No, you told me to breakout my S&T; videos, and keep the weight forward! I keed! I keed!! Sorry for bringing Key #2 into focus on that post above... Yes, you are 100% correct, you just said if that's my FEEL like its on the left, to keep the centered hip turn.... Then roll with it. My bad for creating the confusion... Ok so now lets dissect some other goods.... Yes, I guess the shaft doesn't look too laid off when depicted side by side with Mac vs Zach in Jedi Knight fashion like that! (Look at those pants! .......... LOL) Good stuff and thanks for bringing that to my attention. But the rehearsal swing on the left, just looks like it has clean geo's compared to the right. Plus I hate how gimpy that closed clubface looks in comparison... I just looks 'gimpy' to me. I know there are a lot of good players playing with a closed club face, but its something that has bugged me for - well - two years now! Is it a PP4 issue with how I'm loading the club? Looks like my attachment goes 'deeper' into the frame (inward) on the real swings, which leads to that club shaft shifting off to the left. I'm wondering because my tempo is a little quicker than most, that combined with the fact that I'm overloading PP4, that it leads to that shaft kicking out to the left at the top?? Just curious and wondering what others think... When I do the swing rehearsals - I'm going slower, and use the alignment stick on the ground as a reference point of the plane line... And it helps me properly load PP4 from A2 to A4. But when I'm swinging the golf club... At a ball... I focus on the ball - and my loading of PP4 (A2 to A4) must be different? Could too much PP4 be the culprit of why that elbow gets stuck at A6 - and leads to the Goat Humping Festival of Orange County?? Inquiring minds would like to know...

Here is the latest set of swings... I left some pre-shot rehearsals into the video, which can be found in the first minute of the video. The pre-shot rehearsal is what I'm trying to blend into my actual swing. In particular the way I load the accumulators in the rehearsal - and the shaft is more vertical instead of being laid off. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to get a swing captured where I nail that move - yet. I feel like the Pipoe is helping me with the elbow spacing a lot. I don't know... Maybe I'm too excited, but I feel like I'm actually making some progress again. And one of the keys mvmac had me working on was #2 - and keeping weight forward - trying to keep that hip on the start line has really helped me. I'm not 100% nailing the weight forward - even on the backswing... But I'm getting closer and closer. Here's a snapshot from an Evolvr video mvmac has me going back and working to incorporate the Key #2 feel...

Ok, I apologize... I wrote what I wrote, and then Google 'Breaking Bad Timeline of Events' and this is the first article that popped up... http://www.theatlanticwire.com/entertainment/2013/09/after-year-youve-had-glaring-flaw-breaking-bad-chronology/68987/ After reading the article, I'm glad I'm not the only one who has some issues with the timeline of the show. And GD, I had to laugh when you used 24 as a reference.... GOOOD POINT!! Oh, and here is the question... Walt has a shaved head in episode 60.... Holly is 18mo old. So going back to the timeline... Walt is 50 in the Pilot.... 11 Episodes in (Season 2 - after Tuco and all the crazyness went down in Season 1 - they sell Blue Sky to Gus) Holly is born. 18mo later, Episode 60. Episode 61 or 62, Walt will be 52.... And here you go.... Walt has hair. Walt grew a full beard, and a full head of hair in like a month or two? I'm guessing a month or two (being polite) because Holly wasn't born until Episode 11 - where they had probably engaged in several months of badness after Walt turned 50?!? LOL Come on Vince. I love your show, but your timeline sucks!

I listened to the Podcast last night about Season 5, Episode 14 (which was amazing - and is the 60th episode of the series). This was the first podcast I've listened to where the writers and directors talk about the show (or any show for that matter - I've never listened to one of these)... And they went into some interesting details about how they filmed certain things, and pulled off different scenes using various techniques and methods. It was pretty interesting, and they definitely gave me insight into the state of the characters, and what they wanted the audience to feel. But one of the things I found the most interesting, at least in this sample of listening, is how much these writers seemed to forget/or didn't know the timeline of the story. I'm mentioning this here, because while I think Vince Gilligan obviously is a brilliant mind behind this show, his cast of writers seemed to not truly know how much time has elapsed over the course of time. So that got me thinking... And I've thought about this before... How much time has actually passed over the course of this show? First, the pilot Walt turns 50 (Skyler places the bacon on the breakfast plate). Ok.... So this is Day 1. Then throughout the first season, Skyler is prego with Holly... And in season 2, she has Holly in the 11th episode of the series... Holly is born while Walt is doing his first transaction with Gus for a whopping $1.2M. I don't know how much time elapsed between Walt turning 50 (Episode 1), and Holly being born... But I want to use her birth as an important reference point which I'll come back to later. Then in Season 5, Episode 50 - 'Fifty One' Walt turns 51. During this time... Is when Lydia is worried about the DEA tracking their methlaymine.... And Jesse, Walt and Mike are all trying to find ways to shake the DEA - as Blue Sky is back on the streets being sold after Gus' death. Fast forward to this weeks Episode, Ozymandia (Episode 60), an Amber Alert is reported for an 18mo girl - who is Holly. So basically we have from Episode 11 to Episode 60 is a span of 18 months.... This is when Walt is leaving and going to New Hampshire (we know this from the previous flash forward, where he shows the waitress in the Denny's his ID)... And this coming weeks Episode is named 'Granite State'.... New Hampshire is nick named the Granite State. Where am I going with this? Well, in the Denny's dinner, during the flash forward of Season 5, Episode 47, Live Free or Die - Walt is seen with the New Hampshire ID, and he has hair, and it is his 52 birthday. Lets recap now.... 1.) Walt turned 50 in the Pilot (Episode 1)... Shit starts getting real. 2.) Holly is born in Season 2, (Episode 11).... This is where Gus is buying his first batch of leftover product from Walt and Jesse. 3.) Walt turned 51 in Season 5 (Episode 50)... The DEA knows about Gus - but is trying to find out who is running the meth op now that Gus is dead. 3.) Holly is kidnapped by Walt in Season 5b...(Episode 60).... It is reported in the Amber Alert Holly is 18mo old. 4.) Walt turned 52 in the flash forward in Season 5a (Episode 47).... This will be shown again, in present time in either Episode 61 (this coming weekend) or Episode 62? (Only two episodes left) Obviously, 24mo passes by from the Pilot to where Walt is back in ABQ after returning from the 'Granite State'. But how has all of this crazyness transpired over the course of 2yrs?! The writers during the podcast was saying it was one year from the Pilot to Episode 60 - and Vince corrected them, and said it was longer... But he didn't specify how much longer it was. As good as this show is... It just seems like it would've been more realistic (LOL - ok this is TV I know)... If this would've been like spanned over 3 or 5yrs. So my question is.... Am I the only person that is bugged out by this? Has anyone else thought about this? Think of the insane shit that has transpired over the course of this show - which is amazing... I've loved the character development.... But squeezing it into a 2yr timeline seems really strange.

First, if you play in a lot of tournaments - real tournaments, I can tell you that the scenario that you laid out above is actually the polar opposite of what I'd expect to see. Meaning that his/her tournament scores would likely be higher (possibly many strokes higher) than his/her casual round scores. The reason why I believe this? Simple. Tournament pressure is difficult - plus the tracks are typically setup much more difficult than a casual round will be. Regardless if the guy is a sandbagger, or a vanity capper... If someone can play well in under tournament conditions/stress... Then they should be deemed a solid player. And their casual rounds shouldn't be what defines this golfer IMO.

Elbow spacing and Key #1 and #2.

Have you looked into getting a VisionTrack Pro? I agree with Mvmac, your path is too far left. Most likely it is a path issue - and the VisionTrack will help you understand path quickly - and you can hit balls with it and get immediate feedback. So basically, get the weight forward (as pointed out by Mvmc), and then swing out - which the VisionTrack will help visualize. Good luck! I hate hitting straight pulls too!!

Owlbuuhkerki? Damn spell check and auto correct can't even fix it!! :P

I'm pretty sure that wasn't ABQPD at Skylar/Walts house recording the conversation between her and Walt? Marie knows damn well Hank wouldn't let Walt go.... So something terrible must of happened for Walt to escape.... She told Skylar that Walt was being booked at the station, and she needed to come clean with Junior right there at the car wash - she demanded it. Skylar proceeds to come clean with Junior, and then leaves to go home and collect their things... And runs into Walt at the house. Junior calls 911, Walt grabs Holly and plays bumper cars in the driveway. Later you hear that there is an Amber Alert out for Holly, from the officers/agents inside the home of the White's. And Marie is there with Skylar. I'm pretty sure Marie knows Hank is gone and would've done everything in her power to inform the DEA, where Hank worked, on what was transpiring. I don't think its a big deal, not sure why I just typed all this out. Just find it funny that some of you are getting hung up that the DEA doesn't know yet. Marie would've called over there asking 'How did Walt get out of Hanks control.' I'm guessing pretty damn fast, especially as a loving wife, concerned for her husbands well being.

Great minds think alike! LOL

I'm guessing that as soon as Marie realized that Walt was not 'Dead to his Rights' she as a loving wife, called the authorities. That combined with the Amber Alert looking for Holly, I'd say everyone in that city knows who Walter White is... The DEA has been looking for Heisenberg for awhile - or they are at least very familiar with his product.

Hahah ahhh yes, tea! My bust! I think with the Amber Alert - looking for Holly, combined with the fact that the DEA knows Hank and Gomie is missing/dead... The authorities will do all they can to ensure everyone in ABQ knows who Heisenberg is and are looking for him.

I'm sorry, but I had to stop watching after the dumb shit vblog host couldn't keep Walt and Hank straight... Especially after going on and on about how hard it is to hit someone with an Assualt Rifle. Yes, because there was only one person shooting at Hank and Gomie. :facepalm:

Showing why the house was abandoned should be fairly easy now based on what transpired last night. Now that Walt's cover is blown, and Hank is dead, I believe Skylar, Junior and Holly would simply move in with Marie. Marie and Hank's house is larger and nicer. Plus, they are sisters, and Marie is going to lose her shit without Hank - her rock. So she will need her sister more now than ever. And surrounding themselves with the kids would be a good way for them to heal from what as turned their world upside down. Going back to Walt and the ricin.... Hmmmm... Jamo, I think you could be right about Lydia getting slipped the ricin. The ricin definitely has to be used. And using it on Lydia makes sense. I think she is an easy target, and Walt could just as easily blow her cover and let her rot in a prison cell some where, where she can no longer enjoy her mani/pedis. But thinking back, Walt was going to use the ricin on her last season, but decided against it. He was going to slip it into her coffee, but then she came up with the plan to turn higher profits on the meth ring by introducing the product to the Czechs. So perhaps he does finally plant it into her unsuspecting coffee, by reaching out to her stating that he needs a way to build back up his nest egg? It makes sense, that he contacts Lydia to help get her purity levels back up on the meth - to help ensure the product is 'Blue Sky' quality. And in doing so, she provides him with information on where to find Todd and the Aryans operational meth lab in the remote desert. Ultimately, Walt does this to find out where the Aryans are holding Jesse hostage. To free Jesse - and vengeance to the death of Hank, and taking his money ($80M nest egg, and left him with $11M). Somehow, this will have to happen fairly quick though, as Lydia can't find out that Jesse is going to be able to bring the purity levels up by assisting Todd. Because if she finds out that Todd has Jesse, to help reconstruct Blue Sky, then if Walt reaches out to her, she will never reveal where the lab is, as Walt would be useless to her. So given the timeline, he'd have to slip Lydia the ricin in a meeting with her, unsuspectingly - like in a coffee shop. And it has to happen quickly or she will learn that the products purity levels are back. Remember, Todd has a mancrush on her, so he wants to please her. Having Jesse walk him through the cooking procedure will ensure the products purity levels are obtained. And Todd is going to run back to Lydia looking for her approval, trying to score ***** points. No questions though... The Aryans, they definitely are getting the brunt force of the M60. Does Walt and Jesse make it out of this thing alive? There is a good chance...

Question, am I in the minority when I say I still ' like ' Walt, and feel sorry for him? And ultimately want to see him survive this mess, but believe the perfect ending is Walt actually taking himself out? [I don't know if like is the right word, maybe I feel sorry for him??] [[It's interesting, because my wife now hates Walt. And wishes he would die.]] Above Erik mentioned that Vince has stated that they believe they have the ' perfect ' ending of the show. I hadn't read this or tried to research/learn more about this comment from Vince... But it got me thinking about what I would find to be the perfect ending to Breaking Bad. Remember, there are only two episodes left... Here is my .02. (1.) I want Walt to save Jesse. [I'm really torn that Walt is/was willing to let Jesse be executed... But I think that has more to do with protecting his children, and as a Father (Walt), he ultimately has alligence to them and their safety. And, I believe that Walt feels that Jesse crossed him by working with Hank and Gomie. And if Jesse would've just kept his mouth shut, Walt would've gotten away with everything, and Hank would still be alive.] (2.) I want Walt to blow up the lab where Todd and the other cronies are now operating. [We know Walt is back in ABQ with the M60 from the 5A/1 + 5B/1 flash forward(s)] (3.) I want Walt to blow the cover of the meth operation that Lydia is now running. [[In last nights preview of next weeks episode, we saw Walt seeks out Saul, and his contact, to give him a new identity. Thus Walt is going in hiding until he comes out with a master plan on how to take down the Aryans and their drug ring.]] (4.) I want Walt to get away, without losing his life... But I think the perfect ending is Walt being captured by the DEA, after blowing the cover of Lydia/Aryan operation, and when he is captured, he digest the Ricin to prevent further torture of his family having to watch a long drawn out trial. The sun sets on ABQ... And Jesse is still alive. And the only guy in town that has the Heisenberg recipe.

I think this chode actually believes this. Bahhahaha.... [Sorry lets get this back on topic]

LOL.... Thanks for bringing me up to speed. I haven't read that thread, but you provided an entertaining summary which I appreciate. Good day, Sir! Grabs popcorn... Enters the Golf Stereotype thread.

Thanks for posting this dsc123. Color me impressed... Nice swing bud. Looks like the S4 is a great phone for capturing the golf swing, and agree that for the price, it is going to eat into a niche market that the GoPro was carving out. I used to film my golf swings using the 30fps iPhone 4 all the time (see myswing thread for examples). And was never happy with the shaft blur, and issues seeing what my hands/wrist/arms/elbows were doing at A6+++. So this past Christmas my wife got me the GoPro Black which films at 240fps at WVGA (800 x 480) resolution. And I couldn't be happier with the GoPro. But after seeing your videos, at 120fps, I'm glad to see that technology is improving, and phones are now getting beefed up to handle videoing the Golf swing. All-in-all, a $200 phone with contract being able to film a golf swing is pretty impressive. I've got ~ $700 (guesstimate) in my GoPro setup once I purchased all the supporting gadgets, chargers, etc. etc. So while it would be a pain in the ass to mount the S4 - I think there would be creative solutions to overcome the mounting issues. Hopefully by the time I go to get my next phone purchase (I just upgraded to the iPhone 5 earlier this summer)... Which will be in ~ two years... By that time they have increased the performance even more of the mobile phones camera/video ability. I'd love to see a phone that could do 720p resolution at 240fps or higher - and eliminate the fisheye effect that is found on the GoPro. Regarding the resolution of the S4... What does it support at the 120fps? Looks like native VGA (640 x 480)? Does anyone have the actual resolution specs on the S4 vs iPhone 5S at 120fps? Just curious what native res will be supported by these phones. Oh, and I got a great laugh out of the 30+lbs comment!

I don't know if you've watched Homeland... But it is pretty legit. I'd recommend watching the pilot, and if you like it (which I'd be surprised if you didn't), then buy both season 1 and 2. I can't wait for season 3 to kickoff.

Who is this chode?

I think the desert scene was shot from season #1 - with Walt talking on the phone to Skylar. But I think that the scene in the home - with Skylar was shot more recently. Basically Skylar in my mind has lost weight - and looks healthier this season than in seasons past. And in the flashback... She looked like she does now. So I think they did both A and C - and came out with a new take. Which was done really, really ****ing well. Honestly, this show is pretty amazing.

Here's Richard Sherman from the Seahawks at the golf range with his boyzzzzz. [URL]http://instagram.com/p/c-LVuuGdpQ/[/URL] Guess what I voted for!? Lol

Tonight's episode was tough to watch. Really hard to believe that Walt and Jesse have come to the current state of affairs. Watching that flashback from season 1 really placed a pshycological weight on my heart, and made me realize how much I've invested in this show and watching these characters grow and or spoil. One last comment, I have to believe that Walt goes back to save Jesse. I just think that Jesse and Walt still have a bind that ties them together. And one can't live without the other. And now that Walt has nothing to live for... He will forgive Jesse and try and save him.

I have confirmed +1. +3 may be likely. The fourth is on vaca and will not be able to make it. I'll firm it up soon.
