The Montreal Canadiens took a dramatic step forward in 2013, finishing with the second-best record in the Eastern Conference one year after finishing with the worst record in the conference, and that success raises expectations for the future.
Off-Season Game Plan looks at a Canadiens team that has been re-energized by young talent and should have a lot of continuity going into next season.
One of the most remarkable facets of Montreal's success last season is that they finished with such a strong record despite subpar goaltending. ranking 18th in team save percentage. It's not that a team can't win without good goaltending, but Montreal has been built, to some degree, on the premise that Carey Price would provide above-average puck stopping and that's not what made the difference.
Rather, it was dramatically improved puck possession (from 27th to sixth in Fenwick Close) that indicated the Canadiens were driving play in the right direction and, as such, their improvement shouldn't be dismissed as the result of luck or good fortune in the land of shooting and save percentages.
Canadiens owner Geoff Molson is understandably positive about the turn in the Canadiens' results, telling the Montreal Gazette, "We went a long way toward building for the future. We're headed in the right direction." Molson also praised GM Marc Bergevin, giving him full credit for the Canadiens' improvement.
There is definitely a different feeling with the Canadiens under Bergevin's regime. That may be due to a successful team, but there appears to be progress and now the Canadiens get to deal with the challenge any successful enterprise and that is meeting raised expectations in the future.
The TSN.ca Rating is an efficiency rating based on per-game statistics including goals and assists -- weighted for strength (ie. power play, even, shorthanded) -- plus-minus, hits, blocked shots, giveaways, takeaways, penalty differential and faceoffs. (Stats are listed in this format: G-A-PTS, +/-, PIM, GP). Generally, a replacement-level player is around a 60, a top six forward and top four defenceman will be 70-plus, stars will be over 80 and MVP candidates could go over 90. Sidney Crosby finished at the top of the 2013 regular season ratings with a 93.65.

Canadiens Forwards Usage Chart from somekindofninja.com
He may not be known widely as a star, but Max Pacioretty has been playing at that level over the past two seasons. He's eighth in shots on goal (449) and shots per game (3.65), while he's tied for 16th with 48 goals. Additonally, Pacioretty has sensational puck possession stats over the last three seasons, so he's not arriving at these scoring results by accident. He's a big body who can skate and takes the puck to the net, making him a vital part of Montreal's attack.
Starting the season as a healthy scratch when he wasn't on the fourth line, Brendan Gallagher quickly ascended in the lineup, forcing his way into a more prominent role by scoring goals (he ultimately tied Pacioretty for the team lead with 15). Though he's only 5-foot-8, Gallagher is sturdy, goes to the hard areas necessary to score and had strong possession numbers as a rookie. He's a fifth-round steal already, but can he build on his strong rookie campaign?
Over the last four seasons, Tomas Plekanec ranks fifth among all centres in ice time, playing in all situations, with a decidedly defensive focus, based on zone starts and matchups, compared to some of the other big-minute centres in the league. At the same time, over the last four years, his 212 points ranks 18th among centres, so he's a very effective two-way performer.
2013 was a breakout season for Lars Eller, who scored a career-high 30 points, in only 46 games, though it ended with a bang when he was knocked out by Senators defenceman Eric Gryba in the playoffs. Presuming that he's recovered and fully healthy for next season, Eller is a valuable piece to have, a big body with enough skill to provide secondary scoring down the middle.
In Brian Gionta's first season with the Habs, 2009-2010, he had 46 points in 61 games (0.75 ppg), scoring at a rate similar to his previous four years in New Jersey (0.80 ppg). Since then, Gionta has 87 points in 161 games (0.54 ppg) and, now that he's 34, it's looking less likely that he will reverse that trend. The drop in scoring rate comes primarily in assists, however, as Gionta does have a team-leading 79 goals over the course of four seasons with the Canadiens.
Since he was acquired from Calgary, in exchange for Michael Cammalleri, Rene Bourque has managed 21 points in 65 games for the Canadiens, calling into question the wisdom of committing to paying him for three more seasons. With unlimited compiance buyouts, Bourque might be a candidate to be cut loose, but Montreal has already used one on Scott Gomez and figures to use another on Tomas Kaberle and that will take care of the two that teams have at their disposal. So, if Bourque is going to stick around, he needs to provide some offence go along with his big body. Over the last five seasons, Bourque has scored 100 goals, so something like his 20-goal average over that span would be most helpful.
The NHL lockout probably worked in favour of last summer's third overall pick, Alex Galchenyuk. After his 2011-2012 season was limited to just two regular season and six playoff games, Galchenyuk returned to Sarnia of the Ontario Hockey League and shredded the league, scoring 61 points in 33 games, before the NHL lockout ended, at which point Galchenyuk was in fine form and he earned a spot on the team a month before his 19th birthday.
Montreal kept Galchenyuk under wraps, for the most part, playing a modest 12:19 per game, but he was put in position to have success in those minutes and he showed both puck skills and a shot that indicate he will be a first-line scorer before long.
Following his breakthrough 2011-2012 season, David Desharnais saw his production and ice time dip last season. The challenge going forward will be finding enough ice time down the middle for Plekanec, Eller, Galchenyuk and Desharnais. At the moment, time on the wing for some is about the only workable way to go about it.
Brought in to add toughness to the Canadiens' lineup, Brandon Prust came as advertised. He's had 89 fights over the last five seasons, answering the bell against the league's toughest customers, but he's also capable of playing a regular shift. In the last four seasons, Prust has 74 points, is plus-21 and has accrued 589 penalty minutes, making Prust one of five players to have 70 points and 500 penalty minutes over the last four seasons.
Montreal invested in Travis Moen for another four years (at $1.85-million per) prior to last sason and then he ended up playing his fewest minutes per game (11:39) since 2005-2006. Since the price tag isn't changing, Moen needs to re-establish his physical game to provide better bang for the buck.
An agitator with 182 penalty minutes in 89 career games, Ryan White crosses the line on occasion and gets time in the press box to smarten up, but he's 25-years-old and should be able to provide fourth-line energy without going overboard.
The Canadiens don't have a lot of holes up front, and they can fill out depth spots with restricted free agents like Ryan White and Gabriel Dumont if they choose not to dip into the unrestricted free agent market for that need, but there is enough room to spend on a high-quality scoring forward, effectively to replace Michael Ryder.
Patrik Elias and Jaromir Jagr are nearing the end, but both have remained productive in recent seasons, so might fit alongside Tomas Plekanec. Otherwise, power forwards like Ryane Clowe or Nathan Horton could also be appealing options for a Canadiens team that could always use more size up front.
Canadiens Defence Usage Chart from somekindofninja.com
Montreal took a hard line in their negotiations with P.K. Subban, eventually agreeing to a new contract after the season had started, under the premise that if he played well, his next contract would provide the opportunity for a big long-term deal. Having just wrapped up a Norris-Trophy-winning season, it's safe to say that Subban is doing his part, playing at a very high level, to earn the accolades and pay cheque that come with being a star.
One expectation, going forward, for Subban is that he handle tougher assignments, because he was protected in the manner in which he was used last season. Nevertheless, that usage also allowed Subban to dominate. Since 2000, there have been 10 seasons (two for Nicklas Lidstrom, two for Mike Green, single seasons for Al MacInnis, Chris Pronger, Sergei Zubov and Erik Karlsson) in which a defenceman scored 0.90 points per game or more and finished plus-10 or better, a list that added Subban and Pittsburgh's Kris Letang in 2013.
A concussion robbed Raphael Diaz of half the season and he struggled after coming back late in the season (and into the playoff) but, with 30 points in 82 career games, the 27-year-old is making his mark as a puck-moving defenceman. He'll need to improve his puck possession stats if he's going to have long-term viability playing 22 minutes a night like he did from the beginning of February through the playoffs last season.
Since he was traded out of Toronto, Tomas Kaberle's career descent has been rapid, reaching the point last season when he essentially wasn't trusted in the lineup. He played 13:33 per game in 10 of 48 games. While Kaberle had good shot differentials in those 10 games, his usage depicted a player that the team wouldn't trust with anything but easy matchups starting in the offensive zone. For that reason, it's hard to imagine any resolution but using a compliance buyout on the final year of Kaberle's deal in order to free up additional salary cap room.
A much-needed physical presence on the Canadiens' blueline, Alexei Emelin made nice progress in his second NHL season, handling more difficult matchups and playing an extra couple minutes per game more than in his rookie season. However, Emelin's season ended when he tore his ACL trying to hit Bruins winger Milan Lucic, so now it's going to be a matter of when Emelin is ready to return to game action. The initial prognosis was a six-month recovery time, which would peg Emelin's return next season sometime around late November.
Picked up from Los Angeles, Davis Drewiske inked a two-year contract extension, which will suit him in a role as a seventh defenceman. He's a no-frills defensive defenceman who is limited, but safe.
Andrei Markov finally stayed healthy, playing more than 24 minutes in all 48 games last season, and his 30 points tied for fourth among defencemen, but that's not the whole picture of Markov's game. 23 of those 30 points came on the power play, so he's still stellar with the man advantage, but seven even-strength points in 48 games matched the production of such luminaries as Anton Stralman, Chris Butler and Keith Aulie.
At 34-years-old and coming off a series of injuries, Markov has lost a step, but that doesn't mean he can't be a quality part of the Montreal defence; it could be judicious to manage his minutes to allow him to be more effective at even strength.
A fire hydrant on skates, Francis Bouillon returned to Montreal and provided reliable third-unit work on the blueline at a reasonable price.
Knee injuries and a deep blueline depth chart limited Yannick Weber to six games last season. The 24-year-old has played 115 NHL games in his career, and while he's skilled and mobile, he has yet to establish himself as a regular in the top six on the Montreal a blueline, a job that only gets harder to achieve as younger options become available.
In Montreal's case, they have both a shutdown defenceman, Jarred Tinordi, and puck-mover, Nathan Beaulieu, on the verge of making the club.
Through the end of February, Carey Price was playing to a typical high level, with a .925 save percentage in 16 games, before the roof caved in on his season, starting with allowing seven goals against Pittsburgh on March 2. From that point on, Price had an .891 save percentage and then was up and down in the playoffs against Ottawa.
While he has the pedigree to be an elite puck-stopper, 25-year-old Price still has to put it together. Since he arrived in the league, in 2007, Price has a .915 save percentage, which isn't bad, but it ranks 15th among goalies with at least 200 games played.
Used sparingly in a backup role seems to fit with Peter Budaj, who has been decent when his playing time is limited. In two years with the Canadiens, he has a .912 save percentage in 30 games. Yet, in any single season in which he's played more than 30 games, his best save percentage has been .905. Essentially, it appears that less is more when it comes to Budaj, limiting his exposure.
The 17th overall pick in 2011, Nathan Beaulieu finished well in his first pro season, with 15 points and a plus-6 rating in his last 16 games and it's his offensive potential that will give him a chance to be an impact player in the NHL. Beaulieu got into six games with the Canadiens last season and didn't look out of place, so he could be ready for a longer look next season.
6-foot-6 Jarred Tinordi may be closer to the NHL than Beaulieu, having played eight regular season and five playoff games last season, and generally playing well in limited ice time. His physical game is what will, in time, make him a shutdown presence.
Drafted in the second round last summer, 19-year-old Sebastian Collberg is a skilled forward who could use more ice time than he's been getting in the Swedish Elite League and joined Hamilton for a couple of games late in the season.
A smallish but very productive winger, Danny Kristo scored 97 points in 82 games over his last two seasons at North Dakota. He'll likely need some time in the American Hockey League (where he had three assists in nine games at the end of the season), but if his speed and playmaking translate to the pro game, he'll be a scoring option.
Taken in the fifth-round in the 2012 draft, Charles Hudon is a talented but undersized player who has elevated his production in each of his junior seasons, and got a taste of AHL action (three points, minus-5 in nine games) at season's end.
A solid two-way forward, Michael Bournival has speed, blue-collar approach and, perhaps offensive limitations, to be a checker at the next level. Nothing wrong with a reliable top-nine forward.
Not only does right-shooting Darren Dietz make a good first pass and offer a big shot from the blueline, but he plays an aggressive physical game. The Habs blueline isn't in urgent need right now, so the 2011 fifth-rounder should have a few years to develop further.
23-year-old Magnus Nygren is coming off a strong season in the Swedish Elite League that helped the offensive rearguard earn a free agent contract. Again, Montreal's defence isn't desperate for a puck-moving addition, but Nygren does add depth and could force a decision if he has a smooth transition to North American next season.
A small and scrappy forward, Gabriel Dumont was useful in his 10 games played with the Canadiens last season, getting into three more in the playoffs. If he could use his speed to create at least a little offensively, he could add value on the lower half of the forward depth chart.
Tim Bozon is a skilled forward who has 72 goals in his first two WHL seasons. The 2012 third-round pick plays a well-rounded game and, with time, may be a candidate for a place on a scoring line.
Montreal has several other AHL prospects to keep on the radar, including forwards Patrick Holland, Louis LeBlanc and Joonas Nattinen as well as goalie Dustin Tokarski, who finished the year impressively (.927 SV% in 15 GP) for Hamilton.
DRAFT25th - Frederik Gauthier, Nicolas Petan, Kerby Rychel.

I like to collect discs so the best medium for me currently is the physical disc. I think the recording process and recording quality is more important than the format of the file or disc. The quality of the PCM CD is enough for me so I don't even have an SACD player (my player can play only the PCM layer).
What I miss very much is the usage of the CD "in:dex" feature. Old Denon CDs use that so when I play a "Mozart Sonata with Pires" for example my player can show me where the development section begins, where the coda, the A or B theme. Very few CDs use this feature nowadays. (The download formats unable to do this.) Of course it needs more CD editing work.

For me, DSD is the best. It is the format used to produce SACDs but you download it to your computer and there is not physical disc to turn round with a motor. With a suitable player (Audirvana Plus if you have a Mac) you can listen to it direct from the headphone socket or transfer the signal to a DSD DAC for playing native DSD or a PCM DAC where it will play in PCM format. If you have got a good stereo system you should hear the difference.
There is a lot of technical bits that can confuse so do not read too many blogs as a lot of the information shared is completely wrong. Keep to trusted websites such as this. Also try DSD GUIDE which gives some good advice. It is early stages for DSD but it is the start of a new era in music reproduction.
It is quite expensive to purchase at the moment and I do not know why it should be so much more than a physical SACD. Perhaps Jared can answer that?

So far I have only bought only SACD's on your website. I am unsure of the quality of the other media. Is there a definitive answer?

Fresh from recording a best-ever unbeaten run in the PRO12, Glasgow have the opportunity to break further new ground when they face Bath.
Fresh from recording a best-ever unbeaten run in the PRO12, Glasgow have the opportunity to break further new ground when they face Bath.
The Round 6 fixture presents Sean Lineen's men with the chance to record a first away win on English soil in the competition, a feat that would keep alive their hopes of claiming an Amlin Challenge Cup quarter-final spot.
Glasgow lost narrowly on both their previous Heineken Cup visits to the Rec, 35-31 in season 2008/9 and 31-26 in 2005/6. They did, however, win the first of this season's meetings between the teams, 26-21 at Firhill last November.
"We know our chance of making the Heineken quarter-finals has gone, but make no mistake, this is another huge game for us this weekend," head coach Lineen told www.glasgowwarriors.org.
"There is a massive amount at stake in any number of senses. First and foremost, we need to win to give ourselves a chance in terms of the Amlin quarter-finals, while beating a Premiership team on their own patch would be a significant achievement in itself.
"Bath are a tremendous, proud club with great traditions. They set the standard for clubs like ourselves in terms of where we aspire to get to. They'll be hungry to finish their Heineken campaign with a strong performance, so we know just how tough it will be to achieve the right result.
"We were very frustrated not to beat the reigning European champions [Leinster] last week, and I'm delighted the players aren't satisfied by having run a quality side like that so close. We want to be winning these big games, and it's important we set down a marker this weekend for the battles that are coming our way in the RaboDirect PRO12."
Lineen has kept faith with the side that went down 23-16 to the Dubliners last Sunday, the only changes to his 23 coming on the bench, with Ryan Wilson, Peter Murchie and Henry Pyrgos in for Johnnie Beattie (elbow), Troy Nathan (back) and Colin Gregor respectively.
Gregor, a contracted Scotland 7s player, has returned to the 7s squad to continue preparations for the forthcoming Wellington and Las Vegas legs.
"With the intensity and physicality of modern professional rugby, especially the Heineken Cup, it's quite unusual to send out exactly the same XV two weeks in a row, but this group made clear what they can do last weekend and they deserve the opportunity to help us go that one step further on Saturday," he said.
"As our record in England shows, it takes something really special to win on a Premiership ground: the challenge is to do something we've never done before, and we need everyone to rise to that."
Meanwhile, Bath have made eight changes to the starting line-up that faced Montpellier last weekend.
Jack Cuthbert comes in at full-back, and Matt Carraro returns to the wing, with Tom Biggs lining up on the opposite side. Olly Barkley and Matt Banahan combine in the centres once again.
Stephen Donald and Chris Cook form a new half-back partnership, starting a game together for the first time.
Pieter Dixon comes back into the starting line-up, scrumming down with Charlie Beech and David Wilson either side of him. Dave Attwood and Ryan Caldwell continue in the engine room, with Andy Beattie, Guy Mercer and Ben Skirving forming a new backrow.
There is also a welcome return to the match-day squad for Lee Mears, who is named on the bench.
The teams:
Bath: 15 Jack Cuthbert, 14 Matt Carraro, 13 Olly Barkley, 12 Matt Banahan, 11 Tom Biggs, 10 Stephen Donald, 9 Chris Cook, 8 Ben Skirving, 7 Guy Mercer, 6 Andrew Beattie, 5 Ryan Caldwell, 4 David Attwood, 3 David Wilson, 2 Pieter Dixon, 1 Charlie Beech.
Replacements: 16 Lee Mears, 17 David Flatman, 18 Anthony Perenise, 19 Francois Louw, 20 Simon Taylor, 21 Michael Claassens, 22 Tom Heathcote, 23 Sam Vesty.
Glasgow: 15 Rory Lamont, 14 Tommy Seymour, 13 Stuart Hogg, 12 Graeme Morrison, 11 Colin Shaw, 10 Duncan Weir, 9 Chris Cusiter, 8 John Barclay, 7 Chris Fusaro, 6 Rob Harley, 5 Al Kellock (capt), 4 Richie Gray, 3 Ed Kalman, 2 Pat MacArthur, 1 Jon Welsh.
Replacements: 16 Dougie Hall, 17 Gordon Reid, 18 Ryan Grant, 19 Tom Ryder, 20 Henry Pyrgos, 21 Ryan Wilson, 22 Peter Murchie, 23 Scott Wight.

Three months after water poured down onto Nicolet High School's theater stage like a waterfall, 14 young actors and actresses will perform - on schedule - the school's fall production.
Though the production includes a man who believes he has lost his treasure and a family reunited after being separated at sea, the cast is not performing the story of how their theater was soaked during the July floods, which also destroyed 80% of the school. Instead, the troupe is performing "The Miser," a 17th-century comedy that revolves around a penny-pinching man and how his miserliness affects his family and household.
While every production gives the students a sense of pride, those involved said they were especially proud of this one. In the storms, water rushed into the school from all directions, submerging the basement in six feet of water and covering the main level with a few inches. The theater is on the school's main level, but backstage included a tunnel to the basement, where props and other items were stored.
"My 28 years of collecting props and furniture, everything was pretty much destroyed," said Kenn Miller, director of theatre arts at Nicolet.
Lost among the collection were several period pieces, including an antique Victrola phonograph, a sofa from the 1920s valued at $1,000 and a settee couch and matching chairs from the 1890s. The basement also was home to the dressing rooms, filled with costume makeup, and three rooms filled to the brim with props, including antique wine and alcohol bottles, lamps and "just about anything you can imagine."
"It's barren down there," said Grace Hussey, a senior who has spent time on the stage and behind the scenes. "It's so depressing."
Miller said everything was "just sort of floating" after the flood hit. When items dried out, even if they looked all right, they were hauled into the parking lot and thrown into the Dumpster. The costumes, which were stored upstairs, were untouched.
When school officials announced that school would start two weeks late, Miller initially canceled the show. But he decided that the show must go on, so he reworked the schedule and chose a show that was not prop-heavy. Auditions were held during the second week of school.
"When I first heard the news, I thought we were sort of getting cheated out of senior year," said Noah Rowlett, a senior playing the lead role of Harpagon. "But once it all started to come together, I realized that wasn't really the case."
The basic set, built from scratch, remains static throughout the production and consists of a handful of furniture and props, a money box, a couple of chairs and three chandeliers, which were purchased. The winter musical this year will be "Urinetown," also known for having a static set and fewer props. After putting "The Miser" together, Hussey said, she's not worried about putting together the musical.
The theater productions weren't the only aspects of the drama department to be affected by the loss. Miller's theater and acting courses felt a hit because they rely heavily on having props at their disposal during class.
"It's sort of every man for himself now," said Steven Long, a sophomore playing Valere who is in one of Miller's classes this year. "You really have to find your own stuff, and you end up bringing a lot from home."
Miller said that while insurance had replaced a few items, he is still waiting for funding to search for replacements at consignment shops and garage sales.
The overall repairs at Nicolet cost about $9 million, most of which was covered by insurance and money from the Federal Emergency Management Agency. The school replaced flooring in almost the entire building, purchased two new boilers at $160,000 each, bought new football equipment, and repaired three of the school's main electrical units.
Who: Nicolet High School drama club
What: "The Miser"
When: The cast will begin technical dress rehearsals on Sunday. The play opens Thursday. The show runs Nov. 4, 5 and 6 beginning at 7:30 p.m. and Nov. 7 beginning at 2 p.m.
Where: Nicolet High School, 6701 N. Nicolet Road, Glendale

Skip to comments.Billy Graham takes full-page ad in Ohio newspaper to back Romney
Posted on 10/22/2012 11:40:29 AM PDT by SeekAndFind
COLUMBUS, Ohio -- In the heart of one of the nations most contested states, newspaper readers awoke Sunday to a full-page plea from Americas most famous evangelist to vote for Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney. Sort of.
The full-page ad in the Columbus Dispatch featured a black-and-white photo of the Rev. Billy Graham, with a brief text burned into the dark background in white letters over Grahams signature.
On Nov. 6, the day before my 94th birthday, read Grahams message, our nation will hold one of the most critical elections in my lifetime. We are at a crossroads and there are profound moral issues at stake. I strongly urge you to vote for candidates who support the biblical definition of marriage between a man and a woman, protect the sanctity of life and defend our religious freedoms. The Bible speaks clearly on these crucial issues. Please join me in praying for America, that we will turn out hearts back toward God.
It was as close to an endorsement of Romney as Graham could get without explicitly saying so.
In May, President Obama declared his support for gay marriage rights, and he has always supported abortion rights. In January, he was accused of trampling on religious freedom when his administration got into a tangle with religious organizations over whether they should be forced to offer health insurance plans to employees that cover contraception and abortion.
Romney opposes gay marriage. Although he was in favor of abortion rights earlier in his political career, has renounced that position and opposes abortion in almost all cases.
This is not the first such ad that Graham has purchased in recent days.
(Excerpt) Read more at latimes.com ...
The ad doesn't even mention Romney.
It doesn't have to.
It's amazing how long he's been around. He got in trouble once for praying on the south lawn after meeting with Harry Truman. His parents made he and his sister drink beer (I think) until they threw up after prohibition was repealed. And he vowed when he was very young to never be in a room alone with a woman who was not his wife to resist temptation.
In September, Franklin Graham had published an essay in USA Today that heartily endorsed Romney. In it, he sought to defuse concerns about Romney's Mormonism, arguing that it should not be an obstacle for evangelical Christians, many of whom do not consider the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to be a Christian denomination.
As for having to mention Romney.... well, we can draw a very easy inference from the ad itself...
Which of the two Presidential and Vice Presidential candidates:
1) Openly supports Israel and does not show hostility towards her?
2) Promises to the sanctity of life.
3) Will protect the traditional understanding of marriage as between a man and a woman.
Anybody who answers Obama/Biden to the above question must have been asleep the past 4 years.
I posted this ad on my facebook. Hopefully, others will do the same thing.
This will be a clincher for a lot of people. These is a heavy endorsement. He has moral fiber and character authority to speak with a voice of much experience. I think this will tip the scales of OHIO just as much as the debate tonight
I will too.
I agree. That certainly isn't going to apply to one of the candidates.
And, Chavez, , Putin & Castro back Obunny!
" These is a heavy endorsement. He has moral fiber and character authority to speak with a voice of much experience. I think this will tip the scales of OHIO just as much as the debate tonight"
Even those who don't care for Billy, or of another religious persuasion, know the man has lived a clean, honorable life. This will help.
Me too!
Full page ad like that in the Tampa Bay Times this morning...used to be St. Pete Times, they changed the name, but did not change their liberal views.
"It doesnt have to."
As it shouldn't because the Romney vs Obama race is just one of many at all different levels.
Traditional marriage support should be pushed at ALL levels of government....by those seeking office.
Good point.
It might help people to look at House & Senate candidates, and use the same criteria.
Pastors are completely within their rights as Americans citizens to speak frankly about the candidates.
Freedom of Speech was designed to protect political speech of all citizens.
Just because someone has a tax-free status does not take away their right to Free Political Speech,
no matter how much some stupid liberal bonehead says it does.
Same ad ran in the papers up here in NE Wisconsin.
God bless you, Reverend Graham.
A reminder that all of us need to be praying for Romney leading up to and during tonight's debate.
I'm sure Rev. Graham will be.
Yes, and I wish they'd start in my state.
Same full page article in Lansing State Journal in Michigan this morning
I still have a place in CA. Can't bring myself to leave entirely, until I'm certain it is a lost cause.
I think this will put Romney over the top. There's a lot of Evangelicals in Ohio that don't dig the Morman thing. This'll help push them towards Romney.
The rabid anti-Romney Mormon haters will be hijacking this thread in 3 - 2 - 1...
Why would you strive to hijack this thread by making such a provocative, widespread, attack against freepers?
And dont even get me started on Paul Ryan. If Romney is elected and should die in office, the very first thing Ryan will do is call the Pope in Rome, you know the Whore of Babylon to get his marching orders and the next thing you know, it will be the Inquisition all over again.
(Do I really need a sarcasm tag here?)
You left out the re-enactment of the Meadows Massacre when Mitt did to Worcester what Assad did to Hama.
I am starting to think that maybe I am becoming psychic. How did I know that Ansel12 and Patton@Bastogne would be spouting off just seconds after I posted? I don't know... but it is a little scary? I was just thinking of the most provocative, widespread, attackers against their fellow freepers and poof... amazing!
Your post 26 was troll like spouting off, my post 27 was simply pointing out what a strange thing it is for you to try and hijack the the thread by attacking freepers in general, like that.
You seem to want to do the old troll act of looking for fights.
When I saw your post I thought of the kid in the movie that said, "I see dead people."
On another note, I suspect Christ, our Lord and Savior, would be disappointed in anyone that did not do his best to rid America of Obama that supports live birth abortion. But I digress...
God bless you, Reverend Graham.
Anyone wanting to find some good examples of questionable behavior only needs to click on your name in the "from" box at the top of one of your posts and then go see what you have been up to. My, my, my haven't you been busy trying to discourage your fellow freepers from voting for the only man who currently has a chance of sending Obama packing.
That is pretty strange behavior from someone accusing others of being a troll. I do my best to avoid responding to you because no one here actually takes your divisive and hurtful posts seriously anyway, but sometimes your hypocracy is a little too much to take. You hate Mormons far more than you care about the fate of additional millions of unborn children and the future of our great republic. You are a sad and hateful creature aren't you?
If you keep insisting, then sure, I'll join your thread.
Did you know that the pro-abortion Mitt Romney has rejected the republican pro-life platform?
Were you aware that he had reverted to his pro-abortion position?
If I remember correctly, it's a great area.
Obama has been the most pro-abortion president in the history of our great nation. If reelected... he will most likely have the opportunity to nominate two more radicals to the Supreme Court. Virtually every national pro-life organization in the country is endorsing Romney; virtually every national pro-choice organization is supporting Obama. You are here spreading lies in an attempt to suppress your fellow Freepers' votes. You are actively working to get Obama four more years. Your efforts are intended to help Obama flush the futures of our children and grandchildren down the toilet.
Yeah, far enough away from L.A. : )
All the 'bitter clingers' get the ad...
Here's a video you might enjoy - or need to see...
This video includes 'the bow' - ' freeer after the election' - Rev Wright - trashing Netanyahu and Israel etc...
Post 38 was very short, yet you refused/could not answer it.
Which one is the "lie"?
"Did you know that the pro-abortion Mitt Romney has rejected the republican pro-life platform?"
"Were you aware that he had reverted to his pro-abortion position?"
I agree. It's a very powerful endorsement.
Very very funny... I posted a link which answered in detail. Did you watch it? No, I didn't think so.
No, we don't come to freerepublic to be sent to links to watch videos by people who can't post anything useful themselves.
Post 38 was very short, yet you refused/could not answer it.

Ansel, Nothing that you write is useful to 99% of the people here. My guess is that the only reason you are allowed to keep posting your dull witted anti-conservative drivel is because it helps the rest of us feel good about the level of incompetence on the other side.
Just for laughs I will take your bait... no matter how you twist them both of your statements are lies. Here is that link again to the video that you are afraid to watch from a leading pro-life Romney critic, Janet Porter and her anti-abortion group Faith 2 Action. The video does a very detailed job of refuting both of your lies.
How is quoting Romney a lie?
August 27, 2012 CBS interview.
PELLEY: Well, the platform as written at this convention for the Republicans does not allow for exceptions on abortion with regard to the health of the mother or rape or incest. Is that where you are?
ROMNEY: No. My position has been clear throughout this campaign. Im in favor of abortion being legal in the case of rape and incest, and the health and life of the mother.
Bravo! Bravo! So lets all get behind your candidate, a man who supports not only late term abortions, and partial birth abortions, but also leaving live baby's to die in the back room? You really have shown us big time today. What is that you say? Obama is not your candidate? Well then why does nearly everything that you post here try to discourage others from voting for the only person who currently has a chance of beating him? Your current posts are working against everything that those who frequent this website are fighting against.
Yeah, post 48 is damning, no wonder it overwhelms you.

Martin and Lessard post season high ninth on World Tour
STARE JABLONKI, Poland – Marie-Andrée Lessard of Ville LaSalle, Que., and Annie Martin of Sherbrooke, Que., posted a season high ninth place finish at the 12th stop on the beach volleyball World Tour Circuit.
The competition was also part of the Grand Slam Series which nearly doubled the prize money to $300,000 for both the men and women.
On Friday, Lessard and Martin, seeded 26th, opened the day with a 31-29, 21-13 victory over Hana Klapalove and Lenka Hajeckova of the Czech Republic in the first round of the playoffs which put the Canadians in the round of 16.
In their second match, Lessard and Martin fell to Ekaterina Khomyakova and Anastasia Vasina of Russia 16-21, 21-16, 15-11.
"We are very pleased," said Lessard. "Our goal was to be in the top-16. We relied a lot of on our defence to win that first game against the Czechs and Annie served very well. The Russian girls were very tall and their physical game went against us."
The Canadians had a bye to the main draw and went 2-1 in round robin play beating two teams ranked in the top-10. They earned $8,000 in prize money for this week's performance.
The next stop on the circuit goes next week in Kristiansand, Norway.

Argentina came from behind to snatch a dramatic 23-20 win over France in the first game of their two-Test series on Saturday.
Argentina came from behind to snatch a dramatic 23-20 win over France in the first game of their two-Test series at Estadio Mario Alberto Kempes in Córdoba on Saturday.
The visitors looked to have their first victory on Argentine soil since 1998 wrapped up until Pumas wing Manuel Montero burst clear in the 77th minute to score the winning try.
France led 14-13 at the end of a scrappy first half thanks to a try from Louis Picamoles but their advantage should have been a lot larger after the visitors left eleven points by wayside with some below-par kicking.
Indeed, les Bleus will harbour a number of regrets as they produced far more on attack than their hosts and were never seriously threatened on defence. But the tourists were their own worst enemies, committing a plethora of unforced errors and failing to close out a game that was well within their reach.
In typical fashion, Argentina used their tried-and-tested spoiling tactics to frustrate the French while Felipe Contepomi kept the scoreboard ticking with his trusty boot.
It wasn't pretty and penalties were in abundance. It took just three minutes for the first three points to be scored via France scrum-half Morgan Parra.
Los Pumas struck back immediately when wing Belisario Agulla intercepted a careless pass from Francois Trinh-Duc to race home untouched.
Contepomi added the extras but another Parra penalty left the scores at 7-6. The French were happy to keep kicking at goal – despite the jeers from the raucous crowd – but Parra's third shot from the tee drifted wide, as did a drop from Florian Fritz.
The French were looking dangerous with ball in hand. The current trend in French rugby to continually look for sucker-punch three-pointers instead to pushing for tries is a source of immense frustration.
Contepomi missed from inside his own half but Parra had no such problems when the Pumas failed to roll away (again) and the scrum-half gave France a two-point lead in the 22nd minute.
The stop-start nature of the clash saw the hosts move straight back in front though as Contepomi found the mark two minutes later.
Les Bleus replied with a fantastic try. Full-back Brice Dulin bust clear only to be stopped two metres short. Trinh-Duc's cross-field kick found Yoann Huget, who flipped it back to Picamoles volleyball-style and no one was going to stop the charging number eight from scoring.
Parra missed the conversion and another relatively easy penalty, meaning Contepomi was able to cut the gap to just a single point on the stroke of half time.
The French opened a seven-point gap as Parra found the mark soon after the restart before adding another three pointer when Pumas flank Tomas Leonardi was sent to the sin bin for a blatant offside when France were in full flight.
Les Bleus were unable to make their numerical advantage count however and Contepomi was again on target to leave the scores at 20-16 going into the final quarter.
Frederic Michalak had came on for Trinh-Duc as the French went in search of the killer blow. Indeed the winning score would come from a move initiated by Michalak, but for the wrong team.
The Toulon-bound playmaker made a darting run into the Pumas 22 but Fulgence Ouedraogo was unable to hang onto the offload. The ball was snapped up by the men in white and quickly sent out to Montero, who turned on the afterburners and sprinted 70m to score.
France had a late tilt at the Pumas defence but the game ended – appropriately – with yet another French knock-on.
The rematch is next Saturday in Tucaman.
Man of the match: What would Argentina do without Felipe Contepomi?
Moment of the match: Huget's pass inside to set up Picamoles was classic but it was outdone by Montero's try which sent the Córdoba crowd wild.
The scorers:
For Argentina:
Tries: Agulla, Montero
Cons: Contepomi 2
Pens: Contepomi 3
For France:
Try: Picamoles
Pens: Parra 5
Yellow cards: Leonardi (Argentina – 53rd min – cynical offside)
Argentina: 15 Roman Miralles, 14 Belisario Agulla, 13 Joaquin Tuculet, 12 Felipe Contepomi (c), 11 Manuel Montero, 10 Ignacio Mieres, 9 Martin Landajo, 8 Tomas Leonardi, 7 Tomas De la Vega, 6 Julio Farias Cabello, 5 Esteban Lozada, 4 Benjamin Macome, 3 Nahuel Tetaz Chaparro, 2 Bruno Postiglioni, 1 Eusebio Guinazu.
Replacements: 16 Andres Bordoy, 17 Pablo Henn, 18 Rodrigo Bruno, 19 Rodrigo Baez, 20 Tomas Cubelli, 21 Benjamin Urdapilleta, 22 Facundo Barrea.
France: 15 Brice Dulin, 14 Jean Marcellin Buttin, 13 Wesley Fofana, 12 Florian Fritz, 11 Yoann Huget , 10 Francois Trinh-Duc, 9 Morgan Parra , 8 Louis Picamoles, 7 Fulgence Ouedraogo, 6 Wenceslas Lauret, 5 Yoan Maestri, 4 Pascal Pape (c), 3 David Attoub, 2 Dimitri Szarzewski, 1 Yvan Watremez.
Replacements: 16 Christopher Tolofua, 17 Vincent Debaty, 18 Romain Taofifenua, 19 Alexandre Lapandry, 20 Maxime Machenaud, 21 Frederic Michalak, 22 Maxime Mermoz.
Venue: Estadio Mario Alberto Kempes, Córdoba

Texas High School Coaches Face Fines after Fried Chicken Fundraiser
(KPRC) High school sports are huge in Texas and so are school booster clubs, which sell snacks and treats as a quick and easy way to raise money.
However, some school districts are being fined because some of the snacks they sell have broken nutritional rules meant to combat childhood obesity.
The rules and regulations handed down by the Texas Department of Agriculture are not new, but they are now being heavily enforced.
Audits and random checks are picking up pricey violations.
Although fried chicken may sound like a tasty snack, it got a Westbury High School coach in trouble when he tried to sell it on campus to raise funds for his team.
Westbury High School and Bellaire High were among the eight Houston schools who faced fines totaling $73,000 for violating Texas Department of Agriculture regulations.
Brian Giles is Senior Administrator of Food Services for the Houston Independent School District.
"Those guidelines include the nutrition content of the things that are sold outside the school cafeteria," said Giles. "They include the time and the place those things are sold. They also require that nutrition information is provided for those items."

Last but not least we make our rating for our stay in Deborah's house in July/August 2014. Sorry delay Deborah.
Deborah's guest house near Hollywood/LA/Pasadena is very beautyful. We enjoyed our stay very much. The house and the garden are very quiet and nice. Deborah was a very friendly and sympathetic host. Thank you very much Deborah!
If we ever come back to LA, we will try to stay there again.
Greetings from snowy Switzerland.
My girlfriend, our son (7 months old) and me stayed here for 10 days in October 2014.
Deborah has a very nice and indeed a very cozy garden, house(s) and surroundings. She was very welcoming and we were allowed to use the entire garden - which is huge! She also has four dogs, a couple of cats and some chickens. Very relaxed and safe - and still able to go to other parts of L.A. within reasonable time.
The house/cottage itself has a good size with a large living room, a decent kitchen and a separate bed room and bathroom.
Deborah gave us honey from the bees on the premises and fresh organic eggs - very nice!
Would be more than happy to stay there again!
First off, i would like to recommend this property to everyone and anyone who would like to have a totally relaxing and soothing stay!!
We had the most wonderful experience staying in this property we could not find enough words to describe it. But we will try our best so that we can share our experience and people will be able to know about this "best kept secret".
This is the first time that me and my family tried staying in a property that is not a hotel. So we were quite nervous at the start, because we do not know what to expect. However our nervousness was quickly replaced by happiness and awe as soon as we stepped onto her wonderful property.
The property is a 3 acre (yes! 3 acres) lush greenery with hundreds of different kinds of flowers, fruit trees, vegetable bushes and trees. This is all a product of Deborah's 16 years of hard work and dedication to beautifying her garden.
So you can just imagine the number of different kinds of birds that visit her place....i lost count, however, i was happy to see hummingbirds for the first time, not to mention hawks, eagles, and several other colorful birds that i do not know.
We also had a chance to taste the different fruit and vegetables that was graciously shared to us by Ms Deborah like the peaches, apples, grapes, tomatoes, squash. Not to mention the fresh eggs that she shared to us from her very own chickens.
We also got to know her 4 pet dogs that were all so friendly and lovely.
Although the property is around 30 minutes from the city, it is still a very easy drive with not much traffic. There is also a 7/11 store that is just at the end of the street and there is also a Ralphs store and a Sunland Produce market that sells fresh fruits and vegetables at very cheap and affordable prices.
We had our own kitchen, so we could cook whatever food we liked to eat. There was a bedroom with a queen size bed. and a sofabed in the living room and a patio overlooking the garden. There was cable TV and so much space in the gardens for you to meditate or just enjoy the view. There was more than enough towels, plus there is a washer and dryer in a separate building as well. There was a parking slot provided just outside the property, however there is no phone. (but i had an AT&T mobile phone that was working fine with strong signal)
Overall, we really enjoyed our stay in this property and we will cherish the memories that we had and more importantly the friendships that we have made.
Thank you Ms Deborah and Mr. Herman!

Comfortable and Quirky
"Extremely comfortable shoes. Look dressy enough to wear to work and hip enough to wear out and about. The only "quirk" about them is because of the shape of the tongue - it is slightly 'U' shaped - my dress pants will sometimes get caught on one of the ends of the 'U' instead of breaking on top of the shoe. This isn't as big of a deal with jean, since jeans are a little heavier and don't get caught as easily. This is the ONLY thing about these shoes that is slightly annoying. Even with that small annoyance I would definitely recommend these versatile shoes."

The retailer automates image production using technology from Equilibrium.
Amy Dusto
Hayneedle Inc., which operates home furnishings and décor web site Hayneedle.com along with such niche e-commerce sites, as Hammocks.com and Cribs.com, would be unable to keep the millions of images it manages up to date without technology from automated image-optimization vendor Equilibrium, says Brian Sullivan, user experience architect at Hayneedle.
"With hundreds of niche sites and over a million product photos, it's easy to see how managing multiple files for every photo just isn't realistic, especially when it comes to changing site designs and needing additional sizes," Sullivan says.
Hayneedle runs Equilibrium's MediaRich software on its servers. The software optimizes and serves images on Hayneedle's product pages, promotional banners, logos and anywhere else there is a graphic that the retailer would otherwise design using a product like Adobe Systems Inc.'s Photoshop, Sullivan says.
To use MediaRich, Hayneedle loads one master image into the server, then the software automatically adjusts it to fit the size and graphics properties needed for its use anywhere on the site, he says, "from the smallest thumbnail to the largest image on the product page, so the customer can pan and zoom to see every detail."
The system also can customize the color, font, text and other visual features of an image, as well as combine multiple images or logos into a banner, Sullivan says. "This all happens in the blink of the eye without a designer ever having to open Photoshop to create anything," he says.
Hayneedle also uses MediaRich to create personalized graphics in e-mails and on site, and customized banners for its affiliates, Sullivan says. For example, MediaRich can update images for a customer viewing them on site to show her, for example, how an item might look in a particular color or style, or with her personalized engraving on it, he says.
The software can generate 10,000 or more unique banners for all its affiliates after Hayneedle sets up MediaRich to create one template banner, he says. That feat would be impossible to do manually, he adds. "It may take a couple hours to design, approve and load a few banners, but with MediaRich I can create endless permutations."
Sullivan declines to share exactly how much Hayneedle pays for MediaRich, but says it is a fraction of the cost of competitor Adobe's Scene7 software. The software pricing depends on the number of servers on which a retailer needs to run it and how many images it manages, he says.
Apparel retailer Bluefly Inc., which also uses MediaRich, says the optimized images have led to consumers putting more items into their shopping carts, fewer returns and increased customer satisfaction, says Marty Keane, vice president of product development. "With products such as apparel, the ability to see product detail is a critical factor to increase sales and minimize returns," he says.
Hayneedle is No. 84 in the 2013 edition of the Internet Retailer Top 500. Bluefly is No. 206.

In a GNU/Linux system every file or folder has some access permissions. There are three types of permissions (what allowed to do with a file of any kind, directory included):
(r)read access
(w)write access
(e)execute access
There are also other "special" permissions, but for this article the basic permissions will be enough to illustrate how umask works, and the permissions are defined for three types of users:
(U) the owner of the file
(G) the group that the owner belongs to
(O) All the other users
umask (user mask) is a command and a function in POSIX environments that sets the file mode creation mask of the current process which limits the permission modes for files and directories created by the process. A process may change the file mode creation mask with umask and the new value is inherited by child processes.
In practice with umask you can define the permissions of the new files that your process will create.

Very comfortable but the memory foam gets stained
"I got this for my hubby and he just loved it. They are very comfy and stylish . But the memory foam sole gets old/stained by your foot impressions after few wears."

Very Comfortable
"The shoes are true to size and very comfortable. The insole is soft and does not make my feet hot. They are decent-looking casual sandals.I've found in other leather sandals that the leather cuts into my ankle, but these do not.The sole is quite comfortable. I walk around NYC daily in the summer 3-5 miles/day, and these sandals keep my feet cool and comfortable all day.I have had them since 2009 and am now buying a second pair of the same shoe. They've not worn out yet, but I am just beginning to see wear on the rubber sole, so I want to make certain that I have a back-up pair of my favorite sandal just in case."

The Castle Dale Arena played host to an amazing barrel race recently. One hundred fifty one barrel racers competed for a total purse of $4,136 in three different races. Barrel racers came from Utah , Wyoming and Colorado to earn money for the coalminers involved in the Crandall Canyon Collapse.
A silent auction was open to the public and held during the barrel race. There were four stallion breeds, two full size hand tied quilts, numerous baby quilts, hand made necklaces, home d�cor items, horse tack and other items all donated. All proceeds went to the miners.
T-shirts bearing the words Coal Miner's Benefit Barrel Race were sold, traded and given out to benefit the cause.
This whole idea came about at the suggestion of a good friend of barrel producer Amy Adams. Amy mentioned to other barrel racers and barrel race producers that she was thinking of doing a benefit race and the help and donations started coming in.
Within 24 hours all the added money for the race had been donated. Barrel racers across Utah, Colorado, Idaho and Wyoming helped with the cause.
The Adams family passed out black and yellow ribbons in support of the miners at a recent race in Salina. The donations and warm wishes that came from the small gesture were overwhelming. Barrel racers were donating the checks that they won at the race as did many of the runners at the benefit on Saturday.
All money raised was donated to the coal miners benefit accounts. The producers Amy Adams and Shaunalee Hinkins along with all their family members would like to extend a huge appreciaton to all that helped make this an overwhelming success.
Races on the day of the benefit included a PeeWee race that included many of our local up and coming riders around the age of 8. Competitors received a gold medal for their efforts. Posting the fast times were Hadley Cloward and Hanna Nielsen both from Castle Dale.
The Open 4D race saw 73 competitors competing. Chablee Padgett from Coalville came to dominate, break, and set a new arena record. Winning the race with a 16.693 she shattered the existing arena record of 16.813 set at the Race for the Green in March. Second was Cindy Williams of Vernal. Places were paid to five with Barbara Merrill, Axtell, Destiny Crane, Salina, and McKet Young, Price rounding out the top five in the first division.
The second division was won with a 17.332 Gayla Schaefer from Fruita, Colo. took the first place win, second Angie McCourt, Price, Teigan Adams, Castle Dale, Shawnalee Hinkins, Ferron, and Amy Adams where the five taking home checks in the second division.
Lacey Shaheen coming from, Salina brought together the T-shirt drive and got everyone outfitted in the cool gray with black and yellow T-shirts. Lacey took the third division win for her efforts. Sheri Reel, Mapleton was second, Jolene Farnsworth, Roosevelt, third, fourth Cindy Shumway, Delta, and Linda Ivie, Duchesne, were the successful five in the third division.
Billie Farnsworth from Roosevelt piloted a horse owned by local Emery County owner Roanna Rich for the 4D championship. Anna Marie Vail donated two stallion breeds for the silent auction and picked up a check for second place. Anna Marie traveled here in the early morning hours from Erda. Kathy Price, Price, Shelly Anderson, Ogden, and HarLee Reynolds from Jensen rounded out those successful in picking up a win in the Open 4D.
The under 18 and over 40 years of age race saw Cindy Williams taking the 1D win with Barbara Merril and Sheri Reel right behind them.
Teigan Adams, 13 years old took the 2D win with mom Amy Adams and Ashtyn Hammer from Moab right behind her.
Jazmine Jones came from Tabiona to run a 17.912 for the third division win. Savahna Hall, new to Castle Dale and Kim Moosman of Price were second and third.
Anna Marie Vail repeated a 4D win with Kathy Price and Bailey Hammer, Moab, rounding out those successful at picking up checks.
Thirty four runners competed in the $1,000 novice. They were running horses that have not won over $1,000 in their lifetime of running barrels. Jolene Farnworth was a repeat winner with her 17.327 run. Brenda Douglas who donated a stallion breed for the silent auction came from McKinnon, Wyo. for the second place 1D win. Karidon Allred, Orangeville was right behind her.
Cindy Williams won the 2D on a different horse from the one she rode in the 18/40 and open for wins. Martha Kilcrease, Price was second, Mike Ybarra, Wales finished third in the 2D.
Elsie Hussey came from Eagle Mountain to be successful in the 3D with an 18.493. Young Hadley Cloward from Castle Dale was second, Anna Marie Vail again picked up a check for third.
The 4D saw Sheri Reel, first, Ashlie Beckstead, Fairview second, Angie McCourt on a new horse captured third.
The barrel racers and supporters where treated to a barbeque beef sandwich with chips and drink put together by Jeanine Hinkins and crew. Much appreciation to them. All proceeds again went to the miners.
Kendra Rhodes presented a very large check to the race producer from the Castleview Physician's Society. It was included in the amount given to the miners fund.
The outpouring, warm wishes and concern shown before, during and after this race was overwhelming. Producer Amy Adams said she had never produced a race that came together so easily with some many contributing to its success. Conflicts with high school rodeo, the state fair and other races kept the numbers from being bigger but even the barrel racers that couldn't attend did what they could to help.
The Utah Barrel Racing Association held a fund drive and pledged to match the amount donated at two of their races since most of them felt they couldn't attend. Racing in the Rockies and Utah NBHA District 1 both made donations. Both are barrel race producers in Utah and Colorado. John Ewing Company and Professional Choice both sent products for the race and silent auction. There are so many more companies and individuals that they cannot be named but have been extended huge appreciation.
Look for more races to be held in the Castle Dale indoor arena. Joel Dorsch did a great job to make the arena a reality and this race great, safe ground is the key to any successful race.

Are conversions normally patched up with green stuff? Are there any alternatives if say, you don't want to buy that much green stuff?
It depends. With things like weapon swaps you might get away without any filling. But anything else? Yes, some filling or re-sculpting will be involved.
Like Serenity says, Green stuff remains slightly flexible after curing. Its also more elastic and adhesive than most putties when uncured, so it's the best for when you want to apply very small amounts at a time. I tend to use Milliput for anything structural, because it sets like concrete, and can be carved, sanded, sawn, drilled or filed afterwards. You can even do fun stuff like making your own weapon blades by roughly modelling the milliput around a wire core, then carving and filing them down to profile when they're cured.

Chapter 35
The Levites are to possess their own cities—Cities of refuge are established for those guilty of manslaughter—Murderers are to be executed by the revenger of blood.

2 Command the children of Israel, that they give unto the

4 And the suburbs of the cities, which ye shall give unto the Levites, shall reach from the wall of the city and outward a thousand cubits round about.
5 And ye shall measure from

8 And the cities which ye shall give shall be of the possession of the children of Israel: from them that have many ye shall give many; but from them that have few ye shall give few: every one shall give of his cities unto the Levites according to his inheritance which he inheriteth.
9 ¶And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
10 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye be come over Jordan into the land of Canaan;
11 Then ye shall appoint you cities to be cities of refuge for you; that the slayer may flee thither, which killeth any person
12 And they shall be unto you cities for refuge from the
13 And of these cities which ye shall give six cities shall ye have for refuge.
14 Ye shall give three cities on this side Jordan, and three cities shall ye give in the land of Canaan, which shall be cities of refuge.
15 These six cities shall be a refuge, both for the children of Israel, and for the

17 And if he smite him with throwing a stone, wherewith he may die, and he die, he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death.
18 Or if he smite him with an hand weapon of wood, wherewith he may die, and he die, he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death.

24 Then the congregation shall judge between the slayer and the revenger of blood according to these judgments:

Dyster: Might Not Respond To Casino Fire
Please enter your comments below.
Must want to get sued
First time someone is injured or dies due to the FD not responding there would be lawsuits left and right
What an idiot!
Dyster needs to read the Nation-State Gaming Compact(available online) before he opens his mouth. First of all the Senecas owe nothing to the city and never did. Under the terms of the compact the Senecas pay the STATE a specified % of their Class III gaming gross. The state in turn pays out a % of that revenue to the Falls, Buffalo and Salamanca; the Senecas have nothing to do with how much each location receives. There is no "direct pay" (to the cities) provision in the compact as far as I can see. The "quid pro quo" in the compact was that the state turned over its Class III gaming rights EXCLUSIVELY to the Seneca Gaming Corp in exchange for the previously mentioned cut of the Class III take at the Indian casinos. The compact specifies that, should the state violate its exclusivity grant, the state's right to receive and the Senecas obligation to pay the "contribution" (aka "the cut") shall cease; pending the outcome of the resolution process specified in the compact. Unfortunately the state has failed to actively participate in that process FOR THREE YEARS! Here's maybe why. Under that portion of the compact labeled "PARTY DISPUTE RESOLUTION, REMEDIES"; "The arbitrators shall EXEMPT the Nation from payment of the State Contribution for any breach of the State's commitments to EXCLUSIVITY as set forth in Paragraph 12(a)." In other words, should negotiations fail, and the dispute process advance to arbitration (as is specified in the compact), a finding under arbitration that the state violated its exclusivity promise could have only one outcome; that the state would forfeit its contractual % of the Class III gross. Of course the money that the cities would have subsequently received from the state would disappear too. If the Senecas should elect to directly pay the cities the money that the state would normally forward to them (that could open a can of worms contractually speaking), who would be responsible to pay back the Senecas should an arbitrator ultimately rule that the state violated its exclusivity grant and thus was owed NOTHING from the Seneca Gaming Corp? I doubt that an otherwise broke city could round up the $60 million needed to be returned to the Senecas!

We love to travel, and we love denim. So it only makes sense that we'd brush up on ways to say "jeans" the world over, so that we may inquire with locals in various countries as per where to score some international denim. Going somewhere soon? Take a look at this list below for a rundown of languages and the translation of the J word.
In Greek jeans are known as τζίν.
Editor's note: One of our Greek friends suggests "τζινς or τζινζ" instead.
In Bulgarian jeans are known as дънки (Bulgarian transliteration of donkey, but perhaps from English "dungarees").
In Chinese niuzaiku (SC: 牛仔裤, TC: 牛仔褲), literally, "cowboy pants" (trousers), indicating their association with the American West, cowboy culture, and outdoors work.
In Danish cowboybukser meaning "cowboy pants".
In Dutch, jeans are often known as 'spijkerbroek' meaning "nail trousers", referring to the copper studs on riveted jeans.
In Finnish, jeans are usually known as "farkut", short for "farmarihousut" ("farmer's trousers" in English.)
In Hungarian name for jeans is "farmer" (short for "farmernadrág", meaning "farmer's trousers").
In Korean, jeans are known as "cheong baji" (청바지), meaning "blue trousers".
In Norwegian "dongeribukse" or "olabukse". "Dongeri" is adapted from English "dungaree," and "bukse" is Norwegian for "pants". The prefix Ola is used to describe the average Norwegian person. According to the Norwegian Language Council, the term "olabukse" was coined by Tor Wessel Kildal, when introducing jeans to Norwegian consumers, targeting young males (10-12 years).
In Puerto Rican Spanish as mahones.
In Serbian jeans are known as "фармерке" or "farmerke" (Serbian transliteration of farmer's trousers).
In Spanish they are mostly known as jeans, but are also called vaqueros ("cowboys") or tejanos ("Texans").
In Arabic they are pronounced as English but in Arabic letters جينز
In Turkish as "kot"
In Polish as "dżins" pronounced like in English
In Slovak language as džínsy
In Russian as "джинсы"
In Slovene (or Slovenian) "jeans" are called normally: kavbojke (which comes from kavboj (Engl.: cowboy), so the "trousers worn by cowboys"), or also džins. ** Reader submission from Sara
Information from Jeans.
As a side note, where phonetic translations are missing, we will be filling in shortly! If you know a missing phonetic translation, let us know!

Two Holyoke, Massachusetts City Council members overheard discussing the attractiveness of a pregnant colleague before a meeting on Tuesday could face censure. Councilors Daniel Bresnahan and Todd McGee made the comments in what they thought was a private conversation, but were caught on an open cable access microphone. Council President Kevin Jourdain says he's asked the city's personnel administrator to determine if the councilors' comments violated any city policies. He says Bresnahan and McGee did violate a council rule.
"We have a rule that states you're not to refer to any other members other than in positive terms, and clearly that didn't happen," Jourdain says. "So the rules of the City Council were violated, no question."
Jourdain says he will decide whether to pursue a censure when he hears if city policies were violated, likely within two weeks. He says because they are elected officials, Bresnahan and McGee cannot be fired or otherwise disciplined. According to Masslive, the two have apologized for their comments, saying they were taken out of context and were not meant to be offensive.
