With the dust mostly settled on this offseason's player movement — and there was a whole lot of it this year — it's time to take stock of all the fascinating new faces in new places, as well as the more compelling stories of players who will face new challenges while sticking around. Over the course of the next few weeks, Andrew Unterberger will do a team-by-team look at the most interesting players going into next season — one new to the team, and one returning — as we all try to pass the dog days of NBA-less summer, dreaming of hoops-filled months to come. The series continues today with the teams in the Southeast Division: the Hawks, Bobcats, Heat, Magic and Wizards.
Most Interesting New Player: Dennis Schroeder
Yeah, I know this guy is kind of a trendy pick after his Summer League success and all, but man, did you see this guy? That video of assists-that-weren't Trey posted a few weeks ago should be all you need to see to get excited about Schroeder, and every game I watched of his left me more convinced that he was eventually going to be Rajon Rondo with better shooting range. "Eventually" might not be next year, but I don't think the court vision and basic floor general confidence on the level Schroeder seemed to display in Vegas could end up being a mirage — if there was one showcase rookie this year whose skills were legit, I'd bet it's Schroeder. It was a little disappointing that Atlanta balked and re-signed Jeff Teague. It's a fair deal, sure, but if they'd seen Schroeder's Summer League game first, I think they'd leave pretty convinced this was their Point Guard of the Future.
Also disappointing that Schroeder probably won't be joined by fellow rookie Bebe Noguiera on the court this year, as it looks like the Hawks are keeping him stashed overseas for a season. Nogueira was extremely impressive himself in Vegas, and the two showed surprisingly good on-court chemistry and such awesome rookie duos are pretty rare these days. Between them and John Jenkins/Mike Scott in '12, Atlanta has had a couple sneaky awesome drafts now since Danny Ferry came over.
Most Interesting Returning Player: Al Horford
I guess? I didn't find any of the players on their roster last year all that interesting, which is why I hoped they'd blow it up in the offseason, which they sorta did but not really. I actually kinda feel bad for Horford, since after a half-decade of playing out of position at center to accommodate the undersized Josh Smith at power forward, Smith finally flew the coop, and they just replaced him with another undersized power forward, one who should also take plenty of post touches away from Horford. At least this is the East, where there are only like two centers you really have to worry about killing you down low on offense, but man, it might be nearly a decade into his career before Al gets to maybe play his actual position on the court with any regularity. Seems like a raw deal.
Most Interesting New Player: Al Jefferson
Like George Costanza, Al Jefferson is The Man again, and historically speaking, that's not a very good role for him. Big Al's been The Man, to varying degrees, for the last six seasons in Minnesota and Utah, and that's resulted in a grand total of four playoff games for his teams, and (obviously) zero wins. But then again, it's been a minute since he played on a team with expectations as low as this Bobcats team has, where merely leading them to a 27-win season might get Jefferson hailed as a conquering hero. Helping his case this time around is that he's not replacing Kevin Garnett or Carlos Boozer, he's replacing Brendan Haywood and DeSagana Diop. It's about as good a position to "succeed" as Big Al could ask for.
When the Bobcats first snagged Jefferson, I thought it was one of the dumbest signings of the offseason, an overpay to a player who'd never prove he was worth all that much in the first place, and who even in a best-case scenario wouldn't make that huge of a difference. But I think I get it now. You can't just be the worst forever, and if Jefferson makes them 15 percent less bad — not good enough to drag them out of lottery contention, but good enough to get the team's line graph moving noticeably and encouragingly along the Y-axis — that's probably something worth the short-term investment.
Most Interesting Returning Player: Michael Kidd-Gilchrist
What seemed like a sure thing at the time of the 2012 Draft is seeming, uh, less sure these days. Everyone agreed MKG was the smart pick at No. 2, that he'd be awesome on defense and would eventually figure out offense. But the guy we saw at the end of last season and in this year's Summer League sure didn't look like he was figuring out much — his shooting form is one of the league's ugliest, and his shot selection was at a near-Dion Waiters level of questionability. He may only need to be average on offense to have worth as a shutdown defender and athletic floor-runner and finisher, but you don't really want to be taking a one-way player with the No. 2 overall pick, especially when your team doesn't exactly have offense to spare from most other positions.
Supposedly Mark Price, one of the league's all-time great shooters, has made fixing MGK's broken jumper a top priority as one of the team's new assistant coaches. I wish them luck, but as a fan of Evan Turner, another No. 2 pick with a jumper seemingly beyond recovery who's tried just about every offseason remedy for a fix, I'd advise Bobcats fans not to get their hopes up too much.
Most Interesting New Player: Greg Oden
Well, it's either Oden or James Ennis. Obviously I was not a huge fan of Oden's unsurprising decision to sign with the Heat, and it's hard to be totally objective about it now. But of course, Oden was going to be one of the season's biggest stories no matter where he signed. And for the Heat, it's something to keep the team interesting during the dog days of the season when they're beating up the Kings and Bucks and LeBron's coming a couple rebounds or assists from a triple-double every night and there's nothing more to say about player and team than "What more can you say about LeBron and the Heat?" At the very least, Oden's signing takes the pressure off Miami to have another 27-game winning streak just to keep their fans engaged in early 2014.
And I will say, I am interested just to see Greg Oden take the court again. I wish it could have been for a team I have less ill will towards, but it's been so long that I've basically forgotten what it was ever like to see this skilled, athletic, prematurely super-old-looking 7-foot dude with the name "Oden" on his jersey actually playing professional basketball. It'll still make me to smile to see him out there. Plus, he and LeBron will have the best combination of forehead creases of any teammate duo in the league.
Most Interesting Returning Player: Dwyane Wade
Could LeBron ever not be the most interesting player on his own team? If not, this season is the season, as LeBron is currently the unquestioned best player in the game with a now totally unassailable reputation in all facets of the game. The only interesting thing he could do at this point is to inexplicably suck for a couple weeks, and smart money wouldn't be on that happening anytime soon. Dwyane Wade, on the other hand, has the chance to all but sink the Heat with his declining athleticism and poor shooting range, if the diminished player we saw for most of the playoffs was actually just who D-Wade is now, and not a player with lingering injuries who'll come back full force and make us all look stupid at the beginning of next year.
My bet is that Wade has a very good first month or so statistically, leading to a lot of "What could we possibly have been worried about?" type columns about prematurely reported demise, but that he wears down over the course of the season, and again has stretches in the postseason that have ABC announcers (and LeBron himself) making 2009 Cavs references. Or maybe that's just my selfish hope and Wade is gonna be pissed off 2008 Wade all season. Point is, there's some interesting variation at play, where we pretty much know that LeBron's just gonna be the best forever.
Most Interesting New Player: Victor Oladipo
I actually think Oladipo might underwhelm some in his rookie season — his offensive game doesn't have a ton going on just yet, it's gonna take him some time to adjust to the speed of the pro level, and he's gonna have a bit more responsibility on this team (#ORLANDIPO) than will probably be healthy for him. Still, even if he won't light up the league, I expect Victor Oladipo to have himself some moments — an explosive dunk or two, a big shot and accompanying celebration, a super-cocky locker room quote or something — to make his one of the year's more enjoyable rookie seasons anyway. He seems one of the most self-assured rookies to come into the league in some time, and I'm pretty excited for his game to eventually catch up to his confidence, even if it might not happen in its entirety this year.
And a note to the music director at Amway Center: Get real, real friendly with Jay-Z's "Hola Hovito." Any Magic fan that's heard the song before will undoubtedly have it stuck in their head all season anyway, you may as well make some sort of rallying cry out of it.
Most Interesting Returning Player: Tobias Harris
I keep forgetting Harris is even on the Magic, even though he was arguably their best player since coming over in that mid-season Milwaukee trade, with eye-popping averages of 17.3 points and 8.5 rebounds per in 27 games for Orlando. Those 27 games probably feel like a hazy memory for Magic fans, and it's hard to tell if those numbers are a sample size/late season garbage time mirage, or if they're just empty numbers for a bad team (Harris' PER for ORL was a good-not-great 17.0), or if Harris could really end up being one of the great trade deadline steals of the 21st century.
I personally like Harris' game, so I'm hoping it's the latter, but I also wouldn't be shocked if he had an Ersan Ilyasova-like beginning to the season and quickly started losing minutes to Mo Harkless and Andrew Nicholson, while never really approaching those late 2013 numbers again. The Magic have three or four players sort of like that, though — including Harkless and Nicholson themselves — so it might take nearly the whole season to figure out who on their team is actually good.
Most Interesting New Player: Otto Porter
Pretty much a default choice here, since Porter was not particularly interesting in the Summer League, and the dude actually compares his own game to that of Tayshaun Prince, a perennial NBA Least Interesting Player candidate. But it's either Porter, Glen Rice Jr. or Eric Maynor, and at least Porter has some draft stock to live up to. Besides, Porter panning out could be the difference between the Wizards actually having the core of an eventual yearly playoff contender and being stuck in a Raptors-like limbo, so that's kinda big. I'll need to see more than a couple mostly-invisible exhibition games out of Porter to actually get excited about his pro potential, but I plan on watching a whole lot of Wiz on League Pass this year, so we'll see.
Side note: I was really hoping that the Wizards would get DeJuan Blair in free agency. DeJuan would invariably have ended up playing a huge reserve (and inevitably, injury replacement) role on Washington's front lines, rather than getting mixed in with the permanently unsettled rotation of big men in Dallas, where he ultimately signed. Dude's been lost in the shuffle for long enough, I say.
Most Interesting Returning Player: Jan Vesely
Just about everyone returning this year for Washington is interesting, from the recently maxed-out John Wall to sophomore sensation Bradley Beal to the tantalizing (but always hurt) Nene. But I just can't give up on Jan Vesely, who showed just enough in this year's Summer League to raise hopes once more that he can find a way to translate his motor and athleticism into being a legitimate NBA contributor beyond the occasional highlight dunk. (He even hit a baseline jumper at one point!) Getting anything out of Vesely at this point would be a huge win for the Wizards, who had all but written off their former No. 6 pick (only three drafts ago!) as a sunk cost when planning for their future. To have Vesely as an acceptable backup for Nene's inevitable 20 games on the bench — or at least a rotation cog to keep Washington from needing too much Kevin Serpahin — would be enormous.
Plus, this guy is really, really fun to watch and root for, even as a lost cause. Even if he doesn't turn out to be all that good, I just wanna see some Jan on the court this season.

I bought some sarracenia and two dwarf bananas from Wellspring100 (Ebay seller). There listing does say the plants are small, so I expected small. The sarracenias were small....but each had many healthy pitchers! They were bigger than I expected. The price was excellent, the shipping cost was very good. The plants were packaged beautifully. Shipping was a little slow. The listing does state that in advance so I can't complain about that....I am just inpatient! LOL! I will order from them again.

By "now" I mean in the summer time, like this month (July) or during August. We moved into a new house with a lot of garden space, much of it bare, and I'm anxious to get some ground covers going. This being the northeast I also have rocks galore and want to make lots of rock gardens. We are currently having a heat wave -- high 90s, but I am assuming it won't last forever and the temps will be back down to the 80s. So, assuming I am able to find some purple mazus plants (which is in itself harder than I expected), could I pop them in the ground without waiting for fall? Thank you!, |

I think Miss Sporty makeup is a joke in general but this lipliner is quite awesome. I got this to tide me over until I could get my hands on MAC Oak but it's so good I might actually stick to it now!
The colour is basically the same as Oak, maybe it has a tiny bit more of a reddish undertone, nothing noticeable though. Consistency is creamy and it stays on just as long as any other expensive lipliner. And for £2 I can sharpen it as often as I want.
I've worn this with a variety of shades as it's basically the same shade as my lips, just a bit more brown. It looked really good with my peach and taupe lipsticks. It's pretty much a staple lipliner colour, definitely recommended if you don't want to shell out on MAC or something more expensive.
And here is the bonus: if you have coppery red hair, this works beautifully as an eyebrow pencil. Don't laugh. I had my hair dyed copper from black a few days ago and I couldn't find anything to fill out my eyebrows with to match my hair. I grabbed this in a whim and drew on my brows - whoa, perfect coppery red brows that stay on very long.
i love this as a cheap alternative to Macs oak liner. is almost as pigmented as mac, stays on nearly as long, but for the price its good. always re purchase this.

Designer Oscar Fernandez is making it easier for those confined to wheelchairs to get around with his Independent Wheelchair Assistant. The Independent Wheelchair Assistant is an extra set of electrically powered wheels that eliminates the need for electric scooters/power chairs.
For short trips around town, a wheelchair is fine. Longer jaunts often require a wheelchair user to switch from a manually powered wheelchair to an electric scooter. These extra pieces of equipment cost money and can't exactly be switched into seamlessly. The Independent Wheelchair Assistant would attach to the user's wheelchair and allow them to get a boost of electric power whenever they needed it. The IWA can be detached and stored in front of buildings for when the user has reached his destination. Eliminating the need for a power chair would save the wheelchair-bound money and make life easier overall.

A few months ago I eagerly ordered a few seasons of The Man from U.N.C.L.E, one of my favorite television shows when I was a kid. I remembered sleek sets, cool villains, glamorous action set pieces. My memory was kind. The actual show looked almost comically cheesy and awful forty years later. Those were the days when television was derided as "the vast wasteland", and though there were some quality offerings – The Defenders. Paladin, I Spy, The Twilight Zone – most of what the networks were offering between the cigarette ads was low-budget dreck. An actor who moved from films to TV was committing career suicide, and even in the mid-eighties, when unknown bartender Bruce Willis scored the lead in Moonlighting, the idea that he could jump to features – and for the impossible, unbelievable payday of five million dollars – was shocking and bizarre.
Well, times have changed.
As the quality of big studio Hollywood movies declines, television has become the venue of choice for the most talented writers, actors and directors in Hollywood. There are a number of reasons for this. Television has always been a writer-dominated business, with directors – especially in comedy – playing a secondary role. The rise of cable further enhanced this hierarchy. When the great Matthew Weiner, whose show Mad Men starts its eagerly awaited fourth season on Sunday night, said in the Emmy- award acceptance speech. "The difference between me and the rest of you is that I have complete creative freedom" it was like a battle cry. The quality of work that such unfettered inspiration produced over the last decade – from The Sopranos, Six feet Under and The Wire to Weeds, Dexter and Treme – has made most of the films produced in this era look puny and venal by comparison.
The idea of letting creative people do their work unmolested had gradually seeped into Network television, also, from The West Wing to Friday Night Lights, both of which are as good as anything on cable, and in some ways better since the demands of a network show are so much greater. Treme's first season consisted of ten episodes, written by a brilliant team. A The West Wing season demanded more than twice as much work -- twenty-two episodes, most of them written by one crazy, drug-fueled genius, though Aakron Sorkin did have a staff of writers and a group of political experts to suggest story lines and make sure the details were accurate.
Now film actors are happy to do television. Glen Close had flourished on Damages and David Caruso was lucky to get back onto CSI Miami after a string of forgettable films.
This shouldn't be anything new: the real explanation for television's new ascendancy has been an intrinsic part of the medium, all along. The first hint of television's narrative superiority over the movies came with the adaptations of two Irwin Shaw novels. An unjustly neglected writer these days, Shaw was a wildly famous and profligate best-selling author from the forties until his death in 1984. His big World War Two novel, The Young Lions, was made into a pretty good film with Marlon Brando playing a disaffected Nazi and Montgomery Clift as a Jewish soldier. Like most films made from books, it was inevitably a disappointment to both the writer and his fans: so much left out, altered, elided – so much lost in translation.
In the seventies ABC did a mini-series based on another Shaw novel, Rich Man, Poor Man. It was a huge hit an inspired other 'long form' productions – like Roots and The Winds of War.
Clearly, this was the way to honor a novel and do justice to the complexities of its character and story-lines. In the eighties Television started exploring this concept more and more, though without the burden of adaptation. Shows like Hill Street Blues, L.A.Law and E.R. seemed to be using the techniques of soap opera in their continuing story lines, but the hystrionics and clichés that characterized 'daytime drama' were wholly absent from these more sophisticated shows. They worked like literature, showing characters and situations developing over time, with multi-layered subplots, let-motifs and ambiguous resolutions to problems TV had rarely bothered with before – the aftermath of a police shooting, for instance, or the conflict of conscience for n abortion provider.
The great series we're watching now, like Mad Men, are the logical continuation of this process. Though a contract dispute or a cocaine conviction can throw a series into confusion and mediocrity, though at the networks, ratings and censors and advertisers can skew the content of a show, for the most part these programs survive; and some of them triumph. We are living through a golden age of television right now – a mass medium that triumphed precisely because it chose to narrow the appeal of its shows, even as movie studios seek to reach the largest possible audience with the most possible explosions and the broadest narrative gestures. Television – whose early hedgemony was shattered by cable and the internet – has learned to embrace the niche audience. A million people watch Mad Men each week. That's a slim movie audience and a catastrophically tiny network one. But it's enough for Weiner. He's not playing to -- or writing for -- the crowd, he's not trying to hit every demographic, and every 'quadrant' of some hypothetical test audience.
He just wants the smart people.
And he gets them, like the rest of this new elite: Sorkin and the three Davids: Simon(The Wire, Treme) Chase (The Sopranos), and Milch (Deadwood). These are the new auteurs, and their work is the stuff that will hold up forty years from now, when the comic book adaptations, sequels and star vehicles special effects extravaganzas are long forgotten. It's a tough truth to absorb, especially if you're in the 100 million dollar movie business, but as Don Draper memorably pointed out to Peggy Olson in the first episode of Mad Men's second season,
"Just so you know, the people who talk that way think that monkeys can do this. They take all this monkey crap and just stick it in a briefcase completely unaware that their success depends on something more than their shoeshine. YOU are the product. You- FEELING something. That's what sells. Not them. Not sex. They can't do what we do, and they hate us for it."
But we love you, Don, and we await the next season of Mad Men just as we anticipate the new Jonathan Franzen novel or the American readers lined up on the dock for the next installment of Little Dorritt. The novel isn't dead – it's alive and dangerously robust, and television of all things, that 'great wasteland' that gave us Hee Haw and The Dukes of Hazzard, proves that extraordinary fact beyond the shadow of a doubt.
It's an irony Dickens himself would have appreciated.
Smart audiences equal loyal following.
But they are available on DVD and they can be found if you're willing to put in some time at Metacritic.com.
Cable television looks great and the shows are getting better and better all the time. But for every Deadwood, Mad Men, or Wire - there are twice as many Hawthorne, Haven, and Are We There Yet?
This might be the Golden Age but you still have to sift through the garbage to get to the gold.
And it tells you something when my most eagerly awaited entertainment is the HBO adaptation of George R.R. Martin's Game of Thrones and not some blockbuster movie.
Hollywood films are too caught up in 3D and special effects, whereas television shows still seem to embrace great characters and storytelling.
Great post. Thumbed.
Tomreedtoon -- good point, but it fails to account for the occasional great network TV show ... from My So-Called Life and Freaks and Geeks to The West Wing to Friday Night Lights, which is still somehow going strong ... albeit, with help from a satellite company.

Yes there was a booth where you could buy t-shirts and stuff like that.. But it was also with BLS and Korn.
And Korn played pretty good they play something from Metallica's One I just loved when they did that.
All in one.. The concert was f***ing amazing!!!!!!! \m/ Ozzy! \m/

Personally I did not think much of the Korn show, they've survived themselves, and are not the same as back in the days. BLS was great though.
Ozzy were awsome. This was the first time i've got the chance to see him solo, so that was a amazing experience for me.
Do any of you guys know who the symphony in the beginning of the concert is made by, and what is called? I've tried to find out since I bought the "Tribute" record..

Hey all, I was wondering if any of you know where to find some pictures from the Ozzy concert in Copenhagen ?? Thanks in advance :) :)

Wonderful rental!
Beautiful townhouse, well kept and clean. Location was great - very short walk to the beach, and a mile from The Pier - close enough to walk yet far enough to eliminate noise and crowds. Easy dealings with the owners, and security deposit returned in a timely manner. No WiFi was a drawback, as was no televisions in the bedrooms. Would definitely recommend a week stay here!

Ozzie Webb said someone took an air-conditioning unit from behind a house for sale on Brown Avenue.
This was the second report in a matter of a few days concerning items such as air units being stolen at homes for sale.
According to a report filed by deputy Cru Ross, who began an investigation for Webb, the theft may have occurred during the past two months. Someone had reportedly been inside the house.
Criminal Investigations Division detectives responded to the scene to collect evidence.
No dollar amount was listed regarding the loss or damage.
n Cleveland Police made an arrest based on an investigation regarding a caretaker who allegedly stole property from a resident. Janet Combs was charged with two counts of theft over $1,000 and was taken into custody after investigators reportedly contacted her and began questioning her about the disappearance of pieces of a silver dinnerware set owned by the victim.
According to CPD information officer Evie West, the victim stated approximately $2,000 in silver had been taken and she suspected an employee of Medi-Home Care had taken it.
Combs was identified as a suspect. She returned to the residence to clean again, but the homeowner had counted her silverware prior to her arrival.
West said that when Combs left, the victim counted her silver items and noticed pieces missing.
Detectives contacted Combs and she agreed to talk with them, according to West.
"During the meeting, she did give the silver items she had stolen and stated that she had stolen other items as well. She also admitted to stealing a golden pendant from Jack Dooley while she had cleaned at his residence on March 26. Dooley reported the value of the pendant at $1,000. Combs stated she had sold the items to a gold dealer to get money to help out her son, who was having a difficult time," West said.
Combs was charged with the theft at the Bradley County Jail and released after posting $10,000 bond.

Encoded by Apex Data Services
The Hancocks Church records (1844-1867) consist of conference minutes which record the changes in moderator/pastor and church clerk; membership in the Neuse, Union, and later the Pamlico associations; the number of members received and/or baptized; and members lost through dismission or exclusion. In 1854, a smallpox epidemic was the cause of lack of attendance at meetings. In that same year, one member forged notes held by other church members. Statistics for the years 1852 and 1867 give members names. Separate lists were kept for men and women, white and colored.
In 1881, the Antioch Church, a missionary church, was formed three miles south of the eventual location of Winterville, N.C., after a split in the Hancocks Church. Antioch joined the Atlantic Association (later the Neuse-Atlantic Association) in Morehead City, N. C., and subscribed to the various mission funds and to ministerial education.
Statistics are often noted prior to the association meeting after 1885. Delegates and alternates were named each year to attend the association meeting and in 1894, they petitioned the railroad to stop in Antioch to pick up members on their way to the meeting. In 1897, the church constitution was revised and copies of the Baptist church manual were purchased for members. As the membership increased, these basic statistics became financial reports making note of church expenses, salaries, property value, pledges to various funds including donations to orphans in Farmville (1889-1906) and students at Wake Forest (1891), and charity to church members in need (1918) as well as donations to the new Winterville High School to help reduce their debt (1906). A new church building was completed in 1893. The church moved to a new building in Winterville in 1907 and changed its name to the Winterville Baptist Church. A new roof was needed in 1921 and by 1923, the membership had begun to look for a house for the pastor.
Members occasionally strayed, returned, were forgiven, and accepted back into the church. In 1892, however, one woman was excluded for having an illegitimate child and in 1893, a man was excluded for intemperance and profanity.

« February 2014 Table of Contents
Just as January's Polar Vortex gave Americans a new perspective on what it means to be cold, the continuing shortened supply of, and steady demand for, Atlantic sea scallops has made prices from a year or two ago seem like a bargain.
"Prices are through the roof," says Mike DiNino, scallop buyer for Fortune Fish & Gourmet in Bensenville, Ill. Over the 12 years that DiNino has been dealing in scallops, he says current prices are the highest he's seen because of limited supply and consistent demand.
"For 10-plus years there's been a gradual increase in price, but also more demand as our business has grown," he says. DiNino attributes the high prices to a trio of factors: increased use of scallops during the holiday season, reduced quotas, and the cold weather that impacted both fishermen and the transportation of product nationwide.
"Weather was a huge factor in January," he says, because airlines weren't flying and trucks were held up because of snow and ice-covered roads. "We were able to get product, but it wasn't easy."
There was a drop in the scallop catch between September and December last year, says Sean Moriarty, product manager-sea scallops for American Pride Seafood in New Bedford, Mass., that also tightened supply. "My best guess is that 70 percent of the fishing was done in the first six months and we'll see fairly light landings for the next few months."
Overall, he says, there has been a 33 percent reduction in the harvest this year combined with a 20 percent increase in price. The limited access scallop-sub total allowable catch (TAC) for March 2013 to Feb. 2014 is just over 42 million pounds.
Prices in early January were around $17 a pound for U12s, he says, and $15 for 10-20s. Just two years ago, prices were in the $10 to $11 per-pound range and that was nearly 50 percent higher than historic levels at the time.
The Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) in December certified the Atlantic sea scallop fishery as sustainable and well managed. Under this certification, the 14 member companies of the American Scallop Association (ASA) are allowed to display the MSC eco-label on their catch.
While the ASA hailed the certification as a validation of the industry's efforts to go from "oblivion to prosperity," not everyone supported the move.
The Maine Coast Fishermen's Association (MCFA) and scalloper Togue Brawn of Maine Dayboat Scallops objected to the certification, citing threats to the Gulf of Maine scallop fishery under exemptions granted to limited access permit holders.
Ben Martens, executive director of MCFA, says the focus should be on preventing overfishing of the northern Gulf of Maine, which has a TAC of just 70,000 pounds of scallops.
The certification process was focused on all scallops in New England, says Martens, but didn't take into consideration the TAC and trip limits for the Gulf of Maine.
"We want to see the Gulf of Maine resource rebuilt," he says, and more data gathered. "We need better science to show what is out there."
Before granting certification, Martens says the hope was that MSC would put pressure on the New England Fishery Management Council to address inconsistencies in the management of the fishery as Brawn presented to the council in September.
While some customers, such as high-end restaurants, will take scallops no matter the price, Moriarty says there has been some softening in demand among casual-dining establishments.
Scallop menuing data from Datassential, a menu research firm in Chicago, backs that up: Among U.S. chain and independent restaurants in the QSR, midscale, casual- and fine-dining segments, scallops had a 31.3 percent penetration rate in 2013, behind shrimp and crab. That was down, however, from 2009, when the figure for all restaurant segments was 34.4 percent.
Scallop utilization is most prevalent in fine-dining establishments, according to Datassential, with scallops appearing on menus 69.4 percent of the time in 2013, though this was also down from 2009, when the bivalves were on 76.3 percent of menus.
The data shows that scallops are also a regional favorite, appearing on more Northeastern restaurant menus than elsewhere (38.5 percent) and are also more likely to be used by independent restaurants than regional or chain operators.
Fortune's DiNino says more casual-dining establishments may be opting for imported bay scallops or trading down from U10s to smaller sizes.
Meanwhile, Jeff Duffin, VP-marketing for Clearwater Seafoods in Bedford, Nova Scotia, Canada, says Clearwater sees "large opportunities for scallops within the retail value-added seafood category."
Based on scallops' popularity on menus, he says, "Scallop value-added products give consumers convenient and user-friendly ways to recreate the restaurant experience at home."
The company's involvement in the value-added segment includes bacon-wrapped sea scallops and three flavors of scallops and sauce.
The appetizer and entrée-style options, he says, "provide an alternative protein option for variety-seeking, time-pressed consumers." Clearwater regularly launches new products, he notes, working alongside both retail and foodservice partners to develop products that fit their customers' needs.
While there is no easy substitute for scallops as there can be within the whitefish category, Moriarty says lobster, which has gone through some periods lately when prices were cheaper, may be used as a replacement.
When scallops were a "great value" 10 years ago, he says, they found a niche. "But now we're coming to a point where the market has to figure out what it wants.
"It could be an interesting dynamic," Moriarty says, "if customers turn away from scallops and then the quotas go back up."
A rebound in the harvest is possible in 2015, but until then "we have another tough year ahead," he says.

This Corvette question comes from Jo Ann who inherited a 1981 Corvette.
I am inheriting my brother's 1981 Corvette and it has been sitting in the driveway for over 5 years. It needs a lot of body work and a new passenger seat. The tires are slightly flat and are probably dry-rotted. We have not tried to start it up yet. Before we do, what advice can you give me before we try to start it up?
This is one of the most commonly asked questions in the restoration hobby. The real answer depends on your intentions for the Corvette. However, whether you are looking to make it a nice driver or a show winner, these initial steps will help you start the car and determine what you have to work with. All of this assumes the Corvette wasn't parked for some serious motor issue, if you are unsure follow these steps until you hit a snag or need additional help.
We would begin by removing all of the spark plugs (remember to mark the wires so you get the firing order correct later) and pouring a table spoon or so of Marvel Mystery oil, motor oil, PB Blaster or any penetrent into each cylinder through the plug holes. Let this sit for a couple of days before you begin to rotate the motor.
Before reinstalling the plugs, try and spin the motor over by hand. If the motor does not turn by hand, remove the V-belts to check for a frozen accessory (Power Steering pump, AC Compressor etc.). If it still doesn't turn over you may have a serious internal issue requiring professional help. If it does spin freely, replace the battery and try using the key to engage the starter to turn over the motor. If this works, great; if not then you need to begin diagnosing the Corvette's starter system. For the purposes of this article we'll assume the starter motor works. At this point you could reinstall the plugs or you could perform a compression check, which we recommend. Again, if the compression check reveals nothing out of the ordinary, proceed as follows. If not, more diagnosing is in order to determine what the problem is.
Before trying to start the engine, change the motor oil and filter, check that the throttle works properly (from the pedal to the carburetor, all of it, you don't want to start a car and immediately rev it to the moon). You can check that there is coolant in the radiator, but plan on replacing it in the very near future. For now we are focusing on the start-up, once we get past that then draining and changing the coolant and checking the condition of the hoses and radiator will be a priority. If it turns out there are problems with the motor there is no need to spend money on these items now.
We would disconnect and block off the fuel line from the tank to the fuel pump, at the pump. Whatever is in the tank is not worth pumping through the car and into the carburetor. An old lawn mower gas can, rigged and hung from a coat hanger and piped directly to the carburetor will work just fine for now. Gravity pressure is more than sufficient. Be Careful and have a fire extinguisher ready. If you are not confident in this then you may need to consult a professional.
Go ahead and install a new set of spark plugs, and reconnect the spark plug wires in the correct order. At this point you are ready to try and start the engine. Get a fire extinguisher ready. If everything is in order when you turn the key you will be greeted by the sounds and smells of an American V8 burning off years of debris and waking from its slumber. Be prepared for a lot of exhaust smoke from the oil you poured in a few days ago, this is normal. If you have not addressed the cooling system do not let the motor run for more than 10-20 seconds without turning it off and letting it cool down for 15-20 minutes. You could even add water now and see what leaks develop. Make a note of these leaks, as they will be addressed in the future.
On the other hand the car may not start, at which point further investigation is in order. You will need to check the ignition system for spark at the plugs, and make sure the distributor is timed properly. Again, you need to be careful, and possibly enlist the help of a friend or neighbor with the knowledge if you are in doubt. If the ignition checks out but the car still does not run then you may need to check, rebuild or replace your Corvette's carburetor. Again, seek local help if in doubt.
At this point you could move in many different directions to get this Corvette back on the road and driving. Some folks would pull the entire car apart and do a complete restoration. Most people tend to perform what could be termed a "rolling restoration" wherein you go through the individual systems (Brakes, Suspension, Steering, Fuel, Cooling, Electrical, Exhaust etc.) on the car and in a logical order. Safety items first (brakes, steering, tires, fuel system) then drive-ability and reliability (suspension, exhaust, electrical, vacuum hoses, engine cooling) and lastly cosmetics and body work (interior, stereo, paint, wheels, accessories). Of course there will be many times where it is better to combine a couple more of these systems and jobs together to save time. How you go about it is up to you, though there has been plenty written and we do offer numerous Corvette Restoration Books and Manuals which will be invaluable along the way.
Before using the car regularly you should think seriously about replacing the tires, you should bleed the brakes until the fluid is clean, drain and change the fuel and change the fuel filter, check the transmission and differential fluids, make sure there are no overheating issues, and generally keep an eye on things, taking notes of weird noises, feelings, smells, and so on.
Good luck to you all, bringing a Corvette back to life can be a very satisfying and somewhat addictive endeavor. It can also be fraught with pitfalls and frustration. Remember that there is no pleasure without effort.

I enjoy searching for family information. Most of my immediate ancestors are from McCracken and Marshall County Kentucky. With the surnames of Vannerson, Beyer, McCain and Bailey.
I give of my time and resources because I love being able to help others find a missing piece of their family. I also love the format that Find A Grave provides. A FREE resource for family members to aid in their research and the ability to leave a message in memory of them.
The majority of the memorials I've added are not my family. When I went to a cemetery to fulfill a photo request I would often find many stones in the area with the same family name on them. I would photograph and post those as well if a memorial was not already made. It is my hope that it would help family members locate lost family members or aid in their research.
I became frustrated with a very large cemetery who would charge $5.00 per name to look up a burial plot. Thinking this was wrong and it should free to the public, I along with my husband set forth on a mission to document every grave in that cemetery and then turn my spreadsheets over to the historical society. He and I have spent weeks on this major project.
I will gladly transfer any of my memorials so they may be maintained by family members. I am honored to have had the opportunity to photograph and/or document a piece of family history for you and for future generations.
I have photographs for almost every memorial that I have created for Valhalla Cemetery and many, many more. We are talking thousands. I will be posting these throughout the spring and summer. Due to the large amount of photos I am posting them by sections and perhaps can fulfill some requests as I come across them. If you have made memorials for that cemetery please be aware that you may see an increase in family links and edits.
Update* I am in the middle of settling my parents estate at this time and will not be accepting requests for photos. However I will still be doing updates and transfers. Please allow 1-2 weeks as I will not be checking in as often as in the past. I should be completed with the estate by January. Thank you.

Chambers photos
Hi Shirley,
I was wondering if you would be so kind as to add the photos you added to William Sherman Chambers (123703619) and Ella Norman Chambers (123703576) to the memorials I created? They are: William Sherman Chambers (102407093) and Ella Norman Chambers (102407220). I would be so honored to have your photos on those memorials. I received a message from another Find-a-Grave member stating these photos were posted. My memorials were created in 2012 and the memorials with the photos were created in 2014. I'm not going to ask the duplicate memorials to be removed (I think we are all old enough to police our own actions), but I would love to have your photos grace my memorials.
Thank you so much,

Hi, You originally created the page for my uncle, Find A Grave Memorial# 80772548. The woman who sent me the obits said she would take the photo of the headstone after we had it set. It is there now. Would you let me know if you were the person who volunteered to take the photo. If not, I'll send it thru the regular channels. Thanks.

RE: William Crites
Thank you for the transfer. I sent you a note, after the first request, to tell you that this memorial was a duplicate of mine (#92121678).
I do have family's permission to add the obit, but I would like your permission to add your tombstone photo to my first memorial.
Since this memorial is a duplicate, I will need to delete it. I know it's not proper to delete a transferred memorial, but in this case feel it is necessary.
His wife, Marie's, memorial is also a duplicate of mine.
I will wait to hear back from you, before I add your tombstone photo to my memorial.
Thank you for this consideration!

I just did another BEAP offer that Lisa responded to and everything was as smooth as would be expected from her. Fast mailing of her bubble envelope, let me know when she got the seeds. Glad to send her seeds and do trades with her any time. below is a link to the R&R under her old name p-piper Fran |

Just finish a very good trade with Lisa:)everything was well label,secure and lots of extras!!!Thank you Lisa. |
I just finished my second trade with SubruralGirl. Great packing, fast shipping. I would recommend trading with her to anyone. |
So far I see only positive ratings for Subruralgirl, so i very reluctatnly write this rating. I sent my end of the agreed trade almost two months ago. Over this time, I sent her several emails to send her end of the trade. Each time, she replied with some explanation why she did not untill no further response from her. So, I would say, she has no intention of keeping her end of the trade. Two monu=ths is long enough time. |

Regional News Article
Mount Stewart Reserve in Taihape is one step closer to being restored to its former glory. Mt Stewart is located on the outskirts of Taihape Township and is a refuge for rare divaricate plants and contains some good stands of Kahikitea, Totara and Rimu. The Rangitikei Environment Group and Friends of Mt Stewart along with help from Taihape College students and many others from the community have been working together to control animal and plant pests in the reserve. The reserve has now been cleared of the majority of Old Mans Beard and other weeds including some large stands of Sycamores. Group members with skills in tree felling have cut down the sycamores and locals have carted the wood away for firewood. Sycamores are one of the worst weeds in the Reserve after Old Mans Beard and group members have experimented with various control methods. It is hoped that the knowledge gained can be used to help other groups who are also dealing with this weed in the area. Possums had overrun the reserve but are now being controlled by trapping and bait stations and the benefits of this control can already be seen in the native vegetation. Taihape College students have fenced off an area of the reserve as part of their agricultural studies and have propagated native trees for planting on Mt Stewart, from seeds sourced in the local area. On the 15th of September students from Taihape College along with volunteers from the Friends of Mt Stewart, Rangitikei Environment Group, Forest and Bird and the community, planted the area fenced off by the students with native plants. This planting is the first stage in a project that will eventually see Mt Stewart completely revegetated with natives that used to be abundant within the reserve. The planting day was very successful with trees supplied by the students of Taihape College, Friends of Mt Stewart and members of the public. This was an opportunity for Taihape College students to learn about their natural environment and to gain hands on experience by participating in such an important project. Weedbusters signs are being erected to inform the public of what is happening in the Mt Stewart Reserve. The Rangitikei Environment Group would like to join with the Friends of Mt Stewart in thanking all those people and organizations that have contributed to this worthwhile project so far.

CANTALAMESSA-CATECHISM Dec-7-2012 (430 words) xxxi
Salvation must be proclaimed, faith explained, papal preacher says
By Cindy Wooden
Catholic News Service
VATICAN CITY (CNS) -- The Catholic Church has great resources and experience in helping the baptized learn about and live their faith, but it also can learn something from other Christians about the initial step of bringing people to faith in Jesus, said the preacher of the papal household.
"Our situation is becoming more and more similar to that of the Apostles," who preached God's love and salvation in Christ to people who had never heard of Jesus, said Capuchin Father Raniero Cantalamessa.
As preacher of the papal household, Father Cantalamessa began leading a series of weekly Advent reflections Dec. 7 for Pope Benedict XVI and top Vatican officials. The Friday morning sessions are held in the Redemptoris Mater Chapel of the Apostolic Palace.
"The strength of several non-Catholic churches is their emphasis on the initial moment of coming to faith," telling people about Jesus and helping them recognize him as Lord and savior, Father Cantalamessa said. But faith is stunted if everything in a Christian's life "continues to revolve around that initial moment."
The Catholic Church, he said, has done a better job at recognizing that professing faith in Jesus is "just the beginning, not the end, of the Christian life."
Especially during the Year of Faith, the preacher said, the Catechism of the Catholic Church is a valuable tool for helping people learn more about the faith they were baptized into and about the kind of life they are called to live as a result.
The purpose of the catechism, he said, is "to give shape to the faith, to give it content and to show its ethical and practical demands."
Still, he said, it is not enough to be informed about Jesus and about the teaching of the church.
St. John the Evangelist writes of "knowing and believing" in God's love and in Christ as savior, Father Cantalamessa told the pope and Vatican officials.
"'Knowing' in this case, as in general throughout the whole of Scripture, does not mean what it means for us today: having an idea or concept about something," he said. Rather, "it means experiencing it, entering into relationship with the thing or the person. The Virgin's statement, 'I do not know man,' certainly didn't mean 'I don't know what a man is.'"
The Holy Spirit makes it possible for people to have that experience of God's love and offer of salvation, he said, but they also need to hear the Gospel preached and to be supported by the sacraments, the teaching of the church and the witness of holy men and women.

We're looking for some thoughts/pictures, suggestions of kitchen islands with legs and corbels.
The cabinets are being built by our contractor. The design is to include a 7'x2' island with a 10 inch overhang with furniture legs on overhang. I've seen alot of debate on the forum about islands. We're OK with the size of the island and overhang based on the way was house is laid out.Island will contain microwave drawer, prep sink and pull out trash. My husband is not keen on the legs (feels they're hard to clean around, limit seating/access and pose a tripping hazard)due to space of pathway between one end of the island and basement door. We are thinking of corbels instead. Told designers this. Designers feel legs make island look more like a piece of furniture, since it is seen from family room and living room and corbels are just "ordinary". We appreciate any help you can give. We are about in the middle of our kitchen/dining/family room/foyer renovation. Oh my-thank you for all the previous posts on remodeling fatigue! |

My, do I remember my struggle over legs, corbels, or naked! I ended up going without a leg or corbel as it suited my kitchen better. I wasn't necessarily looking to make the island look like furniture. The room is visible from the front door, family room, and living room. We've been back in the house for about nine months now, and I'm very happy I chose to forgo leg and corbel. I like the maneuvering room without a leg for stools and bodies. A corbel may have given me that feeling also, but didn't fit my style. I'll link my thread from last year with my pros and cons, and those of others here, of various options. Maybe some of the pics and discussions can help you. You didn't mention plans for stools. If you will have stools, you'll only be able to fit three in that 7' anyway with or without legs. One of the biggest ah-ha moments for me on my linked thread was that the stools would always be in front of the island taking up visual space. Only you can decide if the addition of legs makes a big enough impact to warrant inclusion. Good luck! |
Here is a link that might be useful: My thread from last year
Thank you breezygirl for your opinion and your link-your subject title was far more enticing than mine! I had looked for previous posts on the subject and your thread was perfect. I've been looking for photos of islands that have that "leg look" but are part of the island itself. I'm starting to think that I'm just overdoing the island by trying this. The cabinets will be natural cherry. They are a shaker style recessed panel that has a slight mitre where the frame meets the panel. So legs may be unnecessary visual noise and take away from the clean lines of the cabinets. We will have saddle type stools because of the small depth of the overhang. No more than three stools. And as you pointed out, they will provide some visual interest. So I'll tell my DH that someone on GW suggested we should be naked. He'll wonder what I'm up to on this forum! ;-) |
chicgeek, regarding your saddle type stools. Have you bought yours yet? I have a 5-ft. peninsula and decided to get unfinished saddle stools to paint. I love their Asian look and the fact that they fit well under the counter overhang. After an endless wait for the backordered stools to arrive, I painted them red and left them in the garage 30+ to properly cure. When I brought them into my kitchen I was delighted by the color, but two things did not please me. 1) They are 17" wide, and the two of them occupy a lot of the dining room view of my peninsula. I should have thought of this before I ordered them, but it never occurred to me. :p 2) Worse is that the edge of the seat is a rather sharp 90 degrees. I was used to the bullnose effect of the round seat stools and this is like an eased edge, with out the ease. One minute on the stool and I realized I didn't want to sit on it. You may be considering another type of saddle stool. If so, pay me no mind. :) I decided that, as cute and red as these stools are, I'm going back to round-top. A new painting project! |
wow |
Hi Linelle, we haven't purchased our stools yet. We were advised to have saddle stools because of the depth of island overhang. I'll definitely keep the width of the stools in mind. |

I don't think I'd want legs, tho they look nice....more to get nicked up and kicked up and harder to clean around. Enkeboll has enough to keep you going crazy for awhile.... |

Is the 10" overhang on the "long" side of the island? If so, Katieob's new kitchen gives you as sense My favorite inspiration photo had legs for a more "furniture look": |

I have an established Quietness Buck Rose that is doing great and have room for another rose. I was considering Frontier Twirl or Earth Song. Since I dont spray I was wonderig what you would recommend. I live in Cincinnati.

I got Frontier Twirl last season and it bloomed and bloomed. I don't spray either and it was very healthy. But it had major winter damage here (we got down to something like 4 degrees) I had assumed that since it was a Buck rose, it would sail through Winter but I was wrong. It is tiny now but trying to grow back. If it does that same thing next winter I am afraid it is out. |
I don't spray either. I have had many Buck roses die over the winter. Some are definitely hardier than others. This winter Quietness was hardy to the tips. Earthsong dies to the ground and takes a while to come back. I was considering Frontier Twirl but if it has that much problem in zone 7, I don't think it will survive in zone 5a. Prairie Star died over the previous winter. On the other hand, Prairie Breeze is very hardy. Honeysweet dies to the ground but comes back to about 2 feet tall. Distant Drums and Silver Shadows come back but are very small. |
I live in Zone 5 close by Peoria, IL. My experience with 'Earth Song' is that it is fairly tip hardy here if the winter temps don't fall below zero. I didn't have to do much pruning this spring compared to last spring when it got down to -22F for 3 days and I had to prune ES down to the ground. Even then, I find it regrows every quickly into a large shrub. |
Earth Song is healthy here and a tremendous bloomer. It is one of my favorites. It is tip-hardy at 5 degrees, which is our usual winter low. |
That surprises me. I would have thought both would have had hardiness similar to Quietness. In my area die back would vary significantly from year to year. Thanks for the input. David |
- Posted by karl_bapst_rosenut 5a, NW Indiana (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Sun, Apr 25, 10 at 0:16
Hardiness in many cases indicates the rose will grow back if the canes are winter killed. It doesn't necessarily mean the rose is cane hardy. Many Bucks are not cane hardy in really cold climates. Earth Song for me stayed green almost to the tips this past winter. Serendipity and Les Sjulin both died back to just a couple of inches |
Besides Quietness,the only other Buck Rose I've had experience with is Mountain Music. It has cane dieback, but comes back faithfully every year. I do mulch all of my roses with about a foot of leaves. I killed off Silver Shadows right away -- but Quietness has survived a year with no mulch at all and another year of having to be moved late in the growing season. Mountain Music is a continual bloomer -- the only drawback is she is a japanese beetle magnet. They fly right by other roses to devour her -- so I really can't recommend her. |

When I returned to the table, the Mr. informed me that small plates were only $5 and, if I remember correctly, certain wine selections were $5 as well. We ordered 4 of their small plates and two glasses of red wine. Our waiter was courteous, but to the point. He didn't ask us our life story or try to win us with his personality, but he did his job - which I appreciated. I am not much of a talker so it was nice. He was all about the food. He explained exactly what we would be served and how it would be prepared. I honestly don't remember everything we ordered but I remember shrimp and grits and pork belly. I devoured everything he brought to our table. One glass of wine was perfect for the amount of food we ordered and we walked out of there having spent under $40.
Absolutely no complaints about this place. I can't wait to go back.
