After just one season as head coach of St. Stephens, Chris Bunting has resigned to take a job in South Carolina.
Bunting will be the new defensive coordinator for Clover next season. He was hired by new Blue Eagles head coach Chad Smith who was hired last month.
Bunting was defensive coordinator at St. Stephens before becoming head coach last season. He has previous experience as a defensive coordinator at West Montgomery, North Stanly, and Patton.
St. Stephens next head football coach will be their 5th in the last 13 years. In that time, the program has had only 2 winning seasons (7-4 in 2001 and 7-5 in 2008) and one season where they broke even at 6-6 in 2007.

NZ POLITICS DAILY: World Cup Final result will impact election
After much hype and expectation, the Rugby World Cup final is upon us. The question of its political impact is once again being asked.
Two Victoria University of Wellington academics have a lot to say about this – see: Peter A Thompson and Marc Wilson's Winning the World Cup – does it make a difference? and the TVNZ items Expert believes RWC result could impact election and The Cup and the media (3:51). Audrey Young has also written a useful backgrounder here: Rugby World Cup unlikely to affect election.
Comments and questions7
if an election is decided by astupid bloody game than we deserve high unemployment,huge borrowings etc.long live france
If any numb nut decides this countries future on tomorrow nights game it just shows we certainly have an eductation issue. Its up there with Hariwera suggesting he join the red necks in the BOP in hanging the Master of the Rena.
Have to agree with the brainztrust and Te Wiremu.
The last government was thrown out of power but tragically an equally if not more damaging one was put in its place.
The people doing the actual hands on work –those running small businesses, the working and middle class, the professions, mothers and fathers, are only too aware that they are up against deal-making political parties. And that most politicians are nothing more than 'persuasive talkers' who have hijacked the democracy of New Zealand.
i was fat,bald ,old and ugly before the cup and this has not changed despite us winning the cup. the only victors in this cup have been the banks brewerys ,media ,hotel chains and supermarkets the majority of the forementioned all owned overseas.

Those would fall under "managing basic day-to-day" responsibilities." That seems pretty clear from context...
Those would fall under "managing basic day-to-day" responsibilities." That seems pretty clear from context...
That was kind of my point: an adult who can't manage her basic day-to-day responsibilities isn't particularly "mentally or emotionally stable."
Bernadette is maybe the most well adjust and "normal" character on that show, with exception of maybe Penny.
A grown woman who can't be bothered to learn how to manage her household budget or maintain her car comes across as the most "well adjusted and normal." That's even sadder than the parade-o-parodies that makes up the rest of the cast...
And don't give me any of that "plight of the economically disadvantaged" stuff as a crap excuse . She can afford the bog-standard closet full of double-hex-digit pairs of shoes and "girls' shopping trips" and MMOGs (because they realized that there was a stereotype they hadn't played for cheap laughs yet).
That may be intentional. In fact they confirm it is. What better way for an attacker to cover his tracks after a successful break-in then being able to credibly corrupt the logs.
Have none of these people spent even a week on the administration side, FFS? Change "an attacker" to "a malfunctioning process" and, all of a sudden, you want it to be recoverable so you can figure out WTF went wrong so you can fix it.
Well, it depends on how pedantic one wants to be (and this is slashdot, after all.:))
BSD is Unix, but not UNIX(TM). That is, it has the provenance, but not the corporate blessing. Feeling that the latter would confer any value is probably a litmus test of some sort...
Your other two examples are duly solemnized carriers of the brand name, however.
As one who has scratched out a few purpose-built minecraft mods over the past few years, maybe I can clear it up a bit.
It's a multi-step process. The initial de-compilation step is, indeed, just about as useless as you say: lots of net.minecraft.cx.func_11235_a()
But there's a project called MCP Toolkit, which basically goes through every new release and reverse-engineers as much of it as they can (usually a pretty good percentage too), mapping the obfuscated classes, variables and methods to names which, while possibly (probably) not the names used internally, are at least meaningful.
Minecraft Forge, the officially unofficial mod API, used to include MCPing the minecraft source as part of setting up its workspace. It was really handy when I was learning, being able to trace things back through the code to figure out how they worked, but had its downside. I'm not sure whether they got tired of people needlessly making coremods (mods that altered the "vanilla" classes, as opposed to interacting through Forge), or they were afraid of drawing an evil eye from Mojang, or what, but they've altered their whole setup starting late in 1.6.4 so they don't even download the vanilla jar anymore.
More often, I used mischief to get myself into technology...
Monitor all males in real time and if they break the rules, either they get 10 years in prison or they lose an eye. Either one.
The delicious irony of the modern feminism.
Wait, did I just argue one of Anita Sarkeesian's points for her?
No, you argued one of her critics' points against her: a series of poorly-researched and inflammatory rant-videos accomplishes precisely dick other than to serve as a rallying point for similarly-aligned identity politics, who recursively make their own poorly-researched and inflammatory rants, feeding the current paradigm: a loud, incestuous echo-chamber on one side, convinced that their MO of using shame tactics to make other people do things their way, might someday work, if they can just reach that elusive critical mass of obnoxiousness; until then, they'll keep beating on the status quo like wind against a mountain that (rightly) doesn't give a shit.
The whole approach of Anita et al is fundamentally contradictory: you don't demonstrate "equality" or "agency" by demanding that other people do for you, rather than doing yourself.
Not at all. My first foray into ebooks was way back on an old Sony Clie back in the PalmOS days.
Tell me, how does boot taste?
Like freedom, of course. What are you, new here?
Please - stand up behind your accusations and show us all which parts of her videos are self-contradictory
One example: Lara Croft. Originally, she was oversexualized, a sign of an inherently female-hostile game industry. Then, later, when later games toned down her sexuality, that was female-hostile because it apparently meant that the game makers felt that, in order to be taken seriously, a female protagonist has to be more "mannish."
And I really don't understand your complaint about how she spent the kickstarter money. She asked for donations to make a series of videos, alot of people donated with the understanding that she would make the video series, she made the video series. Are you suggesting that she should have taken that money and done something else with it?
She set out from the startup to make videos bitching and moaning and trying to shame others into doing things her way, rather than doing anything herself. Her intentions were ignoble from t=0.
Actually, from what I've read on this thread, no-one has 'trivially proven' this.
Check out Thunderf00t's response video, for starters. There are many others.
"Emotionally manipulative liars" is one of those old school stereotypes about women, and so AC here takes that typification, and extrapolates it onto Sarkeesian without any sort of evidence to bear out that she's actually like that
Have you actually managed to sit through any of her inane dribblings that pass as videos? Plenty of evidence there.
Hell, just the fact that she took a 150k kickstarter and used it to make a video series full of self-contradictory bitching and bullshit accusations rather than, say, making a game that she claims everyone wants (and 150k is plenty to make a good indie game these days, don't let the blockbuster budgets fool you).
It's safe to assert that "intending to shame others into doing things your way" falls safely inside the boundaries of "emotionally manipulative."
The "liar" part is trivially proven, but plenty of others have already gone after that, so finding them will be left as an exercise for the reader.
How can you tell when you receive a lot of death threats whether any of them are credible?
Having done my stint in various online games, I've probably received more death threats than senators have received blowjobs from congressional pages.
I'm pretty confident in my current system, which is something of an inversion of the USPTO policy: When you add "over the internet" to the description of the threat, its credibility drops 99%.
what I'm saying is that always having the cops on cam will take away their 'human' side and they'll just be encouraged more towards robot enforcers.
I think 40+ years of militarization and the "us vs them", "thin blue line" bullshit attitude have made plenty of headway in that regard already, so it's no great loss considering the trade-off.
People are always available for work in the past tense.

FAIRBANKS-The Alaska Nanooks volleyball team learned a lot about themselves while in Hawaii this weekend. The Nanooks were swept in the three of the four matches against four Hawaii schools but there were some bright spots.
The Nanooks had a .225 attacking clip against BYU-Hawaii the fifth ranked team in the nation and played them very tough despite the 25-17, 25-21, 25-16 defeat. Against Chaminade UAF won their first set of the year 25-20 limiting the Swords to a .034 attacking percentage. They lost an intense third set that went 28-26.
Also Sam Harthun has 8 more kills (48) through four games than last season. The Nanooks will be back home this Friday for the Nanook Classic.

Kitchen Color: Teatowels and Aprons from Skinny laMinx
Look at these bright, pretty tea towels and aprons from Skinny laMinx. We've had this Etsy shop in our favorites for a long time - we like the apple reds and greens, Orla-Kiely-inspired stem prints, and 100% cotton fabrics...
• Aprons, including the Spoons Apron above, are $25. Shipping is from South Africa but they ship for only $5.
• Teatowels are $11 each.
2 Comments
I never paid much attention to tea towels till I recently bought some at C&B that Do Not absorb anything!
Now how annoying is that.
Very annoying!
I use teatowels more for decoration and small functions like holding a hot dish or teapot and spreading out under a serving dish.
I keep fully absorbent but stained, ripped, and ugly towels in the kitchen for the real work!

(LONGWOOD, FL) -- The cyber voyeur webcam site CollegeBoysLive.com lost a round in court Friday when Judge Sloop ordered the owners of the site to turn over a lengthy list of documents to the prosecution. The site is being sued by there local home owners association on the grounds that they are running a business out of there home contrary to the local convents.
The 2 year court battle seems to be drawing to a close with the main court hearing just a month away on July 31st. A court ruling in the HOA's favor will basically undermine a previous court ruling in Tampa FL where it was deemed that webcam houses are not the location of the business, and this can have far reaching consequences for a lot of home biased internet operations.
The owners of the CollegeBoysLive.com site pointed out that 25 other businesses, including members of the HOA board have been operating in the neighborhood for many years and nothing has been done about them. "Its selective enforcement" says Adams, the owner and a resident at the Longwood, FL home. "They don't like a group of gay guys running a webcam house and as the city and county won't do anything about it they decided to use long defunct HOA rules to try to get rid of us".

Doctor Who AU - Time baby
"I brought it just like I promised. that will teach you to doubt me, Amelia Pond." The Doctor looked triumphant as he came towards them, which was odd since he left only a minute ago from the other direction.
"Brought what?" Amy asked, not rolling her eyes but it was close.
"The picture."
"What picture?"
"The picture of the… Oh. This is wrong. Never mind me, I'm talking nonsense. You can ignore everything I just said." He tried to back away but Amy was too quick, snatching the poloroid out of his hand.
"I always ignore you when you ramble, don't you…" Amy stopped talking, her eyes flicking up at the Doctor then back down at the picture.
"What is it?" Rory tried to look but the Doctor was between him and Amy, blocking the view. When his wife didn't answer she asked again. "Amy? What is it?"
"This is you and River." She addressed the Doctor, ignoring Rory for the moment.
"Yes it is. Very observant of you to see that Amy. I'll take that now." Amy's fingers, however, were clamped hard and the picture didn't budge.
"She's holding a kid, Doctor. This is you and her and a little girl."
"A girl?" Rory pushed the Doctor out of the way enough to see the picture. His voice was barely a whisper when he spoke. "That's a little girl."
The Doctor reached up to pull his hat over his face, but he'd left his Stetson in the TARDIS. "Surprise?"
He landed at the wrong time again! lol This was lovely!

Last Thursday the Thrashers outshot the Washington Capitals 41-32 and lost.
Last Saturday they outshot San Jose 27-24…and they lost.
Failing to win by the more traditional route of holding the opponents to low shot counts and taking more than they give up…the Thrashers returned to their tried and true method of being grossly outshout to procure a victory.
And it worked, by golly!
They depart Canada's capital with a much needed 3-1 victory regardless of the fact that the Senators got away 51 shots on Ondrej Pavelec. 25 came in the third period alone…which was four more than the 21 shot Atlanta was able to get off on Ottawa's Pascal Leclaire for the entire game.
Obviously, the story on this winning Halloween afternoon was Pavelec who all but single handedly stole the two points for his teammates. His positioning was outstanding…his rebound control was excellent…and he flashed some fine leather all game long.
One of the saves in the third period came as Opie was mask-less…taking the puck off of his shoulder and and up to his chinny-chin-chin.
The Thrashers actually held a 13-8 shots advantage after the first 20 minutes as they distanced themselves from the poor starts that had plagued them at home during the Oh-fer-three homestand. Opie was the subjected to an Ottawa onslaught the rest of the way as the Sens took 43 of the 51 shots during the second and third periods.
The only goal he eventually surrendered was during a 5 on 3 Ottawa power play when Mike Fisher was able to cram home one from the left post with 4:27 left to play…cutting the score to 2-1.
In the box at the time was Maxim Afinogenov with an obstruction/cross-checking/hit-from-behind/here-let-me -help-you-into-our-goal type of penalty and Pavel Kubina, who dislodged the goal from it's moorings during a scramble in front of the net.
Afinogenov atoned for his transgressions just minutes later when his backhander beat Leclaire while he was on a breakaway, providing the eventual winning margin.
Defenseman Zach Bogosian gave the Thrashers an early 1-0 lead when his shot from the blueline rattled off a stick or two on its way into the goal at the 12:13 mark of the first. Rich Peverley scored his sixth of the year in the second…deflecting home a Nik Antropov shot from the right side.
Both Peverley and Bogosian's goals provided their respective parents with Halloween treats as they were in attendance in Ottawa. I guess it is only fair to point out that Fisher's fifth goal of the season was witnessed in person by his girlfriend, Carrie Underwood…as the CBC cameras showed us several times.
For Peverley, he now has 12th overall point of the year…a total that leads the Atlanta Thrashers. It's been a pretty good 2009 for that young man, eh?
Atlanta finishes the month of October with a winning record, going 5-4-1 heading into November.
Halloween Costumes Around Hockey
What was scarier this Halloween?
Total Voters: 51
Tonight I'm sure you'll all be visited by the little goblins of the neighborhood in search of Halloween candy and treats. And, as is the norm, part of the fun as adults is getting to see the little tykes in their costumes.
But there are some hockey teams around North America that are treating their fans to some horrifying get-ups of their own.
Case in point, the Bakersfield Condors of the ECHL Friday night donned these jerseys that paid tribute the late Michael Jackson…you'll note the suspenders and the King of Pop's trademark hat worn by the Condor. Also, the Condors wore one white glove with these jerseys as well to complete the look.
As aesthetically unpleasant as some my find Bakersfield's Halloween costumes…it doesn't hold a candle to the Don Cherry plaid suit jerseys worn by the Kingston Frontenacs of the OHL earlier in the month.
Now that's down-right disturbing!
With that being said, however…the Candian hockey icon did autograph each one of the jerseys worn that night and they were made avaialble to be auctioned off with the proceeds going to Soldier On.
October 31st, 2009
5:27 pm
Better get rid of Max. That's twice now Afinogenov has scored goals to cement a win. The Buffalo game was the other. It was an ugly win, but they don't all have to be pretty.
October 31st, 2009
5:29 pm
Those jersey's are awefull, maybe those ugly things will take the focus off talk about Ilya's contract, the Thrashers moving, hockey don't belong in the South etc…. ..I'd take 51 shots on net (along with a Thrasher win) every time
October 31st, 2009
5:34 pm
Pavs smothered 50 shots! Astonishing. Thrashers skated out of their own end long enough to score three goals. Tough way to end slide but it is ended just the same! Congratulations. Too bad previous four outings were such putrid debacles! ++STENDEC++
October 31st, 2009
5:35 pm
Brendan, I don't think many are ready to jettison Max outright. I think many of us wonder if he really should be in our Top 6. I think Peverley could be the right 2-way player to partner up with Max, but I would rather see him playing on the 3rd pairing with Reasoner and Kozlov. But who the hell knows? Right now, Peverley and Antropov have been the only consistent offensive forces outside of Kovy. If one of the other guys doesn't step up soon, we could become much too easy to defend. Kane seemed to have a quiet game…I reckon Ottawa's physical play had something to do with that.
October 31st, 2009
5:38 pm
This was one of the BEST Goalie preformances I have seen in Atlanta
since the Flames were in town. Pavelec was OUTSTANDING and the offense was not bad and made the plays when needed.
Liked the fact as Rawhide pointed out, a LOT of those 51 shots were not from good scoring angles… Excellent game fun to watch for a change,
we really Spooked them !
BTW… Kari Who ?
October 31st, 2009
5:40 pm
We were so Freeaking Lucky. Pavs was a HERO and nobody else helped him. Horrible win. 51 shots on Pavs for 60 minutes is way tooooo much. Anderson "System" did not work very well agains Ottawa. Finnaly we skip 4 games Loosing streak, but I am worry about future. This team is absolutely not predictable. If team played this way of hockey that it means team will not make Play Offs.
October 31st, 2009
5:43 pm
What's the franchise record for most shots faced/saved in a game? I remember Kari's stellar performance a couple seasons back in Detroit, but not what the totals were. Is this at least a personal record for Pavs?
October 31st, 2009
5:59 pm
Yeah Bill, but Little is a +2, Kozlov a -2 and neither one is near the defensive liability that Max is. Despite his 7 points, he's either a -5 or -6. Ungood. And two of his goals have been on breakaways…just not sure he is Top 6 material when Kovy is healthy. And with the Kahlua line playing so dis-taste-ily (sorry), something has to change.
Pam – forgot to say it was a pleasure meeting you last Saturday at the Sharks game. But I don't recall seeing you on the blog in the past week. Perhaps I missed when you commented. At any rate, it was fun chatting with you at the game and sitting next to you and your hubby.
PS – I think the franchise record for saves is 53 by Milan Hnlicka.
October 31st, 2009
6:10 pm
Even though Pavs, aka The Beast, looked amazing, the rest of the team looked slow pretty much the entire game. Our goalie should get the first, second, and third star for this performance.
But… we did get two and Tampa got none, (and I think they liked it too.) So back to second in the division. Let us hope and pray we keep getting wins, no matter how good or, as in this case, bad they look.
Happy Halloween everyone.
October 31st, 2009
6:40 pm
Good points Rawhide, but it may be (Max's production) coming at the expense of Kozlov, White and Little. I fear those players have been sacrificing some offensive aggression when playing on the same line for fear of the bad T/O and odd-man breakout. I'm much more comfortable with Finny playing with Antro and Pevs, but it takes Pevs off the pivot, which isn't ideal. And the Kahlua line is as bad at reversing zone time and putting the other team on its heels as it gets. They may get some one and dones with a few goals, but they can't play against Top 6 competition and be as productive as we need. A lot of pros and cons but we all know it would be tricky to get the parts to mesh when adding Crazy Legs to the mix.

Not sure why the hate against the home team? They won, yes they were outshot but there was not that many quality chances in my opinion. The team is coming out of the "fog" of losing the best player in the team and he just happens to be the Captain as well.
I for one will take this win and be very, very happy with it!
October 31st, 2009
9:25 pm
I wouldn't call it hate sisu, just lots of hearty, juicy doubt creeping in. Rich Peverley said in the post game "they were standing around watching too much and Pavelec saved their butts and made them win". Can't really argue with that. But I didn't have the luxury of watching that 43 – 8 shot disparity crapfest personally…thank God. So I can't count the number of "quality" chances…the hi-lite reel revealed at least 5 instances of grand theft larceny on the part of Ondrej-ing "the crease" PaveLITS!

Any win is a nice win, especially when it comes in Ontario. Nice to see Mike Milbury piling on Atlanta during the Hot Stove, though Pierre LeBrun was actually positive about Atlanta.
Milbury's record as a general manager should restrict him from saying anything negative about anybody. He put the Islanders franchise where it is today, to heck with the Lighthouse Project.
I think we need to set aside any paranoia about how many fans we have in the stands at every game. The number of fans who show up and the impact in the franchise is beyond our control. The franchise has to sell the team to the fanbase. Let the idiots that claim we don't deserve a franchise can take a hike into Thunder Bay in January.

ooooh baby was Opie on FIRE!!!! Whoo!!! Kari may not have a job when he comes back!!!! As for the team, STINKY! 51 shots on goal is just, well, sad! Well a game is a game and a win is a win, so just put itin the record book!!! One part of the game I was questioning was when the Officials called that intentional net dislocation of Kubina. I didnt think he did that on purpose, hes just a big guy with a big body. Any one else have any thoughts on that?

Is it just me or is it frustrating to others that we don't have a story on the Thrashers game yesterday afternoon with quotes from our players/coaches and only the AP version (and it isn't even the most recent AP version)? UGH!
November 1st, 2009
10:32 am
First, a win is a win. I'll take 5 more of these in a row rather than "well played" losses. I think the team got a little gassed midway through the 2nd and they got stuck on some real loooong shifts and it just threw everyone off. Look at the ice time the 4th line got….you almost NEVER see that. We had serious trouble getting the puck out and OP did a great job. The big thing I noticed was that OP stayed in position for a large amount of the game and only "flopped" when he really needed to. That game sold me on him, and I have been somewhat of an OP doubter. He's the man in net for this team. I'm not entirely sold on our 3rd D-pairings though…..although I don't have an answer as to who is hurting us most….Is anyone else a little concrned about Army? He hasn't done much wrong, but seems like he has been invisible this whole season….He's solid, overall, but he just hasn't seemed to be making things happen, IMHO. I wonder if he is playing hurt. Anyway, glad we got the win, and Mike Fischer's girlfriend is hot.

Don't look now, but the Islanders are a .500 club, at 13-points. Technically, they're on pace for 82 for the season. In this, John Tavares' first year in the NHL. Phoenix just won their 9th of the season, and set a franchise record for wins in October. And that's a team whe became the subject of a New Jersey Devil Intermission question, "Should the Coyotes be relocated?" And that, RIGHT BEFORE Stan Fischler interviewed NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman.
Colorado is something like 10-1-2. At least, that's what they were last time I checked. Where did the Aves finish last season? 28th? What was their point total? It was in the 60's. Might have been 63, lest I be thinking of the Islanders. Look at where the lottery draft teams are now? Islanders are at .500, at 4-4-5. Tampa … okay they're not doing great, but they're at least "decent." Colorado is the #1 team in the NHL for points. Who picked 4th? Atlanta, right. We're at 5-4-1, above the .500 mark. who picked 5th? Los Angeles. What are they, 8-4? Something like that. Phoenix picked 6th, and they're off to that flying start of 9-4, I think. Now Toronto is a fish of another color. At 1-7-4, that's one win out of 12 games. That's six-points out of a possible 24 (6/24). I would say, "So???" at this point, except that Boston owns that 1st overall pick in next Summer's draft. Thanks to that Phil Kessel trade.

I inadvertently posted after yesertday's game that they looked good in the 2nd. I of course meant the 1st. The first 15 minutes of the 2nd was flat out ugly and the 3rd was a nearly identical.
Why has it been a hallmark of the Thrashers to stop moving their feet when we get a lead? We've been like this under every coach. There were points in the game yesterday where we had 4 guys just standing there as the Sens skated circles around them. Peverley, in particular, looked bad on a D a number of times. We have to skate and go hard.
Anderson is right, the 60 minute concept needs to be embraced. If the team can get to the point where they go hard all the time, I think we could have the makings of a playoff team.
I see lots of positives with the talent, speed, and general make up of the team when they are moving and passing, and getting in the lanes on D. When they stop moving and get into a fallback posture, it all goes bad.
Opie was, um um um, I've run out of superlatives. He gets assualted and only gives up a 5 on 3 goal? Just WOW! That was some performance. Nice to see him get the kudos from Millbury on the NHL network and on HNIC.
Also, I loved Millbury's disection of Kovalev's play in the game. That was well done, funnny, and insighful all at once.
November 1st, 2009
12:42 pm
Please call him OP….so now the Thrasher Bashers have been quieted…except for the Mad Max Axers….
I agree with Rawhide…so far, the return on Max is worth it!
This Team is learning how to win…whether it be ugly or otherwise…and the players are starting to really understand their roles…and when needed, someone different every night is steping up to lead the way…
I really like the way Bogo has stepped up…both on D and scoring…and leading…and OP is proving what many knew…given the chance to mature and play, can be a starting goalie in the NHL….
Next up, the Habs…14 points in 14 games…the Thrashers, 11 points in 10 games….should be good!
Remember….a win is a win!
November 1st, 2009
1:57 pm
Look at yestersday's win thru Thrasher blue colored glasses. It's all good. First 10 games, what's good and what's bad. A few good points, 5-4-1, Pevs, Antro, road record, Opies GA and save %…Bad, shots on goal, home record, Ilya's out(but we are 1-1, which is good), attendence, (which might be connected to slow starts, my fault too, I have not made it up there this year), Little, Kozzy and White…..what are yalls thoughts?? Got some time to kill before Tuesday.

I don't want to put anybody down, but Hainsey's presence or the lack thereof does not seem to make any difference. Not to the tune of the salary he makes here.
November 1st, 2009
4:32 pm
Just love how the holier-than-thou Canadian media likes to rip the birds. Ronny, Mikey and the other "broadcast talent" of CBC and TSN are about as irritating as nails on a chalkboard. Looking forward to TJ's for the Islan-DUHs game.
November 1st, 2009
8:07 pm
I think the team is ok for the first 10 games, yeah, 5-4-1 is not perfect but it is a WINNING record. The team has not folded with their Captain out, about 9 more games to go…The defense is doing okay, not missing the giant at the time, think he needs to go to Chicago when he returns. Not sure who should sit, Anssi is definitely the shooter type dman, Bogo will score a hat trick, just a matter of when. Kubina is quiet, perhaps the quietest 5 points so far on the team…Pop seems to do ok.
November 1st, 2009
9:33 pm
Krog was sent back down already. Guess he was strictly insurance at center in the event Antro couldn't go. Why do I get the feeling that Brett Sterling may be on his way back to Atlanta?

When Don Waddell drafted Brett Sterling, I did cartwheels. I thought the organization had landed a guy who had fallen close to 100 spots in the draft. He was, after all, a finalist for the Hobey Baker, at Colorado College. I loved his NCAA career. Truly, I did. I counted myself as a "Sterling fan." But, as time has gone by … I took the rose-colored glasses off, to see him for what he is: A top AHL player. Maybe he's a 'Tweener?' But he doesn't seem like a guy who'll play 5-10 seasons in the NHL. Though, I'd love to be wrong about that. I thought Waddell was "right" to take a chance on him. And, in the sense of minor league championships, he was right. Drafting Sterling has helped the Chicago Wolves, in terms of their playoff successes.
But Sage of Bluesland would quickly jump in to say, "Who cares about minor league successes? What does that have to do with the Thrashers? Waddell is GM of the Thrashers, not the Wolves." And that's fair comment.
November 2nd, 2009
7:52 am
Thank you!!! Krog has been sent down!!! hooray!!! Now all they need to do is pick someone decent!
November 2nd, 2009
8:37 am
True…but as a fan, nobody cares about that. It does matter how you play in the NHL. Winning Championship in Chicago in the AHL doesn't = wins for the Thrashers. If Krog can't play worth a #$%#@ in the NHL…get him outta here.
November 2nd, 2009
9:06 am
DWTOO The difference is, no one tells the tool salesman (in writing, no less) how much he sucks, the company should get rid of his a$$. I think I'm pretty good at my job, but even if I screw up, I'm not publicly humiliated.
I also liked how Joni Mitchell once put being a musician, "No one ever told Picasso to paint "Starry Night" again".
November 2nd, 2009
9:11 am
It's funny how some people on the blogs tend to denigrate guys because they're good AHL talent, but, can't make the jump to the NHL. Most of us don't have the talent to play AAHL Double AA. Don't know about you guys (and girls), but I'd kill to have the skill to play at the ECHL level. It'd be awesome to have the talent to play at the AHL level. You're still one the top 1,000 players in North American. Sure beats being one of the top tool salesman or accountant.
November 2nd, 2009
10:28 am
Well, Joey Crabb scored a goal last nite so he is surely deserving of the call up now! LOL Did anyone notice Chelios had the GW goal last nite against Rockford? Yes, I am a hockey fan and I have an addiction problem!
Anyway, I just thought of something: did we send Krog back cuz we are making room for another D-man (Oystrick?) because Hainsey is more banged up than they are letting on?
November 2nd, 2009

Oystrick hurt will not be called up. Chelios right now best player on Wolves. Machacek, Gratton,
Crabb. not playing well.No call up for them.

Event Details
Date(s) & Time(s)::
Daily from September 26, 2012 until September 27, 2012
Link: http://www.IndianaHarvest.com
Event Description
More than 80 Hoosiers, including Gus Rodriguez and Yalili Mena from Fort Wayne's Caliente Cuban Cuisine, and Joseph Decuis owners Pete and Alice Eshelman, are featured in a book called Food for Thought: An Indiana Harvest, commissioned by Indiana Humanities. Featuring first-person narratives and rich photography, the coffee table book captures and shares stories from Hoosiers about the food renaissance taking place across the state. To celebrate the release of the book, several Fort Wayne locations are hosting book signings and discussions with author David Hoppe, photographer Kristin Hess and some of the book interviewees on Sept. 26 and 27.
Food for Thought: An Indiana Harvest features a broad spectrum of Hoosiers statewide, and is a legacy of the two-year award-winning program called Food for Thought, in which Indiana Humanities encouraged Hoosiers to think, read and talk about food and its role in our lives. The book went on sale Aug. 1 and these stops are part of a two-month, statewide tour by Hoppe, Hess and the interviewees. The tour is funded in part by Farm Credit Mid-America.
Tour locations and times:
5 – 9 p.m., Wed., Sept. 26
800 Degrees Three Fires
"Victory Tap Takeover"
Featuring: Hoppe, Hess and Greg Gunthorp (one of the book interviewees; he supplies the restaurant's pork and chicken)
11 a.m. – 1 p.m., Thurs. Sept. 27
Caliente Cuban Cuisine
Featuring: Hoppe, Hess, Rodriguez and Mena (Read their story, here.)
6:30 – 7:30 p.m., Thurs. Sept. 27
Auer Center for Arts and Culture
Hosted by Arts United of Greater Fort Wayne
Featuring: Hoppe, Hess and Jeff Hawkins (one of the book interviewees; he runs the Hope CSA out of North Manchester)
Food for Thought: An Indiana Harvest retails at $24.95 but will be discounted to $20 at signings, and all proceeds go toward funding humanities programs for the people of Indiana.
"Through our Food for Thought program, we met an amazing group of people involved in Indiana food – from Caliente's Gus and Yalili to Joseph Decuis' Pete and Alice Eshelman," said Keira Amstutz, president and CEO of Indiana Humanities. "We wanted to share their stories about making a living through food, how the creative, entrepreneurial passion drives people to take risks and introduce food-based innovations, and how Hoosiers' efforts are working to solve food-based challenges across the street and around the globe. These are the stories we will be telling about through our book, and through the book tour."
Food for Thought: An Indiana Harvest was published by IBJ Publishing and printed by an Indiana company. The book is also available online (www.IndianaHarvest.com).

How do I get over my social anxiety?
October 7, 2007
How can I get over my social anxiety when at SO's work gatherings. OR how do I fake proper behavior?
My social anxiety is high when I am at my SO's work parties. I try to avoid them, but I have to go every now and then. One reason that I am anxious is that I am a doctoral student and as such am out of shape, have crappy clothes, bad hair and nothing "normal" to talk about except my research. Meeting new people isn't a priority for me right now. How can I get through these events?

Develop at least some kind of relationship with some of your SO's co-workers. The relatively minor amount of time it takes to go out in a small group once or twice a month would seem to be a good trade off for a happy relationship with your SO, and would ease the pain of being at large gatherings since you'll have people you know how to talk to there for you to talk to.
Buy one nice outfit. This can be your weddings and other unexpected but important invitations outfit, and doesn't need to be all that fancy--but the time spent in getting the correct fit is non-negotiable.
Find a hair style that hides how much your hair sucks. For long hair, up-dos hide split ends AND look great. Maybe also keep a tube of anti-frizz stuff around for special occasions (consider it an investment). If your hair is short, then just arrange to have your hair cut/trimmed directly before one of these things.
Read the news (hint: NYT subscriber barrier just came down) every day for two-three days ahead of time. This will give you something to talk about, even if it's somewhat boring. Or just talk about your research, most people have nothing to talk about but themselves anyway, and frankly if you're even slightly interested in your research you're doing better than people who are only interested in the mirror.

Don't drink. Behaving inappropriately because of alcohol will add to your misery.
Before you go, browse a few news sites and find non-political but common topics to discuss. When introduced, say the person's name, and ask, what do you do here? Or What do you do for fun? or what are you doing this weekend? or what do you think of this weather we've been having (okay, that's not so good, but you get the idea).
Once you hit on a topic they care about, listen enough to ask useful questions. Pretend to yourself that you're looking for a connection between their business and your research so that you can write an appropriate paper. That might getting you thinking in the right direction.
When they disengage from you, if they do, don't take it as a slight. They may have a plan to mingle or network. If they're total bores, you can leave them, excuse me, I'm just going to get a drink, go to the bathroom, or whatever.
Try not to hang around with the partner - it makes it too easy NOT to mingle. Set a goal for yourself - tonight I will speak to 3 people I don't know and find 3 I do. Once you've done that, take a break, walk outside, find a dark corner to recuperate in.
Oh, and so long as you're neat and clean, anyone who judges YOU for your appearance is not someone you need to consider the opinion of.

Ugh. Work events are the worst. I find them much easier to handle if I do some prep work first. I bone up on who the key figures are, their spouses names, their kids' names and ages, any big life-changing events that have happened since the last gathering, etc. That way, I'm not at such a disadvantage when it comes to conversation. Being able to walk up to someone and say, "Oh hi, Betty! I hear your daughter Ann is off to college this year. Harvard, right? How's she adjusting so far?" really helps. People like it when you seem interested in them and if you can get them talking about themselves, the pressure is off you.

No one is judging you ("hmm... out of shape, I see") -- if anything, they just can tell that you're uncomfortable with yourself. So, just learn some conversation skills (there are a lot of good past threads on AskMe about it) and consider your attendance and conversation-making as an act of courtesy you're performing (as opposed to the moment of judgment for the current state of your wardrobe), and you'll be fine.

out of shape
I would say don't worry about it, but if you're worried about it in this context, you're probably worried about it in general. Look into doing some exercise, but it should be for your own sake, not to impress SO's co-workers.
have crappy clothes
Go op-shopping, and to garage sales. Stylish secondhand clothes are usually cheaper than crappy clothes bought new from the discount store.
bad hair
Just wash it and comb it, and leave enough time for it to dry before the party. If it's long enough, put it in a ponytail. If you
don't care about your hairstyle, get it cut down to 0.5" all over. (This is easy enough to do yourself with clippers equipped with a length gauge.) This will pass for a deliberate attempt at a good haircut, even if you're balding (assuming you don't have pattern baldness, in which case the only way to fix it is shave it all off).
and nothing "normal" to talk about
Google for advice on how to make
small talk
. This will be useful to you in many, many more situations. You can go for a
long, long
way in social situations just by asking questions that require open-ended answers, and asking further questions about what the person seems pleased about.
"Hi, I'm Sarah Connor's boyfriend."
"Hi, I'm Pete."
"What do you do at BlahBlah Co?"
"I'm the post-lamination meerkat reduction specialist."
"I've never heard of that, what does that involve?"
except my research
Lots of people, particularly smart ones, find science in general interesting. At some point in your academic career you
need to find a way to explain your research in terms that make its purpose comprehensible to the intelligent layman; this is a good opportunity to practice that, before you have to explain it to people who will decide whether or not you should be given money. Particularly emphasise ways this could be part of people's lives, maybe in ten years; tell an interesting story about how the principle(s) were discovered. Also, gossip about your advisor, and your fellow students, and your university.
you associate with is bound to be doing research that will interest lay people; bask in their reflected glory.
Very importantly,
ask your SO
. Your presence at these functions is towards one purpose: making her (or him) look good. You're playing a role.
get drunk until at least 10% of the party are plastered. Show--even if it's not completely true--that she has a stable home life, that you love her and are impressed by (and unthreatened by) her success at her job, and that she is a worthy partner for a future academic researcher, you.
Whatever she wants you to do
, do it. If she wants you not to talk to Bill, and Bill insists on buttonholing you and trying to pump your for information, extricate yourself - ideal way to do that is to keep a vague eye on the bar, and when someone else comes up to it, down your drink and say you need a refill, then go off to the bar and start a conversation with that person. If Bill follows you, introduce the two of them, and excuse yourself to the gents. If he follows you into the gents, have a quiet word with him along the following lines: ("Look Bill, my SO thinks you're a bit weird, and frankly, following me into the toilet is pretty much proving it. I'd like you to leave me alone, I'd like you to leave her alone, and if you cause any more problems for her, we'll take it up with management. Just chill out."
(Anything else is pretty much standard for parties.)

Also, I know how it feels to feel like the frumpy one. I've had to hang out with a lot of trophy wives and there's just no competing with them. If you're female (I can't tell from the question), it can help to dress simply (a black pants suit, for example) and have one interesting accessory like a funky brooch or a unique handbag. It keeps you from looking like you're trying too hard, but gives people something to compliment you on and compliments can make great conversation-starters.
"I really like your brooch!"
"Thanks. I bought it on vacation in ___/from a local artist/because it reminds me of___."

"I'm the post-lamination meerkat reduction specialist."
First of all, I have to say that all business speak sounds just like this to me (only not hilarious).
As a fellow frumpy, unfashionable, not-for-profit academic -- and goddamned proud of it, my friend -- I Feel Your Pain. The reason we often feel this way and feel awkward and as if we have nothing to talk about at business functions is that
people don't get what we do, are openly hostile to it, and act in a boorishly self-important manner.
Considering that you do want to be supportive of your spouse, then I'd go with my standard defense mechanism: buying right into it and (non-effusively) flattering the fuck out of these private sector types. Ask all about their meerkat reduction, insert the occasional vague platitude about what you do (if they even ask), nod at their condescending comments about academic research, etc.
Meanwhile, to stop yourself from going stark staring mad, contemplate the soul-suffocating emptiness of their cubicle-filling, pantihose-wearing, cog-in-a-Rube-Goldberg-device existence.

In short, get over it.
I still struggle from time to time with social anxiety disorder. My doctor prescribed Paxil which helps some but the best treatment I have had is realizing that everyone else is only thinking about themselves. Granted, some people are better conversationalists than others but the bottom line is that everyone is worried about what others are going to think of them and tailor their actions accordingly. Most people are too busy worrying about themselves to even make a judgment of you.
Your perceived lack of social skills may be there or it may just be in your head. Probably a mixture of both. Just go there and talk about what makes you tick. Listen to what the other person is saying and it will all flow from there.
There is so much more to it and if you want more of my opinion feel free to check my profile and shoot me an email.
If you just forget about everyone else and be yourself, you will be doing better than 90% of the people there.

Ask your SO who the smart coworkers are, and gravitate towards them. There's probably a few non-social dorks in any group, and generally I can get along with them.
Despite what b33j says, I find moderate amounts of alcohol (1 or 2 drinks, not actually getting drunk) to help my social anxiety a lot. There's a fine line, that differs per person, where more drinks make it worse, though. Work your way up.

It's a lot more unusual for women to do it, but it can and does work for many women. Can't answer for you in particular without a photo, even then it'd just be my opinion. Ask your friends! :)
I assumed the questioner was male and suggested the clipper cut as the easiest, cheap, low-maintenance option for a person who doesn't care about their hair to get it under control and looking OK. YMMV.

Assuming you get along with your SO - what do you talk to them about? Pets, family, TV, etc? Use the non-private topics in conversations with other people.

I'm another hermit/socially-awkward narried grad student married who gets dragged to all kinds of work events. By just being my dorky, neurotic self and talking about stuff that interests me, I've made a lot of unexpected connections at social events I didn't even want to be at. When all else fails, I just kind of stand around, force myself to smile and nod when people are talking about their favorite tv shows or sports.
I hear you on the clothes topic. I'm assuming that you are female. Go shopping and get yourself a couple of new outfits. You don't have to spend a ton of money. Get a couple of nice things that you feel good in and that are comfortable. I have a
rayon jersey empire waist dress from Max studio
that is cute, hides my chunky grad student bod, yet shows off my boobage in a pleasing, yet non-tarty manner. You could wear this with black tights and a pair of mary janes. I am also a big fan of black dress pants, black V neck sweater and a funky necklace.

I have to go to my hubby's Republican things occasionally and I feel as you do.
I generally use them as an excuse to buy a new outfit and get a hair trim. Then I go look for someone else who looks uncomfortable, or barring that, someone who wants to suck up to my husband by being nice to his wife ;-)
(And if finances are limited, you really can find good stuff at consignment and thrift stores. It's worth the hunt. Go in the middle of the week for the best selection.)

At gatherings like these I usually find someone who looks as shy and awkward as I am. They're usually good for conversation.
Failing that, find someone and get them talking about themselves. Then you can just blink, smile, and nod. Ask questions about the company or their position. You'll come off seeming interested, not awkward.

Major social anxiety sufferer speaking, in the midst of a sort of social rebirth, speaking here... A few thoughts:
(1) I never really thought about it until I read about it as a speech disorder, but
, or "poverty of speech," was a major problem for me. I'd always give exceedingly-concise answers. For example, in your situation, when asked what I did, I'd probably answer, "I'm a doctoral student," whereas, "I'm a doctoral student at Harvard studying the economics of botany... It sounds boring, I'm sure, but it's actually pretty interesting once you get into it" or something of the sort would be a much better answer. By giving really terse answers, people were forced to either keep asking me simple questions, or they'd think I wasn't interested (or interesting!) and stop talking to me.
(2) Most people love talking about themselves. If you're like me and don't like to talk to strangers about yourself much, you can
redirect everything back to them, and most people will be all too glad. "I'm from Kansas. Where are
from? ... Texas? Really? What's it like there?" This can be slightly disconcerting at first, since you're effectively 'steering' the conversation, but it's at least a tactic to keep in your back pocket.
(3) I read
Living Fully with Shyness and Social Anxiety
, and found it pretty worthwhile. I think the takeaway was really just that there are tons of people out there in the same boat, and I was inspired to "practice."
It's easier said than done, I know, but don't think of it as a stressful situation: it's a way to practice with people who probably won't even remember you next time you meet.

Bravo, Plucky Sparrow. And at the end of the day, that's all you need to do to support your SO. Anyone who remembers you will say, "Yes, I recall that SO. Quite pleasant, a bit quiet and shy." As long as you're being your sincere self, you'll do fine.

Do this. Please. I am one of those people wishing that I could just find someone with whom to have a real conversation but am stuck in the torment of nodding and smiling at the plastic twit in front of me.
Some of us are better at the social thing, but still find most of these people tiresome. Look for people who look like the sort of people you'd rather talk to. Your SO should facilitate the intro.
Upscale second-hand store and consignment shops for clothes. Just look for a few things that are simple and flattering and save them for these occasions-- nice dark-colored slacks or long skirt, a simple light-gauge sweater or tunic top or whatever your style, and shoes with a low heel will do you fine.

Learn and repeat the mantra "interested people are interesting". This is useful in many, if not all situations: be
in your spouse's work and the people they work with, use that information to then initiate conversations at these parties ("oh, hey, I heard you just got a promotion, blah blah blah") thereby expressing
in what these people have to say, and talk a little bit about the
things you do ("I'm pretty excited about this thing that I yadda yadda..."). This is the way to eventually find yourself around other
people. It may sound ridiculously simplistic, but it works. I know you said meeting new people isn't a priority for you, but feeling comfortable in social situations is 1) a relief 2) makes meeting people effortless.

The long-term answer is simple, in concept: you just need more practice in social situations. There's a reason that people in retail or restaurant work are generally pretty personable and confident in social situations -- they interact with people all day, every day. They get soooo much practice making small talk, tweaking their wardrobe or hairstyle, deflecting unwanted flirtation, etc., that they make us technical folk look like total goobers. PLUS, their co-workers are social people too, so they can learn from them! If you're doing technical work all day, you're not going to get much practice with human interaction. (I stare at a computer screen most of the day, so I have to make a real effort to socialize, or it's not going to happen -- and I'll get back out of practice, and lapse back into shyness... loneliness... depression...)
Shyness and social awkwardness is not a personal failing -- it's just lack of practice.
But here's a quick, concrete social crutch that has really helped me in the past:
View a conversation as a tennis match.
They say something. You respond, but ADD A QUESTION for them to answer. They respond, hopefully adding their own question -- or at least mentioning a point of interest. You respond, adding another question. Etc. Back and forth. Like tennis.
In the beginning this will feel forced and artificial. But after a while, after some practice, you'll be able to maintain INTERESTING conversations without any crutches. Eventually you'll move on to more advanced communications, such as evaluating subtle body language, opening conversations with people you don't know, etc. And you'll get to meet a bunch of interesting people in the process. The planet is FULL of 'em as it turns out!

If you have an attitude like this, you'll almost certainly always be awkward and uncomfortable in these situations. There's no reason not to think that there will be people who are interested in your work, or glad to have met you in that context. Keep in mind -- those wacky business people who "don't understand" academia and seem so foreign or different? One of them is your SO.
You can't think of it as "getting through" the event without your conversations (and even facial expressions!) revealing that attitude. It is, as some have said above, a great chance to practice describing a layman's version of your work, which will be essential in getting others to recognize its value. You might even, you know, meet people who become friends or who are helpful for your research or your academic career.
A lot of the best, or most unexpected, mental stimulation can come from being in a foreign or unfamiliar situation. These events can be the catalysts for some of your best thinking, if you see them as sources of unusual influences.

I've got the M5 opening, which I measured at 98 mils; but I'm ordering the M7, which should be about 10 mils more open.
The Rico may look a bit cheap but the workmanship is outstanding and very consistent. It compares favorably to metal pieces costing 8 or 10 times more. It requires a standard rubber tenor ligature and I'm using a fibracell #3 reed.
I bought an M9 a few months ago. The M9 is a fairly wide opening. Well, I don't have the grizzled embouchure of more veteran players, but it worked with Vandoren 2.5's.
It is a worthwhile piece for the price.
If you're looking to be heard in pep band, marching band, or seedy rock venues, it is worth a look.
This thing roars.
It is grey (or at least, mine is--not sure why the picture is black), has a high baffle, and rather narrow chamber. It is the thin-style, so a ligature for a metal bari mouthpiece should suit it fine.
I would recommend it to most: the Metalite is the best starting point for a "jazz mouthpiece experience." Your horn will scream, and it costs about as much as the tax on those gold-plated things.
I decided to try a wider (M9) facing and am very pleased with the Rico. It has great power and although not as easy to control, is responsive at low volume. I bought the Rico to try the facing and because it was VERY inexpensive. This was an experiment but it soon became my mouthpiece of choice.
I am normally a tenor player, but I was looking for an inexpensive baritone piece to use. This really hit the spot! I've been using the M7 for pit orchestra playing, a horn section in a band, and for a jazz band. I'm sure I could maybe get a little bit better of a sound from an expensive mouthpiece, but I don't like having to deal with all the imperfections of metal mouthpieces. The metalite is suited for any situation, and produces a nice tone easily and without fuss. It's on the bright side, and the baffle is high like a guardala. This makes it much easier to blow, so I would definitely recommend increasing in tip opening if you're coming from a piece without a high baffle. If you are used to somewhere around an otto link 7*, I would recommend the M9. the M5, M7, and M9 have tip openings of .095, .105, and .115 respectively. The price makes this a no-brainer, and it's a good backup piece to have, as well.
