Not the Time to Panic on the Island
ChrisTriants | Feb 05, 2013 | Comments 0
There are a lot of people going nuts on the Internet since the Islanders lost to the Devils on Super Bowl Sunday. If you missed it, the Islanders fell 3-0 to the reigning Eastern Conference Champions, in a game that remained scoreless through the first fifty-six minutes of play. Of course, the Islanders allowed a power-play goal towards the end, and that was the end of it.
Anyways, panic ensued. Islanders' fans are, seemingly, on the edge, shouting for help, calling for Garth's head, and once again deeming the Islanders an AHL-level team. Yes, at 4-3-1 in the 7th-seed of the East, the Islanders season is over. It's done. There's no way this team could make the playoffs, and the Islanders should trade all of their prospects and Kyle Okposo for veteran help such as Jarome Iginla and Evgeni Malkin, because, you know…their contracts are expiring.
That's sarcasm. The Islanders are fine. It's just fun (and impressive) to see the same fans go from "I've never been more disappointed about an Islanders roster" before the season started, to "THESE GUYS ARE GREAT, GO AUCOIN!", back to "If we lose tomorrow, it's same old Islanders and we'll never make the playoffs under the Snow/Wang regime". Relax.
We are eight games into a forty-eight game season. Every game matters and has double the importance. I'm not going to understate the importance of these games. Two of a possible four points will be great, and three or four of a possible four points is even better. especially against your divisional foes.. May I make a request, though? Before we start looking ahead and saying "the Islanders need x amount of points in the next x amount of games", can we just let the team play? You know, one game at a time, like they're supposed to play them.
A lot of us pegged the Islanders to come back from their road trip at the bottom of the standings. I heard a lot of "four points in those five games would be a success", but you know what? It would not have been. Do you think we would have been thrilled with six total points right now? They came back with seven on that trip, outplaying everybody's predictions, yet they're still hearing it after one loss. News flash: we weren't going 47-1 after the first loss, and the Islanders will continue to win and lose games as this season progresses. We need to take it one game at a time. It's fair to the players.
Keith Aucoin cannot go from Garth's success story to the worst player on the Island from one game to the next. Nabokov cannot go from the Islanders best option in net, to the Islanders scape-goat after every goal he allows. Dammit, Rick DiPietro cannot be the team's biggest problem when he doesn't even play! The Islanders are doing what they need to do, and they're playing hockey the right way. They're making the right decisions, they're icing the right line-ups, and they're working with what they have.
Now, I understand that we're anxious. We're nervous because each of the past two years, the Islanders started "hot", and then the wheels came off almost immediately. But, you want to talk about the Islanders losing culture, and how it needs to be changed? WAKE UP, guys! Start changing the way you choose to talk about your own team! We have a very passionate fan-base, but some of the responses I get leave me shaking my head. Why can't we beat two teams in a row that are better than us on paper? Why do we constantly need veteran help? Don't you realize John Tavares is our superstar, so we shouldn't expect Steven Stamkos in the line-up tomorrow? Who's available right now that the Islanders MUST go out and get? Are you suggesting we get Trevor Gillies back because the Islanders miss him?
The thing is, the Islanders haven't just been getting by. They're playing with their competition. They lost on Sunday because New Jersey stole a win, not because we gave it to them. We outplayed Tampa Bay, who has the most goals in the entire NHL by far, we kept up with the Bruins, and in all three games, we've matched up well against New Jersey. This team even beat the Penguins, who EVERYBODY was saying we would be embarrassed to.
Through one-sixth of the season, the Islanders are in the playoffs. They have two big games coming up (Pittsburgh tonight, Rangers on Thursday). Yes, we would love them to get two points. It's also very possible that they get two, or maybe even four points. I mean, they did get seven out of a possible ten points on the road. BUT, to those who are saying, "two points in the next two games or season's over": go to bed. A'int nobody got time for that.

The Most Popular Printer Units on the Market
Printers have developed at an astonishing rate over the last few years. Print quality that was once the reserve of high end and expensive corporate machines is now commonplace and available to home users. Colour printing, which was once an exception is now the standard. Features that were unthinkable just a few years ago are also now commonplace. Many home printers are now multi-function and can copy and fax as well as print. Scanning is also a popular feature and can encompass both image scanning and optical character recognition (OCR). OCR allows users to convert the text on physical documents into electronic format.
A printer for everyone
Judging which printers are most popular is largely dependent upon which market they are designed to serve. The Dell 5350dn for example is a rugged and fast corporate workhorse with 48 pages per minute (ppm) throughput and integrated duplex unit. It only prints in mono however and the £863 price tag would be beyond most home or home office users. The HP LaserJet Pro 400 MFP is more reasonable at £516 and it offers wireless printing and both colour and mono printing at 20 ppm. But it is much more suited to small workgroups. The home market meanwhile is well served with multi-function printers from a number of established brands at prices substantially less than £100. Different manufacturers focus on different parts of the market and Kyocera printer products for example tend to be aimed at small workgroups and above.
What makes for a popular printer?
With so many different printer manufacturers aiming at so many different markets, it can be hard to decide which are the most popular printers on the market. An interesting approach though comes from a survey of opinions using social media sites such as Twitter and Facebook. Some companies measure the number of times products are mentioned on such sites and whether opinions are positive or negative. On one such recent survey, Kyocera printer products came in at a very respectable 5th place, ahead of well-known competitors such as Lexmark and Epson. Canon landed the number one spot.

Top 5 Nutrition Mistakes Made By Smart Triathletes
- By Lauren Antonucci
- Published Sep 11, 2013
- Updated Sep 2, 2014 at 4:30 PM UTC
Mistake #3: Skipping post-workout fuel/meal.
As athletes who often do daily double workouts, recovery is paramount not only to performance, but also to optimizing immunity and minimizing injury. Make it a priority to consume 2.2–2.6 grams of carbohydrate/pound body weight in the hour post-workout—even after late-evening workouts! Include some protein (and a pinch of salt) as well to help muscles repair and rebuild stronger. Wash it all down with some much-needed fluids.

"In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends."
Khalil Gibran
"Nor shall derision prove powerful against those who listen to humanity or those who follow in the footsteps of divinity, for they shall live forever. Forever."
"Keep me away from the wisdom which does not cry, the philosophy which does not laugh and the greatness which does not bow before children."
"But let there be spaces in your togetherness and let the winds of the heavens dance between you. Love one another but make not a bond of love: let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls."
"We wanderers, ever seeking the lonelier way, begin no day where we have ended another, and no sunrise finds us where left by sunset. Even while the earth sleeps we travel. We are the seeds of that tenacious plant, and it is in our ripeness and our fullness of heart that we are given to the wind to be scattered."
"And think not you can direct the course of love, for love, if it finds you worthy, directs your course."
"For reason, ruling alone, is a force confining; and passion, unattended, is a flame that burns to its own destruction."
"You talk when you cease to be at peace with your thoughts; And when you can no longer dwell in the solitude of your heart you live in your lips, and sound is a diversion and a pastime. And in much of your talking, thinking is half murdered."
"When you work you fulfill a part of earth's furthest dream, assigned to you when that dream was born,
And what is it to work with love?
It is to weave the cloth with threads drawn from your heart, even as if your beloved were to wear that cloth.
It is to build a house with affection, even as if your beloved were to dwell in that house.
It is to sow seeds with tenderness and reap the harvest with joy, even as if your beloved were to eat the fruit.
It is to charge all things you fashion with a breath of your own spirit.
Work is love made visible."
"Of the good in you I can speak, but not of the evil.
For what is evil but good tortured by its own hunger and thirst?
Verily when good is hungry it seeks food even in dark caves, and when it thirsts, it drinks even of dead waters.
You are good when you are one with yourself. Yet when you are not one with yourself you are not evil.
For a divided house is not a den of thieves; it is only a divided house.
And a ship without rudder may wander aimlessly among perilous isles yet sink not to the bottom.
You are good when you strive to give of yourself.
Yet you are not evil when you seek gain for yourself.
For when you strive for gain you are but a root that clings to the earth and sucks at her breast.
Surely the fruit cannot say to the root, "Be like me, ripe and full and ever giving of your abundance."
For to the fruit giving is a need, as receiving is a need to the root."
"When you are joyous, look deep into your heart and you shall find it is only that which has given you sorrow that is giving you joy.
When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight.
Some of you say, "Joy is greater than sorrow," and others say, "Nay, sorrow is the greater."
But I say unto you, they are inseparable.
Together they come, and when one sits alone with you at your board, remember that the other is asleep upon your bed.
Verily you are suspended like scales between your sorrow and your joy.
Only when you are empty are you at standstill and balanced."
"Is not religion all deeds and all reflection,
And that which is neither deed nor reflection, but a wonder and a surprise ever springing in the soul, even while the hands hew the stone or tend the loom?
Who can separate his faith from his actions, or his belief from his occupations?
Who can spread his hours before him, saying, "This for God and this for myself;
This for my soul, and this other for my body?"
All your hours are wings that beat through space from self to self.
He who wears his morality but as his best garment were better naked.
The wind and the sun will tear no holes in his skin.
And he who defines his conduct by ethics imprisons his song-bird in a cage.
The freest song comes not through bars and wires.
And he to whom worshipping is a window, to open but also to shut, has not yet visited the house of his soul whose windows are from dawn to dawn.
Your daily life is your temple and your religion.
Whenever you enter into it take with you your all."
"For life and death are one, even as the river and the sea are one.
In the depth of your hopes and desires lies your silent knowledge of the beyond;
And like seeds dreaming beneath the snow your heart dreams of spring.
Trust the dreams, for in them is hidden the gate to eternity."
"Patient, over-patient, is the captain of my ship.
The wind blows, and restless are the sails;
Even the rudder begs direction; Yet quietly my captain awaits my silence.
And these my mariners, who have heard the choir of the greater sea, they too have heard me patiently.
Now they shall wait no longer.
I am ready.
The stream has reached the sea, and once more the great mother holds her son against her breast.
Fare you well, people of Orphalese.
This day has ended.
It is closing upon us even as the water-lily upon its own tomorrow.
What was given us here we shall keep,
And if it suffices not, then again must we come together and together stretch our hands unto the giver.
Forget not that I shall come back to you.
A little while, and my longing shall gather dust and foam for another body.
A little while, a moment of rest upon the wind, and another woman shall bear me.
Farewell to you and the youth I have spent with you.
It was but yesterday we met in a dream.
You have sung to me in my aloneness, and I of your longings have built a tower in the sky.
But now our sleep has fled and our dream is over, and it is no longer dawn.
The noontide is upon us and our half waking has turned to fuller day, and we must part.
If in the twilight of memory we should meet once more, we shall speak again together and you shall sing to me a deeper song.
And if our hands should meet in another dream, we shall build another tower in the sky.
So saying he made a signal to the seamen, and straightaway they weighed anchor and cast the ship loose from its moorings, and they moved eastward.
And a cry came from the people as from a single heart, and it rose the dusk and was carried out over the sea like a great trumpeting.
Only Almitra was silent, gazing after the ship until it had vanished into the mist.
And when all the people were dispersed she still stood alone upon the sea-wall, remembering in her heart his saying,
A little while, a moment of rest upon the wind, and another woman shall bear me."

FOND DU LAC, WI (WTAQ) - A Fond du Lac County man has been ordered to stand trial for allegedly killing two people in a drunk driving crash.
24-year-old Daniel Shea of Campbellsport waived his right to a preliminary hearing Thursday. He pleaded not guilty to two counts of drunken homicide, and one count of causing injury by drunk driving.
Prosecutors said Shea had 7 drinks and two shots of whiskey at 5 taverns, in the hours before his car crossed a center and hit an oncoming auto.
73-year-old Paul Grahl and his 59-year-old wife Joanna, both of Eden, were killed in that second car. Their 13-year-old daughter Esther was seriously injured, and she's back home after being treated at a Milwaukee hospital.
The crash occurred September 13th on Highway 45 near the Fond du Lac-Washington County line. Prosecutors said Shea's blood alcohol level was 0.20, two-and-a-half times the legal limit of 0.08.
He wore a cast on his right arm when he appeared in court Thursday.

The European Union is underpinned by the so-called "four freedoms": the free movement of goods, services, capital and people. There's little controversy over the first three. But the free movement of people has become a hot political issue in many countries, often whipped up by nationalist parties. Some people who want to keep immigrants out are racists. There are also two supposed arguments for keeping foreigners out: that they take both "our jobs" and "our benefits".
Immigration is a particularly live issue in the UK. In the European Commission's latest Eurobarometer survey, 32 percent of the British people questioned thought it was one of the two most important issues facing the country. The average for the EU as a whole was 10 percent.
In a poll for The Independent last month, two-thirds of those questioned thought British firms should give UK citizens priority over other candidates from elsewhere in Europe when hiring new workers – even if this meant Britain had to leave the EU. Just 16 percent disagreed. The UK Independence Party, which wants Britain to quit the EU, has heightened anxiety by arguing that there will be a wave of immigrants from Romania and Bulgaria after the last restrictions on their citizens' movements are lifted at the end of this year.
The free movement of people is one of the EU's biggest pluses. And the number of EU citizens who engage in so-called "welfare tourism" – travelling to other countries to live off benefits – is exaggerated. However, it has become such a hot potato that it would be wise to tighten up the EU's rules on immigrants' access benefits. This is especially so in the UK, where David Cameron suggested last week in an interview with The Times that doing so could help sway a planned referendum on whether to stay in the EU.
First, though, look at the facts. Eight Eastern European countries, led by Poland, the so-called "A8" countries, joined the EU in 2004. A wave of migrants left for richer countries, especially the UK which didn't impose any temporary restrictions. This was beneficial for the economy because most of the immigrants were skilled and hard-working. Most weren't so young that the state needed to pay for their education or so old that it had to pay much for their healthcare.

Rosewater in Lebanon is homemade in the villages with a certain type of rose, called ward joury (Rosa Damascena); the sweetest and most delicate rose ever! The traditional procedure is to use a distiller (karaké). I just wanted to see if i could make some rosewater without having to buy or borrow a distiller. I tried it three times, first using a techniqur I read online which called for placing a brick in a pot. Finally, I simplified it even further and yesterday made rosewater with only a pot and a small pyrex bowl lodged inside. INGREDIENTS: 4 cups (loose, about 4 ounces) of rose petals (Rosa Damascena) 2 cups distilled water (or regular water) 1. In a pot with a rounded lid, place the rose petals and the bowl in the middle; gently pour water over the petals, making sure no water gets inside the bowl. Tightly close the pot (you can use a kitchen towel, then place the lid over the towel for an even tighter seal. 2. Bring to a simmer; as soon as the mixture simmers, invert the lid and place ice cubes on the lid (see photo above). Check after 15 minutes. The bowl inside the pot should be at least half-filled with a clear liquid, rosewater. Turn off the heat, cool the rosewater and pour into a container and close. Keep in the fridge. NOTE: I used a drop of rose coloring; the liquid should be clear though. Only the water simmering with the petals takes on a pinkish color. Above is the type of rose needed, Rosa Damascena or ward joury. It is a variety with lots of thorns, but extremely fragrant.

Georgia climbed to No. 5 in the Associated Press college football poll released Sunday, up two spots from last week.
Georgia (3-0) is one of three SEC teams in the nation's top five, according to the AP's media vote, and the two SEC West teams that met for last season's BCS title once again are 1-2 in the poll.
Alabama is No. 1 for the third consecutive week, receiving 58 of 60 first-place votes. LSU moved up one spot to No. 2 after previously No. 2 USC tumbled out of the top 10 in the aftermath of a 21-14 loss at Stanford. LSU got the two first-place votes that didn't go to Alabama.
Oregon is No. 3 and Florida State No. 4. Georgia, No. 7 last week, moved ahead of Oklahoma, as well as USC, in the AP poll. Oklahoma is No. 6 after being tied with FSU at No. 5 last week.
In the USA Today coaches' poll also released Sunday, the top four teams are the same as in the AP poll, but Georgia and Oklahoma are flip-flopped. In the coaches' poll, Oklahoma is No. 5 and Georgia No. 6.
South Carolina gave the SEC a fourth team in the top 10 of both polls — No. 7 in AP and No. 8 in the coaches'.

Are you kidding?
September 16th, 2012
1:38 pm
There are maybe 8 teams that are top 5 teams and I don't think UGa is one of them.
There are a lot of top 20 teams. It looks like there are 20 teams that could be #11 thru #20 and UGa is somewhere in that group..
September 16th, 2012
1:44 pm
The D doesn't look like a Top 5 D. In fact, it looks a little scary.
September 16th, 2012
1:44 pm
@ i dropped my twinkie:
you are not inteligent
September 16th, 2012
1:46 pm
Notre Dame
So Cal
Those are probably top 5 teams…..LSU an BAMA have to meet soon
The rest of those are more like #11-20 so there are 17 teams that should be ranked #15 LOL
September 16th, 2012
1:46 pm
twinkie…. is you're life really so miserable that you have to try to boost it pointing out why others aren't any good? pathetic indeed!
September 16th, 2012
1:51 pm
I've watched USC struggle with Syracuse, the team that struggled with Stonybrook, and watched them get bulldozed by Stanford…they do not belong in the top 20.
September 16th, 2012
1:53 pm
Wait to assess the defense after a game when they aren't missing three, four, or five starters. Hopefully that will be the UT game.
September 16th, 2012
1:53 pm
manatee…..I'm not buying that Florida St.,South Carolina, West Virginia & Clemson are Top 10 teams
September 16th, 2012
1:55 pm
@twinkie: Oregon, ND, Oklahoma, So Cal…
Was your morning medicated root too strong, or did you take a double dose by "mistake" You must be reading and not watching games..:)
September 16th, 2012
1:57 pm
I do think So Cal is really good and just played a bad game. Bama or LSU have to lose when they face each other.
September 16th, 2012
1:58 pm
The Dawg Defense had five starters out or did a couple return for this game?
Either way the team got the job done. The game was blacked out in S. Fla. unless you paid to view.
When The D is at 100% with the O playing the way they did we could run the table to play Bama in The SECC Game. Of course I don't think we'd beat Bama but it'd be nice if it played out that way.
3 – 0 Dawgs. Nice win. Now we begin an SEC run to be first in The East.
September 16th, 2012
1:59 pm
Georgia OVERRATED early in the season as usual. UGA is no Top 5 team. FAU blew up our D in the first half. First big game we get blown out. That first big game may not come until the SEC Championship game because of our schedule. But Bama or LSU beat our arse.
September 16th, 2012
1:59 pm
Oh twinkie as you might see no one cares who your top 5 or 10 are. The last time I looked your pole wasn't in the mix for the NC. GO DOGS & GATA
September 16th, 2012
1:59 pm
Lane Kiffin stunk up the place and I loved watching it!
USC Fans got what they wanted in Kiffin – now wallow in his mud.
September 16th, 2012
1:59 pm
@West I have watched most of the top 20 play a game but most of those team have not played any difficult games yet.
September 16th, 2012
2:00 pm
@ I dropped my fried twinkie:
Not to feed the troll or anything, but by definition there are actually 5 top 5 teams and there are 8 top 8 teams. And so cal with their total lack of depth certainly does not make either.
September 16th, 2012
2:02 pm
UF & UT played a fine SEC Game.
The Dawgs' schedule just got tougher in my opinion.
September 16th, 2012
2:02 pm
twinkie — No, the AP sports writers from all over the country are, in fact, not kidding. You see, their analysis of who the country's best teams are is not distorted by an unhealthy, jealousy-based inferiority complex like the one you harbor and exhibit on these blogs 24/7/365.
By the way, solid win for the Jackets yesterday. How'd you fare in the rankings?
September 16th, 2012
2:03 pm
Southern Cal got manhandled on the line of scrimmage last night. They have great skill position players but championships are won in the trenches. Overrated!
September 16th, 2012
2:03 pm
Uga Grad 94… "FAU blew up our D" that was not the real D with Jones, Rambo, and Ogletree out
September 16th, 2012
2:06 pm
Don't worry about it, kids. That's why they actually play the games. If hot air from know-it-alls determined the outcome, then we wouldn't need to play. The final poll is the only one that matters. Teams change throughout the year due to maturity, injuries, etc. The chest beating and boasting is meaningless…Go Dawgs.
September 16th, 2012
2:08 pm
Twinkle toes…So Cal?? Really? Please tell me you are not this stupid?? Get off UGA related storys and find something productive to whine about son! Gooo Dawgs!
September 16th, 2012
2:09 pm
The Dawgs have as much talent as anyone in the country. The defense is totally different with Jones on the field as he may be the best defensive player in the country. That said, UGA will have to prove that their o-line can handle a stout front 7. SC and UF should provide that test. If UGA can beat both of them, then they will have a legit shot at making some noise on a national level. If not, them it'll be another 10-3 type year.
September 16th, 2012
2:10 pm
@ Twinkie
Notre dame? they would be in your top 5? and they play who?
USC never plays anyone. stanford either for that matter…its bad when you consider stanford your competition and then cant beat them.
UGA may be over rated but they are getting better and better.
Their offense has got to be one of the best in the country.
Their D will be there soon.
If UGA beats south carolina then they will run the table to the SEC championship. A team that believes they can win by that time could actually win!
September 16th, 2012
2:10 pm
I think FSU is the dark horse in this conversation. Twinkie, you make some valid points. However, ND will drop at least two this season. I really think it is the winner of UA/LSU vs. ????? Right now we (Alabama) look a little sloppy and haven't put together a complete game. It was good though to see many 4th/5th string guys playing……just like the Bryant days.
Ga's D is for real, though. The question is can the O line hold up in the trenches down the stretch and can Murray (really like that kid) make the plays when he needs to?
Plus Fl really looked good in the 4th last night.
I still think the East comes down to winner of SC/GA
September 16th, 2012
2:11 pm
We get Ogletree,Rambo,and Jones back next week! We are the real deal and we will be undefeated by the time we play Bama or LSU Dec 1 in the Dome! We win 31-24 and go on to win the National Title against Oregon 31-14. Murray for Heisman and Jones wins Defensive player of the year!
September 16th, 2012
2:11 pm
I dropped my fried twinkie

Those are probably top 5 teams…..LSU an BAMA have to meet soon
The rest of those are more like #11-20 so there are 17 teams that should be ranked #15 LOL
You dropped your brain. That is what's been dropped.
September 16th, 2012
2:11 pm
Guys, ignore twinkie, he's a tech person that hates UGa and is always on the UGA blogs spewing his garbage. It's called UGA envy! He will be on here knocking UGA no matter what, start talking about how tech will beat UGa. Uga then whips tech and we won't here from him for a good two months before hie starts peeping his head out again. Just as before.
September 16th, 2012
2:12 pm
They should be ranked 15 – 18. They ended last season with a woeful performance by a bad Michigan State team. And they haven't prove anything yet this year. What will get them is what always gets them. They will go up against an equal (or close) team and underperform and go back to the ranking they deserve … 15 — 18.
September 16th, 2012
2:16 pm
UGA's offense looks as good as anyone's in the country. The defense was missing JJ, Ogletree and Rambo on Saturday. You noticed after they got the second TD they did not get anything else until Lemay threw that pick 6 so they were shut out in the second half. UGA should be #4 they are better than FSU. LSU gave up 14 points to Idaho (who is 0-3) and gave up over 200 yards to them but LSU is still #2 even though they've played no one.
September 16th, 2012
2:16 pm
you cant rank a team according to what they did the last game of the season. If that was the case then ohio state, oregon, usc, etc would never be ranked cause they always lose to the SEC in the championship…
September 16th, 2012
2:17 pm
I watched the game. Dawgs D started slow because we benched Jarvis Jones and let some young guns get some experience before we take on a long trip thru a gradually harder SEC schedule. They got burned a couple times, something Rambo will not let happen when he returns. Let's hope Jarvis' groin gets better soon and doesn't become an issue later this season.
QB and receivers looked great. Gurley, Marshall and Malcome looked great! Having that threat balance is going to be the key to nailing down wins week after week. I'd like to see us establish the run earlier against a tougher opponent before giving 'em more credit.
To achieve the dual threat on Offense, we need a solid O line which can open holes and provide Murray with protection against the SEC's fast D's before we even talk about the end of the season. I was just glad to see we didn't get 6 false starts like we did last week.
Good job to a great crew – coaches and players alike have to be happy with their performance. Now start watching tape as get ready to take on a red hot Vandy, who looked great in their shutout and is building a solid program. One week at a time guys… Guess that's just our Old Man Football
September 16th, 2012
2:18 pm
I guess we can now start talking about LSU and Bama's weak schedule this season because the SEC West is the weak division this year.
September 16th, 2012
2:23 pm
The East is definitely tougher top to bottom. The West may have the top 2 teams in the land, but after that it looks pretty weak this year. Arky and the Barn look awful, so far.
September 16th, 2012
2:23 pm
I can't believe I'm going to say this, but I agree with twinkie… sort of. No question Alabama and LSU are the best teams (again). I love UGA, but we just aren't in their class. We COULD be, but we have a long way to go AND we have to show it on the field. I think Oklahoma and Oregon or next. How do you have Notre Dame as a top 5ish team? But I must say, I think UGA COULD be top 5, but really we're at least a top 20 team. Hope I'm wrong and we can really turn it on here starting wtih Vandy next week.
September 16th, 2012
2:24 pm
LSU has to play someone before I believe they're #2.
September 16th, 2012
2:24 pm
If you guys want a few laughs, then go to VolNation. They won the game against UF by last Wednesday and were talking about how they were going to storm the field after the game. Now? It's all doom and gloom. What a joke UT has become!
September 16th, 2012
2:25 pm
September 16th, 2012
2:16 pm
UGA's offense looks as good as anyone's in the country.
against WHO exactly?
Not many teams have played Difficult teams yet but Padding My Stats against the Sisters of the Poor MURRAY hasn't faced a good D yet.
Florida showed some Speed in the UT game
FSU has Speed too but I don't think they have a Great O. Can't really judge based on the competition so far.
Oregon is playing Football like a fastbreak basketball team but again not sure you can tell much based on the competition so far.
Notre Dame has a good D for sure and the O is getting their legs against easy competition too
September 16th, 2012
2:26 pm
Counting the Barn LSU starts the season with 5 cupcake games. They have to prove something first otherwise they are just given the #2 spot on last years performance.
September 16th, 2012
2:27 pm
It's funny how Tech fans become fans of everyone else but their own team which is always unimpressive.
September 16th, 2012
2:28 pm
Tech fans, your blind hatred of UGA has destroyed your brain from making any ind of logical argument.
September 16th, 2012
2:32 pm
I gotta say the Beast has a point. Gotta take it week by week. Anything can happen, ask USC. Talking about 'best' this and that, post season talk…it's all bs.
We've got a long, awesome season ahead of us where anything can happen. We've got a lot of W's to post before we can even think about being Top 5.
What's all the fuss about Top 5 anyway? Only #1 at the end counts… To paraphrase the eternal words of Ricky Bobby – everybody else is just the first losers.
September 16th, 2012
2:36 pm
The best team in the SEC will be decided the first week in December. All other talk about who the best 2 teams are now doesn't matter much.
September 16th, 2012

I am the whiz and nobody beats me! I am the whiz! I am the whiz! I am the whiz!

kerryb and how did that work exactly last year? Oh it didn't. I think it was decided in the Atlanta Dome but PROVEN who was really the Best SEC in the BCS CG and those were 2 different teams.
So last year IF UGa beat LSU would the dwags be the Best SEC team? Would that have kept Bama the BEST TEAM in the country out of the BCS CG?
September 16th, 2012
2:50 pm
Until UGA plays a real team, their ranking is meaningless.
September 16th, 2012
2:52 pm
man the Philly v Baltimore game is a street fight. They need to be in a Ring with Gloves.
September 16th, 2012

watching Ala play & then Ga play is like watching high school & midgets guess which one is which
September 16th, 2012
3:06 pm
Its funny to me how Tech fans view rankings as meaningless when there're ranked below Georgia(or unranked) but when you beat fifth ranked Clemson last season rankings mattered.And trust me if Georgia is still at number 5 the last week in November and Tech wins in Athens(which I doubt)Georgia's ranking will matter to them..Envy is the ulcer of the soul…

I really couldn't be bothered with these books, simply because blizzard doesn't seem to value consistency when it comes to a story. First the dranei were simple farmers who were completely wiped out, then it turns out there mutated freaks, then all of a sudden there aliens who crash land on there space ship. What`s the point in reading this if the following books/games contradict it

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Police in Indianapolis say some tweaking seems to have improved things a day after overwhelming "human gridlock" in the Super Bowl Village injured 11 people.
An estimated 50,000 people flooded downtown streets for a free outdoor concert by the band LMFAO Friday night. Two other people were injured Friday separate from the concert-going group. Indianapolis Public Safety Director Frank Straub said none of the injuries were serious, most involving shortness of breath or scraped knees.
Officials are still tweaking their downtown plan as they prepare for more concerts and activities before kickoff, and they seemed to be pleased with the early results.
There was bumper-to-bumper traffic on some streets heading into downtown Saturday, but as of 10 p.m., police had not reported any injuries or arrests.
Police made a total of 22 arrests Friday night, mostly for public intoxication.

Fed's Plosser on default risk, inflation, and more
The following are highlights from a Reuters interview with Philadelphia Federal Reserve Bank President Charles Plosser on Wednesday.
"Clearly if something were to happen and financial markets were to seize up, and there were liquidity problems or financial market disruptions, I think the Fed would feel like it had the responsibility to go in and keep markets functioning, as a lender of last resort."

Sack: Fed portfolio carries $1 trln extra rate risk
NEW YORK, July 20 (Reuters) – The Federal Reserve may have
to buy more Treasuries after it eventually shrinks its $2.6
trillion balance sheet, in what would be a technical move to
reduce interest rate risk, a senior Fed official said on
Brian Sack, head of the New York Fed's Markets group, told
the Money Marketeers of NYU that the Federal Reserve's balance
sheet carries interest rate risk equivalent to $1.5 trillion in
10-year Treasury notes. That is $1 trillion higher than normal
for the Fed portfolio, Sack added.

Left-Handed Celebrities
Have you ever wondered how many famous lefties are there in Tinseltown? I have because I'm left-handed myself. Here are a list of some of the rich and famous lefties.
Gals: Oprah Winfrey, Jessica Alba, Angelina Jolie, Scarlett Johansson, Nicole Kidman, Kate Hudson, Rebecca Romijn, Whoopi Goldberg, Sarah Jessica Parker, Julia Roberts and Amy Smart.
Guys: Tom Cruise, Matt Dillon, Robert DeNiro, Mickey Rourke, Jerry Seinfeld, Will Ferrell, Matthew Broderick, Robert Redford, Christian Slater, Bruce Willis and Alan Thicke.
Rebecca Romijn and Jerry O'Connell have had their twins. The twin girls were born sometime recently, even though an exact date has not been released. Of all people, Howard Stern, a friend of the couple, was the one to announce the news on his radio show this morning….
More pictures after the delivery….
Since Howard only broke the news today, it means the birth of the girls was probably over the weekend. He didn't give any names or details, but those will probably emerge later in the day. We'll get them up as soon as we know them.
Rebecca Romijn Has Cravings
Rebecca Romijn – who is pregnant with twin girls – is having some seriously crazy cravings! I love it when stars admit to wanting certain and specific foods and actually eat them! It shows they are human and not having a super perfect pregnancy!
More pictures after the skip…
Rebecca's husband Jerry O'Connell says the craving of the moment is soy cream cheese. Not just regular cream cheese, but SOY. I didn't even know they made it?!? And how cute is it that he is the one to go out and fetch it for her. It must be true love!
Rebecca Romijn is Pregnant
The gorgeous model and actress Rebecca Romijn is pregnant! Last summer, she married actor jerry O'Connell and obviously she has been busy…
More pictures after the pause…
Via US Magazine, the couple confirm the fact they are pregnant with not one, but two babies! What is it with Hollywood and twins this year…Jennifer Lopez, Angelina Jolie…and don't forget, Marcia Gay Harding, Patrick Dempsey's wife, Marcia Cross…all within a couple of years. What do they put in that LA water?
Rebecca Romijn The Bebe Hottie
Rebecca Romijn is the face of Bebe ad campaigns. Supermodel & actress Romijn has replaced Mischa Barton last year as the Bebe girl. Romijn, 35, the Ugly Betty star is just gorgeous. Last week, Romijn & Bebe celebrated Hollywood Glam at the Bebe store in Beverly Hills. Tell me, who do you prefer? Mischa Barton doing Bebe or Rebecca Romijn?
Rebecca Romijn models for La Perla Lingerie. The 35-year old is hot, hot, hot! Romijn has modeled for the swimsuit issue of Sports Illustrated & for Victoria's Secret. Rebecca is a fixture on the annual lists of world's most beautiful women by publications such as Maxim magazine, AskMen.com & FHM.
more Romijn after the jump…
As for acting, Romijn plays Alexis Meade, a male-to-female transsexual and the sibling of lead character Daniel Meade on ABC's TV series Ugly Betty. Whether you have heard of Romijn or not, she's sexy as hell that's undisputable.

LANSING, MI (WLNS) - Michigan's highest court will decide whether prisoners serving life sentences for violent crimes they committed as minors deserve a chance for eventual release.
It's a case particularly important to Michigan because the state is home to the highest number of juvenile lifers.
The court will hear oral arguments of three cases, all involving three men who as teens committed homicides and are now serving life sentences for first degree murder, Wednesday morning.
Dakotah Eliason, Raymond Carp and Cortez Cavis will challenge their life without parole sentences based on the U.S. Supreme Court case Miller vs. Alabama.
The Miller vs. Alabama case states that mandatory life without parole for juveniles convicted of murder violates the eighth amendment of prohibition of cruel and unusual punishment.
While the Michigan Supreme Court hears those arguments, Governor Snyder officially has signed into law a bill that aligns sentencing rules for juveniles with the U.S. Supreme Court.
That court ruled against mandatory life sentences for juveniles in 2012. The law in Michigan doesn't apply to more than 300 current state inmates who were given life without parole sentences when they were under 18.

I did not want to put this up yet because I wanted to make sure I was hired and doing well before I let the cosmos know. I finally got a job! A job that I did not even know was going to be available. I think it was because I was on vacation in Philadelphia with Apple Bottoms and I had stopped looking for jobs. I received an email from Ingrid saying "We have an opening at the front desk and I was wondering if you would be interested to come in for an interview? You came highly recommended from people in security and Welthea. Would you be able to come in for an interview either Tuesday or Wednesday? Also, can you send me your resume? Thank you." It was an amazing feeling to have been recommended after only three months of volunteering there. I love my fellow co-workers and I enjoy the job at the visitors center. I am still volunteering as well since I will only be working two days a week once this week is over. It is exciting to finally be doing something with my life and not having too much time to think about the fact that I am supposed to be in Riyadh right now.

You have my vote on eliminating the DPS disparity and make the pet more of a utility tool rather than a DPS increase. With the removal of Soul Shard restrictions for pets, that means a Warlock would have a vastly expanded toolbox for any given situation, such as being able to use your Succy for a trash pull that needs that extra CC, and then swap to a Felhunter when you reach that boss that needs that interrupt or dispel something fierce. Maybe even grab your Voidwalker/Felguard if you need to help pick up some loose adds in an encounter.
Though, I wouldn't be opposed to an idea where each spec gets one pet (with the Voidwalker being the Solo tank) if your Imp was your "introductory pet", and then Summon Imp was changed to something else depending on spec (Felhunter for Afflicition, Felguard for Demonology, Succubus for Destruction). That'd remove the loose pet problem as well, though far less effectively.

Dimple Kapadia turns 55
Of the umpteen glam icons that Bollywood has seen over the years, no one has been as instant a hit with the teens as Dimple Kapadia was. Her debut vehicle 'Bobby' (1973) became a Calf Love classic, and contributed the narrative template on which many future hits such as 'Love Story' (1980), 'Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak' (1988) and 'Maine Pyar Kiya' (1989) were constructed.
Dimple had her Cinderella moment when the then superstar of Indian Cinema, Rajesh Khanna, proposed to her in 1973. Post marriage, Dimple was whisked away from limelight, and had to play Mrs. Khanna for 12 long years! She was re-launched by Ramesh Sippy in 1985, and went on to redefine glam and erotica in films such as 'Saagar', 'Jaanbaaz' and 'Drishti'.
Her intense portrayals in the award-winning 'Rudaali', 'Dil Chahta Hai', 'Being Cyrus' and 'Luck By Chance' have endeared her to the cineaste of today.
Click on, for a pictorial tribute to Dimple Kapadia, who turns 55 today.

Research Interests
The Computational Molecular Evolution Lab
We are a mostly "dry-bench" or computer-based laboratory studying the evolution of the molecular components of cells. Research at this level requires an interest in all the fundamental natural sciences, including biology, chemistry and physics, as well as some skills in mathematics and computer programming. We are keenly interested in the physicochemical elements of molecular systems that are evolvable (i.e. can change at some heritable level). Biophysics and biochemistry underlies all molecular processes in the cell, but only some biological molecules, historically known as "semantides", can contain information that is subject to heritable molecular change over deep evolutionary timescales. These are typically aperiodic polymers such as nucleic acids (DNA or RNA) and proteins. Biophysical interactions between these various polymers often define how gene activities are regulated and it is well-documented that species are as much defined at this level of regulatory interaction as they are at the structural level of proteins encoded by DNA. We are currently exploring the evolution of the biophysical properties of whole genomes and their interactions with DNA binding proteins. We often combine biophysical modeling and computer simulation with comparative genomics and epigenomics to identify where natural selection has acted upon DNA-protein interaction. Our long-term research goal is a more biophysically-grounded understanding of the functional evolution of these information-containing molecules in the cell.
If you are a student at RIT looking for research experience and you meet the following qualifications, please do not hesitate to contact me. You should be
1) currently enrolled in any RIT program related to the goals of my lab (biology, chemistry, physics, computer science or biomed engineering)
2) able to devote at least one year to the development of a project
3) rather comfortable with one higher-level programming language (e.g. Perl, Java, Python)
4) familiar with some basic statistics (R programming is a big plus)
5) have taken at least one course in molecular biology

Jerome Hicks sweeping the Treehouse Café while earning a little something.
I met Jerome about 20 years ago when he lived at Serenity House across the street and played checkers with the regulars at the old Walt's Market, where the Treehouse stands today. When Serenity House closed in 2009, Jerome was relocated to an adult home in Bremerton but takes the Kitsap Transit Access bus most days to Lynwood Center, his old neighborhood where he is something of an icon. And I just learned that Jerome and Jimi Hendrix are cousins and saw each other often when hey were kids. I think I see a family resemblance?

Why waste any time talking about the state's top juniors? That group, those 15 and 16-year olds, they are old news. The sophomores are stealing the spotlight. And that's correct for all of you keeping score at home: These kids will graduate in 2011. They won't take the field in college (best-case scenario) for three more years. Maybe the economy will be back by then.
Tucker's James Vaughters is the latest member of the 2011 club, joining others such as Gainesville linebacker A.J. Johnson (Tennessee offer) and Valdosta tight end Jay Rome (UGA, Alabama). Vaughters is 6-foot-3 and 220 pounds, sports a 4.0 GPA, and boasts extra early offers from N.C. State and Central Florida.
Since when did Central Florida start offering 2011 kids in Georgia? That's a good question. I had to ask that to Tucker coach Franklin Stephens. "As you know, [Tucker senior] Jonathan Davis signed with Central Florida. The Central Florida assistant is David Kelley, who used to coach at Dunwoody. He knows all about the quality of football in DeKalb County, and Vaughters just jumped off the film to him."
There are two common threads with the three super sophs: All play for very successful high school programs and, perhaps more importantly, all three are on teams which had a ton of college scouts looking at film over the last few months. In other words, there were many opportunities for these 2011 clubbies to be noticed. And noticed they were.
Tucker had five seniors sign Div. I scholarships, including defensive tackle Deion Roberson (N.C. State, another Vaughters offer), while Valdosta had offensive lineman Antonio Foster (Georgia Tech) and linebacker Mike Gilliard (UGA). Gainesville has a pair of juniors, wide receiver Tai-Ler Jones and quarterback Blake Sims, with around 40 offers between them.
Surely more sophomores will be offered in the next few months, if not already. Which players are your nominations for the state's top prospects for 2011?

i would have to say aj johnson. i mean he's only a sophmore and he's already like 6′2 220 4.65 forty time. the only thing i hear he needs to work on is he seems to be a little stiff in the hips(comparison: jarvis jones) which he has plenty of time to work on and improve and make a strength since he's only a sophmore. imagine wat he'd be when he's a senior! speed and strength will be improved and he's still growing! wouldnt doubt if he is 6′4 235 by the time his senior year comes around. this past year he had 160 tackles and was named a second team all-american by maxpreps. i know his brother but i dont really know him since he's like 3 or 4 years younger. but i think my case has been made here. lol. oh and here's a pic

IT IS ARTICLES LIKE THIS THAT IS ESCALATING THIS DISTURBING TREND. We should not give these kids any press at all. Wher do you think all this sense of entitlement is coming from? Stop covering these stories. I also think we will see a trend of school's pulling their offers when someone better developes in their senior season. It all so sad!!

griffdawg1, I would agree with you on your assessment of escalating these offers. I realize tracking these kids is important, but this is getting ridiculous. The next thing they'll want is for an early signing period for incoming players for the coming season, and then to move that early signing period up to cover the rising Juniors as well.
Between than and the time these kids get ready to head off to School, several of the programs may have changed Head Coaches, styles of Offense or Defense, signed other players that would impact their playing time, etc. It's getting crazy.

I would guess that Paul Johnson will start to hurt Richt's "dominance" of the State of Georgia. More importantly, however, is that Nick Saban is moving into Georgia faster than General Sherman. Alabama is a legitimate threat, especially since it will take at least four years to erase the butt-beating they humiliated us with on the largest viewed television audience in Atlanta history. Richt should really consider NEVER talking about what uniforms we're going to wear EVER AGAIN. The talk of the "red out" for the Florida game turned out about as well as the "black out" for Bama. The other team worries about kicking our tails and we're worried about how we look in our jerseys. Pathetic. Richt better get focused on recruiting and wining and nothing else. Just my opinion.

Dutch, You know what opinions are like. You Techies are still afraid to identify yourselves on the blogs. You beat UGA last year so some of you actually state your allegiance to GT. Others of you still hide after the 3-38 humiliation you provided the country with in the Chicken Bowl. Bama didn't do any better in their bowl game either. If you think UGA and Richt are pathetic, don't watch. I am sure they will all get over losing your attention some day. Saban can recruit anywhere he wants, TIgers gonna kick his tail this year and for the next several years.

GA TECH Insider, all this is true which is why in cases of changing coaching staffs, NCAA is leaning more towards allowing kids out of their signed LOI. I don't disagree with an early signing period for kids graduating early as for Juniors, I don't see the point!

I notice yall were one of the first people to see that Greg Reid of Lowdnes High was a special player, well I want to give you the heads up on a special player that might be better performer than Reid. Tyler Hunter of Lowdnes High. Everyone talking of Jay Rome but Hunter had 7TD played QB,DB,and Kick off Returns. He is 6 feet 195 and 4.41 speed. Max Prep has his numbers. Shuman Top 100 #1 DB. Greg Reid can tell you this kid is special. You will hear this name over and over again. Lets not forget this kid is one of the best baseball players in the state. BEWARE>

The next Alaska legislative session will take place in January, but already local organizations are announcing priorities they would like to see the legislature tackle when they return to Juneau.
The Greater Fairbanks Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors met early last week and adopted fourteen priorities for the Chamber.
Of those, five have been selected as the most critical, or urgent priorities to be addressed.
Reducing the high cost of energy here in Fairbanks and outlying areas was selected as the top priority.
Increased oil production, strengthening the military presence in Alaska, funding for the University of Alaska system and funding for the Fairbanks Metropolitan Area Transportation system round out the top five.
The priorities will be delivered to the governor's office and all members of the state legislature.
Chamber members will meet with legislators prior to the next session to discuss support of the priorities.

Last year I was living in Colombia, and while I had a language mission to speak any language despite location, and of course learn Colombian Spanish, one of my main projects in the country was actually to dance salsa.
I've finally made the time to edit together the footage to share that experience with you in video form, with both English and Spanish commentary
I consider my languages to be a huge asset not so I can just say that I speak them, but because I have learned so many amazing things, had life-altering experiences and made some fantastic friends through these languages. Learning salsa with locals and the experiences I share in this brief video documentary would have been totally impossible for an English-only tourist.
You can see the video documenting my learning experience in English here:
Or watch it in Spanish instead here:
Based on recommendations from Dave, a friend of mine and blogger based in Medellín I found a great salsa school and instructor (note: my instructorhas since started her own school, so if you are in the city and want to get in touch, her address is Carrera 43a # 25-233 Poblado , loma de San Julian and her email is ytherrera AT hotmail DOTcom) and my typical day in Medellín included intensive salsa lessons there. Yamile, my instructor, was fun and a great friend and eased me into learning the essentials, while making sure I had a blast during the lessons thanks to her quirky sense of humour.
She especially liked playfully taking the piss out of how Peninsular my Spanish is! (When I said something particularly Spanish she'd tease me with joder tío, qué dizzzzes?) Despite that I've tried to sound a bit more Colombian in the Spanish version of the video.
Cali – my favourite place of the year
But I have to say that the highlight of the Colombian trip, and I'd go as far to say my entire year, was the short number of days that I spent in Cali, Colombia's third city.
I stayed at Jovita's hostel, which included free group salsa lessons (as shown in the video), that I followed up with private lessons. The owners of the hostel brought me out on the town with them and made sure that I got to see a side of Cali that I'd never forget.
As a lone traveller, it usually takes a while before I meet people willing to bring me so deep into their social circle, but after just meeting them, Katy and Carlos could see that I was genuinely interested in getting to know the residents and culture of the city and introduced me to so many incredible caleños and took me out with them to several great venues.
This included an amazing dancing competition for the school associated with the salsa lessons, Son de Luz. The dance school is an important part of the community, giving the poor children of the city something to work towards. You can see in the video how talented they were. Salsa is literally getting them off the streets as they make something of their lives.
Imagine my surprise when Jenni (my instructor), Carlos and Katy had arranged for me to dance in front of the judges and the very experienced dancers! With 10 seconds notice, and everyone cheering the only foreigner in the building on, I didn't really have much of a choice! So I gave my camera to someone and luckily had an excellent end to the above video, since all my other attempts to record real dancing (outside of lessons) were in too poorly lit dance clubs.
It's the most intensive memory-filled experience I've had in a city considering the short time I spent there – I'm used to bouncing from one place to another all the time, but me costó mucho to finally leave Cali.
(If you liked the above videos, then check out a similar (but better edited) one I made about my experience learning tango in Buenos Aires – that one can be watched with commentary in 7 languages).
I hope culturally relevant asides like this hint as to why I am so passionate to get people to stop focusing on over-studying of their languages and start using them. The other foreigners you see briefly in the group lesson had a weak level of Spanish, but they were trying to understand the teacher anyway and actually learning to dance well because they were focused on communication rather than hiding away behind their doubts until they spoke it perfectly.
They were using the language in a real life situation before they were "ready".
THIS is what it's all about for me. A language is a means to an end. If that end is just to say "I speak Spanish" with no use for it, then in my opinion it's an empty achievement no matter how good your level may be.
