Don't just root for the Raptors because they are from Toronto, they have some top notch players and are pretty competitive. I think they will make it to the second round of the Eastern Conference Playoffs this upcoming season.

 

Raps are 2 games out of first in the Eastern Conference, home court advantage if they meet the Cavs. Theme in the NBA is two experienced scoring guards and you have a chance.

Old school players are really beating-up on Steph Curry saying he would not have been as good in an earlier era, I disagree. Basketball was pretty hands-on in the Jordan era so let's go there. How tough and good was the Answer (Allen Iverson)? Curry compares with the Answer but is bigger, stronger, shoot just as good around the basket, has better handles, and blows Iverson away when shooting outside 18 ft. So how valid is the old school argument now that the sport is hands-off, in the hands-on era Curry would have just been a better Iverson.

Don't take this wrong I think steph is exceptional but back in the day he would be out with a lot more sprained ankles. Today's rules helps the shooter (so they don't come down on the defenders feet)

Today's rules helps the shooter (so they don't come down on the defenders feet)

Not entirely accurate. A shooter can come down on a defenders feet while the defender is straight up and down, no foul either way. But if the defender walked into the shooter while in the air, yes that's a rule change because the shooter has to be able to land in a fairly straight-up shooting position. But if there is a weak spot on Curry, it's the ankles.

      Cold start Miss, oil in cylinder

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Can you sample the pooled liquid, enough to confirm it is oil?   ...That its not fuel or coolant.   Also, make sure combustion gases aren't entering the cooling system.   Simply put, either oil being pushed up past the rings (this really isn't possible), oil leaking past the head gasket, oil leaking past the valve, oil entering through the intake air path. If none of this is likely - it may not be oil.   What could be likely is the fuel injector leaking down. A puddle of gas would still smoke and rough idle. (Same cylinder has the same problem after injector replacement?)   What is the crank time first thing in the morning, when the puddle would be present? Does it seem like the high pressure fuel pump needs an extra second or two to rebuild the pressure that injector 8 may have let bleed off? Check the fuel pressure via a scanner prior to starting the engine.

      Good information!  I didn't know about the dementia aspect and asked for a general for my second knee. I'd heard that recovery room time is usually shorter with a general.   The anesthesiologist talked me out of it and I had the spinal.  Inconvenience and/or discomfort is a small price to pay for reduced risk!

      This is for those over 70 years of age contemplating joint replacement surgery involving general anesthesia. Even some 55 yrs. ago when I took my pharmacology class the dangers of developing dementia in the elderly that had general anesthesia were beginning to be recognized. Over the years there has been some refinement in the cautionary warnings, avoid general anesthesia if possible if you've had close to 10 priors, especially over the age of 70 and/or a family history of dementia. I'm not including the twilight anesthesia induced by propofol often used in cytoscopies or colonscopies. Seriously think about seeing a neurologist and undergo cognitive testing before proceeding if any of those criteria apply to you. Spinal anesthesia may be an option in some cases. I'm in the above camp and although I could use a new right knee, I get fidgety according to a prior orthopedic surgeon when the bone saw spools up or maybe it was the smell of saw blade meeting bone, anyhow I may have one general anesthesia left in me which I will pocket for now and I'm choosing mind over mobility, anyway where did I leave my damn cane!
