World Championships Game Day: 5-22-10Submitted by pete on May 22, 2010 - 15:32
Sweden 2 @ Czech Republic 3 (SO)
Johan Harju, Sweden, 1-0-1, -1, 0 PIM, 8 SOG
Tournament totals: 8 GP, 4-1-5, E, 4 PIM
Victor Hedman, 0-0-0, -1, 0 PIM, 0 SOG
Tournament totals: 8 GP, 1-1-2, +4, 4 PIM
Karel Rachunek scored a goal with 8 second left in regulation to force overtime and Jan Marek scored the winning goal in the shootout to propel the Czech Republic to the World Championships finals over Sweden. Lightning prospect forward Johan Harju had Sweden's opening goal, a power play marker, and led Sweden with 8 shots on goal in 20:02 of ice time, the second highest ice time total of any Swedish forward. Unfortunately, Harju was on the ice for Rachunek's tying goal, which is the lone blemish in an otherwise outstanding game for the big power forward. Harju's goal was his 4th of the World Championships, which actually ties his goal scoring total of the entire regular season for Dynamo Moscow in the KHL. For Harju, who before this tournament was last seen leaving the ice injured in the second-to-last game of a disappointing first round playoff exit for Dynamo, this World Championships has reasserted the big forward's pedigree as a poor-man's Johan Franzen. Lightning defenseman Victor Hedman played 20:25 in the match and was on the ice for a Czech goal by Tomas Mojzis. Sweden will play home country Germany in the bronze medal game tomorrow.
Russia 2 @ Germany 1
Vasily Koshechkin, Russia, Win, 26/27, 1.00 GAA, .963 sv%
Tournament totals: 3 GP, 3-0-0, 0 SO, 1.00 GAA, .967 sv%
Russian coach Slava Bykov went with Lightning prospect goaltender Vasily Koshechkin in their semifinal match against home country Germany, and the 6'6" netminder did not disappoint as he remained unbeaten and untied in the tournament making 26 saves on 27 shots faced for the win. Red Wings star Pavel Datsyuk scored the winning goal for the Russians with just 1:50 left in regulation to punch their ticket for the gold medal game against the Czech Republic. It will be interesting to see if the Lightning make any moves to sign Koshechkin at the end of the tournament, which will come to a close tomorrow. Ex-GM Brian Lawton reportedly had serious interest in bringing in the 2002 8th round pick next season.

Durham police have arrested and will charge a suspect in the death of 22-year-old Shabir Niazi.
Police said the 22-year-old suspect was arrested at a home in Ajax earlier Saturday. He will face a second degree murder charge and police are expected to release his name after his Sunday morning court appearance.
Niazi was found dead from a gunshot wound in a garage near Roosevelt Ave. and Kings Cres. a week ago. It was originally deemed a "sudden death," but was later changed to a homicide.
Three males were seen running from the area shortly after police were called for sounds of gunshots.
Niazi is Durham region's first homicide of 2014.

PETALING JAYA: Malaysians joining the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) terror network have been psyched into believing that they will die as martyrs.
At least 20 of them are believed to be already in Syria to join the Sunni jihadist force that has shocked the world with violent attacks targeting mainly the Shi'ite Muslims. However, the actual number could be much bigger.
"Some of them appear to have joined the terror network with the blessings of their families, as they have a misconceived notion that they would die as martyrs," said Special Branch's Counter Terrorism Division principal assistant director Senior Asst Comm Datuk Ayob Khan.
Police have succeeded in stopping at least 16 more Malaysians from embarking on suspected terror activities abroad.
They have so far charged four suspects and are continuing investigations into another four. Eight others have been released because of insufficient evidence.
Malaysia currently has no preventive detention laws in place to stop the likes of 26-year-old Ahmad Tarmimi Maliki, who made headlines for carrying out a suicide mission that killed 25 elite soldiers at the Iraqi SWAT headquarters in Al-Anbar on May 26.
The jihadist forces are also using social media such as Twitter to spread images of massacred Iraqi soldiers to perpetuate a culture of fear.
SAC Ayob said Malaysians believed to be associated with ISIL were from various backgrounds and professions.
"Some of them who are already in Iraq left with their families' blessings, as they have this misconceived notion that they will die as martyr in the war against Shi'ites who they believe are no longer regarded as Muslims," he said, adding that they were aged between 22 and 56.
A small number of the suspects is believed to have undergone militant training in Negri Sembilan and Perak.

Jagex is perhaps best known for its popular browser MMO RuneScape, which is still going strong after over 10 years of development. Just over a year ago, the company made a move into the MMORTS market with its free-to-play browser game War of Legends. Last month, the game celebrated its first anniversary by giving players a free birthday cake filled with items to speed up construction, resource gathering and other parts of the game. With that celebration barely over, War of Legends has launched head-first into yet another event with the Chinese New Year.
As War of Legends is based heavily on ancient Chinese mythology, the Chinese New Year is a big time of year for the game. In keeping with a traditional Chinese theme, Jagex will be giving away red envelopes containing prizes to players every day for the next two weeks. Each envelope contains in-game items valued by the company at up to $20 US, and players have the opportunity to find more prizes by invading the Wildlands during the two-week celebration period. For those players who want something simpler, Jagex will also be running some limited-time daily tasks during the Chinese New Year with a variety of helpful rewards.

New edition of The Complete Plain Words will delight fans of no-frills prose - but can breaking the rules be the making of good writing?
The Complete Plain Words was first published sixty-five years ago and its impact on British society was immeasurable
John Walsh
Prolific writer and commentator John Walsh contributes columns to the paper as well as writing features, interviews and restaurant reviews. He has been editor of The Independent Magazine, literary editor of the Sunday Times and features editor of the London Evening Standard.
Thursday 27 March 2014
Sixty-five years ago, Her Majesty's Stationery Office published its biggest-ever bestseller. It was nothing to do with income tax, local government or pet licences. It was The Complete Plain Words and, though its aims were modest, its impact on British society was immeasurable.
The author was a top civil servant called Sir Ernest Gowers, a former Private Secretary to Lloyd George who, in 1953, chaired the Royal Commission on Capital Punishment, which led to the abolition of the death penalty. During the Second World War, he was Senior Regional Commander for London – effectively in charge of the civil defence of the city during the Blitz and after.
One evening in 1943, to bolster the morale of exhausted civil defenders, Gowers was asked to give a cheery talk on some bureaucratic topic (you can imagine the excitement in the hall). He discussed the government circulars that his audience received every week: he poked fun at their grandiloquence and impenetrability, and called for a new, more user-friendly (though he probably didn't use that phrase) style of official communication.
Word filtered through to the Treasury about this radical initiative, and it asked Gowers to write a "training manual" for civil servants about using plain English. It was a hit. In 1948 Plain Words came out and sold 150,000 copies in eight months. The Complete Plain Words followed in 1954 and has never been out of print. To celebrate its 60th birthday, the author's great-granddaughter, Rebecca Gowers, has revised and updated the book for a new generation.
The revolution that lurked in its mild pages was not just a lexical but a social one. It was a radical reform of the language used by bureaucrats when communicating with the public. Official writing, says Gowers, "in the past… consisted mostly of departmental minutes and instructions, inter-departmental correspondence, and despatches to governors and ambassadors." Now, after the war, it was aimed at ordinary, mostly puzzled, British people, explaining their statutory rights and obligations and how they might be breaking the law. Gowers told his staff, in other words, how to talk to the post-war British population without sounding superior, baffling or plain rude. "Your style must not only be simple, but also friendly, sympathetic and natural," he said, "appropriate to one who is a servant not a master."
This was revolutionary talk in 1948. In the corridors of Whitehall, ministers questioned the impropriety of telling young civil servants it was OK to be "plain" in addressing superiors. But we can only cheer his advice to bureaucrats to stop sounding Victorian: to stop writing, "Your letter is acknowledged and the following would appear to be the position…" or "With reference to your claim, I have to advise you that, before the same is dealt with..." those chilly, robotic, passive constructions that drove a wedge between the man in the street and the chap in the ministry.
Rebecca Gowers, who has revised and updated 'Plain Words' for a new generation
A tone Gowers is keen to eliminate can be heard in this letter to someone who lost their train ticket: "In the circumstances you have now explained, and the favourable enquiries made by me, I agree as a special case and without prejudice not to press for payment of the demand sent you, and you may consider the matter closed. I would however suggest in the future you should take greater care of your railway ticket to obviate any similar occurrence."
It's a tone of finger-wagging, fusspot, faux-officer-class authority ("You may consider the matter closed…") that Philip Larkin called "soppy-stern", that was embodied by Captain Mainwaring in Dad's Army, and that we now associate with the Harry Enfield character Mr Cholmondley-Warner. It was no small achievement that, after reading Gowers's book, people started writing "Thank you for your letter," rather than "Your communication of the 12th Inst. is acknowledged…"
Gowers's second ambition in the book was to rid English writing of "barnacular" style – a term deriving from the Tite Barnacle family, who run the Circumlocution Office in Dickens's Little Dorrit. It means writing that's stuffed with jargon words, worn-out phrases, tired clichés, the mistiness and imprecision of bureaucratic paragraphs that coil around the subject until it can no longer be glimpsed. Of course, writers have been complaining about vulgar new words for centuries – Jonathan Swift had a peculiar loathing for "mob," Doctor Johnson hated "fun" – and Gowers' strictures were part of a long tradition. This part of the book reminds us that, in trying to eliminate cliché and dullness, the mid-century writers set precedents – and several rules – that have survived, rather boringly, until today.
Gowers quotes earlier linguists as part of his clean-up campaign. In The King's English (1906), the Fowler brothers advised: "Anyone who wishes to become a good writer should endeavour, before he allows himself to be tempted by the more showy qualities, to be direct, simple, brief, vigorous and lucid." They recommended general rules:
"Prefer the familiar word to the far fetched. Prefer the concrete word to the abstract. Prefer the single word to the circumlocution. Prefer the short word to the long. Prefer the Saxon word to the Romance."
This always strikes me as perfectly sound advice to anyone trying to describe a wheelbarrow to a small child, or writing instructions for assembling a cupboard. It is, however, woefully constricting to anyone hoping to write with any trace of personality. Is the Saxon phrase "give up the throne" preferable to the music of "relinquish the throne"? Isn't the abstract (and Romance) word "sentiment" more expressive of emotion than the concrete (and Anglo-Saxon) word "feeling"?
Ernest Gowers at a political meeting in 1943
Gowers clearly had doubts about the Fowlers' advice. He adapted it like this:
1. "Use no more words than are necessary to express your meaning, for if you use more you are likely to obscure it and tire your reader.
2. Use familiar words than the far fetched, if they express your meaning equally well; for the familiar are more likely to be readily understood.
3. Use words with a precise meaning, rather than those that are vague, for the precise will obviously serve better to make your meaning clear."
This seems like better counsel, but it gives rise to several questions. How do you work out how many words are "necessary" to express meaning? If Mike Tragic writes to beg Jill Flibbertigibbet for another chance at l'amour, his word-usage may stray well beyond what someone else might deem "necessary". As for "Use words with a precise meaning", shouldn't a linguist know that few words have monolithically "precise" meanings – in dictionaries they generally have two or more approximate definitions.
When Gowers launched Plain Words in 1948, he must have been aware of the looming shadow of George Orwell. Two years earlier, the author of Nineteen Eighty-Four had issued his own furious philippic against sloppy writing in his famous essay, Politics and the English Language. "[A] mixture of vagueness and sheer incompetence is the most marked characteristic of modern English prose, he wrote, "prose consists less and less of words chosen for the sake of their meaning, and more of phrases tacked together like the sections of a prefabricated hen-house." By the end of the essay, he was ready with six rules for good, or at least less-bad, writing:
1. Never use a metaphor, simile or other figure of speech which you are used to seeing in print.
2. Never use a long word where a short one will do.
3. If it possible to cut a word out, always cut it out.
4. Never use the passive where you can use the active.
5. Never use a foreign phrase, a scientific word or a jargon word if you can think of an everyday English equivalent.
6. Break any of these rules sooner than say anything outright barbarous.
Pioneering author Anthony Burgess in 1968
You have to admire Orwell's self-detonating sign-off "(Break any of these rules…") but it's hard to admire the preceding commandments. "Never use a long word…"? So I mustn't say, "Lionel Messi's Terpsichorean grace", I can only say "Lionel Messi looked like a dancer"? How dull. "Never use a foreign phrase…"? Can I never again say "dans cette galere", or "avant la lettre" or "balcon formidable"? Must I say, "in this gang" and "before the word existed" and "big bust"? How boring, by comparison. Oh, and someone's found that 20 per cent of his sentences in the essay are passive.
In Nineteen Eighty-Four, Orwell used the idea of the "ready-made phrase" to invent the limited, emotionless, modular vocabulary of Newspeak (where "double-plus-un-good" means "really bad). His six rules of language have been taught for decades, as though warning young writers against using prose that showed off, tried new words and dance moves, acquired a foreign accent, pulled syntactical strokes, repeated itself, shouted, whispered, swore.
Well, when we've finished celebrating Ernest Gowers's socio-lexical achievement, and the curious convulsion that gripped him and Orwell, along with hundreds of thousands of British readers and would-be writers, in the 1940s and 1950s, we may feel that their keep-it-simple-keep-it-transparent strictures about prose have gone on long enough. I felt this some time ago.
When I left university in 1975, writers such as Anthony Burgess were showing off all over the place. He loved what Hemingway called "those 10-dollar words", and threw them around profligately: "orchidaceous", "borborygmic", "steatopygous". He once wrote a sentence featuring the word "onions" three times consecutively, while still making syntactic sense.
Angela Carter was writing thrillingly dense, darkly sexy novels about infernal desire machines, in which the prose showed not the slightest desire to be transparent. Soon after, Martin Amis joined the party and we all strove to emulate his cocky, elegant-sleazoid cadences. It was an exciting time.
I remember being shown the Gowers book and the Orwell essay, and wondering how anyone with ambition could still take them as some kind of Bible. I wish there had been a different set of precepts around, to which a tyro scribbler in search of a fancy prose style could have usefully turned. Maybe somebody should write them today.

Take risks, include sex: An alternative guide
1. Don't be content with the ordinary. Remember what Updike said about Nabokov: "He writes prose the only way it should be written – that is, ecstatically."
2. In Lolita, Nabokov described the Rockies as "Heart and sky-piercing snow-veined colossi of stone." Could you write something similar about Clapham Junction underpass? (Of course you could.)
3. Don't be afraid of using repetition to paint a picture. Look at the litany of falling snow at the end of Joyce's 'The Dead', an effect later pinched by everyone from Alan Paton to Bret Easton Ellis.
4. If you discover a picturesque Victorian phrase languishing unused – tatterdemalion, slubberdegullion, Dundreary – store it in your mental cabinet of curiosities and bring it out later. It hasn't done Will Self any harm.
5. If you're afraid that an extended, unparagraphed tirade of reflection is becoming wearisome, re-write it to incorporate the preparing of a fancy meal. You'll be saved by parsnips and rocket.
6. Pay no regard to the Bad Sex Award. Go ahead and describe sex as much and as precisely and flamboyantly as you like, remembering to steer clear of metaphors involving beaches or the North Pole.

Lovely top with sweet collar. I checked out your other vintage tops on your blog and they are all gorgeous. I have some really interesting tops (patterns) from the 60's. I need to dust them off and make a few I think.

The secondary needs help
Unexpectedly, the Colts decided to go offense during the draft leaving a huge need unaddressed: the secondary. Currently the team is thin at both corner and safety with little experience and even less depth. Paul Kuharsky took note of this problem: Jerraud Powers is a quality corner and a good leader. But after him, there are no proven corners on the roster. Is the second starter Chris�...

The Diary of Ratnavali Devi Das
«« Back To Stats Page
I would like to say that this kind of articles should not appear on a serious Vaishnava site for it sends out the wrong signals.
The fact is, the shastras frown upon such sensationalized crystal-ball rebirth ideologies. Although it is true we are reborn, the chances of a person finding out who he or she was in a previous life is 1 in a trillion.
The above story is full of holes.
Dandavat does itself a disservice by subscribing to such nonsense. And if it wants to then it should also post comments like this one.
Vaishnavas do not die; they are not so cheaply reborn either. Shame on you dandavat.

Chen Wei & Chen Xi Imprisoned
Chinese writers Chen Wei and Chen Xi were both given long prison sentences over the holidays. The PEN American Center denounced the action, calling it "an eerie replay of the 2009 trial of Liu Xiaobo."
Both writers published digital essays criticizing China's political system and government activities. Wei was charged with inciting subversion and sentenced to eleven-years' imprisonment. Xi was charged with the same "crime" and sentenced to ten-years' imprisonment.
PEN president Kwame Anthony Appiah gave this statement in the release: "Once more the Chinese regime has chosen to darken the holiday season with a reminder of its fear of independent thought. We salute the extraordinary courage of those Chinese, like Chen Wei, Chen Xi, and Liu Xiaobo, who love their country enough to risk long-term incarceration for speaking out against a government that betrays the hopes of the Chinese people every day."

Firefighters live their lives on call, hoping they're never needed. But just after 5 a.m. Tuesday, they got the call they probably hoped they'd never receive.
A fire at the former Fruit of the Loom plant destroyed a warehouse there. And, boy, was it a doozy. The fire was so huge, it took all our local firefighters plus those from surrounding counties hours to contain it.
There's probably nothing being discussed more in our community this week than the fire.
That's because nearly every family in town had a connection, whether through their own employment or that of a family member.
Built in the early 1950s, the former underwear factory was THE major employer in Taylor County. And when the factory closed its doors in 1998, more than 4,000 people lost their jobs.
Now, we can't help but wonder what's next for the property.
We've remarked here in the past that it would be a boon to the community for someone to buy the property and fix it up to make the main intersection in our community more inviting.
Will that happen? We don't know, but we sure hope the fire damage isn't just left as it is, which would only add to the dismal look of the property.

To launch the campaign, Kimberly went undercover at a grocery store to hand out $100 gift cards to unsuspecting customers. Highlights from Kimberly's giveaway are now featured in a new YouTube video.

Funny how Joan and other leftys "celebrate" small businesses as they simultaneously eviscerate them with their economic and tax policies.

Local Bands Getting TV, Film Exposure

Five cute guys singing pop songs sounds like a recipe for boy-band disaster, and in most cases it is. But somehow, perhaps because they write their own songs and -- gasp -- play their own instruments, the boys of Maroon 5 have managed to evade the bottomless crevasse of pop vapidity.
The band, anchored by Adam Levine's iron-pumping vocals, began when its members were latte-drinking West Coast grunge fans, penning wistful Vedder-esque tunes under the stage name Kara's Flowers. Eight years and several retired flannels later, the band re-emerged with Plan B, a digestible attempt to fuse the spice of R&B with the flavor of rock.
The debut album, Songs About Jane, compiles twelve songs deriding a not-so-anonymous ex-girlfriend and conjures with every sticky hook both Stevie Wonder and the Backstreet Boys. That's a big leap for most hipsters, but as fellow popster John Mayer says, it's the perfect blend of melody and grit.
Since the single "Harder to Breathe" has been named officially buzzworthy by MTV and now vies with Beyoncé for mainstream radio ubiquity, Maroon 5 is in even greater danger of being officially blown off by serious music connoisseurs. So the vitality and energy of their live show will have the dual task of winning over skeptics and demonstrating the performance, rather than the production, of pop music.
