The Canucks Week in Quips for April 13

This is a regular Friday feature — running on Saturday this week — combining a healthy mixture of observation, analysis, and foresight on the Vancouver Canucks. If you'd like to get at me about anything covered in this column, follow me on Twitter at @yyjordan and let's start a textual relationship (wink).
Game #41 Preview: Canucks @ Avalanche

Among the four Northwest Division also rans, the Avalanche were my preseason pick to overachieve expectations. Instead they've put in a thoroughly miserable season culminating in the team getting called out vociferously by veteran netminder J.S. GIguere.
The Avalanche are in full on "not winning for MacKinnon" mode at this point and probably won't pose much of a stiff test for the Canucks, who haven't lost to the Avalanche since January of 2011 (and that was in OT). Going back three seasons the Canucks have put up a hilarious 14-0-1 record against Colorado's club and will look to win a fifteenth against their divisional rival this afternoon in Denver. Frankly I'd expect to see the Avalanche show some pride and give the Canucks a game on Saturday afternoon, with Cory Schneider being up to the task and the Canucks winning anyway as is their usual wont...

The Week of a Canucks Bandwagoner

In Vancouver, a veritable mecca of hockey controversy, the term "bandwagoner" can be controversial in and of itself. Even the origin of the word is controversial. It is widely accepted that the term began with Dan Rice parading a popular politician around on a circus wagon, but that may not be the case. To make this clear, I define a bandwagoner as any fan that follows most of the following guidelines: (read past the jump for those guidelines and more!).

Today Canucks Army, the Canucks blog that steadfastly refuses to watch the games, we recapped Wednesday night's 4-1 Canucks victory over the Calgary Flames, we marvelled at Chris Higgin's penalty-killing prowess, pointed out why some fans and media are making too much of Mason Raymond's offensive struggles in the postseason and gave Alexandre Burrows some credit for his best defensive season as a professional hockey player.
Read past the jump for more dry wit, Canucks links and stuff about Zack Kassian.
Alex Burrows is Crushing it Defensively this Season
Thomas Drance
April 11 2013 02:57PM
There's another side to Alex Burrows beyond the plethora of even-strength goals: his stellar defense.
Photo Credit: Jeff Vinnick via NHLI
The Frank J. Selke Trophy - awarded to the NHL's best defensive forward every season, as you probably know - is kind of like a Gold Glove in baseball: it tells us more about a player's reputation that it does about their real defensive utility.
Consider the example of Ryan Kesler, unquestionably one of the league's best two-way players over the past five seasons. For years Ryan Kesler was Vancouver's primary defensive ace, and a deserving Selke nominee (even winner). That was true up until 2010-11 when Kesler was deployed in a calibrated offensive role by Vancouver's coaching staff. With Manny Malhotra soaking up the toughest matchups, the most short-handed ice-time among all Canucks forwards, and the bulk of defensive zone draws - Kesler took advantage and scored forty goals on his way to winning, ironically, the Selke.
It's telling that Ryan Kesler, a defence-first forward for the majority of his career, finally won the award for "best defensive forward" in the NHL during the one season in his career that he had the least defensive responsibility. Anyway, one guy who won't be considered for the Selke this season, and who probably shouldn't be despite being an absurdly effective defensive presence all year, is Alex Burrows. We'll elaborate on the other side of the jump.

An approach to vertical partitioning in relational databases in which the attributes of a relation are partitioned according to a set of transactions is proposed. The objective of vertical partitioning is to minimize the number of disk accesses in the system. Since transactions have more semantic meanings than attributes, this approach allows the optimization of the partitioning based on a selected set of important transactions. An optimal binary partitioning (OBP) algorithm based on the branch and bound method is presented, with the worst case complexity of O(2n), where n is the number of transactions. To handle systems with a large number of transactions, an algorithm BPi with complexity varying from O(n) to O(2n) is also developed. The experimental results reveal that the performance of vertical partitioning is sensitive to the skewness of transaction accesses. Further, BPi converges rather rapidly to OBP. Both OBP and BPi yield results comparable with that of global optimum obtained from an exhaustive search

Originally posted on Vikings Digital Diaries | Last updated 4/19/12
Guys, I have some bad news for you; There aren't many people looking forward to the 2012 Minnesota Vikings.
After the NFL schedule was released this week, every crappy blog on the internet (including this one! *does jig*) wanted to recap a schedule that had little to no meaning at this point in the year. This includes CBSSports.com's "Eye on the NFL" blog, which took a look at the LEAST anticipated match ups in 2012. Technically, they just straight up call their feature "THE 10 WORST GAMES OF THE 2012 NFL SCHEDULE" leaving very little room for misinterpretation that, yes, the 2012 Minnesota Vikings may in fact be the worst.
Straight out of the gate in their review:
Jaguars at Vikings, Week 1, September 9
Vikes-Jags already had "overdrafted second-year quarterback stinkbomb" written all over it in the first place, and even though it could turn into a sneaky shoutout depending on the secondary of each squad, it's hard to imagine that Adrian Peterson will be at full form to try and face 2011 rushing leader Maurice Jones-Drew ... provided he hasn't held out for a new deal.
Guh. It's hard to disagree. Gabbert is the worst, and the jury is still "hung" on Christian Ponder. On top of this, both of these teams' jerseys suck mega balls too. It'll be a match up so void of excitement that your penis will actually retract into your stomach and weep for the better days.
Unfortunately, it only gets worse.
The second game they list is also a Vikings game, their only "prime time" game on a Thursday night against the Bucs:
Buccaneers at Vikings, October 25 (Thursday)
Every single team has to get a Thursday game as I understand it, so maybe it wasn't so bad of the NFL to stick these two stinkers together for one game.
Hard to argue with this one right now either. Chances are, the Vikings "big draft pick" will be a left tackle, a rather unsexy position in the NFL, and the Bucs are rumored to be taking Morris Claiborne or Trent Richardson. Prime time sex appeal around these teams and picks? It can be summed up with an exasperated "Eeehhh ....." The fact that the Vikings even have a prime time game this year is pretty amazing, but then when you realize it's a Thursday night game on the NFL Network that only a choice number of people have access to, it's not really prime time, but rather a pity selection. Big surprise. This one will be difficult to watch.
The last time the Vikings are mentioned makes them participants in three of the ten worst games in 2012, the most of any NFL team on this "worst" list:
Seahawks vs. Vikings, Week 9, November 4
I'm sorry, but whenever the primary storyline that you could drum up for a game involves the words "Tarvaris Jackson Bowl," you've probably run into a relatively unexciting matchup.
Oh god. The TarVar Bowl could quite easily take on a life of it's own. Placing this match up as one of the worst this year is a no brainer. The only hope for redemption here is that TarVar eventually gets beat out by Matt Flynn or whatever else scrub they have competing with him. Otherwise it'll be a contest to see how many touchdowns TarVar throws for the Vikings. Through interceptions. Finally.
Now, sure, this is all the opinion of one person. And at this point in the year, before the draft, roster cuts, further free agency moves, trades, training camps, and more ... It's real hard to tell which teams will suck and which ones won't. But based strictly on star and national appeal? It's hard to argue that this season the Vikings won't have it early. Until Purple Jesus gets back, and until Ponder proves he can get the ball to Percy Harvin reliably, there isn't much else on this team that is going to draw the eyes of the nation.
Which is perfect, because that's how teams sneak up on people and into the playoffs. WE COMIN', WE COMIN'!!!!!

|I ordered this HTC cover on January 18; it was shipped same day and I received it on February 4, which was less than the 20 business days estimated by MITB, so well done! It arrived in a retail box, and was shipped in a larger cardboard box; well packed, and was in perfect condition. It fits the phone perfectly and has a nice tactile feel.

IRVING -- The season is here, finally, and there are a few new players at some key positions for the Cowboys. One of them is kicker David Buehler.
Forget the fact he's a strong kickoff guy, NFL-high 29 touchbacks last season. Making field goals is a new job in addition to kickoffs. In the preseason, Buehler made 10-of-11 field goal attempts including four in the preseason finale vs. Miami.
Buehler's 31-yarder as time expired gave the Cowboys a 27-25 victory.
"It's good I was able to show [that I could make big kicks]," Buehler said before Monday's practice at Valley Ranch. "I showed them a lot in practice by putting the ball through the uprights."
Now it's for real and on Sunday the Cowboys visit the Washington Redskinsin a NFC East divisional contest. Buehler is replacing Nick Folk, who is kicking for the New York Jets, after he was released toward the end of last season for missing 10 field goals.
But in Folk's first year as the place kicker, 2007, he reached the Pro Bowl making 26-of-31 field goal tries.
It's hard to determine how good Buehler will be in 2010 yet he did play last season and saw how Folk dealt with his struggles.
"I know what to expect on Sundays," said Buehler, who shaved his head to impress his girlfriend. "It does help going though that year, I've already been though so I know what to expect. I've played [on FedEx Field] and I'm going to back to what I know and getting back to that routine."

Analysis: Bank of England's 'challenging' outlook warning
ITV News' economics editor, Noreena Hertz, explores the Bank of England's announcement that they are to help boost lending by up to £150 billion.
In a speech on Tuesday, Mark Carney, Governor of the Bank of England warned of "challenging" time ahead following the Brexit vote.
Aviva suspends trading in £1.8bn property fund after Brexit
Aviva has suspended trading in its £1.8 billion property fund as investors scramble to pull their money out of UK commercial property holdings following the Brexit vote.
"Extraordinary market circumstances" - @avivainvestors suspends £1.7bn UK property fund. Some investors clear feel it's not worth that now.
The move follows Standard Life Investments, which made the same move on Monday, halting dealings in its £2.7 billion UK property fund.
Over recent months we have been experiencing higher than usual volumes of requests to sell units in the trust, and this, coupled with challenging market conditions in light of investor sentiment regarding the EU referendum, has reduced the amount of cash held by the trust.
As it takes a considerable time to sell properties, we have had to suspend dealing until the amount of cash held in the trust increases.
The suspension means that investors are now restricted from buying or selling shares in the fund.
Aviva said it is acting in the interests of all investors, adding that it was unable to give a timeframe for when the suspension would be lifted.
It's probably only a matter of time before we see other funds follow suit. The problem these funds face is that it takes time to sell commercial property to meet withdrawals, and the cash buffers built up by the managers have been eroded by investors heading for the door, both in the run-up to the EU referendum, and in the aftermath.

What Types of Lease Clauses Are Illegal in California?
Be on the lookout for these illegal terms in your California lease or rental agreement.
I'm concerned that my lease includes some illegal clauses that sign away my rights under California landlord-tenant law. Are there provisions I should watch out for?
Smart tenant! You'll want to avoid renting from a landlord who uses a lease with terms that attempt to take away various protections of California law. California's Civil Code (CC § 1953) expressly forbids the use of many types of illegal provisions, including tenant waiver of the following rights:
- rights granted by rent control laws, such as rent ceilings and just cause for eviction requirements
- repair-and-deduct rights that allow tenants to arrange for certain necessary repairs and deduct the cost from the next month's rent (unless the tenant agreed to handle repairs and maintenance in exchange for a lower rent)
- the right to landlord notice to enter rental property to inspect or repair the property or to show the rental property to prospective renters or buyers
- the right to pursue legal action against a landlord who fails to maintain the rental property, which as a result, leads to a tenant's (or guest's) injury or property damage
- rights under state-required eviction rules and eviction procedures, which prohibit "self-help" evictions, such as the landlord changing the locks and removing property if the tenant doesn't pay the rent
- the right to legal notice, trial, jury, or appeal in a lawsuit
- the right to a refund of the security deposit within three weeks after the tenant vacates the property, or a written itemization as to how the deposit was applied to back rent, costs of cleaning and repairs, and the like, and
- the right to communicate with other tenants—for example, for the purpose of organizing a tenants' association.
For more details on these and other illegal lease clauses in California, and tenant options for landlord violation of these rights, see California Tenant Rights, by David Brown and Janet Portman (Nolo). Also see the State Landlord-Tenant Laws section of this site for details on specific tenant protections and landlord responsibilities under California law.

Apple expertise
Published: Monday, January 12, 2004 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, January 12, 2004 at 12:00 a.m.
Although New Zealand is half a world away, the small nation has already had an affect on Henderson County's apple industry. It was there the variety named Gala was produced -- an early maturing, tangy tasting, flame-colored apple that has become a major part of local production.
New Zealand's influence will be felt even more with the hiring of Steve McArtney to succeed the retiring Dick Unrath at the N.C. Mountain Crops Research Station. Regional growers met him Thursday, when he spoke to the Southeastern Apple Growers meeting about the industry in his native land.
New Zealand's 35,094 acres of apple orchards are five times the acres in North Carolina, he said, but the average orchard size is about the same: 35 acres there, compared to 30 here. The major difference is that the former British colony exports 80 percent of its apple production, most of which is carried in refrigerated ships from four to six weeks to markets around the world.
Export requires quality
"It's a highly organized, complex marketing system that requires top-quality fruit harvested in a short time frame," McArtney said.
All of the export fruit was sold through the ENZA organization until two years ago, when deregulation allowed other companies to participate. ENZA still controls about 50 percent of production.
New Zealand growers have long realized the need to tailor their output to market demands, he said, and 90 percent of the producers have agreed to grow apples according to standards of their Integrated Fruit Production association.
IFP requires maximum use of pest management experts plus detailed records of fertilizing and spraying. The purpose is to minimize chemical residues and allow IFP to guarantee to international buyers what materials have been used in production.
From 1996 to 2003, IFP growers have reduced their use of organophosphates by 90 percent and fungicides by 18 percent, he reported.
Participation in the IFP regimen was started by offering growers a payment of 25 cents per carton, he said. Now, growers who don't comply fully are penalized 75 cents per carton to sell through the organization. The 10 percent of production not regulated by IFP is completely organic and even more acceptable in some markets, McArtney said.
The tight controls on quality have allowed New Zealand to compete successfully with export nations that can't offer the assurance, he said, especially in markets that are increasingly testy about storage limits and pesticide residues.
Licensing new types
A major new development in the New Zealand industry is the tight patent protection of new varieties. Previously, the plant breeders gave cuttings and trees freely to other producers throughout the world, McArtney said, but now the use of promising new varieties is carefully licensed by ENZA.
He cited the example of a variety named Pacific Rose, which is now being produced on a small acreage in the state of Washington. This apple is believed to fit the needs of Pacific Rim nations such as Japan, the speaker said. Production was licensed in Washington because the growing season there is about six months out of phase with New Zealand's season and the fruit should not compete in the same markets.
Some production of the new apple was started illegally in Chile, he said, but the acreage was destroyed soon after it was discovered.
"It's a new day for introducing varieties," McArtney said, "but tight control can be justified by the investment required to develop the new apple."

Background: Studies from several countries suggest women differ in their preferred length of nonbleeding intervals, yet studies to date have not explored the social determinants of such preferences. Method: We report results from a menstrual preference and social survey of 1207 healthy women in three age groups (18-20, 25-34 and 45-49 years) and two educational strata (high and low educational attainment), from Campinas (Brazil), Heidelberg (Germany) and Ann Arbor (USA) (similar to 400 women from each country). Results: Women's preferred length of nonbleeding intervals differed significantly between countries. In Ann Arbor, only 15.5% of women preferred to bleed monthly, vs. 30.2% in Heidelberg. In both Ann Arbor and Campinas, approximately one-third of women preferred to "never" have menses, compared to 8.2% in Heidelberg. Multivariate analyses indicated that country, church attendance, stress and menstrual pain were significant predictors of women's preferences. Conclusion: The most common preference among women was to bleed once every 3 months, but preferences varied substantially by country groups. Preferences for nonbleeding intervals were, in part, explained by personal experiences of stress or menstrual pain, but unexplained cultural differences persist between country groups.

About the Author
Jenny Nimmo lives in a converted watermill in Wales. Her husband, David, is a painter and print-maker, and all three of her children speak Welsh fluently. She finds Wales, a land of legends, a very inspiring place to live. For as long as she can remember, Jenny has loved books. She feels passionately that every child should have access to as many books as they want. Jenny enjoys writing about magic because it is inexplicable and unpredictable, and anything can happen. In 1986 her book, The Snow Spider, won the Smarties Grand Prix, and in 1987 it was awarded the Tirnan-Og by the Welsh Arts Council. The Rinaldi Ring was chosen as Guardian Book of the Week and was shortlisted for the Carnegie Medal and received a commendation.

I would recommend this book for everyone .... boys and girls children to adults. (easy reading)
This seems to be the last in the Charlie Bone "Children of the Red King" young adult fantasy series, and it was definitely a winner with all of the loose ends tied up nicely. Charlie's parents are still off on their second honeymoon, his friend Billy Raven has been captured by the evil enchanter Harken and trapped in Badlock, and Charlie must find a way to rescue him--and then discovers that his parents may be in danger as "Dagbert the Drowner's" father is in town, probably to do harm to the Bones by causing a disturbance in the sea.
Charlie and his friends are also looking for a box that holds the Red King's true will, which leaves his true heir (believed to be Billy Raven, NOT Ezekiel Bloor!) as the owner of Bloor's Academy as well as much other property and wealth. Charlie and his friends are fighting the evil heirs of the Red King with all their magic and might on several fronts, and are helped in the background by the Red Knight--a mysteries figure that no one knows the identity of. As all the different threads begin coming together towards an exciting conclusion, Charlie and his friends' lives are hanging in the balance.
Very well done, enjoyable end to this series, although the actual end itself was perhaps a bit rushed. I'm now going to have to seek out more books by this author, as she's got a couple of other series that were written before this one. Highly recommended, but do read these in order, or they won't make much sense.
This is a good series for kids that might not be ready for the deadly endings of Harry Potter. Characters were fun and had more interesting "endowments" than simply being wizards or wiches. I enjoyed Harry Potter and don't agree with complaints about this being a bad imitation. About the only thing they share is the good vs. bad theme. Note - they should be read in order.

Reviews by Michael Gray on
Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective is the best adventure game I've played all year (sorry, Back to the Future! I'll still play your second episode!). This should probably come as no surprise, as the game

Bacon and Mushroom Hash Brown Breakfast
Overnight Country Sausage and Hash Brown Casserole
Swiss Potato Casserole
Chipotle Rice Casserole
Cheesy Peas and Potato Casserole
Creamy Monterey Jack and mild chipotle chiles in smoky adobo sauce jazz up refrigerated hash browns.
Monterey Jack cheese was invented by David Jacks, a 19th century cheesemaker who lived near Monterey, California.
Try Cheddar or colby-Monterey Jack cheese in place of Monterey Jack.
These flavorful hash browns are perfect for brunch or supper. At brunch, serve them with scrambled eggs, sausage and fresh fruit. For supper, try them with sautéed chicken breasts or pork chops.

It HAS to be! I can't imagine how much worse this all can get. Daily murders. Not only murder, but how cold and callous do you have to be to just sit next to the bodies and play video games! We are SO screwed!!!! We have no future with this generation!

oh....trust me
it will get much worse
the Lord showed me in a few very disturbing dreams
not certain why...but
things will get so bad
in tribulation
no one will remember WHAT a Normal life was like
Anonymous Coward 31503468
Calm down Christians. We aren't in the end times. We know you want us to be but we aren't. How do you think people felt during the "dark ages"? They thought it was the endtimes then. Same with WW2. Same as you fools are doing now. The next generation will think so also.
Trust me, things aren't that bad. They can be so much worse.
The only endtimes I'm worrying about are the end times that Muslims, Jews, and Christians will try to bring about. There is no greater threat to the world right now then religious zealots trying to bring about the end times.

A graphite helix corrugated waveguide with a miter mirror has been fabricated and used for 135 GHz pyrometer measurements on a high temperature plasma arc furnace. The guide has an internal diameter of 3.81 cm, a length of 123 cm, and a corrugation of 32 grooves/inch. One end of the guide was sealed with a Teflon window having moth eye surfaces to reduce reflections. The room temperature insertion loss of this guide assembly for HE11 mode propagation and launch was measured to be 0.5±0.1 dB. It was used successfully in a high temperature environment where the miter mirror end reached incandescent temperatures in access of 1200°C. High temperature graphite surface corrosion typically increased the insertion loss to 1.2±0.2 dB but did not significantly affect the beam divergence
