lool cool different thread MSG lmao...anyways im worried about this game cause the jazz on fire and are clicking even without deron...this could be a long sunday afternoon and chances are it will
Sorry i had it almost done and it got deleted
Jazz are undefeated. Deron Williams is out with an injury. Everyone on their team is contributing.
Tomorrow at 3pm ET....
Jazz starting lineup
Ronnie Price
Ronnie Brewer
CJ Miles
Carlos Boozer
Mehmet Okur
Bench: Paul Millsap, Andrei Kirilenko, Kyle Korver, Brevin knight, Morris Almond
Tough, athletic, physical, superior team. They're outrebounding their opponents by almost 6 a game. Their ball movement is very good, even without Derron.
Only Weakness that stands out is there 3pt shooting, its only at 27.5%

I was just about done...i was workin on the spotlight player and i deleted sumthin by accident. I hit either the redo or the undo button, and lost everything. Im pissed
Damn, MSG. It's too bad the thread didn't come out right.
This game is going to be close, but I think the Jazz will win this one. The Jazz are undefeated, and the Knicks don't play any defense. That's definitely not a winning combination for the Knicks.
Jeremon Linbury
Yea i was before but im now
How many points will duherpes score?
I'm going to the game tommorow, can't wait to watch the knicks beat an undefeated team lol
Last edited by bboycustom92; Nov 09, 2008 at 02:48.
that sucks about the game thread MSG, but im sure it was a sick thread like always. So up next we have the Jazz, and lucky for us Deron williams is out but Utah is still finding ways to stay tough and UNDEFEATED! It would make me so happy if we gave them the first loss of the season, that would mean something. We need to run and gun in this game to ensure a victory. Utah likes to play the half court game so if we can take that away they dont have a great chance to win. hopefully Nate and Duhon can continue their stellar play and run the knick offense to perfection. last game the 36 assists and only 10 turnovers(i think) was a great example of that. should be a good one to watch.....
We've played well against the Jazz in the past. I think the Jazz have lost their last 4 games at the Garden. If they're able to make it a half court game we're screwed. I think Wilson Chandler should start because we need some athleticism and good defense to try and deal with Carlos Boozer. I'm gonna be optimistic and predict a win for the Knicks, 105-101.
I'll provide the throwback joint...
Artist: Lord Tariq & Peter Gunz
Song: Deja Vu (Uptown Baby)
Deron Williams is the difference maker in this. The Knicks have a shot especially if they shoot three's like they did last game. Duhon has to have a decent game and avoid turnovers. When your "floor general" is making dumb turnovers then the team gets worse overall.
I see a big game from Nate the Great with Deron Williams out.
I see the Knicks finishing this close and winning it. I'm optimistic about this.
"The Knicks are back" - Amare
dayum that sucs MSG cause u put mad effort in your game threads and it shows...so for it to get erased like that that sucks....but im worried about they're outside shooting and Boozer we got no one capable of stopping him...Brewer is better than he gets credit for....just gotta get Nate and Chandler going early and we could have a shot at stealing this game

Find Your Passion: From Fascination to Aspiration
By Amanda Coppock
When Nikki Wheelus was a child she would gaze at the stars and wonder what was up there. The beauty of space amazed her.
As an aerospace engineering graduate student at The University of Alabama, she has turned this early fascination into her life's aspiration.
"If I had not been so fascinated by space, I would never have ended up in aerospace engineering," says Wheelus, "which means that I would probably not have ended up as a researcher."
Specializing in aerodynamics and propulsions with a focus in fluid dynamics, Wheelus says she's pleased she was able to turn to research so early in her academic career.
"At a lot of schools they will put the undergrads in the corner and not let them touch anything," she says. "Here they let you start research early. I was in the lab as a junior, learning to run all the equipment from top to bottom."
Learning about projects from top to bottom, or, perhaps, from dorsal to ventral – are now all in a day's lab work for Wheelus.
Since spotting a flier about shark skin research outside Dr. Amy Lang's office four years ago, Wheelus has worked alongside the assistant professor of aerospace engineering and mechanics. Lang believes designers of aircraft and underwater vehicles could learn some things by imitating nature's design of shark skins.
With funding from the National Science Foundation, NASA and the Lindbergh Foundation, Lang researches how sharks' flexible scales provide increased maneuverability and reduce drag for the animals and how such a design in manufactured materials could yield similar results. Lang says Wheelus' inspiration for this research is visible.
"With respect to research, like me, she is inspired by what nature, and specifically sharks, can teach us about flow control," says Lang.
Wheelus expresses appreciation for Lang's accessibility and for the extent to which she allows the young researcher to become immersed in the details.
"I'm pretty much the one in the lab," Wheelus says. "I run the experiments and bring the data back to her. She comes up with the game plan and lets me run it."
The relationship Wheelus has forged with Lang as a research partner has impacted not only the student, but also the teacher.
"She has taught me that someone with a disability can accomplish anything they set their mind to," says Lang.
Wheelus has a condition called Holt-Oram Syndrome. An inherited disorder, Holt-Oram Syndrome affects the formation of a person's arms and hands. About 75 percent of those with the disorder, which is present at birth, also have heart abnormalities, as does Wheelus.
The graduate student says she works through her struggles, whether physical or those faced by all researchers, by thinking positively and reassuring herself that she can succeed.
In April 2009, Wheelus was named a National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellow. The fellowship covers the cost of tuition and provides a $30,000-per-year living stipend for three years. This has allowed her, she says, to focus on her research without having to worry about working outside the lab.
"The NSF Fellowship was a huge turning point," says Wheelus. "It opened a lot of doors that wouldn't have been opened otherwise."
"We were very proud when she was awarded the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship," says Lang. "I have seen her grow in her understanding of the challenges and responsibilities associated with graduate school and performing research, especially as an experimentalist.
"She wants to rise above limitations, and with that achievement comes the satisfaction in knowing that the challenges that confront her can, in fact, be overcome," says Lang.
Asked why she enjoys engineering, Wheelus responds, "I guess because it's difficult—not everyone can do it, and not everyone can succeed at it."
Wheelus certainly appears on the road to success – a road that began by looking up … and wondering.

From appetizers to salads, entrées to desserts, these 20-minute recipes use fruit to demonstrate nature's sweetness.
Chicken with Dried Plums and Sage
Pounding the chicken breasts flat ensures juiciness and quick cooking so you can focus on the sweet-sour sauce. The plums and onions are sweet, but sage, the familiar herb that flavors Thanksgiving stuffing, gives the sauce a warm and hearty feel. Add brown rice, bulgur, or whole-grain couscous for a healthy fiber-rich meal.

a) Next 6 months: $100,000 (1/03-6/03)
b) Next biennium: $300,000 (7/03-6/04)
c) Next biennium: $600,000 (7/04-6/05)
d) No goals yet discussed for 7/05-2009
2) Fees discussion
a) Tuition lies outside of this construct.
b) Goal of $50,000 revenue increase in fees by 6/04 and $100,000 by 6/05
c) Do we want to find more fees (i.e. registration, counseling/health, international students, printing, S&A, materials, high cost programs)?
d) Need to identify places where we are giving away services.
e) Need to identify services that go beyond tuition levels and have broad based student use.
f) Clarification on 601's impact is needed.
g) Fees discussion needs to take into account the total cost of attendance.
3) Steve noted that a return to a mix of 25% out-of-state students would yield $500,000.
4) Housing, Food and Conference Services
a) The Housing/Food/Conference Services Work Group has recommended to Art and Ann the combining of Housing and Food Services.
b) It was decided to recharge this group to examine the question of how much money could be generated if Housing, Food, and Conference Services were combined.

d) Tacoma campus is to be included in this examination.
e) The work is to be done within the next 6 months.
4) Continuing Education
a) Don recommended the use of summer school reserves to immediately begin a process of creating Continuing Education offerings.
b) Need to hire a consultant (.5 to 1 FTE faculty position) to set-up this program that essentially would be an extension of summer school (2-4 credit programs) into a year round activity that occurs on site and off site.
c) Goal is to implement by 6/04 and generate $50,000 in revenue and $100,000 by 6/05.
5) Space Management/Room Assignment
a) Summer changes have been recommended to Ann through the Housing/Food/Conference Services Work Group, Academic Deans and Space Management.

text: The Ford Motor Company unveiled on January 2 the C-MAX Solar Energi Concept, a sun-powered vehicle with the potential to deliver what a plug-in hybrid offers without depending on the electric grid for fuel. The concept vehicle, shown recently at 2014 International CES, a major consumer electronics conference in Las Vegas, Nevada, is a collaborative project of Ford, the SunPower Corp., and Atlanta-based Georgia Institute of Technology. Instead of powering its 7.6 kilowatt-hour lithium-ion battery from an electrical outlet, the Ford C-MAX Solar Energi Concept can harness the power of the sun by using a special concentrator that acts like a magnifying glass, directing and focusing rays onto solar panels on the vehicle roof while the car is parked. The panels use high-efficiency silicon solar cells from SunPower. According to Ford, the concept vehicle takes a day's worth of sunlight to deliver the same performance as the C-MAX Energi plug-in hybrid, which draws its power from the electric grid and gets an estimated 92 miles per gallon equivalent on the highway. By using renewable power, the C-MAX Solar Energi Concept is estimated to reduce the annual greenhouse gas emissions a typical owner would produce by four metric tons. See the Ford press release.

"Battlefield acupuncture"?
THE SCENE: Iraq, Afghanistan, or anywhere where U.S. troops are risking life and limb.
THE TIME: The not-too-distant-future. Maybe even 2009.
Joe is on patrol.
It's the middle of summer in the desert town. The air hangs heavy, hot, dry and dusty, like a blast furnace firing steel. The heat penetrates Joe's 80 lb pack in much the same way the heat from boiling water penetrates the shell of an unfortunate lobster. Joe's heart races. His squad is on edge; their eyes dart furiously to and fro, looking for the deadly threat that might lurk in the shadows. Every shadow is a potential source of death, every alley a refuge from which the enemy can attack and kill him or his buddies, every rooftop a fortress from which the enemy can rain death upon the squad. The area is known to be thick with terrorists and insurgents. Joe pictured them waiting unseen from every nook and cranny for the opportunity to attack. The skin on Joe's back is all prickly. He distinctly feels as though he has a huge bullseye pointed on his back. He feels a bead of sweat dripping down his forehead and onto his eyelid, all slimy and salty. Joe desperately wants to wipe it away, but that would necessitate removing one of his hands from his weapon. The split second it would take for him to put it back might mean the difference between life and death for him or one of his buddies.
A loud roar fills Joe's ears, and suddenly he feels as though he has no weight. The scene unfolds in slow motion, just like in the movies. Dazed, Joe hears a tumult as though from a great distance, but can see nothing. Yelling and gunfire all around, he becomes conscious enough to realize that he's lying flat on his back. He feels searing pain in his legs and a hot liquid oozing around them. It occurs to Joe that it must be his own blood or even perhaps his own urine, but he's just too dazed to care.
"Medic!" Joe hears someone scream. He feels someone pull his helmet from his head and realizes that the sound of gunfire and yelling is receding. His unit must be driving away the ambushers. Good! He thinks. Give those assholes hell, guys! He opens his eyes, and realizes that his buddy's got his back, and turns to see another man, a medic, drop to his knees at his side. His uniform is stained a disturbing red. Joe feels the medic wrapping something around his thigh. It's a tourniquet, and Joe cries out in pain as he feels it constricting around his upper thigh.
"Bleeding's better!" Joe hears the medic say to his buddy. "I'll take it from here." Joe's buddy runs off to join the rest of his unit, and the medic moves his face close to Joe's. He feels himself being moved from side to side and then his legs being moved. More pain. Joe cries out.
The medic leans in to talk to Joe, "I think we've got the bleeding under control for now. I put a tourniquet on your leg. Let's get you out of here. The docs'll patch you up in no time." Joe is vaguely aware of another corpsmen with a stretcher nearby. The medic leans in again, "Are you in pain, soldier?"
"What do you think? My leg hurts like a sonofabitch! I could really use something for the pain," Joe hears himself yelling, again as if from a distance. Pain is shooting through his leg, setting every nerve on fire, and the tourniquet is biting into raw muscle through the edge of a wound that comes all the way up to his groin. The flayed edges of his skin shoot fire to his brain, and he can feel his broken bones grinding against each other every time he moves in spite of the splint.
"I've got something better that'll help," the medic screams over the din.
Better? Joe thinks. I'm in agony here. I need something! Anything!
The medic pulls a small box out of his pack. Joe sees that it's a small case. He opens it. Its contents look something like this:
Joe is puzzled. Where's the morphine? He wonders. "What are those needles?" Joe asks. "What are you doing? I've never seen syringes that look like that before!"
"Acupuncture," replies the medic. "I'll take care of you."
"What are you going to do with them?" Joe replies.
"Stick them into your earlobe. It'll take the pain away really fast."
"Are you shittin' me?" Joe screeches, trying to get up to grab the medic by the front of his uniform. "My leg's a bloody mess, I'm in agony, and you're tellin' me you're gonna stick little needles in my ear and make it all better? Like that's going to do anything! I need real pain medicine! Give me morphine! NOW!"

2 in Vermont accused of collecting dead man's SS checksApril 23,2013
The Associated Press
BURLINGTON — Two Vermont men have been charged in separate cases with illegally collecting thousands of dollars in Social Security benefits by covering up deaths.
Michael Rivard, 69, plans to plead guilty to fraud, according to the Burlington Free Press. He's accused of taking about $112,500 from 2005 to 2012.
Fifty-four-year-old Robert Driver pleaded guilty March 27 to stealing more than $151,000 from 1999 to 2012.
Driver had power of attorney for the bank account for Margaret Flint, who died in 1998. Benefits continued to be wired into her account.
Driver lives with Flint's grandson, Dalton Flint II. Records showed regular withdrawals from her account in the form of checks made out to and endorsed by Driver for about the same amount as the deposits.

The long term goal of expansion: 24 teams in 4 conferences
Posted 06 August 2010 - 10:18 AM
Posted 06 August 2010 - 11:08 AM
However there should be a separate heartland Top-14 with P&R
IMO the French teams need to generate their own cash from satelite services, which would free up all sky money for UK teams. I would expect this to happend once they can get at least 4 fully pro regional clubs playing SL clubs in crossed fixtures.
I also think sky are more likely to up the cash if we have a product like this rather than the usual numptyish "we can only just about manage 14 teams" (usualy spoken by a fan of a top 6 club who is fricken'd dear'th of their poor little Stupid League club having to share more money)
Posted 06 August 2010 - 11:19 AM
FWIW, I think it would be very interesting if RL went down the regionalised conferences at some point in the future as it's not something I'd even considered, and although it wouldn't necessarily be what I'd like to see, it would give the end of season play-offs an interesting twist.
I'd be happy in the medium term if we can get to two franchised divisions of 10, SL1 and SL2 say, with Sky money spread between the two (maybe 70/30 or similar) and a closer cap between the two based on this. We could then have open P/R between the divisions, knowing that a.) the clubs are all of an acceptable standard and b.) there isn't a gaping financial chasm to overcome for the promoted/relegated team.
It's not too much of a stretch to imagine that over the next 10/12 years franchising will create 6 more teams with the infrastructure required to gain a SL license. On top of the current 14 SL incumbents, Widnes, Barrow, Halifax, Fev and Leigh are all fairly close to the mark.
At least when viewed this way, franchising has a definite advantage over straight P/R as it gives clubs targets to aim for and forces standards up.
Posted 06 August 2010 - 11:25 AM
Completely impossible, of course, because there just isn't the level of interest in RL to sustain this, but if we could sustain a structure like this I think it would be great.
I wouldn't hold out hope for a club in Lyon any time soon though, PS, but of course, I'm sure you know all about that anyway.

The structure proposed would be truly national and international, thereby making the task of finding wealthy corporate and government sponsors much easier.
Rugby league clubs play each other in conference structures. Each club plays their own conference members twice (10 games) and each member of the other conferences once (18 games). That makes a 28 week competition.
An eight club finals playoffs (top 2 from each conference) leading to a Wembley grand final will conclude the season.
With a six team Continental conference there should be a European TV contract that will sustain that conference.
This structure will take 15- 18 years to realise. In the interim Super League Europe should be increased incrementally.
Here is the ultimate form of the Super League Europe competition, which the RLF anfd RLEF need to start planning for now:
1. North-Northwest Conference
St Helens
Widnes or Cumbria
2. Yorkshire Conference
Hull FC
Hull KR or Calder
3. Southern-Celtic Conference
South Wales
East London
North London or Bristol
4. Continental Conference
Les Catalans
I'm not a regular poster but I do, sometimes, enjoy reading your posts Paris (when you're not ogiling over the NRL). I dont know if you're in Australia or the UK but personally I'm a Welsh-born Australian citizen who's heading home next year and will be getting involved with a local team in some capacity, and I believe that your dreams could well become true in the long term, but will include the whole of Europe not just the British Isles and France.
But all good things come to those who work hard for them I say, and I think a genuine European Super League will come to fruition only after clubs within Europe can compete with whats on offer in Australia. By this I mean the north of England is a traditional place with many clubs located in near proximity to each other and none will be willing to budge to the benefit of their neighbour. However the European clubs (outside France, which I admit I have no idea of clubs and geography) don't have this disadvantage.
As a foundation of what I say I offer this: There are 3 local junior clubs in my region, out of 9, which is in a population of less than 200,000 which each boast over 24 junior teams each, with 1 club WELL over that number. Considering that there are only 12 age groups in junior league here, that shows that this is an area where league is a dominant sport. However if you look at the NRL and Superleague there are less than 34 players represented (probably alot less I just use 34 because it's 2 first grade teams and harder to argue against).
A continental Europe club could well become a reasonable inclusion in Superleague if it becomes a dominant force within it's own domestic league. In Europe, I would consider a dominant force as having 30 junior teams, at least, representing its club in the domestic scene plus offering opportunities to its rival clubs players to compete for positions (in a representitive sense if an application wasn't regional). Some see the success of one club as a detriment to another but the reality is, in sport atleast, that by being successful you will attract participants, and at the end of the day, in a worst case scenario, you will be able to provide opposition for your own teams if need be.
The point I'm trying to make is that it requires alot of junior players to come through the grades to make a good standard First Grade team. Then it takes alot of First Grade players to make a Representative Team. Then it will take a number of representative teams to compete against each other to identify 'class players'.. and so on..
I believe Rugby league will eventually become a dominant sport. It's too appealing not too.
Evenually the hard decisions may have to be made in the heartlands of England to move forward to create a European Superleague, OR maybe a continental league will emerge, either way, we are still some several generations from that day.
I dream your dream PS that one day I win a billion dollars/euros and can force the issue. But the reality is that right now it's going to be left to the volunteers, and lots of them, to become skilled enough to recruit players and coach them to be the best of their ability and hope that good fortune takes them the rest of the way!!!

I think the RFL needs to take the 36 clubs that make up the current top 3 divisions and create 2 licensed competitions, a Superleague of 18-20 and the remainder in a revised licensed Championship. At a minimum, I would have 4 from Leigh, Barrow, Halifax, Widnes & Toulouse added to SL which at a stroke does away with the P&R issues. I'm sure they could compete on the field against the likes of Quins, Salford & Wakey and would hopefully see their fortunes improved by the possibility of playing top teams on a more regular basis. I'm sure Leigh v Wigan, Warrington v Widnes and Fev v Leeds would attract good sized crowds.
Each league would be composed of 2 conferences, the draw for which could be done at a fancy media friendly draw. GF & CC cup winners would be seeded to keep them apart, there would be a limited number of cross conference games in order to make up required number of fixtures and keep derbies where say the 2 Hull teams are drawn in different conferences. I would have a fans poll to decide which legends of British rugby league the conferences should be named after.
Play offs would be simplified. Top 4 from each conference go into the conference play off, the winner from each play off series/ semi final goes to the Grand Final. I would have the losing semi finalists play a game for 3rd and 4th spots, this could be played as a double header with the Grand Final match. I would also consider switching the GF to Wembley.
If the RFL really wants to improve the matchday experience for fans thru stadium development, it needs to consider longer licenses say 5 years. In the new financial climate, raising the finance is considerably harder, public funding such as the Rhinos have benefited from will disappear and private finance will be looking for longer term guarantees. Who in their right mind would lend money to say Wakey at the moment after the noises from the RFL about them going down?
Posted 06 August 2010 - 03:17 PM
The question becomes how do you create a cxonference structure before you have enough teams. Or could you start it when you reach 16 teams in Super League? Maybe you merge the Southern-Celtic and Continental conference into one smalll non heartland conference. But even with two expansion clubs in 2015 taking the nonheartland number up, there would still be a smaller nonheartland conference. So perhaps conferencing has to wait until we get to 18 or 20 clubs. It also requires that we focus further expansion of numbers on expansion geographically.
One other problem I foresee, in going to 24 clubs, is the length of the season problem. Starting late January and ending in mid October is a long season, especially when the elite players then have international rugby league to play, and then they only get one month away from the training field. Elite players could have a burnout problem.
Going to 20 clubs, in 4 conferences of five clubs is definitely doable in terms of season length. But then the question becomes which clubs to drop from the list I have created, especially in the two M62 heartland conferences.

PS, whatever his faults, is at least mainly positive in outlook. His plan at the start if this thread is either total pie-in-the-sky or a very very long term possibility.
But it is better than Andy 'Eeyore' Wislon's prophecies of doom or people endlessly trying to drag the game back down to 'the good old days'.

I think they had a four pool system in the nineties when the four new teams entered and meant there were twenty teams in the ARL.
Posted 06 August 2010 - 05:05 PM
You can look at the list of clubs in the current Championship and Championship 1 to see how this could be done for the North-Northwest and Yorkshire conferences very easily.
For the Continental conference I would construct a Championship based on more than the current French Elite
e.g. Vaucluse. Montpellier, Aude, Catalans, Bordeaux, Paris Metro, Nantes, Lille, [b]+ 2 Spanish clubs + 2 Italian clubs[/b]
I presume Milan and Madrid are included

That pool system was brought in only to decide the fixtures as they had 20 teams playing 22 matches. In terms of the table it made no difference. A bit like the SL system for deciding the 'extra' matches each year (1v2, 3v4 etc.)
Of course in 1997 the game down under did operate a 2 pool system. Unfortunately the ARL was running one and Super League were running the other.

The top 5 or 6 champs league sides are usually the same old usual suspects season in, season out.
They are to big for the championship ( in its current format ) but deemed not big enough for the current SL set up,
These clubs probably have as many fans as the rest of Div 1 & the whole of Div 2 combined, dont alianate there fans.
The question to me is what to do with these LIMBO clubs who still have a lot to offer top flight RL ?
Place them in a extended SL on a 3/4/5 YR licence (granting them all enough time to do everything the licence requires) plus be competetive on the pitch & provide them with a RL Development manager each to help ease the transition .
Merge all the remaining clubs in a SL 2 division, Double or even treble their monies recieved through the RL/SKY, (Even if the current SL Clubs are to give up a % of their money due for the good of the game).
After all its about creating a much better sport for everyone not carrying/babysitting the historical top 6 SL CLUBS only.)
under very strick guidelinds of where to spend it (ie) development area's & provide them with a few RL development managers to work closely with & between ALL CLUBS EVENLY .
Gaurentee all SL2 clubs that the top team & the GF Winner WILL GET PROMOTED in season 3-4-or 5 & every other season forever ( as its a massive part of our sporting culture and should be reintroduced )
What will all this achieve ?
Hopefully a top flight SL thats expanded but more levelish thus much more exciting & would guarentee much higher attendances .. As for the very 1st time in the sports history the limbo or old school yo-yo clubs would be competing on a totally level playing field, just imagine club xxxxxx (Insert any of the 5 OR 6 here) & now Playing (Any 1 of the historical top 6 clubs) in the SL in a refurbed or brand new ground ( a few yrs into the licence ) the Home clubs fans will be out in numbers never seen for yrs & yrs, The away team will bring 1000+Supporters etc, So most sides will be getting 10'000+ not just a few...... WOW.....
This is the SL we all want isnt it ?
SL2 Clubs will then accept and believe that there is no CLOSED SHOP ANYMORE & that if they plan right , invest in the right area's then they can RISE AGAIN or a least bust a gut trying which would be great for the sport as they would surely fully embrace this scheme and all get much stronger, resulting in a very strong attractive game in front of increasing crowds.
If the powers to be want a EURO league then by all means intice & help these other teams to slot into the system but Not at the expense of our historical sides............................& before the usual fools say thing like "they have had 100 yrs and still mess up etc.........Well Leeds, Saints, Bradford & until very recently Wigan ALL Play/Played in ###### heaps , so if your going to sling the mud........sling it at "these" clubs as they have had more money & success then the rest of the others combinded & plenty of time to be progressive.
Failure to do "someting like this" may result & is deffo resulting in RL losing fans possibly for ever under the current set up of im all right jack SL attitude.
Current SL CLUB fans will not agree to this for the reasons in the paragraph above, put your club second for a short while while we make this game great again, but Nationally & Internationally, then when Football (round ball) implodes on its self we we will rule supreme.

How about someone comes up with a thread on how we get to the situation outlined in the OP?
Where do we get players of sufficient quality from?
How do we ensure the popularity of the game in virgin territories before launching a club there (not forgetting that this club has to strong enough and have sufficient resources/support to compete in a pan-western European League)?
Who is going to finance it????
Where are the TV contracts going to come from when most broadcasters in Europe aren't interested?
Especially when our expansion of the pro/semi-pro game in England, France and Wales hasn't been the greatest of successes in recent years.
Posted 06 August 2010 - 07:00 PM
We could do the same. One pool could operate fantasy land and the other could operate in reality land.

- Modeling of anisotropic plastic behavior of ferritic stainless steel sheet
- Author(s)
- Ahn, D. C.; Yoon, J. W.; Kim, K. Y.
- Abstract
- Modeling of anisotropic plastic behavior of ferritic stainless steel sheet (Type 409) was investigated using the three yield functions of Hill [A theory of the yielding and plastic flow of anisotropic metals. Proceedings of Royal Society of London, Series A 1948;193:281-97.], Barlat and Lian [Plastic behavior and stretchability of sheet metals. Part I: A yield function for orthotropic sheets under plane stress conditions. International Journal of Plasticity 1989;5:51-66] and Barlat et al. [Plane stress yield function for aluminum alloy sheet. Part I: Theory. International Journal of Plasticity 2003;19:1297-319.] (referred to as Yld2000-2d) criteria. Mechanical behaviors were characterized based on uniaxial tension, balanced biaxial bulge, and disk compression tests. Directionalities of yield stresses and r values were predicted from the three criteria and compared with experimental results. In order to verify the modeling accuracy of the three functions under complex loading conditions, cylindrical cup drawing and limiting dome height tests were carried out numerically and experimentally. It has been demonstrated that the result from Yld2000-2d criterion exhibits good agreement with experimental data. The effects of anisotropic hardening on earing and necking were also investigated based on the different levels of plastic work.

Owen is 2 yrs old and nurses when he wakes up in the morning, before and after nap, and before bedtime. Sometimes he'll nurse one additional time during the day.
The kids and I are going to visit my parents and I will be leaving the kids with them for about 36 hours (my sisters and I are going to NYC for an overnight and to do a few things, and it's a 4hr drive each way from my parents, so I think 36 hours is about right).
I haven't been away from him (minus his NICU time) for more than 4 hours. I do have a good milk supply, always have, but I figured I'd be fine not pumping while I'm gone. My girlfriend asked if I was bringing my pump and I said I wasn't and I thought I'd be fine and I don't want to carry it with me on the planes and in the airports, I have enough to carry plus both kids by myself, but she said she thinks I'll need to pump. I figure if I am super uncomfortable, I can hand express. I don't have experience being away from him though so I don't know.
What do you think?

This list has been compiled by Volunteers serving in Madagascar and is based on their experience. Use it as an informal guide in making your own list, bearing in mind that experience is individual. There is no perfect list! You obviously cannot bring everything we mention, so consider those items that make the most sense to you personally and professionally. You can always have things sent to you later. As you decide what to bring, keep in mind that you have a 100-pound weight restriction on baggage. (Luggage should be tough, lightweight, lockable, and easy to carry.) And remember, you can get almost everything you need in Madagascar.
General Clothing
- Lightweight all-weather jacket
- Hooded sweatshirt or fleece
- Knit hat and gloves
- Swimsuit (one-piece and very sturdy)
- Bandannas or handkerchiefs
- Baseball cap or straw hat for sun protection
- Good-quality lightweight raincoat and heavy-duty poncho
- Slacks and shirts or blouses (some sleeveless)
- Shorts and other clothes for lounging around (e.g., drawstring pajama pants or doctor's scrubs).
- For women, dresses or skirts (below the knee for teachers, with no slits above the knee and not tight-fitting), including a dressy outfit
- For women, cotton slips (short and long)
- For men, a button-down shirt and tie for special occasions
- Plenty of underwear, bras (including a sports bra), and socks
- Belt
- Money belt
- Quick-drying shorts for biking
Note: The three ideal characteristics of clothing in Madagascar are dark colors, many pockets, and the ability to withstand rain and mud splatters (i.e., quick drying and breathable). In general, one should dress conservatively. It does get cold, so bring some warm clothes. Do not bring a lot of clothes, just three or four outfits for staging and the beginning of training; you can buy just about anything in local markets.
- Sandals such as Tevas or Chacos
- Sneakers and/or hiking boots (at least two pairs of shoes)
- Professional shoes for teachers (with closed toes and comfortable for standing)
- Dress shoes for special occasions
Personal Hygiene and Toiletry Items
- Enough deodorant, shampoo, toothpaste, sunscreen, lotion, etc. to last you through training

I think most mainline American Protestant churches probably use the Revised Standard Version, and in the 50's and 60's(and still today) churches might use "the Good News" Bible. (a New Testament translation into more current language)._________________________

My 2 cents' worth: I have never particularly associated stiffnecked with religious writing, just old-fashioned writing.

Around New England we use stiffnecked fairly often. It is often connected with a superior attitude or snob-iness.
"Mrs Potter is very stiffnecked about her position in society."
Stubborn is used more in connection with someone who will not yield a point or perform an action.
"Five-year-olds can be very stubborn when asked to share toys."
"Even faced with proof, he was too stubborn to admit the point."
I do not consider them interchangeable, or use them interchangeably.

Hi Suededevil, I am aware that my response is ten years overdue but I happen to be a Mormon, and this morning as i was studying my scriptures, I came across the word as used in 1 Nephi 20: 4 in the footnotes. It was not the first time I was encountering it but my interest was piqued because verse 4 describes the House of Israel as having their necks made of iron sinew and their brows being brass, which is explained in the footnotes as stiffnecked. additionally, the verse uses the term obstinate and so this is the meaning of stiffnecked. It has an element of stubbornness and foolish pride, as well as being unteachable. This makes more sense when understood from the concept of the Jews having rejected their redeeemer....

With just a few merit badges on her tiny vest and this being only her second year with the scouts, she went on to sell 3,181 boxes of Girl Scout cookies, became the highest selling Girl Scout in all of South Texas and garnered the title of Cookie Princess.
And for selling so many boxes of cookies, she's accumulated a bevy of prizes, including a Samsung tablet, a laptop and Beats headphones.
But it took a lot of hard work and early mornings to climb to the top, and Cayenne's family was there every step of the way to help out.
"Her, her papa and I on many mornings would get up and go to one of the convenience stores in town and sell. So many Saturday mornings we'd be over there and ready to go by 6 a.m.," Janine Zander, Cayenne's mother, recalled.
And 3,181 boxes of cookies is a lot to be hauling around, but that's what dads and brothers are for, right?
Janine added, "Her brother, Caleb Zander, and her dad, Richard Zander Jr. were a tremendous help in loading and unloading cases of cookies from the house to the truck and back again each time she went selling."
So beginning in the middle of January, Cayenne got busy and set up shop at Goliad Market Days to get things rolling.
She had six weeks and a goal: To sell 2,000 boxes and get her little hands on the top prize which was the laptop.
"We were on such a roll and doing so good that we just thought we'd try and hit 3,000. We would have liked to see her get Cookie Princess at least once," Janine said.
So from Laredo to Victoria on down to the border, Cayenne beat out some 15,442 Girl Scouts and will be featured in the Girl Scouts 2014 ad campaign billboards.
"My husband and I, our mouths just dropped. He cried. I cried. And I was still trying to take pictures all at the same time," Janine said.
Having to head out and sell cookies whenever she had time had it's benefits. Cayenne learned money management, goal setting and business ethics.
Not too shabby for a second-grader.
Cayenne said, "I feel really happy because not too many people get to go up there and they announce who sold the most Girl Scout cookies."
And surely she gets to familiarize herself with the product she's selling. Which means trying out all the cookies herself and having her favorite.
"The Caramel Delights," Cayenne said with a smile.
With Cayenne just getting started with the scouts, she seems pretty excited to continue for a few more years, and quite possibly becoming an ambassador when she enters high school.
But she has her own reasons for staying with the scouts.
"It's fun and I like it because I get to spend time with my mom," Cayenne said.
Cayenne also mentioned that she can send e-mails with her new tablet which she found to be rather fun. And who does an 8-year-old e-mail?
"My mom," she said laughing loudly.
So there's still quite a few months until next January when the girls will once again begin selling the cookies, but Cayenne already has a goal in mind.
Even if it's a bit lofty.
"I was thinking that maybe I could sell double, but I don't know that," she laughed.
Cayenne seems very grateful for everything and the people who have supported her and helped her in reaching her goals.
And if she could, she would "go to the highest tower in Beeville and yell 'Thank you'."
Or maybe she could just send an e-mail.

Put a deep roasting tin onto the bottom shelf of the oven, and make sure that there's another shelf directly above it. Pull the roasting tin out on its shelf, fill two-thirds with boiling water from the kettle, then carefully slide it back in. Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Tear off a large sheet of foil and greaseproof paper (about 30 x 40cm). Sit the greaseproof on top of the foil and butter it.
Tip butter, flour and vanilla seeds into a food processor; pulse until the butter has disappeared. Tip into a mixing bowl. Stir through the suet, pour in the milk and work together with a cutlery knife until you get a sticky dough. You may need a drop more milk, depending on your flour.
Tip the dough out onto a floured surface, quickly pat together to smooth, then roll out to a square roughly 25 x 25cm. Spread the jam all over, leaving a gap along one edge, then roll up from the opposite edge. Pinch the jam-free edge into the dough where it meets, and pinch the ends roughly, too. Carefully lift onto the greased paper, join-side down (you might find a flat baking sheet helpful for this), loosely bring up the paper and foil around it, then scrunch together along the edges and ends to seal. The roly-poly will puff quite a bit during cooking so don't wrap it tightly. Lift the parcel directly onto the rack above the tin and cook for 1 hr.
Let the pudding sit for 5 mins before unwrapping, then carefully open the foil and paper, and thickly slice to serve.

I made three of these this weekend, two for someone else and one for us. It was delicious and I am delighted they can freeze. I used a good half a jar of jam per roly poly. I will definitely be making this again. For my third and final pudding, I found rolling it out on the buttered grease-proof paper worked quite well, as then there was no lifting of the pudding necessary, the grease on the paper didn't seem to hinder rolling the pudding up - certainly no more than rolling it on the work top. I also couldn't get someone's comment out of my head that calls this pudding 'dead man's leg!'
This turned out really well. Definitely needed a lot more jam than stated.
Before adding the jam I lifted the rolled out dough onto the greaseproof paper, this meant I didn't have to try and move the thing once it was jam-filled and delicate.
I used the same recipe yesterday, but substituted the jam for chocolate spread, that was also really tasty.
This was amazing! I followed the recipe exactly with the exception of using vanilla extract instead of vanilla seeds and don't think that it requires any more sugar; the jam provides enough sweetness. Buttered the greaseproof paper and had no problem with sticking. Easier to make than I thought but very messy! So yummy, will definitely make again.
This is a gorgeous recipe. It doesn't need any sugar to sweeten it, or any extra jam, in my opinion - the balance is just right, and with custard alongside, truely one of the British all-time great puddings. Worth keeping in the freezer for a quick fix, defrosts and heats brilliantly in the microwave. NB - at school, we affectionately called Jam Roly Poly 'dead man's leg', in reference to the 2-3 foot-long rolls, arranged in pairs in large baking tins, doled out by grumpy dinner ladies! We loved it then, and I still love it now. This recipe is very nostalgic!
For me to make something and for it to come out like it should is bordering on a miracle. This jam roly poly actually looked like the picture, tasted great and was easy to make!
After reading previous reviews I added a little more jam and this was a wise move, so be sure to add a little more jam!
A great easy to make pudding and came out delicious....
Scores from the family out of 5....
Anna - 5
Jamie - 5
Dad - 4 (suggested even more jam!)
Mum - 5
Enjoy it!
I've made this recipie 4 times and each time gone down a storm! Easy to do I made by rubbing the butter and flour by hand as I don't have a food processor I just guess the amount of jam making sure its generous without risking too much for it to just leak out everywhere! I don't like desserts too sweet so this is perfect as there's no sugar added to the dough, don't wrap too tightly and ten minutes before done unwrap the top slightly as this avoids sticking, will keep this recipie as one of my favourites and will use for ever!

I made this for my family and they said it was better than what they had at school.I put 3 times as much jam in because the first time I made it ,it wasn't sweet enough also the pastry can be bland so make sure you scrape all of your vanilla seeds in!
To solve the pudding sticking to the paper i put loads od lurpak on it and it worked a treat! Try this recipe it's yummy and delicious!
Questions (7)
Hi steerable, thanks for getting in touch and sorry to hear you didn't have success with this recipe. It's important to roll the dough out large enough so that you've got plenty of surface area to distribute the jam. Then make sure you don't spread it too close to the edges as this could also cause it to leak out. And finally, roll it up really carefully and slowly to keep as much in the central rolls as possible. Hope this helps, do let us know how you get on if you give it another go.

Battles to comeMay 15,2013
The decision by legislative leaders to defer until next year tax reforms opposed by Gov. Peter Shumlin could be the start of a divisive fight between progressive legislators and a governor whose credibility has suffered this year because of ill-starred tax proposals.
Or the search for acceptable tax reforms in the coming months could become the cooperative, productive exercise that all parties were pointing toward Monday as they described the agreement between Shumlin and legislative leaders.
With the legislative session in its final days, a potential showdown loomed between Shumlin and Democratic legislators who wanted to end tax breaks for wealthy taxpayers in order to lower rates for middle-class taxpayers. Shumlin opposed the changes, saying they had been cobbled together at the last minute and would hurt the economy.
House Speaker Shap Smith and Sen. John Campbell say they have not abandoned the Democrats tax reforms. Instead they have kept open the conference committee that had developed the bill, and the Legislature will take it up when it reconvenes in January.
Nevertheless, they have given the Shumlin administration seven months to try to chip away and undermine the legislators effort, if that is Shumlins intention. To many legislators, Shumlins intention is murky. His positions on taxes this year came with a Republican tinge, clothed in rhetoric about protecting the prerogatives of the wealthy and raising taxes on the working poor. Smith and Campbell have given in for the moment, but within their caucuses are Democrats who will want to defend the thrust of the Legislatures proposals.
As legislators work with the administration over the summer to hammer out acceptable tax reforms, they will no doubt be trying to weigh Shumlins motives. If they were to take Shumlins comments at face value, they might conclude he has been converted to the belief that the tax privileges of the wealthy must never be tampered with. Democratic legislators are not buying it.
Another possible motive is that Shumlin wants to hold the line on increases to anyones taxes because new taxes to pay for health care are in the offing and he wants to make sure the blow can be absorbed with minimal pain. To make a single-payer health care system work, some sort of state tax will be necessary, taking the place of health insurance premiums. Those taxes will be a hard sell, and by showing tax restraint now, Shumlin may believe he is bolstering his credibility on taxes for future battles.
Comments from Smith and Campbell displayed a remarkable degree of deference toward the governor. Campbell said he would rather defer action on tax reforms than get in a pit fight with the governor. They are all Democrats, after all, and it is clear they wanted to spare their governor the embarrassment that would be caused by shoving a bill down his throat or forcing him to veto it. They did that with a Republican governor in 2008, and it did not make for good feelings.
Apparent veto threats showed Shumlin was prepared to play hardball. Smith responded by saying he didnt want the issue, tax fairness, to be clouded by political differences. He thought it would be better to get all parties behind the eventual reforms. He said this even as he defended the thrust of the legislators proposals.
Shumlin would gain by working with legislators to develop a tax package. His tax proposals this year floundered because they came to the Legislature without legislative support. It is unlikely that the Legislature, particularly the members on the money committees who have studied these issues closely, will want to be railroaded toward tax proposals like those Shumlin was promoting this year. Rather, Shumlin ought to join legislators in a genuine effort to improve the fairness of the system. It appears that with the economy showing signs of improvement they have room to maneuver.
If Democratic legislators dont relish the prospect of caving again on the issue of tax fairness, they will have to assert themselves during the long search for solutions, and they will have to make their leaders follow. It appears the struggle among Democrats is just beginning.MORE IN EditorialsProtesters converged on a bank in Montpelier early this week to show their solidarity with the...

Sometimes, for our families, we have to sacrifice, leave things behind, to get ahead. That's exactly what one Montana family had to do for their six-year-old daughter this year.
At just six-years-old, a puppy's kiss is enough to make a little girl giggle. It's a much needed laugh for a girl many would think has nothing to laugh about. Gabby LeDuc loves to laugh, and is full of joy. She loves dogs and friends only like a six-year-old could.
At six-years-old, with her life ahead of her, Gabby is fighting for more laughs. She's fighting for her life.
What they thought as a sore throat has led to a new life. Gabby and her mom Kathy came to Spokane from Kalispell, Montana.
"I came with the clothes on my back and two dollars in my wallet," Kathy LeDuc said.
That was back in May. Gabby's summer and first months of school were instead filled with six rounds of chemotherapy, steroid treatments and blood transfusions.
All that before she lost her first tooth.
"The tooth fairy came gave me some money," Gabby said, proudly announcing she lost her first tooth.
The tooth fairy found her at the Ronald McDonald House. Stay there makes them feel supported; Kathy has someone to talk with and doesn't have to care for her daughter alone.
Gabby's dad is back in Montana and is able to visit every other weekend. In talking with Gabby she was worried about him, always more concerned about others.
"My dad's real lonely by himself," Gabby said.
As she waits for him -- and her next treatment -- little Gabby likes to paint and hang out with friends.
When laughter sounded like a lost idea after a doctor's visit back in May -- and coming here to Spokane was unexpected -- Gabby LeDuc is finding joy and laughter in an impossible situation as only a six-year-old could.
"I like it here, and all the kids, and it seems really fun being here," Gabby said.
Gabby will spend three more months at the Ronald McDonald House. She'll then get to go home, but will have to drive with her family five hours to Spokane for medical procedures every month.
