Raw pumpkin is one of my top ten all-time favorite smells. Each fall when I slice into my first pumpkin, alongside the sweet aroma of good, healthy dirt I catch whiffs of late autumn frosts, chimney smoke, Halloween, and football.
I've been carving jack-o-lanterns since forever, but regretfully, I'd never toasted pumpkin seeds until last year. It always seemed like too much work to separate them from their slimy strings, not worth the effort for a simple seed. But oh, was I mistaken. Not only are pumpkin seeds easy to gather, when lightly oiled, salted, and toasted, they are superior to any potato chip on Earth, rich and crunchy with a dry, nutty flavor like burnt popcorn. I ate my first batch in one shot, straight off the cookie sheet.
Both of these are pumpkins. The squat orange fellow is your traditional October door step variety, while the long green guy is a called a long pie. Grown for their narrow seed cavity, long pie pumpkins yield more flesh per pound than other varieties. Their seeds are fewer and easier to remove than those of jack-o-lantern and sugar pumpkins. Long pies are mostly green when harvested and turn orange as they ripen.
As you can see, the Long Pie is dense and the guts are easily scooped away. A good choice for baking, but I'm after seeds.
The small round pumpkin had a much larger cavity and held three times as many seeds.
To gather seeds for toasting, scoop all the pumpkin innards into a large bowl. Separate and discard any large stringy pieces (this is fun—pure preschool sensory joy). Cover the seeds with a few inches of cool water, and swish your hands around in the bowl. Most of the seeds will float to the surface; scoop them out onto a kitchen towel. Work the remaining seeds free of their strings. Discard the orange goop and rinse the seeds clean.
Dry seeds will toast faster, but drying them is not necessary. Some websites will tell you to use a blow dryer; I found this ineffective and I felt stupid doing it. Just pat the seeds as dry as you can, and toss them with enough olive oil to coat. Spread the seeds on a large baking sheet and season with sea salt, black pepper, chili pepper, cinnamon, or anything else that strikes your fancy. (I used a mixture of plain and smoked sea salt, and they were phenomenal.)
Toast the seeds at 300F for 5 minutes, then toss them. Keep checking on them and tossing every 5 minutes until they're light brown and beginning to smell wonderful. How long this will take depends on how wet your seeds were; mine were pretty wet and took about 35 minutes. Allow the seeds to cool on a paper towel for a few minutes before diving in. Just try to stop yourself from eating them all at once.
Your next project is to peel, chop, and cook the pumpkin, but you can do that after your snack.
These pumpkins together yielded a little more than 1 cup of seeds. Toasted pumpkin seeds keep up to one week in a sealed container.

Bronchitis is an inflammation of the lining of your bronchial tubes, which carry air to and from your lungs. People who have bronchitis often cough up thickened mucus, which can be discolored. Bronchitis may be either acute or chronic.
Often developing from a cold or other respiratory infection, acute bronchitis is very common. Chronic bronchitis, a more serious condition, is a constant irritation or inflammation of the lining of the bronchial tubes, often due to smoking.
Acute bronchitis usually improves within a few days without lasting effects, although you may continue to cough for weeks. However, if you have repeated bouts of bronchitis, you may have chronic bronchitis, which requires medical attention. Chronic bronchitis is one of the conditions included in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
For either acute bronchitis or chronic bronchitis, signs and symptoms may include:
If you have acute bronchitis, you may have a nagging cough that lingers for several weeks after the inflammation resolves. Chronic bronchitis is defined as a productive cough that lasts at least three months, with recurring bouts occurring for at least two consecutive years.
If you have chronic bronchitis, you're likely to have periods when your signs and symptoms worsen. At those times, you may have acute bronchitis on top of your chronic bronchitis.
See your doctor if your cough:
Acute bronchitis is usually caused by viruses, typically the same viruses that cause colds and flu (influenza). Antibiotics don't kill viruses, so this type of medication isn't useful in most cases of bronchitis.
The most common cause of chronic bronchitis is smoking cigarettes. Air pollution and dust or toxic gases in the environment or workplace also can contribute to the condition.
Factors that increase your risk of bronchitis include:
Although a single episode of bronchitis usually isn't cause for concern, it can lead to pneumonia in some people. Repeated bouts of bronchitis may indicate that you're developing chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
You're likely to start by seeing your family doctor or a general practitioner. If you have chronic bronchitis, you may be referred to a doctor who specializes in lung diseases (pulmonologist).
Before your appointment, you may want to write a list that answers the following questions:
You might also want to bring a family member or friend to your appointment. Sometimes it can be difficult to remember all the information provided. Someone who accompanies you may remember something that you missed or forgot.
If you've ever seen another physician for your cough, let your present doctor know what tests were done, and if possible, bring the reports with you, including results of a chest X-ray, sputum culture and pulmonary function test.
Your doctor is likely to ask you a number of questions, such as:
During the first few days of illness, it can be difficult to distinguish the signs and symptoms of bronchitis from those of a common cold. During the physical exam, your doctor will use a stethoscope to listen closely to your lungs as you breathe.
In some cases, your doctor may suggest:
Most cases of acute bronchitis resolve without medical treatment in two weeks.
In some circumstances, your doctor may prescribe medications, including:
If you have chronic bronchitis, you may benefit from pulmonary rehabilitation — a breathing exercise program in which a respiratory therapist teaches you how to breathe more easily and increase your ability to exercise.
To help you feel better, you may want to try the following self-care measures:
To reduce your risk of bronchitis, follow these tips:

Sowing new seed was one of three large-scale allegorical works that Orpen painted between 1913 and 1916 which convey his attitudes to his Irish heritage. The scene is Dublin Bay, painted from Howth. The full-frontal female nude sprinkling seeds symbolises Orpen's attempts to modernise Irish ideas about art. The two naked infants represent the receptive youth of Ireland, open to the new ideas.
Rose McPherson (Margaret Preston), acting as an overseas agent for the Art Gallery of South Australia, selected this work for purchase by the Gallery in 1914. However, conservative reaction to the nudity led the Gallery to exchange it with the artist for a portrait of Marshall Foch. In 1927, Orpen sold the painting to the Australian collector, RD Elliott, who eventually bequeathed it to Mildura.

Ben Williams returns to the Bath starting line-up for Saturday's final home game of the West Country side's season against Leicester.
Centre Ben Williams returns to the Bath starting line-up for Saturday's final home game of the West Country side's season against rivals Leicester.
Williams comes into the outside centre shirt to partner Kyle Eastmond in the midfield, with Semesa Rokoduguni shifting out to the wing. Horacio Agulla lines up against his former team on the opposite wing, with Ollie Devoto at fifteen.
Southern hemisphere duo Michael Claassens and Stephen Donald re-form their half-back partnership for what will be the final time at the Rec as both move on at the end of this season.
There are three other changes as hooker Rob Webber, lock Dominic Day and flanker Guy Mercer all come back into the starting line-up.
Webber takes his place in the front row between international duo Paul James and David Wilson, whilst Day partners Dave Attwood in the engine room. Mercer starts on the openside, with Francois Louw on the blindside and Simon Taylor packing down at number eight.
Meanwhile, Leicester Tigers welcome back Tom Youngs, Geoff Parling and Tom Croft for Saturday's Aviva Premiership Round 21 fixture.
The international trio missed last weekend's bonus-point win over London Wasps but are fit to resume their places in the starting line-up.
Thomas Waldrom starts in the back row and Steve Mafi, who returned from injury with 40 minutes in the home win over Wasps, switches to the second row. Matt Smith is given a starting spot on the wing.
Club captain Geordan Murphy and Dan Bowden are selected among the replacements for the penultimate league match of the season.
"We had a good win last week but the job is not done yet. We need the points to secure a home game in the semi-finals, and Bath are also chasing the wins they need to book a place in Europe next season so it will be a big occasion," said boss Richard Cockerill.
Form: Bath have won their last four Aviva Premiership encounters played at The Rec. Leicester Tigers have reached the Premiership play-offs for a record ninth successive season, whilst another three match points would see them appear in a fifth consecutive home semi-final. The Tigers are the best away side in the Premiership having secured 32 match points on their travels so far this season. Leicester have won their last three encounters with Bath in all competitions but have been victorious just once at the Rec in the Premiership since 2006: 37-6 on March 26, 2011.
The teams:
Bath: 15 Ollie Devoto, 14 Semesa Rokoduguni, 13 Ben Williams, 12 Kyle Eastmond, 11 Horacio Agulla, 10 Stephen Donald, 9 Michael Claassens, 8 Simon Taylor, 7 Guy Mercer, 6 Francois Louw (c), 5 Dave Attwood, 4 Dominic Day, 3 David Wilson, 2 Rob Webber, 1 Paul James.
Replacements: 16 Eusebio Guinazu, 17 Nathan Catt, 18 Anthony Perenise, 19 Will Spencer, 20 Mat Gilbert, 21 Nick Koster, 22 Peter Stringer, 23 Tom Heathcote.
Leicester: 15 Mathew Tait, 14 Matt Smith, 13 Manusamoa Tuilagi, 12 Anthony Allen, 11 Adam Thompstone, 10 Toby Flood (c), 9 Ben Youngs, 8 Thomas Waldrom, 7 Julian Salvi, 6 Tom Croft, 5 Geoff Parling, 4 Steve Mafi, 3 Dan Cole, 2 Tom Youngs, 1 Logovi'i Mulipola.

It seems like a well balanced deck but I always see myself losing by the third or fourth round because I either use too many pills on my Dorian or Bryan or I am just one pill short of winning.
Can somebody help me with strategy for this deck? What characters should I typically use early on and how aggressive I should be.
Or even what cards I should use would be very helpful.
My deck:
Dorian (U)
Oxen (U)
Rubie (R)
Samantha (C)
La Junta
Bruce (C)
Bryan (R)
Jane Ramba (U)
Wardog (C)
It would be much appreciated
Maybe a deck like:
Jane Ramba
That would leave your entire La Junta side to 2hko with Oxen (if ox goes first), Rubie, and Nellie.
So every hand (unless DR or SOB) will have a 2hko in it somewhere. Also, Trish and Nellie have great synergy with eachother's -Power. Maybe Add Dean in somehow (but that would reduce 2hkos, which Uppers and La Junta love, usually). Also the 3 SOA may hurt if you face Skeelz so Maybe Gatline in for Bryan. I'd keep Wendel cause he can be a nice starter card with 1 or 2 pillz to throw your opponent off.
I forgot to add that you can 2-hit on most draws on that deck
Normally I would say lose the Uppers half of the deck. This week though it looks like All-Stars will be in full force and they are the weakness for La Junta. When running a La Junta Deck, let your opponents overpill early. Play one to three pills depending on the card in the first round Emeth is a monster against anyone other than GHEIST/Roots.
I would scrap one side. I don't think La Junta will be doing that well this week, with Marina and Striker being unbanned and all, and with their new card. However, La Junta have 2 nifty support cards, Thormund and Emeth, ever more useful if you choose to scrap the Uppers side.

OGMMA AJK SHKUG that would be MESSED UP!
a bit too retarded for naruto
Lol, that actually would be a decent twist. I mean, so far the biggest twist (I think) is that Sasuke would actually abandon Konoha, and that was a very long and drug out event.
However, Tobi being Obito is definitely a possiblity. It can't be a hundred percent proven, but all those coincedences are definitely some good signs of hope.
but tobi being obito? i just dont like the thouht... that would make everything more complicated. an i think it is already complicated enough -.-
yep v similar its worth looking into would make for a good plot twist
I think Suigetsu can change his body to water or something... I dunno how water power works but anywho there is a 85% probability obito and tobi are the same but it is 95% impossible for the 4th Hokage to be the Akatsuki leader.
For reasons plz read the tread about the akatsuki leader's identity
Personally I think the Akatsuki leader is a Jinchuuriki with 0 tails! ZOMG what a twist XD

Jets Draft: Josh Morrissey at 13th Overall
Kevin McCartney
June 30 2013 02:49PM
Josh Morrissey, D, Prince Albert Raiders
- 6', 186lbs
- Left Handed
- Good-Better-Best Comps: Andrew McDonald - Jonas Brodin - Tobias Enstrom
With 13th overall, the Jets decided to reach again this year, taking offense-first defenceman Josh Morrissey. Kevin Cheveldayoff has shown his desire for mobility on the back end, but given the strong need for impact players in the near future, and the need for young skilled forwards throughout the lineup, the under-developed rearguard has to be considered a strange decision.
Craig Button loves Morrissey's open ice hitting, and compared him to the stocky two-way defenceman Nik Kronwall. But Nik Kronwall is not 185lbs. Here's what Pronman has to say:
Pronman on Morrisey:
Morrissey is a dynamic offensive defenseman with a ton of plus skills. He has amassed a considerable number of points for a 1995 birthdate over his last two WHL seasons. His strongest tool is his skating, which is easily high end, if not better. He has a very graceful stride, and his footwork is precise in any direction. His top gear, agility, pivots, and gap control stand out in each game he plays. He is also a top-end puck mover, frequently making aware and accurate passes. He can run the point on a top power play unit, jump into the rush, make a good outlet, and flash a highlight reel play with the puck. His defensive awareness is solid, and he has killed penalties at times. Still, he faces a significant issue in his physicality. I would not describe him as soft, as he can make a quality hit at times, but he often is outmuscled for pucks. Coupling this aspect of his game with his undersized frame makes him a risk at the top level.
Hockey Futures had similar things to say, but give some context to his boxcar stats:
2012-13: Morrissey was the leading scorer amongst defensemen for Prince Albert in his second season as the Raiders finished with a winning record for the first time since 2003-04. He scored 15 goals with 32 assists and was plus-14 with 91 penalty minutes. Prince Albert was second to Saskatoon in the East Division. Morrissey had 1 assist and was minus-three with 9 penalty minutes in the four-game playoff series with Red Deer. He joined Team Canada for the 2013 U18 World Junior Championship and scored 2 goals with 4 assists and was plus-seven in the first four games of the tournament. Morrissey was ranked 11th amongst North American skaters in Central Scouting's mid-term rankings prior to the 2013 NHL Draft, and 27th in the CSS final rankings.
One thing everyone can agree on is that Morrissey will need more time to develop, likely playing his entire Junior eligibility. He was a former Scholastic Player of the Year, and his hockey sense is considered high level.
A Best case scenario is a player who can control the play with his skating and hockey sense, move the puck effectively, quarterback the powerplay, and put up point at the NHL level. Still, the Jets have a glut of LH defenceman currently at the NHL level - Enstrom,
Byfuglien (though he plays right) (EDIT: They gave me beer all day!) Clitsome, Kulda, Stuart, and Trouba. While we won't know what the team will look like in 2015 or 2016 when Morrissey arrives, he may be in a fight for minutes even should he develop as hoped.
For the record...Morrissey projects to be a better defenseman than Stuart, Clitsome, Kulda, Postma etc...those are all third-pairing guys. Morrissey should develop into a legitimate top-4.
I truly believe that you can't draft for immediate need. You have to balance drafting the best player available with building a team "the right way". Ok, there is no one "right way" to build a team. HOWEVER, I believe that the Jets (along with the Leafs) are following one of the best practises...let's call it the BlackHawks model:
Build a strong stable of young defensemen, give them a few years years to develop, even if it means sucking. Then draft your skilled forwards.
Defensemen take longer to develop, so when drafting long-term, it makes sense to address your blueline first.
July 02 2013, 08:18AM
This pick was definitely off the board but in the new NHL I can completely understand why the Jets management made this pick. You need defensemen who can contribute and Morrissey has that potential. Brave pick that I think will be ultimately vindicated just like picking Trouba last year, which has proven to be a huge win.
July 03 2013, 12:25AM
Trouba is also RH...
Jets LHD was: Enstrom (28, so only a few more prime years before regression) Clitsome (likely peeks as how he is) Stuart (terribad, old and whatever) Kulda (who knows what's going on there) Melchiori (doubt he goes > than 3rd pair although probably really good 3rd pair) Chiarot/Sol: (HA!)
I love Morrissey.
Faced the toughest comp on the team (estimated by Eric T over at BSH) and also looking at D who have >0.6 pts/gp in 1st round have 70% chance of being success so definitely better than Zadorov IMO.
At the time with what was left I wanted either Wennenberg or Mantha for forwards, and Pulock or Morrissey for D.
Glad I got one of my 4.

BLM Proposes to Extend the Deadline for Revising Protocol Agreements with State Historic Preservation Offices
Washington, D.C. – The Bureau of Land Management is proposing to extend the deadline for revising state-specific protocols that guide the BLM's compliance with the National Historic Preservation Act.
Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 requires that the Bureau of Land Management and other Federal agencies take into consideration the effects of actions on historic and cultural resources and allow the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation (Council) an opportunity for comment. Under the national programmatic agreement the BLM, the Council, and the National Conference of State Historic Preservation Offices agreed that protocols would be revised two years after the agreement was signed in February, 2012.
The national programmatic agreement governs the agency's activities on federal, state and private lands that may impact historic properties, including those historic properties of traditional religious and cultural significance to Tribes.
The BLM is working with State Historic Preservation Offices to revise state-specific protocols which implement the national programmatic agree on a state-by-state basis.
The BLM is well on the way to completing the revision process including tribal consultation and an opportunity for the public and the Council to comment prior to signing the revised protocols. However, additional time is needed to complete all of the protocols. The BLM proposes to revise the protocol revision deadline to February 9, 2015 and to amend the programmatic agreement to reflect the new date.
The BLM would appreciate comments on this proposed extension on or before Feb. 4, 2014. Please send them to Robin Hawks, via email at: firstname.lastname@example.com
The BLM manages more than 245 million acres of public land, the most of any Federal agency. This land, known as the National System of Public Lands, is primarily located in 12 Western states, including Alaska. The BLM also administers 700 million acres of sub-surface mineral estate throughout the nation. The BLM's mission is to sustain the health, diversity, and productivity of Americas public lands for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations. In Fiscal Year 2015, the BLM generated $4.1 billion in receipts from activities occurring on public lands.

Roberto Luongo Starts Game 1 Because Of Course he Does
Thomas Drance
May 01 2013 12:28PM
Over the latter half of the lockout shortened 2013 regular season, Canucks goaltender Cory Schneider went on a run and cemented his status as the everyday starter for the club. As the team racked up wins, Roberto Luongo appeared to adjust to life as a backup and remained focussed and committed to the team even though his bitter disappointment over staying put at the trade deadline was evident.
For a brief shining moment earlier this month it appeared as if the neverending soap opera that has engulfed Vancouver's crease ever since Cory Schneider was named the starter for game six of the club's first round series against the Chicago Blackhawks way back in 2011 had subsided. Perhaps normalcy might finally reign. Then, of course, Cory Schneider got hurt in the last week of the regular season, and now, of course, Roberto Luongo will be starting in game one of Vancouver's first round playoff series against the San Jose Sharks on Wednesday night. How silly we were to think this situation could possibly unfold any other way.
Read past the jump.
Realistically the difference in quality between Robreto Luongo and Cory Schneider is pretty slim. Cory Schneider has been the better goaltender over the past two seasons, but not by all that much and he's played in fewer games. This season while appearing in the fewest number of games since his rookie season, Roberto Luongo battled with consistency but still pitched a quality start over 60% of the time (a very healthy number).
In other words, with Cory Schneider still on the shelf nursing his mysterious "body injury," at least Vancouver's fall back plan is a goaltender whose recent track record is basically unmatched by any NHL goaltender not named Henrik Lundqvist over the past five or six years. That should be a comforting thought for Canucks fans, especially considering that in an alternate universe not too much different from the one we inhabit Vancouver's game one starter on Wednesday is a guy named Ben Scrivens.
Schneider's injury, which obviously must've been more serious than Canucks management suggested last week since he's not even healthy enough to backup Luongo on Wednesday, presents Vancouver's deposed starter with one hell of an opportunity to step up and reclaim the crease on the big stage that is the NHL playoffs. If Roberto Luongo plays up to his usual standard, or even manages to steal a win for the Canucks on Wednesday, it's not difficult to imagine him remaining in the net even once Schneider is healthy enough to return.
So a fascinating story takes another fascinating turn. It's looking like game one of this series certainly won't be devoid of drama.
Is there any reason aside from convention/tradition that teams with great goaltending tandems pick one goalie and run with him for the entire playoffs?
No reason comes to mind.
The goal is to maximize the save percentage out of the goalie position, right? Other than a little bit of stickhandling, pretty much the entire job of an NHL goalie is to stop as many pucks as he can.
Perhaps both goalies would perform better with the same rest they receive during the regular season.
It's certainly something that should be explored at the least, imo.
Alright!! :) Come on Luongo!!! Let's Go Canucks!!! Playoff Hockey! The Best in Sports!! Game On!!! :)
May 01 2013, 02:25PM
I am much more comfortable having this Luongo play than the tired, overworked Luongo we have seen the past few seasons. He is rested and must have a similar mentality as when he surprisingly got the job from Brodeur at the Olympics. I think he will surprise

Posted on 09/15/2013 12:34:07 PM PDT by Navy Patriot
MOSCOW, September 15 (RIA Novosti) A Russian state TV host has invited US Senator John McCain to take part in his show and discuss his stance on Syria.
Popular Russian TV presenter Vladimir Solovyov said Sunday that the Republican senator known for his critical views on Russias leadership can appear in his show to respond to President Vladimir Putins recent article in the New York Times on Syria.
On our behalf, the broadcaster and myself invite Senator McCain, who wanted to respond to Putins letter to the Sunday Night program, Solovyov said on Sunday.
McCain said earlier that he would be glad to write something for Pravda...
(Excerpt) Read more at en.rian.ru ...
If the Rooskies REALLY want to make heads spin, they should invite Palin to speak.
We got whipped on this one. There's no way to save face on this. Our politicians should just drop it and wait for it to leave the news cycle.
So the Russian people get to watch raving senile looney slobber and drool on himself?
Great way to represent America.
If the Russians want a truely memorable show,they should invite Joe Biden.People here can't understand him,what chance would the Russians hae?
McNut on Alyosha Springerov Show? Would love to see it!
Good grief.
You know the Russians are enjoying this.
Do we REALLY want this grinning nutcase to be the face of America that Russia sees???!?
Interesting thought.
I'm sure they are confidant McCain will make America look stupid while antagonizing the average Joseph Russian. Palin would do neither.
What did the Russians ever do to us to merit Juan McStain on their TV?
It will be comedy hour.
Maybe we can sell it as a pilot for a new fall sitcom, McCain's Navy!!
I believe his sense of importance would shield him from realizing anything of the sort, and the US press would be loathe to spoil his usefulness to them by letting him in on the joke.
Mr. niteowl77
Best laugh of the day.
Can you imagine a duo? Skerry and Bidum? *shudder*
"OK Ivan, let it roll ..... "
"So, senator. The bad guys here who killed our children, they're just some of the people you Americans are arming and supporting in Syria, da?"
The MSM would welcome McCain to do this. It would take pressure off their master Obama.
Yes, of course. However the truth is there for everyone else to see.
kind of like when jane fonda went to Hanoi, don't you think..??
Who's "we" Kemosabe?
Yes, I thought the McCain's Navy show would be something I'd like to watch (in horror - like a train wreck)
Talk about an unbelievably small shot across the bow.
It would be a win-win.
For those who never watched that particular 'Rocky' movie, I'll just say that Apollo's loss was humiliating.
That was an awesome SCTV skit.
"Look! America fits three times...THREE TIMES!...in mother Russia!"
"Ooooh! Loook! Demitri has new pair of shoes!" (Focus on Demitri's new black wingtips. No socks.)
When a reporter asked Grimes, What should the U.S. response to Syria be with the use of chemical weapons on their citizens? she answered:
Well first and foremost, my thoughts and prayers go out to the thousands of women, children, innocent civilians that have suffered at the hands of this regime right now. I had the chance to visit with many of our men and women in uniform that are in the Middle East last year and before we get involved in an open-ended conflict I do think its important, as Secretary Kerry pointed out this morning, that we consult with our military leaders as to how best we can help in that region. The last thing that I would want to do is to get Kentuckians involved in an open-ended conflict with no exit strategy. So Im monitoring Secretary Kerrys, what his position has been. His meetings that hes having right now with our military leaders and hopeful that we can have a positive resolution, especially for the innocent civilians that are suffering right now,
When the reporter asked her to clarify her view on the U.S.'s role in foreign affairs, it didn't get much better:
Well, Ill tell you, we have a lot of problems to take care of right here in Kentuckys own backyard and thats where my priority and focus has been. But we also have to be cognizant of the impact that we have across the nation. But my priority is making sure were tackling the problems here at home, while making sure that the efforts we get involved with abroad, that we are not needlessly taking thousands of Kentuckians who have the privilege and honor to get to know and get to meet in the Middle East and involving them in conflicts that are open-ended. Thoughts and prayers go out to those, not just in Syria, but in Egypt as well and mindful and watchful of Secretary Kerrys efforts to involve the United States, she said.
Oh, boy.

Could the actor/director be mulling a move to Washington?
Ben Affleck has been active in Democratic Party politics for years. On Wednesday, he visited Washington to testify on security in Congo. But would the Academy Award-winning screenwriter, actor and director consider a full-time trade of Hollywood for Washington?
Boston-born Affleck's name was brought up earlier this week for a potential Senate run when talked turned to who might fill John Kerry's seat if Kerry becomes secretary of State, but would the actor consider it?
"One never knows. I'm not one to get into conjecture," Affleck said when Bob Schieffer, the host of CBS's Face The Nation, asked him just that on Wednesday in a taping for Sunday's show.
"I do have a great fondness and admiration for the political process in this country," said Affleck. "It's a big deal for me to come down here and be on your show that I've watched so much, but I'm not going to get into speculation about my political future."

Converting from JPEG
Although the examples above show JPEG as the output image format sometimes there is a necessity to convert images from JPEG to other image files. There are different reasons for that: sometimes it's a multipage layout supported by some file type; sometimes the software settings do not allow processing JPEG images. No matter what the case is you can convert your images from JPEG to a variety of other image files:
Converting to PDF
Some image formats are more common, some are not as widely accepted. Our goal is to support the largest number of existing image formats for your individual task.

Converting other formats
Converting PNG to GIF is a rare case but is a necessity in case one deals with older versions of Internet Explorer that do not support PNG format with transparent background:
You have noticed already that the tutorials we have created not only show in detail what button to push and what should appear on the screen, but we also tried to explain the situations when this or that image format should be substituted with another one.
These are just a few example of what ImageConverter Plus can do to help you convert your image files. The tutorials illustrate the main conversion jobs requested, but we can offer much more image processing opportunities. Plus you are always welcome to send us your specific, really rare or even damaged image files so that we help you view and convert them.

MADI introduces the Flat Round wire brush for transmission, distribution, and substation use.
January 18, 2014 -- MADI has introduced the FlatRound Wire Brush, the most innovative wire brush for Transmission, Substation and Distribution ever launched.
The FlatRound Wire Brush encourages linemen to brush because it is uniquely designed to make wire brushing easier and more convenient than ever. The FlatRound has two designed brushing surfaces, one side for flat connections and the other for round connections.
The flat wire brush can be used on any flat surface, such as flat pads on the pad-mounted transformer, hylugs and all cable to flat connectors. In Transmission applications, the flat side can also be used on all dead-end single-tongue and jumper-terminal connectors and in Substation applications it can be used on all terminal connections up to 1000 MCM.
The round wire brush covers conductors up to 1590 MCM. This covers most conductors and both wire brushes are easily replaceable.
The FlatRound Wire Brush is durable, lightweight (weighs less than ½ pound) and is made of non-conductive material. The design of this tool eliminates lineman hand and leg discomfort currently experienced with other wire brushes. The built-in snap ring makes it easy to store on belts or in bucket trucks.
Properly brushing all types of connections helps decrease outages and bad connections therefore generating significant savings for Utilities.
About MADI
MADI is a manufacturer and marketer of innovative utility tools for the lineman.
For more information please contact Wayne Morris @ email@example.com or 678-642-8637 or visit our website @ www.madillc.com.

Our general interest e-newsletter keeps you up to date on a wide variety of health topics.
Your child's family doctor or pediatrician will probably make the initial diagnosis of diabetes. However, you'll likely then be referred to a doctor who specializes in metabolic disorders in children (pediatric endocrinologist). Your child's health care team will also generally include a dietitian, a certified diabetes educator and a doctor who specializes in eye care (ophthalmologist). If your child's blood sugar levels are very high, your child's doctor may send your child to the hospital for treatment.
Because appointments can be brief, and there's often a lot of ground to cover, it's a good idea to be well-prepared for any appointments you have with your child's health care team. Here's some information to help you get ready for your appointment, and what you can expect from your child's doctor.
Your time with your child's doctor is limited, so preparing a list of questions can help you make the most of your time together. List your questions from most important to least important in case time runs out. For type 2 diabetes in children, some basic questions to ask your child's doctor include:
In addition to the questions that you've prepared to ask your doctor, don't hesitate to ask additional questions that may come up during the appointment.
Your child's doctor is likely to ask a number of questions, such as:
If your child's blood sugar isn't well-controlled or if you're not sure about what to do in a certain situation, don't hesitate to contact your child's doctor or certified diabetes educator in between appointments for advice and guidance.

Peter Van Loan Leader of the Government in the House of Commons
Mr. Speaker, it has been a long-standing practice, of course, for budget implementation bills to actually implement budgets. Our budget is focused on the economic growth and long-term prosperity of the country, and that includes moving forward with responsible resource development so that we can ensure prosperity for generations to come.
Canada has in great quantities the resources the world needs, the emerging developing world, countries like China and India. The development of those resources are the key to the prosperity, wealth and social well-being of Canadians for generations to come. That is why we are moving on it and that is why it is in the budget implementation bill.

The Speaker Andrew Scheer
The Chair has notice of a question of privilege from the hon. member for Westmount—Ville-Marie.
Alleged Invasion of Privacy
Oral Questions
April 30th, 2012 / 3 p.m.
Marc Garneau Westmount—Ville-Marie, QC
Mr. Speaker, I rise today on a question of privilege to raise a matter that represents a serious offence against the dignity and authority of Parliament and, as such, constitutes a clear contempt of Parliament.
On February 24, a package addressed to me was received by the House of Commons delivery service. However, although the package was clearly addressed to me, the shipper used the address of my former officer, which is now occupied by the hon. member for Montmorency—Charlevoix—Haute-Côte-Nord.
The messenger went to the office of the hon. member in question, which signed for the package even though it had my name on it. As we had not received the package, we looked into the matter with the House of Commons delivery service and we contacted the office of the hon. member for Montmorency—Charlevoix—Haute-Côte-Nord, which sent a very clear and short email in response: "Yes, we received the package that was addressed to the hon. member. The thing is that the hon. member regularly receives these sorts of promotional items so we handed them out. Sorry."
This is a serious offence. What is more, that package contained items that were meant for a charity.
While a contemptible offence has taken place, regardless of what was contained in the package, it is worth noting that the package contained toys intended as fundraising prizes to raise money for sick children from the north who need to come south for medical treatment. Although an offence against the dignity of the House regardless of the contents, the theft of these contents, in my view, is also an offence against common decency.
I wish to quote from section 356 of the Criminal Code under the heading Theft of Mail, which states:
Everyone commits an offence who
(a) steals
(i) anything sent by post, after it is deposited at a post office and before it is delivered, or after it is delivered but before it is in the possession of the addressee or of a person who may reasonably be considered to be authorized by the addressee to receive mail.
While the member's office has admitted to receiving the package addressed to me, opening this package, removing the contents and giving them away, it remains unclear who specifically took part in the offence. In other words, was it the member himself, members of his staff or both? On this point I will simply note that I have notified the sergeant-at-arms of this situation and, pending his investigation, a further complaint to police may be made. Regardless of who committed the offence, this took place within the parliamentary precinct and as such would constitute a contempt of Parliament.
Maingot's Parliamentary Privilege in Canada, Second Edition, states on page 163:
Each House of Parliament has jurisdiction over its precincts. While outside of "proceedings in Parliament" and parliamentary debate the criminal law applies to Members of the House of Commons, the act of doing something within the "precincts" could constitute a contempt of Parliament....
Furthermore, the opening and/or theft of the member's private correspondence or mail are tantamount to past findings of contempt where an invasion of privacy of members has occurred.
Maingot states on page 256:
The invasion of the privacy of a Member of the Senate or of the House of Commons within the precincts of Parliament by any person also constitutes a prima facie question of privilege. This includes the interception of a private communication on the precincts.
On October 17, 1973, a meeting of the NDP caucus on the precincts was the subject of electronic eavesdropping by a journalist. A question of privilege was raised by the leader of the NDP at the time, David Lewis, who stated on page 6942 of Debates:
Whether or not it is illegal under the present Criminal Code, or any other statute of which I may not know, is irrelevant. Certainly it is totally illegal as far as the rules of parliament are concerned. I hope that those responsible will not find it more offensive that I intend it to be when I say that it is morally and socially wrong in every respect for them to have done this.
Those words are as accurate in describing the present event as they were in dealing with that prima facie breach of privilege in 1973.
House of Commons Procedure and Practice, Second Edition, in defining contempt of Parliament, states on page 82:
[...] the House also claims the right to punish, as a contempt, any action which, though not a breach of a specific privilege, tends to obstruct or impede the House in the performance of its functions; obstructs or impedes any member or officer of the House in the discharge of their duties; or is an offence against the authority or dignity of the House, such as disobedience of its legitimate commands or libels upon itself, its members, or its officers.
It is, I believe, self-evident that the theft of a member's mail within the precincts of Parliament undoubtedly represents an offence against the authority and the dignity of the House, as does the cavalier response of the member's office once confronted and admitting the offence.
I would understand if, in error, the hon. member or his office staff had opened the package. However, what occurred was not simply an error. They received the package, opened it and, once viewing the contents, toys intended for a fundraiser in regard to a cause supporting children, miniature shuttles in this particular case, they did not call and return the contents with an apology for opening the package clearly addressed to me. Instead, they removed the contents and gave them away. That was not only an invasion of my privacy but it was theft. When contacted by my office, they showed no remorse whatsoever for the offence.
I understand that the member is new, having only been elected a year ago, and that his staff may also lack the experience to understand the more complicated nature of privilege, but this is not a complicated matter. Surely the office of the NDP leader has someone responsible for organization who can inform that member and his staff that they do not open packages that are not addressed to them.
While the member and his office are new, there is no excuse for this.
Sadder still is the fact that the beneficiaries of the charity will suffer as a result of this deplorable and unimaginable situation. Sick children, who are supposed to benefit from this care, saw these items that were meant to help them handed out to the hon. member's friends. It was a very offensive act and I cannot accept it.
Should you rule in my favour, Mr. Speaker, I am prepared to move the appropriate motion.
Alleged Invasion of Privacy
Oral Questions
3:10 p.m.
Nathan Cullen Skeena—Bulkley Valley, BC
Mr. Speaker, I listened with intent to my colleague because he raises a point that is important in terms of the correspondence that we receive.
I have talked about this with the member concerned to find out the facts of the matter. I think there may be some discrepancy as to whether there was actually a name on the box. However, we will get to the bottom of this.
At the point of being respectful to the member, who I respect a great deal, it feels like the rhetoric and the use of moral cases in this regard for what appears to be an accident with regard to some toy space shuttles seems to me a mislaying of priorities right now.
I think there are conversations we could have honourably between members to resolve this case. However, if we are talking about small toy shuttles that were erroneously and mistakenly distributed to my colleague's constituents in error, then we can seek to find more toy space shuttles to replace those that were mistakenly given away and find a way to rectify my friend's sense of dignity in this place.
I am not sure if there is any prima facie case of anything here. It feels like taking up the House's time for this long for something that we could try to work out between hon. colleagues would be something we could attempt to do. I am a bit confused about the amount of time we have already taken away and the heated rhetoric over this notion of misplaced toys. We will make it right in any way we can.
Alleged Invasion of Privacy
Oral Questions
3:10 p.m.
André Bellavance Richmond—Arthabaska, QC
Mr. Speaker, I did not intend to speak longer about this issue, because the House leader of the Liberal Party was very eloquent and clear. However, the response by the House leader of the official opposition was disappointing.
Everyone, every man and woman, knows that opening another person's mail is a crime. The right thing to do would have been to return the package to the Liberal House leader, but that was not done, unfortunately.
Your response can be very simple and the hon. member could even think it up without your intervention. He could simply buy—with his own money, not out of his budget—more of the objects that were in this box addressed to the Liberal member, give him these objects, and of course, apologize for opening the other member's mail. If that is done, the case is settled.

Editorial: How GOP can remain a minority party
California Republicans pondering an eventual resurgence should look first at changing their tone – the way they communicate their message on emotionally charged issues and how they criticize those, within and outside the party, who might not agree with their positions.
Vitriolic name-calling is not "how to win friends and influence people," as Dale Carnegie said in his landmark self-improvement book. And the state's GOP is in dire need of friends (and voters) these days.
A recent internal political battle illustrates the point perfectly. The California Republican Assembly, a longstanding conservative activist group, sent out an email bashing the chairwoman of the San Francisco GOP, Harmeet Dhillon, who is running for vice chair of the California Republican Party. In its missive, the CRA took issue with her past affiliation as a board member of the Northern California chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union.
The CRA characterized Ms. Dhillon as "a Bay Area Liberal" who "simply doesn't represent our values." CRA President Celeste Greig later added that "[t]his is not a personal attack against Harmeet," explaining that "[t]he ACLU is a communist organization," as reported by the San Francisco Chronicle.
This type of rhetoric poses numerous problems for the GOP.
First, to dismiss the ACLU as a communist organization and its allies as liberal is banal – not to mention, factually inaccurate. The Register's Editorial Board has sided with the ACLU on issues of police brutality and freedom of speech. That doesn't make us liberals or communists. The same is true for Ms. Dhillon, who had some good reasons for involvement with the ACLU, such as when the organization joined her in a lawsuit protecting freedom of speech for conservative students at Dartmouth University.
Second, in displaying such infighting, the California's GOP leadership sends a message that it is disorganized and cannot coordinate its public policy goals. That won't inspire new voters to register Republican nor will it help build trust among decline-to-state and independent voters.
Assemblywoman Connie Conway, R-Visalia, GOP leader in the Assembly, explained that when "Democrats have divergent opinions, they are less vocal" and Republicans "pride our independence" on policy matters. But, as she also noted, "words matter." Ms. Conway is right, and especially at a time when California Republicans are in the political wilderness, so to speak, words matter even more.
Ms. Conway, during a visit with our Editorial Board, also said that she "supports Harmeet and will continue to do so" and that the CRA's opinion about Ms. Dhillon "is not shared by the majority of Republicans." Let's hope so.
With Democrats holding every statewide elective office in the state and two-thirds majorities in both houses of the Legislature, it's clear that California desperately needs a credible opposition party. One-party rule at any level is undesirable. For California's GOP to start its assent, it should focus on a carefully crafted platform of ideas, thoughtful discourse and a retreat from knee-jerk sound bites. That will help win new voters and influence the electorate.

Finally ~ the girls are back and in less than 24 hours, I'll get to spend some time with them! At exactly 12:01 a.m. I'll be reunited with four friends I've missed so much.
You see, we used to spend each Sunday evening together and it was the best way to end my weekend and get ready for the work week. Monday's haven't been the same since they left. Oh, we got together for one reunion since then but that was over two years ago.
Tomorrow after I get off of work my plan is to come home and nap for a few hours then head into the city to meet up with them. Sure I'll be tired Thursday at work but these girls are so worth it. Good thing I love my coffee, right?
Will you be seeing the girls this weekend too?

Canada sends four pairs to inaugural beach volleyball tournament at World University Games
OTTAWA (CIS) – Canadian Interuniversity Sport, in conjunction with Volleyball Canada, announced Wednesday the student-athletes and team personnel who will represent Canada in beach volleyball at the 26th Summer Universiade in August in Shenzhen, China.
2011 Summer Universiade website: http://www.sz2011.org/Universiade
Team Canada website: http://english.cis-sic.ca/universiade/summer
Beach volleyball will make its world university games debut in Shenzhen and Canada was allowed to enter the maximum of two pairs in both the women's and men's 32-team tournaments.
On the women's side, the Canadian squads are comprised of Kristina Valjas of Toronto and Caleigh Whitaker of Sharon, Ont., as well as Becky Billings of Ottawa and Kristina Vlcek of Toronto.
On the men's side, Simon Fecteau-Boutin of Montreal will team up with Cameron Wheelan of Barrie, Ont., while François-Guy Allaire of Notre-Dame-du-Laus, Que., will play alongside Michael Plantinga of Langley, B.C.
Canada 1 (Valjas-Whitaker) will compete in Pool C in the women's preliminary round against the Czech Republic, the Ukraine and China 2. Canada 2 (Billings-Vlcek) will battle Slovakia 1, Poland and Japan in Pool F.
In the men's prelims, Canada 1 (Fecteau-Boutin-Wheelan) is grouped in Pool C with Germany 1, the Netherlands and Indonesia, while Canada 2 (Allaire-Plantinga) is set to face USA 1, Russia 2 and Thailand in Pool H.
The men's final is scheduled for Aug. 18, with the women's gold-medal match following on Aug. 19.
Valjas, a University of Toronto student, has competed in five FIVB World Tour Opens over the past two years, with her best results being a pair of 33rd-place finishes in Shanghai (2011) and Sanya (2010), China.
Whitaker, who attends York University, teamed up with Valjas at the 2011 Shanghai Open and is a veteran of two FIVB under-21 world championships in 2010 (19th) and 2009 (9th), as well as one U19 world championships in 2008 (9th).
Billings, a member of Queen's indoor volleyball varsity team, placed eighth at a NORCECA Beach Circuit tournament played last September in California and Mexico.
Vlcek, who also attends York, was 29th at the FIVB U19 world championships in 2009.
Fecteau-Boutin, who studies at the University of Quebec in Montreal (UQAM), is a former Canadian U24 champion whose international experience includes the 2010 FISU world university championships (17th) and the 2009 Francophone Games (4th).
Wheelan, a Wilfrid Laurier student, finished fourth at a NORCECA Beach Circuit tournament in Mexico in 2010.
Allaire, also a UQAM student, was Fecteau-Boutin's teammate at the 2009 Canadian U24 championships, the 2010 FISU world university championships and the 2009 Francophone Games.
Plantinga, who attends the University of Alberta, took 25th place at the 2010 FIVB U21 championships.
Heading the eight-athlete Canadian delegation in Shenzhen will be coach Dolphin Kasper of Vancouver and team leader Lennard Krapp of Thornhill, Ont.
Kasper is a development coach at the National Beach Volleyball Practice Centre and helped Canada to a ninth-place finish at the 2010 youth world championships in Portugal.
Krapp is Volleyball Canada's beach head coach. His extensive experience includes leading the Canadian men to gold and the women to silver at the 2011 NORCECA Olympic qualification tournament (central zone phase), coaching the duo of Garrett May and Sam Schachter to gold at the 2010 U21 world championships, and guiding a Canadian pair to gold and another to bronze at the 2009 Francophone Games. Between 1993 and 2008, he also led numerous national teams from his native Germany to medals at youth and junior world championships.

A Douglas County District Court judge showed no leniency to a man who showed no remorse for committing his 13th felony.
Prosecutors for the 18th Judicial District Attorney's Office said Thomas Hild's criminal record speaks for itself. Prior to his latest indiscretion, Hild had been convicted of 12 felonies – forgery, third-degree burglary, repeated driving infractions, leaving the scene of an accident and escape among them – and has been in and out of prison since 1978.
Hild's latest felony conviction – this one for a brazen, four-hour-long heist that netted $480,000 in jewelry - was the final straw for Douglas County District Court Judge Paul A. King, who referred to the defendant as a "career criminal" before handing down a 48-year prison sentence June 14.
Hild, 53, was arrested in May 2012 after the Parker Police Department identified him as one of three suspects in the burglary at Apex Jewelers two months earlier. Detective Penny VanDenBerg said Hild was recruited for his ability to drill through the wall of an adjacent vacant store and break into a safe using heavy duty construction tools. Hild's alleged co-conspirators, Charles Williams and Daniel Delgado, face separate trials.
Laura Wilson, deputy district attorney, said the men would have gotten away with the crime if not for good detective work by VanDenBerg, who spotted Delgado on surveillance video going through a nearby McDonald's drive-thru while the alleged burglary was taking place. VanDenBerg said Delgado was supposed to be the "look-out."
Hild was found guilty on all eight charges he faced after a four-day jury trial in late February. Three of Hild's relatives attended the June 14 sentencing hearing, in which prosecutors asked for consecutive sentences totaling 72 years behind bars. Wilson said the DA's office was trying to make sure Hild would not become eligible for parole, regardless of his age.
"The defendant has been given every opportunity in the community for rehabilitation," Wilson said. "Nothing seems to deter him from criminal acts."
King said state law mandates concurrent sentences unless there are multiple victims.
Ida Reinhold, the only family member to speak on Hild's behalf, said Hild had started his own business, bought a home and was living a "normal life" since getting out of prison.
"He is a good person," Reinhold said.
While detailing his reasons for the 48-year sentence, King delivered a pointed response to her assertion, saying, "Good people do not commit 13 felonies." King also admonished Hild for not taking responsibility for his actions and said incarcerating him was the "only way to keep the community safe."
Hild's defense attorney, Marques Ivey, said he believes the evidence was not enough to support the jury's decision to find him guilty.
"I don't think they proved it," Ivey said, referring to prosecutors' circumstantial case.
The judge granted Ivey's request to find Hild indigent so he can immediately retain counsel to represent him in an appeal. Hild has 45 days to file a notice of appeal.
He was given 400 days of credit for time served. The amount of restitution will be determined at a later date. The jewels that were stolen have not been recovered.

Highlanders vs Brumbies
The Highlanders have lost all six games in 2013, by an average score of 21-30 and their last nine in total. That beats their previous longest losing streak (from 2007-08) of eight games and is the worst run of any New Zealand team ever, in the competition. They aren't in danger of threatening the Lions impressive haul of seventeen straight defeats for a while but with Hayden Parker and Fumiaki Tanaka in at half-back there is a sense that Jamie Joseph's patience is wearing thin with his under-performing side. The Brumbies only won one away game from fourteen attempts from mid 2010-2012, so their recent record of seven wins from eight trips is a great improvement and they have beaten this opposition in five of the last six meetings. To balance that, Jake White's side have lost 7/8 trips to New Zealand teams and 5/8 at the Highlanders. The first-half has been highest scoring in five of last six Brumbies games and the last five for the hosts so that is worth monitoring. You have to go back a while but when the Highlanders were winning games, they often trailed at half-time (occurred in four of last seven victories). With the Brumbies current second-half issues and just because the Highlanders are utterly desperate for a win, I am looking at the Brumbies HT / Highlanders FT and taking the hosts with the +3 points available.
Chiefs vs Reds
The Chiefs have won 5/6 games this season by a healthy average score of 33-19 and eleven of the last twelve home games by a rate of 29-15. They've led at half-time in 5/6 matches and outscored opposition in the second-half in 6/6. That makes for impressive reading, however the Reds have won the last three meetings. The Chiefs were leading 8-22 in Brisbane last season, when a season-ending injury to Richard Kahui and then a four-try blitz from the hosts saw a famous 42-27 win. The All Black has just taken four days off to get married and stated this week that perhaps the Reds were underestimated last season. The Reds have been outscored in the second-half in 5/7 matches this term and with the Chiefs scoring 14/21 tries after half-time that may point to an area to be exploited by the hosts. Under Dave Rennie, the Chiefs are ruthless on attack and suffocating on defence and with the added motivation of revenge, they are going to be well backed. In keeping with the trend of the weekend though, I think the price of 4.0 for a Reds win and a +9 handicap are a bit too big to ignore. Ewen McKenzie's side have beaten NZ opposition in 10/11 games by a rate of 24-18 and Quade Cooper could well have a point to prove to his national selectors. There have been four cards shown in the last three Reds matches and five in the last four Chiefs games. With three cards in the last four meetings, a sin-bin bet may also be in order.
Stormers vs Sharks
The Stormers have won 2/6 matches by an average of 22-23 this season. They've been outscored in the second-half in 4/6 games and the other two games scored just one point more than opponents. Allister Coetzee's team have also lost the last three matches against the Sharks by an average score of 15-21 and eight of last eleven meetings by a rate of 16-19. With a run of four consecutive away games approaching – and a current conference position of fourth – this comes under that old favourite of 'must win' for the hosts. The absence of Peter Grant and Elton Jantjies means the heat is on Gary Van Aswegen so I would expect to see both his more experienced team-mates trying to shoulder some of the decision making and the Sharks to target him early and often. The visitors have won thirteen of their last sixteen games and 5/6 this season by a rate of 26-16. Whilst they showed plenty of spirit to come back against the Crusaders, the backline still isn't firing and ten of their thirteen tries came in the one game – against the Rebels. The Stormers have scored twelve tries themselves and with both teams only letting in nine, going 'unders' on tries looks sensible – especially given the earlier meeting this season was 12-6 (all penalties). It's also 17.0 for no try. With a close game expected, I'm happy to take the Sharks with +2 points.
Hail Mary
A multiple of the Highlanders +8, Reds +14, 'Canes +9, Kings +13, Force +15, Sharks +7 and Cheetahs +12 is 16.4. Jesse Mogg, Tim Nanai-Williams, Julian Savea and Raymond Rhule all to score is 64.7 while a Kade Poki, Quade Cooper and Rene Ranger trio is 60.0.
I would opt for the Hurricanes, Kings, Force, Sharks and Bulls to win by 1-12 margins.
