so cute!
"I have wide feet and i don't like my toes too much. This pair is so perfect for my not so perfect feet. Very comfortable to walk in considering the heels are so high and I'm not used to wearing heels. Makes my feet look pretty, just enough toes peeping. It doesn't show my feet being so wide. The only slight problem I have is the elastic around my ankle, a bit tight. But, still manageable. So, if you have fat ankles I wouldn't suggest this shoe for you. Overall, it was a really good buy. Love the material, they don't get dirty fast even if I ordered the natural color. My toddler stepped on them a few times and didn't get stained on."

Rocky Mountain Power is committed to preventing serious injuries and fatalities that can result from accidental contact with electrical facilities. The company wants farmers and ranchers to be aware of these safety guidelines because the nature of their work brings them near electric utility equipment almost every day.
Electricity enables hundreds of jobs to be done quickly and easily in the business of farming and ranching. It lights and powers homes and shops, runs dairy equipment, pumps irrigation water; and helps move, condition and store crops. However, electricity also can be dangerous if proper safety precautions aren't taken. With farm activity increasing during the summer months, Rocky Mountain Power encourages safe and cautious behavior while working with equipment in farms, ranches, orchards or fields.
"It's critical to always maintain awareness of power lines when operating equipment and working in fields where power lines share space with crops, livestock, orchards, workers and equipment," said Mike Felice, Rocky Mountain Power safety director. "Careless actions around power lines and other electrical equipment can have disastrous consequences."
Rocky Mountain Power urges the following precautions to keep farmers, ranchers and others working around electricity safe.
*Look up. Always look up for overhead power lines before beginning any outdoor activity.
*Follow the 10-foot rule. Most overhead power lines are not insulated. Keep everything - yourself, the tools and materials you are handling and the equipment you are operating - at least 10 feet away from overhead power lines. Any contact with wires by branches, pipe or equipment can be fatal.
*Call before you dig. Call 811 to have your local underground utility locator service mark all utility lines for free before you dig.
*Never stack or store irrigation pipe, hay and hay bales, or other materials directly underneath or adjacent to power lines. Never stand an irrigation pipe on end near a power line.
*Always lower grain augers and other crop handling and tilling equipment before moving them anywhere near power lines. Have someone spot for you.
*Irrigate with care. Do not spray water on power lines, equipment or structures.
*Use caution when moving equipment near power poles. Beware of hooking guy wires (non-energized wires used to tether end-poles to the ground) when operating vehicles or moving tools and equipment.
Follow these guidelines if a power line falls onto the vehicle, combine or heavy equipment you are operating:
*If you can do so safely, drive the vehicle or equipment away from the line.
*Stay seated until professional rescue workers say it's safe to get off.
*Warn others to stay away. Anyone who touches the vehicle or equipment, or even the ground nearby, may be injured or killed.
*Have someone immediately call both 911 and Rocky Mountain Power at 1-888-221-7070.
*If fire or other immediate danger forces you to leave the vehicle or equipment, jump clear, keeping both feet together. Do not touch the ground and the vehicle/equipment at the same time. Shuffle away with small steps, keeping your feet together and on the ground, or hop away keeping both feet together.
*Call 911 if someone makes contact with electricity and needs medical attention. Never touch a person or object in contact with electricity, since you could also become part of the electrical current's path to the ground and be seriously injured or killed.
*If a line has fallen on the ground or on some other object or piece of equipment, always assume it's energized. Stay clear, keep others away and call 911 and Rocky Mountain Power at 1-888-221-7070.
For all other information, including safety assistance around power lines, call toll free at 888-221-7070.

Freaking epic, that last panel of team 7, gave me the goose bumps.
Minato being able to use bijuu mode, isn't that difficult to accept, after all it was him, that perform the original seals (on him and on Naruto), and on the death gods belly, even having no real body, Kurama's chakra was within him, so he may have struggle (probably less) like naruto did, to tame it.
But it isn't necessarily sure that he needed to tame it, he only sealed chakra, not the Kyuubi's personality, he would only need to use the chakra and not fight with Kurama, to tame it.
The response of Sakura being Naruto's girlfriend, isn't shocking (at least to me), remember that just like Jiraya, who was in love with Tsunade all his live, so is Naruto in love with Sakura with all his heart. A few chapters ago, we saw Hinata stepping forward and assuming her love for Naruto, and for that, it was assumed that they would be together, let's face it, even Naruto could tell that she liked him, even if it was only when Pain attacked konoha.
And it makes some sense, Naruto and Sakura, are the closest couple, to have such similarities, with Minato and Kushina.
I really liked, Madara's reaction to Harashirama's arrival, that lunatic/ecstasy face on him, it was like "finally, i can get serious and enjoy the most pleasurable thing in this world."
The only little thing that disappointed me, was the reaction of Minato revealing himself has Naruto's father, only a few should know it, at least Sakura, who was the one closest should have had another reaction, but in the middle of the confusion, the revelation could have been lost in the moment, i expect that the reaction will come in a few chapters when things calm down or after all of the shinobi see Minato in bijuu mode just like Naruto (the only thing that distinguish them, is Minato's arm's that have those "spring", other than that, like father like son.

Free Keith Ballard
Thomas Drance
March 04 2013 03:18PM
Keith Ballard is back in the doghouse following a strong start to the 2013 season.
Andy Marlin/Getty Images North America
For whatever reason, whether it's his relationship with headcoach Alain Vigneault or an inability to fit in with the Canucks' system, Keith Ballard's Vancouver Canucks tenure has been a blackhole. The fleet of foot defenseman with the marvelous hips was acquired prior to the 2010 NHL draft in exchange for Michael Grabner, Steve Bernier and the pick that became Quinton Howden. Since then Keith Ballard has gone from a steady tough-minutes top-four defenseman to a (probably) untradable asset and a likely buyout candidate. It has been a mind-boggling fall from grace, and a borderline inexplicable one.
While Keith Ballard has handled the situation in gamely fashion publicly, it's clear that his latest stint in the pressbox (coming as it did on the heels of a steady first sixteen or so games to start this season) has frustrated the Canucks defenseman. Talking to the folks from News1130, Ballard's agent Ben Hankinson revealed as much on Monday morning, and said that he'd be talking to the Canucks about the situation:
#Canucks defenseman Keith Ballard's agent Ben Hankinson says he will be calling the Canucks today regarding his client.— News1130 Sports (@News1130Sports) March 4, 2013
Let's get into it on the other side of the jump.
A couple of weeks ago the Vancouver media was singing Ballard's praises and calling him the "most consistent" of all of Vancouver's defenseman in the early going this season. While such high-falutin praise ignored the particular way Keith Ballard's matchups were being prescribed by Rick Bowness and the Canucks coaching staff, the boast that Vancouver's coaches were comfortable matching up their Keith Ballard, Chris Tanev third-pairing against any of the opposition's forward lines mostly held up under closer scrutiny.
Yes, in mid-February it looked like Keith Ballard had turned the corner and might manage to stay in the lineup and be a useful, regular player for the Canucks this season. But then the Canucks got lit up in Detroit, and the Phoenix Coyotes rolled into town.
Up until that fateful game last Tuesday, Ballard was playing sixteen or so minutes per game and performing pretty well against modest competition. In the latter half of that game, however, Ballard found himself stapled to the bench (where he's been all too often during his Canucks tenure). He hasn't been back in the lineup since. So what happened in that game?
By the underlying data, the decision to play the likes of Andrew Alberts and Cam Barker ahead of Keith Ballard is borderline irrational. In terms of the fancy-stats, Keith Ballard has been a relative juggernaut this season (though the second-tier competition he's faced is a major qualifier here). If we look at his defensive coverage in that game against Phoenix however, I think Ballard's return to Vigneault's infamous resort for canines begins to make some sense.
Let's look at Phoenix's first goal that game, scored by Kyle Chipchura who was allowed to walk out all alone in front of Cory Schneider. He had time to set up a three course picnic lunch before propelling the puck past the Canucks goaltender with a backhander that ended up in the attic (where Norman keeps grandma).
This is a shift where Tippet and Vigneault are both playing fourth-line versus fourth-line - so getting burned for a goal against is particularly inexcusable from a headcoach's perspective. Indeed, check out Alain Vigneault's face when the Sportsnet feed cuts to him following the goal - he looks positively ready to take a bench-minor!
To make matters worse for Ballard, he cleanly loses a puck battle behind the net to Paul Bisonette that directly sets up Chipchura's marker. But the real coverage error on this play isn't Ballard's, rather it's made by Andrew Alberts and Maxim Lapierre. Both players get caught up at the other side of the net as a result of a pick, which opens up an awful lot of space for Chipchura to cruise into.
Now arguably Ballard's lack of awaress in realizing how cleanly his partner and his centreman have been beat by Chipchura is a mistake, but it's not an unforgivable one. That said, his resultant lack of urgency in covering for Lapierre and Alberts in the slot can't have ingratiated him with Vancouver's coaching staff...
Occassional defensive errors happen. That's hockey and lot of this is just variance. After this goal Alain Vigneault blendered up his defensive pairings and Ballard took several shifts with his most regular partner in Chris Tanev, rather than Andrew Alberts over the subsequent fifteen or so minutes of game time. Then this happened:
Any way you slice it: that's really ugly. Maxim Lapierre's gap control (and lazy stick) isn't pretty on this play either, and I'm sure Cory Schneider wishes he could have that one back. Still, I'm not sure what Ballard saw on this play, but he makes a critical anticipatory error and follows David Moss behind his own net. In doing so he vacates the precise lane that Mikkel Boedkker waltzes into and he chased the least dangerous Coyotes player on the ice behind the net in doing so.
Following these two plays, Keith Ballard found himself on the bench for the balance of the contest against the Coyotes. For the Canucks' next game this past Friday night against the Los Angeles Kings, Ballard was in the pressbox. Asked why he scratched Ballard on Friday after the game, Vigneault simply said he played the six guys who he thought gave him the best chance to win. There was nothing about giving other guys a chance to see some burn, and nothing about maybe Alberts' size matching up better against the Kings' large forwards. Clearly Ballard wasn't good enough.
Then on Sunday, with Kevin Bieksa drawing back out of the lineup with a groin injury, the Canucks coaching staff gave Cam Barker the nod over Keith Ballard...
By the advanced stats, Ballard is quite clearly the superior option over Cam Barker and Andrew Alberts. It's not even really a question. His WOWY's look okay this season (though Ballard is a negative possession player when separated from Chris Tanev), and he was repeatedly killing it by the chance data as well.
But the way relationships work, sometimes there's a glass-shattered moment or a straw that breaks the camel's back. For a couple of seasons Alain Vigneault preferred to deploy Aaron Rome in "safe minutes" against the bottom-end of opponent's rosters. Rome didn't have Ballard's flash or speed, but he was more dependable in his own end of the rink. After a strong start to the campaign, I have to wonder if these shifts reminded Vigneault and Bowness about why they've been so reluctant to play Ballard during his time in Vancouver.
Two breakdowns in coverage do not make a season. Ballard is still Vancouver's sixth best blue-liner. It's odd and frustrating that Ballard appears to get so little rope from the Canucks coaching staff, I understand that. But I'd wager that three seasons worth of accumulated, unforced coverage errors have probably contributed to this situation as much as any vague personal issues between player and coach.
Sticktap to Wyatt Arndt for his help with this post.
They should give his agent permission to talk to any of the 29 other teams and see if he can find any type of deal at all even a 7th rounder and I'm sure the Canucks would gladly accept it.
that first goal was not ballards fault. yeah he got beat on the boards but the keystone kops routine by lapierre and alberts is an order of magnitude more responsible for the goal. and what was their punishment for that? lapierre got promoted to the 3rd line and alberts played the next 2 games while ballard was in the press box.
the second goal i'm not sure what ballard was going to do either, it was lapierre getting beat by his man again. if ballard stays in the slot and picks him up then he's leaving his man open for a back door pass around the net.
the whole keith ballard era in vancouver should be the basis for a greek tragedy. he gets blamed more than obama.
Your analysis of the two examples is on the same level as the coaching decision to bench Ballard if those two examples were the reasons.
I think you have picked a theme and tried to make these examples support it, rather than analyzing the examples with no theme in mind.
I can hardly wait for you to dissect the singular errors of Edler, Bieksa, Hamhuis, Garrison, Alberts, Barker, and even precious Tanev......come on man.....let's be fair.
March 04 2013, 05:41PM
Sorry, but I don't feel sorry for him.
His 3rd yr in Vancouver and he's never proven to be anything more than a bottom pairing d-man. And he's only proven to be that with a inexperienced 23 yr old by his side (Tanev). Without Tanev, he can't hold his own.
Everyone is crapping all over AV today, like it's somehow his fault Ballard forgot how to play hockey. He's not asked to play against the opponents top lines every night, not asked to log a lot of ice time, not asked to score goals. He's asked to play stable defensive hockey against the opponents 3rd and 4th lines. He hasn't done it. He eats a lot of cap space and can't do what a 23 yr old rookie can do. That pretty much says it all.
But clearly they can't move him cause no one else want that contract. He would have been gone a long time ago if he was moveable.
It's not AVs fault. He's asked to put a lineup out that gives them the best chance to win. And you have to earn it. He never has. Call your agent about that Ballard.
Your analysis of the two examples is on the same level as the coaching decision to bench Ballard if those two examples were the reasons.
I think you have picked a theme and tried to make these examples support it, rather than analyzing the examples with no theme in mind.
ummm, try providing a reason why you feel that way. At least Drance provided analysis, all you did was fling poo. Damn I hate that. By the general theme of your reply, I'm guessing you're a prominent member of the canucks.com forums.
I agree that these are examples of plays that have landed Ballard in the doghouse again. The only thing I will say, is the way the Canucks D have been playing, you could probably find similar meltdowns from just about every other D-man. That is not a knock on Drance's analysis, its a knock on the Canucks D, and Vigneault's decision to play Barker and Alberts over Ballard. I hope Barker finds his game, and gets back on track in the NHL, I really do, but playing him over Ballard is not just benching Ballard, its a downright slap in the face.
@Thomas Drance
I understood ya Drance. I even reposted a part of this in the crazy thread going on right now on CDC about Ballard's agent talking to Gillis. I've been arguing he isn't more deserving of top minutes than the other guys in the top 4 (top 5 if you include Tanev) but he's been good this year despite that. I'm not sure how the coaches could find him more time than they already have or get him specifically PP time at the expense of at least Hamhuis or Edler.
He'll be our cap casualty for next season, and I just hope we do get offered a deal that will improve us (as Gillis likes to say) rather than having to buy him out. He does deserve to stay in the NHL and get a chance somewhere else.
Judging by what was posted it makes no sense to play Alberts or Barker over Ballard. Sure he may have made the wrong read on the second play but worse has been done and overlooked (Lapierre was horrible on both plays). My theory is that AV likes to have a whipping boy to keep the other players in line. Unfortunately for KB, he is it. This is manifestly unfair to Ballard and it is probably stunting his career but hey at least he's getting 4.3 million a year to put up with AV's crap.
AV does not like Ballard because he is not Canadian. He likes Kessler for other reasons. The 'phoenix goal from low in the circle was the Schneider's fault, being from such a deep angle in the circle, any bantam level goalie should have stopped that one. Schneider just plan stunk on that one. If the Canucks want to score more often, they need to learn how to operate around the back door, which is almost always unmanned.
Edler isn't Canadian and neither was Erhoff or Salo. Just 2 seasons ago, half of the Canucks D-corps were Europeans
*Top-6 D, not D-corps since Tanev and Alberts aren't Euros. Alberts is an American as well.
Well, I applaud Wetcoaster for even attempting a response, but the notion that AV favours Canadian players (except for "Kessler") is an idea so asinine that it can only, appropriately enough, come from a schmuck. At least he's self-aware.
The NHL is clearly pro-Euro players. The NHL has been anti-American since its beginning. End of statement. End of Universe. To deny this is not only asinine, it is ignorance.
I didn't say AV was anti-European, I only said he did not like Ballard because he was not Canadian. Who gets on the team is not AV's call, but who gets on the ice is. Lots of people in hockey believe AV is not objective, and doesn't like Ballard either simply due to personality or because he is not Canadian. AV is French Canadian. To believe that there is no anti-American bias among the FC is downright absurd and blind to the world and how it truly is.
For getting the puck out of the zone, Ballard is the #1 D-man, same is true for stopping rushes before they enter the Canucks D zone. His gap control and lateral skating ability are so far superior to the other D men that he looks like the only D who is a professional. He appears to be the fastest skater on the ice, catching break-aways without the necessity of even getting to top speed. To sit the guy is without warrant or explanation.
Disagree with David Moss being the least dangerous player. Moss could have circled around the net and Boedkker could have dished the puck to him for a tap in at the side of the goal.
March 05 2013, 02:17PM
@Joe Schmuck
Uh, to the extent a Québécois would be biased against anyone "just because" (if Gatineau even counts... it's suburban Ottawa and Vigneault has a full-on Ontario hoser accent in English), it would be English Canadians, not Americans.
March 05 2013, 02:19PM
Anyhow, if there is a "straw that broke the camel's back" effect happening leading to Vigneault/Bowness icing an inferior lineup, then it *is* irrational, and does deserve to be criticized. You have to look at what each player brings in absolute terms, not in accordance with some frustr-o-meter based on personal preferences.
I understand that writing, especially sports writing, is challenging. I grant you that concession. However, I watched those two plays repeatedly and if Keith Ballard was to blame for those goals, then your idea of blame seems rather confounding.
"To make matters worse for Ballard, he cleanly loses a puck battle behind the net to Paul Bisonette that directly sets up Chipchura's marker." Really? Bisonette was already in the corner before Ballard getting a dump in play. Bisonette made a smart play by chipping past Ballard to a teammate.
"But the real coverage error on this play isn't Ballard's, rather it's made by Andrew Alberts and Maxim Lapierre. Both players get caught up at the other side of the net as a result of a pick, which opens up an awful lot of space for Chipchura to cruise into." Agreed, although ML blew it and not AA.
"Now arguably Ballard's lack of awaress (sic) in realizing how cleanly his partner and his centreman have been beat by Chipchura is a mistake, but it's not an unforgivable one. That said, his resultant lack of urgency in covering for Lapierre and Alberts in the slot can't have ingratiated him with Vancouver's coaching staff...". Was Ballard supposed to refrain from pinning his man on the boards? Skate behind the net and leave his man free to cut to the net? Skate in front of the net, while somewhat still maintaining control of his man, dive towards Chipchura and poke the puck off him while ML played pinball at the side of the net and AA didn't manhandle a smaller player?
Next goal:
"Any way you slice it: that's really ugly. Maxim Lapierre's gap control (and lazy stick) isn't pretty on this play either, and I'm sure Cory Schneider wishes he could have that one back. Still, I'm not sure what Ballard saw on this play, but he makes a critical anticipatory error and follows David Moss behind his own net (agreed, but he kept his man from going to the front of the net, which is 90% of the time far more dangerous). In doing so he vacates the precise lane that Mikkel Boedkker waltzes into and he chased the least dangerous Coyotes player on the ice behind the net in doing so (that as ML again blowing coverage).
Call it like it is: most coaches have favourites and scapegoats. The leash for Ballard and some others is short and long for some who often appear rather undeserving (Raymond, Bieksa, etc.). That is likely due to AV coaching some in Manitoba. If this squad doesn't win this year or next, the coaching staff will be gone.

|In response to Re: Accidentally flushed a small shampoo bottle - am I in trouble?
Yes, it was one of those sample-size shampoo bottles. What problems can happen if it goes beyond the toilet trap? I'm very much in the dark when it comes to anything mechanical... :) Thanks again!
: Katie,
: Are we talking one of those sample-size shampoo bottles?
: Your brother may be able to do it if he's comfortable with removing a toilet. Hopefully, the bottle hasn't gone beyond the toilet trap and into the main drain; I'd remove the toilet and flip it over and try to "evict" the little critter by carefully snaking it.
: Good luck,
: Greg
: : Thanks for your helpful reply. This morning when I tried to test flush, it is now not draining correctly... almost overflowed! I tried pushing the water out by forcing the water into the "drain" part and it didn't seem to work. I came back to it half an hour later, and it is now completely drained. I'm afraid to flush again... is it time now to call someone? Or can my brother solve this problem? Thanks again for your help!!! :)
: : : : Hello,
: : : : Thanks for reading this and for your advice. I've just accidentally knocked a small shampoo bottle down the toilet - quite embarrassing. :( I've tried to reach for the bottle but it's gone! The toilet seems to flush fine and I've tried flushing toilet paper and it seems normal. Do I need to call in a plumber or am I ok?

Good episode. i hope they can do the same thing with the ucomming episodes!.
Good episode. i hope they can do the same thing with the ucomming episodes!.
just watched the episode-awesome
only disappointed by the lack of additional Yondaime fighting
guess its better this way cause if anything was added they would just mess it up like they usually do when they add stuff
the animation was great! compared to the crappy shippuden...
Danzo is actually BERT!!!
obito's voice doesn't sound anything like i imagined
I wanted you to see what real courage is, instead of getting the idea that courage is a man with a gun in his hand. It's when you know you're licked before you begin but you begin anyway and you see it through no matter what.
You all still have Zoidberg!
Just saw this episode and it was awesome. It was good to hear the voices and it was good to watch since it was way different from when I read it. It was sad, but enjoyable.
Signature by me.
wow, just... WOW! amazing episode. it was worth induring the last few painful shippuuden episodes for this, thats for sure! i originally thought they were going to make a whole arc from kakashi gaiden but kinda glad its a 1 hour special instead, the animation was top-tier
any rapid share or megaupload link??

Canada wins fifth place match at World Challenge Club Volleyball CupMAR DEL PLATA, Argentina (September 22, 2012) – Allen Meek of Sherwood Park, Alta., scored 18 points to lead Canada's Full Time Centre men's team to a 26-24 25-22, 28-26 over the University of California – Irvine on Saturday in the fifth place match at the World Challenge Club Volleyball Cup.
Canada finishes the six-club tournament with an overall record of one win and two losses. The team will remain in Argentina until October 1 with three exhibition matches still on its schedule next week.
"It was a back and forth match and we rotated our line-up throughout the match," said Canada's head coach Vincent Pichette of Gatineau, Que. "We started slowly in each of the sets but the players adapted well in service reception which allowed us to have a balanced attack."
Marc Howatson of Victoria scored 17 points with 13 on the attack, two blocks and two aces. Jonathan Sloane of Winchester, Ont., delivered three aces and two blocks in his 14 points showing.
The medal matches were held later Saturday.

Retailers are testing the Slyce app now, with a full launch planned for January.
Amy Dusto
Slyce is a new app from Canadian company Business Instincts Group that allows consumers to take a picture of any item and find where they can buy it, or something similar, online, the company says. Retailers and brands may sell items through the app by feeding Slyce their product catalogs or by allowing the app to access their order management systems directly, says Erika Racicot, one of Slyce's co-founders.
"Slyce enables e-retailers to engage with potential customers and their friends, at their moment of interest, to quickly, securely and efficiently transact, irrespective of their physical location," says Robert Klein, president of business consultancy RSK Strategic Inc., which specializes in marketing in the technology industry. "It also enables all e-retailers, from mom-and-pop to large organizations, to target consumers based on their interests at a specific moment."
The app returns a Pinterest-like array of 30 to 40 images for each search, starting with the most relevant results at the top, Racicot says. Brands and retailers that sign up to provide their product information, including images, to Slyce receive preference in search results, she says. For example, if sportswear brand Puma signed up for Slyce and a customer snapped a photo of a pair of Puma shoes, she would receive only Puma results in the app. But if Puma was not working with Slyce, she would see Puma shoes along with similar brands and styles of shoes. "A lot of value will come to smaller brands that don't necessarily get this exposure," Racicot contends.
"It enables specialty retailers to quickly and efficiently attract potential new customers," Klein says.
An undisclosed number of retailers and brands are currently testing an Android version of the app, Racicot says. An iPhone version will launch for testing in August and the public release of the app to retailers, brands and consumers is slated for January. Slyce will take a fee of each transaction a retailer makes off of a Slyce search; the fee will depend on the size of the retailer, she says. Eventually, the app will allow users to store payment information to facilitate easy in-app purchasing, she says. For now app users are linked to a retailer's site checkout page to complete a purchase.
If a shopper taps through search results and purchases an item, he may tag a picture of it and share it with other Slyce users and on social media, Racicot says. That helps improve results for similar searches in the future. Additionally, if a customer is the first to provide an image of an item that she then buys via Slyce and tags the image with information about the name and brand, she'll receive a small percentage of the fee that Slyce collects on each transaction for that item that uses her image, Racicot says. The commission is meant to encourage users to provide feedback that improves the results.
Slyce can have problems identifying the item in a photo, she says. For starters, if the picture is too blurry to analyze, a consumer is directed to retake the photo. But sometimes the app has trouble identifying, for example, that a shoe on one person's foot is the same as the shoe on another person's foot, she says. (Flatter items, like watches or TVs, are easier for the app to identify right away.) The more users that click on and tag photos, and the more images added to the app's database, the better the app learns to identify items, Racicot says.
The app also has a "cheeky" solution for customers that take ambiguous photos, such as of a landscape, she says. For example, if a customer takes a picture of a city street, she says Slyce will return pictures of concrete with links of where to buy it online. "It's not realistic, but we want to provide a fun and engaging experience for users," she says, "and be able to identity everything as well as possible."

Me too.I would not count Sarah Meier off. She can definitely challange Leonova and others. I would actually be thrilled if she finally won that title!
Very disappointing LPs.
Miki's program could be so good. Her problem is really that she thinks too much while performing. She can't seem to let the music take her over.
Wagner skated well but the program is kind of boring.
Alissa deserved a medal over Leonova. The deduction she received on the Loops was too severe and she doesn't get enough credit for those spins.
I've been off the computer today, so I'm a little late. But .........

Blades of Passion, I'm interested to hear you say that you think Alissa should have gotten higher scores than Leonova. I always wish that Alissa would get better marks for the stuff she excels at, but it's nice to hear someone else say it!
You're not the first person I've heard say that spins aren't given enough weight in the scoring system. My feeling is that when someone is so clearly above par in a significant skill, as Alissa is in her spins (despite other weaknesses), there should be some attention paid. She's up there with Lucinda Ruh and Stephane Lambiel in terms of quality but also in terms of interest. Her spins aren't just tricky contortions--they're beautiful and interpretive of the music. They make her skating matter. They make me respond to her music. In fact, her entire skate is harmonious to a degree that's uncommon even in the top skaters. Her movements flow from one to the next as the music flows from one note to the next. Of course she needs steadier jumps. But to me, Alissa is one of the skaters whose good skates are worth waiting for. Fortunately, she had two pretty good ones this weekend.
Spins are valued, and enough I think. E.g. Lambiel gets 5 points with his final spin in his programs. That's the same value you get with a Triple Loop. Joubert will never get 5 points for a spin, fortunately he knows how to land a Triple Axel, though. But there are only three spins in a program, so naturally the jumps are still more important. More spins in the program would severely limit movement over the ice, footwork, moves in the field etc.
And I still don't get the fuss over Czisny. She is slow, her edges are nothing special, she looks like a scared rabbit before every jump. But yes, her spins are very nice.
Alissa isn't as slow, from what I remember, LIVE... and she's captivating... there's just something girl next door about her that makes a person want to watch her...
she'll never be a cutthroat competitor... kinda reminds me of Josee Chouinard (though she was more spunk than flow)
omg... I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU.
I don't have any doubt on the score Mao got for her skating skills. But the rest of components? I'm not sure. I don't understand how her FS score is more than 10 points lower than Miki's yet her PCS is higher than Miki's.
And like you said, I just remember last week how people were saying yuna's PCS is inflated because she missed one flip. Then how about Mao, huh? This is really funny.
I don't like Mao vs. Yuna thing but see who's score is inflated?
I really respect Miki's decision to fix her edge problem too! I am happy to see Miki being rewarded. She really deserves it
A Triple Loop in that part of the program would be worth 5.5 points base value. Add a +1 GOE and it's worth 6.5.
Almost every top competitor can do a Triple Loop.
But an extremely small amount of people can do a spin with the same level of quality as Lambiel at his best.
Spins are not given enough credit.
everyone should agree that
If mao wins,korean would say MAO WAS CHEATING
If yu-na wins,Japanese would say YUNA WAS CHEATING
wow fantastic right?
sports always inspire the nationalism.
I hope other people who are not neither Japanese or Koreans are fede up.
but we have nothing to do.
Japanese and koreans have always have conflicts.
This has nothing to do with Mao or Yu-na. It has to do with the very future of this sport.
What happened with Mao's PCS is disgusting and shameful. SHAMEFUL. Same with Yu-na's inflation last week. They've forced this code of points system on us, talking about the evils of 6.0, and here it is again proven in both of the first 2 GP events this season that nothing has been fixed, only made worse. Code of a points is a joke, an utter travesty. A complex mess of numbers the public can't understand, all of which are there simply to cover up the same bias and unfairness that still exists. What's the point of any of these competitions if they aren't being judged fairly? There is none.
Why don't you think about all the years of work and sacrifice all of these skaters endure. And for what? Why don't you think about how much better figure skating could be if it was finally judged fairly, and how many times we've been let down by the judges, again and again, over and over. Get mad. Then do something about it. Complain to the ISU, or USFSA. Tell other people what needs changed and why. Because unless people do this, nothing will ever change, and our sport will never be a real sport.
I seriously dont get why everyone's dragging Yuna into this...
I agree that Mao's PCS was inflated this time, but Yuna in TEB???
Didn't she have an absolutely clean programme apart from that missed flip?
I thought the whole point of skipping the jump was to save her PCS b/c otherwise
she would've failed the jump and that would make everything even worse..
Apart from that, I also think the reason why everyone feels that Mao's PCS was inflated is b/c of her programme itself
Like Kurt and Tracy said, Bells seems like it's mainly programmed about the jumps, so when she fails the jumps, I couldnt concentrate on her other skating
components and got the impression that the programme was unsuccesfully skated.

"These flats are comfy and very stylish. I ordered them in a size 7 and they are true to the size. I particularly like the cushioning in the back of shoes ( above the ankle ). I have many flats and most I can't wear for more than two hours because they tend to scratch the top of my heels and give me blisters. These flats I can wear all day....without any pain!"

Spaces for New Programs
by gwilson on Oct.16, 2009, under Uncategorized
Several years ago, Dr. Russell laid out his vision for McMurry's future in a speech entitled Vision 2023 . Central to that vision was an emphasis on growth of the sciences and their importance in preparing our graduates for jobs of the future. Biology responded to the challenge of building new and relevant programs for life sciences by developing three new, more focused programs. One of these is the BIMS program.
At the same time, the McMurry Capital Campaign, Shaping the Future, has a focus on supporting spaces for the sciences. These two developments led to a competition on campus this fall where programs were challenged with proposing new spaces to fit their new programs and help make their delivery more effective and efficient. Thought was that an invitation to develop a variety of science building proposals would provide a excellent collection of projects that could be shopped to potential donors to help improve all science programs. Biology submitted two lab renovation proposals, one of which was heavily geared toward improving spaces for BIMS courses.
The BIMS proposal calls for several improvements, including renovating and expanding spaces now used for teaching molecular biology and microbiology courses. The current spaces, S115 and S102, are home to labs (and sometimes lectures) for Genetics, Molecular Biology, Advanced Bioscience Techniques, Unicellular Organisms, Intro to Scientific Research, Microbiology, Immunology, and Senior Capstone Research. Obviously, such heavily used spaces are unusual on any campus and thus pose challenges to effective and efficient delivery, especially in a research-oriented approach to teaching. Renovating these spaces to better meet the needs of all students in these various courses is a challenge worthy of lab renovation.
In the competition, a Physics proposal and the BIMS proposal were chosen for funding. The Trustees meet this weekend and hopes are they will approve expenditure of $2.5M from the Capital Campaign to fund the renovation projects. If so, planningand design will begin immediately and the renovation will start in May to be completed before the Fall 2010 semester.
Here is what the BIMS proposal consists of: more flexible spaces that will support both lecture and lab, anterooms for equipment and incubation and project setup so students can work on their projects outside of their normal hours without interefering with other classes using the teaching spaces, a common equipment area for major pieces of equipment that might be used by students in either lab, special spaces for working with RNA and tissue culture, and possibly additional offices and student space for study, group work, and "hanging out". Our hope is our students will become citizens of the building and not simply tourists, that thinking and acting like scientists will give all our BIMS graduates a leg up on those who have gone through conventional and impersonal science programs.

The Hollow Men behind the NHLPA coup
Ryan Lambert
September 04 2009 02:12PM
Obviously the turmoil within the Players Association is going to cause a lot of trouble down the road. A lot. A real damn lot. And while it's understandable that most hockey fans are sitting at their computers reading the latest developments with a growing sense of dread that the current CBA will run out and the players will go on strike and effectively kill the league at best, and the sport at worst.
At least we're getting a hell of a show before the league goes all Manhattan Project.
Lost, I think, in the shuffle of every horrifying twist and turn this story has taken since Sunday, is just how entertaining and petty this whole thing seems to be. It's like a Seurat painting; if you stand up close and look at every detail real hard, you're not going to "get it," but take a couple steps back and hey look, it's a bunch of people on La Grande Jatte having a grand old time.
What seems to really be at play here is that Paul Kelly ordered an audit of the PA's expenses and that, in turn, found something not-so-good.
According to sources, part of this group's desire to get rid of Kelly also stemmed from Kelly ordering an internal audit (by a top former FBI forensic accountant) of the players' association's expenses during the previous three years before he took over. Sources claim that through the audit, Kelly discovered that then-interim leaders Penny and Lindros were spending millions of dollars of the union's money. Lindros ended up resigning, but word is, that move fueled this attack on Kelly, and Lindros was very much involved.
That, in turn, led to the one detail that I found to be maybe the funniest and most childish thing ever done by one adult male to another. Wetcoaster, a well-connected HFBoards poster, revealed this detail:
I am told that Lindros drove Kelly nuts with constant trips to his office and memo after memo about pretty much nothing.
Even if it's not true, that's the best thing ever, if only because it reminds me of this:
But before we put levity aside and get down to what this actually means for the NHLPA, the league and the sport, let's have one more laugh at this buried tidbit from an article in the Globe and Mail (emphasis mine):
But many people inside and outside the NHLPA's membership are pointing fingers directly at Lindros (and his parents) now, suggesting that he is the driving force behind what appears to be a budding insurrection.
And the last two details tells you everything you'd ever need to know about what this actually is: a mutiny by a bunch of third-grade girls.
And this is a bunch of third-grade girls that will surely make a bunch of short-sighted decisions about the pay level of the league's players. First point of contention: the elimination of the salary cap. The Players Association will almost certainly make this a sticking point when the collective bargaining agreement between it and the owners expires in 2011. And EVEN IF the union somehow gets that to fly without a work stoppage of some kind (read: players' strike) (read also: won't happen), all it does is hurt the league's economic stability and viability such as it currently is and salaries will once again spiral out of control until teams like the Rangers are paying guys like Bobby Holik an average of $9.225 million per season over two years — I swear this actually happened — and we get another lockout because teams in bad markets can't keep up. But I don't have to tell Calgary fans that.
Second point of contention: That jerk Gary Bettman sure is a jerk! Where Paul Kelly seemed to be taking an approach to the Cold War between the PA and League that was not unlike a fellow Massachusetts native's back in, oh, 1962, Lindros' mushy braintrust seems much more likely to approach it like Richard Nixon; who needs open dialogue when you and the enemy can just sit there with your fingers over a button guaranteed to bring nothing but mutually-assured destruction. At least you don't look like a pantywaist, kowtowing to a strange and foreign enemy whose only interest is seeing to it that your lands are ravaged and your livelihood and happiness robbed from you. The fact is, that's how some within the PA view the League, as though this was in some way not a symbiotic relationship. The enmity that exists between the sides was being thawed, somewhat by Kelly's approach and this was completely unacceptable to "hawks" like Lindros' pro-war party. The military-industrial complex that the PA had built for itself over the years leading up to the lockout, which felt it somehow profited from the ill will between the two parties, wasn't going to stand for his attitude toward achieving mutual peace in our time.
So where does this leave us, the fans? We can certainly learn a lesson from the Cold War-era propaganda. Whether or not the entire world was in clear and present danger of being reduced to ash within a four-hour window, I think we can all agree that there was a lot of overreaction. Hiding under a desk doesn't make you any less vaporized, it just means you hid under a desk like a moron while being reduced to a whiff of ozone gases and smoke. If this is the way the League ends, not with a whimper but a bright-orange, 4000-degree bang, then we can at least sit back in a lawn chair with a pair of sunglasses on and watch the mushroom clouds go up, can't we?
Let's at least get that much enjoyment from it.
Lindros is a Homo, where is the new blog entry, training camp starts next week and the rookies are gathered there has to be some other news to talk about.

September 08 2009, 12:59PM
still nothing..... come on !!! please...
Let's talk about NHL sized players. I wonder how our team stacks up agains the NHL average for size of players.
If I had the time i Would find the league average for forwards and defensemen (i.e. average defense unit size was 6' 3" and 223 pouds) and compare it to the Oilers (6' 4" and 226 pounds) and then see how badly the league really does measure up.
I did a check on the Oilers roster vs the Wild roster (boogard inspired) and here is what I found:
Wild Forwards - avg weight 204.20, Avg height 6' 1.6" Oil Forwards - avg weight 197.67, Avg height 6' 0.6"
Wild defense - avg weight 205.9, Avg height 6' 1.6" Oil Defense - avg weight 209.5, Avg height 6' 1.8"
Wild forwards have one inch and 7 lbs average size on the oil. Oil defense have 0.2 inches and 4 lbs average size on the Wild.
Not as lopsided as I had thought it would be. I wonder about the rest of the league, but my lunch bre4ak is over :(

Anyone read the story on tsn.ca about how Burke may submit an offer sheet to Kessel? Apparently the Leafs re-acquired their 2010 2nd round pick from Chicago that would be necessary to facilitate this deal.
Burke however fails to see the irony in this... "My objection was that I got blindsided by it at a time I thought was inappropriate," Burke stated. "This entire process has involved dialogue with (Bruins GM) Peter Chiarelli.
GAWD...I hate that I even took the time to post about that guy...
September 08 2009, 01:30PM
@ Dan the Man:
it'll be the second time burkie has played the hypocrite this summer. apparently bruins already warned burke that they'll match any offer for kessel tho it could be a bluff since they have limited cap space.
@ Nick Dynasty: Well they won't let a player of Kessel's caliber go for free. Is burke trying to force the bruins to make a trade by making such a move perhaps. But then maybe I'm giving burke too much credit.
Last update Spetember 4th!? Rookie camp has started. I am brain dead after the long weekend. OILERSNATION HAS ZERO, NADA, ZILCH in the form of updates or blog. I would kill for a Wanye update on his ebay bid for his new liver!

Perhaps the tumbleweeds rolling through this site have something to do with this?
As we endure day 4 of contentfreeville, I am left to take stock of everything I have accomplished with my new found free time: spent time with family, enjoyed the outdoors, have been productive at work, learned to play the guitar, lost weight, quit smoking, discovered cures for numerous deseases, wrote a novel, and sailed solo around the globe. Needless to say I'm tired of crap and would like to go back to pissing my days away glued to this site. New article please.
September 08 2009, 01:57PM
@ Colin:
this move definitely gets the wheels spinning... but at the same time, if burke were to throw in the offer sheet the night before the season starts, the bruins would be over the cap if they match and have almost no choice but to let kessel walk
