New Orleans quartet Mutemath hit Australia for the first time ever last month, touring their triple j featured album,Odd Soul. The soul rockers cruised our country as part of the Groovin The Moo festival, plus slipped in a handful of hotly anticipated sideshows. The triple j live music team hit 'record' at very packed out Hi-Fi in Sydney and captured one heck of a show, featuring big favourites like 'Blood Pressure' and 'Odd Soul'.
Listen to them recorded live for Live At The Wireless or subscribe to the triple j Live Music podcast.

1/3 Photos of Panko and Blue Cheese Olive Sumbishiz

Cook Time:

I LOVE panko…you could fry just about anything in it (Stridex Pads….lawn furniture….) and I'm game for chowin' down. It's so much crispier than bread crumbs and, in my opinion, sticks better to whatever you're frying. This recipe steals from another of mine (which I stole from Emeril, so it's not really mine) called Blue (Bleu) Cheese Stuffed Olives. The variation here is that these are panko-coated and "shallow-deep" fried.

Sadie's husband Jake has been slipping in and out of a coma for several months, yet his faithful wife stays by his bedside day and night.
One night, Jake comes to and motions for her to come closer. He says, "My Sadie, you have been with me through all the bad times. When I got fired, you were there to support me. When my business failed, you were there. When I got shot, you were by my side. When we lost the house, you gave me support. When my health started failing, you were still by my side. You know what, Sadie?"
"What Dear?" she asked gently.
"I think you're bad luck."

Well Mariners fans, what a week. The 2014 MLB season is underway and the Mariners have hit the ground running. I don't know about you but I absolutely love this time of year.
Having the season underway makes things so much easier when it comes to sports writing. Needless to say, it's time to play a game of "what we knew, what we've learned, and what is next".
What we knew
Looking back a couple of weeks, we knew this team was going to have a few issues. I don't think that anyone sat back after the last minute cuts and moves we made putting together the 25 man roster and said, "okay, we are good".
We had no idea what our outfield was going to look like. We had rotation issues that got worse when we found out that Hisashi Iwakuma and Taijuan Walker were starting the season on the DL. We also did not know this teams identity, because outside of Robinson Cano, where would our production come from?
What we've learned
This team came out the gate hot. That might be a bit of an understatement but I am trying to contain my excitement simply because, well, lets face it.. this team has let us all down a time or two (or maybe 10, I lost count).
But wow, what a way to start off this season. Sweeping the Los Angeles Angels and their heavy hitting lineup including Mike Trout, Albert Pujols, and Josh Hamilton. This dominant series win by the Mariners was fueled by offensive firepower and 3 gems pitched by Felix, Ramirez, and Paxton.
If I had to complain about something, I guess it would be the couple of defensive miscues in the outfield. There were a couple of easy fly balls misjudged by Dustin Ackley as well as Stefen Romero, but other than that the outfield has played well.
The bullpen gave up a couple of runs late to the Angels Wednesday night but the performance by James Paxton completely overshadowed anything bad that happened during that game.
Roenis Elias looks like a legit starter for this team. A solid start was unfortunately wiped out by Sean Barber's attempt to create a new inspirational sports movie aptly named "The Blind Umpire".
That was the most inconsistent strike zone I have ever seen. It was borderline ridiculous. I would have accused him of being paid by the A's but it was horrible for both teams.
Cocoa Krispies are being boycotted in my household for a month. I threw our box away this morning. Sorry kids. Coco Crisp was the thorn in our side last night as the A's beat us in extras. I blame Sean Barber, how 'bout you? I look forward to seeing the Sean Barber memes this week.
Whats next
The M's continue their 4 game series against Oakland into this weekend. Monday will be a travel day and the Mariners home opener at Safeco Field is on Tuesday against the Angels.
Prior to Tuesday's opening pitch, the Mariners will pay tribute to the reigning Super Bowl Champion Seattle Seahawks. Anyone who will be at Tuesday's game, post your pictures to SodoMojo's Facebook page or Twitter account!
Player of the week: James Paxton
Stat of the week: Joe Beimel became just the 3rd Mariners pitcher to record an out without throwing a pitch on Tuesday.
Bonehead of the week: Abraham Almonte. He goes into full spazz-mode every other inning.

2013 Tour de France Overall Analysis
right then with this thing finally over
maybe doc can blog on it a bit without gettin his face bit off
by rabids on both sides uv the fence
the first thing to take in with the DpVAM
is just the overal summary laid out simply in blue and red bars
the first thing to note is this
the TDF podium was determined in the mountains.
note all three podium guys put up two bars on 2 or more climbs
and nobody else in the top 10 managed to put up 2 bars even once
not contador not valverde
(guys who at one time have done so with ease)
at the far end Navarro shows how one breakaway
can make up for an entire tour of modest climbing
talansky shows how consistently grinding away
sneaks you into the top 10 as well.
mollema has what most would assume
a "normal" tapering off in performance
should look like
fuglsang and kreuzigerl falling off on Semnoz as well
in contrast
to reach the podium
took not just limiting bad days
but shows of climbing brilliance
(tuh throw uh quick secretariat jab)
the best of which was not Froome on AX3
but Quintana
who after burning matches too early on Pailharenes
(which he attacked at pVAM utterly unsustainable for 2 climbs)
and faltering on AX3
inched closer to froome on Ventoux (split bars)
then gave it some serious hell with
2 bars solidly up on Alpe d'Huez
and higher still
on Semnoz
Rodriguez followed the same pattern
of starting well off the pace on AX3
(without the tactical excuse)
showed life splitting bars on Ventoux
then 2 bars up on Alpe and Semnoz in the final week
(leaving out d'Ancizan and Croix Fry down hill finishes)
the impression is that the front of the race
simply got faster as the climbs progressed
as startling as Froome was on AX3
Quintana and Rodriguez
on Alpe d"Huez
climbing deep into dope era territory
was probably even more so
from the phsyiological perspective
using the simulator standardized to a froome like 1.85 m 67 kg 0.35 CdA rider
AX3 was won with a power output (ranging from full draft to no draft)
6.2-6.4 w/kg
for 23:14
pVAM (2008-2013 baseline) predicted 5.9-6.1 w/kg
DpVAM (2002-2007 baseline) predicted 6.1-6.3 w/kg
5.9-6.0 w/kg
pVAM 5.6-5.7
DpVAM 5.8-6.0 w/kg
Alpe d'Huez
6.0-6.1 w/kg
pVAM 5.6-5.8 w/kg
DpVAM 5.9-6.0 w/kg
6.1-6.3 w/kg
pVAM 5.8-5.9 w/kg
DpVAM 6.0-6.1 w/kg
just remember
every time someone asks for proof
a kitten dies
as bad of an idea it is to compare back to Lemond
across methods
(though Fred Grappe has apparently confirmed that the simulator based numbers are within about 2%)
the winning performance
every single mountain top finish was faster in standardized wkg
than Lemond road
in a Tour de France
but just barely
leaving room for hope
overall though
the data from the winning rides
is most consistently
within the Armstrong end of the range
(note that the estimated w/kg are not meant to be absolute values. for the smaller quintana his actual numbers will be higher still as his weight to combined rider plus bike weight and weight to CdA mean that compared to standardized watts his will actually be higher)

February 6: Your Money Matters - Job Hunting Tips
Tom Gimbel
Learn new skills
It's easy to become a creature of habit and follow the industry skills you learned 15 years ago. The problem with this mindset is that new information is constantly being published. If you've been unemployed for over a year, you need to step out of your comfort zone and learn new skills that will help your career.
Don't get discouraged
People have stopped looking for jobs because they are discouraged. No one said job hunting is easy. But when you focus on the jobs you didn't get offered, you'll only feel disappointment. The adage, "attitude is everything," is especially true in job searching.
Want Less
Though the Chicago job market is trending upwards, this doesn't mean that the salary you received before the recession will be the salary you receive today. You need to weigh your perceptions with reality and come to terms with the possibility of accepting a lower paycheck.
Utilize Job Boards
In the age of social media, most candidates think that job boards are obsolete. This is simply not the case. Put your most updated resume on websites like Monster and Career Builder. HR departments and recruiters still use these outlets to list open positions.
Don't pretend to know more than you do
If you feel under-qualified for a position, don't tell the interviewer that you're an expert. Acknowledge that you have more to learn in that area and explain how you would go about doing so. Not knowing is okay, but making something up or pretending to know is not.

A delicious mess. Boar and elk tourtière by Summerhill Winery. #devourkelowna #foodie #yum
Thanks, Garry. I was pre-occupied with ghosts at my apartment for a while. Starting to post again now :)
And a very happy new year to you!
Hello, 2014. I can't help but feel excited. 2013 was a banner year for me. A couple of big trips went down, made some dreams come true, had my first ghostly encounter (!!), moved to a new city, got a new job, and list goes on…that was one heck of a year! I almost didn't want 2013 to end since it was so good.
So, what's in store for me for 2014? Well, it all starts with a dream, right? And as I've proven to myself in 2013, I need to act on my dreams to make it a reality - an action which required making hard decisions and believing in myself and my vision. As my favourite saying goes, "Nothing is impossible. Your greatest limitation is your own hesitation." Think about it. All your dreams are just waiting to happen too.
Because so many milestone moments happened last year, I feel I only have one "impossible" dream for 2014 (for now, anyway): I would like to find the career path that allows me to be in control and be creative. That's it. Boring, I know. But I can feel it. There is something brewing in my universe which is why I'm feeling restless again. There is this inexplicable feeling I've only felt a few times in my life. And it's here again, stronger than before. I have yet to define what this is, but I feel something big is coming my way. Bring it on! I'm ready for you, 2014.
Yay! Thank you so much. You are very sweet :) And thank you for brightening my day!
Preparing for a trip to the City of Lights in 5 days. This means trying all sort of Parisian delights in Toronto so I can compare them to the real deal. In the last few weeks I've consumed an obscene amount of croissants, macarons, pain au chocolat, truffles, and oh, more macarons. Now I think I'm finally ready to move on and obsess about other things such as how to dress fashion-forward yet comfortable, heels or no heels, backpack or fancy satchel, and trying to pack everything in only a carry-on luggage. These are only a few on my to-do list. Everything is still in my head and haven't made it to the "Action" phase. Hmmm…maybe I need to add that to my list.
In the picture: Giant pistachio macaron stuffed with fresh raspberries and pistachio paste and a selection of truffles from Thobor's Boulangerie Patisserie (627 Mt. Pleasant Rd., Toronto). They were all mighty delicious!
Give me something deep-fried, slather with thick sauce, balance out with something healthy and all is good in the world (Yeuh Tung Chinese Restaurant, 126 Elizabeth St., Toronto). This kinda sums up how I want my food at every single meal. Gross, right? But this is why I had the side order of greens.
Filipino chicken noodle soup best on a rainy day. When it's cold and dreary outside and the ground is wet from the rain, it never fails to make me feel all melancholy and sentimental. One of my outlets is trying to recreate childhood foods exactly how I remember eating them way back when. This soup (called Sotanghon soup in Filipino) was particularly hard to recreate as it's tied to a particular painful memory.
A long, long time ago in the Philippines (I must've been 6 years old), our nanny took my brother and I to the wet market for her usual market run. We were walking along when we passed by a store with a crate of newly hatched chicks. They were the cutest, yellowest little things I had ever seen. So, we brought two of them home, named them, played with them, loved them and watched them grow into proud chickens. It was at this stage that someone in our household decided they would be delicious in a meal.
(Warning, what you're about to read next is kind of grotesque.)
I guess I didn't put up too much of a fight. I stayed outside, out of curiosity, to watch our nanny clumsily chop the head off the chicken, then it ran quietly but furiously all over the backyard squirting blood from its neck until it keeled over (I remember thinking that if it still had its head on, it probably would've screamed). It was at this stage that I finally understood what just happened. Our beloved chicken is gone.
Later on that evening, we sat around the dinner table with a beautiful bowl of Sotanghon soup. I watched everyone as they ate, chatted and laughed as if the chicken they were eating was just any other chicken. Perplexed and hungry, I put a piece in my mouth, chewed it with a heavy heart and swallowed. It was like a lump of charcoal in my throat, with feathers and its sharp talons trying to scratch its way back out. As it reached my stomach, I felt it running around like it did in our backyard. Then there was quiet.
I don't remember if I took another bite after that. Thinking about this now, I'm pretty sure that Sotanghon soup was just as good as any other. But I find it amazing how it all played out in my head at 6 years old and how I still remember every detail some 3 decades later. Thank goodness that experience didn't scar me for life. Or did it?
All shades of brown
defiant and purposeful
unafraid of what is still to come
yet welcoming in its demeanor
like a life well lived.

Topics: Delivery of Care, Health Costs, States
Mar 04, 2013
A study published last week, for instance, notes that although scope-of-practice laws might not restrict nurse pratitioners' ability to provide primary care, it does impact how they are paid.
The Associated Press: Nurses Spar With Doctors As 30 Million Insured Seek Care
Christy Blanco's health clinic in El Paso, Texas, is sitting empty. Blanco, a nurse practitioner, says she has a waiting list of patients, all the necessary equipment, and a Ph.D. in nursing that gives her the training to start treating patients. About 50 miles (80 kilometers) away in Las Cruces, New Mexico, dozens of nurse practitioners at clinics like Blanco's are busy caring for patients with a range of diseases from diabetes to asthma to depression (Pettypiece, 3/4).
Kaiser Health News: Nurse Practitioners Say How They're Paid Affects Care They Can Provide
In the study, published Thursday by the National Institute for Health Care Reform, researchers found that while so-called "scope of practice" laws did not appear to restrict the primary care services nurse practitioners can provide to patients, they do affect how the advanced nurses are paid (Tran, 3/1).
In related news, proposed legislation in Maryland would lead to the licensing of midwives without nursing degrees --
Baltimore Sun: Proposed Legislation Would Allow Midwives To Conduct Home Births
Supporters of home births are trying to convince legislators to create a pilot program that could eventually lead to the licensing of midwives without nursing degrees. The three-year pilot would allow certified professional midwives to deliver babies in a home setting without worry of arrest or prosecution. Certified professional midwives are trained in midwifery and meet standards set by the North American Registry of Midwives. Under the pilot program, midwives would share their birth outcomes with the state Department of Health and Mental Hygiene. The pilot would allow time for the state to figure out the best way to structure a legal midwifery licensing or certification program and look at what other states do, said Del. Ariana Kelly, a Montgomery County Democrat who sponsored the legislation to create the pilot (Walker, 3/1).

Where are the juicy baby back ribs in Toronto????
- pancake Aug 29, 2006 06:30 AM
My boyfriend and I love Ribs..... since RibFest season is dying down, I figured it was now appropriate to explore where else we can get juicy, fall off the bone baby back ribs to sustain us through the winter months . . . . I am interested to see what other chowhounds have to say on this topic. . . Thanks for the input, cheers from TO.
It's a question that stirs up a lot debate among Toronto chowhounders. One thing we all agree on is that good ribs are a rare find in Toronto. I'll list some spots that often come up when this issue arises:
Phil's Original BBQ, 838 College Street
Purple Pig Famous Smokehouse, 1 Richmond Street, West
Baton Rouge, attached to the Eaton Centre (a few other locations too).
It's gotta be Phil's. They are well-smoked, fall-off-the-bone ribs and have a great spicy sauce on the side. Beans are good, too, slaw is just OK.
Please note that these are not baby backs, but country (also known as St. Louis) cut ribs. Meatier, but they are fattier too. Most places do not serve baby backs anymore due to their high cost, or you will be getting a small portion if they do.
Pulled pork sandwich is superb and a great value at $7.95 for a huge sammy with fries.
The one thing they could improve upon is their rub, it needs more flavour and salt.
BTW, Mike Love's in Barrie is probably the best BBQ in Canada. Definitely worth a chowhound day trip.
When I was younger, I was a server at a ribs restaurant in Edmonton called "Bones", it was awesome. Especially good because we used Danish baby back ribs. Yum! We also had Flinstone-sized beef ribs, they were a bone-in short rib that was smoked. I miss them so much.
re: bogie
The Danes consider back ribs to be of lesser value, and a very large percentage of the back ribs served in Canada have been Danish for decades. Today, on the open market back ribs are at around 5.00/lb from a federal wholesaler.
$ 5 cost on a pound gives a protein cost of 33%!
( with no rub on the meat, or sauce to make it pull, no beans and no slaw) at the $ 14.99 price mark.
Will you pay $ 20 for a pound of great ribs at 25% cost to the business, which can give them a fighting chance at the other 75 percent?
The Flintstone Ribs sound great - I hope you can find a restaurant that makes them, or ask at your favorite place if they can make them. You might be surprised.
re: meatheadx2
I have no problem paying that price, but with a pound of baby back ribs yielding perhaps 6 oz. or so of pure meat, my point is that many customers do not see good value and that is why you see more St. Louis cut now.
re: Davwud
I absolutely agree
re: Davwud
No sure what "South" you're referring to, but everywhere I've lived in the US over the past 45 years (Chicago, IL, Iowa City & Waverley, IA, Gettysburg, PA, Cleveland, OH, Lexington, KY, Merritt Island, FL, Las Cruces, NM, Durham, NC), baby backs have been the rib of choice.
re: mclaugh
Certainly everywhere I've been in Mississippi, Alabama and Tennessee.
Tony Roma's is good too. Its Canadian locations can be found here: http://tonyromas.com/files/locations_...
re: bbbradk
Dipamo's is closed.
re: Davwud
Dipamos' is(was) Phil's. The two were business partners and they had a nasty split up. Phil lost rights to the name "Dipamo's" and then his partner, who opened Dipamo's on Eglinton, went out of business. Apparently Phil is trying to get the name back.
All that said, I think Phil's is WAY over rated.
Ditto back ribs.
Good ribs at The Roxton, 97 Harbord, just east of Ossington.
re: ognir
Re: Roxton
I guess i need to go back for the burgers because we both ordered ribs and certainly would not return for them.
Two camps out there. Fall off the bone 'tender' and still on the bone with bite. I am not a fan of boil n bbq ribs. I don't like when the bone falls out and the meat falls apart. if you like that, you will probably like these ribs. They are very tasty. But then you also have to like eating cold sides with your bbq ribs, because I don't like that either. We received cold potato salad which was delicious and cold cabbage slaw which came directly out of the fridge. These choices made no sense especially given that they serve hot roasted potatoes with the burger. If anything we thought the burger could handle the potato salad, but not the ribs, especially for the price. The slaw tasted of nothing other than vinegar too, so we didn't even eat it.
Our neighours had burgers and chicken souvlaki. The burgers looked great but the souvlaki not only looked like a very small portion, but the woman complained that the rice was 'crappy' and there wasn't much chicken.
Back for the burger and beer because the place is very nice.
re: Aardvark
The fact that people endorse the rib-trocities served at Tony Roma's, Baton Rouge, and the Purple Pig is a testament to the fact that Canadians are truly rib-deprived.
It's sad.
Dipamo's ribs were good. Phil's are too.
re: Aardvark
Practically inedible? R u serious? Almost all professional BBQers and joints use St. Louis Cut side ribs because they are meatier and they have an ample amount of fat to keep moist during the long and slow smoking process.
IMO, you have probably been eating the rib atrocities at Romas, Montana's, Purple Pig and so on. These ribs aren't smoked at all, but are boiled and grilled with sugary sauce. Not pretty!
re: Aardvark
Side ribs are a little more work. They're definately tastier though. I find that back ribs all come out tasting the same.
If you find you just can't eat them, don't order ribs if you're in the southern states. That's all they use.
Also, true southern style ribs don't fall off the bone. They're fall off the bone tender but maintain their form.
Camp 31 and Phil's are both the real deal. I hear the place in Kleinburg is the real thing as well. Memphis BBQ or something like that.
re: Davwud
Memphis is on Islington, north of number 7. They do indeed do real BBQ. The ribs are worth a small side trip if you are going up the 400 or already in Woodbridge.
Camp 31 is still the best I've had in an Ontario restaurant so far, but I haven't been to Mike Love's in Barrie. Phil's isn't bad, the rest mentioned so far go from bad to worse. Frankly, I'd still rather smoke'em at home.
Here's a link to Mike Love's menu:
re: Davwud
OMG, Davwud, I can't believe you said that about baby backs. I have been thinking that very same thing for a long time. No matter where you eat them, apart from sauce, the ribs have the same generic flavour. Very good observation!
re: pancake
Camp 31 is in Paris, ON. Highway 2 at Highway 5. I've been there twice. It's pretty much similar to many rib and BBQ places in the southern states. Nothing fancy but damn tasty ribs.
re: Mike from Hamilton
Well that is exactly what i am looking for......Good, southern style BBQ.....I will definatley be taking the trek
re: pancake
Enjoy your outing to Camp 31. We make a point of stopping by whenever we head out that way. The cornbread is fantastic, a perfect accompaniment to the ribs and pulled pork combo. Yum! And if you're really in the mood for a drive, head down to Rochester or Syracuse next and try out Dinosaur BBQ...
re: pancake
I just went there a few weeks back in August - very tasty ribs, but to be honest, they weren't quite as fall-off-the-bones as I had expected. Great service and great BBQ sauce. There is a place where you can rent kayaks / canoes close by, so it's actually worth doing a kayak / rib day. And yes, the cornbread is VERY tasty.
There's a Turtle Jacks on Hwy 10. I believe south of Derry but I could be wrong. I had heard their wings were good as well -- they're not.
I'm not a rib connoisseur but I have equal appreciation for Phil's Original BBQ and the ribs at Banknote bar (King + Bathurst). I've also had Baton Rouge's ribs but did not like them at all - the ribs were alright but they had very little sauce and just ended up being terribly dry.
Phil's ribs are of a great meaty flavor, firm texture, and a wonderfully smoky flavor. Their BBQ sauce is great, tangy and with some nice 'spice'.
Banknote's ribs are more moist and tender I find and the sauce is a little more 'flat' but is sweet.
I've had Banknote's ribs quite a few times while only once at Phil's but I really like Banknote's ribs if you like the more tender, moist, fall-off bone kind.
re: artificialard
is there anything else worth ordering at the banknote??
re: hungryabbey
Hmm it's fairly typical bar food but decent. They have a decent burger, and we frequently get the mussels too. The mussels are good but more importantly the sauce is very salty and buttery but delicious with bread.
Servers are always nice and oddly enough it's a good family place despite being a 'bar'. I'd say it's worth at least a visit if you just want a decent meal of bar food in a relaxed atmosphere that doesn't cost too much. It's always a good 'fallback' option for my family. If you live or work in the area then you should definitely try it!
Google brought this up too, has good things to say about wings and ribs and also has pictures:
re: artificialard
sounds good, thanks for the info
re: artificialard
I emphatically disagree on the Banknote-- maybe I've just had bad luck there, but the 2 or 3 times I've stopped by the food has been pretty dismal (including the ribs).
(Echo) Camp 31 and Original Phil's are both excellent; if Dipamo's is really closed, count your blessing.
By the way, Ribfest season isn't quite over yet: http://www.canadaslargestribfest.com/ is still to come.
Keep in mind that no-one in Ontario that I have seen does proper Texas (beef) bbq; it's all from further east.
I must go now; the stomach prep for Burlington begins at 2pm!
re: Gustatorian
true enough....burlington ribfest is this weekend......the nicest one of all, near the lake, great tunes last year.....hopefully I'll make it down, I am working this weekend.....
re: pancake
Thanks for the info on Burlington, now I know what I'm doing this weekend!
Gotta try
The Rubicon Grill in Mississauga.
Lakeshore Road (just east of Southdown Road)
Great ribs and wings.
The ribs are smoked and sauced really well.
Enjoy Stewart
Well I tried Phil's tonight and they were pretty much as I remembered side ribs to be - fatty and gristly - at least in certain sections. I would say that about 1/3 to 1/2 of the rib is inedible. However I quite enjoyed the other 1/2 to 2/3 so not a total writeoff. If Phil's decided to use back ribs as well as side ribs I think they would be much more successful and I would be there all the time.
Toronto is a bit of ribs wasteland...so if we're talking road trip, make a run for the border and try Tunnel BBQ. It is a Windsor tradition (50 years+). They have every cut of rib available. Very delish. decor is tacky-tudor 50 year old men's club style. Apparently people from Detroit cross the border for Tunnel BBQ.
They are dry-rub style with your choice dipping BBQ sauce.
PS - I'm not crazy on Phil's sauce, has that fake smokey flavour.
I heard a rumour that Phil's is closed so they can be made over for the tv show "Restaurant Makeover"
I'm crossing my fingers they don't mess with the menu too much
re: bestandworst
BR's ribs are good. But like I say, there is a lot of places that make good ribs. So big deal!!
But there aren't a lot of places making good ribs in the city. That's my point. Because the bar is so low in our city, BR seems good to some people.
Went to Camp 31 last week...those are good ribs! Side only, don't order the back ribs; too dry.

Suddenly, the Hershey Bears can't win at home or on the road.
Exactly one week after the chocolate and white saw their 12-game home winning streak snapped at Giant Center, the Bears dropped their second straight on home ice — and their fifth overall — losing to Charlotte, 4-1.
With the game tied at 1 in the second period, the Checkers scored three straight goals to end the period and cruised from there.
Charlotte scored the only goal of the first period before the Bears' Ryan Stoa knotted the score with a goal at 6:15 of the second. However, the Checkers scored 2:26 later to take a 2-1 lead, then added goals at 13:22 and 18:02 of the stanza to build up their three-goal lead.
Philipp Grubauer made 15 stops in suffering the loss for Hershey.
The Bears and Checkers face off again today at Giant Center at 4 p.m.

OKLAHOMA CITY – Don't know if you've noticed, but fans in Oklahoma City are either really lucky or just happen to be great shots.
The Thunder will play Utah at home on Sunday and a fan will have another chance to win $20,000 if he or she makes the half court shot. And if it happens Sunday, it will be a third game in a row someone gets to celebrate.
Thursday, against the Clippers it was Brad Brucker who banked in the shot and then got a hug and a handshake from Jay Z, who was sitting courtside.
The made shot continued an impressive trend. With an h/t to Royce Young of Dailythunder.com who pointed out fans are 5-of-22 from half court since last March. Meanwhile, this season, Thunder guard Reggie Jackson is 5-of-23 on 3-pointers.
Since the team came to Oklahoma City, eight fans have made the shot. A Thunder official told ESPN.com the promotion is not insured. That means MidFirst Bank who sponsors it has paid out $160,000.
"We might go broke," forward Kevin Durant joked after Thursday's game. "They're hitting every half-court shot.

the CE underreports spending in many expenditure categories. In particular, the aggregate CE amount for food for 1992-2000 averaged 72 percent of the corresponding PCE aggregate (see Garner et al., 2003). Income is also underreported, particularly for low-income families for whom reported expenditures often exceed reported income (Meyer and Sullivan, 2004).
Enhancements to the Consumer Expenditure Survey similar to those we suggest above for the integrated NHANES could extend the usefulness of the CE data, particularly the diary survey, for food and nutrition-related research and policy analysis. For example, reporting of Food Stamp Program participation could be validated and enhanced by matching CE records with the program's administrative records. Neighborhood characteristics from the 2000 census and the American Community Survey could be added to the CE records, as could links to geographically based information on retail food outlets. Although the CE is one of the most burdensome federal surveys, it might be possible to occasionally include supplemental questions related to food purchasing and consumption behavior that would enhance the value of the data for food and nutrition-related research.
To the extent that these initiatives increase the possible risks of disclosing confidential information, researchers would need to access the data at the BLS research data center at its headquarters in Washington, DC. It might also be possible to arrange for researchers to access enhanced CE microdata files on their own computers through a licensing agreement (see National Research Council, 2005a).

Unfortunately, there is no cure for arthritis. The goal of treatment is often to limit pain and inflammation, while ensuring optimal joint function. Each treatment plan designed by a doctor should be specifically tailored to the individual's type of arthritis, as well as the severity of the condition. Treatment plans often involve both short-term and long-term relief approaches, including the following:
Medications. Short-term relief for pain and inflammation may include pain relievers, such as acetaminophen, aspirin, ibuprofen, or other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications.
Heat and cold. Pain relief may be obtained temporarily by using moist heat (warm bath or shower) or dry heat (heating pad) on the joint. Pain relief may also be obtained by placing an ice pack wrapped in a towel on the joint. Cold applications help reduce swelling, as well.
Joint immobilization. The use of a splint or brace can help a joint rest and protect it from further injury.
Massage. The light stroking and/or kneading of painful muscles may increase blood flow and bring warmth to the muscle.
Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS). Pain may be temporarily relieved with the use of a small TENS device that directs mild, electrical pulses to nerve endings beneath the skin in the painful joint area. TENS blocks pain messages to the brain and modifies pain perception.
Acupuncture. Performed by a licensed acupuncture therapist, acupuncture is the use of thin needles that are inserted at specific points in the body. Acupuncture may stimulate the release of natural, pain-relieving chemicals produced by the brain or nervous system.
Assistive devices. Canes, crutches, and walkers can help to keep stress off certain joints and to improve balance.
Adaptive equipment. Reachers and grabbers allow people to extend their reach and reduce straining. Dressing aids help people get dressed more easily.
Medications. There are several types of medications that may be used long-term to reduce pain and symptoms, including the following:
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications. These medications, such as aspirin and ibuprofen, help to reduce pain and inflammation.
Disease-modifying antirheumatic medications. These prescription medications may affect the course of the disease, by slowing down its progress and influencing, and/or by correcting immune system abnormalities that are linked to the disease. Examples of disease-modifying antirheumatic medications include methotrexate, hydroxychloroquine, (Plaquenil), sulfasalazine (Azulfidine), and chlorambucil (Leukeran).
Corticosteroids. Corticosteroids are medications that contain hormones to treat rheumatic diseases. These medications, such as prednisone, can be taken orally or as an injection.
Weight reduction. Extra weight puts more stress on weight-bearing joints, such as the hips and knees.
Exercise. Certain exercises, such as swimming, walking, low-impact aerobic exercise, and range-of-motion exercises, may help reduce joint pain and stiffness. Stretching exercises may be helpful in keeping the joints flexible.
Hyaluronic acid therapy. This is a joint fluid or lubricant that appears to break down in people with osteoarthritis. Doctors will inject it into a joint, usually the knee, and this may be helpful for some patients.
Surgery. There are several surgical choices depending on the involved joint. Surgical options may include arthroscopy, fusion, or joint replacement.
Pacing yourself. To conserve energy and reduce stress on your joint(s), pacing yourself (alternating periods of activity with periods of rest) can help protect your joints and minimize symptoms of arthritis.

This is a "worry doll." Apparently if you whisper your worries to her, and then place her under your pillow, in the morning your worries will be gone.
It's also a fair trade product from Guatemala and benefits Maya women and their families. At least this is what a small piece of paper included with the doll told me.
Thanks Patti! "Checked in."

Eversheds to outsource UK-wide secretarial jobs
Readers' comments (25)
They've had problems in the past with get rich quick schemes but they know they'll get rich with this scheme, and quick.
ScoobyDooDoo - if something is worth saying, it's worth saying twice?
Let's hope that the loss of immediacy that having colleagues in the same office brings is a price worth paying.
I recall reaching a very effective arrangement with a secretary who wanted to work from home after taking maternity leave. I would dictate to a digital recorder and send the result to her as a WAV file by email. Result: immediate turnaround by an excellent secretary whose skills we did not wish to lose. The other fee-earners in my department would all send her non-urgent work (such as attendance notes) either by email or simply popping tapes in the post. She would come to the office one morning a week. No reason why many fee-earners could not work from home using such secretarial support. Could result in a significant saving in overheads.
Quote from the Exigent web site:
"Confidentiality and security are also guaranteed as we use a combination of encryption technology and established operating procedures to get the work done."
Security is 'guaranteed' eh? This is a *bold* claim... security is *never* 100%.
Moreover, what do clients think of such a move? Are they happy that potentially sensitive details of cases and so forth will be processed oversees? What about cases relating to personal sensitive information and the Data Protection Act (e.g. medical cases)?
Boy am I glad I don't work there as a secretary anymore!
Another tinpot scheme by Eversheds intended to show how progressive and client centred it is. You'd think it would focus on more fundamental problems - like woefully low revenue per lawyer. Touting a "commitment" to diversity and outsourcing won't help here folks. You have to wonder about the people that run this place.
Outsourcing is often more cost effective. Companies that work in legal outsourcing know that security and accuracy are imperitive and without these their reputations would be shot. Secretaries who are not doing basic tasks may be more focused on research and have more time to develop better relationships with clients and fee earners.
How can outsourcing be more cost effective - one of the main things to come out of this experiment is that Eversheds finally realised secretaries do far more than just type!! We are not actively encouraged to develop better relationships with clients or fee earners - we are here to do whatever the fee earner requires of us - without a pay rise for the last two years!! May be Eversheds should concentrate on keeping good quality staff because once the upturn comes about the quality of staff they require will all have been snapped up by firms who appreciate just what a secretary can do!
Considering Eversheds has already lost an enourmous amount of talented secretaries, it is disgusting that much recruitment is "insider dealing" by management and half of that management isn't even needed! Maybe too many cooks shuld be used here? Keep the people who run your business happy, like your support staff and you in turn will make your money!!
The bottom line is that the costs saved by outsourcing typing overseas is a drop in the ocean - it gives the illusion that management are being proactive in the face of a very dire situation.
Exporting jobs in a recession between now and Christmas to a country without a minimum wage and in doing so circumventing UK employment law.Is this really the future with mere fee earners next in line?
I am one of the secretaries at Eversheds who has been notified of redundancy this week. I was told we are able to attend interviews but what I didn't know was that you have to take unpaid leave or holiday!
Very interested, can somebody post the website address of Exigent as it seems not easy to find. Thanks.
If you would like to contact Exigent directly, please contact firstname.lastname@example.com
Their website is www.exigent-global.com.
they've got be realistic. We've all got to be realistic. exactly the same issues that the whole profession is facing. I suspect they're just being more open about it than most.
An existing ratio of 3.4 fee-earners to 1 secretary seems very high. Is this common? I would assume that some fee-earners, perhaps in appropriate areas like uninsured loss and debt recovery will write their own letters, being helped by precedents. Surely it must be extremely difficult to have such a ratio in many areas of practice?
I wish !!! A ratio of 3.4 fee earners would be a breeze. Following a round of redundancies I now work for 6 full time fee earners and in my firm, which isn't a small one, this isn't unusual.
Speaking as a legal secretary for the past 17 years will Exigent do the following:
Amend the same document about 10 times because the lawyer can't make up his mind what to put.
Find out what time the dry cleaners take last orders.
Answer all their calls because they have put it on divert because they are avoiding one of their clients.
Lie to their wife that they are in an important meeting when really they are on a boozy lunch.
Put through their expenses without questioning why they don't have any receipts for most of the things they are claiming for.
Submit their time sheets and make up any missing hours so they qualify for their PEP.
Book some irrelevant CPD course because it is September and they are in a panic because they haven't got enough CPD points.
1 year after you have left get the blame for anything that has gone wrong, or any file/document that is missing because you were "useless".
I rest my case.
This issue is bloody arrogant.
When the joy of low price is long forgotten the bitterness of poor quality still remains.

Wonder woman designed Kia Sportage to grace the world
"The Wonder Woman-inspired Sportage features a sleek and stylish look thanks to an aero kit which grants a streamlined but powerful appearance. The red and blue exterior color scheme, accented with stars, was derived directly from Wonder Woman's outfit, while the gold trim wrapped around the vehicle represents the heroine's weapon of choice, "The Lasso of Truth." Up front, Wonder Woman's eagle chest-plate emblem was creatively integrated into the production grille and is flanked by blue headlight beams, which reflect her piercing blue eyes. The Sportage's windshield features a banner portraying Wonder Woman's tiara, and the chrome side panels on the vehicle are graphical interpretations of her invisible jet. Beneath, the 5-spoke wheel design was chosen to match the stars on the exterior of the vehicle." - (DC Comics.com)
