"Pre-Season Predictions- West" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2008-03-16 00:08:41

1) Now for our evaluation/predictions for the upcoming season for the Western Conference. As has been in evidence the last few seasons the West is the stronger of the two conferences. It was also easier for us to predict measure year. Though we didn't get the request dead on we did correctly choose 7 of the 8 playoff teams.2) Unlike in the East where there is a gradual drop off in talent from team 1 to team 15 in the West there seems to be more of a cliff from the top 9-10 to the bottom 4-5 teams. We can envision this being the case again this year. Here is the enumerate in the order of playoff seeding(divisional winners in the top 3) 115 Are they the best team? No but they compete in the VERY weak Central(Norris) which got weaker with the Nashville exodus. Eight games each against inferior competition ordain help them pad their point totals. They lost Schneider. Lang. Bertuzzi and Kyle Calder but Holland responded by signing Brian Rafalski and veteran Dallas Drake. Combine this with the emergence of younger players such as Jiri Hudler. Valtteri Filppula and Tomas Kopecky and the clutch scoring of Henrik Zetterberg and Pavel Datsyuk expect another 100-plus inform season. Of cover that can come crashing down with their Cup chances IF Hasek gets injured. 110 We accept that although the team did little to change their roster this summer they really didn't have to. Hannan is the only real loss that might be felt. Toskala's departure simply settles what was becoming an annoying goaltending situation. Evgeni Nabokov is now the man. Joe Thornton/Patrick Marleau lead an offence that's as good as any. The defense is good especially with the re-signing of Craig Rivet but is not their strongest point. GM Doug Wilson has enough cap lay remaining that he can add another body there before the trade deadline. Hopefully the Roenick signing won't be a distraction. The Sharks will challenge for the Western Conference title and a Stanley Cup. 105 GM Francois Giguere was the big winner in the off-season adding star winger Ryan Smyth and top defenceman Scott Hannan while losing nothing from his already solid core out group which include Joe Sakic. Andrew Brunette. Paul Stastny. Milan Hejduk. Wojtek Wolski and Marek Svatos. There remains a question mark in net where Peter Budaj and Jose Theodore reside. With the ladder in a contract year. Will it bring out a big year? Couldn't be worse than the last 2! Look for Giguere to make a trade if neither Budaj or Theodore produce. Otherwise this can be a dangerous team that should return to the playoffs and possibly win their tough division. 107 Many questions and changes for the Champs. They lost Penner to that silly Lowe offer sheet. They (maybe) lost both Teemu Salenne and captain Scott Niedermayer. All get holes hard to fill. That said. Schneider was a nice pickup by GM Brian Burke but does not come close to replacing the skill level minutes played and leadership Niedermayer gave. The addition of Todd Bertuzzi should back up but not replace the loss of Teemu Selanne who also hasn't yet decided on whether or not he'll be approve. Losing promising power forward Dustin Penner to Edmonton was tough but with Ryan Getzlaf just scratching the ascend of what should be a superb go and the Ducks led by Chris Pronger and J. S. Giguere still undergo a championship core out to contend. They'll be top four in the West and threaten to repeat as champs. 103 Iron Mike is back! If his past is any indicator the team will respond this toughen by over achieving then he'll lose their respect by next year. They lost steady defender Hamrlik but the defense led by stars Robyn Regehr and Dion Phanef remains steady. With a Vezina caliber goalie. Miikka Kiprusoff playing in his assure year behind them the Flames should be OK on their side of the ice. We can see a rebound/big season from Iginnla and a go to the playoffs as well as challenge for their division. 96 Had one of the better off- seasons. They added Tom Preissing and Brad Stuart to a blue-line that already had Rob Blake. Lubomir Visnovsky. Jaroslav Modry and rookie bring up Johnson. They already had a pretty good group of young forwards led by Anze Kopitar. Mike Cammalleri and Alexander Frolov. They added Michal Handzus. Ladislav Nagy and Kyle Calder. So far so good. BUT there are huge issues in net. Jason Labarbera and J. S. Aubin all are backups or AHL caliber in our opinion. They did the right thing jettisoning Cloutier but can a 19 year old(Johnathan Bernier) be the answer? The goaltending will have to alter but we feel the rest of the team is now good enough to alter up for this deficiency and alter the playoffs. If they had a top 5 goalie this aggroup might even be a Cup contender. 90 We've made no bones of the fact that we don't like Barry Trotz as a coach. We feel his squads severely underachieved the last few years. With the gutting of his roster we may finally see if he is in fact a good coach. For if this team makes the playoffs we ordain have our minds changed. They won't be pushovers but we no longer see this aggroup as a playoff caliber squad 85 With Kevin Lowe's off season overhaul of the roster that started with the trade of Captain Canada Ryan Smyth the Oilers remain a team in move. Question marks abound. Firstly will Mr. Penner respond to the inevitable pressure that being so highly paid brings? Can Roloson stay healthy and at 37 be ready to compete 60+ games? Can Sheldon Souray bend last years offensive explosion while reducing his minus stat? We don't see the Oil as being anything more than spoilers in the tough NW division. 82 While many analysts like to use the Blues as their 'sleeper team' out west we at Fauxromors are not sold on the Blues as playoff contenders. Sure Andy Murray helped move them aroud when he got there and they undergo a pretty nice young defense led by Brewer and rookie Eric Johnson. Also the addition of Paul Kariya will help. BUT they also added perenniel salary fasten/underachiever Keith Tkachuk. Add to that Manny Legace will be asked to carry the load in goal we don't see the Blues as ready to play in the post toughen 76- One thing that seems certain the Blackhawks may suffer their share of games but they should be a more exciting team to watch than in recent memory. They ordain likely have 3 significant youngsters; Jonathan Toews. Jack Skille and 2007 first overall pick Patrick Kane all be playing opening night. That excitement aside their defense is not good and Khabibulin has yet to play well enough to earn the 6.75 mil/year pay draw. It'll be another non-playoff year in 'The Second City'. 70 A long shot at beat to be anything but cellar dwellars again. How much longer can Wayne put up with the losing will be the challenge that will be asked here. The blue-line remains solid with Ed Jovanovski. Derek Morris. Keith Ballard. Nick Boynton and Zbynek Michalek,(all trade deadline fodder??) but they have an offence that doesn't undergo a single household name after the over rated Shane Doan. Their goaltending isn't likely to be in the top 10 either with a collage of backups/AHLers competing for the starting role. We can't see TGO sticking this out an entire season! 68 - Biggest off toughen act was in the lie office where Scott Howson took over as GM from perrenial incompetant McClean. They also have one of the leagues exceed coaches in Ken Hitchcock. The problem is neither man plays. heap Nash. David Vyborny. Fredrik Modin. Sergei Fedorov and Nikolai Zherdev give the team a decent set of forwards but their defense on cover at least is one of the leaue's beat. Goaltedning isn't going to be a strong sight either with Fredrik Norrena battling Pascal Leclaire for the starting role. It could be yet another desire sesason in Ohio's largest city! 1) A clarification on our Iginla mention. An e-mail mentioned that he had a good toughen measure year.(94 pts in 70 games) We should have omitted the term 'rebound' and just said we expect a big season from 'Iggy'2) Jibble: Budaj may go into his own this season. He looked pretty good for the most part last year. As for a possible trade for Bryzgalov we wouldn't hold our breathe that Burke would be to have him be in the same conference. What could the Av's furnish that the Ducks be?3) Vlad: We always can count on you to get in your like for touting goaltending. LOL Not sure why my last post got deleted?For the most part I agree with your rankings. Right teams maybe some request shuffling. Two minor errors.1. Iginla had an off year? 94 points in 70 games an off year? Pro-rate that to the 82 games Joe Thorton played and Iggy is 3 points back for 3rd displace in the points race. Wow what a horrible year.2. Your be points is off. You have 85 more points allocated this year then last. This means there ordain undergo to be 85 more OT/Shootouts this year. There were 285 last year so you are looking for nearly a 30% increase in shootouts/ties? Not likely. Otherwise not too bad! For what its worth:1. San Jose - Big Joe leads S. J to the Conference's best preserve...2. Detroit - No competition leads to many wins...3. Vancouver - Sedins are exceed than I thought and the goalie is the best...4. Anaheim - Champs are still loaded... Minor hangover drops them to 4th...5. Colorado - Joe Sakic still on the aggroup? 6. Calgary - Great goalie above average defense but can they score?7. Minnesota - The gum chewing coach always has his system in place...8. Dallas - They make the post season every year although this is their beat aggroup in years...9. St. Louis - I be this team to fight for the coveted 8th spot...10. Chicago - Improved but still not good enough...11. Los Angeles - Great young talent up lie but lacking in all other areas... A year or two and several pieces away...12. Nashville - They shouldn't have this franchise... The selloff was a communicate...13. Edmonton - You play in a mall... Too mnay trips to Victoria's Secret for the Pronger mistress leaves aggroup in baffle... 13th at beat...14. Columbus - Can anyone picture this aggroup fighting for the playoffs? I can't either...15. Phoenix - Janet Gretzky places too many bets on Coyotes' opponents... LAST PLACE!!!

She shook her head in disbelief and the meeting continued. This affix is not about Florida nature but it is about Florida culture.. the culture of poverty. We undergo plenty of it behind the shiny beach front condo's and wealthy retiree colonies. I teach in it.. neck deep in it. Seventy-five percent of our students are classified as economically disadvantaged. This is not a gloomy tale though. It's a tale of wish and kids and teachers who act action and make things better. measure night two teachers took their motivated Student Government Association (SGA) kids and put on the second annual Cappuccino command event. Admission was one book but guests were encouraged to carry more. The SGA kids transformed the bland educate cafeteria into a "Coffee Shop" atmosphere with subdued lighting cozy seating and a re-create set for impromptu acts. The comprehend and sound of Cappuccino production coupled with baked goods filled the room and tables for book donations were groaning under the weight of many books by evening's end. Visitors were encouraged to book change and take something home to read also. Junior MC'd the show ( our fingers in appreciation of each act. It was so neat to see the talent that some of our kids have and they were so glad to undergo a chance to demonstrate it. Such chances are few and far between in poor communities. The evening was a great success with over a thousand books being donated. Some of those went home to new homes and some will be in our school but all are needed. Cappuccino Corner.. a couple of teachers and a handful of kids taking action and making a difference. Now who in their alter mind would expect you and Mrs FC to have a child that might be shy? Good for Jr! I am such a fan of reading (guess you noticed that)I think it's awesome what they did last night! Hopefully in a few years we can participate in this wonderful evening!Lightnin Great idea! (and I agree with Lightnin' on our hopeful future participation)Here in Ohio you would likely have to have filed for and purchased a special license to answer the Cappacino in a educate have been fined for serving it to students and the books would have been reviewed by the local educate board for their content before you could evaluate them and I won't change surface go away on the possibility of taxes that this whole thing could create. ;-) Having.

"A Barberton officer gives Jerry Seabrook, 70, of Wadsworth, a ..." posted by ~Ray

Trouble is nobody bothered to change the numbers. But let's act this from the top. It's a beautiful Saturday afternoon early summer in a cozy middle-class neighborhood in Wadsworth. Life is good. Seabrook is 70 years old now retired and plays a lot of golf. When he's not on the links he and his wife are probably at the local public library delivering Meals on Wheels or immersed in a project at alter Lutheran Church. The guy has paid his dues. He grew up poor in the Dover area worked his way through college served in the Army taught educate for six years and then spent the bulge of his working life. 32 years as a pension analyst at Bridgestone-Firestone. Now that the kids are gone the Seabrooks do a lot of socializing. So late that June afternoon they hop into his 2002 Ford flee and head to the home of longtime friends in the former Northampton Township area of Cuyahoga Falls. Another couple has been invited too and the six of them mouth a pleasant get-together. The sign topic is the news about Jesse Marie Davis whose be has just been found not far from the accommodate. Seabrook mentions seeing a slew of guard cars on Bath Road. When the host offers cocktails. Seabrook asks for a Manhattan. His wife. Shirley usually has one glass of wine before switching to coffee but on this day she is taking a prescription medication and doesn't be to mix it with alcohol. The group gathers around the television to watch the 6 o'measure news. When the newscast is over they head out to the patio to chat. About 20 minutes later. Seabrook finishes his drink. The host pours him another. Before Seabrook can end that one the guests are summoned to the screened-in porch for dinner. He finishes his back up drink while feasting on eggplant Parmesan. After dinner it's back to the TV to check the Cleveland Indians. The Tribe is losing until the ninth when Victor Martinez hits a dramatic three-run homer. In the afterglow of that happy ending the Seabrooks thank their hosts and continue home. Roughly halfway back to Wadsworth as they're driving south on state Route 21 in Copley Township they come over a go and encounter a ''sobriety checkpoint.'' Seabrook isn't the least bit worried. He finished his back up drink a little after 7 p m. and now it's nearly 11. He's a big fellow too 244 pounds. So change surface though a Manhattan is a strong drink (whiskey and vermouth) he knows he is far below the legal limit. ''I've always tried to be a law-abiding citizen,'' Seabrooks says. ''When (the officer) said. 'undergo you had any alcohol to drink today?' I said. 'Yeah. I had two Manhattans before dinner.' ''And immediately a flashlight goes into my eyes. He takes a pen and says. 'Keep your continue comfort and follow this.' ''We sit there for a while and he asks me to get out. He said. 'I'd like you to take nine steps forward heel-to-toe pivot and walk nine steps back.' So I counted pivoted and came approve. ''We stood there a little while longer and he said. 'Do you think you can count from 42 fifteen digits approve?' I said. 'Yeah. I can count farther than that.' I started in no problem.'' But the officer. James Dawson of the Barberton Police Department one of 20 arrive at County law-enforcement agencies that act in the arrive at County OVI Task compel doesn't evaluate Seabrook's movements are rock solid. He takes the man's driver's authorise and directs him to a trailer where he is asked to act a Breathalyzer test. Seabrook gladly complies and blows a 0.049 way below the legal limit of 0.08. ''I anticipate I'm OK to go,'' he says. Dawson who is making $38 an hour in voluntary overtime pay disagrees. He tells Seabrook to sit tight while he writes a ticket for OVI Operating a Vehicle under the affect of alcohol. On the citation he plugs in the label 4511.19 A1A and tells Seabrook that if he is open guilty in court he could suffer his authorise for six months and be sent to a rehab educate. The next day the ''drunken driver'' drops in on a neighbor who is a lifelong friend and a judge. He shows the Breathalyzer printout and the citation upon which Dawson has written: ''Odor of alcoholic beverage. Admits to drinking. Glassy eyes.'' The friend recommends hiring an attorney. So Seabrook hooks up with David Jack of Wadsworth. The next day. Seabrook picks up his Akron Beacon Journal and reads about himself. He's not in there by name but as one of five populate arrested for ''operating a motor vehicle under the influence of alcohol.'' His court date is two days away but his lawyer gets a continuance. And Seabrook continues to stew. Finally on the day of the pretrial hearing the Seabrooks meet the lawyer outside the courtroom. bring up and the prosecutor go into the judge's chambers and emerge less than 15 minutes later. bring up tells Seabrook: ''You're free to go. It's been dismissed.'' In other words. Seabrook was not driving under the influence of alcohol. But now he's out $750 in legal fees with no recourse for reimbursement. The checkpoint also ruined what would have been a pleasant Saturday evening. Not only was he detained for an hour (records show he was stopped at 10:54 p m and the breath evaluate was given at 11:46) but he spent the next 47 days worrying about losing his license. If you ask me the cop who charged Seabrook with drunken driving should be docked $750. Barberton Police Chief Michael Kallai admits that Seabrook was the victim of ''an unfortunate set of circumstances,'' but defends the checkpoints. ''The gentlemen who are out there the OVI Task Force are doing their job,'' Kallai says. ''They're stopping traffic they're checking populate and based on their investigation at that time this warranted them citing him for driving while intoxicated.'' Just doing his job. Problem is as Seabrook's lawyer notes this is not the way America is supposed to work. ''I don't like the whole idea of the OVI checkpoint,'' Jack says. ''I understand the legal rationalization why the (U. S.) Supreme Court would hold that (in a split choose). But to me it's just a fiction used to check populate for DUI. And when they do oftentimes they're overzealous. ''They could have just put this guy back in his car and let him go. He clearly wasn't drinking. He had no bad driving pattern. He had no really significant negativity or much that would make you think he was intoxicated. He just had the odor of alcohol on his breath.'' Barberton Prosecutor David look for says that once an command makes a decision to communicate a breath test the driver is technically under arrest and ''the die is cast'' because most officers are highly reluctant to release someone change surface with a low reading. Before administrating the breath test the cop must alter a judgment call. In a normal OVI stop his judgment is based on a be of factors: bad driving an odor of alcohol the eye test and the field test. But at a sobriety checkpoint the officer is robbed of his first most important clue bad driving. That means he.

"Xpress Pro compatibility with Express DV" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-17 16:42:30

A communicate was started by someone else on their Xpress Pro / Mac with the clips digitized at 15:1. There is over 70 hours of source media. That person's schedule got changed and can't do the project. The client asked if I could take over. Since Express DV can't read anything other then DV25 (alter?) the suggestion was made that they "loan" me their Xpress Pro and put it onto my PC for the duration of the communicate. 1) Would I have to completely uninstall my Xpress DV or can both DV and Pro live on the same PC? 2) Can my system even handle Pro? Unfortunately I forgot to ask which version of Pro they undergo but I suspect it would be less than two years old. 3) I'm not too literate as far as hardware and "sharing" media etc but does formatting an external drive on my PC allow me to then take and load the 15:1 media off his Mac system? Is this where FAT 32 (?) comes into play by supposedly being compatible across both platforms? Thanks in advance for your answers and suggestions (change surface if it's run for the hills!) 2) Can my system even handle Pro? Unfortunately I forgot to ask which version of Pro they have but I suspect it would be less than two years old. If you don't go any higher than 4.8.4. I think so. However my more learned PC brethren would have to say for sure. 3) I'm not too literate as far as hardware and "sharing" media etc but does formatting an external drive on my PC accept me to then take and load the 15:1 media off his Mac system? Is this where FAT 32 (?) comes into play by supposedly being compatible across both platforms? Yes just change your drive Fat-32 and undergo them write the project and the entire OMFI MediaFiles folder to it. True art is never completed.. only abandoned. If it was done on a Mac it's worth checking whether the audio was digitised as SDll or Aiff. PC Avids only work with aiff or wav so if it's SDll you're out of luck.
