There is only one member of the Phuopsis plant (Phuopsis stylosa) genus and this goes by the common name of Crosswort.
It is able to reach 30 cm in height and blooms in the summer.
Phuopsis is a hardy perennial that grows in mats of narrow leaves.
The flowers are clustered into an attractive ball, and consist of minute pink tubular flowers.
It is an ideal plant to use in rock gardens, looks attractive at the front of borders or let it drape over walls to creative an attractive focal point.
Crucianella maritima, Crosswort by ant2ant41; creative commons.
Crucianella stylosa - Phuopsis stylosa – Crosswort by Stadtkatze.
Common Names: Crosswort.
Life Cycle: Perennial commonly grown as a hardy annual by gardeners.
Height: 10 to 12 inches (25 to 30 cm).
Native: Europe, Asia.
Growing Region: Zones 6 to 9.
Flowers: Summer.
Flower Details: Yellow, violet. Tiny. Umbels.
Foliage: Compound. Narrow. Pinnate.
Sow Outside: Surface. Autumn. Spacing 18 to 20 inches (45 to 50 cm). Germination time: one month. Temperature 50°F (10°C).
Sow Inside: No.
Requirements: Full sunlight or light shade. Dry soils. Deadhead before flowers set seeds as Crosswort may spread uncontrollably if left unchecked. Propagate: dividing in the spring; cuttings in the summer.
Miscellaneous: Synonymous with Crucianella.
When growing Crosswort (Crucianella / Phuopsis Plants) from seed it is best to sow them outdoors on the surface in the autumn. It should take about one month to germinate once the temperature cools to 10 to 15 degrees. If you buy Phuopsis from a garden center then plant outdoors in either spring or autumn. In either case the Crosswort should be planted / sown about 50 cm apart into a dry soil. Crosswort are able to grow in partly shady or sunny areas.
Crosswort is a spreading mat forming plant, you may need to keep an eye on it once growing so that it does not spread to far. If you require more Phuopsis plants then take cuttings in the summer or divide the plants in the spring.

Notice the question mark. Feeling a little pissed off and sorry for myself right now. I've been playing since roughly the age of 12. Now, at age 39, I've been through: - knee scoping. they found cartilage loss, and did microfractures to help - shoulder scoping. Debur, debride, Mumford. Worked great for a few months and then a different part of the shoulder started hurting. We won't talk about the left shoulder I tore when recovering from surgery on the right side due to a bicycle accident... Now my knee is acting up again, and I know the next step is an ACI procedure (autologous cartilege injection, aka Carticel). I'm willing to deal with the 6 months of rehab, but according to their site, patients who have it, have a 49% rate of going under the knife again. I have to start asking myself - is it time to give up competitive tennis? I can't imagine not playing tennis with the mindset that I want to win, and improve, playing tournaments, leagues, whatever. I see 60, 70, 85 year old men and women playing, and I want that to be me. Obviously I have to have some conversations with my ortho, but if you've been through this, or are going through it, feel free to chime in.
Time to challenge yourself with something else, be it swimming, billiards, tournament bridge, chess, tai chi, anything but repetitive trauma. If you keep up what you're doing now, arthritis will complicate the problems you already have in those joints.
Sorry to hear that. Best wishes on your recovery. But I agree with you that when we say that tennis is a sport for a lifetime, we should add a little footnote: * Only if you avoid hard surfaces, and stiff racquets and strings.
the same story here volleyball player and then converted to tennis after college... same age... 2 shoulder scopes in last 18 month... SLAP on the right, DCR and clean up on the left... Good enough to play 3.5 doubles to limit serving for 2-3 weeks. I am taking for what it is worth as I can't imagine getting back to 4.0-4.5 singles tournaments and hitting 8-10 hours a week... Curious what other part of your shoulder hurting after mumford? Still having on and and off issues with my left one that I cleaned up over new years... My 2hbh was my best shot... sucks...
I would say if you're 3.5 and under...it's probably a lot easier to play tennis for longer. The higher up the chain you go and the more athletic and physically demanding the points, it's obvious more is asked of your body. If you started young and are playing the bulk of your tennis on hard courts to boot...I'd say it's NOT really a sport for a lifetime. Doesn't mean you shouldn't try, though!!!! Jeff
Thanks. I'm a 4.0, could probably be a 4.5 if my body cooperated, but oh well. ab70 - not really sure. It's definitely muscular, the mumford was just to give more clearance I think. They found little or no tearing at the time, and I rehabbed pretty quickly. The knee is giving me the most concern at the moment. ACI is described as a pretty painful procedure with a 6-8 week non-weight-bearing period plus 3-8 months recovery time. And with a sub 50% success rate?
1) use a low powered very flexible racquet, great for your arms and control 2) use full natural gut at low tensions, to give you power and great for your arms 3) get the best shoes and insoles on the market 4) play on clay or grass more.. 5) play more doubles, hit against the wall, ball machine , light rallying, drills etc.. i.e. have fun.. Playing competitive matches is very hard on the body.. 6) massage the major joints and muscles in your body daily like me
i have been only playing doubles for last 4 years and still i have foot injuries and knee problems. and i wear Best shoes in the market.
With a 49% chance of going back to surgery for your knee, it would be the most prudent choice to give up competitive tennis, or at the very least, give up singles competitive tennis. As much as you may like a particular sport, battling lifelong ailments as a result of the activity are certainly not worth it in my opinion.
I'm the same age as you...I feel your pain, literally. I've never had surgery but only because my insurance sucks and I am too damn cheap to do it. I've been through PT for my right shoulder and both wrists now. Last year my eye doctor took me out of contacts but I cheat and wear them for tennis. He said they were basically making me go blind. My knees are still fine (knock on wood) (No, seriously, I just knocked on wood laminate) but my hips get sore. I got a bulging disk last winter lifting some stuff around the house......... Right now my left wist is the biggest problem. It decided to act up totally opposite from my right wrist (unlar side). I'm doing everything I can, ice, heat, NSAID's, but with our short summers here in Caucasia I am NOT resting it now. I've wondered how much longer I can do this to my body. Pretty tough stuff for such a "sissy sport".
It sounds like it would be really hard for you to give up tennis entirely, so I'm hoping you won't have to. But would an extended break help heal that knee without a need for the ACI procedure? Could a slow return, with greater emphasis on really building up the leg muscles off court, really help the knee? You aren't even an ounce overweight, are you?
I'm hoping I don't have to. If I have to give up playing USTA leagues and tournaments, I will at least continue to coach my daughters and wife, but that's not the same. The ACI is intended to replace cartilage that is missing in my knee. Rest may help, as would losing weight (I'm not really overweight but being leaner definitely helps your knees). Building up muscle helps prevent tears and other issues, but won't help with what is essentially a bone-on-bone problem.
Well, if you have modern strokes and use the best of modern equipment, I would seriously consider moving to arm friendly equipment. Remember, there is not a ton of information on folks using the stuff long term, you are probably the canary in that coal mine and look at your recent experience. As to your legs you have a couple of options: play doubles, play on clay, play less competitively, use a brace (which can take you from being barely able to walk to playing like nothing is wrong).
I asked a doctor buddy of mine "When are you too old to participate?" He replied "When it takes too long to recuperate." Due to knee issues, I rarely play singles anymore, but love good competitive doubles! The week before last, I played 5 sets on a Friday morning. It takes me about 3 days to recuperate (although my knees complain every time I go up or down stairs). I know I'll pay as I get older. I'm just hoping medical advances will out run my playing life.
Can't say enough about Har-Tru on the body. Seek it out and play on it as much as possible. I notice a big difference in the feet, knees, hips, and back. Unfortunately, it doesn't help the shoulders. I'm 39 and 6 months post SLAP surgery - first major injury I've ever had. I hope it's a while before my next. Also, I already have an eye out for my kids (8 and 6). We are a tennis family but I watch their court time, play as much on clay as possible, teach them good warm up and technique, and have them play other sports. I want them to be able to play long into their lives and I already see 12 year old juniors with stress fractures and arm problems.
Clay would be great but here in Norcal, it's all hard court. I've actually tossed around the idea of moving to Florida or North Carolina if it would extend my playing career
Have you seen the price of land around here? Actually, it's a dream of mine to have my own court one day.
In Paul Metzler's book _Advanced_Tennis_ (written in the mid-1960s) he gave advice for playing people who use western grips saying (paraphrasing from memory), "Don't approach the net on anything he can get a good swing at. Whatever your western opponent does, hang in there. He might wilt in the second set, no matter how fiery he is in the first set. Using the western style takes a lot of energy." My speculations: The western style takes more out of your shoulder because you're swinging hard all of the time (because you can make the ball still go in) and it's harder on your legs because you have to squat down lower to retrieve the slices and because you have to squat down and push up with your legs even on moderate balls to generate heavy topspin. The two-handed backhand harder on all body parts except the elbow. Playing such people is harder on the body because you have to jump/split-step on every shot to retrieve those screamers. When tennis was described as a sport for a lifetime, it was back in the days when people still used continental and eastern-toward-continental styles. You would delicately stroke the ball, hoping to get close enough to the tiny sweet spot to maintain control, and if a club player could regularly hit three good ground strokes in a row he'd probably win the point due to his opponent's unforced errors, but western-grip players with big rackets can keep the point going indefinitely. Now that correct technique is no longer be competitive, it might be more difficult to continue into middle-age and beyond.
The majority of cheap suburban courts in Australia are laid with artificial grass. Although it has been described as terrible by pro players it does have a few things going for it: you can slide on it. the ball stays fast on it, and it rewards a big serve (points are short). Now, every time I go play on hard court eg. an acrylic surface or concrete, it is noticeably very much tougher on the body, needing a much longer recovery, and also prone to give an injury. However I find it better fun to play on (more Western grip, bigger groundstrokes etc). Anyway, choose an easier surface. More doubles. Enjoy some social tennis. Pretty tough game to do all your life. ps. is there in some sense the idea that you are at a plateau of playing and don't want to go backwards or downwards? If so then there can really be nothing to trun back father time.
Well, sort of. At age 39, with 3 kids, the best I can hope for is to play 1-2x/week. It's hard to improve your level if that's all you do. Even if I wanted to play at a lower level, you can't drop to a lower league level without medical reason, and even then it's difficult to do. But no, I don't want to go backward or downward. I want to be that crafty old coot serving and volleying at age 60 or 65 Finding a different surface makes a lot of sense, but I think I would have to move to make that a reality.
I feel you bro. I am 40 and have always been ion excellent condition. I played a lot of tennis in my teens and early 20's then stopped. I got back into it about 4 years ago and played 4.0 tournaments and guys at my level many days a week. Well, I am having hip replacement surgery in 2 weeks. Had the hip scoped 6 months ago to no avail. There is no doubt that while my hips are genetically bad...tennis on hard courts..competitive tennis..training and being obsessed with it...definately sped up my joint deterioration. * can tell you this, after I have my hip (and possibly both) replaced...I will probably only play on clay and will not worry about playing 4.0 4.5 type tournaments. I probably can't anyway. I know another guy who has had one hip replaced in 2000 and one hip resurfaced and he can still play at that level but he is REALLY good and has a smooth game. He is a teaching pro. No doubt..modern competitive tennis on a hrd court will get you eventually. The sport is hard on joints (hard court). I played a very aggressive style too and would constantly be changing directions and moving forward....doesn't matter, hard courts will get you.
Ive been goin thru some of that same stuff lately,....and at 55,...i ask myself if its worth it......But then i figure.....ill know....cuz it wont be fun anymore....right now...despite it all....im havin a blast!!!!!!!!!....so ill do what it takes to stay with it....
I'm about your age soon Also played a lot in my teens, then took a break in my late 20's and then started again 4 years ago. My knees hurt, and I have to cut down on the number of times I play tennis a week - maximum 2 times a week now. You have to do certain things to be able to continue playing tennis in my view. Avoid hard courts - I'm serious AVOID HARD COURTS !! They are very tough on your legs and will destroy you in the long run. Find a place where they have clay courts. Continue on hard courts and you're done in 4-5 years time. Start playing doubles more, practice on the wall more often and just hit with your partners instead of playing actual matches. Matches are very tough on your body in the long run, so try to cut down on that. Think about the racquet you use, the strings and how you hit your shots. Do this to minimize the strain on your arms and body. Why are there so few clay courts in the US, when all you can find in Europe is clay courts ? Clay is sooo much cofter on your legs and body.
I completely agree with Club's comments. Dan, I have a very similar experience to you and Club but I am approaching 50. I also have been playing since 12. I learned old school tennis in the mid to late 70s at Ron Holmberg's tennis camp. I played high school tennis and took a break through college and law school to concentrate on academics but I could have played Division 3. After having a knee scoped in my mid 20s from basketball,while in the recovery room, my family was told my tennis days were over. Flashforward a year and after rehab and my ortho changed his tune and said I could play for the rest of my life. I picked the game up again with a vengenance in my late 20s but was at the 4.0 level until my mid 30s when i hooked up with a coach who modernized my technique and I rose to 5.0 and started playing skill-level and age tournaments. Let me emphasize that until my mid 30s I played on hard courts which probably took a major toll on my body. I then embraced har-tru and clay. As I incorporated the modern game and I got older, my body started to break down. At 39, I needed rotator cuff surgery. I cut down on my playing due to professional and family commitments and played 1-2 a week including an advanced league. At 45 I moved to the burbs. My community had beautiful har-tru courts and an advanced team that competed in the country club circuit. I started playing more often again. However, by 47 I needed microfracuture surgry on one knee which was arthritic and could probably use the same procedure on the other knee. However, my ortho said its not worth the time and effort to go thru it again. My ortho advised to only play on har-tru which I have been doing for years and only doubles and I will be fine for another 30 years. However, I now have a strained ligament in my index finger of my racquet hand which has kept me out almost 3 months. It sucks getting older! Regarding the 70 olds who play, many of them never competed at the highest levels. I play and hit with some 60-70 year olds who played pro or the highest level division 1 and they can't move to the ball very well even with knee and hip replacements. Although they can generate very good pace on the serve they double fault very often due to their mobility limitations. So don't go crazy, if you want to be able to play into your 70s nad enjoy yourself, it is time to start pacing yourself. Best of luck to you from a guy who is 10 years older with 10 years more wear and tear!
OK...an example of 'overdoing it'.......this spring i got playing soooooo intensely,...that i was playing nearly 6 out 7 days a week. After a few weeks of this,...i was playing a match....and in that last fateful match i actually stumbled and fell to the court going after balls. (i suspect fatigue showing on me). In the second fall i took i broke a bone (fibula) in my right leg. Been sitting out the last 5 weeks. i chalk this up to 1.using crosstrainers instead of respectable shoes,....and....2,...Not allowing myself to recover enough between matches,...and grinding myself down. The passion is great,..but i let it get the better of me.
Not the case. I was back on court in 6 months. I had my microfracture surgery at age 46 in July 2008. I ended all rehab by the beginning of December 2008. I could have started to play then but I was planning to go away with my family for Christmans and so decided to wait to go back on court until the beginnning of the new year in case of a setback so I would not ruin my vacation. I was back on court in January 2009 with the surgeon's permission and blessing with the unloader brace I had used to transition off of crutches over a 6 week period in the fall of 2008. I started off slowly over 4-6 weeks and played in a drill instruction group at my club. I took it easy and played smart and didn't go after tough balls. My mobility and quickness was not what it was before the surgery but this can be somewhat attributed to the unloader brace. However, after a month I was allowed to play with my patella stabilizer marshall style knee brace (I had used for years) when I was not playing very intensely. If I was playing more intensely, I played with the unloader brace for a time so as to keep myself out of trouble. Over a several month period, I transitioned completely off the unloader and had full mobility. When I came back to the same drill and play group in the fall of 2009, everyone was amazed at how much quicker I was. (This was probably more a matter of confidence as I moved more cautiously in the first few moths after returning to court.) Although, I have no limitations, I still play smarter now and don't go after some balls I can get to in order to hopefully ensure my longevity in the sport.
This is great news. I've heard stories about nba players who are basically out a year after micro-fracture. It still seems like you were in half rehab mode with low intensity play for half a year though, so still about a year before you're playing anywhere near full tilt. To me, that's acceptable. Did your insurance plan cover most of the costs? After an MRI, this may be my next step. You're giving us all hope!
What's your playing style? Perhaps you can make strategic changes (including possibly stroke changes) to your game to help preserve your body.
You should take it one step at a time and hopefully you wouldn't need a microfracture. I could have it on my other knee but my ortho does not recommend it because of the recovery process and the fact I have a young family. He believes that if I take care of myself, I can play sports and never need a knee replacement, etc. If its a matter of missing the cartilage and having arthritic knees, your doc may even recommend the Sinvisc or other artificial knee fluid injections first. You may not even need that, who knows? BTW, everyone's recovery is different and the results of microfracuture are mixed depending on a number of variables. Some pro athletes were unable to resume their careers after the procedure. However, one factor is that the younger you are, the better your chance for success. See for e.g. Amare Stoudemere had it in his early 20s) vs. Chris Webber and Alan Houston, in their 30s. ( J-Kidd did come back but he lost his explosiveness). My surgeon did not take insurance so I used my out of network beenfit and paid the difference out of pocket. If your doctor is in network there should be no problem but if you get to this point, you should obviusly discuss this before going ahead. To me, I was willling to go out of network to have one of the best sports orthopedists perform the operation. Health is the most important thing! In any event, the best of luck to you!
Digging up an old thread. My knee got better, and I assumed the microfracture had done the trick. Two weeks ago, was playing doubles (I've switched to mostly doubles) and after the match, felt swelling in the knee again. Ortho says MRI shows damage has "progressed", I have a followup visit 12/31 to discuss but I assume he's going to pitch carticel again.
Wow 39 to me is not very old, a lot of you that are having that many problems at that young of age must not be very active or in very good shape. I did not get serious into tennis until my mid 40's and am now 57 and have been playing 5 days a week all year for the last 5 years or so. I am a strong 4.0 singles player, and only play singles. My playing style is grinding with a lot of top spin and consistent play, so I am not playing a easy end the point quick style. Sometimes me and my partners will hit for a good 20 minutes or so and then just play a set or 2. So I am not playing matches more than 1-2 times a week and the rest of the time is practicing. I have weight trained for years and used to take the summer off from weight training because I played so much softball. But once I switched to tennis I found out that I had to weight train all year to avoid injury. Believe me that resistance training is the key to longevity in sports. A good part of my training nowadays is focused on injury prevention. For tennis players that means specialized shoulder, elbow, wrist and leg training. A lot of the players at my club that are in their 40's now ask me how I play so much but am rarely injured. I ask these guys first what do they do for a living? And most have sedentary jobs. Then I ask them if they do any working out besides tennis. Of course most all say no, these guys are good players and have been playing for years. So I tell them that they are just an accident waiting to happen. They play a couple of times a week and are still in enough shape to play at a high level of course most of them only play doubles. But it is just a matter of time before they get injured. You cannot play this game at a high level into your 40's for long without becoming injured without other training. It is as simple as that, so it is up to you guys either start weight training and become stronger or keep whining and complaining about your old age.
How about high level of intensity then? The exact level of talent is not that important, even good 3.5 players need to be able to avoid injuries as they get older. The subject is about playing tennis for a lifetime.
Great thread. I can relate to the OP and many of the posts. The bottom line for me is to understand I have only so many court hours in my body and to use them wisely. Each year I go to a few of our local tennis tourneys to mostly watch my players, students and tennis pals compete. Every year I am asked "how come I am not in the draws?" Tourney tennis beats the heck out of your body. I make my living being on my feet and I am mostly self employed. I play hard when I can and rest when it makes sense. I have been playing the sport since I was 12...many years ago. I have had one knee scoped and not looking to have the other one done anytime soon. My hips are fine. I changed my game from get everything back to..1st strike tennis. I will not play more than three times a week.. and never back to back days. I just say no...while I walk, work out or do something to get my activity each day.. tennis is limited so I can continue to play and have fun doing it. Good luck everyone...
Wow, I've been playing since 12 and I'm 38, cooincidence. I have never had the horrible injuries you've had, but this year it's been one thing after another. Heh, you can't play if you can't move, so what is the question? I would suggest teaching if you have kids, or maybe at a school, it's still fun. Or play at a lower level, you can still win without killing yourself. My older brother has had one knee replaced, and now another.
Many people I know till the 4.5 level have not had any injuries, in spite of playing 3 times a week and not doing any exercise other than stretching. They range in age from 35 to 70.
The level does not have near as much to do with it as opposed to age and being out of shape. Actually many of the higher level players play more efficient with big serves and net games that keep the points shorter, as opposed to good 3.5 - 4.0 players that play a lot of long grinding points. How many of these older players that you know play singles 3 times a week? I know a lot of those type of players to but they play 99% doubles, they can not move good enough for singles anymore and are not in good enough shape.
If you are talking about tournaments were you have to play more than once a day or real tough matches back to back you are smart in not participating. That is pushing it for anyone let alone older players. Another problem is the amount of time one has to work out, play tennis, rest and recover. Many people do not have the time it takes to stay in shape and play tennis. I think your idea of playing every other day is a good one, but I have played my way into shape by playing a lot. But again I usually will only play a match or 2 a week and the other days are practice.
People delude themselves into thinking that being in shape has something to do with preventing wear and tear injury. For the most part, it does not. The OP has cartilage damage/loss in his knee that apparently is now worse. That doesn't happen because someone is not in sufficiently good shape. It happens because of overuse, in conjunction with a likely genetic predisposition. Getting into the best shape imaginable does not prevent those sort of severe physical problems.
There is some truth to what you are saying, however overuse with lack of muscle strength, imbalance in muscle strength and bad posture can definitely make this wear come much sooner than it should. The more even strength your muscles have the less strain there is to the joints, the muscles take more of the shock instead of your joints. I do agree that a player could be in great shape aerobically and still have joint problems, actually a lot of the runner types are in great shape but have worn their joints out from all the running and do little if any weight training. My point is strength training not just being in good shape, there is a difference a person could be very fit aerobically and thin but still have problems because of lack of strength and muscle imbalance.
I myself play 4.0 singles once or twice and 4.0 doubles once or twice a week, totally around 6 hours a week on the average. The only exercise I do is 15 minutes of stretching every day, and using the stairs at work. I am afraid of ruining my knees with extra exercise, like running. I figure that I am running during tennis, so why run more? I have never been injured, except once when I had TE when I was learning with bad technique, and once when I mistakenly switched to a demo racket in the middle of a session. Nothing that has kept me out for more than a day.
Thats good hopefully you can keep it up. How old are you? I agree that the running on off days could be to much wear and tear, I do not advise running. I am talking about squats, lunges and calf raises. A lot of times I will train my legs before I play tennis instead of the next day so they get time to recover. My point is strength training not aerobic training is the key to injury prevention.
Most of these events require you play more than once a day.. some you have to play over a 4 day weekend. It is not a problem to tell yourself... just take it easy and have fun and compete within reason. Once the bells rings, you will do what you have to do to get balls back and win points. You might not feel the pain while in action because you are amped up. It does come down to the fact that tennis, basketball, volleyball and other court sports just rip your body apart by the very nature of the movements required to compete. Biking, swimming.. etc are much easier on ones body since the motions are pretty much straight ahead. As the Great Ollie has posted...being in great shape does not save you. It is the miles and the time.. that causes the wear and tear. Being in perfect condition of course will help and give you more court hours. Also a family history of joint issues will not be overcome with techique and conditioning. Like anything else, you need to be moderate and use common sense.. ie listen to you body.. eat right and rest. You need time to recover to play another day. I have so many friends younger than me that have left the sport not following single common sense. Happy Hoildays!
You make some real good points, and I agree to an extent that it is the miles and time that takes its toll. I have played 3 matches in a row on consecutive days and gotten away with it but that is rare and I try to avoid this because that is pushing it to much. My point is the more structurally sound you are the more stress you can take.

I think I can gather what some of the Episode 3 figures will look like, based on stuff the Insider has been showing us:
Most interesting are:
1) New style Clone Troopers such as what's being shown on the cover of the next Insider, with the helmets sort of "stormtrooper" and some featuring macro-binoculars that rotate over the T-visor from behind the helmet (aka Zam Wessel's rotation, sort of)
These will be as exciting as all army-builders in white armor have traditionally been. Ever seen a Stormtrooper pegwarm?
2) Niemoidian Soldier - this guy (Featured in Insider 76:Luke Skywalker cover) is pretty darn cool! I thought ALL Niemoidians were cowards who used droids to fight for them. I'm glad to be proven wrong. These alien soldiers look like they could kick some butt. Probably aren't a lot of them, but something tells me Nute Gunray will have a few as body guards because he's chicken of a certain pregnant Naboo Senator! LOL
3) Anakin Skywalker - obviously. Hopefully a really good figure showing his first scar, the longer hair, etc.
4) Darth Vader - also obvious.
5) some kind of battle-ravished resculpt (amongst 2-3 resculpts we'll get anyway but one of these could be really cool considering this movie.
6) Anakin Skywalker - "big duel" - the intense facial expressions return, but this will be a cool figure.
7) Anakin Skywalker softgoods starfighter pilot - another obvious one, but will keep Anakin on the racks.
8) Obi-Wan Kenobi - obvious
9) big duel Obi-Wan Kenobi
10) Palpatine - a special figure (spoilers not in this thread)
11) Padme - pregnant - I don't see how they can not include her???
12) a certain General (spoilers not in this thread)
13) Bail Organa - obvious
What else? (be mindful of spoilers I guess).
Oh, and while a really good Yoda would be fine, how many more Kit Fistos, SaeSee Tiins, Plo Koons, Ki-Adi Mundis and so forth do you think they'll throw out there? Unless they are seriously different from previous versions and super-cool - I'm not planning to buy them.
Looking forward to the new Clones and the Neimoidian Soldier though.

"After.Life" a Lot of Dead Air
Somewhere in Agnieszka Wojtowicz-Vosloo's awkward debut feature is a macabre and almost quaint gothic mystery begging to be left alone. After blowing up at her boyfriend (Justin Long) over dinner, Anna (Christina Ricci) drives off and suffers a disastrous crash — then gets chatty on the mortuary slab. The funeral director (our friendly B-movie bear Liam Neeson) says she's a halfway-there soul that only he can hear, but what of the Deschanel-eyed spooky kid who thinks he saw her up and about in a synthetic-red slip? What might have played well as a multipage Poe rumination gradually gets pulled to bits by thudding Ricci-Neeson faceoffs in the poster-ready funeral-prep chamber and Long hissy fits over being denied access to his would-be fiancée's body. There's potential in the filmmaker's comfort with drawing out still moments and slipping into dark visions without drawing boundaries (and Ricci's ample naked lounging lends a certain continental touch). All of that just as easily turns into dead air and, by the end, a revelation telegraphed so unremarkably that it's hard to enjoy — not to mention Neeson's missed opportunity for vamping it up a little, what with a script that has him calling the corpses in his charge "you people!"

Dynamic Mic Shootout Pt 2
This is part two of the dynamic mic shootout. In part one we shot out the SM57, Audix i5, and BLUE Encore 100i on an acoustic guitar. This time around, we're adding a fourth mic, the Sennheiser e905, and we're putting them all up on a snare drum. I'd tried to get the positioning as close as possible on all of the mics, but due to physical limitations there is a bit of difference in their positioning. By and large, they are all pointed at an identical angle to the exact same spot on my snare drum. They're running into an Audient ASP008 pre and using the converter on there as well. I have the high pass filter engaged on all the mics, rolling off at around 80hz, and then they have been gain matched in Pro Tools to keep the levels as even as possible.
This should give you a pretty accurate idea of how differently these mics will respond to the snare itself, cross stick hits, and also bleed from the kick and hi-hat. If you don't particularly love the tone of any one of these mics, remember that if we were really miking up this kit, we would also have the overheads pulling in a lot of the ambience, and we'd do a bit of that handy ol' EQ. If you're trying to choose a good snare mic though, this should be helpful, and maybe a little revealing.
One thing I did want to point out that the audio files won't, is the build on the microphones. They're all very well built, but surprisingly the only one of the three that isn't entirely metal, is the SM57. That's odd considering it's known for it's ruggedness, but it's the only one with a material that I could easily break with a stray drum hit. Check out the files, and chime in below in the comments. Which was your favorite? Were you surprised? Did you hate all of them?

Suprisingly, I liked the 57 best, closely followed by the e905. The other two may come to life with over-heads, but raw I didn't like them at all.
I definitely like the e905 the best. It seems to have the most crisp, detailed sound of the four. It seemed to naturally bring out some nice higher frequencies that I like to hear when EQ'ing a snare.
That said, my least favorite was the Audix i5. It seemed to have the darkest, most muffled sound of them all. I feel like the 100i was slightly better than the i5. After listening to all of the SM57 tracks, I was slightly disappointed because I expected it to sound a lot better. Everyone drums up (no pun intended) how amazing a 57 sounds on snare, but I honestly wasn't super impressed.
The e905 definitely takes the cake on this one.
I'd have to agree on the e905, by far the most present full sound. It had just enough bottom end, but didn't lose definition on the top like the i5, which is funny considering how many great reviews I've read for the i5 and how many mediocre reviews I've read on the e905….The 57 had to be a close second with the Blue coming in third. At least in my book.

Decatur High's Nic Wilson drafted by Tampa Bay Devil Rays
Ken Watts | 6/20/2014, 7:11 p.m.
City of Decatur native Nic Wilson, who declared at age 3 that he would be a professional baseball player, is now with a minor league team in Princeton, W.Va.
He was picked June 14 by the Tampa Bay Devil Rays in the 24th round of the 2014 Major League Baseball draft.
Wilson, grandson of Elizabeth Wilson, Decatur's first African-American mayor, is a 2010 graduate of Decatur High. He is the son of Valarie Wilson, a candidate for state school superintendent and her husband, Carter, himself a 1972 Decatur High graduate.
Nic Wilson was the 727th player drafted from 1,215 players in a total of 40 rounds.
Some baseball observers thought he would go higher in the draft, considering his spectacular senior season at Georgia State University. But Wilson, a 6-foot-6, 240-pound right-handed power hitter, is happy to be where he is.
He signed with the Devil Rays this week and immediately reported to training camp to begin playing for the Princeton Rays in Tampa Bay's minor league organization.
Before heading to a workout with his new club on June 18, Wilson said it's a dream come true.
"As a ballplayer, all you ask for is another chance to advance your career and they've given me that," he said. "I couldn't be more excited about it and feel very blessed to be where I am."
Wilson, 21, has only five credit hours left to complete his political science degree at GSU. He hopes to finish his studies in the offseason.
A first baseman, he made first team All-Sun Belt Conference and second team Louisville Slugger/Collegiate Baseball All-America, batting .322. He was fourth in the nation with 18 home runs, the third-highest season total in GSU history. He stands among national collegiate leaders with 20 doubles, 52 RBIs in 56 games, 35 walks (a team high), .683 slugging and a .423 on-base percentage.
Before GSU, Wilson played his freshman year at Hofstra before transferring to play one season at Eastern Arizona College, where he earned all-conference honors and posted .326 batting average with 32 RBIs and two home runs.
Wilson's parents are thrilled with his opportunity.
Carter Wilson, one of Georgia's most respected prep basketball coaches and currently Decatur High's athletic director, said that he is extremely proud of his son.
"There is not a player in the country that's worked as hard as Nic has," he said Tuesday, adding that his son was disappointed that he only hit .247 his junior season and was not selected in the draft in 2013.
"Last year, on the last day of the draft, we sat in a restaurant in Sanford, Maine, wondering what he needed to do to get drafted," he recalled. "He called his coach and the coach said, 'You need to hit .320 and hit 18 home runs.' That was exactly what Nic did with a lot of hard work. You couldn't ask for more of a fairy-tale ending."
Valarie Wilson, who served on the Decatur School Board from 2002 to 2013 and is now in the July 22 Democratic runoff for state school superintendent, said Nic has aimed for a baseball career since he was a 3-year-old tee ball player at Oakhurst Park.
"I'm elated," she said. "My child has worked for that all of his life. So for him to be drafted is like a dream come true."
The Princeton Rays play in the Appalachian League, classified as a "rookie league" on the second-lowest rung of the minor league ladder.
There are five more levels to climb before Nic Wilson can become only the third Decatur High player to reach the majors, but he says he's ready for the challenge.
This week he was focused on helping his club win its June 19 season-opening game against the Bristol Pirates, a Pittsburgh Pirates minor league team. Wilson said he'll contribute any way he can throughout the season.
"I know I'll be batting somewhere in the middle of the order," he said. "They expect me to be a power hitter and drive in a lot of runs."

Great Choice
I've only had this phone for a couple of weeks and so far am satisfied with my purchase. It was easy to set-up and get started. I am still learning how to use some of the features. I was told it would copy up to 600 numbers from my iphone 5. It actually copied over 800 and will accept up to 3,500. This exceded what I expected and am very glad. Unless the handset is in a well lite area some of the function keys are hard to read. They are not lite up well enough. If there is a message there is a flashing red light that alerts you. However, there is no tone so if I come home and don't look at the phone I don't know there is a message.So far those are the only drawbacks that I have found. The sound quality is excellent on incoming calls. When talking on a handset people tell me they can hear me really good except when talking on speaker phone from the base set. I'm told it sounds like I'm talking in a tunnel as most speaker phones do. I am glad I made this purchase as it is one of the best phones I have had.

iPhone 5 NOT supported
I bought this when I had the iPhone 4 and it worked perfectly with that phone. However, It is NOT compatible with the iPhone 5 and, as such, is now completely useless to me. Perhaps my grandmother needs a new home phone system.

The Best Cordless Phone System
Panasonic model KX-TG7543 is the best phone that we ever had. The sound is superb. The bluetooth feature is great, I don't have to worry about missing any calls on my cell phone when I am home because it connects to the Panasonic phone and I can answer the cell call on all the remote handsets. I was also able to download all my contacts from the my cell phone to Panasonic home phone, which saved a lot of time inputting all the phone numbers. The intercom feature is great because we can call family members throughout the house without shouting. Panasonic really put out a great product with a lot features that we can use!

Good phone with a critical flaw
The voice quality on this phone is amazing. Also the link to cell
feature is very good.
However one critical feature seems to be missing is,
speed dial. At least I can not figure out how to set speed dial on it and the product manual also does not say anything. To me
this is a major flaw with this phone system.

It Is A New Day!
I have been totally pleased with this purchase. I've had the unit a few days and am slowly learning all it can do. I keep the book handy so I can experience al of the features this unit has to offer. The price was a shocker especially with 3 handsets and Bluetooth.
I highly recommend this unit. Until this point, I only used the brands available since the 60's. That quality has changed and the newer kids on the block, are making great products. I plan to expand this set and buy a two line set next.

Well, I drop lots of products on purpose for testing 🙂 Last product I mistakenly dropped, however, was my Guerlain Loose Powder, which did survive!

Last night I knocked my like venus dazzleglass down the toilet, unfortunatly not the first makeup item i've lost to the thrown and probably won't be the last :(.
doh! 🙁
Oh my my. Hope they flushed xD
MAC Buttery eyeliner .. so I wasn't that worried 🙂
Well, my new 10-pan Inglot palette fell off the table when I was attempting to move something else. The lid slid off, but all ten shadows remained intact and un-gouged.
Biggest fiasco- UD eyeshadow in Sin- old version– it crumbled…tried hard to smesh it back together…but lot alot of powder….that one hit the pan and I rarely hit the pan.
Chanel Perfection Lumiere maybe a couple weeks after I bought it. I mourn for it.
One of my Mac LE beauty powders I love. Ceramic tile floor = instant death.
A discontinued L'oreal eyeshadow quad– not really that expensive but it did contain my HG purple that I have never found a replacement for until know 🙁
My naked2 palette which SURVIVED!!!.
Wait why would you drop a product for testing? What purpose does that serve? I'm confused lol
I think she does it to test the packaging's durability. 🙂
Never ever dropped any makeup on my own however my eyeliner has fallen a few
Times after getting rolled off my dresser.
Guerlain pressed meteorites powder, a few days after purchasing. Shattered into a big mess.
Oh no! Have you tried to re-press it?
my CoverGirl Queen Bronzer (luckily, I hit a huge pan on it and I wasn't a fan of it anyways) which I had to throw out and my awesome Sleek Ultra Matte palette which doesn't hold together and some shadows crumbled but I love it so much!
I dropped my Naked palette last week.
You would have thought a family member died. Thankfully, no major damage.
My naked palatte looks like it survived a tornado! Broken mirror and all but the shadows are still intact except for a tiny piece of half baked.
So funny and relevant that you ask! I just dropped my NYX "Rust" eyeshadow half an hour ago… even though I've dropped many things, this is the first thing that ever broke from a drop. I was heartbroken to be honest. =/
My TheBalm 'Balmbini Volume 2' only about 2 ft though from the top of my drawers onto my desk. But it was enough to make me think everything would've shattered! I'm pretty 'ritualistic' with my makeup and its application so I'm careful not to drop anything. Otherwise I'd have a heart attack I know it….
Not dropped, but knocked over whilst applying eyeliner- my deluxe sample of Lancôme Bi-Facil. Unfortunately, it was open and only 1/3rd survived. (I need to work on my beauty reflexes!)
I think it was a lipstick, lipgloss or OPI nail polish. I can't remember when I lastly dropped a powder product, which broke.
I try to be careful with my powder stuff and the packaging.
LOL that's funny–I didn't know you did a drop-test too. I would never do that! 😛 I'd probably be okay with doing it to drugstore products, but I'd never want to drop my Diors or Chanels on purpose–even for the sake of testing–and it wouldn't be a fair test to just drop one and not the other 😛 I think the last product I dropped was my Edward Bess Quad Royale in Monte Carlo. Thank GOD it was ok–I would have cried 😛
my Chanel Mimosa polish… it shattered to shards and was a mess to clean up- I even ruined my shirt !!

This holiday and the Fool For Love are the two I need to knock out so I can get that proto drake. I didn't do them last year due to forgetting last year's Lunar Festival and not giving a darn for Fool For Love.The last time I did the quests for these holidays was before the achievement system was added.
Vendetta Point is listed as being in Northern Barrens, however it is actually in Southern Barrens.
I was never fond of humanity either.
There are actually new elders, I know theres one in Desolace and I forget where else, They just forgot to update the acheivement
Amazing idea
It have to be said, that all the Honor Quests you do to gain To Honor One's Elders , also counts towards gaining 3000 Quests Completed :)
How about some updates? You know, to any of these many year old guides? Things changed so much that you have to go to the comments sections for every single quest and NPC to see the new location or if they even exist anymore. Every single elder position on that map is wrong!This comment is not only for the lunar festival, I'm sick of seeing so call guides from you that were outdated 2 years ago. While I'm here, drop the attitude and stick to the cold facts. It's especially ridiculous when you are presenting wrong things.You are welcome for my feedback!
I think the Lunar Festival should be renamed to "The Great Dumpling Harvest". At least that's how I celebrate it.
Elder High mountain is also currently listed as being in Northern Barrens, which while still being the barrens, it is no longer his home (he is currently at 41.5, 47.5 in Southern Barrens)

In it, but not of it. TPM DC
Grand Jury Indicts Mississippi Ricin Suspect
The main charge against Dutschke is that he "did knowingly develop, produce, stockpile, transfer, acquire, retain and possess a biological agent, toxin, and delivery system," namely ricin. According to the indictment, Dutschke "used the internet and other sources to research the production and use of ricin" and purchased the castor beans or seeds necessary to produce the poison "from vendors via eBay and PayPal."
Dutschke is also being charged with sending mail "containing a threat to take the life of and to inflict bodily harm upon the President of the United States." He is also charged with threatening two Mississippi officials who received letters tainted with ricin; Wicker and a judge named Sadie Holland. Holland is the mother of a man who defeated Dutschke in an unsuccessful 2007 campaign for state office.
An Elvis impersonator named Paul Kevin Curtis was initially arrested in conjunction with the ricin case. Investigators were initially drawn to Curtis because of similarities between the text in the toxin-tainted mailings and his online writings, which detailed his belief in an illegal organ harvesting conspiracy. Curtis and his attorney suggested Dutschke was attempting to frame him due to their longstanding feud stemming from rivalries over their martial arts and music.
Dutschke was arrested April 27 after investigators allegedly found records of his castor bean purchases and traces of ricin in his taekwondo studio and on items he was attempting to throw out. Because of these attempts to dispose of evidence, Dutschke was also charged with trying to "falsify, conceal and cover up by trick," what the indictment described as a "scheme" to "retaliate against and frame Paul Kevin Curtis." Dutschke has previously denied any involvement in the ricin mailings.

This verb was used in Old English to gloss Late Latin words in the sense "to discriminate, to decide" that literally mean "to divide, separate" (cf. discern). Hence also scead (n.) "separation, distinction; discretion, understanding, reason;" sceadwisnes "discrimination, discretion."

From Realgm.com:
The Bulls, Celtics and Knicks have engaged in trade talks with the Blazers regarding swingman Rudy Fernandez, according to a report.
The Knicks have coveted Fernandez for a long time. The shooting guard played in only 62 games last season, averaging a little over 8 points and 2 assists per game. One would think Wilson Chandler would have to be in that deal.
The same issues arise with Fernandez that arose with Chris Paul. A lot of the Knicks roster is untradeable. Felton can't be traded until December. The Golden State trio can only be traded separately until December. Past that, the players the Knicks would think about trading for a player like Fernandez is small, if not minuscule. Maybe Toney Douglas? Even that might be a tough sell because of the hole it would leave at point guard. For a team with a small batch of trading options, it would be surprising if Rudy Fernandez is in the cards.

3.83 / 5.00 6,665 ViewsYo peeps.
I'm pretty excited to finally get this on newgrounds. I had it up on my sponsors site for a week now and it gives me great joy to finally release it here. It's probably a good thing it was up for a week there, because I got a lot of good feedback.
Ya'll notice at one point in the game there is a maze. I've put a button in at this point to skip the maze but I would at least recommend attempting it first before using the button.
Thanks for the front page and all the awards guys. Working on the 3rd one right now and hopefully gte that to ya in a couple of months. I'm not sure why some of you guys are gettign a black screen. You may have to update flash or try a different browser. The code for this game isn't that advanced where it wouldn't load or anything.
actually tests intelligence!
love that demon, such creative ways of being EVIL!
going to hell
hahaha.. i enjoyed playing this.. game... hahaha.... poisoning =D

i can't think of any criticism. this game is great.
as for which to do circus or voodoo town why not make a third and a forth and do both.
that will probably be what happens.

I'll only know for sure when I tie into one myself, but while reefing on a snag, it bent fairly deeply into the butt, but with plenty of reserve in the middle. There's no sense that any part of the blank will fold over and surrender like some of the softer rods of this size will do. Seems to have plenty of butt strength for the big'uns. |
Charlie |
Interesting review Peter, How is the backbone on that rod? I am looking for a second 14 9wt. for Atlantic fishing, but Id like one with a lot of backbone for horseing out some of the bigger fish. Every year I get one the rips me a new one on my current 14 9wt. Charlie |
peter-s-c |
addendum The rod has smoothly progressive, medium stiff action so I've tried it with a DT-9-F salmon floater and a DT-10-S Type II salmon line -- worked very nicely. As a conventional rod, it's more of an 8/9 and very light, so the rod shouldn't be thought of as a one dimensional, short, heavy head slinger. Earlier on, I had also tried someone else's 9/10 with my 485 grain, 9/10 Guideline heads and they went very well on it. This rod certainly should be on the short list for anyone wanting a good all-round 14 footer in the 8/9/10 range. |
peter-s-c |
Got the 9/10 Dredger wet and the skunk is off the rod but it was only a bass . . . . Dave showed me some new water on the Grand it was perfect for slinging big uglies -- deep pocket water. Worked very nicely. Also had a chance on another run to test out how far it would go. Works short as well as it works long. My line only totals 765 -- light compared to what others are using on 9/10s (900 - 950) but I don't like hucking all that grain weight around the countryside. I'll save the big weights for the young studs . . . . The river colour wasn't too bad, off-colour but not chocolate milk, but still too warm yet for major runs. Saw some small trout rising but that was it for salmonids. Still, it beat work . . . . also got my right foot and butt wet -- gotta fix those leaks . . . . |

For tonight's Orange Bowl in Miami, the Cincinnati Bearcats booked the Fontainebleau hotel in Miami Beach. The only problem, Diddy also booked this fine establishment for a New Years Eve bash. I'm not going to ask how the Bearcats can afford a $600/night hotel, but I will question their coach's judgment.
Coach Brian Kelly thought 'it would be one giant distraction' having Diddy there, so he rewarded his players for their Big East win and moved the team to another hotel at the last moment — ruining all chances of partying with the Bad Boy crew.
The Bearcats are currently winning 7-0 in the first quarter, so a win tonight will probably make most of the players forgive their coach's shot calling error. Me, on the otherhand. I would never forgive you for ruining my chances to party with Diddy, even if I was playing in the Orange Bowl the next day.
Update at midnight ET: Game over. Bearcats lost 20-7. And they didn't party with Diddy. Those dudes must be pissed!

Arlington, VA (July 26, 2011) — NCB, FSB, (NCB) a federally chartered savings bank, committed to serving cooperatives nationwide originated over $77 million in new loans for 356 residential unit owners by the end of the second quarter 2011.
"With the residential real estate market seeing signs of improvement the biggest obstacle still facing buyers is the lack of available financing to purchase homes or refinance existing debt. We are pleased to remain a dependable and constant source of funding for these consumers," said Chris Goettke, NCB's Director of Residential Lending. "For more than 30 years we have provided tailored lending packages to the cooperative housing market. Our ability to create lending solutions to meet an individual borrower's needs—often when many other institutions can't—enables us to continue arranging loans for homeowners across the country, even in today's challenging lending environment."
Lending activity highlights around the country include $42 million for residents on the West Coast; $19.6 million for the New York cooperative market; $6.3 million in new loan originations in the DC Metropolitan area; and $8.8 million to cooperatives located in other markets throughout the US.
NCB is dedicated to strengthening communities nationwide through the delivery of banking and financial services, complemented by a special focus on cooperative expansion and economic development. Headquartered in Washington, DC, the Bank has offices in Alaska, California, New York, Ohio and Virginia. To learn more, visit www.ncb.coop. National Cooperative Bank on Facebook, or on Twitter at coopbanking.
The NCB Financial Group consists of the Congressionally-chartered National Consumer Cooperative Bank (NCCB) and NCB, FSB, a federally insured savings bank wholly owned by NCCB. The NCB Financial Group provides financial products and services for the nation's cooperatives, their members, and socially responsible organizations.
The NCB Financial Group also works in a strategic alliance with NCB Capital Impact, a non-profit Community Development Financial Institution created under the same act of Congress as NCCB with particular focus on impacting low and moderate income communities.

FIVE THINGS: Flyers at San Jose Sharks
by Staff Writer / Philadelphia FlyersPhiladelphia Flyers (27-23-6--60pts)
San Jose Sharks (35-15-6--76pts)
TIME: 10:30 p.m. ET I TV: TCN I RADIO: 93.3 WMMR
OFFICIAL NHL GAME NOTES I PHI at SJS: A Deeper Look
The Flyers come in winners of two of their last three with both victories coming in the form of a shutout by goaltender Steve Mason… The Flyers own a 6-4-0 record against the Pacific Division, while the Sharks own a 3-2-1 mark against the Metropolitan Division… The Sharks come into tonight's game having dropped three of their last four, but snapped a three-game losing streak with a 2-1 shootout win over the defending Stanley Cup champion Blackhawks… San Jose also had a six-game win streak prior to their recent stretch of losing three of their last four, and have gone 13-4-0 in their last 17 games.
This is the first of two meetings between the teams… The Flyers visit San Jose for the first time since Feb. 28, 2012, a 1-0 loss … The Flyers have have not won in San Jose in 13 seasons, going 0-5-1 with the last victory coming on Nov. 5, 1999, a 3-1 win… The Flyers have also not beaten the Sharks overall in their last 13 tries - home or away - they have gone 0-8-2-3 with their last victory coming on Dec. 12, 2000… Prior to this current winless skid, the Flyers owned a 13-3-2-0 record against the Sharks from the team's expansion in 1991-92 thru 2000-01.
The Flyers rank fourth in the NHL in scoring third-period goals (60), while the Sharks are tied for second in first-period goals scored (56) and have allowed the least amount of first-period goals scored (30)… The Flyers have scored on the power-play in six straight games, going 6-for-18 (33.3%) - its the second time they have done that this season, posting an eight-game streak from Nov. 12-27… The Sharks have the third-best penalty kill on home ice this season, allowing just nine goals on 79 attempts (88.6%) and are tied for fourth among the NHL's least penalized team, averaging 9.1 minutes per-game, while the Flyers are the NHL's most penalized teams at 15.5 minutes per-game… The Sharks have had six of their last eight games decided by one goal, winning five of those six games… San Jose is 24-2-5 when they score the first goal… Sharks goaltender Antti Niemi is a perfect 1-0-0 against the Flyers with his only regular season game against the club being a shut out… Sharks center Joe Thornton and defenseman Dan Boyle each scored their first NHL goal against the Flyers.
4. Player to watch FLYERS: Claude Giroux (C: 28)
The Flyers captain has been leading by example - he is coming off a goal and an assist in the club's 2-0 win at LA, and over the last four games, has posted six points (3g-3a)… Giroux also has 10 points (4g-6a) in his last eight games and since scoring his first goal of the season on Nov. 9, Giroux is tied for fourth overall in the NHL in scoring with 45 points (17g-28a) in that stretch… Giroux leads the team in points (52) and ranks second in goals (17)… Against the Sharks, Giroux averages a point-per-game with three goals and five points in five career games.
5. Player to watch SHARKS: Joe Pavelski (C: 8)
Pavelski leads the Sharks and is tied for third among all NHL players with 29 goals on the season, which is two shy of his career-high, and 10 of his 29 goals have come on the power-play… He ranks second on the team in scoring with 54 points in 56 games… Lately Pavelski has struggled - after posting seven goals and 10 points in a five-game span from Jan. 16-25, he has recorded just one goal in his last four games… Pavelski is also a point-per-game player against the Flyers - he has six points (3g-3a) in six career games.
"We've had a tough time going into that building. It's a tough building to play in. We have to be ready to go. Ready to be competitive. Ready to do things right. That's the only way you have a chance to win."

If I were hosting a swanky rooftop engagement party on a hot summer evening, I'd make these refreshing, not-too-sweet ice pops. You'll need to let the Prosecco get flat in the refrigerator before making the pops. If you're in a hurry, decant it into a large bowl, and it will turn flat faster. Be sure to use food-safe rose petals that haven't been sprayed with pesticide.
Leave a Review
We have wild roses in Bloom over much of AK currently. Need to know what Prosecco is? This is a must try for a night of grilling with fresh Copper River reds.
This is such a pretty, pretty dish, and wonderful for a special occasion! The pops have a clean refreshing taste, not sicky-sweet, which makes them a wonderful and unexpected palate cleanser between courses, or a refreshing finish to a heavy meal. They do take a bit time to prepare, particularly if you want the pops to have a layered look(the petals will float to the top if you do it all at once.) My solution was to add the syrup in thirds, mixing in a few petals, the adding abit more after they froze, adding a sprinkling more of petals etc. til the popsicle mold was full. It honestly wasn't time consuming; you just had to wait til that layer was firm. Do ahead tip: after making them (and removing from the mold!), freeze in a large Tupperware container, with the layers separated by parchment paper. Found the molds on line, and served these at a swanky bridal shower I catered to rave reviews-the surprise factor was as good as the taste!

Young players talk about auditions and more that went poorly
Auditioning is hard enough for adults. For teens it can be downright nerve-racking. I remember one casting director for whom I could never get my lines right when I auditioned. All my words would come out in a big garbled mess — embarassing. Here are a handful of insights from other young performers that might make the process easier for others. — Compiled by Tanner Richie, "Nip/Tuck"
"When I was 8, I had my first audition. I had just gotten my new stage name and was practicing it repeatedly. I was so nervous! When I got into the room, I slated the wrong name. I had to talk with the casting director afterward and say, 'Excuse me, but I forgot my name in the audition.'"— Ashley Ann-Michaels, "The Next Movie"
"On the set one time, I had to dress up in a tiger suit and wear red blush on my cheeks. The suit was hot and I felt embarrassed to walk around anywhere!"
— Eric Don, "Akeelah and the Bee"
— Rebecca Knight, "The Bernie Mac Show"
"It is impossible for any audition to be a 'failure.' Looking past the end result of getting the job and just focusing on having fun with your work can make acting more rewarding than you could imagine."
— Tyler Neitzel, "300"

Espresso yourself with some hot reads
Grownups like to share their love of reading, and win prizes too.
Library staff members were inspired to create an Adult Reading Program because of the longstanding successful Summer Reading Club program for children.
"Adults often comment on the activities and contests associated with the children's Summer Reading Club, wishing we offered something similar for adults," said Sharon Walker, library manager. "We thought that it could be a lot of fun to offer such a program and that it was about time adults were rewarded for their reading too."
This year there is a hot beverage theme to the program. Just like the children's Summer Reading Club, Hot Reads for Cold Nights — Adult Reading Program features fun games, special events, and an opportunity to share book reviews (espresso yourself).
Need some reading suggestions? Attend the adult reading program kick-off event on Saturday, Jan. 29 from 2 to 3 p.m. Virginia and Sharon — also known as the Book Baristas — will serve up hot, fresh reads along with coffee, tea and prizes. The Adult Reading Program is designed to be flexible enough to fit in with busy schedules.
Readers can start the program anytime between Jan. 29 and March 19 and they can enter the contests whenever they show their mugs (pun intended) at the Sidney/North Saanich branch of the Vancouver Island Regional Library.
For more information, call 250-656-0944.

Duralactin's MicroLactin contains factors that appear to block and inhibit body chemicals from participating in the inflammatory response of cat arthritis. Daily use may significantly diminish the pain felt by an arthritic or chronically ill dog.
