Q: How can I complete a column with a function with a key of another column I'm trying to calculate a weighted average for thousands of students.
I can do this for individual learners in turn (SUM PRODUCTS).
The problem is I don't know how to do this for thousands of students at the same time.
Each student has a different number of grades, and each grade has a different weight.
All I found was sorting the data according to the Student Code. And trying to make the given formula count for me as long as the key is the same, it repeats itself.
Please help how I can do this

A: There's AT LEAST two easy ways to do it. Both "filter" for values desired, then do the arithmetic.
One is straightforward and uses the SUMPRODUCT() you look to be happy with, but performs filtering on the list of values in order to choose appropriate items to work upon. It uses FILTER() to choose the rows that qualify, then uses FILTER() again to choose the columns from the inner FILTER()'s results:
=SUMPRODUCT(  FILTER(  FILTER(B1:D12, B1:B12=I1),  {0,1,0}),  FILTER(  FILTER(B1:D12, B1:B12=I1),  {0,0,1}))

The formula, as presented, assumes a lookup entry cell of I1 for the student to look up. And of course, the ranges for the columns would be thousands, not 12.
However, for working with "THOUSANDS" one can simply use as much of column I as needed, just changing the address to a range. OR, if one (as seems likely), also means "All" when saying "thousands" one can use UNIQUE() with its third parameter set as FALSE to extract a list of single instances of each student name that is in those "thousands." However, even if creating that array, it seems one cannot just use I1# to capture the whole result. I believe this to be due to the differing lengths of the lookup range and the shorter output of UNIQUE().
FILTER() actually creates a list of TRUE/FALSE results for the rows included in it. The "trick" here is that you get the columns you desire by directly typing that list (for example: {0,1,0} to select the 2nd column). A time when hardcoding is actually useful, though you can definitely create those arrays in ways that let the formula be dynamic. Just no need ever, here.
Bear in mind, one could use INDEX() to select the columns to use for SUMPRODUCT()'s arrays. Personally, I think this is easier, but there's not a lot of difference.
So much for fancy. A more old-school method, one that will work with fairly old versions of Excel, just do range comparisons to "filter" the data  and present it to SUMPRODUCT():
=SUMPRODUCT(  IF(B1:B12=I1, C1:C12, 0),  IF(B1:B12=I1, D1:D12, 0)  )

Each array in the function is supplied by the IF()'s which simply compare the lookup range to the column I cell for the row (yes, neither approach will be SPILL formulas so you must copy down as far as the UNIQUE() in column I extends) and return the two columns data into the function's parameters.
Direct, clear and simple, easy to understand and maintain over the years. Should be fast since it uses simple TRUE/FALSE tests, not functions. Neither approach uses SPILL functionality in their SUMPRODUCT() column so no edge there to either.
But this one uses only functionality that you a clearly familiar with so why not?
And actually, the obnoxious part, making a list of the unique students, uses SPILL so that task works nicely as well.

Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini has spoken about his admiration for Barcelona midfielder Sergio Busquets along with their arch rivals transfer target, Sergio Ramos. Manchester United have been linked with the Real Madrid defender over the last few weeks.
They are reported to have made a £ 30 million offer for the defender. This has been rejected by the Spanish club, but the latest statements by Pellegrini hint that City could enter into the race for Ramos. After all, the Etihad stadium outfit will be free from any FFP regulations from this season. Further, they are also in need of top quality centre backs after failing to win any title last season.
Ramos' camp has shown enough encouragement for an offer from United and there is a possibility that he could join City as well. Hijacking the transfer target of United will now be easier for City than in previous years when they did not have the power to compete with the illustrious rivals. Another player whom Pellegrini has mentioned is Busquets, who does not appear to be going anywhere. In fact, the Barcelona midfielder has spoken about his ambition to enter into a coaching career at some time in the future.
"Neymar, (Luis) Suarez, (Sergio) Busquets, (Andres) Iniesta and Sergio Ramos are others on a very high level.In Spain are the best teams in the world. But the best is the English league," said Pellegrini. The Chilean is someone who knows these Spanish players extremely well after having managed them for a single season at Real Madrid. In fact, this relationship could help him get the edge over United in terms of signing Ramos. Real have indicated that they want around £ 60 million for the defender and it is highly unlikely that clubs will be prepared to pay the amount for a 29-year-old.

Kate Marley knelt on the neck of a young rescued horse that, minutes before, had been altered from stallion to gelding.
With the horse laid flat-out under general anesthesia, Marley adjusted a surgical towel protecting the animal's eyes from abrasion and light stimulus. She checked his gum color, a sign of circulation. She held a palm over his nostrils, the field doctor's way of monitoring breathing. She stroked his velvet muzzle.
"Doing all right up there, Kate?" asked Nigel Miller, a fellow veterinary student. He paused while examining the incision between the horse's legs to confirm that the patient was well sedated.
The students were in a group of three Colorado State University veterinarians and eight fourth-year trainees castrating young stallions at the Dumb Friends League Harmony Equine Center near Franktown, Colorado, south of Denver. Just one month ago, the rehabilitation center accepted 59 abused and neglected mares and stallions that authorities had seized among more than 200 American Quarter Horses from a farm in Conroe, Texas, north of Houston.
After the seizure in June, the Houston Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals spent several weeks on triage, then dispersed the rescued horses to centers designed for intensive rehabilitation. Harmony Equine Center is one such rehabilitation facility: a pristine collection of fenced pastures, barns and arenas equipped to nurse and train rescued horses so they may be successfully adopted by responsible, caring owners.
Feed is job one. Since arriving at Harmony in September, the horses from Texas have gained an average of 100 pounds each, a startling sign of just how malnourished they were. Next are hoof and dental care, so the horses are comfortable, can eat and may be trained to ride. Then halter breaking, a key step in socialization.

Virgin Galactic's SpaceShipTwo Makes 1st Test Flight of Revamped Re-Entry System
By Irene Klotz 01 May 2017

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. - Virgin Galactic's second SpaceShipTwo took to the skies over Mojave, California, Monday (May 1) for the first test flight of the craft's atmospheric re-entry system, which was modified after a fatal test flight in 2014 destroyed the original ship.
"It was a great day here in Mojave," Virgin Galactic Chief Executive George Whitesides wrote in an email to Space.com.
The new spaceship, called VSS Unity, took off beneath the White Knight Two carrier aircraft around 10:40 a.m. local time, 1:40 p.m. EDT (1740 GMT) from the Mojave Air and Space Port for the spacecraft's fourth glide flight. [Watch: Virgin Galactic Performs Glide Test with Unity]
About 40 minutes later, with pilots Mark Stucky and Mike Masucci at the controls, Unity was released at an altitude of about 51,000 feet (15,550 meters) to begin its fourth unpowered glide test-flight.

Once operational, SpaceShipTwo is designed to take up to six paying passengers and two pilots on short, suborbital flights beyond the atmosphere. Virgin Galactic is selling tickets at $250,000 per seat.
The primary goal of Monday's flight was to test the ship's revamped re-entry system, which pivots the vehicle's twin tail booms up over the fuselage, providing more surface area and a capsule-like shape for a slower, safer plunge through the atmosphere.
The first SpaceShipTwo, called Enterprise, was destroyed during a powered test flight on Oct. 31, 2014, due to a premature release of the locking mechanism that pins the ship's tail back until atmospheric forces can do the job.

The ship — built and tested by Virgin Galactic's partner at the time, Scaled Composites — broke apart midair, killing one Scaled test pilot and seriously injuring another.
The National Transportation Safety Board, which investigated the incident, determined that the locking system holding the ship's tail in place lacked safeguards to prevent an early deployment and that the pilots were not properly trained.
The so-called "feather" re-entry system was modified on VSS Unity to include a "control inhibit" that preventsan inadvertent early release.
"The flight today successfully tested the feather system in flight for the first time on the VSS Unity airframe, though it had been tested many times on the ground," Whitesides said.
"Our new control inhibit for the feather was installed and active, as it has been on prior flight tests. It is designed to prevent applying the feather system early. As planned, during today's flight, the vehicle wasn't in conditions to need the inhibit.
"Overall, the test met all objectives, and we're now looking forward to taking the next step in the flight-test program," Whitesides said.
He last week said at a congressional hearing that he expects commercial passenger service to be underway at Virgin before the end of 2018.

Q: Prevent BibTeX from printing the "and" word before final author's name I'd like BibTeX to print authors' names in the following fashion:
S. Bouabdallah, A. Noth, R. Siegwart
For that to happen, according to what I've read already, the .bib code should look like below:
@inproceedings{BouabdallahPID,
    author = {Bouabdallah, S. and Noth, A. and Siegwart, R.},
    keywords = {quad},
    location = {Sendai, Japan},
    pages = {2451--2456},
    title = {{PID vs LQ control techniques applied to an indoor micro quadrotor}},
    year = {2004}
}

Instead, BibTeX keeps including the "and" word before last author's name, i.e.:
S. Bouabdallah, A. Noth, and R. Siegwart
How do I get rid of the "and" word?
I've tried alpha, plain, ams and acm styles so far, which made no difference, hence assumed style doesn't change this behavior, but may be wrong on this one. I'd like to stay with plain, though.

A: If you're using the plain bibliography style, you could proceed as follows to get BibTeX to replace the " and " connector between the penultimate and ultimate author names with a simple comma:

*

*Make a copy of the file plain.bst and name it, say, myplain.bst. Do not directly edit/modify an existing file that comes with a TeX distribution.

*Open the file myplain.bst in your favorite text editor and search for the function format.names. (It starts on l. 185 in my system's copy of plain.bst.) In the code of this function, look for the following lines (likely lines 195-201):
    { numnames #2 >
        { "," * }
        'skip$
      if$
      t "others" =
        { " et~al." * }
        { " and " * t * }

*Modify the first and last of these lines so that the lines of code look like this:
    { numnames #1 >
        { "," * }
        'skip$
      if$
      t "others" =
        { " et~al." * }
        { " " * t * }

I.e., change #2 to #1 on the first line, and " and " to " " on the last line of this group. It's necessary to make both modifications to get the proper treatment regardless of the number of authors -- as long as the number is greater than 1, of course.

*Save the file, update your TeX distribution's filename database as needed, and start invoking the new bibliography style with the command \bibliographystyle{myplain}.
Happy BibTeXing!

A: When using jurabib, it works the following way:
\renewcommand*{\jbbtasep}{, } % bta = between two authors sep
\renewcommand*{\jbbfsasep}{, } % bfsa = between first and second author sep
\renewcommand*{\jbbstasep}{, }% bsta = between

I have yet to find out how it is done with plain, though.
EDIT:
I just read the plain styles documentation -- not the whole, obviously -- as to be found on CTAN. In lines 683-714 the function for the name formatting is described (as far as I understood it). It says:
format.names(s) ==
%  BEGIN
%       nameptr := 1
%       numnames := num.names$(s)
%       namesleft := numnames
%       while namesleft > 0
%         do
%                               % for full names:
%           t := format.name$(s, nameptr, "{ff~}{vv~}{ll}{, jj}")
%                               % for abbreviated first names:
%           t := format.name$(s, nameptr, "{f.~}{vv~}{ll}{, jj}")
%           if nameptr > 1 then
%               if namesleft > 1 then nameresult := nameresult * ", " * t
%               else if numnames > 2
%                      then nameresult := nameresult * ","
%                    fi
%                    if t = "others"
%                      then nameresult := nameresult * " et~al."
%                      else nameresult := nameresult * " and " * t
%                    fi
%               fi
%           else nameresult := t
%           fi
%           nameptr := nameptr + 1
%           namesleft := namesleft - 1
%         od
%       return nameresult
%  END

It seems like the else nameresult := nameresult * " and " * t would have to be transformed to else nameresult := nameresult * ", " * t in order to achieve what you want to achieve.
Therefore, you would probably have to create your own new style based on the plain style with just this part changed.
This Blogpost by "Dr. K-Lo" might also be helpful.

A: Thanks for your answer. I just want to add a comment for new users:
The file myplain.bst must be in the same folder as your parent .tex file. If you have your work splitted in several .tex files, (e.g. in a thesis), you have to put the .bst file in the same folder as your non-parent .tex file.
Example

*

*Parent tex file: thesis/thesis.tex

*Chapters' path: thesis/chapters/introduction.tex, thesis/chapters/abstract.tex, thesis/chapters/results.tex ...

Then the path of myplain.bst has to be thesis/chapters/myplain.bst.
You have to compile bibliography and PDF file at least twice in order to print the references without "and" word.
This worked for me.

I love the confidence that Zacharie exudes when YouTubing. I've been threatening him for weeks that we would create a YouTubing studio in the basement, and Black Friday was time to pay up on the promise.
Zacharie and I went out to Best Buy on one of the busiest days of the year to pick out some gear for his burgeoning YouTube career.
He's not the best reader, school has been a struggle, but I love his growing confidence presenting to the camera. I've often found random videos on iPods and iPads lying around the house, so he's really getting into being a presenter. I'm encouraging it by editing up his The Zacharie Show videos, and today we went to Best Buy to get the next level of gear.
Here's Z checking out the gear at Best Buy, and unboxing a GoPro Hero4 Silver!
Black Friday is a weekend long event, so check out BestBuy.ca for more details and .. don't forget Cyber Monday!
1. Find a Smart Friend to help you. This time of year they're also called Blue Shirt Elves. Sara helped Zacharie pick out his gear. She was awesome. Friendly, knowledgable, and worked with what we were looking for.
2. Look for Brand Ambassadors with specific knowledge on individual product lines. In addition to the Blue Shirts, Apple, Microsoft, Samsung, HP, LG, and others have their own staff in store offering advice.
3. Shop around and use the price match guarantee. They will match prices and beat them by 10%, online or in store. I found a microphone kit for less on the Best Buy website in the US, Sara said she would match it. Boom.
4. Try them out. Best Buy has all the gear out so you can try it and make sure it's what you want. Best Buy wants you to walk out of the store understanding exactly how to use what you've just bought. So take the time to let them teach you.
5. Best Buy staff is not on commission. They will suggest the product you need. The tripod Zacharie needs for YouTubing is just $12, as per the Blue Shirt Elves, making sure I didn't spend more than I needed.
Disclosure: I was invited to visit Best Buy and received a gift card during my visit. My words and review of the experience are my own.


Although fake tickets are often a customer's main concern when purchasing from the secondary market, fewer than one percent of orders are subject to fraud.* The reason being: sellers don't make any money when they sell fake tickets. In fact, they lose money! But let's not get ahead of ourselves. Keep reading to get the 101 on what makes a ticket invalid, how you can avoid it from happening, and what to do if it does.
It should be mentioned that when a "ticket" becomes invalid, what we're really talking about is the barcode on the ticket. That's what gets scanned upon entering an event. Without getting into too much detail, here are the two most likely reasons why that would happen.
The most common reason for a ticket being invalid is that the broker inadvertently sold it twice. For instance, Joe the Seller decides to list his Adele ticket on SeatGeek and then turn around and list it on UberSeat. Two separate customers could then purchase the same ticket around the same time. Since each ticket barcode can only be used once to enter an event, one of those tickets will not work at the gate. The buyer who happens to arrive second will not be able to enter with the same ticket.
Most ticketing companies (like SeatGeek) make sellers agree that they will not list their inventory on more than one website in order to avoid double-selling. Any honest, intelligent broker will cancel the double-sold order as soon as they can, and notify the customer within a few hours, leaving them plenty of time to make a second ticket order. SeatGeek also imposes penalties on sellers who break this rule, so double-selling is exceedingly rare. Sellers want to avoid fines just as much as buyers want to get into their events!
We've all seen the sketchy men dressed in all black hawking tickets outside of popular sold-out shows. They'll generally be charging a hefty price (much higher than face value) and the whole thing feels a bit…shady. That's because it is! Never buy tickets from somebody who doesn't look like they could also be going to the same show. Snagging tickets from a dude standing outside the venue is a huge gamble. Scalper tickets could work just fine, but if they don't, getting your money back is impossible.
So now that we've thoroughly freaked you out about your fake ticket, here are a few steps you can take to ensure this doesn't happen to you.
Don't wait until the last minute to download your e-ticket. Once it gets sent to your email (usually right after purchase or at least one week before the event), download it, review it, and make sure it looks accurate. This will give you enough time to contact the people you bought it from in case there are issues. FYI, the name on the ticket will almost never be your name when you purchase it using a site like SeatGeek. But no worries–you won't be asked for ID when entering the venue, and the name will cause you no trouble at all. The name printed on a ticket does not have to be your name for you to get in.
Although you should avoid suspicious street sellers, there are usually many normal people standing in line trying to rid themselves of extras outside a show. If you do decide to buy from somebody attending the concert, ask them to come with you to the box office so you can both confirm the validity of the ticket together.
When purchasing tickets from the secondary market (i.e. not from the official ticket source), the best advice we can give you is to use your best judgement and read the fine print. Is the ticket behind the stage, is it for the correct game or show day, does it look similar to the ticket your friend has? Are you paying $20 for a Super Bowl ticket? Because you might have accidentally bought a parking pass instead. Shop around to see what's already on the market so that you can make an educated purchase.
Although the venue won't be able to tell if your barcode is valid or not, they can confirm the section, seat number and show start time for you. If you review your ticket and are suspicious of its details, this may be a good option.
OK, so let's just pretend that you're the less-than-one-percent person who had the misfortune of being sold a fake or invalid ticket. Here's what you can do–this instant!–to get your booty in the door.
2. If the event is still listed on SeatGeek, you can purchase another ticket with the knowledge that you will be refunded for the original purchase. If the show is not sold out, purchase a ticket through the box office with the knowledge that you will be refunded for the original purchase.
3. If your vendor was not SeatGeek, the first step would be to call that vendor to report the issue. A full list of vendors can be found here.
4. Lastly, if your ticket doesn't work, make sure you get any possible documentation of that from the venue. This will assure you are able to get your money back quickly when you reach out to the team.
At the end of the day, chances are your ticket is totally legit. You know why? Because most people working as a broker are doing it as a way to make money, and continually selling invalid tickets will tarnish their reputation and inevitably cause them to lose money. When tickets don't work, not only will the seller not receive any payment, but they will be forced to pay back more than the original sale price of the ticket. Plus, once a seller has been shown to be problematic, they're flagged with whatever vendor they've sold the fake ticket through and can no longer sell on that website.
At SeatGeek, our goal is to get you into the event you paid to attend, period. You put your trust in us, and in exchange, we make sure you have a great time and don't have to worry about the validity of your tickets.

View Full Version : Need Help! cut2d tool compensation is incorrect?!
I just started using cut2d, and when I cut holes (inside radius for the tool path) they are always smaller than specified. For example, I have a hole which is .07" wide, and a tool (physical) width of .0375. If I use that tool width in cut2d, my hole ends up .065 instead of .07.
So... I have to enter a tool diameter of .0275. When I do this, my hole comes out at .07".
Question is why did I have to tell it my tool is .01" smaller, to get the correct size hole?? It doesn't even make sense, because since the offset happens on both sides of the hole changing the tool diameter by .01" should also change the hole diameter by .01", but it doesn't, it changes it by .005!!
It seems like it is not correctly compensating for tool width, or it is trying to add an additional offset.
This has been driving me crazy all night, lots of wasted material before I figured out what was going on.
I am using EMC, but there is no EMC post processor, so I have been using G-Code Arcs (inches).
It's probably your machine cutting too small. Check the code to see if it's correct.
Hmmm looked at the G-Code for a simple square and it seems correct. Unfortunately the part I am cutting is so complex reading the G-code would take forever, so that is out.
The only thing I can think of is that there was a slight change in dimensions when I imported the DXF.
How can I scale the DXF based on one dimension? I've only seen the measure tool which seems fairly difficult to do accurately (depending on whether you click on the line or over one pixel).
1) My tool diameter is .0375 at the flutes, but I can somehow cut slots .036. That's right, SMALLER than the tool diameter!!?!? I'm cutting G10 so I am wondering if it's just due to the material? I thought my micrometer was wrong until I pushed the tool into the slot and it didn't actually fit very well. Bizarre. While the tool measures .0375, I had to drop the size to .029 in cut2d to get correct sized slots.
I am using a diamond cutter (flute shape not material).
2) If the above oddity with the cutter isn't isn't due to the material, then I am assuming I have some backlash I need to take care of, which is why my tool size needs to be adjusted. Will check for this too.
Never had a problem until I started using these new bits... which I find strange.
If you are cutting plastic, plastic is elastic and will not cut to size. Also what kind of machine are you using? it's possible the problem is machine/lash related.
Hmm I cut the same slots vertically (instead of horizontally) and got the same measurements. Since my X and Y axis are completely different (one is acme screw on a rail and the other is rack and pinion) I think I can rule out backlash as the problem.
Would G10 spring back after being cut? I don't remember having this issue last time I cut G10, but I was using a different brand of cutter.
You could be getting tool deflection. Try cutting at slower speeds, or in the opposite direction.
Ahhh I just noticed that the default cut direction is "climb" rather than conventional (seems odd that conventional is not the default), and that is the direction it's been cutting. This could have something to do with my problem, as it would remove less material.
Ok, well I have concluded that the problem is not cut2d. Sorry Vectric!!
I think it's a tool issue... moving this to another forum.
The slots are wider at the top where the tool passes twice as it steps down, and narrower at the bottom where the tool has passed once, with no finishing cut. This only seems to be an issue with something like G10 which isn't really cut but is torn.
The only way around this I guess is to do a larger cut in a single pass.
That stinks... it almost makes the software useless for what I am doing, which is ALL 2D CUTS.
Sounds like machine or tool flex. All the passes should be coded exactly the same. If the cut's are different, it's not Cut2D's fault.
Sounds very much as if you simply need to add your own 'finish' cut? Just drop in an extra full depth profile cut after creating the basic hole just to tidy up the edges.
Hello, I am also having problems with the cut2d software, I draw my parts I need to build with on auto cad and the parts alway's are to small or to large?

When did Germany lose the war?
Discussion in 'WWII General' started by David Scott, Sep 30, 2011.
David Scott Member
When was the war lost for the Germans?:
1) When they invaded the Soviet Union
2) The turn south early in the Russian campaign rather than driving on to Moscow
3) Germany's declaration of war on the United States
4) HItler's gross interference and mismanagement in Case Blue resulting in Stalingrad
5) Kursk
6) Some other point

How about when Hitler siezed power? The combination of his economic and political programs set Germany on a road to disaster that would have required someome far more competent and less idealogically oriented to prevent.

Well, I understand your point, but one can wax even more philosophical than that and answer: "When Hitler's father's sperm won the race to Hitler's mother's egg."
I listed five salient events of the war in chronological order and was asking if Germany still could have achieved victory in the wake of each one, or if not at which of these points the situation became such that no matter what the Germans did they could no longer achieve victory. Some perhaps might position another point in the war that I did not list.

While working with an ex german soldier in the 70's I asked the same question
He said "when Hitler declared war on the U.S." He knew they were done.

I would argue at that point many options were still open. Once Hitler was in firm control the train wreck was in motion. Perhaps removing him in the mid 30's would have avoided it but even that is questionable the political, diplomatic, and economic conditions were all pointing to a crissis prior to 41.
In order to answer the question needs to be refined considerably.
1) Are you differentiating the Germans and the Nazis?
2) What do you consider a victory?
3) What can change? For instance Hitler thought that after the initial assault on the Soviet Union the Soviet system would collapse. There was indeed some chance of this. He also thought that the British would want to come to terms after the fall of France. With Churchill at the helm that wasn't going to happen with other leaders perhaps. Then there are question of what would have happened if the German's had at least acted like liberaters when they attacked the USSR? Hardly something the Nazi's were capable of but still a question that has been debated.
rfear said:
That would have been my initial response as well. However, I believe that at the time of Pearl Harbor it might have still been possible for the Germans to have achieved victory in the Soviet Union; almost certainly to have achieved a favorable truce with Stalin. At that point, Hitler might have been persuaded by Raeder and others to pursue the Mediterranean strategy which might have forced the British to capitulate (retaining their home islands, which Hitler was never hell bent on conquering in the first place, and perhaps much of her colonial possessions—an offer Hitler repeatedly made to the U.K. after the fall of France) before the U. S. could have brought her forces to bear. With no base to mass forces in Europe, the U.S. might have bowed out of the European conflict and concentrated on the war against Japan. If Hitler refused to accept a truce with the U.S. (unless we also made one with Japan), then any war between Germany and the United States would have de facto become another "phony war" with little actual armed conflict beyond submarine warfare.
Nevertheless, Hitler's decision to actually (for once!) honor a treaty and declare war on the U.S. has to be the most monumentally stupid decision in the history of the world! To declare war on a potentially powerful foe whose homeland was so far away that one has no way to even attack it (save U-boat attacks in American waters) while the new enemy has the realistic potential to eventually invade one's own country (due to her naval and transport capabilities which Germany lacked) is so absurd as to almost defy understanding.
The irony was that the one time Hitler actually chose to honor a treaty, he was under no moral obligation to do so! Germany's treaty with Japan called for the two countries to come to each other's aid in the event of an attack. To call Pearl Harbor an attack by the United States upon Japan is incomprehensible. Japan was very little help to Germany throughout the war, while the United States became a formidable enemy. Japan refused to declare war on the U. S. S. R. which is what the Germans desperately needed.

Stalin and Hitler lost the war when British rescued their army and their soul at
Dunkirk. After that no accomodation of political means would be made with
Germany. Total war for the UK. Although she could not win the war, Britain could
not now lose the islands. The islands that would be necessary for the USA and
Britian and its commonwealth and other allies to do what they eventually did.
Germany declaring war on USA if there was no Britain around at that time would
have not been such a mistake. Stalins Red army where never then going to
take the whole of Europe in their own march at a later date. Without Britain, we wouldnt all be speaking German now as some like to say, more likely Russian.

His treaty with Japan didn't require that he declare war on the US, or any other nation. The terms only applied if the Japanese (or other Axis states) WERE attacked, not if they did the attacking. He didn't really "honor" a treaty, he warped it hoping he could get the Japanese to attack the Soviet Union in the far east.
As to when the Nazis began to see the whole thing unravel, I would still vote for the last month (the whole of it) of 1941. Not only did Hitler declare war on the US, the only time he ever declared war, his troops were attacked the day before (Dec. 6th) and thrown back from their gains in the first Soviet offensive. Until the time of the Casablanca Conference, and the declaration of "ONLY UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER" policy in Feb. of 1943, it might (repeat MIGHT) have been possible for Hitler to reach a negotiated peace in Europe. But he would have failed in his war aims, and probably not been long for the seat of power he had held up until December of 1941.
In terms of his war-making ability, from then on it was not "one win after another", but mostly loss and attempts at consolidation and defense. Almost without exception. Just my opinion of course, but it does appear to be nearly all "downhill" for the most part from early 1942 on.
Happy Trails,
Clint.

When was the war irrevocably lost for the Germans?:
With,or without hindsight?
Btw:irrevocably is superfluous,you have lost,or you have not lost .

Hitler controlled Germany and her military. Therefore, I fall to see a distinction.
I would define victory for Germany (i.e., Hitler) to have been the end of hostilities with Germany controlling most of European Russia and retaining their other conquests in Europe.
What could have changed is the point of my note. If the German military had been issued different orders than the ones it had been in fact, were there any alternative orders possible in the wake of the events I list (and possibly others that other people might position as the ultimate turning point) that would have secured victory for Germany, or had the situation been too far gone at the end of one (or all) of these events?
I would propose that by December of 1941 the possibility of a Nazi "win" was out of the picture, and it was the tipping point from which limiting loss was Germany's only option, and a negotiated peace was removed from the picture in Feb. of 1943. Again, this is using the lens of hindsight, but from this position in history it is the only lens we have.

My entire viewpoint of the Russian war (and FDR as well!) changed when I completed reading—oddly enough—works of historical fiction: Herman Wouk's masterpieces The Winds of War and War and Remembrance. For those who claim that Russia did little more in WWII than defend her own borders, Mr. Wouk's analysis might prove enlightening. The sacrifices the Russians were forced to make were mind-boggling and cast shame upon France's capitulation after the loss in blood of only a relative thimble compared to that of the U. S. S. R..
(Please bear in mind that I'm a Republican, conservative and a virulent anti-communist who considers Stalin to have been an historical monster at least on a par with Hitler. I am simply stating facts as I have come to see them.)
Much of FDR's and Churchill's strategy was to convince Stalin to keep on fighting at all costs and not to seek a separate peace, which at some point Hitler was certain to jump at. Had Hitler offered Stalin peace at the end of 1941, there is a good chance that Stalin might have agreed even at the expense of Hitler retaining some of his conquests. Therefore, I disagree that the German cause was irrevocably lost at the end of 1941. Their Blue offensive was powerful in the Summer of 1942 and might well have succeeded in landing a crippling blow to the U. S. S. R. had Hitler not botched matters with his dilettantish interference in the campaign.
Therefore, notwithstanding the tremendous respect I have for your knowledge and judgment (from reading several of your notes on this forum), I must disagree with you here (er, respectfully! (G))

Listen you impertinent wag! I'm an amateur writer (under a pen name) who winces whenever I see the words "safe haven" used in tandem. Therefore, it pains me—upon due contemplation—that I must concede that "irrevocably lost" is indeed superfluous, a consideration that had not heretofore occurred to me. Mea culpa!
As to your other point, yes in hindsight. As Clint has already noted, that is all we have at this point in time.
P. S. I am editing my initial note to reflect my newly found grammatical education which I (albeit reluctantly!) thank you for. (And by way of preemption, there is nothing wrong with ending a sentence with a preposition, regardless of what Sister St. Milk of Magnesia once pontificated regarding the subject in days of yore when I had been this adorable, towheaded parochial school tyke!)
The point here Dave is your question as to when the tide turned against Hitler and Germany. I posted my opinion using the lens of hindsight, which is all we can do today. I have no liking nor respect for Stalin, only for the peoples he controlled like a puppet master. They, the citizens of the Soviet Union defied the incursion of their western borders by the last of invaders of their nation (s).
They were not defending Stalin, nor Communism exactly when they did so. Defending their industry, homes and farms from another invader. Not supporting Stalin precisely.
And BTW, Churchill made the best defense of ending a sentence with a preposition when he was reprimanded by someone in the official press office. His dictate on that is priceless. See if you can find it, I would list it here but looking for it is half the fun.
As long as our Republican writer friend speaks in Ingleseee it matters little. Grammar police dont exist on this forum, thank God.

Hitler lost when he declared war upon the US. If Hitler had proposed a neutrality or non-aggression pact with the US in the immediate aftermath of Pearl harbor, FDR would have been hard pressed to rebuff him or get a declaration of war against Germany from Congress. The American public was angry at Japan and politically FDR would have had a hard time justifying weapons, fuel, material, logistical and naval support being allocated to the Soviets and Britain when they were needed by US troops to fight Japan. Britain in that case would have not been able to financially, or logistically lend support to the Soviet Union either.

I agree with Clint and Price. As soon as Hitler declared war on the US, he was finished, He was not required to do so with the terms of his treaty. There were plenty of people in the US who viewed Hitler (rightly or wrongly) as a bulwark against Communism. Had he stayed neutral, he had some public opinion on his side. Once he declared war on the US, the difference in what could be brought to bear was more than Germany could produce.

May well have been December 7th 1941...but this site has an interesting take.
When Did Hitler Lose The War ?
Victor Gomez Ace
I would add my observation as to when the war began to be lost......at first Hitler didn't target the Jews knowing an important part of the German recovering economy needed their input to keep up recovery of the economy. Despite the near genius of German designs and production, when he began to target and eliminate the Jews in his ideal society.......he became just a step short of what he needed in industry to continue to fight his enemies. His use of slave labor could not replace that which he destroyed in the German industrial machine. To the degree he attacked this element of society he also became equally short the productions he "could have had" to enlarge the industrial output his war effort so badly needed. Within reach were all the superior weaponry that could have made the difference if it had been better enabled.....with the full workforce Germany had in the beginning, but succeeded in destroying, thereby insuring his failure.
Victor Gomez, Sep 30, 2011

....a separate peace, which at some point Hitler was certain to jump at.
I'm not quoting you to be 'snitty', but the 'Hitler....was certain to' thinking was what trapped many politicians before and in the early stages of the War. Hitler's mental processes just didn't work along 'normal' lines. Germany would have been certain to jump at a separate peace.....but not necessarily Hitler. His 'thinking' remained remarkably consistent from Mein Kampf until he shot himself. Germany would either win on his terms or go under completely.
At some point, many top Nazis ( Goering, Ribbentrop, Goebbels and Himmler ) put out 'feelers' of one kind or another to other countries but Hitler remained unbending. For him, it was victory - or Gotterdammerung.
Back to your question ( which is something that can and will be argued ad infinitum ) but my own personal opinion is that the assault on the Soviet Union was the Great Divide for Hitler.
As an Englishman, I'd love to nominate the Battle of Britain and if I were American I'd go for December 1941. But really, to me, the moment those guns opened up on 22nd June 1941 changed the entire nature of the War. There was no stopping or going back.
Just my opinion..........

TRESSEL: Well, we needed to be the ones that had a 2-0 turnover margin. It's going to be tough to beat a good team like Wisconsin losing the turnover margin. And we also needed to do a much better job of keeping the ball and keeping our defense off the field, especially in the second half. I think the time of possession of the game was like 36 to 23 minutes, and you're not going to beat a good team with those kinds of indicators.
REPORTER: Jim, real quick, clarify what went on in that glob of players or whatever after the game was over, were they trying to dance on the W, or were you in the middle of it?
TRESSEL: I have no idea what they were trying to do, but I saw the two opposite color jerseys going at one another a little bit, and probably not very smartly I was in the middle of it without a helmet. But I don't know that there were any things done other than pushing and shoving, I think.
REPORTER: The replay in the game the second half when you apparently got a fumble and they went back on it upstairs, they discussed maybe giving you the ball and then they didn't, you may not have been aware of that, but how big an impact was that in the game overall, do you think?
TRESSEL: I don't know. It was irrelevant. When it was over, we still needed to stop them and go score some touchdowns and we didn't do those things, so for us to kid ourselves and say that was some kind of turning point or that was the difference, I don't know that that would be the right thing for us to view it as.
REPORTER: Coach, why was there such a lack of offensive production today?
TRESSEL: Probably a couple things. One, Wisconsin plays pretty good defense. Two, we probably didn't do as good a job hitting some open receivers as we could have. We had a nice drive going at one point in the first quarter and first down pass, had it caught and then fumbled it down in there, I don't know where we were, 20. So you can't do those things. You better do everything just right against someone like Wisconsin, and we didn't.
REPORTER: Is it the offense that concerns you most that you would reevaluate things or is it just an overall approach?
TRESSEL: Well, you know, we've been together a long time, Clay, you know everything concerns us. We work on everything and we don't work on any one thing less than the others, and our offensive people work 18 hours a day and so do our defensive people. So we're trying to get better at everything we do.
REPORTER: You're committed to Justin one way or the other? I mean, you went with him from start to finish the last couple of games.
TRESSEL: I think that was the right thing for us to do, at least in my opinion.
REPORTER: Jim, it looked like we saw some different looks and different plays on offense today. Was this a departure from what you've done offensively? Did you open it up and try some new things today and was that forced upon you essentially by the kind of defense you were playing?
TRESSEL: We didn't have any different run-blocking schemes than we've had all year. We had a couple different looks formation-wise, which is natural. If you go back to any one season, they're going to always give you a little bit of a change as things go, but one thing that we feel against any good defense, and as I said, Wisconsin is a good defense, is you better do a lot of different things because they're veterans, they've seen a lot of different looks, and if you think you're going to run the same thing all the time, you're going to be mistaken. We felt like we wanted to come in with a good balance in misdirection, misdirection run, and drop back pass, and some screen, and we just didn't do it enough in the second half to keep our defense off the field.
REPORTER: Coach, can you talk a little bit about Wisconsin was able to run the ball quite a bit. Can you talk about the status of Mike D'Andrea, are you allowed to talk about that at this point?
TRESSEL: Other than the fact that he's out for the year, I can't say what.
REPORTER: So that is confirmed that he's out for the year at this point?
REPORTER: Can you just speak to the general disappointment, obviously the win streak at home ending, starting 0-2 in the Big Ten.
TRESSEL: Well, I am speaking of that.
TRESSEL: Oh, could you. I thought you said you spoke to that. I guess the biggest disappointment at this point is losing to Wisconsin. Our kids played hard. We're coming off a tough loss from a week ago where none of us did as good as we were sure we're capable. And we wanted to make sure that we at least gave every ounce that we had to do so this weekend. So what I'm most disappointed about is we gave it excellent effort, but then didn't do some of the things you need to do to be a good team. I don't sit around and think about 0-2 and winning streak, you know. I hope I have to worry about winning streaks in the future, but I want to start with one.
REPORTER: Jim, did Justin take a step backwards today in the progression?
TRESSEL: I don't think so.
REPORTER: Are there any circumstances where you could see shaking it up at quarterback in the next week or two?
TRESSEL: Based upon what I saw, Bill, on the field today, I wouldn't say so, but it's hard to watch everything. We go back and study film and that type of thing, but what I appreciate about our staff and our players is they all sit down and first evaluate themselves and each position. We'll grade their position and we'll look at things in total and make decisions based upon what is the best thing for the team, but offhand at this moment in time, that's not something that jumps in my mind as a solution.
REPORTER: Jim, did John Stocco throw the ball a little better than maybe you anticipated; and also the two touchdown catches they had looked like they were pretty quality catches, can you reflect on those?
TRESSEL: Someone mentioned, I guess it was the radio I was just on, the key to the game was that they ran the ball well, and you know, when you give it to Anthony Davis four times, he's going to get close to four yards a carry and that's about what he got. I thought the difference for them offensively was the fact that they were efficient in their pass game and came up with some spectacular catches and some key third-down catches, a couple — they were just well done. And when you're efficient in your pass game and still can just pound it in there, that makes for pretty good offense.
REPORTER: Coach, defensively, it seemed like maybe you couldn't contain Davis for one on sweeps, were there adjustments attempted or were they attempted and just the lack of execution, because the defense, as you said, was on the field excessively in the second half?
TRESSEL: I think they do a good job of blocking their scheme. Davis has got great patience. He lets things happen and then has a good burst. Were there various fronts and adjustments and secondary things attempted? Absolutely. Our guys are pretty good at that. I can't sit here and tell you what they were, but they won.
REPORTER: Coach, could you just elaborate on your thoughts of Zwick's performance today?
TRESSEL: Elaborate? Wasn't good enough for us to win. I thought we had some things open that maybe we could have hit, but sometimes until you're standing in those moccasins and you don't see what's going by your vision path and you watch the film and see what those guys saw, I think you can't be too hasty to say, you should have thrown it here or you should have hit that or whatever. Again, I don't think it was abysmal. I don't think it was extraordinary. I'm sure somewhere in between it lies and we'll go to work from that point. But I'm not disappointed that we took a step backwards or something from that standpoint, from Justin's.
REPORTER: Coach, could you talk about some of the things Wisconsin did offensively and defensively that surprised you?
REPORTER: That they threw at you that maybe you hadn't expected or was it just as you expected?
TRESSEL: Wisconsin is who they are and that's why they're good. They line up and they run the things that they run and they see how you're trying to stop them and they know what they do once they have to go to the next step. Defensively, I thought they did a good job of attempting to put pressure and trying to play good, close, aggressive coverage on the wide guys, but that's nothing different for them.
REPORTER: You said you were pleased with the effort. Is there anything else you would hang your hat on as you look to Iowa?
TRESSEL: I think the thing that — I guess there's two things that I would hang my hat on, number one, I think our kids played hard and our coaches coached hard and our fans yelled hard and the whole deal. Number two, I know the people that are in our room, in our meeting rooms, and they're going to watch the film and get better. We'll be ready to go for the next challenge and that's why I like these guys.
REPORTER: Coach, can you talk about Ted Ginn in the punt return and what that did for the team at the time?
TRESSEL: That was one of the things that we felt like we had to do to win this game. We had to come up with a couple special teams plays, felt like we needed to win the turnover margin and get a little momentum going from that point, throw it efficiently and so forth. At that moment, that obviously was huge and it was a great spark for us and he's a talented kid. I think our return teams, in general, we've worked very hard on them and I think they've been solid and that was an exciting one. I'm excited for him because once you've done it, you're going to have a chance to have the confidence to do it again.
REPORTER: Question for A. J., A. J. how frustrated are you in the fact you guys had to play so hard today and the last two games you haven't come up victorious? HAWK: I think anytime you lose, you're frustrated, but there's certain times you have to get off the field. We had a couple third and longs where we didn't execute, let them catch the ball down the middle, certain things here and there. It comes down to we have to stop them in crunch time. We didn't do that today or last week.
REPORTER: A. J., last week, I know the defense was disappointed. Maybe your pride was hurt a little bit. Do you feel that you didn't get redemption at how hard you played today without winning the ball game? You did play hard. HAWK: Yeah, but for us as a defense, I think we always want to play hard and we're not giving it anything less, so what it comes down to, it's still us, we don't get redemption from it, but the only thing we can do is see what we did wrong and come back and make sure we don't do that again against Iowa next week.
REPORTER: Jim, you talked about the return game. Can you just talk about what you saw of Santonio's fumble and obviously how key a play was that in the ball game?
TRESSEL: Well, that was a really difficult kick, punt, and as you watched it. Anytime you watch a punt, if the tip goes over, it's going to be fairly easy to catch. If the tip doesn't and starts to skid, it's going to be hard. He wasn't sure, I think, as I watched him, as to was that reachable. And I think just the competitive part of him said, you know, I'm going to reach this, and the ball was kind of skidding away from him and it was a tough catch and he didn't make the catch. Not because he didn't have great effort or didn't want to do good things for the team, but it was a very difficult punt to catch.
REPORTER: Jim, did you ever see anybody split what appeared to be five guys like Ted did? I know he's a world-class sprinter; are there different ways of getting him involved? .
TRESSEL: Teddy's going to be a heck of a ball player for us. The more he's in and around our system, we need to devise things because he can do some good things with the ball in his hand. He almost caught a little slant over there that could have looked like the same thing at one point in the third quarter, but we've got a ways to go and I don't know think any of us have ever questioned whether or not we're going to buckle down and get better and become a good football team and that's what the fun of it is, and that's what the challenge is, and getting guys like Ted Ginn opportunities and A.J. Hawk and all the rest, that's what we're here for.

Mercury readers are calling for investment to repair Weston's 'horrific' roads after more than £1million was handed to the local authority.
The Government's Department for Transport (DfT) has awarded North Somerset Council with £1.7million to help improve the district's highways after more than £400million was set aside in the autumn budget.
Elfan Ap Rees, the council's executive member for highways, said the roads which will be repaired have not been discussed, but conceded 'we could do with more'.
He added: "It is not enough to clear the backlog since we left Avon.
"We used to get a small amount of the budget with most going to Bristol and we have been playing catch up ever since.
Many people took to social media to share their view.
Paul Leinichen commented: "It would be a considerable help long-term if it did the job properly when it does it.
So many cheap bodged jobs get done.
Jonathan Milnes said: "The roads need resurfacing it's a no brainier.
A DfT survey conducted in March suggested North Somerset's roads are some of the best in the country, with just one per cent of the district's A-roads in need of repair and four per cent of B and C-roads.

Warriors Hold Off Hawks, But It Wasn't Easy
March 3, 2018 sytonnia	Leave a comment
(Atlanta, GA) – Soooo…..Stephen Curry came out the gate throwing daggers and dropping bombs which resulted in a monstrous 25 pt first half for the guard (15 of those points came in the final seven minutes of the second qtr) allowing Golden State to build a sizeable lead (62-50) in the first two quarters.
But, in front of an almost sellout crowd, the Hawks had momentum and were prepared to attack and drive just as hard as the Warriors. Atlanta was so composed, Dennis Schröder even hit a shot two steps from half court. You had to be there :).
That was towards the end of the third and added to offensive drives that would ultimately put the Hawks within 2pts with just seconds left to play. Part of that comeback was due to a Curry-less Warriors team who had to play basically the whole second half without their leader.
Even though he said he wasn't sure whose foot he stepped on, the tweak was so apparent that he was overruled in the decision to remain in the game and had to sit the rest of it out. But when you're the defending champs, your roster runs so deep you can afford it. The Warriors got 28 from Kevin Durant, 16 from Nick Young, 15 from Klay Thompson and a game winning play by veteran Andre Iguodala.
However, it didn't just happen like that. During a game that had all the makings of being a blowout, the Hawks didn't surrender. You can't deny the resiliency of this team and when they really start to click on both ends of the court, they're capable of beating anybody really.
With that being said, as the game entered its final stretch, the Hawks put some plays together that made the sun come out in the center of darkness. In the final two minutes Atlanta went on a 9-0 run led by none other than Dennis Schröder (27) and Kent Bazemore (29). Just like that the score was 111-109 with 19 seconds left.
Keeping the dream alive, the Hawks would foul Kevin Durant on their next possession resulting with the MVP leaving the line 1-1. 112-109. There's still hope. But this is Golden State. In the Hawks' final possession a series of passes left them vulnerable and just enough room for Iguodala to force the turnover to which he finished on the rim in championship dunk fashion and that was it. Final Score 114-109.

(SL) – Sadly, this past week the basketball world lost a legend. Beloved NBA sideline reporter Craig Sager lost his 2 year long battle with cancer. The Atlanta Hawks paid their respects before the game with a moment of silence and a touching tribute dedicated to the memory of Sager. Hawks cheerleaders wore bright, colorful Sager like T-shirts to show their respects, and Harry the Hawk even showed up dressed in his most outlandish getup, attempting to impersonate Sager whom will forever be known for his flashy and eccentric suits, as well as his cool, calm and collective sideline demeanor.
Saturday night the Hawks welcomed the 14-13 Charlotte Hornets to Philips Arena for the first time this season. The Hawks lost 100-96 back on November 18th when these two teams met in Charlotte. Since Atlanta last played Charlotte, the Hawks have only been on the winning end of 4 of their last 16 games, and unfortunately for the Hawks, the struggle to get back on track will continue as they also lost this game 107-99.
The Hornets held on to the lead throughout most of this game. The Hawks did make a strong push in the 4th taking the lead twice, but just weren't able to maintain it as the Hornets continued to get key rebounds and keep the Hawks from scoring points when they desperately needed them the most. This made it nearly impossible for Atlanta to get any momentum going. Former Hawks forward Marvin Williams put the final nail in the coffin after making a 3 pointer with 27.8 seconds remaining in the game, to put the Hornets up 102-97.

Hawks End Two Game Losing Streak, Beat Rockets 112-97
November 6, 2016 sytonnia	Leave a comment
(Atlanta, GA) – The Atlanta Hawks got back on the win column at Philips Arena defeating the Houston Rockets 112-97 . Coming in Dwight Howard dispelled rumors that he and James Harden had beef. But he sure played like he was sending a clear message to the Rockets and Atlanta….Daddy's home! It was a good one in the ATL as Millsap, Howard and Kent Bazemore got to work early jumping out on Houston and they never looked back.
Houston didn't help themselves with more than 20 turnovers and a number of missed shots from the arc. I don't think it would've mattered though had those stats been reversed. The Atlanta Hawks wanted to give D-12 a win and stick it Harden and the Rockets and they did just that.
Atlanta needed this win after losing 2 in a row (Lakers and Wizards) but as you can see with this new look ATL team, they don't dwell on the past. Atlanta got back to their style of basketball and added some flare too with Dwight Howard posterized KJ McDaniels with a block that was clearly all ball but the refs called a foul.
Post game Howard was asked about the hug he gave the ref who made the call. Howard said he admitted that he made the wrong call and Howard was sure to let him know that everyone makes mistakes. lol. Kent Bazemore also resurfaced scoring 20 points. Paul Millsap was among the double double tribe with 23 points and 11 rebounds with Dwight Howard's 20 points 14 boards and Dennis Schroder's 17 points 12 Assists.
As for the Hawks bouncing back after a tough loss against the Wizards, Coach Bud says, "You've been around our group. You know there's a lot of character, a lot of fiber. when you lose and you don't play and compete the way you'd like to and expect to, and what we've become accustomed to, you can't wait to get out and play again. It's just a testament to their character, how they're made up, how they're built."
Let's take a look at the stats:
Houston hurt themselves with 25 TOs they also missed a lot of shots from the 3 going 12-3 and offensively they just weren't hitting. Harden led the Rockets with 30. 24 of those were from the 1st half. Atlanta on the other hand shot 52.9% from the field with Kent Bazemore hitting 20, Millsap 23, Howard 20, Korver 10 and Schroder 17. Up next the Hawks will head to Cleveland to take on Lebron and the Cavs.

Despite Loss To Pistons, Dennis Schroder And Dwight Howard Continue To Build Chemistry
October 15, 2016 sytonnia	Leave a comment
(SL) – (Atlanta, GA) – As pre-season play continues for the Atlanta Hawks Coach Bud has to be pleased with how Dennis Schroder and Dwight Howard are blending on the court. Schroder chipped in 17 points while D. Howard was good for 15 in their pre-season loss to the Detroit Pistons. Despite the 99-94 loss, Coach Bud had to be impressed with the way the two are working their way around the offense.
At first critics were skeptical and wondered if Howard would fit in with Atlanta's style of play and now the dynamic duo is receiving one-two punch praise with some people likening them to Chris Paul and Blake Griffin. By most accounts, Howard hasn't played with a point guard this promising in his career.
Can't really count Nash because he was nearing the end of his career while Schroder at just 23 years old is in his prime and expected to be one of the best PGs in the league. Superman is still lethal enough to fly and dominate on the pick and roll while Dennis with top speed is quick enough to get to the basket.
It could bring a type of heat to Atlanta that could make them the alley-oop city of the East. Will certainly be looking for more progression from these two on Sunday when they visit Orlando. Tip off is at 6pm.

Dwight Howard Officially Makes His Debut For The Atlanta Hawks Hitting 26 During Unity Game Against The Cavs
(SL) – The Atlanta Hawks put their starters in the game against the Cavs and let the city get a taste of what they can expect from Dwight Howard who led all scorers with 26 points and shot an impressive 11-15 from the field. The Cavs however, chose to sit their starters down.Atlanta was happy to see Howard hit the court responding with a rousing applause when his name was called.
As for playing his first home game in his hometown, Howard said, "I didn't think about it. I just wanted to go out and be aggressive from the tip and just have fun." Howard also talked about his connection with Dennis Schroder saying, "It's getting better. There are a lot of things we have to really work on – the pick-and-roll, making sure I have a chance to hit his man. Just simple things we can fix. That comes with time." Dwight did what he had to do and took a seat while Tim Hardaway Jr continued to struggle shooting 1 for 7 from the field, 0-4 from the arc. In two pre-season games, Hardaway is 2-20, 0-8 from the 3pt line. Not sure what's going on with the Guard who has been a hot topic when the conversation of who stays and who goes comes up. Post game Coach Bud didn't single anybody out as he discussed what he's looking for from his group as a whole.
The Hawks will take on the Pistons on Thursday at 7:30 at Philips Arena.

Hand down the best tool I have used. When Autel stated out their Tex support was alfull now it's much better.
Very slow in comparison to the Autel maxsys. If and only if I had never used the Autel would I thank this is a good tool. Very disappointed in my purchase of this tool.
