East Atlanta resident Henry Bryant said things started changing in his neighborhood when the Olympics came to Atlanta in 1996.
"One of the big turning points was when the Olympic torch came to East Atlanta," Bryant said.
Bryant said the torch was scheduled to arrive in East Atlanta Village, the business district of the neighborhood, at 10 p.m. He said Grant Central Pizza, a coffee shop and another restaurant had just opened.
"They had started to struggle after only being open for a few weeks," Bryant said. "There had never been anybody in the village after six o' clock. The torch was running behind and they didn't get there until 5 in the morning but people stayed out all night long—those businesses stayed open all night too. That sort of marked a time that would be the closest to overnight change we've ever had here."
Bryant, who has been living in the East Atlanta neighborhood for 32 years, said most of the change has been slow and arduous. He first moved to the neighborhood from a condominium in south DeKalb when he and his wife saw property values begin to drop in the area. When his family first moved to East Atlanta, Bryant said there wasn't even a shopping area in the neighborhood.
"Obviously, it was real different back then than it is today. What we felt when we first moved here was a sort of small town atmosphere—it was an injured small town but it had those elements," he said.
Bryant, who is a member of the East Atlanta Community Association, said when he and his family first moved to East Atlanta it was very easy to get to know their neighbors and everybody was willing to help each other.
"It's funny that people who have moved here in the past three to five years get very impatient with the neighborhood and think that it should be fixed up overnight," he said. "I think it really takes constant work and vigilance—you take three steps forward and two steps back."
Over the years, Bryant said, the city has undergone multiple streetscape projects to beautify the neighborhood. Additionally, he said residents have consistently battled zoning, sanitation and housing issues.
For example, the majority of businesses zoned in East Atlanta village are required to share parking. However, Bryant said some business owners are not being cooperative. East Atlanta village has become a business/entertainment district with a vibrant night life, but Bryant said that wasn't always residents' vision for the small neighborhood.
"As a person who was involved in the very first East Atlanta study and sat around and said what we wanted it to be, it is not what we wanted it to be," Bryant said. "Our original vision for the village was to have it as a new urban concept—a place where you would be able to walk to buy goods and services. It would include bars but not to the extent it does now."
Bryant said as Buckhead became less of an entertainment district over the past several decades, people began looking for other places to go and many began coming to East Atlanta. More bars and restaurants began to open, not all of them family friendly.
"I think we're still struggling with that up in the village," Bryant said. "Every time I get in my car and turn the key I ask myself, 'Where am I going and why am I going there; why can't I get it in the village?' What it comes down to is landowners can make more money selling alcohol."
Although Bryant said he still sees a lot of work to be done, he is happy in East Atlanta and with the positive changes and growth the neighborhood has seen over the years.
"We discovered after we moved here that we needed to work on the community and we worked on that as a family a lot. Our sons were born here and they're all grown and have moved back into the area. That's a good thing," Bryant said.

Engaged but unbiased? the CrunchFund controversy
Quickly about what's going on: TechCruch -acquired last year by AOL for apprx. $30M -is one of the most read blogs on technology and venture capital in the world. Michael Arrington started the blog in 2005 to cover tech startups, throw parties in his house for founders and VCs and build influence.
Now he raised $20M for a fund he'll manage. Half the money came from AOL, the other half from top tier VCs (Sequoia Capital, Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers and Greylock Partners, all regularly covered by TechCrunch of course).
The move triggered tons of criticism obviously because of looming conflict of interest scenarios.
Arrington's points:
- he's not a journalist
- full transparency: they'll note in the coverage if they are investors; things he has always done as an angel investor
- you don't need to be an investor to be biased
Before I move on, a quick reaction to these points, noting that a lot of things have changed in the past week since I wrote this post, including Arrington being removed from his post at TechCrunch:
He is not a journalist. I think TechCrunc, like most blogging platforms never intended to challenge journalists, or investments analysts for that matter. BUT they are in the business of technology and startups, part of the scene. They are in the information business, which no longer belongs exclusively to the journalistic domain; and I think everybody's clear about this, including their readers and advertisers.
Another important point: the Silicon Valley is tight knit community: everybody's involved, so being a classical journalist who covers this ecosystem (reporting the facts objectively) must be incredibly difficult, if not impossible! And this pretty much takes care of the 3rd point Arrington made: I completely agree.
Regarding transparency: I regularly read blogs from (other) VCs, too who communicate their personal opinion on companies including the ones they invested in, always disclosing that they have a vested interest: I know: this is not supposed to be their business…but is this really true? Just because there's no advertisement on their blog, it means it's not their business (to influence)?
And now I am going to say something that is even more controversial:
I can't help noticing analogies between my business and TechCrunch:
I believe that a consultant is much more credible if he's engaged (financially, too) and if he goes beyond mere fact based reporting/analysis. I value executive search consultants for example who sit on boards of companies and/or are investors themselves (managing conflict of interest scenarios transparently, of course).
Talking about the Silicon Valley, a good example to mention is Ramsey and Beirne (now Kindred Partners, after David Beirne was brought on board by Benchmark Capital in the late 90's) that accepted equity in the companies they searched for. But I believe that this can be taken to an even higher level, like search guys making angel investments or acquiring companies, etc. In fact the best value maybe realized by people in the leadership business exactly in such scenarios.
I think nothing of consultants (search, strategy whatever) who follow the "learn & repeat formula" everybody else is following from the time they are 23 until they retire: there's absolutely no perspective they can add to any situation.
And now the philosophical part:
I am convinced that you can't be fully engaged without being completely detached!
If you try to be detached without being engaged, it means you're dealing with abstractions you don't understand – no matter how successfully you managed to position yourself as an "authority", you're not authentic, to put it mildly.

Above all, the guidelines advise ships' captains to proceed at full speed through pirate waters, noting that no ships have been boarded when the vessel has been sailing at more than 18 knots (20 mph).
Some ships operating in Somali waters have even resorted to 'citadels'; safe rooms where the crew can barricade themselves into a ship that has already been boarded by pirates.
Nevertheless, committed pirates hell bent on capturing valuable hostages have been known to take plastic explosives onto vessels to breach citadels, drill through bulkheads to pour in petrol or shoot at the doors indiscriminately and the industry is still divided on whether citadels are a safe haven or a death trap.
While Asian waters have yet to reach the warzone status of the Horn of Africa, the numbers are showing a worrying return of piracy to the South China Seas and the Indian Ocean.
According to statistics from the International Chamber of Commerce International Maritime Bureau, there have been 22 attacks in 2013 of which nine took place in waters around South East Asia.
Due to increased policing, Somalia has registered just one incident this year but pirates in the African country still hold a total of seven captured vessels and ransoms for 113 hostages are still being negotiated.
While Asian attacks tend to be of a less serious nature -- ranging from petty thefts of engine parts to large-scale thefts of valuable cargoes -- the maritime industry says ship owners, faced with increasing costs and lower revenues due to the global financial crisis, have cut the size of crews and in some cases their wages, a situation that leaves the door open to piracy.
"Sometimes it's suspected that these small robberies are even carried out by the crew who sell the supplies to boost their low salaries and later put the blame on pirates," the Hong Kong-based shipper said.

Getting Cash Advance After Bankruptcy
The bankruptcy rate for consumers has gone up significantly over the past 10 years. It is a wonderful method of debt repair. However, one consequence of the process is that a consumer could have difficulty obtaining a loan after filing. Bankruptcy can remain on a persons credit report for as many as 10 years. Most consumers who have filed bankruptcy do not believe there is an option for them for financial assistance. Fortunately, there are special lenders for the part of the population that needs a little help. Cash in advance from one of these special lenders can help a struggling consumer to stay afloat in an economically challenged world.
Any consumer who needs cash for an emergency can apply for payday loans online. As long as the person has a steady job and a decent income, he or she is likely to gain approval for this type of product. The applicant should make at least $1,500 per month and be employed for at least 90 days. The lender likes to see consistency so it will know that the borrower is going to repay the advance. Additionally, anyone applying for a payday advance also needs to have a valid bank account. This is the most important part of the application process for a cash advance.
Payday loan lenders need to have an account to deposit the funds. They also need to have an account from which to take their payments. This account should be active for at least 90 days and have no traces of adverse transactions. If these criteria are not met, the lender will deny the advance.
Bankruptcy does not affect the lenders decision for cash in advance. In fact, the lender will not check the applicants credit score at all. Instead, a payday lender will use the applicants income amount and job history as qualifiers for the loan. Payday lenders believe in giving consumers a second chance, even if they have gone through bankruptcy. These special lenders look past the negative and have faith in their customers. Anyone who has a Bankruptcy ruling can apply for this type of assistance at any time.
Superfruit Diet
We all know that fruits are good for us. An apple a day keeps the doctor away as the old proverb tells us. Recently there's a lot of buzz about "Superfruits," which not only keep us healthy but help us actively lose weight. Television personality Doctor Oz has been on the front lines of the health industry for some time now and he champions the use of Superfruits.
The Superfruit Diet Formula (also referred to as SDF-3) was concocted to give all the nutritional benefits of the Superfruits Doctor Oz recommends. It's simple, easy, and convenient. The most recent addition into SDF-3 is Raspberry Ketone. Research studies have proven what a powerful fat burner Raspberry Ketone is, so it's inclusion into the Superfruit Diet Formula was a no-brainer.
Another fruits included in SDF-3 is the much sought-after acai berry. Acai wards off hunger, boosts fat-burning and amps up your metabolism. Another benefit given from the Acai berry is protection from cancer. The high antioxidant content of acai fights off the free radicals which cause cancer in the first place. Acai also has been known to reduce cholesterol levels, and contains high levels of vitamin C and E .
Dr. Oz featured green coffee bean extract on his show because of its powerful metabolism kick. It's a natural compound extracted from unroasted coffee beans. Check the shelf of any health-food store and you'll see a bottle of green coffee bean extract hanging around. It's not technically a fruit, but it is indeed a "superfood" too beneficial to exclude from the Superfood Diet .
Joining Green Coffee Bean Extract, Acai Berry, and Raspberry Ketone is the powerful African Mango. The mango has been used to reduce waist and hip size, decrease total cholesterol levels, and overall lose weight. It's a natural appetite suppressant which curbs hunger cravings at their worst.
Superfruits aren't new, and superfruit dieting is actually pretty common . What makes the SDF-3 formula so revolutionary is it includes the benefits from many different superfruit and combines it into one supplement. This is smart, because all bodies are different. One body may be immune to the effects of African Mango while one may be immune to Acai Berry. What makes the Superfruit Diet Formula so effective is the inclusion of many fruits. learn more about this: 5 Odd-Ball Tips on african mango, hcg diet diet, hcg diet benefits

Metacritic refuse to remove factually inaccurate review even after GameSpot admits mistake
Metacritic's policy to accept a publication's first review is coming back round to haunt Natural Selection 2. GameSpot reviews editor Kevin VanOrd recently banished the site's original article due to a number of factual errors and silly mistakes. Unfortunately, Metacritic is refusing to replace the old score with GameSpot's replacement verdict.

Natural Selection 2′s engine measured against Valve's Source, Goldsource
Former modders collective turned dev studio Unknown Worlds seems to be riding out from hobbyist to independent developer with their follow-up title Natural Selection 2, but the transition from Valve's Half-Life engine to their own internally developed Spark is a little bumpier.
To ensure the new engine is competitive, founder Charlie Cleveland told Hooked Gamers that the team "are constantly loading Natural Selection 1, Team Fortress 2 and other games to compare Natural Selection 2 side-by-side with them."

Natural Selection 2 teaser shows massive and scary beast
Natural Selection 2 is scheduled for release this fall and the online FPS has a new teaser posted after the break.
Pitting aliens against humans, the strategic shooter allows two teams of up to 16 players to face against evolving environments that change as you play – so you supposedly never play the same game twice.
Hallways get deformed, flamethrowers become your best friend, power can be cut to enemy bases – loads of stuff's possible.
Thanks, BigDownload.

On July 09, 2011, Derek Jeter made history, becoming just the 28th player in Major League history to record 3,000 career hits.
As impressive as that feat is, even more impressive is the fact that Jeter was the first and only to do so a New York Yankee, adding to his already unbelievable list of career accolades which include the 1996 American League Rookie of the Year, 12 All-Star game selections, 4 Silver Slugger and 5 Gold Glove awards to go along with his 5 World Series rings. He is perhaps the most clutch performer to ever don the pinstripes and consistently coming up big in big spots. Jeter continues to produce at a staggering clip, breaking records on what seems to be a nightly basis. This amazing 20x32 framed piece includes dirt from the different Major League stadiums. Along with the dirt is the number of hits displayed against each team leading up to 3000.

Log in to review this cafe and add photos.
Have seen this place on Instagram and decided our trip to Noosa was the perfect chance to drive home via Mooloolabah and try it out. It's a small space, in a line of small food outlets. Simple fitout and set up, but I was hoping the coffee was as good as they said it was!
Flat... Read more
2 Flat Whites
Second awesome coffee of the Easter weekend. It was impossible to find a park so got a takeaway. Coffee was excellent. The service was quick and cheerful. The pricing board is a little confusing. The place is part of a strip of shops running along the beach front. Not a bad atmosphere, plenty of people.
1 Mocha
Exceptional coffee the last few days. Each cup has been consistent and pleasing. Makes Mooloolaba more inviting.
When it's not busy, it's great. But if I walk in and there is a line out the door I will turn and leave, as I have had too many bad coffees that have been rushed through, leading to a bitter, burnt coffee. Great atmosphere, perfect location.
Solid coffee. Been here once and had two. The small (6 ounce??) in house was nice. Latte was made like a latte should be. Second coffee (piccolo) was not that great. Very bitter (over extracted). But for a very busy place it would be hard to nail each coffee. I'd come again.
Was taken here by a work collegue. Not too bad a coffee, not the best and there was quite a wait. I will try the cafe just two doors along next time. Service was fine but why do so many cafe's have a pouty girl serving?? Just dont understand the whole "if she looks alternative she will be fine"... Read more
1 Latte
Have heard a lot of this espresso bar, so my expectations were high.
Sadly, I was quite disappointed. The coffee was average, if I do go back, I will need to remember to get an extra shot, as it was rather weak.
I'm sure if I was a regular customer, my experience may have been... Read more
Live the staff, love the coffee, love the atmosphere. Can't go wrong, especially if Sam serves you!
Coffee was good, but a place that says 'we can't put it in a cup - we are doing takeaway only because it is too busy' says something about their commitment to the beverage
1 Long Black
Unpretentious atmosphere. Friendly service. Great coffee. Ticks all the boxes!
Went here again recently and it really is a great little place. Had two good piccolos and the services is always very good. I'm not sure about the claims by some of the reviewers regarding it 'being the best on the Sunshine Coast' - I think some of the speciality roasters might take that crown -... Read more
2 Piccolos
I was on a bit of a caffeine bing today and downed my final 3 shots of 9 at the Good Bean. I note this as a disclaimer because perhaps it influenced my experience. Perhaps not.
The service was awesome, very accomodating (we had a dog with us and they let him sit in the door and... Read more
1 Doppio, 1 Soy Piccolo
Had a very nice double shot fw here. And my daughter enjoyed her iced chocolate immensely. Great atmosphere. And the freckle is a friendly touch.
Once again the great people from Good Bean reminded me why I keep on coming back! They know my order, create it flawlessly, and I can then enjoy my coffee with the sun on my back with a great bunch of friends after a morning cycle around the coast.
1 Long Macchiato
Beanhunter brought me here this morning. Top reveiwed cafe for the area. The dbl latte was nice. Made well but the flavours were'nt there for me on this occasion. I think a triple res would have hit the mark. The sng origin espresso was well extracted but still tasted quite young in age. This is my... Read more
Smooth flavour. Bitter at first sip but gets better. Friendly service at 6.30am on a Saturday.
Two great coffees this morning. Absolutely flawless!
Mostly outstanding. A little disappointed with the single origins though, but I shall overlook this as every other experience has been amazing.
Been here a couple of times and each time I have loved it! Great coffee, great atmosphere and really nice service. Great for a take away coffee on the beach. :)
Good solid coffee, did not expect to find a good coffee in Mooloolaba but after reading the reviews was very excited to try. Bought a skinny flat white to go and although I had to wait a little while, it was worth it. The freckle was a cool touch, the milk was perfect, and the blend was quite good.... Read more
1 Skinny Flat White
I hate to say it, but for me the standard of the coffee as well as the service has definitely gone down (sorry!!!)
I feel harsh saying it, but I was a huge Good Bean fan (went there daily for months) and since the opening of a couple of other local coffee venues, have been leaving my Good... Read more
2 Soy Flat Whites
Best by far in mooloolaba.. If not the whole sunny coast.
I had a great coffee and despite the large number of people waiting (mid-week during school hols), the service was very prompt. I can see why this consistently reviews so well.
Cannot fault today's experience
2 cold coffee's in a row so to be sure i ordered it extra hot... its cold. good bye good bean, its bean swell : (


text: As I was writing this post, I came across this quote on Pinterest: "The couples that are 'meant to be' are the ones who go through everything that is meant to tear them apart and come out even stronger than they were before." For Lindsey and Jorge, for a part of their relationship, that hurdle, that obstacle, was distance. They met at work, fell in love, and then things got tricky, with Jorge having to return for Mexico and Lindsey staying here. But their love was strong, and, with the support of their family, they eventually managed to get everything sorted out and tie the knot. And I was lucky enough to cover their beautiful and sunny wedding day with Bowen. Lindsey and Jorge are people you can't not like: joyful and caring, they welcomed us as if we were family, right from the beginning. And so when I sent Lindsey the video and she admitted it made her tear up, we felt good, like we'd actually successfully captured, in some little, simple way, a bit of what their love is about. I really hope you guys have a beautiful life as husband and wife… and we look forward to sending you anniversary gifts now and then!

I know exactly how you feel. My boyfriend and I just recently broke up because he cheated on me. There's a good possibility that he got me pregnant too, I'm just waiting to find out after I go to the doctor tomorrow. I hate what he did, but all the same, I could NEVER willingly kill my baby, even if it isn't exactly a baby yet. That's just me though. I'd agree with the whole adoption thing, I would personally never be able to give my child up, but it's a lot better than killing it. Plus, as stated above, there are a lot of people out there that can't have babies on their own, who would love to be able to love and raise yours. Think about it.

Hermann Receives CoSIDA Academic All-American Women's Soccer Team Honors
Published: 12/06/2012 |
MSOE women's soccer player Kate Hermann (Sycamore, Ill./ Sycamore H.S.) has been named to the Capital One / CoSida Academic All American First Team for women's soccer. She was a CoSida All District First Team selection in 2011-12
A senior midfielder, Hermann started in all 21 games played and had ten assists on the season. Herman led MSOE to a 7-5 Northern Athletics Conference record, 11-9-1 overall. She becomes the school's 12th Academic All-American, the most recent being Emily Dieringer in Track & Field in 2011-2012. Hermann is the school's third Academic All-American in the past two years.
Former MSOE student-athletes making the CoSIDA Academic All-American team includes the following: Jeff Brezovar (Men's Basketball: 1982, 1983), Rachel Eggebrecht (Women's At-Large, Cross Country: 1999), Matthew Schoenerr (Men's At-Large, Wrestling: 2004), Matt Hopf (Men's Basketball: 2004), Brian Soik (Men's At-Large, Ice Hockey: 2006-2007), Spencer Cook (Men's Soccer: 2007), Joel VandeBoom (Men's At-Large, Wrestling: 2009), Austin Meier (Men's Basketball: 2010, 2011), Women's Basketball (Carol Cayo: 2011, 2012) and Emily Dieringer (Women's At-Large, Cross-Country, Track and Field: 2012).
To be eligible for Academic All-American honors, a student-athlete must be a varsity starter or key reserve, maintain a cumulative grade point average of 3.30 on a scale of 4.00, have reached sophomore athletic and academic standing at his current institution and be nominated by his/her sports information director. They must first be chosen as a first team All-District selection to move into consideration for Academic All-American.
The Academic All-District teams are divided into eight geographic districts across the United States and Canada. This is the second year of the expanded program as CoSIDA moves from recognizing a University Division (Division I) and a College Division (all non Division I) and doubles the number of scholar-athletes honored. The teams include NCAA Division I, NCAA Division II and NCAA Division III participants, while the College Division team combines NAIA, Canadian and two-year schools.

Simply the best battery
By Roamer8
from Jefferson City, MO
About Me Photo Enthusiast
Comments about Duracell� Rechargeable AAA Batteries; 1.2V, 4-Pack:
Let's face it. The Duracell batteries are simply the best and longest lasting of all other batteries on the market. They are perfect for a wide variety of uses, not just photography. I also use them in my digital audio recorders, remote controls for televisions and stereos, for my indoor outdoor thermometer and for a number of other direct current battery operated devices around the office and home. Perhaps most of all, I like to use Duracell batteries in flashlights for the simple reason that I can always count upon having the flashlight work when needed. It is so exasperating to have the flashlight sit on the shelf for several weeks or months, and then when you need it most, everything is still dark. In other words in my humble opinion, Duracell has a great product which I readily command to family and friends. (681 character count per WordPerfect automatic character counter)

We've been using the AAA and AA sizes in mice, laser pointers, cd players, etc. Yea, they cost a bunch to buy, but the replace so many batteries you would bought anyway because you can recharge these.
Great in specific applications
By Rick

Best used in items which will tolerate the 17% lower voltage of the rechargeables and are used frequently. Cost savings can be substantial in items such as flashlights.

Best thread Ive read in months.
I am sure most of you punters out there all ready know that I have the computer knowledge and skills of a cane beetle.I have no idea if this forum software has the capacity for a live chat room (I kind of doubt it actually).May be it is getting time to get a decent more professional forum software in place that has more features?I was always intending to do this eventually anyway if the traffic warranted it.Regards Dave
The most popular thread all week and there isnt even any pictures. What is happening?At first glance it looks like a real serious discussion.On a serious note, yes everyone wants it. If it means less unrelated crap being posted in the reptile forum then yeah, go for it.On the other hand there are already numerous chat sites around that can be taken advantage of rather than wasting time setting one up on here.Try the chat on www.aussiepythons.com or www.theheatpit.com which was actually set up for people wanting to discuss reptiles untill it was taken over.Dont panic, this wasnt here to offend anyone so dont get all upset about it.CheersRoach

Despite playing better in Games 1 and 2, the Calgary Flames will head back to the Windy City all tied after winning Games 3 and 4.
There's a natural assumption the Calgary Flames are back in their series with Chicago because they're playing better playoff hockey on home ice.
by Brian Costello - April 22, 2009 3:37 PM EDT
Half a decade since meeting in the Stanley Cup final, the Chicago and Calgary goalies still hold the balance of a series in their hands.
It has been five years since the epic Stanley Cup final playoff battle between the Calgary Flames and Tampa Bay Lightning.
Five years since Martin Gelinas scored the phantom Cup winner on home ice in Game 6.
by Brian Costello - April 19, 2009 12:44 AM EDT
The kids were supposed to be learning in these playoffs, but it looks like they understand what it takes to win in the post-season already.
So much for the theory playoff inexperience will scupper the Chicago Blackhawks. Jonathan Toews, Patrick Sharp and Patrick Kane, in an offensive role, and Brent Seabrook and Duncan Keith, in a shutdown role, are playing like playoff giants in Chicago's 2-0 series lead against Calgary.
by Brian Costello - April 11, 2009 10:27 AM EDT
The upper-body/lower-body trend that has risen to popularity in the NHL over the last few years runs contradictory to standard practice of the information age.
I find the NHL's stand on injury disclosure extremely condescending and I'm not sure why.
The NHL used to have a regulation in place that encouraged teams to be forthright with injury details.
by Brian Costello - April 5, 2009 9:45 AM EDT
While the Hall opens its doors to a new class of eligible players, it still shuts out fans to the process.
Kudos to the Hockey Hall of Fame for its decision to open up a wing to the best the women's game has to offer.
With two openings every year, it'll be interesting and educational to see the names and order in which legends of the past filter into the shrine.
by Brian Costello - March 28, 2009 12:55 PM EDT
The Islanders are all but certain to finish last overall, but odds are they won't end up with the No. 1 draft pick.
It's one of hockey's great contradictions that gives the 30th place team in the NHL the best chance at winning the draft lottery, yet the odds are stacked against that team winning that same lottery.
by Brian Costello - March 22, 2009 9:50 AM EDT
They didn't have Hall of Fame careers, but plenty of players who've left the NHL recently deserve a respectful nod.
Yanic Perreault, where did you go?
Kevyn Adams, where did you go?
Chad Kilger, where did you go?
So much about NHL hockey revolves around the here and now that it's easy to forget the players who are not back with us this season.
by Brian Costello - March 15, 2009 10:25 AM EDT
Using THN's Future Watch 2009 as a guide, the draft order in 2008 would look quite different.
Here's an interesting look at how the 2008 NHL draft would have unfolded had it happened today rather than last June.
We do it with the help of the 22 NHL scouts who helped us put together our Future Watch issue.
by Brian Costello - February 28, 2009 10:20 AM EST
Sixteen of 21 teams used to make the post-season, so now with 30 clubs, increasing the number of playoff teams makes since.
The time has never been better to expand the NHL playoff structure from 16 to 20 teams.
It's way overdue. Come on, way back in the days of the Original 21, it was a 16-team playoff format.
by Brian Costello - February 22, 2009 10:50 AM EST
Projecting a top goaltending prospect is a tough task for both teams and magazine producers.
One neat aspect of putting together our Future Watch issue every season is seeing how scouts analyze the ever-so-difficult vocation of prospect goaltender.
by Brian Costello - February 7, 2009 9:59 AM EST
Ridding themselves of the super-pest helped, but righting the ship between the pipes is the No. 1 reason Big D's now in fifth place.
Make way for the Dallas Stars. They're doing a steady march up the Western Conference standings all the way from 14th a couple of months ago.
by Brian Costello - February 1, 2009 9:45 AM EST
Doug Gilmour's No. 93 was honored by the Maple Leafs Saturday night, but he's still not honored in hockey's Great Hall.

Manual Recliner Chair In Leather.
Widely known and respected, the Sherborne name on the distinctive label can now been seen on the largest ever selection of upholstery styles, from traditional Wing Chairs, Settees and Drop-end Sofas to the ultimate in relaxing, traditional through to modern Reclining Chairs, Reclining Settees and matching Suites.
Starting as a small family business 75 years ago, Sherborne has grown into one of the most successful upholstery companies in the United Kingdom with two factories and approximately 300 employees. Manufacturing all our own frames every piece is fully produced (not just assembled) in our factories in the North of England. Not only that, but with our excellent reputation for high quality, quick and efficient service and value for money, many of the designs in our range are established top sellers.
For over 75 years Sherborne has specialised in the manufacture of soft cover upholstery.
Important Info:All pile fabrics including chenilles are subject to a certain degree of shading or pile crush with frequent use. This is not a fabric fault, nor will it detract from the wearing properties of the material. The effect of pile crush can be minimised by regular brushing with a soft brush and occasional steaming where the pile is showing signs of wear.
In order to create the extra softness inherent in 'chaise'-type seatwraps it is important to remember that the upholstery is somewhat looser than in conventional seating, particularly as it cannot be pulled tightly from side to side. This may result in a little 'bagginess' or 'wrinkliness' appearing in certain fabrics which can usually be smoothed out by hand after use. It is also worth noting that with this type of upholstery horizontal seams in seating and joins in back cushions may become misaligned in use. When this happens it is advisable to re-align the affected areas by hand after use.
The type of furniture made has, not surprisingly, changed immensely in that time and has now evolved into a wonderful range of designs to choose from.REAL LEATHER:
- Recliner Chairs can be selected as Manual Recliners, Powered Recliners or Electric 'Lift & Rise' Recliners to aid sitting down and standing up again
- All Reclining Settees are also offered in Powered versions too and these are available in a tremendous choice of designs and sizes
- All Powered Recliners and Settees can now be chosen with a Rechargeable option, which removes the need to leave a cable running to the wall socket
- All Reclining Chairs and Settees are offered with a full range of matching furniture (which can be bought separately if you are just looking for a standard suite)
- Our popular Sofabeds are available in three sizes, again with a full range of matching pieces
- Traditional Fireside Chairs and Settees come in a wide array of sizes and styles including both Standard and High-seated versions
- Every piece is available in each one of over 125 quality fabrics in the three upmarket new Sherborne pattern books including stylish chenilles and plain and patterned velvets in both modern and traditional designs
- All Electric 'Lift & Rise' Recliners can be delivered to your stockist anywhere in mainland Britain on Express Delivery in the full range of popular covers. NEXT WORKING DAY DELIVERY is also available on one design of 'Lift & Rise' Recliner, in two sizes and two fabrics, for a small additional charge. Express Delivery is also available on a Compact Manual Recliner in three popular covers
Nothing quite compares with the genuine look, soft feel and wonderful smell of real Leather upholstery.Inherently cool in summer and warm in winter Leather offers character and individuality and is at the same time one of the most durable of all furniture covers.
- The Sherborne Leather Company offers a superb range of Recliner Chairs, Reclining and Fixed Settees and Suites, Fireside Chairs and luxurious Sofabeds all made entirely out of full genuine hides - no split hides or vinyls - to ensure that what you buy will stand the test of time
- The entire collection is available in a wide selection of qualities, colours and finishes including bold and subtle plains and characterful Antique effects. Whether you choose a standard or a wonderfully soft-feel semi-aniline quality you can select a more modern or a more traditional appearance according to your taste and your furnishing scheme
- All Recliners and Reclining Sitters are offered in Manual and Powered versions. A new Rechargeable Powered Option can also be chosen, with no need to leave a cable running across the floor to the wall socket
- All Electric 'Lift & Rise' designs can be delivered to the your stockist anywhere in mainland Britain on Express Delivery in the entire range of Leathers
- As Leather is a natural material it is worth remembering to expect certain natural characteristics in the finish of your furniture
- No two hides are exactly alike and all bear the marks of their origin. It is important to realise that these are not faults but features which enhance the natural beauty and character of your furniture. Typical examples would be neck wrinkles, scars, insect bites, veins and growth lines which, combined with Leather's natural ability to mellow and improve with age, blend into a patina unique to each piece
- Leather stretches and creases in its own individual way, particularly in the first few weeks of use, so creasing on cushion tops can be expected
Q. I live in a flat, will you take my new furniture upstairs, when you deliver?
A. Yes, the shop4furniture delivery team will deliver your new furniture into a room of your choice, whether up or down stairs.
Q. Could you remove my old furniture when you deliver?
A. No, unfortunately we cannot remove old furniture. However, most good councils offer a furniture removal service that will arrange disposal of such items.
Q. Can I Get VAT Relief?
A. The zero-rating of goods and services for disabled people depends in part upon the status of the recipient, as well as the items being purchased.

Biografie van El Topo
''El Topo'' (''The Mole'') is a 1970 allegorical, cult western movie and underground film, directed by and starring Alejandro Jodorowsky. Characterized by its bizarre characters and occurrences, use of maimed and dwarf performers, and heavy doses of Christian symbolism and Eastern philosophy, the film is about the eponymous character - a violent, black-clad gunfighter - and his quest for enlightenment. For many years the film could only be seen at midnight screenings, in arthouses and via video bootlegs until its official DVD release on May 1st, 2007.

At the July meeting of the Lower Eastern Shore Beekeepers Association, Dean Burroughs stood before the club and said,
"Now is the time to extract your honey! If you haven't extracted honey from you hives yet, get ready to. If you don't know how to, don't worry; you'll be leaving this meeting sticky tonight."
The words that Burroughs, the Lower Easter Shore Beekeepers Association (LESBA) President, spoke were true. Everyone left the meeting with fingers covered in fresh, sticky honey.
The University of Maryland Extension Office on Nanticoke Road in Salisbury was filled with roughly 30 beekeepers. The Beekeepers Association is made up of a multitude of characters; farmers, gardeners, hobbyists, educators, and nature buffs of all shapes, sizes, ages, and experience levels. One a month the keepers meet to learn about and discuss different bee-related subjects.
The topic of discussion during the last meeting was honey extraction.
Beekeepers traditionally harvest honey at the conclusion of a substantial nectar flow. On the Eastern Shore of Maryland, this usually happens twice a year: mid-summer and mid-fall. Local beekeepers have been monitoring their hives, looking for cured, capped honey.
It's easiest to harvest honey during a hot sunny day. The honey comb will be warm and fluid rather than viscous. Ron Wilson, a beekeeper with 18 individual hives from Parsonsburg, MD, brought in several bars of comb filled with honey to show the group an extraction. Wilson is Vice-President of the club. His bars of capped honey were warmed from the sun and exemplary tools.
Ron Wilson, LESBA Vice President, uses an uncapping knife to strip the top layer of wax off of a bar of honey comb. |
Burroughs used an uncapping knife, a large steel knife plugged into the wall that rises to a set temperature to make cutting through bees wax easy, to cut the top sliver off of several bars of honey comb. He arranged the bars in a large silver tub balanced on 3 legs with a large hand-crank emerging from the side.
"This extractor works kind of like a bicycle tire. It has spokes that rotate around the center. You just place a bar of honey comb, straight from the hive, in the machine and then crank it so it spins. It just throws honey off of both sides and it gathers in the basin below," said Wilson while demonstrating the process and spinning the crank by hand.
The interior of a honey extractor. The hand-cranked machine spins the bars of honey comb forcing the honey to run out of the comb and gather at the bottom of the barrel. The honey is then drained through a spout. |
He had 4 bars of honey in the extractor and a 5 gallon bucket with a strainer placed below the machine. Honey was pouring out of the extractor's spout.
Although some beekeepers prefer not to use extractors – they'd simply rather prefer eating and using waxy honey combs – they are very efficient. For those who have multiple hives, like both Burroughs and Wilson, extractors make sense. After centrifugal force and gravity is used to extract the honey from the combs, it passes through filters, is drained into a pail, and left to sit. Within 48 hours, the wax and comb debris will rise to the top of the sticky substance and clean, clear honey can be drained from the bottom of the bucket via a spout.
Raw honey pours out of an extractor machine. The honey is strained before entering a 5-gallon bucket. The spouted bucked will be used to filled individual honey jars. |
LESBA members plan to extract their own honey this month. The club is preparing to enter the Maryland State Beekeeper's Association's Annual Honey and Honey Cookery Show this fall. LESBA has a goal to win one important award at this year's Honey Show: Best Honey as a Club.
On November 10th, 2012, Jerry Fischer, a Maryland Honey Show judge from the Department of Agriculture's Office of Apiary Inspection, will present an award to a Maryland bee association whose members earn the highest number of points based on the number of quality products entered in the show. All entries must be a product of the exhibitor's bees and have been produced within a 12-month period prior to entry. All honey exhibited must have been gathered and ripened in a natural way by honey bees.
If all 30 LESBA members enter at least one jar, container, frame, or block of honey, the club is almost guaranteed to win.
"Some people think that just because we're from the Eastern Shore that we're behind when it comes to beekeeping. We don't think so. We've got great honey. I want to go to that show in Annapolis and sweep the contest," said Burroughs.
"Then they'll really be talking about all of those beekeepers on the Shore," he added with a laugh.
Several LESBA members have extracted some honey this season. Others are waiting to see how the fall season treats them. This summer's droughts, scattered rainstorms, and high temperatures have made the season difficult for some beekeepers; others are having a bountiful season.
The honey not extracted from bee hives will remain capped in the hive for the bees to use themselves. Bees eat honey though the winter because pollen-filled flowers are not available. Some beekeepers feed their bees a homemade sugar-syrup all winter long so they can extract more honey in the summer and fall and know that their bees will be fine during the colder months.
The Maryland State Beekeeper's Association Honey Show takes place in Annapolis, MD on November 10th. Expect to hear about the Lower Eastern Shore Beekeepers Associations coming home with some prize ribbons.

I'm back from a mini-break to Namibia and then Easter with my in-laws, and while I was away I did not a jot of writing. But I did do lots of thinking about writing. In fact, I'm pretty desperate to chronicle my trip in typed words.
I think that writing helps me to crystallise the random thoughts flitting through my head into some sort of order. It also gives me something concrete to look back to, when I want to remember the holiday and how I felt at the time, what we saw, experiences we had. It also inspires my other writing. Yes, I find that often my unpaid, heartfelt scribblings that seem to gush forth onto my screen with so much more ease that my commissioned work are the inspiration I need to do the tougher jobs.
I've tried to explain this to myself before and I honestly believe that amid the deadline-driven client-orientated work that makes up the majority of my days, I sometimes lose the magic of writing. I forget why I love it. I lose the urge to write and forget the way that words can come together so beautifully to express a thought, a feeling or an experience.
When I take the time to just sit down and write for myself, I feel refreshed. Once I'm done letting the words tumble out, without questioning whether the grammar is perfect or if a client will agree with a particular term, I am reminded why I love what I do. And I'm ready to tackle my writing jobs with relish again.
This also provides me with a very good reason to take a holiday once in awhile!

Food quality is there but the size is the part that is missing. The meat and cheeses are maybe 2 inch's long and an inch wide. Maybe good for a on the go sort of snack if that. I'll be avoiding these from now on.
