We're set for a cracking game at Loftus on Saturday as the Wallabies go in search of their sixth consecutive win over the Springboks.
If the history books are anything to go by, we're set for a cracking game at Loftus Versfeld on Saturday as the Wallabies go in search of their sixth consecutive win over the Springboks.
Positive team selections, bone-dry weather, a venue with a history of high-scoring fixtures (especially between these sides) and two coaches looking to prove a point: all the indicators suggest we're in for a treat and probably the highest scoring game of the Rugby Championship to date.
Both Heyneke Meyer and Robbie Deans said they expect a fast-paced game. The South Africa coach is eager to show Bok fans that his team can dance to more than one tune while his Wallaby counterpart has a long track record of leading sides that play positive rugby, despite what Quade 'I-think-I'm-Sonny-Bill-Williams-but-you-should-treat-me-like-Dan-Carter' Cooper would have us believe.
Fly-halves (as they tend to do) have been in the headlines this week and the spotlight will be firmly fixed on Johan Goosen and Kurtley Beale. Many fans and pundits firmly believe that the Cheetahs pivot is the embodiment of the path they hope the Boks will follow over the next for years. Considering Cooper's fall-out with Deans and the ARU, Beale could well find himself in a similar position for the Aussies, (assuming the current coaching staff manage to hang around.)
But we're getting ahead of ourselves and Bok fans in particular shouldn't delude themselves by thinking the wunderkind from Bloem is going to transform the way the Boks play overnight. As Meyer stressed at Wednesday's team announcement, Test rugby is a very different level to the Currie Cup and no one should expect Goosen to be cutting Australia's defence apart at will.
The Wallabies have won seven of the last eight Tests between these sides, including the previous two on South African soil. During the Deans era, Australia have claimed the spoils in three of their six games in the Republic. Prior to his arrival, they had won just once in SA in the professional era.
But they've never won at Loftus.
Even though victory in Bloemfontein two years ago ended their Highveld hoodoo, the thin air and hostile crowd in the South African capital have seen the home side to victory on all five previous Wallaby visits.
Deans has long maintained that teams of the past have made too much of the altitude factor and ended up psyching themselves out of the contest. When I spoke to young wing Dom Shipperley on Thursday, he had a similar take on the crowd, insisting the atmosphere wasn't an issue unless you made it one for yourself.
Fair points from both, but the numbers don't lie. Our tipster dug up some interesting stats for internationals in Pretoria, where the Boks are outscoring visiting teams by an average of 13 points in the second half. That number climbs to 16 against the Wallabies.
So it seems no matter their mental approach, the Wallabies will still have to overcome that lungs-on-fire sensation that is unavoidable in the last 20 minutes at 4,500 feet above sea level.
They've been on the Highveld for ten days, so they should be acclimatised. But even if they had been here for a year, handing out free Wallaby jerseys, it wouldn't make the 52,000-strong crowd any friendlier.
However if this injury-depleted Aussie squad can get that record-setting sixth straight win over the Boks, it'll be an occasion to be remembered.
Players to watch:
For South Africa: As mentioned above, all eyes will be on Johan Goosen, who at the tender age of 20 will be tasked with igniting the Bok attack. You have to be pretty special to replace Morne Steyn for a Test at Loftus. Expectations are sky-high but his team-mates reckon he thrives under pressure. Francois Louw played for Bath last week, meaning he's done a lot of traveling in the last fortnight. It'll be interesting to see when Marcell Coetzee needs to take over from the bench. Zane Kirchner is next in line to get the axe if public pressure has anything to do with Bok selections, but he's usually very solid on his home turf.
For Australia: Another young gun, Kurtley Beale will run the Wallabies backline, but his big boot is also set to come in handy in a territorial battle that will see punts fly 70ms when struck sweetly. He'll interchange positions with Berrick Barnes fairly regularly with the latter set be tested under the high ball. Up front Benn Robinson becomes the third Australian prop to reach his half century of international appearances and will want to build on the solid performance from the Wallaby scrum in Perth.
Head-to-head: With both teams set to use the favourable kicking conditions to seek out territory, the line-outs could make or break the attacking plans. South Africa have recalled their first-choice lock pairing of Eben Etzebeth and Andries Bekker, with the former returning from suspension and the latter looking to make amends for his nightmare game in Mendoza after a solid stint off the bench against the All Blacks. Meyer said earlier this week that Bekker was suited to the open game we all expect because his "strong point is to pitch up as a centre, ala Victor Matfield, on the wing sometimes!" Wallaby skipper Nathan Sharpe joins former openside George Smith as the most capped forward in the green and gold (playing his 110th Test), but it remains to be seen if the old warhorse will go the distance. 23-year-old Kane Douglas wins just his second cap, but at 122kg he's got the tools to make an impact.
Previous results:
2012: Australia won 26-19, Perth
2011: Australia won 11-9, Wellington
2011: Australia won 14-9, Durban
2011: Australia won 39-20, Sydney
2010: Australia won 41-39, Bloemfontein
2010: South Africa won 44-31, Pretoria
2010: Australia won 30-13, Brisbane
2009: Australia won 21-6, Brisbane
2009: South Africa won 32-25, Perth
2009: South Africa won 29-17, Cape Town
2008: South Africa won 53-8, Johannesburg
Prediction: There has been an average of 53 total points per game in Tests at Lofus and 50 between these sides, so the safe money is on a high-scoring game. We reckon the Boks looked good enough against the All Blacks to merit their favourites tag. South Africa by ten points!
The teams:
South African (revised): 15 Zane Kirchner, 14 Bryan Habana, 13 Jaco Taute, 12 Jean de Villiers (captain), 11 Francois Hougaard, 10 Johan Goosen, 9 Ruan Pienaar, 8 Duane Vermeulen, 7 Willem Alberts, 6 Francois Louw, 5 Andries Bekker, 4 Eben Etzebeth, 3 Jannie du Plessis, 2 Adriaan Strauss, 1 Tendai Mtawarira.

This time of summer is almost too good to be true. We have all kinds of local produce blossoming and blooming their way to our table. Perhaps some of you have your own gardens, or maybe you are lucky enough to live next to those who have gardens. It generally seems that those who are growing their own produce have an excess beyond what they consume themselves. Being a neighbor or friend has its blessings.
One of the most popular of these vegetables is zucchini. Zucchini has a wonderful delicate texture and flavor that is suitable for many types of cooking and baking. Quite simply, you can cut your zucchini in quarters lengthwise, then into half-inch pieces, lightly sauté in some garlic infused extra virgin olive oil, add a little thyme, or other fresh herb, some salt and pepper and it's on the table. Fabulous!
Those of you who are growing your own zucchini have a ready supply of zucchini flowers. These are considered quite a delicacy in many European countries. Here's a recipe for zucchini flowers tempura.
Zucchini Flowers Tempura
1 cup all purpose flour
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
5 tablespoons dry white wine
1 egg, separated
Vegetable oil for deep frying
12 zucchini flowers, stuffed if desired (if stuffed, secure with a toothpick)
Salt and pepper
Combine flour, olive oil, egg yolk, pinch of salt and wine in a small bowl; add 2/3 to ľ cup warm water to make a runny batter. Let stand for 1 hour.
Whisk the egg white in a grease free bowl to firm peaks and stir Ľ of the beaten egg white into the flour mixture. Now, gently fold the remaining egg white into the flour mixture, one half at a time.
Heat the vegetable oil to prepare for deep frying. Dip the flowers into the batter and gently shake off the excess. Fry to a light golden brown and remove to paper towel.
Season immediately with salt and pepper and serve. Perhaps you might use a couple of these to garnish a beautifully grilled steak or some chicken.
But not everyone has access to those prized zucchini flowers. So another popular use for zucchini is a quick bread. Zucchini Bread seems to be almost as American as apple pie. If zucchini bread is not made in our own home we all know several people who make it.
There are three basic methods to making quick breads. The biscuit method, which uses cold, hard saturated fats, such as butter or lard, to make flaky buttermilk biscuits. The creaming method which uses solid, but soft, fats such as butter at room temperature. The last is the muffin method which uses a liquid fat such as corn oil, canola oil or melted butter to produce a moist and tender product.
Zucchini Bread uses the muffin method, with liquid fat. Be careful, it is easy to overwork your batter. This would result in a product that is tough in texture and can have an effect called tunneling. Tunneling causes holes throughout the baked product.
Zucchini Bread
Yield: 2 loaves, 9 x 5 x 3
3 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1 1/4 cups sugar
1 cup light brown sugar
3 eggs
1 cup corn oil
1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups coarsely grated zucchini
4 ounces toasted pecan pieces
Prepare two 9 x 5 x 3 loaf pans, greasing and dusting the insides with flour, or use an already floured pan spray.
Preheat oven to 350.
Sift together all the dry ingredients and set aside. Put eggs, corn oil and vanilla together in a large bowl, beat lightly. Add the grated zucchini and pecan's to the dry ingredients and gently toss to coat. Fold all of this into the liquid ingredients, being sure to blend thoroughly, but do not overwork the batter.
Divide evenly between the two loaf pans and bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. About 50 to 60 minutes.

I grew up in a home where the family meal meant we all sat down together and talked during meals. I try that now, but my husband isn't so much on board. So, I'm wondering what fun things other people do during meal times to get the family sitdown time to be something kids and reluctant spouses look forward to?

Working Baby Boomers may be the group most stressed about their economic futures, according to the newly released results of the 2012 AARP election survey.
The over-50 citizen advocacy group called 1,852 registered voters, almost three-quarters of whom were 50 and older, between July 10 and July 16. An approximate 1,001 respondents were randomly sampled, and the remainder came from a focused random sample of 50-and-older adults to gain a greater clarity of data for the desired age group. Younger voters were those aged 18-to-49.
Survey workers gathered responses to questions in categories that, when taken as a whole, would create an "Anxiety Index" of voters concerns. Concerns such as inflation, taxes, retirement opportunities, financial security, and health care affordability.
All ages seemed to agree the national economy is in bad shape: three-quarters of voters 50-and-older and 18-to-49 classified the condition of the national economy as at least "Bad." Though a greater percentage of older voters classified the economy as "Very Bad"—43 percent versus 28 percent.
Younger voters and retirees were remarkably consistent in their responses to the question "How satisfied are you with your own financial situation today?" Sixty-six percent of respondents from both groups were at least somewhat satisfied, and even the "somewhat/very" divide between the groups responses were similar within 1 percent.
Boomers—respondents aged 50-to-64 with full-time employment—had only a 54 percent satisfaction rate with their own financial situation. Boomers were also the most worried about their ability to achieve their financial goals, with worry making up 60 percent of responses.
Boomers had the highest score, at 70 out of 100, on the AARP Anxiety Index. The five greatest fears, from highest reportage to lowest, were:
- prices rising faster than income
- not having financial security in retirement
- having to pay too much in taxes
- not being able to retire when (they) want for financial reasons
- having health expenses (they) cannot afford
Seventy-five percent of Boomers reported worry on price inflation, and 62 percent did the same in regards to having health expenses they could not afford.
More than two-thirds, 72 percent, of Boomer survey takers believed they would probably have to delay their retirement.
Only 32 percent of respondents were worried about not being able to find a full-time job with benefits, a statistic that represents a silver lining of resiliency or incredible hubris on the part of the survey-takers.
Boomers also did not believe their retirement would be secure. Only 34 percent of Boomers reported confidence that they would be financially able to live comfortably in retirement. Which may have something to with the fact that only 39 percent of Boomers believe they have saved/are saving enough for retirement, compared to 57 percent of retirees.
As a result, 59 percent of Boomers agree they are planning to rely even more than they had initially planned on Social Security and Medicare programs.

Which Actor Ruined a Co-Star's Relationship?
This actor guest starred on a hit show some years back, he ruined this actress' relationship. This actor is a stoner, this famous couple are coke heads, this new mother is already smoking again, and this sober actor gives his money to help other people fight addiction. Well, that sure is a change of pace.
1. "Back not so very long ago this then A+ list television actor guest starred on the number one show at that time which was on the air for many years. The actor was and is married at the time. His role was as the boyfriend of one of the characters. Well, while filming his arc he quickly ended up hooking up with this other actress on the show who is an A list movie actress now. That relationship did not break up our actor's marriage but it broke up her long term relationship." [CDaN]
2. "This film star has publicly battled depression and drugs, but he still shuffles into his favorite Venice Beach, Calif., eatery stoned out of his mind. The actor – he's currently in an Oscar-nominated film – repeatedly slurs "I'm a vegan" during his smashed lunchtime outings! Who is he?" [National Enquirer]
3. "Which superstar couple has resorted to using cocaine to stay thin? The gorgeous wife and handsome hubby don't live anywhere near Hollywood, but their partying lifestyle is the talk of their southern town!" [National Enquirer]
4. "Which gorgeous actress—she just had her second child—is hiding a nasty nicotine habit? The married former child star was at the Golden Globes after-parties using her girlfriend as a shield to block her from the cameras as she puffed away on a cigarette!" [National Enquirer]
5. "Since this A/B list actor (huge star in the '90s) has embraced his sobriety, he is dedicated to helping others like him who struggle. He gives large chunks of his time and money to addiction recovery programs, and does it all anonymously. While he's not working in the film industry as much as he used to, he is definitely active online where he helps run a popular support group, under a pseudonym." [BuzzFoto]
6. "What reality competition star has been cheating on his wife but always makes it a point to say how much he loves her in interviews and on the air? The Grammy-winning musician has been caught by his wife so many times he finally promised her he would NEVER stray again. But he's still at it, and he's more worried about a big divorce settlement than her feelings!" [National Enquirer]
7. "New faux couple alert! She's a beautiful up and coming actress. He's already starred in several movies and is a teen favorite. She has a big film opening very soon, but needs a higher profile so she can score top billing in a film. He has several films opening this year – and another half dozen in development – but could use a beard. They make a very attractive fake couple, they share an agent, and their faux union has the blessing of their respective PR teams, so… bring on the fake dates, the red carpets, and the paparazzi!" [Blind Gossip]
8. "Which nine-time Grammy winner is seriously considering getting hair-plug extensions? The 30-something crooner has been singing the blues about his receding curls, so he's meeting with the top hair transplant specialist in New York!" [National Enquirer]
9. "This supposedly happy couple featuring a Twilight actress is only happy on one side of the equation. The actress in question has been sexting one of her ex boyfriends and making plans to see him." [CDaN]

"WBEN Extra: The Minimum Wage"
Is Not Available At This Time.
WBEN Extra: The Minimum Wage
Please enter your comments below.
Simple rule of thumb
If Republicans oppose something, that means it's good for America. If they're for it, it's destructive. Presumably you've been awake the past twenty years. Support the American middle class and reject the GOP.
Minimum wage laws price workers w/low or no skills out of the market place. It hurts the very people it is claimed to help. Unions like a forced increase in the minimum wage because they can then lobby for higher wages for their members and blame it onthe increase in the minimum wage. NYS government and the federal government have no business getting involved with arrangements made peacefully and voluntarily between employer and employee. It is none of their concern.
Hurts workers
A legal minumum wage hurts the very workers it claims to help. Unskilled an low skilled workers may not have skills worth 7.25/hr let alone $9/hr so they don't get hired. If they could come in at a lower wage an improve their skills they would then make more money. Besides that, it is none of the governer's or the president's business what arrangements are made between employer and employee. Absolutely none of their business. Unions only care about this because they can use it to lobby for higher wages for their members.
Hurts workers
Raising the minumum wage only hurts the workers it claims to help. It prices low and unskilled workers out of the market. If their skills aren't worth $7.25/hour etc. then they won't get hired. If, on the other hand they can work for less than $7.25/hour an develop their skills they win. Otherwise they remain unemployed. This is no one's business except the employer and the employee. The President and Governor should stay out of this.
minimum wage
Minimum wage was not made to be a living wage if your working a full time job and they are paying you minimun time to find new job Dems are idiots
The other alternative
It's not meant to be a living wage - fair enough. A legal minimum wage somewhat hinders small business whilst simultaneously preventing corporate giants from grinding the average person into the ground before they get a chance to even try to get higher and do better. It assists in providing people with enough income to sustain themselves so that they have a minimum or complete lack of government assistance. Ideally, it would make it so someone like myself doesn't have to work 60hrs a week at above minimum wage and still barely be able to afford to live a rather quaint life, and perhaps free an extra 20hrs a week to go back to college and get further removed from the minimum wage trudge and toil. How about another nice idea? Since a small portion of the people control a large portion of the money, those small portion of people pay what they can afford - which is very, very substantially more than the rest of us can - and stop complaining and just stay home from Bermuda those two weeks out of the year? No, I'm not talking about the small business owner who typically does care a bit for his/her employees. Why don't everyone just stop jacking each other off and face the very obvious facts - everything "consumer" related, including jobs, is based on good 'ole supply and demand. Here's the kicker, the American workers have a supply too - the capacity to do the work. We know we aren't paid fairly and we know it's not typically a smaller business' fault. The end result of an actual "class war" is no lie. Read a few history books. You push people down far enough and long enough, and they'll spring back up, grab you by the nethers, and tear everything you believed the world was into shreds. And that's the lesson we learn from history - folks. Moral of the story? A very simple one - and a good code to live by. DBAD, or, Don't Be A D***.

|In response to Re: Last joint leaking in water supply
Having the shower uncapped would not help with the problem, since the water would have to fill the pipe to that level which is well above the joint you are working on. You must have the open pipe lower than the joint you are soldering.
: In a Terry Love message in 1998, he said "Remember, that there must be an open faucet when soldering. If not, the last joint soldered will leak." I'm having that problem with a hot water supply line going to a shower faucet mixer. All other stubouts are capped. I've tried to inset a T into the horizontal supply line several times and it keeps leaking. There doesn't appear to be water in the pipes when I get started and I've even put in a little bread to make sure. But after heating the fitting for a short time, I'll start getting drips out of the bottom of the T fitting.
: I've opened the mixer valve all the way to where hot water would come out of the showerhead if there was hot water. The tub spout is capped.
: I have not drained the cold water lines since those are leak-free. Does that matter -- could it be the water coming in from the cold side of the mixer when I get started? Any thoughts on how to get a leak-free connection with the T? I could uncap the hot water lavatory stubout (about 5' away) if steam build-up is a problem.

Frequently Asked Questions about Small Animal In Vivo Imaging
Q. What is DOL?
A. Degree of Labeling (DOL) describes the number of fluorophores per antibody. For in vivo labeling experiments, the DOL is restricted to a narrow range because it has significant consequences for the biodistribution and clearance of the probe. We have determined that the DOL range for the NIR Alexa Fluor® dyes is 1.5 to 3 molecules per antibody for optimal optical in vivo imaging.

At the last school board meeting, a group of Rainier Beach High School students, attended by one teacher, came to ask the board for a simple request: ORCA cards to help them travel to and from school.
The district responded by having a "listening meeting" with students in mid-December. Any news of solutions will have to wait until after the break.
At the school board meeting, one student describes how on his long walk to school, bus drivers will sometimes take pity on him and give him a lift, and sometimes they won't, and that makes the difference between being late or on time.
Another said that the lack of help for transportation costs pushed her and other students into stark decisions.
"Students are having to choose between having money for food and money for transportation. College is in my future and transportation is not making it easier to get there."

Tracking Steve Staios
Kent Wilson
March 19 2010 10:50AM
...Or "how I continue to worry and have yet to learn to love Steve Staios"
It's no secret that I was an outspoken critic of the Staios acquisition. I felt it was the needless addition of a bad contract to a team already low on cap flexibility going into next year. In addition, the theorized short-term benefits of adding Staios seemed paltry, especially in light of his age, declining abilities and the fact he boasts some of the worst results amongst all NHL defensemen this season.
Staios has appeared in 7 games since arriving. How has he done over that span?
Well, he's averaged over 18 minutes per game thus far. That's good!
He's been on the ice for more than half of the ES goals scored against the Flames (5 of 9). That's bad.
He is a cumulative -3. That's bad.
He has already taken 5 minor penalties. That's bad.
He is underwater in terms of scoring chance differential (-21) and corsi (-21). That's bad.
He has averaged 1:46/game on the PP. Because he's a man that has scored 2 goals in the last 127 games played, that's bad.
Some of the poor results aren't necessarily Steve's fault. He's been deployed in the Flames top 4 rotation with Jay Bouwmeester in tough circumstances thus far. Given his abilities and struggles as a third pairing guy in EDM this year, I can safely say that the current assignment is above Staios' head. So, I'll grudgingly cut him some slack in that regard.
The team as a whole has a winning record since Staios arrived (that's good!), but they haven't been able to claw their way back into the playoff picture (again, bad). What's more, the outshooting/possession stats have begun to falter back down to pre-mini-rebuild levels and, despite the nominally positive record, there's been no real change in the team's on-ice play or demeanor since the addition. There's been good games and bad games, but all well within the established character of the club to date. For example, Jarome Iginla has gone back into hybernation recently, managing zero points, 12 shots on net a -4 rating over his last 4 games. I mention this, because the ostensible reason for acquiring Staios was his "high compete level, experience and character". Now, I assume that was meant to mean those qualities would somehow rub off on the other players in the dressing room and elevate their performance...but, to my eye at least, there's been no evidence of that yet.
Of course, another thus far unstated consequence of bringing Staios aboard is the resultant scratching of Adam Pardy. Now, Pardy is a third pairing defender in this league and his utility is probably limited. However, he remains a relatively young, potentially improving asset. One whose development in now stgnating so the team can give reps to an obviously declining player in Steve Staios. Nevermind that Pardy has been the superior player this season by a number of measures - let's assume they are equals at worst and Staios is marginally superior at best - the truth is Pardy could be a cheap, capable contributor to this team for a number of years down the road. Staios won't be.
That said, we're only 7 games into the 'Steady Steve' era. That's a tiny sample size and not enough to judge anyone's performance. I wouldn't bet my own money on Staios measurably improving going forward, but I'm willing to admit, for now, that we haven't quite seen enough of the guy to write him off completely.
At least getting Staios came with a free Frogurt.
Horcoff and Moreau are still available as well....
"That said, we're only 7 games into the 'Steady Steve' era. That's a tiny sample size and not enough to judge anyone's performance."
But we have the rest of his season with the Oilers to show that he sucks!
@Kent Wilson
Sure we will take Kotalik but we want the free yogurt back that we sent over with Staios.
March 19 2010, 12:44PM
Sure we will take Kotalik but we want the free yogurt back that we sent over with Staios.
Done and done. Any flavour you folks want, probiotic, you name it.
@Robert Cleave
Hell, I'd give them 2.7 million cups of yogurt if they took him back.
Not to be a pain, but seriously, Staios is such an easy target that these pieces are a bit like hoping for an accident to watch. It was a ridiculous move, in retrospect (and in foresight as you and many others noted). Now it just feels like piling on.
On the upside for Flames fans, this deal may have kept Stumbellini his job.
Its like Tambs went to Sutter and said "you should take Staios, it s what I would do", and then Sutter listened for some reason. It almost makes me feel bad for flames fans...
Steve Staios also contains potassium benzoate (That's bad).
Right on Kent, not even so much about Steady Steve, but on the stagnation of Adam Pardy. That's what burns me.
The Sutter era has not been a time of development of younger players, but of consistent reclamation projects. It's time Sutter finally bought himself that '65 Mustang instead.
Who have they developed over the last five years? Pardy? Moss? Giordano, despite the Keenan-Sutter double whammy of benching/sending to KHL? Or the half dozen guys traded away too quickly?
@Kent Wilson
Which is why we watch TSN.
You know Kent,
I do really enjoy your insight into the Flames and hockey more generally Your use of math is quite but but just once, JUST ONCE, I would like to read something positive.
Every time you write anything its about how Iginla sucks, Staios is terrible, Toskala is horrendous (they better not resign him). Realistically its not all doom and gloom. Obviously the Flames, a 9th place team, has some issues but they are far from terrible. Sutter made some bad moves (Staios being one) but honestly the Toskala one is proving very good, Stajan has the 2nd liner make up and if utilized properly will fluorish. Look at Ian White and what he has done since joining the Flames. Compare him to What phaneuf has done since joining Toronton: keep in mind he makes like 1/10 Phaneufs Salary.
I will be calling for Sutters dismissal at the end of the season like everyone else but its not all doom and gloom. He found a way to get rid of Vandermeers bad salary, Jokinens too! No one saw that coming.
Im just saying just one I want to read something complimentary. Something more than "Kipper isnt sucking as expected." You even found fault in the Bourque contract because of length even though it was a pretty good $ figure. If hes not a useful player in 4 years they will find a way to get rid of him if he is that bad; he still might get even better too though.
Toskala is a great example. His season stats are very poor yet he has been very good since joining the flames. Its a small sample size but I do like the idea of keeping him beyond this season at a reasonable rate (~1 mill). Your response was go with Leighton. Leighton sucks. Hes a #3 goalie on most teams (as he is on Philly).
Think Positive. Odds are against them to make playoffs but I truly still think they might...

^^^ Afro Thunda?
It was Afro Thunda
I am not perfect and I defy you to prove otherwise
Growing Old Gracefully is an Oxymoron ... Mostly Moron !

Expected Madara to have Mokuton but not Oonoki to deflect the meteor .. I see why his jutsu is suitable for the job, just not how he can pull a jutsu like that in his current state and survive to pull the jutsu again on another meteor and THEN declare to start fighting seriously .. I bet Kakashi would be sooo jealous of his chakra pool, poor Kakashi has even lower stamina then the old fart ..
found a different translation of the spoilers .. Kyuubi is indeed giving Naruto chakra out of survival needs. Seems like he doesnt like Madara at all .. but who knows, maybe Kyuubi will give in to Naruto eventualy ..

hmm, i will wait for the translated version, but my gut tells me that this is what kabuto has done to madara, after all they already had his dna stored away.
"the enemy of my enemy is my friend" the nine tails doesn't want to be madara bitch no more
Chapter 538 i think is part of the key to any change in the kyuubi. He can see that naruto's determination will not be swayed, even by his best efforts to do otherwise. And he got verbally knocked down a few pegs by his landlord as well in the process
come fight my brute here
Is it just me or does it kinda seems like the Kyuubi actually want to lose his hatred? (http://www.mangafox.com/manga/naruto/v57/c539/3.html)
But he is to prideful and shit like that to accept it

Once leader accelerates, green flag will start field and second-place car can beat leader to line
JOLIET, Ill. – NASCAR made a minor tweak to restart procedures in the Chase for the Sprint Cup opener, allowing the second-place driver to beat the leader to the line after the green.
The change was announced by race director David Hoods in the drivers meeting two hours before the scheduled start of the Geico 400 at Chicagoland Speedway.
The leader still will have control of the restart during a designated zone, and the green flag will wave when the leader accelerates. But now the second-place car will be allowed to take the lead before the field reaches the finish line.
That previously was a judgment call for NASCAR, and it's fed several controversies since double-file restarts were implemented four years ago. In June at Dover International Speedway, Jimmie Johnson was black-flagged after taking the lead from Juan Pablo Montoya before the finish line on a restart. Carl Edwards did the same last Saturday at Richmond International Raceway but wasn't penalized because leader Paul Menard was ruled to have spun his tires.
CONTROVERSY: To go or not to go? Drivers say restarts gray area
Vice president of competition Robin Pemberton said NASCAR wanted to remove itself from the equation.
"It will take out one area of subjectivity on our part," he said. "It's too competitive out there right now, and to be honest, it needs to be in the hands of the drivers on who decides these races. Not the (NASCAR scoring) tower when it comes down to one of those calls.
"Things are getting too close, and this year we've seen more wheelspin than ever, probably because of some chassis adjustments. It's just got to the point that it was too much (that) we had to make a call and evaluate the restarts too much from the tower. It needs to be back in the hands of the competitor for the most part."
The move should eliminate the gamesmanship in which leaders deliberately slowed their pace on a restart and allowed the second-place car to reach the line first – forcing NASCAR to make a ruling.
Pemberton, though, said drivers might find new ways to employ such chicanery.
KENSETH: Five-time winner enter Chase on top of world
"I don't think anything we do eliminates gamesmanship," he said. "It just shifts it to another area that we'll have to police or look at later. These are the best guys in the world, and when they see whatever there is they can do to gain positions, that's what they do. That's what they're paid to do and supposed to do. We have to do what we have to do."
Pemberton said NASCAR considered making other tweaks. Putting the restart in the hands of the flagman is an option, as is a "Delaware style" restart in which the leader starts ahead of double-file rows (a practice used in sprint cars).
"Right now this is where we'll land," Pemberton said. "We'll evaluate this and move forward at the end of the year."
The explanation of the restart change in the drivers meeting drew several questions from competitors, including Jeff Gordon, Ryan Newman, Matt Kenseth, Johnson and his crew chief Chad Knaus.

"Ok. so I think my title says it all. This pair of sandals is just so beautiful, I could stare at it all day long. I checked all reviews before I ordered it and I think the comment that won me over was that the sandals is real leather and that is EXACTLY what it is. Luckily for me, I had a $30 gift card so it did not cost me much to purchase. I got the brown multicolored in a size 8 and it fits perfectly well. I have no complaints whatsoever (well, I only paid $9 plus shipping :))) ) Oh! why is summer over already? I will definitely wear the life out of this pair when I visit Australia this Christmas. Hello second summer!!!"

Game Review: WCQ Gm6
Cam Davie
April 25 2011 10:33AM
Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Sedins were FAR better last night.
But. It. Just. Wasn't. Enough.
(Photo by Jeff Vinnick/NHLI via Getty Images)
Game Day Review: Western Conference Quarterfinal Game 6 - Canucks @ Blackhawks
The Vancouver Canucks have backed themselves into a massive corner. A 3-0 series lead and a spot in the driver's seat has now totally evaporated. It's now down to a game 7, winner-take-all match on Tuesday.
Do they have any momentum at all after losing their third straight game against their playoff nemesis? We'll find out Tuesday.
The Vancouver Canucks were the better team Sunday. All three of Chicago's goals in regulation were essentially gifts. The first goal was started by a great play by Dave Bolland (I hate this little puke of a rat) which forced the puck to squeeze out in front of the net in a very awkward spot... where Brian Bickell just happened to be waiting and popped the puck in the net. The second goal was a boneheaded gaffe by Cory Schneider, who passed the puck directly on the stick of
total piece of hatable crap talented winger Patrick Kane (of all people!) who fed it to superrat Bolland for an empty net goal. As for third goal, it was a very good move by Frolik, but if Schneider isn't somewhat dehydrated and cramped up on that play, there's a chance he saves it. It's clearly the best of the three goals, but there was still some gift behind it.
Which leads me to my next point - the officiating. I'm not one who regularly complains about reffing. Far from it. Excuses cannot be made for losing games because of poor officiating. And the Canucks had every chance to win this game, that much is true. That said, the officiating in this game was slanted HEAVILY to the Blackhawks. The penalty shot call was one example. The Bickell hit on Bieksa was terrible, and there was no call. If you're going to compare that to Torres' hit, remember that Torres DID get penalized on that hit on Seabrook. In yesterday's game, no call. Then there was the tomahawk chop from Bolland on Henrik Sedin, snapping his stick. No call. And then there was the icing debacle in OT. The Blackhawks iced the puck, meaning they couldn't change lines and they had already used their timeout. But the refs allowed the ice crew to clean the ice, allowing the Blackhawks to rest after the icing call. Nonsense. The refs could have waited until the next whistle, but they didn't. Those are probably the most obvious examples, but there were certainly more. Again, I am not saying that those are the reasons that the Canucks lost the game. The Canucks dominated the third period and OT and didn't put the game away.
The bottom line is that the Blackhawks got some INCREDIBLY lucky bounces, the Canucks got NO bounces (they hit two posts between 3rd period and OT), and the reffing was tilted to the home team. Take out the reffing because I won't use that as an excuse to a win or loss, but if the Canucks get ONE lucky bounce... OR one of the Blackhawks gift goals doesn't go in, and the Canucks win the game.
The Sedins were much better, despite some dubious stats. Bieksa was great. Burrows was fantastic. AV did make some great moves, especially putting Kesler and Burrows together.
I have only one suggestion for Alain Vigneault for game 7. GET RAFFI TORRES OUT OF THE LINEUP. The Canucks have been terrible in the playoffs with him on the roster. They're 1-3 and since he hit Seabrook, the Blackhawks have used that as a rallying point. Get him off the ice against the Blackhawks. PERIOD.
Other than getting Torres the hell out of the lineup, Canucks fans simply ask for more of the same at home in Game 7. I have lost all sense of knowing what could happen in the deciding game. There's no point. If they win, they win and move on. If they lose, they're out and will likely be regarded as the worst collapse in Noth American sports history. At this point, after being a Canucks fan for 30 years, I would really see it poetically happening either way.
Three Big Stats
Here are my top 3 stats from last night's game:
1. The Canucks threw 85 shots toward the net last night. 35 SOG, 31 blocked shots, 19 missed net. They had far more pressure on the Blackhawks net than vice-versa evidenced by the fact that the Blackhawks had only 54 shots towards the net.
2. -4 combined for Christian Ehrhoff and Henrik Sedin, who were both on the ice for three of the Blackhawks four goals. This could be chalked up to simple math because of the fact that Henrik and Christian played more last night than either had in the previous five games.
3. 4:17 - The amount of time the Canucks were shorthanded in the 2nd period. The Canucks were up 2-1 going into the middle frame, had a late goal in the first to snatch away the momentum. But a string of penalties zapped away a chance for the Canucks to build off that momentum and get a two-goal lead. Instead, the Blackhawks controlled the 2nd period and eventually tied the game.
Three Big Moments
Here are my top 3 moments from last night's game:
1. Ben Smith OT goal. Luongo makes a weird save to stop the initial shot, likely because it deflected. As a result, Luongo ends up flopped on his belly, and Smith slotted home the rebound to win the game.
2. Kevin Bieksa's 3-2 goal. A terrific play from the defense, one pass out of the zone to Raymond who bolts down the wing, while Bieksa follows up on the rebound by charging straight to the net.
3. Michael Frolik penalty shot. At first I thought that Hamhuis had played the puck, but you can see pretty clearly that Hamhuis dives, first knocking out Frolik's feet, then the puck. Frolik's move was nice, but it was made to look at the more dramatic with Schneider's huge leg cramp after stretching awkwardly to try to make the save.
April 25 2011, 11:24AM
Yeah, that rat Bolland wishes he was an upstanding citizen like Burrows and Kelser.
I am almost positive its a playoff OT rule that the first stoppage in play after 10 minutes pass in OT is a break to clear the ice. I remember it happening last year in the Hawks/Sharks playoff series as well.
Since there are no designated TV timeouts in OT, they have to schedule a time to clean the ice and for whatever reason they decided on the first stoppage after the halfway point in the period. Just sucks for the Canucks it happened after an icing call. It wasn't some arbitrary "lets help the Hawks out" call.
April 25 2011, 12:53PM
@Tony - they talked about this on the TEAM1040 this morning. I didn't know about this rule, but it seems asinine that they would allow the ice-cleaning to happen on an icing. Make the rule: Clean the ice at the first whistle after the midpoint of the period that ISN'T an icing call. I agree that it wasn't an arbitrary "let's help the Hawks" call, but it was perfectly in keeping with the slant of calls. All the refs had to say was "Wait one more whistle". Again, I'm not blaming refs for the Canucks losing. But the luck was WAY on the Blackhawks side, and the Canucks had NONE.
Take out the reffing because I won't use that as an excuse to a win or loss, but if the Canucks get ONE lucky bounce...
For someone that doesn't want to use reffing as an excuse, you are sure turning to reffing as an excuse a lot.
There have been questionable calls on both sides of this series, as there are in every series. If Vancouver is a true contender, they will be able to win despite the calls they take.
April 25 2011, 12:57PM
I have a feeling that if Van wins game 7, they will have a true chance at the cup. They will use this as the adversity they needed to overcome in order to take the next step.
April 25 2011, 01:01PM
That was such a penalty and the right call on the shot. Even the announcers called the penalty shot before the refs.
The Canucks can only look at themselves if this ends badly.
Im one of those old-school hockey types and believe that Karma has a big place in the game. And one Kevin Bieksa (who I think is a talented, functional and very effective player) is the one to point at first with the Bad Karma. I get the chirping and politicing about John Scott...But when Bieksa elects to challenge Stalberg (who by no means is a pugilist) and feeds him a few then he has PO'd the Karma gods.
Canucks are done in 7 .... and this is by far a bigger collapse than the Bruins/Flyers last year.
PS there was no way on God's little green earth Schneider stopped the Frolik penalty shot unless he had pads that were about a foot wider.
puck luck goes towards each side. look at games 2 and 3 and how many pucks beat luongo but rang off the posts.
and bickell's hit on beiska is different by only the fact that beiska played the puck then got hit in the head. torres got an interference penalty for the seabrook hit and you can't give bickell the same penalty because of that reason.
Wow, reading your writing is very much what I imagine reading the writing of a little puke of a rat would be like.
Have you gone back and counted how many posts the Blackhawks hit in games 2 and 3?
Did you really use the penalty shot call as your first example in that list of reffing calls against the Nucks, only to later in your post concede that the defencemen clearly tripped Frolik before making contact with the puck?
There is no comparison between the Torres hit and the Bickell hit for one simple reason: Bieksa was playing the puck. Therefor, it's not interference. Have you simply chosen to be incapable of objectivity, or is it unintentional?
Left his feet? I just went to the trouble to re-watch the video, and my above question about your inability to not be
a little puke of a rat objective stands.
You haven't seen Bolland do anything to suggest he is shutting down the Sedins? Wow, you really are a little puke of a rat. Did you not hear that in games 4 and 5, Corey Crawford (that's the goalie that just shut your team down) had more points than the Twinkie's COMBINED! And that including game 6, the COMBINED twinkie point total is only one more than Corey Crawford. Oh yeah, you're right, there is definitely an absence of a telling stat to suggest that Bolland is shutting down a line that includes two of the leagues top four scorers. Thanks for that insightful tidbit....you little puke of a rat.
P.S. You mention that AV did some great moves, but conveniently leave out the best one of all, namely benching Bobby Lou. If you actually think that Bolland "truly" is a rat because of his stupid face, I cannot imagine what you think of that grease ball extraordinaire, Luongo. By the way, methinks the Blackhawks chances of completing the *cough* greatest upset in North American sports history *cough* go way up if the most overrated athlete in North American sports history is placed between the pipes.
This has been fun.
Thank you for your consideration.
after reading this i agree with you! Booloungo has always been overrated.
@Oiler Fan who is part of some team
Thanks for the question. At first, I thought Mr. Davie was simply engaging in good natured loyal fan playfulness when he called Bolland a "little puke of a rat" in his post. I get that. One of the main reasons that I think of Luongo as greasy is because he plays for a team that is not only a main rival of my team, but dominated my team (the Flames) this year. So, Mr. Davie, having been dominated for the last three games (well, minus the third period and overtime of the last game) was simply venting...I though.
Then, in his first reply on the comment boards, he let us know that Bolland "truly is a rat" and that he has a "stupid face".
Well, I live by a fairly simple principle. If you're willing to dole it out, you better be able to receive it back. There is a second somewhat subsidiary principle: it takes one to know one. From the latter, I concluded, obviously, that Mr. Davie must also be a little puke of a rat if he was "truly" so confident that Bolland was a little puke of a rat.
If you arent complaining about the reffing than why does it keep getting brought up.
kesler and burrows are the biggest chirping, running away, turtling pansies in the league.
These players are Rats
Kesler has come a long way though.
April 26 2011, 01:44AM
Thanks for your many replies.
1. I NEVER said that Bickell's hit on Bieksa was interference. I said it was charging. And yes, he did leave his feet.
2. Yes, I am playfully poking fun at Bolland. He's a Canuck killer right now.
3. Bolland's play is not what is killing the Sedins. Bolland is not shutting the Sedins down. The Sedins are shutting down the Sedins. They have had 2 good games in this series. They have had 4 bad games.
4. Bolland has been the best player in this series.
5. Yes, I admit I am complaining about the reffing. But as I have stated several times here, I am not using it as an excuse for their losses. I am simply venting.
6. Thank you for calling me a little puke of a rat. That really helps me improve my playful writing.
...uuummmm... seriously.
It's a fan site. Have you ever seen Wanye blog on Oilers Nation? Woooooo That can be one "playful" dude.
I'd be saying and writing the same things if I were a Van Fan. (for the record, I like the team, and love the city, but having a cup is one of the few things E-town has over Van)
In the end, this is a team showing their heart.
Or lack there of.
@Cam Davie
if you can blindside someone behind the net and not get a penalty for it, you can charge someone behind the net and not get a penalty for it. it was barely a charge therefore in OT it will be a non-call regardless. so you really can't compare the torres' hit to bickell's.
also calling bolland a dirty rat in the same contexted of your article does make you sound very bitter because you don't "playfully" write anything else in the article.
I was embarassed for Gillis yesterday. Talk about a lack of leadership. Make more excuses. With a
leader GM like that, it's not surprising the rails are coming off.
@Cam Davie
yeah, i totally haven't read any of your articles before this one.

Neutra Kronish Residence
Published byon
Bowing to community pressure, the owners of Richard Neutra's Kronish House in Beverly Hills have agreed to postpone its demolition until at least Oct. 10 to give preservationists a chance to devise a plan to save the residence...and the City seeks to draft a preservation ordinance.
Designed in 1955, the Kronish Residence was one of the largest Neutra residential projects. Built for tract developer Herbert Kronish and his new English bride, the design included unusual requirements such as mirrors on the ceiling of Mrs. K's dressing room. Rare Carrara Glass lines the walls of the master bath, and there are many other unique features.

Oldie but goodie
By relling on Oct 24, 2008
This week, several colleagues and I were discussing problems posing people who run datacenters due to the increasingly high churn rates in hardware. Some customers prefer systems which don't change every other month, so they can plan for longevity. Other customers want the latest and greatest bling. Vendors are stuck in the middle and have their own issues with stocking, manufacturing, plant obsolescence, etc. So, how can you design your datacenter architecture to cope with these conflicting trends? Well, back in 1999 I wrote a paper for the SuperG conference which discusses this trend, to some degree. It is called A Model for Datacenter.com. It is now nearly 10 years old, but seems to be holding its own, even though much has changed in the past decade. I'm posting it here, because I never throw things away and the SuperG proceedings are not generally available.

- About the brand
The Maxius AdjustaCurl is like no other roller you have seen or used before. AdjustaCurl makes any size roller you want quickly and easily. No matter what length of hair you have, you can create classic curls, add waves or eliminate them, even pump up volume and lift. And since AdjustaCurl rollers store flat, you can take them anywhere. With new ionic technology to reduce static electricity, they are quite possibly the last set of rollers you will ever need.
To shape, bend the roller about 1/4" from the ends. Next bend the end of each tab as close to the tip as possible to create a crease (first time only). Roll to any size you desire from 1 1/2" for curls or 4" for softer waves. For even larger rollers, join two flat rollers together, then roll to desired size.
Maxius is the brainchild of celeb stylist Masood Max; he learned the tricks of the trade hanging around his mom's beauty school before becoming a stylist himself. Maxius was created when Max discovered that the styling products he used weren't designed for daily salon use. Best known for the Maxiglide collection, Maxius styling tools and products can be used all day, every day with phenomenal results. Masood Max has used Maxius products to style celebs including Heather Locklear, Debra Messing, Regis Philbin and Jon Bon Jovi.
Great For Lifting RootsNo more flat head syndrome! (which also somehow keeps roots fresher, for longer, and less oily buildup. Easy to pack for travel.
