north korea does not fart before it got approval from bejiing[/QUOTE]
To recap, it seems your entire argument is this;
The US had to place itself as a controlling state to protect form the USSR. According to you, its only objective was to defend from Soviet aggression.
But if this were true, US action after the Cold War, and US action independent of the Cold War should show the US is a peaceful, democratic, liberal country should it not? So lets analyze AFTER the Cold War to confirm this;
Lets look at the Middle East. Lets look at South East Asia. Lets look at South America. Lets look at the Grand Area fifty years after it was planned for US supremacy.
Lets look at the latest coups after the Cold War and US support for UNDEMOCRATIC, ILLIBERAL, AUTHORITARIAN regimes in these areas, and lets look at American SUPPRESSION of democracy.
The Cold War ended in 91, with the USSR opening itself to the world, and being met with the realization it was militarily and economically destroyed. With this knowledge the US had no reason to maintain its superpower hegemony - yet it did!
Today, whilst it claims to support 'freedom and democracy' in the middle east, it still financially and militarily supports the authoritarian dictatorship in Egypt and the undemocratic religio-political authoritarian regime of the House of Saud in Saudi Arabia, whilst giving arms to the military regime in Pakistan. In the last decade alone it has supported military uprisings and authoritarian groups in Venezuela, Honduras and Haiti.
Not only this but the US has retained the upkeep of its hundreds of thousands of troops stationed around the world and the near 800 military facilities it owns across international land.
This are not the actions of some peaceful, capitalist democracy that seeks nothing but self preservation. These are the actions of an imperial hegemon that seeks entirely to maintain its own power.

The Booyah Alton Jones A-Jig was one of the baits Alton Jones used to win the 2008 Bassmaster Classic. The Booyah A-Jig features a hand-tied round rubber and silicone skirt. The round rubber creates full shaping and an enormous amount of fish-enticing motion. Silicone strands allow for fabulous color combinations. The Booyah A-Jig is equipped with a 5/0 extra-strong black nickel hook and handy Plasti-Keeper spike.
"The skirts of these jigs are the key to their action. You can work one dead slow and still have a great, realistic profile. It's a perfect imitation of a slow-moving crawfish".
Alton Jones, 2008 Bassmaster Classic Champion

Customer Reviews
Comments: An update on my previous review: Some time ago I caught on this jig what was at that time my 3rd biggest bass ever! And I caught some nice bass after that. All my bigger bass were caught on the Nest Robber color while casting the jig far and slowly dragging it on the bottom with some twitches. The fish bit when the jig contacted some cover (rocks or stumps) and I twitched it. I love this jig and have not lost a single fish on it!
From: Marco: Portugal
Comments: I have been using jigs all summer since a friend introduced me to them, these have become my go to jig under any condition. They always catch fish! The skirt is extremly durable, the only thing is the weedguard falls out on a rare occasion but to prevent this just put a drop of superglue when opening it and it will last forever. The average size of bass you catch with these will greatly increase. it works no matter how you fish it. Get one!
From: Cobi: MI
Comments: Great jig! I'm starting to fish jigs more because I know they're one of the best lures for big bass, but I didn't had much confidence in them. A few days ago I went to one of my local lakes and fished this jig (with a 5" Yamamoto double tail grub) from the bank. I pitched it into an opening in the weeds and caught a bass! It was the first fish I caught while pitching and now I have more confidence in jigs! The skirt (the rubber strands) on this jig is HUGE! you can leave it that way or cut it to match the lenght of the silicone strands. One tip is to cut the rubber strands to the size of the silicone strands and leave just 2 rubber strands of the original size to mimic crawdad antennae! It has a nice action! This jig also stands up in the bottom really well and the hook is very strong and sharp.
From: Marco: Portugal
Comments: This jig looks awesome. living rubber skirts are THE BEST for pressured waters. this jig becomes alive in the water and looks diffrent from all other jigs. give them a try, you will be glad you did.
From: Michigan, USA

What's for (Vegan) Supper?
Vegetarian activists demonstrate during a "Veggie Pride" event in Lyon, France.
(photo: Jean-Philippe Ksiazek/AFP/Getty Images)
Exhaustion. A tough day and I was late leaving work when I realized that it was my night to cook for my vegan housemates. What easy, go-to meal did I have in my repertoire that I could whip up quickly without shopping ahead or thinking too much? Chili? Nope, meat. Omelet? Nope, eggs. Quesadillas? Cheese. Spinach soufflé? Eggs, milk and cheese! Arriving home, I glanced at the newly constructed cooking schedule to find that it was not my night to cook after all. A reprieve. Sometimes work and life collide unexpectedly and serendipitously. This week, as I migrated comments from previous releases of "The Ethics of Eating" show into our current commenting system, I learned, of course, that our listeners are thoughtful, passionate, and diverse. While many expressed appreciation for Barbara Kingsolver's reflection on her year of eating locally, some were outraged at the fact that she referred to slaughtering animals for food as "harvesting" them. Some found her yearlong experiment to be steeped in economic privilege. Still others considered it to be an impractical if not unsustainable way of life given limits of time and energy.
As I read these comments, I couldn't ignore the fact that my current situation roots me centrally in these ideological and spiritual questions. Two weeks ago, I welcomed two new housemates into my home for the coming year. Our intention is to not only share expenses and responsibilities, but to share meals together as well. It won't be simple. They are vegans; I am not. They buy only organic products and shop exclusively at the co-op; I shop sales at a large supermarket. They are home much of the day; I have a full-time job.
Suddenly I find myself challenged with the very questions and decisions that Kingsolver and On Being listeners invite me to face. Some of these challenges expose a lack of clarity in my own belief system, while others expose a misalignment between my held and lived values. So as I embark on my own yearlong experience with (at least partial) veganism, I open myself to these challenges and the myriad questions that accompany them:
Is killing a sentient being for food cruel or is doing so simply playing my part in a carnivorous food chain? Am I able to integrate my love of animals and the bond to my pets with eating animal meat and loving a good steak? Am I willing or able to spend the extra money it takes to eat organically and locally? Where will I find the time and energy it takes to work full time and prepare healthy meals?
As I settle into the messiness of these questions, I'll start planning ahead about what to serve the vegans this week.

AMD Launches FX CPUs with Bulldozer Architecture
Jansen Ng
October 12, 2011 12:01 AM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
AMD FX series chart (click to enlarge)
Eight-core Zambezi flagship to challenge Intel's Core i7
AMD has launched its much anticipated FX series of desktop CPUs using the
architecture. Codenamed
, the 32nm chips represent the company's top offerings for enthusiasts.
is the first complete redesign of AMD's processor architecture since the K7
was launched in 1999, and features significant improvements in manufacturing, design, and cost reduction.
The drive for efficiency and greater instructions per clock (IPC) was the original impetus for
. Long gone are the days of simply increasing clock speed for easy performance gains. AMD and Intel have been increasing the number of CPU cores, but that takes up a lot of die space. Intel has been pushing HyperThreading as its way of maximizing efficiency, and is pretty good when a CPU stalls due to a cache miss, branch misprediction, or data dependency. However, AMD has decided to go a markedly different route.
module provides an independent, dedicated integer and scheduler unit for each core. A single floating point unit is shared between the two cores in a
module, along with the fetch and decode units and a 2MB L2 cache. There is a 16KB L1 data cache per core, as well as a 64KB L1 instruction cache per module. This adds up to an impressive 128KB L1 data cache, 256KB L1 instruction cache, and 8MB L2 cache for an eight-core FX processor.
Theoretically, this should provide much better performance than HyperThreading, which functions best when there are a lot of CPU stalls because all threads must compete for available execution resources. HyperThreading increases performance by approximately 30% at a cost of 5% extra die space, but the second integer core in Bulldozer could almost double integer performance at a die cost of only 12%.
The Bulldozer architecture was originally supposed to debut in the first half of 2009, and would've enabled AMD to compete toe-to-toe with Intel on pure performance, rather than on pricing alone. However, various financial difficulties and a major recession led to delays, while the divestment of its
manufacturing capacity into GlobalFoundries
led to some technical delays. Almost three years late, the design has been updated significantly in order to accommodate the latest technologies and manufacturing processes.
FX chips are built by GlobalFoundries on its 32nm Silicon on insulator (SOI) process. The eight core
chips have around two billion transistors and a die size of approximately 315mm
. An integrated northbridge unit supplies an 8MB L3 cache, four 16-bit HyperTransport 3.0 links, and the integrated memory controller. Depending on the model, it runs at either 2.2Ghz or 2.0GHz. The most significant update to the integrated dual-channel memory controller is native support for DDR3 memory at 1866MHz (DDR3-1866/PC3-14900). ECC memory is still supported; a welcome relief to those who are planning on FX-based workstations, as Intel only supports ECC memory on its much more expensive Xeon workstations.
There are instruction sets aplenty: SSE3, SSE4.1/4.2, AES, and AVX. AMD is also introducing support for FMA4 and XOP. FMA4 can be thought of as specific instructions designed to speed up Fused Multiply–Add (FMA) operations. XOP is a revision of the SSE5 instruction set, redesigned to be more compatible with Intel's AVX.
The four new FX chips being launched today will require motherboards with socket AM3+, but the good news is that enthusiasts will be able to upgrade to a top of the line FX-8150 for $245. The FX-8120 will be available for $205, while the six-core FX-6100 will be priced at $165. The four-core FX-4100 with a 95W TDP is available for only $115. All FX chips are unlocked, and AMD has already set the Guinness World Record for the "Highest Frequency of a Computer Processor" by overclocking a
chip to 8.429 GHz.
Several speed bumps are already planned for Q1 and Q2 of 2012 as GlobalFoundries 32nm process matures. However, Bulldozer won't move into into the mainstream until the
refresh next year.
cores featuring DirectX 11
Fusion technology

processor will supplant

Rated 4 out of 5Â by ginger1941 Cute I bought these as a gift for my daughter who likes fun things. The sheets look like the picture. They seem to be good quality for the price. They are not quite the old percale sheets of the 50s and 60s, but they are close. September 9, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by cookiebird Happy Go Monkey Bought the set of monkey sock sheets and a sock monkey for my daughter for her birthday....no, she is not a young child, but she grew up and carried her sock monkey around...thought she might like to have this item for her 51st birthday. December 10, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by cookycrumb Just what I was looking for My granddaughter loves monkeys and I saw this and knew it was the perfect Christmas gift. She will be thrilled. However, I did order a 2 lb bag of mixed candy, seller's choice and I was not happy with that. There wasn't a single piece of chocolate in the whole lot and most of it was very hard and difficult to chew. Even my grandkids said it was too hard. November 13, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by crafty lady Grandchildren love the monkeys. I have made several sock monkeys for our grandchildren, and these sheets are perfect with them. August 20, 2013

Rated 5 out of 5Â by Grandma P Sock Monkey Sheets We bought these for our Granddaughter for her Birthday but couldn't wait so we had them sent to her now. When she got home from school and opened them she was so excited that she and her mom went right up stairs and put them on her bed. She loves them and so do her girlfriends. February 14, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by NHWifey Granddaughter loved them I bought these sheets for my 4 year old granddaughter as part of a 'sock monkey' theme for her birthday. I also bought her the sock monkey and the sock monkey knit hat. She loved her presents and couldn't wait to get the sheets on the bed. I had to order the sheets from the store because they weren't in stock. The order process was very easy and the sheets arrived less than 1 week later. November 8, 2012

Six Emery County residents pled guilty to vehicles on posted land, a class B misdemeanor, in Justice Court on May 11. State statute 41-22-10.1. states that currently registered off highway vehicles may be operated on public lands, trails, streets or highways that are posted by sign or designated by map or description as open to off highway vehicle use by the controlling federal, state, county or municipal agency. The six residents were in an area clearly barricaded and posted as closed.
Judge Stan Truman heard the pleas and sentenced the residents to each pay a fine of $250 and 50 hours of community service. The community service hours are to be worked through the Bureau of Land Management or an off highway vehicle club.
Jeffery Walkenhorst, Lana Walkenhorst, George Shurtleff, June Shurtleff, Preston Shurtleff and Cord Hansen were all present in court for the action. Lana Walkenhorst was additionally charged with a class C misdemeanor charge of interference with a public servant, to which she was fined an additional $555 fine and 30 days in jail.
The jail time will be stayed upon satisfactory completion of the community service and payment of the fines.

Working in the Media Services department, I have spent a lot of time recently helping people find their favorite holiday movies. Many of them (Christmas Vacation, Elf) are comedies and that got me thinking about humorous holiday stories. Many favorites are light-hearted, but I couldn't think of any that were actual comedies.
Luckily, our eBook collection has several stories that combine "Ho, Ho, Ho" with "Ha, Ha, Ha." Check out these titles:
- Festivus: the Holiday for the Rest of Us - a complete guide to George Constanza's favorite holiday, including it's history, food & drink and songs.
- Santa Responds - Santa's letters to kids are full of straight talk, and a little snark.
- Santa Retires - After a nice vacation, Santa decides he's ready for hang up his red and white hat.
Happy Reading!

Bills without four players vs. Panthers
by Joe Buscaglia
posted Aug 8 2014 4:33PM
-- The Buffalo Bills are approaching their second preseason game, but they'll be a little shorthanded due to some lingering injuries from both the offseason and training camp. When the Bills take the field at Bank of America Stadium to go up against the Carolina Panthers, four players on the active roster will not be available.
The team announced that cornerback Leodis McKelvin, safety Kenny Ladler, tackle Edawn Coughman and safety Derek Brim will not play against the Panthers on Friday night. Tackle Cordy Glenn will also be unavailable, but he has not been activated off the Reserve/Non-Football Illness list to this point, and is not a member of the active roster.
The Bills suffered two injuries on Wednesday afternoon, the team's final practice session of the week before the upcoming contest, when defensive tackle Marcell Dareus (hamstring) and safety Jonathan Meeks (neck) each had to leave the practice early. It is unknown how much playing time they will get in this game, if they get any at all.
Keep checking back for more as it becomes available.

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — South Korea's government said Thursday that it has reached out to North Korea to discuss restarting a jointly run factory park after weeks of testy silence between the two sides.
The industrial complex in the North Korean city of Kaesong, just north of the Demilitarized Zone dividing the two Koreas, has been shut since a political showdown in April.
As South Korea held military exercises with the U.S. not far from the border, North Korea pulled its 53,000 workers in protest. South Korea then ordered its managers to leave as well, against their wishes.
The closing of Kaesong, the centerpiece of joint projects hatched during a previous era of warming ties between the wartime foes, dealt a symbolic blow to reconciliation efforts between the divided Koreas. The project, which facilitated nearly $2 billion a year in cross-border trade, had been the last joint project left as relations soured over the past five years.
The closure also meant a loss of salary for tens of thousands of North Korean workers employed in hundreds of South Korean-run factories, and a loss of goods and orders for business managers who relied on Kaesong to churn out everything from shoes and watches to cables and electrical components.
On Thursday, South Korea said it proposed holding working-level talks with North Korean officials in the truce village of Panmunjom inside the DMZ.
Seoul wants to set the grounds for discussions on restarting the idled factory park, as well as ways to manage the facilities and goods that South Korean businesses left behind. South Korea proposed holding talks Saturday and said it would send three delegates, the Unification Ministry said.
There was no immediate response from Pyongyang.
However, on Wednesday, North Korea responded to a plea from South Korean business managers seeking to visit Kaesong to move their goods and equipment out of the park.
The business managers specializing in machinery and electronics production at Kaesong said they want to move their gear out due to worries of damage from the July rainy season, the South Korean government said.
Pyongyang previously had refused the South Koreans permission to cross the border into Kaesong to check on their idled factories.
The two Koreas had tried last month to hold talks on Kaesong and other stalled projects at Mount Kumgang on North Korea's east coast. The talks in Seoul would have been the first senior -level meeting in years. But the plans broke down over a protocol issue.
The Korean Peninsula has remained in a technical state of war since 1953, when Korean War foes signed an armistice to end three years of fighting.

Extremely effective but with extremely mixed results

Extremely effective but with extremely mixed results
First off, never take more than one in one go. Second, yes, it helped with my desire but not necessarily physical performance. Very importantly, it kicks in about 3 hours later and do not take it along with stimulants, eg. coffee, tyrosine, etc...because it can cause serious rapid heart beat to the point of real danger, especially if you already have hypertension. God bless.
Too potent for label
Posted by Reviewer3017211 on May 26, 2010
When another company quit selling their 600 mg product I tried their 2000 mg but they were too strong and made me terrbily sick with classic OD symptoms. I tried this product and at 500 mg one made me so sick (much sicker for longer than the 2000 mg) for nearly 12 hours if I hadn't recognized the symptoms from literature I would've gone to the ER. Be cautious about this.

Began taking this for ED. I have read elsewhere that Natrol has reformulated this at some point in the last two or three years, and the reformulation made it much more powerful. I took 1 capsule and after about an hour it was very obviously working for me. In fact, it made a huge difference, if you catch my drift... However, the after-affects were significant. Very quickly I broke out into cold sweats. I was shivering and yet sweating quite a bit with a pounding irregular heartbeat. I also was not able to sleep that night at all. I am told that taken daily these side affects become less, but it's hard to imagine taking this daily. Next time I only took half a capsule. Still did the job for me, but side affects were still too severe and I was still up all night. I now divide each capsule into 5 even doses. It still works for me at that dose, although not as well, but still well enough. And the side affects are tolerated. One bottle will last me awhile. The benefit is worth the unpleasant after-affects.

Bought it for weight training regimen - but it had other beneficial effects
Posted by Reviewer1316272 on May 27, 2008
I always liked the pump I got when working out with Yohimbe - after all, it is an effective vasodilator. I stopped taking it for about ten years through most of my thirties, then decided to start up again when I went back to heavy weight training. I started noticing high school type erections at night. It has really helped in the bedroom. Moreover, when I checked out other herbal ED remedies, I noticed most have Yohimbe in them - for 10 times the price. You can't beat the price on this product, or its benefits.
Posted by Reviewer2849787 on Jan 02, 2010
This product turned out to be of very high quality. Compared to the same substance that I've gotten in the past, this was of superior quality and it's effects were much longer lasting than I'd expected. It's stimulating properties may find you lying in bed wondering why you can't get to sleep.... use with appropriate timing.
Solid product.

Was not aware that yohimbe was used to solve ED and to help with erections etc. Do not have problems with erections since I stopped watching porn and fapping. See The Great Porn Experiment Gary Wilson, TEDs Glasgow. Using yohimbe erections are indeed stronger, the morning wood is very solid due to yohimbe. Do use yohimbe as catalyst for fat burning with clen, which works very well.

October 1 News and Notes
Robert Cleave
October 01 2010 11:34AM
October. It's the time of year when the evenings finally cool, the leaves turn and fall, and we can finally focus on real hockey. Or, if you live where I do, it's the first time in several months where it isn't going to rain every second damned day and I can sneak a few last rounds on the golf course before the Manitoba winter takes hold.
Ah, but that's not important now, and there is plenty to discuss in this week's round-up. The Flames finally shed a few bodies, the neighbours have one that they'd really like to have disappear, and injuries are not just an issue in Cowtown.
Camp is drawing to a close for NHL teams and like every other club, the Flames have begun to cast aside the pretenders. Greg Nemisz and Staffan Kronwall were both earmarkedfor a move down yesterday, as the former Spitfire was sent to the AHL, and his older colleague was waived with the intent of doing the same. I suppose Kronwall could have been picked up by a team looking for cheap help, but he's cleared enough times in the last few years that I suspect that every other team in the league sees him as nothing more than AHL fodder at this point, and that has held true again.
Nemisz, well, that young man has a ways to go. His CHL numbers would suggest he'd be a player that should be at least a first/second liner in the AHL this year, but I'm not sure. He doesn't have much burst, and until he becomes quite a bit stronger, he can't muscle professional players. He's absolutely a long-term project.
Amongst the living, Stefan Meyer has earned another week in main camp after a few spirited showings. The absence of several veteran Flame centers is still the primary reason for him getting an extended look unless he's suddenly going to outrun a fairly pedestrian AHL pedigree, and with Jokinen's injury not deemed serious and the news that Matt Stajan is shooting the odd puck, I suspect this weekend will be his last in town. That noted, he and Jon Rheault have had nice enough camps, and with Ryan Stone still not skating, one of them might stick for a while. At a minimum, they should help ease the way in the AHL for the bevy of new additions to the Heat.
On the back end, two young men appear to be taking divergent paths at the moment. For T.J. Brodie, it's been nothing but songs about chocolate and girls this September. Even if he's sent down next week, Brodie appears to have surpassed John Negrin, Kronwall and Matt Pelech on the depth chart, which wouldn't have been suspected coming in to camp. He'll get another chance or two to give the roster a shake this weekend against the Grease, maybe beginning tonight at the Rex.
Matt Pelech, on the other hand, as Kent has just covered offbelow, is struggling. His slowness afoot is certainly an issue, but slower guys can make it if they read the game, and the Flames have exhibit A on the roster wearing number 28. It's the decision making aspect that Pelech is still a bit deficient at, and it makes me wonder if the injuries and lost developmental time have caught him out. The only thing he has over the remaining defenders in camp is the cheapness of his contract, and that might not be enough to keep him around.
The Oilers have had a nice pre-season run, with their famous young men drawing plenty of attention. Magnus Paajarviand Jordan Eberle have produced a fair bit of offence in the exhibition campaign, and I'd suspect that they and Taylor Hall will all play in the first real game next week, irrespective of the current debate in the Oilogisphere. Those luxury boxes and high-end tickets don't just sell themselves when a team hasn't sniffed the playoffs in four seasons, even in a Canadian market, so hope is the Oilers' marketing hook.
One thing the Oil assuredly aren't selling is a roster that will have Sheldon Souray hanging around, or so it appears, at any rate. The blueliner cleared waivers this morning, and Steve Tambellini's utterances suggest that he might be exposed to recall waivers, on the off-chance that a team will take him aboard at half-price. Washington is the one decent team out there with the cap space to add a 2.7M hit without having to clear salary, and CapGeek shows them down a couple of bodies on the current roster. They do have 7 D listed, but I doubt they're married to the idea that Tyler Sloan or even Karl Alzner have to play this year.
The Dys have their own bits of intrigue at the moment. Brendan Morrison is in tough to make the roster as a tryout candidate, although Cam Davie at Canucks Army suspects that the former West Coast express stalwart has done enough to make the roster as the fourth pivot. If Morrison is left behind, I hope people don't get the idea that he'd be much help in Calgary. Whatever the Flames may or may not need, another soft minutes center isn't any solution.
Tonight's tilt against Anaheim may also include the return of Roberto Luongo to the Canuck line-up after a brief sit-down due to a groin injury. I'll be interested to see if the whole captaincy thing has any impact at all on his play. My sense is that it's one of those trivialities that people use as a post-facto explanation for a player's performance. Luongo's post-season issues against the Hawks the last two years had as much to do with playing against a team with superior firepower as anything between his ears, IMO.
As the center of the universe continues its obsession over the fate of a marginal NHLer, the Globe and Mail asks whether a business operating in the manner of most normal businesses can succeed in their secondary quest of operating a winning set of teams. MLSE is certainly interested in making a profit, but in the case of the Leafs, they're a cap team. If they stink, it's almost certainly a function of management, just as in Calgary, Edmonton or anywhere else where ownership will green-light spending to the max. I suppose you could argue that MLSE hasn't permitted their mangers to operate freely, but the painful experience that was the JFJ years might lead one to think they were too tolerant if anything. If Brian Burke fails, it's because he failed on his own terms.
In Anaheim, the Ducks appear ready to add a teenager to the ranks. Cam Fowler's slide down the draft order always had the whiff of teams out-smarting themselves, and he looks like he'll have a chance to prove just that on a depleted Duck blueline. That team's going nowhere in the short term, but if they can find one more decent young defender that, would complete a long term core few teams would be able to match.
The Penguins have roster news of their own, but it isn't the happy sort. Jordan Staal isn't likely to start the year in a healthy state, and the Pens will miss him more than most people realize. He plays the toughs most nights for Pittsburgh, and does so without the benefit of cushy ZS numbers. Sidney Crosby deserves every last accolade he gets, but he doesn't row that boat all by himself, irrespective of what the league's hype artists would have you believe. As an aside, I'll be interested to see how the HBO series following the Pens and Caps to the Winter Classic plays out. There was plenty of tongue wagging from self-appointed moral scolds when Rex Ryan unleashed a few naughty words on Hard Knocks. Absent some fairly heavy censorship, there's every chance that locker room scenes from the NHL series will match that level of verbal, er, creativity. There are more than a few hockey players that sound like these gents when they're away from the microphones.
"There's a huge cap circumvention," one team executive said. "It allows teams that can afford it to make a five or six million-dollar mistake."
That's from Craig Custance's piece at the Sporting News. I know the default explanation from sensible people is that rich teams were always going to benefit from the CBA provisions as they're currently written, and that teams aren't cheating when they warehouse salary in the minors. I agree with all that, and don't think there's anything to be worked up about in that regard. The Flames might have to utilize those means to hide an expensive contract or two if they can't make a deal at some point this season, and I'd hope they wouldn't restrain themselves based on a few teams squawking in the press.
That stated, the comments from GMs and team execs don't give me the sense that these complaints are meant to get the league to act a la the Kovalchuk matter. My suspicion is that we're seeing this issue raised by small-market teams as a marker for the next round of bargaining. We often discuss CBA matters as being strictly between the league and the players, but there are clear schisms amongst the ownership groups as well. The league papered over those cracks long enough to get a deal with the players in 2005, but since then the cap system hasn't really worked as advertised. Small market teams have been forced to up payroll in excess of revenues just to reach the floor, and have done so while watching players like Alex Mogilny receive millions from wealthier clubs to remain in the minors. Like I said, it's all on the up and up, but if you're looking for an issue that divides owners, this might be one.
All you ever want to do is drink and watch TV. Frankly that thing doesn't really interest me.
I doubt Justin Bourne has a cat named Virtue, but his piece about what players dealing with a long term injury endure, and not just physically, is worth a visit to Puck Daddy.
Next week, we'll have a real game to discuss. In the interim, if you see anything of note, link it in the comments. Pat and Ryan will be by later today with game previews for the Flames' visit to Edmonton.

Great stuff as usual Robert.
Good overview. Love the Weakerthans reference as well!
We sympathize with you Robert, the summer in Calgary never came to be...until this past week.
I can admit that with their depleted defense I am very surprised that Anaheim has not pried one of our D-men away...would we be upset if Staios or Sarich were sent away for a 6th or 7th rounder? I can't see that many GM's sitting and waiting to pluck Pelech off waivers...but stranger things have happened.
Might be worth it to keep an eye on Luongo...groin troubles seem to pop up with him each year lately. While seemingly minor, if it keeps happening it could become an issue for him.
I wait anxiously to see if Khabiboulin will also get the start or see playing time here in Calgary on Sunday. Mostly I want to see how many signs will be on display reading:
It may be in bad taste but you know they'll be there!
This is pretty basic question, but it's one I have wondered for a little while: Does the NHL set the pre-season schedule or does each team organize its own? I would assume each team does, as it is pretty much an extension of training camp and is only used as an evaluation tool to shape rosters, but still it's nagging at me...

Pat, Robert or Kent are more qualified to give a concrete answer...but I don't think I'm too far off to say it's a little of column A and a little of column B.
For the Flames...they have to inform the NHL when the Saddledome is available. I know for the games in Saskatoon that is something that was a Flames request a number of years ago. I'm not sure about this year, but in past years they have worked in conjuction with the Saskatoon Blades as well as some local charities and promoted the upcoming games. The same holds true for the rookie tournaments that go on prior to the official training camp. While I'm sure there is some type of NHL involvement (Officials and observers) I think it's up to the teams to handle most of the details as these tournaments are hosted by various teams each year around the league.
As far as who they face and how often during the preseason...I believe that is determined by the NHL, though if I'm wrong I hope the contributers to this site will correct me and can provide more detailed information.
Thanks Bob!
Here's my heads up to everyone, and by everyone I mean George McPhee.
Although, all of you are smarter than me, and so is George McPhee, so you're probably already all over this.
Here's my tip. The Panthers are not going to be a playoff team this year.
Why is that important?
Because,.. At the end of this season, Tomas Vokoun is going to be an unrestricted free-agent and since he is arguably the best goalie in the NHL in the last 5-10 years, he's going to be in high demand and Vokoun to Washington seems an obvious fit (other than the same division thing)
If I were the Caps, I wouldn't be jeopardizing any ability to get Vokoun as a rental, and re-up Vokoun for a couple of years, by carrying an anchor like Souray. Souray is good, but he's not easy to move and to me, that makes getting Vokoun harder.Maybe if Souray was also a UFA
The Caps are a playoff team. With Vokoun, they could win the cup. Roll the dice, play it safe till the deadline, work some trade assests into the line-up, and if needed, get Vokoun.
Souray may be good for 2.7, but let him be someone else's $2.7m problem. Hell Colorado hasn't even hit the cap floor yet, and they don't need Vokoun.

Voucher Guarantee
Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
GrabOne's Voucher Guarantee means missing out on claiming your deal in time no longer means losing out altogether!
How does it work?
- A voucher is valid up to and including the expiry date stated.
- If you don't use your voucher before that date for whatever reason, it can still be used towards that service with that business for an additional 30 days.
For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still use the amount you paid for the voucher towards a bungy jump, for another 30 days.
A few things to note:
- The GrabOne Voucher Guarantee does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- It's always best to use your voucher before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your vouchers are about to expire.
- During the extended Voucher Guarantee period, your voucher can only be put towards the service stated on the voucher.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the Voucher Guarantee can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- The conditions on your voucher still apply during the Voucher Guarantee period.

There is only one judge for all of us and our actions. We can share opinions and advise. I do know your hurt, betrayal not knowing exactly what went down. Time heals that pain. We are All Sinners and are forgiven for all our sins. Keep loving Hank girl and go with what your heart is telling you not what PEOPLE are telling you because WE ARE ALL GUILTY OF SIN.. I'm sad for you only because cheating sucks but you can't erase the past ,you can leave it behind! Love you sister, this is in God's hands not the media's. PEACE

From watching the show for sometime now; hank is a loving husband and father. But he is also human, and as humans we make mistakes. I think he did cheat, but regrets it. If he didn't he would of been pissed off such lies are being told of him and would speak publicly on it. But he is quite, sulking, and crying. He should tell Kendra the truth, keep it between themselves, she should decide if she can forgive him, and if so move on.
Posted at 3:54 AM on October 19, 2014
Hank and Kendra. If two people love each other, then with time there is forgiveness. Both are hurting, One is in denial and one is looking for answers. Kendra stop asking, you know the truth. Hank man up. There's temptation everywhere. So what if the other person is a transexual, gay or straight. Cheating is cheating! You need to give yourself time to heal. Both of you! Men get horny and some women when pregnant can get pretty ugly with those hormones bouncing every which way. I know plenty of couples who have gone through this exact same drama. Me included! Everyone has a right to their opinion, but it's their opinion, You have a choice to agree or disagree. Nobody is perfect, you both have a past, there are no guarantees in life! Your destiny is your destiny. The worst thing to do is fight in front of yr children. Stop the verbal abuse and name calling. Hank will always be the father of Kendra's beautiful children. These kids didn't sign up for this. They need to be loved by both parents! I hope and pray they can work this out with no regrets!………(my opinion)

I believe that animals have feelings and can talk too, just like the ones in Charlotte's Web. This is a picture of my cat, Comet. She was an abandoned kitten I saved from off the streets eight years ago on a cold Christmas morning. Of course, you can tell that she's living it out nicely now, and as my friends like to tell me often, she's very well fed. She used to be a very athletic and agile kitten, running around and pouncing after anything that moved the slightest bit. Now . . . well, you can see. What do you think she's trying to say with that expression?

Keeping it Local When it Comes to Management of Natural Resources
Cross-posted from the Missoulian.com article, with guest columnist, Tom Vilsack.
This past April, President Barack Obama launched the America's Great Outdoors conservation initiative in an effort to confront the serious challenges our natural resources face today. This initiative recognizes that while we've made significant progress in protecting natural resources in America, we still face significant challenges. Our public and private working lands face threats from fragmentation and development. I'm particularly concerned about the loss of prime agricultural and forests lands that provide a wealth of benefits to Americans including clean water, wildlife habitat, food and fiber, and others. Through America's Great Outdoors, the President has tasked us with developing conservation agenda worthy of the 21st century and to reconnect Americans with our great outdoors.
In an attempt to address these issues, Obama has instructed the U.S. Department of Agriculture and our federal partners to host a series of listening sessions to learn about what's working and what's not in land conservation, in getting Americans outside, and to learn how the federal government can be a better partner in these efforts. Our first listening session was held in early June in Ovando.
There, I joined Sens. Max Baucus and Jon Tester, Gov. Brian Schweitzer, as well as Director of the National Park Service John Jarvis and Chairwoman of the White House Council for Environmental Quality Nancy Sutley for an event on Jim Stone's ranch. We were not there to give speeches, but to listen to a thoughtful conversation with Montanans about the work they are doing to preserve their natural treasures.
We learned about the innovative partnerships along the Blackfoot River Corridor, the Rocky Mountain Front, and in the Seeley-Swan Valley where ranchers, conservation groups, outfitters, forest industry, and others are working to conserve Montana's natural resources and preserve its environmental heritage. In Montana, every rancher, landowner and farmer we met with emphasized the importance of getting federal employees involved at the ground level, stressing that decisions that are made with local input will lead to the most promising solutions. We also learned about the importance of voluntary incentive programs and a number of other ideas that could help Montanans protect their natural heritage and strengthen the connection between Americans and the great outdoors.
Following the forum in Ovando, the America's Great Outdoors' initiative held three other listening sessions in Bozeman, Helena and Missoula, giving over 500 Montanans the opportunity to share their ideas. Men and women across the state suggested successful conservation strategies, ways to engage youth in the outdoors, and discussed the appropriate role for the federal government in fostering community-led conservation efforts.
On my visit to Montana, I was reminded why we cannot wait any longer to get Americans back outdoors. Too many Americans have lost touch with their outdoor heritage that is present everywhere in Big Sky country. Too many Americans have never enjoyed the fishing, hunting, hiking or camping that are not only to America's rural heritage, but also have a major economic impact on small communities. Outdoor recreation is worth $730 billion to the American economy each year. And the truth is that these activities not only yield a strong economic impact, they also promote good physical health. And I would remind folks that there's no better time than June, Great Outdoors Month, to get involved in this project and reconnect with our country's plentiful outdoors.
Over the next few months, representatives from the Obama administration will continue what began in Montana with listening sessions across the country to craft a national conservation plan. Other states will have their opportunity to let Washington know what great work is being done on the local level, and how we can partner in our efforts to reach conservation plans that best serve your communities – but also the nation.
If you weren't able to attend an America's Great Outdoors listening session, we still want to hear from you. You can visit www.doi.gov/AmericasGreatOutdoors to share your ideas and learn more about our path to America's Great Outdoors.
With input from this initiative, USDA will continue to work every day to conserve the nation's natural heritage. I know that with participation from local leaders like the ones I met in Ovando, we will be successful in preserving our nation's treasures while still taking advantage of their potential for economic development, so that we hand them over to the next generation better than we found them.
Tom Vilsack is the U.S. Secretary of Agriculture.

BLM celebrates National Public Lands Day with event to get people outdoors (09-24-13)
GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. — Volunteers together with the Bureau of Land Management plan to mark the 2013 National Public Lands Day by cleaning trash and debris from a popular target shooting range on Sept. 28.
The target shooting range at the end of 27 1/4 Road recently underwent extensive repairs and renovations. The BLM plans to orient visitors to the changes while removing debris and trash so visitors can enjoy a positive experience while using the shooting range.
The shooting range will be closed during the cleanup to ensure safety of volunteers.
""This cleanup project is just another example of the many things our volunteers do," said Fran Parker, volunteer and partnership coordinator for the BLM and Volunteers for Outdoor Colorado. "Their involvement, both on National Public Lands Day and throughout the year, demonstrates how much they appreciate recreational opportunities on public lands."
According to Parker, volunteer labor, valued at more than $300,000 in 2012, is critical to the BLM's role managing BLM public lands.
For more information contact Volunteer and Partnership Coordinator, Fran Parker at (970) 244-3031.
The BLM manages more than 245 million acres of public land, the most of any Federal agency. This land, known as the National System of Public Lands, is primarily located in 12 Western states, including Alaska. The BLM also administers 700 million acres of sub-surface mineral estate throughout the nation. The BLM's mission is to sustain the health, diversity, and productivity of Americas public lands for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations. In Fiscal Year 2015, the BLM generated $4.1 billion in receipts from activities occurring on public lands.

Rethinking Regulation of Credit Rating Agencies: An Institutional Investor Perspective
Frank Partnoy
University of San Diego School of Law
July 6, 2009
Council of Institutional Investors, April 2009
San Diego Legal Studies Paper No. 09-014
This white paper was commissioned by the Council of Institutional Investors for the purpose of educating its members, policymakers, and the general public about important credit rating agency regulation proposals and their potential impact on investors. It offers an institutional investor perspective of the pros and cons of several proposals for redesigning credit rating agency regulation. It focuses on two areas of primary importance - oversight and accountability - and offers specific recommendations in both areas.
First, Congress should create a new Credit Rating Agency Oversight Board (CRAOB) with the power to regulate rating agency practices, including disclosure, conflicts of interest, and rating methodologies, as well as the ability to coordinate the reduction of reliance on ratings. Alternatively, Congress could enhance the authority of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to grant it similar power to oversee the rating business. Second, Congress should eliminate the effective exemption of rating agencies from liability and make rating agencies more accountable by treating them the same as banks, accountants, and lawyers.
As financial gatekeepers with little incentive to "get it right," credit rating agencies pose a systemic risk. Creating a rating agency oversight board and strengthening the accountability of rating agencies is thus consistent with the broader push by U.S. policymakers for greater systemic risk oversight. Over the long term, other measures for assessing credit risk may become more acceptable and accessible to regulators and investors. Meanwhile, a more powerful overseer and broader accountability would help reposition credit rating agencies as true information intermediaries.

3 Injured in One Car Crash in Richland
Three people were injured, one seriously, in a crash yesterday afternoon in Richland.
According to the Washington State Patrol, 50 year old Diana Vargas of West Richland was Eastbound on I-82, when her SUV went into the median and rolled.
Vargas had to be airlifted to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle. Her two juvenile passengers were injured and taken to Kadlec.
The WSP says drugs or alcohol were not involved and the cause is under investigation.

Though the bears may be asleep, there is still plenty of wildlife activity in the park in the winter. Around the Jasper townsite area, elk, mule deer and coyote are common. The Maligne Lake Road is a good place to look for moose, mountain sheep and caribou. Wolves are sometimes seen near Pyramid and Patricia Lakes and along the Icefields Parkway. Herds of elk can be seen along Highway 16 East. Remember, though, these are wild animals. If you should see them, keep your distance for your own safety and do not feed them for your sake and theirs. Winter can be an especially difficult time for animals. Your respect for their need to feed and rest undisturbed will help them survive. Though they seldom show themselves to humans, snowshoe hares, martens, weasels, lynx, foxes, cougars and wolverines are also active in the park in winter. If you don't actually see these animals you are certain to see signs of their presence. The winter snow is a page on which the comings and goings of the park's inhabitants are recorded for anyone who wants to take the time to interpret the tracks left behind.

The view through the big back windows of ferries and water taxis maneuvering alongside the Maine State Pier keeps me entertained for hours.
Our last visit began with drinks and salad. There are so many tasty, local options on Flatbread's comprehensive drink menu it can be hard to choose. I went with maple-sweetened lemonade. Mixed on-site in small batches, it's richer and less cloying than lemonade made with sugar. My other favorites are Atlantic Brewing Company's Coal Porter (the best porter I've had), and Maine Root rootbeer, a not-too-sweet natural soda invented by one of Flatbread's servers and now distributed throughout the eastern US.
Flatbread's salad, a simple mix of quality ingredients, is always my favorite part of the meal. The delicate lettuce and thinly shredded carrots are topped with earthy seaweed and sesame seeds, then drizzled with a sweet berry vinaigrette so bewitching, I'm guessing the secret ingredient is opium.
After our salad fix, we ordered a large vegan flatbread, which comes with a thin layer of tangy roasted tomato sauce, kalamata olives, caramelized onions, and some kind of fancy mushrooms. The middle of the pie was just short of crunchy, the edges puffy and chewy, and the bottom of the crust coated with that lovely wood-fired charcoal.
A good portion of the flatbreads are vegetarian, and there's always a veggie special. The coevolution, with rosemary, red onion, and kalamata olives is my favorite, though it's just not the same without the salty goat cheese. You can order any of their flatbreads without cheese, but rather than eat pizza that's missing something, I'd like to see them develop a second vegan option with different flavors. Maybe spinach pesto, artichokes, or roasted squash?
Despite their emphasis on local, earth-friendly ingredients and social consciousness (they donate a portion of their proceeds to local charities), Flatbread lacks a vegan dessert. Because the rest of the menu is so creative, I'm looking for more than fruit sorbet. What about a vegan version of their decadent brownie sundae, or chocolate tofu cheesecake with whipped coconut cream? Any restaurant with punk rockers and crunchy dreadlocked types waiting tables ought to serve tofu cheesecake; it's probably a condition of their license.
On the chickpea scale of vegan-friendliness, I'm giving Flatbread Company two and a half chickpeas (you can't tell I altered that photo, can you?). It's an excellent restaurant, and I eat there whenever I get a chance, but if I lived in Portland I'd get tired of the limited vegan choices. Because they advertise as earth and community-friendly, I'm holding them to a higher standard than I would your typical pizza joint. When they get on board and start developing new vegan recipes, I'll happily volunteer as a taste-tester.
Flatbread is deservedly popular, and has been reviewed by many food bloggers before me. Here are a few reviews by Mainers:
