An Animated Academy Salute to UPA
Beverly Hills, CA (December 4, 2009) — The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences' "Monday Nights with Oscar®" series will present eight rarely seen United Productions of America (UPA) shorts, including Academy Award® winners "Gerald McBoing-Boing" (1950) and "Mister Magoo's Puddle Jumper" (1956) on Monday, December 14, at 7 p.m. at the Academy Theater at Lighthouse International in New York City. The program has been selected by and will be hosted by Oscar-winning animator, animation historian and author John Canemaker.
UPA was one of the most influential Hollywood studios in animation history, one whose impact is still felt in the eclectic styles of today's animation. During its heyday in the 1950s, UPA's modernist graphic design and experimental techniques moved cartoon films worldwide away from the Disney studio's "illusion of life" representational imagery.
The program will include newly struck 35mm prints from the Academy Film Archive, screened with permission from Sony Pictures.
Tickets for "An Animated Academy Salute to UPA" are $5 for the general public and $3 for Academy members and students with a valid ID. Tickets may be purchased online at www.oscars.org or by mail (a printable order form is available in the Events & Exhibitions section of the Web site). Tickets may also be purchased at the box office prior to the event (subject to availability). All seating is unreserved.
The Academy Theater is located at 111 East 59th Street in New York City. Doors open 30 minutes prior to the event. All seating is unreserved. For more information, visit www.oscars.org or call (212) 821-9251.

For Fleurville founders Catherine and Steve Ganville, first came love, then came marriage, then came baby — and with baby, the need for a diaper bag that was both functional and fashionable. Out of necessity they started making their own bags, then launched Fleurville to serve other style- and eco-conscious parents. Today Fleurville produces an impressive range of products in a variety of vibrant, kid-and-earth-friendly fabrics -- from floral-print sling tote bags and the ergonomically designed MotherShip diaper bag to smaller "Escape Pod" bags, baby carriers and reusable lunch packs.

Yes, it's been ages ... so much for good intentions, which we all know pave the road to hell ....
Road to hell it is with a MMMillipede infestation that makes the house exterior look like it's suffering from reverse-leprosy and the interior floors almost move! The dustbuster is so full of dead/dying millipedes (we're not fussy) it sounds like a maracca!! And that awful crunching sound when you just KNOW you've trodden on one ... happily, the 'bucket of death' provides a safe, convenient disposal point for millipede carcasses we've wrangled off the walls, although if anyone has any suggestions as to what use a bucket of drowned millipedes can be put, we'd be very grateful.
Our neighbours returned from their beach shack the other day warning of a MMMouse plague - mice apparently chewed through the fridge seals to attack the food inside, and covered the carpeted floors and bedding with droppings. ARRRGGGHHH!!! Can't wait to check out our shack - looks like the nice relaxing break we craved will probably be spent knee deep in disinfectant, mouse traps and washing liquid!!
And, the MMMosquitoes! Happily, my partner acts as a decoy when we're in the same room - but sadly, the weather is not yet cold enough to kill them off. Unless of course they're MMMutants! Sometimes the whining is so loud we are forced to consider the possibility that they're not of this world! Our resistance to the inevitable harsh chemicals in the mouse deterrent and removal products (see above) has almost reached total toxic overload levels with the cans of insect killer spray used to quell the nightly whining - is someone out there somehow able to release just one mosquito into our room every night?
MMMmmm... and I haven't even touched on MMMalfunctioning equipment, eMMMergencies or MMMadness yet! Maybe next time!!
NEWSFLASH! My book hits the road! Did you miss my Channel 7 Weekend Sunrise 'Downunder Dunnies' appearance? Watch the Video HERE!
Things that make you go MMMmmm...

Favourite Place #1 - Wycliffe Well, Northern Territory
Wycliffe Well's claim to be the UFO capital of Australia (if not the world!) makes it unique among the roadhouse/diner/pub/motel/caravan park/store/motel complexes en route to Darwin. The aliens at the roadhouse entrance, souvenir alien imprint caps and stubbie holders inside and press clippings detailing UFO sightings over the years pasted to the walls are just the beginning.
Through the gates into the motel and campground the building walls are awash with UFO and alien abduction murals and the grounds full of bizarre statues (the Phantom, the Hulk, a giant spotted pig) dot the grounds. We headed for the 'Elvis' campsite right up near the Galaxy Auditorium opposite the train station where the train makes a daily trip through the park, past Mt Wycliffe and part way around the lakes, before reversing back to the station as there's not yet enough track of the right gauge to go right round.
Climbing Mt Wycliffe - built from cunningly painted corrugated iron against the side of the machinery shed - is easy. A staircase leads from ground to summit with stunning views over the Wycliffe Well realm. From here, you can spot any statues (and hence photo opportunities) you've missed! And the roadhouse museum full of random eclectica from around the world offers a welcome diversion when you're over watching botched reverse parking as travelers attempt to fit their rigs into not-quite-standard-sized sites.
If you're not up to the Galaxy Auditorium restaurant for dinner or the large selection of exotic beers, the redclaw in the fishing lakes, fed by an underground aquifer, might do the trick! The water purity makes this one of the best spots in the Northern Territory to fill up your tanks.
And if there's not enough excitement at the park, the Devil's Marbles are an easy 20 minute drive north up the highway, perfect for those archetypal outback sunrise/sunset shots over the rocks (see Scenic Public Toilets #1).
Someone with a vivid imagination, determination and healthy dose of eccentricity has developed this outback oasis into one of the quirkiest spots in the country! And one of my personal favourites!!

Australia's Scenic Public Toilets #1
Australia's scenic wonders are generally accessible to the public – meaning nearby facilities such as lookouts, viewing platforms, car parks, camp grounds, picnic tables, BBQs, AND … public conveniences!
SO … one can do what has to be done in some pretty spectacular spots. But which convenience block has Australias best setting? Best views?? Best location???
Or even all three????
Here's #1 - the amenities at the Devil's Marbles campground, south of Tennant Creek in the Northern Territory!! This is close to being my personal fave - but that doesn't mean it's the best. Do you think this this fantastic spot can be beaten?
If so, prove it! Send in a photo to be featured in a future post! In the meantime, enjoy the other photos below!! See ya!!

This is a Sequel to Bella's New Identity
Plot: Bella and Ben are happily married and have a daughter named Emma. Life is Perfect. Even Jake is happy as he imprinted on Emma, or so everyone thinks. But it's a lie. Emma is heart broken when she finds out. But she keeps having these strange dreams she had for year that sprung from her bed time story. Those dreams so real and she wants to find The Prince she keeps dreaming about.
In another world and time Prince Peter is dreaming of Emma and he's in love with her. He wants to find her as well. But he's not human either. He's a Greek God as well, The son of Hera and Zeus to be exact.
But a new boy Caleb is in town. Even though Emma still wants Peter she finds her self drawn to the stranger. But nothing is as it seems. She's in Danger.
What happens when Jacob attacks a boy in the woods who happens to be Peter?
Inspired by this song:
Preface: Emma's Pov:
Dreams. Sounds simple enough right? Well not in my case. Since I was 4 years old but looked like 11, I had those strange dreams for the past 5 years that sprung from a bed time story, I still remember to this day. My dad told it to me one day when I was sleepy and ever since then. I had this vivid dreams, they felt so real. They still do.It makes me wonder if it's all just in my head or if he even exists. All I know is that I need and want to find him.

Chapter 6~The Coronation
Unknown Pov:
I stood leaning against the tree and smirked as I saw him coming over. I flipped my blonde hair back "So have you met the girl yet?" I asked and crossed my arms over my chest.
He nodded as he looked at me with his dark eyes "Yes, that girl is so powerful. I can sense her power. It makes me sick" he spat at the floor "We should get him out of the way first though, then we can target the girl."
I looked at him and nodded "Yes, but he needs to be here for that to work."
He nodded "I know that." He snapped at me "I think I know how we can get rid of the boy when he comes here." He said and he had a playful evil smile on his lips
"Tell me more." I said leaning to him. I wondered what he had in mind to get rid of that boy she keeps dreaming about.
"The dog." He said and I looked at him confused.
"Dog?" I said and laughed "You want us to set a dog on him? That's not going to work. The boy is powerful as well, I doubt a little dog is going to scare him." I said and rolled my eyes
"I meant the stupid werewolf." He said
"Ah, keep talking." I said now intrigued.
He smirked and pulled me to him and brushed his lips against my blonde hair and snarled pushing me away as to make a point "The plan is secret. Now be patient, you will find out soon, very soon" he said and he laughed evily and his laugh carried through the woods and I joined in with the evil laughter.
I looked at him when he stopped "But..."
"No buts.." He said cutting me off as he gripped my blonde hair tightly "You'll do as I say or else. I'll be glad to end you along with the girl, the boy and The Cullen clan" he said and shoved me back into the tree so hard it snapped and it fell back with me onto the soft green grass "Do I make my self clear?"
"Yes...." I was about to call him by his true name but stopped by my self "Yes, Master. Perfectly clear." I said and got up back and brushed off the dirt and sighed "How long do you think before he gets here?"
"Sometime this week" He said and walked off leaving me standing in the clearing off the woods and I smirked. My time for revenge was coming and he was part of it. He was leading the whole thing and our group. I wowed to my self I was going to get my family back for what they did to me before. And the best way was to get rid of Emma and that boy Peter. Those two made me sick. I spat at the ground and smirked and walked off wiggling my hips side to side as I walked past my master in a flirty way.
Emma's Pov:
I walked home and smelled something off so span around and ran back in that direction and stopped seeing the blonde girl again "You!"
"Oh hello, Emma isn't it?" she smirked with a playful smile, but it was an evil playful smile.
I glared at her "How do you know my name?" I asked as I crossed my arms over my chest and the wind blew my hair into my face slightly.
"Oh I know a lot more about you then you think." She said and laughed as she stepped to wards me and I kicked her into a tree
"Come near me again and I'll make sure, that kicking you into a tree will be the least of your worries." I snarled at her, fearless and full of power. I was not scared of her. She some how reminded me the cousins of my family. Especially Kate and Irina.
She laughed "Oh you don't scare me dear."
"Well maybe you should be scared, as you have no idea who you're dealing with." I said. I had no idea how wrong I was.
She laughed "I know who I am dealing with exactly. Your name is Emma Isabella Rosalie Cullen. You're a Hybrid. Your Parents are Benjamin and Isabella. You're 16 years old but really younger then you look. And you have more powers then any of the Cullen family." She said and smirked. I swallowed. Okay wow, she was good.
"How do you know that?" I asked
"Oh, I have my ways, dear. I have my ways." She said as she laughed and then she was gone. I stared after her and shook my head. This was not good. I ran back home and stopped seeing everyone looking at me like I just woke up from a nightmare or something.
"You okay?" They all asked me at once and then each a different question over each other so it was all a chaos:
"Where have you been?"
"You look like you seen a ghost. Is everything okay?"
"Why do you smell so odd?"
"Who did you s..."
"Stop!" I yelled so they all stopped speaking over each other "I am fine and I smell different? How..." I trailed off "Oh yeah I ran into that blonde person again."
"And?" Dad asked worried
"No worries. She did not hurt me. I warned her by kicking her into a tree but she did seem to know a lot about me and I also ran into this other person. He's rather new and odd." I said
"Odd how?" Carmen chimed in as she was visiting again. She visited every year with the family
"I am not sure, he smelled odd, similar to the blonde pers..." I trailed off when I saw a picture on the table and walked closer, it was a picture of Rosalie and some other blonde girl. I picked it up and almost dropped it when I gasped
"Oh that's just Tanya" Carmen said as she walked behind me and looked at me "You okay?" she asked seeing the fear and shock on my face and in my eyes, it was written so clearly all over me.
I swallowed and shook my head "No, the blonde person was her." I said looking at dad "She was the one who attacked me few years ago. " I said feeling uneasy
"It can't be her." My dad said "I didn't smell her."
"Maybe that's why her scent was different like the boy...." I trailed off again then re-gathered my thoughts "They must be working together or something. If she's been around him then her scent is different so she is disguised."
Mom looked at me "How do you know?"
"She knew alot about me. A lot." I said
"How much is a lot?" Mom asked with dad looking concerned
"She knew my full name, my age, that I was a hybrid and she knew I was related to you and who my parents were." I said
"Did she mention Peter?" Alice asked
I shook my head "No, but she almost did. I could sense it. How does she know about him? I only told my family and Jak....."
"Is Jake working with her?" Mom asked frowning
I felt a shiver go down my spine and shook my head "I don't know. I hope not." I said. Oh god. I felt faint and blacked out. What if Jake was working with her? Then no wonder she knew so much about me. This was not good. There would be a war coming soon, again. Most likely. I felt like I was floating and then I heard a voice .
"Emma? Emma?" I felt someone tap me on my shoulder and I screamed as I span around
"Relax, it's just me Peter" He said and put his hand on my shoulder and I sighed in relief
"Oh sorry, I am just a bit stressed out. I think there's something odd going on back in my world. Like someone is stalking me but or something." I said
"Who?" he frowned looking at me.
"One of my family cousins who left the family a few years back. I know it sounds odd, but she attacked me before and I did not see her. But I ran into her today." I said looking at him
He wrapped his arms around me in a tight hug "I won't let her get you. I promise." he said and he kissed my cheek softly. I nodded and hugged him tightly and leaned my head on his chest and then saw his parents walking over.
"Today is the day." Hera said and I looked more confused then ever.
"What is today?" I asked confused looking at them and then looked at Peter "Do you know what they are talking about?" I said. I looked between them all as they were silent and I looked at them "Please someone tell me what's going on."
"Peter's Coronation." His father said looking at me.
I looked confused and puzzled even more "Like a coronation of a king? But Peter does not have a Queen." I said "Isn't that coronations work?" I asked. I had no idea how it worked here.
Hera shook her head laughing softly "No dear, it does not work that way. Here is works in a different way. Peter is 19 and he's the right age to be the new king of our kingdom, he has the potential, leader ship and he's also the best warrior we have so far."
Zeus nodded "Yes, and after there is the coronation dance."
"Like a ball?" I asked him looking at him
He nodded "Yes and you're Peter's how do you say it in your world? Date or something like that." I turned bright red
Peter chuckled as I stammered "Don't worry. You'll do great." He said and smiled at me softly.
I nodded "Okay, let's hope it goes well then." I said and he squeezed my arm softly to reassure me. Then we walked to the castle and got ready. I had on a dress that was elegant and my hair was curly and some was pined back slightly with lose strands. I had shoes to match While Peter wore Prince Clothing, we rode on the horse to the little square were the coronation was held. I was sitting side ways on the horse as I was told to. My horse next to Peter's. When we got the square there was music playing and people singing, it was some sort of ancient ceremony.
Peter had to kneel down as his father spoke "I Zeus, lord of the Greek Gods, Crown my son Peter High King Peter the Magnificent." He placed a crown on Peter's head and everyone clapped and I smiled at Peter softly as the wind blew in my hair.
Peter smiled back at me and he walked over so some romantic music began to play and he bowed to me "May I have this dance?" he asked kissing my hand softly
I curtsied to him and smiled "You may." He took my hand in his and placed the other on my waist as I rested my free hand on his shoulder and we danced to the music, we moved as one. I smiled looking at him as we danced and I was still aware that many people were watching us dance "Why is everyone watching us?" I whispered to him
"Because I am dancing with the most beautiful girl here." Peter said as he twirled me and then back into his arms and I felt my cheeks blush bright red.
I was about to answer when I heard a voice that send chills down my spine "Well, well look what we have here. If it isn't out little Peter and some maid."
"She's not a maid." Peter hissed and pulled me behind him "What do you want Ares?" he asked, his voice deep and cunning towards Ares.
Ares laughed and smirked "Mhh take a guess my boy." He said
Peter was silent for a while then he snarled at him "You will not touch Emma, understood?" he hissed right at Ares and spat at him in the process slightly.
Ares laughed "Oh, I will get the girl one way or another. Even if I have to fight you for her." He said and smirked looking at me
"Peter no. You can't." I said looking at Peter
"Deal." Peter said totally ignoring what I just said "I will fight you."
"Fine, then tomorrow." He said and left. I swallowed and was paralyzed on the spot with fear. Today went from weird, to good, to bad. How could anything get worse anymore?
The Coronation Music:(two versions of this)
Music Emma and Peter Danced Too:
This is from Romeo and Juliet: I thought this was just so utterly beautifully sad.
This is from Chocolat: This is so melodic and sweet music.
This is from Titanic: This is the epic theme song the Portrait :)
I heard the last 3 songs on a video I watched on the most beautiful songs from movies. And I loved these three and could not decide which one to use, so I used all of them.
So here was chapter 6 and full of drama you could say. Who are the two people that will want to attack Emma and Peter and who was the male person talking about when he said the werewolf? Could it be Tanya and the new boy talking about Jake?
Give me your views, predictions right here and any questions :) Aslo let me know what you think of the music :) and which one is your fave one.
For me it goes:
Romeo and Juliet
and Chocolat.
Also which version of the coronation song sounds better? The one without singing or the one with? I like both but the singing one adds more ancient feel to it. Like a proper coronation of sorts.

6 Common Pet Myths
As a pet owner, you have probably heard several claims from pet ads and other pet owners about what is good and bad for your pet. The truth is that every animal is different, and one thing might get your pet sick, but may not even affect your neighbor's. There are several myths out there about whether or not certain things are okay for your pet. Don't wonder any longer, because the most popular pet myths are debunked below!
1) Cats need milk. Despite all of the cute pictures we see of cats sipping up milk, resist the temptation to offer this in real life. In fact, most cats and dogs cannot break down lactose in milk product, which can lead to diarrhea, vomiting and other tummy problems. To keep your pets hydrated, offer them water and only water.
2) A warm nose means your dog is sick. Not necessarily. A dog's nose can be warm for a number of reasons. Instead of determining that your pup is sick from that, look for other signs of sickness such as lethargy, loss of appetite, coughing, vomiting, and anything else that isn't typical of him. Although a dog's nose can be warm when he is sick or has a fever, but it should not be used to diagnose sickness.
3) Cats always land on their feet. This is actually not true, although every cat owner wishes it was! If you have a window, or other high area that your cat could fall from, keep it inaccessible from him. There are plenty of other ways you can stimulate his instincts, such as hiding kitty treats around the house of attaching a string to the wall that he can play with.
4) Kissing your dog is not harmful. Think about where your dog's tongue has been, still want him to kiss you? It is actually possible for humans to contract salmonella poisoning and other infections from a dog's mouth. But if you insist on being affectionate with your pet, keep his mouth as clean as possible by brushing his teeth, letting him chew bones, and bringing him in for regular veterinary check-ups to rule out dental problems.
5) Dogs eat grass because they like the way it tastes. This can be true, depending on your pet. Some animals do like to graze every once and a while. However, grass eating can pinpoint a stomach problem, such as gastritis or acid reflux disease. If you notice your pet chowing on grass regularly, you may want to take him to the vet for a check-up.
6) Flea collars are effective. This is not true, because the flea collar is only effective where the collar touches. Dogs with flea collars can still contract fleas. Instead of relying of these to prevent fleas, use products like Frontline that are proven to be effective.
Although these are not all of the pet myths that you hear from day to day, they are all very common, and trigger some of the most popular questions veterinarians get asked. Next time you hear a myth, get confirmation from a veterinarian to determine the reality behind it.

Canucks at Oilers, G34/07-08
That's McCabe to Messier's right, isn't it? And Naslund and Lumme to the left of Bure? What a strange group.
I know Sanford has played well against the Oilers in the past, still, it makes a hell of a difference when Luongo isn't in the Vancouver net. I like the Oilers chances to outplay and outchance the Nucks tonight.
And now would be a good time for Stoll and Torres to start putting some pucks in the other guy's net, too.
Torres is out for the game. Sanderson replaces him.
Unless 'bookends' is used ironically, it couldn't be more off the mark.
Bure is still regarded as the lone legitimate superstar skater the Canucks have ever had. Out here, it's considered a crime against hockey that he's not in the farcical Hall of Fame.
Messier, on the other hand, won a recent radio poll that basically asked, "what ex-Canuck do you hate the most."
When he was recently sainted in Edmonton, the media here spent day after day complaining that he was an over-the-hill, non-productive, icetime-hogging, spotlight-grabbing douche-bag.
He is easily the most hated pro athlete in Vancouver history. Easily.
Not a Canucks fan. Not even close. Juse reporting what I hear.
Art: That's exactly why I wrote it. I have several Canucks friends who are always asking my wife about the town she grew up in (Medicine Hat) because Linden is/was from there, and they talk about Bure the way we talk about our dozen or so HOFers.
Poor bastards.
Lupul with 3 Goals today
PJO: Really? Wow. Amazing week for him.
6 min of great hockey, some nice move by Pitkanen and Nilsson-Gagner looks good too.
But Garon plz stay in the net if you gonna do a stupid play like that.
This has been stunning hockey but the Oilers need to be ahead 1-0.
It'll bite them in the bum, mark my words.
Bite them in the sense that they'll be giving Vancouver a point for taking it to the shootout?
I agree.
I'm really liking Nilsson out there – he's playing with confidence. Gagner too, willing to battle along the boards. First line needs to get some more SOG.
What a boring game though.
Methinks we're getting overconfident or even cocky about our SO success.
Even if we win, that means that Vancouver goes up one more point. That might be the point we need to make the playoffs (not that I'm predicting we're making the playoffs).
Oilers haven't picked it up after Sourays shot broke the glass.
It feels like Vancouver is gonna win this one with a fluke goal by one of those horribel twins.
How is this game still 0-0.
Come on Pitkanen to Hemsky to Horcoff!
At last Hemsky woke up, great but risky play by Souray on the blue line and what a finish by Shawn the Sniper.
The Oilers have got to stop letting the Canucks get these bonus points.
WTF is with the shootout?
An of course they blow the lead by not clearing the zone when they go the chance.
Why why why!!
I can't take this…my heart is weak. And when did Horcoff get Shanahan's shot.
Shawn the Sniper and San Fernando, but it feels kind of like a loss anyway.
I know what you mean, those 3 points given to Vancouver, especially these last 2, really seem like they'll come back to bite the Oil in the rear.
I think Sanford was the only person around that didn't know Fernando was going to go backhand 5-hole.
Oilers should have won this game imo in the first period. BU G and only one of the Sedins gets a point?
Oh what the heck am I talking about? They WON!
Okay, did anyone else just see and hear P.J. Stock say, "Ryan Horcoff there to take the plasp…" followed by "…Ohlund Johnny on the spot for the winner…er…tie-er".
Why, why, WHY is this man allowed on HNIC.
Also MacT on After Hours, good times.
Also quite enjoyed Cherry talking about Garon's amazing elastic groin, the pre-game talk about how Pisani is a just a stabalizing force, and Hrudey's love for the "rover" Pitkanen.
I worked with Ron MacLean 100 years ago and he's a really good guy, but why don't they just sign the hell off down east after the first game and let the west have their own broadcast?
I mean, are they afraid someone will say something less articulate than PJ Stock?
Hrudey is smarter and better dressed than Clowntime Cherry and although I do enjoy Ron's interviews they've buggered up SHS so badly it's unwatchable.
Mandel apparently is going hardball with Katz. Poor bastard had a nice run I guess.
All this talk about Canucks' road trip. They've played 4 games in 6 nights in 4 different cities, while the Oilers have played 4 games in 6 nights in 4 different cities. Canucks played three in California before jetting to Edmonton, while the Oil played in Texas, Missouri, and Michigan before flying home for what amounts to the last game of the road trip. Not to mention the 19 (!) minutes of overtime they've played this week.
The two teams put on a pretty decent show under the circumstances. I knew immediately the Oil had scored too early when Horcoff finally broke the deadlock, and sure enough, they couldn't make it to the next whistle. This team doesn't have much of an idea about how to hold a lead.
But the shootout magic continues. Things looked grim when they were down to their last life but they hung in there, Garon stood tall with the game on the line, then my two favourite Oilers (Horcoff and Pisani) came through in the clutch as they did so often in '06. What a laser by Horcoff, I've never seen him shoot with such confidence.
Three shootout wins in four days, 10 on the year when no other team in the NHL has won more than four? That's unfuckinbelievable.
It's also unfuckinsustainable, but what the hey, we'll take the free points.
So who's winning the season series now? Oilers 3 wins, Vancouver 2; but Vancouver 7 points (2-0-3), Oilers 6 (3-2-0). Gary Bettman has a lot to answer for when he meets the Great Accountant in the Sky. Which can't happen soon enough IMO.
Thats a pretty harsh comment Bruce.
MacT on After Hours. I love this stuff.
When I was a kid there was a show on CKSA Lloydminster. It was called Talent Hour or something and local folks would play music and such.
It was completely ridiculous of course but it was also live television and anyting (and I mean anything) could happen and often did.
After Hours with Oake is kind of like that. He's clearly capable and very funny, but not clearing a question like radish is insane.
It really is.
Thats a pretty harsh comment Bruce.
Figure of speech. He can have a nice life on the Grand Caymans for all I care, I just wish he would get on with his retirement and stop screwing up our game. In his regime generally accepting accounting principles have been completely abandoned and the standings, statistics and record book are a complete mess.
Case in point: Oilers have 16 wins, individually their goalies have been credited with 16 wins, but their shooters have a combined total of only 6 game winning goals. Bizarre, isn't it? But also unnecessary, if the people in the league office had a clue how to balance their books.
2 SO wins away from Dallas's record of 12 back in 2005-2006
What's this radish thing?
Someone sent a message to Oake on his bberry that asked MacT something like "how did you get the nickname radish?"
Oake asks, MacT said something like "no, never heard that one."
And because the guy has a quick wit, MacT THEN says something like "but I'm certain it'll be mentioned to me a few times from now on."
It was funny, actually. However, it looked clumsy.
He had started the season slow, but has picked it up. He has 7 points in the last 9 games, and is +7 in that span. What I love about him is the fact he puts up numbers on Even-strength, not relying on the PP to pad up his stats.
Last 9 games TOI:
Meanwhile, MacT isn't doing anything to cut down Souray's time
Since his return:
Interesting to note he's got a point in all 3 games and is +1 in that time. He's also only been a minus player 2 out 9 games.
Yet, he looks awkward and a liability on the ice. Go Figure.
Staios was down to ~20 minutes tonight. +1 tonight.
"He is easily the most hated pro athlete in Vancouver history. Easily. "
Steve Francis IMO.
"Staios was down to ~20 minutes tonight. +1 tonight."
Staios takes a lot of flack on the boards for his play. I think of him more as miscast in his role than a bad player. If the Macedonian is on your 3rd pairing getting 15-20 min a night you have a pretty good group.
I haven't seen much of Souray so I am just forming an opinion of him. The most glaring thing I see from him is his constant lack of effort getting back for pucks in his own end. He is getting beat to pucks regularly. I can forgive lack of talent, foot speed or making the occasional mistake but to coast in and let the other team get possession in your own end is just plain lazy.
Yeah there was an instance in OT where Souray was "out of gas," but didn't even attempt to obtain the puck after a dump-in.
He's strong along the boards though, and has a long reach with his stick.
Another shootout. That's just nuts.
A nice showing for Garon. I wish the Oil could wrangle into that 8th spot so that we can ride him through a couple of rounds with the way he's been playing. Chalk up his first win for his baby born Friday.
Curtis Sanford loses! Ha! Why that guy is ten times the goalie he usually is when he plays the Oil is mindbending.
Souray broke the freaking rink! On a wobbler even! You have to be half crazy to stand in the way of this guy's shot. You can say what you want about him but he's been on the scoresheet every night and he is making an impact.
Good to see Sanderson playing again. Back injuries are a bitch, especially at his age.
Good times.
I had to laugh at Sanford breaking his stick after San Fernando's goal. It just felt right, I dunno.
Also, I found the radish comment odd, specifically because I seem to remember my dad mentioning that as a MacT nickname back in the day. Perhaps an early Oilers-fan invention, a la Scorcoff, etc.?
… they talk about Bure the way we talk about our dozen or so HOFers.
It's true, although if Pavel would have had a decent cast to play with, at any time, he certainly could have been more widely regarded as being as good as he was. Some of those Vancouver teams were hideous, and the fact he went and potted 60 goals in Florida speaks volumes when it comes to his talent level.
Imagine Bure on a contender for the prime of his career? He'd be a slam dunk Hall of Famer.
He probably still is.
Yeah, the Bure in Fla season was something to behold. Not many people bring that up anymore and I have no idea why.
All that being said, AG and the boys had a good time making fun of Macguire and his Crosby love but fucking Hughson is just as bloody bad with the Sedins. I don't even think anyone can debate this.
Everytime he does a Van game on Sat night, it's like he's doing it on a joint basis for Sportsnet Pacific and the Sedins family.
And it's gotten so bad that he's even dragging Simpson into it. The other night, for instance, Simpson was talking about "The Shift", ie the PP where the Sedins controlled the puck for a full two minutes.
Memo to Hughson and Canucks fans: you've never won a fucking thing.

Unfortunately, failure and setback are part of every person's journey through this life. No way around it. Gotta go through it.
However, just because you're experiencing a personal setback of sorts -- whether it's a breakup, a divorce, job loss, financial pitfalls, or just hard times in general -- it doesn't mean you are forever doomed to live beneath the pile of tissues and twisted sheets and dirty laundry you've buried yourself under. The setback is just where you are right this minute. It's not where you will always be.
So c'mon. Try to straighten your body out of fetal position. Maybe even lift a few of those snotty, tear-soaked tissues and walk them to the wastebasket. There you go. That's it. Baby steps. Baby steps to your very own comeback. Girl, it's gonna get better! And here are 13 inspiring quotes to light your way.
Sorry to interrupt this morning after The Good Wife and temporarily dislodge you from sobbing in fetal position, but OHMYGOD. I need to talk, people. Who wasn't shocked? I was shocked. My mind was blown (and my heart broken). I hate you, prime time bombshells.

Well, here's what I say. Don't underestimate your local drugstore. Beyond the decent bottles of wine, pricey liquors, and that rack of gift cards to pretty much anywhere (all good gifts in their own right), most drugstores have lots of nice gifts no one will guess came from the drugstore.
On The Prowl, we rounded up all kinds of fun presents just to show you the possibilities. Check out this preview of gift-worthy goods you can find right at your local drugstore.

The Phils couldn't have won a one-run game last year if they had read a book about why not to pinch-run for Pat Burrell in the sixth inning. How bad was it? Pretty bad. Here's the overall record, record in one-run games, non one-run games and the difference in winning percentage in non-one run games and one-run games for the teams in the NL East in 2007:
|89-73 (.549)
|14-23 (.378)
|75-50 (.600)
|88-74 (.543)
|22-15 (.595)
|66-59 (.528)
|84-78 (.519)
|18-25 (.419)
|66-53 (.555)
|73-89 (.451)
|27-24 (.529)
|46-65 (.414)
|71-91 (.438)
|22-24 (.478)
|49-67 (.422)
Overall, the Mets and Marlins were pretty close to the same in one-run games and games decided by more than one run. The Nats had a much better winning percentage in one-run games. The Phils were awful and the Braves were bad too, just not as bad as the Phillies.
Along with the Mets, the Phils played the fewest one-run games in the division last season (37). The Nationals played the most with 51. This also means the Phils played the most non-run games in the division along with the Mets. In non one-run games, the Phils dominated the division, playing to a .600 winning percentage.
If I were to guess about the primary problems for the Phils in one-run games my top two would be the terrible bullpen and the insistence on replacing good players with bad ones that were better defensively late in games. The Phils' pen was certainly miserable, but looking at the teams in the NL East, the Braves also struggled in one run games and their bullpen was far better (second best in the NL by ERA). The Marlins bullpen was weak and they fared better in one-run games than they did overall. By ERA, the Reds had the worst bullpen ERA in the league last season and they went 26-24 in their one-run games, a .520 winning percentage that was far better than their .444 winning percentage overall for the season. So while the bullpen is surely a factor, it's not the only one.
Whatever the answer, it's something the Phils are going to need to fix in 2008. By a wide margin, using winning percentage as the measure they were the worst team in the NL in one-run games in 2007. The Braves were second worst with their .419. The Pirates, who went 16-22 for a .421 winning percentage, were third worst. One of the reasons it would be a nice thing to figure out is that the Mets are just so effective in one-run games. Over the past two seasons they Phils have gone 36-46 in one-run games while the Mets have gone 53-31.
Yesterday the Phils got seven strong innings from Brett Myers and beat the Reds 6-2 to improve to 6-12 in spring training. Myers allowed two runs on five singles and didn't walk a batter. Madson followed Myers and allowed a single in a scoreless eighth. Blackley pitched the ninth and walked one but didn't allow a hit or a run. With his nice outing, Blackley has his ERA down to 8.22 as he continues his bid for the opening day roster.
Dobbs had the only extra-base hit for the Phils, a double. He was 1-for-3 on the day. Snelling was 1-for-1 with a walk and two RBI. His numbers are suddenly up to 292/393/417 for the spring. Helms was 1-for-2 to raise his average to .300. Rollins' slow spring continued as he went 0-for-3 with a strikeout to drop his average to .158. Jenkins was also 0-for-3 with a strikeout and is hitting .136.
The Phils play Cleveland this afternoon.
Looks like there may be something going on with Shane Victorino, who is hitting 231/250/333 this spring, and Charlie Manuel. In this article Manuel says that the Phillies miss Aaron Rowand's leadership and that some guys can't police themselves. This after Manuel said that just because you're a regular player doesn't mean you always will be.
This reminds that the Phils almost took Rocco Baldelli over Chase Utley in the 2000 draft.
Lots of Phils' players are unfazed by their miserable spring. Manuel seems a little more fazed.

AviBrom is a broad-spectrum, post-harvest antimicrobial that reduces pathogenic Salmonella levels at multiple intervention points during poultry processing. Research has shown up to a 2.5-log reduction in post-chill whole-carcass Salmonella levels when using AviBrom.
AviBrom works in a wide range of water pH so acidifiers arent needed as with some food-safety interventions, says Tom Nicholson, director of sales and technical services for Elanco Food Solutions. That reduces the risk of color and shelf-life issues that poultry processors often see with acid-based interventions.
AviBrom is less reactive to organic matter than a conventional chlorine intervention, which provides greater antimicrobial activity. And when used according to label directions, AviBrom has lower odor and fewer safety issues compared to chlorine so it creates a more favorable environment for plant workers, Nicholson adds. In addition, the AviBrom Application System is easy to install and maintain, and poultry plant managers have peace of mind because the system is supported by the Elanco Food Solutions team.
The worlds population currently consumes 37 million tonnes of dairy products, 65 million tonnes of beef, and 13 million tonnes of sheep meat annually. This is expected to grow in line with population expansion.
Food safety and the human health effects of food are currently high priority for consumers. Breeding for improved product quality, in combination with optimised production and processing regimes, is one approach that will help the Irish dairy and meat sectors ensure animal products of consistently high quality and nutritive value are available.A recently awarded project, BreedQuality, will use state-of-the-art tools to develop phenotypic, genetic and genomic approaches for a national strategy to improve the quality and consistency of milk and meat products from Irish cattle and sheep.
Dr Donagh Berry, Teagasc Animal & Grassland Research and Innovation Centre, Moorepark, explains: To achieve consistency in quality, the underlying meaning of quality to consumers must be described, understood and translated into technical specifications at each stage within the supply chain.
In other words, the determinants of superior quality must first be identified from a marketplace perspective and then explored from a technical standpoint. The first task of the BreedQuality project will be to document the relative importance of quality attributes in delivering consumer and customer satisfaction and this will help guide the focus of the breeding for quality research.
Product quality is traditionally laborious and costly to measure, hindering the routine capture of such information. Therefore, product quality is one of the suites of traits largely neglected from the national breeding strategies in dairy, beef and sheep in Ireland.The task on milk quality in the BreedQuality project builds on recently completed research by Teagasc in the EU-funded project, RobustMilk (http://www.robustmilk.eu). Several methods are currently being explored to develop rapid, low-cost, approaches to routinely assess milk quality. We envisage that within three years Ireland will have implemented a world-class and potentially world-first national breeding strategy for milk quality parameters.Like milk quality, breeding for improved meat quality is hampered primarily by the challenges of routine low-cost measurements of meat quality. However, unlike for milk, individual meat samples are not currently subjected to technologies that can be readily exploited to measure detailed meat quality components.Research at Teagasc and elsewhere, nevertheless, suggests various secondary methods such as near infra-red spectroscopy could potentially be useful to predict meat quality characteristics, particularly colour, drip loss, fat content and fatty acid composition, says Dr Berry.Near infra-red spectroscopy exploits information generated in this region of the electromagnetic spectrum and is amenable to online measurement. Recent Teagasc, UCD and international research has also shown that other tools, such as image analysis, including hyperspectral imaging, computed tomography and Raman spectroscopy are also capable of predicting important aspects of fresh meat quality.
Routine access to large quantities of low-cost, accurate phenotypes, irrespective of the trait, will remain of fundamental importance in animal breeding (and management) for at least many decades.
The BreedQuality project, involving animal scientists, milk and meat scientists, molecular and quantitative geneticists, market researchers and industry, will combine resources and knowledge to produce a set of close-to-implementation tools and algorithms that will result in the implementation of market-based national breeding strategies for improved milk and meat quality.
Carstairs Mains, a mixed livestock and arable farm, is part of the network of Quality Meat Scotland (QMS) monitor farms throughout Scotland.
Calf pneumonia had been an on-going problem for Mr Baillie, who bull-beefs all the bull calves born in his 75 head suckler herd, along with an additional 120 dairy bull calves, purchased at approximately ten weeks old, from two local dairy farms.To give the dairy calves protection against the most common viruses and bacteria which cause pneumonia, they are double-vaccinated on their farms of origin, with a combined viral and bacterial vaccine.Nevertheless, pneumonia had been acknowledged by Mr Baillie to be suppressing the performance of the young bulls, as well as being the cause of mortalities.Calf pneumonia had been discussed at the December (2012) monitor farm meeting. Farm vet Charles Marwood of the Clyde Vet Group had told the group: The maintenance of a supply of fresh air lessens the risk of pneumonia. Air quality is important and good ventilation helps to prevent the build up of humidity caused by vapour from the stock, dung, bedding and water spillage.By igniting smoke bombs amongst the housed cattle, Mr Marwood had illustrated the air movement within the buildings, while explaining the ideal situation is for the smoke to disperse through the buildings roof within two minutes.After observing the behaviour of the smoke, the group had promptly suggested that Mr Baillie should remove the roof ridging from the main finishing building.A few days later the roof ridging was off.At the recent meeting, Mr Baillie updated the group. Within minutes of the roof ridge being opened up, I walked into the shed and straight away the air quality had noticeably improved - an almost unbelievable, instantly better atmosphere, at virtually no cost!Also, after heeding comments from the group at the December meeting, Mr Baillie had put Secure Cover Windbreak curtains along what was an open-sided building, where young calves were housed. At the December meeting the group, supported by vet Charles Marwood, had felt that the open, south facing side, had left the calves too vulnerable to chilling, winter winds.I considered Yorkshire boarding which would have cost around £1,200 plus several days work to put up, explained Mr Baillie. But decided on the curtains, which were a couple of hundred pounds cheaper and only took a few hours to erect. Also each curtain covers one bay, and can individually be rolled up, fully or partially, as the weather changes.At the December meeting the youngest calves had been in the then open-sided building. As a temporary measure, the recent new intake groups have gone into the warmer, main building, with batches of older calves currently being penned in the building with the windbreak curtains. Both groups are clearly thriving and content, said Mr Baillie.Since making these simple changes to the buildings, the health of the young bulls is noticeably better, and theres been no pneumonia in the most recent intake of dairy calves, a welcome improvement on previous batches.Mr Baillie electronically tags his bulls and monitors individual liveweight gain with fortnightly weighings.It will be interesting to compare the performance, right through to slaughter, of previous batches of bulls, against the batches which have arrived since the changes were made to the buildings, remarked Mr Baillie.
The results of Dow Jones prereport survey of analysts appear at right. There were ten respondents to this months survey.
After just one month of higher year-on-year numbers, placements (which were 2 per cent larger than last year in January) are expected to again fall significantly short of year-ago levels. The sell-off in Live Cattle futures certainly cooled interest in placing cattle in February and has continued that pattern so far in March. Add in the prospect of very tight grain supplies and the potential for explosive prices and one can see quickly why placements would fall. PLUS the feeder cattle supply is still tight. With little margin available, feeders have had to be pretty disciplined and analysts expect that to show up in lower placements numbers in Fridays report.Steer and heifer slaughter during February 2013, according to daily slaughter estimates from USDA, numbered 1.799 million head, 91.5 per cent of the level of one year ago a pretty comparable number to the 92.7 per cent average estimate for February marketings. The years February did have one less weekday than did last years leap month and adjusting for that difference would put this years slaughter at 95.9 per cent of last year. We believe that survey respondents simply compare this year to last, however, since that is how the question is posed. USDA does not adjust numbers for slaughter or business day differentials.If the 93.5 per cent average of the estimates for March 1 feedlot inventories is accurate, it would put inventories at 10.918 million head, 759,000 FEWER than one year ago. That is the largest year-on-year decline recorded in this most recent reduction cycle. Inventories were 738,000 lower on February 1 and have been at least 635,000 smaller than one year earlier since November.The carnage in the protein markets continues this week with both Live Cattle and Lean Hogs futures losing another $2 to $3/cwt since last Thursday. Cash hog markets have dipped below $80/cwt. and cattle are treading water almost equal to last years prices with last weeks 5-market average being $126.66 versus $126.45 one year earlier.There is a bit of encouraging news from the beef packing sector, however, where margins have improved in recent weeks. Beef packer gross margins got back near the 5-year average of about $130/ head the week of March 9 and, if grading percentages and by-product values remained constant last week (which is assumed in the chart at right), will be above the 5-year average last week, the first time that has happened since September. Regardless of whether you like or deride the idea of trickle-down economics, the beef and pork businesses are perfect examples in that producer-level demand is derived from wholesale demand which is, ultimately, derived from consumerlevel demand. We think the challenges of late have been primarily at the wholesale level and the increase in cutout values and, consequently, packer margins will have a positive impact on cattle prices soon. But cattle price increases will not likely run ahead of cutout values.
Feedlot margins remain negative. Cash cattle prices averaged about the same in February as in January ($125). Concern over exports to Russia and China deterred placements. Cattle placed in February will be marketed from July through October.
Allendale anticipates a marketing total 7.5 per cent lower than February of 2012. This is made after a 4.8 per cent decrease due to a calendar adjustment, one less weekday in 2013 vs. 2012, for this month.
Total Cattle on Feed as of March 1 will be 7.1 per cent lower than last year. This is smaller than the February 1 survey which showed 6.2 per cent fewer cattle. Months of lower placements, and tightening feedlot numbers, are now translating into lower slaughter levels.
Allendale projects a 640 million lb. total pork stock level for the end of February. The five year average is 590 million lbs. for the end of February. Allendale's estimate represents an increase of 34 million lbs. from the previous month.The five year average month to month change for February is for a 30 million lb. decrease.
Beef stocks, at 489 million lbs., are above the five year average of 441. This month's number represents a 5 million lb. increase from the previous month. The five-year average change is for a 16 million lb. decrease.
The BPEX knowledge transfer team is working with pig recording analyst Sanne Baden and six different pig producers on the project, as part of the Breed +3 initiative to help each herd wean an extra three pigs per sow per year.
The 2TS Recording Project will run for the rest of 2013, with the first farm visits by Sanne now complete. The herds range in size from 250 to 750 sows and include both indoor and outdoor units.
Plans producers have made after their initial discussions include: 1) measuring the impact of different genetics through the system 2) reducing the number of non-productive days by scanning twice and using boars to check for heat and 3) recording causes of death in the farrowing house to help pinpoint associations with higher than normal pre-weaning mortality rates.
BPEX knowledge transfer manager, Charlotte West, says: Herd performance recording and spending time understanding trends and patterns in the data helps pinpoint which changes could make the biggest difference to pig performance and cutting costs. It also helps establish what information is most useful to observe on a weekly, monthly and quarterly basis. All businesses, including the top performers, can benefit.
Sanne will make three more quarterly visits to see how things are going and make further recommendations. All producers involved in the project will be discussing their progress at local Pig Club meetings.
From the outset, students were keen to speak to one another, particularly those working in similar fields.
The supremacy of face-to-face communication can be seen at events such as this where synergies are generated and deep connections made that would never arise via electronic channels.
The event was also an excellent opportunity for Program Managers to catch up with postgraduate students working in their program areas.
Following a welcome dinner, the first full day commenced with Poultry CRC CEO Professor Mingan Choct speaking about leadership. He showed how a leader should work to achieve effective collaboration and innovation.
Drawing from years of experience, he advised the audience that the best way forward in any given field is to seek out the best people residing in that field, globally.
He listed key points to remember when forming an effective team, and spoke of the importance of carefully managing multiple personalities.
Professor Choct believes that effective collaboration should lead to an enhancement of both parties capabilities and not an averaging out, which lowers the overall effectiveness and impact of the collaboration."
NFU President Peter Kendall said: As always, we will examine the details in the coming days to get a much clearer picture of how this budget will help farming become more profitable and productive. But some of the specific announcements are to be welcomed.
New employment allowance to cut national insurance bills by £2,000 for every firm will benefit around 40,000 farm businesses in England and Wales that employ farm workers.
The cancellation of the fuel duty rise in September will help businesses across the economy, including food and farming industries that have been struggling to absorb rising fuel costs.
Im pleased to see the Government doing all it can to help the beer industry and in abolishing the beer tax escalator, the Chancellors demonstrated the huge importance of the beer industry to our rural economy; every one job in brewing supports a further job in agriculture.
And measures that could create a more competitive business environment in the UK are a positive step. In particular, news that the Government is committing over £1.6bn during the next ten years to its Industrial Strategy.
"This includes £500m for sectors where the UK has a comparative global advantage, including agricultural technology, with the aim of meeting the challenge of harnessing agricultural science to achieve sustainable improvement of agriculture in the UK and overseas.
However, I am disappointed to have heard so little from the Chancellor that will give our farmers and growers the confidence they need to invest in their businesses. The UK agri-food has some tremendous opportunities ahead. Globally, demand for food is growing, stimulating further potential for exports beyond the EU.
"At home, there remains an opportunity to expand our share of domestic markets as we witness unprecedented levels of awareness of food provenance and origin in the wake of the horsemeat scandal.
"Last years Autumn Statement contained the welcome announcement on the Annual Investment Allowance, and this is already encouraging plant and machinery expenditure in agriculture. This budget failed to deliver equivalent measures for farm buildings and infrastructure. It is capital investment which is the real trigger for meeting the long term challenge of food security.
With the help of Defra, EU and Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) funding a model midge species has been identified which scientist say enables transmission studies, aiding further research into the Schmallenberg virus.
As part of the project, Dr Eva Veronesi demonstrated that a colony line of midges maintained at The Pirbright Institute can be successfully infected using a strain of Schmallenberg virus originally isolated in Germany.
The impacts of the study could improve understanding of SBV vectors work across Europe, according Dr Veronsei.
"Understanding how Schmallenberg virus replicates in our colony midges is hugely important in standardising techniques to identify vectors in Europe," said Dr Veronesi.
"Not only that, but it also allows us to examine rates of Schmallenberg virus replication at different temperatures, which impacts on speed of spread and also whether the virus can be passed from adult midges to their offspring. All these studies would be impossible to perform with midges collected from the field."
Dr Simon Carpenter, Head of Entomology at The Pirbright Institute emphasised the importance of the report and said that without this discovery scientists would depend on field populations for studies.
He stressed the problems of field populations as they depend on weather conditions.
Dr Jabbar was recently awarded the Dairy Australia Science and Innovation Award and was a finalist for the 2013 Science and Innovation Awards for Young People in Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry.
Currently, the parasite has affected herds in pockets across Australia. At this stage there are no rapid, accurate diagnostic tests available for livestock producers nor is there a vaccine.
Dr Jabbar said he was pleased to win and will use the $22,000 for his research into creating a rapid, cost-effective diagnostic tool for regular monitoring and surveillance of theileriosis, underpinning better control and prevention of the disease.
Preliminary research has shown that the bovine theileriosis parasite is in Victoria, Dr Jabbar said. This award will further support my research into the disease.
At the moment, the parasite has affected herds in pockets of the industry and this research will help manage the spread.Dairy Australias Program Manager Product Innovation, Dr Mani Iyer said Dairy Australia was pleased to be involved and help support innovative research.
Dairy Australia is committed to supporting innovative young people and encouraging them to work in the dairy industry, Dr Iyer said.
The Science and Innovation Awards for Young People in Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry provides recipients with grants of up to $22,000 each to undertake a project exploring an emerging scientific issue or innovation over a 12 month period.Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry, Senator Joe Ludwig, presented the awards at a gala dinner at the Outlook 2013 conference in Canberra for the agriculture sector. Minister Ludwig said the Awards have been encouraging young researchers and innovators in science, innovation and technology in rural industries since 2001.
With the objective of keeping Australias rural industries sustainable and profitable, the Awards turn ideas into a reality, at the same time showcasing the individual talents of our young scientists to the world, Minister Ludwig said.
It comes as research shows 60 per cent of meals consumed in the home are eaten in front of the TV but nearly half are not enjoyable.
Highly Desirable TV Dinners HDTV Dinners is highlighting six simple recipes using Red Tractor beef and lamb and encouraging people to switch to them rather than buying ready meals or takeaways.
Jane Ritchie-Smith, EBLEX head of consumer marketing, said: We know we should try to eat our evening meal at the table chatting to family and friends about our day but the reality is that, after a long day at work, many people just want to sit down and relax in front of the TV. Although theres nothing wrong with the odd TV dinner, its worrying that so many people arent enjoying the food theyre eating.
Thats why were launching a new campaign Highly Desirable TV Dinners to help transform mealtimes. With a few simple changes, you can turn a lacklustre meal into a fantastic dish for the family, making the food youre eating as exciting as your favourite TV programme.
The research commissioned for the campaign shows over a third of families regularly eat their meals together in front of the box without talking at all during meal times and the average person tucks into meals in front of their favourite programmes at least six times a week.
Actress and mum Angela Griffin, an ambassador for the HDTV Dinners campaign, said: As a working mum, time is always a key factor in the meals I make but I do want to make sure my kids are eating the right things, so its great to be showing people how to create delicious, healthy meals that really are easy to make whether youre at the table or in front of the TV.

Don Quijote - Synopsis
Don Quijote
Music by Ludwig Minkus
Prologue – Library
Don Quijote is sitting in his library, dreaming, while Sancho Pansa, his servant, takes care about the practical aspects of life. In a vision, Dulcinea appears to Don Quijote. He decides to dedicate his life to her.
Scene one - The market place of EI Toboso
In search of adventures to be overcome by a knight, Don Quijote and Sancho Panza reach El Toboso. The market place is full with lively activity. Here, they learn about Kitri's unhappy love to Basilio. They are not allowed to marry, because her father has already chosen the old rich Camacho as her fiancé. The crowd sympathizes with Kitri and Basilio. Don Quijote feels that it is duty to solve the problems in favour of the lovers. The appearance of his beloved Dulcinea gives him strength for the task.
Scene two - On the way
Don Quijote and Sancho Pansa are travelling around, when they meet Kitri and Basilio, who are fleeing from Camacho and Kitri's father. On seeing them Don Quijote starts to flight with them. By doing this, he works himself up into visions: the sails of a windmill become a giant – a desperate fight begins.
Scene three - The dream
Don Quijote is lying on the floor, wounded. He is dreaming of Dulcinea and her beautiful companions. Her world is of a floating, celestial character.
Scene four - in the tavern
Kitri and Basilio have returned to the tavern of the village. Her friends and the matador with his girlfriend Mercedes arc also there. Camacho and Manolo arrive and try to force Kitri to marry. The desperate Basilio pretends to stab himself to death in a very dramatic and the same time funny way. Already dying he begs the shocked father to allow him to marry Kitri. Finally he agrees- immediately Basilio jumps up again, very alive.
Scene five – The marriage
A joyful celebration.
