"When I received these boots (mail order) one look at them and I was so surprised. They look so cheap in person. I was not impressed at all. Nonetheless, I tried them on and wore them around my home. Could only wear for a short while because the boots were very uncomfortable and stiff. Maybe with time they would have stretched out, but I disliked them so much that I saw no point in hanging on to them to see of they'd stretch a bit. I returned these boots. I just couldn't see holding onto them. They are hard, stiff, cheap looking and uncomfortable."

An ugly disaster!
"I really wanted to love this bootie, I really did. I ordered it online size 8 in the grey. I wanted to wear it with thick socks for a cute winter bootie. This thing is huge! Even with thick socks my foot swam in it. I felt like I was wearing a full size larger then I ordered (at least)! The online picture is so much better then the in person look. This boot looks and feels cheap. The hard sole echoes through the room when I try to walk. The main body of the bootie feels stiff and thin. The coloration is blotchy around the sole. In short, this boot is ugly, uncomfortable and cheap. I will be returning it for a refund. I'd give this boot 1/2 a star if I could."

Love them!
"I love these boots, I bought them in grey. I am a size 5 in shoes but buy 5.5 in boots so I can wear cozy socks. They are great I wish I could order them in brown but I waited too long and now they dont have them in my size."

100+ pages? Surely another tribute to their previous work, Death Note.
Hiramaru x Aoki. <3
yessss, xD Hiramaru rlly deserves it imo.
& why am I not surprised that he lost the ring? lol
Hopefully it'll go well :p
If I lost a $50 million yen ring, I would have to start taking horse tranquilizers to calm down. That's more than $600,000!
WTF? If that's two month's salary, mangakas are loaded. lol.
How well do you think Mashiro and Takagi are doing? No anime yet, but both series seem to be doing well and selling volumes (not yet Reversi, I suppose).
Great chapter. As usual, Hirimaru's shtick is at its best when its not being completely one note... and when its a change of pace from the main storyline.
Guess its officially time to put down the Fukuda/Aoki flag (of course, it was a while ago, but...i still hope somehow Aoki can be wit fukuda)
And really, I know this gets said every week, but the series is absolutely reaching its ending point, there's just no doubting it. Especially with two arcs about the leads in a row (first with Eiji, now the main two) about being able to end a series when its time rather than draw it out past the proper ending... I'll miss it when its done, but it'll be nice to have a series that wraps in under 5 years and 20 volumes for a change.
Tho I wouldn't complain about a spinoff of some sort.

Nikolai Kulemin's Shot & Goal Locations
JP Nikota
August 21 2011 03:20PM
"Oh God they're coming for me!"
I believe that shot location is critical in assessing a players' shooting percentages, and probably has some bearing on the sustainability of a player's goal totals. If, for example, a player collects a pile of goals shooting from the tops of the offensive zone faceoff circles, I would expect that teams would begin to notice the pattern, make adjustments, give their goalies time to see the shots, and for our hypothetical sniper to score fewer goals in the future. On the other hand, if a player is fast and/or skilled enough to drag the puck close the net before shooting, but doesn't wind up with many goals, I'd expect bounces to start going their way more often before too long.
Nikolai Kulemin's 17.3% shooting percentage in 2010-11 has been the cause of much debate. Just how lucky was he to score 30 goals? In 2008-09, he had a shooting percentage of 11.6% and in 2009-10 he shot 11%, for a career average of 13.6, so most of us are inclined to expect a regression. Were his shot and/or goal locations so different last season? I've got all his away game data at even-strength from three seasons published over the jump, so read on for more.
What I find encouraging in these three graphs is the obvious shift deeper into the zone that Kulemin's shot locations have made. In his first season, many (that is, not quite half) of his shots came from between the blue line and the tops of the faceoff circles, but that ratio changed for the better in his second year, and even more noticeably so in his third. Moreover, his outside shots form two, neat 45-degree angles to the goal line, which suggest he's shooting off the rush while driving to the net. It's tough to say exactly what spurred this shift (because I don't want to start arbitrarily assigning narratives to this data), but it was probably some combination of added strength, conditioning, coaching, and quality of linemates and competition. I believe that these factors are largely sustainable, and that Kulemin's shots in this coming season will look very similar, which is good news to Leafs fans.
In terms of his goal production, Kulemin really only scored from very close to the net in his first two seasons. Really, he didn't have any long-bomb or bad-angle shots going in at all. While he wasn't horribly unlucky, it's not surprising to me that as his shot totals increased and his locations generally got closer in, he potted a few lucky goals.
In 2010-11, he has three goals that stand out as less-than-ideal shooting locations: there is one goal in the centre of the very-high slot, one from inside the circle (and this one isn't terrible), but behind the faceoff dot, and one from behind the net. If we remove those three goals (where, statistically, he was lucky to have scored from), and take consider them saved shots, his shooting percentage drops to a more realistic 15.6%. Given that these are only even-strength goals on the road, it's reasonable to assume that there are more bad-angle shots that went in on home ice, and that begins to account for some part of his elevated shooting percentage. It's not that he won't get any lucky breaks next year, but I don't know how much more his shot locations can improve to compensate if there is a lack of puck luck next season.
Long story short, I think that Kulemin's game has improved substantially so as to afford him better chances on net, and that this is a sustainable aspect of his game. Goals that come from outside a ten-foot radius outside of the crease and the low slot? Not so sustainable. If I had to hazard a guess, I think we're looking at a player whose shooting percentage will dip to the 13-15% range, and, without a large (and unprecedented) increase in his shot totals, we're looking at a 22-25 goal-scorer.
August 21 2011, 04:36PM
Nice work once again JP. I like trying to figure out which dots represent which goals. The one from this season that's behind the net was in Colorado, with about 5 seconds left in the period.
August 21 2011, 05:09PM
Very interesting. Did Kulemin play more often on the PP last year? I find that can up a player SH% (for obvious reasons).

Very interesting. Did Kulemin play more often on the PP last year? I find that can up a player SH% (for obvious reasons).
I think his PP time this year will largely depend on Connolly and Liles' ability to mesh on the first unit. If they struggle then Wilson will lean more heavily on the MGK line. Otherwise, I would think they'll get a lot of the second half of powerplays.
the one behind the net a year before was when he scored on ny rangers on a wraparound goal. kuli is a beauty
What do you use to make the graphs?
August 23 2011, 02:16AM
Very interesting. Did Kulemin play more often on the PP last year? I find that can up a player SH% (for obvious reasons).
He played limited PP minutes, and his goal production on the PP wasn't great for an above average forward. Most of his production was at ES... that is a large part of what leads me to the conclusion that this exercise is repeatable.

There's so much technology can do to make store shopping more fun. How long before retailers catch on?
In my world, this is shopping perfected: I'm walking down the street and Ding, a coupon pops up on my iPhone for 75% off a super-cute, green A-line dress at Bloomingdale's. (Gentlemen, feel free to picture a blowout sale on flat-screen TVs, power tools, or whatever it is you get excited about.)
Of course, Bloomingdale's is my most favorite store and just so happens to be right around the corner. "Cool," I say to myself. "I don't necessarily need a new dress (or monster TV), but, heck, I should really check this out."
So I tap the coupon on my iPhone, am promptly shown a map reminding me where the store is located and I walk in. The retailer's app then directs me to the exact shelf where the dress is situated—in the back, around to the left. Ah! I love it, simply must have it, but, of course, they don't have my size. So a sales clerk walks up, "May I help you?" she asks. I tell her I'm crushed that they don't have my size.
"Hang on," the woman says, and pulls out her mobile device. "We have your size in our store on State Street, two more at the store on Halsted and one more in our distribution center. Would you like to walk the mile to State Street and pick it up, or shall we ship it to you at home for no charge?"
I opt for home shipping, so the sales clerk scans the coupon on my smartphone with her mobile device, touches my phone again with hers to grab my e-wallet info, and my purchase is complete. She e-mails me my receipt and I am in and out in about three minutes.
Kevin Conway over at web hosting provider Savvis, who presented me with a version of this scenario last week, thinks it will be about five years before a healthy chunk of retailers will be able to let consumers shop this way. From locking in to their most loyal customers' locations, to aligning inventories across all channels, to e-wallets, to training sales clerks on mobile devices—it's a serious undertaking for any retailer, no matter how large they might be.
But I can tell you, retailers out there, if I can shop your stores this way, I'll be spending a heck of a lot more money with you. I'll carve out more money in the budget each month for you, in fact, and I'll tell everybody I know how fabulous you are because you'll be making the process of spending money fun, adventurous and too alluring to pass up. You'll be tricking me into believing that it was me who found 70% off of a to-die-for green dress because I was a tech-savvy, bargain-hunting dynamo. But really, all the while, it was you, luring me in with your push notifications and cross-channel fulfillment capabilities and well-trained staffers.
Savvis tells me they are gearing up for this type of world. Are you?

Mixed emotions
"I ordered this shoe to replace a pair of Michael Antonio stilettos that are worn out. I normally wear a nine in Audrey Brooke, but they only had size 10 left. The 10s fit okay with a sole insert to keep my foot from sliding forward too far, and are okay to walk in once you get the bottom scuffed. But, they are less elegant in person than they look online. The piping is actually gold, not silver - though that is not terribly obvious. It's probably because these shoes are just too big for me, but they just don't cinch down enough to fit securely on my foot. I'm keeping them because my boyfriend fell in love with them, but I won't be wearing them when I do a lot of walking. They just flop around too much. I think my review would be better if DSW had the right size."

Cute shoe, needs some design tweaks
"Extremely cute shoe, and I got a lot of compliments wearing it, but the sole is extremely slippery and forces your foot to slide down the entire night. If they were reworked to be less slippery they would be perfect shoes, but I just put an insert in my shoes and they worked great!"

LOS ANGELES — Los Angeles police say Justin Bieber struck a pedestrian with his car in Hollywood, but there was no crime and the injuries aren't life-threatening.
Lt. Craig Valenzuela says Bieber's car collided with someone — possibly a photographer — at 11:45 p.m. Monday in the 8800 block of Sunset Boulevard.
Valenzuela says nobody was cited or arrested and officers determined no crime was committed. He says investigators are trying to determine whether the pedestrian was in the roadway.
A video posted by TMZ.com shows Bieber getting into a white Ferrari. He is surrounded by paparazzi and as the car drives off, one falls to the ground and grips his knee.
A request for comment from Bieber's publicist, Melissa Victor, was not immediately returned.

Comment of the Week Winner #2 and #3
Kent Wilson
November 15 2010 10:01AM
Phew. The last couple of weeks have been tough on Flames fans and the resulting discussions and veritable essays in the comment sections made it even tougher to pick COTW winners.
Winner #2 is PrarieStew for this contribution after the loss in Detroit:
...Stanley Cup winners usually have 5 guys that make up the identity of a team and it usually consists of a goalie, one or two defenseman, a dominant centre and a clutch goal scorer. More often than not all of those guys are under 30. Definitely all of them need to be in the top 10 at their position in order to win a cup.
The problem that we have is that the key group has not evolved as it should. Expectation that Iginla can be dominant force and Langkow a top 10 two way centre past their 33rd birthday is not realistic. There is no one to pass the torch to. Bourque will never be Iggy, Bouwmeester has been a disappointment, Stajan might have a decent career but he is not the same as Langkow. So while this group was very close ( although they lost in the first round 4 years in a row, they were contenders annually), the depressing thing is that it can be argued that those coming behind : Bourque, Gio, Bouw, Stajan aren't as good as the not quite ready for retirement group; and behind them is a veritable death valley of prospects.
Winner #3 is Tach for tying together the Brett Sutter situation with the managerial decisions of his father:
Distrurbing revelations for this evening:
Adrian Aucoin's cap hit is $2 million.
Steve Staios's cap hit is $2.7 million.
Darryl Sutter managed to find one player that makes me miss Adrian Aucoin.
And we gave up a player AND a draft pick to get him.
Maybe this was mentioned by the cabbie that Darryl's kid punched.
Once again, great stuff from everyone recently (even though we're all kind of on edge at this point). Thanks to all the contributors that continue to make this contest so difficult to judge (and therefore worthwhile).
PS - Tach, please email me for prize info.
Congrats guys.
I agree with both of those comments.
Hard to find comedy coming out of this stretch, but as long as Staios is around I suppose we can keep flogging that horse.
Cheers guys! Kudos to all the writers here for providing this terrific forum and all the commenters for keeping it lively.
November 15 2010, 12:46PM
Nice work Gents. Good comments by all, keep them coming.
November 15 2010, 08:07PM
As far as the season goes so far, this forum is a bright spot that I enjoy checking almost daily. Thanks to all writers and pretty much all who comment.
November 15 2010, 11:39PM
Agreed, I get quite a chuckle out of some of the writers and all the people who comment
And I remember laughing when I read Tach's comment the first time, and thinking to myself ' Oh man, How true is that Statement'

Suggestion for tribute or memorial?
An interesting idea for a memorial to those killed in the Christmas Eve nightmare in Webster just popped into my email inbox.
It's from Steve Derezinski, a retired Kodak plastics engineer who currently works as a consultant.
"Let's rename Irondequoit Bay Outlet the Chiapperini-Kaczowka outlet.
Erect a plaque to that effect at the bridge, " wrote Derezinski.
Of course, he is referring to Mike Chiapperini and Tomasz Kaczowka, the two volunteer firefighters who were killed in an Ambush along Lake Road.
Derezinski 's idea is one certainly worth considering, along with others that are starting to circulate around the region. If you have a suggestion for a tribute or memorial, post it here:

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
So I haven't actually played the game since release, however I tried to order the game from FunCom through PayPal and so I sit there waiting it says processing, and Attention, and I wait 1-2 hours game the didn't process, so I just remove my information said screw this, and cancel my order, well actually wait there is no cancel order button, so I just deleted all payment methods and cancel with paypal.
So I go over to EA, and I buy the game from there and it goes through in about 10 Seconds I have my preorder kitty, and the game serial okay so now time to register on Funcom and play right?
Wrong, next I tried to register the code, and it only gives me the option to create a new account, and I played TSW Beta, no option to use the serial key on that account so instead I would have to have two TSW login names on the same master account.
So I submit a ticket because of the transaction not processing they ask me a question if I confirmed it with paypal,etc and I tried to reply, but when I reply to the email it tells me they don't accept emails so I have no way to respond to that ticket I have to submit another ticket, and in that other ticket I included a copy of the email responded a new ticket was created, and so finally now I got two tickets open, and am a totally confused kitty with a pancake on its head, and the GM just asks " Is there anything else I can help you with?" Even more confused.
" Thank you for contacting Funcom Customer Service. We have received your request ticket and have given it the ID of "[Funcom Support #****]". Please include this ID in all future correspondence regarding this ticket. If you have any additional information to add to your ticket, please reply to this email.
In most cases you will get a personal email response from one of our representatives within one business day."
Well after I tried to reply back to their email aka my ticket I got this.
"Thank you for contacting Funcom Customer Service.
We no longer accept requests for support directly via email.
To open a help ticket please go to http://help.funcom.com."
Okay so wait a minute, the original ticket says to reply to the email, and now it tells me to go to that website instead after I reply, I spend 2 hours just trying to play this frigging game this morning, and I can't play the game, and every time I submit a ticket it gets a new ticket ID no way to respond to my original ticket?
Okay so I submit a second ticket, and a GM Contacts me, is there anything else I can help you with today, and that is all they said?
So since I got a retail key instead, now I had to submit a 3rd ticket, so that they can apply those keys to my account because their website wont let me apply them to my account because I played beta most likely and asks me to make another account under the same master account?
Way to go horror story , would be nice if Funcom could actually provide a Better Ticket System!
try Live chat ?
https://register.thesecretworld.com/account (little LIVE CHAT Button)
Tried it and they told me they couldn't help to file the tickets sadly ); I wonder how long before I can plays TSW now ^^.
Frankly, noone has played it since release because it's launching July 3rd and the Early Access started for me about 30 mins ago.
Also, I preordered back in April,and it was a "Pending" transaction until it processed June 24. That was just the way it went for me. I'm afraid you spazzed out for nothing. Sorry, I don't know how to help you out otherwise.

But This kitty wanted to be first to login to the server );...
He is not the only one with this horror story, I had the same issue. Its stupid you cant cancel an order that failed.
I tried to order the game thru funcom but my credit card company blocked the transaction as coming from China. Tried live chat but they dont process thru China. So I tried paypal, nope same issue. Went to Origin and purchased the game. however cannot apply the code to my account even though the payment failed thru funcom the preorder is still there.
It wouldn't be that hard to let the customer cancel an order that failed, but I contacted live chat (again) and then had to submit a ticket. They replied back "We cannot delete your account". WHAT!?! I didnt say or want my account deleted. Back to live chat. The GM there got my ticket to the right place and it got fixed finally, however my room mates account which never got paypal attached to it had the same issue and still is not fixed 3 days later.
So no this is probably not that rare an issue, everyone else probably just got irritated and canceled their order completely.
p.s. dont get me started on the Origin nightmare.
This was the same issue they had when the first started offering pre-orders, it was fixed in a couple of days and I was able to register using my close beta account but it's not too surprising that it creeped back in. Hopefully it wll get resolved for you sooner rather then later.
Because flying a Minmatar ship is like going down a flight of stairs on an office chair while firing an Uzi.
Actually my experience with funcom has been similar to the op's which is why ive cancelled both mine and my gf's preorder. I paid for both using the same card and directly through the tsw website. Interestingly enough, when i cancelled my preorder they sent me an email confirming the cancellation with a notification that my funds would be returned. When my gf did the same thing on the account i bought her, they sent her a notification telling her that the transaction was still pending and that they havent charged the card, despite the fact that the funds were transfered from my account.
The whole reason we chose to cancel (despite having been previously excited enough about this to consider buying 2 lifetime subs) was when she tried to play the open beta, the game wouldnt let her in with with the account she created. When she tried to contact customer service, they also sent her the standard form email back asking her to fill out a satisfaction survey about how well they helped her despite not having helped her at all. She kept getting sent info back only relevant to Age of Conan which we have never played and had no accounts for. So yeah the terrible/non-existant customer service cost them at least $600 from myself alone. Shame too, i had enjoyed early closed beta. Admittedly i was less enthused with alot of the changes i saw implemented in the later beta's.

Many are playing with no issues. This is what you would cal atypical. Now get back to the GW2 forums.

I feel for your frustration but you are not the typical experience since your issue was complicated by purchasing twice and being impatient. I understand your desire to jump in the game as soon as possible, but these are busy times at Funcom. Good luck.
Impatient? How is it impatient to wait for an hour or two for an order to process with online billing? No, thats not impatient thats UNREASONABLE.
Nor did he anywhere say buying 2 copies was the issue. He cancled the first try through paypal, meaning he never got the initial copy. What he said was he couldnt apply the code to his beta account.
Being busy at funcom has NOTHING to do with his issue either. It wants you to reply to the ticket through email but when he does they say they are no longer accepting emails and he has to make another ticket? Thats a seriously screwed up and unreasonable way of doing things. A Gm contancts him Via email saying "how can I help you" but you cant reply? Completely stupid.
So Huskie77, did you even bother to read his post? Or was this just a stupid response that has nothing to do with the post because someone said something bad about Funcom? Because not ONE thing you said in your post had ANYTHING to do with what issues he is having are.

It's not because you are among the lucky ones that problems don't happen. And as I said, exactly the same kind of problems happened at Age of Conan release. It appears to me that Funcom didn't learn the lesson...
About your little advice - I'm playing TSW right now (and for free =P) - I'm actually logged in the game as we speak - so I think I have the right to post on the game's forum too. Trust me, the minute I no longer play, I will also leave this forum. So may I return you a similar advice? "mind your own business and let people decide where they post as long as they respect the forum rules"
If you wonder why I don't answer your posts, it's most likely because you are on my block list - so don't waste your time.

It's typical for Funcom if you "played" AoC from launch, their customer support is frustratingly bad, always has been.
Expresso gave me a Hearthstone beta key.....I'm so happy
Dealing with Funcom can be a massive excercise in patience. After closed beta testing TSW I decided ti sidestep it, but I was there for AO and AoC launches and... I'm minus quite a few hairs becuase of them
Ordered my from amazon today. Code came within minutes. Cheap, easy, and already playing .......

Another option is to hold the stretch for 10-15 seconds, push your left foot into your hand (like trying to straighten your leg), hold for 5-7 seconds, then relax and pull your heel closer to your tailbone, repeat for 3-5 repetitions and alternate sides.
Be sure to keep the spine in a straight line and maintain the abdominal bracing to keep the pelvis stable.

Tools of communication have transformed American society time and again over the past two centuries. The Museum has preserved many instruments of these changes, from printing presses to personal digital assistants.
The collections include hundreds of artifacts from the printing trade and related fields, including papermaking equipment, wood and metal type collections, bookbinding tools, and typesetting machines. Benjamin Franklin is said to have used one of the printing presses in the collection in 1726.
More than 7,000 objects chart the evolution of electronic communications, including the original telegraph of Samuel Morse and Alexander Graham Bell's early telephones. Radios, televisions, tape recorders, and the tools of the computer age are part of the collections, along with wireless phones and a satellite tracking system.

His specific duties are unknown, but in 1911, after his government service, he was appointed to a New York civilian post. His new duty was to insure the efficient operation of the freshly pioneered wireless apparatus on all Atlantic based Naval ships. In 1915, Terrell was transferred to Washington, D.C. where he supervised a staff of thirty-five. As Chief of Radio Division in the Commerce Department, Terrell was responsible for monitoring the [the use of?] radio nation's defense forces. Terrell was promoted to Chief of Field Operations for the Federal Radio Commission (FRC), which was created in 1934. Terrell continued in that post even when the FRC was changed to Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Terrell retired to Florida in 1943 at the age of 72. He died on March 23, 1965.

Calico Kitty Quilt
100% Cotton Calico Kitty Quilt Makes Your Bedroom the Cat's Pajamas
Rated 4.8 out of 5Â by 4 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5Â by THE Mom Kat The Kat Haus finishing touch The quilt and pillow shams are beautiful; one little seam on one sham needed a small repair, but a stitch in time saves nine! These 2 kitties were homeless babies and after they passed the initial physical by the vet, they moved in and decided we could stay as well. They slept on the VCS catalogue where I had opened it to order the quilt & shams, so I suppose they were telling me how much they liked it. Thank you for your fine customer relations and products. June 11, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5Â by Bizi Cheerful and bright This is a very charming and whimsical quilt. It has really brightened up our room, which is what I was hoping for. Success! The quality is impressive, too. Perhaps someone should make one for dog lovers, too? February 11, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Gabby Absolutely Love the Quilt! This quilt was in The Vermont Country Store catalog last year and I debated with myself too long. By the time I decided to call and order, it was sold out. I checked each future catalog and went online frequently to see if the quilt had returned - all to no avail. I was just thrilled when I received the latest catalog with the Kitty Quilt. I ordered it immediately via the website. Thank you so much Vermont Country Store - you are the greatest!! September 12, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by a fan Calico Cat Quilt is first-rate! I had spotted this Calico Cat Quilt long ago, but it was out-of-stock. So glad it returned as it is as charming as it looks in the picture. Well made and a pleasure to have in my home. August 12, 2013

No suspension for Neil: The Honeymoon is over
Danny Gray
September 28 2011 03:00PM
This pre-season the Maple Leafs have seen the best, and the worst of Brendan Shanahan's tending of the NHL's Wheel of Justice.
When Shanahan suspended Jody Shelley for 10 games after boarding the Leaf's Darryl Boyce many fans, not just Leafs fans, took notice. Things were going to be different with Shanahan in charge. He had promised more stringent punishments, and more transparency. He delieverd both with the Shelley suspension.
Lengthy suspensions to James Wisniewski and Jean-Francois Jacques further solidified the belief that the NHL was finally taking player safety seriously by holding players accountable for their actions on the ice. Today it seems as though the honeymoon is over.
LeBrun clarified in a second tweet that the incident he was referring to was the Chris Neil hit on Grabovski that took place last night. You can watch the video of the hit here.
It is clear that it is difficult to be certain of Neil's intentions. While the contact looks accidental you could also claim to see Neil pivot his feet and lean into Grabovski just before making contact. (Which I do) While I believe that the hit deserves supplimental discipline the real issue here is the lack of transparency. I would like to hear more than a tweet from Pierre LeBrun explaining why Shanahan felt further discipline was not necessary. Neil was definitely reckless at the very least. While I don't agree with the lack of a suspension I can understand that it would be difficult to prove Neil was targeting the head or meant to make contact. However I would like to hear Shanahan himself explain that over a video of the incident.
It's only one time but it seems as though the Wheel of Justice hasn't stopped spinning.
Conspiracy Theory Alert
Shanahan wanted to suspend Neil and make a video explaining that he knew what he was doing as he had done this whole "accidentaly on purpose" move before in his career, players do it all the time and Neil needs to be punished for it. However this hit is so similar to the hit on Crosby that you could play the Crosby hit with the Shanahan explaination but then the NHL would look pretty silly then wouldn't they. *Note this paragraph is sanctioned under the "Gotta Ask the Question Clause"
September 28 2011, 03:06PM
I'm not sure what motivated the Shanahan honeymoon in the first place. The explanation videos are nice, and should help promote some degree of consistency. That's an important material improvement over the Campbell days, especially in terms of creating a deterrent, but I don't see what's given people the idea that the actual suspension decisions are substantively better. The only guys who've been hit "hard" (and I'd dispute a lot of people's standards for what meets that definition) have had mile-long rap sheets, and he's explicitly said he considers injury, which has nothing to do with the illegality of a hit at all. He's definitely shown signs of being better than his predecessor, but I'm yet to see a sign of being good.

Chef's salad
By Patty Kruszewski, Citizen Managing Editor 06/02/05
Last month, as local veterans polished medals, buffed boots and starched uniforms in preparation for Memorial Day services, Paul Elbling left his Henrico home for a May 8 decoration ceremony.
Like recent holiday occasions in Sandston and at Fort Harrison National Cemetery, Elbling's event was long on red, white and blue and "The Star Spangled Banner" – even if lacking in small-town marching bands and Sousa music. But then, Elbling had hopped a trans-Atlantic flight to attend the ceremony – which took place in Blotzheim, France.
To Richmonders who know him as "Chef Paul," the owner and culinary artiste of La Petite France, it might come as a surprise to learn of Elbling's 18 months as a paratrooper and nurse in the French Algerian War. But as a 19-year-old in the French Army, Elbling rode ambulances around combat zones collecting the wounded, and made more than 100 jumps getting to the sites.
On his last jump in 1962, attempting to evacuate more injured, he was shot in the leg while still aloft. "Which is against the Geneva Convention," he says grimly, adding that he barely noticed the shock of his own wound.
"I was more concerned about my friend," he recalls, going on to describe the sight of a fellow paratrooper who had taken a much more serious hit. His friend did not survive.
After three weeks in the hospital, and additional time in therapy at a convalescent center, Elbling eventually returned to his culinary calling.
First medals were for cooking
Even though he was winning honors for his cooking by age 18 (a Gold Medal in culinary competition in Strasbourg), becoming a chef was actually Elbling's second-choice career. At age 12, he entered the seminary and studied for the priesthood two years before changing course and getting into the restaurant business. He jokes today that his decision was best for all concerned.
"When I went in the seminary," Elbling says with a laugh, "my older brother slapped my shoulder and said, 'Paul, if you become a priest one day, I will be the pope!' And I was afraid that my brother might be the pope!"
Beginning with an apprenticeship at a local restaurant as a young teen, Elbling embarked on a career that took him to, among others, the famous Carlton Hotel in Cannes, France, and the Georges V Hotel in Paris. As an apprentice, he worked 90-hour weeks with a dozen peers to help 57 cooks.
"[At one restaurant] we had a huge stove, the length of the dining room," he recalls, noting that the massive fixture connected to the water pipes supplying the hotel above. "We had to be down there every day at 5:30 a.m. to clean the stove – so the hotel residents would have hot water."
Two years after becoming a chef in the resort city of Baden-Baden, Germany, Elbling earned his European Master Chef Degree. That same year, driving near his home in the Alsace region of France, he met his wife-to-be, Marie Antoinette.
"On the road, she passed me going very fast. She made a fishtail!" he says, tracing the car's near spin-out with a gesture. Indignant, Elbling caught up with Marie at the next stoplight. "I got out of my car and gave her hell," he says.
Marie began crying. "It's my birthday," she told the stranger. "I'm going to my birthday party and I'm in a hurry. . . Would you like to come?"
After the couple married, they came to America in 1967, fulfilling a dream Elbling had had since he was five years old. He had never forgotten the Americans who liberated his family from a German labor farm in 1945. "They gave us Hershey bars and Spam," he says, describing the menu as if it were a sumptuous gourmet repast. "[Spam] was the first meat I'd ever had.
"Now when I go hunting or fishing, I always take a can of Spam," he adds. "It brings a good memory."
When the Elbling family returned home from the labor farm, they found their house bombed. Lt. Joe O'Neill of Chicago, who then drove the family to Paul's grandparents' house to live, kept in touch for years afterwards. He helped Elbling with the paperwork that allowed him to move to America, but passed away before the process was finalized.
"Otherwise," says Elbling, "I'd be in Chicago today."
Guinness world records
After three years in Washington, D.C., where he served as chef in the Restaurant Chez Francois and the Washington Hotel, the Elblings moved to metro Richmond. Since establishing La Petite France, Paul Elbling has compiled a lengthy resume of honors, including Richmond Small Businessman of the Year (1982), Restaurateur of the Year from the Virginia Restaurant Association (1985), Academy Award of the Restaurant Industry, and the Great American Chef's Award.
He has also been cited for excellence in Southern Living and Gourmet Magazine and earned several records in the Guinness Book of World Records, including one for the world's largest omelet (10,470 eggs), world's largest ice carving and longest sandwich.
All the Guinness stunts were charity benefits, and he continues to be a frequent contributor of auction items (the latest a dinner for 10, prepared at the buyer's home) for non-profits such as the Maymont Foundation and Heart Fund. For another favorite charity, Little Sisters of the Poor, Elbling has helped raise more than $1 million. He also thoroughly enjoys getting monthly letters from two youngsters in Appalachia "adopted" through Children, Inc.
Among his proudest accomplishments, however, was founding the Virginia Chefs Association apprenticeship program. His first apprentice remains at La Petite France with him 35 years later.
"He would never leave," Elbling jokes.
Another one of his most satisfying achievements was winning two gold medals for the United States in the 1980 International Culinary Olympiques.
"When we got the gold medal," he recalls, "my old chef from the George V – 83 years old – was there watching, and he had tears in his eyes."
Elbling was equally emotional as French officials awarded him four medals – what military types jokingly refer to as a "fruit salad" of colorful ribbons -- for his wartime medical service at the recent ceremony in Blotzheim.
"What was very impressive about this was my brother, a retired general, was the one pinning on the medal," he says. "And the kids [of Blotzheim] came with American flags, and they played the [American] anthem.
"I had tears in my eyes."
The medals, soon to be mounted on the wall of his home off River Road, recall for Elbling the cherished memory of a conversation in 1970, when he and Marie returned to France to be at the bedside of his dying mother.
"She was always very jovial," Elbling says of his mother. "First, she told my wife, 'Marie Antoinette, Paul is a good boy, but keep him on a leash!' [Marie] hasn't forgotten that!" he says with a laugh.
Then his mother turned to him and said, "I am so happy for you. Your dream has come true."
"We wouldn't go back [to France] for anything," Elbling concludes emphatically.
"We love it here."

Wilt, In Context
100 and 50.4, 50 Years Later
by Kevin Pelton
Fifty years ago today, Wilt Chamberlain set one of the most impressive records in sports by scoring 100 points in a Philadelphia Warriors win over the New York Knicks. In the half-century since then, only Kobe Bryant has come within 25 points of matching Chamberlain's round number. The 100-point game was the highlight of a season during which Chamberlain set a record by scoring points per game.
The NBA of 1962 was very different than the league we know today, both on and off the court. Not coincidentally, 1961-62 also marked the high-water mark for NBA scoring at 118.8 points per game. Because steals, blocks and turnovers were not yet tracked (and would not be for a decade and a half more), we don't have a complete picture. What we can tell from field goal attempts and free throw attempts shows a fast-paced, inefficient game that most closely resembles the Paul Westhead Nuggets of anything from the last quarter-century.
In 1961-62, the average team took 107.7 shots and 37.1 free throws per game. That's 124.0 shooting plays per game. Chamberlain's Warriors played even faster, averaging 129.3. Since the ABA-NBA merger, only Westhead's 1990-91 team has averaged more than 113.4 shooting plays per game, at 120.3. (The top seven post-merger spots all belong to Denver squads, most of them coached by Doug Moe.) So the high scoring averages seen in 1961-62 were much more about volume than efficiency. The average True Shooting Percentage in 1961-62 was .479; the worst of the last three decades was .511, in the 1998-99 lockout-shortened season. (This year it's .522.) Though we don't have exact turnover numbers, the history of turnover rates declining sharply as soon as the stat was tracked at the individual level suggests many more plays ended in turnovers a half-century ago than now.
Accounting for pace takes much of the air out of Chamberlain's numbers from 1961-62. Converting his points per game to an environment with more than a quarter fewer plays takes his scoring average from 50.4 to 35.9--still higher than any achieved since the merger, but barely better than the 35.4 points per game Bryant averaged in 2005-06. If we move the opposite direction, here's how this year's leaderboard would look, converted to Chamberlain's 1961-62 pace:
Player Tm PPG
Kobe Bryant LAL 41.2
Kevin Durant OKC 39.9
LeBron James MIA 39.1
Andrea Bargnani TOR 34.7
Kevin Love MIN 34.2
Russell Westbrook OKC 33.7
Deron Williams NJN 32.0
Dwyane Wade MIA 32.0
Derrick Rose CHI 31.6
Monta Ellis GSW 31.5
Wouldn't the three-way scoring race between Kobe Bryant, Kevin Durant and LeBron James be a whole lot more fun if all three players were pushing 40 points a night? Converting to 1961-62 pace also indicates that no fewer than 69 players would average at least 20 points per game, including such luminaries as Gerald Henderson and Jarrett Jack.
But wait, there's more! The most remarkable aspect of Chamberlain's 1961-62, to me, is the 48.5 minutes he averaged. Chamberlain missed just eight possible minutes all season. Seen one way, it's a testament to his superhuman ability that Chamberlain could play so effectively with so little rest. (He also had to avoid foul trouble, one of his legendary strengths throughout his career.) At the same time, Chamberlain's prodigious minute totals certainly made it a lot easier for him to pile up points. If we push everyone's average to 48.5 minutes per game, suddenly the modern league features a handful of Wilts.
Player Tm PPG
Kobe Bryant LAL 52.5
LeBron James MIA 51.6
Kevin Durant OKC 50.9
Dwyane Wade MIA 48.0
Andrea Bargnani TOR 46.6
Russell Westbrook OKC 46.5
Derrick Rose CHI 43.3
Carmelo Anthony NYK 43.0
Kevin Love MIN 41.9
Deron Williams NJN 41.7
I don't know about anyone else, but I love the concept of a league where James and Dwyane Wade average a combined 99.6 points per game. However, we're no longer being fair to The Dipper. Part of the reason current players like better from this perspective is they enjoy the benefit of greater efficiency for a variety of reasons, including the three-point shot (a weapon for each of the top 10 scorers) and the same slower pace for which we've previously accounted. So what if we improve Wilt's efficiency by the difference between the two leagues? Suddenly Chamberlain's improved average of 55.0 points per game is tops again, albeit by a narrow margin.
Applying the same adjustments to Chamberlain's 100 point night shows the modern equivalent is about 77 points. So maybe Bryant's 81-point effort on January 22, 2006 was in fact no less impressive, but no one else has reached such heights. Even if Chamberlain's feat was aided by the league context in which he played, it still stands the test of time.

You left out Jordan's 37.1 PPG during the 1986-1987 which is the highest scoring average since the merger as well as the highest non-Wilt scoring average. What does that convert to in comparison to this season and Wilt's 61-62 season?

Flight schedules are gradually improving today (March 8), though problems still remain in the Northeast.
As of 9:30 a.m. ET, more than 330 flights have been canceled nationwide, according to flight-tracking service FlightStats. Most of those come at airports serving New York City and New England, places that are still feeling the effects of a winter storm that snarled flights from the Dakotas to the Atlantic as it moved across the USA this week.

FLIGHT TRACKER: Is your flight on time?
Of today's cancellations, nearly two thirds of those come from just three airports: Boston Logan, New York LaGuardia and Newark Liberty.
Conditions are expected to improve later today as the storm pulls offshore, taking its strong winds and precipitation with it.
But that's after nearly 5,700 flights have been canceled across the USA since Monday, when the storm first began disrupting flights in the upper Midwest. Thousands of other flights have suffered long storm-related delays during the same period.
The biggest daily disruption from this week's storm came on Wednesday, when more than 2,400 U.S. flights were canceled. Most of those cancellations came at Washington Dulles and Washington Reagan National, where airlines preemptively scrapped more than 1,200 the day before in anticipation of heavy snow.
But the storm was a bust for large parts of the D.C. area, with downtown and the eastern suburbs seeing mostly rain or wet, non-accumulating snow. About 5 inches accumulated at Washington Dulles, but it was mostly a rain event at Reagan National and BWI.
"There have been incidents like this before where weather forecasts and reality are divorced," Henry Harteveldt, travel industry analyst for Hudson Crossing, says in an e-mail to Today in the Sky.
"It's a no-win scenario for airlines," Harteveldt adds. "Ignore the forecasts and carriers risk having aircraft and crew stuck and unable to efficiently recover. Heed the warnings, and airlines risk inconveniencing passengers with preemptive cancellations, along with routing aircraft and crews out of the storm's path. In each scenario, airlines run the risk of losing revenue and absorbing extra costs."
"In this case, airlines rolled the dice, and lost. The good news is that the lack of snow and bad weather may speed up their operational recovery," he says.
The storm first began affecting flights Monday, with about 370 flights canceled nationwide, according to FlightStats. More than 1,800 were canceled Tuesday as the storm snarled flights in Minneapolis and moved into the Chicago area. Then came Wednesday's 2,400 cancellations, mostly in D.C. and the Northeast, followed by about 790 for Thursday and the 330 so far today.
As has become common, most big airlines issued flexible rebooking policies for fliers with flights to, from or through the airports in the storm's path.
The fine print varies by airline, but most allow customers to make one change within a certain rebooking window without paying additional fare or change fees.
