NJEA recently testified in support of two tenure reform proposals being considered by the Legislature. Our ability to do so was the result of extensive discussions with legislators in both the Assembly and the Senate to ensure that these bills met NJEA's high standards for smart tenure reform. After more than 18 months of work, those efforts have paid off in the form of tenure reform bills that NJEA and many other educational groups support.
It was not always certain that tenure reform efforts would achieve broad consensus. An earlier version of the Senate legislation, S-1455, contained a number of provisions that were unacceptable to NJEA and other education groups. Among our concerns with the original legislation were:
Put simply, that proposal would have eliminated tenure in all but name and left New Jersey's teachers vulnerable to political manipulation and other mistreatment, with no meaningful recourse. When a version of the bill with those elements still included was discussed by a Senate committee earlier this year, NJEA testified strongly in opposition.
As a result of extensive discussions and negotiations over the last several months, the bill has been amended to deal with all of those concerns. Under the version NJEA supported this week:
NJEA remains in discussion with the sponsors of both bills, as well as with other legislative leaders. We are working to ensure our members' rights to defend themselves against spurious tenure charges.
For more details, please see this Q and A document that summarizes the key elements of the Senate bill, including the changes that allowed NJEA to support it.

Acupuncture is one of the safest medical treatments, both conventional and complementary, on offer in the UK.
Two surveys conducted independently of each other and published in the British Medical Journal in 2001 concluded that the risk of a serious adverse reaction to acupuncture is less than 1 in 10,000. This is far less than many orthodox medical treatments.
One survey was of traditional acupuncturists and the other of doctors who practise acupuncture. A total of 66,000 treatments were reviewed altogether, with only a handful of minor and transient side effects recorded. A 2003 survey of 6,000 patients of acupuncture produced almost identical figures. There are very few side effects from acupuncture when practised by a fully qualified practitioner of traditional acupuncture. Any minor side effects that do occur, such as dizziness or bruising around needle points, are mild and self-correcting. When you receive treatment from a BAcC registered acupuncturist you can be confident that your wellbeing and safety is at the heart of everything your practitioner does. The following assurances are BAcC standard:

Byron Hetzler, USA TODAY Sports
The U.S. defeated Costa Rica 1-0 in a crucial World Cup qualifier on Friday night in Commerce City, Colo., but the result itself wasn't the story of the match.
Played in blizzard-like conditions, officials briefly halted the match 10 minutes after halftime, but players from both sides seemed to be encouraging the referees to allow play to continue. It did, and the U.S. held on.
After the match, Costa Rica's manager Jorge Luis Pinto vented his frustrations and said the Costa Rican FA will file an official protest to FIFA.
"It was an embarrassment to football, disrespectful to the game.
"I feel embarrassed... We're going to ask about it. When you can't see the lines on the field, the game should automatically be stopped."
Costa Rica's players also fumed after the match.
Midfielder Christian Bolanos, who plays in Denmark:
"Honestly, it was robbery, a disgrace, I've never played a game in these conditions. You couldn't see the ball ... if we had played without snow, we would have won, I am sure."
Forward Alvaro Saborio of MLS club Real Salt Lake:
"We couldn't play in those conditions, they should have stopped the game in the first half."
If the game had been abandoned, it would have had to be played within 48 hours, a major problem with both teams playing qualifiers on Tuesday.
Added goalkeeper Keylor Navas:
"They're not playing conditions for playing soccer on. I would love to play in a field where the field was good."
Considering the pitches at some other CONCACAF sites, you could easily argue that Friday's snow-covered field was in better condition than the sandlots around the region.
Earlier on Friday, Mexico and Honduras played to a 2-2 draw with temperatures rising above 100 degrees in San Pedro Sula.

January 05 2012 08:58AM
The other night undoubtedly registered a wide range of emotions amongst fans. From the shock at the Russian start; the anger of the Canadian's undisciplined play; the dismay of a five goal deficit; the elation of a four goal comeback; the heartbreak of a one goal loss and finally to the agony that for the first time in eleven years, we will not be watching Canada play in the Gold medal game.
However, it's not over just yet for the Canadian Juniors. They can still come out of the tournament with a medal. It may not be Gold, but there is something to be said about the fact that you have to lose the game to get the silver; you have to win the bronze. Canada can still end this tournament on their terms and walk away with their heads held high.
Canada will be without Boone Jenner for the Bronze medal game, not because of the vicious elbow he took from Russian defenseman Idlar Isangulov, but because of what happened after. When Jenner went down after getting hit, his face hit the ice as well. As he lay on the ice, Yevgeni Kuznetsov skated up to him and said something. What he said we will probably never know, but it was enough for Jenner to lose his composure and deliver a spear to the Russian player. It wasn't much of a shot, but the IIHF is very strict with its rules and the spear got Boone a 1 game suspension.
So here we are.Eeleven forwards and one game left. I expect one of the extra players on defence to be moved up in the empty slot on the fourth line.
Jaden Schwartz – Mark Scheifele – Brendan Gallagher
Jonathan Huberdeau – Ryan Strome – Mark Stone
Quinton Howden – Freddie Hamilton – Brett Connolly
Michael Bournival - – Tanner Pearson
Brandon Gormley – Dougie Hamilton
Scott Harrington – Ryan Murray
Jamie Oleksiak – Nathan Beaulieu
Mark Pysyk
You gotta think that Canada will go with Mark Visentin in this game. Wedgewood has been rocked physically in two straight games, hits that have had an impact near his head and neck. The hit from the Russian looked really painful and it wouldn't be a stretch to assume the kid is still hurting. Visentin has the second best GAA in the tournament at an even 2.00; he played well in relief of Wedgewood and has something to prove.
Finland finds itself in the Bronze medal game because it couldn't sustain a lead on Sweden and was limited in opportunity. Not once during the entire game did the Finns enjoy a power play, not even an abbreviated one. It seemed to baffle the team and to say the least, did not go unnoticed, especially by Finnish forward Teemu Pulkkinen.
"It's amazing that they didn't get any penalties, I can't understand that."
With 2:38 left in the game Sweden's coach, Roger Ronnberg, called a timeout to compose his young team. It worked and Max Friberg scored sending the game into overtime. When the extra period resolved nothing, the two teams headed to the shoot-out. Sebastian Colberg tallied first for the Swedes, only to have Joel Armia counter. Once again Friberg scored to put his team back in the lead. Finland couldn't find an answer to Gustafsson, and just like they showed against Russia, Sweden had come back to overcome a deficit and win a second straight meaningful game.
Finland has played a very good tournament and they are getting quality play from their top line. Mikael Granlund and Teemu Pulkkinen sit second and third respectively in tournament scoring while Markus Granlund and Joel Armia sit just outside the top 10.
Here's how the Finns look
Markus Granlund – Mikael Granlund (C) – Teemu Pulkkinen
Joonas Donskoi (A) - Miikka Salomäki - Joel Armia
Miro Aaltonen - Aleksander Barkov - Alexander Ruuttu
Roope Hämäläinen - Otto Paajanen - Mikael Kuronen
Markus Hännikäinen
Konsta Mäkinen - Jani Hakanpää (A)
Miro Hovinen - Ville Pokka
Rasmus Ristolainen - Simo-Pekka Riikola
Sami Aittokallio leads all goalies in the tournament with a 1.92 GAA, so look for him to get the call for Finland in what is now their most important game. The Finns are going to want all hands on deck for this game. They want the medal and they want to beat Canada just as much as any of the other countries do.
There is no doubt that Finland is going want to come after Canada right off the hop and see if they can duplicate what the Russians did in the semi-final. If they can get a couple on the board quickly, they might feel they can get Canada into a 'whatever' mode and take them mentally out of the game. Is it a stretch? Not by any means as Canada will undoubtedly take the ice still wondering what might have been. One has to wonder how much of their attention will be truly on this game.
Regardless of how you feel as to why Canada is in the bronze medal game, be it undisciplined play or taking the Russians lightly resulting in them beating themselves, Canada has shown that they are not a team that gives up. Many teams would have probably been far more apathetic finding themselves down 6-1 to one of the elite countries of hockey, but Canada battled back and damn near pulled off the impossible.
As hard as it is for these kids to do, to push the semi-final out of their heads, it's also something they are going to have to get used to in their professional careers, so they might as well get started now. Focus on what is next and that's Finland. If they just go out and play their game, they will be fine, after all this is the same team they beat 8-1 to kick off the tournament.
Canada has shown us that is easier said than done though; they weren't able to do that against Russia and they paid dearly for it. The Canadians need to maintain composure as well. As I stated above, the Finns didn't get a single power play against the Swedes and they are going to be licking their chops at the chance to take advantage of an undisciplined rattled Canadian squad.
...and go Russia tonight.

Komrades! It is as the komrade leader promised. Kanadians are only Amerikans vith no guns and no rubles. Their goalies are soft like Amerikan cheese. Their defense is veak like Amerikan beer. Their wodka is as vater. They can beat only defenseless baby seals. And their vomen are skinny like broom - not sturdy like traktor. Ve have von a great wiktory. Our children vill remember this day! Now ve beat Sveden and tonight ve dance in the streets and on the faktory floor. Tonight ve sing songs on the Kolectiv farms. Long live komrades Putin and Medvedev! Long live wictorious Mother Russia, birthplace of hockey and home to champions of vorld!

Alzo Kanadians have leetle wieners.
I'm more interested in the gold medal game. Couldn't care less where Canada finishes now. Go Sweden!
So Canada goes 4-0 at Rexall and then is winless at the Saddledome. Hmmm...Interesting...
I like the Finns, so if Canada has to lose this game I'd rather it be them than the U.S. or Russia. And I will be temporarily changing my nationality to represent the TreKronor this evening.
Here's hoping Kuznetsov gets blown up by a Klefbom.

Skip to comments.Flip-flops like this: Sarah Palin calls out Sen. Rubio for supporting amnesty
Posted on 06/23/2013 12:04:00 PM PDT by Bigtigermike
Sarah Palin @SarahPalinUSA:
Politicians wonder why we can't trust them? Campaign flip-flops like this and carve-out bribes in the Amnesty... http://fb.me/2IsL1uspC
Palins tweet links to a story from TownHall.com detailing Sen. Marco Rubios (D-Fla.) flip-flop over amnesty for illegal immigrants.
During a debate with opponents Rep. Kendrick Meek and Gov. Charlie Crist, candidate Rubio argued that giving illegal immigrants an earned path to citizenship, which Crist, Sen. John McCain and former President George W. Bush had advocated, is basically amnesty.
Rubio, who won that 2010 election, is now the leading Republican in the U.S. Congress pushing for illegal aliens to be given the earned path to citizenship that he himself insisted was code for amnesty only three years ago
(Excerpt) Read more at twitchy.com ...
Rubio said what he said at the time, to get where he is today. Now that the fools have elected him, he's full steam ahead to clear the path for "his people." I just hope that the effort he's leading today fails, and that the voters of Florida show him the door at the very first opportunity.
As far as I'm concerned, anyone who votes for this is voting AGAINST the American people. They will never, ever get a vote from me again. I may no longer be a Republican but I've still got a memory like an elephant. I never forget.
Way to go, Sarah!!
At least something good has come from the Gang of h8: it's good to finally meet the real Marco Rubio!
Yes and Amen!!!!!!
Amen. All who vote for this amnesty bill are traitors. I can understand the ideological motives of the America-hating communist democrats doing so, but the Republicans voting for it are doing it for the money. That makes them traitors for hire.
Rubio is one of the insiders now, a member of the elites who exercise power over the American people he is looting. He doesn't care what Sarah or anyone beneath his station has to say to him.
I don't understand why we need to give amnesty.
We have millions of unemployed or underemployed citizens as it is. Yet we want to give amnesty to millions here now, and allow millions more to immigrate, because we allegedly need workers in our economy. Jeb Bush says that these immigrants are fertile, and that this somehow makes the case for allowing millions of new immigrants, as well as amnesty for those already here.
We're told that we are a nation of immigrants, and so based on this history, that means we can't do anything about illegal aliens, or secure the border? We can't enforce laws already on the books, such as laws against employing people in this country illegally? What the heck kind of world are we living in?
Hey Marco, how's it feel to get beaten up by a girl?
Hey Marco, hows it feel to get beaten up by a girl?
good one. worthy of a bumper sticker
Because the GOP is run by cheap labor billionaires like Adelson Koch Brothers HEB grocery stores and Moron Roves feeds them Luis lies
You mean "above" his station. Elected officials are barely a life form and certainly nothing to be compared to a private citizen.
Now, it's very important for our citizens to also know that I don't believe we ought to have amnesty. I don't think we ought to reward illegal behavior. There are plenty of people standing in line to become a citizen. And we ought not to crowd these people ahead of them in line.
If they want to become a citizen, they can stand in line, too.
And here is where my opponent and I differ. In September 2003, he supported amnesty for illegal aliens.
Weren't we fortunate to have a Republican president who opposed amnesty and rewarding illegal behavior, and to have avoided that amnesty pushing Democrat John Kerry? Playing word games and dishing out lies with the best of them.
IIRC, candidate Rubio wanted no part of Sarah's help during his campaign.
It would appear they have different ideas about conservatism.
Yep. Kelly Ayotte is another flipper on the issue.
The national mood is going against everything Washington DC political establishment. Should Sarah Palin choose to run for president in 2016, she is well positioned to become the "people's candidate".
No, she is not. Palin may be right on the issues, but she has been destroyed in her private life and in the past year, she helped them do further damage to her own reputation.
I have heard none of this. Please feel free to share, or keep quiet thanks.
Do tell.
What are the chances of seeing Sarah Palin and Marco Rubio in the same Fox News studio at the same time where they are both employed? The same chance of seeing Superman and Clark Kent in the same room at the same time. After all Sarah gets a paycheck from Fox News. Rubio works for free in hopes of upping his poll numbers with mind numbed GOPe Fox viewers. If Sarah shared some face time on Fox with Marco, I bet she would not be bashful in asking Marco, what gives with this amnesty crap?
Facts are facts, you will never see Rubio confronted with the truth that Sarah Palin be packing around.
Rubio seems to always be appearing on Hannity where Sean shamelessly pleasures him in front of an onlooking world.
Palin made a fool of herself during the election coverage at FOX News.
Typical Sarah... out at the front of the line and carrying our flag.
Illegal alien are just criminals who show no concern for our laws as long as they get what they want. If we are a country built on the law they should not be allowed to have citizenship. It looks to me that the only ones who want them here are the same ones who are only looking out for themselves and what they can get.
What's wrong with women Senators from New England? They don't have two brain cells between all of them. Ayotte, The Evil Twins from Maine, Fauxahontas, you name it ,they are all at least a quart low.
Excuse me please.
I pay pretty close attention to Sarah Palin, can you please be more specific?
I recall none of this. I recall Romney was our nominee last time, and Palin stood to one side.
But I do not recall anything about her "making a fool of herself".
Do you perhaps have any examples?
I don't propose giving them citizenship. I only propose keeping track of those who are already in the country and giving them some sort of ability to work here, similar to a Green card.
I propose giving driver's licenses to illegals, accompanied by a full set of fingerprints and a prepaid insurance policy, which would expire whenever the insurance policy expired and could only be renewed in person with a finger print check.
Driving without a license would be grounds for deportation.
Did you watch the election coverage? Do you remember the hissy fit that Palin had when asked to cover the VP debate? She almost got fired from FOX over it.
I have absolutely NO idea what that person is even talking about. Sarah Palin was not involved in the election night coverage, it was Karl Rove and Bill O'Reilly, Sarah Palin was not even there..and I would love to see a clip of Sarah Palin supposedly "Making a fool of herself."
I did not see that sorry.
I do recall there were several debates though, and Romney did well in the first one.
What happened to him after that?
That was more to the point, since he was the candidate...
Can FL impeach him?
Only those who are pawns of the MSM would make that statement. THEY GOT YOU!!!!!!!! HA! HA! HA!
So you'd amnesty them all. Make them 'legal' despite their many felonies. And of course set them up for the inevitable "it's only fair" path to citizenship.
If so, that makes her criticism much more powerful, IMO.
Not sure what you are talking about. The Palin's personal life is just fine and NO ONE has damaged them, especially themselves.
I look at her critic's personal lives and see that they could only hope to have such a life as the Palins. Her critics are hypocrites of the highest order. I pay absolutely no attention to their caterwauling and neither would the voters if she garners the nomination.
Ann has strayed from the straight and conservative, but she's certainly right on illegal immigration and putting up the good fight on it.
Best of my recollection that was the *biggie* of that night.
Rino Rove kind of went nutty that night with his little chalk board and was vanished from FOX for a while.
Yeah I remember that night well(Almost vomited having to watch Obama get re-elected) it was a huge cat fight between O'Reilly and Rove because Rove refused to believe he was wrong and that Romney would lose. Sarah Palin wasn't even there that night..and as far as this supposed hissy fit during the VP debate..all I have to say is LOL wut? Never happened..in fact Sarah Palin praised Paul Ryan for doing a good job during the debate, there was no hissy fit
Yeah but still, it's very strange though. It wouldn't surprise me in the least if the twice unconstitutionally elected communist regime is threatening him in some way. There just seems to be an *awful* amount of RINOs lately doesn't there? Remember: The M.O. of the admitted foreign born twice unconstitutionally elected Kenyan and his boy Axelpod is to dig up dirt of his opponents, getting "sealed" court records "unsealed" (except his of course). So it would not surprise me in the least if he is still doing this and holding it over their heads.
She did in effect get fired from Fox News when her contract was not renewed.
Methinks that had nothing to do with a singular act of insubordination that you refer to and I am unfamiliar with.
Sarah was not renewed because she could not tow the GOPe Party line and take her talking points from Tokyo Rove.
Whether Sarah was eventually renewed because she went begging on hand and knee to get her job back or whether they needed a token truthteller on Fox News is anyone's guess.
It would seem that Fox News needs Sarah as much if not more than she needs them.
Ailes and Tokyo Rove treat conservatives like dogs and having Palin spottily appear off prime time programming is there way of throwing conservatives a bone. The GOPe at Fox News believes us conservatives should be wagging our tails because Sarah gets some face time on their most obscure programming.
What will this do to the unemployment rate, will they be now included in that number?
Well, Rubio and his aides say we Americans can't cut it, we're lousy workers, don-cha-know.
It used to be, we needed these illegals to do the jobs Americans "wouldn't" do; now, according to Marco and his amigos in the Gang of Ocho, it's to do the jobs Americans "can't" do.
I agree, reluctantly. While I would not say 'never'', the odds are strongly against ever seeing a Palin presidency. I hope she'll line up with a like minded conservative to run. Her backing would do wonders in the primary, and the candidate would not enter with the insurmountable negatives in the general election.
From my standpoint I disagree.
I believe she chose to spend four solid years with her family, and let Obama make a mess of things.
I think (hope) she'll be back around in 2016 for the real thing.

Author of Ed Engoron's Choclatique, Running Press, 2011
Do you want to feel better? Just a whiff of chocolate can do it.
Just before you ripped the wrapper off your chocolate bar yesterday, did you take a moment to have a good sniff of the unwrapped bar?
While just eating chocolate is enough to put most of us in a good frame of mind and now latest research suggests "odor du chocolat" – just the smell of it – can improve your mood.
This happy news comes from the Human Olfaction Laboratory at Middlesex University, where Neil Martin, a reader in psychology, investigates the effects of room smells on human behavior. In his laboratory, Martin has a square box called an AromaCube, which heats up "odorants" and percolates the smell around the room. That is where Chocolate smells like a "great tasting" theory.
From that box, Martin discovered the power of chocolate in an experiment where he filled rooms with three smells, one of chocolate, a "malodor" of machine oil, which most people find unpleasant, and a lemony, pleasant-but-alerting odor, then monitored testers' moods.
The aim was to compare the effects of pleasant and unpleasant ambient odors on stress, anxiety, depression and mood. The results proved that that the smell of chocolate really does make people less stressed and anxious, and more relaxed.
Chocoholics will also be pleased to hear about some of Martin's earlier research. In another study he looked at the effect of chocolate on brain activity. People were presented with a range of smells, some artificial food odors and some real food odors, with both samples including chocolate. He used electroencephalography technology to record his participants' brain waves as they sniffed the air, and found that in both experiments, the chocolate smell consistently led to a reduction in a particular type of brain activity called theta, which is thought to be an index of attentiveness. Theta levels dropped significantly across both indexes when testees smelled chocolate.
The experiment also shows there is no need for chocolate snobbery. We all know connoisseurs say posh chocolate, with a higher cocoa content, is better for your health, and it might be in some ways, but when it comes to the aroma of chocolate and its resultant relaxing effect, it was found it was the same however much milk the bar contained.
But some of his other scent findings provide more significant practical effects. It seems that scent can affect employment. One study found that a combination of perfume and formal dress worn by an applicant led interviewers to rate them as less warm, more manipulative and less presentable. The study also showed people perform less well on cognitive tasks and report more symptoms of ill health when smelling a "bad" smell.
As a result, people should be aware of their "olfactory environment" to control their feelings. People can use scents to improve alertness, well-being and reduce anxiety. "For example, another study showed that women in a dentist's waiting room scented with orange reported less anxiety than those in an unscented counterpart.
In another experiment, PlayStations were loaded with a car rally game to test the effect of a lemon smell on driving ability. Men and women were invited to play the game on three different levels and in three different environments, one in an odorless room, one smelling of lemon, and one of machine oil.
The results showed that participants were consistently able to brake more safely and appropriately in the presence of the lemon scent. It's perhaps because the smell is citrusy and alerting, and suggests that dangling a lemon-scented air freshener in the car could make you a better driver.
The psychology of aromas is like a Rubik's cube—hard to pin down and more difficult to describe. The problem is science doesn't really understand smells yet. We have vague terms for them, and say things like "it smells like this or that," but we don't have chemical terms for most odors.
One thing is certain, however. The effects of most smells tend to be short-lived. With the exception of chocolate, we get used to odors very quickly and after a while the odor disappears because we become habituated to it.

This product is also available in these versions:
Tramp/Soul, CD (£11.50)
More from Modern with the two major Lowell Fulsom albums on one CD. Tramp needs no introduction and it gave Lowell Fulsom his biggest hit in early 1967. Cut between '64 and '67 these sides give a real impression of the unique style of Lowell Fulsom, a man who sang the blues with soul and almost created his own category along the way. There is some great guitar picking, fantastic Maxwell Davis arrangements, and a sparse but effective use of horns, all over a rock solid rhythm section. From the late 1940s Fulsom cut for many labels, starting in Oakland and generally remaining on the West Coast throughout the50s, though many sides came out on Checker, the Chess subsidiary. He cut for Kent, the Modern subsidiary in the mid 60s, before moving to Jewel at the end of the decade. Throughout his career he played with a wide variety of other artists, from Ivory Joe Hunter, to Clifton Chenier and gave breaks early on to the likes of Ray Charles and Stanley Turrentine. A highly adaptable musician, he nonetheless never lost sight of his roots in blues.

Lowest Price Guarantee
The CCM U+ Crazy Light hockey stick is one of the lightest hockey sticks on the market. Upon picking up a U+ CL you instantly see why CCM has called this stick the Crazy Light.
CCM has constructed the U+ Crazy Light out of multiple layers of high-grade carbon fiber to reduce weight and maintain performance and durability. What sets this stick apart from others on the market is how CCM has been able to construct a stick at this weight and without compromising the performance. The extremely lightweight feel offers better puck feel and balance, quicker reaction time, faster swing speed, and hopefully more pucks in the back of the net.
CCM has redesigned the blade of the Crazy Light stick to offer increased feel and durability. Two vertical and parallel carbon bridges run the length of the blade, enhancing the sweet spot from the heel all the way to the toe for the most forgiving blade in hockey.
- Heritage: U+ Crazy Light continuation
- Level of Player: Ideal for the advance to pro level player
- Construction: Fused one-piece
- Shaft Dimensions: Rounded corners/Double concavity
- Flex Point: Low kick
- Weight: 417 grams (85 flex, weight varies slightly with curves)
- Construction:
- 100% Ultra low aerial unidirectional super lightweight carbon fibers to reduce the overall stick weight
- 360° Inter-laced full woven wrap - Making the crazy light one of the most durable sticks in this weight category
- Impact enhance slash zone
- Flex Profile:
- Optimized balance point
- Hollow point system energy transfer
- True Spear technology used to fuses the blade to the shaft for optimal energy transfer and low kick point
- Geometry:
- 'C' contoured geometry
- Grip:
- Textured Matte Finish
- Light sandpaper feel
- Not as prominent as previous CL models
- Blade:
- Dual bridge technology provides an oversized "sweet spot" for a more accurate shot every time
- Advanced compression molded
- 100% Pre-preg thin lightweight carbon micro-fibers - Multiple layers of high-grade carbon placed at different angles in the blade to offer more straight and durability with less weight
- 360° Inter-laced full woven wrap
- Flex: 75, 85, and 100
- Length: 61" (85 and 100 flex), 59" (75 flex)
Comments: I just ordered this stick with the Thornton curve to upgrade from an Easton EQ20 and upon opening the box, it's extremely light. The blade has a nice pop to it. To me, it makes passing and receiving passes easier. My shots are definitely a lot quicker and getting some air under the puck is significantly easier. With the low price, I'd definitely order it again.

Moulded pralines
Moulded pralines display dull stains
Beautiful sheeny pralines and yet there are dull stains on the coating shell? Far from perfect.
Holes in the pralines
Did you notice holes in the chocolate? Especially in the corners and on sharp angles?
Pralines are difficult to unmould
Is the chocolate difficult to unmould? Even after tapping it loose repeatedly?
Moulded pralines have not been properly sealed
The filling is visible here and there - causing untimely deterioration.
The chocolate in the mould will not harden
What if chocolate does not harden within 5 minutes? And still feels moist to the touch?
The chocolate in the mould hardens very slowly
If chocolate has only hardened after several hours, then something is wrong.
The chocolate sticks to the mould
If pieces of chocolate stick to the mould, the pralines cannot
be sold.
The moulds are dirty and contain remnants
Remnants are transferred to newly poured chocolate products. How are moulds soiled?
Moulded pralines turn completely grey
If the chocolate turns grey after hours/days of being cooled, something went wrong while you used it.
Fingerprints on finished products
Fingerprints on chocolate products? Where do they come from even if you did not touch the chocolate?
Coating shell is too dense
According to the tricks of the trade, chocolate has to have a thin, crunchy coating shell.
Dipped pralines
The chocolate hardens very slowly
Chocolate has only har- dened after a few hours? It should have hardened after just a few minutes.
There are air bubbles in the coating shell
There are air bubbles or holes in the coating shell and the shell looks rather dense.
Thickening or foot at the base
The base of dipped pralines is too heavy... Not according to the tricks of the trade.
Traces of the dipping fork
Can you see traces of the teeth of the dipping fork on the bottom or side of the dipped pralines?
Dipped pralines turn white after two days
Although the pralines looked good initially, they turn a white-greyish hue after two days.
Hollow figures
Hollow figures break while unmoulding them
If hollow figures break while unmoulding, then the coating shell is not sufficiently dense.
Hollow figures turn completely grey
If the chocolate turns grey after hours/days of being cooled, something went wrong while you used it.
Hollow figures cannot be unmoulded
Is it impossible to unmould chocolate? Then something went wrong while you used the chocolate.
Fatbloom and sugarbloom
Chocolate mousse for pastries
Chocolate mousse has a sandy texture, full of lumps
The perfect chocolate mousse should be firm and well-aerated. And it should melt on the tongue.
Chocolate mousse is too heavy and dense
If chocolate mousse is too dense and firm like a ganache, it is far too heavy for pastries.
The chocolate mousse is too soft
Chocolate mousse in pastries should be firm enough to carry other components.
The glazing on pastries doesn't shine
What went wrong if the glazing on your pastries is completely matte?
The glazing shows tiny, matte spots
Glazing should look impeccably brilliant. What causes the appearance of tiny, matte spots?
The glazing shows air bubbles
A glazing should be slick, smooth and shiny. Air bubbles can have different causes.
The glazing is too rigid
Too rigid glazing structure causes the glazing to be too thick and messes up the pastries while cutting.
The glazing does not hold on pastries and slides off
A perfect glazing should hold on pastries for at least 2 days without sliding off.
Chocolate mixtures for the airbrush gun
The airbrush sprayed-on layer peels off
An airbrushed layer should be thin and beautifully distributed on the pastry surface without peeling off.
The airbrushed layer does not look velvety
The airbrushed chocolate or cocoa butter mixtures should look perfectly even, matte and velvety.

Overall a pretty good course. The trees provide a reasonable challenge even on the shorter holes. Take a photo of the course map near the start on your phone -- you will need to reference later during the round. Otherwise some tees (Hole 13) can be hard to find. If you want a challenge, have a big arm, and brought a few extra discs -- try the pro tees, wow.

My favorite course in Alaska but Birch Hill is a close second. (That's probably my local bias and I haven't played Hilltop.) Locals have done an amazing job maintaining this course. Pro tees are intense and even the am tees are no joke. Watch your discs carefully, heard quite a few stories about lost discs. This is a championship level course, no doubt about it. Don't be a douche and pack out your trash.

There are times where the best play is a short shot to set up a long approach. This course rewards a great shots, and can severely punish a bad one.

I have a hate relationship will Hole 12, and thing Pro 10 could use a redesign, but other than that, this course is challenging and beautiful. Pro 3 offers a great view, and if you're not careful will eat your disc, enjoy the view and the search.

Great everyday flats
"When I worked at DSW, I did not appreciate Born or BOC as much as I should have. There were some cute styles, but my size was never available so I didn't have the chance to try them until after I left. I regret not wearing them until recently. I was at DSW (yes, even after I quit, I still love shopping there!) and I saw these and thought they would be the perfect fall black flat- especially for walking to class. The arch support is amazing, the bow is cute, and the leather is super soft. I should have bought the brown pair at the same time, but I waited. So dumb! LOVE these shoes and this brand. It would be a mistake not to get these."

Very comfortable. More rounded that in picture.
"I am giving these shoes 4 stars because they were very comfortable and look like they'd wear very well, but I am returning them because I don't like how they look. The toe is much more rounded than it looks in the pictures, and I don't like the fabric of the bow."

Marketplaces consider many factors when determining which sellers get top product listings.
Whether you're a consumer or a merchant on Amazon or eBay, you've probably noticed that some prices change too fast to keep up with. And over the past few years as online marketplaces grew, merchants trying to stay competitive have increased the frequency with which they re-price their products, say marketplace sellers and the vendors who provide them with automated re-pricing and product listing technologies.
But now many of those vendors, including Mercent Corp., Teikametrics, ChannelAdvisor Corp. and Zoovy Inc., say that having the lowest prices isn't the whole story when it comes to winning top spots in e-marketplace search results. I caught up with a few of them to find out what they know about how e-marketplaces operate and what retailers can do to boost their sales with them.
Alasdair McLean-Foreman, CEO of Teikametrics, which specializes in helping merchants to sell on Amazon's marketplace, says retailers who immediately list their products at the lowest price in order to beat competition may in fact be cheating themselves out of revenue. For example, if a merchant with 100,000 items lists them at a higher price point than a competitor with only 10 of the same item, once the competitor sells out its much smaller inventory, the merchant is free to sell its inventory for more money. For the retailer with lots of inventory, this could lead to significantly more revenue than if the merchant had aimed to offer the lowest price and ended up selling a lot of goods at rock-bottom prices, McLean-Foreman says.
Sometimes, he says, it also pays for retailers to wait before rushing to be in the Buy Box, or the first product listing that appears when a shopper on Amazon or eBay clicks the "buy now" button. That's especially true for merchants selling seasonal or niche items. A costume retailer, for instance, might want to lay low until two or three weeks before Halloween so that other merchants sell out of their costume inventory. Then the retailer that waited can respond during the period of peak demand by selling its own wares at higher prices. Teikametrics helps retailers automate timing and inventory optimizations for clients.
Looking at the question from Amazon's perspective, experts say price is only one of the factors that determine which merchant gets the top listing.
Brian Horakh, founder and CEO of Zoovy, says he's noticed that sometimes simply refreshing product information on Amazon without making any price changes garners a top listing. When he dug into the factors that determine retailers' rankings in Amazon search results, he was surprised to find that price was only one of many—the others include proximity to a buyer, shipping offers, inventory levels and reputation.
Amazon also tracks a retailer's statistics on operating performance over 30-day, 90-day and lifetime periods, he says. Such statistics include consumer ratings and cancellation rates, which come from not having the inventory to fulfill an order, and which can lower a retailer's ranking in search results on Amazon.com. "Retailers don't understand how bad it hurts them to accidently oversell," he says.
Amazon also factors into its marketplace search rankings whether a retailer participates in Fulfillment by Amazon, a program in which Amazon ships goods from its own warehouses on behalf of its marketplace sellers, Horakh says.
Still, Eric Best, CEO of Mercent, adds that despite all these factors, retailers that don't re-price with some regularity aren't doing all they can to win on e-marketplaces. Standing out online is tough, and with 90% of sales on Amazon coming from the Buy Box, he says, retailers need to be on their toes. Mercent monitors and updates product information for two million SKUs per hour. This holiday season Best says he expects to see for the first time merchants re-pricing more frequently than every hour.
"If your competitor re-prices daily and you do it hourly, for 23 hours a day you are in position to own the [purchase] decision," he says. "You might not have the Buy Box, but you can decide what to do—if they re-price at midnight or one a.m., you can decide if you want to replace them for the rest of the day."
Indeed it's up to retailers to decide whether they want to race to the lowest price to win sales. But to really maximize e-marketplace profits, they'll need a deeper strategy.

Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Yoga review: This 2-in-1's OLED screen will color your computing world
With an OLED display and an NVMe SSD, the Lenovo X1 Yoga delivers rich colors and top-notch performance.
With an OLED display and an NVMe SSD, the Lenovo X1 Yoga delivers rich colors and top-notch performance.
Chromebooks' five-year end-of-life policy—if it holds up—could put a lot of perfectly good laptops out of commission.
Apple's latest iPad Pro, the new 9.7-in. model, not only gets many of the architecture advances from the larger version, but also a better camera and what may be Apple's most advanced display yet.
ASUS has released the world's first liquid-cooled gaming laptop, under its gaming division Republic of Gamers (ROG).
The newest version of Acer's Aspire R13, a convertible laptop that can be used as a tablet, is a sleek looking thing. A versatile unit with ample power to perform most everyday tasks with ease. It's an interesting prospect for someone looking for a 2-in-1, but not without its problems.
The HP Mini 210 (NB-210-1017TU_01) is a 10in netbook with plenty of style. It looks and feels different to the netbook it replaces -- the HP Mini 110 -- but it still performs like a netbook. It offers a very solid keyboard with isolated (island-style) keys, a very smooth and responsive touchpad and an enclosure that feels almost rubbery when you touch it. Like most netbooks, it has its drawbacks: it gets warm, it only has 1GB of RAM and 802.11n Wi-Fi is absent.
Toshiba's NB300 is a 10in netbook with a slim frame, a long battery life and an advanced Sleep-and-Charge USB port. It's an almost perfect netbook for travellers thanks to these features, but even students and business users who are in the market for a tiny laptop should consider the NB300. However, it's not a very fast netbook -- its hard drive, in particular, is a bit of a slow coach — so don't expect it to be anything more than a convenient tool for Web browsing, creating office documents and watching standard-definition videos.
Toshiba's Satellite M500 (PSMKCA-009007) is a 14in, fully featured notebook that's suitable for business and home users alike. It has a dual-core Core 2 Duo CPU, modern ports and slots and a surprisingly good speaker system for a notebook of its size. It's also a surprisingly heavy laptop that actually feels more tiring to lug around than many recent 16in models we've reviewed.
MSI's CR620 is a 16in desktop replacement notebook that costs just $1199. It comes equipped with an Intel Core i3-330M CPU, 4GB of DDR3 SDRAM and a 500GB hard drive, so it will perform just fine when running office applications and even more taxing tasks such as media encoding.
ViewSonic's ViewBook Pro one of the rare ultraportable laptops to have a built-in optical drive along with a competitive price -- it costs only $1349. A DVD burner is installed in the right side of the notebook and it's a refreshing change compared to all the inexpensive ultraportables we've seen over the last few months that forego an optical drive primarily to keep the overall cost down.
Once you figure out which category of laptop best suits your needs, it's time to examine the specifications.
The ASUS N61Ja is a 16in notebook with a fast Core i5-430M CPU and a lot of modern features. In fact, it's the first notebook we've seen to sport a USB 3.0 port. It's a hefty laptop that weighs 2.7kg and it's best suited as a desktop replacement. With a little determination, you could take it to class or to the office, however.
It may look big and bulky, but Samsung's R580 is a 16in notebook that's surprisingly light. It weighs only 2.5kg and it feels very well built; it also looks stunning in its gradated, burgundy colour. While it's best suited as a desktop replacement, you'll still be able to take it with you to the office or the classroom — provided you have a bag that's big enough to accommodate it.
HP's Pavilion dm3-101tu (VV707PA) is a 13.3in notebook with good speed, long battery life, a strong yet lean body, and an affordable price tag.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

At Ease
Theme: At Ease
Artist: Robert CAMPBELL (JNR)
Birth/Death: 1944–1993
Title: Sammie Alfie Drew, local Macleay Aboriginal sporting identity
Credit Line: National Gallery of Australia, Canberra.
Robert Campbell Jnr's portrait shows the public persona of his friend Alfie Drew, who played 'winger' for the all-Aboriginal team, the Woolbrook Hawks, in the 1930s. In the lower half of the painting are the personal totems that identify the spiritual persona of the portrait's subject. A self-taught artist, and member of the Ngaku clan, Campbell was educated at Burnt Bridge Aboriginal Mission and spent his childhood in the Kempsey region. Campbell was amongst the first so-called 'urban' Aboriginal artists to travel to remote areas in the Top End of the Northern Territory, forging links with artists from the Arnhem Land communities.

Preview: Game #27 Leafs @ Jets - Flying High
Cam Charron
March 12 2013 03:41PM
The last time the Leafs went into Winnipeg, it was my last game preview writing about a goal-less Phil Kessel. Kessel scored a late game winner for the Leafs who took a 3-2 win over the Winnipeg Jets.
Last season, everything sort of crashed for the Leafs after their second visit to Winnipeg. Having taken 9 of 10 points in their last five games and a 28-20-6 record, the Leafs would go on to win just one of their next 11 games after suffering a 2-1 loss to the Jets. Chris Thorburn and Blake Wheeler scored the goals and Ondrej Pavelec, probably Winnipeg's shakiest player, stopped 17 of 18 shots. Really, he wasn't tested too much. I bring this up because an article in the Globe & Mail suggests a similar decline for Toronto this season, although with 22 games to go in the regular season rather than 28, the Leafs have a bit more breathing room.
If you need a reminder of Toronto's last game in Winnipeg, well, why would you? Other than the Kessel goal, it was a real uneventful, boring game. Toronto had just six scoring chances and Winnipeg had three. Those are reasonable numbers for a single period, not three. This was also the start of a pretty long stretch of games where Randy Carlyle was committed to boring hockey. The Leafs have drawn a little away from that in recent games starting with the one against the Islanders, so we're actually seeing some open space in the neutral zone, and the defence is doing more than "collapse in front of James Reimer or Ben Scrivens".

Numbers via Behind the Net's Team and Fenwick pages and NHL.com
Winnipeg is a bit more proficient at even strength than you might think. They're a well-coached group that has had some trouble goaltending at even strength and on the penalty kill. Pavelec has just a .797 save percentage on the penalty kill, which is much too low to be sustainable, but it's cost the Jets a lot of goals against so far this season. They're just 12-11-2, or two points out of the playoffs.
Linking the usage charts for the Jets forwards and defence. Up front you can see Evander Kane, Alex Burmistrov and Nik Antropov get the bulk of the offensive zone starts and have some success. Andrew Ladd plays tough competition and stays in the blue. Jim Slater plays a role similar to David Steckel last season: lots of defensive zone face-offs, but generally against weaker competition.
Here's their projected lineup:
Blake Wheeler - Bryan Little - Andrew Ladd
Evander Kane - Olli Jokinen - Antti Miettinen
Nik Antropov - Kyle Wellwood - James Wright
Eric Tangradi - Jim Slater - Alex Burmistrov
Ron Hainsey - Zach Bogosian
Grant Clitsome - Dustin Byfuglien
Mark Stuart - Derek Meetch
Ondrej Pavelec
Al Montoya
Their defence is stretched a little thin with an injury to Tobias Enstrom. Their fourth line looks a little sparse. Burmistrov has been benched for I-have-no-idea-why sporadically for a couple of weeks, and Noel doesn't really roll his fourth line much at all, looking for specialized areas to insert Slater, Tangradi and Burmistrov into the lineup.
Their first line is pretty killer and has lots of speed. Should be a good matchup for Kessel and James van Riemsdyk. I expect Mikhail Grabovski should see time against Jokinen and Kane, who can't be taken lightly. I would though, like to see Carlyle not match up so tight with his top checking line and top defensive pairing, since it's killing the overall abilities of those players.
Leafs lines:
James van Riemsdyk - Tyler Bozak - Phil Kessel
Clarke MacArthur - Nazem Kadri - Leo Komarov
Nik Kulemin - Mikhail Grabovski - Matt Frattin

Interesting. Wingers on the second and third line switch up and I don't entirely know the purpose. Frattin's more offensive and Komarov is more of a checker. On defence, Paul Hendrick reported that Phaneuf and Holzer are not together. Again, not positive. Carlyle switched up his defence last game to stop the bleeding against Pittsburgh and ended up with Dion Phaneuf alongside Cody Franson. To me that's a better top pair. Holzer has not been handling his assignments well this season.

One thing to read:
Don't bet against the Jets (Chris Johnston, Sportsnet)
Nice preview, couple points: "On defence, Paul Hendrick reported that Phaneuf and Holzer are not together" - I think you mean "still" or "back" rather than "not".
Also, you have Fraser and Franson flipped on your d-pair if you were lining them up by wings (like the other pairs).
