Thread: Backhand Usage
Backhand Usage
A lot of threads pop up about how to do a backhand smash, clear or whatnot. And on each of these threads someone is there to say that a backhand should by no means be the first priotirty when going for those kinds of shots - rather, if possible, an around the head shot should be played.
Now, in the past while I have been working on my backhand; my backhand clears can go from baseline to baseline and my backhand smash is decent (by no means a finisher, but pretty good angle and speed) and same with my backhand drop.
I was playing with a buddy yesterday, and I noticed that he played a lot to my backhand side (maybe becuase he was left handed? I am not sure). And I found that either my footwork was lacking or something else, but I was not able to get into position for an around the head shot on most of his drives - I found myself repeatedly turned around doing backhand lifts/drives or something of that nature.
I was wondering if it is even possible to be able to get into position for an around the head shot on an offensive clear, and if so, how to train for it and the footwork for it.
NOTE: I do not do the split drop subconsciously during games, an aspect which I am working on.
as much as everyone says dont use backhand unless you absolutely have to....the higher level you proceed with badminton the faster the game picks up. In most cases it is very difficult to get a good consistant round the head stroke going everytime the shuttle goes that way.
Strengthen your backhand and use it regularly and when the opportunity arises use good footwork to get into position early for a round the head shot or jump smash to surprise your opponent.
But in all honesty use your backhand lots its more comfortable and u use less energy than forcing the awkward footwork you would use in a round the head stroke.
In singles, where the players are handed differently then there would be less opportunity to exploit the backhand rear corners due to the fact that all straight shots will be handed the same. If you are comfortable in clearing and cross dropping from your backhand then dont be afraid to use it, and show your opponent that you're capable, he will then find it harder to anticipate forward to the net. If you clear straight then you;re hitting to his backhand corner which should give you a better chance to recover your position. If he then does "round the head forehand" you'll be able to exploit his forehand net area.
You must improve your split drop/pretension jump which will speed up your direction change and help to arrive earlier giving you more options such as "round the head", and still be able to recover back to base without spending too much energy.
You need to be able to hit the "late" backhand clear. No matter how good your footwork, you are occasionally going to be forced to hit a defensive shot after the shuttle has already gone past you.
However, if you have the opportunity to take the shuttle early and high on the backhand side (if a backhand smash is an option, for example), then you should always try to play a round-the-head shot - it will be more accurate and much more powerful.
Also, because there is the possibility of you hitting the more powerful round-the-head smash, your opponent has to respect that - meaning you can be more deceptive.
i used to be a frequent backhand user too till i injured my wrist with those killing backhand smashes . Now i try to use less wrist and i have to do the overhead if i dont want it to hurt anymore . You can pretend your backhand is injured and use only forehand to practice . Dont care if it is weak or someting like that just practice and youll get it right.
I use backhands when playing with lesser opponents or practising, because in games, no matter how good your footwork is, you'll face situations in which a backhand is necessary. (disguised flick or flat push...); but when you gear up in footwork, backhand is used less and less.
although backhand smash can caught the opponent by surprise, it is around the head jump smash(or punch clear) that stops them from pushing to your backhand corner.

My Morning Jacket Tickets and Concert Dates
Short Biography
Not quite country, not quite rock--My Morning Jacket's music is undeniably haunting and emotionally charged. At its center is the heartrending, highly affecting voice of singer/songwriter Jim James. Hailing from Louisville, KY, My Morning Jacket first made a name for themselves with the release of their debut album, The Tennessee Fire, in 1999. A follow-up, At Dawn, was released in 2001, which helped win the band a devoted following in both the U.S. and Europe with its charming blend of rock, country and blues. The wide-ranging It Still Moves appeared in 2003, taking the band into new melodic, pop-oriented territory on tracks such as "Golden" and "Mahgeetah." The band released their fourth album, Z, in 2005, a further refinement of the group's immense songwriting skills and unique brand of Americana music.

In-depth Biography
Although they first presented themselves as devotees of Neil Young's country-tinged classic rock, My Morning Jacket widened their sound throughout the early 2000s, embracing everything from neo-psychedelia to Americana, funk, prog, and reggae. By the time Evil Urges arrived in mid-2008, they had successfully molded themselves into Kentucky's answer to Wilco: a band rooted in alt-country and rock & roll, but given to sonic experimentation and unexpected genre changes at every turn.
My Morning Jacket's de facto leader is vocalist/guitarist Jim James (birth name: James Olliges; occasional pseudonym: Yim Yames), who founded the band in 1998 alongside his cousin Johnny Quaid (guitar), Tom Blankenship (bass), and J. Glenn (drums). Headquartered in James' hometown of Louisville, Kentucky, the group released its debut on Darla Records in 1999, with keyboardist Danny Cash joining the lineup one year later. Although The Tennessee Fire was only modestly popular in the U.S., it became a genuine hit overseas, particularly in the Netherlands. My Morning Jacket responded by launching a tour in Europe, where they were featured in a Dutch documentary film and received accolades from the Dutch music press. A Christmas EP was released in 2000, but it was My Morning Jacket's follow-up effort -- 2001's At Dawn -- that helped expand their audience at home. Jim James recorded his vocals in a grain silo, and the resulting reverb-heavy sound became a hallmark of the band's early work. After the album's stateside release, James' best friend from childhood, Patrick Hallahan, was recruited as the band's new drummer.
My Morning Jacket maintained a grueling schedule throughout the early 2000s, hitting the road with such acts as Guided by Voices, the Doves, and the Foo Fighters. They also made the jump to a major label (RCA/ATO Records) for the 2003 release of It Still Moves, but the frantic pace had already taken an irreparable toll on Quaid and Cash. Tired and burned out, the members announced their departure in January 2004. Keyboardist Bo Koster and guitarist Carl Broemel joined in their place, and the group continued to tour as a unified five-piece. My Morning Jacket's energy remained, but their sound took an experimental turn on 2005's Z. Produced by John Leckie, the album did away with the heavy reverb that blanketed the band's earlier efforts, while the addition of synthesizers and reggae textures introduced audiences to My Morning Jacket's experimental side. Tracks from Z also appeared on Okonokos, a live album released in 2006, and the band's experimentation continued with Evil Urges.
Arriving in June 2008, Evil Urges showcased James' expanding vocal range, his bandmates' fascination with Prince, and My Morning Jacket's eagerness to challenge the boundaries of alternative country-rock. After touring in support of the album, the bandmates spent several years pursuing their own projects, with Jim James joining the indie supergroup Monsters of Folk and Carl Broemel releasing a solo album. They reconvened for 2011's Circuital, recording the album in a local church's gymnasium and revisiting the quirky, eclectic sound that fueled their two previous albums. ~ Andrew Leahey, Rovi

Flower Power
Greetings. I always wondered why the "internet" smelled like a big ol' field of wild flowers ...
Now, I see, it's because of you.
I am very impressed with your unique and massive contributions to find a grave.
You left flowers, well, a flag, actually, some time back, at the memorial of Private Benjamin Cook, laid to rest in Freedmen's Cemetery, in Alexandria, Virginia.
In working on a book about the 28th Infantry Regiment, USCT, I had the chance to learn a lot about this man. I've updated his memorial, if you'd like to check back in on him and learan a little about him ... and who knows, maybe leave a flower ... just a suggestion ... :-)

Ella Crawford Watts, Fields Cemetery, Porum OK
I noticed you left flowers on this site for Ella Watts in Fields Cemetery, Porum. Are you connected to her? If so, we would love to get some information on where she is buried and other genealogy info. She was my husband's great grandmother. Her daughter Minnie Watts married Thomas J. Lietch in Stigler, OK and later moved their family to Fremont California (in 1944). We were just in Porum from Tacoma WA and looked everywhere for her headstone, marker; also went to two area funeral homes trying to get records of her buriel in 1917. Do you have any information?

I've used a set of these nutdrivers for quite a while, and find them very useful for projects and repairs around the house. My 20 year old son is starting to build his collection of tools, so I bought this set for his birthday. I'm sure he will find them just as useful as I have.

I have used these nut drivers for years. When my adult daughter bought a small home we purchased a set for her. The next day we were working on things around the house and these versatile nut drivers were our primary tool that we used. They are very helpful for repairing lawn mowers, assembling furniture, electrical work, bicycle adjustments, ... if you do not have them available for a job, you wish you had them!

The drivers were fine, I just wish they had come in a hard plastic case with slots for each nut driver. The case that came with the drivers is a soft case like a CD case with elastic for each driver and it is a bit awkward to get the drivers back in the case. I'm not reall complaining. At least I got a case.

(8 Days - Departs Daily on a Private Basis)
Palermo & Monreale, Segesta, Agrigento, Taormina, Syracuse, Mount Etna
This private tour of Sicily features the most interesting gardens and cultural highlights of this fascinating Mediterranean island. Learn how Sicily's unique climate, soil and history have shaped its beautiful landscapes while touring top private and public gardens, as well as olive orchards, citrus groves, farms, vineyards and the volcanic slopes of Mount Etna.
Begin in Palermo. One of Italy's great art and culinary cities, Palermo also has abundant gardens and green spaces. During private touring in the historic center of the city, see the Palermo Botanical Garden (Orto Botanico Palermo), one of the oldest and most important plant research gardens and facilities in the Mediterranean region. Also venture outside the city to visit a villa garden that showcases Mediterranean plants, fruit trees and succulents. One afternoon, enjoy a private tour of the stunning Cathedral of Monreale, which is filled with glittering mosaic masterpieces. Also see the cathedral's ornate cloister and small garden. Another day, enjoy a private excursion into the surrounding countryside. Tour the ruins of Segesta, which include a well-preserved Doric temple and an ancient hillside amphitheater with panoramic views over the rolling hills of the bucolic countryside. Also visit an olive oil estate to walk through the olive orchards, learn about olive oil production, sample different styles of olive oil, and dine in the estate garden.
Next, take a private excursion to Agrigento and the Valley of the Temples. The outstanding remains of this once powerful Greek city make it one of the most significant archaeological sites in Sicily. Also walk through Kolymbetra Garden, an enchanting valley amid the temples that's filled with aromatic Mediterranean shrubs, almond trees, olive orchards and citrus groves.
Continue to Taormina, a historic seaside town. En route, tour a renowned private garden with the owner, a botany specialist who transformed the grounds of an ancient feudal estate into a fragrant Mediterranean eden of succulents, roses, jasmine, citrus and palms. Also tour Syracuse, one of the most powerful cities of the ancient world, to see cultural highlights such as the Greek theater, Roman amphitheater, Ear of Dionysius, and the historic center of Ortygia. One day, explore Taormina's Greek theater and beautiful Public Garden, a hillside paradise of exotic plants, lava-rock follies and promenades with views. During leisure time, perhaps browse local shops or relax at your hotel, which has spectacular views of the Bay of Naxos and Mount Etna from its terraces and lush private gardens. Another day, enjoy a private excursion to Mount Etna, an active volcano and Sicily landmark whose slopes thrive with gardens, vineyards and farms. Tour a private garden where the rich volcanic soil and traditional irrigation system support a vibrant mix of native and exotic plants, local flowers, Mediterranean shrubs, and fruit and nut trees. Sample wines made from unique grapes grown on Mount Etna, and enjoy a lunch that incorporates the best of Sicily's fresh food products.
This tour can easily be customized with additional destinations in Sicily or mainland Italy.

FDA Orders Safety Studies for Metal-on-Metal Hip Replacements |
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued 145 orders for postmarketing surveillance studies to 21 manufacturers of metal-on-metal (MoM) hip replacement systems. The FDA is authorized to require a manufacturer to conduct postmarketing surveillance of a device if its failure would be reasonably likely to have serious adverse health consequences, it is expected to have significant use in pediatric populations, it is intended to be implanted in the body for more than 1 year, or it is intended to be a life-sustaining or life-supporting device used outside a device user facility. In this case, the FDA states that they are concerned about potential problems with the device, including loosening, adverse local tissue reactions, and increased metal ion concentrations in the blood. The manufacturers will be required to submit a research protocol to the FDA that addresses specific safety issues related to these devices. Data in the published literature, along with reports submitted to the FDA, indicate high blood ion concentrations of the metals used in the device; it is currently unclear whether this could lead to adverse events such as increased pain or need for revision. At this time, there are not enough data available to conclusively link increased metal ion concentrations of cobalt and chromium to rates of adverse events associated with MoM hip replacement systems, the FDA notes. The manufacturers must submit a plan to conduct market surveillance within 30 days of the order, and the research protocol must address safety issues related to these devices. Specific questions to be addressed include:
The FDA encourages patients who have received these devices to contact their orthopaedic surgeon immediately if they develop new or experience a significant worsening of symptoms or problems 3 or more months after their MoM system was implanted. The FDA also urges patients with MoM hip replacement systems to participate in these studies if contacted by MoM sponsors or their clinician. More information about postmarket surveillance studies also available on theFDA Web site. Roxanne Nelson Medscape Medical News © 2011 WebMD, LLC |

Cars Kill Cities
Reblogged from Progressive Transit:
OK, I'm finally getting a chance to make another post. I have temporarily relocated to Mountain View, CA and have been up to my eyeballs in work, both 'real' work and research work. It's nice to get back to this blog.
Cars do not belong in cities. A standard American sedan can comfortably hold 4+ adults w/ luggage, can travel in excess of 100 miles per hour, and can travel 300+ miles at a time without stopping to refuel.

GTD will always be the brightest star in my task-management firmament. Pre-GTD I made occasional to-do lists and got frustrated with seeing them carried forward day after day.
GTD taught me to get my commitments in their totality out of my head and into a system external to my mind.
GTDs bottom-up strategy worked for me. All the previous top-down methods I had tried failed me.
But now that I have been GTDing for a few years I am a different person. As David Allen has said, I can now do the top-down thinking that eluded me when I couldnt ever clear my runway.
And now that I have been GTDing for a few years I have been finding that my lists are large and often contain items that languish for more than a year. Then, a couple of months ago, I read the following post:
This post by w_i_t_n_a took my breath away. It represented a fundamental change to the GTD method. The method had been to keep those lists no matter what. If they were huge it was because I had committed myself to a huge amount of tasks. Someday/maybe represented those tasks to which I had not yet committed myself. The description someday/maybe was slightly deceptive. In effect, all NAs were somedays. Life is fast-paced and unpredictable. The reason I kept NA lists and did not schedule my tasks on the calendar was because my time commitments were in a state of constant flux. So, NAs did not have times associated with them. The key thing was that I had decided to do them sometime, someday.Here are a couple of tips that were given to me by Meg Edwards during some tele coaching.
Projects lists should only contain those things that you need to deliever on in the next 9 months.
Deliverables beyond that belong on your 'Someday / Maybe' list and can be turned into Projects when they fall into the 9 month window.
If you make sure you include a review of your Someday / Maybes in your weekly review you wont miss the projects and you can get them off your mind.
Next Actions Lists should only contain NA's that you plan to complete in the next 2-3 weeks. Other actions that I think of during my weekly review are written and stored with Project Support Material and I can turn them into NA's when I need to.
These two simple things have helped keep my NA's and Project lists under control
Maybes were just that: items to which I might commit myself but to which I was not committed now. They were items about which I was agnostic: maybe Ill do them and maybe I wont. I kept my maybes on the list as a reminder to decide later whether to add them to my list of NAs or to delete them.
So, NAs were items I had decided to do at sometime, someday. Maybes were items that I had not decided about.
I, like many GTDers, felt a gnawing sense of lack. I, like many GTDers, made some adjustments. My decision was to create a weekly goals list. I would select some projects and NAs from my lists and put them at the top of my calendar for the week. These were goals that I hoped to accomplish that week. I didnt always complete the goals on my weekly goals list. But it did help me stay more focused. I still reviewed my NA list frequently throughout the week. But I didnt spend as much time going through it trying to figure out which NA to work on next. I looked to my weekly goals list for that.
Then I read the post by w_i_t_n_a. This represented a conceptual shift. NAs were no longer atemporal. A new dimension has been added to my NA list: time.
In GTD 1.0, the trusted systems list was three-dimensional: there was a description of the action, a context for the action, and commitment level for the action. Note well, there was no timeframe attached to the action. Time was a dimension restricted to the calendar, the hard landscape (where the spatial metaphor of landscape is used to capture the temporality of actions).
In GTD 1.0 actions to which I had committed myself went in the list as NAs. And actions and projects to which I had not committed myself went in the list as someday/maybes.
In GTD 2.0 as presented to us by w_i_t_n_a, the trusted systems list is four-dimensional. There are the three dimension of GTD 1.0action, context, and commitmentand the fourth dimension of time. In GTD 2.0, actions to be taken in the next 3 weeks go in the NA list and those to be worked on later in time will go on the someday/maybe list.
The problem with this is that the someday/maybe list is now confused. It segregates items both by temporality and by commitment. The solution is to break apart someday from maybe. Maybe represents absence of commitment. Put the items that still require a commitment decision in the maybes. Someday represents time. Put the items that will be done some time later than 3 weeks in the somedays.
For many GTDers, the recommendations given above will be enough. But I do have a suggestion for those of us who use digital systems for our GTD lists. Most of us are using systems that have a priority field. Now, before anyone proposes to ban me from the board, please understand, I am not suggesting that we give our tasks priorities. I am suggesting that we use the priority field in, for example Outlook, to capture the temporal element of our actions.
The digital system I use allows A, B, C, and D priorities. So, I use A for this week. B is for the next 3 weeks. C is for the next 3 months. And D is beyond 3 months. If you only had 3 values, you could follow have 1 week, 3 weeks, and more than 3 weeks (or some other configuration more congruent with your life situation).
Again, A items are not higher priority items than C items. Rather, I designate with A those items I aim to work on this week and I designate with C those items I will only work on after I have completed the As and Bs.
The last point I would like to bring up for consideration is the degree to which GTD 2.0 revolutionizes GTD 1.0
I had always found there to be a disconnect between the temporal basis of the altitude goals (50,000 feet, 40,000 feet, etc.) and the timelessness of the project and action lists. 30,000 feet are 1-2 year goals. 40,000 feet are 3-5 year goals. 50,000 feet are life goals. These are time-defined. If the higher level outcomes are time-defined, why not add the temporal dimension to the runway and project-level outcomes?
In the GTD book, David does present a kind of argument against defining actions/projects temporally. He states that the world changes and we need to be flexible and resilient. This is true. But he does suggest we commit ourselves to outcomes two years, five years, and many years in the future. The unpredictability of the world increases exponentially as we move farther into the future. If we can define outcomes temporally five years hence, we could do so five days hence.
One could retort that there is actually much more volatility in most of our lives in the short-term than there is in the long-term. Furthermore, there is great uncertainty regarding the actual duration required to complete any given action. So, it is inefficient to microplan when we are going to do every little action because all it takes is one phone call, one crashing of the server, one ill key employee and the whole schedule needs to be rewritten.
I think that the points made in the previous paragraph are good ones. That is why Meg Edwards advised w_i_t_n_a to schedule her actions not with great specificity but with great latitude. Meg Edwards did not tell her to schedule action X for day Y at hour Z. Rather she is to schedule action X to be done either in week A or week B or week C.
In conclusion, GTD 1.0 advised us to put time-specific actions on the calendar and to keep our other actions and projects on atemporal lists. GTD 2.0 advises us to put on the calendar actions that are highly time-specific. And the other actions and projects that are less time-specific will have their soft times loosely specified on the actions and projects lists.
I have found GTD 2.0 to be an improvement over GTD 1.0. I have found that the GTD 2.0 system, going from 50,000 feet to the runway, is better integrated and more consistent than the GTD 1.0 which specified time at some levels but not at others. And lastly, I have found it useful to use the priority field of my digital expression of my GTD system to represent the temporal dimension of my actions and projects.

I'm so out of the loop. So these keys have similar implications as the 3.55 keys which released last year?
Ability to play new games?
i've noticed asura's wrath update has 3.6 keys.. i've downloaded, extracted files from pkg, replaced unself with the one for npdrm but i can't decrypt it.. it says self_decrypt_header failed.. can anyone help?
xxl2damax, for me it decrypted just fine. Are you sure you're using correct 3.60 npdrm key?
Try this scetool: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?6a98des9dumd00b
Also I encrypted the eboot with 3.55 keys but I'm not sure I did it correctly:
Lol, awesome. Guess there is some infighting amongst the more shadowy part of the scene.
One of the zip files linked in the original post only contains 3.60 app keys and not iso, lv1, lv2, etc.
Also, it's worth noting that there were new keys introduced in 3.65, 3.70, 4.00 and 4.20, so while the release of 3.60 keys are cool, don't expect it to make all games playable.

I created a folder with all the lv1 and 2 etc in it.
Yeah, I downloaded yours, but it doesn't have iso, lv1, lv2, etc for 3.60.
why do i keep getting make_self_npdrm.exe has stopped working problem...! i just wanna fix NHL12 & Fifa12

Thread: Determining string tension
Determining string tension
Is there any easy way to objectively determine string tension? It doesn't need to be accurate. I'm just curious about what the tension on my racquet is... but not curious enough to buy a $30 CAD tension meter
Don't say feel it by using the racquet because i have no reference racquet to compare with.
I heard someone mention something about dropping weights from the string bed? I'm not sure if that actually works, and it probably loosens the string in the process too. So how do people determine their string tension... or do they not care and just play until the power is gone..Last edited by bigredlemon; 12-06-2002 at 05:20 PM.
i think that its hard to correctly gauge your tension without the meter but just put your hands on the frame and push in. if it pushes inward a lot like those Yonex Factory strings, then its really low.. and so forth
but like i said its hard to correctly gauge. plus there is a strength difference from say.. you and me.
strings emit sounds of different frequencies when struck. Shouldn't it be possible to map certain string tensions to frequencies? It should be possible to make a small table with this info.. or a webpage with a couple of samples to compare with.

The problem here is that you would still need to know the tension to associate a frequency to it...Last edited by bigredlemon; 12-08-2002 at 09:06 PM.
I always use the tune of the racket to determine string tension. But you have to have the same kind of string to do it. I have an unplayable Boron-2 as a reference. The longer you use the same string the lower the tune gets. The first time I play with a newstrung racket, it drops something like 5-10% in tension (I guess).
You could use a piano or anything as a reference... not very scientific, but it works for my needs. You should not take the piano with you where you play.
