TomTom has launched a universal hands-free car kit that preps up and charges your iPhone or smartphone.
Nowadays smartphones have enough wit to be used as worthy GPS systems, but with insecure mounting options, few people choose to take advantage of the helpful feature. At the risk of cannibalising their GPS line, TomTom has released a helpful car kit that will securely mount your phone so you can take advantage of its GPS repertoire.
TomTom is offering the kit in two versions: one specifically for iPhones, and another that caters to microUSB devices, such as Android and Windows Phone smartphones.
The hands free car kit features an advanced noise and echo cancellation system, and also offers the option of adding an extendable microphone to the sun visor.
"The new Car Kit has been designed for safety and convenience," said Chris Kearney, VP APAC at TomTom. "With fantastic audio quality and new mounting options, we are making it easier and safer for drivers to make calls and use navigation applications on the move. With advanced new features, our aim is to help drivers keep their hands on the wheel and their eyes on the road."
Specs (according to the press kit): · Sound boost - An in-built 2 watt speaker means that drivers can hear hands-free calls and navigation instructions loud and clear.· Extendable microphone - The microphone can be brought closer to the driver for clearer conversations.· Noise and echo cancellation - Cancels out background noise so drivers can have even clearer conversations. · Dual phone connection - Connects two phones simultaneously.· Fast charging - Fast charges the driver's phone on the go. · Dual mounting system - Drivers can choose to mount their device on the dashboard or the windscreen. It includes a self-adhesive disc that allows use of the suction mount on the dash or center console. · Voice menu and spoken instructions - Drivers can connect their phone easily using the voice menu and spoken instructions. · Easy-reach answer and reject buttons - Answer and reject calls, even when the phone isn't mounted

The first book in Richelle Mead's brand-new teen fiction series - set in the same world as Vampire Academy.
When alchemist Sydney is ordered into hiding to protect the life of Moroi princess Jill Dragomir, the last place she expects to be sent is a human private school in Palm Springs, California. But at their new school, the drama is only just beginning.
Populated with new faces as well as familiar ones, Bloodlines explores all the friendship, romance, battles and betrayals that made the #1 New York Times best-selling Vampire Academy series so addictive - this time in a part-vampire, part-human setting where the stakes are even higher and everyone's out for blood.
©2011 Richelle Mead (P)2011 Penguin Audio
Like many of you probably, Audible has become my best friend. I'm a huge fan of paranormal fantasies and mysteries.
"VA fans will be thrilled!"
For those who haven't yet read the Vampire Academy series, I suggest you go read them and get some background information before you read Bloodlines. If not, this book will only be confusing and make no sense at all. As for VA fans,you will love this book!
This book started right off where Last Sacrifice left off. The background,the characters are basically the same, only it was told from Sydney's perspective instead of Rose's.
Sydney was the kind of obedient girl who has been told what to do all her life. The alchemists were taught that all Vampires and Dhampires alike are evil,soulless dark creatures. So when Sydney helped former criminal Rose and Dimitri escape,she had made the biggest mistake an alchemist could ever make. In order to redeem herself,she can't afford to screw up her latest assignment,that is to take care of Vasilisa's sister, Jill Dragomir. Jill needs to go into hiding because she is the key to overthrowing Vasilisa's thrown. For some unknown reason, Abe insisted Adrian to be on this "vacation" for who knows how long. Palm Springs is supposed to be a safe hideout for all of them, when in fact, the real danger awaits them there.
Unlike Rose who is filled with so much passion and energy, Sydney was more of a docile person. She always took orders without questioning and always swallow the blame for what she hadn't done. Surprisingly, I love her just as much as I love Rose.
For me, the highlights of this book are always the talks with Adrian Ivashkov. He was so humorous and sarcastic that I literally burst out laughing whenever he opened his mouth. I never thought I could like him more than Dimitri before I read Bloodlines.
Also unlike in the first VA novel when Rose and Dimitri simply get it on with, the romance in this series was slow. Real slow in fact. Some people may be bothered by this, but not me. When I reached the end of the book, I saw so much potential and promise in this series. I can't wait to read the second book,The Golden Lily.
I was first introduced to audiobooks during a summer when I decided to drive a truck in order to pay for college. Listening to books all day, every day was the only thing that made that job bearable.
"Definitely not Vampire Academy"
I liked this book a lot, but it's not quite as good as Vampire Academy. Sydney doesn't quite match Rose as a lead character and the Alchemists aren't as interesting as the Guardians. On the bright side, Adrian shines as usual and the story really is quite fun.
Rating Emily Shaffer's performance in this title is extremely difficult. She did an excellent job telling the story and portraying the characters, but I do not think she should have narrated this book. This is not a continuation of Vampire Academy, but a completely new series, and it deserved a new reader. Sydney should have been given her own voice instead of being left with the voice of Rose Hathaway.
Short, Simple, No Spoilers
"Not up to Par"
The reviews for this book were excellent. I wasn't impressed, but it was a worthwhile listen. I didn't feel the love story and found the main character mildly irritating. I didn't read Vampire Academy, so maybe I'm at a loss. This book doesn't stand on it's own, but it's mildly redeemable.
Hello there, I listen at least 8 hours a day. If you would like me to review your book please send me a copy. Warning I review FAIRLY!
"A little bit of OCD and a little bit of insanity!"
As a 33 year old male you would think this book would be way down my list, however as always Richelle Mead pulls you in quickly and holds you there. This is a branch off from the Vampire Academy series, and you will see your favorites but the focus is no longer on Rose.
The Main is well written and her back story is revealed at a pace that is just right, her slow change in thought is very much like real life. There is no sudden jump from I am a coward to I am a hero. Everything is paced and balanced perfectly! Action,mystery,romance all tied up in a nice little bundle.
If you are looking for the almost nonstop action from Vampire Academy you wont find it here, however if you want to know more about the Alchemist and Vampires as well as life OUTSIDE court and school, give this book a read.
A warning, each book in this series does end with a lot left open, until it is all closed up in book 6, so if this is not you sort of thing avoid this book.
"Prefect mix"
How we got to know the supporting characters from the last books of VA much better, their motives, their thoughts and reactions...
once i've read the next book in this series i think i might need to go back and read VA again to enjoy my knew knowledge to the fullest
Sydney, reluctant to act as ever, but now we are learning why this is...
Emily performed so stellar that i am unable to find one performance that stood out simply because it all was so awesome
there was a lull in the middle, but it was appropiate and i didn't mind, but it did mean i wouldn't hear it all in one sitting...
also 12½ hours is a long time :)
be careful with this Narrator....
she performes so well i've actually considered buying other books merely to hear more of her voice
Books give a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and life to everything. - Plato
"Great spin off from Vampire Academy"
This is a great series full of suspense, drama, danger, intrigue, and romance! I really enjoyed reading all the books in this series. This is a great start to the series that is a spin off from Vampire Academy.
"Overall it was ok but I'm sure as with VA the deeper into the the story the better..."
As said in heading "Overall it was ok but I'm sure as with VA the deeper into the the story the better..."
Performance was spot on at times and other it was meh:/.
Story pace dragged on until the last hour...but VA series was the same for me till the second book so I am definitely going to check it out.
Thanks for reading...happy listening😎!
Just a book fool.
"Nothing Happens."
It was not something I felt the need to abandon but I am not quite sure what held me on but whatever it was it was just barley enough. I dont think anyone I know would love this book.
If they read Vampire Academy I would tell them to try it but I would warn them not to except anything fantastic.
Yes she is whinny.
Honestly all of them except Adrian
"Loved the Characters Especially the Heroine!"
If any of you were like me, you did not care too much for Rose as a brazen heroine. I was really excited with Richelle Mead's new series, because I liked the overall layout of the world she created of Moroi vamps and damphirs and all. With this new series, we are introduced to a whole new vision into the world through the eyes of the alchemists, the fearful guardians between the world of the vamps and that of the humans. I loved how responsible and smart this heroine is! She doesn't have to beat everyone up to take charge of situations, and she is an excellent role model for all young girls! The only thing I didn't care for in this book was the lack of romance between Adrian. I understood it with all the heartache brought on by his breakup with Rose not to mention the fact that she seriously used him to further her own gains in the VA series, but that is neither here nor there. Bloodlines is an excellent spin off! I suggest everyone listen or read it!
I am too busy to read, but I love reading! Audible makes it easy to listen to books while I am at work or on my way to School!
"Love anything by Richelle Mead!"
Perfect beginning to another series. Great Characters and story line. I love Richelle Meads. books

You know Erick I just assumed we could include pics in our discussion sessions? When I created the group I, (of course) up loaded my pic not thinking that it is main "page" of discussions, not thinking it couldn't be done! It would be very nice to have that opportunity as it would be another area members could share their pics of their luv'd pets. Instead of being limitted to just in their profiles. It could possibly link more people by their pets... just a thought?
Erick, Thanks for the tags. It's very kind of you.

Green Day finally set to tour behind new albums
Pop-punk outfit Green Day has rescheduled a slew of postponed winter dates behind the recently released album "Tre!," the final set in the "Uno!, Dos!, Tre!" trilogy.
The band, comprised of singer/guitarist Billie Joe Armstrong, bassist Mike Dirnt and drummer Tre Cool, will return to the road for a March 28 performance in Chicago. The new round of dates are rescheduled from a previously postponed itinerary stemming from Armstrong's stint in rehab.
The current outing includes 11 rescheduled concerts, and more West Coast shows will be announced in the coming weeks.
"We want to thank everyone for hanging in with us for the last few months," Green Day said in a press release. "We are very excited to hit the road and see all of you again, though we regret having to cancel more shows."
A list of those rescheduled dates is below.
Tickets for the postponed shows will be honored at the rescheduled dates, while fans holding tickets to canceled concerts are directed to the point of purchase for refunds.
Armstrong also made a statement, thanking his fans for their support in recent months.
"I'm getting better everyday. So now, without further ado, the show must go on. Our passion has only grown stronger."
The Grammy-winning band unleashed "Tre!" in December, one month earlier than originally expected. The album completes the trilogy, which started with the late September release of "Uno!" and November's "Dos!"

Best ShampooI was wondering how a non suds shampoo would work, but after using this shampoo I can say this shampoo is the best shampoo I've ever used, it may my hair so soft and tangle free. At times I didn't even use conditioner afterwards.Jun 13, 2013Tracey B.HAIR TYPEDark Brown / Curly Hair

Wonderful!I have been using this cleansing cream for around a week and love it. I had never tried a sudless shampoo and was skeptical. This product leaves my hair silky smooth and frizz free!! Using regular shampoo sometimes leaves my hair a tangled mess, this was not the case with this product. I could not stop running my hands through my hair. I used this product with the Hair Rules leave in conditioner. My hair came out shiny, bouncy, and felt weightless. I will be recommending this product to all my friends! Do your hair a favor and give it a try!!

Good StuffLike the conditioner this product is like a heavy lotion but with a water base. I have been using this product sparingly for a month, meaning I don't wash my hair on a daily basis because that's too often for my hair type. However, when I have used it, I was pleased. It smells good and is a great way to get my hair ready for deep conditioning. I have a lot of curly, fine hair that is usually mistaken for thick and coarse. My hair is not chemically treated. My hair is a product of Black, Cherokee American Indian, Hatian, French & Spanish.Mar 10, 2011Juanita R. / ChicagoHAIR TYPEDark Brown / Curly Hair / Fine or Thin Hair

Love ItI love this shampoo, it works so well on my relaxed hair. I have tried the wen and hair one and they both gave me a tangle mess, so i was a bit nervous trying this, espercially on my relaxed hair, but as i put it on my hair it instantly made it so soft, seriously. I was amazed. It feels like a co-wash, but this shampoo cleans the hair like a regular shampoo. I am not the co-washing type, but I am definetly sold on this. oh and the best part is you don't have to use alot just a palm amount or less, message it in the hair rinse or wait for 5 min for deep cleansing. This is the best shampoo for dried, fried hair (which is my hair). LOVE IT.May 19, 2010AngelHAIR TYPEAfrican American / Relaxed Hair

Good 1st ExperienceI just used the Hair Rules No Suds Shampoo and their Conditioner for the 1st time yesterday. I have curly/kinky thick shoulder length hair. I am about 10 months into transitioning from a relaxer back to my naturally curly hair. I've read a lot of books on natural hair care, as well as read the reviews of Hair Rules Products online and watched some of the videos on YouTube, and figured I give Hair Rules a try. I purchased the Hair Rules Travel pack (which comes with 5 of the products to try, I wanted to try the whole line to see its effect on my hair). I have never used a "no suds" shampoo before, so it was a really different experience. Since you get no suds at all, at first you think your hair will not be cleaned properly. But after using the product, my hair and scalp were very clean. I honestly found no difference in terms of how clean my hair felt (compared to using my regular shampoo). The product has a nice fragrance, not too strong or overpowering, but clean and subtle. After using both the shampoo and conditioner my hair was clean, soft and manageable, (it did NOT leave my hair feeling stripped of moisture, dry, or brittle). Overall I liked this product and would purchase it again, as it seems to work well on my hair, but I will try some other brands first (like Miss Jessie's) before purchasing. I may even go to the Hair Rules salon in The City, to experience their hair care products and expertise first hand.Mar 2, 2010Christie / Folica.com

The Edmonton Oilers used to feast on the Minnesota North Stars. Over 14 seasons the Oilers were 27-7-11, but once they dropped the North, relocated to Dallas for the 1993/1994 season and became the Stars, they have owned the Oilers.
The Stars are 54-13-4-2 v. the Oilers since moving to Dallas. If you add in the playoffs, 23-10, they are a ridiculous 77-23-4-2 all-time against Edmonton. That is not typo.
Nine different Oiler head coaches have witnessed their team get dominated by the Stars over the past 18 1/3 seasons, so Ralph Krueger will be in tough to try and change this one-sided series.
The Oilers are the only western conference team that Glen Gulutzan, 5-0, has yet to lose against, and he'll try to continue that streak tonight.
The Stars have kept their supremacy over the Oilers through five different head coaches and numerous players. From Mike Modano, Ed Belfour and Sergei Zubov to today's group of Jamie Benn and Kari Lehtonen it doesn't seem to matter who plays for Dallas the Stars usually win.
The Stars enter Rexall on a three-game winning streak, and Benn is starting to heat up with four goals in those three victories. Jaromir Jagr scored his NHL-best 17th OT winner last Wednesday in Edmonton and after that game he said, "If you skate with them (Oilers) they will beat you, so you have to beat them along the boards."
Krueger should take that quote and show it to his players and then Steve Tambellini should also read it because it is clear how you beat the Oilers. Don't play run and gun with them. The Oilers have yet to figure out that they won't be able to carry the puck into the zone on every shift.
The Oilers are 3-for-23 on the powerplay since Shawn Horcoff broke his knuckle, and a big reason for that is their unwillingness to dump and chase the puck with the man advantage. They have continually turned the puck over at the blueline, because they won't chip and chase it.
If the Oilers are going to string together some wins during this five-game home stand they need to be willing to alter their game. They've only scored eight goals five-on-five so far this season, and unless that changes in the next quarter they could find themselves six or seven points out of the playoffs at the halfway mark of the season.
The Oilers need to start winning some one-on-one battles, and stop trying to play pretty, fancy hockey all the time. There is no doubt they have lots of skill in their top-two lines, but when you aren't producing highlight reel goals, you have to be able to produce some garbage ones, and so far this season the Oilers haven't shown the willingness to get their nose dirty.
That needs to start tonight if they hope to beat the Stars.
Eager-Vande Velde-Petrell
N. Schultz-J.Schultz
Chris Vande Velde wasn't at the morning skate, but he will play tonight and Ryan Smyth will take a seat in the pressbox for the first time as an Oiler since Ron Low made him a healthy scratch.
Smyth is a very emotional player and he loves the game, and he took the news very hard. He politely declined comment, but said he will speak tomorrow. It really doesn't matter what he says, because we should all understand that he isn't happy with the decision.
Kreuger isn't afraid to bench a player, rookie or veteran, and whether players like the decision or not, they will respect a coach who isn't afraid to make a tough decision. Krueger did hint that the schedule was a factor, and with the Oilers not playing again until Saturday giving Smyth the night off allows him five days rest between games.
I'd suggest it is way too early to write Smyth off. I'm amazed at how many people are suggesting he is finished as a player. Guys have slumps, players get off to slow starts, and while Smyth won't be the player he was ten years ago, it is way to premature to suggest he's no longer an NHLer.
- Jaromir Jagr is still a force in the NHL. He is 8th on the all-time points list with 1,653 and his work ethic is a major reason why. "I always felt when I was tired I should work a lot harder. I think tired is just in your mind. I'd rather feel strong and tired than rested and weak," Jagr told me when I asked about his training regime.
- If I was Steve Tambellini I'd look very hard at signing Jagr this summer. Scott Hartnell and Claude Giroux raved about what they learned from his last season and Jamie Benn has already said the same this year.
- I asked Jagr about being a mentor and what he tries to teach the young offensive stars that he plays with.
"There not many players, maybe Gretzky and Lemieux, who were born to be great players and didn't have to watch anyone else. I think you always have to learn and watch older players. Maybe they (Gretzky and Lemieux) did, but they were great at a young age. If you don't listen to anybody and just do it your way, you will find out that you might get it but probably too late in your career. That is why I try to help those guys. What I've learned during my hockey career, those little details, I can tell them right away so they can learn at 22 and not have to wait another ten or fifteen years."
Are you telling me Hall, Eberle, Nugent-Hopkins, Gagner, Hemsky, Paajarvi and Yakupov couldn't learn a few things from Jagr. I would seriously look at a one-year contract with Jagr.
- Ryan Whitney will also sit tonight, and it should come as no surprisine that he is frustrated. I don't understand why people call players whiners when they state they are frustrated and want to play. Do you think the player is happy about not playing? Talking about it doesn't make them a whiner. Far from it.
"I'm very frustrated. I want to play. We got outshot 40-14 and I'm not playing, so I think that shows where their thought on me is. I don't really know what to say. He (Krueger) did say he wants to talk to me today, so I'm going to ask him what it takes to get back in the lineup," Whitney said regarding his second straight game in the pressbox.
- "He doesn't care. He wants to win. Whatever he thinks the best lineup for him to win is, is the one he is going to play. When I got scratched the first time against Vancouver he said those are the six D that gives us the best chance to win. I don't think he cares who you are. I just need to play better when I get a chance," Whitney said honestly when asked about Krueger's willingness to bench veterans.
- Whitney sitting out two straight games will have many wondering how long he remains in Edmonton. It seems likely that he will get moved at some point and Whitney didn't avoid the question when he was asked if his future in Edmonton was solid. "I would have to say that right now it's not looking that way. They are paying me a lot of money and I'm not playing. I like it here a lot. I like the guys and I like playing here, but I don't think they necessarily like me right now. I'd like to play. I'm just frustrated. I will not ask for a trade and it's not my place to ask. If anything they'd be looking to do it. Why would they pay me this much to just not play," said a very candid Whitney.
- Before you get too concerned about Eberle's goal scoring woes keep in mind he only had three goals in the first 16 games last year. He had three goals on 34 shots for a 9.1SH%. This year he has three goals in 12 games, and he is confident that once he scores one they will come in bunches.
GAME DAY PREDICTION: The Stars domination over the Oilers continues with a 2-1 win.
OBVIOUS GAME DAY PREDICTION: The comment section regarding Smyth and Whitney will be more entertaining than the actual game.
NOT-SO-OBVIOUS GAME DAY PREDICTION: Last night Jaromir Jagr went to Strudwick's house for dinner. After sharing a few stories of their days in New York when Jagr was Strudwick's personal stick maker for six weeks (true story), they play NHL 13. They had a friendly wager on the game which resulted in a stunning Strudwick victory. In the post-game scrum Jagr honors his bet when asked about his game-winning goal.
"I learned that move from an old teammate of mine in New York. Jason Strudwick didn't score many goals, but he actually had really good hands. I used to watch him use that move in practice over and over, and I have to thank him for making me try it tonight."
Jagr's game winner didn't even come off his stick. He crossed centre and dumped the puck in. It bounced off the end boards into the low slot and ricocheted off Corey Potter's skate into the net. Jagr was completely straight-faced during his post-game scrum when he honoured his bet to mention Strudwick.

I really hope the media just takes the high road and doesn't ask the obvious question with the obvious answer from Smyth. Smyth is a vet of this city and I don't see the need to kick the guy while he is down.
The boys could lose 5-1 tonight and I will be happy if they (even once) dump the puck in on the power play and follow it up with a goal.

Good on Krueger for having the balls to do what the last 4 coaches on this team were unable to do. For too long the vets on this team have had way to much leeway and it has resulted in the downfall of this organzation over the past few years.
Whitney and Smyth are true warriors and I think the correct reaction from each of them is "what does it take for me to get better to get back into the lineup"?
I also think that it was the correct decision by Krueger-- Smyth has been putting his team down a man in critical situations for about a week or two now and a night in the press box to think things over won't hurt him.
As for Whitney, I think that his head and his body are at a disconnect right now as he always looks hesitant when opposing forwards gain the blue line.
If I was one of the callups or bubble players, I'd respect a coach who'd bench about $7 million in salary because they weren't performing to give me a chance. It also makes the other young guns work harder so it won't be them next time. This will pay off come April.
February 12 2013, 01:46PM
The Oilers weren't creating much offense 5v5 for most part of this season. Last game Krueger attempted to try something new and mix up the lines a little. That experiment didn't work, and it appears Krueger is going back to broken again.
If Krueger likes pairings instead of lines, like he has stated. Why hasn't he tried other pairing as well? Why would he come into the season with his mind set on the line ups before even looking over his players for that week and the first few games. It didn't take a hockey coach to see that the Oilers line up wasn't clicking and producing 5v5. I invision the Oilers suffering for another 10 games trying to fix this problem.
Not having an ideal core of NHL centres, I can't understand why Krueger didn't concentrate on the pairings of wings. Eberle and Hartikanen, Hall and Paajarvi, Hemsky and Yakupov(IMO) and then just alternate centres in between as is seen and called for. Fortune even tried to show him that with obvious injuries to his centres.
Smyth and Whitney pressboxing shouldn't be a surprise to anyone, including them. The quicker they can trade both of them the better. Whitney is clueless. He uses a shooting stat to try to justify why he thinks he should be in the line up, then right after he states he doesn't know what he needs to do to get in the line up. He appers lost and a lost cause.
Smyth's time has come. The man is too broken down, emotinally and physically. The only real concern now is his pouting and attitude in the locker room and around his teammates.
February 12 2013, 12:48PM
Will be happy when the Stars fisting us stops
I really hope the media just takes the high road and doesn't ask the obvious question with the obvious answer from Smyth. Smyth is a vet of this city and I don't see the need to kick the guy while he is down.
So when you like a player who don't want the media to ask him anything, but if YOU don't like him then you call the media soft for not asking him hard questions. Makes complete sense.
Blaming the media is lame. They ask questions, that is there job. Simple.

As fan it's annoying as crap to hear the samething by 15 different guys covering the team. We already no the answer, there is no story move along.
It was like Penner the year he quit drinking beer. Everyone that covered the Oilers had to ask him about it, then a week after we had our first CBC game. Penner was asked yet again. Just give it a break.
Ralph plays no favorites and that is good to see. He has Kona's i will give him that.
Smytty - take a break - watch and think and come back ticked off. You still have value, make this this fight of your life.
Whitney - I give you credit for not whining or demanding a trade although i see that happening. You have not been good enough, yeah it hurts, suck it up and do something about it. Drop the gloves and pound someone if you have to, i would think you can handle yourself.
GDP- Oilers finally break out and kick the stars 5-2.
February 12 2013, 01:09PM
As a former elite professional, Whitney must be devastated to be at this career low leading up to his 30th birthday - especially if he knows that he's already been working as hard as possible, and that his body is just giving up. Poor luck.
Sportsnet West shows the game as available in the West but Blacked Out in Edmonton......Do they lift the Blackout if its a sellout??
There is no blackout in Edmonton just out of the SNW region.
February 12 2013, 02:07PM
I know divisional trades are rare, but what would it take to bring Glencross back?
Would Calgary look at Whitney and Paajarvi, or better yet Whitney, a smaller prospect like Rajala or Omark, and a 2nd rounder?
In my opinion Glencross is the exact type of player this lineup is missing.
February 12 2013, 02:10PM

Mine too. Even centre ice game which I bought is blacked out. I'm in edmonton. Seems like an error. I am with bell sattelite. Gonna give them a call and sort this out!
GDP: Overtime 2-1 win for the Stars.
OGDP: Dubnyk stands on his head and RNH misses on a golden opportunity to win the game, because he hesitates too long when he accepts the pass.
NSOGDP: Fistric lines up Benn, who's charging into the Edmonton zone. Benn is stopped dead in his tracks by the hit, and crumples to the ice. Though it's just the wind that was knocked out of him, Rexall falls silent, unsure how to respond to an opponent's young star getting clobbered. The predictable scrum that follows gives fans enough recovery time to start cheering Fistric who draws an extra two minutes in penalties from the Stars retaliation.
February 12 2013, 04:23PM
i love 68 girls. They don't mind being owed one.
Oil win 4-2
Heres hoping our guys dump + chase as odds are we'll beat the Dallas D to the puck but more than anything lets pray its not the ZZZZZ-fest that occured in cowtown last nite....it should be unlawful to charge for that crap.
February 12 2013, 07:11PM
GCL: If you think GP is far away: I live in Hawaii and I get Kings and Anaheim games blacked out, even though I'm 3000 miles away.
Frustrating when I can't watch the Oilers play those teams.
February 12 2013, 08:07PM
Matt Kassian was put on waivers. Discuss.
Very interesting.
Why do we even bother playing the Stars? Just give them the two points and skip the game! They own the Oilers.... so frustrating!!
February 12 2013, 10:34PM
I hate Dallas.
I hope Smyth being a healthy scratch does not become a distraction to the team. Both Ryan's have struggled this season and I am pleased to see the coach make decisions that are best for the team and not cave to allowing a free ride to the veterans. I also hope both players find a way to get back in the game by improving their performance.
Whitney for Penner......with martinez, greene out lombardi may bite.
February 12 2013, 01:03PM
Might? He'd be all over that like a fat kid on a smartie
Too bad about Smyth, but the numbers don't lie. He was great early last season with 12 goals in 22 games and seemed to have a lot of jump being back home. But since, he has really struggled with just 8 goals in his last 72 games. And for a guy averaging around 19 minutes per game during that stretch, it just isn't good enough.
Add that to some bad penalties and giveaways, I don't think anyone should be surprised by the move.
February 12 2013, 01:10PM
I like that Krueger is staying consistent with his message RE: Whitney and Smyth. Both deserve a taste of the press box popcorn.
Jagr was much more likeable when he played in the Eastern Conference. Would sure like to see him play on a line with Gagner and Hemmer next year, though. IIRC Jason Strudwick has commented before on Jagr's qualities as a teammate. He was pretty funny in the 24/7 series too!
They win this one - some of the young guns get to finding the net tonight ..its just a matter of time and that time is up.
Eberele scores Nugent-Hopkins scores Hartakinan scores
Oilers win 3-1
Smytty has been taking some bad penalties this year. Not just in Columbus, but for most of the season. Bad penalties will not be tolerated. I'm glad I'm not the coach. Sitting Smytty pulls at the heart strings.
Ugh, the stars!!!
I think Fistric will add enough to the game that it doesn't go the same as last time. Dubnyk is going to have another great game.
February 12 2013, 01:16PM
Sportsnet West shows the game as available in the West but Blacked Out in Edmonton......Do they lift the Blackout if its a sellout??
Wow, Good job Krueger. It takes some serious stones to sit both Whitney and Smyth. I'm impressed! Never would have seen that w/ Renney.
GDP: Dallas is on a streak and Oilers are Streak breakers. Oilers win 4-1 tonight.
OGDP: Hall and Ebs will continue to carry pucks into the offensive zone.. and lose it. Luckily, Nuge and Ebs both will score tonight so it'll be easier to turn a blind eye to the high turnover rate.
NSOGDP: Up in the press box, Whitney will go on a rant about how he isnt wanted anymore and how he doesnt think he's good enough, etc. Smyth will smack him across the yap. Stunned!, Whitney sharts in his panties. Oilers win 4-1 and both Ryans let out a Sigh
February 12 2013, 01:23PM
Someone get in touch with Morgan Freeman, tell him he'll need to bring his white suit, please.
February 12 2013, 01:24PM
Both these guys deserve the pressbox and I love that both of them got it. Kreuger is demanding accountability and we need that culture. We all know there are injuries and there will be other guys that will struggle in the coming weeks so they will both get more chances to prove they are not done.
The part that is frustrating is that Ryan Whitney was known for being a puck-off-his-stick in a hurry first-pass type of guy and now, particularly in the last Dallas game by Benn and Jagr, he's getting his stick lifted constantly and getting stripped for chances against.
Ryan Smyth used to be the ultimate team guy. Stand in front of the net and take cross-check after cross-check and eventually draw the Oil a PP...and sometimes he would bang one in from a foot out on said powerplay. Now he hooks and slashes and puts us at a disadvantage night in night out with selfish penalties. And I think it in large part frustration with not being able to keep up with the play. Plus, he isn't winning the battles in front to bang em in.
These guys were both very useful players but if age / injury have turned their greatest assets into liabilities...you have a huge problem and a player who is now a drag on the team.
Jason NSOGDP - Fail
Plums still #1
February 12 2013, 01:54PM
UHG! I hate Dallas almost as much as I hate Vamcouver. Have to DVR the game so I dont break a remote, its easier just to forward through Dallas's cheesedick goals.
What a nice picture of Smyth! Got the hair. Got the helmet.
He has been playing terrible. I hope his slow start is due to the lack of training camp and he comes back as a contributor. I always liked Ryan Whitney's interviews. He seems like a stand up guy and someone worth cheering for.
I think 2-1 Oiler's tonight. They'll be outshot 44-11 and Paarjavi gets the winner short-handed.
February 12 2013, 02:02PM
I really hope the media just takes the high road and doesn't ask the obvious question with the obvious answer from Smyth. Smyth is a vet of this city and I don't see the need to kick the guy while he is down.
I love Smytty as much as the next fan, but I'm a vet of my City and the media takes every chance they can to kick me while I'm down. I have no sympathy for anyone who's played hockey his whole life and made millions along the way. Few people (hockey players or otherwise) will ever have a career free of scrutiny...
February 12 2013, 02:06PM
I may regret mentioning this but has anyone noticed that since the lockout ended so has the diaretic babble of one NewAgeSystem? My mouse misses speed scrolling past his tome-like comments.
February 12 2013, 02:10PM
@Cody anderson
My thoughts exactly! Calgary will never trade him back though. There must be a Glencross in the eastern conference somewhere that we could grab.

I actually feel terrible for Smitty. There would be no worse feeling than to give it everything you have and it not be enough. He came here to retire with the Oil and I am sure moving down the line and then into the pressbox already has him fearing the end is nearer then he ever dreamed.I agree with the decision to sit him and although it pulls at the heart strings to see him sit he has to pick up his game and not be a liability out there.
He does look to have lost a step or 2, and so far this year he has not shown that he can perform without quality linemates or powerplay time.
On this team he will get multiple chances to prove he has still got it, but unless we have a signifigantly better chance of winning with him in the lineup it may be better to give his icetime to a prospect.
@Cody anderson
He has a no move no trade clause as is typical of Calgary contracts. But yes, when we let him walk away then complained about needed a hard nose forward for years afterwards, I tore my hair out.
I can't remember who was writing those totally sweet team by team history profiles during the lockout, but the one on the Oilers really highlighted how the Oilers ownership conglomerate simply didn't have the money to keep him, as their efforts were entirely focused on saving the team. Having said that, I still think I'd take Horcoff as our third line centre and Gagner as our second line guy over Glencross, though not at Horcoff's contract.
Gagner a defensive prospect and a 2nd for Glencross and Bowmester? I know, I'm dreaming I'm dreaming.
Didn't Jagr sign a two year deal in Dallas? I don't think Edmonton could sign him in the summer even if they wanted to.
February 12 2013, 02:48PM

The Oilers have no idea what this player looks like.
Glencross nope
Brodziak. Nope
Ott. Nope
Tootoo. Nope
Carkner. Nope
Konopka. Nope
All available to the Oilers.
SMac and Hordichuck...........wow.
Ryan O'Reilly
Oilers have assets they could trade MPS Gagner Whitney.
February 12 2013, 03:01PM
I think JG hit the nail on the head when he stated that the Oilers are trying too hard for the pretty instead of gritty goals.
The more I watch the young guns, the more I want to yell at them to shoot.........just get the damn puck to the net and stop trying to score the pretty highlight reel goals. You know all the between the legs stuff.
If Krueger ( the motivational speaker) cannot convince the younger players to stop the pretty over passing..........just how good a coach is he?
Smytty is showing too much frustration and a lack of leadership so he deserves to sit.
I did like one thing that he did in the past few weeks, it was when Hall had the penalty shot and he ended up not scoring. As he skated up to our bench Hall was looking distraught and Smyth gave him a big smile and looked at him like, no big deal man. I did like that, but at the same time we did need that goal, so it was kinda a mixed message.
The bigger thing is I am surprised that Krueger has sat 2 veterans so early into his reign. This may be a better question for Struds but it kinda looks to me like Krueger is trying to gain some control over the room and may be distancing himself from being the open and accessible buddy buddy Coach type of guy.
I've managed people a few times and have found the buddy buddy system to be ineffective when the heat gets turned up and you need people to step up. That's when the whip comes out.
Doan and Glencross . . . I hope people lost their jobs because of these decisions.
February 12 2013, 03:17PM
@Old Retired Guy
Probably on Sportsnet Oilers instead of west. That's usually how it works here in Grande Prairie.
I don't think Krueger had any choice but to sit Smyth. Quit praising the guy for making the obvious decision.

By Gene Phelps/NEMS Daily Journal
POTTS CAMP – Tenesha Woods won the Class 2A state championship in the high jump, long jump and triple jump last season … quite a feat when you consider she had no place to properly train.
That's all changed this year.
Potts Camp has become one of a handful of high schools in Northeast Mississippi to have its own track and field facility. The eight-lane track and field event complex opened for competition this spring at the Marshall County school.
"I had to practice at Byhalia (High School)," Woods said. "Most of the time I'd just run for my training. I didn't get to practice my jumps."
The track, which surrounds the Cardinals' new football field, is part of an all-sports facility that is expected to be completed this fall with the addition of baseball and softball fields.
"It's a really nice complex. It's great having our own facility," said Karen Green, an athletics administrator for Marshall County schools and former track and field coach for 19 years at Potts Camp.
Green's cross country and track teams won 10 state championships during her tenure. Seven of those titles came in track and field.
"We used to run in the parking lot and around the softball field," Green said, referring to her team's practice sessions in past seasons. "We just conditioned and went to meets."
Potts Camp hosted three division meets last weekend and plans to host two regional meets Saturday. The facility is also scheduled to host the Class 1A and 2A North Mississippi meets May 4.
Mike Bush, who assisted Green her final three seasons, is now the Cardinals' track and field coach. Green still helps with the team when her job allows.
"I love it," Bush said. "It's awesome, especially when compared to what we had. Coach Green pushed for this all those years."
Green says former school superintendent Don Randolph and his replacement, Jerry Moore, should be credited with getting the facility built.
"This is really nice," Green said, standing in lane eight. "Words cannot express how grateful I am."

Topic: *Rails Beginner* Txt file upload to filesystem + DB
Hello all. I'm having some difficulty with the way that rails handles database writes vs. writes to hard drive. I can get my code to work to upload to the database, and to upload to the hard drive, but not both. I've tried replacing after_save :store_doc with just a direct call to the store_doc method, but that doesn't seem to work.
Can someone explain to me why this is? Without recommending a module to handle this, can someone guide me through writing a model that can accept a text upload, process the text into a DB and also write the file to a directory?
class Document < ActiveRecord::Base
attr_accessible :body, :extension, :filename, :upload
def upload=(incoming_file)
unless incoming_file.blank?
@incoming_file = incoming_file
self.filename = incoming_file.original_filename
self.extension = incoming_file.original_filename.split('.').last.downcase
if self.extension == 'txt'
self.body = incoming_file.read
self.body = 'wrong file type for direct uploading'
# def filename=(new_filename)
# write_attribute("filename", sanitize_filename(new_filename))
# end
# File.join is a cross-platform way of joining directories;
# we could have written "#{Rails.root}/public/doc_store"
DOC_STORE = File.join Rails.root, 'public', 'doc_store'
# where to write the first file to
def document_filename
File.join DOC_STORE, "#{id}.#{extension}"
# where to write the txt file to
def document_txtfilenamehas_document
File.join DOC_STORE, "#{id}.txt"
# return a path we can use in HTML for the docfile
def document_html_path
# if a doc file exists, then we has a docfile
def has_document?
File.exists? document_filename
after_save :store_doc
def store_doc
logger.info "NOW inside store_doc"
if @incoming_file
#make the DOCSTORE dir if it doesn't already exist
FileUtils.mkdir_p DOC_STORE
#write out the data to the file
logger.info "write out the data to the file"
File.open(document_filename, 'wb') do |f|
# @incoming_file = nil

Crowd Welcomes Teemu. Jets Outlast His Team.
Nation World HQ
December 17 2011 08:15PM
It was a warm, wonderful welcome for former Winnipeg Jets hero, Teemu Selanne, at MTS Centre Saturday night. There was a feature on his career on the big video board. The crowd gave him a standing ovation when he came out for his first shift. The fans even started playing this silly game in which they would boo every Ducks player who touched the puck and then cheer when Selanne touched it.
"It was kind of comical," said Zach Bogosian, the game's first star with a goal and two assists. "Our fans always boo the other team's top players, but what we saw tonight is something I've never seen before."
It was fun and, in a strange Winnipeg kind of way, rather classy. In fact, it looked like "old jersey" night. Even Jets fans who owned new jerseys, broke out the old royal blue, white and red jerseys from the 90s. There were more Selanne Jets jerseys than Ladd Jets jerseys on Saturday.
"The emotion was very high," said Selanne after the game. "I tried to stay focused, but I was very emotional. It was just a great feeling. Even in the warm-up, just seeing all the signs and the No. 13, all the Winnipeg Jets jerseys. I felt like everybody was watching me."
They were.
Of course, by the middle of the second period, it didn't matter anymore, Anaheim's Dan Ellis should have been charged with impaired goaltending as he fanned on five shots and the Jets hung on to beat Selanne's Ducks 5-3.
The Jets weren't great last night, but Ellis was awful and the Ducks were exposed as one of the slowest teams to play at Winnipeg's downtown rink this season. Sure, Selanne might be a freak, but at 41, he's the fastest skater on the Ducks and that can't be good. He also played 19 minutes. While the Jets often struggled to get the puck out of their own end, goalie Chris Mason was good enough to keep the Jets in front and Winnipeg took full advantage of the chances they had.
Selanne picked up a pair of assists, on two goals by Corey Perry, but in the end, the Ducks were no match for a Jets team that probably got its best performance of the year from its checking line --Tanner Glass, Jim Slater and Chris Thorburn -- a group effort from the goal scorers -- Wellwood, Wheeler, Burmistrov and Ladd -- the return of Tobias Enstrom and a solid performance from the 15,004 in attendance, a performance that was likely unmatched anywhere in the NHL this season.
"We would have picked Chris Mason as our first star," said Kyle Weelwood after the game. "He really was the story of the night at the end of the game. He made some great saves, especially in the third period, and he kept us in it."
Say what you will about went on down on the ice on Saturday night, the Jets crowd is becoming the talk of the NHL. Selanne even mentioned it before the game. He said he was excited to "be part of the atmosphere." While it was certainly fun for him, it wasn't for the rest of the Ducks. The crowd started before the advertised 6 p.m. CST starting time and seldom stopped cheering, chanting, singing or deriding Dan Ellis. Long-time Alberta journalist Bruce Penton compared it to a British soccer crowd. Jets fans start screaming before the anthems and don't stop until the Jets players give them the post-game salute at centre ice.
In fact, while the fans saluted the Jets at the end of the game, Tanner Glass cheered them right back.
Good for him. This Winnipeg crowd is incredibly important to this Jets team, a team that is now 15-13-4 this season and 11-5-0 at home (and a wonky 4-8-4 on the road). Winnipeg is in the midst of a huge December homestand. Starting Nov. 29, Winnipeg will play 13-of-15 at home and right now they are 6-2-0 in the first eight. After losing back on Nov. 29, they won five straight before losing 1-0 to Washington on Thursday. Saturday night's win over the Ducks had better start another home winning streak -- the Jets play Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, go to Colorado on the 27th and then play back home on the 29th and 31st before heading off in January to play 15-of-the-next-19 on the road.
"i was happy we won the game," said head coach Claude Noel. "They are a big physical team. We struggled to handle their size and their pressure game. But we got some big goals and Mason made some key saves and battled his heart out. It was a hard game to play for our players. It was a big, tough physical game."
On a night when Teemu Selanne was the centre of attention, Chris Mason, Zach Bogosian, second star Andrew Ladd and that big, loud, tireless crowd was the difference.
December 18 2011, 08:53AM
It was pretty awesome to see the Winnipeg crowd give Selanne such a warm reception. If the Ducks are well out of the playoff hunt, and the Jets are in it, I wonder if he'd consider a trade to Winnipeg?
Dear Santa...

Look for jalapeños that say "en escabeche" on the label. This means they are pickled in a liquid of vinegar, onions and carrots. Some brands may not include this on the label, so just check the ingredient list on the can.
Try these warm. Prepare as directed; place on broiler pan in between indents to prevent the stuffed jalapeños from rolling while baking. Bake at 350°F 10 minutes or until warm. Cool slightly before eating.
The small end of a small melon baller works wonderfully to remove the seeds and hollow out the inside of the chiles.

Greg Kraus (gdkraus) and I will be entering a total of about 75 sub tasks to this over the remainder of the week. If you find that we need to change anything in the process, please let us know.
These issues are based off of Greg's Accessibility report of Moodle 2.1 for NC State University:
Our first goal is to get all the bugs into tracker and triaged and then to start providing patches as we implement them for our needs here at NCSU. Of course, any community assistance would be more than appreciated (code and discussion).
To view the report in other formats - http://accessibility.oit.ncsu.edu/reports/moodle-2-1/
Fantastic, thanks guys, I'll make sure our STABLE team helps a lot too.
Priorities will be very useful, thanks.
All of the issues are entered now, so I'll go back and start adding some details.
Yes, thanks for doing this.
It may take us a while, but we will work through these.
Hi, Greg.
I've completed triaging the sub-tasks of this issue.
There are a few issues that I have left un-triaged because I wasn't sure what you meant or because I thought more detail would help. You can see these issues together using the following query.
The remaining issues I have put on either the Stable backlog or the Dev backlog. This is an indication of the significance of work involved (new code, database changes, needing room on the Moodle roadmap) and which team here at Moodle HQ might attack it. For people outside HQ, this can be ignored. A fix version relating to a Moodle version should be set once the code is integrated into one or more branches.
The stable team should be able to start working on some of these issues in the next sprint. If developers at NCSU are able to work on these issues also, that would be great. Please mark the issues as started when you do so we don't double-up on work. If you or other developers need greater access in the tracker to achieve this work, please contact me directly by email and I will arrange it.
Hi Greg - I was going over your spreadsheet to check on the status of fixes, and could not find a an issue for:
"For screen reader users it is not clear that a new window has opened up when the File Picker appears on the screen." - is there an issue number for this?
Hi Michael,
For some of the items I conflated them into a single issue, especially if a whole system just needed to be redesigned. The file picker is a good example of this. There were numerous issues with it so I put them all into one.
This is a mandatory requirement for the University of Tennessee. We don't want to put our institution in legal jeopardy by moving to 2.3. While we appreciate all of the enhancements in 2.x, please fix this in order to motivate us even further to migrate.
Hi, all.
We certainly haven't forgotten about this issue. We will make this a focus of an upcoming sprint.
Richard: your comment suggests that Moodle somehow became less accessible with 2.3. This is not the case. As we work through this and other accessibility issues, Moodle is only improving, so in that sense, 2.3 would be more accessible than previous versions. If you can identify issues in this META issue, or other issues, that are related to the legal requirements in your part of the world, please comment and vote on issues to indicate that. If you think the priority of an issue is set incorrectly, please contact me directly.
As always, we welcome solutions to issues. These can be in the form of patches or whatever you can create. That will definitely make such bugs/improvements move along faster.
I've taken the remaining sub-tasks of this issue and made them into stand-alone issues with this issue as their parent. This will allow us to rank and work on the issues independently.
There have been a number of meta-issues reporting accessibility issues over the last couple of years. Most tasks reported have been completed, but there have been some left-overs that need to be sorted out.
I have shifted the remaining sub-tasks of this issue to MDL-40738 so that we can include it in an accessibility push.
