Australian Travellers weighed down by their wallets05/06/2013
New research released today by Virgin Australia's award-winning frequent flyer program, Velocity, shows that Australian's wallets are weighing them down with one in five carrying three or more credit or debit cards when travelling and over a third admitting to being weighed down by cash and coins.
The survey, which canvassed the opinions of a broad cross-section of Australians , also found that currency conversion rates act as a deterrent from using cards overseas for the majority of Australians (75%). Despite theft being a large concern for Australian travellers, 37% of people prefer to carry cash with no back-up should their money be stolen.
The Eiffel Tower topped the list as the cultural landmark Australians would most like to visit (23%), beating the Empire State Building in the United States and the Big Ben in London.
It comes as Velocity Frequent Flyer prepares to launch its first travel money card, the Global Wallet in the coming months. In partnership with Visa, the new card will be the ultimate travel solution, enabling people to load money and lock in a range of exchange rates while earning Velocity Frequent Flyer Points on purchases made in Australia and around the world.
Velocity Frequent Flyer General Manager, Phil Gunter said: "We know that members don't like to carry too many cards when they travel, so we have designed the Global Wallet to be conveniently located on one-side of the new look membership card, meaning one less card in the wallet.
"The Global Wallet is a travel money solution that will respond directly to concerns around currency conversion rates, with the ability to lock in a range of exchange rates and spend like a local at over 30 million locations in Australia and around the world, wherever Visa is accepted."
To celebrate Australian's passion for travel, with a record eight million overseas trips taken last year , Velocity Frequent Flyer has embarked on bold mission to build the nation's favourite cultural landmark, the Eiffel Tower, made entirely of membership cards.
Over the next 13 days, Guinness World Record Holder and global sensation, Bryan Berg will build a 13ft replica of the Parisian landmark, using thousands of the new cards in the middle of Sydney.
Taking more than 120 hours, the freestanding house of cards structure will be the largest ever created in Australia and won't include any tape, glue, folding or trickery of any kind – just cards.
"The Global Wallet is a travel money solution that Australian travellers can bank on by allowing you to earn Points on every dollar spent. We look forward to launching this new innovation soon", Mr Gunter said.
Visa's Country Manager for Australia Vipin Kalra said: "Travel remains an important priority for many Australians and this is reflected in the $6.5 billion spent overseas on Visa cards last year . This card further reduces the need to rely on cash and offers consumers choice in how they manage their travel spending."
To see Bryan undertake one of his most technical challenges to date – Australia's tallest card stack, visit Westfield Sydney.
Velocity Frequent Flyer is free to join, visit VelocityRewards.com for more information.
About Bryan Berg
Now a worldwide sensation, Bryan has stacked cards across North America, Africa, Europe and Asia and has broken his own incredible world records on more than a dozen occasions since 1992. Starting his career as an architect, with a Master's degree from Harvard, Bryan now combines his passion for iconic buildings with his unique card stacking talents to recreate some of the most famous tourist spots from all over the world.

Wales have named Eli Walker, James King, Andrew Coombs, Josh Navidi and Andries Pretorius in their 2013 Six Nations squad.
Wales have included Eli Walker, James King, Andrew Coombs, Josh Navidi and Andries Pretorius in their Six Nations squad ahead of facing Ireland.
Captain Sam Waburton will lead the side as they prepare to defend their Six Nations title and will be joined in the squad by uncapped Blues back-row colleagues Navidi and Pretorius.
Second-row duo King (Ospreys) and Coombs (Dragons) have also been called into the squad for the first time alongside Ospreys wing Walker.
Coach Rob Howley has named an experienced contingent in the front-row which is bolstered by the return of Adam Jones (Ospreys) and Craig Mitchell (Exeter Chiefs), who feature alongside Gethin Jenkins (Toulon), Paul James (Bath), Scott Andrews (Blues) and Ryan Bevington (Ospreys). Matthew Rees (Scarlets), Ken Owens (Scarlets) and Richard Hibbard (Ospreys) are the hookers.
Ian Evans (Ospreys), Lou Reed (Blues) and Josh Turnbull (Scarlets) who all featured in the end-of-year squad remain in the 35-man group and are joined by King and Coombs.
Former Wales U20 lock King, 22, has impressed for the Ospreys this term domestically and in Europe and will vie for a second row berth with Dragons forward Coombs. The 28-year-old, who can also play in the back-row, has caught the eye of the Welsh management this season. Injuries to Luke Charteris (Perpignan), Bradley Davies (Blues) and Alun Wyn Jones (Ospreys) have ruled them out of initial selection.
In the back-row, captain Waburton is named alongside experienced Ryan Jones (Ospreys), Toby Faletau (Dragons), Justin Tipuric (Ospreys) and Aaron Shingler (Scarlets). Former Wales U20 captain Navidi is rewarded for his performances this season with his first call-up to the national squad as is 27-year-old Blues captain Pretorius. Born in Nelspruit, South Africa, Pretorius will add fire-power to the back row options and qualifies on residency.
In the backline Mike Phillips (Bayonne), Lloyd Williams (Blues) and Tavis Knoyle (Scarlets) will contest the number nine jersey. They will be joined at half-back by Dan Biggar (Ospreys) and James Hook (Perpignan), with Rhys Priestland (Scarlets) unavailable due to injury.
The experience in the backline continues with Blues trio Alex Cuthbert, Jamie Roberts and Leigh Halfpenny all named alongside Jonathan Davies, George North Scott Williams and Liam Williams (all Scarlets). Clermont Auvergne full-back Lee Byrne returns to the squad.
The 2012 Grand Slam champions begin the defence of their title against Ireland at the Millennium Stadium on February 2, before facing France in Paris the following weekend.
"We have put together a very experienced squad and complimented that by rewarding the in-form players with a call-up," said Howley.
"The players in the squad have been playing really well and we have been pleased with their individual performances.
"We have a group of players who know how to win big matches and have experienced success. We are adding to that, players who have stood out and performed well for the regions this season."
Wales squad for Six Nations:
Forwards: Scott Andrews, Craig Mitchell, Adam Jones, Paul James, Gethin Jenkins, Ryan Bevington, Richard Hibbard, Ken Owens, Matthew Rees, Ryan Jones, Lou Reed, Ian Evans, James King, Andrew Coombs, Josh Turnbull, Josh Navidi, Aaron Shingler, Justin Tipuric, Sam Warburton, Toby Faletau, Andries Pretorius.
Backs: Tavis Knoyle, Mike Phillips, Lloyd Williams, Dan Biggar, James Hook, Jonathan Davies, Jamie Roberts, Scott Williams, Alex Cuthbert, George North, Eli Walker, Leigh Halfpenny, Liam Williams, Lee Byrne.

Fitz on the Fritz
by Howard Simon
posted Aug 28 2012 12:00AM
Stop me if you've heard this one before. Summer is about to give way to fall. Pre-season football will thankfully give way to regular season football and we're talking about the struggles of the Bills starting quarterback. I was kidding with that "stop me" reference. I would like you to read the rest of the column.
We know pre-season games don't count but players and coaches alike will tell you they do matter. Which is why we should be concerned with the performance of Ryan Fitzpatrick and the number one offense to this point.
There are no excuses to explain away their ineffectiveness. Its the same offense and the third year for Fitzpatrick in that offense. The same play caller(Chan Gailey) who has a great working relationship with his quarterback. The same receivers are back so lack of chemistry can't be an issue.
The same running backs are out there and would probably have made the offense more productive if they received more carries through the three dress rehearsals.
You can't use injuries as an excuse either. The only starter who has missed time is right tackle Erik Pears although the Bills have limited the game snaps for center Eric Wood.
The starting offense has had 15 possessions through the first three games. I'm throwing out the one play, kneel down at the end of the first half last Saturday against Pittsburgh. In those 15 possessions, Fitzpatrick and company have produced 2 touchdowns and 1 field goal. There was 1 turnover(CJ Spiller fumble) and 11 punts.
The Bills have managed a grand total of 14 first downs. There were no first downs on 7 of those 15 drives and 5 of the 15 have been 3 and out.
One of their touchdowns came after a drive start at the Steelers 49 yard line. The field goal was the result of a drive that began at the Washington 21 yard line and went backwards for a net loss of 4 yards.
In a summer where we spent quite a bit of time talking about the potential impact new quarterbacks coach David Lee could have on Fitzpatrick, the star pupil looks like the same inconsistent signal caller he's been through his NFL career.
There have been too many times where Fitzpatrick has flat out missed guys or been off target. Even on one of his completions in the game with Pittsburgh, Stevie Johnson had to lay out to make the catch and left himself vulnerable to a potentially dangerous hit.
I know its pre season and the players and coaches will talk about how they aren't showing anything until the games count but it shouldn't be too much to ask your offense to look competent at the very least. Fitzpatrick has completed 48% of his passes thus far. In case you were wondering, he completed 61% during the 2011 pre season.
I'm not panicking and I'm not calling for Fitzpatrick to be benched. This is his offense and I don't think the Bills would consider making a change unless the season turns into a five alarm fire. I don't believe Fitzpatrick has a short leash.
Even if you thought that, you probably changed your thinking after the release of Vince Young and the trade for Tarvaris Jackson. Who knows how long it will take for Jackson to get a handle on the Bills complicated offense and develop that critical chemistry with the receivers when getting very limited reps as the likely second string quarterback.
The Bills are going all in with Fitzpatrick and if I was Gailey, I would look to my running game to help out my struggling quarterback. The Bills haven't run the ball much in the pre-season but when they have its been effective. Fred Jackson looks like the guy who made the offense go during the first half of last season.
I know its a passing league but Fitzpatrick isn't a "put it all on his shoulders and he'll get the job done" guy. He can win with help around him. He should have additional aid this season with an improved defense but Gailey can help him out even more by leaning on the running game.
I still think the Bills can win with Ryan Fitzpatrick as their starting quarterback but after the last three games, I'm starting to wonder if I'm just trying to convince myself like I did with JP Losman and Trent Edwards.

Hi ,
I'm 22 year-old girl and a huge fan of Naruto. I've been into manga & anime for several years now. Sometimes I think "am I too old for that stuff?" but I see there's many of you around my age here so I feel relieved now I guess one can never be too old for that.
Regularly I read Naruto. I also love other titles such as Bleach and Gintama, but I'm not up to date with them because I rather wait for anime .

Skip to comments.Archaeogenetic research refutes earlier findings
Posted on 06/13/2013 7:27:12 PM PDT by SunkenCiv
...a team of archaeologists excavating in India then claimed to have found evidence that modern humans were there before the eruption possibly as early as 120,000 years ago, much earlier than Europe or the Near East were colonised. These findings, based on the discovery of stone tools below a layer of Toba ash, were published in Science in 2007.
Now Professor Richards working principally with the archaeologist Professor Sir Paul Mellars, of the University of Cambridge and the University of Edinburgh, with a team including Huddersfield University s Dr Martin Carr and colleagues from York and Porto has published his rebuttal of this theory. In doing so, they have been able to draw on a much greater body of DNA evidence that was available for the earlier article.
One of the things we didn't have in 2005 was very much evidence from India in the way of mitochondrial sequences. Now, with a lot of people doing sequencing and depositing material in databases there are about 1,000 sequences from India, said Professor Richards.
By using the mitochondrial DNA of today s populations and working backwards, and by drawing on a wide variety of other evidence and research, the team was able to make much more precise estimates for the arrival of modern humans in India.

Toba super-volcano catastrophe idea 'dismissed'
BBC News | Jonathan Amos

It's always remarkable that the Clovis-first-and-only school claims that the Americas were first colonized in one go, in next to no time -- but no one in the "old world" ever moved much at all. /s
We're only as old as we feel.
Another article on the subject:
A thought ~ Toba killed off the big cats as well as their game making it possible for humans to re-enter the area without much competition or risk of being eaten.
Eventually the big cats returned but the human population was enough to more than match them.
Same idea I have about the Younger Dryas event ~ before the event humans could not readily move permanently into verdant grasslands full of game because of the high population of big cats. After the event, humans owned the place because the cats were gone.
Makes sense for the Americas too. Population could not spread far and wide until the giant American lion died off at the end of the last ice age (although based on numerous sightings from the 1790s to the present, there may be relict populations of the lions still around).
(although based on numerous sightings from the 1790s to the present, there may be relict populations of the lions still around)
are you talking about mountain lions or the lions extincted by the events of the younger dryas.
(I've never read reports of any lions but mountain lions in the USA. as to other big cats, I've seen pictures of jaguars north of the border.)
Same idea I have about the Younger Dryas event ~ before the event humans could not readily move permanently into verdant grasslands full of game because of the high population of big cats. After the event, humans owned the place because the cats were gone.
I thought the problem was the big short faced bear.
A human would be easy prey for a 2,000 lb predator that could run 40mph. Clovis man seemed able to cope with such a critter, but they seemed to have disappeared about the same time the bears did.
The cats were dominant ~ bears were among their 'game' ~ doesn't mean the bears and wolves were nice folks. Look up SABRE TOOTHED TIGER ~ there were three major species ~ all bad ~
Toba's a myth.
Listen buddy, it's Out-of-Africa or nothing. Got it.
Wow and Tamboa was enough to give us a year without a summer.
We have a dormant volcanic formation at the East end of Lake Superior. There's another one in the vicinity of Martinsville and Baden Springs Indiana. I know of one that's still chemically different enough on the top to show up as a large round zone just Souf' of Seymour, Indiana.
Those things are dormant just like the one in Reston, Virginia is dormant.
I don't expect them to blow up any time soon BUT..... (heavy drums beating in the background) .... it's a lot easier to get them to do that than most folks imagined.
BTW, there's one at the confluence of the Rhine and Mein rivers in Deutschland. Even has some still extant vents. It has gone off a time or two since the disappearance of the Eur-Asian ice!
"has published his rebuttal of this theory. In doing so, they have been able to draw on a much greater body of DNA evidence than was available for the earlier article."
Funny how a small typographical error can completely change the meaning of a sentence.
Cranky ping-list responders today, LOL!
Um... I hope they're just kidding.
The main impediment to human settlement that I've seen claimed from time to time is the short-faced bear; the sabretooth cat might have been a bit troublesome too. OTOH, we know human toolmaking and weaponmaking is a couple million years old, too. Weird coincidence.
We had a big sale, we've been out of Africa for a while now.
Thanks m.
Dude could do 40 MPH. So, it could probably prevent human permanent settlement at will.
Which brings me to another thought on that matter. We know the first human beings to permanently settle over a broad area in North America were from Europe ~ the Sa'ami ~ or Clovis Culture people.
So, what is it that they have that bears don't? Well, the Sa'ami have, and had, and may well have had for thousands of years, an item called the SKI.
They can go 60 to 70 MPH themselves.
Those recently revealed rock carvings in the Russian Kola show instructions on how to kill a bear ~ using skis to your advantage.
The article noted the Short Faced bear may well have preyed on the smaller smilodon! But the Sa'ami showed how to trick one to get a new fur coat.
There are lateral faults as well as extended faults that occurred in the same geologic movement that made the first big crack ~ one is the Carmel fault, and there's one under the Wabash where it used to be ~ not where it is today. That's over further East toward Washington County.
These are all UNDER the various layers of limestone, so these are really really really old volcanic vents ~ but they are plugged with material that is easily melted.
You will want to look for PLUTON when it comes to the locations of the hot spots ~ they are all around the central continental core that undergirds much of Southern Indiana ~ but it has its connections to a geologic feature called The Cincinnati Arch.
There is also a mountain range down there buried under various lava flows which are under the limestone!
The locals know about the hot springs at Martinsville, West Baden, and Uniontown ~ my ancestors owned the one at Uniontown. They had hot water and cold water, and sometimes steaming hot water. There is an Indian settlement near there that probably dates back to 9,500 years ago. Same with Martinsville, et al.
The hot springs are a result of ancient residual heat and the circulation of water through it and then back to the surface.
I think Paoli has one too.

Sad about Sketchers
"I usually have great luck with Sketchers but these shoes fell flat. With hardly any support these shoes will leave your feel swollen and sore even after walking through the grocery store. They are also absolutley impossible to clean, even wih rubbing alcohol wipes. These shoes are for show: wear em' around the house but don't plan on taking them for a walk."

Keke: Well hopefully I'll be doing some more movies and stuff like that because I took a break from my movies for a while I was doing the TV show. So I'm looking forward to getting back into some more films while I'm on a break from the show.
Ratha: And her prediction is. . . TRUE! As per news mentioned above.
Q: Is there a character from a novel that you would most like to play in a movie?
Keke: That's so funny that you just said that! Pop Princess! [by Rachel Cohn for ages 12 and up]. I would love to do that as a movie. It's about this young girl that's just getting into the music industry and her sister actually passed away. It's almost a situation if you would think about Michael Jackson and Janet Jackson, [if] Michael passed away when she was younger. Something like that. And it's just really cool. It shows her voyage about coming into the music business and all the temptations that come her way. I thought that'd be really interesting to do a movie like that.
Q: What are some books that have changed your life?
Keke: I'll go back to when I was little, I'd have to say Mick Harte Was Here that was a really cool book to me. We read that in the third grade and I was really sad after I read that. Then Junie B. Jones which my little sister is really into now and I've read probably all of that collection when I was younger.
Ratha: Check out this video where Keke tells us what reading means to her.
Q: What is your favorite healthy meal?
Keke: Oh, I would have to say for breakfast (my makeup stylist actually got me onto this) – granola, yogurt and apples. It is delicious! Even though it's healthy – it tastes so good to me!
Q: What was your favorite outdoor game when you were little?
Keke: Double dutch. Once I learned how to do it. It took me a minute to get the hang of it but when I learned how to do it, man I loved doing that! A lot of fun. When I went to Vacation Bible School, my sister and her friends used to always play it. All the older girls would and I'd try to get into it!
Ratha: I always wanted to learn how to do that!
Q: What do you do when you have free time on your hands now?
Keke: I usually go out with my best friend. We go to Santa Monica Promenade, or the Grove, or walk around Santa Monica Pier. Different stuff like that but usually we're out, doing something. Ratha: For any of you non-LA folks, that's an awesome area on the beach in Los Angeles! There's a ferris wheel, shopping, restaurants and lots of fun hanging out on a pier jutting out into the Pacific Ocean. It's also one of my favorite places to go when I'm in LA!
Q: Do you have a message for your fans? Something to inspire your fans?
Keke: Just to focus on what you're doing and to keep you eye on the goal!
Q: Is there something about you that most people don't know?
Keke: I can pick things up with my feet because I have really big feet! [laughs] I'm telling you like anything. When I get lazy and stuff like that I remember one time my dad was like "You need to clean up this house." And I picked [stuff] up with my foot and he was like, "With your hand! With your hand!"
Ratha: Hmm… I see a new True Jackson episode focusing on Keke's feet. Lots of exciting things going on for Keke! Drop us a line, and let us know what you think! Until next time.

Post your DT placing decks. (or got you into a good ranking.)
Not gonna lie I used FIF's deck.
High Seas Victory [DT Winner]
this is my one and only preset, I developed it long before the age of Avola (hey Wicer that's for you) so don't say anything of the sort. It's pretty cheap, and it helped me get to where I am in DTs, not that I ever won one.... just got 2nd place....
Anyway this deck is great practice, switching some cards will do, as I said, it's in its last stages of editing. Star count is low, good amount of power and decent damage, but overall, a great deck for both beginners and veterans.
and btw I hate making hyperlinks so don't say anything about it
I used Eyrik, Bruce, Emeth, Wardog, Spiaghi, Trish, Jane Ramba, and Thormund.
Alternative builds could be Nahomi to Bruce for one or another could swap Spiaghi out for Uranus 3*, but subbing Bruce out for Dean then. *Shrugs*
All said and done I whipped out multiple Top 25 finishes (definitely could have done better if not for timeouts or my own skill screwing it up) and getting in the top 50 a few times. Top 100 is practically a guaranteed with my personal average of points being around the 220+ Mark. Again, a better player could likely have done better.
For those curious, even in the "worst" situation, Emeth had +10 Attack, and Thormund would have 9 power. Past that, Trish could tear up a lot of cards with the combined -4 power of her ability and everyone enjoyed the -1 Opp. Power Eyrik provided. It could 2HKO with many cards and in a pinch a furious Emeth could bring deal ten if you wanted to/could win that way alone.
Here is my deck in DT's: :-Hugo's DT Deck-
Highest I ever got was 7th
I gained 1st once for about 10 mins
Using a modified version of my deck I posted above...
Correction, placed 9th despite losing more than half of my matches (I really need to work on tactics ;o )

Around the league - Feb 11, 2010
Jason Gregor
February 11 2010 03:07PM
I'm stoked the Olympics are almost here, and unlike most Canadians I actually am looking forward to more than just the hockey tournament. Of course fans will be watching every moment of the men's hockey, and rightfully so, but do the networks really need to try and up-sell it to the fans.
On Home Soil, which aired this week on TSN and Sportsnet, the behind-the-scenes video on how the men's hockey team was chosen was excellent. Don Metz and his crew from Aquila caught pretty much everything. It was great to see the conversations that went on regarding why Steve Yzerman, Kevin Lowe, Mike Babcock and the rest of the management/coaching staff chose the players they did.
Last night on Sportsnet aired The Olympians. It was a feature specifically on Alex Ovechkin and Sidney Crosby, and it talked about the possibility of a gold medal clash between these two and their respective countries. We all know it would be awesome TV to watch Canada take on Russia in the final, of course being in Vancouver and watching it live would be even better, but only a handful have tickets.
However, when Stephen Brunt, a journalist I really respect and appreciate his writings, says things like, "Our hearts will beat like they never have before if these two meet in the final," it makes me cringe.
If you are under 37 then it will be a major event, but even those under 37 have heard the tales of the 1972 Summit Series. I'm sorry a Russia/Canada gold medal match up featuring Crosby v. Ovechkin won't compare. In '72, it was an eight-game series with a volatile political landscape that isn't here today. I know they want people to get excited about the Olympics because our country is hosting them, but let's not make this out to be the best sporting event of our lifetime.
We will all be watching, but don't to pretend it will be bigger than it is. And what if the gold medal is Canada v. Sweden are you telling me that Canadians won't be just as excited/nervous watching that game?
I would argue that watching a seven-game Eastern final between Washington and Pittsburgh might be more entertaining because the drama would build over the course of two weeks. It won't grip our National pride in the same fashion, but the build up and intrigue of a seven game series between the league's two best players would be riveting hockey.
The Olympics will be great hockey, and I'm praying for a Canada/Russia gold medal game, but I don't think the nation's heartbeat will come close to the pounding Canadians felt in 1972.
Sticking with the Olympics, I think Canada and Russia are the two favourites, but you can't discount Sweden. They are the defending champs. The Sedin Sisters are playing great, Henrik Lundqvist is a stellar tender, their defense has a good mix of puck movers and bangers, (Doug Murray is the best Swedish name ever) and their supporting cast of Henrik Zetterberg, Daniel Alfreddson, Patric Hornqvist is under-rated. I think they will give Canada and Russia a run for their money.
The USA has Ryan Miller, but their lineup just doesn't seem to have enough offensive fire power to compete with the top three. It will be great hockey, but I'm just as excited to see some great athletes in the other sports.
Short track speed skating is awesome, as are the aerials, moguls and down hill skiing. Let the Games begin.
Ice women of the week
With the Olympics almost here, here's a few reasons why you might be drawn to watch some other events.
Skier Lindsey Vonn:
Snowboarder Gretchen Bleiler:
And lastly Biba Golic... I know she isn't technically in these Olympics, but she has to be the hottest table-tennis player in the world:
Random thoughts
- Interesting move by the Stars to acquire Kari Lehtonen. It is clear they aren't bringing Marty Turco back, but doesn't that lessen his trade value now that Lehtonen is in the picture? When the Stars were in town Turco admitted his game wasn't as consistent as it should be, but he didn't feel worn down or tired. He won't come close to the $5.7 million cap hit on his next contract, but you have to think a lot of teams would take him for $3 million for a year or two. He'll be 35 next season, but he's only been a starter for seven years and doesn't have a history of injuries. He was a late-bloomer with not much wear and tear on his body.
- The Canucks are 2-3 on their 14-game road trip and have stops in Florida, Columbus and Minnesota before the Olympic break. The Canucks need to make some hay against these non-playoff teams or they'll be in a dog fight when they return in March.
- Ilya Kovalchuk has no goals on 23 shots in four games with the Devils. He'll score eventually, but you do wonder how he'll get along with Jacques Lemaire. Marian Gaborik despised Lemaire when they were in Minnesota, and Kovalchuk is even more of a free-spirit on the ice. It will be interesting to see how those two work together.
- An Ethan Moreau sighting last night. I think it's been three months since anyone has seen the no-teeth grin from Moreau. I'm not surprised his best game in two months came in Anaheim, and a few more games like that will make Steve Tambellini's job of moving his captain much easier.
- The Coyotes just keep winning. I can't explain it, but it is great to see. What happens if in late March and early April the Coyotes are selling out and the Oilers are playing in front of 2,000 empty seats?
- The Sabres are reeling. They've lost five straight, but it's who they are losing to that should be a concern. Losses to Boston, Carolina and Columbus this week has to make Darcy Regier a bit nervous. The Sabres had more shots in every game, but they can't score. Regier needs to bring in a goal-scorer, because Ryan Miller can't win every game by himself.
- Bob Gainey steps down as GM and is now an advisor in Montreal. Kevin Lowe has a better title, but he is basically an advisor for Tambellini. Lowe's primary focus is the running of the Oilers, Oil Kings and now Oklahoma City. I wonder if he was given the advisor title if that would have appeased frustrated Oiler fans? I think until Steve Tambellini makes this roster HIS players people will still think Lowe is involved. The ball
- Steve Ott will be an UFA this summer, and some feel he might get between $2.5- $3 million a season. If he is recovered from his appendectomy surgery by March 1st, I wouldn't be surprised if the Stars deal him. He is one of the best agitators in the game, and one of the best quotes in the league. The Oilers can't afford him, but he is the exact type of player they need.
- The Capitals could become the first team since 1992/1993 to have five 30-goal scorers. Alex Ovechkin, Alex Semin and Nicklas Backstrom are slam dunks. Mike Knuble has 21 in 48 games, while Brooks Laich will be hard-pressed to do it. He'll need 10 goals down the stretch to do it. Vancouver and Tampa Bay have three guys with twenty goals.
- The 1975 Sabres, Rick Martin (52), Rene Robert (40), Gilbert Perrault (39), Don Luce (33), Rick Dudley (31) and Danny Gare (31), the 1978 Islanders, Mike Bossy (53), Bryan Trottier (46), Clark Gillies (35), Denis Potvin, Bob Nystrom and Bob Bourne (30) and the 1985 Jets, Dale Hawerchuk (53), Paul Mclean (41), Laurie Boschman (32), Brian Mullen (32), Doug Small (31) and Thomas Steen (30) had six 30-goal men to share the league record.
- Good to see some of you have been paying attention to the stats. I've noticed how some are just realizing now that Shawn Horcoff is in the lead for the Green jacket with a gaudy -31 ranking. I've been updating that every week in the stats part of this piece. Horcoff and Brind'Amour have been battling for the past six weeks, but Horcoff has jumped ahead. But Patrick O'Sullivan is giving him a run now at -28. Brind'Amour sits at -26 while Robert Nilsson at -21 and Richard Park at -20 round out the leader board.

Final Word
Curious who all you Citizens think should light the Cauldron in Vancouver tomorrow? Wayne Gretzky would be a great choice, but if it was me I'd have Betty Fox, Terry's mom light it. He represented everything that was great about sports.
Isn't that Stacy Keibler in the third pick?
February 11 2010, 03:18PM
How about Jeff Deslauriers to light the torch? He's an expert in things getting lit up...
February 11 2010, 03:20PM
Stacey Kiebler play table tennis? Love the girls this week.
Still no comments on the ethical issue eh... I'll keep waiting, but eventually I'll get bored, ha
I think someone who lost their child in Afghanistan should light the cauldron
February 11 2010, 03:21PM
Excellent choice with Terry's mom. It seems very appropriate.
February 11 2010, 03:23PM
On that final question I really don't care who it is but I wouldn't mind it being someone who actually lives in this country. Betty Fox sounded like a good choice when I heard about hear a few weeks back.
How about Jeff Deslauriers to light the torch? He's an expert in things getting lit up...
February 11 2010, 03:28PM
Bought my first non-Oiler hockey jersey this week. Got an Olympic Crosby Jersey, thank gawd the Olympics will give us something to cheer for this year.
The ice girls this week are the finest ever. Nothing better than athletic girls.
February 11 2010, 03:29PM
I think Mrs. Fox is a good choice. Another would be if there was any surviving members of the Toronto Granites hockey team. First Canadian althletes to win a gold medal in the Winter Olympics.
I think your statement about the 72 series is correct, sort of. There are alot of us that weren't alive for that event. The best we have is a toss up between the 87 Canada Cup and the 2002 Gold Medal.
As an aside, Gregor, you should convince the powers that be to up the strength of your guys' tower, I can't get your show in the large metropolis of Wainwright anymore. You are being overrun but what sounds like Mexican Banditos
Gregor I have been pushing for Ott to be in Edmonton for the last 4 months. I think you could bring him hear for 2.5m a yr, make Ott captian. Let the rebuild begin please.
I believe Gretchen and Biba need some stay late with the coach for some extra practice. Giggity Giggity.
February 11 2010, 03:35PM
What is the deal with Dubnyk? Is there a limit of how many games he can play in the NHL in order to make it back for the roster freeze? Matheson touched base on this, but I really haven't heard anyone else talk about it.
How cool would it be if Zombie Terry Fox lit the torch?
Answer: very cool.
MEMO to TAMBELLINI:
So... Marty Turco would've been the kind of guy to give a long-term deal to. He doesn't turn 35 til August. Good try on Nikki Rehab, though.
Stacey Kiebler play table tennis? Love the girls this week.
I thought that looked like Stacy Kiebler. SHE is hotter than fish grease!
AP: Edmonton, AB
NHL legend and Canadian Icon Wayne Gretzky will be the final torchbearer when the Vancouver 2010 Olympics are officially opened on Friday.
As the single greatest Canadian ever to walk the Earth, it was only natural that #99 was hand picked by the VANOC committee to light the torch. "It's humbling that I have been chosen to light the Olympic Flame" Gretzky commented to reporters Thursday. "It has energized me to the point I am considering a return to hockey, in a playing capacity with the Edmonton Oilers."
- This is what my life has come down to Nation. Writing imaginary press releases, buck naked in front of my computer while bawling uncontrollably. Oh, is there another Oilers loss scheduled for tonight?
As per Nick Kypreos...
RealKyper...Good news on Sam Gagner, MRI negative and will be back after the Olympic break. K http://myloc.me/3IVsQ

She has the nicest butt around, that is from chicks that were in maxim and such. Eva Mendes a close second.

Westjet called. Your ticket to Hell is ready.
You could probably spend a 40 hr work week googling (then oogling) Stacy Kiebler pics. THEE HOTTEST CHICK IN WRESTLING OF ALL TIME.

She has that cute hot to me. Not that I'm hot but a b*tch look.

If you will excuse me, my pantaloons need to be changed as they seem to be soaked in laughter*
Westjet called. Your ticket to Hell is ready.
Bet they'd have a funny hell joke on arrival.
@Ogden Brother Jr. - Team Strudwick for coach
She has that cute-hot-I'm-not-a-bitch-but-I'll-show-you-how-to-ride-the-rodeo kind of appeal. I think I'll give her a call.

Gregor wrote that yesterday. I'm curious why Gregor doesn't tweet stuff like that. Then Rosscreek can post it on the actual day, not days later from good ole Nicky...
Ah... been away from the 'puter for a bit. Must've missed it
Here's some actual pic's of Biba Golic...
Oh ya, I cried when she quit gracing the ring!!!!
February 11 2010, 04:26PM
Yeah my bad...When I googled her images that was the first one that came up and I didn't look close enough and sent to the tech guys...oh well..I'm sure a shot of Keilber didn't ruin your day...
Personally I blame Bingo for leaving Wanye in charge, so no fault to you at all ;)
@Jason Gregor
Quite the contrary, my man. A shot of Kiebler ALWAYS makes the day better. I noticed that Stacy's pic came up first when I googled Biba to see what she looked like. Looks like others have made that mistake too, after linking to a few of the articles on her.
I don't see how aquiring Lehtonen makes Turco less valuable. If anything, it should increase his value now that there's one less goalie on the market. It's not like the Stars have to trade him.
Turco is a UFA at season's end though. I'm sure they'd like to get something for him, and now that they already have Lehtonen, it could be perceived that they may now actually get less than what they would have before.
If they didn't get Lehtonen already, then they could play it as though they "might" trade Turco or they might keep him, thus possibly getting more significant offers. Now teams know they want to move Turco and won't offer as much.
Terry Fox eh?
I'm not touching that one with a 2 ft prosthesis

Next time you might want to get someone with a brain to read your comment before you post it, that was terrible.

That was sort of the point...
My sense of humor is generally more of the "groan with disgust" variety re:Gene Principe's puns
Now, go attack the person who wanted "zombie Terry Fox" to light the Olympic flame
Not to belittle the girls this week because I think you've made some awesome choices, but might I recommend local Alberta "ice girl" Mellissa Hollingsworth. Smokin' hot and she slides down an ice chute head first.
Torch lighting:
I can't think of his name, but he was a local soldier who lost his legs in Afghanistan.
I like the play by play actually.
Here's some actual pic's of Biba Golic...
I'm taking up professional Ping Pong....anyone else want to join me?
*diamonds up*
Horcoff 5.5 million cap. Blair Betts. 55000 cap hit. Betts just signed a 2 extension for 700000per season. Betts 11 points in 40 games this year. Horcoff. Who cares. My point. We could have had this guy for the same cash in the off season. And our face off issues and penalty kill issues may not have been so bad this year. What ifs. Lifes full of them. What if our GM had all the money in the world and could spend to the cap. We would be winners.No Sorry. Life isn't that kind. .

Born July 31, 1941 in Phoenix, Ariz., passed away Jan. 20 2012 at home in Ferron, Utah. Bill was a MP in the Navy for four years stationed in Hawaii. Upon returning to civilian life, he went to work for Bill Johnson's Equipment in Phoenix, Ariz. starting as a machinist and then to shop supervisor, where he spent the next 46 years.
If you met Bill even one time you would never forget him. He had an outrageous sense of humor, and you always knew where you stood with him.
In 1963 at the tender age of 22, Bill met and married Jean Shreve and became the instant father of six children. He taught them how to fish and hunt, and passed his sense of humor on to them. Bill was widowed in 1984, and in 1985 married Shirley Settineri. Shirley passed away August 2010. Bill moved to Ferron to live with his step-son Steven (Vickie) Shreve.
Bill is preceded in death by his mother Maggie Hall Ayers and father Orson Ayers, four brothers, and three sisters, and a step-son David. He is survived by his brother Val Ayers, step-son Steven (Vickie) Shreve, Theresa Bonono, Roxanne (Von) Green, Pam (Russ) Winters, Ruby (Dave) Hall, step-daughter Karen (Oggy) Pina, step-son Phillip Settineri, and many nieces, nephews, and grandchildren.
Per Bill's wishes there was not a funeral or memorial service. There will be a celebration of his life on Feb. 25 beginning at 1 p.m. at the home of Steven Shreve in Ferron.

It's a three-person race for mayor on Nov. 5.
The deadline was Aug. 26 to turn in nomination petitions, and the names are now public.
The current mayor, Jeffrey Huff, will be up against a current councilmember, Tera Radloff, whose term in Ward 1 isn't up until 2016. The other candidate is Dana Hall, who moved to Castle Pines in 2004, and has a management background in the mortgage industry.
If Radloff were to win, the two council seats in Ward 1 will both be empty because the other current Ward 1 councilmember, Kathy DesRosiers, whose seat is up for election, has decided not to run again.
Ward 2, represented by three council seats, has one seat up for election, and current Councilmember Kim Hoffman is not running. But it has a candidate: Resa Labossiere turned in a nomination petition.
Ward 3 has one council seat and until very recently had no representative, since John Ewing left in June because he was moving out of Castle Pines.
Now, two people want it: Jaime Edwards, who was serving as interim city clerk until she became Ewing's interim replacement on Aug. 27 after applying for the job; and Charles Eddlesperger, making Ward 3 a two-candidate race.
The city's current treasurer, Mark Shiveley, has decided not to run again for treasurer. But there is one candidate for the spot: Gregg Fisher, 56, a Castle Pines resident since 2008, whose professional background is management and IT.
"I have a burning desire to do what's best for our city, and I really think at this point we need a set of eyes on everything that will have an unbiased approach," he said. "Look at the numbers — do we have the money, are we going to be a city? … One thing the treasurer should be able to do is present whatever it is in a clear (manner). Math is math."
The city clerk position — vacated by Dan Schatz when he resigned in 2012 and then filled temporarily by Edwards until her recent council appointment — has no candidates.
But with both treasurer and city clerk, there may be no need for candidates if voters — who are being asked this November whether they want to make those two elected positions appointed positions — choose the latter.
Huff told the Castle Pines News-Press that he wants to continue in the position for several reasons, including being there to make sure the library project is completed and the visioning process — meant to help create a strong and charming downtown — continues to gain momentum. But when asked about running against current Councilmember Tera Radloff, he said he thinks "she'd make a fine mayor, too."
Dana Hall, 42, the third mayoral candidate, said she's "very passionate about the community … It's a wonderful place to raise a family." But she would like to make changes, focusing on such things as a street-improvement plan; better financial oversight; stronger relationships amongst various entities; and based on city survey results, she thinks more needs to be done to meet the "desires and needs of the community."
Jaime Edwards, interim Ward 3 councilmember, has lived in Castle Pines for "just over a year," and has worked as a bank examiner for the Federal Reserve Bank.
Edwards said she wants to support the city and the existing businesses, and doesn't want to bring any more businesses in. And she wants to protect the wildlife and the city's beautiful landscapes, which will help protect home values. She also wants to be a councilmember who spends time with residents and plans to set up a series of meetings.
Several candidates couldn't be reached by deadline.

For the second straight night, the Harrisburg High School volleyball team took its opponent to the distance.
Massac County got the better of the Bulldogs Thursday night, earning a Southern Illinois River-to-River Ohio Division matchup with a three set win.
Harrisburg fell behind 25-13 in the first, only to rally in the second, wining 25-23. Massac County took the third and final set with a 25-16 victory.
"Massac has always been a fundamentally sound team," Harrisburg head coach Stephanie Ferrell said."They played excellent defense against our hitters with blocks and digs. We have to work on hitting around the blocks and tooling off them more."
Whitney Younger went 12-for-15 on hits with one kill, while Devan Jones went 10-for-11 on hits with four kills. Hayley Thompson finished 7-for-8 with one kill, while Ashley Ferrell went 6-for-7 with three kills and nine digs on the night.
Malayna Douglas, who finished 34-for-40 on sets with seven assists had 15 digs to lead the Bulldogs. Whitney Younger tacked on 12 digs, while Brittany Reynolds added 11. Reynolds went 31-for-35 on sets with three assists as well. Hannah Bartok also had nine digs, while Parker Upchurch finished with six.
Thompson led Harrisburg with five blocks, while Devan Jones and Brantlea Jones each had two.
The Harrisburg junior varsity team also lost in three sets, winning the first 25-12, but falling 25-22 and 16-14 in the final two. The Bulldog freshmen lost in straight sets 25-14 and 25-14.

With a cushioned and soft midsole, the Altra Torin provides a zero drop, natural running experience without sacrificing protection from road impacts.
If you follow trends in running shoes, you know that the popularity of bare bones, ultra-minimal options has waned during recent months, as more runners are going for more cushioned alternatives that still offer a low offset platform for a natural stride.
The Torin is Altra's option for runners seeking a natural, yet protected ride. The cushioning is on the softer side, but it doesn't completely separate runners from the road, delivering a bit of feedback from the ground. Though the zero drop design encourages a forefoot landing, the cushioning is ample for some heelstriking as well.
The fit is characteristic of Altra's offerings, featuring a wide toebox and open midfoot. For those not used to Altra shoes, the fit takes a few runs to acclimate to, but testers found the fit to provide ample room for the splaying of the toes through the gait cycle, while easily accommodating higher volume or wider feet.
We found the Torin to be suitable as a high mileage trainer for those used to a zero drop design, or as an entry-level shoe for runners looking to shift towards more minimal options.
"This shoe fits like a typical Altra. It's roomy, but I feel that the lacing system and heel do a good job of keeping things secure."
"This shoe is great for running on your forefoot. I was easily able to get up on my toes and run like a ninja."
"The cushioned zero offset design felt less straining to me than more minimal zero drop options, which makes the Torin a better choice as an entry-level zero drop option."

Photographer's interests are limitless
Jeanne Archambeault/Times
John Ninnemann's photography is one of the newest displays at the Raven House Gallery. It's an interesting combination of black and white photos, color and digital photos that he has taken over the years.
But his interests don't stop there.
Ninneman is the quintessential Renaissance man, dabbling in not just photography, but music, teaching, biology, writing and the study of ancient astronomy. He spends his summers as a naturalist guide for "Off the Beaten Path", an organization that offers travel experiences, and serves on several boards. He loves the community of Mancos and strives to further his knowledge any way that he can.
"I love to learn new things," Ninnemann said. "And I love to take pictures of the things I see."
The thing that has really piqued his interest in the last few years is the ancient astronomy in this area. He has spent several winter solstices in the canyons of Chaco Canyon, observing and photographing the sunrises and sunsets that occur there. He believes that the sun, in its cycle, rises and sets over certain places where the Ancients built.
"I can't believe that the placement and orientation of the buildings are accidental in this part of the world," he said. "Where did they get the knowledge?"
The sun's cycle is not the only one that he's observed.
Ninnemann, in 2007, went to Mesa Verde and saw that, inside the Square Tower at Cliff Palace, there are 19 hash marks that were put there by Ancient Puebloans. He went on to explain that the lunar cycle is just short of 19 years long. Then he told how every 19 years, from the vantage point of the Square Tower, the moon sets over Sun Temple, another archeological site at Mesa Verde, across the canyon.
"Why would one culture be astronomically aware of this cycle and another one not?" he said. "I've been interested in this for about 20 years." Much of his time is spent observing this, he said, and is the subject of many of his photos.
In his research, he's found that the Hopi and Zuni cultures have sunwatchers, men who specifically watch for just this kind of thing with the sun's cycle, how the sun rises in alignment with certain buildings or kivas. These two cultures only follow the sun's cycle; not the lunar cycle.
But, he said, there are skeptics all over. He's not out to prove them wrong, though. He just wants to learn more about the ancient cultures, what they contributed to astronomy, and further the hypotheses that he has found.
Ninnemann went to graduate school in electron microscopy at Colorado State University. "There I had a darkroom for my studies and I was hooked on the black and white photography. I just turned it into a recreational hobby," he said.
He still likes film, darkrooms and black and white photography, as he thinks it fits well with astronomy. But, he said, it's getting harder and harder to get supplies.
Most of the photographs he has on display at Raven House are of Mesa Verde and ravens — none of his astronomical studies.
"I'd like to see Mancos take off as a well-recognized art center. We need that identity to bring people in," he said.
Ninnemann is a violinist for the San Juan Symphony Orchestra, has co-written three books — one on the Ancestral Puebloan world and two about mining camps in Colorado — and has exhibited his photography in several area galleries.
So, as a retired biology professor, who taught at Fort Lewis College, and has been a dean in several arts and science departments, he misses the academic life. "I miss the students," he said.
But just a little; he has much more to keep him busy.
Ninneman's photographs can be seen at Raven House any time. He is also going to have an exhibit, titled "Ancient Skywatchers of the Southwest", at the Anasazi Heritage Center from Nov. 23 to April 27, 2013. The opening reception will be Nov. 25 at 1 p.m.

GREEN RIVER, UTAH- On July 2, 2008, Green River lost it's oldest citizen, great story teller and "rare" character. Joseph Alma Scovill passed away at his home surrounded by his loving family. He was born Sept. 8, 1909 in Orangeville, Utah, the second of 10 children, to Alma Ashel Scovill and Artemissia Burnett. This is where he spent his childhood before coming to Green River, Utah when he was about 18 years old.
He met the love of his life, Leona May Bigelow when she was only about 13 or 15 years of age, so he waited for her to turn 18 so he could marry her. This took place June 22, 1932 at the Bigelow Farm in Green River. The marriage was later solemnized in the Manti LDS Temple.
They had five sons and one daughter, Christopher Duane (deceased), Jolene (Glen) Dalton of Green River, Utah, Lyle (Kerry) Scovill of Mesquite, Nev., Loyd Scovill of Grand Junction, Colo., Gary Jo Scovill of Grand Junction, Colo., and Van Ray (Denise) Scovill of Idaho Falls, Idaho. He is survived also by one brother, Claude (Jeanne) Scovill of Orangeville, Utah and one sister Emma Jean Chidester of Price, Utah. He has 17 grandchildren, 19 great-grandchildren, and seven great-great-grandchildren.
He was preceded in death by his parents, wife; Leona, son; Duane, brothers; Amasa, Orien, Elmer and Van, sisters; Leola, Sarah and Helen.
After coming to Green River he worked as a barber, shaving Zane Grey many times. He tells of his memories of Butch Cassidy and recalls gun fights on Main Street. He was also friends with Jack Dempsey. He worked for the railroad for many years, ran a gas station, drove gas truck, and after retirement worked at the missile base as water plant operator.
Our loss is Heaven's gain!
Mom and Dad traveled all over and loved camping in their trailer. They were also part owners in a Drive-In Theater in Green River for many years and every night after the show he would say "turn off your speaker, turn to the right and good night."
Funeral services were held Monday, July 7, 2008 at 2 p.m. at the Green River LDS Chapel. A viewing was Monday, from 12:30-1:30 p.m., at the church prior to the services. Interment followed the services at the Price City Cemetery in Price, Utah. Services were in the care of Fausett Mortuary.
