I have three dogs, my "girls," who are just bundles of twenty-five-to-sixty-five pounds of energetic joy. They help me deal with the stress of everyday diabetic living. My affections are not just limited to my own dogs; I am on good terms with most of my canine neighbors, as well as the dogs that reside around the construction projects that I supervise in my job.
Here are some other reasons why I prefer dogs are over people:
- Dogs don't drive, thus they can't blow the horn behind you while you are attempting to turn against oncoming traffic.
- Dogs don't borrow tools and then fail to return them.
- Dogs don't ask to borrow money.
- Dogs don't make fun of you, make insensitive remarks, or say stupid things about your diabetes.
- Dogs are forgiving and accept you for who you are, despite your diabetes.
- Dogs would never offer you a forbidden treat because they'd gobble it up first.
But be warned; despite their innocent looks and demeanor, dogs do have a sneaky ulterior motive. They will steal your heart.

June 5, 2016. Our Tour de Cure (New Jersey — Skylands) was nearly rained out. Rain, with periods of thunderstorms, was predicted all day. At the eleventh hour (almost literally! the email was timestamped 21:25 the evening before), the tour organizer notified us that the 100-mile route was being cancelled, but that riders could choose to ride the 66-mile course (or one of the shorter courses) instead.

The Government is taking aim at 43,000 solo parents who it says should go back to work.
Prime Minister John Key and Social Development Minister Paula Bennett have this afternoon unveiled a major package of welfare reforms.
Ms Bennett said that for some beneficiaries "the dream is over".
There were 43,000 single parents on the domestic purposes benefit whose children were of a school age and who were ready to transition back to work.
"We expect those people to be at work for at least 15 hours a week," Ms Bennett said.
There were many solo parents who worked and brought up their children without state support.
Ms Bennett and Mr Key also announced some 9000 sickness beneficiaries would be asked to go back into part-time work.
"We will expect them to do what they can to support themselves. We want people to focus on what they can do and not on what they can't," Ms Bennett said.
Further changes included:
- Requirement for people on the unemployment benefit for 12 months to reapply.
- More graduated sanctions for people who don't comply with their work obligations.
- An increase in the amount that people on the DPB and Invalids Benefit can earn each week, without affecting their benefit, from $80 to $100.
- More frequent reassessment for people on the Sickness Benefit.
Ms Bennett said she was worried too many people viewed welfare not as a last option but as a way of life.
The unemployment benefit was a temporary benefit for people temporarily unable to find work.
If people had shown a "real demonstrable effort" to find work after one year, their benefit would be reinstated.
"If not, well, I'm afraid the dream is over," Ms Bennett said.
Emergency hardship payments would also be tightened up.
"We're tightening the system up so that these payments only go to those in genuine need to those whom life has simply thrown one too many curve balls."
The Government could not sustain the $250m it paid in hardship payments last year.
Mr Key said he and Ms Bennett had a "healthy amount of first-hand experience" with the welfare system which meant they had a strong commitment to it.
"While these reforms will improve the benefit system, there is still more work to be done," Mr Key said.
"The Government remains concerned about the prospects of a growing welfare roll in the decades ahead, accompanied of course by an increasing welfare bill."

This invention relates to hydraulically supported thrust bearings, and in particular it relates to hydraulically supported thrust bearings for large vertical-shaft dynamoelectric machines
Thrust bearings for large vertical-shaft machines usually comprise a downwardly facing ring that is mounted to the rotating component of the machine and a plurality of shoes or bearing segments with upwardly directed bearing surfaces. The bearing segments support the rotating ring on an oil film which is usually provided by having the segments and the ring submerged in an oil bath.
In order to align the surface of the shoes with the surface of the rotating ring, it is known to mount each shoe on a pivot located near the centre of the shoe and arranged to permit the shoe to tilt down slightly at the leading edge to form the oil film into a slight wedge-shaped configuration. This tends to improve the load carrying capability and to reduce the temperature of the components. In its basic form, however, this arrangement may be vulnerable to conditions which cause the total bearing load to be unevenly apportioned amongst the individual shoes. Some effort has been directed to alleviating this difficulty, as for example, by the provision of a system of equalizing levers. One example of the use of equalizing levers is described in U.S. Pat. No. 2,565,116 to Baudry, issued Aug. 21, 1951.
There is another problem involved in the use of a basic pivotted shoe design, and that arises because each shoe is supported near the geometrical centre of its lower surface. An ideal oil film pressure distribution on the upper or bearing surface of each shoe would extend substantially to the perimeter of the shoe, although decreasing in intensity as the perimeter is approached. The ideal pressure distribution is difficult to achieve. Because of the central position of the shoe support, and a more general oil film pressure distribution, the shoe tends to distort so that its upper surface has a generally convex upward shape. Since this is a departure from the desirable planar condition, the oil film pressure profile and the operating characteristics of the bearing are degraded. In addition to this, there tends to be a thermal gradient within the shoe. That is, the shoe tends to be hotter at the top than at the bottom. This thermal gradient will tend to reinforce the distortion towards forming a convex surface. The larger the radial or circumferential dimensions of the shoe, the greater is the tendency for the shoe surface to crown or become slightly convex.
It is also known to support each shoe on a plurality of springs distributed beneath each shoe. The springs are designed with sufficient resilience to enable each shoe to tilt slightly as if it were effectively on a pivot and so that the total bearing load is distributed on and between each shoe. Because the shoe support is not concentrated near the centre of the shoe, but provides a distributed support pattern, the shoe can be made thinner without causing an undesirable crowning of the shoe. Because the shoe can be made thinner and more flexible, the tendency to crown or distort due to thermal gradients is reduced and the ability of the shoe to adapt to shape changes in the rotating ring is improved. However, the formation of an optimum oil pressure profile may be hindered because the distribution of shoe support now tends to be too strong towards the periphery of the shoe thus causing the bearing surface of the shoe to take a concave shape.
Another known thrust bearing design uses a single hydraulic element beneath each shoe. Canadian Pat. No. 695,080--Block et al, issued Sept. 29, 1964 describes one arrangement of hydraulic thrust bearing support by way of example. The hydraulic element can be in the form of a cylinder with a piston or can be a chamber formed with flexible walls such as bellows. The hydraulic elements are connected together by a manifold to ensure that the total thrust bearing load will be evenly distributed between all the shoes. Further, the hydraulic element may be designed with a certain limited amount of angular flexibility so that it can perform the function of a pivot. This small amount of pivotting action permits the shoe surface to align itself with the plane of the rotating ring as well as permitting sufficient tilt to form a hydrodynamic oil film. However, as with mechanical pivot support referred to above, there are problems in avoiding the tendency to crown, that is in avoiding the tendency of the shoe surface to become convex with the resulting degradation of the oil film pressure profile.
In order to compensate for uneven deflection of the inclinable support member, a thrust bearing arrangement is described in Canadian Pat. No. 1,116,671--Starcevic, issued Jan. 19, 1982, which includes a plurality of mechanical support elements for each bearing shoe. A mechanical pivot supports a relatively thick support member or backing plate for each shoe. The shoe, which is thinner than the support member, is supported above the pivoted support member by a plurality of mechanical support elements which extend between the support member and the bottom of the shoe. Each support element is designed with a predetermined compressive stiffness so that deflections in the support member under load are compensated for thus purportedly providing a bearing surface which is substantially planar.
The present invention achieves a combination of advantageous features of a spring supported shoe bearing arrangement and a hydraulically supported shoe bearing arrangement with predetermined support distribution for each shoe. Each shoe is supported from a fixed base ring with a plurality of hydraulic elements extending from the base ring to the shoe, each hydraulic element having a passageway connecting it with an external hydraulic manifold. This equalizes the pressure not only between shoes but between hydraulic elements associated with individual shoes. The hydraulic elements extend upwardly from the base ring to support the shoes. For each shoe, the plurality of hydraulic elements are distributed in a desired predetermined pattern. The improved support distribution permits the use of relatively thin shoes which, because of their increased flexibility, will reduce the influence of thermal gradients both in the shoe itself and in the rotating ring. It will also reduce the influence of surface manufacturing imperfections on the oil film pressure profile. The improved support distribution provides for the larger ratios of radial length to circumferential width that are associated with prior art spring supported shoes while avoiding problems arising from distortion in the sub-support structure. The hydraulic elements may have a common working diameter or may have different working diameters.
It is an object of the invention to provide an improved hydraulically supported thrust bearing.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a thrust bearing for a large vertical shaft machine having an improved bearing shoe support arrangement.
It is yet another object of the present invention to provide a thrust bearing structure having hydraulic support for each bearing shoe, the hydraulic support being advantageously distributed over the lower shoe surface.
Accordingly there is provided a thrust bearing vertical shaft machine, comprising a rotating ring mounted to the vertical shaft of said machine for rotation with said shaft and having a downwardly directed bearing surface, a fixed base ring positioned around said shaft, a plurality of segmented bearing shoes, each having an upwardly directed bearing surface facing the bearing surface of said rotating ring, a plurality of hydraulic elements for each of said shoes, said hydraulic elements extending upwardly from said base ring to support a respective shoe, a manifold connected to a source of hydraulic fluid under pressure, connection means connecting each said hydraulic element to said manifold to provide said hydraulic fluid under pressure to each said hydraulic element for urging the bearing surface of said respective shoe towards the bearing surface of said rotating ring, and means for providing a film of oil between the bearing surfaces of said shoes and the bearing surface of said rotating ring, said hydraulic elements for each said shoe being distributed and arranged to support said respective shoe in a pressure pattern which approximates an ideal oil film pressure pattern for providing a substantially planar bearing surface of said shoe under operating load conditions.
The invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 is a sectional elevation showing a machine shaft with the bearing support according to the invention,
FIG. 2 is an enlarged view of the bearing and support structure shown in the right portion of FIG. 1,
FIG. 3A is a representation of an oil film pressure profile such as might exist during running of a vertical machine having a thrust bearing,
FIG. 3B is a plan view of a bearing shoe segment showing a transverse and radial element useful in understanding the invention,
FIG. 4A is a representation of a shoe having an idealized oil film pressure profile and a particular support profile,
FIG. 4B is a curve indicating, as an example, a shoe deflection that might be associated with the load and support profiles of FIG. 4A,
FIG. 5A is a representation of a shoe having an idealized oil film pressure profile with a differently spaced support profile,
FIG. 5B is a curve indicating, as an example, a shoe deflection that might be associated with the support profile of FIG. 5A, and
FIG. 6 is yet another representation of a shoe having an idealized oil film pressure profile with a more widely distributed support profile.
Referring to FIG. 1, there is shown a bearing mounting and support for a vertical shaft dynamoelectric machine such as a generator. A vertical shaft 10 extends downwardly to a water driven turbine (not shown). At the upper end of shaft 10 is a coupling flange 11 to which is coupled a generator rotor indicated by structure 13 but not shown in full. To the underside of flange 11, there is mounted a rotating ring 12. The rotating ring 12 is backed by the relatively massive flange 11 which serves as a thrust block. Ring 12 has a downwardly directed bearing surface. Facing the ring 12 is a plurality of bearing segments or shoes 14 each with an upwardly directed bearing surface. The shoes 14 are spaced adjacent one another around shaft 10 as is known. A plurality of hydraulic elements 15, such as pistons each in a cylinder arranged for movement of the pistons in an axial direction, or such as chambers with flexible side walls providing for axial movement of the upper chamber wall with respect to the lower chamber wall, extend from a base ring 16 to a respective shoe 14. A tubular passage 17 (FIG. 2) extends from each hydraulic element to a manifold 18 spaced from and adjacent base ring 16. The base ring 16 is supported on a heavy backing ring 20 which is mounted to a frame 21. The frame 21 is mounted to the foundation structure 22. Walls 23 and 24 extend upwardly from the backing ring 20 to form an enclosure or container for oil. When the machine is operating, the surfaces of rotating ring 12 and shoes 14, which are immersed in oil, have between them a hydrostatic oil film for lubricating and cooling the bearing surfaces.
In FIG. 2, which is an enlarged view of the bearing elements in the right portion of FIG. 1, the coupling flange 11 (or thrust block) is shown with the rotating ring 12 mounted to it. A shoe 14 is shown supporting the ring 12 with an oil film 25 indicated between them. A plurality of hydraulic elements 15 is shown extending across the shoe 14 to support it. The hydraulic elements 15 are shown as pistons 26 slidingly mounted in respective cylinders 27. A tubular passage 17 within base ring 16 interconnects the bottom of each cylinder 27 and is connected by pipe 17A with a manifold 18. The cylinders are connected in this manner to manifold 18 to ensure the pressure in each cylinder is the same.
As an alternative to using cylinders with pistons as the hydraulic elements, it is possible to use bellows type chambers which are flexible in a longitudinal direction in response to changes in volume of hydraulic fluid in the chamber.
In order to keep the shoes 14 at a predetermined level, that is within an upper and a lower limit, an arm 28 is provided extending from a shoe 14. An upper and a lower microswitch 30 and 31, shown symbolically, are operated by arm 28. The microswitches are connected to a control 32 which is connected between a source of electrical power, represented by power line 33, and a motor/pump combination 34. The pump of the motor/pump 34 is connected to a source of hydraulic fluid, represented by pipe 35, and through pipe 36 and check valve 37 to manifold 18. When the shoe 14 reaches a lower predetermined limit, arm 28 operates switch 31 which actuates control 32. Control 32 applies power to the motor of motor/pump 34 and the pump operates pumping hydraulic fluid through pipe 36, check valve 37, manifold 18, pipe 17A, passages 17, to cylinders 27, thereby raising pistons 26 and shoe 14. When shoe 14 reaches its upper predetermined limit, arm 28 engages switch 30 which actuates control 32 to switch off power to the motor of motor/pump 34. This keeps the shoe 14 with the arm 28 between the upper and lower predetermined limits, and because manifold 18 provides the same hydraulic pressure to all cylinders, all the shoes tend to remain within the upper and lower predetermined limits.
It is convenient, but not necessary, to use, as the hydraulic fluid, the same oil that is used to lubricate the bearings. If the same oil is used, then any leakage from any of the hydraulic elements will become part of the oil bath in which the bearing surfaces are immersed.
Referring now to FIGS. 3A and 3B, there is shown in FIG. 3B a plan view of a bearing segment or shoe 14A. To provide a better understanding of the invention, we can consider an elemental strip 40 extending transversely. A radially extending elemental strip 41 is also shown. FIG. 3A shows a cross-section of shoe 14A taken through the elemental strip 40. It is possible, using some assumptions, to calculate the preferred distribution of pressures within the oil film on the bearing surface of each shoe. A curve 42 represents, for the purpose of this explanation, the oil film pressure profile above shoe 14A at the elemental strip 40, that is it represents an idealized operating pressure profile on the elemental strip 40.
Referring to FIG. 4A, the same oil film pressure profile as represented by curve 42 is shown, and the same cross-section through 14A at elemental strip 40. Shown beneath the cross-section of shoe 14A is the support effort provided by the pistons 26 (FIG. 2). The support effort is shown by several blocks 43 each having a block width which is representative of piston diameter and a block height which is representative of cylinder pressure. For equilibrium, the area under the oil film pressure profile 42 must be equal to the sum of the areas of the support effort blocks 43 as shown. In FIG. 4A, there are four support blocks 43 shown and they represent four cylinders distributed in a closely spaced arrangement near the centre of the strip element. Given all the factors, including width, thickness, length and modulus of elasticity of the elemental strip, it is possible to calculate by known means the deflection response of the elemental shoe strip. FIG. 4B shows, as an example, shoe deflection (exaggerated in scale) under the assumed conditions. Because the support effort is concentrated towards the centre, the shoe tends to deflect downwardly at the edges under the assumed load as represented by curve 44. In other words, the shoe strip being considered is convex upwards or "crowned".
Referring to FIG. 5A, the same curve 42 is shown above the cross-section through the elemental strip 40 (FIG. 3B) of shoe 14A. Again the support effort is shown beneath shoe 14A and is represented by blocks 43A. In FIG. 5A the support effort, that is the supporting pistons 26 (FIG. 2), are distributed differently with the outer pistons moved towards the edges. FIG. 5B shows, as an example, the shoe deflection (exaggerated in scale), as represented by curve 44A, that might occur with the support effort distributed towards the edges of the shoe. It will be seen that the shoe surface is concave, as represented by curve 44A, because a portion of the support has been placed too close to the edges of shoe 14A.
It will be apparent from FIGS. 4 and 5 that the support elements 15 (cylinders 27 and pistons 26), FIG. 2, could be distributed or positioned to achieve a substantially planar surface on shoe 14 (FIGS. 1 and 2). Referring to FIG. 6, there is shown a curve 42A representing an idealized oil film pressure profile with blocks 43B representing the support effort provided by six hydraulic elements distributed more in accordance with the curve 42A. Calculations made for a number of transverse elemental strips 40 extending along shoe 14A (FIG. 3B) and for a number of radial strips 41 (FIG. 3B) extending across shoe 14A may serve to determine the placement or distribution of the hydraulic elements 15 (FIG. 2). In practice, it may, for the purpose of determining the positions of the hydraulic elements 15, be convenient to treat the shoe as a plate rather than as a series of elements or beams, and to perform the necessary calculations with reference to a plate. By whatever computational means, it will be apparent that a desired oil film pressure profile can be closely approximated on the underside of a shoe by a plurality of supporting hydraulic elements suitably distributed and spaced from one another but having a common oil pressure. The amount of "sag" between the supporting hydraulic elements can be controlled by the selection of an appropriate shoe thickness. In general, thinner shoes require the use of a greater number of smaller sized hydraulic support elements. Thinner shoes are desirable as they are less prone to affect the oil film pressure profile as a consequence of thermal distortions either in the rotating ring or in the shoe itself.
In the design of the supporting hydraulic elements, it will be seen that another variable is available to the designer. Instead of having the hydraulic elements, for example cylinders with pistons, all with the same diameter, the use of different diameters may be used to provide different supporting force per unit bearing area.
The present invention provides a substantially planar surface on the bearing surface of each shoe. The aforementioned Canadian Pat. No. 1,116,671 is also concerned with this. However, this aforementioned patent describes a mechanical supporting arrangement where a segment support plate or base is mounted on a centrally positioned pivot arrangement which, unless the support plate is exceedingly massive, will tend to crown or form a convex upper surface. The mechanical support elements which extend from the support plate to the shoe segment do not have any form of automatic equalization as between support elements associated with a particular shoe or as between support elements for all shoes.
It is therefore believed that the present invention provides an improved support for a thrust bearing for a vertical shaft machine. It will also be apparent that the support arrangement of the invention may be used for thrust bearings in machines where the shaft is not vertical.

Study Shows Going Veg Is Good for Weight Loss
New research proves that a meat-free meal is the ideal way to tip the scales in the right direction.
A recent study published in the Journal of the Academy of Nutrition Dietics has found that a vegan diet is a more effective way to maintain a lower weight than an omnivore diet. During the research, scientists at Loma Linda University analyzed the data from the Adventist Health Study 2, which recorded the body mass index and dietary patterns of 71,751 men and women between 2002 and 2007. The results showed that while the caloric intake was similar among all of the participants—approximately 2,000 calories per day—strict vegetarians had the lowest average body mass index, while omnivores had the highest average body mass index.

During the great California gold rush, early prospectors sifted through rocks and streams in the hopes of finding a fortune. But bigger hauls were often claimed by going below the surface and digging deeply into mines, where a treasure trove of gold lay waiting to be unearthed. The gold rush may be ancient history, but there's still potential treasure to be tapped--and crises that can be prevented too-by companies that are willing to delve deep into their dark data.

Big Lake Man Dead After Being Electrocuted
A man is dead after being found floating and unresponsive in Eagle Lake on July 4th.
According to the sheriff's report, Sherburne County Deputies were called to the 23000 block of 188th Street in Orrock Township for two people in Eagle lake floating and unresponsive. When Deputies arrived, they administered CPR to 46-year-old Daniel Peterson of Big Lake. Peterson's sister, 49-year-old Kris Biser was breathing on her own after neighbors rendered first aid.
According to witnesses, Peterson was attempting to charge his boat battery while the boat was in the water. Peterson was standing in about 20 inches of water when he lost his footing and fell in the water while holding the battery charger. Biser witnessed the fall and attempted to help her brother by running into the water. Biser was also electrocuted and was unconscious. Neighbors pulled the electrical cord from the socket and pulled the two from the water.
Biser was taken to the St. Cloud Hospital by ambulance. Peterson was taken to HCMC by air but passed away on Sunday, July 7th.

The recently-unveiled US House Farm Bill has $35-billion in cuts, versus about $24-billion in the Senate version. Congressman Collin Peterson says that the House Farm Bill eliminates controversial direct payments and redirects some of the money back into the countercyclical program and other programs. He says that keeping the countercyclical program intact was his main concern. Peterson says the Farm Bill also caps Conservation Reserve Program acres at 25-million. He says it completely overhauls the dairy program as well, going to a more market-oriented margin-insurance program.

TV viewers: Gray and getting grayer
Median age for the Big Four networks is up 0.6 years this fall
October 24, 2013
Ratings are on the decline, but there's one thing that keeps rising for the broadcast networks: Their median age.
This fall the Big Four are older than ever, with a median age of 53.9 years, according to Nielsen data analyzed by Horizon Media.
That's a jump of 0.6 years compared to this time last year, with only one network, ABC, seeing a year-to-year decline.
Fox remains the youngest network with a median age of 49.6. That's the closest it's ever been to 50, and it's up 2.4 years from last fall, the second-biggest jump for any network.
Some of the gain is due to the higher median age for this year's League Championship Series, which rose from 54.6 last year to 55 this year.
NBC is the second-youngest network with a median age of 50.6, up 2.7 from last year. That reflects in part the cancellation of "The Office," the network's youngest-skewing show last year with a median age of 38.1.
ABC is the second-oldest channel with a median age of 54 years. That is down from 55.2 last year, the only network to fall.
CBS is still, as always, the oldest network, with a median age of 58.2, up from 57.9 last year.
CBS has six of the seven oldest-skewing shows on broadcast, including "Blue Bloods," the very oldest with a median age of 62.8 years.
The only other broadcast show with a median age above 62 is ABC's "Dancing with the Stars" at a 62.1.
"Stars" is responsible for some of ABC's decline in median age. Last year the show aired for three hours each week. This year it airs for only two, reducing ABC's median age. The network's second-oldest show, "Last Man Standing," has a median age that's more than five years younger, at 57.
ABC also has three young-skewing new shows that are pulling down its median age. The new drama "Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." is its youngest show with a median age of 45.1.
New comedies "Super Fun Night" (46.9 years) and "The Goldbergs" (47.6) also skew young. By comparison, ABC's youngest-skewing new show last year, "The Neighbors," had a median age of 48.9.
This year's oldest-skewing new show on broadcast is NBC's "Ironside" at 58.9. The drama was canceled after three episodes due to low ratings.
Fox's "Brooklyn Nine-Nine," which was just picked up for a full season, is the youngest new show on broadcast with a median age of 41.4.
Fox has the 11 youngest-skewing series on broadcast this fall, including the very youngest, "American Dad," with a median age of 32.1.

Good way to meter / expose with a ND filter?
Apr 27, 2012
I'm going to be shooting some waterfalls this weekend and just got a B+W 10 stop ND filter I'll be using. What's a good way to meter / expose when using a filter? Is there a shortcut formula or do I have to dial in the settings, take a photo, then adjust the settings accordingly?

Trans-Tasman netball opposition be warned - the Waikato-Bay of Plenty Magic are four to six weeks ahead of last year in their preparations to defend their title.
And while they were one of the few teams not to take part in the pre-season summer challenge tournament in Melbourne last weekend - instead honouring commitments in New Plymouth - they look to have successfully filled their goal attack vacancy and built more depth than they have previously enjoyed.
At the same time coach Noeline Taurua is adamant they are not getting carried away with last year's breakthrough championship victory.
''We know that we've just got to keep our feet on the ground and just keep working week by week and looking to be better - we're very aware of that,'' Taurua said after the wins against the Central Pulse and Australian Institute of Sport in New Plymouth's TSB Stadium at the weekend.
''But each week we are progressing so fast as a unit that I'm excited about where my head is going at the moment.''
Taurua said while it was disappointing not be able to go to Melbourne she had got more than expected out of their three pre-season games last week, which not only resulted in high-scoring wins against the Northern Mystics, Pulse and AIS in the space of five days, but also provided all the variety they needed in terms of experiencing different opposition strategies.
While minor niggling injuries kept both Jess Waitapu and Nadia Loveday out of the New Plymouth games, the other 12 in the squad had already achieved new fitness standards set this season which players have to meet in order to get on court.
''Which is fantastic, because it means we are already starting with a squad with high fitness levels so they can run and run, which is always a very good start.
''In comparison to this time last year we are probably four to six weeks ahead of ourselves,'' Taurua said.
In terms of individuals the established players like Leana de Bruin, Casey Williams, Laura Langman, Elias Shadrock and Irene van Dyk had all stepped up and set new standards, while two newcomers in particular have caught the coach's eye.
Cantabrian Ellen Halpenny looks to have filled the vacancy left at goal attack by the departure of Julianna Naoupu and the teenage daughter of former Warriors rugby league captain Steve Price, Jamie- Lee Price, has impressed so much she seems almost certain to get game time during the championship, backing up Shadrock.
With Waitapu injured Halpenny has been getting plenty of court time and has already struck up a natural combination in the shooting circle with van Dyk, which Taurua nominated as her highlight of the pre-season play.
''I'm rapt with Ellen's progress. She's a medium to long shooter anyway, her stats at the moment are between 80 and 90 per cent and she's putting up eight-10 attempts per quarter so her work rate is very high.
''She works and trains hard and she's got a great attitude - she doesn't get pushed over by anybody. She's actually got this air of arrogance that I just love about her but has the ability to finish a long shot.''
Price, just turned 17 and still at school, brought exuberance to the team at wing defence, always came up with ball and her attacking nous and strength through the court was ''amazing''.
'She is very powerful in her body, very strong, and not only that but she has this mental toughness and stamina to just keep going.
''People her age are usually not so physically and mentally as strong as her.
''I can see her out on court this season - that's how good she is.''
Taurua is happy with the progress and attitude of her whole squad and while she said pre-season was not really about the result or the opposition but rather putting together combinations and strategies, the 83-31, 78-71 and 113-59 victories chalked up while giving everyone game time had been significant.
''In previous years we've never been able to put up those numbers. For us, irrelevant of the opposition and where we are at this time of year, those are big numbers and that tracks right through out defence end and attack end - it is very promising,'' she said.
The Magic's first competition game is against the Canterbury Tactix in Nelson on March 24.
