When first-grade teacher Jean Kirshner stepped into a classroom in Belize in 2007, she knew her life would never be the same. She could not foresee then how many other lives also would change because of that visit.
Kirshner said she simply saw a need from which she could not turn away.
"I was stunned because there were no books or school supplies," said the Mammoth Heights Elementary School teacher. "It was heartbreaking. I knew I couldn't get back on that plane and leave it."
That visit was the impetus for the Belize Education Program, now a twice-yearly international visit by school staff from Belize and the Douglas County School District. Each fall, DCSD teachers and principals spend their fall break sharing educational practices in Belize, and every spring, staff from Belize visit Douglas County schools.
"The changes have been staggering," said Ed Goulart, also a Mammoth Heights first-grade teacher and a program participant since 2009. "The first year I went down, most of the classes didn't have many books for children to read. They had bare concrete floors.
"Since then, we've watched the teachers replicate things that will work for them culturally down there. We've seen a change in teachers' attitudes — more collaborative and less a sage on the stage. They're doing so much to beautify their rooms, putting beautiful artifacts on the walls, finding linoleum to put on those concrete floors."
The relationship between the two groups of educators also has changed to what Goulart describes as a supportive partnership.
"Together, we're lifting kids," Kirshner said. "It's not through charity but through solidarity."
Teachers who visit fill suitcases with books and school supplies, saving their carry-ons for personal items. Last year, 24 teachers made the trip to Belize, each with two 50-pound pieces of checked luggage for a total of 2,400 pounds of school supplies.
The program has drawn the attention of the Belize Education Ministry and a U.S. ambassador.
But what pleases Kirshner most is the change she sees in students and teachers.
"I feel like the educators and teachers value their calling on a whole new level," she said.
Because Douglas County program participants pay the trip's approximately $1,500 per-person cost, they are a select, highly dedicated group.
The experience they have is personally and professionally transformative. As the excess of American culture is stripped away, both Kirshner and Goulart said their mission both at home and abroad becomes clearer.
"I've streamlined what's important, what do you really need for effective instruction and what's sort of bling," Kirshner said.
On a personal level, Goulart said the program also helped him realize a long-held altruistic desire.
"A few years ago, the person who would go to Belize to work with teachers and children was the type of person I always wanted to be," he said. "And then I did it. Now, that's just who I am."

Was thinking it's possible he also meant both "primo's", like he manipulated the whole betrayal in the 1st place by messing with both of their minds in the past 1st generation like he might be messing with both of their minds now. Like maybe he helped Enma's words affect Tsuna more than they should have.

It's possible he's lying about 90% of what he said. Earlier they said the key to the mist guardians power is just placing a sliver of doubt that what you're seeing is true and then you're already under their perception and control. So there might be 1 more giant twist of a lie.

If an illusion can create organs, then its not surprising that an illusion can keep someone alive for so many years. I guess his power is naturally running out and he needs a stronger body (lolwut...Orochimaru?) so he's after Mukuro.
Wow....can't wait for next week. Just as we suspected, the battles are just the side dish to an even bigger story.
The Mukuro theory seems the simplest and like the best bet.

Wonder if this is a prelude to like 300 chapters down the line Mukuro betraying Tsuna in some just evil way. I was partly right about him needing/ being afraid of Chrome/ Mukuro. Disappointed though that Chrome is still this weak. I get she has no ring right now and all but her always needing like more help than Lambo is getting annoying. That other Mukuro fangirl was right, she sucks. Hope she gets stronger soon. Seems like Chrome, and Yammamoto might not fight till the end of this arc changing things up a bit.
People say that "How can Spade be back, he should be dead"
... What about Talbot? He's still alive, and he was around when Primo was.

Pumpkin seeds with gluten contamination
Posted by Reviewer1599966 on Jun 30, 2008
I have used many Now supplement for years with good success, but haven't been using their food products. I was disappointed that their pumpkin seeds I ordered seemed to have gluten contamination. I had a gluten reaction when I ate them which cleared when I stopped eating them. When I called NOW they said that gluten containing foods were processed in the same plant where the pumpkin seeds were packaged. If you are very sensitive to gluten, as I am, find a different source for your pumpkin seeds.
Good Seeds, great value!
Posted by Reviewer3266110 on Oct 13, 2009
I eat about a 1/4 cup of pumpkin seeds a day and just eat them direct from the jar. These are very good tasting, assuming you like raw pumpkin seeds, and I was very pleased at the value and shipping cost. I have found some less expensive; however, the shipping cost really added up. Will purchase again. I know some folks like to have the pumpkin seed oil or capsules, but I think that eating them as God made them is the best way to gain the benefits of pumpkin seeds.
Product of China
Posted by Reviewer1304578 on Sep 24, 2014
I have bought these for a long time, but I am very disappointed now. I looked at the back of the bags that I recently purchased, and it states that these are a product of China. I don't know when NOW started purchasing these from China, but they used to not be from there. The product image on Iherb's site shows the product when it was not from China. I will not be buying these anymore.
terrible aftertaste

you get what you pay for I suppose. I would not buy these again, the aftertaste was like the plastic bag.

These are the freshest and best seeds I have found on the internet as well as the best price. I will definitely order them again.

We love Edens pumpkin seeds and go through them fast. So we thought we'd try this because its in a much bigger bag. But what a waste. We couldn't even force ourselves to eat them. Unfortunately the company only takes returns on unopened items. We'll stick with Eden's.

Lets Hope The Canucks Are Just Tired
Thomas Drance
January 16 2012 12:48PM
Though the Canucks have won three times in the past five games, including two wins over the Bruins and Blues (both among the best five-on-five teams in the NHL), the team has been playing by far their worst hockey of the season.
At Canucks Army, we pride ourselves on contextualizing results, and placing more emphasis on predictive signs like the way a team controls events, especially when the score is tied, than on transient ones, like wins and losses. In the first month of the season, this approach led us to point out how unlucky the team was, and to assure our readers that the team was poised to turn it around despite some frustrating losses and the club's .500 record. By that same logic, it's worth pointing out that the Canucks are trending in the wrong direction over the past week.
The Canucks usually control possession and dictate the tempo of their games, but since the start of their most recent road-trip they've been thoroughly dominated at even-strength. 5 games isn't a large sample, so this should be taken with some salt. In fact, I could probably find five games from last season that were just as ugly, and were a meaningless blip with no analytical value. I'm not saying the Canucks are boned, I'm just pointing out a recent trend and trying to figure out what's going on.
We'll start by taking a quick look at the team's overall control of play, using shots, Corsi and Fenwick as proxies for possession. Shot % is simple, it's a ratio of shots for and shots against for the team. Corsi is a metric that is a lot like traditional plus/minus except it takes into account not just goals for and against, but also shots, misses, and blocked shots. Fenwick is a Corsi variant that disregards blocked shots and I've also included PDO, which, measures luck. PDO is the sum of a team's save percentage and shooting percentage, and you can read more on it here. What's clear is that the team's drop-off since their victory over the Wild on January 4th, has been sharp:
|Time Frame
|Shot %
|Corsi %
|Fenwick %
|First 41 Games
|Last 5 Games
First off a big thank you is in order. All of the above numbers come courtesy of timeonice.com, a valuable resource provided to stats-nerds by Vic Ferrari. If you're interested in learning more about how to use this indispensable resource, I'd refer you to this "how to" post from Red Line Station.
A couple of things to notice from the numbers in the above table: the team's PDO has cratered, and that's mostly the result of their save percentage normalizing (it's at .927% on the season, but .902% over the last five games). While the bounces haven't been kind to the Canucks over the past five games, it's not the "reason" they've been struggling as of late.
The Canucks are a possession team, and all season we've seen them dominate possession while out-shooting and out-chancing their opponents at even-strength. The past five games have been a different story, and the Canucks have been extremely reliant on their special teams play to squeak out a couple of wins (two of them in extra time). If you've noticed the Canucks spending more time in their own end over the past week, and seen the extended offensive-zone cycle shifts from Kesler and the twins, that are the team's hall-mark, evaporate, the numbers bear that impression out.
What's especially concerning is that the team's control of play during the "clutch" moments of games, when the score is even, has fallen off even more precipitously:
|Time Frame
|Fenwick Tied %
|First 41 Games
|Last 5 Games
Fenwick Tied % is the gold-standard of predictive metrics in terms of forecasting playoff success. Good team's control the flow of the game when it really matters, and the Canucks have been unable to do so over the past week. Controlling under 35% of scoring chances in tied games, even over a small sample of games, is very much out of character for this team. The Canucks are struggling at even-strength, and if they continue to do so, the wins are going to dry up.
So what's going on? The most popular theory is that the team is simply fatigued. Last night's no-show against the Ducks was the team's 21st game in 42 days since December 4th. During that span, the Canucks have made two East Coast swings, celebrated an abbreviated Christmas and New Years, and have enjoyed the benefit of having two days off between games only four times (and that includes Christmas).
As a result of this grueling schedule, the Canucks have played more road games than any other team except for Phoenix with whom they're tied with 26 roadies. If fatigue is the reason the Canucks have struggled of late, then that's good news, because then the current slide is just a blip, and nothing that the week-long All-Star break won't fix. The Canucks only play four games over the next 16 days, so there is a fair bit of time for recuperation over the next half month.
Assuming the Canucks are just fatigued, then we can put a positive spin on the team's performance the past week. After all, they've still managed to bank points during the toughest part of their schedule. But we have to hope that this is just noise, and overall team fatigue, and isn't caused by something more sinister and permanent. If, for example, the team's fall-of in performance is mostly due to the loss of the oft-injured Sami Salo and the stability he brings to the top-4, then that is a serious issue. Especially because addressing a need in the top-4 will cost the Canucks a wealth of treasure at the deadline...

The overall goal of Dr. Means' laboratory is to understand the role of pathogen-sensing by the innate immune system. Research to date has focused on the role that Toll-like Receptors (TLRs) and Scavenger receptors play in the innate immune response to a myriad of microbial pathogens. We have previously shown that macrophages and dendritic cells express unique gene expression signatures, including distinct cytokine and chemokine expression, in response to different danger signals. We are using knockout mice and RNAi to dissect the regulation of these pathways and how they induce protective immunity to infections.
Another research focus in the lab is the study of TLR7/TLR9-mediated immune system activation in system lupus erythematosus. We have found that RNA/DNA containing immune complexes found in the serum of active human lupus patients activates immune cells. We are currently studying the innate sensors and pathways that regulate SLE immune complex recognition and what role they play in the pathogenesis of lupus and other autoimmune diseases.

I've viewed several searches on this subject. On Settings, it says that I can change it under, Default Calendar. When I click on this I only see two options, Home and Work, and I don't see any of my other calendars, and especially the one I want to set as a default. What can I do to find my calendar choice as an option?.

Thanks guys for your help. It seems that I may have mislead you. I'm using Google Calendar but I'm hooked up to my iPad with Exchange.

Re: Changing Default Calendar
Got it! Thanks, I missed the step about going to calendar and adding my new one.
I have another question. I just added a task to my new calendar and even before making that calendar my default, it showed up on my factory issue iPad calendar. However, even setting the new default I don't see that event on my Google calendar on my PC. Any idea why this wouldn't be synching both ways?

Re: Changing Default Calendar
I've figured out the problem but not how to solve it. Somehow I have two calendars on MY MAIN Google calendar, a Work and Home. The other day I remember changing the default from Work to Home. On my new default calendar they show links to all of my calendars, and I see the task under the Work, but not the Home calendar. In doing a search I can't find how to change it back and I don't see it in the Google calendar settings. Any idea how to change this.

Re: Changing Default Calendar
Oops! I didn't make it clear. My last post was actually referring to the Google Calendar that's on my PC. I'm fine with my iPad calendar now but I don't see the event I entered on my iPad in my Windows Google calendar. My new calendar app allows me to easily switch between various calendars. I see this event on my Google Work calendar view but when I go to my PC it doesn't appear. As I said in my last post, I recall changing the default from Work to Home just the other day, but I can't remember how I did that. I would like to change the view back to Work. I know this is an Apple forum but maybe someone knows the answer to this. Thanks for any help anyone ha to offers.

Mission and History
Editorial Projects in Education has its origins in the Sputnik era, when anxiety over the United States' ability to withstand a concerted challenge to its technological pre-eminence touched off a wave of initiatives to improve the nation's schools and colleges. Although EPE today is recognized as the premier source of news, information, and analysis on American precollegiate education, it grew out of a bold experiment by 15 editors of leading university alumni magazines to speak with one voice to their readers as higher education sought to respond to the deep national concerns of that time.
The Soviet Union's 1957 launch of the first manmade satellite to orbit the earth riveted attention on space and inspired the editors to call their collaborative research and writing project the "Moonshooter." With a $12,000 grant from the Carnegie Corporation of New York, they produced a report the next year formally titled American Higher Education: 1958. Eventually, 150 colleges signed up for the 32-page report, which reached nearly 1 million college-educated Americans.
The success of that first venture led to the group's incorporation as Editorial Projects in Education, a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization, and the production of further reports and publications oriented to higher education. The most notable of those endeavors was The Chronicle of Higher Education. Launched in November 1966, on the eve of an extraordinarily turbulent period for America's university campuses, The Chronicle was soon recognized as an unparalleled observer of the higher education scene.
In 1978, EPE sold The Chronicle to its editors – a decision that set the stage for a fundamental shift in direction by EPE to K-12 education. Inspired by the example of The Chronicle, EPE determined that the precollegiate field likewise needed independent, first-rate journalistic coverage of national scope. With the support again of the Carnegie Corporation as well as other philanthropies, EPE founded Education Week in September 1981.
Just as the launch of The Chronicle had occurred on the cusp of an epochal period for higher education, the debut of the "chronicle of precollegiate education" came as the first stirrings of a remarkable age of ferment in K-12 schooling were being felt. And even as Education Week's early issues were airing the still-new Reagan administration's plans to curtail the federal role in education, the field's upstart "newspaper of record" was pointing to new anxieties about the state of the nation's schools that echoed those of EPE's earliest days. Those concerns, emerging against a backdrop of global competition and economic dislocation, gained rhetorical force and policy momentum with the 1983 report A Nation at Risk. The ensuing waves of K-12 improvement measures known simply as "the reform movement" helped establish, in turn, Education Week's role as the most trusted source of news and analysis on one of the biggest continuing stories in American society.
At the newspaper's founding in 1981, EPE had 18 employees. That had grown to 68 as of 1995, and 94 in Spring 2007. With attrition and staffing cuts, the number in Spring 2010 was 72 (plus interns), and the current annual budget was about $13 million.
Seeking over the years to build strategically on Education Week's reputation as the single "must read" news source for K-12 leaders and policy experts, Editorial Projects in Education has extended its reach through a host of print and online offerings that complement its flagship publication and position the organization for sustainable success in the 21st century.
The launch of edweek.org in 1996 ushered EPE into the Digital Age and created a platform for the evolution of Education Week into a hybrid print-online news organization that provides distinctive staff-written original reporting while also aggregating high-quality content from other sources and offering Web 2.0, multimedia, and other features. The current frequency of print publication – 37 issues a year, down from a high of 45 – reflects the migration of news to the Web, yet still allows a significant presence for the newspaper. The 2010 introduction of a new series of Education Week special reports, on topics such as the economic stimulus, and e-learning, testifies to the continued value of print, as does the popularity of the Quality Counts, Technology Counts, and Diplomas Count annual reports. At the same time, edweek.org has opened up new audiences well beyond Education Week's core readership of administrators and enabled reporters to connect in real time with readers through blogs and online chats.
EPE's commitment to an increasingly "24/7" understanding of the news is also reflected, meanwhile, in the August 2009 debut of the daily EdWeek Update e-newsletter, which has spurred the increased timeliness of Education Week's reporting and enabled the paper to "push out" same-day coverage of major stories, from Race to the Top winners to the release of National Assessment of Educational Progress results.
The hybrid approach also characterizes EPE's offerings for teachers, who have a lively forum for news, information, advice, and opinion on the Teacher channel of edweek.org, while also receiving a mix of articles and useful directory listings in the twice-yearly Teacher Professional Development Sourcebook. Likewise, EPE has reached out to a new audience of school district technology leaders through its Digital Directions channel on edweek.org and its thrice-yearly Digital Directions magazine.
EPE seeks to advance the quality of K-12 education in other ways as well, using a variety of tools both old and new. Its EPE Research Center amasses authoritative data for the high-profile Counts reports, does commissioned work for outside clients, and packages topically themed Education Week Spotlight reports. A new line of Education Week Leadership Forums connects school leaders with colleagues and leading experts, and EPE webinars bring fresh insights and advice to educators online. A centuries-old medium, books, has a place in the mix through the Education Week Press.
In the sixth decade since its founding, EPE remains true to its mission: raising the level of understanding and discourse on critical issues in American education.

Hi Steve, I have wondered myself what Aizen meant by calling the Soul King a Thing. I had considered whether the soul King is indeed an inanimate object like a Book of Laws for instance. However, I have come to believe that the Soul King is in fact a living being with mind and conscience, and not a literal thing.
Consider that in Bleach Komamura has a Dog's head, and Yoruichi is literally a Cat. Yet Yoruichi being a cat is still a member of one of SS's founding families. This has led to my current assumptions as to the nature of the soul king.
1) If the SK is not a living being, why does he require a Palace and Five Uber Powerful Captains to Guard him/it. It is quite easy to protect a none living Object, Simply bury it in a place known to few people. No need to move to a private dimension and have 5 Captains who could be protecting Seireitei tied up guarding an empty palace.
2) If A semi-royal Family can be Cats, what's to say that the Soul King is not a Rat, Cockroach, or an ant, even a sentient and intelligent one?
My current thinking is that the SK is a living being, albeit one that is weak and not a life-form held in great regard. I think that this Creature has taken a liking to Kurosaki Ichigo and wants to meet him, those are the orders he has given to the Squad Zero Captains.
THe soul king must have very unique qualities, even if it is weak in battle, and not an impressive life form. I also believe that the SK is peace loving, and disagrees with SS's violent past.

Whenever I'm enjoying a bit of self-pity, I make butternut squash risotto. The classic pairing of empty starch with generous quantities of fat make it an ideal comfort food. Already this fall, I've eaten it three times.
This recipe, culled from a Williams-Sonoma autumn catalog, taught me how to cook risotto from scratch. It taught me how to caramelize onions. It taught me how to deglaze a pan with white wine. It made me love sage. This risotto was the first food I ever made that tasted good enough to serve in a restaurant. Enamored, I made it every week for months until my husband grew to hate butternut squash (more for me, fool).
This recipe is easily veganized: substitute vegan margarine for butter and omit the cheese.
I typically use dried herbs at a ratio of 1 tablespoon fresh : 1 teaspoon dried.
One large yellow onion should yield 2/3 cup caramelized onions: slice into thin half moons and stir frequently in a bit of oil or margarine over low heat until sweet and browned, 15-20 minutes. Add a teensy bit of brown sugar if you choose.
Of course, the best part of making risotto is polishing off the wine remaining after you've deglazed the pan. If you're going to stand at the stove stirring non-stop for 30 minutes, you might as well keep it interesting, right?

Postgame: Canada v. Finland
Dimitri Filipovic
February 16 2014 01:53PM
Image via the man himself
Heading into the Sochi Olympics there was a general perception that the bigger ice surface would bring with it a more exciting, up-tempo, back-and-forth brand of hockey. But as many people, including Smilin' Don Cherry himself, have astutely pointed out: the big ice has allowed defensively inclined teams to load up on the blue line and force the opposition to dump the puck in (which is generally speaking a much less effective form of zone entry than actually carrying it in with possession). There's a lot of "trapping it up" unfolding before our very eyes.
As a result, we've only seen an average of 2.65 goals/game in preliminary group play despite all of the world's top players being involved. I don't even want to imagine what the play would look like if this wasn't a "best-on-best" tournament, because it would probably make for unwatchable viewing.
While this morning's 2-1 overtime victory wasn't *that* bad, it was still riddled with dry moments that were severely lacking in excitement. For a team that's as depleted as the Finnish squad is, I'm sure that it was music to their ears. By keeping a much more talented Canadian squad to the outside, and limiting the number of events for the majority of the time, they were able to give themselves a fighting chance.
Fortunately there's only one Drew Doughty, though.
The Rundown
It was the Drew Doughty show, once again, as he continued his phenomenal tournament by putting home a pair of goals (giving him 4 through 3 games). While he's clearly amongst the league's best blueliners over in the NHL, being freed up from Darry Sutter's grip has really allowed him to take his game to another level in Sochi. Even Canucks fans can't help but marvel at what he has been able to do thus far in establishing himself as the team's top defenseman. He's a sniper.
Another interesting subplot: it may very well be a coincidence since I'm not sure what it's telling us, but the two best players in this tournament look like pudgy, homeless dudes. Maybe don't judge a book by its cover, I guess?
A few other notes before we get to the scoring chances:
- According to Sapp Macintosh, Canada controlled 72.5% of all shot attempts in score close situations. That sounds about right, since they seemingly had the puck for the entirety of the game. The scoring chances, while still in their favour, were only 16-7, which kind of reflects what Finland was attempting to do (and actually wound up accomplishing). Almost everything was to the outside, and whenever Canada did manage to get in close.. Tuukka Rask was there. Well, except for the two softies he uncharacteristically wound up letting past him.
Rick Nash had a goal called back in the first period because of a high stick, and I can honestly say that I've never seen something like this happen. As Thomas Drance noted, the right play would've been to knock the puck from underneath the crossbar.. but that's obviously easier said than done. If someone managed to actually pull that off it'd probably be one of the greatest goals ever.
- Sidney Crosby still doesn't have a goal through 3 games, and I have to say that he didn't look all that good with Bergeron and Benn beside him (after those two had been 2/3rds of the team's most effective line against Norway and Austria). He's had something of a weird tournament so far. He hasn't been nearly as bad as some people would leave you to believe, but he does only have 2 assists, and 4 shots on goal next to his name. Which, given his lofty standards, is subpar. Plus.. his line has surrendered the most scoring chances against out of any thus far. If you'll recall he was also pretty quiet in Vancouver, before finally coming to life at the most opportune of moments.
The most annoying part is that for as long as he (relatively) struggles, this whole "chemistry" narrative will have legs.. What most people won't conveniently note, though, is how he and Toews are taking on the other team's best players allowing Ryan Getzlaf and John Tavares to mash. That doesn't fit the narrative. Basically this is where I stand with him: I'm nowhere near panicking, but he will need to be better if the team is going to win this whole thing.
- I don't know what you have to do to impress Steve Yzerman, but apparently winning a big game in overtime to avoid a dangerous Russian squad simply won't get it done..
The Scoring Chances
The chance count is brought to you by Cam Charron, who to go along with tracking them did a fine job of breaking down Doughty's winner. Make sure you give that a read because it's a quality piece of work. And with that out of the way, here are the individual numbers:
Here's the cumulative team data, broken down by period:
Dan Hamhuis
As someone who has the luxury of watching him play on a nightly basis, I love what Dan Hamhuis is capable of doing on the ice to bits. He's a fantastic hockey player, and for my money one of the most underrated players in the sport. Most of the things that he does so well aren't exactly considered "sexy", and he almost never makes it on highlight reels for people outside of Vancouver to see.
But he played 3:58 in this game, and was a complete non-factor. Meanwhile, PK Subban, wasn't dressed as a result. I don't understand how you can watch a game like this and not think to yourself "man this team sure could use someone as dynamic and capable of making things happen like that PK Subban!" He's one of the very best in the sport in that regard, and is for some reason being completely wasted by Mike Babcock and his staff.
It's mystifying how basically everyone on Twitter can be 100% united in their opinion on what the optimal lineup combinations are for this team, yet some brilliant minds are totally missing the plot. I don't have an explanation for it. Babcock told reporters that "there would be lineup changes for sure", but at this point who's to say that he'll get it right?
In this game he finally removed Chris Kunitz from Crosby's hip, but still for some reason kept utilizing him on the power play. Meanwhile, Martin St.Louis, the reigning Art Ross winner isn't playing for some reason.
Roberto Luongo
Yes, I was definitely surprised that the coaching staff went back to Price in this one following Luongo's strong showing v. Austria. I figured that he had earned himself another start after having looked so solid, but apparently Pierre LeBrun's assertions that the team's brain trust had already predetermined that Carey Price was their guy were correct.
With all of that being said, Price was fine in this game. He was tested only sparingly, and the only time he was beaten was following a nice tip by Tuomo Ruutu through traffic. To his credit he made a big-time save early in the overtime with what looked like his stick, that kept the game going (eventually allowing Doughty to take all of the glory for himself). I assume that he's going to get the nod again in their quarterfinal matchup, but Don Cherry did have the following to say:
"I figure they know what Lalongo can do, so they're gonna give Price another game. But I still think they'd end up with Lalongo."— Dimitri Filipovic (@DimFilipovic) February 16, 2014
Hm. The problem with that is that if they need to turn back to Luongo at any point in the future, it'll probably mean that they're in some kind of trouble..
What's Next?
via James Mirtle
Ultimately pulling this one out was huge for Canada, since they managed to avoid a potential QF outing against a Russian team that I'd want no part of (despite their struggles). For those that are unfamiliar with them, though, the Swiss are far from a pushover. They gave Canada all sorts of trouble in group play back in 2010, and then pulled out a Silver in the World Championships this past summer.
They're 2-1 thus far in Sochi, owning Latvia, hanging with Sweden until the very end, and then giving the Czechs all sorts of trouble. They've got a bunch of NHL players, including Raphael Diaz and Yannick Weber on the blueline. They've also only given up 1 goal against thus far, and will undoubtedly try to follow a similar gameplan to that of Finland. They'll actually probably be even more effective doing so, because they're an infinitely faster team from top to bottom, which'll make for a very interesting QF matchup. Maybe the Swiss will start to get mainstream attention if they're able to hang with the Canadians.
Don't expect a blowout, would be my advice..
February 16 2014, 06:32PM
Crosby is the David Booth of Team Canada
All stats and no goals.
Cherry's comments with regards to Lalongo were during the first intermission, and talking about the current game. His belief was the Lu's back in for the next game, not when they're in trouble.
I hope these games put to rest the idea that bigger ice equals more offence. It's too easy for play to be pushed to the perimeter.
Man Team Canada reminds me of the Canucks! Fancy pants hanging by the side of the net, waiting for the perfect pass. What they should be doing is proving that the are bigger and stronger than the Finns, Sweeds, US or da Ruskies!
This a team game for the Gold and I say be Canadian and knock there freakin face masks off! Finns, is that really a country?
Love me some Teemu, :)as a Peg'er he is a legend
My point was that the only reason Luongo would draw back in at this point would be if Price faltered, which would more than likely coincide with the team not being in the best of positions. For ex. after giving up a couple of early goals to the States in the Semis.
D.... The die was cast... Price is the guy that will be the goalie for team Canada, and Babcock was in a deal....... Hmmmmm who has played better against me???
Luo is a Shakespearian figure in the way we love him and anticipate his failures. I was at the playoff game vs Ducks when Luo was looking at the linesman and BC boy Scott Nied scored that goal!
OT is not acceptable! #PlayCandianhockey!

February 21, 2017,
Serum cholinesterase is a blood test that looks at levels of two substances that help the nervous system work properly. They are called acetylcholinesterase and pseudocholinesterase. Your nerves need these substances to send signals.
Acetylcholinesterase is found in nerve tissue and red blood cells. Pseudocholinesterase is found primarily in the liver.
Acetylcholinesterase; RBC (or erythrocyte) cholinesterase; Pseudocholinesterase; Plasma cholinesterase; Butyrylcholinesterase; Serum cholinesterase
A blood sample is needed. Most of the time blood is drawn from a vein located on the inside of the elbow or the back of the hand.
No special steps are needed to prepare for this test.
You may feel slight pain or a sting when the needle is inserted. You may also feel some throbbing at the site after the blood is drawn.
Your health care provider may order this test if you may have been exposed to chemicals called organophosphates, which are used in pesticides. This test can help determine your risk of poisoning.
Less often, this test may be done:
Typically, normal pseudocholinesterase values range between 8 and 18 units per milliliter (U/mL).
Note: Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.
The examples above show the common measurements for results for these tests. Some laboratories use different measurements or may test different specimens.
Decreased pseudocholinesterase levels may be due to:
Smaller decreases may be due to:
Ford MD. Acute poisoning. In: Goldman L, Ausiello D, eds. Cecil Medicine . 23rd ed. Philadelphia, Pa: Saunders Elsevier. 2007: chap 111.

We have a little tradition here at the Nation Network. They who win the Battle of Alberta writes the next GDB on both sites. So buckle up Flames Fans because you are going to get it and we are going to give it to you.
For far too long Edmontonians and Calgarians have battled back and forth with the same old witty jabs and name calling. Calgary has one Cup - a bra has two. Edmonton has no running water or intelligence of any sort. You have the Stampede, we have a free hot dog lunch in the parking lot of Bonnie Doon shopping mall. Yeah, yeah yeah. We get it.
This time around we are dispensing with the usual insults and getting to the heart of the matter of what is really wrong with you Calgary.
Oooooh. We get it Calgary. You are the rich neighbours to the South with all of your money and power and fancy high rise buildings. Everyone understands that at some point in the mid 90s all of our businesses picked up and moved down Highway 2. Well guess what? We were like 8 years old when that happened. Didn't care then - didn't care now.
Frankly you did us a favour Calgary. We will never figure out how jedi mind tricked the bulk of our corporate douchebags to pack up their drycleaned belongings and move three hours away but we thank you.
And while we watch the game tonight and see a bunch of non-plussed suit types sitting on their hands in the Saddledome in jerseys that still have their tags on we will thank the Gods that none of them are up here pretending to be Oilers fans anymore.
Good riddance.
US v YOU
Speaking of Flames fans where have they gone? We seem to remember a whole mess of people filing into your Red Mile during your ill fated Cup run. People all over the were quick to cheer for "KIPPPPPERRRRRRRR" and "IGGGGGYYY" and Company. And yet nowdays there don't seem to be nearly as many people up repping the flaming C.
That's probably because the bulk of people following aren't really Flames fans. They are sports consumers. When the milk is fresh you are all happy to have a glass. When the milk goes sour - no one will come within a hundred miles.
Contrast that with Edmonton. We have been drinking sour milk for so long we have developed a taste for it. In fact many of us now prefer it. Doesn't matter if the Oilers finish in last place every year until the end of time. Oilers fans are in the business of living and dying with the team. Anyone with any hockey sense at all would have abandoned this team years ago and yet here we are millions strong all around the world.
And luckily the Oil are on the verge of being awesome. While Calgary is going to gently float down to the bottom of the league until your 33 NTCs expire in 2035.
Looking at your roster - who is there even to get excited about?! Iginla in the prime of the twilight of his fine career? Pfft. Steve Begin? Jiri Hudler? Who the hell are any of these old bastards anyway? There is literally not a single player on your entire roster that we could possibly get excited about. Anyone skilled is old. Anyone young is marginal. It would be funny if it wasn't so sad.
We remember when we were trying to convince ourselves that players like Roman Cervenka were going to be the answer. Our Cervenka had names like Cole and O'Sullivan. We hoped and prayed late into the night that they could find something deep down within themselves and become awesome. And guess what - it didn't work.
It never works. Your roster was built around a core and that core expired about 4 years ago. Now you are like the guy who went all in on a 5-3 offsuit with a hunch "things were going to look better after the flop." Well the flop came up all Kings and now you have nothing left to do but play out your hand.
And lose.
There is literally nothing you can do to win this battle Flames fans. Even if the Oilers lose (and they may) they are still the far superior team and we both know it. Even if the Flames win by 10 goals it will be no more satisfying than being given a free shrimp cocktail at a banquet on the Titanic. You are headed to the bottom and everyone on board is starting to sense disaster.
And there isn't an insult in the book you can lob our way that will have any impact. Yes we are your hillbilly cousins up Highway 2. We are eternal optimists who have had a crap team and lacked the brain stem or the reality check to realize it. Now after being rewarded for coming in last for so long we have an embarassment of riches for a lineup and 18 year old Russian superstars sliding all over while we lose our drunken minds in celebration.
Its all happening up here and nothing is happening down there and you would be madder except that most of your bandwagon jumping fans have left long ago. Perhaps we should lend you the terms "ELPH" and "Shitanusly bad hockey." They got us through some dark days.
Oh and it's Wayne Gretzky's birthday today. Remember him?
GAME DAY PREDICTION: This is as easy to predict as getting some drunk Calgary
tramp girl to flash her boobs during the only Cup run Calgarians will witness in the next two decades...Oilers win 5-2.
OBVIOUS GAME DAY PREDICTION: One thing Flames and Oiler fans can agree on is it is great not having Mark Lee call the game on HNIC. Also buckle up it could be a long game with Tom Kowal and Greg Kimmerly reffing the game. They are as blind as the guys who thought every Calgary
tramp girl who flashed on the red mile was hot.
NOT-SO-OBVIOUS GAME DAY PREDICTION: During the second period one of the mics at ice level picks up the audio from a conversation between Jarome Iginla and Jordan Eberle.
"Hey Ebs, tell Tambo I'd gladly waive my non-trade clause and come play with you guys." Eberle smiles and replies, "You betcha, but I hope you are okay playing on the 2nd line." Iginla smiles, "No problem, at least I'd have a chance to make the playoffs again." Within moment the Nations blow up with talk of a possible trade. Flames fans start calling him "Judas", while Oiler fans calmly sit back knowing that Iginla speaks the truth.
Thanks to Gregor for giving me his Game Day Predictions

January 26 2013, 12:23PM
I can't wait another 8 hours...
Two epic posts from Wanye in 24 hours, but this one is majestic. Holy. The photos alone are stunning.
Haha this is fantastic. I'm sure, as a Flames fan, we'll be seeing many more of these to come over the next few seasons (8 per season, 20 game win streak over the Flames). Make sure they're all top notch like this and it might ease the pain. Might.
Pretty sure your fans are still 8 year olds though. That first comment, all in caps, and the stupid fisting, makes it seem like you (from your picture) truly are the throbbing bunch of teens, high on ecstasy, and unable to do more than sweat and grope upon a poor innocent female dubstep fan.
That being said, GO FLAMES!
Happy birthday Gretz, also my pops' bday today.
Also. WHERE DID IGINLA GET THAT AXE??

I think you forgot the game part of the game day thread. What an Edmonton like thing to do.
In terms of the rest, Calgary is a bigger/nicer/better city ... check. Calgary spends less time on the internet ... okay. The Flames are built around an expired core ... no kidding. The Oiler's have sucked so long that they are immune to insults and like sour milk ... good for you.
Can I have my three minutes back?
Indian Gold!
Alright Wanye, we get your point. Let me see, the Flames beat the Oilers 4 times last season with some strong physical play. The Oilers took the last 2 which definitely helped in our cause to not make the playoffs.
Darryl Sutter's defensive system paralyzed the Oilers 2 nights ago. The Kings took too many penalties and special teams did them in. Note, how to beat the Oilers: play very well defensively.
Of course OilersNation has more site visits, if the Flames had 5 really talented first round picks it would go the other way. Didn't Dubnyk surrender 6 goals in a single period?
January 26 2013, 12:33PM
I live in Calgary and cheer for Edmonton! The last thing I want to see is gloating after three games of hockey.
Nothing needs to be said, everyone in Calgary is aware that the Oilers are re-building with youth.
What made the rivalry special back when the " real Wayne", was dominating, was that both teams were really good! We should be praying that Calgary improves so we can once again experience the best hockey played in the world!
January 26 2013, 12:34PM

Possibly the greatest GDB ever. It's only sullied by the peripheral reference to P.O.S., whose vile name I thought had been forever stricken from the Nation's records. Someone should get on that...

"Also buckle up it could be a long game with Tom Kowal and Greg Kimmerly effing the game."
I'm not sure if you meant to say "reffing" or not. "Effing" is probably gonna be more accurate.

I don't get the criticism for trying to be competitive while also re-building. I'd say that's the ideal route to take, no? I definitely don't understand the "Flames should blow it up and suck for 5 years" just because that's how it was done in Edmonton. Before you get too excited: the Edmonton rebuild hasn't yet reached a successful conclusion. I expect it will eventually, but most intelligent leaders wouldn't deliver a brutal product for 5 years in order to have a *chance* at something special. Well done Tambo. That guy has hockey AND business intelligence!
The old and slow beaks are getting a bit, well... old and slow. Iginla and Kiprusoff are in their mid-30s - correct. However, the Flames are actually 14th in the league in terms of age. Their prospect "cupboard" has actually come a long way in the last 3 years. Not that anyone outside of Calgary pays any attention to it - but that's just fine.
Anyone skilled is old, anyone young is marginal? The Oilers have done a magnificent job selecting the best prospect in the draft over the last several years. I get that most of your team is still in diapers, and most of them will become very good players, but it's ignorant to assume other teams don't have good young players too. Baertschi, Backlund and Brodie are pretty solid players in their early 20s. Comparing Cervenka to Patrick O'Sullivan is a joke. And Eric Cole? He's done pretty well everywhere outside of his short stint in Edmonton - as has Lupul. Just because things don't work out in Edmonton doesn't mean they don't anywhere - that's pretty uninformed.
I'm glad the battle of Alberta is back. All of these "old and slow losers" were having a hard time getting up for games against Edmonton. It's tough to be motivated when you're casually winning 85% of the games.
GDP: I'm going to hear more Maroon 5 being played over the saddledome ghetto-blaster between plays.
NSOGDP: My mute button gets the lettering worn off tonight.

Maybe instead of spending all this disposable Calgary income on ANOTHER condo in Phoenix, I'll come up to Edmonton and buy a share in the Oilers off of Mr. Katz (truly a great man and shrews business tycoon)
Then I will hire away Mr. Yakupov and make him a cabana boy at the pool near one of my Phoenix condos.
January 26 2013, 12:58PM
Chill out Flames fans...here's something to look forward to tonight
As a Flames fan (sigh), this smack talk is straight up brilliant. Touche' my hillbilly friend. Touche'.
You're only making it harder for yourself. Yeah, Dubnyk had 1 bad period, but the Flames haven't won a *single game* this season and the future only looks bleaker. Pretty hilarious that your going at us for one bad period without any wins. Although while we are talking about solid defense: did you know the Flames have given up more goals than the Oilers?
Also, I liked how you crapped on us for our "bad" game against the Kings where they paralyzed us with good solid defense yet we actually scored more goals than they did. Count on a Flames fan to praise great defense of a losing team in a 2-1 game... you've forgotten what winning looks like.
But seriously: best of luck drafting Nathan MacKinnon - he's a dynamic player - the sort of guy you could get excited about.
It's January and Calgary doesn't have a win! Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahabahahahaha!
January 26 2013, 01:09PM
Solid as ever Wanye. And nary a disagreement on my part.
I think you forgot the game part of the game day thread. What an Edmonton like thing to do.
In terms of the rest, Calgary is a bigger/nicer/better city ... check. Calgary spends less time on the internet ... okay. The Flames are built around an expired core ... no kidding. The Oiler's have sucked so long that they are immune to insults and like sour milk ... good for you.
Can I have my three minutes back?
Can I have my three minutes back? Bet you hear that often.
Hopefully your team does a better job at competing than you do at trying to be witty. #flamessuck
Oiler domination to follow.
Annnnd this is why I love the Nation. Beauty GDB Wanye, here's hoping Yak gets to try out a few more cellys in Calgary tonight! Oh and the Calgary flames are really no good and such.
Thanks Wanye, that was the funniest post I have ever read at this site.
January 26 2013, 01:13PM
@Rama Lama
I totally agree but not for a couple years at least as I want revenge on all those flamers who attacked me over and over again then we can make peace !!!! lol

"Also buckle up it could be a long game with Tom Kowal and Greg Kimmerly effing the game."
I'm not sure if you meant to say "reffing" or not. "Effing" is probably gonna be more accurate.
Only a flames fan would say that fisting is stupid. On this site it is a requirement!
Edit: And there is nothing wrong with groping teen girls (if your not married- oilers fans have some morals) - just keep your hands off my livestock flames fans :(
January 26 2013, 01:21PM
Who remembers this?
"I'm sorry — Edmonton finished where last year, caller? Want to wager on where we finish relative to Edmonton this year? I'm tired of this question, I'll tell you very honestly. I'm getting a little sour. How many teams . . . every year, for the last 10 years, five years, eight years, have finished in the bottom five, bottom seven, bottom 10? They've had a pick anywhere from No. 1 to No. 10 year after year after year after year, and they still wander in the desert. And they're no closer to getting out than they were 10 years ago. "You know what? I look forward to the Battle of Alberta for the next X number of years. If the idea is, 'Burn it to the ground,' then Ken can find another manager to do it."
Turns out "X" stands for "1" in that Feaster equation.
Oilers were better in the past. Oilers will be better in the future. Who cares about the present. Suck it Flames!!
January 26 2013, 01:24PM
Patrick O'Sullivan is accurate.
Game Day Prediction: The Flames dominate the first period but fail to score; then they lose the game in the second period when they allow 4 goals in a three minute span. Classic Flames Hockey. 6-2 Oiler final.
Obvious Game Day Prediction: The 10 or so Flames fans in attendance tonight who remeber the 1991 Game 6 Theo Fleury celebration will boo Yakupov for being better than Fleury in every way. Midway through the 3rd, this small, sad group of fans will go off to their homes and cry themselves to sleep still clutching baggies of viagra medication that no longer does anything for them.
Not-So-Obvious Game Day Prediction: Iginla scores a meaningless goal early in the third period and the stupid Flame Kettle gets full on stuck melting a giant hole in the ice right at the Flame blueline. Despite this: Calgary still cannot defend the Oiler transition game.
January 26 2013, 01:27PM
Here, hear!
The only present I care about is the Yak jersey that i'm asking for, for Christmas!
Wanye... You brought a tear to my eye.
*choked up*. *slow clap*.
January 26 2013, 01:31PM
EPIC GDB... just EPIC.
Some of the highlights include:
Contrast that with Edmonton. We have been drinking sour milk for so long we have developed a taste for it. In fact many of us now prefer it
And while we watch the game tonight and see a bunch of non-plussed suit types sitting on their hands in the Saddledome in jerseys that still have their tags on we will thank the Gods that none of them are up here pretending to be Oilers fans anymore.
And who could forget:
Eat Sh!t (Flames)
We love you Wanye!
January 26 2013, 01:35PM
From a Flames fans perspective, that is a hilarious article, and painstakingly true on all accounts. Hopefully the $8 beer will be cold tonight, as it may be needed.
January 26 2013, 01:36PM
8 years old in the mid 90's?
I know math!
I was 8 years old when The Oilers won their 4th cup! That is 2 full bras worth of cups!
Here is more math: What does 0-2-1 equal??
The Flames winless season! hahahaa
January 26 2013, 01:37PM
Suck it Flames, suck it!

Old Testament Reading
Document Actions
Proverbs 6:20-7:1
My son, keep your father's commandment, and forsake not your mother's teaching. Bind them upon your heart always; tie them about your neck. When you walk, they will lead you; when you lie down, they will watch over you; and when you awake, they will talk with you. For the commandment is a lamp and the teaching a light, and the reproofs of discipline are the way of life, to preserve you from the evil woman, from the smooth tongue of the adventuress. Do not desire her beauty in your heart, and do not let her capture you with her eyelashes; for a harlot may be hired for a loaf of bread, but an adulteress stalks a man's very life. Can a man carry fire in his bosom and his clothes not be burned? Or can one walk upon hot coals and his feet not be scorched? So is he who goes in to his neighbor's wife; none who touches her will go unpunished. Do not men despise a thief if he steals to satisfy his appetite when he is hungry? And if he is caught, he will pay sevenfold; he will give all the goods of his house. He who commits adultery has no sense; he who does it destroys himself. Wounds and dishonor will he get, and his disgrace will not be wiped away. For jealousy makes a man furious, and he will not spare when he takes revenge. He will accept no compensation, nor be appeased though you multiply gifts. My son, keep my words and treasure up my commandments with you.

Dr. Benoit's "Joy of Pet Ownership"
by gwilson on Oct.18, 2013, under Uncategorized
Each year when Dr. Benoit teaches our freshman BIMS course on Unicellular Organisms, students leave with more than just knowledge and a grade….they take with them a pet.
In BIMS 1101 Unicellular Organisms Lab, Dr. Benoit takes students through an amazing tour of the unseen world, one filled with bacteria and protozoa and algae and yeast. The course teaches basic cell biology and the diversity that exists among the smallest forms of life. As a way of demonstrating the metabolic diversity of bacteria, all students create Winogradsky columns by filling Falcon flasks with diatomaceous earth, a variety of chemicals, and some water drawn from pond sludge (see photo). These are the students' pets, cared for and tended to by the students. Dr. B encourages students to drop by the lab regularly to visit their pets and to enjoy their journey to maturation. At the end of the semester, students are free to take them home where they can continue to mature and change for many years.
The preparation begins white usually, but chemical changes caused by a variety of bacterial turn the many minerals present into a technicolor show. A good balance of chemicals and diversity of bacteria can result in reds and greens and blacks and yellows and purples as one species of bacteria after another transforms the minerals into colorful compounds. It is the microbial equivalent of a garden filled with diverse plants.
As educational as the Winogradsky column is, the fun take on the project by Dr. Benoit demonstrates an important component of science at McMurry – if it isn't fun, something is wrong!

I am looking for the lure posted by "Jason" on the Kayak Redfish subject.
Here is the actual photo
http://www.fishingtackleunlimited.com/m ... red2-1.jpg
Well, I can't post a URL yet.
It is the one with a guy in a red kayak with a camo hat and a great looking redfish.
I posted in a different forum (FishingTexasOnline) and have gotten replies that it could be a Yum Money Minnow or a Storm Wild Eye Pro Paddle Tail or even something called a Mad Mullet that B&L used to make.
I have to know, that looks like a pretty sweet swimbait.

After Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban said he'd contemplate drafting Baylor center Brittney Griner, many questioned whether a women's college basketball star could transition to the NBA.
MORE: Griner reacts to Cuban's comments
UConn women's basketball coach Geno Auriemma called the idea "a sham," and Basketball Hall of Famer Nancy Lieberman told USA TODAY Sports that "(NBA players) are going to knock her on her ass."
Though Miami Heat forward Shane Battier said Thursday he isn't sure that Griner will make the breakthrough, the 11-year veteran added he had "no doubt" that a female player will make the leap.
"I don't know if it's Griner or if it's someone who is 5 years old right now," Battier told ESPN.com. "But we'll see it. It'll happen in our lifetime. Just the law of averages."
Battier believes Griner could have one thing working against her in a potential transition: her position. A female perimeter player might fare better than one forced to play in the post, Battier added.
"Look, I'm 6-foot-8, 220 pounds and I guard [Indiana Pacers power forward] David West and [Chicago Bulls power forward] Carlos Boozer," Battier said. "I lift weights twice a week and I think I'm strong as a 34-year-old man. And I struggle with those guys."
