Monday July 23rd, 2012 4:59pm
The season is officially in full gear as teams have already begun to separate themselves from the pack in 2012. Northwestern, Maryland and North Carolina have proven it's same as it ever was as the perennial powers sit atop the national ranks early on this season. Florida trails closely as they junior-laden team has proven that last year was not a fluke.
Ohio State and Vanderbilt have become dark horses early on. Both teams have had key wins early on and remain undefeated heading into the weekend. Syracuse made a statement early this week as they dropped over twenty goals on Boston College and Virginia topped Loyola in a game that proved the Cavs are back in the hunt, as well.
Here are a few games to watch heading into the weekend:
The young Cards have struggled to find consistency in 2012. Dropping their season opener at the hands of Northwestern might have been expected; however, their next pair of losses at the hands of Ohio State and Notre Dame weren't as foreseeable. James Madison enters the weekend 0-0 and will take on Cal before heading to Palo Alto. US Team member Casey Ancarrow must be accounted for if the Cards hope to return to their winning ways vs. the Dukes. Adding to that, James Madison returns their entire midfield and three-fourths of their attacking unit from a season ago. Cally Chakrian returns to anchor the defense, as well. The Dukes are favored heading into the weekend, but Stanford boasts the talent to pull an upset. The Boeri sisters and Catherine Swanson are proven scores. Where Stanford will need to pick it up is on the defensive end, making stops is where the Cardinals will win this game.
The junior All American returns to lead James Madison yet again. Coming off another year with the US Team and a successful 2011 campaign, Ancarrow has been named the CAA Preseason Player of The Year. She's the heart of the JMU attack and will be key if the Dukes win this weekend. On the other hand, the key to a Stanford win will be stopping the JMU quarterback.
The Blue Devils can never seem to escape injuries. First Team All American and US Team member Katherine Thomas is out indefinitely after undergoing surgery and her absence has hit Duke hard early on. The heart of the Duke midfield, Thomas' leadership was going to be one of the Blue Devils strongest points in 2012. However, Tewaaraton Finalist Emma Hamm is still in Durham. The fifth-year senior captain does it all for Duke, a team that has dropped two of their last three games. Meanwhile, Maryland has been tearing through their competition. The Terps, led by Katie Schwarzmann, are on a mission in 2012. Karri Ellen Johnson is back and redshirt freshman Brooke Griffin seemingly hasn't missed a step after sitting out 2011 with an ACL injury.
The Terps have been on cruise control early on as Duke might prove to be their first test in 2012. If the Blue Devils hope to keep up with the high-scoring Terps, they'll need another draw performance that they had in the first half vs. Northwestern. Emma Hamm and Kim Wenger were dominant from the center circle, which allowed Duke to settle on offense and setup their attack. Maryland is making a statement that they're the best team in the country thus far and they have the depth to back it up. Brittany Dipper and Iliana Sanza anchor a backline that hasn't given up double-digits yet in 2012. A key to this game will be a strong offensive outing for Duke. Holding Maryland to less than ten could be a far more difficult task.
The Maryland native had to sit out a year ago and watch as her team fell in the National Championship to Northwestern. Her production thus far in 2012 has been incredible. Griffin running alongside Schwarzmann gives Maryland a one-two punch from the midfield that no other team in the country has.
The Cavaliers are a senior laden team on a mission in 2012. All American Julie Gardner, redshirt senior Ainsley Baker, Josie Owen and Charlie Finnigan are all in their fourth years at UVA and are aiming to return to the top of The ACC. Meanwile, in upstate NY the 'Cuse has returned. The Orange crushed Boston College in their season opening, dropping 23 goals on the visiting Eagles. Sophomore Alyssa Murray broke a school record with eight goals and finished with ten points. US Team member Michelle Tumolo is the glue that holds the attack together as Syracuse looked like a well-oiled machine on Tuesday afternoon. Heading into the weekend, head coach Gary Gait is 0-4 vs. Virginia's Myers.
A year ago, Virginia traveled north and easily rolled over Syracuse. This time, Syracuse heads down to Charlottesville in the hopes of returning the favor. Both teams boast explosive offensive threats, but this game will undoubtedly come down to defense. Virginia is young on the defensive end while Syracuse has a bit more experience under their belt. However, UVA has the experience in goal that Syracuse doesn't have (see: Liz Hogan). If the 'Cuse top the 'Hoos, Alyssa Constantino and/or Kelsey Richardson will have to be on.
The rookie attacker's huge production (5g, 1a) in her career debut unfortunately didn't get the recognition it may have warranted on Tuesday evening. Sitting in Murray's shadow was a debut six point performance for the Carthage native and an even more impressive 10 draw controls.
US Team member Ally Carey squares off with teammates Laura Zimmerman and Kara Cannizzaro this weekend as the Tar Heels travel to Nashville on Sunday. In just their second game of the season, the Commodores will look to tackle yet another ACC power. Vanderbilt stunned Duke on February 12th and held the Blue Devils to just twelve shots (five goals). North Carolina was tested early and responded brilliantly in 2012. The Heels topped Florida, 11-9, in their season opening before rolling past Liberty and Richmond in their following two contests. The Carolina offense is a "pick-your-poison" type attack where a number of threats can wreak havoc on opponents. If Vandy wants to top the Heels and continue to climb the charts, they'll need to put together a very similar defensive outing that they had against the Blue Devils two weeks ago. Easier said than done.
I don't mean to go with the obvious choice again, but Carey is one of the game's best all around players. The Maryland native has made history in Nashville and the heart she plays with is game-changing. If Carey can be the pulse she often is for Vanderbilt on Sunday, the Commodores could continue to climb their way to the top.

Discussion in 'Great Skate Debate' started by danafan, Mar 17, 2013.
@skate_moivo: @chrisakadanafan Yes, with @tash_purich
From twitter.
Good luck to them!
Oh great for them!!!!!
Great!! Good luck to them!!
Disappointing news. She's not exactly in his league.
Wishing them all the best going forward. It's just too bad there isn't another girl who could skate with him.
Given his height, his choices are extremely limited.
Her solo elements do look very strong on youtube, maybe she will be more focused on pair with such a quality partner?
Yay! Hope they have great success, I love Mervin Tran.
Thank you for providing the confirmation, danafan. The competition for the third pairs spot next year will be very interesting.
Here is an article about it, in French:
Does Mervin switching countries affect his ability to get two GPs under the comeback skater rule? Either way, they'll almost certainly get SC if they progress reasonably well.
A partial translation:
As has been the case throughout his career, Tran quickly landed on his skates. With Gauthier and Marcotte, he studied the list of candidates who might skate with him, and he quickly settled on Natasha Purich, a seventeen-year-old from Alberta, who was second at Junior Nationals with Sebastian Arcieri.
"I'm not the tallest of skaters [1.75 m], and Narumi was really tiny," says Tran. "But Natasha is even smaller [1.49 m] and has plenty of experience on the international scene. We're still at the very beginning of our relationship, but I think we have the potential to go far.
"I could not skate in competition this year, but I took the opportunity to continue my studies in mechanical engineering [at McGill] and work in the gym. I am now stronger, more solid [and better able] to carry my partner. And I am still only 22 years old, and I see myself still skating in 2018 and even in 2022."
Best of luck to them.
Her basic skating and speed need some work to catch up with him, but I wouldn't describe her as "not in his league" - she's got the same throws and jumps as Narumi has, with a lot more consistency on the jumps. And Natasha is a born performer - I'm expecting some great programs out of them. I really can't think of anyone in Canada who would be a better partner for him in terms of size and ability, so I'm extremely excited for this partnership!
Looking forward to seeing them!
Good luck to the new team.
I had the opportunity to watch Natasha live at Junior Nationals this year. She competed in both the Pairs and Singles events. In Pairs, she and her partner won Silver.
In the Singles event, she seemed a fast skater. Although, that could have been excitement. I noticed her coach giving her the slow down hand signal after a jump fall.
I wonder if Mervin will move to Alberta, or if Natasha will move to Montreal?
Natasha has been in Montreal for over a year. She was training there with Arcieri.
Somebody needs to update her Wiki page
I was just wondering if Mervin had found anyone to skate w/yet. Nice to hear and yes, that 3rd spot for next year just got very interesting indeed...
Good luck to them.
Best of luck to Purich and Tran with their new partnership. The battle for the third spot next season in Canada should be quite intense.
And I hope Richard Gauthier encourages Sebastian Arcieri to keep skating pairs too as with the right new partner he can continue to develop.
I think that he's been out of competing internationally for Japan for long enough--I believe it's just 1 year that pairs/dance couples have to sit out before skating for another country.
Wishing them a great summer getting those pairs moves on track together!
Yeah they should be ok for next season IIRC.
So how does switching federations work for Mervin? Will Japanese fed release him?
Good luck to Mervin and Natasha!
BTW, how tall is Nastasha? She looks taller than Narumi in this vid:
He's a Canadian citizen, and he will have sat out a complete season. I don't think he needs a release, but if he does, I think the Japanese Federation will be more than happy to give it to him, since they effectively "fired" him.
Looks like Canada may have yet another strong pair.
Or, if they subsidized his training with Takahashi and made him into a pairs skater, the Japanese Federation might want to protect their investment in Takahashi by preventing Tran from using the training he got because of them to compete with here.
We've been around this on FSU many times. There's nothing anyone has been able to cite in the ISU Constitution or Regulations that addresses whether a citizen of a country can be held against his/her will if s/he's been skating for another Federation. The skater can apply for an exception, but that can only be applied for under Rule 109 after the release has been denied. Volosozhar, for example, was released by the Ukranian Federation to skate for Russia. It was not automatic once she was granted Russian citizenship.
If Tran is released, there's nothing to stop him from skating for Canada, because he's a citizen and as a Pairs skater, he will already have not skated for 12 months for Japan next season.
How much "protection" can the Japanese Federation possibly get? (Serious question, even if it doesn't sound like it.)
I don't really know much about either skater's new partner other than that Takahashi's partner is new to pairs and Tran's isn't. It has always been my impression, however, that Tran is a much stronger skater than Takahashi. Breaking up the pair wasn't Tran's idea, Canada already has two very strong pairs that they can send to the team competition at the Olympics, and Tran will eventually be able to skate for Canada no matter what the Japanese Federation wants to do about it. So how much of a benefit can Japan derive from keeping Tran out of competition, assuming they can do so?
She is 4' 10" according to her ISU bio. Although, Skate Canada has her listed at 4' 8". She is a few inches shorter than Hayleigh Bell (the Jr. Pairs gold medalist at nationals), who is listed as 5' 1" at both ISU and Skate Canada.
Natasha's eyes are about level with Hayleigh's mouth...
I suspect the Skate Canada site may be the most accurate, hence Natasha and Narumi are about the same height more-or-less. Narumi is listed as 4' 8" according to her ISU bio.
I was at the Jr. Nationals with my sister-in-law, and we would sometimes referring to her as "little Natasha" . She was certainly the smallest of the single skaters.
He does need a release but I am sure that the Japanese federation won't cause any problems (or at least I hope so since it's Takahashi who dumped him and not the other way round).
If you had bothered to read this thread before asking your question, you would know the answer already.

Laura Harvey wants Arsenal Ladies to put on a show when they face INAC Kobe in the opening game of their Japan Charity Tour.
The domestic treble winners fly to the Far East on Thursday and will take on the Japanese champions in a charity match at Tokyo's National Stadium on November 30.
In March, Japan's north-east coast was hit by the country's most powerful earthquake since records. Harvey hopes that Arsenal's tour can do some good.
"We want to try to get as many people as possible to come to all the games and to give something back to those who have lost something over the last 12 months through the disasters," she said.
"We want to make sure that we give whatever we can - whether that be a photograph, an autograph, a T-shirt or whatever.
"We want to let people know that we want to help them as much as we can. We hope we can put on a show for them that they can enjoy."

Great Britain is considering the possibility of constructing the world's largest tidal power station which has the potential of providing 5% of the nation's power. The Severn River is the longest one in England and during the spring, it transforms the 350 kilometer-long river into a surfer's paradise when violent flood waves come crashing into the river's narrow mouth from the Atlantic. the 16 kilometer(7.4 mile) barrier spanning the inlet between southern England and south Wales would be the world's largest. Its turbines would have the capacity to deliver an extraordinary amount of green-powered energy whose energy output would be the equivalent of eight nuclear power plants. It is estimated when completed the waves would produce enough energy to handle 5% of the entire nation's needs.
Several environmental groups have spoken out against the project because it would threaten a number of species and their habitats. There is no question the world will continually encounter such dilemmas, should the interest of animal life take precedence over human needs for energy. One might argue that not doing such projects would save the lives of thousands of birds, but continuing to rely on traditional forms of energy also destroy animal lives. The era of easy choices about energy are over.

Published Feb. 25, 2013
Springfield, Ohio – The Bullock Math Academy, a new initiative at Wittenberg University sponsored by local philanthropist Rosalyn Bullock, is currently accepting applications from 6th and 7th grade students attending schools in Clark County. The free program includes a weeklong residential summer institute and additional experiences where scholars will be exposed to math enrichment opportunities, field trips and "hands on" projects. The students continuing with the academy through high school will be awarded a college scholarship. Deadline to apply is Friday, March 1. Apply today at bullockmathacademy.org.
For the academy's new director, Linda Hallinan, math is so much more than the timed tests and sheer memorization so common in elementary and middle schools nationwide. Math, Hallinan says, surrounds every person, every day, and getting students excited by that is her personal mission.
Thanks to the generous investment by Bullock, who credits her attorney, Daniel C. Harkins, for the idea, as well as her late husband's love of math, the new Bullock Math Academy will welcome its first students in summer 2013. In addition to the programs for the students, the academy will also sponsor an annual community speaker event.
For more information on the Bullock Math Academy, contact Hallinan at 937-327-7936, by e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com or online at www.bullockmathacademy.org.

Agile and Lean transformations depend to a great extent on cultivating a good sourcing ecosystem. The decisions you make around the partners and providers supporting your transformation and projects will be at the core of a successful strategy. But sourcing strategy needs to go beyond just resource or services providers (read outsourcing) and address a larger ecosystem made of Agile SW development and delivery choices, collaboration and communication capabilities for distributed teams, and teams' physical work spaces, standard equipment, and office layout.
In September, I published a report on how to source your Agile strategy, that describes what the ecosystem looks like and how to navigate it effectively, the document is part of our larger research container on Agile - The Agile and Lean Playbook. The report gives an overview on how large vendors, SIs, and medium to small consulting organizations can (not) help you with your Agile journey but also what you need to do to be successful. Here are some of the takeaways from the research:

Food Maestro; Joe Lam
September 16, 2013 , 5:23 PM by Elizabeth McKenzie
Joe Lam opened a Yum Cha restaurant in Castlemaine after he moved to the small township from Hong Kong about 5 years ago.
Surprisingly, back in Hong Kong Joe wasn't a chef, he didn't even work in hospitality he was a construction worker.
However, Joe loved to cook. As a child he would help his mother cook for his family of 12. So, when he moved to Australia, he decided it was time to make his hobby his job.
Joe focuses on using organic and free range produce where possible, which he says gives him a point of difference over city restaurants.

|"Are you a wizard or not?"
The title of this article is conjectural. Although it is based on canonical information, the actual name is conjecture and may be supplanted at any time by additional information released from canonical sources. If this occurs, please move this page to the appropriate title.
This letter was written in September of 1995 by Dolores Umbridge to Professor Minerva McGonagall, to inform her of the actions of Harry Potter, who is in her House. Umbridge gave the letter to Harry to deliver. She sealed the parchment seamlessly to ensure Harry could not read it beforehand, but Minerva was able to open it with a tap of her wand.
I would like to bring to your
attention the insolent behaviour,
in class, of Mr Potter.
The following reprimandable incidents
occurred under my authority:
1- Potter shouted at me in class.
2- Potter called me a liar in class.
3- Potter alleged that He who must
not be named has returned.
I trust you will consider these
transgressions with due severity.
Dolores Umbridge
Behind the scenes
- At the top of the letter, which is written on pink parchment, an angry-looking kitten can be seen peering out of some leaves.
- The contents of the letter are not seen in either the book or the film, but are only revealed in Harry Potter Limited Edition. In the book, Umbridge seals the letter shut with a spell. Also in the book, however, Minerva McGonagall reads each of the allegations out loud to Harry and asks him to verify that they are true, then offers him a biscuit. Additionally, in the book, the letter also contained the details of Umbridge's chosen punishment-- detention with her every evening that school week.

PetiteSirah wrote:Wow, are you guys in for a treat today.
Stillman is an insta-buy for me. I don't care about the varietal, I'll generally buy whatever he makes, because he's awesome and talented.
But this... this...
This is by far his best PS yet. And I've had every Black Zeppelin he's sold on here, some he hasn't, and some of the other Stillman wines (Stillmen?).
This is truly exceptional. Sure, it's pricier than the Black Zeppelin, but there's a reason that a BMW 7 series costs more than the 3 series.
I was lucky enough to be vol-ratted a bottle of this wine. And the travel shock didn't slow it a bit.
I decanted it for several hours, and the nose is incredible, despite shipping today. After several hours, when first poured into the glass, there were notes of tart cranberry and some meat juice, from game cooked on seasoned cast iron -- just that bit of umami and hint of a tang. On the palate, those flavors went into the background, joined by animale, as dominant dark berry flavors came to the fore.
As the wine opened, more notes came and it softened, but never became the least bit flabby. More craisins and dried blueberries on the nose, umami and venison with some currant, the hint of iron fading further.
It changed notably as it opened, but went from great to grand, enjoyable the entire time. A complex, and masterful wine, that, the entire time, had multiple notes at different end of the spectrum, hints of coffee and game meat and dried berries, not just adjacent flavors.
To me the really impressive thing about this wine is that even as it softened, there is not even a hint of flab -- the oak is used with a very subtle hand. And, as is Stillman's style, it punches below its weight, alcohol-wise. The tannins are certainly there (it's PS, after all), but not dominant, restrained for a PS, especially at this age.
I've had a hell of a lot of PS, and this is now easily in my top tier. To give you long-time wooters some perspective, I enjoyed this more than any of Kent's PS (with the possible exception of the '01 Reserve), but it was even more complex than that, with flavor combinations and intricacies not often found in PS.
This is by far Stillman's best wine I've tried, his magnum opus to date. It's a wine that any of us should be proud to associate with in any way, and one that properly bears Stillman's name.
Well done, my friend. Well done.
(Needless to say, snatch this up. You won't be disappointed.)
Thanks L, it was this type of reportage that helped w.w. develop a few years ago.

I had to buy it. Had to. Going to put it in the "don't touch for a while" section of my wine fridge.
Is that a SIWBM I hear crumbling?

Stillman I would gladly pay you to ship some 'ceramics' to NH anytime. I too have sent many gifts to the family in the form of 'collectible bottles' ;-)

Sadly I don't think I'll be there this year. Living in SoCal has its (many? several? few?) drawbacks.
Above my price point right now, but couldn't help myself based on the comments above.

The only way to keep a WBM going is to NOT look at woot.wine!
I don't see any decanting or aging necessary on this PS. It is very good with lots of purple berries and violets emerging...some barnyard though so not sure about the price we were charged. Maybe give it a year. It might change. No tannins or acidity for preservative action, so I wouldn't hold it for more than a year. Fun drink!

Peyronie's (pay-roe-NEEZ) disease is the development of fibrous scar tissue inside the penis that causes curved, painful erections.
Men's penises vary in shape and size. Having a curved erection is common and isn't necessarily a cause for concern. However, in some men, Peyronie's disease causes a significant bend or pain.
This can prevent a man from having sex or might make it difficult to get or maintain an erection (erectile dysfunction). For many men, Peyronie's disease also causes stress and anxiety.
In a small percentage of men, Peyronie's disease goes away on its own. But in most cases, it will remain stable or worsen. Treatment might be needed if the curvature is severe enough that it prevents successful sexual intercourse.

Defense Secretary Panetta Discusses Tough Negotiations over Lockheed F-35 Fighters

No contract after nearly a year of negotiations
Negotiations between the U.S. government and Lockheed Martin over the $400 billion F-35 Lightning II program have been tense.
Defense News
reports that one deputy program manager said that the relationship between the Department of Defense and Lockheed is "the worst I have ever seen."
After that comment was made, U.S. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta stated, "I don't know that I would portray it in those terms. These are difficult negotiations, as they always are when you're dealing with the amount of money and the complexity that's involved with the Joint Strike Fighter."
Defense News
reports that last week Deputy Defense Secretary Ashton Carter put his support behind comments made by Air Force Major General Christopher Bogdan. Bogdan had harsh words for Lockheed Martin's failure to sign a contract with the Pentagon for 32 F-35 fighters after almost a
year of negotiations
However, Panetta does not agree that the relationship between the U.S. government Lockheed is the worst he's ever seen.

"I don't share it, number one, because … I don't know the history of just how much has gone on in the past," Panetta said. "But at least from what I have seen at this point, my view of it is these are very tough negotiations, but they aren't a reflection that either side has given up or thinks that the other side, you know, is in a more difficult state at all."
Panetta is also reportedly unhappy that Congress won't be back in session until after the elections in November. An initial round of budget cuts in defense spending is set to begin in January. With Congress out of session until the elections are over, there is no chance of avoiding or delaying the defense spending cuts.
Panetta said, "I'll take whatever the hell deal they can make right now to deal with sequestration. The problem now is that they've left town and all of this has now been put off into the lame duck session."
"We need stability," he said. "You want a strong national defense for this country? I need to have some stability. And that's what I'm asking the Congress to do: Give me some stability with regards to the funding of the Defense Department for the future."

During the past decade as Europe witnessed an economic explosion, it became common in m any nations of the EU to encourage immigrants to migrate in order to have people around wiling to deal with the dirty, dangerous, and physically difficult jobs required in society. However, the economic decline has resulted in unleashing latent feelings of hate toward those who are different. Immigrant centers in Belfast recently received leaflets that threatened immigrants with death. The message was clear. "Get out of our Queen's country before our bonfire night and parade day." The leaflet was delivered to centers whose clientele is mainly Muslim, Indian or Polish. It threatened to blow up buildings in which immigrants live. Patrick Yu, who heads the Northern Ireland Council for Ethnic Minorities, believes the leaflets were mainly designed to frighten. There is even suspicion the leaflets might be the work of angry teenagers rather than an organized adult group seeking to kill people.
Northern Irish celebrate on July 12th an historic holiday which is strongly jingoistic. The Police have made clear they will not tolerate any violence toward minorities even during the week of celebrations and parades which ordinarily stir up feelings of nationalism and hate toward those who are different. Historically, the enemy of Protestants were the Catholics, but these days the target is anyone who is not born in Ireland. Perhaps, that is good news for Catholics– provided they don't come from Poland or Romania!

A source told the Boston Herald that New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski will need "a fourth operation to change the plate that's securing the broken bone in [his] forearm." The team hopes this will be his final surgery before recovery. For those unfamiliar with Gronk's situation, he may need an additional fifth surgery if the infection in his arm has not been completely flushed out. That scenario would jeopardize his ability to participate in the start of the season. If the infection is gone, they can remove the plate and he can begin his final recovery period.
Fantasy Analysis:
This surgical dilemma has lingered for quite awhile. It certainly does not seem as though, given the lack of positive news, that it will turn out how many Patriots fans have hoped. Complications and extra surgeries are an unwelcomed problem, even for a role player. Fantasy owners should be cognizant of Gronkowski's persistent injury issues and concerns before committing a second or third round pick on him. According to Fantasy Football Calculator's average draft position estimates, Gronk's ADP has fallen a full round in the last month dropping from 2.08 to 3.09 in a 12-team standard league.

coyote that is a swell ROTJ!
The mid-ohio con this year 2008 is in October - 25 and 26 I think. IT's in Columbus - at the convention center. (at least it was last year) It is a good show. I had a table set up for the release of our comic book (shattered Glass Comics). I got a great shot of someone in a fett suit with Zena who was with us. Great show and I'm going to be there with our table AND my new Fett Costume.
Last edited by AncientFett; Mar 10, 2008 at 8:40 AM.
So you're saying they found someone to take over the con? Might I ask your source? Plus did you mean, 25-26?
Last edited by Satxer; Mar 10, 2008 at 8:22 AM.
Yeah, 25 and 26. (wasn't looking at a calander) I got an email from them about a month ago announcing when it was. Like a dope, I deleted it.
Roger Price, the owner of the production company that runs the con, has retired and is selling it off. No one, as of yet, has bought it. I spoke with my contact about 2 weeks ago on what the outlook was for the con this year and he said it didnt look good. I havent heard those dates from him yet but can check again.
I really would like it to still happen.
oooopppps! My Bad!
The Fett is me. I don't remember getting the pic taken, but you can tell Zena that Boba said she is a cutie.
she's single too....
when theres one near detroit can some one tell me
Good news
They have a new promoter, and was moved up to Oct 4-5.

that was G O O D!
I tryed cooking widgon by marinating it and dipping it in flour like fried chiken... didn't really work out
So secound try, marinated the teal and spoonie in soy souce, fresh choped onion, garlic, salt, peper, a little water, chilie powder, paprica, and squized a lime in to. Accidently marinated the ducks for 3 days because I forgot about them. Wraped them in bacon and BAM!
I tryed the teal and it was good. Before trying the spoonie after reading all the threads about it being bad, ill admit it I was little scared. So I decided to give my sister a piece of teal and than a piece of spoonie with out telling her a spoonies reputation. Guess what she liked more? SPOONIE! She said it had more flavor. Than I tryed it and it tasted the same as teal except a little more liver like. Dad tryed both and said that the spoonie was liver, he wouldn't believe it was breast.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|It totally depends on the boat and rig. On a fractional rig, I wouldn't as the headstay is not balanced by the backstay. On a masthead rig, it depends on the boat. My Cape Dory sails upwind, downwind, whatever with just the jib. It points just as well and never has lee helm if the wind is strong enough to move the hull. My boat is a Cape Dory 25D. Full keel, narrow beam, slack bilges. And it loves to sail with the rail in the water....Just ask the two Catalina 30's that I outran last week UP WIND using just my 130 genoa. Winds were 20-25 sustained gusts to whatever. My rail was right off the water the entire time. Everytime a gust would hit my rail would go under and I'd point up a few degrees. The catalinas, on the other hand, rather than bury their lee rail would lift their windward rail and slow. 6.4 kts with just the headsail on a beam reach. Not too bad for a boat with a static waterline of 19 feet!

|Thanks, did you check the pictures of Paloma when we limped back into Puerto Isabella? The biggest surprise was when we got within radio range we raised the CG on the radio and they said that Air Coast Guard Corpus Christi had been looking for us for two days, as on we were reported overdue at Freeport on 3/5/08. They said call CG Corpus and gave me their phone number. I called them on my cell phone and the first thing the LT I spoke with asked if we were from the boat that the helicopter came to and I said no. When she looked in her log and realized which boat we were, she asked if we had an EPIRB and when I told her yes, she asked why we hadn't activated it. I explained to her that we weren't in distress and had no reason to activate an SOS - she still thought we should have activated it. Oh well!
|Nice story, and well played.

Three of us, all seasoned sailors, sailed out around the bottom of South Padre Island (just North of the Rio Grande and the Mexican border) Thursday in the perfect sailing weather - we were in shorts and polos shirts, on a broad reach in 15 knot SSE winds, beautiful 5-7 foot seas and 70 degree weather - the only thing missing was the Jimmy Buffett tapes.
Later in the day we got a weather report, small craft immediately make for port, there was a Northerly cold front (the one that dumped all the snow in mid-west mid-week)moving our way at 35 miles per hour with winds 50-60, gusting higher, seas quickly building to over 20 feet. Paloma is a not a small craft, but a second-generation Bristol built and equiped to go anywhere in any weather, and since the weather report was coming from Coast Guard South Padre Island, we thought we could head more Easterly and possibly get on the other side of the brunt of the storm. No such luck, around 6:30pm we got hit full force by the front, coming like a freight train. It slammed us down to port lights in the water before we rounded up into the wind and could start the engine and start dropping sail. On the initial hit, it tore the main and we lost a cotterpin on the port upper stay and we couldn't haul the main more than about 3/4 of the way down and as bad luck would have it, a jib sheet got of control and went under the boat, tangling in the prop, stopping the engine. Now comes the decisions, not in the "game plan".
We made the only possible decision, to turn South and run bare poles before the storm. From the point we turned, about 35-40 miles NE of the Rio Grande, we screamed down wind in what we thought were 18- 20 foot following seas (later the Coast Guard told us they were closer to 30 feet) and winds 50-60 and gusting over 60 ( a Force 10 storm, precisely as promised by the Coast Guard) for 36 hours. The stern and bimini were plenty of sail and it was a wild ride being pushed along by the seas, hitting over 10mph (from the GPS) when sliding down the face of the seas. It was a strain to keep Paloma tracking so we couldn't stay on the helm more than an hour at a time and we knew if we turned beam to the wind, we would broach. When you went below for one-hour rest, you could only nap on the cabin sole - even that was comfortable after two hours in the cockpit. The winds were cold, but on the occasions that a wave broke into the cockpit, the water was warm - we couldn't figure why the warm Gulf waters didn't abate the storm sooner - actually we just kept wondering if we were going to end up in Vera Cruz.
When the winds finally abated and shifted back to SE, we were about 135 miles down and about 70 miles off the Mexican coastline - we had been blown 180 miles off our original rhumb line, no engine and only a 110 working jib. During the short calm of the wind shift, we untangled the line around the prop, by starting the engine in neutral then putting the engine in reverse and pulling like crazy on the line trying to unwind it - after two tries, thank goodness it worked, so we now had a working jib and an engine (if we needed it) - not a bad combination to turn and run north in what ended up being a bit more comfortable 15-20 knot SE winds and 8-10 foot seas - still a chore to keep her on track with only a small jib and making hull speed and better when shoved by the following seas, easily manageable.
The closest US landfall was South Padre Island about 135 miles NNW and by mid-day Sunday we were in sight of the buildings on the island.

The rather artistic PCA below shows genetic clines that run through West Eurasia. It basically suggests that Europe and the Caucasus were populated by similar populations from the Near East, but didn't mix much after that. There appears to be some Russian influence among a few samples from the Caucasus, but no significant admixture from the Caucasus in Ukraine or Russia.
The Caucasus, inhabited by modern humans since the Early Upper Paleolithic and known for its linguistic diversity, is considered to be important for understanding human dispersals and genetic diversity in Eurasia. We report a synthesis of autosomal, Y chromosome and mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) variation in populations from all major subregions and linguistic phyla of the area. Autosomal genome variation in the Caucasus reveals significant genetic uniformity among its ethnically and linguistically diverse populations, and is consistent with predominantly Near/Middle Eastern origin of the Caucasians, with minor external impacts. In contrast to autosomal and mtDNA variation, signals of regional Y chromosome founder effects distinguish the eastern from western North Caucasians. Genetic discontinuity between the North Caucasus and the East European Plain contrasts with continuity through Anatolia and the Balkans, suggesting major routes of ancient gene flows and admixture.

With our Flexible Program You Can Tailor Your MBA Studies
Interview with Robert L. Joss
An interview with Robert L. Joss
Dean, Stanford Graduate School of Business
What are the characteristics of your MBA program and what sets your program apart from other MBA programs?
Stanford''s difference is the quality of the people attracted to the school - both the faculty and the students - and the experience that they have during their time here. We develop leaders through a general management education and deliver this education in an intimate and collaborative community. Our general management program also places an emphasis on interdisciplinary learning. We have approximately 100 pre-eminent faculty who are leaders in their fields, including three Nobel Prize winners since 1990. Our location and reputation enable us to bring the most successful business and social sector leaders into the classroom to share their experiences with students.
How do you select your participants?
Each year, we enrol approximately 370 students who have unique combinations of high leadership potential, academic excellence and individual experiences and perspectives. What the admitted candidates have in common is the ability to benefit from -- and contribute to -- the GSB community. MBA Admissions evaluates all applicants in three areas:
- Demonstrated Leadership Potential: We are interested in who you are as a person and in how the combination of your personal qualities and experiences has produced your leadership aspirations.
- Strong Academic Aptitude: Because the MBA Program is rigorous and challenging, students must possess a solid academic foundation.
- Diversity Among Students: We believe collaboration leverages students diverse backgrounds to deliver a range of approa- ches to real-world management challenges.
Stanford students are accepted based on a comprehensive review of their qualifications instead of minimum performance standards. For example:
- We do not have minimum GPA requirements
- We do not have minimum GMAT scores
- We do not require a minimum level of work experience
- We do not have preferred fields of study or work experience
Could you describe the structure of your program?
The Stanford GSB offers a two-year MBA program with three quarters of study each year -- a total of six quarters of study. The program is divided into two parts: the core, which is taken in your first year, and electives, which are taken primarily in your second year. In addition, each fall the entering class begins with pre-term, an academic cornerstone program. Because we believe in a general management perspective, Stanford MBA students do not major in specific academic disciplines. You are free to pursue areas of interest that help you grow professionally, intellectually and personally. For example, you can emphasize global management, public management or any of the general management disciplines -- among other options. Alternatively, you can broaden your perspective by taking classes on a range of topics.
What types of firms employ your graduates?
The organizations that hire our graduates hail from a broad range of industries from consulting, banking, technology and venture capital, to consumer products, entertainment and manufacturing. Many students find their next career move through traditional on-campus recruiting while others find that a tailored search is more appropriate--and this is where our tight-knit alumni community is especially effective. With the highest ratio of career services staff to students among our peer schools, we provide individualized attention and support to help students determine how to make a difference in the world through their career.
About Robert Joss

Following that, he became CEO of Westpac Banking Corporation, a major Australian bank. Prior to his banking career, he also served as Deputy Assistant Secretary for Economic Policy at the U.S. Department of the Treasure. He earned his MBA and PhD at Stanford.

I know you got a ton of recipes, got any for duck or goose chili?
I have substituted beef and sausage with goose and venny sausage, but kept the rest the same. It was great but couldn't really tell it was goose, tasted just about identical. Got any recipes to really bring it out?

Thank You Very Kindly
Another idea is you could try to organize an event in Milwaukee, if it is hard for you travel. You could invite a teacher that is not too far.. like Lama Dawa Chhodak in Lansing Iowa http://www.lamadawa.com/ or as someone mentioned, Young Kachab Rinpoche in Madison. If you networked with the local college kids you met and some other people interested, you could get a group and hopefully a location. Just a thought!

Ideally i would like to trade for a trunk with a limited lip but those are pretty rare so i will settle for a wingless one. My trunk is in excellent condition and yours must be as well. I'm in san diego, CA. Email me at email@example.com if you have a trunk to trade. Oh and I deleted my "subaru" emblem and blacked out the "wrx" emblem and the trunk key.

Fan Photo with Our Pattern Blocks!
August 2, 2010 at 10:18 am melissaanddoug Leave a comment
From time to time our fans twitter or email us great photos of their littles ones with our toys! We absolutely love these photos and thought we'd share one with you today.
This adorable little one is proud of the boat he just made with our Pattern Blocks. With 120 brightly colored wooden shapes, using our provided patterns or making a design all your own, our pattern blocks are great fun for children.
Pattern blocks can be used in a number of ways for extended play. Here are just a few ideas:
- Create a series of blocks in a row that make a pattern. Ask the child if they can recreate the same series. You can make this easier or harder by using only 2 or 3 blocks vs. using 5 or more blocks.
- Ask your child to sort the pattern blocks by color. Can he/she name the colors? How many shapes can he/she name?
- Ask your child to make a unique design without using the patterns provided!
Have another way to play with pattern blocks? Let us know by commenting!
If you have a photo of your child playing with a Melissa & Doug toy and you'd like to share it with us – and all of our blog readers – please send it to our twitter account @MelissaAndDoug or email it to us at firstname.lastname@example.com with the subject "Photo for Your Blog."
We're looking forward to hearing from you and seeing some great pics!

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by Stuckey.And1, Feb 6, 2009.
Phx may know something we don't.
Amar'e not fit for the East? Almost all the centers in the East couldn't shine Amar'e shoes. Cavs - Big Z Celtics - KG makes Perkins better Magic - Dwight is beast Hawks - Horford Pistons - Sheed Heat - Jamaal Magloire i think? Philly - Sammy D Nets - Brook Lopez Bucks - Andrew Bogut Bulls - Noah......LMAO. Knicks - David Lee Pacers - Foster Bobcats - Okafor Raptors - Andrea Bargnani Wizards - Haywood Amar'e at C was able to hold his own against the West, he can do it in the East as well. Amar'e and Amir? WOAH
I would love to see a Amare & Sheed back court.
Takes luck, plus panicky owners and former ex-players (as GMs) helping out their former teams. Just got no love from Isiah.
Sheed would make Amare better and vice versa (though not as much). But, hard to keep Sheed in that deal.
Sheed resigns this off season?
It really makes you wonder about some of the people running these teams if a deal between DET & PHX doesn't go down. I don't see how the Suns can pass on a 5 tool player like Amir Johnson if they're going to trade Stoudamire. I'm not sure I like this deal from DET's perspective as Amare is on the way down while AJ is clearly on the way up.
Give them the press clipps on how Amir would have been a top 3 pick and how is going to be a future all-star.
Beginning to wonder if Ernie is related to Amir Will buy season tickets if Amare is in a Pistons uniform.
Ernie is related to John Havlicek (Hondo).
I swear if somehow we do get Amare for Sheed and Amir we better not be walking the ball up the court every possesion...
Haha... you know we will though.
For the record Bosh is a better fit. Better defender, better playmaker... If we really can swing a 3 way deal I will be so psyched.
Not sure why people think this guy is a center. I'd be much more comfortable with him at the 4.
He played Center in PHX with Shawn Marion at the 4 and had those big numbers everyone wants. He now plays the 4 with a true Center/5 and his numbers sucks now. Amar'e is better 5.
I'm with you. The PHX Suns ran like crazy people and were out rebounded practically every game. They couldn't cut it in the PO's with Amare at center, and before resorted to having to play Kurt Thomas next to Amare. To think that he will be an effective half-court center in a grind it out conference is a reach at best. He's even talked about how much he dislikes playing the 5. And how h was so excited to go back to the 4 when Shaq came.
amare/Kwame back court
Who said anything about him playing a 5? Europe is full of 5s. Build a team around particular role players who bring energy full time, commitment in doing so and don't look so cool (with briefcase in hand) wearing $2000 sunglasses. Media, is anyone home?
Kwame...there is no want...no passion. Give me someone who beats up on himself and I can work with him. And this forum has the guts to knock someone like AI?...he's lunch-bucket heaven and the fans know it.
IF we land Amare, or even Bosh, we cannot continue to walk the ball up the court every possession anymore. Those players thrive in an uptempo setting. Same goes for pretty much all our young players (Stuckey, Amir, AA, Max), even AI, and I'm sure that bunch would be a lot more fun to watch than the current team. Of course, if we keep Curry, all this would be moot since his "game plan" revolves around playing guys out of position and not playing to their strengths.
Separate names with a comma.

I build beautiful, search engine friendly websites that bring in money for my clients.
I do both design and development work in house - very few Web professionals today can
lay claim to a high degree of professionalism in both of these fields. This enables me
to maintain the focus on both the business and aesthetic aspects of clients' websites.
Nothing is outsourced.
From the most basic website to advanced online applications, I can take your business'
online presence and strategy to the next level. Today, mobile has emerged as the
number one source of Web traffic over dektop PC's and it is becoming more important
than ever to start with your mobile site.
Learn more about my services, or
contact me to discuss your project.
[First published in the Yuba-Sutter Community Magazine] Whether you're a plumber, a baker or a gardener, if you have a business, you need a website. Period. Do not presume that your product or service cannot be sold online or that only large businesses warrant having an online presence. We have long since moved beyond the bricks and mortar concept of the small business. We are almost twenty years into the Internet age and the rate of technological progress is accelerating.
To be literate today means to be able to read, write and have basic computer skills. Most people reach for their mobile device first to search for products and services rather than drag out the Yellow Pages. So not having a Web presence is like not having a telephone, and Google is the new mobile phone directory. It's really that simple.
So how do you go about getting a website? Who does such work: a Web Designer, a Web Developer? For me as a Developer/Designer, this is the hardest thing to explain to clients. The real answer is that you need both and most unqualified Web Designers have no understanding of the functional needs of even the simplest website; the converse is also true, most developers have little visual design knowledge. A true "Web Professional" will have both designers and developers on staff, because if they haven't, it means they are outsourcing half the work and this invariably leads to a failed website. Suffice to say, you do not ask your 14-year-old kid to do it for you, even if your business is your hobby.
Websites grow over time, just like businesses and have to be designed from the ground up with this reality in mind. This one fact necessitates the use of a strong foundation to build upon; in technical terms, a solid, proven framework for programming the business functionality into the website. It is common to call this a Web application, which is a more complex version of a static website. Even a routine contact form involves programming and testing. If a Web Designer tries to sell you on the idea of displaying your email address on a page and calling it a contact form, then don't be surprised when your email inbox overflows with spam. The reason for this is that spammers glean these email addresses using automated software. Hackers like to collect them as well.
Unfortunately for the small business person, there are a lot of fly-by-night "Web People" out there and it behooves the client to shop around and ask the right questions; a case of caveat emptor, or buyer beware. Before looking for someone to design and build your site, you absolutely have to pre-prepare the content yourself or with the assistance of a good content writer. The success of your website is largely dependent on the quality and relevance of your content. So too is SEO (Search Engine Optimization) and that is a skill in and of itself. Your content needs to be written with this in mind, therefore your content writer needs to understand SEO thoroughly. You can have the best looking website in the world but it's of little use if people can't find it.
One word of caution: when it comes to SEO, there are even more snake oil salesmen than "Web People". Go to a professional and don't be afraid to ask them about their qualifications. It's your buck. Unfortunately, the Web industry is still a young one and there are many trying to make their name in it. This does not mean they all produce quality results. Would you hire an apprentice electrician to wire your home, or an unqualified doctor to care for your family? Right now, anyone can set up and call himself a Web Designer and have no need for a license to ply their trade. A lot of the clients I meet for the first time have been already burned and are understandably wary.
So when you go to meet somebody to build your site, do not commit until you have had a chance to shop around. Let them make their pitch, gather your business requirements and draft a proposal for you, in writing. More importantly, ask to see samples of their work. Be sure to get the actual URLs (website addresses) of their past work so that someone more knowledgeable can look them over later. It's quite common for unscrupulous designers to show screen shots of work that is not their own, or not a complete functioning website.
It's actually better to have no website at all than to have one that makes your business look bad.

I know how much power he's making. That's 2500lbs with car and driver (2400lbs if not running nitrous on top of the turbo). Some of that weight will be made up in the cage, my 220lb self, and plus full fuel cell. If need be, I can add equal weights to the chassis directly over the front wheels (use it to my advantage). I don't want to try and beat Chris Miller cause that is a damn near impossible task. I was actually parked in the adjacent lot from him at the Import vs Domestic WCF at MIR last month and that car is redonkeylous! I just want to make the quick 16 in Wild Street. Stripping weight from the car in certain areas means I can add weight where I'd need it. 800whp should get me in the later 8 of the field which is good enough for me. I've only seen one domestic sport compact in that field and that was a Cobalt that got put out in the first round.
Very good info on the link. Thanks!
Still keep in mind that this is still 3-5 years or more away so much researching is still to be done.
|Top Speed
Also, Chris Miller is making 1200+WHP.
I'd love to see a focus beat Chris Miller, but you are going to need more than a GT3582R to make that kind of power. Even if you got your car sub 2000lbs you would not be able to run against him in the class he runs because outlaw FWD min weight is 2500lbs.
If you are wondering what Focus parts weigh, check this out.
|i agree man...my SVT focus handles better then any other stock, front wheel drive car
how fast is your 800 whp 1900 lb focus going to be?

|i folded a sheet of 3/16 lexan in half and jumped on it and it sprung back and knocked me on my ass. if it will do anything it will bend and thats it and it wont happen from being used as windows or a roof. you really have to bend it
|plexi-glass is not very suitable for that. its too flimsy, it would have to be too thick to withstand the wind/flex. go with lexan, i used to run a router table with both materials so i have firsthand expeerience
|I haven't weighed the car but if I had to guess, around 2250 without me in it. I have no A/C, interior is gutted, no headliner, no noise dampening, no carpeting, no paneling, no speakers or radio (when racing), the works. I have that thing as light as can be without getting into the chassis. Next I will be replacing those heavy ass bumper supports with a single 5lb aluminum bar on front and back. That should knock a good 40-50lbs off on it's own. Those crash supports are really f'ing heavy. I'm going tubular on the control arms so saving a couple pounds there while making it stronger. Once I make it track only, that heavy gas tank won't be needed so I will be dropping it and replacing it with a single 5 gallon tank in the spare tire well. I will be removing the heater core and all ducting in the dash. If the car doesn't need it to go through the 1/4 mile, it's coming out. I will replace the radio space with a custom made gauge panel. The A members will be removed and replaced with the runners for the 10 point cage. I will remove the entire power steering system and put a bolt in the steering rack. I don't need power steering to go straight ahead and that will save me a good bit of spun weight and less stuff to go wrong. I'd hate to have to end a race event cause I got PS fluid on the track from a blown hose. The radiator will be replaced with a small single core and manually switched fan. I will cut a good portion of the roof completely out and replace it with plexi-glass. All windows will be replaced with plexi-glass. The hood will be painted carbon fiber with the vent to ram the air into the turbo. Plus a good bit of other stuff. This will be after I drop the built 2.3L in next winter. I'm having my turbo manifold custom built cause I want the turbo (going with a GT3582R) to sit where the battery on the 05-07 sits currently (relocating battery to the rear). I could then cut the hood right above the driver side headlight and do some modifying to force the air right into the turbo. Nothing like looking at a car from the front and having a big turbo stare back at you. My goals with a built 2.3L is 640-660whp on C16 and 30psi from a GT3582R and 830-850whp on C16 with 30psi + a 200 shot. Driveshaft shop forged axles, built transmission, solid motor mounts, the works. Chris Miller will have some competition.
|Damn you guys i need to gut my shit and take out AC and power steering and all the unnecasary stuff. ill do that when the new focus comes out so i can have a DD. and ya i deff need a wider slick but the 8s will get me a 1.7 consistant and with me making 4X what the tranny is suppose to hold im pretty sketchy about launching any harder
