By THE FLYLADY MARLA CILLEY
The storm is a brewing and it is not in the Caribbean; it is in your head. That storm has caused our thoughts to blow wildly in every direction and they become a vicious cycle that plays havoc with our head, homes and our families.Â
Have you ever lost your wallet and began searching for it in a frenzy? You know this feeling of not being in control and running around. The frenzy started before you lost your wallet. The frenzy is the reason you lost your wallet in the first place. That frenzy is the storm in your head. My goal is to teach you how to calm this storm before it destroys your life and home.
I can give you all the tools to calm the storm on the outside but if you have not controlled your thoughts you are not going to feel the peace that comes with your routines. In fact you may even sabotage that peace because it feels so strange. After all we have prided ourselves in being able to juggle many balls at one time.
This is not virtue; it is a cover up so that no one will really know what is going on inside your head. You think this makes you look organized when really it is only making you look like you have it all together so no one will question you.
That storm that is going on in our brains is fueled with self-doubt, perfectionism, guilt, martyrdom and shame. We are not prepared to deal with this storm so we ignore it. In fact it feels normal to us. We have always been this way. We have pushed and pushed trying to do more and more and all we ever do is get further behind and racing to catch up. We have to stop the race and get off of the track to be able to see what we are doing to ourselves.
Back to that wallet being lost; that frenzy we are in causes us to make many mistakes. It is only after we stop ourselves that we are able to find it right in front of our own eyes. We had been overlooking it because when that frenzy takes over our heads we lose our senses. We can't think, we don't see, we are not listening and we are on guard that no one knows this is happening to us. It is our perfectionism once again but this was happening before you lost the wallet.
When I start feeling this way I have learned to recognize it pretty fast. I have my routines in place to prevent this from happening to me. Occasionally this feeling will come up. Now when I am feeling like I don't know what to do next, I stop all that I am doing and spend five minutes making a plan. It is when I am not prepared that this feeling happens.
I take those five short minutes and take my foot off my accelerator and quit fueling the storm. When you remove the fuel the storm or fire will go out. Hey we can think straight instead of a vicious cycle of swirling thoughts.
I want you to begin to experience moments of calm so that when you are in a frenzy you will know how to get back to that moment and use it to quiet the raging winds and waves that are causing you to lose your mind. Be still and the peace will come. Quiet your mind by sitting down. The more you get in a hurry the worse the feeling is going to be. Slow down and set a priority to what has to be done. Do one thing at a time. Not 15 things. You can do this.
We have to get back to why you are in this frenzy in the first place though. Establishing simple routines is going to help you be prepared for the storm when it does come. Find your quiet place. Take a time out for you to calm yourself and focus on what needs to be done next; not the 15 things that are spinning in your brain. This is what you do with your quiet time; prioritize those 15 things on a piece of paper and then you have a plan.
Start with first things first and move down your list. The five minutes you spend in your quiet place will calm this storm and give you the tools to stop the wind from blowing to the land of CHAOS and Frenzy.
Are you ready to FLY with a plan for preparedness in any storm of life?

Maybe the most gratifying thing for coach Steve Spott and Team Canada was the way they played in the third period when they were protecting a two-goal lead against a very fierce opponent.
The cycle game that they got going – especially from the Boone Jenner-Brett Ritchie-Phillip Danault line – just dominated the game for long stretches. That is just ground-and-pound. If you're wearing down the Russian team in their own end, they're not a threat to score a goal.
Having Boone Jenner back in the line-up really keys things for Canada. To have 13 forwards at their disposal again is a big advantage.
He was able to step up and absolutely dominate physically and he's been playing like this all season long for the Oshawa Generals.
As I've said countless times: If the NHL season had begun in October, I don't think he'd be in the Columbus Blue Jackets' line-up. But, the way he's played in Oshawa this year – where he's looked like a man amongst boys, and he's done the same thing in this tournament – he could be in the NHL real soon.
Experience Matters
We've been saying all tournament that the number one advantage Team Canada has over other teams in this tournament is that they've got a 19-year-old Ryan Nugent-Hopkins who's able to participate in this tournament in his last year of eligibility and he's dominating offensively.
He had three assists on the day and is leading the tournament in scoring. For Steve Spott to have the instincts to put Jonathan Drouin on Nugent-Hopkins' wing and to have it pay off the way it did, that got Canada rolling in the early-going and it created offence from the power play.
The Russians were already down one man due to injuries. Andrei Sigarev – who's a real good player on the top line with Nail Yakupov and Alexander Khokhlachev didn't play in this game due to injury – and early on Valeri Nikushkin drills Tyler Wotherspoon from behind into the glass.
That's a five-minute major and a game misconduct and might lead to a one-game suspension for Sigarev.
You're already down one forward in Sigarev, you lose a guy like Nikushkin who has been very good for them – he's draft eligible this year and likely to go pretty high in the first round – it's tough.
Power Surge
As soon a sthe game against the Americans ended - where they had that five-on-three power play that didn't generate much of anything – Steve Spott was really unhappy with the team trying to be way too cute, not getting pucks to the net and not getting pucks back to the point. There was too much happening below the goal line.
Team Canada really learned its lessons from the American game in this one. Everything was generated from the blue line. Time after time after time they put the puck to the point and put people to the net and good things happened.
It was a very simple game plan: less passing, more shooting, more traffic and pucks to the net. That's how you beat Russian goalie Andrei Makarov.

The timing couldn't be much worse, seeing as Gary Bettman already has a big shit sandwich on his plate with the NHL lockout, but I'm wondering, as others are, if he might take time away from his CBA duties to play a hand in stalled talks between the Edmonton Oilers and city council over a new downtown arena.
After all, while The Count has his hands full frustrating Donald Fehr and the NHLPA at every turn getting the NHL back on track, anybody who can reject three counter-proposals in less than 20 minutes, as Bettman did Thursday, might be able to make the time to jump a jet and lock himself in a room with Stephen Mandel and Daryl Katz and broker a deal for a new downtown rink, which is something Katz has already hinted might be worth a try.
I'm wondering if Bettman might be able to make sense of the real numbers members of council and the Katz Group can't seem to agree on as quickly as he shot down Fehr and the NHLPA – I have an image of Bettman skimming over pages and pages of documents with his fingertip like in one of those old speed-reading commercials. Really, a $450-million project is small potatoes compared to the $3-billion pie he's engaged in cutting up with Fehr.
It's probably a goofy idea, I know (and one, some will say, that must be a bad idea if Katz is willing to try it). I might be grasping at straws by even thinking Bettman might be able to coax some movement into the arena stalemate, but if anybody else has a better idea, I'd be happy to hear it.
I can't imagine he could do anything to worsen the lines of communication.
"I think everyone needs to take a deep breath," Bettman told reporters Thursday when asked about the stalled arena negotiations here. "The Oilers need a new arena, the City of Edmonton needs a new arena.
"And I'm hopeful that despite the breakdown in negotiations, reason will prevail and we'll get it to the right place."
Fans around the NHL, you can bet, are hoping the same thing as it pertains to "reason" and the "right place" in CBA negotiations. Fans here, as I do, might be wondering if Bettman will find the time to inject some of that here with Katz and council – if he's not laid up resting his arm after giving Fehr and the PA three rapid-fire pies in the face.
Philosophically, we know Bettman wants the Oilers in Edmonton. He fought to keep the team in town in the throes of the transition from Peter Pocklington to the EIG. With both sides of this impasse in full agreement (they are, aren't they?) this city needs a new rink as a catalyst to revitalize the downtown, what possible reason could Mandel and council have NOT to invite Bettman to join the discussion?
Listen to Robin Brownlee Wednesdays and Thursdays from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. on the Jason Gregor Show on TEAM 1260.

The only reason the mayor would not want Bettman here that I can see would be, is that he is kind of employed by Katz...
October 18 2012, 11:08PM
It's late, I'm studying for an exam and stressing over bad hockey news for Edmonton. So my sentence structure went to hell.
October 18 2012, 11:51PM

That should be enough not to invite the count
October 19 2012, 12:11AM
Maybe if the lockout last for 2 or more years the financial structure of the each cities arenas will be re-examined including subsidies and non-game-night revenue.
Besides, Katz can't move the team if there is no league operating.
I'm down with a 2+ year lockout to give the players some perspective and the city of Edmonton more time to get a better arena deal.
Bettman is a little busy trying to shaft the players but maybe if both sides end him preparatory information, his underlings study ut and breif him, he can come for 24 hours, sit with Mandel and Katz and see if they can hash something out. Everyone knows he is employed by the owners, so that would be factored into any public comments he made.
I would love to see it.
What do we have to lose? Maybe a way for both groups to save face (particularly Katz ).
Man, the count and Gary Bettman really really look similar.
Thats awesome.

and you forgot the edit function.
As a prof, let me make a suggestion. Stop reading Oilersnation while you are studying. It is a waste of time and you are just procrastinating. When you need a break get up and walk away from your computer. Do some push ups or streches or something, don't waste valuable time on the internet.
October 19 2012, 01:19AM
Bettman obviously had no intention of negotiating but also, less than 48 hours after receiving the NHL's offer, Fehr reads, absorbs, and counters with 3 separate proposals. Clearly these 3 proposals were crafted long before so why were they not put on the table earlier? It seems like nobody wants to have a season.
On an unrelated matter, will the gong show between Katz and the city affect the Oilers ability to attract or retain FAs in the future? Does anybody think Justin Schultz is second-guessing signing here?
Also, I don't know what Hayek expects from Big Daddy. I am not disappointed.
October 19 2012, 03:16AM
V-one vonderful new CBA...oh, wait!
V-one vonderful new arena...oops!
V-one vonderful numba v-one! Ah ah ah!
*Awesome picture of Bettman!*
October 19 2012, 03:45AM
What this article needs is some advanced mathematical statistics, amirite?
If you don't like Rueben's articles, don't read them. No one really gives a sh!t about how disappointed you are. But hey, why be polite and provide constructive criticism when you can just be rude and scream for attention.
Anyways, maybe Bettman will remember the one time in his NHL career where he actually got cheered and lend us a hand.
Hey some people get their kicks out of all the advanced stats and numbers and some don't. Its all about perspective. Don't get me wrong the Willis articles are good but I personaly zone out a bit with all the numbers, the others who write here with other styles are enjoyed by many.
I think the latest proposal will light a fire under Katz to get a deal done.
It's been suggested that the city build the new arena with Northlands managing it. The existing Rexall Place which sits on city land can then be sold to a private buyer and the equity from that sale goes into funding the new arena.
Katz could then rent the new arena with the added benefit of more seats and box seat, better concessions,etc.
GENIUS! It that doesn't motivate Katz to move on the deal nothing will. :)
October 19 2012, 07:18AM
I completely agree that Katz is one of Bettman's bosses, and therefore the count should have nothing to do with 'brokering' an agreement. It is in Bettman's personal interest to get Katz as much public money as possible.
I also agree that a 2 or 3 year lockout might not be such a bad thing for the fans to regain a bit of perspective. Life goes on without the NHL. There are much more important things to spend our money on.
October 19 2012, 08:16AM
Negotiations broke down because reason DID prevail.
How is the Count meeting with the two principals in private going to change anything? There was already a deal negotiated in good faith, "in private", and that went really well, didn't it? I guess communication is always a good thing, but, at this point, can Katz be trusted to honour any aspect of a deal that he isn't on public record to having actually formally agreed to? I think City Council answered that question Wednesday.
I found Bettman's message of not getting caught up in emotions when talking about the arena to be pretty amusing when held against the back drop of watching him storm out of the PA offices after 15 min of negotiating.
Anyways, why not? Mandel seems comfortable with the idea and that's good enough for me.
I would even suggest that when Mandel made his speech about this being a city council that wants to make a deal, wants to build an arena and in part feels like keeping an NHL team here is a type of trust on the city that he wasn't talking to teh peopl of Edmonton or Katz but was talking directly to Bettman. The city was telling the NHL directly that they are comitted to NHL hockey here and that the NHL needs to reign in one of it's members.
Listen to the podcast of the Thurs interview with Bryan Anderson on the Bob "My boss can do no wrong" Stauffer show. Mr. Anderson was strongly in favour of bringing in Bettman basically because he knows Hockey economics and what the NHL might allow should no Arena be built.

There's no denying Shawn Horcoffs fingerprints are all over these CBA and arena shortcomings.
Damn you Horcoff!
October 19 2012, 09:53AM
Hey Prof! How do you spell "streches"?
October 19 2012, 10:25AM
Hey Prof! How do you spell "streches"?
wife picking on you this morning? needed to pass that on to someone else so they can feel your pain? high class sir! way to go.
By pictures you mean classic cars like 62 vette or a Shelby mustang.
The deal will be done by January imo. The 2 sides have to much to lose by not finding a compromise. If it takes Bettman's unique brand of negotiating then so be it. It has been successful and proven.Gary works for owners including Katz but his mandate is such that the NHL brand and its 29 other owners have a huge say in what Katz is allowed to do under its charter. The league has proven in the past(Nashville) and present(Pheonix) its willingness to impose those agreements. Its when all other options are wasted(Atlanta) is a team allowed to seek other recourse's.It does not happen very often. Issues such as attendance do even come into the conversation when speaking about edmonton. Nor does rent,or some of the other issues that have led other teams to leave a market.
So yeah I think Edmonton should be pleased if Bettman and his team show up to balance the scales a little and add a little 3rd party check to both sides of this negotiation. The very least Gary could offer to the city is com parables to other deals. Either way we need both sides to stop publicly negotiating and cool off for a bit.

As a prof, I endurse this reply.
October 19 2012, 01:06PM
I have a hard time thinking of Bettman as being the solution to any type of problem...
October 19 2012, 02:50PM
Man, the count and Gary Bettman really really look similar.
Thats awesome.
Go to twitter and look up @CountBettman
He even acts the same!
October 19 2012, 02:51PM
There's no denying Shawn Horcoffs fingerprints are all over these CBA and arena shortcomings.
Damn you Horcoff!
Only because Gilbert and Penner are no longer on the squad.
i wonder why katz was in such a hurry to buy the oilers if they don't turn enough profit for him? i also wonder why ,if so many teams are non-profitable or losing money why do they keep giving out these insane contracts to players?
so tamby (and therefore katz) gives hall and eberle 6 million a year, but he can't kick in 6 mil a year for a new rink with all revenue generated from it?? what is wrong with this picture?? it sure sounds like the taxpayers are getting raped. katz should be embarrassed!!! the taxpayers will endorse the deal though because kevin lowe will say it's a good deal...... so it must be.....

You get what you pay for
"I bought these shoes as a temporary replacement for super-old shoes because they weren't super-expensive. However, the price really reflects the quality in this case. With such basic design, they do not have enough cushion for real running and not enough support on either side of the shoe to accommodate over- or under-rolling. Additionally, I usually buy 11's in normal shoes and 12's in fitness shoes to account for the room needed when working out and these in 12's were as short on my feet as 11's -- way, way, way too short for what I have gotten with Nikes in the past. I would recommend spending a little more money to get a better quality shoe. These weren't even worth the $50-ish I spent."

Three Open Source Applications Everyone Should Have
The number one reason people stick to what they know is because they don't know any better. In my last article, I wrote that most people have no clue what alternatives are available in the software world. It's hard to go out and look for an alternative that works. While there are tons of great resources to start with such as Lifehacker, many find it too tedious to constantly keep up with emerging technology.
Here is a list of what I think are essential open source applications that everyone should have, with the exception of web browsers. The following three recommendations are available for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux.
OpenOffice.org – One of the most troubling things about purchasing a new computer is that it doesn't come with the tools that most people need to get real work done. By real work, I mean an office suite that includes a word processor, spreadsheets, and a presentation program. By default, we know these commonly as Microsoft Office, a.k.a. Word, Excel, and Powerpoint. These are brand names, yet we associate them almost entirely with what we expect from an office suite because of how ubiquitous they have become, much in the same way we substitute "Google" for "search".
How much does Microsoft Office costs these days? Last time I checked, it was roughly $400 for the standard edition, give or take some savings here and there at Amazon or wherever you purchase your software. The student edition isn't as hard on your wallet as the Standard version, costing only around the suggested retail price of $150.
We are so aware of MS Office because that is what the business and education sectors use for the most part. However, alternatives do exist. Sometimes they match MS Office in features or extend beyond what Office provides. You can buy Apple's iWorks '09 for $80, a savings of $70 over the student version of Office, but how does free sound instead? It sounds a lot cheaper, right? I thought as much. However, the $0 price tag shouldn't come at the cost of functionality. Read the rest of this entry »

~~Success Versus Cardinals Necessary by Andrew Dunn-Bauman
The Brewers are off to an incredible start to the 2014 season. With a nine-game winning streak already in the books, the Crew owns the best record in the MLB at 10-3. Things have been clicking on all cylinders in Milwaukee, but there still remains a thorn in the sides of players and fans alike: The St. Louis Cardinals.
Monday night the Cardinals rolled into town and robbed everyone in the city of Milwaukee of free burgers, snapping the Brewer winning streak just one game shy of double digits. The loss dropped the Brewers' record against the Cardinals to 11-24, dating back to the start of the 2012 season.
Don't get me wrong, it's far from time to hit the panic button. April has been much kinder so far than I had ever anticipated (minus the weather) for Milwaukee, and I'll take the best record in the MLB at any juncture of the season, obviously. For fans freaking out about losing to the Cardinals, let's remember that this squad from St. Louis was slated by almost every pundit to win the NL Central in the preseason. They're good. Really good. The loss was amplified by the fact that it busted a huge winning streak, but no one could have realistically expected the Crew to sweep the Redbirds.
Now, that doesn't excuse the Brewers from ever beating the Cardinals. Quite the opposite. For this team to contend in the Central this year, they need to be competitive with the Cards. At least close to .500 ball against them. Back in 2011, when the Brewers won a franchise record 96 regular season games, they played the Cardinals even at 9-9. But that was against a weaker division than the NL Central this year (the Astros were still in the NL in 2011, that's all you need to know). Wins against division opponents will be at a premium this season (minus the Cubs) so the Brewers cannot afford to be handled by the Cardinals if they want to contend for the postseason.
The Crew has two games left in this set against their rivals from Missouri, and if they fail to win either, the Brewer fan base will go catatonic. The team can absorb this kind of result, but players and fans alike feel it's high time to make a statement. Jonathan Lucroy said on the Bill Michaels show this morning "I feel like we're better than (the Cardinals) are." Let's see the Crew prove it.

Annual gillnetting occurred at Joes Valley Reservoir on May 16. Five nets were set the night before and checked the following morning. Several Division of Wildlife Resources biologists and technicians were present along with numerous volunteers and Dedicated Hunters from Emery County. Two year classes of tiger muskellunge were present.
Fish stocked in 2009 averaged 30 inches and fish stocked in 2010 averaged 20 inches. Approximately two dozen muskies were sampled with the largest being 34 inches and around 11 pounds. The muskies appear to be surviving well and are experiencing excellent growth. All sampled fish were very fat and healthy. Stomach contents were examined on several fish and Utah chub were present in every stomach. Several muskies had Utah chub up to nine inches in their stomachs.
Splake, tiger trout, and cutthroat trout were also sampled. Two trout around five pounds were caught, one tiger trout and one splake. Overall trout numbers were less than last years catch, but numerous small splake were present in the nets. Utah chub abundance was similar to last year. Aquatic Program Manager, Justin Hart, thinks that it will take a few more years to see an effect on Utah chub numbers. We need to get several year classes of tiger muskies over 30 inches in the reservoir. Once we get a strong population of large fish we'll begin to see Utah chub numbers dwindle. It is unlikely we'll see muskie more than 40 inches this year, but there are numerous fish that should hit the high 30 inch range this fall. Those fish should easily top 10 pounds and provide excellent angling opportunities.

Report: Gelinas to join Flames as assistant coach
Ryan Pike
June 13 2012 08:13PM
In an effort to return to the successes of 2004, the Calgary Flames may soon bring back another member of that year's Western Conference Championship team.
Sportsnet 960 The Fan's Pat Steinberg reported on his Twitter feed today that the Flames have had talks with former Flames forward Martin Gelinas about their vacant assistant coach position.
#Flames have spoken with Nashville Director of Player Development Martin Gelinas about vacant assistant coaching position.— Pat Steinberg (@Fan960Steinberg) June 14, 2012
Gelinas was a crucial part of the Flames 2004 playoff run, scoring the series clinching goals in each of the first three rounds. He also (nearly) put the puck in the net in Game Six of the Stanley Cup Finals, which we will never speak of again.
Gelinas left Calgary via free agency and retired from playing in 2009. He played 1273 NHL games with Edmonton, Quebec, Vancouver, Carolina, Calgary, Florida and Nashville, appearing in four Stanley Cup Finals with four different teams (and winning a Cup in 1990 with Edmonton).
With former Shawinigan Cataractes head coach Eric Veilleux reportedly joining the QMJHL's Baie-Comeau Drakkar as their head coach, Gelinas may immediately become the front-runner for the Calgary vacancy opened up by Dave Lowry's recent departure. The big question surrounding Gelinas is whether he can run an offense and power-play, having never coached at any level previously. Then again, based on his playing record, he certainly knows how to score and how to win. The secondary question is whether surrounding the club with people from the 2004 run is the best way to move the team into the future.
Gelinas was a quality player for many years and avid about conditioning which is why he was effective well into his 30's. He has been the Predators director of player development since 2009-10.
UPDATE: The Calgary Sun's Randy Sportak is reporting that the deal is done and that Gelinas could be announced as the newest assistant coach as early as Thursday.

The Eliminator Is welcome on any team of mine. I just hope he knows a thing or two about coaching.
Everyone needs to be given a chance. Maybe he works out, maybe he doesn't. On the plus side he knows Iggy and Kipper, he knows Conroy. He knows the city of Calgary and I'm sure a lot of us fans still remember everything he did for the franchise. I'm all for giving him a shot. At this point what do the Flames have to lose?
June 13 2012, 08:39PM
Some great memories of Gelinas. He was an underrated player even into the twilight of his career.
No idea what kind of coach he'll be though.
Gelinas ALSO served as an interim Assistant Coach for the Milwaukee Admirals last season after the departure of Kirk Muller to Carolina in the Fall.
Ian Herbers - who was an Assistant - was named the new Ads Head Coach and Gelinas jumped in as an assistant until that role could be filled.
I interviewed him in MKE in the Fall and he reflected fondly on his time in Calgary and - clearly - the '04 run which he starred in.
June 13 2012, 08:54PM
@Ryan Pinder
Interesting. I didn't know he had filled in as a coach. Thanks for the heads up.
He lives in Calgary anyway. (or at least his daughter does. Maybe divorced?)
I miss those days. Hope Martin the Closer does well as an assistant coach here. And if the Flames face an elimination game or a chance to finish a series sometime in his tenure, can he hop on the ice?!?! :)
Looks like our Coaching staff is full, nice to see Malarchuk sticking around as well, got to meet him as he came to Calgary the first time around and he was a really good guy to chat with.
So if we bottom out this year, theres pretty well no excuses at this point in time, wonder what happens if that is the end result.
Getting someone from that level of the Predators organization is great.
They certainly have proven they know what they are doing when it comes to drafting and developing players...
June 14 2012, 12:47AM
Looks like another step towards a rebuild with a development guy like Gelinas coming on board. He probably will also be good cop to Hartley's bad cop. I fondly remember Gelinas in the '04 run and look forward to him being a part of the organization again.
June 14 2012, 12:52AM
While I have Nashville on the brain, what are people's thoughts on Radulov? Should he be someone the Flames target? There could be good chemistry with Cerevenka, top end talent, and a righty.
GlenX-Cerevenka-Radulov Tanguay-Cammi-Iggy Baertchi-Backlund-Stempniak/Aliu Bouma-Stajan/Jones-Jackman
There's a few x-factors but could be a good group. Nice mix of youth & vets, skill & team toughness.
If he wasn't too expensive I'd be down with a short-term deal for Radulov. Would have to be conditional picks, however. I really don't see anyone selling the farm to Nashville for the rights to a KHL defector and dressing room malcontent. I think this will be his last chance at the NHL and it's entirely up to the player to make the most of it. It's a shame that his attitude and work ethic don't seem up to par with his talent level.
June 14 2012, 07:16AM
Perhaps the rights to Jokinen or Sarich... For the rights to Radulov?
Or, better yet... Babchuk and Stajan, for Radulov and a throw-in.
@everton; To take Babchuk & Stajan how about the throw in be a bucket of pucks.
June 14 2012, 08:48AM
@ CitizenFlame
I think The hockey news has Radulov listed as a RW that shoots left. Still, his talent is undeniable so I would take a chance on a short term contract.
Absolutely couldn't be happier to have Gelinas back in the org. Was a big fan of his effort level, and knowing that he's spent some years in a development role perhaps flows nicely into an assistance coach role with the Flames.
June 14 2012, 10:54AM
So do we have any links to what people in Nashville praising him are saying? Or what his actual role was? Because the whole thing is still very vague to me
Still ticked that Darryl essentially replaced him with Amonte. "Thanks for winning all those series Martin! Take care now!"
Had the Flames won in game 6 against TB would they have re-signed him? If only and if only.
I've heard before he loves Calgary, lives here, but why leave a position like that for a coaching gig? Each to their own , I guess.
June 14 2012, 12:40PM
From what I understood at the time Calgary wanted Gelinas back, but he went off and signed in Florida. I beieve Amonte fell on the Flames radar after that happened.
Or McCarty, but that's too depressing to think about.
@bookofloob - my understanding is that he wanted to come back and the Flames kept delaying (probably so they wouldn't look like the bad guys in the whole thing). Gelinas finally got tired of waiting (and being terribly disrespecetd considering his recent playoffs) and then not long after Amonte was signed using the Gelinas signing as an excuse.
It was the first move of Darryl's that began to sour me on him. Many more would follow.
June 14 2012, 02:35PM
Perhaps Gelinas makes picking up Radulov more of a possibility.
June 14 2012, 02:51PM
everton fc
Or less.
@ smith and all. Gelinas definitely lives on the Westside of Calgary, my friend coaches his daughter in soccer and they have met him a number of times. No move for Geli, here is here!

|In response to Re: How to identify tub faucet for replacement cartridge ??????
: Our new (to us)house has a two handle tub and shower faucet that I need to replace the cartridge in.
Steve, it sounds loke you have an american standard faucet, the had a large heavy handle like you describe that had the nylon insert for the stem. We fix this faucet often and what I would suggest is to replace both stems to the "re-nu" style stem. The stems you have in the faucet now most likely have "aquaseal" style stems that have a top hat like washer. We find the re-nu style works much better than the aquaseal style, replace the seats and you are good to go. The entire fix should cost around $11. If you nedd more help email me.
Good luck,

text: The 2006 softball season came to a close with a perfect record of 18-0 for the 14-18 year old Castle Dale (Lake) girls. After ending the regular season with 14 wins-0 losses the team went on to win their first three games in the final tournament. On Friday night they met the team from Orangeville for the championship game. With strong batting, tough defense, 15 strikeouts from pitcher Leslee Lake, and a three run home run from Danee Merrill, Castle Dale came out ahead 7-3. The coaches all agree that it took team work, enthusiasm and a willingness to give 100 percent that made the season so successful. The team appreciates coaches Kerry Lake, Candy Price and Wayne Maxfield for their time and dedication to help them be better players.

Douglas County continues to make noise on the economic front, pulling in three top awards at the Economic Development Council of Colorado annual awards banquet.
County Commissioner Jill Repella was named volunteer of the year; Amy Sherman, president of the Northwest Douglas County Economic Development Corporation, took home rookie of the year honors; and Arapahoe/Douglas Works! picked up the partner of the year award for its innovative work.
The volunteer award that Repella picked up April 4 in Colorado Springs is the only award that an elected official is eligible for.
"Jill has a very pro-business attitude," said John Cody, EDCC chairman. "She was recognized specifically for her role in economic development, as well as her fundamental belief in the role of government to facilitate and foster a fertile business environment and her contribution to the passage of the Colorado Jobs Act last year."
Repella said the real award to her was people getting back to work in Douglas County.
"Six thousand, three hundred new jobs were brought into Douglas County's jurisdiction in the past year and about 3,500 of those were brand new jobs," she said. "From my perspective that's 3,500 families that were able to provide for themselves … I only hope that trend continues."
Sherman, who founded the NDCEDC in November 2011, was honored for bringing in 25 new investors in the organization's first year, including Douglas County, Sterling Ranch, Wind Crest, The Highlands Ranch Community Association, IREA, First Bank and numerous other heavyweights from the region.
"Northwest Douglas County is primed for some really great future development," Sherman said. "This is really a big piece of it, and with Sterling Ranch in our future and Highlands Ranch being a great, established suburban community creating more jobs all the time, we have some great focus on us right now that is needed."
Sherman also serves on the board of directors for the Roxborough Business Association and on the nearby Lamb Spring Archaeological Preserve.
"To somewhat change professions and start a brand-new organization while contributing significantly toward economic development efforts, representing not only her region, we thought Amy was well-deserving of the award," Cody said.
Cody said the Arapahoe/Douglas Works! award was really reflective of years of exemplary work in connecting a skilled workforce with employers and more.
"They've done some cutting-edge things to help make the Colorado economy successful," he said.
This past year, ADW helped the Denver South Economic Development Partnership with site selection data that resulted in location and expansion of Arrow Electronics, Redwood Trust and Charles Schwab. They also helped with staffing for Connextions, TriZetto, Blockbuster, Kaiser Permanente and Gordon Composites, to name a few.
"I think it is an affirmation of the work my staff does in realizing both the supply side and the demand side of the economy," said Joe Barela, regional director for ADW. "In this environment, the worst thing you can do is not to be connected. We bring people together to make sure there is a good match."

Skip to comments.Hollywood's Heroes: Newsmax Magazine Names 25 Best Stars
Posted on 09/19/2008 1:17:12 PM PDT by stevek1
In NewMax's "Hollywood's Heroes" you'll find out about the 25 stars who deserve acclaim for their courageous support of America and our troops. These are celebrities who live out the heartland's values and stand up against Hollywood's political correctness.
(Excerpt) Read more at w3.newsmax.com ...
"Gary Sinise"
Had a chance to meet Gary Sinise down in Orlando a few years back...a class act all the way. Super nice.
Gary is my boyfriend....he just doesn't know it yet. ;)
heh heh. My wife has a thing for him too.
Well I guess it could be breaking news when "Hollywood" and "Support of America and troops" are in the same paragraph.
No stars on this post.
Uh, get in line! ;)
I will watch just about anything if he is in it.
Three cheers for those in Hollywood committed to our troops!!
Didn't Robin Williams do a lot of stuff for the troops? I know he's a barking moonbat leftist, but he should get some credit for that.
He writes a lot of e-mail spam.
You will have to fight for him!
You are a chick, right?
I hope your name isn't Annie.
No, but I do have a gun. Is that important?
They forgot Bruce Willis.
No, I was thinking more along the lines of Annie Wilkes....but come to think of it she did have a revolver.
How are you with hand tools?
I thought they meant Conservatives, not more liberal pukes.
Yes Robin has and for that I have to give him some credit. He may not agree with the policies but he did the right thing as far as our troops go. Same with Angelina Jolie.
Lol! It was Annie Oakley that came to mind. Annie Wilkes, I'm not familiar with.
About the only hand tools I'm competent with are scissors and needles. If you ever have socks that need darning, just give me a call! :)
Where's Clint Eastwood?
Wow, Denzel? Who knew?
Oh, Andy's been mine for nearly a decade....so back off!!!! Although I see Denzel on this list as well.....hmmmmm, decisions decisions.
Now, now, Caramel gal, don't be greedy! I've already got first dibbs on Gary....and don't wait because I'll never get tired of HIM! :P
I thought Denzel had some conservative leanings but according to newsmeat.com, he gave $2,300 to Obama.
How about Jon Voight?
My wife was complaining about the fact taht they were doing another CSI spinoff with CSI NY until she found out Sinese was in it, I don't think she has missed an episode.
You'll like this list.

Hi this is Sam,
As you might know, we are celebrating the 12th anniversary of one of our key projects in Africa, The Wildlife Clubs in Uganda. It's been 12 years since The Gorilla Organization joined forces with this project, which is aimed at educating young people on environmental issues.
The purpose of the partnership with the Uganda Wildlife Authority was to help spread the wildlife clubs in schools that surround the habitat where the gorillas live as well as to raise awareness on the importance of preserving the gorilla and its habitat.
Ever since this project was implemented, specifically in Southwest Uganda, hundreds of activities have taken place including: planting trees and vegetables in school gardens, arts, crafts, music, drama and dance lessons, screening of wildlife documentaries, discussions and competitions. It's amazing to see the excitement of all the pupils of the clubs that have joined us as well as the development they have raised on environmental awareness, including the protection and conservation of gorillas!
So far, 78 Wildlife Clubs have been established in Uganda and more than 3,000 pupils have become members. Also members and teachers have had the opportunity to take part in excursions to the Mgahinga National Park, where they gained first-hand experience of conservation in action.
I will keep you posted with more amazing news from this project!

they definitely couldve marketed this fight and put it on FOX...these guys are legends of the sport and are WAY more marketable than dos santos/velasquez, title or no title...that wouldve blown the doors off the house...everyone wouldve been tuning in like the griffin/bonnar war...
you have to feel for shogun, i thought the guy was DONE after the first round and he fought back...i mean sometimes i think the refs dont pay enough attention or maybe they over analyze..theres no way its a unanimous decision...henderson was gassed after the 2nd round, shogun had dominant position everytime it went to the ground...if you give it to hendo, its a split dec., but this thing was the epitome of a draw, IMO...
Trust in Tanny
We need more UFC fans here! lol. I'm on other sites too much talking to nubs....
Great fight though.
Best fight I've ever seen. Just unreal toughness from both of those dudes. Dan Henderson looked better saturday night than he has ever looked in his career imo.
His KO on Bisping was amazing....that KO will forever be an image in my brain
GSP has a torn ACL and Dos Santos just had surgery on a torn meniscus. Torn meniscus isn't a bad thing to recover from but the way GSP fights...torn ACL is not good.
Pretty good card last night...here's a recap for all who missed it.

text: Court papers filed in Sacramento claim that a former Farmers Insurance Group district manager is owed $13.8 million in overtime pay and benefits. The former manager, Michael Pexa, claims he worked for Farmers Insurance, not a an independent business owner contracted by the company. The company, in a response filed in court, said Pexa hired his own staff and used company expenses to buy a Ferrari and cover a $66,000 entry fee to a country club -- and $25,000 in monthly dues. Those are the kinds of expenses written off by someone who runs his own business; not a company employee, Farmers Insurance claims. The company also said Pexa filed taxes that list him as an independent, writing off the Ferrari and two other vehicles -- a BMW and an Escalade -- as business expenses, as well as trips in a motor home. The Sacramento Bee reported Tuesday that Pexa earned $2.6 million from the company in four years. But Pexa\'s lawyers claims he could not hire or fire employees and that he was forbidden to work for any other company. The lawsuit asks for $6.5 million in overtime pay owed, $5.5 million for business expenses, $1 million for his pension, nearly three-quarters of a million for \"contract value\" and $2,000 per month four fur years to cover medical insurance, the Bee reported.

This whole assignment was tough--beginning with the photo and moving on to the LO. I think I'm happy with the result. Maybe the difficulty was in that this isn't on top of my list of LO's to work on right now! Supplies in EXIF.
It may not have been at the top of your layouts to create list but it sure turned out gorgeous!
this is wonderful....the old photo is so amazing and the new photo of the desk is great..its a great looking desk and a great story to go with it... i felt the same way about the lo...it is my first lo of 2010 and not what i was planning...not to mention i still have a bunch of photos i want to scrap from 2009 and need to do that so i can print out my 2009 pages...so i know how you feel...but i think you will be happy to have this page and preserve the memory of where this desk came from and the history ...so in the end...sometimes it is good to do something we didnt plan on or would'nt do without the challenge...
love all the heritage embellishments and colors you used

I Dream of Jeanne Cakes selected by Brides Magazine as one of their 100 Favorite Bakers (2013)
Good morning to you Jeanne & good afternoon to you Jeannette. Thank you both for your kind & friendly sentiments.
I missed all of you, because of my vision problem I cannot spend much time in reading many of the postings of the past. I am enjoying reading those that I have read at random so far. Thanks again ladies. I hope you both enjoy the rest of the day.
Good things are worth waiting for!! Welcome back, Cass. The forum has not been the same without you.
Good morning to you my learned friend. Thank you for the welcome & the positive sentiment. It is nice to be back from the dead.
I have noticed there has been a wave of new members. The more the merrier…perhaps we all then can learn from their experiences in baking knowledge.
Good luck to you & enjoy the rest of the day my friend.
Cass, my learned friend! I just left you a little snippet yesterday to see if you would pop up, and my husband and I were talking about that last night. I told him about the time you told me I needed to report to the head warden when I came back from a trip. I didn't know you were not well. So now I look forward to more of your valuable insight and, estimable presence; it's not the same without you. joan
Hello Caspar!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was just thinking of you and stopped by to see if there was any news of you; and here to my wondrous eyes should appear: glad tidings from our learned friend, Fresh Kid! So glad to see you here with your usual charm and wit. I hope your health keeps improving by leaps and bounds, and that you have a Merry Christmas, and Peace and Happiness in the New Year. I hope you can drop by as your health permits, because we all love your presence and wonderful surport.

Skip to comments.'Long-simmering' tension at South High leads to 'all-out brawl'
Posted on 02/15/2013 5:40:09 AM PST by crosshairs
That all-out brawl at South High in Minneapolis got coverage from virtually every local outlet. At WCCO-TV, Esme Murphy reports: Twelve people complained that they had been sprayed with mace. Police at the scene said they had to use chemical agent to get the crowd under control as they were being pelted with objects as they tried to break things up. [One student] said the fights were over pride. I know its a pride thing between Muslims and black people, she said. They want their pride back for something. I dont know. She also said boys were hitting girls and that some people were lying on the floor, with their hands over their heads, in surrender. The fight, students say, was the result of long-simmering tensions between the 8 percent of students who are Somali Americans and the 20 percent who are African Americans.
The Strib story, by Paul Walsh and Kelly Smith, says, Guled Omar, a senior, said he was sitting in the cafeteria when the outburst began after a boy hit a girl. I don't feel safe here, Omar said. This is something that has been going on for at least two years, he said. I don't know if it's because we're minorities of the newest immigrant group, Omar added, saying he has complained to the principal and the School District.
KSTP-TVs story, reported by Joe Mazan, says: Classes will be in session Friday, the district said Thursday evening. The school will implement a safety plan to ensure that there is support for a safe learning environment. Additional counselors and support staff will be on hand. The school will operate under a code yellow Friday. Students will remain in their classrooms during class periods and access in and out of the building will be limited. The school will be on its normal schedule.
Those Amish are at it again (had to get that in first!)
bro vs mo?
Just another sign of the creeping anarchy sweeping the nation.
Ooh la la! Betting we won't hear of any "hate crime" charges being filed over this incident.
I haven't used the term Amish for awhile. I think it was widely criticized.
The Somalis will never integrate into our society. The government was really stupid for letting them come into the country.
Did anyone but me LOL at this?
Ya know we never seemed to have these here riots when were growin' up, doncha know.
There are few people on this planet with a lower opinion of American blacks than African blacks; they look at how much is offered to them, and how they squander. They also look at how they prey on people who actually contribute to society, and are bewildered that we don't just keep them in cages.
Boy they sure learn to play that race card quickly. Funny thing is they played it against another group of blacks.
Chaos when two different cultures collide.
"it's a pride thing"
Both groups have a false inflated opinion of self. A feel-good fake self-esteem. In order to bolster their self-image they put down and assault people not in their group.
Good to see one victim group tussling with another victim group about who's the best victim group.
We've had the same problems over in the next county. One person described it as "Black students vs really black student". The Americans pick on the Africans for being too dark.
Maybe a little more lutefisk in their diet will fix 'em right up, hey that'd be a good deal for everybody, don't ya think.
It was just another Amish riot in a Blue City.
"The school will operate under a code yellow Friday."
Is that similar to Yellow Alert on the Enterprise???
Good catch!
"The Somalis will never integrate into our society. The government was really stupid for letting them come into the country."
As our society descends into a welfare-mentality porn show, I think there is something to be said for people that cling to their traditions (my children are told we are visitors here). The government put them into what must seem to be the most God-forsaken place for East Africans; Minnesota has some of the lowest temps in the lower 48 states.
Infidels/kuffars just don't know how to be second-class citizens yet. They're finding out the hard way!
They've taken over the airport.
Schools are next.
I didn't know whether to laugh, cry or pray for what remains of the country/culture I knew as a child. Did all 3.
Good catch. It completely went over my head the first time. It reminds me of the Olympics a couple of years ago when some ditz couldn't stop referring to a black athlete born and raised in Canada as "African American". He had to correct her four or five times: "ma'am, I don't know how to say it any clearer: I'm not African, and I'm not American."
Good question. Just what do they teach Somalis during "Black History Month" The tales of Arab slave traders?
"Oh s---, here we go! It's on! Race War! Race War! Race War! Race war's on everybody! It's going down! S--- is going down!"
I'm not taking sides, but I guess the AA's aren't taking too kindly to becoming yesterdays minorities
That's why I've started reading the comments first, before replying - you've already said it, it is indeed funny.
OK then, they are feral people.
I'll bet part of the animosity/hatred has to do with Somalis getting to jump the line for public subsidized housing over the native born blacks. Due to Somalis refugee status. I saw an instance where Haitians were getting in ahead of native blacks
Well, technically, a Canadian is an American, of the "North and South America" variety.
A dictatorship remains in power by setting the subjects to fighting one another. Incidents like this are an intended outcome of our government's policies.
You are just staying ahead of me on purpose (American)
I can't help myself: it's a school day.
As the Professor said, "Good heavens, what DO they teach them in these schools?" Not geography, obviously, any more than they teach Plato.
No Lutherans ?
I did't lol— but my chin hit the floor, and then I just shook my head trying not to wake anyone else in the house with outbursts of foul language...
a little more coffee...then I might have laughed...
I'm in Eastern time, so everyone was up here.
This event puts Obama in a tough spot in making one of his racially divisive comments:
"If I had a son he would look like Omar oh wait I mean DeShawn oh wait I mean oh never mind"
Good point. Its not a problem until it leaks regularly into the neighborhoods of the our Betters. Until then these sorts of stories will be nothing more than bylines. However, as you pointed out (correctly) that its only a matter of time until it gets there.
They weren't 'allowed' to come in. They were brought in. Ask the Black Caucus what they were thinking when they demanded it. Who knows why they chose Minnesota and Maine? Neither location makes sense. Nothing about the project makes any sense. The poor immigrants didn't know about running water, washing machines, escalators and certainly knew nothing about snow and freezing temperatures.
Great, now we have tribal wars over here! ;-)
If the 8%/20% numbers are indicative of the racial makeup of the kids in the cafeteria, then 7 out of 10 kids were not part of the fight or joined in just for fun.
Yeah, die-ver-shitty at it's finest.
So, let's work out the de facto definition of "African American", since obviously it isn't "an american of african origin"...
Just from observation, what I can tell from their self definition is this:
"a person with skin 'darker than a paper bag' whose cultural tendencies tend to be aligned with that of the urban, anti-Western Civilization thug"?
Must have come over on a Carnival Cruise! ;-)
"I havent used the term Amish for awhile. I think it was widely criticized."
Posting rules prevent describing what is taught in school today.
I put them in the same category as kitchen workers who put poison into the soup.
"It was just another Amish riot in a Blue City"
One can call a spade a spade or one can call it an ef shove. Please not Amish tho Thank you
The feds are allowing muslims by the thousands, probably tens of thousands to emigrate here since 911. They are building cultural bunkers and education bunkers and they come from all countries

Zembrin helps lift your mood and keeps you motivated
- Combats stress, anxiousness and eases tension
- Promotes attention, focus, motivation, and concentration
- Non-habit forming and non-drowsy
You know when your mood isn't as bright as it usually is. Maybe you're feeling stressed and overwhelmed, which ultimately makes you grouchy and unmotivated.
Zembrin® helps lift your mood and promotes focus and attention
I've spent years searching for a natural mood lifter that I trust 100% and highly recommend. I was thrilled when I discovered Zembrin, the only patented extract of a succulent plant known by the San Bushmen people of South Africa as "kanna" (Sceletium tortuosum).
For centuries, the San Bushmen have traditionally used the kanna plant to enhance mood, relieve stress and anxiousness, and combat fatigue. They've even used the plants to relieve thirst and hunger. Zembrin, a unique extract of carefully selected Sceletium plants, increases the levels of serotonin and serotonin neurotransmission, which explains why it has been a favorite of the San Bushmen for hundreds of years.
Zembrin's alkaloids also inhibit phosphodiesterase 4 (PDE4), an enzyme in the body that regulates an important messenger substance in the cells of the nervous and immune systems called cAMP. By inhibiting PDE4, more cAMP is available, which has been shown to produce beneficial effects on mood in stressful situations.
Zembrin promotes attention, focus, and motivation
Plus, Zembrin supports healthy cognitive function. In a randomized, double-blind clinical study, 25 mg of Zembrin was shown to help promote attention, focus, motivation, and concentration compared to a placebo. Best of all, it's non-drowsy and non-habit forming. You get the full research dose in my mood-enhancing supplement.
One of the only sources of Zembrin delivered right to your door
What makes Zembrin so unique is that it's the only patented Sceletium in the world and the only legal source of supply. Plus, Zembrin is the only Sceletium endorsed by the San Bushmen. It's extremely difficult to get access to. In fact, my Zembrin formula is one of the ONLY sources of Zembrin.
I highly encourage you to give Zembrin a try. The small capsule is super easy to take every day. I have taken Zembrin myself and found that you'll notice a difference in your mood and ability to focus, concentrate, and make decisions.

Science and Quality
Traditional Use of Sceletium
- Plants of the genus Sceletium were used for relief of thirst and hunger, to combat fatigue, as medicines, and for social and spiritual purposes by the San hunter-gatherers (historically referred to as Bushmen) and Khoi pastoralists (historically referred to as Hottentots) for millennia before the earliest written reports of the uses of the these plants by European explorers and settlers.1
- Also called kanna, channa, or kougoed, Sceletium has been used by the indigenous San people for relaxation, stress relief, to promote sleep, and even to soothe colicky and teething infants for thousands of years. There is no documented or oral evidence that its use causes tolerance or addiction, and there is no withdrawal during periods of scarcity.
- Since 1685, European settlers have recorded the use of Sceletium, calling it a "restorative, cheerer of the soul," a "good sedative," a calming herb, and (an herb or plant) that elevates mood and decreases anxiety, stress, and tension.
- Zembrin is a standardized extract produced from an in-house elite proprietary plant selection of Sceletium tortuosum and contains a mix of the most desirable actives based on 12 years of research and development. Zembrin is standardized to 4 major alkaloids.
- In vitro studies show potential mechanisms for how Sceletium may be used in products for stress, anxiety, and mood and may also provide a rationale for the apparent lack of dependence seen with long-term Sceletium use. Sceletium has been shown to act as a PDE4 inhibitor and as a serotonin-uptake inhibitor.2
- Serotonin is one of the major neurotransmitters in the body. It plays an important role in sleep, pain thresholds, blood clotting, heartbeat, blood vessel constriction, libido, hunger/satiety, and mood. There are 17 types of serotonin receptors found all over the body, each causing different biological effects.
- Serotonin reuptake inhibitors block the action of the serotonin transporter, increasing intracellular levels of serotonin and increasing serotonin neurotransmission. Specific constituents of Zembrin are known serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SRIs), which explains the traditional use of Zembrin as a mood lifter.
- A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover clinical study examined how Zembrin can help manage the stresses of everyday life by enhancing cognitive function.
- 20 healthy adults were used in the study. They were divided into two groups: Placebo or Zembrin. They were given 25 mg of Zembrin or a placebo daily for 3 weeks. Then they had a 3 week washout period (no capsules). Then the groups were switched and given either placebo or Zembrin for 3 weeks.
- The VitalSign® test was used to evaluate 10 different types of neuropsychological behavior at the end of each 3 weeks of treatment.
- There were no side effects. No nausea or vomiting and no elevated pulse, blood pressure, or body weight.
- The subjects taking Zembrin had significant changes (compared to placebo) in 3 out of the 10 VitalSign® tests: cognitive set flexibility, executive function, and processing speed.
- Cognitive set flexibility = being able to adapt rapidly to changing directions and use the information given intelligently. This is necessary in decision-making, impulse control, and planning/strategizing.
- Executive function = exercising initiative, judgment, and discipline. This is a spontaneous ability to take action and have goal-directed behavior.
- Processing speed = speed of scanning, reading, writing, and reasoning. This is the ability to perform these tasks when high mental concentration is required.
- Zembrin showed an increase in cognitive flexibility, executive function, and processing speed.
- These results provide evidence that Zembrin has the potential to improve quality of life of healthy people who may have cognitive functions compromised due to daily stress.
- Zembrin is the first of its kind of Sceletium supplement and holds several distinctions:
- Only patented Sceletium in the world.
- Only legal source of supply through a biodiversity initiative.
- Only standardized proprietary seed, plants, and extract.
- Only Sceletium export permit granted (Permit No. IEP 0001) from the South African government in recognition of the producer's socially responsible and environmentally sustainable practices. Royalties from the sale of Zembrin will be paid to the South African San Council, with 50% guaranteed to be distributed to the Paulshoek and Nourivier communities.
- Only Sceletium with the seal of endorsement by the San Bushmen.
- Only Sceletium authorized under license for commercialization in the USA.
- All studies, safety data, claims, patents, bioprospecting permits, and export permits will be related to the proprietary standardized extract Zembrin and is not applicable to other forms of Sceletium.

"My specs= Size 11.Got these super discounted in-store and loved them. True to size. Comfy with any socks, no friction or rubbing. As someone with flat feet, these do have arch support in them. Meaning it makes long work days a little longer and I can't wear them while exercising as my legs tire easier.Four stars! Overall I'd recommend them if you're not doing a lot of strenuously walking, as they are comfortable on my feet but not my legs, and if you are looking for something more fashion forward!

Grant: Texas Rangers will give Mike Olt a 'real look' in the outfield
Texas Rangers beat writer Evan Grant answered reader questions during a live chat Tuesday. Here are some highlights:
Mike Olt needs to be given a shot somewhere to get his power bat in the lineup. I do not expect Nelson Cruz to be with the Ranges in 2014. Why not see if Olt can play rightfield just as Moreland was asked to do at times? Are the Rangers considering this?
Evan Grant: Olt has 3 gloves this spring, one of which will be used to work in the outfield. He will get a significant look there, especially since Nelson Cruz will be gone for some time to participate in the World Baseball Classic and because he's under investigation for violating MLB's policy on Performance Enhancing Drugs. He is going to get a real look in the outfield.
Would you rather trade for Price or Stanton?
Evan Grant: Well, I think this is a fairy tale, so I'll say I'd rather trade for Bar Rafeali. She's nicer to look at than either one. .... But if you made me pick only baseball players, I'd go with Stanton I think.
Love his approach, love his hustle, but is David Murphy an everyday player?
Evan Grant: Absolutely. He got enough at-bats to qualify for the batting title and hit .304. Impressive. And he seems determined to get better.

Cute... BUT
"Placed an online order to get these. I was so excited because I loved the color BUT once I opened the shipping box the smell from the artifical fabric was so horrible that I had to put them in my garage. Will be returning to store."

Not Turquoise and run small!
"My biggest issue is that they are called Turquoise on the web site and look turquoise on the computer. However, the color label on the box is Jade and they are definitely more green than blue. These are very cute shoes though. Beware that they do run 1/2 size small. After reading reviews on other sites about this brand, I bought 7.5 even though I normally wear a 7. The 7.5 fit very well. I debated keeping them but I am taking them back because I really wanted turquoise shoes, not green. Luckily, I can return them to the store and had not paid shipping."

Pretty Design
"These wedges are very comfy and I can walk in them for long periods of time. It has a nice pattern to them. Very pretty shoes. I chose the black color, it goes with every outfit. My foot does not slide forward like some other wedges might. Overall a great shoe to be worn both formally or casually!"
