So far so good on the Sharks five game home stand. The 5-1 win over Tampa Bay was impressive and they managed to score just enough against Martin Brodeur and shut down Jaromir Jagr in the 2-1 win over the Devils. Now things get really, really interesting.
There's no way the NHL schedule maker could have known it at the time, but it's hard to imagine a more compelling three game set than the one the Sharks face at home starting Wednesday. The LA Kings, hot off their stunning come from behind win in Vancouver on Monday night, pay their first visit of the season to SAP Center. The last time the Kings were in the Bay Area they dropped Game 6 of the Western Conference Semifinals but would go on to knock the Sharks out in Game 7. LA also beat the Sharks 4-3 in overtime in their only meeting this season back in late October at Staples Center.
After a break for Thanksgiving, the Sharks host St. Louis in a rare 1 p.m. matinee game on Friday. The Blues are hot right now and after a four game drought, so is their leading goal scorer Alexander Steen. He bagged a pair of goals Monday in their win over Nashville giving him 19 on the season. Steen is very much in the hunt with Alexander Ovechkin for the Rocket Richard Trophy. The Sharks beat the Blues 6-2 in St. Louis last month on the night that Dan Boyle was injured on the hit by Maxim Lapierre. But don't be fooled. The Blues are the real deal and have managed to stay within a point of the first place Blackhawks in the Central Division.
And then to top off the holiday weekend the Sharks go back to back at home on Saturday night against the Pacific Division leading Anaheim Ducks. It's the first meeting of the year between the California rivals and will be an awesome way to end as compelling a week of hockey as we've had around here in quite some time. Enjoy the Thanksgiving holiday and enjoy the hockey at SAP Center!

During every game, Dan Rusanowsky and I go over SAP Analytics and break down some numbers. It's a fun segment and considering we live in Silicon Valley where one's and zero's dominate our lives. I want to analyze and explain some numbers that I find intriguing.
TOI = Time On Ice
BS = Blocked Shots
FO = Faceoffs
+/- = Plus Minus
EV PTS = Even Strength Points
- Let's start the with the fist battle of every shift, the faceoff.
- 57.8 % - That is Pavelski's FO % and it's 1st on Sharks and 8th in the NHL
- 41-19 - That is Pavelski's FO record on the Power Play. So Pavelski's FO % is 68.3 when the Sharks are on the PP. Winning a faceoff that pretty much every time is in the OZ is a good way to start a shift on the power play.
- Even strength points, whether 5-5 or 4-4 is a telling stat over the course of a season. The Sharks have two players who are in the top 20 in the NHL in this category.
- 17 - Number of EV PTS that Thornton has, tied for 12th in the NHL with Jonathan Toews. Corey Perry leads all skaters with 22 EV PTS.
- 16 - Number of EV PTS that rookie Tomas Hertl has, tied for 14th in the NHL with Matt Duchene, John Tavares, Henrik Sedin, Pavel Datsyuk and David Backes. Hertl is keeping some pretty good company in the EV PTS department!
- Blocking a slapshot that is coming at you anywhere from 80 to 100 miles per hour is not fun. To be honest, if you block it perfectly it doesn't hurt, but that only happens some of the time. The other times it hurts, more often than no, a lot. Blocking a shot is paying the price for your team. Here are the top three shot blocking forwards for the San Jose Sharks and where they stand in relation to all forwards in the NHL.
- 25 - Couture - Tied 1st team - Tied 3rd NHL
- 25 - Pavelski - Tied 1st team - Tied 3rd NHL
- 24 - Wingels - 3rd team - Tied 7th NHL
- Playing against the other team's top players night in and night out and leading your team in +/- speaks volumes. Here are the Sharks +/- leaders who often get the assignment of playing against the other teams top line.
- +16 - Braun - 1st team - 2nd NHL (Braun is +7 at home and +9 on the road)
- +10 - Couture - 2nd team - Tied 18th NHL
- Because of the Olympic Break in February this 82 game season is a compressed schedule making ice time distribution extremely important over the long haul. The fact the Sharks are 15-3-5, have had to deal with injuries to key players and yet they distribute ice time so well speaks volumes about the depth of the team.
TOI Defense
- 21:55 - Braun - 1st Team - 55th NHL
- 20:57 - Boyle - 2nd Team - 90th NHL
- 20:41 - Vlasic - 3rd Team - 102nd NHL
TOI Forwards
- 20:21 - Marleau - 4th Team - 1st Team Forwards - 113th NHL - 23rd NHL Forwards
- 19:30 - Couture - 5th Team - 2nd Team Forwards - Tied 151st NHL - 43rd NHL Forwards
- 19:13 - Pavelski - 7th Team - 3rd Team Forwards - Tied 171st NHL - 55th NHL Forwards
Stats can never tell the whole picture but they are very interesting when studying players and teams.

While the score was a tight 2-1 favoring the home team, setting things up for a monumentally challenging week against Los Angeles, St. Louis, and Anaheim, I'd like to offer a tip of the hat to a couple of future Hall of Famers who showed their stuff at SAP Center this past Saturday:
We've taken players like Martin Brodeur and Jaromir Jagr for granted, because they've been so good for so long and it's almost considered as constant as the sun rising each morning that we'll see them on a National Hockey League team, plying their trade with top-level excellence. On Saturday, fans were entertained with another solid performance from these two players, who have 2,647 games of experience between them. They continue to defy the march of time, so let us count the ways:
- Jagr had a quieter night with 0 shots on goal, but he had two opportunities toward the net, one of which was blocked and the other which missed the net. He played 19:54, and certainly was noticeable every time he was on the ice. By my memory, he wasn't on the ice for any significant period against Tomas Hertl, and that was the only thing that was mildly disappointing about the evening.
- Earlier in the week, Jagr had just scored his 690th career goal in Los Angeles. That tied his former linemate and mentor Mario Lemieux for 9th all-time. The goal was his 121st game-winner, which tied Gordie Howe for 1st all-time. So, kudos to the Sharks defense for working well against JJ in this game.
- Jagr has 2 Stanley Cup championships, 5 Art Ross Trophies, and 1 Hart Trophy to his credit. He's tied for 8th all-time with 1706 points.
- The game featured three of top four active Czech-born scorers: Jagr, Patrick Elias, and Martin Havlat. Elias was blaming himself when a bobbled play gave Havlat a chance to assist on Tyler Kennedy's game-winning goal, but the second most prolific Czech scorer of all-time picked up his 941st career point when he scored on the power play in the third period. That made a game of it.
- Brodeur absolutely robbed Logan Couture with a tremendous second-period glove save that makes us all think that he still has several years to go in his Hall of Fame career.
- Brodeur has more games played (1233) and more wins (676) and shutouts (123) than anyone. He's one of only 6 goalies to play more than 900 games (Patrick Roy, Terry Sawchuk, Ed Belfour,Curtis Joseph, and Glenn Hall). He has 4 Vezina Trophies, 3 Stanley Cups, 3 goals, 42 assists, and at 41 years of age, most recently had consecutive shutouts at Philadelphia and at home against Nashville.
- Incredibly, Brodeur has played in more Stanley Cup playoff games (205) than the Sharks (174) have. That includes 24 games in 2012, when the Devils made it to the Final and lost to the Kings. San Jose hopes to catch up over the next two postseasons, but Brodeur will do his best to stay ahead.
- It was heartwarming to hear the crowd really applaud Brodeur when he was named one of the stars of the evening. As always, Sharks fans show their class.
Meanwhile, the "showcase" segment of the season is now over and the Sharks are moving into "the grind," which is the way that we describe Games 20-50. The grind begins this week, with an incredible set of challenging games within a very short span of time: Los Angeles on Wednesday, St. Louis on Friday afternoon, and Anaheim on Saturday night. Three games in four days. Oh, yes, there is a lot for a hockey fan to be thankful for. I'm Dan Rusanowsky, for sjsharks.com.
"The one major event that the NHL can fully brag their success is the 'NHL Winter Classic'." Claiming New Year's as their own, the NHL's outdoor spectacular is popular fans and non-fans alike.
It takes the game back to its roots, taking it outside into the snow and ice. Anyone who grew up in America's Midwest and North can tell you the emotions of the winter season. It's a harsh environment to play in but it can be so fun. Playing outside in the winter was fun for many reasons…snowball fights, snowmen, sled rides, and making snow angels. Right up there is skating on a frozen pond. Some of my fondest memories were getting new skates and sticks on Christmas morning then getting the neighborhood kids to play a big outdoor game on Christmas afternoon. We'd play for hours with snow banks in place of boards and homemade nets the target for goals.
The Winter Classic is a one of a kind event. Or should I say, was a one of a kind. This winter will find 5 NHL games scheduled outdoors. On New Year's day in Ann Arbor, Michigan, upwards of 110,000 fans will jam into "The Big House." Michigan Stadium is the venue where the University of Michigan Wolverines play NCAA football. Original 6 clubs, the Detroit Red Wings and the Toronto Maple Leafs will add another chapter to their long-time rivalry that day. It will set an all-time hockey attendance record.
There will be a second rink at the Detroit Tigers' Comerica Park in Motown. This will be the site for a Red Wings, Maple Leafs Alumni game, as well as hosting college hockey, junior, and minor league games during the NHL's hockey festival. It should be a lot of fun everyone, whether attending in person or watching from home.
Four other NHL games are scheduled. The Kings and Ducks will meet at Dodger Stadium on January 25th. This will be a big test building a rink with good ice in a warm weather climate. If it is a success you may see outdoor games in Texas, Arizona, Florida, and Northern California in the coming seasons.
Yankee Stadium will be the site for two games in the Big Apple. The Rangers and Devils square off on January 26th. Three days later, the Rangers will square off against their rival NY Islanders. I'm sure the setting will be stunning. It's hockey in the House that Ruth Built.
On March 1st, Chicago gets into the act. The Blackhawks will host the Penguins at historic Soldier Field. The very next day BC Place will stage the Ottawa Senators/Vancouver Canucks game.
Is this too much too soon? Perhaps. Is the NHL watering down a signature event? Maybe. But equally important is that more fans at more outdoor events with more viewers is good for hockey and good for the NHL. Stretching these events into more venues could be tempting the gods of weather. What if the ice is unplayable in Southern California? What if the winds are too strong in Chicago? What if it rains in Vancouver? All are valid questions and if so, the NHL outdoor brand could be damaged. Let's hope the weather cooperates and that fans and non-fans have the appetite for more than just the New Year's game. I, for one, am looking forward to these events.
A few thoughts this morning.
Tonight (Thursday) Jamie Baker will take my place on the broadcast. I am taking a game off to be at home in Saskatchewan with my family. My Boys are turning 17 and thanks to the Sharks and Comcast I'm able to celebrate with them.
Anyway...Bakes will do a bang up job.
Speaking of my Boys, they are referees! Yes my sons are refs, officials, zebras, stripes!
This is their first year officiating. So far so good. They tell me that the players are great, the parents haven't said much but some of the coaches are a bit too vocal for minor hockey. I'm trying not too look too guilty in that regard because I've got a bit of history with a few (very few) refs when I was coaching.
I was reading a sports column today and some puck pundit was handing out the NHL Individual Awards at the quarter point of the season. A ridiculous premiss I know. Sticking with the ridiculous, the three defenseman he suggested for the Norris Trophy were all cited for their offensive output. Truthfully only one of them could check his coat!
Isn't it time that the league added a new award. First change the Norris Trophy to the Bobby Orr Trophy for the Defenceman with the most points.
Then award the Norris Trophy to the best Defenceman. The guy who actually plays D-Fence.
Speaking of Defenceman how great is it to witness two of the best defenders in the league playing for the Sharks.
Marc Edouard Vlasic and Justin Braun have taken their games to a new level of BlueLine Brilliance.
Do me a favour next game. Watch 44 & 61 next game. Notice how they use their sticks, skate and take away angles, communicate, work the net front and efficiently they move the puck out of the zone. I'm sure you will be impressed.
A woman approached me at a charity event Tuesday and asked "What's wrong with the Sharks?" I reminded her that they have one of the best records in the NHL and that while the loss in Chicago Sunday wasn't pretty; it's a long season.
But I do get what she means. When your team starts the season 6-0 for the second straight year you get used to it, and then you start to expect it to continue. When you put up a 9 spot against the Rangers, expectations get a little out of whack.
But the great thing about being an NHL fan is that every season is a roller coaster ride wrapped up in a soap opera. When you play an 82 game schedule in 30 cities from October through April a lot of stuff is going to happen. Times will go from great, to good, to not so great to ugly. If you can manage the not so great and ugly part and keep that to a minimum you've got a good chance to make the playoffs. And then a much more exciting roller coaster ride starts all over again.
Here's the bottom line for the Sharks a quarter of the way through the season. They are a point out of first place in the toughest division in the league and two points away from claiming first place overall to themselves. Joe Thornton leads the league in assists and is one of the best two-way centers in the game. The Sharks have 3 legitimate scoring lines on most nights. The blueline is anchored by Marc-Edouard Vlasic and Justin Braun who are having Olympic Team worthy seasons. The goaltending of Antti Niemi and Alex Stalock has been great to excellent. Special teams? Check. They are extremely well coached and most nights that is reflected in their detailed play. And they have the leading candidate for the Calder Trophy in Tomas Hertl.
Do the second periods need to get better? Yes. Can they do a better jog closing out games some nights? I think so. Would it be awesome if somebody other than Logan Couture scored a shootout goal every once in a while? Yep.
But looking at the big picture things aren't so bad. Was the loss in Chicago disappointing? Of course it was. Maybe the outcome would have been a little different if the Sharks didn't have to play the defending champions on the final night of a five-game in five time zones in eight days, west-to east-to west-to east, road trip. But that's one of the obstacles along the way that must be faced.
As a group the Sharks ought to be pleased with the first quarter of the season but not satisfied. They've established a foundation for success going forward but there's room for improvement.
No team wins them all and no team loses them all. It's a roller coaster ride to be enjoyed. Enjoy.
I'm Randy Hahn
We've seen a variety of interesting travel stories over the years of San Jose Sharks history, including some memorable plane flights, interminable flight delays, and inclement weather tales. Some of the best have included: waiting until a playoff game ended in triple overtime to find out which way to fly, only to be delayed overnight by fog; being the last plane allowed to land in an airport due to snow, making it to the hotel, only to have the game cancelled because of the weather; having a delay of over 12 hours because the proper equipment was not available to change a tire on the aircraft; and so on.
But on the recent "criss-cross road trip" that started in Winnipeg and ended in Chicago, Sharks Hockey had another memorable run that has to go down in the logbook. Now, my broadcast partner Jamie Baker already mapped out the 5-game trip with a diagram that had so many crossing dotted lines, it looked like Gerry Cheevers' old goalie mask. But here is a 10-step outline of one portion of that map, the trip between Edmonton and Chicago for the final stop on the trip:
- The game was originally scheduled at 7:00. After the game, the plan was to bus to the airport, clear customs in Edmonton, and fly to Chicago. That sounds simple, but….
- For Canadian TV purposes, the game was changed to an 8:00 Mountain Time faceoff, necessitating a later takeoff time from Edmonton International Airport.
- On Friday night, a snowstorm swooped into Alberta. Normally, the 35 kilometer trip from Rexall Place to the airport takes about 33 minutes. However, the storm slowed our path by about 15 minutes, in addition to the later hour due to the change of game time.
- While clearing customs in Edmonton is a good idea, a computer malfunction slowed the procedure for a number of minutes.
- Because of the snowstorm, once the team boarded the plane, another 15 minutes or so was added to the takeoff time. Why? The plane had to taxi to another part of the airport to be de-iced.
- Finally, takeoff occurred, approximately 2 hours and 40 minutes after the (later) game had ended.
- Flying from Edmonton to Chicago takes about the same time as flying home to San Jose. In addition, you have to add an hour because we were moving forward from the Mountain to the Central Time Zone.
- Once the plane landed, in this case at O'Hare International Airport, it was fortunate to note that there was lighter traffic due to the fact that it was a Saturday. However, the 18 mile trip takes about 27 minutes.
- It certainly was a weary group that checked into the hotel at approximately 6:20 a.m. Central Time on Saturday and some much-needed sleep.
- On Sunday, tornado warnings and major storms engulfed the Chicagoland area. At nearby Soldier Field, the NFL Bears game was actually delayed and the stadium evacuated when the storm raged in. Instead of being able to have the Formula One United States Grand Prix in the background of my hotel room, I had storm coverage instead. Fortunately, it all was over in a flash, and there were no other incidents other than the 5-1 loss in Chicago, followed by the late night flight home to San Jose.
All in all, the "criss-cross road trip" will be remembered for a 3-1-1 record, and a lot of travel stories. But the final 48 hours of the trip was one for the books. It's great to be home! For sjsharks.com, I'm Dan Rusanowsky.

Effortless projects seem to be kissed by fate, just like the newly released EP by local indie-electronica trio Number Sine. Formed after a chance meeting at Pita Jungle, and signed after sending out only one CD, they're gearing up for a national tour. Their self-titled EP is the quintessential summer soundtrack charming electronic pop that sounds like it was created by the love child of Zero 7 and the Plain White T's. Number Sine's first single, "Lights Out Landing," is screaming for inclusion on the next Zach Braff soundtrack. This is the kind of music made for summer road trips with the top down and a car full of friends. Earnest, happy production by Elaine Walker is deceptively simple, as evidenced by the band's live shows, where Elaine is strapped into a Lucite guitar-ish contraption for beats and bass lines, and plays a space-age, clear keyboard with quick kicks of high-heeled feet all without irony or novelty. Luke Hill rounds out the percussion section with a full drum kit, which is much appreciated, because it adds to the unforced, graceful sound. Number Sine is one of those projects that makes it all look easy.

Syracuse got absolutely robbed... they beat a lot of big time teams, too, including Georgetown.
I think Syracuse received a big time snub. How can a team like Duke, who finished 8-8 in conference play, get in and the Orangemen be left out? The Big East has 5 top 20 teams in it and the Orangemen still managed to be 10-6 in the league. Even Drexel shoul have been in before the Dukies.
Syracuse got absolutely robbed... they beat a lot of big time teams, too, including Georgetown.
Syracuse did not belong, I agree duke was seedd too high but they did belong to get in. The ACC was the bst conference this year, the BE was 4 or 5. As usual SU had a creampufff non-conf sched and they still lost 4 games, they beat 3 quality teams all year w/ 2 of them coming at home. They lost 3-4 awful games and fattened their record on the lousy bottom of the BE. SU did not belong and I am happy the committee got it right although they screwed up not taking FSU.
If by alot you man 1 then I agree. They beat 3 quality teams and one potential big time team. They beat good teams in 'Nova and marquette and then they beat GU- that's it! their next best win was probably Holy Cross.Originally Posted by pauliec
How can you say the Big East is 4 or 5 at best. The ACC has 2 teams that finished in the Top 25 rankings while the Big East has 5 all in the top 20. Duke, NC, Maryland all had a bunch of cupcake wins just like the Big East teams. Hell NC played Gardner - Webb and High Point. I think the committe let some of these teams in beacuse of thier names and beacuse they would be a bigger draw.Originally Posted by nyjunc
As far a Florida State goes they finished 3-7 down the stretch and didnt even have a winning conference record. If you cant finish at .500 in your conference then you Definately don't deserve to bin in the Big Dance.
Actually according to the RPI the BE is the 5th best conf.
5 top 20 teams b/c they get to beat up on all the bottom feeders in the BE. The BE has so many bad teams that the upper half gets to fatten their record on bad teams, that didn't happen int he ACC this year. Teams just knocked each other off every week and even carolina who probably has the most talent in the Country lost 5 games in conf.
Every team has cupcake wins but when the cupcakes highlight your sched then you know you have a problem and that is always the case for SU.
FSU was 3-7 BUt they were w/o starting PG Toney Douglas and when he came back they started to win again. In the non-conf they beat Florida who is the #1 overall seed, they played Pitt and Wisconsin, they beat providence and in the ACC they beat Va tech, they beat MD, they won at duke, they beat NC State who was playing well down the stretch. FSU belonged in the Tourney and certainly they were a bigger snub than SU.
Well, the best conference in basketball has 1 team in the sweet sixteen.
and was 5-2 after rd 1 while the Be had more loses despite less teams. The ACC was best top to bottom, if we had 5-6 bad teams like the BE we would have had more 2 and 3 seeds like GU and Pitt and would have more teams in the sweet 16. If Pitt and Gu played in the ACC they would have had enough lsoses to drop them to a 5 or 6 seed. You did see GU breese through the BE Tourney but when they faced an ACC team the other day they had to fight for their lives to pull it out late- those are the types of games they would have had to play all year if they played in the ACC.Originally Posted by OrangeJet
The "snubbed" Orange just had their season ended by the 8th place team in the ACC.Originally Posted by OrangeJet
I suppose I could blame it on the seeding and say Syracuse should have been playing at home...but I'll just say Syracuse lost fair and square, and made it as far as the snubbed FSU.Originally Posted by nyjunc

Tip of the Day - Test Equipment
Early in your playing career, experiment with lots of rackets and sponge. Borrow rackets from other players to try out. You need to learn what's available, and find out what feels right for you. But once you find a combination that you like, stick with it until you have a very good reason for switching. This doesn't mean you shouldn't try out new types of equipment – testing is OK, just don't get stuck in a cycle of constantly switching your equipment, and never getting really comfortable with anything.
The two worse things you can do are 1) never to experiment much, and so never know what the possibilities are, and 2) over-experiment after you've found equipment that works for you.

When Brian Sabo opened his new restaurant, Meo Mio, in Chattanooga Valley in January, he thought it would take several months before he could call it a solid success. But business has exceeded expectations, he said.
When it comes to food, looks matter.
To truly experience Chattanooga, visitors shouldn't be content with riding the Incline Railway or goggling at the Tennessee Aquarium's undersea menagerie. Restaurateurs and proponents of local agriculture say they need to taste it, too.
There are several Chattanooga restaurants that now have second- and third-generation managers running these family businesses.
No matter how enticing that steak, chicken breast or pork chop, your entree would be pretty lonely sitting solo on the plate. Time to introduce the sides.
Do you want fine china or paper plates? Is a buffet more your style, or would you prefer your guests seated? Are you feeding a handful or hundreds?
Most of us have a favorite restaurant. It might be a once-a-year anniversary place, or it might be the spot we go every day for coffee.
Standing outside TGI Friday's in downtown Chattanoooga on a busy Friday night, James Johnson of Atlanta knew it was going to take some time before he would be seated.
It might not make anybody's list of healthy foods, but fried chicken is at or near the top of most everyone's list of comfort foods.
Rules, it has been said, are made to be broken, and that is certainly true when it comes to pairing food and wine.

All on our whole body's functions will most certainly be controlled because of the Autonomic Nervous System, which often is divided in order to 2 away branches often called the 'Sympathetic Branch' so the 'Para-
The Sympathetic Branch should be the part of unquestionably the nervous process that readies the physical body for 'fight or flight' responses while in times amongst threat probably emergency. When switched about it prices of speed up heart rate, improvements blood pressure, slows lower digestion or diverts keep away brought on by the table of the actual body you can the internal organs.
The Para-
The herbal tendency regarding these double branches is to circulation from particular to their other, amounts of time of impressive physical hobby are utilised by circumstances of relaxation and revitalisation. In several of the company today however, stress portions are as high in which it there has been an discrepancy in unquestionably the nervous gadget and often the sympathetic part is consistently switched on, almost in view that if my husband and i are re-
For cleansing, detoxification on top of that rejuvenation we must be in an state regarding rest as well as a relaxation that would switch with regards to the restoration benefits towards the parasympathetic branch relating to our whole body's system. That it is primary to find a day and lay down where you can easy going down, disconnect from exterior stimulation retreat in the challenges of work, family then social conditions.
Deep yoga
2. Encourage The Detoxing Response / Fasting
The your rate of digestion of cooking is definitely one of this particular largest utility consuming types of treatments that all of my body carries out across an each and every day basis. This situation can necessitate upwards because of 6 evenings for a great meal so that it will be thoroughly digested, consumed and their waste solutions and products to become eliminated as a result of the shape. The normal daily strategy of breakfast, lunch while dinner numerous other healthy benefits snacks yet beverages impart up time for an massive amount of work and energy price for an body.
You is likely to cleanse possessing fasting, however the authentic work, you see, the release and after that elimination behind deeply employed toxins simply just begins when we summary of putting treats in involving our mouths. When we fast, (going without need of food to an worked out period of time) under the first 36 long hours the energy sources that is truly normally put to use by their body for digestion grows freed up, and is simply diverted within order to the procedure of filtering and publishing the boost up akin to toxins the body maintains accumulated and stored toward be treated with when the human body is a lot fewer burdened. This guidance free levels of energy activates this particular body's detoxing response and this now unburdened by the need with regards to digestion is often able as a way to release the excess along with toxins the site was powerless to conduct business with near an first time.
To initialize the body is cleansing kind of reaction and guidance in removal of these profound stored unsafe it is now essential which will fee this body right from its will require to digest, assimilate as well as an eliminate enormous qualities together with food. Usually the best way to have this is truly by carrying out a liquids only prompt of grease or good water for that you simply period relating to 3 in which to 7 period.
3. Even out " free radicals " -
Our being are built of about 70% water, yet largely of north american are does not in a very state involved with chronic dehydration. When has been the most recent time your family drank the recommended each quota having to do with 8 cups of drinking water?
Chronic dehydration is predictable to impulse more together with 75% of the the nation and leads to any kind of whole host of fairly unrelated medical problems. Sloth-
The 3 rd key so that you any sprinkler system program are to gulp 2 through 3 liters of consuming water per big day.
Drinking sufficiently amounts with regards to water is usually essential with respect to rehydrating the cells pointing to the body, saturating how the system and providing the solution critical to take out and terminate toxins including the blood, tissues in addition to organs as a consequence they will be sweated off then urinated from of any body.
If people are surrounding to begin on a major cleansing process be obviously to keep good superior quality purified consumption water and as well , drink over and over throughout the actual day. Using doing for this reason you will likely ensure who the bloodstream and regions stay moisturized and come with the requested agent at dilute toxins and assist their flushing out from which the body.
4. Circulation the Lymph -
While you see, the blood is also responsible towards delivering outside and vitamins to most of the cells although well once carrying away carbon dioxide and other great metabolic takes up for excretion, the the lymphatic system system supplies with all the coarsest dangerous and the majority highly citrus wastes then its sizeable function are that off a barricade mechanism.
Often mentioned to equally the a second set of circulatory system, the Lymph unlike blood, does no longer have the dog's own water to circulate it all over the physique and you'll be able to relies after skeletal muscle contractions with regard to move out which simply leaves the software program vulnerable to make sure you stagnation and toxic traffic jam in inactive people.
During an absolute cleansing process it is ordinarily especially important to engage in light exercise movements to always the lymphatic system fluid going as a sedentary lifestyle can routinely keep toxins handing them out in all bloodstream in addition to prolong most of the discomfort and length linked the detoxing process.
Light pastime and Dull Skin Cleaning are more than two effective techniques for enabling the lymphatic system and furthermore boosting bloodstream circulation. Both bring to mind the sweating glands and as well as opens pores, increases circulatory system circulation to be underlying bodily organs and face of our own body as well enhances proper organ offer.
A working day program from gentle actions and routine such as walking, swimming, yoga, yoga and massage and pores brushing gives all the very means beneficial for that this lymphatic feature to perform its work and particular the essential processes involved with detoxification.
5. Clean the Intestinal -
The latter part of the Dr Gary Walker to whom extolled which the benefits attached to juice fasting and intestinal tract health or who were to 99 years of age said: "The taking away of partly digested food so other squandering products is actually equally serious as my proper the digestive system and ingestion of supper... The quite best involving diets should be able to be no more better than the surprisingly worst if or when the sewage system including the colon is stopped with a fabulous collection among waste additionally corruption."
And this tool is important! The intestinal system is literally the portal of any entire body chemistry. Due to our happily busy lifestyles and even poor cuisine habits, some colon has the ability to harbor of putrefied waste on the figure of condensed fecal matter, mucoid cavity enducing plaque and other useful toxic remains within the specific folds together with the intestines. Cleansing most of the colon within this chemical matter is going to promote smarter digestion, ingestion and eliminations, and can possibly help with increase gas and vitality, boost all immune software and soothe the indications and symptoms of ill health and ailments.
The really way returning to cleanse my colon along with remove this build enhance of lose matter is really to practice a merging of regular cleansing spices and colonic irrigation.

New Grey's Anatomy Promo: Lightening It Upby Steve Marsi at . Comments
A new, shortened promo for tonight's Grey's Anatomy has been released, and it's a sexy one!
When life gets heavy, there's only one way for this group of doctors to lighten things up ...
If you know what we mean! Watch the teaser for "Love the One You're With" now:
For four scenes from this evening's episode, check out our Grey's Anatomy videos page, then check back later tonight for our official review of the third installment of Season 9. Looks like a good one!
Steve Marsi is the Managing Editor of TV Fanatic. Follow him on Google+ or email him here.Tags: Grey's Anatomy, Promos
The way I see it they're scrimping on the costs for promoting Grey's to make up for the raises they gave PD, EP, SO and the others. They have a limited budget so they do the minimum promotion. They have to keep Grey's alive for Scandal, which will be tested tonight. It's on the verge if falling below 2.0 in the demo. Grey's won't last forever. ABC needs another drama hit and they're banking on Scandal.
@Jarrod Its the ABC vision to keep their cash cow healthy .. more promotion leads to more viewers and Grey's with a huge fan following already along with the effect of promotion brings in more revenue rather than spending that much amount/airtime promoting shows that won't result similarly. I know i drifted into advertising technical stuff but that's what it is :)
Loved the title of the episode! Its a great song by crosby nash and stills!!
they call this a promo?
Mer's wearing her ill at the boards PJs, sorry pyjamas.
@R: But that's my point. Why not promote shows that need it instead of shows that get way too much?
@ Jarrod Mitchell: maybe because Grey's Anatomy remains to be one of the highest rated shows in audience and demo - DUH!!
I don't know why ABC continues to promote this show. Don't get me wrong, I love it, but it honestly gets too much.

Scottish Meat Pie Company
- f
- friscofrog Jan 14, 2007 05:48 AM
In my quest for haggis in honor of the upcoming Robert Burns birthday I found this "bakery" in Dixon, CA near Davis which makes haggis and various meat pies. Has anyone had any experiences with them? Is it worth a trek out to Dixon? Since Noble pies vanished from Oakland I have not found a source of reliable meat pies.
Here's a post from a customer, but no tasting report -
I have nothing but good to say about the Scottish Meat Pie Company.Being an English exile living in Vallejo I make regular trips to Dixon to stock up on pies, haggis, sausage and black pudding all the things I miss from home and they are every bit as goos as my local butchers was.
I would highly recommend them to eny British ex pat or the curious American.
I had one of their meat pies at the Scottish Games in Oakland recently. It was ok. Small and not that flavorful but ok. Crust was kind of gummy I thought.
When I lived in Sacramento I would make regular treks out to the Scottish Meat Pie Company. More often than not I would get bangers (tasty!). On occassion I would get the meat pies. The haggis is quite nice, but difficult to get from them sometimes. They are often out of stock. In fact, I don't think that they even make it most of the year. They only start making it in preparation for Robert Burns birthday. I would strongly recommend calling ahead to find out what they have in stock or maybe put in an advance order. Their hours aren't the most convenient and it's a long trip to make to go home empty handed.
My parents both immigrated from Scotland and I lived in Glasgow for a while where I consumed my weight in Haggis Supppers from the local chippy's. Everyone has different taste, but I can tell you this. Their pies and haggis are closer to what you get in Scotland than anyone else's I've had here in the states. Granted, meat pies are not chalk-full of spices, but they are good, simple honest Scottish food. His haggis can't be beat by anyone out here.
So yes...it is definitely worth a trip to buy some pies or haggis!!!
OK ... let's try this link one more time. Nice article about the place from the Sacramento Bee
"Alex Henderson and his daughter, Saundra, run the restaurant and make everything from scratch using traditional recipes. They sell their goods at Celtic fairs and Highland games around the state"
Here's what is on the menu: Scottish pies (ground beef, turkey, and vegetables), bangors, haggis, sandwiches, Heinz beans on toast and hot dogs.
They also have a few groceries such as black pudding, Irish back bacon, HP Sauce.
Scottish Meat Pie
245 N 1st St, Dixon, CA
re: choocktor42
OK. Just got the full story for Alec, the former owner. He did close the Scottish Meat Pie Company because it was too much work, but he moved all of the commercial kitchen implements to his house. If you call the number for Scottish Meat Pie Company, Alec is willing to make you a haggis. We ordered one up and then stopped by in Davis and met him and picked it up. Haven't tasted it yet, and as I am Japanese and I have never had haggis, I don't feel qualified to offer up a review once I have. Also got a meat pie and blood sausage!
re: wolfe
I've had it a number of times in Scotland, but upscale versions where the amount of liver was toned down I think. In that case, it was very good -- sort of a sausage filling with oatmeal.
In SF, I only had it a couple times when Edinburgh Castle did their Burns Night Celebration and that was nasty and way too liverish for my taste.
Edinburgh Castle
950 Geary St, San Francisco, CA
re: Joan Kureczka
Hi Joan. What you had (haggis) is usually known as Tourist Haggas. It is good, like a pate, but doesn't have alot of liver or other "guts" that are used with real haggis. You were very brave to try it - most wouldn't go near it if they were offered a million dollars to try it. I have had the real thing - not bad, if you can get past the ingredients, but let me tell you - heartburn that could light up all of Texas!
re: pugmom11235
I think that this describes the one the we got from the Scottish Meat Pie guy, Alec. There seemed to be a lot of grains (not oatmeal, more of a small, quinoa-ish grain) and it was not particularly gamy. I like liver, and I eat a lot of other organ meats, and in comparison, this was not like that. Sausage filling is a good way to describe it, although with a slightly different flavoring than any other type of sausage. I also picked up a blood sausage (it appears to be made by some other company from the wrapping) and that was definitely gamier and less refined, but quite tasty if you like that sort of thing (my wife refused to eat it because of the smell, if that helps.)
Sorry, I can't be any clearer than that, but I'm not very good at describing flavors that are unlike any others I've tried. Overall, however, I found it to be a very worthwhile experiment!
re: Sharpish
Sharpish - completely disagree... Haggis traditionally contains oatmeal, not barley. And if cut differently, it could have been the grain described as not oatmeal is cut or made the same.
re: pugmom11235
Well, maybe so Pugmom, but as 3 of the 5 offerings I tried over the years were at some of Glasgow's best restaurants, including the very traditional Ubiquitous Chip, I wouldn't label them "tourist". Probably the most livery version -- but still quite good -- was at the only place we've been that you could definitely point to as being for the tourists, up on Loch Ness. And no bravery was required in any case, all versions being quite decent. The best was probably Stravaigin's which indeed did win an award for Best Haggis in Scotland in 2005.

Stay up-to-date with KAKE News:
Mark Woleslagle's backyard is about to be run over by Highway 61. The highway is due for expansion. In order to make it a four-lane freeway, officials say they need to reroute part of the highway near residential areas in Hutchinson. Many residents oppose the project. They plan to spend about $200 million.
So far, 300 people have signed a petition to block the construction. Woleslagel and his neighbors say they are upset not just because of where the road will go, but because of how much it will cost taxpayers.
Kansas Department of Transportation officials say if the highway is expanded at its current location, it will affect more homes and disrupt the railroad. They say relocation will cost the same or less, but there have not been any studies to support this claim. Officials say that after years of research, they believe this is the best plan.
K-DOT officials say resistance from the public has caused to them reevaluate the highway 61 plan. They plan to release their findings and more explanations next week, but don't expect any major changes to the plan.

Microsoft: Don't overclock Windows 8 unless you like our new BSOD
Re: Sooo...
Probably has more to do with people not knowing what they're doing and all the new fangled "overclock it for me" utilities. I've never used one, but I'd guess such utilities are heavy handed with the vcore. I've been running a Q6600 overclocked to 3.6GHz for the last five years without issues. The only BSODs were due to RAM issues, which as we all know, are all too common these days. In those five years I've probably been through three sets of DIMMs because one or both in a set failed. The memory, for what it's worth, is running at stock speeds and timings. I don't see a reason to mess with it.
Time to replace the old beast, though. I'd have never thought I'd have used it so long back when I built it.
'Super-powerful' Flame worm actually boring BLOATWARE
Why bother attacking Kharg Island with a worm? My friends and I have been blowing the shit out of that place for the last six months in AH-1Zs and Abrams tanks.
Cray's Q4 whacked by AMD's Opteron delays
When is Cray going to see the light and switch to intel? I think the only thing keeping Cray with AMD is their significant amount of effort put into HyperTransport. I'm not certain, I haven't been keeping up lately, but I believe HT still might offer some advantages over QPI. That also might be another reason for Cray staying with Advanced Misadventures and Disasters.
Eventually Cray is going to start running parallel equipment development on QPI and then AMD's days will be numbered. It's probably already started.
I like how AMD fanboys always whine about how "intel rips people off". AMD only sells their CPUs cheaply because they have to. I remember buying Opteron 270s and paying an assload of money for them, prices equivalent to intel 2S CPUs now. AMD is a corporation just like intel, they'll charge whatever they think they can get. They're not "the nice guy".
Yes, they really should have bit the bullet and purchased nVidia. nVidia was, and still is, way ahead of ATi (now AMD of course) in GPGPU. Considering that AMD still has some influence and cache in the HPC world, I think nVidia would have been a much better pairing in the short and the long term.
Spillover from 400lb man squeezed fellow flier into galley
I wonder what America (or increasingly Britain) would have to do in case of an epic war. Obviously, fat people are no good for war unless you're going to use them as bullet sponges. Probably not something you could get away with, even with massive propaganda.
Just think if the US had to draft millions of conscripts today. It'd have to run fat camps to get them prepared to go into boot camp. I'm sure at some level, the US military is very worried about this. The US military, at least the ground pounders that fight, have always been some of the most fit human beings on the planet. This generally being the opinion of French or British military brass who have needed them to beat equally large and scary Teutonic super men.

UK's first Stealth fighter in successful catapult test
Development time
I find it strange how much longer it takes to build and test aircraft these days. How many years did it take from RFP to IOC with the F-15A? I don't know when the RFP went out for the F-X program, but the Air Force chose the Eage December 23, 1969. The F-15A reached it's initial operation capability January 6, 1976. That's seven years.
The YF-22 was chosen as the winner of the ATF program on April 23, 1991. Unlike the F-15, the plane had already been built and flown in competition with the YF-23. The F-22A reached it's initial operational capability December 15, 2005. That's over 14 years.
It's as if Lockheed-Martin decided to milk the US Government on the already expensive F-22A. I know that the Raptor is a technically advanced air craft, but so was the Eagle. The Eagle was the first fourth generation fighter aircraft. It represented as much a leap forward in it's day as the Raptor. It took half as long to develop and deploy.
I'm sure if you look at the development and deployment of the F-16 and F/A-18 and compare it with the F-35A and F-35C, you're likely to find very similar time lines to the F-15A and F-22A. A defense contractor milking the US, and in this case, foreign taxpayer.
It depends on how advanced the ASBMs are and what kind of defenses the carrier group has. The US, in particular, is known for it's very advanced Aegis destroyers and cruisers. The SM-3 and Aegis combination has a certain level of ABM capability. If this is enough to counter the Chinese ASBM threat, no one knows. What is likely, however, is that future systems will be developed and deployed with this threat in mind. I would assume both missile systems and directed energy systems.
With a nuclear warhead, you really don't need a dedicated anti-ship ballistic missile. Any ballistic missile with enough range would work assuming it could be fired fast enough and had a warhead with sufficient yield.
£1.1bn Royal Navy warship finally armed, sort of
Most advanced, least useful destroyer in the world. No cruise missiles, not anti-ship missiles, no close-in anti-missile defense. Not even a token ABM setup. I'm sure the US could re-do an Arleigh Burke with super-advanced technology and make it useless to actual war if they wanted to, but they're smarter than that.
Intel outs future Xeon chip porn
Sandy Bridge-EP
I would guess it'll be available in Q3 or Q4. The high-end desktop processors, based on the same design, are supposedly slated for Q4. Intel might launch the server versions first to knock AMD's Bulldozer down a notch. That, or they could launch them after the desktop parts which has been the tradition the last few times. I'm doubting it, that would mean a launch in Q1 12 which seems a bit late.
As for the article, I highly doubt intel would be going to 28nm. Their next node is 22nm. I remember back before Nehalem-EX was released, everyone assumed it's 32nm follow-on would have 12-cores and 24-threads, not 10/20. I'm guessing intel ran into some heat/power or maybe yield issues and had to scale it back.

The Town

SGI forges overclocked servers for Wall Street
What in the name of god are you talking about? Run older chipsets? The only chipset that works with these processors is the Tylersburg chipset. Maybe by chipset you mean processor, in which case the answer is no. Older processors, larger fabrication size. They'll not only not run as fast, they'll draw more power and dump more heat doing it. Sticking the systems in a freezer is also a pretty bad idea from a power standpoint.
Assuming that they're using 95W processors to being with (they may be using 150W processors, who knows?) and they overclock them 20% they'll probably get 50% more TDP (worst case scenario). Again, assuming the use of 95W CPUs they'll have to dissipate 142.5W of heat per socket. That's nothing out of the ordinary, intel sells Xeons with 150W TDPs. It get's a little bit more tricky if they are in fact using those 150W processors, but it's still possible to dissipate up to 250W per socket with massive heatsinks with powerful fans or with water cooling. They don't need any exotic cooling methods to get it done.
I was somewhat surprised when I saw EVGA's ginormous SR-2 motherboard in Appros system. Then again, unless you design it yourself where else are you going to get a 5520 motherboard that allows you to overclock? When I saw the headline, I figured this beast would be running EVGA's motherboard and I wasn't disappointed.
I seriously hope EVGA does this again for Sandy Bridge-EP processors. It would be awesome to have 16-cores and 32-threads all running at 4.5GHz. Too bad I wouldn't be able to afford it...
Nvidia and HPC's second act
If you think that you're not going to have to recompile/rewrite a large portion of your x86/x64 code to run on intel's MIC architecture, you better think again. Not to mention that it's not out yet, the first generation is supposedly only going to be for software development, and we have no real idea how it will perform.

The difference between the SSC and the ISS? The later was actually for science.
Intel preps new Xeons for March 16 launch
I'd rather have a Beckton...
It's hard to tell what kind of power draw/heat output AMD chips have since they switched to using 'make believe' numbers on their server chips awhile back. In reality, they'll probably suck down a little less power than a Xeon 76xx but with lower performance. The memory buffers? Those are a necessity when you're dealing with 16 DIMM slots per processor. That 4S Tyan motherboard AMD is giving away, it has 16 DIMM slots on the entire motherboard. At least intel isn't requiring them on systems that don't need them (Nehalem-EP/Westmere-EP).
The Magny Cours Opterons seem like a real kludge compared to the Beckton Xeons. It's pretty funny that AMD launches an MCM chip after berating intel for their non-monolithic quad core design for so long (when AMD only had dual cores). That said, the new Opterons will probably be a quite competitive kludge. intel took their sweet time with Beckton, no doubt because of the system's complexity. I wonder how far out the supposed 'Eagleton' processor is? It packs 12-cores/ 24-threads and 36MB of L3 cache onto one continuous die that fits into the same LGA1567 socket.
Oh, and Crysis
Seriously, get over it. It's not too much to ask a Core i5 750 with an HD 5870 to run Crysis at 1920x1200 with high levels of visual quality. I have no trouble running the game with a Q6600 and GTX 275 on a 24" panel. The reason Crysis was so hard to run for so long was due to AMD's lack of a competitive product and nVidia resting on it's laurels because of it.
