'True Blood' "At Last" Preview Clips: Eric Converts Nora, Jason Has a Close Shave with…Ben?
Warlow has yet to come out into the open just yet, but the mystery deepens on this Sunday's all-new 'True Blood' episode "At Last," as Sookie deals with Jason's illness while growing closer to the mysterious Ben (Robert Kazinsky). Three all-new clips from the latest episode have hit the web, and while Andy's faerie children keep on growing, both Eric and Jason make some surprising connections.
For one, Jason's recovery seems to be going well enough, as he dreams of a close and intimate shaving session with...Ben? Now, whatever could cause Jason to start having dreams about his sister's mysterious new friend? You know, the one who arrived in town at about the same time as the season's big bad, and has been playing charismatically aloof this whole time?
Meanwhile, Eric continues to develop his relationship with the Governor's daughter Nora, despite the commotion of fleeing his men in last week's "You're No Good." Elsewhere, Andy's growing half-faerie children start growing a little less up, and a little more...um, out. From HBO's official description of "At Last":
Sookie (Anna Paquin) confronts her growing attraction to the mysterious Ben (Rob Kazinsky). Eric (Alexander Skarsgård) counters Burrell's (Arliss Howard) brutal anti-vampire initiatives by hitting his nemesis where it hurts the most. Growing up all too quickly, Andy's (Chris Bauer) faerie daughters end up keeping dangerous company. Sam (Sam Trammell) and Nicole (Jurnee Smollett-Bell) make a connection. Bill (Stephen Moyer) tasks Takahashi (Keone Young) to synthesize a new kind of blood.
We've included the latest 'True Blood' season 6 clips above and below, so take a look and give us your predictions in the comments! What do you think we'll learn by the time of 'True Blood season 6's Comic-Con 2013 panel?

"Four years after the recession officially ended, the economic recovery remains a long way off in the view of many Americans."
Those are the latest findings from a Pew Research poll. 44% of the 1480 surveyed said the economic recovery was a long way off, while 28% said the economy is recovering and 26% said the economy will recover soon.
According to Pew, there has been a notable shift in perceptions in just the past month.
"Opinions of current economic conditions, which had improved modestly in June, have slipped back to levels from earlier this year," says the report. "Currently, 17% say economic conditions are excellent or good, while 82% rate them as only fair or poor. In June, 23% rated the economy as excellent or good, the most positive measure in more than five years."

I would like to take you on a journey, back to 300AD where Arthur was not yet a king, but an officer on the furthermost outpost of the Roman Empire. It was to be the day of freedom for Arthur and his knights Fifteen years of service was about to come to an end, but Bishop Germanus had different plans. Germanus would send them out for one final mission, the most danger mission of their lives, in order to save a Roman family. During this mission Arthur would find his true self and become a leader of a nation to finally be adorned King of the Britains.
The production of King Arthur has been a very interesting ride. Initially we relied heavily on film assets to get the ball rolling. Krome sent art experts, from the Arthur team, over to Ireland to acquire stills and footage of the different movie sets. Environments, actors, weapons, clothing, sky domes, animals, carts, baskets, tables and any other thing slightly related to the film were sent back to Krome and replicated to match each environment so that the end result was just like a snap shot of each set.
While our art team was in Ireland, we also took motion captures of many of the stunt doubles of the main actors and incorporate lifelike animation for each character. Each character had unique fighting styles, which we had to capture to give each character individuality. Capturing these fighting techniques along with regular running, walking, flinching falling etc. took three long days. If that wasn't enough work, we also had to do the same thing all over again with horses.
In the mean time, our programmers were busy working on the backbone of the game. Proto type meshes were created to allow the AI programmers to test enemy skills and fighting techniques. Over time enemy fighting skills, attack speed, damage output, counter attack percentages and many other features would be adjusted by our Game Designer to balance the game. AI was also required for the NPCs, both on foot and mounted, as they fought along side the PC. The collision system and avoidance code were well underway by the time the film assets arrived.

A weakening Tropical Storm Raymond moved away from Mexico's Pacific coast Wednesday, granting relief to a region devastated by a storm last month.
At its peak, Raymond was a Category 3 hurricane with winds of 125 mph (205 kph) that threatened to collide with the Mexican coast. But it spun in place offshore for more than a day before heading out to sea, largely sparing the already sodden region. (Associated Press)

After nearly three years of growth, my hair is finally really long. It thrills me to no end, but it doesn't come without its own set of challenges. Primarily, the blow dry. If I had the luxury of getting a blowout 3-4 times a week, I'd do it in a second. It takes so much more work to get my hair ready to be dried, and then of course, the actual drying. It's a total chore. But there is an art to it, so I wanted to share some of the tools, tricks and products I attribute to helping me conquer this necessary evil.
It starts in the shower. I alternate hair cleansers, but right now, I am really into Peter Lamas Rice Protein Volumizing Shampoo & Conditioner. It's a 100% vegan and I feel like this protects and nourishes my hair. It's 2012 — there's no reason to use sulfates and stripping agents in your shampoo. None. This shampoo/conditioner duo is fortified with carrot seed, chamomile, enriched with aloe and avocado and contains Panthenol (a.k.a. vitamin B-5) to help strengthen hair. Oh, and the rice proteins work to plump up the hair shaft and create a thicker look.
I use a few different brushes/combs during the blow dry. The wide-toothed comb to detangle wet hair as a first step, for example. But this Spornette #955 from the brand's Italian collection, is my go-to for creating volume at the roots. I'm obsessed with using it, and it makes me feel like a pro. I use it when my hair is more than halfway dry and past the tangle stage and use it to dry sections of my hair, from the crown on down. It gives serious lift at the roots!
If I'm looking to shave some time off my dry, I use Blow Ready Set Blow Express Blow Dry Lotion. Without using alcohol (a "drying agent"), this cream is made from a protein blend that minimizes stress on hair and boosts heat conductivity. I work this throughout my strands and comb it out with a wide-toothed comb. Beyond just speeding up the dry process, it also locks out humidity during the day.
I might be addicted to the lovely scent of Paul Mitchell's Ginger Awapuhi Hydromist Blowout Spray. It also happens to work quite well. Natural awapuhi and honey extract help eliminate frizz and lightweight conditioners protect hair from damage. It also gives my hair some grit (without a gritty feel).

It took exactly one play for Saints cornerback Elbert Mack's 73-yard interception return for a touchdown to be upstaged at the Meadowlands.
Giants rookie David Wilson took the ensuing kickoff 97 yards for a touchdown of his own and the momentum, which had taken a big swing in New Orleans' favor when Mack stepped in front of Manning's pass and sailed to the end zone, swung back in favor of the Giants. Wilson nearly broke the opening kickoff of the game for a touchdown, but he got tripped up near midfield and the Giants' first drive stalled.
The Saints connected on what looked like a big play to Marques Colston, but he coughed the ball up on a hit by Will Hill and the Giants were able to get right back in business. That lasted just long enough for Mack to pilfer Manning's pass and put the Saints in the lead very, very briefly.
It's 7-7 halfway through the first quarter and the Giants just got the ball back when Antrel Rolle knocked the ball loose from Saints fullback Jed Collins.

The Dolphins have a mess on their hands with the Jonathan Martin situation.
And that may not be the only thing they need to clean up before things return to normal.
Adam Beasley of the Miami Herald said there have been multiple issues, that if not exactly like the reported bullying and/or harrassment of Martin, are creating problems in the locker room.
He describes a culture of older players forcing younger teammates to pick up the tab, with one player being handed a bill for a $30,000 team dinner. "The veterans are using the younger players as an ATM, I'm told," he reported.
He then retweeted a message from defensive tackle Jared Odrick which had a picture of a large dinner, with the message: "Everything tastes better when rookies pay for it."
That dovetails with reports that Martin was somehow coerced into paying $15,000 toward a trip to Las Vegas that he didn't attend.
To some degree, this kind of behavior is normal. Rookies have been buying doughnuts on Saturday mornings or lunch on Fridays or an end-of-year dinner for their position groups as long as there have been teams and rookies.
But if some players are getting carried away with the South Beach lifestyle, as Beasley suggests, then it's clearly an issue the Dolphins need to address.

The Billy Graham Evangelistic Association has a long history in Ukraine. In 1988, Billy Graham preached in its capital, Kiev, three years before the end of Soviet rule.
In 2007, Franklin Graham held a three-day evangelistic Festival at Olympic Stadium in Kiev, where more than 124,000 heard the Gospel message live and over 100,000 more heard it throughout Ukraine via satellite broadcast.
So it was no surprise that Franklin Graham took to social media late last week to ask for prayer for Ukraine, dealing with months of political unrest, which has recently escalated.
"I am saddened to see the violence escalate in the Ukraine," Franklin Graham posted on Facebook. "This part of the world has a very special place in my heart—My father and I have both preached in Kiev.
"I spoke there in 2007 and Samaritan's Purse has distributed Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes to millions of children there. Pray for peace for this troubled region and for the innocent civilians caught in the turmoil. "Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God" (Matt. 5:9)."
Franklin Graham took to Facebook again on Feb. 27 to continue to ask for prayer and applaud Ukraine's recent decision:
"I am encouraged to see that Baptist preacher Oleksandr Turchynov has been named as Ukraine's acting president. The country is at a crossroads with the East pulling one direction and the West pulling another. Pray that God will give them wisdom and that there will be no more bloodshed."

This has been the cry of information workers everywhere who have tried to manage complex projects through email and shared folders. You've probably had a similar experience: you're collaborating on a document with a team of people and are emailing it back and forth. Person A creates the initial document and Person B replies with some edits. Person C replies with additional edits at the same time Person A replies with the corrections from Person B. Person D takes this and rewrites a whole section of the document while Person B and C respond to Person A's update. Pretty soon, it becomes very difficult to determine which document is the latest document. The same scenario plays itself out when working in shared folders, except there's no trail of email messages to figure out who did what and when.
The Social Office plugin for Liferay Portal is designed to answer this call for help. Social Office is a dynamic team collaboration solution for the enterprise that's designed to streamline communication, save time, and raise productivity. Organizations and groups can use Social Office to share resources, collaborate on projects, and raise the visibility of important activity. We created the product to provide a simple, out of the box solution for team collaboration.

Once installed, a quick setup wizard will help you set up a team collaboration site so you can begin working immediately.

DAVID Edgar hopes it is third time lucky when it comes to keeping his place in the Burnley team.
The Canadian international (pictured right) has started two of Sean Dyche's eight games in charge due to absences in midfield and defence, but missed out on selection for the starting XI in the following game both times.
He admitted returning to the bench was a source of frus-tration, after contributing to wins and clean sheets over Wolves and Hull City.
"You're disappointed if you don't keep your place, especially if you win, it would be wrong if you weren't," said Edgar.
But with Michael Duff and Chris McCann missing for the visit of Watford on Saturday through suspension for cum-ulative bookings, the first team door is expected to swing open for the former Newcastle defender once more.
Although Edgar has lined up in central midfield, following injury to McCann for Dyche's first game at home to Wolves, and at right back when Kieran Trippier ser-ved a one-match ban against Hull – playing well in both positions – he is expected to return to the back four as Duff's replacement this weekend.
And the 25-year-old hopes to make enough of an impression onDyche to pose the manager a selection dilemma for the trip to Birmingham the following Saturday, even if it comes at the expense of a team-mate.
"It's part of the business," said Edgar, who started the season alongside Jason Shackell at the heart of the Clarets defence.
"If you get the chance to play you do what you can to hold on to the shirt.
"That's the main thing. "It's still early in the week but Duffo's suspended for the weekend so it would be good to get back in and get a game.
"But to be fair the back four and everybody have been fantastic lately and it's a shame that Duffo's picked up those cards because he's been solid.
"But it's opened the door and hopefully it's a chance for me.
"I've played with Jason quite a bit at the beginning of the season so hopefully so it wouldn't be anything new if I get the shirt."
But Edgar admitted he would have no qualms about playing in midfield again, if asked.
"I love playing midfield, I really do," he said.
"It's a lot of running but I really enjoy it.
"It just adds a bit to my game if I can play there."

News and Events: Press releases
UNICEF announces $150 million earthquake recovery plan
The rebuilding of schools and health centres is a highlight of our roadmap to recovery in what many people have called the childrens catastrophe, said outgoing UNICEF Representative Omar Abdi.
The earthquake damaged or destroyed almost 10,000 schools and three-quarters of the areas health facilities. The rebuilding task in these sectors is enormous.
Underscoring our recovery plans is the commitment to build back better a commitment we share with the Government of Pakistan. That is why we are planning to build earthquake-resistant schools and health facilities. We are also going to build 1,000 earthquake-resistant water supply systems, said Terje Thodesen, head of UNICEFs emergency programme for Pakistan.
In addition to rebuilding, UNICEF has extensive plans to build back better by boosting the quality and extent of education, health care, hygiene awareness, clean water and sanitation, and protection of children.
Training will be provided to around 20,000 teachers and 4,000 community-based health workers; hygiene awareness will be introduced through schools and health worker networks; malnutrition rates will be targeted; child protection networks will be developed.
UNICEF aims to have around 500,000 children enrolled in primary school in affected areas by mid-2008, including 100 per cent of children who went to school before the earthquake and 30 per cent of children who had previously never attended school.
UNICEF has established four field offices in the earthquake-affected areas, allowing staff to work more efficiently and safely. Access to the area is being hampered by wet weather, landslides and inhospitable terrain. Many devastated villages can only be reached by jeeps and foot, Thodesen said.
A special construction unit is being established in UNICEFs Pakistan headquarters to coordinate the massive task of rebuilding health facilities and schools with the Pakistani governments Earthquake Reconstruction and Rehabilitation Agency.
UNICEF appealed to the donor community to give as generously to UNICEFs rehabilitation and reconstruction plan as it did to UNICEFs immediate relief effort. UNICEF is grateful to its donors and partners such as the Netherlands, Canada, Australia, Norway and the European Union for their generous contributions.
About UNICEF

A charity is accepting donations to help a 7-year-old boy police in southwest Ohio say was trying to sell a teddy bear to buy food.
Franklin Officer Steve Dunham found the boy in front of a drug store earlier this month. He told the officer he hadn't eaten for several days.
Dunham took him to a restaurant to eat. Other officers went to the home, and police say they found four older boys living amid garbage and cat urine.
"It broke my heart," Dunham told NBC affiliate WLWT. "He told me he was trying to sell his stuffed animal to get money for food because he hadn't eaten in several days."
Children services authorities have placed the children with other relatives. Their parents pleaded not guilty to child endangerment charges.
Police say the Saint Vincent De Paul society at a local Catholic church is accepting donations for the boy and his brothers.

Dodgers kept off balance by Padres rookie
LOS ANGELES -- Matt Kemp took his bat, snapped it over his knee and tossed its shattered remains onto the grass just in front of the home dugout.
It was the fifth inning of Friday's 6-3 loss to the Padres, and Kemp -- then representing the tying run -- had just flailed at a slow-looping 2-2 curveball, stranding two teammates on base and igniting some deep-seated frustration.View Full Game Coverage
LOS ANGELES -- Matt Kemp took his bat, snapped it over his knee and tossed its shattered remains onto the grass just in front of the home dugout.
It was the fifth inning of Friday's 6-3 loss to the Padres, and Kemp -- then representing the tying run -- had just flailed at a slow-looping 2-2 curveball, stranding two teammates on base and igniting some deep-seated frustration.View Full Game Coverage
It was that kind of night for the Dodgers -- a night where frustration mounted at every turn.
Rookie right-hander Jesse Hahn had the Dodgers fooled at the plate, dropping in hook after hook to stymie the Los Angeles lineup. On the basepaths, Yasiel Puig ran the Dodgers out of a seventh-inning rally, trying to advance from second on a sacrifice fly and instead causing an inning-ending double play. And on the mound, right-hander Dan Haren threw his shortest outing of the season, lasting just four-plus innings while surrendering four runs.
"The results were terrible," said Haren, who fell to 8-6 on the season. "I'm just not getting it done for us right now. I felt fine. But that doesn't mean much. The last few times out I have not been very good."
After allowing eight runs in 5 1/3 innings in Colorado on Saturday, Haren allowed four runs on six hits Friday night.
In the second inning, his splitter was his best friend and worst enemy. He used it to put away Padres second baseman Brooks Conrad for the first out, then buried one in the dirt to strike out Will Venable -- but the ball got away, and Venable reached first. His next splitter -- on a 2-2 count to Alexi Amarista -- was deposited over the right-field fence for a two-run home run.
It was the 17th home run Haren has allowed in his past 12 starts, and it established a lead that the Padres would never relinquish. They chased Haren from the game in the fifth inning after a leadoff single by right fielder Seth Smith and back-to-back doubles by Chase Headley and Carlos Quentin drove in two runs. And they tacked on two more against a shaky Jamey Wright in the sixth with Quentin's two-run single.
"[Haren] still has good stuff," catcher Drew Butera said. "There's no doubt about it. He has a good split, good cutter, still has a good fastball. I think it's just one of those nights where they took advantage of a few mistakes."
Meanwhile -- in just his seventh Major League start -- Hahn held the Dodgers to three hits and one run in six innings, striking out six and walking four. The 24-year-old's lone blemish came in the first inning. With Puig on first base and two outs, he hung a 1-0 slider to Kemp -- who wasn't fooled that time, turning on the ball for an RBI single. From there, the Dodgers' next-best opportunity against Hahn came in the fifth, when Kemp struck out to strand Puig and Adrian Gonzalez on first and second.
"At that point in the game, my curve was the pitch that I was throwing most for strikes," said Hahn, who moved to 5-2 on the season with the win, dropping his ERA to 2.21. "I got behind, but I had enough confidence in it to keep throwing it. It was my out pitch."
Added Butera: "He had that really slow curveball. He had a good running fastball. And guys just weren't picking up that slow curveball."
Though they couldn't figure out Hahn or his curveball, the Dodgers showed signs of offensive life in the seventh inning against right-hander Blaine Boyer.
Puig doubled with one out to drive in a run and advance Dee Gordon to third. Gordon would score on Gonzalez's sacrifice fly, cutting the deficit to 6-3, but Puig was caught trying to advance to third, ending the inning and neutralizing the threat.
It was another costly mistake for Puig, who made a similar mistake during a 7-2-4 triple play against Cleveland.
"Obviously, the play at third, we kind of run ourselves out of the inning with Yas," manager Don Mattingly said. "It's one of those, you just have to learn from. Just talking to him, make sure he understands why it's not the place to go there. Just learn from that, and you got to move forward."
The Dodgers again would attempt to rally in the eighth, as pinch-hitter Andre Ethier walked and Scott Van Slyke singled to lead off the inning. They made it as far as second and third, advancing on a wild pitch by reliever Joaquin Benoit.
But Benoit pitched out of trouble, striking out the next two batters, then getting Carl Crawford to ground into a fielder's choice to end a scoreless inning -- and any hope of a Dodger comeback.

Bon Jovi's Richie Sambora Reveals New Release Date, Cover Art for New Solo Album
The release date for famed guitarist and Bon Jovi founding member Richie Sambora's third solo album, 'Aftermath of the Lowdown' has been changed slightly: it's now Sept. 18, 2012. Got it? Good!
We've already been introduced to the first single, 'Every Road Leads Home To You' but now it's time for more. The past decade has been anything but easy for Richie, who has reluctantly been the focus of tabloid headlines due to various happenings in his personal life.
According to Sambora, it's time for the public to look beyond the gossip and hear the story from the man himself. "This is the truth, the lowdown," he says. "And after you speak that truth, there's always an aftermath."
Being just a guy from New Jersey who dreamed to play guitar, the success he's managed to attain only humbles him more. 'Aftermath of the Lowdown' is his first solo record in 14 years, and he says it's his most honest one yet. "This is my favorite record I've ever made," says the rock star. "It's the most fulfilling experience in my life as a musician."
'Aftermath'– which is produced by Luke Ebbin — is Richie's attempt to explain who he is, what he's gone through and how he's come out of it all. "A lot has happened in my life over the last ten years, personal stuff that's cathartic for me to get out," he explains. "Really things that could happen to anybody, but I just happened to be in a band with the biggest concert tour in the world, and in the glare of the public eye."

What is eDrugSearch.com?
eDrugSearch launched in January 2007 as a specialized drug search engine for Americans interested in purchasing safe, low-cost prescription drugs from licensed Canadian pharmacies. With more than 50,000 drug listings, eDrugSearch brings together licensed and accredited pharmacies from around the world in one comprehensive, easy-to-use price comparison database.
More than 65 million Americans – nearly one-fourth of the U.S. population, including millions of seniors live without prescription drug insurance today. While many are interested in Canadian or other international online pharmacies as a means of saving money on their prescriptions, they are often concerned about whether they can trust the quality and safety of the prescription medications they find online.
eDrugSearch addresses these concerns by only accepting pharmacies in its database that pass a rigorous prescreening process – including proof of home-country, government licensing, and third-party accreditations.
In addition to its emphasis on safety, eDrugSearch offers up-to-the-minute price search, detailed drug information, and other features that make it the most advanced search engine for online prescription medication shoppers. eDrugSearch.com's search features enable members to identify pharmacies with specific licensing requirements, third-party accreditations, Better Business Bureau memberships, and more.
eDrugSearch President Cary Byrd describes the site's mission this way:
"U.S. consumers who want access to prescription drugs at fair, affordable prices have long had the odds stacked against them. We started eDrugSearch to level the playing field, giving consumers a safe way to find low-cost drugs from Canadian and other non-U.S. pharmacies."
"Now, by creating the eDrugSearch.com, we are moving beyond specialized search to enable our members to share information about their experiences, both with medications and online pharmacies. Our Health 2.0 website will empower members to make better decisions for themselves and for their families."
Is it safe to buy prescription drugs online?
Yes, if you know what to ask and look for in a licensed online pharmacy. If you're not sure the best and easiest way to stay safe is to always use eDrugSearch.com to find the lowest drug prices before purchasing your prescription drugs online. We go above and beyond what any consumer could ever do to ensure your safety and easy access to affordable medications.
We believe safety should be a customer's top priority when purchasing pharmaceuticals over the internet. Here are a few things you need to expect from every online pharmacy (much like your neighborhood pharmacy) before purchasing your medications:
- Make sure that you are buying products from a licensed pharmacy; a legit pharmacy will have their licensed number displayed on their website.
- Verify that the online pharmacy has an actual and legal physical address.
- Make sure that the pharmacy employees a licensed pharmacist that oversees all orders.
- Verify that the online pharmacy sells pharmaceuticals received from know drug manufacturers.
- Pay attention to whether the online pharmacy asks for a copy of your prescription. A legitimate pharmacy will always require you to provide them with a copy of the original signed prescription from your doctor.
How does an eDrugSearch.com Rx coupon work?
The eDrugSearch.com rx coupons are a great way to save even more than the listed prices that are displayed within our drug price result pages.
We've done all the heavy lifting for you by negotiating exclusive rx coupons with all our partner online pharmacies so that when you're ready to check out, you will save even more money, instantly!
After you type in your drug name and search and find the prescription drug you are looking for, click on the "Coupons" tab (see screenshot) and then click the green "GET COUPON" button to activate a pop-up.
After the pop-up appears, simply copy the large rx coupon code that appears and click the link to be re-directed to the online pharmacy so you can easily add your medication to your cart and redeem your rx coupon.
That's it, easy peasy lemon squeezy!
Why are prescription drugs less expensive online?
The main cause of high drug prices is due to price fixing and government control. Prescription drugs are typically 50-90% less expensive online because customers have access to drug markets outside of the United States.
Other countries have wholesale pricing for medications, but in America, the government isn't allowed to negotiate for lower prices under Medicaid and Medicare. It's clear the Big pharmaceutical companies prefer this predatory business model to ensure more profits.
Do online pharmacies deal with insurance companies?
Ultimately it is up to your insurance provider.
Most insurance companies DO NOT deal with online pharmacies because the medications are imported – which means you will have to pay out-of-pocket. Our service is really geared towards people who are uninsured or underinsured.
Having said that, the online pharmacies can provide an itemized statement that you can submit to your insurance provider and they may reimburse you but that is entirely up to your insurance provider.
I would call your insurance and ask them if they would cover your medication costs, if you provided them the itemized statement for all your out-of-pocket prescription drug expenses.
Do you need a Doctor's prescription to place an order?
Yes, you will need to provide an original copy of your signed doctor's prescription to the online pharmacy when you decide to order from them.
You can either fax it to them or scan it or send it electronically via email.
After the order is complete you should receive your medications within approximately 15 days.
If you purchase medications from an online pharmacy that does not require an original prescription you may be putting yourself at risk.
Is it legal to order medications online for personal use?
The U.S. government usually does not stop individuals from ordering medications online for their own personal use as long as . . .
- You don't order an controlled substances or schedule IV drugs
- You limit your order to a three-month supply
- You provide an original prescription.
However, it is technically not legal but according to the FDA no one has ever been prosecuted for personally importing their medications using the guidelines above.
Watch the short video below to see Marcia Crosse, PhD — the director for the Health Care Team at the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) — explain the FDA's personal drug importation policies:
As of October 2006, U.S. Customs officers suspended their policy of seizing packages of prescription drugs from Canada in the mail and at border crossings. And at least half a dozen state governments, including those in Wisconsin and Illinois, have set up programs to help residents order drugs from Canada and abroad.
Can I alter my pharmacy's information after registration?
Yes. Once you log in to the site, you can visit the "Account Information" link on the left side to view and modify pharmacy information such as shipping options, selection of prescriptions, and status with certifying organizations.
How do I send my prescription to a licensed online pharmacy?
Before a licensed online pharmacy can ship your medications they will ask you to send a copy of your prescription by either mail, email (using a scanner) or by fax.
Once your prescription is received by the online pharmacy they will then fill your order and ship your medications.
How can I make sure not to buy counterfeit medications online?
Here are some simple steps you need to take in order to ensure your safety by not buying fake or counterfeit medications online:
- Make sure you verify that you are doing business with an accredited and properly licensed online pharmacy.
- They also need adhere to these online pharmacy safety requirements.
- Read our handy consumer guide How to Spot A Fake Online Pharmacy.
- The easiest way to stay safe is to only order medications from eDrugSearch.com's "Tried & True" online pharmacy directory. We have an established relationship with all the online pharmacies within our directory and have worked with most of them for almost a decade now.
Do I need a prescription from my doctor to buy medicine online?
Yes. All properly licensed and reputable online pharmacies located within the eDrugSearch online pharmacy directory will require a copy of your written prescription signed by your doctor in order to buy medications online.
Should I tell my doctor if I plan to order my medications online?
Yes, you should always consult your doctor about any decisions or changes about your health; which may include ordering your prescription medications online if you decide to do so.
How do I reorder medications after my first order has been filled?
The process is nearly the same if you are placing a reorder with the same pharmacy or a new one. If you are using the same pharmacy to reorder medications you just need to call up the pharmacy you purchased your medications from and they will look up your account.
Then you will be required to fax your prescription again. However, they can usually call your doctor and ask them to do it for you, as a convenience to you.
If you're a new customer, you would just need to create a new account and repeat the process mentioned above.
*We suggest ordering a 90-day supply for even lower costs and so you you don't have to have your original prescription faxed each month.

Pigtails, glitter nails, sparkly eyeshadow — when you're 13, those all seem like the raddest, coolest beauty looks a girl can wear. Past puberty, however, they're not considered a chic beauty choice. Or are they? At shows like Jason Wu, Dior, Giles, and myriad others these past few seasons, we saw beauty looks our pre-teen selves would have sported. The big difference? These hair and makeup trends looked chic and sophisticated in addition to being fun and funky.
Always ones to indulge our nostalgia, we wanted to see if there was a way we could update those cherished looks of our misspent youth (we did spend a lot of time in the makeup aisle at Claire's) into something a bit more fashion-forward. So, we enlisted some of the best pros in the game right now to help us turn those teenybopper trends into something our adult selves would be proud to wear out in public (and not just on Halloween). Read on for their tips, plus the products you need to pull 'em off.

VIDEO: Real Training Camp: Jerry Colangelo Interview
LAS VEGAS — Mason Plumlee got a promotion on Tuesday, moving up from the Select Team to the Senior Team at USA Basketball camp.
Primarily, this was a numbers thing. The National Team had 19 guys in camp and only five bigs. The addition of Plumlee gives them an even 20, which allowed them to split into two 10-man teams for scrimmages (one on each floor) against the Select Team in practice and for Friday's USA Basketball Showcase, a more formal intra-squad scrimmage at the Thomas & Mack Center (9 p.m. ET, ESPN).
But Plumlee's chances of making the final roster for the World Cup shouldn't be completely dismissed. The staff here likes him.
"He has good size," USA Basketball managing director Jerry Colangelo told NBA TV in discussing Plumlee's promotion. "He's active."
It helps to be nearly seven feet tall. The imbalance between the U.S. Team's backcourt talent and frontcourt talent is not a new thing. And the late decisions by Blake Griffin and Kevin Love to stay home created more of an opportunity for a guy who was supposed to spend most his rookie season in the D-League.
"Giving him an opportunity to play with the USA Team," Colangelo told NBA.com, "that puts him in a position where he could earn himself a spot [on the final 12-man roster]. It's possible."
Plumlee's older brother Miles has good size and is active too. But the feeling is that Mason has a better basketball IQ, is a better pick-and-roll defender and is more skilled. In the eyes of one person who would know, Mason just cares about basketball more.
Coach Mike Krzyzewski had both of them at Duke (and there are even more Dukies on the support staff), so he obviously has a good feel for what both can do.
Colangelo told NBA TV that he wants "extra bigs in my back pocket" when this team goes to Spain. Not only is there a possibility of facing two Gasols and Serge Ibaka on their home floor for the World Cup gold medal game, but every big in camp not named Anthony Davis has question marks…
- DeMarcus Cousins is a beast, but ultimately, the staff has to be able to trust him, both in regard to dealing with officials and in making decisions with the ball. During a scrimmage on Tuesday, Cousins punched a wall pad out of frustration as the ball went the other way in transition. It was something that would go mostly unnoticed in an NBA game, but that stuff registers with the staff. He has great skills, but USA bigs don't need to play one-on-one.
- Colangelo on NBA TV: "We're going to end up, I really feel this way, with some specialists. Now, I'll just use a name. He may or may not be that guy, but [Kenneth] Faried … Energy, rebounding. We looked at tapes of yesterday's scrimmage. He came in and, within a minute, he was responsible for six points for his team, getting two offensive rebounds, getting out on the break. And the same with [Andre] Drummond. He did a couple of things in a short period of time that added six points."
- For the 6-foot-8 Faried, size is obviously the issue. Colangelo sees him more as an "energy" guy than a "big" guy. So the opponent likely would determine just how much he could play on any given night.
- For Drummond, it's a little similar to Cousins in that you have to be able to trust him in a big moment. Because of their energy and athleticism, both can make more of short bursts than Cousins or Paul Millsap. And short bursts is probably all the non-Davis bigs will get with this team.
- Size is an issue with Millsap as well. And he just doesn't have the explosiveness of Faried. But he's obviously more skilled than the rest of the group. He's an interesting case.
The role of a U.S. big seems pretty simple. You're not asked to carry an offense here. You're not going to be posting up on the low block. But you still need to put in your work.
"There's a lot to it," Plumlee said. "You know you have to be a great screener to play for [Coach K]. You have to be on the boards all the time. There are different things you have to see as a big man. Like, in our half-court sets, you're going to be a playmaker-passer from the elbow. So, there's a lot that goes into it. Just because you aren't putting the ball in the hole, there's a lot more to it."
With so much uncertainty, you have to wonder if the U.S. might take four bigs on its roster (going back to that "extra bigs in my back pocket" line) for the first time since 2006, the first year of the Colangelo/Krzyzewski era, when the team lost to Greece in the semifinals of the World Championship.
Colangelo isn't ready to make that kind of decision just yet.
"It could be [the year they again take a fourth big]," he said, "but there's no lock on that. I want to put it in perspective. I do think we have to take advantage of this entire month of training camp, where we have an opportunity to see some things."
Colangelo aims to cut the roster from (now) 20 to 15 after this week in Las Vegas. And maybe five of those 15 are big men, to allow the staff to really figure out what they have and what they need.
"We'll learn something when we play Brazil in Chicago [on Aug. 16]," he said of an exhibition against the likes of Nene, Tiago Splitter and Anderson Varejao. "That's a huge frontline."
Will Plumlee be there? After practice on Tuesday, he wasn't even sure if his promotion was permanent.
"I'm just doing what they told me," he said. "They told me to get on the 11:00 bus and I'm here."
He seems like a long shot, but it sounds like Colangelo is keeping an open mind. Plumlee has two more days of practice and Friday's Showcase to make the staff's decision even harder.
When asked if he had spoken to teammate Kevin Garnett recently, Plumlee said that he did right before he came to Vegas. And it wasn't about next season with the Nets (which they had already discussed), but this opportunity. Whether he makes the team or not, Plumlee is trying to take advantage of his time here.
"[I want to] just pick up things from the best players in the league," he said. "It's not everyday you get to practice with [Derrick] Rose, Kevin Durant and a lot of these guys. So you're always learning no matter where you're playing. You see what they do, their habits, the different things that they find success with, and then try to add it to your game."
He might get even more time with those guys than he originally thought.

You could make a tiny side-business out of this. You could come up with drop-in replacement PCBs for certain popular control pads that give J-PC compatibility, tiny boards that would serve as easy-to-make VGA-to-JRGB-15 adaptors, and maybe even clone the XSIMMVI (an easier task then you think, there's like one TTL chip on the thing).
I'm out of a job so the project is halted for an unknown time.Eidis
Blue BMW, Did you use a 10Mhz PIC for your project ?Eidis
Thank you Lydux for the heads up. x68key2 entries have been removed to avoid further confusion. While we are at it, the following web page might be of interest to you http://kum.dyndns.org/works/mouse/index.htmlKeep the scene alive !EidisP.S. You wouldn't happen to be secretly developing a X68000 SOC ?
I got some premade boards from a guy on neo-geo forums. Not sure how many he made but they do make assembly a lot easier than a generic project board.
USB PS2 GND (black) <===> GND (3) Data+ (green) <===> Clock (5) Data- (white) <===> Data (1) +5v (red) <===> +5v (4)
These x68k <-> USB keyboards converters are liars... Most USB keyboards are able to talk PS2 protocols nativelly. So these converters just output a female USB plug instead of the mini DIN 6 (PS2) which is a good idea in fact ! USB plugs are cheaper, and every keyboards are USB nowadays anyway.USB to PS2 wiring :Code: [Select] USB PS2 GND (black) <===> GND (3) Data+ (green) <===> Clock (5) Data- (white) <===> Data (1) +5v (red) <===> +5v (4)I've personnally built a single chip x68k keyboard converter using an attiny45 in SOP8 package (about 5mm x 5mm IC). It's so small that it can fit directly inside the keyboard (a miniature one for instance), and I do have changed the USB male plug to a mini DIN 7 for the x68k (only 4 wires are needed on the x68k side, so the coord is still the same). Less than $5 solution !I'll try to put some pictures.I also would like to put the source code and microcode, but I need your help guys : I can't really determine of an ideal key mapping... So, I leave this to you and listening !

- What's New with the P90X2™ Nutrition Guide?
- P90X2 Takes It to the Next Level
- 5 Ways Hydrating Can Keep You from Hurting
- Success Story: Firefighters Know How to Bring It!®
- Recipe: No-Trick Granola Treats
What's New with the P90X2™ Nutrition Guide?By Denis Faye
Everyone wants to know how we went about breaking down the P90X® Nutrition Guide and rebuilding it into the P90X2 Nutrition Guide. After all, if it ain't broke, don't fix it, right?
In a way, that's true. Just as Steve Austin was a great astronaut before Oscar Goldman and the OSO spent $6 million to turn him into the Bionic Man, the P90X guide is still a great resource. However, you, our customers, have changed. We've spent the last 9 years watching you evolve into better, stronger, faster fitness fanatics. Our job was the make sure the guide evolved with you. Our job was to make a bionic nutrition plan.
When P90X first came out, Beachbody® had a fairly uniform customer base. Today, however, our customers come from all walks of life, so we need to address a much broader spectrum of needs. For example, a 105-pound mother of five just isn't going to have the same nutritional requirements as a professional basketballer. (Everyone knows the mom's life would be much more physically challenging.)
Furthermore, our original customers, after one or more rounds of P90X, with possibly a little INSANITY® thrown in for good measure, have become incredibly aware of their nutritional needs. They've learned exactly how much protein, carbs, and fat they need to perform. They've also started experimenting with various nutritional philosophies. Although I'm neither a vegan nor a primal eater, the sheer volume of questions about each on the Team Beachbody® Message Boards has forced me to become an expert on both.
So we took these factors, combined them with the latest research, and voilà! Welcome to the P90X2 Fuel Your Performance Nutrition Guide, a collection of 27 different subplans, among which you'll hopefully find a way of eating that works for you.
Out with the old
In order to offer all this variety, we decided to do away with the menu plan. The vast majority of P90X users preferred the portion plan anyway, so we focused on that. However, everyone loves a good recipe, so we reached out to some of our favorite chefs, including Tony's personal chef Melissa Costello, and asked them to design a host of meals for every occasion. In this new guide, you'll find scores of breakfasts, lunches, dinners, soups, salads, and Shakeology® recipes. Because we also have grain-free and vegan plans in P90X2, we made sure to have plenty of recipes to suit both of these dietary approaches as well. As was the case with P90X, each recipe lists the portion boxes to check when you eat it.
And don't worry, all your favorite recipes from the P90X Nutrition Guide will still work with P90X2.
We also tossed out a lot of the junkier food options featured in the P90X portion lists. At that point, many of you were still transitioning to healthy eating. At this stage, you should have no need for veggie dogs, V8®, or that fast food portion conversion list in the back of the old guide.
In with the new
For every low-quality choice we eliminated from the portion lists, we added two healthy and delicious choices. You'll find new fats, snacks, proteins, and more.
The three calorie "levels"—1,800, 2,400, and 3,000—are still there, as are the different macronutrient balances. However, given that the latest research is making the importance of dietary fat increasingly obvious, we upped the fat in all three "phases." We've also redubbed them "plans," because while we encouraged you to work your way up the three phases with P90X, by now you should have a pretty good idea what works best for you when it comes to performance, shedding fat, or both. In P90X2, you can just pick the one that works for you and run with it, changing plans whenever you feel like it.
That said, if you're still not sure if you should be eating the "Fat Shredder 2.0" approach, the "Energy Booster 2.0" approach, or the "Endurance Maximizer 2.0" approach, we've included a section to help you figure that out.
As mentioned above, we've also added vegan and grain-free options that work for all three calorie "levels" and all three macronutrient "plans." If you're familiar with these lifestyles, you can jump right in. Otherwise, the book includes plenty of information on how to implement them. Also, we acknowledge that some of you cowboys (and cowgirls) don't like to be restrained by portion lists. You just want to know how many calories or grams of carbs, protein, and fat to eat so that you can use your own foods and measurements. For y'all, we've provided charts listing all the numbers you need if you decide to forego the portion plan and just hit the macronutrient numbers on your own. Yee-hah!
Finally, we've let our top-notch design team rework the guide. They've taken a potentially dizzying amount of information and placed it in charts and graphs that should make it easy to digest. A nutrition plan never looked so beautiful.
In the 9 years since we launched P90X, we've watched umpteen diet fads come and go, each one claiming to be the final word in sports nutrition. It's absurd, really, considering there's no one single plan that works for everyone. The P90X2 Fuel Your Performance Nutrition Guide doesn't claim to do that. Instead, it's a wide-ranging guide intended to offer you all the tools needed to work with the only nutrition expert in the world who can truly tell you the right way to eat. That nutrition expert? You.

5 Ways Hydrating Can Keep You from HurtingBy Howard Shapiro
You're all set for your 3:00 workout. Pre-workout snack? Check. Exercise clothes? Check. But just when you thought it was safe to Push Play on your P90X® DVD, you realize there's one important thing missing: your water bottle!
That little 12-ounce bottle is truly a fitness enthusiast's best friend. After all, adequate fluid intake during a workout is essential for comfort, performance, and safety. And the longer and more intensely you exercise, the more important it is to drink the right kind of fluids.
Here are 5 important things to know about hydration and exercise:
Water works wonders. Did you know that in 1 hour of exercise, your body can lose a quart or more of water? (If you did, give yourself a big pat on the back.) It's a fact: Water helps replenish your body because of the amount you sweat during a typical workout.
Drinking water throughout your workout has a variety of other benefits too. Your muscles can start to cramp if you don't drink enough. This is because water aids in the removal of lactic acid, which is the primary cause of muscle soreness.
It also helps prevent the dreaded "D" word: dehydration.
Becoming dehydrated can severely hamper your athletic performance, slowing you down and making you feel sluggish. But in extreme cases, it can also cause dizziness, heatstroke, or even death. Last time I checked, none of these seemed like appealing options.
Want to make a preemptive strike against dehydration? Don't wait until you begin your workout to get water into your system. So when should you start, you ask? Great question.
- Drink water before, during, and after your workout.
Many people tend to forget about drinking before exercise, which can be another major reason for dehydration. None of the water you drink when you start working out makes it into your system quickly enough to help your body. This is why you need to drink about 15 to 20 ounces 2 to 3 hours before you work out in order to hydrate properly. (Sorry, this doesn't include alcoholic beverages.)
It's also vital to stay hydrated while you exercise. Remember to drink 8 to 10 ounces of water approximately every 10 to 15 minutes while you work out, not just when you're thirsty. And once you finish working out? Since your body needs to replenish the electrolytes it lost during exercise, a good sports drink will do the trick quite nicely.
- The skinny on sports drinks.
Sports drinks are perfect for athletes, or those exercising at a high intensity for 60 minutes or more. These drinks contain fluids that supply the needed calories required for continuous performance.
Be careful though, as most of these drinks add extra calories from sugar, which can wind up hurting your diet if you drink too much. How's that for a catch-22?
The bottom line is there's nothing wrong with sipping on a sports drink throughout your workout, and afterwards to replace essential electrolytes.
- Know the signs of dehydration.
The first sign is thirst. I know this sounds painfully obvious, but it's true. When the body is dehydrated, it sends a message to the brain that fluids are needed.
The next sign is the ever-annoying muscle cramp. When you sweat, you lose sodium, which causes cramping of large muscle groups. People sweat at different rates, and those who sweat more are at greater risk for cramping.
Next, it's time for a little bathroom break. No, not now—during your workout.
Basically, if your urine is the color of lemonade, you're doing well. If by chance it's leaning toward the color of apple juice, you need to reach for another glass of fluid. Other symptoms of dehydration include headache, poor concentration, fatigue, constipation, disorientation, and light-headedness.
- Tips for "wetting" your appetite. Here are a few helpful reminders to ensure that you don't find yourself on the verge of dehydration:
- Carry a bottle. Many people find it useful to fill up a big plastic drinking bottle. If you carry it with you all day, you won't find yourself without water when it's time to work out. Plus everyone else is doing it, so you'll look really trendy!
- Set a reminder. Set your watch to beep at the top of each hour, or set a periodic computer reminder so you don't forget to drink.
- Track your progress. Keep a log of how much you drink. This will help increase awareness and help ensure you're staying on track.
- Little by little. Whatever you drink during your workout, take it in frequent small amounts. This proven strategy guarantees that your body will absorb fluids more rapidly and effectively—leaving you energized and well hydrated.
In truth, the dangers of dehydration are real and often overlooked. However, staying hydrated before, during, and after exercise will keep your body's engine running smoothly. You'll be protecting your internal organs and preventing your muscles from getting damaged. I'll drink to that!

Please stay, Arsene! Thomas Vermaelen begs Wenger to stay at Arsenal
THOMAS VERMAELEN is desperate for Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger to sign a new contract at the Emirates.
Wenger, 64, has yet to agree an extension past the end of the season but, having just completed 1,000 matches in charge, is expected to stay on in north London.
Arsenal have not won a trophy since 2005 but skipper Vermaelen maintains Wenger, who joined the Gunners in 1996, is still the man to take the club forward.
"Everybody wants him to stay as long as he can," he told the Daily Mirror.
"He's been incredible what he's done for this club, and for the players as well. We would be really happy for him signing on for a few more years.
"The spirit is unbelievable in the team. We've worked a lot on our team shape and everybody knows their role in the team, everybody's working for each other and that's because there is a great team spirit.
"That's the great improvement for us this season.
"It is just the hunger in the team. Of course it was there before but the spirit is great and you can see us fighting for each other really hard."

DII and III Men's Club Champions Crowned
DII and DIII Men's Club Champions Crowned
New Orleans adds another trophy to the cabinet, this time in DIII.
GLENDALE, Colo. - This time last year, New Orleans came to Glendale for the Emirates Airline Men's Club Championships, and walked away with a DII National Championship. This year, their second side made the trip to Colorado, are now DIII National Champions.
The 2012 Emirates Airline USA Rugby DIII Men's Club National Championship trophy was hoisted by NOLA after a hard fought battle with Philadelphia Whitemarsh.
MVP Andrew Quackenbos was unbeatable with his kicking for goal and his tactical kicking as well from the Fullback position. He had 15 points to his name, all penalties, at the half. Philly scored in the 9th minutes to take a brief 5-3 lead, and it looked like they would pile on more too. NOLA was camped out on their own five meter line for what felt like an eternity. Posession would go back and forth, but ulitimetly NOLA was able to clear their line and releave the pressure. Halftime score 15-8 NOLA.
Philly Whitemarsh made a comeback in the 61st minute when Louis Tulio gathered an errant ball and scooted in 30 meters for a try. It was 28-15 to NOLA at that point, and anybody's game to play for.
New Orleans Wing Kevin Ndongi would put a quick end to that momentum however. Philly dropped the ensuing kickoff, and Ndongi was Johnny on-the-spot to collect the ball as soon as it hit the deck, and would race untouched in for another NOLA try.
Tulio would add one more for Philly, but it was too little too late as NOLA #8 Peter Bell put the nail in the coffin and gave the DIII club from New Orleans the 36-20 win.
New Orleans 36
Tries: E. Mackintosh, Ndongi, Bell
Cons: Quackenbos (3)
Pens: Quackenbos (5)
Tries: Conway, Tulio (2)
Cons: Rosato
Pens: Rosato
Rocky Gorge Lays Claim first Title in Club History
Rocky Gorge Rugby Football Club out of Colombia Maryland mounted a second half comeback to win the Emirates Airline USA Rugby DII National Championship on their first crack at the title. The club had previously made an appearance in the round of 16 last year, but was derailed in their championship effort.
Having topped Santa Rosa in a lightning delayed match on day one of the championships, Rocky Gorge was out to prove a point on day two facing off against a Wisconsin side riding the high of a last second victory in the semis.
The first half of the match looked to be all Wisconsin however. Cody Moran-Guevara dotted down first for Wisconsin just eight minutes into the match. Gareth Donath followed up with another try just nine minutes later, and all of a sudden it was 14-0, and Rocky Gorge had barely had a sniff of the ball.
Bryan Perez got Rocky Gorge on the board following a nice series of phases in the 32nd minute to bring the game within a converted try. Wisconsin replied with a penalty, but MVP Fullback Andrew Kendall answered right back with a try at the halftime whistle to bring the score 17-12 at the break.
Almost as soon as the whistle blew for the start of the second half, Rocky Gorge sped in for another try through Mike Meehan, and just like that Rocky found themselves on top of the heap with a 19-17 lead. Wisconsin would take a brief lead with a penalty kick, but they would not be able to find the try zone again for the rest of the match.
Rocky Gorge completed their comeback with tries from Will Miller and Josh Brown to take the 37-26 victory, and the DII trophy.
Wisconsin Inside Center Rob Llwellyn was complimentary of Rocky Gorge. "We felt like we were doing great in the first half, but they were able to take us out of our pattern of play early in the second half, and we couldn't recover."
Rocky Gorge is comprised of mostly former players from Eastern Maryland Universities, including many from DII College Runners Up, Salisbury.
Wisconsin 26

Cons: Jobke (2)
Pens: Jobke (4)
Rocky Gorge 37
Tries: Perez, Kendall, Meehan, Miller, Brown

Spring 1947 The original 9 hole layout was substantially changed in 1947, when # 3 was altered by the elimination of the dogleg around the old barn and parking lot. The original # 3 green was abandoned, along with the # 4 tee and fairway. The revised # 3 included most of the old fairway, the old # 3 tee, and an enlarged # 4 green. At the same time a new par 3 hole (#7, now 16) was created by turning the # 8 tee 90 degrees to the left and building a new # 7 green and a new #8 (now #17) tee.
Spring 1964 The course was expanded to 18 holes by the addition of the Herman farm west of Smoketown Road, which had been purchased by the University in 1947 at a cost of $9,000. Golf course architect Edward Ault, of Silver Spring, Maryland redesigned the course. He added a large pond (#12 & 13) to the old layout, placed five new holes (# 4, 10, 12, 13) out of the original acreage. The cost of these improvements was $76,000.

In a night where the Vancouver Canucks won't have head coach, John Tortorella, behind the bench until the end of the Olympic break for game situations, they take on the Edmonton Oilers with their new netminder, Ben Scrivens, between the pipes. Mike Sullivan makes his Canucks debut as head coach during Torts' 15 day, 6 game suspension.
Tonight is a night the Vancouver Canucks need to play catch up and make some ground on the teams that are leading the Pacific Division and the Oilers, more often than not, are a sure two points. Here are 10 things I picked up during the game, via twitter, television and whatever other media you can throw my way.
- Hashtag of the night #FreeTorts: Many of Canucks Nation not happy with the suspension for head coach, John Tortorella, and have started a hashtag about it. I'm sure it will be kept on until the return of the charged-up leader.
- Ironman Streak Dies: Henrik Sedin did not start a game for the first time in about 10 years and 679 games. Have a seat Hank, you deserve the rest. The boys got this.
- Kellen Lain: If you play him more than two seconds, he shows he can score a goal with some ice time. Lain gets his first NHL goal in the first period.
- Boom Boom is Back: Kevin Bieksa continues to show he can still go toe to toe dropping the gloves with Jones. Juice has been fiesty lately and fighting in almost every single game since LA.
Tweet of the Night : @kb34myhart The last time Burrows scored was before Hank's ironman streak started– Poor Burr, just can't buy a goal.
- Kassquatch is Beast: Zack Kassian scored a goal, made a few Henrik-like passes and shows just how fast he can skate. At 23, he is still inconsistent, but we can see the flashes of power forward brilliance the kid has. Cody, whaaaa??? Oh yeah, Zack scored the game winner as well.
- Shutout Mucked Up: Luongo was brilliant in this game, but Sam Gagner pushed Luongo out of his crease. Lu had to dive back in, over Gagner, had the puck in his net. Now, if there was ever a goal to overturn, that would have been it. Seriously NHL officials, how is that not goalie interference? Despite that, Luongo stopped 28 of 29 shots and looks ready for Sochi.
- Scoring Woes Continue: The Canucks as a collective still have only scored 7 goals in their last six games with a 3-3-0 record. Their goalies have been spectacular without much goal support.
- Bottom Half Pickings: The Canucks aren't winning against the top teams in their division yet, but they are collecting the 'gimme' points as they should to keep in the hunt. Sometimes, you need to work your way from the bottom up, and with the depleted line-up, as a fan, I will take the two points where I can get them. However, when facing team like Edmonton, more than two goals would be nice to see on the score sheet.
- MIA: Torts (suspension) Henrik- (Rib/Finger, DTD) Santorelli (Shoulder, IR) Stanton (Left Ankle, IR) Alberts (Head, IR) Schroeder (Foot/Ankle, IR)
The Canucks won 2-1, but not without giving the fans a bit of a heartattack in the last few minutes of the third period. It set the twitterverse on edge and the cynicism came out in droves, it felt like a meeting of disgruntled divorcees bitching about how good they used to have it before the struggles came into their lives. However, the two points were the Canucks' and all was well (sort of) in Canuck Nation once again.
Up next is home versus Nashville. I will not be attending that game in person. In fact, I am even thinking of cross the Fraser River to the suburbs to keep away. I like this short two game winning streak the Canucks are on right now, so I will stay away. Those nasty Predators always seem to win when I am present in the building they are playing and it doesn't have to be the Canucks, but I will tell you that story another time. Tonight, I'm content. The Oilers still suck and the Canucks sucked less for a 2-1 win.

MLB Weekly Report: New York Yankees and Washington Nationals Have League-Best Records at the All-Star Break
The Major League Baseball All-Star Game is Tuesday in Kansas City. The New York Yankees and Washington Nationals have the best records in their respective leagues at the mid-season break. Here's what's happening this week in Major League Baseball:
Bryce Harper and Other Reserves Named to All-Star Teams
Washington Nationals' outfielder Bryce Harper was named to the National League All-Star team on Saturday in place of Miami's Giancarlo Stanton, who sustained a right knee injury that requires surgery. Harper, 19, becomes the youngest position player in All-Star history…Atlanta Braves outfielder Michael Bourn was named to replace Nationals' shortstop Ian Desmond, who will sit out the game to rest a sore oblique muscle…Chicago White Sox pitcher Jake Peavy will replace Angels' pitcher C.J. Wilson on the AL roster, as Wilson has a blister on his left middle finger…Texas Rangers' pitcher Yu Darvish and St. Louis Cardinals' third baseman David Freese were added to their respective league's all-star squad after winning the online election in the MLB Final Vote contest.
Home Run Derby Lineups Set
Eight sluggers will take aim at the Kauffman Stadium fences in Kansas City on Monday night in the All-Star Game Home Run Derby. Robinson Cano, Prince Fielder, Jose Bautista and Mark Trumbo represent the American League, while Matt Kemp, Carlos Gonzalez, Carlos Beltran and Andrew McCutchen swing for the National League.
Play of the Week: Carlos Gomez, Milwaukee Brewers
There were a lot of highlights in last Tuesday's high-scoring Brewers-Marlins game, won 13-12 by Milwaukee. None was as spectacular as this catch by Brewers' center fielder Carlos Gomez, who crashed into the wall to get the out on Logan Morrison and keep the game tied at 11.
American League Report: Yankees, White Sox and Rangers Lead AL Divisions
AL East: After a sluggish start and despite significant injuries to closer Mariano Rivera and starters Michael Pineda, CC Sabathia and Andy Pettitte, the New York Yankees (52-33) have baseball's best record and lead the AL East by 7.0 games over Baltimore. Even if the patchwork starting rotation stumbles, the Yankees look like a safe bet to make the playoffs.
AL Central: With a powerful, veteran lineup leading the way, the Chicago White Sox (47-38) lead the AL Central by 3.0 games over the Cleveland Indians. If Chris Sale, Jake Peavy and Jose Quintana can continue to deliver quality pitching, the White Sox will be difficult to catch.
AL West: Winners of the last two American League pennants, the Texas Rangers (51-34) look to be stronger than ever, as they lead the AL West by 3.5 games over Los Angeles. If Yu Darvish and Matt Harrison can duplicate their first-half success in the second-half, the Rangers should secure a playoff spot.
First-Half MVP: Josh Hamilton, Texas Rangers — While he has cooled off a bit on the home run pace, Josh Hamilton still leads the AL in home runs with 27 and RBIs with 75. His .313 batting average is good for eighth in the league, and the threat of his power helps all the Texas hitters see better pitches.
First-Half Cy Young: Jered Weaver, Los Angeles Angels — Other hurlers may have been more overpowering, but no American League pitcher was better than Jered Wever in the first half. Batters hit just .188 against Weaver, and his 10 wins place him second only to Tampa Bay's David Price and Texas' Matt Harrison.
National League: Nationals, Pirates and Dodgers Halfway to the Playoffs
NL East: Shedding their reputation as doormats of the NL East, the Washington Nationals (49-34) have the National League's best record and may have its best young talent. Between rookie Bryce Harper and emerging pitching aces Stephen Strasburg and Gio Gonzalez, the Nationals figure to stay in contention for this season and many more to come. They lead Atlanta by 4.0 games.
NL Central: An even bigger surprise than Washington, the Pittsburgh Pirates (48-37) are a game ahead of Cincinnati in the NL Central. If the Pirates, who haven't finished with a winning record since 1992, can add another starting pitcher and keep All-Star closer Joel Hanrahan fresh enough to finish games down the stretch, they could break that streak.
NL West: Despite losing dynamic outfielders Matt Kemp and Andre Ethier for long stretches of time, the Los Angeles Dodgers (47-40) are a half-game ahead of rival San Francisco in the NL West. If Los Angeles can add a capable middle infield bat and get their stars back in the outfield, they may have enough to win the division.
First-Half MVP: Andrew McCutchen, Pittsburgh Pirates — Andrew McCutchen leads the league in hitting at .362 and has delivered spectacular play in the outfield for the Pirates. His 18 home runs, 60 RBIs and 1.039 OPS are impressive as well.
First-Half Cy Young: R.A. Dickey, New York Mets — Knuckleball pitchers are supposed to frustrate batters, not dominate them; Mets' pitcher R.A. Dickey has done both. Dickey is tied for the NL lead with 12 wins with Gio Gonzalez. His 2.40 ERA is fourth in the league, while his 123 strikeouts are second.
Upcoming Series to Watch: Los Angeles Angels at New York Yankees
Though they stumbled at the start of the 2012 season, the Los Angeles Angels (48-38) have recovered to get back into playoff contention. While they still trail Texas by 3.5 games in the AL West, the Angels hope to claim one of the two AL wild cards. They start a three-game series in New York on Friday against a Yankees team that can hit against anyone, even Angels' aces like Jered Weaver and C.J. Wilson.
Fantasy Player to Add: Neil Walker, Pittsburgh Pirates
Pirates' second baseman Neil Walker extended his hitting streak to 12 games by going 5-for-5 on Sunday. With the rest of the Pirates lineup hitting well, Walker should continue to see better pitches and have more opportunities to drive in runs.
Fantasy Player to Drop: Dan Uggla, Atlanta Braves
Though he does have 12 home runs at the All-Star break, Atlanta second baseman Dan Uggla is hitting just .140 since June 1. The starting second baseman for the NL in Tuesday's All-Star Game, Uggla is a key part of the Braves' lineup. He'll have every opportunity to reverse his slide, but that won't be any time soon.
