You are one of the best things that have ever happened to me, Britt. But no, I don't like that you're here. I wish you weren't here.
You're kidding, right? Please say you are.
Hmmmm. Probably a tigress or something.
Mulan. She's always been my role model — she is probably the bravest girl I've known other than my madre.
…oh, and Rachel.
You mean as in type of boy/girl? Well uh, I don't really have any physical preferences to be quite honest since I could say I like blondes then fall in love with a brunette, for instance. There's no point on that.
As of other than physical features, I like people who don't underestimate me, who is aware of my gifts as well as of my flaws. I like someone who makes me laugh, feel loved, proud and especially comfortable, someone who reminds me what it's like to feel like home. I like someone brave, a fighter, someone who doesn't give up easily, someone who's there for me through thick and thin.
I love it when it smells like rain.
While I have never considered that idea being stuck in this place, I say whatever happens it's okay with me. I would love having my own children, yet I'm not opposed to adopting either.
slave4you-brittany replied to your post: So I'm probably going to be around from…
Say she's sick?
Then she'd have to be sick for a very long time and it would be unrealistic hahaha but thanks for your suggestion honey :3
Maybe she's suffering the same fate as Rachel was?
What do you mean honey? I'm loooost ;_;

Ingredients For the Potatoes:
1 1/2 lbs russet potatoes
1/4 cup half and half
2oz unsalted butter
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon
black pepper
1 egg yolk
For the Filling:
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 cup chopped onion
1 cup diced carrots
3 cups chopped cabbage
2 cloves of garlic minced
1/2 lb cooked corned beef, diced small
2 tablespoons all purpose flour
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 cup beef broth
Directions: Peel the potatoes and cut into 1/2 inch diced. Place in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water. Set over high heat, cover and bring to a boil. Once boiling, uncover lower the heat to maintain a simmer and cook until tender and easily pierced with a fork, approximately 10-15 minutes. Place the half and half and butter into a bowl and heat in the microwave until warm about 45 seconds. Drain the potatoes in a collander and then return to the saucepan.

Congressman Buck McKeon Introduces Legislation To Honor Conservationist [1]
Congressman Buck McKeon and Senator Barbara Boxer have introduced legislation to rename Peak 12,240 in Mono County "Mt. Andrea Lawrence," in memory of the late Andrea Lawrence - a conservationist, three-time Olympian and member of the Mono County Board of Supervisors.
"Andrea Lawrence's life centered on mountains, first as a talented Olympic skier and then as a dedicated conservationist who worked to protect the Eastern Sierra," said Boxer. "Andrea's spirit and accomplishments were both larger than life, which is why it is so fitting to name this majestic peak after her."
Andrea Lawrence was a three-time Olympian who remains the only American double gold medalist in alpine skiing. She was inducted into the U.S. National Ski Hall of Fame in 1958 at the age of 25, and in 2002, sports documentarian Bud Greenspan called her "the greatest Olympian of all time."
"By naming a peak for Andrea Lawrence, we will celebrate her accomplishments as an Olympian and honor her service as an advocate for conservation in the Eastern Sierra," said McKeon. "Andrea had the true Olympic spirit and worked tirelessly to protect Mono Lake and then expanded her mission to confront challenges to the entire Eastern Sierra. I am proud to introduce this legislation with Senator Boxer to honor the life of a great American and committed conservationist."
Lawrence was also a committed conservationist who worked to protect and restore Mono Lake and reduce air pollution in the Great Basin. She served for 16 years on the Mono County Board of Supervisors and in 2003 founded the Andrea Lawrence Institute for Mountains and Rivers to work for environmental protection and economic vitality in the region. Lawrence passed away on March 31, 2009.
Peak 12,240, currently only identified by its elevation, is located in Mono County near the Tuolumne County border. It is located on the border of the Ansel Adams Wilderness and just east of Yosemite National Park. The John Muir trail passes close to the peak.
The Mono County Board of Supervisors, the Wilderness Society, the Sierra Club, the Mono County Democratic Central Committee, the Mammoth Town Council, the Mono Lake Committee, the Andrea Lawrence Institute for Mountains and Rivers, the CEO of the Mammoth Mountain Ski Area, former Mono County Supervisor and local businessmen Tim Alpers and Andrea Lawrence's family all support the legislation.

Here's the official trailer:
Plot summary:
After a series of setbacks leave Yuda homeless and uncertain about his new future, a chance encounter results in him defending the orphaned Astri from becoming the latest victim of a European human trafficking ring led by the wildly psychotic, Ratger and his right-hand man Lars. With Ratger injured in the mêlée and seeking both his "merchandise" and bloody retribution, Yuda's introduction to this bustling city is a baptism of fire as he is forced to go on the run with Astri and her younger brother Adit as all the pimps and gangsters that inhabit the night hound the streets chasing their every step. With escape seemingly beyond their grasp, Yuda has no choice but to face his attackers in an adrenaline charged, jaw-dropping finale.
Well you already read my take on that. Stupid plot for sure. Star character has no movie experience listed by IMDB. Looks like video quality is going to be good. Fight quality from the trailer looks decent, but nothing special. I think they're basically just trying to play off the whole Tony Jaa craze - not a bad move. My main complaint is that a lot of this (the actual fighting, not the beginning sequence) doesn't even look like Silat and I wanted a Silat movie.
To me it looks like Yet Another Martial Arts Movie (YAMAM).
Here's a video demonstrating some Silat stuff (watch the guys in red).. it's mixed with some Kali too:

Volvo Cars of North America will be launching an ongoing program starting September 1 where every purchase of a new Volvo from a participating retailer will net a $10 donation to Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation (ALSF).
Chinese automaker Zhejiang Geely Holding Group spent $1.7 billion last year to acquire Volvo from Ford Motor Co.,and now plans to spend as much as $11 billion on Volvo products and facilities over the next five years.
Doug Speck, CEO of Volvo Cars of North America, says a growth strategy for the United States will be completed by the end of next month. He explains that the plan will call for new vehicles and possibly an American plant.
Speck expects 60,000 to 70,000 cars. He explains there is some uncertainty related to what the effect of the Japanese disaster will be in terms of production. Speck also explained that 2011 sales will be predominantly driven by the S60. Speck said, "We could easily see ourselves selling 15,000 to 20,000 S60s this year — a huge increment year-on-year from that car line".

Face Lift
- bandahanson
- 10 months ago
Look at Bruce Jenner. How about Kenny Rogers? Do you think they went to a non board certified plastic surgeon? Not. And this is the result. There is simply no way to tell whether the person you select is any good. Board Certified? Big deal. I find that designation dubious at best. Does that mean he has done botox injections and 1000 boob jobs and 1 facelift in his/her entire career. You simply don't know. The web sites for these Dr.s, big deal, anyone can photo shop before and after pictures. Internet? Ridiculous I could write a thousand reviews for myself telling everyone how fab I am. Threre really is no peer review on plastic surgeons and that is what makes it so difficult to choose one that knows squat. How about law suits? I'll bet nine times out of 10 the plastic surgeon agrees to give back the money for the patient to agree to drop the suit. I find the whole experience totally depressing.

One of the major problems being experienced by many women all over the world is the presence of the fibroids in the uterus. Uterine fibroids commonly occur in women of childbearing age. About 20% to 40% of the entire female population worldwide is likely to be affected by uterine fibroids. In many cases, surgery is the only treatment which involves the removal of the fibroids or the entire uterus.
Many women suffering from fibroids leave them as is without having them treated, in the belief that the fibroids will shrink in size and will disappear after menopause. However, the risk here is that the fibroids may grow extremely huge prior to menopause until it gives rise to other health conditions. There are also cases when the symptoms get even worse after menopause. It is therefore advisable for post-menopausal women to consult a physician regularly and to have uterine fibroids examined. There is likelihood of fibroids growing into cancerous tumors after menopause. They should then be monitored well after menopause, and treatment must be undertaken. Below are some of the symptoms of the presence of fibroids prior to and after menopause.
Pain and discomfort:
Patients will be experiencing extreme menstrual aches and may also find sexual intercourse painful. Back or spine discomfort will also be experienced, worse after menopause. This is due to the tumors pressing on the other internal organs.
Frequent urination:
The larger fibroids will press on the urinary bladder and this then results in frequent urination. This will be experienced only if the fibroids are huge and are impinging on the bladder.
Abdominal bloat:
The abdominal region would feel bloated, similar to bloating experienced prior to a menstrual period.
Pelvic pressure:
As the fibroids rapidly grow in size, they will start exerting pressure on the pelvic cavity. As the fibroids start pressing on the surrounding internal organs, extreme pain may be felt within the area.
The exact causes of uterine fibroids remain unknown. But it is believed that genetics plays a key role as one of the major causes of these unwanted growths. They feed on blood vessels connected to the uterus, and as estrogen levels increase, they also increase in size. Usually, the fibroids shrink in size and will disappear after menopause because a woman's hormone levels begin to decrease at the onset of menopause. However, in some cases, they will still thrive. For women undergoing HRT (Hormone Replacement Therapy), the uterine fibroids will not shrink in size and disappear after menopause. HRT is often prescribed for women whose hormone levels decline drastically after menopause, such that they experience extreme discomfort; it is also administered to the prematurely or surgically menopausal to prevent dementia and prolong life. On the other hand, those who are not medicating may still have a chance that their fibroids would shrink in size and eventually disappear.
And since not all women would go through the same hormonal changes, it is extremely important for women to have regular physical check-ups even after menopause. If fibroids have already been detected but no surgery is undertaken, the fibroids should be closely and regularly monitored, and this should be done simultaneously with drug therapy.

REU Projects
The Fraden lab is engaged in "lab-on-a-chip" development. We are reducing the size chemistry and biology labs to the micron scale by using the same manufacturing methods that has allowed the semiconductor industry to produce computers whose power double every two years. This technology, known as "soft lithography" is transforming the way chemistry, biology, and the physics of soft condensed matter are practiced.
The project involves design, construction and testing of microfluidic chips, simulation of the physics of the devices using finite element computer simulations, interfacing chips with computers and automating data acquisition based on LabView. The current focus of the lab is building chips for protein crystallization, chemical communication and determining the properties of biological materials such as viruses, DNA and collagen. See movies of the chips in action.
Bob Pelcovits is engaged in numerical simulation studies of liquid crystal systems including confined and chiral systems. These systems include ones composed of biomolecules, and thus are model systems for exploring questions of self-assembly in biological systems. Undergraduates with some programming experience can easily learn the basics of liquid crystal physics and Monte Carlo simulations and begin carrying out an original research project in short order. Pelcovits works closely with the experimental groups of Dogic and Fraden, allowing for direct comparison of the numerical simulation results with experimental data.
The Hagan lab is applying computational and theoretical models to understand dynamical assembly processes, with an emphasis on understanding how molecular scale interactions and constraints, such as chirality, drive the emergence of particular large-scale structures. Projects include the assembly of proteins and nucleic acids to form a virus, as well as the super-assembly of complete viruses to form membranes, twisted ribbons, and other phenomena observed in the Dogic lab. Undergraduates with some programming experience can easily gain a practical understanding of molecular dynamics or Monte Carlo simulations in order to perform original research. The student will gain experience in computational modeling, learn how to develop coarse-grained descriptions of biomolecules, and be introduced to the application of statistical mechanics to understand biological and biomimetic systems.
We are a structural and cell biological lab (Biology Dept.) looking to hire an undergraduate student to help with the computer analysis of electron microscopic data. The job will include using software to reconstruct, model and visualize electron microscopic tomograms (three-dimensional images) of cells. This is also an excellent opportunity to get acquainted with the research in our lab, leading to the possibility of obtaining an undergrad research position/senior thesis. Student must be comfortable in using computers and problem solving, and must be dependable and organized. Find out more about what the lab is doing.
The Goode lab is combining biochemistry, genetics, and total internal reflection fluorescence (TIRF) light microscopy to understand in vitro and in vivo actin polymer dynamics and their regulation by key actin-associated proteins (e.g. formins, Arp2/3 complex, and ADF/cofilin). These projects address the fundamental mechanisms governing catalyzed actin polymer formation, spatial organization, and disassembly, studied on multiple levels: single molecule, single filament, and in living cells. Many of the projects are performed in collaboration with the Dogic, Gelles, and Kondev labs, and thus, there is the opportunity to gain valuable working experience at the interface of Physics and Biology. Undergraduates can easily gain a practical understanding of actin dynamics and contribute to this research, and in the process learn modern methods for biochemical purification of proteins and state-of-the-art light microscope technology. In addition, there are opportunities for students interested in theory and computation to rigorously analyze data and make quantitative models of these processes.
Pattern formation is a key phenomenon in many living systems, particularly in the processes of development and morphogenesis. We have been studying pattern formation in reaction-diffusion systems: simpler, often inorganic, chemical reactions, in which the interplay between nonlinear chemical kinetics and diffusive transport leads to the appearance of traveling waves (typically spirals or concentric circles), stationary Turing patterns (typically stripes or hexagonal arrays of spots) or more complex patterns such as superlattices or spatiotemporal chaos. Most prior studies have looked at pattern formation in simple, homogeneous aqueous solution. We are interested in exploring pattern formation in more complex media, such as emulsions (mixtures of oil, water and surfactant) and hydrogels. Such systems can give rise to more complex pattern formation and have the potential to lead to new materials with novel functional properties. The project involves preparation of new pattern-forming systems and investigation of their behavior.
Our research focuses on the interdisciplinary frontier of materials chemistry. We integrate knowledge and techniques from organic chemistry, materials science, surface chemistry, biochemistry, and nanotechnology to design new biofunctional materials, including nanomaterials, for the exploration in biomedicine (e.g., molecular drug delivery, cancer therapy, biomedical diagnostics, and biomimetics), and other fundamental problems in nanoscience and biological science. We are particularly interested enzyme catalyzed self-assembly of small molecule to create nanostructures inside cells, which offers a unique means for scientists to integrate molecular self-assembly with intrinsic enzymatic reactions inside cells for developing new biomaterials and therapeutics at the supramolecular level, and improving the basic understanding of dynamic molecular self-assembly in water.
The Gelles lab uses optical techniques to study the bending and looping of single DNA molecules by DNA-binding proteins. These mechanical deformations of DNA are essential to mechanisms by which cells switch individual genes on and off. By studying these dynamical processes at the level of single molecules, we hope to understand how fundamental physical phenomena, such as polymer mechanics, elctorstatics, and the scaling properties of one- and three-dimensional diffusion dictate the properties and functioning of the protein and nucleic acid macromolecules that comprise the machinery of life.
The Samadani lab utilizes a multidisciplinary approach, to understand the repair mechanism of the broken chromosomes. By tagging different parts of the chromosome with fluorescent proteins, we are able to visualize the dynamics of these chromosomes before and after induction of a double-strand break. These quantitative measurements are used to formulate a predictive mathematical model of the repair process, based on polymer models of chromosomes. We use microfluidic devices to enable rapid exchange of different media over the cells, thereby allowing precise regulation of the cells microenvironment. These experiments are performed in collaboration with Haber, Kondev, chakraborty and Fraden groups from Biology and Physics departments. During this REU program, undergraduate students will have the opportunity to genetically manipulate the yeast genome, use a research-grade fluorescent microscope to take quantitative images, work with microfluidic devices and write image analysis code.
The Chakraborty group develops mathematical models of complex behavior observed in a wide variety of systems.. The group uses a combination of computational modeling and theory to analyze collective behavior of biologically relevant materials. Projects include (a) the dynamics of polymers under confinement and crowding, (b) the polymerization process of active molecules such as actin and microtubules, and (c) pattern formation in active emulsions. Undergraduates with some programming experience can easily gain a practical understanding of Monte Carlo simulations in order to perform original research. The student will gain experience in numerical simulations, model building and the theoretical tools necessary to understand collective properties of interacting systems.
The Kondev group uses physics models to obtain a quantitative understanding of biological macromolecules, DNA and proteins, and the processes they engage in. Current problems of interest include repair of DNA breaks inside cells, regulation of gene expression, and assembly of cyroskeletal filaments. The work in the group is theoretical with close ties to Biology labs at Brandeis, MIT and Caltech.
Students in the group gain experience in developing theoretical and computational models of biological problems in close collaboration with experimental groups. There are also opportunities for combined experimental and theoretical projects.

Highlights from a collection of "typotecture" curated by Dick Sheaff. More typotecture and other ephemera here.
This "Red Cat Typography Pamphlet," printed in 1992 in Vineburg, California, represents chapter 18 from Theodore Low De Vinne's Correct Composition. First published in 1901, "Errors of the Press" describes the myriad ways things can (and do) go wrong in the publishing process, from author to bookbinder.
"Errors of the press is a convenient phrase, for it carries with it a vague notion that there is in the methods or machinery of printing a perverse tendency to the making of mistakes which are due more to the process than to the man. What is meant by the press is not clear: it seems to be a factor apart from the man, for it is seldom any helper of the press confesses that 'the mistake is mine.' … That no one should be held responsible for some forms of misprint (another convenient phrase) is a comfortable doctrine for the authors, compositors, and proof-readers who work with haste and negligence, for the press is inanimate and cannot respond. The silent are always wrong."

Two specimens of large type in a facsimile specimen book, from the PAPress Design Dept bookshelf. A excerpt from the preface by Richard L. Hopkins:
Specimens from the A. W. Kinsley & Company of Albany, New York (1825–1831), are extremely rare and for that reason, have not had a lot of exposure to the fraternity of specimen book aficionados over the years. Prior to the discovery of the specimen used as copy for this facsimile, only three copies were known to exist—shuttered up in institutions. Two copies were at Columbia University, and a third at the California Historical Society. That is why it was especially gratifying to discover another very complete copy of this rare gem in 2000; that's why a complete facsimile edition was considered necessary.… The quantity of large type is surprising for it is highly unlikely any of this type is wood type—that process was just being developed about this time (1828).

Nearly all buildings use reinforced cast-in-place concrete for their foundation material. In this project, the foundation becomes larger, emerging from the earth and accommodating a large part of the program; yet it remains subservient to the superstructure, in this case made of a contrasting system of construction.
This house is featured in Materials for Design for its innovative approach to cast-in-place concrete. Materials for Design 2 will be available from PAPress this winter, with all new case studies in chapters on glass, concrete, wood, metals, plastics, and now masonry. Like the first volume, MFD2 will be full of insightful details on the materiality of the featured buildings, replete with vivid photography and helpful technical drawings.

But of course modern typography was not the abrupt invention of one man or even of one group. It emerged in response to new demands and new opportunities thrown up by the nineteenth century. The violence with which modern typography burst upon the early twentieth-century scene reflected the violence with which new concepts in art and design in every field were sweeping away exhausted conventions and challenging those attitudes which had no relevance to a highly industrialized society.

Ottawa majority owner sells his share
Faceoff.com today is reporting that Ottawa Senators majority owner Rod Bryden has sold his share of the Ottawa Senators to a limited partnership group for $186.65 million. Bryden, however, will remain on to run the Senators as he had been doing prior to the sale.
He also holds a 10-year option under the sales agreement to buy the team back and stated that he plans to use that option.
How will this help the Senators? Well, the most important part for their fans is that it gaurantees that the Senators will remain in Ottawa. The rest is just speculation.
Forsberg Rportedly to Return to Avs Before Olympics
SportsLine.com wire reports
DENVER — Peter Forsberg is expected to return to the Colorado Avalanche before the start of the Olympics, which begin Feb. 8, the Denver Post reported on its website Tuesday morning.
Disrespect or Respect Theo Fleury?
Theo Fleury is the shortest player in the NHL, yet one of the toughest and most aggressive. He is a gritty player who shows his emotions during a game. When Fleury is on fire, he could be dominant and lethal to teams. He can change the momentum of the game by drawing penalties and aggravating his opponents. But, Fleury could as well hurt his own teammates and cost them a win. He is the type of player who referees hate to handle situations with. What is worse of all though, is Fleury's personal problems conflicting with his game and team. What will happen this season?
Checkmanek or Boucher who will go?
Many people are talking about trading one of the flyers 2 co-starting goalies. The question is which one should go? And in my mind i think there is no doubt that it should be Cechmanek. I realize everbody will have there own opinion(which i would like to hear). But here is why i choose Cechmanek
Lindros Has Seventh Concussion
Eric Lindros sustained his 7th concussion, but a very mild and minor concussion.
Free Agents – 2002
Here is a list of all the free agents that will be avaliable after this season. All courtesy of "The Hockey News" – January 4th edition.
Mid-Term Grades
First half of the season is finally over, for the most part. I tried to be as reasonable as possible giving the grades out to the teams, ad explaining why. Obviously I will get negative and positive comments. If you have a negative comment, then discuss and tell me why you disagree. I rather have that than an immature comment. Thank you.
This Bashing Of Clarke Has Got To Stop
In recent weeks (and months, for that matter) on this site I have read countless articles and comments that continually criticize Bob Clarke and the job he does for the Philadelphia Flyers.
Trade Rumors
When will Amonte leave the Windy City? Ulanov-Mironov tradenovs? Blue Jackets not willing to turn the team around? Is GM Burke doing post Christmas shopping?
Correction on Previous Rangers Article
Dissatisfaction is unaccepted, so since I only received negative comments, I will try to satisfy my fellow HTR members. So, I will make this clear, simple, and easy to understand what my main points were in my previous article.
Senators Update
The Ottawa Senators have played a very inconsistent season so far. They have had many winning streaks, but also many losing streaks. Most fans in Ottawa are used to the team being in the top three in Conference at this point in the season, but right now, they are in 7th place. This has caused many Sens fans to panick and point fingers at players. They are blaming players such as Wade Redden, Patrick Lalime, and Radek Bonk. Maybe it is time to make some more serious changes in Ottawa. At a press conference after the Leafs ousted the Sens in the playoffs, Roy Mlakar promised the fans some serious changes in Ottawa. So far, there has been one. The Yashin deal is the only big change that the Sens have made. They have made some small changes, but none of them have had a serious impact.
Canucks long-term winners of Hlavac trade
Needless to say, last season's pleasant surprise, Team Vancouver of the National Hockey League, is, like its teenagers Twins Sedins, unable to eschew the infamous 'sophomore jinx'. Thus, Canucks GM Mr. Burke, who was known largely for his favouritsm on players and his support to complete blockbuster deals, pulled the trigger recently, dealing constant criminal Brashear, one of the most intimidating enforcers of all time, and a sixth-round selection, in exchange for younger forward Jan Hlavac and a third-round draft pick
Time for Theodore to be the #1
Jose Theodore is young and is showing to everybody that he can be the #1 goalie in Montreal. Only Patrick Roy and Nikolai Khabibulin have better stats than him this year in the NHL.
Habs have won a lot of games this year thanks to Theo. Unfortunately, Hackett has not been able to save/win games since his return from his injury. The Habs can't loose games with Hackett in the goal, but they play him only to show other teams, or in hope, that he will be as good as two years ago.
They need to be in the playoffs this year, and only Theo is able to bring them to the playoffs. In anyway, Hackett has absolutely no trade-in value, and the more he plays, the lower his value is on the market. Even though Hackett is paid twice more than Theo, the best goalie has to play. Michel Therrien and Andre Savard should understand that.
If the Canadiens have only one player in the all-star game, Theodore should be the one. Don't you think?
What hockey stuff I got for Christmas
Merry Christmas everyone!! And Happy Boxing Day to you holiday impaired Canadiens! (hehe just kiddin') Santa brought me all kind cool hockey related goodies for Christmas! So I figured I'd tell ya' what I got and find out what cool hockey junk came in your stocking!
I gotta Temmu Selanne official Team Finland olympic hockey jersey, and matching hat. A Toronto Maple Leafs third jersey! (laugh it up Leafs fans) Although I'm still deciding what player to get on the back (any suggestions?) plus a Flyers pull over.
But this isn't about me! What hockey stuff did Santa bring you?
Again Happy Holidays everyone!
GM Burke, Hlavac, Bertuzzi, Brashear, Dvorak, and GM Sather; Behind the Scenes
Many of you heard of Bertuzzi rumors to the Rangers, and they all sounded false. Many of you are still confused about the Hlavac deal for Brashear. Many of you wonder why Dvorak is having a slumpy 1st half of the season. Many of you are now wondering, where am I going with this.
Will the Rangers reunite the Czech Line?
Will Glen Sather make a trade and reunite the Czech Line? I hope so. If he does the Rangers will have 2 of the best lines in hockey. The Rangers will become true competitors if a trade takes place. Possible trade: Jan Hlavac for Manny Malhotra,Petr Smrek, and/or a draft pick. Vancouver may have to add a draft pickor player themselves. Please feel free to comment.
ESPN vs CBS; ESPN & CBS vs YOU!
Read the Power Rankings of ESPN and CBS. Are the media doing a good job, or are they showing their lack of knowledge and think they are smarter than any original hockey fan?
What about a Quebec team ?
Who could be part of a Quebec team if ever they get independant ? Well, it won't happen any
time soon but let's take a look of how they would look in the olympic. Could they beat a team
like Finland or Slovakia ? Or what about a Quebec / Ontario / B-C competition ?
Just for fun…
Hlavac for Brashear
Flyers have dealt Jan Hlavac and a 3rd rounder to Vancouver for Donald Brashear, a 6th rounder and future considerations.

28 stocks that could double in 2 years
Analysts at Jefferies made a list of picks that have the potential to soar in price.
Except for the fact that analysts from Jefferies think all five could see their stocks double over the next two years.
Here is a quote from Barry, found in an article I was reading. We drug test for even the most menial jobs now. Shouldn't we do random drug testing of Presidents? This guy is an admitted drug user, and seems quite proud of it. Sounds like they are his friend.
Let me be clear: For years, our federal courts acted without empathy for drug defendants and ruined their lives, when their lives could have been salvaged. And this was a terrible sin.
What a fool he is!
And drug dealers have not ruined peoples lives? Or Barry for that matter?

This is the shake-out week. Which new shows are clearly going into the dumpster? Which ones will be able to hold on to their initial audiences (or in rare cases, build on them?)
Which existing shows are showing signs of age or ready to retire soon?
And in this day and age, a broadcast network with a breakout drama or comedy hit is rare. I'm not sure if we have any quite yet.
Fox already has a couple in the danger zone of early cancellation: "Ben and Kate" and "Mob Doctor." CBS has two promising series in "Elementary" and "Vegas."
NBC is thrilled "The Voice" is holding up in the face of "X Factor" competition in the fall but has to be worried about the creative dullness of episode two of "Revolution," which still held 85 percent of its initial audience but could see another dropoff this week. Then again, relatively speaking, its sitcom "Go On" is holding up well after three episodes while three other sitcoms ("Animal Practice," "Guys With Kids" and "The New Normal") have more to worry about.
ABC's new drama "Last Resort" did okay in its opening salvo last Thursday. I don't know yet how well "666 Park Avenue" did last night.
This week, aging "30 Rock" comes back, probably for its final season on NBC at 8 p.m. Thursday. Fox's "Raising Hope" comes back for a third season. MTV's sixth and final season of "Jersey Shore" is upon us Thursday, as viewers have long tired of the fist pumping and histrionics.

I'm pretty excited about this fall lineup. There seem to be some promising shows starting, along with accomplished shows ending. I'm glad that I have a Hopper DVR, and it auto-records the big 4 PrimeTime channels. I'm so forgetful about setting the timers that the feature has already saved me a couple of times. If I would miss The Office I'd feel completely behind. A buddy that I work with at DISH is a big Elementary fan, so that's next on my list. Let's hope that Ben and Kate survive the chopping block, too. Nat Faxon is amazing.

It is insane to say Romney didn't want to win ... he ran twice and if you read his book - you would know that he saw serious trouble in our country - he was right. He felt he had to run, just because his son said something on behalf of his dad ... does not mean he was just running for fun. He had better things to do ... he is worried about our country and so is everyone else.

Emmanuel Dagher May 6 2014
How have you been since we last connected, at the beginning of last month?
In April's Forecast, I shared that there would be several celestial alignments that would inspire rapid changes to occur in our consciousness, and that a big part of this change would include a profound purification of our mind, body and emotions.
The Solar Eclipse at the end of April was the exclamation point that closed the doorway to what was probably one of the most intense yet transformative times in the last 10 years.
If you glided through the past month completely unaffected by the intense energies, then you've probably reached a point of great balance within yourself.
However, if you struggled with those profound shifts, know that you are not alone, and that you are exactly where you are meant to be on your path.
For many, the experiences of the last month have left them asking, "Did that really happen?"
The Release
Last month, many experienced the deeply rooted patterns that contribute to the creation of fear-based reality, which promotes separation, coming to the surface more potently than ever. These patterns came up so strongly this time around, right in front of our faces, so that we can free ourselves of them once and for all. Continue reading

Book Analyzes Chicano, Latino Film and Fiction in Los Angeles
López-Calvo's fifth single-authored book deals with the imaging of Los Angeles in Latino literature and film, and the images of Latinos in Los Angeles literature and film. It also looks at the literary and cultural representation of white anxiety in the Los Angeles metropolitan area because of the massive arrival of Latino immigrants and refugees.
The question he asks in the book is, "What is the source of this racial anxiety that conceives Latino immigration as a social pathology?"
Xenophobia and nativism, he said, are by no means exclusive to California, but there is no doubt that the massive arrival of Latinos in recent decades and the resulting changes in human and cultural landscapes have contributed to exacerbate these feelings.
He wanted to learn more about the city where he had been living after hearing his students' stories about their lives and after reading literature about the Latino experience in Southern California.
"Book after book, story after story, and experience after experience opened the door to a world and an urban history that finally began to make some sense," López-Calvo writes.
UC Riverside Professor Mike Davis wrote that the book is a wonderful, and at times revelatory, construction of the debate about the meaning and future of Los Angeles.
"As López-Calvo shows so ironically, behind every stereotyped image of the Eastside is the reality of a pueblo rich with hope and courage for the future," Davis wrote.

"Fat For An Asian," Flat For A Latina: How To Not Have The Perfect Body
Read my latest blog post for The Huffington Post!
"…by straddling two different cultures with very different standards of beauty and perfection I have learned the hard way that you can never win. By being accepted and rejected by both of my cultures I have come to that age-old conclusion that the only way to be beautiful is to be yourself and that 'perfection' is a socially and culturally constructed ideal that is impossible to achieve, no matter how beautiful you may be."

Today I'm participating in the A More Diverse Universe tour with the goal of raising awareness of authors of color who write speculative fiction. This is my first time participating and so far I've discovered lots of great books and bloggers. Check out the entire list of participants or visit Aarti's blog where the tour originated.
The Lifecycle of Software Objects by Ted Chiang (2010)
150 pages
Summary: In this new novella, at over 30,000 words, his longest work to date, Ted Chiang offers a detailed imagining of how the second approach might work within the contemporary landscape of startup companies, massively-multiplayer online gaming, and open-source software. It's a story of two people and the artificial intelligences they helped create, following them for more than a decade as they deal with the upgrades and obsolescence that are inevitable in the world of software. At the same time, it's an examination of the difference between processing power and intelligence, and of what it means to have a real relationship with an artificial entity.
I was drawn to this book because I'm a fan of speculative fiction, I love reading about futuristic technology, and the cover was really intriguing, seeming to illustrate the connection between technology and people which is exactly what this story conveys.
The story centers on two people, Ana and Derek, who work for a company called Blue Gamma. Derek designs digients (digital entities) which are like virtual pets who exist in an online world called Data Earth which is similar to Second Life. Ana is an animal expert who is hired to help train the digients and make them appear more realistic.
What makes the digients different is that they can learn and grow. They attend classes where they learn different skills, including how to read, and they socialize with other digients. In addition, the digients can be plugged into a physical robotic body which allows them to exist in the outside world.
When Blue Gamma is forced to shut down, Derek and Ana, who have become attached to their digients, decide to adopt them. However, the shutting down of the company causes problems like finding food to feed their digients. Soon the Data Earth world also becomes obsolete and many digient owners abandon their pets.
Derek and Ana really bond over their shared passion for digients and soon they are working together to raise money to upgrade the software so their digients can continue to thrive. In order to do so, they are faced with some unique decisions regarding their digients. It is this aspect which makes the story so interesting because it makes the reader question how intelligent a robot can become and which aspects make them human. It's also interesting to see how committed Derek and Ana are to their digients and how much their involvement with them affects their lives.
Overall this story is quite short but also packed full of information and different scenarios which really make you think. It was a little difficult for me to understand the world of the digients at first because it's so unlike anything I could really relate to, simply because it doesn't exist and is hard to fathom. But Chiang did a great job of explaining it and making things easy for the reader to understand.
Of course artificial intelligence exists now and its evolution into something similar to digients might not be too far away. So it's interesting to consider questions of morality when it comes to robots as well as how they will affect their owners. If you're interested in this subject this book is a great introduction because you won't feel in over your head.
My Rating: ★★★★☆
