Malkin makes it happen
Posted on: May 6, 2009 11:36 pm
Three seasons into his NHL career, Evgeni Malkin still hasn't mastered the English language. But he understood the message.
He had to. It was clear enough not to require any translation and it was pretty obvious too. Malkin, this season's scoring champion and MVP finalist, had to get his game going, or his Pittsburgh Penguins were gone. Simple as that. The Penguins were not going to come back if they fell behind three games to none against the Washington Capitals and they weren't going to avoid that hole if Sidney Crosby was their only superstar playing to his potential.
So after going missing in action for the first two games of this incredible series, Malkin figured it out and re-emerged in a major way tonight. So did the Penguins, not so coincidentally. Coming home facing a must win situation, Pittsburgh recovered from the shell shock of an early Alex Ovechkin goal off a freak bounce and went on to a heart stopping and entirely deserved 3-2 overtime win, with Malkin leading the way.
"It was great to see him respond," said Penguins coach Dan Bylsma. "He was at a different level tonight."
No kidding. Never mind the fact his only reference in the game summary is a goal, albeit a crucial one that briefly put the Penguins ahead 2-1 late in the third period, Malkin was a horse and easily the best skater on the ice. He played nearly 30 minutes, took nine shots, crashed the net at every opportunity and basically took charge every time he was on the ice.
It was a performance for the ages, and really it had to be for the Penguins because it was matched by Washington goalie Simeon Varlamov. The sensational rookie, who has become the breakout player of these playoffs, made 39 saves, several of them of the miraculous variety and gave his team a chance to win a game it did not deserve.
Ovechkin's goal got Washington off to the kind of start it wanted in a very loud building on the road, but the Penguins gradually regained their composure and eventually looked like they were skating downhill. Pittsburgh outshot the Capitals 26-10 over the second and third period and would not have required overtime had Varlamov been any less brilliant.
Varlamov's acrobatics kept the Penguins from scoring on five consecutive power plays and the lunging save he off Pascal Dupuis in the third period will be getting a lot of views on YouTube in the days to come. If it wasn't for Kris Letang's shot in overtime changing directions after hitting Caps defenseman Shaone Morrisonn, the game might still be going.
Instead it made this a series.

Malkin makes it happen
I am sorry, I fail to see your logic in why Malkin is underpaid or doesnt perform. The guy took a contract knowing he will be second to Crosby. And if you think he hasnt performed in the playoffs, why not take at what defenses are doing to shut him down. I realize that Crosby faces the same situations but maybe Malkin is still too young to overcome that. Did any of you who wrote him off ever think of his age? After all he is only 21 maybe 22? What were any of you doin at that age? Let me guess, still sleepin your moms home in your old room, right? So next time to try to take shots at Malkin, give the guy benefit of the doubt and realize he is hands down 1 of the best players in the game. However, I do agree he needs to step it up in the playoffs.

If MAlkin catches fire now and keeps contributing, the Washington Capitals won't stand a chance against the Pens. Game 4 is extremely important to the Capitals. If they lose tomorrow, the Pens will have all the momentum in the world to advance!

Malkin has the exact same deal as Crosby he just signed it a year later.

Malkin makes it happen
albeit with his limited skills (compared to Alexander Ovechkin - of course )
What skills are you exactly talking about? Yes his shot is much better than Crosby's and he hits much better than Crosby, but Crosby is as good if not better in everything else. Skating? Crosby. Passing? Crosby. Stick handling? Crosby. Defense? Crosby. Ovechkin doesn't even have to take faceoffs. I'm not trying to take away from Ovechkin at all. He is great. But there is more to being a great player than shooting and scoring goals.
People just don't like Crosby and since Ovechkin is one of the few players in Crosby's league they automatically say Ovechkin is obviously superior. In reality, they are completely different players who are equally good at what they do best.

I have been arguing with people this whole series when I hear them saying that. I live in Pittsburgh and am a Big Penguins fans but I am also not biased. When someone is playing bad I admit it and when someone is playing good I admit that as well, whether I like the person or not. Malking has but as good as anyone in the postseason. He led the league in Post Season points through Round 1 and still people say he isn't showing up. He played good the first two games and people say he played terrible. Maybe that has something to do with the expectations of how good he has been the past couple of seasons but I believe it is more related to the fact that people have no sense of hockey and only count scoring as good. Malkin has been playing with two terrible linemates is the better comment in the first two games but not that Malkin hasn't showed up. That is a crock because 95% of the NHL Players would take having 2 points after 2 games in this Playoff series. I also agree that Jordan Staal is out to lunch if you want to talk about one of the Penguins Centers. He has played poorly.

Much better effort from Malkin in game 3. Although if he showed up in the first 2 maybe some people would lay off on the critquing a bit. It is the playoffs, eh? Not a Crosby fan, due to his "not complaining" about the excessive hat display but at least he tries, albeit with his limited skills (compared to Alexander Ovechkin - of course )

I can see why Puckoff has a 0 Reputation because the guy does not know what he is talking about. Go back to work and yes I will have fries with that.
The Pens deserved the win and had almost twice the amount of shoots and a bunch more scoring chances and hits. Honestly I felt the Pens outplayed the Caps in all 3 games but goaltending has been the differance. The Flyers played us much more even than the Caps have. The ice has been tilted in our favor for the majority of the minutes in all 3 games.

Malkin makes it happen
People seem to value a player's performance based on goals. If Evegeni Malkin doesn't score for a few games, he must not be playing good hockey. He must have packed it in until next season. That's just a load of crap.
Malkin has played good all postseason. However, he stepped it up to a higher level last night. Last night he was better than Alex Ovechkin. He was better than Sidney Crosby. Actually, he was better than both of them during the regular season too. Ovechkin is a dynamic goal scorer. Malkin is a goal scorer to a lesser degree, but also a great passer and playmaker. That's where he has the advantage over Ovechkin. Crosby is somewhat of a goal scorer just because of the talent he has and effort he gives, but he is easily the best passer and playmaker in the game. So you have Ovechkin, the great goal scorer, and Crosby, the great playmaker. But Evgeni Malkin has the best of both worlds. He has both. He is a more complete player, in my opinion, than either Ov or Cros.
Just getting back to the criticism of Malkin - people were criticzing Ovechkin for doing nothing in the playoffs after the first few games of the Rangers series. Guess what. Ovechkin wasn't playing poorly. He was trying. He got like 30 shots on goal in 3 games. Goals just didn't get by Lundqvist. It happens. Same thing with Malkin. He hasn't been playing badly. He had I believe 8 points in the 6 games vs the Flyers. He had an assist in games 1 and 2 of the Capitals series. 10 points in 8 games is not exactly horrible. Yeah, he was not at the level we saw him at last night, but come on. Let's not act like he was playing terribly.
If you wanna talk about someone playing poorly, I got one for you. Jordan Staal. The guy has not done anything this postseason. He didn't do much last postseason either. Last night he missed a golden opportunity in front because he was being lazy. He couldn't seem to keep the puck on his stick all night. He fanned on a couple shots. This guy is 6'4, a long reach, a strong skater, good defensive forward, and really could be a great player, but he needs to step it up. The Penguins rewarded him with a nice contract, although some say he didn't deserve it. Staal is not going to be a 40 goal scorer, and probably won't tally more than 75 points in a season, but he should be good for 25 goals 60 points every season, but mainly be a strong 2-way forward. He is arguably the 3rd or 4th best forward on the team, so there should be more expectations on him. He seems to float under the radar while they criticize guys like Malkin or Crosby when they have a game or two without a goal. Doesn't seem fair to me.

From the Publisher"The corpus of slave songs is enormous, and their impact on African American literature has long been acknowledged. But little has been written about the connection between these songs and American literature. Slave songs are usually marginalized in, or omitted altogether from, literary anthologies and studies of verse. Even classic, if now dated, works examining the songs—including Lawrence Levine's Black Culture and Black Consciousness (CH, Jul'77) and Dena Epstein's Sinful Tunes and Spirituals (CH, Sep'78)—fail to discuss the poetic aspects of the songs. Ramey (CSU, Los Angeles) attempts to fill this glaring void with this erudite yet readable volume. The author provides provocative analyses of some of the individual songs (e.g., "Poor Pilgrim" and "Steal Away"). More importantly, she sheds light on their originality and their African roots, including the call-and-response tradition. In so doing, she makes a strong argument for studying these important pieces in light of their lyric poetic qualities. This is a book for all who are interested in African American literature and in poetry more broadly."—Choice
"Slave Songs and the Birth of African American Poetry is an invaluable resource for the American literature classroom. It will make it much easier to teach American poetry and African American poetry in a broader cultural context, and will open up all kinds of interesting new lines of discussion."—Shelley Fisher Fishkin, Professor of English and Director of American Studies, Stanford University
"Ramey argues that spirituals and slave songs are central to the literary legacy of the U.S., both in their own right as a form that goes to the heart of the American experience and as a major reference of the American imagination, through their influence on black and white writers alike. This book restores the spiritual to its rightful place in the American literary canon and will certainly stimulate scholarly interest in the spiritual as art form."—F. Abiola Irele, Harvard University

dividing asiatic lilly
I have a couple Asiatic lillies I would like to divide and transplant. I don't remember which one it is but it's a beautiful blood red and this year it was it's 3rd year I think since planting and it's gotten alot bigger. This lilly also seems to keep uncovering it's base from under the soil. We keep covering it up each year, but it keeps almost uprooting itself. Is this normal?
How and when do I go about dividing and transplanting some of this lilly?
Lilies form bulblets along the portion of stem that's undergound. What you are probably seeing is some of the baby bulbs along the stem near the surface of the soil. Lily bulbs will actually pull themselves deeper into the soil as they grow. If you want to divide them, now is a good time. When replanting, the bulbs should be planted at a depth 2 to 3 times the height of the bulb. Hope this helps.
No, you want to dig down around and try to get under the clump and lift it. Then shake off the soil and separate the bulbs gently. You want to be careful not to cut into or spear the bulbs. If the clump is really large (and heavy) you may have to work in sections. It can be a little tricky because the stem may not always come up directly above the bulb. Just go slowly, brush a little soil away at a time. I like to use a digging fork as it loosens the soil a bit more than a shovel. If yours have only been in the ground 3 years it shouldn't be too big a chore. When you replant give each bulb at least 6 inches (or more) of space around it. Each bulb will form a new lily stem. There will probably be quite a few babies along the stem. They can also be replanted but not as deep as the mother bulbs. Or you can share those with friends. It will usually take 2 or 3 years for the babies to reach blooming size. Some lilies are more vigorous than others . After replanting you should water well and then forget about them till spring. It's helpful to mix compost into the planting hole. If you want, you can also mix a little bonemeal into the soil below the bulb. Be sure it is not touching the bulb or roots directly. Hope this helps.
I understand. So I dig the whole thing up and then replant what I want in the same space and transplant the others. It's a shame to dig the whole thing up just to put a little of it someplace else but if it's got to be done, it's got to be done. Thanks for your help!
I had to dig up several different asiatic lilies to make way for a new retaining wall we are putting in. The lilies have already bloomed - i didnt cut off any of the stem, but just dug them up and put them in a container. I want to replant them in the same spot when the wall is finished, but they may have to be there 2 wks or so. Will they keep? How should i care for them? Should i go ahead and cut off the existing stem? I have more to dig up - what should i do with them?
If you are careful and can pot them without disturbing the clump or roots to much you should be ok doing what you did with the first ones. Don't cut the stems off as long as they are green. They are feeding the bulbs for next year. I would leave them in the pots till the stems yellow and then replant them in their permanent home this fall.

Nuno Gaspar de Oliveira's curator insight, October 7, 2014 10:41 AM
It's possible that winegrowers could also be adapting their techniques to best exhibit regional differences in their wines. They may have in mind what a typical wine from a certain site is like, and seek to demonstrate this quality more clearly in the wine. They may have the character of a site in mind when they blend a single vineyard bottling, choosing to include lots of wine that exhibit its sense of place and blending away those that lack this personality.

Two Person Shower
DH and I shower together often and in our current shower one of us is always freezing while the other is a "water hog". Has anyone put a 2 person shower in their master bath? I would love to see some pictures. I am especially interested in a shower with 2 sets of shower heads and temp controls.
The shower in my previous house was 6' x 4' with two shower heads. We're going to put in the same dimensions in our new house. It's a steam shower too.
Here's ours. We opted for the second shower head to be a handshower on a slide bar so it was more versatile. If only one of us is in there, we can get the whole spa experience by turning on the main shower head, aiming the handheld toward the bather & turning on the overhead raincan (not shown). Our shower is 4'x7' and doorless.
Thanks for posting pictures. Really helps me. Especially since you have two different styles.
mydreamhome- is there a curtain? I imagine if it is open that it may be a little drafty, but have seen pics that are "walk in" and have always been curious about chilly air.
annkathryn-I love the look of your shower. It is what I had in my mind when thinking of a 2 person shower, but I am open to other designs.
petesmom- In answer to your question, remarkably it is not. The best I can come up with is that it's because the shower spray kind of makes a wall of hot water & steam between me & the open end of the shower when I'm shampooing my hair, etc. as I stand between the spray and the back wall. Then I'm back under the spray to rinse off. We designed the shower without a door on purpose for 2 reasons--1)ease of entry and exit in the event we are ever in a wheelchair, using a walker, or just need assistance & 2)I didn't want to clean the glass. The glass cleaning issue is also why we have all tile walls vs. glass even though I love the look of the glass.
The builder kept urging us to put in a ceiling heater because he thought it would be drafty, but we resisted. He also pushed us to put glass on top of the pony wall as he thought water would splash out, but that hasn't happened either. I will say that the first time I showered in there, visions of the highschool gym showers ran through my head due to it's openness, but that soon went away and I just enjoyed the luxury of having such a large shower.
Hope this helps!
We have a 3'6" x 4' shower with two showerheads. One is handheld on a bar. The shower is a corner shower, and the showerheads are on each side of the corner. We find it works well for us, even when we're both in there. We don't have any problems with being in each other's way, which I'd worried about when we were planning it.
We don't have a built-in shower seat. If we did, I would want to have a deeper shower, say 54" instead of 42" deep. As it is, 42" is just about the right depth.

replacing exterior window sills
I would like to replace an exterior custom made window sill which has too much rot to repair. I have visited numerous web sites for instruction how to do this but for a novice like myself, they are confusing. Some go so far to state that the interior sill and trim must also be removed which seems unnecessary to me, particularly since the face of the interior trim is flush with the plaster (the way they did it in the colonial days)and would cause untold destruction to the plaster. Does anyone have any good reference(s) to help me replace a window sill? Pictures would be most helpful.
Pictures of your window would be helpful, too. The sill is the bottom of the rectangular frame of the window. It's a single piece of wood that goes pretty much all the way through the wall. It is integral to the window, not a piece you can easily pry off and replace. You may be able to cut away and replace just part of the sill, depending on how extensive the rot is, but it's tough to say whether this is feasible without seeing the problem. Replacing the whole sill is not a novice-level project.

It's a windy October day in Fort Worth, and Dewey Redman is talking about Elvis Presley's boxer shorts. For hours, sitting among piles of boxes in his late mother's south side home, the 68-year-old jazz dignitary has been telling stories and smoking every cigarette he can wrangle from his wife. "I mean, somebody paid five thousand dollars," he says with a laugh, the can-you-believe-it look widening his face, "for a pair of Elvis' underwear."
With the conversation winding down, Dewey's guard has lowered. Revved, he punches the air for emphasis. He's on to Sting now — specifically, the rock star's tardy discovery that one of his employees was an embezzler. "Nine. Million. Dollars." He spills the words slowly enough to be spelling them. "If somebody stole nine million dollars from me, hey, I think I would know it. I mean, these cats make so much money. But more power to them."
More power to them: a dated mantra tacked on to explain what is, to Dewey, the unexplainable. The tenor saxophonist has spent a storied career in the company of revered musicians, yet financial success has eluded him. He's made more than a dozen modest-selling albums under his own name and has come to be best known as the father of his much more celebrated son. Now 31, Joshua Redman — also a tenor saxophonist — has been in the limelight since besting other new artists to win the prestigious Thelonious Monk Competition in 1991; in contemporary jazz circles, he's as close as it gets to a household name and earns a better living than Dewey ever has or will.
"I figured out a long time ago, before I left Texas, that I was never going to make a lot of money," Dewey says. "If I just could survive those five years playing music, that would be great." Five years was his self-imposed limit when he quit a secure teaching job to become a full-time performer. For much of his life, such restrictions have left him lingering on the cusp of fame. Even when he followed his heart, it was a heart not always certain of what it wanted.
Dewey Redman didn't want to be a musician — at least not at first. He grew up in Fort Worth moderately poor, an only child who hardly knew his father. Segregation left its scar. He recalls the Colored Only signs in buses, separate lines for black and white Santa Clauses, the white thugs who tossed a cupful of urine on his mother.
His love of music grew from his surroundings. The juke joint across from the Redman family home was strictly off-limits, but strains from the R&B jukebox floated by, and he got to know every song. When he was older, he would sneak into dances where Louis Jordan, Amos Milburn, and others burned up the stage, but he was there only to watch and listen. "I would just sort of hang out after they got through playing," he says. "Ten of them would get in one car, and they'd have to drive five hundred miles to the next town. It seemed this was not the life for me."
All black students in Fort Worth attended the same high school, so Dewey played clarinet in a marching band alongside future jazz greats Charles Moffett and Ornette Coleman, who lived across town. Yet while his mates spent their off hours in bands honing their skills, Dewey was looking toward college and an eventual career. He enrolled at Tuskegee Institute in Alabama to study electrical engineering, "not realizing," he says, "how much math is in that. So I started hanging around the [school's] band, and I forgot about calculus and all that, and at the end of the first trimester they sent my ass home." He returned to Texas and signed on at Prairie View A&M College, graduating in 1953 with a degree in industrial arts (he minored in music) and a new specialty, the tenor sax. Two years in the Army followed, and when he returned to Texas, he took a job as a band director, first in Plainview and then in Bastrop. He spent his summers in Denton earning a master's degree at North Texas State College, yet he never set foot in the respected music school's band room. He gigged frequently in Austin, though, blowing his tenor at the Victory Grill.
In 1960 he decided it was time. "Five years in New York, to get it out of my system," he says. "I could come back to Texas and teach school, but I could always say that I went to New York." He took the long way there, venturing first to Los Angeles and then to San Francisco for what was supposed to be a two-week trip. He was unprepared for what he found in the Bay Area in the early sixties: "I was there at the beginning of the Vietnam War protests; there were flower children, smoke-ins, Haight-Ashbury, the Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane. I used to see Janis Joplin walking down the street. It was a great place to be, man." Seduced, he would stay for seven years.
The close-knit jazz community nurtured Dewey. Locals like John Handy and Pharoah Sanders were joined by an array of touring talent. When the likes of Johnny Griffin or Sonny Rollins rolled into town, Dewey was there, watching their every move. He rented a piano to study chord changes, and he made the scene with his band at Bop City, the happening after-hours club. One night he looked out from the stage to see John Coltrane in the audience. When the hungry upstart asked the veteran for advice, he netted only two words: "Practice, man." Dewey's initial anger gave way to an epiphany. "Can't nobody teach you how to play," he realized. "You have to get it yourself."
But it was a chance meeting with an old acquaintance that would change the course of his life. "I was in the Haight-Ashbury district, passing by a nightclub, and I heard music coming

How economies work – and don't
close to the policy of the Garden Cities in England. Founded by Ebenezer Howard over a century ago, residents own the land in common and run the town as a business. Letchworth, the oldest of the model towns, serves residents grandly from bucketfuls of collected land rent (as does the Canadian Province of Alberta from oil royalty). A geonomic town would pay the rent to residents, letting them freely choose personalized services, and also ax taxes. Both geonomics and Howard were inspired by American proto-geonomist Henry George. The movement launched by Howard today in the UK advances the shift of taxes from buildings to locations. A recent report from the Town and Country Planning Association proposes this Property Tax Shift and their journal published research in the potential of land value taxation by Tony Vickers (Vol. 69, Part 5, 2000). (Thanks to James Robertson)
an alternative to conventional land trusts. Just as it seems some functions should not be left to the market – private courts and cops invite corruption (while private mediation is fine) – just so some land should not be left in the market. That said, sacred sites do not make much of a model for treating the vast acreage of land that we need to use. So the usual trust model, which is anti-use and counter-market, can not apply where it's needed most. Trust proponents worry about ownership and control – two very human ambitions – but they're not central. Supposedly, we the people own millions acres – acres that private corporations treat as private fiefdoms – and conversely, the Nature Conservancy owns wilderness the public can some places use as parks. So, the issue is not who owns but who gets the rent – ideally, all of us.
a neologism for sharing "rent" or "social surplus" – the money we spend on the nature we use. When we buy land, such as the land beneath a home, we typically pay the wrong person – the homeowner. Instead, since land cost us nothing to make and is the common heri-tage of us all, rather than pay the owner, we should pay ourselves, our neighbors, our community. That is, we should all pay land dues to the public treasury, then our government would pay us land dividends from this collected revenue. It's similar to the Alaska oil dividend, almost $2,000 last year. Indeed, the annual rental value of land, oil, all other natural resources, including the broadcast spectrum and other government-granted permits such as corporate charters, totals several trillion dollars each year. It's so much that some could be spent on basic social services, the rest parceled out as a divi-dend, as Tom Paine suggested, and taxes (except any on natural rents) could be abolished, as Thomas Jeffer-son suggested. Were we sharing Earth by sharing her worth, territorial disputes would be fewer, less intense, and more resolvable.
of interest to Dave Lakhani, President Bold Approach (Mar 8) and Matt Ozga (Jan 29): "I write for the Washington Square News, the student run newspaper out of New York University. Geonomics seems like it has great significance, especially in this area. When was geonomics developed, and by whom?" About 1982 I began. Two years later, Chilean Dr Manfred Max-Neef offered the term geonomics for Earth-friendly economics. In the mid-80s, a millionaire founded a Geonomics Institute on Middlebury College campus in Vermont re global trade. In the 1990s, CNBC cablecast a show, Geonomics, on world trade as it benefits world traders. My version of geonomics draws heavily from the American Henry George who wrote Progress & Poverty (1879) and won the mayoralty of New York but was denied his victory by Tammany Hall (1886). He in turn got lots from Brits David Ricardo, Adam Smith, and the French physiocrats of the 1700s. My version differs by focusing not on taxation but on the flow of rents for sites, resources, sinks, and government-granted privileges. Forgoing these trillions, we instead tax and subsidize, making waste cheap and sustainability expensive. To quit distorting price, replace taxes with "land dues" and replace subsidies with a Citizens Dividend. Matt: "This idea of sharing rents sounds, if not explicitly socialist, at least at odds with some capitalist values (only the strong survive & prosper, etc). Is it fair to say that geonomics has some basis in socialist theory?" A closer descriptor would be Christian. Beyond ethics into praxis, Alaska shares oil rent with residents, and they're more libertarian than socialist. While individuals provide labor and capital, no one provides land while society generates its value. Rent is not private property but public property. Sharing Rent is predistribution, sharing it before an elite or state has a chance to get and misspend it, like a public REIT (Real Estate Investment Trust) paying dividends to its stakeholders – a perfectly capitalist model. What we should leave untaxed are our sales, salaries, and structures, things we do produce.
an answer for Jonathan of the Green Party (Nov 7): "What does 'share our surplus' mean?" Our surplus is the values that society generates synergistically. It's the money we spend on the nature we use: on land sites, natural resources, EM spectrum, ecosystem services (assimilating pollutants). It's also the money we pay to holders of government-granted privileges like corporate charters. We could share it by paying for the nature we use and privileges we hold to the public treasury then getting back a fair share of the recovered revenue. Used to be, owners did owe rent ("own" and "owe" used to be one word). And presently, some lucky residents do get back periodic dividends: Alaska's oil dividend and Aspen Colorado's housing assistance. Doing that, instead of subsidizing bads while taxing goods, is the essence of geonomics. Jonathan: "Is local currency what you mean?" Editor: It's not. Community currency is a good reform, but every good reform pushes up site values. That makes land an even more tempting object of speculation. Now, any good will eventually do bad by widening the income gap – until you share land values.
as unfamiliar as geo-economics. The latter is a course some universities offer that combines geography and economics. A UN newsletter, Go Between (57, Apr/May '96; thanks, Pat Aller), cited an Asian conference on geopolitics and "geoeconomics". The abbreviated term 'geonomics" is the name of an institute on Middlebury College campus and of a show on CNBC. Both entities use the neologism to mean "global economics", in particular world trade. We use geonomics entirely differently, to refer to the money people spend on the nature they use, how letting this flow collect in a few pockets creates class and poverty and assaults upon the environment, and how, on the other hand, sharing this rental flow creates equality, prosperity, and a people/planet harmony. This flow of natural rent, several trillions dollars in the US each year, shapes society and belongs to society.
a POV that Spain's president might try. A few blocks from my room in Madrid at a book fair to promote literacy, Sr Zapatero, while giving autographs and high fives to kids, said books are very expensive and he'd see about getting the value added tax on them cut down to zero. (El Pais, June 4; see, politicians can grasp geo-logic.) But why do we raise the cost of any useful product? Why not tax useless products? Even more basic: is being better than a costly tax good enough? Our favorite replacement for any tax is no tax: instead, run government like a business and charge full market value for the permits it issues, such as everything from corporate charters to emission allowances to resource leases. These pieces of paper are immensely valuable, yet now our steward, the state, gives them away for nearly free, absolutely free in some cases. Government is sitting on its own assets and needs merely to cash in by doing what any rational entity in the economy does – negotiate the best deal. Then with this profit, rather than fund more waste, pay the stakeholders, we citizenry, a dividend. Thereby geonomics gets rid of two huge problems. It replaces taxes with full-value fees and replaces subsidies for special interests with a Citizens Dividend for people in general. Neither left nor right, this reform is what both nature lovers and liberty lovers need to promote, right now.
not exactly Georgism, the Single Tax on land value proposed by Henry George. He did, tho', inspire most of the real-world implementations of the land tax that some jurisdictions enjoy today, and modern thinkers to craft geonomics. While his name and our remedy both begin with "geo" since both words refer to "Earth", the two have their differences. (a) George pegs land monopoly as the fundamental flaw while geonomics faults Rent retention. (b) To fix the flaw, George was content to use a tax, while geonomics jettisons them in favor of price-like fees. (c) George focused on the taking while geonomics headlines the sharing. George envisioned an enlightened state judiciously spending the collected Rent while geonomics would turn the lion's share over to the citizens via a dividend. (d) And George, as was everyone in his era, was pro-growth while geonomics sees economies as alive, growing, maturing, and stabilizing. Despite these differences, George should be recognized as great an economist as Euclid was a geometrician.
a way to have everybody pulling on the same end of the rope. Last summer's expansive forest fires shed light on growing class resentment in the West. Old loggers and ranchers rankled at the new urgency to stamp out the blazes that threatened the recent Aspenesque settlers. The newcomers expected working class firemen to make protecting their expensive homes top priority. (Chr Sci Mntr, Spt 7) The tinder for this envy? Rich people moving in bid up the price of land, making it hard to afford by people on the margin. The fault really lies with our system of privatizing land value. If this rising value were collected by land dues and shared by rent dividends – the essence of geonomic policy – who'd complain? The more people move in, the higher the land value, and the fatter the dividend paid to residents. Then people on the margin might go out of their way to invite rich outsiders in.
an answer to a rarely asked question. If price is a reward for production, why do we pay for land, never produced by any of us? What is land price a reward for? Good behavior? How much money do we spend on the nature we use? Who gets it? What do they do with it? (If you answer all these correctly, you're not a genius but a geoist.) The worth of Earth is enough that were we to collect and share it, we could abolish taxes on the goods we do produce. For example, San Francisco's Redefining Progress has calculated that Cali-fornia could abolish all state and local taxes were it to collect the values of resources and of using na-ture as a dump. By exorcising the profit motive from depletion and pollution, rent collection could replace bossy regulation. Economies could self-regulate, as the rest of the eco-system does. See how big problems yield to big answers when we ask the right questions?

Does anyone know how to make the cubes clear instead of cloudy?
It might be the water. We use osmosis water and they seem clear to me. You might try to put a filter on the water going into the fridge. We used a multi-pure filter in CA.

I know this. I also know that common sense dictates this and common sense isn't common.
My point here and in other places is still the same, and that is if I do a search and find a thread related to the question I want to ask, and no one has answered it - it doesn't matter how old the thread is.
In that case *I* WILL reopen the thread and ask the question.
As an administrator myself, this does a couple of things for me.
1) It keeps the THREAD count DOWN (and I don't care if you THINK it's cool to have a lot of threads or not, it isn't consistent with being organized on a forum).
2) It allows the thread to be revisited by the original posters, as well as new people who've not yet seen it, AND gives folks a second chance to answer the questions.
The other day after I posted my remarks here several... people... went beyond the pale and tried to prove that opening older threads was "stupid". All they did was prove the "common sense isn't common" theory.
I guess since most people don't bother to SEARCH the site before posting, everything I'm saying is moot anyway.
Oh well.
I'll still bring up the point there are three or four threads on "San Diego Sailing Academy" scattered "Over time" on the site here.
When I DID look for that information initially the threads DID NOT show up.
AFTER I started a new thread, they showed up in the search functions suddenly. (Probably a bug in the software, as I've seen similar on my site before).
Thus - I'd request again those threads be combined into one thread BECAUSE they all contain relevant information, but you have to search them all.
This software allows the combination of several threads, and the messages will be placed in chronological order so it isn't a big deal for a moderator to do it. Just takes a few minutes of their time and it would go a long way to preventing people from dredging up ancient threads that never received an answer 12 years ago I think.

Comment On This Article
In April on Phoronix there were 221 published original news articles and 20 featured length articles. Here's what was most popular among the plethora of original Linux content with a bent on performance testing, graphics drivers, power management, and Linux gaming.
With 221 original news postings on Phoronix in April that puts the average of over seven news postings per day of the month. Nearly everyone, of course, is single-handedly written by your's truly. There was also nearly one original multi-page featured article every day.
Next month Phoronix will be
turning nine years old
and in that time there is now more than 8,500 news articles and more than 2,300 featured length articles. To continue to see the site upbeat going into the next decade, please consider

Anyhow, the most popular articles on Phoronix last month were:
Ubuntu 13.04 Linux Can Outperform Apple OS X 10.8.3
In the road to the release of Ubuntu 13.04 "Raring Ringtail" later this month will be a number of articles benchmarking this major Linux distribution update against its friends and competitors. To complement the Ubuntu 13.04 benchmarks already delivered, including Microsoft Windows 7 and Windows 8 benchmarks, here are tests of Apple's OS X 10.8.3 operating system on a MacBook Pro compared to Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS, Ubuntu 12.10, and the latest Ubuntu 13.04 (post Beta 2) state. Ubuntu 13.04 is generally competitive with OS X 10.8 and in some new areas is now beating out Apple's operating system on their own hardware.
Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS vs. Ubuntu 13.04 Benchmarks
For those that may be currently running Ubuntu 12.04.2 as the latest Ubuntu Linux Long-Term Support release but are considering upgrading to Ubuntu 13.04 for better performance, here are benchmarks comparing the two Ubuntu Linux releases when tested on an Apple MacBook Pro and Lenovo ThinkPad. Overall, there's a few areas where the new Ubuntu Linux release delivers worthwhile performance improvements over the year-old Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.
Windows 7 & Windows 8 vs. Ubuntu 13.04 & Fedora 18
Last month Phoronix published Intel OpenGL benchmarks showing Windows 8 outperforming Ubuntu 13.04 with the latest Windows and Linux drivers from Intel. I also showed that even with the KDE and Xfce desktops rather than the default Unity/Compiz desktop to Ubuntu, Windows 8 still was faster on this Intel "Ivy Bridge" platform. The new benchmarks to share today from this Intel Ultrabook are the Windows 8 and Ubuntu 13.04 results but also with performance figures added in from Microsoft Windows 7 Professional Service Pack 1 x64 and Fedora 18.
32-bit vs. 64-bit Ubuntu 13.04 Linux Performance
While nearly all modern Intel/AMD x86 hardware is 64-bit capable, among novice Linux users the question commonly is whether to install the 32-bit or 64-bit version of a given distribution. We have previously delivered benchmarks showing Ubuntu 32-bit vs. 64-bit performance while in this article is an updated look in seeing how the 32-bit versus 64-bit binary performance compares when running Ubuntu 13.04 with the Linux 3.8 kernel.
AMD Radeon Gallium3D More Competitive With Catalyst On Linux
With the ever-changing state of Linux graphics drivers -- both for the open and closed-source drivers -- new tests have been conducted to compare the OpenGL graphics performance on Linux with AMD Radeon graphics. In this article are benchmarks of nine different Radeon HD graphics cards when being tested on the very latest AMD Catalyst (13.3 Beta 3) graphics driver as well as the open-source AMD Radeon driver consisting of Mesa 9.2-devel and the yet-to-be-released Linux 3.9 kernel.
Nouveau vs. NVIDIA Linux Comparison Shows Shortcomings
One week after delivering updated Radeon Gallium3D vs. AMD Catalyst benchmarks on Ubuntu Linux, we have to share this morning similar results for the open-source and reverse-engineered "Nouveau" Linux graphics driver compared to the proprietary NVIDIA Linux graphics driver. While the Nouveau driver has come a long way and does support the latest Fermi and Kepler GPUs, it's not without its share of shortcomings. Eleven NVIDIA GeForce graphics cards were used in this latest Phoronix comparison.
LLVM/Clang 3.3 Very Competitive To GCC 4.8
Benchmarks for sharing this weekend are looking at the performance of GCC 4.7, GCC 4.8, LLVM/Clang 3.2, and the latest LLVM/Clang 3.3 development code. How does the performance of the newly released GCC 4.8.0 compare to the yet-to-be-released LLVM/Clang 3.3? It's interesting.
15-Way Open vs. Closed Source NVIDIA/AMD Linux GPU Comparison
Combining the work of the recent Nouveau vs. NVIDIA Linux testing and Radeon Gallium3D vs. AMD Catalyst testing articles, here is a 15-way comparison of both the open-source and closed-source AMD and NVIDIA Linux graphics drivers when testing a mixture of NVIDIA GeForce and AMD Radeon graphics cards on Ubuntu Linux 13.04.

High-content analysis (HCA) or high-content screening (HCS) describes a set of automated analytical methods using integrated microscopy, image processing, and visualization tools to extract data from cells or cell populations and report quantitative results. HCS typically employs fluorescence imaging of samples in a high-throughput format, and reports on quantitative measurements such as spatial distribution of targets in cells and individual cell and organelle morphology. In particular, HCS combines multiple measurements per cell and is applied to multiple cell populations in the course of an experiment.
High Content Screening (HCS)
Thermo Scientific™ high-content instruments range from the modular and flexible Thermo Scientific™ ArrayScan™ XTI and XTI Infinity Configuration High Content Analysis (HCA) Readers to our affordable, benchtop Thermo Scientific™ CellInsight™ CX5 High Content Screening (HCS) Platform. All platforms feature state-of-the-art hardware and are designed for ease of use and maintenance.
More information on individual systems
Reagents for high-content screening
Drawing on decades of experience in fluorescence imaging, Molecular Probes® HCS products were developed with special considerations for automated imaging:
- Cell and nuclear masks for automated demarcation
- Robust functional probes for cell health interrogation
- Flexible assay workflow for automated processing
Broad fluorophore choice for easy multiplexing
- Validated on multiple imaging platforms
HCS segmentation tools and demarcation
Clear identification of cell and nuclear boundaries in automated imaging requires fiducial markers that will label cellular structures robustly and reproducibly. Cell masks are designed specifically for automated imaging. Cell structure labels are widely used in microscope imaging and high-content analysis.
HCS cell health and cytotoxicity assays
We offer a diverse selection of imaging and microscopy assays for the analysis of cell viability, proliferation apoptosis, cell cycle and DNA repair, migration, adhesion and other cellular functions. Many of these assays have been validated specifically for HCS platforms.

Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)
If you are pro-life and pro-family expect the biggest challenge to come from Catholics: At least half of those voters who identify themselves as Catholics will be disposed to oppose you. I can't remember all the times I have talked to Catholic candidates who are completely bewildered by the antagonism they have encountered among various parts of the institutional Church, from the parish and chancery to the bishops and their conference.You will lose count of the times that Catholic politicians and activists will stand Catholic moral teaching on its head.

WASHINGTON,DC (Catholic Online) - Any earnest Catholic who either runs, or holds political office, deserves both our admiration and our prayers. Because a Catholic politician, from day one, faces some long-standing hostilities and deeply rooted prejudices among his prime constituency, the Catholic voter. These volatile crosscurrents, if not surveyed in advance, can drown a candidacy.
A Catholic politician who has practiced the faith for years will know much of this ahead of time but will be surprised at how quickly the point of contact between Catholicism and politics becomes white hot. Knowing and affirming the fundamentals of the Catholic faith has not boded well for candidates entering the fray.
The chronicle of Catholics in Congress over the past fifty years is a sad one. Far more pro-abortion Catholics have served in the House and Senate than pro-life. The positions taken on life issues by Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D, CA) and Rep. Chris Smith (R, NJ) could not be more dissimilar. But it's the model of a Catholic legislator handed down by the late Sen. Ted Kennedy, rather than that of the late Rep. Henry Hyde that predominates among our members of Congress.
Catholic politicians need to know their faith, of course, but will be surprised by how their basic principles are challenged both in the election and, even more, in the office itself. There are some practical measures, like those taken by Catholic politician Rep. Chris Smith, to encourage Catholic politicians not to cave in to the pressures of the secular establishment and Catholic "progressives."
1. If you are pro-life and pro-family expect the biggest challenge to come from Catholics: At least half of those voters who identify themselves as Catholics will be disposed to oppose you. I can't remember all the times I have talked to Catholic candidates who are completely bewildered by the antagonism they have encountered among various parts of the institutional Church, from the parish and chancery to the bishops and their conference.
2. You will lose count of the times that Catholic politicians and activists will stand Catholic moral teaching on its head. Life issues become just one more issue, no more important than prudential matters such as immigration and healthcare policy. The legacy of the "seamless garment" is real and remains a matter of constant vigilance in Catholic voter outreach.We only hope that Pope Francis can help to heal the deep division among Catholics who consider themselves pro-life and those who embrace the moniker of "social justice."
However, for a Catholic politician it's fatal to assume this division can be ignored. Those two ways of self-description are reliable predictors of how Catholics will vote, assuming they are not missing any important information or have been deliberately misinformed. Pope Francis is teaching by word and example that social justice begins with respect for the unborn and vulnerable lives. May it heal this division in our Church!
3. Some who refer to themselves as "Social justice" (many Catholics who embrace the Social Doctrine take offense at the the co-opting of the term) or "Progressive" Catholics, as they now like to be called, will go to incredible lengths to find fault with pro-life Catholic politicians. They will go even further to invent pro-life credentials for Catholics who are pro-abortion or, as they prefer, "pro-choice."
Under the assumed banner of caring about human life "from birth to death," this "progressive" Catholic crowd will elevate any and all of their political priorities to the pro-life category. For example, if a Catholic member of Congress suggests an entitlement program does not need to be expanded by, say, 5%, the Catholic "progressives" will scream and yell about "abandoning the poor," and the pummeling will begin. It's not just any loss of funding that sounds the alarm, it's the unwillingness to increase entitlement spending year by year.
4. "Progressives," however, are constantly giving Catholic politicians bad advice. They recently led President Obama into the briar patch of denying religious liberty to Catholic institutions by demanding they pay for contraception and sterilization in their health insurance plans. The argument was that most Catholic women use contraception, therefore, Catholics will accept this historical encroachment on religious liberty. The Vatican has made it clear, most recently under Pope Francis, that Obama is seen as hostile to Catholic values.
It never occurred to any of Obama's religious advisers to consider that the Catholic woman who does use contraception may cringe at the thought of the federal government demanding the Catholic Church pay for her birth control pills! A big distinction here, evidently lost on the Obama administration. Not to mention the fact that Catholic tax dollars are now being spent on abortifacient OTC "day after" pills.
5. Pro-life Catholic politicians will get a warm reception from evangelical voters, but that same politician should remember that Catholic voters, for the most part, do not like to be talked to like evangelical voters. What gets a rousing "Amen" among Baptists can cause Catholics' eyes to roll.
Catholic politicians who adopt an evangelical style will win some Catholic support for their "bold" tone, but much more support will quietly edge away in discomfort. It's not complicated, just follow the first rule of rhetoric: Know your audience!
Catholic politicians should avoid the self righteous, moralizing tone of evangelical leaders, unless their goal is a radio talk show. The commitment to life and marriage should be made clear while extending that concern to those in society who need the maintenance of the government's "safety net."
These are the essential pieces of practical advice needed by a Catholic entering politics. The past two Congressional elections saw a new generation of pro-life, pro-family Catholics elected: these new members of Congress immediately became the target of "progressives" who, for example, attempted to twist their concern for the budget as "anti-life." Whether or not they survive will depend on how successfully this freshman class responds to the attack, or, even better, inoculates themselves in advance.

Not that I care about this trophy, coaches can get fired the year they bring the team to the cup or win this trophy, and they last on average about 2.5years. So really, who cares.
I also think MacLean due to the injuries his team suffered is going to win this hands down.
That being said, Quenneville has some top end talent on his team, and they were favored to win the West. That doesn't mean it's an easy job, but when you look at the performances of other coaches, I rather focus on the ones that don't have as much elite talent and exceeded expectations.
This trophy is very unclear like a bunch of other ones. They never give Norris trophies to actual defensive Dmen. They don't give the Selke to an actual defensive checking center anymore. The Hart trophy isn't always given to the actual MVP of the team, I mean how is Crosby nominated when his team plays just fine without him.
So who's the best coach in the NHL, and why does it change every year?
Is Boudreau really a top 3 coach in the NHL because the Ducks played like garbage last year?
Should Therrien really be a nominee because our previous GM lost his cool and decided to put him a garbage coach that had no idea how to coach us, and also decided to sell assets leading us to a top 3 pick? I mean, I'm not taking anything away from Therrien, he still lead us to a division title, but just how much of it was really thanks to him is what I'm curious of.
PK continued his natural progression (he always took major progression steps in terms of development, this isn't new).
We finally got Markov back.
We got two very solid rookies that just fell into Therrien's lap.
Eller progressed on his own (I'm giving zero credit on Therrien for Eller. This kid has been pushed away by every single coach, low minutes, scratching, benching, defensive duties, other centers that are just as unproven and less promising were given more leeway and opportunities, no PP time, weaker linemates, etc. I give Eller 100% credit).
Bourque was determined to bounce back.
We added Prust who ended being very key for us.
Diaz had a solid start. Emelin did fairly well. These guys followed their footsteps from last year.
As I said, it could have been worse. If we had RC again here, I'm sure we'd have finished outside the POs.
What will be interesting is how Therrien follows through (likewise for Bergevin). We finished dead last in the East last year so it's kind of tough for people to set standards high after that. However, this year we finished at the top, so next year people will expect improvements and better results. We will see if they can provide them.
I swayed away from the subject, but all this to say, to me, the Jack Adams=Best coach, not most surprising results. Babcock is the best coach in the NHL with Bylsma behind. I don't think Boudreau or Therrien are even close to being the best coaches.
