Michigan game for the final marble
COLUMBUS — The blue vase sits on Jim Tressel's desk, a constant reminder of what was and what is still to come. Problem is, the past is full of what was, and the future is thin on what is left.
A season that started with such hope, such promise of an outright Big Ten championship and possible berth in the national championship game is down to one lousy marble. After tomorrow, that will be gone, too.
The Ohio State players have been slowly losing their marbles all year. Tressel started a ritual before the season began, handing each senior a glass case that his wife, Ellen, personalized for each player.
On the outside was the player's name and number, along with the letters O-S-U. Inside were 12 marbles: six gray for the first six home games, five red for the five away games and one blue.
It isn't difficult to figure out the symbolism behind the blue marble, given this week's opponent.
Every Friday during the season, the seniors were required to visit Tressel's office at some point and deposit the corresponding marble. The idea was to provide a concrete illustration for the players to understand and cherish what little time they had left at Ohio State. It seems to have left the desired effect.
"It's crazy to think about that because obviously the blue marble was placed strategically at the bottom of our case," senior tight end Rory Nicol said. "To look at that case now and know that that's it, we're not scared to turn it in, but this season has flown by for all of us seniors."
It's not unusual for Tressel to come up with some tactic over the summer that ensures the seniors grasp what little time they have left. This season, he adopted the idea of the blue vase from the story "The Go-Getter," written by Peter B. Kyne.
Kyne writes about a man, Bill Peck, who was tested by his boss to bring him back a blue vase. Peck, whose left forearm is amputated halfway to the elbow, also walks with a slight limp due to a broken leg that took too long to heal. His boss sends him on a wild adventure in search for this vase, giving his employee bad directions and throwing up every imaginable hindrance along the way to ensure Peck had no chance of success.
To the surprise of his boss, Peck indeed does capture the vase, and he presents it to him on a train in the middle of the night. He was rewarded with a grand promotion. Continued...
"After all the things the guy put him through, he ended up getting the vase to him," senior special teams standout Shaun Lane said. "When you put your marble in the vase, that's the commitment that you're making to the team: Whatever your job is, you will do it."
If all had gone according to plan, the perfect ending to the vase story would have been if the Buckeyes still had a chance at playing for all the marbles — as in the national championship game in Miami. That vase was shattered in October, though, on a Saturday night in the Horseshoe against Penn State.
So instead of dreaming about their big promotion, the seniors instead will file into Tressel's office tomorrow and deposit all that remains inside their glass case. There is no formal ceremony; some players elect to go through the process themselves, others travel in packs.
"It's a simple thing in reality. It's just marbles dropping into a vase," punter A.J. Trapasso said. "If you think about it, and realize that five years ago I had 50 or 60 of those marbles in there, and now it's all the way down to one. It's bittersweet. I almost don't want to give it up, but I want to play this game. So it's bittersweet."
For a guy like Nader Abdallah, that blue marble and Michigan represent so many transitions. He watched the family business get washed away in New Orleans by Hurricane Katrina, which in part helped him mature and become a man.
"It is unbelievable how much I have grown," Abdallah said. "I came here and I was a boy that was lost and I didn't know which way to go. I was doing maybe some things that I wasn't supposed to be doing or not as much as I needed to do. The last two years I think that I have grown so much and changed my life around. My attitude is good and my work ethic is great, and the coaches are on my side now ... All the things I have been through here have made me stronger as a man, so I am very happy with what this university has taught me."
At some point tomorrow, every senior on the team will find his way into Tressel's office and deposit his final marble.
And that will be that.
The Michigan game will kick off, bowl practice will follow, the players will enjoy one final bowl game together, and then they will disperse. Malcolm Jenkins and James Laurinaitis to the NFL, Lane to the work world and guys like Nicol and Trapasso will fall somewhere in between.
Perhaps they can latch on to an NFL team for a few years, perhaps not. For now, they will embrace each other and the final piece of sand in their possession, before it, too, slips through the hourglass. Continued...
"That's one of the hardest things of this week. You have to balance so much, especially for the seniors," Nicol said. "There's the emotion of the rivalry, this is the biggest game of our lives. This is our last game in the 'Shoe. You get to walk out with your parents. The last time you're going to be with your coaches and fellow players during the regular season and it's a sad time. It's hard for me to think about it.
"You turn that marble in and hope you spent it well."

Many people have heard the saying that cash flow is king in the business world. The fact of the matter really is that cash flow is one of the most important aspects of a successful business if not the most important one. Cash flow is what keeps the financial markets all over the world functioning and making progress. It is essential that your business have proper cash flow and a good understanding about how to make this happen.
Business doesn't happen until goods or services exchange hands and money of some kind is offered in return. This is the basic cash flow process. A service is offered and a monetary exchange is enacted to secure the transaction. If this process isn't completed, then no business can function properly and progress in the business world would stop. Many businesses put more stress on profits than on cash flow and this is one of the biggest reasons that new businesses fail. It doesn't matter how much profit you make on a sale or shipping a crate of your products if there isn't any kind of money flowing through the system.

Nuckols Farm named Blue Ribbon School
Henrico's Nuckols Farm Elementary School was one of nine Virginia schools named a 2012 National Blue Ribbon School today. U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan visited Arlington Traditional Elementary School in Arlington County earlier today to announce the schools that earned the designation. The Blue Ribbon Schools Program honors public and private K-12 schools that are either academically superior or that demonstrate dramatic gains in student achievement. Nuckols Farm was the only school in the Richmond region honored today. "Each of these schools is at the center of a community where students, parents, teachers, the principal and everyone else at the school — from the office staff to the bus drivers — share high expectations for learning and achievement," Virginia Superintendent of Public Instruction Patricia I. Wright said. Nuckols Farm and six of the other schools earned awards earlier this year through the Virginia Index of Performance program. Nuckols Farm earned the Governor's Award for Educational Excellence. The U.S. Department of Education will honor all of the nation's 2012 National Blue Ribbon Schools during a conference and awards ceremony Nov. 12-13 in Washington, DC. |

Dear Editor,
In her attempt to defend the honor of NCTC, I am afraid Ms. White added a few misleading remarks and inaccuracies of her own. I would like to take this opportunity to explain a few of them. Regarding the CEO's salary she compared her Total Pay to the former CEO's Total Compensation Package. I can only assume that means she included non-salary related compensation, such as the payment for unused vacations and sick leave that is accrued and accounted for every year on the Cooperatives books by its auditors. This is paid out to all NCTC employees upon retirement under the approved policies of the Board.
If this is the case it is certainly misleading and may mean that the CEO's salary is actually higher than what the Actual salary of the former CEO was. A salary by the way which was also based on the 40 years of Rural Telephone Cooperative Service, 24 years of which were as the CEO of NCTC.
In the past the salaries of the CEO and all salaried employees were approved by the Board based on the surveys and performance reviews of the personnel. At no time did NCTC pay at or above the Industry averages, in fact it was generally well below the averages. The cost separations procedures described by Ms. White were actually implemented many years ago by former management and approximately 65% of the CEO's compensation was always recovered through that process. I am pleased to know that the Cooperative is continuing to take advantage of the programs that have been in place for some time.
During past years we used many highly qualified Consultants to help take advantage of every legitimate expense or Capital improvement we could take. It is a fact that the more investment you make in your plant the more return you can obtain from the cost separations process. It is also true that this compensation system is under threat of being severely reduced or eliminated by the current Federal Communications Commission. If this were to happen the Cooperative would need to have alternative plans to generate the necessary income to meet their expense and debt repayment.
I am glad to see that NCTC is continuing to grow and prosper and hope that it continues. A significant part of that growth in Income is being generated through the use of North Central Communications, a company that was formed a number of years ago to invest and provide ownership in some very successful companies like Bluegrass Cellular, IRIS Networks, our Multi State Fiber Network Company as well as the North Central Security Service. These companies are providing significant profits to NCTC. It is difficult to build a successful company without a strong foundation. I have always been and remain proud of NCTC and its many accomplishments. From the time it was formed by Visionaries like Will Hall Sullivan, William Bill Green, Elder Calvin Gregory and Harris Howser it has been recognized as a National leader in the rural telecommunications industry and remains so today.
It is successful today because of the hard work and dedication of its many Employees and Board Members both active and retired and their dedication to serving the members. Let's hope the actions of a few of them don't harm the rest. These are my own personal comments and are offered for your consideration. It is in everyone's interest to see NCTC continue to thrive and prosper.
F. Thomas Rowland,
Retired President and CEO, NCTC

I've been searching around on this site for quite some time and after learning so much decided it was time for me to make an attempt to give back. I wanted to make a pocket pen pick set. I first searched for some ideas. The most common pen pick is this http://www.lockpickshop.com/SO-212.html. If you keep searching you'll come across this http://www.hpcworld.com/Picks/p_vips14.htm. If you look deep within the depths of the internet you'll come across this beauty http://www.electromax.com/lockpicking.html. This final pen pick design is what I based my homebrew on.
My first step was to find a suitable hollow body pen that can house the picks. After searching around I came across this http://www.sharpie.com/enUS/Product/Sha ... arker.html. I picked one up at Target for around 10 bucks.
After I found a good host I needed to figure out how I was going to couple the body of the pen to the piece which was to hold the pick. I wanted to find a way to screw the two together as the Sharpie already has threads built into it. However, I realized that an x-acto no.2 (for searching purposes… exacto, xacto, x acto, ex-acto) knife is approximately the same outside diameter as the inside diameter of the sharpie shaft. In other words, they pressure fit together nicely. I proceeded to cut the x-acto no.2 knife about 1 inch below the knurling.
When making your picks I recommend making the base of the pick in the same shape as the base of the x-acto blade. It makes for a very snug fit and will not move around when picking. When you have finished making your desired picks and tension wrench/es simply put everything together. Remember, it is all pressure fitted. I recommend closing everything up in this order: 1. Place the x-acto tip firmly into the cap of the pen. 2. Place the picks inside the shaft. 3. Place the end of the x-acto tip (which is now affixed to the cap) into the shaft.
I took some pictures because, well, they say a picture is worth a thousand words. Hope this helps!

Website Optimization Company Tampa Florida based company & offices in Sydney, New Delhi, India is a leading Professional SEO Services, Expert SEO Services, Organic Search Engine Optimization SEO Services provider company. We are SEO Company based in New Delhi India dedicated to help our clients for Search Engine Placement, Search Engine Ranking, Search Engine Positioning, Search Engine Promotion, Search Engine Consultancy, Organic SEO Marketing Search Engine Marketing & Pay Per Click Services.
Developing a creative website design for your company includes some important steps which need to be detailed, analyzed, and implemented well. Creating a unique website design that has an aesthetic value is not really easy. The idea of creating such a piece of excellence is because of developing a concept through research and then, creating an art work that is attractive and valuable.
An efficient website would be produced after stacking it with different elements in their right proportions and right place. There are many steps which are involved in the entire process. Take a look at the step-by-step procedure of creating a great website design for your company.
Discuss and Brainstorm
This step involves a lot of discussions and communication with colleagues, experts, customers, etc to find out some subtle answers before creating the website design. After this survey and brainstorming session, you should be able to identify the target audience, market segment, important information and theme of the site which you want to impart to the audience. Also, check out the timelines and money required for the site, and Internet Marketing tricks to make it a successful site.
Expert Selection
Have you decided on the expert or the website designer? If you are hiring a web design company, you should know how to choose a proper one from millions available in the market. If you are selecting a single designer or a company, make sure you get satisfactory answers on how the firm is likely to communicate with its client, and what results it is proposing.
After you have picked up some positive answers, try to also find out what other clients have to say. What websites this firm has created already and also the experience of the website designing team. Don't forget to find out the monitoring of how that website is performing the online world. The after-sales service should also be efficient.
Also, website designing does not mean the end of your online endeavor. A good firm would also have some definite answers on how well the hosting would be and how effortlessly the website could be tweaked for the search engine optimization (SEO).
Concept Breakout
Finally, a blueprint is formed. You need to now look into how well that blueprint is catering to the needs you had mentioned during the brainstorming session. Now is the chance to tweak, alter, and re-design if required, etc. You can come up with questions and ask the firm to give you a valuable answer to them.
Creative Web Design
In this step, the website is created by graphic artists and integrated by the techies. Care must be taken that the website design integration is as per search engine-friendly spiders.
Testing the website is the last step but very important step if you are trying to make a prestigious website. The bugs should be removed and edited to give the final touch to the site. Seek reviews and comments from experts, colleagues, etc to see if the website is just apt for what you were looking for.
All in all, these steps must be diligently followed to ensure you create a creative website design for your company.

"My name is Megan Chase. In less than 24 hours, I'll be 17. Although, technically, I won't actually be turning 17. I've been in the Nevernever too long. When you're in Faery, you don't age. So while a year has passed in the real world, agewise I'm probably only a few days older than when I went in. In real life, I've changed so much I don't even recognize myself.
"I thought it was over. That my time with the fey, the impossible choices I had to make, the sacrifices of those I loved, was behind me. But a storm is approaching, an army of Iron fey that will drag me back, kicking and screaming. Drag me away from the banished prince who's sworn to stand by my side. Drag me into the core of conflict so powerful, I'm not sure anyone can survive it.
"This time, there will be no turning back."
©2011 Julie Kagawa (P)2011 Audible, Inc.
"From early on, the adrenaline rush starts, and doesn't let up until the back cover is closed." (Teens Read Too)
"The Iron Queen"
The 3rd book in the Iron Fey series is super. I don't want to write a long review, but this is the kind of book that I ache when I stop reading it. I wish I could read it all the time. I can't wait until the Iron Knight comes out in Nov! Khristine Hvam does a fantastic job reading. Loved every bit of it!
"Great Writer and Narrator"
This one ( the third book ) was not as good as the first two because it was very predictable. However it was still good and I would recommend it. There was a very small amount of sexual verbiage but enough not to let a child read it. I would say it is mature level.
I have not read the novellas and probably will not. I may purchase the new novel that is from Ash's POV but I am not familiar with the narrator which can make or break an audiobook. If I can hear a sample and like it then I will buy it.
"Tween/Teen but good"
I really like the series and although I am not addicted as I was to Twilight, I am a follower of the series. It is a great story line, well developed characters, and it gets me out of my daily bore in to a world of fairy folk. Can't ask for more. Author is great. Narration is also very good.
"Young Adult book, very good"
I listenined to all 3, although I won't most likely re-listen, I did like the series, thought I DO THINK ITS MORE FOR THE 14-20 ages, its story is a love story, a story of change and adjustment and doing what must be done to save the lives of family and friends,,,
"The prediction we all made in book 1 comes true!"
I have listened to the entire Meghan Chase arc of the Iron Fey series including The Iron King, Winter's Passage, The Iron Daughter, The Iron Queen, Summer's Crossing, The Iron Knight, and Iron's Prophecy. I also plan to listen to the Ethan Chase arc beginning in The Lost Prince. I'm fairly certain that I'll listen to The Blood of Eden series by Julie Kagawa.
I don't know that I'd follow Khristine Hvam to any other novel, but Id be pleasantly surprised to find her reading another book that I listened to.
This is the same exact question as above, Audible.
I liked that she had distinct voices for all the characters that made a dialogue very easy to follow while listening to it.
The Iron Queen seemed to pass fairly quickly. I listened while at work and enjoyed the story while still being able to focus on work. It's a fun and light book.
More Ash and Meghan romangst. If you love it, you'll love this book.
"Perfect Performance and Story"
Hvam's performance is a wonderful listen and adds a richness to the Iron Fey series.
I really enjoy Khristine Hvam and will not hesitate to purchase any book that she performs.
"Long live the queen"
Meghan becoming the Iron Queen.
Meghan's reunion with her dad was nice. I did not like how Puck's secret about his involvement with Meghan's dad was relieved.
For as much as I read and listen you would think by now that I would know how to spell lol. I read at least 5 books a week there are times I have gotten up to 10 in a week.
Finally this author has came in to her own. The first 2 books in this series you could see that she must of been a new author trying to find her way and she finally found it when it came to this book!
I absolutely loved this one in the series. I did not struggle with it at all as I did with the previous books. I think she finally found her balance with her targeted audience and well.....just everything finally seem to of came together in her writing this time.
Loved the action, the new faces ( Razor) such a loveable lil guy. The twist and turns...some you see coming others you do not. I do not want to say too much and spoil it so I will just say This one makes up for any struggles or issues you MAY of had with the first books in this series and DO NOT STOP now!
I am just happy that I did not give up on this series and have already started the next book.
I loved it. The 3rd book in the series takes the characters to new and twisting adventures as they follow their paths in life.
"Helps you escape the real world"
The book has a very twisting and intricate plot with many interesting characters. You seem to go off into another world with different rules of society entirely.

Wednesday: Chat live with Damian Cristodero
Anders Lindback in net tonight for Tampa Bay Lightning against the Panthers and old friend Jacob Markstrom
Anders Lindback gets the start in net tonight for the Lightning against the Panthers. It's an important game as the loser falls to the bottom of the league standings.
But Lindback also faces Florida goaltender Jacob Markstrom, a lifelong friend from the town of Gavle, Sweden.
"We were pretty close," Lindback said. "We grew up together about two blocks away from each other, the families knew each other. We played on the same team for quite a while too in the same organization."
That would be Brynas IF Gavle, for which Lindback played from 2005-09. Markstrom was there from 2007-10. Lindback was drafted 207th overall by the Predators in 2008. Markstrom was drafted 31st overall the same year by the Panthers.
Asked if it will be weird to play against his buddy, Lindbck said, "Since we played on the same team, we're used to competing against each other because we were competing for ice time. You always want to be the No. 1 and you always want to win, so it's not a big deal at all. He's kind of far away from me, too, in the game."
Besides, he added, "There's no friends out there tonight. I'm looking forward to being able to help the team win."
Other stuff from the morning skate: Coach Guy Boucher said he likely will go with seven defensemen for the game with the Panthers, primarily to help ease Radko Gudas into the flow in his first NHL game. "That way it gives us the possibility and the luxury of making different pairs to help him, not give him too much ice time so he can't swallow it," Boucher said. "Try to ease him in, give him ice time but ice time that's manageable so we don't expose him." … If Boucher goes with seven defensemen, Marc-Andre Bergeron will come in. Brian Lee, who has really struggled lately, is scratched. "Just give him a thinker tonight," Boucher said, "pull back a little bit, give him time to think and refocus, so he's back better when he comes back." … Lee, by the way, is minus-13. Only two of 751 listed players are worse. … As one would expect, there was much talk about Gudas' ever-growing beard which he has not shaved since Dec. 31. It's gotten so bushy it has taken on a life of its own in that someone has started a twitter account called RadkoGudasBeard, and AHL Syracuse even had a Fear the Beard night. Asked why he started growing the beard, Gudas joked, "It's cold in Syracuse. It keeps me warm." Asked what it will take for him to shave it, Gudas added to reporters, "I don't know. You guys are going to have to come up with something." Gudas said the beard is a result of several factors. First, he is lazy and did not shave when he was in Florida for Lightning training camp. Then, the Crunch took a bonding trip to Lake Placid, so he didn't have there. And when the Fear the Beard promotion was coming up, well, he couldn't shave then. And so here we are. "He's got a great beard," Boucher said. "I don't know if it makes him scarier or weirder, but I'll take whatever he's wearing if he plays like I've seen him play."
??Lightning minor moves: Gudas promoted, Mikkelson demoted, Sexton acquired in trade

Ryan Malone ready to return to Tampa Bay Lightning's lineup
The Lightning should get a boost tonight against the Jets when left wing Ryan Malone returns to the lineup after missing 13 games with a lower-body injury.
"It feels good," Malone said. "I think we just took our time with it and went through the rehab properly. So, it feels good, and I'm excited to get back for a big game."
Malone, 33, was hurt before the Feb. 10 game at the Rangers during the team's usual soccer ball kick-around. Malone said he aggravated an existing condition when he tried to kick the ball.
It took so Malone so long to get back, he said, because the team wanted him completely healed before he got back on the ice. A good plan as Malone has been injury prone. He has not played more than 70 games in any of his four previous Tampa Bay seasons, and in 20010-11 played only 54.
"We didn't want to come back too early for any reason," Malone said. "You want to do everything you can to help the team, but you want to make sure you do everything you can not to get injured again."
"Nothing is like a game," Malone added, "but as much body contact as I could get in practice, we did. I'm fully healed and ready."
Expect Malone, who has four goals and five points in 10 games, to take his usual turns on the power play and penalty kill, though coach Guy Boucher said he will monitor Malone's minutes.
"He hasn't played in a long timer, so I have to be smart and give him the minutes he can manager," Boucher said. "I'm going to have to hold it back a little bit so he can look good on the ice."
Other stuff from the morning skate: With Malone back in the lineup, sounds as if forward Adam Hall will be scratched. … Center Steven Stamkos, with a league-best 17 goals, did not skate but is expected to play. Boucher said Stamkos simply deserved a rest. … Defensemen Marc-Ander Bergeron and Brendan Mikkelson also will be scratched. … As expected, Anders Lindback will be in net against Winnipeg. … Goaltender Mathieu Garon on Wednesday had an MRI exam on the lower body injury that forced him out of Monday's game at Pittsburgh. He said the exam came back all clear and he will skate Friday and then re-evaluate. … Captain Vinny Lecavalier's production has fallen off recently, but it coincides with his left foot injury, sustained Feb. 2, when he took a slap shot from teammate Sami Salo flush off the left foot. Lecavalier has two goals and nine points in 15 games since then. Before the injury he had four goals and 11 points in eight games. "It's been tough for him," Boucher said. "It affects his push-off, it affects his timing. Eventually, it's his confidence. He was just trying to survive out there." But Lecavalier has shown signs of a rebound with three assists in his past two games. His two-point effort Tuesday at New Jersey was his best overall since his injury. "I definitely feel stronger now," he said. "It feels better every day." Asked if a game or two off would have helped, Lecavalier said sitting out was never seriously considered, especially with the team struggling. "You want to be part of it," he said. "You want to keep pushing through as a player. You ask any guys in this room. If the same thing happened, they would do the same thing. They want to keep playing and want to keep going." … Rookie Cory Conacher said the head shot he took Tuesday from New Jersey's Cam Janssen "hurt a little" but "I tried to get up as fast as I could to show no pain." Janssen left his feet and used his shoulder to hit Conacher. Janssen got a charging penalty. There was no supplementary discipline from the league. "It was my fault for not guarding myself a little better and expecting the hit," Conacher said, and added about teammate Victor Hedman confronting Janssen, "It's the type of teammate you want. It's important to have guys like that on your team. It shows a lot of character. You have to appreciate him doing that for me. … Terry Crisp, the Lightning's first coach and now a television analyst for the Predators, will be honored at tonight's game as part of Tampa Bay's 20th anniversary celebration.
??Video: Nate Thompson talks about the win over the Devils
Lightning center Nate Thompson talks about the 5-2 win over the Devils at the Prudential Center in Newark, N.J, and his career-best two-goal game.
??Injury to Tampa Bay Lightning goaltender Mathieu Garon not believed serious
Tampa Bay Lightning goaltender Mathieu Garon said he felt a lot better Tuesday and does not believe his lower-body injury is serious.
In fact, Garon, listed as day to day, said he hopes to be ready to play "in a couple of days."
"We'll have to test it on the ice, but in a couple of days, hopefully, I'll be good."
In the meantime, Cedrick Desjardins was called up from AHL Syracuse and will be the backup to Anders Lindback tonight at New Jersey.
Garon, who was having another superb game Monday against the Penguins, was hurt early in the second period as he twisted himself to prepare for a shot. And he, in fact, made a terrific save on Evgeni Malkin's one-timer from in front of the net.
But at the next break in the action, Garon was looked at by head athletic trainer Tommy Mulligan and left the game at 2:19 of the period after stopping 12 of 13 shots.
Garon, whose 2011-12 season ended in a March 6 game against the Senators because of a torn groin, said his current injury has nothing to do with any previous problem, though he declined to give specifics
So did coach Guy Boucher
"It's day-to-day," he said. "We'll see but right now it's not something to fall off a bridge for."
Garon has played in six consecutive games for Tampa Bay, including five starts. He is just 1-4-0 in that stretch but has a respectable 2.61 goals-against average and .912 save percentage.
Other stuff from the morning: Left wing Ryan Malone will miss his 13th game with a lower body injury. Boucher said malone had a hard practice Tuesday, the results of which might go a long way to determining when Malone plays, but it will not be against the Devils. … Other than Lindback in net and Desjardins as the backup, Boucher said he will go with the same lineup as in Monday's 4-3 loss to the Penguins. … Ondrej Palat got good reviews for his first NHL game Monday in which he had 9:28 of ice time and his first NHL point, an assist, on Tom Pyatt's goal. "The guys are bigger and quicker and the first couple of shifts I looked around, how is it to play in the NHL," Palat said. "But after a couple of shifts I felt pretty comfortable and played my game." As for gaining his first NHL point, Palat said, "I'm very happy, but too bad we lost the game." … Pyatt could have sustained some major damage Monday when Nate Thompson's deflected shot hit him under his nose. Instead, the puck deflected off him and floated past crouching goalie Marc-Andre Fleury. Pyatt said he didn't even know he had scored until his teammates began celebrating. "I was down on my knees checking my teeth," Pyatt said. … Another reason we like Pierre-Cedric Labrie. When Pittsburgh's Deryk Engelland slipped and fell during his fight with Labrie, Labrie stopped fighting. "I fought him before, like three years ago in Manitoba," Labrie said. "I remember I slipped and while I was down he just stopped, a loyal player. I respect that kind of player for sure."

When I was doing my field work, I carried the Taurus Judge loaded with the .45 LC. It was a bit bulky but at the time it was the only pistol I had. Right know I own a Springfield 1911 A-1, Springfield XDM 9mm and the Judge. Thinkning about getting a Compact Kimber probably in a .40 so I can get my CC.
I'm a huge Glock fan, and love the .40 S&W cartridge. Can't go wrong. That is, if you just have to have a semi-auto. I prefer revolvers.
The Springfield XD is a great gun, also, but no conversions available that I know of. Probably will be one day soon.
Really, I think you'll enjoy it as is, and won't need the conversion, unless you plan on doing lots of target shooting and want to same money on ammo. I use mine for small game and javelina, etc. with good success and lots of fun.
The one I carry most, though, is a 3" barrel .357 mag Ruger GP100. Love revolvers.

Tour gives peek into the heart of local art
By RICHARD D. OXLEY
Bainbridge Island Review Staff Writer
November 26, 2012 · Updated 1:08 PM
There's few ways to tell that the holiday season has arrived on Bainbridge Island.
The air carries the scent of fireplaces heating homes. The streets in downtown Winslow are illuminated with holiday lights. And the Bainbridge Island Winter Studio Tour opens its doors.
Ten doors, actually. The island's own studio tour has been providing a journey through the local art scene for decades. Now in its 29th year, it is poised to continue the winter tradition with 10 locations, each hosting an extensive lineup of quality, and unique, arts and crafts vendors.
"It's very festive and up-beat," said Dinah Satterwhite, manager of the studio tour. "A lot of people say that it is part of their holiday tradition."
The tour is a self-guided journey through the heart of local art. Some stops on the tour are even the artists' own studios, such as Hidden Cove Pottery, the Mesolini Glass Studio, the Robert Spangler Studio and the Siebert Pottery Studio.
With the extensive line-up, more artists will be housed in locations such as the island's Grange Hall and the Seabold Hall.
A full map of the tour is available on its website at www.bistudiotour.com.
Bainbridge Island hosts two studio tours a year; one for winter and one for summer. The winter studio tour brings out a range of artists from painters to jewelers to furniture craftsmen. There's something for everyone.
"It's definitely more of an intimate feeling (than the summer tour)," Satterwhite said. "It's better attended, too. I would say it attracts close to double the people."
The winter tour also tends to attract more artists, which says a lot
given that the summer tour boasts more than
50 artists.
This year's winter tour has 71 artists lined up so far.
In addition to crafts and art, the tour will also hosts its fair share of musical acts to add to the ambiance. Food and drinks will also be available.

The wardrobe stylist agency announces it's first fashion eBook. Identifying nine common style types which help the wardrobe stylist better assist clients. Copies of the eBook are available via the company's website, http://www.urbandarling.com.
Silicon Valley, Calif. (PRWEB) January 30, 2013
Urban Darling, the San Francisco Bay Area-based boutique wardrobe stylist agency known for "closet audits" and its "Purge, Merge, Splurge" approach to wardrobe repair, announced today that it will publish the eBook, 9 Types of Style, on Wednesday, January 30th. The eBook will be the first in a series of four to be released throughout 2013.
The 9 Types of Style eBook explores style types commonly seen by Urban Darling wardrobe stylists, from the classic to the unexpected. The wardrobe stylists have deemed the nine styles:
"We believe that these nine styles are alive and well in our modern age," says Urban Darling founder, Corinne Phipps, "but we also acknowledge that style is subjective. This eBook is meant to inspire women to define and refine their personal style and to explore new styles, not to serve as a comprehensive guide to fashion.
"We also believe that every woman is a mix of at least two styles. You can be Sexy and Elegant, for example, or Men's Inspired with a touch of Preppy. It's about celebrating what makes you unique.
"Urban Darling professional wardrobe stylists use the nine styles as a baseline to understand their clients and to assist in building a wardrobe they can count on," Phipps adds.
The eBook will be available free of charge to clients and newsletter subscribers via the company's website, http://www.urbandarling.com. Anyone may join.
Urban Darling, founded by Corinne Phipps in 2006, provides in-person and virtual wardrobe styling services to men and women across the United States through its network of 25 personal stylists in twelve states.

They're not magic beans, but you'll pay a high price for them—if you're lucky enough to find some.
Coffee giant Starbucks is offering Costa Rica Finca Palmilera. At $7 for a grande, it's the Seattle-based company's most expensive offering to date as well as one of its rarest, according to the Los Angeles Times.
But coffee connoisseurs here in the Peach State are out of luck if they're hoping to grab a cup at their corner Starbucks shop—the company is only offering the beverage in select stores in Washington state.
What is this new coffee anyway? The Washington Post has chronicled the history of the Geisha heritage varietal, the bean from which the Costa Rica Finca Palmilera is made. The bean, which has its roots in Ethiopia, has gained popularity within the last decade, and its rarity is why its prices are so high. Tastewise, it is said to feature "distinct floral notes and the flavor of chocolate."
Several people filmed by The Jimmy Kimmel Show didn't pick up on the Geisha bean's taste when they were asked to do a taste test to see if they could determine which of two cups of coffee contained Starbucks' new offering. But the joke was on them—both cups were filled with regular coffee. (We've attached the clip to this article.)
Luckily, we're not looking to fool you—if you can't make it to the northwest to grab a fresh cup, you may be able to get a bag of the coffee to make at home. Starbucks has been selling the beans for $40 for a half pound, and brewing it at home could cost you as little as $2.66 a cup, The Wall Street Journal's MarketWatch reports.
Would you be willing to spend $7 on a cup of coffee? Tell us in the comments.
Share what's on your mind with us, and then return here to see what your neighbors in Paulding, Douglas and Cobb have said.

Welcome to The Greenhouse People Ltd, we've been selling greenhouses since 1989 - many of the staff here have made greenhouses their life's work - and this means that we're here to help you with your choice with a wealth of experience and helpful impartial advice - you can call us seven days a week on 0843 2081158. We also recommend that you read the hugely popular Greenhouse buyer's guide to help you with your choice.
For over 20 years we have guaranteed that our prices can not be beaten, and that promise still stands today as one of our famous 7 Guarantees. You can order anything from us and you can change your mind, delay it, change it or even send it back within 30 days - its no problem - so you can have a bit of confidence that you will be fully satisfied with the end result. Your happiness is vital to us, as now over 40% of our business comes from recommendations by satisfied customers - so we guarantee it !
Ordering online is easy - the checkout process is quick and easy and if there are any queries or errors or changes needed, then it's no problem, simply call us on 0843 208 1158 or email firstname.lastname@example.com. All you need is your postcode or order number and we can find your record immediately.
The massive range that you can choose from is now 70% made right here in our Staffordshire factory - Including Alton Cedar greenhouses, Robinsons, Simplicity and Hercules greenhouses. You are therefore buying direct from the manufacturer at genuine factory direct prices.
You can also choose one of the Halls greenhouses which we stock, again at the lowest prices available - guaranteed.
If you want your greenhouse professionally assembling then, once you have ordered, we'll give you access to our network of approved independent greenhouse fitters (the largest such network in the UK). In every area, there is a self-employed fitter who specialises in erecting greenhouses every day of the week - we give you direct access to a choice of local fitters and because you engage them directly, there is no cut for us and often no VAT (as they tend to be below the VAT threshold) This keeps charges to the absolute lowest possible level for you. Most greenhouses are fully geared up for self-assembly, so make an enjoyable project of it if you have the time.
The result is that whether you are looking for a small greenhouse or large greenhouse, a glass greenhouse or a polycarbonate greenhouse, a lean-to or free standing greenhouse, a cheap greenhouse or a strong greenhouse, then we certainly have the model for you; all at factory direct prices and all covered by our famous Seven Guarantees. Please call us or email for friendly and impartial advice!
If you're looking for some greenhouse staging, then you've come to the right place. We have a huge range available when it comes to greenhouse staging and each design comes with its own benefits. The slatted surfaces of some of the designs means that air can circulate around the roots of your plants or if you're after extra grip, then opt for greenhouse staging with a ridged surface.
lean to greenhouse is a great idea if you were hoping to have a greenhouse attached to your home. These greenhouses lean against a wall and look as though they are half a full greenhouse. The wall on one side means that the heat in the greenhouse is much easier to control and these greenhouses can be the solution if you do not have much spare room in your garden.
Here at The Greenhouse People, we can offer you a range of greenhouses for sale, with each boasting its own range of benefits. Whether you're after small or large greenhouses, we have plenty to choose from. And we even have lean to greenhouses or unusual octagonal greenhouses for sale too.
Having a greenhouse can be a full time job. But the results are really rewarding so it is worth investing the time to make it a success. In order to keep a successful greenhouse though, you will need some greenhouse accessories. These can range from simple watering cans to hydroponics. Take a look through our range of greenhouse accessories to see what you need in order to make your greenhouse a success
When your trying to choose your new greenhouse the difficult bit is to know where to start.
We would strongly recommend reading our buyers guide.
We would all also recommend listening to this interview conducted by BBC Tees. Richard answers some common questions posed by first time greenhouse buyers.

The publication provides an overview of how climate change is affecting UK biodiversity and potential future changes based on the latest scientific evidence and understanding. It shows where observed changes in UK biodiversity are likely to have been caused by changes in the UK climate over recent decades . It also assesses potential future impacts of climate change on biodiversity. The Report Card summarises 15 technical papers that were commissioned from leading experts. Each technical paper covered a separate topic and was peer-reviewed by experts. The technical papers, which include supporting evidence and sections on knowledge gaps and confidence assessments, can be accessed via links in the Report Card.
The project has been overseen by a working group of senior scientists. Both the card itself and the review papers that support it have been peer-reviewed to ensure scientific rigour and that the consensus view of the scientific community is represented.
Among the ECN-related papers cited as evidence are:
To read more about the Report Card and to download a copy, see the LWEC website.
The call for proposals for research visits to these stations will be open at the INTERACT website from 1st August – 30th September 2013. This will be for Transnational Access visits taking place between October 2013 and October 2014.
Transnational Access includes:

These photos contrast with the wintry images taken at ECN Snowdon just a few weeks earlier.
In addition to this, Chris, our site manager at ECN Cairngorms, has written a blog article about the arrival of spring in his part of Scotland. Chris reports that migrant birds like wheatears and willow warblers have begun arriving from Africa, which must be a welcome sight.
We're using our Facebook page to share photos of ECN sites, along with other information about the network. We hope you enjoy it. If you do, and you have a Facebook account, please consider 'liking' us!
More information
Jan and Andy are primarily involved in INTERACT's outreach work. The Cairngorms site is also open for research visits funded through INTERACT's Transnational Access scheme. When the next TA call is launched we will announce it on the ECN website.
Andy has written a blog about the trip to Greenland.
Michèle managed the ECN site at Wytham expertly and she will be much missed. We wish her all the best for the future. Thankfully, Steffi and Denise have stepped in to take her place, and we're confident they'll do a great job!
Steffi is a molecular ecologist with a special interest in ticks, mosquitoes, and vector-borne pathogens. She completed her Diploma thesis at the Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität in Bonn, Germany, in 1997 and joined CEH in 2003.
Denise is a plant virologist, qualifying with a Ph.D. from Dundee University in 1998. She began working at CEH the same year, and has worked on a range of projects concerned with viruses in plants.
The ECN Site Manager role is a varied one and involves a wide range of tasks such as taking regular measurements, collecting samples for analysis back in the lab, checking the equipment, managing all the data from the site and liaising with visiting researchers. Steffi and Denise are sharing the role, which enables them to continue their on-going scientific work at CEH. We wish them all the best in their new role.

This memorable walk also includes stories of sheep, socks, snow and spies!
See the Discovering Britain website for details. We're pleased to see that ECN gets a mention! The existence of Gordon Manley's meteorological records was one of the factors in choosing Moor House an ECN site.

]]>We'll post occasional news items and photos on the page. Our aim is to reach a wider audience than is currently reached via our website, e-mail, etc. and hopefully introduce more people to ECN's long-term monitoring and the research undertaken at ECN sites.
]]>In his talk to the Aberdeen Entomological Club, which took place at the James Hutton Institute, Mr Davidson set out to explore whether spiders were suitable candidates as environmental indicators and whether a citizen science monitoring project would complement existing monitoring networks.
The attributes of spiders which might make them suitable indicators were considered and a comparison was made with freshwater invertebrate monitoring.
Various existing long-term spider data sources were explored, including the Spider Recording Scheme database, the Aphid Monitoring network (SASA) and the Environmental Change Network.
Some results were shown from a recent review of ECN carabid data and this was briefly compared with a provisional analysis of trends in spider data from ECN Cairngorms (kindly supplied by Chris Andrews of CEH). Other museum and survey data sets were also considered as useful additions to the overall data resource.
Spider monitoring is an optional protocol at ECN terrestrial sites.

]]>ECN's Dr Jan Dick (CEH) is among the authors contributing to the paper, as is CEH's Dr Jill Thompson.
The International Long Term Ecological Research (ILTER) network can coordinate ecological research to provide observations of the ecosystem changes, and their socio- economic impacts on human societies at different scales. In this paper we demonstrate the importance of the ILTER network in the study and monitoring of environmental changes at a global level. We give examples of how biodiversity and ecosystem service data can be used to study impacts and adaptation options in response to climate change. Analysis of the 107 recent publications from LTER networks representing 21 countries show that LTER studies are often local and heterogeneous. There are some ecosystem types, such as agricultural or coastal ecosystems that are not covered with current ILTER network. Standardized monitoring schemes and techniques should be considered for future steering of ILTER collaboration. Integrating and synthesizing the collected data should be prioritized for future cooperation, and integrated in decision- making.
Research staff and students can take the opportunity of the call to develop international research collaborations.
The ExpeER scheme is a great opportunity to obtain funding for short research visits in another country. Here's what one user of the scheme said about her visit to Whim Bog (another UK ExpeER site):
"A very interesting experience. I usually work in Mediterranean environments and at Whim bog I had the opportunity to work in a completely different environment."
Full information about this call can be found on the ExpeER website. ExpeER makes a contribution to cover travel and subsistence costs of visiting scientists and students. The 33 facilities involved are located in 13 European countries and Israel. They include Highly Instrumented Experimental (HIES) and Observational Sites (HIOS), Analytical Facilities and Ecotrons, which provide state of the art analytical equipment and controlled environment facilities for ecosystem research.
The two ECN involved are Moor House-Upper Teesdale and Rothamsted. There are two other UK sites included in the call: Plynlimon and Whim.
The scientists monitored beetle populations at a national scale over fifteen years in the UK Environmental Change Network. They found declines in the overall abundance of ground beetles that are comparable to those reported for butterflies and moths. But they also found that declines were not consistent across UK regions and habitats, being at their worst at sites studied on mountains, in upland moorland in the north and in pasture in the west. Conversely, populations sampled from woodland and hedgerow habitats remained stable, and increased at a downland site.
David Brooks of Rothamsted Research, who receive strategic funding from the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC), said "Carabid beetles contribute to the viability and health of ecosystems. They are particularly important in agriculture because they help control pests and weeds".
Further research will be required to discover how management of these habitats may offset adverse, wider-scale changes in climate or the environment. In particular, retaining woodland and hedgerows in the landscape, and managing them in appropriate ways, may help to conserve beetles undergoing adverse changes in their wider environment.
Brooks has warned that "these rather alarming trends in carabid beetle decline do contribute to growing evidence that insects are undergoing serious losses".
[Text adapted from Rothamsted Research news article]
CEH has just published a briefing note on the 2010-2012 drought and its dramatic termination [PDF]. A comprehensive report on the transformation is currently being compiled.
During the poster session she explained the work done at the science-society interface at the site and in the surrounding area. The Eco-SEE project, which involved surveying over 300 residents and visitors designed to gauge their personal perception of the environment and the ecosystem services it delivers, is currently being compared to similar studies in Israel and Russia.
The work was part-funded by the EU project INTERACT, in which Jan is participating. INTERACT runs a very successful Transnational Access (TA) scheme providing funds for short research visits to northern latitude research stations (including the ECN Cairngorms). INTERACT has just opened its latest TA call, which will fund research trips during summer 2013 and winter 2013/2014. The closing date is 31 October 2012.
Jan's poster concluded that "The LTER community is well-placed to conduct socio-ecological research as many sites are developing as LTSER [Long-Term Socio-Ecological Research] platforms which integrate the LTER sites into a larger social context. In addition managers are familiar with their local environment, they have a wealth of relevant data and cross country collaboration is fostered both by donor grants (e.g. INTERACT) and international networks (e.g. LTER-Europe and ILTER)."
The aurora results from activity on the surface of the Sun. Occasionally the Sun emits huge amounts of charged particles into space. These particles sometimes travel towards Earth where they are caught in the Earth's magnetic field and guided towards the polar regions.
The Earth's atmosphere slows the charged particles which then collide with gas molecules in the atmosphere. The energy released in these collisions is given off as light.
Although the aurora borealis (Northern Lights) are more commonly seen from higher latitudes, sightings from the UK are not uncommon.

Astoria mom in trouble for toddler's calls to 911
Wednesday, February 20, 2013
ASTORIA, Ore. — Emergency dispatchers in Astoria are tired of answering calls from the 1-year-old daughter of Jessica May.
The toddler dialed 911 a total of seven times last Thursday and nine other times before that, dating back to January.
May told KGW she was in the bathroom Thursday when her daughter Ayla found her phone and started playing.
After the sixth call, an officer gave May a warning. But when it happened again, she was cited for abusing 911. If convicted, she could face up to a year in jail and a $6,000 fine.
