Happy Friday,
I just finished legs (minus floor). It was harder for me today than last week. I did up the weights on the standing portion. Also, when I do the barre, I am usually short a few reps. Lastly, when we are on the ball and our butts are suppose to be in the air, mine is only about 2 inches off the ground.
I like the rear delt workout, ecxept the fact that the exercises are done one arm at a time. It seems like torture to me to do everything 6 times. Nothing like a littel bit of complaining.
Katie, I am now dreading supercuts when the time comes. Should I have a bucket ready?
Has anyone done any of the premixes on all out low impact? I woner if I will be tired of this disc since it is used so many times the same way.
Hope you all have a good Friday!
"If it weren't for the last minute, nothing would get done."
Katied, I agree, you deserved some pizza and a brownie. Years ago my ex hubby and I got into an accident due to a patch of black ice. I'll spare you all the details, but we almost went off an embankment, so we were really shaken up. We could drive our car home, so after we were done with the officers and could head back home, our first stop was the grocery store where we got a box of chocolates and a bottle of champagne. Who cared that it was 10 in the morning! We figured we had something to celebrate.
Enjoy your very talented children this weekend and be kind to yourself as you get back in your groove. I'm sending Henri some healing vibes.
I did my first Ultimate Yogi disc today and it was so wonderful. I feel great.
I'm not sure if I should keep checking in on this thread because I'm about to go off the reservation for a while. Maybe I'll just pipe in if I add in an Xtrain workout, which I am sure I will here and there.
Melissa, I have done the All Out Low Impact Extreme premix and I liked it. It repeats the first section. It was a good calorie scorcher. The second time I did Extreme, I did it manually and decided to repeat the second section with the step. I did *not* repeat the third section, but that would definitely be a toughie, and worth a try.

Ill miss hearing u on here! I hope u peek in
That was a good idea to have chocolate! Lol i def would have as well.
So was UY hard? Can u describe what its actualy like? I have the foundations and i like them cause i do it like today after bi n tris because its short and it helps me relax.
Hi i have to modify alot. When im doing ball rolls i FEEL like my hips are up high but when i see in mirror it isnt lol. And im ok with that for now because before i couldnt even do one lol. Also i do double leg not single i tried but it is so hard. I figure it helps me to not get tired of it if i have a goal. Also on aolih . I only use one riser and i dont need two. Im so fine with thst i want to grow with the dvd and i tell ya i have lots of growth.
Today is bi n tris burn sets and ill do yoga i may do combat kickstart not sure yet.
Good day all!
I am so glad to hear you say this about your leg routine. I am writing down how many less of each rep I do an hope I improve. I hope I can get thru all out low impact tomorrow with my jello legs. Also, being that tomorrow is Saturday, I have to motivate myself to workout.
"If it weren't for the last minute, nothing would get done."
Bis n tris done! I tried les mils combat kickstart im not counting that as calorie burn cause i basicaly dont know the moves to good to get a sweat going.. In time i supose.
Thats a good idea to write down the reps mellissa. I have to stop a couple times lol. Butwe will get there! Thats what it is about anyhow , improving and man i hope i improve! We wil see. Tomorrow is kickstart.
hi everyone! home from a great concert and just about ready for bed. henri is still looking sad and quiet may be headed to vet tomorrow before our big storm hits on saturday night. i am so, so ready for spring!
melissa-- supercuts is great! no, it was the driving that i needed a bucket for that felt some better today, though. i even ended up having to pass the accident site on my way home from picking up my oldest. i think i will keep getting better everyday, though i do have to say i am driving super cautiously and slow now.
eva-- your accident sounds super scary! what a great idea you guys had! i hope that you stick around on here, even if you aren't xtraining, as i like reading your posts and hearing what's going on with you
renee-- great job on the workouts! i am sure you will have your new ones down in no time!
happy saturday! where is everybody? hope you are enjoying your weekends.
rest day for me today, which is a good thing. i am *so sore* today! don't know what that is about? did supercuts yesterday plus core 2 and 100 reps of lateral raises and scarecrows. today my butt, hamstrings and shoulders feel fried-- and supercuts is pretty light weights (except for the tubing exercises which are killer to me!) oh well. i will take DOMS when i get it! anyway, legs are on tap for tomorrow which i always dread, but i am seeing results there so i will take it.
we are going to a puppet show tonight at a local theater-- the heart of the beast-- and the kids are playing music beforehand. i am hoping that our bad weather waits to get here until after we get back home again.
vicky-- hope you are safe! and that you have power! saw the news on my phone and it looks pretty scary out east!
be well everybody,
I did day 2 of Ultimate Yogi a few minutes ago and it was good. This is the cardio workout. I did manage to get my heart rate into my training zone so I was happy, it was a cardio workout as far as yoga is concerned. There is a nice ab add-on to this series which I did today and it was tough. A lot of held poses like boat pose, which is always really hard on my back so we'll see how those go. That had about 300 crunches total and took 15 minutes, so it was a pretty thorough ab workout. Tomorrow I may do tabatacise or supercuts and yoga. I'm already starting to freak out about not burning enough calories.
Katied, I'm glad you guys had a good time at the concert last night, and how cool they have a performance tonight pre-puppet show. Both of those sound like a lot of fun. I hope you don't have to drive to either one of those. I'm sorry Henri is still not very perky. Maybe if you take him to the vet you'll at least have more peace of mind because you'll know what's going on with him. It's always a super bummer when animals are unwell because it's also a mystery, unless there are obvious circumstances around their behavior.
Renee, good work on bis and tris and Les Mills. I think you'll like those once you get the hang of them. Do you like the music in the ones you've seen so far?
Ok, I'm off to get my day started, I have a ton to do today.
Stay safe and warm to all of you folks in wintry places. It's cold and windy here in Virginia today, but no snow. I wouldn't mind being snowed in, but I *do* hate shoveling.
Take care,
STS 3.5 month graduate - 12-16-12
Happy Saturday Everyone,
Just finished all out low impact and added burn sets chest.
Katie, the puppet show sounds like fun! sorry if you posted this before, what instruments do your kids play? I hate to bring it up, but maybe you are sore from the car accident.
Eva, I have tried yoga (only on dvd) and don't seem to get it I guess. Also, some of the moves are hard for me because my right shoulder is bad. Maybe if I went to an actual class I would see what I am doing wrong.
Renee, Do you get doms from bis and tris? I haven't, however, I really feel my triceps from the armpit down! At least they feel like I have great looking muscles!
"If it weren't for the last minute, nothing would get done."
Today is HS i have family in from Georgia my DIL and oldest step son. so kinda hanging with them before i get my workout in but i will get it in. Its only 34 minutes so ill probly do it when tbey are busy doing skmeyhing lol.
Mellissa it was burn sets bis n tris and yes i got DOMS but not bad.... The first time i did it i had it bad then nothing the second and third time so i upped my weights yesterday and i do have soreness but not too bad. I am glad to get some soreness.
Eva yes i love the music on there, but when i use the dvds i have to do it with the music low option to hear instruction and then u cant hear the music but i then did it with music loud option, i loved that the music was great! And pimps up up however i couldnt hear them! So i was kinda lost so what im going to have do unfortunately is try to do the workout with just the music low till i learn it. Im glad im doing xtrain too because cambat isnt making me sweat yet because i dont know the moves but i can see once i learn it i should be able to sweat!

Exploratorium to Offer Teacher Professional Development Courses Online Via Coursera
Teacher Learning Resources to be Made Available to Anyone in the World For Free
The Exploratorium has partnered with Coursera, a leading Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) provider to offer professional development courses for teachers all over the world, free of cost. The Exploratorium will be offering online courses to support teachers' integration of the Exploratorium's unique inquiry-based, hands-on approach to learning into the classroom.
The Exploratorium is one of the first three museums to offer teacher professional development courses via Coursera's online platform. Two initial courses will be offered, with room for development of additional materials in the future:
Tinkering Fundamentals: Integrating Making Activities into Your STEM Classroom will be taught jointly by Exploratorium staff members Mike Petrich, Karen Wilkinson, Dr. Luigi Anzivino and Dr. Bronwyn Bevan, and is designed for K-12 science and math teachers. The course will draw on research-based design principles to build teachers' vision, interest, and capacity to introduce tinkering activities into the classroom.
Integrating Engineering Into Your Science Classroom will be taught by Exploratorium staff members Dr. Linda Shore, Eric Muller, Dr. Julie Yu and Dr. Paul Doherty, and is designed for middle and high school science teachers. This course will support the engineering practices outlined in the Next Generation Science Standards.
"The Exploratorium has long been committed to providing ongoing educational opportunities for teachers," said Exploratorium Associate Director of Program Bronwyn Bevan. "Museums play a crucial role in supporting teachers with both content and pedagogy, and through this partnership with Coursera we hope to expand our impact to work with more teachers than ever before possible. Today we are honored to contribute to creating a hub of resources and a support network for the people who hold the great responsibility of educating the next generation."
This partnership with Coursera is the latest of several long-standing, highly regarded professional development programs from the Exploratorium, including the Teacher Institute, which supports secondary science and math teachers; the Institute for Inquiry, which offers workshops about the theory and practice of inquiry-based teaching and learning; the Exploratorium Network for Exhibit-Based Teaching (ExNET), which shares Exploratorium exhibits and teaching practices with other science institutions; and The California Tinkering Network, which provides professional development to informal educators working in afterschool programs that serve children from underserved communities.
"We are constantly tinkering with new ways to expand our impact and reach those who stand to benefit the most," added Exploratorium Associate Executive Director Rob Semper. "Our professional development programs for teachers have had a profound impact on thousands of science classrooms in every state. To put that impact in perspective, 90% of beginning science teachers who graduated from the Exploratorium's two-year mentoring program are still teaching science after 5 years, compared to a national average teacher retention rate of 50%. The potential to raise this impact to new heights by bringing our teaching methods online is remarkable."

A judge ruled in favor of a mistrial Tuesday morning in the case against Richard McTear, the man accused of killing a 3-month-old baby by throwing him out of a moving car.
It is a major blow to attorneys, who spent a week to seat a jury because of the case's high profile. On Monday, it was comments by McTear's ex-girlfriend that threw the whole trial in jeopardy.
Opening statements wrapped up, with the prosecution painting McTear as a cold-blooded killer who was jealous over his ex-girlfriend's relationship with another man. The defense told the jury, however, there was no physical evidence that McTear had anything to do with his baby's death.
He's accused of throwing Emanuel Murray out of a window on I-275.
But on Monday afternoon, the baby's mother, Jasmine Bedwell, took the stand and said McTear had threatened to shoot the infant. She also mentioned things about a phone call that the jury was never supposed to hear.
"Mr. McTear had two separate cases he had been charged in, one occurred in March, the death of this baby occurred in May," Julie Holt of the public defender's office explained. "The statements that Ms. Bedwell introduced for the May trial, which was yesterday, occurred in March. Mr. McTear was found not guilty by a jury of his peers, and therefore, those statements were not relevant – and not properly admissible in this particular case."
The jurors were sent home, and Judge William Fuente agreed.
He returned to court Tuesday morning, deliberated on his own for about 30 minutes, and then came back to let the court know he "reluctantly" was declaring a mistrial.
FOX 13's Gloria Gomez reports attorneys will meet again in September to try and figure out a new trial date. After that, the court will start again at square one.

I recently went to a southern gospel event and the singer was speaking about the blessings of our freedom in America and how slowly some liberties are being taken. It had me thinking about how much is our fault. It reminded me of the garden of Eden and how we have followed that pattern.
God blessed Adam and Eve beyond all measure with everything they needed and then some. God did that to many Americans. He did, however, give them a boundary. He told them not to eat from the forbidden tree. God's word gives us boundaries. However, the snake, tempted Eve and said "Did God really say that?" Eve didn't just quote God's word spoken to them directly, she questioned the bounary. She gave the snake his way. She disobeyed God and didn't reverence Him. Eve led Adam, her leader, astray. So, the blessings left.
God gave us a clear boundary. God blessed us for following it. However, we have let the devil lead us astray from it and say things like "God didn't really say that" and "this must be an exception" or "I think it is this way" and it has gotten us in trouble. The respect for God and His name are going down. The leaders have gone astray. So, our blessings left. If we abuse our freedom, it will be taken. If we are not humble, God will let us go to waste. However, he did give us a promise. 2 Chronicles 7:14 tells us "If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land." We need to humble ourselves and seek the face of God in His name, Jesus. We need to pray for our people to turn back to God. We need to pray for our leadership. Whining about our leaders is not nearly as effective as praying for them. If we keep taking advantage of our freedom, then it will leave and the fighting of our troops will be in vain.

In recent years, fun has become cheaper as the prices paid by consumers for toys and sporting goods have dropped.
Sporting goods prices have fallen for five years in a row, from 1995 to 1999. The latest drop was the largest of the five at 3.0 percent. Prices for sporting goods were 4.5 percent lower in 1999 than five years earlier.
Toy prices have declined for three years in a row—by 1.6 percent in 1997, 6.1 percent in 1998, and 8.0 percent in 1999. Toy prices in 1999 were 15 percent below their level of three years earlier.
These data are produced by the BLS Consumer Price Index program. More information on consumer price changes can be found in "Core consumer prices in 1999: low by historical standards," by Todd Wilson, Monthly Labor Review, April 2000. Annual percent changes are December-to-December changes.

Don't you want your engine to have more torque? Dramatically increase torque for a relatively low cost by installing a Transdapt EFI or MPFI Aluminum Throttle Body Spacer. This spacer effectively increases air intake volume and velocity and prepares the intake air for passing by the throttle blade which results in much better combustion efficiency. This amazing and simple part bumps torque dramatically while also increasing fuel efficiency thanks to improved combustion. Transdapt started in 1959 when founder Willie Garner created transmission adapters to be able to bring together engines and transmissions that were not made to work with each other in order to build the best performing custom cars. Through the years, Transdapt expanded and added carburetor adapters, engine swap kits and then a full line of chrome dress-up parts to add more style to your daily driver or your show car.

Matt McConnell…the Atlanta Thrashers' original TV play-by-play man has, in his own words, quite the whirlwind journey in life so far…but his travels have brought him back to Thrasherville for his second tour of duty for the team and he's loving every minute of it.
McConnell was born in Gary, Indiana and his father worked for a steel company…a job that would eventually move the family around quite a bit. He lived in Indiana for the first 12 years of his life and that's where he became a fan of hockey…a big Chicago Blackhawks fan, he told me.
"I remember one night when I was about 4 or 5 years old", McConnell recalled, "My dad turned on a Blackhawks' game on WGN and I just kinda started watching it…and just really seemed to enjoy it".
Then his dad came home with some tickets and he soon got his first taste of live hockey action. "That became something we did ten times a year", Matt recalled. "We'd go to Blackhawks games… those Sunday night games. I grew up loving the game and following guys like Bobby Hull, Stan Makita and Tony Esposito. They were all my heroes".
In 1975, just before Matt went into the seventh grade, his dad was transferred to northern Minnesota…a town called Virginia. "John Harrington, who played on the U.S. 1980 Olympic team was from that area", McConnell remembers…and that's where he began playing bantam hockey himself.
"Basically, I got my butt kicked", he told me with a laugh. "And I realized it probably wasn't going to be anything that was going to take me very far".
In McConnell's tenth grade year, his dad's job took him to Pittsburgh where they lived between '78 and '81…and naturally, he began to follow the Penguins.
After high school, McConnell was off to Michigan State where he got his first taste of broadcasting. "I started out as an accounting finance major but quickly telecommunications with an emphasis in economics. I also began working with the campus radio station…and they had a really good hockey team at the time, always went to the tournament. In my senior year they were upset by Provenance, which was a monumental upset…but they had some really good teams up there and that's when I began broadcasting".
After college he did some play-by-play work in the International Hockey League for a few years… "Making about $250 per week in Flint, Michigan in 1985", he remembers. "The team almost folded mid-season, then went to Peoria for a couple of years. And then my big break came in 1993 when I got hired by the Ducks in Anaheim…so I was the first guy to do Ducks games".
Given that he was there to see the startup of both the Ducks and Thrashers organizations, I asked him to discuss the similarities between the two.
"I think there are a lot of similarities…I think you always try to build through draft picks. But the fun part about starting up with a franchise is the buzz, you know…the initial buzz with everyone so excited about the team being there and they have the franchise in place. In Anaheim we won, I wanna say, nineteen road games and were in the playoff race the first year right until the final weekend when Winnipeg won a couple of games to take the final playoff spot. So that was a lot of fun".
Continuing, he added, "I think when it's an expansion team… everybody's new, everybody's kind of coming together as a family. We had a really good group out there…and I think Atlanta was the same in a lot of ways…you know, non-traditional hockey market, so I was used to how all of that unfolds".
"There was an incredible buzz here those first few years [here in Atlanta]…and the team wasn't very good back then. But now we're fighting for a playoff spot".
After about three years in Anaheim, McConnell returned to Pittsburgh where he did some TV work between 1996 and '99. "Working with the Penguins was fun…I got a chance to call games with Mario Lemieux, Jaromir Jagr and Ron Francis".
He then came to Atlanta for their inaugural season in 1999. After the 2002-'03 season, though, it was off to Minnesota for one year before returning to Atlanta. Once back, he did some freelance work for college sports television, doing college hockey, basketball and lacrosse.
He also hosted Thrashers Live for two seasons…2006-07 as well as 2007-08.
"It's been a whirlwind, for sure…and I've truly been blessed to have worked for some very good people, "he said while nudging Darren Eliot to his right. "This guy is one of the handful of people who can really break down the game analytically and not just regurgitate replays".
"It's been a lot of fun and I hope it can continue for many more years".
Regarding this current edition of the Thrashers and their chances of making the playoffs, McConnell told me he likes what he sees for the most part… but there is that issue of playing the full 60 minutes. Sure, they don't get blown out of the barn, but the slow starts are somewhat of a concern.
"The fact of the matter is that we are in the middle of a playoff race. They are fun to watch…very talented. Ya know…you see flashes of what this team can be. They go into Philadelphia and get down 3-1, come back to win it. But I think since day one, it's really been a matter of consistency…when are we gonna see a run of consistency over the course of a number of games? …I think that's the next hurdle and I think that they're really close".
"We're going to have this incredible spring in March with all of these home games…there is so much parity right now, it's one or two games [separating several playoff contending teams]…so it's exciting from that standpoint".
"The thing that I've taken away from this team just being around them is that they don't seem to let a lot of things bother them. I think the chemistry this year has been as good as I've seen. They seem to genuinely have a good time, they seem to genuinely want to play for one another. And I think with those attributes I'm pretty bullish that they're gonna stick around and make a serious run for a playoff spot".
Regarding his comments about things not bothering them…I asked if that was true during the recent drama surrounding the Kovalchuk trade situation as it unfolded.
"If it did bother them", he responded, "Then they did a pretty good job of keeping it behind closed door. I thought John Anderson had a great quote when said that if Don and Jay had done a good job of keeping the negotiations in the board room and not letting it effect that team".
When I asked Matt what were the best things about his job, he again directed my attention to the man he shares a broadcast booth with. "When I was down here for the first tour of duty, we lived closer together and so we would drive in together, carpool to the airport and we'd have long talks about the team and about the shows and I think that really helped us initially get to know each other".
"But he's as easy going as you'll find…and I don't know what it is, why we don't always step on each other, but for some reason it just flows".
"Besides working with Darren…who teaches me something new every day…what I like is just being around the game. Ya know, I found out in bantam hockey that I never had the ability to play professionally like these guys do, so I like being around the game and I have fun calling the games".
Matt went on to add, "What else makes it fun is all of the stories. Not just from the present-day players but being around a group of guys [that date back over the past]. When I was working in Peoria, we had a game in Salt Lake and our coach was Rick Mohar, the All-American at B.U…and he told me, 'Hey, I'm going out with a bunch of guys from the 1980 team that are in town'. He was a good friend with Mike Eruzione…and he asks me if I wanna go and I say 'sure'. So we walk across the street to this hotel and there's about eight or nine of them in this mini-reunion of the 1980 players. And as like to tell Darren, for the first time in my life I shut up for about two hours and just listened to the stories".
To which Darren interjected…"I only wish I could have been there to enjoy it".
McConnell also says he enjoys the travel that comes with his profession…getting to go to different cities and see different things. But overall, it's the entire hockey experience that he enjoys…being around the game and the players that make and have made it what it is.
Of course, the big question for anyone so close to the Thrashers is…what will it take for the Thrashers to make the playoffs and what are their chances of doing so?
"For me, I'm going to keep my eye on special teams", Matt said. "That's going to be key. And we've talked a lot about secondary scoring and how the emergence of a guy like Jim Slater…which I think is a big deal. But I really think that they've got what it takes…but I think they would be in a much better position if they came out and started dictating play more, especially on home ice with all the home games coming up".
Either way it unfolds, Matt McConnell will be there bringing us these all-important games the Thrashers will be in…and alongside him will be his partner Darren Eliot, who we'll hear from later in the week.

I'm glad this guy is doing the play-by-play…Delacamera was a pro, but you can tell McConnell has a passion for the game that just isn't there with J.P.

Good story, Bill!
February 23rd, 2010
11:53 pm
It's a nice item, Rawhide. And nice of Matt M. to make the time to do it. He's a good egg! I like to tease 'im because he uses the term "stretch pass" with a little too much enthusiasm, but really … he brings passion to the job. And unlike J.P. Dellacamera, he doesn't say the words "hockey stick." (What other kind of a stick could it be, I do wonder. But I digress.)
Folks, it's not an enviable job to cover a team that is perpetually in the bottom third of the Eastern Conference. But Matt McConnell, and Dan Kamal, and Darren Eliot, along with Natalie Taylor, do their best to make their respective broadcasts good ones.
If you're a hockey fan or a Thrasher fan who has given up on watching Thrasher telecasts or radio broadcasts, beeee honest. You didn't leave or quit your support of the team because of Matt McConnell. Or Darren Eliot. Or Natalie Taylor. Or Dan Kamal. These are the personalities trying to keep this boat afloat. Do I blame any of them? No.
They take their jobs seriously and try the best they can. Can we say the same of the ownership? No, we can't. And to blame it all on Waddell is all too easy. In his shoes, you'd milk the AS, LLC for every last nickel, too. It's not Waddell's job to point that he's a failing GM. And really, as employees of the AS, LLC, it's not Matt McConnell's job, nor Darren Eliot's, nor Natalie Taylor's, to point that out, either.
Nice job with this blog, Rawhide. I think Matt McConnell is really happy to have his position. And it's good to see, for an organization whose Tier I pending UFA players have HISTORICALLY given it a vote of "no confidence."

Oh well. David Kreji has won it, for the Czech Republic. It was a fairly benign-looking shot. What a shame, after such a wonderful performance from the Latvian goaltender.
Norway has just scored to cut Slovakia's lead to 2-1.

Our Announcers are every good and second to none, ever hear that guy in Buffalo or Washington ? they are awful
Derrin does excellent color and you can tell… he wishes he could say MORE.
But at least our guys in the booth are near the top of the NHL broadcasters and we should
be very thankful for that fact, one point for asg I guess !

LAC, don't gop picking on Rick Jenneret now!
Nice piece Bill-I think Matt is doing a very good job, I like JP a little better int he role. But Matt is better than alotta play-by-play men in the league. As LAC stated, you see how good our guys are when you flip around on Center Ice.
Eliot is one of the best color men in the league, that's my opinion.
Who is the worst? My vote is Pete Weber in Nashville. He wallowed on Buffalo radio for years, doing P-B-P and other misc. sports in Buffalo until he got bounced. Weber has the personalty of a wet shoe. How he has kept his job in Nashville since day one of that franchise I will never know.

Hey Bill, not to change subjects but…..
The NHL trade deadline is March 3rd, next Wednesday at 1500 hours.
Any news from Thrasherville on what they have up their sleeves?
We have a number of key UFAs-are they staying or going?
More importantly, are we buyers or sellers at the trade deadline?
I am surprised we don't have more team direction and trade skuttlebut by now.
The key UFA keepers are Kubina, Colby and Jimmy (can't believe I included Jimmy). Are they staying or going? Negotiation on new contracts? We can't have another Kovy situation, where the player controls the situation. You either want to be here or not. I think the word is commitment.
February 24th, 2010
8:47 am
I think Matt and Darren do a great job, but like any home team broadcaster, they definitely have a substantial pro-Thrashers perspective on plays in the game. I guess that's the job of the home broadcaster, but I prefer a more unbiased approach to the game.
I grew up watching Whalers and Bruins games…Rick Peckham (now in TB as TV color) is also a very good broadcaster. John Forslund, who did minor hockey in Springfield and now does the Canes' broadcasts (and some Versus TV) is very good. On the opposite side, Fred Cusick (RIP) and Derek Sanderson of the Bruins team was terrible…i don't even think "rose colored glasses" is a strong enough metaphor for how one-sided they called Bruins games.
Sorry World, but although I do love Rick J.' soccer-esque goal calls, he is extremely bias and never gives appreciation to an opponents play. The guys in Pittsburgh are bad too.
February 24th, 2010
8:50 am
So I was a Sports Management major in college and took a few sports pyschology classes. But I never thought of this until now…it would be fun to survey fans in different in NHL cities and compare that with the broadcasters' perspective on games. I bet you that the majority of fans mirror the perspective of their broadcasters. That's why Boston, Pittsburgh and Detroit fans think the hockey world revolves around them, and that's why Atlanta and Tampa Bay fans have hopeless enthusiasm that (someday) things will finally get beter:)
Interesting to think about.
February 24th, 2010
8:59 am
Masha-Rick J was better when he had Jim Lorenz as his partner. Jim would reel him in and offer a full game perspective of what was happening. His current partner, Harry Neal is barely awake during current Sabre games.
Speaking of the Bruins, I really think their current announcers, Jack Edwards and Andy Brickley do a great job. Fred Cusick was such a homer it was sickening. He was always offended when the old-style Bruins would get penalites, usually for mugging an opposing player. Peckham is first rate in TB, as he was in Hartford. Good call
February 24th, 2010
9:04 am
Bring back JP. Would prefer Kamal. Where the hell is Jiggs? And enough of the "drive by" references Matty.
February 24th, 2010
9:30 am
I liked JP too, but I know people who know JP (name dropper alert!), and he is a soccer guy first,and a full hockey schedule would have interfered with his soccer broadcast schedule.
February 24th, 2010
9:43 am
Hometown announcers better be biased towards their team! At least enough to say the ref missed an easy call or we got away with one there. Boo the bad guys and cheer on the good guys. If he doesn't share the hometown enthusiasm, why do it, and why listen to them? I personally would like to hear a little more of that from our guys. Jenneret is awesome, I love listening to him call the games. He has the fans and home team at heart and calls it that way, mirroring many of the same things the fans are saying or thinking about what is going on during the game. The excitement in his voice is great.
"lalalalalalafontaine!!!!" and
"he put it upstairs where mama hides the cookies"
are things every Sabres fan remembers hearing watching the games there

Bill-I have not heard the Thrashers on ANY rumor sites. They need to make a decision on Colby, or he needs to make a decision on what he wants to do. I did hear about Colby back to Pittsburgh a few weeks ago. I don't see this happening unless there's salary coming back this way.
February 24th, 2010
10:08 am
I am so ready for Trade-a-palooza! I even started a twitter account so I don't miss a tweet from Double D, Kevin A or Craig Custance. Man am I sick in the head!
As for Daren and Matty, they are a pretty good tag team. However, after having Matty for a full season, I do find myself more and more annoyed with some of his repetitive phrases like "drive-by" or "carom" and some of his exaggerated calls when he gets excited. But he knows his hockey and he offers a lot more than JP ever did.
I like JP's voice and his overall call, but his "play dumb" routine where he asked silly and naïve questions in the attempt to set up Eliot were so amateurish and silly. Daren doesn't need a set up man; he knows when to speak and what to speak about. Now if Matty could just work on expanding his lexicon of phrases like Emrick or Benninatti (sp?), he'll elevate his stock around TV broadcasting circles.
Bill – did you ask him why he moved around so much? I reckon the answer doesn't mesh with the positive piece you were intending, but perhaps there were extenuating circumstances.
February 24th, 2010
10:21 am
Good article, Rawhide. Very interesting. If you haven't done a piece on Kamal, that would also be an interesting read. Kamal can make an instant hockey fan out of you. His excitement level reminds me of the late Jim Fyffe of the Auburn network and Al Ciraldo and Wes Durham for Tech and the Falcons. Too bad WGST doesn't come in real well in Douglasville anytime after dark. Not always convenient to listen through the internet.
February 24th, 2010
10:25 am
Excellent read, thanks for this.
Matt is a good guy, but I guess I'm in the minority on this one, I just don't like him on the play-by-play.
February 24th, 2010
10:42 am
Smoothie-where you been? I knew this trade talk would bring you out.
February 24th, 2010
10:50 am
Rawhide, enjoyed your article very much. On Powerplay at 4 PM on NHL Network, Darren was the guest. He said that he believed that Waddell was looking to find a big winger to increase our size.
February 24th, 2010
11:20 am
Libby – Ponikarovsky is a "big" winger, ain't he?
Bill – I meant after he was all grown up. He moved around quite a bit when he could've just stayed put in Anaheim. Sounds like he had a pretty good gig there in Cali…don't quite understand why you would leave the Big C when you're in broadcasting and have a good job. But alas, perhaps the pull of the Minnesota was too great for such a hockey lover as Matty.
WBF – I've been lurking mostly lately because I don't have as much to say when it comes to the non-Thrashers chatter. However, I am armed and ready with plenty of blog fodder and I'm starting to ramp up my own blog again with some Olympic hockey material. Check it out if you're looking for more stuff to read. But I can promise you the material is going to shift back to a Thrashers focus very soon!
PS – Bill, I disagree with your view on trading Afinogenov. Just like Colby, it boils down to his desire to be here and help this team — you know, the one that helped put him back on the map! If he says "nyet", trade him as he would get a good return. Then flip some of that return for Ponikarovsky as he's a better fit in this system.
February 24th, 2010
11:25 am
My thoughts on Max-
Max better remember that NOBODY wanted to take a flier on him before the season, only the Thrashers gave him a chance at all! If he wants out, then let him go. Mark "61″ on the wall when he returns so everyone can take a run at him.
February 24th, 2010
11:50 am
As posted before, Max has been an October-November guy most of his career. If another team likes him and you can get another pick or a better player by tossing him in a deal, by all means do so.
Let me bring up Penner again, because Poni is going to be in high demand as a rental, and Penner is signed for a few years. Thrashers can't be in the player rental business or have we all forgotten the 2006-07 deadline debacle?
February 24th, 2010
11:56 am
Why would the price tag for Penner be lower if he has years left?
I know rentals are expensive, but we'd surely have to give up a pretty hefty return to get Penner, especially considering he's had a very good rebound year. Plus, his high cap number might screw up our budget and chances of bringing back Kubina. But if you don't think Kubes in the plans, then Penner might be a good idea (assuming Kulda is ready and Bogosian improves).
February 24th, 2010
12:28 pm
WBF- exactly, those were the things you remembered, and his excitement for calling the games. I understand some people down here might not like how fast he talks, I have slowed down quite a bit from when I first moved and people were always telling me to talk slower LOL
February 24th, 2010
12:29 pm
I listen to a lot of games on my XM radio and have watched TV broadcast from other cities…we have a top-notched crew here in Atlanta. All are total professionals and know the game. Trust me, I have heard some that are almost 'un-listenable'. The Devils have a female color person on their radio network. It's horrible. Nashville radio is a joke since Terry & Pete moved to TV. Carolina is awful, too.
February 24th, 2010
12:33 pm
Because Edmonton needs to dump salaries to create cap room. Thrashers have plenty of cap room to sign four Kubinas.
February 24th, 2010
12:36 pm
Thrasher trade rumors – see Fouth Period. Article about Slava primarily – he's also on the top 25 tradeable players.
February 24th, 2010
12:51 pm
Red Light – ha! Good one! Cap room and Budget room are entirely different things when it comes to ASG. I hope they spend about $52 M but would not be surprised if they stay right below $50 M if they can't find another investor to replace Belkin.
After raises for Little, Pavs and Bergie, they will have roughly $12.5M to sign 2 FA forwards, a top-flight D-man and a back-up goalie at a $50M budget. If you bring back Hedberg, then you have about $11M for 3 players. Penner may fit in that equation depending on what you pay for a D-man.
February 24th, 2010
12:58 pm
If we are talking about getting people for a serious run at the playoffs, shouldn't we be thinking goalie? Or is the consensus that what we have now is the best we can get? If you are looking to get better for next year, than it isn't as pressing and we should solidify the forwards. I guess the real question is, are ASG and DW hoping we will make the playoffs this year on a prayer, or serious about a run at it? If rentals are all that is out there, I say leave them out there. Beggars can't be choosers but at the same time, we have to find a way to get people to STAY here. I hate ASG and what they are doing to hockey here, but at the same time I love the game itself. So what do the FANS do to help fix things here? Ignoring hockey here will only make a bad situation worse. You want the team sold, but who will buy if they see that there isn't as much interest? Sure there were lots of tickets sold before, but a buyer will be looking at now and the future. I think if we want to voice our opinion and make it make some type of difference, the best place to do so which will work best for FANS and the team is at Philips. That will show potential buyers there are people going to the games, it will show the guys playing out there that Atlanta is a place they want to play, and if you want ASG gone, make some noise at the games.
Got a little off the starting point there LOL

rob-I have to check myself sometimes cause I talk too fast.
You are totally correct ont he goalie thing. we have painted ourselves into a corner by trading Kari. Whether it was a good move or not, I would have waited until after the season, just to see if he had anything left before getting rid of him, with no clear no. 1 to replace him.
February 24th, 2010
1:49 pm
29th in shots against. 28th in goals against. Pavelec has a .902 save percentage and a 3.45 goals against average. Both figures are way below Hedberg, BUT, the kid has only appeared in 54 NHL games, so I still say you have to have some patience. If Moose sticks around, he'll get plenty of action during the course of the last five weeks of the season, BUT, the goaltender of the future is Pavelec. I think we all better get used to that fact and be patient with the 22-year-old. Same with Bogo.

Pekka Rinne was just extended per the twittering of his agent…some guy by the name of Grossman. Looks like Dan Ellis could become a viable target for us in FA. He might be a good guy to have battle Pavelec for the starting job next year. The best way to get Pavs to improve is to push him as hard as possible. He knows that Hedberg will never take more than half the games from him going forward so bringing in a guy like Ellis might help make Pavelec great instead of good.

MARATHON COUNTY, WI (WTAQ) - About one of every seven private water wells in Marathon County have tested positive this year for coliform bacteria, which has the potential to cause E-coli contamination.
Marathon County is the state's largest in terms of land area. County health officials in Wausau say they've tested about 1,800 private wells this year, and 14 percent were found to have coliform bacteria.
Environmental health director Dale Grosskurth says the county's percentage is about what was seen at the state level a year ago. The State Hygiene Lab said about 15 percent of the private wells tested in 2011 had coliform samples. That figure was a high as 20 percent in 2008 and 2010, when the state has massive flooding.
Officials say most coliform bacteria is harmless – but it can be a sign of poor water quality.
Grosskurth said many of this year's positive tests are from older wells which don't have the protective caps which are now required by law. He said homeowners that test their wells each year would find it relatively easy to make improvements to come into compliance.
He said the thought of contaminants in drinking water should be enough to encourage people to test their well water each year.

A touching video out of Norway is making its rounds on the Internet. In less than two days, it has already been viewed nearly 6,000,000 times!
So what would you do if you saw a freezing child? The video shows real life reactions from a social experiment.
In the video, a little boy named Johannes is sitting alone in the cold at a bus stop in Oslo without a coat. It wasn't long before strangers starting talking to the 11-year-old actor, giving him their gloves, scarves and even their coats.
When they asked him why he is alone, he says he got separated on a class field trip. One woman even offered to call his teacher to come get him.
Norwegian charity S-O-S Children's Villages set this up to test people's compassion and raise money for Syrian children.
"Children in Syria are freezing and you can help by dontating. [sic] For more information: www.sos-barnebyer.no/Mayday/Syria" the video description writes.
Most viewers were very touched by the video. Julia MacBarbie wrote, "this gives me hope in humanity." Joel Alves wrote, "It made my day felt [sic] good." "Faith in humanity restored," wrote Victor Rosa.
However, a few people questioned whether such a touching video would have been created if a different child actor was used.
"Now, Imagine if he was black, overweight, and didn't fit the part of the shivering cute kid!" wrote user fmnma1. Similarly, user V3rciS wrote, "Hypocrisy, put a homeless 'dirty' immigrant child and then we'll see how 'KIND' people are."

For the second consecutive season, the Denver Nuggets will not be represented in the NBA All-Star Game. While there is a strong case to be made that their two leading scorers Danilo Gallinari and Ty Lawson have been playing at an All-Star caliber level in 2013, dreadfully slow season starts and a talent-rich Western Conference left them far outside the bubble of serious consideration.
This does not mean, however, that Nuggets players will be completely absent from All-Star Weekend. (more…)

so that they can kill the men in the taliban themselves, thus liberating themselves from constant rape and murder. After all the men are dead, there can be peace and justice for once.
afghani women and girls must be armed by women in the west
WORD SISTER! I have said myself 100 times that the only way anything will change for women is when they pick up a 2×4, a stick, a shovel, a car, a gun, and just go to work! I love you woman! :) Keep speakin the truth!
we need to send god damn blackwater (or the company formerly known as) into the congo to take out these assholes. the u.s. militay must be using some chemical warfare thing to make this men want to rape to such extreme.
every single country and every single religion and every single ethnic group uses rape (as well as videotaping it to sell on the black market) as a tactical weapon against their unnamed enemy-(which is women and everything female).
Not just yeah, but FUCK YEAH! Rape has become a major tactical weapon in the arsenal used against the "civilian enemy". What used to be a "spoil of war" is now an official tactic used to break down resistance in the native populations. The incidences of these
large scale group sexual terrorism incidents is way on the rise.(Congo#1) Sadly enough, these group planned assaults on the women of villages seems to be happening every where, even US MILITARY not innocent (whoeva thought we were). Often used as an incentive.. Time to arm up, women of the world.

This is cheesy, creamy, and rich. Delicious! However, not really the predominant flavor profile I was looking for, as I thought it was a bit bland. I was expecting to taste more pumpkin, sage and nutmeg. If I make this again, I will likely increase the spices (this is typical for me, though). This is very, very rich and easily 8 servings, not the 4 reported in the recipe.
Pumpkin Lasagne
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 onions, chopped
- 2 pounds Swiss chard, tough stems removed, leaves washed well and chopped
- 2 1/4 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon fresh-ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried sage
- 1/2 teaspoon grated nutmeg
- 3 cups canned pumpkin puree (one 28-ounce can)
- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
- 1 1/2 cups grated Parmesan
- 1/2 cup milk
- 9 no-boil lasagne noodles (about 6 ounces)
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1. In a large nonstick frying pan, heat the oil over moderately low heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent, about 5 minutes. Increase the heat to moderately high and add the chard, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, 1/2 teaspoon sage, and 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg. Cook, stirring, until the chard is wilted and no liquid remains in the pan, 5 to 10 minutes.
- 2. Heat the oven to 400°. In a medium bowl, mix together 2 cups of the pumpkin, 3/4 cup cream, 1/2 cup Parmesan, and the remaining 1 1/4 teaspoons salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, 1/2 teaspoon sage, and 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg.
- 3. Pour the milk into an 8-by-12-inch baking dish. Top the milk with one third of the noodles, then spread half the pumpkin mixture over the noodles. Layer half the Swiss chard over the pumpkin and top with a second layer of noodles. Repeat with another layer of pumpkin, Swiss chard, and noodles. Combine the remaining 1 cup of pumpkin and 3/4 cup of cream. Spread the mixture evenly over the top of the lasagne, sprinkle with the remaining 1 cup of Parmesan, and dot with the butter. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes. Uncover and bake until golden, about 15 minutes more.
- Wine Recommendation: The sweet pumpkin and rich Parmesan require a powerful white with some sweetness of its own. An Oregon pinot gris will be perfect.

An e-mail profile is made up of e-mail accounts, data files, and information about where your e-mail is stored. Profiles in Microsoft Outlook are similar to identities in Outlook Express.
E-mail profiles are what Outlook uses to remember which e-mail accounts you use and where the data for each account is stored. Each profile provides Outlook with the following information:
Outlook e-mail profiles are stored in the Windows registry. When Outlook starts, it retrieves the profile information from the registry.
Note You use the Mail icon in Control Panel to access options for configuring Outlook e-mail profiles. The Mail icon won't appear unless you have Outlook installed and have run the program at least one time.
When you run Outlook for the first time, a startup wizard guides you through the process of creating a new profile. The profile thus created runs whenever you start Outlook. Most people maintain only one profile — however, you might sometimes find it useful to have more than one. For example, you might want to use one profile for work mail and a second profile for personal mail. Also, if other people use the same computer that you do, their accounts and settings can be kept in separate profiles that have different names.
You cannot use passwords to protect Outlook profiles. To help protect your Outlook data from intrusion by other people, you should use a password-protected Windows user account.
Important You cannot switch from one e-mail profile to another while Outlook is running.
A basic profile consists of one or more e-mail accounts and a storage file. A private individual might have an Internet e-mail account, such as a POP3 account, while corporate workers might have a Microsoft Exchange account. Accounts of other types (including IMAP4 and HTTP accounts) can be added to any profile, and so can additional storage files (such as an Archive.pst file for keeping older messages). Sometimes extra services, such as fax and address book directories, may be included as well.
Note While a profile can include multiple Internet-type accounts, it can include only one Exchange account.
Top of Page
Most people need only a single profile. When Outlook runs for the first time, the first profile is created automatically and is named "Outlook." Whenever Outlook starts, this default profile runs automatically. When you add or modify e-mail accounts, or include an additional .pst file to use, you are modifying your profile. You can modify your profile at any time, but you cannot change the name of a profile after it is first created.
Note In Classic view, double-click Mail.
The Mail Setup dialog box opens.
You may need more than one profile in either of the following situations:
If you need more than one profile, you can create an additional profile at any time, and add to it the accounts and settings that you want. When you switch from one profile to another, you change the e-mail accounts and settings that are available to you in an Outlook session.
The Mail icon won't appear unless you have Outlook installed and have run the program at least once.
Tip When you use multiple profiles, there is usually one that you use the most often. Using the Prompt for a profile to be used option, you can configure Outlook to always select that profile in the Profile Name box. Then all you have to do to use that profile is click OK:

Will Walgreen Have a Better 2013?
Himanshu is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
No matter how bad the economic conditions are, there will always be some industries which are capable of doing well. For instance, since sales of medicines cannot be avoided, the pharmacy industry would remain insulated to a large extent from economic upheavals. Hence, investing in one such company may be the safest thing to do.
Drugstore operator Walgreen (NYSE: WAG) is one of the key players of an industry which was doing quite well until recently when it lost one of its precious contracts with Express Scripts Holdings (NASDAQ: ESRX). This was a turning point in its journey as the loss has been hampering its performance for the last few quarters and its recently-reported quarter was not an exception.
Though Walgreen got back the contract 2 months back, the effects of the loss are still recurring. Its first quarter results disheartened investors, sending its stock south. Let us understand what has been ailing the company.
What Exactly Went Wrong?
Increased popularity of generic drugs pulled down the top line by 4.5%, since they sell at lower prices. In fact, this has been the trend for quite some time now. Increased sales of generic drugs have been affecting the drugstore's revenue. However, generic drugs give higher margins and the company is further expected to have expanded margins since higher demand for generics is expected to continue. Also, events such as Hurricane Sandy affected its sales for the quarter since many of its stores were closed.
Moreover, loss of Express Scripts' contract led to migration of customers to other players such as CVS Caremark Corporation (NYSE: CVS) which has been reaping great benefits out of it. Also, CVS intends to retain new customers through its marketing initiatives and expects a gain of 12.5 cents per share in its fourth quarter results. Additionally, it was the first drugstore player to launch the loyalty program which is now benefitting Walgreen also.
Even rival Rite Aid Corporation (NYSE: RAD) has benefitted largely from the lost deal. This enabled the smaller rival to witness better days and great quarters. Rite Aid posted a profit of 7 cents per share, compared to a loss of 6 cents last year. The company managed to register a rocking performance because of more Express Scripts' customers coming into its stores and its efforts to retain them. Rite Aid has been making endless efforts to hold on to the opportunity by strengthening its marketing initiatives such as remodeling its stores and giving incentives to loyal customers.
Great Things to Ponder On…
Though Walgreen went through a number of problems, there were many good things about the quarter and its prospects. Firstly, the top line performance was better if we exclude the effect of the shift from branded to generic drugs. There were a higher number of customers who visited the store for flu shots. This is expected to continue in the future as flu gets even severe.
Another very positive point to note in the quarter was the winning back of Express Scripts' customers. Walgreen has finally started to get back many of its customers, which it had lost a few quarters back. Even the transaction size of the customers was higher. All thanks to the strategic efforts undertaken by the drugstore chain.
Along with the customer loyalty program, which worked quite well, Walgreen also introduced gift cards that attracted customers to its stores. It also remodeled many of its stores which resulted in higher customer traffic.
Most importantly, Walgreen's acquisition of Alliance Boots is expected to start bearing fruit. The acquisition has been a very crucial one. Though it affected Walgreen's bottom line and made investors apprehensive about the decision of getting into the European market in turbulent times, its efforts will finally start paying off. It will probably reap the benefits of the buyout from next quarter as well as the advantages of its expansion into a new region. This is something to watch out for in future.
The Takeaway
It looks like an end of all miseries and sufferings for the drugstore operator. The company tasted all the bitter flavors during the year and is now ready for a great start. Events such as renewal of Express Scripts' contract, European expansion, higher promotions and store remodels are all in place and are expected to show great promise in the months to come. This company looks all set for a blockbuster year which presents an opportunity for investors. I think it's the right time to invest in this one.

October 24, 2012, 9:18 AM — As organizations continue to evaluate Hadoop for large scale data analysis, Hadoop software vendors are refining their products for enterprise use, addressing concerns around reliability and expanded use.
This week, Cloudera and MapR both announced that they are working on new features for their Hadoop distributions. And enterprise software vendors VMware and Splunk have announced products that should help the Apache Hadoop data processing platform work more easily with other IT systems.
The companies all announced their new work at the O'Reilly Strata Conference and Hadoop World 2012, going on this week in New York.
"We find that most of the Hadoop workloads are things you couldn't previously do, like combining disparate data types," said Kirk Dunn, Cloudera chief operating officer. As a result, Hadoop vendors are rushing to meet the new demands required by these new workloads.
Cloudera is working on a database engine, code-named Impala, that can query datasets stored on the HBase database through SQL (Structured Query Language). Until now, organizations tended to use Hive to execute SQL querying against HBase. This approach, however, can be slow, since Hive uses the Map Reduce framework, which requires the results of each query be written to disk. This process can be especially tedious when multiple sub-queries need to be made to form a single query.
The Impala database engine uses the Hive metadata directory, though it bypasses MapReduce, while still offering SQL as an interface, said Charles Zedlewski, Cloudera vice president of products. As a result, it runs queries much faster than Hive.
Eventually, Impala will be the basis of a Cloudera commercial offering, called the Cloudera Enterprise RTQ (Real-Time Query), though the company has not specified a release date. The company has released the Impala source code under an Apache Foundation license. A number of business intelligence software providers have already tested their own products against Impala, including Karmasphere, MicroStrategy, Pentaho, and Tableau.
MapR is adding new features to make its own HBase database distribution more reliable. The database can now be replicated and mirrored, so that if one copy goes down the system can switch to the backup copy.
While a generic version of HBase does offering mirroring capabilities, it relies on HDFS (Hadoop File System), which is a "write-once" file system, said Jack Norris, vice president of marketing for MapR Technologies. As a result, it can take up to 30 minutes to switch to a back-up copy of HBase. MapR uses its own file system, which has been extended to handle tables as well.
"The files and tables are side-by-side in the volumes and directories. HBase reads directly from those tables, so now you have instant recovery. You can read directly from the snapshots," Norris said.

Chupacabra Clearly Filmed In Goodyear, Arizona, April 2011
A video shot Goodyear, Arizona has some wondering what exactly was recently spotted running through a Goodyear neighborhood.
Darrin Jackson was driving his kids to school, when he noticed something unusual running from the park.
"It was all gray, no hair on it at all, maybe just a little bit at the top, and it had this funny looking tail," said Jackson.
Jackson believes what he viewed roaming the streets of Goodyear was a Chupacabra, a legendary hairless creature.
"It looks like an alien almost, so it's hard to forget that image because it's so weird looking and just to see it in broad daylight."
Jackson shot video while following the animal from the park to a nearby Fry's grocery store parking lot. It was there where the creature ran through an open gate and disappeared down a sewer drain.

Damn it people, since when does a dog with the mange constitute for the Chupacabra? I saw a 700 pound fat women trying to eat a foot long while trying to drive a beetle, does that mean I saw Jesus? No, just a fat ass women being dumb.

So what really. Even if it is a kind of dog that isnt catalogued, its just a dog. Not sure why it should be called Chupacabra but hey why not. Chupacabra the dog. :)

If not here then where?I'm not saying the jury is in yet on the chupa, and so far I haven't seen one shred of daylight film yet.If this what is referred TO as a chupa then the evidence speaks for itself - it's a f%^&*ing canine.On the other hand, if this is NOT a chupa, we're still at the "I don't know yet" crossroads.Either way, it's for simple reference - not PROOF.If anyone has definitive reference for such - I say go for it.Only don't be showing us your momma's chihuahua cause you'll get the same response :)
