You Know What I Hate?!
Cam Davie
October 10 2011 12:59PM
He's angry and so am I.
Today is the debut of a new weekly feature of me venting and raging on stupid crap happening with the Canucks, their fans and around the NHL. Two things about feature... 1) It will appear (hopefully) every Monday, and 2) It is blatantly ripped off from a stand-up bit from comedian Craig Anton. On either point, I make no apologies. Enjoy. Or don't.
In this week's debut, I rage on icing rules, Cooke apologists and everyone's "favourite" CBC employee.
You know what I hate?! Touch-up icing. I despise it. Every time i see two 200 lb freight trains screaming towards the same point, I tense up and cringe. Because you know it's coming. One of these days, your favourite player is going to snap his leg... Or his neck. As a parent with a kid in hockey, it's pretty easy to see how much safer no-touch icing is. And we see it at every IIHF hockey game. It's time to get rid of this ridiculous rule. And I'm not talking about changing it in favour of any hybrid icing rule. No. Put in no-touch icing now. Right now. Immediately. Save some careers.
You know what I hate?! Morons who defended Matt Cooke when he got smacked in the coconut by Cory Sarich in the Penguins game against the Flames on Saturday. He has spent his career trying to end his fellow NHLPA members' careers without cheap, inexcusable, dangerous malicious hits. When a borderline objectionable hit gets planted on him, the apologists came out saying, "It's disgusting to wish injury on someone!". There's a difference between wishing injury on someone and hoping someone tastes their own bullsh*t head-targeting elbow-throwing medicine. As our boy MLSE said on Twitter following the Sarich hit, "Live by the filthy, unconscionable hit, die by the filthy, unconscionable hit."
You know what I hate?! One Canucks game in eight days. That's retarded. And then they play 3 games in four days, including back-to-back games in Philadelphia then Detroit. So you know what ELSE I hate?! NHL schedule makers! IDIOTS!! C'mon you jackasses, sort this garbage out. You would think that that a Stanley Cup finalist would be showcased a little more often in the first two weeks of the regular season than 1 game in 8 days. But then again... You know who everyone else hates?! The Vancouver Canucks. #embracethehate
You know what I hate?! LOSER POINTS. I hate this so much... it-it- the f - it -flam - flames. Flames, on the side of my face, breathing-breathl- heaving breaths. Heaving breaths... Heathing... (and if you know this reference, then I love you.) I do not understand why the NHL insists on keeping this stupid system. It makes the standings harder to figure out and it is completely different than EVERY OTHER MAJOR SPORT IN NORTH AMERICA. You want more people to follow your game? Give them standings that they can understand. Change these stupid rules to Wins and Losses. Then you don't have to count points. Just wins and games-back. Simple.
You know who I hate?! DONALD S. CHERRY. Holy cow. What a buffoon. He calls out former fighters who step up for their fallen brethren. What an archaic, ignorable ass. It's time for the CBC to put him out to pasture. He does not represent the views of most Canadians. Or hockey fans. Or smart people. His tired schtick has gone from being that of your crazy, irreverent uncle to that of your insane grandpa who's ready to be checked into an old-folks home because he needs 24-hour supervision. I'm done with him.
October 10 2011, 01:09PM
It's a shame your new Andy Rooney feature is only weekly instead of daily!
I agree with you everyone hate the Canucks...nothing but a bunch of cheap shot divers.
October 10 2011, 09:25PM
everyone does hate canucks
im looking forward to sedin facewash again
October 10 2011, 10:00PM
I've said it before, I'll say it again. Rugby benefited greatly when it brought in the bonus points system. Reward teams for positive play.

This Gantry 8" Flared Vase illustrates the painstaking expert craftsmanship which has made Waterford synonymous with elite fine crystal for generations. It makes a dramatic statement on any shelf or mantle.
The House of Waterford Crystal, located on The Mall in Waterford City, Ireland is a living testament to the original Waterford Glass House. Opened in 2010, this living 'manufactory' keeps the traditions of mouth blowing, hand finishing, sculpting, and engraving alive. It is the tremendous skills of the artisans employed here that make the creation of these exceptional pieces possible today.
Additional Information:
Each measures 8"H x 5-1/2"W. 3" base. Made of crystal. For indoor display. Made in Ireland.
Care Instructions:
Wash your fine crystal and glassware by hand in moderately hot water with a mild lemon detergent and 1/4 cup ammonia (to prevent spotting). Rinse in clean water and air dry on a rack. Cleaning the crystal in an automatic dishwasher may cause the crystal to lose brilliance; we recommend you avoid this. Do not clean your fine crystal and glassware with scouring pads or abrasive cleaners. Always store your stemware upright to help prevent chipping.

Fruit Flies From Hell
Common in fact.
Smooth yellow.
Medium sized.
They weren't designer bananas. Nothing special. Not even organic. Perfect for a morning nosh.
They were put in the pantry shelf with baby tomatoes, sweet potatoes, onion, and citrus fruits.
They were forgotten.
When I went to make banana bread upon remembering them and seeing their now brown exterior, I found they were moving.
Yes, my friends, moving.
I peeled back their leathery skins and found maggots, worms, weevils, what ever in God's name they are.
I threw them out and thought that's that.
They must have matured elsewhere because one week later, they buzz around our breakfast juice.
They love, love, love my Cabernet. I left out my wine last night and found 20 drowned little fly baby carcasses.
I've thrown out tomatoes. Dumped all citrus and still they persist.
Those little fuckers!
Fruit flies are the gift that keep on giving. You know like a bad fart that lingers when your husband wafts the sheets. Oh, better yet the letter that came home, the 2nd this month, that said there are lice in Li'l Man's 1st grade class.
My friends, I am about to bring out the big guns. I have never had fruit flies in all my 12 years of domestic married life.
I am thinking napalm.
I prefer organic home remedies like beer for snails, but they seem to like my Cab and damned if I'm giving them my Cab.
I killed all the little fackers. Read how here.

super cute and so comfy!
"These are NOT shoes I'd ordinarily even look at, but for some reason I did, and I'm so glad! I needed a shoe for a particular outfit, and the white ones worked out perfectly. I wore them with a silk a-line dress and they gave it a kind of retro look, somewhat Twiggy-ish. I work in high-end fashion retail and must have stylish yet comfy shoes. These were good for about 7 hours on my feet without a break, which is fantastic. I wore them again with relaxed fit tapered pants and again, they were perfect. I'm debating getting the brown. LOVE them!"

Love 'em. Review of Brown and White
"These are the perfect wedge. This review is for the brown shoe. How I came to this conclusion:1. They are comfy2. They aren't "chunky"3. They are high without being considered "too much", trashy, or tacky in any situation. These can go to church, the museum, class, or even for drinks. They are understated.4. They loop detail in the center of the shoe is a metalic bronze, it adds a bit of glam but is still an understated shoe!5. They can be labeled a nude colored sandle if you have a medium or tan complexion (so hard to find!).I loved these so much, I bought the white as well. They look great on but are a bit more flashy than the brown pair. The loop detail is a metalic light pink.I wasn't sure if they were too flashy for my geographical location (yes, it matters). My boyfriend said they were "too much" and didn't know what they wanted to be. They are even a bit '80s.I think they would work in Florida, Texas, or Arizona but they look a bit gaudy for the North East, if you know what I mean."

Virgin Blue Update Regarding Melbourne Airport22/02/2005
Virgin Blue Airlines continues to work around the clock to move those Guests who have been affected by the delays caused by the closure of Melbourne Airport's South Terminal for the majority of yesterday.
Flights are operating in and out of the South Terminal with some delays and cancellations. 20 flights have been cancelled across the network (out of the overall 300+ flights that Virgin Blue operates daily). Delays are primarily due to crew and aircraft being displaced across the country after the South Terminal closure yesterday. 60% of Virgin Blue's route schedule is operating normally today while the remaining 40% of flights are being managed by the network operations team.
Virgin Blue has obtained the support of crew currently on leave to assist both on the ground and in the air as well as the Guest Contact Centre and Operations Centre.
Virgin Blue spokesperson Amanda Bolger said, "Our priority first and foremost is to move as many Guests as quickly as possible today using whatever means we can. That includes using our own airline, seats on other airlines as well as investigating charter opportunities."
"We are doing all we can to rectify a problem not of our making and while yesterday was beyond our control, our people have worked through the night and today to get the network back on track. A large number of Guests affected yesterday have been accommodated on flights today with us or other carriers and our remaining Guests are expected to get to their destination later today. "
In light of the circumstances, Virgin Blue has made an exception to its delay policy and, in recognition of the difficulties experienced by up to 13,000 Guests, will incur the additional costs associated with:
Offering a full cash refund OR flight credit option to those Virgin Blue Guests who independently found alternative means of travel on another airline or mode of transportation
Offering a free flight to ALL Virgin Blue Guests that were seriously disrupted as a result of Melbourne Airport's South Terminal Closure (the offer applies to delays over 4 hours and will be to the value of the amount they paid for their disrupted flight)
The immediate focus for Virgin Blue is on getting flights across the entire network back on schedule.
Once operations have returned to normal and all Guests have been looked after, a full investigation will be conducted into the circumstances surrounding the closure of the South Terminal at the nation's second largest airport.
Virgin Blue Guests wanting information regarding specific flights can contact the Guest Contact Centre on 13 6789

Virgin Blue Goes To Town⦠More Flights To Townsville11/03/2004
New Direct Flights Sydney-Townsville – $129* Special Fare
Virgin Blue will today launch a brand new service between Townsville and Sydney, bringing more low fares and more flight options to and from the popular North Queensland port.
The first flight from Sydney will land at Townsville Airport at 1.10pm where inaugural Guests will be greeted with champagne and cake by local tourism, business and airport authorities.
The new direct service to Sydney will compliment Virgin Blue's existing flight schedule between Townsville and Brisbane, which offers double daily flights on weekdays as well as three flights a day on peak travel days Friday and Sunday.
Virgin Blue will almost double frequency for services in to and out of Townsville when it launches an additional Brisbane-Townsville flight in April.
Virgin Blue's Chief Executive Brett Godfrey said, "Townsville was chosen as Virgin Blue's very first regional port. It is going from strength to strength and we are excited to be adding even more capacity into this key regional centre as well as providing more choice and convenience for those who have supported Virgin Blue with such enthusiasm over the past few years."
He added, "We've been keeping a close eye on our booking trends and we identified a large number of people using our connecting service between Sydney and Townsville via Brisbane and that prompted us to provide a more convenient direct alternative for Townsville travellers."
Virgin Blue has a special "wow" fare of $129* one way on the net on offer to celebrate the new route on sale until March 14 for travel between March 11 and April 6.
Standard fares start from $149* one-way on the net (Mid-Week Mini-Fare), with a Fully Flexible fare of $399* one way, 37% cheaper than the competition.
The new flight to Sydney will allow Townsville based business and leisure travellers to save time by flying direct to the New South Wales capital while at the same time, providing a more attractive option for tourists to visit Townsville and its surrounding delights such as Magnetic Island.
The direct Sydney flight also increases the travel options for interstate travellers by offering more convenient connections from Melbourne, Adelaide and Canberra to Townsville.
The local business and airport community have applauded Virgin Blue's decision to launch the direct Sydney flights.
Newly appointed Townsville Enterprise Limited Chief Executive Glenys Schuntner said, "We are delighted to welcome this new service which certainly indicates Virgin Blue's confidence in our destination. We are looking forward to working together to develop this important sector for both the tourism and business markets."
Cath Rule, Chief Executive Officer, Australian Airports (Townsville) Pty Limited said, "Virgin Blue has always been a strong supporter of Townsville and we certainly welcome the introduction of this direct service and extra capacity on this key route."
* All fares are for flights booked on the Internet. $10 more by phone. Mid-Week Mini-Fares are for travel on Tuesday and Wednesday. Fares are subject to availability and may not be available on all flights or peak days. The $129 sale fare is on sale today until March 14 2004 and is for travel between today and April 6.

"These are really cute shoes. They are trendy without being too over the top. The trim color is kind of a neon peachy orange, hard to explain, but looks good with a range of oranges. I gave it 4 stars only because I am a lover of real leather and the orange trim is a leather look that is a little cheaper looking than leather in appearance. I do plan to wear these quite a bit... Very nice!"

Giles Bettison developed an interest in fused mosaic glass while a student at the Canberra School of Art, under the tutelage of Klaus Moje. He used the technique as a basis for a series of small vessel forms and is now recognised as Australia's most accomplished practitioner in this form of hot glass.
Bettison assembles sheets of glass mosaic, comprising tiles cut from fused, multicoloured glass rods, or 'canes'. This ancient technique, known as murrini, was perfected in Italy. The mosaic sheet is fused in the kiln, then rolled into a cylinder, blown and hot-worked, finally the surface is wheel-polished.
Bettison's organisation of structure and surface design shows influences as diverse as pieced African weaving and the geometric planting and ploughing of the rural landscape.

(Death may be drug related)….The man died in El Centro Wednesday night.
65-year-old Arnulfo Velasquez from Calexico was pronounced dead at El Centro Regional Medical Center. Deputy Coroner Steven Green said the man had a medical history, but his family said he also was a long time drug user. Green said a drug over-dose is suspected as the cause of death, but an autopsy will be performed to determine the actual cause. If toxicological tests are needed, it could be six to eight weeks before a cause is determined.

"By The Power of Clawthorn!" A Jets Fantasy Guide
Ross Smith
August 20 2013 10:44AM
(Illustration by Barret Chapman)
Beating the summer heat with a trip to the corner store for a taste of that magical elixir known as a "Slurpee" offered me a joyous encounter with a rack of vintage blogs known as "Magazines". There I spied my favorite wastes of paper ever (no, not that, Perv-o's, this is a family store): The Fantasy Hockey Guides! Was it that time of year already? "Squee!" I was giddy with anticipation for this year's rankings. Their annual dose of wit and wisdom has never failed to lead me to mighty mediocrity in my keeper league (oh, this shoddy workman will blame the tools, people!) but, I realize, they can only provide limited insight.
How do you go about selecting players for much, much deeper leagues? Leagues where you will need to explore the depths of places like The Black Dragon Valley or the Mountains of Phantasmagore? Who has your back in an Orc brawl or at the Coven of Malevolent Wizards' Summer Solstice Chili Cook-off? We all know which of our winsome Jets are going to provide the best bang for buck in our Fantasy League but what of the Fantasy Fantasy League? This is a trickier proposition and several of the nascent Jets may prove worthy allies or wily adversaries during your weekly head-to-head's this season. Let's assess some of the notable selections to draft or avoid for the 2013/14 campaign! And may Clawthorn, God of Silk-Lined Codpieces, watch over you on the battlefield.
Andrew Ladd (AKA Valor The Windy, Captain of Souls, Retainer of Past Victories)
Speed: 8
Strength: 7
Wisdom: 7
Health: 6
Known Companions: Storm The Berserker, Pit-Pat The Fool, Patrick Kane
Ladd is a Class 27 Swordsman and Class 19 Smithy – not too shabby! In a 2012 campaign riddled with impetuous assaults on Weather Nymphs and Fire Gibbons (whose tactical concept was that, Claude Noel?!) Ladd was outstanding both in attacks and in defense of his own realm. Look for another strong year from the truehearted Captain!
Evander Kane (AKA Cain, Cane, Kayne The Eviscerator: Holder of Benjamins)
Hat size: 7-1/8
Breath: Minty
Viscosity: 6
Kane is much feared in magic-based battles. His command of the dark arts is unrivaled in Winnipeg as a Class 45 Warlock. That can only be interpreted as one thing: bad-ass. He will melt your spleen and cast you into a cruel parallel universe where only Glenn Healy is there to talk to, all in one spell! Seriously, if you haven't drafted him then stay alert when you have to face him – he will cross-check your psyche. (Secret Weakness: YouTube videos of narcoleptic dogs. If you can deploy these against him early in the battle, he will be a non-factor for the rest of the melee. He loves those sad, little dogs!)Blake Wheeler (AKA Wheels The Very Handsome Boy, Blake The Rake, Susan)
Ladybugs at the ladybug picnic: 12
Gel: Garnier Fructis
Blake is a solid .252 at the plate this season with 29 home runs and 72 RBI's! A must-start in any format! He is also a werewolf.Olli Jokinen (AKA The Spectre, Joki Bear, Finn the Overpaid)
Wealth: 8
Charm: 3
Jump Street: 21
Opacity: 17
Your best bet here is to try and trade him for a bag of farts. That sounds silly but when you face the Two-Eyed Cyclops of Frack Bog, you'll be glad you heeded my advice.
Dustin Byfuglien (AKA Dustin Diamond The Screech, Muffintop, Lipitor: Eater of Beef)
Speed: 8Strength: 10
Puck Handling: 8 (as noted by Faerie King, Puck, in the Ancient Faerie Scrolls of Turpitude)
Mighty hero of the tundra, born and raised in the tiny hamlet of Calamitous Bluffs, Dustin has the speed and strength of a water buffalo and the cunning of a snow cheetah! Someone please buy him Cross-Fit for Christmas. (Secret health tip: Byfuglien actually gains hit points for eating at Wendy's! Something to keep in mind for long road campaigns.)Tobias Enstrom (AKA Robaxacet The Achy, The Mugger's Mark, Plenty of Upside)
Inches: 9
Rigel: 7
Ninja: 3, The Domination
Check: 1…2… Sibilance…
Enstrom had a rough go last year, what with being victimized by his traitorous countrymen during the Frost Giant Charity Flaying in Huntsland, Earth Prime. Who could have predicted such treachery? His time-shifting abilities were never going to be protection enough. This year, with a proper Spell of Parsimony in his pocket, his plus-minus should be pretty sweet.
Jacob Trouba (AKA Jacob Tuba… heheh, his name sounds like tuba...)
Assets: unknownPlay him at your own peril. Despite much promise he is untested in top-level campaigns. His name does sound like "tuba" though and that is hilarious to minotaurs.
Ondrej Pavelec (AKA Ond-Red Light Pavelec, Ondrej The Limber, Cap-Hit The Albatross)
Humidity: 7
Flexibility: 6
Fantastic: 4
Queen: 2 (So good! Ogre Battle? Come on, that's a rawwwk song!!)
He's a bit of a sieve, isn't he? Forget it. Who wants to come over and listen to Queen 2 with me? Brain May shreds like a combine, babies!
Al Montoya
(What's an Al Montoya…?)
Fellow gamers, this is going to be a challenging and unpredictable campaign. The Mages are conspiring and the Sirens of Timidor are calling, albeit meekly. Will there be any Jets in your fellowship? I think there's room for a few, especially if Scheifele The Narrow-Hipped should blossom into the warrior of destiny he's, uh… destined to be. Good luck out there this year, on sea or or on land, Earth Prime or Earths 2 through 8. No one said freedom from tyranny and the ceaseless gratitude of tavern wenches was easily won. The road to the Clawthorn Cup starts here, my brave warriors! For glory, honour and the good people of Calamitous Bluffs: Chaaaaarge!!!

This is the best. I woke up half my hostel in Naples laughing at this.
I want to know how "Bugbear" Peluso would match up in the Fantasy Fantasy League, since he's terrible in reality.

I figure I'll cheer for the new Ottawa franchise. They get two QBs and the Bombers have 1/2 of one. MacPherson must be kicking himself now. The Bombers having crappy RBs (better than Hamilton, Mtl), crappy receivers (better than BC, now Cgy), and only better QB depth than Edm. I don't know why we didn't release Jokinen. He was maybe the worst FW in the NHL last year. I like Det, Chi, Wpg. I'll consider dropping Wpg after this year. Maybe get some cable and pick a jr team in 2014. SIgning those big 3 long-term contracts ensured the team will be competitive enough over the next 4 years, but with the cap limit reached....Grabovski just signed for $3M, clutch playoff Penner for $2M, Hainsey won't go for $4M...we need the kids to play good for FW depth. The kids in the playoffs won't win a playoff round, and this team could've easily contended for a Cup this yr. I'd come back to the Jest when the kids are ready after the last wicked draft. Did we get the #1 18 yr old prospect in the SWedish Jr league with the last pick? He will be one of their 10 olympic candidates one day. I got Oduya on their 4th FW line and Edler on their third. Best pick ever. Need better TV coverage of olympic crappier games. Should be rebroadcast on main network middle of night if necessary.

Episodes: 24
Status: Finished
Producers: TMS Entertainment
Genres: Action, Martial Arts, Samurai, Sci-Fi
Spoiler!The Examurai Sengoku anime production depicts the members of the EXILE group as futuristic samurai that are transported back in time to Japan's sengoku (warring states) period. The anime character renditions of the EXILE members were designed by manga creator Hiroshi Takahashi (Crows, Worst).
To be completely honest this anime isn't something which will extremely dumbfound you, except if you adore samurai related anime(s). Another mediocre realization, with shallow story, ordinary, yet decent animation. Which attracted me to it, is the design of characters, which is so vivid - ostentatious, and done by no one other than Hiroshi Takahashi ( Crows / Worst ). Due to him each character looks like an amalgamation of samurai and gangster - which is simply put - boss. Do give this anime a try, especially if you are a fan of Hiroshi.

This blog has long kvetched about the tendency to use terms like standards (what proficiencies kids should be able to demonstrate) and curriculum (the material that gets taught in class) interchangably. Michael Goldstein, founder of Boston's MATCH school observes that education lacks a common vocabulary, which makes life harder for teachers. "They get bombarded all the time with new products, websites, software that all claim they can get students to 'deeper learning.' But without a common understanding of what actually qualifies, it's hard to know if X even purports to get your kids where you want them to go," he writes.
Goldstein compares education to medicine where there is broad agreement, for example, on the five stages of cancer–and that makes it easier for for medical professionals and patients to work together. "When scientists come up with treatments," he notes, "they often find them to be effective for cancers only in certain stages. So when they tell doctors: 'treatment only effective for X cancer in stage two,' everybody knows what that means."
In education, no such common vocabulary exists.
"Our sector talks a lot of "Deeper Learning." Or "Higher-Order Skills."
"But what does that mean? There's not a commonly-accepted terminology or taxonomy. Instead, there are tons of competing terms and ladders.
"In math, for example, here's language that the US Gov't uses for the NAEP test. Low, middle, and high complexity. I suppose they might characterize the "high" as "deeper learning."
"Here's Costa's approach, a different 3 levels. Text explicit, text implicit, and activate prior knowledge. Again, perhaps the last is "deeper learning."
"Here's another take, more general than math-specific, from Hewlett.
"A software like MathScore has its own complexity ratings.
"And so on. You could find 10 more in 10 minutes of Googling.
Goldstein posts a question from Massachusetts' MCAS tests, a perimeter question that shows four different rectangles and asks, "Which of these has a perimeter of 12 feet?"
"First you need to know what perimeter means. Second you need to know you that you need to fill in the "missing sides." Third you need to know what to fill in, because you understand "rectangle." Finally you need to add those 4 numbers. If you only understand 3 of the 4 ideas, you'll get the question wrong.
"Does this question probe "deeper learning" for a 3rd grader? Who the heck knows?
If this strikes you as mere semantics, think again. A lack of an agreed vocabulary — what is a "basic skill?" What is "higher order thinking?" — is not merely irritating, it can lead to bad practice and misplaced priorities. A third-grade teacher looking to remediate a lack of basic skills might seek help from a software product but she would have "no real idea on how 'deep' they go, or how 'shallow' they start," Goldstein notes. "No common language for 'Depth' or 'Complexity.'"
I would add that the problem is more fundamental than that. If a teacher is told "teach higher-order thinking" she might incorrectly assume that time spent on basic knowledge, math skills or fluency is a waste of time. Or, in the worst case scenario, that reading comprehension or higher order thinking can be directly taught.
In reality, without the basic skills and knowledge firmly in place, there's no such thing as higher order anything and never will be. Yet terms like "higher order thinking" and "complexity" are held up as the gold standard we should be teaching toward. Basic knowledge and prerequisite skills are the unlovely companions of "drill and kill" rather than, say, "fluency" or "automaticity." Mischief and miplaced priorities are the inevitable result.
A common vocabulary of diagnosis and treatment would help.

Holy Tuesday
Document Actions
April 30
Today we bring to mind the parable of the ten virgins, which our Saviour related as He was coming to His Passion. This parable teaches us that the accomplishment of the great work of virginity should not make us careless in other matters, especially in almsgiving, wherewith the lamp of virginity is made radiant. Furthermore, it teaches us that we should not be remiss about the end of our life, but should be prepared for it at every moment, like the wise virgins, so that we may meet the Bridegroom, lest He come suddenly and the doors of the heavenly bridechamber be shut, and we also, like the foolish virgins, hear that dread sentence: "Amen, I say unto you, I know you not" (Matt. 25:1-13).
Apolytikion of Holy Tuesday in the Plagal of the Fourth Tone
See! The Bridegroom sets forth in the dead of night. And blessed is that servant whom he shall find on watch; unworthy the one he shall come upon lazing. See to it, soul, that sleep does not overtake you, lest you be given up to death and be shut out of the kingdom. Bestir yourself, then, and sing out: "Holy, holy, holy are You, our God; through the prayers of the Forerunner, save us."
Kontakion of Holy Tuesday in the Second Tone
Soul, mindful of your final hour, and dreading the fate of the fig tree, cultivate with diligence the talent you were given. Endure, be vigilant, and say: "May we not be shut out of the bridal chamber!"

The grazing fee for the 2002 grazing year on Western public lands administered by the Bureau of Land Management will be $1.43 per animal unit month. The formula used for calculating the fee was established by Congress in the 1978 Public Rangelands Improvement Act and continues under a Presidential Executive Order issued in 1986.
An AUM is the amount of forage needed to sustain one cow and her calf, one horse, or five sheep or goats for a month.
BLM Director Kathleen Clarke said, "The $1.43 per AUM grazing fee applies to lands in the West administered by the BLM and to national forests and national grasslands administered by the Forest Service. Under the Federal Land Policy and Management Act, by which the BLM fulfills its multiple use mandate, grazing is a recognized and appropriate use of the public lands."
The annually adjusted grazing fee, effective March 1, 2002 through Feb. 28, 2003, is computed by using a 1966 base value of $1.23 per AUM for livestock grazing on public lands in Western States. The figure is then adjusted according to three factors - current private grazing land lease rates, beef cattle prices and the cost of livestock production. Based on the formula, the 2002 fee is an increase of 8 cents from the 2001 level.
The BLM, an agency of the U.S. Department of the Interior, manages more land - 262 million surface acres - than any other Federal agency. Of this, about 164 million acres are permitted for livestock grazing. Most of the country's BLM-managed public land is located in 12 Western states, including Alaska. The agency, which has a budget of $1.8 billion and a workforce of 10,000 employees, also administers 700 million acres of sub-surface mineral estate throughout the nation. The BLM's "multiple use" mission is to sustain the health, diversity and productivity of the public lands for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations. The BLM accomplishes this by managing for such resources as outdoor recreation, livestock grazing, and energy and mineral development that helps meet the nation's energy needs, and by conserving natural, historical, cultural and other resources on the public lands.

Chemical DependencySanford Luverne Medical Center's Chemical Dependency Outpatient Program is designed to provide treatment for people with substance abuse or dependency problems. The program allows clients who can abstain from alcohol, drugs and gambling for short periods of time (1-3 days) without supervision, to participate in treatment without leaving their families, homes, and work or school responsibilities.
Chemical dependency is a disease that can involve psychological and/or physical dependence. The most common form of chemical dependency is alcoholism, but other drug addictions and even compulsive gambling are becoming prevalent in today's society.
Addiction can profoundly affect many areas of a person's life. Marital, health, family, financial, emotional, social, spiritual and work-related problems may directly relate to an individual's addiction.
Treatment consists of:
• Group therapy
• Education
• Individual counseling
• Family involvement
• Aftercare planning
• AA/NA participation
Family program
Chemical dependency is an illness that affects the family as well as the addicted person. Family sessions are encouraged and scheduled on an individual basis.
Continuing care
Continued support following the completion of treatment is an essential part of recovery. Sanford Hospital Luverne's Chemical Dependency Outpatient Program offers continuing care groups one evening per week to provide support for individuals who have completed the primary treatment.
Assessments / evaluations
Evaluation services are offered to individuals, employers, court systems, and Family Services. From the evaluation, the assessor determines an individual's level of chemical involvement and recommends appropriate treatment, if necessary. There is no obligation for treatment.
Information / education
Sanford Luverne Medical Center's Chemical Dependency staff is available to present informational/educational programs to community and civic organizations.
Most insurance companies provide benefits for chemical dependency evaluation and treatment. Financial arrangements can be made to cover the cost of all services provided.
All contacts are confidential and do not place anyone under any obligation for evaluation or treatment.
Admission information
For more information, or to schedule a confidential consultation, please call (507) 283-2321, ext. 246.

Trees up to ten feet can be purchased for $10 or $20 for trees above ten feet. According to Joe Harris, Public Affairs Officer for Dixie National Forest, "Receipts from this special forest program go back into a local fund that directly benefits recreation users on the Dixie National Forest".
Permits are available at all Dixie National Forest Offices (St. George, Cedar City, Panguitch, and Escalante) and through partner vendors: Ace Hardware – Cedar City; Boulder Exchange – Boulder; Clarke's Market – Tropic; Antimony Merc – Antimony; and Cottam's Canyon Country – Escalante.
Special regulations dictate what types of trees can be cut in different areas of the forest. "For instance", Harris adds, "on Cedar Mountain it is legal to cut white fir, subalpine fir, pinion, and juniper. On the Powell and Escalante Ranger Districts, all tree species except bristlecone pine can be taken".
While taking on the quest for the perfect tree Cedar City • Brian Head Tourism Bureau offers a few more suggestions for maximizing a trip into the woods and suggestions for enjoying the winter season. "Taking in winter views and vistas at every turn is a natural benefit, yet there are various winter activities to take advantage of in the Dixie National Forest. Popular activities include: cross country skiing, snowshoeing, and guided snowmobile excursions at the higher elevations," Bonnie Char Hallman, Public Relations Specialist for Cedar City • Brian Head Tourism Bureau advises.
For suggestions on where to cut a tree, visit your local Forest Service office or call (435) 865-3700. For more activity ideas, gear rental, lodging deals, more on area attractions and trip planning information visit: www.ScenicSouthernUtah.com. For an A-Z Guide for winter activities and attractions stop in at the Iron County Visitor Center (581 North Main Street, Cedar City).

Over the years, Honda's small-displacement four-stroke off-road bikes have grown to legendary status among riding enthusiasts from young to old, novice to experts. Enjoyed by beginners who learned to ride on the CRF80F, to world-class racers who have used the CRF100F to hone their racecraft, Honda's little four-strokes have racked up a reputation for being extremely fun and durable.
So if you're going to replace these legendary machines, you'd better offer something that's head-and-shoulders better. And that's exactly what Honda has done with the all-new CRF125F and CRF125F Big Wheel.
Subhead: A big difference
In 2013 the CRF110F replaced Honda's popular CRF70F within the brand's family of fun, entry-level automatic-clutch off-road bikes. Sized like the CRF70F yet offering a powerplant that is much more accommodating and enjoyable to use, the CRF110F immediately found favor with young riders. Now the new 2014 CRF125F enters the lineup with two wheel sizes to replace the CRF80F and CRF100F. The CRF125F sports a seat height identical to that of the CFR80F and just a pinch less wheelbase, while the CRF125F Big Wheel matches the seat height of the CRF100F, again with a slightly shorter wheelbase.
Featuring an all-new 125cc single-cylinder SOHC four-stroke engine, the CRF125F and CRF125F Big Wheel provide an increase in displacement over the previous 80cc and 99cc powerplants. But more important than the raw displacement figures is the state of engine tuning in the new CRF125 that targets riders who are still gaining basic motorcycling skills with a manual clutch.
This new engine has been specifically tuned to produce far more low-end grunt right off idle than the smaller predecessors. That extra boost in off-idle torque makes it much easier for newbies to learn how to take off from a standing start and also quickly become skilled at the many other nuances of manual clutch operation and manual gear shifts. As would be expected, there's also plenty of pull throughout the powerband, enough to make both bikes a wonderful means to go exploring out in the hills and valleys. In addition, a convenient electric starter also helps make life easier out on the trail. Add a new rolling chassis with a sturdy frame, upgraded suspension components front and rear, and styling just like Honda's CRF motocross bikes, and you have two stellar replacements for two legendary machines—bikes that meet the needs of a wide range of riders.
Subhead: Small-bike engineering brilliance
The engine developed for the CRF125F and CRF125F Big Wheel is tuned specifically to make these bikes even more suited to entry-level riders. First, note the bore and stroke dimensions of 52.4mm x 57.9mm used to arrive at the 124.9cc displacement. That bore size is actually smaller than the 53.0mm bore that combined with a piston stroke of 45.0mm to give the CRF100F its 99cc displacement. Given such dimensions, the CRF125 is a decidedly long-stoke engine, a configuration typically used to create torquey motors.
To further emphasize torque production at low engine-speeds, the 125 engine features a torque cam that's tuned for reduced valve overlap and less valve lift compared to the previous-generation engines. These changes improve the air-intake fill rate at low engine speeds for even better low-end pull, with peak torque arriving at a very accessible 4500 rpm. Thanks to these key engine design elements, the CRF125F and CRF125F Big Wheel offer dramatically more manageable engine characteristics at low-to-midrange speeds, with easy-to-reach power that greatly benefits beginning riders. In short, when Honda engineers came up with the idea of incorporating a larger engine in these two bikes, their focus was endowing the CRF125F and CRF125F Big Wheel with a better power curve than before, to create bikes that give beginners and novice riders an easy-going learning experience.
Even more additions to the CRF125F and CRF125F Big Wheel make these bikes especially accommodating riding partners. An electric starter allows for fast and easy starts—a big plus for newbies. The engine still retains a kickstart mechanism, and a newly configured kickstart lever is tucked in tightly to avoid the rider's right leg. Also, the drive-sprocket cover, which was integrated into the ACG cover of the 80 and 100, is now a separate piece to facilitate access when changing the countershaft sprocket. In addition, the new 125 engine is equipped with a reusable foam air filter similar to the style used on the CRF450R, one that increases the volume of intake air for better power. A new airbox design—oriented along the long axis of the bike—saves weight, increases airflow and also makes room for the compact battery needed for the electric starter, while also keeping seat height down to manageable levels. Thanks to the extra-wide powerband, a four-speed gearbox matches up well with the 125 engine, and the manual clutch is both durable and smooth to engage.
Subhead: An all-new rolling chassis
A brand-new steel diamond-backbone frame gives the CRF125F and CRF125F Big Wheel chassis an excellent balance of rigidity, strength and durability well suited to beginning riders. A bigger, 31mm telescopic fork—the 80 and 100 used 27mm forks—features stiffer springs and a 5.5-inch stroke for the CRF125F, with 5.9 inches of travel for the CRF125F Big Wheel. The new Pro-Link single-shock rear suspension incorporates a more sophisticated damper with a 32mm-diameter piston, and separate oil/gas pressurization chambers to reduce emulsification for more consistent damping action. This high-quality suspension means bump absorption, ride quality and tracking are much improved. A steel swingarm works through Honda's Pro-Link® system, and needle bearings have been used throughout to reduce friction and promote smooth rear-wheel travel. A 220mm front hydraulic disc brake gives both CRFs a whole new level of stopping power and consistency over the front drum brakes used previously, and the brake lever can be adjusted to fit various hand sizes. In back, the 95mm drum rear brake further aids stopping power.
Styled after the flagship Honda CRF450R and the championship-winning CRF250R, the CRF125F and CRF125F Big Wheel slot right between the CRF110F and CRF150F to offer more appropriately sized choices for up-and-coming riders who are learning the joys of off-road fun.

"Savannah, Georgia has always been a city for romantics. And the crown jewel of this gracious southern city epitomizes all that is the Old South. Forsyth Park remains one of the most visually abundant locales in all of Savannah. In my painting, Savannah Romance, I've paid homage to the majestic Forsyth Fountain. I've also included an abundance of color - dogwood and mimosa trees vie for attention with resplendent southern magnolias and lush azaleas. Whether you've been to Savannah, or simply long to visit, may Savannah Romance truly bring out the dreamer's heart in all of us." - Artist Thomas Kinkade

Cons: Treble extension, Stock cable,more dependent than ER-4S on amp type.
Introduction and initial impressions: Bought them over a month or 2 back for the lols and now they are my regular for my daily commute. I have used them with a fairly wide variety of audio devices, Iphone 3g(Objective 2,FiiO E6 and E11), Sony Z series(briefly), Ipod touch 4g, Sony BDP-S380(w O2), Creative X-Fi HD(O2). Initially, I thought the TF10s were terrible, sound felt unnatural straight from the Idevices and it was too noisy with the E11. Hence, this review will discuss the TF10s mainly with the O2, Fiio E6 and Sony Z series. Accessories: The TF10s from Amazon comes in a super nice packaging and a fair bit of accessories.

Cherry Hills Country Club General Manager Kevin Hood, who saved a man's life earlier this year, recently received the Metropolitan Golf Writers Association's Mary Bea Porter Award.
The honor was bestowed at the MGWA's 62nd national awards dinner June 18 in Tarrytown, N.Y. Hood was honored for saving the life of Cherry Hills member John Moore. Responding to a "code blue" call on Jan. 29, Hood administered CPR to the 87-year-old Moore, who had fallen and hit his head, causing his tongue to block his airway.
Hood performed chest compressions and other life-saving measures. After a 10-day hospital stay, Moore recovered and returned to Cherry Hills to enjoy his club membership.
Colorado Avid Golfer magazine first reported the news.
The award is named for Mary Bea Porter, a former LPGA Tour pro who left the course in the middle of a qualifying round of the 1988 Samaritan Turquoise Classic in Phoenix to save a drowning 3-year-old boy at a home adjacent to a fairway.
Hood, 52, is in his eighth year at Cherry Hills. He was a starting linebacker at the University of Colorado and former pro football player with the Denver Gold of the USFL.
Cabela's carves niche in area
Cabela's, the giant outfitter of hunting, fishing and outdoor gear, will celebrate the official grand opening of its two Denver-area locations in Thornton and Lone Tree on Aug. 15.
Ribbon-cutting ceremonies hosted by Cabela's executives and special guests will begin at 10:45 a.m. at each location, and doors will open for business at 11 a.m. Opening day will begin a weekend-long celebration featuring outdoor celebrities, events for the entire family, giveaways and more.
The 110,000-square-foot Lone Tree store will be located in Douglas County in the new RidgeGate Commons development along Interstate 25 at RidgeGate Parkway.
The 90,000-square-foot Thornton store will be located in a new retail development along I-25 at 144th Ave.
Cabela's operates 44 stores across North America with plans to open an additional 16 over the next two years. More information at www.cabelas.com.
Peak 7 Vodka a big hit
Denver's own Peak 7 Vodka made a splash recently into the Colorado micro-spirits market. The seven-time distilled Peak 7, made at Mile High Distillery, comes onto the scene on the heels of a medal-winning performance at the 2013 Denver International Spirits Contest March 2 and 3.
Twelve prominent spirits professionals judged the double-blind tasting, and Peak 7 Vodka was awarded a bronze for best vodka.
"We are Colorado people who want to make a vodka that reflects the culture and vibrancy of Denver and the Rocky Mountains," said Peak 7 co-founder Dave Collier. "We think Colorado's the best place on earth you can live, and the best place on earth to make great vodka."
Peak 7 Vodka is currently available at Mondo Vino in Denver's Highland neighborhood, and at Fort Collins eateries Austin's American Grill, The Moot House and Enzio's Italian Kitchen.
"All things being equal, there are a lot of people who would rather buy locally made spirits," Peak 7 co-founder Desi Lopez said. "We're delivering that high-end quality that people have come to expect from some of the major European brands, but we're doing it with vodka made right here in our home city."
For more about Peak 7 Vodka, go to www.peak7vodka.com.
Vegan Pizza Day
Patxi's Pizza (pronounced PAH-cheese) celebrates Vegan Pizza Day with vegan selections available on June 29.
Patxi's Cherry Creek and Cherry Hills locations are offering a vegan pizza combo created by chef/partner Patxi Azpiroz, newly back from his food tour of the Amalfi Coast.
The vegan pizza combo is available as a whole pie or as a slice of the day in thin or stuffed crust, and feature Daiya vegan mozzarella, whole wheat crust, fresh spinach, crushed garlic and red onion.
The vegan slices of the day cost between $3.25 and $4.75 during lunch only and can be paired with a salad and soda for $9.99.
Both locations (3455 S. University Blvd., Englewood, and 185 Steele St., Denver) feature a $2 Lagunitas' IPA, a vegan beer.

Help film society go digital
The Denver Film Society wants to step over the line.
No, they don't want to start showing triple-X movies. Rather "the line" represents the $150,000 fundraising goal to buy four new digital film projectors — as Hollywood transitions to an all-digital format — for the DFS' Sie FilmCenter, The Ellie Caulkins (home of the Starz Denver Film Festival) and Red Rocks for the Film on the Rocks summer series. The total amount needed is $300,000 for the projectors for the Sie Film Center and Red Rocks Amphitheatre.
To spur cash donations, DFS honcho Britta "The Jesus" Erickson stars in a three-minute promotional video spoofing the John Turturro role in the 1998 cult film "The Big Lebowski" with supporting actors stand-up comedian Chuck Roy and Will Morris, a manager at the Sie FilmCenter.
Erickson, complete with bowling shoes and a hairnet, licks the red bowling ball and bowls what looks like a guaranteed gutter ball, but the scene is cut before the ball reaches its destination. Meanwhile Roy and Morris drink beer, look on and hurl comments such as "you crossed the line!" That's the whole idea.
The DFS donation website — www.kickstarter.com/projects/1728212872/secure-the-future-of-the-denver-film-society?ref=live — will remain live through June 28. With eight days to go, more than $84,000 was pledged.
If you donate a minimum of $25 and the DFS reaches its $150,000 goal, backers will be treated to a special screening of "The Big Lebowski" on July 31 at Red Rocks.
Die laughing
Dave Chappelle, Flight of the Conchords, Demetri Martin, Kristen Schaal, Hannibal Buress and others will headline FunnyorDie.com's Oddball Comedy & Curiosity Festival tour stop on Sept. 13 at Fiddler's Green Amphitheatre in Greenwood Village. The Colorado stop is one of 13 dates on the five-week comedy tour that starts Aug. 23 in Austin.
FunnyorDie.com was launched in 2007 by Will Ferrell and Adam McKay. It quickly became a hit thanks to the video "The Landlord," which starred McKay's 2-year-old daughter, Pearl, who plays a cursing landlord trying to get rent money from Ferrell's character.
"We always love to push the comedy boundaries at Funny or Die and this festival will do just that," said Dick Glover, CEO of Funny or Die. "It's the perfect blend of comedy and crazy that will for sure resonate with comedy fans looking for a one-of-a-kind experience."
Doors to the show open at 5 p.m. Tickets are on sale starting at 10 a.m. Friday at www.livenation.com or www.funnyordie.com/oddball. A video announcing the tour is live on Funny or Die at www.funnyordie.com/oddball. For VIP box seats call 303-837-1024.
Local laughs
Local jokester and Comedy Works regular Phil Palisoul snagged first place at the 2013 Great American Comedy Festival recently in Norfolk, Neb.
Palisoul, a Denver native, beat out eight other professional comedians in the finals to take home the top trophy. The Great American Comedy Festival is a four-day event honoring Norfolk native Johnny Carson, the greatest talk-show host ever. The event features some of the best amateur and professional comedians from across the country.
Ironically, Palisoul tried to get on the "Tonight Show with Johnny Carson" early in the Denver comedian's career.
"And when I wasn't able to get on the show, I was really disappointed. So, to be able to come here and do this well in a festival for his name and honor is ... it's overwhelming really," Palisoul told comedy.broadwayworld.com. Palisoul's prize was $1,000. Read more about Palisoul's victory at www.bit.ly/140oIjP.
Winners were picked by a panel of comedy club managers who judged the comedians on material, audience reaction and poise.
You can catch the Denver winner's act at 7:30 p.m. July 9 during Comedy Night @ West Woods at West Woods Bar & Grill, 6655 Quaker St., Arvada. Tickets are available at www.Eventbrite.com (keyword: West Woods). Tickets are $12 and there is a two-drink minimum for those who do not have dinner at the restaurant before the show.
The show is hosted by nationally touring comic Bob Meddles and is produced by Slap Happy Entertainment.
To market, to market
Spice up your Friday by visiting Denver's new definition of "market." The Skyline Market is a food experience that offers artisanal products, ready-to-eat food and a farm-fresh experience all in one.
Take a break from the office grind to enjoy a variety of lunch options, or pick up something for dinner and grab a few things for the weekend. Enjoy live music and a drink with friends or co-workers over happy hour or learn more about the food surrounding you from local chefs.
The Market, on Arapahoe between the 16th Street Mall and 15th Street, opened June 14 and continues every Friday from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. through Aug. 30. For more information, visit www.downtowndenver.com/Life/WhattoDo/SkylineMarket/tabid/617/Default.aspx.

By Ramon MartinezHuntington
Dear Editor,
I did ask the city of Huntington why they had not put curb, gutter and blacktop on the north end of 300 East for 272 feet. The drainage would be fine to the south to the existing drain on 300 East.
The city's reply was that because of the bad drainage problem on the north 272 feet they could not consider curb and gutter when these other issues needed to be addressed first.
Why fix half of a city block unless the full block could be done?
On the south end of 300 East, the city put 272 feet of blacktop, 90 feet wide on a subdivision. Why?
In the last two years, certain subdivisions have had curb and gutter plus blacktop while other sections in Huntington have not been given consideration to have curb, gutter and blacktop. These homes and property have been in existence longer than the subdivision.
Huntington City has put curb and gutter on vacant lots rather than where homes are.
Why is the city now putting 540 feet of curb and gutter on a one way street 25 feet wide on a subdivision.
Would someone correct me if I am wrong on these issues so that I might apologize for bad eye sight seeing this work done. I travel this area two-three times daily checking my children's property as they are not home and at work all day.
Some how I feel these projects could be a conflict of interest. I have been informed that the city will also blacktop that 25 foot wide roadway on the one-way street.

Hull City: a closer look at the Tigers new away kit by Aaron› 11 Aug 2014
Following their most successful season on the pitch, where they reached the FA Cup Final and qualified for Europe, the fans and players of Hull City will be looking forward to the new campaign with major levels of excitement. Now, with the reveal of theirnew 2014/15 Away Kit, that new season seems one step closer.
The new all-black kit will be worn by The Tigers on their travels in the Premier League, FA Cup and Capital One Cup. The lightweight black shirt has a shaped, dropped hem to offer improved fit, while mesh panel inserts on the under-arm offer breathability and enhanced movement.
On the rear of the shirt, eight laser cut ventilation holes will help to keep players and fans cool.
The collar of the shirt is probably the most striking part of the club's new away shirt. A double-layered crew neck collar with an amber soft finish inner rib adds a smart layer of detail to the kit, and also references the classic Hull City colours.
The shirt is completed by the club's new crest embroidered onto the chest, alongside the Umbro double diamond in white.
The black shorts keep things simple for the wearer, crafted to improve movement and comfort. Ventilated stretch insert seams in amber also increase breathability.
On the rear of the shorts, a shaped inseam gives a fitted shape, while the club crest and the Umbro double diamond complete the look.
The black socks are also packed with plenty of features to keep the wearer comfortable and able to concentrate on their game.
Double welt cuffs with an amber trim ensure the socks retain their smart fit, no matter what's happening on the pitch! All together it adds up to a kit that will do Hull City proud as they head into an exciting season.

I started to re read it and one thing I thought was funny was when Buggy first seen Luffy and threw him in that cage Luffy wasn't able to squeeze out of it, which he should be able to had done since he's rubber...
Also when Buggy tried to get Nami to shot the cannon at Luffy, he was screaming 'this can't be how I die!!' - compared to how all the other D's have died smiling I thought that was funny.

*Your pronation type is determined by the natural motion your feet apply throughout your running gait. When you pronate your foot rolls from either the outer edge, inner edge or not at all. If your foot rolls to the outer edge when you run, you are an underpronator, if it rolls to the inner edge you are a overpronator and if your foot doesn't roll at all you are a neutral or stable runner.
