|Meeting Description:
|Phonetics and Phonology in Iberia (PaPI) is a biennial international conference that brings together researchers interested in all areas of phonetics and phonology, with a special focus on the relationship between the two. It provides an interdisciplinary forum for discussion of phonetics and/or phonology and their related areas, such as language acquisition, language variation and change, speech pathology, speech technology, the phonology-phonetics interface and laboratory phonology research.
The conference has been hosted every two years by an Iberian university, and welcomes researchers working on any language(s). The sixth PaPI conference will be hosted by the University of Lisbon in June 25-26, 2013. The conference will include four oral sessions of 20 minutes presentations (plus 10 minutes discussion) of submitted papers, 2 poster sessions, and three invited talks.
The invited speakers of PaPI 2013 will be:
Angela D. Friederici (Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences, Leipzig)
Aditi Lahiri (Oxford University)
José Ignacio Hualde (University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign)
The two-day meeting will be preceded and followed by satellite events:
June 24:
Workshop Advancing Prosodic Transcription for Spoken Language Science and Technology II
Organized by: Mariapaola D'Imperio (Aix-Marseille Université - Laboratoire Parole et Langage & Institut Universitaire de France) & Martine Grice (University of Cologne)
June 27:
Workshop of the Project Development of prosodic structure and intonation
Organized by: Marina Vigário & Sonia Frota (Universidade de Lisboa)
Workshop of the project Interactive Atlas of the Prosody of Portuguese
Organized by: Marisa Cruz & Sónia Frota (Universidade de Lisboa)
PaPI 2013 Venue:
PaPI 2013 will be hosted by the Laboratory of Phonetics and Lisbon Baby Lab Research Group (Labfon) in the Center of Linguistics at the Faculty of Letters of the University of Lisbon. The Faculty of Letters of the University of Lisbon is broadly based, interdisciplinary and internationally oriented. Graduate courses are strongly interweaved with research centers, and graduate students amount to one third of the Faculty students. The Centre of Linguistics is committed to theoretical, theoretically oriented, descriptive and experimental research leading to novel gap-filling contributions to linguistic analysis, language development and language processing, targeting both adult and child grammars. The Labfon Research Group is a multidisciplinary team of researchers developing laboratory-phonology oriented research. The main lines of research of the group are the following: Frequency patterns in phonology and phonetics, production and perception of prosody (prosodic phrasing, intonation, and rhythm), prosodic variation, and early language development (acquisition of prosody, early word learning).
Lisboa is a historic capital, a potpourri of unusual character and charm, where 800 years of cultural influences mingle with modern trends and life styles creating spectacular contrasts in a friendly atmosphere. Fado is, par excellence, the music of Lisboa. It is today the most noble and genuine product of Portuguese popular culture.
Throughout June, Lisbon is dominated by saints days, which gives the festival its name, Santos Populares. The people celebrate with a program of cultural events, street parties and prayers. Cultural events take place throughout June, but the main saints' days are for Anthony (13 June), John (23-24 June) and Peter (28-29 June).

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
Since there is no forum for OOM to post it in currently, here is some of the more recent info from their site, mostly within the past week or 2 (including their October Development Update which lists some new stuff in the works), and a whole bunch of info I have taken the time to gather from their forum (the CEO and other staff are extremely active there and also hold polls and ask for direct feedback from players in various threads) for those of you who might be waiting for it, or who may not have heard of it. Seperate categories / items areseperated in bold red.
Also be aware that their CEO is planning on making some big announcements next week, expected Oct 24th, with a lot more in depth details about some of the games features & systems.
San's Journey - The story of a character named San, little bit of a preview of the game: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m_tyIIuaanI&feature=plcp
(Note, this is early engine footage. Per the October update they are working on a fresh new engine)
The October Dev. Update:
"October is going to be an exciting time for us! We just sank our teeth into a new render for our engine which means better quality for our community. But as we move forward, let's take a look at everything we have accomplished recently and what else we have up our sleeve.
A small update but we look forward to sharing lot more soon!
Best Regards,
Origins of Malu Development Team"
Death Penalty + Permadeath - Quoted from the CEO:
"Casuals will NOT have to worry about Perma death ever, Perma is PURE option that you must choose and then re-validate only for the hardcore's.
There are two types:
- Perma Death Duel - Both sides must consent and there are serious of events and rules that come into to play that prevent cheesing it out and abuse, if you die here that's it player gone forever but you will never be forced into this ever.
- Perma Death Zones - These will be special area's with a special ruleset, think of a high stakes area in a casino, you will be prompted warned and have to agree before entry and if you die there will be a chance of Perma death here we are balancing it out still to create more fear in these zones for the players.
Now for normal deaths, we have a couple things in mind but its a balance of many different rule sets that are going to exist in harmony and work together. We have been vague because we are not happy yet with the standard system but there is a reason why they are standard."
Territory Control Preview:
The sprawling depths of Malu are radiant as they are vindictive. Fortify your defenses by merging capable guilds into commanding factions and twisting remote territories to your will. Explore more about our dynamic approach to factions and territories.
Power is not born overnight and neither are factions. Before your influence extends to the far reaches of the planet, you will first have to establish a component guild as well as share a stable relationship with other friendly guilds. Already there? Perfect. Next, take at least two guilds who have gained enough experience to begin a faction. The leaders of each guild must vote and agree to merge into one united faction. The once before guilds are now considered divisions of the faction, and a committee of previous guild leaders rules each faction.
Tyrant or peacemonger. The decision is up to you and your faction's ruling class. Choose to devour all in your path by engulfing new lands and obliterating weaker foes, and find yourself overwhelmed in the battle for your life. Decide to maintain peaceful relations with other factions, and valuable territories may vanish while more powerful factions take advantage of your diplomatic nature. Conflict and concord are in the hands of your committee.
The secret to valuable territory control rests within your faction's committee's hands. Strategic planning is necessary to reap the highest benefits and avoid the costly risks. Once you have weighted the gains verses the burdens of growth and collected enough materials, you can now create a territory obelisk.
These towering pillars will act as a center point for territory expansion by expanding your area by a set amount. A wide range of obelisks will radiate varying territory control ranges along with diverse defenses. Take great care in dispatching obelisks since they cannot function until they are fully charged and can be vulnerable to attack during this time. Obelisk location is also important because they extend different types of benefits when placed in proximity to other obelisks.
Because bigger is better. In this uncertain world, the only stability comes in knowing that anything can happen at any time. Bigger territory means better defenses against the unexpected. While the enemy can still infiltrate your borders, they can only damage your obelisks. They cannot attack your faction directly until you decide to join the fight.
There is also no better way to boast your faction's dominance than letting the entire world see a legion of commanding obelisks dotting your boundaries. And yes, there is safety in numbers. The more territory obelisks under your control, the more freedom your faction will have to flourish inside your expanding borders. Grow your territory; your empire will be stronger for it.
Open-World Player Housing & Guild cities-
It seems there was supposed to be some sort of in depth housing preview on their site, but it may be a work in progress since the linka ppears to be down. But what we do already know about player housing is that it is open world and the following:
"Well, in other games, you either place a pre-fab structure or get an instanced house. We're allowing players to build up their houses with different modules and materials. They'll place a foundation and then build pieces on top of it. You may make the resources or get them on the market, etc. You'll be able to resize the pieces if you've focused on certain crafting skills, and you can take a standard component and shrink it down, or make it larger -- it doesn't have to be the default."
Also, their take on housing is wanting it to be like a "work of art", rather than just plain housing.
There are plans to also implement guild created cities, though this may not be in yet at release.
Politics, Assassination, Deserter system, etc-
Quoted from the CEO: "There will be assassins but it will be extremely hard for them to hit there target but if they do it the reward and feeling of accomplishment will be told through the server for a time to come." (This was in regards to assassination and overthrowing of guild & faction leaders.)
Guilds can band together to create their own player run factions, which also have their own forms of territory control, resources, etc.
There is also a Deserter system:
"For those of you that may not play well with others, fret not, Origins of Malu offers a solitary path to dominance. You can choose to be a deserter forsaking all factions. While this will provide independence, freedom has its costs. You will have to seek refuge in the "underground", an outcast from all faction lands and sole seeker of your own resources.
But don't dismiss the advantages of being an outsider underground, it brings unique rewards. You will have the ability to take on bounties, where you will venture into the lands of other factions to eliminate the bounty and collect your payment."
Crafting -
There has been bits of info released regarding crafting, but it looks like a whole lot more info will be coming soon (likely int heir big announcement they keep talking about). Here is a good post I found with the CEO responding to some questins RE: Crafting:
"Will there be skills like armorcrafing or mining what reqirements would you need then and howmany skills will there be ?Will there be specialized places where you have to go to craft armor think about workshops or a place in your own house / handcard for the diehard crafters among us and mine ore's in mining area's where you can build your own house ?
PvP -
Open world PvP with the purposes of territory control, titles, and achievements. No definitive word yet on full loot or not that I could find.
Faction vs Faction (player made factions) warfare.
There will be a bount hunter system. I dont have the details on this yet. (Possibly in big announcement next week)
World size -
"We like you (most of you), want a large diverse world to explore and we are not talking about faked out areas to give the perception of a large world. We also like the idea of no level zones, meaning that high level and low level creatures are in mixed up in the same areas so you will need to be careful of where you go and what you attack at all times. It makes for a more natural environment and no one likes rail road tracks.
So to cut to the point:
- Origins of Malu will launch with over 300km of explorable area
We realize there are games with much more space but we feel this is a good and a obscenely large area for a indie to tackle but if we were doing things easy we would be making a much easier game and not trying to tackle a MMO.
Burning Dog Team"
Classless skill system -
There are no classes. The system is a skill based progession system Full details are expected in next week's big announcement (stated by CEO himself)
Player owned shops & economy -
Quoted from CEO:
"There will be:
- Player owned vendors and shops
- You will be able to setup trade routes
- We are against the wow style auction house, we want bartering and people having to talk to people
- Think SWG and Ragnarok and Aion and put it all into one with a couple of twists
There is also a recently started thread by the staff asking for feedback on how players would like some of this stuff implemented: http://originsofmalu.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=155&p=537#p537
Payment model -
Has not been 100% confirmed yet, but CEO states that they are looking at possibly doing a hybrid sub / f2p model.
Interactive Environment -
We have placed a great deal of thought into this to allow both creativeness and keep with the sandbox experience with few restrictions. We do have plans around this because the player experience is very important to us and we want to make sure someone who spends a lot of time on their sand castle does not get it kicked down instantly by a bigger player.
The world that you and the community work to build will be robust enough to stand against the few to set forth to destroy it for no other reason to grieve but it will not be safe from the much larger threats that we have in mind.
You will have the tools to do something about it, we promise but it won't be easy.
Combat mechanics -
- Twitchy combat w/ active dodging
- Charging: Rather than pressing a skill and it automatically triggering, you hold down skills to charge them which increases their power with more charging.
Professions / jobs -
There is currently a staff created thread going on in the Crafting forums (created yesterday) asking for feedback on what sort of jobs / profeesions people would like to see in game. Give your input there! http://originsofmalu.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=174
Dynamic Battle System -
One of the perks to creating Origins is designing situations that steal you away from the doldrums of everyday life and drop you head first into the unexpected of our game. Boss fights will always be different. You can never use the same strategy because bosses learn your tactics and evolve. This system is not just reserved for bosses; almost all creatures of Malu will have a variable nature.
And we don't want simple mindless combat. While there are times when chopping your opponent's head is appealing, a more challenging and rewarding prey always lurks. And chances are it's already hunting for you.
AI Controlled Quest System -
"If you are tired of quests repeating the same plot, along with the aggravation of waiting for a respawn because another player just completed your quest, then Origins of Malu is your game. While we may not offer the tradition copious amounts of bland missions, we do produce rousing quests that delve deep into our rich anthology.
We believe in story advancement that actually pulls you into the story, not a weak string of somewhat related ideas to move the game along. AI (Artificial Intelligence) allows us to provide a dynamic quest system that dictates specific quest lines that are customized for you and only occur once. We will provide more information on this very soon!"
Races & Bestiary -
Unique & original races & creatures. None of your typical humans, elves, dwarves, etc or fighting wolves, bears, zombies, etc. All custom made for OOM. For full details check here:
Bestiary: http://originsofmalu.com/?q=bestiary
Races: http://originsofmalu.com/?q=races
(Whew! Done for now. Will update as we get more info)
Quick bump before I head to bed.
Give me my OOM forums so It can just be there dammit ><
thanks for the update all in one, this is my sleeper hit of 2012/2013, everything seems excellent. Good for the pvp'r, good for the casual, good for the crafter, good for the adventurer.
twitch combat ala AC, I am hyping this as a Horizons/Asheron's Call Hybrid, which is a combo of my 2 perfect game types of all time

Its just a character story thing they do for a bit of lore, not a gameplay video. The UI is turned off. He is in a wasteland on an alien planet... why would you expect grass? There are a lot of different settings, this is just 1. Here is another with some grass: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=Wa8S13tgAJk
Its also, like I noted after the link, from the earlier version of the engine. Theyre in the process of working with a new engine and improving the looks of the game.
PvP -
Open world PvP with the purposes of territory control, titles, and achievements. No definitive word yet on full loot or not that I could find.
Faction vs Faction (player made factions) warfare.
There will be a bount hunter system. I dont have the details on this yet. (Possibly in big announcement next week)
mdunham (CEO) said OOM will be consentual pvp with faction based pvp zones. Unless that has changed since I asked the question.
I must say that looks very promising.
"Peek", not "peak", by the way.

Correct, its not just FFA PvP everywhere.
It takes place in the open world, not instances or anything. It will be determined a lot by the faction territory you were in. Generally safe in your own faction, but entering another faction make you vulnerable to PvP.

Stylish warm boots
"Love these boots, warm and stylish! You can have fold these down or have them up. The only downside is the fur inside ripped a little bit once folding them down. Good for the cold but not recommended for rain."

Love these boots...even after a year!
"I sprayed these w/water repellent when I got them and they are still in good condition. They are extremely comfortable and go great with jeans/leggings. I get compliments every time I wear them! I have very narrow feet w/a high arch and purchased my usual size 7.5. I wear thin socks and need to give a good tug to get the boots on. I would suggest ordering a size up if you prefer to wear thick socks w/these boots."

Standard Parts | Optional Parts
Go-anywhere ruggedness in a stylish, tough package! The Hot Bodies Lightning GT10 Sport is a rough-and-ready off-road monster machine! At just the right size for back garden bashing, this 1/10th scale 4WD monster truck is a fun and reliable all-around fun truck to drive hard and jump high! Although the Lightning GT10 Sport can easily handle off-road track conditions, it's meant to be a fun and enjoyable 'run anywhere' nitro monster truck!
The Lightning GT10 Sport was designed from the ground up to be a fun, big-tyre truck that can run anywhere, all day long. To do this, HB designers gave it a tough 4WD shaft drivetrain just like racing rallycross buggies, dual oil-filled shocks on every corner, large all-terrain tyres and a sturdy 3.0 size Power Factory engine for massive power! Chassis To give the Lightning GT10 Sport the best start possible, we've put all the components of this amazing and fun truck on a high tech 7075 T6 aluminium chassis that is 3mm thick. We wanted to make sure it would withstand the sorts of punishment any monster truck owner will throw at it! To keep things nice and stiff, the sides of the main chassis are upturned and thick plastic chassis supports front and rear provide extra front-to-rear stiffness. A low profile aluminium radio tray holds the steering and throttle servos in place, and provide extra lateral stiffness. Keeping the chassis stiff ensures that the suspension is allowed to do its job properly! Drivetrain Driving the Lightning GT10 Sport is a 4WD shaft drivetrain taken from the US National Champion Lightning 1/8th scale rallycross buggy! Using a shaft drivetrain is the only option when the truck is expected to be used in mud, sand, rocky and wet conditions. Shaft drive is tough, provides the best lifetime for all components and is easy to maintain. A strong plastic 54-tooth spur gear takes the power from the engine and transmits it front and rear through an adjustable dual pad slipper clutch. A dual pad slipper provides more protection to the drivetrain than a standard single pad design, and we've included it as standard to make sure you get the best out of the Lightning GT10 Sport. The centre dogbones drive the front and rear bevel differentials, which use 4 internal gears for increased durability and lifetime over standard 2-gear diffs. Tough steel outdrives turn steel outdrives and axles, and 14mm hex adapters spin the cool chrome wheels wrapped with all-terrain tractor tread rubber tyres. To stop the Lightning GT10 Sport, a single drilled steel disc brake is used for extreme stopping power. Brake pads shod with material used in full-size trucks clamp down when the brakes are applied, bringing this beast to a quick yet controllable stop! All the brake linkage is fully adjustable, but you can leave it as set from the factory or it can be adjusted for prime operation on any surface. For extra efficiency, all the components of the drivetrain, from the spur gear to the wheel axles, spin on rubber-sealed ball bearings. With these bearings you get long runtimes and long engine life while the rubber seals keep out dust and grime! Engine Powering the Lightning GT10 Sport is a Power Factory legend, the unstoppable 3.0 engine with pullstarter! This strong performer provide loads of power and torque, is easy to adjust, a breeze to maintain and features a convenient pullstarter for easy and quick starting. The Power Factory 3.0 uses a plastic slide carburettor for consistent settings at all temperatures and quick response in any conditions. With 2 adjustment needles it's simple to tune and simple to maintain. An accordion style rubber boot protects the internal mechanism from dust and mud. To protect the engine from power-robbing dirt, a dual foam air filter is fitted to the carb. Protecting the engine from excess heat build-up is the large heatsink head and extra cooling fins on the engine case. Both are made from aluminium, which dissipates heat quickly and effectively. The black coating on the case and the dark silver head look great together, showing the Power Factory 3.0 has a bit of style to go with all that power! The internals of the engine are made from the industry standard ABC components: aluminium piston with a brass sleeve or cylinder, which is chrome-plated for extra durability. Getting things going, the Power Factory 3.0 uses a tough pullstarter for bringing the engine to life. Just prime the engine with fuel, attach a glow plug igniter, give a couple of short tugs on the starter cord and you're off! If you want to use a starter box, that's easy too: just line up the engine flywheel with the starter wheel and away you go. As the engine breathes into life, you'll hear the distinctive rumble of the exhaust at it comes out of the bent tube manifold and into the aluminium tuned pipe. These two pieces of engineering brilliance combine to give the Power Factory 3.0 engine a massive boost in power at low and high RPM, giving you roost-inducing torque and lightning high speeds! Once you're running, a 2-piece racing clutch is used to engage the clutchbell and spin the 54-tooth spur gear. Why use a proven racing design on a fun monster truck? Because it's stronger and more durable than conventional designs! The engine is mounted to the 3mm chassis using a mounting system taken from modern off-road racing RC kits - a wide hex screw keeps the mount in place on the chassis, and the mounts are bolted to the engine. Keeping the engine fuelled is a prime concern, too, so we didn't neglect to add our best 75cc fuel tank. With thick translucent walls, strong o-ring sealed spring-loaded cap, and a 'stone' type filter, you've got one of the best fuel tanks on the market mounted in the Lightning GT10 Sport! With nitro-powered trucks there's no stopping to recharge batteries; as long as the truck's receiver pack and transmitter batteries have good charge, you can just keep refilling the fuel tank and go out for more fun! Suspension and Steering The Lightning GT10 Sport uses a tough suspension design derived from the massively popular Lightning Stadium racing truck, but with a few extra bits for increased durability! Long suspension arms are damped by 2 shock absorbers each, and the rugged design adds to the overall character of the truck. Taking a page from the Lightning Stadium's design, the Lightning GT10 Sport features extra-long suspension arms and thick suspension pins. Both shocks on each arm are 'captured', meaning the mounting screw attaches on both sides of the shock end for extra durability in any type of conditions. The shock absorbers are factory-fitted just like everything else on the Lightning GT10 Sport, and are precisely filled with oil for exceptional handling in turns and cushioning when landing big jumps. With big coil-over springs they are the perfect match to the long suspension arms! Optional mounting points are provided on the suspension arms for lowering the stance of the truck slightly (great for running on-road) and stiffening up the suspension at the same time, without using option parts. The front hubs and steering knuckles, plus the rear uprights, are made of tough nylon plastic for enduring any sort of punishment. The front hubs have an oversized rock guard to keep pebbles and stones away from the dogbone/axle joint. Turnbuckle camber links let you make fine tuning adjustments without detaching anything like other trucks might do, and even the steering links use turnbuckles so you can change the front toe setting if you wanted. Go ahead and try it - even though it's perfectly set at the factory for neutral handling, we don't mind if you try something new! Want to go a little further? You can also change the mounting locations of the camber links! Finally, a tough servo saver protects the steering servo from any accidents, and perfect for keeping the HPI SF-1 servo out of trouble. Electronics Controlling the Lightning GT10 Sport is the trusty and proven HPI TF-3 radio, which has been used by many RC hobbyists around the world. The realistic steering wheel feel of this type of radio encourages the RC beginner to think of the E10 as a real car driving around a race course, and the feel of pulling back on the throttle trigger is just like stomping on the accelerator of a real car! The HPI TF-1 radio transmitter features interchangeable frequency crystals, a retractable aerial with sliding cover, easy access to radio adjustments and simple battery replacement. Taking the signals from the transmitter, the HPI RF-1 receiver uses standard RC connectors to send your control signals to the two SF-1 steering servos which control the steering and throttle/brake. You'll get long-range, reliable connections between your transmitter and car with the RF-1 and dependable steering action from the SF-1 servos. The receiver box is not only sealed against dirt and mud but mounted well away from the fuel tank to protect everything from any spilled fuel. The wires for the switch are smartly routed, as well. Durability By now you might think you've seen all there is to see about the Lightning GT10 Sport, but there's still more! You see, in addition to the thick countersunk chassis, tough ball bearing-supported 4WD shaft drivetrain, dual foam air filter, 8 shock absorbers, sealed radio box, dual pad slipper clutch and aluminium tuned pipe. Sure, that's quite a lot of features that definitely add to the strength of the truck, but there's even more! Thick bumpers at the front and rear are made from a softer material than other parts of the truck so they bend in impacts and don't snap under pressure. Skid plates under the bumpers allow the Lightning GT10 Sport to slide over and past whatever obstacles it can't climb over, if you can find obstacles that big! Tough bumper braces allow the bumpers to spring back after impacts, so they're always ready for more. Beefy suspension braces protect the suspension pins from crash damage and prevent the pins from bending or breaking in a really hard crash. Mounting the body on plastic body posts might sound like a no-brainer, considering the abuse this truck is likely to take, but we made sure to use the same material as the bumpers for the body posts. This makes sure that if you do roll over the body posts won't break and will flex with the roll and let you land on all four wheels, ready to drive off! Speaking of rollovers, the chassis has a handy roll bar mounted over the spur gear. This lets you get a grip on things and carry the truck around, but also gives the body a bit of extra protection should you decide to end a jump with the rubber side up.
- Fully assembled 4WD shaft drive monster truck chassis

"I can handle losing to any country, but losing to the USA is the equivalent of getting a swift kick to the balls, right after being punched square in the balls." - Minister Towelboy to Wanye via bbm, 0.01 seconds after the end of game.
The road to Gold just got significantly harder now, with Canada needing to win four games in six days to capture our second gold medal in men's hockey in the last three Olympics. On the flip side, if Canada still strikes Gold, this will be looked at as little more than a bump in the road that guaranteed another game night of beer sales for bars selling suds to thirsty Canadian hockey fans around the world.
One big Question emerges however:
Who starts in goal against Germany on Tuesday?
Let the debate begin
Luongo or Brodeur?
Brodeur didn't cost Canada the game, but he was outplayed by Ryan Miller and looked shaky playing the puck on several occasions.
Roberto Luongo hasn't played since last Tuesday, but I can't see rust being a factor if he gets the call against the Germans. These are the kinds of games that bring out big efforts by big players and if Luongo gets the nod over Brodeur he will not only thrill the hometown fans but silence a great many Armchair GMs from coast to coast who will be standing in front of the water coolers tomorrow morning screaming for the head of Brodeur.
In 2006 Team Canada was too loyal to veteran guys and a slow and aging corps didn't even make the medal round in Turino. Steve Yzerman has assembled a much younger squad and is favouring present day skill and effort over history and pecking order amongst veterans. And the veterans looked shaky tonight - particularly Pronger and Niedermeyer early on whereas we are witnessing the passing of the Olympic Torch to the new generation of Olympians with every passing game.
Does that continue next game with Olympic Hero Martin Brodeur being replaced by a younger Roberto Luongo? Or is this Brodeur's final Olympic shot at gold - and do you give him the start in the next game?
Drew Doughty is 20 freaking years old and he was a beast tonight playing 23 minutes. Doughty along with Duncan Keith (24 minutes tonight) and Shea Weber have been the best D-men for the Canadian team. If the coaching staff is playing the best guys, regardless of age or resume, then I bet they go with Luongo.
I haven't spoken with anyone, and this is just my feeling based on how this team was selected and how they've given opportunity to the young skaters, so maybe the goaltending torch gets passed on Tuesday night.
Of course goaltending isn't the only reason Canada lost. Their powerplay needs to improve and they have to be better around the net. Rick Nash has to bury that open net he had in the last five minutes. You can say Miller made a great save, but Nash needs to raise the puck and score at that point.
Any coach will tell you that a scorer has the responsibility to finish off those types of plays. I'm betting we will see Luongo on Tuesday and the changing of the guard will be complete from Crosby to Doughty to Luongo.
Sad to say but in my eyes Marty, Pronger and Scotty N cost us the game. Do I think they should not be on the team? No they all should be on the team. BUT COST US THAT GAME NOT THE GOLD.
February 22 2010, 08:23AM
Hey dont worry about it team, Iginla really comes to play against weaker teams ( see "the oilers" and "team Norway"). Hes going to destroy Germany, then maybe that can reignite the fire from within that has been smoldering for the past 3 years, but who knows. I have been banking on that to happen for a long time now.
I seem to remember that Cujo was our starting goalie in Salt Lake City and Brodeur outplayed him for the starting job and carried us to the Gold Medal! Maybe the same needs to happen this year. We had a reality check when we lost to Sweden and I think we changed our goaltenders and Brodeaur carried us to the final against the States...The only really bad thing about this is that the two predicted super powers - Russia and Canada, one of them is guaranteed to finish out of medal contention now...I'm hoping it's the Russians this year!
@Serious Gord
1. Ward and Fleury were great last year, but Brodeur was playing some of the best hockey of his career this year before sliding a bit. I think the mentality is that in a one-and-done tournament, you go with a long track record over hot and cold spurts. That said, guys like Gerber, Hiller, and now Miller are making me re-consider that idea.
2. I'd be surprised if Pronger and Nieds got top-two ice time in the next game. I think seniority gets you there, but doesn't keep you there.
3. I agree, some of the best international lines we've had have been mish-mash lines. Getz-Nash-Heatley for example.
4. I don't doubt that there has been an anti-french bias, but I don't think so this year. Robidas ahead of Bouwmeester on the depth chart. Three french goalies over Ward/Mason/Mason. The biggest question mark is Bergeron, but he made the team. I think the exclusion of Vinny/St.Louis (and Stamkos) has more to do with the division they play in. The team Canada brass represent the NE and the West too much, and are collectively a lot more experienced with those players. I would have surely taken any/all of those three over Thornton and Marleau.
I thought I was watching an Oiler Game.
February 22 2010, 09:43AM
Is there a player in the entire world who has proven himself to be more useless in a Big Game situation than Joe Thornton? Why, exactly, is he on the team again?
I would rank Luongo up there.
February 22 2010, 09:44AM
am i the only one that would go with the guy who led his team to the cup finals the last 2 years? the guy who, you know, actually won a big game or two in the last couple of years?
nothing against bobby luo, but IMO i would rather have the guy who hasnt sh*t all over himself (in recent history)when everything is on the line.
Nope, I would go with Flery too.
I thought I was watching an Oiler Game.
From the 80's, maybe.
Frickin IOC removed the Ovechkin hit on Jagr from You Tube due to their @#$%!&^%$@*&^$!@@# copyright BS! Anywhere else I can see it?
Here's an animated gif of the Ovechkin hit on Jagr, since youtube has pulled it:
Cheryl Bernard is not at all hot... horse face.
Canada had to beat the Russians at some point, so why not right after the German's? There's no easy route to Gold, boys. What's 1 extra game? Nothing, to me. Adversity builds winners. It won't be easy, but Canada is not out. Not by a long shot.
As far as the Americans, they were underestimated by most. Miller played outstanding. I'm sticking with my prediction of American Bronze. Unfortunately, one of Canada and Russia won't be around for the Gold medal game.
Bite your tongue! Cheryl Bernard is a hot MILF! That said, there some incredible hotties on all the women's team. The US's and Austria's thirds in particular!
For whatever reason, I don't see yesterday's loss as a total disaster. I don't a sense of urgency from Team Canada and hopefully this will be the wake up call.
The Americans had the hot goalie, just like the Swiss did the other night. I only hope our goalies start blazing too. And not that it was entirely Brodeur's fault, but it really is a question of what have you done lately. And correct me if I'm wrong, but of the big 6 hockey powers, is Brodeur the oldest goalie?
The logical thing is to go with Bobby Lu. He had a shut out against Norway, and you would hope his familiarity with GM Place's boards and bounces should give him a slight edge.
I've also heard and read compelling arguments for Fleury. He's young and he's the reigning Stanley Cup winner.
Here's an animated gif of the Ovechkin hit on Jagr, since youtube has pulled it:
Thank you good sir (or madam?).
Nobody wants to put the blame on one player but in this case I think it's deserved. There's no question you have to dump Brodeur. He was at fault on at least two goals and flopping like a fish so many other times. It looked like he was fighting the puck rather than controlling it and that just wont work. Besides that I thought the team looked pretty good, they dominated for long spells of play, gave up an empty net goal and a couple deflections. If Brodeur wasnt flopping and trying to hard to overplay the puck we win that game 3-2.
February 22 2010, 10:49AM
Brodeur has an .866 save percentage through 2 games, those are JDD like numbers. Luongo needs to start against Germany.
Wasn't really Broduer's fault. I would pin more of the blame on the defense ... in particular Pronger. It was a REAL fast game and he didn't really elevate his play - can he elevate his play?
Doughty was a revelation to me ... guy has got skills!
February 22 2010, 11:11AM
Am I the only one who looks at the forward roster and sees that every single player is a power forward? Maybe thats the state of Canadian Hockey but this team could really use a pure sniper such as the European teams have. Also I heatily agree with fact that a guy like Smyth would be quite effective on this team. It's not like he's having a bad year either. Lastly, I think that Nash should be taken off the Crosby line as I haven't seen him do all that much with him and I find he is prone to acting the one man show too often. This is something the coaches said they wanted to avoid. Crosby needs someone on his line to either set him up for a shot or be open for a pass, not someone to trail behind and watch.
So the Canadians could really use a sniper? Like maybe someone who is tied for the lead in goals right now? (Crosby) Or how about a guy who is number 3 in goals? (Marleau) Or maybe a couple of guys who are in the top 5 total goal scorers in the NHL over the last 3 years ? (Heatley and Iginla)
Goal scoring isn't the problem.
Nash has been fine, the Crosby-Nash-Iginla combo has been Canada's best unit.
I agree though that Ryan Smyth might have been a good addition.
@Serious Gord
1. ward and fleury were the two best goalies in the playoffs last year. The ONLY reason they weren't our one-two for this is because of seniority nothing else.
Cam Ward was hurt this year, so to say that the ONLY reason he isn't there is because of seniority is WRONG. Yes, chances are only one of Ward & Fleury would've been there anyway, but we don't know that because Ward wasn't healthy enough to earn a position.
Remember, Marty was the BEST Canadian goalie in the league for the first 3 months this year.
Personally though, I would've considered Fleury to start all along based on him winning the most in the past 2 years. I like Roberto, but aside from playing the World Cup gold medal game, he hasn't won jack.
Brodeur has an .866 save percentage through 2 games, those are JDD like numbers. Luongo needs to start against Germany.
Shhhhhh! Ix nay on the JJD bashing-ay.
I want to be MAF, practice a bit then get busy in the village, what a gig.

Doughty was a revelation to me ... guy has got skills!
You're right Pronger and Neidermayer weren't good enough but I don't see how you can't partially blame Brodeur?
Batting that puck out to Rafalski was just plain dumb and he was flopping around all night. He didn't look sharp against the Swiss either, he should have had the first goal in that game.
February 22 2010, 11:26AM
Shhhhhh! Ix nay on the JJD bashing-ay.
Maybe I was talking about a different JDD? Another goalie.....with the same iniitials....Ummm...Jesse....Darwin...DeJarlais...
February 22 2010, 11:27AM
Agreed that ward was injured. My point is that he and fleury should have been the top two by default as it were. Brodeur and luongo were a fait accompli well over a year ago. That is a big part of the reason why we never seem to pick the right team for the job

See this really pisses me off. If you want to remove unauthorized youtube clips because you have your own official clip you want to use, fine.
This is how music videos do it and it is perfectly acceptable.
But removing it when there is no other footage - could you BE more shortsighted?*

February 22 2010, 04:52PM
Yeah, I think Brodeur had his chance to shine and he BLEW IT! Two of those goals for sure don't go in on Luongo. I would start Lu for the next game and ride him all the way to the gold. Niedemeyer and Pronger need to watch from the bench because they did nothing in that game. The young guys should play and Doughty, WOW, LA got themselves one hell of a defencemen, a future Norris trophy winner I think. Anyway, I think the boys will bring it against Germany and then take it to another level when they play the Russians, and yes, the Russians are beatable, so GO CANADA GO!
P.S. Denmark has some hot chicks on their ladies curling team!

Great article, WOY.
Indeed, that was a great article.
I think the thing that annoys me most is the way that a lot of sabemetric advocates (Michael Lewis, for instance) love to characterize anyone from the "old school" as a tobacco chewing neanderthal. The next most annoying thing to me is the way a lot of "traditionalists" like to return the favor by calling sabermetric advocates "nerds and geeks who never played the game".
Both sides love baseball. Both sides want to know as much as they can about the game.
Spirited debate doesn't have to descend into name calling and bad feelings about the game we love.
When you stop learning, and wanting to learn, you're done.
George Will responding to Trumps tweets...."He has an advantage on me, because he can say everything he knows about any subject in 140 characters and I can't."
That could be the best article writtne on the subject. I especilly agree with the following towards the end:. So True.The cosmic joke of the backlash is that no one has yet attacked sabermetrics on its merits.
A great summary of the "why" of sabermetrics. Hard to understand why anyone would shun such a common sense idea.The book has given birth to a retrograde, reactionary movement, all of it provoked by its important but less than revolutionary point: In a money-scarce environment, a business must maximize its chances. A good way to do this is to improve your intelligence-gathering operation, then start looking for opportunities the well-heeled operations might have missed.
But alas, many will continue to argue that the "stat geeks" look ONLY at numbers and forget about anything else. Why would someone NOT want to know MORE about a player?The A's' focus on on-base percentage is entirely compatible with old-school subjective observation. Each method of inquiry informs the other, providing team decision-makers with a more complete picture of a player. Statistics are an objective record of a ballplayer's performances. Interpreted adroitly, statistics can provide an informative, sight-unseen picture of a player; a young pitcher's strikeout rate, for instance, is a powerful indicator of his future prospects. There is a great deal, though, that numbers cannot tell you, which is where subjective, first-hand observation comes in.

hmmmm lets see... what annoys me the most about the Reds???
1) knowing ownership has no clue on what it takes to win EACH season instead of some ficticious future they talk about down the road !!
2) Carl Linder
3) JOhn Allen lies about "Not throwing in the towel"
4) Reds ownership that thinks Reds fans will just go to games to look at the darn GAB!! because its so beautiful
5) Reds ownership that follows the Pirates, Tigers, Brewers plans of opening of a new tax paid park..(wish we had the Phillies and Padres owners.. they saw LOSING doesnt bring fannies to the games!!)
6)Knowing by July 31st, "AAA team the Sequel" will be playing at GAB for the rest of the season
7) Knowing by Kearns and Dunn's arbitration date, they will be traded to the Yankees or Red Soxs, because ownership cant afford them like the Cards can afford Puhols (without a new park being built for them by the Cards fans as of now)
8)Knowing a losing team and slipping attendance, our Reds owners will raise ticket prices and 2005 will be just like 2003, 2004, 2006, etc....)
9) Knowing our ownership and FO types NEVER mention Winning the World Series as a goal before the season starts!!!
10) Knowing that I as well as others on this board try to have hope and faith in the Reds and the Reds ownership has no hope or desire to Win!!!
11) Knowing I am following what the Bengals are doing in the offseason and knowing the Reds will have to pull off a HUGE miracle to finish above 3rd this season as well as down the road of many more seasons!!
12) Hoping CArl gets the hint to sell before he looses a ton of money when trying to sell a AAA team in a MLB park!!
13) With all the bashing of JR. and his contract (which is a bargain compared to others!!), knowing we will never see a superstar EVER sign with the Reds or even agree to a trade to the Reds

Great article. He's "preaching to the choir" with me. I've been a believer for 15 years or so. Outs bad...on base good. Still love a stolen base more than I should though. Love those high OBP guys with wheels.
1. Reds fans who say we have to wait until the Reds are 25 games under .500 before we can say they are a bad team. We are allowed no historical reference....just because everybody starts out 0-0 means all teams are equal.....this frustrates me in a humorous way.
2. Being forced to learn what runs created and OPS means. Don't get me wrong, I am happy that my fellow posters have taught me new ways to appreciate the game, but just like learning my first computer, I was still PO'd while I was learning it.
3. Realizing that MWM (in his first post) was describing my dear departed Dad.
4. The fact that I hated the JR trade 2 month before it was made, and I still hate it, and there is nothing I can do about it but moan.
"Is there a problem officers?"
MWM you are a Michigan fan? How terribly disgusting.
Michigan fans and Lloyd Carr are the most annoying things on the planet.
To keep this baseball related I will say Rick Sutcliffe is the most annoying PERSON on the planet, much less announcer.

Normally, I'm the guy with the hot head, but I'm certain that rila didn't mean that as a slight considering the props he's given to the "SABR" crew.
You might consider that his "annoyance" is that his father is no longer with us, and that the "batting average" reference was simply a reminder of that.
"The problem with strikeouts isn't that they hurt your team, it's that they hurt your feelings..." --Rob Neyer
"The single most important thing for a hitter is to get a good pitch to hit. A good hitter can hit a pitch thats over the plate three times better than a great hitter with a ball in a tough spot.
--Ted Williams
I think it's funny that the a lot of the so-called "traditional" crowd memorize and use stats just as much as the so-called "stats" crowd. They just use a different group of stats (BA, RBI, SB, etc.).
We're all geeks at heart.
"I prefer books and movies where the conflict isn't of the extreme cannibal apocalypse variety I guess." Redsfaithful
Please MWM, take no offense...I meant none. It is just that at this time of year I miss my Dad the most. He was a Reds fan since 1937 until he died in October of 2000.Originally Posted by MWM
But he was just exactly what you described. Every chance he got he complained that the whole game was rigged to make sure the Reds lost....and every time a Red struck out or hit into a DP he wanted the guy traded or released before he got back to the dugout.
Don't get me wrong, I loved my Dad and he was a wonderful guy and a die hard Reds fan. But he was also cynical and quick to scream at HIS players.
I know a lot of that rubbed off on me and it shows sometimes in my posts.....but I try to fight it.

Phlox paniculata provide unsurpassed flowering in summer, clear crisp colors and fragrant flowers in profusion. Good cut flower, a choice selection for the colder zones.
Prefers moist, humus-rich soil. Phlox can be divided every 3-5 years in spring or fall. Cut back by 1/2 in late spring/early summer to encourage more compact plants. Shear off after bloom, just above foliage to encourage more blooms. We specifically carry disease resistant Phlox varieties. To help avoid the possibility of mildew; provide plants with good air circulation (in spring, snip out all but 4-6 stems in a mature clump), avoid drought-like conditions, site plants where they will get sufficient light of six hours or more each day. Should a spray program become necessary, products exist on the market for prevention and control. Removing mature blooms will prevent seeding, if not desired. Clean up spent foliage in spring.
Our plants are all grown in plantable fiber pots that grow incredibly vigorous plants, eliminate transplant shock, and are 100% biodegradable. They have tremendous advantages over plastic pots.

episode 40 where is it ? wtf mate
episode 40 where is it ? wtf mate
Ummm....the anime is only on 28. Also it was said in the episode last week that the next episode would be on 9/13.
my youtube because i KNOW you want to see my Bleach and Naruto AMV's.......
^ lolz, i have to agree with that; Shippudden stretches too many fights, the last two eppy werent that bad tho
Those who don't have the luxury? Eh? Yeah, it's real luxurious, sitting here in my mansion and downloading manga. My servants read it to me, mmmmmmmmmmmmm.
Reading the manga rocks, since it moves on fairly quick. The only reason I watch the anime is because I want to see those kickass fights from the manga.. as long as they don't take 10+ episodes, where nothing happens. Which is what's happening now, but I hope the people who are in control of the anime.. just, speeds it up, or whatever.
ugh... near the end of the episode they announce whether there isnt gonna be a episode or not... why don't people notice those announcements like,
next naruto shippuuden episode will air (date) etc...
They announced it at the end of last weeks episode. No new Naruto anime till next week. The next airs on 9/13, when in doubt you can always check the local listings in Japan.
Come visit Anime Guild for all your Anime needs and enjoy the site. Over 2000 complete and running series available for direct download, always free! Much more to come.
i saw the announcement and all but shit lol i can't read kanji lol didn't know if it was for somthing else, but anyway ya its so slow right now but honestly it still has the old naruto feel once this garaa thing is over it will feel so much better lol

Recommended Reading (08/30/14)
Here are interesting articles from the past week that are worth a read (even if, on occasion, I do not agree).
Don't Ransom Journalists
One day in 2007, I was being shown my bedroom at the Washington Post's bureau and house in Baghdad, where I was spending some time covering the U.S. military side of the war. I noticed an old AK-47 rifle leaning against the wall near the door of my room. The Post's local security chief, a tough-minded Iraqi, explained that it was for me to use "if they come into the house." When I heard "them" come upstairs, he advised, I should fire most of the weapon's magazine through the door, which might hold them off for a few minutes. But, he added, "save one for yourself."
I recalled that bracing exchange when I read the news last week of the murder of reporter and photographer James Foley by Islamic extremists in Syria.
Why Officer Wilson Probably Won't Go to Jail
The history of criminal investigations of police shootings drives home how unlikely it is for an officer to be convicted of a crime for using deadly force. While hard numbers are difficult to come by, we know that police shoot hundreds of people each year and there are at most a handful of successful criminal charges. For better or worse, a variety of legal and cultural elements make criminal accountability uncommon for police officers who kill.
Blacks Must Confront Reality
Though racial discrimination exists, it is nowhere near the barrier it once was. The relevant question is: How much of what we see today can be explained by racial discrimination? This is an important question because if we conclude that racial discrimination is the major cause of black problems when it isn't, then effective solutions will be elusive forever.
A Problem Bigger than Ferguson
Perhaps it would be useful to examine the tragedy with the facts on the table rather than through the lenses of hypersensitized emotions stimulated by those attempting to exploit the situation.
Dear Millennials: Hollywood, Your Favorite Bands, and Your College Professors Have Been Lying To You About Life
Not only have most of these kids never been told the truth about how the world works, they've been told that anyone who even tries to tell them the truth should be immediately tuned out because they're boring, mean and "uncool."
The Buy Nothing Year: How Two Roomates Saved Over $55,000
Over their first bottle of wine as roommates, they questioned their need for the objects that had drained their bank accounts, and, on a whim, decided to spend a year not buying anything.
Ending the Starbucks 'Pay-It-Forward' Cult, for America
Peter Schorsch did something for our nation that took courage and conviction. He knew he'd be assaulted for it, and he did it anyway and then stood by his actions. Even bragged about it. He held to his convictions and said he'd do it again, no matter how unpopular it made him. Peter Schorsch did what we all thought about doing but didn't have the guts.
On Window Fans and Air Conditioning
Even on the hottest nights of the summer, my father knew how to make our house ice cold.

There is a constant drip from my single lever bathtub/shower faucet. The showerhead DOES NOT leak, only the bathtub spigot. The house is 12 years old. The showerhead is price-pfister model 2.5 GPM MAX A 112.18.1. There is no brand name identified on the single lever faucet itself. I got the outer plastic knob off and I didn't have the proper tools to go further. The plastic cartridge? has B 9287* written on it and two long US patent numbers that I didn't write down. I assume that replacing the cartridge and cleaning out all the hard deposits and slimy crud will stop this leaking. Any suggestions on what tools I need and where I can find a parts explosion picture of what I will be taking apart would be greatly appreciated. Betsy

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — A judge has declared a mistrial in the case of two black men wrongly convicted in the 1977 murder of a retired white police officer who sought millions of dollars from the city of Council Bluffs and two officers they claim framed them for the crime.
On Friday, Judge Robert Pratt declared a mistrial after determining a jury couldn't reach an unanimous decision.
Terry Harrington and Curtis McGhee, both of Omaha, Neb., filed the lawsuit, saying they deserved payment for spending 25 years in prison.
Harrington sought more than $60 million and McGhee more than $50 million, alleging retired officers Dan Larsen and Lyle Brown coerced witnesses into lying and hid evidence.
Both men were sentenced in 1978 to life in prison, but were freed in 2003.

We have had some cold weather but no freezing problems. One thing I ran into was our kitchen faucet pressure
is a lot lower (hot and cold). Then yesterday it was working fine and then the pressure slowed to a trickle. I can't find any leaks and there is enough pressure to operate the spray nozzle but it won't shut off when you let go. Any suggestions.
