The last time we checked in on Austin Freeman he was fresh off an exceptionally efficient freshman year that he struggled to duplicate as a sophomore. The former consensus top-15 recruit got his act together last season despite missing some practice time after being diagnosed with diabetes mid-season, and while Georgetown ended the year with a disappointing upset loss in the first round of the NCAA Tournament to Armon Bassett and the Ohio Bobcats, Freeman found his stroke and enters this season as the preseason Big East Player of the Year. A strong candidate to assume many of the possessions left behind by Greg Monroe, Freeman should have an excellent senior season, but he has some work to do to earn a spot in next summer's draft.
Despite his ability to score in bunches and put up gaudy efficiency numbers as a second-option on the college level, Freeman is undersized for a shooting guard and lacks the wingspan that would make his height less concerning. Built more like a fullback than a shooting guard, Freeman is able to bully his way to the basket at the college level and uses his strength exceptionally well once he clears his man's hip. He is deceptively quick for a player of his build, but he plays below the rim, lacks lateral quickness, and doesn't have ideal physical tools for a NBA shooting guard, limiting his upside.
As it stands, Freeman's lack of ideal athleticism is the biggest obstacle hindering him from being an intriguing prospect. He brings plenty to the table offensively. His value on that end the floor starts with his jump shooting ability. After seeing his three point percentage dip from the 40% he shot as a freshman to 30% as a sophomore, Freeman bounced back in a big way as a junior to the tune of a 44.4% mark from distance. Ranking highly in both three point percentage and true shooting amongst players in our database, the Dematha HS was at his best last season when he could set his feet on the perimeter and using his mechanically sound shooting form and quick release to make opposing defenses pay from beyond the arc.
Capable of putting up big scoring numbers on any given night, Freeman has developed some offensive tools that complement his shooting very well at the college level. His exceptional basketball IQ and physical strength make him a threat off the dribble as well. Adept at taking what a defender gives him, Freeman is a decent shooter off the dribble, and is fairly prolific taking one-dribble pull ups from inside the arc, but struggles to convert short range jumpers when he can't get to the rim. Using simple straight line drives and not attempting to get fancy, Freeman got to the basket at a good rate last season, and while he doesn't get to the line at a good rate, he shot a very respectable 63.6% as a finisher.
Defensively, Freeman uses his strength well to deny penetration, but struggles against quicker players and doesn't change directions well enough to keep up with dynamic ball-handlers. He competes and has solid fundamentals, which gets him by for the most part at the college level, but doesn't add much against quicker high-major guards and doesn't project well to the next level.
Freeman's value as a NBA player resides in his ability to knock down shots from the perimeter and play low-mistake basketball. As we've noted in the past, he simply isn't a high upside player. A sound passer who can work off of screens and stretch the floor, Freeman is very much a known commodity at this point. Scouts are familiar with his game and his limitations, but width a big season, he could earn some buzz. A potential Portsmouth Invitational invitee, Freeman might not be an elite prospect, but he's poised to be a key player for one of Big East's best teams.
Like many freshman, Freeman had a debut season in which he showed flashes of brilliance mixed with periods of inconsistency. Through the good and the bad, he remained one of the more efficient freshman in the season, combining an outstanding field goal percentage with above average decision making for a shooting guard. The departure of seniors Roy Hibbert and Jonathan Wallace, along with the transfer of Jeremiah Rivers will open up plenty of opportunity for Freeman on the offensive end.
Size isnt on Freemans side, given that he is 64 and not especially long. His athleticism has suffered a bit since his high school days with some of the weight he has gained, reportedly weighing around 235 pounds last season. A strong player for his size, he utilizes his strength on both ends of the hardwood to its fullest capabilities.
The main selling point on Freeman as a prospect is his ability to shoot the ball from the perimeter. He is perfectly comfortable shooting the ball off of the dribble, from a static position, or on the move with the same effortless motion. The D.C. native has some serious range that extends out to the NBA three point line, but also possesses a nice pull-up game from mid-range to keep defenders honest.
Freeman is fairly limited in terms of ball handling skills and owns a quite average first step. However, he has proven to be a capable slasher on occasion because of his high basketball IQ and sturdy body. It was not uncommon to see the sophomore barrel his way into the lane and finish (with either hand) once or twice a game against taller defenders, while absorbing contact.
There is a considerable amount of room for improvement on the defensive end for Austin. Struggling guarding shooting guards, he often was asked to guard the opposing teams small forward last year, despite being only 64. He just didnt seem to have the foot speed to keep up with quicker swingmen, whereas he was able to rely upon his strength a little more when guarding small forwards.
Certainly not a player who is going to blow anyone away with his NBA upside, Freeman is a player who appears to be on pace to put up some solid scoring numbers over the remainder of his career. Though he will likely finish his collegiate career as the primary option for Georgetown, he will have to obviously adjust his game if he hopes to stick around the NBA. Regardless, we are looking at a very productive freshman who has plenty of time to prove himself to NBA personnel.
Although not quite as productive as some of his McDonalds All-American counterparts, Austin Freeman is nonetheless having an excellent freshman season, playing an important starting role for one of the best teams in the NCAA, and doing so with incredible efficiency.
Known as a scorer in high school, Freeman has done very little to disprove that notion so far, averaging just under 10 points per game in 24 minutes while shooting an incredible 59% from the field and over 42% from behind the 3-point line. Freeman seems to have made an extremely wise choice with the college he chose for himself, as he has both found himself plenty of minutes right off the bat in his college career playing at the very highest level of competition, but also fits in like a glove in John Thompson IIIs system, making it easy for him to adjust to the college game so quickly.
Although hes somewhat undersized for the shooting guard position at 6-4, Freeman possesses a strong build, which he uses to the fullest. Hes not an explosive player by any means, but uses the tools he has to their fullestnot being forced to go out of his element at this point, and seemingly not having a problem with that from the way hes been playing.
Freemans best attribute as a player and draft prospect (down the road) revolves heavily around his jump-shot. He has picture perfect mechanics, NBA range and an incredibly quick release, to go along with superb confidence to come off a curl and fire away the moment he sees even a glimmer of daylight, even in clutch situations. He moves off the ball intelligently both within Georgetowns rigid half-court offense and also outside of it, finding open spots for himself playing off his teammates post-ups, and being especially deadly if left open in transition, where he gets a good deal of his shot opportunities.
Even though he can get his jumper off quickly, rarely do you see Freeman take a bad shot, as hes incredibly poised and mature for such a young player, which is another reason he seems to have gained the coaching staffs trust so quickly. The fact that hes already one of the most efficient players in the country (ranked first in points per possession and first in true shooting percentage among draft prospects) speaks volumes for that. His jumper seems to lose some accuracy in off the dribble mode, but we havent seen him take enough of these to gauge that with complete confidence.
Although hes somewhat of a one dimensional player for Georgetown here in his freshman season (partially due to Georgetowns system and partially due to his status in their pecking order as an offensive option), Freeman shows some signs of being capable of doing more once hell be called upon later on in his career. Hes a very fundamental offensive player, capable of posting up in the paint (using his very mature body to look for turnaround jumpers), or cutting to the basket for a handoff or back-door cutall staples of this offense.
He finishes very intelligently at the rim as well, utilizing both hands and showing excellent touch and creativity to make up for his lack of explosiveness, along with great strength. Hell also come up with an occasional offensive rebound at times, looking willing to fight inside and having somewhat of a nose for being in the right place at the right time. He doesnt have great size or lateral quickness on the defensive end, but is intelligent and competes on this end of the floor, which if often more than enough at the collegiate level, especially when you have a monster like Roy Hibbert behind you who can quickly erase any mistakes his guards make on the perimeter.
Even though he looks like a superb college player in the making already, there are some doubts that arise when starting to gauge his NBA potentialas early as it might be to start thinking about that. His physical tools cant be considered anything more than below average for an NBA shooting guard, when you look at his height, his average first step, his lack of explosiveness at the rim, and his unimpressive lateral quickness. He could probably still stand to tone up his body to better maximize his physical potential--which will likely help--but hell probably never be considered a prospect with great upside as far as his draft stock is concerned, and thus will have to win over NBA scouts the old fashioned wayby producing and winning. There are many players in his mold (think David Wesley, Voshon Lenard) who have made fantastic careers in the NBA, so hes surely someone to keep an eye on considering the many different things he brings to the table, even if he isnt your prototypical early-entry candidate.
Austin Freeman lived up to his reputation as a player that can score in bunches here, remaining quiet for most of the game, then going on a tear late in the game over a seven or eight minute period, scoring the vast majority of his points during that timespan. Freeman scored twice in the first half, once on a nice hesitation dribble driving left, in which he laid the ball off the glass with his left hand, and the other on a buzzer-beater running three-pointer from about 35 feet out to end the half, banking it off the glass.
In the second half, Freeman went on a tear late, scoring on a bunch of right-handed drives, mostly by getting separation through screens and having a straight-line to the hoop, but occasionally creating separation for himself and faking to get his man off balance for the shot attempt. He also converted on a back-door lay-up off a pass down low, and hit a fade-away jumper from eight feet off a stray rebound. Freeman missed on a few contested and off-balanced mid and long-range shots throughout the game, and his shot selection is something he might want to pay closer attention to when he isnt very hot. Freeman went on some really hot streaks shooting the long ball in shootarounds during the practices in the days before the games, but wasnt able to show off much of his outside shooting ability in the main event.
The next in the line of great Dematha HS products was excellent in the scrimmage session that the East squad conducted during Monday mornings practice session. He just finds ways to put the ball through the hoop, whether it be through his underrated outside shooting ability or his knack for finishing inside with his outstanding strength. Freeman put on quite the show in the Powerade Jam Fest, considering his thin build, making Kevin Durants description of Austins quiet bounce completely accurate.[Read Full Article]
Freeman had a quiet 25 points in his matchup against the oft-out of control Antonio Jardine. While Jardine took control of the action for his team from tip-off, Freemen quietly picked his spots until the close of the game, where he began to be more aggressive.
Freeman has a beautiful shot, its smooth and effortless. He is a much better shooter on the catch-and-shoot or spot up than he is on the pull up, but is effective on both. Freemen also has great strength for a 2 guard. He doesnt get knocked off his stride easily by contact and is able to finish shots in the paint while in motion without losing his soft touch.
Freeman seems to be pretty active on the glass as well. He followed his own misses on a number of occasions and was able to fight inside amongst taller players to secure the possession. Defensively, hes got quick hands, but is more active when his opponent is in motion than he is playing him straight up. Freeman is a shooter for sure, but he recognizes when the shot is not there and has good peripheral vision to find the open man once hes drawn defensive help. He and Chris Wright should make a nice tandem in Georgetowns backcourt next season, especially with Roy Hibbert and Jeff Green inside.
Freeman was the leading scorer on a DC Assault squad loaded with four of the top 25 players in the nation. He showed all fans in attendance why hes rated as one of the elite shooting guards in the country with us deep three point range, strong finishing ability, and great strength. The Georgetown recruit is seemingly on anytime hes on the court, as he can score from virtually anywhere on the floor. In terms of weaknesses, its a rarity to see Austin exert much effort on the defensive end, due to the fact that hes so concerned with scoring. He does however have all of the tools to become a good defender, and Im sure the Hoya coaching staff will make that a point of emphasis.
Its a bit tough to get an accurate feel for players on DC Assault due to the fact that they have so many of the nations top players, but Freeman seems to always put up the most points of the group. Its going to be interesting to see how he accepts his role at Georgetown, and if hes able to live up to the lofty expectations that many within recruiting circle predict for him as a freshman.

Please don't waste time asking questions on the internet, as the answers may come too late. DO NOT FEED THE ANIMAL, and DO NOT HANDLE IT unless it is in imminent danger. (Many wild "orphans" are not orphans at all!) If you are absolutely sure it is orphaned, keep it warm and quiet, and find a LICENSED WILDLIFE REHABILITATOR HERE. Don't try to raise a baby yourself, or rehabilitate an injured anmal. Many a well-intentioned rescuer will do more harm than good, especially with baby birds and baby rabbits.
Without geographic location, time of day and habitat, I can't help. A clear picture is always best.
It's impossible for me to I.D. an animal call without hearing it myself.
I'm not an expert on comparative strengths of different animals (more complicated than you might think!) nor bite forces.
I refuse to answer "Which of these two animals--X or X--would win in a fight?".
These hypothetical matchups range from impossible (Grizzly Bears and Gorillas don't even occupy the same continent.) to ridiculous (Someone asked me "Who would win a fight between a Great White Shark and a tiger?").
The vast majority of animals--even the fierce and powerful--are not as warlike as Homo sapiens, and it's childish to project our aggressiveness onto them.
I have been the fortunate caregiver to a group of Black-tailed Jackrabbits rescued from the Miami International Airport, and not releasable in this area because they are not native.

This latest outfit is from a 1977 Simplicity pattern. The pants are plain elastic waist pants, which are much wider-legged than modern pairs. The waist is also right at the natural waist, which Grace is not used to.
I think this is the first vintage envelope pattern I've sewn. I'm looking forward to delving into my 1977 Burda magazine soon.

I.A.A.A.M. Potassium Iodide Tablets 100 count Factory fresh and individually sealed in shrink. $30. each http://antiagingforme.org/html/potassium.html US Government Orders 14 Million Doses of Potassium Iodide Huge purchase linked to ongoing Fukushima crisis? Paul Joseph Watson Infowars.com The Department of Health and Human Services has ordered 14 million doses of potassium iodide, the compound that protects the body from radioactive poisoning in the aftermath of severe nuclear accidents, to be delivered before the beginning of February. According to a solicitation posted on the Federal Business Opportunities website, the DHHS asks contractors to supply, potassium iodide tablet, 65mg, unit dose package of 20s; 700,000 packages (of 20s), a total of 14 million tablets. The packages must be delivered on or before February 1, 2014. Potassium iodide helps block radioactive iodine from being absorbed by the thyroid gland and is used by victims of severe nuclear accidents or emergencies. Under current regulations, states with populations living within 10 miles of a nuclear plant are encouraged, but not required, to maintain a supply of potassium iodide. A search of the FedBizOpps website returns no other results regarding the purchase of potassium iodide from any government agency, suggesting that the DHHS bulk buy of the tablets is unprecedented in recent times. The ongoing crisis at the Fukushima nuclear power plant has prompted concerns that the purchase is connected to the threat posed by radioactive debris washing up on the shores of the west coast or the potential for another natural disaster occurring in Japan which could impact the U.S.Governments usually respond to disasters very similarly; first move is to avoid panic, writes The West Wire. The Japanese didn't want to panic the world, or tarnish their honor and now, as a consequence of their reluctance, Japanese citizens and international aid personal find themselves in a horrible state of being. Panic is usually avoided by keeping their citizens as blind to the truth as possible, until confrontation with the truth becomes inevitable. The crucial question at this juncture; would our government be reluctant about warning us of potential disaster, in an attempt to avoid panic? 14 million doses of Potassium Iodide say that might just be the case. Last month it was revealed that 71 U.S. sailors who helped during the initial Fukushima relief efforts are suing the Tokyo Electric Power Co. (TEPCO) after they returned with thyroid cancer, Leukemia, and brain tumors as a result of being exposed to radiation at 300 times the safe level.TEPCO has repeatedly been caught lying in their efforts to downplay the scale of the disaster. In September it was confirmed that radiation readings around the power plant were 18 times higher than previously reported by TEPCO. After a tank leaked 300 tonnes of toxic water in August, groundwater radiation readings at the plant soared to 400,000 becquerels per litre, the highest reading since the nuclear accident occurred in March 2011. Now that radioactive debris is hitting the West Coast of North America, numerous different animals and sea life are suffering from mysterious diseases, including 20 bald eagles that have died in Utah over the last few weeks alone.

Deeplinks Blog posts about Innovation
Back in 2011, This American Life toured an office building in Marshall, Texas, and found eerie hallways of empty offices that serve as the 'headquarters' of patent trolls. For many, that was the first introduction to the strange world of the Eastern District of Texas, its outsized role in patent litigation and especially its effective support of the patent troll business model. Trolls love the Eastern District for its plaintiff-friendly rules, so they set up paper corporations in the district as an excuse to file suit there. Meanwhile, defendants find themselves dragged to a distant, inconvenient, and expensive forum that often has little or no connection to the dispute.
Today, the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit heard arguments in ClearCorrect v. ITC, a case that threatens to give private companies, via agency power, broad ability to censor and regulate the Internet. But this isn't a case about net neutrality. Instead, it's a patent case where the patent owner is asking the Federal Circuit to uphold an agency order banning certain data from entering the United States via the Internet. EFF, along with Public Knowledge, filed an amicus brief in the case arguing that there is no authority allowing this; at least, not the way the patent owner is arguing.
PSA: Shipping and Transit, LLC and Electronic Communication Technologies LLC Are Not New Players To the Patent Troll Game
Have you recently received a patent demand letter or been hit by a lawsuit from either "Shipping and Transit, LLC" or "Electronic Communication Technologies, LLC"? Despite their current SEO-unfriendly names that make it difficult to find information, we want you to know that there's lots of information out there related to these trolls, just under different names.
It is important that those on the receiving end of these trolls' patent demands can find the resources they need. To that end, more information useful against both of these trolls can be found by searching for ArrivalStar (instead of "Shipping and Transit, LLC") or Eclipse IP (instead of "Electronic Communication Technologies LLC"). And even though the names are different, the documents linked below show that for practical purposes the new trolls are closely related to the old trolls.
Recent reports from Congress suggest that patent reform might be taken off the table for the summer. This bad news arrives at the same time as a new study showing that patent trolls are more active than ever before. Opponents of reform are trying derail efforts to tackle trolls by insisting that any legislation must include unnecessary changes to procedures for challenging patents the the Patent Office. We urge Congress to remain focused on the real problem of patent litigation abuse.

|Love This Case
User: Brittany L, Mar 3, 2011
|This case is the best! Its nice and light and feels great in the hand. I use to have this big bulkey mess of a case. With this case I can even fit my phone into my leather holster. A must have! And at a great price!!!!
|Sleek and high quality
User: Jeffrey P, Apr 1, 2010
|I think the product is perfect as far as the fit and it has a great matte black finish. It also comes with a screen protector. Great overall product. Being the internet, I was able to find lower prices for almost identical product so I think the price might be a little high.
|Very Good case with enough protection
User: Carmen C, Feb 22, 2010
|I would recommend this product in black because the paint will not rub off like it does in the colored versions. Other than that it is a very solid and well made case.
|Does the Job!!
User: John S, May 12, 2011
|I bought it to make it more visible to me, as I could never "see" the black phone.. now, its easier to find! Feel is really no different than without a case.. and I can retrieve it from my pocket much easier than the Otter case it replaced. Also, texting is not hindered at all.. again, much easier that the Otter. Glad I put in on.. if only the film on the screen would stay tight on the edge. not sure if I didnt clean it well enough, or if the constant wear of taking it our of my pocket is the culprit in it slowly peeling off.
|Alright case
User: Stacey B, May 17, 2010
|My husband and I bought this case less than a month ago in black. The black matte finished has started peeling off both of our phones already. If that doesnt bother you, the case does fit the phone well and is really thin.

Have been reading Andrei Alexandrescu's book on Generic programming in C++. I've been getting ideas almost of 'Badvogato' proportions...:)
The the thing is...how to relate that to CORBA and IDL. IDL are by nature 'static' interfaces.
Bian McNamara and Yannis Smaragdakis have an interesting paper on oonumerics.org about static interfaces and generic programming that might be of use.
I need a flexable Raster object factory that incorporates Policys and Prototypes. These idioms should allow Berlin to have clear advantage over other environments in terms of flexability and ease of use.
Hope so
Felling better...:)
Wrote a note to Raph.
It's on thing to b*#ch about a policy and quite another to b%$ch and supply a suggested answer.
My answer to the problems of trust metrics:
'Moderated observers' Since observers obstensibly have no right to direct speech here...'Let them have moderation.'
Seems simple...:)
I will forward an article to Raph and let him decide it it's worthy for Advogato...given it's source from one of the 'unworthy'....:)
Can you tell I still don't like trust metrics? ;>
Ok enough of this...
Feeling low...
Why should I care what anyone thinks?!
Seems I find this feature of Advo to be it's best.
I certainly don't expect anyone but myself to acually read this.
So here I am struggling with dependant libraries to add support for MNG to the Berlin server. Have to learn how to build a build system for some of this. But this on top of everything else is tough.
I get so discuraged sometimes.. One might ask why do any of it it if it makes you feel bad...But...It's really that I know what needs to be...what would be really cool...I always see the big picture clearly. But, my skills in making that happen seem so inadiquate.
Funny thing the social aspect of free software projects...
Some of these guys here are so amazing. Like stefan...He can code about as fast as he can think. I get so frustrated and intimidated tho. My own ineptitude....
Well...I don't feel to good about things...but damn it...I said *I'd* do it...and I am. So what if I spend hours and hours doing what someone else might take 30 minutes to do.
Reminds me of when I failed typing class in High School...Smartest fuckin kid in school...failed because I couldn't switch my brain off long enough to just see a letter and hit a key...:/
well I'm tired and need sleep....
Well...I don't really know how well Raph's little trust metric values are working out. Seems all based on fame and reputation. I'd liken it more to a beauty contest or High School election than anything else.
I'm known by a few people here and there <even prepherally by RMS and ESR>. But I will be content to toil in obscurity and if I make a contribution then good.
Here a few things tho:
I don't want anyone to read this and go and certify me.
I won't ask people to certify me either. I did that but once to get this far and felt wierd about 'self promotion'.
Let my diary entries be a protest to the selection <trust metric> system.
If you want to read what I have to say about discussions posted on the front page...look for a diary entry for me on the side.
and those with write permissions that want to comment on what I write just mention 'see arrow's diary entry of <date>'.
I will keep my comments in the form of sub headings in the form of...
Note to the discussion of <blah>:
Ok that's the diary post for today...have a good one everyone

Why AGW is not real:
It is impossible if the oceans are cooling. Ocean heat content is >1000000x than the atmosphere. http://bit.ly/USEOM8
In real science, theories are constantly being tested, but NO, regarding AGW, "the science is settled".
If the assertions (i.e. %u2013 polar bear population decrease) made by AGW advocates were true, they would be backed by hard data, and they are not.
If it were, the prior predictions of global climate computer models based on CO2 would have been correct, and they were not. No one can deny this, but they do anyway.
If it were, ALL climate money would go directly to deep subsidies for solar panels, and it does not. Do the math: everyone could already have them already if the money %u201Cused%u201D to date had been used for that purpose.
If it were, world governments would be building nuclear plants like crazy, and they are not. They produce no CO2 and the newer thorium-based systems are an order of magnitude safer than those built with early technology.
Climate science research goes on (http://bit.ly/SOYJpi ), but to deaf ears of those who are eager to profit from it.

Roland VP-9000
The Roland VP-9000 VariPhrase Processor is a revolutionary sampler/vocal processor. It is a sampler capable of elastic realtime manipulation of pitch, time, and formants via MIDI while maintaining superb sound quality. With the VP-9000 you can instantly match drum loops to the same key and tempo. Or use it to bend notes, change pitches or harmonize and more! It all works in real-time with little artifacts and in a non-destructive environment. Thankfully, the VP-9000 features three large knobs for realtime control over pitch, time, formant, and groove right on the front of the module for realtime tweaking!
The VP-9000 comes with 8MB memory which is expandable to 136MB using optional SIMMs. The VP-9000 is a professional equipped with six analog outputs plus digital I/O in coaxial and optical formats; two SCSI ports for connecting hard drives, Zip drives, and CD-ROM's; internal 250MB Zip drive for storing samples and transferring files to a Mac or PC. There are superb effects built-in as well-reverb, chorus, and multi-effects.
The VP-9000 also features a large icon-based graphic LCD screen for wave editing and simplified operation. Internal resampling capability is great for applying effects to samples over and over, etc. The VP-9000 is also compatible with VP-9000/Roland S-700/Akai S1000/AIFF/.WAV format files for loading sample libraries. The VP-9000's only fault is a limited 6-voices and 6-part multitimbrality. But this could be the best sampler/processor of all time and requires a listen! It is used by Fatboy Slim.
Although the initial operating system was known to have numerous bugs (particularly causing crashes), the release of OS 1.12 fixed these problems (The updated operating system is available from Roland's web site at no charge). The price tag upon release was $3000, a hefty investment considering there are sofware applications that can do (almost) the same thing, but for traditional or electronic musicians that need to take their loops\songs\samples on the road, or for a studio musicians that enjoys a more hands on approach to beat syncronizing or time stretching samples this unit is for you! This unit is also responsible for the now passe 'robot' sound that has popularized popular music as of late (ala Daft Punk, and most R&B artists). No other sampler in the market has the same unique features that the VP-9000 offers.
And with the new V-Producer software package for Mac and PC-compatible you can take full control of your VP-9000! It gives you fully intuitive and handsome graphic interfaces for Phrase Scope Editing, drag-and-drop sequencing of Variphrase samples, 6-channel mixing and effects routing along with MIDI Clock and MTC sync, song export to Standard MIDI File format, batch encoding of .WAV/AIFF files from CD-ROM/hard disk or VP-9000 samples via Zip disk and more!

Both in Italy and Germany, there was a strong musical tradition during the 16th and 17th centuries associated with Christmas; however, each country made use of completely different musical genres. Whereas composers in southern Europe frequently chose a theatrical setting (in Latin) of the already inherently dramatic Christmas story, the extensive repertoire of Christmas carols and songs were the best beloved in countries north of the Alps. Many of the traditional German-language Christmas carols first appeared in the 16th century, or at least were given a new form at that time. Theologists and poets like Martin Luther and Paul Gerhardt had a strong belief in the power of music in the context of personal spirituality and the church service, and produced numerous texts suitable for song settings. Older melodies of pre-Reformation origin were often used for these settings; some were as old as the Middle Ages, and sometimes new melodies were composed. Many of the carols which were created in this way, such as 'In dulci Jubilo', 'O Jesulein s', and 'Es ist ein Ros entsprungen' have become famous in the intervening centuries and have been frequently used as material by later composers.
The tradition of 'Kindelwiegen' (rocking the baby) was widespread in Germany. On the evening of Christmas Day (usually during the Vespers), songs were sung in church in honor of the birth of Christ. Composers including Michael Praetorius and J.S. Bach wrote music for this special occasion. From the 16th century onward there are also records of similar Christmas traditions, frequently with special local variations, in England and the Netherlands. For example, a small doll representing the child Jesus was laid upon the altar, around which the children danced and sang. Sometimes a crche was built to the accompaniment of carol-singing. Or the children rocked their own individual little cradles while singing cradle songs. A rich treasury of Medieval Netherlands Christmas carols has survived, which of course also gave ample treatment to the numerous legends and stories which surrounded the Christmas ceremonies. In the carols, the trembling Christ Child is swaddled in Joseph's stockings, Mary is filled with motherly concern and tenderness, Joseph cooks gruel, and the helpless little child lies in a house without windows and doors, naked on the ground. A 16th century description by Walich Syvaerts is charming: "For you know how on Christmas day they were accustomed to set a little cradle with a Doll inside representing a little child lying in swaddling bands, on the high altar: and that the Parents led their children into the church with a little cradle and a bell: and as the Priest, during the Mass, began to rock the little child upon the altar and sing 'Eia, eia, eia'....and so the children then began each to rock his own little child and sing 'eia', making thereby a great noise and ringing their bells so that the whole church was filled thereby: while the organ, playing in a special fashion, helped to ornament their play". Particularly during the first 30 years of the 17th century, several specific episodes from the Christmas story were especially popular with Italian composers. For example, the Annunciation, the appearance of the angels of the shepherds, and the visit of the Magi in Bethlehem were among their favorites. And almost without exception, the dialogue was their favorite genre. Just like an opera, a musical dialogue has a cast of characters, and there is sometimes a narrator.
More than 500 17th century dialogues have survived, most of them from Italy but also a respectable number from France, the Netherlands, Poland, Germany, and England. The texts which were used were generally not liturgical but could be inserted into the liturgy, for example as substitute texts for the Gradual or Offertory of the Mass, or one of the Vesper antiphons. Usually the dialogues were performed by small ensembles, varying from two to five singers and an equal number of instrumentalists. In addition to a few well- known names like Carissimi and Grandi, there are many otherwise unknown masters such as Fergusio, Grossi, and Cozzolani who composed dialogues. Strictly speaking, the scene of the apparition to the shepherds is a dialogue. After the angel's announcement of his joyful tidings and his departure, the shepherds speak with one another. Italian composers had no real trouble with this and treated the subject with considerable freedom. Characters and details were added or exchanged, the sequence of events was altered, and the characters showed their own emotions. These characteristics made the dialogues into very animated works, and explains the great popularity of the genre during the 17th century. Jos van Veldhoven Translation: David Shapero

Angels & Shepherds a 17th Century Christmas
The current Choir of the Netherlands Bach Society was founded in 1983 and consists of about twenty singers. Most of them have completed vocal studies at one of the Netherlands conservatories. They have all become specialists in the performance of vocal music of the 17th and 18th centuries. The CD of the St. Matthew Passion under the direction of Jos van Veldhoven, a live recording from 1997 in honor of the 75th anniversary of the Netherlands Bach Society, received extremely favorable reviews. The solo ensemble Cappella Figuralis was founded in 1989 by Jos van Veldhoven and performs under the auspices of The Netherlands Bach Society. As was usually the custom in the 17th and 18th centuries, the ensemble almost always performs in a one-on-a-part disposition, varying from a total of two to ten singers and an equal number of instrumentalists. Most of the musicians in Cappella Figuralis have also acquired considerable individual reputations outside of the ensemble.

I haven't tried this recipe yet but read some of the review. Some people are complaining about the white vinegar- I would suggest trying fish sauce. it's great alternative and adds lots of great flavour. Also, instead of water try using coconut milk! adds richness and won't drown out the flavour at all :) hope this helps
Wow was this salty! Even with reduced sodium soy sauce and natural peanut butter made of just peanuts. I am someone who loves salt on my food. I prefer a visible layer of salt on each bite of food. Seriously. But this was CRAZY salty. I think I know why. I'm very sensitive to sweetness in non-dessert food(I can't buy bread in the grocery store because it's always noticeably sweet - gross) so I cut the sugar back to one teaspoon. Without the sugar to balance all the salt from the soy sauce this was like liquidy salty peanut butter. Even having used full-fat coconut milk instead of water like others suggested. If you are sugar conscious and want to reduce the sugar, you will need to cut way back on the soy sauce too. I ended up adding some lemongrass and upping the ginger to brighten the flavor, which helped, but if I make this again, I'll use half the soy sauce.
this is probably the best spicy peanut sauce i've ever made, and i've tried at least half a dozen recipe before this. i find that the balance of flavors is nearly perfect -- while most recipes are a bit heavy on the peanut taste, no one particular flavor dominates this sauce. the only caveat i will note is that it's really not that spicy. i personally ended up using about a full teaspoon of red pepper flakes and, IMO, it was still only mildly spicy. but i like my food REALLY spicy. so i just ended up putting some sriracha in my lettuce wraps as well. :) also, i used probably 3 cloves of garlic vs one, but i still didn't really taste it. i didn't have any scallions, having used all of mine in the recipe i'll share below, but this sauce was still great and i can't wait to make it with either scallions or shallots next time. i used this sauce for thai lettuce wraps, which i prepared as follows: - 4 fileted chicken breasts, slow-cooked in the crock pot or oven with ginger, tamari, sesame oil, minced fresh garlic, and a bit of olive oil - a thai salad containing: 1 seedless cucumber, peeled, halved lengthwise, and thinly sliced on an angle 2 cups bean sprouts (which you can find bagged in the produce department of most grocery stores) 1 cup shredded carrots (which can also be found bagged in most produce departments) 3 scallions, sliced on an angle 12 fresh basil leaves, chopped 4 sprigs' worth of fresh mint leaves, chopped 1 tbsp sesame seeds 2 tsp sugar 1 tbsp white vinegar and then i wrapped it all up in chard leaves. NOM NOM!!! however, the salad is so outstandingly delicious, that this would be just as good without the chard. you could just as easily take the shredded chicken and put it atop a bed of the salad drizzled with sauce. YUMMO!
This is my once a week go to recipe for a good vegetarian meal. I use it over any vegetable stir fry and rice. It is an excellent sauce over boiled collard greens. I use Braggs Liquid Aminos instead of soy sauce and fresh hot peppers whenever possible instead of dried red peppers. I use only peanut butter ground from fresh peanuts. Fantastic!
After trying at least 10 different peanut sauce recipes from different Thai cookbooks and other internet sources, this is our absolute favorite. I have been making this recipe since 1999 and still get wonderful comments from guests. The only thing I do differently is that I use shallot instead of scallions. Enjoy.
I am still not satisfied in my search for the ultimate peanut sauce. This was good, though I don't know that it needed the brown sugar. I followed the recipe exactly and was surprised that so many people complained about the addition of water. Without water (or some sort of liquid) it would've been like toothpaste... way too thick! I agree that coconut milk or chicken broth could be used as a thinning agent, but I always (almost always) try the recipe as written first before I modify. I used it as a sauce for a noodle dish with veggies and chicken and it worked nicely. The thicker version would be great as a dip or for chicken satay.
This recipe provides a great framework for a wonderful rich sauce. Adjust it to your liking. Double the recipe - it's wonderful on salads, veggies, protein as well as noodles. I use broth instead of water and amount depends on style of peanut butter used. A keeper!
I don't what I was thinking when I followed the recipe's instructions for 1 cup of water--that's way too much! The flavor was good, but if I make it again I will add water a little bit at a time until it's perfect, as I have in the past.
I rarely give a recipe a bad review, but the white vinegar ruins the flavor in this sauce and there is no fixing this after the fact. I am always trying new recipes for peanut sauce, and this was a serious disappointment. I agree with other reviewers: half the liquid, white wine as opposed to water, and a rice wine viengar would have produced a better result.
Hard to mess this up if you use good/authentic ingredients. I used Thai fish sauce (nam pla) instead of soy sauce. Definitely don't use a cup of water. I used HOT water, less than half a cup. You can always thin a final dish out, but it's hard to "thick it up". Remember, when anything calls for plain vinegar, you can always use lemon or lime juice. Tastes much better.

Didn't go to church today. My friend never came to pick me up. That's the problem with not having a car, you never know if your going to be stranded. Oh well, at least I'm here and ready to get some stuff done today. Time to fine up the gimp, Synedit, a browser and get going.
Source Forge is still not letting me log in!!! I don't want to bite the hand that feeds me but, it's not feeding... Sourceforge has all these supposed super servers and they can't get a simple thing like web- based login working? What's wrong with them? Is it my side? Do I have to use telnet just to log-in? No point to all this maddness. It's stuff like this that makes more projects just kinda dwindle away.I'm staying strong though.
Well. Now I have a project idea, now all I need is a name.
The Name:System 17
System 7 would be better but, it would have copyright issues with Apple. Now how to type it. (By the way these are my thoughts in natural streams, lightly formated for syntax)
System17-Pretty cool with no space. Kinda distinctive but, kinda overdone.
system17-Liking the lowercase but, somehow, it doesn't quite work for me with the no space.
system 17- Lowercase works. But........... No.
System 17-Seems like some big important project.
System17. Good enough. Now all we need is a website and some content. (and sourceforge's login to come back online.)
Alternative Name: Formfactor
This is probably taken somewhere on the net. But, it's such a sweet name.
Another Possible Variation: Formfactor5
I just had the idea of a core team of people known as formfactor. I'd be like formfactor1, though I like formfactor5 better. What's up with me and names with sur-numbers? Hmm. I just kinda like them.
I'm babbling on Advogato when I should be making a website or getting content or even doing my schoolwork...
If anyone works at sourceforge or knows someone or anything to get the login working (it's been busted for 2 days now) could you tell them about it? It would be helpful.

Are new agents used to treat rheumatoid arthritis safe to take during pregnancy?
Christina Chambers PHD, Gideon Koren MD FRCPC, Zuhre N. Tutuncu MD, Diana Johnson MS, Kenneth L. Jones MD
March 2007
I have a patient planning pregnancy who has resistant rheumatoid arthritis that will require treatment with some of the "new" medications. Which ones are safe to use during pregnancy, and which ones do we know enough about to tell whether they are safe or not?
For most new disease-modifying biologic medications, we have few data on safety. More and more reassuring data are accumulating on azathioprine and cyclosporine. When you treat this patient, you can help in gathering such data by contacting the Organization of Teratology Information Specialists' Autoimmune Disease in Pregnancy study through Motherisk at 877 311-8972.
Une de mes patientes planifie une grossesse mais elle souffre d'arthrite rhumatoïde résistante. Son problème exigera un traitement avec certains des «nouveaux» médicaments. Quels sont ceux qui sont sécuritaires à utiliser durant la grossesse et quels sont ceux qu'on connaît suffisamment pour établir leur innocuité?
Nous avons peu de données sur l'innocuité de la plupart des nouveaux médicaments biologiques modificateurs de la maladie. Les données rassurantes sur l'azathioprine et la cyclosporine se font de plus en plus nombreuses. Quand vous traitez cette patiente, vous pouvez aider à recueillir de telles données en communiquant avec les responsables de l'étude des spécialistes sur les maladies auto-immunitaires durant la grossesse de l'Organization of Teratology Information par l'intermédiaire de Motherisk, au 877-311-8972.
The availability of a host of new disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) has raised important questions about fetal safety for women with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) who become pregnant while they are being treated with these drugs. Because about half the pregnancies in North America are unplanned and fewer than half the women recognize they are pregnant by the fourth week of gestation, inadvertent exposure to a medication of unknown safety during a critical period in embryonic development is common. Physicians and pregnant patients are frequently faced with assessing the risk of exposure to a medication or combination of medications that has already occurred early in pregnancy, or deciding whether to continue or discontinue a medication regimen during a planned pregnancy or breastfeeding.
We summarize information on the risks of taking certain medications or classes of medications used to treat RA during pregnancy. We invite you to enrol your patients in the Organization of Teratology Information Specialists' (OTIS) studies by calling Motherisk at 877 311-8972.
Although no controlled epidemiologic studies have been done on the prenatal effects of sulfasalazine, several large observational studies have been done on the offspring of more than 400 women with inflammatory bowel disease treated with sulfasalazine during pregnancy.1 No indications of an association between structural defects and prenatal exposure to sulfasalazine were found. One recent case-control study that grouped sulfasalazine with other folic acid antagonist medications suggested, however, that there was about a 2- to 3-fold increased risk of neural tube defects in the offspring of women exposed to folic acid antagonist drugs early in pregnancy.2 The numbers in that study were insufficient to calculate a risk specifically for sulfasalazine.
The only peer-reviewed published data on the prenatal effects of leflunomide in humans come from a questionnaire mailed to rheumatologists regarding their prescribing practices for DMARDs.3 In this summary with no comparison group, no malformations were reported in the offspring of 10 women who were prescribed leflunomide during pregnancy. In an ongoing prospective controlled study of RA medications in pregnancy being conducted by OTIS, 43 leflunomide-exposed women with RA were compared with 78 women with RA who did not use leflunomide and with a second group of 47 women without RA. Preliminary data indicate rates of major birth defects were similar in all 3 groups.
Infants exposed to leflunomide were significantly more likely than infants of women without RA to be born prematurely and to be smaller. There were, however, no significant differences in these 2 measures between leflunomide-exposed infants and non-exposed infants of women with RA, suggesting that the underlying disease or other medications used to treat RA are likely associated with these adverse outcomes. Despite the minimal data on humans, the United States Food and Drug Administration has assigned leflunomide a pregnancy category X (Table 1). This is based on its mechanism of action (interference with synthesis of DNA and RNA) and on results of animal studies in pregnant rats and rabbits that demonstrated an increased risk of congenital malformations in their offspring (Table 2).
Antimalarials: chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine
Much of the literature on the prenatal effects of chloroquine relates to its use in relatively low doses (300 mg/wk) for malaria prophylaxis. No increased risk of structural abnormalities or pregnancy loss was documented following first-trimester exposure.4 Studies on use of chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine for treatment of rheumatic diseases during pregnancy have had controversial results, primarily because of the higher doses used to treat these disorders. As with malaria prophylaxis, however, no increased risk of congenital malformations was documented following first-trimester exposure to either of these drugs.5,6 Studies on these drugs included more than 100 pregnant women treated with either 250 mg/d of chloroquine or 200 to 400 mg/d of hydroxychloroquine. Increased risk of spontaneous abortion and preterm delivery was noted, but both these adverse outcomes could be related to maternal underlying disease.
For adults, the main toxic effect of chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine relates to their deposition in the retina. A prospective study after exposure to these drugs during pregnancy did not reveal ocular damage in offspring.7
Most of the data on the effects of azathioprine on fetal development have come from studies of its use to prevent transplant rejection. Reports of approximately 90 babies born to women treated with azathioprine for rheumatic diseases have been published. No increased risk of structural defects was documented in any of these studies, although sample sizes were too small to rule out any but the most dramatic risks. A recently completed large prospective, controlled study of use of azathioprine did not document increased teratogenic risk according to a personal communication from its author, M. Berkovich. As with other drugs, it is difficult to separate the possible effects of the drug from the effects of the underlying maternal disease. The increased risk of fetal death could be a consequence of azathioprine treatment for the mother's systemic lupus erthythematosus.
Tumour necrosis factor inhibitors (biologics)
Little information on use of any these drugs (adalimumab, anakinra, etanercept, infliximab, rituximab) during human pregnancy has been published. Most data come from isolated case reports, retrospective surveys, and otherwise uncontrolled studies.8-12 One case report of a woman treated with adalimumab throughout pregnancy for Crohn disease has been published. The pregnancy resulted in a normal full-term infant.
No malformations were reported in the offspring of 14 women prescribed etanercept during pregnancy and whose rheumatologists responded retrospectively to a mailed survey. Another single case report of a woman with RA and infertility who received chronic therapy with etanercept documented a normal pregnancy outcome. The abstract of an ongoing prospective controlled study of RA medications taken during pregnancy being conducted by OTIS reported on the pregnancy outcomes of 32 women exposed to etanercept and 4 women exposed to infliximab. These very small numbers showed similar rates of major birth defects in treated and control groups. Similar to findings on leflunomide in this same study, however, babies exposed to etanercept or infliximab were more likely to be born prematurely and to be smaller than infants born to mothers who did not have RA, but were similar in gestational age and birth weight to infants not exposed to these drugs whose mothers did have RA. Again, these findings suggest that maternal underlying disease or factors other than exposure to tumor necrosis factor inhibitors were involved.
Two other studies of pregnancy outcomes in women receiving infliximab have been published. The first was an analysis of 58 reports of first-trimester exposure either retrospectively or prospectively sent spontaneously to the drug manufacturer with no comparison group. Most of the women were being treated for Crohn disease. Although it is impossible from the published data to determine the exact percentage of women who had live births rather than miscarriages or elective terminations, the authors concluded that the data did not suggest an increased risk of miscarriage. Of the 5 live-born infants in this study who had complications, 2 were structurally normal but had complicated neonatal courses, and 3 had structural or developmental problems. One member of a twin pair was developmentally delayed, 1 child had tetralogy of Fallot, and 1 had intestinal malrotation. A second study, based on a retrospective chart review with no comparison group, evaluated the offspring of 10 women who received infliximab throughout pregnancy for Crohn disease. All 10 had live-born infants without structural anomalies or intrauterine growth restriction; however, 3 of the 10 babies were born prematurely.
There are few adequately powered, well-designed studies on the safety of most medications women with RA frequently take during pregnancy. Yet, the cumulative data on sulfasalazine, azathioprine, and antimalarials are reassuring. While much less is known about the new biologic medications, they do not appear likely to pose a major teratogenic risk. Consequently, it is important for physicians to balance the potential benefits suggested by few but reassuring data with the potential risk associated with untreated moderate and severe RA. The risk-benefit ratio will vary from case to case.
One approach to meeting this challenge is that developed by OTIS, a North American network of telephone information services based in universities, hospitals, and departments of health at 18 sites throughout the United States and Canada. Members of OTIS provide risk counseling to approximately 100 000 pregnant women and health care providers each year regarding exposure to drugs during pregnancy and breastfeeding. At the same time, OTIS services collaborate to conduct pregnancy outcome studies on selected exposures.

This seemed like a good idea to most people but never managed to snowball. Perfect alternative packaging for army builders and non-mint collectors (read: we who open the boxes). Who's with me?!
This seemed like a good idea to most people but never managed to snowball. Perfect alternative packaging for army builders and non-mint collectors (read: we who open the boxes). Who's with me?!
I am! Dunno about the bucket count though, some folks were saying 20 stormies for $50, that seemed excessive to me, it'd be better if it was 6 for $20. But I'd be on board no matter what, so long as the product wasn't low-quality like the Battle Droid pack in foreign figures.
Darth Vader is becoming the Mickey Mouse of Star Wars.
Kylo Ren - came from Space Brooklyn, although he moved to Space Williamsburg before it was trendy.
The use of a lightsaber does not make one a Jedi, it is the ability to not use it.
Bucket O' Stormtroopers eh? I wish Hasbro would make this and make it soon. I've been wanting them for a while now.
I have just counted and the tally is in I have a total of 104 stormies of some variant or another ie
stormtrooper 3 3/4in
snowtrooper 3 3/4in
scouttrooper clean and dirty 3 3/4in
CT stormtrooper 3 3/4in
deluxe Stormtrooper 3 3/4in
deluxe Snowtrooper 3 3/4in
sandtrooper (white, black "grey", orange paulrons) 3 3/4in
12in sand and sand w/dewback
but I'd still buy more
wooo hooo
Bukets of Stormtroopers, Rebel Fleet Troopers, Snowtroopers, Sandtroopers, Hoth Rebel Soldiers, Endor Rebel Soldiers, Scout Troopers and multi packs for Imperial Officers. All should have RFT's articulations!!! Is it too much to ask?
I have a total of 16 various versions of Stormtroopers :
1. Dewback Rider Stormtrooper (removed pouldron) - X9
2. POTF2 SAtormtrooper - X2
3. POTF2 Luke Stormtrooper - X3
4. Han Stormtrooper (kellogs) - X1
5. CTC Stormtrooper - X1
No new stormies!!!
They will make my 20 POTF stormies look bad!
Actually, the more the merrier.
What about a Bucket o' battle droids?
I think if BattleDroids were to be squeezed inside one bucket, you won't be able to make them stand at all when they are poured out. Flimsy limps may just deforms and the bucket'll be just a pile of scrap droid metal
perhaps you're right but still it's just a thought. Maybe they could just make them with no joints and posed them in certain positions like they do with those green army men.
Maybe Bucket o' Ewoks?
Bucket o' Gungans?
Bucket o' Midichlorians? Actually, that one should be pretty easy to mass produce . . .
Bucket o' E.T. Senators?
Bucket o' Rick McCallum Naboo officials?

Canberra spills its guts on the Labor leadership
18 March 2013 , 11:10 AM by Elliott Dunn
Canberrans have a hearty appetite for political intrigue. Even when it's a story stuck on loop, playing out over and over again in the public domain.
With the latest Nielsen poll suggesting K Rudd is about twice as popular as the PM, and speculation of a leadership spill running rampant on social media late last week, the question has once again been begged: who should lead Labor to the federal election?
This morning, Elliott Dunn (Talking) walked the chilly streets of Civic to ask Canberrans precisely that.
He expected to get a few rolled eyes and exasperated sighs... but instead, he got this:

Every one of the folks who volunteered genuinely has a love for animals. It was the Best feeling to be surrounded by people like that, especially coming from a place where folks can shoot an animal without hesitation because they can. If one is in danger or feeding a family, yes, but a nuisance or just because...hmmm, just does not sit well with me (never has, but I've never said anything before). I'd rather be around people more like minded. With that being said I will learn to shoot and gun and own one, but would ONLY ever use it to defend myself, company or my babies.
I'm discovering several things about myself during this journey and know and feel life changes happening for the better. They had already begun the day I left YK and are increasingly happening.
Each day at Soi was an incredible feeling. I can't even begin to count the number of dogs I walked and socialized with. There are so many hard luck stories, but these dogs (and cats) are so well taken care of, it's quite a beautiful thing.
Soi Dog is such a well organized place and the volunteers spend so much time for their residents. There are 4 runs on the A side and 4 on the B side, each with between 16-20 dogs. There is an old age run, puppy run, disabled , a C run for dogs in medical need and shy run. There are also two hotel runs which are the dogs that have been adopted and are waiting out their quarantine time. Lastly the Old Age run where some of the neatest characters reside and will live out their lives there.
Soi has sterilized so many street dogs and placed them back on the streets, otherwise they'd have over 800 dogs at the shelter. They currently have 400. The street dogs actually do quite well on the streets provided they are put back where they were taken from. The 4 dog catchers do a remarkable job of that.
Diana & Mark were just gems to work with and are very dedicated to Soi, as are Reggie and Gill (founder). Remarkable and wish there were more of them in this world.
The best feeling, aside from giving love to those animals who needed it most, was gaining the trust of Red, one of my fav's at Soi Dog! I wish I had taken a picture, damn it!!!

Penguins notebook: Vokoun to take big step todayJanuary 21, 2014 8:55 PM
For the first time since Sept. 21, Penguins goaltender Tomas Vokoun will be on the ice at Consol Energy Center this morning.
He is expected to skate before the game-day skate.
Coach Dan Bylsma announced Tuesday that Vokoun was allowed to stop taking blood-thinners about a week ago. He had been on that medication since he had a procedure Sept. 21 to dissolve a blood clot in his pelvis.
"He will see the doctor after he skates," Bylsma said. "When his blood levels return to normal, he will be able to begin taking shots."
Bylsma cautioned that getting on the ice "is just a step, just a first step. He's got a long road ahead of him.
"There are a few more steps before we get close to looking at any kind of timetable [for him to play]."
Still, Bylsma said, "It's really encouraging."
Vokoun, 37, backed up Marc-Andre Fleury last season and replaced the struggling Fleury as the starter in the playoffs.
He left a training camp practice because of swelling and discomfort in his leg, and the clot was discovered.
After the clot was dissolved, blood-thinners were prescribed as a standard course of follow-up care.
Doctors said he would be on such medication for a minimum of three months, but it was not known at the time whether he would be allowed to discontinue the blood-thinners in time to have any shot at playing this season.
With Vokoun out, rookie Jeff Zatkoff has handled the backup goaltending duties. He is 7-2-1 with a 2.67 goals-against average and a .906 save percentage.
Vokoun has spent much of the season in Florida with his family.
Quick turnaround
The Penguins held a fairly standard practice Tuesday at Southpointe after the 5-1 loss against Florida the night before that might be categorized as their worst game this season.
Veteran defenseman Rob Scuderi said the players already had turned the page and were eager to play tonight, when the Montreal Canadiens visit Consol Energy Center.
"We get a chance to play [tonight]," Scuderi said. "You know you're not going to win 82 games, but you have to be willing to learn from your mistakes.
"We laid an egg as a team — everyone in here — so let's just come back and play good [tonight]."
Martin feels good after return
In his first game in nearly two months because of a broken leg, veteran defenseman Paul Martin logged 20 minutes, 6 seconds in the loss against Florida.
That's more than five minutes less than he was averaging when he got hurt.
"Hopefully, each game will get a little more comfortable and be a little more minutes," Martin said.
He reported no problems. "No side effects. I feel pretty good."
New equipment for Ebbett
Penguins forward Andrew Ebbett returned to practice for the first time since he broke an ankle Dec. 5, and he was wearing new, custom-made protectors over his skates.
Who could blame him?
A slap shot by San Jose's Dan Boyle broke his old protector in half and cracked Ebbett's ankle.
"It's a little heavier, and I've got it on both sides, the inside and the outside," he said of the new pieces of equipment, which where made in Montreal and specially molded for his skates.
"I'm confident that it will do the job."
Ebbett, signed in the offseason, spent nearly two months in the American Hockey League at the start of the season. He was playing in just his fifth game (he had one assist) after being recalled when he got hurt.
"It was probably one of the most frustrating times in my career because I had just come up here and thought I was playing pretty well," he said.
Ebbett said he has a green light from doctors and his ankle feels strong. He is hoping to can return to the lineup after some practice time.

Santini 6Five Jersey - $144.95
Santini's new 6Five Jersey was designed to provide you with a lightweight, breathable, and comfortable jersey for warm weather rides. Many attempt to create jerseys with all of these attributes in mind, however, they usually fall short in one area while compensating for another. Santini, however, goes about its design process a little differently, targeting specific regions of the jersey with materials that achieve these necessary characteristics. After all, the Italian company is known for apparel that's constructed with quality fabrics and attention to the small details. Just look at the leader's jersey in any peloton and chances are that you'll spot the small 'SMS' logo on the upper chest. For the construction of the 6Five jersey, Santini selected its Microsense Energy fabric. This polyester material is extremely light and antibacterial, translating to a jersey with fast moisture evaporation, a high rate of breathability, and odor-fighting properties. Additionally, Microsense Energy is also soft on your skin and prevents the chafe and friction caused by upper-body riding motions. And since Santini designers know that you get hotter in certain places, they inserted a mesh panels along the sides, further enhancing the jersey's ventilation. These lightweight mesh inserts boost breathability and airflow and quickly wick away moisture. The jersey's shoulders and sleeves received Santini's highly-elastic Acrtic fabric, giving you a smooth stretch that doesn't pinch or restrict movement. Santini built the 6Five jersey with a fit that's more traditional than the ultra-tight race-cut options that its known for. This allows you to breathe easily and retain a full range of motion without ever feeling too constricted. A modern, low-profile collar provides just the right amount of neck coverage, complemented by thinly-banded sleeves that stay in place on your upper arm. - $144.95
