You know the scenario… it's mid-spring, you're psyched for your first day in weather-appropriate spring attire, and you knock your latte over right in the lap of your new white jeans. Sound familiar? We know, we're cringing too. That scenario is enough to make you swear off wearing white forever! But Joe's Jeans has a solution: a stain-proof white denim collection dubbed Spotless. The collection tagline urges customers to "play dirty" but "stay spotless". Elle did a good job getting us psyched, but we're waiting for the video of models wearing the white skinnies, cut-off shorts and cropped pants, dousing themselves in coffee, soda, and wine.
…Still waiting!

Skip to comments.Bitcoin bubble may have burst
Posted on 04/12/2013 6:57:14 PM PDT by mnehring
The price of Bitcoins has plunged more than 70% in the past two days, sparking a rush of activity that overwhelmed trading platforms and suggested the bubble in the virtual currency has burst.
Bitcoins were down to $77.56 as of 3 p.m. ET Friday. Prices reached as high as $266 per Bitcoin around 7:30 a.m. ET Wednesday. But the price started to fall through the rest of day and Thursday morning.
At about 10 a.m. ET Thursday, trading was halted on Mt.Gox, a Japan-based exchange that claims to handle 80% of Bitcoin trade worldwide. The price at that time was already at about $123, down more than 50% from the peak.
(Excerpt) Read more at money.cnn.com ...
Gold and silver have also dropped.
I'm ruined. I've lost everything. Wait . . . what's bitcoins?
>>> Wait . . . whats bitcoins?
What does it look like? Do you have pics?
You can't fix stupid, but it appears the bubbles that industrial strength stupid creates do eventually pop. Just like all the rest.
Its a panacea for people who complain about the imaginary value of fiat currency by creating something even more imaginary.
We need to go back to barter, I want to paid in cattle.
It's a shortened form of bullshitcoins.
That's, like, you know, easier to text in its stripped down form.
Barter makes a lot more sense. Trading actual value for actual value on your terms alone. Plus, nothing to stop you from doing that now. No legal loopholes.
>> I want to [be] paid in cattle
Fair enough, but how do we make change? I imagine that could get kind of gory.
We could make smaller animals change, like three pigs make one cattle. Or 500 chickens equal one cattle. etc.
All I know is bitcoins are a type of online currency used on the website The Silk Road. The Silk Road trades in illicit drugs and all types of products illegal to procure in the US.
Maybe menudo is the small change?
Thinking of investing in chicken coops.
I'm not surprised. A lot of people bought into Bitcoin when it burst into the mainstream, and the price was inevitably going to come back down to Earth. I still think that Bitcoin will eventually become a viable, mainstream currency.
To oversimplify:
Bitcoins are a virtual currency with key attributes akin to gold.
They rely on a mathematical process which requires a consistent amount of computing power to calculate the next "coin" which is then registered with a central recognized authority. (This like the consistent amount of work required to mine & mint an ounce of gold.) They can be possessed in an anonymous manner assuring no copying occurs. Being based on mathematics, requiring hard work to create, supporting anonymity, and - best of all - having nothing to do with governments, it amounts to viable digital libertarian cash. Maybe hard to believe, but if you learn how it works you will be convinced.
Of late, the value of one bitcoin was about $250. That's real world money.
Alas, like other hard currencies it too suffers inflation and bubbles. Yesterday the value crashed 70%, reason unclear.
For all the reasons to not like it, know it and get used to it. Just like tablets and e-books and other technologies are suddenly dominating, independent e-cash will someday be viable and commonplace.
They never seem to halt trading when it's flying to the upside.
I think it is primarily used by druggies.
Bitcoin is gonna shake the establishment like nothing before...
VolatileBitcoin price is volatile
The price of a bitcoin can unpredictably increase or decrease over a short period of time due to its young economy, novel nature, and sometimes illiquid markets. Consequently, keeping your savings in bitcoin is not recommended. Bitcoin should be considered as a high risk asset, and you should never store money that you cannot afford to lose with Bitcoin. If you receive payments with Bitcoin, many service providers allow you to convert them instantly to your local currency.
No, sorry, bitcoins are not akin to gold. Gold is tangible, exists in the real world, and has served mankind as money for thousands upon thousands of years.
Bitcoins are nothing but another fiat currency created arbitrarily in the mind of computer scientists. They have zero intrinsic value (even less than paper currency, because paper at least has some value). The only reason people assign value to them is that some businesses accept bitcoins for payment. However, said companies almost immediately will convert the received bitcoins to dollars, thereby demonstrating that bitcoins fail one of the chief attributes of money: They are not a store of value.
Because bitcoins are not widely accepted, they also fail another test of legitimate money: They are not a widely-used medium of exchange.
And CEO's and politicians full of hot air and no brains would be paid in what's left in the barnyard after the cattle are gone.
I want to be paid in coed hookers.
I built one last spring. Took a month, but it turned out to be a regular Taj Mahal. Chickens are cool. We are getting a basketful of eggs every day whether we want them or not. It's fun to give them away to our friends and neighbors. Fresh eggs taste fantastic, especially if you are used to supermarket eggs.
Anyway, the feed mill near us always has a stock of ready-made chicken coops, and they have no problem selling them for $700 to $1,000+, depending on capacity (ie., # of chickens). I recommend you "invest" in one nice coop for yourself.
This type of thinking is so passe. I am thinking of starting a company that will exchange real bitcoins for others gold.

Comments: I have ridiculously flat feet and even though this shoe has a medium arch, I found it to be the most
comfortable Nike shoe (I've tried the Breathe Free II, and the Courtlite 2). I can also say that since the shoe itself is so flexible, it
sort of molds to my flat feet. There aren't any bulges where my arch should be. I do however have to remove the Ortholite insole
to find the most comfort. These shoes last forever (I play 15.5 hours a week), but the only setback I had was that the mesh on the
side started ripping very early since my feet pronate so much. I was able to tape the tears up from the inside and it slowed down a
All in all, I will definitely buy this shoe again!
From: Kate, 10/12
Comments: Don't knock it, I'm a guy, and I needed a pair of court shoes for a match, so I borrowed some
friends shoes, and these are actually pretty decent shoes. I usually use the barricade 6.0, but these are a bit lighter,
these could be worn for mens because they dont look that feminine (the red, that is).
From: Anon, 5/12
Comments: This shoe needs breaking in before they start to feel comfortable. The first time I wore them,
my feet hurt within 15 minutes especially the outside of my feet. After a couple more times, they are feeling good. The
light weight is nice. My foot width is medium. The fore foot of the shoe feels comfortable but the heel is a bit roomy.
I've threaded the laces a bit differently to tighten up the heel area and that seems to help. Also, once I start to play and
my feet get warm, the heel feels fine.
From: Sarah, 5/12
Comments: My boyfriend bought me a pair as a present 4.5UK size. They were too big, we went to the
shop and I tried
on a size 4UK and exchanged them. I cannot get used to them, they feel very bulky and big and they ARE too long!!
Very weird and
huge disappointment Nike! And they are not cheap. On the good side they feel very light and stable, but I cannot get
the size right. I
do not recommend them.
From: Marilena, 4/12
Comments: Everyone else has good comments but these are the most uncomfortable shoes I've ever
had. I
tried breaking them in for 4 hours and they wouldn't budge
From: Mel, 4/12
Comments: This is a very light weight shoe that manages to feel very stable. I have a wide fore foot and
an average
size heel and these fit me perfectly. I'm not in love with the colors, but with two ankle surgeries, fit and comfort are
way more
important. I play on hard courts and my first pair have held up well. I plan on buying several more.
From: Susan, 12/11
Comments: I ordered these shoes last week in yellow without trying them. I usually don't buy shoes I
haven't at
least tried, but I loved the look of these so much that I bought them anyway. I wore them to practice on Monday and
they felt
pretty stiff. They loosened up after a while, but they hurt my feet/ankles/legs a lot. I then changed the insoles to a pair
with extra
cushioning I had bought and they were great. They didn't hurt at all with my insoles. Also, I had no problem with them
being too
wide or narrow. They fit very well. I love them because they are very light and stylish, and breathable too. Just make
sure you don't
tie them too tightly because they will hurt your feet if they are too tight. I can't wait for new colors to come out because
I will
definitely be purchasing again!
From: Sarah, 12/11
Comments: The shoes were very comfortable even though I have a very narrow foot. I made it tighter
and it was a
really good fit. Plus, i love the colors.
From: Angelina, 11/11
Comments: This shoe was uncomfortable from the beginning, and started to wear within a week! They're
wore out after three weeks! Would not recommend.
From: Jenna, 10/11
Comments: I did not like this shoe at all. I normally wear a 9.5 in Nike (ever since the original Cage) and
had to go
down a 1/2 size. The outside of the shoe is plastic-y and the toebox is way too wide. I also felt like the shoe forced my
foot to roll
inward (I already overpronate). These shoe felt very awkward to walk in, let alone run in.
From: Jackie, 8/11
Comments: I am sad because I loved this shoe. Nike Lunar Speeds always had the best colors and it
made it so easy
to buy new tennis shoes Now with the new design I cannot buy them because they do not fit my feet any more. They
are too wide
on the top.
From: Anon, 8/11
Comments: When I tried them on they were okay at first fit, so I thought what the heck, and bought
them. WOW.
Yes, they are big. So I put in insoles and tied them tightly. I've been playing with them for two weeks and they are fine.
They are so
light for being pretty big, and they look AMAZING.
From: Lizzie. 08/11
Comments: I have loved the past two versions of this shoe. This version 3 is all wrong - too long, too
wide in the
heel. They are awful - I am so sad! They look great, but after trying to wear them thinking maybe they just needed
breaking in
(neither of the two previous versions did), I have given up. They made my feet so so sore - I will not be wearing them
ever again.
From: Christina. 6/11
Comments: These shoes are very bulky and run big. I loved my lunarlite's, but these fit
nothing like that. I would not recommend these shoes.
From: Natalie. 5/11
Comments: This shoe is WIDE not narrow! I never would have bothered to try them, but a friend had
them and I
tried it on. I've never been able to wear a Nike tennis shoe because most of them do run narrow! They run a little
wider across
the ball of the foot than the Barricades ... similar to the Barricade 5.0 wide.
From: Anon. 4/11
Comments: I always buy the lunar series; I love the lightweight and shape. The new pink ones however
are sized
differently because no longer do they fit securely on my feet. This is the 6th or 7th pair I have had. They look clumsy
and feel too
From: Michele, Danbury, CT, USA, 03/11
Comments: Bought this shoe for my 12-year daughter. She's a junior player and plays 4-5 days per
week on both
hard and clay courts. The junior players love the style and colors of the shoe. Unfortunately, after 7 weeks, she has
worn a hole
in the sole of this VERY expensive shoe. This is a huge disappointment for us. Nike has the most stylish shoes for the
players but has very little durability!

Gloucester bounced back from their Round 8 loss to Quins by powering past Sale Sharks in a 29-3 victory at Kingsholm on Saturday.
Gloucester bounced back from their Round 8 loss to Quins by powering past Sale Sharks in a 29-3 Aviva Premiership victory at Kingsholm.
Five Freddie Burns' penalties gave the Cherry and Whites a 15-3 lead at the interval, with the visitors' sole score coming through Danny Cipriani's three-pointer. And the win was rubber-stamped in the second half through Akapusi Qera's touchdown and a penalty try.
Despite a dreadful run, which culminated in the demotion of Bryan Redpath to head coach, Sale have built some confidence in recent weeks. However, they are still entrenched at the bottom of the table and they fell behind early on at Kingsholm.
Burns opened the scoring with a penalty before he added another after 11 minutes which gave the hosts an early 6-0 lead. The fly-half has been in impressive form so far this season leading to a call-up to the England squad as injury cover.
And two further three-pointers through Sharks' ill-discipline allowed Gloucester to build that advantage. It was becoming repetitive as the former age-grade star kicked another from the tee.
Towards the end of the half, Sale finally managed to cut out the mistakes and ascertain a certain element of control.
When the home side were penalised at the breakdown, Cipriani converted the resultant opportunity to give them hope going into the second half.
The visitors were much brighter after the break and had several chances to reduce the arrears but often the final pass let them down. They were duly punished for their profligacy by a clinical Gloucester outfit when Qera crossed the whitewash.
A dominant scrum from the hosts ended in Luke Pearce awarding a penalty try which means the Sharks remain rooted at the foot of the Premiership.

Cute, but I prefer more contrast
"I have worn mens Vans my entire life because I love the checkerboard slip-ons and the old skool lace ups. I was in the market to replace one of my more beaten up pairs, so I thought I'd go ahead and try a womens' style. These looked cute and pretty similar to the basic lace-ups I like. However, they looked a bit different to me when I got them. The grey twill is cute, but the Vans design on the side is barely noticeable against it. It's a cute, comfy sneaker, but they don't really have the Vans look I want. If you want something a little more feminine, these might work great for you. I wear an 8.5/9 and a mens 7 in Vans, and the women's 8.5 fits perfectly. I am going to return them, though, and go with the classics."

Cozy but Stylish
"I have loved every pair of Vans I've owned and these are no different. The contrast coloring on these make them more visually appealing, in my opinion, then the standard black ones :) I typically wear a 9.5/10 and a 10 fits good for me."

super comfy!
"i absolutely love these shoes! I don't have it in the gray/black twill (i have it in the navy canvas) but I didn't want to take them off they were so comfortable. I wore them shopping on black friday all night long and it felt like I had only been walking for a couple of hours. The shoe is true to its size, and isn't too narrow or too wide. I'm a 7.5 and I always try that size on, but recently I've been going down to 7. not with this shoe! love it!"

Wireless connectivity is a prerequisite in most user devices today, from laptops, to phones, tablets, e-readers, etc. Usually radios reside on a separate die from the application processor, resulting in bulkier devices. Integration of the radio and application processor would enable smaller form factors for slimmer devices (maybe even miniature wearable devices), and can also reduce the cost of the overall solution. The low cost of such integrated processor+radio platform can further enable a host of new applications towards the vision of the "internet of things" where devices such as home appliances, sensors, etc communicate with each other, exchange information and can be actuated remotely.
However, integration of the radio together with the application processor is not a trivial task. Application processors move quickly to the next available CMOS process to take advantage of the increased density afforded by CMOS scaling and Moore's law. This pace is very difficult for RF circuits to maintain: conventional RF design requires accurate transistor models which can take a long time to develop, and the radio might need multiple spins and tweaking to meet performance targets. Conventional RF circuits can also suffer from lowering supply voltages, worse inductors, etc as CMOS technology scales. To top it all off, integration of the radio together with noisy digital circuits can significantly degrade the radio performance e.g. due to disruption of the sensitive voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) used to generate the accurate radio signals.
Intel Labs has been working on techniques to overcome these issues and allow integration of radios inside large SoCs (System-on-Chip) in the most advanced CMOS nodes. Paper 9.4 presents a digital transmitter for WLAN implemented in 32nm. The power amplifier of the transmitter operates as a digital switch, which has two important implications that resonate across much of our work: (1) the performance improves with CMOS scaling like a digital circuit (while RF circuits usually get worse), and (2) the design does not need mature/accurate RF models. The power amplifier was in fact designed with no RF models very early on in the life of the 32nm process. To be able to operate with such a switching 0-VDD power amplifier, the amplitude information of the OFDM signal is generated by adding two constant-amplitude phase-modulated signals: when these signals are in phase the amplitude of the sum is high, and when they are out-of-phase the amplitude is low. Paper 9.4 introduces a digital phase modulator architecture that can deliver, for the first time, OFDM bandwidths of up to 40MHz required for high rate 802.11n WiFi. The phase modulator uses inverters loaded by capacitors to introduce the signal information, making for a completely digital and scaling friendly design (no inductors!). The complete 32nm transmitter achieves state of art power efficiency which is even expected to improve further with further CMOS scaling.
- Transmitter and ModulatorAnother key block of a wireless radio is the Local Oscillator Generation (LOG). This block is usually added after the sensitive VCO to protect it from unwanted interferers. For example, the LOG can be used to offset the frequency of the Power Amplifier from the VCO to minimize disruption of the very sensitive VCO block (disruption is maximum when PA and VCO operate at the same frequency). Conventional LOG circuits sometimes use multiple inductors and can be very application-specific. Paper 20.6 introduces an all-digital LOG architecture optimally suited for SoC integration since it consists entirely of elementary digital building blocks: flip-flops, simple logic gates and delay lines (again, no inductors!). In addition to its simplicity, the architecture is reconfigurable, which allows the same hardware (LOG and importantly VCO) to be shared between different wireless standards (e.g. WiFi and WiMAX) that would normally require duplicate hardware. The reconfigurability of the LOG is also particularly interesting in the context of SoC interference. For example if an SoC interferer appears close to the radio frequency (e.g. a clock whose frequency is varied to reduce power dissipation), the LOG can quickly reconfigure itself to protect the VCO and preserve signal fidelity.
The last radio paper from Intel Labs, paper 3.4, takes the integration challenges of radios inside large SoC to the extreme: it shows, for the first time, a WiFi radio integrated in a complete PC-on-a-chip comprising dual-core Atom processor, PCIe, DDR3, PMU, etc. Interference mechanisms between the radio and the rest of the PC have been mitigated properly at all relevant levels, e.g. RFIC, package, etc. Measured radio results show state of art performance even when the PC is in full operation. This research indicates that interference mitigation techniques together with the scaling-friendly digital radio architectures of the previous papers could enable new levels of integration, time-to-market and cost targets, creating new opportunities and applications for devices that will "connect and enrich the life of every person on earth".

Botched ATF Storefront Sting Had Little Security
Submitted: 02/10/2013
Story By Associated Press
- A Milwaukee storefront that the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives used as part of an undercover sting operation had little security in place to ward of burglars.
The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports that new documents show the burglars had been to Fearless Distributing before to sell guns and drugs to undercover agents. When they robbed the place in October, they had such easy access that they propped a door open and returned the next day with a moving truck.
A bipartisan group in Congress wants the ATF to provide some answers. The ATF has launched an internal investigation.
Former federal prosecutor Rory Little says undercover operations can have great benefits, but there is also great risk. He says it all comes down to details and supervision.

Former Portage County doctor pleads guilty to sexually assaulting patients
Submitted: 02/18/2017
- A former Portage County doctor could go to prison for sexually assaulting his patients. Wilton Calderon pled guilty to three felonies Friday.
Calderon was a caregiver at the Plover Family Practice until leaving it in 2015. He then moved to Connecticut.
At least seven women accused Calderon of sexually assaulted them during appointments. Some patients said Calderon placed his genitals in their hands and performed unwanted gynecological exams by penetrating them with his fingers.

Update: Arrest made after 39 dogs taken from It Matters to One in Sugar Camp earlier this month
Submitted: 02/17/2017

- Update Feb. 17, 2017 10:20 p.m. -- The woman who runs an Oneida County animal rescue could face animal mistreatment charges.
Oneida County Deputies booked Stephanie Schneider on Thursday. She is due in court on Feb. 27.
Last week, deputies removed 39 dogs from Schneider's "It Matters to One" in Sugar Camp and put them at the Oneida County Humane Society.
Police are recommending charges to the district attorney, which include failing to provide food and water, mistreating animals, and obstructing officers.
People who know Schneider say they can't believe this is happening.
"I'm just heartsick about this, and I'm sick at heart for her," said LynnAnn Thomas, a Sugar Camp resident who says she's friends with Stephanie Schneider.
"Those are her children. She would never, ever , ever mistreat them," Thomas said.
But that's exactly what police believe Schneider did. Last week they removed the dogs from the facility after a weeks-long investigation that was prompted by complaints and concerns from several people.
"People that had worked or volunteered there were concerned about the conditions that the dogs were in and the fact that they were not receiving food or water," said Oneida County Sheriff's Capt. Terri Hook.
Those accusations baffle Thomas.
"I been over there several times, it's always been meticulously clean, happy dogs," Thomas said.
Thomas believes whatever condition the dogs were in, they came to Schneider that way.
"She does get some really, really, really desperate cases, and I imagine that they take a long time to heal," Thomas said.
Thomas added she got her own dog from It Matters To One a few years ago.
"I got my little Hankey, he came in in really bad shape, and she wouldn't let me have him until he was nursed back to health," Thomas said.
Since the dogs were removed, It Matters to One posted certificates of veterinary inspections on its
Facebook page for most of the 39 dogs. The Sheriff's Office has seen those and is including them in its investigation, which is ongoing and may not end soon.
"Just to ensure that all the dogs are healed and make sure they've received all the care they need," Hook said.
Newswatch 12 has reached out to It Matters to One and has been communicating with the rescue via email.
The state Department of Agriculture Trade and Consumer Protection is helping the sheriff's office with its investigation and will decide if the rescue can keep its license.
Newswatch 12 also reached out to the veterinarian who conducted the inspections for the rescue, but has not yet heard back.

- An alarm system used only in extreme emergencies -- like an active shooter -- went off at a Stevens Point school Friday. Thankfully, that report was a false alarm.
Stevens Point police were called to Ben Franklin Junior High School at 12:19 p.m. Police responded within three minutes. Some students were already leaving the building when officers got there.
Police made sure students outside got a safe distance away, then sent teams in to sweep the building.

Persimmons are especially popular in Israel where they are known as Sharon fruit. They are very popular throughout the Middle East and some varieties have recently become readily available in the Western hemisphere as well. They have a smooth, creamy texture and a refreshing taste and are fantastic in this healthy drink combination.
- 2 overripe persimmons -
- 1 cup vanilla yogurt (low-fat) -
- Juice of half an orange -
- ½ cup ice cubes -
1. Cut each persimmon into quarters and squeeze out the center (removing the pits) by holding onto the persimmon and squeezing gently.
2. Combine all ingredients in a blender and pulse until smooth and creamy. Serve cold.
NOTE: When persimmons are ripe, they have a red-orange skin and flesh. You can store them in the refrigerator for 3 or 4 days. Persimmons that are not quite ripe enough can be ripened at room temperature. If eaten even when slightly under-ripe, persimmons will make your mouth pucker up!

Chapter 3
The children of Israel destroy the people of Bashan—Their lands, on the east of the Jordan, are given to Reuben and Gad—Moses sees Canaan from Pisgah but is denied entrance thereto—He counsels and strengthens Joshua.
1 Then we turned, and went up the way to Bashan: and Og the king of Bashan came out against us, he and all his people, to battle at Edrei.
2 And the Lord said unto me, Fear him not: for I will deliver him, and all his people, and his land, into thy hand; and thou shalt do unto him as thou didst unto Sihon king of the Amorites, which dwelt at Heshbon.

great looking and comfy, but didn't hold up :(
"I bought these boots in mid-December when it became apparent we were going to have an ugly winter. I've worn them after work and on weekends to run errands all winter long. I thought they were great until I noticed multiple holes along the stitching around the sole yesterday - on both shoes! So disappointed that they barely lasted one season."

I purchased size 8 but they are even longer then my other 8,5 size shoes. And these booties run a little bit narrow. Over all very good boots."

Comments: The packaging and everything is true to the product, I did not try the 16G but since some of the
commenters here prefer this 17 I would stick to it. This matches my Pure Drive very well because of its stiffness and this
string is soft with great amounts of power. If you prefer performance over durability, you should check this string out.
From: Joshua, 11/15
Comments: I think it's a terrific price and when it's a 17 at 1.24, I'm going to expect it to move around a bit.
at 55 lbs on my racquet. It's low price means I can go try other 17s and while still around know it's a great "go to" string. I
did try
the 18g and loved the feel but popped the strings within a week. I prefer 18s for the feel but stick with 17s.
From: Teresa, 9/14
Comments: I love this string. It has a lot of power and control but the durability may be an issue if you are a
breaker (lasted less than 10 hours for me and I'm not a string breaker).
From: Hung, 5/13
Comments: I string all my own racquets and also string for my highschool teammates. Found this string
online, saw
it was cheap, and I was looking for a good deal, so I bought a few packages of this and a few of the 16 gauge as well.
Whenever I
strung this combo (17 in the mains, 16 in the crosses) for a lower skilled player, they always said they loved it, so I decided
to try
this string combo myself. It just wasn't for me. I am a pretty big hitter and like to take take big cuts at the ball with a lot of
topspin, and these strings don't really like that. They moved around a lot on my groundstrokes as well as on my serves.
with the economical price, sick color selection, and pretty good feel, I am sure these strings would work for the right
player. It just
isn't me. But can you beat $3 a pack?
From: Adam, 3/13
Comments: This is definitely my favorite string set up to date. This one as the mains at 50 lbs and Tecnifibre
Code 17 on the crosses at 48 lbs on a Head YT IG Prestige Midplus. The feel and power is awesome. It's actually quite
stiff and
resistant to moving but it's still very comfortable. I tried it previously on a Wilson BLX Tour Ltd with Red Code on the
mains at 61
lbs and this string at 59 lbs on crosses and it wasn't quite as effective, but that could've been the racquet being so stiff.
From: Michael, 1/13
Comments: Great string! I use the 17g version at 61.5 lbs on a KPS88. If you think the string moves too much,
set it at a higher tension. This is synth gut so it should be super tight anyway. It's not durable at all, but the point of this
string is
to get something affordable that makes you hit amazing for one hour or so. Most synth guts are efficient the first hour and
feel poorly for 3 hours until they break. This one is a no brainer, it breaks once it is out of pop. It suits aggressive styles
which do
require a fine balance of power and control, and it does respond to topspin very well. For better durability, use it on the
and use a more durable synth gut on the main (Wilson Pro Tour or X-one Biphase). This is ideal for those who string their
From: Romain, 12/12
Comments: Do not waste your time and money on this, especially when you
are stringing yourself. This string is so elastic and slippery that it
slips through my stringing machine's gripper. I cannot string it on my
machine, especially not with any sort of accuracy (drop weight).
I ordered a racket strung with it from TW also, and the string bed
moved around A LOT. Now that I tried to string it I know why, the stuff
is too slippery and smooth.
I strung Gosen strings and others and never had problems like this.
This is just a junk product. You better have a top of the line stinger with great clamps, otherwise
forget it. So why bother when there are better options for the same
From: Werner, 6/12
Comments: I am a junior satellite player who is about 4.5 and I used these strings throughout most of the
I like to get the most power possible and I noticed that it had excellent pop and easy access to spin. The bad things about
it were
that it lost tension fast. I was constantly fixing my strings with the "string thing," which made the outside "power strip"
break and
eventually the string broke when I started hitting big forehands in a match. I would strongly recommend this string to
players who
like their slice or are clay court specialists.
From: Kevin, 9/11
Comments: I am a fairly good junior who has won a few tournaments and I used to always play with poly/co-
strings. My friend recommended I try these strings. I absolutely love them! They have great power and nice control. The
only thing
I found a bit annoying was there durability. I bought 16, 17 and 18 gauge just to see what they were like and let me just say
don't last long. I would definitely recommend these strings to anyone who isn't a frequent string breaker or strings there
From: Tim, 7/11
Comments: I currently use a Microgel Prestige MP with lead tape under the grommets at about 12.1 ounces. I
strung this in there at 56 lbs and I love it! i have tried almost every single poly there is and about 70% of all other synthetic
and for the price, i like this because it plays consistent from start to finish. It lasts me about 6-10 hours of good hitting at a
From: Anonymous, Norcal 02/10
Comments: Tried the string, and I liked it. Definitely worth buying to try out at least once. I ended up liking it
than Prince Syn Gut 17, unfortunately no durability. It lasts me about 6hrs if I'm not hitting my best. When I'm hitting all out
on a
good day no more then 5hrs usually less, hits nice, decent feel and good power (for the price). Doesn't hold tension all that
but since it goes pretty quick its not really a problem. Definitely a string worth trying out (the 18G is amazing although it
has no
durability what-so-ever).
From: Josh. 06/09
Comments: I usually don't go for the cheaper synthetic gut strings ($3-$4 ones) but I have hit with a few
that I liked. My local pro shop had these in stock so I figured I'd just try them out for the fun of it. Overall I have to say
that this
is a pretty bad string as far as feel goes. My string of choice is Head IntelliTour 17g hybrid. I noticed a considerable
reduction in
spin production with this string as compared to my usual. That doesn't help considering my Head LM Radical has a dense
string pattern. And the feel just wasn't great especially at the higher tension that I like.
From: Anon, 01/07
Comments: I did not like this string as much as Gosen Generic 17. I don't
expect much out of a 17G synthetic, but both playability and durability were worse than the
Gosen, which is cheaper by the reel.
From: Jason, LA, USA. 11/04
Comments: I have tried many strings and I really liked the way this feels. It
added a lot of bite to the ball. The only drawback is the durability. I'm a baseliner who hits
with heavy topspin and hard flat serves and heavy kick serves. I get about 3 hours or
approximately 3 sets out of this string. Easy to string if you have your own stringer and this
string is easy on the arm. I would definitely recommend this string. I will, however, wait and
see if it becomes available in a reel. If you're not a big hitter, then you will probably get the
durability you're used to with a thinner 17 gauge. Currently use Wilson Stamina 17, which
lasts twice as long, but with less playability.

The Dirty Rotten Scoundrels the musical will be presented by the Emery High Drama Department on Nov. 18, 19, 20 (Thur., Fri., Sat.) 7 p.m. at the Emery High School Auditorium, Castle Dale. The cost: $4 per adult and $3 per student.
Neal Peacock is the director for the production.
This hilarious comedy is the musical adaptation of the popular movie Dirty Rotten Scoundrels which starred Steve Martin and Michael Caine. The play was written by Jeffrey Lane with music and lyrics by David Yazbek and is presented at Emery High School through a special arrangement with Music Theatre International of New York.
Dirty Rotten Scoundrels is the story of two con men - Lawrence Jameson who has been cheating rich women out of their money on the south of France for many years and Freddy Benson who is the new, young, con man in town. After first working together, these two men come to understand that the French town of Beaumont Sur Mer is just not big enough for both of them and so a contest is arranged where each of them will try to con a young woman out of $50,000. The first one to take her for the $50,000 gets to stay and the other must leave town. They settle on a new tourist who has just arrived in town Miss Christine Colgate, the American Soap Queen, and suddenly the con is on.
A side story also involves Andre Thibault, the police chief of Beaumont Sur Mer and Muriel Eubanks a rich widow. Andre's job is to keep Muriel from discovering the con and to keep her believing that Lawrence is a Prince in need of her money to return to his kingdom. Andre comes to believe that the only way he can keep her ignorance intact is to woo her - after all he is French. Add Jolene Oakes of Oakes, Okla. who is intent on marrying Lawrence and you have a recipe for hilarity.
The production involves 39 Emery High School students and stars Elise DeBry as Christine Colgate; Bryson Weaver as Lawrence Jameson; Tyrell Clements as Freddy Benson; Kalin Burr as Andre; Tennyson Fauver as Muriel and Adrienne Carter as Jolene Oaks. The play is under the direction of Neal Peacock with Marilee Cox as the music director. Music is provided by a small orchestra under the direction of Ben Carroll. Tickets may be purchased at the door or in advance from Emery High Drama Department students.
Everyone is welcome out to this production and the students ask for your support.

Owen Roizman, ASC and Tobias Schliessler, ASC will discuss their experiences filming The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3 during a seminar at the CineGear conference at Paramount Studios. Roizman shot the original film in 1974. Schliessler lensed the contemporary version, which premieres on cinema screens this month.
Both films open with hijackers grabbing control of a New York City subway train and demanding a hefty ransom in exchange for releasing the terrified passengers. Call it a sign of the times: The hijackers demanded a one million dollar ransom in the original film. They upped the ante to $10 million in the contemporary version. The stories are basically the same with just a few twists in the personalities and motivations of the hijackers in the 2009 version.
Both films were primarily produced at practical locations in New York City, mainly inside of dimly lit subway cars, on station platforms and in dark tunnels. Both films also featured breathtaking "money run" scenes with cars racing through Manhattan streets to deliver the ransom on time. Roizman and Schliessler both stressed that the environments at the practical locations where they shot their respective films were like characters in the stories. They lauded the cooperation of city officials.
Roizman and Schliessler had a common goal of creating visual grammars that lure audiences to feel like participants rather than spectators as the drama unfolds.
Roizman was still in the dawn of his career when producer Edgar Scherick and director Joseph Sargent invited him to collaborate with them on the production of the original film. Roizman had just five previous feature film credits as a cinematographer, but he had already made his mark with Oscar nominations for The French Connection in 1972 and The Exorcist in 1974.
Roizman brought a sense of time and place the project. He had lived in Brooklyn for years, and had ridden the subway countless times. Roizman had also filmed a memorable scene in The French Connection in a New York subway station.
Scherick and Sargent had planned to frame Pelham in 1:85:1 aspect ratio, which wasn't surprising since films produced in widescreen format tended to take place in settings with exterior vista backgrounds.
"I went to the station where we were going to shoot, rode trains, walked around the platforms and noticed that the dimensions of subway cars were almost a perfect match for the 2.4:1 anamorphic aspect ratio," Roizman says. "I instinctively felt anamorphic framing was right for this story."
Roizman recalls that the producer and director were both "incredulous" when he suggested shooting in anamorphic format. He explained his rationale, and suggested shooting side-by-side tests in anamorphic and 1.85:1 aspect ratios with trains packed with passengers coming into and going out of an underground subway station.
Roizman shot the test with a 100-speed color negative film in available light. Just to put that into perspective, he notes that he had often worked with a 25-speed color film. "Shooting with a 100-speed film was like a luxury to me," he says.
"It was no contest when we saw the tests projected the next day."
Roizman gained some flexibility by having the laboratory "pre-flash" the film 20 percent with an optical printer. That treatment of the negative enabled him to record details in the darkest shadows the way the human eye would see them.
"I also replaced bulbs in tunnels with 500-watt photoflood lights," he says. "They were so bright that I was a little worried about having streaks of light on the lenses. We sprayed all of the bulbs with brown Streaks 'N Tips to avoid hot spots."
There were no storyboards. Sargent discussed blocking for scenes with Roizman at the beginning of each work day. They generally covered the action with one or two cameras on dollies that tracked, panned and tilted with the actors.
"Joe was right by my side, making decisions while we were shooting," Roizman says. "We were mainly shooting in available light with a little modeling when necessary. We had the advantage of seeing film dailies together along with Edgar and my crew."
Flash forward 35 years: Schliessler began his career shooting documentaries, music videos and commercials before he ventured into narrative filmmaking during the early 1980s. Schliessler had previously collaborated with director Tony Scott during the production of various commercials. This was their first narrative film project.
"Tony initially considered using digital cameras," Schliessler says. "We shot a side-by-side test comparing various digital cameras and 35 mm film, and timed the images in D.I. It was clear film was superior in both the look and the flexibility it offers in the most demanding lighting situations. It wasn't part of the test, but I believe I can shoot faster with film cameras because I am not attached to a computer by cables, and I know exactly what different films stocks will do, including the latitude they offer."
Schliessler suggested following the trail that Roizman had blazed by shooting in anamorphic format, but Scott opted for Super 35, primarily because he wanted to use spherical Panavision Primo 10:1 and 11:1 zoom and T5.6 lenses.
During preproduction, Schliessler watched the original film a number of times to get a sense of why the cinematic experience was so compelling.
"We had the advantage of shooting with faster lenses and (KODAK VISION3 500T) 5219 film, which has amazing latitude," he says. "It sees details in the brightest highlights and darkest shadows the way the human eye does. Tony wanted to shoot with four cameras, so we could cover scenes from different angles, including close-ups. All the spaces were pretty small. Chris Seagers (production designer) helped me immensely by building practical lights into the sets. It was his idea to use fluorescent practicals with the right color tube lights on the train. The ceiling on the train was 10 feet high.
"We wanted a feeling of the light being right on top of them, so I put a key light overhead. When we came in tight, I had a hot toplight right above people's heads that falls off in the lower part of the frame. We were about a stop and a half overexposed at the top of the frame, and around two stops underexposed at the bottom."
Scott got up early each morning and drew storyboards for that day's scenes right on the pages of the script. He gave everyone copies and described his intentions. One camera was usually on a 360-degree dolly track that went around the set. The other cameras were usually static but were on dollies so quick, little moves could be made.
Schliessler estimates that some 90 percent of the shots were made with one set up using top and bottom light. Occasionally, he used a small Kino Flo tube to reflect light onto a character's face and into their eyes.
Scott was in a video village, speaking directly to the camera operators and first assistants through ears phones, giving directions, for movement, composition and focus.
Technicolor processed the negative, and Company 3 provided HD dailies. However, Schliessler visited the lab after shooting every day to look at the negative on the scanner to make sure shots made from different camera angles were seamless matches.
"There were times when I had to compromise because we were shooting from different angles," he says. "I would tell myself, if necessary, we could fix it in D.I., but I always tried to get the best negative possible. Some of the more intense moments were shot at both normal speed and at six frames per second to get a strobing effect."
The moral of this story: Schliessler and Roizman agree that every great or good movie begins with the story, the vision of the director and the performances of the cast. Cinematographers and their crews can contribute with artful lighting, composition, camera placement and other nuances of the visual grammar, but it's not about technology. It's about their vision for visual storytelling and its execution.

If you have arthritis, you may think you shouldn't exercise because it could make your condition worse.
But health care providers and physical therapists claim that people with arthritis can improve their health and fitness through exercise, without damaging their joints, according to the Arthritis Foundation.
A. Exercise can help you keep your joints moving and keep the muscles around your joints strong. It can also keep your bone and cartilage tissue strong and healthy, and improve your ability to do daily activities. Along with medicine and rest, regular exercise of your joints — when they aren't swollen — can help keep them in working order so you can continue participating in your daily activities. It also may help prevent more joint damage.
A. If you don't exercise, your joints can become even more stiff and painful. If you have arthritis, it's important to keep your muscles as strong as possible. The stronger the muscles and tissue around your joints, the better they'll be able to support and protect your joints. This includes even those weak and damaged from arthritis. If you don't exercise, your muscles become smaller and weaker and your bones become more brittle and prone to fracture. Exercise helps keep your joints as flexible as possible. This allows you to continue your daily tasks by yourself as much as possible.
A. The program that's best for you depends on the type of arthritis you have. It also depends on which joints are affected, and how severe your arthritis is. Your health care provider, physical therapist, or rehabilitation specialist can help decide the best exercise program for you. People with arthritis often benefit from range-of-motion, strengthening, and endurance exercises.
Range-of-motion exercises reduce stiffness and help keep your joints flexible. Controlled stretching promotes a normal range of motion, or the amount your joints can be moved in certain directions. Strengthening exercises help maintain or increase muscle strength. Endurance exercises strengthen your heart. They give you more energy so you can exercise or be physically active longer without tiring as quickly. Walking, exercising in water, and riding a stationary bicycle are among the most useful endurance exercises for people with arthritis.
If you haven't been exercising regularly or you have pain, stiffness, or weakness that interrupts your daily activities, get your health care provider's approval. Then start your exercise program with flexibility and strengthening exercises only.

They basically kept the specifics of Rukia's bankai under wraps, which means she'll be using it again in a later battle, fully detailing it's abilities, only to have to countered & knowing Kubo, she'll lose an arm like 3496 others have in the course of the manga. Overall though? Shit looked impressive and As Nodt got the fucking respect he deserved.

Wanted to buy another pair
"I bought these boots last year and I have been browsing around DSW for another chic pair of boots for the fall/winter and it returned me right back these; however my size is sold out :( this is a classic pair of boots that will never go out of style--simple but yet chic and very comfortable; still receiving compliments to this day :)"

Very stylish boots!
"Bought these boots for my mom because she wanted something simple, comfortable, yet pretty! They slouch a bit at the ankle but the faux leather is soft so kind of expected, still I think they look really classy! The gold colored hardware looks sharp!"

great detailing
"So these boots are beautiful. The metal detailing is actually metal for one thing, not that plastic stuff that most companies try to pass off as "metal." The heel box is a little stiff but wore them only once and it loosened up. The fabric on the inside is very pretty and comfortable. Made it through 8-10 hour day walking first time out and my feet never hurt. They do slouch a little around the ankle which is unfortunate as they look more sturdy in the picture but the leather is soft. Don't think it takes away from the look but worth mentioning if you want a stiffer boot because you will be disappointed. This is the only reason I gave a 4 instead of a 5."

"The fit of the boot was fine and the comfort was alright, but take heed on the other reviewers' warning regarding the slouchiness. I thought I might be the exception since I've never had this problem with any other boot, but there was a definite slouch of the material around the ankle which, for me, made an initially classy looking boot appear... well, sloppy. I shall be returning for an exchange. It just didn't hold up, aesthetically."

RE: The last time we met, you said that when people hug Tracy and say, "You're so strong," or they give you the sad face, you roll your eyes, understandably. So what do you think are the right things to say to someone going through a difficult time?
MJF: The cue should be taken from what the person is radiating. So for example, I had this conversation with somebody who said to me that her husband had Parkinson's and was in denial. And I said, "What do you mean he's in denial?" And she said, "He still insists on golfing and hiking and swimming." And I said, "That's not denial — that's life. That's just great. It's not about what you think it should be. It's about what he is experiencing." So if you go up to someone and say, "How are you? Are you OK?" I mean, that tells me I'm supposed to not be OK. Just ask me if I'm OK, I'll tell you I'm OK...and take my word for it. Or I'll tell you I'm not OK...and then be prepared to reap what you've sown by asking me the question. So what I say about Tracy is this: Tracy's big challenge is not having a Parkinson's patient for a husband. It's having me for a husband. I happen to be a Parkinson's patient. That's what I say to people: Whatever the situation, just take it for what it is. You don't have to make it worse or better than it is. It just is what it is. Always deal with the honesty, the truth of what something is, and then you've got all kinds of choices.
I'm not fearful of my condition or my future — but if someone is looking in my eyes for fear, then they see their own fear reflected back at them. They're saying, "I'm OK, but you're kind of damaged in some way."
RE: But some would say you're not OK. How would you reply?
MJF: It's like, I'm all right. Don't worry about me.

Should you share the Diagnosis of Parkinson's?
You know your family and friends. Some don't care what your spouse,SO, parent, friend has wrong with them, they just treat them as they always would - like a person. Others will start to cry, tell you how sorry they are and treat the person with PD like they're dying. Well we're all dying. LIFE is PROGRESSIVE so of course Parkinson's is progressive. So be careful who you tell if you want them to continue to be a part of your life.
What you as caregiver can do is make sure your loved one gets full benefit of the available meds, best movement disorder specialists and so on and can continue to live as they choose to live, not buy a "hoverround" and park in front of the TV and "eat worms" all day. If this is done your person with Parksinson's will appear normal most of the time. Yes we have med crashes and they are not pretty but they are TEMPORARY.
ENCOURAGE EXERCISE. DON'T insist on a cane. If they have balance problems get them to balance therapy and get the meds adjusted. Be sure to have them tested for osteoporosis and go on meds if needed. This is another problem many many PWP have that is totally treatable but can be deadly.
With today's doctors your loved one can be doing just as he is doing in ten and even 20 years - playing golf and tennis and taking walks and enjoying life.
You deal with each problem that arises as it arises. You DON'T LOOK FOR PROBLEMS that might NEVER HAPPEN.
For example everyone associates PD (Parkinson't disease) with tremor. Well many of us have almost no tremor at all and never will. They worry about dimentia. Oh yes this can happen and there are many things that can be done to deal with it. Your goal is to help them get the best out of life, realize that there are so many things so much worse than PD and DO NOT think they are in denial when they continue to do the things they love to do. This is not denial, this is the life most people with PD can continue to do if they maximize their health, exercise and stay on top of the non PD problems people with PD generally have.
Health problems people with Parkinson's are likely to have that are treatable.
Vitamin and mineral deficiencies and constipation. This go together because if your food is not adequately tumbled int he intestines you won't absorb the nutrients you need. What do you do? First you eat a high fibre diet, refried beans, psyllium (Konsyl brand or equivalent is the best I've found), take something to keep your intestines working properly like milk of magnesia tablets which my GI specialist recommended, get regular testing for B12, folic acid, calcium, vitamin D and other things also.
clots - people with Parkinson's must stay active because clots are common in sedentary so make sure your person with PD exercises regularly and keep s moving. If they can't, the meds probably aren't right because sinemet alwsys helps a person who really has Parkinson's. The dopamine agonists do NOT always help although they do help some but be very careful with them. They have serious side effects, both mental and physical. (I fainted 20 or 30 times a day and slept about 20 hours a day on requip and mirapex is in the same category)
Blood pressure fluctuations - Parkinson's medications affect blood pressure and so does Parkinson's so check it standing, sitting and lying down, before you eat and after you eat and at night. There are short acting blood pressure reducers and all they need to do to get their blood pressure to rise is drink a glass of water and wait about 5 minutes or so. So keep plenty of water around no matter what the activity.
Do NOT assume they will become an invalid. Many people with PD do not. In addition to Michael J Fox, read about Janet Reno, another famous person with PD. She's doing really well also.
Depression and anxiety. Dopamine agonists like requip and mirapex can cause anxiety and when coming off them, cause horrendous anxiety so just be aware. Dopamine alleviates anxiety in some people with Parkinson's so be sure it is at the correct levels before you add other anti anxiety drugs.
Exercise also reduces anxiety - another reason to KEEP MOVING.
It's been said that we will all get Parkinson's if we live long enough. Your goal is to make sure the meds, nutrition, exercise, keep the annoying symptoms gone as long as possible.
DO NOT DELAY GOING ON SINEMET. This is dopamine replacement for a person who need dopamine. Dopamine is a natural chemical the body should produce and people with Parkinson's do not produce enough of it so like a diabetic who needs insulin, it has to be supplemented. People with Parkinson's live a lot longer and better if they begin taking the NECESSARY dosage as soon as symptoms become annoying or impact their lifestyle. Dopamine does NOT cause Parkinson's to accelerate. My levels have not gone up in four years and in fact have gone down as I maximized my health. Overdose is bad but underdose can actually kill you if your swallowing is so bad you inhale fluids as you sleep.
Eat well and maintain an optimum weight. Good nutrition is critical and timing eating so it doesn't interfere with meds is also critical.
Check out deep brain stimulation. If sinemet really helps your loved one then so will deep brain stimulation if they are a good candidate. Yes it can be done if your PWP has some dimentia but only certain really skilled teams will do it like University of Florida at Gainesville and Dr. Okun is part of that team on the Ask The Doctor on here.
So cheer up and LIVE your life and let them live theirs. Believe it or not the caregiver, if of the same gemera; age, usually dies before the person you are caring for so TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF and do the things you love to do also. Parkinson's is VERY annoying but being hit by a truck is a lot worse.

NCFOM II: Jagr Revisited
Robin Brownlee
May 01 2009 12:21AM
So, Jaromir Jagr could see himself in Edmonton Oilers colours, could he? I bet he could, as long as there's lots of green to go along with the copper and blue he suddenly seems to be fond of.
After sounding thoroughly disinterested a few months ago about overtures made by president of hockey operations Kevin Lowe, Jagr has the hearts of some Oilers fans all a-titter now that's he's apparently cozied up to the idea of all that green, ahem, I mean copper and blue.
Thursday at the IIHF World Championships, Jagr was quoted in the National Post as saying: "That was really exciting when I heard Edmonton pushed really hard to get me, I really appreciate it.
"I want to thank those guys (in Edmonton). And, if I ever got there (back in the NHL), they would be my No. 1 pick because they showed me the interest first. I never forget that. I respect that and they would be my first pick."
Really? Is that so? Is that right? It seems to me Jagr's flip-flop on interest by the Oilers is equalled only by the KHL's reversal of financial fortune. Wasn't it just a few months ago Jagr shrugged off Edmonton?
He said: "Yes such an opportunity really existed. The teams had discussed how that could be fulfilled. But it did not depend on me. Should Omsk ask me to join Edmonton, I'd do that, but that was not something I desired myself."
Now, apparently, he does.
Sign the papers, old man
Already 37 and several years removed from his prime, Jagr still has one year remaining on his contract with Omsk of the KHL and indicated he intends, at least for now, to honour it.
That would mean Mario Junior would be nearing his 39th birthday by the time he signs for a stack of cash, I mean pulls on a jersey, with the Oilers. What would it take to get Jagr? One season at $6 million, $7 million?
I wrote back on March 10 that I think pursuing Jagr and trying to turn back the hands of time is a waste of money and effort for the Oilers, and I don't feel any different about it today. The reasons remains the same.
What, there won't be a player available as a UFA this summer for $6 million who's got more in the tank and can be a part of the future of organization for more than a year? Jagr, in what looks to me like a money grab and nothing more, is GM Steve Tambellini's best option? I think not.
Bad arguments
1. Even if Jagr isn't the player he used to be, he'd be worth that stack of dough because, well, he'd do so much for the image of Edmonton as a destination for unrestricted free agents. We have, after all, been shunned often and by many. You can't put a price on esteem.
Well, no. Putting together a team capable of competing for a Stanley Cup would do far more in terms of attracting UFAs -- welcome to the Motor City Marian Hossa -- than paying sucker money to a once-great player a decade past his prime. Works OK in Detroit, no?
2. So what if Jagr only has 27 points at Christmas? The young players on the roster need a mentor and Jagr would be great. He's a leader of young men and that's what's been lacking around here. Think about the kids. How else are Sam Gagner and Andrew Cogliano supposed to develop?
I don't know, how did Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane manage without a $7-million nanny wearing a jock in Chicago? Who did Rick Nash learn from in Columbus, Jody Shelley? Alex Ovechkin figured it out in Washington without having Father Time on the wing.
3. Still, even if Jagr was in it only for the money and it turned out he wasn't even a legitimate top-six forward any more, it would be really cool to bring him in just to say we did.
No. Jagr's mullet in the 1990s was cool. Winning is cool. Looking ahead instead of back over your shoulder is cool. Having a long-term plan and taking some lumps in the short-term to do it right and make it work is cool. I don't think Jagr fits into that.
Somebody might pay Jagr's price, but it shouldn't be the Oilers.

@ Robin Brownlee: Agreed.

Guys: Out of curiosity, I looked at the statistics the eight players ahead of Jagr in career scoring put up in the seasons in which they played at age 38. There's quite a range. PLAYER GP G A PTS Gretzky 70 9 53 62 Messier 59 13 35 48 Howe 70 29 46 75 Francis 82 15 50 65 Dionne 37 7 16 23 Yzerman 16 2 6 8 Lemieux 10 1 8 9 Sakic 44 13 27 40

Left My Hair Soft, Light, And BouncyJust recently I began hearing about clarifying shampoos. I never thought I needed one but read that using Chi oil or products with cyclomethicone or dimethicone coat the hair and require a clarifying shampoo to remove these cones and buildup. I was SO pleased with the Kenra Sulfate Free Platinum shampoo that I decided to try this.
It smells like grapefruit and some other lovely, unidentifiable fragrance. It lathers a bit but not a ridiculous amount which I prefer. I have very long and thick hair and only needed about a capful. It really did its job. When I came out from under the dryer my hair was so light and bouncy. I could tell that there were no residues left and the color of my hair was more brilliant and shiny. Kenra is truly a fine product.

There's A Reason Why Kenra Is So PopularI have seriously processed hair; it's naturally dark, I took it platinum, then had some fun with rock star colors, then went back platinum, and now rock a dimensional blonde. In short, my hair is often very, very angry with me. On top of that, while it's pretty thick, it's also very fine. As a result, I'm prone to somewhat greasy hair. I only wash a couple times a week, in order to keep the ends happy, but that means it takes some power to get the grime and styling products out of my less damaged roots.
My best friend works at a Kenra salon, and knowing all this, introduced me to the Clarifying Shampoo. There's a reason she's the only person allowed to touch my hair.
I use the Clarifying Shampoo in concert with the Redken Blonde Glam line. I wash with the Kenra to strip out all the crap, then with the Redken shampoo, and condition with Redken for about 5 minutes. I have the occasional angry hair day, but for the most part, it's soft, manageable, has plenty of volume, and doesn't get dirty very quickly.
Kenra Clarifying Shampoo is not sulfate free, so it lathers well, but contains a different kind of sulfate than most other clarifying shampoos. It also uses grapefruit extracts as one of the active ingredients, which help get hair really clean, while not completely stripping it of everything it needs. It's by far the best, most gentle while still being effective clarifying shampoo I've ever used.
Plus, on top of everything else, the packaging design is fantastic. This is definitely a bottle you can leave out in your shower or on your counter and not worry about how it looks. This goes for the entire Kenra line. Everything has clean, simple lines, a cool, slick silver color, and allows easy access to the product.

The new miners memorial is nearing completion and the unveiling will take place on Nov. 22 at 1 p.m. This monument is at the Huntington cemetery adjacent to the Crandall Canyon Miners memorial.
Boyd Wilson had the idea and vision that he would like to see all the miners who lived in Huntington or died in a Huntington Canyon mine honored.
He welcomes everyone to come to the event on Friday to see the new stone and to remember those who have died in the mining industry from the town of Huntington/Lawrence. He especially encourages those who have family members or those who knew the fallen miners.
Patrick Braun has carved the names in the granite for the new monument. Huntington also has plans in the near future to add a veteran's memorial at the cemetery.
Mayor Hilary Gordon has been very supportive of the miners project and sees the need to remember those who have given their lives so the lights can stay on in our country.
Everyone is welcome to come to the unveiling ceremony. There will be refreshments served along with a short program.

SLCL's Westfall Series Presents Award-Winning Historian Simon Winchester
Wed, 10/02/2013 (All day)
The St. Louis County Library Foundation's 'Buzz' Westfall Favorite Author Series is pleased to present acclaimed historian Simon Winchester for a discussion and signing of his book "The Men Who United the States: America's Explorers, Inventors, Eccentrics, and Mavericks, and the Creation of One Nation, Indivisible."
The event will take place at Library Headquarters (1640 S. Lindbergh Blvd.) on Wednesday, October 16 at 7:00 p.m. The program is free and open to the public. Books will be available for purchase at the event from Left Bank Books.
The event is sponsored by Maryville University.
Simon Winchester, the acclaimed New York Times bestselling author of "Atlantic" and "The Professor and the Madman," delivers his first book about America: a fascinating popular history that illuminates the men who toiled fearlessly to discover, connect, and bond the citizenry and geography of the U.S.A. from its beginnings.
How did America become "one nation, indivisible"? What unified the disparate states into the modern country we recognize today? To answer these questions, Winchester follows in the footsteps of America's most essential explorers, thinkers, and innovators, such as Lewis and Clark, the builders of the first transcontinental telegraph, and the civil engineer behind the Interstate Highway System. He treks vast swaths of territory, from Pittsburgh to Portland, Seattle to Anchorage, introducing the fascinating people who played a pivotal role in creating today's United States.
Throughout, he ponders whether the historic work of uniting the States has succeeded. "The Men Who United the States" is a fresh look at the way in which the most powerful nation on earth came together.
Simon Winchester is the acclaimed author of many books, including "The Professor and the Madman," "Atlantic," "The Man Who Loved China" and "Krakatoa," all of which were New York Times bestsellers. In 2006 Mr. Winchester was made an officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) by Her Majesty the Queen.
The program with Simon Winchester is a St. Louis County Library 'Buzz' Westfall Favorite Author Series presentation. The Westfall series features authors of politics, current issues, history, and sports. The series is co-sponsored by Jack Dubinsky and Sons; McMahon Berger; Sachs Properties; Brown Smith Wallace LLC; Royal Banks of Missouri; St. Louis Business Journal; Midwest Library Service; The Booksource; Ivey-Selkirk Auctioneers; S.M. Wilson & Co.; and Stifel, Nicolaus.
