at 12:54 a.m.
REFORM | Pickens County High School, seeking revenge after last weeks loss to rival Gordo, unleashed its wrath on the Keith Bears in the first half of its first-round Class 2A playoff game Friday night en route to a 57-24 victory.
The score got ugly in a hurry as the Tornadoes drove down the field with ease on the opening drive, using a 25-yard run to get inside the Bears 5. Senior wide receiver Dominique Jones scored on a 3-yard run to begin the rout.
The Bears fumbled their first play from scrimmage, and the Tornadoes recovered to set up Deion Currys 1-yard touchdown toss to Jamaal Giles three plays later.
We had a great week of practice coming in to tonight, head coach Scott Marchant said. Our guys really were ready to come out here and get the bad taste out of their mouths from last week.
The night didnt get any better for the Bears as they fumbled the ensuing kickoff. Pickens County quickly pounced on the loose ball, and five plays later the score was 21-0 with five minutes remaining in the opening quarter.
The Bears offense found some success in the first half running the veer. Keith scored on an 11-play, 68-yard drive in the second quarter, when junior quarterback Jeremy Crum connected with 6-foot-2 senior wide receiver Gerald Matthews on a 23-yard touchdown grab.
Pickens County responded immediately with a 52-yard run by Dominique Jones to push the lead to 28-8. The Tornadoes shored up the defense after allowing the long touchdown drive and didnt allow the Bears to reach the end zone again until the game was well in hand.
Our team was just off last week, Jones said. We just came together tonight and played hard as a team.
Pickens County added a blocked punt, and junior Travis Bailey recovered the loose ball in the end zone for a Tornado touchdown to pad the lead to 35-8.
The Tornadoes sealed the game with nine seconds remaining in the first half when Curry found running back James Adams for a 42-yard pass to close out the half and add the exclamation point.
We felt like our offense had really slowed down and we had some specific things we wanted to work on, and I think we were successful in doing that, Marchant said. We are going to break down the film of this game and see what we can do to get better before next week.

What to expect when you're expecting (an acceptance letter)
4.16 / 5.00 4,397 Viewsso yeah
with Christmas coming up I got really hyper and recorded this.
then decided that I needed to make it a flash project
it took about 5 hours and now my hand is numb XD
desired expresses or displays your entire repertoire of expreciones with poor ocnseguiste santa claus but that is what you gave a bad image to your funny animation and ended in monotone
great work I like the movement of the child when he shows what he wants for Christmas
i might be wrong
but I just think Santa was the super junk action figure. lol! Christmas wish fulfilled!
is he taking a shit....?
....thats what I thought at first...but theres no real gag...wtf?
What Don't You Get?!
It's not complicated: the title explains it all - it's Santa thinking... really funny. :p I'll admit, not the greatest; but short & sweet.
But yeah, the looping is annoying; I'm listening to the movie over & over while I type this - please, people - stop your videos at the end.
It's short and sweet. Maybe at the end, you could add a replay button instead of a loop.
