When the Atlanta Thrashers take to the ice tonight in Sunrise, Florida to play one of their division rivals, it will mark the seventh time in the last eight games that they've faced off against a team with a winning record…and ninth time in the last twelve.
Yes…we are talking about the Florida Panthers here.
The Panthers have begun 2011 by scratching out a pair of wins against the New York Rangers and Carolina Hurricanes. They have won 2 straight, are 5-1-2 in their last 8 games and 8-3-2 in their last 13 games.
In doing so, they've moved their record to 18-17-2… which in the wide-wide wacky world of NHL hockey counts as a winning record since 38 overall points after 37 games played amounts to a .514 points winning percentage.
Seeing the Florida Panthers above .500 in the standings happens just about as often as a hard freeze in South Beach. It's the first time all season that the Panthers, who are last in the Southeast Division and tenth in the Eastern Conference, have poked their heads above the "break even" mark this season and it's been since last February since they could boast such a record. Back then they were 24-23-9.
The last time the Thrashers and Panthers squared off was last November 17 when Atlanta kicked off a six game home stand. Florida won by a whisker that night by the score of 2-1. It lifted them to an 8-8-0 mark at the time…and left Atlanta at 7-9-3 and losers of 3 straight.
From what I have been told, during the second intermission of that game, there were a number of players in the home locker room that joined the coaching staff in making it very clear what they thought of the effort coming forth from a select few. They were upset because a 1-0 first period lead had slipped away during the second period…a period in which they allowed 16 shots on goal and saw the visiting Panthers spend so much time in the Thrashers defensive zone that they could have filed for Homestead Exemption.
Players were denied ice time in the third period and over the next several weeks, a couple of those players that found their way in the dog house…cough…Nic Bergfors… cough…Ben Eager…saw their time in the press box increase.
The next day, Andrew Ladd was named team captain and the Thrashers have played to a 14-6-3 record ever since.
Stephen Weiss leads the Panthers with 12 goals scored on the season. He has five in the past eight games alone. Michael Frolik's 25 overall points, (8 goals, 17 assists), is tops on the Florida roster.
Tomas Vokoun, who stopped 38 of 39 Thrashers shots in their November 17 win, is now 15-13-1 with a .926 SV% and 2.43 GAA. Last Sunday he pounced on all 32 shots faced against the Rangers for his fifth shutout of the season.
Florida's anemic 9.4% effective power play is dead last in the NHL but they boast the 8th best PK unit, killing off 84.0% of their opponent's man advantage situations.
As I'm sure you already know, Dustin Byfuglien leads the Thrashers with 16 goals and 41 points. He has six power play tallies and six game-winners, including the blast in overtime that beat the Canadiens up in Montreal Sunday afternoon.
In dishing out a trio of helpers Sunday, Toby Enstrom has taken over the lead in assists with 27.
In between the pipes will be Ondrej Pavelec. Opie is 14-8-4 with a .936 SV%, 2.14 GAA and a pair of goose eggs laid up on the scoreboard. A win in south Florida tonight would set an all-time mark for wins in a season for Pavelec.
Friday night, the Thrashers will return home to play the Toronto Maple Leafs. It'll be the first of only five home games in the month of January, so there won't be a lot of opportunities to head down to Philips to see a game over the next few weeks.
However, there are some good deals to be had on what home dates there are and you can take advantage of them by clicking –>HERE<– and using promo code RAWHIDE.
Also, the Thrashers have made available to readers of this little online forum a special offer on tickets for next Friday's game against the Philadelphia Flyers. For just $31 dollars you can procure a seat in section 205 to watch take on one of the top teams in the conference. Those seats would normally go for $57.
But there is a very limited supply available at that price and they'll go on a first-come, first-served basis. So if you're interested in joining me and some of my friends there, contact Karin Beckman at 404-878-3781 or e-mail her at email@example.com.
Just ask her for Rawhide's POMPOM ticket offer.

Last night's timely shutout by Roloson in his first game for the Lightning, was just the 14th shutout for Tampa Bay in their last 368 games. They have three already this year but haven't had at least four in any season since 2005-06.

Red Light-always been a Beauchemin fan. I am sure we wants out of the Tronna nuthouse anyhow. Loafs will have alotta cap space, but who wants to go play there? Kaberle surely wants out of the nightmare he has had to deal with the past 2 seasons. Burke should have dumped Kabs when he had at least 1 year left on his current deal. Kaberle is just a rental now.

What is the significance of placing Eager on IR versus just a scratch? It effectively does the same thing no? Same question on Antropov last week. He missed a couple of games, was placed on IR, then suddenly was in the lineup off IR?
Since we don't have salary cap issues, is it just an opportunity to bring up someone from Chicago to have more available bodies?
January 5th, 2011
11:26 am
"Seeing the Florida Panthers above .500 in the standings is about rare as spotting cats in the ally behind a Chinese restaurant."
Thrashers need a big game tonight. This Panthers team is OK, but not great. Can not allow 50 SOG like in Montreal or we are gonna just wear Opie out!
January 5th, 2011
11:26 am
"Since we don't have salary cap issues, is it just an opportunity to bring up someone from Chicago to have more available bodies?"
TT: In short, the answer is yes. Guys on IR don't count against the 23-man active roster, so if they want to recall someone from Chicago they can, and then you can healthy scratch 3 others. Slater is day-to-day, so he's a scratch candidate, as is Meyer. So, I think they can recall Stapleton or someone else if they want.

Per C-Viv, no call-up expected, but he didn't say anything about a trade! Perhaps a trade is brewing and they need the roster space.

@Hoof – Yeah, you are certainly correct. This is a very big game and the 50 shots on goal the Habs gave Thrashy is unacceptable. I don't get to see all of the games but from what games I have seen OP and Buffy are carrying this team and their backs will soon be tired. The rest need to step it up. Big test tonight and good luck!
January 5th, 2011

There is a very real possibility that Vancouver could be the only Canadian team in the playoffs…how cool would that be?
some chatter yesterday about the Thrashers showing some interest in Versteeg…not sure what would have to be given up, but that might be a possibility.

Boo Hoo Canada, you'd think they would "know" how to run a winning franchise from all the
talk those fans have, but every year it is THE SAME OLD STORY in Canada, their teams DO NOT WIN.
It would be fantastic for all SE teams to make it, can you hear those wining Canada fans then ???
January 5th, 2011
12:48 pm
@hip czech – Thanks for the link, good article. It could very well happen that 4 teams in the SE could fill out half of the playoff bracket. It has happened to the NW division a few times before when the Avs, Flames, Oilers and Canucks were all good and all made it in. Thrashy will make it – baring an injury to OP. And if the other 3 make it as well, the Thrash will make a huge accomplishment as they play the others in their division more than the rest of the league.

Cats have been playing well, lately. I don't have their last 20 games stats handy, but I have been noticing them banking points with some regularity now. It's a big game, like they all are from this point on, for the Thrashers. And the Cats, too! The Cats think they can make the playoffs. It's been quite a drought for them. They came close, fairly recently, but lost a tie-breaker to Montreal for the 8th spot.
Florida is trying to change the 'Tude in the lockerroom. They sent Nathan Horton packing, then asked if anyone else wanted to leave. So, they're trying to have a lockerroom filled with players who either (1) want to be there or (2) don't have an overt objection to being there.
I've always said that we must compare ourselves to teams in similar situations. I usually cite the TB Lightning, the Columbus Blue Jackets, Edmonton, Carolina, Buffalo, but why not throw Florida into the mix? They've had bad ownership. They're in a non-traditional market, fighting with three (3) other major professional sports teams for the entertainment dollars (Heat, Dolphins, Marlins). They haven't shown much of a capacity to run their team, for the better part of a decade. So, matchups with them are another chance to show … just how far we've come against those clubs, who found themselves in a similar situation, either by market size, difficulty in attracting free agents, overcoming a learning curve about the sport, or ridiculous ownership.

Brendan, I have been monitoring Ethan Horton in Boston. He started off pretty will with the Broones, but has recently went back to his Florida ways. Ethan will find out that the fans in Chowderhead-town are not as patient and forgiving as the ones in Miami Beach.
January 5th, 2011
1:22 pm
What?? There are hockey fans in Miami Beach???
I jest, I jest, but I do recall a pretty sparce crowd for the December 5th tilt with the Ice Birds there in Sawgrass last year. There were probably 8,000 (max) at that game…for a SATURDAY!! They hadn't even been eliminated from the playoffs yet. Of course, everyone wants to single out the Thrashers these days because our owners are maroons.
January 5th, 2011
1:24 pm
"Whut them gurls need is sum me mixed in"
Fixed your typo, Jethro.
I expect to see a well rested Thrashers' club to have their legs under them again and come out flying and go go go all night. Looking for a big game from Ladd tonight. If we can avoid Vokoun standing on his head, I think we'll see a good tilt and the good guys to come away with 2 pts.
January 5th, 2011
1:42 pm
They damn well better have their legs Joe, that excuse has now outlived its statute of limitations. Time to start banking mad points against teams below us in the standings. Win 19 or 20 of the next 40 and we should get in to the cool kids dance! Start peeling off the clothing from the cardboard cutout!!

Man, I could really use a strong game by the "Boys in Blue" tonight and not one of those 2-1, 1-0 or so jobs they seem to always have against "The Kitties". They need to make up for that stinker they played in ATL before the streak and Ladd being named captain.
January 5th, 2011

Four teams to the playoffs from the South East is quite possible when you look at the contenders' upcoming schedules. People talk and worry a lot about teams below the Thrashers and their games in hand but the Thrashers have already got the toughest part of their season out of the way. They face the fewest contenders in the league at 23 and have 17 games left against weaker opponents including tonight's game that they should get two points from. The big plus is the amount of rest and practice they will now get in.
Compare that to the Rangers who have already played 19 softies with only 11 more to go. They also must face 30 contenders, 18 of those on the road. The NYR are in trouble. The Habs will have faced the most softies of the contenders in the East at 34 and have 16 left with 7 at home. They should get in. As should Carolina who has 17 left against those out of the hunt, even though their schedule is pretty packed in the end. Two points in regulation against the Rangers tonight will go a long way. The Thrashers can deal with the Canes next week.
The difficulty with four teams from the same conference is that they all must face each other so many times – unless they give each other a point which has happened a lot this year in the SE. That's FL's problem. Being one of those weaker teams they must face 32 teams that are in contention, 14 of those on the road. They may be above .500 but it does not look good for them. The schedule starts getting tight against some very good teams. The only bright spot is they have already played 21 of 41 on the road. But, so have the Thrashers who have a better road record.
It's getting very interesting to say the least. I'd love to see four Southern teams in the Stanley Cup playoffs! FL knocking out MTL with only one Canadian team in the post season is just too much to ask. But, we always got hope! Just not tonight Florida.
January 5th, 2011
4:00 pm
Cornbread, if 4 teams get in from the SE, then I would speculate that a lot of 3 point games must happen during those games vrs. SE opponites. So, if we really want 4 teams from the SE, we will have to sit thru some nailbitters. If we watch Fl. vrs Caps, etc. etc.
January 5th, 2011
4:01 pm
The rumors are flying about a trade especially now with Eager out. It's quite possible that he must be part of the package for any team to take Bergfors. The soft Swede with the soft hands is also the softest player in the NHL. He has the league worst 2 hits and 4 blocked shots all year – all of those by accident I'm sure. Not to mention he's a top line winger who doesn't shoot the puck enough or go to the high traffic areas for the garbage. And people really wonder why this guy has not been playing?
He thinks of himself as a Sedin twin but he's far from it and that's not going to fly in Ramsay's or Dudley's system. I don't see it playing out in too many team's plans especially Torontos. It's going to take a two or three for one deal to move him. Hands of cement and grit plus a tough prospect along with a softie for one player of value. Is that a high price? Probably worth it.
January 5th, 2011
4:03 pm
Good Lord, Cornbread. If four teams from the SE get in, Dallas, LA and PHO get in, but none of the three teams from metro NYC, Buffalo and only one Canadian team makes it in…..
Would the Canuckleheads try to cancel the playoffs?
January 5th, 2011
4:06 pm
Even though you can analyze the schedule and call certain teams "softies", it really depends on how WE play. We have beaten the Caps 3 times already and also Detroit, Boston twice, etc. Meanwhile, we just lost to the biggest softie on paper NJ, after a brutal stretch.
By the time we play the Devils twice in March, they may be playing better than anyone in the league. Is anyone considering the Islanders softies right now at 7-1-1- or something in their last stretch? They beat Detroit too.
It's great analysis and good fodder for a blog — right now, we survived the 1st half and more and control our own destiny. We only need to concern ourselves with W's and banking points in our own games, especially in the division.

Rawhide, if you posted that photo on ESPN you would have been fired. Be glad they don't have a PC crowd at AJC. ESPN is out of control with their firings. I guess no one gets a second chance there anymore. One mistake, GONE!
January 5th, 2011
4:55 pm
Dwayne that is correct and it is what has occurred already. That is why it is so tight. I believe a third of the South East games have gone to OT. Additionally, the Thrashers have played the most OT games in the NHL with 14 followed by TBL with 13, WSH with 12 and CAR is 5th in the East with 10! Poor old FL has only taken it to OT 6 times.
Hoof it would be a beautiful thing wouldn't it? It's already starting to get played out on the TSN boards. Not very happy commentors over there.
TT NJ "MAY" be playing great hockey in March but if you watched last night's game the likelihood of that happening is nonexistent. They are horrible. There is no hope for them. They played horribly in their win against the Thrashers as well. Two unlucky turnovers by an exhausted team was the difference. Yes the Thrashers must win and every odds maker in Vegas and Canada has them winning against those soft teams and the Rangers not faring so well in their upcoming brutal schedule. Sucks much worse to be them than the Thrashers. I don't see this very good Thrashers team collapsing down a much lighter stretch. Not so much for the Rangers and possibly Habs. Could they play great? Sure, but it's a much more difficult task for two teams below them in the standings that I do not believe are better than the Thrashers.
January 5th, 2011
5:03 pm
Before you get carried away with the four teams from the Southeast Division making the playoffs, try to remember that this division has only ever had two teams qualify during any one playoff season. It has happened six times in 11 seasons, and once only was the 2nd SE team seeded higher than 6th (Florida was 5th in 1999-00).
Since 1998-99…
Northeast had four teams in 2009-10, 2003-04, 2001-02 and 1998-99
Atlantic had four teams in 2008-09, 2007-08, 2006-07
Central had four teams in 2008-09
Northwest had four teams in 2002-03
Pacific had four teams in 1999-2000
January 5th, 2011
5:24 pm
So why did we trade for Bergfors in the first place? Looks like we overestimated his value a bit, ay?
January 5th, 2011
5:46 pm
Bergfors thrived in Anderson's system, but suffers in Ramsey's.
The thing that might help the sale is Bergfors played well in New Jersey under LeMaire. He was pissed when he was traded to Atlanta and refused to sign a long term deal here. Bergfors lack of shot blocking and hitting can be sold that he is saving himself for his team, next year.
It is all pretty weak, but the reality is, when you are selling you do everything to put lipstick on the pig.
January 5th, 2011
6:18 pm
I dunno about who'll we'll trade (besides Bergfors & Eager's a safe bet too) or who'lll we'll get this year and frankly I'm surprised that I don't really care. What I care about is locking up guys like Buff, Ladd, etc. ASAP and hope for the best this year.
After that this town might actually ATTRACT TALENT!!! Solid free agents and trade-ees willing to sign multi-year contracts…in ATLANTA?!?!?
With a solid playoff performance from this roster under Ramsay I wholeheartedly believe that'd be the case.
January 5th, 2011
7:24 pm
Check out the TSN Power Rankings this week:
The Thrashers have moved up to 5th place from the previous weeks 6th position. LOVE IT!
The real shocker though is this: "As far as Canadian teams go, the Montreal Canadiens are the only team aside from Vancouver to rank in the Top 16.
Calgary (24th), Toronto (27th), Ottawa (28th) and Edmonton (29th) are all going through some difficult times, with rankings that reflect as much."
Talk of 4 Southeastern Conference teams making the playoffs and the Canadian power rankings having 4 Canadian teams in the bottom 6. This can not make the case for the Diques and those hailing from Winnipeg or Hamilton.

OMG, Matt McConnell is awful. I'm not usually a guy that feels the need to point these things out, but he clearly demonstrates that he's simply a professional announcer and not a "hockey guy". All he does is spew regurgitated minutia and generic observations. Send him the way of Natalie Taylor.

There are a lot of cynics on the dating scene. Heck, I admit that I was mayor of Bitterville a couple of times. It's hard not to become at least a little protective of our egos, hearts, and emotions.
I met a really great guy the other day at the recycling center at DeKalb's Farmer's Market. We had the most random chat about Atlanta and dating. He was of the mindset that you have to play the dating game – at least a little. If not, you could find yourself being used and abused, even when your intentions are good.
It sounded a little cynical to me, so I asked him when did this attitude about women and relationships come about. He launched into a really awful account of his last girlfriend who played really dirty dating games with him. Of course he is gun shy!
Do you think that a lot of single people think this way? Are we slow to trust the intentions of others? Do we question their motives too much?
If we are all thinking that we have to play or get played, then who is winning?!
Happy Friday!

Unless it's a question of two playas getting a random encounter at Dekalb Farmers Market and get to compare notes about how they play the 'game' in Atlanta. Maybe one play talking and the other jotting her notes? Hmmmm mm.

Ooooh, The Dating Game. Talk about back in the day. I think Burt Reynolds was even a guest on there once…..
Maybe if it gets slow today, we could play the blog dating game. Of course, we might have a hard time finding 3 bachelors since most of the guys are married. But we could do 3 bachelorettes.
@Swiss – I think you would be an excellent host.

I don't know a lot of cynical people although I understand being cautious. Going into a relationship with the attitude how can I win/gain financially or material assets means nobody wins. If you play I'm not judging you that's your business just be honest to your self and realize every game played has an ending..

As my boo and I were commuting this morning and conversing about many things I thanked him for not coming with games and the amount of time he invest in our relationship. After being single for a while playing games and being played it feels wonderful to be with someone sharing the same goals for an exclusive relationship. The dating game can make one bitter with the knock outs and blows but I truly believe there is someone for everyone and with time those bitter feelings will fade. Throughout the highs and lows of being single I truly remained hopeful even on my darkest days and trust I had many.

That is a good question about unconditional love and the dynamics of it~ hmmmmm pondering………

SH – There isn't anyone that I HAVE to care for but for those that are important to me, I CHOOSE to.
And I mean 'unconditional' to mean unchanging….loving me for the person I am: Good, bad, ugly and 'work in progress'. Not just caring during the good while on top, but also when i'm not that usually bubbly funny chick…need it when I'm hurting, when I'm wrong, when I have my ugly cry going on…Love that has my back. Hope that sheds some light for you. (oh and I don't have any rugrats yet)

"Games" is code of lack of honesty.
Either the person isn't being honest with you – or themselves.
Now, 'DAN' didn't just come from nowhere, I played my share of 'games' during my time in the skreets, but eventually, (for me) it wore thin.
Even the last….few….women I dated prior to getting married (this includes my wife) there were explicit conversations about what my goals and expectations were. Did these conversations happen right away? No. But once I sorted out how I felt about those ladies, the conversations had to be had.
*Note: by sorted out Dan means deciding how she dealt with me, the world, and those 'quiet moments'.
Morning folkers!

And I believe that maybe today
We will all get to appreciate
Yes, we will all get to appreciate
The beauty of gray…"

Love changes.
It grows, gets deeper, more personal, less abritray, more contrarian, more forgiving and sometimes, it dies altogether.
Make no mistake about it – "Love" changes.

S/H – you are not invisible however given the history of blog gents to up and propose to chicks after bouts of separation and your pending journey to visit a certain someone we'll pull back and wait and see if you spring any news on us after your trip. you might come back and change your moniker to just HAPPY.
August 24th, 2012
8:58 am
SH – You're beginning to sound like For Real…if you all want to break the word and my idea of unconditional down then go right ahead.
Dan – Yes love changes, as almost everything changes but that's not really what I meant. All in all, I want a genuine love. Is that better?
Ex – What? I hurt your feelings…I didn't even know you had any. But i'm big enough to express my apologies. I'm not out to hurt, i'm out to love And to show you i'm for real, I even share some of Lady's me.lons with you

Slim: have heard those word so many times and they are always followed by conditions. Everything we do have conditions to it. We all have conditions that must be meet for us to truly love and support someone. Some even have those conditions on the children once they get grown.

I don't understand what dating games there even are…I sure don't want to play any games or be played!
I think there is a big difference in being cynical and being careful. I could easily be cynical right now, but instead, I'm choosing to be careful because I'm wounded. Then again, who isn't wounded?

We have seen internet photo trends come and go around these parts. Planking was chuckle inducing for a while, Owling was slightly weird and died a quick death, Leisure Diving was awesome but definitely not good for winter and to a lesser extent we also enjoyed Razorbombing, Batting, Stocking and Horsemanning.
But Dylan Lewis is here to blow up the latest internet photo sensation. Hold onto your memes kids - this is Wallying!
All you need to Wally is a red and white striped shirt, a working knowledge of the mechanics of hide and seek and a camera! See if you can spot Dylan in these Wallying flicks taken around the Nova office today and tell us where he is in the comments below.
Feel free to submit your own Wallying photo by tweeting a pic with the hashtag #Wallying
1. Where could Dylan be? Hint: Perhaps he is riding the information super highway?
2. Sometimes Wallying can be tiring work. Make sure you rest whenever you feel tired of Wallying kids.
3. To be a successful Waly Watcher, one must be vigilant at all times like our morning host Andy.
4. An empty hallway? Or a Wallying haven?
5. The News stops for nobody. Except Wallying!
6. This is a tricky one. Concentrate and look real carefully. If you need a hint - he isn't the man on the toilet.
7. Hmmmmm... can you spot Dylan, Wallying amongst all those sales people? Squint if you need to.
8. Even General Managers get into the spirit of Wallying! But where oh where is Wally?

What makes a crowd-sourced (collaboration) project successful?
We see lots of successful collaboration projects, while we don't notice the ones that fail. Many projects succeed and many fail. What are these characteristics that make collaboration successful?
Closing Statement from Juan Calderon
I now have a better understanding of what a collaboration project should have. Successful Crowdsourcing (collaboration) projects have a goal with which the crowd has to identify. The project has to be organized in modules and have very clear instructions for the crowd to follow. The crowd has to be rewarded within the following categories (monetary, experience, and social/psychological. It is within the human nature to collaborate. Yochai's paper referenced within this discussion is amazing. The outcome of the conversation as was given to my class can be seen on this prezi http://prezi.com/eyb7vhlvidsu/crowdsourcing/
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
May 5 2012: Kind of black and white don't you think? Like normal society all the things being done on the internet are a myriad of different practices with different goals and background. I don't personally think there a specific approach towards the internet that differs from real life. The only thing that might change is the technology in use.
So in my opinion a crowd-sourcing project would rely on good marketing and a vision that is attractive.
There are so many different ideas about this, so why not make a debate. Then we can also start debate about the meaning of success.
May 5 2012: Marketing and vision are absolutely important.
Within your marketing you have to sell your project, but the project is not just marketing.
There have to be some incentives for people to join, that not necesarily are related to you being aligned with the vision.
I believe that there is some structure, some arquitecture that helps projects develop. I'm wondering about the characteristics that help projects be successful.
May 5 2012: Then let me tell you about my experiences, as I do have some.
With crowd-sourced I think you mean free labor right? The essential thing is a goal, without a goal there is no development. However picking out what the main goal is is crucial. It should be inspiring and promote a better future, the next thing you have to look for is short term goals. The next thing that is on your mind is: how big is our group? How many people are working on it actively without being paid until the end? A small group means freedom and close interaction, however the bigger the group becomes you will need to divide it up between departments. However, not separate them, direct interaction is still needed. So as organizer, when you are talking about a thousand people, you have to make sure it self-organized. Create a flow system so people know what things they have to complete, just like when you are learning a new trade. Instead of focusing on organizing the whole thing you now have the time to spend your time on the so called "positive deviants": people that will take action themselves because they seek a solution and do this without being recognized for their actions (say irrational). By putting them in the spotlight you boost the morale between the short term goals.
With self-organizing I also mean the monitoring of tasks, but this can be done through software (if the resources are there).
The next important thing is to not overflow the project with new people. People that are unaware of the progress being made. It is better to let outsiders have access to the development and any interested can still apply for the job. Though adding modules to the already existing project will bring in new people involuntarily. This is however not something bad. It requires the people working on the projects to see it through novice's eyes, which in my experience has always lead to solving some of the most crucial problems.
I hope this is what you're looking for.
May 6 2012: Thanks. This is what I'm looking for. It only rises more questions.
There is the marketing, there is the vision or goal, and there is the free labour for which you have to establish the right conditions so that it "self-organizes". This is made by giving short term goals which have to be aligned towards the goal for the system to flow. And they should be added in a modular fashion.
How do you keep the free-labour inside? There is some recognition and reputation involved. So you need some gamification? i.e. rankings, prices. money.
How do you control? You have to monitor and you have to give some feedback so that the system doesn't go towards sommewhere else. Is this done by making each task small and simple enough?
May 6 2012: I understand it rises only more questions, but like I said in the end there is a myriad of variables at play.
However, when you organizational design it all relies on the product you want to bright forth and how many parties have a particular role in the whole scheme. Creating an IT company is fairly easy in contrast to a drug company. The bigger the thing gets the more levels you have to create. Now I am not talking about mid-field managers, these people play no beneficial role in my eyes. Not because of their position, but because of their credentials.
Free-labour? Labour is almost never free, maybe it is voluntarily, but it is rarely free. Labour can only be free in a sense if the participating people already earn more than they need and do the work for free. So in the end it only like a serious hobby, rather than a job. And when it becomes a hobby you need to adjust your organization structure. More freedom, but in what way I can't say as it against depends on multiple factors.
Gamification, yes it works, but only for short-term (activist) groups. I have yet to see it integrated in a matured long-term group. Though not impossible, I have never succeeded in such and I actually come from the gaming industry formerly. Which should be the least hostile to such measures. ::: On another note, gamification does lower the threshold for community interaction if applied on a large scale, and with it being on a large scale it can be made self-regulatory. A simple example of self-regulation is thumbing up/down. Not everyone will do it, but enough will to add value to the system.
May I ask what this is for? If it is for a specific task I might be able to be more thorough.
May 6 2012: Thanks.
My friend asked me to help her by teaching a class next Tuesday. I'm working on the presentation which is full of examples. I started this conversation in order to help me organize my ideas.
The presentation has many examples and I was missing the key points and a call to action. I want them to leave class with some simple rules of thumb or a nice summary of what makes it work.
I appreciate your contributions, they have helped me organize the ideas.
Any other comments or suggestions will be useful.

One down and four more to go for Independence Day festivities in and aroundHarford County.
Darlington celebrated Saturday, but this long holiday weekend features four more events: in Edgewood, Havre de Grace, Kingsville and Bel Air.
Bel Air has the biggest celebration, with breakfast, and competitions such as frog-jumping and watermelon-eating in the morning, then will wrap up after the parade in fireworks.
Start the holiday weekend in Edgewood Saturday.
In keeping with tradition, this year's Edgewood-Joppatowne parade will be held in Edgewood at 6 p.m. The parade starts at the Boys and Girls Club and finishes by Deerfield Elementary School, according to Chairperson Dianna Guthrie.
There will be eight marching bands and 50 to 75 entries representing the theme of "Hope, Liberty and Justice For All."
There is no rain date.
Havre de Grace
On Sunday, head out to an all-day celebration for the Fourth of July in Havre de Grace.
Starting at 2 p.m. is the parade, running from Warren Street on Union Avenue to Millard Tydings Memorial Park. It features 23 musical units and several other participants, according to Carolyn Narvell, a member of the committee.
Once in the park, a concert is scheduled at 7 p.m., featuring LIXX and DJ Jeff Thompson. The fireworks start at dark and following them, the concert will continue until 10:30 p.m.
Sunday is also the last day of the carnival, which opens around 4 p.m. after the parade is over, and runs to 10:30 p.m. Unlimited rides are $25.
There is no rain date. Check for more information.
Kicking off the festivities on July 4 is Kingsville with its unique pre-parade celebration starting at 10 a.m., with the parade following at 10:50 p.m.

The opening ceremonies will include the national anthem and a fly-over from the Maryland Air National Guard.
There is no rain date.

Ready for Press
In this final part of our three-part series [1][2],we'll put the finishing touches on our Linux newspaper. You'll learn how to generate a PDF,and you'll find out what a real pre-press professional thinks about our project.
In last month's installment, we finished our newspaper front page and offered it as a guide for creating the remaining pages. Now we'll show how to add the finishing touches and assemble the newspaper for printing. Templates In any print design project (or web design project, for that matter), one keyissue is consistency. In order to be consistent, it is necessary to create pages that look relatively similar even if they hold different types of content. Basic page elements, such as the system for numbering pages (called the folio in publishing), should be identical, as should the fonts used throughout.

An Ethiopian court has sentenced 558 people to jail terms ranging from six months to 25 years for attacks on Christians that displaced thousands and led 69 churches to be burned to the ground. More than 4,000 members of local Protestant denominations were forced to flee near the town of Asendabo, some 300 kilometres (186 miles) west of the capital, in March during a rare bout of religious violence.
Mobs of Muslim youths carried out week-long attacks on Protestants after rumours that desecrated pages from the Koran had been found at a church construction site. Authorities reported a single death from the attacks.
"They were punished for their involvement in instigating and participating in religious disturbances in western Ethiopia," government spokesman Shimelis Kemal said of the court cases. Forty-four people were acquitted.
Regional officials told Reuters almost all the displaced people have returned to their homes, some of which were repaired with support from local Muslims. Authorities, keen to avoid further fall-out between the two groups, have held several meetings in the area and claim normalcy has returned.

Tennant Company and ec-H2O™ Technology to be Featured on "World's Greatest!..."
MINNEAPOLIS, MN — Tennant Company, a world leader in designing, manufacturing and marketing solutions that help create a cleaner, safer world, today announces that the company and its ec-H2O™ technology will be featured on the cable television program "World's Greatest!..." In its third season, "World's Greatest!..." features behind-the-scenes footage and interviews with some of the most unique companies, products and people worldwide. Tennant Company is being featured for its innovative leadership, as evidenced by its ec-H2O technology.
"It is a great honor for Tennant Company to be recognized by 'World's Greatest!...' as one of the world's greatest companies for our commitment to innovative solutions that are helping to make the world cleaner and safer," said Melissa Engelhart, director of Global Business Marketing with Tennant Company. "Our ec-H2O technology is changing lives, it's changing the cleaning industry, and it's changing the impact cleaning has on the world. I wholeheartedly agree that both the technology and Tennant Company deserve this recognition by the 'World's Greatest"...'."
Developed by Tennant researchers and engineers and named by R&D Magazine as one of the most technologically significant developments in 2008, ec-H2O technology helps to meet the ever-growing need for sustainable cleaning. The ec-H2O technology delivers proven cleaning results without the negative environmental and health concerns associated with producing, packaging, transporting, using and disposing of traditional cleaning chemicals. The technology starts with water and ends with water, so it can be handled and disposed of easily and safely. It uses 70 percent less water than traditional cleaning methods, which increases scrub time up to three times per tank. It also leaves behind no slippery detergent residue on the floor, and releases no used detergent discharge into water systems. Eliminating the need for chemical additives enhances worker safety and reduces costs for purchasing and disposal of chemicals.
"World's Greatest!..." airs nationally on the ION Network. Tennant Company will be featured on episode 124 of the program, which will air on Monday, August 17; Tuesday, August 18; and Wednesday, August 19. Visit www.tvguide.com or www.iontelevision.com for a complete listing of air times. The program will also be broadcast at Noon Eastern on Wednesday, August 19 for DirecTV and Dish Network customers. Following the initial airing of the segment, it will also be available for viewing at www.tennantco.com.

MADISON, WI (WTAQ) - More folks have been hitting the road in Wisconsin.
The DOT said Tuesday that motorists drove over 59 billion miles in the Badger State last year. That's up by just over 0.9 percent from 2011.
The average Wisconsinite went 10,337 miles on the state's highways and streets last year -- 0.7 percent more than the previous year.
Officials credit the increase to an improved economy, with more commercial vehicles delivering goods. An increase in the state's population was also mentioned as a factor.
Dry weather certainly helped folks venture out. Spring virtually sprung in February. After some unexpected late snows in April and May, Wisconsin went through one of its hottest and driest periods in decades.
According to the DOT, the Badger State has about 113,000 miles of roads. Federal, state, and Interstate highways make up just over a tenth of the total network -- but they carry 60 percent of the traffic.
Wisconsin has around 4 million licensed drivers and about 5.5 million registered vehicles.

Third Class Traveller
Cave cults, death threats, mud eating and a broken back. It can only be another adventure with Julian Hanton. No economic downturn can stop the intrepid Mr Hanton, so for this journey he attempts to survive a week on just $100. This requires Julian to rely on the kindness of strangers and enjoy a little traveller's luck. Julian's relationship with luck is erratic at best, so it's no surprise that during a massage in Vilnius in Lithuania he is informed he has a broken back. Determined to improve his health after this news, Julian heads to the spa town of Druskininkai but finds that he can only afford a mud eating treatment. Turkey proves to be a particularly tough week to survive as Julian is threatened on the street and then becomes violently ill shortly before being beaten up by a four year old. Still at least he could afford to eat there, unlike in Copenhagen where surviving on $100 means making one meal last the entire week. By barely scraping through weeks in Milan, Berlin, Nicosia and Sofia Julian shows how travelling extremely cheaply can be done but also demonstrates there's little chance of success with Third Class Traveller package tours.
No. of Episodes: 7
1 Berlin
For his first journey Julian visits Berlin, the capital of a reunited Germany, a city that still bears some physical and psychological scars two decades on from the fall of the wall. Staying with locals, Julian tests the couches of a 70's 'Party Queen' and an escapee from the former East. Hanging with comedians, graffiti artists and beer drinkers, Julian sees if Berlin has reclaimed its spot as one of the coolest cities in the world.
Duration: 60'
2 Vilnius
Taking in the small Baltic nation of Lithuania, Julian begins in its picturesque capital Vilnius where he investigates the country's communist past, visiting an abandoned war time bunker. He then embarks on a disastrous tour of the city's nightlife with a local drunkard. In the small town of Birzzai he takes a beer tour, where the information is all lost in translation and later during a massage he discovers he has a broken back. In Klapieda he re-enacts a disorganized Napoleonic battle, and goes hunting for amber in the Baltic Sea. Ending his journey in the spa town of Druskininkai he finds he's fast running out of money and can only afford to eat mud.
Duration: 60'
3 Sofia
With a limited budget Julian travels to one of the cheapest countries in Europe, Bulgaria. Starting in the capital Sofia, he joins the circus and also finds a thriving film industry. Outside the city limits he takes a daytrip to a village named 'Evil Valley' and down south finds the 'Nostradamus' of the Balkans, Baba Vanga. Although Bulgaria is still a country emerging from its troubled past Julian finds that hospitality, food and drink are never in short supply in this much under-rated country.
Duration: 60'
4 Copenhagen
Risking it all Julian travels to one of Europe's most expensive countries, Denmark. He stays with a top furniture designer in the capital, visits the infamous hippy free state of Christiania and, dressing up as a Viking, takes a wild ride on one of their ships. Struggling to find anything affordable in Copenhagen he moves off to Arhus where he is taken back in time to the 1860's and follows a shoplifting actor through historic streets. Achieving childhood nirvana he ends his time in the original Legoland.
Duration: 60'
5 Milan
In many ways Milan suffers from being the poor cousin to Italy's more impressive cities like Rome and Venice, which makes it a perfect destination for the third class traveller. On a mission to find its best attributes, Julian stays with a gay ballerina who takes him synchronized swimming and with a hipster filmmaker who takes Julian out on the town to teach him the art of picking up Italian girls; Julian is a willing student. Outside of Turin he enters the amazing cave temples of a local religious sect. In these times of cheap travel, Julian even tries his hand at 'dumpster diving' for food with a couple of vegans who live on trash while they travel.
Duration: 60'
6 Nicosia
Julian sees how much his $100 US will stretch on the resort island of Cyprus, a tourist hotspot at the crossroads of the Mediterranean. He knocks back a tequila layback in Ayia Napa the 'Ibiza' of Cyprus. Moving on to Limassol he escapes the heat by ice-skating and soon finds himself working behind the scenes of a busy restaurant to get a free meal. Finally in the capital Nicosia, he attends a big fat Cypriot wedding with a 2000 guests and joins an ex-pat drinking group with a 'running problem'.
Duration: 60'
7 Istanbul
Julian's third-class travel in Turkey is also his toughest. Istanbul turns out to be a city as divided as the two continents it sits upon. Staying with two very modern women he embarks on a quest to find the extreme side to the city; discovering a sexy world of risqué cabaret and the underground punk scene. Also on Julian's list of highlights are getting threatened with beheading, vomiting in the streets and getting beaten up by a 4-year-old boy.
Duration: 60'

WMF Metrics and activities meetings/Quarterly reviews
The purpose of quarterly project reviews is to ensure accountability and create an opportunity for course corrections and resourcing adjustments in consultation with a team working on a specific Wikimedia Foundation initiative.
As an example, a team may be tasked with increasing the number of photo uploads. It may seek to achieve this goal through two to three initiatives. Upon review, it may become apparent that only one initiative is successful. A quarterly review can serve as a checkpoint to prioritize the successful initiative and adjust resource allocation accordingly.
Reports and outcomes are publicly shared. Initially, we were only holding these reviews with Executive Director participation for the top priority initiatives as identified in Sue Gardner's Narrowing focus recommendations (see also the announcement of the quarterly reviews from December 2012).
Previous quarterly reviews[edit]
Presentation slides from the quarterly review meetings are linked in the Minutes listed above, and also collected in a category on Commons.

- Amazing taste experienceOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 9/13/2014We love coming to Spice Market when we are in NYC. Vivid ambiance, nice music, a lot of people in different ages. We had a fantastic lobster summer roll, red curry duck and grilled chicken with citrus lemongrass dressing that was super good. The best was the spicy Thai slaw. To die for, an explosion of flavors. Perfect balance of hot, sour and sweet.Special Features:
- CatherineDined on 9/13/2014Visited Spice Market two years ago and feel that the food was better then. Good service but no food experience. Ginger margarita was good though
- AMAZING!!!!OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 9/13/2014Tout était parfait : l'ambiance, le décor, le service et la nourriture... évidemment! Best asian food ever!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Awesome food!!!!OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 9/12/2014Loved the Asian Slaw and the Shrimp app. Also the Chicken Samosas and yummy dipping sauce. Loved the fact people can share the dishes and you never know what dish is coming out next.....Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Terrible serviceOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 9/12/2014The food was fantastic but trying to find my waiter and getting any service was almost impossible. I called the restaurant too also to tell them to surprise my girlfriend for her birthday and they failed miserably. Would never go again.Special Features:
- Excellent FoodAlisaDined on 9/12/2014We went to dinner here on Friday as a group of 4. The food here is excellent! Ambiance is excellent. Awesome experience!Special Features:
- DinnerdisgruntledDined on 9/12/2014my wife and i are frequent diners at Spice Market. Although we were disappointed Friday with the starters menue (lobster roll), the drinks were great and the halibut was amazing as usual. I don't understand why the restaurant dropped the Octopus appetizer from their menue - it was our favorite? The service as always was excellen and this time the kitchen was timely with their preparations. Few weeks ago, we were four and had to wait for more than an hour for our meals, we literally ate separately as we were jot served simulteously. We still love the food and will continue to dine at the restaurant.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Has gone downhill fastMattVIPDined on 9/12/2014My wife and I were regular customers, but we won't be anymore. They recently changed the cocktail menu, for the worse. Service was lousy. Drinks sat empty for long periods of time. One appetizer was forgotten, and the other appetizer (mushroom egg rolls) were terrible. At one point, the server swang by the the table and asked how the mushroom egg rolls were (as they sat there half eaten 15 minutes after they came out of the kitchen). I responded, "Not good." She didn't acknowledge what I said and just kept walking. I have $20 that says this place is out of business by the end of 2015.
- DisappointingNigelCo2Dined on 9/12/2014Was excited to try the restaurant. Cocktails were different & enjoyable. Menu seemed exciting but wee were left unimpressed. Pork buns were super. Lobster summer roll was tasteless except for the excessive use of dill. Pork vindaloo was quite tasty but still lacked heat. Red Curried duck was most disappointing. Dredged in a thick, gooey brown sauce, it lacked finesse & delicacy. A strange aftertaste too. One of the rice dishes topped with a fried egg was strange & disappointing. Maybe we picked the wrong dishes. Staff were attentive & professional. Restaurant has a interesting & vibrant feel. Cuisine needs attention thoughSpecial Features:
- Lovely spaceEchoDined on 9/12/2014Spice Market brought out that Southeast Asia ambiance very well. The menu was a bit of fusion with some Thai, Malaysian, Japanese, Indian and Chinese influence. The portion was small but delightful.Special Features:
- One of the best dining experiencesFarCJDined on 9/11/2014What a great restaurant! The decoration is beautiful. The food is unique, delicious and very creative. The service is excellent. We took the chef's choice tasting menu and we were very happy with our choice. The portions are very reasonably sized for a tasting menu. The flavours are amazing. I still dream of their salmon tartare! If I ever go back to NY, I will definitely eat there again.Special Features:
- Fantastic mealJocyMDined on 9/11/2014I split a few dishes with a friend. We got the samosas to start, followed by the duck curry, coconut sticky rice, and broccoli with corn. Everything was amazing. I loved the fact that they weren't afraid to make the food very spicy - and even though it was hot, the dishes were never overpowered by the spice. The service was also excellent - very attentive and quick. I will definitely encourage people to try out this restaurant!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Noise above the food!champagnebillyDined on 9/11/2014First and foremost the food was fabulous, I tasted everything brought to the table and enjoyed every bite. Loved the Pork belly buns and the chicken satay especially. My only problem was it was too loud to have a reasonable conversation, but would go there again.
- Returning customers to spice marketOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 9/11/2014We have been to spice market many times and regularly recommend it to friends or bring visitor. Atmosphere is always great, as is the food. This time the service was disappointing solely due to our waiter (Daniel). He was unfriendly, unenthusiastic and uncaring. We didn't let it ruin our night but we expect better from spice market. Told the hostess on the way out. Really hope this was addressed with the waiter in question, as we we would hate for this place to stop being one of our go-tos.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food, poor serviceOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 9/11/2014The food is great but for the prices and level of establishment, the service was really poor. They took dirty silverware off of our plates and put the dirty knives and forks on the table cloth between courses. The server was not friendly and seemed annoyed that he had to be there. The food is so good though - Particularly the duck curry!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A series of unfortunate events!SamanthaDined on 9/10/2014Our reservation was for 9:45. We arrived on time and waiting almost an hour to be seated, they were behind on time and we were advised on arrival that they were 'just clearing some tables' once seated the table service provided was satisfactory as was the food, however, the birthday girl's meal arrived 20min after the rest of the party & her requested 'white rice' was brown... The restaurant kindly facilitated the serving of the cake we had bought. I can say apart from the late seating, late food arrival of BDG's meal (fish does not take long to prepare), order mistakes, staff throwing away the carrier bag for the cake & the strawberry topping! It was an mediocre evening. I will add that the restaurant decor and ambience is beautiful.Special Features:
- one of the best restaurants in NYCOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/10/2014I love this place and I can confidentially recommend this restaurant.Special Features:
- Unorganised..not worth the waitFoodiefatoomVIPDined on 9/10/2014I had a reservation for 9 30 . Got there at 9 25 was told they were a couple of minutes late and to wait at the bar . The bar was so full there was hardly space to stand - we checked at 9 45 again and were told it would be a "couple of minutes" .. Finally at 10 I had to go up to the hostess again and this time they seated us ..once the menus arrived the server was good and the food was ok .. If you are ok with quite spicy food . Service was fine but would not go back as I prefer restaurants which respect the reservation time . Doubt if they would have accommodated us if we were 30 mins lateSpecial Features:
- Charming placeOpenTable Diner Since 2007Dined on 9/10/2014I don't like meatpacking very much but the ambiance and decoration of this restaurant is fantastic. I has a feel of Far East delights, not only culinary but the whole experience.Special Features:
- Spice Market is a must!!!!FoodiePilotDined on 9/10/2014My wife and I attended Spice Market in the middle of the week and it was lively. Parking is a bit hard to find in the Meat Packing District, but other than that it's a restaurant to add to my list. Upon entering we had no issues with the receptionist. Everyone was curtious and friendly, wait staff was knowledgeable with the menu and wine list. Food took a little bit to come out but that's because most if not all are made to order so it's best to get some apps so you don't starve. Food was good, drinks were great... If you like margaritas, try the ginger margarita!!! Overall it was a great evening and we ended the night with a celebrity citing whom was also having dinner at Spice Market.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great eveninggreatvibeDined on 9/9/2014Took my wife to Spice Market for her birthday and I must say she was impressed. The service, atmosphere, and food exceeded our expectations. We will definitely be back!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food and ambiance.AlyeahSDined on 9/9/2014I've now visited Spice Market in NYC, London, and Melbourne - each it's own but all provide 100% Re food and ambiance. Good place to grab a bite or drink with friends.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Very nice asian mixOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/8/2014This was a very nice experience indeed! We only had appetizers but quite a few of them. All were very good and some excellent, I really recommend this way to get a taste of several different dishes. Service witout complaints!
- New experiences in foodJavierMolcasDined on 9/7/2014Nice to try new flavors and Asiatic food. The degustarion menu was greatSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent ExperienceHfromCalgaryDined on 9/7/2014The atmosphere was great, vibrant yet comfortable. The service was attentive, yet not in your face. The food was delicious, not overpriced. I will be back,and I will recommend it to my friendsSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Disappointing..CarlosDined on 9/7/2014Overall we had a very disappointing experience here. At entry we were asked to take place at the bar, where we were forgotten. After 30 minutes and asking again, we were seated. Apparently our waitress had the explicit instruction not to smile during the entire evening. Food was served when ready, not when the party was ready for the next course. Furthermore, the table was too small to hold both the plates and the drinks. The contrast to earlier experience at this restaurant was large, probably we won't come back again.
- The full Meatpacking experienceOpenTable Diner Since 2012VIPDined on 9/6/2014Spice Market is trendy with a great vibe. The food, cocktails, and service are all fabulous!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- The Service Sets It ApartOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/6/2014The pork belly buns were delicious. The 16-oz ribeye was, surprisingly (for an asian restaurant), perfectly cooked and expertly complimented with a sweet, peppery sauce. The music was loungey and upbeat, and the decor and design made being inside relaxing, interesting and special. But what really makes Spice Market a great restaurant is the friendly, courteous service. All the smiles of your neighborhood bistro and personal attention of fine dining with none of the pretense or stuffiness. We paid both our bar tab and our dinner bill with a gift card and it was as seamless as if we'd paid with a credit card. With service like that, Spice Market's other charms shine through, and we'd highly recommend it.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Locationfoodie174Dined on 9/6/2014This restaurant is amazing. The food is always great no matter what you order and the service is good too. Try the signature drink (ginger margarita), it's amazing!!Special Features:
- Top class service!StoffDined on 9/6/2014We went for our anniversary and the tasting menu has some interesting, but mainly delicious options. The service was probably the best I've ever had...so attentive! Good ambiance, great setting and perfect for a special occasion!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- AwesomeBerndDined on 9/6/2014We got a gift card from a friend, not knowing anything about Spice Market. We were surprised about everything - the ambiance, food, waiters, bar and so on. The restaurant is a little between Arabic and Asian style, very interesting. Although we came at 6pm, after 1/2 hour the restaurant was full packed. Very nice and warm welcome, nice tables with not too much light, sometimes the music was a little loud. We would definitely recommend the restaurant to others and will come back. We had our anniversary, and as a surprise they baked a cake for us and gave it to us as a dessert.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DeliciousEatableDined on 9/5/2014We had such a lovely evening at Spice Temple. The staff were approachable and attentive. The food we ordered was delicious and faultless. Spice Temple is also in the best spot, close to an amazing nightlife if you want to party on after dinner.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- LLL3Dined on 9/5/2014We were a party of 6. The food was great; our original waitress was having a super bad day! We were happy when we had a waiter who jumped in and saved the day. Our water attendant also was stellar! Hope they both get promoted!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Nice restaurantVinckaDined on 9/5/2014This restaurant is really typic, very nice indoor decor. But we didn't appreciate the method of service, where dishes comes out as they are prepared and have to be shared on the table. Appetizer, drinks and starters were served at the same moment and it was unpleasant. Food was good, but too much coriander for us... We especially recommend this restaurant as it is very nice and very warm ambiance.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good foodBEASTDined on 9/4/2014Service is fantastic and friendly, and the food is great. Lobster and halibut were wonderful. Very nice decor. Will return.Special Features:
- Terrific Food, Uneven ServiceMontclairVIPDined on 9/4/2014The food and cocktails were terrific as always. However we hit a significant snag with the service - our "front" server was fine, but drinks came out one at a time rather than both together, which set the stage for dinner being poorly timed and ineptly served. That was unpleasant and disappointing, especially since the service here is generally quite good and the method of service - dishes come out as they are prepared and are shared by table - is a pleasant way to dine. We waited close to 1/2 hour for our first and then four additional dishes came in rapid succession: completely overwhelming. Even worse, they started clearing dishes that we not yet had a chance to use.Special Features:

Muscle Relaxants for Neck Pain
How It Works
Muscle relaxant medicines affect the communication between the brain and the spinal cord (central nervous system). They act as sedatives, which most likely causes their muscle-relaxing effects.
Why It Is Used
Muscle relaxants may be helpful when severe muscle spasms follow the beginning of neck pain.
How Well It Works
Muscle relaxants are commonly used to treat muscle spasms in neck pain. But there is little research on their use for neck pain.1
Side Effects
Side effects include:
These medicines are best taken at bedtime. If you use one during waking hours, strictly avoid driving, operating machinery, or doing similar activities that could be dangerous to you or others if you become drowsy.
See Drug Reference for a full list of side effects. (Drug Reference is not available in all systems.)
What To Think About
Muscle relaxants are recommended only for initial, short-term treatment of neck pain.
Valium and Soma are not recommended for use by:

Rust en Vrede 2003 Estate, Stellenbosch
(60% Cabernet, 30% Shiraz, 10% Merlot)
On the nose cedar, vanilla, tobacco, chocolate, mint, pepper and tar. On the palate lots of ripe berry fruit, chocolate, mint, and herbs. Not much in the way of tannic backbone. Perhaps this should have been drunk sooner. I'd give this wine a "B". Not sure of the price. This was a gift.

Model Number:
The adidas Sequencials Flagstaff 1/2 Zip is a go-to choice for runners looking for a lightweight layer when temperatures drop. The soft waffle textured fabric keeps you warm and provides next to skin comfort, a front zipper allows for temperature control, while a lowered back hem and thumb holes give additional coverage. Reflective details increase visibility.
Comments: This is a really soft, lightweight, comfortable and warm top. However, all of my Adidas gear has top-quality construction and it doesn't appear as though this top is on par. Time will tell. From: Sky, HVL, CA

UV LEDs ease overcapacity woes
Shrinking margins in visible LEDs are driving companies to an ultraviolet explosion, according to Yole Développements Pars Mukish.
Ultraviolet light has power beyond our direct perception: it can trigger chemical reactions, kill bugs, and make hidden messages reveal themselves to us. Until recently fluorescent tubes containing toxic mercury have done these tasks, but the world is turning away from them. And as prices for LEDs emitting visible wavelengths plummet, manufacturers have realised that targeting UV wavelengths might pay off. And Lyon, France market analysts Yole Développement agree it's a sector with potential, predicting the packaged UV LED market to grow at a 43% compound annual growth rate. That would make it a $270 million market by 2017, an attractive figure considering that the fi rst step in changing from visible to UV manufacturing is relatively simple.
"For 315-400 nm UV-A wavelengths, technology at the epitaxial level can be the same as for visible LED, so that standard MOCVD tools can be used," explained Yole analyst Pars Mukish. Though UV-A requires different epitaxial layer composition, LEDs have been increasingly adopted for a critical application: UV curing, where the light triggers chemical hardening reactions. "The ramp up started two to three years ago, when the performance of UV LED reached incumbent technologies' level," Mukish said. "Cost was also important, but performance was the main driver. Even though purchase costs are slightly higher, you have other system miniaturisation advantages and total cost of ownership is lower. Compare a 1 m long UV lamp with a 1 cm2 UV LED: it's a big difference. Using UV LEDs, the most powerful system can go up to 16 Wcm-2. There is no toxic mercury and lifetime is also 10 times higher, from 2,000 hours for a traditional lamp to 20,000 hours for UV LEDs."
