I didn't like the artificial flavor in the product. Also didn't care for the type of sweetener used. I ended up ordering the same type of product from another company that is completely unsweetened and unflavored. I just put a little water and lemon juice in a small jar along with the powder and shake it up. this works for me. Lemon juice in the MRM brand helps to hide the artificial flavor and balance the extremely sweet flavor as well.
Best cost/benefit

Very high in bcaa/dose, low cost, lasts a long time. Only down side is the flavor that´s not so good, but I put some malto dexitrin and use intra workout then it tastes ok.
Taste is a little bitter
Posted by Reviewer2021251 on May 06, 2015
Me and my husband use it after training. The product is very good itself, but along with lemonade flavor we can feel some bitterness too. But anyway after 2-3 time you are getting used to this flavor and it's not that bad. Good service from Iherb and fast delivery to Kazakhstan. I'm giving 4 stars only for bitterness.
The taste!!!!!!

This stuff is excellent - great BCAAs I reccomend following the elite athlete usage even if you're out of shape.. Or working towards a fitness goal Have it on empty stomach prior to workout, during and after Some people say it doesn't mix well.. That's not correct Simply place 3 scoops in shaker with water and give a few shakes.. Then leave it alone for 3-5 mins before shaking vigorously. The BCAAs will dissolve into the water leaving you a lovely thin water consistency type fuel GET ON THIS STUFF IT'S GOLD!!
Posted by Reviewer1507669 on Jul 13, 2012
Cost/benefit without equal! 1kg of pure BCAA + glutamine!
taste not so good but ok it look like gyn
Posted by 5391767402895006658 on Nov 05, 2014
just 4 star because of the taste Just add a little citrus juice and u will not feel it. Of course it's bcaa dont expect it will be like CANDY and it's not because it taste like candy that the bcaa are good. And of course u got 5 gr of bcaa and 1g gluta + 2mg b6 for 3 scoop ( 6g ) You cant find better price than that with this amout of BCAa Per scoop HAVE FUN

Connect with 20/20:
Intravitreous triamcinolone acetonide (IVTA) has become an increasingly popular method to treat macular disease amongst vitreoretinal surgeons. While data from randomized controlled clinical trials are lacking, IVTA has quickly found widespread application for a variety of posterior segment pathologies based on encouraging clinical case series. In this article, we'll review the various complications that have been reported, along with their treatment and outcomes.
BackgroundIVTA has been used as monotherapy to treat macular edema of various etiologies including: pseudophakic cystoid macular edema (Irvine-Gass syndrome); macular edema from central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO); branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO); diabetic macular edema (DME); retinitis pigmentosa; uveitis; and idiopathic cystoid macular edema. In the management of neovascular age-related macular degeneration, IVTA has been applied as monotherapy for occult lesions and as combined therapy with verteporfin photodynamic therapy for all types of choroidal neovascular membranes. Additionally, IVTA has been used as a surgical adjunct for perioperative control of ocular inflammation and intraoperative identification of vitreoretinal tissue planes (posterior hyaloid and epiretinal membranes).

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.

Non Perishable Parade Candy
Item #: 1404
Tropical Smarties Candy Roll Wafers - 5 lb.$22.03
Non Perishable Candies are ideal if you are looking for products to enjoy in areas with Hot Weather, or if you are using them for parades or corporate promotions and don't want to have to worry about your candies melting.
Gummi candy and chocolate will melt when exposed to high temperatures. That's why we decided to create a section of our more "durable" bulk candies that are economical to purchase -- they are sold in bulk after all -- and can be enjoyed year round in almost any climate. Please bear in mind that any candy can be damaged when exposed to extremes of temperature, but certain products such as Candy Roll Wafers (Smarties) and Tootsie Pops tend to hold up better.
Summer Candy
Nothing beats the long, lazy days of summer or, for that matter, living in a warm, sunny climate. But adding delicious candy can make anything better. We hope this section of non-perishable candies will make it easier to enjoy tropical climes and candies together.
Please note that this list only covers candy that we offer in bulk, which makes up only a small portion of the over 3000 candies available. For those of you who still crave chocolate or more perishable items, we are always willing to help you find the most economical ways to ship your candy safely.

Established in 1915, Timber Creek is not the 'run of the mill' golf course. With gentle rolling fairways, it was designed to give the golfer ample room off the tee while giving the player a challenge of a lie that may be slightly uphill or downhill. The closer you get to our bent grass greens, you will find sand traps placed by the architect in places that add to the overall character of the course. With new sand, you will find it as accommodating as one could. Our greens at Timber Creek were designed for game improvement and the scratch golfer alike.
The original nine holes date back to 1913, offering beautiful views of the Rock River. The design is a 2700 yard, par 34 with lots of trees and small greens. The back nine, built in the late 60's, is a 3200 yard track par 36, with large greens and sand traps. Adding to the challenge is the Holland creek running through it, coming into play on seven of the nine holes.
CITY:Rock Falls
Shady Oaks Country Club offers a unique and challenging 18-hole layout where accuracy off the tee and accurate approach shots are rewarded. At 6,212 yards from the tips, Shady Oaks doesn't "appear" to be difficult, but don't let the yardage fool you. The tight tree lined fairways and small sloped greens can take a toll on even the most patient golfers and make scoring very difficult. Shady Oaks is open to the public and has 4 sets of tees for varying skill levels. There is a pro shop and bar serving sandwiches, snacks and beverages.
The Barn on the Hill is an old dairy barn with the collection of original sliding doors that allow natural light to pour in. The Barn on the Hill radiates simple elegance. The thousands of white lights strung from the beams give our welcoming space a warm comfortable feel for up to 250 guests. Set on 7.5 acres - plenty of space to make it your own for the event you envision, whether it be a birthday, graduation, anniversary, shower, reunion, corporate retreat, rehearsal, or wedding. We are a rural private venue located 20 miles southwest of Rockford, Illinois. We are located midway between Leaf River, IL and Byron, IL on Route 72.

Nestled in the Rock River Valley, just 3 miles south of the town of Oregon, lies a 2,291-acre wooded area that is one of Ogle County's most beautiful and historic sites. Its scenic qualities come from 120-foot bluffs along 3.5 miles of riverfront forested with hardwood and pine trees. The history stems from the individual who, in the early part of the 20th century, augmented the natural hardwood forest by planting pines. Frank O. Lowden (1861-1943), Illinois' governor from 1917-1921, ardently embraced proper land use and strongly believed in reforestation as a way to retard soil erosion. Over several decades, an estimated 500,000 trees were seeded directly by him or under his supervision.
This miniature horse farm is located in Whiteside County.
CITY:Rock Falls
Eagle Point Horseback Riding Farm & Eagle Point Paintball Games
Horseback riding for young and old. Trails follow Elkhorn Creek. Great for the more experienced rider. Paintball field is on island off Elkhorn Creek.
One of the most picturesque sites along the Rock River is just north of Oregon in Ogle County. The bluffs are graced with a majestic image of an American Indian gazing over the Rock River Valley. This is no ordinary statue. It is a 50 foot, concrete-reinforced wonder that is awe-inspiring. A tribute to all Native Americans, but more commonly associated with Chief Black Hawk, the statue was designed by sculptor Lorado Taft. You can enjoy many wonderful views of the Rock River from the park, but the best view of the statue is from IL Rt. 2.
Castle Rock State Park is located three miles south of Oregon on Highway 2. The 2,000-acre park includes rock formations, ravines, and unique northern plant associations. In one valley, 27 different types of ferns have been identified. A sandstone bluff, adjacent to the river, has given the park its name. Picnic area amenities include tables, shelters, grills, toilets, drinking water and playground equipment. Six miles of marked hiking trails have been developed, and a public boat ramp/parking facility is located across from the park's main entrance.
Black Hawk Statue at Lowden State Park
At Eagle's Nest Bluff in Lowden State Park, proudly stands a 48-foot statue of a Native American quietly revering the beauty of the River Rock Valley below. Commonly called Black Hawk, after the legendary Chieftain, the statue was created as a tribute to all the Native Americans who once called the area their home.

How to use ENHWI-N3 / ENHWI-N34D / ENHWI-2AN3 / ENHWI-2AN34D / ENHWI-3GN3 as a Repeater?
The reason why people use a Encore wireless repeater is because some wireless remote client computers are out of range from the main network's access point (wireless router), or the wireless client is in the dead spot or the device you want to share to the network have no wireless interface card.
The function of a wireless repeater is basically to extend the wireless signal coverage. Wireless repeater does not authenticate, screen, secure, connect to the internet, give IP address to clients, broadcast names, etc., these are the wireless router's job. Repeater only repeats what the main wireless router does to the wireless clients.
- You should know the wireless security type of the existing wireless AP/router, is it a WPA, WPA2 or a WEP?
- The wireless security key, or password or passphrase of the existing wireless router
- Your existing wireless router's SSID
- We recommend that the existing network you are about to add the Repeater on have a DHCP server running and able to lease IP address to all network clients. If you are not sure about this, please ask your ISP or the person who installed your network.
Hardware Checklist:
- Computer with wireless device turned off. This is only to set up the repeater, once finished the wireless can be turned on again.
- The computer must have an available RJ-45 network interface card and web browser installed.
- A working wireless router or Access Point with one available RJ45 port
- RJ-45 UTP/TP Ethernet LAN Cable
- The Encore Router is set to factory default. If your Encore Router is brand new and just pulled out of the box, no need to reset. If changes were made to any settings to the Encore Router before, make sure you "hardware reset" the Encore Router to the factory default settings. Check the User's Manual on how to "hardware reset" the router.
1. Hooking up hardware connections:
- Both PC or Laptop and the Encore Router should be turned-on.
- Disable the wireless client from your PC or laptop computer (if not done so)
- Connect the Ethernet cable to the PC or laptop computer and the Encore Router. (This can be done while PC computer and router are turned on.)
2. Switching mode from AP Mode to Repeater Mode
- Using your computer's web browser such as Internet Explorer or Safari Firefox, enter 192.168.0.1 to the address field then hit enter. You should see the Encore Router's User Interface screen still in the AP Router Mode
- On the upper right corner of the user interface menu, click on the drop down menu and select "Repeater Mode". Click the "OK" button to the warning box. Wait around 35 seconds until your screen comes back to Encore user interface screen, this time the screen is now in the Repeater Mode. If for some reason you were asked by the repeater to enter the username and password, enter the default username and password (admin/admin) and your Encore Router is now in Repeater Mode.
As of this moment your repeater is not connected to any router or network. It has to be configured further to be able to be connected to your current network and access point router.
3. Connecting your Repeater to your existing network access point or router:
- As soon as the Encore Router switched to the Repeater Mode, you should be able to see the same Utility Screen with fewer selections on the left pane.
- From the Main Menu screen click on "Wireless" located on the left pane.
- Click on "Site Survey" button, a new Window dialogue box will pop up showing a list of Access Points reachable by your Repeater
- Check your existing network's access point SSID then click on the radio button that corresponds to your access point router then click "Connect" button.(If you can't find your existing AP router, click on "Refresh" repeatedly until your access point show up, or your location is too far from your existing AP router).
- Click on the "Encryption" drop down menu, select your existing access point wireless security, enter your existing router's wireless security key or passphrase then click "Apply". If you get a FAILED message, repeat this procedure again, a wireless hiccup might be interfering, otherwise you now have a working Repeater.
- Check your repeater connection by going to your internet browser and open a web page of your choice. If successful your new wireless repeater is working.
- Disconnect the Ethernet cable and setup your computer back to its original wireless settings. At this stage, the Repeater is now invisible to any wireless client computers. When connecting a new wireless client within the repeater's wireless range the process is the same as there is no Repeater device at all, the SSID of the wireless router will just be extended in range around where the Repeater is physically located.
4. Connect your remote wireless client to your wireless router
- Using your wireless client utility program, look for your existing router's SSID and connects to it, if this is a new client you will be prompted with the wireless security key. Your repeater is invisible to all wireless clients. All it does is to repeat the wireless router signal as it is to extend its range. Once you have converted the Encore Router to Repeater and successfully connected to your existing router there will be no more configuration needed to the repeater. If you happen to see two identical SSID's of your existing router, this means your wireless client is within the same range of your existing router and the new wireless repeater, then your client don't need the repeater's service.
If you are using Windows 7 and your existing access point security wireless is set to WPA2 (AES), make sure your Windows 7 wireless security type properties is set to WPA2-Personal. To check go to Windows 7 Wireless Network Connection, look for your REPEATER router, right-click on it then click Properties, check the settings in the "Security" tab.>
When checking the wireless site survey, you may see two routers with the same SSID (names), these are your Access Point and the REPEATER tied together. This also means you are within the reachable range of both Access point and REPEATER.
5. To check the Repeaters user interface
At this moment, the Repeater is invisible to any client. The client's IP address is drawn from the DHCP server most likely to be also your wireless router. Therefore the IP address of the repeater is also invisible to the clients. Follow steps below:
- Disable wireless connection or turn off wireless in the client PC computer
- Connect Ethernet network cable to the RJ-45 port of the client PC computer
- Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to one of the LAN ports of the repeater.
- From your computer, set the network card IP address to Static IP Address entering 192.168.0.102, Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0, leave the rest as blank.
- Open IE or Internet explorer or any other web browser software and run 192.168.0.1, you should be able to see the Encore Repeater user interface screen. (Changing any settings in the repeater may affect its performance)
Modo Access Point
How to use my ENHWI-N34D or ENHWI-2AN34D as an Access Point?
Please follow the step-by-step instructions below:
1. Connect the Ethernet cable to the ENHWI-N34D/ENHWI-2AN34D router and your main router with Internet connection and DHCP Server.
2. Login to the ENHWI-N34D/ENHWI-2AN34D web based Graphical User Interface.
3. Make sure you are In the "AP Router Mode", click "System" on the left-hand side menu, and then click the "LAN".
4. Set Static LAN IP in the same range as the main router.
For example, your main router IP is 192.168.10.1, then set the Access Point IP to 192.168.10.2.
5. Disable "DHCP", then click "Apply" button.
6. Wait a few seconds until the changes have been saved.
7. Click "Advanced" on the lefthand side menu, and then click the "NAT" tab. Disable "NAT", then click "Apply" button.

Terms and Concepts in Sexual Assault continued...
Intercourse between consenting minors
Intercourse between consenting minors, which is very common and widespread, is against the law. In practice, these laws are selectively enforced at the discretion of law enforcement and prosecutors. Enforcement can vary depending on factors such as the age difference between the minors involved. Most sexual activity between minors is not reported and is consensual. When accusations about sexual acts surface, generally related to consent versus nonconsent issues, this law is used to press charges for the act of intercourse itself in addition to any other charges that may result from other specific sexual acts.
Sexual assault of men
Men can be sexually assaulted. Sexual assaults of men can take on conventional characteristics of force and coercion and can be perpetrated by both men and women. Although the overall incidence of occurrence and reporting is considerably lower, men who have been sexually assaulted (most commonly anal intercourse by other men) should be, and generally are, treated equally under the law.
The male response to the sexual advances of women and sexual assault
Another circumstance that men should be aware of is using good judgment in how they respond to the sexual advances of women. In general, men have a lower threshold than women do to engaging in sexual activity if it is offered to them. This well-known lack of restraint by a man can be used by a woman who is acting recklessly or with bad intentions to engage with men in sex.
Women who are seeking sexual interactions may be doing so for reasons other than a genuine interest in the man. They may be intoxicated and acting rashly or they may desire sex in general. Many cases have been reported where women have had a specific intention to have sex with a particular man for the wrong reasons and with bad intentions. Women in any of these situations can engage in seductive behaviors that men find hard to resist, especially if they are intoxicated.
Afterwards, the women's specific intention, guilt, or remorse can lead to an accusation of sexual assault when no assault occurred at the time the encounter took place. If the woman characterizes this situation as a sexual assault, the man is almost always charged with sexual assault, even though the actual interaction may have been initiated and controlled by the women. Many men who would never engage in sexual assault can be drawn into situations such as these quite easily.

Smartphone users will be able to "let their fingers do the walking" at this year's NJEA Convention with an application designed to run on iPhones, Android-based phones, and Blackberrys. There's also a web-based version of the application for all other web browser-enabled phones.
For iPhone, iPad and Android users – visit the iTunes App Store or Google Play Market on your device to search for "NJEA 2013"
All web-enabled phones, including Blackberry and those listed above – point your mobile browser to: http://m.core-apps.com/njea2013. From there you will be directed to download the proper version of the app for your particular device, or on some phones, bookmark this page for future reference.
Once you've downloaded the app, you can browse workshop offerings, exhibitors on the convention floor, entertainment, meetings, and individual presenters. And you'll be able to design a schedule for your convention experience to keep you on track with a simple glance at your phone. Updates and alerts will be sent to users via the app. Additional features include a photo gallery, a local places directory, and a built in GPS to guide you around the Convention floor. Note: Session and speaker data will be updated occassionally as changes to the program occur.
Like most smartphone features, the best way to learn how to use the NJEA Convention app is to download it and play. But to get you started, suppose you wanted to explore and schedule a workshop available in the "Instructional Strategies/Best Practices" category presented on Friday.
Details about the workshop will appear on your screen including the description and location. If you decide you want to attend the workshop, tap the star in the upper-right-hand corner. You'll find that the program will now appear under "My Schedule" in the app.
When you arrive in Atlantic City, rather than trying to page through your Convention Program for that workshop, all you'll need to do is look at your phone and you'll know exactly where you need to go.
Change your mind? Just tap on the workshop in the schedule and tap the star again to de-select the workshop.
If you want to make sure not to miss the plenary sessions featuring Dr. Marcia L. Tate and Chris Lehmann, just find their names under "speakers" and tap them and star them.
Keep in mind that scheduling a workshop on your smartphone does not reserve your seat in the workshop. It is still a good idea to arrive early at any workshop.

By BRANDY HUNTINGTONStaff Writer
Cleveland Town recently placed a new skating rink in their city park for use by residents. The weather hasn't been cooperating though and the rink is not fully frozen yet, but the town hopes to use it in the near future.
The December Cleveland Town Council was held and Doug Adams was the first item of business. Adams was unable to attend the meeting and asked Mayor Jeff Horrocks to present his case. Mayor Horrocks explained that Adams was requesting a business permit. He is a handyman and he lives outside Cleveland limits but is still required to have a permit. Council approved the permit on the condition that no work would be done from his home as agreed upon previously.
Bryan Christensen came before the council to have a business permit approved. Christensen is currently from Price but is in the process of relocating to Cleveland, his hometown. He said he has been working with a partner but has decided to start his own business as a sole provider. Superior Security Services installs sound and security systems in jails, homes and offices. No work will be done through his home, it is a service oriented business. The permit was approved.
A building permit was next on the agenda. The new resident told of their situation. They have recently bought a home in Cleveland and are planning to refurbish the home. While the necessary adjustments are being made the family has moved a fifth wheel trailer onto the property. Mayor Horrocks responded by saying, my first recommendation is to have the county building inspector come out and inspect the home. We are all aware of the condition of the home, and it would save a lot of heartache in the end if an inspection was done to see if the home is even feasible and worth fixing. Because you don't want to spend all the time and money fixing it if it's going to be condemned in the end. The couple agreed and said they would get that done.
Second, the mayor continued, the fifth wheel you have been living in has to be in a trailer court. There is an ordinance in our town stating that temporary homes are not allowed to be on the same property as a permanent home. The resident said they had looked into moving to a trailer court but were not allowed because of their big dogs. The mayor said we understand your situation and can give you a short amount of time to figure something out. But that is all we can do. Councilman Greg Oliver said that it became a big disaster in the past by allowing mobile homes to be placed on the same property as homes. It has taken us a long time to get it all cleaned up and where we are today. The mayor sympathetically said we don't want to put a damper on your plans but we have to watch out for the entire community. He suggested that maybe an apartment would work for a short while. The resident responded by saying in all fairness, being a homeowner and then having to go rent is just something we don't want to do. We will have an inspector come and look at the home and then go from there. Mayor Horrocks welcomed them to the community.
The American Legion #73 representative came before the council. He said they are making their way around to all the cities to request the approval of a veteran symbol to be put on all the graves. This is being done nationally in order to identify all the veterans. This is also an eagle scout project. He said, "I think it is a duty to this county to have a permanent recognition of the men and women who served this country." Zachary and Dillon Walls showed the council the cross that has been made for the recognition. The representative said that it would be at no cost to them, that it is funded by the scouting program. The location of the cross will be in the corner of the cement that surrounds the grave. So there will not be a problem with having to mow around it and maintenance problems.
The council agreed that as long as it is mounted on the corner then it is a good idea. They wondered if the families have to be contacted and give their approval before it can be done. The representative said that it was not necessary because it is on the city's land and therefore it just needs to be approved by the council. He said I don't know what family wouldn't be honored to have a veteran symbol on their loved one's grave. Councilman Oliver said he wanted to commend them. He said it is important to honor the veterans and their families for serving.
A resident contacted Mayor Horrocks concerning a water line being put in. The resident has been trying for several years to have water run to his property north of Cleveland in order to water his livestock. The North-Emery Water District said they must have a letter from Cleveland stating their approval of the line. Cleveland approved the request.
Mayor Horrocks told of their concerns with a very tight budget. He said they had to make some tough decisions. The city council members hold a small life insurance policy through the city. One idea that Mayor Horrocks and Jamie Jensen had was to do away with the policies in order to save some money every month. The council members discussed the idea and all agreed that was OK. Mayor Horrocks said I would rather shave some of ours before taking others.
Next year's unfunded fireworks were a cause of concern. Council members discussed the expensive fireworks. Finding corporate sponsors was one of the ideas. They said that any donation would help. Also, selling hamburgers and hot dogs at the karaoke night was an idea. Discussions will be ongoing in future meetings.
Mayor Horrocks recommended that all the town employees receive a Christmas bonus. He said they work hard and deserve it, and we can find some money somewhere.
The next meeting will be held on Jan. 12 at 7 p.m.

New Kid on the Block
Jason Gregor
December 03 2008 10:00AM
The new kid will play with the Kids tonight. Rob Schremp will play on the left side with Sam Gagner and Andrew Cogliano, and this is clearly his best opportunity to showcase his offensive upside.
In his three previous NHL games, it's fair to say Schremp wasn't put in that situation. Playing between three and eight minutes a game on a fourth line wasn't the best opportunity for him, but tonight Schremp is excited about his shot.
"This is the best opportunity so far for me to come up and show what I can. I'm pumped about it, and hopefully with those two guys we can generate something. It should be a bit more natural with Sammy and Andrew, being on the same wavelength. Thinking the same type of game makes it easier.
"We are known as skill guys who are going to make skilled plays. It is easier than playing with a guy who is worried about getting the puck deep first and crashing and banging. It is hard to read off a guy like that, when you don't think like that," continued Schremp.
Schremp is much more mature, and seems more prepared to make the most of this opportunity. He admitted that his conditioning is the best it's ever been, and that will allow him to be more effective in every area.
Sitting with a big dip in his mouth, Schremp and I talked about this being the right time for him. He was almost at ease.
"I can say it right now I don't feel nervous. I'm excited about the opportunity. I feel I've done all the right things up to now, and I just have to bring the things I was doing in Springfield up here, and hopefully that helps us win."
Schremp and MacTavish had a one-on-one chat at the end of the morning skate today, and according to the coach it was pretty basic.
"Just basic tactical things within our system and some simple objectives that we'd like to see him input into his game."
MacTavish's body language and how he spoke about Schremp sure gave the impression that he feels #88 is finally ready to contribute.
"I think he is ready for this opportunity. He looked good this morning and in the short time I saw, his skating looks better. He has put in a lot of work to get this opportunity, and he deserves this shot. He has definitely made progress and I'm looking forward to seeing him tonight.
"I want to give him a chance in a role where he can succeed. Ideally it would be when our team was playing better, but tonight he will be put in a position with some added responsibility and I think he is ready for it."
You can expect to see Schremp on the second PP unit as well tonight.
An old face returns
He was supposed to play Saturday in St. Louis, but the flu bug changed those plans. Tonight, however, fans will see Mathieu Garon get a start for the first time since Nov 6. Needless to say Garon is raring to go and feels he has lots to prove.
"My game is back to where I want it, and now I just have to prove it in a game," he stated in a very brief conversation.
The biggest concern for Garon will be rust. He looked incredibly shaky for the first ten minutes of relief against Detroit on Nov 20, but found his comfort zone as the game went on. Tonight he doesn't have the luxury of feeling himself into a game. He plans on taking some extra shots in the warm up to hopefully ensure he is comfortable from the opening draw.
—Listen to Gregor weekdays from 3 to 6 pm on the Team 1260 or online at www.justagame.ca.
Flu or not, isn't it sad that our team MVP from last season has to be worried about rust???
The line-up we will ice tonight is a close to CORRECT as it has been all season...too bad it took 24 games to get there.
We should still switch Cogs and Cole.
And we still need to get Brule up here on the 3rd line (Moreau can drop to the 4th). Reddox can go back down.
Then when Nilsson gets back - Pouliot hits the pressbox.
After that, when Big Mac draws in - Stortini gets the boot.
Hey Gregor,
Do you feel that some of our young players feel unappreciated and under valued by the Oilers' organization when Sam Gagner has been terrible this season but has never been benched or had his ice time significantly reduced? For example Robert Nilsson earlier this year played a couple of bad games and was immiediatly demoted to the fourth line and then the press box. (I am not talking about now as I know he is injured)
Does Nilsson seem frustrated that Gagner seems to get all of this room to make mistakes and the other young guys don't?
I just wanted to get your thoughts on this as you are closer to the team then I am even when I follow the players to their cars in -30 degree whether after they just lost another game to the Dallas Stars in hopes of getting my picture taken with Jason Strudwick or Marc Pouliot.
December 03 2008, 02:55PM
I am excited for Schremp. I hope he finds some positives in the game tonight and I hope those positives feature Gagner getting on the score sheet.
Can't wait, Garon rocks the crease!!!! And Schremp....well, I hope he lights it up.
I was just wanting to know what you thought of Robbie in practice. Mact sounded impressed. Anyways if you watched I would love to hear.
December 03 2008, 03:10PM
"Sitting with a big dip in his mouth"
That's how you get ready for a game Rob. With tobacco products.
What a nerd.
Brian Fellows:
You would be surprised how many hockey players chew. I bet its close to how many baseballs players do.
Maybe your the nerd?
December 03 2008, 03:29PM
I hope for Schremp's sake we go to a shootout tonight and he does one of these.
What a way to make a name for yourself in the bigs...
Pfft, the new kid, he is replacing Nilsson, picking up his sloppy seconds, whats that about?
Haha, just kidding, but realistically, I see Schremp fitting into the role nicely, that, with some PP time, and we'll see where he is at. It will be interesting to see if he's another AHL star that can't produce at the next level, or if he is the real deal and shows he has some stuff.
December 03 2008, 03:40PM
Nicotine improves metal alertness. Maybe the whole Oliers team should take a dip.
I mean who cares if they get the cancer in 15 years, their playing days are over....
December 03 2008, 04:06PM
Wasn't a big dip a candy thing...with a candy stick that you dipped into powdered candy flavouring? mmm...sugar.
thats fun dip. Delicious.
December 03 2008, 04:37PM
"We should still switch Cogs and Cole."
You sure about that one? Because I think you mean Gagner, not Cogliano. He's been absolute crap this year, and needs a game or two in the pressbox to wake up.
December 03 2008, 06:47PM
Nilsson has no resentment for Gagner, because he himself hasn't been great. Your point is a fair one, that at times it looks like Gagner gets special treatment, but based on a conversation I had with Nilsson and his body language he doesn't seem annoyed at all.
As for Schremp, to me he looks completely different than at other times when he was recalled. He is more fit, looks faster and feels that he has earned his shot. We spoke at length in the room, and he feels his overall game is the best it has been, and he is confident that if plays the same way here as he did in Springfield he should be fine.
It is hard in a morning skate to really evaluate a guy, but Schremp seemed comfortable this time around.

So many awesome battles but Naruto Vs Pain was epic!
My fave part of that one was when Naruto takes out God realm Pain and yells out to him "Why don't you give up on trying to stop me?". Or even the bit at the end when Pain revives all the people he killed since he invaded Konoha after Naruto decides against killing him to honor Jiraiya and what he taught Naruto. That part I found very moving.

Cape Town, Nairobi, Rome, Paris — A 'Blue Carbon' fund able to invest in the maintenance and rehabilitation of key marine ecosystems should be considered by governments keen to combat climate change.
The full report is available in various formats here.
A new Rapid Response Report released today estimates that carbon emissions--equal to half the annual emissions of the global transport sector--are being captured and stored by marine ecosystems such as mangroves, salt marshes and seagrasses.
A combination of reducing deforestation on land, allied to restoring the coverage and health of these marine ecosystems could deliver up to 25 per cent of the emissions reductions needed to avoid 'dangerous' climate change.
But the report, produced by three United Nations agencies and leading scientists and launched during National Marine Month in South Africa, warns that far from maintaining and enhancing these natural carbon sinks humanity is damaging and degrading them at an accelerating rate.
It estimates that up to seven per cent of these 'blue carbon sinks' are being lost annually or seven times the rate of loss of 50 years ago.
"If more action is not taken to sustain these vital ecosystems, most may be lost within two decades," says the report Blue Carbon: the Role of Healthy Oceans in Binding Carbon launched by the UN Environment Programe (UNEP), the Food and Agricultural Organisation and the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission of UNESCO.
Achim Steiner, UN Under-Secretary General and UNEP Executive Director, said: ". We already know that marine ecosystems are multi-trillion dollar assets linked to sectors such as tourism, coastal defense, fisheries and water purification services—now it is emerging that they are natural allies against climate change".
"Indeed this report estimates that halting losses and catalyzing the recovery of marine ecosystems might contribute to offsetting up to seven per cent of current fossil fuel emissions and at a fraction of the costs of technologies to capture and store carbon at power stations," he added.
The new report comes less than 60 days before the crucial UN climate change convention meeting in Copenhagen where governments need to Seal the Deal on a comprehensive new agreement.
It is likely that nations will agree to pay developing economies to maintain the 'green carbon' in forests under a partnership—Reduced Emissions from Deforestation and forest Degradation (REDD).
Mr Steiner added: "The links between deforestation and climate change are firmly on the political radar and there is optimism that REDD will form part of a new global climate partnership—but the role and the opportunity presented by other ecosystems are still overlooked".
"If the world is to decisively deal with climate change, every source of emissions and every option for reducing these should be scientifically evaluated and brought to the international community's attention—that should include all the colours of carbon including now blue carbon linked with the seas and oceans".
Dr Carlos Duarte, one of the chief scientists of the report based at the Mediterranean Institute of Advanced Studies in Spain, said:" We know that land use change is part of the climate change challenge. Perhaps less well known is that the global loss of what we could call our "Blue carbon sinks' such as mangroves and seagrasses are actually among the key components of the increase in greenhouse concentrations from all land use changes".
Christian Nellemann, Editor of the Rapid Response report, said." There is an urgency to act now to maintain and enhance these carbon sinks—since the 1940s, over 30 per cent of mangroves; close to 25 per cent of salt marshes and over 30 per cent of seagrass meadows have been lost. We are losing these crucial ecosystems much faster than rainforests and at the very time we need them – on current trends they may be all largely lost within a couple of decades".
"Fishing and aquaculture communities will be heavily impacted by climate change and have a key role to play in maintaining healthy ocean ecosystems in the face of change," said Ichiro Nomura, Assistant Director-General for Fisheries and Aquaculture at the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO).
"An ecosystem approach to the management of ocean and coastal ecosystems can not only enhance their natural carbon sink capacity, but also offers a way tosafeguard and strengthen food and livelihood security for fisheries-dependent communities," he added.
Officials with UNESCO also underlined the important role the oceans are already playing in offsetting climate change and its impacts on humanity, but warn that this is having consequences too.
"Because the ocean has already absorbed 82 percent of the total additional energy accumulated in the planet due to global warming, it is fair to say that the ocean has already spared us from dangerous climate change," says Patricio Bernal, Assistant Director-General of UNESCO, IOC Executive Secretary. "But each day we are essentially dumping 25 million tons of carbon into the ocean. As a consequence, the ocean is turning more acidic, posing a huge threat to organisms with calcareous structures."
Luciano Fonseca of UNESCO-IOC explains that the ocean's absorption of the planet's excess heat "is like a glass of whisky with ice. As long as the ice is there the whisky stays cool. The energy that is going into the glass, from your hand and room temperature, is working to convert the ice to liquid. As soon as the ice melts the whisky turns warm."
Key Findings from the Rapid Assessment Report
Currently, on average, between 2-7% of our blue carbon sinks are lost annually, a seven-fold increase compared to only half a century ago .
Countries with extensive, shallow coastal areas that could consider enhancing marine carbon sinks including India; many in south east Asia; those on the Black Sea; in West Africa, the Caribbean, the Mediterranean, the eastern United States and Russia.
Maintaining and Recovering Marine Ecosystems—the Wider Benefits
Coastal waters account for just 7% of the total area of the ocean. However the productivity of ecosystems such as coral reefs, and these blue carbon sinks mean that this small area forms the basis of the world's primary fishing grounds, supplying an estimated 50% of the world's fisheries.
They provide vital nutrition for close to 3 billion people, as well as 50% of animal protein and minerals to 400 million people of the least developed countries in the world.
The coastal zones, of which these blue carbon sinks are central for productivity, deliver a wide range of benefits to human society.
These include filtering water, reducing effects of coastal pollution, nutrient loading, sedimentation, protecting the coast from erosion and buffering the effects of extreme weather events.
Notes to Editors
The report "Blue Carbon – The role of healthy oceans in binding carbon" can be accessed at www.unep.org or at www.grida.no including high and low resolution graphics for free use in publications.
The report will be released at 10.30 am Oct. 14 at the DIVERSITAS biodiversity science conference, Cape Town Conference Center, South Africa ( www.diversitas-osc.org ).

Not Boring, Comfortable but already needs repair
"I loved these shoes! Super comfortable, can flex to fit a wider foot towards the end of the day but I am slightly disappointed that the left heel rubber part has already gone missing. Now I'm tapping awkwardly on tiled floors and have to have it replaced. I just bought these shoes less than a month ago so another $10-$20 to replace the heel is frustrating. It's not like I'm running marathons....just every day 9-5 work at a desk and I drive to get to work. But I am going to because they are great shoes :)"

I pray that God will continue to bless me creativley and I will be able to sale some of my art work. I have turned the matter over to God about making up with a former friend, so you do not have to pray on this matter anymore.

Just in time for Spring
"Perfect for spring, these brightly colored shoes fit like a glove and are comfy enough to wear without socks. Great value for the price."

Comfy, but
"I really liked this shoe. It fit well and was cute, but it was high on the back of my heel, and something was rough back there. I knew it would rub on my heel if I kept it. I have another pair of Sanuks that I love, so I was expecting the same of this one. Sadly, I had to return it."

Uruguay's Nacional Celebrate Their History With A Special Edition Shirt by Aaron› 20 Sep 2013
Back in September 1903, Uruguayan football reached an important landmark - the national team's first ever away win, 3-2 against neighbours Argentina. From here, Uruguay would go on to bigger and better things, most notably two World Cup victories in the 1930s, and the game is seen as an important step in their football history.
For Club Nacional de Football, this game is also an important part of their history, as the Uruguay team that clinched the 3-2 win was entirely made up of players from their club. So, in many ways, the Montevideo club can claim the victory just as much as the national team!
To celebrate this momentous part in Uruguayan football history, the club have unveiled a special edition shirt that marks the 110th anniversary of that special game. Inspired by the shirts worn by Uruguay in that game, the special edition Nacional shirt features a white sash across the chest of the sky blue shirt. The club's crest is also accompanied by three trophies, which marks the three Intercontinental triumphs that Nacional have enjoyed throughout their history.
There's a lot of history in this shirt, lets hope it inspires the Nacional players representing the club today!
