Discussion in 'Football, Baseball, and Hockey' started by mikhail1973, Apr 5, 2008.
Yes I am.
It was a good third period. Wings do hold on to go up 3-0. They have to wrap this up quickly as Dallas is up 3-0 as well.
funniest thing was Holmström's interview after Zetterberg goal: he was asked that was a pass what went to Zetterberg by Datsjuk actually sent to him. And Holmström answered no, when those 2 guys decide to create something then he(Holmström) tries to mind his own business
He's doing quite a bit on his own, so it's a good idea to let 2 best players on the team just "do their thing".
Sharks win one. No one knows what's wrong with them. Dallas finally figured themselves out.
I live in Colorado and needless to say, I'm REALLY enjoying this series. ...Av's fans are the absolute lowest life form on the planet.
Have you seen Raiders fans?
I think this series has been too close even though Dallas has that lead. Sharks were a couple of bounces away from being up 3-1. Two of the games went to overtime.
Raiders fans know their sport at least. Avalanche fans have NO IDEA what's going on out there on the ice. They think Icing is something that you put on top of a cinnamon roll! I went to a Rockies/Tigers game at Coors Field a couple of years back and they got a "Red Wings Suck" cheer going. This has also happened when I've gone to Pistons/Nuggets games at the Pepsi Center.
- They love to hate us. They can be violent too. You should hear some of the stories of what they did to Wing fan. If we sweep them - watch out - ! Or maybe they'll just commit mass suicide.
I can't believe Milwaukee/ Green Bay doesn't have an NHL team. Doesn't it seem like those fan would be all over that? Maybe I should set up an exploratory committee to conduct a viability analysis.
I think the cheese-heads would totally embrace hockey. Let's start a franchise up there Tay!
I'd probably put the arena in Green Bay and make it outdoors with a retractable roof (to close when the weather is nice). Also, there would be a feature indoors to make artificial wind. The team would be called the Green Bay Cheeze.
Green Bay "Fighting Cheese" might strike more fear in their opponents.
Is the wind machine to help move cut cheese?
Where in the world did this Franzen guy come from? I don't think I even heard of him until about a year ago when I distinctly remember Bill Laimbeer telling us how much he liked this guy named Franzen who was his favorite player...
The Wings are in a nail-biter tonight!

DiGeorge syndrome, also called 22q11.2 deletion syndrome, is a disorder caused by a defect in chromosome 22. It results in the poor development of several body systems.
Medical problems commonly associated with DiGeorge syndrome include heart defects, poor immune system function, a cleft palate, complications related to low levels of calcium in the blood, and delayed development with behavioral and emotional problems.
The number and severity of symptoms associated with DiGeorge syndrome vary greatly. However, almost everyone with DiGeorge syndrome needs treatment from specialists in a variety of fields.
Before the discovery of the chromosome 22 defect, the disorder was known by several names — DiGeorge syndrome, velocardiofacial syndrome, Shprintzen syndrome, CATCH22 and others. Although the term "22q11.2 deletion syndrome" is frequently used today — and is generally a more accurate description — previous names for the disorder are still used.
Signs and symptoms of DiGeorge syndrome can vary significantly in type and severity, depending on what body systems are affected and how severe the defects are. Some signs and symptoms may be apparent at birth, but others may not appear until later in infancy or early childhood.
Signs and symptoms may include some combination of the following:
Other conditions may cause the signs and symptoms of DiGeorge syndrome. So it's important to get an accurate and prompt diagnosis if your child shows any signs or symptoms of the disorder.
If your child has any of the signs and symptoms above, seek immediate medical care.
DiGeorge syndrome is caused by the deletion of a portion of chromosome 22. Each person has two copies of chromosome 22, one inherited from each parent.
If a person has DiGeorge syndrome, one copy of chromosome 22 is missing a segment that includes an estimated 30 to 40 genes. Many of these genes haven't been clearly identified and aren't well-understood. The region of chromosome 22 that's deleted in DiGeorge syndrome is known as 22q11.2.
The deletion of genes from chromosome 22 usually occurs as a random event in the father's sperm or in the mother's egg, or it may occur early during fetal development. Rarely, the deletion is an inherited condition passed to a child from a parent who also has deletions in chromosome 22 but may or may not have symptoms.
The portions of chromosome 22 deleted in DiGeorge syndrome play a role in the development of a number of body systems. As a result, the disorder can cause several errors during fetal development. Common problems that occur with DiGeorge syndrome include:
DiGeorge syndrome may be suspected:
It's important to take your child to all regularly scheduled well-baby visits and annual appointments. These visits can help identify early signs of developmental delays and give you the opportunity to discuss any concerns with your doctor.
Be prepared to answer questions that your child's doctor may ask, such as:
If your family doctor or pediatrician believes that your child shows signs or symptoms of DiGeorge syndrome and suggests diagnostic tests, you may want to discuss these questions:
A diagnosis of DiGeorge syndrome is based primarily on a lab test that can detect the deletion in chromosome 22. Your doctor will likely order such a test if your child has:
In some cases, a child may have a combination of conditions that suggest DiGeorge syndrome, but the lab test doesn't indicate a deletion in chromosome 22. Although these cases present a diagnostic challenge, the coordination of care to address all of the medical, developmental or behavioral problems will likely be similar.
Because DiGeorge syndrome can result in so many problems, a number of specialists will likely be involved in diagnosing specific conditions, recommending treatments and providing care. This team will evolve as your child's needs change. Specialists in your care team may include these professionals, as needed:
Although there is no cure for DiGeorge syndrome, treatments can usually correct critical problems, such as a heart defect or low calcium levels. Other health issues and developmental, mental health or behavioral problems can be addressed or monitored as needed.
Treatments and therapy for DiGeorge syndrome may include interventions for:
Having a child with DiGeorge syndrome is challenging. You must deal with numerous treatment issues, manage your own expectations and meet the needs of your child. Organizations such as the Velo-Cardio-Facial Syndrome Educational Foundation provide educational materials, support groups and other resources for parents of children with DiGeorge syndrome.
In some cases, DiGeorge syndrome may be passed from an affected parent to a child. If you're concerned about a family history of DiGeorge syndrome, or if you already have a child with DiGeorge syndrome, you may want to consult a doctor who specializes in genetic disorders (geneticist) or a genetic counselor for help in planning future pregnancies.

I found him very helpful with good ideas on what we needed done for the project. We liked his crew and found them courteous and respectful. He gave us an excellent bid and was able to complete the project on time and at the quoted price. The one problem he has is remaining calm with the client if there is an unforeseen problem. We would suggest some help with his people skills. Hopefully this does not negate the overall experience.

Joan bid to paint our house was in the middle of the bids and I was more than pleased with the work that was done. His crew Allen and Jose were true gentlemen and very easy to work with. Any request that I presented to them was instantly agreed to and accomplished. At the end of the day the yard was completely cleaned up as if they had not been there. On completion, the house was inspected by Joan, and even though I thought the job was great Joan had his men come to improve spots that he was not satisfied with. We were so pleased with their work that we signed up for 2 more projects to be done. Unlike other contractors Joan didn't ask for any money up front for any of the scheduled work or painting. What a treat it is for a contractor to indicate "My work will speak for itself". If I need any kind of work done in the future "1 Stop Painting and Restoration" is the only contractor I will use.

Our experience with 1 Stop Painting and Restoration (Joan Espinosa) was a delight from beginning to job completion. Ours was a relatively small job: painting our kitchen, dining area, entryway and one living room wall. Joan came to our home on the first day of contact, offered an oral estimate that was well below what I expected, and gave us what we needed to choose colors. Scheduling was easy, at our convenience. Joan had hoped that this would be a one day job, but it turned into a two day job, at no extra cost to us. Most importantly, the painting came out beautiful and we are thrilled to have what feels like a brand new living space. Highly recommend 1 Stop.

I had my home exterior painted on April 5th 2016. Joan Espinoza has a very hands on approach. I chose Joan over other contractors because he didn't give me quote and then pass the work off to a sub-contractor. He took the time to walk around my home, point out problems and things that needed to be fixed and then offered me a fair price for all the work. His quote wasn't flashy filled with pictures and hype, just a very honest deal. His employees are professional and very hard working. All the work was completed as promised, on time, with a keen eye toward the smallest details. Joan as also very flexible and understanding when I encountered bank account problems the day of the project. I would recommend 1 Stop Painting & Restoration to everyone. Thanks.

1 Stop Painting recently painted the interior of our 1500 sf home. I reviewed several reviews on Yelp and reached out to them for a bid. I'm pretty picky when it comes to hiring contractors, and really any services. I got 4 quotes. 1 Stop Painting was by far, the most responsive and flexible to do an immediate site inspection in order to give the best quote. I received 4 quotes with 1 Stop being the least expensive. The highest bid was over double that amount. All bids quoted the same product and services. I am always a bit hesitant to go with the "lowest bid" but, I felt confident that Joan would deliver what he promised…and he did! I could not be happier! He covered everything I expected. He answered all of our questions and he was extremely knowledgable. His personality, demeanor, and professional was 100% on point. He is easy to work with and communicated 100% through out the whole process. His crew were punctual, neat, clean and VERY professional. I would highly recommend 1 Stop Painting.

I was very pleased with my experience with One Stop Painting and Restoration. I was having the exterior of a home I did not live in, and was vacant painted. I met with Joan, at the property, we spent about 10 minutes discussing the project and Joan gave me a verbal estimate which was exactly what I ended up paying. I chose One Stop because the price was right. I will choose them again because they do great work.

My only regret Is that I didn't meet Joan Espinoza prior to having the outside of my house painted. Not only would I have saved money but I would have received a much better job and not had to have gone through the trouble of trying to get the contractor to come back for touch up work. When I painted the interior of the house I looked else where. That is how I come to hire Joan. He and his crew were very professional and went the extra mile to see that the job was done to mine and my wife's satisfaction. I was completely comfortable the times I had to leave them alone in the house. Joan was very helpful and good in pointing out areas we could save money on our project. Upon completion of our painting project Joan walked the house and had his crew touch up the areas that found needed it. He than had my wife and I do a walk through and once again they took care of the things we found. I won't hesitate to hire him again for the projects we have coming up in the future. it was a pleasure working with him and his crew.

I can not say anything bad about Joan and his crew. The workmanship of the project was fantastic. He went out of his way to insure the job was progressing as scheduled and within budget; always keeping me informed. I originally had him do one thing and then because of the quality of work I hired him to do my kitchen counter tops and back splash. GREAT JOB 1 Stop Painting

Joanne Espinosa and his firm painted4 rooms in our home including our kitchen cabinets and an entertainment center. We are very pleased with their work and they were very careful to keep paint off of our furniture, flooring and rugs. Everything looks very nice and we would hire them again if needed. All the men were very polite and professional. They left our home clean and the quality of their work was a 10 out of 10! Jerry and Karen Zovne

If you are looking for the best, most reliable, honest and fair priced contractor, you don't need to look any further! 1 Stop Painting & Restoration is the company that does it all. They did work on our rental property in Arizona to get it ready for us to sell, oh and by the way we live in Ohio, so this was all done over the phone and e-mail with pictures. Work was completed on time and FLAWLESSLY!!!!! Complete inside house painting, complete carpeting, tile and wood flooring, plumbing, electrical, installation of appliances, air conditioning repair, restoration of garage flooring, new hardware and door knobs to name a few. Time was an issue for us to get all these repairs done quickly. 1 Stop's commitment and dedication was something you don't get now a days from many companies you come in contact with, not the case with 1 Stop!!! Their commitment and dedication to complete the work on time, flawlessly and very professional allowed us to be under contract to sell our home within 3 days of having it on the market. There were also 6 minor (and when I say minor I really mean minor) things that came out of the inspection and 1 Stop, being the dedicated and professional company they are, were there the next day and had the repairs completed within 2 days. Once again 1 Stop showing their reliability and commitment to customer service! If you don't choose 1 Stop for all your renovations, fixes, or whatever you might call what you need done to your home......YOU lose!

I already have the tracking number as they've been shipped as of today. By the time I get them, I will have two sets, the wrong set the arrived two and a half weeks ago, and the correct ones - so I hope. We'll see, this ain't over that's fo sure.
Thank you for the peace of mind Budaman.
Quote from: chalomalo on Nov 30, 2012, 11:17:17 PMThank you for the peace of mind Budaman.To save yourself some aggravation take off your old bars first and install your new one bolt them up before running wiring to make sure that they bolt up correctly. They have sent out sets to others that dont fit the Raider.
I feel very lucky that my second set did fit and I should get her back today. If I ever need new bars again I will be going to PCS to get them, they have the closest to what I currently have.

Ivo Karlović
Born in Zagreb, Croatia in 1979, Ivo Karlovic is known as the tallest player in men's professional tennis. At 6' 10" he has as a lofty view of the court, from which he unleashes powerful serves and winning 6 ATP titles. Ivo took up tennis at age six and hit the court at every opportunity. Practicing without the benefit of a coach, the strong-willed Ivo found himself drawn by the energy and precision the game demands. Watching match after match on television, he later found his greatest inspiration in Boris Becker and Goran Ivanašević, a fellow Croat who also has a strong serve. In 2006, life delivered a damaging serve when the quiet giant injured his left knee and found himself out of competition for several months. But, he recovered and has returned to a rigorous workout schedule in which he practices as much as six hours per day in order to broaden his skill base and build his overall strength.Read the full story

The importance of the right shoe: "Handball players never have to stop running. This is what we are good at, and I know it sounds obvious but it is the only way to score." "It is essential for a handball player that the shoe is the best possible. Our feet are under so much pressure from many different angles and if the shoe isn't right, your feet won't be right for long."Read more

Wildlife Violator Compact
The Interstate Wildlife Violator Compact establishes a process whereby wildlife law violations by a non-resident from a member state is handled as if the person were a resident, in that personal recognizance is permitted instead of arrest, booking, and bonding. This process is a convenience for hunters, fishermen, and trappers of member states, and also increases efficiency of Georgia Conservation Rangers by allowing more time for enforcement duties rather than violator processing procedures required for arrest, booking, and bonding of non-residents. The Wildlife Violator Compact also includes a reciprocal recognition of license privilege or right suspension by member states, thus any person whose license privileges or rights are suspended in a member state would also be suspended in Georgia. Wildlife law violators will be held more responsible due to the fact that their illegal activities in one state can affect their privileges or rights in all participating states. This cooperative interstate effort will enhance the Divisions ability to protect and manage our wildlife resources.
Member States
Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, New York, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin and Wyoming

It's Music Monday! And more importantly, it's the start of our "Dad Week" here on the blog. In honor of Father's Day, Scott'll be looking at some of the best dad songs of all time. Join him after the jump for five tracks, a link to our Spotify playlist, and lots of comments explaining what songs left out!
Okay, you're all thinking it, so why save it for last? Let's go ahead and watch Scott drop the biggest, baddest, most memorable father-bomb there is.
Harry Chapin - Cat's In The Cradle
If you're male, and you have a father, this song makes you hold back tears. Maybe you act tough in front of your guy friends but don't worry, we all know they're feeling the same way. This ode to misspent fatherdom is sappy, schmaltzy, goofy, and every guy on the planet can recognize it in about three notes. Ladies, you've got Titanic, and us men have "Cat's In The Cradle." Such is life.
And now, we can all move on. However, before we jump into the next four, remember our Spotify playlist will be featuring a great selection from last week's Music Monday comments. The theme of the mix this time is Good Intro Licks and we think you'll be singing along with the guitar. Just on't rock out just yet, because you've still got some dad songs coming…
The Beach Boys - Child Is Father Of The Man
What other band unites old Conservatives, young Hipsters, middle-aged Audiophiles and people who watched early 90s TV? Brian Wilson mastered studio work to the point of inspiring The Beatles, but he's usually remembered for singing about girls, cars and love. It's no wonder this song is simultaneously wholesome and bizarre… just like a Dad should be! They had a life before you were born, you know.
U2 - Daddy's Gonna Pay For Your Crashed Car
Bono and his devil horns are clearly using "Daddy" in a dark, sinister, ironic way, but this song has a great beat, and does cover the major role of a father: protecting their kids till it hurts. And let's face it, if one of Bono's kids crashed their car, he'd probably just buy them a dealership and be done with it.
Sinead O'Connor - Daddy I'm Fine NSFW lyrics
Sinead O'Connor has been known for controversy, but this song… well, you might find it lyrically daring, but listen to what it really says. "Daddy, I'm Fine" is a letter from a girl who wanted to be a rock star and went out and did it. Reverse the genders and it's pretty much a million other rock songs about wild boys making their fathers proud. So why can't a girl do the same thing? Maybe Dad doesn't care to hear all the intimate details, but to know his daughter found her own life where she can be happy and successful… well, isn't that a father's true goal?
Foreigner - Juke Box Hero
Call it vanity if you wanna, but this one goes out to my dad, who once told me how much he loved this classic rocker. It's fair, too, because every dad was once a young man, and what young man hasn't felt the siren song of the electric guitar? This one's for you, Mike Lydon. Sincerely, your loving and grateful son.
Remember, Father's Day is this coming Sunday, so wrap those knives, beer and steak early! Also maybe take a moment or two and throw YOUR favorite daddy-type song in the comments below. Plus everybody's welcome to join us in our Turntable.fm room room for our weekly Music Monday mix. And finally, be aware that some images come from their corresponding Wikipedia page and are here under fair use.
Mike and the Mechanics The Living Years always reminds me of my Dad. I know he really liked the song because it reminded him of his own father who was a hard man to talk to. Hearing it again now makes me a bit teary eyed for the opposite reason. It makes me wonder if my Dad really knows what a wonderful parent he was, and still is.
How about:
Father and Child - Cat Stevens on Tea for the Tillerman
My Father's Eyes - Eric Clapton on "Pilgrim"
or if you're feeling morose:
Sam Stone - John Prine on "Haystack"
Terribly poignant is Queen's Father to Son from Queen II. Also, Queen! I mean come on...
"Watching Scotty Grow" by Bobby Goldsboro is a sappy favorite (Father to Son):
"The Best of Times" by Dream Theater is a great Son to Father song:
My little brother is a musician and has "Leader of the Band" by Dan Fogelberg as his personal touchstone for our father.
Inarguably, my favorite Dad song is "A Boy Named Sue", although not directly applicable to my own forebear.
Black Stone Cherry-Things my Father Said..brings a tear to my eye everytime. Things my father said
Daddy's Hands by Holly Dunn. An older (and prolly hokey)country song that Daddy and I danced to at my wedding. Tearing up a little just thinking about it!
Dad I'm in Jail by Was (not Was).
"Winter" by Tori Amos is a good daddy song:
My Old Man - Steve Goodman
Father and Daughter - Paul Simon
Leader of the Band - Dan Fogelberg
Memo to My Son - Randy Newman
When He Cries - John Gorka
I was looking for the song Call Daddy From The Mines - Johnny Cash. I couldn't find that one but it did remind me of a better song he sang once.
Here's the Original
This is a great tune called:
"My Daddy's Not My Daddy Anymore."
Hearing it always brings a tear to my eye. This video also includes the lyrics so you can sing-along.
"Daddy Don't You Walk So Fast" most famously done by Wayne Newton. I believe Charlie Rich and Duane Eddy also covered it. Schmaltzy, but also poignant for a child of divorce.
The entire album "The Wall" is about a guy who can't get over having no father.
Having never knew my father (think bruce the shark from finding nemo) i can only guess what it feels like growing up and discovering that your father is a real person... that being said i grew up and learned that my mother is a real person.. and probably why i had no father.. so all that angst and feelings i probably talk about when im drinking is summed up in my fathers day song. Home by Sevendust.
This was my mother's favorite daddy song. She gave me the 45 of it when I was about six. I still love it.
Mike Douglas - The Men in My Little Girls Life
From my generation, I have always loved The Things We've Handed Down by Marc Cohn
"Oh, Daddy" by Adrian Belew is a lot more lighthearted that most of these.
I saw him perform a solo acoustic show at Shank Hall in Milwaukee (the name of which comes from a movie) in the early '90s, and I'm pretty sure this daughter, then a young teen, was working the merch table.
And there's this amazing sequence from the wonderfully weird Monkee's movie Head:
That's Toni Basil with Davy. I believe she choreographed this, since that's what she does.
There's a cameo at the end that will be a surprise if you haven't seen the movie. Or this clip. Or read about it somewhere.
A Daddy Song for a different holiday.
"Butterfly Kisses" by Bob Carlisle.
on a lighter note, the song Discipline Daddy was one of my faves from Arrested Development
JOHNNY RIVERS- " MEMPHIS " - YouTube What? I'm a total sucker for this one.
Don't Look Down - The Sugarplastic - YouTube Fantasy fiction, but very factual in sentiment.
Jux County live at the Ogden Theater in 1995 performing Simon's Eyes - YouTube Totally rad band. Can't really understand much lyrics in this recording, but the singer / guitarist was inspired by the birth of his first child.
Then of course there is Dad [NSFW] and This Wound Will Never Heal from NoMeansNo, and Lisa's Father [NSFW] from Alice Donut that probably shouldn't make it on any Father's Day list, but are great reminders that being a good dad is very, very important.
Be careful with those last ones. *NOT* for the faint of heart.
Having been a wedding DJ for many years...don't forget the daughters:
Al Martino - Daddy little girl
or Sunrise Sunset
or "If tomorrow never comes" by Garth. Picture the soldier leaving his young child and heading into battle, or the fire fighter or police officer who tucks their child in before going on duty.

For one of the worst fathers ever.....the song requested by the an angry daughter/bride who was told that she had to dance with her natural father at her wedding. Her natural father was in prison for most of her life...and she quite appropriately picked...unforgettable :-)
And for the best Father to us all we must never forget:

OmyG, Harry Chapin was only 38 when he died?
We saw him live so many times.
I swear, Cat's Cradle ruined my kids! My husband took to the heart and spent every moment he could with them. Doesn't know when to stop. They are adults now and he is still doing it.
I know it was Cat's in the Cradle that did it!
Scott, you are soooo right about "Cat's In The Cradle" making us misty-eyed. Since there are a lot of awesome songs listed above, I will give one not yet listed:
"Ships" by Barry Manilow (this song was written and composed by Ian Hunter, former lead singer of Mott the Hoople).
Posting a song for your dad was touching.
Daddy Don't Live in That New York City No More by Steely Dan!
Still loving that Monkees bit.

I only saw him once, but I'm glad that I did. I was an (unpaid) usher at the Fox in Atlanta, and usually, after we got our assignments, we'd go sit down front and watch the end of the sound check. Most performers ignored us. One (Cheap Trick) made us leave. Harry Chapin came down off the stage and thanked us for helping with the show. Then he shook hands with all the guys and kissed all the girls.
I've rarely seen someone interact as well with any audience, too.
"Harry, it sucks!"

Never saw that Monkees clip before, trippy!
tedzilla99 wrote:Never saw that Monkees clip before, trippy!
You should watch the whole movie. This is one of the less trippy scenes.
Head was written by Bob Rafelson and Jack Nicholson. Dennis Hopper makes a brief appearance in the film and was probably hanging out the whole time. Refelson, Nicholson, and Hopper made Easy Rider the next year.
Head is a weird movie. Really weird.

From an article on Ten Ton Hammer - http://www.************.com/teso/new...tal-pre-orders
Yesterday Zenimax Online Studios revealed pre-order details and an Imperial Edition for The Elder Scrolls Online (TESO). Since that time digital retailers opened pre-orders for Standard and Imperial Edition digital versions of TESO, but Ubisoft is going that extra mile to try and convince you to purchase through its Uplay service. So if you plan to pre-order digital only, keep on reading for some juicy deals.
If you pre-order the Standard Edition ($59.99) of TESO from Uplay, youll not only get the 3-day headstart and pre-order items for the MMORPG, but also a copy of Assassins Creed III. Opting for the Imperial Edition ($79.99) will get you 5 days of headstart, an assortment of digital items on top of the pre-order bonuses, and a copy of Assassins Creed IV: Black Flag.
Green Man Gaming is also sending out 25% off vouchers for TESO to subsribers to its newsletter. If that interests you, you may want to sign up.
TESO is scheduled to launch for PC and Mac on April 4th, 2014.
Honestly, thought it's obviously a ploy on Ubisofts part to try to get more people to use the Uplay system, it doesn't help when it comes to what the pre-order advantages provide. Offering more on top of lore-breaking and unfair advantages given by the ninety dollar edition dose very little to endear either of them to most folks :s

Joel Priest/Southern Ute Drum
Mancos senior Kayla Goff (3) lets fly a shot over Telluride's Shelby Brier during 2A-District 3 Tournament 'Pool 2' action last Saturday inside Ignacio Junior High School's gym [Pool 1 was being held inside Ignacio High's venue]. After defeating Nucla to start their day, the Lady Jays fell in five — 25-20, 25-22, 14-25, 13-25, 9-15 — to the eventual tourney champs, and then had their 2012 come to a close in a five-setter versus the host Volleycats. Scores from the match — the last for Goff, who overcame a left patella popping out of place in the THS match, and Megan Hess — were 26-24, 12-25, 15-25, 25-18, 13-15, as MHS finished fourth, with a 12-10 final record.
One person died, three were taken to the hospital and several others were displaced in an early morning fire Wednesday at the Tercero Townhouse units in west Durango.

- "Mr Ollivander had sent Luna a new wand that morning. She was out on the back lawn at that moment, testing its capabilities in the late afternoon sun. Dean, who had lost his wand to the Snatchers, was watching rather gloomily."
- —Description.[src]
The wand of Dean Thomas is of unknown length and wood and core materials.
Like most wizards and witches in Britain, he likely purchased it at the age of eleven before beginning his education at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in 1991. Dean lost his wand in March 1998 to a group of Snatchers. During the Battle of Hogwarts Dean acquired a new wand, either taken from one of the fallen or obtained by physical force.

I was at the art store today(Dick Blick) looking for a few new colors to work on my jet pack when I came across a new brand of spray cans targeted at the graffiti community. They have some awesome colors that you can't find with Krylon or Rustoleom. And to top it all off, every color has a satin finish! I've had a lot of trouble finding all of the right colors in satin. Most everything is always gloss.
There may now be a few more options to choose from when painting out Fett's.
The cans are called Montana Gold.
I bought a few colors just to try them out.
The are a little expensive($8.50 per can) but the colors are just too cool to pass up.

Dear Lucy,
Thank you for your reply of last August. Now I am in China, I had my first classes and I am worried of not having enough ideas through the semester. My classes are mostly oral so I have two worries.
How can I make them work as most as possible without getting them bored in the class with different activities? Moreover, how should I transfer these oral, reading and sometime writing skills into a mid term and a final exam?
Second, I teach a faculty class, 8 hours a week. Having no experience of teaching, Im asking myself how I can present different stuff week after week, and being well organized? Classes are 3 hours or 2 hours.
I was thinking on going at first, with previous class works, then go on exercices with the book the school provided me and then goes on reading and oral exercices with a newspaper articles or magazine. Working on oral, vocab, reading and pronounciation.
If you could suggest me some ideas and giving your opinion of what I expect to do, it would be really appreciated.

Trading for a 1985 635CSI
So, I'm trading my 1999 740iL, which I have been very happy with, for a 1985 635CSI with 130,000 miles. I am trying to get the guy to put between 3k-5k on top of the trade so I can reinvest my money back into my new 6 series. Not including blacking the car out, these are the mods that I plan to do;
1.) Add a Sterling Coated Header for Manual Transmissions Only : $749.95 USD
2.) Add a Tri-Flo Performance Exhaust System - twin 3" round tips : $939.95 USD
3.)Add a Schrick High Performace Camshaft -284 Degrees : $699.95 USD
4.) Add a, if applicable, Bavarian Autosport Performance Chip ECU w/ 24 pin chip : $249.95
Total: $2639.80
My question is not only does this sound like a safe investment, purchasing a car with 130,000 miles and a broken odometer, but would these modifications really add a large amount of horsepower/torque?
Thank you,
the mod's wont do much but make it louder and idle rough...
I would wait to make sure it will last more than a month without needing thousands in just maint. before planning a bunch of mods
it's old...things will break
can't say you could make a better decision in buying it though hehe I am quite partial!
I will be using a shrick cam in mine too most likely...let us know how you like it, my hope is that it will still run just as smooth as they arent too horribly aggressive, however one can never be too careful with these cars. I would get the car and wait - see what it really NEEDS and then start the mod process once you know it is up to snuff
make sure it has not been overheated etc. they like to run hot (at least both of mine have) My odometer is broken too lol (so is my temp gauge...sometimes)I have NO idea how many miles are actually on it, I assume something like 400k considering the way it runs...mine is the classic case of perfect body and thrashed motor
considering body work is out of my league it was perfect for me...currently rebuilding a donor motor for it Got some sport seats I am going to re-upholster etc. lots of odd's and end's to work on.
Make sure all your electrical options work...windows, seats, sunroof, fog lights...silly things that will show you the last owner took good care of it and took the time and bothered with the minor stuff...it adds up!
Oh and most importantly...POST PICS!
Welcome to the Shark Club! You'll love it, even if your shark breaks and you just dream about finding time and $$ to fix a couple of things...
Head over to www.bigcoupe.com and you'll find a large knowlegeable and friendly source of people to help you out with your new sixer.
What a classic car, and should be tons of fun.
I agree with 6-Brit above. DO NOT buy mods for your car until AFTER 1 year has passed. You need to use the $$ to ensure the sixer is running properly. Mine was nearly street-legal until a few things just fell apart this winter (and I store it during the winter). Mine is a '79, so I have 10 years on yours, but what I wouldn't have given to have gotten through a full year of ownership with $3-4k sitting in the bank for maintenance as soon as the spring hit!
Get the car going well, then play with the mods.
everytime I have attempted registering at bigcoupe.com it has never worked
I am not a moron and I followed the directions - what gives? no girls allowed?? They never send me a registration link once I fill out the reg. form.

Study finds 1 in 7 calf raisers feeds 3x some of the year
Feeding dairy calves three times per day (3x) rather than two is quickly rising in popularity, according to results of a recent nationwide survey. It's a practice that benefits both calves and their owners.
Two-times feeding has been standard practice for dairies and commercial calf ranches more or less forever. It's a system that fits well into human work schedules but generally prevents calves from growing as fast and efficiently as they could. If left with their mothers (not a good idea because it increases disease risk), calves will typically nurse 4 to 8 times per day.
Perhaps the biggest downside to 2x calf feeding is the extra stress that occurs during winter. Windy, wet and cold weather can double the daily calorie needs of calves. Not getting them results in weight loss, increased sickness, and greater risk of death.
To meet those additional nutritional needs, a few dairies and calf ranches have always fed 3x. Those who do so tend to swear by it. Three-times takes more labor and expense, but calves thrive, and there is much less sickness and death. Many studies have also found that calves fed 3x produce about 10 percent more milk during their first lactation.
According to a recent nationwide study by Merck Animal Health, the number of people feeding calves 3x is rising fast. In 2007, a survey by the National Animal Health Monitoring System found just 5.4 percent of calf raisers feed 3x. Three years later, however, the Merck study found 8 percent of respondents feed 3x all year and 14 percent do so during winter.
That's a growth trend we hope continues because it makes both dollars and sense for everyone who raises calves.

"The Old Spice guy," "Twitter in Plain English" These are all examples of how online video can change your business by changing how your customers see your business.
"But I already know how to work YouTube…! I'll shoot a video, upload it to YouTube, and then I'll ATTRACT viewers to my website… Video marketing in a nutshell!"
Try again, young sumo-ling.
Yes, YouTube has a lot of traffic, but guess where Google wants to keep that traffic? Yep, right there on YouTube for those ad dollars.
Attracting visitors to your site from YouTube is like spending $5 on Facebook Ads… it's baby steps. While video can be good for attracting an audience, it has the potential to be AMAZING when it comes to ENGAGING and CONVERTING that audience.
This action course teaches you how to unleash that potential, and build a video marketing machine that not only attracts viewers but CONVERTS those viewers into happy, paying customers.
Would you rather attract 10,000 visitors who might or might not stay, and who might (but most likely won't) convert?
Or do you want to be the business that converts 9 out of 10 visitors to your site because your video pitch is too good to ignore?
"Why videos?"
Videos tell a story with a human face.
You don't hold a conversation with a block of text. And, it's that much easier to say "No, thanks" to that block of text.
Video is the only medium that scales and personalizes your business with one piece of content.
Online video -- done right -- engages and converts your users in spite of themselves.
Online video melts away users' objections, and turns VISITORS into paying CUSTOMERS.
Why this course?
Beyond YouTube: Analytics-Driven Video Marketing is a crash course on video marketing for conversions (that's actual dollars!) for less than what you'd pay for half an hour of a pro video creator's time.
The course is led by Chris Savage, the CEO of Wistia, a leading video analytics and hosting startup. Chris isn't a guy you'd normally be able to take out to coffee for a lesson, or even pay for his consulting time.
Beyond YouTube: Analytics-Driven Video Marketing brings you in direct contact with Chris' brain, and unlocks the veteran expertise of his team of video creators, marketers, and analytics geeks.
What you get
1. Over an hour and a half of exclusive video lessons, covering key questions:
Getting Started
Analytics and SEO
Case Studies & Examples
2. The Beyond YouTube Action Guide
The exclusive Action Guide that you can download and read on the go, covering:
and lots more…
3. One month FREE of Wistia's Standard Hosting & Analytics Plan
Normally $99 for ordinary people… free for AppSumo customers. The Standard plan gives you a head start, with:
The best part? Get all of this for less than you'd spend for just HALF AN HOUR of a pro video creator's time.
That's the an hour and a half of video lessons, the Action Guide, and one month of Wistia Standard (public price $99) for less than what you'd pay to talk to a prof video creator for 30 minutes.
Do you ever wonder about those crazy customers who love a product so much they're out there sharing advertisements with all their Facebook friends?
Those should be your customers. That can be your business.
Click the "BUY NOW" button at the bottom of the page to get Beyond YouTube and start growing your business through video.
Not a very good value for money. All webinars are free on Wistia's website and a 10 page pdf could hardly represent $99,-
Only any good if you're planning on signing up with Wistia anyhow...

Course was supposed to teach how to create video. It did nothing of the sort. They spent a lot of time explaining their thoughts in regards to analytics (which I had no interest in). I was very interested to get some real tips on creating good video...but the only time they mentioned any tips for creating video, the tip was about including stills in the video. I think the course is completely worthless. ...watched a lot of their diatribe...but no way I'll ever get that time back. You should pay me for the time you used.

Thanks fellas,
I found the 1st column of video really helpful. The 2nd column not so much. Felt like you were pushing Wistia instead of concentrating on video marketing techniques. Was good to see the case studies though.
Tell me, how does Wistia go with SEO? How is site mapping with Wistia any better than YouTube? Aside from the better analytics, I am not seeing the benefit... We are a web and print business (regional) that is definitely looking at video as a major marketing component. Any boost we can get is an advantage. We have the in-house skills for good quality video including green-screening. Advise?

Dear my great friends,
Let me go stright to the point. Indeed, I love talking and sharing here. It's a very good media for sharing and learning English together with fun feeling. Unfortunately, there were people tried to insert about their faith, and religion here. I think it's a very critical issue. We can't force other people h***e the same point of views like us, on the other hand we should respect other people's religion, faith, and so on. One thing that we must remember, all religions teach us about love, that is about how far you can take care your environment. When we help each other it means we love God, no matter what they are. So please think about other people who DON'T like STATEMENT WAR like before.
I totally respect your point of view, your faith, and your religion. However, they are totally critical issues which are not suitable for this group.
Let we talk about common things and begin to be good friends each other. Let we learn together.
I definetely agree, we all just need love without borders, frontiers, and other issues. I don't care what is your religion, we can be friends and it doesn't need so many words a good beh***iour it is enough, what one does is always more effective than what one says.....

George Bush has the lowest rating of any president in American history, he has left an economy that is in ruins, and the only regrets this man can express are his use of some expressions which he now says should never have been expressed! He now admits using the expressions, "Mission Accomplished" or getting Osama bin Laden, "Dead or Alive" were probably the incorrect thing to say at the time. "I regret saying some things I shouldn't have said" because a president should "be careful what you say." In his CNN interview, George Bush expressed no regrets for plunging the United States into a war over WMD that never existed nor did he mention his responsibility for the death of over 4,000 Americans. It is words, not deeds that are on this man's mind because he really has no regrets over any of his actions.
It is interesting the president did not mention his use of words that characterized political opponents as less than good Americans or insisted if you did not approve of his actions it was evidence of support for terrorism. Two expressions are recalled by the president, but not a single apology for his mistakes. Who can forget the moment during his debate with John Kerry when he simply could not recall a mistake he made?

SCALE 9X: It's a wrap
Yeah, it's over, but it was an absolutely great show. Visit the site for some of the details, and see you next year in L.A.!
Just call me the ADD Poster Boy: After winning a Palm Pre 2 from the HP booth, I am finding that I now own a phone that is smarter than me. While I search far and wide regarding its hackability — like, Google: "Can I install Android?" (heh heh heh) — I have to say much of the Sunday/Monday learning curve has taken me away from this blog.
But now that I've figured it out, I can report back about Sunday, the weekend and everything else SCALE 9X. Like:
More people: SCALE had been flirting with overwhelming success all weekend. Friday's "problem" at registration was that the folks in that department faced a lot more people than normally come on a Friday, to the point of where 800 of the attendees for the weekend came on Friday. The final tally — 1,802. So 1,002 folks came over the weekend to make this a record year for SCALE, and as a result, it makes the outlook for FOSS this year really robust. So get out there and FOSS it up, folks.
Better venue: The Hilton went above and beyond to help SCALE be a success. The larger venue made for easier traffic flow in the aisles to the point where it appeared that there were less people at times due to the fact that there were less human jams, save for booths holding raffles (like the HP booth, where yours truly won a Palm Pre 2. Did I mention that?). Most booth folks I spoke to said they were incredibly happy with the event, as were many attendees.
Better connectivity: The wireless, which was choked last year, performed well after a small hiccup on Saturday morning. Bear in mind that when you get 1,800 geeks in the same area at the same time, your wireless performance may be . . .. how can I put this tactfully? . . . taxed. But the SCALE communications staff nailed it this year and there were few, if any, of the holdups that the show suffered from last year.
But at this point, you're probably asking, "But Larry the Free Software Guy, what about Sunday?"
Sunday was fairly uneventful, as they usually are. Jane Silber of Ubuntonical gave her keynote talk on "The Cloud and Human Beings," which was well attended. Booths on Sunday took the usual breather since there were less people around — and this serves as a hint to those attending shows: Want to have a longer, more engaged talk with folks in a booth? The second day — in SCALE's case, Sunday — is the best day to do this. At the Fedora booth, we were able to help some folks with Fedora related problems and got to take more time with issues that came up. Not only this, it allowed me a chance to go swag hunting and this year, rather than taking one of each and backing in the fork lift, I took things I was actually going to read and/or use.
A couple of notes:
Nexenta a server darling? A couple of server vendors had booths at SCALE, one of which was Pogo Linux, and the server folks seem to have latched on to Nexenta, a Solaris-based OS, as their operating system of choice. Maybe it's a sign of things to come, but it's interesting that they've taken this Solaris based distro and made it their own.
Best swag: Rackspace didn't have the tattoo sleeve at SCALE, so the best SWAG — stuff we all get, for those of you keeping score at home — goes to Softlayer for their flying rings. Honorable mention also goes to The Positive Internet Company for their giraffe toy.
The legend lives on: The borders on the OpenSUSE booth structure this year are black, where once they were grey. They were grey when I accidentally — accidentally, I swear — spilled coffee on it and possibly stained it when Joe "Zonker" Brockmeier gave me a stuffed lizard for Mirano that year and I spilled coffee on the booth. The legend of the coffee spill lives on and it has grown to become that I had spilled a pot of coffee on the booth, as well as I might have spilled a pot of coffee on Zonker himself in my zeal to trash the OpenSUSE booth. None of which is true, but it makes for a great story of which William Randolph Hearst ("never let the facts get in the way of a good story") would be proud.
Meanwhile, 40 minutes later . . . .: For those of you still keeping score at home, I am told it took approximately 42 minutes for Jane Silber to say the word "Linux" in her keynote on Sunday. I wasn't there — I had a couple of other things to do, so I'm never able to make keynotes — but this was relayed to me by someone who thought that was peculiar. Indeed.
Now it's on to Linux Fest Northwest.

The Wizard of OSCON – Day 2
First things first: There is a Wizard of OSCON. I'll reveal that person's identity — without having to go behind the curtain — at the end of the blog (and no fair going straight to the bottom).
The second day followed the same playbook from most large shows. Following a tsunami of people on day one of the exhibition, the second day of the exhibition is more tempered and there are less people. But there's an up side to the latter, specifically that we're able to talk at length about matters Fedora.
Being chained to the booth — and I say that as if it's a bad thing, but it's not — I was unable to go to any of the sessions. Not a problem there, since talking to people in the booth is a lot more enjoyable. So dealing with questions about Fedora, introducing the distro and talking to people about FOSS suits me better.
The people come in waves, thanks to the sessions, no doubt. The folks who visited the booth for the past two days, as they do at all large shows, come in a wide range of experience levels. Fielding questions from "What is Fedora?" to the most detailed questions about the kernel — passed off to someone more experienced, of course — the range of questions and the ever-increasing number of people reflect that FOSS is gaining a healthy glow in the grand scheme of things.
Best SWAG: Overall, the SWAG at the event has been good. Three items stand out and I'll rank them from third to first. Finishing third would be the Firehost playing cards, and you might ask why the Firehost toilet paper wouldn't rank until you actually used it (nice idea, bad execution, Firehost).
Finishing second, and most would consider this the winner, would be the tattoo sleeves from Rackspace. You put this sleeve on your arm and, assuming you're skin tone is a range of pink to white, you have an arm covered with Rackspace tattoos.
The best swag of the event goes to Chisimba, a South African outlet at the show. Since South Africa just hosted the World Cup, they brought Chisimba.com vuvuzelas. Orange vuvuzelas.
And now we're off to meet the wizard: The one person who always makes OSCON work for us — the one who pulls administrative rabbits out of hats and who is a textbook go-to person — would be O'Reilly's May Munji. Thanks, May, for making the shows a great experience for those of us toiling in the booth trenches.
Tomorrow: The OSCON epilogues.

SEATTLE -- City councilmember Richard Conlin has introduced a bill that proposes to stock half of every vending machine in city-run buildings with "healthier foods."
The Seattle City Council and Mayor Mike McGinn are following the lead of Washington's King County Board of Health, which issued voluntary guidelines that encourage organizations in Seattle and the surrounding region to provide healthier choices in vending machines. | SEE STORY
Conlin pointed to the Parks and Recreation Department's success in requiring community centers and park facility to stock only "healthy choices" in vending machines. Those rules were introduced in 2009. Revenues reportedly dropped initially, but have returned to their previous levels, according to park officials. Snack selections include low-fat Cheez-Its, baked potato chips, granola bars and dried fruit and drink machines are merchandised with diet soda, nonfat and 1% milk, water and 100% fruit juice.
The city guidelines, if adopted, would mandate that half of all vending machine foods meet the criteria for the "healthiest" or "healthier" categories as defined by the King County Healthy Vending Guidelines. Healthiest includes baby carrots, fresh broccoli, dried fruit, whole grain crackers, rice cakes and pita. Healthier includes baked chips, fruit in light syrup and low-sodium nuts. The remaining half could consist of regular chips, candy, pastries and sweetened drinks including tea, coffee, fruit drinks and sodas.

Kristen Stewart goes topless in her latest film, "On The Road" (a big screen adaptation of Jack Kerouac's famed book), but the actress says she wasn't nervous about the on-screen nudity, thanks to director Walter Salles.
"It didn't bother me," Kristen, 22, told MTV News at the Toronto International Film Festival of her exposed scenes in the movie. "You can do no wrong with [Salles]. He puts so much inside of you.
PLAY IT NOW: The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part II - New Trailer
"In the four-week rehearsal process, it was okay to ask any question, to bring up any story, to really overanalyze everything and intellectualize everything," she added.
The actress, who will next been seen in the final "Twilight" installment, "Breaking Dawn - Part 2," said she and her "On The Road" co-stars (Garrett Hedlund, Kirsten Dunst and Sam Riley) were completely entrenched in their roles and so prepared that they were given the freedom to improvise lines for their characters - a feat she found more intimidating than going topless.

"Once we got to set, it was so about just breathing and letting it happen. He put so much trust in us," she said of her director. "So it was like, 'OK, so I have to take my clothes off?' It's so not a big [deal]."
"On The Road" is slated to hit theaters on December 21.

Cara & Josh
October 6
Batesville, Indiana
Q & A with the Bride:
What was the one thing about your venue that made you know it was the one?
The setting in the vineyard was absolutely beautiful for an outdoor wedding. Also the food at the winery was always fantastic.
Which three details from your wedding were your favorites?
It's hard to pick just three! The setting in the vineyard, my dress, and the band.
If you could offer one piece of advice for other couples planning their wedding, what would it be?
I would get a videographer at least for the ceremony and for the speeches. It is the one thing I regret not doing and it goes so fast!
Give us the one moment in your wedding day you can't stop thinking about.
Right after the ceremony our wedding planner handed me a glass of wine and my husband a beer and we walked to the front of the vineyard to take some final pictures. We had a brief moment alone, newly married and it was wonderful.

Google has commemorated the 18th Century English cabinet maker and furniture designer Thomas Chippendale with a Doodle comprised of images of his famous furniture.
Chippendale, who would have celebrated his 295th birthday today, became one of Britain's most celebrated interior designers.
His work, in the mid-Georgian, English Rococo, and Neoclassical styles is highly collectible.
In 2010 The Harrington Commode, a chest of drawers thought to be crafted by Thomas Chippendale, was sold at auction for £3.8million.
Click on the image above to see a gallery of the best Google Doodles
The piece of furniture, which dates from around 1770, sold for three times its original estimate.
A previous record for most costly piece of English furniture had also belonged to Chippendale for his George II Parcel-Gilt Padouk Cabinet-on-Stand which sold for £2,729,250 at Christie's in June 2008.
Born in Farnley near Otley into a family of Yorkshire carpenters he moved to London aged 30 and established a workshop in St Martins lane.
He published a book, The Gentleman and Cabinet-Maker's Director, six years later. He died in London in 1779, aged 61.

A .45 will certainly put down a cougar. It is probably not as good as 10mm versus a bear.
I would get the .45. The remote chance of a bear attack seems substantially outweighed by the .45's much greater availability, lower cost, and lighter recoil (compared to full-charge 10mm loads).
