A Yen for Synonyms
The Man Who Made Lists
By Joshua Kendall
Putnam, 297 pages; $25.95
Is there another word for any word you know -- a more impressive, more apt or more elegant word that means the same thing? A thesaurus is built on the principle that there is indeed.
The first work in English that collected and organized synonyms (and antonyms) appeared in 1852: Roget's Thesaurus of English Words and Phrases. The book was the work of Peter Mark Roget, a British polymath who is now the subject of Joshua Kendall's engaging "The Man Who Made Lists."
Roget, it turns out, was not mostly a lexicographer. He was a physician, research scientist, mathematician and chess whiz. He had finished a draft of his thesaurus in 1805, when he was 26, but put it aside for roughly 40 years. In the meantime he conducted scientific research, published scientific papers, including one on the effects of nitrous oxide (laughing gas), and lectured to general audiences on scientific topics.
What propelled both his laboratory and lexicographical interests, Mr. Kendall tells us, was a passion for taxonomy and organizing things -- a passion, in short, for lists. Eighteen years before his thesaurus appeared, he published a categorizing work called "Animal and Vegetable Physiology Considered With Reference to Natural Theology."
How good was Roget's scientific work? Ralph Waldo Emerson extended his praise, but England's leading scientists, including Charles Darwin, were not impressed. Still, a paper of Roget's on optics, delivered to the Royal Society in 1820 -- "the retina typically sees a series of still images as a continuous picture" -- seems to have stimulated serious research and led eventually to the development of motion pictures.
But of course Roget's real legacy is his lexical reference work. Mr. Kendall compares Roget to Samuel Johnson: Both suffered from what we would now call obsessive-compulsive disorder, and both were, as Mr. Kendall puts it, "great dictionary men." But Johnson was also a great essayist, poet, literary critic and biographer. Roget had far more in common with Edward Casaubon, the pedantic husband of Dorothea Brooke in George Eliot's "Middlemarch." Casaubon had a mania for classification, too, spending years on his "Key to All Mythologies" and driving his wife to despair.
Roget's own life -- he died in 1869 at the age of 91 -- was marred by tragedy. His mother descended into madness. So did his sister. His uncle Samuel Romilly, a member of Parliament who fought for the abolition of slavery, committed suicide. Roget's wife died of cancer when she was 38. Roget himself fought off depression himself by ... making lists.
Mr. Kendall calls Roget's Thesaurus an "immortal book" and a "literary masterpiece." Immortal it may be, but is it a masterpiece? It does have a distinctive classifying system, organizing words into six categories of knowledge. But most readers ignore the categories and hunt for the synonyms. Which raises another question: Are they wise to do so?
Mr. Kendall says that consulting a thesaurus is likely to make writers "express themselves clearly and precisely." Simon Winchester, a British biographer, disagrees. Roget's Thesaurus, Mr. Winchester wrote in the Atlantic magazine several years ago, has "fostered poor writing" because it is not a discriminating guide to the use of words. "Roget," Mr. Winchester concluded, "never imagined...that an Ohio sophomore majoring in political science might one day use his book to find a word with which to pad out a paragraph in a midterm paper." It is better to consult a reference work, such as the Oxford English Dictionary, that gives examples of how a word is used in a sentence.
But let us not be too harsh. Roget's Thesaurus should probably be avoided by beginning writers, but seasoned ones may find that it jogs the mind when a dictionary is no help at all. Not surprisingly, Roget's work has a devoted readership among crossword-puzzle addicts. The first such puzzle appeared in December 1913 in the New York World. In 1925, Mr. Kendall tells us, the New York Times published an essay titled: "Roget Becomes Saint of Crosswordia." But checking out a word in Roget's can get a writer in trouble. In the most recent edition, the synonyms for saint include "pietist," "votary" and even "martyr."
Mr. Miller is the author of "Conversation: A History of a Declining Art."

Last week, a divided court of appeals upheld what may well be the most important environmental rule in the nation's history: the Environmental Protection Agency's mercury standards. The regulation is expected to prevent up to 11,000 premature deaths, 4,700 heart attacks and 130,000 asthma attacks a year.
Critics of the mercury rule have focused on its expense. The EPA estimates it will cost $9.6 billion a year, with most of the burden falling on electric utilities. Indeed, the issue of cost is what split the court.

Acme Morphs From Down-Home to Upscale With $32 Lobster
We arrived on time for our 10 p.m. reservation at Acme. We were seated 67 minutes later.
No apologies were made. No complimentary drinks were offered. The host did insist that we settle our bar tab before being seated.
Our food began arriving shortly before 11:30, precisely when I had hoped to be leaving. I should have known better.
An absence of niceties is par for the course at Manhattan's Cajun-turned-Scandinavian hotspot. Don't expect the bouncer who grilled you on the way in to hold the door on your way out.
Acme is the Noho home of chef Mads Refslund, co-founder of Noma in Copenhagen, which San Pellegrino called the World's Best Restaurant. He favors local, seasonal ingredients, modern, sometimes avant-garde techniques and unadulterated, earthy flavors.
This is why porridge is starting to supplant risotto on New York menus. Pearl barley with clams ($15) is Refslund's superb marine version, a suave showcase for tangy clams, sweet scallops and nutty sunflower seeds.
And if there's any doubt that vegetables are the new meat, try black carrots with pine, blood orange and lardo ($12). The hefty, hearty roots are cooked just past al dente, while the pork fat plays brilliant, salty second fiddle.
Sherbet Glass
Then you wait 15 minutes for a server to clear your plates. They're removed not as a courtesy but because a runner is standing by with your next course.
Staffers forgot dishes I ordered on two visits. Sadly, Acme is less an ambassador for Denmark's vibrant food scene as it is an examplar of how willingly Manhattan diners allow themselves to be treated like widgets.
When you order a glass of Stephane Coquillette (at $19, a bargain for this regal first-growth Champagne) it's served in a passe coupe. The wide bowl, fine for sherbet, lets the bubbles dissipate too quickly.
Whites, like the Weinhof Scheu Riesling ($12) are properly chilled. But reds, like the Ribera del Duero ($12) might arrive at sweaty room temperature. And wines by the glass are served in cheap stems with thick-lips and small bowls.
Bowery Balthazar
All right, so Acme isn't about personality. It's about looks -- simple and sexy, a Great Jones Street version of Balthazar: dark woods, dim lighting, some cramped seating. Waiters banged my chair as I sampled a plate of tender salt-baked beets ($12).
Ravioli ($14) with Brussels sprouts, spinach and brown butter contained so little filling that the pasta might have been a study in negative space. Farmer's eggs ($10), small bits of cauliflower and foam served in eggshells, contained no discernible egg or custard.
Refslund occasionally miscalculates his gastronomic multiplication tables. He's fine with foam, less skilled with NaCl. How else explain mealy lobster ($32) infused with so much sodium as to be nearly inedible? Rib eye ($32) was also a salt lick, perhaps overcompensating for the lack of any other flavor, including beef.
Vegan celery root soup with chestnuts and cacao ($10) tasted liked strained baby food. Raw bison and sweet shrimp with white walnuts ($13) was slimy. Undercooked sunchokes (as appealing as raw potatoes) were advertised as containing black truffles; what I got was a mouthful of ash from the vegetable's violent hay roasting ($12).
Sing Out
So order those lovely carrots or the pearl barley. Save enough to take with you, if only for the chance to sing, "Won't you come home, pearl barley?"
Follow with butter-poached chicken and eggs ($22), served in a clay pot that imparts a pleasant mustiness. Black bass ($24) was everything it should have been: crispy skin and moist flesh, complemented by sharp green tomato.
Although it's well past midnight, we stay for dessert. Bread porridge mixes the concentrated flavor of rye and the sour tang of beer. It's a fine finale. Rating: *
The Bloomberg Questions
Price: Most dishes under $30; many under $20.
Sound Level: Loud, 80-85 decibels, but tolerable.
Date Place: Sixty-minute waits are not sexy.
Inside Tip: Great wheatgrass granita dessert.
Special Feature: Stellar mashed potatoes with bacon ($8).
Back on My Own Dime: Not just yet. I'll get my Nordic-inspired fare at Isa or Frej in Williamsburg.
Acme is at 9 Great Jones St., Noho. Information: +1-212-203-2121; http://acmenyc.com.
What the Stars Mean: **** Incomparable food, service, ambience. *** First-class of its kind. ** Good, reliable. * Fair. (No stars) Poor
Sound-Level (in decibels): 51 to 55: Quiet enough to converse. 56 to 60: Speak up. 61 to 65: Lean in if you want to hear your date. 66 to 70: You're reading one another's lips. 71 to 75: You're yelling. 76 to 85: Ear-splitting din.

Pyelonephritis is defined as an inflammation of the pelvis and parenchyma of the kidney. Historically the inflammation has been considered to be the result of direct bacterial invasion. However, there is little definitive evidence that documents the presence of bacteria in the kidney of patients with this disease. The purpose of this investigation was to determine if kidney tissue, obtained by percutaneous or surgical biopsy, harbors bacteria in patients with pyelonephritis and to relate these findings to the presence or absence of bacteriuria.
Method and Material
Patients were included in this study on the basis of the clinical presence of renal disease, most frequently pyelonephritis.
A. Bacteriologic. —
Renal tissue was obtained from 63 patients by percutaneous biopsy in 58 and by a surgical procedure in 5. A urine culture was done on the day of, or day prior to, the biopsy in most instances. In the other patients

Thank you Kodak for not abandoning us who enjoy film shooting more than sitting in front of a computer photoshopping.
Please comment briefly on whether or not you have exposed a roll of film in the last six months...and whether or not you might plan to in the coming months!
I haven't touched a roll of film in 4 years and don't intend to use film again. I think Kodak is wasting resources in developing new film products and should devote their efforts to digital technology.
I don't think film will ever be totally dead. Some one out there will still want to express themselves in film. Want proof? There are still folks out there using antique techniques such as glass plate, pinhole, and other long gone technologies. And, oh yes, I still own film cameras and have frozen film in the freezer.
Digital Photography is a gret new medium , but I do not think is there completely with film type SLR's. I haven't gotten rid of any of my Nikon SLR's , which inludes the N90 S through the Nikon F5 . What I really was quite happy abput was that most my lenses were compatible with the new Nikon digital SLR's and i did hnot have to go out and mortgage my house to get new lenses for my D70, D200 , and D300 .
Even though my professional photography has been all-digital for the past three years, I still prefer to shoot B&W, color negative and color transparency films in three formats for my artistic image making.
Although I primarily switched to digital a few years ago I still like the film "look" even when scanning my older slides and negatives whether medium format or 35mm. I definitely will try the new Ektar film.
The conversation of Film vs Digital must also include the Camera. There are some Film Cameras that I've used for 40+ years that I know I'll always get the photograph with. Their dependability have earned my respect. Digital Cameras get the job done but I have no passion or commitment to them.

Wow. I've been gone long. xD I have done other stuff, though. I used to be a Moderator on PokéBattlers, but it shut down. Now, I'm a staff member in PokéFarm if any of you have heard of it. I used to be a Super Mod, but I resigned after an obsessive admin thought I should pay more attention to PF than school. She was de-admined later. Long story. I was then asked by the root administrator two days ago to return and I agreed, so I'm a Moderator now. Anyway, hi. lol. I was actually convinced to come back by Zebeedoo.
So, uh... I guess I'd better recheck the rules.

On her 16th birthday, the Pakistani schoolgirl Malala Yousafzai addressed a special UN youth assembly and urged the world leaders to ensure the right to education for all children. Malala appeared publicly for the first time since October 2012 when she was shot in the head by Taliban extremists while on her way to school due to her passionate campaigning for girls' rights. After the shooting, she was brought to the UK to receive treatment and currently lives in Birmingham in England.
In her speech at the UN, Malala said her attackers failed to stop her in her fight for girls' right to education, adding that they have made her even more determined to continue with the campaigning. She told the UN assembly that education is the strongest weapon against the extremists.
Malala who was wearing a pink shawl of the Pakistani stateswomen and politician Benazir Bhutto (assassinated in 2007) continued that she wants education for every boy and girl, including children of the Talibans as well as children of extremists and terrorists. She concluded her speech with a call to the world leaders to ensure education for all children, adding that education must come first and that education is the only way to change the world. Malala also presented a petition that was signed by over 3 million people to the UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, demanding the right to go to school for every child.
The former UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown (now acting as the UN Special Envoy for Global Education) who opened the special UN session told the assembly of 500 young people aged from 12 to 25 that they are the "new superpower" and called them to help the efforts to ensure education for all children worldwide. He said that with a joint effort, getting every boy and girl to school by year 2015 is possible, adding that Malala and other young people who are fighting for the right to eduction think that it's possible too.
According to children's charity organizations UNESCO and Save the Children, access to education remains a major issue, especially for young women as primary school hasn't been completed by an estimated 25 percent of girls around the world. The charity organizations also highlighted the issue of women's education in Malala's native Pakistan which is among the countries with the lowest rates of both girls' enrollment in school and female literacy as well as government funding of education.
Malala Yousafzai Continues Her Campaign for Girls' Rights.

Released: Jan 29th, 2008
Running Time: 171 Min.
Director: John Leslie
Companies: John Leslie Productions, Evil Angel
Cast: Titus Steel, Tee Reel, Keeani Lei, Jasmine Rouge, Zenza Raggi, Dee (I), Mr. Pete, Marco Banderas, Erik Everhard, Mick Blue, Kaci Starr (I), Michael Stefano, Roxy DeVille, Chelsie Rae
Critical Rating: AAAA
Genre: Gonzo
Perhaps not one of John Leslie's strongest movies, but the guy still has a good eye for capturing porn.
However, what is a woman's "jack," and why would anyone want to "crack" it? It's sort of mystifying.
The scenes are all strong, and it's nice to see porn veteran Dee back in the saddle.
The rest of the cast isn't bad either. In particular, the three-way scene between Roxy DeVille, Chelsie Rae and Marco Banderas stands out.
Overall, this is a fine, workmanlike effort from Leslie. He can deliver better, but even when he's off, he's still better than most shooters.
Pre-nom: Best Three-way Scene: Roxy DeVille, Chelsie Rae, Marco Banderas.
Retailing: The jacks get cracked ... stock for fans of John Leslie.

Geschwind syndrome
|Part of a series on
Spiritual experience
Spiritual development
Geschwind syndrome, also known as Gastaut-Geschwind, is a group of behavioral phenomena evident in some people with temporal lobe epilepsy. It is named for one of the first individuals to categorize the symptoms, Norman Geschwind, who published prolifically on the topic from 1973 to 1984.[1] There is controversy surrounding whether it is a true neuropsychiatric disorder.[2] Temporal lobe epilepsy causes chronic, mild, interictal (i.e. between seizures) changes in personality, which slowly intensify over time.[1] Geschwind syndrome includes five primary changes; hypergraphia, hyperreligiosity, atypical (usually reduced) sexuality, circumstantiality, and intensified mental life.[3] Not all symptoms must be present for a diagnosis.[2] Only some people with epilepsy or temporal lobe epilepsy show features of Geschwind syndrome.[4]
Hypergraphia is the tendency for extensive and compulsive writing, and has been observed in Temporal Lobe Epilepsy patients who have had multiple seizures.[5] Those with hypergraphia have extreme attention to detail in their writing. Some patients keep diaries and write down meticulous details about their everyday lives. In certain cases, the writing of patients has demonstrated extreme interest in religious topics. Also, these individuals tend to have poor penmanship. The novelist Fyodor Dostoyevsky showed symptoms of Geschwind syndrome, including hypergraphia.[6]
Some individuals may exhibit increased, usually intense, religious feelings and philosophical interests,[7] and partial (temporal lobe) epilepsy patients with frequent numinous-like auras have greater ictal and interictal spirituality.[8] Some seizures include ecstatic experiences.[9] It has been reported that many religious leaders exhibit this form of epilepsy.[10][11] These religious feelings can motivate beliefs within any religion, including Voodoo,[12] Christianity, Islam,[13] and others. There are reports of patients converting between religions.[14] A few patients internalize their religious feelings: when asked if they are religious they say they are not.[15] One reviewer concluded that the evidence for a link between temporal lobe epilepsy and hyperreligiosity "isn't terribly compelling."[16]
Atypical sexuality[edit]
People with Geschwind syndrome reported higher rates of atypical or altered sexuality.[17] In approximately half of individuals hyposexuality (i.e. decreased libido) is reported.[18][19] Cases of hypersexuality have also been reported.[20]
Individuals that demonstrate circumstantiality (or Viscosity) tend to continue conversations for a long time and talk receptively.[21]

I've got a handful of VGA video cables. Is there a way to know which (if any) are UXGA cables? Is there a certain marking on the cable jacket I should look for, besides "UXGA" of course :) ?
Although "VGA" technically means 800x600 resolution, the term "VGA cable" does not connote the resolution that the cable supports.
All your VGA cables should support UXGA (and higher) resolution.

Re: zoom 9002 - replaced caps - now won't power up
I purchased a 9002 on ebay and it arrived with the accursed charge pump failure. Seller offered to refund, but I love these little guys and I hate to see 'em die. Still working on it, but Mark - you are so right about the traces on the board - they lift by barely touching them. Fortunately, there are holes for soldering the new caps, but you've really got to take note of the positions and gently desolder the old ones out like a surgeon. Also, there is another electrolytic cap on the board above, such that when you are about to close the unit, it interferes with closure - you may need to check and re-check it before you finally drive those screws home.
Thanks to Mark for his detailed guide on how to bring back to life the 9002,I´ve done it with mine(caps replacement only) and now is baddest than ever!;greetings from Barcelona-Spain- to all the retro-tech maniacs.
Re: zoom 9002 - replaced caps - sounds good
Well, it's up and running. Thanks to everyone, esp. Mark for posting this excellent repair. If these are the symptoms of your non-functional 9002, you could do worse than give $5 worth of parts a try. DO follow all instructions you see here, making note of anything that can further damage the unit, and DON'T try this unless you are very patient, good with a soldering iron, and have a decent knowledge of circuit board layout. You may need to move the large capacitor on the top board to make room for the new (and certainly better) capacitors.
Cheers, and good luck to all!

Hi there,
I'm designing my first wordpress theme and would like to have my post title <h2> to be positioned under my image.
For the record, I'll have an image for each post, and the way I've designed the blog, It needs to be positioned below the image.
I guess I can try that using CSS, but wonder if there was a easier way around like in drupal.
my code is:
<?php the_content(''); ?>
<?php the_title(); ?>
In the example above, the title is below the image, but ALSO below the paragraph that accompany the image. I want:
- image
- title
- paragraph
Is it possible?
Many thanks

colleague, Auckland deep-water diving specialist Dr Simon
Mitchell, is believed to be the deepest dive in the lake.
A second attempt is to be made this weekend.
Retrieving the engine is something Mr Day wants to do for his
newly-adopted community and the Wallis family, which is
spearheading the retrieval attempts.
Getting the engine back would have meaning for Mr Saxton's
family and friends, as well as help Transport Accident
Investigation Commission inspectors complete their report
into the November 1 accident, Mr Day said.
"The reality is, I am a recent arrival and very junior member
of the community and it is nice to be able to give something
back," he said.
Mr Day and his wife Karen intend to move permanently to their
Mt Barker home after their youngest son finishes school this
In November, navy and police dive squads refused to put a
diver 74m below the lake surface because regulations did not
allow the use of mixed gases.
But they could not afford a commercial-scale exercise with
decompression chamber and dive bell.
Nevertheless, the navy and police were able to retrieve Mr
Saxton's body and some pieces of helicopter using a
remotely-operated vehicle and a "Kiwi number-eight wire" hook
invention by local diver Brent Pihama.
Recent changes in breathing apparatus computer technology
meant the deep dive could now be done recreationally by
skilled divers, without the costs of a commercial operation,
Mr Day said.
The Saxton engine dive required the same research and
planning as a treasure hunt, before Dr Mitchell was sent
down, Mr Day said.
In the Auckland Islands, the water was not so deep but it was
cold, remote and rough.
The challenges in Wanaka were the depth of the lake and the
altitude, putting extra pressure on Dr Mitchell.
He carried a mixture of helium and oxygen in tanks, with
three different computer systems mixing it.
If the computers "disagreed" about the gas mixture, they were
programmed to go with a "majority decision".
If that system failed, Dr Mitchell had a manual mixing system
with him.

|Lucic-Krejci-Horton line surfaces
|09.24.10 at 12:45 pm ET
The Bruins split up into two groups that featured members of both of this preseason's squads. Tim Thomas and Tuukka Rask both took the ice, which is encouraging as we keep an eye on just how many days off Thomas gets as he recovers from offseason hip surgery.
Though it's still preseason and the team likely isn't done trying things out, the top two lines on the ice friday were Lucic-Krejci-Horton and Seguin-Bergeron-Recchi. It's very difficult to imagine those not being the top two lines on Oct. 9 when the team opens the season in Prague against the Coyotes.
The other lines out there on Friday morning consisted of Gregory Campbell, Jamie Arniel and Brian McGrattan, as well as Jordan Caron, Ryan Spooner, and Max Sauve.
|Having lost in poker, Krejci puts extra work toward the wrist
|09.16.10 at 12:57 pm ET
WILMINGTON — The six Bruins skaters that showed up to the final captain's practice only had one target to shoot on, but David Krejci didn't wait for Nolan Schaefer or the rest of his teammates to take the ice. Krejci, still recovering from surgery on his right wrist, made the ice his driving range early on Thursday, taking a crate of pucks and firing an estimated 100 shots against the wall.
The center admitted to having some soreness following the session, but noted that the pain came with the increased workload.
"My average is five shots at most a game," Krejci said. "I took a hundred today."
He took mostly wrist shots, and by the time he'd moved onto slap shots, his teammates had joined him on the ice and they broke into a very relaxed session of light offensive drills.
Asked what he made of the poor turnout, Krejci pointed to Friday's early wakeup call for fitness testing as a reason why players would be wise to rest up. The Bruins have been keeping busy between the voluntary practice sessions, Monday's golf tournament, and Marco Sturm's poker tournament Wednesday night.
"I lost badly," Krejci said of the poker tournament. With it being set up as having one Bruin per table, Krejci was fortunate that none of his teammates could knock him out. Krejci said ultimately he wasn't concerned with winning, but that the poker players that showed up for the $250 buy-in definitely varied in skill level. The event, which featured over a dozen Bruins including Zdeno Chara, Patrice Bergeron, and Tuukka Rask, benefitted the Franciscan Hospital for Children.
|Light turnout for Thursday's captains practice
|at 10:31 am ET
WILMINGTON — Captain's practice continued for the Bruins veterans Thursday morning, but the attendance numbers were way down. A typical session has seen somewhere between 15 and 20 skaters with at least two goalies, but Thursday just seven guys on the ice total. They consisted of Nathan Horton, Gregory Campbell, Dennis Seidenberg, Andrew Ference, Blake Wheeler, David Krejci, and goaltender Nolan Schaefer. Krejci was the first one on the ice, and he spent the first few minutes out there with a crate of pucks taking wrist shots against the boards.
|No longer setting off metal detectors, David Krejci is 'days' away from being 100 percent
|09.13.10 at 1:34 pm ET
BOLTON — David Krejci took a few minutes to talk about his wrist, the Bruins' much-anticipated Prague trip, and, of course, the links on Monday at the team's annual golf tournament at The International in Bolton.
"I can skate, so I can golf," Krejci said with a grin. The center suffered an ugly injury in the Eastern Conference semifinals when he separated his right wrist but now has every necessary procedure, including getting screws removed, in the rear view mirror.
The 24-year-old said throughout the summer that he would be fine for training camp, and he confirmed as much on Monday.
"It's really close. Really close," Krejci said. "We're talking about days [until] it's going to be 100 percent. I don't think it's 100 percent right now, but it's really close."
Krejci participated in captain's practice last week at Ristuccia Arena in Wilmington. Though he was still getting a feel then, he said Monday that by the time camp officially opens he'll be able to say he's totally healed.
"It still [hurts a little]. I can feel it sometimes when I shoot, [but] I can shoot almost 100 percent," Krejci said. "By the camp, I think I'll be [better]."
It's been four weeks by Krejci's estimation since he started putting the wrist through the usual trials. Though he's piecing everything together in the days leading up to Friday, he's seen enough encouraging signs to know he'll be good to train with his teammates and use the preseason to ready himself for his third year in the league.
"I can stickhandle fine. My motion's there. I have no problem with that. It's a little weaker, but I've been working on it the last four weeks," Krejci said. "I'm getting the muscle back, so I should be fine by the [time the] season comes."
Here are a couple unusual notes from Krejci's chat:
– He's excited to walk through metal detectors at the airport with confidence. Because of the screws in his wrist that were removed about a month ago, he constantly set off the machines in his travels.
"They checked me completely," Krejci said of security. "It wasn't fun, but it is what it is."
– Maybe reading too much into a city before travelling there can be a bad thing. Asked if cab drivers in Prague were as difficult to deal with as this would suggest, Krejci said they were fine in Prague, but not necessarily in the neighboring towns. He did note that taxis aren't as frequently utilized over there and that "you can't just go in the street and stop one."
|Michael Ryder expected to return to Bruins
|at 12:50 pm ET
BOLTON — The Bruins and friends teed off for their golf tournament at The International, meaning practically all of the players were available to chat Monday morning in Bolton. Though David Krejci gave WEEI.com some good tips on dealing with cab drivers in Prague, the most interesting player to speak may have been his winger in Michael Ryder.
"I'm anxious to get started this year. Last year was disappointing, especially the way it ended," Ryder said. "I think especially regular season too I think will be a lot better. There are things we have to improve on this year and hopefully we can do that."
It's no secret that Ryder was among the players who took the brunt of criticism when the Bruins offense stalled for the entire season. As a result, and with him entering the final year of a three-year deal, many wondered whether Ryder and his $4 million cap hit would be back this season.
"It happens everywhere you go," Ryder, who seemed genuinely unfazed by the offseason speculation said. "After the season there's always going to people talking and saying things [regarding] who should go where, and whatever, but you've got to forget about it and concentrate on starting off the season."
Bruins general manager Peter Chiarelli rained on the parade of angry fans who wanted Ryder gone when he said early in the offseason that the team would not be buying the final year of Ryder's deal out. He pointed to an off-year for the winger, who said he "expected to be back" with the team. Ryder admits that coming off a 27-goal season in 2008-09, his 18-goal showing last season was a letdown and he accepts whatever negative chatter comes with it.
"The whole team didn't score goals last year. We had a hard time putting the puck in the net in the regular season," Ryder said. "When you're looked at to score goals and the team's not scoring, you're one of the guys that's under the gun. I kind of accept that and I've just got to try to find ways to make that happen."
Ryder remains a possible victim of the salary cap. The team will be approximately $3.5 million over the $59.4 million mark once Marco Sturm returns from long-term injury status. Asked if he felt he considers each practice and game from here on out an "audition," Ryder expressed confidence in his role with the Bruins.
"I know I'm still part of this team," he said. "I've just got to go out and prove that I belong here."
|Krejci on the wrist, the wing, and the rumors
|07.23.10 at 7:17 pm ET
In this offseason, just about anybody on the Bruins could speak to media members and have their hands full. After all, with big names added, bigger expectations for the upcoming season, and enormous questions about the roster, a Q and A could go on for hours if both sides have the time. Make that player a young star recovering from a playoff-ending injury and it's no different.
Center David Krejci took some time to speak with reporters after signing autographs for youngsters at the first Bruins summer camp on Friday. He first fielded questions from kids who took part in the camp. After handling such toughies as, "What position do you play?" and, "Who broke your wrist?" Krejci put aside the youngster's mispronunciation of Prague ("Praig" was a good one) and touched on his offseason, the state of the Bruins, and his excitement to be 100 percent again.
Krejci will have his final procedure for what is hopefully a long time next Friday when he has the screws removed from his right wrist, which was broken by Mike Richards in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference semifinals against the Flyers. Though the first surgery on the wrist happened under unfortunate and unusual circumstances, Krejci is far less concerned with this one.
"They're not even going to put me to sleep, they're just going to make little holes in each side and just take the screws out and that's how it is," Krejci said.
The 24-year-old actually spoke rather highly of getting the screws removed, as their absence will leave just his large scar as the only evidence of the injury that shook the Bruins' postseason.
"I can't wait for [the surgery], because after it, a week or two after it, I'll go on the ice and I'll be able to start lifting heavy weights and I'm really excited for it," Krejci said. "It's been a long time and I can't wait to go out there and get back on the ice and just back in the games and everything."
While Krejci's wrist has been a popular topic in the offseason, perhaps nothing in the last week or so has grabbed more attention more than the status of right wing and Krejci's good friend Blake Wheeler. The two-year veteran filed earlier this month for arbitration, and by the looks of things, that's where the process is headed.
Agent Matt Keator, who represents Wheeler and defensemen Mark Stuart and Zdeno Chara, told WEEI.com Friday that the only update on the situation is that the "tickets for Toronto [the site of his Tuesday arbitration hearing] are booked." The two sides have not made progress in trying to avoid arbitration. Wheeler is currently on his honeymoon and therefore might not be hung up on his contractual status, but a question regarding whether Krejci and Wheeler have kept in touch yielded an interesting answer.
"We're pretty good friends, and yeah, we talk once in a while. I just went to visit [him] a couple weeks ago. I went to his place in Minnesota, but I'm not going to say anything," Krejci said. "We're friends and whatever we talk [about], it's just between me and him."
While something is bound to happen with Wheeler, whether he be re-signed prior to Tuesday, granted or declined what the arbiter awards him. The same can't be said for center Marc Savard, who has been the centerpiece of the rumor mill around Boston. With Tyler Seguin in tow, the Bruins have a surplus of high-level center icemen but not enough money to sign all 22 men for their roster (Seguin and Wheeler remain without contracts. What does Krejci make of the talk that's out there?
"I have actually no idea. I have no idea, that's all I can tell you," Krejci said of Savard. "I don't know what's going to happen. I don't know that he's getting traded or whatever [rumors] say. I have no idea. He's with us right now and that's how it is.
"You want to see the best players, the good players, the good guys in the dressing room," he added. "We want them to be back, and he belongs to one of these categories and you want him back."
The one thing Krejci does seem to have the utmost confidence in is his return to the ice. Though he has yet to skate this offseason, he noted that he doesn't skate during the offseason anyway. After his surgery he will head home to the Czech Republic for about a month and hit the ice as he gears up for training camp on September 17.
"I'll go on the ice mid-August and my wrist might be a little weaker at the beginning of the camp, but we still have like two and a half months before the season starts, so I'll be definitely 100 percent for the first game," Krejci said.
This offseason has seen a lot go right for the Bruins, be it the offensive additions or the buildup to Prague. With Marco Sturm's knee expected to keep him out for a good portion of the season, health remains a factor that shouldn't be overlooked. With Krejci back and ready to go, the team maintains offensive stability that came and went last season. Krejci just hopes the Bruins make it back to the big stage that is the NHL playoffs and have a better result this time.
"We had not many people [believing] in us [last season], but we kind of [snuck] in to the playoffs and I think we were playing great hockey. Whatever happened happened and, you know, these things happen," Krejci said. "We've just got to learn from these mistakes and hopefully it's going to get us stronger and next time we'll be in that position where we'll know what to do."
|Bruins host first annual summer camp
|07.16.10 at 6:36 pm ET
The Bruins announced Friday that they will be hosting their first ever summer hockey camp for young skaters, which they have appropriately named "Boston Bruins Summer Camp." The organization has teamed with Pro Ambitions Hockey to form the camp, which will run from July 19-23 at the Jim Roche Community Ice Arena in West Roxbury.
Each day of the camp, which is designed for youth hockey players ages seven to 14, will feature a different guest. Monday will feature general manager Peter Chiarelli, with Bruins alumni Gord Kluzak and Bob Sweeney on Tuesday, Andy Brickley and assistant coach Geoff Ward on Wednesday, and Ted Donato on Thursday. The camp rounds out on the 23rd with Bruins center David Krejci.

We ordered this notebook in blue for our church, with our new logo and are extremely pleased. Both the product itself and the printing of the logo are very high quality. The pages are sturdy and hold up to any ink used without showing through on the other side. I personally love using mine! We would order again from inkhead without hesitation. They had the product in our hands when they said they would and delivered a top-notch product.

Bath Resurfacing
Over time, any bath will start to show signs of wear and tear and eventually you'll want to do something about it.
Whilst replacing the bath might, initially seem the obvious choice, it comes with it's own set of problems and challenges. Firstly there's the cost of the bath itself, then the old bath needs to be pulled out and the new bath fitted. All this takes time, costs money and often involves actual building work – creating mess and inconvenience.
Resurface – Don't Replace
This is where resurfacing can help. By resurfacing your bath you could save over 60% compared to the cost of replacing your bath as well as not having to worry about complicated messy building work. You can resurface your bath in-situ, without any mess or fuss.

When your shower tray starts to show it's age cracks appear in the surface, small chips become big chips and discolouration appears – it's only a matter of time before something will need to be done.
