Sorry, Father! I should've done it when you're rested.
*Well, you are a feisty Srpkinja!! Thanks for what you did - putting the truth out before the general public. The secret banning of the Orthodox (about 11 of us now) is not exactly a great credit to the openness and honesty of the Admin over at CAF.I see that the threads lasted for about 1 hour. Did you notice how many people read them?
Well I have not posted here for many years However I feel I have to point out that I'm not happy at the situation there I had started a new thread on mysterious happenings and guess what ??POOFVanished.
I saw the initial thread, but now do not have access to it. I also tried your link to the reaction thread. It has also been shut down.
The other one came back and was locked
Wannabe has started another thread.http://forums.catholic.com/showthread.php?t=200246
There is a locked thread there now partially addressing the mysterious disappearances. She says in the final post that the concerns are going to be addressed. I didn't know that Joe Monahan resigned.
I wonder if that has something to do with one or more of the five "guests" currently reading this thread (who's ISP's I can see btw)?
Wouldn't it be good if someone had some screenshots of the threads before they were taken down?
DO NOT GO GENTLE INTO THAT GOOD NIGHT[/b] Do not go gentle into that good night, Old age should burn and rave at close of day; Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay, Rage, rage against the dying of the light. Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight, And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way, Do not go gentle into that good night.

I most likely have seen my time there end for this reason.back to the woodwork. Peace all.
I made a PDF print of paradoxy's posting at CAF and will gladly share it with anyone who wants a copy.
They list 13 Mods BUT - I wonder just how many they do actually have
Frankly I do not think we should be discussing what CAF have done with some of the members there.Surely it's an Internal matter and no business of ours ?
3) Posting of links to any webfora.
Perhaps you should strive for consistency and refrain from asking such questions... On the Byzantine forum, in relation to this matter, you said:Source: Link Disabled.

Oh my! I go to bed and you all form a resistance. Great going paradoxy! Your posts were QUITE valuable to me on CAF, don't discount yourself. I hope to see many more here.

Sorry to have missed the action. I was asleep when all this transpired. I admire your action, paradoxy. I'll miss seeing you on CAF, but the truth did need to get out. Pray for me and any other Orthodox who are still trying to defend the Faith in the ever-increasing hostile environment of CAF. God bless,Adam
We'll see if anyone from CAF is monitoring this - I haven't posted on CAF in ages. If I get banned, it will be because they're monitoring this forum.
Hello,Yes, quite a bit. In fact, I'm logged on to both here and there at the same time. But I don't really do any Catholic/Orthodox threads. They're too hard to find, and given where they are located, they are probably infested with Protestants and Muslims, among others.I am doing quite a bit of posting in regards to Sacred Music right now.

The way sugar behaves in the body is not always sweet. No one knows this better than the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) Deputy Clinical Director Donna Krasnewich, M.D., Ph.D. She is one of the world's foremost experts in the study and treatment of a group of rare genetic diseases collectively dubbed congenital disorders of glycosylation (CDG).
Dr. Krasnewich, who came to the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in 1989, also is an associate investigator in the Division of Intramural Research's Medical Genetics Branch and head of the Medical Genetics Clinic. Trained as a pediatrician, with a specialty in clinical biochemical genetics, her research focuses on metabolic disorders.
CDG are caused by genetic mutations that disrupt particular aspects of sugar metabolism. Sugar is well known for its role as an essential nutrient, but it also has important structural functions. Simple sugars are joined together to form complex branched sugars, or oligosaccharides, which are linked to the amino acid asparagine (whose single-letter amino acid code is N). These oligosaccharides are attached to proteins inside and on the surface of the cell and play a vital role in the growth and functioning of many tissues in the body.
Hundreds of different enzymes are required to construct these elaborate tree-like structures. A genetic mutation in any one of these can cause an enzyme to malfunction and prevent the cell from manufacturing the correct sugar chain. This can cause many clinical problems in children, with the range of symptoms and the severity of the disease depending on which enzyme is damaged. This makes CDG tricky to diagnose.
The underlying metabolic causes in CDG have been clear for many years. "If you can't make N-linked oligosaccharides then you have CDG," said Dr. Krasnewich. A lab test called transferrin isoform analysis can determine whether an individual has CDG, but does not reveal which enzyme in the glycosylation pathway is damaged. To date, 16 types of CDG have been identified. Only one of these disorders - CDG Type 1b - can be treated.
The spectrum of symptoms ranges from children with severe developmental issues, liver disease, neurological dysfunction, and eye and endocrine problems, to children who only have diarrhea and "failure to thrive" but are otherwise cognitively normal. "So the spectrum is enormous," said Dr. Krasnewich, "If you asked: 'What are the signs that a child has CDG?' The answer is: just about anything."
To illustrate her point, she grabbed a picture showing a group of children with CDG. "This boy is in a wheelchair; this one is walking around; this one is mildly cognitively impaired. In this group photo the children range from very growth impaired to average size kids," she explained.
Then, pointing to a picture of adults with CDG Type 1a, she added, "This man has an IQ of about 70. They all read at about a second or third grade level ... they are incredibly happy all the time, which just happens to be a constituency of their personalities. This young woman is pretty spirited and went to her senior prom ... these two people have neurological problems similar to being severely drunk because they have cerebellar issues." The cerebellum hones movement. When it doesn't function correctly an individual can generate movements but can't fine-tune them - making it difficult for children and adults with CDG to walk.
CDG cases are extremely rare, with only 100 to 150 in the United States and about 400 to 500 worldwide. Over the past 10 years of studying this disorder while at NHGRI, Dr. Krasnewich has met and examined many of the children with CDG in the United States, making her an invaluable hub of knowledge for families around the world.
"Genetics, in general, is a very holistic practice," said Dr. Krasnewich. Typically the children will spend up to four days with the NHGRI clinical researcher and her team. "We spend a lot of time addressing whatever is going on with the child. The families basically use me as their medical coordinator so that they can make judgments about management."
Dr. Krasnewich doesn't just work with the families; she often schools the family physicians and pediatricians who must learn how to care for a child with a form of CDG. About 10 to 12 times a month she gets a call from a physician who is caring for an affected child and needs to talk through things.
In many cases, Dr. Krasnewich is the key to connecting families and seemingly unrelated cases to enable everyone to share information about the disease. "How else can you do this unless you have a central person who is interested in the disorder? When you have a rare disease, you need someone to make it their baby and take it under their wing - that person has a collective knowledge that allows them to synergize with other people."
For Dr. Krasnewich, her goal is to understand the full range of disease symptoms and develop management strategies for patients along the entire CDG spectrum. "Some of these kids have a failure to thrive, so what's the best way to manage their feeding problems? That's something I'm specifically interested in right now."
About 25 percent of children with CDG Type 1a, which is the most common form of the disease, die in infancy. Why do they die? What is a predictor of a child who will never be hospitalized versus one who will? Is there some clinical marker that can identify children at particular risk? These are all issues that Dr. Krasnewich is trying to address through her research.
These days, Dr. Krasnewich doesn't need to see every case of CDG because many patients can receive good medical care from their physicians. She wants to focus on the more unusual cases. Understanding the clinical issues and therapeutic responses of children and adults with rare diseases not only helps an often neglected small group of patients, but frequently gives insight into common medical problems in larger populations.
"Here at the NIH, we only see extraordinary things - it's a wonderful place to practice medicine," said Dr. Krasnewich. "I have the luxury of time to spend with families. So if I have a child with CDG, I'll spend four or five hours with them at the beginning of the visit figuring out what's going on, priorities, sequence of events and their questions. That's very difficult to do in any other place."
Ultimately, Dr. Krasnewich hopes that her understanding of disease symptoms will converge with the identification of the genes causing the various forms of CDG. This would further illuminate the roles that oligosaccharides play in the body, and perhaps reveal therapeutic options for this group of diseases.

Friends, I have a thing for foundation brushes. In fact, there are about 5 or 6 different ones in my brush rotation right now. They're not all my favourites – in fact, there are some that I reach for first, and a few that I reach for only if all the other ones are dirty. But I have a bunch because I use them regularly to apply foundation and even if I'm not reaching for my favourite one, I much prefer to use one that's clean rather than one that's a little gunky from too much foundation.
So here's the one that's just gone straight to the top of my list.
It's the Hourglass Cosmetics Brush #2 suitable for foundation or cream blush. Make of Taklon fibres instead of real hair (as all foundation brushes should be), this brush is a departure from what you would expect. The brush is fluffy but not so much so that it's difficult to apply foundation in hard to reach areas such as under the eye and close to the nose. The aluminum handle is wide enough to give you good grip, and the rounded head of the fibres lets you buff foundation in instead of painting it on. The difference means that you get a flawless, natural-looking finish rather than one that's overly done or chalky. It also means that there's no streaking and no excess foundation that can absorb and pick up powder.
What really impressed me and took this brush to the next level is the fact that it worked so well at applying long-wear foundation which gets pretty gunky on a regular brush. I used it to apply Dior's new Nude Fluid Foundation and was impressed by the way that it just melted into my skin with the brush.
For the record, brushes I'm using include one by Quo (so-so… run of the mill foundation brush), the Giorgio Armani Blender Brush (this used to be a favourite but it applies a pretty heavy layer of foundation), and Sephora Brand's Professional Air Brush #55 (awesome, probably my second favourite).
Hourglass Cosmetics is available exclusively at Sephora. This brush retails for $67 – pricy for just one brush but totally worth it.

In the Name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Fighting in the Cause of God
Fighting in the cause of God is one of the most misunderstood issues in Islam (Submission), even by those who consider themselves Muslims. Many of the so called "Muslim" scholars have confused the issue by their personal opinion that has NO support in the Quran. Most of these deviant opinions originate from false teachings found in the books of Hadiths and sunna. Hadiths and sunna books are a collection of fabricated stories about prophet Muhammed that have all kinds of cruel inhumane and corrupted opinions that contradict the Quran, contradict itself, and contradict as well any common sense. Most of the corruption we see in the "Muslim" world today comes from these man made books that were collected over 200 years after the death of Prophet Muhammed. Prophet Muhammed himself never advocated any books but the Quran and even instructed his followers NOT to write or collect such books. Please see our Hadiths and Sunna section for details. Prophet Muhammed himself NEVER waged any war except for self defense and never lived except by the peaceful words of God in the Quran.
Quran defines clearly for the believers what is it , the cause of God. First we have to realize some very important concepts about war and peace in the Quran.
God condemns aggression in the Quran (2:190-191). This doesn't mean that we should not defend ourselves when we are being attacked. And this is the only time you will find believers fight others, when they themselves are being attacked, aggressed upon. Believers will never initiate war, or an aggression. The Quran is a fully detailed book, which provides us with guidance on how to deal with all kinds of situations we encounter in this life. One of those situations are war. Thus God gives us very exact guidelines on how to behave in those situations. A commonly quoted verse is 9:5. It is a verse that deals with a situation of war. The believers have been attacked, and their enemy has broken a peaceful truce, and they are told how to defend themselves.
[9:5] Once the Sacred Months are past, (and they refuse to make peace) you may kill the idol worshipers when you encounter them, punish them, and resist every move they make. If they repent and observe the Contact Prayers (Salat) and give the obligatory charity (Zakat), you shall let them go. GOD is Forgiver, Most Merciful.
Whenever possible we should resort to peace.Throughout the Quran, God teaches us that whenever possible we should resort to peace.
[8:61] If they resort to peace, so shall you, and put your trust in GOD. He is the Hearer, the Omniscient.
[9:4] If the idol worshipers sign a peace treaty with you, and do not violate it, nor band together with others against you, you shall fulfill your treaty with them until the expiration date. GOD loves the righteous.
[4:90] …if they leave you alone, refrain from fighting you, and offer you peace, then GOD gives you no excuse to fight them. As we also read in 9:6, even people with different belief than our own, during the actual war situation, is to be granted safe passage with us if he seeks it.
[9:6] If one of the idol worshipers sought safe passage with you, you shall grant him safe passage, so that he can hear the word of GOD, then send him back to his place of security. That is because they are people who do not know.
Whenever attacked, defend yourselves; As much as any civilized nation would do, e.g. USA today, God gave the believers the right to defend themselves if resorting to peaceful means did not work out and they are still attacked, as we clearly see in 47:4. This verse deals with a war situation, in a situation where the believers are under attack.
[47:4] If you encounter (in war) those who disbelieve, you may strike the necks. If you take them as captives you may set them free or ransom them, until the war ends. Had GOD willed, He could have granted you victory, without war. But He thus tests you by one another. As for those who get killed in the cause of GOD, He will never put their sacrifice to waste.
Some expressed concerns about the allegorical expression of "strike the necks". It is an indication of the severity of the war and the attacks where the believers should not save any means of legitimate weapon to defeat those who attacked them. Those who watched the America bombing of the terrorists in Afghanistan using all that the American arsenal has would understand this expression.
Again in self defense God commands, [9:29] You shall fight back against those who do not believe in GOD, nor in the Last Day, nor do they prohibit what GOD and His messenger have prohibited, nor do they abide by the religion of truth - among those who received the scripture - until they pay the due tax, willingly or unwillingly. As we again learn from this verse and the other verses, the fighting only occurs when being aggressed against.
Fighting in the cause of God;
[4:75] Why should you not fight in the cause of GOD when weak men, women, and children are imploring: "Our Lord, deliver us from this community whose people are oppressive, and be You our Lord and Master."
Those who believe fight in the cause of God. What that means is that they fight according to God's commandments. God's commandments forbids aggression, calls for peace but allows self defense. God's commandments tells us that there shall be no compulsion in religion, His commandments tells us that we should offer maximum freedom and equal rights to all people, regardless of their belief or lifestyle. Those who disbelieve on the other hand, they fight in the cause of Tyranny: oppression, dictatorship, domination, autocracy, despotism, absolutism, cruelty, totalitarianism.
[4:76] Those who believe are fighting for the cause of GOD, while those who disbelieve are fighting for the cause of tyranny. Therefore, you shall fight the devil's allies; the devil's power is nil.
Non military Fighting in the cause of God; In principle, the believers want to have guaranteed freedom, freedom of worship for them and for all those who live with them, freedom of expression, freedom of trade and move. The freedom to be treated equally in the land with no discrimination as a result of color, age, gender or beliefs.
Fighting in the cause of God therefore does not have to be a military fighting but the student of the Quran will strongly realize that such military fighting should be the exception. A very important teaching in the Quran is to strife to be strong, not to be an aggressor ,but to prevent others from aggressing against you.
[8:60] You shall prepare for them all the power you can muster, and all the equipment you can mobilize, that you may frighten the enemies of GOD, your enemies, as well as others who are not known to you; GOD knows them. Whatever you spend in the cause of GOD will be repaid to you generously, without the least injustice.
All the super powers in our world today, USA, China, Russia..etc are following this rule. None of the so called "Muslim" countries has been able to follow his rule as they have deserted most of the Quranic rules.
In our civilized world today, the power of the pen is stronger and more effective than the power of the bullet. A bullet or a bomb may affect a group of people at a certain location, while the pen can reach all over the globe, e.g.the Internet, where people have the complete freedom to accept or reject any stated idea. Fighting in the cause of God has gone a long way and a message like the one you are reading now is seen around the globe and read by people who speak different languages as the computers changed the face of the world. The prediction of the advent of the computer in the Quran, 72:28, has been a landmark of the miracle of the Quran. Yes, we can fight oppression and aggression around the world as we are commanded in the Quran by the pen, one of the most peaceful way of achieving global results and understanding.
[96:1-5] Read, in the name of your Lord, who created. He created man from an embryo. Read, and your Lord, Most Exalted. Teaches by means of the pen. He teaches man what he never knew.

Recovering from what has been a rapid and largely unexpected decline will not be easy, says Vern Tyson, vice president, cotton operations, National Textiles in Winston Salem, N.C.
Tyson told participants in the Texas Gulf Coast Cotton Conference in Corpus Christi that the textile industry "is in crisis. We're at a crossroads with domestic manufacturing and we have to do something to keep the industry vital."
Tyson said the future of the industry depends on the following factors:
The global economy has to strengthen.
We must balance the playing field for international trade.
Labor-intensive operations must leave the United States. "That's already happening."
The industry must consolidate even more. "The core industry is okay under the current trading rules, but small companies may not make it, especially if we reduce tariffs on textile imports."
U.S. cotton consumption will need to hold at 7 million to 7.5 million bales.
Domestic consumption could drop to 4 million to 4.5 million bales if tariffs are reduced.
"The world has changed," Tyson said. "These are scary times and we don't know what the future holds. But I believe at least part of the textile industry will be here to stay.
Tyson said the deterioration was rapid. "In 1998, we believed domestic cotton consumption would drop to 9 million bales. From 1992 through 1997, the textile industry was prospering with profits around $2.1 billion. Raw material consumption was up by 30 percent."
He said production had increased by 40 percent over the past decade. "The average price of cotton was 74 cents a pound. We see no correlation of price to the industry hardships."
The erosion began in 1997 and 1998, Tyson said, with the collapse of the Asian economy. A strong dollar also contributed to reduced sales.
At the same time, Asian imports increased by 80 percent. "U.S. prices plummeted to maintain market share, but the strategy was largely unsuccessful. We could buy yarn cheaper than we could make it," he said.
Since the decline began, Tyson says more than 100 textile plants have closed and more than 60,000 employees have lost jobs.
"It's the worst business downturn in the industry in 50 years. In June of 2000, we had 953 claims for unemployment compensation in the textile industry. In June of 2001, we had 11,104."
The long-term health of the U.S. textile industry depends on the entire industry, grower, buyer and manufacturer, working together to develop solutions to production, quality and trade problems, Tyson said.
"It's always good to get producers and mill representatives in the same room to share ideas," he said.

Remarks to the U.S. Conference
of Mayors
At the 65th Annual Conference of Mayors in Chicago on June 24, 1997.
Thank you, Mayor Richard Daley for that very gracious introduction. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank you publicly for your fine leadership of the City of Chicago and of this organization. I want to thank you--and your entire family--for everything that you have done to make this country great and strong.
I also want to acknowledge Mayor Norm Rice, who heads the Mayor's Task Force on Welfare Reform. Mayor, I value your integrity, your intellect, your deep commitment . . . and mostly, your friendship. I also want to give an early welcome to the next leader of the U.S. Conference of Mayors, Paul Helmke of Fort Wayne.
And to Tom Cochron, the Executive Director of the U.S. Conference of Mayors: Thank you for your fine work and friendship. Tom and I have worked closely together over many years . . . and I look forward to doing much more with him and the nation's Mayors in my new role as Labor Secretary.
It is a pleasure to be here in one of America's great cities with one of America's great Mayors: Willie Brown. When I think of Willie, I think of a story I know about the legendary Huey Long. The master of ceremonies at an event was stumbling through an introduction of him and the audience was getting restless.
So Huey Long interrupted, and said, "Just tell them I'm sui generis"--or, for those of you who didn't learn Latin in Catholic school, one of a kind.
Well, Willie Brown is sui generis--and we're all lucky to know him and work with him.
I grew up a long way from here but in another port city--the town of Mobile, Alabama. And it seems to me that, for all of you, whether you hail from San Francisco, from Mobile, or from any of our nation's great cities, serving as a Mayor is mostly an act of faith.
It is an act of faith that the people in our urban communities will find a way to reach across the differences that divide them and become--as the President urges us to be--proud participants in "one America."
It is also an act of faith when Mayors--men and women from rural and urban areas--come together to forge consensus, form partnerships and make progress together.
My faith in the potential of our nation . . . in our cities . . . in each of us . . . is rooted in my formative experience in public service.
After I left college, I began working with Catholic Charities, helping unemployed young men from the housing projects in my hometown of Mobile find work as skilled apprentices in the shipyards in nearby Pascagoula, Mississippi.
I will never forget these young men. Their hearts--and their hands--were aching for the dignity of useful work. And as we offered them education, training, and information about jobs, many of them seized the opportunities placed before them.
In that experience--and in many miraculous transformations we have all seen in our own lives and work--there is a lesson for all of us.
As the President says: When we offer opportunity for all-- and demand responsibility from all--we can build a new American community for all.
That is what you are trying to do every day as mayors. And that is what I am trying to do everyday as the nation's 23rd Secretary of Labor.
But challenges remain. We must make municipal governments and municipal economies--many of which were forged in the Industrial Age--respond to the challenges of the Information Age.
And we must continue to rise to the challenge of ensuring that all or our cities remain not just centers of our population . . . but centers of our civilization.
For everything you are doing to keep that faith and meet those challenges, I honor you.
After I took the oath of office, I set five goals for our department. I hope these can also be the basis for a productive partnership with our nation's mayors. My goals are:
First, to equip every working American with the skills to find and hold good jobs with rising incomes throughout their lives.
Second, to guarantee every working American a safe and healthy workplace, with equal opportunity for all.
Third, to help working people balance work and family because Americans must be able to succeed at home as well as on the job.
Fourth, to assure that working Americans are secure when--as Walter Reuther used to say--they are "too old to work and too young to die." Protecting pensions and expanding coverage for American workers is a top priority for me.
And fifth, and finally, to help people move from welfare to work--and that is what I want to discuss with you this morning.
President Clinton, Vice President Gore, and our entire administration are deeply committed to helping people move from welfare to work. We already have an impressive record of achievement to build on. In the first four years of this administration, more than 860,000 people have already moved from the welfare rolls to payrolls.
But we are not even close to where we want . . . where we need . . . to be. In order to meet our goal of moving an additional one million people off welfare over the next four years, we must continue to push the administration's aggressive and comprehensive plan.
The economic recovery--which is manifesting itself in paychecks as well as in stock prices--is a good start. And, as you know, over the past four-and-a-half years, our economy has added more than 12 million new jobs.
On my very first day as Labor Secretary, I had the pleasure to announce that the nation's unemployment rate hit its lowest mark in 23 years. Later that afternoon, the President said to me: Well Alexis, what are you going to do for an encore? The good news continues for the American economy, for American workers, and for American cities . . . with unemployment down by one-third in the top 50 cities.
And, over the past year... with your help, working people's real wages are finally showing a lasting and long-overdue increase . . . and we are finally helping to slow income inequality.
We increased tax credits for low-wage workers. We raised the minimum wage. We want to establish the principle that, if you work 40 hours a week--and, especially if you have children at home--you need no longer live and labor in poverty.
There is much more that we must do--as our President indicated yesterday--if we are to have broadly shared prosperity.
We understand that we must spread the spirit of opportunity to every community in this country--from our inner cities to our rural areas.
Through our empowerment zones, our enterprise communities, and other targeted investments, we are working with our nation's mayors to bring business and jobs back to places where it is too often true that, as the sociologist William Julius Wilson has written, "work has disappeared."
That is why I am proud that the Bipartisan Budget agreement includes the investments that will help all Americans find new opportunities for education, for training, and for work.
We are making sure that work does not disappear by adding an additional 250 million dollars to the President's budget and in the Bi-partisan agreement to provide employment training and job opportunities to disadvantaged, out-of-school youth.
We will be able to offer retraining for over 600,000 laid- off workers.
We will be able to increase adult training by 19 percent, so we can serve an additional 40,000 disadvantaged men and women-- many of whom are welfare recipients.
We will be able to continue School-to-Work at the same levels--so that students in all 50 states and in all your cities will be able to prepare today for jobs tomorrow.
We will be able to serve almost 70,000 young people in the Job Corps, because funding rises 7 percent. Now let me take a few moments to talk--from very personal experience--about the benefits of our Job Corps program. I have seen--through the eyes of a family member, my cousin Joe--that Job Corps can turn a young person's life around. When Joe spoke at my swearing-in ceremony two months ago, he reminded the Vice President, a packed auditorium of Labor Department employees . . . and his cousin, the new Labor Secretary, that to him . . .and to countless others, Job Corps was so much more than just another government program--it was a life saver. I want to take this opportunity to remind all of you Mayors that you have thousands of cousin Joes in your cities--and Job Corps can and will make a difference in their lives.
I am also proud that we -- and, really, you -- will be able to offer nearly 637,000 disadvantaged young people summer jobs -- and year-round programs as well.
All this is important. But we have one important challenge remaining--to help people move off welfare . . . and on to a job.
For welfare reform to succeed, there must be enough jobs for welfare recipients.
We are committed to help people gain the skills and information to help them get real jobs in the private sector--and keep those jobs. And we believe that work must pay for any person struggling to get off welfare.
I want to work with you to help our cities--and our society- -meet this challenge. This effort should be designed and implemented at the local level -- because you know how to make it work. And it should be linked with our department's proven job training and employment system -- because experience has taught us all how to make it work for working Americans.
That is why when the President announced the Welfare to Work initiative, he indicated it would be a 3-year, $3 billion effort.
And we will fight to make sure that this money goes to the people who need it the most . . . and that you have the control and flexibility to make sure that happens. The President's initiative provides resources to your cities--in partnership with the Labor Department, the workforce development system, and Private Industry Councils. The effort is coordinated with HUD and HHS.
The goal is not only to create good jobs for people who are hardest to place, but to provide needed services for retention and advancement.
The President--with your help--fought hard to get this program into the Bipartisan Budget Agreement.
As we speak, the House and Senate are negotiating and renegotiating the shape of the program as each house prepares to vote on the Budget this week.
The Bipartisan Bill reported from the House Ways and Means Committee most closely follows the President's principles. Funds flow through the Labor Department in two ways: a formula targeted to cities on the basis of need and competitive grants targeted to the cities with the poorest populations. The proposal utilizes the employment and training system, which is directed by you and other local elected officials who have the relationships with your local business community.
The resolution you will consider this morning, and the letter that Mayor Helmke and more than 200 Mayors sent to the Senate yesterday endorses this approach. The details change moment by moment . . . but one thing is clear: your participation is critical.
Moving people from welfare to work is at your door step. I am not unaware that this can be both a burden and a blessing. Your success stories are a powerful tool in winning the battle on Capitol Hill--and more important, in helping people move into the workforce.
The past few days, I have been meeting with Mayors and learning about the creative programs that are under way. It is clear to me that cities are back!
The proof is in Mayor Rice's Seattle Jobs Initiative, Mayor Morial's "work revival," Mayor Archer's "Detroit Works," and your incoming president, Mayor Helmke's commitment of moving Fort Wayne's youth from school to work. These are just a few of the models of innovation that must be shared and replicated in cities across our great nation. I want to work with all of you throughout the legislative process to maximize our opportunities and our partnership for the future.
Moving one million people from welfare to work in four years will not be easy . . . but I know that it is doable . . . our challenges are not insurmountable if we keep the faith . . . together.
I was raised in the belief that, next to family and faith, the most important thing in our lives was the work that we do.
Work affirms our faith in humanity . . . and gives us the opportunity to make our own unique contribution to our community, our country and our world.
So let me close by thanking you for all that you have done . . . and all that you will do in the future to give every American the ability . . . and the opportunity . . . to a life blessed with the amazing dignity of work.
Thank you. And God bless each and every one of you and the fine work that you do.

Scattering is a general physical process where some forms of radiation, such as light, sound, or moving particles, are forced to deviate from a straight trajectory by one or more localized non-uniformities in the medium through which they pass. In conventional use, this also includes deviation of reflected radiation from the angle predicted by the law of reflection. Reflections that undergo scattering are often called diffuse reflections and unscattered reflections are called specular(mirror-like) reflections.

John Obi-Mikel has shown he is no different to any red-blooded male after he was snapped gawping at a bikini-clad girl mid-interview.
The Chelsea player had been away with Nigeria at the Confederations Cup in Brazil, before their elimination at the group stage.
Before heading home to the gruelling regime of pre-season with Chelsea, the powerhouse midfielder decided to check out a few of the local sights.
That included a trip to the beach where he was collared for an interview by a TV station.
Sadly mid-way through a question the Chelsea ace allowed his gaze to wonder as a good-looking lady sauntered past with a pal.
Of course in this day and age a snap of this fleeting moment was soon on the internet and it has now gone viral.
The big question remains however - was he looking at the lady or the chap in the small white trunks next to her?

Sew Out Loud Quilt Along - Press On!
My block is called 'Press on!' and is all about the trusty old iron. I quite enjoy ironing as part of the sewing process but when it comes to ironing the laundry it is one of my least favourite chores. Funny how that works, I wonder if I had an iron like this it would change the way I feel ;)
I have included templates for freezer paper piecing or foundation paper piecing. You can download the pattern here

PASADENA — Police arrested a 22-year-old transient with a penchant for high-end SUVs for the third time in the past two months Sunday for burglarizing the same Land Rover dealership, officials said.
Mychal Poole was booked on suspicion of commercial burglary after he was taken into custody about 2:30 a.m. at the dealership, 3485 E. Colorado Blvd., Pasadena police Lt. Jason Clawson said.
Police responded to a report of a trespasser when they saw Poole, who fled, Clawson said. The officers chased after him and detained him before discovering items taken from the dealership's auto service area, the lieutenant said.
Poole was previously arrested for similar crimes at the Land Rover dealership on July 3 and July 5.
Police jailed him in the first incident after he was found on the lot trying to take a vehicle, Clawson said.
But he was released from jail later in the day, Clawson said. Details on the case were not available Sunday, however the lieutenant said he believed the release was related to an injury or medical condition.
The tenacious suspect showed up again at the Land Rover dealership two days later, police said.
In that incident, he was found hiding in the area in a stolen dealership employee's uniform and in possession of keys from the dealership, officials said. He had tried to steal one of the vehicles, but been unable to open a driveway gate to complete the alleged crime.
According to county booking records, Poole appeared in Pasadena Superior Court July 16 and received a 120-day jail sentence.
He was due to complete his sentence Aug. 2, but out of custody through a work release program, when he was arrested Sunday morning, county jail officials said.
Following Sunday's arrest, Poole was being held in lieu of $20,000 bail at the Pasadena Police Department jail pending his initial court appearance.

MIAMI - A Florida teenager is dead after being gunned down by a man who moments earlier had asked the victim and his friends to turn down the music coming from a car stereo, justice officials said Tuesday. Jordan Davis, 17, was hit at least twice by bullets fired by Michael Dunn, a 45-year-old businessman who is in custody over the incident which took place Friday in Jacksonville, said Sheriff's Department Lieutenant Rob Schoonover. The shooting occurred after Dunn, who is white, approached Davis, who was black, to complain about loud music coming from the sport utility vehicle (SUV) in which the youngsters were seated.
"Jordan and Dunn exchanged words, and Dunn pulled a gun and shot eight or nine times, striking Jordan twice. No one else was hurt," said Schoonover. No firearms were found in the victim's car. Dunn, whose girlfriend was buying in a convenience store when the incident occurred, was in town for his son's wedding. He left the scene and returned to his hotel but he was later traced from closed-circuit television footage. Ron Davis, the victim's father, told local television that he wants to see justice done, "whether it be through the legal system," or God. "God's going to punish him for that, so me, I don't want to do anything to him," Davis told the WAWS television channel. In February, racial tensions soared in Florida when unarmed black teenager Trayvon Martin was shot dead by Hispanic neighborhood watch coordinator George Zimmerman.

I have a Thinkpad T23 laptop from my employer.
Apologies in advance to any IBM fans but I have had problems with it since it was brand new out of the box and wish it would fall into the bathtub or something so I could trade up for a Dell.
In any event, one of the issues it has always had is that it would crash seemingly out of nowhere. You would just be typing along and then you'd get a blue screen of death.
Over time this crash has come to be associated with hitting the bottom left most key on the keyboard which is a blue "Fn" key that allows you to execute special keys for the laptop like hibernation, switching video output to an LCD projector or whatever. Turns out it was a common problem and not just my laptop.
So, someone somewhere worked this out and this is the fix we were given:
So far, it seems as if this works.1. Open the Task Bar settings
2. Click on the Advanced Tab
3. Make sure all boxes in the Start menu settings window are checked
4. Shut the PC down and undock it if it is docked
5. Power on the machine. Press the F8 key to choose how to boot Windows
6. Select "Safe Mode". No network support is needed so just plain Safe Mode will do
7. Once the PC is booted press the blue Fn key. You do NOT need to log in for this to work. You will NOT see any messages or be able to tell anything has happened- but this will fix the problem.
8. Press CTRL-ALT-DEL and select Shutdown
9. Power the machine back on. Boot into Windows normally and resume normal operation
I am curious if anyone can explain why though. How would you even go about figuring out that this was the fix for this problem if "You do NOT need to log in for this to work. You will NOT see any messages or be able to tell anything has happened"?
You can't accidentally go into Safe Mode and press the Fn key which results in nothing noticeable happening and then say "wow! that crashing problem went away!".
Any ideas?

Jamie Moyer make history as he, at the age of 47, becomes the oldest player in baseball history to pitch a complete game shutout as the Phils defeat the Braves, 7-0.
Jamie Moyer sets a new Major League record as he, at the age of 47, becomes the oldest pitcher to pitch a complete game shutout as he throws a two-hitter at the Braves, as the Phils win by the score of 7-0.
The game starts as a pitchers' duel for the first two and a half innings, although Braves' starter Derek Lowe had to work his way out of trouble, while Phils' starters Jamie Moyer had given out only one hit through three, while facing only nine batters as, in the second inning, with a runner on first, and with no one out, Matt Diaz hits into a 6-3 doubleplay, wiping out Troy Glaus at second base, who had earlier singled. The Phils then took a 3-0 lead in the third as, with two men on base, and with two men out, Jayson Werth hits a three-run home run, his sixth home run of the year, scoring both Chase Utley, who had earlier singled, and then went to second on Ryan Howard's single, and Howard, who had just singled. The Phils then busted the game wide open in the fifth as, with the bases loaded, via singles to Placido Polanco, Chase Utley and Ryan Howard, and with two men out, Raul Ibanez hits a two-run single, scoring Polanco and Utley, giving the Phils a 5-0 lead, while sending Howard to third, while Ibanez would move up to second on the throw. Two batters later, after Carlos Ruiz is intentionally walked to reload the bases, Wilson Valdez increased the Phils' lead to 7-0 with a two-run single, knocking in both Howard and Ibanez, while sending Ruiz up to second base. That would be it for the scoring, as Moyer proceeded to shut the Braves down by throwing a two-hit shut out against them, in the process becoming the oldest pitcher to throw a shut out in Major League History.
Jamie Moyer threw a complete game shut out, giving up only two hits, while striking out five. His record is now 4-2 with an ERA of 4.38. Derek Lowe took the lost as he lasts only five innings, giving up seven runs on eleven hits and two walks, while striking out two. His record is now 4-3 with a 6.16 ERA. Jonny Venters, Craig Kimbrel and Jesse Chavez combine for three shut out innings, giving up only one hit (Kimbrel) and one walk (Venters), while striking out three (Venters (1), Kimbrel (2)).
The Phils had twelve hits in the game, with Placido Polanco, Chase Utley, Ryan Howard, Jayson Werth and Raul Ibanez each had two hits, with Polanco having a single and a double, and Werth with a double and a three-run home run, knocking in three runs. Utley, Howard and Ibanez each had two singles, with Ibanez knocking in two runs. Carlos Ruiz and Wilson Valdez had the other two Phils' hits, both singles, with Valdez knocking in two runs.
The Phils (18-11, 1st) continues their three-game series with the Braves (12-17, 5th) with an afternoon game tomorrow. The game will be played at Citizens Bank Park and will start at 3:05 pm Eastern. The Phils will send to the mound Joe Blanton (0-1, 5.40), who is coming off a lost to the Cardinals on May 3, as he went six and two-thirds innings, giving up four runs on ten hits and a walk, in the Phils' 6-3 lost. He will be trying to even up his record, while hoping to continue the Phils' recent spurt of good starts. The Braves will counter with Kris Medlen (1-1, 2.55), who made his last appearance on May 5, as he received the win as he pitches a scoreless inning, striking out a batter. He hoped to be able to keep the Phils' bats silent. The Phils will be trying to increase their present winning streak to five games.

If you are writing integration tests for EmberJS and you have a situation where Promises and async calls are not being used everywhere, you might have a problem where andThen() and wait() do not work:
describe 'feature', -> it 'does something', (done) -> visit('/') .then -> doSomething() .then -> wait() .then -> expect($('button:contains("Go"):disabled').length).to.equal(0) done()
It's much more likely though, that you have an error in your tests or you are failing to capture an asynchronous event. So you should not do what follows next.
Here is a terrible approach, inspired by this StackOverflow answer, which can be used to wait until a given view has been updated correctly:
describe 'feature', -> it 'does something', (done) -> visit('/') .then -> doSomething() .then -> new Em.RSVP.Promise (resolve, reject) -> count = 0 waitFunction = -> console.log "waiting for ember to update its views..." reject("spent too long waiting for ember to update its views") if ++count > 1e4 if $('button:contains("Go"):disabled').length > 0 Ember.run.next -> waitFunction() else resolve() waitFunction() .then -> expect($('button:contains("Go"):disabled').length).to.equal(0) done()

Chuck Hagel's Chevron tie not criticized
In his bid to become secretary of defense, former Sen. Chuck Hagel has come under fire from both the left and right for his comments on Iraq, Israel and gays.
His membership on the board of one of America's largest oil companies, however, has caused barely a stir.
Since 2010, Hagel has served on the board of Chevron Corp., a position he would have to leave if he wins Senate confirmation as defense secretary. He received $301,199 in compensation from the San Ramon company in 2011, including $184,000 in stock.
Chevron is a major federal contractor, with more than $501 million in sales to the U.S. government in the last fiscal year.
But critics of the "revolving door" between the federal government and the private sector haven't raised any complaints about Hagel. That's largely due to the nature of Chevron's federal contracts. Almost all the money Chevron made from the U.S. government in fiscal year 2012 came from selling fuel to the Pentagon, according to a government website that tracks federal spending.
"The decisions on fuel procurement are fairly low on the radar screen of a defense secretary," said Tyson Slocum, head of the energy program at the Public Citizen watchdog group. "I don't think that would be as alarming as, say, a board membership at Lockheed Martin or a contractor that goes to the core of strategic decision making at the Pentagon."
Environmentalists don't like seeing a board member of Big Oil join the Cabinet of an administration that they consider an ally. But they're also leery of speaking out against Hagel, considering how controversial his nomination has become for President Obama. Many would rather not discuss Hagel at all, at least not on the record.
Those who will talk say they're willing to give the Republican from Nebraska the benefit of the doubt, even if they want Obama to cut America's dependence on Chevron's main product.
"I'm sure it will raise some eyebrows," said Ralph Cavanagh, head of the energy program at the Natural Resources Defense Council. "But I'm not threatened by a secretary of defense who understands the oil industry. What I bet it will give Chuck Hagel is a good sense of the energy security problem of our dependence on oil."
Political connections
Chevron, the nation's second-largest oil company, has a history of politically connected board members. Condoleezza Rice served on the company's board before becoming national security adviser for President George W. Bush. Former Sen. Sam Nunn joined the board after leaving office, retiring from Chevron in 2011.
Should Hagel win confirmation, he would have to resign from the company's board, said company spokesman Morgan Crinklaw. Hagel serves on the board committees that oversee Chevron's corporate governance and public policy.
The practice of former federal officials landing jobs with government contractors - and vice versa - has long angered many government watchdogs. They were appalled when Obama, early in his first term, nominated a lobbyist for the Raytheon Corp. to serve as deputy secretary of defense.
But Hagel doesn't lobby for Chevron, according to the company. And the Senate Armed Services Committee would require him to financially divest himself of his Chevron holdings, either by selling them or placing them in a blind trust, said Joe Newman with the Project on Government Oversight.
"We certainly wouldn't want to see him weigh in on any contracts that could involve Chevron," said Newman, the nonprofit group's communications director. He added that a defense secretary wouldn't likely get involved in something as mundane as buying gas, diesel and fuel oil.
Praise for Pentagon
Environmentalists who have been pushing Obama to take action on climate change have praised the Pentagon for taking concrete steps to improve its energy efficiency and test alternative fuels. They don't want that to change under Hagel.
And while an oil company board member may seem an unlikely champion for biofuels, Chevron is an investor in one of the startup businesses supplying those fuels to the Pentagon - Solazyme, based in South San Francisco.
"An early test for Hagel will be whether he continues that leadership," Cavanagh said. "If that's the case, none of us will regret his temporary entanglement with Chevron."
Others on the political left have their own reasons to dislike Hagel's Chevron connection.
A coalition of human rights activists has criticized Chevron's behavior around the globe, accusing the company of fouling the environment and working with repressive regimes in places such as Burma and Nigeria. The coalition publishes an annual report called "The True Cost of Chevron" that company executives have compared to a funhouse mirror, distorting their record around the globe.
No response
One activist group, Crude Accountability, even asked Hagel at his first Chevron shareholder meeting why he was joining the board. He didn't respond, said Kate Watters, the group's executive director.
"It wasn't a PR stand - we were genuinely asking, 'Hey, what are you doing?' " she said.
While Watters has concern about a former Chevron board member leading the Defense Department, she also has some respect for parts of Hagel's record in office.
"When he was in Congress, he had a reputation for being firm on human rights," she said. "He was one of the few people who would hold hearings about corporate responsibility and human rights concerns in other parts of the world."

text: The Khmer Rouge wiped out nearly a quarter of Cambodia's population between 1975-79 [EPA]Cambodia's war crimes court has ruled out that Pol Pot's former deputy Nuon Chea was fit to continue standing trial afterthe death of a co-defendant renewed fears that the elderly accused may not live to see verdicts."The accused Nuon Chea is fit to stand trial," Judge Nil Nonn said at the UN-backed Khmer Rouge war crimes court on Friday after speaking with medical experts.Despite the defendant's "advancing age and frailty", he said, he "remains capable of meaningful participation in his own defence".Nuon Chea, 86, the most senior surviving leader of the murderous communist regime which oversaw the "Killing Fields" era in the late 1970s, did not attend the hearing due to poor health, a clerk told the court.He is on trial with former Khmer Rouge head of state Khieu Samphan, 81, over war crimes and genocide charges.They include the forced movement of people - a policy of the brutal regime which emptied Cambodia's cities - and the execution of up to 3,000 former military officers found in mass graves in western Cambodia.The pair deny charges. Agrarian utopia The death on March 14 of regime co-founder Ieng Sary at the age of 87 intensified fears that the surviving pair may also die before verdicts can be reached in their trial, which began in June 2011.Ieng Sary's widow Ieng Thirith, the regime's former social affairs minister, was freed in September after being deemed unfit for trial due to dementia.Nuon Chea has suffered a number of illnesses, including high blood pressure, acute bronchitis and heart disease, prompting his defence team to argue that their client was too weak to stand trial.The tribunal has been dogged by funding shortages since it was set up in 2006 and was hit by a strike by local staff earlier this month over unpaid wages.Led by "Brother Number One" Pol Pot, who died in 1998, the Khmer Rouge from 1975-79 wiped out nearly a quarter of Cambodia's population through starvation, overwork or execution in a bid to create an agrarian utopia.

In a recent speech delivered at the occasion of the private sector side event of the Japan MDG Conference (Tokyo, 3 June 2011), attended by about 400 people, including Japanese company executives and representatives from over 40 diplomatic missions, UNDP Administrator Helen Clark speaks about the potential of the private sector for achieving the MDGs, making reference to the recent GIM Report "The MDGs: Everyone's Business", whose executive summary has just been translated into Japanese, and GIM case studies A to Z Textile Mills, Key Coffee (upcoming) and M-PESA.
Please find below a full transcription of the Administrator's speech:
Remarks by Helen Clark, UNDP Administrator
The MDGs and Business: Potentials of the Private Sector for Achievement of the MDGs
Japan MDG Conference – Tokyo, Japan, 3 June 2011, 15:00-17:30
I appreciate the opportunity to address this important side event on the potential for the private sector to support achieving the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).
I am particularly pleased to see the large number of people participating in this event, and I thank you for the commitment you are showing to the MDGs by being here.
When the MDGs were launched at the beginning of the new millennium, it was a time of hope. The eight goals were, and still are, the most comprehensive and universally agreed development goals. For the world's poorest and most vulnerable people, they held out the promise of a better life.
Over the last decade, we have seen impressive progress on the MDGs, including in least developed countries. That shows that with the right policies, adequate investments, and international support, the MDGs are achievable. Yet, significant challenges remain: many countries and people are being left behind, and the crises of recent years have placed additional obstacles in the way.
To deliver on the MDG promise of a decade ago, we need strong partnerships. In our interconnected world, the dividing line between "their" problems and "our" problems is getting obsolete. If our neighbours are poor and struggling, our prospects are affected too. Development is everybody's business.
In these efforts, the role of governments is critical, but they can't deliver the needed development results alone. Broad partnerships, including with the private sector, are needed.
The role of the private sector in MDG achievement
Economic growth, which is essential for development, is driven largely by the private sector. In many ways, businesses – from multinational corporations to micro, small, and medium sized enterprises generate the growth which can support MDG achievement.
For example, Mexico's private sector created more than twelve million jobs in the decade from 1989 to 1998, and microfinance has helped many of the world's poorest people get a fresh start.
How can businesses contribute?
There are many different ways in which businesses can contribute to MDG achievement:
First of all businesses can benefit the poor by including them in their core business operations, whether that be it as producers and business partners in their supply and distribution chains; as employees in the workplace; or as consumers in the marketplace.
There are many examples of companies which have successfully integrated the poor into their business models.
For example, A to Z Textile Mills of Tanzania is the sole African producer of long-lasting insecticide bed nets. Its products help the fight against malaria, and making them provides work for more than 3,000 women. That was made possible by a broad public-private partnership, involving, among others, the Japanese chemical company Sumitomo.
In the agricultural sector, another Japanese company, Key Coffee, is training, and providing a reliable source of income for, hundreds of Indonesian farmers, by sourcing quality Arabica coffee beans from them at fair prices.
A recently published UNDP report, "The MDGs: Everyone's Business", whose executive summary has just been translated into Japanese, provides many more examples of how businesses can contribute to the MDGs.
These examples show how it is possible both to be profitable and to improve the lives of poor people and communities. UNDP's "Growing Inclusive Markets" initiative promotes exactly such business models, where the pursuit of wealth creation, human progress, and environmental sustainability are seen as entirely compatible.
In Ghana, for example, UNDP's Green Commodities Facility facilitated a partnership between the government and Kraft-Cadbury. The result has been strengthened extension services for cocoa farmers, enabling them to adopt sustainable agricultural practices and increase their incomes.
A second way in which the private sector can make important contributions to advancing progress on the MDGs is through bringing low cost innovations to market.
There is now low cost mobile technology to conduct life saving heart scans; as there are energy efficient LED lamps which enable allow poor children to do their homework at night; smokeless stoves which support better health for those who labour over them; and mobile phone and internet applications which support small farmers and fishermen get access to better prices.
Innovations like these, when accessible to the poor, definitely can contribute to MDG achievement.
A third, and perhaps a more traditional way, for businesses to promote MDG achievement is by giving back to the community through corporate social responsibility activities and philanthropy. The scope and magnitude of these kinds of activities has multiplied in recent times – and indeed they need to be brought to scale more consistently to have wide impact.
The Business Call to Action is a global partnership of businesses, governments, and the UN which encourages and supports companies to adopt inclusive business models to spread the benefits of development.
The companies implementing the Call to Action fully appreciate that what benefits their bottom line can also benefit local communities. By adopting inclusive business models, they have pledged to generate jobs, to help farmers increase their productivity and incomes, and enable people to access affordable technology.
For example, Sumitomo Chemical, which I mentioned earlier, joined the Business Call to Action, and committed to increase the local production of bed nets in East and West Africa. That is generating 5,000 new jobs, and potentially saving 400,000 lives from malaria, over the next five years.
Another member company, Vodafone, is providing poor communities with basic financial services through its mobile money transfer platform 'M-PESA'. Launched in 2007 with Safaricom in Kenya, and now available in Afghanistan, Tanzania, and South Africa, it allows over sixteen million subscribers to transfer money and pay bills via their cell phones.
I encourage all of the businesses represented here today to join the Business Call to Action if they have not already done so.
Looking forward, one of UNDP´s ambitions is to build broader and more strategic alliances with the private sector and other partners, around key development challenges of common concern, such as the provision of energy, job creation, and supporting green growth.
By doing so, we not only advance development, but we also unlock the potential of the unrealized markets at the bottom of the economic ladder.
UNDP's new Istanbul International Centre for the Private Sector in Development, being established with support from the Government of Turkey, will be promoting best practice in inclusive business models and strategic dialogue with the private sector.
Helping to achieve the MDGs offers not only opportunities for corporate philanthropy, but also opportunities to build new markets and incorporate new players in value chains. All that is conducive to development, and will support development progress overall.

VANCOUVER, Canada — It was a bold stroke by Ducks Coach Bruce Boudreau, putting 20-year-old John Gibson in goal for his NHL debut Monday night with a division title in the balance.
Sixty complete minutes of hockey later by Gibson and his teammates, Boudreau's move looked like his most brilliant of the season as the Ducks defeated the Vancouver Canucks, 3-0, at Rogers Arena.
Gibson, with 18 saves, became the youngest goalie since Daren Puppa 29 years ago to post a shutout in his NHL debut, as a Ducks' defense Boudreau referred to as "spotty" during Monday's morning skate rose up to protect the youngster with 22 blocked shots.
"Anytime you're sitting there starting a 20-year-old kid, you're sitting there saying, 'Hey, if we don't play good, they could kill this guy,' " Boudreau said. "They really straightened out the problems we've been having.
"I wanted a complete defensive effort from the team. That's what we've been lacking for the last three weeks. It worked out … everyone was so solid defensively."
The victory puts Anaheim three points ahead of San Jose in the Pacific Division with a chance to clinch the title against the visiting Sharks on Wednesday.
It also gives the Ducks the thrill of hockey's No. 2 prospect realizing some potential at an ideal time as primary starter Jonas Hiller was held out of a back-to-back appearance amid his three-game losing streak and 6-9-3 rut since winning 14 straight games earlier this season.
"The team played really well in front of me, made my job easier, only had to make the regular saves," Gibson said. "Everyone realized it was a big game … that's why we had so much success."
Gibson's fellow rookie Frederik Andersen was unavailable on this trip after leaving Friday's game with a headache from a collision.
Boudreau said, "I don't know what it means to the goalie situation."
Gibson said the game's first five minutes "getting your feet wet" were the most anxious.
He was given a 1-0 lead 6 minutes 26 seconds into the game when forward Daniel Winnik stole the puck from defenseman Alexander Edler a few feet in front of the Canucks' net and beat goalie Eddie Lack.
Vancouver only had nine shots on goal through two periods, and was en route to missing 21 shots in all, with the Ducks blocking 22.
Center Nick Bonino threw punches when Vancouver swarmed too close to Gibson. Defenseman Francois Beauchemin encouraged the rookie in breaks. Rookie defenseman Hampus Lindholm intercepted a pass on a two-on-one threat.
Seconds later, defenseman Ben Lovejoy fired a long shot that forward Kyle Palmieri deflected in the net for his 14th goal and a 2-0 lead with 2:57 remaining in the second period.
Matt Beleskey made it 3-0 early in the third, and Gibson said he started thinking shutout, calling it "icing on the cake."
The Ducks also killed three penalties to improve to 21 for 24 when down a man dating to March 20.
Asked when he wants back in, Gibson smiled and responded, "That's not up to me."
The Ducks' five-game season sweep of Vancouver left Canucks' fans chanting for the firing of General Manager Mike Gillis after the team did not qualify for the playoffs for the first time in six years.

about eating raw oysters, sitting in their shells blue-grey,
cold, quivering. Whoever thought of eating one for the first time
surely did so on a dare. Is it any wonder, given the courage necessary,
that oysters have been defined as good for everything from bones
and brains, to appetites and sex?
doubt, the most literate description of oysters can be found in
M.F.K. Fisher's 60-page, quasi-cookbook, Consider the Oyster,
copyrighted in 1941, but as fresh as ever. In it, like a doctor
of gastronomy, Fisher prescribes very dry white wine a French
Chablis, Pouilly Fuisse, or Champagne as
the "safest" match for oysters, especially when the two
are served at the same chilly temperatures.
this wine advice was based on Fisher's practical experience "whether
they were correctly drunk or not, I was" there are no
writers or sommeliers to my knowledge who would beg to differ. The
wisdom of drinking light, puckery dry white wine with oysters is
not so much accepted as assumed like drinking water from a cup,
and eating sashimi with chopsticks.
From One Varietal, Many Wines
interesting thing about Chablis, Pouilly Fuisse and Champagne is
that all these wines are made from the same grape varietal, Chardonnay
(although Champagne, as my sommelier friends would remind me, is
usually blended from Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and smatterings of Pinot
Meunier). Knowing this, it might stand to reason that one could
substitute Chardonnay made from more readily available sources such
as California or Australia, but here is where logic gets screwy.
the grape growing regions of California and Australia are so much
warmer than those of France, Chardonnays from these areas generally
lack the lemony tartness and sense of lightness that make the French
wines so appropriate for oysters. By the same token, the same can
be said about most other white varietals associated with the warmer
(Southern) parts of France such as Viognier, Marsanne, and
Roussanne which tend to make lower acid, fuller alcohol wines,
less than optimal matches for the blue-grey oyster.
the other hand, white wines made from the Sauvignon Blanc grape no
matter where in the world it is grown tend to have a tarter
edge and lighter quality than warm climate grown Chardonnays and
Southern French whites. It is unclear why the original styles of
French Sauvignon Blanc sold by their place names, such as Sancerre
and Pouilly Fume, did not make it into Fisher's original treatise.
Neither did the simple, feathery light and lemony white wines made
from Picpoul (a grape name that literally translates as "lip
stinger"), which is probably the only white wine from
France's Mediterranean coast that makes an enduring match with oysters.
I suspect that M.F.K. drank what she liked best, which is always
the best policy anyway.
Over Matter
more popular today, especially in the western part of the U.S.,
are those known as Pacific oysters, belonging to Crassostrea
gigas, and cultivated in the waters off Western Canada, Washington,
Oregon and California. Also cultivated in the Pacific Northwest
are the smaller, native species called Olympia oysters, classified
as Ostrea lurida. Europeans, however, are more familiar
with flatter shelled oysters known as Belons, belonging to Ostrea
to popular opinion, not all oysters taste alike. Some are brinier,
some are creamier, some are leaner, some are fatter, and some even
have a "fruity" taste, vaguely suggestive of cucumber
and melons. Some of the differences in taste have to do with the
species, but mostly it has to do with the temperature of the waters
in which they are harvested; as well as the oyster's fabled muscle,
which constantly opens and closes to allow a flow of water and nutrients.
Geography Counts
is in the warmest waters off the East and Gulf Coasts of the
U.S. where that muscle is most put to work. As a result of
all that exercise, American East and Gulf Coast oysters tend to
be the leanest in meatiness, and have less of that creamy, fruity
taste savored by true-blue oyster lovers. In the coldest waters
off the Western coasts of Canada and the American Northwest oysters
live a more contented life, working that muscle much less and thereby
developing a plumper, juicier, fruitier taste mingling with more
distinctively briny, flinty flavors.
the fact that I have never, ever passed up a plate of raw oysters
anytime in my adult life, I confess that it took me years to figure
out which oysters are which, and only recently have I discovered
the wonderful variations of wine that the different oysters invite.
Still, I'm more likely to order my oysters like this: "I'll
take three of the small ones, three of the skinny ones, and six
of the big, fat ones." Considering the growing number of raw
bars and seafood restaurants springing up across the country, it
would behoove any oyster lover to at least consider the flavor profiles
associated with the shapes.
own, rather unscholarly findings, but with somewhat well practiced
wine matches:
coastal oysters tend to have a longer shaped shell, are leaner in
meatiness, yet still retain a moderately briny, salty, steely flavor,
delicious for eating raw or with no more than a squeeze of lemon
or splash of mignonette (a white wine vinegar/shallot dip). In restaurants
and markets these oysters are commonly sold by their points of origin
- such as Long Islands (the original Bluepoints), Wellfleets (from
Cape Cod), Delawares and Bristols (Maine). Similar to these are
the oysters off Eastern Canada, also sold by place names such as
"Novys" (from Nova Scotia), Malpecques (Prince Edward
Island) and Caraquets (New Brunswick).
lean, briny oysters of the Northeast, however, are not to be confused
with those of the decidedly warmer Gulf Coast (such as Florida's
Apalachicolas and Mississippi's Emerald Points), which are not just
lean, but also duller, flabbier, almost "muddy" or "swampy"
tasting a little better suited to cooking (i.e. oysters Rockefeller,
oyster po' boys, or stuffed into "carpetbagger" steaks)
than eating raw and plain.
to their lean and minerally taste, the easiest wine match for Northeastern
oysters is probably any bone dry white with perceptively minerally
or flinty qualities: ideally, the pure Sauvignon
Blancs from France's Loire River, most commonly bottled as Sancerre
or Pouilly Fume, and sometimes as Cheverny, Quincy or Menetou-Salon.
certainly acidic enough, Sauvignon Blancs of New Zealand and California are not quite as ideal since they tend to be fruity in flavor, and
completely void of stony, minerally or flinty tastes. The best alternatives
to Loire River Sauvignon Blancs are the trocken ("dry")
or halbtrocken ("half dry") white wines made from
Germany's Riesling grape, which can retain a zesty, slaty-mineral flavor. At only 9%
to 11% alcohol, German Rieslings sweep across the palate like a
light, lilting, perfumey breeze, sweetening the taste of oysters
with their natural lemon-lime acidity. Among the most reliable producers
of this style found in America are Zilliken, Pfeffingen, George
Breuer, von Hovel, Robert Weil, von Buhl and Dr. Burklin-Wolf.
good choices for long and lean Northeastern oysters are Spain's
flowery and flinty dry whites made from the Albarino grape (particularly
those of Lusco, Morgadio, or Pazo de Senoran). From France, light
and crisply dry Muscadet de Sevre et Maine, as well as classic Chablis,
Macon Villages, or Pouilly Fuisse from Burgundy are also great choices.
waters off the Northwest coasts of Canada and the U.S. are an oyster
lover's paradise, giving the broadest, roundest, fruitiest, fleshiest
and most creamy textured of bivalves. These variations of the Pacific
oyster are also usually sold by their place names, such as Hama
Hamas, Quilcenes, Hood Canals, Pearl Bays, Caraquets, Chef Creeks,
Sinkus and the biggest of all, Tottens (the latter, from the Totten
Inlets, literally a three or four bite oyster).
these fat styles of oysters, a fruitier, more aggressively aromatic
dry white with the requisite acidic underpinnings might be preferable.
Namely, Sauvignon Blancs from New Zealand (Giesen, Nautilus, Morton,
Brancott, and Villa Maria are five favorites), Sonoma County (Murphy-Goode,
Simi, Iron Horse, Kenwood, and Chateau St. Jean), and even the partially
oak influenced styles of Napa
Valley (Robert Mondavi, Duckhorn, Spottswoode, and St. Supery), Santa
Barbara (Babcock's "Eleven Oaks"), and Monterey (Carmenet and Ventana).
excellent Northwest oyster whites: Dry white Graves from France's
Bordeaux region; dryer, chalky textured Loire River whites made
from the Chenin Blanc grape (Savennieres, Saumur Blanc, and sec
or "dry" styles of Vouvray and Montlouis); dryer style
Rieslings from Germany or Alsace; Washington St. Semillon and Fume
Blanc; moderately scaled Gruner Veltliner from Austria and German,
Oregon, or Italian Pinot Gris (the latter sold as Pinot Grigio).
oysters are the Pacific Northwest's only native variety a different
species from the more abundant Pacific oysters and they are
small, mild, yet meaty, almost lushly flavorful. Always a treat!
there is the unique sub-species of Pacific oyster which originated
from Japan, but are now farm raised in Washington State and Northern
California: the dinky but pillowy plump, sweet, succulent, wildly
popular Kumamotos. I can't think of a better match than dry, graceful,
yeasty and crisply acidic French Champagne; although in a pinch,
any of the better California sparkling wine producers (Iron Horse,
Gloria Ferrer, Roederer Estate, Schramsberg, and even Korbel) would
certainly do just fine, as would almost any good Prosecco Brut from
Italy. There's something about the pert, palate slaking effervescence
of sparkling wines that practically shouts "Kumamoto."
and Kumamotos, in turn, call for anything light, white and more
on the lemony tart than fruity style, particularly France's Picpoul
and Muscadet from the Loire; the underappreciated Vinho Verde from
Portugal; and from Italy, Gavi (made from the Cortese grape) from
Piemonte and Grechetto from Umbria.
