Gordon began as Tropical Depression Eight late on August 15 over the north-central Atlantic. It was already outside the tropics when it formed at nearly 30 degrees North latitude.
Dates: | August 15 - 20 |
Peak Intensity: | 110 mph (Category two hurricane) |
Landfall: | Santa Maria Island in the eastern Azores |
Gordon quickly turned north, northeast, and eventually east-northeastward, eventually making landfall as a Category 1 hurricane on Santa Maria Island in the eastern Azores on the morning of August 20.
Winds gusted to 70 mph on Santa Maria Island as the hurricane swirled through. Later that same day, Gordon was downgraded to a post-tropical cyclone east of the Azores.
Gordon reached its peaked intensity as a category two hurricane on August 18. Only six other hurricanes in history have been within 200 nautical miles of Gordon's position at that time (34.1 N, 36.4 W).

Greece helicopter prison escape attempt foiled
ATHENS, Greece (AP) — A helicopter swooped down on a prison courtyard Sunday as armed men on board fired on guards and lowered a rope to help a convicted killer make his fourth attempt to escape from a Greek prison.
But the plot was foiled after the prisoner was shot and the chopper forced to land in the prison's parking lot.
The dramatic escape attempt was one of a handful involving helicopters in Greece, and the first time such plans have failed.
Authorities said the chartered helicopter — carrying two armed passengers, a pilot and a technician — first tried to rip off the chicken-wire fence surrounding Trikala prison with a hook dangling from a rope. But that didn't work, so a rope was lowered down to whisk away Panagiotis Vlastos. Another prisoner, an unnamed Albanian national also in the courtyard at the time, may also have been part of the escape plan.
At the same time, the armed passengers used AK-47 assault rifles to fire on the prison guards. One guard, who was inside a post, was slightly injured by shards of flying glass. He and others returned fire, injuring Vlastos, who had managed to climb into the helicopter, as well as the helicopter's technician. Vlastos fell from a height of about 3 meters (10 feet) into the courtyard, and the helicopter was eventually grounded in the parking lot.
Vlastos, 43, is a convicted murderer and racketeer serving a life term who had tried and failed three times before to escape from prison.
Prison officials told TV stations Mega and NET that they recovered well over 500 bullets fired from the helicopter. The Ministry of Justice, in statements describing the escape attempt, added that the helicopter passengers also carried, but did not use, "improvised explosive devices."
Authorities said Vlastos was wounded in the legs but is being treated in the prison hospital because his injuries were not deemed serious enough for a transfer elsewhere. The technician's hand was slightly wounded.
It was not immediately clear if the pilot and flight technician had willingly participated in the escape attempt or had been forced to fly to the prison, which is located 328 km (205 miles) northwest of Athens. Also unclear was whether the second would-be escapee was in on the scheme or just happened to be in the courtyard and tried to take advantage of the situation.
The helicopter was hired from a western Athens suburb and was supposed to fly to Thessaloniki, in northern Greece. But it deviated from is flight path to head to the prison.

Two senior executives linked with the National Spot Exchange Ltd (NSEL) were today extensively grilled by investigators in connection with the Rs 5,600-crore payment crisis at the beleaguered bourse.
Meanwhile, Anjani Sinha, former Managing Director and Chief Executive of NSEL, will appear for questioning tomorrow.
Joseph Massey, former Chief Executive of MCX Stock Exchange Ltd (an entity related to the NSEL parent firm Financial Technologies) and Shankarlal Guru, ex-Non-executive Chairman of NSEL, were questioned about the payment crisis at the spot commodity bourse.
"Shankarlal Guru and Joseph Massey appeared before us today and we grilled them for several hours, seeking answers related to the payment crisis," said an official of Economic Offences Wing (EOW), without disclosing detail.
Massey was also one of the directors of NSEL.
Sinha, who in an affidavit filed before a Mumbai Court had blamed the entire former senior management, including himself, for the payment crisis, will be appearing before the investigators tomorrow, he said.
"His interrogation will throw light on some unanswered questions. His revelations would be crucial and we are ready to ask him some tough and straight questions."
EOW had summoned Sinha after registering an FIR on September 30, but he did not appear before the Mumbai Police agency citing ill health. "Sinha has now communicated to us that he would present himself tomorrow," the officer added.
Sinha, in the affidavit, claimed he suspected that some of the former senior management executives had entered into dealings with buying members of NSEL for their personal benefits and demanded a judicial inquiry against them.
He admitted submitting "wrong stock statement" to the NSEL Board and commodity regulator FMC based on the report by the warehousing division of the exchange.
Taking the blame for not informing the Board about increasing exposure and risk of widespread defaults, Sinha stated the management allowed the exchange to function and did not stop trading due to fear of defaults.
Citing several instances of misrepresentation of stock position and fund diversion, Sinha said buyers diverted funds availed through fictitious sale transactions to purchase real estate and other properties.

A new mouse mutant in the TTBK2 kinase fails to make cilia, and shows neural tube and Sonic hedgehog signaling defects. Ciliary targeting mutations in human TTBK2 are linked to spinocerebellar ataxia, suggesting cilia protect from neurodegeneration.

In the same week Vermont became the fourth state in the United States to approve gay marriages, Suffolk Legis. Jon Cooper headed to another New England state to pick up his marriage license.
The majority leader of the Suffolk County Legislature, and his partner of 29 years, Rob, picked up the certificate at Greenwich, Conn. town hall.
In an e-mail, Cooper said the couple will hold a marriage ceremony on April 30, the date of their anniversary together.
Cooper said the event will be "a small private ceremony, since we had a big commitment ceremony, with 400 guests and the requisite number of toasters, back in September of 2000."
They have five kids, who now range in age from 23 down to 14 years old. Their twin girls are the youngest.
Last year, Cooper was Obama for America's Long Island campaign chair, a designation he earned after endorsing the president when most Democrats in New York were still standing behind Hillary Rodham Clinton.
Cooper is flirting with the idea of running for senate in 2010 for the seat currently held by Kirsten Gillibrand, though he could face stiff competition from Long Island neighbor Rep. Steve Israel, among others.

► Crystal structure of LRP6 tandem repeats defines domain interfaces ► Electron microscopy reconstruction of LRP6 reveals a compact platform-like shape ► Wnt3a and Dkk1 share overlapping binding surfaces on the top face of LRP6 P3 ► Our platform model provides a structural basis for disease-associated LRP mutations
LDL-receptor-related protein 6 (LRP6), alongside Frizzled receptors, transduces Wnt signaling across the plasma membrane. The LRP6 ectodomain comprises four tandem β-propeller–EGF-like domain (PE) pairs that harbor binding sites for Wnt morphogens and their antagonists including Dickkopf 1 (Dkk1). To understand how these multiple interactions are integrated, we combined crystallographic analysis of the third and fourth PE pairs with electron microscopy (EM) to determine the complete ectodomain structure. An extensive inter-pair interface, conserved for the first-to-second and third-to-fourth PE interactions, contributes to a compact platform-like architecture, which is disrupted by mutations implicated in developmental diseases. EM reconstruction of the LRP6 platform bound to chaperone Mesd exemplifies a binding mode spanning PE pairs. Cellular and binding assays identify overlapping Wnt3a- and Dkk1-binding surfaces on the third PE pair, consistent with steric competition, but also suggest a model in which the platform structure supports an interplay of ligands through multiple interaction sites.

Has your preschooler refused to eat anything other than chicken nuggets for the past two days? Or would your toddler rather play than eat anything at all?
If children's nutrition is a sore topic in your household, you're not alone. Many parents worry about what their children eat — and don't eat. However, most kids get plenty of variety and nutrition in their diets over the course of a week. Until your child's food preferences mature, consider these tips for preventing mealtime battles.
If your child isn't hungry, don't force a meal or snack. Likewise, don't bribe or force your child to eat certain foods or clean his or her plate. This might only ignite — or reinforce — a power struggle over food. In addition, your child might come to associate mealtime with anxiety and frustration. Serve small portions to avoid overwhelming your child and give him or her the opportunity to independently ask for more.
Serve meals and snacks at about the same times every day. Provide juice or milk with the food, and offer water between meals and snacks. Allowing your child to fill up on juice or milk throughout the day might decrease his or her appetite for meals.
Young children often touch or smell new foods, and may even put tiny bits in their mouths and then take them back out again. Your child might need repeated exposure to a new food before he or she takes the first bite. Encourage your child by talking about a food's color, shape, aroma and texture — not whether it tastes good. Serve new foods along with your child's favorite foods.
Serve broccoli and other veggies with a favorite dip or sauce. Cut foods into various shapes with cookie cutters. Offer breakfast foods for dinner. Serve a variety of brightly colored foods.
At the grocery store, ask your child to help you select fruits, vegetables and other healthy foods. Don't buy anything that you don't want your child to eat. At home, encourage your child to help you rinse veggies, stir batter or set the table.

Definition of Gaia hypothesis in English:
Gaia hypothesis
Syllabification: Gai·a hy·poth·e·sisnoun
- The theory, put forward by James Lovelock, that living matter on the earth collectively defines and regulates the material conditions necessary for the continuance of life. The planet, or rather the biosphere, is thus likened to a vast self-regulating organism.More example sentences
- This outlook is rooted in the Gaia hypothesis - that the world is best seen as a single organism, of which we are just part.
- Dr Lynn Margulis, who developed the Gaia hypothesis with James Lovelock and who is probably the premier biologist in the world, came up with the endosymbiotic theory of evolution.
- His most famous idea is the Gaia hypothesis, which holds that living organisms and non-life together form a coupled system in which life creates conditions that favour it.

Dave Chapdelaine, a resident for more than 40 years, recalled walking down the middle of his rural road with a shotgun in the 1970s, taking aim through the trees at rabbits, squirrels and pheasants. Every year he and three friends held a game cookout, and sold rabbit fur to a company in New York.
Now houses are nestled in those woods, and Chapdelaine, a school bus driver, heads north to Vermont to hunt. He's among many in Newtown who question the wisdom of stiffer gun control laws, which President Barack Obama called for Wednesday at the White House.
"To me, a firearm -- 99 percent of the time, when it's unloaded -- it's a beautiful work of art," Chapdelaine said. "It's not meant to kill people. It's meant to protect people and help you provide for your family. But you have to keep them out of the hands of the loonies."
Over the last decade or so, the town's rustic character changed with the arrival of upscale families who commute to New York or other cities, and who see guns as a nuisance, if not a threat.
"There are people that have had their families here for several generations, love this town for what it is and what it was, and they want to preserve that bucolic rural setting," said Andy Sachs, a real estate agent and member of a town commission that supervises police. "And there's a new guard who's moved in the past 15 years that want to see more growth opportunities, more commercial opportunities, more vibrant suburban living. That's a struggle."
One sign of the divide was a sharp debate this fall over the commission's proposals to curtail hours for target shooting, and to require police approval for shooting on private property, after a growing number of noise complaints.
Dozens of members of the Fairfield County Fish & Game Protective Association, a 300-acre private hunting club on Newtown's southern outskirts, showed up at a town meeting in September to defend gun rights. Bowing to the outcry, the police commission shelved the proposal.
"It's an issue anywhere you have people moving in from big cities into a rural area and they have hard time dealing with what goes on here and want to make all these changes," said Bennett, the former hunting club president.
"We have to educate these people about what we do and why we do it," he added. "They should have no fears that our activities are going to impact them any way. You can change this gun law and that gun law, and it's not going to change things like (the school shooting) from happening."
Still, in a nod to the town's tragedy, the club has halted all hunting and shooting on its property for two weeks "so there wouldn't be the sound of gunfire while a funeral was going on," Bennett said.
The National Shooting Sports Foundation, the lobbying group near the school, hasn't commented publicly but posted a brief statement on its website saying that it was "deeply shaken and saddened" by the killings.

Goalies We Could Use
Written by Chris on .
Conkblock is pretty much gone and the seat behind Howard is empty (though that Joey guy keeps trying to sit in it.) So, let's look at the goalies available on the open market to back up Howie next year.
Now the one thing that Joey gives us is a solid backup to the backup position. The Wings have certainly hinted that he's going to start the year in GR, so that gives the Wings a bit of an advantage to take a goalie that's a little riskier, with a higher upside.
Hit the jump for those available.
I'm only looking at those options that are on the open market next year; I haven't even considered trades as I don't think Detroit would give up anything to get a backup. Let's start with my personal choice:
Jonas Gustavsson: I've been a big fan of this guy for a while and I stick with it. He was thrown in a no win situation in Toronto and was hot and cold, but it's certainly hard to play in that city, especially with that defense. I think his upside is higher than almost any goalie in the league and just needs a little calming influence (Lidstrom anyone?) and coaching to bring him up to near Howard's level. Hell, when Howard got into the league, he had all the same problems the Monster has and look where he is now. Plus he's Swedish. We like those guys.
Tomas Vokoun: Well that little experiment in Washington didn't work did it Tomas? Until this year, he was the definition of solid. He still had an ok year stats-wise and I think would be a perfect backup who would push Jimmy. His flexibility is poor, but his positioning and smarts is usually bar-none. This is almost a no-brainer if he'd be interested in a backup position.
Scott Clemmensen: Once considered an average backup at best, he's out-performed expectations wherever he's gone since returning to the Devils in 09-10. This is a safe, Ty Conklin style circa 2008 pickup of a goalie who won't win you the cup, but would give them a good chance to win any game he plays. Plus, I think we could get him on the cheap.
Josh Harding: This, I think unfortunately, is a pipe-dream. He's a hell of a goalie (though he catches with the wrong hand, damnit) who has a bit of a consistency problem. I would think that Minnesota will try to resign him or he'll get a starting job somewhere. Hopefully far away from the Central division as possible, as he's a Wing killer.
Marty Biron: He's the definition of a replaceable goalie. He put up average numbers on a good NYR team and while he doesn't disappoint, he doesn't impress either. I wouldn't hate this signing for around 1.2 million, but I wouldn't love it either.
Al Montoya: I thought he was average or even bad at Michigan, so the fact that he's made it to the NHL is impressive in my eyes. And he's actually done decently with a terrible Isles team ahead of him as well. He'd be cheap, has Michigan roots, and a decent upside.
Curtis Sanford: Coming in for Steve Mason after the first month of the season, he looked like Columbus' golden savior for a while. Then again, if you put goal pads on a puppy, he'd do better than Mason. And probably adorable. Anyways, Sanford actually played pretty damn well with that terrible team in front of him and I'd have no problem with him behind Howard this year.
A few more:
Chris Mason: See what I wrote about Marty Biron, except I think he looks like a douchebag.
Dan Ellis: See what I wrote about Chris Mason, except he IS a douchebag.
Brent Johnson: He has a hell of a left hook. I think he's goaltending skills are waning, but man, that left hook is awesome.
Other possibilities include Alex Auld, J. Hedberg, Marty Turco. No thanks on those (Hedberg is 39.)
I think my preference, realistically is 1.) Gustavsson 2.) Clemmensen 3.) Sanford, assuming that Vokoun and Harding wouldn't want to be a backup.
So who do you want the Wings to get? One of these guys or someone else? Sound off in the comments.
Don't Forget To Follow NOHS on Facebook and Chris on Twitter, which he consistently forgets he has.The only way we consider signing/trading for someone else is if MacDonald's back issues continue to be issues going into training camp. He has a one-way contract (which kind of makes all of this discussion/arguing ridiculously unnecessary), so he will either have to start the season in Detroit, or be exposed to waivers anytime he goes to/from GR.
I really feel that the Wings need to look into a long-term back-up solution as opposed to the continuous pattern of 1-2 year deals for "veteran"/past their prime back-ups. We need a dominant duo, and if we are long-term invested in Jimmy, we can't continue to start him 80-85% of the season and expect him to be fresh going into the playoffs.
So, basically, the Monster is our best option. Vokoun would be nice, but he's 35, as is Clemmensen. Neither Pearce or McCollum are progressing to the point where they will even crack the roster, except for an emergency/injury call-up. Mrazek will still need a couple of years in the AHL until we're convinced of his abilities.
@drewbehringer I agree, a dominant Tandem is how teams seed high and go far post season. Either that or they ride an all-star goalie which is a big risk. I'm all about duos.
I'd like to see the Monster. I saw a lot of leafs games and he was usually hung out to dry. On another note, Alex Semin was riding shotgun with Pav at the WC.. A harbinger of things to come?
Sorry to spam with something not goalie related, but this post has a lot of attention. The next round for the EA cover athlete has started and Datsyuk is up against Tavares. I already voted a million times (give or take) and will continue to do so. We need to continue to have a large fan presence voting for him.
@Lauren H @JOHNxJOHN idk, I wouldn't be surprised to see Giroux in the finals. Does the H in your name stand for Hill by any chance?
Gustavsson and Harding are definitely legit. But are they a luxury the Wings could/should afford?
@CollegeWolf With several idiot GMs around the league who sling ridiculous figures at players who don't deserve them, I don't see us getting one of these guys for a price that we should get them at. So, would I rather fight the idiot GMs for Parise and/or Suter, or for a backup goalie when I think we already have one that is good enough? Obviously, let's drop some money bombs on the top tier guys, and if there is money left for some reason, I'm fine with pursuing one of these potential upgrades to the backup goalie spot.
@CollegeWolf Harding is probably least likely, Gustavsson might be available due his mediocre play with a mediocre team.
Did somebody say MacDonalds? I think he's the best option, and frankly I think we "owe" him a bit for picking up the load when Jimmy went down in the middle of the win streak. That guy deserves a ton of credit for his performance during that time.
Plus, not spending extra money on a goalie means we get to spend more money on forwards and defense. He's only got a 550k cap hit. That's a steal of a deal, I think.
I will say this about Al Montoya: If the Red Wings were to sign him, I believe he could cause a lot of locker room issues by constantly approaching people, accusing them of killing his father, and instructing them to prepare to die.
@RedWings3RDP Not sure what the Wings owe MacDonald. They signed him when nobody else was going to and they paid him an NHL salary while he was playing in the NHL. He did his job, but I don't think he's the best option available.
@garth He did his job: his job was to be a backup goaltender. While he was originally slated for the third slot, when Conks had problems, he stepped up and became the #1 guy. When Howard came back, MacDonald was slated to be the #2 guy until he got hurt.
I don't think Conklin, the way he was playing, carries us to the home win streak. And if we're not going to use MacDonald, let's trade him.
@ThroatShot @Twig Agreed. And didn't Clemmensen start to blow up at the end of the season/in the playoffs (despite losing to NJ)?If that's the case, would he leave somewhere else to be a backup goalie in Detroit?
@Twig @RedWings3RDP Harding won't be a backup anymore IMO (thus, higher salary), given how weak some teams are at that position. Schneider also won't be a backup next season. Monster might be available around $1.5m ($1.35m now, calculate inflation, etc.), and there are certainly some guys who will go for that or less on the original post. I just don't think that any of them are an improvement over Macdonald that are going to be Detroit's backup for that rate, calculating in the theoretical cap inflation rate.
@RedWings3RDP @ThroatShot i don't think a good backup will cost more than 1.5, even with the cap increase and idiot GMs.
@ThroatShot @Twig It's the inflated value that has me concerned about us being able to get the deals on guys like Semin, Parise and Suter that we would like to. I think without the cap bump and a bit deeper FA pool, we could maybe snag these guys closer to the 5 million mark. Hell, maybe less if we had a stronger year and the market wasn't so slim. I think despite a record 23 home win streak, a 20 year playoff streak and another 100 point season, the Red Wings have a tougher sell about "coming to Detroit to win a cup" this off-season. It's still valid, just a bit weaker of a bargaining position.
Those three guys know they're wanted, the Red Wings made it known, Columbus has made it known they want to rebuild, Florida's going to be looking for puzzle pieces, Calgary, San Jose and Anaheim are looking at maybe rebuilding or restructuring. And if New Jersey makes it to the Cup Finals, I have a hard time believing they're going to let their captain go, unless the Devils have doubts about his leadership qualities. And if they go that far (and win) I doubt he'd want to leave.
Maybe I'm wrong, and if they win, he'd go "Well, got my cup, time to make a fortune!" and wade into the FA market.
@garth Sorry, I couldn't hear you over the mad. When you calm yourself down, I will listen to what you have to say. Until then, just ignore my posts.
@RedWings3RDP You told me to shut up because I made you angry. Why lie about it? Telling someone to shut up is not sarcasm, it's an emotional response.
Seriously though, how thick are you? Yes, MacDonald did his job. Are you aware of what his job was? His job was to be the #3 depth goaltender who could step in should the one of the goalies get injured or underperform. That's what he was and that's what he did. If we need him to step in for a few games next season then that would be fantastic, but he is NEEDED in Grand Rapids to be a veteran presence and help either Jordan Pearce, Tom McCollum or Petr Mrazek move along, that's what his job description was and is.
My "language" mistake was a typo, a problem with my shitty typing, yours was a misunderstanding of the language.
Jesus, how dumb are you? When I mentioned that you said we don't need a backup, how could you POSSIBLY NOT UNDERSTAND that I mean you said we don't need another one? Jesus, obviously your entire argument is that we should have MacDonald as the back up. How thick are you? I'm being serious. How can you not get it?
And Jesus Christ, OBVIOUSLY there are bigger issues than the backup. I god damn well know that we need a top six forward and a top four (at least) defenseman, but that in NO WAY precludes the signing of an actual NHL goaltender as a backup and it in no way erases the need for a backup who can play 25-30 games so that Jimmy Howard can be fresh for the playoffs.
It is like talking to a brick wall.
@Twig @RedWings3RDP @garth Remember that as our cap goes up, so does everyone else's in the league. Including the idiots who are GMs. I wish the cap wouldn't go up, because it is only going to more inflate the value of FAs in the already thin class. If a player was worth $8m before a cap increase and hen the cap goes up 10%, his value will inflate to almost $9m. I can already tell I am going to be sickened by this off-season and what idiots like Burke will do. I'm not confident in us having money leftover to pursue another goalie.
That aside, I would love to have that kind of depth at goalie too. I would love for us to have 8 legit NHL defensemen and 22 legit NHL forwards. I don't see the money being available for any of those though.
@Twig Oh I completely agree it's financially possible, I just don't think it's a certainty. If Lidstrom comes back, he's probably going to get a ballpark of 6 million he got before. Helm and Abdelkader will probably both get contracts of 1mil or more, resigning Hudler and Quincey (which aren't certainty either) could hit us for 3mil each.
I'm guessing Suter is going to want Lidstrom money (or close) and both Parise and Semin are going to want 5mil or more.
We could end up with roughly the cap space we had this season, give or take a million or two, which could translate into a backup goalie. Unless Holland wants to keep that space open in order to have wiggle room at the deadline, which is something he likes to do and isn't a bad idea - unless you do nothing with it like he did this year.
With the confidence they vocalized for MacDonald, they may choose to go that route and I think it's a good route to go. At the very least you have to get the names I mentioned figured out and signed. And then you have to hope some of the goalies mentioned are willing to settle for 1mil or so to be a backup.
If we MacDonald didn't have the showing he had this season, I would be 100% on board with a higher priority for a backup goalie. But I think MacDonald can be the #2 guy.
@RedWings3RDP @garth mixed in the personal attacks are some good points on both sides. try to focus more on those points.
i will say that i agree with garth in that the Wings will have the money to make quite a few dreams come true this offseason and have money to spare on a backup. i do think Joey is good enough to be the backup, but i really like having him as the #3 because of the depth that brings us.
Before your criticize people's English understanding, might want to capitalize a proper noun. You should also use hyperbole correctly.
My point is why they didn't try to trade for anyone? Their goalie situation between last year and this year hasn't changed, except for the assumption that Conklin is not going to be resigned. Jimmy Howard is the guy, and someone is going to be the back up. If you believe that MacDonald doesn't have the quality to be a back up now, he didn't have what it last season either.
If they need to bring someone in now, they needed someone then. They didn't do it, because MacDonald fulfilled the need of a back up goaltender stepping up when the starter was unable to play, either because he needed rest or he was injured. He went a bit above .500, better than the Red Wings road record. You don't expect your back up to be lights out: you don't expect them to dominate the way Rask or Schneider, Elliot have. You don't expect them to pressure the top guy for his job, you expect them to be solid for you when you need them to be.
MacDonald was.
Trades happen because the teams agree to a deal. They negotiate deals that they're interested in that will benefit them. To fill needs. Holland said he wanted Quincey for more depth on the blue line going into the post season. To my knowledge, he didn't say he needed a new backup goaltender going into the post season. He was happy with Howard and at least satisfied with the guys behind him. Everyone I've heard said by Babcock, Holland and the team support that claim. I never said they should have signed a goalie, or should have tried to sign a goalie. I'm saying if they felt they needed it, they would have tried. If you're aware of a trade rumor about a goalie this year, please share it with the class.
But you're right. I said we don't need a backup at all. Except for that whole middle part where I said Joey MacDonald can be our back up. I don't think we need to go and sign one, because we potentially have our guy. And I'd rather the Red Wings focus on what I think are much more pressing needs - signing a top 6 forward (or two) and a top line blue liner. If the money pans out (which isn't the certainty you believe to be) and we can get a backup as a steal, it's definitely an option. I think there are bigger issues, and I'd also like to see us not totally capped come trade deadline either.
But like I said. Stop being mad. I told you to shut up because it's a sarcastic response to someone making ridiculous suggestions. And because you're mad, and it's obvious you're more mad.
@RedWings3RDP It's cute that you don't understand hyperbole. See, sometimes people with a good command of the english language will exaggerate in order to accentuate the point they are making. It's rather obvious that you're not saying he genuinely deserved the Vezina, dummy, I was making a point.
And it's cute that you pretend you don't think that some magic trade was going to happen to solve a temporary problem. Your response was "duhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, why didn't they trade for Roberto Luongo", as if Ken Holland could just snap his fingers and solve his problems. This is the real world we're talking about. Trades don't just happen because it's a convenient argument for you. Remember Kyle Quincey? It wasn't that long ago, it should be fresh in your mind. Ken Holland wanted him back but Greg Sherman wouldn't trade him to Detroit so Ken Holland had to deal with a completely unrelated GM in order to get Quincey. Remember? But yeah, trading should be SO easy, shouldn't it?
You're not talking about solving greater needs first, you're talking about ignoring needs in favour of other needs. I'm not saying that the first priority of the summer has to be signing a backup, but you're saying that we don't need a backup AT ALL.
Oh my goodness, aren't I just SO audacious?!?! I hope my scathing audacity didn't make you drop your monacle in your champagne flute.
It's also cute that just because I think you're stupid, you think I'm angry. And also that I'm the angry one while you're the one telling someone to "shut up".
You're absolutely adorable, I just want to pinch your cheeks.
PS Note to dense guy: I don't really think you're cute and I don't really want to pinch your cheeks.
@garth Oh god, it takes TWO teams for trades to happen? I thought this was just NHL 11 where I can pluck players from other teams and drop them onto the roster of my favorite team.
I think it's funny the raging assumptions you have to make in order to disagree with me: "Vezina-worthy"? Please. I never claimed that MacDonald could be anything but a viable backup goalie.
I don't care about what's best for the team? I'm talking about solving greater needs first, major free agency signings for major position fillings and resigning important players for the team, and you have the audacity to say I'm not thinking about what's best for the team? Just shut up.
Stop being mad because someone disagrees with you. It's embarrassing and makes it hard to have a reasonable conversation with someone who's just mad.
@RedWings3RDP You're aware that it takes two teams to make a trade, right? How many goalies do you think were readily available and how do you think the Red Wings were going to get one at a fair price, dealing from a place of weakness as they were?
And how great was MacDonald? Well, he was so great that even though Howard missed more than 10 games to injury he STILL played nearly 60. As Vezina-worthy as you think MacDonald's 8-6 record was, it still didn't give the Wings enough confidence to let Howard rest at all. Missing 10 games he still played more games than they wanted him to play.
And what kind of raises do you think that Helm, Abdelkader and Quincey are going to command? And how about addressing the depth issue?
Stop playing a stupid small-numbers game, a half-million dollars more than what MacDonald is making won't break the bank. Stop pretending the Wings owe Joey MacDonald something. Let Jimmy Howard have a real NHL backup for once in his career. Let us see what Jimmy Howard can do in the playoffs when he hasn't been overworked during the regular season. Try to think about what's best for the team.
@garth I'm not ignoring they will have nearly 30 million. You're ignoring that they have to potentially resign Lidstorm, Helm, Hudler, Abdelkader, and Quincey and THEN go shopping for major free agent pick ups. Those are more important than the backup goalie situation.
And my mistake, I thought he had a groin injury last season. Turns out it was a knee injury. And a shoulder injury.
Like I said, if the Wings needed a new backup goaltender because MacDonald isn't worthy of the spot, they could have traded for one. They had 5 million in cap space to sign or trade for someone. But they didn't. Because MacDonald is good enough to fill the backup role.
@RedWings3RDP 1) Jimmy had a groin injury, that doesn't mean he has issues. MacDonald has already had one back surgery, his injury is recurring.
2) Yes, MacDonald did well for a guy thrust into that position. As for why Detroit didn't go after anyone else, who else would they go after? There aren't a lot of options in the middle of a season. Do they sign Marty Turco, who hadn't laced up since the end of his last disappointing season?
3) You keep insisting on ignoring the fact that Detroit will likely have nearly THIRTY MILLION to play with. Paying another backup $1M instead of relying on MacDonald for $550K isn't going to break the back. We're talking about a backup here, someone whose salary would top out at about $1.5M at the most, not trying to get Pekka Rinne or Ilya Bryzgalov.
@garth Jimmy has had groin injury issues, which are even more serious for goaltenders than they are for skaters.
My point about Babcock and the team's confidence is that when MacDonald had to step up, he did. And the team respected his solid play. And instead of going shopping for goalies when Conklin was sucking and Jimmy was hurt before the trade deadline (which they could have), they opted to back MacDonald and he got the job done.
They had plenty of cap space then; why not go after someone?
And if we're talking about going for Suter and/or Parise and/or Semin, etc. we're going to have to spend some money. On top of that, we have to look at our UFA/RFA signings and make sure we have the cap space for all of that, plus the shopping we want to do, plus have something left over for trade deadline moves if we need to.
@RedWings3RDP And I just think it would be better to get a seasoned NHL back up in Detroit while having MacDonald in the #3 spot, ready to come in if needed, than having MacDonald as the #2 and having to rely on Pearce or McCollum in the emergency call-up situation.
Depth is the key.
@RedWings3RDP Detroit could have $25-28 million to work with if the cap goes up as much as some say it will. They're not going to skimp on a backup if they feel they need a better option than MacDonald.
And yeah, obviously it all depends on what Holland, Babcock and the team want. This is a discussion about possibilities.
And yeah, they were behind MacDonald. He was also the only option when Howard was injured and Conklin was stinking up the joint. That doesn't mean they won't explore every avenue possible before settling on MacDonald.
In regards to the injuries, you can't compare them. Breaking a finger on a shot is different from a chronic back injury.I won't necessarily be unhappy if they decide on MacDonald, but I am concerned about Jimmy again not getting enough support and having to play 60+ games.
@Lauren H @garth @RedWings3RDP Not necessarily. You can still send him down to the minors easily.
@garth His back issues are a legitimate concern. Although I would point out the last couple of seasons, Jimmy Howard has had more injury problems than MacDonald had. But yeah, his back issues are a concern.
And it isn't so much what I think of his performance, it's about what Babcock and his team thinks. The team and Babcock were behind him.
My point is: If we want to go after Suter AND Parise (or Semin or Kane or whoever) and if Holland wants to have money to play with come trade deadline, not to mention the free agents on our own team we may be looking to re-sign (Helm, Abdelkader) we may have to take a deal on a goaltender, and Joey MacDonald is a good option to do so.
@garth @RedWings3RDP Isn't this a moot point considering he has a 1-way contract this season?
@RedWings3RDP And the job he did was being a capable #3 who could play in case of emergency. That's all he did.
@RedWings3RDP You don't honestly believe he earned the starting spot, right? He was better than Ty Conklin. Two goalie pads stacked on top of eachother could've done as well as Ty Conklin.
And oh, he missed the last 11 games of the season and the playoffs with a back injury. What could possibly be the problem with relying on a guy with back issues as your backup GOALIE?
How about having a healthy, capable, NHL-proven backup for the first time in three years and just let MacDonald do what he was brought in to do, which is be a veteran presence in Grand Rapids?
And really? You're worried about spending more than $500K on a backup when Detroit could have between 25 and 28 MILLION to work with? This is not the time to skimp. If they spend a million and a half on a backup they'll STILL have a very inexpensive goaltending tandem.
@garth He was brought in to be a back up goaltender, earned the starting spot, fought to keep it and fought to produce in the NHL. His season and career numbers aren't all that bad.
I'm not saying the guy is the next Tim Thomas, but he had a great year this year and could maybe do it again. At 500k and with bigger problems to solve (scoring and defense) I'd rather invest the money there than trying to pay another goaltender a lot of money.Like I said, if we're not using the guy, let's trade him.
@RedWings3RDP He's been a pro for ten years and last year was the first time MacDonald had a winning record in the NHL. He was an emergency call up because Conklin sucked. He was signed to be the veteran backup in GRAND RAPIDS, not Detroit.
@garth @RedWings3RDP Agreed, if the wings can pick up an actual NHL goalie for cheaps I'm all for it. Joey Mac is a great 3rd goalie for use in desperate times. I like the guy, but I don't think he should be the permanent backup.
@Reddy @garth @RedWings3RDP With save percentages of 91.7% two years ago and 91.2% last year in his NHL play, I don't see how we can knock him. He beat Howard two years ago, and he has done fine whenever he is up with us.
@garth Two of those teams were the Maple Leafs and the Islanders. Most of those seasons he hasn't gotten to play at the NHL level because bigger goaltenders have been filling the spots. The last season was the first time he'd gotten to play more than 10 game for Detroit.
He hasn't had that great of a chance.
@RedWings3RDP Well some of us aren't as easy to please. His record was 8-6, that's not exactly gangbusters.
In the past decade he's had the chance to establish himself as the backup on four teams and hasn't done it.The point is he's had TEN YEARS to prove himself and he hasn't even been able to prove himself as even a back up. And again, he's had ONE winning season.
@garth He proved himself to me just fine with his performance this year. And how easy is it to prove yourself on a team where you're never really getting an opportunity to do so? MacDonald has always had people ahead of him, either due to seniority or due to guys being brought in to fill the job. Prospective goalies have had to wait their turn in Grand Rapids while guys like Hasek, Cujo, Conklin, Legace and Osgood were brought in and out and in to the Red Wings lineup.
If you want MacDonald to prove himself as a goaltender in the NHL then why not give him the chance to do so by letting him play in the NHL?
@RedWings3RDP Playing a couple games a year doesn't make you an actual NHL goalie. He's been a pro for 10 years and he's played more than 16 games in a single season once, in 2008-09. If you think that's a bonafide NHL goalie then you're out of your mind. How much faith can you honestly put in a guy who's never even been able to prove himself as a back up in over a decade of pro hockey?
After the backup woes the Wings have had for the last couple years why would anyone advocate cheaping out on a back up? And why not give Jimmy Howard ONE year in his young career in which he doesn't have two worry about carrying a huge workload?
@Reddy Why not? You agreed with Garth, and as he pointed out, we paid MacDonald an NHL salary while he played in the NHL. That makes him an "actual NHL goalie" and he's cheap. He fits your criteria perfectly.
I always wanted Clemmensen. I thought we should have got him when we had that goalie fiasco a couple of years ago, when Osgood was really hurt, and Howard was shaky (If I remember correctly?) and Clemmensen was getting the job done for the Devils when Brodeur was out. He was so good night in and night out! I thought for sure the wings were going to get him to be a tandem or backup in the offseason. I'd feel comfortable with him. Hope it happens.

Research Interests
I have a wide range of critical interests, but generally speaking the field of twentieth-century literature is where I do most of my tramping about. Much of my work oscillates between the works of international modernism (particularly Joyce, Beckett, and an array of avant-garde poets) and contemporary literature. Pronounced and recurrent preoccupations include literary and cultural theory, translation, and literature and cognition. I also teach in the Studies in Comparative Literature and Arts (SCLA) graduate program.

This was a rental unit that I ran into. Whom ever installed the flue piping rolled up some sheetmetal and silver taped the beez-jeez-is out the thing! Obvioulsy we ended up replacing water heater and did this right.
lol, what the hell is that other snake rolling thru the picture. Don't tell me that's the gas line. lmfao
Naw-thats the copper tube that follows the flue chase to feed water to the evap-cooler setting on the roof.
Ok, let's see the after pictures now. I bet you kept that homemade flue....
Have you hugged the Earth today? Donny Baker rules
I don't know about the flew, but I bet he kept those handy dandy gas line style water hook-ups.
We ended up just gutting out the entire water heater and HVAC system. Obviously had to upgrade the water piping to the new water heater. Per code here and just plain common sense has you upgrading the system with an expansion tank, new piping and solid ball valve.
since when do they make doublewall tape?

How to boot and install Mountain Lion in VirtualBox 4.2.4 on OS X?
Hi, all,
I'm trying to get Mountain Lion to install and run on VirtualBox 4.2.4, and followed the instructions I could find. Most of Gogole's referenced page deal with running OS X on Windows, of which I don't care the least. However, I keep on getting this, which is not an error, but as I understand, the vanilla Mountain Lion I got doesn't boot. What am I not doing properly there?
Ubuntu and Mac OS X user means sacrilege both to Mac and GNU/Linux communities. Stop ranting, give feedback: http://www.apple.com/feedback Online, my trilingual blog |

I have been trying to install Lion into VirtualBox 4.2.6 and ran into the same screen. Converting the installer image from a .dmg to a .cdr (CD/DVD Master) using Disk Utility got me past that and let me get stuck at a different place. But at least it started running the installer before it just hung

NEW LONDON — Muhammed Yakubu, 27, of Moosup, is facing accusations in two state courts as well as being wanted in New York state on several drug charges.
Now Yakubu's probation violation case in New London Superior Court is being moved to Danielson Superior Court to join with a pending drug-selling case there.
Yakubu was arrested in August on the charge he had numerous probation violations. He was put on probation after being convicted in 2009 of selling drugs in Norwich and serving 14 months in prison.
Yakubu was arrested Jan. 25 in the Bronx, N.Y., and charged with possession of a controlled substance with intent to sell, possession of a controlled substance, possession of marijuana and criminal possession of a weapon.
Police officers from the New York Police Department's 44th Precinct approached Yakubu and another man sitting in a parked car, police said. The officers seized a switchblade knife on the floor of the car, police said, and a search of the car turned up Percocet and Oxycodine pills.
According to a report from Yakubu's probation officer, Yakubu's mother, who lives in the Bronx, asked him to help her after she became ill. She told the probation officer that the pills the police seized belonged to her, and that she had put them in the wrong bottle and left them in Yakubu's car.
Then on April 4, Yakubu and two other men were arrested by Plainfield police after a raid on his Arnio Drive home.
Police said they seized 6.2 grams of heroin, 4.7 grams of synthetic marijuana, drug paraphernalia and $751 in cash.
Yakubu was charged with possession of narcotics with intent to sell, possession of narcotics and possession of drug paraphernalia.
At his April 5 arraignment, Yakubu said he was addicted to heroin and committed his offenses to support his addiction. The probation officer's report noted, however, that Yakubu never tested positive for heroin use. Later, the report said, Yakubu admitted exaggerating his substance abuse to have a "better chance to get treatment."
His next court appearance, both for the probation violation and the Plainfield drug arrest, is scheduled for Tuesday in Danielson Superior Court. While awaiting trial, Yakubu is in prison, held on $150,000 bail.

Yellow Bird Side Surface Planer
- Carries a lure 150'+ off the side of your boat
- Carries a lure up to 100' behind the planer
- Planer is automatically tripped
Carries a fishing lure 150' or more off the side of your boat and up to 100' behind the planer. When a fish strikes, the planer is automatically tripped. Color: Yellow.
Rated 3 out of 5 by 3
Rated 4 out of 5 by dada good for the money
i use these at Lake Cumberland for stripers and other lakes for hybirds. They work pretty good unless water is real rough. The releases included are junk though, buy some red devil releases. These boards are ok for the money.

Rated 2 out of 5 by easy5580 Yellow birds
Bought several to striper fish with trolling live bait. Not very pleased with performance at low trolling speeds and pulling live baits! Puling live bait for stripers I like to troll around.5 to .8 mph. That slow, these boards dont plane out where they should and just want to DRAG behind the boat and get tangled up. If you run up around 1.3 to 1.7 they actually work alright, but way to fast too pull live bait and keep it at your desired depth. You get what you pay for,......cheap boards, cheap results!

Rated 3 out of 5 by CADDIE5 YELLOW BIRD MODIFICATION
We have 6 yellow birds for spring salmon sighing on the south end of Lake Michigan. Had to bend the wire angle to make them track in 1-2 ft. waves. Aslo had to change out the undersized releases with offshore releases. When price is added up we should have spent the bucks for the walleye board or offshore planer boards. The yellow birds have to be tuned and they don't do well in heavier chop. We will slowly phase them out of our boat equipment for salmon fishing.

what are some blockers used, so that the planner does not continue down the line and strikes your fish?
i used a swivel on end of line on top of swivel a couple nice sized glass beads do the trick. from the swivel to the bait is a 4 to 6 foot leaderAnswers

Starboard is the right side of your boat when you are driving, port is the left side.A:
The easy way to remember is .. looking the direction the boat is pointed ..PORT is LEFT :: notice both are 4 letters.. So if the 4 letter word is left the other has to be STARBOARD ...

You are preparing to go on vacation. You might have saved up a long time for this trip. There are so simple things you can do now to make every second of your vacation count. For many women it takes a good chunk of time to "be ready to go out." There are things you can do now to cut down on your "getting ready" time and spend more of your vacation doing what you really want to do. Even if that something means doing nothing on a beach!
1) You are probably going to put on weight! Face it, it's a fact. You don't want to deprive yourself of some local specialties or eat nothing but low-carb flavorless foods. You are on holidays, you are going to enjoy yourself. That means you are probably going to slide off your usual restraint and portion control. Of course, you might be more active, but in any case you are probably going to gain a few pounds. However, you can plan for that now. Make sure you cut back on the treats and high calorie foods to get yourself in optimum travel weight. This way you'll also save time when it comes to packing and getting dressed to go out. Taking off just a few pounds can make you feel better, relax when it comes to dining out, and look good in most clothes you own.
Watch your weight and your caloric intake now and you'll be able to enjoy your vacation more.
l2) The next thing to consider is your daily makeup routine. It's not uncommon for many women to take 30-45 minutes to get ready to go out in public. There are a few things you can do to get "vacation ready". These ideas might help you gain some extra time doing other things besides staring at your face in the mirror in the bathroom. Okay, a lot of people will be upset with me, but I suggest you visit a tanning salon a few times before you leave for a tropical destination. Getting a little of a bronze base will make you look better, can prepare you for the more direct rays, and will cut down on the time you need to even out your tone with foundation, etc., The other major area women spend a lot of time on is your eyes. There are products like Idol Lash that you can start using now that will help you spend less time "doing your eyes" while on vacation. It is estimated that 70% of the time a woman spends "doing her makeup" is spent on her eyes. With eyelash enhancement products you can greatly cut down on that. I learned a lot about "Idol Lash" while working for a company that helped websites get found on the internet. They promoted Idol Lash and other products. I really enjoyed working at that Waterloo area search engine optimization company.
3) Relax. Going on vacation, especially to a tropical getaway should be a time to de-stress and relax. Unfortunately, for most of us, it takes a while to get out of "go go go" mode. Relax. Things are going to go wrong. Your itinerary might change. Something will be different than what you expected. Enjoy it. Embrace the change. Look at all as an adventure. Don't let a floor change, or a change in a small detail ruin your vacation. Remember, enjoy yourself and enjoy your extra "me" time.
