[size=13pt]Ex-Bills worthy of their price tags[/size]
Williams, Winfield say payback isn't due in return to Buffalo
Pioneer Press
Since the inception of free agency in 1993, the Vikings have prided themselves on resisting the temptation to overspend on other teams' players.
But frustrated by an inability to improve their defense through the NFL draft, the Vikings finally relented when, in 2003, they once again fielded one of the 10 worst units in the league.
So in consecutive offseasons, the Vikings targeted players from the same club: the Buffalo Bills.
In 2004, the Vikings uncharacteristically outbid another club, the New York Jets, and signed cornerback Antoine Winfield to a six-year, $35 million contract that included $10.8 million in guarantees. Then, on the first day of free agency in 2005, the Vikings beat out multiple teams and signed defensive tackle Pat Williams to a three-year, $13 million contract that included $6 million in guarantees.
Last season, while Williams and Winfield helped the Vikings' defense improve to 21st in the NFL, the Bills' defense nosedived to 29th.
This weekend, Williams and Winfield return to their NFL birthplace and reunite with old friends.
"I haven't been back there, and there will be some familiar faces," Winfield said. "I get to play against my former team, and I still have some good friends over there. I'm going to have fun."
Williams said he still has "homeboys" on the Bills, among them linebackers Takeo Spikes and London Fletcher. But he's glad two front-office people are no longer there: former general manager Tom Donohoe, who was fired, and coach Mike Mularkey, who resigned.
"All them dumb a—-s are gone," Williams said. "If they were still there, I would have a problem with (the Bills). But they got Marv (Levy) running things, and they're trying to get things back on line."
In 1997, Levy, then the head coach of the Bills, nurtured Williams, an undrafted free agent out of Texas A&M. And thanks to mentor Ted Washington, Williams developed into an anchor of the Bills' defensive line.
"I enjoyed it there, because I got a chance to play with all the old-school guys, like Bruce Smith, Thurman Thomas and Andre Reed," Williams said. "And we had the No. 1 defense one year (in 1999)."
But the durable, hard-working Williams was snubbed during the 2004 season, when the Bills' front office "disrespected" him with what he called a "terrible deal."
"I was like, 'Don't even worry about it. I'll play my season and see what happens,' " Williams said.
Winfield was surprised the Bills didn't try harder to keep Williams.
"I think it hurt them when they let Pat go," Winfield said. "Teams just started running against them."
Last season, the Bills' run defense ranked second-to-last in the NFL.
During the 2005 offseason there was no shortage of interest in Williams, who is considered one of the league's most dominant interior linemen. Because of his remarkable combination of quickness and size and his ability to draw double teams, he was coveted by numerous clubs, including the Houston Texans, Cincinnati Bengals, Cleveland Browns, New York Giants and New York Jets.
Williams chose the Vikings for one reason: defensive tackle Kevin Williams.
Pat Williams said he needed to play in a defense in which he wouldn't constantly be double-teamed. With Kevin Williams coming off an all-pro season after registering 11½ sacks in 2004, Pat Williams figured the Vikings provided the ideal fit.
"I wanted to come here, because they (opposing offenses) got to respect Kevin," Williams said. "They got to respect one of us. If they focus on me, then Kevin is going to kill them."
With Kevin Williams slowed by a knee injury at the beginning of the 2005 season, the Vikings didn't see the full benefits of the fearsome twosome until late in the season. But both are healthy now, and they have keyed a strong start for the defense this season.
"His weight is down; my weight is down," Pat Williams said. "Everybody is good."
They have combined for 30 tackles, one sack, 15 quarterback hurries, two passes defended, three tackles for loss and one forced fumble.
Winfield, meanwhile, has arguably been the defense's most consistent and reliable player the past two years, and he finished with a team-high 92 solo tackles last season, a remarkable figure for a cornerback.
This season, Winfield is off to a tremendous start. He is tied for the team lead with 21 tackles, and he returned an interception 7 yards for a touchdown Sunday against the Chicago Bears.
In Buffalo, the Vikings' 12th-ranked defense will try to outshine the unit one spot above it. But Williams and Winfield aren't worried about bragging rights.
Asked if the return to Buffalo will be at all emotional, Williams quickly said, "No."
"I'm just going to go handle my business," Williams said. "I'm sure 'Toine doesn't care either."
"If at first you don't succeed, parachuting is not for you"
Re: Ex-Bills worthy of their price tags
Pat is still a fan favorite in B-lo.
He's a classy guy who got the shaft from former GM Tom Donahoe.
You won't find a lot of Bills fans sorry that both Donahoe and Mularkey are gone.
I supported Donahoe at first, but he constantly let quality players walk and replaced them with bargain basement guys who couldn't do half as well.
The first move that really rubbed me wrong was when Donahoe released former Pro Bowl guard Ruben Brown.
Ruben's pretty long in the tooth, so I don't know if he's still starting for the Bears, but last season he anchored that great Chicago OL at LG -- and the Bills had Fat Bennie "The Penalty" Anderson whiffing on blocks and letting our QBs get killed.
In 2003, Donahoe managed to wreck the offense by trading Peerless Price and not replacing him.
In 2005, Donahoe managed to wreck both the offense and the defense by completely mishandling the QBs and gutting the D.
BTW, hats off to your GM, Rick Speilman, for turning Daunte into a #2 draft choice!!!
All the little Carppies in South Florida were sure Daunte was going to take them to the SB ...
and now they're whining in their Coronas!
He's the perfect "upgrade" at QB for the Carp -- keep 'em the AFCE cellar where they belong!
(Bills fans feel about the Dolphins the way Vikes fans feel about the Packers!)Ain't you glad there's still a few of us left, who know how to rock your world
Ain't afraid to eat fried chicken and dirty dance to Merle
Ain't you glad we ain't no California girls

but in all seriousness, i love both winfield and phat pat, easily two of my favorite and the most fun players to watch on the defense
got an autographed winfield jersey hanging in my room =P

It's been almost 20 years since she last performed on a Broadway stage — and a little more than that since recording pop music — but Tony and Grammy Award-winning powerhouse Jennifer Holliday is getting back into the swing of things.
This month, the Dreamgirls legend releases her long-awaited new music opus, "The Song Is You," on the heels of performing a string of sold-out shows at 54 Below, which has fastly become New York City's most in-demand hotspot for Broadway royalty.
"I thought [performing there] would be a good fit for this album, since it's really jazz and love songs," she continued. "The album lends itself to a supper club environment like those great ladies did back in the day — they weren't playing arenas or anything like that."
"The Song Is You," scheduled for commercial release Jan. 21, marks a grand return to the pop music spectrum, after a 23-year sabbatical, for the songstress famed for her rendition of "And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going." Though she recorded acclaimed gospel music projects in the interim, Holliday performs R&B, jazz and pop standards on the self-produced album. "The music industry kept changing and there wasn't an opportunity to record," she explained, rationalizing her lengthy absence.
The Houston native was also overcoming major health challenges. Over the last decade Holliday, 53, became an ambassador for mental illness (admittedly battling clinical depression for years); she also suffers from multiple sclerosis (MS), which she revealed was diagnosed 17 years ago.
"I've been blinded and paralyzed and after the last episode of blindness in 2007, I said 'Okay, I need to change my environment and how I do my work and live my life.'"Continued...

Membrell - Bone Health Eggshell Calcium (ESC) - 120 Vegetarian Capsules
Membrell BONEhealth contains Eggshell Calcium with Magnesium & Vitamin D3. BONE health features 100% natural ESC EggShell Calcium for optimum bone health. Multiple Human Clinical Trials show egg-shell calcium improves bone mineral density. Builds bone density in 4-8 months. Nearly 20% more absorbable than other forms of calcium carbonate. No toxic heavy metals.
The FDA has long recognized that adequate calcium intake throughout life, as part of a well-balanced diet, may reduce the risk of osteoporosis. But not all sources of calcium are the same!
Membrell BoneHealth Eggshell Calcium Features
Research has shown that in addition to adequate calcium intake, your body also needs magnesium and Vitamin D to maximize absorption and utilization of the calcium you take. A recent study found that osteopenic and osteoporotic patients had about 20% and 40% lower serum magnesium levels than normal. In another recent study, patients with the lowest serum Vitamin D levels had a 71% higher risk of fracture than those patients with the highest serum Vitamin D levels.
BONEhealth is superior to other calcium products because it:
It's time to make the switch to a better calcium. Switch to BONEhealth today!
About MembrellDuring the 1990s and early 2000s, a flurry of studies was published showing that eggshell and eggshell membrane held great promise for supporting healthy bones and joints. Yet very few manufacturers were offering the benefits of these amazing ingredients to consumers. Membrell was founded in 2002 to fill that gap.
What Membrell DoesMembrell manufactures research-backed dietary supplements that effectively relieve joint discomfort and build bone density, by harnessing the power of nature's best-kept secret: eggshells and eggshell membrane. They are one of the few dietary supplements companies whose ingredients are backed by multiple human clinical trials, many published in well-respected, peer-reviewed scientific journals.
How Membrell Does ItMembrell believes that manufacturers have a responsibility to minimize the footprint they leave on this earth. But their goal is even bigger: Membrell goes beyond simply sustaining the environment to actually improving it. By utilizing eggs as a resource for health-giving nutrition, they are helping to divert some of the 600,000 tons of eggshells that normally end up in the nation's landfills each year. It is Membrell's sincerest wish that their products help you experience a better quality of life.

Our Fit Improvement Team (F.I.T.) will help you get the right fit in the unlikely event that you incorrectly measured your blinds or shades, and we will correct the problem for FREE!**
look great
We have ordered several different types of blinds and are extremely satisfied with all of them!
The blinds are pretty, and since we installed them inside the window, they don't take space in the room and give it an elegant finish. They do however rattle and are noisy when being rotated; thus are not smooth to operate.
Our 3 1/2 inch S-Curve vertical blinds provide contemporary and stylish design. The S-Curve will add additional light control and privacy to any room. Our vertical blinds can be drawn to the Left or Right, can be split for a drapery effect or can have opposite stack or center stack (at an additional charge) As with all of our products, the S-Curve Vertical Blind come with a limited lifetime warranty.

Has anyone's order from B&H shipped yet?
I submitted my order yesterday and the status is processing.
They have been open to pre-orders for the camera for some time now so there is most likely a backlog that needs to be filled first before reaching those who placed an order yesterday. There is also a concern regarding the strike at the Los Angeles/Long Beach ports on California. Even though it is on the other side of the country, so much of what comes from Asia goes through those ports that the strike could strongly affect product availability in the upcoming months. There are over 17 container ships just off the coast waiting for the strike to end.

INDIANAPOLIS — What do you do when a political celebrity shows up for an impromptu lunch at a landmark restaurant where the cast and crew of NBC's "Parks and Recreation" are shooting a scene?
You ask him if he wants in on the action and then, on the spot, you write up a cameo role.
That's what happened Monday when former presidential candidate Newt Gingrich unexpectedly walked into St. Elmo's Steak House in downtown Indianapolis as actor Rob Lowe and his male co-stars were filming a scene for an upcoming episode of the popular sitcom based in fictional Pawnee, Ind.
"This is wild," said actor Adam Scott, as Gingrich passed by on his way to makeup.
It's Scott's character, Ben Wyatt, who's the reason why Hollywood had taken over much of the iconic steakhouse: St. Elmo's is the scene of Ben's big bachelor party in Indianapolis, thrown by his steak-loving co-worker, Ron Swanson, and attended by some of the civil servants who populate Pawnee's city hall. (Ironically, Scott's character has recently returned from a job on Capitol Hill.)
Gingrich had stopped by the restaurant, not knowing of the film shoot, on his way to an appointment with Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels.
"I think he's one of the finest leaders in government today," said Gingrich, who's writing a book on leadership and said Daniels will be a part of it.
The Gingrich sighting was proof to the Parks and Recreation cast and crew that Lowe — who has deep Indiana roots — knew what he was talking about when he told them that St. Elmo's was THE place to be.
"Rob loves Indianapolis and he loves this place," said the show's producer Morgan Sackett, who, along with his co-workers, labor to get the Indiana details just right.

Oklahoma Education Association gives State Superintendent Janet Barresi an 'F' after A-F release
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) -- A group representing Oklahoma educators is giving State Superintendent Janet Barresi an `F' grade for her administration's handling of the new A-F report cards for public schools.
The Oklahoma Education Association held a press conference Friday to deliver the grade to the first-term Republican. OEA President Linda Hampton said the 35,000-member association has "no confidence" in the grades.
Pushed by Republicans like Barresi who swept into office in 2010, the grading system was supposed to make it easier for parents to see how their child's school was performing.
But the rollout over the last two years has been marred by delays and fierce resistance from some superintendents to the formula that's used to determine the grades. A recent change by lawmakers dramatically increased the number of failing schools.

|Ottoville seniors plan New York City trip
|Thursday, December 20, 2012 5:23 PM
OTTOVILLE — Forty Ottoville High School seniors will leave for New York City on April 3 following board approval of the annual trip on Wednesday. High School Principal Jon Thorbahn said everything is place for the trip and students continue to raise funds.
The trip includes a visit to the Today Show, NBC Studios, Madame Tussaud's, the Empire State Building, Lower and Midtown Manhattan, the American Museum of Natural History, Strawberry Fields in Central Park, the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, the Sept. 11 National Memorial, Chinatown, Little Italy and a Broadway show.
The group returns on April 7.
Thorbahn also outlined upcoming high school events include sophomores meeting with Vantage representatives on Jan. 8; an ACT Boot Camp for juniors; and sophomores on Jan. 28 at the Ottawa K of C.
Superintendent and Elementary School Principal Scott Mangas announced third-grade Ohio Achievement Test scores for reading. The class had a 94-percent passage rate with two students retaking the exam in the spring; 26 percent were advanced; and 46 percent tested accelerated.
Mangas recently attended a meeting in Columbus on school funding and learned the traditional aide guarantee most schools receive will eventually be phased out but there was no talk of what would replace it, if anything.
"We will have a clearer picture of what next year will bring in February," Mangas said.
He also announced the district has contracted with Nickles Bakery for baked goods since the closure of Hostess.
In other business, the board:
• Approve the 2013-14 calendar. The first day for students will be Aug. 21, 2013. Graduation will be on May 18, 2014;
• Acknowledge Wesley Markward and Derek Schimmoeller for Honorable Mention All-District Golf; and
• Congratulated Warren Bowery and Kim Birt on the excellent Band Christmas Program conducted Dec. 12.
The board's reorganizational meeting is set for 7:30 p.m. Jan. 9.

Terry Francona is a candidate for the Cleveland Indians' managerial opening, according to major-league sources.
The biggest question is whether he will want the job.
Sources say that Francona, 53, already has had preliminary contact with the Indians, the team for whom he worked as a special assistant in 2001.
Preliminary contact ... What does that mean, anyway? Preliminary to what? Actual contact?
Maybe we can assume there has been contact between Francona's agent and Indians management, but nobody's sat down for an interview yet. But if you're running a baseball team and you're looking for a new manager, you sorta have to include Francona in the process. Considering, you know, he won a couple of World Championships. Also, he seems like a pretty sharp fellow on ESPN.
Of course there are all sorts of caveats, which Rosenthal explores in some depth. But if you have to bet on who's going to be the Indians' next manager, the smart money's probably on Terry Francona.

Ryan Carter scored 5:36 into the second period of the New Jersey Devils' 3-0 win over the Philadelphia Flyers. Normally, it would be seen as a successful play and we move on. However, this goal takes additional importance because of the larger context at the time. Not only have the Devils lost ten games in a row, not only have the Devils not taken a lead in the month of April so far, but the Devils last scored with 37 seconds left in the game in a 5-4 loss to the Boston Bruins. The Devils were scoreless in their next two games and didn't score in the first period against the Flyers. Provided I counted it correctly, the scoreless streak went 146:11. It was agonizing to watch. More so because the Devils have played very good hockey; they just weren't rewarded. Therefore, the goal that breaks that streak deserves a little more attention than just to say the drought's over. Besides, I did promise that the first Devils goal in over two games would get a breakdown in the preview of the Flyers game. So here it is.
Fortunately for me and you, the goal came off of a very good play in the neutral zone. It was a case of defense quickly turning into offense. It was also a case of good awareness by the CBGB line to turn a won puck into a dangerous rush. If that wasn't enough, Carter even got some luck his way to beat Ilya Bryzgalov high and to his right. This will all be highlighted in a goal breakdown.
The Video of the Goal
This video comes from NHL.com. All pictures in this post come from this video. Any poorly drawn arrows, lines, circles, and text were added by me. The replay of the highlight does include a Matt Read brainfart on a Flyers 3-on-1. Funny as that is to watch, it's ancillary to the goal scored. I'm going to focus on what the Devils did to end their goalless streak.
The Players On-Ice
From the NHL.com Game Summary:
New Jersey Devils: #5 Adam Larsson, #6 Andy Greene, #20 Ryan Carter, #11 Stephen Gionta, #18 Steve Bernier, #30 Martin Brodeur
Philadelphia Flyers: #22 Luke Schenn, #29 Erik Gustafsson, #12 Simon Gagne, #28 Claude Giroux, #93 Jakub Voracek, #30 Ilya Bryzgalov
The Breakdown
We begin with the Flyers breaking out of their zone and heading up ice through the neutral zone. Voracek has the puck and he's going to hit Giroux with a pass as he goes forward. Usually a good decision to give a very talented forward like Giroux the puck to enter the zone. Ryan Carter is already backchecking, trying to get Voracek to make a different decision. Andy Greene and Adam Larsson are dropping back but in good position. Over by the Flyers bench is Simon Gagne, who is biding his time a little bit before Giroux gets into the zone. Once he's in, he'll presumably follow.
Where are the other two Devils skaters? Stephen Gionta and Steve Bernier are still coming back from their forecheck. Don't worry, you'll see them both soon enough.
Voracek does get the pass off to lead Giroux forward. Yet, for one reason or another, Giroux couldn't handle it. The puck is free and that's going to allow Greene to make a play from the blueline. He's going to swipe at it just to knock it away from Giroux before he can recover. A poke-check, if you will. At a minimum, this will force the Flyers to regroup a little bit before gaining the zone.
While Carter didn't deny the pass, his focus is now on Gagne at the blueline. While Carter doesn't know what's going on with the puck, he's going to get back and provide some support on the right side should it be needed.
Again, where's Bernier and Gionta? Again, you'll see them soon enough.
But not just yet. Here's the result of Greene's poke-check. He gets enough on the puck to get it away and behind Giroux. Since Voracek peeled off back at the red line, he can't just storm ahead and pick up this puck. No, it's in space. Momentum carries Giroux forward and Gagne, assuming Giroux was going to gain the zone, already went forward. Carter maintains focus on Gagne and will follow him into the zone.
Now, look at the bench on the far left side of the frame and you'll see Gustafsson by the bench. Given that there's a teammate standing up, I figured he wanted a change. Unfortunately, he sees the puck and now has to hold up. This is going to turn out to be a problem very soon.
Now we see Gionta in frame. Note that he's on the near side of the camera, or the left side of the ice. He's got his eye on the play developing. Gionta already covered a lot of ground getting back into the neutral zone. He's going to do a lot more very soon.
Greene did his job well at the blueline. He forced the Flyers forwards to regroup and start again. Maybe they carry it in, but he and Larsson would be in position to receive them. Maybe they dump it in, which would give the two defenders or even Martin Brodeur a chance to play it. It wasn't a highlight-reel worthy action, but it was a good move. It's going to eventually result in a highlight in a few seconds.
Carter is still chasing Gagne and since he had ground to catch up, he's only about to turn here. Gagne has already turned and is about to recover the puck. He'll have to get back beyond the blueline but that shouldn't be a big issue. Giroux's in the middle of his turn so he'll get on side soon and he's got Gustafsson back as support. Gustafsson is essentially stuck where he is as he's too far away to make a play on the puck and it wouldn't be a smart idea to risk a change with the play right by him.
Now, we're four pictures in and we haven't seen Bernier yet. Here he is:
Bernier comes seemingly out of nowhere (actually, the Flyers' end) and he's about to be a real thorn in the Flyers' side. He's making a beeline for Gagne. While Gagne is experienced enough to know what to do here, he's actually in more trouble than you would think in this frame. It's a little difficult to see, but look at his stick. He's holding it close to his body and in an awkward position. Even though he had all that space to collect it, he doesn't have enough space between his body, his stick, and the puck to really control it. That's why he can't just immediately chip it to Gustafsson (is it me or is his stick up?), across to Voracek on the left side, or even all the way back to his own zone. That's also why Bernier charging at him is going to create an issue.
Meanwhile, Gionta has already moved up towards the center of the ice. He's in the middle of a long turn, but Carter is going to have plenty of room to move into. Incidentally, Schenn made it up to the red line but he's stopping here, leaning back towards his own end. He sees that Gustafsson is still on the ice and just "there" by his bench and Gagne isn't in control. Preparing for the worst, he doesn't continue forward. Keep that in mind in a few pictures.
With Bernier coming, Gagne quickly re-adjusts his stick and backhands one towards Gustafsson. He's the only player he had in his vision who was close to him. While Gagne got it away in time before Bernier came, you'll notice that Gustafsson doesn't play it. His stick wasn't on the ice. It wasn't in the last picture. In this one, it's at waist level. He may be coming down with it but that means the puck is in space. It's moving and who knows whether it'll be where Gustafsson can play it when his stick blade does get to ice level. That means the puck can be won. That means all Bernier has to do is beat Gagne to the puck and knock it away. It's like a battle along the boards only the guy actually along the boards isn't in control.
Incidentally, the other three Flyers are all standing watching here. That's not a criticism of Schenn or Voracek, who are both too far away to do anything about it. From my perspective, Giroux could have followed Gagne and tried to provide some additional support. I actually understand his decision to hang back, figuring a veteran like Gagne can simply collect a puck, make a pass, and try to enter the zone again. Giroux jumping in could've just got in Gagne's way, too. However, in retrospect, I figure the Philadelphia captain would have tried it anyway.
Now, I can't really capture what happened along the boards in a single frame and a bunch of them would've been confusing. Here's the summary: Gagne actually denies Bernier a chance a the puck with a stick lift. That's why both of their sticks are still raised high. That's good for Philadelphia. Gustafsson actually did get his stick down and tried to dump it in or at least get it away from where he is at the moment. That's the right idea. However, the execution of said idea was abysmal. He missed. I'm serious. He just whiffed on it. As he got his stick down, the puck slid by his feet and ultimately went through them. Gustafsson not paying close attention less than a second earlier ruined his timing to get his team out of a sticky situation. That's bad for Philadelphia.
Stephen Gionta is in a perfect position to make it worse for Philadelphia. While Bernier was getting defended by Gagne, Gionta just followed the play. He hustled his way from the center towards the play on the far side of the camera, or the right side, and the puck is just right there for him. I took a guess as to what he's thinking. It was probably something else, possibly wittier or unrelated. Whatever. It's a gift for #11.
Gionta picking up a loose puck in motion is bad enough but look at the rest of the Flyers in this picture. It exacerbates the issue. Gagne's out of the play as he had to do what he did against Bernier. Giroux's out of the play. Gustafsson missed and he's about to be a victim of a takeaway by the official scorer as well as out of the play. Voracek left his spot on the left side and went towards the middle. Not only is he too far to do anything, Carter's going to have space to burst ahead behind him. Only Luke Schenn - that's his stick on the far left side of the frame - and Bryzgalov are in any kind of position to do something about what Gionta could do with the puck.
Stephen Gionta is now skating hard towards the Flyers zone with the puck in complete control. He's also got a lot of attention from everyone. All five Flyers skaters are looking at him in this frame. Voracek's vision is particularly notable because he's unaware that Carter is going blow by his flank. Carter's also looking at Gionta and knows he's going to need some additional support once he gets into the zone. Therefore, he kicks it into higher gear so it's not going to be a one-on-one between Schenn and Gionta with a lot of bodies coming from behind.
Gionta's in the zone and Schenn correctly moves towards him. He has his stick out in the hopes of forcing Gionta to keep going forward instead of giving him a chance to make a lead pass or cut to the middle. Voracek and Carter are just heading into the Flyers zone. It's worth noting that Voracek had a bit of a head start. Carter really turned up whatever jets he had to catch up. Voracek doesn't know that Carter is behind him. Schenn does, which again, is another reason why his stick is out.
Gionta decides to make a lead pass, hoping his linemate Carter will get there in time. If you want to talk about a good break, then here's another one after Greene's pokecheck got enough on the puck to knock it behind Giroux, Gagne's awkward handling forced him to make a hurried decision, and Gustafsson whiffing on a puck along the boards. Look very closely at the black circle. You'll see the puck and two sticks. Schenn's stick blade has to be not more than a few inches away from the puck. He was so close to denying the pass. Likewise, Gionta's pass was so close to being denied and having the play derailed. They don't say it about hockey, but it can be a game of inches too.
Anyway, Carter's still out of Voracek's sight. However, Voracek is a smart guy and he must have figured out by now that Gionta isn't passing it to an invisible teammate. He's about to find out it's Carter very soon.
Carter stretches out his stick but not so much so he has to dangle it to receive the pass. He can't one time it but that's OK. It was a successful lead pass as he received it, it was too far for Voracek to do try and disrupt it, and Carter is in a position to do something with it. Again, look at the Flyers in this picture. Schenn sees the play but as momentum carried him back, he's essentially out of the picture. He can't do anything to Carter unless Carter delays or doesn't go forward. Gionta has done his job after a lot of skating just to get back, take the puck, and go forward. Voracek now sees Carter and he's the only skater who can make a defensive play.
As for the goalie, well, Bryzgalov's positioning leaves a little bit to be desired in my eyes. He's only now turning towards Carter. He's still within his crease. Perhaps he was out further in case he had to cut off the angle for Gionta and moving forced him to drop back a little. Perhaps he wasn't out to begin with and he's only forward now. Either way, he's got to move briskly. While Carter could and did not one-time it - and perhaps he didn't want to - he needs to get in position fast.
After Carter settles it while moving a few feet forward, he decides to shoot it just past the top of the left circle. He's already committed, this shot is about to happen. Voracek saw him prepare and desperately stretched out his stick either to deflect the shot away or even block it. Schenn and Gionta are out of the play; the Flyers defenseman is focused on Gionta to try and neutralize him from doing any other damage. Bryzgalov has his eyes locked on Carter. He's in a standard stand-up form in preparation for the shot. However, look at where he is inside the crease. He's not deep in it, but he really could have tried to be out a foot further to give Carter a worse angle to shoot at. As it turns out, it'll be a moot point thanks to Voracek.
In the additional replays with the video, there is a close up on the sticks of both players as Carter shoots it. Here's the best screen shot I could get from it. The puck was flat when Carter was about to shoot it. It started wobbling in mid-air after Carter released it. We know that in combination with Voracek's stick shifting that he got a piece of it. His desperate lunge did work to a degree. Unfortunately for him, his good deed goes punished because all it did was just touch it off. We also know that a deflection can change the direction and velocity of a shot. But since Voracek's blade only got so much, it didn't alter it too much. I can't tell you what Carter was aiming for. I can tell you he shot it hard and where it ended up.
For the first time in a little over seven periods, it was in the back of the net. Bryzgalov guessed it was coming in close because he just clenched his form. Because of the sudden deflection, he's looking in confusion at the puck dropping out of the top left corner. Voracek's good intentions paved the road towards a loss for his team. Ryan Carter finished a play by Stephen Gionta with non-assists to Bernier's pressure in the neutral zone and Greene's play at the blueline that eventually turned into the goal. The drought was over.
The Conclusion
The goal rewarded good play by the Devils thanks to some fortunate occurrences. Let's summarize them: Greene made the right decision to go for a pokecheck on Giroux at the blueline. The fortune was in how the puck traveled after he swiped at it. Bernier came back to pressure Gagne and then tried to win a puck in the neutral zone. The fortune was in how Gagne's awkward handling and Gustafsson's timing being so off thanks to his stick not being on the ice. (As an aside, I'm sure Peter Laviolette is going to love seeing that when he reviews the video from the game.) Gionta covered a lot of ground in seconds, followed the play along the boards such that he would be in position to pick up the loose puck, and he made a great leading pass to Carter. The fortune there was that he was in the right spot for the puck after it slid through Gustafsson's legs and then he got the pass off just ahead of Schenn's stick. Carter received the puck after skating hard up-ice on Voracek's blind side, settled it without losing control, and shot it in for a goal. The fortune there was that Voracek made a desperate lunge for the puck and while he got a piece of it, all it did was re-direct a hard shot past his goaltender, who was expecting something else.
This goal was the result of good defense to start things off, good awareness in the neutral zone and on offense, a lot of hustle by the forwards, and good luck both in the Devils' decisions turning right and the Flyers' own errors. I emphasize the "and" there because most goals scored require something out of the scoring players' control to go their way. For a while, the Devils would do all of those other things but something went awry to turn it into anything but a goal. In that game and for a team that was in such a scoring slump, getting the benefit of additional fortune - Voracek's deflection, if nothing else - made the difference. That's why there's a goal breakdown at all.
Your Take
How did you react when you saw Carter score? What did you think of this breakdown? Which part of the play other than the goal itself impressed you the most? Isn't it amazing how so much can go wrong or go right in seconds? Did I miss anything in this breakdown that you noticed? Please leave your answers and other thoughts about this goal and the goal breakdown itself in the comments. Thank you for reading.

The number of marijuana plants eradicated from California's 18 national forests is up this year following three consecutive years of decline.
Law enforcement has so far removed 989,277 plants from the Pacific Southeast region, up from 811,163 plants last year, said John Heil, spokesman for the U.S. Forest Service's Pacific Southwest Region. The region includes California and a tiny portion of Oregon and Nevada.
California is responsible for most of the marijuana found growing in national forests nationwide, Heil said. Of 970,094 plants seized in federal forests last year, 838,358 were in California, he said.
Eradication figures by forest were not available.
The number of pot plants seized to date on private and state lands in California also were not available Friday.
While the numbers are up, this year's marijuana yield is so far well below the 2009 peak, when more than 3.6 million plants were seized in California's federal forests.
There are a number of different theories for the rises and declines in the annual plant counts.
In the years leading up to the 2009 peak, there were more available resources, including officers, and there were increases in concerted, multi-agency efforts to combat pot production, Heil said. That not only increased the number of plants seized that year, it may have led to the declines in subsequent years.
"We recognize some (pot growers) will have moved" out of the forests and onto private lands, Heil said.
Some growers also may have been discouraged by recent efforts to remove their infrastructure, including water pipes and chemicals, said Mike Johnson, commander of the state Department of Justice's Campaign Against Marijuana Planting. CAMP is a multi-agency task force that assists local, state and federal authorities with marijuana eradication.
Johnson did not have his agency's eradication figures but estimated that CAMP has assisted with the removal of nearly 1 million plants this year. Its numbers overlap those of other agencies, including the U.S. Forest Service, which is the lead agency for multi-agency pot eradication efforts that are winding down on federal forest lands.

I bought the sapphire infinity bracelet--its really nice! I love it!
VERY NICE FOR THE PRICE! should have ordered several at this price!
Very pretty, nicely made and comfortable to wear. It was purchased as a gift, but I am keeping it!
Perfect for a bridesmaids gift of jewelry to wear at the wedding. Not too expensive, unlike what I could find at department stores. Very pretty and great quality.
I bought it as a gift for Christmas for my sister-in-law. She loves topas and absolutely loves it.
Bracelet is very beautiful. I received many compliments whenever I wore it.

After much anticipation, Brandon Jennings made his Detroit debut on Sunday night. The former Milwaukee Buck was signed-and-traded this past offseason to the Pistons in exchange for Brandon Knight, Khris Middleton and Viacheslav Kravtsov. The 6′ 1″ guard missed much of the preseason and the first two games of the regular season due to a fractured jaw caused by a wisdom tooth.
His first game at the Palace was a success. Jennings entered the game midway through the first quarter, wearing a clear mask that protected his face and chin. He finished with 12 points, 4 assists and 4 steals in the Pistons' (2-1) 87-77 win over the Boston Celtics (0-3).
Jennings, however, did take the facemask off in the fourth quarter.
"I'm not used to playing with something on my face so it was my decision to take it off," he said.
A couple of the most significant plays of the game came from Jennings. After the Celtics cut their deficit to 79-77 with under two minutes to play, he forced two turnovers. His first was a steal that he dished off to Rodney Stuckey who was fouled. He drained two free throws to give the Pistons some breathing room.
Head coach Maurice Cheeks was pleased with Jennings' play.
"It was good to see him out there and the effect he can have on the team," Cheeks said. "He brings a little electricity to a game."

Have you heard the one about Erol Alkan? The humble 12 year old maestro-in-the-making who sneaks out the window of his parents flat to play gigs for a tenner? About the bearded studio-sorcerer worshipped by bands and DJ�s half his age as a living electronic idol? About the kid in his early 20s who�s founded that Trash night in London where they�re playing Bowie and basslines at the same time?
I heard that he invented the mash-up. I heard that he created the second coming of French Touch just by remixing Justice�s �Waters Of Nazareth�. I heard he bought guitar music back from the grave. No, it was electronic music. Or was it reggae? I heard he once revived a Roland 303 just by looking at it. Didn�t you hear? He�s bringing psychedelia back? Wait � I heard he�s bringing Disco back? Didn�t you hear?
That�s the thing about Erol Alkan � hearing is believing. Until you�ve borne witness to one of his legendary live sets, poured headily over one of his meticulously crafted productions, or been catapulted to a sudden sonic nirvana by the dropping of one of his remixes, you might be justified for dismissing his existence as an extremely elaborate myth of the musical underground. After all, how can one man, still in his early thirties, have kept so many kids dancing for so long?
Look no further than the well-worn T-Shirt: L.O.V.E. is the answer. What kept Erol on the cutting edge of the independent and electronic scenes for the decade he ran Trash until its final night in January 2007, and at the forefront of bold new territories in the musical cosmos in the years that have followed, is his unwavering devotion to the music he plays. His studious interests across the sonic spectrum made it inevitable that at some point he would cross the boards and start to create music as well as play it, and in 2001 he took his first steps under the nom-de-guerre Kurtis Rush. His alchemical fusion of George Michael and Missy Elliot resulted in 24 carat party gold, and �Bastard Pop� was born, with Erol as one of it�s founding figureheads alongside Soulwax and Richard X, reaching its apex with Kylie performing Erol�s infamous �Can�t Get You Out Of My Head� fusion with New Order�s �Blue Monday� live at the 2002 Brit Awards. The Manchester legends, also one of Alkan�s favourite ever bands, loved it so much they returned the favour, often performing the �mash up� live. Coupled with the electroclash earthquake that was rippling through London (epicentre: Trash, Monday nights), Erol found himself at the forefront of both movements, and with a gamut of notable new admirers and friends.
It wasn�t long before Erol was lending his magic touch to increasingly higher profile releases, with his remixes of Alter Egos� �Rocker� and Mylo�s �Drop The Pressure� proving unavoidable on the dancefloors of 2004. Remixes for Bloc Party, Death From Above 1979 and The Chemical Brothers ensued, followed by Erol�s first truly legendary contribution to dance music�s canon: The Glam Racket Rework of Franz Ferdinand�s �Do You Want To�, which impressed the band so much that they incorporated elements of the remix into their live tour.
Erol�s profile was rapidly ascending, Trash was packed every Monday with a baying crowd of technicolour admirers and celebrity exotica yearning to witness the signature Alkan marriage of the electronic and the independent, but that didn�t curtail his quest for innovation. 2006 would see him take the covers off the mega-yacht he had been secretly building in his studio � his �Balearic Trilogy� of remixes; The Klaxons �Golden Skans�, Hot Chip�s �Boy From School� and The Scissor Sisters �I Don�t Feel Like Dancing�. Those expecting saturated rock fuzz and thumping electronica were confounded; finding instead a trio of blissed out, spectral and unapologetically ambitious responses to the original material. All three remixes would become dance floor hits, despite the adventurous new sound, and compromise to Erol�s favourite remix work to date.
2006 also saw the beginning of studio collaborations with The Long Blondes, and in the producer�s role for the first time in his life. Asked to work on their debut single for Rough Trade, the session yielded �Fulwood Babylon�, a melancholic disco gem that found it�s way to every corner of the interweb. Among it�s many admirers were The Mystery Jets, who approached Erol to collaborate on a few tracks, resulting in a series of B-sides. These first tracks were to be only the very beginning of a long and fruitful recording relationship.
With such a studio intensive 2006, you might be forgiven for thinking that Erol�s live presence had taken a back seat, but you would be very much mistaken. The year saw him support Madonna (at Koko) and Daft Punk (at Global Gathering), and to cap it all off he was voted Mixmag�s prestigious DJ Of The Year award, as well as Best International Dj.
Fast forward to 2008, and the first Alkan studio alumni had released their own sophomore albums, with The Long Blondes critically acclaimed �Couples�, and Mystery Jets pop opus �Twenty One� featuring the UK hit singles �Young Love� and �Two Doors Down�, both produced by Erol. Outside of those two carefully nurtured albums, Erol found time to unite with Franz Ferdinand to produce a cover of LCD Soundsystem�s �All My Friends�, record a couple of b-sides with genial art pop mavericks and Mercury Music Prize winners Klaxons, and to harness the mysterious powers of prodigal psych-prog rockers Late Of The Pier in the form of singles �Bathroom Gurgle�, �Space And The Woods�, The Bears Are Coming� and �Focker�. The full Alkan produced debut album drops in late 2008.
And in truth, that�s only the half of it. For more than two years, on the odd nights of the year that he�s not duty bound to be Erol Alkan, he has been known to don the mantle of �Mustapha 3000� and dabble in the mysterious rites of �Beyond The Wizards Sleeve� � a warped balearic psychedelic brotherhood consisting of Erol and The Grid�s Richard Norris. Part folk astronauts, part electronic necromancers, they have reanimated songs by Midlake, Findlay Brown, Goldfrapp, and Tracey Thorn into beautiful, searing moments of euphoric bliss. Each remix wildly different to the next, The Sleeve (as they are known to their fans) continue, like Erol himself, to be impossible to pin down, having recently completed their first major work, a four part series of EP�s.
