World's Wackiest Festivals
Cultural traditions that make the least sense often make for the best festivals. Here are the wackiest -- and most fun -- festivals we could find.
Boryeong Mud Festival
Boryeong Mud FestivalThe Boryeong Mud Festival is an annual festival held in Boryeong, a town south of Seoul, South Korea to promote the medicinal and cosmetic qualities of town's mud. The 2-week festival includes a mud pool, mud slides, mud prison, mud-skiing competitions and a market that sells cosmetics made from the mud. 960 1280
Battle of the Oranges
Battle of the OrangesThe largest food fight in Italy, the Battle of the Oranges is held in the northern city of Ivrea. The origin of the orange-throwing tradition is unknown, especially since oranges don't grow in the foothills of the Italian Alps and must be imported from Sicily. 960 1280
Oaxaca Radish Festival
Oaxaca Radish FestivalRadishes are sculpted into everything from animals to saints at Oaxaca's annual Radish Festival. The festival is filled with music, traditional dancing and lots of food, including deep-fried doughnuts drenched in syrup. According to tradition, after eating, throw your plate over your shoulder and the number of pieces it breaks into dictates your fortune for the next year. 960 1280
Cheese Rolling at Cooper's Hill
Cheese Rolling at Cooper's HillIn England's annual Cheese Rolling, a round of Double Gloucester cheese is let loose from the top of Cooper's Hill and competitors race down the hill chasing it. Following the 200-year-old tradition, the first person to reach the finish line at the bottom of the hill wins the cheese. 960 1280

text: : My task was to replace a shower head. While removing the shower head the chrome extension broke off (it comes from the copper pipe in wall). There is a broke off piece of pipe in the elbow at the end of the copper pipe. How can I remove this broke piece to install a new chrome extension? I do not want to cut off the elbow unless absolutely necessary. It is back in the wall behind a built in shower stall and I do not have much access to it.

FERRON-Our sweet loving mother, grandma, and friend, Florene Zwahlen Berensen, 93, returned to Heavenly Father on April 24, 2012 in Ferron, Utah. She was born May 7, 1918 in Ferron to Fredrich Albert and Irene Killpack Zwahlen. She married Clayton N. Berensen Jan. 28, 1937 and then later solemnized their marriage in the Manti Temple.
She had a strong testimony of the gospel of Jesus Christ. She loved her membership in the LDS church, where she had many callings, which included serving three LDS missions with her husband. She always kept her temple recommend current and faithfully paid a full tithing.
We all knew she loved each of us unconditionally. She was a very loving and giving person greeting everyone with hugs and goodies. We were amazed at her strength in mind, body and her spirituality. Mom loved to read and keep up with current events. Keeping her mind sharp was very important to her. She always looked forward to Fridays and being with her family.
She is survived by her children Gary C. (Jean) Berensen of Price, Sandra (Roger) Killpack of Ferron, and Laurel (Randy) Magnuson of Castle Dale. She is also survived by 12 grandchildren, 26 great-grandchildren and six great-great-grandchildren. Florene was preceded in death by her husband, Clayton N. Berensen, and son, Bruce N. Berensen; and by her four brothers and two sisters.
Funeral services were held Saturday, April 28, 2012 at 11 a.m. at the Blue Hills LDS Chapel (35 West 200 North, Ferron). A viewing was held from 9:30-10:45 a.m. prior to the service at the church. Interment was in the Ferron City Cemetery. Services were in the care of Fausett Mortuary. Friends and family may sign the guest book and share memories of Florene at www.fausettmortuary.com.

International Day of Peace
Statements By Members
11:05 a.m.
Marcel Gagnon Champlain, QC
Mr. Speaker, this Sunday, September 21, is International Day of Peace. Yet, in Iraq, Colombia, Afghanistan, Liberia, Israel and Algeria, violence is a part of daily life.
There is still so much to be done to achieve peace and it is sad to see, still today, countries bombing people in the name of peace. To watch the news and read the papers, one wonders what motivates our leaders, or at least some of them.
At a time when roughly 300,000 children are fighting in armed conflicts around the world, the international community must, now more than ever, stand up to the combatants of the world so that, one day, these children can exchange their guns for toys and stop giving up their lives.
International Literacy Day
Statements By Members
11:05 a.m.
Raymonde Folco Laval West, QC
Mr. Speaker, I rise in this House today to acknowledge International Literacy Day, which was on September 8.
The year 2003 marks the launch of the UN Literacy Decade, 2003-2012.
Still today, the final report of the International adult literacy survey shows that 22% of Canadians have difficulty reading. Globally, UNESCO estimates that 860 million adults are illiterate and more than 100 million children still do not have access to schooling.
Yet, good reading and writing skills are essential for people to participate fully in society.
In light of these statistics, it is critical to redouble efforts to fight illiteracy in Canada and around the world.

John Reynolds West Vancouver—Sunshine Coast, BC
Mr. Speaker, it is with a heavy and woeful heart that we deliver our usual reminder to Canadians of the corruption that is so rampant across the way.
While many Canadians are engaged in the legitimate business of the harvest, the Liberals are filling a horn of plenty that can only be characterized as a cornucopia of corruption.
It is not confined only to elected Liberals. We know they have no shame when it comes to plundering the public treasury. Appointees, political aides and probably some aides still employed are just as shameless. Only the best restaurants, only the finest wines, only the choicest cut of meat, and only the most savoury of exotic desserts are acceptable to the Liberals and their friends, cronies, appointees and political aides.
It enrages Canadians to learn that one Liberal aide is allowed to spend on lunches and dinners as much as the average Canadian earns in one year.
It further enrages Canadians that up until only recently it was the member for LaSalle—Émard who happily signed the cheques to cover these expense accounts.
Canadian Country Music Awards
Statements By Members
11:05 a.m.
Bryon Wilfert Oak Ridges, ON
Mr. Speaker, last week Canadians from coast to coast celebrated Country Music Week by kicking off their sneakers in exchange for cowboy boots.
The celebration was one of rich history and current success of Canada's country music. Whether it is Shania Twain, Stompin' Tom Connors or Prairie Oyster, country music is something that is shared and loved by Canadians of all ages from coast to coast to coast.
Celebration of Country Music Week was capped off with the Canadian Country Music Awards which was a resounding success. It was hosted by the great city of Calgary.
Among the big winners was Shania Twain who won four awards and Terri Clark who took home top honours and the award for Entertainer of the Year.
I wish to congratulate all the nominees and especially the winners of these awards. I hope Canadians continue to support our country music industry and I wish our country music artists continued success.
Pumpkin Festival

Scott Brison Kings—Hants, NS
Mr. Speaker, Windsor, Nova Scotia, is known as "The Little Town of Big Firsts" and this weekend the Hants County Exhibition, the oldest agricultural festival in North America, continues for the second of two weekends in the town.
On October 4 the 19th annual pumpkin festival and weigh-off will be held. Windsor's Howard Dill, developer of the Atlantic giant pumpkin seeds is credited with launching the international craze of growing giant pumpkins. Known as the Pumpkin King, Mr. Dill is a four-time world champion pumpkin grower.
The festival now includes the hugely popular pumpkin regatta to be held on October 12. The Windsor-West Hants Pumpkin Festival and Regatta won the 2002 Attractions Canada award in the sporting event category.
Mr. Speaker, I actually won the pumpkin regatta in 2001, by the way.
But as the birthplace of hockey, the home of North America's oldest agricultural fair, and now the new home of giant pumpkin racing, Windsor-West Hants continues to be the "Little Town of Big Firsts".
Anna Lindh
Statements By Members
11:10 a.m.
Monique Guay Laurentides, QC
Mr. Speaker, on September 10, the Swedish Minister of Foreign Affairs, Anna Lindh, was killed in a Stockholm store. She would probably have been her country's next prime minister. Today, eloquent tributes were paid to her at the Stockholm city hall. The terrible attack on her took place just four days before Sweden voted in a referendum on whether or not to adopt the Euro.
The mother of two, Ms. Lindh was elected to the municipal council of her hometown at the age of 20. She became Minister of Foreign Affairs in 1998, after four years in the environment portfolio.
She constantly stressed that collective security and a collective future were dependent on cooperation, self-sufficiency and independence. Her legacy will be a foreign policy founded on the respect of human rights.
The Bloc Quebecois wishes the people of Sweden to know that all Quebeckers share their grief.
Anna Lindh

Aileen Carroll Barrie—Simcoe—Bradford, ON
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay my respects to the family of Anna Lindh, the late Swedish Foreign Affairs Minister who died last week in Stockholm.
I had the great pleasure of meeting Ms. Lindh when I attended a European Union Conflict Prevention Conference in Helsinborg, Sweden, in my capacity as Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Foreign Affairs.
I was very impressed with Anna Lindh, the woman and the politician. There was every chance she may have become the future prime minister of Sweden. Her death has left a void which will take a long time to fill.
I held her in high regard and I am grateful to have had the opportunity to meet and work with her on that one occasion. She was a prominent campaigner for human rights and European integration, and was a politician with enormous conviction.
My condolences go out to her husband, her two children and her fellow countrymen. As Swedish Prime Minister Goran Persson said: "Sweden has lost its face to the world".

Bill Blaikie Winnipeg—Transcona, MB
Mr. Speaker, in June of this year before the House rose for the summer, I brought to the attention of the Minister of Citizenship and Immigration the fact that many foreign delegates to the Lutheran World Federation meeting in Winnipeg in July were having an unjustifiably difficult time getting visas and I asked the minister to intervene accordingly.
I regret to say that he does not appear to have done so, at least successfully, as whole national delegations from some countries never did get into Canada for the meeting. This was more than just regrettable. It was disrespectful to the Lutheran Church, damaging to those who were refused, and will be harmful to the prospects of further such global meetings in Canada.
The Lutheran community in Winnipeg is still upset with the government about this, as is the provincial government, and I thought it important to put on the record this unhappiness with the government's handling of this event.
Big Brothers Big Sisters of Canada

Dominic LeBlanc Beauséjour—Petitcodiac, NB
Mr. Speaker, September is Big Brothers Big Sisters of Canada month.
Big Brothers Big Sisters of Canada is the leading child and youth serving organization providing mentoring programs across the country. Over 170 local agencies provide support to more than 300 Canadian communities.
Currently, over 10,000 children are matched with adults. Big brothers and big sisters reap benefit from their experiences while the "littles" benefit on a number of levels as well, including improved self-confidence and social skills.
During this month, we encourage all Canadians to donate time to this wonderful organization.
Union of British Columbia Municipalities

Andy Burton Skeena, BC
Mr. Speaker, next week the annual Union of B.C. Municipalities convention will take place in Vancouver. This annual gathering of municipal and regional district leaders from around the province of B.C. provides them with an opportunity to network with their peers and elected representatives, both provincial and federal. Municipal government provides the closest and most direct relationship to government for Canadian citizens.
Clearly, municipalities are shortchanged by the federal government. Fuel taxes disappear into Ottawa, never to be seen again by those who pay. Infrastructure dollars are scarce and the sharing formula needs revision to ensure that smaller municipalities are more capable of carrying their share of the cost.
As a former mayor, I look forward to renewing old acquaintances and discussing with them these and other issues at the UBCM convention in Vancouver next week.
Voyageur Colonial Pension Fund
Oral Question Period

Canadian Alliance
Carol Skelton Saskatoon—Rosetown—Biggar, SK
Mr. Speaker, the government has failed to respond directly to questions concerning the collapse of the Voyageur pension plan. Access to information documents show that there were concerns that political pressure was being put on OSFI to have the audit amended.
Could the acting prime minister tell us what political pressure the former finance minister was applying?
Voyageur Colonial Pension Fund
Oral Question Period
11:15 a.m.
Don Valley East
David Collenette Minister of Transport
Mr. Speaker, I think the Prime Minister has answered this question rather well in the last few days. The fact is that OSFI, the Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions, is a quasi-independent agency under the auspices of the Minister of Finance. However, all of the dealings for OSFI were assigned by the former minister of finance to the secretary of state for financial institutions and at that time I believe it was the member for Willowdale.
There has been no impropriety in the way this case has been handled.
Voyageur Colonial Pension Fund
Oral Question Period
11:15 a.m.
Canadian Alliance
Carol Skelton Saskatoon—Rosetown—Biggar, SK
Mr. Speaker, it is obvious that OSFI did not act independently from the former finance minister as it should have. His staff were directly involved in the discussions to close the books on the Voyageur pension plan and to shortchange the employees.
The government has a duty to those pensioners. Will the minister begin a full independent investigation into OSFI and the Voyageur pension plan?
Voyageur Colonial Pension Fund
Oral Question Period
11:15 a.m.
Don Valley East
David Collenette Minister of Transport
Mr. Speaker, it is true the government has a duty to pensioners and OSFI fulfills that. But the opposition members also have a duty to ask questions in the House that are relevant and that are of the highest integrity. To come here day in and day out and condemn the former minister of finance is totally unacceptable.

Carol Skelton Saskatoon—Rosetown—Biggar, SK
Mr. Speaker, Canadian citizens are relevant. Here is what one longtime employee said yesterday: "I got shafted good. I don't have enough for 10 years". That is not fair.
The Prime Minister said yesterday that the ethics counsellor signed off on this. That is not good enough. I ask again, will the Prime Minister call an independent investigation into the handling of the Voyageur pension plan?

I will say this brand generally runs a 1/2 size small and I always order up but this model seems more true to size. She is more of a 5.5 but these are not so big that they slip and she will have some room to grow which of course she will do!"

When it comes to planning the wedding, there are many things that have to be taken into consideration. First of all you must decide what the over all theme is so that the wedding planner knows what you are looking for. Then its time to discuss what the cake will look like, what color the flowers will be, what type of music will be played during the event, and what kind of food will be served. Of course it doesn't stop there. No, there are many more things that need planning such as where to seat the guests, how many guests there will be attending the event and so on.
The wedding planner will be able to help organize everything so that it will be perfect on the big day and hopefully nothing will go wrong, but even the most perfect wedding can have its problems and so you must always be prepared with a backup plan in case something should go wrong. If you are planning to have an outdoor wedding, you should plan for the weather to change as it often can with a moment's notice. You don't want be rained on during the ceremony.

eLINE Compact Modules
Bosch Rexroth CorporationUpdated 03/10/2010
The eLINE Compact Modules (eCKK and eCKR) offer energy savings and high-performance at the light end of the spectrum through intelligent substitution of the light-weight aluminum eLINE Ball Rail System as its internal guide mechanism. The eLINE Modules are available as the eCKK ball screw driven version and the eCKR belt driven version, in profile sizes of 90 and 110mm. Identical dimensionally to Rexroth's popular standard Compact Modules, the lighter weight of the eLINE modules offers substantial energy savings in multiple-axis configurations, because it takes less energy to move lighter weight components. Additional savings come from the energy-on-demand nature of Rexroth's electromechanical systems: The eLINE modules require energy only during execution of the move profile, saving additional costs compared to systems consisting entirely of air-powered actuators. An available stepper motor with integrated positioning control makes the eLINE Modules easy to program and start up, while Rexroth camoLINE connectivity facilitates precise alignment and easy connection of additional axes and the user's load. 3D Models for each version and size are configurable in Rexroth's online 3D CAD Generator. eLINE Compact Modules are pre-lubricated at the factory and can operate for up to 10,000km without relubrication. With 5-day lead times and extremely competitive pricing, the new eLINE modules from Rexroth are an ideal sustainable solution for small handling, medical and packaging applications with loads of up to 60kg.

Hundreds of students participate in engineering contest in Kennewick
Hundreds of high school students put their engineering skills to the test during a friendly competition today.
This morning, more than 300 students from across the Mid-Columbia filled Kennewick High School's gym for an engineering contest.
The students were given some office supplies to create a device that could launch a ping pong ball into some wooden pins.
The goal was to knock down as many pins as possible.
The students only had an hour to create and test their devices.
Students had no idea what they would be creating until they arrived at the competition this morning.
This is the 10th year organizers have held the event.

Exeter recorded their first away win of the Aviva Premiership season after beating London Irish 27-23 at the Madejski Stadium.
Exeter recorded their first away win of the Aviva Premiership season after beating London Irish 27-23 at the Madejski Stadium.
The Chiefs were leading 21-3 after just 18 minutes and the hosts looked in grave danger of being routed, but the Exiles rallied to build a 23-21 lead midway through the second half.
It fell to Gareth Steenson to score two late penalties and earn victory for Exeter.
The Chiefs made the perfect start and within five minutes they were in front, as the ball was worked wide into the hands of Phil Dolman, who crossed for an unconverted try.
Minutes later Gareth Steenson put eight points between the two teams with his first penalty of the afternoon, and it was 0-11 when he added a second shortly after.
The Exiles got off the mark courtesy of an Ian Humphreys three-pointer, though the 11-point cushion was quickly restored by the boot of Steenson.
Exeter then went further ahead at the end of the first quarter when Luke Arscott rampaged over the tryline following strong work from Matt Jess.
Steenson was this time on target with the conversion to make it 3-21, though a Humphreys penalty and the hosts' first try, scored by Leo Halavatu, meant there were just eight points between the two teams at the interval.
There were fewer points scored in the second half, but no shortage of drama as London Irish turned the game on its head with a converted try and penalty within ten minutes of the restart.
Topsy Ojo got on the end of a clever Humphreys chip to touch down, before Humphreys' conversion and penalty completed the comeback, making it 23-21.
But indiscipline cost the hosts their lead almost immediately, as Steenson knocked over another three points to put his side back in front.
Irish searched for a response in the minutes that followed but the Chiefs' defence and discipline held firm and, when hit his fifth three-pointer of the afternoon in the dying minutes, the win was sealed.
The scorers:

Tries: Halavatau, Ojo
Cons: Humphreys 2
Pens: Humphreys 3

There are "a lot of scare tactics in play here," Steve Butler, protagonist of the new anti-hydraulic-fracturing film "Promised Land," warns a local politician skeptical of the benefits of hydraulic fracturing. Played by Matt Damon, Butler is an earnest salesman for the energy giant Global Crosspower Solutions, bent on convincing a rural town in Pennsylvania that hydraulic fracturing will save its outdated agrarian economy from collapse.
At first glance, Butler seems like a savior to the town, promising poor, unemployed farmers an economic renaissance. But he quickly becomes a villain — a henchman of the big, bad corporation out to exploit the destitute and uninformed through bribes and get-rich-quick promises. That is, until a wizened old man (representing the film's voice of justice) stands up to Butler at a town meeting and exposes the alleged dangers of hydraulic fracturing that Butler was covering up.
The town, taken aback, puts its hydraulic fracturing decision up for vote. Butler feels confident in his ability to persuade the town until an anti-fracking environmentalist named Dustin Noble appears on the scene. Noble is David taking on Goliath, saying he wants to stop Butler because Global's fracking allegedly destroyed his family's longstanding farm with water contamination.
With charm and wit, Noble wins over the town and leaves Butler at the point of despair. But then the film takes an unexpected twist.
I won't give away the film's ending, except to say that its anti-fracking message relies predominantly on — to use Butler's own words — scare tactics. Never once does the audience see hydraulic fracturing in action or even a well or the controversial wastewater. "Promised Land" lacks any substantive scientific evidence illustrating the alleged dangers of fracking.
Obeidallah: Hollywood movies can (mis)educate us
Instead, the film falls back on many conventional anti-capitalist themes. The "only reason you're here is 'cause we're poor," declares a farmer to Butler at one point.
Of course, what the film does not explain is the incredible economic revolution that hydraulic fracturing has already brought to much of America. From 2008 to 2011, natural gas production in the U.S. has risen a staggering 10%, according to a recent report from the International Energy Agency. The U.S. Energy Information Administration predicts U.S. natural gas production will increase 44% by 2040, thanks in large part to increased shale gas production made available by hydraulic fracturing.
The energy boom is bringing jobs and increased tax revenues back to rural America and not just to the pockets of big energy companies, as Damon and his co-writers would have you believe. Inflation-adjusted income in America's rural areas is up 3.8% per person since 2007, while it has declined in urban areas. The unemployment rate in North Dakota, home of much of the Bakken shale reserves, is a stunningly low 3.1%.
And contrary to Damon and company's screed, it's not all about the money. Many states, such as Texas and Oklahoma, use the tax revenues from oil and gas to fund state education projects, health care obligations and rainy-day funds.
As to the controversy surrounding the environmental safety of hydraulic fracturing, "Promised Land" offers little credible, scientific evidence to illustrate the alleged dangers of hydraulic fracturing. It's worth noting — because "Promised Land" does not — the head of the Environmental Protection Administration, Lisa Jackson, is on record as saying, "In no case have we made a definitive determination that the fracking process has caused chemicals to enter ground water." Furthermore, Jackson said in February, "(Fracking technology) is perfectly capable of being clean. It requires smart regulation, smart rules of the road."
A monumental energy revolution is under way in this country.
And while industry leaders and politicians are debating the best way to effectively and safely bring the benefits of this revolution to millions of Americans, Damon and his colleagues instead aim to frighten the potential benefactors of this revolution.
Clearly we cannot take this energy revolution for granted. "Promised Land" will not be the last of its kind. The public deserves to know the truth about America's energy potential.
By freeing up more state and federal lands for drilling, cutting unnecessary, burdensome restrictions while protecting wells and ground water with safe and smart regulations, every American might soon get his own slice of the real promised land.

I ordered 200 of these for my daughter's Fall wedding in October. The chairs at the venue were wide and square that no other cover would fit. I was extremely pleased with just how easily they set up and how fantastic they looked when we were done. The color is rich and looked beautiful with fall color scheme.(Posted on 3/9/13)

We are doing a Chocolate, tangerine and Ivory wedding and we are using these for the bridal party and then Ivory for the rest! Such a rich color!(Posted on 7/14/12)
- Love themReview by Tonda
I received them very quickly. It is cheaper to buy them from this site than to rent them out of the store. I can't wait to see them on the chairs. The only problem I had was trying to tie but I used a rubberband. I actually like this look better because it looked like a bow and I was able to fluff it better. Can't wait to order the champagne.(Posted on 5/9/12)
- Perfect!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Review by margaret
I used the chair cover with fuschia sash and overlay. My Gosh the room was very Elegance. The covers was the perfect fit for the chairs and they were thick and looked very expensive for the price I paid for them.

My Chemical Romance has made an announcement stating that they are going to make a new rendition of their song 'Sing'- the income generated from whom will be given to the earthquake relief charity fund being run by Red Cross in Japan. But they don't wanna be alone in contributing all the charity action. Instead, they have asked their legion of fans called MCRmy to join them and contribute to this cause in any way they can.
The band has also asked their fans to upload their messages, video clips, images or anything else they can to lift the morale of the disaster-stricken Japanese nation. The submitted collection with the message #SINGItForJapan will then be used by the band on the video of the charity-oriented song that they plan to make.

Tambellini Press Conference Live Blog (Updated!)
Jonathan Willis
April 15 2009 11:51AM
Steve Tambellini is giving a press conference at 12:00. Video is available at the Oilers official site . This is the official OilersNation live blog for the conference, and material will be added as the conference continues.
[11:50] - Dan Tencer seems to be finished playing around with the microphone, so I'm assuming the sound is set up. Since there's nothing else to discuss as of yet, he seems to be dressed pretty casually for this sort of thing - aren't reporters supposed to wear suits?
[11:52] - The back of Dan Tencer's head is all that I can see from this camera (aside from the two water bottles on either side of the microphone). The back of his head appears to be itchy.
[11:54] - The zoom function on the camera seems to work.
[11:56] - The feed seems a little choppy. Hopefully that doesn't continue.
[11:56] - As per the comment below and now confirmed on their official site, Sportsnet is reporting that MacTavish is finished.
[12:01] - The Spector article says that the decision was made by MacTavish to step down, as opposed to being fired. Still waiting for Tambellini.
[12:03] - He's here.
[12:04] - The season was a disappointment, they aren't where they wanted to be. Issues need to be addressed - they've had discussions internally.
[12:05] - Tambellini confirms that the Oilers will be pursuing a new head coach. Tambellini says it was "the right thing for Craig and for the Oilers at this point". He says the team needs a "new voice", but calls the decision a mutual one between Tambellini, Lowe and MacTavish.
[12:06] - There will be personnel changes; he is not letting the players off of the hook.
[12:07] - Tambellini says that a "commitment to win at any cost" was the hallmark of old Oiler teams. He agrees that grit and size were issues this season, and says that the team will be identifying players who can add that internally and then acquiring what they need from outside the team.
[12:09] - The ownership, Kevin Lowe, and Craig MacTavish are the three reasons why Tambellini accepted the job. He thanked MacTavish for his service.
[12:10] - Calls MacT "a quality coach and a quality person, but decisions have to be made for us to get better".
[12:10] - Tambellini leaves the door open, but doesn't expect MacTavish back in another capacity. He thinks he will be coaching in the NHL next season for another team.
[12:11] - MacTavish's remaining year on his contract is "not an issue".
[12:12] - Tambellini still sees "an incredible amount of potential in this group". He said that the pressure on this group to perform immediately is "what you want" and identifies how players react to that kind of pressure as a key evaluation of their value.
[12:14] - Tambellini "will not put up with" an "unemotional game". He says the team needs more strength, energy, and grit, and again hints that trades will be made to acquire those qualities.
[12:14] - He keeps coming back to the theme that there "has been success at times". He has a specific type of coach in mind, and says that a new coach will be in place "when we get the right guy". It sounds like a decision won't be made until the options are clear; Tambellini hinted strongly that more options would be available once teams were eliminated from the playoffs. The first name that comes to my mind when he says that is Brent Sutter.
[12:16] - Tambellini has yet to talk to the assistant coaches but expects to deal with them "within the week".
[12:17] - He wants at least one top-six player, and guys that are hard to play against in general. He also reemphasizes the need to get more out of players that are currently in the organization. I'd guess that means that not all of MacTavish's whipping boys are considered irredeemable.
[12:17] - Tambellini identified scouting and development as areas where there is "a lot of work to do", and rather heavily implied there will be changes. Don't get too comfortable, Kevin Prendergast.
[12:18] - "It's time to stop looking back; we have to look forward." I'd imagine that the Oilers glory days job offerings are going to become fewer under Tambellini's watch.
[12:20] - "It's important that we take our time right now and that we review all aspects." No hasty decisions to be made, supposedly. Tambellini also was asked if any players had expressed a desire to leave. His response: "No."
[12:22] - Although I'm a little concerned that this team is going to go overboard to pick up size at the expense of other things, on the whole he's saying all the right things. He seems reasonable and even-handed, and says that there are definitely some positives to the current group that need to be kept. Change for the sake of change doesn't sound like it's going to be happening here, although I suppose time will tell.
[12:24] - Tambellini says that the coach doesn't neccessarily need NHL experience, but for an inexperienced guy he'd need to be "a special person". Based on his reaction, I'm guessing the next guy has NHL experience - his face pretty much gave that away.
[12:26] - Tambellini says that he "needs to be wide open right now" with respect to where the next head coach comes from, but I'm rather cautiously optimistic based on what he's said so far that it won't be someone from inside the organization.
Well, that's it for the press conference. On the whole, I think Tambellini said the right things and got the right message out; the team is in the midst of a top-to-bottom review of both players and management, and will set a course going forward to address areas identified as deficient. Naturally, the G.M. isn't going to criticize ownership, but I really think that for the most part it's a non-issue, and that was the message Tambellini stressed in that regard.
Tambellini praised MacTavish and spoke about him accurately; it does sound like he will be leaving the organization entirely and continue to coach, just somewhere else. I'm quite confident that there is another NHL job in the near future for MacTavish. As for his replacement, all the signs were there that Tambellini already has a short list; he said that he had a "specific type" of coach in mind, and it sounds like that coach will both a) have NHL experience and b) come from outside the organization. It also sounds like that coach is currently in the playoffs, and off the top of my head, my best guess would be Brent Sutter.
Obviously, time will tell, but based on this press conference I think this organization is in good hands.
On Second Thought...
I guessed Brent Sutter off of the top of my head, but Tambellini never specified that the coach had to have experience as a head coach at the NHL level; he just strongly hinted that the next coach would have NHL experience and was running a team with games left to play. Looking at my short list from the other day (and excluding Sutter), there are four names on the list; three of whom I think are the likeliest bets. Those three are:
- Scott Arniel. The Manitoba Moose coach is currently busy in the AHL playoffs, but given that Tambellini was the Vancouver Canucks executive responsible for overseeing their farm team, Arniel would be a known quantity for him. Arniel has previous NHL experience as an assistant coach with the Buffalo Sabres.
- Don Lever. An assistant coach in Montreal, Lever's AHL record is distinguished and he's been an assistant coach in Buffalo and St. Louis as well. Plus, it would be nice to pay the Canadiens back in kind for snatching up Claude Julien.
- Paul MacLean. Stealing Detroit assistant coaches could get to be something of a trend. MacLean followed Babcock over to Detroit from Anaheim, and he was also previously an assistant coach in Phoenix. He spent eight seasons as a minor league head coach, putting up a nice record in the IHL and a championship win with the UHL's Quad City Mallards.
Like I said, if I had to bet, I'd bet on one of those three.

*as a quiet lull falls over the Nation, he smiles contently to himself as he thinks about the days events. Speaking quietly and more to himself than anyone else he says...*
Pssssst...MacT got fired...FOR REAL!
*Shakes his head in slight disbelief that the day actually happened, puts his empties in the recycle bin, swings his jacket over his shoulder and heads to the door with a skip and goofy look on his face*
It was a good day today. A good day indeed.

@ rob: YUP! I am almost ready to start FBSNF...
@ Joe: The Flames dressed 16 skaters or less for 4 consecutive games at the end of the year due to cap problems. You don't think that caused them to give up the division title to Vancouver ?
@ I'm a Scientist!:
NNC will get me by until then. As usual, I wasn't overly impressed with what Moreau had to say today. Boring. NNC.
So are we burning phone booths and flipping cop cars on Whyte Ave tonight?
P.S. I can renew my season tickets now!
April 15 2009, 05:12PM
@ Reggie they played short handed cuz they were injured and couldn't afford to call up replacements because their guys got hurt in the last ten games meaning they got no cap relief. Not because they were too close to the cap and had to sit guys out in order to stay under.
Tambellini still sees "an incredible amount of potential in this group". He said that the pressure on this group to perform immediately is "what you want" and identifies how players react to that kind of pressure as a key evaluation of their value.
I would say that is a clear shot across Ethan Moreau's bow. His public criticism of MacT's 'northwest title' statement was apparently ill-received.
Any word on Souray wants out rumors, does this change anything?
April 15 2009, 05:59PM
@ offside:
Tambellini denied them.
Personally, that doesn't convince me one way or the other.

If what Gregor states in post #206 is correct (and I believe it was based on frustration) then I would say the Souray rumours can be laid to rest..
April 15 2009, 06:12PM
Sorry to clarify I meant Souray's unhappiness was due to frustration...
@ Jonathan Willis: On Just a Game, Jason Gregor mentioned that he had talked to someone within the Oilers and they informed him that it was more of a case of Souray talking to his agent that he was frustrated with the year and that Souray had not yet out right requested a trade. I put high confidence in Gregors opinion and the infomation he puts out because he seems to be really connected when it comes to the people involved with the Oilers behind the scenes.

well the oilers need to also look a little higher up the food chain as it were . Mac t has been used as a scape goat for some bad decisions , bad contracts and bad trades . The real problem with the oilers is an abundance of talent but no grit or heart and no coach can give them that . so it is a sad day that some one who has given our city so much became the goat .
April 16 2009, 10:22PM
Bottom line is the oilers need to get bigger, tougher, grow some nards and get a heart transplant for some players

Delay cutting the cord in newborns
A new study has shown that delaying cutting the cord in a newborn baby is associated with better health for the baby because more blood (hemoglobin) passes from the mother to the baby as the cord is still attached. Prior studies have also shown this advantage but there was a concern of hemorrhage in the mother if the cord cutting was delayed. Doctors often rush to cut the umbilical cord as soon as the baby is delivered. This study, published in The Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, shows there is no increased danger of hemorrhage to the mom and the benefit is for the neonate.
The researchers found that babies who had later cord cutting (after one minute) had higher hemoglobin levels 24-48 hours post-partum and they were less likely to have iron deficiency at 6 months, compared to the early cutting babies.
This is especially important in developing countries where anemia is common. The World Health Organization (WHO) has long recommended waiting 2-3 minutes to cut the umbilical cord to improve the status of the infant. In the United States, where low iron is not as much of a problem, the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology (ACOG) has not recommended the early cut practice. Concerns about jaundice and the longstanding practice of early cutting caused ACOG to say there is insufficient evidence.
Changes in medical practice to not come easily. It took over 200 years for sailors and seafaring merchants to accept the fact that deadly scurvy could be prevented in sailors by just taking citrus fruit on board long voyages. Dr. Ignaz Semmelweis proved that hand disinfectant could prevent child bed fever (with a maternal mortality up to 35%) but his ideas were rejected by the medical community and he ended up dying in an insane asylum. Despite his publishing of a book that showed the death rate falling to under 1% if physicians would just wash, it was decades before his theories were adopted.
We shall see if delayed cord clamping becomes adopted practice in the United States. In nature, the mother animal (including humans without medical assist) have to severe the cord naturally and that certainly takes a bit of time. Maybe there is some selection advantage to that delay in the health of the baby.

Room 1: After Impressionism
The Salon—a juried system of exhibitions and prizes run by the ultra-conservative Academy of Fine Arts—dictated artistic careers in 19th-century France. The Impressionists were one group who broke free from the restrictions of the Salon, setting up a series of independent exhibitions from 1874 to 1886.
The Impressionists painted in a spontaneous and luminous style using a palette based on pure or unmixed colour. They often worked out-of-doors and chose subjects from everyday life which at the time was considered shocking.
After 1886, Claude Monet painted larger and more decorative works and began to work in series. Other Impressionists such as Edgar Degas, Camille Pissarro and Alfred Sisley reworked their earlier styles with a new freedom.

SLU Cancer Center Patients Find Voice through Therapeutic Songwriting
Music Therapists to Teach Expressive Technique at Community Grand RoundsEvent Details: 3:00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m., April 09, Il Monastero, 3050 Olive Street
Saint Louis University Cancer Center patients are writing songs. Unlike lyricists who set their sights on composing a song that is commercially marketable, these writers see their music in a different light. Creating a song brings them peace, healing and a way to express their feelings about the cancer that consumes their lives.
|Patient Zachary Stearns and SLU Cancer Center music therapist Andrew Dwiggins connect during a therapeutic songwriting session.
Songwriting empowers the cancer patients, says Crystal Weaver, senior music therapist at SLU Cancer Center, allowing them some semblance of control and self-expression during an extremely turbulent time.
"There are a lot of things involved with their cancer treatment that they can't control and have to do within a certain time frame. For instance, they have to take their medication and come into chemotherapy at a certain time. Their activities might be restricted," Weaver said.
"In contrast, a music therapy session is something they can control. Patients choose the genre of music they want to compose — country, rock, folk, something from the big band era, for instance. They don't have to know anything about music. As music therapists, we help them fit their words to a melody and chord structure to make a song."
The sessions start simply, and the process is more important than the final product, which often is composed in under an hour. A music therapist with a guitar and iPad runs the session, which starts with a few friendly questions.
What's on your mind? How are you doing? How do you feel?
"Our goal is to give them an appropriate way to express their emotions and the skills to cope during a very difficult time," Weaver said. "We try to get rid of as many limitations as possible so they can guide us through the process rather than a music therapist guiding them. Songwriting gives them a way to maintain their personal identity and a medium to articulate to others what they are experiencing."
Therapists ask their patients, if you were going to write a song, what would it be about? Some patients know exactly what they want to say, while for others, the answer can lie hidden in a mélange of fear, disappointment and sadness. Music therapists help them find their voice.
"Sometime we get the lyrical content by having a conversation with them. Sometimes it's as easy as having an open dialogue, and we can pull a phrase or concept directly from their words."
The experience is powerful therapy, Weaver said.
"Patients come away changed. They have a song that is tangible, something they can listen to and share with their families, who will have it for years to come. One patient who was in hospice recorded his song on YouTube and his family was so grateful they'd have something they could keep from him, something they could hold onto."
Saint Louis University Cancer Center, which is the region's only cancer center with a dedicated music therapist, is hosting a free session on therapeutic songwriting from 3 to 5 p.m. Wednesday, April 9 at Il Monastero, 3050 Olive Street.
Weaver; Andrew Dwiggins, SLU Cancer Center music therapist; and Tracie Sandheinrich, a music therapist with Maryville University's Kids Rock Cancer program, will teach the class.
Continuing education credits are available to board certified music therapists for the session, which is open to anyone in the community including music therapists, occupational therapists, physical therapists and students.
Registration is free and textbooks, donated by the Saint Louis University Hospital Auxiliary, are free to the first 75 attendees. To reserve a spot, contact Crystal Weaver, 314-268-7048 and firstname.lastname@example.com.

"Utah's economy is strong because it is diverse and we focus on job growth, keeping taxes low, maintaining a stable regulatory environment and affordable, sustainable energy resources," said Gov. Herbert. "We work to be business friendly and have a skilled labor force that is tech-savvy, industrious, multi-lingual and well educated."
This year's Enterprising States report includes an emphasis on the skills gap in today's labor force. During the roundtable, the governor addressed what Utah is doing to overcome this concern.
"Utah is united behind the goal that 66 percent of our working population will have a college degree or post-secondary certificate by the year 2020," said Gov. Herbert. "In addition, we are focusing on STEM education (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) to better align the skills of Utahns with the growing needs of the job market."
The updated edition of Enterprising States, released at the Small Business Summit, takes an in-depth look at the free enterprise policies being implemented to promote economic growth at the state level.
The report highlights Utah as a top state in numerous areas, including:
• Top five in all three job growth measures – Long-term; Short-term; and Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM)
• #3 in Gross State Product Growth
• #3 in Growth in share of national exports
• #3 in Higher-ed degree output
• #4 in Export intensity and growth
• #4 in New start up rate
• #5 in Bridge quality
• #6 in Labor force utilization
• #7 in High-tech share of all businesses
• #7 in Small business lending
• #7 in High School Advanced Placement scores
• #8 in Productivity growth

He is a very hard worker who believes in getting his work completed and done in a timely fashion. He is friendly and easy to get to know. If he has questions, he's never afraid to ask so that he can do his job even better than before. He cares not only about what he does, but the people that he works with. If asked, I would say that he is a great person to have as an employee. He is a team player and brings others into the team.

By NEMS Daily Journal
Gov. Phil Bryant, Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves and House Speaker Philip Gunn all promised that education would be the primary focus of the 2013 legislative session. They've kept that pledge.
Heading into the final three weeks of the regular session, the Republican leadership's education program is largely intact. Differences remain to be reconciled, and nothing is ever certain in the Legislature, but that so much has survived so long is testimony to the effectiveness of a planned and sustained focus.
They've compared this wave of education legislation to the Education Reform Act of 1982, which at the time was the most comprehensive state education legislation ever passed in the United States. This year's reforms aren't as far-reaching, but some of them do have significant potential.
Expanding the state's charter school law has dominated discussion, but it's unlikely to have the most important long-term impact of the proposals still alive. The first state funding for early childhood education, modest as it may be, will be a critical step in ensuring that all Mississippi children have the opportunity to be ready for school when they enter kindergarten.
A focus on having all children reading on grade level by the third grade, if it is accompanied by training and additional support for teachers, can have a major impact on student achievement since reading is the foundation for all learning. Higher standards for teachers and incentives to attract top-performing students into the profession are needed to ensure that every child in Mississippi has the best instruction possible. The data show clearly the overarching importance of a quality teacher to student academic performance.
Even the move toward referendums for school districts with elected superintendents to decide if they want to change to appointed school heads, while achingly cautious, at least gives advocates of opening the field for school leadership beyond narrow geography a chance to make their case. Charter school legislation, along with most of the rest of the education agenda, must still be negotiated in joint House-Senate conference committees. The final bill should be targeted to the areas of strongest potential positive impact by charters – those with chronically underperforming schools – and should not allow for-profit or online charter operators.
The 2013 legislative session could prove to be a pivotal one for public education, but there's a ways to go before the final product can be assessed.

Results through August 2010 The vertical bar on the left side of the graph above represents the initial reference measurement that we collected on the old asphalt before it was ground and repaved with new asphalt. The horizontal lines represent measurements on the four pavement types:
As with any scientific test, we used a control pavement against which we can compare the new pavement types and their acoustical performance. What are decibels and Hertz?
We measure the intensity of sound in decibels, which indicate a sound's relative loudness, and Hertz, which is the tone or pitch of sound that people hear. Decibels (dBA) from roadway noise are measured in A-weighting, which allows our noise meters to imitate the same frequencies that can be heard by the human ear. The decibel scale (pdf 334 kb) ranges from 0 decibels, the threshold of human hearing, to 140 decibels, where serious hearing damage can occur. The average human ear can only distinguish between two sound levels that are at least three dBA different in loudness. Traffic noise typically ranges between 55 and 80 dBA along a highway right of way line. According to the Federal Highway Administration, roadway noise impacts start at the 67 dBA level. This is when people standing a few feet apart have trouble hearing each other in normal communication. It should be noted everyone has a different reaction and tolerance to various noise levels. Most people only discern a difference in noise level when there is a three or more decibel change. This is equivalent to doubling traffic volumes, such as an increase of 1,000 to 2,000 vehicles on the road. A Hertz (Hz) is the measurement we use when studying the tone or pitch of sound that people hear. The higher a noise's Hz level, the higher it sounds. People generally hear the range between 20 and 10,000 Hz. Around the 1,000 Hz frequency are sounds that many people cannot ignore: crying babies, rushing streams and traffic noise.

The thicker wooden heel was great on cobblestones and a major plus over leather wrap heels which are harder to fix once you scuff them up. They looked great with a bridesmaids dress, pencil skirts, jeans and even shorts."
