After the Volturi leave Forks, from confronting the Cullens about Renesmee they don't really trust the Cullens anymore. So Aro sends Alec and Jane to Forks to keep an eye on the area.
Emily is the other, unknown hybrid, daughter of Rosalie and Emmett. She is not the easiest to get along with, so when Alec and Jane show up, she isn't to happy. She stays away from them at all costs.
The Cullens leave for a night to go to the Denali coven, leaving Renesmee and Emily behind. Hoping that they can trust Alec enough to keep trouble away.
After Renesmee goes to bed, and Alec and Emily start talking, Emily see's something different in him. Something worth loving, something showing that there are reasons he is stuck with the Volturi.
Over the next few weeks, Emily notices that, without her control or permission she has started to love Alec. Her parent's hate it, and when they find out, they try to keep the two apart.
What will happen to Emily after all this?
Named after both her parents, Emily looks more like Rose, and has Rose's attitude. She has her dads sarcastic traits though.
She is eight years old, but looks like she is eighteen and acts it also.
She just graduated high school for the first time, and is planning on having a fun summer with best and only friend Melissa, that is until Alec and Jane shows up, ruining her summer plans.
She wants to keep far away from them at all costs, but when Alec starts showing interest in her, she thinks he is out to torture her, until she slowly starts falling for him also.
It's very confusing for her.

Emily nods. "I feel like falling asleep too, but that wouldn't be good." She says.
Emily nods some. "That would be good." She says, pulling into the gas station that was coming up so they could switch spots.
Emily than got out of the car, and got into the back seat next to Melissa.
Emily looked at him, yawning. "Thanks for switching spots." She says.
Emily nods, smiling. "Yea." She says, smiling tiredly.

Today was another slow day at the World Juniors before we have 8 games in 2 days to finish off the round robin portion.
Thoughts from Latvia-Sweden (5-1 Sweden):
Sweden's second line was clicking again, especially top 2013 draft prospect Elias Lindholm who was all over the ice. On Sweden's first goal, he made a ridiculous no look pass to Emil Molin (DAL) while the puck was up and in a scramble. Lindholm displayed good work ethic on top of his great hands and creativity. Molin did what he's been doing all tournament which was creating with the puck and showing good hockey sense. Sebastian Collberg (MTL) hasn't really been a player who the play has flowed through, but he does make some plays and did score on yet another great mid distance shot, his third in three games.
There may not be a more snake bitten player in this tournament than Filip Forsberg (WSH) who has had a horde of chances but hasn't been able to finish, although he got two assists today. He has 1 goal on 20 shots, roughly 8-10 of them I'd say were quality shots too and a few posts. He's at times tried to do too much but he's creating a lot of offense, it's just not going in which will even out over time.
The Swedish defense was better today with good performances from Emil Djuse (undrafted) and Tom Nilsson (TOR). Nilsson has been solid so far, showing good ability in his own end and landing some crushing hits. He'll occasionally try to get involved on offense but it's not his game.
Viktor Arvidsson is another small undrafted player like Filip Sandberg from Sweden I like. Both are highly skilled players who work hard at both ends and I think would be worth a draft selection this summer.
William Karlsson's (ANA) play lately has been average and while he likely will, he needs to pick it up more going forward as he's had too many significant stretches where he's not noticeable.
Teodors Blugers (PIT) was one of the few Latvian players who stood out. His goal was a nice mid distance snipe and he exhibited fine offensive instincts with the puck.
Thoughts from Germany-Russia (7-0 Russia):
Tobias Rieder (EDM) was a bit of a surprise addition to the German line up after a foot injury he suffered in OHL play. Even Canada's coach, who is Rieder's coach in the OHL seemed surprised Rieder was able to play. He simply hasn't been able to get anything going and one has to wonder if the injury is playing a part.
Russia's top line got rolling again with Daniil Zharkov (EDM) plugging in for the injured Sigarev and he alongside Alexander Khokhlachev (BOS) and Nail Yakupov (EDM) were able to generate offense. Yakupov looked like the usual Yakupov although I'm sure observers will be more satisfied if he performs at a high level again vs. Canada in two days.
Yaroslav Kosov (FLA) got a hat trick and for a player consistently penciled in on Russia's bottom 6 if not the 4th line is an interesting player. He shone at the last World Juniors and he's a gritty, quick player who has shown the ability to produce offense. I'm uncertain now as to whether he projects as a bottom six player or if he's got another level.
The top pairing for Russia of Nikita Nesterov (TBL) and Albert Yarullin (undrafted) has continued to be quality. Nesterov is a tough, mobile player who can be a decent puck mover. Yarullin is a player who I had in my Top 100 Draft Prospects two seasons ago, but didn't rank last season due to getting no notes on him during 2011-12. Here's my write up on Yarullin from 2011 who I then ranked 37th. This is from two years ago so it's not obviously a recent report and I would change my stance for example on his shot somewhat:
Albert Yarullin is a prospect who has flown under the radar in Russia's Junior league, and while he doesn't put up the counting numbers (his terrific Under-18's not withstanding), those who have followed him know about the possession assets he brings to the table. He's a decent skater who doesn't bring a pro-level top speed, but is somewhat agile and his all-around mobility is at an average level. His puck skills are average but his passing is solid-average, as Yarullin makes a good first pass and can distribute well on the power play, but you won't see him stretch the ice or try to squeeze a distribution between a tight lane. His shot is hard, but his technique is poor on his slapper as he takes a while to wind it up. His physical game is fringe, but could get to below-average as he is pretty gritty, works hard and makes forwards earn their territory if they go in the crease area. He's listed at around 6′0″, 200 lbs., but in regards to his muscle mass he looks pretty small out there. Yarullin thinks the game at an above-average level and rarely makes a mistake on the ice, relying on a conservative game, but his calm plays and smarts translate well as a power play quarterback. His defensive game is also notably advanced and the last few years he has played beyond his age group. If he's drafted, the team that takes him will have to wait for his body to develop and ideally the skating, but his smarts and to a degree his puck-moving skills are good enough to take him to the pro game and excel there.

Matt Moulson's hat trick Thursday night propelled the Islanders to a 4-1 win over the Thrashers…the loss leaves Atlanta with a record of 14-8-3 and sixth in the Eastern Conference.
Things started off fairly well for Atlanta as they jumped on top 1-0 thanks to Slava Kozlov's fifth goal of the season. It was set up nicely by a great move by Bryan Little on the left side, sliding by an Islander defender to feed Kozzy on the far post.
Todd White was awarded the secondary assist…so it's nice to see that line get something going after struggling for the most part this season.
Little almost got the Thrashers their second goal of the night a few minutes later, but his shot from close range clanked off the pipe.
But that's when they were given three servings of Moulson and it proved to be too much for them to handle…and it caused the fans in Thrasherville to feel a little sick to their stomachs.
"I love scoring. I love winning. It's huge, especially against Atlanta, who is playing real well," Moulson said after the game. "To hold them to one goal says a lot about our defense".
Moulson scored his three goals on five shots. Top draft pick John Tavares finished off the scoring with an empty-netter that crossed the lines moments before the final horn blew.
Ondrej Pavelec returned started in goal and took the loss…he's now 8-6-3 with a 2.86 GAA and .919 SV% for the season. In his last two games he's allowed a total of seven goals. In his past five games, he shut out the Detroit Red Wings, but allowed 14 goals the other four. However, he has a .921 SV% in those five games having faced a total of 184 shots…an average of 36.8 per game in that span.
The Thrashers will now embark on a four game road trip that'll take them to such places as sunny south Florida, cold and snowy Toronto, the Rocky Mountains and Calgary, then off to the Pacific Northwest to play the Vancouver Canucks.
The road has been good for this team so far…they are 8-2-1 away from Philips Arena.
They will return next Saturday to face the Montreal Canadiens before heading back out on the road for two more games…in New York against the Rangers and back to Florida.

Maybe Mr. Hainsey could fill the role of 7th defenseman. Perhaps the view from the press box could inspire him to cover his man or try to take it away from an opponent. What a lousy effort tonight.
December 4th, 2009
6:35 am
It seems to always be the same when the Thrahers lose….the defense lets the team down….it is not the goaltending….
These early Thursday home games are awful…no energy and no fans….and generally a loss….

4 game wining streak is over.Not let 3-4 games loosing streak begins .
Where are the fans in that building.Almost empty
December 4th, 2009
7:27 am
Maybe the team needs to stay on the road and away from the red jerseys.
Not much hop or punch last night. I didn't make the game in person, but the lack of fans and energy in the building seemed to effect the team.
We needed to good fight in the 2nd to jump start the team.
On the road again..I just can't wait to get on the road again…

Is Moulson's hat trick called a half six pack? A three pack? a good start to happy hour?
December 4th, 2009
8:02 am
Good morning Bill. Feel sort of like I did after Falcons went bellyup against Carolina Panthers. At least that monumental choke job was not at Georgia Dome! That said…The unavoidable critical issue here is the totally unacceptable going through motions ON HOME ICE! Few fans are able to travel with the team on road. Choke jobs against inferior teams ON HOME ICE will not have folks scrambling to get into Loseland. Such debacles have a completely opposite effect! Suppose the Falcons upset the Saints in Louisiana and Colts in Indiana. Would that justify losses to the Oakland Raiders and Washington Redskins at Georgia Dome? Not to a TRUE fan they would not! Apologist Thrasher fans fail to grasp the overall picture! Foes should dread playing in Atlanta. Most teams consider Philips Milk Of Magnesia Arena a home away from home! That must change on order to put INTELLIGENT hockey fans in seats. Apologists will be there regardless! Thrashers realize there is no accountability for heartless home debacles. Idiot apologists can be damn proud when Thrashers fail to make playoffs because of giveup home ice losses like this one to Islanders which result in zero points. DAMN ISLANDERS! Total bullshet. ++STENDEC++ Any idea on length of losing streak?
December 4th, 2009
8:04 am
"Moulson Golden" – awesome. I think this busts the much-touted "undefeated when scoring first" streak, too. Hated to see another loss to the Islanders. Also hate that I have one of those maroon jerseys – they seem to be snake-bit when wearing them.
December 4th, 2009
8:11 am
Sten, Sten…Man, you are just the absolute poster child for fair weather fan. Get some therapy. Seriously, you are clearly not working with a full deck. The team loses ONE game after 4 straight wins and it's "the sky is falling". You need an Intervention!
December 4th, 2009
8:13 am
Give the Islanders credit-they played a perfect road game. NY played a great game, finished their checks and skated like heck all night. We also hit a few posts; you have to accept the bad luck to go with your good luck. Seems like whenever the Thrashers lose, we have to find someone to blame on the team. Too many "Chicken Littles" around these days.
Game over, move on to our next opponent
JLH-sorry I missed you last night, I came over after the 1st period and there was nobody in your row in 121. Speaking of nobody, there is still way too many empty seats in the building. Someone recently suggested the Trhashers take the same route the Falcons did to get people in the building, cut prices for every game and make it known to the public. Let's get some fannies in the seats!
December 4th, 2009
8:14 am
I almost wish we had a death match between the Thrashers marketing and hockey folks. I am not superstitious but the team plays it's worst hockey in the Maroon jerseys. We lose 7 more games in them and that might be the difference in making the playoffs. Is it "The Curse of Blueland?"
December 4th, 2009

Can we get the paramedics to Philips Arena? I can't feel a pulse on the Thrashers. Can someone charge the paddles? 'Cause they sure rolled over and played dead last night.
I hope JA chews out Hainsey this morning, but it probably won't happen. JA seems like Mr Nice Guy. Takes it easy on the players. Moulson's 1st goal was all on Hainsey. I've never seen a defenseman at the NHL level back off a player and say "you want to shoot? OK, go ahead". That was the whoosiest play I've watched in the NHL.
At least no one whacked Ondrej with his stick. Hainsey wouldn't have had the guts and Schubert would have missed.
December 4th, 2009
8:44 am
Hey guys,
I know i am not posting very often (although always reading the blog) but this morning I can't resist. This team has the potential to do very well this season and we all know it. The game last night showed us what NOT to do to lose games we should actually be winning, especially at home.
On 2 of the 3 goals, we didn't finish with a check on the guy carrying the puck. Kovy didn't even make an attempt to check Moulson on the first goal, letting him get way to close and giving him way too much time to pick his corner. What are we doing here? Playing Pee-Wee hockey? Same on the third goal, Antropov and Max both leaving the NY Dman alone instead of checking him in the boards which resulted in a nice deflection by Mr Moulson… NY did not outplay us, we outplayed ourselves!
No offense to anyone, but too many europeans on a team is not good…They are afraid to shed a little blood and this makes a big difference when comes playoff time… You need some good canadian beef that will go to war and win you games when you think you're team has nothing left in the tank.

I prefer Molson Export ("Ex") or Molson Brabor to Molson Golden.
Open a bottle of Golden and it smells like a skunk entered the room.
December 4th, 2009
8:50 am
At least there were few witnesses for that stinker of a game. No way there were 11000 butts in seats.
Poor Moulson-a hat trick and not a single piece of headgear on the ice.
I would lay the defensive failures last night as much on a lack of backchecking/coverage by forwards as on the D corps-2 uncovered/unblocked shots from the blue line. Didja notice that everything we launched from that distance was blocked?
Islanders played to the textbook on defending against the Thrash-tight man-to man, smother 'em, don't give 'em room to breathe or move. JA needs to come up with an answer to that tactic or we're in for a lot more nights like the last one.
December 4th, 2009
8:59 am
Captains lead by example. Kovy was the worst player on the ice. Gave the least amount of effort and seemed not to care.. If I was DW I would trade Kovy while he still has value. He clearly is no]t worth the MEGA BUCKS he wants.
December 4th, 2009
9:05 am
I would not throw my hat for an opposing players hat trick.But there were plenty of Isle fans in the seats. Where were the Thrash fans??????
As JA said, the team sucked no matter what color jersey they were wearing.
WBF- yes!!!- I said the ASG should emulate Mr Blank and get people in the stands asap…We need the crowd noise and energy. It sucks screaming your balls off to make up for the no-shows….
December 4th, 2009
9:06 am
I wonder if Kovys' play is a result in the breakdown of negotiations????
December 4th, 2009
9:29 am
You know Biltong, I expected you to chime in on the discussion concerns Molson beers, ales and malts. One of the few benefits of living in Buffalo was the close access to REAL Canadian beers, not the watered-down moose pee they export.
It is always funny to watch someone, anyone try and drink 4 Molson Bradors, then walk a straight line!
Kovy was pissed at the effort last night. I'd like to be a fly on the rink wall at practice this morning!
December 4th, 2009
9:33 am
Moulson Golden- priceless! This may be the first time that I have ever agreed with Stendec, but last night's performance was horrendous. The Isles hustled. We stood around. The Isles hit. We fell back. To me, it was a total team collapse- no effort, no brains. How many odd man rushes does Hainsey have to give up before he uses his head, or Anderson uses his and sits him down. Thankfully, we now hit the road where we seem to rediscover the "grit" that is lacking on home ice.
December 4th, 2009
9:38 am
WBF – if you want to reminisce about skunky, crappy Molson beer products (and you're right, Brador's is pure deliciousness), check out my blog entry here: http://thrashingbirds.blogspot.com/2009/12/moulson-ices-thrashers-hopes-of-fifth.html
I try to take the loss with a bit of humor and it always helps to tip the cap to the other guy (especially Moulson) when they outplay you. But this team is going to drive us crazy with efforts like this — hell they already have just about every Thursday night — and when there is no dramatic comeback or rally then we're gonna have some frustrated fans. The potential is there to be good, but the D isn't quite staunch enough and perhaps we do have one or two too many soft Euros…hmmmm.
But then again, the softest of them all is Mr. White Charmin…somebody squeeze him hard and wake him out of his stupor please!
December 4th, 2009
9:46 am
Ahhhhhhhh!!!!!!!! We looked bad one game out of our last 5 and now we'll lose the rest of the year!!! AHHHHH!!!
Come on folks…we came in winning 4 straight. We had one bad game, and you'd think they just announced we're moving to Saskatoon. The team will pull themselves back together and all will be right. No worries.
Besides…It's Friday!!! Bring on the Cats tomorrow!!!!!!
December 4th, 2009
9:46 am
"Kovy was pissed at the effort last night"
WBF – are you saying Kovy was pissed with HIMSELF for a piss-poor effort last night?? He was no better than any of the less-good players on the ice last night like Schubert, Hainsey, White and Armstrong.
BTW, what the hell is wrong with Colby? Is his groin still ornery too? He doesn't seem to have the jump and "jam" that he normally does. We need his work in the corners to free up time and space for Pevs and Kane. Right now, it ain't happenin'.
Also, I think the Isles are one of the few teams who may have more overall team speed than us. That is the reason they are able to employ so effectively more "man-to-man" defense and make us pay for errors of judgment when we take a chance and then turnover the puck in a "danger" zone. Against teams like the Isles (CBJ's, Wild, Devils etc), you need to be willing to chip the puck behind the D and go get it. If you're not willing to pay the price and win battles, then you might as well not even show up at the rink.
December 4th, 2009
9:58 am
WBF – Sorry I missed you. I was up bidding on the xmas trees, to no avail, I might add.
I agree with you about the Islanders playing a great game. I don't remember an odd man rush that we had against them the whole night. They were generally all over the puck and in position defensively.
I think Anderson was also outcoached – I couldn't believe he continued to put Nik, Max and Kovy out there against Moulson's line (I know, he's not the center) in the third period, after their success for the 1st 2 periods. He even did it on face-offs in our own zone/end. Kovy deserved his -3, as he was at the top of his "OLE'" game all night, which was pretty disheartening to see from our Kaptain.
JEFF & OMNIFAN – I agree with you, it was the lack of backchecking, not our defensemen. On Moulson's 1st goal Hainsey had to back off, after Kovy's disappearing act, because NY had a forward pushing toward the net. I could see him swat the puck away after the goal, mumbling under his breath. He had to be frustrated with Kovy.
December 4th, 2009
9:59 am
Last night the place was dead, whether it was because of the team's lackadaisical play or the lack of fans who knows? The fans need more spirited play over a full 60 minutes. The team hasn't been able to consistently deliver on this premise for as long as I can remember. Ultimately sports is entertainment and the Thrashers have not been consistently entertaining. It won't matter whether the jerseys are striped or the games start at 7:30 if the product put out is lifeless for two thirds or more of the game. Our best player appears to be either hurting or tired and the team seems to mirror his play. Maybe an instigator would help light a fire on nights like yesterday.

Gee "matt" seems you have nothing to say unless you are complaining about another blogger, Grow Up !
POOR effort, NO Fans, I really think they see ALL those empty seats and think The Fans don't come, so why should we care… Sure looked that way last night.
The Glads have better attendence than Thrashers… Sad…

Could see the Moulsen Golden coming…Molson Golden is one of the worst beers in the world, causes a wicked hangover (almost as bad as a Genny Screamer hangover). Living in Upstate NY we would make treks into the Great White to pick up cases of Brador. THAT was good stuff, my goodness, 6.8%!!
Not to pick on any other blogger, but Matt IS correct…three things in life are certain – death, taxes, and a post from stendec after a loss. Where has he been during the 4 game win streak?

10 Reasons to ditch the red jerseys
1. 0-4-1 record. Hockey players are known to be superstitious; it is possible that these hideous fashion faux pas have gotten into the back of some players heads. At any level in sports, confidence is crucial.
2. They are ugly. The explanation I read was that they design team was trying to appeal to the football fans by implementing a football type design with numbers on the front and the illusion of short sleeves. EPIC FAIL. These jerseys recently made the top ten list of ugliest jerseys of the decade (yahoo's puck daddy blog).
3. When they play the Capitals, Senators, and Huricanes (scheduled for thursdays) it becomes difficult for novice fans to distinguish between the two teams. Hockey is the fastest game on earth. There is no reason to make it any more difficult to follow than necessary.
4. This is Blueland! Apparently the Atlanta Spirit marketing team was bent on proving themselves to be as boneheaded as the ownership group.
5. The old 3rd Jerseys (the ultimate warrior design if you will) were/are awesome. I still sport mine. The color scheme is similar to Florida, but the sweet T-bird logo makes up for that.
6. Kovalchuck hates them (E5). –I can neither confirm nor deny this report, but I can't imagine he likes them.
7. J-Bird thinks the red clashes with his white turtlenecks.
8. This is Blueland!
9. When other teams start calling our top line "the reds," the federal government might start getting suspicious.
10. This is Blueland!

The poor defensive play that we've seen manifest itself in being outshot so far this year, showed it's ugly head last night.
Over the long haul of the season, and especially as all the clubs turn it up a notch after the Olympic Break, our defense needs to tighten up exponentially, or we're going to see a lot more nights like last night.
The seats are empty for one reason, the fans have been turned off by 9 years of Waddell's mismanagement. People fall into habits, I heard it from many of my former season ticket holder neighbors in years past. They'd get sick of Waddell and a few would drop out after the 4th year, few more after the 5th, etc. I'd see them come back for a game or two in subsequent years and ask them "when are you going to come back". The answer I always got was "when they get rid of Waddell" and they'd also tell me that once they dropped the season tix, they didn't miss it as much (the driving down there night after night in that traffic). I am in that boat now, I got home from work about 6:30, played with the kids, ate some dinner, and turned the DVR on after the kids went to bed and watched the game for a while. Did not miss anything driving down there. We'll make a Sat. night game this month, but the club really has dug themselves quite a hole with the fans by retaining an incompetent GM year after year and sucking every year. It's going to take a long time for them to dig out of it and get the season ticket holder base built back up. They need an identity change to spark things.

hip czech–you worry about hangovers but you drink 6.8% beer. More power to you. For the record I have never had Brador.
December 4th, 2009
10:46 am
I don't know what it was, but the Molsen Golden and Genny Creamers not only were bad (though cheap, which was the main draw for a college student) but in particular those beers would produce very bad mornings, very bad…
The Brador was the closest thing back then to the micro brews now. It was a good beer (and had the higher alcohol content, which was also a good thing for a college kid), do they still make it?
Agree on the Kovalchuk effort last night, the first goal was all on him. Would JA have the guts to sit him after that poor defensive effort? I don't know if I agree about too many Europeans being bad, I see the point but Max and Antropov are OK defensively. Antropov is slow, that's his main draw back. But Max and Antropov at least put effort into the defensive end. Kovalchuk SEEMED to be better last year…the last few games he has reverted back to the Kovy model of 3 or 4 years ago.

First burn the RED Jerseys! Second how many times do we have to hear or read from the coaches and players how embarrassing or we weren't ready to fight tonight in an interview.
December 4th, 2009
11:02 am
hip czech – I certainly don't want it to seem like I'm throwing all Euros under the bus for lack of grit etc. However, there is something to the fact our beloved European players don't like to crash the net very much. While Antro gets in front of the goalie, he never looks like he's working particularly hard to get to loose pucks. Perhaps he's just so big and awkard that it's tough for him to extricate his long stick from congestion, but I'd like to see a few more power moves to the net like the one in the 3rd period.
Max Afinogenov is actually our hardest working Euro right now! Did I just type that? Actually, I've been impressed with his willingness to do some hitting in the corners and he back-checks pretty consistently. No one is asking Kovy to lower his shoulder all the time or dive in front of loose pucks, but he could actually back-check now and then to make it tougher on teams just inside the blueline. The centers are having to work too hard to make up for the wingers inconsistencies. In fact, they should just put together a training video using all of the footage of Bryan Little (save for his post-ringing wrister from the slot) playing hockey last night on how to play a very solid 2-way game.
Thinking back to the finish of the Panthers game, I liked the way Kane worked with Finny and Antro to get that chance to win the game. Obvs, Kovy was on the ice in the end-of-game situation and his presence demands attention from the D, but I'm growing weary of his extra long shifts that lead to breakdowns because he doesn't put forth the effort to stop the puck-handler. I bet half of White's minus 8 could be attributed to getting stuck out there with Kovy and Finny after Antro has left for a line change.
How about Kane – Antro – Max as the 2nd line with Kovy – White – Little rekindling some magic from the end of last year as the first? Then you still have Kozzy – Pevs – Army (our best overall line in the last 30 games last season) as the "3rd line" to exploit mis-matches.

The only guys we checked last night were our own players… I knew it was going to be a long night when Kovy, Max, Antro and Salmela kept running into each other.

The Nashville blogger and one of the Thrashers bloggers (sorry, forget which one) were speculating on the fact that Dudley and another person from the Thrashers have been scouting Pred games lately. They went on to discuss the possibility that the player Atlanta might move would be Little.
I don't know if we give up on him yet. He's young, cheap, and has shown that he has the ability to score goals in this league. Now, moving White might fly if Nashville would go for that.
I kind of like the Kovy-White-Little scenario. Little would have a lot on him defensively, for sure. But it might help Little offensively and might make White and Kovalchuk more responsible on the defensive end.
Definitely bring back the old 3rd jersey…

WBF, classic man. I took my ex-wife up home once, went to toronto & gave her some molsens, ahhahahahhahahhahahha. God that beer is GREAT. 3 beers and she was sloppy!!! I said welcome to Canada!!!
A few notes, Kovys line, I believe -8. They'll have some GREAT games, but the overall lack of responsability defensively will KILL us in some games. I don't hear anyone saying "sign Max" now today?? Yes, Hainsey didn't have a good game, but we MUST have better production on D from our top line. NO TWO WAYS ABOUT IT!!! -8 is unacceptable.
I think Kovys foot is still hurt, just my opinion and not making excuses, something isn't right.
On the Islanders, this is a team that I now believe is 11-10-2. They know that EVERY single night they'll have to bust their &sses, they know they don't have the talent to "cash it in". Jon Sim is a prime example of this. Until we (thrashers) decide to play like that every single night, we will drop games like this occasionally.
Also, Stendec, the sky isn't falling, take it easy. I'm guessing you've never picked up a hockey stick in your life?? The little ones they used to give out at the games do NOT count!!!!
Frogs 2, Sabres 6!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOVE IT…

Phillips will look fairly vacant most of the year on the weekday games because the people that came to those games in the past were season ticket holders(everyone else waits for weekend games) and since WADDELL has personally lost 75 percent of the season ticket holders over the last 3 years(really 10) those seat will not be full. If it wasn't for the season ticket holders phillip will have always look like this or close to it for every weekday game in the past also….there is no way to fix this problem this year. Keep winning and it will help some later in the season but not now. I go to the games and its very sad, but its also just a 2 block walk for me. AND get rid of those damn Red Jerseys in BLUELAND

Actually, I'm more for keeping the Red jerseys and getting rid of "Blueland".

Start the Season,
I'll second any motion to send Hainsey packing. The guy is just smelling up the joint lately. I'd rather see Schubert filling his second line role and have Ronsey sitting up in the rafters. Hell, bring Postma up and see what he's all about. Even through the four-game winning streak he was sucking. Sit him, coach.
I would love the red sweaters if they had incorporated the old Road Warrior crest. That would be sweet!

The Isles had great energy and the Thrash did not. I enjoyed watching the Isles though would have preferred their loss of course. At first, our individual effort was decent, team effort not so much. By five minutes into the 3rd, our guys couldn't even see the puck, let alone hit it. They acted like they all had the flu, with Finny and Enstrom possibly the exceptions.
On another note, great seats in 104, but you somehow feel like you're not supposed to cheer over there. It's like all the guys in sport coats might smack you over the head with a rolled-up program.

Hip Czech-Genny Cream Ale? Almost as bad as Utica Club Cream Ale! The price was right. Give me one case of Genny "Pounders" for the weekend!
I think the entire team came to "not play" last night. Toss in the Islanders' effort and you have a loss, home or away. I have played in games when you get the feeling the team just doesn't have it that night. Add to the problem of having 5-6 guys on this team that are not playing at an acceptable level. Hainsey, Army and few others. Colby needs to start hitting again. I still think Kovy's foot is hindering his play somewhat. Like I said, I'd like to hear what's said at today's practice.
Todd White is Todd White. He's never going to be better than he is today. He is not big and he doesn't fight. He's a 2nd, maybe 3rd line center.
I have chosen to ignore the bloggers who are always negative. I don't believe you have to be warm and fuzzy all the time, there are areas that still need to be addressed. Most bloggers that are negative all the time are just looking for attention.
J nes-nice list, especially the "reds" reference. I don't like the 3rd jerseys-I think we can do better on a 3rd jersey.
Bob-I understand that people don't like Don. Nobody is paying to see Don play-he's not on the ice. This is a pretty good hockey team most nights. There's a few players not pulling their weight and ultimately they need to be dealt with. I have been to alotta bad hockey games over the past 40 years, but still came back again because I love the sport. Darcy Regier doesn't even take calls on Buffalo sports on call in shows-people dislike him so much! But the house is full every night.

Spud-Back in the 80's, my wife and I used to do to the Molson Slow Pitch Classics in Niagara Falls, Ontario. The NHL players would play softball for charity. Players were so accessible, as was the Molson Export! Bring your Canadian money because they were not giving exchange on your USD!
What great times, met guys like Larry Playfair (one ugly dude), Lanny MacDonald, Bernie Nichols and Mickey Redmond, all great dudes. Gretzky was swarmed by all the kids, he signed autographs for hours.

Agree with others. Burn the maroon jerseys and go back to the old road jerseys. I know some hate the "Batman" logo jerseys, but it's always been my favorite. Remember the blue jerseys were originally a third jersey before they were adopted as the home jersey for the "Blueland" theme. And then promplty ditched the Batman logo jerseys for the burn in hell maroon jerseys. Marketing genius I'd say…

WBF – did I become one of your "negative" posters? I noticed you responded to everyone but me and I was curious about your Kovy comments (see above). Not that I'm attention starved, but I appreciate your perspective and insight. Just don't wanna be in the WBF "dog house"! Also thought you might have some choice comments about that special brand of piss-water beer: Molson Ice! Ewwwww!

I broke one of my cardinal rules of fantasy hockey last night…normally I start anyone playing the Thrashers, the thought being, well, if the Thrashers have to lose then at least my fantasy team benefits.
I had to sit one winger last night, it came down to either James van Riemsdyk or Matt Moulson. Bad, bad, choice. Not only do the Thrashers lose, but I have a hat trick sitting on my bench.
Molson Export was a decent beer…definitely better than Golden but it still is a green bottle skunky beer.

SPARTANBURG, S.C. — The Yale men's tennis team hung tough with USC Upstate in every match on Tuesday, taking every singles match to a deciding third set and pushing all three doubles contests to an 8-6 final tally. Unfortunately for the Bulldogs, it was the host Spartans would came up on the winning side of all but one of those matches en route to a 6-1 victory. Sophomore Joel Samaha won his singles match at the No. 6 slot for Yale.
At No. 1 singles, Marc Powers battled back from a 6-4 loss in set one against Edgar Rodriguez, staying alive with a 6-3 win in set two. Rodriguez would edge Powers in the tightly-contested third set, 7-6, to win the match for the Spartans.
John Huang had a similar fate at No. 2 singles, dropping a pair of tight 7-5, 7-5 frames after winning the first set, 6-3. Calvin Bennett and Connor Dawson also won the first set in their matches before ultimately falling to their opponents, while Daniel Hoffman staved off defeat at No. 4 singles with a rally in set two before falling to the Sparans' Jack Roux.
Samaha's win for Yale started with a 6-2 win in set one, before USC Upstate's Marcos Liconir took the second set, 6-3. Samaha fought back to win the deciding set by a convincing 6-1 margin.
The Bulldogs, now 9-5 in the spring season, will return to New Haven to kick off a three-match homestand with a 2 p.m. match against Boston College on March 21.

UNDATED (WSAU-Wheeler News) - A mild October has turned into a more normal November in Wisconsin -- at least for now.
Much of the Badger State is below freezing this morning. Ashland was the state's cold spot with 21-degrees at five o'clock. The eastern part of the state had light rain and drizzle yesterday, and it was cloudy and cool everywhere else. Still, the afternoon highs were generally 3-to-7 degrees above normal, in the 40's.
A slight warm-up is expected today, as southerly winds move in. Highs are expected near 50 every day through Tuesday. A dry day is predicted for today, but rain is possible tomorrow and Tuesday, with a chance of snow on Wednesday as another cooling wave moves in.

The perfect combination of style and comfort at work! These flared-leg scrub pants offer a drawstring waist and elastic back for maximum mobility and adjustable comfort. These scrub pants have two hip patch pockets plus two cargo-style pockets for plenty of storage space. There are on-trend seams at the knees. The fabric is a cotton/polyester soft poplin that is breathable yet very durable.
I love the material, its sooo soft and I think they would fit if they didn't run so large. I got an extra small and they fit like a small. I really wish they came in a smaller size and i didnt have to return them because I love the feel of these!!
I really like these, didn't think I would, just by pulling them out of the package. Soft & love the cut. The only thing I wish these pants had was a back pocket. Maybe in the near future? True to size and length is great, I am 5'9". Get the tall if you are this height. Can't wait to wear, comfy!
Comfortable pants, wear petite and they fit just right.

Premarital conceptions, postconception ("shotgun") marriages, and premarital first births: Education gradients in U.S. cohorts of white and black women born 1925-1959
|Date received:
|04 Apr 2012
|Date published:
|25 Jul 2012
|Word count:
|education, nonmarital fertility, premarital fertility, social class
Background: In the U.S. today, premarital first births occur disproportionately to women with low education and income. We lack studies of whether this education gradient was present in cohorts born earlier.
Objective: We examine education differences in the proportion of U.S. white and black women who: (a) experienced a premarital conception taken to term resulting in a first birth, and (b) had a premarital first birth by age 35. Among those experiencing a premarital conception, we examine the association between education and whether women married before the birth. We examine these patterns for birth cohorts born between 1925 and 1959.
Methods: We use the 1980, 1985, 1990, and 1995 June Fertility Supplements from the U.S. Current Population Survey to examine cohorts of women born between 1925 and 1959. The survey asked women the dates of their first marriage and their first birth, allowing us to determine premarital conceptions taken to term, and whether the resulting first births occurred within or outside of first marriage. We present descriptive information on the proportion of black and white women in each cohort who experienced the events of interest by age 35.
Results: For all cohorts, women with low education were generally more likely than their more educated counterparts to experience premarital conceptions and premarital first births. For blacks, but not whites, who experienced a premarital conception that was taken to term, those with more education were more likely to marry before the birth.
Conclusions: In the U.S., the concentration of premarital conceptions and premarital first births among less educated women was present for cohorts extending back to those born in 1925.

In the 1930s, John Dillinger was Public Enemy No. 1 — the elusive bank robber who captured the public's and the FBI's attention. Seventy-five years after his dramatic death in a shootout outside Chicago's Biograph Theater, FBI historian John Fox tells the Newseum's Patty Rhule why Dillinger remains a compelling figure.
The Newseum's Sonya Gavankar shows some of the FBI's crime-fighting techniques and technology during an action-packed Family Day.
FBI agents found a spartan dwelling when they arrived at Theodore Kaczynski's cabin in the woods near Lincoln, Mont., in April 1996. But inside were numerous clues to his life as the Unabomber.
For nearly 50 years, J. Edgar Hoover was the powerful ruler of the FBI, turning it into one of the world's finest and most recognizable crime-fighting forces. But power had its limits, as Hoover's iron-fisted leadership led to FBI abuses.

- loudplaylandDined on 9/26/2014I've been to chop previously and never have I felt like I was at a glorified mcdonalds. The food and our server were very good. The ambiance and noise level were unbelievable. There is no dress standard or edicate in the restaurant. I figure that if someone is paying $400+ for an evening they should atleast enjoy it in every aspect.

Left without regrets. if i were to complain, i'd say it's a little dark inside, but that's probably because my eyesight isn't great. As i say that, i also thought the darkness made it cozy.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Alcohol in most dishesshakerDined on 9/19/2014I went to the chop to celebrate my mother's 60th birthday with the family. It was all of our first time there. We often go to the keg and decided on giving chop a try. The main issue is that almost all the items have some form of alcohol in them instead of the steak option. We do not drink alcohol or eat anything with alcohol in it. Steak was orders medium bit showed up medium well. All of our meals had some form of mistakes made in them. Instead of the steak bites which were really good. The general manager went above and beyond to accommodate us and in the end compensated the meal. All in all if you do not drink alcohol and want to have anything else other than steak you're extremely limited.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/19/2014Limited menu, noisy atmosphere, food was just Ok and for the price could have had a better dinner elsewhere
- Excellent dinner!meatloverDined on 9/18/2014Probably the best filet I've ever had, perfectly rare, side of delicious infused mashed potatoes and green been and yellow beets.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- birthday dinnerOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/13/2014We had a great time! The staff was awesome. My husband had a rib eye that was grisly and fatty though....For the price it was disappointing.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- The Most AccommodatingHappyEaterDined on 9/12/2014Chop Winnipeg never disappoints. I have food sensitivities, and they always make a happy effort to accommodate them. Chop, unlike many of its competitors, makes me feel comfortable and confident in their food, so that I can enjoy my meal and soak in the ambiance.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- awesome experienceChrisDined on 9/7/2014Great food, succulent steaks, amazing wine selection. Staff is professional and works hard to make you feel like royalty. Definitely my future hotspot when I visit WinnipegSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

The food was great and our server was excellent very friendly and we didn't have to wait on anything he was there when needed . Great experience , we will for sure go back likely with friends And familySpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Family Get TogetherOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/30/2014We enjoyed our dining experience very much. We called the restaurant 2 hrs prior to our reservation to add 2 more guests to our table and the guy that answered spoke so fast. When we arrived they said no msg was relayed to change it to 8 people. A large table would've been better for 8 people rather than squished into a booth, but we made out ok Our daughter is severe celiac and the gluten free menu is not very accommodating, mostly salads, need more options. It is pretty dark in there so a couple at our table had to use the flashlight from their cell phones to see the menu, again not a big issue.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Mixed feelingsOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/29/2014Our server was great. I loved the boothes as it made dining private. Unfortunately I thought the food was only OK. The lobster rolls had a much too thick crust. My husband, who order French onion soup regularly said it would not order it again here.The prime rib was tender and cooked as requested The rest of the entrée plate was unremarkable.Special Features:
- from the sticksOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/23/2014food and service were excellent, looking forward to going back.Special Features:
- RespectfulkdotfoodieDined on 8/22/2014My eight year old son and I enjoy a special "date night" once a year. It gives me a chance to spend some quality time making him the center of my attention while also teaching him a few things about respect. On Friday night the restaurant was busy, but they gave us all the same attention that a table full of adults would receive. We shared the lobster spring rolls as recommended by our server (they did not disappoint), a wedge salad (simple but still delicious - what was that green oil?!? Yum.) and a whole lobster (my son's favorite). It was a great meal, with attentive service. My son, felt very impressed with the experience. And though I strive to teach him respect the service staff at CHOP showed respect by example. Thank you.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Enjoyed the entire experience.B1982Dined on 8/22/2014Our server was friendly, knowledgeable and had a great sense of humour. He helped make the experience great for my family that had never had the Chop experience. It was my mom's Birthday, she had never been there before, we were all surprised when the waiter brought out not just a piece of dessert with Happy Birthday! on it but a card signed by the staff. It was a thoughtful gesture, and we would all go back again!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Dinner organizerOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 8/19/2014Our group of six was really impressed with the restaurant. Five out of six it was there first visit to Chop and was suprised with the menu. The food was great so was our waitres. Overal a great experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Chop your typical chain!!say509Dined on 7/27/2014My wife and I were in Winnipeg for a concert so thought we'd give Chop a try. We had the beef carpaccio and lobster dip for appies. They were alright nothing special by any means!! Then came our entry's I had the NY peppercorn steak and my wife had the beef short ribs! First of all my steak was fatty and thin something you'd find at a cheap breakfast place! The short ribs tasted like they were boiled in a beef broth not braised in red wine!! I've eaten at many restaurants and usually take things in stride but this was truly a disappointment!! Will not recommend or return.
- Great first timejoelchandranDined on 7/22/2014It was my first time at chop and i think it was a great restaurant with excellent food and very good service. The majority of the staff were attentive to our needs, constantly checking to see if we needed anything else and were generally pleasant. The food came out on time and cooked to perfection. No one in our group complained about the food at all; everything was delicious. The only complaint for the evening was that one of the hostesses or managers (it wasn't a server) was a bit short with one of the guests when she had asked for more wine. It was the 2nd time she requested a refill of her glass and i guess the server was a bit busy. Not sure if there are policies against others serving the table besides the servers or not.Special Features:
- Superb!2frombrandonDined on 7/20/2014Occasion was our 40th anniversary....we weren't disappointed in our choice of dining! The steaks we ordered were done to perfection and our server was attentive. All in all a superb dining experience. Will not hesitate to return or to recommend to friends.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Luv2eatDined on 7/14/2014The ambiance was good. The waitress was super nice. We were disappointed in the food, the lobster tail was mushy, the steak was a bit tough, and too cook for medium rare. The minestrone soup was great. I would order something else if I was to go back.Special Features:
- it's "OK"rolobaDined on 7/4/2014Food was good-large portion of great-tasting prime rib, and the potatoes w/ wasabi(?) were really interesting. Nothing particular about the decor, and location/view is not at all note-worthy.I would recommend this to a friend.

- AttentiveSaraDined on 6/28/2014Very attentive and friendly. We has reserved a table on line for two, but when we got there the restaurant did not have our reservation on their list! However it worked out this time as there were only two and There were available tables. Must be a glitch in the systemSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Fantastic!noricumDined on 6/20/2014I took my father for a father's day / birthday combo dinner. Dinner was excellent! We both had steak, and I went for the "chop experience"... the seafood chowder is definitely worth it! I love the mashed potatoes with a touch of wasabi.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Food!KwazyKDined on 6/19/2014This was our second time here and we weren't disappointed. Our waitress was awesome and the food, from appetizers to dessert was delicious!Special Features:
- would dine here again4atehereDined on 6/19/2014We enjoyed our evening and would dine here again. The meal portions were just right and each dish had its own delicate flavor. Menu choice was varied and had something in each categorybI would choose from. I had hoped to have fresh Manitoba Pickeral however it was not on the menu. Also we were a table of four and the server who brought the bread basket could have explained that the roll was cut in four to share. I thought there was only the one bun. A second in the basket would also have been good but she did promptly bring one when asked. Not a big deal and definitely would recommend this for anyone wanting a slightly upscale dinner at reasonable pricing.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Prime Rib DinnerOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 6/14/2014We had the prime rib dinner and over all it was a little bit disappointing. The meat was coarse and chewy, not very tender. The dinner did not include any Yorkshire pudding (it was not listed either) and the horse radish was served just on the plate, instead of a cup. I do not like the horse radish and the juice had leaked all over our plates and changed the flavor of the vegetables and meat too. The o'jus was already poured over the meat so, I could not dip the meat either. The service was fine and the staff nice. The Chop is a nice restaurant but not the top end restaurant I was expecting.Special Features:
- Special Requests Follow-throughJune10Dined on 6/10/2014While booking my reservation, I simply put a short note stating that my group was gathering for a meeting and would prefer a quiet corner of the restaurant to accomodate our discussions. Wow! I think we were the only table in our section. In fact, one of the meeting attendants made a comment on the way out that they felt like a celebrity, assuming they shut down an entire section just for us. Service was unbeatable! The waitress tended to us, without interrupting our conversations. Would definitely recommend for professional outtings!Special Features:
- ExperienceHmmmDined on 6/9/2014We had a good experience but some of our food was cold and we hated the brocollini and squash on our dish. Chop needs to have either more seasonal dishes or a new menu, it has been the same for years!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- AnniversaryOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 6/8/2014Had a great evening celebrating our anniversary! The staff and service is wonderful, food is delicious and they even gave us free champagne to toast our celebration and a free dessert as my steak did not come out the first time cooked to order..would definitely go back again!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- First Bad experience1959Dined on 5/31/2014Four of us dined together. Two meals were great, 2 ribeye steaks were not very good. A service person then spilled a tomato based sauce on me. It took forever for a damp towel to be procured and despite being splashed with a fair amount of this there was no adjustment to the nearly $300.00 bill. The waiter gave great service and tried to make-up for the accident and was tipped appropriatelySpecial Features:

Effects of Silica Ceramic Particle Sizes on the Properties of Recycled Polyethylene Composites
Particulate filled polymeric composites are becoming attractive because of their wide applications and lower production cost. To evaluate the possibility of using waste silica based ceramic materials as reinforcing filler in recycled polyethylene (PE) composite, the effect of ceramic (PC) particle sizes on the mechanical, wear and thermal behaviours of polyethylene (PE) composites were investigated at (2wt% filler) and grain sizes (40µm-150µm). The wear behaviour was characterized using analysis of variance (ANOVA) and linear regression to determine the main and interactive effects of the process parameters such as speed, load and time on the wear behaviour of the fabricated PE-PC composites. Test results show that the decreasing the ceramic particles 150µm-40µm improved the mechanical, wear and thermal properties of the recycled polyethylene (PE) composites. Factorial design of the experiment can be successfully employed to describe the wear behavior of the samples and developed linear equation for predicting wear rate with in selected experimental conditions.

Shakira's son Milan is not even two, and he can read. Not that he had much competition, but this easily makes him the most intelligent celebrity child under five.
Shakira's family photos look they could be ads for anything rustic and beautiful. Barns, jeans, plaid. Non-autotuned Taylor Swift songs. Soccer. Casual baby haircuts. Basically anything. Shakira's family could sell anything.
Shakira's baby Milan may not be the best-dressed baby in the world (Really? A boring white onesie? Really?) but he does have perfectly arched eyebrows, so that's something.
So far all we know about Shakira's baby Milan is that he likes soccer, makes an understated duckface, and has cankles.
Okay, this is confusing. Shakira's boyfriend/babyfather is a European football player for Barcelona. Barcelona has a rivalry with Milan, a team they beat spectacularly (or whatever spectacularly means when you're talking about soccer) yesterday. Their baby, pictured here in his tiny jersey before the game, is named Milan, which makes rooting against your rival suddenly really awkward.
They should've just gone ahead and named him Barcelona.
Not exactly shocking news: Shakira's baby is cute. Actually, right now, he's pretty Nondescript Cute Baby, so call me when he has Shakira's crazy-curly hair.
Shakira gave birth today in Spain, to a son named Milan Piqué Mebarak. Fun fact: Shakira and Gerard have the same birthday (February 2), and I bet they are really irritated that their baby wouldn't wait eleven more days. I would be.
Eh, I bet he is pretty cute, though.
P.S. My birthday is in 86 days.
This is nice — in lieu of registering for baby gifts, Shakira and her boyfriend Gerard Piqué are requesting donations to UNICEF on behalf of their to-be-born son.
"To celebrate the arrival of our first child, we hope that, in his name, other less privileged children in the world can have their basic needs covered through gifts and donations."
Donations will cover mosquito nets, food, and other relief efforts for children around the world. (Hopefully poor Penelope Disick is on the list.)
Of course, Shakira also included a picture of herself and Gerard semi-undressed, because why not?
For whatever reason, people love Shakira, and for whatever reason, Shakira is pregnant. She has been keeping up with her performance schedule, and seems to have become one of those pregnant women who uses first person plural to refer to herself and her fetus. After a recent show, she tweeted, "I felt awesome on stage! We really enjoyed tonight!" along with a photo of just herself.
Oh, no, Shakira. Don't do that.

MINEOLA, N.Y. (AP) - A New Yorker who initially battled her parents for the right to be taken off life support has died.
According to her mother, Sungeun Grace Lee died Sunday. She was 28.
Jin Ah Lee says a service for her daughter will be held Thursday, followed by a Friday burial.
The service will be at a church in Queens where Lee's father is a pastor.
The financial analyst was found to have a tumor on her brain stem in 2011.
She was hospitalized last fall after suffering a seizure. She later asked to be taken off the ventilator, but her devoutly Christian parents opposed that.
A judge sided with Lee, but she later changed her mind. She died at her parents' home.

What does the average citizen need maths for?
I had a conventional education. In school and later at other educational institutions I was always just mediocre - but I became excellent at this - and as the years went buy I asked myself why the educational systems around the world seem to be promoting the same subjects.
Closing Statement from Michael Froemmcke
I can understand that people, especially those who spent long years learning maths, are very passionate about the subject. Yet I am still not convinced that the actual outcome justifies the effort and, in some cases, pain associated with this subject. There seems to be widespread reluctance to even contemplate any alternatives, which reinforces my suspicion that most people are indoctrinated in believing that there is no good education without maths. I think the understanding of certain principles is far more important than an intricate knowledge of mathematics.... But this is just my opinion. Thanks to all the participants in this minor debate.
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
Gordon Barker 10+Jan 23 2013: As Ken Robinson says, the ultimate goal of math in schools is to teach students calculus.
In reality, just a few percent of us need to know calculus, but everybody needs to know statistics.
Without an understanding of statistics and basic math you can be decieved about everything from how much you are being ripped off by interest rates on your mortgage to organizations that are lying about the significance of a change in the occurrance of something to suit their own agenda.
In this world, without basic math and particularly statistics you are the mercy of every con artist and shyster with something to sell
Jan 23 2013: I once checked the interest I as charged on my mortgage. I had been overcharged. What a surprise! Not by much but... So I went to the bank and after talking to the manager who was keen to get to the bottom of the mathematical nuances and after a few calls and conversations with the service in charge of working out the amount. None of us was wiser. I had wasted an hour of unpaid time. From the point I realised how inadequate my education was. I had only given me the mean to work out by how much I was being ripped off.
Jan 24 2013: I think you've touched on a good point Gordon. I'm not sure, but I suspect the whole imperial measuring system, as opposed to the logical metric one, was designed to confuse and cheat the lower classes, who probably never benifitted from many years of formal maths education.
A modern example would be trying to compare deals between different telco/ electricity providers. Nearly impossible, and I have university level maths education.
The other benificial aspect is the way it teaches you to think. It is teaching you how to compare numerically. How could I work out whether the S2.50 jar of 500g pasta sauce is better value than the S3 750g jar.
I use maths everyday.

Look!: Binder Clips Used for Hanging Art
Framing can be so expensive, and sometimes we just want to go for a more casual look when adorning the walls. So we came up with a quick and cheap solution for a poster in our foyer - an oversized binder clip, spray painted our favorite color of pink, hung on a single nail.
Simple but very effective, it's also naturally earthquake safe because it's so lightweight.
17 Comments
did you have to stick any weights on the back of the poster to keep it from curling up?
t-dawg -
no weights, the poster straightened out on it's own from hanging. The bottom curls up the slightest amount (which you can see if you look closely at the second photo) but not enough to be a problem.
I love this idea. Its whimsical and simple.
I have also seen it done with the nail up high, and the clip hanging from a piece of string or rope.
i've see this and thought about it, but won't the binder clip wreck the poster by pinching it too hard?
Love the idea! Thought might not work in rooms where you have fan or a draft
How funny - I'm dogsitting this weekend in an amazing West Village apartment, and that poster is hanging in the bedroom! I love it.
This is exactly what we need to do with our oddly sized Bob Dylan concert poster. Awesome idea.
Hipster bedroom? Is that a technical term?
i agree with lisa in terms of the work being exposed to the elements, etc.
but i also appreciate the stark, modern, *cheap* elements of hanging work like this.
i would recommend, however, folding a small piece of acid-free paper in half (or quarters, for more protection), and placing that over the portion of the poster/print/photo that you clip to help prevent significant indentations, rust and slippage.
another fun thing, for large prints, are the large steel "alligator clips" that you can buy at the hardware store. we hung a series of prints in the gallery i worked for with these, and they were very well received...
I just hung a calendar in my kitchen this same way, two minutes before logging on... which I feel so much better about now I've seen this thread
saw this in a design book recently... something about Flea Market Style... and thought it was super cool. Going to try it out. :) Great for kids rooms for when they are constantly painting stuff you have to hang up. :)
I really like this idea. I saw the post on this site about organizing by using clipboards and have since set up this system in my bedroom. I plan to spray paint and stencil the clipboards as the brown doesn't really go with my decor. I currently have empty frames on my wall that I use as a sort of shelf/frame for postcards and fabric flowers. I have found that affixing art to the back of the frame with scotch tape works too. Probably not a technique you want to use for anything you hope to keep perfectly intact as it might rip but so far it has worked well for me.
I've been using this technique for awhile now - works well for pieces that are matted with plex, too. The only problem I've encountered is that my cat likes to lift one of the posters off its hook.
My cat does that, too. He thinks it's hilarious.
I love binder clips...I saw a post here a while ago about it and now use them everywhere.
i've been doing this for a while too. (validation! woo hoo! :) if you want to make sure the bottom edges don't curl up, just flatten your poster out using some heavy--and clean--books. after a few days underneath my OED, my posters are flat and ready to be hung with nary a curl in sight.
I did something similar with my pictures
