Rudy Gay to Sacto? Hmm...I smell championship!!!!
One take away is Westbrook's post up game is very strong. He's just too big for Hill.
BS... We have a damn good team. No game has an "L" written all over it, no matter what the circumstances.
Lance should defend Westbrook
Gotta have a big quarter if we want a chance to win.
I think against this opponent in particular, it is easy to see how a healthy Granger would be very beneficial.
WTF was that
Why? I don't think he could do any better
Our exhaustion is causing us to not only play bad but stupid. So frustrating.
Dude, why is Hibbert sticking with Perkins??
Leave that scrub open at all costs.
Size and speed
Size and strength maybe but Lance isn't all that fast, minus open court burst.
Durant is stronger than Paul George? Not sure I believe that.
Hibbert is playing awful defensively.
He is just letting Perkins block him from helping out on that Ibaka jumpshot
What we NEED is for PG to get going
Edit: there we go
No point in making shots if you can't prevent them from scoring.
We can't guard this team.
"We've got to be very clear about this. We don't want our players hanging around with murderers," said Larry Bird, Pacers president.
David West doing work, but we've got to get stops.
They're fighting, and that's all I really want to see. Working hard for every basket though.
See this is how we're supposed to play.
Why does it have to wait till half time to make these adjustments that should have been the original game plan?

CHICO — Chico City Council candidate Sean Morgan said much work needs to be done to promote jobs and business to increase the Chico tax base without raising taxes.
Morgan has lived in town 38 years, studied business and finance at Chico State University and ran a catalog distribution business until "the dawn of the Internet killed the business."
He and his wife also run a company that generates leads for companies hoping to do business with other companies.
Morgan also teaches business courses at Chico State.
When he started talking to people about city government, Morgan said he heard the "city finance staff lies to the City Council.
"It's very hard to follow the budget in the city of Chico. There are so many city accounts.
"One person can say the budget is balanced and the person right next to them is saying we're $20 million in the hole.
"Then someone says we would like monthly income statements," and staff responds "that would be a lot of work for staff ... and you probably wouldn't understand it.
"I'm sitting in the audiences thinking, 'who fires the person who just said that?'"
"We have 15 people on staff at the Finance Department," and at any given time there might be six police on the street, he said.
He said he has spoken to the new city manager, Brian Nakamura, who he believes may be able to "right-size this institution."
One issue is that it's difficult to get through permitting and regulations, because "you don't get the same answer from different people."
Morgan said a friend approached the city of Colusa with a business idea, and a councilor met with him to walk through the paperwork.
Questions have come up recently about homelessness in Chico, specifically in City Plaza.
"We have a big 'open' sign," that says "'come here with your backpacks and dogs and hang out.'"
"The Police Department has asked the city for misdemeanor vagrancy laws," but these have not been passed, he said.

Harper's Pictorial History of the Civil War, (Annotated) by Kara Walker
May 4–August 26, 2012
The large-scale prints in Kara Walker's 2005 portfolio,
Harper's Pictorial History of the Civil War (Annotated)
, feature her well-known silhouettes printed over reproductions of wood engravings from an 1866 publication,
Harper's Pictorial History of the Civil War
. In her portfolio, Walker's graphic "annotations" disrupt the historical narrative, exploring issues of race and gender, past and present.
This exhibition places two prints from Walker's 2005 portfolio in dialogue with a selection of 19th-century wood engravings that are contemporaneous with the original
publication. These Civil War era wood engravings focus on the portrayal of active roles played by African-Americans in the war and provide a historical perspective to Walker's very personal and 21st-century viewpoint
Curated by Rochelle Caruthers, Romare Bearden fellow, and Elizabeth Wyckoff, curator of prints, drawings, and photographs,
Harper's Pictorial History of the Civil War (Annotated) by Kara Walker
will be on view in Gallery 321 from May 4 through August 26, 2012.

Prize Recipient
Bree Guerra
My name is Bree Kathleen Guerra, and I was born in Austin, Texas to David and Sherri Guerra. When I was six, my family moved to McAllen, a growing town in deep south Texas, and have lived here ever since. This year I will be attending the University of Texas at Austin as a part of the Dean's Scholars Honors Program. I have been interested in science ever since I was young, and once I encountered physics I knew I found the field in which to make my career. Physics has the fascinating ability to define and explain the complex beauty of the world around me. Although I would love to focus my abilities in research, somehow I sense that for me this would not be enough. Teaching, at whatever level, would allow me to share my passion for science with others and perhaps inspire someone else to study the wonders that nature holds for us to find.

The self-buoyant AquaLink View broadcasts a unique registered distress signal that not only tells rescuers where you are, but who you are. The onboard 66-channel GPS can fix your position to within 100 meters and then utilizes a powerful 406 MHz signal to relay your distress call to orbiting satellites. As local Search and Rescue is deployed, a separate homing signal and integrated LED strobe light guide rescuers to your exact location. Featuring the same advanced technology and robust features as the AquaLink 406, the AquaLink View adds a reassuring element with its next-generation digital display. Upon activation, the high-visibility screen displays a continuous stream of crucial data, including confirmation that the beacon is working, your exact GPS coordinates, remaining battery power, and visual prompts for correct deployment.

Wounded Warriors wrap up trip with Brewers
WASHINGTON -- After three dream days dressing in the uniform of their favorite team, the Brewers' VIPs returned the favor.
The whole team traveled home to Milwaukee on Sunday wearing Wounded Warrior Project polo shirts that were gifted by Shane Kruchten and Brian Schultz, the Marine Corps veterans who joined the team on its weekend trip. Guests of Brewers GM Doug Melvin, they enjoyed the full Major League experience, starting with a trip on a chartered flight during which they were handed envelopes filled with three days of big league meal money: $345.
Each day, Kruchten and Schultz shagged flies in the outfield during batting practice. Prior to Friday's series opener, they joined manager Ron Roenicke at home plate to exchange lineup cards with Nationals manager Matt Williams. On Saturday, they were part of a team contingent that toured the White House, then received a tour of the Nationals' home clubhouse from Adam LaRoche, who had heard about their trip. On Sunday, Kruchten and Schultz served on the field as batboys.
"It really feels like we're part of the team," said Schultz, who is from Wisconsin Dells. "They've really embraced us as part of the team as well. I wondered if it would be kind of weird to be in the locker room, like, 'Who's this joker?' But I haven't felt that one bit."
The two addressed the team on Friday afternoon, with Kruchten sharing a mini-documentary that detailed his return from two tours in Iraq and his battle with post-traumatic stress disorder.
"Being able to hold court for the Milwaukee Brewers was nuts," Kruchten said. "Rookies don't even get the opportunity to hold court of the Milwaukee Brewers. The entire team was quiet and watched us, and listened to everything we said. ... It was hard for me to say that. Prior to that video, only three people knew my real life story."
Of the rest of the weekend, Kruchten said, "Coming in here and being able to wear their uniform and being able to give them a Wounded Warrior Project shirt to wear, and to be part of the family, nothing can relate to it. Everybody in Milwaukee is more than jealous. It's an honor to be part of their family and go out and feel like a big leaguer for a weekend."
Brewers manager Ron Roenicke was more than happy to oblige.
"I think it helps our guys," Roenicke said. "I talk about this little bubble we're in. It's nice when you have to get out of it."

Genotypic Resistant HIV Strains in Taiwan

- How to Read a Study Record
Based on the investigators previous study, seventy-four of 786 HIV-1 isolates (9.4%), collected between 1999 to 2006, harbored one or more primary mutations associated with antiretroviral resistance to reverse-transcriptase inhibitors (RTIs) or protease inhibitors (PIs) in naïve patients. However, the drug resistance profiles for the HIV-1 integrase gene is unclear. Three objectives are proposed:
- To investigate and compare the drug resistance profiles for the HIV-1 integrase gene between experienced and naive patients, who has not being exposed to Raltegravir.
- To investigate and compare the drug resistance profiles for the HIV-1 integrase gene between different subtypes (subtype B, CRF01_AE and CRF07_BC).
- To identify potential amino acid mutations in the integrase gene, which might affect the efficacy of Raltegravir.
|HIV-1 HIV Infections
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Observational Model: Case-Only
Time Perspective: Prospective
|Official Title:
|Identification and Characterization of Genotypic Resistant HIV Strains in Taiwan
|Estimated Enrollment:
|Study Start Date:
|August 2009
|Estimated Study Completion Date:
|July 2010
|Estimated Primary Completion Date:
|July 2010 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
From 2008 to 2009, blood samples will be collected from consecutive HIV-1-infected patients who received HIV care at the National Taiwan University Hospital. We expect to collect 100 cases who are antiretroviral naïve and 100 cases who are treatment-experienced patients. A standardized case collection form will be used to record data of demographics and clinical characteristics and laboratory results, such as plasma HIV RNA load (PVL) and CD4 cell counts. PVL will be quantified by the Cobas Amplicor HIV-1 MonitorTM Test, version 1.5, (Roche Diagnostics Corporation, Indianapolis, USA) according to manufacturer's protocol. The CD4 cell count will be determined using FACSFlow (Becton Dickinson). This study was approved by the Institutional Review Board of the hospital.
The in-house genotypic drug resistance test will be performed to determine the drug resistance profiles for the HIV-1 pol gene, focusing on protease, reverse transcriptase, and integrase. Drug resistance mutations will be identified with the use of the HIVdb program of the Stanford University HIV Drug Resistance Database (http://hivdb.stanford.edu), in accordance with the drug-resistance mutation list of the International AIDS Society-USA Consensus Guidelines [24]. Strains with genetic mixtures of wild-type and mutant sequences at amino acid residues that code for major drug resistance will be considered to be drug resistant. Based on the interpretation given by the HIVdb program, sequences will be divided into the drug-resistant sequences, interpreted as having high, intermediate, and low levels of resistance, and the sensitive sequences, interpreted as the sensitive and potentially resistant. Multi-drug resistance (MDR) will be defined as having genotypic resistance to more than one class of antiretroviral drugs. Reference sequences of various subtypes and recombinants will be retrieved from the Los Alamos database (http://hiv-web.lanl.gov/seq-db.html). Sequences will be aligned with the Clustal W listed in the MEGA (molecular evolutionary genetics analysis) analytical package (version 3.0) [25] with minor manual adjustments. The phylogenetic trees will be constructed by the neighbor-joining method based on the Kimura 2-parameter distance matrix listed in the MEGA software. Bootstrap values greater than 750 of 1,000 replicates are considered significant.
The phenotype of those with specific or unique amino acid mutation at integrase gene will be determined using in-house phenotypic assay. Briefly, the p7 to vif fragment, about 3.6kb, will be amplified from patients' plasma viral RNA and cloned into our backbone viral clone (Figure 1). The resultant clones will be transfected into 293 cells to produce infectious viruses, whose titers will be determined by p24 assay and equal amounts of viruses will be subsequently used to infect PBMC from healthy donors. Virus titers in the supernatants from infected cells after 3, 5, and 7 days post infection in the presence or absence of tested compounds will be determined by real-time PCR or p24 assay. The minimal concentration of compounds required to reduce 50% of supernatant viral copies (EC50) will be calculated by regression analysis of the dose-response curves generated from real-time PCR or p24 assay.

Muskingum College forensics team places in the nation's top ten
APRIL 20, 2004 - The Muskingum College forensics team has returned to the nation's top ten with a fourth place performance at the 34th annual National Forensic Association (NFA) national tournament held at Western Illinois University in Macomb, April 15-20.
Dan Shuey '07 led the way with four qualified events. Additionally, Shuey qualified for the 132nd annual Interstate Oratorical Association tournament, to be held April 23-24 in Phoenix, Arizona. This is the third year in a row a Muskingum student has represented Ohio at that tournament, which features the top two persuasive speakers from each state.
Kevin Triskett '08 followed up with two qualified events. Both were competing in their first NFA nationals.
This is Muskingum's strongest finish at the NFA tournament since the team took third place in 2001. At this year's tournament, Muskingum's speakers placed higher than their peers from schools including Purdue University, the University of Michigan and the University of Wisconsin.

I didn't want him on the Pacers due to the massive baggage, but gradually he has earned my trust. That did not happen in the last 6 games but over the course of his NBA career. He seems to want to get better and he's done that. At this point, he does belong in the starting unit until Granger returns.
He's probably made more strides than any other player. He's fixed problems about his game that I did not think he could fix. Bravo for the young man. I hope he keeps his nose clean and matures into a good NBA player...
The thing I really like and why I think Hill and Lance work well together is that they are both combo guards. Either one is interchangeable at the point and sg spot.
Hopefully this starting lineup is the final one. That way we can get some continuity and continue to get more comfortable with each other.. I also like that Vogel is ensuring a starter on the floor at all times, which is how it should be.
First time in a long time, I've been happy with the team that was constructed, and now they struggle. I blame the coach.

I almost forgot Mike Wells, he hated on Lance early on but it looks like he starting to like him now, I'm always busting his b**** on twitter.
Lance's personal issues are real.
Not as "real" as they used to be, thankfully, but he is still on a short leash in terms of people watching his personal life. And that's only fair.
At the same time, we also need to be fair about how excellent are his basketball skills. There is no one on this team that compares in terms of ballhandling, offensive moves, midrange, creativity, and elite court vision. He is a man child physically. Now he is showing himself to be our best outside threat.
I'm not saying let's fall in love with talent. I'm saying let's give this wild talent a real chance, especially since the past three years have been pretty much incident free except for the very terrible start.
I think Lance has Dwayne Wade type upside. He is as close as we may come to getting a true star in Indianapolis.

It sounds like Mike had a reason to criticize him though. Apparently he wasn't communicative with his teammates either as a rookie and struggled to listen to criticism.
Or maybe not.

Unlike green and mahinmi.....this is Lance's last season with us to prove whether he can handle the heat or not. We have to find that out now...rather than "never". At some point....he has to "sink or swim". Lance has 6 to 7 months to show us whether he is worth it or not.
Ash from Army of Darkness: Good...Bad...I'm the guy with the gun.
Very impressed with Lance's work ethic. And he seems to want to be better on defense. Never thought that would happen.
I love it when Lance gets a defensive rebound and bull rushes his way on a fast break. I would hate to be the guy who has to step in his way to try and stop him.
I just opened this thread and expected someone to say Lance will soon be an all-star. I like his game alright now, but DWade? I'm not there yet. I think he might be starting guard material though.
I'm not perfect and neither are you.
Romans 3:23 for all have sinned and fall short of the esteem of Elohim,
Ephisians 4: 32 And be kind towards one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as Elohim also forgave you in Messiah.
I haven't been able to watch the last few games, but I'm watching the Wizards game now and I can't help but be impressed with Lance. He is one of the only players I see that makes the correct pass consistently. He has definitely been the most impressive Pacer this year to me.
I think in a few years he will be KILLER on the break.
I think Lance has amazing first guard off the bench potential. Let's not get carried away with other stuff though. Although, my god, he's only 22.
Not at all! Lance could also be in late in games as he possess critical ball handling and passing skills that the rest of the team is below average at.
Right now, Lance has to be in the running for Most Improved Player.

Rex Foundation Announces Jerry Garcia Award and Grants
The Rex Foundation, a charitable organization dedicated to supporting distinctive arts, environmental and social services programs through grassroots giving, is pleased to announce the recipient of the Jerry Garcia Award, along with other new grantees.
Arts for Humanity! is the recipient of the Rex Foundation's Jerry Garcia Award in memory of Grateful Dead guitarist and founding Rex Board member Jerry Garcia. This award honors and supports individuals and groups that work to encourage creativity in young people. We believe the work of Arts for Humanity! (AH!) is just what the Jerry Garcia Award is about. AH! celebrates humanity through the arts with programs that cultivate creativity and empower people with developmental disabilities, at-risk youth, the elderly and others in partnership with local artists and the Santa Barbara community. AH!'s performing and visual arts programs benefit individuals and build community by giving a voice to the underserved through the power and beauty of the arts.
We made four additional grants to grassroots non-profit organizations doing outstanding work. In connection with the generous support of the Sacramento Kings that resulted from the February and March, 2011 Grateful Dead Tribute games, the following two local area programs received Rex grants:
- Sacramento Blues Society Blues In The Schools (BITS) program, which gives Sacramento-area youth an opportunity to participate in a dynamic interactive musical experience with professional musicians. The Blues In The Schools program brings students together with musicians, educators, storytellers, and other performers in a synergistic environment, creating a free flowing exchange of the Blues experience and facilitating a lifelong passion for learning.
- The Yolo County Children's Alliance, which was established in 2002 as an essential services program at Alyce Norman Center in West Sacramento to address a number of concerns that impacted children and families. The Rex grant helps support the Children and Families' Access to Food program that provides 150 low-income families with fresh fruits and vegetables and other food items each week. This program, threatened by recent state budget cuts, not only provides essential food and nutrition education, but also enables the Alliance to reach more families with additional support services.
The two other Rex grant recipients are:
- The Tiburon Salmon Institute (TSI), an organization that teaches school-age youth about salmon, steelhead, and the stream, river and ocean habitats that we share with them, with the overall mission to "Empower Today's Youth To Save Tomorrow's Salmon." The Rex grant of $5,000 both supports this vital work and helped make possible a matched grant from the Belevedere Community Foundation, thereby significantly boosting the ability of TSI to advance its program.
- The Bolinas Stinson Summer Camp provides all local West Marin children with equal access to memorable summer camp experiences. Although camp fees are kept to a third the cost of similar camps, many area families are unable to pay even part. The Rex grant provides funding for The Music Project for the Bolinas Stinson Summer Camp to provide additional activities in the form of music education for the campers, with emphasis on building community through music, especially through the rhythms of drumming.
Click here to learn more about each of these great Rex grantees.
About the Rex Foundation:
Furthering what Jerry Garcia and the Grateful Dead started 27 years ago, the Rex Foundation endeavors to fund grassroots programs that are often under the radar of larger funding entities, yet work in bold, innovative ways to carry out essential work toward a healthy environment, promotion of the arts, protection of indigenous cultures, assisting others less fortunate, building strong communities, and educating children and adults. The Rex Foundation has distributed $8.6 million in grants to over 1,000 programs across the U.S. and internationally, while also carrying out fundraising initiatives that foster creativity and positive community connections.

Romantic and elegant, Paris has a place in every international traveller's heart. But follow our insider's guide by our correspondent and you'll fall in love with the City of Light all over again, discovering the chicest new boutiques, the coolest areas and the most delightful cafés and museums
Located in the centre of Paris, among the city's luxury fashion boutiques and world-class museums, and just steps away from the regal Tuileries Garden, Mandarin Oriental, Paris is in a prime spot for visiting the best the capital has to offer. Start the day by breakfasting like a modern-day Sun King with eggs, pancakes and smoothies at the hotel's Camélia restaurant before setting off to explore, beginning with the area around the hotel in the distinguished first arrondissement.
The Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel, located near the Louvre and Mandarin Oriental, Paris
Paris is known as the capital of haute couture. Rue Saint-Honoré and the streets leading from Mandarin Oriental are a world-renowned destination for designer fashion: big international labels Chanel, Lanvin, Yves Saint Laurent, and brand-new stores from Balenciaga and Schiaparelli, sit alongside smaller, lesser-known boutiques. Locals and visitors are suitably well heeled, well coiffed and well chauffeured, and the area exudes wealth and class.
Merci, a three-floor concept store comprising several cafés, homeware and fashion
Stéphanie Roger, owner of local fine-jewellery boutique White Bird, says Paris's first arrondissement 'is a place reserved for luxury shopping – jewellery, in particular', with the magnificent Place Vendôme housing international fine jewellery names including Cartier and Boucheron. But it's just around the corner on the quieter rue du Mont Thabor – where the atmosphere is altogether more intimate – that Roger opened her multi-brand store, stocking one-off and rare designs from independent designers such as Annina Vogel and Pippa Small.
The glass and metal Pyramide that forms the entrance to the Louvre museum
Classic leather goods houses that whiff of moneyed heritage are also among the specialist luxury stores here. Choose from world-famous saddlers and Birkin-bag creator Hermès, the revived 19th-century trunk-makers Moynat and its crocodile-leather 'City' bags, or Goyard, with its discreet monogrammed totes, luggage and even collars for the most pampered of pets.
The affluence and patrimony seen in these purveyors of luxury leather goods is representative of the first arrondissement as a whole. As Guillaume Salmon, head of PR for concept store Colette (also on the rue Saint-Honoré), explains, this area 'in the centre of Paris, between Concorde, Palais Royal, Opéra and the Tuileries, is full of history, tradition and heritage'. It is also home to contemporary culture and fashion, which Colette demonstrates. Founded 15 years ago, the shop – selling clothes, books, streetwear, jewellery, beauty products and a plethora of fun gadgets and gifts to a diverse clientele – is a bright space showcasing the most cutting-edge looks from designers such as Junya Watanabe, Alaïa and Alexander Wang, to a soundtrack of electronic beats. Its dynamic is reflected elsewhere in the area, as newer and younger brands set up shop among the more established names.
Old-established candlemaker Cire Trudon
To continue the contemporary theme, carry on further east to Kitsuné, a clothes store from the people behind the record label of the same name (which produces artists such as Two Door Cinema Club and Is Tropical). The refined and simple boutique stocks the brand's preppy, high-quality casual gear for men and women, which has a Japan-meets-France aesthetic adorned with the label's cute fox motif.
Paris is the capital of haute couture, and big names sit alongside smaller boutiques

The entrance to Rose Bakery in the northern Marais
The high-class shopping extends beyond fashion and jewellery in this part of Paris. Astier de Villatte, back on rue Saint-Honoré, is favoured by Parisians for its delightfully wonky white-washed earthenware crockery, scented candles and androgynous colognes. For an even wider choice of exceptional and original perfumes, you also have the pick of haute-parfumiers Frédéric Malle, Annick Goutal and Francis Kurkdjian, all within walking distance of each other and the hotel.
Left Bank accessories boutique Avril Gau
From here, walk a couple of minutes to the historical Comédie-Française theatre, where, if your French is up to scratch, you can catch a matinée by one of the nation's great playwrights, such as Molière or Feydeau. If your language skills are limited, though, admire the grand building from outside and continue on behind the theatre, where you can walk among contemporary artist Daniel Buren's newly restored black and white striped columns leading to the Palais Royal. Here, the regal and historic arcades that surround a perfectly manicured garden contain some of the most exclusive names in fashion: Stella McCartney neighbours French shoe designer Pierre Hardy, vintage clothes store par excellence Didier Ludot and accessories designer Corto Moltedo.
Sur Mesure par Thierry Marx at Mandarin Oriental, Paris
Wander back down rue Saint-Honoré towards the gilded and grandiose Place de la Concorde with its fountains and obelisk. If you're flagging, stop off for a perfect sugar hit at Pierre Hermé, the pâtisserie famous for macaroons with unexpected combinations of flavours (green tea, Chanterelle mushroom and lemon) that change seasonally. Or swing back past Mandarin Oriental, Paris to sample some traditional French pastries at the hotel's Cake Shop, such as the famous Saint-Honoré, a creamy puff-pastry delight (named after the hotel's address). Energy restored, take your pick from any one of the area's legendary museums. Stroll through the refined Tuileries Garden to, arguably, the most important museum in the world, the Louvre, or head to L'Orangerie to admire Monet's Water Lilies, or the Jeu de Paume, which specialises in photography exhibitions. Or explore the Musée des Arts Décoratifs, which showcases furniture and design greats in its permanent collection, and also hosts temporary exhibitions, often devoted to fashion.
Bar 8 at Mandarin Oriental, Paris, which opens to a tranquil courtyard garden
Next, cross the River Seine to the Left Bank and St Germain, a chic area of Paris formerly home to literary greats and bohemians, which is now the residence of the stylish, and moneyed, set. It has a charming, yet refined neighbourhood feel: 'The Left Bank is composed of historic buildings, squares, alleys and roads on a human scale, as well as terraces and cafés and little boutiques,' says accessories designer Avril Gau, whose eponymous boutique is on the quiet rue des Quatre Vents. Gau, who once designed for Chanel, creates quality shoes, bags and accessories that are made in France, Italy and Portugal and are sold to those in the know, here, in her only boutique worldwide.
The Pont Royal and the elegant Ecole du Louvre
To further emulate the local Left Bank look – a stealth-wealth sartorial approach characterised by a seemingly effortless attention to detail – visit the three French fashion darlings of the moment: Isabel Marant, Carven, designed by Guillaume Henry, and Vanessa Bruno – all, unsurprisingly, positioned in this area. To accessorise, pop into Jérôme Dreyfuss's boutique for his slouchy leather bags, and then visit the most luxurious of lingerie designers, Carine Gilson, who creates haute-couture underwear using the finest Chantilly lace and Lyon silks.
The Left Bank, formerly home to literary greats, is now the residence of the moneyed set
The Left Bank, formerly home to literary greats, is now the residence of the moneyed set
For an authentic dose of Rive Gauche (Left Bank) culture, visit the Musée Rodin or the Musée Maillol, both of which house permanent collections of works by their namesakes, as well as temporary exhibitions. From either of these, make your way to Deyrolle, a taxidermy shop and museum founded in 1831, which is one of the last bastions of the urbane and affluent Rive Gauche spirit.
Continue exploring this romantic district and seek out a couple of exquisite French candlemakers. Cire Trudon has been creating candles since 1643 and, today, it is popular among informed Parisians for its fragrant products, which have names such as Empire and Ernesto and notes including tobacco and hay. Iconic scented candlemaker and perfumier Diptyque also has its flagship store in St Germain – the fig scent with its green, fruity notes is a cult classic.
The Jardins du Palais Royal
The area also has an illustrious literary history, with Jean-Paul Sartre, Simone de Beauvoir and Albert Camus having discussed existentialism at the iconic St Germain cafés Les Deux Magots and Café de Flore, both of which are still prime spots for book-related chatter and people-watching while savouring a hot chocolate on the pavement terrace. Today, the Rive Gauche literary spirit lives on in the form of bookshops La Hune, 7L and Shakespeare and Company. La Hune is a local fixture specialising in literature and fine art. On a little road, just behind the Seine, 7L is Karl Lagerfeld's bookshop, stocking tomes on photography, art and architecture. Shakespeare and Company is a veritable Parisian institution, selling English books and playing host to many literary events. Its location, opposite Notre Dame, means people-traffic around here is inevitable, but despite the crowds of tourists, explains Sylvia Whitman, the shop's owner, 'the atmosphere of the Left Bank is rich and elegant. You can't help but be affected by the buzzing energy and incredible history of the area.' Indeed, you can muse over the rich history of St Germain from the comfort of the elegant Ladurée tea room, and at the same time nibble on the pâtisserie's famous macaroons while perusing your new purchases.
Sculpture at Galerie Perrotin
Cross back over the Seine to the Right Bank and head to the Marais, or more specifically to the lively northern Marais – a buzzing hub of contemporary art, design and boutiques. First stop: the private galleries, of which there are many in the Marais. The best include Galerie Perrotin, Yvon Lambert and Galerie Thaddaeus Ropac. Galerie Perrotin has two futuristic spaces in the area and counts international artists such as Murakami, alongside home-grown talent such as Xavier Veilhan, in its stable. Lambert was one of the first gallerists to set up shop here, opening his Marais gallery in the Eighties, in which he shows the likes of conceptual artist Jenny Holzer and photographer Nan Goldin. And Ropac attracts collectors and art lovers with works from contemporary stars including Gilbert and George and Marc Quinn.
Fine jewellery store White Bird
Stroll over to the charming rue Charlot where, among several independent boutiques, you'll find jewellery shop Monsieur. Simple, understated pieces fashioned from hammered gold and silver are made by founder Nadia Azoug and her team in the atelier at the back of the property.
Another local store in the neighbourhood is bookshop 0fr, run by brother and sister team Alexandre and Marie Thumerelle, specialising in fashion, photography and architecture books. Its clientele is suitably creative, as it attracts initiated bibliophiles from near and far. 'All the art directors and people who work in fashion come to the shop, but we also get people who are just curious. 0fr is located here because lots of our clients live or work in the area,' says Alexandre.
These kind of media types and the typical Parisian bobo (a bohemian bourgeois Parisian who is a denizen of the northern Marais with discerning tastes and a disposable income) are also patrons of concept store Merci, a three-floor warehouse-type space filled with fashion, accessories, homeware and – perfect for a quick pit stop – several cafés.
Relax in Tuileries Garden
There are also many other typically bobo places to rest weary feet, including fashionista-favourite Rose Bakery for green tea and lemon cake, or a healthy salad from its deli-style counter. Or try the covered food market, Le Marché des Enfants Rouge – the oldest market in Paris. For a sweet and luxurious gastronomic treat, visit pâtissier and chocolatier Jacques Génin – his millefeuilles, which are made to order to preserve their crunch, are, to some, the best in Paris, and the delicate square chocolates make excellent gifts.
Galerie Perrotin
Culture-wise, modern art museum the Pompidou Centre is a clear highlight: with its inside-out, brightly coloured architecture rising above the surrounding buildings, it is, quite literally, unmissable. For something more aristocratic, and a little more off the beaten track, visit the Musée de la Chasse et de la Nature. Paris's quirky hunting and nature museum displays guns and all kinds of hunting paraphernalia within a 17th-century former mansion.
Stroll through the refined Tuileries Garden to the Louvre

Finally, make your way back to the haven of Mandarin Oriental, Paris to relax and unwind, either with a treatment at the cocoon-like spa, or with a cocktail at the sophisticated Bar 8. Once refreshed and recharged, take advantage of being in the capital of gastronomy and dine at the exclusive, two-Michelin-starred Sur Mesure restaurant run by the esteemed French chef, Thierry Marx. Sample his innovative, molecular cuisine, which includes dishes such as shellfish mousse with caviar crostini – just make sure you book ahead as this is one of the hottest tables in Paris right now.
Fashion store Carven
Continue the evening in superior style by taking in a ballet or opera performance at the grand and gilded Palais Garnier, or with a nightcap at Silencio, the hip private members' club designed by David Lynch. Then, after such an action-packed day, you'll be ready for your head to hit the pillow and to sleep soundly in the comfort and luxury of Mandarin Oriental, Paris.

St John's Yeovil hosted the ninth concert in the "Wind & Wave" series sponsored by the Somerset Organists' & Choirmasters' Association (SOCA) in aid of Somerset flood relief.
St John's resident organist Ray Willis was joined by musicians from Bruton School for Girls (BSG), where he also teaches, in a richly varied programme juxtaposing organ music with a number of glorious works for cello, as well as songs from three popular musicals, before joining organ, cello and voices together in Franck's Panis Angelicus. Matt Dury, Director of Music at BSG, accompanied the vocal items on electronic keyboard.
The programme was as follows: J S Bach Toccata & Fugue in D minor; J S Bach Prelude from Suite No 1 in G for unaccompanied cello; Georg Golterman La Foi, Opus 95 No 1; Feed the birds (Mary Poppins) sung by Eva Cowlishaw; Healey Willan Three Chorale Preludes: Quam Pastores (Jesu good above all other), Song 13 (Dearest Jesu, we are here), Vulpius (Good Christians all rejoice and sing); I'd give my life for you (Miss Saigon) sung by Flora McLaren; Camille Saint-Saëns Allegro Appassionato, Opus 43; Saint-Saëns The Swan (from Carnival of the Animals); Pietro Yon Toccatina "L'organo primitivo"; I know him so well (Chess) sung by Monique Sang & Julia Robbins; Tchaikovsky Barcarole (June from "The Seasons"); Gabriel Fauré Elégie, Opus 24; César Franck Panis Angelicus Born in 1996 in the city of Poznań, western Poland, not far from Berlin, Małgorzata (Maggie) Kasprzak began learning the cello when she was seven. Her mother, a violinist, said: "There are so many pianists, and you're too lazy to stand when practising violin, so cello is the best choice for you!"
After 7 months with Dorota Hajzer's class she won 2nd place at the National Cello Competition in Bydgoszcz, being the youngest participating pupil. In 2005 she won 1st prize at the International Cello Competition in Vysny Kubin, Slovakia. This was followed by 1st prize at the International Cello Competition in Liezen, Austria, playing La Foi by Golterman.
Maggie attended masterclasses with the renowned cellist Kazimierz Michalik in Poland before studying with Tomasz Lisiecki, Professor at the Music Academy in Poznań. She now holds a British Alumni Society scholarship to study in the UK, and is at present studying cello with the internationally acclaimed Venezuelan cellist Arturo Serna. Maggie enjoys the sense of fulfilment gained from studying cello and the sciences in the supportive environment which Bruton School for Girls provides.
One member of the audience commented afterwards: "What a super concert, a real privilege, treat and joy to be present, and very interesting to hear about the organ as well. I had no idea it had nearly 2,000 pipes – amazing! And the combination of Ray on the organ, Maggie with her cello and the excellent songs from the others made for a memorable and beautifully balanced evening. Panis Angelicus with organ, cello and voices brought the concert to a perfect end! Thank you."
Donations amounted to £272.55, bringing the total raised so far by the "Wind & Wave" series of concerts and recitals to £1,765.13.

|The scenery on this was unreal. I absolutely loved the entire Orderville Canyon top down experience. I however was not in love with the hordes of people in the narrows upon exiting. I would totally do it again and again and again. The first dry fall that we hiked around would be an amazing rappel. For sure need to come back and try that out!

|The upper half of the canyon had me hopping across so many rocks that I hardly had a chance to look up and admire the beauty for fear of breaking my ankles/neck. The lower half had me giggling like a little kid, ogling 300' canyon walls, and sliding down wet rock into swimmable pools.
Took a friend from back east here as her first canyon -- more than manageable for a canyoneering rookie, and the views don't get much better than this.
I would recommend this beauty to any and all! If you've got weak ankles, some trekking poles for the lower half/Narrows portion may be helpful, but I did just fine without.

|Kim, Kessler, Shaylee, and I did Orderville Canyon. We hired a shuttle from Ponderosa, but unfortunately left the camera in the car (the photo below is from SP member Tanya).
It was a hot day, but Orderville is a great trip in the heat, especially the lower half. The narrows were great and fun, but there was much more swimming than the NPS said there was. We were surprised by this, but it was pleasant on a hot day.
The waterfalls were really nice as well and the kids really enjoyed the canyon. We did the route in a fast six hours, plus the hike out the Narrows.

|Climbing UP Orderville Canyon in Zion
Date Climbed: Aug 25, 2009
|I was able to hike and climb all the way up Orderville Canyon with no technical gear. Starting from the bus, hiking up the Virgin, and taking the first real tributary on the right you find Orderville. There are lots of clever obsticals along the way, becoming porgressively more difficult until they begin to feel all but unpassable.
There were two deep pools (had to swim and could not touch bottom) with climbs up small water falls. At the second there is a large choke stone completely filling the narrows with a second one the size of a RV stuck about 25' directly above the first. This is the MOST DIFFICULT obsticle. I am a good climber (former climbing guide), and I made it up on my third attempt. After two failed atempts to the right (where it is dry) I had to swim to the left and climb the falls - it was a short, but frightening ascdent for me.
Once at the top I found there are rappel hangers on the left when going downstream. I hiked most of the rest of the way to the Orderville spring, had lunch and returned back the same way. I followed a group of hikers going down and used their rope to rap down off the above described obsticele.
Good luck!

|Unseasonably cold, fairly high water. I chose not to wear a wetsuit -- big mistake. I had a 0.5 mm surfer's shortsleeve shirt, whose only virtue was in being black. The NPS later told us the water was 45F. Coming back through the Narrows, with several swims, was utter agony.
But yes, it was beautiful.

Research Mailbag
James McDonald, Professional Hitter
Welcome to the latest installment of the Baseball Prospectus Research Mailbag. This week, we'll tackle Hall of Famers being selected in later rounds of the draft, the home team's winning percentage in extra-inning contests, and the quirks of Matt Cain's one-hitter against the Pirates last Friday. As always, if there's a question you would like to see answered in a future mailbag, please feel free to send it in via email or through the "Contact Author" form (please remember to include your full name and hometown with your question).
Twenty-five current Hall of Fame members have been selected in the Rule 4 draft since its inception 47 years ago. The classes of 1965, 1971, and 1973 each produced three players who would wind up in Cooperstown, and no other class has had more than two.
In 1971, the Kansas City Royals used their second-round pick—the 29th-overall selection—on high school shortstop George Brett. The Phillies followed by taking Ohio University shortstop Mike Schmidt with the 30th pick. Both finished their careers ranked among the top 10 hitters of all-time in WARP.
Two years after Brett and Schmidt went back-to-back, the Brewers and Padres made Robin Yount and Dave Winfield the third and fourth picks of the 1973 draft. Since then, no other pair of Hall of Famers has been drafted with back-to-back picks.
The fourth round of the 1982 draft is the closest we've come to having a third set of Hall of Fame players taken with consecutive picks, though neither Randy Johnson (taken 89th overall by Atlanta) nor Will Clark (taken 90th by Kansas City) opted to sign with their drafting clubs that year. In 1986, Greg Swindell, Matt Williams, and Kevin Brown were drafted with the second through fourth picks, and the trio combined to be worth 108.2 WARP.
There are two answers to John's second question about late-round Hall of Fame picks. Baltimore selected Dave Winfield with the 882nd pick (40th round) of the 1969 draft, but Winfield declined to sign with the Orioles and went on to star at Minnesota before becoming the fourth-overall pick in 1973.
Among those who signed, Philadelphia's selection of Ryne Sandberg with its 20th-round pick (511th overall) represents the latest a future Hall of Famer has been taken in the draft. The brilliance of the Phillies' late-round astuteness was, of course, dulled when they packaged Sandberg with Larry Bowa to acquire Cubs shortstop Ivan DeJesus in January 1982.
In 118,203 regular-season games played between April 18, 1950 and April 17, 2012, the home team owns a .539 winning percentage. Nearly 91 percent of those games have been completed in nine innings or fewer, a scenario in which the home team has been victorious 54.1 percent of the time.
When a game has required extra frames, the home team has not fared quite as well, winning 3.01 percent less often than in games completed within regulation. Aside from spikes in the 14th and 16th innings, the home team's winning percentage declines steadily as extra innings accumulate.
Sam's question is inspired by Matt Cain's outing on April 13, when he allowed only one base runner, Pittsburgh starting pitcher James McDonald. McDonald's single to left field broke up Cain's perfect game with two outs in the top of the sixth inning, but Cain retired the next 10 batters in order, preserving the one-hitter and the win.
Before we talk about the answer to Sam's question, let's take a look at the man who spoiled Cain's run at perfection. Scouts were split on whether McDonald's future would be on the mound or in the outfield when he entered the draft out of high school in 2002. The Dodgers selected him in the 11th round that year, but he elected to attend junior college and increase his stock rather than sign right away. McDonald's performance at Golden West Junior College the following spring made it clear that he belonged on the mound, and Los Angeles got him under contract just days before he was scheduled to re-enter the draft.
It would be reasonable to assume that, given his athleticism and history as a two-way player, McDonald would be able to handle the bat reasonably well by pitcher standards. If that is your assumption, your assumption is very, very wrong.
Since 1936, 984 pitchers have made at least 100 plate appearances, and McDonald unquestionably ranks among the worst. Heading into his sixth-inning showdown with Cain, McDonald had reached base in only 10 percent of his career trips to the plate and had struck out in half of them.
James McDonald, Hitter
McDonald may have been one of the least-likely pitchers to break up a perfect game, but he wasn't the first to do so. The last occurance was on September 21, 1986, when San Diego's Jimmy Jones shut out the Houston Astros in his major-league debut. Jones gave up only one hit, a two-out triple to opposing pitcher Bob Knepper in the bottom of the third inning, while striking out five and walking none. Jones' game score of 90 is the fourth highest of all-time for a pitcher making his major-league debut. Though he would go on to make 117 starts over the next seven seasons, he never matched the brilliance of his debut.
Games in Which a Pitcher Represented His Team's Only Base Runner
There is one peculiar detail about Cain's game that bears mentioning: he wasn't the first pitcher to lose a no-hitter or perfect game when the opposing pitcher reached base, but he was the first to surrender that base runner with two outs in the sixth inning. In each of the preceding four occurrences, the pitcher's quest for perfection was dashed with two outs in the bottom of the third inning. Each and every time. I suppose that's not as strange as it appears on the surface—if a pitcher is cruising through the lineup at the start of the game, his opponent's ninth-place hitter is likely to first appear with two outs in the bottom of the third. But, still. Baseball!

Given that the pitcher bats ninth and a perfect game is still intact, the only possibilities for the pitcher breaking up a perfect game are 2 outs in the 3rd, 2 outs in the 6th, or 2 outs in the 9th.
Apr 19, 2012 09:39 AM
Ryne Sandberg will soon have to kiss that distinction goodbye: "After his father asked Lasorda to select Piazza as a favor, the Miami-Dade Community College student was drafted by the Dodgers in the 62nd round of the 1988 Major League Baseball Amateur Draft as the 1,390th player picked overall in the draft."
Apr 19, 2012 10:34 AM
Good point. I'm incredulous that the same writers who at the time had to have a pretty good idea this was going on (or at least very likely) voted for all these guys for Cy Young and MVP year after year. But now that it's public they're so holier than thou about it.
Apr 19, 2012 11:50 AM
Funny that McDonald is such a poor hitter--in his first at bat last Friday, he drove the ball deep for a warning track out. So when he got the bloop hit to ruin Cain's perfect it game it didn't surprise me or the people I was with at the game all that much--we thought he must be an exceptionally good hitting pitcher.

"There's just an inherit risk in feeding your children raw milk that you can't ― you can't ― ignore."
That's what one mother told Oregon Public Broadcasting this week.
Jill, who asked not to be identified on-air, described the ordeal that her two-year-old daughter has had to endure since becoming sick from raw milk.
"She had strokes early on and pressure in the brain, and most recently had emergency surgery to remove some dead bowel and colon. And now has an ostomy, that will get reversed in six to eight weeks," Jill told OPB News. Click here to download and listen to the the full show, which also featured interviews with a local raw milk producer and health officials.
Raw milk producers and advocates argue that the benefits of drinking raw milk outweigh the risks and that the outbreak in Oregon (involving others besides Jill's daughter) is an anomaly.
For Jill, who will be celebrating Mother's Day beside her daughter's hospital bed, the risks outweigh the benefits.
"No matter how good of a farmer and how good of a dairy operation you think they have, there's always a slim chance that there's going to be bacteria in that [raw] milk. The only way to make sure there's not that chance is by pasteurization. And there's going to be more outbreaks," she said in the interview. "To watch my daughter struggle for her life for 28 days so far, it's not worth it."
A similar outbreak in Missouri has also been linked to raw milk, and like Jill's daughter, three children were hospitalized after developing symptoms hemolytic uremic syndrome, a complication of E. coli infection that leads to kidney failure.
One veteran dairy farmer from central Missouri voiced his concern for the outbreaks linked to raw milk and how raw milk problems could be linked to his pasteurized products, giving all dairy products a bad reputation.
Earlier this year a campylobacteriosis outbreak sickened more than 78 people, including a three-year old, across four states. The outbreak was linked to raw milk sold from a farm near Chambersburg, Pa.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported that between 1998 and 2009 it found about 1800 illness related to raw milk. Of those illnesses, 200 required hospitalization and two were fatal. A report released by the CDC in February showed that the rate of outbreaks caused by raw milk was 150 times greater than outbreaks linked to pasteurized milk.

The Planning Calendar is a tool that enables event planners to coordinate across campus. It allows you to see what other departments are planning for future dates and share information about your own event plans.
To view the Planning Calendar, log in to the calendar system and click on the "Planning Calendar" tab. The Planning Calendar is visible only to other event planners on campus—those who have been granted access to publish to the Events Calendar through an event sponsor group. It is not visible to the public. Here, you can filter events by date and event status.
A planning event is information that is not necessarily complete or suitable for publication to the public calendar, but is of use to other event planners.
For example, if you are planning a large conference that will happen next year, you probably don't yet have all the details confirmed to publish it publicly. However, you can put the event on the Planning Calendar. This will indicate to other event planners that you're planning a major event that will fill up the majority of hotel rooms in town. Anyone else planning an event that will draw out-of-town guests may then choose a more suitable date.
To put an event on the planning calendar, enter it as you would any other event and check the "Planning Calendar?" checkbox at the top of the event form. Planning Calendar events can be edited, deleted, or published to the public calendar at any time.

The University of Colorado Boulder diverted 2,458 tons, or nearly 44 percent, of waste from landfills during the 2012-13 school year -- its highest rate ever.
The savings -- reached through recycling, composting and reusing materials -- are equivalent to removing the emissions of 1,370 passenger cars over one year, conserving 12,276 barrels of oil, or eliminating the annual carbon emissions of 634 households.
It also marks the height of a 10-year increase in waste diversion even while the campus's square footage grew by 25 percent during the same period.
"Without buy-in from students, faculty, staff, visitors and vendors who care about the environment, we wouldn't be celebrating this success," said Jack DeBell, CU-Boulder recycling development director. "When it comes right down to it, it's all about the CU-Boulder community -- person by person and pound by pound -- pitching in to reduce waste, lower costs and provide a positive impact."
Improvements such as pairing all outdoor trash bins with recycling bins helped result in a 140-ton increase in dump diversion in 2013 from the previous year. Compost bins for paper towels also have been placed in many of the restrooms across campus.
About 50 students are employed by CU-Boulder's recycling program each semester. The program -- started by students in 1976 -- collects, sorts, upgrades and consolidates recyclables including difficult-to-process materials like plastic films, Styrofoam, disks, shredded paper and textbooks. It also facilitates a number of zero-waste events on campus from football and basketball games to the annual Global Jam, which is a trashcan-free international picnic to welcome about 6,000 new students to campus.
The recycling processing center, currently housed north of Folsom Field, will temporarily be located in a parking lot southeast of the Coors Events Center this summer. Groundbreaking for a new recycling processing center is slated for July.
The campus has a goal of reaching a 90 percent landfill diversion rate by 2020.
"Doubling CU-Boulder's current efforts is operationally feasible and will require bold initiatives from the institutional level to the individual," said DeBell.
CU-Boulder's recycling program operates as a partnership of the CU Environmental Center, Facilities Management and Housing and Dining Services.

An artificial football pitch has been opened in the city of Jurmala by the Latvian Football Federation (LFF) thanks to funding from the second cycle of UEFA's HatTrick assistance programme.
The pitch at the Kauguri high school was donated by the LFF as a gift to the city of Jurmala and is the first full-sized artificial football field to be built in Latvia. Earlier this year the implementation of HatTrick-funded projects resulted in the signature of contracts with the cities of Daugavpils, Rezekne, Preili, Zilupe, Ogre and Riga for the installation of artificial pitches. In total, the LFF plans to build about 17 large-size artificial pitches throughout the country in 2011.
UEFA HatTrick funding previously helped the LFF with the construction of a training centre in Riga for national youth teams. Including two floodlit artificial training surfaces, the complex also provided facilities for coaches and referees.
Since the HatTrick scheme was launched in 2003, it has bolstered Europe's national associations in their efforts to improve and upgrade their infrastructural, administrative, managerial and sporting environments.
The second cycle of the programme, running from 2008 to 2012, has had a budget of almost €450m, with each national FA entitled to a maximum €1.3m a year in solidarity payments – €500,000 to cover running costs with a further €800,000 available for UEFA development and incentive projects. Associations may also receive grants of up to €2.5m from the single investment programme.

We're always looking for signs the U.S. economy might be improving, so why not check in with the tooth fairy? Conventional wisdom might conclude if the tooth fairy starts leaving more money for lost baby teeth, the economy should be doing better.19140070
Delta Dental is out with its annual Tooth Fairy Poll, and it showed the average amount left under children's pillow was up to $2.42 in 2012, up 15% from 2011.
READ: Paula Tutman's Children's Tooth Fairy Foundation to celebrate new win at University of Detroit-Mercy
"I'm happy to say that the Tooth Fairy delivered encouraging news about country's economic recovery in 2012," said Bill Hupp, a spokesperson for Delta Dental Plans Association.
And, there might be something to the that theory. The tooth fairy index has correlated with the S&P 500 in nine of the past ten years.

The most common amount children receive under their pillow is $1. Children losing teeth for the first time usually receive $3.49 on average, and 22%of children receive the jackpot of $5 for each tooth.

TIME: 8pm Fri-Sat, 2pm Sun
Preshow dinner on Friday, Feb. 22 at 6:30 p.m.!
It's an average day in the life of Charlie Brown, all mixed in with the lives of his friends (both human and non-human) and strung together on the string of a single day, from bright uncertain morning to hopeful starlit evening. It seems to start off all right. Charlie is then left to his own musings as he eats his lunch on the school playground, complicated unbearably by the distant presence of his true love, the "little redheaded girl," who is always just out of sight.
True love also seems to be the only unmanageable element in Lucy's solid life, which we discover as we watch her try to bulldoze her way through to her boyfriend Shroeder's sensitive, six-year-old musician's heart. Meanwhile Snoopy and Linus daydream and the rest of the friends battle with kites, school, baseball and misunderstandings.
And then it is evening. The gathered friends end the day, realizing what makes them truly happy and leaving Lucy to make a very un-Lucy-like gesture: she tells Charlie Brown what a good man he is.

Hey guys this is my first post on this sweet forum!
I started playing disc golf last year and have been lovin it ever since. I try and play everyday and have seen myself improve a ton over the last couple months.
That being said I am still only a good beginner. Right now I primarily throw backhand on my drives and have been trying to work on my sidearm.
I have been throwing a teebird, orc, and valk with good success on my backhand. These all seem to be slightly "understable" discs. I can get a good s-curve throwing with an "anhyzer" style throw and a nice line when trying to throw them straight.
I have good power with my drives now and soon might be able to move up to a "faster" disc. The faster speed discs I have been looking at are the teerex, wraith, and surge and have been wondering which of these fast speed discs would best fit by backhand throwing style.
It seems to me that a more "overstable" disc better fits a sidearm throw and a more "understable" disc favors a backhand throw. This might not be the case and quite frankly the terminology is really getting confusing in my head. I was hoping you guys could give me some good advice as to some backhand drivers that I should check out and also some good sidearm drivers for me to practice my technique with.
It seems to me like a lot of discs are classified as "good sidearm discs" however little is written about good backhand discs. Is this because a sidearm drive is superior or just because most discs can be thrown backhand reguardless?
Sorry if my questions have been written poorly but I am new to writing about disc golf. Any responces would be more than appreciated and I thank you for your time.
(I throw a kc roc and pro shark on most close approaches with a kc aviar putter... still looking for that perfect putter. I would like to pick up a wizard)
