my kind of everyday pants
Added Jan 12, 2013
George, South Af...
I saw this beautiful floral material sometime ago… and I often thought what can I make with this?? I liked the material so much! At first, my idea was for a wide scarf. But then it hit me: pants!! Out came the trusty NewLook 6948 pattern, and here it is! I've been hearing it non-stop ever since.. it is super super comfortable and cool. The material feels like a cotton blend (maybe with chiffon, its so soft :) I modified the pattern slightly by adding elastic to the bottom hems and a fold-over knit instead of a drawstring.

- Location:
- Raleigh, NC
- Square Feet:

- What I Love About My Small Home:
- I love how my tiny 306 sqft studio apartment influences my life daily. I'm a young architect, so this studio inspires how I think about space. From the huge windows to the custom built-ins, every part of my apartment feels intentional and perfect. It makes me so happy!
WINDOWS: The large operable windows really make the space. There are three windows in the main space and one in the bathroom -- it's more than enough light to keep my studio naturally lit during the day. The west sun glowing through my translucent curtains makes me smile when I return home in the afternoon, especially when there's a breeze!
STORAGE: The amount of built-in storage is incredible. With a closet/shelf/built-in nook just outside the bathroom, and a hook/shelf/pantry combo at the entry, there is plenty of space to store or display my items. I even converted a former closet into a bed nook, which helps open the living space while providing a place to display photos and art.
- Biggest Challenge of Living in a Small Space:
- In a space as small as my studio, decorating is quite a challenge, as it can quickly overwhelm the space. I kept my furniture selection as petite and simple as possible. My green mini sofa was the perfect yard sale find, and definitely my favorite item in my apartment. I found my table with expanding leaves on craigslist and lightened it up with turquoise paint. The subtly colored antique bedroom set creates a cohesive look. This combination of furniture adds character and keeps my space feeling open and bright. Then the rest is up to the fun details –- mini cacti and succulents, year-round Christmas lights around cabinets and windows, CityFabric artwork of Prague and Raleigh, hand-screened dishtowels, and an old window on my desk displaying postcards.

She is finally starting to get better but the day we took her back because of the ear infection, she started having these green, very slimey poops. Is this from the virus or where she hasn't been nursing good and not getting enough hind milk? Has anyone else had this happen?

About New Politics
New Politics, published since 1986 as a semi-annual, follows in the tradition established in its first series (1961-1978) as an independent socialist forum for dialogue and debate on the left. It is committed to the advancement of the peace and anti-intervention movements. It stands in opposition to all forms of imperialism, and is uncompromising in its defense of feminism and affirmative action. In our pages there is broad coverage of labor and social movements, the international scene, as well as emphasis on cultural and intellectual history.
Above all, New Politics insists on the centrality of democracy to socialism and on the need to rely on mass movements from below for progressive social transformation.
New Politics is an independent socialist forum for dialogue and debate on the left. We support unions and workers' struggles throughout the world. We are committed to the advancement of the peace and anti-intervention movements. We stand in opposition to all forms of imperialism and oppression, and we are uncompromising in our defense of the rights of women, people of color, lesbians, gays and the transgendered. In our pages there is broad coverage of labor, social movements, and the international scene, as well as emphasis on cultural and intellectual history. Above all, New Politics insists on the centrality of democracy to socialism and on the need to rely on mass movements from below for progressive social transformation.
These are critical times. Not since before the New Deal have working people in this country been so vulnerable, and perhaps never before have big business and the right been so aggressive and dominant. Abroad, U.S. military and corporate power embraces the world in a stranglehold.
There are hopeful signs: resistance to austerity policies in Greece and France, strikes in China and South Africa, a violently-repressed but still living movement for democracy in Iran, new progressive social movements and socialist political parties in Latin America, heightened global outrage at the repression and intransigence of the Israeli state.
And here in the U.S., there have been some encouraging developments: a vibrant immigrant rights movement, growing opposition to the war in Afghanistan, grassroots demands for jobs and a real stimulus program, the beginnings of a backlash against Tea Party fanaticism. Yet the left remains too organizationally and intellectually weak to seriously challenge the Establishment.
New Politics seeks to revitalize the left as a step towards the creation of an international movement to replace capitalism, as well as non-capitalist exploitative systems, with socialism. NP is not attached or subordinated to any political party or institution. We stand for popular empowerment and democratic control at every level, opposition to all forms of authoritarianism, no matter how "leftist" their rhetoric -- in short, a politics of socialism from below.
During the Cold War, NP was a beacon of principled socialist clarity. It tirelessly exposed the lie that identified the socialist legacy with Communist states. NP championed the struggles of the 60s and 70s movements against the Vietnam War and U.S. intervention in Central America, for women's and black liberation, for union democracy and affirmative action. We enthusiastically supported struggles for democracy in the Soviet bloc. We have firmly defended the rights of both Palestinians and Israelis to self-determination and security.
Since the Cold War, we have spoken out against the ravages inflicted by neoliberalism in this country and throughout the world, and we have exposed U.S. imperial aggression in Somalia, the former Yugoslavia, Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Haiti and elsewhere.
NP has been inspired throughout by the vision of a "third camp." During the Cold War it meant "Neither Washington nor Moscow"; today it means opposing Washington's imperial aggression while making no apologies for its antagonists when they are anti-democratic, be they Milosevic, Saddam Hussein, Ahmadinejad, or authoritarian religious fundamentalists.
Today, surveying the bleak political landscape, especially in the U.S., some argue that the left should trim its sails and be modest in its ambitions. We dare not do this. Not caution, but bold and imaginative radicalism is needed.
The aim of NP is to provide a voice to help transform popular struggles for equality, peace, social justice and freedom of cultural expression into a conscious, intelligent movement for a democratic, just and peaceful world.

What They Say
"New Politics has served for many years as a thoughtful and constructive voice of the independent left. Its analyses and inquiries into a wide range of issues of critical importance have been a constant source of illumination. The journal has made significant contributions to the political culture, filling a role that is very badly needed."
-- Noam Chomsky"New Politics is an exciting venue for democratic debate. Constructive controversies and diverse perspectives enrich social justice theory and advocacy."
-- Gwendolyn Mink"New Politics has established itself as a leading independent radical journal. It is uncompromisingly committed to democracy and socialism while encouraging diversity and controversy. Its thoughtful, provocative articles have a permanent place in the literature of the American left."
-- Cornel West"New Politics speaks to a wide-ranging audience in a stimulating and thoughtful way with theoretical articles as well as essays on current political issues. It has an important place on my bookshelf."
-- Nancy Hartsock"History, far from coming to a stop is quickening pace. But the left is bewildered. Its project has to be reinvented. For this it needs a genuine debate. New Politics, open and controversial, but also international and firmly anti-capitalist in outlook is a precious instrument in that search."
-- Daniel Singer (1926-2000)"In these mean times when every aspect of economic, social and racial justice is under assault, when the poor are penalized and the rich rewarded, New Politics, more than ever, has a role to play as an independent journal of the socialist left."
-- Elaine Bernard"New Politics is one of the most exciting and serious American journals on the left today. As an eco-anarchist, I believe it provides a multi-spectrum forum for a wide range of articles. It is a welcome presence in a time of compromise with and adaptation to capitalist society. It deserves strong support from radicals of all kinds."
-- Murray Bookchin (1921-2006)"For the best in independent left scholarship, I go to NP. It's stimulating article son the major questions of our day makes it indispensible reading for anti-racist feminists as well as other dissenters from Bush's America."
-- Ellen Boris"International in perspective, democratic in spirit, and American in its roots, New Politics stubbornly refuses to surrender the dream of socialism or to give the reader the easy comfort of feeling history can only be observed."
-- David McReynolds"The editors of New Politics have stated their position and they will not yield an inch to bureaucracy, moral corruption or any of the thousands of little vices known to governments, labor organizations and liberal institutions. At once principled and controversial, theirs is consequently the most fearless and the most consistently radical journal that I see."
-- Paul Buhle"It's been a long, long history that the founders of New Politics and I have traveled together, with loops and turns along the way. New Politics has always been an essential part of my journey and to my thinking through the world we live in."
-- Deborah Meier"For nearly two generations NP has been essential reading for anyone who seeks to make sense of the great social conflicts of our era."
-- Nelson Lichtenstein

According to reports, Hill will have an MRI on Monday to determine how extensive the damage is, but at this point Rex Ryan did not speak about how serious it is yet per Rich Cimini on ESPN NY.
Rex Ryan said he didn't know the extent.Hill was starting to turn a corner so if this is the last time he gets to see on the field this year that will be a shame. Still, Hill has started to show some of his potential more recently and that's a good sign for his future, but if this is it for him this year, it's going to be a long offseason and going to take a lot of work for him to get everything back together and ready to go by the start of next summer.
"Man, that was tough," he said. "The young man, I saw him getting better. Hopefully, it's not severe."
If in fact Hill doesn't play another down this season, that's one less weapon for Sanchez and the passing game to work with. Over the course of the year almost every player at the receiver spot as well as Dustin Keller have been out with injuries at some point. All the more reason to commit to the run in coming weeks.
We'll hope for the best in the news tomorrow, but will keep our fingers crossed until then.

The Southwest chile pepper industry is at a major crossroads and time will determine if mechanization and other advances will help save the industry hit hard by foreign competition.
"Our challenges as the (New Mexico) chile industry all revolve around labor," said Dino Cervantes, treasurer, New Mexico Chile Association (NMCA). "Our foreign competitors have a huge advantage over us in terms of (lower-priced) hand labor costs. Until we have mechanization, foreign producers will have an advantage over us."
Cervantes is a partner in the family-owned Cervantes Enterprises in La Mesa, N.M. He discussed pepper issues during the 20th International Pepper Conference in Las Cruces, N.M., in September. About 150 pepper researchers, processors, growers, and other industry representatives from 20 states and 12 countries attended the event.
About 80 percent of the chile peppers consumed in the United States are imported, largely due to lower hand labor costs.
China produces more than 50 percent of the world's supply of all types of peppers – about 14 million metric tons annually. Mexico is the second largest producer followed by Indonesia, Turkey, Spain and the United States. California is the largest all-pepper producer in the U.S. with about 320,000 metric tons annually.
New Mexico is the nation's largest chile pepper grower, followed by California, Arizona and Texas.
Plummeting New Mexico acreage
In the last 20 years, New Mexico chile acreage has plummeted by about two-thirds – from about from 35,000 acres in the early 1990s to about 12,300 acres today, according to the National Agricultural Statistics Service.
"This acreage reduction corresponds to the North American Free Trade Agreement which caused a lot of production to move to Mexico," said Ed Hughs, research leader with the USDA's Agricultural Research Service (ARS).
Hughs is based at the Southwest Cotton Ginning Research Laboratory in Mesilla Park, N.M. He delivered a presentation prepared by the ARS' Paul Funk.
"Mechanization is an absolute necessity," Hughs said. "Our harvest costs can be 50 percent of the total production costs. We can compete in land, fertilizer, and other costs except labor, which can be six to 30 times higher than other countries. Mechanization is a labor-saving way to keep the producer in business and the industry healthy."
About 100 percent of U.S. red chile and paprika peppers are currently mechanically harvested, along with about 90 percent of the jalapeno crop. Hughs says the major need for mechanization is in fresh market and fresh-for-frozen green peppers which are almost all hand harvested.
More than 200 mechanical harvesters have been developed and tested around the world. Green chile is still mostly picked by hand due to harvester damage to the pod and the need to de-stem the pod for the whole green chile market.
In 2008, the Southwestern Cotton Ginning Research Laboratory and NMSU evaluated five harvester designs in a field with five green chile varieties.
"The ideal green chile machine must be gentle and cause less damage and field loss," Hughs said to the pepper crowd. "The only machine that came close to meeting the criteria was an Israeli machine that is currently commercially available. Nearly 80 percent of the fruit harvested by the machine was marketable. One chile was broken for every eight chiles harvested whole."
The USDA-ARS unveiled a green chile harvester during a pepper conference tour stop at the Leyendecker Plant Science Research Center.
"We are trying to reduce human drudgery (hand picking) and keep the producer in business," Hughs said.
Also on display at the Leyendecker facility was a green chile de-stemmer which will be brought to market. The de-stemmer was developed after four years of work and 15 prototypes, under a partnership between the NMCA and the New Mexico State University's Manufacturing Technology and Engineering Center (M-TEC).
The 40-foot-long, 10-lane "computer controller cutter" utilizes six Windows-based computers plus video cameras to identify the stem on the chile. Scissor-shaped knives cut the stem off at the rate of 10,000 pounds per hour.
M-TEC will test the de-stemmer at processing plants this fall.
"Our target is a 90-95 percent de-stem rate with less than a 10 percent yield loss," said Ryan Herbon, M-TEC's de-stemmer project leader.
Doña Ana County's declining status
Doña Ana County is the top chile producing county in New Mexico with about 3,900 acres in 2009. Jeff Anderson, NMSU Extension agronomy and horticulture agent for the county, calls the status of the county's chile industry "shaky."
Anderson says the major causes in acreage decline over the years include (in order): disease pressure; urban development with rising land prices; an aging grower population; and labor.
"Before more restrictive immigration laws and 9-11 it was easier to get laborers from Mexico who were willing to work in the chile fields," Anderson said.
He believes the chile industry will level out over time in part due to ongoing NMSU genetic pest and disease resistance breeding, including the control of phytophthora.
"Once we get a handle on breeding for disease resistance and improving the soil health there will probably be an upsurge in chile production," Anderson said. "But we must also have mechanization to keep competitive and moving forward."
In conversations with chile growers, Anderson says some growers are considering switching from annual crops including chile to pecan production. Chile in New Mexico is usually rotated with cotton, onions and alfalfa.
Even with current higher cotton prices, Anderson does not see cotton as a current, viable economical crop locally for now due to overproduction overseas.
"There are exciting things ahead, however, with gossypol-free cotton," Anderson said. "Gossypol-free cotton seed can be used for cattle and chicken feed, plus human consumption since it's very high in protein. "This may be an incentive to give the cotton industry a push and keep chile as a viable crop for New Mexico."
Doña Ana County's top acreage crops, in order, include pecans (more than 25,000 acres), alfalfa, onion and chile.
In addition to formal presentations, pepper conference attendees participated in red and green-based chile tours, and a tour of the Hatch, N.M., chile-growing region, the chile production capital of the world.
Those on the green trip toured Border Foods, Inc., the largest green chile and jalapeno processing facility in the world located in Deming, N.M. Most of the chile processed at the plant is grown in New Mexico with some brought in from Mexico.
Chile pepper production provides about 15,000 full- and part-time jobs and about $465 million to the New Mexico economy.

Need a staycation?
August 31, 2012
KINGS BEACH andamp;#8212; Imagine taking off, Subie stuffed to the brim with luggage, beach accouterments, two teen boys, camping gear topping the roof rack for the sometimes hectic highway drive to Santa Cruz. That was summer 2011. Fun, fantastic, and the most exhausting five-day vacay herding kiddies while pretending you don't exist (let's not even think about the child missing-for-two hours incident) unless you are supplying food or flash cash.Fast forward to August 2012, when said Subie is packed minimally for a Kings Beach andamp;#8220;staycationandamp;#8221; at Ferrari's Crown Resort. I am torn about sharing, for fear of filling the books before a second, shoulder-season reservation is secured.I grabbed the traditional Starbucks road-trip tall boy, popped over Highway 267, and there she sparkled in her huge blue glory: Lake Tahoe. The archetypal vacation thrill ran up my spine, slightly heightened by the bev. A 20-minute drive that didn't suck up a precious beach day. Or gas money. Fabulous.At the andamp;#8220;Crown,andamp;#8221; we checked in to delightfully fresh, clean accommodations in the non-smoking resort, situated lake front in the center of Kings Beach. Major dilemma: Swim in one of two pools, hit the hot tubs (all of which have stunning deck views overlooking Lake Tahoe) or mosey down to the private beach and dive into the achingly clear Lake Tahoe waters. Confession: I am a swim junkie beach addict.The tan, sandy beach gives way to a shallow, extensive myriad azure, aqua, turquoise to the deepest royal blue lake. The Crown has a private beach dotted with lounge chairs, where the vacationers flocked world-wide from all walks of life. German, French and English couples relaxed, swam and chatted. My buddy Katie from Alpine, with her lingering Austrian accent, dropped by the Crown to visit her friend in from London. A lawyer from Marin, retired businessman from San Diego, a family from Reno have all visited the resort for years upon years. The Reno gentleman, also with a teen in tow, said an adieu with prayerful thanks for the convenience of a Ferrari's staycation and Lake Tahoe. Seriously, Lake Tahoe effects the soul.

Police are treating an attack by loyalists on a police officer in Belfast on Monday night as attempted murder.
A gang of 15 men tossed a petrol bomb into his unmarked vehicle after surrounding and smashing it outside the offices of Alliance Party MP Naomi Long.
It was the worst incident in another night of sporadic violence in parts of east and south Belfast involving loyalists who took to the streets again in protest against a decision by Belfast City Council to restrict the flying of the Union flag at Belfast City Hall.
PSNI Assistant Chief Constable George Hamilton said the officer was lucky to escape with his life outside the MP's office on the Newtownards Road. He said: "This was a planned attempt to kill a police officer which also put the lives of the public in danger and it is fortunate there were no injuries." Officers were also attacked with petrol bombs in south Belfast close to the M1.
More talks are planned on Tuesday between Peter Robinson, the Northern Ireland First Minister and leader of the Democratic Unionist Party, with Mike Nesbitt, leader of the Ulster Unionist Party, to try to agree some sort of political strategy to ease tensions and end the violence. It follows a meeting between the pair in Belfast on Monday.
They have been heavily criticised by nationalist representatives over their leadership since the trouble flared a week ago. The trouble followed a council decision to limit the flying of the Union flag to designated days. Ms Long's Alliance Party has been blamed by loyalists for supporting the nationalist SDLP and Sinn Fein in pushing through the vote to lower the flag.
Ms Long said the attacks were "madness" and called for the British Government to step in to stop the violence. Speaking to BBC Breakfast, she said: "Last night's attack on two officers guarding my office was a wanton and gratuitous act of attempted murder. There needs to be strong political leadership at this time and not simply left to the police to deal with."
She added: "My heart is breaking for Northern Ireland this morning. We cannot give in to the acts of violence. We owe it to the people of Northern Ireland to keep the peace process intact."
There were also protests on Monday night in Limavady, Co Londonderry, Ballyclare, Co Antrim, Ballycastle, Co Antrim, and Cookstown, Co Tyrone, where the car of a DUP member of the Northern Ireland Assembly, Ian McCrea, was surrounded by angry loyalists.
PSNI Chief Constable Matt Baggott said the some of the violence was intense and there was clearly some paramilitary involvement. It was fortunate no one was seriously injured, he claimed, adding that the situation in some areas was very tense. He said: "There has to be a collective voice to bring this to an end."

Every month, your local Performance Bicycle store has a free in-store clinic about an array of cycling topics, from basic bike maintenance to more advanced subjects like adjusting your derailleur. Having just returned from a trip to France, this author was interested by the latest clinic topic, "traveling with your bike and gear". Our Spin Doctor in-store clinics can vary a bit according to who attends and what specifics they want to learn, but in this post I wanted to cover the topic that caused me much trepidation before I headed overseas with my bike: packing up my bike in a bike case.
Bringing your own bike on a trip is always the best, since you will be comfortable with your bike right away and all you need to worry about is enjoying the ride at your destination. But I, like many people, was worried about packing up my bike securely for my big trip. It turns out that it's really not that difficult a process, and only takes a little planning once you have seen it demonstrated. With that in mind, I headed over to our Chapel Hill, NC store this past Thursday, the night of the latest Spin Doctor clinic, to enlist the help of one of our friendly store employees, Brian, in shooting a short video on how to pack up a bike in a travel case.
Before we get to the video, though, I wanted to go over a few lessons I learned while traveling with my bike (specifically if you are traveling by plane):
- Be vigilant of anything that can rub together in your case–friction is your enemy and your case will undoubtedly be tossed around a bit if you are checking your bike on an airplane. I ended up with a some scuffed up spokes when I unpacked my bike in France, as I neglected to pack my wheels in wheel bags for protection.
- Be aware of weight and size restrictions for checked luggage, as these vary by airline. It's best to know what the listed rate is for a particular airline, to avoid being overcharged, but I also found that sometimes airline personnel will simply check in your bike as a second piece of checked luggage (which is much cheaper than the bike-specific fee) as long as you are below the over-weight limit, normally 50 lbs.
- Put a bunch of stickers or other identifying markers all over your bike case–odds are if you are traveling to a bike-friendly locale, someone else will be too, so having a distinctive mark on your own case helps alleviate any confusion upon arrival (since big black or gray bike cases tend to look the same!)
In terms of the actual process of packing up a bike in a case, it's actually less intimidating than you might first think. All you need to do the job is a little patience and a set of allen/hex wrenches (plus possibly a set of open-end wrenches and/or a pedal wrench). To disassemble your bike for packing you will need to be able to remove your:
- seat post (don't forget to mark your post height)
- wheels and skewers
- pedals
- stem (you can leave your handlebars attached to your stem & just remove the entire stem/handlebar assembly from the fork steerer tube–just remember to screw in the headset top cap after removing the stem)
For some cases you will also need to remove the rear derailleur to avoid any damage (to the derailleur or the derailleur hanger). Then it's just a matter of situating the bike in the case so everything fits comfortably (which can vary from case to case).
But I find that it's easier to actually see how the process works after reading a description, so we put together this short video that shows how to pack a Pro Bike Case for travel. You may need to tweak these instructions for different case designs, but the basic concepts should remain the same no matter what case you use (although most cases don't have a handy inner stabilizer frame). And don't worry, if you still have questions about packing up your bike, just head down to your local Performance store or give Spin Doctor Product Services a call; they'll be happy to help!

Another story about my grandfather EISWERTH during WWII.
Past Down's of Dad's Navy Days (USS Helena) by Jim Eiswerth
My dad, has talked about some of his days in the US Navy during and after WWII. For someone 88 years old, he still remembers several interesting things from his sailor days, including his Navy serial number!
After basic training up in the Great Lakes, dad was first stationed at the Naval Air Station at Quonset Point, Rhode Island. In the Navy dad was trained to be a sheet metal mechanic primarily in support of Navy aircraft, but ended up working long hours in the control tower at Quonset Point NAS. Later near the end of the war, dad was reassigned to the USS Helena, which was a new replacement heavy cruiser for the old Helena that sank during the Pacific war with Japan.
Being a farm boy from the middle of Pennsylvania, dad had little exposure to aircraft of any type. However he got very familiar with the Navy's aircraft while at Quonset Point. When he boarded the USS Helena, near Boston, he was again assigned to support the cruiser's scout airplanes, which were used to search for enemy submarines. The scout planes were launched off the fantail catapults, and were recovered using a crane as the planes motored up near the rear of the ship.
One of the first things that dad noticed was that the ship's company wore black shoes, while the air crews working the planes all wore brown shoes. The differences went a lot further than just shoes. On the Helena, the air crew was obviously a very small part of the overall Helena crew. They got to be very close friends, from the pilots on down in the ranks. The pilots all had call sign names they used while flying, and preferred to be addressed by those names, when there were no higher ranking officers around. The pilots knew that they were always counting on air team to keep them safe while flying, and always showed a lot of gratitude. Dad still remembered his Overall flight Commander who was Lt. Strawn, and several of the pilots, Ensigns Alberti, Bifield, and Davis.
Since the Helena was a new ship, one of the first cruises it took was south towards Cuba to fully check out the ship and its equipment. However only the ship's officers knew where they were headed, as secrecy was still important. Dad never knew where they were, but a few crewmen from the Helena many years later wrote stories about their experiences on the ship, and we discovered that the area north of Cuba was definitely where they went. Dad did remember the warm days and lots of ongoing operations to shake down the equipment.
After the shake down was completed, the ship headed back north and ran smack into a hurricane off North Carolina. The hurricane was severe and ripped one of the scout planes off its mounts and heavily damaged the plane. The sea was so rough that no one was allowed out on deck, and dad said many sailors got very sea sick. Dad admits he snuck up to hatch on deck to crack it open and get some fresh air and to keep from getting sick too.
Later during the storm, the Captain of the ship announced over the emergency loud speakers that there was an aviation fuel spill, the smoking lamp was out, and the air crew was to report immediately to their area. Dad said that several barrels of aviation gas had broken loose from their chains, and had spilled onto the storage floor. There were several inches of fuel on the floor and the risk of fire was extremely high. They immediately hooked up hoses and started to flush the fuel out into the ocean. Dad was surprised to see the Executive Officer, Commander Chen, wearing his slippers, working right along with them to clean up the fuel as fast as possible. Commander Chen rushed from his state room to make sure the fire risk was addressed ASAP. That really impressed dad too. When the fuel mess was finally cleaned up, Commander Chen personally thanked each of the guys. Dad said he was glad he was cleaning up the fuel compared to the guys that had to clean up the ship from all the sea sick sailors.
On the ship, the sailors slept in hammocks. Dad said they were comfortable after you got use to them. His hammock was aligned with the pitch of the ship, so that help cancel out / quiet down all the ship's rolling movements. In their area, there was one sailor that had pretty poor hygiene and loved to work out in the weight room often. He didn't shower regularly, so the other sailors in the area finally had had enough of his stink. They stripped him and dragged him into the shower and scrubbed him with brushes, and threatened to continue that if he didn't improve his habits. Needless to say he got the message, and a clean well exfoliated skin.
As the ship travelled north towards New York for Navy Day, the entire crew went about cleaning the ship and fixing the equipment damaged in the hurricane. The damaged scout plane was in such bad shape that only a few major parts were salvaged before the plane was dumped over the side into the Atlantic. Word got around on the ship that President Truman was planning to come aboard the Helena while it was in New York, as part of the Navy Day celebration. The ship was polished and ready as they came into New York's harbor, but Truman never stepped on board.
After a few days in New York, my dad got his final orders and his Honorable Discharge papers. He packed up all his belongings and as he was leaving the Helena, his Executive Officer, Commander Chen, who helped clean up the aviation gas spill, was there to shake his hand and wish him well. He saluted the officers and the ships flag and headed down the gangplank towards civilian life again.
Dad said he was on a train going back to Pennsylvania, when they stopped in some small town for a quick break. He ordered a sandwich and while he was eating it, it finally hit him that he was a civilian again. Within a few hours he was back on the farm with his parents (my grandparents).
Dad said he went into the Navy a skinny 130 pounds and came out of the Navy well over 160 pounds. So I guess the Navy agreed with him. I think if he made the rank of Chief, my dad may have stayed in the Navy a little longer. I know airplanes have been a continuing interest and hobby all his life, and it is probably one of the main reasons I became an Aeronautical/Aerospace Engineer too. Just one of the many things I still love to chat with my dad about.

On the Brink: Plenty to discuss as Obama heads to Israel
Jason Reed / Reuters, file
President Barack Obama meets with Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in the Oval Office of the White House in Washington on March 5, 2012. They are due to meet again on Wednesday.
In the third part of our "On the Brink" series previewing President Barack Obama's trip to the Middle East, NBC News correspondent Martin Fletcher – who has reported from the region for three decades – examines the chances that American pressure will help restart Israeli-Palestinian peace talks.
News analysis
TEL AVIV, Israel - President Barack Obama will spend about seven hours with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Wednesday, with one scheduled meeting having turning into three.
He will have a lot to talk about.
Obama will also spend five hours with Palestinian leaders, but have much less to discuss. One item will dominate the agenda – how to form a Palestinian state.
Abed Al Hashlamoun / EPA
A group of Palestinian men protest the closure of the main southwest entrance to Hebron, in the West Bank, on March 8. The entrance was closed by Israeli troops due to its proximity to the Jewish settlement of Beit Hagay.
Palestinians are not holding their breath. Hints of restarting peace talks within a year do not convince young Palestinians who say they want concrete progress, now.
Widespread demonstrations by the young against Obama are expected in the West Bank. Meanwhile in Gaza, which Obama will not visit because it is controlled by militant group Hamas, is expected largely to ignore the American president's visit.
This strengthens Israel's claim that it has no partner for peace. What point is there, Netanyahu has asked, in reaching an agreement with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas if he only speaks for half the Palestinians? In fact, Hamas calls Abbas a traitor for even trying to reach an agreement with Israel.
Also in this series: Syria chaos looms large over Obama's Israel trip There also is not much of a chance that Obama will put too much pressure on Israel or the Palestinians. Analysts in both camps believe that Obama's message will boil down to this – We have tried hard in the past and we got nowhere and got no thanks from anyone. We cannot want peace more than you do. So call when you are ready.
In the absence of any hope and seeing more and more of their land swallowed up by the Israelis, many Palestinians may well resort to the only tool they think works – violence.
Although Abbas is an enemy of violence and has reportedly ordered his security forces to stop any terrorism against Israel, for months there has been a steady drip of attacks against Israelis, often in response to violence on the part of Israelis. There is more and more talk of a third intifada, or uprising.
Another question hangs over Obama's visit: How serious is Netanyahu when he says he wants peace talks with the Palestinians? One indicator is the carrot he offered Tsippi Livni, head of the small Hatnua party, when persuading her to be the first to sign up with his new government. He put her in charge of peace negotiations.
While she is an avowed proponent of peace talks, it is not clear how much freedom Livni will be allowed to carry out her task. The new government is very inward-looking. It is a cabinet devoted to making serious domestic changes: easing the burden on the middle class, abolishing many of the privileges given to the ultra-orthodox, creating jobs and improving education
Also in this series: Israel to grill Obama over possible military strike on Iran
So peace with the Palestinians is likely to be far down the government's agenda. The two bright young hopes of Israeli politics, Yair Lapid and Naftali Bennett, who have formed a coalition that controls 25 percent of the total seats in the Knesset, do not seem very focused on Palestinian issues.Bennett, on the right, is against a Palestinian state. Lapid, in the center-left, says the right things but appears, in practice, unwilling to make any of the necessary compromises.
Thousands of Palestinians - among them masked gunmen - took to the streets of the West Bank for the funeral of a prisoner who died in an Israeli jail. His family says he was tortured while Israel claims it was a heart attack in what threatens to becomes a new uprising. ITV's John Ray reports.
Meanwhile, with little changing in their favor, Palestinians show signs of growing desperation. While some are leaning toward violence, it is unlikely a new intifada would further their aims of statehood. Declaring a state in the U.N. achieved little on the ground, and the ongoing divide between Hamas and Abbas' continues to weaken the Palestinian cause. Finally, in the absence of any real resistance, Palestinians say, Israel takes more of their land.
Their only hope is international pressure on Israel. But there is a deep feeling that if the United States does not join such pressure, it will have little hope of having any effect on the Israeli government.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Top-seed and third-ranked MIT used a 20-4 run over the end of the first half and beginning of the second to pull away from visiting Babson College en route to a 65-42 win in the New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) men's basketball semifinals on Saturday afternoon at Rockwell Cage. With the win, the Engineers advance to their third conference championship game in four years.
Junior Mitchell Kates (Colts Neck, N.J.) paced the Cardinal and Gray with 19 points on eight-of-15 shooting, to go along with four rebounds and three assists. Senior Noel Hollingsworth (Salt Lake City, Utah) scored 11 of his 16 points in the second half and also added eight boards. Junior Will Tashman (Atherton, Calif.) and senior Billy Bender (The Woodlands, Texas) were also in double figures for MIT with 14 and 12 points, respectively.
Junior Alex Rudolph (Bal Harbour, Fla.) was the high scorer for Babson with 9, adding a team-high seven rebounds. John Wickey (Manchester, N.H.) also collected seven caroms while scoring five points.
Tech jumped out to an early five-point lead after a three-pointer from Bender put the hosts ahead 7-2 just over four minutes into the contest. The MIT lead would stay between three and five points for the next six minutes until a quick, 6-0 spurt extended the Engineers' advantage to nine, midway through the frame.
Babson would battle back late in the period as back-to-back baskets by Marcus McDermott (Milton, Mass.) and Russell Braithwaite (Brooklyn, N.Y.) cut the deficit to five, 29-24, with 3:22 to go. That would prove to be as close as the fourth-seeded Beavers would get the rest of the way, as the Cardinal and Gray ended the half on a 9-1 run to take a 38-25 advantage into the locker room.
A layup by Bender started the spurt, followed by Kates' only three-pointer of the afternoon. Tashman and Bender added consecutive baskets before Rudolph hit one-of-two from the line to close out the period.
The second half was more of the same, with MIT starting out on an 11-3 run to stretch the lead to 21, following a long three-pointer from Hollingsworth at the 15:09 mark. Babson would get no closer than 19 the rest of the way, as MIT picked up its 24 win of the season.
The MIT defense limited Babson to 17 second-half points and just one-of-13 shooting from three-point range. Meanwhile, Tech connected on 55.3% of its attempts and owned a 40-26 edge in points in the paint.
Babson's season comes to an end at 14-13 overall, its highest win total since 2007.
MIT will face the winners of second-seeded WPI and third-seeded Springfield College in the NEWMAC championship on Sunday at 1:00 p.m. Tech is looking for its third conference title in program history and will hope to sew up its fourth straight appearance in the NCAA Division III tournament.

In our ongoing quest to see how the other half lives, at least while visiting Edmonton, we're sneaking peeks at our city's most luxurious hotel suites.
You're invited along for a VIP tour (sans key to the mini-bar), through words, photos and video.
Last time, we checked out the Fairmont Hotel Macdonald's stunning Queen Elizabeth II Suite.
This time, it's the Sutton Place Hotel's impressive Royal Suite, which is about to undergo a floor-to-ceiling, multi-million-dollar renovation in the coming months to update all the furnishings, fixtures and decor, along with all the other executive suites and the top five floors of the hotel. Rooms on lower floors will also be updated.
Here's a last look at what you'll find inside, before the reno begins.
At more than 1,100 square feet on two floors, the Sutton Place Hotel's Royal suite is a far cry from the standard hotel room most of us have come to know and tolerate.
For starters, it features sweeping, two storey-high windows looking south over downtown from the 25th floor. It also has a dining room table far bigger than in most homes that seats eight comfortably and can seat up to 12.
And while there is no kitchen - who wants to cook when you're paying $695 a night for a room? - there is room service, of course, and catering for bigger events. Once the 35-year-old suite undergoes its massive renovation that will see virtually everything replaced or redone in the coming months, there will be a small kitchen area hidden behind some cabinets, says hotel general manager Michael Harris, who showed us around the suite.
The living space is set up in two conversation areas; one with a couple of couches and chairs, the other with an impressive desk, bureau and chaise longue along with a 60-inch TV. Combined with the dining area, they offer an expansive space in which to entertain, a key feature of the room, says Harris.
There is also an adjoining room that can be added to the suite as an extra bedroom, since, despite its generous proportions, the suite only has one bed.
It is found up a flight of stairs from the living and dining areas - again, a large room by hotel standards with a king-sized bed and yet another desk. The bathroom, too, is large and quite posh by older hotel room standards, but again, will be much grander postrenovation.
Like many of the city's most luxurious (and expensive) rooms, this première suite isn't in use much of the time, but it's not used for upgrades usually either, to maintain its exclusivity.
Harris says its guests have included many entertainers, politicians and executives who pass through town, but hotel policy prevents him from naming any of them, to protect their privacy. edmontonjournal.com To watch a video of general manager Michael Harris talking about the Royal Suite at the Sutton Place Hotel, go to edmontonjournal.com/videos

Policies to tackle HIV/AIDS
These policy briefs, published as a supplement to a series of articles in Health Affairs, ask what policymakers can do to reduce the global burden of HIV/AIDS.
Around 33 million people are thought to be infected with HIV — the virus that causes AIDS — with an estimated 2.3 million new infections each year. Modelling studies suggest the annual cost of tackling HIV/AIDS will reach up to US$35 billion by 2031.
Donors must step up to the funding challenge, say the policy briefs. The authors suggest donors should focus on the poorest countries hardest hit by HIV/AIDS, arguing that middle-income countries can and should contribute more toward HIV treatment costs.
The policy briefs emphasise the need to invest in research — both to develop new HIV vaccines, and understand how the body responds to HIV infection and how disease develops.
Research into prevention or cure of infections such as tuberculosis that increase the chances of contracting HIV is also important. As is prioritising cost-effective treatment such as fixed-dose combinations that combine several drugs into one pill, or antibiotics that prevent 'opportunistic' infections such as pneumonia.
Other prevention strategies that deserve more support include circumcising adult males — which has been shown to reduce HIV infection by 40–76 per cent — and increasing access to methadone as substitution therapy for heroin dependency.
Improving education and training should be high on the agendas of donors and policymakers. This includes helping AIDS-affected countries use best practices by training healthcare workers, and reducing the number of people's sex partners through public awareness campaigns.
Reducing the vulnerability of key social groups, such as injecting drug users or women in impoverished countries, is also critical, suggest the policy briefs.
Women account for 60–70 per cent of new infections in Africa. Expanding microfinance programmes on the continent would give this key group economic independence and reduce their vulnerability to HIV infection.
Similarly, providing housing to HIV-infected homeless people could improve access to treatment programmes and adherence to medication regimes in this vulnerable group.

I'm not sure if this information is even available, but does anyone know of a source that displays the time of lightning strikes?
I know of reports that say where lightning is most active throughout the world so I'm thinking that there is a way of tracking lightning strikes. Or is this just a generalization made using the frequency of thunderstorm activity?

TUXEDO PARK, NY — Don and Kelly Kilcoyne and Lena Chilingerian may lead regular lives during the year, but from August through September they travel back in time as they perform as Queen, Mayor and part of Robin Hood's gang at the New York Renaissance Faire in Tuxedo Park.
The Mayor
Coming to the faire since opening day in 1977 as a child, Don Kilcoyne of Warwick has always loved the atmosphere and experience.
"I was coming through the gate as a guest, loving it and then one day I thought this is silly I am an 'act-or' I should actually audition," Kilcoyne said.
Kilcoyne auditioned about 24 years ago and has been performing ever since. This year he plays Mayor Bartholomew Bombardier.
"I am the greeter, I am the man that organizes things and I play host for a number of events including the chess boards," said Kilcoyne.
A jack of all trades, Kilcoyne not only acts, but learned to pour pewter and make jewelry as well as teach improvisation to the other actors.
Working at the Renaissance Faire has afforded Kilcoyne the opportunity to play make believe forever and bring him happiness.
"My father passed my first year I was here and the beauty of it was, as sick as he was during the week — I was a young man whose father was ill and I took care of him everyday and I was able to come here and recharge my emotional batteries to deal with my family by playing a character who is all about joy," Kilcoyne said. "Who is all about having fun with children and entertaining people. It recharged me so I could go home and take care of my dad during the week. It's very magical that way, you recharge with the happiness and you can face pretty much anything."
Along with happiness, Kilcoyne also found love.
"I met my bride here about 18 years ago, at our first company rehearsal together," Kilcoyne said. "I saw this beautiful girl sitting across the way and we were engaged within four months, we were married within a year and a half."
Kilcoyne's wife is Kelly and she plays the character Jenny Wren — part of Robin Hood's Merry Band.
Jenny Wren
Kelly Kilcoyne's journey with the faire began in 1996, when she went to an audition in New York City.
"I was doing local theatre at the time so I thought it was a great match," Kelly said.
She was cast in the improv company and has been performing with the faire non consecutively ever since. She also serves as an instructor at CKO Kickboxing in Warwick.
During that very first audition, Kelly met Don.
"I met him there in the end of April and we were dating by June and engaged by Labor Day," Kelly said. "So it was quick. We are going to be married now 17 years."
Along with improv, Kelly did stage combat, played Maid Marian, jousting, fighting and singing. Now she plays Jenny Wren and also serves as choreographer and director for all of the Robin Hood scenarios.
"I love playing Marian because it's so much fun to be a hero and to you know be jousting out there," Kelly said. "But I really love playing Jenny Wren there is so much freedom to it. I still get to do all of the fun sword fighting stuff but just so much freedom. My favorite thing about this is the joy it brings to the kids, absolute magic for them. And being a part of the Robin Hood gang I automatically get to work with the kids. It's wonderful."
Playing make believe with children as an adult offers great benefits.
"I swear this place keeps us all young," Kelly said. "It's hard to be cynical in a place like this. It's hard to get old and curmudgeonly when you can't be cynical. Just instills that in you without you realizing it."
The Queen
Lena Chilingerian of Hampton Township is moving on up — from patron to actress to Queen.
As a child, Chilingerian traveled to the Renaissance Faire from the wee age of two. She eventually began working at one of the merchant's tents at the faire.
However, her true passion was acting. She followed her dream at Hilltop Country Day School in Sparta where she performed in all of the musicals and plays there. She then went to Pope John High School where she continued to participate in all of the plays, before graduating from Montclair State University with a Bachelors degree in Fine Arts and Acting.
Last year, Chilingerian, at age 24, got her break and was cast as Lady Bess Throckmorton. Her performance and dedication to never break character led her to be promoted this year to Queen Elizabeth.
"Well tis a heavy burden to bear but many excellent king and queen has held this crown before us, they proved that it is an honorable place to sit and to stand," Chilingerian said in character. "And it is of great importance. So it is not one we take lightly for we have much to live up to and many a subject to serve and look after so we are humbled by great honor we're in and optimistic about the future."
Performing as Queen, Chilingerian is constantly performing throughout the day in: The Queen's Arrival, Court Dance, Children's Knighting Ceremony, both Chess Matches, and the Royal Joust. Along with her performances, she is always bombarded by young children excited to meet and greet the Queen. Entertaining the children brings Chilingerian back to her first time at the faire.
"The favorite part truly is talking with the children," Chilingerian said. "Their faces are so alight and their eyes are still so full of wonder. It reminds us of the reason we continue to come back when we were so small. The journey we took when we were their age to get to this day. It is refreshing. It washes the soul to see their faces. And it is rejuvenating to the heart and spirit."
The Renaissance Faire runs every Saturday and Sunday and Labor Day through Sept. 21. The faire is located at 600 Rt. 17A in Tuxedo Park, N.Y. For more information call 845-351-5174 or visit www.renfair.com.

If you're looking for a safe vehicle for your family, you need to know only one thing: Go big.
Continue Reading Below
Even though small cars can score decently in crash tests, sheer size ultimately will protect your passengers from injuries.
"If safety is a priority, you should avoid the smallest cars," advises Russ Rader, spokesperson for the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS).
"The laws of physics are always in play in crashes," explains Rader. "Weight counts. Smaller, lighter cars are safer than they used to be, but all things being equal, people riding in bigger, heavier vehicles get more protection in crashes."
In a head-on crash, the vehicle that is heavier will drive the lighter one backward, increasing crash forces for the people in the lighter car and reducing forces for those in the heavier one, says Rader. "Smaller cars also have less crush space in front to manage the energy of a crash and help 'cushion' the occupants as the vehicle comes to a stop."
Higher insurance claims for injuries will be reflected in auto insurance rates.
To provide a window into the best and worst cars for bodily injury, Insure.com analyzed insurance rates for Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and Medical Payments (MedPay) - coverage that pays for injuries to your passengers in a crash. Using insurance rates for more than 750 vehicles in our annual car insurance comparison study, we identified the vehicles with the lowest and highest costs for PIP and MedPay coverage.
The verdict: Purchasing a vehicle like a big GMC pickup or SUV will buy you safety. Or spring for a Porsche Cayenne.

Tomorrow is voting day, so make sure you get out there and vote. Here are some things that might motivate you to make your vote count and have your voice heard in the 2010 elections-
Our friends at Colorlines have been running a blog section on their website called '2010 Elections' that keeps you up to date with all news, events, and information pertaining to the mid-term elections. Their latest entry features Senator Harry Reid's interview with Univision in which he promised Univision reporter Jorge Ramos that he would bring the DREAM Act up for a vote again, regardless of whether he won or lost tomorrow's election. Reid's opponent is a Tea Party supporter Sharron Angle, who's election campaign centered around a series of racist, anti-immigrant ads. Another article on '2010 Elections' illustrates the hypocrisy of Republican strategist Robert de Posada, the man who created the ad that advised the Latino community not to vote in this election. Colorlines tells us that after creating this ad that told Latinos not to vote, it turns out that he himself voted by absentee ballot in Virginia earlier this month. The ad says-
Democratic leaders must pay for their broken promises and betrayals…If we go on supporting them this November, they will keep playing games with our future and keep taking our vote for granted…If they didn't keep their promise on immigration reform then, they can't count on our vote…Don't vote this November. This is the only way to send them a clear message. You can no longer take us for granted. Don't vote.
It is exactly this sort of voter suppression that we need to fight by voting tomorrow. Our friends at Presente.org told us about this and other voter suppression tactics that have been seen impacting the Latino community and their allies around the country. In Texas, a voter registration group called Houston Votes has been the victim of a systematic suppression campaign, including baseless allegations of fraud by the local registrar, and a string of threatening emails strewn with racist insults. The result: registrations have dropped from 1,000 per day to under 200. In Arizona, Senator Russel Pearce — the same man who authored SB 1070 — is accusing organizations like Mi Familia Vota of "voter fraud" in a thinly veiled effort to hamper their registration activities and scare Latino voters from the polls.
A number of radicals are resorting to fear-mongering and scare tactics to ensure that certain communities are denied a voice in this election. In addition to voting tomorrow, get involved with an important project called Video the Vote, a national network of everyday people on who watch out for problems on Election Day. The project helps people report things they see when voting and also document incidents that occur in their area. Started in 2006, Video the Vote volunteers have helped raise national awareness of voting problems by recording over 1,000 videos that have been broadcast on networks like CBS, CNN, and ABC and viewed over 1 million times online.
It's essential that voter suppression problems get reported right away and that their full story is told by the media on Election Day. Video the Vote urgently needs more volunteers, so if you want to help protect the right to vote, join today and tell your friends about the program as well.
And one last thing. Did you know that thousands of people didn't cast in 2008 because they didn't know where to vote? Luckily, for the first time in American history, every voter can now look up their polling place. All you have to do is enter your address to find out which polling station is yours. And make sure to share this handy tool with your friends through Facebook and Twitter.
Happy voting!

In every Spanish town that thrilled me, Heather would say, Wait until you see Arcos! This is Arcos.

Bump Watch: Melissa Rycroft Shows Off Two Bumps — Her Belly And A Snooki Poof!
That's one thing we hope we never see in real life — a pregnant Snooki!
Jersey Shore's Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi has a baby bump? Oh wait, no, that's just mommy-to-be Melissa Rycroft, 27, in her Snooki Halloween costume. Melissa dressed up as the Snooks while her husband Tye Strickland, 29, did DJ Pauly D at the Dream Hollywood event in Santa Monica, CA, on Saturday (Oct. 30).
Melissa Rycroft can feel her baby girl kicking in her tummy!
Melissa, who recently found out that she's expecting a baby girl, can't wait to be a mom, but she also plans on keeping her career moving forward after she gives birth. "I definitely want to be a working mom," Melissa tells HollyBaby.com. "I know millions of women do it, and it's going to be hard but it's going to be doable."
Melissa Rycroft took 15 pregnancy tests before she believed
she was expecting!
"We balance our lives with the media pretty well right now because we live in Dallas," Melissa adds. "We don't live around the chaos that is paparazzi in LA and New York. Obviously, when I work, it's going to be the three of us that kind of go out and work for a little bit and come back."
Melissa Rycroft does not want parenting tips from her ex Jason Mesnick!
"I'm OK with [Melissa being a working mom]," says Tye. "She's a smart girl too, and we're keeping our priorities straight. And obviously work comes about fourth on our priority list, it's just the way it'll always be and it won't ever change. We're smart, and we help each other out a lot. I have a company in Dallas, and she has a career in LA and New York or wherever else they fly her. So it's more just teamwork. We help each other out, and it's just going to be that much more important whenever the baby comes along that we keep that priority."

|Columbus 4 - St. Louis 1
18-16-7, 4th in Central Division, 11th in Western Conference
11th draft pick (and 15th & 24th!)
OK, I'll admit it. I've grown so used to writing, "The team got spanked" leads that I had to flip the lead to the St. Louis point of view because, well, the Blues got spanked tonight.
And it was Team Yearbook night, too:
|Who else would YOU put on the cover?
|Crack a few open for the
Taste of Victory
2. The inventor of the crease gets a beer from me tonight, for the Blue Jackets effectively parked themselves in front of it on two of the goals tonight (Anisimov and Johansen's). This isn't sharpshooting, sexy hockey. This is rough and tumble, greasy rebound hockey. But I'll suggest that it takes a little discipline to know where to be to drive that quick rebound home, and the coaching staff has put the guys in position to grab goals.
3. Derek Mackenzie was a flippin' sparkplug all night long. He shot off the bench like a cannon, was harassing the Blues puckhandlers to no end, jumped in to turn Jared Boll maybe-fights into kerfuffles, and never got an official shot on the board. Still, Mackenzie's energy was palpable and contagious. Really, really impressed with his motor tonight. I'd give him a beer, but he already grabbed one for himself and shotgunned it before I could say anything. He's just had that type of night.
4. The crowd (announced attendance of 17,007, which I'll guess was a tad high) gets a $9.00 tallboy for tonight's effort. Once the Blue Jackets finally got rolling in the first period - read: after Bobrovsky gave up his requisite early goal - you could hear some fantastic crowd enthusiasm building on the AEP Power Level. From the Arch City Army constantly reminding Blues netminder Jake Allen how inadequate he was, to the wierdo across the aisle from me who kept shouting "Jackets!" at random times like a Tourette's patient, to the sub-10 year old behind me who would hear something funny yet inappropriate and - not knowing what he heard - shouting "What he said!"....this game pretty much had it all. Loud and proud, that's what we got tonight.
One small caveat: To the maroon who decided to start The Wave inside Nationwide Arena with 13:40 left in the game....no brew for you. Nyet. Just nyet.
5. I humbly offer an earnestly respectful beer to St. Louis' Barrett Jackman, who swooped in at the last possible second to deny R. J. Umberger a beautifully-executed wraparound goal on a terribly out of position (and, as the Arch City Army would have you know, inadequate) Jake Allen. As Umberger was slamming it home, Jackman slid his stick in across easily three feet of open goal mouth to grab the puck and get it out of the crease.
Suffice to say, I consider it the best hockey play of the night.
6. Ryan Johansen gets a beer of his own, not for the goal but rather for the faceoffs he kept winning! Six of nine in the circle, and a gaudy five of eight against Blues captain David Backes. Then there's Derek Mackenzie at six for eleven, Mark Letestu with five of ten...all in all, a very solid night in the world of puck possession.
What a fun game, perhaps the most fun I've had at a game since Jeff Carter dropped a hattie on San Jose just before skipping town for Los Angeles.
The Blue Jackets ended the evening stuck in 11th place, tied with 9th place Dallas and 10th place Phoenix at two points behind 8th place Detroit. With just one home game left and a 3-3-1 road record since starting the March winning streak on the 3rd (I'm being charitable and not looking at the early season garbage games), I just don't see how the team can make up enough ground in six road games and the season closer at home. The climb out of the NHL sub-basement has just been too steep, and the Blue Jackets aren't getting enough help from their rivals for that 8th playoff spot.
WERE THE BLUE JACKETS OUTWORKED? No, no, and no. The Blue Jackets rose to the occasion in a big game against a good team in St. Louis. Feels good to say something like that with a straight face. I don't think that such a statement could have been made since...Ken Hitchcock was coaching the Blue Jackets.
NEXT UP: Saturday night, 8PM EDT in St. Paul against the Minnesota Wild. These roadies aren't against the Calgarys of the world, folks; they're against some tough teams (and the Avalanche). If the Blue Jackets make the playoffs through some act of God, it'll be because they earned it.

It's time again for the nobel price ceremony, and if you do not have a new revolutionizing theory on branes, a elixir for eternal youth cooking in the kitchen or the big Uzbeki novel in your typewriter the chances of you going to Stockholm and participating in the event are rather slim. To make amends here's a short resume of what awaits the nobel laureates.
The laureates stay at Sweden's top hotel (the worlds only skyscraper completely built out of wood) in the heart of gamla stan (the old city).
Most laureates instead stays in Sweden and are signed in to Sweden's ambitious breeding program, a program that aim to make Sweden self sufficient in Nobel laureates by 2050.

Paula Abdul: 'X Factor' Exit Confirmed
Paula Abdul has confirmed that she is leaving The X Factor.
"Yes, it's true; I won't be returning to The X Factor next season. I've learned through my longevity in this industry that business decisions often times override personal considerations," Paula said in a statement.
"Simon and I, along with Fox and Fremantle, have been communicating about this for a while now, and I have absolute understanding of the situation."
"Simon is, and will remain a dear friend of mine and I've treasured my experience working this past season with my extended family at Fox and Fremantle. I want nothing more than for The X Factor to exceed ALL of their wildest dreams. This truly has been a blessing and I am most grateful," Paula concluded.
Also leaving the show are host Steve Jones and judge Nicole Scherzinger.
WHO DO YOU THINK should replace those who have left the show?
