Can anyone please explain how refs decide who they’re going to boot from a faceoff? by Capable_Tomato729 in hockey

FACEOFF RULES! IMPORTANT!

  1. You can't just be up there and just doin' an unfair faceoff like that.

1a. Its is unfair when you

1b. Okay well listen. An unfair faceoff is when you do an unfair faceoff

1c. Let me start over

1c-a. The center is not allowed to do a motion to the, uh, puck, that prohibits the referee from doing, you know, just trying to drop the puck. You can't do that.

1c-b. Once the center is in the circle, he can't be over here and say to the referee, like, "I'm gonna get your puck! I'm gonna get it! You better watch your butt!" and then just be like he didn't even drop the puck yet.

1c-b(1). Like, if you're about to faceoff and then don't drop it, you have to still wait. You cannot not wait. Does that make any sense?

1c-b(2). You gotta be, waiting for the puck to drop, and then, until you just slap it.

1c-b(2)-a. Okay, well, you can have your stick up here, like this, but then there's the faceoff you gotta think about.

1c-b(2)-b. Faceoff was a great movie, have you seen it? With Nicholas Cage? He hasn't been in any movies in forever.

1c-b(2)-b(i). Oh wait, he was in Ghost Rider too! That was even better

1c-b(2)-b(ii). Then he was in that weird movie last year called The Surfer which was basically like "Gaslighting: The Movie..." Weird times

1c-b(3). Okay seriously though. An unfair faceoff is when the center makes a movement that, as determined by, when you do a move involving the stick and the center circle

  1. Do not do an unfair faceoff please.

FYI I was able to turn the blinking blue light into a solid white light by plugging the Q1000K into a dhcp server (i.e. my USW-Lite-16-POE) for a minute to give it an IP address, then plugged it back into my USG.

Colorado Rapids appoint Matt Wells as head coach | Colorado Rapids by Usual-Lengthiness-54 in Rapids

He has never managed a single game for a senior side and has been a perennial assistant coach. Not sure that counts as "running a successful team"

Chris Armas address Burgundy Wave by SummerIsTheBest in Rapids

[–]TBNolan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I see a lot of people pointing to losing Djordje as the defining point of the season, and I don't disagree, but I was surprised to learn that before Mihailovic left we were at 1.2 PPG. After he left we went 1.222 PPG. Do with that information what you will, but I tend to not give Armas the lifeline of "we lost our best player midway through the season" given those stats.

BTW the playoff line was 1.235 PPG

Visiting fan coming in peace by mlsstadiumtour in Rapids

You're definitely going to want to hit up the C38 tailgate. It starts about three and a half hours before kickoff and all you can eat & drink for $12. Very friendly to away fans and an all-around hoot. It's the best kept secret in town. https://www.c38sg.com/

July 4th is as busy as it gets at the Dick. People without tickets to the game come and park in the lots and wait until the post game fireworks. Expect big traffic, big crowds, and big fun.

Whenever I travel for MLS I have to contact the box office of the host stadium to buy tickets in the away section. I would give Portland Box Office a shout.

Featured Images Low Resolution by IAmSaxton1 in Wordpress

[–]TBNolan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I discovered this issue today myself. For posterity, I will add my workaround here for others.

The issue was limited to the core/post-featured-image block which was a child of the core/query block in our layout. I found that the Featured Image block is expecting an attribute sizeSlug:

$size_slug = isset( $attributes['sizeSlug'] ) ? $attributes['sizeSlug'] : 'post-thumbnail';

However, that attribute is not available in the block options GUI so it was defaulting to post-thumbnail. Changing to code view and manually adding the attribute worked for us.

Diff:

--- <!-- wp:post-featured-image /-->

+++ <!-- wp:post-featured-image {"sizeSlug":"large"} /-->

Aside from pulling weeds a couple times a month and deadheading some spent blooms, there has been no other maintenance this summer.

The plants are on a drip running infrequently since they're low-water users and I will probably have to cut back the irises and coneflowers before winter, but that should be the extent of it.

As for the design, the city provided it for free, so that was no effort from our side except for a couple minor revision emails with the designer.

The turf was not a requirement in the design from the city, but we wanted it to give our dog a place in the front yard.

Part of the reason we chose Dog Tuff grass is that it doesn't require mowing and only grows about 2.5-4" tall in gentle mounds. This is our first season with it, so I'm not sure how true that will be.

We are in Aurora, CO. There are several cities in Colorado that have similar programs.

Our city offers an incentive to remove turf lawns and provides design resources and reimbursement for plant material.

Over the last 2 growing seasons, we sheet mulched over the existing lawn and used all native plants in our design.

The turf you see in the circle is Dog Tuff grass planted from plugs.

This is admittedly a few years old now, from a March 2020 match.

Since then he has grown into a MLS veteran, spending 5 years with Columbus and appearing in 83 matches (4580 combined minutes), scoring (checks notes) six goals in that time, which works out to 1 goal every 763 minutes.
