Billy Goodnick demystifies landscape design
Yellow crime tape crosses a scene of a juniper sheared back to its ugly wooden insides.
Crimes against horticulture happen even in the best neighborhoods. Trees topped to near death, hedges clipped into ungodly shapes, scraggly ground covers barely growing where they don't belong.
Billy Goodnick despises all of these, and orders his own custom yellow crime tape to prove it.
Goodnick is a guy with a lot of talents: He's a former landscape architect for Santa Barbara, a drummer with the band King Bee, a founder of Crimes Against Horticulture (where bad taste meets power tools), and a blogger at Garden Wise Guy.
Goodnick recently penned his first book, "Yards, Turn Any Outdoor Space Into the Garden of Your Dreams" (St. Lynn's Press).
"My book skips the books everybody reads first," Goodnick said. "This is the book that teaches you how to think like a landscape designer."
The book guides you through the thought process of a professional by asking the grander questions about design: What will the space be used for, how large does it need to be, where will the paths go and why?
"Yards" doesn't teach you how to lay a garden path, per se, but it shows you what a path should look like, scale- and design-wise, and asks you why you want one.
"Too many people start a landscape by going to nursery and picking out plants," Goodnick said. "In landscape design, plants come last, function comes first."
Goodnick wasn't raised in a horticultural family. Brooklyn row house was more like it. But when the Goodnicks finally landed their first tract home in the San Fernando Valley, he was able to practice his drums without bothering the neighbors.
Later a trip to the beach to gather rocks with a girlfriend got him his start.
"I wanted to make a turtle bowl for the rocks," Goodnick said, "and bought a low bonsai dish to do it."
It was what Goodnick describes as his spider plant/macramé phase in the early '70s.
Eventually he was growing bonsai in his bonsai dish, and that prompted him to finish college at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo with a degree in landscape architecture.
Goodnick says crimes against horticulture happen because homeowners buy the wrong the plant for the place. Eventually, it outgrows its space, and the power tools come out.
"I want to teach people how to plant sustainably. In other words, if you want to hide your neighbor's roof from your view, there are appropriate plants to do that."
Unsustainable is a bougainvillea in a window box, Goodnick says. It won't take long for it to behave inappropriately.
"If you don't want to see your neighbor's roofline, you need to put something in the way," he said. "A good designer will figure out what this is and make sure it's drop-dead gorgeous in the process."
His book demystifies landscape design and drills it down to understandable chapters. Read the book and it will teach you how to "wave your arms around" first and look at the big picture before you dig in.

His Beatitude Archbishop Ieronymos of Athens and All Greece Receives Honorary Doctorate from Holy Cross School of Theology
May 18, 2013
BOSTON – Holy Cross Greek Orthodox School of Theology conferred today an Honorary Degree of Doctor of Divinity, Honoris Causa, to His Beatitude Archbishop Ieronymos II of Athens and All Greece, during its 71st graduation ceremony.
Archbishop Demetrios of America conferred the honorary title to the Primate of the Autocephalous Orthodox Church of Greece following the citation by the President of Hellenic College Holy Cross, Rev. Fr. Nicholas Triantafilou. In the citation, Fr. Triantafilou portrayed His Beatitude as a Hierarch, a Shepherd and a Leader and in recognition of his exceptional intellectual, pastoral and ecclesiastical achievements in general asked the recipient for "the singular privilege of honoring you and joining your name with that of our sacred institution."
Archbishop Ieronymos accepted the honor and delivered the commencement address to the graduates. In his address he said that "this School is indeed a jewel of our Church; a lighthouse of Orthodoxy in the vast Western Christian and multicultural world." He also outlined some crucial and essential questions facing prospective clergymen and Orthodoxy in general, and offered meaningful answers and paternal admonitions. (see the text in its entirety: http://www.goarch.org/news/ieronymosaddress20130518 )
The conferral of Degrees to a total of 63 graduates followed, 20 were graduates from Hellenic College and 43 from the Holy Cross School of Theology.
His Eminence Archbishop Demetrios of America spoke at the end of the ceremonies and summarized the key qualities of His Beatitude, noting "his uncompromising faith, his unconditional dedication to the Church and his high sensitivity to people who suffer."

Neal Spencer, British Museum
The houses at Amara West can look a little drab to the modern eye: brown mud walls, often with brown mud plaster and even brown clay floors. We are missing the wooden furniture and any textiles that might have broken this monotony, but it is also clear that some parts of houses were brightly painted.
British Museum conservator Philip Kevin has been studying and conserving fragments of painted plaster on mud from Mat Dalton's excavations in house E13.7 last year. After removing a rather dull white plaster layer from one fragment (F5133d), we can now see that earlier decoration featured yellow, blue, red and black.
It seems to consist of a yellow area bordered with a black line, and a more complex decorative motif to the right, which might have framed a door, or the shrine we believe was located in this room.
Further fragments will hopefully reveal more of the room's original decoration, and the discovery of areas where pigments might have been prepared provides potential for further avenues of research.

Skip to comments.Why conservatives are abandoning the 'gay' issue
Posted on 08/17/2010 1:50:23 PM PDT by Maelstorm
"Do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own?" 1 Corinthians 6:19 NKJV
Sex is sacred.
For millennia, this biblical principle was the bedrock moral value of the Western World.
The mysterious portal through which human beings enter this world, sex was to be reserved exclusively for a man and a woman joined permanently by marriage vows, and all other forms and circumstances of sexual expression were forbidden locked away, as it were, in a sort of Pandoras Box, heavily guarded by the sentinels of Judeo-Christian Civilization. Confining sex to marriage was universally seen as essential to strong marital unions and secure families, and thus to the very fabric of civilization itself.
However, this strict but divinely inspired and life-protecting moral code after enabling century after century of dazzling societal evolution in the Western world has unraveled in our own lifetimes.
The change first emerged into stark public view during the 1960s under the banner of "sexual liberation" and "gay liberation." While the public was distracted by colorful spectacles of youthful rebellion, psychedelic drug use and the rock "invasion," just below the surface a full-bore assault on Western institutions and values particularly traditional sexual morality was taking place.
(Excerpt) Read more at wnd.com ...
Liberals don't believe anything is wrong. A society with that attitude will not survive.
If you believe the Bible is the word of God then you cannot be a gay rights supporter. The problem here is that many mainstream churche$$$$ not only condone same sex marriage but also allow their clergy to be gay.
This conservative is 'picking his battles' and sees far more destructive things going on at the hands of Obama and the Democrat majorities in the House and Senate.
Homosexuality is way down on the list of things I'm concerned about at this point. People are going to be attracted to whomever they're attracted to. Not much you can do to stop that.
I believe that marriage is between a man and a woman, but I'm devoting most of my energy towards driving the leftists and radicals out of the government, repealing Obamacare, stopping Cap & Trade and preserving what's left of the country I grew up in.
You can only fight so many things at any one time...
The question is how much the government should be used to enforce moral codes.
Way too many conservatives started excusing people who had sex outside of marriage, which is just as much a sin as homosexual sex. Once you start excusing any sin, all sin is not far behind.
But that's because too many conservatives found divorce or sexual dalliances to be convenient or desirable, and didn't want their own actions to be considered immoral.
Who do you think it was that calibrated Obama's moral compass?Don't get caught in the trap of confusing Liberty with the fatal liberalism that substitutes the Truth with Lies - as so many have, even here on FR.Read Romans 1:25+ and pay attention to the order of precedence. What prompted the Roman's historical observation there?
You can NOT trade the Truth for Lies. -- "Do what thou wilt" is NOT "the whole of the Law".
Not high on your list - when Proliferation of sexual perversion was a precursor to the rise of National Socialism in Nazi Germany?
Why not? The more attention you give them, the more they want.
Pleased to meet you, you just found one. I cannot imagine caring less who my neighbor sleeps with so long as he or she obeys the law. I don't have a position I care much about on the subject of gay marriage but feel that serial divorcers probably do as much damage to the institution of marriage as gay marriage would. I also would never condone any forcible acceptance of lifestyles beyond the obvious admonishment that only those without sin should be first in line at the stone pile.
Socialist are a far bigger threat to our way of life than are Log Cabin Republicans, IMHO.
The thing is, you need a strong power base to accomplish your current goals. The power base in the American family - which will disappear with gay marriage.
Preserving traditional families first is your only chance to succeed.
If were truly set in your own mind and spirit on picking your battles in a way that excludes this issue you would not have even bothered reading this thread. The headline alone would have indicated it's not something meaningful to you.
The fact that still are interested in this particular battle is indicated by your response. And that you responded rather than read and not respond means you have more than a residue of curiosity about the issue. The fact that you posted to warn off others must be read as really a note to yourself.
You yourself are not fortified in your opinion.
I'm just letting you see what you yourself are thinking. Thank me later.
You mean the progressive RINO crowd that pretended to be "fiscally" conservative, and obviously wasn't?The perverted jack wagons who helped systemically corrupt this nation's moral character - and imploded our financial infrastructure in the process......those Log Cabin RINOs?
Your expressed attitude is a libertarian smokescreen for those who are apathetic about homo-fascism, at best, or wholly endorse it, at worse. Press such people for the crux of the issue, and they will invariably come forward with some nonsense such that they believe in "civil unions" that give the same benefits as marriage, essentially "marriage" by another name.
You can fight many things at once, if with nothing other than your verbal protest. We must name the sin, even from the heart of the beast. But libertarians/CINO's (conservatives in name only) won't do even this, which belies their true leanings. Your refusal to fight even one facet of radical leftism invalidates your other conservative efforts to some degree.
So do you support Prop 8 or do you support the arbitrary ruling of a judge disregarding the will of the people? You don't support hate crimes legislation? You don't believe military personnel should be punished and schools forced to teach homosexual activist positions? This isn't about serial divorcees but on a side note homosexuals where they are allowed marriage have a far greater rate of divorce. It isn't even about whether you believe gays should be allowed to be "married" they can do that without legal standing already. It is about forcing through Judicial fiat and misleading activist rhetoric communities to license a thing called homosexual "marriage" which runs counter to reason.
The same methods that are use to produce socialism are used to norm homosexuality. The lies, the pseudoscience, the inaccurate picture of human sexuality. I assure you that once one believes that homosexuality is normal and acceptable they will believe and accept almost anything.
Also socialism is fed by false problems, suddenly we need to create complex programs to "protect" homosexuals and "questioning" youth. Suddenly we have to make special arrangements to appease every demand of the Homosexual activist who has suffered not a tenth of the abuse that was heaped on Ethnic and racial groups.
Gay activism and the mindset of sexual political activism in general has led to much of the mess we see our selves in.
It would do you well to spend some time researching the issue instead of parroting cowardly liberal viewpoints.
I haven't read the thread. I read the article. I expected to be attacked by nitwits like you who presume to know everything about me and what my thoughts are, based upon a stated personal opinion. And, for your information, my opinion is just as valid as anyone else's.
"The headline alone would have indicated its not something meaningful to you."
The headline, alone, is exactly why I expressed my opinion. Because Beck, Limbaugh and others don't turn red in the face and jump up and down over gay marriage means they've abandoned conservative and Christian principles and are on their way to Hell? I don't know what their reasons are for not being in full-attack mode over this, and I don't care. I expressed my opinion, and you can talk all day about what I'm thinking and what my comment means. You know what? You haven't the faintest idea, because you ain't in my head. You just like to hear yourself talk.
"The fact that still are interested in this particular battle is indicated by your response. And that you responded rather than read and not respond means you have more than a residue of curiosity about the issue."
Oh -- that makes a lot of sense. I'm curious about how up can look like down when I bend my head and look to the sky and consider that gravity is holding my feet to the ground. I'm interested in a lot of things, and I read to learn. It doesn't mean that I believe or agree with everything I read.
"The fact that you posted to warn off others must be read as really a note to yourself."
Boy, you're just filled with "facts", aren't you? I posted to express my opinion, and don't particularly care if you or anybody else agrees with it. Warn others off? Get a grip.
"You yourself are not fortified in your opinion."
Another impressive, yet empty, profundity. Just exactly what the hell is that supposed to mean? (He asked, rhetorically, because he has no intention of wasting time poring over any additional twaddle you want to throw out on the subject.)
"Im just letting you see what you yourself are thinking."
Wanna buy a few commas? You really should use one on occasion. In the meantime, I'm happy to finally know what I'm thinking. My initial thought was to say "Gee, thanks". But you told me not to...
"Thank me later."
Don't hold your breath.
To anyone else reading this: I expected to be attacked for having the temerity to express an opinion that's contrary to all of you who think you know God better than I do, and I made a promise to myself that I wouldn't waste my energy reading and debating the 'true meaning' of what I've written. This one got to me, though and I've broken that promise. But this is the only response that I'll be tendering.
I shall neither read nor write another word in this thread. So enjoy yourselves and hack away. Waste your own time and impress those who read to the end that you "really told that guy off"! You know that old expression -- "Never argue with a pig; it just frustrates you and annoys the pig."?? Bingo.
I am, indeed, "fortified" in my opinion, and am not about to be swayed by self-righteous idiots who purport to know my thoughts better than I do. You don't agree with me? Fine. We don't agree.
Heh. "Penetrated." Heh heh.
Okay, now that I've got that out of my system,
I found this to be somewhat convicting. I'd started drifting toward a libertarian view on this, thinking, "I can't force my religion on them, or they can force theirs on me." And it does appear that that is exactly what they are trying to do; in actuality, they are trying to violate my right to disagree with them—the author makes a beautiful Orwellian metaphor, calling this "thoughtcrime."
He's right. It's oil and water. The two freedoms (to same sex marriage or religion) are mutually exclusive. May God deliver us.
I am not you.
"Liberals dont believe anything is wrong"
Unfortunately, extreme libertarians don't necessarily either. They go with "as long as it is between two consenting adults." That is why I call hardcore libertarians "libertines"
Remember: Politics-not science-decided that homosexuals are 'normal'
Unless you'd like to argue the opposite.
First, you would be well advised not to insinuate a connection between me and cowardice.
Second, get someone to read to you my earlier response slowly, explaining the big words, wherein I stated I had no strong feelings about gay marriage, a position I am entitled to.
If you need to create a strawman to argue with be sure to leave me uninvolved.
"preserving what's left of the country I grew up in."
In large part because of the success of the sodomite agenda the same country I grew up in too is nearly unrecognizable. Its as deadly to the moral and social health of a nation,if not more so than big government.
Desensitized much?Was this instinctive defect rendered at birth or as a result of politically correct association and indoctrination?Do you similarly lack the instinctive revulsion which protects normal humans from eating rotten food because it tastes and smells bad?
LOL. Or what?
Perhaps there is something about homosexuality that resonates so strongly with you that you feel compelled to publicly shout the loudest in condemning it. Not that that makes you a bad person...
The natural revulsion I feel is for those tiny little nazis who see themselves as somhow chosen to regulate life for others. They are very brave behind the keyboard, when their mommy let's them use it.
Gee, homosexuality has only been taboo in every long lasting social culture in history, maybe that "resonates" for some strange reason?
The behavior is immoral. Like murder, kidnapping, rape. And yes there have been times and places where each one of those vices were legally practiced by free people. Ever hear of that word, "vice", kinda rare in your neck of the woods I'd think — a helpful concept though — it means something that's bad to do and yet can become a habit for some.
The ancient wisdom of making homosexuality taboo has many solid reasons. To be honest you've probably read or heard many or most of them,. But, grasshopper, the power of the dark side is very strong. It's easy to find some perfectly "logical" reason why all of human history and moral code development is wrong and your chosen vice is just the thing for you.
Legalizing homosexuality is incredibly destructive to a society. It is suicide.
"There are many other examples, even among top conservatives. It seems most, if not all, are falling away from this jugular issue for the same reason: They're afraid"
Give me a break. This makes no sense at all. Ann Coulter is afraid of homosexuals? Why the heck is she voluntarily going to speak at their conference? No one would have persecuted her if she had been conveniently busy with something else that evening. Fear doesn't guide Ann's speaking or writing. No, this is something else, entirely.
I'm not talking about Ann being afraid but I do believe Rush, Beck, and many others are or more so they don't want to deal with it. I think what I find the most offensive is that so many conservative voices use the word "homophobia" alongside racism and omit anti-antisemitism. Also these conservative voices totally ignore stories on campus intimidation and blacklisting of individuals who will not tow the Homosexual line. CNN, ABC, CBS, and MSNBC run stories like Mathew Sheppard but when it comes to the antithesis cases the conservative media is silent. It is as if there is an unspoken rule that you can't report on homosexuals unless it is positive or something detached like George Michael getting busted again for picking up dates in public restrooms.
I disagree. The battle is one and the same and it doesn't mean that you have to devote all your energy to it. As for people being attracted to whomever they are well that isn't the point. The point is dealing with the issue in a way that does not encourage homosexuality or sexual liberalism. People are attracted to many things, rubber coats, shoes, animals, etc. Homosexuality is the one place where what is just propaganda, pseudo science, and lies can be used to get people fired for not agreeing, get students kicked out of graduate programs for disagreeing. Doesn't that bother you? I'm not asking for any conservative voice to go 24/7 anti-gay but at least show that you are brave enough to occasionally report the news that isn't favorable to the hateful radicals. Occasionally have on the opposing view of scientists and professionals who do not agree.
Instead we get countless responses like this which tells me that maybe you really want homosexuality to be normed and you really want the view of homosexual radicals to be pushed down everyone's throat or else. Are you going to be silent when soldiers get reprimanded and kicked out the military for not wanting to submit to the gay activist propaganda? I'm sure you will be silent as will Rush, as will the mainstream media. You'll leave it up to worldnetdaily and cnsnews not wanting to give it more credibility. Right now much of the conservative media is ignoring what is happening on campuses with students being kicked out of programs for simply not being willing to tow the pro-gay line.
According to my opinion, and the opinions of many defectors of my caliber, only about 15% of time, money, and manpower is spent on espionage as such. The other 85% is a slow process which we call either ideological subversion, active measures, or psychological warfare. What it basically means is: to change the perception of reality of every American that despite of the abundance of information no one is able to come to sensible conclusions in the interest of defending themselves, their families, their community, and their country.
It's a great brainwashing process which goes very slow and is divided into four basic stages.
The first stage being "demoralization"....---KGB Defector Yuri Bezmenov, circa 1984
you sound like an expert on idiots. You no doubt developed your expertise at family reunions.
Sounds like leftist speak to me... There are centuries of historical precedence regarding what works and what society values (laws) versus this novel homosexual experiment imposed by the elitists on the yellow brick road...
Go right ahead and celebrate society being forced to value and give privilege to two men exploring each others colons in a 'committed' & 'loving' relationship premised upon a sexual disorder.
I will continue with my "bad thinking" while you choose irrelevance --thank you very much
I am with you as are a super majority of Americans outside of the media, Washington DC, Hollywood, and areas of Urban blight.
Note: My referenced response was not specific to any posting here -it was meant in general to ALL supposed conservatives that are 'afraid' to oppose the homosexual agenda...
Truth eventually always wins..
I think it will. This is an issue I wish I didn't have to worry about and I understand how others don't like having to deal with it either but that is what the left counts on that is how they have succeeded in pushing their agenda of sexual liberalism so far against the grain. They know if they can get us to shut up or be shamed into silence they win. They don't want a debate because it hurts them every time.
Seek professional help, child. Your fascination with homosexuality is an issue you can be helped to come to terms with. It's okay if you like gladiator movies and show tunes.
"The result? The result you can see...."
--KGB Defector Yuri Bezmenov
Nice personal attack -Saul Alinsky would be proud & the homosexual agenda perverts would cheer (you know, that enemy of my enemy thing)...
You apparently have no valid argument that supports your position which is?
You have accurately diagnosed the problem. This is why we are swimming upstream when even churches are telling gullible parishoners that homosexuality is a good thing, we're expecting political solutions from a spiritual problem.
First, clean up the churches.
These are the "churches" that are the most likely to promote homosexuality and virtuous. This is the list of the National Council of Churches which is an extremely liberal group.

My position is that the free, lawful choice of adults is none of my business. If that's hard for you to grasp, there's not much more to discuss. Lawful freedom is for everyone, not just the folks who please you.
Nice platitudes -meaningless BUT they sound nice -just like social justice sounds nice, economic justice too -whoopee!
The rubber hits the road though when you must define such things like "change you can believe in" or "lawful freedom" or even "lawful choice"... DEVOID of legitimate authority law is meaningless...
I do not grasp the ethereal and vague wisps you suggest graspable...
We specifically talk about homosexual sex here and this sex being a premise for marriage. I talk specifics you talk vague -can you feel this distinction -grasp it?
Homosexual sex may be legal -so what? Legality does not imply it a legitimate premise for a supposed societal value of homosexual marriage no more than the legality of group sex or swinging are legitimate premise for a supposed societal value of group or swinging marriages...
If homosexual couplings were of high value to society -were worthy of recognition and privilege THEN where have these great couplings been hiding?
Why do we not see these highly cherished and much sought after loving committed homosexual couplings until now? Why does society reject that which is so good? Why must this good thing be IMPOSED upon society much like the good of health care reform or any number of other leftist "goods" that society is FORCED to buy.
Legal? Sounds nice... Based upon what authority? --Ah... there's the rub...
We had a revolution against not only a country but the laws as well. The revolution was illegal under the law of man and it was only legitimate under the law and greater authority of God.
The same premise that authored legitimate revolution as well deemed legitimate the authority to establish a government upon and concurrently establish the supreme law of the land under. A nation under God -a government under God -laws under God... Do you see a theme?
Mix that into your platitudes and see what is what. Contrast your concept of legal with the one I suggest and ask yourself which one would have, for instance, been a barrier to the many 'lawful' atrocities committed by Communists, Socialists, and Nazis?
Learn to understand these specific facts.
The free, legal actions of other adults are not yours to control.
You are free to comment on them; you are not free to control them.
They do not have to have value or legitimacy in your eyes; no one needs to meet your expectations or your approval.
The truth is that the world doesn't give a rats a$$ what you think or say.
Least of all me.
Specific enough for you?
NO. You stated nothing specific to the issue of homosexual marriage. I see many words that at best imply your support of the legal freedom of two adults to engage in homosexual sex... I do not dispute this legal factoid that at best in this discussion is a red herring...
Setting aside the red herring, as well setting aside my obvious opposition to the claim that homosexual sex is beneficial and your at best acquiescence or at worst support --We discuss here "homosexual marriage" specifically -at least I do.
As such, THE REAL QUESTION IS: Why should I, or for that matter society, grant value, privilege, benefit, and subsidy to homosexual sex premised couplings?
I oppose the homosexual agenda and this absurd experiment being imposed upon society. Cloaking the absurd in the supposed cherished 'freedom of orifice diversity' which is all about disordered sex does nothing to legitize the illegitimate -that which society places no value in...
"Orifice diversity" is about as sound and legitimate premise for imposing value upon something that society regards as bankrupt...
We see in this case the government used as a tool by the morally devoid leftist elites to impose their values upon society... We see this and we as well see their useful idiots rallying to support them.
One question to ask is -are you one of the useful idiots?
I know I am not...
It's been my experience in over 60 years of life that the folks most interested in controlling the lives and choices of others are those least able to control themselves.
I think you are rapidly revealing yourself as a useless idiot. Is this finally specific enough for you or did the head injury take all your ability to reason?
It would appear you do not care about the issue, you have no opinion on the issue and you state this non position repeatedly...
It would probably take far less effort on your part to take no position and show no care by simply not posting on this subject.
Generally speaking, these homosexual agenda topics posted on FR are posted for the purpose of information and update premised upon furthering discussion and debate regarding how best to oppose the homosexual agenda.
If you simply wish to attempt to ridicule those who oppose the homosexual agenda then it is YOU who have a problem...
Take a hike wimp...
You can have the last word on this topic. Little tiny brainless children enjoy that.
You can only fight so many things at any one time..."
Roger that. Keep your eye on the big prize. All the the other stuff will take care of itself.
You can have the last word on this topic. Little tiny brainless children enjoy that.
Thank you so much for your continued persistent irrelevance...
I will continue as I see fit on this subject you have no opinion on...
conservatives are NOT abandoning the issue.
it is Republicans with too many homosexual staffers controlling them. Congress critters are those with too many DC poofy staffers who direct the message.
It is like expecting shep smith to report a postive pro-marriage amendment story.
As for commentators, it is clear they are in NYC news areas where the behind the sceense types; studio employees, reporters etc. are just more of the same.

Got a question on rule clarification, comments on rule enforcements or some memorable NHL stories? Kerry Fraser wants to answer your emails at firstname.lastname@example.com!
Hi Kerry, Great Column! On Saturday night we saw Rene Bourque hauled down on a breakaway with the Flyer's net empty. He was awarded a goal. Not that we minded a goal, but why was he not awarded a penalty shot? In Rule 24 it explicitly states that a goalie taken out for an extra man can return to his net, implying that this situation is not an automatic goal. Bruce Mazer
--- Hi Kerry,
In the last minute of the Montreal vs Philadelphia game on Saturday, how can you explain the automatic goal given to Rene Bourque? The rule is that if a player would have had a penalty shot on the empty net, it's an automatic goal, but I saw nothing that would have warranted a penalty shot for Bourque. Jakub Voracek made a shoulder-to-shoulder check and the only infraction I saw on the play was Bourque elbowing Voracek in the face. I see no reason this should have been called an automatic goal, and how Bourque avoided a penalty.
Thanks,Alex Williams --- Kerry, When a team pulls a goalie for the extra attacker, are they allowed to re-insert him if the team gets assessed a penalty shot for an infraction? OR: Is it deemed that because the goal was empty that a penalty shot would be awarded against an empty net or a net that was guarded only by a player who was on the ice at the time of the infraction? Is this the reason why the ref in the Habs/Flyers game gave a goal automatically to Bourque even though the puck never crossed the line? That could be a time-saving decision because no one in the NHL would miss a penalty shot on an empty net. Even in the NFL I have never seen a TD awarded without the ball actually caught or carried into the end zone. I have seen them place it on the 1-yard line and most teams can punch it in from there but I have also seen many defences stop the TD or seen other teams fumble the ball away etc. I thought Bourque would get a penalty shot on an empty net or one with a non-goalie player in the crease. Please explain. Cheers,Nik Palekar
Dr. Bruce, Alex and Nik:
The goal was awarded to Rene Bourque under rule 57.4 which states, "If, when the opposing goalkeeper has been removed from the ice, a player in control of the puck in the neutral or attacking zone is tripped or otherwise fouled with no opposition between him and the opposing goal, thus preventing a reasonable scoring opportunity, the referee shall immediately stop play and award a goal to the attacking team."
With Flyers goalkeeper Brian Boucher on the bench for an extra attacker, Montreal gained possession of the puck following a faceoff in their end zone through some good grunt work down low by the Habs defense pairing of Raphael Diaz and Josh Georges. Georges eventually poked the puck to Brian Gionta on the right side half-wall and the Canadiens captain immediately wheeled and threw a pass into the high slot and right onto the tape of a streaking Rene Bouque.
Rene Bourque, in full stride, had no opposing Philadelphia Flyer to pass as he skated through the neutral zone and over the Flyers blue line toward the unattended net. Jakub Voracek attempted to catch Bourque from the opposite side angle but had too much ice to make up to place himself in a position ahead of Bourque. From this deficient position all Voracek could do was to foul Bourque from behind (or off his back shoulder if you wish.) When Rene Bourque felt Voracek grab him from behind, Bourque threw his arm back to fend off the Flyer player which resulted in a pretty good elbow plant on Jake's nose.
Let me provide a bullet point recap to answer other questions that you might have on this or similar plays:
- A goal was immediately awarded the instant that Jakub Voracek fouled Rene Bourque from behind with Brian Boucher removed from the ice for an extra attacker as per Rule 57.4.
- If it was deemed that Rene Bourque deserved an elbowing penalty after initially being fouled from behind by Voracek the awarded goal would stand and a minor penalty would be assessed to Bourque. There are no "offsetting penalties" in this case like you can see in the NFL.
- While highly unlikely, if the referee deemed that Rene Bourque committed the only infraction on the play for elbowing Voracek, the whistle would immediately be blown to assess an elbow infraction to Bourque since the Montreal player had possession of the puck.
- The only way that a penalty shot could be assessed on a play of this nature is if the Flyers goalkeeper was in the net and had not been removed for an extra attacker. Rule 57.3
- Since Rene Bourque was awarded a goal (the puck did not enter the net) how can two assists have been credited on the play to Brian Gionta and Josh Georges? Answer - Rule 33.2 says, "Assists can be given to deserving players on a goal that has been awarded by the referee, if the official scorer deems that assists would have been given on the eventual goal anyway." Gionta and Georges made this play happen.
- If a goalkeeper has been removed for an extra attacker and a violation of the rules calls for a penalty shot to be assessed can the offending team put their goalkeeper back in the net to defend against the penalty shot? Answer; Yes as per rule 24.2 - "If at the time a penalty shot is awarded, the goalkeeper of the penalized team has been removed from the ice to substitute another player, the goalkeeper shall be permitted to return to the ice before the penalty shot is taken". This could only happen where the rules prescribe for a penalty shot to be assessed and not where a goal is "awarded."
- Who can defend against a penalty shot? Only a player designated as a goalkeeper or alternate goalkeeper may defend against the penalty shot. Rule 24.2 (If the alternate goalkeeper replaces their goalkeeper to defend against a penalty shot he must remain in the game until the next stoppage of play.)
In summation, once the goalkeeper has been pulled for an extra attacker, the odds favour that a goal will be awarded for violations that might previously have called for the assessment of a penalty shot under the playing rules.

Hand Sanitizer Fact #3:Most alcohol-based instant hand sanitizers fight germs for only 30 seconds. 4 Hour Protection protects you and your family against self-contamination and bacteria for hours. In fact, it would take more than 240 applications of an alcohol-based sanitizing gel to equal the effectiveness of a single application of 4 Hour Protection. Hand Sanitizer Fact #4:Many popular alcohol-based hand sanitizer gels dry out the skin. Enriched with moisturizing agents, 4 Hour Protection softens and soothes the skin with every application and will not dry out the hands.

Human Anatomy and the iPAD2
I invite you to attend a special event during finals week. Additional details found below.
The library and CDLR co-sponsored an iPAD pilot program this semester for Human Anatomy II (KINE 301). Every student in the
class was provided an iPAD for the entire semester. Based on feedback I have already received from students, the pilot was a
success! Next Thursday, the students and I will discuss/present how iPADs were incorporated into all aspects of the course. Stop by to listen to students talk about their experience with note-taking, student response systems, a recordable whiteboard, content specific applications, and other mobile device strengths/weaknesses.
Light refreshments will be provided by the CDLR. Hope to see you there!

Gary Russel, he did not play this year becaue he was "academically ineligble". Gopher fans have said he has basically no character or disicpline problems. his stats in 05 were 186 carries for 1130 yards and 18 TDs backing up Maroney. we could probably get him in the 3rd or 4th round, and would be a huge steal moe than likely.

Any Chance In Hell We Take A Chance On This Guy? RB
Posted 14 January 2007 - 02:07 AM
Posted 14 January 2007 - 02:26 AM
He's a possibility, it depends how he does at the combine. I don't understand why he would come out though especially after not playing this entire season, and not getting many looks.
Thanks for the Memories
Posted 14 January 2007 - 05:27 AM
most likely not, a huge trait Mangini looks for in his players is intelligence.
Posted 14 January 2007 - 01:04 PM
I don't think that he'll declare, just because he has the chance to be the feature back if he goes to class. Gophers are getting a new coach, and there is the recognition of MN backs doing well, so he might think about it, but he has to show something as a starter first. Maybe a 4-5th rounder now, but after seeing Maroney and Barber go higher, I think he'll stay and try and move himself up a few rounds. He will be worth a look, but not until next year.
Posted 14 January 2007 - 01:08 PM
pretty sure he already declared
Posted 14 January 2007 - 01:39 PM
Must have, I can't find him on the Gopher roster or in next year's outlook, he may have just left the team altogether after his graded dropped. Again, maybe a 4-5th round pick, let's see who we can get in the 1st.

Great For Travel To 220-240v With Type C/cee 7/16 Europlug CountriesHaving this flat iron is a great convenience! How nice it is to be able to travel abroad and know that I don't have to stress about hunting down a drugstore brand, cheap (and thus, likely damaging) flat iron compatible w/ 220-240V. This Sedu is most definitely a step up from from that. It's a pro that knows how to act like it. I won't go so far as to say that it's the end-all of all amazing irons, because it isn't. But it IS a fantastic iron that you'll appreciate if, like me, you have wavy, normal texture, heavily color-treated hair, because come on--who doesn't want to look good, especially away from home? ;) The plates appear to be well-made, and even at it's highest temperature it doesn't fry my hair. I bought the 1" plate version because I love to flip my hair at the ends and this is perfect for that. So far I've used it in Spain and Argentina. It behaved beautifully. I make a point of packing it carefully and being as gentle as possible because I don't want it to become a casualty of rough travel (it's pricey, so take it in your carry-on, not checked bags. My suggestion is to not wrap the cord around the iron, but rather follow the natural "fold" points and pack the iron in the Folica sleeve, and the cord in the outer flap w/ the velcro closing). I bought this flat iron because Type C/Europlug is most common for European and Latin American countries that use 220-240V. I also took it to France, for example, who, while also being 220-240V country, doesn't use Type C, but I bought a travel adapter in Spain specific for use on Type C appliances. Voilá, no problems! All I needed was to be able to plug into a French outlet and use the iron as I normally would. Overall, it's been a great buy. Flat irons are one of those hair appliances where you truly should use one specific to the electric current/voltage/wattage of the country you're using it in. From experience I can tell you that high-end flat irons (GHD, Chi, etc) just don't "translate" well when used w/ a voltage converter or adapter-plus-voltage converter. There's a reason they don't make them dual voltage! Low-end dual voltage hot rollers & hair dryer, yes; but not flat irons. And because this one is so expensive, I'm like most of you reading this: I'm crossing my fingers that I don't run into a situation, as some reviewers below, where the iron breaks and putzes out after minimal/short-term use. So far, so good. It's a pricey investment and I'm hoping it lasts for years, as my other high-end flat irons have. Good luck and good travels, everyone!Apr 2, 2013KellineHAIR TYPEAuburn / Normal Hair / Dry Hair / Color Treated Hair

Works Well For Only A Month Or So!I wrote a review on this before saying how wonderful this iron is! I really regret that!
It stopped working well after few months! I don't even use it so much! I spent so much money but this product left me very sad!
It doesn't heat up like it used to in the beginning! DO NOT get it!
I finally got smoothing process done on my hair which costs me $400 ...NOw no hassle for straightening,...My hair feels silky shiny and so smooth! I don't have to straighten my hair now for another year!

Great Product For Curly Hair!When I was in the U.S. I was addicted to CHI hair straighteners. I thought I wasn't going to be able to live without my CHI. When I moved to Germany -- I read all of the reviews for the Sedu, so I thought I would give it a try - and I am glad I did! This product is amazing! I am Hispanic and I have really curly hair, but when I use the SEDU, I look like I have naturally straight hair. I would recommend this product to everyone!Jan 16, 2012JazmineHAIR TYPEDark Brown / Curly Hair / Color Treated Hair

Pretty GoodI bought this Sedu for a trip to Europe, having read all the stories about US flatiron blowouts with voltage converters overseas. I used it three times during my trip (Italy, Croatia), and had no problems. I like the adjustable temp, although even the higher temps did not handle my thick, curly hair as well as my US GHD. Still, nice to have a good flatiron that worked easily in Europe. I recommend it.Aug 4, 2011Mari / New York, NYHAIR TYPEDark Brown / Thick or Coarse Hair / Relaxed Hair / Chemically Treated Hair

This Flat Iron Works Great !I bought the Sedu Pro Ionic Ceramic Tourmaline Straightner -plug type C for a recent trip to Italy. I'm so glad that I bought it ! I have coarse, curly hair and it did a fantastic job - my hair was smooth and silky. The Sedu worked as good as the GHD flat iron I have at home. It was worth it to spend the money to buy a flat iron with the 220-240 V and the correct plug type. On a previous trip to Europe a few years ago I tried to use my usual flat iron with an adapter and converter, but it not work at all.Apr 9, 2010MaryHAIR TYPECurly Hair

That Is All It TookI haven't even ordered it yet, but if I am going to spend over $100 on something, it better work for years! The fact that two reviews say that it didn't last more than two months, that is all it took. Not worth the money, moving on.Jan 28, 2010Dmoh

It Is A Really Great Straightener. I Would Def. Recommend Anyone To Get It.I have the Chi straightener at home and i love it too. It is just that i moved to my home country where the voltage is 220V and i couldnt use my chi so i decided to get another chi that i could use here but instead i came across this straightener and i do not regret it finding it!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE IT. It gets hot suuuuper fast. It straights my hair great! It does everything it promises. I only use it once a week though bc i do not like putting so much heat on my hair but it works amazingly! I would recomend anyone to get it, you will not regret the purchase!!Jan 17, 2010Romy / Asuncion, Paraguay

Canada earns Olympic spot in men's and women's beach volleyball
The men's team comprised of Christian Redmann of
''This is just starting to sink in now, it is so exciting,'' said an emotional Reader. ''We've received just so much support over that we can't thank everybody enough. We knew that
The duo of Binstock/Reader sealed the spot to
Binstock/Reader opened the day with a 2-0 (21-11, 21-13) victory over Ulises and Rodolfo Ontiveros of Mexico-B, only to see Miramontes/Virgen coming back with a strong 2-0 (21-15, 21-18) showing against Redmann/ Saxton.
Redmann/Saxton edged the brothers Ontiveros 2-0 (21-16, 21-18) to set the stage for the final clash of the competition in front of around 2,500 spectators.
''That fourth match was probably the most pressure we've ever faced in our career,'' said Binstock. ''we had our backs to the wall and 2,000 Mexican fans cheering against us. We were down almost the entire third set but like we've had so many times this season we found a way to get it done.''
In the women's final,
Heather Bansley and Elizabeth Maloney paved the road to
"It is like a dream coming true," Maloney said after the victory. "We are very happy about going to the beach volleyball tournament of the Olympics."
"It is great to qualify to the Olympics," Bansley added. "It has been a lot of fun here and we kept our game plan."
Lessard and Martin felt their key match was against Bibiana and Garcia.
''They are one of the strongest teams in our zone,'' said Lessard. ''One of them is 6'4'' and is very strong at the net and she dominated the second set. But we adjusted well in the third we were strong emotionally and mentally. The Mexicans were nervous and we capitalized on that.''
To decide which pair gets the Olympic spots, the two Canadian teams that combined forces here will now square off at the Canadian trials on July 7 at

Aging of Essential Oils
I see sometimes mentioned that essential oils get better with time or age.
A couple questions,
Is that true with all oils?
Do oils evaporate if expose to air i.e. the lid left off?
Will oils become more potent if aged, and do they age in a close bottle or left with the lid off?
What is the shelf life of oils?

Re: Aging of Essential Oils
:) There's a lot of factors involved.
Yes, some oils get better with age, some oils have such a long "shelf life" that it doesn't really matter, and some should be relatively fresh (but not JUST distilled -- the best distillers won't ship some of their oils until they're a few weeks old -- Lavender and Helichrysum are examples.
SO, to answer your questions:
Oils that get better with age: Sandalwood tops the list, as it will actually be more costly the older the 'vintage'. I've found other woods to improve with age: Palo Santo, and likely Rosewood, also perhaps Cedarwood, though I have not experienced one that I new was aged.
Many heavier oils and resin oils also seem to improve with age: Patchouli, Vetiver, Frankincense (CO2 at least), Myrrh, likely Spikenard.
Oils will evaporate if you leave the lid off. This isn't typically done to age an oil faster. You'll simply loose oil. A quality aged Patchouli or Sandalwood has just been stored away for some time (a year at least), but not in an open bottle or jar.
The oils do not necessarily become more biochemically therapeutically more potent. They just seem to have nicer aromas. We have a large library here at the store, and a lot of cumulative knowledge. No one has said an aged sandalwood will be more effective at preventing skin cancer (just an example from the research on the oil). The oil MAY thicken, but that's not necessarily an improvement.
There's generally groups of shelf lives, and always exceptions. Some should be within the last year's distillation: Lavender, Tea Tree, Neroli, ALL pressed citrus oils -- however, a very respected aromatherapist (writer and holder of a Ph.D.) said even these oils can last almost indefinitely if stored in a dark bottle, with as little air space in the bottle as possible, and kept in a cool location. Their seems to be debate about refrigeration, but it seems the latest school of thought is that this is perfectly fine, as long as that's your "storage" bottle, not your "working" bottle. Don't take it in and out of the cold frequently -- keep a bottle out that you work from, and occasionally refill that.
So, it would be a very long and complex list to discuss the shelf life of each oil. One of our projects is putting up more technical documentation about each oil, and this will appear there.
This is a GENERAL order of shelf lives, from shortest to longest, if simply kept in a bottle that's been opened, but with the cap on and kept out of light and heat:
1 - Pressed citrus oils and Neroli: One year or less
2 - Florals (but not Helichrysum, for example -- "florals" with floral aromas"
3 - Herbal oils - there's a wide range, particularly if you include the spice oils. Cinnamon will last a long time, but Tea Tree has been shown to cause contact dermatitis if it's been left out and not stored properly after a year.
4 - There are some oils where age doesn't seem to affect them either way. Certainly Helichrysum (some say a 5 year shelf life) is an example.
5 - Then oils that improve aromatically with age (but there's no evidence, again, for changes in therapeutics, other than aromatically).
Whew! Bottom line is, there's only a few oils that are certain to improve aromatically with age: Sandalwood and Patchouli are the most well known. The way they are most commonly aged is just stored away for a long time. And with other oils, just be aware of your storage methods. Light, heat and air CAN degrade the therapeutic value of SOME oils (though there is very little data on this -- other than these oils seem to cause skin irritation for a small group of the population.
Hope this helps! Please let us know if we can clarify any of this

I have a bottle of Grapeseed oil that is smelling kind of like yeast. Is it still okay to use? I've tried to keep it out of the sunlight, but it just sits on the shelf. Am I storing my oils wrong? How should I store them?

Re: Aging of Essential Oils
Adding about 2 drops of Rosemary Antioxidant to each ounce of carrier oils to prevent them from going rancid works very well for me. This will also work for shorter-lived essential oils such as citrus ones.
If your grapeseed oil smells bad, best to toss it and start fresh.

BTW, the most antioxidant oil is Clove Oil (according to the ORAC value).

The ASICS Gel Excel33 3 is a performance uptempo running shoe designed for a neutral or supinated foot motion.
Step up your run with the lightweight and responsive feel of the ASICS Gel Excel33 3. A dual-layered FluidRide midsole brings you a bouncy ride while Gel units in the heel protect you from the miles. A stretchy mesh upper seamlessly hugs your foot for a personalized and secure fit, allowing you to take on the run.
Model Number:
Weight: 8.9 oz (size 9)
Stack Height: Heel (28mm), Forefoot (18mm)
Available Widths: D=Medium
How It Fits (based on width D)
Comments: Picked these up on the current (June 2014) special and they are pretty decent. Soft but not bottomless and an overall pleasant run. I don't really think about them. A good trainer but I wouldn't race in them. They are tearing holes in my right achilles, though. Not sure what the deal with that is. The only other shoes I've had that problem with is the zoom elite. Anyway, I'd still recommend them. I run 60-70 mpw at a 6:45-7:15 pace.
From: Jeff, Brooklyn, NY, USA. June 25th 2014
Comments: Just tried the excel33 3 and found it was too soft in the cushioning department. Felt like I was loosing rebound energy
From: Huzey
Comments: The first version was almost perfect... but too squishy at faster paces. The second version was almost perfect... but too firm at slower paces (and the upper durability was terrible). I was skeptical of this drastic update, and it definitely has a slightly different fit and ride from the first two, but it's close and it seems to fix the single issue I had with each of the previous versions. I haven't found anything I don't love about this shoe.
From: Sky, HVL, CA, USA. May 16th 2014
Comments: Great shoe. Neutral, light, on the softer side, but not spongey, Nike Free inspired upper, very flexible and the gel is noticeable but not intrusive on the ride. I sized down 1/2 from my normal shoes, but that is more about personal preference, as I go sockless about 25% of the time. I did notice a touch of heel slip, the back is not as "cuppy" as other Asics models. Working these into the rotation, along with my Brooks Pure Cadence and Saucouny Kinvara 4's. Happy purchase.

ACE Fit Share
Starting Position: Sit on a mat or floor with your legs in a wide "V" position, as illustrated. Sit completely upright, with your torso vertical to the floor, head aligned with your spine. Your knees should be straight and your toes pointed toward the ceiling. Be aware that the angle of your legs may need to be adjusted in order for you to achieve this upright posture. Reach your arms out in front of your body and place your palms flat on the mat/floor.
Engage your abdominal muscles to stabilize your spine. Turn your torso to face one leg. Place your hands upon the top of that thigh. Gently exhale as you slowly hinge forward from your hips. Reach forward with your hands, sliding them towards your ankles. Keep your back flat. Do not allow your spine to round. Your knees should be straight with your toes toward the ceiling throughout the stretch. You should feel a stretch through your inner thighs, hamstrings and side of your trunk with some stretching in your low, middle and upper back.
Continue to hinge and reach forward to the point of tension in the stretch. Do not bounce or push to a point of pain. Hold this position for 15 - 30 seconds. Relax and returning to your starting position. Repeat 2-4 times on each leg.
Exercise Variation: This stretch can become more dynamic by performing slow, controlled movements to complete 1 set of 5 - 10 repetitions with each leg, holding the stretched position for 1 - 2 seconds.To maximize the benefits of a stretch and reduce the potential for injury, it is important to stretch only to the point of tension, avoid bouncing and control movement at other segments of the body. During this stretch, avoid any excessive rounding of your low back.
