Comfortable shoe
"These shoes are very cushy, comfortable. I bought them about a week ago and have used them for my workouts (running on a treadmill/workout videos) and the shoes are great. They fit just right (I wear a size 8M). I would buy again."

love the colors, seem comfy
"I bought these sneakers because of the great reviews they have on other websites (amazon), there were not many on dsw. They were recommended for their cushioning and indeed they seem to have plenty of support. I haven't worn them to the gym yet as I just received them. Word of caution - these are listed as cross-trainers and the sole looks on the pictures as if it is flat as normally cross-trainers are (not having much tread), in reality, they are not that flat - maybe the side pictures kind of suggest that, but you can't tell from the bottom picture...so we'll see what activities they would be good for."

"I love this brand as a whole, but these shoes are extra special with the cushioned inserts and PERFECT walking shoes. Taking them to Disneyworld on our next trip and they'll be broken in just right!! ;-)"

* 1 tbsp. milk or cream
* 2 tbsp. dark chocolate (Callebaut Callets 811NV) or
* 2 tbsp. milk chocolate (Callebaut Callets 823NV) or
* 2 tbsp. white chocolate (Callebaut Callets WNV or W2NV)
Put the chocolate with 1 tablespoon of milk (or cream for a softer, creamier sauce) in a small sauce jug.
Place in the microwave for 10 seconds on 800W. Stir briskly, heat again in the microwave for 10 seconds, a final stir and... it's ready!
Serve separately in the sauce jug with waffles, pancakes, ice cream...
* 100g cream (40%)
* 20g butter
Depending on the type of sauce you wish to make you may choose between:
* 80g dark chocolate (Callebaut 811NV) or
* 100g milk chocolate (Callebaut 823NV) or
* 100g white chocolate (Callebaut WNV of W2NV) or
* 100g Callebaut ORANGE or Callebaut STRAWBERRY or Callebaut LEMON coloured coating or
* 100g Callebaut CARAMEL flavoured chocolate.
Bring the cream to the boil and remove from the heat.
Melt the chocolate pieces into the cream and finish with a knob of butter.
Serve immediately with waffles, pancakes, fruit desserts and mousses, or keep warm in a bain marie. A brief re-heating in the microwave is also possible!
For cold sauces you can use exactly the same ingredients in the same proportions as for the hot sauces above, but increase the quantity of cream by 40% (100g cream becomes 140g).
Follow the same method as for the hot sauces above.
Refrigerate the sauce, and serve with fruit desserts, mousses, ices... Also delicious as a cool contrast with hot desserts and snacks like pancakes, waffles or warm chocolate cake.
Callebaut's Creme a la Carte range offers a group of products based on white chocolate, cream and alcohol. They include: Basic (neutral), Cointreau, Marc de Champagne and Tia-Coffee.
They need only gentle heating (to a maximum of 29°C) to be ready to serve with a dessert.
Other possibilities:
Naturally Callebaut's wide range of other products offer infinite possibilities for sauce preparations for desserts and in the kitchen generally: we offer gianduja chocolate, nut pastes with hazelnut and almond...

A solar eclipse occurs when the moon passes directly between the Earth and the sun. However, the moon does not always block out the entire sun.
The loud roar of passing thunderstorms and other loud noises can spark fear in many animals, causing extreme anxiety not only for pets, but also their owners who must manage this stress.

But the problem is "Majin's have a different understanding about Humans, they strongly believe that the Human Race are far more superior than Majin's in every sort of way, but in fact it is the other way around.
How would Luchiru survive in the Human World where he has different point of views on the strength of Human that he Strongly believe that just a touch would make him combust and be disintegrated in an instant?!

Getting Started
Install Software on Your Computer:
Depending on your personal computer operating system (Windows, Mac OS X, Linux), you might need additional connection software such as Remote Desktop Connection.
- Windows - Remote Desktop Connection is included in Windows XP, Vista, and 7.
- Mac OS X - Remote Desktop Connection can be downloaded from Mactopia:
- Linux/Unix - Although Microsoft does not provide a client for these operating systems, the open source community has developed rdesktop. Most modern distro's include this package. If not, the tool can be downloaded from the rdesktop web site:
First Reservation:
First time users of the Virtual Computing Lab should reserve a machine for the purpose of making sure it works properly with their computer. Don't wait until the day before an assignment is due to become familiar with this new tool. It does not take long: 10-30 minutes depending on your knowledge of remote desktop technologies. Always test the waters first.
ALL files on a VCL computer will be DELETED at the end of a reservation.
Follow the instructions below to ensure you can save your work!
Start the reservation process:
- Go to the VCL Log In page, select one of The Claremont Colleges from the list, and use a valid network ID and password from that institution to log in.
- Click the 'Make a Reservation' link.
- You will be presented with a menu of application environments to choose from.
- Select the VCL application environment that contains the desired software.
- Select a time to start the reservation. For immediate access, select 'Now'.
- Select the duration of the reservation: by default the initial duration is 1 hour. Once the reservation is active it can be extended up to 4 hours total.
- Submit your request.
- If a future time/date is requested, a confirmation message will appear concerning the reservation. If the request is for immediate access, a new page will provide real-time information concerning the provisioning of the virtual computer. Click on the 'Pending...' link for details.
- it can take anywhere from 1 to 20 Minutes for the provisioning process to complete.
- Once ready, a 'Connect' button will appear.
- Click the Connect button to access the details of the virtual computer. The details can include the remote IP address, a single one-time password (depending on the environment) and information on how to connect to the remote computer running the application environment selected. Also note the details regarding the connect information will change for each reservation you make.
- Click 'Get RDP File' to download a pre-configured connection file. Open the connection file using one of the Remote Desktop Connection clients discussed at the beginning of this guide. A prompt for a user name and password will appear. Use the information provided by the reservation system.
- If the prompt for user name and password includes a DOMAIN field, leave it blank.
- Passwords are CaSe SeNsiTiVe. Most of the Remote Desktop Connection software from Microsoft does not allow cutting and pasting the password so it must be re-typed with this in mind.
Saving Your Work:
If you use the pre-configured connection file to connect to the Virtual Computing Lab, your computer's local drives are automatically connected to the Virtual Computer. Double click the "Lab Computer" icon on the desktop of the Virtual Computer and then look for drives in the "Other" category. You should see your computer's drive(s). You can interact with the drives just like you would on your computer (drag and drop files, etc.).
Save files to the Virtual Computer's desktop first, and then copy them to your local computer. This will ensure the most stable experience.

Canadian teams playoff bound in beach volleyball
PUERTO VALLARTA, Mexico – Christian Redmann of Oro Station, Ont., and Ben Saxton of Balzac, Alta., clinched a playoff berth in men's play and Heather Bansley and Liz Maloney of Toronto are also headed to the quarterfinals following Tuesday's beach volleyball action at the Pan American Games.
Bansley and Maloney were in a must win situation in their final round robin match and they hammered Diana Romero and Marcela Avalos of El Salvador 21-10, 21-8 to finish in second spot in their pool with two wins and a loss.
That loss was on Monday to Puerto Rican pair Yarleen Santiago and Yamileska Yantin of Puerto Rico and the Canadians were still kicking themselves about that.
''It's really too bad we lost that match because we'd have a much better draw for the quarterfinals,'' said Bansley. ''But we came back and played a good match today. We capitalized on the inexperience of our opponents.''
The Canadians play their quarterfinal on Wednesday.
On the men's side, Redmann and Saxton defeated Dany Lopez and Gerald Umana of Nicaragua 24-22, 21-16 to stand 2-0 in round robin play. With the victory they are assured a berth in the quarterfinals with one round robin match remaining on Wednesday.
''The heat really drained us but we managed to pull through,'' said Saxton. ''we really wanted to win this match and get our playoff spot locked up.''

The Institute of International Education (IIE) supports open, ongoing and inclusive discussion of the post-2015 global development agenda and upholds the vision of the UN Global Consultation on Education that "equitable quality lifelong education and learning for all" should be central to the post-2015 goals.
IIE's mission is to advance international education and access to education worldwide and we are committed to providing students around the world with educational, cultural and professional opportunities that transcend borders to foster a peaceful and interconnected world where all people achieve their full potential; think and act as global citizens; and build inclusive, thriving communities.
As the international community considers the post-2015 development agenda, IIE recommends that the next Millennium Development Goals and the Education For All Framework formulate a set of goals and objectives that include a focus on increased access to quality higher education for all. IIE believes that educational access at all educational levels (primary, secondary, higher, and vocational) must be supported. Creating opportunities and institutional infrastructures that will enable students to successfully transition from primary and secondary school to tertiary education must be a central tenet of the global education agenda. Educational access, equity and quality of education are paramount to ensuring that students can fulfill their full educational potential.
We believe that access to tertiary education is integral to the success of individual persons and nations in the 21st century. The current Millennium Development Goals have enabled more students around the world to complete primary school and transition to secondary education. The next set of goals therefore needs to assure that more students also have access to higher education. With increasing global labor market demands for specialized knowledge and advanced technology skills, tertiary education will become more important than ever to sustained social and economic development. Higher education plays an essential role in achieving other global priorities including the eradication of poverty and hunger, maternal and child health, gender equality and the empowerment of women, and continuing to combat pandemic diseases and ensuring environmental sustainability.

For the first time, the protection of millions of acres of Utah's public lands managed by the Bureau of Land Management will be considered by the U.S. House Subcommittee on National Parks, Forests and Public Lands on Oct 1. Rep. Raul Grijalva (D-AZ) and Maurice Hinchey (D-NY), the long-time sponsor of America's Red Rock Wilderness Act, announced the hearing.
"This is a historic moment in the long effort to protect Utah's magnificent wilderness landscapes throughout the state," said Scott Groene. "Places like Cedar Mesa, the San Rafael Swell, the Green River and the West Desert are one step closer to achieving the lasting protection they need and deserve. Some of Utah's most spectacular places will be protected from off-road vehicle damage, water pollution, and oil wells; hunters, anglers and families will have opportunities to experience the overwhelming quiet and awe that these landscapes offer. All Americans will be able to visit these special places and know that they will be met with the same peace and beauty that previous generations have enjoyed."
America's Red Rock Wilderness Act was first introduced in Congress in 1989 by Wayne Owens (D. Utah), who recognized that the serpentine canyons, plateaus and wild country of southern Utah was worthy of wilderness protection. These lands had long been threatened by oil and gas drilling, uranium and other mineral mining, roads, and off-road vehicle use. When Rep. Owens left Congress in 1992, he asked his close friend Rep. Hinchey to sponsor the bill who currently enjoys the support of 137 cosponsors in the House. In 1998, Senator Richard Durbin (D-IL) introduced America's Red Rock Wilderness Act in the Senate and remains its sponsor today, along with 20 co-sponsors in the 111th Congress.
America's Red Rock Wilderness Act would designate about 9 million acres of BLM lands in Utah as Wilderness, including the Book Cliffs, Vermilion Cliffs, San Rafael Reef and the Wah Wah Mountains.
Grazing, hiking, backpacking, scientific study, photography, guiding and other non-motorized and non-mechanized activity are all allowed in Wilderness.
Even after passage of the Red Rock bill, there will still be tens of thousands of miles of primitive dirt roads and trails crossing public lands available for motorized use, including routes which provide access to the Wilderness lands.
The vast majority of BLM would still be available for oil and gas development on BLM lands in Utah after passage of the Red Rock bill. Additionally, at the end of FY 2008, 5 million acres of BLM lands were under lease in Utah, with only 1.5 million acres of those lands in production.
The benefits of Wilderness designation include buffering the land from the effects of climate change, protection of critical water resources, providing a haven for archaeological sites long threatened by widespread looting, and protecting large blocks of habitat for native plant and animal life like bear, cougar, bald eagle and other species, including those pressured by drought and habitat stress brought about by climate change.
The BLM, in ongoing inventories, has recognized that 7.1 million acres, 74 percent of the bill, qualify for wilderness protection, validating the acres in the Red Rock bill in nearly every instance. Most of the remaining acres in the bill have yet to be properly inventoried by BLM.
The outdoor industry contributes more than $6 billion annually to Utah's economy and depends on the preservation of Utah's public lands to continue growing its customer base in Utah and around the country.
"The tide is decisively turning away from the Bush administration's 'drill anywhere" approach to public lands. It's a new day for Utah wilderness, one that will be marked by respect for one of this nation's most treasured landscapes, while carefully locating development and roads only where the land can sustain that kind of use. It's a fitting first step to mark the end of Wilderness Month," said Myke Bybee, Sierra Club's public lands and wilderness representative.
"There's a growing recognition across the country, including in Utah, that designating wilderness can be good for communities now and into the future," said Julie Mack, Utah State Director for The Wilderness Society. "We look forward to working with Utahns to ensure that these scenic treasures are protected."
"Oil and gas interests have tried and tried again to get their hands on Utah's most valuable pristine lands," said Sharon Buccino, Director the Lands and Wildlife Program at the Natural Resources Defense Council. "We believe wilderness is central to our nation's natural heritage. Future generations deserve to enjoy it as we have. NRDC is hardly alone in this belief, which is why this hearing is an important step forward in protecting these unique lands."
"We applaud Congress for taking steps forward on the Red Rock bill by holding this hearing," noted Jessica Ennis, Legislative Associate for Earthjustice. "This is especially timely given the increased scrutiny over the Bush administration's six controversial resource management plans and the opportunities before the Obama administration to protect these lands."
America's Red Rock Wilderness Act was developed through the efforts of hundreds of citizen volunteers who have hiked and mapped every one of the proposal's 285 units. It is supported by the Utah Wilderness Coalition, including the Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance, The Sierra Club, Earthjustice, Natural Resources Defense Council, The Wilderness Society, and more than 200 member organizations of the Utah Wilderness Coalition, representing millions of Utahns and Americans alike.

Whiting: Pregnant at 15, she's now a professor
Sometimes a mistake turns into the best decision you ever made.
I meet Thea Gavin, grandmother of five, and can't help staring at her feet.
Yes, feet.
Gavin, professor at Concordia University Irvine and recipient of two master's degrees, isn't wearing shoes. Or socks.
Since Gavin's a barefoot runner, her lack of footwear is expected. We head off on a run, with me wearing shoes. As we run and chat, Gavin's life story starts to unfold, and I realize her story is about far more than running barefoot.
It's about trust, love and faith.
It's also about a high school dropout who had her first child at 16.
Yes, those were mistakes.
But her recent rim-to-rim Grand Canyon hike – barefoot – was intentional.
• • •
Ever the professor, Gavin agrees to share if I promise to make this column a teachable moment – and funny.
Funny's hard and the professor's assignment scares the bejeebers out of me. But what scares me more is knowing that at some time during our run, according to my own weird code, I must remove my shoes and run barefoot.
Why run shoeless? I call it reporting. My wife calls it nuts.
Gavin, 53, glides along a rocky trail as if she were born to run.
For a few hundred yards, I run on soft dirt and feel like Huck Finn. Then I hit a rough patch. Ouch. Then pebbles. Ouch, ouch. Then rocks...
I blurt something one shouldn't, especially around a Christian – and Gavin's a lifelong Christian.
She went to school at St. John's Lutheran Church of Orange, sent her children to St. John's and still regularly attends.
Gavin accepts my apology and grins. Gavin understands what it's like to be a tenderfoot.
My feet, pasty white, look I was born to crawl.
• • •
From Gavin's Grand Canyon blog:
I woke up in the autumn dark, re-checked my little knapsack of supplies, kissed my husband goodbye, and started down the North Kaibab Trail at 6:30 am. 38 degrees. Cloudy.
Down, down, down, 14 miles total from the North Rim to Phantom Ranch, inebriated by puddles of canyon-red water, splashing barefoot and leaving lovely exit-prints of the miraculous human foot."
• • •
On a Web site where students rank professors on a scale of 1-5, Gavin scores 4.8-4.9 – except for "easiness" where she gets a 3.9.
The weird part? Students call their tough, albeit barefoot, professor a hippie.
Weirder? This so-called hippie used to race motorcycles.
Lesson: Don't judge a person by their uncover.
But let's go back to Gavin's early days. The daughter of a family doctor, Gavin grew up the youngest of seven children.
If you think being the baby of the bunch and finding yourself pregnant at 15 was tough, you would be right.
Like a lot of kids, Gavin was a wild child. But when she became pregnant after only two years of high school, she felt she only had one choice.
Become a full-time Mom.
After visiting Planned Parenthood, the decision didn't come lightly. Understand, Gavin devoured books, won spelling bees, was her eighth-grade valedictorian.
Now, she was embarking on a journey she had never imagined.
• • •
"Barefoot?" one lady exclaimed with a big grin, pointing at my feet.
I replied by pointing back at her feet and saying, "Shoes?"
We both laughed. We're at the bleepin' Grand Canyon! How could anyone be cranky?
• • •
In September 1975, Gavin and her equally young boyfriend married. Fortunately, there was love and forgiveness in the air.
The couple's less-than-thrilled parents attended, even celebrated.
Four months later, Gavin had her first child, a baby boy the couple named Ty.
Named after – what else? – a vintage dirt bike.
"I look at our stupidity and poor choices," Gavin reflects, "and think, holy cow, I have three amazing kids, five magnificent grandkids and a 37-year marriage.
"You can never screw up bad enough that God can't help you out."
If it hadn't been for their mistake – and the way the young couple handled their wild streak – Gavin allows, "We'd probably be dead by now."
Perhaps it was coincidence. Perhaps it was something else. But somehow things fell in place.
Gavin's teenage husband, Steve, had enough money from an accident settlement for a down payment on a modest home.
At an age when most girls think about their junior prom, Gavin borrowed books from the local public library and taught herself to clean, cook, raise a child.
At the same time, Steve started working at his father's muffler shop. Soon, Gavin found the time to help babysit during Bible study at St. John's.
Of the congregation, she reports, "They never shunned me, not one bit."
Two years after Ty was born, the couple added daughter Tina. Their third child followed four years later, baby boy Taylor.
But there were complications.
• • •
It was barefoot-hiking heaven. The green river frosted with rapids, the sunrise cliffs of contrasting red-gold-and-shadow, dreamy streamside vegetation smells. Sigh.
• • •
Baby Taylor required a tracheotomy and a gastrostomy.
It's said that you can't be a care giver if you don't take care of yourself. And for Gavin that certainly was true. She realized she needed occasional breaks.
With Steve minding the children, Gavin plunged into her husband's hobby, dirt-bike racing.
She headed to now-closed Saddleback Motocross Park near Irvine Lake. Soon, she started collecting trophies. But it was never about winning.
Paradoxically, it was about finding peace.
Wrapped in the smell of gasoline, the sound of screaming engines and the sting of flying dirt, Gavin lived in the moment, the challenges of being a mother lost in the adrenaline.
But one day she went motorcycle riding and realized it was Mother's Day. Then she realized something else. Her escape was becoming an obsession.
So, Gavin dialed down the adrenaline a bit and turned to something she'd loved as a child, something pure, simple – running.
Then she returned to one more early love – education.
She started attending Santa Ana College, taking one class a semester, then two. Soon she was a full-time student. University followed. In the spring of 1997, Gavin taught her first class at Concordia.
• • •
I'm 53 and feeling pretty good. I just hiked across the Grand Canyon, barefoot. More than halfway in the rain.
OK, I'm nearly cripple. But only when I change from not-moving to moving.
• • •
Six years ago, Gavin took a standup comedy class. The final required performing at a club. With a routine about being pregnant at 16, she invited only her husband and one sister.
But later that same sister goaded Gavin into performing for her parents. They roared. She killed.
Gavin won't be pregnant again.
But she will be barefoot.

CP Special Report: Improving Plant Efficiency and Safety
Sponsored By: Parker
Chemical plants vary widely in size and complexity yet share common goals for maximizing efficiency safely and cost effectively. This Chemical Processing Special Report tackles two areas in chemical processing - compressed air systems and powder handling - where gains can be achieved for improving efficiency. We also address the concerns of safety as it relates to drying compressed air in hazardous atmospheres.
Key takeaways:
- Whether compressed air systems are centrifugal, rotary screw, reciprocating compressors or a combination, this Special Report provides and understanding of what's involved in getting a suitable supply of compressed air.
- Efficient powder handling can be achieved through optimized humidity management.
- Safe drying practices in hazardous air locations
Important facts you should know about drying compressed air in hazardous environments
Hazardous locations have or could potentially have high concentrations of flammable gases, vapors, combustible dusts, etc. A small spark can lead to a horrific explosion dangerous to equipment and workers in the area. Equipment located in hazardous areas must be specifically designed to prevent ignition and explosion.
Read this White Paper to learn:
- Types of hazardous areas
- Conditions classified as hazardous
- Hazardous substances
- Specifications for equipment located in hazardous areas
- Explosion proof dryers designed for compressed air systems

Measurement of Oxygen Concentration in Blanketing and Inerting Operations
Gaseous oxygen measurement with amperometric sensors is the most direct and easiest solution for oxidation and explosion protection.
Unwelcome oxygen Tank blanketing is the process of filling the headspace in storage vessels and reactors with an inert gas to prevent its contents from exploding, degrading or polymerizing and to protect equipment from corrosion. A blanketing system is normally designed such that it operates under higher than atmospheric pressures, therefore preventing outside air from entering the vessel. As oxygen and moisture in the air can be undesired in numerous processes and applications, blanketing is done in a wide range of industries, varying from (petro)chemical to food and beverage, pharmaceutical to pure water.01/06/2010

White Paper: Understanding the Risks Associated with FIBCs and Electrostatic Hazards
Flexible Intermediate Bulk Containers (FIBCs) have found their niche in the worldwide transportation of powdered, flaked and granulated products. FIBCs are typically made of woven plastic with some type of liner insert and are often referred to as super sacks, big bags or bulk bags in industry. During filling and emptying of FIBCs there is a steady accumulation of static charge that can result in electrostatic discharges from the FIBC. This may in turn provide sufficient energy for ignition of combustible particulate solids or flammable vapors, not to mention unsettling shocks to nearby personnel. In this white paper we review the NFPA 654 Standard for the Prevention of Fire and Dust Explosions from Combustible Particulate Solids and the importance of why identifying the Minimum Ignition Energy (MIE) of your combustible dust or flammable vapor is a necessary component for selecting the correct FIBC Type for your application.

It goes without saying new GM Craig MacTavish has his work cut out this off-season in terms of changing up the roster if the Edmonton Oilers are going to be markedly better next season. That much we do know.
How he'll go about it, the means to that end, we don't yet know, but it's safe to assume MacTavish will not only have to make some trades, bold and otherwise, in the kinds of scenarios Jason Gregor put forward today, he'll have to do an infinitely better job in the free agent market than Steve Tambellini did if he's going to add a useful veteran presence and more grit.
For me – speaking strictly about forwards in this installment – three names stand out, be it because of their age, price point or the ability to fill a need up front for the Oilers. It's Captain Obvious stuff, of course, because there's no doubt the vast majority of NHL general managers will also have these names circled when these players hit the UFA market.
Even allowing for that, I can't think of one reason why MacTavish shouldn't be pitching like crazy to land one of these guys – all of whom would bring a competitive edginess, experience and, perhaps most important, the ability to play in the top nine -- when UFA season opens.
At six-foot-four, 233 pounds and just 27 years old, Bickell will have a line-up of teams looking to hand over a stack of money if he doesn't re-sign with the Chicago Blackhawks.
The beauty of putting a call into Bickell and his agent is that, in relative terms, it won't take a huge stack of dough to get him, and that's why the hulking right winger might be the first name on my list from this trio.
Bickell, who scored 9-14-23 with the Blackhawks this season and had a career-best 17-20-37 in 2010-11, has to be one of the better bargains in the NHL with a salary of just $600,000 this season. Yes, he'll command a big raise, but he won't break the bank.
Bickell's been good enough since finding his way to the Windy City from the OHL to average 12:39 in ice time per game through six seasons on a loaded Chicago team. On Edmonton's roster as it stands now, he'd be a top-nine lock. Simply put, Bickell looks like an effective role player on the ascent, rather than a well-worn grinder winding down his career.
I like Clarkson a lot, and for reasons that don't jump out you just by looking at his numbers. At six-foot-one and 200 pounds, the 29-year-old New Jersey right winger isn't an imposing physical specimen. All he does is compete – on virtually every shift.
If you believe the Oilers have to get tougher to play against and need to up their nasty quotient several notches – who doesn't? – and that they must do so with players who can actually play top-nine minutes, Clarkson is your guy.
Like Bickell, Clarkson isn't likely ever to be an offensive dynamo. He's certainly not without skill, having scored 15-9-24 this season and 30-16-46 in 2011-12, but his value if you actually watch him play is that "compete level" that seems lacking in Edmonton's line-up.
Clarkson, coming off a deal that pays him $3 million this season, will command a reasonable chunk of change as a UFA. He averaged 17:36 in ice time this season and more than 16 minutes a night two seasons ago. He can play, he can score some and he's tough as nails.
I've liked Horton since the Florida Panthers drafted him third overall in 2003 and nothing has changed, although I do have some concerns about his health (he played just 46 games in 2011-12) and his price tag as a UFA – he's coming off a contract paying him $5.5 million.
Allowing for those caveats, the six-foot-two, 229-pound Boston right winger has played more minutes on average per game, 17:22, than either Bickell or Clarkson through nine seasons with the Panthers and Bruins.
Horton, still only 27, has scored 20-or-more goals in six of his previous eight seasons and tallied 13-9-22 in 43 games this season. His high-water mark in terms of points was 20-37-57 in 2009-10. Horton's got more pedigree and skill than Bickell and Clarkson but he's just as nasty.

In (unnecessary) defence of P.K. Subban:
No no no no no, don't be cherry picking stats to support your argument now. The guy can play, but he certainly has some warts in his game. He's far from untouchable. Give Justin a couple more yrs and he'll surpass what Subban has done to date. Keep Eberle. Subban is like a hooker, the cheaper they are, the less likely they are you can afford them.
PK is a 2.875 per season player for a reason, Eberle is a 6.00 per season player for similar reasons as well. Ebs straight up for Subban, just say no to drugs there dude. Humbling statistics I researched extensively in your honour, sorry to go cherry picking as well. Guess the hockey world already forgot about 5 time Stanley Cup Champion/Hall of Famer Grant Fuhr before. The title of the article alone removes all credibility.
Can I trade you my brand new $50.00 bill for your pocket worn $100.00 bill?
May 10 2013, 03:51PM
Robin, could you put forth your next 3 options (possible trade options instead of UFA's) to make a part 2 to promote these dreamy ideas. You know how we love to go on about things that don't matter.
Miss seeing your efforts here every 3 days Brownlee. Can we blame Herbal Magic for 30% fewer Robin Brownlee contributions here?
May 10 2013, 03:59PM
Seriously, stop talking about PK Subban coming to Edmonton. Never going to happen. This isn't NHL play station guys.
I have faith Smytty will be a lot better next year. He won't be forced to play out of position at center for half the year and hopefully he won't be stuck in the Belanger Triangle either.
Smytty's always been decent at taking draws but his game was never built to be a center.
I too love Smytty........the only problem is he looks like he is skating in slow motion. His best asset right now is tipping pucks except he does not plat the PP.
Time to move on for him, Horcoff, Hemsky, Petrrell and especially Belenger. You cant re-build the bottom six with these guys and I would be inclined to throw Brown in there, but its the weekend.
Seriously, stop talking about PK Subban coming to Edmonton. Never going to happen. This isn't NHL play station guys.
You're new around here, aren't you?

Trade Secrets, Disclosure, and Dissent in a Fracturing Energy Revolution
Hannah Jacobs Wiseman
Florida State University - College of Law
September 15, 2010
Columbia Law Review Sidebar, Vol. 111, pp. 1-13, January 27, 2011
University of Tulsa Legal Studies Research Paper No. 2011-05
The United States has traditionally enlisted citizens in efforts to control industrial activity and its effects on public welfare. A growing energy revolution, however - led by a new method of extracting natural gas from shale called "slickwater hydraulic fracturing" (described in brief as "fracing" in this Article) - does not fall squarely within statutes that contain private attorney general provisions. Further, states often preempt local regulation of this activity. Citizens are therefore demanding more information about fracing and a voice in its potential regulation. The EPA has commissioned a nationwide study of the practice and in September 2010, it sent a letter to major players in the industry, ordering them to disclose the chemicals used in their fracing operations. While this administrative action appears to open a door to public information and citizen input, it allows the companies to maintain trade secrets and does little to improve publicly available information. For fracing policy to be successful, individuals representing a range of perspectives must have a voice in its formation, and the best policy will arise from informed public discourse. More information must be disclosed about fracing - and particularly the chemicals used in fracing - before the public will have an effective and informed voice in helping to guide a major energy development.

Best support time and time again...
"I am a long distance runner with flat feet that could make a frog blush.I was fitted for Mizunos years ago after trying other brands for pronator support. The "shoe guy" stressed the open toe box and structured arch support, as well as sturdy insole shank. I have tried other brands without the same success (including hiking/trail runners).The wave Inspire 8 fit just as well as my first Mizunos and haven't failed me. (It looks like you'll be running on banannas, but the "yellow" is more a neon green... which at least seems to impress my dogs, if not my wife!)I recommend these shoes as Mizuno has not changed their support system. However, if this is your first pair- definitely try a pair in a store first!-Good luck running!!!"

Vatican City
IntroductionVatican City (vătˈĭkən) [key] or Holy See, officially Holy See (State of the Vatican City), independent state (2005 est. pop. 900), 108.7 acres (44 hectares), within the city of Rome, Italy, and the residence of the pope, who is its absolute ruler. Vatican City may be said to correspond politically to the former Papal States, but it was created as a result of the Lateran Treaty of 1929 between Pope Pius XI and King Victor Emmanuel III (negotiated by Cardinal Gasparri and Mussolini), which ended the so-called Roman Question.

Farmers and ranchers helping consumers learn how to stretch your grocery dollars and eat healthy, too. During this time of economic squeeze is it possible to feed your family healthy, nutritious meals and still stay within your budget?
Farmers and ranchers throughout Utah are reaching out to consumers in their communities this week and offering tips on how consumers can stretch their grocery dollars with healthy, nutritious food. During this week, County Farm Bureaus throughout Utah plan to make a special effort to reach out to consumers in-person or through social media, to answer questions about the food that they grow or the livestock they raise. Additionally, the Utah Farm Bureau State Womens Committee recently donated $600 to the Ronald McDonald House in Salt Lake City, recognizing the need everyone has to find solutions to feeding families healthful foods on a tight budget. The Ronald McDonald House provides a home-away-from-home for families of seriously ill children receiving medical treatment in the Salt Lake City area. The money will be used to help feed families staying at the house.
The movement highlights the safe, abundant and affordable food supply, made possible largely by Americas productive farmers and ranchers. According to the most recent information from the USDAs Economic Research Service, American families and individuals spend, on average, about 10 percent of their disposable personal income for food.
Concern about the cost of a healthy diet being out of reach remains on the minds of many Americans as the nation continues to work through serious economic woes. However, according to a USDA study, the cost of eating healthy hasn't changed as much as some less-healthy alternatives. Eating healthy food while on a budget does require strategic shopping.
Fruits and vegetables; along with whole grains, low-fat dairy products, lean meats, fish, beans, eggs and nuts; are an important part of a healthy diet. Buying fresh produce when it's in season and costs less, while buying frozen fruits and vegetables when they're not in season, is a smart way to stretch that dollar says Marlene Israelsen, a registered dietitian and Clinical Assistant Professor in the Nutrition, Dietetics, and Food Sciences department at Utah State University.
Utah's farmers and ranchers share a common concern with consumers when it comes to putting nutritious meals on the table while sticking to a tight budget.
Learning to use your grocery dollars wisely helps ensure that nutrition isn't neglected said Belva Parr, chair of the Utah Farm Bureau Womens Committee. America's farmers and ranchers are committed to producing safe, healthy, and abundant food. And they share a common concern with consumers when it comes to putting nutritious meals on the table while sticking to a tight budget.
The good news is that a recent USDA report favorably supports the economics of healthier eating. Recent food price data show that prices for unprepared, readily available fresh fruits and vegetables have remained stable relative to dessert and snack foods, such as chips, ice cream and cola. Therefore, as defined by foods in the study, the price of a healthier diet has not changed compared to an unhealthy diet.

OK, I think we might get this thing moving right ? The idea is obviously interesting and I see that people would come in if not for the lectures then for the fun unleast. So Im taking the liberty to make a step forward ..
*sending PMs*First things first, Sig Workshop needs unleast 4-6 teachers who have made more then 20-30 sigs with an apropriate quality. So, we need to find these people right ? All I can do is ask the few I know around this forum, e.g. ChukoLiang, Ravona, Imoto, Jaiden, DFX, Cross and Aribelle, plus me :3 Of those Im sure they are experienced enough for this shit Know somebody else ? Let him know !!!
Now, we can all think about whats the next step while they get theyre asses over here My idea is to gather on IRC and chat away the ideas. For that we need to gather on this thread first and decide on a perfect time when all of us will be available.
My other idea was to create a new section, if thats not overdoinf it :3 Either way the workshop needs some space on the forum to "work" well. One thread is NOT gonna cut it !!! If we are pulling this shit then I say lets do it in style !!! Yeah baby, with posters, banners and a glass of wine near each of our laptops or PCs ! So anyway, thinking ahead, if we "employ" some teachers then its obvious that we gonna need to create a method of lectures and stuff right ? Im sure we can think of something, but my base idea is first of all that the teachers present theyre tuts in each of theyre threads. Think of it as "scripts" necesery for learning.Last thing, for something like this we need an approval from mods so .. mods .. whats it gonna be ? A [GO] , a [STOP] , or a undecided [WAIT] ?As we know, people are lazy. Having "script" alone isnt gonna cut it bcs they gonna get bored with that right ? Just like us in school, who would learn anything if our teachers just gave us books for home study with no lessons to back up the studying ? However, as for the lessons, have no idea. Live chat ? Anyway, this just proves we need to gather somewhere on a chat room and discuss away.
Spoiler!Shouldnt DFX be doing this ? lol

23 July – 10 October 2004
Media launch
12 noon Thursday
22 July 2004
Media release
22 June 2004
This exhibition will present over 70 works of art produced by Sean Scully during the last 16 years including major paintings, works on paper, photographs and prints. Sourced from collections in both Australia and Europe, some of the works have rarely been seen in public.
Scully was born in Dublin in 1945. His family left the Irish capital in 1949 and lived, like many Irish immigrants, in the working-class area of Islington in south London. Inspired by paintings he saw in a local church, Scully decided at a young age to become a painter. After studies in England and at Harvard University in the United States of America during the 1960s and early 1970s, Scully moved to New York in 1975, and has since held major exhibitions in museums throughout North America and Europe.
For over 30 years Scully has painted large abstract works using horizontal and vertical stripes, bands and grids in numerous configurations. The stripe has become his motif. Scully's paintings are immensely physical. Their scale is often architectural, and they are made with thick, heavy stretchers, engaging his audience in a relationship that is provocative and affirming. In his recent Wall of light series, magnificent, wall-sized canvases are covered with arrangements of intersecting coloured stripes that literally radiate with life and energy. Through their presence, they seek to remind the viewer of, in the artist's own words, 'the brutality of reality' and the 'fact that we are physical … my paintings begin with that premise'.
Scully's work is also deeply meditative. It is intended to enable contemplation and, possibly, transformation: 'I feel very passionately about the power of art'. The painter has asserted that 'art has the ability to affect the way people see the world, now more than ever'.

Gurkha Memorial Garden
A selection of Nepal's unique flora can be seen in the Gurkha Memorial Garden between Himalayan Valley and Jermyn's House. Created in 1997 with generous funding from the Kadoorie Foundation of Hong Kong, the garden has been planted with wild-collected material of known origin, including material collected by Roy Lancaster OBE VMH, Tom Le M Spring-Smyth, and Tony Schilling.
On the top level stands a traditional Nepalese resting-place, the Chautara, displaying the regimental regiments. A chautara is a four-walled roofless structure where weary travellers can rest while trekking across the foothills of the Himalayas. It is common in Nepal for a chautara to be constructed in memory of a recently deceased loved one, and ours is constructed in memory of Sir Horace Kadoories (1902-1995), benefactor to the Gurkhas and their homeland of Nepal.

INDIANAPOLIS — Russell Wilson can sure wreck a gameplan.
That's what this breed of young, agile quarterbacks can do with their read-option schemes, cannon arms and fresh legs.
Ask the Houston Texans.
Last Sunday at Reliant Stadium, the Texans had Wilson and the Seattle Seahawks just where they wanted them. Houston had a 17-point second-half lead, protected by a savvy, big-play defense.
And the Texans still lost in overtime.
Sure, cornerback Richard Sherman's fourth-quarter, pick-six off Matt Schaub was a key swing play.
But the Seahawks (4-0) would have never executed the comeback that sent them undefeated into Sunday's showdown at Lucas Oil Stadium against the Indianapolis Colts without Wilson's magic.
On a day in which he struggled passing, throwing for just 123 yards, Wilson burned the Texans with his scrambling. He had two huge runs on a 98-yard TD drive in the fourth quarter, and another key run in overtime.
So much for the spy — linebacker Whitney Mercilus — that the Texans assigned to keep up with Wilson.
It didn't work. Wilson rushed 10 times for 77 yards.
Maybe the Colts will take a page from the same strategy book?
"It depends on who that spy is, and how fast that guy is," Colts coach Chuck Pagano said.
In typical NFL doublespeak, Pagano wouldn't disclose whether the Colts will try to contain Wilson with a spy.
"If it's 007, sure," he said, pressed on the matter. "Superman? Yeah. If he had an 'S' on his chest? Sure."
No doubt, Wilson has kept Pagano and defensive coordinator Greg Manusky up a bit longer this week. They can design a plan to bottle up Marshawn Lynch and take away receivers Sidney Rice or Golden Tate, only to have the short, overlooked quarterback put a torch to it by improvising to move the chains.
Seattle might be the most balanced team in the NFL, with a swaggering, big-play defense and power rushing attack centered around Lynch.
But Wilson is so difficult to prepare for.
Forget that since Week 1, when he passed for a career-high 320 yards at Carolina, he has not thrown for more than 202 yards in a game. Although his 24 pass attempts per game are fewest for a starting NFL quarterback this season, he's been efficient with a 95.3 passer rating.
Never mind that four quarterbacks — Michael Vick, Aaron Pryor, Alex Smith and Colin Kaepernick — have rushed for more yards than Wilson. It's a matter of doing what's needed at the moment. In that regard, none have been better than Wilson, who was bypassed until the third round last year because he didn't possess the ideal NFL quarterback dimensions.
The kid, all 5-10 of him, just has this uncanny knack for producing magic at the right time. That's a huge reason why the Seahawks are 4-0 for the first time in franchise history and have nine consecutive regular-season victories dating to last season.
"We know he's a nightmare and we've seen what he can do," Pagano said.
Indianapolis' eighth-ranked defense has improved against the run, but that begs for context. The Colts were shredded by Pryor for 112 rushing yards in Week 2.
How much stress will Wilson put on the unit?
"You want to rush, you want to go after him, but you've got to be disciplined," said Pagano. "A lot of times with quarterbacks like him and facing the Michael Vicks of the world, if you overdo it and overcook it, you won't get any rush because everybody will be sitting there and just kind of playing paddy-cake with the offensive linemen trying to keep him corralled, keep him in the pocket, so to speak. You've got to rush him and you've got to keep pressure on him, but you've got to be extremely disciplined.
"We certainly know he can make all the throws from the pocket, and he's scarier outside the pocket. Some of the throws we've seen on tape, whether he breaks out to the right, spins over the shoulder once he feels pressure on this side and gets out, he's as accurate as all get-out, whether he's in the pocket or on the run. So we've got our hands full."
What an intriguing subplot for Sunday.
Robert Mathis is wary.
"You can't let up," said Mathis, the Pro Bowl Colts linebacker who is tied for the NFL lead with 7½ sacks. "We've got to make him rush his reads."
Other items to ponder as Week 5 rolls on
Dealing with Peyton: Now it's the Dallas Cowboys' turn to try slowing the Peyton Manning train. Good luck. Manning (NFL-best 138.0 passer rating, 16 TDs, 0 picks) is off to the best start of his career, and the Denver Broncos have averaged 44.8 points per game. Dallas has played better defense under new coordinator Monte Kiffin, and the unit is tied for third in the NFL with 14 sacks. So, with DeMarcus Ware coming off the edge, the notion of forcing Manning off his spot with a consistent pass rush should be included in any plan. But the Cowboys got lit up by Philip Rivers for a 400-yard game last weekend, and the Broncos have allowed the second-fewest sacks in the NFL (5). Besides, as Tony Dungy pointed out on NBC, Manning may know the Kiffin defense better than the Cowboys — given that he practiced against Dungy's Tampa 2 D for more than a decade with the Colts. What gives Dallas its best chance? Playing keepaway. With a big rushing game from DeMarco Murray that controls the clock, the Cowboys would have a chance at reducing the possessions that Manning gets to direct. At least that's a thought.
Lambeau Leap? The Detroit Lions ended decades of ineptitude in Week 3 when they won at Washington for the first time since 1934. Now Detroit (3-1) stares at another horrendous streak as it heads into Sunday's road game against the Green Bay Packers. The Lions have lost 22 consecutive road games in Wisconsin, the longest road losing streak by any team against an opponent. The streak dates back to the pre-Brett Favre era, with the last Detroit win in Green Bay coming in 1991. In recent years, it has pretty much been a pattern of Aaron Rodgers (and even Matt Flynn) slicing up an overmatched secondary. Will it happen again? Maybe. But Detroit has injury-prone safety Louis Delmas back on the field. When he's healthy, he's one of the best in the game. He's shown that again this season. The Lions have never taken Reggie Bush to Green Bay, either, so maybe that makes a difference — especially when considering the trouble the Packers had with Bengals rookie running back Giovani Bernard. In any event, if the Lions are to ever break through and win the NFC North, they'll need to win in Lambeau. Last weekend, Detroit finally handled the Chicago Bears after losing nine of the previous 10 matchups. If they can buck another trend this weekend, it would stamp the Lions as a legit contender for the division crown. If not, Green Bay (1-2) repositions itself as trouble on the rise.
VIDEO: Power rankings heading into Week 5
Find out where your team ranks as the NFL heads into Week 5.
Who's hot? Jimmy Graham. With three consecutive 100-yard receiving games, the freakish tight end is yet another symbol of the flow that has been re-established with the undefeated New Orleans Saints. And here's a scary proposition for opposing defenses: He's getting better. Graham ranks second in the NFL with 458 receiving yards (the Atlanta Falcons' Julio Jones has 481), and with eight of his 27 catches gaining at least 20 yards, he stretches the field better than most wideouts. And he scores. Graham is tied with Wes Welker for the NFL lead with six receiving TDs, which puts him one shy of the mark established by Mike Ditka (1963) and Antonio Gates (2010) for most by a tight end through five games and on pace to seriously threaten Rob Gronkowski's single-season record of 17. This all represents a major problem on Sunday for the Bears, who have had difficulty covering the deep seams downfield.
Pressure's on: Mike Smith. Maybe there's a hangover after blowing a 20-point lead at home in the NFC title game last season. Through the first quarter of the season, the Falcons (1-3) don't look like anybody's Super Bowl contender. That's the standard now given the solid program Smith and GM Thomas Dimitroff have built. But to take the next step, the Falcons must eliminate their horrible habit of squandering opportunity. They couldn't finish the job against the San Francisco 49ers in the title game, and with each of their losses this season — at New Orleans, at Miami and against New England — they have blown it in crunch time. It's not all on Smith, whose team has been stung by a massive injury toll. The issues in the red zone, which really came to light in the loss to the Patriots, also fall on quarterback Matt Ryan. It's one thing to have a prolific offense loaded with weapons such as Jones, Roddy White and Tony Gonzalez. It's another thing to have an offense that can't be trusted with points at stake and in short-yardage situations, where the Falcons have also struggled. Smith probably isn't on the hot seat in the conventional sense as it relates to job security. But if the Falcons plummet from being at the doorstep of the Super Bowl to a team that can't make the playoffs, the questions will undoubtedly intensify.
Rookie watch: Kenbrell Thompkins. Resourcefulness has long been a defining mark of Bill Belichick's success with the Patriots, who have injuries like every other team in the league but head into Sunday's game against the Cincinnati Bengals with a 4-0 record. And Thompkins, heading back to the city where he played college ball the previous two seasons, is a sterling example of how that resourcefulness is playing out at the moment, with New England still awaiting the return of key weapons Gronkowski and Danny Amendola. Thompkins is third in the NFL for catches among rookies (15). It's also notable that the top two rookie leaders (DeAndre Hopkins, Tavon Austin) were first-round picks. Thompkins made the Patriots as an undrafted free agent. In recent weeks, there's been no reason for Tom Brady to fume on the sideline over the mistakes of his rookie receivers — including Thompkins and Aaron Dobson — as the two-time MVP did during a Week 2 squeaker against the New York Jets. The connection with the young targets is evolving, and particularly with Thompkins. After scoring his first two NFL TDs against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 3, Thompkins came back last Sunday at Atlanta with his first 100-yard game.
Stomach for an upset: Jacksonville Jaguars at St. Louis Rams. Given the pitiful performance of a last-place offense that has scored just three TDs all season (13 fewer than Manning has thrown for), it is not a stretch to wonder if Jacksonville can win a game this season. Sure, it's early. But glance at the schedule, and maybe the best chance for the Jags to rid themselves of the potentially mounting 0-16 projection comes at the Edward Jones Dome on Sunday when they face a disappointing young Rams squad (1-3) that has had its own issues with a 30th-ranked offense and surprisingly hasn't been as ferocious on defense as projected. Jacksonville gets talented wideout Justin Blackmon back from his four-game suspension for multiple DUIs. Now let's see if the Jags can utilize him to exploit a secondary that could be without crafty-but-struggling cornerback Cortland Finnegan, listed as doubtful with a thigh injury. If the Jags don't get the W this week, then 0-6 is a given. Next week, they go to Denver, where there will be zero chance for an upset.
Next man up: Ryan Fitzpatrick. Just when Jake Locker hit his stride as the emerging young quarterback the Tennessee Titans were hoping for — he has the NFL's sixth-best passer rating (99.0), with no picks — he is sidelined for at least a month with a hip injury. That leaves Fitzpatrick to maintain the vibe of an impressive 3-1 start. A key indicator will be turnovers. Tennessee is the only team in the league that hasn't given the ball away, which happened to be the root of Fitzpatrick's flame-out with the Buffalo Bills. He threw 54 picks in three years with the Bills and fumbled 23 times. Now comes a matchup on Sunday against a Kansas City Chiefs defense that has forced an AFC-high 12 turnovers. Fitzpatrick's arm strength will also attract scrutiny. Last season, he completed just 27.5% of his throws of 20-plus yards, lowest among NFL starters, according to Pro Football Focus. So if Fitzpatrick is going to prove the Titans didn't blow it by releasing Matt Hasselbeck, he will have to reverse some trends.
Stat's the fact: Since passing for a career-high 412 yards in the season-opening win against the Packers, 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick has thrown for a total for 444 yards in his past three games, 30th in the NFL over that span.

"These shoes are stunning! The color is a rich coral-pink, similar to the photo, and the suede is soft and luxurious.I wear a 6.5 to 7, and I ordered the 7 because designer shoes tend to run smaller in my experience. These fit perfectly, and they don't feel as tall as they look because of the hidden platform. Also, the peep toe is so pretty. I love Guiseppe Zanotti shoes- they use the best quality materials and are so beautifully made that they are like little works of art."
