On the Matt Stajan Scratch
Kent Wilson
December 14 2010 06:54PM
Although the Flames have made a habit of scratching expensive defensemen this year, recently re-sisgned Matt Stajan has found himself in the stands for the last two contests. With the Flames winning the most recent game versus the Blue Jackets, it wouldn't surprise me if Stajan finds himself munching popcorn again on Thursday.
In fact, an extended winning streak during what might be the softest portion of the Flames schedule this year could potentially make what was previously the clubs de facto "#1 center" a regular observer. Hardly an ideal situation.
My opinion of Stajan hasn't changed much since I first saw him in Flames colors last year: he's just okay. He has some strengths (puck handling, vision) and some weaknesses (lackluster strength on his skates, terrible shot rate) that make the overall package acceptable if less than compelling.
He's an NHLer for sure and at best a complimentary center on a good team. If he's not overpaid for his contributions, the truth is he'll never be a bargain with his current $3.5 million ticket.
Like the player, Stajan's results this season are just okay. HIs possession rate is solidly mediocre (+4.06/60). His 16 points in 25 games is right in line with his career average of 50-ish per season.
He boasts the best ES scoring rate amongst regular Flames forwards this year (2.96/60) although the truth is that number is inflated by his team best on-ice SH% 12.4% and team high number of second assists. Let's just say, neither of those things are strong indicators of future offensive performance.
Stajan's shot rate has also fallen down to near goon-like levels this year, with just 28 in 25 games played (he had 0 shots in his last 4 games before being kicked to the press box). Although Stajan has always looked to pass first during his NHL career, his current shot rate (1.12/game) puts him in line for his lowest total since his sophomore season in 2005-06. On top of all that, he's played nearly a full hour on the PP and recorded nary a point.
On the other hand, I'm not sure what the club gains by keeping Stajan out of the active line-up. He's certainly not the worst player amongst the regular skaters (err...Tom Kostopolous anyone?). Other guys up front on this club - particualrly other big ticket forwards - have been allowed to "play through" rough stretches by Sutter, even extended periods of ineffectiveness *cough* Jokinen *cough*.
So I'm not quite sure what compels Sutter to keep Stajan in the dgohouse.
Like Vancouver and their overabundance of same-ish guys on defense, I suppose there was always a risk of a big ticket getting pushed down the depth chart here in Calgary a la Keith Ballard over there this season, but it still strikes me as a...curious use of an asset. And while I'm starting to get used to some $6M+ in cap space sitting in the press box every night,
I think it behooves the organization to find a use for the player on the ice or in the trade market here, sooner rather than later. The longer they fail to do the former, the more difficult the latter becomes, if being trade fodder is to be his ultimate fate.
Matt Stajan has the 56th highest cap hit amongst centremen in the league according to nhlnumbers.com. That would seem to make him an averagely paid 2nd line centre. Probably a few caveats that some ELCs are given cap hits at $3.725 but I think the general assessment stands.
Matt Stajan has the 48th most points in the league. That would seem to be a pretty average number for 2nd line centres at this point in the season, although admittedly some guys under him probably deliver more value in their own end of the rink.
It seems that Stajan has been delivering fairly closely in line with his value. My critique of Sutter on these deals is not that they are brutal overpays, but they are not bargains either.
The problem with this roster is too many of these middle rank guys. Even if we give Sutter the benefit of the doubt on the Langkow injury, our centre depth is a) Langkow, a 1st line-2nd line guy and paid like it - b) Stajan, a 2nd line guy and paid like it - c) Jokinen, a 2nd line falling off into 3rd line guy, and paid like it d) assorted random others (Backlund, Conroy, Morrison).
If we split the 50 minutes of ice time that the top 3 centres would get Langkow 20, Stajan 15, Jokinen 15. Lets assume the centremen are generally reflective of their lines abilities. that is 20 minutes where we might play the other teams best to even, 15 minutes where we would play the second best to even and 15 minutes where we should outplay the other teams third best. We could flip it around and give Langkow's line 10 of the 20 minutes against the other teams second line, but that would leave Calgary's second or third line exposed to the other teams first line. That strategy is a wash on average.
That basically means this team is constructed to win games in the 15 minutes or so that our third line is on the ice. And even then, only to a marginally better result on average. And it relies on Olli Jokinen.

butter says there are 2 reasons guys are scratched. either not playing to potential or hurt. si is this rule applied across the board? guess they expect more from mats.

By that logic one has to wondor how the h3ll mr Jokinen hasn't been scratched!
December 15 2010, 01:33PM
By that logic one has to wondor how the h3ll mr Jokinen hasn't been scratched!
logic? lol there is nothing logical or rational about the current flames.
Howse was our only prospect for the Canadian team.
I believe John Ramage will play for USA again, not sure if we have any prospects on other teams. Tried to search it but couldn't find anything.
I see Stajan with 150th points in that league (and 119th in PPG)????... AND that's only relying on the numbers without context. EDIT: ahhh, you're counting only centres. That makes sense.
As Kent pointed out, Stajan has an abundance of second assists...meaning, that he isn't driving plays with those points. (6 second assists)
So, he's playing first line minutes (mostly) and in 25 games he's got 1 goal and 9 first assists.
For someone playing with Iggy and Tanguay that just isn't enough.
1 goal, 9 assist players are 281 (80th for centres) in the league.
So Stajan certainly isn't as bad as 281 (cause those other guys have 2nd assists as well.) BUT, he may only be getting those assists cause he's playing with Iggy (5th pts - RW) and Tanguay (13th pts - LW). It's arguable, Stajan is not even 150th (48th by centres) in the league. That's maybe not second line centre level, and he's playing first.
Tanguay, on the other hand, has been amazing, and is likely our best value player.
Morrison? Top scoring centre - 18 points...5 goals. It's impressive. Does he get a shot on the first line? I'd prefer Backlund. Hell what have we got to lose. I say play Mikki's brains out.
December 15 2010, 02:57PM
I guess that's the point. Stajan is putting up 2nd line numbers while playing 1st line.
December 15 2010, 03:46PM
I think there a are a number of players who should be bought out, traded or put on waivers to make room on our cap. Moss may have some trade value but at 1.3 mil cap-hit and for someone who is on pace for 20 points is steep. Ivanans is finished as an enforcer in the NHL and needs to be dealt with as well. Maybe we can trade Bourque, Moss and Stajan for Spezza and Winchester?? To have a true number 1 center play with Iginla and Tanguay would be great to watch and maybe bring some stability to our 1st line. A lot of our secondary scoring woes (IMO) can be linked to Bourques inconsistent, and lazy play. I find that he has the ability to raise his line-mates game, as well as bring it down, and far too often I see the latter. This team has what it takes to be a contender and am baffled at how bad we are doing this year with the likes of Kipper and Iggy anchoring our team.
Yeah, my post said players but as you astutely pointed out I was only counting centres. Sorry for the confusion.
As for the second assists, I have no idea what the ratio is on average but this article sums up my thoughts on it: http://hockeynumbers.blogspot.com/2007/03/first-and-second-assists.html
I think the assessment of "playing 1st line minutes putting up 2nd line numbers" is fair, but we at least have to keep in mind he is doing it playing first line competition as well. behindthenet.ca has him at what would appear to be first line comp in the various Qualcomp stats amongst Calgary forwards.(I am ignoring the Raitis Ivanans Irregularity)
behindthenet.ca also has him at the 9th most Points/60 minutes of icetime amongst centres with minimum 5 games played at 2.95/60?! If that number is real, and the comp numbers are real (as opposed to some trick of the math), it seems to me that he is at least living up to the $3.5 million contract, but not exactly a value contract.
Brendan Morrison is doing it against lesser competition (12-9-12 in the various qual comp stats). A valuable skill, but I don't think it qualifies you for top line minutes.
Definitely agree on Tanguay. I liked that deal from day one.
December 15 2010, 06:40PM
Yeah, has anyone done any rigorous analysis of first assists vs second assists? A great breakout pass could end up as a second assist, or a good play in the zone that leads to a shot against the pads and a rebound goal, for example. Conversely, a first assist could be passing the puck two feet to your team's franchise forward followed by him skating it halfway up the rink and scoring, or a shot that misses the net unintentionally and gets picked up/converted by someone else.
Primary assists may well have more intrinsic value than secondary assists, but unless there's actual evidence of it recorded somewhere we may as well just call an assist an assist.
December 15 2010, 06:42PM
I heard Howse got cut from the Canadian junior team, are there any other Flames prospects playing in this years WJC? I'm also curious if you guys are planning any coverage or articles regarding that event? Maybe prospects that the Flames should be interested in should the season tank? I'm curious about your thoughts on who the Flames should draft if they were to finish bottom 10? I know there are proponents for Landeskog (Gange) and I have seen some highlights, I like his overall game, but he's a right winger. If we're drafting top 5 and he is a player that will be playing on your team next year, that might not be the best fit.
Nobody else playing for Canada, but Erixon will be playing for Sweden and Ramage might play for the US. Not sure if there's anyone else.

@ Lawrence.
I disagree that those who wanted Phaneuf traded shouldn't complain (except for your point of it being pointless because what's done is done).
I was in the camp to trade him, not because he sucked (and who ever knows about the "locker room" rumors), but because he wasn't as good as his cap hit and still had a name around the league as a blue chip defender. Even now people see him as that despite his really crappy start in TO. My guess is the Leafs could get more from him now than we did then despite him not showing much of anything recently. And no, I have no evidence to that. it's just a guess.
I see it as a mismanagement of assets. If DS needed to wait for his value to increase or for a GM to trade with who was desperate/gullible then he should have done so. You can disagree but it doesn't mean there is no argument to be critical.
And although the trade itself didn't return full value (perceived or real), the worst part is he traded for a)more of the same thing the team has plenty of, ie. decent players but not great, or b) players of a certain ilk that are not too difficult to acquire even if we did actually need them.
December 15 2010, 09:11PM
+1 to that. I'll admit I was a little too high on White when he came over initially, but he did play well for that last bit of the year. Still would've been optimal for Phaneuf+Aulie to have gotten a young top-6 forward and a forward prospect with a similar projected ceiling to Aulie's.

By PATSY STODDARDEditor
In Part III of On the Road, a three part series looking at transportation in Emery County, ATVs will be the topic of discussion. For the past two years, a subcommittee of the Emery County Public Lands Council has conducted a survey of all county roads and on a road by road basis has designated that road either open or closed to ATV traffic. A map has been prepared with roads open outlined in green and roads closed in red with three undecided roads outlined in orange. Orange roads include the Bott Lane, Buckhorn Draw road and the Ferron Canyon road from Ferron to the forest service boundary.
The ATV access subcommittee took the process as far as they were able to at which time their findings were given to the Emery County Commissioners for a decision. The commissioners appointed a safety committee to go over the findings of the access committee. After the safety committee completed their analysis, the findings were again brought back to the commissioners. The commission scheduled a public hearing for public comment on the draft OHV ordinance which was held on April 5.
The public hearing saw a full house of people speaking on their views of ATVs and county roads. Commissioner Ira Hatch, commission chairman, conducted the public hearing. He said a draft ordinance has been prepared and the final ordinance will be a governing document to the specifics of ATV use on county roads. Hatch said he viewed the final document as a fluid document where changes can be made as needed in the future as trails are developed.
Ray Petersen, public lands department director, began with an overview of the draft ordinance. He showed the maps of open and closed routes surrounding each of the communities in the county. "This is an important issue and a lot of work has gone into the draft ordinance." Petersen read the draft ordinance and the Utah state code in reference to ATVs and local ordinances.
Petersen stressed the point that the opening of any routes in cities is for the specific purpose of obtaining access to open public lands roads and trails. ATVs are not to be used to go to the post office. ATVs which are registered for husbandry use are exempt from the draft ordinance. The Bureau of Land Management and the forest service are in favor of opening routes from cities which allow users to access appropriate ATV travel routes. Roads will not be marked at this time on the ground as open or closed which will take funding in the future, but routes will appear open or closed on maps which will be made available to the public.
Any open routes are subject to all state codes. The draft ordinance states that ATV users from ages 8-16 may operate with an education certificate from an authorized state OHV training course and those 16 and older can operate with a valid drivers license. All riders under the age of 18 must wear a properly fitted helmet. All persons between 8-16 must be within direct visual supervision of an adult 18 years or older. All users must obey traffic and safety laws and all users must obey posted speed limits.
Petersen personally recommended that all ATV riders on county roads have a valid drivers license.
The commission will take input and then come back and say which roads are open. All probably won't show up on the final ordinance.
Commissioner Hatch opened up the meeting to public comments. James Nelson wondered about the pushing of snow using four-wheelers whether the ordinance would have an impact on that. Commissioner Hatch said that was a city issue, because most of this snow removal by homeowners takes place in the cities.
They also encouraged him to find out about the rules governing the husbandry use of an ATV.
Fred Hayes said that state laws require county ordinances mirror state law. He said the county ordinance appeared to be more restrictive requiring 16 year old youth to have a drivers license. The county ordinance would exclude youth these ages, who for one reason or another do not have a drivers license yet, from operating OHV on county roads. He also said the nonresident user permits should be covered in the ATV ordinance. He also said a husbandry permit comes with a tag to attach to the machine and if the ATV is used at all for recreational purposes it needs a recreational tag as well. He said the county needs a plan for the issuance of nonresident user permits and he is willing to help with a plan.
Scott Wheeler had a question about the age restrictions in the draft ordinance stating that a 15 year old would need someone 18 years of age or older with them. He agreed that 8 year-olds need supervision, but a 15 year old could be OK. "I have a concern with the age requirement," said Wheeler.
Boyd Wilson said he disagreed with Ray Petersen on the age recommendation of 16 and older on the county roads. He suggested the draft ordinance stay in line with the state law.
Randall Stilson said he personally thinks the three roads in question should be opened up for ATV travel.
Tom Lloyd from the forest service read a letter from District Ranger Mesia Nyman concerning her support of connector routes to link the communities to the forest and to the desert.
Mark H. Williams pointed out the increase in the ATV population in the county with 2,478 registered ATVs. He said he thinks Bott Lane should be open to allow access to OHV trails. It is a straight route. In the Buckhorn Draw area, the Buckhorn Road is an important loop road in a popular area which he believes should be opened. He thinks with signing and education full sized vehicles and ATVs can coexist safely.
Dixon Huntington said he didn't see any place in the ordinance that would cover grazers. He has major heartburn with the ordinance and is not in favor of it. He said that Ray and the others involved in the ordinance used safety as their criteria and the safety of young riders. He agreed with the way it is proposed. "Mark H. will not take no for an answer, if you tell him no he comes back next week with alternatives. I've watched this ATV issue evolve and we're soon coming to a point where we will regret their use, because of damage to the resource. I am surprised at Mesia's attitude. This ordinance has no economic benefit. We're committed to sound reasoning and should go with sound reasoning," commented Huntington.
Nelson said, Bott Lane should be open with the recommendation that they use the old route out of town across the road and don't go across the dip road bridge. This way the OHVs will only be on Bott Lane for one mile, also Ferron Canyon needs a staging area.
Ramal Jones said his first concern was that the Buckhorn should be open because of camping and recreation in the area. If you are camping in the Buckhorn you shouldn't have to trailer your machine some place to ride. There are safety concerns on the mountain roads, also. There are more blind turns on the forest routes than on the Buckhorn Road. The benefits outweigh the risks. Bott Lane should be open to get to the cedars. Ferron Canyon should be open. We can't ignore the potential we have for tourist dollars coming into the county to help keep some of our kids here. We were dying in the 50s and I had to leave to find employment, commented Jones.
Richard Beardall from USA-ALL, just recently moved to Ferron. He said that the loop route on the Buckhorn Road is one of his favorites and would like to see it opened. He would also like to see the Ferron Canyon road opened because there isn't ample parking at the forest service boundary and not a good staging area. Bott Lane should be opened as well, commented Beardall.
Mike McCandless from the economic development department said he recently attended two travel shows where he handed out 1,000 pieces of literature on the county and recreational opportunities here. He said most of the people inquired as to OHV opportunities in the county. "They are looking for somewhere to ride, that's different, that's not as crowded. They've been to Moab and it's crowded. They are looking for somewhere new to go. We need the county roads to tie with the BLM plans. We need appropriate staging areas as well," said McCandless.
Glenys Sitterud from Emery Town Council said tourism and recreation can be a money maker. We need to get on board. We need to make money off the people coming in. We need to make the routes and trails usable. Open the Ferron Canyon Road and open the small section of the Consol Road so riders can get up Quitchupah and down Link Canyon. She would like to see Millers Canyon open to get out to the desert and also a trail up past the pageant site to access East Mountain.
Merlin Christiansen said there has been a problem in Emery Town with old farmers not wanting people to go up to where the cows are and we have lost access to these places, when if more cooperation had been shown access would exist today. "Don't drag your feet on this, in the future we will wish we had done something for tourism. Do things to help it and to improve it. Don't forget Link Canyon, the Muddy and Rock Canyon. Make them accessible to ATVs," commented Christiansen.
One Ferron resident who lives along Mill Road, did not see the sense in trailering an ATV or motorcycle to go three miles to access a trail. He said the county isn't under liability for ATV use on county roads. He wondered what the statistics are for accidents with ATVs and full sized vehicles. He thinks it would be better to open the roads and after a year's time do an evaluation and see if any of the roads opened are dangerous.
Reed Martin spoke in favor of opening the Buckhorn Road for ATV traffic. He said it seems dumb to not open it, because it is a great connector link. "Safety issues are everywhere we will always have that, you just have to be careful," said Martin.
Dale Bartholomew from the Public Lands Alliance said not to create a quagmire on which roads are open and which are closed. Most of the time ATVs are trailered to where the rider wants to begin his ride. He sees guided ATV rides as an economic opportunity for the area, with riders dumping money into the communities. He would like to see trails where you can ride from the motels and access routes and trails and then ride back at night to a restaurant. Each tourist can bring from $200-250 perday to your communities.
Jack Fielder said to open the Buckhorn Road. His mother works at the museum and people always ask what they should go and see in the area. Some places are blocked off and the elderly can't walk to see them.
Glen Dale Johnson, Green River Mayor, said with the OHV ordinance you could start riding in Green River and end up at Hidden Splendor which is a 70 mile drive. He spoke in favor of passing the ordinance. "The age limit of those with drivers licenses really restricts family type activity. Take that out," said Johnson.
Jerry Jones from state parks said Millsite Park has been opened to OHV travel to allow access to Ferron Canyon and Ferron Canyon needs to be opened for this purpose in using Millsite State Park as a staging area. He also said kids and parents should ride together to teach the kids safety by way of example.
Eric Luke, public lands council, said he has mixed emotions to opening access. He sees an economic opportunity and a need to have access routes. The safety issue may not be as big as concern as we think, because the draft ordinance states that the ATV rider is obligated to travel at posted speed limits. If speed limits are obeyed it will help with safety. Keep the roads open for family use. OHV drivers without licenses don't have the knowledge to know who has the right of way in what situations. They need adult supervision.
Gil Bowden, Ferron Mayor, said he would like to see the road opened so people can start in town and follow the route and go up Ferron Canyon at posted speed limits. When kids run around on ATVs alone is when damage is done. Bowden mentioned the economic boon experienced in towns connected to the Piute Trail system. He would like to see the same economic opportunity exist for Emery County.
Jackie Wilson, Huntington Mayor, said families are being destroyed all around us and more family oriented activities are needed. She encouraged the commission to open those three roads in dispute.
Commissioner Gary Kofford said Ferron has been gearing up for the influx of people coming to the Arapeen Jamboree in Ferron. They have added 40 hookups which can also be used for Peach Days and the stock show.
Bowden said his motel is 85 percent committed and people are thinking about using private homes as bed and breakfasts during the jamboree time.
Commissioner Hatch said it is important to note that at this time, no county roads are designated as open. Any travel by ATVs on a county road is in violation. "We appreciate your input and we hope to have something put together by the first of May. This is a starting point and a road can be added or taken off as needed. It's up to the community if it's going to work. We will still take written comments on the issue and we will advertise the agenda for the meeting when it will be approved," said Commissioner Hatch.
ATVs and county roads is a heated issue. Hopefully, a countywide ATV ordinance will do much to alleviate the confusion concerning the operation of ATVs on county roads.

Cockles And Mussels-very Best Of, CD (£11.50)
When The Radiators released their second album Ghostown, Niall Stokes of Hot Press was moved to pen "It's a monumental achievement in rock, possibly the most significant Irish rock album ever" while Dave McCullogh, writing in the now defunct Sounds pop paper, called it "Astonishing immaculate" In the late 1980s, Carol Clerk asserted in Melody Maker that Ghostown was "one of the most important and enduring LPs in my life... outrageously masterful stuff". Cockles And Mussels presents the very best of the band, beginning in 1977 with their early punk sides as The Radiators From Space (their fast-version of Television Screen is one of the most blistering but cohesive of punk performances) through the critical glory years that followed up to 1980 and on to their final release Under Cleary's Clock (which came out as a 7" and 12" vinyl single in 1989 and became NME's Single Of The Week).Founder member Phil Chevron went on to fame with The Pogues. Widely recognised as one of the most innovative and influential band's of Ireland's nascent rock scene in the 1970s, The Radiators presence can be felt in the work of such diverse performers as Gavin Friday, U2, Christy Moore and of course The Pogues, home for ten years to the Radiators mainman Philip Chevron. "We took the time-honoured emigration trail in 1977, when Chiswick Records released our first album TV TUBE HEART", says Chevron today of their move from Dublin to London, "but found that our intentions were often misunder-stood. While we shared many of the characteristics of the UK punk bands - the energy and the attitudes - we had nothing to say about tower-blocks or anarchy."Our best songs came from our experience of growing up in an Ireland still paralysed by political and religious hypocrisies but which, we believed, was in its heart youthful and forward-thinking. We were the first Irish band to grapple with these contradictions but first and foremost we were a pop group and we could readily identify with the UK's 'No Fun' slogan."The second Radiators album GHOSTOWN (1979) startlingly fulfiled the promise of their debut as producer Tony Visconti saw the scale of their musical and lyrical ambitions and helped them realise their "midnight walk through Dublin with the ghosts of the city's past", as Chevron describes it. But its steepling melodies and harmonies and panoramic arrangements set them even further apart from the New Wave mainstream and the band failed to make the commercial breakthrough. It is, in Ireland, still widely considered to be one of the greatest albums ever made.All of GHOSTOWN, plus the best of TV TUBE HEART and a handful of stray singles, is included in this new 23-track CD compilation COCKLES AND MUSSELS : THE VERY BEST OF THE RADIATORS (CDWIKD 156), Released on 30th October. It has been compiled by Philip Chevron himself and he has personally supervised the digital mastering.Today, in the light of the enormous and often painful changes now taking place in Irish society, and Irish rock's now established place in the music scene, it is a timely reminder that The Radiators were its first small voice of dissent.

Beach Volleyball junior worlds return to Halifax
Halifax, Canada, December 8, 2011 – Halifax will become the first city to host back-to-back FIVB Beach Volleyball Swatch Junior World Championships after the sport's governing body announced that the waterfront town will welcome the world's best junior players once again in 2012.
The six day tournament will take place from August 28 to September 2 and features a Main Draw of 32 teams for the first time as the competition for players under 21 continues to grow in both size and stature.
The 2011 edition of the tournament was deemed a great success, with over 14,000 fans travelling to the waterfront to take in the action, and those numbers are expected to grow again this year.
"I'm thrilled at having the chance to welcome some of the sports youngest and brightest athletes to Canadian shores yet again," Volleyball Canada president Hugh Wong said after signing the agreement. "Last year's event was a new milestone for us as a national federation and we're obviously hoping to build on that further in 2012. It was so wonderful to see thousands of fans supporting the players in 2011 in what was a highlight for Canadian beach volleyball. I have little doubt that we'll add to the experience come August next year."
The FIVB Beach Volleyball Swatch Junior World Championships are held annually at beach locations all over the world. Last year's event was unique, with organizers creating a beach surface featuring 2,000 tonnes of sand as well as a temporary stadium.
Just like last year, Volleyball Canada will partner with Sports & Entertainment Atlantic, and President Derek Martin added that they look to build on last year's edition.
"Last year's tournament was a great success in so many ways and the overwhelming support we received from the community encouraged us to bring it back again" he said. "With an estimated economic impact of over $3 million dollars this is the type of International event that benefits all of Nova Scotia and Halifax should take pride in being awarded the unprecedented rights to host it two years in a row."
FIVB Beach Volleyball Commission secretary Vicente Araujo explained the fact that the Swatch Junior World Championships is returning to Halifax says a lot about how well it was organized last year.
"The 2011 edition of the tournament was magnificent," he added. "The platform created by both Volleyball Canada and Sports & Entertainment Atlantic for beach volleyball was exactly what we were looking for so I am excited to see how they aim to improve on it in 2012. It has been said many times that these players are the future of the sport and to have this raw talent matched with such a brilliant setting is a positive advert for beach volleyball."
With sell-outs on the final three days of competition in 2011, the Swatch Junior World Championships were the must-see event in Halifax leading into the Labour Day weekend and Sports & Entertainment Atlantic is already working with government and corporate sponsors to ensure the 2012 event builds on that excitement.

The groundbreaking, category-shattering trio Time for Tree transcends traditional classification. Members -- Zachary De Pue, violin; Nicholas Kendall, violin; and Ranaan Meyer, double bass -- carry a passion for improvisation, composing and arranging, all prime elements of the ensemble's playing with a reputation for limitless enthusiasm and no musical boundaries. "A self-described 'classically trained garage band,' the group blends classical themes and bowing techniques with bluegrass-style fiddling, jazzy bass lines, and the occasional hip-hop riff." - The Wall Street Journal

A South African dairy farmer asked Methven's Craige Mackenzie, during a global farming discussion in the United States recently: "How many cattle do you lose?"
"None," the Mid-Canterbury dairy and cropping farmer replied, puzzled.
Then he realised the South African was talking about stock stolen by thieves and those desperate for food.
Another farmer he met during the roundtable discussion worked just two days on his farm, and spent the remainder helping his large extended family and community simply survive, loaning out the tractor and plough he recently upgraded to from oxen.
Mackenzie was one of 15 innovative and inspirational farmers invited to the roundtable discussion, which was part of the annual World Food Prize (the agricultural equivalent of the Nobel Peace Prize).
He is the first New Zealand farmer to attend since the event started seven years ago, and will send reports to farmers around the world about the agricultural scene in New Zealand. He says the 13 countries represented had different issues, such as stock theft in South Africa and transporting produce in the packed and poor streets of India.
Craige uses precision agriculture techniques and computer technology to map his crops, monitor moisture levels and apply fertiliser only where needed. Mackenzie says the farmers talked about tools, trade and technology needed to farm in the next five to 10 years.
The bottom line was that farmers needed to be profitable to invest in new technology, be it spray irrigation or a tractor to replace oxen. "We need to be able to continue to feed the growing world population, as well as people in our own patch," he says.
Guest speakers, including United Nations secretary general Ban Ki-moon, emphasised sustainable intensification.
In South Africa, farmers needed a drought-tolerant gene in corn so subsistence farmers could improve harvest yields to feed their families and communities. "Our issues are legislation that is coming in around land use and nutrient limits. How we can manage our inputs and try to reduce our environmental footprint and be able to maintain the right to farm and grow what we grow," Mackenzie says. "We are privileged and wealthy when you think about that, and the fact that some farmers in the world have to choose which of their three children they will feed in a given day."
Because of that wealth, New Zealand farmers are an important cog in the global agricultural wheel.
"We can help other people, through technology and advice, to feed their families, and then bring money to their communities. They will then be in a position to buy our produce.
"We need to be able to continue to be better at what we do, drive technology and have the ability to raise the bar. We have some of the best farmers in the world right here. Our strength is our knowledge, climate and opportunity and the challenge for us is to take it forward in a sustainable way."
He says sharing dairy farming skills with the Chinese had introduced milk, butter and cheese to their diet and a market for New Zealand's dairy produce. Although genetic modification (GM) was part of the agenda, it did not dominate the discussion. GM was vital for African farmers needing to grow drought-resistant crops so they could feed starving communities, Mackenzie says.
"There is enough gene technology going on in the multinational companies without New Zealand being involved in this space and there is potential for our scientists to help. But it is not only about GM. Our scientists are clever, like the research they are doing into endophytes in cereals.
"There are, however, benefits to GM I think we should not be too naive about that. We should carry on doing the things we are good at and have an open mind."
Craige will report on his experience at the roundtable discussions to Primary Produce Minister David Carter and government officials.
He says though people want cheaper food, farmers have to make money to invest in new technology that would help them be more environmentally sustainable. "It is important that farmers are profitable, here or in Zimbabwe. You have the ability to be able to invest in new technology and be better at what you do."

Skip to comments.Statement by Gov. Perry on President Obamas Executive Actions
Posted on 01/16/2013 1:06:20 PM PST by thackney
Gov. Rick Perry released the following statement regarding President Obama's executive actions:
"The Vice President's committee was appointed in response to the tragedy at Newtown, but very few of his recommendations have anything to do with what happened there.
"Guns require a finger to pull the trigger. The sad young man who did that in Newtown was clearly haunted by demons and no gun law could have saved the children in Sandy Hook Elementary from his terror.
"There is evil prowling in the world - it shows up in our movies, video games and online fascinations, and finds its way into vulnerable hearts and minds. As a free people, let us choose what kind of people we will be. Laws, the only redoubt of secularism, will not suffice. Let us all return to our places of worship and pray for help. Above all, let us pray for our children.
"In fact, the piling on by the political left, and their cohorts in the media, to use the massacre of little children to advance a pre-existing political agenda that would not have saved those children, disgusts me, personally. The second amendment to the Constitution is a basic right of free people and cannot be nor will it be abridged by the executive power of this or any other president."
since you showed it to me first, ping
In other words, Obama just got 'Rick Rolled'.
I so wish he had been elected President. A huge loss for oir country.
I like my Governor.
Statements like this need to be repeated over and over and over by every conservative, no matter what the subject is. The Left want to play hardball, let's play.
He said the word "evil." In liberal la la land, there is no evil, no good, no right, no wrong, no free will. He will be ripped to shreds by the left for this.
And he is right.
There ain't a whole lot to be added to that right there.
I wonder if the Republic of Texas is interested in expanding its borders? Annexing a couple of states might well be an avenue of clearing up that issue of sovereignty. I can see the people of several adjoining territories liking this if Gov. Perry continues to support the rights of the people.
I just emailed the Texas website link & the text of the statement to my governor here in NC, suggesting that he issue a similar statement.
I like him too! He can become a resident of Alaska when he's done down there!
On the heels of Texas announcing the arrest of any Feds coming into Texas to mess with Texans and their guns, Ricks remarks today are a nice punctuation mark.
Very well said.
Our problem is not a matter of law, it is a matter of evil people who violate any and every law.
There ain't a whole lot to be added to that right there.
Well if he had not had that major brain fart in the debate he might have had a chance albeit a slim one. I know I couldn't support him after he lost it in the debate. He looked so stupid. Its a shame because he is a decent conservative.
Right On Govenor !!
The Sandy Hook shooter was not a legitimate gun owner. His mother rest her soul left weapons out knowing there was a mental health problem!
The Boy King just let one mentally ill person dictate to the American populas what will control their lives.
0 has no leadership skills but a crazy dead man does!
Corrected to say. the mother knew there was a mental health situation!
Unfortunately, Perry will be too old to be president once Obama leaves office in 2029.
For the young man who murdered so many innocent children and their heroic teachers, the events started not at the school, but when he murdered his own mother by shooting her four times in the head while she lay in bed.
At the school, it took the local police 11 minutes to respond but the killing was over. Each child had been shot from 3 to 11 times.
Please do not insult my intelligence by telling me what law would have prevented this. The magnitude of evil that was manifested took years to develop, and I suspect that his shattered family life was a significant component.
Tellingly, the first law that was passed to insult our intelligence and to insult the rule of law, was in New York State. That state doesn't call itself "The Empire State" for nothing.
In their finest hour, liberals (er, now "progressives") are all about finding "root causes". Clearly this is not their finest hour because not a single feature of New York's new law addresses shattered family life, as if any state law really could. And this in a state with 769 murders in 2011 but only FIVE of which were by rifle.
Judging by the common themes of progressives everywhere in response to the Sandy Hook School Massacre, it is an excuse to chip away at private firearms ownership and nothing else.
Why do I get the impression that these people are more and more like Gollum every day, spitting and hissing at anyone, any point of fact, any point of logic, or any provision of the Constitution, that gets between them and their 'Precious'?
Me thinks all these things stand in the way of progressives gaining their 'Precious'. Me thinks we have seen this before, with Lenin with Stalin and with Pol Pot. Me thinks we had better NEVER allow these people to attain their 'Precious', for if history is any guide, the much desired Precious Secular Utopia will be hell on earth.
Excellent statement!
"the mother knew there was a mental health situation"
And how do you know this?
And you know this how?
Oh, but people here sure hated him.
I crtainly will support him in 2016. He is a good conservative and a man of character. Both attributes will sorely needed in the Presidency in 2016.
Keep talking Rick.
"I wonder if the Republic of Texas is interested in expanding its borders? Annexing a couple of states might well be an avenue of clearing up that issue of sovereignty. I can see the people of several adjoining territories liking this if Gov. Perry continues to support the rights of the people."
If the SEC just let Texas A&M join, maybe they can reciprocate... add the ACC too!
So glad he's my Governor! Wish he was my President.
Apparently he thought he could function just fine in the debates on pain meds. Oops!
Hey, I love violent video games. I wish people would shut up about them. Did anyone else see that stupid game Lanza played?
Back when we were taught positive values in school, when heroes wore white hats and said "ma'am", when we sang Christmas Carols in the School gym, before the "don't put your values on me" crowd took over, we came to school with rifles in our trucks, when shooting after school, no massacres. We were proud to be Americans and certain we were born in the greatest country ever devised.
Now, stripped of those values and fed the values and images and heroes that render most unable to, literally, distinguish between good and evil, this process begins bearing fruit in the most evil manifestations.
What does evil do ? Work to remove our means of defense against itself while continuing to destroy our founding principles. Demonic indeed.
I shur like ur governor better than mine! (moonbeam)
Governor Perry is right. Evil prowls throughout our land, every day, and always has.
I feel that there are likely SOME measures we could take, but in the end, it's a risk we live with in a free society. We also live with the risk that we'll be mauled by a bear, run over by a car, or hit by lightning. I think statistically, we have about as much a chance of those things as we do being killed by a random shooter.
And kids die, too, everyday. They die in auto accidents, through accidental everything — in plane crashes, in violent homes, drownings, drug poisonings, through incurable disease, dangerous viruses — and we can't always stop it.
Risk exists. Evil exists. Sometimes there's NOTHING we can do about it, except trust in God's Will for our lives!!
But try to tell that to libs. They want to try and "do something" about every single problem and they actually think they CAN ward off all evil.
Then start filing Federal Civil Rights lawsuits. The Supreme Court opened that door wide.
"Guns require a finger to pull the trigger. The sad young man who did that in Newtown was clearly haunted by demons and no gun law could have saved the children in Sandy Hook Elementary from his terror."
That is the sheer fact of the matter.
But facts never stop Liberals when they are on a tear.
And the entire Liberal agenda is now infused with the Obama modus-operandi - your ideology comes first, not the truth, so never let a good crisis go to waste; exploit it to advance your ideology, not becuase it solves anything other than advancing your ideoolgy, period.
I haven't been able to find any comment from our governor, she better speak up real soon. She's starting to be a disappointment.
Nikki Haley, where are you on this?
I like your governor, too. This country would be on its way to a much better place if he had managed to win the presidency. He's a good man.
Very cool FR name!
My point was....how does anyone know...she left weapons "out"?????
Were they "out" in plain sight...so the crazy son could see them?
Or were they locked away? But after mom was waxed, he opened up the gun safe?
Or were they in a closet? Under a bed? In a drawer?
You misinterpreted what I meant....
Yes, I knew she knew he had mental problems.
Fair enough?
They sure did.
Just think!
That Being acknowledged by our Declaration of Independence to be Creator and "Divine Providence," and by the First U. S. President to be "the Supreme Ruler of the Universe" only needed Ten Commandments for all people, for all situations, and for all time, and when He came to earth, He summed up those Ten as being only One great law:
"Do unto others as you would have them do unto you."
Perhaps if an American President were publicly to acknowledge, as did many previous Presidents, this basic duty of citizens toward each other, emphasizing that the duty is to the Creator and Giver of Life, Liberty, and Rights, then a new tone might be set for youth in the nation.
Were the President of the United States to undertake a national effort to restore the teaching of the ideas of our Declaration of Independence in the schools, emphasizing the Creator-endowed rights and liberties of each individual and their duties and responsibilities as citizens, how might that change the environment in the society?
"Although guided by our excellent Constitution in the discharge of official duties, and actuated, through the whole course of my public life, solely by a wish to promote the best interests of our country; yet, without the beneficial interposition of the Supreme Ruler of the Universe, we could not have reached the distinguished situation which we have attained with such unprecedented rapidity. To Him, therefore, should we bow with gratitude and reverence, and endeavor to merit a continuance of His special favors ~George Washington, 1797 letter to John Adams
For more words of wisdom from the Founders, visit this site, and search through "older entries" as well.
"Oh, but people here sure hated him."
That's a fact. We had trolls from DU and slick infiltrators from the Soros group and obuma's campaign, trashing Perry.
They did their dirty work and are no longer posting on FR, yet we still have a handful of their useful idiots justifying their stupidity.
Compared to Romney, he would have been a great conservative candidate.
I already to move to Texas, kick the crap out of liberals in Austin, Houston, and DFW and then expand the Republics borders to its original size.
As my tag line still notes — Gov. Perry was my candidate for 2012 and will be for 2016.
Where's the link for that one :)
Gotta read it! :)
As a Texan by choice and an early retired ghetto Yankee firefighter, I had a great experience today. I live in rural Texas and as a licensed AC contrator had to happen upon a call to a retired local Police chief today (a regular customer for the last 5 yrs) just as Obama came on. WOW what a great conversation we had. I don't think law abiding citizens HERE don't have to worry.
I told him I'm a veteran and he said I too am. I said," I doubt fellow American soldiers will move against us.
Google "Bonus Army" and "1967 Detroit Riots" and school yourself, FRiend. To top it off, Google General Boykin's bio and read about his part in Waco.
It's things like that which will open your eyes.

Hundreds of residents in suburban Los Angeles returned to their homes Saturday night as firefighters made significant progress battling a wildfire fueled by drought-stricken conditions in California.
Robert Brady, fire information officer for the Angeles National Forest, said two civilians had sustained minor injuries in the fire that burned 1,863 acres.
Brady said 1,800 personnel, 104 fire engines, three helicopters and four bulldozers were involved in firefighting efforts.
Crews focused on securing fire lines around the roughly 3-square-mile blaze and looked ahead to rehabilitating the burn area to prevent erosion and possible mudslides.
"It's starting to look fairly good," Brady told AP. "We're still in very dry conditions, so I would remind people to be careful out there."
The fire was 61% contained by late Saturday ET.
The Colby fire erupted early Thursday in the Angeles National Forest when Santa Ana winds hit a campfire that authorities said was recklessly set by three men, who were later arrested and are facing federal charges. Gusts quickly spread flames from the San Gabriel Mountains into Glendora and Azusa, where an estimated 3,700 people had to evacuate at the fire's peak.
Five homes were destroyed and 17 other houses, garages and other structures were damaged, Brady said.
Fortunately, firefighters weren't likely to find their jobs made harder by the winds, said Accuweather senior meteorologist Kristina Pydynowski.
"The Santa Ana winds aren't as strong as they were earlier in the week," she said. "There are still some localized areas where the winds will blow, probably late at night and in the early morning."
Meanwhile, Gov. Jerry Brown, who declared a drought emergency Friday, urged residents to cut water use by 20% and directed state agencies to take a range of steps to ease the effects of water shortages on agriculture, communities and fish and wildlife, the Los Angeles Times reported.
"We ought to be ready for a long, continued, persistent effort to restrain our water use," Brown said at a San Francisco news conference. "This is not a partisan adversary. This is Mother Nature. We have to get on nature's side and not abuse the resources that we have."
Conditions seemed unlikely to improve in the immediate future: Pydynowski said there's no rain in the forecast for at least the next week.
"They really need rain," she said. "This is (normally) the rainy season for California. So they need to get the rain and snow now to avoid problems down the road during the dry time of year."
Normally, Pydynowski said, the city of Los Angeles gets 3.12 inches of rain during the month of January. "They've had nothing, and here we are on the 18th," she said.
"At this same time of year that you would normally see rain in Los Angeles and San Francisco, you would see snow falling in the Sierras," Pydynowski said. "They rely on that snowpack to build in the Sierras during this time of year, and then it melts and (supplies water) in the spring and early summer."
Brown's drought proclamation follows the driest year on record in California and came as reservoir levels continue to drop.
Paul Wenger, president of the California Farm Bureau Federation, which represents nearly 78,000 members statewide, welcomed Brown's declaration.
"Farmers across California face wrenching decisions today, as well as in coming months," Wenger said in a statement. "Will they have enough water to plant crops, to water their livestock, and keep trees and vines alive? An additional concern is how many people they may have to lay off as a result of water shortages. Any way the state and federal governments can provide assistance in adding water to the system will help."
Brown's drought declaration calls on California agencies to launch a statewide conservation campaign, expedite voluntary water transfers by rights holders to districts in need of supplies and hire additional seasonal firefighters this year to respond to elevated wildfire risk, the Times reports. It stops short of statewide water rationing, although some Northern California communities have imposed rationing and others are asking residents to eliminate outdoor watering.
"We can't make it rain, but we can be much better prepared for the terrible consequences that California's drought now threatens, including dramatically less water for our farms and communities and increased fires in both urban and rural areas," Brown said.

D&M Custom Baits Buzz Saw In-Line Buzzbait
After several years of testing and thousands of caught bass, D&M has finally created a buzzbait that can perform in the slop. The unique design of the D&M Buzz Saw In-line Buzzbait allows anglers to now utilize the flash and gurgle of a buzzbait in the thickest of vegetation. The buzz blade positioned at the front of the bait allows it to deflect off of cover and debris, and when combined with a plastic trailer, it becomes a weedless wonder. Fish it through grass mats, trees, or boat docks, the D&M Buzz Saw In-Line Buzzbait provides a devastating surface disturbance. The blade even lays flat on the water after casts to help keep it on the surface, and its heavy gauge 4/0 Owner Beast Hook has the wherewithal to haul in the biggest fish. Also equipped with a magnum long tail skirt and custom Super Keeper to keep your trailer in place, cut through dense cover and get to the big'uns with the D&M Buzz Saw In-Line Buzzbait.

Customer Reviews
Comments: I bought this bait thinking "great" no more short strikes. Wrong! For some reason I couldn't cast it very far. I replaced the meat hook with a smaller swim bait hook with weighted keel and screw lock (if you want to fish a trailer). Now that I got it casting far the next problem. The skirt would wrap up in the blade EVERY CAST! For $9 buy some conventional buzz baits & whatever you don't like about them just deal with it
From: Aaron: Church Point, LA 10/31/15
Comments: Like the others have stated, these things suck. I have taken mine apart and use the skirts for punching rigs and I am experimenting with the blade portion with frogs & swimbaits. Trashed the hooks these come with.
From: Phatbass: Discovery Bay, CA 8/12/15
Comments: Not sure was d&m was thinking on this one. First of all soon as you get this bait there are a few mods you have to do to it or it will not work right at all. First you must cut the longer portion of the skirt or it will foul in the prop/blade. Also change the hook to something like an owner beast or a similar hook. It should work alright once these mods are done.
From: CJ: PA
Comments: Took this out on the Potomac River and fished it side by side with my usual buzz bait. Probably had 20 hits on the D&M and only 2 on usual buzzer...problem is that I didn't hook up on any of the hits on the D&M. Not quite sure why and I do agree that the line twist was pretty bad.
From: Bill: Waldorf
Comments: Was looking forward to throwing this in heavy weeds that snag other buzzbaits but was quickly let down...it's no better or worse. Also difficult to throw due to the huge blade that catches wind during the cast. The hook that D&M uses could double as a meat hook in a butcher shop. Not sure what size EWG but has to be at least a 6 or 7. For me, this contraption will probably spend its entire career on the bench.
From: Cuz: NJ
Comments: D&M hit a home run with this great bait . I make a couple little tweaks not a fan of the long skirt so I cut it down easy and it doesn't foul the blade ever ! Second I replace the hook D&M installed with a screw lock owner beast hook just not a gamakatsu fan sorry D&M but this hook works good but not as good as the beast hook with the screw lock ! But after those little tweaks this thing is a game changer !
From: Steven: Clearlake Ca
Comments: I got 2 of these and went out to fish them today. Not a good product, surpising because most of D&M stuff is spot on. Both of them the blade bound up on the shaft causing the entire lure to spin, causing terrible line twist. Not worth the money.
From: Will: Waltham, Ma
Comments: Fished one of these for the first time today. Pretty sweet, could potentially be a game changer. There are a few design flaws though, occasionally the skirt will tangle below the blade and cause your trailer to spiral. Also, D&M put some godawful hook keeper on the Gammy. Making it almost impossible to rig some thinner profile baits on there without absolutely destroying the bait. Like most buzz baits, does not cast particularly well either.

Yes, understood. I'd still like to collect a little data from this if possible — perhaps you can do the collection in a way that preserves your pre-launch secrecy. If you are ok with this, could you do a wget on the index page (or whatever page is exhibiting the problem) , then truncate the file just after the headers and then email it to me?

Re: MLP - The Multi-Lingual Publishing Pack
I have done a wget on the index file and have in on my desktop. If you pm me your e-mail addres I will send you the file.

Re: MLP - The Multi-Lingual Publishing Pack
One thought: it might just be one or more stray newline(s) at the end of one of the
textpattern/lib/l10n_blahblah.php files (that is, after the
?> at the end of the file.) I just took a look at the sources and there were a few in there — I've trimmed them out so the next build will not include them.
If you want to see if that is your problem just edit those text files and make sure there is no blank line after any closing
Hope that helps.
Edit: The files you will need to edit are…

Re: MLP - The Multi-Lingual Publishing Pack
Many thanks for this excellent plugin.
I have a problem with the compatibility of this plugin with the plugin chh_keywords. In messy mode it works fine, in clean mode, chh_keywords adds an extra language identifier to the url of the top page (not to the addresses of the individual articles).
For example:
Address returned by <txp:l10n_lang_list /> should be:
1. www.xxx.com/ja (in English mode)
2. www.xxx.com/nl (in English mode)
3. www.xxx.com/en (in Japanese mode)
4. www.xxx.com/nl (in Japanese mode)
Actual address returned:
1. www.xxx.com/ja/en (in English mode)
2. www.xxx.com/nl/en (in English mode)
3. www.xxx.com/en/ja (in Japanese mode)
4. www.xxx.com/nl/ja (in Japanese mode)
I figure this must a problem with the code for clean mode in chh_keywords.
Is there anybody who has (or can make) a fix for this problem?

Problem solved! I removed all the blank lines at the end of all the l10n_ … files and the first empty line is gone.
Thank you.

Re: MLP - The Multi-Lingual Publishing Pack
I've never used that plugin so please be patient while I take a look at it. Do be aware however; it might not be possible to fix this problem as the MLP Pack includes a modification to the
txplib_db.php file. I'll let you know what I find or if I need anything else to help narrow it down.
Fantastic. Thanks for helping me make the pack better too. Please consider posting me a link to the site when it goes live and as long as my young daughter can look at it.

Shakespeare's plays are full of food and drink quotes. As usual with Shakespeare, he uses such everyday things to characterise the people who populate the world of his plays. He also uses food and drink as metaphors to create accurate impressions of the times he lived in. No Sweat Shakespeare has browsed through the plays to delight you with the top 20 Shakespeare quotes on food and drink.
1. Twelfth Night: Act 2, Scene 3
Do you think because you are virtuous, that there shall be no more cakes and ale?
2. Othello: Act 2, Scene 3
Good wine is a good familiar creature, if it be well used.
3. Henry V: Act 3, Scene 2
I would give all my fame for a pot of ale.
4. As You Like It: Act 3, Scene 2
Truly, thou art damned like an ill roasted egg, all on one saide.
5. The Merry Wives Of Windsor: Act 1, Scene 1
Why, sir, for my part I say the gentleman had drunk himself out of his five senses.
6. Antony and Cleopatra: Act 2, Scene 1
Eight wild boars roasted whole at breakfast, but twelve persons there.
7. Romeo and Juliet: Act 4, Scene 2
Tis an ill cook that cannot lick his own fingers.
8. Twelfth Night: Act 1, Scene 3
I ama great eater of beefd and I believe that does harm to my wit.
9. Henry IV Part 1: Act 2, Scene 1
He hath eaten me out of house and home; he hath put all my substance into that fat belly of his.
10. Macbeth: Act 2, Scene 3
Drink sir, is a great provoker of three things….nose painting, sleep and urine. Lechery, sir, it provokes, and unprovokes; it provokes the desire but takes away the performance.
11. Henry IV Part I: Act 3, Scene 1
O, he is as tedious as a tired horse, a railing wife; worse than a smokey house: I had rather live with cheese and garlic in a windmil, far, than than feed on cates and have him talk to me in any summer-house in Christendom.
12. The Comedy Of Errors: Act 5, Scene 1
Unquiet meals make ill digestions.
13. Richard III: Act 3, Scene 4
My lord of Ely, when I was last in Holborn I saw good strawberries in your garden there; I do beseech you send for some of them.
14. A Midsummer Night's Dream: Act 4, Scene 2
And, most dear actors, eat no onions or garlic, for we are to utter sweet breath; and I do not doubt but to hear them say, it is a sweet comedy. No more words: Away! Go, away!
15. Henry IV Part II: Act 5, Scene 1
A' shall answer it. Some pigeons, Davy, a couple of short-legged hens, a joint of mutton, and any pretty little tiny kickshaws, tell William cook.
16. All's Well That Ends Well: Act 5, Scene 3
Mine eyes smell onions; I shall weep anon.
17. Romeo and Juliet: Act 4, Scene 4
They call for dates and quinces in the pastry.
18. Henry IV Part II: Act 2, Scene 4
A man cannot make him laugh – but that's no marvel; he drinks no wine.
19. As You Like It: Act 3, Scene 5
I pray you, do not fall in love with me, For I am falser than vows made in wine.
20. Othello: Act 2, Scene 3
O thou invisible spirit of wine! If thou hast no name to be known by, let us call thee devil!

Toll collection for travel between the six western-most exits of the Massachusetts Turnpike is scheduled to begin October 15th.
It will cost $1.75 to drive the portion of the Mass Pike between Exit 1 in West Stockbridge and Exit 6 in Springfield. That's the same price as in 1996 when then Governor William Weld eliminated those tolls for passenger cars.
The restoration of the fees is part of the transportation bill approved by the legislature this summer. The expected $12 to $15 million in yearly collections will be used for various construction and repair projects on the roadway.
In the meantime, the department of transportation says it needs to reprogram electronic toll transponders and print new tickets to get ready for the change. Motorists can express their opinions at the DOT's website or at public hearings in Lee and Springfield, scheduled for September.

"My husband has never loved the Vans style so much...but he actually tried and then bought them because he found out they were pretty comfy! He gave the valutations so I won't add more. According to me they seem right for summer days. Maybe I will check too for a women's model..."

Welp. We heard rumblings of consistent infidelity, and today, a bombshell: Arnold Schwarzenegger fathered a child with a member of his household staff, and that's why Maria Shriver decided to call it quits. The mother of this child worked for the Schwarzenegger family for TWENTY YEARS, until she retired. In January. This woman — whose name is not being published — says: "I wanted to achieve my 20 years, then I asked to retire." She received a severance payment and "left on good terms with them." Schwarzenegger took financial responsibility for the child from the start and continued to provide support. The kid was born over ten years ago, but Maria found out that the Terminator was the biological father very recently. Ahnuld tells the Los Angeles Times: "After leaving the governor's office I told my wife about this event, which occurred over a decade ago. I understand and deserve the feelings of anger and disappointment among my friends and family. There are no excuses and I take full responsibility for the hurt I have caused. I apologized to Maria, my children and my family. I am truly sorry." Apparently Arnold and Maria's kids basically grew up with this child — they all played together — so the lies were fairly extensive. Funny how this cigar-smoking muscle-bound manly man is basically Cowardice personified. Also, it's amazing that his didn't come out sooner - but as we learned yesterday, there may have been all kinds of tabloid blackmail and payoffs going on behind the scenes. The stuff epic mini series are made of. [TMZ, LA Times, Radar Online] Donald Trump is not running for president, thank Zeus. [Radar] Breaking: Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie went to dinner in Cannes.

He held her seat out when they arrived." So… no one stormed out? No screaming matches? Does this mean that tabloids lie? [Us Magazine] Brad Pitt's latest film — The Tree Of Life, directed by Terrence Malick — was booed at Cannes.

Christopher Spring, British Museum
Tremendous celebrations greeted the news in Kenya, his father's homeland, of Barack Obama's election, on November 4 2008, as 44th President of the United States – and of his re-election for a second term in November 2012. Thousands of kangas bearing his image were proudly worn throughout the land. The inscription in Kiswahili reads: 'Congratulations Barack Obama. God has granted us Love and Peace'. This kanga is on display as part of a special temporary exhibition at the British Museum looking at the textile traditions of southern and eastern Africa.
Kangas are rectangular printed cloths, each with their own inscription written in the same place in every design; they are sold and worn in matching pairs and are principally a woman's garment in eastern Africa, though often worn singly by men at home and by Maasai men in public.
A combination of inscription, overall design, and the ways in which a kanga may be worn make it a remarkable medium of communication. Kangas may be used to demonstrate a woman's stance on global issues, her political allegiance and even her alignment with a collective vision for the future.
Kangas reflect changing times, fashions and tastes. They provide a detailed chronology of the social, political, religious, emotional and sexual concerns of those who wear them. Their patterns and inscriptions also vary according to the age of the wearer and the context in which the cloth is worn. Kangas provide ways of suggesting thoughts and feelings which cannot be said out loud, and of relieving suspicions and anxieties. They move between the realms of the secular and the sacred, playing a central role in all the major rite-of-passage ceremonies in a woman's life, yet also are used for the most mundane of functions.
The rectangular form of today's kanga, with a continuous border, a central image or pattern, and an inscription in Kiswahili, has changed considerably from early prototypes. The first kangas were created in the late nineteenth century by sewing together six printed handkerchiefs, lenço, which the Portuguese had traded to eastern Africa for centuries. Soon hand-stamped versions on a single piece of cloth replaced the sewn lenço, and these in turn were superseded by factory-printed textiles, while all the time the form and patterning of kanga were evolving. The most successful designs and inscriptions are those which will appeal most to women, so manufacturers depend heavily on the advice of their female African customers. There was little doubt that the Obama kanga would be a best-seller.
This was first published in the London Evening Standard on 14 February 2013.
Barack Obama's Kenyan victory kanga is on display in the exhibition Social fabric: African textiles today until 21 April 2013.

Uh Oh: Thomas Friedman Has a Golf-Themed Column
If you, too, specifically seek to read pieces of writing that you know will be depressing if not dangerous, then there's nothing better than a Thomas Friedman column's opening paragraph that runs with either a misleading anecdote or confusing extended metaphor. Today's the latter! Let's take a gander at this sumbitch. It is about golf.
As we know, President Obama has been playing some golf this week at Martha's Vineyard, specifically to get his mind off politics for a measly few hours. Friedman's advice: He should keep playing golf, constantly, but not to refresh himself — nay, to drive himself even crazier about what to do with these goddamn Republicans in Washington. It is only through this, Friedman concurs, that he will learn to save America.
Despite the carping by critics, I'm glad the president went on vacation because one of the most useful things he could do right now is play golf - a lot of golf - but not that friendly foursome thing with his aides that he usually does. No, real golf: Match play, head to head, with real money on the line. Match-play golf is a great teacher. As any good golfer will tell you, the first rule of match play is this: Never play not to lose. Do not wait and hope for your opponent to make a mistake. Always play the course, always play to win and always assume your opponent will do well - will make that long putt - so you have to do better.
In other words: Be better at dealing with Republicans, by becoming a gambling addict.
The column literally ends with a recommendation for Obama to watch the 1996 Kevin Costner film Tin Cup.
We'll go a step further: Next time you have John Boehner in the White House for a sit down, put on a tape of the 2000 Matt Damon-Will Smith golf classic, The Legend of Bagger Vance. Will Smith isn't just any old caddy. He's a dead ghost caddy. He knows his stuff. He knows putts and sand shots, but also the lessons of life. Watch 64, 66 minutes of this. Then turn to John Boehner, kick him in the shin, and demand economic stimulus. This is hardball, Obama. Play or get played.

Skip to comments.I need some opinions on possible evidence of electoral shenanigans.
Posted on 10/23/2002 8:42:18 AM PDT by Luis Gonzalez
In was having lunch yesterday with a customer, in his Liberty City restaurant, when our table was approached by a well-dressed man.
He was well acquainted with my friend/customer, and began making conversation about the upcoming elections.
He handed my friend a listing of precints open and available for "early voting", then handed him what he called an something like an informative card, to help with the issues and candidates.
My friend introduced this man as a local Minister ot considerable influence.
I grabbed the "informative" card, and threw it in my briefcase, then, as he and I exchanged some pleasntries, my friend informed the Minister that I was a Republican.
He shook my hand, and left.
The cards are posted below.
I have a question:
Isn't there supposed to be some sort of information on these hand outs as to who paid for the political ad?
I am going to be away from my computer for a few hours, but would love some learned opinions on this.
Three words:
Luis, we're Republicans. Don't you know it's "voter intimidation" either to ask or answer questions like that?
Dwelling on little things like election law is liable to scare away Democrat constituencies. Here's another example.
Actually, I think you're onto something. My mailbox is full of flyers like this from advocacy groups, and they all have a declaration somewhere as to the group that is originating them. I'm sure that's a Federal disclosure rule, not exclusive to California.
While we're on the subject of shenanigans, I'm not a big fan of early or absentee voting anyway (military and foreign service personnel excepted.) Too much opportunity for fraud.
I think there is information on the card who paid for them.
Every position says, DEM, DEM, DEM, DEM, DEM, DEM, DEM, DEM, DEM, DEM.;-)
Of interest to me would be the ministers race. I have heard that black churches are political organizations and ministers receive "walking around money" to purvey the partyline message. If the minister is black, it would lend credance to the rumor. If white or hispanic, would indicate a more widespread practice.
Of real interest and of some legal importance would be providing the message and distributing the cards in the church on Sunday morning. You could do us a great service by attending services on next Sunday morning to see and to hear first hand. I must admit that I have almost visited such a church on Sunday but chickened.
If the church has 501 c 3 status, it could lose it for becoming involved in supporting parties or candidates. Of course, as a practical matter, this only applies to Conservative churches. Churches filled with Demo-rat voters always get a "pass," to wit Je$$e Jackson and his "church."
Yeah, I have some thoughts. But they would get me banned!
I simply do the opposite. :)
I spoke with Mary Ellen Miller, Chairman of the GOD here in Miami-Dade County and she is going to have the GOP Headquarters call me back on this. Hang on to the original card, buddy. They are going to need it as evidence!! Woo-HOO!!
Also, try to get the name of this local minister if you can. Mary Ellen was very nice and explained that many of the people nn that community are intimidated.
RE: CFR. Luis, I'm not sure on the details in this new law. 60 days? Hmmmm....
Ruthy Dupree got me on a three-way call with the Miami-Dade GOP. They took the information, and requested a link to this post.
They also asked me to hold on to the card.
The 2001 Florida Statutes
You gotta go straight to the top to get things done quickly and Mary Ellen deserves big FReepin' KUDOS for her response time and efforts!!
I couldn't tell who I was talking to, other than you that is.
I was busy trying to negotiate my cell phone, a Vente Caramel Macchiatto from Starbuck's, and I-75 traffic.
My guess is that the Dems will say they knew nothing of this slate card and let the poor minister hang out to dry. And even IF they paid for the cards, they'll be sure to wipe up their tracks so it's never traced back to them.
Do slate cards count as "novelty items"?
I think in order to qualify as a novelty item, it would have to include a picure of Alcee Hastings in a Judge's robe.
Or Janet Reno dressed as Lady Justice!
Alcee Hasting in a judges robe. LOL!
But they are required, by Florida Statutes, to include who paid for the flyers.
Not only that, but this could be in violation of CFR.
Now, would that be a hoot or what?
Not sure if anything can be done, but being informed beats being in the dark any day.

Scissors are more convenient than knives for some cutting operations. They obviously cannot be relied upon for perfect accuracy but are quick and simple to use for rough trimming, layout and paste-up work. Scissors with extended stainless steel blades that taper to a fine point and have comfortable molded plastic handles give greater control. Good quality, very sharp scissors are often quite expensive item but are worth the extra cost as they perform more precisely, last longer and can be resharpened when necessary.
A small pair, between 4" and 5" in overall length is ideal for delicate cutting tasks while an 8" to 10" pair is a good size for larger work. Always reserve you scissors for cutting papers, films and similar thin surfaces only. Thick boards, plastics and other modeling materials should be trimmed with a heavy-duty knife as they can easily blunt or even bend scissors blades.
