Finding motivation to cook dinner during weeknights can be tough for many people. Many of us expend a lot of mental and/or physical energy all day at work, and arrive home with an empty tank. If you add one (or more) children into that scenario, especially if they are participating in evening activities, the challenge to cook a meal at home can seem unachievable at times.

Greatest Ireland memories: McAteer's goal rocks Landsdowne Road as Ireland clinch World Cup qualification
FOR the latest in our 16 special Irish football memories leading up to Euro 2016, we go back 15 years to the day that, until Shane Long's goal against Germany five months ago, was the last great Irish football occasion.
We speak of course of September 1, 2001 and the day Holland came to town for a crucial World Cup qualifier.
They were sent home beaten – thanks to an inspirational display from Roy Keane and Jason McAteer's fine goal that provided a wonderful Saturday afternoon of memories at the old Lansdowne Road.
It was not Louis van Gaal's finest hour, for the current Manchester United manager was then the Dutch boss.
As his team chased an equaliser to McAteer's goal, Van Gaal's substitutions meant he had five centre-forwards on the pitch – but nobody to give any of them a decent pass.
Instead Holland just whacked long balls in the direction of their strikers and the Irish centre-backs, Richard Dunne and Steve Staunton, whacked them back out.
Van Gaal should have sensed it would be a tough day when the tone for the game was set by a thumping Keane tackle on Marc Overmars just after the match kicked off.
It was 'Welcome to Dublin' writ large and the Dutch didn't like it.
They got involved in a series of incidents in the opening period that distracted them from the task of winning the game.
Which was what they had to do, for a draw was no use to the Dutch.
Holland got a break early in the second half when referee Helmut Krug dismissed Gary Kelly, giving the Leeds defender a second yellow card after a late tackle too many.
It should have been the signal for the visitors to crack on and win, and take pole position for a place at Japan/Korea 2002.
Instead it was Ireland who took the lead in the 68th minute.
Keane worked the ball down the left and, even though he was fouled in the process, got the ball across to substitute Steve Finnan.
He found McAteer in an ocean of space down the Irish left to convert the cross, showing excellent technique to dispatch the half-volley beyond Edwin van der Sar.
Lansdowne Road erupted before the team embarked on a very nervy 20 minutes.
The loudest alarm sounded when Irish keeper Shay Given appeared to make contact in the area with Ruud van Nistelrooy as the pair chased a loose ball.
But Krug waved play on and the more desperate the Dutch became, the closer Ireland edged to the win.
The World Cup journey was completed in the unlikely surroundings of Tehran as Ireland beat Iran 2-1 on aggregate in a November play-off to reach a third World Cup in their history.
IRELAND: Given; Kelly, Dunne, Staunton, Harte; McAteer, Roy Keane, Holland, Kilbane; Robbie Keane, Duff.
Subs: Finnan for Kilbane (60mins), Quinn for Duff (87mins), O'Brien for McAteer (90mins).

Infiniti Q45 Problems
RepairPal has identified the most common problems with the Infiniti Q45 based on complaints from actual vehicle owners. We'll tell you what the problem is and what it'll take to fix it.
The crankshaft angle sensor or the camshaft position sensor can fail and cause loss of engine power, an engine that cuts out, and other drivability problems. This will cause the Check Engine Light to illuminate. Certain models have been involved in a recall to replace the camshaft and crankshaft sensors. For more information on this recall, please click here»
Intermittent failure of a purge control valve in the evaporative emission system can cause the Check Engine Light to illuminate. A failed valve should be replaced to correct this problem.
It is not unusual for one or more of the Fuel injectors to fail. Common symptoms would be a rough idle and possible illumination of the Check Engine Light.
If the car drives well at cruise speed, but lacks power while accelerating, there may be a problem with the fuel pump.

Years of 'chronic pain force Calgary [Alberta, Canada] Bishop Fred Henry [who opposed LGBTQUEER school "guidelines"] to resign, replaced by Peterborough's McGrattan
[His successor replaced a similar type of bishop in 2014: Peterborough, Ontario, Bishop De Angelis, strong defender of life and faith, retires but was not as outspoken as his predecessor there. Also, the new bishop made some controversial comments and connections when he was the seminary rector in London, Ontario: Culture War Cluelessness Of The Canadian Hierarchy Needs To Be Addressed. Hat-tip to Canon212: "Catholic Calgary Bishop Fred Henry resigns early …, hoping for FrancisReplacement with more 'stamina'?!"]
January 4, 2017
OTTAWA (CCN) — The years of suffering from "severe chronic pain" have finally forced Calgary Bishop Fred Henry to give up his ministry.
Pope Francis accepted Bishop Henry's resignation for health reasons and named Peterborough Bishop William McGrattan as his replacement on Jan. 4
In Henry's resignation letter to the Pope, which he submitted in February of 2016, the 73-year-old bishop explained that he has been dealing with a painful auto immune disease that causes a form of arthritis affecting his spine.
"I can no longer turn my head sideways but must turn the whole upper body to look left or right," he wrote Pope Francis. "In addition, I can't really look up but have a permanent stoop and my feet are much more familiar to me than the sky."
The illness has also caused painful flare-ups of inflammation in other parts of his body, including his eyes, and reduced his lung capacity.
Henry wrote that he lived with "severe chronic pain." He his stepping down two years short of the mandatory retirement age of 75 set by Canon Law.
"My condition cannot be reversed," he told Francis. "I have jokingly said that 'pain is my best friend, we are always together' but it is wearing me out and limiting my ministry," he said.
"I believe that someone younger with more energy, stamina and pastoral vision should take over the role of Ordinary for the Diocese of Calgary," he wrote. "The needs of this ever-expanding diocese are enormous.
"I have given it my best and I am past my 'best due date' – it is time to retire," he wrote, proposing his retirement take place at the end of 2016.
The outspoken and controversial Bishop Henry led the Calgary diocese for 19 years. Though dubbed conservative and when it came to moral issues surrounding abortion, marriage and, most recently, in his opposition to gender theory and transgender guidelines for public schools, Bishop Henry also gained the ire of some conservatives for his support of social justice issues.
During the debate leading to the redefinition of marriage in 2005, Bishop Henry faced human rights complaints for a pastoral letter defending traditional marriage that also ran as a column in a local newspaper. Those complaints were later dropped after mediation. In 2004, he received phone calls from Revenue Canada that threatened his diocese's tax status for his defence of Catholic teaching in the public square.
In 2000, Bishop Henry clashed with Conrad Black, the then-owner of the Calgary Herald over a five-month strike at the newspaper. Bishop Henry urged him to negotiate with the workers. Black responded by calling him a "useful idiot," among other insults.
That same year, in the National Post, founded and then owned by Black, the late conservative publisher and columnist Ted Byfield wrote a column calling him "Red Freddy" and a "pinko bishop," insults that gained coverage in the New York Times. Christian leaders in Calgary rallied in support of Bishop Henry, calling the attacks "outrageous" and "unchristian."
Edmonton Archbishop Richard Smith said he was pleased for Bishop Henry's sake the Pope had accepted the resignation, he admitted feelings of "sadness and regret."
"As I heard another bishop put it, it feels like we've just lost from the team one of our most important players!" Smith wrote on his blog.
"Bishop Henry has served not only his Diocese but also the Church in Canada exceptionally well," Archbishop Smith said. "Of particular note is the outstanding contribution he has made in the field of Catholic education in both Alberta and across the country. I consider it a blessing and privilege to have worked closely with Bishop Henry, from whom I have learned a great deal."
Smith praised Henry's "courageous preaching of the Gospel."
"Where others might be tempted to stay silent for fear of criticism or loss of popularity, Bishop Henry has not hesitated to speak the truths of our faith whenever required, however difficult the circumstances might be," Smith wrote.
"Indeed, a shepherd who cares for the people entrusted to him cannot do otherwise, and I know that Bishop Henry cares very deeply indeed."
Born in London, Ont., in 1943, Henry was ordained a priest in the London diocese in 1968. In 1986, Saint Pope John Paul II named him Auxiliary Bishop of the London diocese.
In 1995, he was appointed Bishop of the Thunder Bay diocese. Three years later, in 1998, he was named to Calgary. The Calgary diocese has 67 parishes and missions serving a Catholic population of 435,328. It has 153 diocesan priests; 37 religious priests; 46 permanent deacons; 104 religious sisters and brothers, according to the Canadian Catholic Church Directory 2016.
McGrattan, 60, was also born in London and studied at St. Peter's Seminary there, where he earned a Master's of Divinity in conjunction with the University of Western Ontario.
Ordained to the priesthood in 1987, Bishop McGrattan studied in Rome at the Pontifical Gregorian University. After obtaining licentiate in 1992, he returned to the London diocese to take up several pastoral appointments.
1997, he became rector of St. Peter's Seminary, a position he held until he was named Auxiliary Bishop of Toronto in 2009.
McGrattan has been serving as Bishop of Peterborough since 2014. He will be installed as Bishop of Calgary on Feb. 27 at St. Mary's Cathedral.

With no place left to hide, John Rider is forced to flee to the World of the Avatar
Somewhere in Nepal.
The towering snowcapped Himalayan Mountains rose all around the small shack. A light snowfall drifted down as a man approached the hut with an armful of wood. The fur coat and hood covered most of his features as he entered the shack and placed the wood on the dying fire. With a quick thrust of his fist, a bolt of fire shot into the fireplace and sent sparks up the chimney. Lowering his hood and taking off his gloves, he breathed into his cupped hands, allowing fire to shoot out between his fingers and dissipate.
The Firebender was young, only seventeen or eighteen years of age judging by his facial features. But his eyes were stone, and his body had several scars on it, both obvious signs of a hard past. Picking up a bowl of now frozen soup, he exhaled slowly and closed his eyes. The ice quickly melted and soon the soup had steam rolling off of it. Sitting down and glancing to the table, his eye caught the sight of two pictures. One depicted his father: Lee, and his mother, Isabella.
Lee had been the leader of this world's version of the Order of the White Lotus, The Gunslingers, and with his hard work and training he had brought the Order back from the edge of extinction. Isabella on the other hand was this world's Avatar. Her actions, intertwined with Lee's, had managed to put the world on a path to recovery after a long and devastating war.
The other picture depicted him and Lee while he had earned his guns. He could still feel his mother's hand on his shoulder as he father presented him with the twin firearms. Those were good times then. He remembered sitting in his living room while his father recounted the tale of how he had journeyed to another world. A world filled with strange creatures, a world filled mystery and ancient energy, and more importantly, a world where benders were free to use their gift in everyday life.
He had believed these tales to something his father created to keep him entertained, like a bedtime story. Until he went on a trip with Lee to this other world. There he encountered all of his father's old friends, seen an example of the strange wildlife, and used his Firebending freely for the first time. This was in the innocent time before he had earned his guns. But the trip's end came all too soon, and he was forced to return to this world.
His father had promised him another trip to that fantastic world, but life has a way of ending plans really fast. Isabella fell sick and died in childbirth, leaving him motherless and without a sibling. Two years later, his father set out to fulfill his duty and locate the next Avatar, but he was ambushed and cut down along a small road in Italy. And if things didn't seem bad enough, the new leader of the Gunslingers soon branded him a traitor.
The Order didn't except traitors, whether guilty of the charge or not. That was why he was here now, hiding from one world's deadliest organizations. They would find him soon; he had no doubt of that. It all just depended on how long it took for them to get there. With a sigh, he dipped the spoon into the bowl again and slowly swallowed the soup, savoring its warming taste.
The door suddenly burst open and a cloud of snowflakes rolled in, accompanied by quickness of seven heavily armed men in white camouflage. He didn't jump, or so much as panic. He simply lowered the bowl and let out a loud belch before he acknowledged the men's existence.
"Hello boys," he said simply, looking from one to the other. He couldn't see their eyes, as tinted goggles covered them.
"John Rider?" asked one of men. John rolled his eyes.
"Christ Leon, save me the theatrics. We both know what's going to happen next," he said. The man who had spoken stepped forward, lowered his mask, and raised his goggles.
"I know, but it would nice to avoid violence for once," said Leon. John rolled his eyes again.
"I'm not an Airbender, Leon. I don't try to avoid violence." Leon sighed and turned away.
"If you can make it out of here alive, we'll talk," he said over his shoulder before he walked outside. The remaining six raised their assault rifles and took aim.
"All right boys, lets play," said John before he sprang out of his chair. Automatic gunfire tore up the wall behind him as he dove to the side, meeting nothing but air. Then his guns appeared in his hands, both of them blazed repeatedly, cutting down one after the other. In less than thirty seconds, all six of the attackers lay dead on the floor.
Thumbing both Colt 1911s, he allowed the clips to fall to the floor before he reloaded the guns and holstered them in the cross draw shoulder holsters under his arms. With a sigh, he picked up the two pictures and placed them in his pack before he walked out the door.
"I thought so," said Leon as he flicked a lit cigarette away into the light snowfall.
"So what do you want to talk about?" asked John. Leon sighed, expelling a mixture of smoke and steam from his nostrils.
"I've always been on yours and your father's side, you know that," he said.
"But you're not above the Grandmaster's command," John finished for him. Leon lifted a finger, a motion for him to finish.
"Yes, I am not above the Grandmaster's command. But that doesn't mean I have to obey his orders to the fullest extent," he said. John cocked his eyebrow.
"What are you talking about?" Leon sighed and looked up into the clouds.
"There's no place on this Earth that's safe for you anymore, John. If I found you here then the Grandmaster can find you anywhere. So my suggestion is not being on this Earth anymore," he said as he held up a circular device. Three metal arms sprang out on the sides.
"Where did you get this?" breathed John in shock, not quite believing his eyes.
"You think your father was alone that day in Italy? He gave it to me and told me to pass it on to you before he passed," said Leon as he handed the device to John, who took it with a since of reverence.
"I've arranged for a drone to do a flyby. Any remaining evidence that says your still alive will be gone in about five minutes," Leon added.
"How long am I going to have to be gone? John asked. Leon shrugged slightly.
"I don't know. At least until this guy is gone and sleeping happily with the worms."
"Do me a favor and make sure that I don't stay gone until I'm old and decrepit." Leon rolled his eyes and stuck out his hand. John sighed and shook Leon's hand.
"You're a good friend to me Leon," he said.
"Take care of yourself John," came the reply. John took a few steps back and activated the device. With a flash of green light and a puff of snow, John vanished into thin air. With a sigh, Leon lit another cigarette as he watched the shack splinter into a million pieces and the unmanned drone vanish into the clouds.

This was an interesting article revealing a bit of infighting among physicists wrt string theory.
IMHO, it points to an ideological difference which would stem from the priority given to pure mathematics in physics. Indeed we've seen similar disputes here on the forum between those of us who center on the mathematics (information theory, complexity, etc.) related to evolution and those who center on the sciences (biology, chemistry, genetics, paleontology) .
It is a philosophical difference which I believe we would all benefit from exploring.
Personally, I fall on the math first side of the debate I put mathematics above all sciences - and physics at the top of the science heap because of its integration with the mathematics.
My reasoning is that mathematical structures are universals per se and thus their discovery sheds light on all the sciences. As an example I assert Einsteins ability to pull Riemannian geometry off-the-shelf to describe relativity. Other examples include dualities and mirror images - the "unreasonable effectiveness of math".
An example related the subject of this article - some string theorists like Vafa (my personal favorite) treat the physical ramifications of their work as secondary, e.g. he was not troubled by the consequence of an additional time dimension in f-Theory though it caused quite a stir in the physics community at large. IOW, good mathematics may not be widely accepted or have an application at the moment, but will remain "on the shelf" - because they are universals, which may be relevant at some other opportunity.
Additionally, even if physicists were not pursing a "theory of everything" - the mathematicians would. As an example, here's a link to Jurgen Schmidhuber's Algorithmic Theory of Everything.
Id love to hear any arguments for why mathematics should not be given a higher seat in our body of knowledge than science!
One last point - I do agree with everyone here who instinctively believe that mathematical truths ought to be conceptually simple. The Kaluza-Klein based compactified string theories are not without competition, e.g. the easy to comprehend non-compactified 5D higher dimensional dynamics.

Das Haus Der Geheimen Luste
Duration: 74min 03sec Views: 40 160 Submitted: 2 years ago Submitted by:
Description: A very well-produced German feature, Legend Passions (1979) follows the patriarch winner of a morality award as the hypocrisy of his award unravels around him with unending sex. Fantastic Victorian-era costuming and mansion setting add to the flavour. Quite frankly, there's so much fucking and sucking going on here through interweaving story lines it's hard to pinpoint any one standout, though the four-way between the neighbouring worker and the three daughters is a girl-on-girl-on-guy gruff sweaty number that pleases. Maids are fucked by masters, wives are fucked by doctors, the son is turned out as a prostitute as grandma watches, old fathers diddle their daughters' snatches, and the daughter fucks the journalist trying to document it all.

The prospect of a lockout naturally has some NFL players contemplating alternative careers to get them through the year. And Minnesota Vikings defensive end Ray Edwards probably is taking the most realistic approach, saying he'll move into the world of pro boxing if it looks like the 2011 season will be delayed.
"Then I'll probably fight (at) the beginning of April," Edwards told the St. Paul Pioneer Press. "I'll start my own promotional company."
But wouldn't pro wrestling be an even more natural gig for out-of-work NFL players? They could play the hero's role in their hometowns, and be the villain in the cities of their divisional rivals. And best of all, with all the fakery and prat falls, they wouldn't have to take the kind of beatings they get while working the trenches on NFL Sundays.
Ray Lewis has a persona that's tailor-made for WWE. Plus, Lewis is the real deal, having won a Florida state wrestling championship in high school. As Lewis once said, "Wrestling is still one of the reasons why I swivel my hips. It's been everything for me."
How about Albert Haynesworth? His ring name could be "Road Rage."
Jared Allen could bull-rush his opponents. Troy Polamalu's tresses could dance in the air as he comes flying off the top rope. Likewise for Clay Matthews III.
James Harrison could take out some of that anger for all the fines his big hits drew. Brian Urlacher is another obvious choice. And wouldn't it be interesting to see whether wrestling fan Ben Roethlisberger could survive on the mat without protection from his offensive line?
Who would you pick?
Now then, here's what else is on my lunchtime plate:
. . . Tonya Harding is expecting her first child. And when that kid goes to day care the other moms should be warned to get their children knee pads.
. . . Random thought about all the uproar over Tiger Woods spitting on the golf course Sunday: If baseball suspended players for spitting the game would be out of business in 24 hours.
. . . Carolina Panthers owner Jerry Richardson apparently went out of his way to express animosity toward NFL players during a failed negotiating session. It's hard to believe Richardson is the only owner who's a former NFL player. But it's easy to understand what a bad mood he's in, given that he fielded a 2-14 team last season that made the Detroit Lions look like a dynasty.
. . . The latest holdup in the Barry Bonds perjury trial is over whether a former mistress should be allowed to testify that she believes the slugger's testicles shrank because of steroid use. Anyone else thinking that the government needs to make its case without diving between the bedroom sheets?
. . . Furman's basketball team is having a good season, with an 18-7 record that includes going 10-1 at home. But now that fans are being given all the hots dogs, hamburgers and pizza they want -- for free -- it may not be long before the bleachers start sagging.
. . . Shoutout to reader USA Troll for the comment on the photo we ran from the SI Swimsuit Issue: "A one piece? Did USA Today put up a picture from a 70s issue?" Sorry, guys, but we're at the mercy of what SI gives us on this one.
. . . Kind of ironic that Nate Montana, son of Joe, will honor the family name and then some by transferring from Notre Dame to the University of Montana. Good thing he's not the son of Warren Moon.

A club or open water is a very good school for a beginner to commence his salmon-fisbing education. The spots where we had been baiting were getting clearer and clearer and the weed was almost non-existent where it had been uprooted by the feeding carp. Louis Vuitton Accessories Outlet. Almost every salmon we caught, however, had sea lice upon him, and the fish which were said to be tired of seeing the Shannon flies were in all probability in the sea at the time. Louis Vuitton Totally GM Replica. The result agreeably rurprised me, for I found that my legs were gently buoyed up in a horizontal position near the surface of tne water, while my head was well above it, and I could use my ams freely in swimming. Louis Vuitton Accessories Outlet. It may be that the colour of the fly is not suitable to the state of the sky, or that it is too easily seen, and has made the fish somewhat shy. Louis Vuitton Buenos Aires Outlet. As a general rule, the limit of his taste in this respect does not exceed baits of three or perhaps four inches. Louis Vuitton Accessories Outlet. Because Ultimate contains so many strong tasting ingredients, fish are enticed to move in from range, even in winter.

text: No recent wiki edits to this page. Depth Charge was a member of a group called the Outcasts that lived life outside of society's rule. This group of mercenaries was reckless, crazy and would enjoy a drink and a bar room brawl anytime of the day or night. The other members included Flagstone, Cleft and Puck before he joined Alpha Flight. Puck eventually left the group after Heather Hudson freed him from jail and eventually become a member of Alpha Flight. Cleft attracts the attention of his old friend Puck and Alpha Flight when he goes ballistic in a bar after watching a report on television about Hagon's Bill that enforces the registration of all paranormals residing in Canada. Cleft is confronted by Puck, Northstar and Wildheart when Depth Charge and Flagstone join the party. Wildheart and Puck are knocked to the ground when Depth Charge strikes the ground with tremendous force to create a small seismic wave. Depth Charge goes toe to toe with Puck but is eventually defeated when he gets kicked in the back of the head. Flagstone and Cleft are also defeated and all three men are apprehended and placed into custody. CreationDepth Charge was created by Simon Furman and Barry Kitson in 1993 and first appeared in Alpha Flight # 122.Powers & AbilitiesDepth Charge has superhuman strength, durability and resistance to injury. Depth Charge is formidable in hand-to-hand combat due to some training he received from Puck.

SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) The San Jose Sharks just won't go away — and now they're going back to Dallas.
Joe Pavelski scored 65 seconds into overtime and the Sharks evaded playoff elimination for the second straight game Friday night, improbably rallying from a late two-goal deficit to beat the Dallas Stars 3-2 in Game 5.
Brian Campbell scored the tying goal midway through the third period for the Sharks, who moved halfway to history by cutting the Stars' lead in the second-round series to 3-2. Dallas won the first three contests, including two overtime victories, but the clubs are headed back to Texas for Game 6 Sunday night after the Sharks' latest escape.
GAME REPORT: Sharks 3, Stars 2 (OT)
PHOTO GALLERY: Follow the action from the playoffs
San Jose is just the fourth team in the last 20 seasons to stretch a series even to six games after trailing 0-3. As Sharks coach Ron Wilson has reminded his players, only two teams in NHL history have recovered from such dire circumstances to win a series: the Toronto Maple Leafs in 1942 and the New York Islanders in 1975.
Jere Lehtinen and captain Brenden Morrow scored second-period goals for the Stars, who controlled play and seemed headed for an easy evening at the Shark Tank, where they dominated the home team over the last two years. Morrow also had two apparent goals that were waved off by the officials, one for kicking the puck into the net and another for batting it with his hand.
The second-seeded Sharks, whose inconsistent brilliance has defined the NHL's second-best regular season, appeared listless before Milan Michalek and Campbell scored in a 5:47 span in the third period, with Campbell firing home the tying goal with 8:53 to play on an exceptional pass from Jeremy Roenick.
Pavelski ended it before some fans had even settled in their seats for overtime, dangling in the slot and beating Turco for an unassisted goal.
Evgeni Nabokov stopped 24 shots for the Sharks, and Marty Turco made 19 saves in yet another playoff game to forget. Turco was working on a shutout before he and his defense allowed three goals in less than 15 minutes.
After holding off the defending champion Ducks in the first round, Dallas opened the second round with back-to-back victories at the Shark Tank, where the Stars were 8-0-1 in their last nine appearances before blowing Game 5. San Jose staved off elimination with a 2-1 victory in Game 4 in Dallas, the third of four one-goal games in this scintillating series.
Lehtinen got Game 5's first goal midway through the second period on a setup pass from Sergei Zubov for his fourth goal of the postseason. After Mike Modano rang a shot off the post moments later, Morrow appeared to score when he forced defenseman Matt Carle into Nabokov's crease and the puck deflected off them.
Replay officials ruled Morrow had scored with his skate, infuriating the Dallas bench — but Morrow then left no doubt with a low wrist shot through Nabokov in the final minute of the second period.
Morrow put the puck in the net again during a power play early in the third, but the on-ice officials ruled he had knocked it in with his hand. The call was upheld by video review.
The Sharks had few scoring chances until Michalek scored his fourth goal of the series on a pass from Joe Thornton, who has just three points in the five-game series.
Then Campbell, a disappointment in the playoffs after an outstanding effort late in the regular season, got a clever pass from Roenick and beat Turco cleanly to the glove side with a laser-quick shot.
Notes: Sharks D Kyle McLaren is still out with a groin injury, and Dallas F Stu Barnes missed his second straight game with a head injury. McLaren and Dallas D Philippe Boucher missed the entire series. ... After Morrow's goal was waved off, he put a white towel on the end of his stick in hockey's famed gesture of mock surrender. Veteran coach Roger Neilson is credited with starting the white-towel gesture when he didn't like the officiating in a 1982 playoff game while he coached the Vancouver Canucks.

Do you believe in luck? Are the random occurrences in life attributable to some unknown higher power? What do you think? A mathematician might try to explain it that way in a very cold and rigid manner, however, people aren't math equations to be solved. There are forces at work that are unseen and oftentimes unknowable. I believe luck falls into the latter category. We make our own luck with persistence and a positive attitude. If you find yourself in need of a cosmic luck boost, try bringing some Tiger's Eye along, like if you're taking a trip to Las Vegas.
Keep Tiger's Eye as a stone of luck and good fortune to attract a steady flow of money to the home. It is ideal for entrepreneurs and those setting out in business for the first time; also for those building up skills and a knowledge base for major career changes in the future. Tiger's Eye warns against complacency and emboldens one to "step out of the box" in order to grow and challenge one's artistic and creative talents, physical abilities and trying something new. Use as a support stone for determination and to overcome fear during exams, competitions, public performances, selling one's creations in the market place, or presenting ideas in important meetings.
Wear or carry Tiger's Eye for increasing insight and perception in unfamiliar places or circumstances, and for protection from the negative intentions of others. Tiger's Eye sharpens the senses, helping one pay attention to details and prepare for positive action. It reflects an overview of situations and assists when things are happening too fast. It is one of the best aids for resolving a crisis, and provides perfect support when one is afraid of making a wrong decision. Use for quick thinking, sizing up someone's character, and for realizing the consequences of one's own actions.

Length approx 4cm or 2.5inch

Ackee Jamaican National Dish
Jamaican cuisine is thought to be healthy because it is made with many unprocessed foods, uses smaller portions of meats, has a high content of fish, beans, and vegetables, and, most of all, because it is an eclectic mix of the best that African, European, Indian, and Chinese cuisines have to offer. Moreover, Jamaicans have always been aware of the relationship between food and health. How else can anyone explain why some of the most highly rated medicinal herbs, e.g., ginger, garlic, all spice and hot peppers just happen to be the basic seasonings used.

I can say that all the collets with this machine have been carelessly handled in the past, people have not taken the care necessary to fit them into the key inside the mandrel bore properly, resulting in some quite severe bruising. I have with the aid of engineers blue and a very fine Swiss file removed the high spots and cleaned up the keyway.
By this action the internal key of the donor lathe has been almost worn away, fortunately the one on my machine is not afflicted in this way, so they fit well.
The Female step chucks below
have come up extremely well. As you can see so has the spindle nose adaptor, the collets are not so easily wrecked as the next ones.....
I have to apologize for this photo, I just could not get close enough to show how bad this was without loosing clarity. The Male step collets are all too easily ruined. All of these were to all intents and purposes fit for the bin, but because they are so rare, the challenge had to be taken, after all nothing to loose but time, and everything to gain if I won. In the above photo you can easily see how this collet has been badly strained, the gap is wide on the left and touching on the right, what is not so easy to see is that each of the three sections were also twisted, looking at the photo again the edge of the top portion is about 20 thou overlapping the edge of the bottom section. This is how I fixed them, unbelievable, maybe, I surprised myself on this occasion.
I turned up this holder or former, it is reamed to a snug fit for the shank of the collets which will ensure that no matter what I do to the head of the collet nothing will change on the shank. The nose is an exact replica of the internal of the collet inside the bored section, the collet being radiused and flared out at its end. To get this exact I finally hand scraped the internal using blue. The OD though is a little smaller than the internals of the collet, the length being about 30 thou short, hence the two brass shim washers. These were found to be necessary as the collets are not all exactly the same, there's a surprise. The nut is to pull the collet in.
This shows one collet bolted up, there is on this one a single brass shim. Something else was needed, the hole through the centre must be kept open, but each collet has a slightly different bore, so I used number drills to find the right sizing. I must add at this point, the need for feeler gauges. As one of these is fitted and slowly pulled in, you need to run a feeler gauge through each slot several times, to remove scale and muck, and keep doing it until nothing comes out, or you wont get the three gaps to close centrally. One other thing not shown that was done, was to monitor the gaps as I pulled the collet down, every time a gap looked wider than the others I gave it a wallop with a rubber mallet.
You can see here that having pulled the collet into the former, and indeed the nose of the collet has closed that the tail end where it has been forced in the past is still open, well what better a way to contract three leaves than with a three jaw chuck, this was then squashed until the gaps closed, as the collet pulled ever closer to the end of the former I slackened the nut on top a little. Yes it did leave some marks on the first step of the chuck, but it will get skimmed later. The drill bit is still in place below, keeping that end locked centrally.
The above photo needs to be viewed in conjunction with the one below as well. Here you can see my method of stressing the collet the opposite way to which it had been forced in the past and every time this was done it tried to make itself more central.
The view from the other side, by holding the very end closed and using the lathe I can reverse the process that I was doing on the former, some lube oil helped the process of course.
Well like I said at the outset, I surprised myself, they are mostly within within 3 thou, one is four thou, and that is in both plains, I also check the bore by running the clock on a number drill, but this is dubious at best as you cannot contract the end of one of these collets, but even that test was reasonable about five thou error. So when the Lorch is running, it will just be a case of skimming three to four thou off each step on five collets.
It sure beats throwing them away, and where can you get some more anyway. I truly hope this method may be of use to someone else. Needless to say this wasn't a single operation two of these collets were so bad that they flitted back and forth between the lathe and the former several times, each time the stresses were pulled more central by the process, neat trick huh.

By Amir Mir
Granit Xhaka was named in the starting XI as Arsenal take on Tottenham at the Emirates on Sunday afternoon – and fans on Twitter were worried he might get sent off again.
The 24-year-old makes his league return after serving a three-match suspension for receiving a straight red against Swansea in October.
Arsene Wenger expressed his concern about his discipline leading into the feisty north London fixture, with Xhaka picking up a yellow card during the 3-2 Champions League win over Ludogorets on Tuesday night.
Nonetheless, one fan pointed out that the Switzerland intentional is making his debut in the north London derby, alongside Shkodran Mustafi.
But many feared Xhaka may see red in this game, if not his defensive-midfield partner Francis Coquelin, who is also known for his combative style of play.
Here is a selection of their messages on Twitter:
First North London Derby for Shkodran Mustafi & Granit Xhaka ⚽???
— Nat (@NatG_22) November 6, 2016
Dier and Wanyama against Coquelin and Xhaka is going to result in at least 1 red card
— Mr Ä.F.C (@adamclarke96) November 6, 2016
@Arsenal Xhaka Coq guaranteed red card LOL
— v (@JustAlexisFC) November 6, 2016
I can feel the Granit Xhaka screamer, don't know why
— Naomi (@NaosGun) November 6, 2016
@Actually_Inam XHAKA TO SCORE THE CRACKER
— Mr. Proton (@Shariqano) November 6, 2016
@Arsenal XHAKAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
— Titi (@Hass_AFC) November 6, 2016
Big risk playing Xhaka and Coquelin imo, expecting a great game though.
— Jordan Sayward-jones (@jsaywardjones) November 6, 2016
Xhaka has played 11 Premier League, Champions League and EFL Cup fixtures this season scoring three goals, but he is yet to provide an assist.
A win for Arsenal would take them top of the Premier League table on 26 points, but a victory for Spurs would mean they would go level with the Gunners going into the international break.
In other Arsenal team news, supporters on Twitter were pleased to see Mesut Ozil starting against Tottenham.

Drunk Dialing (technological phenomenon)
- a phenomenon unique to the era of mobile and push-button, auto-dialing phones, whereby a person can operate a phone in any place and under any blood-alcohol level, such as unconscious and in a gutter. The person in question is even able to accidentally dial the device in question contacting anyone whose number has been pre-programmed into their phone. The recipient of such a call can then enjoy the sounds emanating from the caller's pocket.
- when the caller is drunk, but fully aware who he's calling. However, if he were sober, would regret making the call due to the circumstances between the two parties involved. These types of calls may be followed by a second call by the maker of the first to apologize for the initial call, or, by the recipient of the first caller's lawyer insisting no more calls be made to the party who received the initial call.
The Best Dial you Will Ever DrunkEdit
Canada's Phone Number (Dial now if you're drunk and/or sober!):
Call them and pull the following prank call: YOU: Your cat is on my fence. CANADA: I don't have a cat. YOU: Well, I don't have a fence.
Then hang up. Let's get the entire nation prank calling Canada until it gets a cat!

text: RT Book, Whole DB /z-wcorg/ DS http://worldcat.org ID 33105086 LA English T1 Seamus Heaney : the shaping spirit A1 Malloy, Catharine,, Carey, Phyllis., PB University of Delaware Press PP Newark YR 1996 SN 0874135818 9780874135817 AB This collection of current, critical essays explores Irish poet Seamus Heaney's aesthetic consciousness as it fuses a variety of discourses into revelatory poetic texts. The collection differs from previous volumes in that its essays, while offering a wide variety of approaches, all concern themselves with the central critical issue of Heaney's artistic "shaping." Arranged loosely in a chronological pattern corresponding to Heaney's poetic career, the essays offer insights into concerns ranging from Heaney's reshaping of the mythological, to his use of individual images, to the influence of such "mentors" as Dante and Joyce, to Heaney's attempts to shape the numinous, to his unique rendering of the words of others through translation.

Posted by Tiffany
During our visit he helped me understand more about what to expect in a child custody case. He told me the positive and negative things to expect. I would highly recommend Brian to anyone!
Posted by Jennifer
Brian had handled multiple issues for myself and my husband. He is extremely well-versed in many different areas of the law.

Brian Boal helped me navigate the waters of incorporation. When one business partner turned out to be less than trustworthy, Brian made sure my interests were protected. Thanks Brian...I highly recommend this practice!

I have relied on Brian for both personal and business matters and he has been outstanding in all cases. He has been efficient, straight forward, and achieved the desired result in each case; I recommend him highly.

Yes this Lawyer is the right one. I had a state issue that I just couldn't handle my self. I spoke ahead to try to work with the State and they read between the lines and wanted me to admit to a crime. Brian got to get them to say they were wrong and get the issue addressed and I am still in business. The rate was affordable and he didn't charge for every second of his time. For the piece of mind he even said I am not charging for this time "small talk". Made me feel good that his office has give and take. I feel he wants to make long lasting clients. He has also spoken with friends and family. What I really like about him is he has been on both sides of the law. I am a paralegal and some attorneys are hard to talk to. But Brian is easy and don't make you need to rush.

Brian Boal of Boal Law Firm, PC. has been of great help to me a couple of times. I was almost in panic mode before speaking to him because I didn't know what to do. My Boal's advise was perfect and put my mind at ease. He provided me with options and solutions I didn't even think of and everything worked out great. Without his help I might have easily made some bad decisions.

Even though we live in time of a flawed "justice" system, there was one attorney, Brian Boal, who was able to see through the muck and mess and deliver positive results in my case. Brian's passion for obtaining fair and reasonable results, exemplifies what a true professional in law should be. As a Veteran, I was impressed and thankful for the patriotic stance he took through the process. As most people are unaware all that the law entails, I myself needed a lot of explanation of what was happening. Brian not only took the time to explain, he never left me with doubts of what was going on or what the end results might be. I was always given options on how we should proceed and was 100% integrated in the process.
"Thanks Brian, your a true professional!"

Nestled amongst China and India, Nepal is a landlocked gem. Though small, it offers rich pickings for adventure lovers and those wanting to experience culture in abundance.
The first destination on our trip around South – East Asia, Nepal is an enchanting place full of mystery and legend, mesmerising mountains and breathtaking landscapes. Starting our month-long trip in Kathmandu, we spent several days getting lost in the labyrinth of bazaars in Thamel whilst we prepared for our two-week trek around the Annapurna Circuit. The trek ended in Pokhara where we spent a few days celebrating the ascent to Throng La pass in the many bars frequented by trekkers and where we rested our weary feet amidst the serenity of Lake Phewa. Finally we took a trip to Chitwan National Park to experience a bit of nature ending the trip back in Kathmandu for a further few days before we moved on to our next destination – Thailand.
For us Nepal was a special place. It threw everything at us with no apologies! It was the kind of place where just being there was an experience. The people both fascinating in their religious and ethnic diversity, stole our hearts with their humour and generosity leaving us heartbroken the moment we left. (Yes there were a few tears from me)! From Stupas to Sherpas, trekkers to temples and myths to mantras, Nepal was everything we imagined it to be and more. It was both awe-inspiring and magical.
Here are the highlights of our journey through Nepal with the most memorable being of course the Annapurna Circuit.
Kathmandu – A Hidden Treasure
Nepal's sprawling capital Kathmandu drags you kicking and screaming into its black hole of chaos, raw charm and edgy unpredictability. Before you know it you are sucked into a world of noise so incessant that within a few days you wonder how long it will take before the chaos starts to grate you. Cars, motorbikes and people play "chicken" – narrowly avoiding collisions every second. Swerving and dodging, in and out – brushing past death. Enthusiastic street hawkers sell you anything from fruit to marijuana and as you squeeze through narrow dimly lit streets, you hear the faint whisper of "you want something"? Whilst you figure out what that something is, your senses are being attacked from all sides. Wafts of air perfumed by incense mingle with the aromas of street food – savoury, spicy and fragrant. Smells that evoke memories – a feeling of deja vu. Then suddenly, you are awakened from your reverie by a passing truck that belches out toxic black smoke. As days pass your lungs will seriously object to the pollution and dust that constantly hangs in the air! As you stand still for a moment amidst the swarm of people, trying to silence your mind – you know you have arrived at a place that will challenge you at every level.
In total we spent just over a ten days in Kathmandu. Too long you may say – but it gave us time to peel back the layers of this city and uncover a treasure trove of undiscovered experiences. November was a particularly interesting time as Nepal braced itself for a general election. We witnessed people take to the streets to voice their opinions and watched as regular bandhs (strikes) disrupted public transport. We listened as the locals shared their stories of how life really was in a country that suffers so much political unrest. We learned about the cultural and social differences of the people, as individuals and as distinct races. We learned about what brought them together. We were invited to homes and inspired by those who gave their time and compassion to help the many homeless street children in Kathmandu. Our time was spent catching up with friends over plates of steaming Momo's (Nepalese dumplings), sharing stories with fellow trekkers over beers at Sam's Bar and just soaking up the atmosphere in the maze of streets and alleyways.
Tihar – the Festival of Light
This five-day festival – also known as Deepawali or Diwali, signifies the victory of light over darkness and good over evil. It's celebrated all over Nepal. Kathmandu was transformed into a dazzling city of colour and celebration, temporarily distracting everyone from the political atmosphere that had dominated conversations. We saw reverence shown not only to the Gods but also to animals – namely the crow, cow and dog. We'll never forget walking the streets of Thamel seeing dogs with garlands around their necks and tikas on their heads! Tihar ended on the fifth day when sisters blessed their brothers with tika and in return received gifts or money. Homes and shops were decorated with fresh marigolds, whilst candlelit pathways allowed Laxshmi the Goddess of Wealth to enter – blessing those within for the coming year. Colourful rangoli's (decorative bright coloured designs) and diyas (oil lamps) adorned paths and all around young boys and girls danced in the street and sang Deusi and Bhailo – traditional songs sung at this time in return for blessings and food.
Discovering the spiritual side of Kathmandu
One way we escaped the craziness of Kathmandu was to visit the many sacred temples, pagodas and stupas. Stepping into a world of peaceful courtyards, ancient architecture and hidden history was a welcome respite. We visited the Boudhanath Stupa (the holiest Buddhist temple outside of Tibet), spending a few hours – under the gaze of the Buddha, to spin prayer wheels, watch Tibetan Monks go about their duties and admire the Stupas symbolic construction. We also visited Swayambunath Temple (Monkey temple) – perched atop a hill that allowed us a great view of Kathmandu. One of Nepals' oldest Buddhist temples, founded around 2000 years ago.
A glimpse into the past – the ancient town of Bhaktapur
Once the capital of Nepal, this ancient Newari town is the third largest in the Kathmandu valley. The home of traditional art and numerous historical monuments, it houses Durbar Square – a complex of temples grouped around a palace of fifty-five windows. Here you can see Nepalese architecture at its best with its distinctive pagodas and intricate carvings. We walked for hours discovering hidden worlds that lay below the surface, – veiled by the ornate temples. Snaking through the maze of narrow alleyways, we would come across a treasure trove of religious sculptures surrounded by homes hidden behind carved ancient doorways. We meandered through temples stopping for a cool drink in the many snack shops where the calm and warmth of the locals was a welcome break from the frantic activity of Thamel.
Pokhara – The Perfect Trekkers Retreat
Over the years Pokhara has established itself as an adventure playground, where backpackers mingle with trekkers celebrating their Himalayan ascents in the many bars that line the main strip in the town. Adrenaline junkies can get their fix from microlight flights to white water rafting, whilst the more chilled out amongst us can opt for a more sedate massage or yoga session. Nestled amongst this hive of activity is a calm oasis known as Phewa Tal – the second largest lake in Nepal. For us it was the Jewel in the Crown! A place of serenity to rest after our Annapurna trek and look up to the sky where on clear days we could see the Annapurna range once again – reflected in the emerald waters of the lake. Surrounded by the lush forests, the laid back atmosphere and many restaurants made for a perfect place to unwind.

While M-town is often seen as a film industry completely singing, dancing and filled with family drama, the filmmakers today are taking a risk to experiment with new genres which are quite usual in the Bollywood films. Director by Shankh Rajyadhyaksha has made a commendable effort to make a complete suspense thriller that can send shivers down your spine!
The fast-paced and chilling story of the film revolves around Kaavya and Yash Dixit and their daughter Reva. A young and happy couple with blooming careers - the Dixits get into a serious problem because of their house help/baby sitter Asha who had been recently hired to take care of Reva is found dead in their home. Since all the evidences point against Yash, he gets arrested and their perfect family life gets totally disturbed.
What is the real truth behind the mystery? Is Yash really innocent which he claims or is there more to it? Has Yash misbehaved with Asha and lust is a hidden cause? Were Yash and Kaavya really a happy couple or was it a false portray?
What had exactly happened? How this mystery gets solved… has managed to create the suspense in the journey of emotions, relationships, excitement and twists-turns, compelling one question 'If we should really believe what we see?'
While the film lets you experience those moments with some fantastic scenes, it will definitely thrill you visually while making you feel the pain of the stress trapped in a crime. With a new team of star cast including Gauri Nigudkar, Pallavi Patil, Vijay Andalkar, Jaywant Wadkar, Shrirang Deshmukh, Ruchi Jail and Vikram Gokhale in prominent roles, everyone managed to deliver decent and remarkable performances.
On the whole,'702 Dixit's' has all the right ingredients to be a memorable film and rise above mediocre, owing to well-balanced background score that blend well with the film that will definitely be a good watch for the weekend.

GLENDALE , Ariz. -- Jake Peavy has a Cy Young Award on his résumé. Mark Buehrle is the proud author of a no-hitter plus a perfect game.
The two veterans have a combined six All-Star Game appearances and a 230-155 record in the major leagues, and will earn an aggregate $29 million for the Chicago White Sox this season. For what it's worth, they're also fan-friendly, popular in the clubhouse and eminently quotable.
Against that daunting backdrop, lefty John Danks and righty Gavin Floyd have every reason to feel overlooked as the Nos. 3 and 4 starters in the Chicago rotation. After combining for 53 wins the past two seasons, they're generating less attention than manager Ozzie Guillen's Twitter account.
Not that they care. In the big picture, there are a lot worse things than being young, talented, on the rise and under the radar.
"Jake and Mark truly deserve all the attention they get," Danks said. "That said, Gavin and I know we are a big part of this rotation. If we don't go out there and do our jobs, it doesn't matter how good those guys do. We all have to pull our weight."
After throwing a combined 794 2/3 innings the past two seasons, Danks and Floyd will be prime weight-pullers for a Chicago rotation that projects among the best in the game. As former first-round draft picks, they're fulfilling the promise they showed in high school -- Floyd at Mark Teixeira's alma mater, Mount Saint Joseph High School, in suburban Baltimore, and Danks at Round Rock (Texas) High School. They're a testament to the ingenuity of White Sox general manager Kenny Williams, who acquired them both during a productive 17-day span in late 2006. On Dec. 6, Williams traded Freddy Garcia to the Phillies for Floyd and Gio Gonzalez. Two days before Christmas, he sent Brandon McCarthy to the Rangers for a package featuring Danks.
Think about that: Most executives consider it a coup to land one affordable, durable young starter in a trade. If Williams had waited 24 hours longer, he could have scored a pair between Pearl Harbor Day and Christmas.
They're the gift that keeps on giving.
A pair of prodigies
Danks, 24, is accustomed to the expectations that come with being the scion of an athletic family. His father, John, played guard for coach Abe Lemons on the University of Texas basketball team that won the NIT championship in 1978, and his younger brother Jordan played outfield for the Longhorns and is currently a prospect in the White Sox farm system.
The Rangers chose John Danks with the ninth overall pick in the 2003 draft, then sent him on his way too soon. Since arriving in Chicago three years ago, Danks has averaged 7.02 strikeouts per nine innings, and the lefty been slightly tougher on righties than lefties. He credits pitching coach Don Cooper with introducing him to the cutter, and catcher A.J. Pierzynski with helping him navigate American League lineups.
"Danks is like Buehrle," Pierzynski said. "He doesn't want to think about pitches -- he just wants to think about execution. He lets the catcher do the thinking."
Lots of people regard Pierzynski as an antagonist extraordinaire; Danks sees him as future manager material.
"I bet I've shaken off A.J. three times in my career, and two of them are home runs," Danks said. "He can have the reputation of being a jackass, or whatever, but he's one of the smartest baseball people I've ever met."
Floyd originally signed with Philadelphia as the fourth pick in the 2001 draft -- one spot ahead of Teixeira -- and then morphed from hotshot prospect to walking cautionary tale. He listened to too many people, tinkered excessively with his mechanics and was more consumed with the process than the result. When he should have been focusing on the catcher's mitt, he was more concerned with his leg drive, arm slot and follow-through.
"When you don't know who you are mechanically as a pitcher, you lose all confidence," said Floyd, 27. "It was just crazy. I would be thinking about my mechanics when I was pitching in a game. I was about to throw the ball and I'd think, 'I've got to compete,' and you're not going be able to compete that way. It was a real battle for me."
Floyd made 24 appearances with the Phillies over three seasons, and it was painful to watch him dissect his performances in the clubhouse as the TV cameras rolled. Some markets aren't conducive to learning on the job, and Philadelphia ranks high on the list.
"You have to have a little thick skin to play in Philly," Floyd said. "I remember sitting on the bench one game when Billy Wagner hit 100 on the radar gun and everybody was cheering. Then he hit 99, and they all booed. I was like, 'Wow.'"
Upon Floyd's arrival in Chicago, Cooper made a mechanical tweak or two. But Cooper and Pierzynski were more concerned with making Floyd feel comfortable and helping him trust his instincts and his stuff on the mound.
Floyd's ultimate breakthrough came internally. One day, White Sox reliever Scott Linebrink handed him David L. Cook's book "Golf's Sacred Journey: Seven Days at the Links of Utopia." The more Floyd read, the more his mind felt freed. And his right arm soon followed.
"I know this is a sensitive subject," Floyd said, "but I put complete trust in God that there's a plan. To take that pressure and give it to Him, it gives me the confidence and the strength and the fearlessness I need.
"When you're in professional baseball and you're 18, your identity is baseball. That book opened up my eyes. In the big scheme of things, when you die, do you want to be known for your baseball career or the relationships with your family and your friends? It kind of put things in perspective for me."
More work to do
In spite of their progress, Floyd and Danks still aren't finished products. After winning 17 games in 2009, Floyd suffered through a horrendous stretch last May. He eventually pulled it together, but his season ended prematurely in September because of a sore left hip.
Danks, a fly-ball pitcher, is a less-than-ideal fit for cozy U.S. Cellular Field. He allowed 28 home runs in 2007 and 15 in 2008 before surrendering 28 again last year. Keeping the ball in the yard is a top priority for him this season.
In comparison to their first season in Chicago, when they competed for the fifth spot in the rotation, Floyd and Danks now have the luxury of tinkering in camp. Regardless of their Cactus League stats, they know they're going to line up behind Peavy and Buehrle, with Garcia in the fifth spot and young Daniel Hudson next in line.
Gavin and I know we are a big part of this rotation. If we don't go out there and do our jobs, it doesn't matter how good [Peavy and Buehrle] do. We all have to pull our weight.
"-- White Sox starter John Danks
Off the field, Floyd and Danks have developed a close friendship, and they spend a lot of free time playing the science fiction video game "Halo." Although Floyd is generally acknowledged as the superior player, he has a little Gaylord Perry to his game.
"Gavin is the best, but Gavin cheats," Danks said. "He's the biggest dork on the team, so he knows all the cheat codes, and where to hide and how to look on our screens."
Because of his self-professed status as a "big, clumsy, dorky guy," Floyd is a favorite target for ribbing throughout the Chicago clubhouse. Not surprisingly, Pierzynski is the master agitator.
"He cheats at crossword puzzles, too," Pierzynski said of Floyd. "He thinks his crossword skills are good, but they're really bad."
Floyd can take solace in the knowledge that his teammates kid him only because they love him. Like his buddy John Danks, he found opportunity and a sense of comfort in Chicago , and showed that even first-round draft picks can benefit from second chances.
It's no surprise that Jake Peavy and Mark Buehrle are attracting most of the attention in White Sox camp. It shouldn't be long until the two pitchers behind them begin receiving their fair share.

Perhaps a lot of folks lease because they like the payment.
That said, for long-term buyers, it also makes sense to lease with an eventual plan to purchase. There are two reasons behind this logic: 1) If the car turns out to be a dud or you wreak it, you can unload it at the end of the lease and 2) if the car is worth less than the residual, you can often negotiate a lower buyout price -- effectively giving you another bite at the apple. The downside to the lease is that the cost of money (the effective APR) is often a little higher.

Playing top-flight football when the regular season comes to a close is not always enough in Division I football, however. The 2005 Buckeyes come to mind as a team capable of beating anyone in the nation by the time the season came to a close. Unfortunately for them, two regular-season losses firmly removed them from the national championship hunt.
Such a scenario has not always been the case for Tressel, who spent 15 seasons manning the sidelines at I-AA Youngstown State. As long as the Penguins were one of the top 16 teams in the nation when the season came to a close, they made the playoffs and had a shot at winning a championship.
Tressel still espouses the "improvement each week" mantra to his teams, but the circumstances surrounding them have changed.
"In general, the system that we're in now versus the system where you have a 16-team playoff, it's maybe a little bit easier in the playoff scenario to really buy into the, 'Hey, we've just got to get better every day,' " Tressel said. "That's what you hope you could buy into anyway but the system helps you buy into it."
When the 2005 Buckeyes defeated Notre Dame in the Fiesta Bowl, the performance put them in the forefront of the national championship picture the following season. As for the right to challenge themselves against the best of the nation, Tressel said the thought never crossed his mind.
"I'm sure that was a fun thing for a lot of our people to say at the end of '05: 'Man, we could've beat anyone,' " he said. "That wasn't the system. The system was you were supposed to beat everyone from the beginning of the year."
That holds true this season. The Buckeyes dropped to No. 11 in the nation following the loss to Wisconsin, and the team's stated goal of winning a title this year has been put on life support.
Junior linebacker Andrew Sweat said the team entered the season knowing it had to be perfect to assure a berth in the title game.
"I just think that's something you go in knowing: You have to be spotless if you want to play in the national championship," he said, "but a lot can happen. You still have the same goals. There's a lot of games that we played, but you realize you have to be spotless going in. In previous years one-loss teams have gone to the national championship. We're just keeping that in mind and working hard."
Tressel said his 2003 squad felt accomplished following a 35-28 victory against Kansas State in the Fiesta Bowl because it was playing at a high level. The fact that the team had dropped road contests to Wisconsin and Michigan that season did not temper those feelings, he said.
"To them what was most important was being at their best the last time they played even though 14 of them were going to get drafted and all that stuff," he said. "In their minds they just wanted to get better and that was a very satisfying thing. I don't know if at the end of that game I said, 'Boy, if there was a playoff I'm sure we would've won it.' There wasn't a playoff. I never wish for what I can't have."
Still Dreaming: When Zach Boren was named the team's offensive lineman of the week following a win at Illinois, his older brother Justin Boren gave him some words of wisdom. The senior left guard told Zach, a fullback, that his dreams of ever earning a carry at OSU were dead and buried after being named the offensive lineman of the week.
Asked if he still has that dream of carrying the football, Zach smiled.
"I guess," he said. "I don't know. We'll wait and see on that one. Hopefully, but whatever happens, happens. I'm still young. I'm only halfway through my sophomore year."
Big Catch: When senior wide receiver Dane Sanzenbacher hauled in an acrobatic 9-yard reception to pick up a third down against Wisconsin, he wound up flying through the air and landing facemask-first on the Camp Randall turf.
It apparently looked worse than it felt.
"It wasn't too bad, actually," he said. "I've had worse."
Watching the replay did not seem any different than taking part in the play, he added.
"I imagined it looked something like that," Sanzenbacher said. "I knew when I jumped up to get it that I was most likely going to get hit one way or the other but I didn't know exactly what would happen."
Herron Improving: After beginning the season listed as the starter but clearly behind Brandon Saine on the depth chart, junior running back Dan Herron is starting to come into his own.
Herron has moved to the top of the team's rushing chart with 446 yards and has rushed for at least 90 yards in two of the last three games. Saine is the only back with a 100-yard rushing performance, although junior quarterback Terrelle Pryor has three.
Including an Illinois game in which Pryor suffered a quad injury, Herron has averaged 18 carries a game for 84.7 yards and moved to ninth in the Big Ten with an overall average of 63.7 yards per contest.
Zach Boren credited an improved sense of vision for Herron's improvement.
"He's getting into a zone now," the sophomore said. "Throughout practice and in games he's getting more carries. He feels like he can make any play possible. His vision has gotten a lot better. I'm not cutting on his vision one bit – he's a great running back – but I just think he's seeing the whole field a lot better now and he's running a lot tougher. He's lowering his shoulder and watching film and knowing what moves to pull here and there."
