Hyundai Tucson Review
The 2014 Hyundai Tucson ranks 12 out of 22 Affordable Compact SUVs. This ranking is based on our analysis of published reviews and test drives of the Hyundai Tucson, as well as reliability and safety data.
The 2014 Hyundai Tucson is ranked:
- #12 in Affordable Compact SUVs
- #15 in Affordable SUVs with 2 Rows
- #22 in Affordable Crossover SUVs
Reviewers say the 2014 Hyundai Tucson's firm handling, powerful engine option and upgraded interior make it a viable competitor among compact SUVs.
The Tucson is powered a four-cylinder engine that doesn't leave a good impression on critics, who say it's underpowered. A more powerful four-cylinder engine is optional, which test drivers say delivers class-competitive power and good acceleration off the line. Still, they say both engines can be loud and unrefined under hard acceleration. Test drivers also note that the standard six-speed automatic transmission is responsive and shifts smoothly. Test drivers say the Tucson offers responsive handling and its compact size makes it easy to maneuver in tight spaces. Although its suspension is a bit firm, they say the Tucson rides comfortably over road imperfections. However, some critics say you can find sportier handling or a more comfortable ride in other compact SUVs. The base Hyundai Tucson gets an EPA-estimated 23/29 mpg city/highway. While that's about average for the class, there are several compact SUVs that earn better estimates.
The Hyundai Tucson received an interior refresh for 2014, and test drivers say the materials are generally of good quality and the cabin's layout is functional. They also note that the gauges are clear and that the climate control dials are large and accessible. Critics say the Tucson's back seat is small and that rear-seat passengers have limited visibility due to its sloped roof. However, test drivers say the front seats have plenty of room. Cargo space is also a bit small when compared to the class. The Hyundai Tucson comes equipped with a six-speaker stereo, Bluetooth, a USB port with an iPod cable and an auxiliary input. Optional features include a rearview camera, a panoramic sunroof, proximity key, push-button start, dual-zone automatic climate control, a touch-screen audio display, navigation and HD Radio.
- "Overall, the Tucson remains one of the most pleasant crossovers at this price. It's up to date in almost every respect, and its manageable size makes it an enticing alternative to larger rivals." -- AutoTrader
- "The Hyundai Tucson is a compact crossover that delivers stylish sheetmetal and composed handling. Limited cargo space and rear seat room mean that some buyers might be better served by a larger rival - or Hyundai's own Santa Fe Sport - but those simply searching for a dapper all-weather runabout will likely find it a solid choice." -- Left Lane News
- "The Hyundai Tucson compact crossover SUV for 2014 stacks up admirably when compared to such well-established names as the Honda CR-V, Toyota RAV4 and Ford Escape. To compete, Hyundai equips the Tucson with cutting-edge engine technology, stand-out styling and a long list of standard and available equipment. It does all this with an impressively competitive window sticker and an unrivaled 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty." -- Kelley Blue Book
- "Tucson offers a great blend of maneuverability, comfortable interior accommodations, and a plethora of standard features, making it a solid pick in this segment." -- Consumer Guide (2013)
Other SUVs to Consider
The Ford Escape offers more cargo space than the Tucson, as well as an optional hands-free power liftgate. Reviewers like the Escape's spacious, comfortable cabin, which they say has ample head- and legroom in both the front and rear seats.
The GMC Terrain comes loaded with standard features like a rearview camera, heated mirrors, Bluetooth and satellite radio. Reviewers say its upscale interior materials and quality construction make for an exceptionally quiet, luxurious ride.

Details: 2014 Hyundai Tucson
The 2014 Hyundai Tucson seats five and comes with a six-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive. A 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine is standard, while options include a more powerful 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine and all-wheel drive. The Tucson comes in three trims: GLS, SE and Limited. Changes for 2014 include standard Bluetooth, a new SE trim, a revised suspension and powertrain lineup and optional all-wheel drive on the base model. Aside from these additions, the Tucson is largely unchanged since it was last redesigned for model year 2010. As a result, this overview uses applicable research and reviews from the 2010 through the current model years.

and the feeling it brings.
While thinking of you,
my heart it grows wings.
And I lose what to say.
Thinking of you,

When I see you smile,

my heart if grows wings.
And these feelings they stay.
From sitting near you,

With hearing your voice,

Was this a gift?:
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
I bought this costume for my son for halloween, the shirt and pants fit perfectly, but the mask was too small for his head, and was not comfortable around his nose and mouth. Overall the costume is great, the fabric is not too itchy, it's soft.

Did You Come to Stare?4 Reviews
This morning at school I looked for you, thought maybe I could find your eyes and I'd know, but for some reason I feel like I'm looking in the wrong place.
She had not stayed to wait for me. When I read her note, I knew there was no going back, that this was now a reality. I was no longer cocooned in a blanket of hopeless aspirations. When I went home, it was passed four, and I felt like it was cheating to wait for her there, like I was intruding on her space, I still owned the keys to a building I had been evicted from.
My father had cooked dinner when I arrived home, and the smell of burnt bread wafted into my nose as opposed to the sharp bitter tang that normally assaulted me when I opened the door. He was there sitting on the couch, a Pepsi in his hand. He turned to look at me and his face was still sallow behind his black hair.
He had done this twice now. After I had passed out, I awoke in my bed and there was a bowl of soup next to me, still hot. The thought that maybe, my mother had come home, passed my mind, that she had mixed broth and vegetables and small bites of chicken into a pot and roasted it over low heat until it had become a consumable healing solution. But when I took a bite, the familiar taste of Campbell's rolled over my tongue, and somehow that had made it worse, that my father had taken the time to open a can, to put it in a bowl, and microwave it. The soup tasted like rubber after that.
"I made dinner" he said, and I looked at the table, two plates with two sandwiches, the tops of each had been burned and the blackness hastily scraped off the bread. This was him trying, this was him asking for forgiveness. I felt that bubble build in my throat, the one that makes your voice crack when you're about to cry. He was not forgiven.
"I'm not hungry" I said flatly and exited to my room.
That night I drew portraits, I drew four of them one after the other, feverish with effort, and even more so when I thought of what her dad had done, to make her want to leave so badly.
At school I searched the hallways for girls with bruises but with the cold weather everyone was covered up. I found a face with round green eyes underlined with a dark bruise under the left eye, and I thought wow shes pretty even with that bruise, and then I realized, he was a boy a grade below me. He always wore cool patches on his vests, but I never noticed his face. He turned away from me fast.
Dear F.I, I don't exactly know where I want to go on this train, but I know that where ever it is it'll be better if I'm with you. To me we've never met, though I'm sure we've passed at school, maybe I picked up your pencil for you in the sixth grade, maybe you were a friend of a friend, back when I still had friends. This morning at school Ilooked for you, thought maybe I could find your eyes and I'd know, but for some reason I feel like I'm looking in the wrong place. I saw someone I thought could be you, but it wasn't. There are four more sketches her, which might be cheating but I put the same amount of effort into them as I do each. I'm worried about you, about your dad. We have to go soon.
Dear Gerard, none of those are me, but I am in the same class as two of them, that'll be a big hint for you I guess. My dad, he doesn't do anything to me I don't deserve. When I was born, my mother died, and it's my fault that she and my dad couldn't be happy together. When he remarried my step mother, she left because she hated me. I don't remember either of them but I know my mother had wavy black hair that shined like oil. I have the same hair but it's no where near as beautiful, I have her eyes too, but not nearly as bright.He says I look like her and sometimes he'll call me by her name. My dad says that it's only fair I take her place. He thinks I want to take her place, he's sick in his mind I think, but because of that, there is no true place for me. I exist in her image or I don't exist at all.
I want to exist, I don't want this guilt sitting on my shoulders, or standing in between my legs. I'm sick of this place. You're the only one I can confide in. Soon would be better than never.
[*Omg two chapter two days in a row! I might make it three but I'm working on a waycest, I know what your thinking, Waycest, that's just crossing the line, just read it, If you like me as a writer, you'd be surprised. Anyway, thanks for reading Dollies, I love all of you. Pretty Please Rate and review!

LighterLife diet brand to refresh brand
Diet brand LighterLife is to introduce a new visual identity backed by a new year campaign that it claims will challenge the conventions of the weight loss industry.
The brand says its campaign will move away from the 'quick fixes' and 'big promises' that other industry leaders portray. Instead it pledges to be "refreshingly honest" about the weight loss journey its members make with "gentle humour".
A TV ad campaign, due to launch on Boxing Day (26 December) has been created by Brothers and Sisters. It will run until April.
The "daring" new look has been developed by So Creative and aims to communicate the positive messaging.
Sarah Kelly, CEO of LighterLife, says that by taking a behavioural change approach to weight loss its members will see better results.
She says: "Our consumer insights work showed that the general public were fed up of being told the same old mantra by weight loss companies that all you need to do is 'eat less, move more' and are screaming out for a new approach that looks at their mindset and relationship with food. With this evidence behind us, we feel confident that the new brand will be a big success and reap dividends for next year."
LighterLife has also worked with Carat on media planning and PHA Media on PR.
Readers' comments (2)
'Eat less, move more' mantra no longer works? That's funny, I thought the LighterLife diet was based on no meals and replacement, low calories milkshakes instead? I know a few people who tried LighterLife and piled the weight back on post-diet.
To Lauren. I suspect those people that piled the weight back on went back to doing what they did before rather than making behavioural change. I haven't gained weight in the last 2 years since reaching my weight loss goal. I encourage you to find out more - it's more than just 'milkshakes'. Have a read of the new marketing....

"You shouldn't encourage him." Faramir glanced up from his papers. The entertainment with Elboron had long since ended, with many sincere apologies issued to a very irate Idhren, and Faramir was alone now, in his study, staring blankly at the Lebennin report. He had read the same page several times over, never actually understanding it, but he had promised himself to finish at least one more report before he went to bed. Éowyn approached from the doorway. She was wearing her flowing night-dress, her hair already loosened from its various braids and ties, flowing like pale gold in the candlelight. Seeing her, he leaned back in his chair with a sigh. And he opened his arms, inviting her to join him in the seat. She laughed lightly – musically – before settling in his lap, threading her fingers through his hair. Faramir leaned forward, embraced her with both arms, pulled them both back into the chair. They lay so, lounging, for a few moments. "And you should not tease Idhren so," Éowyn eventually said, her breath gusting over his brow. "She has ever been a good nurse. And she is a wise woman, whatever you would think." Faramir nuzzled his wife's neck, inhaled deeply. He began to pepper light kisses against the pale skin. Éowyn pulled away. "Are you listening to me?" "Nay…" he admitted, locking eyes with her. She clucked her tongue in annoyance, leaned her cheek against his hair. She continued caressing his hair, pushing her hand through, and he hummed softly. Éowyn sighed. "It seems our son has inherited his father's romantic streak as well." Faramir continued to nip at her neck, her earlobe. "Mmm?" "Aye…" Éowyn continued, distracted. "I found a poem he had written the other day for one of the kitchen girls. It was for Mallen. She is near three years his senior!" "Mmm… she is also the enemy…" "What?" But Faramir was too preoccupied laying open-mouthed kisses on her collarbone and shoulder to answer. He brought a hand up, cupped her bosom, rolled his hips. And she laughed suddenly, breathlessly, cupping his face in her hands. "Husband, if you are so determined, we must find privacy." Faramir growled against her neck. "The house is asleep." "Aye, but I prefer the bed to the chair…" Swiftly, she disentangled herself – causing Faramir to moan in disappointment – and stood. She was flushed now, and smiling. "I shall wait for you in the bedroom."

Center 'honors' 9 gut-busting menu items
The Center for Science in the Public Interest identifies selections at 7 popular chains that provide 'Xtreme' levels of calories and fat.
What do you get if you order the pasta carbonara with chicken at The Cheesecake Factory, followed by the Chocolate Tower Truffle Cake?
Answer: 4,170 calories and 133 grams of saturated fat -- more than the recommended limit of saturated fat for six entire days. The recommended daily caloric intake for most folks is 2,000.
These two menu items are among the Center for Science in the Public Interest's nine winners of the 2010 Xtreme Eating Awards. Is there any wonder we're an obese nation? Can the federal requirement that restaurants post calorie counts take effect soon enough to save us from ourselves?
"I wouldn't accuse California Pizza Kitchen or P.F. Chang's of being a threat to national security, but with a quarter of young Americans too heavy to join the military, these and other chains ought to get the extremes off their menus," CSPI nutrition director Bonnie Liebman said in a news release. "At a minimum, they should disclose calories on menus now, even before federal regulations make it mandatory."
Among the other "dishonorees" on the list:
- Bob Evans' Cinnamon Cream Stacked & Stuffed Hotcakes: 1,380 calories and 34 grams of bad fat. "Bob stuffs his hotcakes with cinnamon chips made of sugar and fat; adds a layer of cream-cheese-flavored filling; and tops them with sugary 'cream' sauce, whipped topping, and powdered sugar," the organization says. And that's without syrup.
- California Pizza Kitchen's Pesto Cream Penne (without chicken or shrimp): 1,350 calories, 49 grams of saturated fat, and 1,920 milligrams of sodium. CSPI's Nutrition Action newsletter says, "Some of CPK's pastas reach 1,500 calories …."
- California Pizza Kitchen's Tostada Pizza, without chicken or steak: 1,440 calories, 27 grams of saturated fat and 2,630 mg of sodium.
- Chevys Fresh Mex's Crab & Shrimp Quesadilla: 1,790 calories, 63 grams of saturated fat plus 3,440 mg of salt.
- Outback's rack of lamb, serviced with garlic mashed potatoes and fresh vegetables: 1,820 calories, 80 grams of saturated fat, and 2,600 mg of sodium.
- P.F. Chang's Double Pan-Fried Noodles Combo: 1,820 calories and 7,690 milligrams of sodium. "That's 3 teaspoons of salt -- a five-day supply," the newsletter says.
- Five Guys' bacon cheeseburger (with no toppings): 920 calories and 30 grams of saturated fat. Compare that with a Big Mac (540 calories) or a Quarter Pounder (410 calories). A large fries at Five Guys is 1,460 calories, and 32-ounce Coke adds another 300. Refills there are free.
About those posted calorie counts: Panera Bread has started doing it at some of its stores, and Yum Brands, the owner of KFC, Taco Bell, Pizza Hut and A&W, says it will post calorie counts at company-owned restaurants by Jan. 1. The new federal rules will take effect sometime next year.

Trade-Ideas: Medtronic (MDT) Is Today's Pre-Market Leader Stock
- MDT has an average dollar-volume (as measured by average daily share volume multiplied by share price) of $276.8 million.
- MDT traded 35,834 shares today in the pre-market hours as of 9:21 AM.
- MDT is up 2.3% today from yesterday's close.
EXCLUSIVE OFFER: Get the inside scoop on opportunities in MDT with the Ticky from Trade-Ideas. See the FREE profile for MDT NOW at Trade-Ideas More details on MDT: Medtronic, Inc. manufactures and sells device-based medical therapies worldwide. The company operates in two segments, Cardiac and Vascular Group, and Restorative Therapies Group. Currently there are 6 analysts that rate Medtronic a buy, no analysts rate it a sell, and 12 rate it a hold. The average volume for Medtronic has been 4.9 million shares per day over the past 30 days. Medtronic has a market cap of $52.1 billion and is part of the health care sector and health services industry. The stock has a beta of 0.96 and a short float of 1.1% with 2.18 days to cover. STOCKS TO BUY: TheStreet Quant Ratings has identified a handful of stocks that can potentially TRIPLE in the next 12-months. Learn more. TheStreetRatings.com Analysis: TheStreet Quant Ratings rates Medtronic as a buy. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its revenue growth, solid stock price performance, growth in earnings per share, increase in net income and reasonable valuation levels. We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company shows weak operating cash flow. Highlights from the ratings report include:
- MDT's revenue growth has slightly outpaced the industry average of 1.1%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues slightly increased by 1.9%. This growth in revenue appears to have trickled down to the company's bottom line, improving the earnings per share.
- Investors have apparently begun to recognize positive factors similar to those we have mentioned in this report, including earnings growth. This has helped drive up the company's shares by a sharp 27.00% over the past year, a rise that has exceeded that of the S&P 500 Index. Regarding the stock's future course, although almost any stock can fall in a broad market decline, MDT should continue to move higher despite the fact that it has already enjoyed a very nice gain in the past year.
- MEDTRONIC INC has improved earnings per share by 12.0% in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. The company has demonstrated a pattern of positive earnings per share growth over the past two years. We feel that this trend should continue. During the past fiscal year, MEDTRONIC INC increased its bottom line by earning $3.38 versus $3.24 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings ($3.82 versus $3.38).
- The net income growth from the same quarter one year ago has exceeded that of the S&P 500 and greatly outperformed compared to the Health Care Equipment & Supplies industry average. The net income increased by 10.3% when compared to the same quarter one year prior, going from $864.00 million to $953.00 million.

NARRAGANSETT - On Monday evening, a full audience watched at Town Hall as the new Narragansett Town Council and School Committee members were sworn into their positions. After the swearing, the new council members sat down to conduct their first pieces of business, including listening to the public in open forum for the first time and approving the consent agenda.

NORTH KINGSTOWN–The way two local girls describe this year's production of "A Christmas Carol" at Trinity Rep sounds magical—and they should know—they are both in the cast.
Alison Hornung, 12, a seventh grader at Davisville Middle School and Mia Douglas, 10, a fifth grader at Fishing Cove Elementary live around the corner from each other in North Kingstown. Hornung's little sister and Douglas are in the same class.

PROVIDENCE – Today, let us give thanks for the Scialo Brothers Bakery, a place where heritage is embraced, the traditional way of doing things is as relevant as it was nearly a century ago and stalwart customers often say to the owners, "We remember your father."
This repository of crusty bread, cakes laden with chocolate, nuts, fruit and cream, tiramisu, sfogliatelle, Russian tea cakes, quantis; tarts and pies is a treasure trove. It is what diabetics like me imagine heaven must be like.

Catherine Cool Rumsey may be new to the State Senate but, less than two weeks after defeating incumbent Frank Maher in District 34, the soon-to-be first-time legislator is already saying all the right things when asked what her goals are for the upcoming term in the General Assembly.
"It's jobs, jobs, jobs," Rumsey said. "Bringing the economy back, that's the focus."
It's a message all six of North Kingstown and Exeter's state representatives can't stress enough.

NORTH KINGSTOWN—Monday's meeting of the North Kingstown Town Council saw the Rt 2-102 stakeholder group submitting a 101-page document detailing its visioning process research, findings and recommendations for moving forward with the Rt. 2-102 intersection project.
It's Thanksgiving and that means it's time to reflect on what we're all thankful for.
Also, it's time to eat. A lot.
In this week's Standard-Times, we take a look at one local woman with a rich history of making desserts and pastries on Federal Hill and chart the way her family business has changed over the years.
In addition, we bring you a local look at this year's 'A Christmas Carol' play through the eyes of a pair of North Kingstown children who will never forget what it's like to take part in the annual holiday classic.
NORTH KINGSTOWN–Meeting in a work session on Tuesday night, the North Kingstown School Committee unanimously approved funding of a feasibility study for transformation of multiple buildings as a precursor to what may become an in-district Alternative Learning Center.
Previously presented in October as an expenditure of approximately $18K by Superintendent Philip Auger, the funds will allow for an architectural design plan and lay the groundwork for future project approval.
NORTH KINGSTOWN– The State Board of Elections and local boards of canvassers had several new issues to deal with at the polls this election season, including implementation of the Rhode Island Voter ID law in its maiden voyage in a general election.
NORTH KINGSTOWN—Statistics, texts and video showed teens at North Kingstown High School last week the dangers of mixing texting with driving.
Attorney General Peter F. Kilmartin was joined by the Rhode Island Department of Transportation (RIDOT), state and local police, school and town officials and AT&T to bring kids the message "It can wait."
Over 700 teens gathered in the auditorium at the high school to view the AT&T presentation that started in the state this fall.
NORTH KINGSTOWN– Although much controversy has recently surrounded the Town of North Kingstown's National Flood Insurance Plan (NFIP) ranking, the No. 9 rating assigned by FEMA is a measure of the Town's participation in a nationally ranked program and not directly related to Hurricane Sandy and her untimely visit to the area.

First love
It's been more than a year since Justin Bieber gave his heart to singer Selena Gomez, much to the furor of his fans, who quickly shifted their anger from Kim Kardashian to the Disney darling. "It hurts, it really does," Gomez said last year of the haters. "I don't feel like I'm doing anything wrong." Clearly JB doesn't either, because he can't seem to keep his hands off the pretty brunette during their many Bachelor-worthy dream dates, which have included a $10,000 a night luxury suite in Hawaii and a private screening of Titanic at the Staples Center in L.A. While the teen's virginity (or lack thereof) has been debated almost as much as Britney Spears' was back in the day, all the "One Time" singer will say is that he doesn't think you should have sex with someone "unless you love them."

CULPEPER, Va. (AP) -- A woman convicted of taking money from a West Virginia racetrack and casino is asking a judge to postpone the seizure of her home in Virginia.
Fifty-year-old Anita Ambler of Reva is appealing her conviction in federal court in West Virginia. Her attorney, Stephen Herdon, says in a court filing that her house shouldn't be seized by the government until the appeals process is completed.
The Culpeper Star-Exponent (http://bit.ly/18BHbaZ ) reported the filing.
Ambler was convicted in April on charges of mail fraud, wire fraud and transacting criminal proceeds. Prosecutors say she took more than $1 million in horse racing funds from Mountaineer Race Track & Gaming Resort in Chester, W.Va., while working there.
She was sentenced in July to more than seven years in prison.

Well, WE got Peverley today, and all the Devils did was sign Brendan Shanahan.
Like I said last week – lowest rung UFAs and waiver wire cast offs. This is embarrassing.Boy… Bet #17 is thrilled that we got… What's his name off WAIVERS!!!!!!!!!
This is another LOSER move by The Career LOSER Dumb Don Waddell… I'd felt better is Spezza was the player claimed or traded for…
Loved Waddell's comments, 'He's a guy we like'… Boy that is scary, well Nashville did not like him and these waiver claims never do one DAMN thing to help the club… This circus is just sick to watch !
We just happened to be there to pick up their sloppy seconds.
My first thought after reading that the Thrashers had picked up Rich Peverley was…. who the hell is Rich Peverley? Oh, that's right, just another Waddellicacy from the bottom-of-the-barrel buffet.
The above is merely a sampling of some of the comments made last January when the Atlanta Thrashers snatched Rich Peverley off of the waiver wire. Needless to say, his arrival here did not come with a great deal of fanfare and excitement.
At the time, Nashville was trying to make room on their roster because a couple of players were coming off injuries and they were attempting to send Peverley down to the AHL. However, according to the story I've been told, coach John Anderson noticed that the 26-year old had been placed on waivers and insisted that Don Waddell claim him. In doing so, the Thrashers made the waiver wire steal of the year.
I have to be honest with ya…when I first heard of the Peverley pick-up, I had to scratch my head as well. In 27 games with the Preds, he had a very underwhelming 2 goals and 7 assists and the only real reason that I saw for the acquisition was to fill the roster spot being vacated by the departing Jason Williams.
Seriously, raise your hand if you leapt from your seats after learning that the Thrashers had just claimed him off of the wire.
Uh-huh, yeah…that's what I thought.
Of course, Thrashers fans were a very testy bunch that day. We had just watched as the Panthers built a snowman on Atlanta's defense, beating them 8-4 during a Saturday matinee game in south Florida to drop the Thrashers' record to 14-24-5…33 points after 43 games played. But ya know, it just didn't take the Peever very long to cause the residents of Thrasherville to separate their fannies from the seats in Philips Arena… jumping up and down, roaring their approval of this player who had gone completely unnoticed in his short NHL career.
In just his second game in a Thrashers uniform, he played a major role in one of Atlanta's most thrilling come-from-behind wins. Down 3-0 to the Toronto Maple Leafs after one period of play, Peverley and the then recently-named-captain Ilya Kovalchuk road a wave of energy provided by the Thrashers' lower lines and beat the Leafs 4-3 in overtime.
Peverley assisted on two goals, including Kovalchuk's game-tier with 4:52 remaining in the third. Pevs then finished off the comeback with the game-winner with but 69 seconds left before a shootout would have been required to decide matters.
The very next night, Peverley and his new teammates traveled up the road and preyed upon his former team, the Predators. In the 7-2 Thrashers victory, Peverley assisted on three goals to give him a total of five assists for the weekend…all in just the second and third games played for his new team. Add to that count the overtime goal, and fans started to pay the man some attention.
Where is arrival was met with much pessimism, his play quickly dispensed of such.
His ability to set up scores for his line mates earned him the nickname The Pevs Dispenser and the new top line formation of Kovy-Peverley-Armstrong was dubbed the AK-47 line… given the #47 worn on Peverley's jersey. As things progressed, he continued to be a main part in Atlanta's strong play and winning record from the time he joined the team to the end of the season.
Peverley wound up scoring 13 goals and 22 assists in 39 games and was a +16 as a Thrasher. Five of his goals were game winners.
As impressive as he was on the offensive side of the ice, he was equally strong on the other end where he played a very smart and responsible defensive game. This was something he brought with him from his days playing on Nashville's third line…where you played well on defense or, as he put it, you were gone. It was also a style of play not common in these parts…which is why it stood out to so many.
Now the question is…can he build on that success and perform to such a level during a full season? If he does, it'll make for quite a fine year.
If you take is numbers from last year with the Thrashers and project it over the course of 82 games, it equates to 27 goals and 46 assists. His +16 would…if simply projecting out for a full season's play…amount to a +34. To place that in proper prospective, those 73 points would have been good enough to tie Todd White for third-highest on last year's team.
That wouldn't be too bad, especially considering that the Thrashers organization will only be playing $487,500 for his services this season…quite the bargain, eh?
August 23rd, 2009
12:58 pm
A pleasant surprise to say the least. His time here show him to be a very heady player, with good vision and a knack for playing excellent defense.
I only question is – can he maintain that play for an entire year on line 1 or 2? If he can, it bodes well for the Thrasher's outside chances at a playoff spot.

Poor Pevs got picked up right before Casino Night. So there he was, the new guy, hadn't played in a single game. One of my girlfriend's went over to talk to him cause she felt bad that no one was at his table. Bet that won't be the case next year.

BT, it's funny to read all the posts from back then. Let's hope that the AK-47 line can have another ~pt/g year from the man in the middle.
You had also mentioned on your last blog something about moving Nashville to the SE division so I will reply here. You made the main point of why it will never happen and that is simply because of the time zones that Detroit and Columbus are in the EST but play west coast away games. If you did a 3/3 home/away then you would have to do that for every other team and who would Boston play or San Jose when they don't have someone in the other conference not too far away.
Finally, while you have visions of a perfectly regional division, Nashville is already in that and would only get worse if they had to move to the southeast -
Miles from Nashville to the following cities:
Atlanta 249
Raleigh 546
Tampa 706
Total miles 2,171
And that doesn't figure the 911 miles from Nashville to Miami. Now compare that to:
St. Louis 309
Columbus 379
Chicago 472
Detroit 533
Total Miles 1,693
While Atlanta is slightly closer than St. Louis, Raleigh (2nd closest team in SE) is further from Nashville than every other team in the Central division. Not only is it further on the whole for Nashville to move to the Southeast Division, we would have to listen to complaints from St. Louis fans every year saying "we have such a natural regional rivalry with Nashville and they are only 300 miles away from St. Louis. We have already developed a rivalry by playing in the same division as them for 10 years. Why did the NHL move them out of the perfectly regional Central division?"
August 23rd, 2009
2:45 pm
Love the quotes Rawhide… would have loved to see the neames associated with them.
I believe the most criticism I gave Pevs was that he'd perform for several games and then disappear like so many other pick-ups like Bellanger and McCarthy once the system settled in.
Glad I was even wrong about that.
August 23rd, 2009
2:45 pm
BT, just one more set of stats for your realignment thoughts –
Number of miles from Detroit to:
Toronto 232
Buffalo 255
Total Miles 487
Number of miles from Columbus to:
Pittsburgh 185
Buffalo 326
Total miles 511
The combined mileage of either of the two EST teams in the West is closer than Nashville to Raleigh (the 2nd closet team in the SE). So Nashville to the SE division isn't even the best realignment option without even considering the time zone factor.

I'm sure that other markets laugh at us that a waiver wire acquisition is our 1st line center, but heyyy … if Peverley dishes like Marc Savard used to, I'll be proud to trumpet that a waiver wire acquisition is our 1st line center. Although, Peverley's next contract, if he averages a point-a-game or better, will be a handsome one. When Marc Savard left Atlanta, as Kovy's pivot, he made $5 million-a-year with Boston. Is Peverley eligible for a PROACTIVE contract? If so, I'd want to sit down with his agent and get a feel for Rich's intentions after the 2010 season. If I were Peverley, I'd wait to see if Kovalchuk gets re-signed. After all, if I'm to be Kovalchuk's pivot … I want to be sure I can 'pad my stats' to really get PAID down the road. And I don't know that now, with an un-signed Kovalchuk.
Waddell says he doesn't negotiate contracts during the season. I sure hope he changes his mind about that, with Kovy and the Pevs dispenser, for the good of the team. Sometimes, revising a longstanding policy really is the smartest thing to do. Come January 1, Waddell may need to look at Armstrong, Lehtonen, and possibly some others who have 1-year deals in place, to economize a bit on their next contracts. If things truly work out with Kubina, that might be another 'during the season' contract to negotiate. I throw my hands up in the air, and just hope for the best. Like I usually do. What other options do we really have?
August 23rd, 2009

To hear HNIC pundits talk, they'd want to see Calgary, Vancouver, Edmonton, Toronto, Montreal, and Ottawa in the same division, and they want the division called, "The Canadian Division." They'd also accept the name "Divine Dominion of Holy Enshrinement." Shaking my head. Does that MAKE SENSE logistically or time zone-wise? Of course not. But the point is … people WANT what they want. Irrespective of whether it's actually doable or logical. I just got finished talkin to a yutz who wants an orange Audi and a black Benz. (Hey, he'd be set for Halloween!) He has a one-car garage!! And can't afford the payments he has now on a beatup Ford, which he seemingly thinks will qualify at some Herculean trade-in value. Has this fellow given any thought to car payments, ad valorem taxes, and what this will do to his insurance premiums? Dreaming is fun. I repeat, people WANT what they want. It's not illegal to WANT things. Or Fantasize about them. Or discuss them. For example, who thinks a 3-some is possible with Kate Beckinsale and Megan Fox? Good Lord, put those hands down. And yet, it'd probably spawn some hearty discussions about the topic!
I'm perfectly fine with Nashville in the Western Conference. That kinda, sorta feels right. But uhh, rubbin' my chin, if realignment ditched Ovehckin and the Capitals from the list of Thrashers division rivals, that might be a good thing! Psst. Hey Brendan! What? I only go to Philips Arena to see Ovechkin and the Capitals. Well, then nevermind. Sheesh.

By the way, I just checked with the good folks at Webster's Collegiate Dictionary. Turns out that a threesome is a golf term.
Check it out. http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/threesome
Think Beckinsale and Fox are into celebrity golf? Maybe it's more of a reality than you think?

"EOB – I agree with you that Nashville relocating to the SE isn't gonna happen…but to play devil's advocate with you, how many miles is it from DC to Miami? Vancouver to Minneapolis? Dallas to San Jose? Doesn't keep them from being in the same division."
BT, the problem with your attempt at playing Devil's advocate there is that your rationale for moving Nashville into the SE was that they are close to Atlanta, so if they are closer to the Central division that kills your reason for moving them into the SE.
Also, while there are a number of miles between San Jose and Dallas or Vancouver and Minneapolis/St. Paul, there are more miles in between San Jose and other teams or Vancouver and other teams so that doesn't make sense to use that as a reason. Who would you rather put with Vancouver or San Jose? Boston? You have 6 divisions with 5 teams each and the way they are set up now leaves very little room to make things closer between the teams.
As for the Tri-state area teams, yes there will never be true equity but making things worse for Nashville isn't going to make the Predators fans or players happy. In the end, your rationale for putting Nashville in the SE doesn't outweigh the advantages of having them in the Central nor does it make more sense than creating a Columbus-Pittsburgh rivalry if a team from the East goes out west.

We went to Nashville last year for Pevs 1st game back since being traded. 3 helpers against his former team, Bogosian's 1st NHL goal, and Nashville's nightlife afterward?? I'm not sure I could handle 3 road trips a year up there – good grief!

Atlanta/Nashville/Dallas/Tampa/Florida one idea.
Dallas is in the Pacific division with ALL division teams in a different time zone.
Bet they would LOVE to move.
Should there be 5 six team divisions ?
Atlanta/Nashville/Dallas/Florida/Tampa/Carolina. But you would lose East & West conferences.
Or, they could revert to Patrick division etc… and not have East/West but Conferences based on Geography, more than now.
But it would be nice to have Nashville in the SE for sure. St.Louis will always have Chicago, we Nashville.
August 23rd, 2009
7:33 pm
LAC, Dallas is in different time zones away at most for conference games, Detroit and Columbus have a number of games that are 3 time zones away which is the dealbreaker. That never happens with Dallas. It likes when the Thrashers go on those west coast trips once a year and the games don't start until 10:30pm at night. That happens all the time with Detroit & Columbus. And no one said it's perfect for Dallas but based on travel they actually prefer to be in the Pacific versus when they still had the North Stars old schedule.
As for 5 divisions, I can't see how you can have an odd number of divisions. Since you need to have things end in a championship with two teams, every league starts with 2 major groups and then lesser groups make up the major groups. So I can't see how you have 1 conference with 3 divisions and 1 with 2 divisions.
If you revert back to the Patrick division you still have the Wales & Campbell conferences. I'm sure you can come up with a Atlanta/Nashville/Dallas/Fla/Tampa/Car but unless you show what it would look for all 30 teams it doesn't do much to single out just 1 division. The question now becomes if you move Dallas who do you then replace them with in the Pacific?
If you can come up with a plan for all 30 teams it would be interesting to see but I doubt it would be much different than what we have today if it were evenly distributed.

Back to the Pevs thread – thank goodness JA wanted him and DW was willing to listen and take action. That was a great payoff for a relatively minor investment. I wonder who else is on JA's wish list…

Van, Cgy, Edm, LA and SJ
Ahm, Phx, Col, Dal, and Min
Det, Chi, StL, CBJ and Pit
Tor, Buf, Mtl, Ott and Bos
Wsh, Phi, NJ, NYR and NYI
Atl, Fla, TB, Car and Nsh
Here u go Rawhide, just take Wsh back to the Atlantic and move Pit to the Central. That way Pit can develop a rivalry similar to the one in the NFL with Cleveland. Pit is more Central than they are Atlantic. Pit can have fun with Det instead of Philly and we get Nsh 6 times a year!
Only real problem is Minny, are they central or mountain time zone. St Paul is pretty far west but I think they are central time. But its not much different than what they are already facing in terms of travel.
Also, if the NHL wants more Pit VS Det in the Finals, then fine. Just move those cellar-dwelling hosers from Toronto back to the Norris where they belong. There's enough mediocrity in that NE div as it is with 1 SC in 20 years between them!

Love the quotes Rawhide… would have loved to see the neames associated with them.
Hokie — I'll give you a hint…three of the first four lines should be rather obvious who the opine is from, because it's all the same person. I guessed Stroz (incorrectly) on the sloppy seconds post. Two of the other posters surprised me completely.
Good quotes though.
Here are a few more:
(By Kari's Glove Hand) — I love the waiver pickup, we need all the goals we can get.
The only thing that picking Peaverly (how many smallish 3rd line centers do we have now) tells me is that Don is still looking for gems at the fleamarket. I hope he got one this time,..not counting on it though.
Sorry Peverly…but welcome to the worst run team in profesional sports.
No offense to this kid, but what could he ever do to improve the MESS this team is ? Answer not much.
Does the phrase "Grasping at straws" come to mind?
Peverly is a typical Waddell Pick-up!!
Other than Kari's Glove Hand there wasn't a positive post regarding Peverley in that entire string.

EOB – So you know what the fans in Nashville probably think?
You might want to stick with what the fans in Buffalo probably think.
So once again, I'd like to hear from the Preds fans on the issue of having the Thrashers in the same division.
August 23rd, 2009
11:26 pm
Smoothie, moving Pittsburgh to the West so Nashville can come east just for Atlanta's fans? That'll never happen in a million years. Breaking up LA and Anaheim will never happen either, you can't promote Columbus-Pittsburgh and Nashville-Atlanta as regional rivalries while at the same time breaking up a crosstown rivalry. Sorry guys but it just doesn't make sense to send a team in the EST zone for all those trips out west just so Atlanta can play a few more local games. And Nashville doesn't gain a thing by this, they only get hurt by losing St. Louis (which negates gaining the series with Atlanta) and then losing the closer cities in Col, Det & Chi.
Oh yeah, the NE sent both the Sabres and Sens to the SC finals in the last 10 years.
August 23rd, 2009
11:32 pm
RS, what is the difference for Nashville fans by playing a regional game against Atlanta instead of a regional game against St. Louis? Yes, I would say that it is probably the same thing. If you can reasonably point out a reason that it is different other than all the extra miles they pick up by travelling to Tampa instead of Chicago than let me hear what logically makes sense.
Here's a question for you and all the other promoters of the Nashville-Atlanta series – who among you would want to switch positions straight up with Columbus? Why not call for Atlanta to go to the Western Conference and let Columbus come east? Then instead of playing games at 7:30 at Pittsburgh, Boston, Montreal, Ottawa we can play 10:30 games at San Jose, Vancouver, Los Angeles and Anaheim.
So who wants Atlanta to go to the Central Division in the Western Conference?

EOB, do u understand the concept of "tongue in cheek"? Most of my post was obviously slanted towards an Atlanta bias…and guess what? This is a blog covering the, well, I'm sure you know the rest as u seem to know everything else. Lighten up Francis!

Earl, I said Dallas plays in different time zones.
Phoenix – Mountain.
LA/Anaheim/SJ – Pacific
Plus there is more interest in Atlanta in Nashville than St.Louis, I would bet.
I remember living in Charoltte ( Checkers ) in the 60's and they has the Nashville Dixie Flyers, before the interstate, those mountain curves were great in a bus I bet… But this was The Eastern Hockey League.
Also Greensboro/Knoxville/Jacksonville/Roanoke/Philadelphia Rambelers/Jersey Devils/
Clinton Comets/Johnstown Jets/Syracuse Blazers/New Haven Blades… Bet those were some fun trips back then.
August 24th, 2009
8:08 am
EOB – You're still missing my point. I'm not promoting the idea.
I'd like to hear from the PREDS FANS on the issue of having the Thrashers in the same division. I would like to see INPUT from the NASHVILLE perspective.
If the NASHVILLE fans have no interest, then so be it.
That said, one of the best rivalries in Atlanta sports history is between the Atlanta Falcons and the New Orleans Saints. New Orleans is in the central time zone just like Nashville.

Back on the subject of the Peverley wire pick-up, I'm glad Waddell wasn't picking out colors for the locker room or sitting in a LEED certification meeting when Peverley hit the wires.
August 24th, 2009
9:26 am
Stroz, hopefully JA's influence in assessing talent and potential is as effective this Sept in training camp as it was last January when advising DWad to pluck Peverley off the top of the waiver pile. We need someone to step up big time to fill the hole on the left side of the 3rd line should Kane not be ready to play NHL hockey.
At least Donnie got us ready for Cap & Tax…we're headed for the future! And the future is low energy light bulbs! Let's just hope the energy on the ice at the Bulb isn't any lower than it was last October.

There is. But what happens in Nashville, stays in Nashville.
August 24th, 2009
10:05 am
Well I'll just leave it at this, for anyone who is hoping for Atlanta & Nashville to play more often or in the same division (which is what the original posts said), then move Atlanta into the Central Division and West Conference. Columbus would be more than happy to play in the East versus the West so it would a one for one switch which is simple to do. If no one wants that to happen, then you can't expect Atlanta & Nashville to play against each other 6 times a year if you don't want the Thrashers to move to the Central Division in the West Conference. Case closed.
August 24th, 2009
10:09 am
EOB – Sorry dude, but you're not the official case closer. We can all discuss this as long as we desire.
August 24th, 2009
10:20 am
R. Stroz, then please discuss. Do you want Atlanta to move to the Central Division in the Western Conference? That would allow us to play Nashville 6 times a year and Columbus would be more than willing to make a simple swap with us straight up if they can get into the Eastern Confernce. If you don't want the Thrashers to move to the Central Division in the Western Conference, then why not?
August 24th, 2009
10:47 am
I hate to tell you EOB, but it's not your way or the highway.
The New Orleans Saints are in the same division as the Falcons, when they could easily play in the same division as the Cowboys based on proximity.
Why couldn't the Washington Capitals be moved into another division and the Preds inserted?
The question is whether having the Preds inserted for the Caps would result in a net increase or decrease in ticket sales for the different combination of teams.
Along those lines, I seriously doubt the Preds would out draw the Caps at Philips Arena, as long as AO is playing for the Caps.
That said, many of us would still enjoy a Thrashers/Preds rivalry due to the close proximity of the two teams.
August 24th, 2009
10:49 am
Back on the Peverley subject, I wonder if Anderson is considering a Russian line of Kozlov, Antropod, and Kovy with a second line consisting of White, Little, and Peverley.
August 24th, 2009
11:03 am
Stroz, while it would be quite intriguing to see Kozzy play with Kovy at ES, do you feel comfortable enough with Antro at C? And who plays C on the 2nd line? Pevs or White?
Personally, I really think Pevs is too important to this team as a C. He is the fastest C we have and he seems to have a very good knack for getting back on D even when the other forwards get too deep in the offensive zone. I really like the potential of Peverley centering Kovy (matches his speed well and a pretty decent passer if not as good as Whitey in that regard) and Antro who should provide the big-body presence to attract attention away from Pevs and Kovy much like Army afforded Peverley more space to free-lance when playing 2nd line together.
No matter what it is a tough call because Army is no slouch either and his chemistry with Peverley cannot be denied. Also, with Little being one year older and more physically mature, he may be capable of scoring 35 + goals while Antro's career high is what, 28 or 29? Do you spread the wealth or do you load the front line with Kovy and Little?
Do you get really crazy and try to capitalize on a) existing chemistry and b) the presence of a talented rookie who has the potential to excel playing Top 6 minutes? Such as this:
Kovy — White — Antro
Kane — Peverley — Army
Kozzy — Reasoner — Crabb / Macho
Boultsy — Slates — Stewart
I don't know, the potential combos seem limitless at best and intriguing at least. Is it time for Kozzy to take on reduced mins on the 3rd line while still playing top PP mins with Kovy, Antro & White.
I really would love to see us sure up the third line depth with either Pyatt or Malhotra so we could more seriously entertain dropping Kozlov down to the 3rd line. But you need someone who has proven themselves as a 3rd line shut-down type of guy so Kozzy (or Kane) doesn't have to do too much of the heavy lifting.
August 24th, 2009
11:03 am
"Why couldn't the Washington Capitals be moved into another division and the Preds inserted?"
Well here's why you can't do this. Why in the world would you move the Capitals to the Western Conference? And what other team in the East would want to move to the Western Conference? If Atlanta is the team that is gaining a rivalry with the Preds, then shouldn't it be Atlanta that moves to the Western Conference? Why do you have to include other teams like Washington and screw with their rivalries (Caps-Canes anyone?) to satisfy Atlanta's fan base? That is completely unreasonable. Columbus on the other hand would be willing to come to the Eastern Conference and so the most logical plan that harms no teams would be to make a simple swap of Atlanta for Columbus. That way Atlanta gets their Preds rivalry for 6 games a year and the Blue Jackets get into the East Conference. If Atlanta isn't willing to make the sacrifice and move divisions/conferences than it is completely unreasonable to force other teams to move divisions/conferences and make the sacrifice for them. With that said do you still wish to discuss or can this be considered "case closed"?
August 24th, 2009
11:07 am
Kovy — White — Antro
Kane — Peverley — Army
Kozzy — Reasoner — Crabb / Macho
Boultsy — Slates — Stewart
Smoothie, did you miss your first cup of coffee or do you have a problem with Bryan Little as the 2nd line RW? Man, you don't even have him in the lineup let alone on the 2nd line.
August 24th, 2009
11:27 am
Dude, effin relax. I should have put him in as the third line RW in that scenario, but subconciously I left him out. Obviously I don't think of him as 3rd line guy, but you would know that if you actually took the time to read what I was writing instead of just jumping down someone's throat as soon as they make an oversight.
And speaking of oversights, Stroz never suggested Washington should go to the Western Conf, he said, and you should know since you quoted him, "another division". How's that for being sharp and cognizant on a Monday morning? Did that live up to your lofty expectations of blogging perfection and acute nit-picking?
August 24th, 2009
11:45 am
EOB – has it ever occurred to you that perhaps people around here would like an opinion *other* than yours? I mean, it's great and all that you so love to freely offer it up constantly, but we all tend to post here for the benefit of group input. If you're tired of talking about a topic, feel free to just …. stop …. talking. It's easier than ya might think.
August 24th, 2009
12:01 pm
Very well stated Ms. Sara. So what are your thoughts on the line combos at this point? Obviously a lot can happen during camp and the pre-season, but do you want to see Pevs on the top line to start things out? Or are you comfortable with mixing things up to the point we break up the Little White Russian line and really get creative?
August 24th, 2009
12:28 pm
For what it's worth…Anyone else notice that Eklund has Satan coming here? Could be interesting. He'd be good for that third line LW spot.
August 24th, 2009
12:28 pm
Doesn't Antropov also have the ability to play center? How about a Kovy-Antropov-Little top line?
August 24th, 2009
12:38 pm
Rawhide – indeed it is ironic that DWad finally found salvation by listening to someone else for a change! Well, someone other than one of our octo-cluster cronies. Too bad Savard makes 10 times more than Peverley or else he'd be ours! Actually, if Peverley can post at least 15-20 goals and 40-50 assists, AND maintain the same defensive prowess, say a +15 or better, I'd say that his defensive soundness just about makes up for the 30 or so additional assists that Savard would provide.
Scotty — I believe Antropov has played C before, but with somewhat mixed results. He doesn't seem to have the best reputation when it comes to face-off winning percentage, but then again, that can be an overrated stat. However, I will say that he certainly can't out-race Peverley or even Whitey from end to end. For that reason primarily I think a lot of folks here like them at the pivot more than Antro.
But then again, I should let them answer for themselves…(crickets)…anyone? Bueller? Ranallo? Bob? What about Bob??

Report from Olympia
The Northern Light asked our local state legislators to give us their take on the successes and failures of the recently concluded legislative session. We first ran their responses on April 4, but Representative Kelli Linvilles submission was received too late for that edition. Here it is now.
Representative Kelli Linville
Going into this years legislative session, we faced an operating-budget shortfall of $1.2 billion. The deficit grew to $1.5 billion by mid-February. This chasm is the difference between programs in last years original budget and funds needed to pay the bill. The recession, earthquake and terrorism demanded hard decisions to get the budget back in balance.
All along, I rejected any general tax hike.
The increased joblessness caused by such an action would make matters far worse for countless Whatcom County families! Further, a tax increase would make it harder for our entire state to escape this recession. I also opposed slashing childrens programs or imposing radical cuts in services for other people who cannot take care of themselves as a way to balance the budget.
A day before our deadline, in fact, we reached an agreement to get the budget back in reasonable balance without hiking general taxes, and without making knockout cuts.
Writing a new budget certainly wasnt our only responsibility this year. People in Point Roberts and Blaine and other parts of Whatcom County are as familiar with transportation problems as anyone in Washington. Ill talk more in a few lines about the transportation legislation passed this year.
First, I want to emphasize the importance of the economic-stimulus package we approved. Whatcom County provisions in this package highlight:
Building-improvements at the state park near Birch Bay.
Heating and other repairs at Whatcom Community College and Bellingham Technical College.
Infrastructure projects at Western Washington University. Our efficiency and accountability plan for transportation was the first big measure endorsed this session.
The legislation authorizes more contracting-out for design and construction which is an emphasis on stronger partnerships with private companies.
The separate transportation-funding plan includes these Whatcom County projects:
Nooksack Road to Cherry Street - an all-weather road.
Laurel to Badger Road - improvements.
State Route 542/Orleans Road - widening.
Sunset Drive - improvements.
Interstate 5 in Blaine to Canadian border additional lanes.
This 10-year, $7.7 billion statewide proposal seeks to improve safety and efficiency. The proposal includes money for transit and rail. We recognize the importance both of freight mobility for moving our goods and products to their ports and markets and of human mobility for moving our citizens in appropriate transportation-alternatives to their destinations.
A nine-cent increase in the state gas tax five cents starting next January and four cents the following year would produce most of the revenue. A 30 percent increase in the gross vehicle-weight fee half next January and half the following year and a one-percent sales tax increase on vehicles starting next January would produce the rest of the revenue.
Washington citizens will make the final decision on the plan this November.
My additional, specific issues affecting Whatcom County include:
Water. We took another step toward ensuring a safe, healthy supply of water for families, farms and fish.
Agriculture. We encouraged efficient, potentially profitable use of dairy waste. We also cracked down on frivolous complaints against dairy farmers. And we guarded tax exemptions won for farmers last year.
Recycling. We rekindled Washingtons commitment to the wise, conscientious use of resources.
Efficiency. We streamlined the permit process so people dont have to jump through a million agency hoops to do a job.
Drug courts. We patterned statewide drug treatment after a successful Whatcom County

2. Toss the asparagus in a bowl with the olive oil and season lightly with salt and pepper.
3. Spread the asparagus in one layer on a baking sheet. Roast until just tender, 10 to 12 minutes, depending on the thickness of the asparagus (thinner ones will cook more quickly).
4. Transfer the asparagus to a serving dish and toss with the herbs and capers. Taste and adjust the seasoning, if necessary. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Smoky Bloody Mary Recipe
The ultimate hangover cocktail, a good Bloody Mary makes everything better. This smoky version uses barbecue sauce and chipotles in adobo sauce to give it a nice edge. If you're having a hard time finding chipotles in adobo sauce, be creative and add in a different smoked pepper or look for smoky barbecue sauce.
What to buy: Chipotles are dried, smoked jalapeño peppers. This recipe calls for the canned variety, chipotles in adobo sauce (aka chipotle en adobo), packed in a spicy sauce. Look for them in the Latin section of your supermarket.
This recipe was featured as part of our New Year's Day Brunch menu.
- 2 ounces vodka
- 4 ounces tomato juice
- 1/2 teaspoon finely grated fresh horseradish
- 3 dashes Worcestershire sauce
- 3 dashes hot sauce, such as Tabasco
- Pinch of kosher salt
- Pinch of freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon barbecue sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon finely chopped chipotles in adobo sauce
- Generous squeeze of lemon juice
- Pinch of celery seeds
- 1 English cucumber, cut into 4-inch-long spears
- 1 large green olive
- Ice
- Combine all of the ingredients except the cucumber spear and olive in a cocktail shaker with ice.
- Shake to combine, and then strain over fresh ice into a highball glass. Garnish with the cucumber and olive.

Dame Helen Mirren (July 26th, 1945)Helen Mirren has always been a hottie. Go check her out in Caligula or Savage Messiah, always hot and always willing to take her clothes off; two traits I love in a woman. But not just looks, she's smart, got a mouth like a sailor, British, and she's an Atheist, all things I love.
But Marvin, now she's 67! Yeah, and? Have you seen her in a bikini? Easy to say that my infatuation with her really grew with those bathing suit pics. I would be an insanely fortunate person if my wife looked as good as Helen at 67. Young old, now then, it doesn't matter Helen Mirren is breathtaking.
Happy Birthday, Helen!

With my family, preparation for Thanksgiving begins weeks in advance. When my mom and I aren't planning the menu, we're brainstorming homemade centerpiece ideas and coming up with funny nicknames to put on the place setting cards. When the week of Thanksgiving hits, the cooking begins. We prepare as much as we can in advance and freeze it.
My favorite part of the preparation happens the night before Thanksgiving: the desserts. Growing up, my mom would always recruit my sister and I to help out with the pies. One of us would make the pecan while the other made the pumpkin (I usually fought for the latter—I didn't like nuts when I was younger). It became a tradition when I was in college. I would drive home after my classes Wednesday and we'd have a baking party with family and friends. We would sometimes be up until 1 a.m. baking pies, laughing because I messed up the rum measurements for the pie or because my mom mutilated an apple trying to use her new apple corer.
The morning of Thanksgiving, we're all summoned to duty where my mom and dad give us a military-style rundown of who's in charge of what. After we've figured out the Rubik's cube of how long each dish needs to cook for and which dishes can be baked at the same temperature, my dad carves the turkey and we finally sit down to the delicious result of our weeks worth of work.
I love our family pie recipes, but after working on this November's issue of Cooking with Paula Deen, I've learned some new ways to make them even more delicious. I'll definitely be making our Salted Caramel Pumpkin Pie and will encourage my sister to try her hand at our Bourbon Pecan Pie—and yes, I do eat pecan pie now! There are so many great ways to update your classic pies. If you're a fan of French Silk Pies, you'll love the Chocolate Cream Pie with Peanut Butter Topping. And why not throw some pears in with your apple pie for added sweetness? That's what we did for our Double-Crust Apple-Pear Pie! Check out all of our pies and other Thanksgiving recipes in our November issue, or click here to get a sweet taste of what we have to offer!

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- All northbound lanes of I-71 in Oldham County are now open after a tractor-trailer overturned this morning.
It happened about 7:40 a.m. at the LaGrange exit. The right lane was completely blocked for several hours after the semi carrying 45,000 pounds of coiled steel lost part of its load.
Andrea Clifford with the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet says all lanes were re-opened around 10:30 a.m.
