Make no mistake though, the Jets are not willing to take the Chargerspicked by many to win the AFC Westlightly.
Offensively theyre explosive, Head Coach Eric Mangini said at his presser Wednesday morning.
He talked about how San Diego can beat a team in the air or on the ground with several different weapons.
Theyve got multiple playmakers, Mangini said. Whether its Tomlinson; when Tomlinsons not in they put in [Darren] Sproles whos just as explosive whether hes running the ball or catching the ball out of the backfield. Then ya got [Antonio] Gates, [Chris] Chambers, [Philip] Rivers. Hes [Rivers] playing as well as hes played and he keeps getting better and better every year.
Mangini noted how hard San Diego has been playing lately, as they always have, and how their 0-2 record could very easily be 2-0.
You look at the two plays at the end of the games, youre talking about six or eight inches on both those plays, Mangini said. Its a constant reminder of how close these games are, how small a difference can dramatically change that record.
RB and return man Leon Washington said Not at all, when asked if he sees this as an opportunity to jump on an opponent when its down.
Its a good football team, Washington said. Were 1-1, theyre 0-2, and a lot of teams are 0-2. They were in the AFC Championship last year. Theyre looking to get back on track and were looking to do the same thing.
LB Calvin Pace felt similarly about the Chargers 0-2 record.
Theyre gonna be ready, Pace said. Theyre 0-2 and they could very easily be 2-0. Its Monday Night Football, everybodys gonna be fired up so we just have to go out and do our game and well be fine.
While San Diego is assumed to be in a must-win situation this week, QB Brett Favre sees it as a must-win for the Jets as well.
It was heartbreaking the way theyve lost, Favre said. Theyre still very explosive, and explosive on defense. Believe me, well see their best Monday night, no doubt about it.
Seeing San Diegos best means a high powered offense that is likely to put up a lot of yards, and a lot of points. In just two games, the Chargers have scored 62 points, more than half of that of the Jets.
For Favre, facing a team with such a high-scoring offense doesnt make his job any different.
I can never look at a drive as, Okay guys, this is a drive we can afford to punt or go three-and-out, Favre said. I dont look at it that way. I try to do whatever I can to deceive the defense so we can score, get a big play out of it. In a game like this, I think its magnified even more.
Every time you go three-and-out, youre giving this team another opportunity to go up on you more and more. Theyre gonna score. Theyre good. When you have opportunities, however they may come, you have to make the most of them.
A part of the game where opportunities have been lacking is in special teams for the Jets, something that has in the past been a strength for Manginis team.
The impact it [special teams] has on the game is undeniable. With punt returns, there werent really many opportunities last week. I think Leon [Washington] has really made progress there, Mangini said.
Washington sees every week as an opportunity to return the ball, despite having limited opportunities last week against New England.
We need to stay on track, keep doing what were doing, Washington said. Its a process, keep chipping away, keep getting better and better each week. If you continue to do that, things will snowball and well get better as the year goes on.
Roster Moves
Coach Mangini announced Wednesday morning news that was released yesterday that the team released OL Matt McChesney, WR Paul Raymond, and LB Brandon Renkart from the practice squad. Additionally, they signed OL Stanley Daniels, LB Kenwin Cummings, and P Waylon Prather. To replace the released P Ben Graham, FA P Reggie Hodges was signed to the active roster. Hodges had most recenlty been on the Patriots practice squad and was orinially a 6th round pick of the Rams in 2005.
Favre Continuing to Come Along
Favre said the chemistry with his receivers has gotten a lot better, citing a jump ball he threw for Jerricho Cotchery last weekend on a play that got called back.
I felt like from watching him on tape, the little bit of time I spent with him, that our chances were better than theirs if I just threw it up to him, gave him a shot, Favre said. Not that you want to throw the balls up, but I feel confident that our guys can do it, especially in certain situations.
At some point you just say, Hey, guys arent going to be open all the time, you got to trust that these guys will make plays. I feel confident with those guys.
Regarding his learning the offense, terminology, and language, Favre said that it doesnt hit his brain exactly the way he wants it to, but he is a lot better than where he was during training camp.
What we have in I feel like Ive managed very well up to this point. I know theres a lot more we could put in, but I feel like what we have in, not only the last two weeks, but what were putting in this week and probably in weeks to come, we can win every game with.
Reporters at Meetings?
A reporter asked Coach Mangini about being second guessed a lot about some play calls, and if hes thought about bringing some of these reporters into the game-time meeting, which brought laughter to the crowd of reporters.
No, Mangini said with a smile. I think its understandable. Everybody is evaluating the game, and I appreciate that. Im just always working to try to put the best play at that time. Thats why were calling it.
Not Easy to Let Graham Go
When asked about the release of P Ben Graham, an Australian native, Mangini noted that it was difficult for him.
Its always the most difficult part of this job. You develop relationships with players over time, Mangini said.
A strong memory of being in Australia with him in Geelong in a cow paddock with his girlfriend at the time who is now his wife, and pouring rain. We had one football. I think its amazing what hes done to this point in terms of totally changing sports and having the success hes had, but I just thought at this point it was the best thing for us right now to make the change.
Conference Call PPD
Due to playing on Monday rather than Sunday, the usual Wednesday afternoon conference call with select players and coaches of the opposition was put off until Thursday according to Jets PR staff. Be sure to check Jets Insider tomorrow for complete coverage.

More than a dozen airmen walked 140 miles to honor a fallen hero from Loganville.Major David Gray, 38, was killed last August by a suicide bomber in Afghanistan. The men Gray commanded were still in combat when the father of three died last year and they couldn't come home for his funeral. So last week, they strapped on their boots for a special farewell."They just said it was their way of saying a final goodbye to my brother," said Ronnie Gray, David's brother. The airmen marched from Dover Air Force Base in Delaware to Arlington National Cemetery in Washington, D.C. "For those guys to take time out of their lives to honor my brother in that way, it showed me a lot," said Ronnie Gray. "It showed me that my brother was a tremendous leader, and those guys loved my brother a lot."They called Major Gray a father figure; many times they told the Gray family how much they admired him. But during their 140-mile march, the last mile was done in silence to show how deeply they felt for their fallen leader. "I wasn't prepared for it to be as emotional as it was. When I got out there and saw his guys and saw their emotions, it was all I could do to hold back the tears," Ronnie Gray said.Major Gray's widow and their three young children were in DC and got to meet with the airmen at the end of their march. She told family members that she was glad her children could see how important their father was.

GRAND HAVEN, MI (WHTC) -- The jury in Ryan Wyngarden's murder trial only took one afternoon to come back with a guilty verdict in the double murder of Wyngarden's sister Gail and her husband, Rick Brink, according to Mlive. Cold case investigators were working the case in 2012 and interviewed Wyngarden and his wife, Pam. He was arrested in January 2013 in part because of a statement given by Pam to investigators. The trial began on March 5th. Sentencing is scheduled for April 21st.

Terra Sancta Estate Rose′ 2012
Bob Campbell Review: 93/100 "Pale pink wine with the scent of strawberries and wildflowers. Charming wine with a seductively silky texture and an elusive suggestion of sweetness that fades to a gently drying finish. It's hard to imagine a Pinot noir Rose getting much better than this."
Sam Kim Wine Orbit Review: 91/100 "A delightful rosé, the bouquet shows lifted aromas of raspberry, red cherry, floral and a hint of stone fruit.It's juicy and lively on the palate with excellent weight and perfectly pitched acidity, finishing long and refreshing. This is more flavoursome than most rosés with superb intensity. At its best: now to 2015."
Taste Magazine, November 2012: Bob Campbell's picks. "This gold medal, trophy winning wine is about as good as rose can possibly be...Totally seductive wine with a label that will add gravitas to any occasion."
Terra Sancta Estate Pinot Noir 2011
Sam Kim Wine Orbit Review: 94/100 "2011 was a challenging vintage in Central Otago, with only a handful of top producers making outstanding pinots. This is one of those. The bouquet is glorious and fragrant, displaying dark cherry, game, truffle and subtle vanillin oak characters. It's succulent and beautifully weighted on the palate with velvety texture and supple tannins, finishing superbly long and seamless. At its best: now to 2018."
Terra Sancta Slapjack Block Pinot Noir 2010 [Newly released, November 2010]
Sam Kim Wine Orbit Review: 97/100 "This is a wine of great presence. The bouquet is complex and engaging with dark cherry, plum, game and vanillin oak characters. It's concentrated and powerful on the palate, yet remains elegant and poised, leading to an exceptionally long silky finish. A total seduction. At its best: 2014 to 2022. "
Terra Sancta Jackson's Block Pinot Noir 2010
Cuisine Magazine, December 2012 "The label is rich and mysterious, as is this fabulous pinot, where dense fruit is set against a superb, much-admired structure".
Sam Kim Wine Orbit Review: 96/100 "The bouquet is gloriously perfumed with red/black cherry, blueberry, game, floral and subtle vanillin oak characters. It's succulent and sumptuous on the palate with outstanding mid palate weight and velvety texture, finishing impressively long and silky. Tannins are beautifully polished and integrated. At its best: 2014 to 2020."
Mysterious Diggings Central Otago Pinot Noir 2011
Michael Cooper "Wine of the Week"- Listener, 27 October 2012
"This is a great buy. A wine of substance, it is deeply coloured, with ripe cherry, plum and dried herb flavours, showing some complexity, and a rich, smooth finish. It's already delicious."

Molly Hopkins and Cynthia Richards are like a Southern-flavored "AbFab" routine, sassing each other while fitting women for bras at their lingerie shop LiviRae in Kennesaw.
They truly love each other as friends and Lifetime hopes that bond will draw viewers in with a show that evokes a bit of both "Say Yes to the Dress" and "Pawn Stars." It debuts in sneak-preview form tonight at 10:30 p.m., then starts in its regular time slot at 10 p.m. on Thursday, January 10 after "Project Runway: All Stars." The network will air 14 episodes for the first season.
Each episode focuses on the women solving customer's image issues. In one sample episode I viewed, Cynthia creates customized bras for a North Carolina woman with gargantuan breasts, even bigger than they've ever seen before. In another, they visit a Decatur church and fit bras for a gospel choir that help reduce the amount of "bouncing" on the dais as they sing.
"They're so willing to let you see their human side and their vulnerable side," said show runner Kathleen Blake. "They let the walls down. They don't have a lot of filters. They'll tell you what they're thinking."
Cheerful Molly has a knack for identifying women's bra sizes without a tape measure and will often comment to strangers if they are wearing ill-fitting bras.
"I've probably seen more boobs than Hugh Hefner," she cracked on the show.
But remember: this show is on Lifetime, not Spike. So while the cameras spend a lot of time with women wearing lingerie and Molly uses the word "boobs" every five seconds, the show is not lascivious or racy.
"We change people's lives every single day," Molly said. "You can change the way someone feels about themselves. Comedy works. They may have had too much holiday turkey. Letting them know they're not alone helps."
Molly's the business-minded busty brunette from Canton. Cynthia is the creative, hyperactive blond from Marietta. Both possess syrupy Georgia accents.
"I'm left brain, she's left brain," Molly said. "We're both great salespeople. We may go in different directions but we get to the same spot. It's symmetry."
Cynthia, who Molly calls a "mad inventor," loves to create new types of lingerie in her sewing room, which is packed with clothing, fabric and experiments. "I'm a bit of a hoarder," Cynthia admits. "I can't throw anything away if I feel I can use it. I make corsets, chaps, you name it."
She marvels that the cameras are all over the place "to watch me and Molly talk about stupid stuff. We come up with rap songs. We think we're funny. We don't think about it. That's who we are. We're crazy!"
The ladies met working at a high-end lingerie shop at Phipps Plaza called Intimacy. "I was bending over to pick up a panty. My Spanx were right in her face. It was love at first sight," joked Cynthia, in explaining how they became friends. They catered to the Buckhead Betty types with $150 bras but felt folks with lesser budgets and bigger bra sizes needed help, too. They also liked to work with mastectomy patients. To fill that void, they decided to open their own store.
LiviRae Lingerie debuted six years ago with start-up cash and credit cards since banks weren't keen about giving loans for a store like that. "Nobody understood the concept," Molly said. And they struggled early on to even get bra inventory because their former employer made sure her suppliers blackballed them. (That owner eventually sold to another buyer.)
Even today, with the store doing much better, "we still have to go through crazy stuff to get a loan," Cynthia said.
Their store's primary business is bras and accessories that go with it. They have 85 bra sizes with an average bra price is $68. They also mend and repair bras as a complimentary service.
They hope to eventually expand by franchising and creating mobile fit units.
Given how sensitive women are about their bodies, not all of them want to be on TV. "Our goal is not to expose and exploit," Molly said. "If they don't want to be on the show, that's fine."
Here are photographs I took last month from the store while the production company was shooting:

Following my shoulder survery I continued to suffer with pain far longer than the physical therapist thought I should. I went to LiviRae because I could not wear any bras I had due to the pain. They fitted me for a bra that I swore was too small and tight but trusted them and wore it. What a miracle! Within a week my shoulder pain was almost gone in and out of my bra. Love you guys!

I love this store – I've been shopping here for 2+ years since going here looking for undergarments for my wedding. I absolutely love the girls that work there – they make you feel so good about yourself even when you have a little extra weight. Unfortunately, the Sneak Peek Episode on Lifetime (The Gift of Lift) makes me rage at Lauren. I've never seen her in the store and couldn't image getting fitted by her. If it wasn't for knowing how wonderful the store actually is, I wouldn't want to go there with her comment about "everyone deserves lingerie, but sometimes your like…ewww…gross". It's hard to feel good about yourself when you a salesperson is judging you.

as a transgendered woman needing help for better fitting corsets and bras i went to these ladies and was treated like just another gal. had a blast and they truly know there stuff. caring, fun and always in the know. these ladies rock. i totally need to come in soon for some new items.

THIS PLACE I DEF RECOMEND ESP FOR fittings bc lane bryant were i usually go didnt size me prop either did victoria secret!!!

I'm surprised this place is still in business because when I purchased a bra several years ago, they knew nothing about alterations. As I had shopped at Intimacy first and Neiman's, I knew how a bra should fit and that the breast bone of the wired bra has to be flush to separate "the girls". They altered my bra by sewing the two cups together in the middle so there was no separation and you were left with tremendous and necessary cleavage. Cynthia refused to give me my money back and argued with me for quite sometime. In the end, she gave me my refund but not before telling me that she never wanted to see me in her store again. As if ! How this is passing for entertainment says a lot about America these days. It's degrading to women.
January 7th, 2013
3:32 pm
I'm really shocked this is even a show! I tried to watch it, but felt my IQ dropping drastically! All we need is more shallow women seeking fame. This has to be a joke! Why would anyone watch this mess? Worst acting ever!!! Get off TV!
January 7th, 2013
4:32 pm
Everyone should do some research before they start ordering their products! Their BBB rating is an F! I'm surprised this store is still open! I went there over a year ago and got the worst service. Cynthia was extremely rude! All they wanted was my money! That's all these women are about!

OBJECTIVE: Controversy about the formulation of the insanity defense has
been intense, but little empirical work is available regarding how
different standards affect court findings. The major aims of the present
study were to determine if different standards for determining insanity
produced different judgments and to provide a broad descriptive picture of
those cases in which the standards appeared to make a difference. METHOD:
Four forensic psychiatrists were asked to indicate whether they thought 164
defendants met any or all of four insanity tests: 1) the American Law
Institute (ALI) cognitive criterion, 2) the ALI volitional criterion, 3)
the APA test, and 4) the M'Naghten rule. RESULTS: The four psychiatrists
determined that 97.5% of the defendants met the ALI volitional criterion,
73.9% met the APA criterion, 70.3% met the M'Naghten rule, and 69.5% met
the ALI cognitive criterion. Nearly two-thirds of the defendants met all
four insanity tests, and 24.4% met only the ALI volitional test. Few
defendants met cognitive tests without also meeting the ALI volitional
test. Elimination of the volitional test for insanity reduced the rate of
psychiatric recommendations of acquittal by 24.4%. CONCLUSIONS: These
findings highlight the fact that the primary logical division between
volitional and cognitive standards appears to be powerful but that
distinctions between types of cognitive standards are not terribly
powerful. In addition, the variation among individual raters must be viewed
as an important determinant of how any insanity standard is applied.

The Blue Jays are facing an interesting conundrum. With a 45-49 record at the all-star break and only a minimal chance of making the post-season, should they trade for immediate help in the rotation (their biggest need)? Should they be sellers? Should they promote from within?
The hottest rumour over the weekend, from Bruce Levine of ESPN Chicago, had the Blue Jays and Texas being the front runners in a trade with the Cubs for right hander Matt Garza, who's slated to become a free agent after this season.
Garza has pitched extremely well since returning from an elbow operation, racking up a 6-1 record and taking the Cubs deep into ball games every start.
He's making $10.25 million this season, and the Cubs are balking at giving him the kind of raise he is looking for. Garza's career record is only 63-62 and just 21-18 in two-a-half injury marred seasons with the Cubbies since coming over in a 2011 deal with Tampa Bay.
Consider what the Cubbies had to give up to get him from Tampa Bay - a five-for-two deal, with the Cubs giving up right hander Chris Archer, catcher Roinbson Chirinos, outfielder Brandon Guyer, shortstop Hak-Ju Lee and utility outfielder Sam Fuld.
Archer alone makes that deal worth it for the Rays. He pitched his first career shutout on Sunday, striking out eight and blanking Houston 5-0 to bump his record to 4-3 and reduce the 24 year old's ERA to 2.96. Sam Fuld has turned into a valuable role players with the Rays as well.
The Cubs know they aren't going to get five players back for Garza, especially with free agency looming, but they're not going to give him away either. Texas has a deeper farm system than the Blue Jays at the moment and Boston and Cleveland could be in the bidding as well, so Garza to the Jays looks like a bit of a long shot.
This is where Ricky Romero enters the picture again. If the Blue Jays consider themselves out of the post-season picture, might they give Ricky another shot at reclaiming his spot in the rotation?
Sunday at Buffalo, Romero had his most dominant start yet at Triple A. He went eight innings in a 7-1 victory over the Yankees' Scranton/Wilkes Barre Railriders farm club. He gave up just one run on four hits and struck out four. Romero had command of his fastball and threw 62 strikes. Romero is only 2-3 with the Bisons but has thrown four quality starts in a row and six of his last seven.
Romero still has that very payroll-friendly contract as well. He gets $7.5 million in 2014 and again in 2015, when he will be 30 years old. In 2016, the final year of the deal, he's due to make $13.1 million but the Blue Jays hold a $600,000 buyout option on that year. So, the Jays could give Romero another shot after the all-star break or try to interest other teams in dealing for him.
The Jays' other option is to basically stand pat since Brandon Morrow and J.A Happ could be back within a month and Drew Hutchison and Kyle Drabek appear to be on the horizon as well, along with Luis Perez for the bullpen.
This much I know; the Blue Jays won't concede they're out of the post-season chase until the end of their 10 game home stand against the Rays, Dodgers and Astros coming out of the all-star break. That takes them to July 28, just three days before the non-waiver trade deadline at 4:00 PM Eastern on that Wednesday afternoon. If you think the Blue Jays have a tough decision with Romero, consider the Giants and Tim Lincecum. The man only enhanced his heroic and legendary status in San Francisco by no-hitting the Padres over the weekend, the first no-no of his career. But the 29-year-old Lincecum is only 5-9 on the season and over the last three years his cumulative record over the past three seasons is only 28-38. He's also making $22 million this season and is a free agent after this year.
Lincecum's career accomplishments are hard to deny. Back to back Cy Young Awards in 2009 and 2010 and World Series titles in two of the last three years, and now a no-hitter. He's got the foundation of a Hall of Fame career with an 84-65 record but the Giants, who actually have a worse record than the Blue Jays at 43-51, have to be wondering if it's time to move Lincecum and start building for the future. Lincecum's name could be one of the most intriguing on the open market as trade deadline day approaches.

Seriously SteelSeries? This is how you are going to play this? I know I have complained about your branding and pricing of this controller in the past but this is just getting fucking ridiculous. Calling it the "Free" is one thing, but then using the phrase "Free to Play" is taking one step further.
It is like the people in charge at SteelSeries decided that they just wanted to fuck with people as much as possible. The entire advertising campaign around this fucking controller is FREE FREE FREE FREE FREE. And then you slap everybody in the face with the insanely fucking overpriced $80.
Don't get me wrong, it is a neat device, and there might actually be a few people out there that would actually use it to play shitty tablet games with. But, at this point, I hope this product fails miserably so you can learn a fucking lesson. You are getting greedy as fuck with this and you deserve to lose all the money you spent in R&D and advertising this damned thing.
I like you, SteelSeries, but I don't know what the fuck you have been doing for the last year.

I still ask people to do it. Luckily, most people that come to visit have brains in their heads and do it without being asked. Others, such as my SIL and her kids, still have to be asked. And they are ignorant enough to say "I don't have to wash my hands, they are clean!" when we do ask them. Really? Because I'm pretty sure I just saw you smoking a cig outside and shoving your hands in the filthy snow. Ugh.
Anyway, I think it is perfectly fine to ask people to wash up. Your baby, your house, your rules.
OhSewCrafty:Until you can assume that they're washing them regularly on their own (ie after using the bathroom). I don't have a problem asking people to wash their hands and C is almost 4 months old. It's flu season and most people just don't have good hand hygiene!
Everyone that is around LO on the regular is accustomed to washing their hands before they touch him. I was vigilant at first, but now they do it on their own. People are nasty, so keep telling visitors to wash if you have to.

As we enter the final week of the NHL regular season, the Vancouver Canucks remain in top spot in the TSN.ca NHL Power Rankings.
Before the final week of the season, it's a good time to look back and see where teams were ranked in TSN.ca's 30 Teams in 30 Days preview and what has happened to reach the ranking they have now.
It's important to note that the pre-season rankings are not predictions, because they are based on current value of the team, with the understanding that there will be factors throughout the season (trades, injuries, unexpected performances -- both good and bad -- that affect results).
Taking a look back at the preseason rankings for each team, here are some of the reasons for differences in rankings between then and now.
ANAHEIM DUCKSPre-Season Rank: 17Current Rank: 8Average Rank: 14.88What's the Difference?: The glaring concern with the Ducks in September was a defence corps that wasn't nearly playoff calibre, but with a strong season from rookie Cam Fowler and a trade for Francois Beauchemin, that concern has been alleviated. Strong seasons from G Jonas Hiller (and now Ray Emery), RW Corey Perry and D Lubomir Visnovsky have all helped the Ducks finish higher than their projection.
ATLANTA THRASHERSPre-Season Rank: 26Current Rank: 23Average Rank: 16.56What's the Difference?: Unexpected production from their Chicago contingent -- LW Andrew Ladd and D Dustin Byfuglien, most notably -- helped the Thrashers to a lofty early-season ranking, but the results haven't been nearly as kind in the second half of the season, leaving the Thrashers only a little bit ahead of pre-season expectations.
BOSTON BRUINSPre-Season Rank: 10Current Rank: 2Average Rank: 3.92What's the Difference?: Tim Thomas' historically great season in net sure helps, as does a breakthrough year for LW Milan Lucic, a strong showing for rookie LW Brad Marchand and the defence was upgraded with the acquisition of Tomas Kaberle from Toronto.
BUFFALO SABRESPre-Season Rank: 9Current Rank: 16Average Rank: 22.76What's the Difference?: Ryan Miller has gone from outstanding in 2009-2010 to above average this season, an injury to top scorer C Derek Roy, combined with an underachieving season from C Tim Connolly had the Sabres battling for playoff position for much of the year. A strong finish, led by unheralded types like D Andrej Sekera and LW Nathan Gerbe, along with a breakout season for RW Drew Stafford has lifted the Sabres to their highest ranking after spending most of the last five months ranked in the 20s.
CALGARY FLAMESPre-Season Rank: 22Current Rank: 18Average Rank: 20.72What's the Difference?: A tad pessimistic on the Flames, though it actually looked optimistic before their bizarre turnaround after changing general managers. The contributions of LW Alex Tanguay, C Brendan Morrison and LW Curtis Glencross were the most notable to be beyond expectations, but RW Tim Jackman, D Cory Sarich and RW/C David Moss would qualify as well.
CAROLINA HURRICANESPre-Season Rank: 23Current Rank: 20Average Rank: 19.64What's the Difference?: The Hurricanes are slightly better than expected, thanks in large measure to rookie RW Jeff Skinner; a bounceback season from veteran winger Erik Cole has helped too.
CHICAGO BLACKHAWKSPre-Season Rank: 3Current Rank: 5Average Rank: 7.44What's the Difference?: It's been a tough season for the defending champs, with injuries to RW Marian Hossa and D Brian Campbell making for an uphill battle early in the season, but even though their place in the standings is eighth in the Western Conference, Chicago still has the third-best goal differential in the conference (+32). On one hand, a down season for defending Norris Trophy D Duncan Keith hurts, but strong play from Calder Candidate G Corey Crawford and LW Bryan Bickell has helped the Hawks remain ranked higher than their place in the standings.
COLORADO AVALANCHEPre-Season Rank: 18Current Rank: 29Average Rank: 20.08What's the Difference?: Early in the year, it seemed reasonable to have the young Avalanche fighting for a playoff spot, but a number of injuries along with subpar goaltending from last year's saviour, Craig Anderson, sent the Avalanche season spinning out of control and they've been locked into the 25-30 range for the last two months.
COLUMBUS BLUE JACKETSPre-Season Rank: 28Current Rank: 24Average Rank: 20.60What's the Difference?: Competitive early, but eventually faded down the stretch, to produce a familiar result. Perhaps a little better than forecasted, thanks to contributions of journeyman C Derek MacKenzie (+15 in 60 GP) and rookies LW Matt Calvert (11 goals in 39 GP) and D Grant Clitsome (18 points in 28 GP).
DALLAS STARSPre-Season Rank: 21Current Rank: 15Average Rank: 12.44What's the Difference?: While strong goaltending from Kari Lehtonen wasn't a complete shock, it's surprising that he's played 65 games, allowing him to have a more significant impact on the Stars' fortunes. As expected, the top forwards have been producted -- LW Jamie Benn's breakthrough has helped the Stars' elevate their ranking -- even if they are unlikely to secure a playoff spot.
DETROIT RED WINGSPre-Season Rank: 4Current Rank: 3Average Rank: 2.88What's the Difference?: Not a lot of difference; they were expected to be good and they've been good. G Jimmy Howard hasn't performed as well as expected, but he's been better over the last couple of months.
EDMONTON OILERSPre-Season Rank: 30Current Rank: 30Average Rank: 27.84What's the Difference?: While the Oilers have no shortage of exciting and promising rookies, subpar defence and goaltending were concerns going into the season and remain concerns now, only now the Oilers have been hit by a brutal run of injuries to significant forwards, leaving RW Jordan Eberle as the only active Oiler with at least 35 points this season.
FLORIDA PANTHERSPre-Season Rank: 27Current Rank: 27Average Rank: 21.96What's the Difference?: The Panthers were exceeding expectations, at least by a little bit for a little while, with good goaltending, but once the deadline came and went and Florida had shipped out defencemen Bryan Allen, Bryan McCabe and Dennis Wideman, along with veteran LW Cory Stillman (along with an earlier deal of underachieiving RW Michael Frolik) and it's no surprise that the Panthers are, once again, at the low end of the rankings spectrum.
LOS ANGELES KINGSPre-Season Rank: 5Current Rank: 14Average Rank: 7.52What's the Difference?: Maybe Drew Doughty isn't quite having the kind of dominant season that was anticipated, but the Kings have been a Top 10 team for the vast majority of the season (even when outside the playoffs a few months ago), but the loss of their top two scorers, C Anze Kopitar and RW Justin Williams, resulted in a sizeable drop last week.
MINNESOTA WILDPre-Season Rank: 25Current Rank: 26Average Rank: 18.48What's the Difference?: The end result isn't far off the beginning, as the posities and minuses tended to cancel each other out. LW Pierre-Marc Bouchard returns from missing more than a year with post-concussion symptoms, but LW Guillaume Latendresse plays a total of 11 games. D Brent Burns stays healthy, playing 77 games; D Marek Zidlicky does not, playing 46. Even surprises like RW Cal Clutterbuck (19 goals) and C Kyle Brodziak (16 goals, 36 points) were countered by an injury to the team's best player, C Mikko Koivu and, currently, to top scorer RW Martin Havlat.
MONTREAL CANADIENSPre-Season Rank: 15Current Rank: 13Average Rank: 11.00What's the Difference?: Carey Price's emergence, or re-emergence, as a premier goaltender has helped cover for a lot of ills, including an injury-depleted defence. LW Max Pacioretty provided a jolt for a largely underperforming group of forwards, most notably C Scott Gomez (37 points, -14), but Habs have also been helped by the addition of D James Wisniewski and call-up C David Desharnais.
NASHVILLE PREDATORSPre-Season Rank: 19Current Rank: 7Average Rank: 14.20What's the Difference?: G Pekka Rinne was good in his first two seasons, but he's been undeniably great this year and will likely be a Vezina finalist. LW Sergei Kostitsyn and C David Legwand have been more productive than might have been expected, and the addition of C Mike Fisher doesn't hurt, the Predators have manufactured just enough offence.
NEW JERSEY DEVILSPre-Season Rank: 6Current Rank: 21Average Rank: 25.36What's the Difference?: It's fair to say the Devils might have expected more than 29 goals and 56 points from LW Ilya Kovalchuk, but the early season was a total mess before they brought Jacques Lemaire back behind the bench. Losing Zach Parise for 64 games, due to a knee injury and underwhelming seasons from most on the roster made the Devils' 2010-11 season as surprising as the Colorado Avalanche or Phoenix Coyotes in 2009-2010.
NEW YORK ISLANDERS Pre-Season Rank: 29Current Rank: 25Average Rank: 25.00What's the Difference?: Going into the season, the Islanders' goaltending was a major issue and their defence, without Mark Streit, was a problem. The goaltending concern was valid, though Al Montoya has been a strong addition, and the defence was heading in the right direction thanks to Andrew MacDonald and Travis Hamonic, at least until MacDonald got hurt. Up front, P.A. Parenteau had a late-blooming season for the ages and Michael Grabner was a pretty sweet waiver pick-up.
NEW YORK RANGERS Pre-Season Rank: 16Current Rank: 9Average Rank: 12.24What's the Difference?: While the Rangers are still battling for a playoff spot, they are ranked higher than that due to some significant injuries earlier in the season, including right wingers Marian Gaborik and Ryan Callahan, who have both missed 20 games, and LW Vaclav Prospal, who missed 53. LW Alexander Frolov was a disappointment, but there have been some pleasant surprises, including C Brian Boyle (21 goals), and rookies C Derek Stepan, D Ryan McDonagh and D Michael Sauer.
OTTAWA SENATORSPre-Season Rank: 14Current Rank: 28Average Rank: 27.08What's the Difference?: Disappointment? Let me count the ways. C Jason Spezza missing 20 games, RW Daniel Alfredsson missing 25, D Sergei Gonchar flopping in the first half (-28 in first 39 games), terrible goaltending from Brian Elliott and Pascal Leclaire, rough seasons for D Filip Kuba (-27) and Chris Phillips (-35) and then gutting the roster with trades of RW Alex Kovalev, C Mike Fisher, C Chris Kelly, LW Jarkko Ruutu and D Chris Campoli. Sadly, as poorly as the veterans were playing, the Sens are at least as good now, with call-ups like Colin Greening, Erik Condra and Bobby Butler getting a chance. Oh, and LW Peter Regin (three goals), much more was expected of you too.
PHILADELPHIA FLYERSPre-Season Rank: 11Current Rank: 6Average Rank: 6.96What's the Difference?: That the Flyers have good scoring depth is hardly a surprise, so the real difference in their favour this year has been the play of rookie G Sergei Bobrovsky, who has performed better than I expected out of Michael Leighton.
PHOENIX COYOTESPre-Season Rank: 8Current Rank: 10Average Rank: 15.16What's the Difference?: Their pre-season ranking ruffled feathers (trust me), but I was banking on their shutdown defensive style, which didn't appear for a while, but G Ilya Bryzgalov has improved as the season has progressed and the defence was upgraded with the additions of veterans Michal Rozsival, Rostislav Klesla and the general brilliance of rising star Keith Yandle. It's still fair to question their goal-scoring, but getting 18 from Lauri Korpikoski and 17 from Taylor Pyatt exceeded expectations too.
PITTSBURGH PENGUINSPre-Season Rank: 13Current Rank: 12Average Rank: 9.12What's the Difference?: Easily the most contention pre-season ranking and the Penguins reached No. 2 overall before injuries got the best of them. So, while their current value is not that different from their preseason ranking (which was accounting for Jordan Staal's absence), a big season for the Penguins' exceeding expectations was a strong year from G Marc-Andre Fleury, whose .918 save percentage is his best since 2007-2008. Of course, C Sidney Crosby (66 points, +20 in 41 GP) was having the best season of his illustrious career before his concussion cost him more than three months.
ST. LOUIS BLUESPre-Season Rank: 12Current Rank: 19Average Rank: 18.20What's the Difference?: Getting a .908 save percentage from G Jaroslav Halak (.924 in Montreal in 2009-2010) hasn't helped any, but the season went awry early, as injuries piled up among the top six forwards. LW David Perron, RW T.J. Oshie and LW Andy McDonald have all missed significant time and, like most teams, the Blues couldn't handle the loss of three top six forwards. On the up side, RW Matt D'Agostini and D Alex Pietrangelo have been strong and the additions from Colorado -- RW Chris Stewart and D Kevin Shattenkirk -- have been effective too.
SAN JOSE SHARKSPre-Season Rank: 7Current Rank: 4Average Rank: 11.20What's the Difference?: Early in the year, the Sharks weren't getting the goaltending from their tandem of Antti Niemi and Antero Niittymaki, but Niemi has taken the job and run with it. Even though the Sharks' big guns, most notably C Joe Thornton and RW Dany Heatley, haven't been as productive as expected, that has been offset by the emergence of rookie C Logan Couture and strong years from LW Ryane Clowe and RW Joe Pavelski. Defence was a question mark, after the retirement of Rob Blake, but seems to be more stable since the trade for Ian White.
TAMPA BAY LIGHTNINGPre-Season Rank: 20Current Rank: 17Average Rank: 15.08What's the Difference?: After disastrous goaltending early in the year from Dan Ellis and Mike Smith, Dwayne Roloson has tightened up that part of the game and the Lightning have been better than anticipated largely because of depth players, because C Vincent Lecavalier, LW Simon Gagne, LW Ryan Malone and RW Steve Downie have all missed time with injuries and, for the most part, haven't scored as much as hoped. On the other hand, RW Teddy Purcell (48 pooints), Nate Thompson and Sean Bergenheim have been more significant contributors than might have been expected.
TORONTO MAPLE LEAFSPre-Season Rank: 24Current Rank: 22Average Rank: 22.08What's the Difference?: There have been several overachievers among the Maple Leafs this year -- most notably the line of LW Clarke MacArthur, C Mikhail Grabovski and RW Nikolia Kulemin -- and the arrival of G James Reimer (and his .922 save percentage) has given the team a much more competitive outlook, but early struggles forced the hand of GM Brian Burke, and he also had to deal capable veterans like D Tomas Kaberle, LW Kris Versteeg and D Francois Beauchemin.
VANCOUVER CANUCKSPre-Season Rank: 2Current Rank: 1Average Rank: 3.44What's the Difference?: That the Canucks have held the number one spot as much as they have this season is a credit to their depth because they have gone through a lot -- A LOT -- of injuries on the blueline. Alexander Edler, Kevin Bieksa, Dan Hamhuis, Sami Salo, Keith Ballard, Andrew Alberts and Aaron Rome have all missed at least 15 games, leaving Christian Ehrhoff as the only one to play close to a full schedule. Great years from goaltenders Roberto Luongo and Cory Schneider has helped cover those deficiencies on the back end.
WASHINGTON CAPITALSPre-Season Rank: 1Current Rank: 11Average Rank: 9.16What's the Difference?: Last year's scoring juggernaut is no more, it seems, and even with LW Alexander Ovechkin's second-half surge, C Nicklas Backstrom and RW Alexander Semin haven't been nearly as productive as they were in 2009-2010 and injuries have decimated the defence, as Mike Green and Tom Poti have missed large chunks of the season and newcomer Dennis Wideman has joined them on the shelf. The goaltending hasn't been bad, but best of luck guessing which one will be starting from one week to the next.

A Century Ago: The Films of 1909 – The Stars are Born (Bay Area)
Featuring live musical accompaniment by Michael Mortilla.
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences in association with the California Film Institute celebrated the year 1909 and its developmental contributions to motion pictures with a program of selected films in "A Century Ago: The Films of 1909" at the San Rafael Film Center. The program spotlighted the public's earliest recognition and preference for screen actors, which would force film distributors to identify them, quickly evolving into the "star system" of motion picture advertising.
"A Century Ago: The Films of 1909" highlights include D.W. Griffith's landmark social film "A Corner in Wheat" which illustrates his continued development of parallel cutting, Vitagraph's trick film "Princess Nicotine" containing state-of-the-art visual effects of the time, Essanay's "A Case of Seltzer" featuring comic actor Ben Turpin, Pathé's comedic "Love's Surprise" starring Max Linder, Essanay's "The Ranchman's Rival" starring "Broncho Billy" Anderson, Biograph's "They Would Elope" featuring Mary Pickford in one of her earliest film roles, and the newly formed IMP Company's "Hiawatha" among others. Most prints were in 35mm and were drawn from the collections of the Academy Film Archive, the Library of Congress, George Eastman House, and the UCLA Film & Television Archive.

Creighton now officially a member of the Big East
OMAHA, Neb. -- Creighton University officially became a member of the BIG EAST Conference at 12:01 a.m. on Monday, July 1, 2013.
Creighton and fellow newcomers Butler and Xavier join a BIG EAST that retains DePaul, Georgetown, Marquette, Providence, Seton Hall, St. John's and Villanova. The partnership was announced on March 20, 2013 in New York.
The 2013-14 academic year will be the 35th in the history of the BIG EAST, a league synonymous with men's basketball that has evolved into a well-rounded league that competes nationally at the highest level in sports across the board. BIG EAST basketball squads have captured 13 titles in the last 14 years, including men's (Louisville) and women's (Connecticut) hoop titles in 2012-13.
Since opening its doors in 1979, the league has won 34 national championships in six different sports and 139 student-athletes have won individual national titles through 2012-13.
All 10 schools reside within a top-75 media market, including eight schools in a top-35 market.
The BIG EAST became a reality on May 31, 1979, following a meeting of athletic directors from Providence College, St. John's, Georgetown and Syracuse universities. Seton Hall, Connecticut and Boston College completed the original seven school alliance.

It can be shocking and upsetting to learn that your child has gotten in trouble for picking on others or been labeled a bully.
As difficult as it may be to process this news, it's important to deal with it right away. Whether the bullying is physical or verbal, if it's not stopped it can lead to more aggressive antisocial behavior and interfere with your child's success in school and ability to form and sustain friendships.
Kids bully for many reasons. Some bully because they feel insecure. Picking on someone who seems emotionally or physically weaker provides a feeling of being more important, popular, or in control. In other cases,kids bully because they simply don't know that it's unacceptable to pick on kids who are different because of size, looks, race, or religion.
In some cases bullying is a part of an ongoing pattern of defiant or aggressive behavior. These kids are likely to need help learning to manage anger and hurt, frustration, or other strong emotions. They may not have the skills they need to cooperate with others. Professional counseling can often help them learn to deal with their feelings, curb their bullying, and improve their social skills.
Some kids who bully at school and in settings with their peers are copying behavior that they see at home. Kids who are exposed to aggressive and unkind interactions in the family often learn to treat others the same way. And kids who are on the receiving end of taunting learn that bullying can translate into control over children they perceive as weak.
Let your child know that bullying is unacceptable and that there will be serious consequences at home, school, and in the community if it continues.
Try to understand the reasons behind your child's behavior. In some cases, kids bully because they have trouble managing strong emotions like anger, frustration, or insecurity. In other cases, kids haven't learned cooperative ways to work out conflicts and understand differences.
Be sure to:
When looking for the influences on your child's behavior, look first at what's happening at home. Kids who live with yelling, name-calling, putdowns, harsh criticism, or physical anger from a sibling or parent/caregiver may act that out in other settings.
It's natural — and common — for kids to fight with their siblings at home. And unless there's a risk of physical violence it's wise not to get involved. But monitor the name-calling and any physical altercations and be sure to talk to each child regularly about what's acceptable and what's not.
It's important to keep your own behavior in check too. Watch how you talk to your kids, and how you react to your own strong emotions when they're around. There will be situations that warrant discipline and constructive criticism. But take care not to let that slip into name-calling and accusations. If you're not pleased with your child's behavior, stress that it's the behavior that you'd like your child to change, and you have confidence that he or she can do it.
If your family is going through a stressful life event that you feel may have contributed to your child's behavior, reach out for help from the resources at school and in your community. Guidance counselors, pastors, therapists, and your doctor can help.
To help a child stop bullying, talk with teachers, guidance counselors, and other school officials who can help you identify situations that lead to bullying and provide assistance.
Your doctor also might be able to help. If your child has a history of arguing, defiance, and trouble controlling anger, consider an evaluation with a therapist or behavioral health professional.
As difficult and frustrating as it can be to help kids stop bullying, remember that bad behavior won't just stop on its own. Think about the success and happiness you want your kids to find in school, work, and relationships throughout life, and know that curbing bullying now is progress toward those goals.

Topic - UKC Fit Club 303
grubes - on 06 Jan 2013
Welcome all I will be doing this for the next month of so.
So 2013 has started with a dry day (if any of you were awake ;) ) and a dry saturday
From twitter, last weeks post and log book stalking well done to:
Ally Smith with an amazing start to the week
JimmyKay for having an amazing trip
Kev pushing his grade
This week is a good opportunity to reconsider your goals for the new year.
UKC Fit Club is not a substitute for the training diary but to use with ( or without ) it as a motivational tool for all.
For those wanting to find out more about training for climbing a number of physical training articles here:
A new thread is posted each week on Sunday for anyone to jot down their previous week's activity, noting goals, successes and failures and to swap ideas.
Anyone interested in starting is very welcome but you should aim to post each week, every week, however little or much you have done. By making such a regular public record of your activities and by restating your goals every week this new habit will hopefully improve your training habits to help achieve your goals whatever the level of your chosen activity.
Link to last week's (300) thread:

Where do we stand on on WikiLeaks?
To what extent should we support or oppose WikiLeaks?
Are there limits to what should be exposed to the public by investigators? And who should decide these limits?
When corruption is exposed through leaks how far up or down the ladder should we assign responsibility?
How should bias in reporting leaks be balanced?
If these leaks are produced for corrupt purposes how do we deal with it?
How can we present and prosecute exposed corruption in the public theater without it turning into a witch-hunt?
Closing Statement from Daniel Sheehan
A great deal of this conversation has been on whether our governments have a right to keep secrets from us. Many have pointed out corruptions that the secrets have protected, others site our loss of privacy at the hands of our governments.
Also many insist that transparency is protection from the abuses of authority by the people that we place our most sensitive information with, but few agree that "total transparency" can be achieved or as an over all goal is appropriate.
But it is clear that we believe that whistle blowers should be protected from retaliation.
I believe that we have an increasing problem with the "Free Press" which has become more of a commercialized or biased press that is more concerned with profits or has fallen to the hands of specialized interests, and is enthralled by the depthless mirrored image of spectacle. What had once been an instrument of information now serves mainly to incite and titillate the masses.
It's my opinion that WikiLeaks, and sites like it that supply an outlet for whistle blowers, should have our support as members of the Fourth Estate.
A grateful thank you to everyone that has participated in this discussion.

Oct 23 2012: @Rick Ryan: "Can you prove that a government can operate without secrets?"
why would i? my point, from the beginning, is that just because we want to respect humans rights to secrets, a similar right for governments don't follow. i never said governments should not have secrets, nor they should not have rights to defend them. my point was that your argument is invalid. i did not present my take on the issue yet, and i also do not intend to go sideways. first things first.
"Please read up on the Freedom of Information Act, who it applies to, and the restrictions within it that are LAW."
i'm sorry to hear that you derive your morals from laws. for me, it is the other way around. i have morals which can only be changed with convincing arguments. and laws should follow from these morals. alas, they not always do. we are not discussing here whether wikileaks complies with some law (btw it does, but it is still not the point). the question was where do we stand. referring to the government as a source of the moral rules about what the government can or can not do is as dangerous as ridiculous.
"And if you honestly believe a government is only responsible to what the people want and should disregard all morals altogether, "
a complete misunderstanding of how the system works. governments can not have morals, as they are not people. only people can have morals. members of the government have morals. voters have morals. journalists have morals. the bradley mannings have morals. but the government as an abstract organization can not have.
the rest of your reply is not in any way related to our discussion, and i will consider it a textbook case of moving goalposts. first things first. admit that humans' rights and governments' rights to privacy are totally unrelated issues. then we can move on to different questions.
Oct 25 2012: Krisztian,
I'm just totally confused by yor response.
On one hand you say, "...my point, from the beginning, is that just because we want to respect humans rights to secrets, a similar right for governments don't follow."
But then you follow up by saying, "a complete misunderstanding of how the system works. governments can not have morals, as they are not people. only people can have morals."
Followed by, "first things first. admit that humans' rights and governments' rights to privacy are totally unrelated issues."
So, evaluting your total post, I have to conclude that:
1. When I worked for the government and was responsible to keep secrets, I was a "people" who had the moral right to keep those secrets.
2. But because I worked for the government who did NOT have a moral right to keep secrets, I should just disregard and throw out the window any belief I had that it would be morally wrong to disclose those secrets, at whatever cost to the citizens of the country I was obligated to defend and protect.
Hmmm. That's puts me as a "people" in one heck of a moral dilemma.
I'm not "moving goalposts" at all. I'm addressing a valid issue faced by many of the "people" who decide to serve their country by becoming part of "the government". When anybody releases "secrets", regardless of whether it is an individual or an organization like Wikileaks, who's secrets have they released? A governments? Or the secrets guarded by the "people" who make up that government?
Oct 25 2012: "When I worked for the government and was responsible to keep secrets, I was a "people" who had the moral right to keep those secrets."
i didn't say anything of the sort. beware, nor i said its opposite.
"the government who did NOT have a moral right to keep secrets, I should just disregard and throw out the window any belief I had"
neither i said that. these do not follow from what i have said.
Oct 25 2012: OK, let me pose a question to you, because I am curious how you would answer it.
The debate about something like Wikileaks is that if it is allowed...if there are "no secrets"...then there would be no corruption. That is the premise of the people who want something like Wikileaks to be allowed.
I submit it is an invalid conclusion that corruption would be eliminated by Wikileaks posting all secrets, "just because" it created a "totally transparant" society or government.
Society...the people...can't even come to a consensus on what constitutes corruption already. As I said before, some people think all politicians are corrupt, or all people of wealth are corrupt. They think those of different faiths, or no faith at all, are corrupt. They aren't going to change their minds about corruption taking place just because they have unlimited information...no secrets.
Corruption is determined one of two ways. It is either legally defined or morally defined, and sometimes both. With 350 million people in one country, or 7 billion people on the planet, who already have vast differences of opininions about what should be legal or moral, even with no secrets there will STILL be the arguments about whether corruption is taking place or not.
So, why do you support any entity that would be allowed to publish ANYBODY'S secrets on the premise that it will stop corruption from taking place?
Heck, it wouldn't even stop the DEBATE about whether corruption was taking place.
The false premise in the reasoning of organizations (or individuals) who promote something like Wikileaks is that EVERYBODY needs to be involved...7 Billion people...in order to determine if corruption is happening. Heck, the more people you add to the decision-making process, the more likely you WON'T get a consensus on whether something is corrupt or not.
How many people would it take monitoring something to satisfy you that corruption wasn't happening? What qualities should they posess?
Oct 25 2012: i don't understand why are you asking these. i clearly explained that i'm not going to discuss anything else until we come to some conclusion about your argument.
the argument was that governments can have secrets because people can have.
i said that it does not follow. governments do not have the same rights as people do.
this line of thought seems to be completely abandoned, and now you are talking about ... i don't know what.
Oct 25 2012: And you seem to be avoiding my questions I asked which are directly related to the topic of this conversation as presented by the originator of the topic. Your stance is that people can have secrets, but governments can't. My stance (along with many recognized scholars...go read the Stanford Law Review article again) is that governments ARE the people who make up the government entity itself.
So I guess you are correct. There is no further need for you and I to discuss it.

- bleeding or blockage in your stomach or intestines;
- a perforation (hole) in your stomach or intestines;
- epilepsy or other seizure disorder; or
- an adrenal gland tumor (pheochromocytoma).

- congestive heart failure;
- high blood pressure;
- Parkinson's disease;
- diabetes (your insulin dose may need adjusting); or

FDA pregnancy category B. This medication is not expected to be harmful to an unborn baby. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant during treatment.
Metoclopramide can pass into breast milk and may harm a nursing baby. Do not use this medication without telling your doctor if you are breast-feeding a baby.
Metoclopramide should not be given to a child.
How should I take metoclopramide (Reglan)?
Take exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Metoclopramide is usually taken for only 4 to 12 weeks. Follow the directions on your prescription label.
Take metoclopramide 30 minutes before eating. Metoclopramide is usually taken before meals and at bedtime. Your doctor may want you to take the medication as needed only with meals that usually cause heartburn. Follow your doctor's instructions.
Measure the liquid medicine with a special dose-measuring spoon or cup, not a regular table spoon. If you do not have a dose-measuring device, ask your pharmacist for one.
To take metoclopramide orally disintegrating tablet (Metozolv):
- Keep the tablet in its blister pack until you are ready to take the medicine. Open the package and peel back the foil from the tablet blister. If the tablet breaks, throw it away and take out a new one.
- Using dry hands, remove the tablet and place it in your mouth. It will begin to dissolve right away. Do not swallow the tablet whole. Allow it to dissolve in your mouth without chewing.
- Swallow several times as the tablet dissolves. You do not need to drink liquid to help the tablet dissolve.
Store at room temperature away from moisture and heat. Keep the bottle tightly closed when not in use.
After you stop taking metoclopramide, you may have unpleasant withdrawal symptoms such as headache, dizziness, or nervousness. Talk to your doctor about how to avoid withdrawal symptoms when stopping the medication.

"I thought it would be an appropriate time to send you an email now that I've finished my Law Degree. I will be graduating from UCL with a First so am absolutely over the moon! I certainly didn't expect to do as well as I did, so it was a fantastic surprise. My education at JFS provided me with the foundation to be able to go on to university and achieve what I have, so I just wanted to thank you."
