From Peasant To Princess: What a Difference a Day Makes
- Friday, September 26, 2003
It is the true story of a young Jewish peasant girl who is herded through the back door of a Persian king's palace and wins his heart to become queen against all odds and save her nation. The biblical account of Esther has convinced me that our lifelong fascination with transformation through love and choice is a "God thing."
The Potential Of Promotion
Again, God reveals through Esther's life just how He worked through one young woman to save the Jewish people from total annihilation by an incredibly powerful leader. Esther's story reveals eternal wisdom about our own future and destiny!
How will people of destiny be transformed from their "peasant" state into a royal bride without spot or wrinkle? Perhaps the answer may be found in pursuing a second question: How could a mere peasant's passion for the king transform her into a princess?
The answers to both questions are hidden in the book of Esther. If we are to be the bride of the King, perhaps we should take some notes from Esther's rags-to-riches, pauper-to-princess miracle.
Most of us want to be more and live better than we do at the moment. Many of us live with the knowledge that we claim royal rank, but we act like someone more at home in the common surroundings of the world. People often have a hard time seeing any differences between us and those who make no claim to know God.
The genius of the book of Esther is its revelation of the way God overcomes human weakness and failure to elevate our position and rank all the way to His throne room. Esther gazed into the king's eyes, captured his heart, and found his favor. Then she was transported from the hall of women to the house of the king as his queen.
Was It Esther's Beauty, Her Secret, Or Both?
So why was a peasant girl from a nation in exile chosen as queen by a powerful Persian king? Why did Xerxes pass over as many as 1,459 other candidates from other nations and Persia's own 127 province-nations to select Esther? Was it just because of her beauty, or did she know a secret?
Could it be that God orchestrated Esther's life to reveal what can happen at a divine intersection where potential meets protocol? Who knows what can happen in your life when preparation intersects with protocol and destiny is birthed?
According to rabbinic tradition, Esther was one of the four most beautiful Jewish women of all time (the others were Sarah, Rahab, and Abigail). King Xerxes had unlimited access to the most beautiful women in the world, and his extensive harem system was proof of it.
It would take more than outward beauty or sensual appeal to captivate such a man. Xerxes could have had Esther remain a concubine or secondary wife, yet there was something about her that enticed commitment from him.
Persian kings generally selected their queens from Persian royal families, and hopefully from the families of the king's top seven advisors.They could have as many secondary wives or concubines as they wanted, with no restrictions on their nationality or religion, because the offspring from these secondary wives had no right to ascend to the throne.
Esther was an outsider, born not of nobility but of an exiled people! She had none of these things going for her, but somehow she won the heart and then the ear of the king in spite of Persian prejudices and traditions.Have you ever felt like an outsider? What was Esther's secret? If she was chosen, so can you be chosen!

I would like to scrape, filter, and manipulate data from the following web site in real time.
The deliverable is an excel spreadsheet that refreshes itself every few minutes automatically or on command with a macro.
The difficulty I am having is lifting the data in an automated fashion from internet explorer (the only browser our IT group allows) and getting it into excel. Once the data gets to excel in a consistent and useable format I can do the rest.
The challenge is the information is needed in real time. We are looking for a few specific pieces of information which are buried within many pieces of information we don't care about.
Appreciate anyone's thoughts on this.

I would love to hear some feedback from visitors to my website. Please take a minute and leave a comment or give feedback for me in the above Feedback Tab.
About Me
I started my passion for making jewelry a few years ago under the tutorship and inspiration of my sister, Sonja Jones. After having made numerous pieces for friends and family and getting great compliments, I decided to begin selling my work.
All my jewelry pieces are personally designed and created by myself. I love nature and it's beauty and enjoy creating wearable art with what is found in nature. Ammonites and other fossils make beautiful jewelry pieces, especially when combined with complementing beads, silver, copper or other natural materials.
As a child growing up in Germany I remember one of my favorite field trips was going to a museum in Southern Germany which was displaying many different fossils found locally there. As an adult I chose a career in the Science Field as a Microbiologist but have never lost my love of fossils.
For the past five years I have been selling my creations at Arts and Craft Fairs and in my small shop and tremendously enjoy my customers sharing the same love for the beauties nature created.

I went on the DoubleX Gabfest to talk about the new Jennifer Weiner profile in the New Yorker and the ongoing debate about women and the literary community (Thanks for having me, ladies!). I wanted to address a few points that I didn't respond to during the discussion, but that I feel I have some insight into as a writer of what has been classified as "chick lit."
Towards the end of the discussion, people were asking the question: Why does Weiner need to be taken seriously by the New York Times book review? Isn't she asking for too much? She sells a bajillion copies and makes a ton of money, which is what the culture at large respects. my pal June said:
As the profile points out, you write for the outlet…You don't write in the same way for the New Yorker as for the Daily News. And she's kind of writing for the Daily News, but in her heart, she's a New Yorker writer. I think in a way, the easiest way to address this is to have kind of different voices, different pseudonyms and write in different styles. That would satisfy her soul.
I can't speak for Jennifer. I don't know what goes through her head when she writes her novels. But for myself, I didn't sit down to write a "chick lit" or "commercial" novel. I sat down and wrote the plot I thought work, in the voice I thought worked for that plot. Certainly I hoped it would be appealing to a broad audience and sell a lot of copies. Most novelist aren't hoping that their book becomes a cult failure.
When I was writing I felt like there were serious issues that I was grappling with: What do we think is privacy in an Internet free-for-all? How do we construe celebrity? What is it like to work in a media world where the arbiters of privacy and celebrity are often very young and only moderately trained?
Yes, the protagonist was a young woman, and she the language was youthful and humorous. But so was the protagonist of Lucinda Rosenfeld's fantastic debut, What She Saw in….which was excerpted in the New Yorker. Her book was taken seriously by the powers that be. Couldn't mine be?
It was disappointing, then, when editors who passed on the book did so because they thought it was insufficiently deep. I understood their criticism and accepted it, for sure. And I don't think that the criticism was necessarily gendered. And I was so grateful to end up with an editor who understood and loved my book (love you, Kate!).
But a huge part of being a novelist is having an ego! It's the only thing that will push you through to the end, is to convince yourself that what you're writing is worthwhile and important. The nagging self-doubt that your work isn't worth following through on is ever-present.
I want to note here that I was super super lucky to be published at all. I know this. I was also lucky to have really smart critics write pieces about my book that were thoughtful and thorough. Those reviewers in TNR and Los Angeles Review of Books understood my complex intentions and didn't dismiss the book as frippery because it was written by and about a young woman. Did I wish I had a review in the New York Times, too? Fuck yes I do!
I don't think Jennifer Weiner is asking too much to want this, too. It's not like, as with Jonathan Franzen, she is dismissive of her fans or ungrateful about having sold so many books. Quite the contrary, she is lovely to her fans, as Rebecca Mead's profile takes care to point that out. Maybe people are just mad at her for publicly expressing what every writer of novels secretly wants: which is to be critically and commercially adored.

no place to run, no place to hide.
If you have any money at all, the. gubmint is going to find a way to take it from you …..
Nice article title but little substance in the body of the article…. you mention a few prices, source one quotation and call that an article? Is this the WSJ?
seems time to buy silver
"With supply expected to outpace demand in the coming years, the absence of investment demand could keep prices under pressure." You might want to check your source on this, because I don't believe you are correct. Actually, the opposite is true, demand is going to outpace supply. Its industrial uses alone will keep silver in high demand.
This forecast is from "TDSecurities"… Would anyone like to attach their name to the bet that silver will underperform gold?

I have been using TekSavvy's DSL for a year. From the first day to present time, the signal is so so. It disconnected once a while, but no big deal. The quality is similar as Bell, on and off once a while. But there is a situation happens all the time. When I use the DSL from 8am to 4pm, it is ok, got disconnected once a while, but it is steady enough. However, after 4 to 4:30 or 5pm, it is on and off constantly. I can't do anything during that time. I keep turn on and off my modem , I called the service , disconnect my phone line and re-plug in.... The internet comes back to normal after 9pm. This situation almost happens every day. On the weekend, it is on and off the whole day. This is like a kind of cycle. I was guessing maybe after 4:30pm to 5pm, more people coming home to use internet, so my DSL got screwed? It is frustrating and painful using TekSavvy or I should say Bell's line. Now, even worse, after the snow storm, the internet connection disconnected itself when all the lights on the modem are still on. I have to turn off and on the modem every 5 minutes. Everytime I called the service, I have to do the routine, changing the line, disconnect and connect the line.... It never changes anything.
Hey,If possible can you send me a PM or make a post in the direct forum with your account info so we can look into your specific issue?Thank you,David
That honestly sounds like a bad modem/router or line issue. The norm I experience is near zero down time and very very rare reboots (once every couple months). The only thing that was causing any issues for me was Bhell's firmware/forced modem rental. Stability, ping times, consistency of service were all improved when I moved from Bhell to TSI on the same line.
sounds like your dsl modem is losing connection. You can verify by looking at the dsl light on the modem, if it goes out and hen starts blinking it is trying to re-connect. Others (myself included) have had time of day specific DSL disconnects, usually brought on by some type of radio interference by lighting, etc. Can also be caused by other things using your phone line like a satellite receiver, alarm system, or just the phone... They all need a line filter installed, and line filters can malfunction and need replaced. Try to troubleshoot by disconnecting anything connected to your phone line, if all else fails teksavvy can have your speed profile reduced to make the connection stable.
Is your line noisy (plug a phone in if you don't have one already)? Old wires with cracked insulator will get noisy when it rains or snow melts.
I'm having the exact same issue as op. I subscibed to the TekSavvy DSL service in South Oshawa on the 1st of February and I've been encountering the exact same problems. From ~8pm-~noon I have no problems with the network, but then afternon hits and my DSL connection keeps dropping. TekSavvy was extremely unhelpful on the phone and I'm dying to know what's going on.ANY help would be extremely welcome.
Hello rtutt,Could you please post your account info in the direct forum here: »TekSavvy Direct so we can look into this issue with you? I'm sorry to hear you haven't had much luck with our tech support over the phone but we'll be more than happy to have another look.Thank you,Keith--TSI Keith (E-Services) - TekSavvy Solutions Inc.Authorized TSI employee ( »TekSavvy FAQ »Official support in the forum )
Did they resolve you issue?I have been having the same problem since I signed on with them.Even worse when it rains.
Even worse when it rains.
Yes, it's been resolved. A tech came over to my house and detected a short in the line, probably from something coming into contact with the wire intermittently. He re-wired the line inside the house from the external jack and made a new connection inside the house to my modem and I've had absolutely no service interruptions since.

I was on DSL for years, up until this month. I never had a major outage to speak of. I'm sure they'll help you out though, just ask them, they'll make sure you're running well.Every time my speed dropped below 80% I posted in direct, and got an answer within the day. I'm a power user, and my rsync speed is important.Teksavvy service is awesome. Just think positive, and work with them!

aww yiss
Okay, so here are my final designs, the white on the dress is where the lavender faces so the border print (see bottom picture) can be embroidered/screen printed/whatever i decide can be placed. The dress is simple in design, to most of the attention is drawn towards the 'print' at the bottom. The Hylian text says 'prosperity' I was considering doing Link, Zelda, Sheik and Ganondorf, but i settled for just Link and Zelda, as doing 4 might be a tad difficult. FOR THE LOVE OF JESUS DON'T TAKE MY DESIGNS FOR YOURSELF, I worked really hard on this, and I just want opinions from other Lolitas and LoZ fans. If you do want to repost this for yourself idk please source, i cba putting a 'watermark' on my work.
(Added a bonus picture of dress with the print on it)
crummyoutfit design for little Zelda.
Jinny asked it to be based off of lolita, so I took inspiration from my love of lolita, and with the games she wanted to have as inspiration.
Colors for the example piece aren't final, just used to easily recognize jewels from metal.
The shoes aren't my favorite; I'll have to take some time to actually look into lolita boots a bit more… I don't see this eager princess wearing any sort of heels; especially at the age we're having her be.
coming to a storenvy account near you. some… someday… (shifty eyes)

I dressed up in a Legend of Zelda-inspired coordinate to see Legend of Zelda: Symphony of the Goddesses! It was such a great performance, and made me nostalgia so hard. I look a bit lop-sided here because I was a bombarded a bit with photos when I was taking some of these, hehe. I wish I could wear elf ears all the time!
Since I'm kinda in a drawing mood, I sketched this up as well. It's Zelda and Tetra in lolita dresses <3
I might end up inking and maybe coloring it properly down the road.

Phoenix Coyotes
"Bad Faith" and Distrust: A Players' Perspective on the Lockout
Jan 4th
Posted by C in 2011-12 Ramblings
Gary Bettman and the NHL don't seem to get it. They never have. Since Gary took over in 1993, the NHL has seen three lockouts. Briefly, lockouts occur when the league feels that it can no longer sustain its current activities without a freshly negotiated collective bargaining agreement (CBA). Note, the league is the only one who can lockout the players. If the players are the unhappy party, they can go on strike. The CBA serves as a labor contract between the league and the players' union on a plethora of subjects ranging from revenue, to contracts, to pensions, etc., etc.
Under Gary Bettman's tenure, the NHL moved and expanded several teams to non-traditional hockey markets. Some have been successful and won Stanley Cups and filled stands, while others have floundered. The Phoenix Coyotes, originally the Winnipeg Jets, filed for bankruptcy in 2009 and the NHL had to take control of the team and they see some of the lowest attendance numbers in the NHL. The Bettman-expansion Atlanta Thrashers suffered so many losses and ownership struggles, that they moved to Winnipeg to become the new Jets, a city deprived of its original team by Bettman when he moved them to Phoenix to become the failing Coyotes. We can coin this the "Bettman cycle."
In contract law, there is a term called "bad faith." The gist of this term is that one of the parties to the contract intentionally or maliciously used deception to make the other party agree to the contract. We will examine this term with regard to the actions of the NHL.
Reports are surfacing that Bettman attempted a "bait-and-switch" of language in their CBA proposal regarding how the NHL could handle team punishments for hiding revenue (Charles Curtis- NJ.com). The league's language was changed in such a way that Bettman would have sole control of the penalties.
Reports are also surfacing that the owners and their GMs told Gary Bettman, who in turn told the NHLPA, that they would welcome the opportunity to renege some of the contracts they offered to players (Charles Curtis- NJ.com). This of course angered the NHLPA, and why shouldn't it? If someone offered you millions of dollars and wanted to take it back or even dump you from their roster, would you be happy about it or even ok with it? Of course not. Why is Gary Bettman, under the direction of the owners, doing this? Because they want to lower the salary cap of the NHL by ~$10M per year to $60M. That is a ~15% decrease for those not interested in doing the math.
The NHL was in a dire financial state in 2004 when a lockout took away the season. The reason they bounced back was savvy marketing. What could the NHL have possibly been marketing that would appeal to so many people and bring the league back to such great heights? Could it be players? Of course. And it was. Alex Ovechkin- drafted 2004. Sidney Crosby- drafted 2005. Jonathan Toews- drafted 2006. Patrick Kane- drafted 2007. Steven Stamkos- drafted 2008. New, young marketable players, appealing to young fans and fresh faces leading to increasing profits? You don't say.
Fan attendance increased in post-lockout 05-06 for 25 of the 30 teams in the NHL. Moreover, the average cost (tickets, concessions, parking, etc.) for a family of four rose from $256 to $329 in 2011, per Forbes. The value of the average NHL team has increased from $159 million in 2003, to $240 million last year, and average NHL player salary from $1.6M to $2.4M (Forbes). Could it be that the reason more and more kids want to play hockey is due to young talents emerging every year and inspiring them? Could it be that the NHL is seeing record fan interest because the best players in the game are in their early twenties, bringing a new young generation of fans to the game? I think so.
Young, talented players like these are why the NHL was saved after the 2004 lockout. Young, talented players were able to bring more and more fans to the game and in turn allowed the league to increase its salary cap EVERY YEAR for the past 8 years. That is EVERY YEAR since the last NHL lockout. Coincidence? I think not.
In 2012, we saw ENORMOUS contracts being handed out left and right for big name players. Crosby- 12 yrs, $104M; Parise- 13 yrs, $98M; Suter- 13 yrs, $98M; Weber- 14 years, $110M. There were plenty of guys signed in the offseason who were arguably overpaid by their teams. For reference, go read articles by beat writers and read fan Twitters from the summer. Plenty of grumbling. Every one of these contracts was offered to players a few months before the collective bargaining agreement expired. The owners knew that the salary cap would be an issue moving forward in negotiating a new CBA, but they offered these contracts anyway. Here we are, 6-7 months later. It is January of the following year. We are still locked out, the players are not receiving their paychecks, and the owners want to LOWER the cap by 15%. The salary cap is STILL an issue the NHL and NHLPA cannot agree on. There is something fishy about this. I'm not saying that Pittsburgh, Minnesota, and Nashville are the teams responsible for the lockout. BUT, collectively, the owners knew that the CBA was going to expire very shortly after these contracts were signed, and yet they still offered them. Now, they want to lower the cap and the GMs "regret" and want to renege some of the contracts they offered.
The NHL has shown a mechanical unwillingness to negotiate with the NHLPA. A number of times when the league made proposals and the players countered, Bettman and his cronies stood up and walked out of the room. The NHL has used fruitless, and frankly pathetic, language such as "final offer," "only offer on the table," and "take it or leave it" in their negotiations with the NHLPA. Sounds a bit like something a small child would say when he or she doesn't get his way doesn't it?
Since the 2004 lockout, NHL league revenues have increased by nearly 64%. Revenues, of course, don't translate to team profits and there are only a handful of financially viable teams in the league. There are a number of teams struggling financially. Some are struggling due to poor ownership and mismanagement, but others are struggling, because they are in places where hockey fans simply don't exist and hockey teams don't belong in the first place. This falls squarely on the owners and the league, not the players. Still, the players have made concessions. They have agreed to a 50-50 split of revenues, they have agreed to limiting contracts. Still not enough. How does the NHL respond? They behave like stubborn children, say "take it or leave it" and LITERALLY just walk out of the room. They try to make a preemptive strike on the NHLPA by going to court and trying to block the NHLPA from disbanding and filing an antitrust suit against the league.
We've heard from numerous reporters and writers from TSN and various other news outlets that there is a strong sense of distrust between the NHL and the NHLPA. Are you surprised? I'm not. The players are the ones who bring the fans to the stands. The players are the ones whose skills allow teams to market them and bring people to the arenas. Convincing players to sign for their teams by making them believe that they will receive a large amount of money and ultimately wanting to renege those contracts by masquerading under a new collective bargaining agreement? That is the DEFINITION of "bad faith." Putting up with the NHL's unwillingness to compromise, hearing the NHL say "final offer" countless times, watching the NHL storming out of meetings and behave like an 8th grader who just got dumped; do these things seem like the type of behavior that builds trust? Is this behavior expected to be perceived as professional? The question you need to ask yourself is, how would you feel if you were in the players' shoes? Would you be okay with the NHL wanting to renege some contracts? Would you "trust" them? I sure wouldn't.
The NHL needs to keep in mind that the players are the ones who rescued the league after the last lockout. The players will be the ones who will help them bounce back from this lockout. Fans don't come to see Gary Bettman and his golf buddies at hockey games. Fans come to see the Crosbys, and the Ovechkins, and the Toewses. This lockout won't end until the NHL decides to accept this and start showing some more respect to the players.
Fuggedaboutit: Coyotes Put Blackhawks on Brink of Elimination with Another OT Win
Apr 20th
Posted by Bartl in 2011-12 Game Recaps
Go ahead and think sweet thoughts about how the Blackhawks stormed back from 0-3 down against Vancouver last season. Say it. "Anything can happen!" "It's not over yet!"
This doesn't feel the same, though, does it?
Losing back-to-back overtime playoff games on home ice is one thing, but the manner in which they were lost is even more disheartening. Once again, Mikkel Boedker slipped one past Corey Crawford in the extra period, and the Coyotes took a 3-1 series lead over the 'Hawks with a 3-2 win Thursday at the United Center.
What we've seen in this series is a team consistently one step behind the other, constantly giving chase, even making it interesting at times, but ultimately falling short. I don't for one second believe the Blackhawks have been badly outplayed in this series, but Phoenix is playing just well enough to overcome the talent gap and is beating the 'Hawks on scheme rather than skill.
The whole let's-spot-the-Coyotes-a-lead-until-late-in-the-third-period-then-tie-it-when-we-look-defeated thing might be exciting, and this series has had no shortage of free hockey. It's the mental lapses that lead the games to get to that point that are the most frustrating, and Phoenix is taking full advantage.
There's no doubt the 'Hawks missed Marian Hossa and even Andrew Shaw, but what ultimately changed? The same shit happens whether they're in the lineup or not. The Blackhawks are that close, but it really doesn't mean a damn thing. Losing one-goal, overtime games is the same as losing 10-0. If it was January and the 'Hawks were playing this way, we could say, "The Blackhawks haven't played at their best the past four games and they've still taken all of them to overtime and earned a point. That's a good sign."
In the playoffs, it gets you down 3-1 in a series to a team that doesn't possess the talent, but just wants it more. And that's the thing – it really doesn't seem like the 'Hawks want it until they've fallen behind. They can talk all they want about what needs to change and they know where their deficiencies lie. They did that all season. It's nothing new. But if you can't change what needs to be changed, if you can't execute the way you know you must, then all that talk is about as useful as screen door in a submarine.
If seeing Hossa go off on a stretcher isn't enough to get the 'Hawks psyched to be flying all over the ice, then what in the funky hell is enough? What's it going to take? If they know the answer, it may be too late anyway.
Never Say Die: Blackhawks Even Series, Await Word on Andrew Shaw
Apr 16th
Posted by Bartl in 2011-12 Game Recaps
A full day has passed, and I still can't believe the 'Hawks won that game. Complete disappointment to utter elation to ridiculously nervous to celebratory shots all in about 40 minutes. Saturday had some of everything.
And once again, it had Brent Seabrook. Definitely the MVP of the first two games for the Blackhawks, Seabrook was a part of a last-second regulation goal to tie the game. His blast from the point was redirected past Mike Smith by Patrick Sharp, sending the 'Hawks into OT where Bryan Bickell would win it 4-3.
Just a couple of quick things as we await Game 3 at the UC on Tuesday…
♦ First, let's address the "hit" on Smith by Andrew Shaw. Before getting fully into it, the NHL needs to immediately institute a rule that states if a player needs medical attention from the bench due to an apparent blow to the head, said player should be required to be taken to the locker room for testing as soon as he's able to stand on the ice. With all the constant policing against hits to the head and the effects on star players – Jonathan Toews, Sidney Crosby, etc. – you would think this would be in the rulebook already.
Smith laid there for a few minutes as if he had gotten shot. Shaw clearly was trying to avoid the contact, and whatever happened incidentally did not require the sack-of-bricks fall and ensuing fake blackout by Smith. If it was that serious, Smith should never have stayed in the game. Instead, we may have witnessed the best dive of the playoffs – even better than Ryan Kesler's load of bullshit on Sunday night – that almost cost the 'Hawks the game due to a major penalty call.
Shaw will meet with Brendan Shanahan today, and if Shaw is issued any sort of suspension, Shanahan should immediately be fired. For the rest of his career as The Shanahammer, he'll have to answer for not penalizing Shea Weber and rightly so. For Shaw to be levied a suspension and Weber allowed to skate free would be such a crime there's no way Shanahan can ever be taken seriously again.
Iced: Game 1 Boxing with 'Hawks and 'Yotes
Apr 13th
Posted by Bartl in 2011-12 Game Recaps
When teams finish off the regular season hot and head into the playoffs on a role, you can throw the records and the seeds out the window. Sometimes, things inexplicably just seem to go right for said team.
Phoenix played roughly 59 and a half minutes without their leading scorer, survived a possibly deflating tying goal late in the third and beat the Blackhawks in Game 1 3-2 in overtime on Thursday night in the desert.
Radim Vrbata played all of 30 seconds before leaving with an injury, but Martin Hazal's redirect past Corey Crawford ended up being the difference – along with some help from Mike Smith.
A series of icing calls in OT didn't help either, the last coming from Marcus Kruger, who subsequently lost the ensuing draw to Hanzal before he scored the winner.
It ruined the comeback of Jonathan Toews, who wasted little time showing how much the 'Hawks missed him. He scored the game's first goal and later assisted on Brent Seabrook's tally with less than 15 seconds left in regulation.
So, what went wrong? A lot of things…
♦ The Coyotes' first goal had such incredible amounts of horrendous shit happening that I can barely bring myself to discuss it. Niklas Hjalmarsson hasn't exactly been Mr. Dependable in the last, well, most of the season, but that might have been the worst shift of his life. In a span of about 45 seconds, Hjammer made an errant pass for an in-zone turnover, whiffed on a clearing attempt, sent a blind ring around the boards, poked away a badly needed freeze from Crawford, before finally allowing Taylor Pyatt to slip behind him to knock in a goal that was all – and I mean ALL – Hjammer's fault.
What a fucking deflating stretch that was for the 'Hawks. And no, I won't ignore the fact the Coyotes got away with a blatant too many men non-penalty that could've been called by Stevie Wonder. However, there was too much farting from Hjammer going on that it trumps those two seconds of blindness from the refs. I saw many people blaming the officiating after the game, but that's just a poor excuse from sore losers. The 'Hawks lost that game on their own, and it all started with Hjammer's terrible play on this goal.
♦ If that weren't enough, the Blackhawks got caught badly in a change, leading to known cocksucker Raffi Torres skating into the zone unabated before finding Antoine Vermette for the go-ahead goal. Hjammer is an actual human being and is not invisible, but he still parked himself in Crawford's line of sight, allowing Vermette to blast it home.
♦ Quick give me a good reason why Sean O'Donnell played ahead of Dylan Olsen. Now, take your reasoning of, "Maybe Q doesn't want to play so many rookies in the playoffs," and shove it directly into your asscrack. Hurry and try and find another one. I dare you.
O'Donnell not only provided a lovely screen on the OT goal, but he was so far away from the net on an even-strength point shot that I have to wonder if he's ever played hockey before in his life. Nick Leddy was left to deal with Hanzal in front of the crease, and that proved to be no good for anyone as Hazal got his stick on the shot and put it in.
As Nakis pointed out on Facebook, it's time to send O'Donnell to the glue factory. Go ahead and play the "He has playoff experience!" card, too, if you wish. That's bullshit as well. Put his old ass in the press box and call it a day. Damnit.
♦ Brandon Bollig over Jimmy Hayes in the playoffs, when teams barely drop the gloves? Yep, makes sense – for all six minutes of Bollig's ice time. Thanks.
♦ Part of me loved the energy Andrew Shaw brought to the game. The logical part of me was screaming at him to calm the fuck down (oxymoron?). Shaw was at it before the puck even dropped and continued running his mouth throughout the game. He luckily got away with a blatant trip with about three minutes left that could've killed the Blackhawks' chance to tie the game.
♦ Speaking of, when Seabrook scored that goal, not once did I think the 'Hawks were going to lose this game. What's got two thumbs and was very, very wrong? This guy.
♦ Once again dividing myself in two, I'm conflicted on what Vrbata's injury may do in the grand scheme of things for this series. On one hand, if it's serious and he can't play, it seems to be a great advantage for the 'Hawks with the opposition's leading score shelved. On the other hand, the Coyotes just beat the Blackhawks by taking advantage of mistakes and getting solid goaltending from Smith. Vrbata may not have made much difference. Let's wait for the diagnosis, I guess.
Game 2 in the desert on Saturday night. Most of the CtA crew will be out and about watching the 'Hawks hopefully tie things up, and we'll let you know where we're headed if anyone wants to watch me freak out over absolutely everything that happens while drinking heavily.
Here's Boxing…
Jonathan Toews: "It's time to go."
Apr 12th
Posted by Bartl in 2011-12 Playoffs
And with those 4.5 words, he's back.
Jonathan Toews officially will play in Game 1 against the Phoenix Coyotes tonight, and may we all rejoice and breathe a sigh of relief. After sitting out 22 games due to a concussion, the Captain will return.
Here's what he told Brian Hamilton of the Chicago Tribune:
"I'm very excited. I don't think I've gone through anything like this in my career where it's been touch-and-go for just over two months and you don't really know when you're going to feel 100 percent. (And) you're doing everything you can and it seems to always be the same thing every time you wake up. These last couple of weeks have been really good. I've worked really hard not only to get over this but to feel ready and feel well enough to play a game. I'm really happy about that. Not only myself but the rest of the guys are excited to go out there and play."
Obviously, this doesn't guarantee anything in terms of wins and loses, but there's no bad news about finding out Toews will be in the lineup. Does Q send him out there centering Patrick Kane and Marian Hossa? Will he shy away from contact at all? One thing is for certain, the Coyotes aren't going to go easy on Toews for a single second. He'll be the target of physical play every shift he's on the ice.
Either way, things got a whole lot better for tonight's matchup. See you on Comcast at 9pm.
The Season Starts Now: Blackhawks at Coyotes, Game 1
Apr 12th
Posted by C in 2011-12 Game Previews
It's finally that time of year, folks. The regular season is now meaningless history. History will be made, starting now. The two month grueling process of hell, otherwise known as the Stanley Cup Playoffs, begins its 2012 chapter.
The Blackhawks start their run in Phoenix. Everyone was begging for the 3-6 seed matchup for the past month. Well, folks, you got your wish. We get to face the Yotes.
Game 1 will need to be a statement game. Mike Smith has been very stingy against the Hawks (and the rest of the league, for that matter) in every game this year. The Hawks will need to score, and they will need to score early tonight.
Jonathan Toews practiced with the team yesterday afternoon and expects to play tonight. I hate to be cynical, but I'll believe it when I see it. His status seems to change by the hour, which is understandable with finicky head injuries. Assuming Toews comes back, it could give the Hawks the spark they need to score early.
The Yotes are a physical team and will get after you and crash the net. The defense needs to make a statement tonight too. The Hawks cannot let the Yotes win the battles in front of Corey Crawford, leading to an easy tap-in. When you're facing a tough goaltender like Smith, you cannot give up easy goals. The Hawks' defense needs to make Phoenix work hard for their goals. If they don't, they will not win this game or this series.
The Hawks play a quick, open game of hockey, which is the exact opposite style that Phoenix plays. They tend to grind it out. Due to this, Phoenix will look to physically out-battle the Hawks and, excuse my language, knock the Hawks on their asses to slow the game down (see: Minnesota Wild vs. Blackhawks, regular season games 80 & 81). The Hawks can't afford to get caught up in the post-whistle stupidity and goonery. The Hawks need to keep their cool and play at their level, rather than that of Phoenix.
Lastly, if Toews does indeed come back, the Hawks will need to keep an eye on him. Phoenix will be going after him physically. You can bet your house on it. It will be really important for them to find the right balance of sticking up for their captain, and not getting carried away playing grab-ass. Blackhawks fan-favorite Raffi Torres is nearing the one-year anniversary of his demolition of Brent Seabrook. Just hope he doesn't try to celebrate the anniversary with a gift for Toews.
Game starts at 9:00 PM Central on NBCSN.
Hawks vs. Coyotes: Reviewing the Season Series
Apr 9th
Posted by Bartl in 2011-12 Playoffs
Yeah, I know. Everyone says you can throw out the regular season once the playoffs start. Things begin anew and what happened in the past should stay there.
That's probably how the Blackhawks should feel after going 1-2-1 against Phoenix, including dropping the final three meetings. While most – including myself – still believe the Blackhawks can – and should – win this series, the Coyotes were a giant pain in the ass in 2011-12.
And a quick "Did You Know?" … Joel Quenneville and Dave Tippett were teammates with the Hartford Whalers from 1983 through 1990. As you can see, Tippett also once had as fine of a 'stache as his boy Q. That's cute. If I was their teammate and saw them together, I'd call the duo "Q-Tip." Jokes. I get jokes.
Anyway, here's a quick rundown of the season series:
October 18 at Jobing.com Arena
Dave Bolland scored a short-handed goal 2:27 into the third period to put the 'Hawks up 4-2, and they'd go on to win 5-2 to improve to 3-1-1 on the season. Marian Hossa, Jonathan Toews, Jamal Mayers and Bryan Bickell also scored.
Taylor Pyatt and Ray Whitney had goals for the Yotes.
The Blackhawks controlled the action most of the way, outshooting Phoenix 15-4 in the first period and 35-16 for the game.
Corey Crawford made 14 saves to earn the win, while Jason LaBarbera took the loss.
Desert Dogs it is: Blackhawks Beat Red Wings in Shootout, Will Face Phoenix in Round 1
Apr 8th
Posted by Bartl in 2011-12 Game Recaps
Hopefully those who celebrate are having a nice Easter Sunday, and you're about to find out what day the Second Season begins in the Second City. You'll be seeing a lot of posts around these parts in the coming week with a wide variety of things being covered as the playoffs begin.
For the Blackhawks, the quest for the Stanley Cup begins in Phoenix after Saturday's 3-2 shootout win over Detroit.
Yes, Patrick Kane made a filthy move in the shootout. It had me taken aback, and his smiling face skating back to the Blackhawks' bench gave me a nice giggle.
But did that meaningless shot simply mask the disappointment we should be feeling after the 'Hawks blew a late lead for the second consecutive game? If Kane doesn't make that move and the Blackhawks lose that shootout, aren't we going around asking questions about how the 'Hawks are going to survive in the playoffs, especially if Jonathan Toews isn't quite ready?
Instead, we're all "excited" to be playing the Pacific Division champion Phoenix Coyotes, who ended the season with 97 points, four fewer than the 'Hawks. Avoiding Nashville sounds fun and all, but there's still the fact the Blackhawks let a chance at home-ice advantage in the first round slip away over the past week.
Now the 'Hawks get to face Mike Smith, who is pretty much the hottest goaltender in the world right now. Forget that he doesn't have playoff experience. Some guy named Niemi didn't have any either. The 'Hawks were less than a minute away from avoiding him and a Phoenix team that has won five straight games barely breaking a sweat.
A Little Help, Please?: Boxing with Blackhawks and Coyotes
Dec 6th
Posted by Bartl in 2011-12 Game Recaps
Quickly, Tim has some quick thoughts on the realignment – which I won't cover here – and Jim will be posting this afternoon with some more analysis about radical changes.
Is there anyone playing as well as Jonathan Toews right now?
If there is, it sure isn't anyone currently suiting up for the Blackhawks.
Toews owned the second period, bringing the 'Hawks back from a 3-0 deficit to salvage a point in a 4-3 shootout loss to Phoenix at the United Center on Monday.
Corey Crawford allowed three goals on 16 shots before being pulled in favor of Ray Emery, though the move was more of Q trying to spark the team rather than for the poor play of Crow.
Granted, the third goal was all Crawford's fault, though the first two were tough. Steve Montador got caught between his skates and his brain, trying to stop hard to chase a loose puck jetting toward center ice. He lost an edge, then couldn't recover, leading to a 2-on-1 break which Crow had no chance to stop.
The second … my God. Duncan Keith, please tell me what in the living funky hell you were doing? Keith blindly dropped a "pass" into an empty corner behind him. By the time Brent Seabrook had realized his defensive partner had a gigantic brain fart, the Coyotes were taking a two-goal lead.
Marian Hossa missed his 400th goal by shooting it into the foot of Yandle as the immortal Mike Smith was sprawled out somewhere in Schaumburg trying to find his way back to the net. Also cost the 'Hawks the potential game-winner.
Back to Toews. Can we give this guy some help, please? His 17 goals lead the NHL. He's scored in five of the last six games, giving him 13 points during that span (7G, 6A). His career high of 34 goals set in 2008-09 is sure to be broken this season. I know it's too early to start the Hart Trophy talk, but Toews is the only reason the 'Hawks even got a point out of tonight – the definition of MVP.
My roommate, who watched the Versus broadcast tonight, pointed out Doc called Toews "a great leader." Yeah, no shit. Isn't it about time everyone starts recognizing Toews as one of the best players in the world? Here we are talking about a guy who was the MVP of the Olympics playing for Canada. He's won every single major championship everyone dreams of winning growing up.
Toews is making his case – if he hadn't already – as an all-everything player who deserves even more recognition than he already gets.
And with that, here's Boxing …Sorry, there are no polls available at the moment.
Didn't we just do this? : Hoss goes for 400
Dec 5th
Posted by Nakis in 2011-12 Game Previews
Just under a week ago, the Phoenix Coyotes walked into the United Center and kicked the shit out of the Blackhawks in every aspect of the game. It was probably one of the three worst performances the Hawks put in this year – along with the Vancouver and Edmonton debacles. The Hawks had one good shift in the opening minutes and then watched the Coyotes dominate the last 55 minutes of the hockey game. The UC was a funeral parlor and you would have had to be drunker than Matthew Barnaby to enjoy yourself. Since that horrible evening, each team has played 2 games. The Coyotes were 0-2 in that time (losing to Winnipeg and Philly), while the Hawks took care of business against the Islanders and St. Louis.
The Coyotes come into the game 13-9-3, good for 4th place in the Pacific Division and 9th in the Western Conference. In their last 10 games they are a very mediocre 5-5-0, but they play their best hockey on the road, sporting a 7-4-1 record. The Hawks dominated the first meeting between these teams and the Coyotes controlled the second.

FBI Agent Mark Benford and a team of agents in Los Angeles begin gathering clues as to what might have happened as they struggle to come to terms with their own visions, or in Demetri Noh's case, a lack of one. Meanwhile, Mark's wife Olivia, and daughter Charlie, each have disturbing visions of the future with which they must cope. As the episode closes, FBI Agent Janis Hawk makes a startling discovery: an image from CCTV in Detroit of a man in black, walking through the stadium while everyone around him is unconscious.

Louisiana's Economic Development Department has been awarded a $1 million federal grant that will be used to create a master plan to help the state attract foreign investment and open export markets for local businesses.
The U.S. Commerce Department's Economic Development Administration announced the grant award Monday.
The grants are part of an Obama administration effort to double U.S. exports by 2015.
The grant funds will be used to support the development of the state's first master plan for international commerce and implement the plan through marketing and technical assistance.
"This critical EDA investment will allow Louisiana to develop a plan that will help them capitalize on their unique assets to create new jobs through the attraction of foreign investment and increased exports," Commerce Secretary Penny Pritzker said.
Stephen Moret, LED secretary, said the master plan is the first item for the Louisiana Board of International Commerce, a 23-member organization appointed by Gov. Bobby Jindal in March.
LED sees opportunities to boost the Louisiana economy by attracting foreign direct investment, pursuing manufacturing and other trade-related jobs that can be brought back to the U.S. from overseas, and to increase the amount of containerized and bulk cargo moving through Louisiana ports.
The master plan, along with separate projects to develop strategies for bringing back jobs from overseas and increasing bulk cargo, should be completed and approved by the state commerce board in January, Moret said.
Moret noted that Louisiana is already a national leader in export growth and foreign investment.
"We expect to build on our strong position substantially over the next few years, creating thousands of jobs in the process," he said.
Louisiana's worldwide exports increased 3.4 percent to a record $29 billion in the first six months of 2013, compared with the same period in 2012.
The World Trade Center of New Orleans said recently that Louisiana's principal export markets through the second quarter were Mexico, $3.26 billion; China, $2.58 billion; and Singapore, $1.53 billion. They were followed by Japan, Canada, Brazil, the Netherlands, Panama, Egypt and France

Within just a couple blocks of the home you will find great dining and people watching, a local market and shops.

The living area is an open layout and has beautiful hardwood floors, a wood burning fireplace and plenty of windows that make for a striking and comfortable space.

Rebecca Black was getting made fun of at school SO MUCH after "Friday" came out -- that her mother decided to pull her out and began homeschooling the singer.
Black just told ABC News ... students were constantly targeting her, explaining, "When I walk by they'll start singing 'Friday' in a really nasally voice ... Or, you know, they'll be like, 'Oh hey, Rebecca, guess what day it is?'"
Black's mom told ABC the move will also help the 14-year-old focus on her career.
If you can't handle the heat, get out of the kitchen.
Focus on what career? Auto tune is going to get you no where, might as well go back to school and tank it out until you're 18 and turn into an even worse version of Miley Cyrus.
parents and producer trying to sell us something and make money but the funny part here is that he success is due to bad songs she is singing. Her singing and lyrics are on family circle level. I do not say she does not have talent but I just say she has being exploit and exposed with something which should not reach any public other then her school or kid parties. Trying to be famous and sucessfull could be ok if it is not so rediculously bad. The poor girl is manipulated by ambitious parents not understanding she is making a fool of herself. One advise - make a good song with good lyrics arange the music professionally and then produce and try to sell...
She sucks and her songs sucks. So it's given she will be teased about her songs and nasally voice.
I doubt she has a single friend at that school and prob never did. She doesn't need school anyways. Her parents will pimp her until she's used up and then dump her. There's a fairly strong backlash against untalented celebs now anyways.
It's AMAZING how many of you are so jealous of this girl, who was like so many of you who use YouTube, FB, Twitter, etc. to gain attention and bask in some sort of celebrity. Those numb_nuts who were giving Rebecca a hard time at her high school were overwhelmed by envy and jealousy because they didn't have as many "friends" on FB, or have as many views on YT.
Many of you are commenting on a "lack of talent?" Do any of you listen to modern music? Most of it is full of talentless idiots TRYING to sing or play instruments! I mean Neil Young and Bob Dylan were mediocre singers, too, but they never used auto tune and still don't. And "nasally?" Neil Young comes to mind, so does Fergie, Axl Rose, Tom Petty, and Patty LaBelle.
Rebecca Black was just "at the right place at the right time," and very lucky, and THAT's what it takes to be successful in the music business. Stop with vitriol; she's young, and she hasn't had the chance to develop her talent and "package" (however mediocre you say it may be). You go, Rebecca, and the rest you, keep wishing for more hits on YOUR YT and FB pages.
i would have did the same
i think rebecca black is so beautiful and i feel bad that she can even go 2 seconeds with feeling insucure just becuase people want to make her suffer i think shes talented and a great singer
Did anyone see Rebecca Black's friend Benni Cinkle's Music Video that was just released? She's the girl wearing pink in the Friday video. Now out with her own song called "Can You See Me Now". Not sure what to think of it yet. Any opinions? http://youtu.be/ywo8H_Tz5eY
I'm being honest, she cannot sing. The only reason she's famous is because everyone hates her. She has no career in singing.

Home » News » Politics » Town Meetings
Six percent turnout at Gilmanton's first SB-2 session
Residents amended several articles in the proposed $3.3 million budget during the five-hour meeting, said Debra A. Cornett, the town clerk and tax collector.

It took three times to amend Article 27, which as proposed asked voters for $44,000 to be deposited in the town's Capital Reserve Ambulance Replacement Fund.

One amendment was proposed that would have reduced that amount to $5,000 but that failed. A second amendment that failed would have eliminated the deposit entirely, Cornett said.

After much discussion, a third amendment was passed that changes the amount to be deposited in the ambulance fund to $22,000.

Also amended was Article 28, which proposed $87,000 to be deposited in the Capital Reserve Fire Engine Fund. Residents chose to change the amount to the budget committee's recommended $85,000. The selectmen had not recommended this article.

Residents also sided with the budget committee on Article 32, which would have asked voters for $64,040 to be deposited in the Capital Reserve Highway Equipment Fund. The selectmen did not recommend this article, but the budget committee recommended the amount of $30,000, which was the voter's preference as well.

Voting will take place on March 12 at Gilmanton Academy from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
