Frog leg
It has been years I didn't eat any frog legs. After back to Kuching, I eventually had a taste on it again. A long time ago taste.
Frog legs are special dish to me. When I was still a very young kid, my father used to work in Simunjan. A little kampung with no water and electrical supply at that time.
However, that was one of my most wonderful childhood memory.
A beautiful night scene with bush full of firefly lightning. The very loud sound of all types of living creatures playing orchestra in the paddy field beside my house.
Sometimes, daddy would choose to go to catch the fat and juicy frogs, so that the next day we would have nice frog leg porridge. Or mum would just simmer it with ginger and soysauce for a great dinner. That was the moment I would eargerly follow him, in the dark night without any lamp pole, only the dimly lit kerosine lamp led our way.
My daddy always very good in catching this. We would have a few that will make a great dish for a meal for 3 (brother was still too young, he only need milk that time)
Hehe... that was just a small part that formed the wild nature of mine. :P
So, to rewind back my old memory, I went to the kitchen to see how the frog leg is prepared. Geeee... didn't expect to see that they were actually naked whole frogs. I don't remember mum prepared the frog leg this way. I guess I was too young to remember.
However, after a while...
The chef turned all these into...
Hot and spicy soy sauce frog leg.
This is one of the most delicious frog legs I have ever eaten (beside mum's). The aftertaste spiciness, made me really sweating.
Gosh!! It has been a really long time I didn't eat until sweat. The feeling was nostalgic.
The only demerit... too many bones, troublesome to get rid of them.
Ah~ but thanks for the recall.
So, do you have any food that will remind you about your childhood?

Patrick Nielsen treated fans at the City2 shopping centre in Taastrup to a public workout ahead of his 'Homecoming' fight against Jose Pinzon at the Albertslund MusikTeatret on November 16.
Joining Patrick was younger brother Micki Nielsen, the 'Swedish Princess' Klara Svensson and their coach Joey Gamache. An autograph signing session followed in which fans had the opportunity to meet the popular local boxer.
''It's great to be home,'' said Nielsen. ''The atmosphere at today's training was incredible and I know come the fight next Saturday it will be even better. If Pinzon thinks he can come to my hometown and take my belts away from me he is in trouble.''
Tickets for the Nordic Fight Night at Albertslund MusikTeatret are available at www.billetnet.dk.

At the trial of the former Bosnian Serb army chief, Ratko Mladic, his defence argued that the attack of the Serb forces on the village of Kozarac in 1992 was a was a consequence of a Bosniak ambush.
The suggestion was made by Mladic's lawyers during the cross examination of the prosecution witness Osman Selak who dismissed this claim, sticking to his earlier assertion that 1,200 Bosniaks had been killed in the attack.
Testifying a day earlier, Selak, the former commander of the rear base of the Army of Republika Srpska in Banja Luka, described the meeting on May 27, 1992, when subordinate officers informed the commander of the First Krajina Corps Momir Talic that 800 Muslims were killed and 1,200 captured in Kozarac and the area.
According to Selak, General Talic issued an order that the headquarters of the Bosnian Serb army be informed that the number of victims was ten times smaller, aware that his units violated the international law of war.
Mladic, former commander of the Army of Republika Srpska, is charged with the expulsion of Bosniak and Croat civilians across Bosnia and Herzegovina, which, according to the indictment, in seven Bosnian municipalities, reached a level of genocide. He is also charged with genocide in Srebrenica and terrorizing Sarajevo citizens.
Asked by the defence whether he knew that an army column passed through Kozarac in late May 1992 and what was its assignment, Selak replied negatively, adding that he knew that "a battalion from Belgrade went in that direction."
Asked whether he knew that a driver from the column was killed, the witness replied: "I did not know. That is how political parties were trying to justify the killing of 1,200 people".
The defence lawyer, Branko Lukic, asked how many wounded people there were in Kozarac, suggesting that, having in mind the number of killed that the witness stated, there had to be a "couple of thousand" wounded.
"I believe there was, because people from the village were taken to the camps near Pijedor and many of them died from the wounds there," said Selak.
Mladic's lawyer asked the witness about the "resistance movement" in Banja Luka, whose member he was after he retired in July 1992. Selak confirmed this, emphasising that the resistance never carried out any action against the Serb authorities.
He added that during the war "300 people were killed and thrown into the Vrbas river" and that "Bosniaks and Croats were ordered to leave."
In the course of the trial, presiding judge Alphons Orie had to warn defendant Mladic on several occasions not to talk loudly during consultations with his lawyers and not to comment loudly during the ongoing testimony.
The trial is set to resume on September 28.
In July 1995 Srebrenica was shelled and occupied by the Army of Republic of Srpska,VRS, despite being declared a protected area by the United Nations. More than 7,000 people were killed, the victims of genocide.
Key dates and events in the Bosnia war.
The Bosnian Serb commander's role in the genocide committed in Srebrenica is described in detail in many indictments and verdicts pronounced before local and international judicial institutions.

Many folks consider views to be a sort of API to the database. Using views to provide an API substantially insulates client code from implementation changes because the logic "behind" a view can change without changing the interface. So, although the prohibition against changing the column specification is occasionally irksome, I have grown to appreciate the protection from wanton changes to the API that this prohibition provides. Here are two tricks that may help you (and which you may already know): 1) Views can be renamed. When you do this, nearly all intra-cluster references to it are updated. So, if your view is /solely/ for use within the database, this allows you to deprecate a view. 2) Views can depend on views. So, consider your view1 as version1, then create view2 which depends on view1 and merely recasts the type1 column as character(3). New code can use view2 and old code can be migrated to view2 as needed. -Reece -- Reece Hart, http://harts.net/reece/, GPG:0x25EC91A0

homeless encampment stealing electricity
I found that the persons experiencing homelessness living in the woods behind my house (in the woods behind hibachi grill)has resorted to stealing electricity from me. Please look out for one another and get new no trespassing signs. I called MNPD they didn't do anything. I contacted NES about it they didn't do anything. I am open to advice on the topic, for I appear to have exhausted my immediate taxpayer options. I will look to contact local homeless services for them.

It won't be the first time Dan Rather of CBS News fame has appeared at an ALA Conference when he speaks at the ALTAFF President's Program on Monday, June 25 at 8:30 a.m (see also LJ's Guide to the ALA Annual 2012 Conference Program).
Back in June 1976, the ALA Intellectual Freedom Committee hired Vision Associates to make a film to demonstrate the importance of freedom of expression to the general public. The result was a film called The Speaker about a racist professor who believed black people are genetically inferior to whites. A high school club invites this professor, obviously fashioned after the controversial William Shockley, to come address the students. Everyone in the fictional town is upset, especially the stereotyped black students, unfortunately portrayed in the film as angry and a bit stupid.
A great debate broke out in ALA over whether or not the film should be released. As we now know the film was released unchanged, but it was never very popular. At the time I came to believe the film was racist and simplistic (see "A whimper for Freedom," LJ June 1, 1977, p. 1227 – embedded below).
So when Dan Rather and a camera crew from "60 Minutes" showed up to cover the ALA Council debate, I confronted him just before it began. "How can you do justice to this debate with your sound bites and short takes?" I loudly asked Rather. "These people feel very deeply and strongly about the film on both sides!" I asserted.
Rather may have forgotten his very wise answer to my angry bluster: "Berry," he said. "I don't see how you can lose, you're either going to come out against racism or against censorship."

There's method acting, and then there's actor Ray Stevenson and his methods for getting into killer shape.
Stevenson gets in shape for each role the way his character would, so for an upcoming part in a gangster bio-pick The Irishman, he channeled a muscle-head from the 70s. We're talking drop sets for chest and biceps and sets of pushups scattered around the day. "Think of Russell Crowe in Gladiator," he explains. "The man looks like an ox, like he can weird a steel blade and an 80-pound shield all day long, not like he's counting reps in a gym somewhere." And that's what he's going for. In his latest part in The Book of Eli, a post-apocolyptic Denzel Washington thriller, he wanted the most futuristic approach to gaining muscle, so he went with total body circuit training. As long as he's true to the character and not walking around in dehydrated photo-shoot shape, he's good. "As soon as you have a gym body, people start wondering where the hell is the gym," he says. "Especially 30 years after a nuclear holocaust."
All his pre-film workouts are always done with his friend and stuntman Jeff Wolfe, who he's worked with since The Punisher. "I saw a difference right away with Ray," says Wolfe. "He was more interested in being The Punisher from the comic books, or being Denny Green in The Irishman, than being Ray Stevenson playing those roles." The two have a closer bond than most actors and their stunt doubles, which lets Stevenson focus on his role. "When I'm doing a workout session with Jeff, I don't have to think about anything else but the work at hand." More than anything, Stevenson just wants his parts to look real. "It's all got to come from the character," he says. "That's where I find my center."

Le'O Wallace, is a 27 year old trans male originally from Chicago Illinois. He currently lives in the Twin Cities of Minnesota, with his younger sister and fur baby, (his cat). He serves in the military as a reservist and also works for Panasonic on the civilian side. He is very passionate about his career in the military, civilian job, family, his lady (sorry ladies), and about helping others when he can. Le'O started his transition in November 2015, when he decided what exactly he wanted for himself and who he truly was as a person.
"I remember when I was younger always hanging out with the guys, not so much girls and it never phased me one bit. For the longest time I thought for sure I was one of the guys. Even when my mom dressed me up in girl clothes. I didn't care because I was one of the guys, did what they did, and didn't feel weird about it. It wasn't until I got older, and my body started puberty as a female, did I realize, that I'm really not like the other guys. Though that bothered me some, I just continued to live my life as a masculine individual. I played all kinds of sports while I was in school. I had the most fun playing wrestling, football, and was even the only female on my high school football team for 3 years and wrestling team for 2 years. Of course, I had to continually prove myself because, some of the guys didn't think I should be there. Yet, I surely gain their respect after making it through 2 weeks of hell week, when I played football. When high school was over I continued to struggle with trying to find a place where I fit, and for people to see me as another man. Even though that's what I wanted, when people would use male pronouns, because I was assigned female at birth, I'd correct them as if it wasn't right. I didn't know at the time, what I was feeling then was actually called gender dysphoria. I just thought I needed to keep suppressing those feelings of wanting to be this guy that I wasn't assigned at birth," says Le'O Wallace.
It was a few years ago while on Active Duty that Le'O says he started watching YouTube videos on other people like himself. Listening to what they were going through. It was through those videos that he says he learned what transgender meant. At that time being active duty and coming out as trans was not an option, so he left his position and kept it to himself. Later he would join the reserves, feeling it would be easier to transition while continuing to serve, and continued his education. That November in 2015 was when he decided to go see a therapist and figure himself out. After attending therapy session, support group for other trans guys, he decided to live his truth. On 6 April 2016 Le'O says he had his first shot of testosterone and began living his authentic truth, while serving his country ever since.
Last week #notourpresident tweeted a ban on transgender service, though currently unofficial, it has halted the hopes of many transgender military service members. Our country is plagued by division at an all time high. Records numbers of African American men have been victim to police violence and the murders of transgender women of color continues to be an epidemic, largely ignored by our own black community. Division plagues even the trans community. The voices of trans men of color often goes overlooked or out right ignored. Trans men of color are among the most courageous, silent heroes of our community, as well as trans military personnel that are the most ignored and under appreciated people serving this country with their lives. For these reasons and many more is why Le'O Wallace is TMP's Role Model of the Month.

Last week I got out and visited H3 Home + Décor, which many of us have known for many years as Hambuchen Home Furnishings. The store has recently been remodeled on the outside and inside, and it has a lot of new inventory.
I was curious what the outside changes would mean for the inside of the store. I had a hunch they were trying to reinvent themselves in some way. It turns out they are trying to attract a broader customer base with some products that are more casual, contemporary and modern. They have a very large selection of La-Z-Boy furniture, which is one of their most sought-after brands. I was told the prices were more affordable than the store has had in the past, but let's not forget this is a store that is all about high quality. So, if you're looking for something that is going to last a long time and you're willing to pay a little more, this place is still a good bet. By the way, for the crowd that really loves the formal, traditional style of furniture that Hambuchen has been known for in the past, they still have some of that stuff in the back part of the store.
Bookstore opening soon
Lighthouse Christian Supply has a target opening date of June 28. If you missed it, the store is under construction in the Conway Commons shopping center in the space that used to be Christian Book Outlet. The bookstore will have coffee and snacks, music, greeting cards, a large selection of home schooling supplies, and more.
Food news
• Chick-fil-A on Prince Street will open very soon — likely either this week or next week.
• How Do You Roll? (HDYR?) in The Village at Hendrix will give away free sushi on Wednesday, which is International Sushi Day. Who knew?
Dress shop targets party crowd
J.O. Fashions, located at 2625 Donaghey Ave., Suite 107, has been open six weeks or so. They offer attire appropriate for clubbing. They also carry shoes, accessories and such. Considering the age group they are targeting (I'm going to go ahead and assume 20-somethings), their prices also seem on-point, with dresses starting at $20 and skirts for $10.
Everyone have a good week, and email me if you have news.

Greetings from sunny Seattle! Yep, our summer finally started. And, it is glorious. Our days are in the upper 70s or 80s and the lows at night are in the upper 50s. This means we have clear-as-a-bell warm days and then cool nights so we can sleep well. This just reinforces for us Seattleites why we put up with the greyness of the rest of the year–summers here are ah-mazing. And it stays light quite late–until about 9:45 or 10 pm–because we are so far north. This is why our family kind of goes feral over the summer. It stays light so late that it's hard to stick to a bedtime schedule. We like to stay outside until it's dark. And then hang out for a few hours inside before we go to bed. And then we read for couple hours more. I really love this feeling of being "outside of time" and is one of the many reasons I look forward to summer.
We even had a thunder and lightning storm in the wee hours earlier this week–about 2 am (ask me how I know). Seattle doesn't get much thunder and lightning (contrary to what TV shows seem to think–I'm looking at you Frasier), so our family always revels in the rare one that comes along. I so remember my days in NYC during grad school when the thunder would be so loud that it would set off car alarms. I have a particular memory of walking to NYU one summer (I was a grad student during the school year and then I worked as the Assistant Director of Undergraduate Orientation for the College of Arts and Sciences) and walking through Washington Square Park in August accompanied by some of the loudest thunder I've ever heard in my life. CRRRAAACK! BOOM! I know it's not everyone's cup of tea, but I love thunder.
This summer, for whatever reason, we've had huge clouds of gnats (that's what I'm calling them, maybe they are some sort of other kind of tiny flying bug). Maybe it was because of the uncommonly wet spring. Earlier in June, the clouds of gnats were so big that they looked like low clouds suspended in various pockets around the neighborhood and in the park next door. I got a new bike in June (yay!) and riding through giant gnat clouds was odd. This photo gives you a sense of how intense the gnat clouds were. This was taken in the park next door, looking at the gazebo. The fuzziness of the photo is not due to bad photo taking skills (although that is usually my problem), it is because of the gnats:
Maybe I should blame gnats for my all of my poor photos from now on? Hm.
Yesterday evening I was sitting on the front porch, drinking a glass of wine, and looking out over my front garden. Gnats were rising up one at a time from the miniature lilac bush in a slow, languid way. It was magical to look at–they drifted up like tiny bubbles blown by fairies. I was so enchanted I called Girlfriend out to see it. She was less impressed by the whole thing. "They're just gnats, Mom. Sheesh." Then again, she's a tween grump, so that's her take on just about everything. Sigh.
This wonderful weather has also finally brought the berries of the season to my farmer's market and to my kitchen. I love all of the berries. Of course, I love to bake with berries. And as usual, I am using my gluten-free Berry Cake recipe (among others) to do so. This recipe is awesome (if I do say so myself) because you can use any berry (or fruit, really) that is in season. Lately, I've been making a blueberry (tiny fruit bubbles!) version:
I cannot tell a lie: the blurriness on this photo is not due to gnats, it's due to my Poor Photo Taking Skills ™.
I hope you are enjoying the summer so far, as well!Copyright secured by Digiprove © 2012 Jeanne Sauvage

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. — Joe Harris scored a career-high 36 as Virginia stunned No. 3 Duke 73-68 on Thursday.
Akil Mitchell added 19 points and 12 rebounds for the Cavaliers (20-8, 10-5 ACC), who never trailed and whose 16th straight home win came 11 years to the day since its last win against a top-5 team — 87-84 over No. 3 Duke.
Four of Harris' points came on consecutive free throws, when Rasheed Sulaimon fouled him in the act of shooting then drew a technical foul for arguing.
The free throws capped a 10-0 run that put Virginia up 38-26. A 7-2 burst a short time later made it 49-35 with 8:15 left.
The Blue Devils (24-4, 11-4), who face No. 5 Miami on Saturday, didn't get closer than nine until the final minute.
No. 16 Ohio St. 63, N'western 53: Lenzelle Smith scored a season-high 24 for the visiting Buckeyes. Northwestern led 49-48 with 4:13 left. But Ohio State (21-7, 11-5 Big Ten) ended the game with a 15-4 run. Deshaun Thomas scored six of his 19 during it.
No. 25 La. Tech 84, Utah St. 61: Brandon Gibson scored 20 in the host Bulldogs' first game as a ranked team since 1985. Tech (25-3, 15-0 WAC) led 15-2 and cruised to its 17th straight win.
Iowa St. apology: Kansas coach Bill Self said Iowa State's student government apologized for two incidents that occurred after Monday's win in Ames. A fan had to be held back by security from going after Self, and at least two fans made racist and threatening comments toward Elijah Johnson, who scored 39.
Gators get two back
GAINESVILLE — Florida forward Will Yeguete and guard Michael Frazier are expected to play Saturday against Alabama. Yeguete, averaging 6.0 points and 6.3 rebounds, missed six games after arthroscopic surgery on his right knee. Frazier, averaging 6.4 points, sat out Tuesday at Tennessee with a concussion. Also, swingman Casey Prather passed a concussion test and is expected to play. Prather, who missed four games earlier this season with a concussion, fell hard Tuesday.
Women: Second chance gives FSU victory, bye
TALLAHASSEE — Alexa Deluzio's free throw with seven seconds left lifted No. 24 Florida State to a 72-71 win over No. 9 Maryland. The Seminoles (21-7, 11-6 ACC) clinched a first-round bye in the ACC tournament.
Down 64-47 with 4:31 left, Maryland (22-6, 13-4) rallied, tying it with 10 seconds left. Deluzio was fouled on the ensuing possession. She missed two free throws. But the Terps were called for a lane violation on the second.

Outreach to business and community
CMS attention and messaging tightly focuses first on current K-12 parents, second to teachers. Needs, including teacher salaries, and school construction, are vast, unlikely adequately met by the County, by Raleigh, or by Washington. CMS must better connect with the business community, and those in our community without current K-12 children, both to trumpet successes, and make aware of the pressing needs. Broadening the tent is a recurring theme.
Public confidence in functioning Board
The sudden departure of Heath Morrison left the community once again shaking its head about the CMS Board. The search for his permanent replacement, and further school assignment boundary changes, loom in the immediate future. It is critical that Board members understand the role of the Board, the General Counsel, and the Superintendent, under policies and applicable Statutes. Jeremy's professional legal training and real experience in corporate governance, appropriate use of outside legal counsel, and confidentiality and conflicts of interest, are sorely needed on the CMS BoE.
Financial oversight to plan for the future
The CMS School Bond package in 2013 ($290 million) was almost three times smaller than the school bonds passed in Wake County the same year (over $800 million). People are moving to Mecklenburg County from across the country as they have been for twenty years because life is better here. Strict financial oversight is needed to ensure precious resources are not wasted, and to find savings wherever possible.
Workforce readiness/economic development
Business leaders are demanding a more skilled workforce. CMS is doing great things, like Olympic-Bosch Rexroth advanced manufacturing. This needs to be far more robust, and system wide. There are simply too few internships available. Also, such business-school connections are prime attractor of economic development of our region. If our schools are the best, and the community vocally behind them, it will continue to drive business growth, and more jobs in our community.
Candid conversation on generational poverty
Over fifty percent of CMS students are eligible for food assistance, over 70,000 students. On my side of the County, generational poverty is rarely seen or even discussed, and it is said that some "merely want to throw money at the problem." Generational poverty in our schools is an issue for our entire community, and real change will need more than "throwing money"; it will take experts, mentors, volunteers, tutors, corporate leaders, faith groups, everyone, coming to the table for a candid conversation about what works and how it can be implemented.

The loud, screeching whistle sound you hear in the back-round, is the pressure that's beginning to build as the 2010 season draws closer for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and head coach Raheem Morris. After gutting a huge number of veterans, shortly after he was named coach in 2009. The results that followed were catastrophic and further alienated the majority of the fan base that were pro Jon Gruden. Firing offensive coordinator Jeff Jagodzinski, an 0-7 start, the dismissal of defensive coordinator Jim Bates, the quarterback carousel that ensued and the growing pains Morris endured as the leagues youngest head coach has only fueled speculation that Morris is squarely planted on the hot seat in Tampa.
But the '10 draft was good to the Buccaneers as they potentially might have walked away with 5 starters in DT Gerald McCoy, DT Brian Price, WR Arrelious Benn, WR Mike Williams and P Brent Bowden to add to a talented group of players from the 2009 NFL Draft that include QB Josh Freeman, WR Sammie Stroughter and DT Roy Miller.
Morris, would surely love to coach the young nucleus of the rebuilding Bucs for the next decade, but another three-win campaign will not cut the mustard. With more talent on hand, Morris will be expected to produce more wins.
How many more wins, is the million dollar question. No one is for sure, if Morris and his fledglings have to have a winning season. But anything short of a 7-9 or 8-8 record at seasons end, might spell a disastrous end to Morris' coaching career and force team Glazer into a bidding war for a high profile coach to help sell season tickets as the ship gets righted.

Muffling train whistles at two at-grade railroad crossings has been delayed to determine how much the measure will cost the town of Castle Rock.
Town officials are contemplating establishing a "quiet zone" by installing additional gates at the railroad crossings at Second and Third streets.
Federal rules require locomotive engineers to sound train horns in advance of all public at-grade railroad crossings.
But communities can establish quiet zones, where train whistles are banned, if the risks posed by the absence of a train horn can be properly mitigated, town management analyst Kristin Accola said.
Usually this involves installing more secure gates at railroad crossings. The extra gates would prevent motorists from driving around the existing gates when they are lowered.
In 2010, the cost of the new gates was estimated at $750,000. Castle Rock has asked Union Pacific Railroad to provide a current estimate, which should be ready for council review Aug. 20, town transportation manager Bob Watts said.
Since at least 2007, residents and business owners in Castle Rock have complained about the noise generated by train whistles. But the move to establish quiet zones was shelved in 2008 and 2009 because of the recession, Accola said.
The town council included the quiet zone proposal in its 2013-2015 financial plan, Accola said. If approved, construction would take 12 to 18 months.

The United Nations has suspended its mission in Syria amid rising violence and renewed shelling in the strife-torn country.
In a statement Saturday, major general Robert Mood, head of the UN mission to Syria, halted operations "until further notice".
It comes amid claims that Syrian government forces has recommenced shelling in the capital Damascus, killing 12 people, according to opposition figures.
Following the UN announcement, the White House said it would consult with international partners over the "next steps" needed to effect a transition of power in Syria.
The past two weeks have seen a worrying escalation in violence in the country. A massacre in the town of Houla on May 25 resulted in the deaths of more than 100 people, many of them women and children.
That attack resulted in a series of stern warnings against the regime of President Bashar al-Assad and renewed calls for his removal from power.
But a refusal by Russia to back international pressure on Assad – amid allegations that Moscow continues to arm the strongman's armies – has resulted in an impasse.
On Friday Mood warned that he may have to pull his 300 UN observers out of Syria unless the situation improved.
He accused both sides in the near-civil war of "willingly" intensifying the fighting, causing losses on both sides and putting unarmed UN monitors at "significant risks".
Last week shots were fired at a car carrying international monitors after they were turned away from the town of Haffeh by angry Assad supporters who threw stones and metal rods at their convoy
On Saturday, Mood carried out his earlier threat and suspended the UN mission.
"The observers will not be conducting patrols and will stay in their locations until further notice," he announced in a statement.
He said the uptick in violence was stopping UN personnel from carrying out their mandate to observe an April 12 ceasefire deal. That agreement has long since fallen redundant, given the continuation of killings.
"This suspension will be reviewed on a daily basis. Operations will resume when we see the situation fit for us to carry out our mandated activities," Mood said.
The move marks yet another sign that the peace plan brokered by former UN secretary general Kofi Annan is nearing irrelevance. The fear is now that without international monitors, conditions could worsen still as Syria disintegrates into civil war.
Responding to the UN decision to suspend its mission, the White House reissued its call for Assad to step down.
"We call again on the Syrian regime to uphold its commitments under the Annan plan, including the full implementation of a ceasefire," White House spokesman Tommy Vietor said.
He added: "At this critical juncture, we are consulting with our international partners regarding next steps towards a Syrian-led political transition as called for in Security Council resolutions.
"The sooner this transition takes place, the greater chance of averting a lengthy and bloody sectarian civil war."

On CNN's State of the Union this morning, Candy Crowley pushed Obama adviser David Axelrod on the president's election message, and why he deserves a second term. Host Candy Crowley pointed out that by wide margins Americans still believe the U.S. economy is on the wrong track, but Axelrod pushed back with a different set of polling statistics, arguing that "by a huge margin, people think this president is an advocate for the middle class," and consider him someone who will build "an economy that works for the middle class."
When asked what that would mean for his second term, and "what's different" about Obama from 2012 to 2016, Axelrod reached back to the beginning of Obama's first term, saying, "we've come a long way from when we were losing 800,000 jobs a month," and explaining that the administration has created 5 million jobs from the low point of the recession.
Crowley pushed him on the issue, asking, "what are the specific proposals?" Axelrod repeated a set of Obama proposals familiar to all political observers now: spending on green energy and "100,000 science and math teachers," tax changes to encourage domestic manufacturing, etc., and Axelrod concluded, "I believe these plans will pass." The host was quick to point out, "But they haven't passed." Axelrod admitted that "some of these proposals haven't passed," to which Crowley argued they are "goals," rather than realistic accomplishments. When asked how preserving proposals the president has had for the past two years would not constitute a "stay the course" strategy, Axelrod offered, well, more of the same, explaining that "the president has a series of specific proposals around education, around energy . . . We need a long-term plan, not taglines for a show like this."

Dorenko suggested to burn his books in the centre of Tallinn
Chief editor of radio station "Moscow speaking" Sergei Dorenko commented on own radio the possible removal of their books from Estonian shops. He said that applauded this decision and suggested ways for further developments.

The conflict arose after the Estonian book stores Apollo and Rahva Raamat" was a RAID of a local "Congress of Ukrainians" in search of publications that "offend the dignity of the Ukrainian people and the honor of the Ukrainian state".
In a list compiled by community activists included not only the book Dorenko "Russia, rise up! Riot Defrocked", but also the works of Yevgeny Satanovsky, Eduard Limonov, Nikolai Starikov, Alexander Dugin and Dmitry Rogozin.
Read about the banning of these books in Ukraine.
In the end, according to "Moscow speaking", part of the books was withdrawn from sale, it does not specify whether the injured circulation Dorenko.
He himself, however, claims that his book also fell under the exemption, but noted that glad. From his point of view, this incident is kind of advertising, brings happiness to Ukrainians, and Estonians allows "to prove their Europeanness".
At the same Dorenko believes that his "Rebellion Defrocked" (a pseudonym of the journalist in the Network — ed.) does not offend people, and in the book he only "says the deconstruction of the Ukrainian state", which is held by the Ukrainians themselves.
Note that in the Preface to the text Dorenko expressed support for the "Russian world", about the inhabitants of the South-East of Ukraine refused to support the breakaway Republic, speaks as of "dark hamlet with the population consciousness", accusing him of unwillingness to make history, and calls for "attack America", even "symbolically".
Commenting on the seizure of his books, Dorenko suggested that the citizens of Estonia to burn the circulation on the Central square of Tallinn to the happiness of all Estonians, Ukrainians, and me (again — ed.)".Related posts:

Have you ever had a moment in your life that was so surreal that you couldn't believe it was happening? I did today. I learned the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department was going to come to my downtown Indianapolis apartment with a search warrant and try to confiscate my computer.
I was surprised too. They reportedly wanted to know what my "connection" is with Indy Undercover. I think it's something else which I'll get to in a moment. Luckily, common sense has prevailed for now and someone decided catching real criminals would be a more important use of the taxpayers' money.
I freely admit to reading Indy Undercover (the police blog) and I know some of the guys who do it. I'll even admit it was my idea over lunch one day. I got tired of hearing them complain and told them to start a blog like everyone else in this town. It's better for people to have a forum where they can complain than me having to listen to it. They've sent me items and I've returned the favor a time or two. That's what I do as your friendly neighborhood arms dealer. I read the news but not the comment section because I don't trust it.
I know the top brass hates Indy Undercover and some of them can't stand me personally because of my criticism, but I never thought people would go this far. What I honestly think this is about is that for the past week I have been working on a story involving alleged child sexual abuse by a very prominent and wealthy local Democrat. I won't mention the name but the Department of Child Services confirmed there is an open investigation and IMPD is looking into it also.
I like to think that no elected or appointed official would ever abuse their power, but I've been around long enough that I would not be surprised if the true purpose of the warrant would be to squelsh the publication of that story by confiscating my home computer.
I hope I'm wrong. But it also makes me wonder some other things. Have local law enforcement officials been monitoring my Internet usage, phone calls and engaging in other surveillance? And if it would be done to a very public and vocal person like me, what about your average citizen who doesn't have a radio show, blog, newspaper column or television access?
Anyone who knows me knows that I am a big supporter of law enforcement. And if not for an unexpected venture into talk radio a few years ago, I would have probably been a county prosecutor back home.
I know there are bitter feelings about the last election and my role in it as a voice and forum for the voters, but it's really sad if things have come to this.
For the first time in my life, I really do hope I'm wrong.

Hello, friends. As promised, here's the last installment of my vacation news. We're back and working, catching up on things that were waiting for us.
Our vacation trip was splendid. We did all the things we wanted to do, ate yummy US food (the food here in Calgary is…well, it's not a foodie culture), visited with friends from Los Angeles, and relaxed. I think relaxation was the most important thing. The weather in Vegas wasn't that great, mostly cloudy and gray, but it didn't matter from our suite on the 36th floor. The view was always fresh and pretty. I highly recommend the Venetian resort.
I don't have photos to share with you. Although we had some photo-ops, we were forgetful and didn't take photos as we should have. But I do have a video. I've never posted a vid on this blog before, so bear with me if it links funny or something.
The video is of the fireworks that were shot off at the stroke of midnight on New Year's night, while we were in Las Vegas. Three things I'd like to point out. First, stay through the end to see the grand finale. It's worth seeing. Second, my husband misspeaks in the soundtrack. The fireworks came from 7 hotels (including the top of ours, right overhead as we were on the top floor). And third, check out the reflection of our hotel's fireworks off the windows of the Palazzo nearby.
Foodie moment: We ate at a funky restaurant called Sushi Samba, one night. It was a kind of wild, primitive setting, despite being at the Palazzo hotel. There were crazy graffiti pictures on the walls, and a repeating video of tribal dancing projected in several spots. The food was a combination of Brazilian, Portuguese, and Japanese. That sounds pretty weird, huh? But it was remarkably good. Strange, but good. We ordered in the Japanese style: "omakase", which means "trust." You set a price point and trust the chef will offer dishes that meet your expectations at that price. They did a superlative job with it. There was more food than we could eat. The cocktails were also unique and delicious. If you want an good foodie experience that leads to stories, try Sushi Samba at the Palazzo hotel in Las Vegas.
Speaking of stories, I have one last trip story to impart. Our return trip was travel hell. The weather was wet (unusual for the desert, even in winter), but we weren't daunted. It seemed pretty mild to us. And, because it is an international flight, we got to the airport about 3 hours in advance of our 6:40 p.m. flight. Those are always boring hours, but we were armed with our iPads, books, and I had my knitting, so we were prepared. We got through check-in and security with no problems. Both of us hate the "naked body scanners" (body x-ray system) but we persevered and took our radiation dose. Once we got to the gate we got an unpleasant surprise, however: our plane was delayed by 5 hours. The rain had, apparently, prevented a lot of flights from landing at McCarren (Las Vegas' international airport) because that airport has no Automated Landing System, which is technology used by a great many airports for bad-weather landings. Generally, Las Vegas has good weather, so such an expensive system had never been necessary. So, because of this rainstorm, flights into McCarren were delayed or even canceled.
We dreaded the idea of sitting at the airport gate for 5 extra hours (remember, we were already early by 3 hours, so the total would have been 8), so we cast about for solutions. We have an American Express card, and found out that American Express has a "club" at McCarren. We sought it out and discovered that for a fee, we could utilize their lounge, including free food and cocktails, for our wait time. We jumped at the chance. There were couches, comfy chairs, tables, power sockets, decent food, and ever-flowing alcohol (and other drinks). The place was quite busy owing to all the delayed flights, but it had room for us, and it was a hugely better alternative to the hard chairs at the gate. So we knitted, read, and video'd until it was time for our plane to board. We got to the gate again and saw that the flight was still 5 hours behind, but we were nearing the end goal, so we sat and waited, and waited, and waited. Eventually, the plane was ready to board just before midnight. Leaving at midnight meant that we'd be landing at about 3 a.m.
Ken and I had not brought parkas with us to Las Vegas. It seemed stupid to drag heavy weather gear on our vacation where it would certainly not be used, so we were woefully unprepared for a middle of the night landing in Calgary. As the pilot was taxiing the plane into Calgary international airport, he said that the temperature outside was "minus 50" (Celcius, which is about -58 F). We thought of what it would be like waiting in the frostbite-inducing outdoors while hailing a cab in the middle of the night, and decided to stay overnight (or over what was left of the night) at the Delta Hotel at the Calgary airport, and embark on our homeward ride right from the taxi stand at the hotel at a reasonably "warm" time of day the next day (Wednesday). So we trudged through the airport, never going outside, until we got to the hotel, checked in–this was about 4:15 a.m. because we had to go through customs at the airport. Turns out, the pilot of the plane had actually said it was "minus 15" not 50 (so about 5 F), and we probably could have braved the cold for just long enough to get home. But c'est la vie; we were tired, and it seemed like a good idea at the time to stay at the airport hotel. The next afternoon, we got a cab and trundled home. Our last day of vacation–intended to be a post-travel rest and recuperation day–was completely lost. But, at least we had that cushion day and didn't need to worry about going immediately back to work the same day we got home.
That was our "travel hell" experience. Awful as it was, the vacation was worth the travel inconvenience. We had a lovely time and anticipate something equally lovely for our 25th anniversary, just 5 years away.
Thanks for following along my anniversary maunderings. Back to normal now!

GEMINI (pronounced JEM'n-eye) the Twins
Chart showing the constellation.
This constellation dates from ancient times, representing a pair of twins, the sons of Leda, holding hands. We know these twins as Castor and Pollux, members of the Argonaut's crew. They are half brothers since their fathers were King Tyndareus of Sparta and Zeus, respectively. The twins were the patron saints of mariners, appearing in the ship's rigging as St. Elmo's Fire. In ancient times, Ptolemy assigned eighteen stars to Gemini.
The Geminid meteor shower appears to radiate from a point in near Castor. This shower is one of the richest and most brilliant during the year, reaching a maximum around December 14th.
To find Gemini look north in the late evening sky, and find the bright belt stars of Orion marking the base of the "Pot". Look to the right to find the bright star Procyon in Canis Minor, and then drop down to find the bright pair of Castor and Pollux.
Chart showing Gemini - as seen about 11.00 pm (NZDT) mid February.
The chart shows the horizon from the south of New Zealand. For places further north, the horizon would be lower on the chart, that is the constellations higher. Some stars hidden for southern observer, would be just above the horizon for more northerly observers.
Details of some of the objects shown in the chart.
α Geminorium, Castor is an astounding multiple star of six components. To the unaided eye it appears as a blue-white magnitude 1.6 star 52 light years away, but a small telescope will split this into two close components of magnitudes 2.0 and 2.9, which orbit each other in 467 years. Both stars are spectroscopic binaries, and small telescopes show a 9th magnitude red dwarf companion, which is itself an eclipsing binary star.
β Gem, Pollux at magnitude 1.1, is the brightest star in the constellation despite being "beta". This is mainly because Johann Bayer, who labelled the stars with Greek letters in 1603, did not carefully distinguish which was the brighter star of the "Twins". Pollux is 33.7 light years away.
γ Gem, is a magnitude 1.9 blue-white star 105 light years away.
δ Gem is a creamy-white star of magnitude 3.5 with a reddish magnitude 8.1 companion. The contrast between the brighter and faint companion make the pair difficult in small apertures. The brighter star is a spectroscopic binary with a 6.13 year period.
ε Gem is a magnitude 3.0 yellow supergiant star 903 light years away. Powerful binoculars or a small telescope reveal a 9th magnitude companion.
ζ Gem is both a variable star and a binocular double star. The yellow super-giant star is Cepheid variable 1170 light years away, fluctuating between magnitude 3.7 and 4.1 every 10.2 days. Binoculars or small telescopes reveal a wide 8th magnitude unrelated companion star.
η Gem is 349 light years away and another double variable star. This red giant star fluctuates in a semi-regular manner between magnitudes 31 to 3.9 every 230 days. It has also a close 8th magnitude companion, requiring a large aperture telescope to distinguish it from the glare of the primary star. The primary star is a spectroscopic and occultation binary with a period of 8.17 years.
κ Gem is a magnitude 3.6 yellow giant star 143 light years away, with a magnitude 9.5 companion star difficult in small telescopes because of the brightness contrast.
ν Gem is a blue-white star 503 light years away with a wide 9th magnitude companion.
38 Gem is a beautiful double star for small telescopes, shining like gems in a field sown with scattered stars. Its white and yellow components are of magnitude 4.7 and 7.6 lying 1500 light years away.
M 35 (NGC 2168) is a large bright star cluster visible to the unaided eye from a dark sky site. Binoculars or small telescopes at low magnification show the 200 or so stars that make up this cluster to be in curving chains. It lies about 2600 light years away.
NGC 2392 is a large moderately bright 8th magnitude planetary nebula, known as the Eskimo or Clown Face Nebula, because of its appearance in large telescopes or photographs. Small telescopes show it as a fairly large rounded blue-green disc. Its central star is of 10th magnitude.
Gemini is north of the equator so fairly low for New Zealand observers. The centre of the constellation is due north at about 10.00 pm (NZDT) in mid of February. The brightest star, Pollux, β Gem, is due north about an hour later. For New Zealand viewers, with the Sun setting earlier during the following three months, Pollux will remain visible as soon as the sky is dark after sunset. It will be to the north during March and early April, but will gradually move round to the north-west and get lower during the rest of April and May.

Catching up on reading over the weekend, I came across a report Goldman Sachs published in March about China's "new consumer class." ("The Rise of China's New Consumer Class.") The title is a bit deceptive: the researchers at Goldman note correctly that there is not a single class of consumer, but several. They're partly right.
The problem with the Goldman report is that it focuses on income as a primary differentiator. While income has some practical value as a predictor of consumer behavior in China (poor peasants are unlikely to be potential buyers for Rolexes or megayachts,) that value is limited because incomes are not as closely tied to buying power as they are in other economies, and for two immediate reasons.
First, as one friend of mine noted on Twitter, incomes are notoriously hard to pin down in China. Reporting is spotty, and even the Chinese government lacks the wherewithal to really understand an individual's income. What is more, there is a vast population of individuals who nominally make very modest incomes (government officials, leaders of state-owned enterprises, senior military officers), but whose actual buying power far exceeds their incomes. Add a third group – those who supplement their incomes via transfers from relatives overseas – and you can see how any company that targets its consumers by nominal income is going to miss a massive chunk of their addressable market.
Second, China's consumers tend to consume based less on their income than on their desire for face and fulfillment. Purchases of automobiles (which are 12 to 14 times more expensive in China than in the US based on income and price differences), high-end mobile phones, and houses are far out of line with the incomes of those buying them. Parents and even grandparents will often kick in their own savings to help a young man make a downpayment on a house; newly-graduated urban workers will spend up to three months of their income on a mobile phone or a laptop; and the more entrepreneurial will take up a side business off the books or even engage in illicit activity to allow them to have the things they desire.
Classifying China's consumers by income is, at best, an economics exercise. Classifying them by their values and priorities is far more relevant to businesses, and is a far better indicator of the degree to which you have a market – or not – in China.

She has traveled the world shooting for Red Bull and Embrace, and logged hundreds of hours shooting on tour with Diplo and Skrillex. She is... TheSuperManiak. This Wednesday TheSuperManiak will be launching her first solo exhibition with us at Nuvango Gallery and for those of you who can't meet her IRL we thought we would ask her a few questions to help her fans from far, far away feel a bit closer. Read on to learn more about Maria Jose Govea, aka-TheSuperManiak:
Nuvango: Where does the name SuperManiak come from?
Maria, TheSuperManiak: I used to dj under the name Maniak, so when I started doing photography I added the Super part to separate the two careers. I'm not sure how I came up with the super part, I guess I was feeling great that day.
N: From DJ'ing music to documenting it?! What prompted the career change?
TheSuperManiak: I never meant to stop djing, but I got way too busy with my photography and I had to make the incredibly tough decision to set djing aside. I couldn't do both and give both careers my 100%. I miss it so much!
N: What kind of camera do you use? Any fav lenses? Fav editing software?
TheSuperManiak: Canon 5D Mark III and my Canon 50 1.4 is my fav baby at the moment.
N: Can't help it. ..gotta ask, that's a cute accent… where are you from?
TheSuperManiak: I'm from Venezuela! Born and raised. Moved to Toronto when I was 23 to study film and stayed here.
N: What does Festival Season mean to you?
TheSuperManiak: I used to be a raver. Then I became a DJ. Now I'm a music photographer. Festival Season pretty much sums up what my life has been since I was a teenager. Music means the world to me, so these images are sort of the visual soundtrack to my life.
N: Is there a particular artist/photographer/creator you look up to? If so, who and why?
TheSuperManiak: I look up to so many people!! Hi Wes Anderson! Hi Tarantino! Hi Ryan Mcginley! Hi Spike Jonze! Hi Michael Jackson! Hi world! You get the idea :)
N: Nuvango fans… if you haven't checked out Ryan's work, we highly recommend it!
N: Your photography has taken you all over the world… is there a dream project and location that you really want to be a part of/go to?
TheSuperManiak: Of course - Space! (I mean it).
N: What's next for you?
TheSuperManiak: Breakfast in bed.

We're adding lots of new chapter books to the shelves at the Juneau Public Libraries - look for the latest in The Stoneheart Trilogy, the first in a new series called In the Cards, and new titles from favorite authors like David Adler, as well as the titles below.
"Uh-oh, Cleo," by Jessica Harper.
Sometimes a day that seems normal turns into something else entirely. Stitches Saturday is that kind of day for eight year-old Cleo. When she wakes up, there's oatmeal for breakfast. Then she plays with her dolls while her twin brother's toy soldiers wage war on their big sister's animals. And then it's time to play Candy Land, which is on top of a tippy bookcase. They should have waited for Mom, but Jack does his best Spiderman crawl up the shelves and nearly has the box when everything (including the bookcase) comes down. Something hits Cleo on the head and she's scared when she first sees the blood on her hand, but her mom and dad know just what to do!
"When the Sergeant Came Marching Home," by Don Lemna.
Donald's thrill at having his father home safe from the war is eclipsed when the Sergeant moves the whole family out to a farm in the middle of nowhere. Bribed with the possibility of ducks, his little brother Pat goes along with the idea happily, but Don decides he's running away as soon as he saves up enough money. But there's so much to do in the meantime: learn to ride the old plow horse which only turns left, help take care of thankless chickens, sing Gilbert and Sullivan songs in school, and build a rocketship in the yard. Reminiscent of the Great Brain series by Fitzgerald, this is a delightful old-fashioned everyday adventure story.
"Blue like Friday," by Siobhan Parkinson.
Hal lives with his mother and her fiancée Alec, but he longs for the clock to swing back to before-Alec. Now that Alec is actually engaged to his mom, Hal's going to have to learn to get along or be sent off to boarding school. So, Hal's come up with a plan, but it doesn't include being nice. He and his best friend Olivia plot to get rid of Alec once and for all, but things go badly wrong and it's Hal's mom who disappears. This Irish import has a glossary for the few words that kids will need to know, but this brisk and funny story will carry readers over most literary speedbumps.
"The Possibilities of Sainthood," by Donna Freitas.
For seven years, ever since her father's death, Antonia has written to the Vatican regularly to propose herself as the first living saint (the Patron Saint of Daddy's Heart was her first suggestion), but they keep turning her down. But that's okay: there are plenty of other things on the now fifteen year-old's mind. Like Andy Rotellini, who's just started work at her family's grocery store, and disguising her Catholic school uniform as something trendier. Told in Antonia's frank and sunny voice, this is a lovely story of a girl who sees miracles in the everyday, who wants to grow up to be a good person, and who understands that it doesn't mean she'll miss all the fun of life.
"The Truth about Las Mariposas," by Ofelia DumasLachtman.
Anxious to earn enough money to buy her first car, sixteen year-old Caro takes a job at her Aunt Matilde's bed-and-breakfast for part of the summer while Matilde's broken foot heals. When she arrives, Caro finds is that her aunt is being harassed by her ex-husband, who wants to buy the property - but no one understands why. With the help of her new friends, Andy and Sara, and an observant guest, Caro finally puts the clues together, but will she be in time to save the bed-and-breakfast?
Coming up this Tuesday, Oct. 6, from 5:30-7 p.m. at the downtown library, its Family Night for Preschoolers - stories, songs, a short film, and a light supper. This month's theme is "Under the Sea."

March Madness, high school style, hits Murfreesboro again this week following the just-concluded girls' state tournament. This morning at 10:00 a.m., the TSSAA boys state basketball championships get underway at MTSU's Murphy Center.
The first four games scheduled today are all Class A quarterfinal games. The best may be saved for last, however, as arguably the best two Class A teams in the state will collide when Nashville's Ezell-Harding Academy (31-1) takes on Pickett County (29-1) at 3:15 p.m. today.
The game features two offensively explosive teams with only two losses between them. Coaches and media consider both squads among the top five Class A teams in the state and the teams have been ranked as such all season.
In all of their games including post season play, Pickett County is averaging 86 points a game. During their championship run through the District 7-A and Region 4-A tournaments, they won every tilt by at least 22 points.
Ezell-Harding hopes to continue on its own successful winning roll after capturing the District 9-A and Region 5-A titles. Second year coach Chris Burnett's squad has no seniors and he has already improved on his debut 21-11 finish last season.
The Eagles feature a strong running team with a talented fearsome-foursome of athletic guards, 6-foot-1 Erik Davis and 6-foot-3 Antoine Owens, along with forwards 6-foot-4 A.J. Blackburn and 6-foot-8 Julian Terrell. Collectively, the four all stars average over 55 points per game for the season.

She is coloured with Copics, but spot the deliberate mistake?!?! I didn't look at the coloured images online before I inked her and I thought she was wearing a fluffy little bolero top and leggings, but the images on the website show its an off the shoulder leotard, I did laugh when I compared the two images, but I still think she looks OK.
Here's a close-up of the colouring and it also shows the 'fluffy' glitter I used to decorate the trim on her outfit.
The papers are all by Kaisercraft and were in a 6x6 pad free with this month's Simply Cards and Papercraft magazine, I just couldn't pass that one by on the shelves. I've added some DCWV glitter card for an unusual Christmas colour combination of black, purple and green, which by absolute coincidence is the theme for this week's challenge at Crafts and Me!
The bookmark is made with all is the same supplies and, of course, the beauty of the digi stamp is you can shrink it down really easily in a word document to any size you want. I coloured he exactly the same to match the card.

Battered, bruised, and missing their two marquee stars, the Hawks hosted the Wild at the United Center looking for two points and a spark in their play that's been lacking in the last few contests. They found both in a hard-earned 3-2 shootout win against the Minnesota Wild, despite forward lines thrown off because of injuries and a last-minute scratch of Johnny Oduya.
Minnesota would get on the board first, after a sho...
The Islanders look to finish up their homestand Sunday afternoon on a high note as they take on their Metropolitan rival Columbus Blue Jackets 1pm at the Nassau Coliseum. It will be the third of four matchups as Columbus has taken the first two, including the Islanders' home opener. In what was a sign for things to come, the Islanders blew a 2-0 third period lead before falling to Columbus in the shootout 3-2. The two met again in Columbus in November where the Blue Jackets scored three times in the third period to win 5-2. (Photo credit: paul.hadsall/flickr).
If in Wednesday's loss to Carolina the Flyers showed times of no effort, it was in Thursday's loss that they showed 60 minutes of no effort.
The Flyers lost 5-2 to Columbus in a game they never got out of the starting gate. Ray Emery allowed five goals and played the entire game to keep Steve Mason rested.
At most, the 2013 NHL season has two games remaining. The Chicago Blackhawks have the opportunity to send the Boston Bruins home without any new hardware, as a win tonight would make them this year's Stanley Cup Champions.
With that being said, the New York Islanders organization has been preparing for the NHL Entry draft, as well as free agency.
As we jump ahead to July 5th, there are a handful of players that the Islanders might consider for the 2013-2014 roster that may make them a better contending team for next season's playoff run.
When three of the Flyers top defensemen go down in a week, it was expected some new, young faces would find the ice to attempt to make an impact.
For one Dane, it was an opportunity of a life time.
Oliver Lauridsen made his NHL debut in the Flyers 3-1 win over Boston. He played over 17 minutes, all even strength, and registered a shot on goal.
Lauridsen became only the eighth player from Denmark to wear an NHL jersey. He was the first to put on a Flyers uniform.
(Pictured: Oliver Lauridsen delivers a check to Jordan Caron. Photo by Bruce Bennett/Getty Images)
For the first time since March 15 the Flyers knew what it felt like to win a game.
The Flyers snapped a four-game losing streak, beating the Bruins 3-1 Saturday afternoon. It was a hard-earned win for the Orange and Black, who ran into a long string of bad luck the past two weeks.
Ilya Bryzgalov was absolutely fantastic in the win, stopping 33 shots to earn the win.

With all the talk about a possible lockout which could result in a shorten or even a cancelled season, there is one guarantee for the hockey season and that is the release of one of the best video games ever; NHL 2013.
Earlier this month the NHL 2013 ratings were leaked to Yahoo! Sports writer, Puck Daddy and he separated them into two posts, one being the Eastern Conference teams and the other for, you guessed it, the Western Conference teams.
Anyone who has played "NHL" knows how realistic the game can be. When looking at the ratings for the Islanders, there were some questionable choices made by EA Sports, but there were also some spot on ones. Let's take a look at the ratings for the whole Islanders team.(Photo Credit: Yahoo/Puck Daddy)
The Winnipeg Jets are now a game above .500, and evened up the season series with the Boston Bruins as they downed the bears in a hard fought and entertaining 2-1 win on Tuesday night.
Once the puck dropped, the game took on a physical tone that sustained itself throughout the entire game. Winnipeg would be the first to catch a bad look from the ref on the phyiscal play as Jim Slater took a slashing call for breaking the stick of Dennis Seidenberg. Although the Bruins powerplay was very strong, they only managed to muster up one shot with the extra man.
The back and forth game continued as the two teams exchanged chances for a majority of the...
"When you play this game you need to play with fire, you need to play with passion, you need to play with determination, you need to play with desperation. You need to have ice bags after the game, maybe a little blood dripping right now. When you lace your skates up the guy across from you, the guy on the right, on the left of you need to know that you got their back and we're going to play for one another. And that just didn't happen tonight and I don't have the answers why."
This is how head coach Jack Capuano started his post-game press conference after a humiliating 6-0 loss to the Boston Bruins. Fired up and with his blood boiling, Capuano came out like a...
The Habs have beaten the Bruins for the second time in as many games in a spirited affair in the Bell Centre. The Habs opened the scoring and never looked back. They are playing a more cohesive game since the firing of Perry Pearn.
The coaching staff is more animated and the team is playing with more life than they have played in a long while. The effort is there and they are going to the net and the results have started to come through.
The game featured some good scoring chances on both sides and some nice saves on both sides of the ice.
The referees had a tight game, calling the Bruins on many penalties in the first 40 minutes. The Habs power play capitalized on...

Source Protection Office
The Town of Orangeville uses a multi-barrier approach to ensure safe, clean drinking water for all residents. The very first barrier in our multi-barrier approach is Source Water Protection.
What is Source Water Protection?
Source water protection is the protection of municipal drinking water sources such as lakes, rivers and groundwater, from contamination and overuse. Protecting our drinking water sources from pollution in the first place makes it much easier and much less expensive for our water treatment systems to treat the water before delivering it to our taps. By protecting the source of our drinking water we can ensure there is enough clean and safe drinking water for everyone today and in the future.
Where does Orangeville's Drinking Water Come From?
The Town relies on 12 wells to supply groundwater for us to drink. Groundwater comes from rain or snow that seeps below the surface and pools in the cracks and spaces in the soil, sand, and rock. These underground sources of water are known as Aquifers.
How Do We Protect Drinking Water Sources?
The Town is implementing source protection policies to address activities that have the potential to adversely impact the quality and quantity of local drinking water sources.
Source protection policies are contained in a document called the Credit Valley- Toronto and Region-Central Lake Ontario (CTC) Source Protection Plan. The CTC Source Protection Plan outlines the strategy on how municipal drinking water systems will be protected. (Find the plan here: http://www.ctcswp.ca/)
Source protection policies require businesses and landowners to reduce or eliminate risks to water supplies posed by activities identified as significant drinking water threats.
The types of activities that may be classified as significant drinking water threats are outlined below. These threat activities are only designated as significant if they are being carried out in a source protection vulnerable area and meet certain site-specific circumstances.
- Road salt and snow storage
- Fuel storage(liquid fuel + heating oil)
- Chemicals (DNAPLs and organic solvents)
- Water taking ( installing a new well) or reducing recharge (e.g. paving over a grassed area )
- Waste disposal sites
- Sewage works: sewage treatment plants, municipal sewers, septics, stormwater
- Handling, Storage, & Application of
- Nutrients (manure, bio-solids, outdoor livestock areas)
-Commercial fertilizer
- Pesticides
- Aircraft de-icing run-off
What is a Vulnerable Area?
Source protection policies apply to significant threat activities occurring in source protection vulnerable areas. Vulnerable areas are areas of land surrounding municipal wells which contribute water to the well. In these areas, extra care must be taken when conducting activities that may impact water quality and quantity. There are two key types of vulnerable areas in Orangeville: Wellhead Protection Areas for Quality and Wellhead Protection Areas for Quantity. See the map below to find out if you're in a source protection vulnerable area or visit : http://www.ctcswp.ca/protecting-our-water/what-does-this-mean-for-me/
Wellhead Protection Areas for Quality & Quantity
If you are undertaking a significant drinking water threat activity in a source protection vulnerable area, you may be subject to the requirements of the source protection policies. The Town's Risk Management Official (RMO) and Risk Management Inspector (RMI) will be able to tell you whether source protection policies apply to your operation. The RMO and RMI are the Town staff responsible for the implementation of the policies in the Source Protection Plan.
Protecting drinking water is everyone's responsibility. Even if you are not directly impacted by the source protection policies there are many things that you can do to help protect source water. Browse our website for more information on the source water protection initiative and tips on how you can help!

North American airlines are joining forces to fight an EU plan that would see a carbon tax applied to all flights that land in Europe.
The Air Transport Association of America, which represents the dominant U.S. air carriers, filed suit in the European Court of Justice in Luxembourg on Tuesday against new rules, set to come into effect in January, that will see a carbon cap-and-trade system applied to all flights coming in and out of Europe.
Though ATAA is leading the charge, the National Airlines Council of Canada (which speaks on behalf of Air Canada, WestJet, Air Transat, Jazz and others) is lending its support to the lawsuit.
Starting in January, the European Union is demanding that all carriers that take off or land in EU territory emit no more than a set amount of carbon dioxide. The carriers can buy extra credits from each other if they exceed that limit or sell credits if they emit less.
The cap for 2012 is set at 212.9 million tons of CO2 — about three per cent less than the average the airlines emitted annually between 2004 and 2006. The following year, the cap will drop another two per cent and stay there until 2020.
The idea is to encourage airlines to become more fuel efficient. Air travel is currently responsible for about three per cent of carbon emissions every year, but that share is increasing as the developing world takes to the skies.
"We don't believe this is an extraterritorial measure, because when an aircraft touches down or departs from a European airport, we have the right to legislate here in Europe," EU spokesman Isaac Valero-Ladron said.
The EU said the impact will be minimal — perhaps a few euros per person on a transatlantic flight. But the industry counters it will cost them up to $1 billion a year and lead to higher fares for customers and fewer routes.
They also say the plan is in violation of the Open Skies agreement, as the EU only has the power to regulate airlines that operate exclusively inside the EU.
China has already threatened to review its contracts for the purchase of Airbus planes if the emissions caps are applied to Chinese airlines. In contrast, Russia is working with the EU to implement equivalent measures demanded by the bloc.
A ruling is expected sometime before 2012.
