Another day, another format flip.
This afternoon, Atlanta-based Cumulus has ended Journey 97.9, which played an eclectic mix of 1980s and 1990s pop music for just over a year, in favor of some sort of Q100 "spinoff" station. Songs the new "Q100″ station has played so far include "As Long As You Love Me' by Justin Bieber, "Hello" by Karmin, "Whistle" by Flo Rida and "Let Me Love You" by Ne Yo.
In a press release, John Dickey, co-COO of Atlanta-based Cumulus, said the company has decided to create a Q100 "brand extension," so to speak on 97.9. "With so much hit music, we needed to add on," he said. "Q-100's 20 at 97.9 will give us the room we need to continue to serve up more hit music than any other station/brand in Atlanta. While Atlanta wakes up to Q-100's The Bert Show on 99.7, kids can get their hit music fix on Q-100's 20 at 97.9."
This is partially a response to Clear Channel's new Power 96.1, which flipped from hard rock Project 9-6-1 last Wednesday. That new top 40 station is gunning directly after Q100's big numbers. On Friday, Cumulus dumped alternative 99X at 98.9 in favor of hard rock 98.9/The Bone to pick up disaffected Project listeners.
Notably, neither 97.9 nor 98.9 are on terribly strong signals.
Dave FM, the adult rock station in town since 2004, is going away in favor of sports talk in a few weeks. Atlanta's Greatest Hits at 106.7 died in May in favor of news talk.
That's five format changes this year. The moves have been bad news for rock fans and fans of somewhat older pop music. For those folks, it's a good excuse to go to Spotify, Pandora and Sirius/XM. But it's been great news for top 40 fans and news/talk folks.
Cumulus operates Kicks 101.5, All News 106.7, Q100, Rock 100.5, 98.9/The Bone and now this Q100's 20 at 97.9. Clear Channel operates 94.9/The Bull, Power 96.1, Wild 105.7/96.7 (which is skewing more hip hop now), news/talk 640/WGST-AM and 105.3/El Patron.

You have got to be kidding me! 99x was going to be my back-up for Dave. Scratch that! Journey could at least play *some* 80's and 90's stuff I liked. Now scratch that! Hope the River can broaden their playlist to pull in some Dave listeners or streaming radio here I come!

Excuse me, folks. I'm going to go find the guy that introduced Atlanta radio executives to bath salts and punch him in the face.
September 4th, 2012
5:46 pm
I AM DONE. Do you hear me, radio execs? Not that you care anyway, but now I'll just make my own iTunes mixes and play them in the car. We need another pop station like we need another HOT lane!
September 4th, 2012

The best way to send the signal "up yours" is to seek out your own source of music and NEVER turn the dial to these radio prostitutes. They obviously don't care for your demographic. Let them know you don't care for theirs by boycotting the radio. Money talks.
September 4th, 2012

106.7 is NOT news/talk, but rather ALL NEWS.
But, I do think this is a stunt. That is what this guy said: http://atlradioinsider.blogspot.com/2012/09/looks-like-journey-has-come-to-end.html
September 4th, 2012
5:56 pm
Well I didn't expect it to last as long as it did. That seems to be the trend with 80s stations for some reason. Good grief though, how many Top 40 stations to we really need in Atlanta though? What is this #6 or 7?
September 4th, 2012
5:57 pm
Yippee – ANOTHER top 40 station to add to Q100, Star94, 98.5, 105.7, now Power 96 or whatever its new name is. Seriously?! I can only take so much Rihanna, NeYo, Beiber (ugh!), Maroon 5, Goyte…etc…. it is killing me. When you turn the station, the exact same song is on the next station. Is this an evil plot to finally rid me of what little sanity I have left??? I believe it may be.
September 4th, 2012
6:03 pm
Wow this has been the worst decision making week or so in radio history. Why on Earth do we need 5 stations playing the exact same 27 songs………………………..
September 4th, 2012
6:21 pm
So… I will be switching to all internet radio all the time. I like some top 40, but if that is all there is I can make my own radio stations and playlists.
September 4th, 2012
6:29 pm
Just went to Cumulus.com, on their Station Portfolio page they have 97.9 listed as 99X. If you click on listen live it is playing the bone crap. I don't know what it means.
September 4th, 2012
6:30 pm
Great, another station that will play the same 15 songs over and over again every hour.
September 4th, 2012
6:31 pm
Really? REALLY? I agree…..WORST DECISION IN RADIO EVER!!!! peace out 97.9….you are no longer programmed on my car radio preset. I hope enough people complain…sign a petition….boycott…..please bring back JOURNEY!!
September 4th, 2012

Today is my birthday. This is the worst birthday ever.

This is the worst decision made by a media station since FOX cancelled Arrested Development in 2006.
September 4th, 2012
6:37 pm
I think Apple is behind all of these format changes. iPod sales and radio accessories will be going up. I don't mind 99x going to a rock format but what about the alternative music that 99x and Dave were great at introducing to the ATL? Goyte and fun. were being played on these stations long before the top 40 stations would give them the time of day. I really hope 99x and Dave get merge onto the Rock 100 frequency.
September 4th, 2012
6:45 pm
Just another radio station off the pre-set (now done to 4 stations)! Can't wait for all the ratings to start to come in.
For those changed already, are there "numbers" out there yet? If yes, Rodney, you may just want to set up a direct link to the ratings for only these 5 (more if there are more changes yet to come): last 5 ratings results prior to change, then all under new format. Be nice to have something to be referred to when roasting those big shots who don't know the radio market here in ATL.
Ok – now where's that iPod (2nd generation 8g nano – still works great, has more songs on it that all radio stations in ATL combined – 1400+ songs!) of mine???
September 4th, 2012
6:47 pm
with TuneIn and Slacker apps on my phone, and my ipod, I have no use for Atlanta radio, Cumulus…..you suck! Clear Chanel…..you suck! Take your 15 Pop stations in one market and shove them up your @55!!!! I won't listen to any station you own.
September 4th, 2012
6:54 pm
Great. Another lame station for the sheeple of Atlanta
September 4th, 2012
7:04 pm
PS – Rodney, it's time to update your station listing on the right. Also, some of the links you have in the USEFUL list, are dead or go somewhere else (ex: arbitron ratings).
September 4th, 2012
7:05 pm
WHO CARES…..satellite radio rocks!!!!
With satellite you don't have to hear the same songs regurgitated every 4 hours…..same play list, same limited artists, same DJ banter between songs, same lack of creativity when it comes to the music that is played because the station managers/owners are stuck on stupid.
September 4th, 2012
7:14 pm
Why in the hell would they do that?? I switched to Journey 97.9 because I didn't want to listen to all the DJ rhetoric on competing station 98.5. Journey was a great market for those who only like 80s and 90s. There is a NEED for another 80s/90s station in Atlanta. HUGE MISTAKE TAKING IT OFF THE AIR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BRING BACK JOURNEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
September 4th, 2012
7:38 pm
And now you know why there are so many of us who have listened to satellite radio for so many years…local radio, outside of talk radio, is a joke! Atlanta has for years totally blown it with great radio stations…just ask anyone who remembers Jazz Flavors..one of the best Jazz radio shows in America that featured LOCAL acts like the Killer Bees…Gone!!
September 4th, 2012
7:45 pm
Really? Do we really need another top 40 station, do we really need more news talk, do we really need more sports talk? No we don't.
Where is the variety, where is the differentiation?
What am I going to listen to now? I am not paying for satellite radio, pandora, etc.
September 4th, 2012
7:50 pm
80/90s is a niche format-never designed to be around for any long period of time .other niche formats include smooth jazz, which I love. Also, there was a time there were five stations that played AC, pop/country/urban crossovers from the likes of mariah carey, gloria estefan, anita baker, shania twain. Local formats here in the atl mirror the national trends. Different decades bring on different tastes. Every1 just take a slow deep breath-it'll be ok!

Macon now has a better selection of music stations than Atlanta. Who are these Dickey people and why are they trying to destroy Atlanta music radio? First it was David Dickey with Dave FM and now John Dickey. I still can't believe 92.9 is being destroyed. It is the only station that plays good, rounded, classic and current music. Music radio in Atlanta is now dead. How did we let this happen?
September 4th, 2012
8:15 pm
Wait 99X is gone? So now no DaveFM very soon, no 9-6-1? Guess it's WABE/NPR for me on terrestrial radio. I won't even bother with pop/rock on Atlanta stations.
September 4th, 2012
8:16 pm
Sorry, but satellite radio isn't much better (and I'm a subscriber). I think I'll mainly start listening to Slacker.
September 4th, 2012
8:21 pm
All these station changes are great news for my 16 year old daughter! She and her friends have more stations to pick from than can fit on the preset buttons. Congratulations to all stations involved that have now captured the elusive and magical 12-17 year old demo.
HOWEVER. 12-17 year olds don't generally have any money to spend… in fact, nada. maybe $20 from babysitting, or minimum wage from a part time job that (for girls) will entirely go towards clothing… so if you think your formats will translate into advertising dollars, you obviously didn't think this all through. Good luck with that.
September 4th, 2012
8:23 pm
I agree with Nick Wright. So what Radio Execs are saying is there is there will be NO Terrestrial Adult Rock Format station…period. Destroying DaveFM means I have to move to Bubble Pop or Hard Rock or some Pseudo InBetween Kinda Thing. No new Artist or Music for Those who grew up on 99X and then moved to the Adult Format of DaveFM. Fine. We have no Station to Sponsor our Music, We'll keep our Dollars
September 4th, 2012
8:28 pm
I didn't listen to Journey at all because I think 90's music is YUCK and I hope that this is a stunt to bring a much needed station with great programming, Seriously the q100 top 20 songs?? Power is playing the same 100 songs 96 times in a row and they think people will remain loyal listeners to hear that?? I want to hear Little Steven's Underground garage on the radio. Margot, Steve Craig and Yvonne could definitely get something together that people would like-Dave plays way too much of that raspy dude that sings lullabye and the Indigo Girls, but they will play something good once in a while, this morning I heard Fight like a Brave by Chili Peppers, not that Dani California dreck and I was surprised.
Time will tell, but I hope we get something wonderful.
September 4th, 2012
8:39 pm
Spotify makes it easier to listen to music that I like. XmNotSerious plays the same songs over and over again. They've got a gazillion channels but each channel has a very limited play list. I hear the same songs every time I get in my car. Spotify is simply the way to go.

Last decent station on air in Atlanta is Georgia State's 88.5. Thank God for hipster college kids.
September 4th, 2012
8:40 pm
Radio killed the radio stars. BOOOO HIISSS..this STINKS! I guess I'll be carrying my cd's with me..and making my own music. No 99X so I fell in Love with Dave…now that is going away for stupid sports talk….And now this. I guess the radio execs think rock is dead…or they are trying to kill it.
September 4th, 2012
8:41 pm
I will really miss the acoustic sets on Sunday mornings on Dave and 99x. Great playlists.
September 4th, 2012
8:42 pm
Variety Radio here in Atlanta is now officially DEAD!!!!! How many format changes have we seen over the past decade?? WAY TOO MANY!!!!!!!!!! First Peach 94.9, then Lite 94.9, the 94.9 the Bull? And now all other stations play either too much top 40 or have nothing but news. ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!!! Where is the variety for oldies, 70s, 80s, and 90s??? Goss told me that radio would change here in the ATL over the next decade, and boy was he right!!! Maybe I better get an internet radio started in a hurry. Too many changes in Atlanta radio for me. TOTAL BS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
September 4th, 2012
8:54 pm
Well, I now have exactly two (2) stations: WABE and Album 88.5. If nothing else, the complete absence of decent "big" stations will make me smarter. But I'll never hear the 90's rock I grew up with on the radio again, and that's sad.
September 4th, 2012
9:00 pm
88.5 just sounds better and better every day.
Thank GAWD for my Sirius sub.

I also say that Satellite Radio is not all some say it is. You certainly have a variety of genres/themes to listen to but any one station has a playlist comparable to the breadth of many FM stations. For my tastes, Dave FM has the biggest playlist and is what I've listened to for years (despite their excessive love for The Police). In a few weeks, I'll be on TuneIn Radio looking for a Dave clone.

I like Cumulus's new all news format. I listen on my way home from work so I can stay up-to-date on the news because the last thing I want to do when I get home from work is sit in front of another screen.
September 4th, 2012
9:55 pm
It is amazing that the rock stations fell like dominos almost overnight. I have never seen anything like it. I used to boast to outsiders about the good rock stations in Atlanta, now we are worse than everywhere else.
September 4th, 2012
10:04 pm
This is not cool! I loved 97.9, all music, none of that talking crap and so few commercials! Besides, who doesn't love 80's and 90's music!!
September 4th, 2012
10:21 pm
Oh….where to begin? A spinoff of Q100? So they are only going to have a rotation of 20 songs? I thought that is what they were already playing. Honing in tighter on the kids? Smart, but stupid. So, now we add yet another Top 40….unbelievable! They going to steal some of Q's listeners and revenue? I guess that's why Q has ben playing a little more music in the morning during The Bert Show, to prep people of the addition of another station that is supposedly going to play music. I guess the comment Bert made last week about all of the new people and additions in the building all makes sense now.
All Cumulus needs to do now is to flip Rock 100 to something else and they pretty much have changed every station in this pit of a radio market that used to have some good flagship stations. I guess Top 40 is where the revenue is at right now and they are trying to capitalize on it. What they don't understand is that they are REALLY alienating every Rock listener that is over the age of 25, who doesn't listen to the type of music that used to be on Project, now on "The Bone". Bone fits, but only at the media companies who came up with these ideas…BONE-HEAD!
How long will it be before all of these stations flip again to whatever the hot format is next year?
Petitions and whining is not going to phase these guys. They are executives that are completely out of touch with the demographics of the market. And they think that putting these stations on translator signals is going to get the station going. Those translator signals don't reach further than you can throw a rock.
These execs need to get a grip on reality and on the market they are in. Based on the actions in the last month, they sure as hell don't.
September 4th, 2012

The 'illuminati' strike yet another blow, foisting yet another soulless stream of atonal electronic dreck disguised as "music" (in between eight-minute stretches of advertising) on an unsuspecting public.
Lord help us all, and especially our children. I know parents have been saying this since the advent of Elvis (and perhaps before), but the current crop of "artists" strike me as at least vacuous, at worst downright vicious.
September 4th, 2012
11:08 pm
More Top 40 pop stations? Has anyone called Steve McCoy yet? There HAS to be a spot for him on one of them!
September 4th, 2012
11:33 pm
WTH is going on with ATL radio?! Is it a blatant desire for the "powers" (used loosely!) that be, to drive everyone to satellite?! What happens to our local voices?!
September 4th, 2012
11:52 pm
If I've said it once I've said it a thousand times: Atlanta radio sucks. Even places like Macon and Columbus have way better stations than Atlanta. I guess it's time to start seriously looking into satellite for when I'm not listening to my CDs or my MP3 player in the car.
September 5th, 2012
12:36 am
All the radio executives, etc. are in cahoots and are working for the Top 40 and Pop music producers.
Taking over a big market like Atlanta and completely monopolizing all stations, killing there competition
will MAKE CAPTIVE AUDIENCES. But Pop and Top 40 music producers can't and won't let their drug scouged minds understand that a huge portion of public can't stand Pop/Top 40 crapola.
With the long Atlanta commutes back and forth to work, the radio exec think they rule the universe.
But we will have to use alternative measures to beat the rap we've been given. Crap is Crap.

|Bhajans: Way of Worship
-Madhu Rye
The Sanskrit word for worship is bhakti ; one who worships is a bhakta ; and one way of worship is to sing bhajans, i.e. devotional songs.
Traditional religious ceremonies in India are highly structured; elaborate and expensive rituals are conducted by a priest in Sanskrit. In contrast, bhajan sessions eliminate the priest; the singer addresses the Almighty himself in simple vernacular to rudimentary music of cymbals, tabla, and harmonium.

New Airline Coming to LI MacArthur Airport
Ronkonkoma (WALK) - Coming soon to Long Island: a cheap ride to Florida.
Local officials will announce today that Allegiant Travel Company, an airline based in Las Vegas, will begin offering service between Long Island MacArthur Airport and the Fort Myers area by the end of the year. The new service is expected to launch on December 20th.
The airline will begin its service to and from Long Island with only one departure to Punta Gorda Airport each week, every Friday evening. One return flight will be scheduled every Monday.
For many Long Islanders, the best part of the new service will be its cost. The airline plans to offer introductory an round-trip fare of $99 per person, or $69 one way.
Times have been tough for MacArthur Airport, which lost almost half its daily flights between 2007 and 2012, a victim of the economy and airline consolidation. Allegiant, however, becomes the second airline to begin serving travelers at MacArthur Airport this year. Last month, PenAir began service between Long Island and Boston.

Matheson Hammock Park and Beach
One of our favorite spots in the area, Matheson Beach is a location made unique by its man made atoll pool which is flushed naturally with the tidal action of nearby Biscayne Bay. Believe us when we say that this place is HUGE. It seems that the only thing you can't do here is keep track of time. Kite boarding, biking, water skiing, paddle boarding, swimming, fishing, sun-bathing, dinner and some amazing sunsets over the accompanying wetlands make this quite possibly one of the coolest parks in south Florida.
The park is open daily sunrise to sunset and accessible via our complimentary shuttle.

Yesterday, it was full-on sunny in New York City. It was also fairly frigid, but the sun made all the difference; for the first time in weeks, maybe months, it feels like spring might really come and all those bright skirts and dresses I've been hoarding since last summer might actually see the light of day again. Naturally, that means it's time start season-pushing with my handbags as well, and right now, no brand's bags make me want to carry something bright and cheerful as much as Coach's do right now. They're positively irrepressible.
Beyond that, the bags are also totally affordable. I easily found nine bright bags from Coach that I'd love to have, and none costs more than $500 – in fact, most of them are far less. There's no better way to start a season than a lovely new bag that doesn't decimate your spring wardrobe budget, and even if you've never been a Coach fan before, you might want to take a look and consider what these colors can do for your mood.

European Option Pricing with Transaction Costs and Stochastic Volatility: an Asymptotic Analysis
AbstractIn this paper the valuation problem of a European call option in presence of both stochastic volatility and transaction costs is considered. In the limit of small transaction costs and fast mean reversion, an asymptotic expression for the option price is obtained. While the dominant term in the expansion it is shown to be the classical Black and Scholes solution, the correction terms appear at $O(\varepsilon^{1/2})$ and $O(\varepsilon)$. The optimal hedging strategy is then explicitly obtained for the Scott's model.

Proof of PSF quadratic factorising
by bairdos
Tags: factorising, proof, quadratic
|Share this thread:
Jul16-14, 10:13 AM
Hi! I came across the below thread where a user ('krackers') asked for a proof of the PSF factorising method for quadratic equations.
The thread is now closed so I'd like to post my proof here.
(The proof considers the simplest case where there are no common factors for a,b,c in the quadratic. A proof for cases with a common factor can easily be created with the same structure as below with a common factor 'd' added.)
Given a polynomial ax^2 + bx + c = 0 there are rational roots if (b^2 - 4ac) is 0 or a positive square number
The rational factors can be written as p/q and m/n (fractions in simplest form)
therefore the polynomial can be written as (x-p/q)(x-m/n) = 0
multiplying by qn: (qx-p)(nx-m) = 0
which becomes nqx^2 - mqx -npx + mp = 0
so a = nq, c =mp and b is the sum of the middle terms (-mq and -np)
note that a*c= mnpq and that the product of the two numbers (-mq) and (-np) is also mnpq
so therefore if the polynomial has rational roots then there must be two numbers (-mq and -np) that add to give 'b' and multiply to give the product of 'a' and 'c'.
These numbers can be found by trial and error (because m,n,p,q are all integers)
To prove that there is only and only one pair of numbers S,T you can solve the simultaneous equations: S + T = b, ST = ac
(using the quadratic formula and the condition that (b^2-4ac) is 0 or a positive square number)
(of course there can only be one pair of numbers because otherwise there would be more than one factorisation of the polynomial resulting in there being multiple possible sets of roots).
I developed this proof because I felt it was my obligation as a high school maths tutor to understand why everything that I teach works :)
Jul17-14, 01:15 AM
Addendum (I'm a newbie and couldn't see a way to edit the original post):
I wondered why S,T always turn out to be integers when you calculate them by solving simultaneous equations.
The formulas for S,T are (-b+root(b^2-4ac))/2 and (-b-root(b^2-4ac)/2).
The trick is that b^2-4ac is only even if b is even so the numerator of each fraction consists of two even numbers added or subtracted together. In both cases this gives an even number which is halved to give an integer.
Similarly b^2-4ac is only even if b is odd and the numerator of each fraction consists of two odd numbers added or subtracted together. This also gives an even number in both cases which is halved to give an integer.
Ahh, closure.

I had so well and truly stopped thinking about ovulation tracking and all the fun stuff that goes along with TTC that I had actually forgotten to NOT have sex during my fertile window now that we kind of don't want children anymore. So, yeah, had sex smack bang on my most fertile day….
Ugh! I just signed a contract for a new job, and I'm SO excited about it! This better not have worked!!
It's rare to find recurrent pregnancy loss discussed. This made me feel less alone. Thank you!
What's better: Being financially very comfortable but feeling very bored and stuck at work, or having to rely on your partner's salary and trying to get more happy in a different career?

Comcast joins crowded field by offering home troubleshooting service
Tuesday, March 8, 2011
Comcast believes its new Xfinity Signature Support service, which makes its debut today in the Twin Cities, Atlanta and Chattanooga, Tenn., will allow it to make more visits to your home — both in person and through a tech support help line. A national rollout will follow and be completed by summer, Comcast says.
"It's not like turning on your television anymore. There's so much more connectivity, whether it's your cable or your satellite or Internet television, and most people are not going to be able to do it themselves," said David Brennan, co-director of the Institute for Retailing Excellence at the University of St. Thomas Opus College of Business.

Four games, six points.
The St. Louis Blues have four more games to go, trailing the Colorado Avalanche for the last playoff berth by six points. In other words, it will take nothing short of a miracle for this organization to qualify for the postseason.
The Blues will look to keep hope alive tonight when they lace 'em up to take on division rival Columbus Blue Jackets at Scottrade Center. Columbus, having already been eliminated from playoff contention, are playing for pride and for roster spots next season.
Those teams are extremely dangerous this time of year, they can play without abandon or consequence. St. Louis doesn't have that luxury, one more loss and they are officially eliminated from the second season. None of this would have been necessary though if they were able to play as well at home, where tonight's contest is being held, as they did on the road.
How can a team that boasts the least amount of regulation losses away from their home barn, in the conference, make like Tiny Tim on Christmas Eve, when it comes to the playoff seedings? Let's just say home isn't where the heart is for the boys with the blue notes on their crest.
Before last Saturday's 2-1 win over the similiarly disappointing Dallas Stars, St. Louie's favorite ice hockey team had won a grand total of 15 home games this season.
To put that in perspective, the league doormat Edmonton Oilers had more home wins, before Saturday night's victory. The fact that they even are still in it, with that shameful record on home ice, is actually a really impressive feat. It is what inevitably will seal their collective playoff fate though, remember that whole nothing short of a miracle bit I suggested being the only way these Blues qualify for the playoffs? It's just a few lines prior, if curious.
It's too bad they couldn't play all of their games on away from home this season. Redefining the term road warriors, the St. Louis Blues, the Blues recorded 22 wins away from their "friendly" confines. Only the conference leading San Jose Sharks have more road wins out west. The enormous difference here is that the Sharks also took care of business at HP Pavillion, recording 25 wins thus far.
Too many inconsistent efforts all around.
Not enough scoring? Check
Spotty goaltending? Check
Defense doing their best impression of a leaky faucet? Check
Yes, despite all of their inadequacies, if they were playing in the Eastern Conference, they would be fighting for a fifth seed. The gap between east and west is so severe, it's almost comparing the Blues home and road records for the 2009-10 NHL season, with the east being the home record and well, you get the idea.
Not all was as sour as it seemed though.
With current players such as Chris Mason, clearly establishing himself as a legitimate No. 1 goalie in this league, although his numbers don't overwhelm. He doesn't rank in the top ten for any major goaltender category, but he has provided the most stability on the ice, especially when compared to the offensive and defensive departments. Although he will turn 34 later on this month, Mason's presence in net will continue to provide a solid base for which this team can hopefully build around.
Another building block, a more prominent one at that, is Erik Johnson. He emerged as a top pairing defenseman this year, despite not playing the majority of last season due to injury.
The first overall pick in 2006 has taken the long route to NHL stardom, but the combination of the solid season, along with his standout performance in this year's Olympics for Team USA, has made this hulking blueliner the centerpiece of this franchise. This was to be expected, since in that draft the Blues selected him over the likes of Jonathan Toews, Phil Kessel, Jordan Staal and other current superstars in this league. Although his numbers are modest(9G 28A) the balance to his game will only improve with more experience he gets.
When he gets that experience, he has the ability to dominate as a certain other Blues defenseman did not so long ago. Okay, if you aren't into playing any guessing games, I am potentially comparing him to Chris Pronger!
Although he might not be a building block for years to come, Paul Kariya has shown that those old legs might have a few more years left in 'em. After notching his 400th career goal just recently in a road win against the New York Rangers, Kariya has continued to lead the offense down the stretch. Although he's not scoring with aplomb, the way he did for many years with the Ducks, his game seems to be revitalized, notching four points in his last five games.
That's the point here though, all of the team's better players are all having modest seasons. Modest is great when you are dealing with a person's personality traits, not athlete's statistics.
Maybe if we were living in a Jerry Seinfeld Bizarro World, where a hockey team is ten times better on the road than they are at home…oh, nevermind.

It was recently announced that a building of historical significance, also widely recognized as an icon of Neepawa's heritage, has been put up for sale. The I.O.O.F. (Independent Order of Odd Fellows) lodge, a two storey brick structure located at the corner of Mountain Avenue and Mill Street, will likely see some modifications when new owners take over the premises, bringing to an end an era which saw the lodge play a prominent role in the community for more than a century.
The Neepawa Odd Fellows Lodge no. 16 was first instituted on January 9, 1989 by 11 founding charter members, and for the first few years meetings were held in an upstairs room of the Press building, then located just west of the current town hall, the room rented by a branch of Masons and sublet to the I.O.O.F. Since the space quickly became too cramped for the rapidly expanding membership, in 1990 the lodge moved its headquarters to a larger hall in the C. D. Bemrose block at the corner of Hamilton St. and Mountain Ave., with the Odd Fellows in turn subletting space to the Masons at the new location.
Within a year, however, the membership had grown to the point where its new facilities were inadequate, and in 1903 the decision was made to construct a new hall at the corner of Mountain Avenue and Mill Street, where the I.O.O.F. already owned land. Initial tender cost estimates for the new two storey structure were in the range of $9,000, but when all was said and done, the price tag had blossomed to $12,000, this amount being deemed a large sum of money at the time.
With the building's architecture to consist primarily of stone and brick, 130,000 bricks were purchased from the Portage La Prairie Brick Yard for $1,203, these being transported by CPR train car, and hauled to the building site by draymen at a cost of one dollar per 1,000 bricks. Meanwhile, stone for the foundation was purchased at $6 per cord, with W.J. McLaughlin contracting the stonework for the sum of $425. Also of note, is that a tin box containing 'certain documents' was imbedded in the southeast cornerstone.
It is documented that during construction there was some disagreement in the ranks as to whether the floor should be built of maple or fir, with the matter finally settled by a vote which favoured maple, this type of wood apparently the choice of members who liked dancing. Other exorbitant nuances, which added to the architectural beauty of the building, were ceilings comprised of embossed tin, these materials shipped in from Ontario.
The first meeting at the new hall took place in January of 1904, thereafter becoming a weekly event, with its all male officers changed up every six months. The lodge enjoyed a steady growth in membership for some years, and on November 11, 1910, a sister branch of the I.O.O.F. named the Anemone Rebekah Lodge no. 23 was instituted, this all female order holding its own meetings in the same building.
Early in the 20th century membership in the I.O.O.F and Rebekah lodges was very popular, with individuals of community distinction attending the hall meetings, including John Wemyss and John Simpson, grandparents of the famous Neepawa writer, Margaret Lawrence. In fact, when in 1912 members of the I.O.O.F. no. 16 traveled by train to attend a function at Sovereign Grand Lodge in Winnipeg, prompted by reason of the sheer volume of people from Neepawa who made the trip, it was suggested that municipal council declare a town holiday.
It is estimated that the origins of the Odd Fellows fraternity, an offshoot of 'guilds' – defined as simply groups of people uniting for their own common benefit - date back to 14th century England, in a time when social welfare was nonexistent. The term 'Odd Fellows' came into being because in that day and age of social segregation between rich and poor, educated and uneducated, it was deemed 'odd' for a group of men to gather for the purpose of helping others in need and to pursue projects whose purpose was, void of discrimination, the betterment of all mankind.
From its beginnings, and consistent to present day, the I.O.O.F. fraternities had strict rules and guidelines governing its membership, the rituals of its meetings and topics of discussion therein cloaked in secrecy. And, if it were not for a steady decline in membership over the past half century or so, which has resulted in the disbanding of many of the lodges in Manitoba and elsewhere, certain facts in this article would not have come to light, and certainly would not have been made privy for publication in a newspaper.
Shirley Brydon, who joined Neepawa's Anemone Rebekah Lodge (their mandate being to 'visit the sick, relive the distressed, bury the dead, and educate the orphan), in November of 1959, explained the reasoning behind the lodge secrecy.
"One of the reasons I was given, was because in the 1800s, when the Odd Fellows were first formed (and becoming a worldwide organization), there were lots of people passing through who were strangers, and a handshake, sign, or password was used to identify yourself."
Sitting down for an interview after she had taken me on a guided tour of the Neepawa Odd Fellows lodge, during which I was permitted to take photographs inside the I.O.O.F. upstairs council chambers, it was a remark by Shirley Brydon which really put things into perspective, and which I also found keenly interesting.
"If you had come upstairs 45 years ago, and I had showed you the chairs and symbols, you would likely have been run out of town."
Due to space constraints, only so much can be covered in this article, but some of the work that the I.O.O.F. and Rebekah lodges have done over the years includes: the building of a home for seniors and orphans in Winnipeg in 1922; in 1949, the complete refurbishment of a ward at the Neepawa Memorial Hospital; canvassing to assist polio victims in the March of Dimes beginning in 1958; funding the gate at the International Peace Gardens; delivering Meals on Wheels; sponsorship of the United Nations Pilgrimage for Youth project. Besides these, many other projects are being undertaken by the organization today, including helping out in various community facets.
Having been declared a provincial historical site in 1995, according to Brydon, the sale of Neepawa's I.O.O.F. hall, also the last of its kind in the province, is the direct result of "declining membership, and increasing costs." Representative of the decline, local membership which once topped 687 early in the last century, now stands at less than a dozen.

8 Totoro Custom Toys
Our parents had Micky Mouse and Bugs Bunny. And while those characters (and many more) are timeless, we have our own generation's mascots in Super Mario and Totoro, the titular forest spirit from Studio Ghibli's My Neighbor Totoro. So it only makes sense that toy customizers would create plush and plastic tributes to Totoro. Hit the link for our top eight Totoro custom toys.
Whitney Dail Yoerger's take on Totoro has a really nice texture to it. Unlike most Totoro customs, her custom Munny is a girl in a Totoro suit rather than just Totoro himself.
You don't often see big artists like Jon Paul Kaiser using non-Munny or Dunny Kidrobot platforms, but this Foomi is really nice. The super bold strokes make JPK's signature monotone style really pop.
This custom from FAKIR uses the underrated NedZed platform. I never imagined Totoro to be a tattoo enthusiast. Maybe he's just a big fluffy Yakuza.
Heather Hyatt's Zukie is her first custom and it came out super cute. The Zukie's chubby belly and top-heavy head made the platform a great choice for a Totoro custom.
One Japanese icon impersonates another in Fysh Mammal's custom Dunny. This one also gets points for being super shiny.
Jenn and Tony Bot used Dudebox's The Dude platform to create this custom. They covered the figure in polymer clay and then did some sculpting and scoring to make Totoro look furry. And that little mouth. Awww.
Jaykblu takes some creative liberty with his Munny and gives Totoro some enormous eyes. The mini Totoro and the Susuwatari are what really make this custom awesome though.
This custom Dunny from Monstafaktory gets the award for biggest Totoro tongue. It also holds your novelty drink umbrellas.

A U.S. Border Patrol spokesman says country singer Willie Nelson was charged with marijuana possession after 6 ounces was found aboard his tour bus in Texas.
Patrol spokesman Bill Brooks says the bus pulled into the Sierra Blanca, Texas, checkpoint about 9 a.m. Friday. Brooks says an officer smelled pot when a door was opened and a search turned up marijuana.
Brooks says the Hudspeth County sheriff was contacted and Nelson was among three people arrested.
Sheriff Arvin West didn't immediately return a phone message left at his home Friday, but he told the El Paso Times that Nelson claimed the marijuana was his. The singer was held briefly a $2,500 bond before being released.
Nelson spokeswoman Elaine Schock declined to comment when contacted via e-mail by The Associated Press.

2 Responses to "Willie Nelson busted again for pot"
Willie's like a "National Monument"; ie., an icon to country western/folk style music generally with a heartfelt message. He's a gentle soul and his only true love is his music and no doubt a "doob" along with his musical benefit he's provided to our nation over time. There's nobody in the musical domain quite like "Willie Nelson".
The Feds should give Willy a nationwide free pass; ie., 'get out of jail card' concerning his possession of marijuana and allow him to have "Willie Nelson" a 'Bust free zone' stenciled on his RV's. : ))
Carl Nemo **==
Congrats to the U S border patrol out there in west TEXAS, they have now offically stopped the flow of dope coming into our country by busting poor old Willie Nelson for a thimble full of pot. And for all those who believe that statement I will send to each of you free of charge an autographed picture of the EXTRA LARGE snowman I built down in front of the Alamo this past August during the freak snowstorm. It will be autographed by DAVEY CROCKETT by the way. I can't get the picture out of my mind of 15 or twenty cops rumaging thru Willies bus and at the same time droves of illegal aliens and dope smugglers running by looking at the disturbance and laughing their rear ends off. Can't you just picture this? That would make a hell of a cartoon, My only question to the border patrol would be this, Now that you have solved the problem of dope flowing into the US via Mexico by jailing an old seventy some odd year old singer/songwriter, will you no longer need all of those dope sniffing dogs… If yaul decide to retire all those poor old dogs I would be more than happy to provide a good home for one of them, I realize it would be hard for him to forget all those good ole days of sniffing out dope, but I would concentrate him on things like fetching sticks, sitting on command and rolling over getting his belly scratched.

It's a pretty nifty screwball comedy set-up. A man jilted at the altar and a woman trying to ditch her married lover are thrown together in a small cottage in rural Ireland. They start off hating each other and... Well, you can probably work out the rest. The surprises that make Karl Golden's lo-fi rom-com tick are less to do with plot, more to do with tone.
Shaky handheld camerawork and an almost complete lack of incidental music makes this play less like a glossy crowd-pleaser and more like a twitchy reality TV show. The understated performances from Jonathan Byrne and Alex Reid add to the sense of watching something gentler than your standard Hollywood fare. It's a small movie, but the big finish works all the better for it.

Salaamun Alaykum! (Peace be upon you)
A Journey into Islam is an initiative undertaken by the youth of the Az-Zahraa Islamic Centre. Our goal is to create an engaging and informative exhibition that presents our Islam to the community of Greater Vancouver.
We aim to clear misconceptions about our religion and build relationships with other diverse communities through an evening full of interactive exhibits, guided tours of our beautiful centre, and a delectable ethnic dinner.
For the third annual exhibition, we are adding a new flavor; a theme, "Science in Islam." Science plays a vital role in Islamic history and is often overlooked. With this theme, we hope to shed light on important contributions of Muslims and bring a new level of excitement to the event.
