HOCKEY; Ducks' Last-Minute Goal Leads to Overtime Win
Published: May 21, 2007
The Anaheim Ducks were within a minute of losing a game that could have led to the end of their season.
In overtime, Teemu Selanne had a split-second to decide what to do with the puck. He made the right choice.
Selanne scored 11 minutes 57 seconds into the extra period Sunday and lifted Anaheim to a 2-1 comeback victory over the Detroit Red Wings and a 3-2 lead in the Western Conference finals.
With 47.3 seconds left in regulation, Scott Niedermayer's deflected shot fluttered over Dominik Hasek's glove on a power play to tie the score and force overtime.
Andreas Lilja, who scored Detroit's lone goal, turned the puck over to Selanne by missing it in front of the net. Selanne made a quick move before sending a backhander over a sprawling Hasek.
''Everything happened so quickly,'' Selanne said. ''You don't have enough time to plan anything.
''But I've been practicing that move my whole life. I knew I had to get it up. He goes down and covers up everything down low.''
Lilja said he messed up on the play.
''It's not supposed to happen, but it happens,'' he said. ''It hurts, but we have to put this behind us and move on.''
Game 6 is Tuesday night in Anaheim, where the Ducks will have a chance to win their third game in a row in the series and to advance to the Stanley Cup finals for the second time. Detroit Coach Mike Babcock led Anaheim past the Red Wings en route to the 2003 finals.
The Red Wings had plenty of chances to score more goals but finished 0 for 7 on the power play. Detroit had a man advantage that started 7:53 into overtime, but could not get the puck past Jean-S?stien Gigu?, who improved to 12-1 after regulation in the playoffs.

text: For lovers of horse and avid students of American Revolutionary War history, this event had it ALL - beautiful weather, a pristine conference-site, world-class presenters, handsome riders and absolutely stunning horses. This was a joint effort by the Southern Campaigns of the American Revolution (SCAR), Wofford College, and the South Carolina Historical Society to shed light on the contribution of Cavalry forces in the fight for independence. European influences were adapted, and sometimes countered, by American dragoons who used horses in their own unique fashion to scout territory, carry messages swiftly from one battefield to another, and to wreak havoc among the enemy's infantrymen. This Photo Gallery catalogues the event by portraying a majority of the conference presenters, providing images of "place", and recording the presence of the American Patriots who gathered to participate.

What is the best way to stop a spider in its tracks without smashing it? The answer is hair spray, the pump kind. It'll stick all the spider hairs together and freeze it in its tracks without discoloring it like a bug spray would.
"If you smash them, there's no way we can tell what they are. If you use certain chemicals on them, they're just so mangled that we can't tell what they are, so we need something we can look at. Hairspray preserves, so we can see it," says Jim Speigel of Gafford Pest Control.
Jim also says the spider is disabled enough you can put it in a jar to be identified. So, why is that such a big deal? Because the Brown Recluse, which is common in this area, has a poisonous bite that can eat right through tissue and leave a gaping hole. But the Brown Recluse is easy to spot with its violin shaped marking on its back.
So, next time you go looking for a shoe to smash a spider in the house, bring the hair spray instead so you can get a good look at what you've killed.

Nancy Steele, now 40 years old, is silly and ignorant and spends all her time visiting with relatives and friends. When no one else will take her, she stays with Lucy. At the beginning, she and Lucy argue so Nancy informs the Palmers that she will be visiting them. She overstays her welcome.
Mr. Palmer is acquainted with Mr. Retford, an old man who is frail and ill and does not like to have his life changed in any way. His heir and granddaughter, Louisa, is 16 and just finished with school. Mr. Retford does not want her to live with him, so he has his housekeeper set up a residence for her, for the summer, in Brightsea, a new and fashionable seaside resort.Young Miss Retford must have a companion, so, in order to get rid of her, Mr. Palmer recommends Miss Steele who decides to take the situation.
The story is very slow until about two-thirds of the way through the book. It then picks up for a few chapters, but slows down again at the end, which I did not find satisfying. Louisa Retford, our heroine, has little to recommend her. Miss Steele is annoying. Lucy Ferrars visits Brightsea with her children, but her character is not very interesting. In fact, most of the characters are tiresome and the plot is thin and predictable.
Since I think that each person should form her/his own opinions, if you should happen upon this book, you should give it a try. I do not, however, think that it is worth making any special attempts to find it or buy it.

VA talks a great deal about implementing comprehensive primary care for women Veterans. It's something we're committed to and something we're proud of. For us, those words relay a promise to deliver the highest quality health care to every woman Veteran at every VA facility.
But for Rebecca Henderson, those words meant nothing in 2009 when she visited Louis A. Johnson VA Healthcare System (LAJVAHS) Women's Clinic in Clarksburg, West Virginia, for a check-up. The only words that were significant that morning were "mammogram" and, later, "breast cancer." On that day, Rebecca agreed to have her first mammogram because her provider—who told her about the state-of-the-art mammogram equipment the clinic had recently acquired—suggested it.
Comprehensive primary care means providing women Veterans with their gender-specific and gender-neutral care from the same provider at the same place, and when possible, at the same visit. VA's initiative to expand this type of care to all our facilities includes purchasing equipment, such as mammography machines, and training primary care providers in all aspects of women's health. Rebecca directly benefitted from all these efforts.
After they found breast cancer, the staff at LAJVAHS scheduled a biopsy for Rebecca at Ruby Memorial Hospital in Morgantown, West Virginia, and guided her through her treatments. Rebecca is now cancer-free for a year and a strong advocate for regular mammograms and for VA health care.
To me, that's the promise of comprehensive primary care.
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Read more about how VA delivers women Veterans top-quality care for breast cancer prevention and treatment, and find tools and resources to raise awareness of breast cancer in October and beyond at VA's Women Veterans Health page.
Dr. Patricia Hayes is the Chief Consultant for Women Veterans Health at VA.

As a way to get a hockey fix over the summer, would anyone be interested in playing a pickup game with Rink members? If we get about 20 people or so, we should be able to get some ice on a weekday evening for around $15 per person. If there's enough interest, I can look into specific dates/prices to throw it together.
So...reply if you're interested, and if you have a preference of location. I'm partial to playing in Rockville, myself, since there's usually ice available for a good price and you can bring adult beverages / tailgate in the lot afterwards, but I'm open to suggestion. Also, I'm a goalie, but we'll need one more...any other netminders out there who would be interested?

After eight years on the road as a technology consultant with Accenture, I decided to take a management position with Chicago Public Schools in 2008. Being in my home city everyday made it apparent that I had developed very few personal and professional relationships in Chicago. A valued mentor recommended that I expand my network and actively engage people on a deeper level. This interview series is the result of that exercise in self-development. In this part of my personal and professional journey, I will share the stories of the insightful, inspiring, talented and accomplished Chicagoans I meet along the way.
Be sure to follow my blog via email so that you receive updates on new interviews and articles.

Brandon is Managing Director of Teach for America's recruitment and selection team and Chief of Staff to the Executive Vice President . I met Brandon Sammut at a Diversity and Inclusion Committee meeting for the Young Non-Profit Professionals Network in Chicago. He was one of many dynamic and interesting individuals in this group and the first that I have interviewed for my executive interview series. Brandon has lived in cities from coast to coast and now calls Chicago home. His belief in equitable access to resources and opportunities (especially education) comes across strongly in this interview. For Brandon, "leadership is about the three C's: courage, candor, and care. I try to put my words and deeds through that filter every day. Am I acting courageously? Am I being honest with myself and others? Am I exhibiting care in all that I say and do?"

CORONADO, Calif. (CBS 8) - The results of a second autopsy on Rebecca Zahau were released Tuesday on the Dr. Phil Show, four months after she was reportedly found hanging off a balcony at Coronado's Spreckels mansion.
San Diego County Sheriff Department investigators ruled Zahau's death a suicide by hanging but her family believes it was murder.
Zahau's body was exhumed from a cemetery in St. Joseph, Missouri and flown to Pittsburgh for the second autopsy, which was performed by respected forensic pathologist Dr. Cyril Wecht.
"I feel like my sister hasn't rested yet because I don't have an answer for her, as far as what happened to her," Rebecca's sister Mary Zahau-Loehner told the host, Dr. Phil McGraw.
"When we did exhume her, I felt like they won again. It felt like it started all over again," said Zahau-Loehner.
"It's a case that just cries out for answers and investigation," Zahau family attorney Anne Bremner told Dr. Phil. "We even have mixed DNA in her fingernail clippings."
Dr. Wecht, appeared via satellite on the TV show and reported, "I lean very strongly toward it being a homicide – something involving foul play – and lean very strongly against it being a suicide."
Dr. Wecht said Zahau's neck was not broken and he believes it should have been, given the nine-foot drop off the balcony described in her initial autopsy report.
"I believe that if the body had just plummeted down with that sheer drop of several feet, then the cervical vertebrae would have been fractured or dislocated; separated one from the other, or from the base of the skull," Dr. Wecht concluded.
During his autopsy, Dr. Wecht had a chance to examine four head injuries that did not break the skin but caused bleeding underneath Zahau's scalp.
The San Diego County Medical Examiner has described those head injures as "relatively minor" and said in a September statement that "she may have struck her head on the balcony on the way down."
Dr. Wecht disagreed with that conclusion.
"You have to have blunt force trauma. You have to have the head impacting against some object four times; or be struck by something four times in a round, blunt force nature," said Dr. Wecht.
"I would like to hear from them how you get four separate impacts to the top of the head in a vertical hanging," Wecht continued. "And, the significance of that is that those kinds of impacts might lead to a concussion and could lead to temporary unconsciousness."
In an exclusive interview with News 8, Dr. Phil McGraw said he found the results of the second autopsy compelling.
"He (Dr. Wecht) basically says it probably would have decapitated the body because of the force," Dr. Phil told News 8's Phil Blauer.
"His conclusion is there are huge unanswered questions here and there is no way this should be deemed a suicide," said Dr. Phil, who believes the case should be re-opened.
"I think there are answers that may be available and if they are, this family will have peace of mind," Dr. Phil said. "The explanations don't need to lead to murder but they need to be explanations where they say, 'Okay, I get it. Now I can move on and begin to heal.'"
San Diego Sheriff Bill Gore issued the following written statement at 7:12 p.m. on Tuesday, responding to the Dr. Phil Show series of reports:
After personally reviewing the two-part show by entertainment psychologist PhilMcGraw, Sheriff Bill Gore explained, "No new information has been provided by this secondautopsy." The case remains concluded.
"To date," Sheriff Gore said, "neither our detectives, nor the Medical Examiner's Officehave been presented with any new evidence from this examination. If Dr. Wecht, or MissBremner would like to share information they believe is pertinent with our investigators, wewould be glad to meet with them, rather than hear their results on television, presented asentertainment."Sheriff Gore advised those who appeared on the "Dr. Phil" show altered andmisrepresented facts, as well as omitted pertinent details all together. For example, the guests on the show referred to mixed DNA underneath Rebecca's fingernails. There were 13 samples taken from fingernails of both hands. Each of the samples was analyzed separately. In twelve of the samples, the DNA results were consistent with the presence of DNA from only one person.The DNA types found in these samples matched the DNA of Rebecca Zahau. In one of thesamples, the results indicated the presence of DNA from at least two people. The majority of the DNA present was consistent with Rebecca's DNA. The amount of information obtained from the other contributor(s) was so minute; it was not possible to identify the source.It is important to understand that small amounts of DNA can be transferred easily throughany number of ways including something as ethereal as a breath.Their 'findings' that 'someone' had logged on to Rebecca's computer had already beeninvestigated by our detectives and it was simply determined to be an automatic computer update.Further, Dr. Wecht did not reach out to the San Diego County Medical Examiner's Officeor the Sheriff's Office to attend the autopsy, as is normal protocol to establish and maintain aclean chain of custody, should new evidence be found.According to Sheriff Gore, "This is nothing more than sensationalism at its lowest pointand the family is only enduring more suffering from this insensitivity."

[We are ranking the Big Games of the Aughts. So far, we have #10: 2007, #9: 2000, #8: 2001, #7: 2006, #6: 2003, #5: 2005, #4: 2004, #3: 2008, and #2: 2009. Now, SURPRISE! we have the best Big Game of the 2000s, 2002. Deal with it!]
Like some sort of Civil War post-battle tableau, plumed hats were strewn lifelessly across the Memorial Stadium field. Nobody cared. Our high step wasn't quite so high. Nobody cared. Nobody cared, because it was November 16, 2002. Nobody cared, because the date everybody had circled in their calendar, November 23, 2002, was a week away. Nobody cared, because the moment Cal fans had been waiting nearly two presidential terms for was just 7 measly days away.
It wasn't just the marching band that couldn't focus on November 16, 2002. Not even the team itself seemed as focused on November 16, 2002. On that day, the team ended up losing to Arizona 52-41. This was a Cal team that had been ranked earlier in the season after beating Michigan State on the road versus an Arizona team that was 0-7 in the Pac10. At home. 0-7 in the Pac10! An Arizona team so bad that coach John Mackovic nearly lost his job in a player insurrection after, well, you can read it for yourself:
Midway through the 2002 season, Mackovic told tight end Justin Levasseur that he was a disgrace to his family. This and other incidents led 40 players (including future Pro Bowler Lance Briggs) to hold a secret meeting with school president Peter Likins. The players complained about Mackovic's constant verbal abuse, such as an ugly tirade after a loss to Wisconsin.
You have to be either pretty bad or pretty unfocused to lose to a team like this. Considering the talent level and coaching ability of the 2002 team, I think it is pretty obvious that it is the latter. After the jump, let's take a closer look at the reason why nobody ever in the history of anything cared about the Cal v. Arizona game: The 2002 Big Game. GO BEARS!
You don't understand. You don't get it. If you are reading this, you are upset, because you think that 2009 should be the #1 game. Hell, 2004 might even be above 2002 in your book. Well, guess what! If there is one thing we don't care about here at the California Golden Blogs, it is the reader's opinion (just kidding.......sorta, ok, not really). And for us, well we put 2002 at the top. It changed everything, don't you understand. No, you don't.
via grfx.cstv.com
Most of our readership stems from fans in their early to mid 20s. Far more likely to curse the name J. Ayoob instead of J. Torchio. To them, beating Stanford is a standard Saturday afternoon with a small blip in one year that nobody can barely remember and really did it even count, I mean Kevin Riley never played a single snap, I mean c'mon! For people of my generation and older who have been following Cal at any time before, say, 2004, beating Stanford is a strenuous activity likened generally to climbing Mt. Everest, while carrying Mt. Kilimanjaro in your backpack.
Before the 2002 Big Game victory over Stanford, Cal had lost 7 straight times. 7! Seven! However you pronounce seven in Spanish (potentially seveno)! For all of Cal's Big Game success in the 2000s, we have yet to beat Stanford 7 times in a row. We did 5 in a row, but not 7. So, to you this might just be a boring game where the Standard Stanfraud Beatdown occurred.
via grfx.cstv.com
To fans who lived through at least 2 of those Big Game losses (especially 2000!), this was as cathartic a victory as you could ever find, outside of, say, the 2004 World Series. Us fans we needed this game, we yearned, oh how we yearned.
What happened in the game itself, you ask, while leafing aimlessly through New To Cal Monthly? WHO CARES!?!?!? What is this, some sort of sports-blog? Man, I dunno, Joey Joe Joe Shabado Igber ran for what seemed like 4,000 yards. Although Stanford scored first on a Teyo Johnson free throw or TD or home run or penalty kick or whatever sport he happened to be playing at that time, Cal was up big by half and never looked back. To an objective observer, it would have been fairly boring. To those of us in the stadium, it was a giant party that lasted for hours. And it wasn't just the fans having fun:
"We didn't want it to be dramatic. We didn't want a close game," Cal cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha said. "Just the fact that we won was drama enough. I've never seen the fans like that in here. The excitement was all over the building. I don't think we've ever had that at home."
via grfx.cstv.com
Yes, that Joe Igber. That Hawaii 5-0 loving Joe Igber. One of the most underrated backs in the Tedford era. A truly humble gentleman. Check this out:
Igber had the biggest rushing day in Big Game history, repeatedly slicing through Stanford's defense for huge gains on just 26 carries. Igber finished his Cal career with 3,124 yards, passing Chuck Muncie and Paul Jones to finish second in school history behind Russell White.
"People will forget about me in the next couple of months, but I did what I came here to do," Igber said. "We got the win. We got the Axe. That's all that matters."
That quote always strikes me as truly awesome and humble. This quote will bring a smile to even the oldest of the Old Blues:
Johnson caught five passes for 61 yards for Stanford, which ended its worst season since 1983 with a five-game losing streak that left the Cardinal in last place in the Pac-10. It was Stanford's worst offensive output in the Big Game since 1967.
via grfx.cstv.com
Look, I could go through the stats and the play by play and show some interesting stuff. Or I could just to my favorite part, perhaps my favorite memory ever as a Cal fan. Spoiler Alert: We had a lot of yards, they had a few. We ran well (like Joe Igber for 226 yards on the day!), they did not. Ok, favorite memory time! A few years ago (it's insane to me that we can count the amount of time on CGB and also on SBN in multiple years now), I did a post on the 2002 Big Game from a slightly different angle. It was that favorite Big Game memory. I will now quote liberally from that post:
With a few minutes left in the game, the fans started to sort of rush the field. They rushed the ground around the field, as it were. Slowly, but surely, the fans came out of the stands to surround the gamefield in anticipation of rushing the field, itself. As the time slowly clicked down towards zero, the field became illuminated in humanity. This great mass of drunken energy just thrashing about the sidelines, chomping at the bit to rush the field. Those of us in the band did become briefly concerned that we might have to forfeit if they rushed too early.
With about 7 seconds left in the game, Cal recovered a fumble, essentially sealing the game. I have the clearest memory of a shirtless man becoming incredibly agitated, if not also inebriated, at that point and just started running around the field of play as the Cal offense ran onto the field for 1 last down. But for the Cal offense, it was, ultimately, too late. The genie (i.e. shirtless drunken fool) was already out of the toothpaste bottle (uh, ok, keep metaphor separate in the future). That mass of drunken humanity streamed onto the field with a stunning alacrity. They paraded the axe, other fans, and even football players like Kyle Boller, Ravens backup QB of the future around the field on their shoulders.
A phlanx of yellow shirted guards took their positions at the goal post. In the past 7 years, when Cal lost, there had been occasions of Cal fans rushing the field and rioting. One year, they attacked the Stanford Tree and tore it to bits. Another year, they tore the *Stanford* goalposts up. Another year, they attempted to rush the field, but were met by a veritable SWAT team of police, who held the angry Cal students at bay.
This time, WE WERE NOT TO BE DENIED! We had waited so many years for this sweet nectar. It was OUR time. We were going to get those goalposts. Sorta! Cal fans managed to get to the North goal post. One student, who later got busted in this, because he was a student government senator, climbed atop the middle-bar of the goal post. When the students managed to pull the goal post over, he all of a sudden found himself dozens of feet in the air. A hushed grasp fell over the conglomeration of students as they feared he might fall and hurt himself. However, he slid down from the suddenly high middle post to the suddenly low side post to safety! And with that, a might cheer went up from the heroes of Shelbyville. They had banished the awful lemon tree forever, because it was haunted. Now, let's all celebrate with a cool glass of turnip juice.
Or something.
As for the South goal post, the army of yellow shirts stood strong. Now, maybe another school might have given up. Perchance USC students would have merely called in one of their butlers to handle the situation. But not the always resourceful Cal students. They carried the North goal post down to the South goal post, using it as a potential battering ram against the guards there. The guards, realizing who wanted it more, scattered and soon the South goal post was down, too! We're such problem solvers! Go us!
One of the goal posts was left in the stadium. The other was carried down Bancroft to Sproul Plaza, scratching innumerable cars along the way. Sure, destruction of private property is never great, but tell that to the fans, who RODE THE GOAL POST DOWN THE STREET. Which wasn't me, unfortunately. But, fortunately, in the Band, we marched the entire band all throughout the City of Berkeley stopping at innumerable places to play fight songs and cheer on the inevitable drunken rabbling rousing occuring nearby.
It was definitely a unique game at Cal and one that is unlikely to be repeated (mostly, because I hope we never, yknow, lose 7 years to Stanford again). It was for all the years of students who never saw the Axe in Berkeley. It was for all the fans, who had suffered through the 2000 Big Game, a really rough OT loss to Stanford. Sure, to the objective observer it was probably just a boring 30-7 victory of one mediocre team over another mediocre team. But that day in November 2002, there were no objective observers in Memorial Stadium.
Cal has had "bigger" victories in Memorial since then, beating teams like USC and Tennessee at home. But none of those carry the emotional panache and epic catharsis of Big Game 2002. It will remain in the pantheon of Cal victories, one of the finest games ever played. Go Bears!

One more take, from the DiaTribe
Paul gives a very thoughtful take and asks the pivotal question, who's fault is this? Not unlike my piece, he focuses in on that brief period in 2008 when both aces were actually pitching like aces, noting that the Indians nonetheless were 37-51 when Sabathia was traded. An interesting note is the Casey Blake quote, that losing the ALCS changed the direction of the franchise. I don't think Blake is right. I think even had we won the World Series, the subsequent moves probably would have dropped in roughly the same order, 1-2-3. Those moves were made for a reason, and they had nothing to do with what happened n 2007.

I like to see how much the animals are auctioned off for and what the judges are looking for in the animals. I like to see the work the owners put into the animals. Seeing the difference between a healthy animals and ones that may need a little more help before they can be auctioned off."

"I like observing beautiful animals. I used to raise Dogs. I've learned to appreciate a well balanced emotional and physical animal. Whether it's horses or cows, you can almost sense the emotions – especially of a horse – when they're showing off."

Hi all,
Just joined Lighthouse Hockey, so this is my first post. I've been lurking for the past 24 hours as my membership became active, and the consensus seems to be that this move was the best possible alternative, but a lot of LI-based Islanders fans are going to have a tougher go of it following the team now that it will be in Brooklyn.
On the flip-side, of course, are the people like me who grew up with no connection to Long Island or the Islanders, but now have this team that will be arriving in our world, and I doubt I'm the only one who will be coming on board.
Growing up, I didn't follow the NHL. My father raised me from an early age to be a baseball (Mets) and football (Giants) fan, but no hockey. At school in Rockland County, NY, a big bandwagon appeared for the Rangers in 1994, and a smaller one for the Devils in 1995, but the Islanders might as well have been located on Mars. I didn't jump either bandwagon, and didn't care about hockey until...
...college. Cornell University is hockey-crazed, and I began going to games, and learning the game (basic stuff, like what offsides and icing are, and how line-changes can happen without a stop in the action). Cornell's team also became very good along the way, and came agonizingly close to a national championship the year after I graduated. That 2002-2003 Cornell squad also had a freshman 3rd-liner with a knack for scoring named Matt Moulson, incidentally.
But my Cornell fandom didn't translate into an NHL fandom, and 10 years later living in Brooklyn, I think I've found my team. They will play 6 blocks from my place. I literally walk past the main entrance of the Barclays center every morning going to work. The more I thought about them moving to the Barclays Center, the more excited I became. I like hockey, and there seemed to be an obvious choice for hockey fandom staring me in the face. No driving needed to get there. Heck, no trains needed either. Just a 10 minute WALK. How could I not take advantage of this opportunity, especially since I like watching hockey, and watched the Rangers, Flyers, and Devils in last season's playoffs even though I had no rooting interest in any of them (just friends who do)?
So where should I begin my fandom studies? Assuming the lockout ever ends, I'll borrow the girlfriend's car and drive out to the Coliseum to see a game or two, but any other recommendations for getting into the culture of being an Islanders fan?

Daily Dispatches From The Global Scene
Tamy Glauser is a leader in the new wave of gender-bending models. The 28-year-old Swiss tomboy had a breakout moment today on the Givenchy menswear runway in Paris, where her shaved head, fierce gaze, sharp cheekbones, and lanky frame fit right in with the rest of the guys in the cast (plus several other Riccardo Tisci favorites, including Saskia de Brauw, Jenny Shimizu, and Ashleigh Good). Glauser (left, note the "Garcons" sweater) debuted at the Spring shows, walking in Vivienne Westwood and Jean Paul Gaultier, where they spray-painted her hair red to channel Annie Lennox. "When I went to the [Jean Paul Gaultier] casting, it was two o'clock in the morning. I didn't have heels, and I didn't know what the designer looked like, because I didn't really have anything to do with fashion before. After walking for him, he said he liked my look and told me I got the job," she told Style.com. Since then, it's been a whirlwind of change for Glauser, who recently relocated from Zurich to Paris, and just shot a menswear editorial (out this February) alongside fellow androgynous star of the moment, Casey Legler, who is the first female model on Ford's men's board.
Before beginning her modeling career, Glauser was paying her bills by working in bars and restaurants, with the occasional acting gig on the side. Earlier this year, she starred in an award-winning music video for popular European dubstep musician Joachim Garraud. Back in 2000, Glauser was an Olympics-bound swimmer on the Swiss National Team (her events were the 400- and 800-meter freestyle), but she decided not to pursue becoming a professional athlete, adding, "Swimmers have the weirdest bodies anyways, and I already don't like my broad shoulders." Glauser takes each new chapter of her life in stride, and is fully embracing modeling for the moment. "I like being in front of the camera. It gives me the chance to put my shyness away and be someone else," she explained. "I don't have an exact future in mind. In this industry, one day it's one way and the next day it's another. I feel like if you expect anything, you might get disappointed, so I try not to have any expectations and just appreciate the present." Chances are, we'll be seeing more of Glauser at the Fall shows in February.

Anyone who thinks Tim Tebow will be a great NFL QB is an idiot.
Imagine Dungy somehow back as head coach with Gruden as OC...
Quote from: MightyLeeMoon on January 04, 2007, 08:20:31 PMImagine Dungy somehow back as head coach with Gruden as OC...They could not co-exist. Completely impossible.
Imagine Vince Lombardi as HC and Don Shula as OC and Dan Marino as QB and **CENSORED** Butkus as MLB. As long as we are imagining impossible things. Imagine all the people living life in peace. So your theory is that Gruden is going to accept an OC job with the Bucs? Yeah OK. Name one time a head coach has accepted a demotion from HC to assistant with the same team. Cat got your tongue? Earl got your tongue?
I think he meant Dungy as the DC here in Tampa and Gruden as the HC/OC

text: The Timberwolves scoring struggles continued on a snowy evening at West Bend West High School on Tuesday in a low scoring loss, 45-29. Tuesday was the first time in 6 years that the Living Word boy's basketball team had an opponent in the division 1 level. The Wolves chose a bad time to continue their shooting struggles shooting an abysmal 14 of 61 from the field. Despite the poor offense, the T-Wolves cut the deficit to 6 early in the 3rd quarter. However, they never got the spark needed to get over the hump as no T-Wolf scored in the double digits. One bright light in the contest was Andrew Komurka, who grabbed a career-high 15 rebounds. The Timberwolves open up conference play on Thursday, against Wayland Academy.

HoopsHype Dionte Christmas rumors
The Phoenix Suns have waived guard Dionte Christmas, the team announced today. In his rookie NBA season of 2013-14, Christmas averaged 2.3 points, 1.2 rebounds and 6.4 minutes in 31 games with the Suns. Christmas also played with the Suns' entry at NBA Summer League 2014 in Las Vegas earlier this month, averaging 10.6 points and 5.6 rebounds in five games. NBA.com
Paul Coro: The #Suns waived Dionte Christmas. His $1.15M salary for 2014-15 would've become guaranteed next week. The rookie made 31 brief appearances. Twitter @paulcoro
Paul Coro: Summer #Suns: Seth Curry, Elias Harris, Taylor Braun, David Stockton, Alex Oriakhi, Plumlee, Goodwin, Len, Christmas, Warren, Ennis & Brown. Twitter @paulcoro
The 6-5 shooting guard has been chasing his NBA dream since going undrafted out of Temple University in 2009. He played internationally for multiple years, most recently in Italy, but has kept his eyes on his main goal the entire time. "To have an opportunity like this to fulfill my dream and play in the NBA, it's always been kind of like a no-brainer for me," Christmas told CSNNE.com in a telephone interview Friday evening after signing the multi-year contract. "I worked hard all my life to get to the NBA, so when a team like this comes where I actually have the opportunity to play, that's always the top priority for me. I have been overseas for some time now, but I'm trying to make the NBA my home and hopefully Phoenix can be my home for the next couple of years. I can't wait until everything starts." CSNNE.com
Waiting would pay off, he believed. "Phoenix told me to be patient," he said. "When the whole Mike Beasley thing happened (the Suns waived Beasley on September 3), they kept in contact with my agent every day and they told me to come out. It was a blessing. I was being patient, I wasn't rushing anything. I had a lot of overseas deals, a lot of camp offers, but Phoenix was at the top of my list. I was just really waiting for them." CSNNE.com
With seven guards already under contract, the Suns signed shooting guard Dionte Christmas on Friday after he showed his pure scoring ability on their NBA Summer League entry in July. Arizona Republic
Christmas signed a multi-year contract with a small guarantee on the first season, a deal that is similar in structure to what he had with Boston last year. Suns general manager Ryan McDonough was with Boston last year, when Christmas was waived during the preseason. "He was a key contributor for our Las Vegas Summer League team and his scoring ability, leadership and toughness will help us this season," McDonough said in a prepared statement. Arizona Republic
Amid a strong finish over the final week of NBA summer league, Dionte Christmas has received interest from teams, including from the organization he played for, the Phoenix Suns. "I'm getting positive feedback from a lot of teams," Christmas told RealGM. "Perhaps I get a call saying they want to see me in training camp or hopefully sign me for the season." RealGM
Jody Genessy: Asked which non-roster guys have stood out for Jazz, Coach Lowe pointed out Dionte Christmas, Chris Roberts, James Mays and Tony Gaffney. Twitter @DJJazzyJody
Montepaschi Siena made official the signing of Dionte Chrismtas. The American guard was free agent after his short stint in Russia with CSKA Moscow. Christmas started the season in NBA with Boston Celtics who cut him during the training camp. Sportando
Dionte Christmas: "@drbad_: @Dchristmas22 Dionte, you join to Siena?"<
Mens Sana Siena agreed to terms with Dionte Christmas, according to Il Corriere dello Sport. The American guard started the season with the Boston Celtics who cut him during the training camp. Then Christmas joined CSKA Moscow with whom he has played a couple of months. Sportando
Olympiacos is interested in Dionte Chrismtas, as reported by Sport24.gr. The American guard was just released by the Celtics during the NBA training camp. Sportando
Jared Sullinger is "Sully." Dionte Christmas is "Temple," because that's where he went to college. And Kevin Garnett calls Fab Melo is "Melo" because "I don't like really calling a man 'Fab.'" The Boston Celtics rookies are getting nicknames, compliments of the man himself known as "KG" and "The Big Ticket." Garnett went out of his way on Friday to make it clear that he's doing it to be affectionate and not because, like many veterans throughout basketball and other sports, he can't be troubled to learn their real names. USA Today
"My personal connection is a nickname. I'm not disrespecting people by not knowing their names," Garnett said. "Some people don't even talk to rookies." USA Today
Dan Duggan: From being around the Celts the last few days, Dionte Christmas carries himself like he's part of the team. Twitter @DDuggan21
The text message alert woke him at around 8 p.m. on Tuesday night. Dionte Christmas had been taking a nap, part of his routine to get more rest in preparation for his first NBA season. He reached for his phone and read the question on the screen. "Me and Jason are going to the gym. You want to come?" The message came from a mutual friend of Christmas and Jason Terry. The rookie bolted out of bed, grabbed his gym gear, and headed from his hotel to the Boston Celtics practice facility in Waltham for an impromptu workout session with his new teammate. "I definitely wasn't going to miss an opportunity to do that," Christmas told CSNNE.com in a telephone interview. "So I got right up. He said, 'We'll be in the gym in five minutes.' I was there in three minutes." CSNNE.com
In August, the two officially met as teammates when they spent the week at Reebok's Canton, Mass., headquarters with fellow athletes John Wall, Jameer Nelson, Ramon Sessions, and Maalik Wayns. They worked out together, ate group dinners, and relaxed by going bowling. During this time, Christmas and Terry also began developing a relationship that quickly evolved as the summer continued. "Once we got to Boston, Jason told me he was going to look after me," Christmas said. "[He told me] we were going to get in the gym together a lot, he wanted to see me be the best player I could be for Boston and be the best person I could be, period." CSNNE.com

Alright men, the first plan for this thread was to just reverse that last disaster and talk about which female mma fighters we would like to impregnate with our seed but what would be the difference between that and any other thread? Then I thought maybe we'd talk about beer but ShivanTiger's already got that area locked down. So I'm thinkin to myself, how do I get the MAN back in MANia today? Here's what we'll do... I'll put forth a couple different scenarios here and you'll assess the situation and decide how you in your most manly state would handle it. I'm not talking logical, well mannered, good decisions here, I'm talking HULK SMASH or Bourne Identity style. We'll rate the answers with Chucks, see below.
Here is the scoring system.
1 Chuck - You get an "A" for effort but are still a girly man.
2 Chucks - You are a real man, someone to be feared.
3 Chucks - You are all that is man. Women want you, men want to be you. Those who know you love you, those who do not know you, love you from afar.
Now, onto the scenarios...
After a long night of drinking you awaken to find your right arm pinned down and you are unable to move. Upon further investigation you discover that an exceptionally large woman is laying with her back to you. You attempt to wake her but are unable to as she has just gone into hibernation for the winter. You look around and discover that you are both laying on a large pile of hay, there is a pen within reach and her back is large enough to draw blueprints and plans on. There is a small night stand just out of reach with a dirty tennis ball on it and you can also reach a ball of yarn. There are numerous rats scampering about and you are constantly fending them off with your feet and free hand. You can also reach a 3 ft piece of 2x4. You can scavenge bits of cheese and other food items from between her rolls but without water, you won't survive more than 2-3 days at best. What do you do?
You and a friend stop in at a "hole in the wall" bar for a couple of drinks on your way to kill deer and bear with your bare hands. Apparently the folks round these parts don't take kindly to you and your friend. You and your friend don't take kindly to folks not taken to kindly to folks round parts. The bartender plainly states that he wants no trouble in his bar and that he is calling the police. You attempt to drill his brain to stop him but he's protected by a lvl 52 lightning shield that deals back 42,000 AOE dmg on attack. Taking out the bartender so that he cannot alert the authorities is not an option and letting these people off the hook would go against all of your savage man instincts. The local sheriff will arrive on the scene in minutes. Within reach are several 12 oz bottles, 1 plastic pitcher, a 30 gallon trash can and a used condom. The tables are bolted to the floor, there are pool sticks nearby as well. The bartender will not interfere if a fight breaks out inside and will not stop you and your friend from taking the action outside. You have a 1972 Gran Torino out front with a 352 Cleveland under the hood, this is your only method of transportation aside from running/walking/crawling etc... What do you do?
On your way out of a movie theatre you and your girlfriend are acosted by two men dressed as Rabbi's and an argument ensues. Rabbi A punches your girlfriend square in the nose and assaults her, Rabbi B and you step aside and watch as the fight unfolds, laying down money on who you think will pull out the victory. After the fight is finished, you reprimand your woman and tell her how dissapointed you are that she didn't fight back. Especially after he kicked her while she was down. On your way to the parking lot you notice that aside from the physical injuries she is also very down trodden and emotionally down. You tell her to sac up and quit crying but on the other hand you've just won $200.00 from betting against her on Rabbi A during the brawl. This being the case you want to lift her spirits, but you don't want to go full on sensitive male in the process. What do you do?
Alright guys, take on one or all 3 if you dare and be creative. I'll start first.
Scenario A. I would accumulate as much cheese from between her rolls as possible and smother the exposed part of my pinned arm in what I had found. I would then wrap the yarn around the 2x4 and bite down on that area to deal with the pain as I let the rats gnaw through my arm. Afterward, I would stop the bleeding of my stump and cut myself a steak off of her back.
