Diner Reviews
Paiche is downstairs at Stella
(where we live) it is consistently great food, excellent service and a fantastic aatmosphere. Yesterday we went with two other Australian friends who own a restaurant in Australia and they were very impressed also."
Dined on 7/28/2014
I went here with a group of
friends for Paiche's dineLA menu. We each sampled a variety of dishes from the choices we had for the dineLA lunch. The food was good and tasty for the $25 lunch set, which includes three courses (appetizer, entree, dessert). The arroz con pollo is really good. The chicken is cooked perfectly! We loved the spicy tuna tacu tacu and the desserts were heaven! You get to choose either the tapioca or churros and we shared both among the four of us. The churros are sooo good and it comes with chocolate dipping sauce! Make sure you try some of their Peruvian cocktails - very interesting selections. Loved the food, but just wished the portions were larger to really get the bang for your buck :)"

Service and ambience were really
nice, however the food was disappointing. Understood the portion sizes are 'small plates' but the food is grossly overpriced, under-portioned, and the flavors in the dishes did not make up for it."
Dined on 7/26/2014
Came here for dineLA lunch. Food
was delicious. We had to get back to work so we told them we were in a rush... but it was still pretty slow. It took an hour and a half for lunch and most of the time was spent on waiting for our dishes to arrive. There weren't that many people so I'm not sure why it took so long, especially for the dessert which was served cold. Once the food came it was delicious! I would highly highly recommend the tapioca :)"
Dined on 7/24/2014
I was told this place was great.
an hour into hour meal we had returned one dish, half ate another, did not touch the 3rd dish and the 4th only ate 1/2. It took forever to get the food and at the end the check as well."
Dined on 7/23/2014
The noise level was so loud. The
water finally arrived and we said we were starved and tried to order appetizers. He said that was not allowed because the kitchen required the full order be placed at once. Weird for a tapas restaurant. He finally agreed to make an exception for us. 15 minutes later, he returned to take our drink order. We had to call him back to take our dinner order. Finally, our appetizer arrived. Drinks 15 minutes after we finished the appetizers, one at a time. A couple of our tapas arrived but after two hours, we called the waiter and asked when our food was coming. He said the kitchen is divided in sections and it comes when it comes. We waited another 15 minutes and cancelled the rest. We left still hungry."
Dined on 7/23/2014
Definitely on the pricey side but
Paiche is the epitome of getting what you pay for. Not for people who value quantity for a value price but perfect for foodies and those who love food. There were flavors I've never experienced. I'm vegetarian so I was a little worried but the server was so knowledgeable that I left completely satisfied. A truly unique experience."
Dined on 7/23/2014
As always, Paiche foes not
disappoint our palates and taste buds. Everything is great! Service, food, location and the dining experience. Try it and you will not stop coming back."
Dined on 7/22/2014
The food and service were great. I
would definitely go back again."
Dined on 7/21/2014
We really enjoyed our dinner at
Paiche, there were a few hiccups. We had reservations but we're not seated for 45 minutes. I don't recommended it for large parties - we were 8 and they were slammed on this Saturday night so it took forever. Our server did the best she could but seemed to have a lot of tables to attend to. The food was amazing but I hope the restaurant adds additional help in the front of the house."
Dined on 7/19/2014
There were 6 of us that had dinner
during the DineL.A. week. The special menu that night had some tasty items and some that were just Ok. We enjoyed our specialty drinks and had pretty good service from a very energetic server. But there was too much time in between dishes and one of the chicken dishes arrived luke warm. Our table was right up against the open kitchen which was fun for watching the food being prepared, but a bit too noisy. The noise level is extremely high because of all the concrete surfaces and loud music. The dishes I saw coming out of the kitchen off of the regular menu were definitely larger portions than the DineL.A. menu items. It was pricey, but it's worth trying again."
Dined on 7/19/2014
This was some of the most
creative, delicious, fresh, sushi/ceviche I've ever had. The fish was sweet as candy and the marinades on the sushi, heavenly. Great care taken in the preparations. The tamale appetizer-amazing. The meat dishes-also superb. Our specialty drinks were superior. Creative combinations of fresh juices, herbs and interesting liquors. Our waiter, Butch, was what every wait-person should be--knowledgable, attentive, friendly, considerate, despite being very busy. We can't wait for the next opportunity to return here. This chef is a master."
Dined on 7/19/2014
I still had a gear time at Paiche
but it used to be exceptional What I observed Portions seemed to be cut by at least a third Food seemed rushed on a Saturday night less bang for your buck the reason it's so yummy is the Argentinian fire so felt ripped off Drink prices have soared still the make a very mean Pisco Sour On the bright side VERY accommodating for allergies Food was mostly delicious"
Dined on 7/19/2014
main course was on the small side
otherwise very good."
Dined on 7/19/2014
Went there for lunch dine in l.a.
And the menu was good. Service was great and they had a good selection of cocktails. The eggplant tartar was really good as well as the fish. Tapioca pudding was really good. I dont like raisins but i ate them tbis time. Really good!! I would definitley come back for the regular menu."
Dined on 7/19/2014
Went for late lunch during DineLA.
Food was delicious and beautifully presented but for a $25 lunch, portions were just too skimpy. One entree came out several minutes before the other...do I wait for my companion's food while mine gets cold or eat in front of him? Dessert "churros" were five very small dough balls rolled in cinnamon sugar and served with chocolate and lucuma sauces. Given that 3 of 5 pieces were hollow (mostly air), there weren't even 5 mouthfuls. At 1:45pm very loud music came on killing conversation for more than 5 minutes until someone on staff honored customer requests and finally lowered the volume."
Dined on 7/18/2014
I love this restaurant. My third
time here but we haven't been back for a year or so and we came back for our anniversary. It was just as great as I remembered. They serve small plates and the dishes are completely different but wonderfully delicious. The drinks are awesome. It's crowded though so plan ahead. My only complaint is we had reservations and they tried to give a horrible table (you have to squeeze into it while others are eating and there is a wait station on the other side- they can't offer it to larger people). So we had to wait awhile (it was Thursday night at 730 ) but then we got a great table on the patio."
Dined on 7/17/2014
Good restaurant but they forgot
our dessert and it was not that busy."
Dined on 7/17/2014
9 of us went for dinela for lunch.
the wait staff seemed a little put off by the fact that we were mostly student types and were not spending big bucks. they made snide comments to that effect. courses took a long time to arrive which is fairly expected. however when they did arrive it was not all at once and inevitably 7 of us stared at our food getting cold while we waited for the other 2. we were not made to feel welcome, and that is the primary reason i won't return. the food, however, was very tasty and the dineLA deal is good."
Dined on 7/16/2014
We went for lunch and the food was
great. I might have given it an outstanding for food and service, but they were having a little trouble adjusting to the Dine LA pace so one of our items wasn't hot when it arrived and the service was slow to start, then excellent. They remade our dish and it was spot on the second time. All the other dishes were excellent, especially the lomo saltado. They make their own juices for cocktails so everything was fresh and yummy; since it was lunch I had the passionfruit lemonade and they have a selection of other non alcoholic options. I would recommend this place for a nice dinner out or a drink and snack on the patio."
Dined on 7/16/2014
It's always a pleasant surprise to
find a reasonably-priced restaurant on the Westside offering a unique take on international cuisines, and Paiche does this well. Foodies will appreciate the chance to sample small-plates offerings combining Peruvian and Japanese tastes and textures. From the terrific rice cakes with the Yuzu aioli to the home-made churros, served with both a great chocolate sauce and a wonderful pumpkin-cream sauce, you can't go wrong. The menu choices and the food coming out of the kitchen makes you want to keep the small plates coming!"
Dined on 7/15/2014
I have visited Paiche many times.
I would give this place 5 stars if it weren't for the noise level. Food is outstanding. Peruvian Japanese fusion with emphasis on fish. Rock shrimp tempura, short ribs and lobster fried rice among my favorites. But, really, all the food is excellent. Service is particularly good. Staff is polite, efficient, and very knowledgeable about the menu. I am also thrilled there is actually an upscale, hip place to eat in Marina del Rey . . . meaning I don't have to hit Abbott Kinney every time for weekend dining. Parking is easy and free. My only issue is the noise. Music is blaring and you have to yell at your table mates to be heard. If possible, book a table outside, where it's a bit quieter."
Dined on 7/12/2014
The food here was fantastic. It
rivaled meals we had in Lima Peru and at Le Mar and San Francisco. However the service was atrocious. A relaxing Saturday lunch with the place three quarters empty took over two hours, but not because we wanted it to. They did Comp us one dish. however that didn't make up for the frustration. Nice, but totally in attentive server."
Dined on 7/12/2014
Wonderful. Just wonderful. What a
pleasant surprise. The food is top notch and the concept really works. Really helpful and engaged staff. A fabulous bar. And absolutely spectacular food. I don't eat a lot of Peruvian food, so the flavors were revelatory. Everything was really fresh, well seasoned and creative. My wife and I love eating out and this experience was a home run. Can't wait to introduce friends and family to this restaurant."
Dined on 7/11/2014
Paiche has the most intricate
melody of tastes; like an orchestra each playing individually as well as in concert with each other. Outrageously delicious, perfect plates of just the right amount of food/color & texture. The ambiance is a bit loud, but what can you expect when its a bustling restaurant and everyone is talking about the flavors of each dish; one better than the next as you go down the perfectly prepared list. The exectutive chef is amazing and should be recognized as an artist of robust flavors while allowing the taste buds to distinuish each ingredient."
Dined on 7/5/2014
Outstanding in every way. Also,
unfortunately, outstanding as well in the minamalist portions and the not so minamalist prices! C'mon guys - $4.00 for two small slices of bread. Notwithstanding the prices, this place is worth saving up to experience. You'll be getting some real taste treats. And don't forgo the Pisco sours."
Dined on 7/2/2014
My friend and I went to Paiche for
lunch on Tuesday. It was so noisy inside (loud music) we chose to sit on the patio where it was very cold. We were told that the restaurant would not let the server pull down the shade to block the wind. My friend ordered a $19 beef entree and there was not enough beef to make a meal. My chicken dish was very good however. My friend complained to the server and the hostess. We will not be back for lunch. The server was wonderful!"
Dined on 7/1/2014
Read a good review in a magazine
and was excited to taste Japanese/Peruvian fusion. The ambiance was cool (despite being across from a mall and attached to an apartment complex) and service was pretty good...the waiter forgot a starter but then the manager gave us a dessert on the house. The menu was interesting and we were really excited to try new combinations of flavors...and cultures! The yellow tail cerviche and the chaufa de langosta were extraordinary. The cauliflower was very good, the octopus cerviche (would have been better without the olive sauce) and eggplant tartar were just ok. The churros were delicious but tiny (definitely not the kind of American churros we are used to seeing). I would go back to try more of the menu."

Order the fried rice. And
everything else on the menu is equally amazing."
Dined on 6/21/2014
Based on my experience at Picca,
when I heard about Paiche, I was motivated to meet a friend there for lunch. It was early and very serene scene. If you crave Pisco Sour this is the place"
Dined on 6/21/2014
Our waiter Frankie was so helpful
in explaining how each dish was prepared, and what to order. The concept is small plates to share, and everything we ordered was delicious. We will definitely be back soon!!"
Dined on 6/20/2014
The food was great but the
portions were too small and it was too expensive. Left kinda hungry after paying $80."
Dined on 6/16/2014
Food was good if you like little
bites and you are a foodie and you like spicy. I don't like any of those, but I found some things that were good such as the Nieman Ranch pork belly - superb. Margarita was one of the best creative cocktails I have had. Liked the vibe for Sat night; wished we had taken a group, but our waiter was not good."
Dined on 6/14/2014
Been to Paiche since it's opening
party. Food is good, portions are small and overpriced. Haven't been in awhile, they removed some good dishes from the menu, added some new ones that were just ok and raised the prices. Waiter told us they increased the portion sizes but I didn't see that. I prefer their other restaurant, Picca. I like the food, I like the space, but $20+ for some of these small plates is just not worth it. Gjelina does it better."
Dined on 6/13/2014
What I tasted was creative, fresh
and well prepared. Unfortunately I was dining with someone who wanted one dish only and this is a place where one really should try to sample a variety of items. There are diverse offerings, many unfamiliar to me, but the waiter did a great job of introducing us to the menu and making suggestions. The staff is very accommodating and are clearly great fans of the chef and his menu. The atmosphere is sophisticated, energetic but relaxed and friendly - not an easy combo to pull off. I will be returning, this time with food-savvy friends. My initial visit tells me that this menu fully deserves further exploration & I look forward to doing so. Also, so pleased the business decided to locate in the Marina."
Dined on 6/13/2014
Paiche is Perfection in so many
ways! Welcoming and unpretentious staff, not too loud and AHHHmazing food! The drink selection for someone that really isn't a huge drinker (especially when it comes to liquor) was equally adventurous and gastronomically interesting ...so, we ended up trying several! Augustine and Giovanni took such fabulous care of us and made spot on recommendations that I would have trusted either of them to father my first grandchild.... Really, lovely fellas! :) All around - great place to go for a quiet dinner or a birthday celebratory occasion as we did! One Suggestion: please go there with a designated driver; you will definitely want to try the cocktails."

Paiche is a must if you are in LA.
A Japanese fusion twist to the peruvian tapas scene, Paiche serves up some of the most amazing, mouth watering food you will ever taste. My few favorites include Yellowtail and Salmon cerviche, the Yuquita is always popular and awesome. Lomo Saltado almost taste like char kuay teow (flat rice noodle) from the streets of Singapore. And how can you say no to Wagyu Beef carpaccio with truffle oil. Ample garage parking and in a quaint, trendy neighborhood, you won't be disappointed with this exquisite restaurant. "

New Castle News
My wife watches cooking shows on TV.
I don't.
There is one chef on the Internet I do check in on once in a while.
If you want some good Italian recipes and have a good chuckle, watch Chef Fabio Viviani on the web.
This week, his recipe was for simple lemon chicken, or chicken piccata.
I had my wife watch the episode, and I gave her the recipe.
She actually made it.
There was one ingredient that we did not have on hand.
Since it was my idea to make it, I had to go to the liquor store and purchase my very first bottle of wine.
You must realize that I was always taught, "one sip of booze and you go straight to hell."
This was going to be a new experience for me.
I timidly pulled up in front of the Wine and Spirits place, carefully looked around to see if I knew anybody, then made a mad dash into the building.
You have all heard the joke that the Arabs don't recognize the Jews, the Protestants don't recognize the Pope, and Baptists don't recognize each other in the liquor store.
Luckily, no one recognized me.
Skip the manager asked me if I needed any help. I usually say "no" when someone asks that, but I wanted to hurry and get out of there.
I told him I needed a bottle of white wine, not cooking wine, to cook chicken in.
He chose a bottle of white chardonnay and told me the price was $6.95.
I could handle that.
Then he asked the big question: "Do you have a corkscrew?"
Do I look like a guy who would not have a corkscrew?
I said, "Probably, but I don't know where it is."
He sold me a corkscrew.
The directions on it said, "Screw the worm into the cork."
What worm?
I finally figured out it must mean the screwy thingy on the corkscrew.
I was amazed how easily I opened the bottle of wine. Maybe I could be a waiter someday.
The chicken piccata turned out very good. It was the most tender piece of chicken I have ever eaten.
You have to watch Chef Fabio to see how to do it.
Now I have the problem: what do you do with the leftover wine?
I don't think you get sent to hell for just having a bottle in the house, do you?
I think I'm going to hide it under the sink, right behind the oven cleaner.
It will probably remain there until I die.

Borderline personality disorder—persons with this disorder present instability in their perceptions of themselves, and have difficulty maintaining stable relationships. Moods may also be inconsistent, but never neutral—their sense of reality is always seen in "black and white." Persons with borderline personality disorder often feel as though they lacked a certain level of nurturing while growing up and, as a result, incessantly seek a higher level of caretaking from others as adults. This may be achieved through manipulation of others, leaving them often feeling empty, angry and abandoned, which may lead to desperate and impulsive behavior.

Frequently occurring disturbing thoughts or images are called obsessions, and the rituals performed to try to prevent or dispel them are called compulsions.
Panic disorder—characterized by chronic, repeated, and unexpected panic attacks—bouts of overwhelming fear of being in danger when there is no specific cause for the fear. In-between panic attacks, persons with panic disorder worry excessively about when and where the next attack may occur.
Paranoid personality disorder—persons with this disorder are often cold, distant, and unable to form close, interpersonal relationships.

Jumpers, people with a genetic anomaly that enables them to teleport themselves instantaneously to anywhere on the globe, have existed for centuries. An age-old battle rages between the Jumpers and the Paladins, a clandestine organization set on eliminating them from the planet. The Jumper game extends the film�s storyline, following Griffin, a battle-hardened Jumper determined to avenge the death of his parents at the hands of the Paladins. Griffin�s quest to find the killer spans exotic locales around the world.
Jumper: Griffin's Story (also known as Griffin's Story: Jumper) is an Action/Adventure video game for PlayStation 2 published by Brash Entertainment on February 14, 2008. It's rated Teen by the ESRB and 13 of our users have voted it 4.6 out of 5 stars.
Our newest cheats for Jumper: Griffin's Story were added March 18, 2008. We also have the game available on Xbox 360, Wii, in addition to PS2.
Pause the game, then press L1, Circle, R2, R1, L1, X, X, X, Square.
Beating the final boss isn't hard if you have the flame thrower, all you have to do is pause the game go to quit, as long as you got the flamethrower earlier in the game it will be in your trophy room. Get it and go to the globe if you saved before you quit you should be right at the boss fight.
To beat the first boss without him fighting back, all you have to do is wait for him to destroy the door. Once he does that teleport (Jump) behind him and he will be stuck in a loop and wont move. Just don't go near the door you came in through or he will move again.

Waterfoot dad died from a cocktail of drugs, inquest heard
11:00pm Wednesday 8th February 2012 in Waterfoot
A FATHER-of-one died after taking a lethal cocktail of drugs, an inquest heard.
Andrew James Hartley, 49, of Bacup Road, Waterfoot, died with a mix of diazepam, alcohol, and morphine in his bloodstream, in August last year.
An inquest into his death was adjourned on January 17, to launch a witness appeal to find his ex-girlfriend Shelley Cooban.
Appearing at Burnley Magistrates' Court, Ms Cooban told Coroner Richard Taylor that she met up with Mr Hartley after arranging to have a drink with him at his flat.
She told the inquest Mr Hartley had picked her up in his car the day before his death, before driving to buy them alcohol.
Miss Cooban said: "Andy was not a regular heroin user.
But, while I was at his flat, he asked me if I wanted 'a dig' – this I understand to mean take heroin.
I knew that taking heroin while drinking and taking diazepam, like we had been doing, was not a good idea, so I told him 'no'."
She said that she and Mr Hartley had words and she stormed out to clear her head.
When she returned to the flat some time later she said she found Mr Hartley lying on his bed surrounded by drug paraphernalia.
Mr Taylor said: "I have been left the only option of recording a verdict of accidental death. I have no doubt, from what you told me, about how Andrew was working hard to battle his alcohol addiction, and that he had no idea that this combination of drugs would end his life."
His family questioned if an 'unexplained' puncture mark in his right hand could have been made by somebody else injecting him with morphine.
Speaking after the inquest, his family said: "Andy was not a junkie. He was a really good lad.
"He would have done anything for anyone."

A Connecticut truck driver who was accused of falling asleep at the wheel before striking and killing a Nassau County Police officer from Wantagh in February 2011, will avoid jail time after pleading guilty to lesser charge Thursday.
John Kaley, 27, of New Britain, Conn. had been charged with criminally negligent homicide for crashing his tow truck into Michael Califano while he was conducting a routine traffic stop along the Long Island Expressway in Old Westbury on Feb. 4, 2011.
On Thursday a little more than two years after the incident, Judge William O'Brien dismissed the criminally negligent homicide charge and Kaley pleaded guilty instead to reckless driving, according to Nassau County District Attorney's office spokesman Chris Munzing. He will not face jail time with his new misdemeanor charge but did have his license revoked.
Califano was a 12-year veteran of the Nassau County Police Department before his tragic death. He left behind his wife, Jackie, and three small children, Michael, Christopher and Andrew.
Inside the Nassau County Courthouse in Mineola where Kaley's plea deal was announced, prosecutor Maureen McCormick read a prepared statement from Jackie Califano.
From Newsday:
- "There have been so many sleepless nights, and two years later there continues to be," McCormick read as Califano's widow draped an arm around the two youngest boys. "How am I going to raise three boys alone?"

What I want to know below is where to bug report the poor series of questions I'm being asked...
Every time I reboot (at least), I get a crash dialog ("Sorry, Ubuntu 12.04 has experienced an internal error"). Clicking on show details shows the problem is with smbd, but the rest of the trace does not appear. When I wish to continue to send a bug report, I am told I will be asked a series of questions in a window titled "Apport". The first question asks:
How would you best describe your setup? -I am running a Windows File Server -I am connecting to a Windows File Server.
Since I am doing both, I have no idea which to choose. In any case, selecting one leads to the next question:
Did this used to work properly with a previous release? -No -Yes
But I never tried to use Samba in a previous release, so I can't seriously answer this.
After picking an option here, I get more questions in a similar vein. Surely there should be "I don't know/I haven't tried" options, even if they simply mean you can't submit a useful bug report.

Very pretty pictures. Thank you Rosa.
This one is my favorite, she reminds me Laura Lepisto a litlle.
I saw Marissa Castelli / Simon Shnapir last year at a show near Boston. They are not yet considered world class, but I think they have potential.
Wonderful pictures Rosa. Pang & Tong are my second favorite team. My heart belongs to Shen & Zhao.
Moi loves pair skating. It started with Rodnina avec both pairs, the G/G and Dimitriev with both the ladies, Mandy W. and Ingo, Peggy Schwartz and Mirko Muller, Elena Bereznaya and Anton S.... All the pairs who did something unusual.
S/S on the wow pair now, but I have also loved followong Shen/Zhao to develope from techically very good pair in to real artists. Great!
Looking forward to V/T now. Tatjana could become the next queen of pair skating, and Maxim is unusually expressive for a pair skating guy.
Here is a short video I took of Marissa and Simon last year. I had to stop recording due to low battery. After I stopped recording, Simon grabbed Marissa's feet and swung her around. Her head came very close to the ice on one end of her orbit. We all thought her skull was going to be crushed. We literally gasped!

Leading up to Tuesday, the Class 3A regional softball matchup between Camanche and Davenport Assumption had all the makings of a thriller. The teams had split their series during the regular season — the Knights taking the first game 6-5 in late May and the Indians avenging that loss with a 5-3 win in mid-June.
Heading into the bottom of the third inning, in fact, both teams looked as if they were bound for another nail-biter, Assumption leading 1-0. Then the Knights turned up the offense, and the game spiraled out of control for the Indians.
Assumption put its first eight runners on base en-route to an 11-run inning and a 12-0 shutout win. The third inning was a small-ball exhibition; none of the 15 Knights hitters had an extra-base hit during the rally, combining for eight singles and five walks. All but one Assumption batter recorded an RBI.
The loss eliminated Camanche from contention.
"It kind of makes you feel like, when are we going to get out of this inning? When are we going to stop them?" first-year Camanche coach Erin Schlotfeldt said. "But for the most part, they were hitting the ball where the defense wasn't, and there's really nothing we could do about it."
Maddy Matthys, Kaitlyn Andresen and Jamie Miller each had multiple hits for the Knights, who move on to face Northeast in the regional semifinals Frida at Goose Lake. Miller also got the shutout, striking out six Camanche batters without allowing a hit.
"We're definitely battle tested," Assumption coach Bob Matthys said, adding the team's tough Mississippi Athletic Conference schedule served as good preparation for the postseason. "I told the girls, we had our 40-game preseason, now it's time to go."
The Knights jumped in front in the bottom of the first inning. Maddy Matthys looped a single to center field, then rounded three bags to score on Andresen's left-field double two batters later.
Camanche starter Morgan Mussmann appeared to settle in a groove after that, sending down the next five batters she faced to keep her team within one run through two innings.
The Indians couldn't catch fire offensively. Assumption gave Camanche's leadoff hitter a free base in each inning. Then Miller turned up the heat, striking out two batters in each frame for an abbreviated no-hitter.
"Our hitting disappeared," Schlotfeldt said.
Mussmann faced 11 batters and allowed seven runs in the third before being replaced by Kelsey Sexton. After Mussmann walked Andresen — Assumption's fourth batter that inning — the bases were loaded for the rest of the game. The Knights' hits found all the right holes, blooping just out of the infield's reach. The game ended when Miller lined one to center, scoring two to give Assumption the 12-run rule victory.
The end was disheartening for Schlotfeldt, but she didn't dwell on negatives during her team's last huddle of the season.
"I'm definitely happy with our season overall," she said. Camanche posted a 19-12 record after finishing 12-11 and 8-19 the previous two years. "I'm excited to get back at it and work on things for next year.
"I pretty much complimented them on their season. (The loss) is extremely frustrating for me, and I can only imagine how they (the players) feel. This game definitely does not reflect our whole season."
Camanche 000 — 0 0 0
Assumption 10(11) — 12 10 1
Morgan Mussmann (2 1/3 ip, 8 h, 8 r, 8 er, 4 bb, 1 so), Kelsey Sexton (1/3 ip, 2 h, 4 r, 4 er, 1 bb) and Jordan Goldbeck; Jamie Miller (3 ip, 0 h, 0 r, 2 bb, 6 so) and Clair Bird. Multiple hits — Assumption (Maddy Matthys 3, Kaitlyn Andresen 2, Jamie Miller 2). 2B — Assumption (Andresen). RBIs — Assumption (Matthys, Mary Kate Kilfoy, Andresen 3, Clair Bird 2, Miller 2, Emma Valainis, Ashley Ackerman, Hannah Guy).

DEXTER Larry E. Bergfield, 43, of 17120 County Route 53, Lot 53, was charged about 8:45 a.m. Saturday by Jefferson County sheriffs deputies with two counts of second-degree criminal contempt and a single count of unlawful possession of marijuana.
Police allege that he returned twice to his residence Saturday despite an order of protection issued Friday from Brownville Town Court mandating that he stay away from the home. It further is alleged that he possessed a small amount of marijuana.
He was arraigned in Brownville Town Court and sent to the Metro-Jefferson Public Safety Building, Watertown, on $500 bail.

No motive is yet known for the alleged double homicide that took place in Johnstown's Minersville neighborhood earlier this week.
The shooting victims – Kevin L. Burt, 33, and Alicia J. Welborn, 35 – were discovered Wednesday night. There were signs of drug use at the residence, located on the 100 block of Benshoff Street, according to Johnstown police Chief Craig Foust. A person who discovered the bodies, but who is not considered a suspect, was arrested after police allegedly found marijuana in his possession.
Burt was arrested on misdemeanor drug charges in December 2012.
Welborn, a former special education teacher at State Correctional Institution-Pine Grove in White Township, Indiana County, was charged with institutional sexual assault, official oppression, delivering obscene materials to a correctional facility, identity theft and forgery earlier this year.
But it is unknown if any of those factors were connected to their murders.
"It's too early to say right now," said Foust.
Cambria County Chief Deputy Coroner Jeffrey Lees pronounced both victims dead at 10:18 p.m. They were found on the first floor of the house. Autopsies were performed at Conemaugh Memorial Medical Center on Thursday.
"Both received multiple gunshot wounds," Lees said.
The two victims were shot in the head. Lees did not go into any more detail about the number of wounds, firearm used or the time the shootings occurred.
"I'm not going to elaborate on how many times they were shot or the location of the wounds," said Lees. "It's an ongoing investigation."
A call came into the police at 9:20 p.m.
Burt and Welborn were reportedly discovered by Justin Turner, who was later arrested for possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver.
He was arraigned on Thursday. "They were found by a friend who came to check on them," Lees said.
Foust added, "He was a reporting party, not a suspect."
The JPD is continuing its investigation. No witnesses have been located.
"If anybody has information, give us a call," said Foust.
Burt and Welborn are the sixth and seventh homicide victims in Johnstown this year. There have been 10 total murders in Cambria County.

Keeping the Hard-Core Racist in the Dog House in South CarolinaTuesday, 04 June 2013 10:33
On May 24, IREHR published an article detailing the white nationalist, Tea Party and anti-immigrant activities of Roan Garcia-Quintana, who South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley had named as a co-chair of her re-election campaign. Four days later, Gov. Haley asked for and received Garcia-Quintana's resignation from that post. While it is difficult to know what exact sequence of events led to the rejection of this white nationalist-Tea Partier, we do know that IREHR was the first to publish a catalogue of his misdeeds. Washington Post reporter Mary Curtis did cite IREHR's 2010 report Tea Party Nationalism, which contained the relevant information on Garcia-Quintana, although she did not mention it by name but by inference as a "NAACP-backed report."

Study finds optimism among mid-sized manufacturers
Prime Advantage report shows hiring, capital expenditures will rise in 2013
In its semi-annual Group Outlook Survey, manufacturing buying consortium Prime Advantage said its members are showing great optimism for growth in 2013 despite pressures over raw material and healthcare costs.
Among the study's findings:
- 68% of respondents expect revenues to increase in 2013
- 87% of companies expect capital expenditures to grow or remain constant in 2013, with 39% planning to spend more than 2012 levels
- 43% of companies plan to hire more employees in 2013 and 52% plan to maintain current employment levels. This is higher than the 39% that indicated they would be hiring in the second half of 2012
The cost of raw materials is a concern and is among top cost pressures for 90% of manufacturers
"We are encouraged to see that our members expect to see growth in 2013, after a very strong 2012 for most," said Louise O'Sullivan, founder, president and CEO of Prime Advantage. "As they focus on profitability and margins, we look forward to partnering with both Members and Endorsed Suppliers to fuel the bottom line, reflecting Total Cost of Ownership, along with the top line, greater sales and market share."
Anticipating strong revenue and capital spending
Most small and midsized manufacturers expect to beat strong revenues of 2012, with 68% of respondents anticipating an increase in sales in 2013. New product launches are the main reason for expected revenue increases, cited by 61%, followed by an expected increase in overall customer demand, cited by 57%.
Capital expenditure planning remains healthy, as in the previous two years, with 39% of respondents planning an increase from 2012 levels.
Employment continues to grow
Manufacturers' hiring plans remain in expansion mode, with 43% planning to hire more workers this year. Although this number is slightly down compared with 2012, when 56% of respondents planned hiring, it remains significantly above expectations in 2010, when only 24% of companies were hiring.
The top concern of 2013, the cost of raw materials, is also a leading cost pressure concern. More than 90% of respondents included raw materials in their top three cost pressure concerns and 42% cited this concern in the leading position. However, it is encouraging that this seems to be declining, relative to recent surveys.
Healthcare costs moved back into second place among top cost pressure concerns, with 57% of respondents including it in the top three. And in 2011, healthcare costs were cited as the fourth-greatest concern among small and midsized manufacturers.
The cost of base materials for components, although still in third place, was cited by fewer respondents as a concern than in prior years.
Nearshoring is here
Companies are seeking the benefits of near-shoring. In the past twelve months, more than one-in-five respondents have brought international sourcing closer to United States. These results are similar to the Grant Thornton Study on Nearshoring, where 25% of respondents indicated they brought sourcing closer to the U.S.
More than 70% of respondents have increased material and service purchases from American suppliers and service providers. Mexico is the second choice for sourcing, with nearly 28% of respondents moving sourcing to that region. The most frequently cited benefits that manufacturers hope to see in nearshoring are shorter lead times, as indicated by 67% of respondents, and lower inventories (49%). Among other benefits, companies cited better supply chain control (40%) and better overall communication (39%).

Annual Salary Survey
Participate in the 2013 Salary Survey
In a year when manufacturing continued to lead the economic rebound, it makes sense that plant manager bonuses rebounded. Plant Engineering's annual Salary Survey shows both wages and bonuses rose in 2012 after a retreat the year before.
Average salary across all job titles for plant floor management rose 3.5% to $95,446, and bonus compensation jumped to $15,162, a 4.2% increase from the 2010 level and double the 2011 total, which showed a sharp drop in bonus.

killer micro
[Popularised by Eugene Brooks] A microprocessor-based machine that infringes on mini, mainframe, or supercomputer performance turf. Often heard in "No one will survive the attack of the killer micros!", the battle cry of the downsizers. Used especially of RISC architectures.
The popularity of the phrase "attack of the killer micros" is doubtless reinforced by the movie title "Attack Of The Killer Tomatoes" (one of the canonical examples of so-bad-it's-wonderful among hackers). This has even more flavour now that killer micros have gone on the offensive not just individually (in workstations) but in hordes (within massively parallel computers).

Los Angeles Police Department Capt. Bill Murphy was nursing a slight cold when he was assigned last week to protect a number of LAPD officers and their families facing death threats in an online manifesto by disgraced ex-LAPD officer and cop killer Christopher Jordan Dorner, who was killed Tuesday following a dramatic manhunt believed to one of the largest in U.S. history.
After working as much as 14-hour shifts for six days, Murphy was back at the LAPD Northeast Community Station on Friday—this time, with what appeared to be a full-fledged cold. Dressed in casual slacks and an LAPD T-shirt, the commander of the Northeast station took the time to speak to Patch in his office about the LAPD's role in the task force to track Dorner and ensure the safety of dozens of people targeted in the fugitive's online manifesto.
Patch: Is it correct that the LAPD was leading the task force assigned to the Christopher Dorner investigation, even though it did not participate in the search for him?
Capt. Murphy: No, the task force was run by what they call a Unified Command, which means different law enforcement agencies were involved in it. The task force was not [based] at the LAPD. I can't talk about where that was, but it was [at] what they call the JRIC—the Joint Regional Intelligence Center, [which] was making decisions about the search for the suspect Dorner. However, the lead agencies for the investigation were where the crimes occurred. For example, the double murder in Irvine—Irvine would be the lead investigation for that.
Under the Unified Command system, people go into a meeting, and those who are the decision makers for a particular organization—we [LAPD] had [Assistant] Chief Michael Moore at that—come up with objectives. They say, Okay, these are our goals for the next operational period. This went on for days. So, in the LAPD—and I'm assuming other law enforcement agencies—we went into an "A" and a "B" watch. The "A" watch was from six in the morning to 6 p.m. at night, and the "B" watch was from 6 p.m. to six in the morning. So you always had a team of people running the investigation—the JRIC—and making decisions.
In the case of the LAPD, our mission basically was to protect the people who were the targets. I was in charge of that function, under Operations, which is protecting the officers—the captains—who were on the Board of Rights [that found Dorner guilty of making false statements before his dismissal from the LAPD].
I understand there were 50 LAPD officers—serving as well as retired—and their families that were offered protection.
Capt. Murphy: Well, at the end we had 77 locations. Our Robbery and Homicide divisions—our lead detectives down at police headquarters—did threat assessments, based on the information available. They're good at it—that's what they do for a living. Depending upon what was the target—the person [for example] that Dorner may have wanted to try to kill—they would put a certain threat level on them.
Obviously, the highest level threats we'd put the most protection on. For example, Randy Kwan himself was the highest level. So was Teresa Evans, the FTO who was Dorner's field training officer when he was a rookie. Those people we put LAPD SWAT officers on. On many other targets we brought in other specialized uniformed resources, like gang officers. Depending on the level [of threat] some [officers] were inside the [targets'] house, some were outside. But we clearly were visible—we wanted that when Dorner came around he would see a bunch of police cars and a bunch of officers. It wasn't like we were hiding in the house. The posture was visible protection.
Given the great cost of such an operation and the fact that officers were diverted from general patrol duties, did it make sense to put the individuals at the highest level of threat in a single house?
Capt. Murphy: We actually considered that as an option. There were plans to put [individuals facing] the highest level threats in a military base, and we were in talks with two military bases for that. Obviously, we had to bring in our risk assessment managers—after all, what if the military bases were attacked? But in the end, we decided against it [the plan] because there were too many factors involved—families had children in different schools, they had pets and what not.
What do we know about how Dorner's truck got burned down? Did he torch it deliberately? Or did it catch fire when the axle broke?
Capt. Murphy: When they do the investigation, they'll know for sure. They'll bring in arson investigators who will get an absolute confirmation on it [the cause of the fire]. I can only say, being in the LAPD command post, that he probably did burn the truck. That's what I would think—I can't say for certain. It appeared to people that it was more like a diversionary tactic.
But the burned truck ended up being a handicap for Dorner. It immediately attracted attention to him.
Capt. Murphy: By the time they found the truck, it was hours later. We obviously didn't know for sure where he was. That's why San Bernardino [Sheriff's Department] brought in lots of police officers to search that area—they brought in hundreds of 'em. If you listened to talk radio, everybody had a theory—that he escaped the mountains, that he was still up there. I believe we were aided by the snow. There was a tremendous amount of snow. Had it been a summer day and it was 70 degrees or 65 he probably could have got out of that area quicker.
I think his game plan—and again, the investigation will come up with what it was—was to go into a cabin and lay low. The majority of those cabins are not occupied year around. And it's actually not a bad game plan if you just wanted to hide out for a while, being up in the mountains, where there's not a lot of people. Unfortunately, he broke the axle on the vehicle, which changed the way he was going to have to operate. He had to go to Plan B, basically. I'm sure San Bernardino County will come up with what they believe why he burned the truck. It's probably as simple as a diversion.
So in the end, they had him in a state of siege. There was no way he was going to get out of there, even though night was approaching. Did San Bernardino officers have to burn the cabin down? They could have just waited him out.
Capt. Murphy: What happens in law enforcement as well as the Fire Department is that we have an Incident Command system. It's a very extensive system—every law enforcement agency and fire department in California is trained in it. In fact, the Fire Department created the system, and the idea behind it is to work together very quickly in a crisis situation.
In our case, the Incident Command system was to bring different law enforcement officers to capture Dorner and hopefully put cuffs on him, and if not, at least to neutralize him because he was out there killing and shooting at people. And many of them were police officers, so this was the highest level of threat that you could possibly have. When you're out there shooting police officers—people who are paid to protect their community—it doesn't get any worse than that.
So there was an Incident Commander on the scene with Dorner. I'm sure you saw the newscast—there were literally hundreds and hundreds of bullets shot. He had assault rifles and he had the ability to use 'em—he was ex-military, ex-LAPD—and he also killed one of their officers and shot another one. So I would never question what an Incident Commander would do under that [circumstance]. And today, in the L.A. Times there was a debate about that very topic. Several experts—kinda university professor type of experts—defended it, saying that, hey, this guy had already proven that he was basically a domestic terrorist, killed a bunch of people, just shot two officers and killed one of them.
Generally speaking, in a situation like that, does the Incident Commander have full authority to decide a course of action?
Capt. Murphy: I've been in situations involving dozens of barricaded suspects. The way the LAPD operates is that whoever the Incident Commander is—generally it's the captain of the area—makes the call. And our SWAT—our Metropolitan Division—would come with a tactical plan and offer a suggestion. But whoever the Incident Commander is makes the call. I don't know if that's their [San Bernardino County's] format. But it's usually pretty consistent in law enforcement.
Chief Beck had said that he would reopen the investigation into Dorner's complaints that he was unfairly fired from the LAPD. Is that going to go ahead, even though Dorner's dead?
Capt. Murphy: Yes. Because I think the reason Chief Beck said that is because he wants transparency. He wants to maintain the faith and trust of the community. I believe what was already done—the investigation previously and the findings of the Board of Rights—will end up being true. I've been on many Board of Rights, and sadly I've had to fire somewhere between 12 to 15 people. So, I've done what the Board's done and I know the process. I'm confident in the process. But I do believe that Chief Beck is doing the right thing. We'll reopen the investigation, we'll be transparent about it, we'll share it with the world, and I expect that the [previous] findings will be upheld.

Great movie! I'm currently writing a spoof of this that has something other than zombies for the monstrous killers.

Night of the Living Dead is one of my alltime favorites, But will y'all consider Peter Jackson's Bad Taste? It took four years of weekends due to everyone involved in the film-making had regular Mon-Fri jobs. One character had the unshaven look at the beginning of the film, an Jackson said he needed him to keep that look.....for 4 years. Your a regular guy, and your told you can't change the way you look for a near half-decade. I don't suspect anybody got paid a decent amount of money, either. Just something for you guys to think about....
Ultimate no budget moviePenwig on Friday, March 23, 2007 - 3:57am
Perhaps everyone forgets that Night of the Living dead, the original, is and has been for some time PUBLIC DOMAIN. Which means George dosen't get a dime.
Now on the other hand. The profit margin was huge for Blair Witch. I believe it made over 100 millon. And yes It was such a low budget that they even returned the digital video camera they used in that movie. You also have to take into consideration what 60k was worth in 1968 as compared to 40k in 1999. 60k was a lot of money back then.
Also NotLD also had sequels, which were all good movies.
Blair's sequel, book of shadows, blew with braces on.
But if you want to talk about movies with no/low budget you cant forget titles like Plague Zombie, Dead Alive, The Burning, I drink your Blood, Last house on the left.
too many to count.

when you compare the 1960s dollars to 1990s dollars you also have to account for prevailing technologies in those times. It costs far less to shoot on video than film. Equipment is easier to come buy and processing costs are non-existent. By the time Blair Witch hit theatres it had also been post-processed by a major studio, so the movie's actual budget had gone up considerably.

The Port Arthur News
In the midst of phones ringing relentlessly and radios crackling like crows at Fire Station No. 1, the Port Arthur Firefighters Association Local 397 kicked off its annual Fill-the-Boot Campaign Monday to raise money for the Muscular Dystrophy Association.
For three consecutive Fridays starting this Friday, Port Arthur firefighters — some on duty, some volunteering — will be standing out on busy intersections around the city to "fill the boot" with enough money to help the 300 families the MDA assists locally.
Firefighters will be out — boots in hand — April 5, 12 and 19.
Michael Adaway, an engineer with the Port Arthur Fire Department, has been out on Fill-the-Boot campaigns twice before, and he was more than ready to give it another go.
"It's fun. I always see a lot of friends whenever we're standing out, depending on what intersection we're at," Adaway said. "It's a little bit of a challenge to see — between the guys in the crew — who can collect the most money that particular shift."
But the best part for Adaway and probably the other firefighters who volunteer to stand around outside for hours, tilting boots toward car windows so drivers may drop in dollars or cents, is the opportunity to interact with the community.
"You will see all walks of life give money," Adaway said. "It's really surprising."
Mayor Deloris "Bobbie" Prince, who read a proclamation in honor of the event, placed the first dollars in the boot Monday morning.
The local 397 has raised more than $55,000 for the MDA over the past 10 years, said Sophie Freeman, fundraiser coordinator for the MDA. This year, the nonprofit health agency hoped to collect at least $10,000.
"We wouldn't be able to do what we do for our families without their donations and their support," Freeman said.
Battalion Chief Jay Fountain said the community's reaction to the Fill-the-Boot Campaign has never disappointed.
"It's amazing when we go out and raise this money," he said. "People will give you their last dollars."
Plus, the campaign has never been boring.
"We're standing in the middle of the road, talking to people," Fountain said. "We like to get out and use any excuse to talk to the people — even standing in the middle of the road."
MDA, a nonprofit health organization, focuses its resources on defeating neuromuscular diseases that affect more than a million Americans, according to a press release. Its program includes nine forms of muscular dystrophy, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (Lou Gehrig's disease), spinal muscular atrophy, Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease and other neuromuscular conditions.

2 businesses plan to build in railport; expected to bring 90 jobs to Clinton
Two railroad industries will locate facilities in the Lincolnway Railport this spring pending final approval of state and local incentives, bringing 90 new jobs to the area.
Clinton Regional Development Corp. and city officials announced during a press conference Friday morning that RAIL.ONE, a German manufacturer of railway track systems, and Utah- based Nevada Railroad Materials, Inc. will work in conjunction to become the first rail-served tenants in the park. They will join the park's only tenant, the 10-million gallon biodiesel plant, Clinton County Bio-Energy.
RAIL.ONE will build a new manufacturing facility for the production of concrete rail ties in the railport, which has a main line connection to one of the Union Pacific's busiest lines.
"We had good reason for choosing Clinton as the location for our factory, which will be one of the most advanced production facilities for railroad ties in the world. Its good location and its outstanding infrastructure links were convincing for us," Jochen Riepl, CEO of RAIL.ONE GmbH said.
"Likewise, the natural resources in this region offer us the best of opportunities for production of top-class products. These are crucial factors that led us to opt for Clinton over other competing regions and, in turn, to decide to create new jobs at this location."
The new factory will be RAIL.ONE's first plant in North America. The total economic impact of the RAIL.ONE project is estimated to be $20 million, with 62 direct jobs. According to Clinton Mayor Mark Vulich, RAIL.ONE plans to break ground in May in order to be in full production by February of next year.
NRM will partner with RAIL.ONE, supplying railroad cars to the company and recycling old, wooden railroad ties. In business for 20 years, NRM is headquartered in Ogden, Utah, with additional locations in Arizona, Oregon and Nebraska.
NRM will bring 30 jobs to Clinton.
RAIL.ONE will occupy 25 acres and NRM another 20 to 25 acres of the more than 500-acre park. In order to take advantage of incentive packages that will include enterprise zone and TIF incentives, the companies have committed to paying at least above $14 an hour. The Clinton City Council will discuss the local incentives during the Committee of the Whole meeting Tuesday night.
"The Clinton community can take pride in its steady commitment to create an environment that attracts new companies and supports the growth of existing business," Vulich said. "The two new tenants for our railpark are a result of a vision that began over 10 years ago. And thanks to the commitment of many dedicated individuals, we are now seeing the fruits of their labor."
CRDC Board of Directors Chairman Rich Phelan echoed Vulich's sentiment, pointing to the foresight of previous economic development and city leaders.
"The railport has been a long, long haul... It's been 17 years since Hugh LaMont and people like Bob Holesinger, Pete Clausen and many others had the foresight to say 'we need to do something to position our community to grow in into the 21st Century.'"
The railport represents a $20 million investment that was made in hopes of making Clinton a global gateway for industry.
"I think the community needs to understand the political risk that the Clinton City Council and the Board of Supervisors have taken in investing multiple millions of dollars in the railport over the last 17 years," Phelan said. "The community keeps asking 'where is the payback?' Folks the payback is here today."
Phelan also thanked former CRDC Director Steve Ames and former Chairman Bruce Christensen who have been working to secure the RAIL.ONE development for nearly three years. According to Phelan, the company approached the state and was then encouraged by the Union Pacific to look at the Clinton railport.
Phelan said he believes RAIL.ONE and NRM's choice will attract more attention to the railport.
"This really opens up the industrial rail park.Now people are going to be able to say 'we have this functioning in our community,'" Phelan said.
According to Vulich, the development of these two industries has already opened up two pad ready locations in the railport along South 44th Street for future industries that do not have to be rail served.
"We're not done. We're just getting started," Phelan said.
Data Dimensions plans to expand operations, build in tech park, add jobs
Data Dimensions will construct a 26,000-square-foot operations center in the Lyons Business and Technology Park that will bring 130 new jobs to the area, pending approval of local and state incentives.
The operations center is a capital investment of $6.2 million and will bring 130 full-time jobs to Clinton, doubling Data Dimension current Clinton workforce. These jobs will pay between $10 and $20 an hour, Mark Bush, chairman of Data Dimensions said during a press conference Friday morning with City of Clinton and Clinton Regional Development Corp. officials.
The new facility will occupy about five acres behind the Winkel, Parker and Foster building and be nearly double the size of Data Dimensions' current
facility located at 2001 Manufacturing Court. It also will house a state-of-the-art Tier II data center and will allow the company to service its tremendous growth anticipated over the next three years, according to Clinton officials.
Wisconsin-based Data Dimensions first located a processing facility in Clinton in 1988. It doubled the size of its facility in 1999 and his since continued to bring jobs to the area.
"This pending expansion in Clinton comes during our celebration of 25 years of being privileged to be part of the Clinton community. Our Clinton production facility has been a key contributor to our growth and long-term success over the past 25 years. We are excited to make such a substantial investment in the community of Clinton," Bush said.
The decision to expand the facilities was belabored for many years, according to Bush, because Data Dimensions is a privately owned, second-generation company.
"We do something like this, we're putting our necks on the line," Bush said. "These decisions are things that we bank and guarantee ourselves so we're all in."
The Lyons Tech Park is in an enterprise zone, which will allow Data Dimensions to take advantage of job training benefits, tax abatement and refunded sales tax on materials if certain thresholds are met. The Clinton City Council's Committee of the Whole will discuss the details of local incentives at its meeting Tuesday night.
Pending approval of the incentives, Bush said construction of the facility will begin in late April or early May and be complete in November.
The announcement that Data Dimensions would build the new facility came at the same time it was announced that two businesses, RAIL.ONE and Nevada Railroad Materials would locate in the Lincolnway Industrial Rail and Air Park.
"The Data Dimensions and RAIL.ONE projects underscore the confidence in the Clinton region as a great place to do business and the marketability of the area as a global gateway," Richard Phelan, Clinton Regional Development Corp. Board of Directors chairman said. "Bolstered by the Clinton region's economic strength and a stable workforce, the CRDC, in partnership with Clinton's public and private sectors, has diligently positioned the region for future growth. That preparation is now beginning to pay off."
Clinton Mayor Mark Vulich stressed the significance of already local companies increasing their footprint in the community.
"It is equally important to have an existing company expand their operation within our community. It is vital for our local companies to know that the city appreciates the fact they are within Clinton and that the city is willing to assist them in any way," he said.

Juuse Saros
Position: Goaltender
Foreign team: HPK-Jr. (Finland)
Born: Forssa, Finland
Measurables: 5-foot-9, 161 pounds
2012-13 stats: 37 games, 1.86 GAA, .933 save pct.
Central Scouting rank: No. 1 (European)
Lowdown: Goaltending has become a tall man's position. Scouts drool when prospects resemble 6-foot-3 Carey Price or 6-2 Ryan Miller. Europeans such as Saros and the Sabres' Jhonas Enroth (5-10) are doing their best to prove size isn't everything. Saros has stood tall so far.
The Finnish phenom backstopped his country to a bronze medal at the under-18 world championships, making 24 saves against host Russia in the third-place game. His best outing came during the preliminary round when he stymied the United States with 49 stops during a 2-1 upset of the Americans. He finished the tournament at 5-2-1 with a 1.86 goals-against average and .946 save percentage.
Saros excels at stopping rebounds. He was the best goalie in Finland's junior league, but he's yet to face adult competition. The inexperience and lack of size are his main drawbacks.
They said it: "He had a great season, has extremely quick reactions and reads the game very well. He's the No. 1 goalie prospect in Europe. He was good last year but has been sensational this season." – Goran Stubb, NHL director of European Scouting, to NHL.com.
The Buffalo News is profiling 30 prospects in 30 days leading up to the NHL draft June 30.
