When the Atlanta Thrashers take to the ice tonight in Sunrise, Florida to play one of their division rivals, it will mark the seventh time in the last eight games that they've faced off against a team with a winning record…and ninth time in the last twelve.
Yes…we are talking about the Florida Panthers here.
The Panthers have begun 2011 by scratching out a pair of wins against the New York Rangers and Carolina Hurricanes. They have won 2 straight, are 5-1-2 in their last 8 games and 8-3-2 in their last 13 games.
In doing so, they've moved their record to 18-17-2… which in the wide-wide wacky world of NHL hockey counts as a winning record since 38 overall points after 37 games played amounts to a .514 points winning percentage.
Seeing the Florida Panthers above .500 in the standings happens just about as often as a hard freeze in South Beach. It's the first time all season that the Panthers, who are last in the Southeast Division and tenth in the Eastern Conference, have poked their heads above the "break even" mark this season and it's been since last February since they could boast such a record. Back then they were 24-23-9.
The last time the Thrashers and Panthers squared off was last November 17 when Atlanta kicked off a six game home stand. Florida won by a whisker that night by the score of 2-1. It lifted them to an 8-8-0 mark at the time…and left Atlanta at 7-9-3 and losers of 3 straight.
From what I have been told, during the second intermission of that game, there were a number of players in the home locker room that joined the coaching staff in making it very clear what they thought of the effort coming forth from a select few. They were upset because a 1-0 first period lead had slipped away during the second period…a period in which they allowed 16 shots on goal and saw the visiting Panthers spend so much time in the Thrashers defensive zone that they could have filed for Homestead Exemption.
Players were denied ice time in the third period and over the next several weeks, a couple of those players that found their way in the dog house…cough…Nic Bergfors… cough…Ben Eager…saw their time in the press box increase.
The next day, Andrew Ladd was named team captain and the Thrashers have played to a 14-6-3 record ever since.
Stephen Weiss leads the Panthers with 12 goals scored on the season. He has five in the past eight games alone. Michael Frolik's 25 overall points, (8 goals, 17 assists), is tops on the Florida roster.
Tomas Vokoun, who stopped 38 of 39 Thrashers shots in their November 17 win, is now 15-13-1 with a .926 SV% and 2.43 GAA. Last Sunday he pounced on all 32 shots faced against the Rangers for his fifth shutout of the season.
Florida's anemic 9.4% effective power play is dead last in the NHL but they boast the 8th best PK unit, killing off 84.0% of their opponent's man advantage situations.
As I'm sure you already know, Dustin Byfuglien leads the Thrashers with 16 goals and 41 points. He has six power play tallies and six game-winners, including the blast in overtime that beat the Canadiens up in Montreal Sunday afternoon.
In dishing out a trio of helpers Sunday, Toby Enstrom has taken over the lead in assists with 27.
In between the pipes will be Ondrej Pavelec. Opie is 14-8-4 with a .936 SV%, 2.14 GAA and a pair of goose eggs laid up on the scoreboard. A win in south Florida tonight would set an all-time mark for wins in a season for Pavelec.
Friday night, the Thrashers will return home to play the Toronto Maple Leafs. It'll be the first of only five home games in the month of January, so there won't be a lot of opportunities to head down to Philips to see a game over the next few weeks.
However, there are some good deals to be had on what home dates there are and you can take advantage of them by clicking –>HERE<– and using promo code RAWHIDE.
Also, the Thrashers have made available to readers of this little online forum a special offer on tickets for next Friday's game against the Philadelphia Flyers. For just $31 dollars you can procure a seat in section 205 to watch take on one of the top teams in the conference. Those seats would normally go for $57.
But there is a very limited supply available at that price and they'll go on a first-come, first-served basis. So if you're interested in joining me and some of my friends there, contact Karin Beckman at 404-878-3781 or e-mail her at email@example.com.
Just ask her for Rawhide's POMPOM ticket offer.

Last night's timely shutout by Roloson in his first game for the Lightning, was just the 14th shutout for Tampa Bay in their last 368 games. They have three already this year but haven't had at least four in any season since 2005-06.

Red Light-always been a Beauchemin fan. I am sure we wants out of the Tronna nuthouse anyhow. Loafs will have alotta cap space, but who wants to go play there? Kaberle surely wants out of the nightmare he has had to deal with the past 2 seasons. Burke should have dumped Kabs when he had at least 1 year left on his current deal. Kaberle is just a rental now.

What is the significance of placing Eager on IR versus just a scratch? It effectively does the same thing no? Same question on Antropov last week. He missed a couple of games, was placed on IR, then suddenly was in the lineup off IR?
Since we don't have salary cap issues, is it just an opportunity to bring up someone from Chicago to have more available bodies?
January 5th, 2011
11:26 am
"Seeing the Florida Panthers above .500 in the standings is about rare as spotting cats in the ally behind a Chinese restaurant."
Thrashers need a big game tonight. This Panthers team is OK, but not great. Can not allow 50 SOG like in Montreal or we are gonna just wear Opie out!
January 5th, 2011
11:26 am
"Since we don't have salary cap issues, is it just an opportunity to bring up someone from Chicago to have more available bodies?"
TT: In short, the answer is yes. Guys on IR don't count against the 23-man active roster, so if they want to recall someone from Chicago they can, and then you can healthy scratch 3 others. Slater is day-to-day, so he's a scratch candidate, as is Meyer. So, I think they can recall Stapleton or someone else if they want.

Per C-Viv, no call-up expected, but he didn't say anything about a trade! Perhaps a trade is brewing and they need the roster space.

@Hoof – Yeah, you are certainly correct. This is a very big game and the 50 shots on goal the Habs gave Thrashy is unacceptable. I don't get to see all of the games but from what games I have seen OP and Buffy are carrying this team and their backs will soon be tired. The rest need to step it up. Big test tonight and good luck!

There is a very real possibility that Vancouver could be the only Canadian team in the playoffs…how cool would that be?
some chatter yesterday about the Thrashers showing some interest in Versteeg…not sure what would have to be given up, but that might be a possibility.

Boo Hoo Canada, you'd think they would "know" how to run a winning franchise from all the
talk those fans have, but every year it is THE SAME OLD STORY in Canada, their teams DO NOT WIN.
It would be fantastic for all SE teams to make it, can you hear those wining Canada fans then ???
January 5th, 2011
12:48 pm
@hip czech – Thanks for the link, good article. It could very well happen that 4 teams in the SE could fill out half of the playoff bracket. It has happened to the NW division a few times before when the Avs, Flames, Oilers and Canucks were all good and all made it in. Thrashy will make it – baring an injury to OP. And if the other 3 make it as well, the Thrash will make a huge accomplishment as they play the others in their division more than the rest of the league.

Cats have been playing well, lately. I don't have their last 20 games stats handy, but I have been noticing them banking points with some regularity now. It's a big game, like they all are from this point on, for the Thrashers. And the Cats, too! The Cats think they can make the playoffs. It's been quite a drought for them. They came close, fairly recently, but lost a tie-breaker to Montreal for the 8th spot.
Florida is trying to change the 'Tude in the lockerroom. They sent Nathan Horton packing, then asked if anyone else wanted to leave. So, they're trying to have a lockerroom filled with players who either (1) want to be there or (2) don't have an overt objection to being there.
I've always said that we must compare ourselves to teams in similar situations. I usually cite the TB Lightning, the Columbus Blue Jackets, Edmonton, Carolina, Buffalo, but why not throw Florida into the mix? They've had bad ownership. They're in a non-traditional market, fighting with three (3) other major professional sports teams for the entertainment dollars (Heat, Dolphins, Marlins). They haven't shown much of a capacity to run their team, for the better part of a decade. So, matchups with them are another chance to show … just how far we've come against those clubs, who found themselves in a similar situation, either by market size, difficulty in attracting free agents, overcoming a learning curve about the sport, or ridiculous ownership.

Brendan, I have been monitoring Ethan Horton in Boston. He started off pretty will with the Broones, but has recently went back to his Florida ways. Ethan will find out that the fans in Chowderhead-town are not as patient and forgiving as the ones in Miami Beach.
January 5th, 2011
1:22 pm
What?? There are hockey fans in Miami Beach???
I jest, I jest, but I do recall a pretty sparce crowd for the December 5th tilt with the Ice Birds there in Sawgrass last year. There were probably 8,000 (max) at that game…for a SATURDAY!! They hadn't even been eliminated from the playoffs yet. Of course, everyone wants to single out the Thrashers these days because our owners are maroons.
January 5th, 2011
1:24 pm
"Whut them gurls need is sum me mixed in"
Fixed your typo, Jethro.
I expect to see a well rested Thrashers' club to have their legs under them again and come out flying and go go go all night. Looking for a big game from Ladd tonight. If we can avoid Vokoun standing on his head, I think we'll see a good tilt and the good guys to come away with 2 pts.
January 5th, 2011
1:42 pm
They damn well better have their legs Joe, that excuse has now outlived its statute of limitations. Time to start banking mad points against teams below us in the standings. Win 19 or 20 of the next 40 and we should get in to the cool kids dance! Start peeling off the clothing from the cardboard cutout!!

Man, I could really use a strong game by the "Boys in Blue" tonight and not one of those 2-1, 1-0 or so jobs they seem to always have against "The Kitties". They need to make up for that stinker they played in ATL before the streak and Ladd being named captain.
January 5th, 2011

Four teams to the playoffs from the South East is quite possible when you look at the contenders' upcoming schedules. People talk and worry a lot about teams below the Thrashers and their games in hand but the Thrashers have already got the toughest part of their season out of the way. They face the fewest contenders in the league at 23 and have 17 games left against weaker opponents including tonight's game that they should get two points from. The big plus is the amount of rest and practice they will now get in.
Compare that to the Rangers who have already played 19 softies with only 11 more to go. They also must face 30 contenders, 18 of those on the road. The NYR are in trouble. The Habs will have faced the most softies of the contenders in the East at 34 and have 16 left with 7 at home. They should get in. As should Carolina who has 17 left against those out of the hunt, even though their schedule is pretty packed in the end. Two points in regulation against the Rangers tonight will go a long way. The Thrashers can deal with the Canes next week.
The difficulty with four teams from the same conference is that they all must face each other so many times – unless they give each other a point which has happened a lot this year in the SE. That's FL's problem. Being one of those weaker teams they must face 32 teams that are in contention, 14 of those on the road. They may be above .500 but it does not look good for them. The schedule starts getting tight against some very good teams. The only bright spot is they have already played 21 of 41 on the road. But, so have the Thrashers who have a better road record.
It's getting very interesting to say the least. I'd love to see four Southern teams in the Stanley Cup playoffs! FL knocking out MTL with only one Canadian team in the post season is just too much to ask. But, we always got hope! Just not tonight Florida.
January 5th, 2011
4:00 pm
Cornbread, if 4 teams get in from the SE, then I would speculate that a lot of 3 point games must happen during those games vrs. SE opponites. So, if we really want 4 teams from the SE, we will have to sit thru some nailbitters. If we watch Fl. vrs Caps, etc. etc.
January 5th, 2011
4:01 pm
The rumors are flying about a trade especially now with Eager out. It's quite possible that he must be part of the package for any team to take Bergfors. The soft Swede with the soft hands is also the softest player in the NHL. He has the league worst 2 hits and 4 blocked shots all year – all of those by accident I'm sure. Not to mention he's a top line winger who doesn't shoot the puck enough or go to the high traffic areas for the garbage. And people really wonder why this guy has not been playing?
He thinks of himself as a Sedin twin but he's far from it and that's not going to fly in Ramsay's or Dudley's system. I don't see it playing out in too many team's plans especially Torontos. It's going to take a two or three for one deal to move him. Hands of cement and grit plus a tough prospect along with a softie for one player of value. Is that a high price? Probably worth it.
January 5th, 2011
4:03 pm
Good Lord, Cornbread. If four teams from the SE get in, Dallas, LA and PHO get in, but none of the three teams from metro NYC, Buffalo and only one Canadian team makes it in…..
Would the Canuckleheads try to cancel the playoffs?
January 5th, 2011
4:06 pm
Even though you can analyze the schedule and call certain teams "softies", it really depends on how WE play. We have beaten the Caps 3 times already and also Detroit, Boston twice, etc. Meanwhile, we just lost to the biggest softie on paper NJ, after a brutal stretch.
By the time we play the Devils twice in March, they may be playing better than anyone in the league. Is anyone considering the Islanders softies right now at 7-1-1- or something in their last stretch? They beat Detroit too.
It's great analysis and good fodder for a blog — right now, we survived the 1st half and more and control our own destiny. We only need to concern ourselves with W's and banking points in our own games, especially in the division.

Rawhide, if you posted that photo on ESPN you would have been fired. Be glad they don't have a PC crowd at AJC. ESPN is out of control with their firings. I guess no one gets a second chance there anymore. One mistake, GONE!
January 5th, 2011
4:55 pm
Dwayne that is correct and it is what has occurred already. That is why it is so tight. I believe a third of the South East games have gone to OT. Additionally, the Thrashers have played the most OT games in the NHL with 14 followed by TBL with 13, WSH with 12 and CAR is 5th in the East with 10! Poor old FL has only taken it to OT 6 times.
Hoof it would be a beautiful thing wouldn't it? It's already starting to get played out on the TSN boards. Not very happy commentors over there.
TT NJ "MAY" be playing great hockey in March but if you watched last night's game the likelihood of that happening is nonexistent. They are horrible. There is no hope for them. They played horribly in their win against the Thrashers as well. Two unlucky turnovers by an exhausted team was the difference. Yes the Thrashers must win and every odds maker in Vegas and Canada has them winning against those soft teams and the Rangers not faring so well in their upcoming brutal schedule. Sucks much worse to be them than the Thrashers. I don't see this very good Thrashers team collapsing down a much lighter stretch. Not so much for the Rangers and possibly Habs. Could they play great? Sure, but it's a much more difficult task for two teams below them in the standings that I do not believe are better than the Thrashers.
January 5th, 2011
5:03 pm
Before you get carried away with the four teams from the Southeast Division making the playoffs, try to remember that this division has only ever had two teams qualify during any one playoff season. It has happened six times in 11 seasons, and once only was the 2nd SE team seeded higher than 6th (Florida was 5th in 1999-00).
Since 1998-99…
Northeast had four teams in 2009-10, 2003-04, 2001-02 and 1998-99
Atlantic had four teams in 2008-09, 2007-08, 2006-07
Central had four teams in 2008-09
Northwest had four teams in 2002-03
Pacific had four teams in 1999-2000
January 5th, 2011
5:24 pm
So why did we trade for Bergfors in the first place? Looks like we overestimated his value a bit, ay?
January 5th, 2011
5:46 pm
Bergfors thrived in Anderson's system, but suffers in Ramsey's.
The thing that might help the sale is Bergfors played well in New Jersey under LeMaire. He was pissed when he was traded to Atlanta and refused to sign a long term deal here. Bergfors lack of shot blocking and hitting can be sold that he is saving himself for his team, next year.
It is all pretty weak, but the reality is, when you are selling you do everything to put lipstick on the pig.
January 5th, 2011
6:18 pm
I dunno about who'll we'll trade (besides Bergfors & Eager's a safe bet too) or who'lll we'll get this year and frankly I'm surprised that I don't really care. What I care about is locking up guys like Buff, Ladd, etc. ASAP and hope for the best this year.
After that this town might actually ATTRACT TALENT!!! Solid free agents and trade-ees willing to sign multi-year contracts…in ATLANTA?!?!?
With a solid playoff performance from this roster under Ramsay I wholeheartedly believe that'd be the case.
January 5th, 2011

Check out the TSN Power Rankings this week:
The Thrashers have moved up to 5th place from the previous weeks 6th position. LOVE IT!
The real shocker though is this: "As far as Canadian teams go, the Montreal Canadiens are the only team aside from Vancouver to rank in the Top 16.
Calgary (24th), Toronto (27th), Ottawa (28th) and Edmonton (29th) are all going through some difficult times, with rankings that reflect as much."
Talk of 4 Southeastern Conference teams making the playoffs and the Canadian power rankings having 4 Canadian teams in the bottom 6. This can not make the case for the Diques and those hailing from Winnipeg or Hamilton.

OMG, Matt McConnell is awful. I'm not usually a guy that feels the need to point these things out, but he clearly demonstrates that he's simply a professional announcer and not a "hockey guy". All he does is spew regurgitated minutia and generic observations. Send him the way of Natalie Taylor.

That may be the most physical I've seen Bergfors play all year. Bangin' along the boards out there. Nice goal. After that interview, anyone else get the idea that he's still not comfortable here? Maybe it's just his personality?
January 5th, 2011
8:58 pm
I think Bergie is struggling with the English language. This interview wasn't much different than his first after the trade last year. Poor kid looks uncomfortable in froint of the camera. Earlier this year he was announced as the guest on the live wrap up show at Philips but "couldn't make it." As long as that wrister works I don't mind the interview skills.
January 5th, 2011

Agreed, Hoping…Bergie seemed way uncomfortable.

Thrashers27, Oduya was trying so hard to make things happen at the end of the 2nd period. The puck bounces over his stick, he falls down, puck bounces again. All I could think was "Man, that has to be driving him crazy."
January 5th, 2011

Pevs is busting his butt tonight and it shows. He could have had a hat trick a couple of times in the second period.
The boys have their legs back as you can see by all the penalties that Florida is taking. The only thing keeping the Panthers in the game is Clemmenson right now.
January 5th, 2011
9:14 pm
"They damn well better have their legs Joe, that excuse has now outlived its statute of limitations."
It's not an excuse, it's precisely what happened to them. When your legs go there's nothing you can do and it's even more exposed in Ramsay's go go go system. The good news is that tonight proves that's all it was and the second half schedule is much more evenly spaced out, we're set pretty dang well for our run in the 2nd half. I got nervous a little worrying that Tampa fixed their goalie cluster by getting Roloson after his performance last night . . . not worried so much anymore right now!

Come on!
January 5th, 2011
10:15 pm
I'll gladly take the two points, but the outcome should not have been that close. As great as Pavs has been he still sucks at stopping breakaways. Wish Pevs could have notched the breakaway goal himself for the hat trick. Would have put the game away in my opinion.
January 5th, 2011
10:23 pm
50 points, nice…
January 5th, 2011
10:31 pm
Great road win tonight. It was important not to give the Panthers any hope or momentum. We've got our hands full worrying about the Canes.
Pavelec really deserves an All-Star nod, but will he just miss the cut? Fleury is the automatic fans' selection. Thomas is a shoo-in. That leaves one spot. Henrik has comparable numbers to Pavs, but he has five shutouts to Pavs' two. Carey Price has four shutouts and more wins. Eeeeeeeeh. I really hope our guy is chosen, but I'm already bracing myself for disappointment. Rosters are announced on the 11th, I believe.
January 5th, 2011
10:46 pm
An ugly win counts just as much as a pretty one.
January 5th, 2011
10:51 pm
Four-point swing! That's the story of the night. Good game from Peverley. Truthfully, had this not finished so favorably, we'd have to look at Peverley's "late" second period breakaway chance as the turning point in the game. I thought there was room … had Peverley gone 5-hole. Good save by Clemmeson.
Joe Friday, re: Tampa Bay goaltending, I thought Red Light had nailed it when he projected Nabakov as the next Bolts netminder. But, they went with Roloson in a trade with the Isles. Was this his 1st game as a Bolt? Maybe it was "nerves?" Just kidding. Roloson is quite a veteran of this league.
I got worried when I saw big Buff go down, sliding into the boards so awkwardly. I hope there aren't any lingering effects of that. I was screaming for Kane to get the empty-netter, but it just slide wide of the goal. I haven't checked lately, but I remember that a week or so ago, Atlanta had 4-6 players on pace for 20 goals. It'd be great if that happens!
The NY Rangers won tonight, in the overtime, over Carolina. So, the 'Canes get the pity point, but that's better than the win, I suppose. I guess I just refuse to take the Rangers seriously, this year. I, frankly, don't know how they've fared so well! They've got a nice young player, I think his name is Stepan? He had a "hat trick" very early in the season. I guess I just saw the Blueshirts with Todd White and Erik Christensen, and figured they were headed to the lottery draft. But Lundqvist has played well. Gaborik is a major star. Frolov must be doing something. Sather and Tortorella keep marching on. The bottom line, tonight, is the Rangers won again.
January 5th, 2011
10:58 pm
Now that I think about it, the All-Star game's probably not going to be three East goalies and three West goalies, will it? With the new format, the NHL will probably just pick the best goalies from both conferences.
Hope Toby makes it, too. Buff, duh, is in without a doubt.
January 5th, 2011
11:02 pm
Brendan — Roloson had a shutout in his first game. I immediately thought, "Oh no, now Tampa has a goalie. They're gonna be Cup contenders."
Uh. So much for that.

Team Canada Juniors go from Masters of the Universe to goats in one hour. Canadian fans sunffering from the same disease as European soccer fans and American fans in general by evolving their lives on whether their team wins or loses.
I don't feel sorry for Canada after the way the shots their mouthes off after beating the U.S. Serves them right.

From the Toronto Globe and Mail-
"Thanks Team Canada. That showing in Buffalo will make for some pretty awkward breakfast conversations this morning. How many kids were sent off to bed after the second period with the game well in hand; a gold medal assured, and woke up this morning only to learn that their hockey dog died?
At least one that I know of, I can tell you that.
"But Daddy, you said Canada was going to win for sure. It's your fault Daddy."
What do you do in that situation? Blame the goalie, I guess."

I thought I saw Pavelec turn around and scoop the puck out of the net after McCabe's shot in the 3rd…thought it was funny Sportsouth didn't show a replay and was absolutely stunned it wasn't reviewed.
Apparently it was really in the net…there is an uproar on Panthers sites about why it wasn't asked to be reviewed by the refs or buzzed from Toronto. Also, looks like the NHL is pulling all videos of the clip of the web.
Oh well, we'll take it…

On the Florida no goal, Bogosian made a great play as he ran into the referee and kept him from looking into the net. The ref looks like he was skating in to catch a peek and then Bogos helmet hit his chest.
We will take it but I am not surprised the Florida fans are pissed. I know I would be.
Here is a link to the Panther's article with the video at the end of the page.

Thrashers are winning close games where in the past, we usually came up short. Note that the Panthers had 4 players in the Junior Championships that all made contributions.

Nice solid road win! Makes up for the NJ loss that had many worried. Don't get too excited about the Lightning blowout. They were FLAT out of the gate after an emotional 1-0 shutout the night before, whereas the Pens were coming off a four day rest and mad about losing to the Caps in the Classic. Sounds a little familiar to the situation Atlanta faced recently in Boston and Pittsburgh as well. When Tampa loses, they lose BIG! 8-1 to the B's, 6-0 to FL, now another 8-1 beatdown. No wonder the +/- is so poor for them and their goalies GAA. 10% of their games (losses and the 8-7 Flyers win) are brutal for numbers which means the stats are out of whack for that entire team. the Thrashers have a real ggod shot of catching up now with the Bolts on another road 'back to back' this weekend. I'm conceding the the division to the Caps despite that strange losing streak.

Carolina-not conceding division to Washington yet because I expected that by January 1, they would have a comfortable lead in the division. something is missing there and the Caps have not found it yet. Their offense will be OK, but the Caps still have questions in goal AND they lack the stud defenseman, the bedrock guy. The Caps should have made a play for Pronger when he was available 2 years ago.
January 6th, 2011

I looked at the video of the McCabe goal again, I'd be hard pressed to see how central command in Toronto would overturn the call on the ice.
To overstate the obvious, he retruned to being Peverywhere last night. Quite a game for 47.
Modin is an enigma. Slow, but drives to the net as well as anyone. Makes a great back check annd then stupidly hooks his guy. With his injuries, I still think Freddy is not quite in game shape yet>If he rounds into form, he may have something left in his tank for the 2nd half. I just have a feeling that he's gonna pot 8 -10 down the stretch.

I'd say the McCabe goal was good.
I'd also say the Higgins goal was bad. He was offsides by a mile.
January 6th, 2011
10:02 am
I know…I shouldn't be down on Bogosian but I couldn't resist. He just irritates me sometimes. I just want to see him absolutely demolish someone in the corner sometime. He just seems tentative to throw his weight around.
January 6th, 2011

Call me blind, but I couldn't see the puck in the net on the McCabe "goal". I certainly didn't see any reason for Panthers fans to be raising a stink about.
January 6th, 2011
10:05 am
I watched the video of McCabe's attempt for a goal several times and paused it at several instances, and did not see the puck completely cross the line – in fact, it looked like the puck was outside the post the majority of the time and might have been pused to rest on the goal line but it did not completely cross that line…

World Be Free:
Gotta disagree my friend!
The Caps problems are totally unrelated to goaltending. In the regular season last year, I believe they scored 3 goals or more 66 times, and had a 50-6-10 record, which could be considered cause for concern. But, this year, despite Varlamov being available for only 14 games so far, the Caps are 21-0-3 when scoring 3 goals or more, but are only 2-12-3 when scoring 2 or less. That means, they almost have equaled the number of games they were held to 2 goals or less in 41 games than they had in all 82 last year.
You might be able to make a case that they could have problems in playoff games, but the numbers above for the two 22-year-olds in net have improved drastically this season.
During the 8-game skid, the magnificent Caps offense scored only 11 goals and more than 2 just once. In their last nine games, the Caps have allowed only 15 goals. In the playoffs last season, the Caps scored 5 goals in their four losses. In 2008-09, Varlamov had played only six regular season games, and yet still had a .918 save percentage and a 2.53 GAA in 13 playoff games.
Ovehckin's and Green's production numbers are way off, and the secondary scoring has been brutal this year and their shooting percentage numbers are awful (Ovechkin-7.4%, Laich-7.7%, Knuble-9.4%) in comparison to last season.
BTW, Ovi had 73 even-strength points in 72 games last year, this year he has 28 in 341 games.

Ooops. Ovi has 28 points in 41 games (not 341).

Winter Bloom...Review...DNF
There would be tunnels of roses, beds of strawberries, fountains of overflowing herbs. And there might even be love...
In the heart of bustling modern Dublin is a littered, overgrown garden of tangled weeds and a stagnant, hidden pond. Belonging to an iron-willed elderly lady named Mrs. Prendergast, who is rumored to have murdered and buried her husband there, the garden draws Eva Madigan, a young mother struggling to move on from the pain of her past. Eva is joined by Emily, a beautiful but withdrawn college dropout; Uri, an old-world immigrant; Seth, his all-too-handsome son; and occasionally even Mrs. Prendergast herself. But what drives Eva to transform the neglected urban wilderness? What makes the others want to help her? Even as Mrs. Prendergast puts the land up for sale, the thorny lives of all the gardeners are revealed and slowly start to untangle. Overgrown secrets are dug up and shared. Choices are made; a little pruning is in order. Now Eva is about to discover that every garden is a story of growth toward a final harvest...
It's a story of friendship and how care for an abandoned garden brings people together, which is a terrific premise. It just wasn't a book I could get into. I didn't find the characters particularly likeable and, ultimately, there wasn't anything to motivate me to finish it.
The book contains prolific and unnecessary use of the F-word.

How do I pleasure my boyfriend?
Ok so I'm not very experienced in sex or anything to do with it for that matter, But my boyfriend is, He's very good at making me fill good but it seems like he's doing all the work. I want to please him but I don't know how to. like I said I'm not experienced, he's my first guy I've been with, so I'm really lost here what can I do to pleasure him. Please give me tips and how to do things, I really need your help. thanks
What's Your Opinion?
Most Helpful Opinion
i noticed that you said in a comment that your boyfriend just tells you to do whatever you want. this would be a blessing if you were experienced, but as you said you aren't I would tell him that what you really want to do is make him feel good and you just need some direction. when I first had sex with my boyfriend I asked him the same thing and he just said "if it feels good to you, then it will probably feel good to me" and for the most part that's true. there are a few places that make my toes curl, while the same places on him make him jump and say "don't do that, it tickles" go figure.you just have to let him know how much it means for you to pleasure him to his liking and as you become more experienced you will, in turn, become more adventurous, good luck :)
What Guys Said 2
at first to get him really turned on when you kiss him put your hands on his face like you touching him gently (meaning the kiss means more then a kiss to you) then kiss his neck softly guys go crazy over it (im a girl I don't know why this thing says I'm a boy but w/e) anyways just do those 2 things to get off on a good start and it leads on to whatever happens ;) good luck
I think you should be talking about this with your boyfriend. Just ask him what he wants you to do. Aside from sex, giving him head (which isn't terrible difficult I imagine), and kissing and whatnot, I don't think there's a whole lot of a learning curve.
I've asked him before what he wanted me to do but he keeps saying "whatever you want to do" but I really don't know.
What Girls Said 3
just touch and rub him down there. Anywhere in a five inch radius of it, will start to excite him. play the old 'does this make you nervous?" game to make him really want you lol.
i wasnt either when I started dating my boyfriend, but practice makes perfect. blindfold him, play some music and turn down the lights to set the mood. start with both of your clothes on, then slowly take them off as your rubbing and kissing. then eventually you'll both be naked. then start rubbing and kissing more and all that stuff. it will drive him willdd
well, if you want to make a game of it, you could be "dominant" and make him tell you want he wants while you're in the act. that's what I did with my boyfriend and it turns out he likes for me to take charge every once in a while. and after you learn what pleases him then you won't have to ask anymore, unless you just want to make him tell you again.

Found June 30, 2013 on The PensNation:
PLAYERS: Tyler Kennedy, Jarome Iginla, Ray Shero, Laurent Brossoit
TEAMS: Pittsburgh Penguins, Columbus Blue Jackets, San Jose Sharks
TEAMS: Pittsburgh Penguins, Columbus Blue Jackets, San Jose Sharks
Source: Greg Southam/Edmonton Journal The fans of the Pittsburgh Penguins were simply waiting for their team to select a player with the 50th overall pick they acquired from the San Jose Sharks for the rights to forward Tyler Kennedy. After a first round in which the Penguins did not pick a player because of their trade for Jarome Iginla, general manager Ray Shero traded the 50th overall pick and the 89th overall pick to the Columbus Blue Jackets in exchange for the 44th overall pick. With the 44th overall selection the draft, the Penguins chose goaltender Tristan Jarry. The 18 year-old goaltender played for the Edmonton Oil Kings of the WHL this past season and was ranked as the second/third best prospect at the position in this draft class. Jarry recorded a 18-7 record, 1.61 goals-against average, and a .936 save-percentage this season backing up Laurent Brossoit. His 6 shutouts was tied for the second most in the WHL. Jarry recorded a shutout in the 2013 CHL Top Prospects Game and was named the player of the game. Jarry is a very athletic goaltender with good size that has looked great when he has played. The only problem is that he has not played all that much since he has been a backup in Edmonton. Jarry will need to get more playing time in order to develop into a starting goaltender someday. With his great vision, he reads the play very well, which is one of the best aspects of his game. The Penguins clearly wanted Jarry since they traded up to get him.

A 10-year-old girl was shot to death Saturday night while watching TV in the living room of her North Highlands home, Sacramento county sheriff's investigators said Sunday.
The barrage of bullets that penetrated the house from outside also wounded the girl's father and mother.
On Sunday morning, a cluster of four bullet holes marked the front window of the home on Channing Way, penetrating the glass several inches over the top of the love seat the little girl was apparently sitting on, facing the family's TV across the living room. Three other bullet holes could be seen around the window frame and door.
The girl's parents, both wounded by the bullets, are expected to recover, said Sgt. Jason Ramos, spokesman for the Sacramento County Sheriff's Department.
"All the people injured were innocent victims," said homicide Detective Scott Swisher. "There are no disputes we are aware of at this time. We believe the suspects came to the location in a vehicle, and we don't yet have a description."
About half a dozen relatives from Suisun City arrived at the home Sunday morning, consumed with grief and questions. "We have no idea what happened. She was a very happy little girl," said Tony Reys, the uncle of the victim, Elvira Campos. "She was sitting right there in the middle seat."
Reys said his sister Imelda Tinoco and brother-in-law Ernesto Campos called him and the rest of the family Saturday night with the heartbreaking news. Reys said Ernesto Campos, a construction worker, had been shot in a shoulder. Tinoco was shot in an arm.
The family had lived in the house for about two years, Reys said. A photograph of Elvira flashing a big smile sat on the TV.
Saul Campos, Elvira's cousin, said, "We just can't believe this happened. Elvira was just so happy all the time and used to make parties. She knew everybody."
He said the victim's father "doesn't drink and he don't have a problem with nobody."
The victim has two older brothers a 14-year-old who was working on his computer in another room and a 20-year-old who wasn't home, investigators said.
They are not sure how many shooters were involved.
A canvass of the neighborhood was conducted; homicide detectives and CSI units responded to the scene.
Anyone having information regarding this incident is asked to contact the sheriff's homicide bureau at (916) 874-5115.
Tip information may also be left anonymously at www.sacsheriff.com, by texting to 274637 (CRIMES) and entering the keyword SSD, or by calling (916) 874-8477.

Hello everyone!
I'm proud to tell you that a new version of pgxn_utils was released!
In this version some errors with OpenSSL was fixed (thanks @theory to report then), and now you can release an extension to PGXN in five steps even using Ruby 1.8!
Another change was the executable's name that changed from pgxn_utils to pgxn-utils for a close integration with next version of PGXN Client, but some work need to be done, yet.
I used pgxn-utils to release itself to PGXN!
$ pgxn-utils release pgxn_utils-0.1.3.zip
Enter your PGXN username: guedes
Enter your PGXN password: ***********************
Trying to release pgxn_utils-0.1.3.zip ... released successfully!
Visit: http://pgxn.org/dist/pgxn_utils/0.1.3/
Cool, eh? So, since the PGXN's mirrors were synced and you have pgxn client, you could install pgxn_utils using:
pgxn install pgxn_utils
If you don't have pgxn client you can install it using rubygems
gem install pgxn_utils
Have fun!
My presentation at the 2012 PDXPUG PGDay. It covers the basics of how to create useful extensions to PostgreSQL and distribute them on PGXN—without needing to learn C.
Now you can release a distribution to PGXN in five steps!
First, install it:
Second, create your extension, optionally overwrite some defaults:
mkdir $HOME/extensions
cd $HOME/extensions
pgxn_utils skeleton my_extension --maintainer "Dickson S. Guedes"
Third, code!
Fourth, bundle it:
pgxn_utils bundle my_extension
Extension generated at: /home/guedes/extensions/my_extension-0.0.1.zip
Fifth, release it:
pgxn_utils release my_extension-0.0.1.zip
Enter your PGXN username: guedes
Enter your PGXN password: ******
Trying to release my_cool_extension-0.0.1.zip ... released successfully!
Visit: http://manager.pgxn.org/distributions/my_cool_extension/0.0.1
Ah, you can export PGXN_USER and PGXN_PASSWORD if you are tired to type your username and password everytime.
Check this out!.
Aaaand manager.pgxn.org is back and better than ever!
manager.pgxn.org will be going down for an upgrade shortly. Will holler when it's back.
Validate your META.json:
cpan PGXN::Meta::Validator;
validate_pgxn_meta META.json
META.json is OK
PGCon slides: http://www.pgcon.org/2011/schedule/events/291.en.html
This was a productive weekend that allowed me to work on some new features in pgxn_utils and I'm proud to tell you that a new version was released!
Trying to simplify your extension-development life I've added two tasks to pgxn_utils: change and bundle. The first one is just a convenient way to change META information about extension, incrementally, the second one is an easy way to archive your extension in a zip file well named.
To install it just type:
Or, if you don't want to install it yet, see it in action on this screencast [3:05].
Work in progress…
I'm working now to simplify the release, creating a task to send bundled file to PGXN.
There are a lot of work to do yet so, please, tell me if you found a bug or have suggestions.
Have a nice code! ":)

Do you think wearing on-body cameras on duty should be mandatory?
Law enforcement agencies have been using in-car video cameras for a little more than two decades. The devices have defended officers against nuisance claims of abusive or even brutal behavior. But now some agencies are beginning to ask if in-car video systems have been made obsolete by officer-worn systems.
Three Euclid (Ohio) Police officers pulled a man out of a burning, smoke-filled truck on Saturday hit a utility pole and stopped next to a brick building. Watch the officer's raw TASER Axon video, then read the full story here.
Until recently the technology was limited to traffic stops and perhaps some critical incidents. Now, video can be used to document every aspect of a law enforcement officer's shift. But the question that each agency has to answer remains: Is that a good thing?
TASER International compiled this video montage showing footage from field officers using its TASER Axon on-body system.

American Girl Store Coming To Franklin
By Shannon Royster
FRANKLIN, Tenn. - Something big is making its way to Williamson County. American Girl announced Wednesday they have selected the Cool Springs Galleria as the site of its 17th retail store.
The store will be the first in Tennessee. It will also be part of a big redevelopment plan at the south end of the mall.
Previously fans were forced to travel to Atlanta, Chicago and New York for the American Girl experience. The store in Franklin will spread across 9-thousand square feet and is scheduled to open by the spring of 2015.
Ashley May with Cool Springs Galleria says you will find more than dolls there. "It will have a bistro so you can have birthday parties, a mother-daughter lunch," she said. "They'll have a doll hair salon so you can fix your doll's hair."
The store will even have a T-shirt boutique that allows kids to design doll-sized shirts. Jeremiah Pyron works with the Williamson County Chamber of Commerce. He said the store is not just great news for fans of the dolls but also for the local economy.
"Not only will this be great for retail industry here, but it will spur more hotel nights which in turn will help retail and restaurants in the area," Pyron said.
The American Girl doll experience is so big hotels near the stores have created American Girl vacation getaways. Representatives with both the Marriott and Embassy Suites in Cool Springs say they hope to also offer similar American Girl slumber party packages in Tennessee.

Ostional Travel Tips
Ostional Vacation Rentals Will Become Your New Home Away From Home
For Costa Rican Ostional travel, no one can beat Guanacaste beach homes. One has to deal with staff and other travelers when staying in any hotels or resorts. However, vacation rentals you'll find at VRBO will let you avoid these hassles at a reasonable price. You'll be able to enjoy yourself in the privacy and comfort you're used to at home while having the chance to explore beautiful Costa Rica.
Guanacaste Beach Homes Provide the Perfect Relaxing Getaway
Your vacation rental will open up a world of sun, fun and relaxation. Western Costa Rica has some of the most beautiful beaches in the world. You can swim, play and lounge in the sun, but there you'll also find some of the best surfing in Costa Rica. This area houses multiple surf shops, surf schools and forgiving waves for those just learning. In addition, the Ostional coast manages to have great fishing year round with everything from tuna and sea bass to mahi-mahi and marlins. It's a breeze to fish from the shore, but if you're feeling adventurous, you can hire one of the numerous charter boats to take you out to a deep-sea location.
An Ostional Vacation Lets You Choose Your Level of Action
The adjacent towns offer a wide range of activities away from the beach. Of course, one could take a horseback ride along the beach, but why not take one through the jungle instead? An all-terrain vehicle will let you tear through the jungle blazing your own path. Combine that with a zip line over the forest canopy or a kayaking trip down white water rapids and your Ostional travel will be the envy of adrenaline junkies worldwide.

Stuff you may have missed: November 7, 2013
In a landmark move for the gay rights movement, the Senate has passed the Employment Non-Discrimination Act, a bill (floating around in various forms since 1994) that bans discrimination against people on basis of their sexuality or gender identity. That's the good news. The bad news is that John Boehner is sitting on his hands.
President Obama is really, really, really, really, really freaking sorry that the health care law isn't working out like he promised.
Virginia has a new governor-elect, but the scandal around the current governor is just getting good. Too bad.
Microsoft has finally figured out that you can't update a web browser every five years.

Social Control: A Dialog with Juergen Liebig and Steven Neuberg
By Juergen Liebig (left) and Steven Neuberg (right)
Thursday, October 18, 2007
Juergen Liebig: How are intragroup conflicts over direct fitness gains resolved in insect societies? Liebigs work suggests the presence of a highly reliable but cost-free signaling system that regulates conflicts among different members of these societies. Although basically similar we see some variations in signals and behaviors involved across taxa.
Steven Neuberg: How do individuals manage the fitness threats inherent to highly interdependent social life? Neuberg's work suggests that the actions commonly referred to as "stigmatization" are (1) sensitive to the specific forms of threat being posed by ingroup members and (2) characterized by qualitatively distinct, functional syndromes of emotional, cognitive, and behavioral responses. Different threats elicit different forms of stigmatization.

This is absolutely delicious and easy to make. My only changes: DRAIN the squash after cooking (and save the 2/3 (!) cup of liquid for soup stock); use a tomato/basil feta cheese for more flavor. Add a little hot sauce or crushed red pepper. Other than that, I followed directions exactly and it is creamy, savory, flavorful, and even better warmed up for lunch. Makes a good vegetarian entree.

Very starchy! Lots of rice, which dilutes the flavors of the other ingredients. I might try this again with 2 cups of rice, rather than three.

Washington • Senate Judiciary Chairman Patrick Leahy plans to move ahead with a confirmation vote for a federal judge nominee from Utah after assurances from Sen. Mike Lee that he supports the pick for a vacancy on the district court.
Leahy had warned last week that he would hold Utah lawyer Robert Shelby's nomination unless Lee backs the judicial candidate.
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
"I have been discussing with the junior senator from Utah whether he will support the nomination of Robert Shelby," Leahy said on the Senate floor. "I have yet to receive assurance that he will."
Leahy then said he would look to Lee's vote on another judicial nominee from Utah, David Nuffer, to "provide a clue" as to his support for Shelby.
Lee voted against Nuffer's confirmation despite his support for the nominee. He was continuing his lonely protest against three recess appointments by President Barack Obama earlier this year that Lee and other Republicans say ran afoul of the law because the Senate was holding quick meetings to technically stay in session.
Lee introduced Shelby at a Judiciary Committee hearing Wednesday as a "preeminently qualified" nominee, and the senator said he fully supports the Utah lawyer and expects Leahy to call for a vote soon.
Leahy's office said the committee would move to a vote on Shelby.
Lee, however, wouldn't say Wednesday how he would vote on Shelby's confirmation. Lee has voted against every executive and judicial nominee so far this year. "I make a practice of not forecasting which way I'm going to vote, so I'm not going to break from that today," Lee said after the hearing.
Shelby, an attorney with the Salt Lake City firm Snow, Christensen & Martineau who previously served in the Utah Army National Guard, said he would decide cases based on a "strict adherence to the law."
"I have a deep love of this country, which is part of what motivated me to join the military in the 1980s when it wasn't popular to do so," Shelby added. "It's the same spirit I bring to this endeavor."

In Windows Vista, the programs that you use are always opened with "normal user"
permissions, even if you are an administrator. This has some unfortunate side effects
that you normally wouldn't encounter in Windows XP when logged in as an administrator.
(For more information on this behavior, please read an
overview of UAC and What's changed
in Vista)
One major side effect is that it is very difficult to modify files that you did
not create from within Windows Vista.
Most files cannot be modified unless you created the file, or the program you are
using to modify the file is running with "administrator" permissions. This can be
a bit of a pain when upgrading from Windows XP or dual booting, as you will generally
not have full access to files created from another operating system.
The solution to this problem is to give yourself full access to your files. This
can be done very easily by following these steps:
Part 1: Open an Administrator Explorer window
This will open an "Administrator" explorer window. Every action that you take from
this window will be executed with full Administrator permissions.
Part 2: Change security settings
You will need to repeat Part 2 for every folder that you need modify access to.

I loved this stew! It was quick to prepare, and so tasty! Just the right balance of spice. I used frozen cubed butternut squash, which made preparation much easier. The only thing I might add is an additional chicken thigh--the stew seemed a little light on protein.
Moroccan Chicken and Butternut Squash Soup
eviesmom Posted: 01/06/12
RebeccaA48 Posted: 01/09/12
This was wonderful! We used fresh butternut squash and boneless skinless chicken breasts instead of thighs and substituted bulgur for the couscous since that's what we had on hand, and it was still a great soup for a cool weekday night! My guess is that it would be even better with couscous so we'll try that next time - and there will be a next time. Even my husband thought it was a filling meal with only Trader Joe's Oyster Crackers and no other side.
kayakGirl21 Posted: 01/13/12
This was an alright recipe and we finished it all but I don't think I'll make it again, just didn't really care for the flavors.
AngelaJW Posted: 01/25/12
So easy, and full of good flavors. I love trying new dishes, and this one is getting added into my rotation.
LDombeck Posted: 01/17/12
I liked this soup. I love to find new ways to use cinnamon in savory dishes. One change for next time, I will use chicken breast instead of thighs. Though the thigh meat was tender and moist, I prefer white meat. It was easy to throw together, especially when I prepped all the ingredients in the morning.
Jesspatsy Posted: 02/06/12
This was good for a weeknight dinner but not amazing. We made it with Israeli cous cous, which was good, and added a bit more salt than the recipe called for. The recipe was quick and easy. I'm on the fence about whether or not I would make it again.
SaraSpiegler Posted: 02/07/12
very easy to make, and has great flavor. would like a little more liquid in the soup, so may do 1/2 c of couscous next time.
promogal Posted: 01/19/12
Tasty soup, unique for sure. I doubled it to get four servings as we had this for dinner without any side dishes nor bread. The couscous gave it a nice consistency--it wasn't a watery soup. Will make again.
jreckamp Posted: 01/26/12
Fabulous recipe. Love the merging of flavors. Give it a try with the thighs. I usually prefer chicken breast but used the thighs, and it was delicious. My children don't usually like zucchini or couscous but loved them in this recipe. My 8 year old begs to take the leftovers in her lunch. Have made for lunch for friend on two separate occasions, and everyone raved about it. A keeper!
jhagwall78 Posted: 02/09/12
This soup was fantastic! The recipe was simple, and fantastically delicious. The healthy factor was just icing on the cake. Definitely try this recipe!
LuciaKeller Posted: 02/23/12
Overeall, pretty tasty, but it was definitely missing something. I added some hot sauce which made it much better.
nmchilecat Posted: 02/26/12
Hubby and I really liked this soup! It had a perfect balance of flavors. We like things spicy, so we used 1/4 tsp. red pepper. As we were eating it, hubby mentioned that naan would go great with it, so...next time. We will definitely make it again!
StaceyT Posted: 02/20/12
Tasty and aromatic- my house smelled great for hours! I followed the recipe exactly except for the garnishes- i didn't have basil so i dropped in a few little frozen basil puree cubes for the flavor and added spinach for the green. Yum! The only change I would make for next time (will definitely make this again!) is to cook the zucchini a bit longer (I like mine a bit more tender). I might add a cup or two more broth too, since i like a lot of liquid- would increase the spices in that case. Maybe throw in some chick peas too- why not?
meg0524 Posted: 02/11/12
Simple recipe but delicious. Great for a weeknight meal. I also used Israeli couscous and it worked well. I will definitely make this again!
pdxcook Posted: 03/31/12
very tasty. used 4 chicken thighs, bone in so cooked them a bit longer and just took the meat off the bone before serving. Didn't have tomato paste so used one of those chipotle peppers in adobo sauce and a 14 oz can of tomatoes. We felt more like a stew than soup so increased the cous cous to maybe 2/3 of a cup and tossed peas in at the end instead of zucchini. Excellent served with cornbread and just spicy enough.
adagoddess Posted: 10/29/12
If I could give it 10 stars, I would! This is the best soup I've had in a long time! Great flavors - the grated orange rind really takes it over the top. I doubled the recipe, as the package of chicken I had was almost twice what the recipe called for. I also used chopped fresh basil out of a tube that I found with the packaged herbs at the store. Next time I will freeze the chicken long enough to make it easier to chop (I hate handling raw chicken, so anything to make it quicker and easier, I'm all for). I'll also add a bit more broth. Fabulous recipe!
KitchenGnome Posted: 11/07/12
This is delicious, I've made it 3 or 4 times, the flavors are great! My only recommendation is to go easy on the orange rind...I use <1/2 the recommended amount...otherwise you get orange-flavored soup! You can always add it later if you decide you want it.
Jazzy1 Posted: 11/08/12
This soup is yummy. The flavors are wonderful. It makes a great lunch along with a tossed salad. I didn't use as much orange zest as called for in the recipe. I used about half, and it was plenty of orange aroma for me. Will definitely make again.
MrsDay2010 Posted: 02/24/13
Easy weeknight meal. My 14 month old liked it as well as mom and dad. I served his over additional cous cous to make it easier to eat.
teacooking Posted: 03/11/12
This was a really hearty soup. I used chicken thighs which I never use but will be using more often. Definitely better flavor. Also used Israeli couscous since I had it on had. Would use quinoa next time and maybe some extra spice to amp up the flavor profile. All in all, a keeper.
Emilycg Posted: 03/01/13
Tastes just like something I would have gotten in Morocco. Brought back so many memories!! Great soup!
GayleR Posted: 10/16/12Greenville, NC
An enjoyable soup, even though I omitted the garnishes. Thicker than I expected... could add extra broth as StaceyT suggested. I did cook the zucchini longer so it was tender enough. I'll probably make this again.
omahasays Posted: 11/04/13
This soup had fantastic flavor ! I agree with the other reviews, go a a little light with the orange rind. I used chicken breast and skipped the couscous because I didn't have any chicken thighs or couscous and the recipe still turned out great. I'm actually planning on making for a second time tonight
BeccahRN Posted: 11/26/13
We just made this last week (and made it as written) and it was DELICIOUS! We will definitely make it again.
suzannablu Posted: 01/03/14
We love this soup, and have made it several times. Instead of chicken, we almost always use a large can of chickpeas (or a bag of dry chickpeas if I remember to cook them ahead of time). It's a great, warming, easy-to-prepare weeknight meal.

Q&A: Why does my 3-year-old refuse to potty train?
My daughter is a bright, very verbal, quick to learn 3-year-old, but for one area: she has refused to toilet learn. Rewards,and treats don't work, and she will do everything to make sure that I don't know that she has to go. I have never used negative reinforcement or tried to make her feel bad for going in her pants, but she is resistant even to the idea. Any suggestions? Will she just decide to train on her own? Preschool is coming up in September!
Unfortunately when it comes to toilet training, it's often easier to get it wrong than right. So far, you are taking the exact right approach: plenty of praise and neither punishment nor threats. Though the majority of children are trained by three years, many don't complete the process until later. Temperament, family dynamics and developmental readiness all affect the timing of training.
My advice to you is to continue the laid-back approach, recognizing that it really is up to her to decide when she is ready. You can begin, however, to appeal to her rational side. Find out if there is a particular part of training that makes her reluctant (there may or may not be). Emphasize that at age three she is becoming a big girl and mention other kids of that age who have mastered the process. Talk over what preschool will be like, with and without diapers or pull-ups. Let her know that you will wait until she is ready, and that you'll be there to help her when she is.
You may also want to make the bathroom (or toileting area) a likable place for her–some books, a tape player or decorations of her choosing may help. If she begins not on a child-sized potty but the standard one, make sure there is a stool at a height to allow her feet to rest flatly while she is sitting. Your patience will pay off eventually!

What Is a 'B.A.P.' That Riggs Talks About Sometimes?

Fritos fits the bill of a perfect snack. Now, before you get all snack sassy, just hear us out. They're crunchy, salty, miniature, AND they're the ultimate dip-scooper. Could it get any better? No way. That's why when we heard the folks over at the Texas State Fair wanted to honor the delicious goodness, we couldn't contain our Frito-loving excitement!
Believe it or not, most fast food joints and quick service chains actually offer a lot more variety and ingenuity than their menus would suggest -- they just hide it from you for some sad, sad, reason.
We're starting to think Pizza Hut has gone off a crazy cliff recently, what with their introduction of the Cheeseburger Crown Pizza and Cone Crust Pizza. It's like Mr. Pizza Hut (he exists, right?) is trying to make some fantasy food magic happen, but it doesn't quite seem to work. So when the popular food chain unveiled its latest creation, 'Kit Kat Pops', we shouldn't have been surprised, right? Wrong. This sugary, chocolaty, strangely-looks-a-little-delicious thing came out of left field, once again.
It wasn't too long ago that Oreos started coming in this newer, easier to open, package. Nice that it gives you easy access with resealable cover, but the Oreos on the side rows are hard to get at.
Now I love me an Oreo cookie. It is, after all, the official cookie of milk. I prefer the standard, original oreo, but like to get the fun flavors sometimes, too. When I learned that our friends at Nabisco are, indeed, releasing a candy corn flavored Oreo, I didn't know what to make of it.

So, I was grabbing some food from 7-11 today. Large Pepsi and a couple of hot dogs since they were two for three dollars but these chips caught my eye. 'Hot Dog' flavored potato chips. I do like chips, but do they really taste like hot dogs?
To grab some more of that should-you-really-be-drinking-this market share, the makers of Mountain Dew have come up with a new green apple flavor. To promote this new flavor, they've been having an online contest to name it. But, it seems that someone has hijacked DubtheDew, most likely leading to extended marketing meetings at The Dew and some corporate input on name entries.

It should've been another boring trip to the market for 80-year-old Otilia Martins, who was doing her shopping at her son-in-law's New Bedford, MA store Friday afternoon.

Soda die-hards know if you want a kick of caffeine, Mountain Dew is the beverage of choice. And in some cities in the US, people will soon get to try out a malt-flavored version of the popular soft drink.

What Should I Do With These Tiny Asian Plums?
Good Questions
Q: A friend just gave me three gallons of tiny Asian plums. Any suggestions on what I can do with all these little plums?
I live in Alaska and so rarely have access to such fresh, Alaska-grown fruit, so I really appreciate your helping me to take full advantage of the opportunity.
Sent by Suzanne
Editor: Suzanne, those are really beautiful little plums! What about a batch of jam to preserve some of them for the winter? I like this simple jam. Also try this recipe — it may be my favorite dessert of all time. High praise, I know, but really. Try it: Plum crumble. Also try Sara Kate's End of Summer Prune Plum Pie.
Readers, have you ever tried tiny plums like these? What would you do with them?

Plum Schnapps!!
Plum jam! A great way to use up a lot of quantity.
umeshu!!!! chuck them in a container, cover with strong alcohol (at least vodka, preferrably everclear), add a lot of sugar, and let them steep. after a couple of months, it will be delicious to drink, and the plums will be super tasty too! use them to garnish drinks, or just as a special appetizer.
or send a bucket to me;)
I second the vote for umeshu.
cooking with dog can show you how:
I would can them whole in syrup.
Maybe this is too obvious, but what about Asian Plum Sauce for spring rolls, etc...
I made lazy daisy cake (Marion Cunningham's version is the best) with sliced plums in it a couple of weeks ago. I just added a 1/4 teaspoon of almond extract to the batter and it was DIVINE. Plum clafoutis is also excellent.
Also - what about drying the plums? Then you could eat them like dried apricots year-round.
If tart you can make them into salsa using plums in lieu of tomatoes. ;-)
Plum vinegar.
I'm voting for umeshu. Easy and the smell and flavor are incredible. Well worth the wait!
Yep, umeshu!!
You don't have to use anything as strong as vodka or everclear, and that is not what's in the typical Japanese recipe anyway.
Here's a great recipe, cached on Google, and complete with lots of pictures :)
For now, serve some fresh.
Plum tart (Sweet tart crust + custard filling + fresh plums in sugar syrup on top)
Use them like cherries - plum jubilee.

Bayern's 2-0 win at Mainz 05 on Saturday left them a massive 23 points clear in the league and they will be uncatchable if they win at Hertha.
"I'm just pleased about winning against one of the toughest teams we'll face this season," said Guardiola in Mainz.
"We only need one more win now. It's in our own hands. We can be champions in the capital.
"We've extended our record to 18 wins on the trot. That's the result of a lot of hard work."
Having won 14 of a possible 19 titles during four years as Barcelona coach, Guardiola is set to claim his third title in nine months at Bayern having already won the UEFA Super Cup and Club World Cup.
Having won the treble of Champions League, Bundesliga and German Cup under Guardiola's predecessor Jupp Heynckes last season, Bayern have continued their stranglehold on the German league title.
Guardiola's side are just eight matches away from becoming the first team to ever go through an entire season in Germany's top flight unbeaten.
Bayern left it late at Mainz with midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger striking with a header on 82 minutes.
His Germany team-mate Mario Goetze then netted the European champions' second four minutes later.
Bayern fired in 23 shots on goal to Mainz's four as they extended their record unbeaten run to 51 Bundesliga matches and earn their 18th consecutive league win.
Having drawn Manchester United in the quarter-finals, Bayern have made no secret of their desire to be the first team to defend the Champions League title.
"We're not really concerned about when we win the title, we want to maintain our rhythm," said Bayern goal-scorer Schweinsteiger.
"You always have to work hard for victory here in Mainz.
"They're very aggressive and they press high up the field.
"The first half wasn't easy, but they were tired towards the end."
Bayern's Germany defender Jerome Boateng said he is relishing the clash against Hertha at Berlin's Olympic City having been born in the capital.
"It's wonderful that we could win the league in Berlin, which is where it all started for me," said the 25-year-old, the half brother of Ghana midfielder Kevin-Prince Boateng.
"We've prepared the way for it today and taken a step closer."
