By now we have all seen it. On Tuesday night, New York Ranger Marc Staal took a deflected clapper from Philadelphia Flyer Kimmo Timonen right in the eye resulting in a rather gruesome, a very scary injury. (See video below if you can stomach it)
It's time something was done to end these senseless injuries, and I have an idea that just might work.
Late yesterday the Rangers tweeted out that the swelling around Marc's eye has gone down and he is expected to make a full recovery. Before that though, it was anybody's guess as to the extent of the damage. Let's just say he probably got off very lucky.
Nonetheless, it has reopened a debate (that has really been hovering around the league for a few years now) regarding players in the NHL wearing visors. Players of almost every other league in North America must wear facial protection, from minor hockey to kids all the way up to the American Hockey League, yet the NHL has not taken the step towards making it mandatory for players to do so.
Something needs to be done.
Now before you start jumping all over me claiming this was a "freak accident", let me provide you with some examples of players who have been significantly affected by such an injury:
Manny Malhotra:
Malhotra was stuck in the eye with a puck on March 16th of 2011 while with the Canucks and immediately underwent eye surgery in an attempt to save his vision. Although he returned for the Stanley Cup Finals that year and returned for the 2011-2012 season, head coach Alain Vigneault commented throughout the season that he wasn't the same player he was before the injury. This year, in fear of Manny's long term health, Canucks GM Mike Gillis has removed him from the team, and will not let him play a game for the Canucks again.
Chris Pronger:
Pronger took a stick to the eye on October 24th, 2011 that had him leaving the ice screaming in agony. He later suffered a concussion that season that seems to have ended his career. He was quoted on cbcsports.ca as saying that he lost a good portion of his peripheral vision due to that injury, and it took away what was a vital part of his game.
Ian Laperriere:
Laperriere, also of the Philadelphia Flyers, was hit just above the eye by a slap shot in the 2010 Eastern Conference quarterfinal against the Devils. That shot cause him to suffer a concussion along with nerve damage to his eye, which forced him to retire.
Now, I understand that visors are not going to stop everything. Yes, there is still a huge gap below the visor and yes, sticks can still get in there. But they are better than nothing. They provide some sort of barrier from sticks, pucks, broken sticks, skate blades, everything. I can also understand that hockey players, and many athletes, are creatures of habit. Making those who have played their entire careers without visors suddenly wear them, although good for their safety, isn't fair. That being said, there is a point at which we need to protect players from themselves. In a league dominated by young men, looking good may take precedence over long term health and safety, and they are prone to make choices they may regret.
There is also a point at which owners and GM's become concerned about the financial toll that may be taken due to some of these injuries. An injured player is still going to be paid by the team or see their insurance costs rise. Imagine if a player such as Evander Kane (who does wear a visor, but just to make my point) went down long term because he took a puck in the eye. Or if he wasn't wearing a helmet in practice or warm-up, and had a Taylor Hall-esque experience? Or Shea Weber in Nashville, who doesn't wear a visor? The team would still be 100% responsible for paying that players contract, which could seriously hamper their ability to go out and find a replacement until said player could return.
What about those teams that are close to the Salary Cap? According to CapGeek.com, a player placed on long-term injury reserve (LTIR) does not automatically allow for salary cap relief. The amount of relief available to a team is only that which would cover the dollar amount that the injured players contract would push the team over the cap.
What Can Be Done?
Now I am not going to claim to be a master of the CBA, nor am I going to say this is the best solution out there. I don't think simply forcing players to wear and play with things they are not comfortable with is the solution, but I do think this could work.
Make the players financially responsible.
Simply put, if you decide to not protect yourself and get hurt, you are not getting paid. I know this is something that the players would probably never go for, but I'd consider myself an innovative thinker; so hear me out nonetheless. Players have all sorts of protective equipment available to them. (Visors, helmets, Kevlar socks, etc.) Should a player wearing all of this equipment suffer an eye injury, a cut due to a skate, a concussion, (practically any injury that this equipment is meant to protect from) then things progress as they do now. The player gets paid, the finances remain as they are, etc.
Should a player choose NOT to wear this equipment and an injury that could have been prevented by said equipment occur, the player doesn't get paid. They are "off the books" in other words, until they return from that injury. Therefore, if a player isn't wearing his helmet in warmup and gets his head stepped on, (Taylor Hall) the team does not have to pay his contract to him for the duration of time he is injured. His contract doesn't count against the cap until he returns, thus opening up some cap space if the injury ends a season, and maybe the player learns better. If a player chooses to not wear a visor and takes a puck in the eye, same deal. Should a fighter choose to take off his helmet for a fight, and cracks his skull on the ice? Same thing.
I'm sure it's not a perfect idea, and I understand that the NHLPA would probably never go for it. (Especially considering that a guy like Erik Karlsson wouldn't be getting paid right now.) Yet I feel like it would be a strong incentive, and get more agents, family, and other players pushing NHL stars to start taking more precautions toward protecting themselves. It would give teams more financial flexibility for situations they otherwise can't protect against, and heck, it might even curb some of those unnecessary staged fights from happening.
That's my idea, and I would love to hear what you all think. Any additions you would make? More specifications? Hate the idea altogether? Sign up, login, and comment because I would love to hear what you have to say!

Hello fellow fans,
I don't often post but I do spend a fair chunk of my time checking the boards. I'm teaching a freshman composition course but the curriculum I've been given is not very traditional. Anyways, I have to do the projects a bit before the students and I want to use the Org as the "discourse community" I examine. I try to work my love for pop culture, which in my field I treat as modern mythology, into all of my endeavors. For instance, when I was able to design my own curriculum I had my students do reviews of basically anything they wanted to. I showed them Pixel Dan's review of Battle Cat as an example. I also do themed PowerPoint presentations. Tomorrow I'll use Star Trek TNG to discuss the ethnography project, having students liken themselves to Data in their search for humanity by understanding the diverse groups that compose the world around them. I digress. I'd really be appreciative of any input anyone wants to offer. I will need to quote your feedback in the paper and I'd use your poster name unless otherwise directed.
Here's some of the info I need to get from the prompt:
Interview at least one member of the discourse community. Record and transcribe the interview. You might ask things like, How long have you been here? Why are you involved? What type of documents do you regularly produce? What rules for communication are members of your community expected to adhere to? What do you consider most important in good writing or good communication? What do X, Y, and Z words mean? How did you learn to write A, B, or C?
If this is fruitful I may mine the forums more when time comes for me to do my dissertation. I'm very serious about the usefulness of these properties in understanding our modern mythology and I hope to make a career of making people aware of the richness of our community and our plastic mythos.
As a sign of my participation, I've posted pictures of my collection in the MOTUC forum.
Thanks in advance. - Deadpool-Man

It seems that every Fall, there are a handful of items that insiders identify quickly as the must-haves of the season. These have extraordinary quality, universal appeal, and are typically limited edition. Yves Saint Laurent's Couture Leather Fetiche (Leather Fetish) 5-color eyeshadow palette ($60) is one of those items for Fall 2014. As I write this, the palette is available at Nordstrom, Bloomingdales, Yves Saint Laurent online, and Neiman Marcus. I had ordered mine from Saks Fifth Avenue, but it appears to have sold out there. I'm sounding the beauty alarm on this one–do not wait.
I had just cued up some pictures of Yves Saint Laurent's new couture line of eyeshadow palettes when this one arrived. Given the ephemeral nature of limited edition products, I'm moving this one earlier. To summarize that review (which will appear later), YSL has appeared to have decided to amp up the quality of nearly everything. Good for us all–innovation in the beauty space seems have moved over the past few years from new formulations of lipsticks, mascaras, foundations (this is still very much happening), and now I am seeing a wave of reformulated eyeshadows that is truly extraordinary. This YSL Couture Leather Fetiche is a "best in class" for that category.
The design evokes YSL's fashion inspiration drawn from Piet Mondrian.
Every shade here is a winner–buttery, pigmented, blendable, gorgeous. The highlight and carmel shade on the right are extremely flattering shades. The deeper browns work beautifully worked into the lashline or smudged into the crease. The blue is an extraordinary and rare shade (echoed in this leather-textured Bleu Galuchat nail polish) that is inky, edgy and interesting (and also draws the palette into the universal "works on cool skin tones too" territory).
Overall, the Yves Saint Laurent Leather Fetiche palette is one of the must-haves of the upcoming Fall '14 season. The palette is available at Nordstrom, Bloomingdales, Yves Saint Laurent online, and Neiman Marcus. I had ordered mine from Saks Fifth Avenue, but it appears to have sold out there. If it sells out soon, I'm very sorry!

What EU characters are going into the Clone Wars? Are you referring to Bossk? I guess I don't see the problem here. I'd rather they build off known, popular EU characters from that time frame than just generating a host of brand new characters we've never heard of despite their pivotal roles (like Ahsoka).
Too bad they couldn't have given that lightsaber to the new ROTS Agen Kolar.
Wow, so Hasbro just answered the recent Q/As and...Dang, it looks like TLC Wave 13 (EU) is gonna be the entirely last wave of Legacy (from what Hasbro is hinting at). What's next? From what Hasbro said, Wave 13 should hit around Febuary ... does that mean that whatever line is next will hit around the summer? Honestly, I wish that TLC would be able to continue, but, here goes nothing...
I'm sure there will be some kind of basic line. I don't really care if they rename the line to something else, but I sure hope they keep similar packaging. These current cards are much better than the rounded off bubbles they had prior.
Which Q&A said that?
QUESTION: I'm wondering if you could give us an idea of how you will be handling future EU figure releases. As you have indicated, the comic pack line is not selling as well as it once was and may not continue beyond 2010. Would all EU characters need to find their way into a coveted slot in an EU wave in the basic line, or are there other possibilities that you could see working to keep a steady flow of all new EU figures in the mix? As you know, there are still many prominent characters out there that have not been honored with a figure, like Zayne Carrick & Marn "Gryph" Hierogryph (KOTOR), Finn Galfridian and Jedi Master Luke Skywalker (Invasion), Dass Jennir (Dark Times), and Celeste Morne (Vector). Most of these are still at the height of their popularity. Without comic packs, would these characters become long shots to ever be included in the basic line, or do you think you could find a way to fit them in somewhere else?ANSWER: We can confirm that the Comic Pack, as a mainline SKU, will not continue past Spring 2010 at this point. There are select Comic Packs slated for exclusives, though, so the format is not completely dead. Beyond the Comic Packs, occasional exclusives are the only hope for EU figures until they find their way back into the mainline. After the last wave of Legacy/Droid Factory, set for approximately February, there are no more EU figures slotted for the mainline basic figure wave until Fall 2011, at the earliest. It will be a bit of dry spell while we focus on the films for a while, but there will be some excellent exclusives coming out (like the Toys 'R Us The Force Unleashed packs) that should held cover the gap. Some of the characters you mention, like Zayne, do stand a chance of coming out someday. Others, like Celeste Mourne, are unlikely ever to get made without a comic book to go with them. Hopefully Finn (and the rest of the new Jedi Order) are around for when we do get a chance to either relaunch Comic Packs or add more focus to the EU.

Lord of the rings online
Yesterday WoneK continued her adventures…and I felt I was rediscoovering the game again. First of all – cancelled all epic quests, I was not interested in same "escort Sarah to safety", "exterminate evil crows" and alike. Even cancelled "Blade of Renown" – did not want to run forward and backward, then back to Ogurr.
What I did were simple slayer deeds. Finished with Brigand slayer (advanced). Then protected Hobbit from incoming 3 waves of attackers. And finally, did Orc slayer and Orc slayer (advanced) deeds. This was fun. I was lvl.18, they were lvl.19 and I killed them with ease. Looted some weapons and armour, felt almost invicible. I remember how it was stresfull for NaktiesKarys to fight there…and how easy it is now. Just look at looted stuff characteristic, do not hesitate to throw old things away and use all power/morale potions you have. And I was victorious, fighting 5 orcs at once, using all my AoE attacks, standing triumphant over bodies of my enemies.
After finishing easy Orc-killing, went to Buckland, did some easy quests there…and now to Adso's camp. Will stay there to do some things, just avoiding Old Forest and Barrows: I still need easy TPs.
Was happy enough to help lvl.10 Champion to kill brigands near Staddle and neekers near Andrath lake. Brigands were easy prey for my ranged and AoE attacks. Neekers were a bit harder, but still easy. Lvl.10 champion was in some superpower mode, using probably 20 foods/potions that gave her very impressive power. Soon, brigands and neekers were slain, I could go to adventure myself.
Was satisfied with my ranged attack (at lvl.18 I could finally use a bow) and heavy armour (that's at lvl.20). Also, game dropped some bounder tokens which my main toon may use to purchase summon horns. What happenhs to bounder tokens after November 18 – only Turbine knows.
Was approached by one Kinship, I told them my main were in Edhel Annon, and recruiter told "it's not a problem, we are here to make friends and do not mind". Well…my kinship does mind and I wish recruiters would respect this…
And so the day has ended. I have done all easy deeds in Bree land, have 814 Turbine points and some 25 bounder tokens. The day was superb in Lotro.

Our good friend Tom Dermody, editor in chief of The Catholic Post in Peoria, Ill., earlier composed a musical tribute to Randy Pausch, the Carnegie Mellon professor whose "Last Lecture" nearly a year ago captivated the nation. Now that Pausch has died, Tom posted the tribute on YouTube:
This isn't Tom's first foray into public musicianship. In 2003 his song of prayer for U.S. troops deployed in Iraq became a local favorite in Peoria. In 1997 a collection of 10 songs written by Tom and performed by Professional Bowlers Association tour winner Randy Pedersen and some of central Illinois' best country musicians was released in an album called "Bowl Me Over."
And none of us here at CNS can forget Tom's tribute to the news service at the annual Catholic press convention in 1995, when CNS celebrated its 75th anniversary. The convention was in Los Angeles that year and, given its proximity to Disneyland and Hollywood, Tom decide to rewrite the lyrics to "Be Our Guest" from "Beauty and the Beast" into a song simply titled "CNS." Unfortunately — or maybe fortunately — there is no footage of that song available on YouTube.
(Hat tip to Anne Marie Amacher at The Catholic Messenger in the neighboring Diocese of Davenport, Iowa, for the alert!)

Sette Bello Broccoli Soup
SOUP/APPETIZER Sette Bello Cream of Broccoli Soup This is a wonderfully light but rich tasting soup. We guarantee even those who are not broccoli fans will enjoy the flavor and texture. Try garnishing each serving with a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil and a sprinkling of parmesan cheese. • 1 / 2 pound (2 sticks) unsalted butter, divided • 1 small onion, cut into small pieces • 5 medium garlic cloves, quartered • 8 cups firm-packed small-cut fresh broccoli florets • 1 large bay leaf • 2 quarts hot water (8 cups) • 5 teaspoons Better Than Bouillon Chicken Base • 1 cup whole milk • 1 / 2 cup heavy cream • 3 tablespoons all- purpose flour • Salt and fresh-ground black pepper, to taste Set aside 3 tablespoons butter. Place the rest of the butter in a large saucepan (ours was 5 1 / 2 quarts) over medium heat. Saute the onions and garlic 5 to 7 minutes until soft, being careful not to let them brown. Add the broccoli and bay leaf; toss well to coat with butter. Stir in the water and chicken base, stirring to dissolve the base. Then stir in the milk. Bring the mixture to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer, partially covered, about 15 minutes or until the broccoli is very soft. Add the cream, bring to a simmer and cook 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool 15 or 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. With a large slotted ladle, move the solids to the work bowl of a food processor fitted with the metal blade or a good blender and process or blend until pureed. (You may have to do this in batches.) Transfer the pureed mixture to a bowl until all has been processed or blended. Stir the pureed mixture back into the liquid remaining in the saucepan. Place over medium heat and return to a slow simmer, stirring. Meanwhile, make a roux by melting the reserved 3 tablespoons butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the flour. Let the mixture bubble about 3 minutes to eliminate the raw taste of the flour. Slowly stir this roux into the simmering soup and cook the soup, partially covered, about 10 minutes until thickened, stirring occasionally. Makes about 11 cups. Per (1-cup) serving: 228 calories, 84 percent calories from fat, 21 grams total fat, 13 grams saturated fat, 62 milligrams cholesterol, 7 grams carbohydrates, 2 grams total fiber, 2 grams total sugars, 5 grams net carbs, 3 grams protein, 454 milligrams sodium.

landsLog4j - Initilization Requirement - posted by email@example.com Log4j issues message "Please initialize the log4j system properly". Log4j might want to request such initialization but it should nonetheless, perform a default init BasicConfigurator.configure (); and give the user the messages that he wanted to log without mandating.
Log4j - Documentation request - posted by email@example.com
Getting started with the simplest log4j setup requires three lines of code:
BasicConfigurator.configure(); Logger logger = Logger.getLogger( MyClass.class ); logger.debug( "your message here" );
There should be a quickstart page in the docs that says this. (Actually, I was quite annoyed at having to wade through the short manual and API docs to figure this out, when I was deciding whether or not I wanted to use log4j; I ranted about it on my blog here: http://javadave.blogspot.com/2006/04/setting-up-log4j.html)
Log4j - Logging as RSS or Atom - posted by email@example.com
Add a new appender that outputs RSS. This would support the aggregation of application events through existing RSS syndication and aggregation mechanisms A trivial variant could output Atom instead of RSS.
The concept of an XML Layout tool would seem a better way to approach this, but the current XMLLayout class uses a constrained XML vocabulary, so it can't be configured for general XML document production. So perhaps this should be realized by an RssLayout and AtomLayout class which would maintain the separation of concerns from the appender logic.
Log4J - AsyncAppender - posted by firstname.lastname@example.com Additional/optional parameter which defines a time (in seconds) to pause after subsequent waves of logEvents are released to the Appenders (and if not yet available specifiy the size of the circular buffer). In combination with an SMTPAppender this avoids to have mail flooding. Events can be grouped in mail messages. In my opinion only very small changes need to be done to the AsyncAppender like for ex.: Run method in inner class Dispatcher
public void run() { //Category cat = Category.getInstance(Dispatcher.class.getName()); LoggingEvent event; >> long lastCycle = 0L; while(true) { synchronized(bf) { if(bf.length() == 0) { // Exit loop if interrupted but only if the the buffer is empty. if(interrupted) { //cat.info("Exiting."); break; } try { //LogLog.debug("Waiting for new event to dispatch."); bf.wait(); // wait at least a given amount of time: waitMin. Interesting // if the appender are mail or messaging appenders // waitMin optional by configuration settings or 0 // would be usefull to test if buffer is full before waiting more time >> if((System.currentTimeMillis() - lastCycle)/1000 < waitMin) >> bf.wait(waitMin*1000 -(System.currentTimeMillis()-lastCycle); } catch(InterruptedException e) { LogLog.error("The dispatcher should not be interrupted."); break; } } ...more lines if(aai != null && event != null) { aai.appendLoopOnAppenders(event); } } >> lastCycle = System.currentTimeMillis(); } // while
Log4J - Requested Features
- Add an attribute to all appenders that specifies whether the stacktrace should be excluded in the log message.
- Add the customized filtering ability to the '.properties' config file (since today it exists only for the XML config file).
- Add the ability to truncate an attribute from its right side. Say we want to truncate the priority (have only the first left-most character). Non of the following meets our request: %1p / %-1p / %.1p / %-.1p / %-1.1p
- Add localization support. HERE HERE!
- Document log4j's support/behavior when used from multiple JVMs.
DailyRollingFileAppender should have an optinal parametr to limit the maximun number of rotated files ( i.e. MaxBackupIndex )
DailyRollingFileAppender should be able to put the datepattern as any part of the name, preferably by just using a date-pattern inside the File-property.
- Both (all) rolling appenders should be able to put rolled files in another directory.
Assign LogLevels to Appender rather than Logger. So it could be possible to log TRACES, DEBUG to console only, while other logs (WARNINGS and above) go to a file. The method Logger.isEnabled(LogLevel) (or similar, don't remember the correct call) would subsequently ask all appenders.
Add a pattern layout element that logs the hostname that the application is running on. YES! I agree! (Possibly using java.net.InetAddress.getLocalHost().getHostName(), or something similar) It's especially needed if you want multiple servers to log to a single place. -- Couldn't this be done in the current version by adding an MDC for the hostname and using it ( ... %X{HostName} ... ) in your pattern layouts? -- Check AppServerLoggingEvent. MDC is a pain if your app spawns threads, has MDBs etc. AppServerLoggingEvent means you extend lots of core Log4J classes and make ugly changes to your config.
- Add a pattern layout element that logs the username of the person who is logged into the application at the time of the logging event. -- Use NDC.
- Add a pattern layout element that logs the exception as a stack trace.
- Document JMX Supportx
Add a method to AsyncAppender that waits until the buffer is empty... like close method but without closing the appender.
Logging management for Threads, inherited ThreadGroup management object that is a pluggable framework to notify a user defined class of thread creation/destruction which can pass back specific reconfiguration instructions, like merge Thread-129 with existing Thread-101 configuration (share appender "tlog"), or create a new thread specific logger as "tlog" using "log4j.appender.tlog" configuration (thread specific log config) or fallback to some default action (no logging on "tlog" or log to "tlog" default output). log4j would co-operativly receive create+associate or destroy+deassociate events from application code thread manager.
Filters should be able to rewrite the contents of a LoggingEvent. I need this to be able to cope with a logging device that only accepts up to 130 characters per line, so I need to massage the output.
PropertyConfigurator.configure() and doConfigure() methods should return some sort of status to know if the loaded properties are valid.
- A Chainsaw extension for firefox to aid webapp development.
- Document dynamically changing the logging levels in a running application.
Add a String variable to LoggingEvent which is configurable by the programmer such that a parameter in a properties- or xml-file can add this String as a Constant to every LoggingEvent of one Appender.
LogFactor 5 - Requested Features
- Allow Log Factor 5 to read log files based on the customer pattern for that file, instead of the logfile having to follow Log Factor 5's format.
LogFactor 5 could read logfiles from disk, now it must read it "online".
Allow LogFactor 5 / Chainsaw to display log messages from a JMS queue.
Add Filtering to LogFactor 5. Would like to see filters for Date, Level, NDC, Thread, etc.

Glenda, I know how you feel, well not exactly but I to suffer with a back issue with a blown disc and often I will be laid up with a flare up.
Take care inspiring friend,
I went to your inspiration and saw that Rene Russo photo I have loved her style ever since I was a teen, her on the front cover of that famous book of actresses and what hair she has, so perfectly relaxed.

BlepharitisBlepharitis - Causes, Symptoms, Diagnosis and Treatment
What is blepharitis?
Blepharitis is an inflammation and matting of the eyelashes. This is usually a persistent, recurring problem for a child and starts early in childhood and may last throughout the child's life. Often, there is a secondary infection of the eye and a loss of eyelashes.
What causes blepharitis?
Blepharitis may be caused by an infection with bacteria, an abnormal production and secretion of the sebaceous glands (oil-producing glands), or it may be associated with seborrhea. Seborrheic dermatitis is an inflammation of the top layers of skin, characterized by red, itchy skin that sheds scales.
What are the symptoms of blepharitis?
The following are the most common symptoms of blepharitis. However, each child may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms may include:
Redness and scaling of the edges of the eyelids
Burning of the eyes
Your child rubbing his/her eyes
General discomfort of the eyes
Seborrheic dermatitis on your child's head or face
Eye drainage
How is blepharitis diagnosed?
Blepharitis is usually diagnosed based on a complete medical history and a physical examination of your child. Additional tests are not usually required to confirm the diagnosis.
Treatment of blepharitis
Specific treatment for blepharitis will be determined by your child's physician based on:
Your child's age, overall health, and medical history
The extent of the condition
Your child's tolerance for specific medications, procedures, or therapies
Expectations for the course of the condition
Your opinion or preference
Treatment may include:
Applying warm, wet, compresses to your child's eyes for a period of approximately 15 minutes several times throughout the day
Instructing your child not to rub his/her eyes
Having your child wash his/her hands frequently
Antibiotic ointments for the eyes--Antibiotic ointment does not make the blepharitis clear faster, but it may help to stop the spread of the infection to other parts of the eyes, or treat a secondary infection.
Washing your child's face daily, including the eyes--This is done with a wet washcloth and a gentle baby shampoo. Rub your child's eyelids gently to help remove the crust.
If your child also has seborrheic dermatitis, along with blepharitis, treatment recommendations may include:
Rubbing mineral oil on the head of infants with a soft toothbrush, followed by a gentle shampooing
Special, antifungal shampoo, as prescribed by your child's physician
Corticosteroid cream or lotion
Severe cases of blepharitis may need to be managed by an ophthalmologist or optometrist (eye care specialists).
It is important to know that the goal of the treatment is to decrease the severity of the symptoms.

Farmer's Almanac 2013-2014 Canadian Winter Snow Outlook
The Farmer's Almanac just announced their winter forecast for the Canadian 2013-2014 season. Check the US winter outlook here.
From The Farmer's Almanac—
After the unusually warm and snowless winter of 2011–2012, many people questioned if winter could make a comeback. Well it did. Last winter was cold and especially snowy.
So what's in store for Canada this winter? The "Days of Shivery" are back! For 2013–2014, we are forecasting a cold winter for much of Canada. A large area of below-normal temperatures will predominate from roughly east of the Rocky Mountains to the Eastern Great Lakes. Coldest temperatures will run south and east across the Laurentian Plateau to the Great Lakes. Only along the Pacific Coast and Maritime Provinces will winter temperatures average close to normal.
Update: See the new Farmers Almanac 2016 – 2017 Winter Weather Forecast here
and the Old Farmer's Almanac 2016 Winter Weather Predictions here
Precipitation-wise, drier than normal precipitation amounts are expected over British Columbia—an anomaly of sorts, since wet weather is usually the norm during the winter season. Meanwhile over the Prairies near-normal precipitation amounts are expected. Ontario and Quebec could be in for a snowy winter season while farther east, the Maritimes could vacillate between bouts of rain and snow.
Significant snowfalls are forecast for parts of every zone. Over Quebec and the Maritimes, the first two weeks of February could be in for possible heavy winter weather. This particular part of the winter season will be notably volatile.
And mid-March could bring a wave of storminess stretching almost from coast to coast, bringing a wide variety of precipitation types as well as strong and gusty winds.
To tide you over, here's a photo gallery of deep pow from last season.

Geneticist Schools Hawaii Bigots During Marriage Equality Testimony In State House
A breath of fresh, sane air wafted through the Hawaii House as Dean Hamer, a geneticist with a PhD from Harvard and 35 years at the National Institute of Health under his belt, took to the microphone to eloquently dismantle the blatant bigotry that has taken over the room during the past few days.
Also, Hamer brings us up to speed on the latest research into the genetic origins of the LGBT community.
Worth every minute of viewing!
Heterosexuality and man/woman relationships are part of a natural construct and have been a natural institution as long as sexual reproduction has existed. It is an observable natural construct. Homosexuality is outside of this particular construct and I wonder if science has concluded whether homosexuality is an anomalous condition effecting an estimated 5% of if they have identified another vital natural construct that homosexuals are taking part in?
This is a good question and points to the common misconception that if something has a genetic / biological basis then it means that it can be predicted 100% from genes. I'm sure there are many ways that you and your brother are different - in personality, perhaps in some minor aspects of physical appearance, in health status, etc. All of these are driven by a complex interaction of genetic and environmental influences, including influences that you encountered when before you were even born (in utero). Responding to the one person who questioned whether you can have someone submit their DNA and predict their sexual orientation - that's just not the way genes work. Nor can you look at someone's DNA and determine whether they'll be a graceful dancer or a skilled orator. The doctor's point was that if there were no genetic basis, you would see 5% concordance between identical twins, but in reality you see over 50% concordance, showing that there is a large genetic component.
Thanks for speaking to this. In my experience of interacting with twins I've come to realize there are differences that really speak to their individually. One of the biggest being something as simple as birth order. Nine times out of ten I can tell which is the first born twin by simple observation of their behavior in social situations. At some level there is always something that distinguishes one from the other. I have friends who are twins where both are gay or one is straight or both are straight. The real bottom line is that you probably don't feel or think your twin is any more or less deserving of the right to be treated humanely.

Carlo Fassi, Oscar Munoz, Bruce Taylor
Chair Greene called the workshop to order at 9:00 a.m.
Chair Greene asked for approval of the minutes from the October 16 workshop. The minutes were unanimously approved as submitted.
Chair Greene asked Provost Workman to introduce John Yancey to the Board.
Provost Workman clarified that Deb Kaye, associate vice president, Enrollment Services, had recently retired which led to John Yancey's appointment to that position, on an interim basis. Provost Workman stated that John Yancey had been with the university since 1997, and had served in several capacities within Enrollment Services. Provost Workman stated that this was a very positive appointment for the university.
Chair Greene asked President Delaney to preface this discussion.
President Delaney stated that the university had been reviewing the vision and mission, with consideration to the current list of peer aspirants. Vice President Serwatka and Provost Workman provided metrics for 24 institutions selected through a process that included U.S.News and World Report's top 50 regional institutions.
Trustees discussed metrics for these 24 institutions and asked that additional metrics on distance learning and post-graduate employment be added. The administration clarified that there were no national databases with these two measures but that there would be efforts made to follow these measures at the state level.
Trustees discussed selectivity measures and how these measures affect graduation rates. This discussion included high school GPA's and college entrance exams. Another discussion regarding college graduation rates was student-to-campus bonding, including time spent on campus and/or time in residence halls. Trustees asked that future peer aspirants be considered based on comparable selectivity measures.
Trustees discussed retention and asked that the administration consider including peer aspirants that had solutions to similar retention issues. The administration agreed to re-aggregate the data to include information on UNF's top priorities.
This item was tabled due to time constraints.
Chair Greene adjourned the workshop at 10:30 a.m.

Troublesome Weeds
The following list consists of weeds commonly found in Larimer County and considered a problem by many landowners. Because these weeds are so frequent in their distribution, management efforts are encouraged but not required in the Larimer County Weed Management Plan. Descriptions, management recommendations, and methods of control are listed.
The term 'cheatgrass' is often used to describe various annual brome species. Locally, cheatgrass refers to downy brome and Japanese brome collectively, both species found throughout Larimer County below 9,000 feet. Downy brome is the more prominent of the two grasses. Cheatgrass species follow a winter annual life cycle - seed germinates following late summer or early fall moisture (some spring emergence can occur as well), becomes dormant in winter, and is the first grass to green-up in the spring. Cheatgrass typically sets seed in May and dries down by July. At maturity, the abundant and very prickly seed heads become a nuisance to hikers, pets and livestock. Dense stands of dry plant material create a fine-fuel source for frequent summer wildfires in the western United States.
The most common herbicide for controlling cheatgrass is imazapic (Plateau/Panoramic). Treatments should be applied in the fall either pre-emergent or early post emergent (prior to the tillering stage of the grass). Glyphosate (Roundup and others) can be applied at low rates in the winter when perennial grasses are dormant for selective control. On-going research has found that Matrix has shown effective control with the advantage of working beyond the tillering stage, making the timing of use of Matrix less essential than imazapic.
No insect biocontrol agents are available for control of cheatgrass. Grazing in the early spring when the grass is palatable can suppress seed head production, but can also be injurious to desirable perennial grasses at that time.
Hand pulling or tillage (where feasible) is effective if conducted prior to seed set. Mowing is marginally effective, as re-growth will occur and plants will set seed from a reduced height.
Fire can be an effective tool for cheatgrass management if conducted at the right time. A prescribed burn in the late fall or early spring is least injurious to desirable perennial grasses that are dormant at those times. The goal of a prescribed burn is to generate enough heat from burning the previous season's plant residue to scorch the newly-emerged green seedling cheatgrass. If the fire burns too quickly, or the available fuel is insufficient to burn hot enough, the low-lying cheatgrass seedlings will escape. Cheatgrass proliferates following summer wildfires that eliminate desirable plants and create openings for cheatgrass emergence with late summer rains. Also, fire removes the thatch layer that can disrupt an herbicide's effectiveness.
Kochia and Russian thistle are the most common annual weeds on roadsides, pasture and farmland of eastern Colorado. These two members of the chenopodiaceae, or goosefoot family, typically germinate in March and April, then flower and set seed from July to October. At maturity these plants break off at the base and become tumbleweeds. Kochia and Russian thistle are often the first weeds to appear on disturbed sites and areas with high soil nitrate content around corrals and barns. Both plants are prolific seed producers, with seed that remains viable in the soil for 2-3 years.
The most effective herbicides for controlling kochia are dicamba (Banvel, Vanquish, Clarity) and Vista. 2,4-D works best for controlling Russian thistle. For control of both species apply a combination of dicamba and 2,4-D. This pre-mix is available under numerous brand names such as Outlaw, Rangestar, Veteran 720, Weedmaster, and others.
No insect biocontrol agents are available for control of these 2 species. These plants are palatable to livestock when green and grazing can provide suppression, though not control.
Tillage or hand pulling is effective for controlling these annuals. Mowing is only a temporary solution, as kochia and Russian thistle will quickly re-grow, often in a stand more dense and uniform than prior to mowing.
Field bindweed is a low growing, deep-rooted perennial plant that reproduces by seed or underground rootstalks. Field bindweed is an extremely persistent plant though not very competitive if desirable vegetation can be established. Field bindweed seeds can remain viable in the soil for 50+ years.
The most effective herbicides for control of field bindweed are Tordon, Arsenal, Plateau, Paramount, dicamba, and 2,4-D.
For insect biocontrol, a gall mite Aceria malherbae, and to a lesser extent a defoliating moth, Tyta luctuosa are becoming well established in Colorado and having a significant effect on field bindweed infestations. The result of the insect feeding is a much less competitive stand of field bindweed with plants displaying curled leaves and reduced stolon growth.
Shallow tillage (disk, sweep) can be counter-productive, creating a denser, more uniform stand of field bindweed. Deeper tillage, if feasible, such as moldboard plowing can provide 1-2 years control.
These plants all display similar growth habits, site characteristics and responses to management methods. Annual mustards typically germinate in the fall, to a lesser extent in the spring, flower early in the spring and dry down by July. These species are quick to invade disturbed sites but are not competitive once perennial grasses are established.
The most effective herbicides for controlling annual mustards are Escort, Plateau/Panoramic, and Telar. Mustard species are frequently referenced in the herbicide guide because of this plant family's unique tolerance to numerous herbicides used for managing other noxious weeds.
No insect biocontrol agents are available for control of these species. Mustards are generally not palatable to livestock.
Hand pulling and digging are effective methods for control of annual plants.
Common mullein is a biennial plant commonly found in disturbed areas of range and pasture.
Common mullein seldom appears to have invasive characteristics except on heavily disturbed sites such as intensively grazed pastures, prairie dog colonies, or sites severely impacted by wildfire. Common mullein seed germinates in the late summer or fall producing a rosette with soft, velvet-like leaves. Yellow flowers grow from a tall, solitary stalk that appears in mid-summer.
The most effective herbicides for controlling common mullein are Escort, Milestone, and Telar when used with a good surfactant.
There are no insect biocontrol agents available for control of common mullein.
Hand pulling or digging this biennial is an effective method of control if the top 2-3 inches of tap root is removed.
A deciduous shrub or small tree that was introduced into this country for erosion control, windbreaks and as an ornamental tree. Russian olive is a phreatophyte, or water-loving plant that has become an invasive species along rivers, irrigation ditches, reservoirs, and other riparian habitats. These thorny trees form dense, impenetrable thickets on many river bottoms, and eventually crowd out native cottonwood trees and willows. Russian olives produce large numbers of white berries, or seed that is consumed by birds and spread from site to site when passed through their systems undigested. Because of this, suburban backyard trees can serve as a seed source for spread of Russian olives to natural areas located miles away.
Numerous herbicides can provide control of Russian olives, the choice depends on size of the trees and proximity to water or other desirable vegetation. Large trees are commonly removed by cutting down at the base and applying an herbicide to the stump to prevent re-sprouting. A methylated seed oil plus Garlon, Arsenal or Roundup is frequently used for cut-stump treatments. Smaller trees can be controlled with a foliar application of Arsenal, or if near water, Habitat (same active ingredient with an aquatic label.) No insect biocontrol agents are available for control of Russian olive.
Mechanical treatments such as cutting, bulldozing, and fire are temporarily effective for controlling Russian olives, but re-sprouting is a problem that requires an herbicide application to prevent subsequent treatments the following season.
Also known as 'goathead', this annual forb produces yellow flowers and grows in mats that can spread to 4 feet in diameter. Puncturevine appears throughout spring and summer in multiple flushes following significant rainfall. The plants reproduce from seed that is contained within a very spiny bur that gives this weed the name 'goathead'. The burs are sharp enough to puncture bicycle tires and make life miserable for barefoot hikers.
Numerous selective herbicides (won't injure grasses) are effective for controlling puncturevine, the problem with managing this persistent weed is staying after multiple flushes that occur during the growing season. Dicamba (Banvel, Vanquish, Clarity), 2,4-D, and Vista effectively control emerged puncturevine. For soil residual activity, Telar and Tordon provide season-long control.
Insect biocontrol agents are available that feed on the seed heads and stems of puncturevine, and provide effective management in some areas. Unfortunately, these weevils are not effective under Colorado's cold climatic conditions.
Digging and pulling provide effective control of annual weeds such as puncturevine. If plants have set seed, plant material should be bagged and disposed of to prevent seed dispersal.

14-Year-Old Girl From Florida Murders Her Newborn Son & Hides The Body In Shoebox!
"A 14-year-old Florida girl is facing murder charges after police said she admitted to strangling her newborn son and stuffing his body in a shoe box. The girl gave birth to a gave birth to a 9.5-pound baby boy in the bathroom at her Lakeland, Fla., home on Sept. 19, police said. The teen, who is 5-foot-3 and weighs 100 pounds, had been wearing baggy clothing to conceal her pregnancy from her family, police said. When she realized she was giving birth, the girl turned on the bathroom faucet, police said she told them, and placed a towel in her mouth to mute her cries of pain as she delivered the baby." - ABC

Hot Harry's home...with Chelsy
After a couple of months tasting America, literally, Hot Harry's home in England. He was out last night at a club. Chelsy Davy was there too. Apparently they didn't go "together" and simply greeted each other warmly inside, then left separately, but still...
There's a fresh history. I mean, she was his official date at his brother's monumental wedding just over 6 months ago. This is not a distant affair. And, well, sometimes a prince just needs an old fix.
But Diana gave her boys the gift of wearing a suit, didn't she? And, as previously noted, the ability to be as comfortable in one as their pyjamas. It's the same with the military uniforms too. Their clothes are never costumes for them. They were bred to look like they belong, anywhere.

The OP can either start playing smart or keep banging into the same wall over and over. This is why I am so glad I did not get a PhD. I'd be stuck in the glut with the rest of the suckers toiling as a post-doc or unemployed.
Even if you have to lie I would definitely endorse it if you have no other options. This expectation that candidates need to be 100% honest and ethical is entirely one sided. Companies are pulling every dirty trick they can get away with and I've certainly be lied to at interviews or otherwise treated badly more times than I can count. Also the hiring process is the most illogical, unfair, and dysfunctional process I have ever seen in my life.
Lies are a risk that needs to be managed. Do it if you need to but minimize it and be aware what the risks are. For most jobs companies send the background check to a third party company who will verify degrees, work history, references, and criminal background. Once you are past that you are probably home free. As for if the PhD will show up on the check and cause them to fire you I would tend to doubt it. It is not like you faked a degree you don't have.

ALBANY, N.Y.—Three Retrievers notched hat tricks, but the UMBC women's lacrosse team (10-6, 4-2 AE) came up just short in a 12-11 loss to eighth-ranked Albany (15-0, 5-0 AE) Saturday afternoon at John Fallon Field. The Great Danes locked up the America East regular-season title outright and will host next week's America East Championship, while the Retrievers earned the No. 3 seed.
UMBC will face second-seeded Boston University in the America East semifinals on Thursday, May 5. The Terriers were also 4-2 against league opponents but earn the higher seed because of their 13-9 victory over the Retrievers on April 2.
The game was tied at 4-4 with 10:28 left in the first half before Albany scored four unanswered goals over the next nine minutes to take an 8-4 lead. The Retrievers tallied twice over the final minute of the period and trailed, 9-6, at halftime.
The Great Danes maintained an 11-8 lead midway through the second stanza, but sophomore midfielder Lindsay Cox (High Bridge, N.J./Voorhees) and senior midfielder Amanda Pappas (Pasadena, Md./Chesapeake) scored back-to-back free-position goals to pull the Retrievers to within one, 11-10, with 10:54 remaining.
But Albany freshman midfielder Ariana Parker tallied what proved to be the game-winner less than two minutes later, finding the back of the net on an unassisted goal at the 9:05 mark.
Senior attack Erika Braerman (Fallston, Md./Fallston) completed her hat trick with 5:37 to go in the game to bring the Retrievers back to within one, 12-11, but Albany midfielder Rachel Burek controlled the ensuing draw, and the Great Danes were able to play keep-away for the remainder of the game.
Braerman led the Retrievers with four points on three goals and an assist and was named the America East Player of the Game. She added three ground balls and two caused turnovers. Cox and Pappas also scored three goals apiece.
Burek earned her team's Player of the Game nod with four points, also on three goals and an assist. Attack Taylor Frink, a Tewaaraton Trophy nominee, tallied six points on a goal and five assists, while Parker and attack Jodi Battaglia both posted hat tricks.
UMBC senior goalie Natalie Rau (Fallston, Md./Fallston) tallied two saves, while Anna Berman stopped eight shots for the Great Danes.
UMBC outshot Albany, 25-15, including 11-5 in the second half, and held a 12-9 advantage on ground balls, but the Great Danes won the draw control battle, 14-11.
Notes: Pappas and Braerman moved into a tie for 15th place all-time at UMBC with 134 career points… Braerman also moved into a tied for third with 57 career assists… Junior midfielder Alicia Krause's (Ellicott City, Md./Mt. Hebron/Duquesne) goal at the end of the first half was her 50th point of the season, giving the Retrievers a 50-point scorer four years in a row.

Judo is a sport which translates roughly into the "supple/gentle/soft way" in Japanese. The central guiding principle of judo is "Maximum Efficiency with Minimum Effort". This distilled means that to defeat your opponent in the context of a judo match you should first unbalance him so:
when your opponent pulls you, you push him.
when your opponent pushes you, you pull him.
In an actual judo match, please believe me, things are significantly more complex, dynamic and chaotic than that. But the zenith of elegant, beautiful and, I should emphasize, effective judo is always one that preserves this elemental principle: non-resistance and taking advantage of the opponent's loss of equilibrium.
Good judo also subordinates physical strength to actual judo technique based on the principle above. That is not say that physical strength is unimportant — it most certainly is and ceteris paribus, the bigger judo player almost always wins — but that extreme strength should be applied at the right time, once one's opponent is off-balanced. In good judo, technique is paramount, while strength is secondary.
Beginning judo players (and often in the heavy-weight category where I fought) tend to "muscle" their opponents in effort to throw them, in other words, minimum efficiency with maximal effort. And generally speaking, to be a world-class judoka, technique scales much more effectively than strength.
Here is what good judo looks like in in the "real-world" of international judo competition. Watch as the Brazilian judo player (in the blue judogi) times and initiates his throw upon the French player (in the white judogi) as the French player steps forward with his left foot.
It is plain to see that the Frenchman has forward inertia that is being exploited by the Brazilian. The Frenchman has effectively pushed, and in response, the Brazilian has very literally pulled, resulting in a beautiful throw by the Brazilian to win the match…in six seconds BTW.
Now, I have no desire to stretch, exaggerate (and break) judo as a metaphor for life, business or startups — this has already been done — but I do think there are certain parallels between judo and Lean Startups/Customer Development that are worthwhile exploring.
Leaving aside the fact that your customers aren't your opponents and your aim is not to defeat them, I think much can be said for a judo-like approach of Maximum Efficiency with Minimum Effort, by establishing marketing and positioning (initiating and timing your throws) based upon on what your customers' perceptions are or aren't about your product (their pushes or pulls), rather than forcing what you think your positioning should be upon them (only your brute strength).
What does this look like in the real world of startups?
It looks like what Sean Ellis espouses with Survey.io and what Chris O'Donnell of Markitechture describes in a recent post, A/B Testing for Product-Market Fit.
Use your customers' pushes and pulls to your advantage. Don't try to simply muscle them to where you think you want them.
Maximum Efficiency with Minimum Effort. Can you think of any additional examples?

Quantum healing is healing the bodymind from a quantum level. That means from a level which is not manifest at a sensory level. Our bodies ultimately are fields of information, intelligence and energy. Quantum healing involves a shift in the fields of energy information, so as to bring about a correction in an idea that has gone wrong. So quantum healing involves healing one mode of consciousness, mind, to bring about changes in another mode of consciousness, body.

Mortgage protections finalized
The government's consumer lending watchdog finalized new rules Thursday aimed at protecting homeowners from shoddy service and unexpected fees charged by companies that collect their monthly mortgage payments.
Mortgage servicing companies will be required to provide clear monthly billing statements, warn borrowers before interest rate hikes and actively help them avoid foreclosure, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau said. The rules also require companies to credit people's payments promptly, swiftly correct errors and keep better internal records.
Story Continued Below
In a departure from proposed rules released in August, the agency said that mortgage companies will not be allowed to seek foreclosure on a person's home while that person is trying to arrange lower monthly payments or otherwise avoid losing the home. The change will end the practice of "dual-tracking" - pushing a borrower into foreclosure while discussing a loan modification with that borrower.
The rules "will provide a fairer and more effective process for troubled borrowers who face the potential loss of their homes," CFPB Director Richard Cordray said in remarks prepared for a public event in Atlanta Thursday.
The changes are part of a sweeping overhaul of mortgage rules by the CFPB, which was created by Congress in 2010 to police the kind of risky lending that contributed to the financial crisis. Congress charged the agency with rewriting the rules for how mortgage companies do business.
Mortgage servicers are central players in the nationwide housing crisis because they are responsible for foreclosing on homes when people fail to make payments. They have been criticized widely for practices like charging excessive fees, foreclosing without completing the required paperwork and failing to help people stay in their homes by changing their loan terms.
The new agency has focused on mortgage servicers in part because borrowers can't shop around and choose a mortgage servicer. Instead, servicers buy the right to collect payments from the original lenders. Servicing rights can be lucrative because they permit servicers to collect fees, for example on late payments. Without the threat of customers abandoning them, critics say, servicers have less incentive to serve customers well.

Welcome to the National. Today is the end of Day 2 in Anaheim. So far the crowds have been light to moderate. Below are some pictures I took while I was walking around. Above is the famous Gretzky/McNall 1909 T206 Honus Wagner in PSA 8 Mint Condition. It is displayed at the PSA submission area. It last sold in 2000 for $1,265,000.00.
This is a great painting of Eric Gagne. It brought back such wonderful memories.
Chad Billingsley made a surprise appearance for TriStar. He was signing free autographs. I was lucky to stumble upon this as he would only be appearing for 1 hour. His agent, Dave Stewart, was also there. I had just snapped this photo, turned around and overheard him speaking to a boy of probably 16. The kids father was in awe as Dave explained how important it was for him not to start throwing a curve ball at such a young age. He explained that you should work on a fastball and change up. Throwing a curve when your not physically developed can screw up your arm. He said something about how many kids who throw a curve too young oftentimes can't pitch faster than 85 mph when older. I was very impressed that Dave Stewart would take so much time with this kid. He's truly a class act.
Feel free to check out my photoalbum. I have more pics from the convention; including pictures of Bill Russell and Ron Cey signing autographs.
Update: So far I've purchase a bunch of oddball Dodger items like team issued photos, press photos, pins and vintage mini pennants. I'm also down to 2 cards left to complete my 1972 set and 6 cards on my Callahan set. Yhea.
