Review: Akai APC40 MK2 First Look
The original Akai APC40 is one of the rare breed of products in the computer music age to achieve iconic status. Launched in 2009, the APC40 (followed by its more compact sibling, the APC20) was, along with the Novation Launchpad, the first dedicated, plug-and-play Ableton Live controller to hit the mainstream market. Five years later, Akai are releasing a re-imagining of the original APC40, the Mk2. Will it be as widely adopted as its forebear? We spent some time with it to try to find out.

Bills trade Stevie Johnson to 49ers
by Joe Buscaglia
posted May 9 2014 3:28PM
An underdog story that was a favorite of fans as he developed into a starting wide receiver, former seventh-round pick and long-time Buffalo Bills wide receiver Stevie Johnson has been traded to the San Francisco 49ers, according to league sources.
Leading up to the draft WGR learned that if the Bills used their first round pick on a wide receiver they would immediately look to trade Johnson away from the team. Buffalo traded up to select Clemson wideout Sammy Watkins, and less than a day later Johnson is on his way to the 49ers.
The compensation for the Bills, is a conditional 2015 fourth-round selection that could turn into a third-round pick if production-based incentives are met. The level of production to meet those conditions are unknown to this point in time. According to a league source, the deal all came together Friday morning.
However, for Buffalo it recoups one of the two picks sent to the Cleveland Browns on Thursday night in order to move up to the fourth overall selection. The Bills dealt their 2015 first and fourth-round picks to move up in the order.
Johnson, 27, has started each of the past four seasons for the Bills. He is the only player in Bills history to have three consecutive 1,000 yard receiving seasons. Over the course of his six seasons in Buffalo, he had 301 catches for 3,832 yards and 28 touchdowns.
The Bills now have added four wide receivers in the past two offseasons. Their top four now consists of Watkins, Mike Williams, Robert Woods and Marquise Goodwin.

|In response to Thanks for reply..more info, 1/4" above floor rock steady with shims
: I had a similar situation. I would strongly advise against shims/caulk bead, you want the water closet to be absolutely stable to avoid leaks at the wax seal and/or seasickness when you are using it. My solution ultimately was to cut off the PVC pipe below the old flange (using a Dremel tool with a cutoff wheel working around the inside of the pipe) and adding the new flange with a new coupling. It was a nasty little project but well worth the trouble. Good Luck! CM
: : Terry what a great site!
: : My flange site sits too high now that new floor is in. The toilet needs plastic shims to sit correctly. Should I leave it as is or should a plumber reset flange which is PVC pipe. I had an old tile floor before which I guess was higher.
: : I was also thinking of a nice silicone caulk bead aound underside of toilet, allowing it to set up for a while then replacing toilet over flange may help.
: : thanks in advance!

Jets Sign Scheifele
Kent Wilson
October 03 2011 08:22AM
News on twitter from various quarters this morning is the Jets have signed first rounder Mark Scheifele to an entry level contract. It's pretty standard procedure for new prospects to get inked relatively quickly, but the timing suggests the youngster may have convinced the club to keep him around rather than send him back to junior.
Although there have been some well founded concerns this offseason about the choice of Scheifele at 7th overall, the kid has managed to put some of them to bed with his impressive showing during the Jets pre-season. Frequently one of the more dangerous offensive players on the ice for Winnipeg depsite his youth and average skating, Scheifele displayed the hands and hockey sense that allowed him to score 22-goals and 75-points for the Barrie Colts last year.
Of course, this doesn't necessarily mean that Scheifele is in Winnipeg to stay. The new contract means the club can choose to audition the rookie for a nine-game windown before sending him back to junior without starting the clock on his entry-level contract. That would be the prudent move by the organization since most teens struggle to keep their heads above water once the puck drops for real. Unless Winnipeg is convinced Scheifele is this seasons Jeff Skinner and is going to garner 60+ points in the club's top-six rotation, then junior is probably the more apt destination for him at this time.
October 03 2011, 09:14AM
I called a salary between 1.6 and 1.7M last Wednesday , so I'm not surprised in the slightest that a deal was completed this morning. The team wants to look at him for at least 9 games to see what they really have, and even if he gets sent down after that audition, he'll pocket about 200k in salary and bonuses. Win-win, I'd say.
October 03 2011, 10:28AM
Great deal to get this kid, this deal pretty much sums up that he will start in the NHL and get his nine games minimum.
Great to hear. Teams need to get playing value from players while they are relatively young and cheap so hope they keep him up with the Jets. As a born-and-raised Winnipegger now in Calgary, I know that the stigma attached to playing in a "cold" city (see Oilers, Edmonton) is still there for some players so developing and using your draft choices is wise.
Great post. To say that I am surprised with Scheifle to date would be something of an understatement. I nearly broke my computer when I heard his name called and Couterier still on the board (not mention Hamilton and Murphy) Still, I wonder if he might turn into a player. His speed is average and that was by preseason standards, but he always seemed to be near the action and his point total was surprise.
Question, do you guys track how the other top 10 guys have done this preseason. I know that Nugent-Hopkins gets a lot of press, but what about the other top guys? Just curious.

County pitches meals tax to legislators
By Tom Lappas, Citizen Editor 11/15/12
Henrico County officials made their pitch for a 4-percent meals tax to the county's General Assembly delegation last week, telling the group that the proposed tax was their last resort to create revenue and close an $18-million shortfall in next year's budget before raising real estate taxes, cutting services or laying off employees.
Henrico lacks the authority to implement such a tax on its own, so officials want the General Assembly to grant it that authority, with the provision that the county's Board of Supervisors must unanimously support it.
A total of 204 other Virginia localities already have meals taxes, including 45 other counties – four of which were specifically granted the right to implement the tax by the General Assembly.
"We have evaluated all the alternatives, and this has the very least consequence," County Manager Virgil Hazelett told the nine delegates and senators who attended. "People will object – some people – but they will not object to police officers, to teachers [and other county services]."
Hazelett and Finance Director Brandon Hinton presented an impassioned argument to the Assembly delegation, recounting how in just their past three fiscal years, they have trimmed nearly $97 million from their total budget and eliminated or frozen 721 vacant government and school positions in an attempt to compensate for $84 million in lost revenue from declining real estate taxes and state funding.
The county also has refunded $317 million in debt through bond refinancing since 2009 and has weathered the storm without cutting services, laying off any employees or raising taxes, Hazelett said.
But a significant jump in the amount localities must pay into the Virginia Retirement System on behalf of employees looms large on the horizon, as do road maintenance and construction needs in Henrico that total $418 million but have no current funding source.
County officials have pointed to the fact that Henrico is the only state locality that maintains its own secondary road system but lacks the authority to collect a meals tax. (Arlington, the only other county that maintains its own roads, was granted the right to implement such a tax in 1990.) Locally, Richmond imposes a 6 percent meals tax, Ashland a 5 percent tax and Louisa County a 4 percent tax.
Henrico officials estimate that about 40 percent of all prepared meals purchased in the county are bought by non-Henrico residents, which would lessen the impact of such a tax on county residents. And unlike a real estate tax increase, residents would be free to avoid a meals tax by not dining out or by limiting their dining excursions, Board chairman Dick Glover said.
"A meals tax is not something we'd impose on them that they can't dodge if they want to," Glover said.
A 4-percent meals tax would generate between $18 million and $20 million annually, Hazelett estimated. He and board members told the Assembly delegation that they likely would not designate that money for any one particular use but rather apply it as needed.
Delegate Jimmie Massie wondered aloud whether it would be difficult to convince other members of the General Assembly to support a tax increase for just one locality.
Deputy County Manager John Vithoulkas, who will assume Hazelett's position in mid-January, suggested that the delegation could take another route by supporting the passage of language that would authorize all counties that maintain their own road systems to have the same taxing authorities as cities. (Cities inherently have the right to implement meals, cigarette and admissions taxes.)
Henrico could enact a meals tax if a majority of voters supported the idea in a referendum, but they seem leery of trying that route again after voters defeated it in 2005 by 153 votes.
Varina District Supervisor Tyrone Nelson told the delegation that without the Assembly's approval of the issue, Henrico's would not survive unscathed.
"If you can't support a meals tax, then our issues are not going to go away," he said. "This is a last resort. A tax is going to come up or we will have to cut services or lay people off. We don't do that in Henrico, and we don't want to do this, but this is where we are. We need your help."

We have casual Fridays,,but your actually not allowed to wear denim or anything casual. So everyone just dresses the exact same.

That was a fun conversation. So a group of my female employees did it one time, they all came in in skinny jeans, came into my office one by one till they were all in there grinning at me, just so they " could see the look on my face".

September 14 2013 08:46AM
Nail Yakupov is a splendid hockey player and an absolutely incredible quote. He's a flashy guy with a great deal of loyalty and continues to endear himself to Oilers Nation by saying exactly the right thing at the right time. The result is a growing bond between player and fanbase--I dare say that if the Yak Celly reaction happened today, critics would have been quiet that night (and that's not a bad thing). Nail Yakupov is larger than life, an emerging legend, and it's our good fortune to be along for the ride.
When we last left Mr. Yakupov, he was humbling NHL opposition nightly (fact: Nail Yakupov scored 11 April goals in 14 games during that month, effectively putting his stamp on the most impressive rookie season in the league without actually getting the award--something Oiler players must be used to by now) and having a grand time. The calendar year 2013 really did give us a wonderful view of the young Russian.
However, there's also a downside to the coverage Yakupov gets, and I can't help thinking it might be a bias or language/culture barrier. An example would be January 2, 2013 where Nail's being unavailable to the media started quite the snow storm from media and the phrase "prima donna" was attached to the young man by legendary writer Cam Cole.
Fast forward to now, and a brilliant piece by Joanne Ireland has Yak City passing on the opportunity to wear #10 out of respect for his first captain, Shawn Horcoff. I think we all--media, fans--sometimes jump to conclusions and that's human nature. However, in this case, I think we can probably put forward the possibility that "prima donna" was perhaps thrown out there a little too quickly.
Not a big deal, and God knows you can browse through my back pages and find any and all missteps, but I think it should be mentioned that the European hockey player appears to get fewer breaks from the North American media on all kinds of things. The Staples article mentions a moment in time when this may have happened, the Celly against the Kings and reaction to it would certainly be another. Good grief that was an incredible moment, anyone in Rexall or watching at home would have done that celebration (and did! my cat is STILL on the ceiling!), and I do wonder if the reaction would have been as swift and negative from some circles if Nail Yakupov had been born and raised in Winnipeg.
Joanne Ireland is a helluva writer, she really is. I've been reading her for decades, have met her exactly once, and yet if you add up the reasonable and the rational Ireland ranks at the top of local writers and interesting stories delivered. Her Yakupov piece did it again: with fewer than 750 words (attention bloggers like me) she conveyed a very touching conversation with a teenager from half a world away who has come to know the value of a long term captain and honors it in a unique and personal way.
Few articles have impressed me more than this one. An Edmonton writer finds a compelling story and writes it beautiflly, a Russian teenager's words showing respect and humility. I'm hopeful we can remember this article when Nail Yakupov or another Euro player does something that rattles the jewellry in the free seats.
Ireland's article is here, it is very much recommended to all.

I associate 10 with Esa Tikkanen when he was an Oiler. Sure could use a player like him now.

- Anyways I think a filler that took place in one of the other 4 main nations so we could learn something new about them.
Maybe another Sand Sibling arc with Gaara's former student and Temari going on some critical missions.
Or a flashback arc where we see Jiraiya in his younger days traveling but I cant get into this too much because of spoiler limitations here.
Fire type
What chakra type are you?
something with the young Sannins and the Third going on mission and half way through the Filler they become of age(adults) and go on mission in the War
and they cant do flashbacks like itachi and stuff because they dont know if the autho of manga will write those flashbacks later in his manga, so if they put it in the anime how stupid wouldnt it be when author writes something totally different in his manga and then they have to put that on scree nas well
it would be an idea for a filler ep if they had it based on the akastuki. Would allow viewers to get a better understanding of each individual member and c where they originated from and etc.

It is also known for its antioxidant, antibiotic and antiviral capabilities. In general, honey is 18-20% water and is comprised of the monosaccharide glucose and fructose; vitamins A, B-complex, C, D, E, K, and beta-carotene, as well as minerals and enzymes. Raw, unprocessed honey has the most medicinal and nutritional value.Honey darkens with age and heat, loses some of its delicate aromas and heat sensitive enzymes.

YS Organic Bee Farms - 100% Honey is a bee product that speaks for itself; totally pure, unheated, unprocessed, raw; accepting nothing less than the highest in quality!Where and what type of honey plants bees forage on will determine honey color, level of nutrients, fragrance and taste. Extreme cold region honey is lighter in color than tropical honey. Such wild honey plants as acacia, alfalfa, basswood, and sweet clover produce an almost colorless honey (known as water color) which when crystallized turns almost white. The strength of crystallization (hardness) determines the level of live state nutrients and heat sensitive enzymes. A powerful natural occurring energy stored in the extreme cold region allows this honey to crystallize within a three weeks maximum period upon extraction. The harder the honey the better. Tropical honey will never be bale to match the nutrients and strength stored in this solidified honey. About YS Organic Bee Farms Y.S.

Katie Davis is a designer with Stantec in Boston. In the last three years, Davis has provided humanitarian relief in Haiti through Architecture for Humanity, and designed a school for Port-au-Prince through Islamic Relief Worldwide. "My intentions in Haiti, at the most basic level, were about learning as much as I could," she says. "And designing a school on site with what was readily available was a very steep learning curve."
Architecture can be resilient and it can be sustainable, but it's a humanitarian pursuit at base level—it's about helping people and providing them with something functional as well as something desirable. Designing Lycée Jean Marie Vincent for Port-au-Prince was about assessing what was lost, as well as the ongoing needs of the students, their parents, teachers, and the community at large since the earthquake took a toll that spared no one.
But it was also about finding long-term solutions for a generation of students—like introducing simple composting, bio-systems, and solar power to improve the country's disposal, sanitation, and electricity. Islamic Relief Worldwide had funded the rebuilding of four schools in Haiti, and the one I worked on was both the largest of the four and the precedent for the other schools. It was more about creating a set of standards for ourselves at Islamic Relief, and working with the local municipalities and firms, to move forward with responsible design recommendations that were specific to each site and condition.
You also have to use what's available to you on the ground, on site. You have to use what makes sense to the local economy, including working with its local material and physical resources. One thing that everyone seems to agree on is that you have to design seismically. So we worked with structural engineers on the ground and made sure what we were doing aligned with their recommendations. Rebar is all over the place now, which is great, but part of our mission was to teach others how to build with it properly. And local metalwork was everywhere—intricate pieces created by hammering and bending is a traditional craft done by many Haitian artisans—so we found it a great fit for the beautiful and secure façade elements, such as the school's windows and doors.
It took—and is still taking—a lot of patience and hard work to collaborate and coordinate the needs, construction, and systems because, even in the Third World, design matters—and design can make functional things stronger because they are useful and inspire others. We want this school to be a beacon for the community, for Haiti, and for the international community.
The funny thing is, when I was in school myself I didn't do much related to the school building type. But I've always been interested in humanitarian design, how simple spaces can be designed to be functional and beautiful, like adapting modular blocks to different programs and carving interesting moments out of these spaces. —As told to William Richards

Naturalizer Bree Sandal

Beautiful but Uncomfortable
"I purchased these online thinking that Naturalizer = comfort and quality. These definitely are high quality shoes, and they are beautiful- the contrast stitching is gorgeous and the shape of the shoe is incredibly elegant. However, the shoe wasn't holding to my foot well (it ran long and I felt I couldn't find the ideal setting on the side buckle). Most problematically, the upper leather was very tough, and towards the toes it was uncomfortably hard. I sadly returned these but for someone more willing to take the risk of breaking them in (probably best done with some socks) then these shoes are for you!"

Loved them but...
"I'm normally a pretty solid size 6, but unfortunately these were a bit small so I had to return them. The back of my heel stuck out about a cm!Will definitely try them out again in the near future, they looked super cute and were very comfortable."

When it comes to the Edmonton Oilers, it seems everyone is looking "long term." Ralph Krueger is taking the longer view in regard to Nail Yakupov's development, and Ladislav Smid is willing to stay with the Oilers--wants to--but also wants the security of a long term deal. Does Ralph have it right? Is Laddy worth a long term deal?
Ralph Krueger is taking things slow with Nail Yakupov. Is it a good idea? Yakupov is a tremendously talented young player, but he's been sitting during most games with the score close in the third period.
Despite being a #1 overall selection, Yakupov is a long way from being the most used rookie in the NHL:
There are a lot of players getting more TOI per game than Yakupov, and I'd guess most of it comes in the third period. Why would Ralph do this? Well, one logical conclusion would be that young Nail is not familiar enough with many of the disciplines of the NHL game to execute them consistently. Thus coach Krueger goes with Lennart Petrell (or, unfortunately last night, Mike Brown) or Ryan Smyth when he tightens the bench. I have no quarrel with it, a lot of what Yakupov is experiencing now might have to do with previous coaching styles and tactics. Not every #1 overall selection arrives in the NHL as capable as Taylor Hall, and Yakupov's potential can only be helped by bringing him along at a pace that matches his development.
Backing off the Yak in terms of playing time may also protect him from injury, something the Oilers were unable to do with Hall and the Nuge.
I'm fine with sitting Yakupov in the third period, but would prefer the Oilers had a very capable veteran--someone who won't take a penalty--in the role to replace him. I don't expect this will be an issue next season.
We talked about the importance of signing Ladislav Smid not long ago, and it's good news to know the Oilers have started negotiations with the young veteran. Smid would be one of the very valuable free agents this summer if it gets that far, and Edmonton is extremely vulnerable at the position. Quoting Edmonton Sun's Robert Tychkowski in an article from yesterday:
- "It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to be an unrestricted free agent," he said, adding he's looking for a four- or five-year deal. "I've worked hard for it. I would like to be here, when you see the talent and the future of this team, it's very bright. I'd like to be here but it's a business. A business for them and a business for me, as well. I would prefer to stay here. We'll see what's going to happen."
My guess is he gets signed, but there might be some sticker shock among the fanbase. Smid's holding some nice cards.
The time for rebuilding is done, and the time for team building is here. The actions of Ralph Krueger on the ice--being perhaps overly patient with Yakupov--and the actions of the management trio off the ice in regard to Smid, will be a major story of the spring and summer and the team build.
We wait.
Lowetide at High Noon is on Team 1260 today (noon to 2pm Edmonton time) featuring:
- Rob Vollman from ESPN and Hockey Prospectus. We'll talk about his brilliant player usage charts and specifically look at the Oilers. Their big blue bubbles (good) are in the "two way sector" and are youngsters, and their big red bubbles (bad) are in the less sheltered sector and are older, more mature players.
- Scott Taylor from Winnipeg. Scott is a legendary writer and personality and always good for insight and a hearty laugh. We'll discuss our national obsession: knocking the Leafs out of the playoffs. Also, some Jets talk (they are a strange team) and I'll ask some deadline questions.
- Michael Parkatti from Boys On the Bus is doing outstanding work and we'll talk about some of the innovative ideas and findings he is bringing to the Oilogosphere.
- David Staples from Cult of Hockey. We'll talk about the Oilers and their playoff chances, look at the trade deadline and I'll ask about Ryan Whitney's recent improvement.
- Jason Strudwick from Team 1260 will give us insight into the Oilers and this stretch run. I'll ask about Horcoff's future, Krueger's 3rd period decisions and what the Oilers have to do in order to close the deal on games like last night.
- Kent Simpson from the Team 1260 Oil Kings pbp team. The OK won their 50th game last night, that's two seasons in a row. I'll ask Kent about the differences between the two teams and we'll talk Lazar, Moroz, Gernat and others.
Hope you can join me, should be fun.
Bonus points for a second page FIST?
Nice article, thanks for the insights.
I have an issue with the fact that we arent helping Yakupov legitimately try to win the Calder and we arent helping J Schultz legitimately try to win the Calder, I cant accept that we are so weak as a team that we cant devise a few set plays for these two and give them all the cherry ice time we can find, and its to late now to start this season long consistant support of our guys they deserve.
Yakupov has had a rough introduction and I am not hapy about it dammit, first we shut the kids celebrations down by not aggressively defending them and get in his head then we definitively stop him from being able to compete for the Calder by refusing to allow him the minutes and force him to watch his peers who he eclipses in every way kick his ass.
This is BS, what kind of a team is so shallow as to be negligent enough to not celebrate its players and support them in every way when they compete with thweir peers, this is a dog eat dog internal mentality Edmonton has developed and evolved and it is far far from being optimal for Rookies or pretty much any player to feel safe and supported, we make it impossible to fell loyalty and committment because of the way the "business" BS has been jammed down our throats for decades , as if other teams dont also have a business side to their franchises.
Yakupov has played more than well enough to deserve more minutes every night, we have some obligation to give him the support he needs, and Ralph had to be forced to put him with Gagner and MPS as it is and even at that the stubborn coach kicked them to the 3rd line, which as Ralph Krueger very well knows destroys the dynamic offense they were creating earlier in the year, I am calling them as I see em till the end of the year.
Ralph has made a disaster out of our line combos this year and its that simple it is the absolute weakest part of his overall skillset by a longshot, and he has an entire book of well rounded excuses to back himself up with when he is questioned about the topic.
Results based my arse, this team has no results based policy whatsoever. If it did Yakupov would have been playing consistantly more minutes than he has been. Ralphs reasoning is baseless, a player like Nail can score a goal to balance a mistake he might make to allow one, but 97& of our roster cannot do this, he is a special talent and has been treated like crap by the coaching staff and I dont want to hear about Rookie mistakes we have seen many young men break into our lineup lately and I am sick of this cheap-arse coaches excuse for refusing to support Nail with minutes he has earned based on his results meaning his NHL level GOALS. Ralph tempers the reward and controls the dynamic in a totalitarian fashion and it is not respectfull in the least.
MPS-Gagner-Yakupov on the second line for the rest of the year just like Ralph bloody well knows he should have done to create even better 2nd line offense, since the 3rd game of the year it has been obvious that we were lacking tertiary scoring from the third line and we needed Smyth-Horcs-Hemmer to provide it, but Ralph balked, had he made the right moves wayyyyy back then we would have achieved tertiary scoring and been left with just the 1st line to kickstart to be running on all cylinders, and this only entailed adjusting Halls puck managment and going back to the scoring off the rush constant threat and providing Nuge with consistant solid system dynamics to work his offense off of to set up Hall and Ebbs. These are coaching issues and Ralph needs to be accountable for them. Yes he has made changes but he has also been extremely deceptive as to the catalysing influences behind those changes, he has lacked a specific degree of integrity in his explanations to the fans.
Ladislav Smid is in uncharted territory and needs to get some excellent advice from players who have been in his shoes, he has had a rough ride here contractually and it has been a long difficult upwards battle to get fair money because the Oilers began a program of psycological and dynamic warfare against laddy from the first day they signed him, tacticlly screwing with his mentality and development to always get the upper hand when contract time came, a really cheap arse way to run a hockey club, not good business practices as we are told so many bloody times by the Oil-luminatti.
I like Smid and want to see him stay here for another 4-5 years, but to be blunt after the crap he has taken here my defensive loyalty rises and i want to see him sink it as deeply into the Oilers wallet as he can this time and this means going for the big payday and looking out for himself, Laddy has an excellent reputation league wide and has excellent value and he needs to know this right now, he needs to remember he has his own personal future to consider first now, he has paid his dues at the Oilers office already. Yes we all know that if he asks for to much he will force a trade---- or will he? Maybe the Oilers undervalued him tacticlly through a long process of manipulation and now have their sneaky little backs to the wall and deserve to pay the Piper finally. I say its Laddys checkmate and he needs to ask for 5 mill a year and make em ante-up, even if its just to shore things up now and they plan to trade his contract later he needs to jam them hard right now while he is in the position to do so a position he earned the hard way.
Dont worry about Laddy he holds high league value and no matter what happens we will not be hurt as a team as we will definately get an equal return on him, we need to worry about gagner because as far as i am concerned he and laddy are in the same boat, they have repeatedly taken shoddy terms for this team and now they both need to hit the Oilers low and hard because next time round the kids will be breaking the bank and there will be literally no wiggle room to work with. At the end of the day these men need to earn a living and sacrificing to stay here doesnt gaurantee a Stanley Cup by any means, a player who has already cashed in on his prime payday might want to sacrifice some of his salary to come here now and roll the dice, but young guys on the way up negotiating and establishing their prime value CANNOT take that hit at that point in their fiscal career curves and the Oilers dam well know it, I say Karma should smack the Oilers on their arse hard and repeatedly.
Gagner has evolved into the teams leader and it is what it is already it cannot be stopped, and Laddy has bled for this team since day one and will till his career is over and we all know this beyond a shadow of a doubt, it is what it is and cannot be changed. The Oilers have lost dynamic control of these two men, the team has had its full cycle of knocking their value down as much as possible as their careers evolved dynamiclly and fiscally and now the worm has turned in a huge way.
Ralph Krueger is learning how easy it is to find himself exposed under the intense focus of Intuative Dynamic Analysis and now Kevin Lowe is feeling the heat a little, welcome back to the club kevin its been a long time since we danced. The manipulation tactics that were historiclly used here will no longer work for you as i will clearly and precisely outline the dynamic sequences you utilise so the Players can defend themselves from the high levels of manipulation and the lack of integrity that we have traditionally seen expemplified by managment here over the last few decades. Sooner or later you will clue in that promoting me is the only escape you have, the only rock to hide under. An Intuit sees through you by proxy, and cant even help it.
Yakupov deserves to be treated like the Calder favorite that he is and so does J Schultz, and they both need teammate support in every game and they both need minutes from the coach in every game, we need peripheral motivation to get back in the hunt and we are failing to recognise and utilise opportunitys that are presenting themselves, we are missing the boat dynamiclly yet again.
Ask Mr. Brown what he thinks of Yaks celebrations and what he would do if some lumbering oaf tried to snuff the excitement from the kid, just ask him as it exposes Ralphs lack of accountability as the dynamic tactician of this team. Ask Quenville or ask Sutter if they would hold back a talent like Yakupov if they had already made the decision as a professional coach to have him on the roster as an asset, and then again see Ralphs song and dance exposed as the beginnning of the long term manipulation process this dynamic action ALWAYS catalyses here in Edmonton, checkmate Kevin Lowe, get off the kids back and let him earn his way like you had a chance to do, how soon you forget your own career curve opportunitys.
Put it this way , we have coached and managed ourselves into a corner here, we have maybe two or three games tops where the managment can function in denial legitimately but then is a firedrill and the players will recieve 100% latitude to go for it any way they can. It is nice to see some dynamicly balanced lines being put out on the ice, and it has been nice to see Ralph slowly ever so slowly learning how to run this system optimally, but at the end of the day we need to remember our committment to each others development in terms of individual peer groups and career curves. Gagner wants to smash kane, and Hall wants to smash Seguin and Yakupov wants to smash his peers, we cannot forget that we are the support system for all of these dynamic goals which are simmering away somewhere beneath the surface of these mens personas, they are all competitors and winners at heart and MUST be given the chance to excell, it is as critical to this teams evolution as any other single factor and no one is willing to admit this or deal with it in a tangible manner. We need some swagger and we need to earn it by achieving landmark goals outside our locker room amongst our peers. This means calder Trophys and All-Star appearances and Team Canada appearances and trips to NHL Awards night, but the only way anyone will ever get to these spots to represent us all is if we grow a set and start fighting to put them there. We need to learn to celebrate our own assets and each other a lot more, we need to recognise when we have an assdet the system can showcase and we need to do so. For godssakes dont tell me this team has tried to set yakupov up consistantly so we could see his shot utilised consistantly as a weapon, no way no how folks, it just hasnt happened, and if Ralph tries to say so his nose needs to grow one inch. You see we are failing to recognise this opportunity and are failing to capitalise on it and Ralph can pull the coaching decision card but he CANNOT give a reasonable and sensical rationale for his actions that cannot be debunked useing Intuative Dynamic Analysis.
Now that we finally have Yakupov with the right players maybe Ralph can stop trying to defend his own poor decisions and put his pride aside for the team long enough to put these three back in the 2nd line position where they belong. Ralph intentionally puts them on the 3rd line to hinder the success he has been told would manifest itself when they were united, give it up Ralph and stop trying to submarine the lines ability to feed you the BadMedicine you have coming, put em on the 2nd line and let them light it up, take your medicine like a man. And leave them there for christsakes.
Laddy, its been a pleasure watching you for so many years, and yes pal you have earned the right to bust a move if you need to, you deserve the money now and have an obligation to yourself to take it, in fact you must do so. I know this organisation needs you and your loyalty more than they admit but truth be told they cant reverse themselves out of this dynamic unless they open up Katzs wallet wide. And that being what it is I would have to say things are really out of your hands and your agent can handle things from here, let your fiscal advisors help you now more than ever in your career. And remember the NHL is evolving into a league where standup defense will be critical and your style supports this particular style perfectly, you are the stay at home component that supports a standup hitter like every team will have on every d-pairing very very soon.
Yak has recently become more physical and has also began cruising through shooting lanes and hot areas more spreading the defenses out using his sphere of influence, he is so good that he evolves immediatly if given the rope to do so, he is the type of player who has the ability to correct his mistakes within a few minutes if given the chance and if denied the chance he will internalise the pressure you moron managers. Sure sure, dont tell me , thats exactly why you are trying to keep the pressure off him right? It isnt a long term manipulation tacitc righhhht? The jig is up we are out of time and we need to ride these men for all they are worth and take every risk imaginable , the time is now not later, if I dont see Yakupov and Schultz getting prime minutes and shooting the puck tonight I am benching Ralph and his crew and flying Nelson and his boys in for a few games so the coaching staff can have a closer look at how things look from upstairs,ha ha ha ha.

Students at St. Olaf Linguistics Symposium.
Linguistics is the scientific study of the human capacity for language—a system of communication which, as far as we can tell, is uniquely human.
As such, the study of language sheds particularly interesting light on what it means to be human, and the study of linguistics provides a new perspective from which to understand this uniquely human behavior.
Since language is part of almost every aspect of human activities, linguistic knowledge can be applied to many areas:
Especially students in the following areas should consider courses in linguistics:

City Shoes
"I bought these at a DSW store because I just needed a new pair of street shoes but they turned into so much MORE! So I bought 2 more pairs online! I use them for running around town, at work when I am on my feet all day and at the gym during my work outs! So cute and light weight! I love the colors. I have had my first pair for 3 months now and they are still in great shape! I find them to be very supportive and comfortable. My feet are slightly wide and although these shoes are not wides, they offer great support on width. I where an 8/8.5 and the 8.5 are a perfect fit. They also breath and keep your feet cool so if you are in clod weather I would suggest a thick sock."

The Red Storm (18-11, 12-2) claimed a pair of double-up victories, 6-3 and 4-2, over the Sea Warriors to open a one-game lead over Azusa Pacific for the top spot in the PacWest.
DSU was offensively balanced with Drew McLaughlin, Tyler Blair and Kris Kaplan each recording three hits over the course of the two games.
In the first game, the Storm struck with two runs in the second inning when Yuto Kata plated Blair with an RBI groundout and Kaplan scored on a wild pitch.
The Red Storm then scored two more runs in the fifth when Trey Kamachi hit an RBI single and Kevin Kline followed with a double to left center.
In the sixth inning, Dixie State pushed across two more runs to take a 6-0 lead. McLaughlin doubled to straight away center field cashing in Ty Johnson and Kata.
Junior right-hander Chance Abrath threw six hitless innings before running into trouble in the seventh. HPU's Kevin Lenik blasted a two-run home run highlighting a three-run frame. Taylor Stone worked out of a jam with the bases loaded inducing two groundball force outs at home and a liner to third.
Stone, Matt Hill and Evan Parker combined to keep the HPU bats quiet over the final three innings. Hill and Parker each struck out one batter. Abrath has won three consecutive starts (4-1) for DSU.
In the second game of the double header, the Red Storm had only two hits through the first five innings. Hawaii Pacific took a 2-0 lead with single runs in the second and third innings off starter John Conquy.
The momentum began to turn with two outs in the sixth innings. Kamachi doubled and reached third base after a potential inning-ending groundball from Kline was misplayed. Blair was able to drive the ball passed a diving attempt from the outfield for a two-run double to knot the game at 2-2.
Dixie State took the lead in the seventh inning when Kamachi drew a bases loaded walk. Dalton Gust added an RBI groundout in the eighth inning for a 4-2 lead.
The duo of Hill and Parker once again handled their business in the later innings. Hill produced three groundball outs in the eighth while Parker fanned the final two hitters he faced to earn his ninth save. Parker joined three former DSU pitchers – Daniel Zapata, Todd Morlock, and Josh Mooney – with nine season saves. DSU's current closer has 21 more games to take the top spot among DSU stoppers.
Hawaii Pacific fell to 14-8 on the year and 8-6 in the PacWest with the twinbill loss.
Dixie State hosts HPU for two more game on Saturday beginning at 4 p.m. from Hurst.

Current revision
Thomas Jefferson first mentions tomatoes in Query VI of his Notes on the State of Virginia: "The gardens yield muskmelons, watermelons, tomatas, okra, pomegranates, figs, and the esculent plants of Europe." [1] One of our research historians notes that "Jefferson does not single out tomatoes as unusual objects in Virginia gardens, and in other parts of the country, the fruit was also available."[2] He recorded planting tomatoes all of the years that he kept his Garden Kalendar (1809-1824), and included them in his chart of vegetables sold in the markets in Washington, D.C.[3] Tomatoes commonly appear in the Jefferson family recipe collections. Two varieties Jefferson planted most often were the "dwarf" and the "Spanish," which was described as "very much larger than the common kinds.
Jefferson himself never mentioned the belief by some that tomatoes were poisonous. There is a story that, on a visit to Lynchburg, he terrified one of the locals when he paused to snack on a tomato on the steps of the Miller-Claytor house;[4] our researchers have found no proof that this incident ever happened.

Purses are the most important accessory to a woman's wardrobe, letting her bring her wallet, phone and other necessities wherever she goes. However, a rare women's handbag can also coordinate with an entire closet of clothes. It's essential to have at least a few different purses for special occasions, ones that pair with different styles and colors of women's shoes for a night out with the girls. Kmart's selection of fashionable women's handbags makes it easy to start a collection with something for every occasion.
While having different purses for special occasions is important, you should still have something for everyday use, which requires a delicate balance of style and practicality. The extra glamour that comes with a jewel-encrusted bag and matching fashion jewelry may be nice for a special occasion, but you need a durable women's handbag that is built to handle everyday use. Hobo bags and satchels in white, black or brown can easily coordinate with a woman's day-to-day wardrobe while offering room for a wallet, sunglasses, phone and small medicine holder. Real and artificial leather handbags still carry a touch of class that entices the eye while also being built for durability.
Never settle for a clutch or tote that almost matches an outfit. Expand your handbag collection with stylish purses from Kmart until you are never without coordinated accessories.

|In response to Re: shower arm
About the time you use an 18" wrench, and long before you get to the three foot cheater, you are going to twist the elbow off the shower riser if it is copper. If the ten inch wrench does not work, call a plumber, before you wreck something and make the job much harder than it has to be.
: If the shower arm is newer, and is a soft silver colored brass tube, and you are sure you aren't going to use it any more, you can put a 16 or 18 inch pipe wrench on it, and turn it counter clockwise. The pipe wrench will crush the tube, but after it is crushed you can tighten the wrench and keep turning. If you aren't comfortable with that, you have already removed the shower head, you can pull the decorative piece at the wall (its called an estucheon) away and look into the cavity behind it with a flashlight. You'll see threads on your shower arm screwing into either a "Tee" or a ninety degree bend. Where those threads screw together, you are experiencing a rusting together of the pipes. You can go to any good hardware store and buy penetrating oil. Usually the oil will come with a spray areosol head, and also a small 1/8 inch diameter "straw" which you can poke into the aerosol spray head, and get a concentrated spray right exactly onto those tight threads. Let it sit and penetrate for about two hours, and you should be able to unscrew the shower arm. If it still won't budge, spray more penetrating oil on it, set the pipe wrench into the shower arm so that it really gets a good grip, and take a 24 inch piece of steel pipe (or hard plastic), slide it over the pipe wrench handle to fashion a longer handle (called a "cheater") which will give you more leverage, and I bet that poor shower arm will turn. But if it wont turn, make your cheater three feet long then turn it. When you finally get that arm out of there, and you're going to screw the new one in, use some teflon tape wrapped tightly around the threads before you screw it in. All the pressure you are applying to get the old one out, may cause a small bit of stretching of the metal threads, which would be a potential leak inside your wall.

"Medical advisory boards are important to help in the guidance of a society... They should be part of a national PH society."
- British Columbia PH Society
The work you do today will shape the future of pulmonary hypertension in your country for years. Creating a clear mission statement - one that squarely addresses your vision, goals, and objectives - will help establish an identity for your association. Keep your focus on the "big picture" and boldly state your aspirations and priorities.
Your mission statement will guide your work and make the nature of that work clear to other associations and government bodies. Your membership will return to it again and again for encouragement and motivation to continue working against PH. For ideas, take a look at the mission statements of the associations featured in this guide. While both should be clear, they can also be simple and flexible.
Many associations choose to promptly create formalized structures, such as medical advisory committees involving physicians, nurses and researchers. If you are unable to create such a structure – or if you decide against it for the time being – try to involve medical professionals and PH scientists in a less formal advisory capacity. Doing so will add credibility to your work and synergy to the association.
The advice and guidance of medical professionals will help ensure that the information you are providing to patients and the public is accurate, and because they often work in connection with other medical professionals, your association will benefit from the growing body of knowledge they can contribute to.
Remember that medical professionals tend to see many patients and serve many roles in the hospitals and clinics in which they work. For this reason, they may be quite busy already and will appreciate clearly defined expectations and time-limits. Many medical professionals are eager to help their patients and enhance their understandings of their work and PH; find ways to engage them in your association that complement their schedules and availability.

Market check: Dow and S&P 500 futures point about 1% lower Monday morning amid a surge of interest in Washington's stalled budget discussions. "Failure to raise the debt ceiling would deliver a partial shutdown of the government generating much uncertainty while sequestration would trickle down through slower economic growth," writes Miller Tabak's Andrew Wilkinson this morning. Even the price of the old "haven" asset, gold, can't seem to catch a bid — futures are down by 0.9% to $1,327. SPDR Gold Trust (GLD) is down 0.6% in premarket trading and Market Vectors Gold Miners ETF (GDX) is down by 0.9%. Piper Jaffray technician Craig Johnson likes what he sees out there: "While we believe the odds of a government shutdown are increasing, we suspect this may prove to be a great buying opportunity for stocks." Johnson bases it on the experience of a mid-1990s shutdown which saw the S&P 500 decline 3.7% over a period of a few weeks before soaring more than 10% in a month.
Fund watch: "Frontier" markets have been on a roll, but don't mistake this group for "junior emerging markets." That's the argument in the weekend's ETF Focus column in the print edition of Barron's. The group is distinguished from emerging markets less by per capita income or other measures of economic development than by poor market infrastructure and volatile politics. In fact, some frontier countries — Kuwait, United Arab Emirates — are downright wealthy, enjoying in those two cases per capita income in the range of $40,000-$50,000. Read on for more about performance, upcoming index changes and geographical slants for iShares MSCI Frontier 100 ETF (FM), Market Vectors Gulf States Index ETF (MES) and Guggenheim Frontier Markets (FRN).
