Reviews for this host's other properties
The apartments are nice all there for a comfortable stay, except for a spin -). Large living room, bathroom, green courtyard. Cabinets with lots of hangers.
Important: was parking (5 min walk).
Shop with food - a little further, it is better to drive a car if you have to buy a lot at once.
Anat and Chana immediately respond to e-mail and SMS, solve all the problems. Late arrival did not cause problems.
Walk to the old town - 10 minutes 15 - unhurried pace.
Апартаменты хорошие: все есть для комфортного проживания, за исключением штопора -). Большая гостиная, ванная, зеленый двор. Шкафы со множеством вешалок.
Важно: была парковка (5 мин пешком).
Магазин с продуктами - чуть дальше, лучше ездить на машине, если надо купить сразу много.
Anat и Chana тут же отвечают на e-mail и SMS, решают все проблемы. Поздний приезд не повлек проблем.
Дойти до старого города - 10 минут, 15 - неспешным шагом.
Anat ând Chanat are great but the flat was dirty and and the power socket are not in good shape! Bed sheet was dirty as well.
Great flat close to centrum Sun clean and nice
--Can only recommend this flat! Good, central,quiet location, superb cleanliness and lots of space. Balcony an asset.
Well suited for families or friends (3-4) travelling together.
The apartment is in a nice neighborhood, with a convience store (24hr) across the street. The apartment had plumbing problem in bathroom, took at least 24 hours to send plumber. There was no soap dish in shower. Lights in the hallway shut off quickly - leaving you in complete darkness. No lock on front door of building, anybody can walk in.
I would recommend. excellent location - 15 min walk to the old town. very nice, well-appointed apartment-linen, towels, washing machine, dryer, iron, very well equipped kitchen. only problem with access to the Internet. host tried to solve, but we came back late-tour :)
Polecam. doskonała lokalizacja - 15 min spacer do starego miasta.
bardzo ładny, doskonale wyposażony apartament- pościel, ręczniki, pralka, suszarka do bielizny, żelazko, bardzo dobrze wyposażona kuchnia.
jedynie problem z dostępem do internetu.
gospodarz próbował rozwiązać, ale wracaliśmy późno- zwiedzanie :)
The frist week of november we where in the Harlap. It was the second time, because we like this home. But now it was verry dirty on the floor and the pillows, mattreses where also dirty. In the livingroom and garden stands extra tables and chairs. The neighbour said it was from an arabic party.
We are missing comfortable chairs or extra sofa. We had a nice time in this home, but you take more care for it into the future.

The Czech natural landscape boasts several European "bests". One of them lies in the heart of the fabulous Bohemian Switzerland. Its symbol, the Pravčická brána (Pravčice Sandstone Gate), is tthe biggest natural sandstone arch in Europe. Its monumental height and the mass of this rock formation will totally amaze you – the dimensions of this rock arch are truly impressive.
+420 412 554 286
When you stand directly under the Pravčická brána it will seem even larger. This sandstone arch has a span of 27 metres and rises up to a height of 21 metres. At its narrowest point, however, it is relatively thin, therefore its top is inaccessible. Beautiful views of this unique natural formation, however, can be enjoyed from several nearby look-out points. Directly below the Pravčická brána you can relax at the romantic chateau called Sokolí hnízdo (meaning Falcon's Nest).
Bohemian Switzerland offers much more than just the Pravčická brána. Lace up some good hiking shoes and set off along the marked trails to explore more of its beauty. Do not miss the romantic Hřenské soutěsky (Hřensko gorges) or Gabrielina stezka (Gabriela's Trail), which leads past bizarre sandstone rock formations. The fact that the Pravčická brána has a fairytale atmosphere is evidenced by the fact that the famous Danish fairytale writer Hans Christian Andersen wrote part of "The Snow Queen" here. The Pravčická brána has also enchanted Hollywood filmmakers, who shot several scenes from the Chronicles of Narnia here.

President Obama's second inaugural wasn't entirely flawless.
The president briefly stammered over the word "states" while taking the oath of office, but fear not: There won't be a do-over this time.
Four years ago, Chief Justice John Roberts botched the oath, requiring the two men to repeat the ceremony a day later out of an abundance of legal caution.
Obama's brief slip comes right after the 35-second mark of the video.

"Making Riflemen from Mud: Restoring the Army's Culture of Irregular Warfare
October 29, 2007
Authored by Lieutenant Colonel James D. Campbell.
The culture of irregular warfare was attributable to nearly 300 years of American military tradition from the colonial period until 1941, including extensive experience in cooperating with Native American tribes and individual scouts during the expansion of the western frontier. Since World War II, the wider military has lost this expertise. Given the variety of political environments in which today's conventional soldiers may find themselves and the current nature of conflicts ongoing and likely to occur in the world, the Army culture as a whole can and must readapt itself to the new old realities of irregular war.

Forests cover one third of the earth's land mass, performing vital functions around the world. In fact, 1.6 billion people depend on forests for their livelihoods. They play a key role in our battle against climate change. Forests feed our rivers and are essential to supplying the water for nearly 50% of our largest cities, including New York, Jakarta and Caracas. They help to regulate the often devastating impact of storms and floods.

Perfect Peeptoes
"These fit great, although slightly tight in the toe area. Wore them once for a night out, and they were rather comfy. The width was perfect, and length was spot on - no sliding around in them. They feel sturdy and well constructed. They were cute and I received compliments on them. I adore these shoes, and will probably purchase another pair in a different color!"

People React To President's Gun Plan
With President Obama's plan addressed today, how are people in our area reacting to it?
We met with Lori Wheeler, who was shopping for a brand new gun today.
Wheeler tuned in during President Obama's address, and was appalled.
"It's a ridiculously poor attempt at the proper solution," said Wheeler, "It's disappointing to see with all the other things we have going on, unable to pass a budget for all these years, but we can throw together a task force for gun control in 30 days?"
Over the past few weeks, local gunshop owners have seen about a 30 percent increase in the number of people looking to purchase guns -- and don't expect numbers to drop any time soon.
Local gunshops like Hammer's Outdoor World in Union Gap say the recent actions the President took this morning is only going to make it more difficult for people who are looking to buy guns either for protective or recreational use.
"It's going to make the used gun market more expensive," said gun manager Check Tveter, "A lot of private sales people will try doing that. But for the gun stores, used guns will cost us more money, and so we'll have to charge higher for it unfortunately."
Lori Wheeler says she hopes the recent attempts at gun control are struck down, and efforts are focused on those behind the gun.
"In terms of caring about firearms, being safe with firearms, it has nothing to do with curbing the violence," said Wheeler, "People want to make guns the problem, and guns are not the problem; people are the problem."

Dr. Ronald B. Sanders, owner and director of the Castle Chiropractic Center recently achieved a "hallmark" in practice. On June 21, Dr. Sanders has been in practice in Castle Dale for 30 years.
When asked why he chose to become a chiropractor he explained, "My father was helped with severe back problems that were due to an injury sustained when he jumped off the side of a flattop battle cruiser during World War II. He tried all kinds of doctors and could never get relief until he went to his first visit with a chiropractor. My dad would receive maintenance care when he worked different hard jobs where heavy lifting was required. One day when I was about 12 years old I woke up with a neck spasm that was so painful that I could not straighten my head. My head was cocked to one side. My parents took me down to their chiropractor. He put me under a heat lamp and then adjusted my neck. It made all the difference and I walked out of his office without any pain and my head was on straight. I started really taking an interest in chiropractic from that time forward and decided that was going to be my life's work," said Dr. Sanders.
When asking Dr. Sanders what made him decide to come to Emery County to start his practice he replied, "It was fate that brought us to Emery County. I was living in Spanish Fork and was practicing in Orem when I first started practice. I wanted to move to a smaller community where I could raise a family with a small town environment. I asked my father-in-law, who was the postmaster of Spanish Fork at the time, where I should move my family. He emphatically said, move to Emery County. I said where is Emery County? He told me that I should move to Castle Dale because it was the county seat and was centrally located. He told me that his assistant postmaster's son had recently started a practice in Ferron as a dentist and was doing very well. We checked out Castle Dale and decided to move ther. Everything that we needed fell into place and we have loved it here ever since."

New features for the VPG 7490i include wider outside leg protection that fully covers the back leg area. New internal components eliminates gaps between the foam components, and allows more foam in the corners of the pad. The new internal foam makes for a solid and firm shape without making the pads stiff. Graphics have been updated on the face of the pad keeping the new V5 style. With the adjustable knee cradle and upper leg strapping individuals are able to customize the pads to each size.

The back of the leg pads are covered in a lightweight breathable nylon material, and lining the leg and boot channels is Vaughn's proprietary MSH3 synthetic material, able to wick away moisture.
The Velocity 7490i is using a flat faced design, perfect for controlling rebounds and deflecting the pucks away from the goal. Protecting the upper thigh and knee areas is a molded lightweight thigh guard and knee cap, adjustable with elastic strap. Protecting the knee is the full knee cradle that can be adjusted laterally and vertically depending on your height and personal preference. Vaughn's MSH3 synthetic material lines the face of the knee cradle and 2 medium density foam flaps protect your inner and outer knee. High density foam knee stack keeps your knee elevated above the playing surface while in the butterfly position. Protecting the lower leg is the 4 piece calf wrapping system made from medium density foams wrapped in nylon.

By Chris Kieffer/NEMS Daily Journal
During Friday's Dropout Prevention Summit, Gilmore Foundation Executive Director Danny Spreitler spoke about his foundation's efforts to prepare Monroe County's 4-year-old children for school.
The Gilmore Early Learning Initiative works with existing childcare centers, tutors pre-K and kindergarten children and provides resources. This year, it partnered with the Amory and Monroe County School Districts to teach pre-K classes on their campuses.
As Mississippi considers a law that would encourage collaborative early-education efforts, Daily Journal education reporter Chris Kieffer spoke to Spreitler about GELI.
Q: What are the lessons you've learned from the early learning initiative?
A: The number one lesson we have learned is the home life of our young children greatly influences their outcomes. When children go hungry, they can't pay attention. When children have a broken home, they come to class with a broken spirit. There is nothing more important we can do than improve the home lives of our children.
The second lesson is the only way to change every single child's life is through collaboration. Also, money is not going to solve the problem.
Q: What advice do you have for other communities trying to replicate what you are doing?
A: Listen. We have a lot of people who talk, but not everyone listens. When communities come together, they need to listen to what each demographic and social group brings to the table.
In early childhood, the most important person in creating your plan is kindergarten teachers. They have the great opportunity to work with the strengths and weaknesses of all 5-year-olds. The most important thing is relationships we have with our schools and district.
Q: What were some of the biggest challenges you have faced?
A: The biggest challenge is creating a partnership that works, especially today in Mississippi. Public schools are getting beat up every day. It is very difficult to build trust when people you love and trust are getting beat up every day. We do everything honesty and openly. There is no hidden agenda.
You will also get your heart broken. People can talk about the plights of children, but when it hits you, it breaks your heart.

This is the weekly report from the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources on the fishing conditions in the area.
â¢Electric Lake. Weekend blizzard conditions kept anglers at home. There is open water at the north end of the reservoir, where the mine's water discharges into the lake. Anglers may also encounter springs or isolated pockets of open water. Please use caution.
â¢Huntington North Reservoir. Anglers can expect slow fishing at the reservoir.
â¢Huntington Reservoir.Blizzard conditions over the last weekend in January put a stop to angler activity. The ice is thick and covered with snow. Angler access is difficult, and drilling an ice hole is even harder.
â¢Joes Valley Reservoir.Conservation Officer Casey Mickelsen reported fair to good fishing on Jan. 24 for 10 to 12 inch splake. He checked 10 parties of anglers, all of whom were using jigs tipped with chub meat. Mickelsen recommends fishing west of the new boat ramp and south of Lowry Water. Ron Sorensen of Mount Pleasant, who caught a 27-inch splake on Jan. 3, caught another 27-incher on Jan. 17. It weighed an estimated eight pounds. Sorensen fishes with a custom yellow/chartreuse jig tipped with chub meat. He fished in 12 feet of water near the Lowry Water inlet on the north side of the lake. He reported catching a lot of small splake that moved around in schools, so the bite alternated between hot and cold all day long.
â¢Millsite State Park. Fishing is slow.
â¢Scofield Reservoir.Sergeant Stacey Jones reported that Scofield Reservoir was rainy all weekend (Jan. 21-23). Rain, slush and a slick surface made it very difficult to move around on the ice. Fishing was slow across the reservoir, regardless of tackle.

If you are looking for a job, it is often difficult to identify your unique skills to write on an application or resume. Most job seekers tend to think only in terms of specific job duties such as repairing computers or driving coal trucks. When you focus on no more than these specific job skills, you are generally able to recognize only a few abilities that you possess.
Employment experts agree that skills identification is essential to a successful job search. Employers want to know what it is you can do for them - not just what you have done for someone else. Knowledge of your unique skills is needed to successfully complete an application, write a resume, or answer interview questions. Skills identification is the first step toward new employment.
Everyone has skills, hundreds of skills, many of which employers are looking for in an employee. Yet most people can only identify a few skills and are generally unable to describe them to an employer.
The local office of the Department of Workforce Services - Utah's Job Connection - can assist you in identifying your most important work skills. Its trained staff can also explain how to effectively use this information on applications, resumes, and in interviews.
The Emery County Office of Workforce Services has received many positive comments from job seekers about the expertise and level of assistance provided to help them gain new or enhanced employment. Utah's Job Connection looks forward to being a resource to help you in your job seeking activities. All job-seeking services are provided free-of-charge. This includes use of computers, laser printer, fax, and copier as well as assistance from knowledgeable staff. This state agency is located at 550 West Highway 29 in Castle Dale. Job seeking assistance is available from 8 a.m.-5 p.m., Monday through Friday. You can contact Workforce Services by calling 381-6100.

UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN River Falls
UW-River Falls Administrative Policy
Records Management Program
Maintained by: Provost
Definition: Records management is the process by which recorded information, regardless of format, is ushered through a multi-phased life-cycle, including initial creation; active office use; inactive storage; and eventual destruction or transfer to the University Archives for preservation and permanent retention.
Purpose: Ensure reasonable compliance with external laws and regulations regarding records disposition. Make handling of records a routine process which effectively documents the spectrum of University operations and preserves documents relevant to the history of the university. Provide professional assistance and records system control to university offices and departments so that these units may contribute to the university's mission
The UW-River Falls Chancellor issues this policy in accordance with the Administrative Policy process.
The Assistant Chancellor for Business and Finance is responsible for the administration of this policy. Request an exception to this policy by writing to email@example.com.
Failure to adhere to the provisions of this policy may result in appropriate disciplinary action as provided under existing procedures applicable to students, faculty, and staff, and/or civil or criminal prosecution.
Inventory: A department/unit conducts an inventory to determine what records are created and used, and what records are active or inactive. It is a complete and accurate listing of information about records including but not limited to: series title; dates; types of storage equipment; departmental function documented by the records; and physical information such as location, format, volume, etc. The inventory also allows the department/unit to evaluate records and to make recommendations for disposition.
General Schedules: UW System-wide and Wisconsin statewide records retention schedules are called general schedules. These schedules codify retention policies for record types common to all offices across campus. Rather than making each office secure its own specific retention schedule, a general records retention schedule can be used by all offices to determine retention and disposition of similar records. Departments/units should determine if records fall under pre-existing general campus- or System-wide general records schedules. If they do, skip to 5.4; if not, proceed to Step 5.3.
Records Disposition Authorization (RDA): While many of the more common administrative records will be covered by campus-wide or System schedules, departments will have records that are unique and should therefore be covered by a specific records retention authorization called a Records Disposition Authorization (RDA). RDAs are written based in large part on the information gathered in the records inventory. Wisconsin Statutes prohibit the destruction of any public records, regardless of format, without the approval of the State Public Records and Forms Board (PRB). To obtain this approval, an RDA is written by the RO using the inventory worksheets completed by the department/unit and submitted for review. When the final draft is completed, the department/unit representative signs the RDA and it is submitted to the PRB, which meets quarterly. Upon approval, the PRB signs off on the RDA and returns it to the RO, who sends a final copy with all signatures to the originating office.
Disposition: Records are either destroyed or legal custody is transferred to another agency, such as the University Archives. In effect, the RDA is a legal agreement between the University and the PRB that a given records series will be retained for at least a certain number of years and then disposition will be handled in a certain manner. RDAs are subject to amendment and change by the same process used for initial creation.
The Chancellor shall designate a public records and forms officer. The Records Officer (RO) shall develop and maintain a records management program in compliance with Wisconsin statutes and UW System policies governing public records, regardless of format; provide records management training and assistance to University employees; provide special assistance to UW System legal counsel upon request; and collaborate with information technology professionals at the university and System levels in developing and maintaining systems that manage electronic public records in compliance with state and federal requirements.
The records management program shall facilitate the disposal of records determined not to be of permanent value. It shall also provide for the preservation of those records deemed to have permanent legal, fiscal, administrative, research, or historical value. In making these designations, the RO may consult University employees from other professional fields, including but not limited to: business officers, administrators, faculty, staff, and students.
The University Archives shall be responsible for the administration of inventorying, scheduling, and disposition of records, regardless of format. Specific responsibilities include:
Please direct questions about this policy to firstname.lastname@example.com.

Virgin Australia Reveals Major Enhancements for Sydney and Melbourne Domestic Airports26/04/2012
Virgin Australia today revealed a series of major enhancements to its facilities at Sydney Airport's Domestic terminal (T2) and Melbourne Airports' Domestic Terminal 3.
The enhancements at Sydney Airport include a new state-of-the-art lounge and a significant upgrade to its dedicated pier within the terminal. The new architecturally designed lounge will stretch over two levels, doubling the existing size of the Sydney lounge and providing sweeping views of Botany Bay and beyond. Virgin Australia's Pier A at Terminal 2 will be refurbished internally and expanded to accommodate larger aircraft.
Virgin Australia Chief Executive Officer John Borghetti said that Sydney Airport was Virgin Australia's largest hub and an important focus for the airline.
"With 8 million Virgin Australia guests travelling through every year, providing a seamless first-rate experience at Sydney Airport is critical to Virgin Australia.
"The enhancements announced today will enable us to do just that, establishing Sydney as our flagship domestic lounge and offering guests more spacious and comfortable terminal facilities. The pier expansion will also allow us to provide additional flight frequencies for our guests, with more positions for narrow and wide body aircraft".
Mr Borghetti said Virgin Australia would also continue to improve the Virgin Australia travel experience at Melbourne Domestic Airport, building on recent enhancements including a new lounge, valet parking and priority security screening.
"In May 2012, we will commence a major refurbishment of the interiors of our Melbourne domestic terminal. The refresh will include new flooring, seating and washroom facilities and is designed to create more space and bring the Melbourne terminal in line with Virgin Australia's contemporary look and feel", Mr Borghetti said.
The enhancements at Sydney and Melbourne domestic airports are expected to be completed by the end of this year.

Comments: This has been a good trailer for me when the water's a little too warm for pork, but you still want some bulk and not a lot of flappin'.
From: Brian: Los Gatos, CA 2/28/14
Comments: Put one of these on a 3/8 oz black finesse jig and caught my biggest bass ever on it. The trailer's bulk helps to slow the fall speed of the jig, and that was the key for me. The bass hit the jig on the fall and made me an extremely happy camper. These will be my one and only chunk trailers for jigs.

Mark Poloncarz provides lease expertise to WGR

The Twitter world was worked into a tizzy on Monday night following the headline provided by John Kryk of The Toronto Sun. Kryk
highlighted a clause in the Buffalo Bills lease
with Erie County stating that, from what he was made to understand, that the sale of the team is prohibited from going to a prospective owner that has outright intentions of moving the team during the course of the lease, which runs through 2023.
While this provision had been brought to light for the first time, Mike Florio of ProFootballTalk.com
argued that it doesn't actually give new insight
that wasn't known already. Florio argued that the new owner, even if they had intended on moving the franchise, would make it seem as though they were planning on keeping the Bills in Buffalo.
The two simple facts remain: the new owner can still opt out of the lease with Erie County during a short window in the beginning of 2020 for $28.4 million, and there is nothing stopping a new owner from moving the team when the full term of the lease expires in 2023.
With confusion setting in for most in regards to this newly brought up clause, Erie County Executive Mark Poloncarz called The Howard Simon Show on Tuesday morning to explain what it all meant.
Near the end of the interview, Poloncarz said he expects that by this time next year a new owner will be in place. He also said he's talked with plenty of prospective owners that intend to keep the team in Buffalo, even ones without ties to the area.

Kassian shows his strength, Wolves take another from Hawks farmhands
Patrick Johnston
October 15 2012 12:13AM
Zack Kassian was a handful in the preseason against Rockford and he was a handful this weekend too. (Chris Jerina/AHL in Photos)
Playing two games in less than 24 hours is pretty standard for the AHL, so Sunday's tilt between the Wolves and the IceHogs might have been expected to be not as energetic as Saturday night's season opener. But it wasn't. In pushing the tempo the whole game, both teams set themselves up for a wide-open, skate-till-you're-gassed third period; it should be no suprise that six of the game's eight goals came in the final stanza. On the whole, the Wolves were better and fully deserving of their 5-3 win, even if it made for a scary finish.
Sunday's game was also a great example of how score effects work. Despite outchancing the IceHogs 17-9 by the time they'd scored their third goal of the game and looking just as dominant, the flow changed course. Rockford carried the play for the rest of the game, picking up 13 chances in the game's final 15 minutes to take the overall total 22-20. Eddie Lack was huge in the third and the forwards found the goal scoring touch that was lacking on Saturday night, get four of their five goals from gilt-edged chances. Oh and Zack Kassian was a monster.
More notes and stuff after the jump.
- Might as well start with Kassian, who had three shifts of especial note. On one second-period shift, he took advantage of a Rockford defenceman's broken stick (for which Kassian himself was pretty much responsible). While waiting for a forward to hand his stick off to the stickless defenceman, Kassian collected the puck and proceeded to challenge the now-stickless forward, dominated the engagement and got himself a quality shot off from the slot. It all took about 15 seconds and in the words of Thomas Drance was 'hilariously deliberate.'
- Big Zack's next feat was to throw a big hit behind the net on Ryan Stanton. It was a heavy hit that had some shades of Raffi Torres, though in Kassian's defence, Stanton did have the puck and he probably expected some kind of collision. You can bet safely that he was really hoping it wouldn't be Kassian. The big forward saw the contact coming, set himself and (again) owned the confrontation, sending Stanton hard to the ice and gaining the attention of Stanton's teammates. Kassian and Jimmy Hayes mixed it up some, each earning roughing minors.
- Accomplishment three was a game saver. Late in the third, with BIlly Sweatt shuffled on to the second line because of his defensive prowess (Anton Rodin had spent most of the night on Jordan Schroeder's left), Kassian led a forechecking effort along the boards that seemed to last minutes. With the occasional help of Sweatt, Kassian worked the puck around the corner, down towards the endboards and while Schroeder skated through, distracting defenders as he went, Kassian fired a pass to Sweatt in the slot. Sweatt fought off his man and laid a strong one-timer over Rockford goalie Carter Hutton's left shoulder. Game, set, match. How Kassian was not a star is a mystery, but there were plenty of strong Wolves on the night so just chalk it up to that.
- Kevin Connauton looks ready to take the next step. He's learned how to use his big frame effectively and was a tower of strength at both ends of the ice all night. His strong puck distribution was noticeable throughout the game. With his offensive talents, will he actually find himself ahead of Chris Tanev in the pecking order?
- Anton Rodin is stronger. That much is obvious. At the end of last season it was very common for commentators to not his exceptional skill level and how it was being held back by his lack of strength. It was also pointed out that he was barely 20 when the season had started. He's clearly a year older and a year stronger. His play last night was obviously so impressive to head coach Scott Arniel that he was promoted to a regular five-on-five shift with centre Jordan Schroeder and Zack Kassian. The trio had multiple dominant shifts, partly due to Kassian's above-noted physical dominance, but also because Rodin was strong with the puck along the boards, getting himself often more than once, as well as Schroeder's creativity, agility and doggedness with the puck.
- Some notable scoring chance performances: Longpre 3, Kassian 2, Schroeder 3, Rodin 3, Sterling 2.
- Eddie Lack didn't have much to do in the first two periods, but what a performance in the third. Two of the goals - both on the powerplay - the Stork had next to no chance on, both slick cross-ice passes by Rockford's Martin St. Pierre to open men, who wired one-timers past Lack. All 13 of Rockford's third period scoring chances came in a ten-minute stretch, and included all three goals. But for Lack's efforts, it could have been far worse.
- Nathan Longpre is not Canucks property, but he must be at least on the edge of their radar. He was invited to camp last fall and impressed enough that the Wolves brought him into the fold. He started the year playing top-line minutes but as the Canucks shored up their lineup and the Wolves' his role diminished. He moved to Syracuse as part of the Samme Pahlsson deal, but the Wolves brought him back this summer. He looks set to play mostly third-line minutes, but they will be useful minutes. He scored a pair of goals against Rockford, including a shorthanded goal that started with blueline turnover he forced with a nifty pokecheck.
- The Wolves had consistent success with passing the puck out from behind of Rockford's net; three of their goals were created by playing the puck out from below the goal line (including Sterling's lucky bounce off of a Rockford defenceman).
- Patrick Mullen went very hard into the boards behind the Rockford net on a rush early in the 2nd period. He went off the ice favouring his shoulder and didn't return.
- Lines were Sterling-Ebbett-Haydar, Rodin-Schroeder-Kassian, Sweatt-Longpre-Pinizzotto, Miller-Mallet-Desbiens. The fourth line didn't see much ice time, though Miller and Desbiens did do some penalty killing. Defence pairings were Connauton-Tanev, Joslin-Mullen, Matheson-Anderson.
Question about Tanev, how do you think he looked. Last 2 games he's looked a little out of whack to me? I wonder if the pressure to alter his game is putting too much pressure on him. I noticed some uncharacteristic fumblings, and he slammed the puck on a goal against. Very uncharacteristic. I remember he had a great pre-season in Van last yr, but then had a few tough games to start the season and was sent down. I wonder if maybe he's just a show starter?
Either way, kids still great. Just wondering your thoughts.
October 15 2012, 02:09AM
So... uh... am I crazy or did you not mention the score?
October 15 2012, 11:40AM
Connauton was dominant over both games. Plays with a ton of confidence, too.
It seems to me Tanev is trying to build past his comfort zone and working on rounding out the offensive side of his game. That'll lead to some mistakes, but I think it's much to small a sample size to worry about what we've seen so far.
Plenty to be impressed about from a Canucks perspective, but I would have liked to see more of Mallet. It seemed I heard his name mostly in the first, but not much after that. Minimal ice time for the 4th line would account for that. I hope to get a better impression of how he's doing in the pros over the next little while though.

Frustrating Zipper
"Though this is a comfy boot, it is aggravating to put on because the zipper catches on the sweater thread all the time. Note that you may be battling a zipper to get your boots on and off if you purchase these. Had I not worn them about outside, I would have returned these."

Very warm and comfy
"These shoes are very warm, and keep my jeans dry during our Seattle downpours! The only thing I would say about them is that the shaft circumfrence is a bit bigger than I thought it would be, I was hoping I could wear these under pants as well as over jeans, but they are a little big for that. Other than that, I love them!"

I Really Wanted to Love Them
"This shoe doesn't come in half sizes, which is unfortunate for those of us who have half-size feet. I'm a 9.5 and another review said they run a little big, so I ordered the 9. It's too small, but I know a 10 will be too big. Sadly they'll be going back."

"Hospital patients don't get a holiday from needing blood and platelets," said John Petersen, communications program manager for the Red Cross Blood Service Region. "The closer we get to the major holiday week, the more we see donations decline. People are busy with gift shopping, holiday parties and there is an overall sense of distraction. We need donors to come in and give before they get too busy with other things."
Every two seconds, someone in the U.S. needs blood. On average, the Red Cross must collect 15,000 pints of blood every day to meet the needs of patients at approximately 2,700 hospitals and transfusion centers across the country. Blood donations are used to treat cancer patients, trauma victims, premature babies and those living with chronic blood diseases each and every day; patients like Kelsey Harris.
Kelsey Harris — a star athlete, attentive student and teenage driver — was on her way to school when she got into a serious accident. As a result of her injuries, Kelsey needed type O negative blood, the "universal" donor type. Kelsey's sister, Kenzie, said, "Without the help from those donors, my sister might not be alive today." Nearly all of Kelsey's family members are type O negative donors and they regularly give blood together. They are grateful for the donors that helped Kelsey make a recovery and say it is their way of giving back.
As a special "thank you," all those who present to donate blood from Tuesday, Dec. 24, through Friday, Jan. 3, will receive a commemorative long-sleeve American Red Cross T-shirt. *
Blood donors are encouraged to invite a loved one to follow in their footsteps and donate blood this holiday season. Visit http://rcblood.org/HolidayPostcard to upload a picture of your Red Cross blood donation and send a postcard to a loved one. For more information or to make an appointment to give blood or platelets, please visit redcrossblood.org or call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767).
* While supplies last. Quantities and sizes may be limited.

Gold's twelfth straight annual rise is clinched. The metal has notched a 2012 rise of just under seven percent, driven higher by … by what, precisely?
Some excellent food for thought comes by way of a recent paper on gold by Claude B. Erb and Duke University's Campbell R. Harvey, who take an extensive look at gold's price behavior over history. It's common enough to argue that the last few years' aggressive quantitative easing by the Federal Reserve and other central banks' moves toward currency debasement are the reason gold is marching higher. But the key distinction may be that investors' perceptions of this debasement, as much or more than the reality, may be the real factor, so tough to measure, that you should watch.
The price of gold is "very sensitive to even a remote possibility of another Weimar Republic‐like inflation episode," Erb and Harvey find in a study that reaches all the way back to Roman army pay scales. Their other conclusion that may not be very comforting to gold bulls: History suggests gold is not very useful as a hedge against unexpected inflation. Read the paper for the supporting data.
How about gold as a useful place to be in turbulent markets? Not in most cases. "[G]old may not be a reliable safe haven asset during periods of financial market stress." What about a haven from hyperinflation? It didn't work in Zimbabwe, the most recent place to see the phenomenon (the dollar, ironically, did work there). What about the role of low yields increasing gold's attraction? "[T]he argument that gold is attractive when real returns on other assets are low is spurious. Low real yields, say on TIPS, do not cause the real price of gold to be high."

Posted on 06/16/2013 7:42:14 PM PDT by AfricaDesk
The latest US State Department Human Rights Report on South Africa gave the country a near clean bill of health which is in stark contrast to the reality of what is going on there. Perhaps the Obama's want to see "Madiba" one last time before he dies and the country no longer holds any interest for them or perhaps the President enjoys being around a Government that rearranges reailty in much the same way as he does.
In truth South Africa is a dangerous place both for local minorities and for Americans.
(Excerpt) Read more at africacheck.org ...
they are spending the government dime while the spending is good
Because 0bama is a bi-racial mulatto?
The Secret Service believes that Local Schtooping is optimal?

I'm sick of the prostrations before that Mandela jerk.
BTW, what happened to old Winnie? Got himself a new young thang?
Lately I've been hearing solemn platitudes about this overrated jackass. But the most memorable was watching a piece for the Margaret Thatcher memorials, I think a Labour member of Parliament in Parliament, talking about how she WAS wrong about Mandela.
The hell she was wrong!
Oh, I don't know ..... returning to their roots perhaps?
Now if they'd only STAY there!
More frequent flying on the public's money miles?

Don't change the article title.

More open spaces to drop Michelle off with little danger of her hitting anyone on the ground?
There are a lot of reasons.One is "Why not? It's not our money".another is "gotta show the girls of how glorious a black ruled country can be".
Looking to see if a sweat shop down there needs some really poor quality black female leather?
Wonder's if he could take the place of Mandela, and scoop up all that respect if he moved.
Got drunk and booked his vacation trying to get back home, and forgot it was Kenya, not South Africa.
BTW, what happened to old Winnie? Got himself a new young thang?
Winnie has been quiet since she was exposed for Necklacing and other nasty communist things.
Thought it was close to Brazil.
"(It doesn't help that Zer0 has no slave blood.)"
It is more likely that he has the blood of 'slavers' flowing in his veins. All slaves from Africa were enslaved by other blacks or Muzzies.
Wanted to see those crazy Kangaroos that live down there...
Want's to sneak some blood-diamonds out for Moochelle.
It's the best way to spend as much taxpayer money while accomplishing nothing. Cloward & Pivens educated this saudi backed, American hating foreigner, he's executing their plan to a tee with a 100 percent media backing. Faux news will herald his efforts to nation build in Africa.
Genocide Watch reporting that there is an escalating genocide of the white minority. Over 69 000 white South Africans have been murdered
Later this month Barak Obama will visit South Africa with his family. It has been estimated the trip to Africa will cost the American taxpayer up to a hundred million dollars.
Is he going to learn a new communist takeover technique?

The American Heart Association (AHA) recommends eating less than 1,500 mg of sodium a day.
High sodium intake can increase the risk of having high blood pressure, which is a major risk factor for heart attack or stroke. Some people may be more sensitive to salt than others, but most Americans are still getting much more sodium in their diets then they need. There is evidence that if adults eat less sodium, their blood pressure decreases.
Since it is difficult to know who among us will benefit most from less salt, most organizations recommend that we all limit our salt intake. According to the United States Department of Agriculture, adults should limit their salt intake to no more than 2,300 mg per day. And those with high blood pressure, diabetes, or chronic kidney disease, as well as African Americans and adults 51 years or older should limit their sodium intake to less than 1,500 mg a day.
A major study in this area is DASH, the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension. This study found that a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and low-fat dairy products, and low in saturated fat, cholesterol, and saturated fat helped lower blood pressure. This is now known as the DASH diet. The second phase of the study found further reductions in blood pressure when the DASH diet was combined with a sodium intake of no more than 2,300 mg per day.
Sodium is found in many foods. Some are obvious, but others may surprise you.
Table salt, also known as sodium chloride, is the major source of dietary sodium. About 1/3 to 1/2 of the sodium we consume is added during cooking or at the table.
Fast foods and commercially processed foods, such as canned, frozen, and instant, also add a significant amount of sodium to the typical American diet. These include:
Sodium occurs naturally in:
All food products contain a Nutrition Facts label, which states a food's sodium content. The following terms are also used on food packaging:
|Food label term
|Sodium free
|Less than 5 mg/serving
|Very low sodium
|35 mg or less/serving
|Low sodium
|140 mg or less/serving
|Reduced sodium
|25% reduction in sodium content from original product
|Sodium is reduced by at least 50% per serving
|Unsalted, no salt added, without added salt
|Processed without salt when salt normally would be used in processing
Follow these tips to help lower your sodium intake:
Making dietary changes takes time, so go slowly and allow your taste buds to adjust.

In this view of Salisbury Cathedral Constable depicted a fisherman in the foreground by a bend in the river and tall trees to the left. Lucas had begun working on the plate by June 1831 (Shirley 1930, p. 193) probably basing it on a drawing and a painting of Salisbury Cathedral from Long Bridge (Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge), which Constable had made around 1829. Birds flying low over the water were added during the proofing, the trees lightened, the light in the sky diffused.
This progress proof was made before Constable asked Lucas to add the rainbow and before he removed the lightning flash.
Heysen wrote: 'I am liking my Salisbury print more' (Heysen, 23 February 1948, NLA MS 5073/1/5594).

With a little extra planning, traveling while breastfeeding or pumping is totally possible – but it's not always easy. Fortunately, companies are starting to take note of this reality and are providing nursing moms with increased support and accommodations. For example, Burlington International Airport in Vermont recently introduced a "Lactation Station" pod designed to give… Read More

Any type of incontinence can affect your overall quality of life. If your overactive bladder symptoms cause a major disruption to your life, you might also have:
Your doctor might recommend treatment of associated conditions, but it's unknown whether effective treatment of an associated condition will help with your urinary symptoms.
Some women also may have a disorder called mixed incontinence, when both urge and stress incontinence occur. Stress incontinence is the loss of urine when you exert physical stress or pressure on your bladder, such as during activities that include running or jumping. Treatment of the stress incontinence is not likely to help the overactive bladder symptoms.
Older people may have a common combination of bladder storage and bladder-emptying issues. The bladder may cause a lot of urgency and even incontinence, but it doesn't empty well. A specialist may be able to help you with this combination of bladder problems.

Astragalus Root (Astragalus membranaceus)Latin Name: Astragalus membranaceus
Common Names: Astragalus herb, huang qi, milk vetch
Astragalus root is one of many herbs known by several names. Astragalus membranaceus and Astragalus propinquus are both Latin names for the unique plant more commonly known as Astragalus root. Astragalus comes from the pea family, and has been used for thousands of years in traditional Chinese medicine. Astragalus herb is thought to boost overall vitality. In Chinese medicine it has been historically used to promote healing and reduce fatigue.
Astragalus Root is part of the largest genus of the Fabaceae family, with over two thousand members of that large and varied grouping. Astragalus membranceus have an alternate pattern of leaves on each stem. The flowers of the herb are built to attract the attention of pollinators, such as bees or hummingbirds. The flowers of are arranged in patterns of five sepals and five petals. The ovary inside the herb's flower develops into what is recognizably a legume. The roots of organic Astragalus membranaceus have rhizomes within their nodules. These rhizomes can assimilate nitrogen from the atmosphere and put it back into the ground where the plant is growing, which helps to replenish that important nutrient back into the soil.
You can utilize sliced Astragalus Root whole, cut and sifted or in a powder. A tea is commonly used to promote digestion. The tea can be made from the dried Astragalus Root. Starwest Botanicals offers whole sliced Astragalus Root, a cut and sifted form and astragalus powder for ease of use.
When used appropriately, astragalus herb and extract appears to be safe and to have few side effects. However, as with any herbal supplement, always check with your health care provider before taking astragalus root. Pregnant or nursing women should not use astragalus root, as research has not verified its effects.
In addition to the finest astragalus root sourced from China, Starwest offers astragalus extract and easy to use astragalus capsules in 100 or 500 count quantities.

I'll have to say Final Fantasy IX because it was my first FF game
I'll have to say Final Fantasy IX because it was my first FF game
Fighting online is like competing in the Special Olympics, even if you win you're still retarded
Set made by Ravona
Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 4 is my favorite game of all time. I've listed the reasons so much that I'm just gonna say you should check it out for yourselves. It's for PS2.
Favorite PlayStation 1 game has to be Final Fantasy IX. Loved its homage to previous titles, the story was fantastic and the battle and ability systems were top notch.
Favorite Wii game is No More Heroes. It's one of the only mature, funny and genuinely fun games on the Wii.
Favorite 360 game is Fallout 3. There's just so much to do that I never get bored with it. Street Fighter IV is a close second though.
And finally my favorite PC game is Warcraft III because of its longevity and its ability to be customized. Though, Starcraft II and The Old Republic Online may change that.
Props to Ravona for the awesome sig! Noel is the greatest and I challenge you to prove me otherwise!

Donkey Kong Country and Killer Instinct. as for new games i would have to go with forza motorsports 2.
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time

Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare
Age of Empires II: Age of Kings

I wanted you to see what real courage is, instead of getting the idea that courage is a man with a gun in his hand. It's when you know you're licked before you begin but you begin anyway and you see it through no matter what.
You all still have Zoidberg!
Well, I'm fonna say anything with FInal Fantasy characters in it. I'm currently stuck on FF2, but once I get my PS2 again, I'm gonna restart my 9 file, and work on it from there.
