Late Night Headshots: June 26th

The new Canucks brain trust.

Today at Canucks Army we wondered whether or not the Canucks accidentally leaked their 2010 NHL Draft board, looked at the opening of the John Tortorella era in Vancouver, recapped both of his press conferences - the one with the fans, and the one with the media - and complimented the Canucks on their clever alt-media blitz.
More Canucks news - but who are we kidding, really it's just a recap of reactions to the John Tortorella hire - after the jump.
Neil Greenberg breaks down the impact that going from Alain Vigneault's zone-matching style, to John Tortorella's still pretty radical zone-matching schemes might have on the offensive output of the Sedin twins. He figures it might be worth a couple of points next season. [ESPN Insider]
Speaking of the offense the Sedin twins may lose from starting fewer shifts in the offensive end under John Tortorella, maybe they'll be able to make it up shorthanded. In a post-presser scrum with reporters, John Tortorella fleshed out the prospect of penalty-killing Sedin twins and called for a more vengeful Canucks team overall. Hi Keith! [The Province]
Tony Gallagher chimes in on the notion of the Sedin twins killing penalties and, oddly enough, I completely agree with the venerable king-maker:
Wonderful thought (the twins killing penalties), but it's a study in stupidity. Consider they're already going to be playing pre-season games, a full season (and these two rarely miss games) including a trip halfway around the world to play the Olympics on a team that already leads the league in travel. And then you expect them to take the dings that come with penalty-killing and still have something left for the playoffs at age 34. Good luck with that. [The Province]
Brad Ziemer digs into John Tortorella's past and manages to mine a variety of pretty amusing anecdotes. [Vancouver Sun]
Cam Charron writes that while change was the word of the day for the Canucks, Tortorella and Vigneault are tactically pretty similar coaches... [TSN.com]
Ryan Kesler came the closest of anyone to taking a shot, albeit a vague and indirect one, at Alain Vigneault: "I think (more accountability) is needed. We can hold ourserlves accountable in the room all we want but it becomes a reality when the coach does it." [Team 1040]
CDC put together a neat inforgraphic to visually communicate John Tortorella's record as a head-coach. [Canucks.com]
David Ebner on the "remorse and rehabilitation" of "that lunatic" John Tortorella. [Globe and Mail]
Elliot Pap got a choice quote from Mike Gillis explaining how John Tortorella impressed him enough to ultimately recieve a five year contract offer from the club:
"What impressed me the most was his attitude about coaching a team, how to bring it together, how to prepare it for the playoffs and how to prepare for specific opponents. I was really impressed with the level of detail. I was extremely impressed with the passion and the excitement that he had. As we got to know one another a little bit more, I became even more excited about how technically sound he was in his approach and how he felt the game should be played." [Vancouver Sun]
Iain Macintyre was impressed by Tortorella's taking complete ownership of the "baggage" that accompanies him. [Vancouver Sun]
Chris Higgins tells Brad Ziemer that getting yelled at by John Tortorella is pretty much an inevitability when you play on his hockey club. [Vancouver Sun]
Sean Gentille was struck by the softer side flashed by Stepford Tortorella or "New Torts" on Tuesday. [TSN.com]
Ed Wiles, who you might recall completely murdered the Canucks over the Tortorella hiring late last week, came away from Tortorella's first day on the job impressed. [The Province]
Bovada released their 2014 Stanley Cup odds on Tuesday, and priced out the Canucks at fourteen-to-one odds to raise Lord Stanley's mug next June. Also priced out at 14/1? The Los Angeles Kings. Priced out at 16/1? The San Jose Sharks. So yeah, Bovada might be overvaluing the Canucks. [Puck Daddy]
Finally allow me to close this especially long Headshots post with one final thought on the John Tortorella hire and all that transpired on Tuesday. Vancouver's PR team stickhandled a potential minefield expertly, and the social media team coordinated and executed an engaging, intelligent alternative media blitz. The roll out, combined with Tortorella's outstanding introductory performance, led naturally to the coach being warmly recieved by the media and by the majority of the fans whom I chatted with on-line today.
Those conversations, or at least the tenor of those conversations, were a significant change from the past few months (maybe even the past year). Canucks fans haven't "bought" much in the way of hope from the club they cheer for recently, after all. But for one day at least Tortorella was a breath of fresh air, and the usual fatalism and cynicism that characterizes so many Canucks fans was temporarily dropped. I guess this is what a "reset" feels like.
But, y'know, it's probably worth remembering that none of Tuesday's warm and fuzzy feelings will matter a fig if Mike Gillis can't perform salary cap surgery on his roster over the coming weeks. There's work to be done, Kesler insurance to add, an immovable contract to trade, and a reportedly leery ownership group to talk into committing a hefty bundle of their hard-earned treasure towards a compliance buyout (or preferably two).
So yeah, it's undeniable that John Tortorella came off well on Tuesday. But if the Canucks are to elevate themselves above the "pretender" status they've languished in since mid-January of 2012, well this better be just the beginning.
I only watched about half of the press conference, but it sounded like a lot of meaningless talking points to me.
Unless fans were expecting an altercation with a reporter on Day 1, I don't quite get why everyone keeps saying their expectations were surpassed. It's a press conference -- you know what you're going to get.
Have you heard? Everyone's going crazy over #Luongo4Lecavalier! People are literally lighting objects on fire in excitement. You guys need to get in on the ground floor and start writing about everyone in this city's BURNING need to trade Luongo for Lecavalier! If you get on it fast everyone will think it was your idea! tinyurl.com/ntomc6c
June 26 2013, 01:09PM
The vancouver sport writers make me laugh...bashing Torts based on second hand info. I can just see their thought process, well he's not going to like us so I'm not going to like him first.
Tony G's analysis of the Sedin/PK issue is brutal. The twins have been asking to play on the PK for years...they obviously aren't going to be the go to guys but why not keep them in the game...team effort.
Thank God for blogs like Canucks Army, otherwise we would actually have to go to the Van Sun/Province for info.

Ugh, I don't like this one eye business for Zoro, means he'll have a blind spot to the left!
And Sentomaru a vice-admiral now?
Orochimaru reminds me of Michael Jackson... Hes pale and has long black hair LOL

Sentomaru never had a Marine rank if I recall right. He was just part of the science department of Vegapunks.
Edit: Never mine he did have a marine rank, Captain of the science department. So yeah your right gohan he probably did get a rank up, rocking that coat.
Sentomaru's new look gives him that strong intimidating aura, probably only 'cause of the cape.
Keep them coming guys, thanks to those who posted the spoilers.

Ulster will hope 13 years of hurt finally ends on Saturday as they look to overcome Edinburgh and thus return to a Heineken Cup Final.
Ulster will be hoping that 13 years of hurt will finally come to an end as they look to overcome Edinburgh and thus return to a Heineken Cup Final stage.
It has been well over a decade since the Northern Irish side beat Colomiers at Lansdowne Road in a game that saw over 30,000 fans travel over the border. David Humphreys lifted the coveted trophy on that day after 80 minutes that saw 18 of their 21 points scored by the reliable Simon Mason.
Fast-forward to today and it won't be a full-back but a scrum-half who Ulster will hope kicks their points, with Ruan Pienaar the man with the tee. Pienaar has been superb for the Ravenhill outfit all season at either nine or ten and there is no doubt Edinburgh have been making their notes.
That man with the scribbles on pieces of paper is former Connacht coach Michael Bradley, who is confident of his wealth of knowledge of Ulster.
"Munster made three mistakes which were 51 to 53 metres from their line, and that was 9 points, so we have got to be careful about that," he told the Belfast Telegraph of Pienaar. "But we don't fear anyone now. We will put together a game plan that can and will work if we execute it."
Let us be clear that while Edinburgh go into this game as underdogs, they have not got to this stage without impressive performances, as their victory over Toulouse in the last round proved. Before that they defeated London Irish, Racing-Metro and Cardiff Blues in their Pool, winning five out of six. That is why many, both in and outside of Ulster, have been quick to highlight that Edinburgh are a different proposition in Europe than the RaboDirect PRO12.
They have a solid pack that is bulging in the back-row department where David Denton, Ross Rennie and Netani Talei reside, which throws up for a mouth-watering clash with Stephen Ferris, Willie Faloon and Pedrie Wannenburg. One cannot underplay just how pivotal those personal battles could be in the context of events at the Aviva Stadium.
It is of little surprise that coach Bradley has selected that same back-three and indeed the identical starting XV that toppled Toulouse in their memorable Heineken Cup quarter-final.
He rested a number of players for last week's trip to Cardiff Blues and has reverted to a refreshed version of the side that made history in front of 38,000 at Murrayfield on April 7.
Lock Steven Turnbull's bench replacement of Stuart McInally is the only change to their 23.
Meanwhile, Ulster will be without key players John Afoa (suspension) and Chris Henry (injury), with youngster Paddy Jackson starting at number ten ahead of Ian Humphreys.
Henry has been ruled out after failing to recover from an ankle sprain picked up in the PRO12 match against Leinster last weekend. Other injury concerns Paddy Wallace, Wannenburg and Paul Marshall have all been passed fit, with the latter on the bench.
"Edinburgh are one of the form teams in Europe. They beat Toulouse, one of the kingpins of the competition, and you have to respect them for that," said coach Brian McLaughlin.
"They have a great spine; their pack is full of internationals and they have an excellent back row. They have international half backs who are very good at controlling the game so it will be a big challenge for us. They are not going to fear coming to the Aviva."
McLaughlin meanwhile is confident that Jackson will rise to the occasion as well in Dublin.
"Paddy has come in over the last few weeks and done exceptionally well. His performances have warranted selection. It's a very tough call on Ian who has been exceptional for us over the past couple of seasons, but we felt Paddy deserved a shot," he added.
Ones to watch:
For Ulster: Much rests on the showing of Paddy Jackson. If he makes his first touch-finder and enjoys early front-foot ball then Ulster could be in for a strong evening from their number ten. However, if things don't start well then the 'hosts' passage to the final could become all the more tricky. Jackson's selection follows a strong showing last week but if he struggles to back that up then comfort is found in Paul Marshall and Ian Humphreys on the bench.
For Edinburgh: One player who has quietly and consistently gone about his business this season has been number eight Netani Talei. Man-of-the-match against Toulouse in their quarter-final success at Murrayfield, Talei has shown time and time again that he is a force to be reckoned with. Anyone who can keep Scotland international number eight David Denton on the blindside flank must be pretty good. Elsewhere in the Edinburgh ranks, the performance of half-back duo Greig Laidlaw and Mike Blair is going to be critical as semi-finals need kickers in top form while Blair will need to knock Ruan Pienaar off his game.
Head-to-head: A titanic battle comes in the front-row where the absence of John Afoa could prove costly. Declan Fitzpatrick will subsequently come in at tighthead will go toe-to-toe with Scotland's Allan Jacobsen. In another match-up this week, expect fireworks between the aforementioned Denton and Ulster's quarter-final man-of-the-match, Stephen Ferris.
Prediction: Edinburgh are a different side in this competition, but Ulster to nick it by 5!
The teams:
Ulster: 15 Stefan Terblanche, 14 Andrew Trimble, 13 Darren Cave, 12 Paddy Wallace, 11 Craig Gilroy, 10 Paddy Jackson, 9 Ruan Pienaar, 8 Pedrie Wannenburg, 7 Willie Faloon, 6 Stephen Ferris, 5 Dan Tuohy, 4 Johann Muller (capt), 3 Declan Fitzpatrick, 2 Rory Best, 1 Tom Court.
Replacements: 16 Nigel Brady, 17 Paddy McAllister, 18 Adam Macklin, 19 Lewis Stevenson, 20 Robbie Diack, 21 Paul Marshall, 22 Ian Humphreys, 23 Adam D'Arcy.
Edinburgh: 15 Tom Brown, 14 Lee Jones, 13 Nick De Luca, 12 Matt Scott, 11 Tim Visser, 10 Greig Laidlaw (capt), 9 Mike Blair, 8 Netani Talei, 7 Ross Rennie, 6 David Denton, 5 Grant Gilchrist, 4 Sean Cox, 3 Geoff Cross, 2 Ross Ford, 1 Allan Jacobsen.
Replacements: 16 Andrew Kelly, 17 Kyle Traynor, 18 Jack Gilding, 19 Steven Turnbull, 20 Roddy Grant, 21 Chris Leck, 22 Phil Godman, 23 Jim Thompson.

Takes a little getting used to...
"...I say that only because they run a little longer to protect the toes and they are wide, but comfy, and because they are cushioned tend to cling ever so slightly when walking. I find having to be careful driving with these on as they are larger than my foot and I am conscious of that."

Skip to comments.Woman Arrested After Hitting Self With Frying Pan
Posted on 01/01/2009 1:22:41 PM PST by CE2949BB
OCALA, Fla. -- A woman in Ocala was jailed for hitting herself in the face with a frying pan and then blaming her estranged husband.
(Excerpt) Read more at wftv.com ...
TINAPL ping Slings and Arrows
Related to Plaxio????
Note to kelley..it didn't help..
Had she followed up with a few rounds to his chest instead of coming clean, we'd have another pristine self defense shooting.
I wouldn't even hit it with a frying pan!
If you aren't drawing blood, you aren't swinging hard enough!!!
Her husband must be a moron not to drop her like a bad habit
Egads!!! Hopefully she looks better afterwards. She can't get much uglier.
"I wouldn't even hit it with a frying pan!"
I think this needs to enter the FR lexicon.
Is the pan okay?
LOL. Sounds like a LooneyTune cartoon script.
Why is this newsworthy? Women are doing this all the time and GETTING AWAY WITH IT.
There are WEB SITES devoted to telling them how to do it and what to do afterwards (with catchy titles like "...so now he's in jail- what next?)
I know for a fact it happened to me. My ex hit herself and called the cops. I was arrested on nothing more than her word.
Thank GOD i was IN MY ATTORNEY's OFFICE at the time she claimed ithappened, so she was arrested for filing a false charge.
The DA initially refuse to do anything because he said it was just me "getting back at her". I had to tell him only ONE of us committed an actual crime (filing false arrest) and I lost my house, my business, and my reputation in the commmunity being paraded in court in handcuffs.
He finally filed charges after I threatedn to file a 'writ of mandamus' (to compel them to do their job. Then after telling me they postponed her court date for two weeks, reconvened it the next week without my knowlege and gave her a 6 months ACD - in other workds they did NOTHING if she was nice for 6 months then charges would be DROPPPED.
I dont know why this is not a FELONY to make someone go to jail falsely and cost 10's of thousands of dollars.
I wouldnt even hit it with a frying pan!
I think this needs to enter the FR lexicon.
Shouldn't that be, "I wouldn't hit it with YOUR frying pan!"
Are you sure she didn't beat herself with an ugly stick ?
Bubba Klingtong: "I'd hit it!"
Laz: "I would smite it like the fist of an angry god."
Laz: "I would smite it like the fist of an angry god."
It was a little hot about the incident, but has since simmered down.
Can I unhit what's been hit?
Just claim you were temporarily possessed, but you're all good now, LOL.
And BTW: GUILTY! She looks like she took a good beating to the face with a frying pan.
>> I think this needs to enter the FR lexicon.
I think it just did.
> Shouldnt that be, I wouldnt hit it with YOUR frying pan!
Maybe have two variants: "a frying pan" for seriously ugly, and "your frying pan" for over-the-top ugly.
Nope,once toy hit it,it's on your scorecard forever!
Nope,once you hit it,it's on your scorecard forever!
OUCH! That's nasty!
What did she look like before her face caught fire and she put it out with a frying pan?
It would have been totally more effective if she had hit him over the head with a frying pan.
Less painful to her too.
The internet is forever, Laz.
It was there... "I wouldn't even hit it with a frying pan!" in post 9... ya posted without reading the thread again, dintcha?
... sometimes you're the frying pan, sometimes you're the fire.
You guys are awful.
You might suspect that some women would tell the cops that they did it to themselves in order to avoid their husband's arrest. But either way, this lady needs a shrink at a minimum.
How come her glasses didn't break?
I second the motion.
Do we have a quorum to take a vote?
Imagine the fun were Ocala actually in the Panhandle.
Maybe you could beg the Mod to remove your post.
I wouldn't hit that with YOUR frying pan!
Chick's got crazy eyes man!
She should be charged with cruelty to a frying pan.
I made a similar point about the recent case of the woman who shot the man alleged to have abused her son in court, having died of cancer.
To many posters here she was a hero for killing a "paedophile", despite the fact that the man had been found guilty of nothing as he was in court awaiting his trial. Maybe the guy was as guilty as hell but until he'd had his trial no one could know for sure, but just like if a woman accuses a man of abuse he is automatically assumed to be guilty so many posters take the position that if a man is accused of being a paedophile he must automatically be guilty and should be shot on sight.

Great For The Armpits, Not So Great For The LegsThis epilator works good on the armpits. I epilated for the first time and it lasted two whole weeks until the hair started growing out. I also used it for the legs but it didn't do a great job at removing all the hair. And about the pain, it's not so bad. It's mostly a tingly sensation. But then again I am used to plucking and waxing. Maybe if your sensitive it will really hurt... Also, it doesn't get all the super tiny hair, but it gets most of it out. The little that is left, I can just pluck out with a tweezer. I would recommend this epilator especially for use in the underarmsJun 3, 2011Mimi / Long Beach, CaHAIR TYPEDark Brown / Normal Hair

It Doesnt Really Hurt That BadSo i was expecting my first time using this to be a painful one, it stung at first. But it wasnt that bad, i used it on my legs. I know it will hurt in other areas, but i'll try that another day. So i personally though it felt good, i know that may sound weird but it did. I wasn't so happy about the time it took, i had to go over parts multiple times, but i think thats because i shaved the day before yesterday, the longer hair picked up easily. and my thighs took to it better than my lower legs, theres still a bit of stubble there. but my overall expierance so far is pretty good. My legs do look like they have a rash, but im hoping it goes down by tomorrow. It does sund scary, but after you're done and feel the smoothness, especially on the inderside of your thighs its worth it. and the pain, I relate it to a big stretch when stretching your ears, except it stings a bit less. I suggest buying this product. I really like it(:May 16, 2011Rachel / AlaskaHAIR TYPEMedium Brown / Curly Hair / Thick or Coarse Hair

Awesome!!!!!I friggin love this thing!! I've read a few reviews saying how much it hurts, but I didn't think it was that bad and this is my first epilator/epilating experience. I've treated my arms, underarms, and upper lip with it and so far so good. Everything is super smooth! Ok yes, it does hurt, but it's not torture. Just wiggle your toes while you're doing it so you don't concentrate on the pain. If you've waxed before, you'll be able to withstand this awesome little tool. It will miss some hairs, but you just go over that area again and it's all fixed. The best part is knowing how much money I'm saving in the long run with this epilator compared to waxing multiple areas every month. :) Going to do my legs as soon as the hair grows out enough. I just shaved. I highly recommend this product!Feb 28, 2011Stephanie / CaliforniaHAIR TYPEBlack / Normal Hair

Wonderful Productbefore i rave about how much i love this product, i definitely want to say how much i love the service of follica. my order came SO MUCH EARLIER than i had expected. i was thrilled with how fast the shipping was and how fast my order was processed. i definitely will order from follica again.
now about the product, i absolutely love it. true, it takes a while to fully remove the hair on certain areas but its worth the time. the pain is bearable but after all beauty is pain right?
LOVE LOVE LOVE this product. i definitely recommend it!Feb 19, 2011Cheyenne

Awesome!I decided to buy an epilator after years of shaving and having dark under arms because of shaving. So I considered waxing or laser hair removal but then I came across reviews on epilators. I never heard of them prior to this so after reviewing many different epilators, I decided to buy this one. I got it in the mail a few days later and I was afraid because people said it did hurt. So I turned it on and the sound scared me a bit. I decided to just give it a try. I did and yes it did hurt! But it wasn't the worst pain in the world. After a while, I did get used to it...It's not three days since epilating and my armpits are still hairless and smooth. I love it!Jan 20, 2011Rita M. / Miami, FL

Better Than Shaving In Some Ways.I bought this epilator hoping it would be a way to escape shaving every four days. I'm kind of low maintenance so my ideal hair removing product would make my life more convenient by taking less time removing hair.
This epilator wasn't everything I expected it to be. In this review, I hope to give you enough information so that you know what to expect and are not disappointed like I was.
To start off, the epilator is pink and purple as shown, it fits perfectly in the hand and it has three settings: Off, 1, and 2. I use 1 when removing thinner hair (f/e. on my arms) and I use 2 when removing thicker hair (f/e. on my legs). If you are interested in buying this epilator, I would recommend searching it on youtube in order to get a more detailed description about what it looks like.
I had never used an epilator before so the first time definitely hurt. The pain was crazy and at one point, I wanted to give up and go back to shaving. To deal with the pain, I came up with a method: I focused on a small area at a time each day. I used the epilator on half my arm one day, then on the other half the next day, etc. This way, the pain was bearable. To my surprise, the least painful area to use the epilator on was my armpit. The first thing I don't like about the epilator is the amount of time is takes to remove the hair for the first time. If you use my method, it takes about a week, depending on how many areas you're removing hair on. The pain makes it so inconvenient to use.
When using the epilator on an area for the first time, small red bumps appeared on my skin so I lathered them in lotion and they went away after a day or so. Fortunately, I did not get any ingrown hairs, in fact my ingrown hairs began fading after using this device. Before using the device I always showered and used the scrubber included to exfoliate the area I would be epilating. If I didn't do this step, the small red bumps on my skin would actually hurt and it would take longer for them to disappear, even if I had lotioned. Also, the epilator does not remove every hair, I'd say it misses about 1 every 20 so make sure to have a pair of tweezers nearby. The second thing I don't like about the epilator is the irritation is causes on the skin as well as not removing every hair. I wouldn't be able to quickly epilate if I needed to before going out.
The instructions say to charge the device for 16 hours prior to use, then for 8 hours whenever needed. I left my epilator on the charger for a full 24 hours, waiting for the small red light to change color. It never did. I couldn't figure out if it was supposed to turn green or not. I know this isn't a big deal, but I don't like that you don't know when it is fully charged or needs charging.
One thing I like about this device is the small pouch and goodies that come with it: a small cleaning comb to remove the hairs from the epilator, a scrubber to exfoliate in the shower, an additional head with massaging bristles, a charger, and instructions. The pouch itself has a clear plastic separator so it's easier to find things and it's not just a clutter. I recommend you use the small cleaning comb after every use to keep the epilator clean and functioning well. I also recommend you always use the scrubber to exfoliate before removing hair from any area to avoid painful red bumps. Lastly, I recommend you try the additional head with the massaging bristles because I think it helps keep pain levels low. It's also a smart move to always keep the instructions for future reference as well as for warranty details. The pouch would be perfect for traveling and going away on weekends because it's small, yet it fits everything comfortably.
Another thing I liked about the epilator was I didn't have to remove hair every four days. After about a week, I noticed my arms, legs, and armpits were still smooth. When removing hair with the epilator for the second time, it was not at all as painful. On a scale from 1-10, the pain had gone from a 10 to a 2. I think it has to do with there being less hair to remove at one time, as well as the hair being less thick. If the pain continued to be a factor, I would not recommend this product. However, after removing the hair with the epilator for the first time and getting the initial pain over with, the device became a little more convenient.
I do recommend the epilator to low maintenance type people who have the time.
Overall this product is just okay, it wasn't everything I expected it to be.

3rd Time CharmI had bought my wife an Emjoi gold 10 years or so ago and she loved it. It stopped taking a charge so I replaced it with a more expensive wet/dry Panasonic 360 with multiple heads for epilation or shave. She never really cared for the Panasonic so this Christmas I replaced it with the Emjoi Soft Caress Rechargeable Epilator. She asked me to review it as a definite 5 stars. The epilating time is much faster then the Panasonic and she prefers it to her beloved emjoi Gold as well. If your looking for an epilator, go with an Emjoi.Jan 5, 2011Scott S. / Maryland

Very Good ExperienceSo far I have used it once. It did a great job and held it's charge at least as long as I needed it (45 min for 2 full legs.) I had to go over areas a few times, but it was painless for me. (Though I am used to waxing etc. and am not too sensitive.) It did a great job picking up most of my hair. It was efficient and relatively painless. It is comfortable to hold and use and I am pretty sure I will be using it regularly from now on. I love that it is cordless and holds a charge well.Jan 2, 2011Tammy / TXHAIR TYPEDark Brown / Thick or Coarse Hair

It only takes a couple of minutes, and after you've isolated your own DNA, you can either drink it back down in a tasty "DNA shot" (great party trick) or better yet, purify it further for more analysis*.
Materials & Set Up
- 1/4 of a shot glass full of your saliva
- several drops of dish soap (look for sodium laurel sulfate in the ingredients)
- a pinch of table salt (1/16 of a teaspoon)
- some contact-lens cleaning solution, meat tenderizer, or pineapple juice (optional)
- Ice-cold 120-proof+ liquor (overproof rum works well)
The chemicals used in this experiment are "everyday" household items and are not particularly dangerous. Nonetheless, exercise extra caution and think twice if you decide to consume your DNA shot and ABSOLUTELY do not substitue rubbing alcohol, isopropyl alcohol, or any other non-consumable alcohol for the overproof rum we used. Besides using "denatured' alcohol, the other potential safety concern is the dishsoap added to the mixture. A couple drops won't hurt you, but if you are concerned about it, feel free to leave it out.

Projecting Payroll
We're getting closer to firing up the hot stove, so this seems to be a great time to look at the Royals contract obligations for the upcoming season.
Guaranteed Money
Billy Butler – $8 million
Jeff Francoeur – $6.75 million
Aaron Crow – $1.1 million
The Butler contract hits the second year arbitration escalator. And if that number seems hefty for a player with that kind of service time, remember he signed for less that he submitted to the Royals prior to the arbitration process last year. According to FanGraphs, Butler's production was worth $8.1 million. And that was probably the least productive year of his last three. Still a good piece of business by GMDM, I say. Even if he clogs the bases. That number does not include what is thought to be a pro-rated signing bonus of $500k.
The Frenchy money is an estimate based on his two-year, $13.5 million extension.
The Crow deal is a leftover from his major league deal signed after the 2009 draft.
Joakim Soria – $6 million ($750k buyout)
No-brainer. The option would have escalated to $6.5 million if he had become a starter. But he didn't.
First Year Arbitration Eligible
Mitch Maier – $459k
Chris Getz – $443k
Aaron Laffey – $432k
Laffey, as I wrote earlier, is insurance. The deadline to offer contracts for the 2012 season is December 12. If GMDM isn't able to bring in a couple of bullpen arms by then, Laffey will get tendered a contract. Simple as that. He could be gone before then if the Royals are super aggressive and need the room on the 40-man roster.
Maier would probably get around $650k, I imagine. That's not too much for a fourth outfielder. Do the Royals want to dip into the prospect pool for the fourth guy? I don't think so. They know what they have in Maier… A guy who shows up, works hard and doesn't complain. (And when they're short an arm, he can pitch!) If they're really looking to save a few bucks, the could bring up David Lough. Clearly, they don't think of him as anything more than a fourth outfielder at this point. I'd rather they spend a few hundred thousand more and keep Our Mitch around for another season.
And you know my opinion on Getz. There's no reason for him to be tendered a contract. He's a utility player without utility. The Royals picked up their 2012 utility guy when they grabbed Yamaico Navarro from the Red Sox. He may play with less GRIT, but he can play more positions.
Second Year Arbitration Eligible
Brayan Pena – $660k
Felipe Paulino – $790k
Luke Hochevar – $1.76 million
Pena is an interesting case. He stands to make around $800k next year, but has confirmed that he can't play defense and the lone reason for him to be kept around – his OPB ability – has vanished. Manny Pina would be an adequate backup and the Royals have gone on the record saying they don't think they need to have a veteran catcher on the roster. Besides, with new bench coach Chino Cadahia in the fold, there's the catching experience right there. I don't think Pena will be tendered a contract.
Paulino and Hochevar are no-doubters. MLB Trade Rumors has Paulino doubling his salary to around $1.6 million. Given he proved to be a durable and decent starter for the Royals, I can't argue with that. Hochevar will get a nice raise as well. Somewhere in the neighborhood of $4 million.
Third Year Arbitration Eligible
Alex Gordon – $1.4 million
This is where the Royals are going to have to reach for their pocketbooks. Gordon was worth $31 million on the open market based on his 2011 production. Obviously, he's not going to get that kind of coin, but it just gives you some perspective at how good he was for the Royals last year. Domination.
Gordon lacks a solid track record and that's kept his salary depressed as he enters his third go around on the arbitration wheel. It will continue to hurt him here, as he stands to get a raise somewhere around $5 million. That's assuming the Royals don't do the right thing and extend him.
Fourth Year Arbitration Eligible
Melky Cabrera – $1.25 million
Cast off from the Braves last year, the Melk-Man took a hefty pay cut to play for the Royals. He made $3.1 million in 2010. Look for him to bounce to the $4 million range.
Free Agents
Bruce Chen
Jeff Francis
Jason Kendall
Sigh… Another Kendall sighting. Last one. Promise.
Chen projects to be a Type B free agent which means the Royals could be in line for some compensation if they offer him arbitration. Last winter, Chen shopped for a two-year deal, but returned to the Royals when it was obvious he couldn't find a taker. He'll be looking for something similar this time around. And again, I think he will have some problem finding what he's looking for. He's proven himself, but as Ozzie Guillen so eloquently put it, it's "Bruce F'n Chen."
I think the Royals will offer Chen arbitration. At least, they should. If he accepts, the Royals have a serviceable starter for around $3.5 million. If he declines, they get a supplemental. Win-win.
Assuming Getz and Pena are non-tendered, and assuming Laffey sticks and Chen departs as a free agent, the Royals are somewhere in the range of $38 million for their guaranteed and arbitration contracts. Add another $7 million for the remaining 15 players filling out the roster (assuming each of the remaining players have less than three years of service time), and you have a current projected payroll of close to $45 million. Probably a little more because they will certainly have a couple of guys on the 25 man roster that aren't currently in the picture.
Of course, this is all extremely preliminary. Trades will be made. It's possible a free agent may be lured to KC. What this represents is a snapshot in time of where the Royals are with their payroll. I'll revisit this from time to time this winter. It will be interesting to see how the off season payroll evolves.

There's been a bit of an interruption in this blog, due entirely to the invitation I received from Hamish Moore to play at the LBPS evening at the Festival Club during Glasgow's Piping Live! week [that leads up to the World Pipe Band Championships]. I've spent the past several weeks working pretty determinedly on several sets of tunes, chosen in an attempt to cover as many of the various tune-forme and rhythms that form the foundation of the Lowland piping repertoire. The plan now is to cover these forms and review how that intensive practice period developed my understnding. Meanwhile, here's the only record I have of that event:

"I ordered these shoes a few weeks ago for a go-to shoe for work and they're great. They're just the right height, and very stylish with anything from a pant suit to a skirt. The only negative I would say is that after wearing them for a good 8 hours they feel a little narrow in the toe area, but I guess that could happen with any shoe. All in all, a really great shoe!!"

"Due to drought conditions, many of our streams currently have extremely low flows," reports Louis Berg, DWR Regional Aquatics Manager. "Pondtown Creek (tributary to Scofield Reservoir), Upper Gooseberry Creek (tributary to Gooseberry Reservoir), and Upper Huntington/Boulger (tributaries to Electric Lake) are examples. Many of the fish in these waters have been or probably will be lost."
On Aug. 14, the daily trout limit at Electric Lake in Emery County was increased to eight fish. The restriction, which required anglers to use artificial flies and lures only, was removed. The new limit and removal of tackle restrictions will remain in effect through Dec. 31. On Jan. 1, the regulations set by the Utah Wildlife Board for 2003 will become effective.
"A fish kill is in progress at Wrigley Springs Reservoir, " states Louis Berg, DWR Regional Aquatics Manager. "Live fish are lethargic and probably not very willing to bite. The same situation occurred last year, over an extended period, and resulted in an almost complete kill of fish in the lake. Anglers who catch fish here should keep them (a legal limit), rather than releasing them to be wasted."
Abajo Mountains.Foy Reservoir continues to provide good fishing with PowerBait. Lures are also working in the morning and evening. Morning and evening fishing has been good at Monticello Reservoir, where the limit has been raised to eight fish, until Nov. 1. PowerBait is the most effective offering. Spinners work in the morning and evening. Fishing is fair with PowerBait at Blanding #3. Recapture Reservoir offers fair trout fishing with PowerBait. At Recapture, the daily bag and possession limit has been doubled for all game fish until Nov. 1. The daily bag and possession limits for all game fish have also been doubled at Lloyds Lake until Nov. 1, due to low water conditions and expected loss of fish.
Benchs Pond. Fishing has been slow from mid-morning until late afternoon. We recommend that anglers use dry flies in the early morning and evening. Baits have not been very effective.
Blue Lake. Access is walk-in or by ATV. The lake was not stocked this year.
Boulger Pond. Fishing has been slow with baits. Try dry flies in the early morning or evening.
Cleveland Reservoir.The daily bag and possession limits have been raised to 8 fish until November 1st. Anglers are encouraged to harvest the fish before the reservoir drains. Fishing has been fair for anglers using PowerBait or worms.
Duck Fork Reservoir. Anglers are harvesting good numbers of fish. Cutthroat trout are averaging about 16 inches and tiger trout about 10 inches. Worms appear to be the best bait. The new daily bag limit is 16 fish. Anglers may use any legal bait, lure or fly pattern. Lots of fish remain to be caught before the rotenone treatment project in mid-September. The shoreline is somewhat muddy but still accessible. Beginning Oct. 1, harvest of cutthroat trout will be prohibited to protect newly stocked Colorado River cutthroat trout. Tackle restrictions requiring the use of artificial flies or lures will also take effect at that time.
Electric Lake. "An emergency change in fishing regulations has been made at Electric Lake," remarks Louis Berg. "This lake is expected to become empty in February. Anglers may now take a limit of 8 fish and may use any legal bait. Formerly the limit was two fish and anglers were required to use artificial flies or lures. The changes, intended to help prevent the wasting of fish, will remain in effect until Jan. 1."
Ferron Reservoir. Little pressure and generally slow fishing conditions. Anglers are encouraged to harvest the illegally introduced brook trout, which may eventually overpopulate the lake, resulting in small fish in poor condition.
Gigliotti PondI. The DWR hopes to have the repairs completed and the pond refilled before the end of the year. The trout limit is eight, the largemouth bass limit is six, and the bluegill limit is 50. On Sept. 1, limits and restrictions identified in the 2002 Fishing Proclamation will resume.
Gooseberry Reseroivr. An angler contracted "swimmers itch" at Gooseberry Reservoir earlier in August. Swimmers itch is an itching dermatitis due to penetration into the skin of larval forms of schistosomes (trematode worms and flukes). Although extremely annoying, swimmers itch is neither communicable nor fatal. Antihistamines can be used to help alleviate the itching and topical steroid creams may reduce the swelling. The itching and swelling generally persist for several days. If you believe you have swimmers itch, please consult your doctor and notify a public health official.
Huntington Creek. Fishing success has been spotty with baits and lures. Fly-fishing has been much better with a size 12 Prince nymph, Renegade or Ugly. The limit is two trout in the "fly only" zone, which is on a portion of the Right Fork. Anglers on the Left Fork of the Huntington must use artificial flies or lures. Harvest of brown trout on the left fork is encouraged, where the limit is four fish.
Huntington North Reservoir. Slow fishing conditions. The limit is two bass. All bass over 12 inches must be immediately released.
Huntington Reservoir. Fish are deep this time of year. Anglers fishing during the day need to get their fly, lure or bait down to a depth of about 20 feet. Tiger trout range up to about 15 inches. Release of tiger trout is encouraged so that fish can grow larger. Any brown trout caught should be harvested. The reservoir is closed to the possession of cutthroat trout and trout with cutthroat markings.
Joe's Valley Reservoir.Virtually no fishing pressure. Due to extremely low water levels, boats cannot be launched. Anglers are encouraged to release all larger splake for control of the abundant Utah chub population. The splake limit is two fish. All splake between 15-20 inches must be immediately released.
Lasal Mountains.The daily bag and possession limit for Kens Lake has been doubled for all game fish until Nov. 1 due to low water conditions and expected loss of fish. Dark Canyon offers fair fishing for 9-12 inch trout with traditional baits and lures. Blue Lake is fair to good with spinners and flies.
Lower Fish Creek. Flows remain moderate. Aquatic vegetation is thick along the shoreline. Fishing has been good for fly anglers walking the middle of the channel and casting toward the shore. The prince nymph has been an effective fly pattern. Most trout are less than 14 inches. From the railroad bridge approximately one mile below the Scofield Reservoir dam downstream to the confluence with the White River, only artificial flies and lures may be used.
Miller Flat Reservoir. Fishing has been fair with Roostertails or a fly and bubble. The daily bag and possession limits have been raised to 8 trout to help anglers harvest the trout before the reservoir drains
Pete's Hole. Fishing has been excellent with an olive wooly bugger in the evening. Bait fishermen have had only fair success. The Jake's Spin-a-Lure has been the most effective spinner. The daily bag and possession limit is four trout.
Potter's Ponds.Fishing success remains fair to good. A bear has been frequenting the campground. Please keep a clean campsite and don't leave fish or entrails behind.
Scofield Reservoir. Fishing for rainbow trout is fair from boats and poor to fair from shore with PowerBait. Fishing is better for boaters because fish are in deep water trying to avoid uncomfortably warm surface water. Most of the fish being caught are 16-19 inches in length.
Willow Reservoir.Fishing success has been slow. Early morning fishing provides the best results.
Wrigley Srpings Reservoir. A fish kill is in progress. This occurred last year, resulting in an almost total die-off.

The LEGO Movie (rated PG), hits theaters on February 7, 2014, and we have an exclusive interview with the Emmet, the main character from the film.
Welcome, Emmet. Thanks for answering our questions!
Q: What is the best part about people thinking you are a "Special?"
Emmet: First off, how cool is it that you're asking ME a question?! Before, I don't think anyone ever even thought about me, let alone wanted to ask me a question. Second off, what was the question? I kind of forgot after being so excited that I get to answer a question.
Q: What is the worst part?
Emmet: The worst part. Geesh. The worst part? Um . . . What. Is. The. Worst. Part. Let's pretend I didn't hear the question. Can we do that?
Q: What does it feel like to save the world from the evil Lord Business?
Emmet: That's easy: Awesome. Totally awesome! I still can't believe I did that.
Q: Did you ever have any doubts about being able to save the world?
Emmet: Me? No. Never . . . Maybe a few. Yes . . .Lots!
Q: What was it like working with Wyldstyle and all the Master Builders?
Emmet: Hard at first. Then harder after that. Then it got a tad bit easier. But then it got a whole lot harder. Maybe even hardest at the end. But now, we just look back and laugh.
Q: Metalbeard looks INSANELY awesome! What was it like to work with him?
Emmet: Whenever you get a chance to work with someone with a shark on his arm, you TAKE it!
Q: Did you ever feel out of your depth?
Emmet: I still don't know what it feels like to be IN my depth. Oh no. Does that make me shallow?
Q: What do you like to do in your free time?|
Emmet: The usual stuff: Watch TV. Grab a coffee. Save the world.
Q: What is your favorite color?
Emmet: Hmm . . . Green . . . no . . . Yellow . . . no wait . . . it's back to green again. Definitely green. Wait, can I choose chartreuse?
Q: What is your favorite food?
Emmet: Tacos.
Q: Has your life changed now that you are the Master Builder AND the star of your own movie? Do people recognize you on the street?
Emmet: Totally. People recognize me all the time now. They say, "Hey, watch out for that car!" Or "Hey, is that for here or to go?" So, I guess my life has changed a lot now that I'm a Master Builder.
That and I've got the most amazing friends in the whole entire world. Life's pretty good.
Q: How did you like making the movie?
Emmet: Are you kidding me? It was the best!!! On a scale from one to ten, I'd give it a solid thirteen and a half.
Q: Would you like to make another movie?
Emmet: Um, yeah! But next time, maybe Batman can be a little nicer to me. That guy can be really dark sometimes.
Watch the movie trailer, and tell us what you think in the Comments!

DP Anghel Decca, whose credits include the pilots for HBO's "Entourage" and TNT's "Witchblade," reports that his first HDTV project was Midnight Bayou, a film for Lifetime. His second HD shoot is Ben 10: Alien Swarm, a TV movie based on the popular Cartoon Network show. "It's aimed at a bit older audience than the series, so all the characters are in their late teens and drive fast cars, and find aliens," says Decca. "It's fast-paced with very intense visuals, and the big challenge of shooting and lighting an HDTV show is making it look like film as much as possible. And in this, we also had a mix of live and CG characters, so it was very important to deliver very detailed, consistent footage to the postproduction for all the visual effects work, so they could do very clean compositing."
Ben 10 was shot on location in Atlanta over some five weeks. "[We shot] scenes at the Atlanta Aquarium, which is this beautiful, modern building, and a lot of night exterior scenes" notes Decca, who shot the movie with the Sony F23. "[The F23] came out about 18 months ago so it's a fairly new camera, and people have been learning how to use them and discovering their full potential. With the 2/3-inch chip, it comes pretty close to film, though not as close as the [Panavision] Genesis or the newer Sony F35. The main difference from film is that they have a little too much depth of field, so I have to light everything for less depth of field. Otherwise, I light it pretty much the same as I would if I was shooting film, and tried to consistently get the T-stop between 2.5 and 2.8, so I get a limited depth of field and get more of a 35mm look."
For night exteriors, Decca used ARRI 18Ks and 12Ks. "I'd [also] have three or four Condors most of the times, so I'd use a lot of those lights spread around," he says. For day exteriors, Decca used very little fill light. "I'd just take advantage of the extreme dynamic range this camera has, which is almost film-like, and used bounces to reflect." And for small interiors, he always likes to use Kino Flo ParaBeams. "I had several units of those that Paskal Lighting brought from L.A. just for this show, and that helps me light very fast as they have built-in dimmers and ballast, and that makes lighting more efficient. They also have these very narrow-focusing louvers that act like barn doors, so they're very flexible units." When the DP needed to light through windows, he used a combination of ARRI 12K Pars and 18K Fresnels with minimal color correction and no diffusion because he likes to shape and deepen shadows.
This project was Decca's second long-form HDTV shoot, but his methods haven't changed. "Working with the Sony F23s proved to me that I don't really have to change my lighting approach that much from my film work," he says. "I can light in the same style that I like without compromising the final look. Of course, the F23 still doesn't have the dynamic range of film, like a 5219 KODAK, but it's close enough for some projects."

No Mark Upon Her (Paperback)
When a K9 search-and-rescue team discovers a woman's body in the Thames, Scotland Yard superintendent Duncan Kincaid finds himself heading an investigation fraught with complications. The victim, the talented and difficult Rebecca Meredith, was an Olympic rowing contender on the verge of a controversial comeback. She was also a high-ranking detective with the Met a fact that raises a host of sensitive issues in an already tangled case.
To further complicate the situation, a separate investigation, led by Detective Inspector Gemma James, Kincaid's wife, soon reveals a disturbing and possibly related series of crimes, widening the field of suspects. But when someone tries to kill the search-and-rescue team member who found Rebecca's body, the case becomes even more dangerous. Pressured to find answers quickly while protecting the Yard at all costs and with his career and reputation on the line, Kincaid must race to catch the killer before more innocent lives are lost including his own.

July 30, 2009 By Hilton Collins
When you buy software, you probably trust that you're getting a secure product that runs well. This faith may come from the fact that the source code - the digital DNA that tells the program how to work and what to do - is hidden from consumers. In most cases, only the select programmers tasked with maintenance and security can see it and make changes.
Closed or proprietary code is the engine of legions of vendor-made products. Many of them, like Microsoft's nearly ubiquitous Windows software, are closed code to prevent piracy and duplication by competitors or users. And for some license owners, the perceived benefit of closed code is that if no one sees it, those who intend to do harm can't see the software's vulnerabilities easily and how to exploit them.
The prevalence of open source code, however, could make one wonder how much secret code matters. The term "open source" generally refers to programs in which people can view or modify the programming code. Open code is developed in a collaborative environment where programmers can make changes that are visible for the community to see. People can download many of these programs free of charge and can choose to join the development process by making modifications or viewing changes as they see fit.
But does this openness make it less secure than its closed source brethren? Open source advocates certainly don't think so.
"You know exactly what needs to be done to secure it and what vulnerability it has. It's quantifiable; it's knowable," said Christopher Adelman, vice president of sales and marketing for Alien Vault. Alien Vault created OSSIM (Open Source Security Information Management). "The problem with closed source solutions is there's a certain leap of faith associated with closed source software."

What ever happened to our democracy?
Democracy requires some sort of equality and honesty if it is to survive. Think about it. Some of the more famous "forced-truths" that an oligarchy of wealth has foisted on us that simply are not true...
When big business and wealthy individuals prosper, the wealth trickles down to the general public. Wow, is this not true. And this has never, EVER been proven true on a national scale.
We have nothing to hide. The John Doe probe and the immense effort to squash it by right-wing groups makes it obvious that there is much to hide. And what prompted this second John Doe investigation of Scott Walker and the Republicans in Wisconsin? The fact that the first John Doe resulted in a number of Walker's staff when he was County Executive going to jail. Why would all this out-of-state money be poured into stopping the uncovered information of the second John Doe from being released to the general public? What is it that the right-wing does not want us to know about what has been and continues to be uncovered? The citizens of this state have a right to know, and then make their own judgments about its relevance to them. This is a huge scandal that is trying to be silenced.
The Climate Change scare has not been proven. Huh? About 98% of the scientists who are experts regarding climate have heartily supported the information and conclusions offered about how man is bringing about severe climate change that will affect all the citizens of the world and the environment they live in.
We have too much government involved in our lives. It is the right-wing, conservatives, Republicans that want to have the government snooping around your physician's examining room to decide about how women should be checked and restricted concerning their own bodies. These same right-wingers want to close government facilities, but not in their district where they bring in money. They want the government using Christian images on government property. They want the government to spend tax money to support religious charter schools. They want the U.S. military to get involved around the world to protect the greed of American corporations. They want the government to stop protecting you from health-damaging products and corporate actions, and give tax breaks to the wealthy and huge corporations. It is the political right that wants to pull the strings and effect your life far more than the left.
Fox News is "fair and balanced." If you believe that then let me offer you a deal on a bridge in Brooklyn. Rupert Murdoch and Fox are obviously and in a sinister manner biased toward the political right.
Let the people decide. What? Who did the majority of Americans vote for in 1990? Which political party has led the battle to re-configure the voting districts in the U.S. so that Republicans gain an unfair advantage?
The United States of America does not resort to torture. Oh yes it does! During the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan there were plenty of examples of the U.S. using torture on people in dark places around the world. In fact, the sick mind of Vice President Dick Cheney seemed to wallow in torture tactics.
Our Founding Fathers and the U.S. Constitution with its amendments provide for one citizen-one vote. No it does not, apparently. The Supreme Court has designated strange configurations of corporations as citizens with a vote. Your vote equals that of Halliburton or the Club For Growth [without the money and influence, of course that you do not have]. Wealth equals voting power. Is that the U.S. you want?
Between now and the next election you will be told many facts that are not truths. You should feel an obligation to know the candidates, know the issues, and know what you are up against. Your one vote only exists if you fight for it. Otherwise the wealth oligarchy that rules more and more of the U.S. will simply plow you under. The steamroller of money and bought-influence are stealing your democracy.

FIVB announces Olympic qualifying process for indoor and beach volleyball
LAUSANNE (FIVB)- The International Volleyball Federation (FIVB) has announced the indoor and beach volleyball Olympic qualification process for the 2012 Olympic Games, following the IOC ratification of the FIVB Board of Administration's decision made in April.
The Volleyball competition at the 2012 Olympic Games in London will take place at Earls Court while Beach Volleyball will be held at the Horse Guards Parade. The dates for both competitions are July 28–August 12.
Indoor Volleyball
The qualification process for the 12 teams per gender (24 in total) will consist of the following:
1 host country (Great Britain)
3 from the 2011 World Cup (first, second and third)
1 from each Continental Qualification Tournament (played between December 15, 2011-January 15, 2012)
3 from the World Olympic Qualification Tournaments
The opening qualifying event for the 2012 Olympic Games will be the 2011 World Cup in Japan which will run from November 4-18 for women and November 20-December 4 for men. A total of 12 teams per gender (hosts Japan, 2011 Continental champions, four 2011 Continental vice-champions placed highest on the FIVB World Rankings and two wildcards) will compete for the three vacancies on offer in each tournament.
The World Olympic Qualification Tournaments consist of three tournaments for men and one for women to be held between May 15-31, 2012.
Beach Volleyball
The qualification process for the 24 pairs per gender (48 in total) will consist of the following:
1 host country (Great Britain)
16 from the World ranking (i.e. 12 best results between the World Championships, World Tour and recognized Continental Tour during the period 1 January 2011 until 17 June 2012)
5 from the Continental Beach Volleyball World Cup (played between June 1, 2010-June 24, 2010)
2 from the FIVB Beach Volleyball World Cup Final Olympic Qualification (25 June – 1 July 2012)
The qualification criteria for Beach Volleyball at the 2012 Olympic Games has undergone a major change with countries rather than individual teams qualifying and the introduction of the Continental Beach Volleyball Cup and the Beach Volleyball World Cup Olympic Qualification Tournament.
The calendar of events for the qualification is in progress and will be announced in the forthcoming months.
In previous Olympics, the top 23 teams on the World ranking plus one host country team (granted) qualified for the Olympic Games. The 2012 edition of the Olympic Qualification system will offer the opportunity to more countries to compete within three types of qualifying tournaments for a quota place (s) at the Olympic Games as follows: 16 vacancies will be obtained through the World ranking, five from the Continental Beach Volleyball Cup and two more from the FIVB Beach Volleyball World Cup Olympic Qualification tournament. With a maximum country quota of two pairs, nations who have not qualified two places through the World ranking, have another chance to qualify these places through the Continental Beach Volleyball Cup and again, countries who have not qualified two quota places in the previous two competitions can qualify through the Olympic Qualification process ending tournament - the FIVB Beach Volleyball World Cup Olympic Qualification Tournament.
To be eligible for the 2012 Olympic Games from the World ranking, athletes must have participated in at least 12 FIVB official Olympic qualification tournaments as an individual (World Tour/World Championships/recognized Continental Final) scheduled from January 1, 2011 until June 17, 2012.
To be eligible to qualify through the Continental Beach Volleyball Cup and/or FIVB Beach Volleyball World Cup, and/or Olympic Trials, athletes must have participated as an individual in at least 12 Continental Beach Volleyball Cup, National and/or Continental and/or FIVB events scheduled from June 1, 2010 until June 24, 2012.
Once a vacancy is earned, an NOC/NF can stage National Olympic Trials from July 3-8, 2012 to determine the athletes to participate at the 2012 Olympic Games in London, respecting the athlete technical eligibility requirements.

Issue 108
Although it's rich in history, holds a permanent spot in many family recipe boxes, and is often used as a wedding cake in England, fruitcake is a much-maligned confection in the United States. That's unfortunate, because a rich cake made with liquor-soaked fruit certainly sounds delicious. And as we've come to learn, it absolutely is.
Fruitcake varieties abound, but most fall into one of two categories: the more traditional dark, made with molasses or brown sugar and heavy on spice, or the light-colored golden fruitcake, which includes ingredients like almonds and honey. You'll find both versions so delectable you'll be loath to give them away.
If it's been a few Christmases since you last made fruitcake, try one (or both) of these recipes.
Use dried fruit Fruitcake is only as good as its fruit. Instead of using super-sweet, artificial-tasting candied fruit, experiment with your favorite dried varieties: apricots, figs, cherries, and cranberries all work. But be sure to presoak the fruit you use—it will up the flavor and add moisture to your cake.Mix your batter thoroughly Since traditional fruitcake recipes don't include baking powder or baking soda, volume depends on thorough mixing. Adding a couple tablespoons of flour to the batter before beating in the rest helps emulsify and aerate the batter.Keep the temperature low Due to its dense nature, fruitcake is best baked at a low temperature for a longer time—about an hour and a half for an 8-1/2 x 4-1/2-inch loaf pan.Baste your cake Use the rum that remains after soaking the fruit to baste your cooled cake. It makes it extra moist and flavorful and helps preserve the cake. If you plan to keep your fruitcake for longer than a week, baste it each week thereafter with a tablespoon or two of fresh rum.
Have these kitchen essentials on hand before you start the recipe:
• Liquid measuring cup
• Dry measuring cups
• Measuring spoons
• Rasp-style grater
• 2-quart saucepan with lid
• 8-1/2 x 4-1/2-inch metal loaf pan
• Medium bowl
• Stand mixer with a paddle attachment (or an electric hand mixer)
• Whisk
• Rubber spatula
• Cooling rack
• Pastry brush

Designed by bass fishing legend, Hank Parker, the Berkley Gripper Hank's Football Jig features an ideal football head design and line-tie placement that allows the jig to mimic live prey crawling on the rock bottom. Its medium wire hook and flexible weedguard allow for better hookups at greater depths and on longer casts, and its rubber skirt keeper is designed to keep skirt tentacles uniform. It also comes equipped with a rattle band for holding rattles if desired. Available in a range of proven colors, the Berkley Gripper Hank's Football Jig also features huge red eyes and a triple coned, double barbed bait keeper that grips trailer securely - even Berkley Gulp!

I am a hardcore fan of kale chips. Sadly, these were pretty bad. I am also a fan of spice, so I was shocked that these were not spiced in that nice, addicting kind of way. Stay away

These really are the best Kale Chips. I still can't wrap my head around the fact I'm eating something healthy, because it feels like such a treat.
