Ex-Canucks prospect Connauton embraces chance to start afresh as star in Texas

Brad Ziemer, Vancouver Sun

VANCOUVER — It seems Vancouver Canucks general manager Mike Gillis is not the only guy reaching for the reset button.

Former Canucks prospect Kevin Connauton has already pressed his.

Initially shocked by the trade early last month that sent him to the Dallas Stars as part of the deal that brought Derek Roy to Vancouver, Connauton now thinks it may have been the best thing that has happened to him in his pro hockey career.

“Coming here was really a positive thing, it was a fresh start,” Connauton, now playing in the American Hockey League playoffs for the Texas Stars, said Tuesday. “I was able to hit the reset button and it’s been nothing but positives since I got here.”

Connauton’s improved play with the Stars is not making that Roy trade look any better for the Canucks, who also sent a second-round pick to Dallas.

The 23-year-old defenceman finished the regular season with Texas, accumulating two goals and six points in nine games. And he leads the Stars with five points in seven playoff games. Texas trails its best-of-seven, second-round series with the Oklahoma City Barons 2-1.

“Definitely at the time I was shocked, I didn’t think I was going to get traded,” Connauton said. “But at the end of the day I think it was best for me. I’m happy to be here now, down in Texas. I think the opportunities are a lot greater here. I’ve got a better chance of advancing my career in this organization, I think.

“With everything that has been going on, it’s got that rebuild mentality and I think it’s exciting to be a part of something like that ... With the Canucks, there wasn’t a lot of space for guys. They have a lot of guys signed to long-term contracts and they have a lot of good defencemen in that system, so for me it really wasn’t working out the way I would have liked it to.”

Connauton, who was drafted in the third round by the Canucks in 2009, acknowledged that his progress was hurt by being labelled an offensive defenceman who needed to work on the defensive side of his game. Connauton, who had 72 points in his one season with the WHL’s Vancouver Giants, worried so much about shaking that label that he got away from the real strengths of his game.

“Ever since I got drafted people would be talking about me being a defensive liability, an offensive D-man and it’s frustrating to hear that,” he said. “If you have enough people saying that sometimes you start believing it yourself which is never good. At the beginning of this season I was so frustrated with trying to shake that label, I got away from playing my game and I had a bit of a slow start. It was around Christmas when I was able to get things back on track and start playing to my strengths and that is what I have to continue to do.

“I have worked the last three years to round out my game. I know I have been improving. I have heard that from my coaches. That’s the biggest thing for me. It was just something I could never shake when I was in Chicago and in the Canucks’ organization.”

FAMILIAR NAME: There is a Canuck connection to Connauton’s new defensive partner in Texas. He has been playing with Cameron Gaunce, who was traded to Dallas from the Colorado Avalanche at the trade deadline and is the older brother of 2012 Canuck first-round pick Brendan Gaunce.

“We both got here on the deadline,” Connauton said. “I didn’t put two and two together when I first met him, but then he told me. It’s kind of a small world how that works.”

EUROPEAN VACATION: This is the fifth time Dan Hamhuis has played at the world championship for Canada and before leaving for Europe the Canuck defenceman said it never gets old.

“It’s neat to travel to Europe and that and I love playing for Canada,” he said. “It truly is an honour to wear that jersey and play. Hockey Canada treats us so well over there, too. Our families come over so it’s neat to share with the families. And then there’s camaraderie with the players you meet over there. It has been a great experience in those (previous) four years that I did play. I made a lot of friends that I still keep in touch with.”

STRONG START: Hamhuis and his Canadian teammates had the day off Tuesday, but the other four Canucks playing at the worlds were in action when Sweden beat Denmark 4-2 on the final day of round-robin competition.

Daniel and Henrik Sedin each had a goal and an assist for Sweden and played on a line with Dallas winger Loui Eriksson. Vancouver defenceman Alex Edler had an assist on Sweden’s fourth goal.

Sweden meets Canada in the quarter-finals on Thursday.

The tournament ended Tuesday for Canuck prospect Nicklas Jensen, who had two goals and no assists in the three games he played for Denmark.

ROCKY MOUNTAIN LOW: Former Canuck goalie Kirk McLean is the latest victim of the housecleaning going on with the Colorado Avalanche. McLean was let go Tuesday as goalie coach of the Avs, a position he had held since 2010.

Rye Pancakes

What you need:

1/2 Cup rye flour
1/4 Cup unbleached all-purpose
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon carraway seeds
1/4 teaspoon salt
1-1/4 Cup water (+ up to 1/2 cup)

What you do:

In a small bowl, combine dry ingredients and mix 1-1/4 Cups water. Let the batter stand for a few minutes. Spray a bit of non-stick cooking spray in a large non-sick skillet and rub it around with your fingers to distribute evenly over the pan surface. Heat the skillet over medium flame. Stir the batter again, it will have a course texture from the rye flour but should pour from a spoon rather easily, like a medium-thick pancake batter. If the batter is too thick, add more water, a Tbsp or two at a time until it is thin enough.
To make each pancake, spoon 2 or 3 Tbsp of batter into the pan. You should be able to fit three or four cakes in the pan at a time. As the cakes cook, bubbles will rise to the surface. When the tops of the cakes are full of bubles and have begun to set, flip the cakes, cover the pan, and cook for 4 to 5 more minutes, until the cakes are dry inside. Remove cakes to a plate and repeat with remaining batter.

Vaughters calls for ‘unending’ anti-doping efforts as he admits using banned substances in the past

Categories: Pro Cycling, Doping
Former US Postal Service rider opens up about career

Jonathan VaughtersAfter years of hinting it was the case, former US Postal Service rider Jonathan Vaughters has admitted to doping during his career, saying that he was speaking about the topic now because it was important to keep the pressure on to clean up sport.

The 39 year old American wrote about the subject in the New York Times and said that while he believed the riders of the modern era don't have the same pressures as doping is less prevalent, that it was important to learn from the past.

Vaughters referred to his time growing up in Denver, Colorado, training hard and travelling long distances to racing in order to chase an ambition of riding the Tour de France. He wrote about becoming older and stronger, then reaching a point when a difficult decision had to be made at a point in time when blood-boosting drugs were having a very strong effect on the peloton.

“Imagine you’ve paid the dues, you’ve done the work, you’ve got the talent, and your resolve is solid as concrete. At that point, the dream is 98 percent complete but there is that last little bit you need to become great,” he wrote of the crossroads he and many others faced.

“Then, just short of finally living your childhood dream, you are told, either straight out or implicitly, by some coaches, mentors, even the boss, that you aren’t going to make it, unless you cheat. Unless you choose to dope. Doping can be that last 2 percent. It would keep your dream alive, at least in the eyes of those who couldn’t see your heart. However, you’d have to lie. Lie to your mother, your friends, your fans. Lie to the world.”

Vaughters argues that final two percent represents a very sizeable difference. He said that it is the difference in time between running 100 meters in 9.8 seconds and 10 seconds, in finishing first or ninth in the 100 metre breast-stroke in swimming, and between finishing first or 100th in the Tour de France, in terms of overall time.

“If you just said no when the antidoping regulations weren’t enforced, then you were deciding to end your dream, because you could not be competitive. It’s the hard fact of doping,” he said, referring to the 1990s and early 2000s, when EPO use was particularly prevalent.

Vaughters competed in small teams early on during his career but after a very strong 1997 season when he took a number of wins including the US national TT championships, the Mount Evans hill climb and the Tour de Beauce, he secured a contract with the US Postal Service team for 1998.

He doesn't make clear when he began doping, but has hinted strongly in the past that he used EPO in 1999, when he broke Charly Gaul’s decades-old record on Mont Ventoux to win a stage in the Critérium du Dauphiné. He also finished second overall in the race.

He left the US Postal Service team at the end of 1999, moving to Crédit Agricole where he raced between 2000 and 2002. Speaking about that point of his career recently on Twitter, he said it was a clean team and the lack of pressure in that respect gave him a chance to stop taking banned substances. He said that he eventually asked to be released from his contract because he realised that he was not able to perform at his previous level.

Looking back, Vaughters argues that if anti-doping efforts were stronger and more effective at the time, that riders such as him would not have faced the same pressures as he did in the 90s. He said a different approach can create a better future.

“The answer is not to teach young athletes that giving up lifelong dreams is better than giving in to cheating,” he wrote. “The answer is to never give them the option. The only way to eliminate this choice is to put our greatest efforts into antidoping enforcement. The choice to kiss your childhood dream goodbye or live with a dishonest heart is horrid and tearing. I’ve been there, and I know.

“I chose to lie over killing my dream. I chose to dope. I am sorry for that decision, and I deeply regret it. The guilt I felt led me to retire from racing and start a professional cycling team where that choice was taken out of the equation through rigorous testing and a cultural shift that emphasized racing clean above winning.”

Vaughters currently runs the Garmin-Sharp squad, which states that racing clean is a major goal. He is believed to be one of those who gave evidence in the US Postal Service investigation.

The USADA case relating to that investigation is currently before a federal court in Texas, which has been asked to determine if it should go to arbitration. Vaughters is likely to be called as a witness if it does.

Sorry if this isn’t the right place to publish this subject but I did so in the Trade Chat and found it’s not showing up.

This is a great sounding show audio-wise but, probably like many of you, my version has a warble effect throughout. Possibly due to the transfer or perhaps damage to the source tape. Wondering if anyone out there has a version that attempts to clean this up or if anybody has any ideas how to improve or mitigate the issue? Any and all suggestions welcome.

Ok guys,
As they say time waits for no man and well everyday it gets closer to my departure to Europe. I will be storing the Z and I suspect it won't get cranked over too often. I will probably ask mum to give it a kick in the guts here and there but it probably won't be driven much at all (if at all).

So what are your storage tips, so when I eventually get back getting her up and going again won't be too hard?

I am thinking the following might be in order:
Disconnect Battery.
Spray Cylinders with WD40
Drain Brake and Clutch Fluid
Cover with car cover

Anything else you guys would recommend?

Hi Gav,

Interesting question, I thought about this when I started pulling mine apart. I found if I did not start it every week, it became very difficult to start and had to resort to Aerostart down the throat of the carbys. The battery also went flat after a few months.

Don't think I would drain the brake and clutch fluid as you do not want the rubbers to dry out and go brittle. Probably the only thing you need to worry about is the pistons sticking  in the bores, maybe pour some lubricant in the spark plug holes.

Otherwise I would just put clean oil, clutch and brake fluid and coolant in it and get someone to start it regularly until the battery goes flat or we could set up a roster to flog it around the block each weekend.

Enjoy you trip

gav, my votes with warren, im up for the roster idea for sure...... id even travel to do it for you ! how many spare tyres you got tho....? ah its cool im sure we can all sort something there !
ok more seriously  ....regular starting, new fluids, take battery out(sulfric acid /vapour), rust proof her up and chuck her up on blocks mate as theres a fair chance your tyres will go flat and die. thats all i can think of at this time, av a great trip over there !

I would just take the battery out of the car and cover it over. Don't bother starting it. Could do more harm than good. The car will be fine just sitting there. You could roll it back and forth 1-2 feet to stop a flat spot on the tyres but even that isn't necessay. Also make sure you have anti rust coolant in the radiator.
On your return before you start it, that's when I would do all the work. chank the oil and filter plus plugs. buy a new battery and the tyres should be OK after a long drive. I leave my car for 4 months at a time on accasions and it starts first time every time I want to take it out. As long as it is locked away in a dry area she will be fine.

depends if it leaks oil ... but my mate has a HT gts in the shed that had been there for about 2 years  . its up on blocks just to keep the tryes off the ground and the battery is out... but most of all!  the engine has nearly 15 liters of oil in it, just the cheap stuff full in the bores right up to the rockers  i thought it was a smart idea and every few months he rotates the crank just a few degrees one way then back ....  :-\ but that thing is for his son so he ain't bringing it out into the daylight any time soon..
a year isn't that long i wouldn't think you would have a problem ... its just what you do when you get back eg: change fuel ..full service and some rost off or wd 40 down the bore and rotate by hand then give a few cranks with plugs out should be fine

what about the fuel pump? Not sure what type you are running but if it's mechanical the rubbers could dry out and crack.

Hi there
Our 260z was stored for 12 years before we bought it a few months ago.

As expected we spent a few $'s on new tyres and some work on the brakes, fuel and cooling systems and new exhaust but the engine is as sweet as a nut and goes like a train (electric train that is).  Was very apprehensive at buying it at first for obvious reasons but am very pleased we did.

put some synthetic 2 stroke oil in tank and drive a while gets in the whole system synthetic cause it wont blow smoke , oil will stop any rubber components drying out and stops that white powder when fuel drys up and lubes valves and guides etc, and stick a rag in exhaust an in air cleaner stop moisture getting in , no point starting it every now and then unless your going to drive it just leave it sit , or turn the engine over with the coil lead out is better than starting for short periods, put block under suspension or the tyres will end up square

It does not matter if you use them in different quantities. But always use marrowbones. | Tip 5 : Rinse the meat thoroughly in cold water and bake the bones as directed. This saves you a time with replacing the water, as stated in some other recipes. | Tip 6  : Do not look for the original recipe for soup Pho, it does not exist. On the internet, we went through hundreds of recipes, but none of them were the same. | Tip 7: This soup costs in various restaurants from 79 up to 259 crowns. At this price the average family eats this soup at home 3 times. Do not underestimate the soup because is full of vitamins and minerals. | Tip 8: If you find this soup too fatty, then let the broth cool completely and the second day pick up all fat with a spoon, and then you have a great and healthy diet soup. | Tip 9: When you eat this soup as a main meal, ask yourself a question: Why Vietnamese and Chinese are not fat ... ? The answer lies in a bowl in front of you...

CANFIELD - Prayers will begin at 10 a.m. Monday at the Higgins-Reardon Funeral Homes, Austintown Chapel, followed by a Mass of Christian Burial at Our Lady of Sorrows Church (Holy Name) at 10:30 a.m., for Karen E. Yambar, 73, who passed away Tuesday, June 25, 2013, after a lengthy illness, with family by her side.

Karen was born on April 22, 1940, in Youngstown, a daughter of Andrew and Elizabeth Sherbak Yambar.

She was a 1958 graduate of Chaney High School and attended Youngstown State University, where she majored in Business/Secretarial Studies. She was a former employee of Commercial Motor Freight and General Extrusions and was subsequently employed by the Home Savings & Loan Company of Youngstown until her retirement.

Karen was a lifelong member of the Holy Name of Jesus Catholic Church in Youngstown.

As a youth, Karen was a member of 4-H and worked with her father on the award-winning Yambar Pony Farm. She excelled at showing ponies and harness racing at fairs in the tri-county state area, winning numerous blue ribbons. In later years, she was a member of the Tamburitzans and played native musical instruments, and she spoke the Slovak language fluently.

Karen enjoyed shopping for vintage clothing, taking day trips with friends, and cooking from family recipes. Throughout her life, she was a true professional in all she did and was tenacious and focused on her goals.

Karen was clearly a woman before her time. Everyone who met her was warmed by her signature smile and candid storytelling.

Karen is survived by nieces Sharon Yambar and Katie Davis; nephews Rev. Chris (Maureen) Yambar and Tim Yambar; three great-nephews, Justin Davis, Brandon Davis and Joseph Vaught II; a great-niece, Jana Davis; and two great-great-nephews. She also leaves behind her adopted family of caregivers at St. Mary’s Alzheimer’s Center in Columbiana.

She was predeceased by her parents; and her brother, David Yambar.

Family and friends may call Monday, July 1, from 8:30 to 10 a.m. at the Higgins-Reardon Funeral Homes, Austintown Chapel, 4303 Mahoning Ave.

Ten more thoughts about YSU after the second scrimmage

« Penguin Insider

by Joe Scalzo - "A blog about YSU Penguin athletics, not the insides of penguins."   | 155 entries

http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> Untitled document

1. Penguins coach Eric Wolford avoided it as long as he could, but he's starting to show the telltale sign of a head coach: paranoia.
YSU closed off Saturday's scrimmage to the public (parents and media were still able to attend), which I figured was due to the university holding summer graduation at Beeghly Center.
Apparently, the coaches are worried about secret scouts infiltrating the stands.
You could argue that this shows that Wolford is confident his team is good enough to win every game, including the opener against Pitt, and don't want to take any chances.
So, yeah. We'll go with that. It sounds better than the alternative.

2. Wolford said his two biggest depth chart issues are at safety and wide receiver.
Wide receiver wasn't really a problem until junior Jelani Berassa went out with an ACL tear earlier this week. He's lost for the season, depriving the Penguins of their tallest starter (6-foot-4) and their best deep threat from last year.
Sophomores Kintrell Disher (6-4, 215) and Andrew Williams (6-2, 185) are both big and athletic, but way too inconsistent to be trusted full-time. That leaves Christian Bryan (5-10, 180), Kevin Watts (6-0, 225) and Andre Stubbs (5-6, 160) as the most trusted starters and none of those guys create matchup problems, size-wise.

3. Tight end Will Shaw, on the other hand, does create matchup problems. Both of Kurt Hess' touchdown passes in scrimmages have come on deep crosses to Shaw. I expect the coaches to throw to him a lot.

4. Senior Jeremey Edwards and junior Josh Garner are the main returnees at safety but it's pretty clear the coaches aren't in love with either of them.
Senior Deionte Williams started with the first team with Garner on Saturday (Edwards and Garner had started the first scrimmage) and junior Twin Fernandes also got some looks but nobody has really distinguished himself.
I guess there's still two weeks, right?

5. Kicker David Brown made a 49-yarder during the scrimmage, which was a good sign.
Brown was decent on extra points last year (53 of 56) but didn't show much leg in practices and scrimmages and Wolford clearly didn't trust him outside of 30 yards.
He made 3 of 4 field goals last fall but YSU needs more from him this season.
So far, it looks like he can give it.

6. Speaking of kickers, punter Nick Liste has looked terrific.
He probably doesn't get enough ink.

7. It was good to see redshirt freshman Demond Hymes back in the backfield. He's missed most of camp with a concussion and you could see the rust flying off as the scrimmage wore on.
Wolford sat starter Jamaine Cook (the coaches want him as fresh as possible) and neither backup running back did much on Saturday. Adaris Bellamy carried eight times for 13 yards and Torrian Pace had eight carries for 12 yards.
Based on what I've seen, Hymes is the second-best running back in camp.

8. I was stunned to see Dubem Nwadiogbu starting over Travis Williams at Will linebacker, particularly since I had given Williams a preseason all-conference vote.
Williams was the defense's best player in the spring game but he hasn't done much in camp so far and the coaches really like Nwadiogbu, one of the team's most athletic players.
This might be one of those wake-up call demotions — after all, Williams started all 11 games last year, the only linebacker to do so — but it proves Wolford isn't lying when he says no job is safe.

9. Williams' demotions gives credence to the "Never trust a transfer" philosophy.
He and Devont'a Davis were highly-touted transfers from the University of Miami (Fla.) last summer. But Davis left the program on Thursday and Williams is now a second-stringer.
Davis initially left the program earlier this summer -- he hung up on me when I called him for comment -- but came back in time for camp. I was there at the first practice and I remember Davis arrived late, prompting cornerbacks coach Glenn Davis to yell, "Always got to be late, huh?"
When Davis was locked in, he was really good. But he was never one of new defensive coordinator Joe Tresey's favorites.

10. The Plain Dealer's Terry Pluto wrote an interesting story this week about the Akron football team and how there's just six players left from the 2009 recruiting class. You can read it here: http://www.cleveland.com/pluto/blog/index.ssf/2012/08/enthused_by_new_coach_terry_bo.html
New coach Terry Bowden is trying to change the culture of the program but, like Wolford, he realized immediately that he needed a talent upgrade.
The difference is, it's a lot easier to recruit to YSU than Akron.

Figuring out the current Leafs going into 2010—and the second half of the season

Within the last few weeks, I mentioned that we would see over the next while if the 2009-2010 Leafs were simply one of those teams that can look strong at times and upset a good team every once in a while—or will actually ‘turn the corner” and become a consistently competitive team.

They’ve beaten “good” teams—Detroit, Washington twice, Boston, Pittsburgh. But they typically follow up these short spurts of somewhat inspired play with flat performances. (They finished the first half of this season with a record of 14-18-9 and lost the first game of the second half last night in Calgary.)

Now, for younger Leaf fans reading this, you should know one thing: this is not new. Many of us have seen this movie for a long, long time.

Even when the Leafs were not very good—late ‘60s, through the 1970s off and on and of course, the rather bleak ‘80s—the team could occasionally upset one of the “big boys” (usually someone like Montreal, when they were really good). Everyone would get revved up, and think about the possibilities, if only….

Reality usually hit us in the face before too much time had passed. History reminds us we haven’t been to the finals since, well, we all know since when.

A few days ago I posted on the subject of “Who will be here in three years”. That is, how many of the guys on the current Leaf roster will likely be in blue and white by the 2012-2013 season, or even 2011-2012. A number of players on the back end may be (Gustavsson, Beauchemin, Komisarek - they’re Burke guys) but it’s not hard to project a virtual wholesale change with the 12-13 forward spots.

So much can change in hockey nowadays with free agency; it is tough to project where a club might be. Two solid drafts, a couple of kids step up, a franchise player bursts onto the scene, improvement in goal—a team can improve quickly. Maybe even the Leafs.

Most observers will give the current Leafs that, most nights, they work. They are all solid NHL players. And on occasion, when the grinders grind and the “skill” forwards make a slick move, a nice pass, or the puck goes in- you start thinking players like Stajan, Grabovski, Ponikarovsky, Mitchell, Hagman might be part of the long-term ‘answer’.

In reality, there may be only two pieces up front that Burke will want to keep: Kessel (if he doesn’t drive his coach crazy as time goes on) and Kulemin. Everyone else could be moved, one would think.

How far are the Leafs away? Again, that things can change quickly nowadays.

But to sustain an elite-level team, over a period of years, in addition to outstanding coaching, health, good fortune and an unbelievable work ethic, you need top-end talent and depth.

The Leafs just don’t have that, and it’s not in the “system” or even the junior ranks.

I think back over the years to when the Leafs were “good” but nowhere near good enough to win a Cup:

In the early ‘70s, when they were ‘good’ for one season, they had Keon, Ullman and Armstrong up front, Bernie Parent and Jacques Plante in goal, all Hall-of-Famers. Bobby Baun was on defense. They had a top rookie in Darryl Sittler, quality veterans like Henderson and Ellis, rugged grinders like Spencer and Harrison and talented young defensemen.

They didn’t get out of the quarter-finals.

In the later ’70s, when they were ‘good’ they had (at various times) Sittler, McDonald and Salming—all Hall-of Famers. A goalie in Palmateer everyone said was great. An innovative, inspirational coach in Roger Neilson. They got to the semi-finals once. And didn’t win a game once they got there.

In the ‘80s, despite some nice moments and lots of hope with guys like Vaive, Salming, Derlago, Anderson and of course Wendell and the young goalies, Bester and Wreggett, they maybe won one four-out-of-seven playoff series, if that.

When Pat Burns changed the culture of the organization under Cliff Fletcher in the early 90s, they had “Dougie” and Wendell, still, and a cast of character players, as well as a young goalie who could be pretty good at times in Felix Potvin. We all felt cheated in 1993, but the reality is, despite the talent and the grit, they didn’t win in ’93 or ‘94.

Under Pat Quinn, the Leafs had those two runs – in 1999 and 2002. A superstar in Sundin, a top-end goalie in Cujo, but they could not get to the end. In their last final four appearance against Carolina they leaned on Sundin (through they actually played their best hockey when he was hurt), a rugged leader in Gary Roberts, and more Curtis Joseph.

My point is with all that over the years…at times a lot of talent, sometimes a ton of grit, good coaching, outstanding goaltending, it’s never been enough to win a championship. It’s that hard in the NHL.

Just think back to last season: The Penguins won with superior goalkeeping, extraordinary talent in Crosby and Malkin and an outstanding supporting core. Look who didn’t—the Red Wings, with a quality roster up and down and tremendous depth. Anaheim, the Cup champions two years before. San Jose. Washington. Look at the teams who get to the final four every year. How much talent they have, how hard they have to work.

The Leafs, in truth, just don’t—and can’t—play anything like that on a regular basis right now.

They seem to be a long, long way away.

Nevertheless, since the fun isn’t (thank God) always in “winning”, but in hoping that someday you’ll get there, Leaf fans keep checking out the Marlie roster for the sleeper who may develop late; they see how Kadri is doing in London, they wonder how the next couple of drafts might go.

Because it’s always worth believing.

  1. Well written post Michael. I think you summed it up nicely. I'm a bit younger than you and barely recall the early 70's as a Leafs fan. My biggest disappointment lately is that they had an opportunity to bottom feed for awhile, draft well and start over. But now Burke messed that up with the Kessel move. Cheers

  2. This so called professional team/organization is only that in name because they play in the same league as the real professional teams/organizations. In part their existence is really only because the city itself sees itself as the the capital of the country where the game originated and where this team did in fact excel at one point early in the franchises history. It's more like an honorary position or role they play only because of the contribution they had made to the development of the league in it's infancy . There is no risk of this team moving or folding as it should and start from scratch with a different name and logo. Sort of like the senate here where they have a seat and a wage for life but they don't do anything. And we gladly support this hallowed tradition because that's who we are - suckers. Come to think of it I wouldn't mind a job like that!

    As a recent low speed 360 crasher of my new Viper to the tune of $53k, I can say with confidence it would not have happened, if there was a sticky like Janni's here, and including all of your comments on this thread like... "On the street, the only thing as important as car control when driving a Viper is SELF-CONTROL." I'm sure this thread will be of value to all new Viper owners...if they heed your well intentioned warnings! Thank you all.

    I totaled my 1997 Viper GTS on July 5, 2010 and was lucky to walk away without a scratch. This was due to a heavy foot and 8 year old tires that had lots of tread! The rear tires broke loose at about 55-60 MPH as I was passing a car. The car went into an immediately spin, hit an embankment, went airborne, through a metal gate, slid 150 feet and landed in a creek. I feel tires are the most neglected safety feature of your car - if it still has tread you assume it's safe - well I'm here (thankfully) to tell that's not true.

    All of the above is correct and prudent. We would hate to make people think that these cars are unsafe. Any motor vehicle in the hands of a fool, is dangerous. Anything that you strap yourself into, that has padding and airbags inside implies that risk is involved, especially if it looks like a spaceship.

    All that I can add is that one is often best at what he or she does most. I know some like to keep the mileage low in order to preserve value, but I drive my Viper often and in various temperatures and conditions. Know the machine, no matter what you drive. I find that after a short "sabbatical" from Viper driving of up to three weeks or so, I take it real easy due to a bit of rustiness, and too much familiarity with some sedate minivan or sedan. I keep driving until I have that, "oh yeah!" moment, then I start to play a bit.

    So, if you can swing it, don't just drive the Viper; be the Viper. :smirk: For those of you with many exotics, and little time to play with them all, just be more careful still. My two cents...

    Everyone that hasn't taken at least 1 high performance driving course doesn't know what they are talking about and doesn't know enough to drive a Viper at speeds more than the legal speed limit and no stunting.

    As JonB said, "Driving school". It's the only way to practise and learn what they teach. Every cop takes a driving course and all they get to drive is junk (except the ones that buy a Viper).

    Even a street racer and old "bad boy" that learned high speed driving while racing cops ... needs a lesson to see how much he doesn't know.

    AutoX is excellent to teach low speed handling and speed limit performance driving.

    A public-service announcement ^^ above that CAN save your life......every week I talk to people who want to believe that "good tread-depth" on their old tires is all that matters. They might want to buy 2 new tires. (which can make it worse!)

    "TRACTION MATTERS"...and old rubber will ditch you, or worse.

    And every month I talk to people who wrecked their cars becasue they trusted old, hard, tires that 'looked good'

    Ironic that they don't look as good when car is upside-down........

    Greetings to everyone on both sides of the Atlantic.
    Good sticky rubber is part of the answer. Old tires can get you killed very quickly in our favorite sports car.
    Respect for the Vipers capabilities is another part of the puzzle.
    Know your cars limits. Know your own limits as a driver.
    New tires every two to three seasons.
    Drivers training in your own Viper by professional drivers either at the track or at a safety training drivers school. In the wet and on dry pavement. Europe has several schools run by their versions of AAA.
    From what I have seen our local/regional VCA organizations and non-affiliated Viper clubs do try to offer people these excellent venues for learning how to drive a fantastic automobile. In Europe and North America.
    Markus knows how valuable drivers training, drivers attitude and vehicle maintenance can be when you pilot this sportscar. He was instrumental in giving Viper owners in Europe the opportunity to learn to pilot the Viper in safe conditions. It continues to pay big dividends to those who chose to take advantage. Me included. 64000 miles in Europe. Track time and autobahn/route/strade. Europes two lane black top roads are a thrill. Thanks Markus!

    I do inspect tires for age at Viper meetings and found/find plenty of thread and +8 (sometimes 10, 11, ...) years old tires on the cars - have to shake my head about such a stupidity again and again and again :rolleyes: :crazy2:

    Drive safe and invest some money in the few square inches keeping you on the road :2tu:

    Maybe a Viper should have training wheels attached for the first year....I say to those which don't care and want to push the envelope, this is great for cleaning out the herd....

    This is a very interesting thread. And should be required reading for any prospective Viper owner.
    I grew up on GTO's and Trans Am's. I have flown F-16's and aerobatic aircraft. Today, I have 2 Corvettes, including a ZR-1 and several "rice rocket" superbikes.

    NOTHING compares to the Viper, nothing.

    In a straight line it is impressive. It can exceed my limitations without warning. In the curves it scares me.

    I bought my Viper in Ohio and I drove it home to Colorado to get acquainted with it. The first semi-truck I passed on the highway, I made sure I was already in the passing lane before applying power. The sheer suddenness of the torque power, catapulted me beyond the massive truck in less time than my brain could register. It passed like my Kawasaki ZRX-1100; instantly. Had I been in the lane behind the truck when I rolled on the power, I might very well have collided with the rear of the truck.
    The Viper strikes very quickly. It's not like other super cars I've driven. It requires an attention at all times and a seasoned driver who is familiar with high horse power vehicles.
    You've really got to think way ahead of this car to stay safe and fun.:drive:

    Don't disagree at all. Dodge includes defeatable ESC on their Hemi products. ESC can be completely disabled if needed from the driver's seat. Best of both worlds . . . ESC when you're not thinking about it, and no ESC when you deliberately don't want it.

    Great thread. I can say as a new Viper owner I've taken these types of warnings to heart, not just from this thread, but in general.

    In 2001 I was a testosterone driven idiot... I nearly wrecked my 2 week old 2001 Vette because I power shifted 1-2 in a slight turn (total freakin' dumb-a** move, I know). Anyway, good ego-check/comeuppance. If it wasn't for the computer intervening I may have been toast.

    Since then I've logged many hours of track time (with the computer OFF). Felt the edge, passed the edge etc. And If I've learned nothing else, I have learned EGO can be your downfall. As soon as you think you are Superman, the world has a way of reminding you that you aren't. But, I also learned I'll always have more to learn... always.

    After a few weeks of ownership, I can say I think many people get wowed by the "street legal racecar" moniker... and what some don't realize is that racecars are designed to be fast on racetracks with capable hands. They are not designed for rutted, potholed, gravel covered ever-changing streets. Riding a Hayabusa tought me this lesson too. Dragging pegs is a great feeling, but you never know what lies around the next turn, gravel, a pothole, a chicken crossing the road etc... Even if you ARE Lewis Hamilton... the streets change constantly, and sometimes it won't even matter if you are the best driver ever.

    There are some roads around here my jeep is probably faster around curves because of it's slushy/compliant suspension that the viper would simply skip and skitter off the road.

    For those who have never been on a racetrack and a driving course, I suggest it so strongly, even one or two weekends in a green group. Tracking my Corvette TOTALLY CURED my idiotic street behavior. TOTALLY. I realized immediately that no matter how fast I tried to take that left turn on the street, it would NEVER thrill me like the track, and was simply not worth the risk. Tracking made me a better driver on the road for so many reasons, the obvious ones of learning how to drive, but the indirect ones... the impact it had on my brain/mindset/behavior behind the wheel. Now when pr*ck kids in their turbo'd WRXs rev and get dumb next to me I can just think back to the track, and what REAL drivers can do. REAL drivers don't race on the street (IMHO).

    Now, I'm knocking on wood to make sure none of the above just cursed me :)

    Well I am the noob in the room. I just purchased my first Viper; a 1996 RT-10. After reading this thread I already have a healthy respect for the car I have not even driven yet. The advice here is great and I hope new owners really heed this advice from the more experienced Viper owners here. I can tell you for sure that I will be looking for driving schools so I can safely explore the limits of my Viper and increase my skill. I look forward to meeting many of you guys in the future.

    6 years, dam I got 3 months and 15000km out of my first set of sport cups. :s, I find it really hard not to drive this car.
    As many of you are aware, I lost my final edition coupe with 700km. I got lucky and walked away. I was covered by insurance and now have my beautiful final edition ACR. Lucky again. The ACR came out of the show room and straight on the track for driver training. After 14 track/lapping days with instruction, I wouldn't do it any other way. I went from being terrified of the car, to being reasonably competent with a heathy dose of respect.
    Did I mention I can't stop driving this exhilarating piece of kit :))

    Being a noob to the viper this post has helped me a lot, i ve had a lot of fast cars, camaro's ,t/a's lsx engined gto's, EVO8, viper ram, supercharged saleen, some of them pushing over 600hp, but none of them has been as different to drive as the viper,it's a totally new experience for me and even though i 've put over 2,000 miles on mine i'm still on the "honeymoon" phase, and even there i got stupid on a parking lot and did a 180!, so yes, this thread has helped me a lot and i know will help others who like me Love and would like to get to know their snakes. thank you for the info!!!.

    P.S. Im looking for driving schools to help me learn the driving curve of the viper.

    I'd recommend Spring Moutain (close to Las Vegas) - their 3 day course was fantastic, and taught all the basics in a very controlled environment, including time on a wet skid pad, and lots of time learning to perform the heel-toe downshift. Yeah, you'll be doing it in a Vette, but I'm highly considering going back for their level 2 course, and at the end of the day, you get to beat on someone else's car, not your baby.

    Another Noob here, reading this has so much good advice for a new Viper owner. My first car was a 69 Roadrunner, so I thought I had experienced torque and my 2nd car was a 260Z, that taught me a lot about driving the mountain roads of Colorado. All that went out the window with the Viper! I learned that the first time I was turning left into a gas station and stepped a little to aggressively on the throttle. Luckily it just lit up the tires and only slightly turned sideways, but I drove the next 500 miles at 10 under the limit! I too got past by many minivans, (and still do), but I am only learning what the car can do. Plus I love just cruising along about 50 listening to the pipes sing.

    I had an acquaintance of mine get killed in his RT/10. He was on a back road that had a S curve to cross a ditch. From the skid marks, it looked like he punched it before he was straightened out and the car did a 180 on him and backed into the ditch. The car rolled and pinned him in and he drowned in 12" of water. I always wondered how that could have happened, after driving my Viper, I understand.

    I did learn one thing from this thread, I am going to check the date on the tires. It is an 06 with 10K miles, I bet they are the originals, I know they are run flats. Looks like time for some new rubber. Thanks for all the great advice. I don't plan on racing, but I want to stay safe to enjoy my toy!!!

Michael Fassbender Won’t Talk About What Happened in Mexico, But He Will Talk About Song to Song

Michael Fassbender.

In Terrence Malick’s Song to Song, set amid the Austin music scene, Michael Fassbender plays one point of a very good-looking love rhombus that also includes Ryan Gosling, Natalie Portman, and Rooney Mara. But his character, Cook, isn’t exactly trying to Keep Austin Weird: He’s a music mogul who wants to ensnare Gosling’s BV, Mara’s Faye, and Portman’s Rhonda, and just about everyone else who comes across his path. From the very not-Texas location of England, Fassbender talked to Vulture about drawing inspiration from Satan and Bob Fosse, mingling with rock-and-roll legends, and working with a very energetic Val Kilmer — but not what happened in Mexico.

You looked like you were having a lot of fun in Song to Song, especially in the scenes with you and Ryan and Rooney.
Absolutely, yeah. You sort of have this freedom to be uninhibited — it’s a very nonstructured way of working in terms of the script that you use and how you go about filming and the lack of continuity. But it’s something that requires a lot of concentration, because so much of it is improvisational, and you have to be alive to so many things. It’s fun, for sure, but it’s challenging.

Natalie said you guys would improvise for 30 minutes at a time. How do you keep a take like that going?
I don’t know. I think you try to take an attitude onboard and try to communicate physically, try to have an objective or desire and try to communicate that to the person in the scene. You just try to keep things alive. But also trying to sit back and be comfortable with doing nothing. You could think of it a little bit like jazz, you’re devising a loose structure and trying to keep a ball up in the air.

Your relationship with Ryan’s character in the movie is really interesting — there’s this Faustian dynamic where you’re offering him this deal, and the audience has this sense that it’s not necessarily in Ryan’s best interests to work with you.
Terrence told me before shooting that my character would be like Satan in Paradise Lost, someone who would seduce and manipulate. And then I thought of Bob Fosse, and a video that I saw of him on the internet, in The Little Prince, I think it is, where he’s a snake and he transforms into a human being and he has this dance. And I used that dance and that character as well as an inspiration for Cook.

When you guys went down to Mexico, Terrence said that it got pretty rowdy. What did he mean?
What happens in Mexico stays in Mexico. You know this, Kevin.

The Austin music element is a rich backdrop for the film. What was interacting with that like for you? You get tackled by the Red Hot Chili Peppers at one point, I believe, so you had an intimate experience of it.
Yeah, it was pretty intimate. First of all, you pay your respects to these legends, and then you say, “I’m going to be a bit of an asshole” in the scene [laughs], and try to stay in character for the scene.

Did you feel keyed in to the more modern musicians before you shot in Austin, or did you learn more about the artists like the Black Lips and Lykke Li who factor into the film?
I’d definitely heard of them, but my music catalogue really starts to thin out after about 1997, ’98 [laughs]. I’m not totally up to speed. But I felt like it didn’t matter with Cook, he’s listening to artists and realizing where there’s a hit but there’s also an indifference about the whole thing to him.

Right, it’s a currency for power and money, not necessarily …
That’s right. And maybe it started off as a passion, and I think that’s why his relationship to BV, Ryan’s character, has that element of jealousy, because he’s an artist and he wants to go for the pure form of what he does, and there’s that element of jealousy also in his relationship with [Rooney Mara’s] Faye. He’s numbed that side out.

Did you come away from shooting the movie having discovered any bands you really liked?
Nope. But I did enjoy watching Iggy Pop, and Neil Young was playing, Jack White, so I definitely got to experience a lot of cool live performances. The Red Hot Chili Peppers, and John Lydon at Fun Fun Fun. And it was great to work with Val Kilmer — he did some fantastic stuff in the film. I felt like I was hanging on by my fingernails doing scenes with him — he’s a fantastic force of nature in the film.

He really shows up like a lightning bolt and disappears just as fast, gets carried off into a police car or a car or whatever.[Laughs.] I think it was a taxi.

It had the feel of a police car.
By the way they were putting him into it, yeah.

What do you take from an experience like this that’s so different from your other work? You have Alien: Covenant coming out this year, which is obviously a very different type of acting.
Maybe not having too many preconceptions going into scenes, and allowing things to develop, and allowing things to happen instead of trying to instigate all the time. Getting comfortable in certain patterns within the scene.

This interview has been edited and condensed.

A New Interior for 1977 Westfalia VW Bus "Taos"

We've started working on a new interior for our 1977 VW Camperbus Taos...

The jumping off point for the new color scheme on this bus was it's original 70's Avocado green. The interior on this bus is in great shape, so instead of pulling the interior completely out in order to repaint the bus an entirely different color we decided to work around the green and just re-paint the exterior of the bus for now. It's exterior will soon be painted a burnt orange with a creamy white top.
Yes, these are the original 1977 VW seats, they've been masterfully rehabilitated by our upholsterer Juan. Juan rebuilds the springs, uses new foam, and cleans and paints all the parts - the end result being seats that are better than new! We chose a combo of solid burnt orange and a swirl pattern marine vinyl for the seats, cushions, door panels and visors.
A big deal was scored via Craig's List where we sourced laminate remnants for $0.15/SQ. FT.! So here we've matched the Craig's List laminate with a lively lime green laminate which will be used for cook top/sink horizontal surfaces.

We found some playful, bright fabric that incorporated the Avocado green, in addition to a citrus green, burnt orange, a touch of gold and a wee bit of charcoal and black.
Here, the upper berth cushions are getting the full spa treatment!

We'll update you as we progress through the Taos Project, so stay tuned!

Special Issue: International Journal of Optical Computing

Call for Papers

Special Issue of the

Recent advances in mathematical theory related to the representation of signals
and images by Wavelet-type or Gabor-type functions has generated significant
interest in application of waveforms that are localized in both space and
frequency to signal and image processing, pattern recognition, data compression
and analysis of phenomena exhibted by PDE. Optical methods have also been
considered as a viable means to accelerate the computations required in such
applications by capitalizing on its inherent processing paralellism. The inten-
tion of this special issue is to bring together updated research results and to
look into possible future directions in the area of optical processing based on
the limited extent waveforms, such as using the Gabor and Wavelet transforms,
and other related methods. Both theoretical and and experimental studies in the
algorithms/architecture developments, supporting new material and device con-
cepts, as well as system applications are welcome.

To well present the state-of-the-art in theory, implementation, of the wavelets
and related concepts, we solicit contributions of papers describing original
work. The special issue is scheduled for publication in Novemeber 1993. The
deadline for submission is April 29.

Question: Implementation of Mallat algorithm

Something has been confusing me about some implementations of the
Mallat algorithm.

The big advantage of the Wavelet Transform over the FFT is its ability
to deal with non-stationary signals. In some versions of the Mallat
algorithm, the filter ladder is implemented in the frequency domain
relying on the Convolution Theorem (that a convolution in the time
domain, as carried out by a Toeplitz-like matrix, is equivalent to a
multiplication in the frequency domain). BUT in order to transform to
the frequency domain to carry out this procedure, an assumption must
be made that the data at that scale is stationary or one of the
fundamental assumptions of the FFT (and hence of the Convolution
Theorem) is violated. So it seems to me that the wavelet pcoefficients
calculated in this way must reject the nonstationarity that is one of
the main reasons for using the WT in the first place?

I assume I am misunderstanding something fundamental here - what????

Is it valid to calculate the Mallat algorithm in the frequency
domain, or only (as it seems to me) exclusively in the time domain?

Long Description:
SGT Walter K. Singleton is buried in Memory Hill Gardens Cemetery off Hwy 177 in Shelby County, Tennessee.

His citation is as follows:

Rank and organization: Sergeant, U.S. Marine Corps, Company A, 1st Battalion, 9th Marines, 3d Marine Division. Place and Date: Gio Linh District, Quang Tri Province, Republic of Vietnam, 24 March 1967. Entered service at: Memphis, Tenn. Born: 7 December 1944, Memphis, Tenn.

For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty. Sgt. Singleton's company was conducting combat operations when the lead platoon received intense small arms, automatic weapons, rocket, and mortar fire from a well entrenched enemy force. As the company fought its way forward, the extremely heavy enemy fire caused numerous friendly casualties. Sensing the need for early treatment of the wounded, Sgt. Singleton quickly moved from his relatively safe position in the rear of the foremost point of the advance and made numerous trips through the enemy killing zone to move the injured men out of the danger area. Noting that a large part of the enemy fire was coming from a hedgerow, he seized a machinegun and assaulted the key enemy location, delivering devastating fire as he advanced. He forced his way through the hedgerow directly into the enemy strong point. Although he was mortally wounded, his fearless attack killed 8 of the enemy and drove the remainder from the hedgerow. Sgt. Singleton's bold actions completely disorganized the enemy defense and saved the lives of many of his comrades. His daring initiative selfless devotion to duty and indomitable fighting spirit reflected great credit upon himself and the Marine Corps, and his performance upheld the highest traditions of the U.S. Naval Service.

Veterans Admin. still has to buy land for new VA hospital - WDRB 41 Louisville News

Veterans Admin. still has to buy land for new VA hospital

Posted: Updated:

Louisville, KY (WDRB) -- The Veterans Administration has chosen where it wants to put a new VA hospital in Louisville, and local businesses are excited.

Dust is flying as construction crews work on a slip ramp off of the Watterson Expressway. It will let drivers bypass the intersection of Brownsboro Road and I-264. The government obtained the land from Blue Equity as part of eminent domain.

Now, Blue Equity's other section of this land called The Midlands property has been chosen by the Veteran's Administration as the new site for a VA Hospital replacing this 60-year-old facility off of Zorn Avenue.

Bob Gunnell, a spokesman for Blue Equity, LLC says, "We are anticipating a fairly quick closing. We have not seen the final appraisal for the property. But, according to the contract that's what the VA pays for the property, that's all they pay for is whatever the appraised value is of the property."

After the closing, the VA could start construction soon, possibly by this year.

Blue Equity says a new VA Medical Center at that location will serve the veterans well and will help bolster the local economy. Local businesses like Impellizzeri's Pizza agree. Located across the street from the site, the owner says once construction starts, it's expecting to see more construction workers for lunch and dinner.  And to top it off, the pizza restaurant expects business to increase once the hospital is open.

But some neighbors are concerned that the new hospital will lead to increased traffic and a drop in their home values.  Resident John Lepping says, "I'm not going to say it's going be destroyed by addition of Veteran's Hospital, but there are some projections that it actually could affect property values as much as 30-40%"

Gunnell says, "Traffic congestion will be less." He anticipates it will be 25 percent less than if the original plan of a mixed use property was located there. Developers were planning to build a hotel, shopping, and restaurants, but that plan will no longer happen since the VA is buying the land.

The new hospital is expected to cost an estimated $883.2 million. It will have clinics specializing in primary care, surgery, and mental health and 110 inpatient beds.  Construction is expected to be finished by 2018.
