Ron Cook: Fleury's amazing save sends amazing signalsFebruary 3, 2014 11:44 PM
The big crowd of 18,579, the Penguins' 313th consecutive sellout, got it all Monday night and went home happy. A 2-1 win in overtime against the Ottawa Senators on a goal by James Neal. A spirited fight between Robert Bortuzzo and the Senators' Zack Smith. And, best of all, an incredible glove save by goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury to rob Erik Karlsson midway through the third period.
NHL.com immediately speculated it was the save of the year in the league, calling it "insane" and "ridiculous."
Penguins coach Dan Bylsma said it was the best save he has ever seen Fleury make, maybe the best he has ever seen live.
YouTube video: Fleury makes amazing glove save
The Penguins beat Ottawa in a Monday night game that featured an amazing glove save by goalie Marc-Andre Fleury. (YouTube video; 2/4/2014)
"Yes, flat out ... I don't know if there's one better. It was an amazing save."
It was a good thing Fleury was around after his NHL-leading 30th win of the season to keep things in perspective.
"It can't be the best," he said, grinning as usual. "Game 7 in the Stanley Cup."
Of course.
Fleury's save against Detroit's Nicklas Lidstrom in the final seconds of Game 7 in the 2009 final secured a 2-1 win and the Cup for the Penguins.
This one was a close second.
"The athleticism to get over there is one thing," Bylsma said. "But he had to go way up to get the puck. Karlsson didn't shoot it into his glove. He made that save."
It looked as if the Senators were going to take a 2-1 lead when winger Clarke MacArthur's cross-ice pass found Karlsson, seemingly alone to Fleury's left. Fleury slid all the way across his crease and managed to get his left, gloved hand up to snag the puck out of the air. Karlsson dropped to his knees in frustration. If you listened closely, you probably could hear the Consol Energy Center crowd chanting, "Fleur-ry!, Fleur-ry!"
"It's nice," Fleury said of the fans' reaction. "It feels like you're helping the team out. It's a good feeling."
The chant sounded pretty sweet to Fleury's teammates, as well.
"We're fortunate to play in front of him," said defenseman Rob Scuderi, who was on the ice at the time and had a front-row seat for Fleury's save. "We don't like to put him in that spot, but it's nice to know he's back there for us when we do."
Fleury would have had a second consecutive shutout at Consol Energy Center if not for a first-period goal by Stephane Da Costa that gave the Senators a 1-0 lead. "I didn't like that one ... To the short side," Fleury said, fairly spitting out the words.
The save against Karlsson more than made up for it. Earlier, Fleury made a big save on a deflection by Mike Zibanejad. Later, he made a nice stop against Jason Spezza in close.
Fleury has become almost unbeatable at home where he has a 20-3 record this season. It's no wonder he's the first NHL goaltender to 30 wins. This is the fifth consecutive full season he has hit that number.
Not that Fleury was especially impressed.
"Forty wins is the goal," he said. "Always 40."
Fleury won 40 games in 2006-07 and 42 in 2011-12.
All of his home brilliance makes for wonderful nights for Penguins fans, but Fleury knows he will be judged by and remembered for what he does in the playoffs. He had those 42 wins two years ago but didn't play well in a first-round loss to the Philadelphia Flyers. He had another superb regular season a year ago, going 23-8 in the 48-game lockout-shortened season, but then lost his starting job to backup Tomas Vokoun in the first round of the postseason against the New York Islanders.
Fleury really hasn't been better than ordinary in the playoffs since he made that fabulous save against Lidstrom in 2009.
His teammates are on record as saying that will change, starting in April. Scuderi was the latest to join that group.
"I wasn't here last year, but I don't sense that anyone in this room has lost any confidence in him. No, not at all."
Actually, the Penguins stood solidly behind Fleury even after he was benched in the Islanders series. All of the players, starting with captain Sidney Crosby, were quick to say they were just as responsible for the Islanders goals. "We didn't do a very good job in front of Marc," Crosby said repeatedly.
The belief in Fleury carried into this season and might be at an all-time high after the save on Karlsson in a hard-fought win against a team desperately trying to climb into the playoff picture.
"All of us believe he's going to play great not only in regular games, but when we need a big save in a big spot in a big game," Scuderi said.
Certainly, Fleury has done nothing to make anyone think otherwise.

The sun is shining on Chinese solar stocks today.
Yingli Green Energy (YGE) has gained 2.4% to $3.79, while LDK Solar (LDK) has jumped 2.2% to $1.41. ReneSola (SOL) is up 3% at $2.75, Trina Solar (TSL) has climbed 3.3% to $6.89 and Canadian Solar (CSIQ) has ticked up 2.1% to $11.25.
The 2013 U.S. InterSolar conference ends today, and some analysts are out with their thoughts. Here's Lazard's Sanjay Shrestha and Aditya Satghare with their takeaways:
We met with a number of industry participants at InterSolar US 2013 and, consistent with recent commentary, we continue to see a stabilizing pricing environment. We also continue to see ongoing consolidation in the midstream and somewhat lower disruptive pricing behavior in the industry. Japan remains a market of choice in the NT, and manufacturers are taking a cautious stance in supplying to the European market. We believe an improving operating environment should benefit our preferred players in the US, with SunPower (SPWR)as our favorite idea. Within the China solar complex, we maintain our positive bias toward Canadian Solar (we remain NEUTRAL given recent run and inherent sector volatility); however, we do not see a clear path to profitability for most of the Chinese manufacturers.

|Yak Attack Kayaks and flyfishing = ultimate stealth
|Topic Review (Newest First)
Sounds good and I still have the box and can ship it whenever. Mine is royal blue and not the red pictured. Hope it works out for you and you are not a stickler for color. Now you have to figure out something else to get for your bday/xmas. I am sure that will not be a problem....
Now i can maybe get Ryan to show me around some steelhead rivers. He said a guided trip for anyone who sent in a steelhead petition.
Here's the bucks bag. Mine is dark green and not as evolved as the new ones, it was a first year model but still goin' strong and a sweet rig for rivers up to class III. If you don't mind getting wet you could push that envelope but for the western WA rivers it's perfect.
Let's figure out shipping details! I wonder if Doublespey can help us out there??
Here are the specs:
*9 1/2' Boat
* PVC Sewn Seam Pontoons
* Foam Block Seat (optional air seat available)
* Two Splash Proof Pockets
* Stripping Apron
* Weighs 22 lbs
* Load Capacity 350 lbs.
* 3 Year Warranty
The reason i chose this was the foam cell blocks that make up the seat, backrest and removable floor. This makes the kayak in a way unsinkable cause even if the pontoons burst there is enough foam floatation to keep you going until help arrives. This is what i like about this kayak as opposed to the stearns.
If you had to get in the hole you can. There is a foam black piece the buckles in if you dont want the compartment open. However I usually leave if off cause you can stand up in it in shallow water and not have to worry abut the thing floating away cause your legs are in the way. here is what i mean:
The other good thing about these is they only cost 500 which I think is a steal. Also when carrting it you can put your arm through the bottom opening and sling it over your shoulder to carry it. It also only draws a couple inches of water so it can be dragged quite easily in shallow water.
I definitely would trade you and you could put it through its paces in the salt. I think with a kayak paddle this thing cold hold its own in the salt.
WOW! You know I've been thinking about inflatables for use in the salt, that thing looks great Sean! Would it be possible to get in from the hole in the front if you had to?
How much does it weigh / length / etc?
Why don't we trade - I've got the bucks bag bronco. We'll trade back when you get out here, if I like it I'll buy one when you move out.
paddle or oars (whatever you call em)
I have an inflatable kayak that comes with a oar system that does not work so well.
It is really nice for lakes. It has a removable floor for finning and can be put back in if you are just paddling. The picture shows it with the floor removed. On rivers it could really use a better rowing system.
So I am looking to get a kayak paddle for it and am looking for suggestions. Don't want to get too spendy as i am not sure how I will like it.
What do you guys suggest?

Where I stayed
Recommendation is certainly to go to both sides if you can. Yes, you can do both sides in one day and not be rushed ... In fact you can both sides and the power boat ride from the Argentina side in one day. We were in the Argentina side of the park just as it opened at 9am and after doing the circuit superior (middle one), took the tiny train up to see the Devil's Throat and then caught the 11 am train back. Some of our group did the 3 walks, then the boat trip and arrived back at the visitors' centre at 2 pm. While we walking the short way back, they were enjoying the thrills on the water, being totally soaked and were driven back to the visitors centre.
Stay at Sheraton Hotel in Argentina or where I am at in Brazil: Hotel de Cataratas? Brazil wins hands down. Why? The sheer feeling of a modern renovated hotel yet it's old style has been retained. While both hotels are within their respective National Park, Hotel de Cataratas is are right by the river and the walk to the end of the trail by road is only just over a kilometre. Not far. Plus you are in the park and the tourists aren't in before 9 am and have to leave at 6 pm so one does have to WHOLE park to oneself.
Which is the better boat ride? Found out today that the boat operating from the Brazil side is not allowed into the Argentina side of the river. I asked our guide Gerjio of 21 years doing this work and he said 50:50, the Argentina boat ride but the Brazil bush trip down to the river because of the views along the 2nd part. I will find out tomorrow as my boat trip that was to be on the first day, then told today will now be tomorrow at any time I choose. That's fine as otherwise the day was to be a rest day.
Today I saw lizards, scavenging raccoon like coatis, toucan, more colourful butterflies but trying to capture one through the lens was near impossible. Certainly not when they are darting around in the air.
Here are the photos and videos from Argentina side. Again I will let the many photos and videos do the talking. Do click onto some of the short videos near the end taken with my Olympus camera to better appreciate this natural wonder of the world.

CORINTH – The popular Corinth Grand Illumination, held the first weekend in November for the past five years, has become a side effect of sequestration, requiring the National Park Service to eliminate all funding for the project.
Supervising Park Ranger Ashley Berry, of the Corinth Civil War Interpretive Center, told the Corinth Area Convention and Visitors Board on Tuesday that the primary expense of the NPS in co-sponsoring the event with the CVB was staff overtime.
In deciding areas where the Shiloh/Corinth $118,000 in cuts would be made, Berry said the Grand Illumination had to yield to keeping the interpretive center open seven days a week, eliminating staff furloughs and maintaining services in the parks throughout the summer busy season.
Named in 2011 as a Top 20 event by the Southeast Tourism Society, the Grand Illumination is an event the community cherishes, members of the board said, and they hope a coalition of interested groups and supporters will emerge to assure the event goes forward for a sixth consecutive year.
Executive Director Christy Burns said the Friends of the Siege and Battle of Corinth group has offered help, and perhaps the Sons of Confederate Veterans, Main Street Corinth and/or others will be interested in taking the lead in planning and financing the event.
In addition to organizing assembly of 12,000 luminaries that represent soldiers killed, wounded or captured during the 1862 Battle of Corinth, the event will require recruiting and supervising the hundreds of volunteers who place and light the luminaries by 4:30 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 2, as well as assuring all the luminaries are extinguished at 8:30 p.m. and picked up the morning of Nov. 3, Berry said.
In addition to the expense of the luminaries, event sponsorship also has included the expense of a carriage ride provider in downtown Corinth, engaging Civil War musical entertainment at the interpretive center, and for the past three years bringing Douglas the camel to town for the living history event on the interpretive center grounds.
The executive director and board members will be discussing possibilities with community groups to try to salvage the event.
The board also approved several grant awards to the Alcorn County Fair, the Corinth Symphony Orchestra and the Crossroads Arena.
• The fair committee was awarded $7,500 to help publicize programs and a special event for the Sept. 17-21 fair.
• The symphony was awarded $2,000 to expand publicity for the annual patriotic concert, scheduled for June 29.
• The Crossroads Arena was awarded a combined $11,450 – $5,000 to upgrade the website and $6,450 to upgrade box office computers to improve ticketing efficiency.

Manuel Llinás (right) examines genetic information from Plasmodium, the single-celled parasite that causes malaria, with Sharon Weeks, a senior molecular biology major. Llinás, an assistant professor in the Department of Molecular Biology and the Lewis-Sigler Institute for Integrative Genomics, is leading Princeton's efforts to understand Plasmodium on the genetic level.
Studying Plasmodium requires Llinás and his team to grow the parasite in the laboratory. Here, infected red blood cells are mixed in a beaker containing a chemical medium that will keep the cells alive outside the body for more than 48 hours while the parasites grow to maturity.
At left: The Llinás research team has decorated its window in the Icahn Laboratory with illustrations representing the life cycle of Plasmodium, culminating in this image of the parasite emerging from a human red blood cell. After this step, the 24 newly created Plasmodia each invade another red blood cell, beginning malaria's infection cycle again.

Llinás brings new approach to age-old mystery of malaria
Posted October 8, 2007; 01:25 p.m.
From the Oct. 8, 2007, Princeton Weekly Bulletin
In what might be one of medicine's oldest puzzles, molecular biologist Manuel Llinás marvels at how little modern researchers know about how the pieces fit together.
"Malaria is one of the oldest diseases known to mankind, but even now, more than 2 million people die of it every year. No vaccine has ever been developed," said Llinás, an assistant professor in the Department of Molecular Biology and the Lewis-Sigler Institute for Integrative Genomics. "Compared to most other diseases with familiar names, malaria remains a mystery."
Llinás came to Princeton to change that. Since arriving in July 2005, he has spent his time exploring the genetic code of Plasmodium, the single-celled parasite that invades the bloodstream and causes the disease. He hopes his work will lead to a vaccine someday or at least a new way to approach the disease, which often proves fatal in young children, who usually cannot withstand its severe flu-like symptoms.
"Malaria is growing resistant to older drug treatments — the parasites are getting used to what we throw at them," Llinás said. "The most effective treatments we have are 50 years old. That's why in my research I'm trying to focus on what we don't know."
To scientists like Llinás, who specialize in reading a creature's genes, what we don't know is a lot. Although it has long been understood that mosquitoes carry the parasite to the human bloodstream, where the invader saps nutrients from red blood cells, the nitty-gritty details of this interaction with the host are lacking. Part of the trouble is that the genes that control parasite development in red blood cells are proving hard to decipher.
Alien inside
An animal's genome — its entire genetic code, spelled out in spiraling strands of DNA molecules — usually will have long stretches of DNA in common with most other animals. But while an eel's genome and an elephant's have a high degree of similarity, the Plasmodium genome seems alien in comparison. Almost half of its genome has no known counterpart in other creatures.
Strangest of all, scientists cannot identify what operates Plasmodium's genetic switchboard. In most living things, proteins called transcription factors push the buttons, but as yet, no one has isolated a single such protein in Plasmodium.
"It's unusual that transcription factors, one of the most important types of regulatory proteins in biology, have been vastly understudied in Plasmodium," Llinás said. "That's like saying the phone system works, but we have no idea how it routes our calls."
When a cell has a job to do — digesting nutrients, for example, or reproducing — its genes must be activated and deactivated in a particular order. Running the switchboard are the transcription factors, which flip each genetic switch when the time is right.
Given modern lab equipment and 48 hours, Llinás can watch every one of Plasmodium's 5,400 genes turn on and off as the parasite runs through its two-day cycle of infection. Something must be flipping those switches, he figures, and locating the right switchboard operator might allow science to disrupt the cycle, halting the disease in its tracks. Finding it is one of Llinás' goals, but first he has to discover why the transcription factors have eluded detection.
"Maybe Plasmodium has novel transcription factors," Llinás speculated. "But it doesn't mean they don't exist. And we're making progress toward finding them."
Seeking the Achilles' heel
In 2003, while Llinás was a postdoctoral fellow in Joseph DeRisi's lab at the University of California-San Francisco, DeRisi's team determined for the first time the order in which the switches flip in the 48-hour cycle. It netted them an influential paper in the premier journal Public Library of Science, which has led to more findings.
In particular, a group at the National Institutes of Health found two years ago that Plasmodium shares a family of genes with a plant called Arabidopsis. Though Plasmodium is in essence an animal, its ancestors once got together with algae, and their genomes merged.
"Plasmodium still has a few plantlike characteristics as a result of this ancient merger," Llinás said. "Arabidopsis is one of the most commonly studied plants, so we may have an inroad to understanding the parasite."
The link to plants is important for future drug development. A drug that targets an animal gene in Plasmodium might inadvertently flip a few other similar switches in the human genome, bringing a malaria patient unwanted side effects. Because this gene sequence comes from plants, whose genes have little in common with humans', medicine might target it with impunity.
What encourages Llinás is the fact that these gene sequences seem to be almost exactly the same in all strains of Plasmodium. A Plasmodium from central Africa has only a slightly different genetic makeup than one from India. Because this gene sequence varies so little regardless of its host's origin, Llinás suspects it is of vital importance to the parasite.
"When a genetic tool is always the same, it usually means that evolution simply can't find any other way to do that tool's job," he said. "A lot can mutate in a creature without affecting its ability to survive, but evolution has locked this sequence in. That usually means something critical is going on there."
If Llinás can figure out what this stretch of DNA does for the parasite and how to flip its switches, it may prove to be just the Achilles' heel that researchers desperately are seeking.
"We're just getting started, but we've already identified a specific interaction between the DNA and several intriguing proteins," he said. "It's an exciting first step."
Looking outward
In recognition of his approaches to understanding Plasmodium, Llinás earned a New Innovator Award from the National Institutes of Health this fall. His lab in the Lewis-Sigler Institute will receive $1.5 million over the next five years to explore the relationship between the parasite's metabolism and the human cells from which it draws nutrients.
Understanding this kind of fundamental relationship is sorely needed for the fight against malaria, Llinás said. Part of what attracted him to Princeton is the presence of researchers who can collaborate with him, such as chemist Josh Rabinowitz, also an assistant professor in the Lewis-Sigler Institute.
"We'd like to know more about how Plasmodium interacts with the cells it invades," Llinás said. "To explore that issue, I need the help of a metabolism expert like Josh. His state-of-the-art methods are the reason these studies are currently possible. Fortuitously, our labs are right next to each other and this has developed into a fantastic collaboration combining our respective specialties. I wouldn't even be studying Plasmodium metabolites without knowing him."
Llinás also works with 10 postdoctoral fellows, graduate students and undergraduates in his Icahn Laboratory setting. In addition, he shares his skills with students through teaching the junior year project lab in the Integrated Science Curriculum.
This year, Llinás will teach units on malaria for two new courses on global infection and diseases offered by the Woodrow Wilson School with school faculty member Burton Singer, Thomas Shenk of the Department of Molecular Biology and Adel Mahmoud, who has a joint appointment in the school and the department.
"The advantage of having Manuel here at Princeton is that we can combine different approaches to the disease," said Mahmoud, the former president of Merck Vaccines. "We can reach out to our colleagues in the world and offer a comprehensive approach to malaria. Manuel brings us to the next level with his knowledge of Plasmodium's molecular structure."

500px is a photographic community that lets users share artistic and inspiring pictures. It has been available in the App Store since October 2011 with no complaints, but when 500px wanted to release an updated version of the app for iOS, Apple put a quick stop to it and removed the app from its store for iOS.
"The app was removed from the App Store for featuring pornographic images and material, a clear violation of our guidelines," said Apple in a statement. "We also received customer complaints about possible child pornography. We've asked the developer to put safeguards in place to prevent pornographic images and material in their app."
500px disagrees with Apple's complaints. According to the Toronto-based startup, nude photos are not easy to find on its app at all. A user cannot simply launch the app and find nude photos. The app is defaulted to a safe search mode, where any nude photos are automatically hidden, and in order to turn the safe search off, users must go to their desktop to personally request the change.
Also, 500px noted that the nude photos on its app are not pornographic. They are artistic nudes that are similar to those one might find in a museum or art gallery. It is against 500px's rules to upload pornographic images, and if someone in the community breaks these rules, the image is flagged and removed.
However, 500px said it had been working on new safeguards for preventing pornographic images. It works kind of like facial recognition technology, where pornographic images are taken out of search results right away. In fact, 500px said the technology is just about done and ready to be submitted.
But Apple couldn't wait any longer, and decided to single 500px out among the other photo-sharing apps (Tumblr, Instagram). Both the 500px and ISO500 apps (both made by 500px) have been removed from the App Store. 500px is hoping they'll return now that the new technology for detecting nudes is nearly finished.

Rome today is one of the most important tourist destinations of the world, due to the incalculable immensity of its archaeological and artistic treasures, as well as for the charm of its unique traditions, the beauty of its panoramic views, and the majesty of its magnificent "villas" (parks). Among the most significant resources are the many museums – (Musei Capitolini, the Vatican Museums, Galleria Borghese, including those dedicated to modern and contemporary art and great many others) – aqueducts, fountains, churches, palaces, historical buildings, the monuments and ruins of the Roman Forum, and the Catacombs. Rome is the 3rd most visited city in the EU, after London and Paris, and receives an average of 7–10 million tourists a year, which sometimes doubles on holy years. The Colosseum (4 million tourists) and the Vatican Museums (4.2 million tourists) are the 39th and 37th (respectively) most visited places in the world, according to a recent study.
Rome is a major archaeological hub, and one of the world's main centres of archaeological research. There are numerous cultural and research institutes located in the city, such as the American Academy in Rome, and The Swedish Institute at Rome, to name a few. Rome contains numerous ancient sites, including the Forum Romanum, Trajan's Market, Trajan's Forum the Colosseum, and the Pantheon, to name but a few. The Colosseum, arguably one of Rome's most iconic archaeological sites, is regarded as a wonder of the world.

The appartement was very nice: bright, clean, quiet & confortable. It is just 2 minutes walking to the metro station and also close to the railway station (to get to the airport).
Almost perfect location, near metro, railway station and supermarket - for 2 persons a spacious apartment on the 4th floor, with elevator - good and easy communication with Sandro
Good, spacious appartement in Rome. Metro station close by as well as supermarket. Keydelivery was accurate.
Sandro is an excellent host. During our stay he ensured that everything was confortoble to us and that we had everytinhg we needed. The flat is nice, fully furnished and really close to a metro station and a railway station.
Excellent choice if you're visiting Roma for some days!
We stayed for 2 nights here. Very nice place. Centrally located , convenient to metro , easy check in and check out . Everything was perfect and Mr.Sandro was helpful in every aspect to make our trip happier. We would sure recommend to anyone.
We had a wonderful time in Rome, and the apartment was big and nice for our toddler to run around in. We took the metro, which was very close, to the center for sightseeing. There was a very nice restaurant on Via Galazia, closer to Redi Roma metro station (the stop befor Ponte Lungo were the apartment was). And the supermarket and trainstation (train to the airport) was also very close. The only downside to the apartment was that it was really noisy with a lot of traffic outside the bedroom window, and due to warm weather we had to have the window open. So bring earplugs :) Other than that, super!
Very nice and clean Flat in Roma. The Apatment ist realy colse to the Metro and the Centrum is reached in 10 min.
Good value. Close to supermarket and bus/metro stn. Neighbourhood looks a little scary with all the graffiti, but turned out to be a quiet, safe area to stay.

By PATSY R. BRUMFIELD/Daily Journal
OXFORD – A dead Chicago policeman and Iraq war veteran's parents and sister have sued a north Mississippi pawn shop, its owner and others for what they say was a scheme to sell the firearm that killed him through a straw buyer.
Carolyn Wortham, husband Thomas Wortham II and their daughter, Sandra Wortham of Chicago, Ill., filed a 33-page lawsuit recently in the U.S. District Court in Oxford seeking $3 million in damages from Ed's Pawn Shop & Salvage Yard, also known as BEA Pawn Shop, at 3165 Highway 309, Byhalia, its owner Bruce Edward Archer of Byhalia, the alleged straw buyer Michael Elliott, federal inmate Quawi Gates and up to 10 "John Doe" gun sellers.
They demand a jury trial.
The defendants have not yet responded.
The Worthams are represented by The Barrett Law Group of Oxford and Lexington, as well as the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence Legal Action Project.
In their lawsuit, the Worthams state that a handgun purchased at Ed's Pawn Shop on May 25, 2007, was used to kill Thomas Wortham IV when Gangster Disciples members attempted to rob him of his motorcycle in 2010.
The Smith & Wesson .45-caliber handgun, they say, was purchased by Elliott and transferred to Gates for "the criminal market" in Chicago, "where it found its way into the hands of four gang members."
They say the lawsuit is about the criminal use of guns and that Archer's shop "negligently, illegally, and knowingly" caused their criminal use in direct violation of federal and state law.
After Officer Wortham's death, police traced the weapon to the Byhalia store.
The family claims that if the store personnel had followed federal recommendations to determine that Elliott was not the gun's actual purchaser, they would have determined that Elliott was a straw buyer and declined to sell him any weapons.
The Worthams also want punitive damages to be decided by the jury.

* Bamboo Block with one extra slot"Perfectly balanced" are the best words to describe the forged kitchen knife range from Victorinox, the knife manufacturer from the Swiss Knife Valley.
With ergonomic handles and excellent steel, these knives are beautiful to look at and elegantly shaped. They are forged in Solingen, Germany, according to the specifications of the Victorinox designers. Not only are these knives attractive in appearance, they are also perfectly suited to every kitchen application.
The renowned Victorinox sharpness is guaranteed with all these knives, as the blades are sharpened twice and the blade edges laser tested.
Because a single knife cannot do every job, Victorinox supplies a range of tools to perfectly meet every requirement. For preparing and cutting small vegetables, a short, rigid blade is required. For cutting bread and tomatoes or carving a roast, a serrated knife is the recommended tool. For effortless slicing, kitchen professionals need a knife with a smooth blade, and a large kitchen knife is a useful tool not just for cutting, but also for finely chopping herbs and onions. Kitchen knives and Santoku knives are truly multi-functional tools and invaluable kitchen helpers. See Victorinox kitchen cutlery here.
It is of course possible to clean the knives in a dishwasher -- However, there are disadvantages to this method of cleaning.
In the dishwasher, knives and cutlery are placed in a basket. There is a risk that the knives may knock against each other during the cleaning cycle and become blunt. This can also happen if sharp knifes cut into the plastic coating of the dishwasher.
If you want to give your knives the best care and attention, it is best to clean them immediately after use with warm water, a damp cloth and a little washing-up liquid.
A nylon polymer that is lightweight and extremely durable, Zytel can be shaped and textured to provide excellent grip.

No diary for a while - just too busy. Now rethinking the graphics architecture for gzz one more time, the reason being that the move to OpenGL (in addition to java graphics) is going to be quite interesting. Flobs should be visible, as well as depth but how to wrap all this into a coherent whole is a really interesting problem. I've started a living article to discuss this design as it evolves.
Solja can now crawl forwards!

Another Winless Roadie for The Clippers
Posted on 11 Nov 2010 by Donovan Williams.
Look on the bright side, they live in LA and there are zero expectations for this team. So what's to worry? Confession: I did not get a chance to watch this game but watched the highlights. You see when it comes to prioritizing my time for this evening my 3 year old and my 6 month old, my wife, my mother in-law's birthday dinner, buying new stuff for a bathroom renovation and picking up dog poo...

Lysterfield triptych

National Gallery of Australia, Canberra Purchased 1970

Among Williams's major achievements of the late 1960s was Lysterfield triptych. Larger than any of his previous works on this subject, the horizontal triptych format accentuates the scale and spaciousness of the landscape. The small notations across the surface, including vibrant touches of blue, complement the tawny ground. In the lower part of each panel are very fine lines suggesting the straw-coloured grasses at Lysterfield.
Williams felt he had achieved something with this painting. In 1978 he said in an interview: 'Works like this were the hardest pictures I have ever had to paint, although on face value they looked to be the easiest.' This painting is a fine example of the way in which his minimalist approach corresponded with the implied vastness of the Australian continent.

Early Ashkelon was located on the Via Maris, the road linking Egypt with Assyria. It grew in the Roman period, and later, during the Byzantine Christian era it thrived as a commercial center for agricultural produce. In fact, the word scallion comes from the special onion first grown and exported from this region! Ashkelon National Park contains the oldest arch in the world, dating from around 1850 BCE, the remains of a shrine to the Canaanite calf-deity Ba'al, Roman colonnades and statues, Crusader walls, and a fine beach and picnic area.

Any photos to share of your dogs? Sounds like you have 2 very good ones!
Julie R., Hope Springs Farm
Chesapeake Bay Retrievers since 1981
I'll let your post; and my posting history versus yours & some other POTUS regulars treatment and respect of Menmon on this forum speak for itself.
If someones conscience is bothering them, that
I merely wanted to congratulate Mike on his success & his pinnacle achievement for retriever enthusiasts. I named no names other than Mike's and his dogs
Good Luck with your new pup
Sorry for the POTUS BS Mike and once again Congratulations to You, Jim & Sally, Bill, Bobby, and everyone involved in this wonderful achievement. Its too bad your schedule wouldn't allow you to make the trip to the trial, as you know Bob & Barb Hayden once again laid out the red carpet like no one else, making the KCRC Trial a truly can't miss event
I love you all!
That KC trial is always a good one. Hadens grounds are as good as any in the country and they will eventually host a National Open there. And the Saturday night party is too good for a bunch of field trialers. Open bar and catered gourmet food is a real treat after a hard day.
Mitch Patterson in my opinion is one of the best judges out there....hard and fair! Test that make the creme rise and not test that reward the lucky dogs! Based on the text I was getting about the test, this trial was not short on hard either! Wayne Stupta is a good dog man too that knows dogs natural tendencies and I know he contributed largly to the quality of the test, too!
Guys this thread has been good to show us all that we can stay friends and talk politics! I don't agree with most of you, but we all have reasons for thinking the way we do!
Thanks again!

Assault lands prolific criminal behind bars
SPOKANE VALLEY, Wash. - A prolific criminal involved in an assault with another individual was arrested by sheriff's deputies in Spokane Valley Tuesday after he pulled a gun on a man who punched him in the face.
Kevin Chastain, 34, was spotted near the intersection of Sprague and Pines shortly after authorities got the report of the fight call around 1 p.m. Tuesday near 4th and Pines. Deputies, since Chastain was reportedly armed, ordered him to get on the ground, to which Chastain responded by running across Sprague Avenue, dropping a backpack he was carrying.
Chastain then ran behind a truck, throwing a handgun to the ground and continued running, throwing away a plastic baggie a few moments later.
The deputy chasing him caught up to Chastain, deployed his taser and took him into custody.
Deputies retrieved the handgun Chastain had thrown away and detectives determined it had been stolen. A test done on the white powder found inside the baggie confirmed it was methamphetamine. Chastain said he had a drug problem and it was meth in the baggie.
Chastain, who has nine prior felony convictions, was arrested in February after Spokane police raided a home at 27 S. Haven on a firearms search warrant. During the raid on that home police recovered several firearms, counterfeit cash, drug paraphernalia and methamphetamine from the home.
After his arrest Wednesday he was booked into the Spokane County Jail for Possession of a Stolen Firearm, Unlawful Possession of Firearm, Possession of a Controlled Substance, Obstructing and Possessing Burglary Tools.
His bond was set at $80,000.
- Woman arrested for South Hill hit and run
- Give 4 Kids raises over $58k for Children's Miracle Network
- Man who lost leg in motorcycle crash reunites with dentist who saved him

This article originally appeared in the November 7, 1978 issue of the Boston Phoenix
The Wiz, Sidney Lumet's movie adaptation of the Broadway musical, is a real stinker. Although it's hard to imagine a new version of L. Frank Baum's fantasy that measures up to the enchanting 1939 Wizard of Oz (with Judy Garland, Bert Lahr, Ray Bolger, et al.), the notion of an all-black, soul-music remake isn't intrinsically silly. But let's face it: The Wiz, 1975's biggest Broadway hit, was a bit of a crock to begin with. Shallow, coy and overlong, the stage show as no better written than your average sit-com; it succeeded mostly by dint of flashy costumes, swift choreography, deafening (but not particularly pleasant) songs, and the paucity of other musicals that year. From this mediocrity, Lumet and his crew have fashioned an out-and-out monstrosity. Costing over $30 million, The Wiz is the most expensive screen musical ever made. And all that cash was bound to weight a fairy tale down. Direc6ting this first musical, Sidney Lumet (Network, Dog Day Afternoon) has concocted a film that jerks along from one grandiose set-piece to another, skipping the intimate, in-between moments that might have lent it all some rhythm, unity or momentum. Villains appear, do their numbers and disappear without consequence, as if they were auditioning for some dark, gaudy revue; the sensation of menace that kids and grown-ups alike love so much in the Judy Garland movie is nowhere to be found. Stuffed with big, clumsily staged production numbers that seem to go on forever, The Wiz is at once chaotic and inert.
The movie has also sacrificed the stage show's hip jiving about black life, replacing it with a preachy condescending Sunday-school tone that most adults will find about as compelling as Captain Kangaroo. Indeed, the new Wiz is a black musical in casting only – and with good reason. If it doesn't attract an enormous white audience, it will be a financial disaster, regardless of the size of its black box office. Still, one wonders why the filmmakers have created such a moralizing atmosphere. Did they hope to con parents into dragging their kids to an educational, uplifting "experience"? Perhaps. But for my money, the film's message doesn't make a lick of sense. When we first meet Dorothy, we're surprised to find that she's not a child and she's not from Kansas. Played by 34-year-old Diana Ross (who lobbied extensively to get the part), she's been transformed into a timorous 24-year-old Harlem schoolteacher. At Aunt Em's, where the whole family is gathered for some sort of jolly shindig, Dorothy mopes around as if she were hiding a terrible secret. What with all the shots of couples necking and chubby little babies, I thought we were going to se a really hip Wiz, with Dorothy as an unwed mother. No such luck: this Dorothy's gloom is existential. As Sidney Lumet has said, The Wiz is "a story about a search for self-knowledge", and Dorothy is a modern, educated black woman who's so shy that she's never ventured beyond 125th Street. Sweet old Aunt Em has some suggestions. Dorothy should get out more. Find a man. Move into an apartment of her own. Stop teaching kindergarten and try high school (Huh? Who in her right mind would want her niece to teach high school in Harlem?) Outside, a blizzard rages, and suddenly Toto, Dorothy's beloved pooch, trots into the storm. When Dorothy gives chase, she and Toto are swept up by – I swear it – a white tornado, by all appearances the same one housewives are always discovering in cans of Ajax.

Knicks Notes (in 60) – Preseason Game #6 vs Nets
Posted on 20 Oct 2010 by Jordan Lauterbach.
Due to other commitments (ok, mainly my love of playoff baseball), I had to watch last nights preseason game "in 60." I have never ever done this before and hate the concept of it but my DVR was full and, as much as I love the NBA, I'm not missing a playoff baseball game for a game that doesn't count…. Here are a few observations from the night (in 60, of course) - ...

If Ryan Landry gets any more respectable, he'll be hosting Masterpiece Theatre. The recently anointed Huntington Theatre Company Playwriting Fellow and his fellow drag royalty, the Gold Dust Orphans, just headlined the Elliot Norton Awards ceremony, where Landry's Phantom of the Oprah was nominated for Outstanding Musical. Still, don't go looking for the raucous troupe to snag an award from the Audubon Society anytime soon. The Orphans' spirited riff on the 1963 Alfred Hitchcock classic The Birds has been removed from Northern California to Provincetown and renamed The Gulls (at Machine through May 30). But like its inspiration, it paints our feathered friends as something akin to flying pit bulls. Some of its birds, singly and in groups, are on sticks. Some are on strings. Some are on shelves. Some inhabit what looks like a giant slot machine. Some are fresh out of taxidermy, some are fresh off trailer-park lawns, and a few have just retired from careers as duck decoys. Many are lustily wielded by the very humans they're out to attack. But all are on a mission, and that's not good for humankind, gay or straight, at the tip of an increasingly commercialized Cape.
First produced in Provincetown in 2003, The Gulls represents the Orphans at their ingenious low-tech best, with elaborate two-dimensional settings (which include a couple of moving vehicles) and lavishly detailed if ridiculous costumes (these include several pluckable ones for hulking actors), in addition to the hilariously terrifying, strobe-lit "birdraku" special effects. Of course, the Orphans' sensibility being what it is, the aura is closer to What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? grotesquerie than to the elegant menace and repressed sexuality of Hitchcock. Take the gaggle of schoolchildren singing "Risseldy, Rosseldy" as a hostile bunch of crows start to blanket the playground. Led by P.J. McWhiskers's lesbian linebacker of a Kathy, 11-year-old sister of the character played by Rod Taylor in the film, they're the homeliest and most maniacal crew ever to inhabit beanie and pinafore. All that's needed is Steve Urkel as Miss Jean Brodie.
Despite detours into hysteria and lust (and one instance of geriatric pole dancing), The Gulls hews pretty close to the plot of The Birds, even re-creating a few of the more memorable avian attacks with uncanny if slightly unhinged faithfulness. In truth, this show is as much homage as it is parody, right down to Penny Champayne's lacquered blond twist and mint-green suit. Champayne, though more expressive than Tippi Hedren (most actors are), plays wealthy newspaper magnate's gorgeous spawn Melanie Daniels, who meets handsome mama's boy Mitch (Chris Loftus) in a Boston bird store and follows him to his P-town home bearing a pair of "domesticated gulls" as an ostensible birthday gift for his here-anything-but-little sister (McWhiskers).
There the suspicious town folk include a homophobic sheriff, a callous female realtor named Coldwell Banker, a near-naked guy in a leather cap, a deranged seaman straight off the Gorton's box, a hysterical diner denizen lifted straight from the movie, Liza Minnelli working as a waitress, and lonely-hearted schoolmarm Annie Heywood (a hangdog Landry channeling Suzanne Pleshette), who carries a torch for ex-lover Mitch. More to the point are the ridiculously possessive mom (Olive Another, mixing Phyllis Diller and Margaret Hamilton as she handles the plates that float across her cartoon dishwater like boats in sea foam) and the squawking, massing army of birds — both of whom want to pluck Melanie's eyes out.

It looks like this is about as far as a see-thru moment we're gonna get from former The Hills star Lauren Conrad. The surprisingly less fame-hungry reality star is looking forward to life after Hills, first by writing a fictional book that she insists is not about the reality show she was in. So where's the fun in that? Critics have maligned the book as pure fluff, but LC has a series in mind for her characters a-la Gossip Girl, and even plans to develop it a s a TV series, a-la Gossip Girl. If it would push through, it would be a first for network TV – a fictional series based on a reality series. But then again, who believes that The Hills was ever "reality"?

- In the late 1800s—shortly after Thomas Edison invented the light bulb and electricity was first becoming popular—most circuits in the U.S. carried direct current (DC). A European immigrant to the U.S., named Nikola Tesla, worked for Edison and helped to improve Edison's DC generator.
- Tesla also invented an AC generator and tried to convince Edison to adopt it. However, Edison refused and went on to try to discredit the invention. Tesla found support for his invention from George Westinghouse, a Pennsylvania businessman who was entering the electricity business.
- Soon, Edison and Westinghouse were engaged in a "war" over which of the two types of current should supply the U.S. with electric power. Despite what many considered to be Edison's "dirty tricks," Westinghouse and AC won out.

- http://physicsbuzz.physicscentral.com/2011/01/topsy-and-war-of-currents.html
- What is the basic difference between direct and alternating currents?
- Why was Edison so resistant to the idea of AC over DC power generation?
- What "dirty tricks" did Edison use to try to convince people to adopt DC over AC?
- Why was AC adopted throughout the U.S. in the early 1900s?
- The invention and increasing popularity of electronic devices has led some people to question our continued reliance on AC power. Why?
- Today, people are looking for ways to add electricity from alternative sources, such as solar panels or wind turbines, to the electrical grid. Why does AC make this difficult to do? Why would DC make this option more efficient?
- What do you think? Will our electrical grid ever change from AC to DC? Why or why not? Reflect on what happened during the war of the currents before writing your answer.

Dear designers at Hasbro.
I would really like to see some figures come to life in my collection.
As far a start, I would like to see more Imperial generals/captains/Admirals,also I would want Crix Madine and Jan Dodonna. And I also beg you to make figures from the species of Bothans & Gotals.
