Stefan Matteau has quickly moved up the New Jersey Devils depth chart. He started as an intriguing rookie prospect in training camp, working his way onto the team's fourth line.
After three games in the bottom six, Matteau earned a promotion, debuting tonight on the top line as the New Jersey Devils make their only trip to the Bell Centre against the Montreal Canadiens.
Matteau, born in Chicago, is essentially from Montreal. He has family from Blainville, Ont., about 25 minutes from the arena, expects to have at least 10 members of his family there. It's an opportunity the rookie appreciates.
"It's going to be great for me and my family for sure," he told Tom Gulitti of The Bergen Record. "It's my hometown. I don't know if you can call it a homecoming, but it will be great."
The rookie can lean on Martin Brodeur for dealing with the nerves that come from playing in front of the Bell Centre crowd. The Devils netminder, a Montreal native, is a stellar 19-8-1 with a 1.53 goals-against average and .944 save percentage in Montreal, and still gets nervous before these games.
"You grow up in an area that hockey is everything, so you idolize that team," Brodeur told Gulitti. "For him, it might be different because he spent his younger years traveling in the United States everywhere because his dad played everywhere. But, he's from there (Montreal) and I remember, for me, it was really fun. It was nerve-racking a little bit – just the national anthem and speaking French in the arena, it's just so different than what we're used to here in the states."
The Bell Centre holds special meaning for Brodeur.
"I tied Patrick Roy's record (for most wins on March 14, 2009) there and they gave me a standing ovation," he told Gulitti. "That was probably one of the most fun things that happened to me in that arena. But people there understand the game of hockey, so when good players come, I think they appreciate it."
New Jersey enters the game with a perfect 3-0 record, the first time they've reached that mark since 2002-03. Brodeur has been a big part of that success, allowing just three goals on 71 shots. His .958 save percentage is the third highest in the league. He recorded 26 saves on Friday night, backstopping the Devils to a 3-2 overtime victory over the Washington Capitals.
Ilya Kovalchuk scored the game-winner, blasting a shot from the below the left circle that beat Caps goalie Michal Neuvirth. Stephen Gionta and Patrik Elias also scored for New Jersey, who have at least one goal from five different players.
After dropping its season opener, Montreal enters today riding a two-game win streak. The Canadiens defeated the Capitals, 4-1, Thursday night at the Verizon Center in Washington, DC. Montreal scored all of its goals in the second period, including three in the first ten minutes, to bury Washington.
Montreal is second in the NHL in goals against, allowing just four in its three games played.
The Canadiens will be without Max Pacioretty, who underwent an emergency appendectomy and will miss the next three-to-four weeks. He had four assists and 10 shots this season.
The Devils have won eight straight at the Bell Centre. Their last loss came on March 11, 2008.
Here's a look at last season's matchup:
December 10, 2011: Canadiens – 2, Devils – 1 @ Prudential Center
The two teams kicked off the season series on a slow note, failing to score in the first period. Pacioretty netted the series first goal in the second period, giving Montreal an early advantage. Erik Cole added to the lead in the third period, pushing the advantage to two. Nick Palmieri cut the Devils deficit in half, but New Jersey couldn't overcome Carey Price. The Montreal goalie stopped 28 shots for the win. Brodeur made 22 saves in the loss.
December 17, 2011: Devils – 5, Canadiens – 3 @ Bell Centre
New Jersey got its revenge in the rematch between the two teams just one week later. Petr Sykora started the scoring, giving New Jersey a 1-0 lead after the first period. The teams combined for five goals in the middle frame, and entered the third period tied, 3-3. The Devils took over after that, with Elias and Dainius Zubrus netting goals to pull New Jersey ahead. Price allowed all five goals, finishing with 30 saves. Brodeur stopped 23 of 26 shots.
February 2, 2012: Devils – 5, Canadiens – 3 @ Prudential Center
nNew Jersey once again hung five goals on the Canadiens, but the final result masks the difficult win for the Devils. They fell behind quickly, with David Desharnais and Andrei Kostitsyn scoring to put the Devils in a 2-0 hole in the opening frame. Zach Parise cut the deficit in half, and the Devils ended the first period trailing, 2-1. Matthieu Darche pushed Montreal's lead back to two goals with a shorthanded tally just 1:35 into the second period. New Jersey roared back, scoring four unanswered goals to skate away with the win. Price finished with just 17 saves in the loss. Brodeur stopped 27 of 30 shots in the win.
February 19, 2012: Devils – 3, Canadiens – 1 @ Bell Centre
New Jersey won the final game of the season series, needing only three goals to stretch unbeaten streak at the Bell Centre. Parise, David Clarkson and Matt Taormina all scored for the Devils. Pacioretty tallied the lone goal for Montreal. New Jersey defeated Price for the third straight time, with the Canadiens goalie stopping 22 shots in the loss. Brodeur made 21 saves for the win.

The spread of antibiotic-resistant bacteria could be wider than previously thought, say University of Saskatchewan researchers who discovered the organism in a frozen squid purchased in Saskatoon.
It's the first instance of finding antibiotic-resistant bacteria in food, says Western College of Veterinary Medicine assistant professor Joe Rubin, who co-authored a study published in the Centre for Disease Control journal Emerging Infectious Diseases.
"While this certainly is a troubling finding, we don't know how widespread these organisms are in these niche market food products or how they got there, so expanding our surveillance programs is our best next step to address these questions," Rubin said.
The discovery:
Researchers bought several items from a Chinese grocery store in Saskatoon. They found a bacteria called Pseudomonas, which produces an enzyme called carbapenemase, in a frozen squid believed to be imported from South Korea.
"The carbapenemases allow bacteria to be resistant to the most commonly used and last-line-of-defence drugs we have for treating infections in people," Rubin said.
"If we see increasing resistance to these compounds, it's a really serious threat to public health. We want to make sure we don't have untreatable infections."
The concern:
It's not one kind of bacteria that worries researchers — it's the transmission of the genes between different kinds of bacteria that could be a problem.
"Bacteria can share DNA with each other," Rubin said. "They can swap pieces of DNA and express those genes. The real problem is that these genes are potentially available to pathogenic bacteria that may be more likely to cause disease."
The Pseudomonas that researchers found is not a common cause of disease, but it could be a problem for people with impaired immune systems.
"The real concern is that if somebody was to eat this organism and it was to get into the gastro-intestinal tract, it might share those resistance genes with other bacteria in there," Rubin said. "Maybe the gene goes into an E. coli and causes a urinary tract infection which is resistant to treatment."
The history:
Warnings about "superbugs" are increasing, as is the attention from the international medical community. The CDC estimates the infections kill 23,000 U.S. residents every year.
"Until very recently, and it's still largely the case, the biggest risk factor was travel history, so people who've travelled to areas where these resistance organisms are much more common," Rubin said.
"We're also seeing hospital outbreaks. What we're worried about with this finding is that now we're expanding the potentially exposed segment of the population. It's not just if you've travelled or been hospitalized, it might be people purchasing certain products from the grocery store."
The safety:
Rubin doesn't want to scare people away from eating seafood or other potentially contaminated food. The best defence is smart food preparation, he said.
"People need to continue to be vigilant with food hygiene. Transmission can be prevented by making sure we don't cross-contaminate raw meat and ready-to-eat food," Rubin said. "We need to use different cutting boards, make sure we're washing hands and cleaning kitchen surfaces and making sure food is cooked to a proper internal temperature."
Researchers aren't sure how the bacteria got into the squid.
"Potentially it picked it up from its environment; maybe it was cross contamination during processing or shipping or cross contamination at the retail level," Rubin said. "There are complexities that have yet to be investigated."
The next step:
These are early findings, and Rubin plans to do more research.
"That's where we are going — trying to identify what the risk is to human health," he said. "Is it just an interesting and incidental finding, or does it have some real implications?
Rubin is working with federal public health scientists to develop a strategy to determine how widespread the organisms are and how they are entering the food chain. The first step is a study with samples from across Canada from different locations.
"We need to know if we're dealing with a larger phenomenon or an isolated incident so we can develop some intervention strategies," he said.

It's Black History Month, and one thing that I often see get lost every February is the history of Afro-Latin@s. Certainly Latino organizations and activism have a long, long ways to go here. But the always awesome Alt.Latino is an exception, and their Black History Month show – featuring Feministing Five alum Bianca Laureano of the LatiNegr@s Project – inspired me to put together a list of Afro-Latina women in music.
It's nearly impossible to overstate the enormous contributions of the African diaspora to Latin music, and Afro-Latinas in particular have had and continue to have a huge influence on the Latin@ musical landscape. Below you'll find a little sampling of a vast landscape of Afro-Latinas in music – from legendary mujeres to newer acts currently perfecting their gorgeous craft. Of course, these are just a few folks picked out of the rich and diverse musical traditions of Afro-Latinas, traditions with long histories that couldn't possibly be covered in a single blog post.
First, let's start with a few legends…
La Lupe
This Afro-Cubana – known as the Queen of Latin Soul – made music that was sexy and rebellious, plowing right through the taboos of 1960s Latin America (even if they weren't really ready for that jelly). I love her unapologetic sexuality, the raw energy of her incredible voice. It's hard to pick just one song, but her version of Fever holds a special place in my heart.
Alt.Latino actually did a whole show about Lupe a few weeks back – definitely check it out.
Celia Cruz
The Queen of Salsa, Celia almost needs no introduction – she's on a postage stamp, and she even got her very own awesome Google doodle – but suffice it to say that she was one of the most influential musicians of her time and continues to be influential over a decade after her death. Also known for her boss fashions and colorful wigs, there is very little not to love about Celia. Warning, this video gets a little NSFW at the end!
Mariah Carey
Did y'all know that Mariah's dad is Afro-Venezuelan? Mariah is everything in the whole damn world, from those killer pipes to the sheer mastery she displays in throwing shade. As with any legend, it's hard to pick just one song, but this one A) is awesome B) has a video in which Mariah is cross-dressing which is obviously amazing C) displays her epic shade throwing mastery (in this particular instance thrown in Eminem's general direction).
Now, while las reinas have their crowns for a reason, it's also super important to shout out Afro-Latinas making their way right now, and lord there are so many newer and great Afro-Latina music makers these days:
Xenia Rubinos
Xenia's album Magic Trix was one of my favorites of 2013, so much that right after I got out from being arrested in a civil disobedience I ran my tired ass across town to see Xenia play a short set. Damn, it was worth it. As I ran into the venue, she was playing Cherry Tree, this beautiful song about the work of forgetting someone she's not quite ready to forget, but has to. The emotion in her voice, her lyrics, those layered beats – clearly so much talent here, and I can't wait to see how she develops.
Goyo Martínez of ChocQuibTown
This Colombian hip hop group is great, and Goyo Martínez is badass in it. I love that they're not afraid to get political, calling out the ways political corruption and racism play out for them. This song about the resilience of their communities is what's up.
Lido Pimienta
I caught onto Lido Pimienta through this sweet song about spending a beautiful night with a lover you won't see again, wishing it won't end – set to Caribbean rythms that feel like home and with a video featuring colorful art and queer Latino love. A week ago she put out a few awesome new tracks from a recent recording session, which you can download here.
This New York City Dominicana is the shit and she knows it. This song hasn't really left the rotation for me over the last few years – it just never fails to make me feel awesome.
La Yegros
La Yegros' approach to cumbia and her distinctive use and mastery of her voice have kept me coming back to last years' Viene De Mi.
Rapper Gabylonia, my paisana from Venezuela, is fire. This track about youth protest to the racialized abuse of power by the police (which Venezolanos Apache y Canserbero have tackled as well) is excellent.
Verónica is going to attempt to keep warm today by dancing to these jams.

Has the advancement of medicine halted human evolution?
There are around 7 billion people in the world. Now how many of the 7 billion would actually survive without modern medicine? Of course, I do not have that number to tell you nor can I think of any sort of algorithm to be able calculate that due to the complexity of the question; but it is something to think about.
Undeniably, the world is keeping the ill alive. In return, the genes that are predisposed to being ill are passed onto the next generation. These 'illness' genes live on. But medicine will advance so that those most of these illnesses won't become a major factor in one's life.
Now let's return back to the theoretical world without medicine. Countless people die. The strong survive. The stronger genes survive. Cycles of generations pass and genes become stronger than the previous generation.
Imagine 50 cycles of generations later in both scenarios: the one with medicine and the one without medicine. Now take away medicine from the world that had medicine. Which group, as a whole, do you think has a stronger immune system and are more fit for the survival?
A friend of mine asked me, "why are you premed and why do you want to be a doctor?" In short, I told him I want to help people. Then I dug deeper to see if that was the right thing to do. I also happened to be taking a biology course and we were covering speciation, natural selection, and evolution. I reached a conclusion that medicine is keeping the ill alive and in a sense, harming the direction and potential of human evolution. Then I started asking myself how other factors impact this question such as morality, socioeconomic status, technology, and much more. My ideas started to clash and that's why I found this topic so interesting. Are we satisfied with our species' capabilities? Is it right to ever be satisfied with our species? How distant in the future are we willing to care about? I want to hear what you think. I'd like to further give my opinion but this message is limiting my words.

Aug 8 2011: This idea is amazing. Another view could be that the human race has reached its peak in evolution. After gene therapy & modification, we literally rule over diseases/congenital anomalies. Population explosion has begun. On basis of a time line, graphically population would be represented by a j shaped curve. We are approaching the peak of the curve. After the peak, there is only one possibility, a sudden downfall of our species. In that case, either earth would be destroyed, or most probably, a new species will take over the earth. So the crux is that nature always has its own way of controlling life!

Supreme Court Decision in U.S. v. Castleman Will Save Women's LivesPosted byon March 28, 2014 at 2:23 PM EDT
This week, the Supreme Court decided a case that will save women's lives.
Back in 1996, Congress made it a crime for anyone convicted of a misdemeanor crime of domestic violence to possess a gun. As Vice President Biden has often noted, there is a direct connection between gun violence and domestic violence: when a domestic abuser has a gun, a victim is 12 times more likely to die than when he doesn't.
Some courts, however, have set a high bar for what counts as a "misdemeanor crime of domestic violence" – which has meant that many domestic abusers have been allowed to keep their guns.
But in United States v. Castleman (written by Justice Sotomayor), the Court changed all that. It recognized that domestic violence is a unique kind of crime that doesn't always fit everyone's idea of what's "violent": often, it can involve pushing, grabbing, shoving, scratching, or hair pulling – and which, over time, can "subject one intimate partner to the other's control." The Court also recognized that, in a number of states, these acts are prosecuted as crimes of "offensive touching" – which, before this week, meant some courts didn't consider them to be domestic violence. But now, according to the Court, that's enough to subject a convicted domestic abuser to the federal gun ban.
This is a landmark opinion. As so many abused women know, what happens to them is a far cry from "offensive touching." It is terrifying and debilitating, and can rob her of all manner of trust, security, and hope. It can make her – as the Vice President has also said – a prisoner in her own home. But at least now, the law recognizes that those who are convicted of these crimes have no business having a gun.

Ending Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault in the United StatesPosted byon March 20, 2014 at 2:17 PM EDT
Ed. note: This is cross-posted on The White House Blog. See the original post here.
This week, I was honored to join a first-of-its-kind meeting at the White House: a roundtable of business leaders and advocates called upon to discuss building public-private partnerships aimed at helping end domestic violence and sexual assault in the United States. The meeting served as an opportunity to share strategies and concrete steps companies can take to address violence in their workplaces and communities.
During the gathering, we heard from several companies that are working to improve the status quo, including Avon, Macy's, Allstate, Viacom, and Kaiser Permanente.
The need for action could not be more urgent. According to the Centers for Disease Control, one in five women is the victim of rape or attempted rape in her lifetime. In fact, 60% of Americans 15 years of age or older know a victim of domestic violence or sexual assault.
Not only does domestic violence affect victims and families; it can also harm entire communities and the nation. More than 8 million paid days of work are lost every year because of domestic violence, and even by conservative estimates, domestic violence costs our economy more than $8 billion a year in lost productivity, health, and mental health costs alone.
New Chicago Shelter Will Help Victims of Domestic Violence Rebuild Their Lives in SafetyPosted byon November 26, 2013 at 6:14 PM EDT
Yesterday, Vice President Biden delivered remarks at the groundbreaking ceremony for Chicago's first new domestic violence shelter in over a decade. Wings Metro, a state-of-the-art facility, will increase the number of available beds in the city by 36% and expects to serve 100 families in its first year of operation after it opens its doors in June 2014.
The creation of this shelter comes at a needed time in Chicago. In 2012, there were 51,174 reported domestic incidents in the city. In addition, 56% of women in homeless shelters in Chicago stated they had been victims of domestic violence, with 22% reporting domestic violence as the immediate cause of their homelessness.
In his remarks, Vice President Biden asked us all to imagine "how cold today feels to the woman who is sleeping in a park with her four children because she had to run out in the night." Wings Metro will go a long way to support survivors like this woman and will reduce family homelessness in Chicago. The shelter, which was developed through the collaboration of Women in Need Growing Stronger (WINGS), Metropolitan Family Services, and the Greater Southwest Development, will increase the number of available beds in the city from 112 to 152 and will provide comprehensive services to survivors and their children. The Vice President noted in his remarks that this new facility is about more than just shelter—it is about giving survivors access to the services, privacy, and job training they need to rebuild their lives.
The Vice President was joined by Mayor Rahm Emmanuel and Senator Dick Durbin, both of whom have shown a strong commitment to the fight against domestic violence. Since being elected mayor of Chicago in 2011, Mayor Emmanuel has committed to expand funding for domestic violence services. He has dedicated $123,000 to provide court advocates to assist an additional 1,500 survivors as they go through the legal proceedings of their cases. Senator Durbin was one of the leading House sponsors of the original Violence Against Women Act; he has continued to be a strong supporter of the legislation after his election to the Senate.
Supporting Workplaces in Providing an Effective Response to Domestic Violence, Sexual Assault, and StalkingPosted byon November 20, 2013 at 8:22 PM EDT
Ed. note: This is cross-posted from the Office on Violence Against Women Blog. Read the original post here.
It is with great pride that I share the announcement of the new DOJ policy on addressing domestic violence, sexual assault, and stalking in the workplace. Given the seriousness of these crimes and their impact on employees, we believe this is an important step toward creating a workplace that is safe for all staff. Deputy Attorney General James Cole announced the release of the policy at OVW's Domestic Violence Awareness Month event earlier today. DOJ is the first major federal agency to submit a final workplace policy in response to the Presidential memorandum.
It is our sincere hope that this new policy will be used by other federal agencies, as well as private sector workplaces, as a model for developing a comprehensive workplace response that values the safety needs of survivors.
One-third of women killed in U.S. workplaces were killed by a current or former intimate partner according to one multi-year study. Another study found that nearly one in four large private industry establishments reported at least one incidence of domestic violence, including threats and assaults.
Domestic violence, sexual assault, and stalking does not stop when a survivor arrives at work. The violence is devastating for victims and takes a toll on the entire workplace as victims are often traumatized, harassed and terrified by abusers while at work. In fact, domestic violence victims lose a total of nearly 8 million days of paid work each year—the equivalent of more than 32,000 full-time jobs as a result of the violence they experience. Victims are often forced to take time off work to go to court to obtain a restraining order or to seek medical and mental health care. Many are forced to leave their jobs altogether. Perpetrators also lose productivity by stalking, calling, and badgering victims – often on company time and using company resources like phones, the internet, and company cars. The CDC estimates that intimate partner violence, which includes rape, physical assault, and stalking, costs $1.8 billion in lost workplace productivity each year.
Comprehensive Immigration Reform: Survivors Can't Afford to WaitPosted byon November 5, 2013 at 2:10 PM EDT
Domestic Violence Awareness Month has ended, but our work to end abuse continues. Today, in this country, women and children continue to suffer from unspeakable violence because they are afraid to seek help without legal status. When immigrant survivors of abuse without legal status are, according to one study, half as likely to call the police to seek the help they need, we must act.
Since it was first signed into law in 1994, the Violence Against Women Act or VAWA has recognized the need for special protections for immigrant survivors of abuse, including self-petitions and categories of visas for victims of violent crimes and human trafficking. But while VAWA includes key provisions to help immigrant survivors, it is not enough.
Now, Congress has the opportunity to take an important step towards protecting victims, and supporting law enforcement to create safer communities for all Americans. Commonsense immigration reform would significantly benefit immigrant women all over the country. The Senate has already passed an immigration reform bill by a wide, bipartisan majority. And Democratic leaders have introduced a bill in the House that's similar to the bipartisan Senate bill. So it's up to Republicans in the House to decide whether to move forward with immigration reform. Unlike many other issues in Washington, immigration reform is one that both parties can agree on. Congress must finish the job on commonsense immigration reform.Learn more about Immigration, , Women
Vice President Biden Visits the National Domestic Violence HotlinePosted byon October 31, 2013 at 5:12 PM EDT
Yesterday, Vice President Biden visited the National Domestic Violence Hotline to commemorate Domestic Violence Awareness Month.
Vice President Biden created the National Domestic Violence Hotline in the Violence Against Women Act in 1994 (VAWA) and has long championed the cause of ending domestic violence. The Vice President was accompanied by actress Mariska Hargitay, a key advocate working against abuse. Together Vice President Biden and Mariska toured the Hotline, met with frontline advocates, and observed these life-saving services in action.
The Hotline -- which provides around the clock services in 170 languages -- answered its 3 millionth call this summer. Today, the Hotline receives an average of 22,000 calls a month, and serves as a critical lifeline for women and men experiencing violence. The Hotline can connect callers directly to domestic violence shelters, help victims find legal services, and provide the comfort and support needed in a time of crisis. The Vice President announced the Hotline's expansion to new digital services that will allow victims and survivors to reach out for help through online chatting. This new service helps survivors reach out for help in the way they feel the most comfortable. One chatter said: "I feel so much better now…I wish everyone knew about you." We hope that because of the Vice President's visit, more women will reach out for help online. Visit www.thehotline.org for more information.
Vice President Biden also announced a grant of $500,000 from the Department of Justice for the National Dating Abuse Helpline, also operated by the Hotline. The Helpline is geared towards teens and young adults, and is available 24/7 by text, chat, and phone. Two years ago, the Vice President kicked off the Helpline's text messaging services, and last year, the Helpline was contacted by nearly 40,000 teens and young adults seeking information and support. During his visit, the Vice President met with the peer advocates working on the Helpline, and thanked them for their incredible work.Learn more about Women

I did something adventurous on Thursday. I tried duck. And I liked it!
For the first time ever I ate meat beyond chicken and turkey. Because that's all I've ever eaten and refuse to eat others. It was the way I was brought up. And when you grow up like that, you don't have a desire to eat it when you're older.
I honest to god hate meat eaters who go all nuts and think I'm missing out on life because I've never had a hamburger and was raised primarily vegetarian. It's not a big deal. I would be dead if it wasn't an option. I could always turn the tables and say the same shit. But I don't and I respect people's food choices. It's fucking dumb. I'm happy with my food choices. So go fuck yourself.
Anyways, I was bold and I tried something new. And I was comfortable to try suck because it's white meat and falls under the bird category. I'm not going to try red meat though. Because I respect my parents enough to fulfill this wish. They raised me this way due to their religious beliefs. I don't believe in their things but still. And I'm not missing out. It's a fucking cow. I don't regret a single thing.
I won't try seafood either. Because it smells horrible and just ugh. But I'm happy that I'm stepping out of my comfort zone food-wise and am willing to try something new. I can happily add duck to the list of meats I eat. It's a small step to everyone else, but it's a big one for me.

Tile Vault: 8 Best Tiled Bathrooms
From LA Housetours
For the start of bathroom design month decided to comb through some past house tours to round up some inspiring tile ideas. In going back through we expected to find a larger range of tiles (especially more subway tiles) but what we actually found were that those small square tiles are everywhere. And even though we think of them as being pretty modern we found them popping up in all kinds of different bathrooms: from Stacy's ornate gilded bathroom to Eric and Christine's luxurious (almost) outdoor shower.
Kelly's Modern Craftsman has a more subdued all white square tile on the wall next to the bathtub and then some larger scale marble tiles on the floor.
Eric and Christine's Spacious Pad
9 Comments
I used these in the bathroom and kitchen. It is a great DIY alternative because there is not a lot of cutting. You can just snip the glass tiles to the right length. I even used them at the fireplace. mosaictilesupplies.com has some really cheap ones and nice ones too. I went for the cheap.
I love little penny tiles, but using tiny tiles on such large bathroom surfaces is... a bit overwhelming for me.
Those are pretty bathrooms, I think. But my god, but can you guys fix the slideshows? It's been months since you started this new design, and it's even worse than the old java applet. They are the most painful things to deal with, and one of the pleasant web experience of any current website I visit. Hint - the thumbnails should not redraw themselves, above the photo one is viewing, so as to obscure what the user is trying to see. (Don't worry -- it's possible to do it so it's easy to see, and still display ads every page. Really.)
I find most of the pictured bathrooms to be hideous or off in some way. Argh. One should not use the same tile on the floor for the sink surface or backsplash. It unifies the floor with the countertops and creates a mental connection between germs on the floor with the rest of the surfaces.
The only one I really like is the nice green tub/shower enclosure (see no similar tiles on the floor?) that evokes an indoor/outdoor feel.
In my opinion, the only time the same tile should be used for three planes or more is when one is designing a bathroom with an unenclosed shower.
the tile in half of these bathrooms are not very impressive- there must be better examples than this. i love a big white subway tile though because i agree, little tiles everywhere can get very overwhelming
Instead of just choosing random bathrooms as "best tiled bathrooms", why not let your readers submit their own pics and then decide (or let your readers decide)?
That first bathroom is lovely - except for the crazy clutter of soaps, shampoos and exfoliants...
...I really like the green one too - but my fave is the second to last with that grand rococco-gold mirror, nickel sconces iridescent tiles and plentiful niches for the inevitable bottles of body goo - That one's going in my inspiration file.
They're all nice however the all white ones are TOO white for my taste but I like the overall execution them, the powder room the best and I'd use the tile to add the pop of color, say for the long counter in the white half bath of say blue or red/orange or something instead of all white mosaic tiles.
The top one I like for it's random blue/white scheme, the roccoco one w/ the random blue mosaic for the tile work itself and the tub but I think the one I like the most is the green one and I'm not really a green person, but it's the overall execution and style of that space that works for me.
I LOVE the boxes over the toilet in the last one. Any idea where those are from or has anyone seen boxes similar to those?

MEXICO CITY -- A man with a mysterious bulge under his T-shirt was stopped, searched and detained at Mexico City's international airport after authorities found 18 tiny endangered monkeys in a girdle he was wearing.
The Public Safety Department said in a statement Monday that 38-year-old Roberto Cabrera arrived on a commercial flight Friday from Lima, Peru, when authorities noticed the bulge and conducted a body search.
Two of the monkeys were dead.
Cabrera was arrested on charges of trafficking an endangered species.
Cabrera told authorities he was carrying the monkeys in a suitcase but decided to put them in his girdle "so the X-rays wouldn't hurt them."
Many species of titi monkeys, a species from South America, are in an endangered animal list by the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora.
The Mexican government recently restricted imports of primates.

those shelves usually have threaded holes in the bottom usually, so a post type castor should thread right in.
Lowes carries them in the stores. They are Waxman 2 inch rubber swivel casters. They sell for $4.28 each and every wheel has a lock on it. They make a non locking version as well and they sell a 3 inch version for a little more. And yes, they screw right into the bottom of the legs, just screw out the foot and screw them in. They are rated for 80 pounds each so a total of 320 pounds, the shelf itself is rated for 250 pounds per shelf, plenty of weight for a full 15 gallon brew kettle with grains.
I made it easy, I ordered it all online and did the in store pickup so they would gather everything together for me. Home Depot sells almost the same exact shelf at around the same price, but they do not carry them in the stores and I didn't feel like waiting.

Artist Interview with David ChoeJuxtapoz // Monday, 09 Mar 2009
David Choe (Juxtapoz cover #72) is the type of balls-out artist who makes waves wherever he goes. If you're like us, you've watched his progression as an artist over the years, from his incarceration in Japan to selling out any show in which he participates.
In this 3-part interview series by Walrus TV, David Choe shares his thoughts on everything from how he got his start using spray paint, to his diverse techniques of warfare, to his feelings about prayer (yes, he prays- but not as much as his mother does for him.)
Watch all three video interviews with David Choe here…
This interview is a taste of what's to come in the upcoming viewing of Upper Playground Presents - Dirty Hands: The Art and Crimes of David Choe.
In this award winning film, Choe's hard work and radical antics have been recorded by Harry Kim, who follows David Choe's trail- documenting eight years of mayhem and artistic awesomeness.
The film helps to express Choe's unwillingness to grow up, his struggle to make it as an artist and his fight to hold on to his sanity for his life and burgeoning art career.
The film is part of the San Francisco Asian American Film Festival and Bay Area residents can enter to win two sets of tickets to the film from Upper Playground.

Rolling up the good old hose or putting away the chainsaw is a must after a long days works in the yard. Leave it unraveled and someone is sure to trip over it, get snagged and fall face first into the teeth of that gas powered saw. Okay, so were of the doomsday mentality, or we just think holiness is cleanliness, but in either case it's a good reason to get yourself one of these: the Pack-Away Bucket – provided you subscribe to one of the two aforementioned reasons.
So the idea is nothing new. In fact, our GadgetReview kitchen drawer includes a folding funnel of the same ilk. However, the folding bucket maybe the best use yet. It comes in a variety of colors, folds up when not in uses and can be easily hung on a wall or slipped underneath any shelf since it collapses to a tenth of its original size, if not smaller. But that's not the only upside. The Pack-Away bucket is made from rubber, so it won't rust, get misshaped, ding or crack.
You can grab one for about $28. It comes in red, green, blue and black.

Bethany Hawke is Hawke's younger sister and Carver's fraternal twin. Bethany is an apostate mage; she received her magical training from her father, who was also an apostate.
She will accompany Hawke if he/she chooses the Warrior or Rogue class role at the beginning of the game.
any will have one of several facial structures and hair styles, depending on the customization result of the player's character. The selection works as follows:
There are three base facial shapes that each family member can have. Hawkes using the default Hawke appearance or any of the first three presets will get the first head shape, Hawkes using the second three presets will get the second head shape, and Hawkes using the final three presets (or any modded presets past that) will get the third shape.
Each of the three head shapes has three variations - one with a pale skintone, one with a medium skintone, and one with a dark skintone, and each with a different hairstyle. Which of these variations is used by the game depends on Hawke's skintone; the first four skin tones will result in the light-skinned version of Bethany, the second four in the medium-skinned version, and the final four in the dark-skinned version. All versions of Bethany will have black hair. The same applies for Carver and Leandra.
During Varric's initial recount of a warrior/rogue Hawke's flight from Lothering, Bethany will appear with her default face/hair and an enhanced bosom.

TEAMS: New England Patriots, Oakland Athletics
Sebastian Vollmer is expected to be one of the NFL's premier free agents this offseason. But before getting his next contract settled, Vollmer first had to square away some physical ailments, Vollmer underwent arthroscopic knee surgery on Wednesday, according to Karen Guregian of the Boston Herald, which could explain the right tackle's struggles toward the end of the season. The surgery usually involves a pretty short recovery time, which should see Vollmer ready in time for organized training activities (OTAs) this offseason. While the surgery is a positive step for Vollmer and a likely indicator for his production drop off late last season, it only raises more concerns for a player already riddled with injury history. Vollmer will be looking for a long-term contract, either from the Patriots or another team this offseason, and this newest issue paired with his history of knee and back problems could see his stock devalued on the market. When healthy Vollmer is arguably the best ...

Celebrate the 85th anniversary of the Gardens with live carillon concerts performed and arranged by Carillonneur Geert D'hollander.
In keeping with Edward Bok's enduring interest in nature, the Gardens will present 2,500 longleaf pine seedlings to visitors to plant at home, following a special tree planting ceremony at 2 p.m. The trees serve as a memento of the anniversary and a tangible way to follow the advice given to a young Edward by his grandmother to "make you the world a bit better or more beautiful because you have lived in it."
Join us in celebrating our 85th anniversary with a weekend of up-close-and-personal experiences at the Gardens. We will be open free of charge on Saturday, February 1 in honor of this special occasion, with a variety of activities taking place throughout the weekend.

His confession helped bring down "Junk Bond King" Michael Milken.

The one where we talk about September's UK birds, ask whether if Buff-breasted Sandpipers become common they'd ever be 'trash', again highlight the awful illegal trapping situation on Cyprus and Malta and ask whether boycotts could work, and we ask whether (with the number of people on the planet reaching 7 billion this month) conservation organisations ought to be talking about over-population. We also have a pre-recorded interview with Tristan Reid and his partner Kath – plus Ceri Levy of 'Ghosts of Gone Birds – about his latest tattoo, and a second with two Bird Guides from Australia's Northern Territory.

Show Notes
And your Panel today consists of…
- Charlie Moores, a freelance writer and podcaster (and now sadly intermittent birder) who either lives in a warm little cottage in north Wiltshire with his family or in a cold 'podding shed' editing an endless series of podcasts that more and more people appear to now be listening to.
- John Hague, a birding psychiatric nurse from Barnsley who now lives in Leicester where he's a prominent member of the Leicester and Rutland Ornithological Society. John blogs extensively at The Drunkbirder where he rants "about the world and the absurdities of life".
- Tom McKinney, the Derbyshire-based birder and award-winning musician who founded The House of Bedlam and gigs as part of Tango 5, and author of the much-missed Skills Bills blog. Tom now blogs weekly at Birdingblogs.com/TomMcKinney.
- Nick Moran, an expat Yorkshireman living in Norfolk, where he runs BirdTrack at the BTO. Nick spent most of the noughties birding and occasionally teaching Biology in China and the UAE; he is an OSME Council member and secretary and voting member on the Emirates Bird Records Committee which keeps him in touch with Middle East birding.

In further attempts to stifle public awareness of the dangers of fracking, energy companies have been issuing gag orders on families who contract with them. The gag orders cover everyone in the family, including children. Drilling company Range Resources offered $750,000 to a Pennsylvania family to move from their home with one catch: the family, and their kids, were not to say a word.
"These gag orders are the reason [drillers] can give testimony to Congress and say there are no documented cases of contamination," said Earthworks organizer Sharon Wilson.

Red Cross Presents Dunkin' Donuts with Good Neighbor Award
New York-Penn
The American Red Cross Blood Services, New York-Penn Region and the Greater Rochester Chapter today are pleased to announce that Dunkin' Donuts has been chosen to receive the first statewide Red Cross Good Neighbor Award. The award recognizes an individual, organization or business outside of the American Red Cross that has made a significant humanitarian contribution to the local community in support of the Red Cross.
"The New York Penn Blood Region and the Greater Rochester Red Cross are thrilled to honor Dunkin' Donuts franchise owners for their support of the American Red Cross," said Kay Schwartz, chief executive officer, American Red Cross Blood Services, New York-Penn Region. "We believe their efforts to sustain our mission makes for a terrific Red Cross Good Neighbor."
Dunkin' Donuts has been a generous community partner of the Red Cross. For two years they hosted the "Give a Pint, Get a Pound" initiative in January which is National Volunteer Blood Donor Month. Dunkin' Donuts provided a coupon for a free pound of coffee for every presenting blood donor. Both years the program helped the Red Cross exceed its goals despite January traditionally being a difficult collection month. In fact, because of this initiative our region saw a 46 percent increase in donations from January 2007 – January 2008, the first year it ran. And in 2009, the region had an 18 percent increase over 2008.
The East Avenue and Buffalo Road Dunkin Donuts stores also worked with the Greater Rochester Chapter to host "Get to Know a Hero" coffee hours, providing free drinks to anyone who registered as a new volunteer - helping us to recruit 19 new volunteers in less than 2 months. Since 2007, Dunkin Donuts has been a major contributor to Greater Rochester's largest fundraising event – the Fire and Ice Benefit Auction.
