Canada in final four at NORCECABOCA CHICA, Dominican Republic, March 30, 2013 – Canadian pairs have reached the semifinals in men's play at the Boca Chica Beach Volleyball Tournament, the second leg of the 2013 NORCECA Beach Circuit.
In men's competition, Chaim Schalk of Red Deer, Alta., and Ben Saxton Calgary and Christian Redman and Maciej Zbyszewski of Toronto are in the final four with Brad Keenan and John Mayer of the U.S., and Juan Virgen and Lombardo Ontiveros of Mexico.
Schalk/Saxton won 21-18, 21-19 over Avery Drost and Will Montgomery of USA-B while Redman/Zbyszewki outlasted Luis Rodriguez and Francisco Arredondo of DOM-C by scores of 21-10, 21-12.
In Sunday's semifinals, Redman/Zbyszewski will play against Virgen/Ontiveros while Keenan/Mayer will battle Schalk/Saxton.
It was a similar story on the women's side as the two Canadian entries also won their two matches Saturday to qualify second in their respective pools with 3-1 win-loss records and advance to quarterfinals.
Jamie Broder of Victoria and Kristina Valjas of Toronto dominated Honduras' Gina Flores and Martha Euceda 21-8, 21-10 and Orellana-Ramirez 21-15, 21-16 in Pool A, while Heather Bansley and Elizabeth Maloney of Toronto won 21-12, 21-7 over Deborah Constanzo and Karla Montilla of Dominican Republic-B and 21-15, 21-8 against Peguero-Agramonte.

Great boots
"These are terrific boots. They are stylish and comfortable. They run a little narrow over the leg which is great for me - I hate those wide boots that flop around when you walk. But be aware if you have very wide calfs. All in all I cannot wait till it rains!"

Great Boot for you girls with skinny legs!
"I loved these boots online and in person. I ordered them excited to wear them on a rainy day but too my suprise....the shaft of the boot has little to no give. They would only fit over my calves without any pants or leggings on. I wouldnt say I have fat legs but they are slightly wide and muscular. The rest of the boot was great. Love the stripe detail on the back and the not so "rainboot" look. If you have slim legs go for it!For reference I measured my calves for you guys: 15.5" around."

Comments: I love these shoes. I am 61 years old and have been suffering with severe pain in my right heel for many years. I feel this pain daily, walking, running, driving, etc. I had been running on a shoe that is designed for a forefoot strike that allowed me to keep running. I have had two runs in these shoes and wore them for about 16 hours total. My heel comfort is unbelievable. No pain at all!!! I have not experienced any of the blistering other people complain about. They have a very neutral running feel which is what I like. These are not light weight racers but rather a great every day training shoe. After my first run, I went out and bought another pair for myself so I can save them for when the first pair wears out. I also bought a pair for my 16 year old son and he loves them (he is a Football running back and is using these for street training). The quality of cushioning is the best I ever had.
From: Brian Lunn, Marshfield, MA, USA
Comments: Very very average effort from Salomon. I cannot for the life of me understand why they can't produce a lower and lighter trail shoe that's not 200 dollars. The Mission is "the shoe for runners who have been running trails in road shoes" - really? I have done 40km mountain runs in racing flats and they worked better offroad than the Missions and on road the Missions are horrible. After selling my Missions (very hot to run in, heel too high, not at all flexible) I found a pair of their casual shoes called the Kalalau and the sole on those looks perfect for a lightweight daily trainer - lower heel drop and low weight. It's not hard Salomon, look around, the other brands are getting lower, lighter, and well priced shoes to us, so do the same. And no, the Sense Mantra is not reasonably priced.
From: Andrew, Durban, South Africa
Comments: Salomon should stick to the trail shoes, these are awful to run in, had blisters soon after a few miles. I now wear them just to train my clients in them because they look awesome. just not made for running.
From: Greg, New York, New York, USA
Comments: True mates, i have blisters on the arch whenever running on xr mision... really dissapointing....
From: kid, singapore
Comments: More of the same from me, blisters. I have been running in the Speedcross for 2 years, finished my first 50 miler in them and never once had any blisters or discomfort, I was looking for a new road shoe and thought I'd try the XR
Mission but these shoes are not for me. Went out for a quick 6 miles and new I was in trouble inside of mile 2, blisters just behind the balls of both feet and blisters on both achilles. I will for sure keep running the trails in my Speedcross 3's, but on the road I'm going back to old faithful.
From: Brooklin, SM, CA, USA
Comments: Running in these shoes was the best my achilles has felt in six months. I've been struggling with this pain and tried switching through a number of different shoes to no avail. I think it's most likely the abnormally high arches in these shoes, that the other reviewers mentioned, that is working the magic for my achilles. So while they may cause blisters for some people, they feel precisely right for me. The heel to toe transition feels swift and natural with these and they're surprisingly light.
From: Alan, Rochester, NY USA
Comments: XR Mission: looks great, feels bad. I'm sticking with the Crossmax. One run was all it took for me to know that this shoe wasn't what I was looking for. Strange rubbing behind the ball of my foot and I even experienced unusual toe joint pain in one foot. All in just 6 miles. Oh well, the shoes look great on my feet at my office and they are good walking around town shoes. No more running in those suckers for me. The crossmax, however, runs great. I can't say enough good things about that shoe.
From: Jake, CO, USA
Comments: Another set of blistered arches here. I've been running in Salomons for the 5+ years - XAs, then XTs and logged 2000+ miles last year in my XR Crossmax and have never had a problem until the XR Mission. Salomon needs to go back and redesign this shoe. I found the culprit inside the shoe - there is support band near the 'SensiFit' webbing that is strung too tight and rubs on the front of the arch, just behind the ball of the foot. Sorry Salomon - you botched an otherwise great shoe with a basic design flaw. Looking forward to seeing the XR Mission 2...
From: Matt, Upstate, NY, USA
Comments: Ding, ding, ding. Just put my first run in with these and got blisters on both feet which has never happened before. Curious what the return policy is. I'm going back to the Crossmax.
From: Matt, Spokane, WA, USA
Comments: I just wanted to agree with the reviewers that had the blistered arches. I've never had that happen with any pair of shoes until I used these. My first run for 10 miles was all it took to rub my arches raw. I LOVE the look and feel of these shoes and I feel that the construction and quality of the shoe is second to none. Really disappointed that I can't use them anymore though.
From: Steve, San Ramon, CA, USA
Comments: I wore these shoes while running the Pass Mtn 26k in Mesa, AZ. A Salomon vendor was demo-ing shoes at the event. I tried the Salomon XR Mission because I was battling right Achilles tendonitis that I acquired while wearing the Brooks Pure Grit. I need a higher heel to toe elevation than the Brooks Pure Grit offered, so the Salomons seemed to fit my need. I have been running for 20+ years, and these shoes provided the best cushioning of any shoe I have ever laced up. My Achilles felt wonderful. These shoes felt like a pillow on my feet while I ran through canyons, washes, gullies, switchbacks, across desert plains and up and over Pass Mtn. I was truly amazed how these shoes chewed up the vicious terrain we ran on that day. BUT just like Jean said, I felt hotspots developing less than a mile into the run and by mile 2 I had blisters on both arches. I even wear Features Elite blister proof/moisture wicking socks. By mile 5, I was hobbling as the blisters had popped and I was running on raw skin. If it was not for the cushioning these shoes provided, I would have crawled back to the finish line. I managed to finish the run, however, my feet were raw for a week afterward. Like Jean said, my foot shifted around a lot inside of the shoe as well. I like the lacing system but some parts of my foot felt locked in place and other parts were sliding around.
From: Jeremy, Chicago, IL USA
Comments: I am a big fan of Salomon, and have 3 of their shoes in my current trail line up, but I do not like this shoe. I have put six 5 mile sessions on them and cannot go any further due to excessive blisters in my arch. I have never had a shoe do this. Generally I can run with most right out of the box. And these do not seem to get any better. I think the lacing system is to blame. It does not allow for a tight enough fit thru the center of the shoe so there is too much movement. Also the lacing system broke on my last run (after only 6 runs). Not impressed with these.
From: Ryan, TX, USA

Annabelle White has a simple philosophy in life: forget stress and performance anxiety and enjoy the glorious pleasure of feeding your family and friends. Colleen Thorpe talks to Annabelle following the release of her latest cookbook, Casual Cooking.
How would you describe casual cooking?
It's all about having a relaxed and fun approach to cooking - go to the fridge, clean out the left-overs, make it into pasta. Make a meatball and penne pasta bake (and the recipe provided works a treat) but if you want to add a little of this or that it's fine.
It's about having fun and enjoying the process - with simple recipes that are bomb-proof first, and then encouraging the cook to enjoy the process.
What is the secret to casual cooking?
Keeping it simple, relevant, seasonal and easy in terms of steps - also dishes you can sort ahead to help make the cook relaxed, either for the family dinner or people coming over.
What changes have you seen in the way people cook and choose to eat over the years?
It's much more about shared food and eating more relaxed food - instead of the tablecloth, white plates and meat and three vege, you are more likely to be sitting at the kitchen table sharing a bowl of noodles.
Is there really such a thing as a good time in the kitchen?
Absolutely, it is to be encouraged - laughter, love and good times makes the food sing with joy.
What is your first memory of food?
My mother's stewed fruit with a little bit of cream. We were on a dairy farm so the cream was readily available.
As a child, what did you want to be when you grew up?
An airline hostess - please stop laughing!
Who was a major influence in your love of cooking?
My mother's kitchen - a wonderful learning centre full of aromas, tips, simmering savoury dishes and tins full of baking, and plenty of cups of tea and talking.
What is your secret ingredient?
Lemons - fresh lemon juice adds acidity and flavour to so many dishes. Try a squeeze in your pumpkin soup to see the difference it makes.
What is your favourite dish?
Crayfish salad or crab cakes.
In the cooking world, whom do you most admire?
Jamie Oliver, Gary Rhodes and Rick Stein are such a pleasure to watch. I also love Nigel Slater and still greatly admire, even though they are no longer with us, Julia Child and Robert Carrier.
What celebrity would you most like to cook for?
Michelle Obama - the conversation and the appreciation would be genuine and memorable.
Have you a guilty pleasure?
I love toast - seriously good toast I find hard to bypass. I can give up chocolate and icecream easily, but toast is wonderful.
What three New Zealand foods are at the top of your list?
Seafood, summer fruit and lamb.
Tell us three things about yourself people might not know or would be surprised to learn?
I may appear inebriated on television and radio but I hardly drink - one glass of wine and my face is so red you could fry an egg on it.
Soup is one of my favourite things to make and eat, and I have a major problem with people who forget to eat and refuse to cook.
To me it's all about giving and nurturing - two things we need to do more.

Beef stew improves if prepared a day ahead. The stew can be stored in the refrigerator, covered, for up to 3 days. When I was back in school (after I had children) I always prepared dinner the night before in the crockpot, as I wouldn't have time to make dinner when I got home.
- 2½ pounds boneless beef chuck, cut into 2-inch pieces -
- 2 cups dry red wine -
- 3 Tbsp olive oil (approximately) -
- 1 lb. mini red potatoes or 3 sweet potatoes, sliced -
- 2 medium leeks (white and light green parts only), thinly sliced -
- 2 medium carrots, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces -
- 4 garlic cloves, chopped -
- 1 celery stalk, cut into 1-inch pieces -
- 1 tsp dried rosemary -
- 2 tsp dried thyme -
- ½ cup all-purpose flour -
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper -
- 2 Tbsp tomato paste -
- 1 cup chicken stock -
1. Place the meat in a large, resealable plastic bag or a container with a tight-fitting lid. Pour in the wine, making sure that each piece of meat is submerged in the wine. Let the meat marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight.
2. Place 1 tablespoon of oil at the bottom of the crockpot. Add potatoes, leeks, carrots, garlic and celery to the slow cooker.
3. Combine the rosemary, thyme and flour in a large shallow plate. Pour the meat into a colander set over a large bowl and set aside the wine. Dry the meat on paper towels and generously season each piece with salt and pepper. Dredge the meat in the flour mixture and shake each piece to remove any excess flour.
4. Heat a large sauté pan over medium heat and lightly coat the pan with olive oil. Brown the meat on all sides, in batches if necessary, for about 6 minutes. Transfer the meat to the crockpot. Add about 1 cup reserved wine to the crockpot with the tomato paste and stir gently. Stir in chicken stock and season with salt and pepper.
5. Cook the stew for 2 hours on high and then 5 hours or more on low, until the meat is tender (the meat should be pierced easily).

I was just wandering about the image below. What exactly was Kakashi planning on doing with the Jutsu,orDoton: Doryuuheki !!. I mean understand if he used some sort of Fire Jutsu or Water Jutsu . But, this jutsu I just couldn't figure-out what he was planning here.Earth Element - Flowing Earth Wall
The only conclusion is that he was planning to corner Pain, you know block any path of escape. But, I could be wrong.
What do you all think.

TLN Top Twenty Prospects: No. 9 - Tyler Biggs
Cam Charron
September 03 2013 11:12AM
via Oshawa Generals
: Tyler Biggs
Position : Right Wing
Hometown : Loveland, Ohio
Size: 6'3, 234lbs
2013 Team: Oshawa Generals (OHL)
Acquired: Drafted, 1st Round, 22nd Overall in 2011
When Milan Lucic was 16, he was cut by the Junior A Coquitlam Express of the British Columbia Hockey League. By 19, Milan Lucic was in the National Hockey League and producing regularly.
This is how we get to Number Nine, Number Nine, Number Nine, Number Nine, in the Leafs prospect countdown, and look at the Maple Leafs' attempt to re-create Lucic, Tyler Biggs, a player they drafted with their first pick of the 2011 draft and has become a polarizing player indeed.
Last season, Milan Lucic was a healthy scratch for a game against the Pittsburgh Penguins. After going the first five years of his career averaging 21 goals per 82 games, Lucic stalled for whatever reason. He was still a physical force, hitting, taking penalties, and… well, he was hitting and taking penalties, but the goal-scoring was no longer there. He didn't have enough "hunger" or "emotion", I guess, and the team suffered from his continuous ability to take minor penalties and got none of the scoring for it.
The lesson here isn't that Milan Lucic is a terrible hockey player. He's unique in the sense that he's big and scores goals and fights and is some cross between nostalgia and an anachronism that reminds old school commentators of the good old days. But in the end, he's a hockey player, and how he produces matters above all else. When the production stops, the negatives become more apparent.
I guess we should start this off by saying that Biggs has limited offensive potential. Any offence he develops at this point would be a surprise. It's very uncommon for players that had difficulty producing in junior hockey to become point-producers in the NHL, and it's also very uncommon for players that had difficulty producing in junior to become everyday players. Jay McClement scored 30 goals in his draft year and David Bolland scored 37 in his. Even Colby Armstrong was a point a game player in the two years after he was drafted.
We've covered these issues before with Biggs. This prospect profile is a redundancy, as I've covered reasons to be very bearish on offensive projections for Tyler Biggs earlier in the summer. Every OHL forward selected after Biggs in the 2011 NHL Draft put up more points than Biggs until Austen Brassard at 149 overall.
Biggs, however, is ranked in our Top Ten for a myriad of reasons. I like his potential to fit into a non-scoring role. Justin Fisher likes his potential to be an effective penalty killer and a shutdown guy. In talking to Hockey Prospectus prospect guru Corey Pronman about Biggs' improvement this past season, he specifically mentioned "defence". Most of us ranked Biggs over skilled players, as Justin notes, because Biggs has a legitimate chance to make the NHL, and that usually indicates a "win".
1st round picks have a better chance at making the NHL than 2nd round picks and 3rd round picks, but after about the 22nd or 23rd pick, there's a steep drop-off in the amount of games you can expect a player to play at the NHL level. In hockey, it's easy to pick out the best players from a crowd and when you look back years later, in most cases the player taken first overall becomes the best player taken in the draft, from Steven Stamkos to Patrick Kane to Sidney Crosby to Rick Nash. Biggs was ranked a little bit lower, and he becomes an easy player to like if you believe that a big player can impose his physical will over little defenders, and if you believe in the power of potential.
But after a tough year offensively for the University of Miami of Ohio in 2012, he packed his bags and joined the Oshawa Generals after signing his entry-level deal with the Leafs. Despite some time on the first line, Biggs managed below a point-a-game, scoring 53 points in 60 games, which is very low for a 19-year-old in that particular league. Biggs did score a goal in his five pro games with the Toronto Marlies, and how he adjusts to pro this season is going to be an important part in establishing just who he is.
He draws comparisons to Lucic a lot. Tyler Biggs compares himself to Lucic. Fantasy writers and fans both need to drop hints about Lucic when writing about Biggs. But he's not Lucic, and when Lucic was drafted by the Bruins and surprised everybody by becoming an NHL less than two years later, he wasn't projected to be "the next anything". He was just a big, solid kid whose game evolved offensively because size alone wasn't good enough to make the NHL.
Biggs is Number Nine. He is good at defence and penalty-killing and has some potential to be a solid puck-possession player but he needs to develop his offensive game to be a plus-player in the NHL.

For all the hate Biggs gets (some even from leafs nation) - he still somehow is voted 9th best leaf prospect. How do these anti-Biggs folks have any credibility? Actually how does anyone have credibility. One moment Biggs is the worst then he is a top 10 prospect.
Between what I read here and on PPP site, I think all this advanced stats and analysis is simply propaganda to make math whiz kidz feel smart.

For all the hate Biggs gets (some even from leafs nation) - he still somehow is voted 9th best leaf prospect. How do these anti-Biggs folks have any credibility? Actually how does anyone have credibility. One moment Biggs is the worst then he is a top 10 prospect.
Between what I read here and on PPP site, I think all this advanced stats and analysis is simply propaganda to make math whiz kidz feel smart.
First off, being the 9th best prospect isn't necessarily an enormous accomplishment. I don't think many around here have (with conviction) stated that Tyler Biggs is the worst prospect in the organization, but there's a lot to be concerned about too.
Biggs was drafted in the first round, a pick which required Toronto to move significant assets to move up and get him. Following that, Biggs had an underwhelming season with Miami in the NCAA, then followed that up with an underwhelming season with Oshawa in the OHL.
Yes, we ranked him 9th. The issue is that Biggs should be much higher, but hasn't lived up to expectations.
Lastly, I can't say I've seen a tremendous amount of 'advanced stats' applied to Biggs in particular. The numbers needed to really get advanced with Biggs' play just aren't readily available. There's been some, but not a whole lot of truly advanced stuff has been going on. So, I don't know what that has to do with it.
September 04 2013, 08:00PM
Good analysis. I'm glad you go the Lucic thing out of the way. I am also glad you mentioned the name Jay McClement. I think Biggs will turn out to be a bigger, tougher version of Jay McClement.
Biggs won't get that many goals but will play a good defensive game. Biggs has already played that role against the best of his age group at the World Juniors.
Biggs won't be another Lucic, but in a few years with that big body, he could be a guy that shuts down Lucic.

Summertime and the livin's easy
Wednesday, April 09, 2014
When you think of summer, what are some things that pop into your head? Sunshine? Tanning? Hanging with friends? What about not showering for 10 days at a time? Living outside? Or even the forearm muscles of a champion? If you spend a summer doing trail work, option B will comprise your summer much more accurately. The summer after my freshman year of college, I decided that I wanted to do something different, something that would put me out of my comfort zone. I worked for the Southwest Conservation Corps (SCC) and blazed trails throughout the Southwest area.

A Mt. Juliet Police Department officer is on administrative leave after shooting a man who pointed a gun at officers and an innocent bystander Saturday.
According to a Mt. Juliet Police Department press release, around 2:30 a.m., Mt. Juliet Police officers responded to a dispatched call of a man threatening to kill himself at a Mt. Juliet home in the 700 block of Stonegate Drive. Officers arrived on the scene and established a safety perimeter around the home.
Shortly thereafter, a 56 year-old male subject exited his home carrying a handgun. The subject quickly raised and pointed the gun in the direction of police officers and a bystander. One of the officers responded by firing upon the subject who was hit by the officer's gunfire during the encounter. The subject was transported to Vanderbilt University Medical Center where he is being treated for injuries sustained during the shooting.
During the incident, there were two adult female family members and one male child in the home. They were not aware of the incident until notified by police officers. No one else was injured during this incident.
"This is certainly a traumatic event for the injured subject, his family, and the officers involved. Our thoughts and prayers are extended for a quick recovery," stated Mt. Juliet Police Chief James Hambrick, "Police officers can go through their entire career and never be involved in this type of incident. This is one of the most difficult things an officer has to do."
As with all officer-involved shootings, the investigation is being conducted by the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation. The officer involved will be on administrative leave pending the TBI's investigation, which is also normal protocol.

Hello Daniel Petri, I used Py2Exe. I had some troubles with the pygame transform module on cxfreeze and Py2Exe, after changing some code My executable worked fine
the .py file works for Python 3 And Python 2 ( just tested it with python 2.7.x ;] )
Btw, Pynesia works fullscreen but i forgot to do it in the executable for windows
Thanks for the motivation.

Your Top 3 Shows of the Past Year
(photo: "Antony Gormley: Olympic Podium" by threefishsleeping/Flickr)
Our company's marketing folks have asked us to put together a compilation CD featuring material from the past 12 months. This CD will be used to give to public-radio programming directors who are not familiar with the program, as well as to potential funders, and for other marketing uses.
Rather than some edited compilation, we're thinking of putting together the first half of three separate programs on the CD (each half being about 25 minutes). That way, we can showcase the depth, intimacy and storytelling we aim for. The other criteria? The shows must have been produced in the past year.
Choices, choices… It would be wonderful to highlight our Peabody Award-winning Rumi show. I'm also fond, myself, of the Mathematics show, the Architecture show, and the Jean Vanier show (yes, Jean Vanier is his own subject). Oh, and Heschel.
Three programs, 12 months, one CD — what are your three picks? (Our 2007 and 2008 archives, for reference.)

Why don't more people read these mangas?
A month ago I wouldn't have been caught dead reading a shoujo manga. I'd read Berserk, listen to some heavy metal, and lift weights to increase my killing strength. I maintained this lifestyle by selling surplusses from my proposterous amounts of testosterone to the guys who made 'Powerthirst', and even gave a few pro-tips to Chuck Norris regarding 'how to be a man'.
However, recently I seem to have lost my menergy... in the past month, I have undergone a romance manga addiction. Following my exposure to Love Hina, Negima, Ichigo 100%, and I"s... with no healthy Shonen romances left to turn to, like a crackwhore on steroids (possibly NOT a simile), I turned to Bitter Virgin, Midnight Secretary, Fruits Basket, Vampire Knight, Desire Climax, Boku ni Natta Watashi, and Skip Beat. I can safely say that I have never been as involved with a manga as I was with Ichigo 100% or Skip Beat, at least not since Berserk went on hiatus; I read both series in 2 sittings, stopping only to eat, sleep, and take care of my body's base needs.
I don't know what to believe in anymore. My entire life feels like it's closing in around me in the form of cute schoolgirls and cute schoolgirl-ish men. I'm living in an endless web of addiction to a manga form that destroys my very mojo; every time I finish a series or run out of chapters, I become aggrivated, reckless, and fixated on killing, like a shark swimming in a small tank full of electric eels, itching to tear apart the laughing scientists taking notes above. I shall stain their white lab coats and clipboards red with blood if there is not more Skip Beat produced, and NOW!
To conclude, I guess what I'm getting at is that there's nothing wrong with Shoujo. I think in a way, Fruits Basket is just like Gantz.
I was depressed over Toujo not being picked by Manaka in Ichigo 100% for over a week, and still feel tears well up whenever I think about her misfortune... every chance she got, something ruined it. Like anyone else who read that series, I decided the best thing to do would be to make an AMV in which I sync'd some famous shonen romance/harem animes to Slayer's "Raining Blood" and edited it to make it look like Guts was slaughtering them all... luckily before I did all that, I found Elfen Lied, and was satisfied with that. In fact, there are several good Elfen Lied/"Raining Blood" AMVs on Youtube.
lol, I wasn't "that manly" giving chuck noris advice, but I had a similar problem... however, I skipped the shounen romance steps
this thread is almost a year old...
anyway personally i won't read them. its not a masculine thing i just dont find them appealing

Gameday Preview: Tactics? We don't need no stinkin' tactics
Robert Cleave
December 20 2010 07:52AM
The games in a NHL season can really run together at this time of the year for a mediocre team. Nothing seems fresh or worthwhile, and that's about how I feel going into tonight's visit by the Flames to the Twin Cities. That boredom is hard to overcome, but if nothing else this less than entertaining little skein of affairs between Minnesota and Calgary has opened a bit of a window on how both coaches see their teams.
From a Wild perspective, it's been interesting to watch Todd Richards manipulate his roster to get matchups against the weak 3rd pair and bottom six of Calgary's line up. As Kent pointed out in his review of the chances from Saturday, Richards tried to get Koivu out in spots where he could work on the Pardy/Babchuk pairing, managing that move with some success, at least on the scoreboard.
What's notable about that juggling on Richards' part is that he feels compelled to move Koivu away from the matchup Brent Sutter appears to want, based on the EV ice time numbers in the two Calgary home games the clubs have played. Sutter has used Olli Jokinen in some pretty heavy doses against the Wild's top man when he's had last change, and the results, at least in terms controlling offense from that line, are of some interest. Jokinen has played about 19 minutes of EV time against Koivu in the two home games and the combined chances were 4-3 for Jokinen's line, with none against just over 8 minutes Saturday night. Richards doesn't exactly hunt for Joker with his captain when the two clubs play in Minnesota, since the two Finns have played head to head for only 8 minutes combined at Xcel, so that will be a matter of interest to me this evening with Richards having last change.
With the two clubs playing back to back, there isn't much more to add on. Minnesota might kill the Flames off with a win this evening, so one might hope that with Saturday's sleeper fresh in the memory banks, the red team might find it useful to open strongly. It's not something we've seen much of this year, but if the Flames plan on making anything at all of this season, this is about as close as you can come to a must win in December.
Well, I think at this point what I'm hoping for is a loss. With a loss at least everything should be clear on the state of this season. Which of course means that a win is inevitable. When i say clear I don't mean to me, or others that follow the team, but to the upper management. A loss almost certainly eliminates them from the playoffs. Not mathematically but you get the picture.
Being eliminated from the playoffs in December should send a very strong message to senior management and the ownership group. It's christmas. so let Darryl celebrate christmas with his family and have a job, then it's time to move on.
Thank you for your services, they were appreciated.
December 20 2010, 09:19AM
It'll be interesting to see how Minny runs things with the last change tonight (although monitoring that stuff from the couch is a lot tougher than live).
Well I think it depends on who the Flames ice really. That's the big wild card here (no pun intended).
i would suspect Koivu isn't going to see a great deal of Bouwmeester and Regher or the captain for that matter.
December 20 2010, 10:10AM
I'm guessing Glencross gets back in tonight. Kotalik is my guess for the healthy scratch, but who knows at this point. Backlund might get the stink eye too.
I'd like to see Moss, Conroy and Glencross re-united frankly.
December 20 2010, 10:28AM
Put the Glencross back in, watch him score a hat trick and cue the game that starts the turn around. On the bright side....atleast the hockey has been exciting. I always like it when Flames play Minny it's always a technical chess match with lots of up and down action.....go flames go
According to Roger Millions, conroy and glencross are in, backlund and kotalik are out
December 20 2010, 10:46AM
Glencross and Moss always had chemistry. As did Moss, Glencross and Conroy. That said, Jackman has earned ice-time. Moss centering Glencross and Jackman may produce points.
I agree that Kotalik may sit, as he didn't get a lot of minutes Saturday evening.
All that said... the Flames are running out of time. We all know this. If we lose this evening... and do not achieve .500 by Christmas... I wonder what happens? Will there be a radical shake up?? Or status quo???
December 20 2010, 11:02AM
I'm guessing Glencross gets back in tonight. Kotalik is my guess for the healthy scratch, but who knows at this point. Backlund might get the stink eye too.
I'd like to see Moss, Conroy and Glencross re-united frankly.
logic suggests kotalik sits but then again logic would have suggested kotalik should have never been a flame. the importance of this game cannot be overstated, a win is critical. lose and you might want to start booking tee times.

it'll be erven more interesting to see how butter counters and adjusts to minny's exploitations of badchuck and pardy. the first move butter should make is to break up the pairing.who gets the start in goal? kippa or kung foo karl sun.

Consider these facts about victims of violence in the United States:
The statistics on violent deaths tell only part of the story, though. Many more men survive violence and are left with permanent physical and emotional scars. Violence can do terrible damage to a man's work, his health, his family, and his whole community.
Violence against anyone, in any form, is a crime, no matter who committed the violent act. It is always wrong, whether the abuser is a family member, a current or past spouse, a friend, or a stranger.
Many people don't talk about the fact that men are sometimes victims of intimate partner violence (also known as domestic violence). Men may feel uncomfortable reporting it. But if you have been attacked, remember that you are not at fault, and you do not deserve to be hurt.
If you have been sexually, physically, or emotionally abused, seek help. You could turn to family members, friends, or religious or community organizations. Talk with a doctor, especially if you have been physically hurt. Talk with a counselor to help deal with your emotional pain. And if you know someone who is being hurt, work to get that person help.
Maybe you abuse somebody you love. Perhaps you lash out physically at others when angry. If you want to stop the cycle of violence in your life, talk to your doctor. Your doctor can help you find a mental health professional, who can help you deal with your problem. You also can find mental health services near you by using the Mental Health Services Locator.
Violence among men can start young. In 2009, for example, nearly 4 out of 10 high school boys had been in a fight during the past year — almost twice as many as girls. You can do your part to stop violence by being a good role model to the young men in your life. Many young men want advice on how to deal with conflict and behave in relationships, but may not know how to ask for your help. Whether you are a father, coach, teacher, uncle, older brother, or mentor, you can make a real difference in boys' lives. Teach them to reject violence and to choose respect. Share your own experiences and what you've learned.
Womenshealth.gov's section on violence against women will provide you with information on dating and sexual violence, stalking, and elder abuse, including specific resources on how to get help.

The Division of Wildlife Resources is offering a reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person or persons responsible for illegally taking a bull elk on Danish Bench by the Huntington Power Plant in central Utah.
The bull was apparently shot during the antlerless elk hunt in December or January. The head and antlers were sawed off and the rest of the bull was left to rot.
Depending on the information received, the reward may be as high as $1,000 or a Central Mountains, Manti mature bull elk permit.
Conservation Officer Kip Draper in Emery County is leading the investigation.
He is asking that anyone, having knowledge of this poaching incident, call him on his cell phone (435-749-1492) or at the Division of Wildlife Resources office in Price (435-636-0260).

The Division of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation treats and monitors infants, children, and teens at all stages of inpatient and outpatient rehabilitative care. Specialists provide acute care for patients at Children's National Health System as well as sub-acute and post-acute care at HSC Pediatric Center in Washington, DC, and pediatric inpatient care at MedStar National Rehabilitation Hospital, located next to Children's National.
Children's presence at all three health systems distinguishes our rehabilitative services from other programs around the country by ensuring a continuum of care with Children's doctors and health team members who know a child's medical history and special needs.
Our goal is to help every child reach the highest level of physical, cognitive, and social functioning possible - letting kids be kids and enjoy their childhood. When your child has a disability or injury, it is important to find specialists who understand how these conditions affect a child who is still growing physically and developing neurologically. For children with more complex disorders or illnesses, division experts can coordinate treatment and condition management with pediatric professionals in more than 40 disciplines at Children's National.
We provide state-of-the art diagnostic evaluations and comprehensive rehabilitation services for neurological conditions, traumatic injuries, and congenital physical disabilities, including:
In addition to the division's pediatric physiatrists, physicians who specialize in rehabilitation, the multidisciplinary team includes experts in the following areas:
As a children's hospital, we have the resources and knowledge to promote age-appropriate life skills for optimal growth and development, from daily living skills to play - a kids most important job. Our physical and occupational therapists have advanced training and certifications in a variety of pediatric rehabilitation therapies:
Recognized for our expertise, we care for many of the region's most medically complex patients. The division established comprehensive clinics to meet the unique needs of these patients and their families, including:
Please arrive at least 15 minutes before your appointment to complete registration at our reception desk. If you are more than 15 minutes late for your appointment, you may need to reschedule. If you are willing to wait, we will do our best to fit your child's appointment into the day's schedule. If you are more than 30 minutes late, your appointment will probably need to be rescheduled.
If you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment, please call us three days (72 hours) in advance at 202-476-3094.

Initiative to Explore Ryan White Funding of Services for Uninsured, Underinsured
Initiative to Explore Ryan White Funding of Services for Uninsured, Underinsured
HRSA/HAB is exploring ways to gather information that will provide a better understanding of how the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program provides essential services to uninsured and underinsured clients and how the program's role may be changing within the context of the ACA.
The first component is a survey called "Understanding and Monitoring Funding Streams in Ryan White Clinics," which was sent to a sampling of Ryan White Part C and D grantees to identify what types of core medical and support services are currently not fully covered (or covered at all) by Medicaid, Medicare, and private insurance. The survey also captures information on how grantees track changes in insurance coverage and the cost of care. The survey was completed in June 2014 and data are being analyzed.
- Download the survey instrument.
- Contact Imogen Fua to learn more.
This initiative also developed a Ryan White Services Tracker, a tool that supports grantees in examining data on how their HIV/AIDS services are funded. The Tracker will accept import files from CAREWare and ARIES, and an "open" version accept files in a pre-defined format. Contact Ellie Coombs or attend a webinar on June 27, 2014 at 2:00 ET to learn more.
This initiative is being carried out by HRSA/HAB partners Walter R. McDonald & Associates (WRMA) and Mission Analytics Group.

The most chic evening shoe!
"This show is soooo amazing! I want it in every color!! It is seriously comfortable, too - that is, for as high and slim of a heel as it has. I got the black pair, but want it in the silver and gold, too! The heel is just the right amount of height to be comfortable enough for dancing all night and give you enough height to be eye to eye with others. I wore them all four nights of a cruise that I went on and danced the night away. The toes did get a little scuffed - the toes are fabric and the fabric did get little tears in it, but a black permanent sharpie cleared that up. For the price, these evening shoes are seriously fashionable and chic. And super comfortable!"

Yes, I think it's Okay
No, It's too distracting
The game will die down every now and again anyways Bee. Besides don't knock it til you've tried it, I for one would be rolling if after this thread I ended up being Trolled by you. You might be surprised how funny you find it swell.
Besides the hole in the trolling department left by HB's absence and Cal's lurker status can't be filled by one of us so we needed to band together to plug the hole.
Step 1. Troll
Step 2. ?????
Step 3. Profit
Edit: I should really take Cal out of this post, I've already got one dickriding quote in his sig :S
If it is gonna go it should at least be buried in the Hall Of Fame.

Yeah it's annoying now. I don't click anything anymore. Even if it goes to the notable thread section, people can still covertly redirect you there. I say delete it and don't look back. It's like the whole rick roll thing..annoying. Find the youtube video and you'll see that it hasn't died down even today.
Stop the trolling or praise Tim for this piece of genius?
Either way I'm still going to punish Uzumaki_Tim. Be outside your frontdoor at 2am. And wear something loose fitting.
EDIT: DFX is right. Since its a legit forum game and as long as the posts are on topic there really isn't much we can do. Or personally that I'd want to do. Just as long as people aren't being redirected off site.
Troll Tagged by Uzumaki_Tim
Honestly, the fun's gone when we mask links because that's unstoppable. If we're gonna fix something at least disallow people to mask links for the forum trolling gag. To a point, it trains people to watch the links they're clicking.
I liked how certain people set-up their links so that you unconsciously click them (like Jaiden's multiple links with the 2nd one being a troll one).

Seemed an ok game to me. But if a majority finds it annoying, I guess we'll close it. Let's just try not to overdo it with putting the troll links up, then it should be fine.

Ship Weight:1.30 Aveeno Active Naturals Fragrance Free Daily Moisturizing Lotion - 18 oz. (532 ml) Aveeno Active Naturals Fragrance Free Daily Moisturizing Lotion is a naturally nourishing lotion. Aveeno Active Naturals Fragrance Free Daily Moisturizing Lotion contains Natural Colloidal Oatmeal blended with rich emollients and is now proven to help skin build a "moisture reserve," so skin can replenish itself. Aveeno Active Naturals Fragrance Free Daily Moisturizing Lotion's fast-absorbing formula helps prevent and protect dry skin, leaving it feeling soft, smooth and naturally healthy looking. Aveeno Active Naturals Fragrance Free Daily Moisturizing Lotion is fragrance free, non-greasy, noncomedogenic and gentle enough for everyday use - good for sensitive skin. Aveeno Active Naturals Fragrance Free Daily Moisturizing Lotion Features and Benefits: Dermatologist Recommended Dimethicone Skin Protectant Clinically Proven to Relieve Dry Skin Moisturizes for 24 hours Fragrance Free Skin-Soothing Natural Colloidal Oatmeal The Beauty of Nature + Science The Natural Colloidal Oatmeal found in Aveeno helps to leave a protective barrier, which prevents water loss to help maintain moisture all day long. The Aveeno oatmeal formulas are also known to soothe and moisturize itchy, extra dry skin. What Oats Do Oats have a long history of being valued for skin care, dating back to the ancient Greeks and Romans who used oat baths to heal skin ailments. Aveeno products harness the power of oats to allow them to moisturize and relieve dryness and soothe itchy, irritated skin. How Oats Work The scientists at Aveeno use finely milled oatmeal, known as colloidal oatmeal. Fine milling allows the colloidal oatmeal to retain its naturally active benefits in formulas, which were clinically shown to help moisturize and relieve dry skin. Before and After After two weeks of using a skin protectant lotion containing triple oat, dramatic visible improvements were seen in skin textural properties such as dryness and flaking. Discover the Science of Active Naturals Ingredients Active Naturals ingredients are carefully selected from nature and uniquely formulated by Aveeno through the power of science to deliver visible benefits for skin and hair. Aveeno Active Naturals are ingredients derived from nature and uniquely formulated to reveal skin's natural health and beauty. Aveeno's History The unique story of Aveeno began back in 1945, with Albert and Sidney Musher and the introduction of Soothing Bath Treatment. The Musher brothers were driven by a profound curiosity about how things work and how substances interact and a belief that centuries-old remedies hold the promise for human wellness. In conjunction with the Mayo Clinic, the Musher brothers' experimentation with raw cereals led to the discovery of a natural bath additive containing 100% colloidal oatmeal ("colloidal" means milled to an ultra-fine powder), known for its natural ability to hold in moisture and relieve dry, irritated skin. And so was the birth of Soothing Bath Treatment and the Aveeno brand. In fact, the Mayo Clinic was the Brand's first customer. Throughout the years, Aveeno has continued this story of discovery and passion for unlocking the power of nature through scientific advances to benefit humankind. Aveeno, the leader in Active Naturals, continues to develop breakthrough product formulations with new and existing natural ingredients, many that are clinically proven to deliver real skin care benefits leaving you with healthier-looking, beautiful skin. No wonder Aveeno has been endorsed and recommended by dermatologists and pediatricians for over 60 years and is the brand trusted most by dermatologists for the efficacy and safety of its natural ingredients. Beautiful Products, Inside and Out Given the Aveeno brand's use of natural ingredients and their commitment to always providing the best quality products, it's no wonder Aveeno cares so much about how their products impact the Earth. Aveeno's dedication to this global effort has continued for over 60 years, but there is still so much more to be done. Take Action Now All Aveeno High-Density PolyEthylene (HDPE) bottles and paper packaging are recyclable, and, where possible, Aveeno use a percentage of Post-Consumer Recycled Material (or PCR) when creating their products and in-store materials. When you purchase and recycle Aveeno products, you complete the circle. Together you can lessen the impact packaging has on the planet. Where to Recycle Recycling may be limited in certain areas. The Recycling Center website can help you find out more about your municipality's recycling policies and help you locate your nearest recycling center. What Does it Mean to be an Active Natural? Just as Aveeno's true Active Naturals potential is unlocked in their products, you can unlock your potential to improve the health, beauty and wellness of your community. Together your small steps can make a big impact. Making A More Beautiful Future As part of the Johnson & Johnson family, Aveeno shares company-wide initiatives and clear-cut goals for reducing their carbon footprint. Aveeno even has dedicated teams working full-time to make sure these goals become a reality. Here are some of the steps they're taking: Clean Energy - Johnson & Johnson is the second largest corporate user of on-site solar power. In 2007, Johnson & Johnson cut the ribbon on its ninth and largest solar facility in Vacaville, California. More than 5,700 ground-mounted solar panels span six and a half acres. With the sun shining, the solar field provides up to a third of the electrical power needed to run the site. You can expect to see more of these facilities in the future. Research - Johnson & Johnson has won the Environmental Protection Agency Green Power Partnership Award for six years. From producing better boxes and bottles to generating solar energy and working in buildings powered with clean energy, Aveeno's company is always looking for more ways to reduce our environmental impact. Stay tuned for more to come! Incorporating more PCR materials into Aveeno's product packaging and reducing the amount of packaging they use per product are just a few of many ways Aveeno is attempting to lessen their impact on the planet. So whether you're using Aveeno Baby, Facial, Body, Sun, or Hair Care products, you can rest assured you're doing the right thing for the environment. A joint commitment will see us through to a brighter, more sustainable future.

Welcome! This website is produced and maintained by the Education, Interpretation, and Partnerships Division of the Bureau of Land Management (commonly called BLM). It presents learning opportunities associated with the 245 million acres of public lands that BLM manages for all Americans. We have gathered information for students, teachers, and learners of all ages to use both in the classroom, in informal outdoor settings, or in "virtual" classrooms. We have included resources from many of our field offices located mostly in the Western United States. Explore this site and send us your comments, questions, and suggestions for improvement.
Public lands managed by the BLM provide exceptional formal and informal education and engagement opportunities for students, 'lifetime learners,' and the general public. By highlighting a small number of the BLM's outstanding programs for youths and adults, the 2010 report From Childhood Exploration to Conservation Leadership: An Update on BLM Education, Engagement, and Youth Employment Programs offers readers a sense of the superb variety of BLM offerings in the areas of education, interpretation, and youth involvement.
About the Bureau of Land Management
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM), an agency of the U.S. Department of the Interior, manages 245 million acres of public lands—more than any other Federal agency. These lands are located primarily in 12 Western States, including Alaska. BLM also manages the oil, gas, and minerals on an additional 700 million acres of subsurface estate throughout the nation.
The public lands under BLM management represent diverse ecosystems and are rich in natural and cultural resources, which belong to all Americans. These open spaces once were valued primarily for their commercial value—such as minerals, oil and gas, timber, or livestock forage. Today, they are increasingly recognized for their open spaces, recreation opportunities, native wildlife and plants, and historical and archaeological resources. The challenge for land managers at BLM today is to accommodate competing interests while sustaining the health of the land.HistoryBLM was created in 1946 with the merger of the Grazing Service and the General Land Office. Congress created the General Land Office in the Department of Commerce in 1812 to oversee land surveys and title transfers. The Taylor Grazing Act of 1934 established the U.S. Grazing Service to manage the public rangelands.
When BLM was created, there were over 2,000 unrelated and often conflicting laws for managing the public lands. In 1976, Congress passed the Federal Land Policy and Management Act (FLPMA), providing the agency with its first unified legislative mandate. With FLPMA, Congress recognized the value of the public lands and declared they would be managed for "multiple use," to be used "in the combination that will best meet the present and future needs of the American people."BLM TodayThe public lands today are managed for a variety of uses. BLM-managed lands typically generate some $5 billion each year in revenues from mineral leasing, timber sales, grazing fees, and recreation, and other use fees. But public land values are not measured merely in terms of dollars.
For example, the public lands contain priceless archaeological and historic sites that represent the tangible remains of at least 13,000 years of human habitation of the land. Although only a small percentage of the public lands have been surveyed, more than 4,400 BLM properties are listed on the National Register of Historic Places, in 408 separate listings. The BLM has responsibility for 19 National Historic Landmarks and 5 World Heritage Sites. In addition, many of the most famous fossils ever discovered come from the public lands. Evidence of past life on earth, many of these national treasures are now in America's museums, including such well-known creatures as Tyrannosaurus, Allosaurus, and Apatosaurus.
Much of the land under BLM management is rangeland, generally characterized by thin soils and low annual precipitation. Past unregulated livestock grazing and 19th-century land-use practices have taken a toll on rangeland health. BLM is working with States, Tribes, local governments, and a host of private organizations and community groups to restore and maintain the health of these lands.
Rights-of-way are another important use of public lands. BLM conducts thousands of reviews each year to consider proposals for mining, filming, grazing, rights-of-way, the use of off-road vehicles, and other uses. The agency may attach special conditions in approving rights-of-way applications that will improve landscape health. These conditions are determined primarily through an environmental review process called for by the National Environmental Policy Act.
The Bureau of Land Management has established the National Landscape Conservation System (NLCS) to help protect some of the nation's most remarkable and rugged landscapes. The system includes the agency's National Monuments, National Conservation Areas, Wilderness Areas, Wilderness Study Areas, Wild and Scenic Rivers, and National Scenic and Historic Trails as well as other areas designated for important scientific and ecological characteristics. BLM works collaboratively with local communities, States, and other partners on management of these special areas.
One of BLM's objectives is to seek input from all those who use and value the public lands as the agency determines how the public lands should be managed. An important component of this cooperative approach is the 24 Resource Advisory Councils located throughout the West, which provide citizen recommendations about managing public land resources. Originally established in 1995 to help develop standards for healthy rangelands, these councils are now turning their attention to a variety of other land use issues.
BLM also plays an important role in managing the nation's critical resources, including 143,000 miles of riparian-lined streams and 13 million acres of wetlands. Riparian areas are the "green zones" or transition areas between where vegetation is permanently saturated (wetlands) and upland areas. These lands are adjacent to creeks, streams, lakes, and rivers. Although riparian areas and wetlands represent only about 9 percent of the public lands, they provide important habitat for wildlife and fish, they are critical to water quality and ranching, and they provide valuable recreation experiences for millions of Americans. For these and many other reasons, BLM places a high priority on the ecological health of riparian areas and they receive special management attention.
The spread of invasive and noxious weeds presents a major challenge to BLM land managers. Weeds are spreading at an estimated rate of about 4,300 acres per day on public lands alone. Invasions of yellow starthistle, leafy spurge, spotted knapweed, and dozens of other weed species are causing severe and often permanent land degradation in thousands of watersheds. A variety of control and management methods can be effective, but early detection, rapid response, and working with local communities to prevent weed spread and control new infestations are the most cost-effective solutions.
BLM plays a vital role in managing wild horses and burros, which, for many, are symbols of the West. Some 33,000 wild horses and burros roam public lands; more than 30,000 "excess" animals are fed and cared for at short- and long-term holding facilities. The agency monitors rangeland health and wild horse herds to help determine the number of animals the land can sustain. In addition to removing wild horses and burros and placing them in holding facilities, BLM keeps populations in check through fertility control and by offering excess animals for adoption to qualified people.
An increasingly important BLM responsibility is fire management. The National Interagency Fire Center in Boise, ID, plays a key role in protecting all public lands. BLM and a number of other agencies have pooled resources to respond to fire emergencies. The Center's fire management policies recognize the beneficial role fire plays in the ecosystem.
BLM employs about 10,000 paid professionals and enlists the support of some 25,000 volunteers.
Offices include a national office in Washington, D.C., and more than 150 state and field offices. Although most of the land under BLM management is in the West, the agency manages scattered parcels of land in the East. In addition, the agency maintains more than 9 million General Land Office records dating back to 1787 and provides land surveying services for other federal agencies.

Awesome! Dan will have you in fits of laughter from beginning to end with his stand-up comedy regarding everyday events & mishaps also backed up by some of his peculiar & funnily written tunes! Very witty & seeing Dan in the flesh was just as refreshing as on the tv screen! A definite 'must see'! Come back to Cardiff! Dan is the man!

Love the black~
"I purchased the nude originally in my size and had to return to store for being a little too large. Found the black version in store and a half size smaller and they are perfect. Can be dressed up or down, they work with dress slacks, dresses or jeans. Very happy with purchase, wish they had more exciting colors."

Chinese Laundry Mix Up Wedge Sandal
"This shoe runs a bit short. I ordered 7.5 but could have been more comfortable with an 8. Overall, the shoe is comfortable and looksgreat with any outfit."
