Five Keys to the Game: Habs-Bruins Game 1
by Staff Writer / Montréal CanadiensMuscle Flexing
While analysts across the board are drooling over the Bruins' toughness, underestimating the grit inside the Habs' dressing room is a mistake. Throughout the regular season, no less than seven Canadiens dished out over 100 punishing body checks, good enough for sixth in the NHL in that category. Meanwhile, in Boston, only one player managed to crack the triple-digit benchmark. With 262 body checks on the year, the lone Bruin to enter into the century club was Milan Lucic, who finished sixth among league leaders in hits. Home Ice Disadvantage
Heading into a series as the higher seed comes with a few perks, including the right to home ice advantage. When it comes to the Montreal-Boston rivalry, though, starting the series off on home soil has been more trouble than it's worth for the Bruins. Since 1958, when Game 1 kicks off in Boston, the Canadiens have swooped in to play the spoiler 50% of the time, winning three of six such match-ups in Beantown.
Déjà VuDespite the change in venue for the series opener, the storyline looks a lot like it did in the first round last year. Two-thirds of the players suiting up in this series faced each other at the same time last year, when the Habs took Round 1 in seven games. Two of those players in particular have traded places, including the newest addition to the Canadiens' roster, Glen Metropolit, who scored the game-winner for the Bruins in Game 5 last season. Over in the bear's den, former Hab Michael Ryder will face his former team wearing the black and gold this time around.
In last year's playoffs, Sergei and Andrei Kostitsyn exploded out of the gate, producing a combined 11 points against the Bruins. The elder Belarusian notched three goals and added two assists in the series, while baby brother Sergei lit the lamp three times in addition to his three helpers.
Both teams boast incredibly rich histories. The Canadiens have been celebrating the franchise's Centennial in style this season, while the Bruins recently turned 85-years-young. The two Original Six teams also have their fair share of playoff games under their collective belts, with postseason experience in both dressing rooms hitting the high-triple digits. Current Montrealers have suited up for a combined 982 playoff match-ups, while the Bruins' total is a slightly more modest 847 games played. Both team's totals stem both from young talent who got their first taste of postseason action last year plus veteran leaders who own decades of NHL experience.

The profession of journalism is based on a relentless pursuit of the facts.
You don't become an expert by writing a news article. You become an expert by doing research and being right; by raising valid points that no one else is covering in the news. Over time, you earn respect and authority by consistently producing quality work. If one of your sources makes an accusation, it is your job to call the accused and get his side of the story. If someone references a statistic or percentage in an interview, it is your responsibility to confirm that figure before publishing it.
Watchdogs and journalists earn trust with the American people by being right. They double and triple check their words to ensure they say what they mean. They do not flippantly post a story just to scoop another publication. And in the rare occasion when a reporter does get something wrong, he or she has the integrity to print an update or a correction.
Facts change minds, not opinions.
Citing your facts and sources improves your credibility as a writer and reporter. Your readers don't have to take your word for it because they can read, hear, or see for themselves with the linked information you provide. For all you lawyers out there, think of it as proof without a reasonable doubt. As citizens grow more and more skeptical of government operations and media coverage, it is increasingly important that you "build your case" or write your article from an objective standpoint. Let the reader decide for himself, based on the facts you present, whether or not something is malicious or just business as usual.
The Wikipedia definition of "citation" sums it up pretty well: "A Citation has several important purposes: to uphold intellectual honesty (or avoiding plagiarism),to attribute prior or unoriginal work and ideas to the correct sources, to allow the reader to determine independently whether the referenced material supports the author's argument in the claimed way, and to help the reader gauge the strength and validity of the material the author has used."
Some helpful guidelines:
*Calling for comment or quote. When you are calling a person or organization to get a quote for a story, you want to take down specific details about the interaction. Who did you speak with, even if it was just a receptionist or personal assistant? Get the name and title of the person, as well as the date and time you spoke. Be sure to share your anticipated story deadline so the source knows when to call you back if he wants his perspective included in the article. The details become very important when/if someone claims that they never got a call from you to verify information or ask for a quote. If that happens, you will be ready with all the details to prove him wrong and protect your journalistic integrity.
SOURCE IT: You can print something like this: "Calls for comment to Organization X were not returned" or "The press office at Organization X declined to comment on this issue."
*Quoting a public speech. Public statements, press conferences, or speeches made by elected officials are fair game for quoting and printing in an article. But make sure you include "as stated at his press conference last Tuesday at the State Capitol" or "as explained in a public speech to the Rotary club last month." Since we are such a visual society, you may want to search for a video or audio clip of the speech so your readers can listen or watch for themselves. If you find one, be sure to credit the blog, news agency or individual who originally recorded the clip.
*Always give credit for original work– If you are including something in your article that is not your original reporting, you MUST cite it. There is no room for negotiation on this matter. If you didn't hear a quote with your own ears, you must say who did. If a source did not speak with you directly, you must explain who did. If you link to a video or photo, be sure to give credit where it's due.
People lie, but documents don't.
People can be lenient or even reckless with the truth- it's within their First Amendment right to do so. But you don't have that luxury when you are writing as a citizen journalist. You must pick and choose which sources are relevant and reliable. Just because you find someone willing to speak on the record about an issue doesn't mean he or she is the best person to speak with authority on that matter. It's much more reliable to find a document that supports a source's claim. Here are a few examples:
Confirming a basic fact:
CLAIM: "Suzie Q. used to work in the auto industry in Detroit."
SOURCE IT: There must be employment records and W2s to verify employment history. Are there any old coworkers you can find who will confirm? Is there a staff photo? Did the company have timecards you can refer to? Since it's the auto industry, she may have been a member of the union- check local membership lists.
Confirming a statistic or claim:
CLAIM: "Crime has been on a steady increase in this city for the last 5 years."
SOURCE IT: Where does that statistic come from? Call the local police department or the state's attorney office. Is there census data that can confirm these numbers? Also, what does the source consider "crime?"
Confirming rumor or heresay:
CLAIM: "I got a tip that the local GOP is falling apart and has no more supporters."
SOURCE IT: Did paid membership drop in the last year? How was attendance at their last convention? Has leadership been invited to speak or participate in any events lately? How is their financial support? Are donors still giving money?
*Press Releases– When you receive a press release (especially in e-mail format), you should examine a few key factors to verify that the document is authentic. Is there an official logo at the top that matches the one on the group's website? What email address was the press release sent from? Does the email address have an appropriate suffix? (.edu for education institution, .gov for government office or agency, .org for a non-profit group, etc.) Who is listed as the point of contact? Is that person listed as a staff member on the group's website?
SOURCE IT: You have a few different options. 1. Get a screenshot of the press release and include that in your story. You can upload as a .jpg image. 2. If the release is also on the group's website, link to their appropriate web page. 3. If you have a hard copy of the release, scan and save as a .pdf document, and then link to it. 4. Take a photo of the document and upload that to your story.
Note: If you have access to a document but are unsure how about how to include it in your story, we will help you with the technology. Email us at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Based just a few miles outside Edinburgh next to beautiful Seton House in East Lothian we offer quality car, commercial and 4x4 vehicle servicing and repairs. We are specialists in LPG conversion of car and light truck engines, especially Range Rovers and Land Rovers. In times of constantly rising oil prices Liquid Petroleum Gas (LPG) is an attractive alternative to common fuels like petrol and diesel. Automotive LP Gas is a clean-burning, high octane, abundant, environmentally friendly transportation fuel.

After that period you will be able to run your vehicle at a fraction of the previous cost. And from day one your car will be releasing considerably fewer emissions into the environment and helping to reduce pollution in the atmosphere.
Children can begin at The Compass as early as their pre-school year and this element of the School's provision has been highly commended on successive occasions by HM Inspectors and the Care Commission. Enjoying this level of excellence at such a significant point in their early schooling means that, at The Compass, firm foundations are laid for the rapid development of literacy and numeracy from the earliest stage. We offer a comprehensive and wide-ranging curriculum, with French and swimming being taught from age four. There is a strong emphasis on developing sound skills in English language and mathematics with which to access other subjects. Science, history, geography, Spanish and Latin are taught as specialist subjects from Primary Five upwards. As well as enjoying the challenges of academic subjects, children also enjoy many opportunities in music, drama and art. Mr Mark Becher, the Headmaster, believes that, "Children should have frequent opportunities to develop their confidence and self-esteem, for instance, performing in front of an audience. The Compass allows children to build their self-confidence and develop a strong belief in themselves in their day to day activities." In providing children with further challenges for personal development, we offer a wide-ranging outdoor education programme. During a normal school year, children take part in outward bound courses in Perthshire and Peebleshire, hill-walking challenges in the Pentlands and in the Scottish Highlands and expeditions to York and to London. Primary 7 pupils also enjoy an annual expedition to Paris. Extra-curricular activities too are an important feature of school life with numerous opportunities for children to enjoy after-school clubs and sport.

Naniwa superstone 10k best bang for the buck polishing stone.
Naniwa superstone 10k best bang for the buck polishing stone.
The difference between try and triumph is a little "umph"! NO EXCUSES!!!!!!!
Especially if you it a half thickness one, which will still last for years and years.
How would one work the king 800 into getting a nice kasumi finish without messing up the edge? I'm guessing use and then finish up the edge?
I think for a single bevel knife, you definitely want something that can bring out the kasumi finish and the contrast between the hagane (hard steel) and jingane (soft iron)
How about the Naniwa 2k Green Brick? Definately a polisher type stone, and quite muddy, it does kasumi finish well for a synthetic. Great last stone to use for a gyuto. I have had a dubious face shave off it, so it leaves a sharper edge than it's grit would indicate.
From what I have read before, Naniwa 8k, Naniwa 10k, Takenoko 6k/8k, Kitayama 8k; for the $50-$100 price range and polishing, builds up some mud and polishes higher than it's grit rating.
Step before, Syn Aoto Blue Brick(more mud), or Green Brick.
I don't know anything about Japanese naturals, but I remember seeing some in Jon Broida's videos and the one with Dave Martell. They use one or a few, might want to look into the videos for specific brands, and look up their reviews.
8k superstone is plenty good, IMO. Have you tried the 5k Rika? Do you really want a super fine edge?
Haven't tried it. I'm not really concerned about the fineness of the finish. I'm just looking for a muddy stone so I can have an even looking finish on single bevel knifes that aren't perfectly flat. So as long as I can mud it up and a complish that I'll be happy. I'm planning to get my hands on the king 800 ASAP And give that a shot.

Clint Black stands his ground
February 10th, 2014, 3:30 pm by KELLI SKYE FADROSKI, STAFF WRITERClint Black is country's nice guy, a traditionalist with a warm, welcoming smile and a smooth voice that has just the right amount of twang. He'd probably give you the shirt off his back. But the 52-year-old Texas native is no pushover – especially when it comes to his music.
Black rose to popularity at the turn of the '90s alongside future superstars Garth Brooks and Alan Jackson. He collected handfuls of awards and accolades and topped the country charts with "Killin' Time," "Put Yourself in My Shoes," "Nothin' but the Taillights," "Like the Rain" and "When I Say I Do," a duet with his actress-singer wife, Lisa Hartman.
When things started slowing down – the singer stepped away from the spotlight in 2001 after the birth of daughter Lily Pearl – he parted ways with longtime label RCA Nashville, taking his career into his own hands. He continued to write and record, releasing music independently via his own Equity Music Group, including his last full-length effort, 2005's Drinkin' Songs and Other Logic, and a collection of covers two years later, The Love Songs.
After Equity shut down a year later, Black toyed with the idea of signing with a major label again. Two years of negotiations later, he decided it wasn't in his best interest. "They didn't really like the fact that I was writing all of my own music and they wanted to provide me with songs – and I'm not doing that," he explained during a recent phone interview.

Up for sale today is an Ultimate Ears Triple.fi 10 Pro (not the 10iv with mic). The earphone is in like-new condition, about two years old, and I am its only owner. The case (small ding on the back, does not affect the interior) will be included as well as the stock 100-ohm attenuator (I will not sell this separately) and extension cable. Only the medium single-flange tips will be included. They are quite used but still fully functional. I can replace them with an unused pair of small single-flange tips if you want or include both pairs. I have the original packing, I can include it if you want it, though I don't really see the point.
I am willing to consider portable headphones in exchange. I am most interested in SR60i/80i/125i/iGrado (I am so not taking my SR325 outside!), ES55/88, and M80/V80, but I may still consider others if offered (except Ultrasones, Bose, Monster, and Koss).
- UE Triple.fi 10 Pro: $OLD shipped via Priority mail w/ tracking to anywhere.
Feel free to ask me any questions.
Thank you for looking! n__n

With my next post, my intent was to discuss the A's outfield situation but in light of Monday's trade I'm obviously going to focus on the infield.

They did so coming back from a deficit of five games with nine to pla...

In fact, the A's tied an Oakland record with 12 strait road victories, they have a one game cushion for the top wild card spot and only sit...

Wow, what a difference a couple of weeks make. I apologize for my recent lack of posting but as I mentioned last time, I recently got married and as you probably could imagine, was a little busy. Everything went great, my wife and I had a blast and everybody was shaking his or her behind on the dance floor. What more could you ask for? (Oh, and the A's won that day). Now, back to baseball. ...

No Deadline Deals for A's
Posted on 2 Aug 2012 by Josh Muller.
I apologize for being a bit MIA lately but I'm actually getting married in just over a week, so as you can imagine I've been a bit busy. Nonetheless, baseball goes on and so must we. The Oakland Athletics chose to stand pat at the July 31st waiver deadline, much to the dismay of the majority of their fan base, local media, and possibly many of the players. I can understand the frustration; ...

Oakland A's Deadline Preview
Posted on 19 Jul 2012 by Josh Muller.
As I write this, the A's are preparing to welcome the New York Yankees, who come to Oakland boasting the most wins in the majors. I'm not sure there is ever a good time to face the Yankees, but this four game series represents especially unfortunate timing for the A's. The Yankees are currently enjoying a 42 game streak where they have scored at least three runs and are approaching the ma...

A's First Half Report Card
Posted on 11 Jul 2012 by Josh Muller.
The All-Star break has arrived and at the symbolic halfway point of the year the Oakland A's, rather surprisingly, have the same number of wins (43) as they do losses. And though they trail considerably in the standings to the Rangers and Angels, who are first and second in the AL West respectively, there is a ton of baseball yet to be played. But what's even more intriguing is that, with t...

Kate proposes a simple method to achieve unique flavor in easy-to-make meals: umami, using ingredients like Ume Plum Vinegar and Tamarind, plus other flavor synergies. She also suggests holiday-related recipes in What To Eat This Month.
by Kate Heyhoe
What do Caesar Salad, Marinara Sauce and Chinese Beef with Broccoli have in common? They're all delicious, simple to make, and all umami-rich.
Last month I noted 2010 as the year of the Good Enough Revolution, and that we're moving away from complicated, time-sucking recipes and replacing them with ones that are simpler to prepare but just as mouth-watering.
One way to improvise your way to delicious dinners made with speed and ease is through umami, also known as savoriness and considered the fifth flavor (after sweet, salty, bitter, and sour.)
Once you understand umami, you'll be whipping up immensely tasty meals with just a few ingredients and a short spin in the kitchen.
Ever taste your own cooking and think, "This dish needs something," but you're not sure what to add? Next time you're caught scratching your head about what that elusive missing element is, peek into your pantry. Chances are it's right there, though it may not be obvious. It's not pepper or butter, tarragon or thyme, but just a dash of it will brighten these flavors, and all the ingredients in a dish.
It's known as umami, which joins sour, salty, bitter and sweet as the fifth basic taste our palates perceive. Ingredients in the umami family make everything you cook taste rounder, more complete, or simply speaking, more savory. And umami ingredients are all around us. For instance, you can get an instant umami boost with a sprinkle of aged Parmesan, a few mushrooms or dried mushroom powder, or (heavens to Betsy!) a squirt of supermarket-style ketchup.
Umami sounds complex, but you needn't delve too deeply to see how well umami works. Knowing which ingredients are umami-rich is a good start, and it helps to understand when to add them, ways to improvise, and how to create synergystic combinations—ones that will send even the crankiest star chefs into umami orbit.
Chances are you're already stocking an arsenal of umami-rich tools: all those specialty spices, seasonings, pastes, and spreads, bought for Asian, Indian, and other world cuisines. (They're typically lurking in the pantry or back of the fridge, partially used and waiting for the next time the cook feels like whipping up a Bombay buffet or Martin Yan dinner).
Many of these ingredients are intensely umami-rich, and can act as pivotal flavor boosters in any dish—such as fish sauce, pickled ginger, pomegranate molasses, or miso. By subtly integrating them into common dishes, the kind we cook by heart, we can inject a whole new level of flavor into the meals we enjoy everyday, and the ones we create for special occasions. Green beans, meatloaf, salads and chicken go from everyday repertoire to exciting meals, with just a dash, a pinch or splash of anything umami.
Sometimes a single unique "flavor" emerges from select combinations (like when painters mix yellow and blue to make green). A culinary artist can morph just two or three simple ingredients (not both of them umami ones, either) into one distinctive taste that's more than just the sum of their parts. For instance, in one shrimp dish, the late chef Michael Roberts, described the combination of cinnamon and orange as a new flavor, "reminiscent of both ingredients, but resembling neither." A typical pantry is full of under-utilized flavor boosters—foods that are now being called "umami-rich." By adding just a pinch or a spoonful to a recipe, you can round out and add sparkle to even the most mundane dish.
Without getting too technical, umami-style flavor-boosts rely on teaming taste buds with a particular set of amino acids found in some foods (but not all). It also has to do with the synergy between an umami-rich ingredient, such as soy sauce, on all the other ingredients. In other words, you may not be able to detect the spoonful of soy sauce, but the whole dish just tastes "better." (Find out more about the science of umami in the links below).
In other words, it takes two to tango. Umami-rich ingredients sometimes they work best when combined with specific partners. When this happens, all the flavors in a dish seem to heighten. Another way to look at the phenomenon is to think of umami-ingredients as the glue that holds all the other flavors together.
Tip: The ripening and aging of certain fresh foods can enhance their flavor-boosting abilities (as in ripe tomatoes and aged beef or cheese.) Pickled foods are umami-rich, too.
Next time you're caught scratching your head when you find a dish "needs something," try punching it up with just a dash or a spoonful of these common, everyday ingredients:
What else will add an instant-umami boost to the recipes you make everyday? Consider these two specialty ingredients as examples: Ume Plum Vinegar and Tamarind.
A first taste of this briny brew will make your eyes squint. But don't pass it up. Made from salted ume plums (actually a type of apricot) and red shiso leaves (which turn it pinky-purplish), just a few drops of this Japanese vinegar can be quite powerful, and it's best used instead of salt in a salad or sauce. In fact, with its low acidity, this condiment doesn't taste much like vinegar at all: it's more fruity-salty than puckery tart, but it has a clean, sharp quality that's pleasant and yet hard to pinpoint. Think of it as a very salty raspberry vinegar.
Best results: Use a wine vinegar in salad dressings as the main acidic element, then splash in some ume plum vinegar for a special undertone and roundness of flavor. Cut back on the salt, since ume plum vinegar adds considerable saltiness on its own.
Where to find it: Health and specialty food stores and in Japanese markets.
Other uses: Just a few drops punch up sauces, soups and vegetables. Carrots and fruit salads are especially good candidates for an ume plum accent, and so is ceviche (citrus-cured seafood).
Have you ever wondered what gives Worcestershire Sauce its elusive tang? Besides anchovies, tamarind is a main umami ingredient in this classic condiment. The flavor of tamarind is not quite citrus, nor as acidic as vinegar, but it is undeniably tart and a bit fruity. In some cultures it's as essential a souring agent as lemon juice is in the West. Try tamarind instead of a squirt of lemon juice in many everyday recipes. Essential to certain Asian and Indian curries, sauces, stir-fries, and Indonesian dishes, tamarind adds a special tang, giving foods a sour, sweet-tart flavor, and powerful umami-boost. If you see tamarind in the ingredient list on spice pastes and sauces, you can use them instead of pure tamarind, or add a few drops of Worcestershire.
Preparing tamarind: Look for two main types of tamarind paste in Asian, Indian, or Latin markets: bricks with seeds, and seedless pulp or concentrate. Cellophane-wrapped bricks contain the pulp and seeds; break off about 1 tablespoon and submerge it in 1/4 cup warm water for about 15 minutes. Press the softened pulp and liquid through a strainer over a bowl to separate the usable diluted pulp from the seeds and fibers. Tamarind concentrate contains pure pulp without seeds and can be used straight from the jar. Tip: When dissolving tamarind pulp, go ahead and make enough liquid to freeze in ice cube trays, ready for later use. Substitution: Lemon or lime juice mixed with a touch of brown sugar.
Best results: Use tamarind to add tartness to glazes, barbecue sauces, and stews, or with sautéed eggplant and grilled vegetables. Spoon a bit into glazed carrots, or deglaze a pan (of pork chop, chicken or steak drippings) with some water and tamarind.
Where to find it: Because of tamarind's widespread use, all sorts of ethnic markets carry some form of tamarind. Latin, Indian, Asian and Middle Eastern markets usually stock tamarind pulp with seeds, and sometimes even the actual pods. Seed-free pulp or concentrate is more often found in gourmet or specialty food stores, but some ethnic markets stock it as well.

New study: Gaming is good for you!
At least for your English grades, says new study from University of Helsinki:
Not so sure if this applies to native English speakers though...
Is it my imagination or are those silhouettes getting fatter as gaming time increases?
The actual findings are to be expected I think. More exposure to a language = better grasp of that language.
I guess my only real surprise would be that gaming alone would make a significant different to one's language diet. Isn't English pretty pervasive throughout the general internets also?Last edited by Rii; 09-11-2011 at 11:13 AM.
I think that's more likely to hurt your language skills.
Steam's language switcher is a big, big reason I often prefer to get my games there. Lately I've been working through games like Fallout 3 and the Mass Effects in Italian. (Oh, and Diablo II - Blizzard's download service with the new language-changing feature is also great.) It's been extremely helpful.
Yes and no. While I can't speak for every single non-native, I can speak for the french-speaking ones, and the truth is that the vast majority of them stick to french websites regardless of what it is they're looking for.
I work in IT, which is about as english-dominated an industry as it gets, and most of my colleagues will still prioritize websites like developpez or siteduzero when they have a work-related question. This is not helped by the way that Google "helpfully" suggests French search results if it so much as suspects you might not be a native yourself, even for searches worded in english.
As to the article itself, while I definitely recognize myself in what it describes (IIRC the first English word I learned outside of the classroom was "shotgun", which is very fitting) I'll add a caveat, though: This effect the researchers noted obviously only applies when gaming in English, either because the game itself is in English or because the online community surrounding it is English-dominated without any linguistic "ghettos" for non-natives to congregate to, and this is, in my experience, increasingly not the case.
I do not know why this is true of Finland, though, and would be interested of hearing from a Finn on this matter. I would suspect that they either do not have much choice in terms of dubbing, or that they are open enough to English that they could probably pick up the same language skills by just spending the same amount of time reading English books or watching undubbed movies.

For me it definitely was a major help. I started with cartoons (though I'd watch them only sporadically at relatives because where I was living we didn't have cable) and then moved on to PC games, and WoW at like 13/14 (which was when I got my first Internet connection) which really helped me understand the language better. This was all done unconsciously as I never tried to "learn" the language and didn't do English at school until high-school (which wasn't that helpful either since the rest of the class was so bad the lessons just stagnated). But in high-school my English was good enough to see me win the national Olympiad for English language and now it's good enough that I'm studying in the UK.
Hurrah for gaming!

Hmm, well the opportunity cost that isn't being taken into account, is it? If you're not playing games, you're interacting with people, or reading books, or watching T.V.
Very rarely any movies or TV-series (not to speak about video games!) get dubbed here, and those are mainly aimed for children, everything else uses subtitles, so the sound of English pretty much permeates through our "media atmosphere" effectively. Also, teaching English begins when kids are around 10 years old, which makes some pretty good basework for learning English. Myself, I learned pretty much before my 10th birthday because of playing Super Mario Bros. 64 with my father, who tried to translate things to me, but he was so damn slow that I grew frustrated. Though I've always been pretty linguistic person (Swedish, German, French and English), so I'd say I'm not an 'average' Finn.

I'm not from Finland, but Sweden has a similar tradition of not dubbing foreign films and television and we also start studying English quite early. It's an obligatory subject from 3rd to 9th grade (9-15 years old) in primary school and more or less everyone getting a theoretical education (and quite a few technical ones) in secondary school will have two or three more years of studying English there.
There are a few things about gaming that I think helped me a lot with becoming better at English.
The first is that usually when reading a text or watching a film it doesn't really matter if there are a few words or sentences you don't understand. As long as you get the bigger picture you can still enjoy the experience just fine. Same thing goes for school. You can usually work around things you aren't sure about. In computer games on the other hand, especially adventure games, understanding the details of what's going on and what you have to do is often very important. I'd have a dictionary next to me while playing Lucasarts games when I was young.
The second is the social aspect of gaming. Something I've noticed about Swedish people (and other Scandinavians as well) is that we're good at understanding spoken and written English and we usually don't have any problems with things like writing a letter, but we often have little practice actually speaking the language. In school you spend a lot of time learning words, pronunciation and grammar but you don't really learn how to have a conversation. In-game chat systems and even more so voice chat has made me much, much better at using English as a conversational language.
Third, taking a deeper interest in games means you'll eventually start reading and writing a lot more in English, whether it's sites like RPS, forum communities, MMO guilds or clans or whatever. Games journalism especially is absolutely awful in this country so if you want quality news and musings you'll have to find places like RPS.
It's a bit funny that these days, mostly due to the internet, the language I hear, read and write in is more often English than Swedish and I quite often find myself thinking in English. Even more worrying I'm sometimes struggling to express something in Swedish that I can articulate immediately in English. At the same time I'm nowhere near being able to use it with the practiced nonchalance one usually has with their native language, but maybe some day. :)

There are a few other studies regarding gaming and it's potential benefits. One study showed that playing "action video games" in this case a first person shooter, increases visual "contrast sensitivity" which is the ability to rapidly distinguish colors and shades from one another. The control for this was another "non-action" video game (the Sims I believe) which showed no improvement in subjects. That study was published in Nature Neuroscience 2 years ago: http://www.nature.com/neuro/journal/...l/nn.2296.html
Another study showed action video games improves decision making reaction time. One might think that perhaps video gamers were "trigger happy" but they actually found that these faster responses were actually also more accurate. This study was publish ed in Current Biology http://www.sciencedirect.com/science...60982210009425Last edited by herbbread; 18-11-2011 at 04:34 AM.

Need another incentive to eat garlic? Well, how about this: New research shows garlic is one of the healthiest foods you can consume.
AdvertisementGarlic has a variety of potent sulphur-containing compounds, which is the reason behind its characteristic pungent odor. Allicin, the vital compound among them, is known to have great antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, and antioxidant properties. Allicin's benefits are most available when it's finely chopped, minced, or pureed, then allowed to sit for some time.
Garlic is a reliable source of selenium as well. And allicin, along with other compounds (ajoene, alliin, etc.), found in garlic, also has an effect on the body's circulatory, digestive, and immunological systems, helping to lower blood pressure, detoxify, heal, etc.
Some aficionados may opt for taking garlic capsules, which is easier than consuming masses of garlic cloves. Another interesting finding about capsules is that they may help you achieve better muscle pumps in the gym, through enhanced nitric oxide production.
For 24 weeks, more than 200 subjects with high blood pressure were asked to consume garlic (300, 600, 900, 1,200, or 1,500 mg), atenolol, or a placebo daily, with researchers monitoring diastolic and systolic blood pressure. Result: By week 24, blood pressure had significantly improved with garlic use. Garlic brought improvements in both a dose-and duration-dependent manner, and even in ways comparable to drug use.
How garlic influences blood pressure is unclear, but researchers speculate it has to do with garlic's ability to produce hydrogen sulphide; its high allicin content; or its influence on nitric oxide production. - FLEX

5.13: Sometimes -s is [z], Sometimes [s]
1. Each of the following verbs ends with the suffix -s. Say each one carefully:
2. Sort the verbs into these two groups:
[s] | [z] | ||
elects | sniffs | gives | grows |
keeps | waits | holds | weighs |
unlocks | digests | says | fastens |
talks | strikes | resounds | seems |
coughs | unearths |
3. Analyze each of the verbs in which -s is pronounced [s] into its free stem and suffix:
Verbs with -s pronounced [s] | = Free Stem | + Suffix |
elects | = elect | + s |
keeps | = keep | + s |
unlocks | = unlock | + s |
talks | = talk | + s |
coughs | = cough | + s |
sniffs | = sniff | + s |
waits | = wait | + s |
digests | = digest | + s |
strikes | = strike | + s |
unearths | = unearth | + s |
Each of the free stems above should end with the sounds [p], [t], [f], [th], or [k].
4. When the suffix -s is added to a verb that ends in [p], [t], [f], [th], or [k], the -s is pronounced [s]. Everywhere else the suffix -s is pronounced [z].
Watch the Middles!
fastens | ||

Teaching Notes.
Item 4. Students may wonder about the seemingly arbitrary list of sounds after which -s is pronounced [s]. That list is due to our tendency to avoid putting voiced and unvoiced sounds together. The following table may be useful in making the list seem less arbitrary without necessarily immersing students in the technicalities of voicing.
Of course, if it seems appropriate, you could explain the difference between unvoiced and voiced sounds. The sounds in the left column are the unvoiced consonants in English. The sounds in the right column are their voiced partners. (For more on these unvoiced-voiced pairs and restraints on combining them, see AES, pp. 73-76.)
But if you choose not to get into the technicalities of voicing, you can simply make two points to the students about the sounds in the table: The first point is that sounds on the same row constitute a pair that are pronounced almost exactly the same (the difference being voicing). You can demonstrate this similarity of pronunciation by asking the students to pronounce the members of each pair or the sample words (for example, "[p], [b], [p], [b] . . ." or [pat], [bat], [pat], [bat] . . ."). Point out to them that with each pair, they hold their mouths the same way when they say the sound or word in the left column as they do when they say its partner in the right column. You may or may not add that there is a buzzing sound when they pronounce the sounds in the right column, that buzzing being the vocal cords vibrating when voiced sounds are pronounced..
The second point to make about the table is that we can put the sounds in the left column together ([ps] and [ts], as in cops and cats, for instance). And we can put sounds from the right column together ([bz] and [gz], as in cobs and dogs). But we cannot put sounds from the left column together with sounds from the right column (no [pz] or [tz] or [bs] or [gs].
All of the sounds after which the suffix -s is pronounced [s] are, like [s], in the left column. Whenever -s follows any of the sounds in the right column, it is pronounced [z], which is also in the right column.
The only other unvoiced sound in English is [h]. It is not in the table because it does not have a voiced partner and it does not ever come at the end of stems, so it never affects the pronunciation of -s. All other sounds are voiced: [m], [n], [ŋ], [l], [r], [w], [y] – and all vowels. Thus, we say that when -s follows any of the unvoiced sounds in the left column (other than [s], which is always followed by -es not -s), it is pronounced [s], and everywhere else it is pronounced [z] because everywhere else the -s suffix follows a voiced sound.
Left Column | Right Column |
[p] pat | [b] bat |
[t] tot | [d] dot |
[f] fine | [v] vine |
[s] sip | [z] zip |
[k] cod | [g] god |
[th] thin | [th] then |
[ch] chin | [j] gin |
[sh] dasher | [zh] azure |

BlackRock Inc., the worlds biggest money manager, named Russ Koesterich to the newly created position of chief investment strategist.
Koesterich will be responsible for communicating the firms strategy and market outlook to investors and financial advisers, New York-based BlackRock said today in a statement. Koesterich will report to Ken Kroner, global head of the firms multi-asset strategies group.
BlackRock, which manages $3.67 trillion, started a five- year branding campaign earlier this year as it seeks to get investors back into higher-yielding assets such as stocks. Chief Executive Officer Laurence D. Fink and other BlackRock executives have said that clients need to diversify and can be harmed by staying in cash-like products.
The financial world is more uncertain than its ever been and a succession of seismic events has left investors unsure of what to do next, Koesterich said in the statement. We believe that opportunities do exist for investors.
Koesterich, who in 2010 was named global investment strategist for BlackRocks iShares exchange-traded fund business, will continue in that role, according to todays statement. Koesterich was previously the global head of investment strategy for active equities and was a senior portfolio manager in the U.S. market-neutral group at Barclays Global Investors, which BlackRock acquired in 2009.

I would be fine with that. Going for 2 might not be so happy about it however. lol
You kind of have to. Your hands are somewhat tied. Benson has done pretty good against the Ravens historically. This week however that D will be out for blood.
I'm trying to figure out why Benson is projected at less than 5 points this week by Yahoo. Can't find any report that says he's hurt.

why do u even bother looking at yahoos projections
Well when a primary RB on a running team is projected at 4.9 points, I'm scrambling to see whats wrong with him. Just looks like a red flag to me.

hes playing Baltimore - that probably has something to do with it
What did Marshawn do last week?
[/quote]
got the ball 32 times and still got lucky because Balt was beat up from their battle with pitt the week before. Prototypical let down game from the Ravens

If you are old enough to be paying the cable bill, you're old enough to be saying, "Gosh, this year flew by." Yep. It really did. Especially if you are anything like the Men of a Certain Age, airing Mondays on TNT. With a cast made up of Ray Romano (Oh, my God, Everybody Loves Raymond! – loved that show), Scott Bakula (Oh, my God, Quantum Leap! – loved that show) and Andre Braugher (insert cricket-chirping sounds), you know this show has got its finger on the pulse of age-spotted wrists. This series dances that fine line between funny and way too close to home. But when given the option, choose laughter; it's the best medicine (for an enlarged prostate).
Setting the scene:
In a world filled with Zac Efrons and Justin Biebers, it doesn't make sense to think of middle-aged men (like, ever), but for argument's sake, let's remember the glory years of the Pittsburgh Steelers, Montreal Canadiens and Farrah Fawcett: back before the prostate trouble, ED, Viagra, Rogaine, trips to the bathroom in the middle of the night, Just for Men, Corvettes, reading glasses and alimony. We suggest you litter the room with as much of the aforementioned items as possible (brochures of the latest Corvettes, pamphlets on ED, reading glasses, hair coloring, and posters of Farrah and Princess Leia in her slave costume). Have samples of saw palmetto to support prostate health and Depend adult diapers to help them appreciate their relative youth and vitality. For fun, have Guitar Hero set up in the living room to help them recapture the garage bands of their adolescence.
Have replicas of Terry Bradshaw's Steelers jerseys on hand, and let the guys throw around a football in the house. It'll make them feel special.
On the menu:
Nothing too salty. Or spicy. (Basically, let's leave the salt and pepper to your stylist.) And no coffee this late at night. And no sweets – remember, your metabolism isn't what it used to be.
On the hi-fi:
You loved stadium rock, power ballads and the Boss. All good stuff. Getting Older by Oasis, Ooh La La by the Faces, Wouldn't It Be Nice by the Beach Boys, Cat's in the Cradle by Harry Chapin, As Good as I Once Was by Toby Keith, Hey Nineteen by Steely Dan.
The showstopper:
It's a little-known fact that middle-aged men feel terrible about themselves. Why? Because they look awful. (Ironically, love handles are nature's way of thinning the herd.) So order a Bowflex, and have the guys try it out for themselves.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The deal in the United States Congress to avert the "fiscal cliff" was proving elusive Sunday as a deadline to avert tax hikes on virtually every American worker and block sweeping spending cuts set to strike the Defense Department and other federal agencies grew perilously near.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell remained at odds on such key issues as the income threshold for higher tax rates and how to deal with inheritance taxes, among other issues. McConnell complained that Reid had yet to respond to a Republican offer made Saturday evening and reached out to Vice President Joe Biden, a longtime friend and former senator, in hopes of breaking the impasse.
Biden assumed the lead role for Democrats, and a McConnell spokesman said the Kentucky Republican and the vice president were expected to negotiate by telephone into the night.
One sign of progress came as Republicans withdrew a long-discussed proposal to slow future cost-of-living increases for Social Security recipients as part of a compromise to avoid the cliff. Democrats said earlier Sunday that proposal had put a damper on the talks, and Republican senators emerging from a closed-door caucus meeting said it is no longer part of the equation.
"I was really gratified to hear that Republicans have taken their demand for Social Security benefit cuts off the table. The truth is they should never have been on the table to begin with," Reid said late Sunday afternoon. "There is still significant distance between the two sides, but negotiations continue."
At stake are sweeping tax hikes and across-the-board spending cuts set to take effect at the turn of the year. Taken together, they've been dubbed the fiscal cliff, and economists warn the one-two punch — which leaders in both parties have said they want to avoid — could result in a big jump in employment, turmoil in financial markets and send the still-fragile economy back into recession.
The U.S. faces the fiscal cliff because the tax rate cuts enacted in 2001 and 2003 during President George W. Bush's administration expire on Dec. 31. The pending across-the-board reductions in government spending, which will slice money out of everything from social programs to the military, were put in place last year as an incentive to both parties to find ways to cut spending. That solution grew out of the two parties' inability in 2011 to agree to a grand bargain that would have taken a big bite out of the deficit.
Unless Obama and Congress act to stop them, about $536 billion in tax increases, touching nearly all Americans, will begin to take effect in January. That will be coupled with about $110 billion in spending cuts, about 8 percent of the annual budgets for most federal departments.
Sen. Dick Durbin, the No.2 Senate Democrat, said the two sides remained at odds over the income threshold for higher tax rates and tax levels on large estates. Republicans said that Democratic demands for new money to prevent a cut in Medicare payments to doctors and renew jobless benefits for the long-term unemployed should be financed with cuts elsewhere in the budget. Medicare is the government program that provides health care coverage to the elderly.
Republicans also balked at a Democratic proposal to use new tax revenues to shut off the across-the-board spending cuts, known as a sequester in Washington-speak.
Reid said he's been in frequent contact with President Barack Obama, who in a televised interview blamed Republicans for putting the shaky U.S. economy at risk.
"We have been talking to the Republicans ever since the election was over," Obama said in the interview that was taped Saturday and aired Sunday on NBC's "Meet the Press." ''They have had trouble saying yes to a number of repeated offers."
"The mood is discouraged," said Sen. Joe Lieberman, a Connecticut independent who caucuses with Democrats. He said he would be shocked if there was a deal Sunday. "The parties are much further apart than I hoped they'd be by now."
The pessimistic turn came as the House and Senate returned to the Capitol for a rare Sunday session. Reid and McConnell had hoped to have a blueprint to present to their rank and file by mid-afternoon.
"I'm concerned with the lack of urgency here. There's far too much at stake," McConnell said. "There is no single issue that remains an impossible sticking point — the sticking point appears to be a willingness, an interest or courage to close the deal."
McConnell and Reid were hoping for a deal that would prevent higher taxes for most Americans while letting rates rise at higher income levels, although the precise point at which that would occur was a major sticking point.
Obama had wanted to raise the tax rate on individuals making more than $200,000 a year and families making more than $250,000 from 35 percent to 39.6 percent. In talks with Republican House Speaker John Boehner, he offered to raise that threshold to $400,000.
The estate tax issue was particularly tricky since several Democrats, including veterans like Sen. Max Baucus of Montana, disagree with Obama's proposal to increase the top estate tax rate from 35 percent to 45 percent.
Republicans said Democrats pressed to turn off more than $200 billion in the across-the-board spending cuts over the coming two years. This so-called sequester is the punishment for last year's failure to strike a deficit-reducing deal by a "supercommittee" of House and Senate members.
Hopes for blocking across-the-board spending cuts were fading and Obama's proposal to renew the 2-percentage-point payroll tax cut wasn't even part of the discussion.
Obama pressed lawmakers to start where both sides say they agree — sparing middle-class families from looming tax hikes.
"If we can get that done, that takes a big bite out of the fiscal cliff. It avoids the worst outcomes. And we're then going to have some tough negotiations in terms of how we continue to reduce the deficit, grow the economy, create jobs," Obama said in the NBC interview.
Gone, however, is the talk of a grand deal that would tackle broad spending and revenue demands and set the nation on a course to lower deficits. Obama and Republican House Speaker John Boehner were once a couple of hundred billion dollars apart on a deal that would have reduced the deficit by more than $2 trillion over ten years.
Republicans have complained that Obama has demanded too much in tax revenue and hasn't proposed sufficient cuts or savings in the nation's massive health care programs.
Obama upped the pressure on Republicans to negotiate a fiscal deal, arguing that Republican leaders have rejected his past attempts to strike a bigger and more comprehensive bargain.
"The offers that I've made to them have been so fair that a lot of Democrats get mad at me," Obama said.
Boehner disagreed, saying Sunday that the president had been unwilling to agree to anything "that would require him to stand up to his own party."
The trimmed ambitions of today are a far cry from the upbeat bipartisan rhetoric of just six weeks ago, when the leadership of Congress went to the White House on Nov. 16 to set the stage for negotiations to come.
But the deal under discussion Sunday appeared unlikely to settle other outstanding issues, including the sequester, which would total more than $1 trillion in cuts over 10 years, divided equally between the Defense Department and other government agencies. And off the table completely is an extension of the nation's borrowing limit, which the government is on track to reach any day but which the Treasury can put off through accounting measures for about two months.
That means Obama and the Congress are already on a new collision path. Republicans say they intend to use the debt ceiling as leverage to extract more spending cuts from the president. Obama has been adamant that unlike 2011, when the country came close to defaulting on its debts, he will not yield to those Republican demands.
Lawmakers have until the new Congress convenes to pass any compromise, and even the calendar matters. Democrats said they had been told House Republicans might reject a deal until after Jan. 1, to avoid a vote to raise taxes before they had technically gone up, and then vote to cut taxes after they had risen.

Oracle9i SQL Reference Release 2 (9.2) Part Number A96540-02 |

Use the CREATE
statement to create a locally managed temporary tablespace, which is an allocation of space in the database that can contain schema objects for the duration of a session. If you subsequently assign this temporary tablespace to a particular user, then Oracle will also use this tablespace for sorting operations in transactions initiated by that user.
To create a tablespace to contain persistent schema objects, use the CREATE
To create a temporary tablespace that is dictionary managed, use the CREATE
statement with the TEMPORARY
See Also:
You must have the CREATE
system privilege.
Specify the name of the temporary tablespace.
Specify the tempfiles that make up the tablespace.
You can omit the TEMPFILE
clause only if the DB_CREATE_FILE_DEST
initialization parameter has been set. In this case, Oracle creates a 100 MB Oracle-managed tempfile in the default file destination specified in the parameter. The file has AUTOEXTEND
enabled and an unlimited maximum size. If the DB_CREATE_FILE_DEST
parameter is not set, then you must specify the TEMPFILE
See Also:
The temp_tablespace_extent
clause lets you specify how the tablespace is managed.
This clause indicates that some part of the tablespace is set aside for a bitmap. All temporary tablespaces created with the CREATE
statement have locally managed extents, so this clause is optional. To create a dictionary-managed temporary tablespace, use the CREATE
statement with the TEMPORARY
All extents of temporary tablespaces are the same size (uniform), so this keyword is optional. However, you must specify UNIFORM
in order to specify SIZE
Specify in bytes the size of the tablespace extents. Use K
or M
to specify the size in kilobytes or megabytes.
If you do not specify SIZE
, then Oracle uses the default extent size of 1M.
See Also:
Oracle9i Database Concepts for a discussion of locally managed tablespaces |
This statement shows how the temporary tablespace that serves as the default temporary tablespace for database users in the sample database was created:
CREATE TEMPORARY TABLESPACE temp_demo TEMPFILE 'temp01.dbf' SIZE 5M AUTOEXTEND ON;
If we assume the default database block size of 2K, and that each bit in the map represents one extent, then each bit maps 2,500 blocks.
The following example sets the default location for datafile creation and then creates a tablespace with an Oracle-managed tempfile in the default location. The tempfile is 100 M and is autoextensible with unlimited maximum size (the default values for Oracle-managed files):
ALTER SYSTEM SET DB_CREATE_FILE_DEST = '$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/log'; CREATE TEMPORARY TABLESPACE tbs_05;
