The SAG Awards are showing live on TBS. can't play on this one guys :'(
( no cable – no able)
Y'all have some fun, now.
*smiling bravely amidst the tears*
Hits123,I'd say muffling and poking out the right eye with her self done nails… Who is this stick woman? The Bab weighs more then her…ReplyCancel
Ah well, no TBS for me (suck it, cable companies) so I must participate in the after-party-post-party.
JLaw, girl, I hope you at least try to LBD this time.
LOL @ Steampunk, I was just about to hit publish when I saw your comment. No cable here, either, all streaming or airwave. TBS doesn't play.ReplyCancel
Holy guacamole – I forgot it was on! Watching E! now.
Doesn't seem as energetic as the GGs …ReplyCancel
Seven we can always aim potshots from the sidelines… You can post snidely funny gifs referring to the gossip about Them….and I could do misspelled double entendres'.. 😀ReplyCancel
I'll try and do a good commentary for those who can't see it …
Okay – so Sarah-somone-or-other just talked to Guiliana … Sarah is a presenter and was wearing a gorgeous red off-the-shoulder red gown. She looked incredible.
Anna Gunn arrived a second ago and looked lovely.
Jane Krakowski is wearing green and looks amaaazing – she's rocking a blonde bob.
Kelly and Guliliana (herein referred to as G, as it takes too long to type) are waffling on, trying to fill in gaps because no celebs want to talk to G and have to face that awful mani cam …ReplyCancel
Stepper, it's the pay bar, lol. It slows everything down…ReplyCancel
Very long ad break at the moment …ReplyCancel
LOL @ Steampunk – I like!ReplyCancel
Why is G ashing questions? Is there a reputable commenter? Hell I wish it was Kathy Griffith , she makes me crack upReplyCancel
I'd say the baby is near her weight. Girl needs a stew injectionReplyCancel
Holly Hunter is wearing red too … a bit different to the other presenter's dress though … a halterneck style, this one.
I don't think she likes G's line of questioning about her twin boys … she's pretending not to hear her and keeps asking her to repeat.
Holly has been nominated for an award tonight and says it's a total thrill to be nominated; she enjoyed working with Jane Campion (go NZ!) … and is shocked to be here. Holly is wearing her hair tied back in a ponytail.
Here's Ross, and he's talking to Sarah Hyland, who is wearing a pale pink princess gown … strapless, it's pulled in at the waist and I approve! She looks great. Hair is worn over left shoulder.ReplyCancel
Enty posted this thread too late , what 2 hours later than the last post? Who does that and expects numbers?ReplyCancel
Is strapless the predom dress style?ReplyCancel
Dermot Mulroney is talking to G now … woah! What happened to him? Dude looks weird … hair is either wet or over-gelled and he's very short. Not how I remember him from TV.
Jason Bateman has arrived on the carpet – looking hot.
G is chatting to Dermot about pot luck dinners with Meryl Streep.
Cutting over to camera view of Anna Gunn, who is wearing a dark blue / purple sparkly grecian style dress (well, neckline anyway) – looks gorgeous. Hair is loose and curlyish.
Jesse Tyler Ferguson has arrived on the carpet … and someone else who they've forgotten to put a caption on. She looks nice but her dress is the same colour as Anna's.ReplyCancel
Oh god, it's time already? I completely blew off watching the Globes red carpet until after the show.
Okay, I'll bite once I get some snacks and a cocktail of some sort put together.
Even before tuning in, the thinner G gets, the bigger her mouth becomes and the more it scares me. I swear she's going to EAT that baby.ReplyCancel
Kit Harrington from GoT is talking to Ross and wearing Vanya or something like that … Ross obviously hasn't heard of that label before either, as he asked him to repeat it.
Ross isn't a very good interviewer – needs to talk slower. Kit is babbling on about his character, etc.ReplyCancel
@Steampunk – You know it!ReplyCancel
G is now talking to James Marsden … oooh, he's a hottie.
Nominated for TWO things today! Funny man – said he voted a lot for himself.
He has lovely skin … wonder what products he uses.
G's heels must be burning her soles because she keeps shuffling from side to side.ReplyCancel
G prolly is still split up from that !monster baby!ReplyCancel
Ross is now talking to Katrina Bowden and Keith Powell. Katrina looks like Aaron Paul's wife. She is wearing her hair over her left shoulder (must be a trend this awards season), and a black dress with gold on the upper section (bust upwards) … it's sleeveless.
Keith Powell looks very dapper in a black suit and tie, and white shirt.
Alfre Woodard from 12 Years a Slave has just arrived – has a lovely mauve-coloured sleeveless, sparkling, dress on.
Ty Burrell has just arrived, as has Julie Bowen … OH NO … she's wearing red too!!! Too much red!!!!
G is now talking to … um … no caption! She's English and has a brown one-shouldered dress on. Oh, there it is – Emilia Clarke. She wears a blonde wig on the show; in real life she has very dark hair. G is filling in time talking about hair colour.ReplyCancel
Love love love Marsden, I WANT himReplyCancel
OH MY GOD IT'S JARED LETO!!! He just asked Emilia to give him a hug; he hasn't seen her show but said he hears it's amazing. Emilia responded that she's seen his movie and knows his music too – way to make him feel stink, Emilia!
Now we're zooming into Emilia's eyes as they're apparently really beautiful … OMG – we're doing the same with Jared – his eyes are beauuuuutiful. G seems to be trying to match Emilia and Jared up … told Emilia to ask him questions. Jared is rocking some very curly, styled hair and a white bow tie. Jared has brought his Mum along … she looks like him, except with white hair. She looks nice.
Jared brought his brother to the GGs and has brought his Mum to the SAGs, so is keeping it in the family. G's sister and Jared's brother dated together! Jared seems quite surprised by that … maybe she made it up?
I think G fancies Jared … well, don't we all … she's really getting into this interview. He's very chatty – talking about 30 Seconds to Mars a lot.ReplyCancel
Lol seven, nailing it!ReplyCancel
Jason Bateman is talking to Ross.
His wife is wearing a boofy pony tail … boofy in that it looks very teased. She has a strapless black gown on.
Jason is a double nominee … he seems to be taking it in his stride … doesn't seem too excited …ReplyCancel
Here's Oprah … uh-oh; someone hid her hair tamer …
Julie is now talking to G … Julie looks awful! Is wearing a red, black and white dress … skirt is black and white striped, and bodice is red. But her hair and makeup look gorgeous.
I think Juile has been drinking …ReplyCancel
Who apparently doesn't fancy Jared Leto?!ReplyCancel
Aaron Paul has just arrived … his wife is wearing red too … cowl neckline and sleevless dress; hair in an updo.
Kerry Washington in red too … all I see is a sparkling bodice though …ReplyCancel
I have a visitor knocking at my door – have to go!ReplyCancel
Aw, Oprah!ReplyCancel
Thanks step. Be careful on the door!ReplyCancel
Eww – Kelly.
Nice blue sparkle dress on that chick.
It's OPRAH who will NOT be getting an Oscar. Ha. I'm so over her.
G should have kept Leto AWAY from the Khaleesi. God knows what he'll do to her, given half a chance.
Chubby Ross – I like him in spite of himself.ReplyCancel
So creams pastels for the foreign press, red for actors…who coordinates this shit?ReplyCancel
G was excited to speak to anyone despite the hefty fees that wereaid for them to " casually" stop…ReplyCancel
Let's hope Sofia doesn't have another wardrobe malfunction.
(Then again, there are some on this site who would be delighted…)ReplyCancel
Wow, I really hate Cate's dress.
I also hate Gretchen Mol's dress.
And even my beloved Emma Thompson's dress – although to be fair she often dresses like shit and it doesn't matter because she's perfect in every way.
Amy looks good, at least from the waist up which is all I can see right now.
TINA! Looks like a librarian. Don't care. Girl can do no wrong.ReplyCancel
Remember, Kelly has a twitter.ReplyCancel
Cate will be comforting Leo Nicholson at the after-party.ReplyCancel
There was a lot of red earlier, laura. Sounds like they're choosing"passion" colorsReplyCancel
I have to admit, I really liked Oprah in The Color Purple.ReplyCancel
Not Care, that's my classy 'boo 😀
She has it going on!
Back just for a tick … to let you know that Aaron Paul has brought his sister, not his wife, to the Awards … his sister is hoping to see Bradley Cooper tonight! So fancy that!
I must say … I'm not a fan of her … but Amy Adams looks gorgeous. Is wearing an off-the shoulder (one shoulder only) indigo gown and has her hair pulled back into a chignon. Definitely one of the best dressed.ReplyCancel
Spellczheck! Cate!ReplyCancel
Good, i like Amy. I Want her to make a good showing. She is very underutilized in 'WeirdReplyCancel
It would be funny as hell if they Color co-ordinated everyone…
Puce wait with green, you're next!
I don't know why Noone comments on Rob Lowe's shark mouth. That plastic hack screwed him there and no one notices that his upper lip lost its bow…ReplyCancel
I have a date night, so I'm oot too, y'all have fun now!ReplyCancel
Dunno, Kerri. She does miss sometimes.
Eric Stonestreet!
JLaw! Sort of like the dress – can't see the whole thing. Damn she's thin, you can hardly see her sideways. She should lay off the coke. Not loving the earrings. Oooh, she watched Charlize WHEN SHE WAS YOUNG. Diss diss diss.
Armpit vaginas? Okay. Giving the crew the business over the last week. Oh well – she's still awesome.
Still hate Cate's dress. It's unusual for her to swing and miss like this. G makes a pass. Cate handles it beautifully. Cate is awesome.
Kevin Spacey in the background. Oh now he's in the foreground.
House of Cards is so fab. Hate the face scruff.ReplyCancel
It gets to me that women get the knife AND the microscope while men get Vaseline on the lensReplyCancel
Have fun TTM, don't fall off the table!ReplyCancel
I can promise nothing, Steampunk!ReplyCancel
I'm back, but will leave the running commentary as there are heaps of others here now 🙂
@Betty K – I concur – they need to get Catt Sadler and Kristina Guerrero to do a few of these. And no Ross and Kelly thanks – both are very silly. Kelly was just about screaming with excitment before about something (couldn't see the TV from where I was, but could hear her).ReplyCancel
They are obviously going cheap with RancidReplyCancel
I hate how G is so over-familiar with people – her greeting to Sandra Bullock 'what's up girl?' … Nancy O'Dell from ET can get away with that as a lot of celebs are her personal friends, but not G.
Sandra's dress looks a bit school ball ish. Gorgeous hair and makeup though.
I never realised how thin Jennifer Garner was before – muscly, but also thin, if you get what I mean (she had a sleeveless dress on). I don't rate her as an actress or personality though (smiles through gritted teeth).ReplyCancel
Caley Kuoco Sweeting's kiss with her husband just then looked very forced on her part … she reminds me very much of Amanda Bynes pre- her meltdown.ReplyCancel
That's awesome Stepper,that you did this earlier…just sit back and enjoy the show….and thanks alotReplyCancel
Bwahahaha love all your responses, Seven! 🙂ReplyCancel
Julia's been hitting the bottle …
That was funny how the fence thing fell over and the fans came crashing into Julia … she was probably squirming at catching 'common peoples' germs' …
Julia's wearing a jump suit … it looks okay but it's not great … it's missing something … needs something in the middle …
Julia loves Jason Kennedy, apparently …
And G is being over-familiar again … *sigh*ReplyCancel
Owww ninotchka! Buuuuurrrrnnnn!on wassername=-OReplyCancel
Oh Gawd … Emma Thompson … far out she's an annoying old batReplyCancel
Meryl Streep disappoints me … she always wears this same style dress (black; off the shoulder; long sleeves), and hair style (half-pinned at the back) … I wish she'd do something just a teeny bit different. Even different coloured glass frames would be neat.ReplyCancel
I'm glad nobody else liked Cate's dress … first time EVER I've seen her look awful. It would have been better without those weird flappy things at the front.ReplyCancel
Julia – is she pregnant? Is that just a gut? In either case, she should not be wearing a pink jumpsuit. Oh, she's pretending she cares about the people who might have gotten hurt knocking over that barrier. As if.
EMMA! Terrible dress. Great flats. Amusing comments. Love love love.
Oh Meryl, wearing her usual sack. Did the Devil Wears Prada teach her NOTHING? I suppose it doesn't matter when you're Meryl fucking Streep.
Chris Cooper – I'd still hit it.
Benedict Cumberbatch – I can never quite decide if I'd hit it. Sometimes I would, sometimes I wouldn't.ReplyCancel
Meryl keeps trying to look staid and respectable and instead looks frumpy.ReplyCancel
I've only seen G use the manicam once … she's gonna be in SO much trouble with her producers …
Mariah looks fat …ReplyCancel
… and Mariah is wearing those stupid fingerless gloves … yuck!
Jennifer Lawrence is re-doing her red carpet posing – looks so bored.ReplyCancel
Is Kelly high or drunk? Gawd she's annoying …ReplyCancel
@Betty K – really? That's too bad … sucky movies are the worseReplyCancel
Time for a new post, Enty!
Oh Mariah – WTF with the old lady half gloves. She's not Vadge quite yet. Why is she clutching that hood ornament in front of her tits? Oh well, nevermind, it's MC.
Oh dear, Kelly and her dress that would look good on someone else.
Cate's their fave of the night? Fucking blind ass-kissers.
It doesn't matter how much weight Kelly Osbourne loses, she still looks fat. I don't get that because I'm sure she's NOT fat. It's weird.ReplyCancel
If anyone wants a scorecard of the event www.sagawards has all the nominee/categories.ReplyCancel
Thanks lauraReplyCancel
Gr and her make up artist Catalina su and her assistant pride themselves on being skinny. The call people fat and are the chicks at the restaurant that come from the bathroom smelling like vomit. Catalina is Korean….I love they way GR saw Angelina with her son at a premiere..two days later ohhhhhhh wow Catalinas son is GR god child and walking the red carpet with her!!!! Right check out Catalina's blog about fashion and makeup……right it's all about her stalking GR and that hideous brown smokey eye look.ReplyCancel

By HARRIET BISHOP
I had one of my very favorite drinks the other day, a hot fudge malt. Oh, there is nothing like a malt, or malted as we use to call them back in the olden days when the dinosaurs were on the earth. The only way you could get a "Malted" was to go to a drug store with a fountain in it. Now I don't mean a water fountain cascading down the side of a mountain. I mean a fountain where you could get an ice cream soda and you sit on a stool at a counter and eat your ice cream in a dish. Back in those days stores had signs out front that advertised a "fountain" in them. Walgreen's had them in Salt Lake until just a few years ago.
About 25 years ago, Castle Dale had it's own fountain. I believe it was called Hunter's Drug Store. After that it was called Conovers. Anyway it was located on the corner of Main and 100 East right across from the Court House. You could order a sandwich at these fountains but the main attraction was ice cream. Fast Food was unheard of. The only way you could take your ice cream with you was in a cone and you had to wrap up your sandwich in your napkin. You were suppose to eat it there not take it with you.
Malteds came in three flavors, chocolate, strawberry and vanilla. That was your choice. Anything else was unheard of. Hot fudge malts didn't come along until much much later. The reason for a hotfudge malt? More chocolate! Yummmmm.
Sitting at the fountain was part of the experience. The "soda jerk," named because he jerked the soda and ice cream into the glass containers, would take a tall metal container looking somewhat like a glass into one hand. With the other he would scoop the ice cream into the container with a lot of panache. To that he would add chocolate syrup from the special pump, a certain amount of milk and two teaspoons of malt to finish it off. Then he would attach it to the special mixer.
You could sit and watch it mix in the mixer just anticipating the taste. If you knew him well, you could order an extra thick malted which meant he would add more ice cream and less milk. If you were a regular you could ask for extra malt in your malted.
Then just when you thought you couldn't wait another minute for the mixer to stop, he would swoop over and release the container and pour it into a long, tall, clear fountain glass.
Add a spray of whip cream and a cherry on top and put a big old straw into it and a spoon with a long handle on it and set it in front of you. If he was really a great soda jerk he would leave the metal container that the malt was mixed in next to you so you could get at least another third of the malt that was left in the container. That was the best part of the malt. That was the very best of all. To be able to pour the last of your malt into your glass all by yourself and savor the clumps of ice cream in the bottom. Wow! You see it was the entire experience that made the malt so good.
Now days you order a malt and they throw it into a paper glass. Some people that make them don't even know the difference between a malt and a shake. The difference-the malt of course, a shake has none. You can always tell the person now days who doesn't know how to make a malt. It comes out thin and tasteless. They shove it at you through a window, stick a plastic spoon into the center and then crowd a spoon also into the opening. No special experience or anticipation required.
However, the other day I had a very gooooood malted. It was bought for me at Critter Country and it was exceptional, paper cup and all.
So hats off to the person behind the counter who made that malt. You knew what you were doing. Thanks. It was thick and chocolate and had malt in it and it tasted terrrrific. It brought back memories.
When I was a little girl. My Dad used to treat the whole family to a treat and he would get a big gallon jar and take me with him and we would go to the drug store and he would order five or six malteds, all of them chocolate, and have the soda jerk pour the malteds into the gallon jar and we would hurriedly drive home with them and share them at home.
We had no paper cups to carry them home. Those were special summer days. Our own version of fast food.
Well, that is my world. Until next time remember those infamous words of Harriet Bishop. "Take the utmost care to do the very best you can when you make something for someone. You never know what kind of a memory trip it can take them on."

The Final Kent Years brings to a close Ace's three-volume presentation of the complete 60s and 70s recordings waxed by Lowell Fulson for the Bihari brothers' Los Angeles-based Kent and Big Town labels. Black Nights (CDCHD 804) traced this memorable alliance from its 1964 beginning with those well-crafted early blues singles. There was much contribution from manager-songwriter Ferdinand "Fats" Washington together with West Coast R&B icon Maxwell Davis, who was in his final glory as arguably LA's greatest studio force in his field. The 'Tramp' Years (CDCHD 755) continued through Lowell's rejuvenation on the charts as a funkster and link in the musical food chain to hip-hop. Here, The Final Kent Years reprises Lowell's last two albums for the family combine, his last Kent single and three more recently unearthed tunes.
The first major component of the set is the "Now!" LP, which made a typical Bihari trek through a series of cheapie labels after its Kent debut. This album largely takes us to the end of Lowell's main run with the company in 1968. Though "Now!" attracted no great notice at the time, and it was Lowell's only Kent LP not framed around a hit, it holds up very well. The brassy, ornate tracks have energetic performances by Lowell as big as the orchestrations-.-the stripped-down outings show Lowell close to his roots with frequent gospel tinges-.-his take on the covers is fresh and spirited. Throughout, the recently resurgent Arthur Adams's outstanding input as a guitarist, and as co-author of the shuffling dance anthem Push Me (probably a reflection of Adams's time on the Dallas "Push club" circuit that spawned Anson Funderburgh), takes the proceedings to another level. Five worthy loose ends from the period, including the last Kent single, provide a point of departure for the nine-year gap (with stints at Jewel and Granite) before Lowell's return to the Bihari fold.
"Lovemaker" was the one-off product of a February 1978 outing under the auspices of indie vet George Mottola. It originally appeared, like "Now!", to no discernible fanfare, on Big Town. While probably a low budget project of modest pretensions and not an essential in many LP piles, "Lovemaker" is nonetheless a good, solid, straight-ahead blues excursion. The band is basic and Lowell gets a goodly share of the guitar spotlight. Amid some standards which underscore Lowell's longtime affinity for Tampa Red, Lowell's originals tend toward midtempo blues, notably Bending Like A Willow Tree (covered by Albert Collins) and My Mind Is Trying To Leave Me, attributed to Lowell and his good friend Percy Mayfield and also revived by Collins.
Lowell went on to cut a number of fine albums for American, Canadian and European labels before his death at Long Beach CA on 7 March 1999. With these three Ace CDs, we have his 1964-78 Bihari catalogue to revisit with unprecedented depth, sound quality and convenience. It represents as full a spectrum as any such teaming could of the dimensions of Lowell Fulson's blues mastery, surrounded by quality writers, producers, arrangers and musicians. The association ranks with Lowell's most definitive and successful epochs, prolific and, in bursts, profitable. The Final Kent Years rounds out four hours of some of the most elemental and enjoyable reminders of what a resilient, flexible and passionately expressive great Lowell Fulson was.

"Everything else was great, and I love the feather detailing, however, the toe strings are way too stiff that it hurts to walk in them. I don't know if they'll become less of a discomfort if I am able to wear them out more..."

text: I did a yahooo answers poll "Which do you look forward to more? halloween or Christmas?" and 66 percent answered yes or definitely to christmas while the rest said "both" which means none indicated 'only' halloween and all were in favor of christmas. another poll indicates 80 percent for christmas and 20 percent for halloween. this explains why plenty of stores like sears, lowes, canadian tire, rona, bombay ect skip much or all of halloween while, those that do do halloween never skip christmas although that is obvious.

Food and drink
Québecers have always placed great importance on fine dining. Discover the real Québec through its culinary traditions and the terroir specialties of local producers!
Dining out
Québecers adore good food, just as they adore gathering around a restaurant table with family or friends. And the selection is mind-boggling: local specialties, ethnic cuisine, self-serve health food, gourmet creations, fast food, family fare… Whatever your budget and tastes, there's something for everyone. One thing never varies, though: the warm welcome you'll receive!
To vary your menu, try one of the following: a bring-your-own-wine establishment (marked Apportez votre vin), a Montréal food truck, a weekend brunch or even a dinner cruise!
Local specialties
Proud of a culinary tradition unique in North America, Québec is justly famous for its many terroir products. Craft beers, artisanal wines, ice ciders, terrines, cheeses, jams: when it comes to food, the imaginations of Québec's local producers know no bounds!
A culinary legacy
New France's first inhabitants ate hearty meals to cope with the rigours of everyday life—not to mention the climate! A distinct brand of home cooking evolved over the centuries, creating such Québec classics as tourtière (meat and pork pie), cipaille (a layered meat pie), fèves au lard (baked beans), cretons (pork spread), tarte au sucre (sugar pie) and galettes de sarrasin (buckwheat cakes). While most of these items no longer appear on the daily menu, many are still served on special or seasonal occasions.
A few gourmet pleasures
- Gulf of St. Lawrence seafood, smoked fish, farmed game
- Îles de Sorel-style gibelotte (stew),
- Lac Saint-Jean soupe aux gourganes (broad bean soup)
- Ice cider, artisanal wine, craft beers
- Maple syrup, taffy, butter and sugar
Poutine, a typical Québécois dish, is a mix of French fries and curd cheese drizzled in gravy. It's served in fast food restaurants—but be sure you're ravenous before you order! Today, the burgeoning popularity of this unofficial national dish has given rise to a whole range of variants.
Farm tourism
A farm tour is a chance to meet real, down-to-earth Québecers with a vast knowledge of their region. Happy to show off the fruits of their labours in the fields, pastures, orchards, vineyards or sugar bushes, they'll also be pleased to let you in on some of the tricks of their trade.
Over 700 agricultural producers welcome visitors to their production sites. With the range of options available—tastings, picnics, guided tours, children's activities, horse-drawn cart or sleigh rides, country meals and more—you can really tailor the outing to your taste!
The highly popular pick-your-own format lets you play at foraging as you choose the fruits or vegetables you find most appetizing in a tranquil country setting. Strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, apples, pears or pumpkins: they're all ripe for the picking!
A few gourmet experiences
- Farm tourism routes
- Establishments certified by Terroir et saveurs du Québec: Tables champêtres (Country-style Dining), Tables aux saveurs du terroir (Terroir Restaurants), Fermes découverte (Farm Explorations) and Relais du terroir (Farm Shops)
A must-see in early fall is the spectacular cranberry harvest, when the little red berries float atop the flooded fields.

The Worst That Could Happen? Going Blind, People Say
February 20, 2017,
Absence of thirst is a lack of the urge to drink fluids, even when the body is low on water or has an excess amount of salt.
Adipsia; Lack of thirst; Absence of thirst
Not being thirsty at times during the day is normal, if the body does not need fluid replacement. But if you have a sudden change in the need for fluids, you should visit your health care provider right away.
As people age, they are less likely to notice their thirst and may not drink fluids when needed.
Absence of thirst may be due to:
Follow your health care provider's recommendations.
Call for an appointment with your health care provider if you notice any abnormal lack of thirst.
The health care provider will take a medical history and perform a physical examination.
Medical history questions may include:
The physical examination may include a detailed nervous system examination if the health care provider suspects a head injury or problem with the hypothalamus. Diagnostic tests will vary depending on the history and physical examination findings.
Based on your evaluation and any tests, your health care provider will recommend treatment if needed.
If you are dehydrated, fluids will likely be given through a vein (IV).

STARTING POSITION: Position the cable handles approximately level with the top of your head and grasp each handle firmly. Stand tall in a split-stance position with one foot forward of the other. Brace your abdominal muscles to stabilize your spine. Pull the shoulder blades down and back. Do not allow the back to arch. Maintain these engagements throughout the exercise.
Press both arms down and in front of your body to a level just below your chest until your elbows are straight. In a slow and controlled manner, slowly open your arms upward and outward to your sides. Maintain a slight bend in your elbows, with your wrists in a straight line with your forearms. Do not allow your hands to move behind your armpit.
Exhale. Slowly squeeze your chest muscles to pull your arms forward until your hands meet below the level of your chest. Maintain the slight bend in your elbows, with your wrists in a straight line with your forearms. Your trunk should be vertical throughout the movement.
Return to your starting position, opening your arms out and back in a slow, controlled manner. Maintain the slight bend in your elbows, neutral wrist position and vertical alignment of your trunk throughout the movement. Repeat.
Exercise Variation: This exercise can be progressed in several ways including:
Avoid the tendency to lean forward during this exercise as this increases the stress within the shoulder joint, which happens frequently when the resistance used is too heavy. To protect your shoulders from potential injury, lower the resistance, align your trunk vertically and follow the instructions provided.

Getting close and hit him with a rasen-shuriken.
That should do the job.
Awesome, just awesome
Awesome, just awesome
two words. SPIRIT BOMB! Naruto's rasen-shuriken is just like the spirit bomb. now that he can absorb natural energy he can make a bigger rasen-shuriken. there's no way to dodge a spirit bomb.
Naruto will be able to keep up with Pain and his ability to look from all six set of eyes. Whereas Pain has that ability, Naruto can constantly Kage Bunshin to:
1. gather info when he cancels the technique or the clone dies
2. will have his own set of extra eyes numbering 1-1000
3. can take on all six at the same time, the disadvantage Jiraiya had at the time.
You never know the value of things that are precious to us... until they are taken.
How can Naruto win over Pain? By introducing Pain to a nice, hot bowl of Ichirakku Ramen (or however you spell it). Pain will enjoy it so much, he'll immediately switch sides, and join Naruto.
Naruto will most likely summon Pa & Ma frog to go into sage mode. He will be backed up by high knowledge high experience and high level of jutsu's.
Naruto's That Jutsu better be one hell of a jutsu.
Agreed he's not alone, but neither was Hanzou. We all know that Naruto will win out in the end with the help of his freinds, it's just hard to see how at this point.
Another thought (if wishes were horses):
I'm looking/ hoping for Kakashi and Yamato to take out one Pain body, Gai and Lee and Neji to take another, Tsunade to kill one, Gara arrives in time to kill one, and Naruto's that jutsu kills two. then Neji will smoke out Nagato with Byakugan. I'm guessing Madara stands by and let's Nagato go down (probably hates Pain's guts anyway).

I am not perfect and I defy you to prove otherwise
Growing Old Gracefully is an Oxymoron ... Mostly Moron !
right now naruto can't win in a one-on-one battle ( well effectively its a six-on-one)

Surprise! Cody Hodgson to Centre the Third-Line Against Chicago
Thomas Drance
April 11 2011 03:17PM
Cody Hodgson hasn't played an NHL game since February 26th (a 3-1 loss to Boston), however, it looks like he'll start the Playoffs as the Canucks' third-line centre.
Before his career was side-tracked by a freak back-injury, that was misdiagnosed, and cost him the lion's share of the 09-10 season – Cody Hodgson was one of the most highly regarded prospects in the game. And why not? At every level he's had team success, individual success, captained teams and put up impressive point totals.(*) He marries an elite skill level with a fierce competitive streak and, despite quesitons about his skating(**), Hodgson is said to have "intangibles" galore, whatever that means. Yet when it was observed today at the Canucks team practice that Hodgson was centering the Canucks third line – and was likely to start the series against the Blackhawks in that role – it was, without a doubt, a massive surprise.
(*) In 2008-09 he averaged 1.76 points per game and added five goals and eleven assists in six games at the World Jr. Championships.
(**) Writes Justin Bourne, who knows a thing or two about skating: "Cody Hodgson skates a little wide. It's not the worst thing in the world, but he doesn't bring his skates all the way back under his body, which makes for a shorter, less efficient stride"
Among Canucks fans and the media - there has been a lot of hand-wringing about Hodgson's performance and usage this season. He's only played 8 NHL games (scoring a lovely goal and adding an assist on a goal that shouldn't have counted) and was used sparingly. He was miscast in a checking role on the fourth-line, and he averaged only 7:45 TOI per game. He was also utilized in front of the net on the 2 nd unit power-play, as opposed to playing on the side boards in a playmaking role. Though he battled admirably in front of the net – as anyone who watched him dominate in junior, or set up beauty goals like this one at the World Championships can tell you – placing him in a 'net-presence' role neutered the impact he could make with his passing, his most well developed skill. Clearly he was not being put in a position to succeed with the big club in Vancouver.
With the exception of the month of November(**) Cody Hodgson hasn't exactly lit up the AHL either. He dealt with another freak injury, courtesy an errant stick in practice from Lee Sweatt that sapped his momentum. In 52 games with the Moose, Hodgson scored 17 goals and 13 assists, while posting a minus 12. The stats don't tell the whole story – he averaged 3 shots a game, and shot a respectable 10.2%, so he was more productive than his stats might indicate – but they don't exactly inspire confidence.
(**) In November Cody Hodgson put up 11 points (4G, 7A) and a +8 in 11 games.
What is particularly surprising about Hodgson's playoff assignment, is that he hasn't seen any NHL time whatsoever since Malhotra's ghastly eye injury. In fact his last NHL game was in late February. Since Manny went down, the Canucks have auditioned the following players for the third line centre role, without giving Hodgson so much as a sniff: Alexandre Bolduc, Mason Raymond, Jannick Hansen and Maxim Lapierre. As recently as March 28 th – Tony Gallagher wrote " there is the belief in the organization that [Hodgson] hasn't demonstrated he's ready to play up here. "
So what has changed? Why didn't we see Hodgson get a test run filling Malhotra's role to finish the regular season? Cap-space probably played a role, but in the window between Malhotra's injury and Edler's return – surely the Canucks could have fit $800,000 under the cap!
Interestingly, a knowledgeable Canucks fan who tweets at @shaneMYT asked Jason Botchford of the Province whether or not we'd see Cody Hodgson in the playoffs. Botch's answer: "N o. Coach has zero interest in that. The management disagrees, so there's a chance." File that under things that make you go hmm. Is this a case of Gillis over-ruling his head-coach? I'll be very interested in seeing if Hodgson actually starts – and, more importantly finishes – game one of the Blackhawks series as the teams third-line centre.
In my University days I used to venture from Bay and Charles in Toronto, to Brampton, in order to watch the Duschene/Hodgson version of the Battalion play - so I've long been a Hodgson cheer-leader. I'm excited to see him get a real chance in the postseason, and am confident he can perform at an acceptable level. I'm also curious to see how a third-line made up of Hodgson, Hansen and Raymond are deployed by Vigneault. Certainly they are unlikely to fill the "enabler" role of the Malhotra led third-line. The Canucks new look third-line will probably be a modified unit - not quite a scoring unit, and not quite a checking unit. My guess is they'll be used primarily to forecheck, and hopefully use their speed to generate some issues for Chicago's third pairing. I'd be very surprised to see a Hodgson led third-line take many defensive zone face-offs against Chicago, so expect Kesler to play the bulk of the difficult minutes in the postseason.

Hi Everyone,
Was planning my decorations this year so make it enchanting for my little girl (she will be 11 months at Christmas) and i realised my tree is going to go over within 5 mins of Amy setting her sights on it. I normally put it on a coffee table but im thinking of putting it on the floor so i might drag rather than fall? How do you deal with little children with inquisitive hands? Or any ideas? Cant put furniture in front of it.

Special Meals&heuip;Every Day
My mom, Sharon L. (right), has always made mealtime special…and not just on Sundays. She puts thought, time and effort into each and every meal she prepares.
She loves to entertain, especially at Christmas. When company is coming, Mom will spend the whole day in the kitchen. She'll serve a four-course meal with appetizers, soup or salad, main course and dessert. Everything has to be perfect…right down to the presentation. The dining room table always looks beautiful with a tablecloth, centerpiece, candles and her good dishes.
When it's a special occasion—a birthday, graduation, anniversary, etc.—the person who is special that day can put in a menu request with Mom. If it's someone in the family, he or she also gets to eat off the "red plate," which says, "You are special today." Last Christmas, Mom even gave each of us kids a red plate so we can carry on the tradition with our own families.
Birthday Menu
My mom's best meal, I think, is the one my sister, Kristin, chose for her birthday: Puff Pastry Salmon Bundles, Comforting Broccoli Casserole, Strawberry Spinach Salad and Ice Cream Cookie Dessert.
The Puff Pastry Salmon Bundles make any menu elegant. The crisp pastry and delicious cucumber sauce are a wonderful combination, and the salmon almost melts in your mouth.
Her Comforting Broccoli Casserole is not only flavorful but nutritious, too. And the Strawberry Spinach Salad is a refreshing, colorful toss with a fruity raspberry vinaigrette.
Our entire family loves dessert, so we can't wait to see what Mom prepares as a finishing touch. Her yummy Ice Cream Cookie Dessert is a real favorite…even during cold winter months.
School Days
My mother grew up in Milwaukee and learned to cook from her mom, who was also a wonderful cook. She met my dad, Richard, when they were in the fourth grade! She was a stay-at-home mom when my sister, brother and I were young. My mother now teaches fourth grade and is the assistant principal at an area elementary school. My dad is an executive director of three Lutheran schools.
When Mom cooked for our family of five, she always made too much food—and she still does. Now that our family is larger, though, she can send food home with each of her children.
My sister, who's an attorney, is married, as is my brother, Bryan, who's a CPA. He and his wife have a 2-year-old daughter, Calla—my mom's only grandchild. I've been dating my boyfriend, Luke, for 4 years and teach kindergarten at the same school where my mom teaches. It's a privilege to work with her each day.
Everyone in our family gets along extremely well, and we sincerely value spending time together. The guys like to golf or attend football games together, while we girls like spending the day at the mall or in the spa. Of course, each week we make a point of joining together for Sunday dinner.
Dinner begins with a prayer and then a big toast to my mom for another wonderful meal. I know you'll enjoy this menu of hers as much as we do.

By PATSY STODDARDEditor
A commemoration program was held on Aug. 1 to remember the life of Montell Seely. Montell was the founder of the Castle Valley Pageant. The program of music and tributes was held at the Castle Valley Pageant site overlooking Emery County. A large group of friends and family members gathered to celebrate the life of Montell. The current pageant president is Mark Justice and he conducted the program. Jeff and Joyce Guymon sang the National Anthem. The opening prayer was given by son-in-law to Montell, Kyle Beagley. The Guymons sang, God Bless America.
The first tribute was given by Lee Jeffs, long time friend of Montell's. Jeffs said, "Montell was a man of vision. No doubt when he came upon this hill he had thoughts that the rest of us didn't have. This pageant has been a great thing for this valley. The prophets lived to old ages and the three Nephites are still walking around and are really old, but I think Montell was about 170 years old.
"In 2001 Montell went to Nauvoo. He wanted to help labor to rebuild the Nauvoo Temple. His hands were there doing that, but his heart was there in 1842. In 1997, Montell went to Nauvoo with a hand cart. He was pushing and pulling and his heart was in 1847. Thirty years ago he hiked on this hill and looked around. He put pen to paper and made a script, but his heart was in 1877 when the pioneers first came into this valley. Montell was placed here on earth to teach and if we would have listened more we would have learned a lot more. Someone said once, 'If you don't know where you've been, then how can you know where you're going.' Well, Montell knew where he had been. I've been involved with the pageant for the last 30 years except for the first year or two. It's been a wonderful experience. Sometimes, I've been on stage and sometimes off stage. Montell was always behind the scenes working to make this a better pageant and doing everything he could.
"What a tremendous thing this has been for our family. Our five children grew up doing the pageant. Pam and I grew old doing the pageant. When our family gets together, someone will always quote some lines from the pageant. 'She gets a little balky sometimes or 'She's out there falling in love with the countryside.' I spent a lot of time with Montell, up here at the pageant site and other places, punching cows, pack trips, camping and parades. We were in a lot of parades together. It's been a tremendous opportunity to be a part of the wonderful life that Montell led. He crammed 170 years into his 74 years on earth. He accomplished more than most people do in three lifetimes. I am grateful for the vision and what he taught and I am grateful for the gospel," said Jeffs.
Kenneth Christiansen said he first became interested in the pageant after a time when he was at an event where Montell came by and was giving hay rides. Christiansen went home and took some old harnesses out of the shed and began to try to hook them together. Montell put an interest there.
Christiansen came to the pageant and said it was too long and they sang too much. But, he became involved in the pageant during the 80s. He started loading the bell and bringing it up the hill to where it was placed in the bell tower. They don't do that part of the pageant any more, because the bell was pretty heavy. After getting the bell in place then, Ken would give wagon rides and this was the beginning of the present day pioneer village which is presented before each pageant showing. Montell had the inspiration to do a pioneer village and get the people who came to see the pageant involved in some hands on activities. Some people claim their favorite part of the pageant is the pioneer village. "My kids grew up doing the pageant. There are four generations in the pageant from our family," said Ken. He told of going to the hole in the rock area where Montell had been on a handcart trek, They found the tree that Montell had used to fix a handcart and they cut the tree down and hauled it home to Montell. "I want to thank Montell for all the work he has done for Emery County. In talking to people they will always tell you in some way they are related to Montell. I think we are all related to Montell," said Ken.
Mark Seely, Montell's son spoke next saying his father was always busy, he never once woke up and said, 'Well, I don't know what we're going to do today.' He always had a plan. "He could work me into the ground. He worked from sun up to sun down. Each summer he would work to get the pageant site ready. The sets for the scenes in the pageant were made out of plywood and each winter these would blow down the hill, so I had to go down and bring them back up. Dad decided we needed a real set and real buildings. He wanted to make the set permanent. He would say we want to give the people more than just a night of entertainment. We want them to have an experience, both physical and spiritual. We began with the dugout and the rock building. We gathered large piles of stones. It was no small task. It was my job as a 12 year old boy to mix the mud. I had a recipe of sand, gravel, and cement mix and water. My arms ached. It was not a fun job," said Seely.
Mark also told of other days at the pageant site where he grew weary from the work there and he wondered if they could go home. His Dad would tell him, that he could walk home at any time. But, Mark didn't ever walk home. He stayed at the pageant site with his Dad and he learned perserverance and any job worth doing is worth doing right.
Mark told the tale of a runaway asphalt smoother when they put asphalt down at the pageant site and how Montell moved out of the way just in time to avoid being run over by the machine. Mark ran to his Dad and gave him a big hug and told him how glad he was that he hadn't been run over. Mark told of the accomplishments his Dad had made in the next 16 years and how he was preordained to do many things. "We ought to live worthy so God can work with us and perform the work that's available to us," said Mark. He finished his remarks with the prayer that Joe offers from the pageant when he loses his baby to sickness. The group sang three songs including High on a Mountain Top, Called to Serve and Carry On. Montell's grand-daughter, Kari Thalman sang Shenandoah and The Lord is My Shepherd. Justice said that Montell was thrifty, hardworking and persistent. He remembers last summer they were pouring concrete for the cast room and they met at the pageant site at 5:30 a.m. because they weren't ready for the cement which was coming at 10 a.m. They got everything ready for the cement and then Montell offered them some warm water and day old twinkies he got out of the trunk of his car. "It was one of the best treats, I ever had. Montell worked beside us all day and he didn't wear gloves. He didn't stop all day. Any time there was a project at the pageant site, Montell was there. He put his shoulder to the wheel and got things done. At the time the church missionary department decided to hold the pageant once every two years, then Montell wrote a letter to the brethren. It was a great letter. I just loved him. We became good friends and I really miss him," said Justice.
Julie Johansen Love spoke next. She said she was honored to speak about a man who did so much for our valley. She remembered square dancing with Montell and Kathryn after she was first married. She said Montell always returned to the Castle Valley. Montell had a great love for his ancestors and helped fulfill the prophecy of turning the hearts of the children to the fathers and the hearts of the fathers to the children. The pageant has been a wonderful blessing to her family and she watched her children grow up while doing the pageant.
Julie said there were many things to work out over the years with the pageant. But, once she found Montell sitting on the hill crying happy tears and he thought the pageant was going to work, it had been born, so to speak. He told cast members it was their job to help the active have a spiritual experience. The pageant is a place to fellowship and inspire others. The missionary department encouraged the cast members in their costumes to walk among the audience members and greet them. This was a wonderful thing to do, Montell encouraged Julie, because Julie and others were hesitant to do so. But, it has turned out to be an enjoyable part of the pageant for the cast and audience members alike.
"Montell received many promptings to get us where we are today. The pageant site selection, the writing of the script. We are thankful he had Kathryn to help ensure the script was grammatically correct. I have so many memories of Montell and I can see him at various places on this pageant site. I see him driving the wagon with the white cover at the end. I see him in the scene where he shakes his boot, but the scene I remember most is Kathryn bringing him his dinner and as she hands it to him he answers with, 'Thank you sweetheart,'" said Love.
President Allan Sharp shared a few words with the audience. He said it was a joy to be associated with Montell and the pageant. He said he too, loved the letter that Montell wrote. He enjoyed sitting back and listening to Montell on a trip they made to Salt Lake to talk to Gerald Lund of the missionary department.
"There has never been a man with such tenacity. I learned a lot from him. He lived great and he died great. We knew exactly what he stood for. Think about what this pageant has taught us. We have learned wonderful lessons. Joe and Tilda were people who really lived, real people who had a baby die. Even good people who follow the prophet are called upon to make sacrifices. We need to sacrifice even when it's hard. The story of John and Clara is about Montell's ancestors. Clara left a four bedroom house in Sanpete County to come to Emery County and she said, 'Damn a man who would bring a woman to this God forsaken land. I have grown to love this place. You have to work at it.' When Montell took the completed script to Sister Driggs, she told him there wasn't any romance in the story and you have to have romance to make a story complete. Montell answered her there wasn't any romance in Emery County, just blood, sweat and tears. The wonderful story of Abe and Neva teach the value of a temple marriage. Thanks again, Montell. The story of the Indian Chief and his desire to learn the gospel teaches us many things. Thanks Montell, this life is much better because of you working to make this pageant. Let's all strive to be more like Montell Seely, he was a great man," said Sharp
Sharp went on to say that in a few years, a monument will be erected to honor Montell on the pageant site, for now there is a bulletin board with some of Montell's history and photos.

"I really like the look of the leopard pattern on this shoe. They are not comfortable. I am keeping these because I can't find any other leopard shoe with the right pattern. I will probably have to buy a heal pad to put in the shoe because they do rub."

Fast-moving arena action
November 24 2008 03:41PM
So Kay-Z or someone else... Not entirely sure who has posted this alleged video rendering of the proposed Downtown Arena. I haven't yet been able to verify its authenticity, but here you have it: the possible, future home of the Mighty Oil.
What do you think, Nation? I mean, from what you can glean from the fast-moving, rocket-powered camera? Is this going to be a crown jewel for downtown or a massive white elephant?
Thanks to @mastermaq on Twitter for the link.
November 24 2008, 03:51PM
I'm going to have to say... that would be pretty awesome.
November 24 2008, 04:01PM
I'm assuming this was rendered by Gene Dub, the local architect (who also did City Hall, btw), given the watermark at the beginning of the .mov. So it seems legit!
That would look sweet, but it still doesn't account for downtown traffic? I think that's the biggest issue about a downtown arena.
November 24 2008, 04:12PM
Love it. I hope Kay-Z "builds dat shit yo"
November 24 2008, 04:35PM
Interesting that it isn't on 97st street in this rendering.
It's convenient that it's on 97th street. I like the skywalk over to the court house, I can go straight from the game to court house fight my parking ticket.
November 24 2008, 04:45PM
Wanye, it sure is on 97 street. It appears to sit between 96 street and 97 street and 102A ave and 103A ave. Just east of the law courts. just south of Brownlee Bldg and the Remand. Just south of the Police Station.
They must be expecting to arrest some people after games.
I hope it seats 21 000 plus. It's my guess that any new facility will have to be in service for a lot longer than facilities in other NHL cities. Rexall the Sequel; or RX2 must be ahead of the curve. I suggest extra big seats for the fatties and teleportation pods in the basement so lazy eastern UFA superstars will be willing to sign here.
That would look sweet, but it still doesn't account for downtown traffic? I think that's the biggest issue about a downtown arena.
By the year 2040(when this will be built at this pace) everyone will teleport to the games, what you should be worried about is arriving home with the proper body parts ;)
Looks sharp, build it now. The thing about the traffic isn't a big deal to me assuming that the LRT has adequate parking facilities. Definitely looks like the project KayZ has envisioned with the retail, residential & restaurant district.

I think its cool how its not just an arena but a big multiplex of shopping and commercial properties. After this is built I think I may retire from partying on Whyte and replace it for the new downtown.
November 24 2008, 05:19PM
Are those solar panels on the roof?
This is legit. There is a story to follow on City TV... Also apparently Stortini bumped into and injured Vishnovsky at practice. Does anyone know for how long?
November 24 2008, 05:55PM
Chris - I vaguely remember seeing somewhere that Gags and Vish would be back in for Wednesday.
What is the concern with downtown traffic? There is WAY more that 20,000 people who commute to and from work each day and barring stupidity, things work well on a daily basis. Seriously, how is this a concern for anyone? It's not like we are adding 20k to rush hour. Travel to and from Oiler games is during non-peak traffic time. Add the transit system that is already established and traffic is the absolute least concern of adding a downtown arena.
November 24 2008, 06:06PM
"The Edmonton Oilers received some good news from the infirmary as both Sam Gagner and Lubomir Visnovsky skate in Monday's practice and should be available for Wednesday's game against Los Angeles.
Both players hurt their legs in practices this past weekend, Gagner on Friday and Visnovsky on Saturday."
November 24 2008, 06:41PM
This is just tremendous. I consider this the new name of the arena.
It is on 97th? I must confess I was disoriented by the extreme speed of the clip
November 24 2008, 06:48PM
More info here: New concept for arena in the Quarters Downtown.
November 24 2008, 08:26PM
I think that's the ugliest arena I've ever seen, and yes, I'm including the Saddledome.
November 24 2008, 08:42PM
Sheesh, it's in the Sun too.
Gawd is that awful. That's Paris Hilton hungover without her makeup awful.
We'll be the laughingstock of the league. Are we trying to contact aliens or is that a giant snow cone?
And to have ice level above street level, how stupid and irresponsibly expensive is that?
November 24 2008, 11:47PM
i dont know why people are complaining about the appearance. i personally think it looks pretty cool - like a skeleton of a building surrounded by nice open 'new urbanism' store fronts. what do these people actually want it to look like - any good architectural critic has to back up what they do and do not like about it... if you don't like it how about explaining why. i think it would be sufficient to gentrify a frightening neighborhood into something nice to look at and possibly live in in addition to giving the city some kind of centre piece to expand and improve upon the looks of downtown. so what if it has a funnel shape, it is a hell of a lot better than looking like some stupid elipse sitting in the middle of a downtown core or a friggin saddle for that matter. it is different, it is brightly coloured (a plus in our winter climate as it provides something eye catching beyond concrete) and it would provide enough amenities to appease those that oppose the idea of a hockey-centric facility.
despite all this, i think the baccarat casino might fork over a large wad of cash (and given the current economic climate we may not see much from the municipal or provincial government to counter this) to put it on 104 near grant mac, which isn't a terrible place for it either.
Thinking outside of the box a bit - traffic wouldn't be an issue as the roads around it would be limited traffic, pedestrian roads. Even the City is trying to upgrade it's transit system to enable people to stop wanting to drive everywhere.
I like the idea of the trees & green spaces taking up what is now parking along 97th. The only question I have is where will the hookers hang out after the rink is built...
I think it looks great. Not sure about the colour of the arena portion, but if you look at the clip you can see that the "arena" portion is basically inserted into an all-glass frame which then covers inward looking retail store fronts. That makes it look like (and I hope) that there could be restos/bars in that "covered" area which would be open prior to the game where people could pre-game in climate controlled conditions and then just walk over to the door. In a perfect world, people could just walk from their offices downtown to the arena area, grab a bite and a beer in the area and then watch the game. Traffic would be lessened then as a good percentage of the people would already be downtown.
And I don't think the ice-level is above street-level, if you look when the rendering flies by, it appears the outdoor "concourse" ends with ice level right at grade.
Lord knows the ACC in Toronto is right downtown surrounded by condo towers with no reasonable parking and yet they fill it up with Laughs fans ever night.
Ok - just had another look, maybe the ice surface isn't at grade... which would be a bit weird. Hard to tell.
November 25 2008, 08:29AM
Yeah, I believe the ice surface is on the "3rd floor" along with houswares, electronics and ladies lingerie.
November 25 2008, 08:50AM
Ha ha... good one Towel Boy!!! I hope appliances are located on the 3rd floor so that Porky Penner will have a place to find a snack between periods!!!
The COPPER POT!
As a early 20s Oiler fan who lives downtown I would be extatic if this proposed plan went through. I love the location and I think the arena looks great. The current Rexall place is archaic and in a terrible location. I admit that increased traffic would be a huge problem, but with the upcoming LRT expansion perhaps the the increased traffic flow wouldnt be nearly as problematic as many are suggesting.
I also hope the new building's acoustics will be state of the art. Anyone who has been to a concert at the current Rexall (esp. a non hard rock show) knows just how awful the sound in Rexall can be.
November 25 2008, 11:45AM
[...] Using methods that we will chalk up to witchcraft, our very own DJ Spyn Cycle showed us all a proposed design for the arena by local architect Gene Dub... [...]
November 25 2008, 12:41PM
Where's the blue "flush" handle?
It is my understanding that the designer drew this up out of the goodness of his heart. The first thing that comes to mind {... after flushing and washing up... OK, I guess that makes it the third thing that comes to mind.;-)}...
You get what you pay for.
I say, "pass".
November 25 2008, 12:43PM
That thing is awful. But I like it.
Sorta like Brownlees facial hair lol.
November 25 2008, 05:23PM
"It is my understanding that the designer drew this up out of the goodness of his heart."
Sorry Louise. These 3-d renditions costs alot to produce, let alone develop the architectural plans in the first place. I don't think for a second that Gene Dub did this from an altruistic perspective. FYI - he owns the land that this proposal sits on. Its reportedly worth about $20 million.
November 25 2008, 06:31PM
Thank you, David. :-)
I knew that.
I don't visit here often, and rarely post. fwiw - I'm rather fond of painting pictures with but a few words, even tho clarity is often lost in the brush strokes. For future reference, feel free to proof my words for sarcasm and double entendres.

The anime has been diverging from the manga plot for a few episodes now. This should have come as no surprise. If you're still hoping for Claymore to be close to the manga, you might as well stop watching now because it definitely won't stop.
They most likely want to give the anime some sort of closure rather than just ending at the time jump, Berserk-style.
oh aiight...well this jus killed me...was hoping it would be longer :(
Well only one new chapter is released a month, and one episode a week (one episdoe more or less a full chapter)
The only choice for the anime is to stop and take a break, or start showing fillers.
hmm, I haven't seen it, but I'm guessing, with Raki showing up, the anime must be ending at 26 epi? or 25 sorry I dont remember.
yeah, it seems like it...they probably will stop it at epi 25(or 26)...and something tells me it is going to be a cliffhanger...I dont want it to end so soon :[
Maybe there will be a season 2 aswell...atleast I hope so :>
it's going to end at 26. from the way they are going, it is either going to end in a closure style, or it will redeem itself(not likely) by going almost back to the manga in plot. but yeah, i was pissed that they didn't have clare's arms awaken like in the manga. this is just so raki can get closer to her. i wonder how they're going to get jene out if she doesn't do what she did in the manga.
Oh wow who didn't see THAT coming. Seriously your idea of not watching the anime is great. Especially when there's three more episodes to go.
Jink's Manga Picks
Shamo || Vinland Saga || Mirai Nikki || Dangu || Tokyo Red Hood
WHF!!! Damn the anime of Claymore is starting to pissed me off.. Raki showed up and Clare 90% awakened form is not shown. I was hoping to see the awakened form with several weapons on clare. Damn, I think I can't watch it anymore. Maybe I'll just stick to manga.
whatttttttt!!!!!!!!!! raki showed up on clare vs ligardes??????? wtf!!!!!
OMG OMG, thats sooo making me not wanna watch the nime anymore, especially sine iev heard they also messed up clare's awakening

Women's National Volleyball Centre selected as a recipient of the 2010 WISE Fund
WINNIPEG- The Winnipeg based Women's National Volleyball Centre has recently been selected as one of the 12 recipients of the 2010 WISE (Women and Sport Encouragement) Fund.
The Women in Sport Encouragement (WISE) Fund was created by the Canadian Association for the Advancement of Women and Sport and Physical Activity (CAAWS) to help finance sport initiatives and assist members of the sport community in Canada. The annual grant is primarily to assist active women and/or organizations that are currently offering or creating sport programs targeted to girls and women.
The funding received from this award will be used to help finance a partnership between the Women's National Team athletes and the Big Brothers and Big Sisters of Winnipeg. Team Canada plans on using the 6 athletes currently training in the centre to run a clinic in April for approximately 20-25 youth. The purpose of this clinic is to expose the participants to volleyball and allow them the opportunity to meet and greet with some of Canada's best female volleyball players, which in turn could help increase their self-confidence and motivate them to potentially pursue the sport. Each participant will also receive a t-shirt and a volleyball, and enjoy some pizza with the national team athletes afterwards giving the girls a chance to mingle with the players and ask them questions they may have about how they got to where they are.
"Our team is so grateful that we were awarded this grant by the Women in Sport Encouragement Fund," stated Tonya Mokelki, one of the National Team athletes currently training in Winnipeg. "We hope it will help make a difference in the kids lives. We are excited to be a part of the Big Brothers and Big Sisters Organization and cannot wait to work with the kids in a sports setting. We are very happy be be able to help give back to the community that has done so much for our program and has supported us for so many years."
Plans are currently underway to coordinate this event for April 10, 2010. The Women's National Volleyball Centre hopes that this will be the first event of many in partnership with Big Brothers and Big Sisters of Winnipeg.

Power Authority "Returns" Historic
Lansing Manor
Steve Ramsey
printer-friendly version
June 8, 2002
NORTH BLENHEIM—A thoroughly restored and renovated
Lansing Manor House was symbolically returned to the public Saturday by
Eugene W. Zeltmann, president and chief executive officer of the New York
Power Authority, during ceremonies here at the historic site.
"When I first saw this house a couple of years ago, I
thought, 'What a remarkable place,'" said Zeltmann. "But the signs of wear
and tear had me worried. So, I made it a personal priority to get it fixed
up, while keeping all the historical flavor and authenticity. That's exactly
what this renovation—carried out with Governor Pataki's strong interest and
encouragement—has accomplished."
The manor house has been closed since the fall of 2000
for the $700,000 renovation, its second since 1971 when the Power Authority
acquired the house and the surrounding dairy farm as part of its development
of the Blenheim-Gilboa Pumped Storage Power Project.
"Lansing Manor is an important part of Schoharie
County's history and a link to our founders and New York's rural roots,"
said Senator James L. Seward. "The second renovation celebrated today is an
important step forward in preserving our past and keeping history alive for future generations. I applaud the
Power Authority for its work and effort in maintaining the historical and
structural integrity of Lansing Manor."
Assemblyman John J. Faso, said, "Through this
initiative and many other supportive works, the New York Power Authority
continues to demonstrate its commitment to the people of this state. Thank
you for helping preserve this piece of our rich, shared history as a
treasure for all to enjoy."
"I'm happy to be here representing the Schoharie County
Board of Supervisors," said Richard Hanson, the board's chairman. "Lansing
Manor is one of our real cultural gems. I am delighted with the improvements
the Power Authority has made to this great building and equally delighted to
be able to say 'thank you'."
Michael Breen, president of the Schoharie County
Historical Society, said "This is a great day for all of us engaged in
historic preservation in Schoharie County. The Power Authority and Gene
Zeltmann have assured the physical integrity and the historical accuracy of
the Manor House for generations to come."
Built in 1819, Lansing Manor was restored by the Power
Authority to reflect the lifestyles of the people who lived in the house
during its first 50 years. It was first opened to the public in 1977. Now
the manor house has undergone a second restoration to improve its historic
accuracy and add climate controls and better weather proofing to insure the
building maintains its structural and historical integrity.
"We made every effort, in all that we did, to use
materials and skills that were available when the house was built and to
blend the new with the old," said Zeltmann. "Fortunately, we were able to
draw on a group of skilled tradesmen and artisans—many from Central New
Together with the "newest" building on the site, an
1881 dairy barn, and an ice house, smoke house, tenant house and other
structures, Lansing Manor creates a world in which time has stood still,
evoking New York State's simpler, agrarian past. The dairy barn serves as
the Power Authority's visitors center for the Blenheim-Gilboa project.
The house is listed in the National Register of
Historic Places and is operated as a museum by the Power Authority in
conjunction with the Schoharie County Historical Society. Knowledgeable

Charlie and the Perplexing Temperature Billboard
RAY: This puzzler is from my Fahrenheit-Celsius series. It's from Mike Mercer, and I didn't really even have to obfuscate this at all! Here it is:
Charlie is heading off to work one fall morning and, as he does every morning, he passes a billboard that displays the current temperature in Fahrenheit in one corner, and the temperature in Celsius in the other corner.
He notices both temperatures, and thinks, 'It's a pretty nice day for late fall,' but, as the day progresses, a monstrous cold front hits town. On his way home, Charlie passes the temperature billboard again, and finds that the Fahrenheit temperature is now 36 degrees colder than it was that morning. So, when he drove in it was one temperature, and now it's that temperature minus 36.
But, when he looks at the Celsius temperature he's confused, because it reads exactly the same as it did that morning. Charlie figures that the display must be stuck, because it's certainly much colder on his ride home.
In fact, it was not stuck. But there was indeed something wrong with the Celsius sign.
What was the problem and how cold was it?
Think you know? Drop Ray a note!
