Verona Flights
Which is the most romantic city in the world? Paris? No: Verona! The city of love, a destination for a kiss, the sweetest place on earth: Verona is the perfect destination for a vacation to love. But it's not all hearts and romantic love: the place adored by fiancés, the most famous destination for future married couples is also extremely popular with families and nature-lovers. Find out why and get to know Verona with our advice for tours for all tastes!
Romeo, Juliet and the Arena
One thing is certain: Verona means Shakespeare. And Romeo and Juliet. If you want to find the intense love story of the two lovers opposed by their respective families in the city, go and visit the homes of Romeo and Juliet. You mustn't miss the famous balcony from where Juliet looked down on her devoted suitor. So romantic!
At this point you already know where your steps will take you: do you remember how the story of Juliet Capulet and Romeo Montague ended? This is where Juliet's tomb appears: to conclude the tour dedicated to one of the most famous and heart-rending love stories in history, you'll arrive at the former convent of San Francesco al Corso, where previous visitors to Juliet's tomb include Charles Dickens and Lord Byron.
It's just a short step from culture to history: here we are in one of Verona's most popular monuments, the Arena. It's a real magnet for tourists from all over the world, who fly from far and wide to get a glimpse of this ancient Roman amphitheater. Did you know? The Arena is the largest open-air opera house in the world and has housed the Opera Festival since 1913!
Green entertainment for visitors small and large
Whoever says that it's impossible to find nature in the city is greatly mistaken. Or has never been to Verona. When in Verona you should wear comfortable shoes and bring your bike with you: there are plenty of scenic routes and itineraries to discover. Ride along the banks of the Adige: discover the city center with its monuments, together with the North and South Adige Parks. Other green areas worth visiting include the Piazza Bra garden and the Verona Walls Park. However, if you're looking for a tour that is religious and green at the same time, try the walk of the 10 Capitelli (capitals): a relaxing walk through the countryside, to discover the East Verona hills and its most picturesque lanes.
It's great to share the fun. And flying on vacation with kids in tow is relaxing. Really! In Verona there are (green) spaces suitable for even the youngest visitors, so they can have fun while the adults enjoy a little relaxation. Take for example, Sigurtà Park, whose highlights, among its walks and unmissable views, include the Rose Avenue, the maze and the curious box trees. But the star attraction is the Tà farm, with so many cute animals including ducks, goats and hens.
Dinner's ready!
You can't neglect your stomach, and there is plenty to taste in Verona. Don't miss the city's typical dishes like peperita, stewed beef with "pearà" (pepper) sauce and paparèle coi fegadini, egg tagliatelle flavored with chicken giblets. You should also try the mixed stew with pearà, the sauce made with butter and pepper, among other ingredients.
Don't miss polenta, served as polenta and stockfish or polenta and osei. Whereas, the king of desserts is pandoro, created in Verona like its predecessor, Nadalin, another exquisite Christmas delicacy.

Ulster were made to work hard for their 13-6 victory over a spirited Zebre side in a dismal RaboDirect PRO12 meeting at Ravenhill.
Ulster were made to work very hard for their 13-6 victory over a spirited Zebre side in a dismal RaboDirect PRO12 clash at Ravenhill on Friday.
A try from Jared Payne and the trusty boot of Ruan Pienaar saw an untidy Ulster secure the points.
The Italian franchise competed valiantly for the majority of the game, and was somewhat unlucky not to push the hosts closer.
The visitors landed two penalties of their own through Luciano Orquera and Tommaso Iannone, but in the end a losing bonus-point was all they had to show for their efforts.
The game, played in windy and inclement conditions, got off to a scrappy start. It was Zebre who opened the scoring on four minutes when number ten Orquera slotted a well-taken penalty.
And it was the Italian minnows that made the superior start; running hard and direct at the home defence.
The visitors earned further reward for their graft on fifteen minutes when Iannone added to the tally to make it 0-6.
Zebre's early superiority was copper-fastened by a sterling scrummaging effort, with their forwards achieving some ascendancy at the set piece.
Ulster responded with urgency and purpose, but avoidable handling errors disrupted their tempo. It was a disjointed and flat performance from last year's beaten finalists in this section of the game, it has to be said. The Irish side showed little of the intensity and quality that has been the hallmark of recent efforts.
But Jared Payne settled the home nerves on 30 minutes when he danced through a disorganised Zebre defence to score. Pienaar converted to make it 7-6 to the Ravenhill outfit. By half=time, the home side were coming back into the game, but it was still a fairly uninspired effort nonetheless.
The second-half started with a noticeable increase in tempo and physicality from the hosts, but yet again errors tarnished their performance.
As throughout the first=half, the efficiency of the visitors' defensive effort was very evident.
Pienaar augmented his side's lead on 48 minutes when he chipped over a kick straight in front of the posts. The Irish province were now 10-6 in credit.
The home side were certainly having the lion's share of possession, but the Zebre defence was equal to the challenge.
But once again lapses in handling and concentration undermined the home effort. Indeed Ulster were unfortunate not to be punished for their profligacy when Zebre winger Leonardo Sarto nearly waded through a lacklustre Ulster defence.
Zebre were certainly still very dangerous in this phase of the encounter, but their performance was not aided by the withdrawal of their talisman and skipper Marco Bortolami.
The home side made a raft of substitutions in an effort to ignite their attacking game, but the telling breakthrough never really materialised to be honest. But Pienaar put some daylight between his side and their Italian visitors on 72 minutes to make it 13-6 to the Irish province.
Zebre struggled desperately to regain a foothold in the match, but the home side just about clung on to secure a necessary, but ugly win.
The Irishmen will certainly improve for the bigger challenges of next year. For a spirited Zebre side, this performance was much improved, and there can be no disputing that they thoroughly deserved their losing bonus-point.
For a depleted Ulster, however, the victory was all that mattered.

Between a Rock and a Hard Place
Thomas Drance
October 04 2011 09:50PM
Well there you have it - Ryan Kesler in the buff.
The photo is ultimately somewhat awkward in my honest opinion. I mean I get it, it's meant to channel those statues of Olympians from antiquity and such - but it just doesn't work for me. Don't get me wrong, Kesler's a really good looking fellow with marvelous abs, but something about the pose leaves me cold.
Maybe it's the way his member is hidden between his legs - and how I can't help but think of Buffalo Bill from Silence of the Lambs as a result. Or perhaps it's the fact that I could go for a little bit more butt-cheek? Is it the fact that I - a straight dude (allegedly) - spent ten minutes looking at the photo trying to figure out why I wasn't more impressed? Or maybe it's the meta pirate themed hello-kitty figurine in the background of the photo of the photo...
More likely, I'm just disappointed because I was hoping he'd be naked but on skates, preferably holding a pineapple to cover his junk. I was hoping for a silly action-shot photo, kind of like this classic:
But that's not what this is and that's fine. Regardless of my reaction to the shot - kudos to Kesler for having the balls to bear it all on national newsstands. I could never do it (granted I'm a tubby dude with more body hair than most house-hold pets).
Now to be a fly on the boards lucky enough to hear the chirps that Kesler will endure as a result of this image once he fully recovers from Hip-Labrum surgery and hits the ice over the next couple of weeks... I bet the likes of David Backes will have a field day.

Size up, and they will be good
"My feet are size 7 or 7.5, and ended up exchanging them for size 9 for these rain boots. Now they fit good. My calves are not thick, so I was surprised that they were extremely tight when I bought my regular size. Do they expect us to wear rain boots with no socks or pants on???"

Buoyancy–driven μPCR for DNA Amplification
Application ID: 17227
Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is one of the most effective methods in molecular biology, medical diagnostics, and biochemical engineering in amplifying a specific sequence of DNA. There has been a great interest in developing portable PCR-based lab-on-a-chip systems for point-of-care applications and one strategy that seems very promising is natural convection-based PCR.
This model studies the spatio-temporal variation of the concentrations of single-stranded (ssDNA), double-stranded (dsDNA) and primer-annealed (aDNA) DNA components. The driving mechanism for the fluid motion is the temperature-induced density differences that results in buoyancy flow. This approach eliminates the need for an external driving mechanism and the difference between the temperatures is sufficient to circulate the PCR mixture and amplify DNA in a closed loop.

More and more, scientists are able to think about ways to treat, slow, or perhaps even prevent AD at a number of possible points during the years-long continuum of disease progression. This continuum begins with the very earliest disease stage, even before symptoms are evident, moves to the first signs of memory and cognitive problems, then continues through the mild and moderate stages, and ends with the very late stages and the person's death.
As a result, researchers who focus on developing AD treatments think a lot about the importance of timing: When would it be best to intervene and what interventions are most appropriate at which time? These questions are similar to those asked with other conditions, such as heart disease. For example, a physician would prescribe different treatments for a patient who is seemingly healthy but who is at risk of having future heart disease than for a patient who is actually having a heart attack or whose heart disease is well established. The same decision process now can be applied to AD.
It has become clear that there probably is no single "magic bullet" that will, by itself, prevent or cure AD. Therefore, investigators are working to develop an array of options from which physicians can choose. For people who already have AD, the most immediate need is for treatments to control cognitive loss as well as problem behaviors, such as aggression, agitation, wandering, depression, sleep disturbances, hallucinations, and delusions. Safe medications that remain effective over time are needed to ease a broad range of symptoms and to improve a person's cognitive function and ability to carry out activities of daily living. Scientists also are investigating treatments that combine medications with lifestyle strategies to lessen the risk of developing cognitive decline or AD. Eventually, scientists hope to develop treatments that attack the earliest manifestations and underlying causes of AD, thereby slowing, delaying, or preventing the disease from progressing and damaging cognitive function and quality of life. Scientists use clinical trials [1] to pursue all these goals.
Today, NIA, other NIH institutes, and private industry are conducting many clinical trials of AD interventions (see "Participating in a Clinical Trial [2]" for more about clinical trials). These studies focus on several key areas:
In the mid-1970s, scientists discovered that levels of a neurotransmitter (a chemical that carries messages between neurons) called acetylcholine fell sharply in people with AD. This discovery was one of the first that linked AD with biochemical changes in the brain. Scientists found that acetylcholine is a critical player in the process of forming memories. It is used by neurons in the hippocampus and cerebral cortex, which are areas of the brain important to memory function. This discovery was an important initial breakthrough in the search for drugs to treat AD.
Four medications, tested in clinical trials, have been approved by the FDA for use in treating AD symptoms. Donepezil (Aricept®), rivastigmine (Exelon®), and galantamine (Razadyne®) are prescribed to treat mild to moderate AD symptoms. Donepezil was recently approved to treat severe AD as well. These drugs, known as cholinesterase inhibitors, act by stopping or slowing the action of acetylcholinesterase, an enzyme that breaks down acetylcholine. They help to maintain higher levels of acetylcholine in the brain. In some people, the drugs maintain abilities to carry out activities of daily living. They also may maintain some thinking, memory, or speaking skills, and can help with certain behavioral symptoms. However, they will not stop or reverse the underlying progression of AD and appear to help people only for months to a few years. The newest approved AD medication is memantine (Namenda®), which is prescribed to treat moderate to severe AD symptoms. This drug appears to work by regulating levels of glutamate, another neurotransmitter involved in memory function. Like the cholinesterase inhibitors, memantine will not stop or reverse AD.
"My father is often agitated. He paces up and down, wringing his hands and crying. I know he's sad or anxious about something, but he can't tell me what's bothering him. Asking him about it just makes him more upset."
"Last week, I visited Mom in the nursing home. We had a great time. Then yesterday, I went to see her again. When I walked into her room, she didn't know me. She thought I was her sister."
"My husband used to be such an easy going, calm person. Now, he suddenly lashes out at me and uses awful language. Last week, he got angry when our daughter and her family came over and we sat down to eat. I never know when it's going to happen. He's changed so much—it scares me sometimes."
"Gran hums all the time. She used to be a singer. Is she trying to relive her past?"
As AD begins to affect memory and mental abilities, it also begins to change a person's emotions and behaviors. Between 70 and 90 percent of people with AD eventually develop one or more behavioral symptoms. These symptoms include sleeplessness, wandering and pacing, aggression, agitation, anger, depression, and hallucinations and delusions. Some of these symptoms may become worse in the evening (a phenomenon called "sundowning") or during daily routines, especially bathing.
The damage of AD affects many different parts of the brain. This presents a problem because even small tasks require the brain to process signals that often involve more than one region of the brain. If this processing is disrupted because of AD, the person may not be able to do the task or may act in a strange or inappropriate way.
In light of our growing understanding about the effects of AD on the brain, behaviors like the ones highlighted above suddenly make sense or even provide a loving opportunity for caregivers:
For a man who can no longer distinguish between past and present, the anguish caused by the death of a parent may be as real today as it was many years before.
Sitting down to a family meal may produce intense anxiety when a person has no idea what to do with the knife and fork in front of him and all the conversation and activity feel overwhelming.
Memories of favorite songs from long ago resurface and provide a compelling link to a happy time in the past.
Behavioral symptoms, often emotional and upsetting, are one of the hardest aspects of the disease for families and other caregivers to deal with. They are also a visible sign of the terrible change that has taken place in the person with AD. Researchers are slowly learning more about why behavioral symptoms occur and are conducting clinical trials on new treatments—both drug and non-drug—to deal with difficult behaviors.
Coping with Behavioral Symptoms
For more information on how to deal with behavioral issues and symptoms, visit the caregiving section of NIA's Alzheimer's Disease Education and Referral (ADEAR) Center website at: www.nia.nih.gov/alzheimers/topics/caregiving [3].
AD research has developed to the point where scientists are looking beyond treating symptoms to addressing the underlying disease process. Slowing the progress of AD could do much to maintain the functioning of people with AD and reduce physical and emotional stress on caregivers. Delaying AD's effects also could help to postpone or prevent placement in an assisted living facility or nursing home, and reduce the financial costs of the disease. Preventing AD altogether is, of course, the ultimate long-term goal.
NIA and pharmaceutical companies support treatment clinical trials that are aimed at slowing, delaying, or preventing AD. The advances in our knowledge about the mechanisms and risk factors associated with AD have expanded the types of interventions under study. These trials are examining a host of possible interventions, including cardiovascular treatments, hormones, type 2 diabetes treatments, antioxidants, omega-3 fatty acids, immunization, cognitive training, and exercise, among others.
For example, NIA funds pilot trials to learn whether treating one or another aspect of type 2 diabetes will affect cognitive health and AD progression. A pilot trial is a relatively small clinical trial that collects initial data on the safety, effectiveness, and best dosage of a potential treatment. This information helps investigators decide which treatments should be tested in larger, full-scale trials. One 4-month pilot trial has examined the effects on AD of administering a nasal-spray form of insulin. This trial is founded on evidence that AD is associated with reduced levels of insulin in cerebrospinal fluid and that treatment with insulin improves memory performance. The trial will provide useful data on the safety, feasibility, and potential effectiveness of this innovative treatment approach. Investigators may be able to use the results to plan future full-scale clinical trials.
Beyond pilot studies, investigators also are conducting full-scale AD clinical trials of various interventions. One of these trials, the Alzheimer's Disease Cooperative Study (ADCS), is testing whether one omega-3 fatty acid (DHA), found in the oil of certain fish, can slow the progression of cognitive and functional decline in people with mild to moderate AD. During the 18-month clinical trial, investigators will measure the progress of the disease using standard tests for functional and cognitive change. Researchers also will evaluate whether taking DHA supplements has a positive effect on possible physical and biological markers of AD, such as brain atrophy and proteins in blood and spinal fluid. The ADCS is a federally established consortium conducting clinical trials on AD, with sites across the United States and Canada.
Full-scale AD prevention trials are under-way as well. One such trial, Prevention of Alzheimer's Disease with Vitamin E and Selenium (PREADVISE), is being conducted in conjunction with a National Cancer Institute-funded trial called the Selenium and Vitamin E Cancer Prevention Trial (SELECT). SELECT is evaluating whether taking selenium and/or vitamin E supplements can prevent prostate cancer in healthy men older than 60 years. PREADVISE is evaluating whether these supplements can help prevent memory loss and dementia by protecting brain cells from oxidative damage (see "The Aging Process [4]" for more on oxidative damage). About 6,000 of the more than 30,000 men enrolled in SELECT are participating in PREADVISE.

The other day I had a phone call from one of my sons. In a loud voice he said, "When did you learn how to text?"
I replied, "Well, I really don't know how. I've just sent a message or two to the college son when he was in class."
The loud son said, "Your bill was $37 for texting this month."
This took me aback for a moment. I realized that my 13 year old son has been using my phone a lot to text his friends. I related this information to my loud son.
"Oh," he said. "Now you can text as much as you want because I put you on the $5 a month for as much texting as you want."
"OK," I said.
I haven't used the texting since. This loud son takes care of the family phones and everyone sends money to him for their bills. Texting seems like a lot of work for such a small amount of communication.
There is one good thing about texting and teenagers on long car trips. It keeps them quiet as they text back and forth to their friends.
While the true beauty of texting has alluded me, I'm sure it is a very useful tool. I am still a little slow at it, but I'm willing to learn, not only that I have unlimited texting time to try it out.

JM109 is deficient in β-galactosidase activity due to deletions in both genomic and episomal copies of the lacZ gene. The deletion in the episomal (F´ factor) copy of the lacZ gene (lacZΔM15) can be complemented by addition of a functional α-peptide encoded by a pGEM®-Z or pGEM®-Zf Vector. If complementation does not occur, bacterial colonies are white. To maintain the F´, JM109 should be grown on minimal (M-9) media supplemented with 1mM thiamine.

Winter's garden feigns quiet slumber. In reality, though, it's catapulting the New Year into four seasons of floral profusion. As the first petals face the world, the landscape begins its progression of nonstop color.
The Southern spirit of each season can be captured in a dominant shade. Right this minute, white flowers abound. In spring, the world erupts with a flurry of pink. Summer's cool blues offer a reprieve from heat, and the first hint of gold promises autumn's onset. Now and in the coming months, we will celebrate each one in its time, explaining how you can keep your world blooming throughout the year.
Creamy vanilla primroses bundle uncomplicated charm and innocence in the petals of a flower. The Upper South enjoys these happy plants as perennials under trees and shrubs. The rest of us appreciate them as seasonal potted plants.
Primroses prefer cool weather and damp soil. If you choose to keep them indoors, find a chilly windowsill, and water the soil as it begins to dry. Outdoors, they snuggle into containers and thrive, provided they don't suffer a hard freeze. Again, moisture is key. For the longest bloom time, peek down between the petals in search of buds when buying plants; you'll be rewarded with several months of easy-care flowers.

Loosely translated, Caciocavallo means horseback... Fear not, this delicious southern Italian cheese is not related to any 'cavallo' or horse products and is manufactured very much like provolone. It's characteristic large tear-drop ball shape is a result of being hung to age. The taste and texture is very similar to medium bodied provolone and the thick skin is edible. This cheese has been featured in recipes on cooking shows such as the FoodNetwork and more... Sold as a large, whole ball weighing @ 4.5 lbs and when available includes a rope around it's collar but no hitching post, sorry! ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦

Hindsight is a wonderful thing and many of us would look a hell of a lot smarter if we were able to go back in time and change some of our more dubious decisions. Remember that high school picture that you hoped would be quickly forgotten? Remember how you used to dress in those days? Did you think your favorite striped blue shirt would be gazed upon by millions of people on the internet years later when you became a massive celebrity? Looking back, probably not.
Yes, hindsight is often 20/20, particularly when it comes to hairstyles, tattoos and free agent signings.
If we could go back in time, many of us would do things a little differently. Considering what NHL players are signing for these days, you wonder if some teams also wish that they could go back in time and wait until August 1st to sign guys, rather that having made all their moves on July 1st. It's way easier to say today how money should have been spent than it was a mere 30 days ago. But then again, who am I to talk? I once said that the Oilers won the Pouliot/Jacques for Parise trade right after it happened. Could I have been more right?
When you look at how frugal teams have become in the past few weeks, you can't help but wonder why so many felt the need to overspend a few weeks ago.
Unrestricted free agents generally get overpaid
It's a fact. And it isn't just the Oilers who need to overpay to get a player to come here. Controversial columnist, Larry Brooks wrote on July 26th that the Oilers were being desperate in their need to overpay star players to join the team.
Here's a snippet of what he wrote:
Don't the Oilers get it? Their city is the last place in North America (other than presumably Ottawa and perhaps Atlanta) that Heatley wants to live, and their team is the last one in the NHL (insert a disclaimer or two) for which he wants to play. Enough already with the bribery and the convincing. The team and the city look more than desperate. They are beginning to appear pathetic with their continued pursuit of the player who for good reason has become hockey's most disdained individual. We know. The Oilers have to overpay in order to entice players of Heatley's on-ice pedigree to come to their city, and that's the reason why Nik Khabibulin was able to get an over-35 contract worth $15 million over four years on July 1.
What I find laughable here is Brooks' suggestion the Oilers have to overpay, because of the City. C'mon Larry - wake the f**k up. In the City that never sleeps all the Rangers seem to do is over pay guys to report to the team.
Scott Gomez gets $7.3 million a year for five years. Chris Drury got $7 million, Wade Redden is a $6.5 million cap hit on the books and injury-prone Marian Gaborik takes home a cool $7.5 million. Larry, do you really think these aren't overpayments too?
The fact is teams overpay for UFAs all the time, especially in the first few days of July, and normally throughout the summer. But not this year. This year it would seem the well has dried up.
Looking back now...
I wonder if the Habs are re-thinking offering Brian Gionta $5 million a year, when it looks like they could get Alex Tanguay for less than half of that now? Mike Comrie made $4 million last year, and while he struggled with only 10 goals, the three previous seasons he tallied 21, 20 and 30. He turns 29 in September and he'll probably sign for $1.5 million at the most.
Proven checkers like Mike Peca, Manny Malhotra and Blair Betts are still on the market, and if they get a deal it could be close to $750,000 or less. I spoke with Betts yesterday at a golf tourney and the phone hasn't been ringing at all lately. He is a proven veteran, who kills penalties and is good in the room, yet no interest. I know the Oilers have too many contracts but signing Betts to a one-year deal for $650,000 wouldn't hurt. Hell, some veterans might accept two-way deals at this point, just to get to camp. I bet Dominic Moore is regretting not signing the Leafs offer of close to $2 million back in June, because when he signs it will be for half of that.
I think many teams blew their wad in early July, and while they might have interest in a player, they simply have no money left to spend today. One positive should be that fans will see a lot of desperate players playing just to maintain, or get a new contract next year. That should make the dog days of the season a bit more competitive - or at least you would think it would.
Did the Oilers over pay for Khabibulin? You bet they did. But it is hilarious to suggest that it is only cities like Edmonton desperate to overpay players into bring them into the organization. New York City - the "supposed" best city in North America overpays players more often than most.
And they win all the time don't they?
@ wiggs22:
If you know Heatley is not happy and you will have to eventually move him (either before the season or sometime during it) why would you trade Spezza? That makes no sense
July 31 2009, 04:15PM
@ wiggs22
With the potential train wreck Ottawa is riding bringing Heater back in, the last thing they want to do right now to further destabalize the franchise by shipping out their next-most visible player. Ottawa fans have enough to hate already. It will be a quiet summer in the nation's capital until camp is my bet.
July 31 2009, 04:15PM
I missed the conference. Did it go something like this?
Tambi- "hey guys, The Oilers arent doing anything else right now and wont be doing anything else in the future...including landing Heatley."
Terry Jones- "ndgehfkwejm,ffjeudmmmfff *inaudible noises muffled by the Donair he's still chewing*
Robin Brownlee- "So you really decided to waste my time by having a conference to report that you havent done anything?"
Tambi- "Yes, but in a good way."
Robin Brownlee- "I'm Robin F*cking Brownlee, dont bother me until you've actually done something."
Tambi- "We just wanted to address the media regarding our inability to land someone who could put the Biscuit Top Cheese."
Robin Brownlee- "You're dead to me."
@ Curious: All i'm saying is that if the sens were interested in our players. Would they be willing to give us someone else. Personally, i'd break up the guys and see what i could get for one or two of them... I love frolov from LA. I wonder how much it would take to get him. ~Staios, penner and a third?~
July 31 2009, 04:18PM
@ Archaeologuy:
Pretty close, except the 'dead to me' comment was actually Gregor.
@ Archaeologuy: lawl, nice one!
Kovalchuk to the Oilers. (E3)
July 31 2009, 04:25PM
@ wiggs22:
Except for this one situation where Ottawa was desperate ('Damn you, Heatley camp, for leaking that you'd demanded a trade'), you will not find another home for Penner until he has a breakout season and proves that he's worth his contract. We're stuck with him. Staios, God love him, is getting pretty long-in-the-tooth and isn't attractive trade-bait.
Yeah, you could trade our good players, like Cogs and Smid, but what are you expecting back for them? GM's know these guys, and they're probably not making deals right now just to make deals. If we try to improve at all between now and training camp, it will probably be by taking on someone else's Penner that they need to clear to make the cap. Ain't that joyous?

I got several things out of what Tambo said.
1. The Oilers, along with a lot of other teams, are in a state of paralysis because they are carrying too many contracts and can't move them. Teams are trying to get rid of contracts so player movement is greatly hampered by this state of affairs.
2. The team addressed their perceived greatest need by signing the West Edmonton Wall. (Can't remember who came up with this line but it is pretty good). Essentially, it went down similar to a trade in that Roli signed with the Islanders (one contract out) and the team signed the Bulin Wall (one contract in). There was no net impact on the team in terms of contracts being brought in.
Given the paralysis that seems to exist within the NHL right now in terms of significant trades, the team is determined to go with what they have. Largely, this appears to be because they don't have a lot of choice right now. I do think that we are underestimating the Oilers this year which is inversely proportionate to how much we overestimated them last year.
I still think that the team will sign one free agent and that would be a third line center who can skate, kill penalties and is good in the face off circle.
I actually think that the team will be interesting to watch this year, assuming that there is an established system in place from the coaching staff that the players can buy into. I think the coaching change may end up being the biggest signing of the off season.
I howled laughing though at the comment about the presser being about Quinn announcing Hemsky being moved from center to the wing. :-)

What is this guy's name? Inquiring minds want to know. Tambo was asked about Blair Betts straight out and you'd have thought Tambo was auditioning for 'So You Think You Can Dance' the way he went around that question.
Somewhere I missed somthing that Quinn thinks hemsky is a center.Is this true?

Yeah, he did do a mighty fine job of tap dancing around that question. I am not sure that there is one person the Oilers are targeting for third line center. It could be Betts or Malhotra or someone else. Someone with size who can play tough. I think the decision will ultimately boil down to which player in that mold is willing to accept a one year contact with a reasonable salary. Given the number of free agents left out there, who knows, you may even see someone like that here on a tryout basis in training camp. But I think the decision will be made based on the logic of term and salary as opposed to targeting a specific player at this point. That is my guess anyhow.
Here is how I see it.
It is a loss for the Oilers that we did not get Heatley. A 50 goal scorer doesn't come around everyday. Indeed, the Oilers haven't had a 50 goal scorer since 87-88 (Craig Simpson). In fact, it was a good deal all around. Oilers give up 3 contracts to get 1 primetime player. And the 3 guys they give up are never going to amount to 1 Heatley. Cogliano is Todd Marchant part 2 and should be traded now before other teams realize that. Smid wants out anyways. And Penner is a useful player who needs a lot of micromanagement to be effective.
As a result if we go into the season with the current lineup we can expect the same result. And that result is definitely out of the playoffs There are so many things wrong with this team's makeup and while I do think Tambo does see the problems. I think he realizes that flushing everyone that is a problem is not the best strategy. I think he is waiting for other teams to approach him and make the mistake of overvaluing some of our lower end talent. In this category, I would put Nilsson, Pouliot, Reddox, Schremp, Staios (he had his day but is clearly on the downhill slide).
So what do I expect. I expect Tambo to at least jettison some of these guys for draft picks and aim to package up some of our useful mediocre talent for a specific skill, matching the Smid, Penner, and Cogs to Ottawa trade. Problem is who do you get? There really is no one. Kovalchuk is a huge liability. He scores yes but he also is a major defensive softy. And may not be available. Otherwise NHL scorers are largely spoken for.
Gagner, Hemsky and Lubo are no ticket to the promised land. Plus we now have a goalie that could break down in the middle of the year.
Could anyone do better than Tambo right now? The answer is for sure NO. Those that think they can are going to choose 1 path and that is flush the team and aim for 5 years of top 5 draft picks. Anyone else who thinks they are in a position to procure talent with this group of players as your bargaining chip is kidding themselves and being totally unrealistic. Chances are they are the same people looking to trade for Malkin last year... Laughable.
Props to Gregor for calling July 1st what it is, a bunch of GMs spending like drunken sailors then regreting it later. But slowly Im seeing a trend to more prudence on the 1st. There just isnt the return on investment for a lot of these July 1st signings. Good on Tambo not throwing away millions for some diva that wont be good for the oilers. As for Heatley, I dont even know why this city is still talking about him. Move on and let him rot in Ottawa
Hey, what do you guys think about the new guy on the TEAM 1260? It seems like they are turning more open air time over to the callers. Thats a nice change. Kinda of got tired of listening to the same droning of old hosts. But in my opinion they should keep segments with Scott Taylor and Bob Mckenzie, but do away with Wilkie and the guy from the U of A.

I agree with the logic behind this statement. Being able to send three contracts the other way for one does make a certain amount of sense, to be sure. It gives you a scorer and provides you with greater flexibility to add players based on the total number of contracts the team has. The salary cap is another issue but it does address some issues within the organization.
That said, I am glad that Heatley isn't coming to Edmonton. Although I think there was some upside in terms of the business of operational management as I noted above, I wouldn't like to see Heatley in the dressing room. I mean, he is alleged to not return calls from his current team captain, didn't attend a team mates wedding and who knows what else. Whether it is Heatley himself or those advising him on how to proceed, his actions have spoken very clearly that he is much more concerned with himself to the exclusion of consideration for his team. That is something the Oilers don't need in the room. There were rumors of tensions in the room last year and, hopefully, with a coaching change, we will see an end to that.

As you alluded to, the dude has been very ill advised or is himself acting in a poor fashion. Not saying Heatley was alone propelling us into the SCF either but a guy of his skill set would be a step in the right direction.
@ DSG: You my friend if you think cogliano is Todd marchant 2 do not know a thing about hockey cogliano has better hands now and more of a nose for the net then marchant ever had.How many top shelf goals has cogliano put in the net playing with very mediocre players that is the only argument I have with your post though do not undervalue our true talent

So waiting was good because you get some nice bargains?
I can certainly buy that. The Oil then at this point would seem to silly not to sign a guy like Malhotra or even a Betts that would go a long way to helping shore up major weak areas on this team. Like face offs, PK, experienced center in the bottom six etc...
Since the start of this off-season I (as well as many Oiler fans) have wanted just that as much and maybe more than that scorer.
But I get the feeling when Tambo was talking that they plan to do nothing else on this front. They are lucky at this point there are a few guys that fit the bill still floating around and should come at a cheaper price. But they may just not bother.

I talked with Betts yesterday the Oilers have not contacted him or his agent to this point.
DSG wrote:

You are way off here. The only comparison is that in their second full season they both had 38 points. Marchant had 19 goals his second year, then got 20 in 2003 before striking it rich with Columbus. He hasn't reached ten goals since.
Marchant is way grittier than Cogliano, but Cogliano has way more skill. Sure he missed breakaways his first year like Marchant, but he didn't last year. Cogliano has way more natural skill. Don't be surprised if he surpasses Marchant's career high of 20 goals this season.
I don't care what anybody says the Oilers are not going to be a playoff team with the current roster they have, is the management fooling themselves? didn't they have a plan B if Heatley did not sign? all there is are excuses and window dressing "The Future is bright for the Oliers, or the year before that which is my favorite Kevin Lowe's "We all have egg on our face", Well wipe it off and go after someone else.

July 31 2009, 10:49PM
I think people tend to forget it takes 2 teans to trade. If no one is trading players of value for dead weight then what else can Tambellini do? Force Atlanta to trade Kovy for Schremp, Nillson and Staois? Or the other great suggestion send players to the minors so we can sign someone else for several years and still stay right up to the cap before it falls next year? Unfortunately Tambo is doing the right thing by letting the contracts run their course so we can get rid of them. Our players are still young and I would rather keep a Nilson at 2 mil and hope he produces this year than send him down pay his full salary sign another player and hope he produces so you dont waste more money there.
@ gdawg: Look at Nashiville they have awful team and they still make the playoffs.
@ Batman34: is it the divisions they are in or is nashville just a little better than the oilers? Or maybe its the half a dozen games or so every season the oilers seem to piss away.

Just heard the interview on the Oilers site. I was imagining little Dan crying just a little bit as Tambellini responded. He (Tambo) sounded pretty pissed when Dan asked him to go over the Heatley trade. I bet Dan sent apology flowers to Steve's house this morning.
chiming in quite late, just wanted to say great piece by you JG.
i heard your comments on Brooksy the other day on Just a Game. truer words have never been spoken.
dude is a f*cking clown.
Oilers look like fools for the contracts they have handed out or have taken on. We have over paid on far too many guys. This isn't just one or two guys.
Horcoff 6.5 (Lowe negotiated this after downing a bottle of rye, I am sure) Pisani 2.5 Penner 4.25 Souray 5.5 (now) Lubomir 7 (we didn't give this but we did take it) Staios 2.9 (He was a horse in his time but this contract was too much for a 6-8th guy) Gilbert 3.5 (5.5 next season)
- Too many soft, unproductive, or oft-injured guys there.
Now we are paying 35 year old Khabibulin 3.75. Hope he stays healthy!!
These contracts didn't need

I learned a new word recently.
adjective: Having well-shaped buttocks.
From Greek calli- (beautiful) + pyge (buttocks). Two related words are dasypygal and steatopygia.
USAGE:"And it hasn't been lost on modern film directors that a nice set of tights can showcase the callipygian assets of a well-formed leading man."
Heroes in Hosiery; South China Morning Post (Hong Kong); Jul 20, 2006
I am being asked by more and more patients about buttock shaping, lifting, and even implants. The entire idea of defining a nice buttock is interesting to me. Difficult to put into words, but something "you know when you see" one. And yes, I do check out men's butts. The girls in the OR and I have been know to whisper about how nice Dr ___'s butt looks in his scrubs.
Okay, back to the topic. What defines a well-shaped buttock?
The features that are common to attractive youthful, female buttocks in all ethnic groups include (photo credit):
- A smooth inward sweep of the lumbosacral area and waist.
- A very feminine cleavage as the buttocks separate superiorly and inferiorly.
- Maximum prominence in the mid to upper buttocks.
- There should be minimal infragluteal crease, with no droop above this line.
Sacral dimples or depressions may be present or absent in attractive youthful buttocks, but are not considered a determinant of their beauty.
Even with the difference in cultural ideas of the "ideal" buttock, the above features hold. Some ethnic differences include (some good photos can be found here):
Caucasian patients
- will generally want buttocks that are full but not really large.
- fullness of the lateral thigh is considered objectionable.
- Some prefer a full rounded lateral buttocks.
- Others prefer a flat or hollow lateral buttock (considered a more "trim" or athletic look).
Hispanic or of recent Hispanic descent
- prefer buttocks that are very full.
- lateral buttocks that are very full
- a slight fullness in the lateral thigh.
Asian patients
- prefer buttocks that are shapely but small to moderate in size
- little or no fullness in the lateral buttocks or lateral thigh.
African-Americans and Caribbean's of African descent
- have a strong and consistent cultural ideal of very large buttocks
- often will request a "shelf" (extreme prominence of the upper buttocks)
- prefer very full lateral buttocks
- a very full, prominent trochanteric area of the lateral thighs is considered attractive by both men and women in this culture
There are multiple procedures that can be used to get to or closer to the "ideal" (must in keep in mind the patient's ideal) buttock. These include:
Buttock Reduction/Contouring
Buttock Lifts
Combination of the Above
And don't forget these exercises that help tone and bulk up the glutes. You can find them here or a video here or this youtube video (the one below) or this one.

You probably thought all of those Russian oligarchs were rotting in prison. Not Andrey Melnichenko, whose $300 million bomb-proof yacht will be obscenely hitting up the world's hottest beach spots this summer and spoiling less-rich men's vacations.
Simply named "A," Melnichenko's 394-foot, custom built penis ship has all the amenities a billionaire could dream of on the high seas: a rotating king-size bed, 44-millimeter bomb-proof glass, $40,000 bathroom knobs, Baccarat tables, and a special "nookie room" where he can impress female guests with the sheer size of his ship and its living quarters. Melnichenko, "a 38-year-old banking, steel and fertilizer czar" is in stiff competition with fellow billionaire (and New Jersey Nets owner!) Roman Abramovich for the world's most awesomist boat ever. Abramovich's new 540-foot "Eclipse" will launch soon.
It wasn't easy building the greatest ship to ever set sail, either. The boat basically put three companies out of business, according to The Journal:
A transom door in the rear of the boat, which swings with open to become a swim deck, is fitted with so many hydraulics, locking pins, rotating stairs and electronics that it cost around $25 million to build. The company that made it eventually went bankrupt, along with the company that made the bomb-proof wrap-around glass encasing the master suite and the company that built the hydraulic gangways. The ship's two main landing boats are mini-yachts themselves, stretching to 36 feet, boasting plush interiors and costing more than $1 million each.
Watch out, you envious millionaires on the Côte d'Azur — the billionaires will show you how it's done. A slideshow of the "A" can be seen here.

1. Spiral notebooks.
Hurts the side of your hand. The worst are the five-subject with the extra big rings.
2. Writing in a three-ring binder.
You have to do that thing where you fit your hand between the top two, then eventually have to pick it up and fit it in between the bottom two.
3. Only one gross lefty glove in gym class.
The handsweat of a thousand lefties before you.
4. Only two pairs of the green lefty scissors in class, three lefty kids.
Scrambling through the scissors to find the ones with the green rubber handles, only to see they're already all gone.
5. Ballpoint pens don't work as well because you're pushing, not pulling the ball.
The ink will never flow as well for lefties, so our pens stop up more.
6. Ink all over the side of your hand.
7. Bonking elbows with a righty at the dinner table.
8. On the iPad Kindle app, the left side is back page.
This is really annoying — if you prefer to hold it in your left hand, you have to move your hand all the way to the other side to tap. On a real Kindle, page forward is on both sides, thankfully.
9. Driver's cup holder is for the right hand.
So you have to hold your cup with your right hand.
10. Number pad is on the right-hand side of keyboard.
11. Dying sooner, so becoming a zombie sooner.
Studies have shown lefties die up to nine years sooner than righties. At least we'll get to eat their brains.
12. These desks.
College lecture hall desks with postage-stamp sizes desks. You have to twist your back and hold up your arm to use.
13. Measuring cups show you the stupid metric side.
The cups/ounces side is for the righties. You have to do that thing where you twist your whole arm around to be able to read ounces.
14. You, old friend.
15. Made for righties.
Apparently you can get modified lefty controllers, but maybe you should just go outside.
16. Cord on the credit card machine pen is never long enough.
Annoying. Annoying. I'm annoyed.
18. For which someone invented THESE
The saddest thing is that all the lefties in the BuzzFeed office now want these. The indignity.
- Over two dozen people were injured after a truck crashed into a crowd at a Mardi Gras parade, New Orleans police said.
- Moderate to severe coral bleaching continues to affect the Great Barrier Reef almost a year after the worst bleaching crisis in history.
- Here's the beef: Rapper Remy Ma dragged Nicki Minaj in a new diss track, and she fired back with a Beyoncé endorsement 😱

Fragrant with cinnamon and chopped nuts, this pumpkin bread is a classic.
Greasing just the bottoms of the pans helps form a gently rounded top. If the sides are greased, edges of the loaf may have ridges.
Go ahead and leave the raisins out if you don't like them. The bread will still be delicious!

Excellent Organic tea, with nice aroma.
Very nice
Posted by Reviewer2891273 on Dec 24, 2012
It is a very good tea. It is pretty strong but without bitterness, nice aroma and very pleasant colour – golden red. One teaspoon makes two good cups of tea. I prefer to use it without milk not to dim the colour and aroma. I will try another teas from this brand.
Yep it's Black Tea
Posted by Reviewer2344128 on May 24, 2013
Yep it's Black Tea. Tastes fine to me - I don't detect anything unusually extraordinary in the flavor. [Edit - I'm realizing something else now though. I often end up steeping my tea for a very long time, and this one has yet to exhibit the bitterness that some other black teas I've tried have when steeped long].
Nice aroma with hints of caramel
Posted by Reviewer1275622 on Mar 25, 2013
This tea tastes wonderful. I am very happy with the purchase.Thanks!
Posted by Hanne67 on May 12, 2013
I love this tea, beacuse of it's neutral taste and can be used together with your food. I use it in my Just a Leaf glass cup, and also love the color of it.
Very good!

Sabor marcante
really delicious!
Posted by AndreaFrankel on Dec 17, 2013
If you like English breakfast-type teas, you will love this one. It's a very clean flavor, very mild, but you can brew it strong enough to stand up to milk.

Very warm and distinct flavor.

Lower Survey Rates Continue to Defy Forecasts for Gradual Increases
The average rate for a 30-year fixed rate mortgage dropped two basis points in Freddie Mac's latest weekly survey, leaving it slightly less than 1% higher than a year ago.
The 30-year rate clocked in at 4.39% during the week ending Jan. 23.
The 15-year rate fell by one basis point to 3.44%. This rate is 73 basis points above where it was one year ago.
Fixed mortgage rate declines in the previous week's survey were more pronounced, and the latest Mortgage Bankers Association applications survey showed apps were higher last week. The next MBA survey on Wednesday will show how applications responded to rate activity this week.
When federal officials make moves designed to lower or raise rates that the market anticipates, often rates will move the opposite direction at the start of the program. This generally reflects the market over-estimating the effect of the move in its pricing and then recalibrating it for the actual program's effect.
While longer-term mortgage rates that dominate the market are down slightly on average this week, shorter-term rates have a more mixed response to market conditions.
The average rate for a five-year Treasury hybrid this week is up five basis points at 3.15%. It is 48 basis points higher than a year ago.
The average rate for a one-year Treasury adjustable-rate mortgage dropped two basis points to 2.54%. This rate is just three basis points lower than one year ago.
Average points are lowest for one-year Treasury ARMs and five-year Treasury hybrids at half of a point, compared to 0.7 of a point for FRMs.

Scoot Blog: Media?s Rush to Judgment - Excusable?
by Scoot
posted Apr 18 2013 7:48PM
The FBI has released video and photos of two suspects in the Boston Marathon bombing known as Suspect #1 and Suspect #2. The FBI is asking the public to help identify the suspects, which have been described as 'armed and dangerous.'
(Click HERE to view photos and video of the suspects.)
However, yesterday reputable news sources, like CNN, FOX News, the Boston Globe, and the Associated Press were all reporting that a suspect in the Boston Marathon bombings had been identified and taken into custody. C NN's John King went so far as to say that a source told him that the suspect was a "dark-skinned male." The 'breaking news' of an arrest in the bombings continued until the "breaking news" became news that NO arrest had been made in the case.
I am not one to automatically defend the media of which I am a part. However, in this case, let's give the media a break. We watch what we know is 'live' reporting about situations described as fluid, meaning there are constant changes in the story. The competitive instinct in news reporting is to be the first to break a story. While accuracy is important to any legitimate news organization, the goal of being first to report a big story often turns accuracy into a causality.
It is important for the public to trust the media, but it is also realistic to say that the public may demand too much from the media. Working on the show at my desk watching the minute-by-minute updates from CNN, FOX and MSNBC, it was interesting to watch how quickly the 'breaking news' changed. It's my job to pay attention to developing news stories, but for all those who were not watching this constantly changing story, they might have heard bits and pieces during the day and feel as if they have the true and accurate story.
Someone who heard that there was an arrest and went through part of their day breaking the news to others, only to learn that the original story was wrong, may feel embarrassed for their part in advancing the false news of an arrest and will quickly blame the media for the mistake. In this case, it would be the fault of the media, but as consumers of the media we should realize that live reporting is just that – live and not planned, scripted or rehearsed.
The 24-hour news networks have to fill 24 hours a day and they all go to wall-to-wall coverage when there is a major breaking story of national interest. This has changed news reporting in America, but it has yet to change the public's expectations of the media.
As I watched CNN's aggressive reporting of an arrest in the bombing case, I couldn't help but think about recent comments made by Jeff Zucker, the new president of CNN. Zucker said that CNN has not been compelling enough and compared the network to a "spare tire in the trunk," meaning you use it only when you have too. CNN's ratings have not kept pace with FOX and MSNBC. "You only take it out when you really need it," Zucker said to the Atlanta Press Club luncheon on Monday. "It's not one of the four tires on the car all the time. The challenge for us is how to make CNN more essential, how to make it one of the four tires on the car."
We, the audience, want immediate answers when it comes to tragedies. We want to know who is to blame and why they did it. But those answers cannot always be immediate. In an effort to serve the viewing public, the media have a tendency to give us immediate answers before all the facts are known. So, it now becomes our job to realize that as we watch live coverage of any news event, the first reports may not always be the most factual reports.
While this may cause some to condemn the media for putting speed before accuracy, the inaccurate reports of a suspect and an arrest earlier today do not harm the public or the investigation.
Blaming the media for 'anything' has become spectator's sport, but let's remember that the media are a collection of humans and humans make mistakes. Our demand for perfection of the media during live coverage is unrealistic.

Vintage is the name of the game for Australian style blogger Kani and you know we're all about anything that's remotely retro. We love this quaint look which includes a pair of lace-up denim shorts from online vintage shop Romwe styled with a saturated mustard top and ultra-cute white beret. The all black wedge bootie keeps it trendy and of-the-moment. You could easily dress this down a bit and make it more summer-appropriate by nixing the leggings and trading in the booties for an open toe platform a la Jeffrey Campbell in a nude hue. How do you get your vintage on?

I find the fact that only one image per sig is pretty annoying. Smileys are considered images too so I can't add a little smiley into my sig other than my DGM fan club button. I was thinking that you can at least increase the amount of images to 2 or 3 at least. Not unlimited though because if some idiot fills his/her sig with only smileys, it can be troublesome.
Just a thought.

By PATSY STODDARDEditor
Since winning the Miss Utah State Fair Queen title, Barbara Burke has spent the last two weeks reigning over fair activities. Burke said, "We have been performing our talents at the gazebo and other stages around the fair. We also do karaoke each night. Each morning we sit at the queen's corner and read to the children who come to the fair and I've really enjoyed that.
"Each of the contestants in the queen contest brought their favorite book and donated it to the children. After we read to the children then they can take a book home with them. Every night of the rodeo we rode into the arena for the grand entry. We rode on Dodge pickups and they introduced us to the audience and we were close to the action. We met a lot of cowboys.
"We also met OTown and Joan Jett. On September 11 when they had the patriotic program, we met Billy Ray Cyrus who sang on the program and Olene Walker, the lieutenant governor. Each night we also participate in the 'meet and greet' before each of the concerts. We met L. Tom Perry at the patriotic program and that was special.
"We've been on all of the local news channels. We met with Angie Larsen from Channel 4 and with Allie MacKay from Fox 13. I was also in the ice cream eating contest. Each year the Dairy Princess challenges the Fair Queen to a contest. Usually the dairy princess wins, but this year I won the contest. We had our picture in the Salt Lake Tribune, but my mouth was so stuffed with ice cream you couldn't tell it was me.
"We did the macarana with the square dancers and we were on the X-96 radio station and also on KSOP with Country Joe. On Thursday we sang America the Beautiful at the rodeo. We also get to stand on stage through the concerts. Trick Pony a country group is going to perform, also.
"Each night we judge the family fun night that Meadow Gold sponsors. We've done so many things and it's been really fun. We also cooked with the Gabby Gourmet and were in a pie eating contest. The fair board pays for our room and board expenses and we have been staying at the Crystal Inn in Salt Lake.
"My first attendant is Erika Stevens and she is from Layton. We have a fair mom who is our chaperone and her name is Dana Wooley. They also provided a car for our use while we are here. We also had a special night out where we ate at the LaCaille. One Sunday we went to Music and the Spoken Word and heard the Mormon Tabernacle Choir.
"I've been attending Snow College and am representing them here as well. We will receive a scholarship from the fair board and I will also have the opportunity to compete in the Miss Utah pageant again next June. It's been a great experience and we've met a lot of cool people and participated in a lot of interesting events," said Burke.
Burke is the daughter of Joan and Steve Burke of Ferron.

Rated 5 out of 5�by fashionista98 Attractive looking The color online is lighter than it really is in person. At first, I was disappointed because it wasn't the light color blue that appeared online but when I tried it on, the color was beautiful (aparo blue) and the fit was perfect. This hoodie and its matching pants look very attractive especially in this color which looks like a deep blue purplish color. I highly rec'd this color and sweat outfit because you can dress it up or down and still look chic and sexy at the same time. November 27, 2012

We are still getting the website up but can be contacted by my email. My product can be done on nearly any type or size of product. Be it metal, plastic, foam, leather, pvc, wood even food! If it can be painted I can chrome it! I am also able to tint the chrome to nearly any color in the rainbow. Think about all the fun that can be had with bouncing light off of objects with out the use of breakable mirrors. Customers getting to see the glint of a cleaver, knife ect. Limited edition items for collector items. Make your items unique. Let me know what you guys think.
If interested I can be reached by email: firstname.lastname@example.com
I sent you an email.
I'm sorry sir I checked both my spam & inbox & didnt have an email from you, could you please send it again?
Thank you
