Lewiston, ME -For the second straight game, the Portland Pirates fell to the St. John's IceCaps at home, this time dropping a 4-2 decision Friday night. Pirates forward Brendan Shinniman scored both the Pirates goals in the loss.
The night started with the Pirates honoring assistant coach John Slaney for his pending induction into the AHL Hall of Fame. Alternate captains Brett Hextall, Brandon MacMillan and Chris Summers presented Slaney with an engraved watch after his wife and children surprised him on the Pirates bench.
The Pirates came out with plenty of fight early on, as Kyle Hagel got into his fourth fight of the season, trading blows with Ryan Schnell at 3:19. Three minutes later, after Darian Dziurzynski took a hit that sent him awkwardly into the boards, Phil Lane dropped the mitts with Cody Lampl. But the IceCaps struck the biggest blow in the first when Eric O'Dell scored eight and half minutes in. After the Pirates failed to get the puck into the IceCaps zone, JC Lipon skated the puck through the neutral zone and down the left wing boards. He cut towards the net and fed the puck back as he hit the goal line to the waiting O'Dell who roofed the puck past Mark Visentin to give St. John's the 1-0 lead.
The Pirates fought back, getting great pressure on the IceCaps around the 14:00 mark which eventually led to Travis Ehrhardt taking a hooking penalty to give the Pirates a chance to even the score. But again, the Pirates had a difficult time breaking into the IceCaps zone and again the IceCaps capitalized, as Zach Redmond and Jason Jaffray broke in on a shorthanded two-on-one that saw a blocked shot from Jaffray bounce off a defender and into the back of the Pirates net.
Then, late in the first, Brandon Yip was whistled for a double-minor high sticking penalty which the IceCaps wasted no time taking advantage of. With just seven seconds remaining in the period, Redmond took a one-timer from the top of the left circle that beat Visentin and gave the IceCaps a commanding 3-0 lead in the game.
The Pirates mounted a comeback in the second. With Louis Domingue replacing Visentin in net for the second straight game, the Pirates opened the scoring in the second period with a great 2-on-1 shorthanded goal. With Gilbert Brule in the penalty box for tripping, Pirates forward Brandon MacMillan poked the puck away from the IceCaps defenseman at the blue line where Brendan Shinnimin picked it up to start the break. With Shinnimin coming down the left, MacMillan took the middle. Shinnimin fed the pass over to MacMillan who put himself in a perfect pass or shoot position. He decided on feeding the puck back to his teammate who promptly stuffed it home past Eddie Pasquale.
Later on, it was almost an instant replay as MacMillan drifted into the IceCaps zone holding onto the puck. With extreme patience, he again passed the puck over to Shinnimin on the left side of the net, who roofed it past Pasquale. The Pirates had fought back to within one goal of the IceCaps and now only trailed 3-2.
But the IceCaps extended their lead to two at 17:01 as O'Dell deflected a slapshot from the point. While Domingue was able to make the initial save, the rebound bounced right back to O'Dell who easily put it into the waiting cage.
In the third, the Pirates managed 14 shots on goal, but were unable to get any past Pasquale.
The Pirates fall to 2-5-0-1 on the season and 0-4-0-1 at the Colisée. Their next game is Friday Nov. 8 against the Worcester Sharks.

NEWS BLOG (WSAU) God bless Pope Francis.
His Holiness has been doing something unusual in his spare time. He's asked his aides to gather some of the prayer requests from tourists who visit the Sistine Chapel. He reads some of them in his apartment and has been making phone calls to some of the writers. Several Italian tabloids have reported on the calls, which usually starts with, "Hello, this is the Pope." This will probably have to stop. Most of the call is spent trying to convince the person on the other end of the line that this isn't a joke. Then he prays with them.
By now you've heard of the humility of Pope Francis, and some of his controversial and seeming conflicting statements about gays, birth control, the role of women in the church, and who does and doesn't get into Heaven. None of that is particularly important.
There is a paradigm shift happening right before our eyes, and not everyone realizes it.
The Catholic Church presents the papacy as the embodiment of Jesus Christ on Earth. The Pope is infallible, without sin, divinely chosen to lead the Church. The Pope isn't one of us. He's more divine than man. And Francis rejects all of that, insisting he's a pilgrim seeking God just like the rest of us. He's only more qualified than we are because he's devoted his life to questions religion and faith. Francis is more like the old testament prophets; seemingly ordinary people chosen to deliver God's messages.
I can't present myself as an expert theologian. But in this Pope I see more of Jesus' teachings than any other time in my life. Religion isn't a hammer used to beat other people down. Instead it instructs you and me on how to live our lives and what our relationship to God should be. Those are questions that will take a lifetime to ponder, and leave very little time to be bogged down in the shortcomings of others. I have more than enough of my own faults to examine before casting stones. The Pope's warnings about obsession with small-minded rules is no accident.
Consider a gay man raised in the Catholic church as a child. Should he be cut off from the church forever because of his sexuality? What about a woman who gets an abortion? Does her guilt and shame never end? The drug addict, the criminal, the prostitute… are the church doors closed to them? I'm divorced. Am I damned? I believe all of the above are sins. But only by welcoming sinners into the church might they examine themselves and consider the possibility that there's a better way. The psalmist tells us ...as far as the east is from the west, so far hath He removed our transgressions from us. Christ sought out exactly these types of sinners for his ministry. These are the ones Pope Francis calls out to rediscover their faith. And he tells the rule-followers do not to push them away.
The Pope's message of inclusiveness is important, and so far it's been mostly received as a series of breaks from church dogma. That's unfortunate. How long until we realize that the Almighty has given us the right person at the right time to lead His church?

In the go-along-to-get-along world of the House GOP caucus, Rep. Mike Callton stands out like a sore, yet intelligent thumb.
While it appears that the entire Republican membership in the house is opposed to creating the governor's much sought after Marketplace Health care system, there is the first term lawmaker from tiny Nashville, tilting at windmills pretty much all by his lonesome.
"It's the law," he is telling anyone who will listen and so far not many have.
He contends the governor is right and action should be taken now while the House GOP Speaker and company are content to study this thing, some think to death. The Speaker disagrees btw.
"I favored waiting until after the Supreme Court decision," the GOP vice chair of Health Policy reports. But now there is a decision and Mr. Callton fears that while the rest of the free world is signing off on this, his own party is in danger of focusing too much on "ideology" and could find itself "politically isolated" just because its an election year.
And he concedes that in his caucus the "politics" of this issue, i.e. not wanting to support anything that President Obama favors, is winning out over the merits of creating more competition for health care for consumers. In a vanilla caucus that does not much embrace individual thinking for fear it might be different from the pack, Callton's comments borders on treason. Yet there he is speaking his mind
Mr. Callton, in breaking with his committee chair and Speaker on the timing of all this, is also out of step on voting for $9.8 million from the federal government.
The governor wants the Obama-bucks to start the planning process now. House R's were suppose to give it to him last Wednesday. He got a goose egg instead.
Interestingly the House Democratic floor leader, who agrees with colleague Callton, says her side has reached out to the governor's office to make a deal on all this, but Rep. Kate Segal (D-Battle Creek) reports the D's have gotten a goose egg from him.
Maybe Mr. C. can play Henry Kissinger and do a little shuttle diplomacy with both sides to get where he thinks the state should go, if his colleagues don't slap some duct tape on his mouth first.

We recently caught up with Vater Drumstick Artist Matt Johnson in Boston while he was on tour with St. Vincent. While Matt was here, we asked him to discuss his work on Jeff Buckley's "Grace" album as 2014 marks the 20th Anniversary of it's release. "Grace" was Jeff Buckley's only completed studio album to be released as Jeff died in a drowning accident in 1997.
In this video, Matt talks about meeting Jeff just a very short time before they tracked the album, and goes somewhat track-by-track to talk about his drum parts, the recording process for the album, how the drum set configuration varied, and how some aspects of his playing on that album were a result of, what he calls, "fear and stark terror" during the recording process.
Matt Johnson reflects on "Grace":
Vater is very excited to
welcome iconic drummer Tim Alexander to the Artist Family. Tim was the drummer
in Primus from 1989-1996 and 2003-2009. Fellow Vater Artist Jay Lane
came back into Primus in 2009 until Tim's return to the band in 2013.
Tim has also released 2
albums with Laundry and was also the first drummer in A Perfect Circle and can
be heard on "The Hollow" from the Mer de Noms album. Additionally, Tim
has also performed in the Blue Man Group as well as Maynard James Keenan's
project, Puscifer.
The first official Primus show with Tim Alexander back on
drums was New Year's Eve 2013 at The Fox Theater in Oakland. The band performed
their first set with the original "Suck On This" backdrop hung on the stage. For their second
set, Primus performed the soundtrack from the 1971 film "Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory" in
its entirety.
Tim Alexander is currently using a
Vater Tim Alexander prototype stick model made in maple along with the Vater Vintage Bomber Beater, and various mallets and specialty sticks.
Vater Artists on Tim Alexander:
"Pork Soda was my
first introduction to Tim Alexander's playing, and up until that point, I was
unaware of how creative one could be as a drummer. I spent many nights cobbling
together the craziest f-ing kits as I tried to harness even an ounce of what
that guy was doing." Miles McPherson.
"Listening to Tim
Alexander is like perpetually being musically head faked, his playing is so
creative and precise you never see it coming. It's what makes him a modern day
legend." Mike Byrne [Smashing
"Tim Alexander was one of
my earliest and biggest influences. His playing has influenced a whole
generation and he's extremely humble about that. We got to play in Puscifer
together and it was awesome to not only work with him but to become friends.
Glad he's on board with Vater!" –Gil
Sharone [Stolen Babies]
"I had the pleasure
of watching Tim play from the side of the stage a few times and I was always
impressed by his incredible chops..but he played for the songs too. Effortlessly
marrying chops and musicality. Welcome to the Vater family!" Joe Sirois [Mighty Mighty Bosstones/Roll The Tanks]
"Every now and then
a drummer comes along that, with their musicality and innovative playing,
captures every musician's attention.....he's one of those drummers!" James Harrison [Drum Line Instructor: Boise State
"A huge inspiration while I was growing
up learning how to play drums. I was always analyzing his playing and his drum
kit. He makes his grooves and fills extremely tasteful and makes such difficult
parts look easy. He is one of the best out there and great addition to the
Vater family!" Nate Walker [Lit]
master of groove and truly one of the most unique drummers out there, Tim
Alexander proves time and time again that anything is possible on a drum kit…all
he needs is a pair of VATER sticks!" –Cyrus Bolooki [New Found Glory]
"My teenage ticket to WTF is this!?…held together
by one hell of a drummer that covered the full spectrum of sonic possibilities
in a rock band. And the album covers had clay art which was cool! I had them
all...cassette tapes at that time, that is."
-Tony Escapa [Ricky Martin/Independent]
We were very proud and excited when the results of Alternative Press Magazine's annual Readers Poll results were announced late December 2013, as all top 3 drummers who topped the poll are Vater Drumstick Artists! The top 3 winners for Drummer of the Year, as chosen by Alternative Press Magazine Readers, are:

Chad Sexton is currently using a custom prototype model from Vater. Stay tuned for more info to come on that.
311 Bio/Highlights:

TONS of Vater Artists came by to show their love and support and to fill us in on what they have coming up in the new year. Our after show adventures were filled with hanging with friends and Vater Artists and catching some of the live performances that included some by Vater Artists Jen Lowe (who fronted her own band) Chris Dave and Drumheadz at the Sabain Live Party and much more.

DETROIT (WKZO) -- The United Auto Workers Union is expected to make a final decision on due increases within the next few weeks.
The organization recently hosted a series of town hall meetings at local shops to discuss increasing dues roughly 25-percent. The union is reportedly considering the hike in an effort to boost its strike fund.
UAW-Ford Department Vice President Jimmy Settles says they're having conversations with members to see how they would feel about an increase. If the hike is implemented, it would be the first increase since the late 1960s.

Tiesta Tea is a story about four friends who have put their complete faith in loose-leaf tea, and how this all-natural necessity has never steered them wrong.
From childhood friends to a wild weekend in Prague, they never thought tea would be their calling. It was in some tiny Czech teahouse that they got hooked on loose-leaf tea. Three months later, they started making their own. Their professors and parents thought they were nuts, but a couple friends believed in them, blending tea in exchange for pizza and beer. They're a tight knit crew that keeps it simple; all-natural loose-leaf tea blends with real fruits and herbs. They tell you what matters: what it does for you, what it tastes like, and how to make it. So what's stopping you? Get rid of those boring ol' tea bags and dive in, because once you get loose, you'll never go bagged.
Availability: Usually Ships Within 24-48 Hours
Tiesta Tea Relaxer Herbal Tea Nutty Almond Cream - 2.1 oz. (58.8g) (15-25 Cups)
Sweet almond with apple and cinnamon provide a nutty finish to the soothing blend. The unique nuttiness is unobtainable anywhere else. Tiesta Tea Relaxer Herbal Tea Nutty Almond Cream has relaxing characteristics to help you unwind after a long day. Tiesta Tea Relaxer Nutty Almond Cream contains herbal teas with various ingredients known to produce relaxing effects, which help you deal with stress. Herbal (or "Tisane") Teas don't actually contain tea leaves, but they are chock-full of ingredients that help you escape stress and boost your immune system. Because herbal teas do not contain tea leaves, all herbal blends are caffeine free. Tiesta Tea Relaxer Herbal Tea makes 15-25 cups.
Following are some of the herbs and botanicals found in herbal infusion:
Brewing Tea Hot
Step 1: ScoopA recommended amount of loose tea you'll want to scoop is about 1.5 tsp for every 8 ounces of water. If you enjoy a rich, stronger tasting tea, don't be afraid to let that scoop reach the bottom of the bag and repeat.
Step 2: SteepIt's time to start brewing your loose tea leaves. Each tea type is brewed at a different time and temperature. If you're not familiar with how long you should let your tea steep, refer to the Temps & Times section at the top of this page for a chart of tea types and their brewing instructions.
Step 3: EscapeAfter you've poured in your water and let your tea steep, it's time to remove the loose tea leaves and enjoy the delicious health benefits of all- natural loose tea. Remember, brewing tea is an art form! There is no right or wrong way to do this, so keep trying different methods of steeping and continue to discover the amazing benefits of loose leaf tea.
Brewing Tea Iced
Step 1: Scoop DoubleWhen brewing iced tea, you'll want to steep a stronger, more concentrated tea. The recommended amount of loose leaf tea is 3 tsp for every 8 oz of water. It may take some tweaking to get the taste you desire, but that's half the fun!
Step 2: SteepNow that you've tossed in double the amount of loose tea, brewing iced tea is identical to brewing a hot cup of tea. Just follow the recommended "Times & Temps" chart above. Make sure to remove your loose tea leaves at the recommended time, to make sure your tea leaves don't burn.
Step 3: EscapeRemove your loose tea leaves and pour over ice. Your tea concentrate should melt the ice and dilute down to a full flavored iced tea. You may need to add extra ice to the hot tea to accelerate the cool down process.
Tips & Tricks
Makeshift FilterIf you ever find yourself without a loose tea brewer, don't panic! Chances are, something you can use to infuse your tea is within reach. You may just have to get a little creative. One of the most practical choices is using an everyday coffee filter. Just scoop your loose tea into an empty coffee filter and tie shut the top with string or twine (anything that will stay uncompromised by boiling water). This process can be applied to anything that will allow water to seep in and steep your loose tea leaves. Just make sure whatever paper towel or cloth you are using isn't treated by any sort of chemicals.
Reusable KcupThe ease of tossing in a cup and pushing a button has allowed single serve brewing machines to find their rightful place on the countertops of kitchens all across the globe. This extremely simple process can be used to brew your loose tea leaves as well! All you need is a reusable K-Cup. Just scoop in your loose tea leaves, pour in some water, push the button and voilá! Your cup of all natural loose leaf tea is ready to go!
Cool DownWhen it comes to brewing loose tea leaves, the most common question seems to always be "How do I know what temperature my water is?" Here is a tip to help make your brewing experience easier. First, bring the water to a boil. As soon as your water maintains a steady "roll", the temperature will generally be around 208 degrees Fahrenheit. If the instructions call for 195 degree water like in black tea or oolong tea, just add an average sized ice cube for every 16 oz. of water. If your tea calls for 175 degree water, add two ice cubes for every 16 oz. This works wonders if you don't have a thermometer.
ResteepSteep your loose tea leaves again and again. When tea leaves are resteeped, they often release more flavor and nutrients the second, third or even fourth time steeped.
White teas become slightly sweeter with each resteep.
Green teas, especially ones tightly wound or twisted, often taste better after the first or second steep.
Oolong teas often reveal more character nuances every resteep.
Most herbal and fruit teas provide the most flavor on the first steep. The second one can still be pretty good though!
A Little LemonThe next time you're looking for something to add a little flavor to your cup of tea, grab a fresh lemon. A little squeeze of a ripe lemon not only adds a refreshing splash of citrus, it also reveals some of the more subtle flavor nuances hiding in your cup of loose tea.

Don't know if you've noticed, but 2012 seems to have been the Year of the Infographic. Everyone and their dog is producing impressively designed fact-filled charts and giving them away to bloggers. I've published a few myself at TY4NS.
And, of course, there are dozens of infographics about dogs.
[12 scams of Christmas and how to avoid them and How to make sure important emails never get sent to spam]
Why do organizations spend the time and money on these things only to give them away? So they can get backlinks to their sites, raising their SEO profile and giving them lots of Google juice. Sometimes, though, the motives are a little more nefarious.
One of the biggest producers of infographics – and one of the skeeviest, in my opinion – is OnlineSchools.org. At the site's "Visual Academy" you'll find infographics on topics ranging from brains to breasts to boogers, as well as other a variety of other alphabetically organized subjects (guns, grenades, gambling; Star Trek, strippers, suicide; etc).
A couple years back I published a particularly elaborate infographic from OnlineSchools on my sometimes-NSFW sarcasm site. It was about how people spend their time on the Internet, but I used it as a springboard to create my own more juvenile take on the topic.
Recently I got a series of emails from one Eric Bergstrom of OnlineSchools, asking me to please change the anchor text of my now two-year-old post. Each request contained the following vaguely ominous, grammatically questionable phrase:
We have recently received warning from Google that they are suspicious of link trading schemes surrounding this, and we want to make sure that you are taking the necessary precautionary measures so that your site is not adversely affected.

Taxpayers will chip in for a new hotel in Durham.
A new "Residence Inn by Marriott" is planned for the intersection of West Main, Watts and Morgan streets.
It will cost nearly $30 million to build the 143-room hotel.
The City council approved $1.3 million in incentives for economic development and historic preservation.
The hotel will preserve some architectural elements of the historic McPherson Hospital on the site, which the city council hopes will help tie the hotel in with the nearby Trinity Park neighborhood.
The city will pay the incentives only after the project is complete, the architecture is preserved and the property tax on the hotel is generated.

Wireless SuperCameras
Quick, what gadget won Best of Show awards at BOTH the Consumer Electronics Show and Macworld Expo this month? If you guessed some form of music player or high-def video equipment, you'd be forgiven, but the answer is Eye-Fi, a tiny little SD card that fits in most digital cameras and gives them wireless superpowers as well as 2GB of memory.
With Eye-Fi, you can send photos directly to your Mac or PC, and to photo sharing sites like Flickr, Facebook, Photobucket, Webshots, Snapfish, Windows Live, TypePad and many more. There's no USB cable to remember or carry around. (How many times have you forgotten yours or had to buy a new one because you left it somewhere?) All you need is your camera and a Wi-Fi network, at your home, work or friends' house. You don't even need your laptop for uploading to the Web. Wi-Fi encryption passwords are supported, although not logins at places like Starbucks, where a Web browser would be needed to get online. At Macworld Expo Eye-Fi also announced support for direct iPhoto import.
Before Eye-Fi, there were a few cameras with built-in Wi-Fi, but with very limited features. For example, the Nikon CoolPix 550c lets you send pics from the camera to your PC without wires, but only supports Flickr and a special Nikon site for uploads. The Eye-Fi's ability to work with a wide variety of sites and any camera model that takes SD cards is liberating.
Even so, the Eye-Fi's success should push more camera vendors down the wireless route. Wireless photo transfer and uploading is just too good a feature to leave entirely to third parties. At CES, Sony was showing a camera with an entirely new wireless technology, dubbed TransferJet, that works simply by touching two TransferJet-enabled devices together. It runs at a peak speeds of 560Mbps and sustained throughput of 375Mbps, far faster than Wi-Fi, and comparable to USB 2.0 at 480Mbps or FireWire at 400Mbps. Sony envisions it being used in cameras, camcorders, cell phones and other portable devices, with data being transferred to your computer, media player or even TV for direct playback. Imagine touching your cell phone to your computer to download photos and video, or your camcorder to your TV to view your latest recording on the big screen. We can't wait.

Everton's Under-18s need just a point from their final game of the league campaign to make the end of season play-offs.
A 2-0 defeat at Fulham on Saturday ended the young Blues' hopes of topping the elite group - but they are still in the running to feature in the knock-out stage.
Harry Charsley had Everton's first chance, hitting the side netting 12 minutes in before Fulham took over and had a couple of near misses.
Ryan Ledson could have opened the scoring five minutes before the break but he fired over from Charsley's pass.
But five minutes after half time the Cottagers took the lead when Lyle Della Verde's free kick found its way into the net.
Everton tried to get back into it but it was the home side who had opportunities to extend their lead and they even spurned a penalty before Emerson Hyndman made it safe with two minutes to go.
The Blues now face rock bottom Crystal Palace on Tuesday where a point will be enough to book a top three place.

Builder brings the outside in
Morrie De Boer is the first contractor to purchase lots in Charlie Lewsader's 29-acre Malibu development near Point Whitehorn.
A partnership that De Boer formed with realtor Jim Kaemingk called Northwest Ideal Construction has purchased the first four lots in Lewsader's 101-unit development where prices range from $135,000 to $169,000 per lot, most of which are about 11,000 to 12,000 square feet, larger than the typical 8,000-square-foot building lot.
"The average price in the development should be in the ballpark of about $480,000," Lewsader said.
According to De Boer, their first unit is listed at $489,900. This house is about a month away from completion and, he says, its design shows how he's trying to bring the outdoors inside by taking the inside out, something he'll design into all four structures.
He's doing this in several ways. The development itself is an easy walk to Birch Bay State Park, a few blocks north, with all its outdoor amenities.
The four houses he's building are on the high southern side of the 29-acre development and have views of Birch Bay, Birch Point and the B.C. Coast Mountains in the distance.
Once houses are built in the lots across the street the view will be somewhat restricted but the houses will be sited to keep at least partial views between them.
The 2,450-square-foot house has a great room on the ground floor that also includes dining, kitchen and entryway areas.
The southwest-facing wall opposite the main entry features two sets of glass doors and a string of windows that face a conservation easement which rings the development around the outside edge and passes behind De Boer's project houses. The easement takes up several acres and a trail winds through the middle of it.
Walking in the front door, visitors are treated to a panoramic view of the natural vegetation in the buffer that is so close it almost looks like a nature display.
This view can't be blocked. Whatcom County has posted signs on the trail warning "This upland buffer and critical area is protected to provide wildlife habitat and maintain water quality. Please do not disturb this valuable resource."
Kaemingk said "We're targeting empty nesters, like the couple retiring from Boeing who told us they wanted a place they could vacation in for a few years before moving in permanently."
He sees the protected area encircling the property as a kind of community trust, and hopes that it will be a draw for people who will be interested in protecting it.
The final touch is the outside living room, just outside a set of double-hung glass doors that frame the view of the conservation easement.
De Boer has created an inviting outdoor space defined by a concrete pad that extends out into the lawn, pillars clad in cedar, a large porch-type roof overhead and an outside gas fireplace faced with stone that goes to the ceiling.
Between the trees near the house and the roof the area should be reasonably weatherproof for outside gatherings at least six months out of the year.

SACRAMENTO, CA - JANUARY 03: California governor Jerry Brown (R) and his wife Anne Gust Brown (L) enjoy a hot dog during the People's Party after he was sworn in as the 39th governor of California by California on January 3, 2011 in Sacramento, California. Jerry Brown will begin his third term as California's governor 28 years after serving his last term. (Photo by Justin Sullivan/Getty Images) *** Local Caption *** Jerry Brown;Anne Gust-Brown
I wrote here yesterday that Gov. Jerry Brown's inaugural was a smart speech with an important message that Californians need to buck up and prepare to sacrifice. I still feel that way, but there's one section of the speech that's more troubling the more I read it.
This passage came late in the speech:
"It is sobering and enlightening to read through the inaugural addresses of past governors. They each start on a high note of grandeur and then focus on virtually the same recurring issues—education, crime, budgets, water.
"I have thought a lot about this and it strikes me that what we face together as Californians are not so much problems but rather conditions, life's inherent difficulties. A problem can be solved or forgotten but a condition always remains. It remains to elicit the best from each of us and show us how we depend on one another and how we have to work together."
That sounds cool and philosphical. It's also total bunk.
Of course, the issues facing the state are timeless, in some sense, particularly education, budget and water. But what California faces governmentally are NOT "life's inherent difficulties." California has problems on issues but it has deeper problems of its governing and fiscal systems that are peculiar to California and not inherent in anything. Our inflexible initiative process is like no other process on earth. That's not inherent. We have more two-thirds vote requirements and other constitutional spending and tax mandates than any other state in the country. That's not inherent to life. And we have a broken election system that we could change (and are beginning to change).
Brown, however, has expressed no interest in dealing with these systemic problems. And in this speech, he suggests the state's problems aren't even problems. They are merely conditions, destined always to be with us. Brown is being praised this morning for his leadership and realism yesterday. But this part of the speech showed neither. This is fatalism. And it isn't even realistic. Californians face systemic problems, hard problems, but they can be fixed--by adopting new systems of initiative, budget and elections that have proven records of success in other parts of the world.
If the speech is any guide, Californians who want to fix the state's problems shouldn't count on much help from the new governor.

KENNEWICK, Wash. – The Americans scored two late goals to defeat the Chiefs 3-2, putting an end to an exciting series and advancing them to the Western Conference Finals.
Spokane got the scoring going late in the first period when Dominik Uher tapped in a shot by Blake Gal, giving the Chiefs a 1-0 lead with 1:12 to go in the opening period. Dylan Walchuk also assisted on the play.
Despite being behind after a period of play, Tri-City dominated in puck control, taking 14 shots compared to the Chiefs four.
The Americans answered back just over five minutes into the second when Brian Williams scored a goal assisted by Brendan Shinnimin and Derek Ryckman.
The puck dominance by the Am's continued as they took 15 shots in the second while the Chiefs had five.
5:47 into the third, Mitch Holmberg continued his excellent postseason tapping a goal in on a pretty pass by Mike Aviani. Holmberg's 11th goal of the postseason gave the Chiefs a 2-1 lead.
The Americans once again answered back when Adam Hughesman and Connor Rankin assisted on a Malte Stromwall goal at the 14:38 mark. Tri-City would then take their first lead of the game about a minute later as Shinnimin put the puck in the net on a goal assisted by Williams and Sam Grist.
The Chiefs pulled Goalie Eric Williams with about a minute and a half remaining, but were unable to salvage a tying goal with an extra man on the ice.
The outnumbering in shooting continued for Tri-City, outshooting Spokane 19 to 10 in the third, totaling 48 for the Americans and 19 for the Chiefs.
In comparison to Am's Goalie Ty Rimmer, Williams for Spokane had a very busy night with 45 saves on 48 shots. Rimmer didn't see nearly as much action as he had 17 saves on 19 shots.
Tri-City will face the Portland Winterhawks in the Western Conference Finals. Game One of the series will be on Friday in Kennewick at 7:05 p.m.

Drop-in trigger/hammer system requires no gunsmithing to give your small-pin AR-15 a rugged, reliable trigger with a smooth, consistent two-stage pull. Fixtures custom designed by CMMG engineers are used for final grinding of 10 separate contact surfaces on the trigger, disconnector, and hammer for a crisp, precise, consistent hammer release. Brass bushings reduce friction to help ensure an ultra-smooth pull and exceptionally fast locktime. Rounded, low-mass hammer further speeds locktime and reduces wear on contact surfaces. Each trigger is function tested before it leaves the factory to ensure correct operation. Works equally well in .22 LR conversions and AR-style .308 rifles. Standard-weight trigger and hammer springs included; will work with aftermarket reduced-power springs.
SPECS: Steel, black oxide finish. Brass bushings. Kit includes preassembled trigger/disconnector unit, hammer, trigger spring, hammer spring, and instructions. Fits AR-15/AR-style .308 with .154" trigger and hammer pins.

MARTIN COUNTY - About 200 supporters of an effort to fight breast cancer are set to take to the streets next month for Indiantown Community Outreach's second annual breast cancer awareness walk-a-thon.
The event is set for Oct. 20 and will cover 5 kilometers or about 3 miles.
Indiantown Community Outreach is working with the Susan G. Komen Foundation, which identified Indiantown as an underserved area for cancer education and resources.
"We need a lot of manpower for what we do," said Jackie Clarke, CEO of the local nonprofit organization. "We're working to bring awareness in the hope that one day the world will be free of breast cancer and every other kind of cancer, as well."
When the group organized its first walk-a-thon fundraiser last year, it generated enough community support to serve about 800 low-income women with no or insufficient health insurance to cover the cost of their medical care. It provided mammograms, education on breast health, financial assistance with medical bills, translation services and transportation to healthcare providers.
Indiantown Community Outreach is also looking to broaden its outreach amid growing numbers of breast cancer cases among men.
"We speak a lot to women but we have to have information for men, too," Ms. Clarke said.
Last year's walk generated about $7,000 to the group in cash and donations, including a 36-inch flat-screen television that served as a grand prize.
Organizers hope to raise around $10,000 this year. They're seeking sponsors to donate prizes and lend other support.
"This is a small community but the businesses have always been very generous, and we've always been able to come back to the well," Ms. Clarke said.
Residents who want to participate in the effort can register for the walk. The fee is $10. Participants must sign up by Oct. 9 to request specific sizes for shirts included in registration packages.
For more information, call (772) 597-1771.

We're LIVE! at the Timberwolves Draft Party and will bring you all the sights and sounds as the Wolves draft 9th and 26th overall.
So many trade rumors are floating right now.
Will the Wolves trade up to pick Indiana guard Victor Oladipo or are they content to stay at the 9th pick.
Draft Order (First Roud):
1. Cleveland - Anthony Bennett- UNLV
2. Orlando - Victor Oladipo - Indiana
3. Washington - Otto Porter Jr. - Georgetown
4. Charotte - Cody Zeller - Indiana
5. Phoenix - Alex Len - Maryland
6. New Orleans - Nerlens Noel - Kentucky (Traded to Philadelphia)
7. Sacramento - Ben Maclemore - Kansas
8. Detroit - Kentavious Caldwell-Pope- Georgia
9. TIMBERWOLVES - Trey Burke - Michigan (Traded to Utah for 14th and 21st)
10. Portland - CJ McCollum - Lehigh
11. Philadelphia - Michael Carter- Williams - Syracyse
12. Oklahoma City - Steven Adams - Pittsburgh
13. Dallas - Kelly Olynyk - Gonzaga (Traded to Boston)
14. Utah - Shabazz Muhammad - UCLA (Traded to Minnesota for Trey Burke)
15. Milwaukee - Giannis Antetokounmpo - Greece
16. Boston - Lucas Noqueira - Brazil
17. Atlanta - Dennis Schroeder - Germany
18. Atlanta - Shane Larkin - Miami
19. Cleveland - Sergy Karasey - Russia
20. Chicago - Tony Snell - New Mexico
21. Utah - Gorgui Dieng - Louisville (Trade)
22. Brooklyn - Mason Plumlee - Duke
23. Indiana - Solomon Hill - Arizona
24. New York - Tim Hardaway Jr - Michigan
25. L.A. Clippers - Reggie Bullock - UNC
26. TIMBERWOLVES - Andre Roberson - Colorado (Trade
27. Denver - Rudy Gobert - France
28. San Antonio - Livio Jean-Charles - France
29. Oklahoma City - Archie Goodwin - Kentucky (Trade
30. Phoenix - Nemanja Nedovic - Serbia (Trade
Wolves project their first pick (9) will be made around 7:15.
Sources tell Yahoo Sports that Oklahoma tried to trade for the number one overall pick with Cleveland but have failed.
David Stern steps to the podium for the final time as commissioner of the NBA.
Well, that didn't take long to get a surprise. Cleveland takes Anthony Bennett (UNLV). Leading up to the draft Bennett's name did not come up as the number one pick in the draft.
- Bennett is the highest drafted Canadian in NBA history.
Orlando takes Victor Oladipo with the second pick overall. Oladipo is the best defender in this years draft and the Wolves coveted him coming into the draft.
Washington selected Otto Porter Jr, a forward out of Georgetown. A versatile defender, Porter can guard different spots on the floor.
With Noel sliding, do the Wolves jump up and does that change the mindset of signing Pekovic?
Surprises and slides continue. Cody Zeller drafted fourth by Charlotte.
Noel slide stops at 6 when he is selected by New Orleans and will play with fellow former Kentucky Wildcat Anthony Davis.
KCP sniped a pick in front of Wolves. Trey Burke will be the pick.
Fans are applauding the pick, but in my opinion, there is zero chance Burke puts on a Wolves uniform. We'll see how the night turns out, but a trade is most likely in the works. Burke is the best point guard in the draft.
Several sources saying Burke is headed to Utah for the 14th and 21st picks.
Wolves spin 14th pick into Shabazz Muhammad from UCLA. Not exactly the selection I was hoping for. Muhammad has offensive upside, but plays zero defense and looked disinterested in this years NCAA tournament game against the Gophers.
The Wolves used the 21st pick to select Louisville's Gorgui Dieng an defensive shot blocker, something the team needs.
Originally slated to pick 26th, the Wolves traded that pick to Oklahoma City.
The draft played out about as poorly as it could have for the Wolves. Kentavious Caldwell-Pope and Ben McLemore were selected with the 7th and 8th picks, leaving the team to pass on C.J. McCollum and select point guard Trey Burke.
Everyone in Target Center knew that Burke would never put on a Timberwolves uniform and the hope was for a Marbury for Ray Allen type swap. In a draft that was not deep, the Wolves traded Burke to Utah for 14 and 21. The speculation was that Kelly Olynyk would have been the pick at 14, but Boston traded with Dallas to snipe the Gonzaga Bulldog.
That left Muhammad.
Shabazz Muhammad reminds me a ton of Michael Beasley. No interest in playing any defense. His offensive game has potential, but will he see the floor for meaningful minutes under Rick Adelman.
I do like the Dieng pick at 21. The 6-11 center from Louisville gives the Wolves an inside presence defensively that they lack. Nikola Pekovic is a physical center, but he is not a shot blocker.
With their second round picks, the Wolves selected point guard Lorenzo Brown witn the 52nd pick and Bojan Dubljevic, a 6-10 small forward from Serbia.

What are the challenges that gifted and creative individuals face at present?
Hi everyone! I am working on a research about the gifted and creative individuals. I'd like to know what are the challenges that the gifted and creative people experience in your country. Share your thoughts please :) Thanks!
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
Mar 16 2013: As a society we say that we celebrate the gifted and the creative. As an artist and someone who works with children who have learning disabilities, autism, and ADHD I can tell you this is not true. It is not until you have reached some level of success that society finds you acceptable and praise worthy. If you are a child that does not fit into the cookie cutter mentality you are not nurtured. They (the normals) talk about you discussing your oddities using it as a source of amusement and wonder.
As a society we need to stop trying to stamp out cookie cutter children and let them reach the potential they were born to reach. Who cares if every child can do geometry or write a 5 paragraph essay? That ADHD kid might be the next Xgame athlete. That autistic child might stamp out cancer or figure out the God particle. That ADD kid might be slow because they are thinking of the next philosophical revolution. That artistic child that does not want to follow the rubric in art class might be the next Picasso.
Until we stop trying to fit every child to the same mold we will stifle the light of many that have been born to lead us into the next creative evolution.

Embarking - no problems here. The cruise line gave us the time to embark between 12 and 2. We arrived at 11:30 and used the valet services. It seemed that the cruise parking was a slight walk. The cost for valet was $85 and seemed reasonable for 5 nights. Like others noted, the process of getting on the ship was quick. Tampa seems to know how to handle the crowds.
Public areas - realizing the age of the ship, the public areas were well kept. You could tell there were items that had been painted over many times. I was surprised that many of the exterior windows were not kept clean. Even in the stateroom' it was difficult to see out. Not sure if they are able to keep clean because of ocean spray.
Excursions - we did not sign up for an excursion in Grand cayman, but there seemed to be several independent vendors offering discount options. We just wanted to go to 7 mile beach and found the $5 taxis reasonable. Caution - they usually wait to to be full before leaving, so you might have to wait a little.
In Cozumel, we took the VIP shopping excursion. Overall it was interesting to see the whole island, we saw the museum that had miniatures of the ruins. Nothing too great. The other problem with this excursion is that we did not have sufficient time to investigate downtown.
The best excursion was the behind the scenes of the ship on e last day. We signed up early and it sold out on the first day. You get to see all the workings of the ship. They do not let you take any cameras, but well worth the $55 per person.
Staff- they all seemed very friendly. The cruise director, Stephanie, was not out and about as I have seen with other ships. It could have been that I just missed seeing her much. Additionally, the assistant cruise director, JT, was a little creepy. It seemed a little awkward when he ran events.
The shows were surprisingly good. Typically they are cheesy, but the crew had a good song and dance team.
Disbarking - we took the self check out option. Even though we had several bags, we were able to get off the ship within about 15 minutes

Holiday Wrap-Up: Department Store Winners & Losers
John is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
I'd like to open this piece by wishing readers a healthy and prosperous New Year.
With the holiday season now in the rear-view mirror, investors will turn their attention to upcoming sales releases for a multitude of retailers. Based on initial data points, it appears that forecasters have been overly optimistic regarding the potential for a material increase in December same-store sales.
Morgan Stanley indicates that holiday mall foot traffic slowed in the fourth week of December 2012, coming off a third week that already showed deceleration from the prior year. Furthermore, MasterCard is indicating that total payments increased a mere 0.7 percent in the two months leading up to Christmas compared to 2011.
Despite these negative indicators, the National Retail Federation is sticking by its original forecast of a 4.1 percent sales increase for 2012. My gut tells me MasterCard is correct with a cautious prediction, because its calculation is based on aggregate data. Even with a lukewarm holiday season as a whole, consumers will manage to choose winners and losers with their marginal purchases. Here are my predictions for the following department stores with upcoming January results.
Macy's (NYSE: M)
The Cincinnati, Ohio based retailer has been enjoying a breakout year, despite visible weakness from one-time competitors such as JCPenney. Chief Executive Terry Lundgren, who became President in 1997 and CEO in 2003, has received glowing write-ups from Business Journals and Barron's in recent weeks based on his strong operating execution. Macy's has continued to innovate in a dynamic retail environment, introducing new brands within its stores to target the millennial generation (13–34 age group) this holiday season. Its merchandising teams have announced exclusive lines such as the Marilyn Monroe fashion collection for women and Fatal Clothing tattoo-influenced designs for men. The department store chain has also been testing Toys 'R' Us Express-branded outlets within select locations from mid-October through mid-January.
Macy's remains a Wall Street favorite within the retail sector, although estimates have been reduced in recent weeks based on negative trends. If expectations prove to be too high when December sales results are announced, I would use any weakness in the shares as a buying opportunity for long-term investment.
Macy's stated during their third quarter conference call on Nov. 7 that the company would discontinue reporting monthly sales figures in fiscal year 2013. The current fiscal year ends on January 26, 2013, indicating management will provide a final report in early February.
Target (NYSE: TGT)
Holiday expectations for the Minneapolis, Minnesota headquartered mass merchandiser appear to be low, as shares have declined approximately 7% since December 3. Pessimism began to increase in late November when sales results for Target came in lower than expectations following Black Friday.
Management at Target also entered into a fashion deal with Nieman Marcus in advance of this year's holiday season, and recent indicators all but confirm the partnership is turning sour. The companies planned to boost fourth quarter sales by selling an original collection of clothing and household accessories within stores. However, Target marked down prices on its luxury collections by up to 50 percent during the week of December 24, leading investors to believe that the retail giant will report a disappointing holiday sales figure in coming weeks.
Wal-Mart Stores (NYSE: WMT)
Management stated in early December that the impending fiscal cliff has been negatively affecting consumer shopping behavior. CEO Mike Duke informed reporters that his customer base is not only aware of the cliff, but began curbing their spending based on the uncertainty. Shares of the world's largest retailer have retreated from an all-time high of $77 reached in mid-October and currently exchange hands 10% lower at $70. In other news, Wal-Mart is rumored to be one of multiple bidders for the bankrupt Hostess brand.
Kohl's (NYSE: KSS)
Shares of Kohl's gapped lower by more than 10 percent on Nov. 29, after the department store reported less-than-stellar sales figures for the month of November. Total sales declined a massive 4.9 percent for the four week period ending Nov. 24.
The November disappointment caused Wall Street analysts to subsequently lower their fourth quarter and 2013 fiscal year estimates. Kohl's is scheduled to release December sales results on Jan. 3. Even if holiday sales make a rebound, I would use any strength in Kohl's stock as a selling opportunity, as it will take multiple quarters of financial results to restore investor confidence.
Finally, I would advise readers to avoid J.C. Penney (NYSE: JCP), which is running out of time for its transformational retail strategy to take hold. The company announced in mid-December it is hiring former Abercrombie and Fitch executive Brandon Tonniges to assist in the layout and design of its new retail stores. JCPenney also engaged in extensive promotional activity leading up to the holiday season, which will likely impact its gross margin.
During November, rating agency Moody's downgraded the credit outlook for J.C. Penney, citing a need to clear excess inventory. J.C. Penney also suffered a loss with the resignation of a key executive vice president within its product development team. EVP Ken Mangone originally joined J.C. Penney in 1977, and the timing of the abrupt departure should cause concern.
In conclusion, investors will need to navigate a mixed retail environment on a case-by-case basis in coming weeks. Overall, I would be a net buyer of Macy's and Wal-Mart stores, and advise readers to stay clear of J.C. Penney. I am neutral on Kohl's and Target.

definitely won't drop to 11. i think in a few years, he will be seen as a steal at 6. i would not be shocked if he averaged close to 20 ppg his rookie year. and he plays hard tough D and seems to want to win real bad. i think, coming from weber st, portland would be a perfect fit and he wants to be here. that's one of things i really like about him, his enthusiasm to be a blazer.
i do think, though, that we should consider using our 11th pick and trading up for the 5th or 7th pick. there will still be a top tier guy (beal, barnes, or drummond) left over with lillard's ascension in the draft. it would be great to grab two future allstars in this draft. then we will be really serious about contending with OKC, not just making the playoffs.

I would not trade two players with talent and our pick just for one pick in the draft. Jamal Crawford still has a lot of value and Elliot is an up and coming star in my opinion. He was on fire right before he got injured, I agree I'd like to see ewill alongside Lillard!

this is just an old tired recycled argument that lillard can't play because he comes from weber st. try watching him play. explosivness, pure shooting, defensive effort, will to win are all features of his game whether he plays at weber st or duke. and if you really must judge him on his competition, think of it this way. weber st's opponents focused solely on stopping him. he didn't really have much support to draw the defense's attention elsewhere. almost like he was playing 1 on 5. i think it would be a mistake to not draft him because he played at weber st. that would be a really dumb reason to overlook his actual talent.
Posted 06/20/2012 4:57 PM
Posted By Blazer247 on 06/20/2012 3:27 PM
Both sides of this argument are attacking each other as much for their VOCABULARY as the actual context of the argument.
Everyone: Accept immediately that neither Damian Lillard nor Andre Drummond is going to enter the NBA as the polished, alert, ready piece that we would need them to be for our team. Either one will take work and will need to evolve their game before they can really be evaluated as a good or a bad pick. So while you are entitled to your opinions on where the draftees currently stand, it is downright silly for anyone to think that they've deciphered all the information out there, and have a reliable answer as to which one will be stand-alone better for Portland.
So if you can't give a reliable answer, why is this entire discussion about something that can't be proven or even supported unanimously? If you want to draft Drummond, then explain what else we do to fill in our other gaps. If you want to draft Lillard, then who will be available for us on the other end and how do we get them? Seems like that would be a much more interesting discussion than accusing fellow Blazer fans of hating players and not knowing what they're talking about...

Boomtown your analysis is very keen but there are also some issues with it, the first being on defense watching numerous clips and games of his I noticed his effort declined but I believe that was he was facing double and triple teams on offense each time down the court, which I am sure can be exhausting. While you mentioned Kendall Marshall and Machado I think it is important to note that Lillard is a better defender than either Marshall or Machado at this point and is athletic enough to improve at the next level.
I also believe you are correct that skilled big are harder to acquire than PG's. I will admit that Drummond has a very high ceiling but his lack of defensive rebounding, free throw shooting, and post scoring was very problematic. Those are huge red flags to me.

@Boomtown, I had started a thread on exactly that, before I'd looked at this one. Funny thing, how multiple posts are talking about the same priority issue concerning the Blazers, from slightly different perspectives!
It's frustrating that you copy my whole post but respond to a fraction of it... like I said above in the first sentence that you copied, as well as my next post, I have no problem with discussing Lillard, I want to discuss him too and what he could possibly do for the Blazers... but there are much better ways to do that than what was happening above my comment. Simplified posts like "We need Lillard he's the next superstar" vs "Lillard's games in college weren't tough enough" really don't get to the meat of it, and Blazer fans are supposed to have a reputation for more intelligent debate. The name of the thread doesn't stop us from having stronger, more analytical posts, does it?
It'd also be nice of you to note that after my posts, every single comment til now (except yours where you told me to talk about Lillard vs Drummond somewhere else?) has had considerably more substance to it, and a bit less extreme of angles on the viewpoints expressed. In fact I really liked your first one, weighing his pros and cons. Much more helpful than the next! Everyone managed to get more in depth with their responses, and the conversation improved. Whaddya know.

Escoda's Bravo light ox handcrafted brush has a stiffer hair than fitch or polecat and is favored by oil painters an as alternative to bristle.
Escoda specially cures each brush for increased resiliency and versatility, making it a pleasure to use.
The long red lacquered handle gives plenty of control and is attached to the nickel ferrule with Escoda's exclusive triple crimping process.
Note — Brush sizes are not standardized. The length and width of a brush of a given shape and size varies considerably by manufacturer. Since fine art brushes are handmade, expect some variation even among brushes from a given manufacturer.

Re: Florida Advertising and Services Tax Threat Update
As you are aware, Senate President John McKay's proposal to sunset many exemptions to the state sales tax continues to be the subject of much debate and attention in Tallahassee and throughout Florida. It has passed out of the Senate Finance and Tax Committee, and may be voted on by the full Senate later this week.
McKay has made some modifications to his proposal in an effort to generate greater support. He has offered to maintain the exemptions for many services, including broadcast and print advertising. More recently, advertising agency services were added to the list of exempted services. The proposal would now lower the sales tax rate from 6 percent to 4.5 percent, instead of to 4 percent as originally introduced. Most tourism related services would remain at 6 percent.
It is important to understand that the legislature is actually considering two pieces of legislation. The first is McKay's bill to put on next fall's ballot a constitutional amendment eliminating all sales tax exemptions. This remains essentially unchanged from his original proposal.
The second is an "implementing bill" introduced by Senator Ken Pruitt. This is the legislation that would maintain the exemptions for selected services. However, passage of this bill is not necessary for the constitutional amendment to be enacted.
AAF and the advertising industry remain opposed to the McKay plan. Even if both the constitutional amendment and implementing bill pass as they currently exist — which is by no means guaranteed — we believe the tax would still be harmful to small businesses in the state.
Jack Hebert, District 4 legislative chair, is in Tallahassee meeting with legislators and representing the industry. However, he cannot do it all on his own. I urge you to contact your representatives and let them know you are still opposed to the McKay services tax.
