Amazing Goal: Hurricanes' Nathan Gerbe Pulls a Hertl, Because All the Cool Kids Are Doing It (Video)
Well, it's official. San Jose Sharks hotshot rookie Tomas Hertl is a trend-setter.
You might recall that, earlier this season in a game against the Rangers, Hertl became the youngest player in NHL history to record four goals in a single game. And you might further recall that goal number four was a ridiculous between-the-legs breakaway goal that left goalie Martin Biron completely baffled.
Since then, the between-the-legs goal is the go-to showboat move on breakaways. In early December the Bluejackets' Nick Foligno pulled it off against the Lightning's Ben Bishop. Now it's Carolina's Nathan Gerbe. He pulled a Hertl last night against Flyers goalie Steve Mason, giving his team a 2-0 lead en route to a 3-2 victory.
That was one hell of a goal. However, apparently the guys in the Carolina broadcast booth don't make a habit of watching highlights from other games to see what others teams in the league are doing. Because really? They haven't seen a goal like that all year?

Each of the World Cup co-hosts has one more football match to stage. Before Sunday's title game in Japan between Germany and Brazil, South Korea gets to play on home turf one more time - in the third place playoff against Turkey Saturday night (7 am EDT) in Daegu.
The vocal fans of the South Korean football team, nicknamed the "Red Devils," will have one last chance at the 2002 World Cup to root for their team - a team that will try to earn the bragging rights as the most successful outsider at a tournament that has been full of surprises.
Turkey knocked out Japan in the second round by a 1-0 score, offering further incentive for South Korea, which has already performed better than any other Asian nation in World Cup history.
Once again, millions of South Korean supporters are expected to fill city streets and plazas around the country to watch their team on huge public video screens.
South Korea's coach, Guus Hiddink, says his team will feel obligated to go all out to take third place. He says Turkey likes to attack, as well, and has technically skilled players. So, it should be an entertaining match for all, especially those Koreans lucky enough to have tickets to the wrap up World Cup play in their nation.
The championship match between Germany and Brazil is set for Sunday in Yokohama, Japan.

Roger Southall's Liberation Movements in Power Launched with Dale McKinley and Noor Nieftagodien
Considering that it was held on the eve of a public holiday, the Thursday evening launch of Liberation Movements in Power by Prof Roger Southall was well attended by an enthusiastic crowd of supporters, academics and students.
Southall is Professor Emeritus in Sociology at Wits University and a research associate of the Society, Work and Development Institute. Guest speakers invited to give their impressions of the book were Professor Noor Nieftagodien, NRF Chair of Local Histories, Present Realities, and head of the History Workshop at Wits; and Dr Dale McKinley – analyst, writer, lecturer and political activist.
Southall described the work as a comparative evaluation of three liberation movements in Southern Africa who moved into government, namely the South West African People's Organisation (SWAPO) in Namibia; the African National Congress (ANC) in South Africa; and the Zimbabwe African National Union-Patriotic Front (ZANU-PF) in Zimbabwe. He outlined a few of the themes in the book.
Southall said that national liberation movements, once seen as the answer, are increasingly seen as the problem in Southern Arica. They are highly complex but also ambiguous at once emancipatory and repressive. Liberation Movement in Power examines the dominant ways in which liberation movements have been characterised through the notion of exclusive nationalism (We are The People) and the notion of them evolving into political machines. An analysis of liberation movements has to be rooted in the dynamics of settler colonialism, which was advanced but repressive, and politically rigid, Southall points out.
In all three of the movements featured in the book the political settlements resulted in liberal democracies with capitalist economies, a retreat from socialism and an emphasis on majority rule. Party states and party machines have been erected with a decline in ideology and rapid class formation.
The book concludes with the "slow death of the liberation movements", as flawed organisations that threaten democracy. This does not refer to their defeat in elections, but their degeneration into the "party machine".
In his discussion, McKinley described this as an important book. He maintained that the notion of majoritarianism is not the problem, but rather whether it is going to be inclusive and fair or exclusive and intolerant. He also addressed the corporate role in the national democratic revolution, saying that in fact we have a corporate state.
Nieftagodien chose to look at liberation movements with a historical eye and ask what lessons we can learn from them. He said that Southall's employment of a comparative approach unsettles the notion of South African exceptionalism and allows us to look at the ambiguities the movements had to face. Southall's approach demonstrates the complexities of each period and the external and internal factors that shaped the choices that were made. Nieftagodien admitted to being worried that the sub-title may have referred to a notion of the "failed state" and he was pleased that this is not the case as it would have limited the analysis.
Nieftagodien referred to an admission by Ronnie Kasrils that at the moment of transition South Africa looked to other revolutions and thought that the main aim was to seize state power and the rest would fall into place. A compromise was made with corporate power and the national democratic revolution has in fact become the tool of a small black elite, tied to political power.
However, Southall said that he avoided a radical approach in Liberation Movement in Power as it can lead to unrealistic expectations and ignores a basic point – we may not like multi-national corporations but we have to live with them.

This past weekend I was going to a party at one of my work friend's home and I wanted to bring something I had prepared in my own kitchen. Not wanting to relive the Lime Tart experience from my last work party, I decided this time I would not bring a dessert. I had remembered seeing a recipe that was advertised as the "perfect party appetizer" in one of my magazines. How could I wish for anything more? If I was going to cook something, it should be "perfect" right? Well knowing that perfection is hard to achieve I didn't set my hopes too high. The recipe required me to make dough and I hadn't really ever made dough in a savory dish before. I was a little nervous about the final product but these little shrimp puffs did not disappoint. They were unique, tasty, easy to transport and fun to prepare. Everyone at the party seemed to really enjoy them and in actuality that is all I could really hope for!
Shrimp Toast Puffs with Sweet Chili Dipping Sauce
Cooking Light April 2008
1 pound peeled and deveined medium shrimp
2 bacon slices, diced
1/3 cup finely chopped green onions
1 1/2 teaspoons bottled ground fresh ginger (such as Spice World)
1 cup all-purpose flour (about 4 1/2 ounces)
1 cup water
3 tablespoons butter
1/2 teaspoon sugar
2 large egg whites
1 large egg
Cooking spray
Sweet chili sauce:
6 tablespoons sweet chili garlic sauce (such as Taste of Asia)
4 teaspoons seasoned rice vinegar
1. Preheat oven to 425°.
2. To prepare puffs, place shrimp in a food processor; pulse until finely chopped.
3. Cook bacon in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until crisp. Remove bacon from pan, reserving 2 teaspoons drippings in pan (reserve bacon for another use). Add shrimp to reserved drippings in pan, and saute 3 minutes. Add 1/3 cup green onions to pan; saute 1 minute. Stir in ginger.
4. Lightly spoon flour into a dry measuring cup; level with a knife. Combine 1 cup water, butter, and sugar in a large heavy saucepan; bring to a boil, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon. Reduce heat to low; add flour, stirring well until mixture is smooth and pulls away from sides of pan. Remove from heat.
Add egg whites and egg, 1 at a time; beat with a mixer at medium speed until smooth. Gently stir in shrimp mixture.
5. Drop dough by level tablespoons, 2 inches apart, onto baking sheets coated with cooking spray.
Bake at 425° for 10 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350° (do not remove puffs from oven); bake an additional 10 minutes or until browned and crisp.
6. To prepare sweet chili sauce, combine chili garlic sauce and 4 teaspoons vinegar in a small bowl, stirring with a whisk.
Serve sauce with shrimp puffs.

Paper Storage and Day #18
I said "think", because I thought I was finished it earlier today and then found some more card stock. Sure it was 8.5x11, but I still had to organize it.
I am planning to do a video on this in the future, but for today, I will share with you what I did.
I picked up these 3 bins for under $3.00 each.
The first bin holds my regular paper pads.
The second bin holds my vintage type paper pads.
The last bin holds my paper kits or speciality paper, velum, 12x12 die cut papers ect.
In the first white shelving unit I have my mini albums, some journals and chipboard books in the basket.
In the second white shelving unit I have 6x6 paper pads and my girl stamps on the bottom.
The third shelving unit holds the same as the second one.
I may change these around, we will see how it works as I go.
One of the best things about this is I only had to buy the bins as I had everything.
The other thing that is great about this is all my paper (except for my papers that I had separated by colour) are all here right in the open where I (and my friends) can see them :)
Day #18 "By Your Drink"
I would rather be enjoying a nice cold glass of Coca Cola, but since I am cutting that out and trying to be more healthy, I had to settle for a cold glass of water in my Coca Cola glass :)
Hope you all had a creative Wednesday :)
Tracy :)

This year Canada Day fell on Wednesday, I had that day as a holiday and my wife the Friday. I'm off to a slow start this season and took the opportunity to get some time on the bike. It was a grey morning, 60% POP, and I covered 150km before I met with rain.Living in the city, I need to sacrifice and hour or more to get to good roads. The problem with Muskoka is the thoughtless congestion on the weekends, during the summer. This wet Wednesday was light on traffic. It cleared as I rode through Bracebridge along Raymond Road, Windermere and Brackening Roads have new payment and wind through to Hwy 118.I was out for 6+ hours and stopped for lunch with friends.489kmNice day2005 K1200LT

10 years. Has it been that long?
Current mood:quixotic
It's the ten year anniversary of a lot of things in my life. A little more than 12 since I came to my new station. 10 years since the VOLS did anything (National Championship). And ten years (a little more, I guess) than the road I am on was taken.
Has it been that long? The easiest way to gauge time, is to look at a movie date. Such and such movie came out X years ago. Was it that that long ago? Then you think back. That movie came out, and I was where, doing what. Time has a funny way of picking up speed, once it passes you. We live in a day to day world. Sometimes hour to hour, or even minute to minute at times. And, when we look back, with that all-seeing crystal ball, it surprizes me, what I see. I guess I am at the 1/3 part of things. Maybe entering into the 1/4th. Not sure what that future brings. I know that I have 5 more working years in me, in the Fire Department, before they give me a photocopy of a picture of a gold watch, a pat on the back, and directions to the gate. Another 4 and my house, well home that I live in, will be paid off.
Ten years ago, we were under the thumb of the Democrats, with the Rapist-In-Chief, and the ex-First-Yenta, running the country into the ground. I hope and pray that we have only 4 more years of that nightmare before us. I doubt I could stomach 8, and the country will not survive that long.
Ten years ago, I was not speaking to my brother. And I hardly knew my sister and my other brother. A bunch of my uncles and aunts were still alive. And my mother, Vance, Inez, Flancher, Warner, Ailene, Billy Joe were all still with me. Though I had lost my father and grandmother about a year prior to that. My grandfather was still alive - spry, kicking, and raising hell. The aunts and uncles on my mothers side had not back-stabbed me yet.
I still have my old 5 speed Ranger, which I miss terribly. Until the clown on his cell phone ran into the car behind me, which hit me and threw me, and the Ranger into Interstate traffic, where I was hit by a 18 wheeler. The 18 wheeler won.
Ten years ago, Vista was not even a wet spot in Bill Gates pants. My computer ran like a charm. GAWD DAMN Bill Gates to Hell, for Vista.
Ten years ago, I was in the first stages of finding out that GAWD hears your prayers, and He heres your curses. And He is aware when you shake your fist at the sky. And he can take things away from you. Things that you wish you had back.
Ten years ago, the birch tree in the front year had not played havoc with the house yet.
Ten years ago, Beaner was still with us, and I revelled in the 147.400 Beaner 'Repeater'. And Earline still laughed at us, when we whisper talked to Beaner about taking him out to eat stuff he was not allowed to eat according to his doctor. My 3 dozen strong of close radio friends, still held court on a daily basis.
Ten years ago, I was angry. In the midst of a whirlwind of strife, that I could not comprehend. And about to lose my job over it.
Ten years ago, I still wore button down, with badge, uniforms at work. Sweating my ass off in the summertime. Ten years ago, I caught my boss in a bald-faced lie, and it has taken me 10+ years, to get past that.
Ten years ago, I took my second 2 of two major falls off of the Fire Trucks. Sealing my fate, in so much, and destroying my back.
Ten years ago, Jerry and Jessie ruled my house.
Ten years ago, Frank and his family were still good friends with me. Before I caught one of their kids stealing from me. It was the end of the BBS days as I knew them.
Ten years ago, I still had a head full of hair, as I still do today. But the grey in it was a long time coming. Crows feet, wrinkles, and Mean ol Mr. Gravity did not have a solid hold on me yet. Mr. Flab had a decent grip on me though.
Had it been that long? Has ten years passed so quickly, that in retrospect, it seems like a faded memory?
I guess it has. I am looking forward to the next ten years. Maybe I can find the piece of mind I am looking for. And the wisdom and the clarity of thought, to put it to good use.
We will see...

A Christian drug rehab program allows patients to use their faith to help them through their recovery. Through all of life's obstacles, religious faith can be a tremendous source of inspiration. It can allow people to draw upon strengths they never knew they had, and addiction recovery is no exception. Christian drug rehab is part of the faith-based drug treatment philosophy. It's so appealing because it gives patients something on which to focus - something to live for. Patients extract their willpower from scripture and from their faith to get them through the difficult treatment process. Many programs offer quality Christian support through traditional rehab methods, church services, bible study groups, etc. Christian drug rehab has proven enormously effective in the sustained sobriety of recovering addicts. Its combination of the 12-step philosophy, with its concept of "service to a higher power," and focus on religion-oriented activities have made it one of the more popular forms of alternative drug therapy.
The beginnings of the Christian drug rehab process are just like those of traditional rehabs. A patient will undergo detoxification and psychotherapy under the supervision of qualified health professionals. After that, there are numerous methods employed in an effort to keep patients clean and focused on service to their community and God, such as regular community church services, weekend retreats, group therapies, various community enterprises, fundraisers, etc. Graduates of Christian rehabs often wind up becoming more active members in their church than when they started their program.
Since there are those without the financial means to enroll in a quality traditional rehab, a number of churches and faith-based groups have set up free Christian drug rehab programs as part of their philanthropic efforts. Usually acquired through fundraising and community-oriented events, separate funds allocated to rehab programs assure that the care is every bit as good as that of a reputable traditional drug rehab center. These programs are open to any addict willing to embrace the tenets of Christian-based therapy, and exhibit a positive attitude toward recovery and personal empowerment.
If you or someone close to you needs help defeating their drug addiction, and is willing to put their service to God before servicing their habit, please call us. The National Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Information Center (NASAIC) maintains a continuously updated national database of the leading Christian drug rehab centers in the United States.

Kaor, Paul!
Also, there is honor in soldiers and warriors fighting each other openly and up front, face to face. Such people generally volunteered for the soldier's life, and knew it was dangerous. There is nothing honorable in terrorist atrocities designed to kill as many civilians as possible.

However, the burning building results not from terrorism but from negligence in high places. This should be easier to address by legal means.

Kaor, Paul!
Broadly, a building burns from two different causes, accident or arson. If accidental, that too has two subdivisions: sheerly accidental and all reasonable precautions were taken to prevent or minimize harm from a fire; or carelessness and negligence. The latter will slide over to become crimes like "depraved indifference," etc. Arson, of course, is always and every where a crime carrying stiff criminal punishments.

Report: Companies improving underride guards
We have uncovered new information relating to an NBC2 investigation we brought you last month that affects every driver on the road.
We found underride guards failing at an alarming rate. They are the barriers on the backs of semi-trucks that are supposed to stop cars from crashing under them.
A national agency is calling for the federal government to get involved to prevent the deaths that are happening across the country.
In a previous article, we talked about a police officer who rear-ended a semi on his way home from work. He was killed because the truck's underride guard had failed.
But new numbers released Thursday by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety show that some companies are starting to improve the guards.
"Our new research shows that trailer manufacturers are fitting their trailers with new underride guards to prevent this. Some manufacturers still have some work to do," said Donald Zuby, with the Insurance Institute.
After dozens of new crash tests, Zuby says the institute discovered, "If the guard stays in tact, the sensors in our dummies tell us that the chance for a life threatening injury is very low."
That happens if guards are designed with extra reinforcement.
The stronger guards are exactly what the Insurance Institute wants and National Highway Transportation Safety Administration says on its website that they are reviewing the study and they believe computer models of the crashes could help improve the design of the guards.
There is no word on what that will happen.

Quite a week, eh?
Full of Bron Bron and Chickens. Oh, and that pesky jobs crisis.
The week is ending with a particularly amusing video from the Ohio Dems making charges that Kasich has been spending all his time in NYC and ignoring Ohio.
The amusing part? Kasich was in NYC for less than 24 hours. A number of the clips in their video were actually recorded in Ohio. Even Glenn Beck says "From Ohio". (nice editing there, fellas) They also claim Kasich had a book signing in NYC. Which is a lie. Of course, this comes from the same guys who claimed Kasich said he didn't want LeBron in Cleveland. Which also was a lie. And a weird one, at that. But hey, I'm sure Kasich appreciates the free publicity for his book. However, considering its already #7 on the NYT Bestseller list, maybe it's not even needed.
At the end of the day, the charge against Kasich that he's out of Ohio too much is particularly silly when you look at how many times Strickland has ran from his responsibilities. After all, a report from the Dispatch all the way back in March showed that Strickland had taken 26(!) out of state trips for fundraising purposes just in 2009 and through 3 months of 2010. Wonder what he's up to by now...
But I guess all that straining from the Dems to talk about anything but the issues that matter to Ohioans can take it's toll. But at least they're trying. As opposed to Mary Jo Kilroy who has taken to sleeping on the job.
But enough politics.
Where's the fun stuff, you ask?
Well, my 2nd favorite youtube of the week combines OK Go and the Muppets. It's hard to go wrong with that combo.
And of course we now have the USA now in the elimination rounds of the World Cup.
They play Ghana tomorrow afternoon, and of course, I'm going to miss it thanks to a poorly scheduled wedding of a friend. Is it bad form to keep checking twitter for updates when the couple is exchanging vows? Hmmm...
But I leave you with this absolutely fantastic video of reactions to Landon Donovan's dramatic goal against Algeria. They come from across the United States and around the world...and if this doesn't help you appreciate the World Cup, nothing will.
Enjoy your weekend, everyone.

He is Risen. He is Risen Indeed!
Today is the most important celebration for all of the world. For three days over two centuries ago Christ was crucified on the cross for the sins of all mankind. But death had no hold on Him! He suffered and conquered the fires of hell and on the third day he rose again from the grave alive and well. He paid for and took away all of our sins. He walked on the earth for forty days after arising from the dead teaching the apostles about how we should live. He then rose into heaven to return again some day. He taught us that to have eternal life with him it is simple. Place your faith in Jesus and confess your sins. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16. God bless you, chris

Hennie van Vuuren and Michael Marchant discuss seven key concepts in Apartheid Guns and Money
The apartheid state was at war. For two decades before 1994, while internal resistance grew, mandatory sanctions prohibited the sale of strategic goods and arms to South Africa.
The last white regime was confronted with an existential threat.
A global covert network of nearly 50 countries was constructed to counter sanctions. In complete secrecy, allies in corporations, banks, governments and intelligence agencies helped move cash, illegally supply guns and create the apartheid arms money machine. Whistleblowers were assassinated and ordinary people suffered.
This is an exposé of that machinery created in defence of apartheid and the people who made this possible: heads of state, arms dealers, aristocrats, plutocrats, senators, bankers, spies, journalists and members of secret lobby groups.
They were all complicit in a crime against humanity. Motivated by ideology or kinship most sought to simply profit from the war.
Many have until now relied on lingering silence to erase the uncomfortable truth.
This meticulously researched book lifts the lid on some of the darkest secrets of apartheid's economic crimes, weaving together material collected in over two-dozen archives in eight countries with an insight into tens of thousands of pages of newly declassified documents.
Networks of state capture persist in our democratic political system because the past and present are interconnected. In forging its future a new generation needs to grapple with the persistent silence regarding apartheid-era economic crime and ask difficult questions of those who benefited from it.
This book provides the evidence and the motivation to do so.
Hennie van Vuuren is an activist, writer and Director of Open Secrets, focusing on accountability for economic crimes and human rights violations. He works from within civil society, challenging corruption and the abuse of power.
Here, Van Vuuren and Michael Marchant, a researcher at Open Secrets, expand on seven key concepts found in this remarkable book:
Secrecy breeds corruption
PW Botha's apartheid government relied on legislated secrecy to shield his government's economic crimes from scrutiny. In this context even government oversight bodies were prohibited from seeing into the arms procurement world, corruption thrived. Journalists were shut down and persecuted, and the public interest suffered. This is why current indications from the South African government of a move back toward securitization and secrecy should so concern us. It is also why South Africans must guard against the intimidation and pressure on investigative journalists who continue to tell the vital stories of state capture and corruption today.
Who funded the National Party?
Large South African corporations and their leaders went to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission and argued that they had never supported apartheid and that it was 'bad for business'. The archival records of the National Party and its leaders PW Botha and FW de Klerk tell a different story. There we found the annual cheques from business giants from all sectors, made out to the National Party, and often accompanied by fawning letters of praise to the party's leadership. From billionaires like Christo Wiese to media giant Naspers, South African corporations were willing to grease the apartheid political machine.
Their influence was always suspected, but secrecy around the funding of political parties prevented the public from truly knowing how these relationships operated, and what they may have received in return. This problem persists today, with secrecy allowing big money to corrupt political parties and South African politics more broadly. Reform is desperately needed and must be demanded.
Kredietbank and the Arms Money Machine
While Swiss banks and their executives enjoyed cosy relationships with the apartheid state and private sector, profiting vastly off selling South African gold, it was a Belgian bank and its Luxembourg subsidiary that was at the centre of apartheid's money laundering machine that was essential in keeping apartheid armed in times of the UN embargoes. Kredietbank Luxembourg, in exchange for vast profits, helped Armscor establish a global money laundering network of secret bank accounts and shell companies in order to bust the UN arms embargo against apartheid.
Based on the evidence we gathered Apartheid Guns & Money identified over 800 such bank accounts and over 100 secret companies between Panama and Liberia.

The Grizzlies are a little bit of an enigma. With young talent at almost every position and aging gunners at every other, they are a strange mix of players. Nonetheless, they remain a talented bunch with scorers galore. Still, don't look for the talent to translate into too many wins.
Jay – Whether or not Hasheem Thabeet turns out to be a bust. Even without any semblance of an offensive game, Thabeet could still make a huge impact due to his size, athleticism and shotblocking ability.
Tommy - OJ Mayo; He's a special talent with the ability to play lockdown defense, but he needs to grow as a leader and cut down on turnovers and bad shots. Especially with notorious gunners AI and Zach Randolph in town. But if THIS quote (from Mayo's DraftExpress profile) doesn't make you think Mayo will succeed, nothing will…
"He pushes himself as much as any player I've seen" Mike Procopio noted. "I've never seen a guy who is more focused than him. I feel bad for the guys who will have to work out against him. He reminds me of Clubber Lang [played by Mr. T] in Rocky 3 with the way he trained for that fight against Rocky. Rocky was in the disco having fun, and Clubber Lang was in some hole in the wall doing chin-ups. The guy is a nut when it comes to working out. You can see it in his eyes, he wants to be great. He'll spend all day doing something until he gets it right. The kid cannot fail. He will not fail. He's fearless. Some kids listen to the crowd around them, who tell them how good they are. They live on the hype. They live off the rankings of the scouting services around the country. He doesn't. He wants to rip your heart out, serve it to you on a plate, and then do it again. The kid is a killer, he's a total killer on the court. He'll be a special player."
TJ - Allen Iverson seems to be rejuvenated in Memphis and feels he has a chip on his shoulder to prove to the world that his career is not over just yet. (Note that I never said it was over; I believe he will make a solid impact in Memphis)
Biggest question mark:
Jay – How many gunners does it take to build a successful team? With a whole bunch of shot-first players, the Grizzlies are ready to test it out.
Tommy - Does Mike Conley have a chance? A truly spectacular player for Ohio State, Conley hasn't shown much explosiveness in the League and looks physically overmatched at times. Doesn't help he's had to deal with selfish players, but that's his reality now with Zach , AI and OJ around.
TJ - Zach Randolph is at a crossroads in terms of his NBA career. Will he come back to the good side or will he continue to burn his career away on the dark side? (Note: the city of Memphis might be too dangerous for Randolph to live. Did you ever hear this quote from Randolph's high school coach? "I just don't want the day to come where I pick up that paper and it says [Zach] shot someone, or that he was shot. Every day that goes by that I don't see that, I feel good.")
Most compelling storyline:
Jay – Allen Iverson's shot at redemption. Iverson has done so much over his career that it would truly be a shame for people to remember him for last year's underwhelming performance. If he can coax a few more wins out of this young bunch, it would go a long way towards sealing his legacy as one of the game's greats. If not, he may be remembered in all the wrong ways. This is how he SHOULD be remembered…
Tommy - An outstanding collection of me-first gunners. AI. Zach Randolph. Rudy Gay. OJ Mayo.
TJ – While playing with the USA Select Team this summer, Rudy Gay apparently made a strong case for him to be on the 2012 Dream Team. The recognition he is beginning to receive around the league could translate into newfound confidence that makes him among the elite players in the NBA. I believe Rudy Gay will make his first all-star appearance this season.
Player to watch:
Jay – Marc Gasol. If you haven't seen this kid play, you're missing out. One of the better young low-post talents in the game today.
Tommy - Sam Young; I love this kid; ferocious competitior, good athlete, great defender. But how will he develop in this atmosphere?
TJ - OJ Mayo, who will be mentored by Allen Iverson. People forget who AI is but they will remember when they see a bigger version of him developing over the next few years in Mayo. Watch out because Mayo is the real deal and he is a work horse on a mission to become great.
Projected Record:
Jay – 30-52
Tommy – 26-56

A phenomenal umbrella project, which most of the projects they support have strong ties to humanitarian projects. Even better is while most people might not understand the science that goes in behind each of the projects, the names give clearly defined goals for the projects. There really is a project for everyone, whether you are getting increasingly concerned about the water supply, or want to try and help eliminate diseases, and ease suffering of those who are ill.
I crunch world Community Grid, because its a great way to help the world through science. In my profile settings, I am signed up for every single project available, though I have a feeling due to the greater system requirements for the Clean Energy Project, there are fewer people crunching that project, which leads to those that do getting a larger number of Clean Energy Project tasks.

Going to the gym and training by myself has presented me with a new obstacle to overcome. As I was driving to the gym this morning I realized that this "drag myself out the door" mentality was exactly the same thing I experienced back in my running days. Even though I looked forward to running and enjoyed the run itself, most days I would find myself struggling to get out the door; however, the moment I put on my shoes and shut the door behind me, my attitude flipped like a light switch and I was happy to be running. This is what I am currently experiencing whenever I need to go to the gym. I want to train. I am committed to training and won't skip a session, but getting out of the house is a reluctant process. I'd like to think this will change in time as I grow more comfortable in my new gym surroundings and get to know the people there. And even if it doesn't change, at least I know that I am focused, determined, and committed to doing what I need to do to reach my goals.
1. deficit deadlifts (2-2×1)
warm up: 95 lbs x 6, 135 x 5, 165 x 4
main event: 195 x 5, 195 x 5, 195 x 5
Oh boy! So, I put my belt on beginning with my second warm up set. I generally wait longer to use my belt, but since the back has been achy for the past week I figured I'd play it safe. I was in the midst of my second working set, when I suddenly realized why the deadlifts were feeling so easy today…I had forgotten all about the deficit and was doing regular deadlifts! Oops! I considered sticking with the conventional for the final set but ultimately chose to grab a plate and get at least one set of deficits in. Definitely a difference with the deficit! Yet, I think they still felt better than they did last week, and the back was less irritated during the sets.
2. incline bench (3-1×0)
45 lbs x 8, 55 x 15, 55 x 12, 55 x 10
These also felt better than last week!
3. stiff legged deadlifts (3-1×0)
105 lbs x 15, 105 x 8
Unlike last week, there was chalk in the box at the gym today, which meant I was able to maintain a solid grip for all of my deadlift reps. A solid grip helps make the reps feel easier…at least a little bit.
4a. side plank
x 30 seconds each, x 30, x 15
4b. barbell row
65 lbs x 12, 65 x 12, 65 x 10

|Ezio, my friend! How may I be of service?
This article is in desperate need of a revamp. Please improve it in any ways necessary in order to achieve a higher standard and follow our Manual of Style.
|Here we seek to open the minds of men.
This article is a stub and is in need of expansion. You can help the Assassin's Creed Wiki by expanding it.
Lo Sparviero (English: The Hawk) was a member of the Italian Brotherhood of Assassins, active in Rome, Florence and Monteriggioni during the Renaissance.
Lo Sparviero played an important role in the struggle between the Assassins and Templars, mainly during the rise of a mysterious organization affiliated with the Borgias, the Crows.
Early life
Prior to 1501, Lo Sparviero was tasked with assassinating one of Florence guards, but while carrying out his mission, he was discovered by other guards. After having cleared a bloody path among them, he had to flee, climbing one of the churches of the city to escape.
Fighting the Crows
In 1501, Lo Sparviero was tasked with eliminating Borgia mercenaries disguised as tax collectors inside the walls of Monteriggioni. The three Borgia mercenaries were successfully assassinated, and the later, the Assasins found out that the mercenaries were a distraction and that one of Mario Auditore's hidden chests underneath Villa Auditore, in the Auditore Family Crypt, had been stolen.
Lo Sparviero was later tasked with assassinating Pietro de Galencia, a Templar doctor in Monteriggioni who was responsible for the stolen chest. Pietro's mission was to find and steal the blueprints of the Hidden Blade, hidden in the Assassins' hideout, and to accomplish his mission, Pietro kidnapped and tortured an old man, father of an Assassin, into telling him the location of the chest. Lo Sparviero managed to assassinate him, however, Pietro had already delivered the chest to the Templars.
In 1506, Lo Sparviero was tasked with protecting Leonardo da Vinci from a group known as "the Crows" after he had been kidnapped by the Hermeticists, led by Ercole Massimo. The Crows were staved off and Leonardo was kept safe by the Assassin.
Some time later, Lo Sparviero found the chest that had been stolen from Monteriggioni years ago. Machiavelli tasked three Assassin apprentices with the mission of recovering the chest, however, the three of them were killed by the Templars. In retaliation, Machiavelli sent Lo Sparviero himself to recover the chest and avenge the fallen Assassins. He succeeded in his mission and brought back the chest, as well as the Hidden Blades of the apprentices. Machiavelli opened the chest, and found a modified version of the Hidden Blade.
After that, Machiavelli received a letter from Demetrio il Silente, a weaponsmith that was forced to create modified versions of the Hidden Blade for the Crows. When the weaponsmith refused to continue creating more weapons for him, Cesare cut his tongue. This caused Demetrio to plot against Cesare, asking Machiavelli for help. Lo Sparviero managed to save Demetrio by bribing the captains of the guard. The Assassin took Demetrio to Machiavelli, where the weaponsmith confirmed that the modified Hidden Blade that they had recovered was a "Corvix Blade", an upgraded version of the Hidden Blade created with the blueprints stolen from Mario's chest.
Machiavelli, after noticing some strange events happening near the Colosseum, sent Lo Sparviero to investigate. He discovered a large amount of boxes full of Corvix blades and that the Crows were responsable.The Assassin then decided to kill the camp's leader, a man called Matteo. Lo Sparviero followed Matteo to the top of the Colosseum, where he killed him.
The Assassins then took over the camp, driving out the Crows and capturing a bald man who was previously seen talking to Matteo by Lo Sparviero. He said his name was Sirus Favero and claimed to be a mere arms merchant working for Cesare, although confessing his hatred towards the Borgias. Machiavelli decided to let to Sirus join them as long as he told them all he knew about Cesare and the Crows.
- Lo Sparviero is the first main protagonist of the franchise whose appearance, class and true identity can be customized by players.

PASCO -- A 28-year-old man who allegedly was interrupted while trying to steal about 2,800 feet of insulated copper wire scrapped from an irrigation circle faces trial Aug. 25.
Ramon Galvez Jaimes of Pasco pleaded innocent Tuesday in Franklin County Superior Court to second-degree theft.
The Franklin County Sheriff's Office was called May 9 about a theft in progress in a field at Crestloch Road and Highway 395. Deputy Mark Boyer arrived to find an empty green Jeep Cherokee and a red utility trailer.
The Jeep and trailer were backed up to the property owner's scrap pile. The cable for an electric winch, which was hooked up to the tongue of the trailer, was attached to a pile of control wire, court documents said. The wire was partially loaded onto the bed of the utility trailer, documents said.
"It appeared the suspect had been interrupted during the theft," sheriff's Detective Lee Barrow wrote in court documents.
Owner Edward Ochoa reportedly told Boyer that the Jeep had been on his property earlier in the day. A man and woman were inside and asked Ochoa for a person by name, court documents said. Ochoa said he didn't recognize the name, and the Jeep drove away.
Deputies found a bill of sale in the Jeep for Jaimes and learned he had sold scrap copper wire just days before at a recycling center, documents said. He allegedly was then driving the same Jeep.
Ochoa picked Jaimes out of a photo montage as being the man on his property that day before the wire theft. No one had permission to be on his property and take the wire, which has an estimated value of $1,200.
Jaimes is being held on $5,000 bail.
California man sentenced to prison in jewelry heist
PASCO -- A California man was sentenced to six years and five months in prison for stealing more than $9,000 in jewelry from a Pasco store.
Eduardo Fajardo-Casillas, 31, pleaded guilty to being one of the gun-toting robbers in the October 2008 crime.
Three men reportedly had been "casing" La Joyeria Alex store just before going into the North Fifth Avenue business, court documents said. The suspects went into the store two separate times before walking in at 11:47 a.m. and telling the owner he was being robbed.
The front door then was locked as two guns were pointed at the victim.
Fajardo-Casillas grabbed two counter jewelry displays and one box display after another suspect loaded a bullet into his gun's chamber and threatened the owner, documents said.
Fajardo-Casillas and his accomplices later were arrested in the Yakima Valley on unrelated crimes.
In addition to the new guilty plea to first-degree robbery, his criminal history includes two convictions each for first-degree robbery and theft of a motor vehicle. He must help pay $7,059 in restitution to La Joyeria Alex.
Pasco man charged in indecent liberties case
PASCO -- A 35-year-old man is accused of inappropriately touching a prepubescent boy three times over a two-month period.
Jose de Jesus Reveles Plata of Pasco pleaded innocent to indecent liberties, a felony. The charge states that Reveles Plata caused the victim "to have sexual contact with him by forcible compulsion."
Child Protective Services first called Pasco police on June 18 about an alleged incident. Through the investigation, officers learned Reveles Plata had grabbed the boy over his clothes and ordered him to try to whistle, court documents said.
Reveles Plata had told the boy, "it was a game they played in Mexico," documents said.
His trial is set for Aug. 18.

Pardon me for being cynical but quell surprise.
In a near-party line vote this afternoon the U.S. Senate voted against debating a military funding bill that included an amendment for the Dream Act. The 56-43 vote was four Senators short of being able to invoke cloture on the motion to proceed with the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).
The measure received strong support from Latino lawmakers such as Luis Gutierrez who in a letter called the Dream Act a "common sense piece of legislation" designed to help "talented and deserving immigrant students." Other congressmen like Sen. Scott Brown disagreed and deemed it as a "form of amnesty to certain illegal immigrants."
The Dream Act would provide a path for citizenship to illegal immigrant youth under certain strict criteria. Those eligible would receive conditional legal residency for six years, then two years to graduate college with a minimum bachelor's degree or successfully serve in the armed forces. The National Immigration Law Center has allegedly estimated that about 725,000 undocumented youth would benefit from the Dream Act if it ever becomes signed into law.
Both Democrats and Republicans have accused each other of political posturing leading in to today's vote. Despite playing a key role in backing a failed 2007 stab at bipartisan immigration reform Sen. John McCain threatened to lead a filibuster against the NDAA. Opponents to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid claimed that he tacked on the Dream Act to the NDAA in order to gain Latino support for his reelection campaign. (Reid was one of three Democrats to back blocking the bill though he reportedly did so "as a procedural tactic.")
The Dream Act has mobilized Latino youth in favor of the measure and to take part in protests and other acts of defiance. (The image above came from demonstrators who spelled out their opinion with their bodies on a Floridian beach). "We tell them we're targeting Republicans and Democrats. There can be no more excuses," said one student to ABC News after he took part in a sit-in at Sen. Diane Feinstein's Washington office.

Here is a photo of the Fujairah waters at sunset. It was taken by Delson Roche and posted on one of his web sites with the caption, "The last boat sails back to the docks at Fujairah."
Check out Delson's site at DelsonClicks and find the links to his other sites on which he has posted black and whites, photos of animals and another section devoted to flowers.
He is a terrific photographer and I am grateful to Delson for his permission to post this fine picture of Fujairah.

Jen's top ten tips for living gluten-free include:
1. Find a local support group that can help when you are newly diagnosed or have questions along your journey.
2. Find a local grocery or health food store that will allow you to taste the gluten-free products before you buy them.
3. Start taking classes to learn how to prepare gluten-free foods.
4. Experiment in the kitchen and don't be afraid to try new foods and products.
5. Make sure you have a "safe" kitchen. Clean your kitchen well and purchase some necessary new items (such as a toaster) to avoid cross-contamination.
6. Enlist your family and friends in supporting you in your new lifestyle.
7. Find some great websites and blogs that fit your gluten-free needs. See my list on the right side of this page.
8. Locate a safe restaurant where you can eat during times when you don't feel like cooking. Eventually, you will be able to educate chefs at more restaurants. But in the beginning, find a place that you know you can go to and not get sick.
9. Carry gluten-free snacks with you in case a hunger attack strikes. You can't depend on the fact that safe food will be available.
10. Relax and enjoy your gluten-free journey. You will learn about great new foods and meet wonderful new people along the way.
For gluten-free support:

The word "remote" means something other than located far way or distant in manner.
You find hanging out a bar, without getting paid, a total waste of time.
You've stood in hundreds of new car dealership parking lots and yet you've never owned a new car.
You remember what album covers looked like.
You can't remember the last time you paid for concert tickets.
Your high school friends know you by a different name than everyone else.
You have that recurring dream—song ending, can't get back to studio.
You're listening to the radio and you hear dead air you start saying to yourself "push the button!"
You can limit your bathroom runs to two minutes.
Saying "nice cans" to a female co-worker is not considered harassment. Neither is requesting that she "keep it tight."
When driving, you talk up the intro to songs on the radio.
Over 80% of your wardrobe contains a station/client/ or event logo.
"Pot it up" is not a reference to drug use.
You call them "spots" instead of "commercials"

Not surprisingly John Lloyd has resigned as Britain's Davis Cup captain, but the problem is clearly not the captain. He picked the players he had available to him, but they simply were not good enough. Lloyd has criticised Andy Murray for not making himself available, but the fact that he didn't play highlighted the appalling weakness in the men's game in Britain. Even if Dan Evans had won the fifth set, and therefore the tie, the situation with the state of British tennis would be unaltered.
The LTA deserve some criticism, but making them the scapegoat for everything that is wrong means that we are not addressing the real issues. Inevitably after a defeat like this the amount of money the LTA receive is highlighted, with the implicit assumption that they should be able to produce world beating players with the millions they have available for player development. However the problems are at grass roots level: the clubs are not producing the players with the required talent and motivation, and are never likely to.
In Britain, tennis is for the most part a recreation and not a sport, and the problem is with the private tennis clubs: they are generally self-funding and run by their members as a social club, and the LTA has no real say in how these private clubs are run. I was chairman of such a club for a few years and I know that most committee members want their club run as a social club where mostly middle-aged people can get a friendly game of doubles. Many clubs do not consider that tennis development is really anything to do with them - in fact they expect that people who want to join the club already know how to play. Juniors are tolerated at best, coaching is poor or non-existent (and too expensive for most families), and competitive opportunities are limited. In my experience juniors find the average club deeply unattractive, and most of the talented players generally leave and take up other sports.
I believe the only way forward is to create another layer of sports tennis clubs at grass roots level, orientated around juniors, single play, development and competition. This could probably only be done by cooperating with local authorities and schools. This would be difficult to achieve and probably very expensive, but unless we address this problem tennis in the UK is doomed to continual failure.

Here we go with yet another of those propaganda videos for Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus and this time it is one to show us just how the Nazis would have handled American pop culture if they would have won WWII. At least this is how Machine Games has pictured it all in the alternative history view they have for the game. While I have a feeling we won't see German… Or Else! actually in Wolfenstein II, these videos do give us a fun way on how to look at the world that they are building. Although it does make me wonder a bit more on how Bethesda is handling all of this marketing in Germany directly, but we'll let them worry about that for now. Or maybe get "re-educated" along the way.
Anyways, just as before, there is little in the way of new gameplay for Wolfenstein II here in the new extended video here. That wasn't the goal though as it is all supposed to help us understand how the world is now and get a feel for it all. It should also be there to help spurn the idea and anger that BJ has in the game upon us as well. At least us if we are talking in terms of the non-Nazi party members of the world. That and to keep us locked into all of the Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus stuff as we wait for more for the actual game as we wait for October 27th to finally roll around.
Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus — German… Or Else!
It's not enough for the Nazis to simply subjugate the planet. That's why they are even imposing their will on pop culture, taking what would have been iconic American TV shows and producing them with a uniquely German attitude. Watch an episode of German… or Else! right now to get a feel for life under Nazi tyranny in Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus.
Do these videos give you a better feel for the world of Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus or just filler that can be ignored? Do you think that we will see these finer details of the state of the people in the game or will these be the best ways even after launch? DO you think we may get to see a side mission where we liberate people from this game show or will it forever just be fluff? Let us and the free world know down in the comments and then discuss. For more on Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus, be sure to stick around here as we will have it and we wouldn't want to have to send you off for re-education and other lessons…

Bournemouth and Poole are located on the South of England, and are popular holiday destinations in the Summer months as holiday makers flock to the warm South Coast to enjoy the sunshine and relax on the beach.
Bournemouth Beach is one of the best beaches in England - it is several miles of golden sand, the waves can also reach a decent height (for England) and is therefore popular with surfers. The beach can get crowded in the height of Summer so I would recommend getting there early to get a good spot!
Bournemouth Beach
Sandbanks is a coastal region located between Poole and Bournemouth. It is currently the 4th most expensive area in the world to buy land on - many of the houses are well in excess of £5 million. The main housing street in the peninsula is aptly named "milionnaires row" due to the sky-high prices in the region. Recently a bungalow that was pretty much in a derelict state went on sale for £4 million, indicating the demand for land in Sandbanks. Sandbanks Beach is another highly popular beach, about 3 miles long and boasting extremely high quality for an English beach. There are also a range of activities on the beach such as canoeing. A crazy golf course is another popular destination - a good bit of fun for the whole family.
Poole is a good place to go as well when the weather is nice - it offers a wealth of boat trips, as well as many restaurants with good food. Brownsea Island, just opposite Poole Quay, is a little National Trust Island and is worth a look around, you can walk round the whole island in a couple of hours. It is also one of the few places left in the UK where red squirrels still live in the wild.
The Dorset coastline is one of the best holiday destinations in the UK, due to its fine beaches and range of other activities aside from the obvious sunbathing. It is definitely worth a visit.

We've been on Spring Break here for the past week. Though, frankly, I'm not exactly sure what that means when you're home schoolers. As far as I'm concerned, it means I don't have to remind anybody to do anything. The girls had a rather long list of things they wanted to do and places they wanted to go. And, of course, there's still swim team practice to go to, twice a day, every day. This was further complicated by the fact that all the other families in our carpool went out of town, skiing...together(hey, does that mean something?). All this adds up to not as much uninterrupted time to work as I had envisioned for Spring Break.
Today was different. My husband took the day off and took all three girls to Six Flags/ Fiesta Texas in San Antonio. So, this is what I did on my real vacation day.I took pictures of the scarf I recently completed. I probably worked on this baby off and on for six months. I finally pushed through to the end and finished it the other day. This being Texas and March at that, I probably won't need it until next winter, but I really enjoy all the texture in this pattern and the yarn is a super soft alpaca.
I then finished machine quilting this and began binding it. I had, stupidly assumed that sewing the binding on would be fairly quick. I didn't account for the fact that I didn't want the binding to contrast with the body of the quilt, so I had to construct it out of little strips that matched the edges of the quilt(that doesn't really make any sense, but I'm comfortable with that). Long, and uninteresting, story short, it took hours to sew the binding on and I'm still in the process of hand sewing it to the backside of the quilt.
It's a well known fact that you can only spend so many hours hand sewing binding, so I took a little break and made this:A pillow top with the leftovers from some of the commercial fabrics I've been discharging and over dyeing.

CHICAGO, Oct. 13, 2011 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- Laurence Klinger, chief creative officer of Lapiz, a Hispanic advertising agency operating within the Leo Burnett Group, was named HispanicAd.com's Creative Director of the Year last night at the annual AHAA advertising conference in Miami, Florida.
"It is a true honor to be voted best by your peers," Klinger said. "This award really belongs to all the people of Lapiz - it wouldn't be possible without their immense talent and dedication."
In 1988, Klinger founded the Hispanic division of Leo Burnett, now known as Lapiz, with only one account, Procter & Gamble, and two people. Prior to Lapiz, he served as a creative director for Leo Burnett Sao Paulo. In 1986, he was transferred to Chicago and worked as a creative director on major accounts such as United Airlines, Heinz, P&G, Kraft, Kellogg's and Sony before starting Lapiz. Klinger has won numerous awards at prestigious industry shows including seven lions at Cannes, Clios and Effies. With nearly two decades of creative direction under Klinger, Lapiz was recently named the number one Hispanic advertising agency in the U.S. by Adictivo Magazine.
Previously produced by advertising trade publication Advertising Age, the HispanicAd.com's creative advertising awards at the annual AHAA conference were sponsored this year by creative community, Circulo Creativo. Creative Director of the Year is a peer-appointed award designated by the readers of HispanicAd.com.
"It says a lot to be voted the best by peers of the advertising, media and PR industries nationwide," said Dolores Kunda, president and chief executive officer of Lapiz. "Laurence's creative direction and experience has positioned Lapiz as a leader in Hispanic advertising."

Kings vs. Rangers: Game 4 Score and Twitter Reaction from 2014 Stanley Cup FinalJune 12, 2014
With their Stanley Cup Final hopes dangling by a thread, the New York Rangers rose to the occasion and earned a 2-1 victory in Game 4 on Wednesday night in Madison Square Garden.
If the Kings were to lift Lord Stanley's Cup, they'd have to go through Henrik Lundqvist, who, as SportsCenter pointed out, was unbeaten in his last seven postseason elimination games at home:
Lundqvist was also looking to rebound from his subpar performance in Game 3, in which he surrendered three goals on 15 shots.
"I feel like I've been playing my game," Lundqvist said before Game 4, per A.J. Perez of NJ.com. "I have been feeling pretty good, but in the end, giving up three goals it's tough to win."
Although Lundqvist hasn't been at his best in this series, all it takes is one game for "King Henrik" to ascend to his throne as one of the best goaltenders in the league. Wednesday night was the return of the king.
The three-time All-Star made 40 saves in the win, every one of which was vital. The Rangers attempted only 19 shots, with just one coming in the third period. New York leaned heavily on Lundqvist, and he remained steadfast under the heavy burden.
Of course, even the best need a little luck sometimes.
With a little over a minute left in the game, there was a scramble in front of the net. The puck slipped under Lundqvist and looked headed for goal. However, it stopped dead on the goal line, and Derek Stepan quickly slapped it away from danger:
Wednesday was simply New York's night.
Benoit Pouliot got the team off to a hot start in the first period, scoring seven minutes and 25 seconds into the game. The winger was in the right place at the right time, redirecting the puck into the back of the net.
Martin St. Louis doubled the Rangers' lead 6:27 into the second period. Stepan's pass to Chris Kreider hit the stick of Alec Martinez. Off the redirection, the puck slid under the pad of Jonathan Quick, leaving St. Louis with an open net for the easy finish.
After an indifferent regular season in New York, St. Louis has found his footing in the playoffs, per NHL Public Relations:
Of course a 2-0 lead sounds good on paper, but that's been a sign of impending doom for New York in this series, per this incredible stat from ESPN Stats and Info:
Dustin Brown had Rangers fans everywhere expecting the worst when he scored at 8:46 to make it a 2-1 game in the second period. He had a great individual effort on the breakaway to beat Lundqvist.
Jeff Carter nearly tied the game with a little over a minute left in the second period. He got in behind the Rangers defense, allowing himself an open shot on the goaltender. Lundqvist was up to the task, though, stopping the shot with his left pad.
As Sporting News' Jesse Spector pointed out, Dan Girardi was a few inches away from being the goat, as he allowed Carter to zoom past along the boards and cut inside for a shot on goal:
The Kings continued peppering the Rangers netminder, but he denied Los Angeles at every opportunity. This was the Lundqvist of old, rather than the Lundqvist of the first three games of this series.
As ESPN tweeted out, he had his eyes firmly focused on the prize:
Game 5 is scheduled for Friday night at 8 p.m. ET at the Staples Center. Los Angeles hasn't been untouchable at home, losing four out of 11 home games so far in this year's playoffs. Still, the Kings will relish having home-ice advantage and a chance to close out the series.
They themselves proved in first round that 3-0 isn't an insurmountable deficit. The Rangers have to take the rest of the series one game at a time, as cliche as that sounds.
When Lundqvist is playing this well, New York is extremely hard to beat.

And they're also pretty good for swatting flies and biffing your kids round the head according to the Sydney Morning Herald. E-books, it seems, are *yawn* so last year.
Clearing through some of the nice things I'd marked for blogging but not got round to, I found this quote by novelist John Lancaster:
Personally, I think that books are going to be OK, for one main reason: books are not only, or not primarily, the information they contain. A book is also an object, and a piece of technology; in fact, a book is an extraordinarily effective piece of technology, portable, durable, expensive to pirate but easy to use, not prone to losing all its data in crashes, and capable of taking an amazing variety of beautiful forms.

11.1 The Commission is required under Article
12 of the EU Shipbuilding Regulation to present to the Council
a regular report on the market situation and to appraise whether
European yards are affected by anti-competitive shipbuilding practices
of any kind. On 29 November 2000, we reported on the third Commission
report. It showed that Korean yards were still offering ships
at below-cost price and that of the seven newly-investigated orders
covered by the report, four have had an impact on EU yards. In
our report, we outlined the various actions the Commission proposed
to tackle Korean low pricing. We noted that these proposals were
to be discussed at the Industry Council in December and we asked
the Minister to report the outcome.
The Minister's letter
11.2 In his letter of 14 December 2000,
the Minister for Competitiveness at the Department of Trade and
Industry (Mr Alan Johnson) says that:
"The Council conclusions also called on the
Commission to continue to monitor the shipbuilding market closely
and called on the Commission and Member States to continue to
work closely with the industry on competitiveness issues; to continue
to encourage the IMF to ensure that the restructuring of Korean
shipyards is closely monitored; and to pursue efforts to establish
a level playing field for the shipbuilding industry in the OECD.
"The Council maintained its 1998 decision to
end operating aid on 31 December 2000. I should tell you, however,
that on 29 November the Commission, under strong pressure from
the German-led minority who had wanted operating aid to continue,
put forward the idea of a defensive temporary support mechanism
for vessels subject to unfair competition if no progress was made
with Korea by 1 May 2001. However, at the 5 December meeting this
was strongly rejected by virtually all Member States. The Council
therefore only took note of the Commission proposal and added
the safeguard that such a mechanism would be under the supervision
of the Commission and must not distort competition in the EU.
"This was not an easy discussion. There was
determined opposition to the ending of operating aid from Germany,
Italy, Spain, Greece and Portugal and this made it difficult to
agree Council conclusions. That conclusions were eventually agreed
is a testimony to the successful outcome to this meeting.
"We will continue to give our fullest support
to the Commission in its search for a bilateral/trade remedy to
Korea. At the same time, we will also continue to work closely
with the industry to improve its competitiveness, such as through
the LINK shipbuilding Research project to which we are contributing
11.3 We note what the Minister calls
the tough approach towards Korea taken by the Council and reiterate
our strong support for urgent action. In particular, we hope that
the Commission's investigation of the Trade Barriers Regulation
against Korea can be concluded as quickly as possible, thus opening
up the possibility of action against Korea through the World Trade
Organisation if no bilateral remedy has been agreed. We ask the
Minister to report to us before 1 May 2001 about the Trade Barriers
Regulation investigation. We note that the majority within the
Council opposed any move to extend operating aid within the European
Union beyond 31 December 2000.
11.4 In the light of the Minister's letter,
we now clear the document.
