GATINEAU- Vinicius Siqueira and Paulo Silva scored 11 points each and three more players contributed 10 apiece as Brazil downed Mexico 25-22, 25-20, 25-15 in the opening match for both countries at the Pan Am Cup men's volleyball tournament.
''We are happy with the result,'' said Brazil's coach Flavio Marinho. ''But it was hard because we didn't really know the Mexican team. So we had to adjust during the match. We didn't play our best but we hope to reach that during the competition.''
''It was a tense match,'' said Brazil's captain Anderson Rodrigues. ''Both teams were trying to adjust and for us this was our first official match of the season.''
Raphael Oliveira, Thiago Sens and Douglas Cordeiro also reached double digits for the victors who fielded their squad that is preparing for the World Military Games.
Marco Macias was the top scorer for Mexico with 11.
''They were a great team today,'' said Mexican captain Jorge Quinones. ''We couldn't control their serves and that complicated everything. We tried to play better and we played hard.''
''We started well,'' said Mexico's head coach Jorge Azair. ''Our players worked hard to receive Brazil's serve but we couldn't maintain that pace. We need to be more consistent.''
Group C Argentina def. Panama 25-16, 25-23, 25-21
Argentina withstands strong effort from Panama in last two sets
GATINEAU – Argentina withstood some heavy pressure from Panama in the last two sets to win 25-16, 25-23, 25-21 in the opening match for both teams at the Pan American Cup men's volleyball tournament.
''We are a young team and the first match is always difficult,'' said Argentina's head coach Juan Manuel Cichello. ''Panama was particularly strong in the second set where they were better on defence and made our job difficult.''
''It was a good first match,'' added Argentina's captain Juan Ignacio Finoli. ''We started a little bit nervous and we were playing a different system but we felt we prepared very well for our next matches.''
Augustin Ramonda led Argentina with 14 points and Federico Martina added 10. Donaldo Urena notched 12 points for Panama and Domingo Avila followed at 10.
"I want to congratulate Argentinean team," said Panama's head coach Sergio Balletas. "In the first set we were adjusting our game and made many mental errors especially with our services. In second and third set we were able to adjust a lot better."
"We were very motivated to play such a great team," added Panama's captain Ricardo Brown. "We know they are very good and we just watched them on TV recently. We were a little stressed at times but we are proud to represent our region of Central America."
Argentina and the U.S., are tied first in Group C at one win and no losses while Panama and Bahamas are 0-1.
Group C USA def. the Bahamas 25-14, 25-12, 25-12

It was also the first match ever for the Bahamas in the history of the tournament.
''It was a privilege for us to play the U.S.,'' said Bahamas head coach Raymond Wilson. ''It allowed to see where we are at and what we need to do in order to compete.''
It was a special moment as well for Renaldo Knowles, a 12-year national team veteran on the Bahamian squad.
''It means a lot to me to compete at this tournament,'' he said. ''It's a great tournament to be a part of.''

Group B Canada def. Puerto Rico 25-17, 25-17, 25-17
Canadians say they need to be better after win over Puerto Rico at Pan Am Cup
GATINEAU – Canada dominated Puerto Rico to open the Pan Am Cup men's volleyball tournament but head coach Glenn Hoag and his players know they will have to play much better if they plan to go deep into tournament.
The Canadians won the tournament opener 25-17, 25-17, 25-17 in one hour and 17 minutes.
''There's a lot of work to do and we are looking to get better,'' said Hoag at a post match press conference. ''For us, this is a preparation for our Olympic qualifying tournaments later this year.''
Gavin Schmitt of Saskatoon led the Canadian attack with 14 points while Nicholas Cundy of Edmonton added seven and Justin Duff of Winnipeg and Fred Winters of Victoria six each.
''It was great to be back in the Canadian uniform,'' said Schmitt, who played professionally in South Korea this past winter. ''We are working on getting back into the system and right now we need to focus on execution and cohesion.''
Ezequiel Cruz was the top scorer for Puerto Rico with 10 points while Ulises Maldonado added nine.
''We are here to obtain some valuable experience,'' said Puerto Rico's head coach Ariel Diaz. ''We have some young guys who have never played together before. We made a lot of mistakes while Canada served and blocked really well.''

"I was so excited when I ordered these boots, I ordered them a 1/2 size larger because I normally buy a Wide shoe size. The problem is one I've never run across before, the HEEL is incredibly tight and painful! It feels like i'm wearing a wooden torture device on the heel of my foot. Other then that the toes were not bad and the it fit great on the calf thanks to the stretch fabric. But the leather slouches so bad! I was going to keep them if it wasn't for that (with blind hopes of stretching out the heel) but the fabric slouches so bad on the ankle that they look cheap and old and worn out. I am so sad to be returning these, and I will do it ASAP before I loose my mind because the box and the duster are so cute!"

JSTOR, a large digital repository for historical, full-text academic journals, announces individual accounts for people not otherwise affiliated with colleges or universities. Databases like JSTOR usually cost thousands of dollars for an annual subscription, yet are invaluable to researchers. Typically, only college and university libraries will subscribe to them for this reason.
Last year, in a move likely a partial response to Aaron Swartz's untimely death (and court case) and partially a recognition that a market exists for individual researchers, JSTOR announced Register & Read. With Register & Read a person could access and download up to 3 articles every 14 days, for free. Now there is JPASS, a monthly subscription model that individuals can use to access more journals and better research tools.
A database like JSTOR isn't for everybody, but for those who want access to scientific research, often from the earlier half of the 20th century, JSTOR is almost the only game in town. I welcome their move to expand access to information.
And for the month of October, don't miss out on free access to more databases!

I know we have had a wet year and, have a lot of hay stored. For those of you who do not like to feed hay any more then you need to, you might want to put some nitrogen on some grass fields now and keep the cows off until first frost. Remember, it costs 37 cents per head per day to graze a cow, and $2.50 per head per day to feed one cow hay.

The 4-H Young Riders would like to invite everyone in Washington County to attend the annual Washington County Fair Horse Show scheduled for Saturday, Aug. 8. The show will be held at the Willisburg Community Park 4-H Horse Show Arena beginning at 4 p.m. The gate fee is $2per person or $5 per car. What a great way to spend an evening and support the community! Show bills are available from the Washington County Extension Office. Classes include lead line and also classes for Walking, Racking, Hunter, Western Pleasure and Contest divisions.
I discussed tomatoes last week, so sweet corn gets the nod this week. From what I have determined this has been the worst year in terms of actually getting to eat your sweet corn, even though it has been a bumper crop. I am talking about the many critters that have been eating it before we do. The calls I have gotten include birds, raccoons, deer, and of course worms. Out of all of these the birds are probably the most difficult to control. A scarecrow, some loud music, or maybe even some wind chimes or old cd's hanging high in the patch to blow and flash
We received this article from Dr. Roy Burris, University of Kentucky Beef Specialist, and thought we should share it with our local beef producers.
What's Happening to the Cow Herd?
If you've been in this business for a while, you've seen how the nation's cow herd is always changing. History can sometimes be a good teacher, so it is probably good to consider where we are now, and to reflect on where we have been.
If you haven't already started a fungicide program on your tomato plants this year, you may want to start. Last week I, along with most agriculture agents and horticulture agents in the state, received an e-mail from the Vegetable Plant Disease Pathologist from the University of Kentucky.
Fireworks, fried apple pies, boating, swimming, archery, campfire– all of the words say summer fun! That's what Washington County 4-Her's experienced and more, June 29 – July 2 at Lake Cumberland 4-H Camp. Thirty-one campers and counselors from Washington County joined with Taylor, LaRue, Meade and Russell counties for a week of camp activities and fun.
Aquaculture enthusiasts will have an opportunity to learn more about the enterprise at a July field day in Frankfort.
Kentucky State University and the Kentucky Cooperative Extension Service are offering a free Aquaculture Field Day from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. EDT July 25 at KSU's Aquaculture Research Center. Participants will have a chance to learn more about research regarding largemouth bass, koi, freshwater prawn, crayfish and paddlefish.
Recently, the Kentucky Office of the State Entomologist, in consultation with the Kentucky Department of Agriculture and the University of Kentucky College of Agriculture, issued a quarantine for 20 counties due to the emerald ash borer. Since the quarantine was issued, questions have arisen about the emerald ash borer, including controlling its spread and effects on ash trees.
Recently Kentuckians have experienced some of the highest heat indices of the season. Livestock become uncomfortable when the heat index reaches about 90 degrees. With heat indices at or above that level this week, it's critical for producers to be aware of what's going on with the animals.
I have gotten several calls about plants doing weird things and having weird diseases only to get samples and home visits to determine that the plants were actually suffering from herbicide spray drift. What gardeners need to realize is that not all herbicides stay where they are sprayed and that some plants are very sensitive to some of these chemicals. Also, if you spray herbicide and it damages someone else's plants you are liable.

looks good. higher contrast would be nice, though.

Great job.

Are you a One Piece Fan? Then click HERE, you wont regret it!!!
looks good but like stated above its missing contrast, your whites aren't white enough due to smudgeing i would guess nothing an kneaded eraser wouldn't cure. and the darkest color needs to be very dark, thus giving it a nice contrast which adds to the feel of the picture.
for instance the whites of the dbz characters eyes should be noticably white versus his face.

Good shading. I especially like the strong, bold lines. The only thing, as others have said, is the contrast. Make your lights lighter and your darks darker. I recommend using one of those white erasers to highlight areas. Then just take a soft-leaded pencil (or charcoal if you have it), and rework your darker areas. Or ... bring your artwork into your favorite image-editing program and tweak the contrast there.
Well done. I really like the drawing on the right.

Fugetaboutit!!! Mile High Manning's Broncos rule... as I cannot root for the Seahags--
However, if Pete's Coffee Kids sneak in a win... I'll survive.
"When it's third and ten, you can have the milk drinkers... I'll take the whiskey drinkers every time." - Max McGee, Green Bay Packers receiver.
"My knees look like they lost... a knife fight with a midget." - E.J. Holub, Kansas City Chiefs linebacker regarding his 12 knee operations
"I don't know... I only played there for nine years." - Walt Garrison, Dallas Cowboys fullback when asked if Tom Landry ever smiles.
"The film looks... suspiciously like the game itself." - Bum Phillips, New Orleans Saints, after viewing a lopsided loss to the Atlanta Falcons.
"Because if it didn't work out... I didn't want to blow the whole day." - Paul Hornung, Green Bay Packers running back on why his marriage ceremony was before noon.
"I won't know... until my barber tells me on Monday." - Knute Rockne, when asked why Notre Dame had lost a game.
"The only difference between me and General Custer is that... I have to watch the film on Monday." - John McKay as the first head coach of the expansion Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
And the Broncos are going to win Sunday, PERIOD... or all my drinks will be be put on all y'all Seattle Fans' tabs--
You are a tad early...
"I'm in favor of it." - John McKay's answer to if he had any comments on his team's execution.
Its tie...
4300 avail tix on StubHub.
La times reporter: coach mackay. What do you think of your teams execution?
Mackay: I think it would be a good idea.
I defer to your earlier post
What's the score?
Nothin' nothin'.
Who's winning?
The Bears.
Wake me when somebody scores.
Oh ma HA!
I could tell that McKay rubbed off on Spurrier for that one year Spurrier played for him in Tampa.
I'm pulling for the Seahawks (lived there during the Dave Kreig/Steve Largent/Chuck Knox...Brian Boswell :{) years). I've got a lot of respect for Russel Wilson after seeing him in his final year at Wisconsin. I'll be fine if the Broncos win because of Manning and Montee Ball, another Wisconsin connection. Either way I'll learn the result the following morning.
Super Bowl XLVIII
They probably won't be doing this on Sunday..
Anyway, I turned the tv on mid-morning to the nfl channel,
the woman (nfl am program I believe) interviewed Richard Sherman's brother, then asked the brother what he would wear on arrival in NJ. !!!??!! REALLY ??!!!!
All they (the channel) have to do is run past games (all the games) non-stop, skip all that 'expert analysis' and the dudettes. Can't stand all that talking and all about trivial things too.
[Ahem, same goes for mlb channel.] (rant off)
Alas....I'm right there with you, bud.
Hopefully my son will have delivered (DVD set) Season 6 of BREAKING BAD so I can be watching that on Sunday evening. If not, I'll be watching "Spartacus: Vengeance".
I was ambivalent until learning that Pete Carroll was likely a 9-11 troofer.
Like I really needed another reason to dislike him.
Goin' with the Broncs.
I'm a Seattle fan, and even I have started to tire of it. But some of the stuff is interesting. Sherman's brother is his manager of sorts, so is pretty involved in everything. Also interesting to hear some of the stories of the Denver guys.
E. J. Holub started Superbowl 1 on defense as Linebacker. He started Superbowl 4 on offense as Center. He is the only player to ever do this.
Gadzooks, Star-- And he's not only an Original Dallas Texan... he's a native Texan.
The Chiefs/Texans also had a tight end (Fred Arbanas) back then who was sucker punched on the street blinding him in one eye. He made two AFL Allstar games (which are considered as AllPro games) after that. Those boys were rugged.
Is it over yet??
I forgive Fred for being a Yankee (born January 14, 1939, in Detroit, Michigan)... and for being a Democrat (In 1992 he ran in the Democratic primary against incumbent U.S. Congressman Alan Wheat, but did not win)--
But if he ever... gives up drinking... we split the blanket!
We interrupt this Super Bowl 48 LIVE Thread... with a CNN Sports Breaking News, Ken Brockmann reporting--
Here is a partial score... Denver 7.
We return you to the Super Bowl 48 LIVE Thread already in progress... This has been a CNN Sports Breaking News, Ken Brockmann reporting--
I will be watching the DVD of Gods and Generals... followed by tonight's episode of "Justified" I will be recording on my Tivo.
When I was a teen in the 60's I used to work for a guy who had a 2000 customer paper route. Fred was one of our customers (lived real close to another customer that was part of the Kansas City mob but that's a different story). He used to come out and talk to us and was a real nice guy. (Dems back then were almost normal). Later my dad who installed fancy showers worked in his house and noticed his accent was close to my moms' who was a Yooper. Turns out his wife was from the same town in the upper peninsula where I was born and he had picked up her dialect.
Then I'll worry about the semi-
Super Bowl (No Packers...No Patriots)
When MacKay was at USC there was a coaches' press breakfast every Monday morning during the season. The LA Times sports section carried a report. The other coaches (Rams, UCLA etc) did about 15 minutes each including questions and MacKay took up to an hour. Everybody wanted to hear him, including the other coaches.
Lazy ESPN experts don't have their picks in yet.
I am taking Denver, 21-20. Manning will dig deep so his little brother won't have more rings than him anymore, the ultimate motivation.
What's the wind forecast? WSJ had an analysis showing Manning has been unsuccessful when winds were 20mph and above.
"Denver Broncos wide receiver Demaryius Thomas won't be able to give out Super Bowl tickets to two of his biggest fans. Both his mother and grandmother are in prison, his mother in the midst of serving a 20-year sentence and his grandmother a life sentence for cocaine distribution."
Hell yeah, "Justified" for me too, thank goodness for basic cable.
Maybe I'll watch the 50 different Republican replies later.
That's at 9, 10 Eastern though, what's on at 8, hmm crappy ep of Star Trek on BBC America. I guess I'll fling my poo at Obama for a while. Blackhawks game starts at 8:30.
I thought it was low temps that got him. I heard mid 30's at KO and not enough wind to be a factor.
C'mon Peyton, for older brothers everywhere!!!!!
Cold weather effecting games is fine but I don't like for the SB.
I was originally going with an upset, but with the good weather forecast:
Death wish is on new MOvies TV network LOL!
"...thank goodness for basic cable."
Oh, really? REALLY?
This is better: https://aereo.com/coverage/chi
And beware of Skokie, cousin Rueben comes from there.
I'm not planning on watching the SB; that said, go SEA.
I agree with "Da Coach": Cold weather SB is stupid.
Is Khent making you watch the "Puppy Bowl" on Animal Planet? ;p
No way. Khent moved out. I have 0 interest in the game.
Gadzooks, Bat--- I could not have possibly said it... better!
Yes, it is time... for Russell to get his priorities... straight!
I agree !
After the Forty-Niners game a reporter asked Wilson what he was thinking about as he was taking a knee at the end of the game to go to the Super Bowl.
It was something to the effect of "To think I might have picked baseball."

Randy Gregg played just over 450 regular season games for the Edmonton Oilers, and another 130 in the playoffs. Those games represent the 'golden era' for the Edmonton Oilers: 6 Cup finals, 5 Stanleys. And the Oilers almost didn't get him.
Randy Gregg (#4, wearing the C for Team Canada at the at the 1980 Winter Olympics in Lake Placid. CP Photo/ COA) was never drafted (eligible for the 1976 Amateur Draft) but was a player of note as a University of Alberta Golden Bear (played 75-79 for the U of A). Gregg had a different set of priorities and wanted a different life experience than the ones offered by junior hockey, and when he graduated from University NHL teams were lining up to sign him.
One problem. Gregg--the intelligent, independent young man who went another route--once again decided against signing with the NHL and its feeder system, opting instead to play for the Canadian Olympic team in Calgary (and working toward the 1980 Olympic dream). At that time, plenty of NHL clubs (notably the Atlanta Flames and New York Rangers) were after him, but unlike several other Oly candidates Gregg stayed the course:
- October 3, 1979 Edmonton Journal (Jim Coleman): The ice leader of the Nationals appears to be the Big Doctor. The young gentleman in question is Randy Gregg, who graduated this year from the faculty of medicine at the University of Alberta. The big doctor is quite a kid--he appears to be about 6 feet 5 inches tall, and although he isn't the swiftest skater in the world, he is very steady on his blades. He is one of those heady defencemen who can control the flow of the game.
Gregg would play for Canada at the Olympics, and then because he wanted to further study medicine he then played 2 additional seasons outside the NHL's influence in Japan (with the "Kukudo Bunnies" no less) before finally settling in to an NHL career at age 26. One final thing: Gregg's agent during negotiations with Oilers GM Glen Sather? Randy Gregg.
Of course.
On a team that had so much flash and dash, it was easy to overlook the steady and effective Randy Gregg. He arrived whole, a complete and mature package which further led to fans taking the big man for granted. Further, Gregg conducted himself with such class and dignity that he rarely made the news for anything at all!
He was, as they say, a consummate professional. In the middle of his career Gregg (1986) Gregg was thinking about moving on with his other career and the Oilers had another period of worry; it was at that time that John Short wrote another of his brilliant columns (it is here).
It is not to say Gregg was incapable of emotion. The guy could take care of himself and he was a quality defender in all elements of the game. One of the few times I can recall anything unusual about his career was an exchange between he and HNIC commentator Don Cherry. Gregg missed a wide open net (Cherry: "I wouldn't want a guy with those hands standing over me with a sharp object") and Gregg responded ("as a hockey coach, Don Cherry makes a fair color man") but things quickly got themslves solved when Cherry apologized.
Gregg is about one minute in.
- 5 Stanley Cups ('84, '85, '87, '88, '90)
- Member of Canada's 1980 and 1988 Olympic teams
- He led the Bears to two national championships.
- In his final season at the U of A he was named the Canadian Intercollegiate Player of the Year.
- Claimed by Vancouver from Edmonton in Waiver Draft, October 1, 1990. He would play 21 games for the Canucks in the 1991-92 season before retiring.
Born in Edmonton in 1956, in the same hospital where he would one day intern, Randy Gregg entered the science programme at the University of Alberta when he was only sixteen, hoping one day to follow his older brother, Ron, into the field of medicine. However, it would be 13 years from the day that Gregg graduated with his medical degree until he entered his final year of residency. Over the course of that time, he had skated for Canada in the Olympics twice, been playing coach in Japan for two years, won the Canada Cup, and earned five Stanley Cup rings as a stay-at-home defenseman with Edmonton. In the meantime, he graduated to double harness, saw four children born into their home, and managed to complete all but that final year of his studies and apprenticeship.
Randy Gregg is married to Olympian Kathy Vogt and Jamie Gregg and Jessica Gregg are their children.
In Gregg's first season with the Oilers, he was still listed in the phone book under Dr. Randy Gregg.
I was 10 at the time.
I called the number once.
He answered and I said "good game Randy!" (it was the morning after a game)
He said "Thanks, anything else"
I panicked and hung up the phone.
True story.
Had the pleasure of working with Randy during my residency - I didn't press him for any insider info, but he'd come up with a few stories now and again about the old days - awesome!
He definitely had his own priorities and wasn't afraid to make his own way was he? I like referring him patients and seeing if any of them actually know who he is, lol.
There was another Dr defenseman from U of A as well - former Captain Blair St Martin played for the Golden Bears for 5 years and was invited to a couple of Oiler camps if I recall correctly. No NHL for him though - he's now a practicing urologist, also still in Edmonton.
Randy Gregg wrist shot......for us old timers here.
Hopefully the brass can find another one like him for the boys on the bus 2.0. He was a great addition to the fist edition.
Scrolling over on the linked Short article and the paper has the Oilers TC depth chart.
Crazy deep.
Also the 8th C on the chart is Tony Hand.
Danny Gare is the 5th RW.
I'm sure he'd like to forget the stint with the Canucks,not the way you'd like to see the doc end his career. One of the unsung heroes from the boys on the bus era. Regarding the Short article, Gretzky and Dunigan both in Edmonton,those were the frickin' days!!
January 11 2013, 09:12AM
What the **** am I doing with my life???
LT an interesting article on Katz from before christmas. I'm not sure if you've seen this one or not. Some good quotes from Mac-T in there at the end.
January 11 2013, 11:23AM
Great piece, LT!! RG is one of my all-time fave Oilers. Steady as hell. Smart. And that blooper reel is a huge find, I'm going to find the other 2 parts. Thanks!
January 11 2013, 11:54AM
A true roll model for all. Humble and dignified.
I remember in 1990 when Gregg was lost on the waiver draft. Sather didn't want to lose him but didn't have the space on the protected list because he had younger prospects that he had to protect instead.
Dr Gregg understood the situation and sent a fax to all the other franchises informing them he had no interest in leaving Edmonton and he would retire if any other team selected him. The Canucks selected him anyway and Gregg promptly retired, only to be convinced to come out of retirement one year later for a short playing stint in Hongcouver.
January 11 2013, 11:59AM
I'm trying to remember who Gregg was paired with for that last cup.
I believe the pairings were: Lowe and Muni......Smith and Beukaboom(the twin towers).....and I think it must have been Gregg and Huddy.
January 11 2013, 12:09PM
I remember there were rumors after Randy was claimed by Vancouver, they wanted to trade him to Pittsburgh. He didn't go because he didn't want to move that far away from his family and his 4, at the time, young children. Crazy that he could have potentially won 2 more Stanley Cups with Mario and Jagr.
Also doesn't mention that his daughter won a couple medals in Vancouver and son also competed in the olympics.
An easy going guy. While very effective he rarely got into conflicts on the ice. The one or two times I seen him get his back up, he showed his strength.
He also played 3rd base for the Edmonton Tigers before joining the Oilers - which I think was in a pro league.

@Bicepus Maximus - I Fehr The Worst
I was going to say
I...feel... inadequate.
Randy Gregg played for the love of the game and was a doctor as his job. It was a simpler time during the first round of the boys on the bus ..... GO OILERS !
Of the players in today's game, who has the educational credentials that even come close to Dr. Gregg?
Are they any lawyers/engineers/doctors in the league today?
Or is the trend of junior hockey as the preferred path to the NHL leaving us a bunch of HS graduates as our new 'heroes'

George Parros, not even close to Gregg as a player obviously, he is a Princeton grad in Economics, regarded as one of the smartest athletes around.
Kevin Westgarth is also a Princeton grad, Psychology.
I think if Taylor Fedun makes the NHL at some point he'd have to be up there, another Princeton grad in Mechanical Engineering.

Virgin Blue Signals Early Adelaide Arrival02/11/2000
Virgin Blue Airlines will begin flying between Brisbane and Adelaide as of December 15th, six weeks ahead of its planned February target and just in time for those wanting to travel during the Christmas holiday period.
The announcement was made by Chairman, Richard Branson, during a visit to Adelaide today, where he met with government, tourism and airport officials as well as travel trade representatives.
Fast-tracking the service follows the huge demand for a low fare carrier to service the people of Adelaide, as well as the obvious need for increased direct links between these two key leisure and business markets.
Virgin Blue is offering its lowest fare at $149 one way without any requirement to buy 21 days in advance or stay over a weekend.
Additionally, Virgin Blue's unrestricted (walkup) fares are over 50% lower than those offered by existing carriers on the same route.
The airline will operate two direct daily return services at peak morning and evening times doubling capacity on the route and allowing, as Richard Branson put it, " both leisure and business travellers to make unrestricted trips on Virgin's red aircraft without going into the red."
Richard continued enthusiastically, "I encourage South Australians and all Australians for that matter, to fly Virgin Blue and then tell me our staff aren't the most wonderfully warm, professional and capable bunch of people they have ever encountered in the air and on the ground."
Virgin Blue Chief Executive Officer, Brett Godfrey, added, "it's glaringly obvious that the needs of Adelaide people have been neglected by the major airlines by forcing them to constantly change planes at their congested hubs. We believe there is a huge demand for direct flights, lower fares and Virgin Blue's fresh, innovative and genuine approach to customer service".
Brett Godfrey continued "With overseas travel being so expensive, Queenslanders can sample spectacular scenery and wine domestically, where a dollar is still worth a dollar. Additionally, price conscious South Australian leisure travellers will get affordable service to The Gold and Sunshine Coasts, as well as Brisbane, in a more timely manner than if they had been forced to change planes in Sydney or Melbourne."
Virgin Blue will operate out of the International Terminal and Adelaide airport has thrown its support behind the airline, expediting a terminal upgrade to cater for Virgin Blue passengers.
The low fare carrier has further development plans for Adelaide and sees tremendous growth potential on other key routes from the South Australian capital.
The airline will take delivery of two more Boeing 737-400's next month, allowing Virgin Blue to operate the Adelaide-Brisbane route as well as increase frequencies on existing routes.
Virgin Blue's fleet has an average age of less than six years, younger than either of the major airlines, and Virgin Blue will soon operate the youngest fleet in the world when it takes delivery from Boeing of 10 brand new Next Generation 737's from April next year.

How to Skinny Your Beverage
You've probably heard of our sinfully delicious, guilt-free Skinny Lattes – available in Caramel, Vanilla, Hazelnut and Cinnamon Dolce. These treats each come in around 90 calories, 0g fat and 9g protein for a Tall (12 fl oz) serving. Plus they have about 30% of your U.S. daily value in calcium.
But with a few simple substitutions, you can make just about any drink Skinny. One of my favorites is a Skinny Caramel Macchiato. It's not on the menu – it's simply a Caramel Macchiato made with nonfat milk and sugar-free vanilla syrup. You can still keep the caramel drizzle topping for a little added indulgence and have only about 110 calories.
Here is how to make your favorite drink Skinny:
Opt for nonfat milk. That saves up to 120 calories and 15g fat.
Switch to sugar-free syrup. That trims off about 20 calories and 5g sugar per pump of syrup!
Hold the whip. Whipped cream adds about 50 to 110 calories and 5 to 11g of fat to your drink.
Here are some additional ways to shave calories in your favorite drink:
Choose an iced drink. When you add ice, you displace some of the milk. So while you'll be missing out on a little calcium, you'll be saving a few calories. For example, a Tall Skinny Vanilla Latte is about 90 calories; the Iced version is only about 60.
Add espresso. An espresso shot has about 5 calories. Adding a shot of espresso displaces an ounce of the milk, which lowers the overall calories. For example, an Iced Tall Nonfat Latte is about 70 calories. Add a shot, and you have an Iced Double Tall Nonfat Latte at approximately 60 calories.
Ask for extra foam. The foamier the milk, the less calories in the drink. This is why a Cappuccino has fewer calories than a Caffè Latte.
A disclaimer: Calorie numbers will vary depending on the type and size of the drink, of course. Because we make our drinks by hand, nutrient values may vary, but they reflect our standard recipes and retail operating procedures.

Basically, here's everything I meant to blog about over the past two days but didn't have time to do:
(1) My sorority pledge class painted the rock Monday night.
Hence the lack of blog post that day. I went to the rock right after my classes ended at 2pm, stayed there a few hours, ran back to my dorm to get warm clothes and everything I needed to make it through the night, ate dinner, and went back. I was at the rock from about 6pm until just before 7:30am. I got three hours of sleep. I woke up and was so cold that I couldn't move. But somehow, through all that, I managed to have a great time. Weird, right?
(2) It was my mom's birthday on Monday.
I called her that night and she told me she has bronchitis. I think there should be a law against being sick –especially having bronchitis!– on your birthday. But hey, at least it happened in the spring so we can't claim I gave it to her, right? (Mom, feel better soon!)
(3) I got more sleep last night than the two previous nights combined. Seriously, my sleep pattern this week has been awful, even for me. Five hours Saturday night, five on Sunday, three on Monday. I thought I was going to pass out during class yesterday, so I decided to be in bed by midnight, no matter what. (Hence the lack of blog post that day. Class and homework kind of took priority.) I was successful. Hello eight and a half hours of sleep. When was the last time that happened on a school night? No freaking clue.
(4) My roommate and I have had some drama these past few days. Our smoke alarm keeps going off. When there isn't a fire in our room. It happened a bit last semester, but hadn't yet this semester–until Sunday night. At around 4am. S made me get out of bed because she thought our room was on fire. When we realized it was our smoke alarm malfunctioning, she smacked it repeatedly until it turned off. It happened again Monday night (when I was sleeping in a tent in the freezing cold) and twice last night. Seriously, not cool.
In other news, the weather sucks. Is it May yet?

Johannesburg (or Joni, eGoli, Jozi, Joeyes, or Joburg as referred to affectionately by the locals) is a city with many faces. One minute you can be in a posh neighbourhood, the next somewhere funky, and the next in a dodgy spot that then can morph into urban chic a moment later. Like the country, Joburg promises a life with never a dull moment. In urban legend it is known as the largest man-made forest for its leafy suburbs, and come October it gives Pretoria a run for its money when the jacarandas are in full bloom. Granted, it doesn't qualify as a real forest more streets and building than trees but city dwellers love their trees and the added oxygen they provide.
Johannesburg is renowned for its variety of cuisine. It's a nation with a rainbow of flavours, though some restaurants deserve special mention.
In the Quartermain Hotel you will find Sel et Poivre, where chef Coco Reinarhz will delight your taste buds. The restaurant has lovely outdoors and indoor seating areas and the tranquil gardens of the Quartermain will have you wondering how you escaped the hustle and bustle of busy Sandton so quickly.
There is only one place in town to feast on Rabbit - La Cucina Di Ciro, located in Parktown North. The idea behind Ciro's kitchen is that you can see how your food is prepared while sitting comfortably in a homely setting, yet enjoying top class food and service.
After a night on the town, or for just a simple Sunday brekkie, get to The Hill at Constitution Hill. Because it is a Heritage Site you can take in some culture after you've woken up and see how far we've come. In Craighall you'll find Burnside Café, another favourite for weekend breakfasts, this time on a porch instead of a hill.
Not far down Burnside Avenue you'll find The Base, known for its gourmet pizza and roaring fires in winter. Yes, Johannesburg gets rather icy in July. Of course, The Ant (Mellville) is the other pizza place not to miss especially when your bohemian side is calling.
Bars & Nightlife
Maboneng is a downtown neighbourhood that's part of the ongoing rejuvenation of Joburg. It's a trendy neighbourhood to stay in, full of small movie theatres, markets, and live events. Be there or be square indeed.
First stop in Maboneng is Lenin's Vodka Bar, where you can get a real Russian mule cocktail, amongst others. Vodka, food, and cocktails are served in a revolutionary atmosphere.
Head to Stanley's Beer Yard at 44 Stanley in Millpark for the absolute best craft beers in town the pumpkin ale is one you will never forget. Of course, while you are in the area, there are plenty of shops to browse with lovely apparel and bric-a-brac for your home.
Though it's had some ups and downs, 7th Street in Melville is still one of the places to be. Its delicate balance between night and day activities remains intact, and it lives on strongly. The street is home to bars, eateries, and shops to delight any day-time browser or night-time reveller.
A must-visit place on 7th Street is Jo'Anna Melt Bar, where they serve the finest tequilas with black salt. You have to drink one to understand. Just go. Plus, where else will you find mac & cheese and cocktails?
Join a Soweto Shebeen Tour at night for a unique experience. Quite a few companies offer tours. Better to venture out with the tours if Soweto is not your forte.
Music venues are aplenty in Joburg indie rock, pop, classical, Afrikaans, too mention but a few options. You can find what's on this week online and here at Gumtree.
Of special mention is the Orbit (Braamfontein) offers a new home for jazz. With a line-up of the country's best players, this is the place to get your weekly jazz fix. In a town hooked on music and jazz, it is about time that we got a regular jazz venue again! Their bistro also provides tasty meals that won't shake your pocket too much.
When it comes to finding the best recreation and things to do in Joburg, The Jozi Fixer (find them online) offers an exclusive service for those who want to take in the city's sights and sounds: they will arrange everything for an experience that will linger for many years. Joburg is a city that offers something new every day, one whose variety and texture are best experienced by getting out and seeing for yourself what's on offer to immerse yourself in. Take a sense of adventure, and keep your eyes open.
The JHB Zoo is one of the best zoos around. It offers meanders amongst enclosures and hosts annual events for kids and holiday programmes to keep young minds occupied.
Conserved as a nature reserve, the koppies (hills/ridges) offer views of what the ridges may have been before gold was discovered and man started digging for it in the City of Gold (Egoli). Guided walks are available on weekends, but many prefer to simply enjoy a stroll in Mellville Koppies East with their canine friends or in groups. It's best not to brave the koppies on your own.
Walter Sisulu Botanical Gardens, aka Emmerentia Dam, is a gorgeous wonder. On one side are the botanical gardens, with their beautifully landscaped temperate zones. On the other is the magnificent dam (which, despite its singular name, is actually several dams), where you can take your dog for walks and go mountain biking. The area offers so much for urban dwellers in search of some relatively fresh air. With some luck you'll spot the nesting pair of Verreaux's Eagles at the waterfall.
The Sci-bono Museum is the new kid on the block in the museum space. It offers interactive science displays for children that will delight the accompanying parents as well.
The Apartheid Museum is not to be missed. It's not just for the foreign tourists, either, as their wealth of information and exhibits can help locals brush up on the past, too.
Mrs. Ples and other important discoveries aside, the Cradle of Mankind/Maropeng museum offers a rich look at our paleontological history, as well as offering a conference venue and highly-acclaimed restaurant.
Joburg Theatre is set in the city, just walking distance from the Gautrain station. The theatre offers an array of great productions in its theatres.
Monte Casino in Fourways has shops and venues with comedy, live music, and theatre productions galore. Pieter Toerien brings out international acts including Cirque de Soleil, famous ballet companies, and musicals.
Coffee & Sweets
One of the best places to get your red velvet fix is Isabella's in Northriding. The coffee is out of the world and they offer high tea and other function options for a stork tea or bridal shower with a difference.
Bean There in Millpark offers a selection of their own freshly roasted coffees complemented perfectly with the best Fair Trade coffees available. All offered in a lovely setting that variety in a lovely setting will invite you back time and time again.
There are so many options for great coffee and cake in Jozi that listing just a couple will leave a many excellent ones off the list.

Their coffee is always accompanied by the best pastries the city can offer, and some establishments offer light lunches, too. Many shops bustle with business meetings while others specialise in providing quiet corners to work on that novel you are writing.
For great tasting sweets, you must visit any one of the many artisan markets available in Maboneng and the Northern Suburbs.

Neigbourgoods Market, open every Saturday and Sunday, is the market that's home to organic produce and is considered a must do by many. Get your fresh produce and trendy wares there in an atmosphere that is difficult to explain but certainly hard to match. Neigbourgoodly' is probably the term that would work best.

Shops & Services
Johannesburg has shops for every taste. Some have been around for many years, and most have a niche market to serve. The rooftop markets are always brilliant, and many others offer entertainment for kids as well as live music on weekends.
The Sheds@1Fox is a warehouse space in the CBD (Fereirastown) that has been revamped into a hipster's shopping paradise no need to set foot in a mall ever again. Don't let the stark exterior fool you inside it has been completely transformed. It's open Thursday through Sunday.
Collector's Treasury on Commissioner Street is just what the name suggests: four floors of antiques, collectables, records, and books.
Head over to the Chinese malls at Crown Mines to forget how prices have escalated out of control (or remember what they used to be!). It is absolutely fantastic for childrens' Christmas gifts (you won't believe the price of kids' favourites at discount). You will also find more scarves, handbags, and home and party ware than you could ever use. Every time you venture out you will find something new. Of course, be aware of your surroundings it's the big city after all, but the malls are considered safe. Remember to take cash, as many shop owners don't accept plastic. Fortunately the bigger malls have cash machines on hand.
Joburg offers countless delights to satisfy any needs or wishes, whether you live there or are visiting on holiday. One last bit of advice: if flying in, keep in mind that Johannesburg is abbreviated as JHB or JNB.
If you've ever visited Cape Town, you'll know all about the unique vibe our city has to offer. Local hotspots and culture flood the streets, and in the summer time it's a permanent vacation haven.

Bars & Nightlife
Fiction (Long Street) / Assembly (City Bowl)
If you're looking to dive into the local Cape Town music scene, these are the two best places to start. Fiction hosts ever-popular weekly events that draw out all of Cape Town's dance music fans, including some celebrities when they are in town. If you're more in the mood for something unique, Assembly has something different happening almost every night. You'll find the top South African acts performing here as well as a few unexpected international music acts. Drinks are relatively cheap, and while the crowd at Fiction and The Assembly is usually full of youngsters, you will find people of all ages having a lot of fun on a night out with friends.
Beer House (Long Street) / Wienhaus + Biergarten (City Bowl)
Craft beer is a big deal in Cape Town, and you can find some of the most delicious beers in the City Bowl. Choose from an incredible selection of beers at the Beer House in Long Street. Sit on the balcony and watch all the hustle and bustle of Cape Town city life while you're tipping a beer. Only a short walk away is Wienhaus + Biergarten, formally known as &Union. They serve their own brand of craft beers alongside great classic American food that pairs perfectly with your beer. If you're lucky, you can catch live music in the garden at Wienhaus + Biergarten during the week.
Asoka (Tamboerskloof) / Julep (Long Street)
If you want to relax with a few good cocktails, try some of Cape Town's coolest lounge-bars. Asoka is an upmarket Asian-inspired location that attracts a more sophisticated crowd. They often have live music, their menu is full of good food, and they make some of the finest cocktails in the city. Julep is another great stop if you're cocktail hunting. It's one of Cape Town's hidden treasures that relies on word-of-mouth only, and that's one of the things that makes it so great! Julep is another one of Cape Town's celeb hotspots, so keep your eyes peeled as you enjoy your fun night out in Cape Town.
Café Caprice (Camps Bay) / Shimmy Beach Bar (V&A Waterfront)
The busiest place in Camps Bay at sunset, Café Caprice is also Camps Bay's coolest (and has been for a while). You can enjoy the spectacular scenery of vibey Camps Bay Beach while you grab a bistro meal during the day, or share some cocktails amongst friends and locals at night. Shimmy Beach Bar is another cool place to hang out in summer in Cape Town. It's new to the V&A Waterfront, and the locals love it. Shimmy has a man-made beach and a swimming pool overlooking the ocean, making it one of the most beautiful places in Cape Town. If you had to choose one spot, this is where you want to enjoy your cocktails this summer.
Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens (Newlands) / Cape Point (Cape Peninsula)
When summer is knocking and it's time to explore the Mother City, Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens and Cape Point are perfect daytrip destinations. A great outing is to pack a picnic and eat in the soothing surroundings of the Kirtenbosch Gardens. Fall asleep under a tree, view the whole area from above on the newly installed Treetop Canopy, or catch a popular summer concert in the amphitheatre. If you're feeling a bit more adventurous, get behind the wheel and take a trip to Cape Point. Travel along the peninsula past Simon's Town, Kalk Bay, False Bay, and other lovely sea-side towns. You can also stop by Boulder's Beach and say hi' to the penguins. Cape Point's amazing views some of the best in the Cape are rivalled only by its remarkable history. It is recommended for anyone visiting Cape Town for the first time, young and old alike.
Clifton Beach (Atlantic Seaboard) / Camps Bay Beach (Camps Bay)
Cape Town is known for its superb selection of beaches, and some of them are truly world-class. Clifton Beach actually includes four beaches, including First Beach, which is great for families, and Fourth Beach, which is more suited for the hotter, younger crowd. There's no better place to enjoy a December in Cape Town than relaxing on Clifton beach and taking a chilled dip in the cold ocean. Camps Bay Beach offers a vibey option for visitors who aren't in the mood to descend the many stairs of Clifton. It's central, crowded with locals and tourists alike, and action-packed! It's also much closer to all the shops and restaurants on the Camps Bay strip, giving you plenty of sand-free activities, too.
Table Mountain Cable Car / Red Bus Tour
If you really want to explore Cape Town like a true tourist, or want to 're-discover it for the first time', the Table Mountain Cable Car and the Red Bus Tour are great ways to go. On the base of the famous Table Mountain you'll find Aerial Cableway. Tickets can be pricey, and if the wind is too strong the Cableway closes for the day, but all in all, it's a must-see experience. Spend hours taking photos and exploring Table Mountain from the very top. Have lunch and descend back to town just in time for sunset. You can make a day out of your trip and jump on board a Red Bus Tour. These busses circulate all of Cape Town's main attractions. Definitely worth it if you're looking to see, hear, and do many things in a short amount of time.
Aquarium (V&A Waterfront) / Robben Island (V&A Waterfront)
The V&A Waterfront is another must-visit in Cape Town. Besides the fantastic shops, restaurants, and South African atmosphere, there are lots of recreational and educational things to check out. The Aquarium is a big family favourite, and even Rihanna visited there during her Cape Town stop when on tour. Hang out with all the local sea life of Cape Town, including penguins, seals, sharks, and countless other species from the African waters. There's a great restaurant there to enjoy a harbour lunch after hours of looking at all the gorgeous and interesting fish. If seeing all the boats starts to tempt your sea legs, why not hop on one for a trip to Robben Island. On the island you can learn all about Nelson Mandela and even visit the cell he lived in when he was imprisoned there. Learn about Cape Town's past with a hands-on experience on Robben Island and experience the V&A Waterfront from the sea.
Coffee & Sweets
TRUTH. (City Bowl) / Deluxe Coffeeworks (City Bowl)
Cape Town is full of great gourmet coffee houses that make their own blends that keep Capetonians energized. No matter where you go, you're bound to find a great coffee place, but you should make a special effort to visit TRUTH. and Deluxe Coffeeworks in the City Bowl.

Some publications have even dubbed TRUTH. the best coffee house in the world. Deluxe Coffeeworks is simple, stripped down, and extremely trendy. Their blends of coffee are served all over town, but if you want the real experience of a cool, hip coffee place, come to Deluxe Coffeeworks and see for yourself.
Charley's Bakery (City Bowl) / Jason Bakery (City Bowl)
Charley's Bakery is so well-known as a local favourite that they got their very own TV show on the Food Network. They make colourful, wacky, and inspired cakes, cupcakes, and cookies that will make an ear-to-ear smile erupt from your face. Visit their brightly painted building in the City Bowl and see all their amazing creations for yourself. Make sure you don't leave without a cookie monster cupcake, though. Jason Bakery is a place to get a great cup of coffee to go with a delicious, melt-in-your-mouth pastry. During lunchtime they serve an incredible bistro menu that you can enjoy while you watch working Cape Town zoom past you. Be sure to grab a loaf of freshly baked bread to take home - they're amazing.
Neighbourhood Goods Market (Woodstock) / City Bowl Market (City Bowl)
Cape Town is quickly becoming known for its top notch, trendy markets. A longstanding and ever-popular one is the Neighbourhood Goods Market at the Old Biscuit Mill in Woodstock. Enjoy craft beer, gourmet snacks and treats, and stock up on your weekly groceries all at once. This is where you will find the young, hip crowd of Cape Town hang out on a Saturday morning. Get there early to avoid all the best items selling out and come hungry. The Old Biscuit Mill also hosts a few great shops and restaurants besides the market that you should check out. The City Bowl Market is a similar market but in the centre of town. It runs on Thursday evenings and Saturday mornings, but Thursday evenings have the best vibe.
Orangezitch Farmer's Market (Orangezitch) / Hout Bay Market (Hout Bay)
For the freshest, healthiest produce in Cape Town, check out the Orangezicht Farmer's Market every Saturday. There you'll find fantastic fruit, vegetables, herbs, and bread. Bring your own basket and leave with tons of fresh produce and hundreds of recipes. If you're looking for something with live music, great food, and cool stalls, Hout Bay Market is worth visiting. It's very festive, serves a delicious variety of food, and hosts some of the friendliest people in the city.
Shops & Services
Kloof Street (City Centre) / Long Street (City Centre)
For a day of shopping on the city centre, you can't go wrong with Kloof Street and Long Street. Some people start at the bottom of Long Street and work their way up, while others like to start at the top of Kloof Street and work their way down. Either way be prepared to spend lots of cash, as this area hosts some of the trendiest shops in Cape Town and some of its best restaurants.
V&A Waterfront / Canal Walk
If you need to stock up on your monthly supply of products, clothes, and groceries, or just want to miss the air-conditioning of a big mall, the V&A Waterfront and Canal Walk are your optimal options. You can visit any day, but on the weekend it's recommended to visit the V&A Waterfront since Canal Walk can get crazy on Saturdays and Sundays. These two malls host every store and service under the sun, and you'll be able to get almost anything you need, including a great shopping experience.

The Easton E700 Hockey Helmet is the top of the line helmet from Easton. The E700 is specifically engineered to give players the best protection and offer assurance that they'll need to outperform any player on the rink.
The E700 is the only helmet on the market utilizing a full coverage EPP foam liner with a polycarbonate plastic shell to provide excellent multi-impact durability. The one-piece shell design allows for more foam to be used and offer less gaps to offer better energy absorption and resist crushing. Drawing on the innovations and expertise of the Easton-Bell Sports Helmet Technology Center, the E700 was created to be the best engineered and most advanced helmet to date while offering an incredible level of protection.
For the fit, Easton utilized the Giro Fit System. The Fit System is used in world class bike and snowboard helmets. This adjustable, elastic fit system in the back of the helmet provides a superior fit that fits close and snug to the head and prevents the helmet from moving around. Inside the helmet are removable and washable comfort pads for a comfortable and snug fit. Secured by velcro, these pads offer a personalize fit.

Weight: 371 grams (medium)
Comments: I bought one of these to replace a Bauer 9900. I was trying to get away from the glued in padding that Bauer uses because it all came off my 9900 from sweat. The E700 is insanely light, it weighs as much as an elbow pad.
The padding is way more comfortable out of the box than an old school 4500 or a 5100. The washable padding is cool as well, it helps to minimize bucket funk. I would recommend picking up a spare set of pads because after about twenty washes the padding started to breakdown a little. I brought out the needle and thread and fixed my set.
I like the adjustment system despite having reservations about its effectiveness. When this thing is adjusted correctly it wont move unless you get hit really hard and even then movement is minimal.
I switch between a cage for league play and a half shield, the fit works well for both. The half shield combo is so light that it feels like there's nothing on your head.
I bought a second E700 in white after buying the first in black because I liked the bucket so much.
From: Ollie, OR
Comments: My hat size is 7 5/8 and I got the large size helmet and it fits perfectly. Before this helmet I had a Bauer 4500 for the better part of 10 years. The E700 is a much more secure fit and the weight is like nothing else on the market. I got this helmet about a year ago and it still looks like new.
If I had one complaint it was the lining inside the helmet holds the sweat for an extended period of time which is annoying if you play a lot like I do. Although they are removable and for an extra obnoxious 30 bucks you could have a replacement set.
All and all for those that are a little turned off at the price just remember in is your head and the performance and protection technology are second to none. If you are in the market for a helmet this is the one for you.
From: Matt, Pittsburgh, PA
Comments: this is the best high end helmet I've ever owned and I've played for 40 years. Finally one that does not keep falling down into your line of vision and stays put on your head like it should. The padding also does a great job of soaking up the sweat and keeping it out of your eyes! Awesome!!
From: Dave, Virginia Beach, VA
Comments: Excellent helmet that manages to offer top notch protection while being incredibly light and comfortable all at the same time. This helmet comes as close to feeling like you have nothing on your head at all that is possible. It's so light and the padding so comfortable that you really can forget it's even there. The ventilation is excellent and keeps your head cool and fairly sweat free. The padding is the softest I've ever felt and the fact you can remove it to let it air makes it all the cooler. The fitting system is definitely different than traditional helmets and at first will make it difficult to find the right fit. playing with the back strap and side straps will help you zero in on the best fit but it will take some getting used to at first. This helmet takes other companies cages just find as I've managed to use a Reebok 11K and Bauer Re-akt just fine. The Re-akt makes for an unbelievably light combo that will feel like nothing at all. Ultimately, the best helmet for you is the one that feels best on your head and everyone's head is different and it takes trying different brands and models to see what feels right. But if you're head fits this helmet and it feels good, you're in luck cause it's a great one to use.
From: Steve, Tampa, FL
Comments: Great Helmet. Definitely light and low profile. The comfort pads do a great job of absorbing sweat. Although the pads do take longer than expected to dry. I would recommend buying extra sets of replacement pads if you play multiple games a day/night.
From: Nguyen, CA
Comments: the Easton e700 helmet is the best fitting helmet on the market. its very comfortable doesn't squish your head and is very light. i would recommend this helmet . buy it and you wont be disappointed.
From: Bob, Tyngsborough, MA
Comments: Great helmet. I absolutely love it. Lightweight, extremely comfortable, and easy to adjust. Not to mention it looks great. If I had any complaints it would be that the padding can be easy to accidentally pull off (it's all attached by velcro inside the helmet), but even that isn't a major issue. All-around a great helmet if you can shell out the money.
From: Andrew
Comments:Fit Easton provides 2 internal ways of adjusting the fit of the E700; the height of the occipital base pad can be adjusted in three levels (upper, mid, lower) and there is an arm mechanism that can be set for a more forward or rearward fit. I am coming from the Bauer family 5500, 7500, 9500, 9900 where the fit was snug, but it tended to pinch my temples a bit and I would have a dull pain just from wearing it. The E700 does not have any pain points and fits pretty nicely, although I have had some players have hard time finding a perfect fit (where the one size is a bit too large and the next smaller size is a bit too small). I would also say that these helmets run slightly larger than other models, especially Bauer. 9/10 Protection From the lightweight feel of the helmet, you would definitely think that protection would be an issue, but this is not the case. I have taken several hard hits and this helmet certainly does its job. Easton has done an excellent job in providing a lightweight helmet with top-level protection. 9/10 Weight The weight of this helmet is practically immeasurable; it is extremely light which is why I was saying its protection could be brought under question. The helmet feels great on your head and does not feel like it adds any drag weight to your head while playing. 10/10 Durability The helmet has been holding up great, of course you get the normal wear and tear marks on the outside, but otherwise no complaints. 10/10 Intangibles The black matte helmet looks very slick and was getting a lot of compliments on the ice. Wearing the E700 feels like youÕre wearing a hat instead of a helmet it is that comfortable. It is hands-down by far the most comfortable lid I have ever worn. The internal padding is so soft and does an excellent job at preventing sweat from dripping into your eyes. The padding can also be easily removed and washed, which is a nice touch. 10/10 player reference: 6'0 / 165lbs / A League (3x/week)
From: Rich
Comments: This helment is the best out there. Like the other reviewer said, it absorbs alot of moisture, meaning that you wont have sweat in your eyes or anything like that. Also, it is EXTREMLY comfortable and adjustable, I recommend it, its worth paying a bit extra for the comfort and the washability
From: Kevin, VA
Comments: Awesome helmet. It is very comfortable, very lightweight and looks great. The pads absorb a lot of moisture and it is awesome that they are washable. Great job Easton!
From: Sam, Milwaukee, WI USA

Economic Evidence in Antitrust: Defining Markets and Measuring Market Power
Jonathan B. Baker
American University - Washington College of Law
Timothy Bresnahan
Stanford University - Department of Economics; Stanford Graduate School of Business; National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER)
September 2006
Stanford Law and Economics Olin Working Paper No. 328
This paper addresses an important aspect of the interdisciplinary collaboration between law and economics: the use antitrust courts can and should make of empirical industrial organization economics, in light of the expansion of empirical knowledge generated during the last few decades. First we show how courts can apply what economists have learned about identification of alternative theories of industry structure and firm strategy to the problems of defining markets and determining whether market power has been exercised. We emphasize that the same analytic issues arise regardless of whether the evidence on these concepts is quantitative or qualitative. Second we show how courts can adopt a strategy employed in the research literature, by exploiting generalizations across closely related industries to help evaluate evidence and resolve cases. We also discuss ways of increasing the institutional capacity of the judicial system to make use of these two bodies of economic learning. These include a possible limited role for neutral economic experts in litigation, and a role for the antitrust enforcement agencies in identifying and codifying relevant generalizations about industries from the empirical economic literature to make that learning available to courts.
