Questions that Need Answers: First Edition
Jason Gregor
February 16 2009 01:58PM
We're be trotting out a new weekly feature starting today. It will focus mostly on the NHL, but if there's a sporting story big enough to be mentioned in the same breath as hockey, we might consider it.
Questions That Need Answers...
(Okay the name is really lame, but Wanye likes it, he says QTNA will be a hit, but if you have a better suggestion feel free to send it.)
WHERE did Mike Green come from?
The Calgary native, and former Saskatoon Blade, is scoring goals at a rate we rarely see from D-men. Twenty-two goals in only 44 games so far this season, and he just set a record with a goal in eight straight games.
Mike O'Connell set the record in the 1983/84 season, but he only scored 18 goals all season. In fact, O'Connell never scored more than 18, and only had 105 in his career. He wasn't a consistent offensive threat.
Green was never a big goal scorer until he got to Washington. He scored 14 twice with the Blades, and I doubt any scouts thought he would become the premiere goal-scoring D-man in the NHL. He led D-men in goals last year with 18 and is a lock to do it again this year.
Compare Green to some of the best defencemen who ever played, and he might start getting attention as one of the best goal-scoring D-men of all time.
- Scott Niedermayer: Career high 15 goals in 2006/07
- Nicklas Lidstrom: Career high 20 in 1999/00. He scored 18+ twice.
- The Human Rake: Career high 14 twice with St. Louis.
- Al MacInnis: 28 goals three times with the Flames.
- Rob Blake: Career high 23. Scored 20+ only twice.
- Brian Leetch: Scored 20+ five times, with 23 being the most. Last D-man to score 100 points when he potted 102 in 1991/92.
- Chris Chelios: Scored 20 once.
- Doug Wilson: Had 39 in 81/82, then had season of 22 and 23 goals.
- Denis Potvin: Had two 31 goal seasons and a 30-goal campaign.
- Phil Housley: Had six straight 20-goal seasons, with 29 being the most.
- Scott Stevens: Career high of 21 and never scored 20 again.
- Randy Carlyle: Won Norris with career high 16 goals and 83 points in 1981.
- Larry Robinson: Career high of 19 twice.
- Ray Bourque: Career high of 31. Had eight 20-goal seasons.
- Bobby Orr: Had a six-year stretch of 33, 37, 37, 29, 32, and 46 goals.
- Paul Coffey: NHL record 48 goals in 85/86 and had and six other seasons of 29+ goals.
These are the Norris trophy winners since 1968, excluding Rod Langway who won twice, but he was not an offensive D-man. He scored three and nine goals when he won in 1983 and 1984. Phil Housley is the only name on the list who didn't win a Norris, but he is fourth all-time in goals by a D-man so I included him.
Green is putting up numbers rarely seen in the NHL for a D-man, and considering this is only his third full season, there is a good chance we are seeing the emergence of the next great scoring D-man.
Even the Capitals didn't know how good he was. They took another D-man, Jeff Schultz, at 27th in the 2004 draft before taking Green 29th. Here are the D-men taken ahead of Green in the 2004 draft:
- Cam Barker: third overall to Chicago
- Ladislav Smid: Ninth to Anaheim
- Boris Valabik: 10th to Atlanta
- AJ Thelan: 12th to Minnesota
- Andrej Meszaros: 23rd to Ottawa
- Jeff Schultz: 27th to Washington
- Mark Fistric: 28th to Dallas
Based on Green's junior numbers, no one could have predicted he would be the premiere goal-scoring blueliner right now. He might score 35 goals this year, which would be the sixth highest total for a D-man ever.
Considering Bruce Boudreau plays him 25:33 minutes a game, and just under 2:30 on the PK, Green will get consideration for the Norris. He is also +28. If Green scores 30+ goals you can guarantee he will be a finalist for the Norris, and could beat out Zdeno Chara and Nick Lidstrom. He is a player you should watch down the stretch.
WHY hasn't John Tortorella, Ted Nolan or Pat Quinn been hired?
These are the three names that most Oiler fans throw out when the FMNF train gets rolling, yet Pittsburgh, Ottawa and Tampa didn't hire them when they gave their coaches the boot this season.
The reason those names are brought up the most, is because they are the only names many fans know. I doubt many knew anything about Dan Blysma, the new Pens coach, or Cory Clouston. And that's fair, but that doesn't mean they aren't good coaches.
Those three gents are all coaches who made a name for themselves by being boisterous (Tortorella), controversial (Nolan) and honest (Quinn), but that doesn't mean they are the cure to a team's coaching woes.
I'm not sure if Quinn will ever get another job, due to his age and his style. He's old-school, and coaches more with emotion than system play. If he does get a job, he will have to have two experienced and talented systematic assistants.
Nolan is a head case, and in my opinion a bit over-hyped. Yes he won the Jack Adams trophy in 1997, but he had a goalie named Hasek who was pretty darn good. Nolan has won ONE playoff series as a coach, but it's more his reputation of not being able to work with others that haunts him.
Ask any successful head coach, and he will tell you that you have to get your four of five best players on your side, and then the rest of the team will follow suit. Hasek was clearly the best player, yet Nolan and he had a running feud. I know Hasek was a flake himself, but great players make great coaches, not the other way around.
Nolan fought with John Muckler and there were reports that he and Garth Snow didn't get along in the end either. While he might be a decent coach, the baggage that comes with him is too much for most teams to chance.
Tortorella will get another gig, but he has hinted he'd rather get a job in the summer than midway through the season. He is the most attractive of the three names, and he wants back in the league, so don't be surprised to see him in an American market this summer.
WHEN Roloson is playing well why can't he told onto his stick?
Is it just me or does Roloson lose his stick more when he's playing well? Early in the year, when Roloson was just average, I can't remember him losing his stick at least once a period like it seems he is lately.
Roloson is a goalie, so he's weirdo to begin with, but when he is playing well he seems to mishandle to puck more and lose his stick more frequently. It's a strange phenomenon, but if he keeps stopping the puck I guess it doesn't matter.
WOULD you re-sign Roli in the summer?
At the start of this season I didn't even think he would be an option for next year, but here we are in February and now you at least have to give it some thought. Roloson is a battler, and that's why it might make sense to offer him a one-year deal in the range of $1.7–2.2 million.
The Oilers have $44 million committed to 17 players next season. They have room to sign a big-ticket scorer or a goalie, but not both. Roloson wouldn't cost that much, and his play has shown he can still get the job done. If he carries the Oilers to the playoffs and gets them to the second round would that be enough to sign him for another year? I say yes.
HOW annoying will all the Sundin-back-in-Toronto talk be this week?
I wonder how many minutes TSN, Sportnet and the Score will dedicate to Sundin starting Wednesday. Hell, they probably will have a clip about his return today, and he doesn't play there until Saturday.
I've always said the NHL should take notes from the NFL and NBA when it comes to hyping up games. The NFL is great at it, even though it is much easier when you play 95 per cent of your games on one day, but even the NBA does it with their marquee match-ups.
Last week the two best NHL teams -- San Jose and Boston -- played on TSN, but there was barely any hype. I watched the game and it was awesome. It had a playoff feel to it, yet not many hockey fans watched it.
If you're a fan of the NHL then this was a game you should have watched, don't say you are a hockey fan but only watch your team. That makes you a fan of your team. I know we can't watch every game, and very few of you have an understanding woman that will allow you to watch 145 games a year, but this was a game you should have seen.
And I bet more of you would have had you known it was on. So there was little to no hype about that game, but this week we will be sick of the Sundin-returns-to-Toronto story. I'm sorry, it's not that big a deal, unless you're a Leafs or Canucks fan. The reason it isn't a story is because Sundin wouldn't say %#$@ if his mouth was full of it.
He is boring, bland and won't say anything interesting. Wilson and Burke weren't there when he was so even those blowhards will have a hard time saying something interesting:
Reporter: Did the Leafs annoy you that much so you would screw them over and not accept a trade last year and then sign somewhere else? Sundin: I loved my time here. The fans were great, my teammates were great and I really miss that Swedish restaurant on King Street. Reporter: So you didn't screw them over intentionally? Sundin: Like I said, I loved my time here. I really wanted to win a Cup in Toronto and I thought we could still make the playoffs last year so I wanted to stay and lead. If the ship was going down the Captain should go down with it. Reporter: Have you ever been on a ship? Sundin: I never had until I took the ferry to Victoria. It is beautiful. I actually took it every day for two weeks. It was calming, and I even saw a pod of whales. They were pretty, and we have an orca on our jersey so I related to them. The ferry ride helped me calm down and turn my game around. I never had that option in Toronto. Driving on the 401 isn't that relaxing compared to a ferry ride. Reporter: So you are blaming our lack of a seaway for not winning a Cup here? Sundin: It might have played a part. Luongo and I are taking the ferry on a weekly basis now, and we think that will be the key to us going deep in the playoffs. Did I mention I love my teammates in Vancouver? They have been very welcoming, and I even got my #13 from Mike Brown so that was special. Reporter: Did you give Brown anything for doing that? Sundin: That punk asked me for $500 if you can believe it, so I told Mike Gillis and he promptly traded him to Anaheim. I have a pro-rated contract, I can't afford giving some no-name $500 for MY number.
Okay, so there is no way Sundin would say anything that exciting, but I'm sure you will be sick of his return by Wednesday.
WHAT is up with Shaq?
Did you watch the NBA All-Star game introductions yesterday? Did you see Shaq? My god, he's freak.
I had never heard of Jabbawockeez before and I'll admit they had some pretty good dance moves, but Shaq has some big gonads. Most guys if asked to do that would pull out a quick ten-second routine and then smile and walk off.
Not the big man, he busts it out for a full two minutes, and then he goes on to be Co-MVP of the game. I didn't watch the game because, well, it's an All-star game, but his intro was the best part.
Fans want to see the personalities of the players, and Shaq does it better than most (you can even follow him on Twitter). Outside of Jeremy Roenick, and now Ovechkin, rarely does an NHL player ever show their fun side. Once again, NHL and the NHLPA feel free to try and market your players. Letting the fans see their personality isn't a bad thing.
Really. It isn't.
Questions that need to be answered: Instead of wasting time stumbling around like he just had a stroke, why doesn't Shaq practise his free throws?
February 16 2009, 02:35PM
Maybe Rolli has small hands and should be using a junior sized stick instead of a seniors size stick? Or maybe Rolli could try standing instead of swimming and floundering while he throws his stick away and attempts to shake off his mask? QTNA that!
February 16 2009, 02:40PM
@ Robin B:
I wonder if anyone woulda got their tits in a knot if a giant WHITE superstar NHL player...say Chara... was dancing around on a stage with a BLACK mask on? QTNA!!
@ Harlie Chuddy: Probably, but there's always somebody looking to get their tits in a knot. I don't think Chara can shoot free throws worth a squirt, either.
@ Robin B: Shaq at the line this year .619, last year .513. A signifigant upgrade from the "Old Crocodile". He is still a useful playa on the right team.
QTNA = Cute T'n'A? Thumbnails please!
@ Greg MC: Good point. He's gone from pitiful to lousy. If you've got stats at hand, I'd be interested to know his career free throw percentage and his worst for a single season. I thought Shaq was somewhere in the .400s one season.
By the way, the man really is a monster. A few of us got a chance to chat with him one day before the Oilers skated at the training centre the Kings and Lakers share about 10 years ago. Georges Laraque and Sean Brown looked like a pair of 9-year-olds standing beside him.
February 16 2009, 03:03PM
Yeah Shaq is an F'n BEAST! You'd need some balls (or celebrity) to do this to him. http://punkd.co.uk/punkd-video/114/Shaq/
@ Robin B: LOL. Shaq always struck me as someone who doesn't take himself too seriously and enjoys life. I saw Georges last summer while in an electronics store shopping. My wife and I were having some questions with the staff and Georges overheard and offered some suggestions. Down to earth nice guy.
@ Robin B: Shaquille O'Neal, career at the line .527, worst season 06/07 while in Miami. It was .422 that year. Brick!
No matter what the Oil do in the rest of this season and the playoffs, they have to sign Rolli for about $2 million and get that high end winger and then hope Rolli/ JDD have what it takes to carry the load. Rolli played well at the end of last year and has carried it through this year and maybe the age thing but not playing much for years will work.
February 16 2009, 03:58PM
Thinking about your last sentence, Jason, I think the most thankless media job ever has to be interviewing professional hockey players. I'm guessing that you could pretty much write the scripts without even talking to these guys:
Okay...look in the mirror...110%...keep plugging away...done!
I'd love to see what Tortorella could do with the Oilers, but I also realize it will never happen.
You can see when Gene Principe interviews Penner, The big guy really wants to tell Gene to stop asking dumb questions.... He usually says something a little funny. A little.

Not sure if you were being serious or not, but no definite amount of practice would make a difference, his hands are too big. For most centers aka Big Men in the NBA, hand size is an issue with freethrows and its virtually impossible to help them improve, that's why you see most centers in the NBA should FT at around 50%-60%. It takes a certain amount of finesse to shoot free throws and when you have hands as big as his, you can't put spin on the ball, it's the equivalent of you and I grasping a baseball or squashball in the palm of our hands. It's a crapshoot.
And FTR, Shaq was great yesterday, and the game was great. NBA All-Star weekend TRUMPS anything that the NHL has to offer, although I will say that the NHL All-Star game in MTL this year was very entertaining.
Shaq is the MAN.......He wins CHAMPIIONSHIPS.....Ovechin will do the same, and he will win many, many of them.....But, hopefully not until Tambo makes a monster deal to bring him to his rightful home in god country....Etown!!!!!
Shaq also has difficulty shooting free throws because of a wrist break when he was a child. Because of this, he can't bend his wrist back far enough to get his hand under the ball, which means he will have an unconventional shooting form, no matter how much he practices. Your hand, forearm, and upper arm should make a "C" shape when shooting, but he can only make an "L" shape.
Some players show their personality... and then get suspended for 6 games... and then have to go on anger management courses... No wonder no one else does. Poor Avery.
I'd rather have the oilers go after Manny Fernandez than re-sign rollie. We need a top-10 goalie to go anywhere in the playoffs and he's been there before. I doubt he'll be back in Boston as a backup. Relying on a 40+ year old goalie to take you deep in the playoffs is unrealistic

Reviews for this host's other properties
I liked the Apartment. The description and most of the reviews are very accurate. Thats why I am giving 5 stars. The host didn't try to hide any flaws and it's the perfect location if you want to spend your weekend partying and drinking in Lisbon (at least in the evenings) and explore the city during the daylight. Everything is close by (or nearly close by via Tram, Bus or Metro).
A couple of things to be aware of:
- The nearest metro station 'Restauradores' means that you will have to walk a very steep hill every day at least twice. Just fyi. If you have walking problems make sure that you have money for a Taxi or TukTuk. On the map it looks like a 5 minute walk so I am just trying to manage your expectations.
- The Erasmus Office in the street around the corner is really loud. Noise stops sometime between 2 and 3AM. Be aware of this. The windows of the apartment cancel the sound quite good but sleeping with an open window is impossible and obviously there is still some noise coming through.
- The bed squeaks like crazy. Also the toilet has no proper door. Just saying. Some people might not like this in certain situations ;)
- There were only two towels for us. We stayed 10 days so not really enough but then again this is no hotel. We asked for extra towels and got them the next day (really responsive and friendly hosts).
Estela is a really helpful host. The flat is located very central. The noise of the nightbars doesn't really disturb. The flat is clean and modern, only a bit small.
Thank you very much ti Estela for her availability and for all the informations that offer to Us. The apartament is fantastic, confortabile and clean. His position is optimal to visit the all the city, and Lisboa is great! I hope to come back soon Becouse our journey has been great!
Very nice Apartment in the heart of Lissabon. Good Price Quality.
What a pleasant experience we had there! At the heart of Bairro Alto with all its bohemian life (living but the apartment is well soundproofed neighborhood) ideally situated to enjoy the city on foot for the bravest or tram, close to the "ascencor da Bica" . The apartment is charming, the bedding and Estela will welcome you like a family member.
Quel beau séjour que nous avons passé là! Au coeur du Bairro Alto avec toute sa vie bohème,(quartier vivant mais l'appartement est bien insonorisé) idéalement situé pour profiter de la ville à pied pour les plus courageux ou en tram, à deux pas de "l'ascencor da Bica". L'appartement est charmant, la literie de qualité et Estela vous accueillera comme quelqu'un de sa famille.
Estela & Miriam were very nice hosts. There is everything in the aptm. that you could possibly need and though it is located in the middle of Barrio Alto it's quiet at night. There are a few really nice places incl. Rua Augusta that you can reach by walking, and the famous tram 28 is quite around the corner. Nice neighbourhood also. Thanks a lot, we enjoyed our stay there!
Estela was a really nice host. The communication before our visit was perfect. The apartment is quite small,but for a short city trip ok.
The location of the apartment is near to the Erasmus office. On Friday and Saturday evening it was really noisy.
Thank you Estella for the nice stay in Lisboa!
Everything spotless. Clean with all details and very well located. I recommend it!
Todo impecable. Limpio, con todos los detalles y muy bien situado. Os lo recomendamos!
We spent some wonderful days in May in Lisbon. The apartment of Estela was perfect for it. Very clean, beautifully decorated and the location is great for exploring the city and culinary excursions in the neighborhood of Bairro Alto. W-Lan available.
Since the apartment in Bairro Alto is located, it is not completely quiet at night. However, the window tight reasonably well. In the night from Friday to Saturday, it was louder than on previous days - as it then was on Saturday we can not say, since we were already gone.
Estela was very friendly and gave us all great tips. She has for the day of departure also ordered us a taxi to the airport - had to leave very early to be at the airport.
Wir haben im Mai einige wunderbare Tage in Lissabon verbracht. Die Wohnung von Estela war perfekt dafür. Sehr sauber, liebevoll eingerichtet und von der Lage her super für die Erkundung der Stadt und auch kulinarische Ausflüge in die Nachbarschaft im Bairro Alto. W-Lan vorhanden.
Da die Wohnung im Bairro Alto liegt, ist es in der Nacht nicht komplett ruhig. Die Fenster dichten allerdings einigermaßen gut. In der Nacht von Freitag auf Samstag war es lauter als an den vorherigen Tagen - wie es dann am Samstag war können wir nicht sagen, da waren wir schon wieder weg.
Estela war sehr freundlich und hat uns ganz tolle Tipps gegeben. Sie hat uns für den Abreisetag auch ein Taxi zum Flughafen bestellt - mussten schon sehr früh am Flughafen sein.
Excellent well equipped apartment. Excellent location: lots of attractions and restaurants within walking distance. It is located in a busy street entertainment; why do window shut at night. Very lively entertainment district!
Prima goed geoutilleerd appartement. Uitstekende locatie: veel bezienswaardigheden en restaurantjes op loopafstand. Het ligt in een druk uitgaansstraatje; daarom wel raam dicht 's nachts. Erg gezellige uitgaanswijk!

Okay, I have a multi-part question about a casual game I played last night with a friend. (We are both only casual players, and we play Unlimited.)
The three cards involved are:
Kingdra Lv. 52 (Diamond and Pearl: Legends Awakened, http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wi...ds_Awakened_7))
Ditto Lv. 20 (Fossil, http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Ditto_(Fossil_3))
Clefable Lv. 34 (Jungle, http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wi...ble_(Jungle_1))
My active Pokémon is Kingdra when he brings Ditto up from his bench, so Ditto becomes Kingdra. Ditto Knocks Out my Kingdra when Ditto has 10 damage counters on it. When I then bring up Clefable as my next Active Pokémon, does Ditto become Clefable and automatically faint because it has 10 damage counters on it and only 70 HP? That's what I thought, but he said its Pokémon Power should be treated as a Poké-Power rather than as a Poké-Body, and so he had the option of when to use it. He said he wasn't going to use it, so it is still Kingdra, and so I let it go.
Later, on my next turn I tried to use Clefable's Metronome to copy Ditto's Dragon Pump, and I thought I could do 60 damage to Ditto and 20 to a Benched Pokémon without discarding anything, but he said no. We had a small debate about it, and I thought I could do this because Metronome says that I don't have to execute costs required to use the attack. My argument was that even though the discarding wasn't required to do the 40, it was required to do the 60 + 20>Bench, so it was required, and I didn't have to discard them. In the end, I let that go as well, though, and we assumed that I had to discard the cards.
On both of these questions, could you please tell me what the correct ruling should be? I don't want to win (or lose) an argument, and anyway the battle's over; I just want to know for the future if similar situations arise (especially on the first question because I'm sure he will use that Ditto again).

A lot of them didn't seem to like the Sweets character, and learning that he wrote this episode made it worse. They don't like how Brennan is being portrayed now.
That was why Hodgins gave him the "raccoon" treatment with the microscope.
Too late; I already copyrighted these parodies: Rogue Juan, Rogue Won, Rogue Huan, Rogue Wan, Rogue Obi-Wan, Rouge One, Rogue Wand.
I knew that an upcoming episode was going to more or less be the pilot for a new show, but I didn't expect this! Yeah I sound stupid when I say this but there wasn't much of anybody from Bones in it!?!? WTF!?!
Ohh and "the finders" magic ability in finding Booth? His gf was about to have a kid, how much magic ability do you really need to find out what hospital she is staying in?
This was the most bizarre Bones I've ever seen, because of what JJB said. I was having flashbacks to the "Poochy" Simpsons episode. It was hard to follow, and I was never sure if a series character would show up in a scene or not. It wasn't bad, just confusing.
Ms. Deschanel didn't look "with child" at all, so I wonder when this one was filmed (quite a few outdoor and on-location scenes, too).
Too late; I already copyrighted these parodies: Rogue Juan, Rogue Won, Rogue Huan, Rogue Wan, Rogue Obi-Wan, Rouge One, Rogue Wand.
"Hokey packaging and ancient gimmicks are no match for good detail on your figure, kid."
"I am a Klingot from Oklahoma in human boy form."
"We came, we saw, we conquered... We, woke up!"
Was there anything to suggest that his finding Booth in the hospital was extraordinary? Even Bones pointed out to Booth that the fact that he waited until after he held his son was an indication that he let things slide.
I enjoyed the episode, and liked the new characters. I think all the regular characters were in the episode, and we saw them enough to know that they were in contact with the new characters and that they were all working on the case. I might watch the new series if it makes it onto the lineup.

According to the Wikipedia a frittata is "a kind of Italian omelette that can contain cheese, vegetables, or even leftover pasta. Frittatas are cooked slowly. Most often, they are cooked on the stovetop on low heat until the eggs are set, then run under the broiler, but they can also be baked. Except for the cooking fat, all ingredients are fully mixed with the eggs before cooking starts." I experimented with this frittata combination – eggs with spinach, onions, garlic, Parmesan, goat cheese and sun-dried tomatoes, and we all agreed here that the experiment was a success.
Spinach Frittata RecipePrint
If using frozen spinach, use about 6 ounces. Defrost it, and squeeze out most of the moisture with paper towels.
If using fresh spinach, the best way to clean out the grit is to submerge the leaves into a large bowl or basin of cold water. Swirl the spinach leaves with your hands to dislodge the dirt. Drain and repeat until the leaves are clean.
- 1 lb spinach leaves (about 2 bunches), thoroughly cleaned
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 medium onion, chopped (about 1 cup)
- 1 large clove garlic, minced
- 9 large eggs
- 2 Tbsp milk
- 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Sun-dried tomatoes, about 2 Tbsp chopped
- Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
- 3 oz goat cheese
1 Preheat oven to 400°F.
2 Cook spinach in 1/4 cup of water in a covered saucepan until just wilted, a couple minutes. Drain water and rinse with cold water to cool. Wrap the spinach in paper towels and squeeze out as much moisture as you can. Then chop and set aside. (If you are using tender baby spinach instead of mature spinach, you don't need to pre-cook, just chop and toss with the onions in step 3 until wilted).
3 In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, and Parmesan cheese. Add in chopped sun-dried tomatoes, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Set aside.
4 Sauté onions in olive oil in an oven-proof, stick-free skillet, until translucent, about 4-5 minutes on medium heat. Add the garlic and cook a minute further. Mix the cooked chopped spinach in with the onions and garlic.
5 Spread out spinach mixture evenly on bottom of skillet. Pour egg mixture over spinach mixture. Use a spatula to lift up the spinach mixture along the sides of the pan to let egg mixture flow underneath.
Left: About to go in the oven; Right: Just removed from oven
6 Sprinkle bits of goat cheese over the top of the frittata mixture. When the mixture is about half set, put the whole pan in the oven. Bake for 13-15 minutes, until frittata is puffy and golden. Remove from oven with oven mitts and let cool for several minutes. Although the pan may be out of the oven for a few minutes, the handle is still very hot. To keep from accidentally picking it up by the handle while hot (speaking from experience, ouch!) take a piece of ice and melt it against the pan's handle to cool it down.
Cut into quarters to serve.

By By RICHARD SHAWEmery County Progress publisher
A public meeting on Wednesday night concerning the possible merger or partnership between the College of Eastern Utah and Utah State University brought up some serious and interesting questions from audience members.
But the point of the questions and answers could be moot if nothing happens between the two schools. That is up to parties that weren't present at the meeting.
The meeting was held as a question and answer period featuring CEU Interim President Mike King, USU President Stan Albrecht and USU Provost Ray Coward. And while nothing is a sure thing some of the discussions on that rainy evening could shed light on what a USU/CEU relationship would look like if there were a partnership.
"This meeting is separate from what the Board of Regents are doing," King told the audience. "They have a task force that will be assembling next Monday to decide how they will be exploring the possibilities. They have complete knowledge of what we are doing here this week and are for it."
Albrecht said that he realized the conversations they had been having for the last day with community and college staff members seemed a little out of order, because no decision has been made about what might happen, but he felt it was important to talk with everyone and give them information.
"We have not had a real chance to come and meet with the people who are here," he said. "This was our opportunity to do that."
The change in the status of CEU can be affected by what the administrations of both schools say, but the ultimate decision comes down to what the Board of Regents recommends to the legislature. Albrecht was asked about a time line concerning such a change and he said he could guess at it but that would be all the answer would be.
"The task force has to make up their minds with their research and then they will recommend what should be done to the Board of Regents," he said. "Then the Regents will take recommendations to the legislature. That gives us all about a six month time line to figure this out."
He said once the legislature makes a decision then implementation would start, probably around next spring sometime.
Albrecht mentioned that during the meetings with community leaders on Wednesday one asked what if the area just didn't want to go along with making any kind of change. He said that no change is unthinkable.
"Everyone is concerned about CEU and what is going on, including the Regents, legislature the governor's office, everyone," he said.
All three said change is inevitable. But what that change will be still remains to be seen.
Albrecht and Coward addressed most of the questions from the audience, and many people seemed to come away feeling a little better about USU and what might happen. However, neither Albrecht or Coward will be there forever and many were worried what might happen in the future.
"If my grandkids want to go here in 10 years what will the tuition be like if USU is involved?" asked one audience member.
Albrecht pointed out that even if there wasn't a a partnership with USU or another kind of change in CEU's status, things will change anyway because it is taking place throughout higher education in Utah. He suggested that many of the traditions and things that are good about CEU could be protected by a memorandum of understanding should some type of partnership take place.
Coward and Albrecht spent a good portion of the evening talking about their present satellite campus' and how they work, what services they provide and the success they have had at those locations.
"We have a community college mission within our charter," said Coward. "Last year we produced more people with associate degrees than CEU did, and some of those came off our main campus in Logan."
He also pointed out that the main campus has about 14,000 students and that the satellite campus' are growing rapidly.
"In fact they have almost caught up in enrollment with the main campus. They have about 11,000 students," he said.
USU has campus' in Vernal, Brigham City, and Tooele. They also have smaller educational centers in other places in the state.
Asked how CEU would fit in with those operations Albrecht pointed out that CEU is on a different continuum than any of the others.
"CEU is what they all want to be some day," he said. "You have athletics, campus life, housing on campus, tradition and many other kinds of things they don't have yet. In many ways CEU is the model for what they would like to become."
State Representative Christine Watkins was in the audience and pointed out that nothing is a done deal and that the legislature is who will ultimately make the decisions on the ideas that will be forthcoming from the Board of Regents.
"I and David (Hinkins, state senator who lives in Ferron) live in this area and we want to see CEU succeed," she said. "We will be watching closely what happens. I know that I have been educating people in the legislature about CEU during my first term in office. Many have come to me and said the school is going under. I have corrected them on that and we will be working together for what is best for the area."
More details concerning the meeting will appear in the Tuesday June 16 issue of the Sun Advocate.

The combination of sweet and hot flavors in this stir-fry is inspired by Thai cuisine. Not hot enough? Add a dab of Thai curry paste or a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes to the sauce.
Grown in the Himalayan foothills for thousands of years, basmati is a tender, fragrant long-grain white rice. Its nutty aroma and delicate texture are a result of aging the rice to reduce its moisture.
Check the Asian growers at your local farmer's market for Thai basil or cinnamon basil to use instead of regular basil.

Fabulous Boots!
"I think these boots are absolutely adorable! I love that it has a side zipper so the laces don't have to be messed with and worn out. The color is definitely more on the dark pink side rather than a burgundy. I have a frilly scarf that has the same color in it so it gives the perfect color connection. A welcome change from black and brown. I always look for shoes and boots that have padding at the ball of the foot, of which these have some, so I have no trouble walking in for a couple of hours. Probably wouldn't walk around a mall all day, though, because of heel height. True to size."

Hi im starting this thread as an open discussion on your personal views on the manga "D.Grayman" [flaming is welcome]. When i first read D.Grayman i thought, "this is not my thing" then i gave it another go, read a few more chapters, and before i knew it *bang* i was hooked. The art is great, thats a given, but one of the things that hooked me the most was that the story takes the characters places others dont; Allen practically died when he vs'ed Ticki Mick and i had no clue how the artist was gonna tangible pull him out of it.
However! [and heres where i get to the point of this thread] One of my biggest criticisms is that the characters themselves seem a bit 2-dimensional; they really dont seem like they have much too them and sometimes the dialogue between characters seems a lil...crap?. Also! Lately the art has been a lil ..."low quality"...and i dont mean the scans i mean the way the characters are being drawn. I think its because Hoshino has trouble drawing Marian [she said so herself a while back] and animating him well. So in closing i think this "5 week sicky" is just a chance for her to get back on the right footing, so good for her. I really hope D.Grayman doesnt end up crashing and burning, ive got high hopes for its "recouperation".
P.S This is the only place i could think of putting this thread so if any admin out there thinks it should be in a special D.Grayman section feel free to put it there. Most importantly i want to hear what other fans/critics think of this [especially you blud]

BLM issues the Arkansas River Travel Management Plan Supplementary Rules (02-14-13)
CAÑON CITY, Colo. – The Bureau of Land Management's Royal Gorge Field Office is issuing final supplementary rules for the Arkansas River Travel Management Plan area. The rules were published in the Federal Register on Feb. 13, and become effective March 15.
Travel management plans designate uses and travel routes to protect natural resources while still providing various recreational opportunities. The Federal Register notice addresses decisions made through the ARTMP, which was developed with extensive public participation over a period of two years.
"The BLM worked with many groups to designate areas for a variety of uses, and these rules are the result," said Kalem Lenard, BLM Outdoor Recreation Planner. "For example, the rules limit mountain bikers to designated routes only. By respecting the rules, the public can enjoy these public lands in a balanced and safe way."
The ARTMP rules include:
2. 2) Bicycle riding is limited to designated roads and trails marked open to such use by a Bureau of Land Management sign or map.
3. 3) Recreational target shooting is prohibited on all public lands within the Methodist Mountain Area south of Salida (2,314 acres) and the Turkey Rock area near Howard (361 acres). These areas are identified as closed to recreational target shooting by either a BLM sign or map.
4. 4) Operation of a motorized vehicle within the area known as Turkey Rock Trials Area (52 acres) is limited to motorcycles specifically designed for observed trials riding.
5. 5) Motorcycles specifically designed for observed trials riding are prohibited within the Turkey Rock Trials Area after sunset or before sunrise.
Exemptions to these rules include: federal, state, local and military persons acting within their duties; organized rescue or firefighting forces performing their official duties; and individuals holding an existing special-use permit who are operating within the scope of their permit.
In the coming months, the BLM will begin installing signs throughout the area to reflect the travel management rules.
For further information and maps log on to: www.blm.gov/co/st/en/fo/rgfo/recreation0.html or contact Kalem Lenard, BLM Outdoor Recreation Planner at 719-269-8500.
The BLM manages more than 245 million acres of public land, the most of any Federal agency. This land, known as the National System of Public Lands, is primarily located in 12 Western states, including Alaska. The BLM also administers 700 million acres of sub-surface mineral estate throughout the nation. The BLM's mission is to sustain the health, diversity, and productivity of Americas public lands for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations. In Fiscal Year 2015, the BLM generated $4.1 billion in receipts from activities occurring on public lands.

It is true, the older you get, the less patience you have for those who watch a Youtube video and from that believe they know it all.
From what I saw (I didnt finish all 3 but I do play them up to around lvl 5ish) I thought they were all pretty comparable. Most people before I started beta were saying that Aldmeri Dominion was the best, I just didnt see that.
If I had to pick a favorite though, I'll go with Ebonheart because I loved my dark elf character the most.
I've played all of them, and at first I really thought Almari was my favorite. well after progressing in all three I have to say Ebonheart is my favorite. I enjoyed the landscape, architecture and most of all the quest lines.
on the surface first entering the starter area for Ebonheart it may have been my least favorite, but like I said as I progressed it really grew on me and was my type of area with a lot of variety and a uniqueness about it.
Wow, I didn't expect that DC will be the one on top.
I loved the medieval settings of DC and most probably going to roll there at launch.
Only one I didn't care for was Redguard and the respective faction.
An early quest had you deep in hostile territory and the only way to complete was a disguise. The disguise would be lost if you entered combat though and some people figured out how to herd hostile NPC's to a quest one and have them drop AoE combat effects, causing you to lose your disguise. tldr: typical lulz trolling in an MMO.
Wood Elf was my fave and that's rare because they aren't the heavy tankers and I ALWAYS play heavy armor, face tankers. I tried all three factions but the nimble little arrow spewing Wood Elf got most of my time. I never tried High Elf but I did make an over weight, past her prime Orc girl with a club. Grandma Orc, buddercup had all the boys running away from her obvious charm.
I'm here just for the numbers, but going to play on Daggerfall Covenant because Redguard women are hawt *cough* I mean the Redguard are cool. They have that sort of Egyptian/middle eastern vibe, which I like, and the other races in the alliance are great too. I'm not a big fan of Khajiit or Argonian so DC is nice, though Aldmeri Dominion is interesting too since there's not a single human race in it, and the reason why I will play an alt sooner or later there.
Edit; oh right, forgot to add the most important bit, I usually look into a faction's lore and races, then pick the side, it's really not important to me if they have "best gameplay feeling" I still pick a faction based on lore and favourite races.

Box score
HANOVER, N.H. — The Dartmouth men's lacrosse team scored the last six goals of the game on Tuesday night to come from behind and beat Vermont, 9-7, at Scully-Fahey Field. The win ended a four-game losing streak for the Big Green and improved the team to 5-7 overall. The loss dropped the Catamounts to 6-7.
After a sloppy first half by both teams with Vermont leading 7-4, Dartmouth came out of intermission with a mindset of not turning the ball over and attacking on offense. Neither team scored in the first 10 minutes of the third, but senior Rhett Miller (Dallas, Texas) cut the lead to two on his 16th goal of the season. A minute later, Miller scored again to bring the Big Green within one. On the ensuing faceoff, junior Alex Del Balso (Huntington, N.Y.) grabbed the ball, raced down the field and fired a shot into the net to tie the score with 3:01 left in the third.
The two teams remained tied for the next 11 minutes of game time before Dartmouth struck again. The Big Green had control of the ball, and junior Drew Tunney (Greenwich, Conn.) flipped a pass to freshman Brendan Rotanz (Westport, Conn.). The ball sailed over Rotanz's stick, but junior Kip Dooley (Minneapolis, Minn.) was right behind Rotanz to catch the pass. Dooley quickly flicked a shot past the Catamount goalkeeper to give Dartmouth its first lead of the game, 8-7, with 6:57 left in the fourth. Tunney added an insurance goal four minutes later to put the game out of reach.
The first half saw both teams struggle to maintain possession of the ball. Dartmouth turned it over 14 times in the half and Vermont coughed it up 12 times. The Catamounts took the lead by scoring four goals in the first quarter and three in the second. The Big Green stayed close in the first half on goals by freshman Patrick Resch (Flourtown, Pa.), Rotanz, junior Thomas Mattimore (Tiburon, Calif.) and Dooley. It marked Mattimore's first goal of the season.
For the game, Tunney finished with three points on a goal and two assists, and Dooley tallied three points on two goals and an assist. Dooley has scored a point in every game for the Big Green this season. Junior Fergus Campbell (New Canaan, Conn.) made 12 saves in the victory. It marked the sixth straight game Campbell has made double-digit saves.
Dartmouth thrived in man-up situations in the game, going 3-for-4. Vermont finished the game 1-for-4 in extra-man opportunities. The Big Green took 41 shots in the contest compared to 36 by the Catamounts.
Dartmouth returns to Ivy League action at Penn on Saturday at 1 p.m.

Hamachi  126.96.36.199
# Fixes
* Multicast DNS
- In some cases, LogMeIn Hamachi stopped unexpectedly when multicast DNS (mDNS) packets were transferred. This issue affected Windows, Mac, and Linux clients.
* VPN Alias
- In some cases, peer-to-peer (P2P) connection was lost when you assigned an IPv4 address to the peers of your network. As of this release, P2P connection is reliable when using VPN alias. This fix affects Windows, Mac, and Linux clients.
* Kernel extension (kext) issue
- In some cases, a Hamachi client update did not refresh the necessary kernel extension. As a result, the Hamachi virtual network adapter did not work properly.
* Update notification
- In some rare cases, a message about not having new client updates was incorrectly displayed twice. This issue only occurred when you checked for client updates manually and then automatic updates were run that did not retrieve new client updates either. In this case, a message was displayed both after manual and after automatic checks were run.

The Ferron Scarecrow Contest will be starting at the end of the summer. The week after Peach Days will be the week to put up the scarecrows. The city council would like to see the citizens of Ferron participate again this year. Last year, the winners were awarded prizes from some very fine businesses: Big Mama's Pizza dinner for two, Anthony J's dinner for two, J.B's. $30 certificate, The Cowboy Kitchen $20 certificate, Emery Sanitation entertained with a pizza party, Castle Valley Ranch one night for two with breakfast, and a stay at the 777 Ranch, East of Ferron. The winners were very pleased with their prizes and the businesses are to be complimented for lending support to the Scarecrow Contest in this way.
The committee said, "Citizens are urged to be thinking of some great scarecrows for this year. Visitors from around Utah and the Western United States have been found in Ferron taking pictures and enjoying the scarecrows. We will have a winner from the business group category and also winners from individuals and families.
"For ideas, you can Google scarecrows on the internet. If you would like to share some ideas, please feel free to contact the city hall and they will direct your ideas to the scarecrow committee.
"As in last year, there will be a scarecrow display at both ends of the city and then the committee would like to see scarecrows put up along the state highway.
"Entry forms are available at city hall and if you would like to become involved with the project, please contact and leave your name with city hall.
"This year there will be a home scarecrow display category but the committee would like to see the main road through town decorated so the prizes will be for this street only.
"Thanks again to all citizens who have participated and made this a fun place to visit in the fall," said the Ferron scarecrow committee.

PCMH is an approach to providing comprehensive primary care for children, youth and adults. The PCMH is a health care setting that facilitates partnerships between individual patients, and their provider teams, and when appropriate, the patient's family.>
The patient or family chooses a Primary Care Physician (PCP) with whom they feel comfortable to be their "Medical Home" for all aspects of their care. The patient or family will then use their chosen PCP for every aspect of their care including preventative and well-visits to visits for chronic conditions such as diabetes, asthma, congestive heart failure, as well as emergent, non-life threatening issues.
The PCMH model has shown that when a patient or family chooses a Primary Care Physician as their "Medical Home" for their entire healthcare needs, their individual health is better and healthcare costs are lower. We are privileged and honored to care for you and your family.
The Beaumont Family Medicine Center is excited to introduce our patients to the latest technology in personal health management. The interactive Emmi Program, uses audio, text and images to help patients make sense of their personal medical information.
The patient is given a "prescription" for an Emmi profile specific to their medical needs. You are then able to view your secure, password-protected Emmi programs online, at home, at your own pace and as often as you choose. You can take notes and ask questions of your caregiver from within the program. You can even share your Emmi profile with family and friends, if you choose to do so.
EMMI empowers you, the patient, with the capability to be actively engaged with your health care provider by giving you the tools and education for support.
