Had an inch of water in the finished basement for a few days (we were away). It receded on its own, and when we got home, we removed the carpet and pad. When the cement floor dried, we used a 1/2 bleach 1/2 water mix on it. Smell is much less now 2 1/2 weeks out, but it still smells. Been running a dehumidifier, but it no longer is unusually damp down there, just a normal basement. Ventillation is very weak down there, the windows barely crack for security reasons, so the door at the top of the stairs is really the only meaningful ventillation.
Had some modest mold on the baseboards and sheet rock (water stains up to 8 inches on sheetrock) but a little bleach/water fixed that. I dont know if I have a problem inside the walls, but surely that wouldnt be the cause of the smell? What should we do? |
Follow-Up Postings:
The sheetrock got wet, as did any insulation behind it along with the wood framing. When our finished basement flooded, we cut out the bottom couple feet of sheetrock and insulation (above the water line) ran industrial dehumidifiers and a few weeks later we rebuilt. |

Mitt Romney went to the NAACP and got booed. Black conservative Zo isn't surprised, but what does surprise him is the liberal media sensationalizing intolerance. Hear more as he exposes the racial division promoted by the mainstream media.
This guy makes sense. However, most black leaders will call him "Uncle Tom" or worse. Why does it have to be about skin color at all, unless those who are determined to be provided for by the government want to keep it an exclusive "black" thing.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Ellie May!
Facts about Ellie May
- Breed: American Pit Bull Terrier/Boxer Mix
- Color: Brindle - With White
- Age: Young
- Size: Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
- Sex: Female
Ellie May's Info...
I am already spayed, housetrained, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and not good with cats.
Hi there! My name is Ellie May and I'm a high-energy Boxer-mix, so the couch potato life is not for me. I love to run and jump and play! One of my foster moms used to ride her bike and let me run alongside her. It was so much fun!
I am great at listening, but I need a strong leader. I'm so eager to play I get distracted, so I really need to know someone is in charge. I like other dogs ok, but I really love the idea of being with my human as the special dog of the house.
I don't need to be crated if I'm the only dog in the house. I'm not some silly puppy, I'm 3-4 years old and I know things! (And I don't chew-up stuff.) I know how to sit, shake, lie down, and I'm getting really good at stay, but I've heard there are classes where a dog can learn even more. I'd love to go school! I have one quirk though: thunderstorms scare me. I just can't help it, and when the thunder booms, you'll find me under the nearest bed or table that is closest to you. All-in-all I'm very spunky and cheerful, so if you are too I hope you'll come and meet me! I am being fostered by Amy and Kirby in Jacksonville, FL.

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Ellie May, a Albany American Pit Bull Terrier/Boxer dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a American Pit Bull Terrier/Boxer for sale in Albany, or seeking a American Pit Bull Terrier/Boxer dog from a breeder in Albany.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Albany already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Albany breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even American Pit Bull Terrier/Boxer breeders who help with American Pit Bull Terrier/Boxer rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Albany paves the way for another one to be saved.

By ASHLEY SCOBY
If you asked Patrick Towles, he would say he's the baddest man on the planet. At least, that's the mindset that he takes into his football career, regardless of whether or not he will later be named the starting quarterback of Kentucky's 2013 team.
"To be a quarterback, you need to have the mindset that you're the baddest person on the face of the earth or else you're not going to win any games," he said. "You have to develop that kind of mojo that everybody's out to get to you but that it doesn't even matter. You're going to go out there and you're going to beat them, and you're going to beat them bad."
Towles is, of course, in a three-man race to be the starting quarterback, competing against Jalen Whitlow and Max Smith. He will be the first to admit that he was not the best out of those three in the spring game. Traditionally, Towles says, he has not performed up to par in spring practice.
In the spring game, Towles was 6-for-14 for 65 yards, a touchdown and an interception. For comparison, Whitlow was 17-for-28 for 193 yards and two touchdowns, while Smith was 11-for-18 for 108 yards and one touchdown.
That performance, however, taught Towles what he needed to fix, and that's exactly what he set out to do this summer. Working on his lower body mechanics was high on the list. But simply getting in better shape also was a priority. Towels has lost "15 or 16 pounds" thanks to Erik Korem's high performance program.
"If you build a new program, you have to start from the bottom up. You've got to develop that foundation and I think the high performance program is that foundation," Towles said. "Coach Korem has said we should be the most fit team in the SEC. There's no reason why we shouldn't have the best fitness because it doesn't take talent to be in good shape."
Being in great shape is only part of the equation to being a starting quarterback in the SEC. Another part is mental – striking out the complacency that affects any athlete who has succeeded at a high level, as Towles did in high school. He won three straight state championships as the starter for Highlands High School and was named the Gatorade Player of the Year in Kentucky after his senior season.
But none of that is on his mind as he battles for position in Lexington.
"The true competitors – the Peyton Mannings, the Tom Bradys – they have minimal complacency, if any," he said. "As a true competitor, you've got to always have that constant drive to get better and never be satisfied or else you're going to eventually get passed up."
Even with that mindset, was Towles expecting to be in a three-man quarterback race once he came to Kentucky, or did he bank on being the starter?
"You always want to assume the best is going to happen," he said. "When the best doesn't happen, you've got to adapt to that. I think I came in and there was a little adversity, but you've got to get through that and you've got to get back to what has made you successful … You've got to go back to the ground up and just put your head down and work hard because that's eventually going to take you somewhere."
That hard work has been evident by Towles' changed physique, but results on the practice field will show Stoops and offensive coordinator Neal Brown who deserves the job. If, in fact, it turns out to be Whitlow or Smith, running UK's first series against Western Kentucky on Aug. 31, Towles says he hopes to be the "greatest backup quarterback to ever play the game."
Until that decision is made, it's just time to finally get on the practice field and do work.
"I'm in the best shape of my life. I'm ready to go," Towles said. "There's a lot of talk … but I'm just ready to get back to playing football."

In "Amazing Grace," a Tapestry of Faith program
Point out the Alexander Pope quotation you have written on newsprint. "To err is human, to forgive divine." Ask your youth what they think of it. Have they heard it before? Do they agree with it? What does "err" mean? Could you replace it with something else, such as "make mistakes," or the religious word "sin"? What does "divine" mean? (It is related to "deity," which means a god. One definition of "divine" is "godlike"; another is "heavenly.")
Ask participants to apply the quote to their own lives. When somebody forgives them, is that somebody acting like a god? Do they themselves feel godlike when they forgive somebody else? Or is forgiving just a good, human thing to do? Can the youth think of a way to rewrite the Golden Rule using the word "forgive"? (See Session 4, Activity 4. One possible revision is: "Forgive other people the way you would want them to forgive you in the same situation.")
Ask participants if they ever have had to forgive themselves for doing something wrong. If forgiving other people is divine, what about forgiving yourself; is that divine, too?

Lullabye Time: My Heavenly Mother Loves Me
Ever since my children started to be born over 8 years ago, I have gone through fits and starts of singing to them each night before they go to bed. Lately, I haven't been singing as much, and I made a conscious effort to start up again.
I remember when I first had my feminist awakening, and my now-8-year-old was only 3-years-old. I chose some songs from the Children's Songbook that I still agreed with and liked, and at the top of the list was always the song I remembered as being called "Whenever I Hear the Song of a Bird".

In the spring, both high school choirs, soloists, CCS ensemble groups and instrumentalists participate in TAPPS Competitions (District, Regional and State). In addition, the Music Department hosts a Spring Concert, featuring all of the music from the TAPPS Competition.

Portal Webcam: Now You're Teleconferencing with Science
This is how the New England office (blue) of Dealer.com is connected to the company's California office (orange). Either that, or this is actually a shot of Aperture Science Laboratories, with webcams included as props to throw us off.
If you think about it, webcams already accomplish 50% of a portal's job. They let two parties peer into each other's space as if they were in front of each other regardless of the actual distance between them. The other half is mostly just lighting, and that bit about actually being able to walk through the portal.

Grantee: Ontario County Soil and Water Conservation District Basin Program Funds: $12,000 Non-federal Funds: $6,000 Project Duration: 06/1998 - 06/1999 Status: complete
Problem Statement Public information surveys indicate that there is considerable concern about water quality in the Honeoye Lake watershed. Despite this concern, the level of watershed and water quality knowledge is minimal. The Ontario County Soil and Water Conservation District proposed developing a comprehensive publication for the watershed to be used as an educational guide to protect the watershed's natural resources. The book promotes landowner commitment to specific soil erosion and sedimentation reduction actions.
Background The Honeoye Lake Watershed Management Committee formed as a result of a public survey carried out by a local college. The survey indicated concern among the public about water quality issues related to recreation, such as sedimentation and aquatic vegetation control. Despite concern about these issues, the level of watershed and water quality knowledge was minimal. Most respondents suggested short-term solutions to the problems, such as dredging or weed harvesting. The management committee intends to develop a watershed plan, however, the lack of a strong public understanding of the intricacies of these issues could inhibit the success of a plan.
Given strong community concern about water quality issues in the Honeoye Lake watershed and public interest in learning more about them, the conservation district proposed developing an education strategy to raise public awareness. The primary focus of the strategy will be a book outlining the impact of human actions on water quality issues and provide information on issues such as water supply, testing and treatment, drainage and runoff, household chemicals, private septic tanks and shoreline development.
Activities The conservation district recruited a sub-committee of the Honeoye Lake Watershed Task Force to develop an outline and contents for the Honeoye Lake Book. Technical members of the Task Force reviewed the data and research while other members of the team sorted graphics, digitized maps, illustrations and photographs for the publication. The final product, 1,000 copies of the Honoeye Lake Book was completed on June 30, 1999.
Much of the information developed for the Honeoye Lake Book was also presented in fact sheet form and used at conferences, forums and local meetings. The fact sheets were also distributed throughout the watershed.
The process of developing the book enhanced public awareness about water quality impacts even before the final product was available. The project also involved the collaborative efforts of a diverse range of stakeholders within the watershed. In the process, it created a number of new and healthy working relationships that will be required for future projects. All the involved Task Force members have gained a strong working knowledge of water quality issues from their work and interpretation of the data.
Results The Honeoye Lake Watershed Public Awareness and Education Project has produced positive results. Over 1,000 residents of the watershed received copies of the Honeoye Lake Book. Public interest generated by this process has made possible several workshops on shoreline concerns through a recent Protected Shores grant. Five of the six watershed townships support the watershed management process and have contributed funds to a tributary sampling and monitoring program and other research projects. In addition, existing ordinances are being reviewed by the Honeoye Lake Watershed Trust and new models drafted addressing stormwater management, septic systems and logging controls. These models will be offered to watershed municipalities for approval and adoption. The conservation district anticipates ongoing educational opportunities including workshops on forestry and additional public meetings.

Being Sidney Crosby
by Paul on 01/26/15 at 08:52 AM ET
Comments (2)
from Rob Rossi of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review,
COLUMBUS, Ohio- Sidney Crosby's first decade in the NHL is almost over. And here is what he needs to know: Being Sidney Crosby isn't his job anymore.
Just being Sidney is all any of us should ask of "The Next One" who became "The One."
Being Sidney Crosby meant breathing life into hockey after the NHL attempted to suffocate the game at its highest level. Being Sidney Crosby meant resuscitating a Penguins franchise that was on life support while calling a decaying Igloo home.
As Crosby became the world's finest player, Being Sidney Crosby came to mean raising the NHL and Penguins from their respective deathbeds. Either feat should have exhausted Crosby. Both tasks were too much to ask of any "Kid."
Now a man at 27, Crosby can take the deep breath he is long overdue. His Penguins are perennial contenders. More importantly, they're financially sound, with 360 consecutive home sellouts and supreme regional TV ratings. His league is thriving, topping $4 billion in revenue, and working peacefully with its players' union to finally bring promise of tangible growth.
Being Sidney Crosby wasn't necessary here this weekend.

McKenzie educates us about mumps; give the media booster shots, NHL!
by George Malik on 12/16/14 at 12:01 AM ET
Comments (0)
Because TSN doesn't give us nearly enough Bob McKenzie thanks to the NHL's new TV deal with both Sportsnet and McKenzie's TSN = a whole hell of a lot of geo-blocking videos, here's 2:35 of McKenzie talking about the NHL's mumps outbreak with NBCSN's Kathryn Tappen (via Pro Hockey Talk's Dhiren Mahibian).
McKenzie explains that Sidney Crosby had already suffered damage to his salivatory gland thanks to a scrap with Riley Nash, so that was the reason that the Penguins allowed him to meet with the media--and he does a superb job of explaining why childhood immunizations aren't 100% effective:
Other good backgrounders: ESPN's Katie Strang and Yahoo Sports' Greg Wyshynski.
My hope is that the NHL's teams, which are finally providing booster shots to players, coaches and team personnel (from a Wings perspective, it was fascinating to hear Mike Babcock's lecture on the subject because he revealed that many European players don't get the mumps-measles-ruebella vaccine) will be fitting the bill for booster shots for the media.
Working with NHL players = understanding that you're going into an environment in which massive amounts of physical activity, sweaty equipment, heavy travel schedules and workloads for everybody and everyone bringing in the germs of any school-age kids to a giant petri dish of handshakes, coughing, spitting, sweating and talking in close proximity...
But the fact that this virus can be passed on while people aren't displaying symptoms + vaccine success rates in the 85% range = there's significant risk for not only the NHL's family, but also the families of the people who cover the team. Prophylactic immunization of all adults interacting regardless of employer makes the most sense here in terms of nipping this damn thing in the bud.

Sidney Crosby Will Miss The Next Two Games
by Paul on 12/12/14 at 04:03 PM ET
Comments (14)
via the Pittsburgh Penguins,
Sidney Crosby will be held out of the Pittsburgh Penguins' next two games as a precautionary measure, Penguins general manager Jim Rutherford said today.
Crosby has not been feeling well. Medical specialists made the recommendation after further test results came back today.
"There is no indication at this time that this is the mumps, but we are going to hold him out as a precaution," Rutherford said. "We'll have additional test results in a few days."
The Penguins host Calgary tonight and play at Columbus Saturday.
A number of NHL players have been diagnosed with mumps in recent weeks.

The Hockey Savior

from Cathal Kelly of the Globe and Mail,
We tend to forget that Sidney Crosby saved hockey.
That was the narrative pinned to him as he was drafted nearly a decade ago. The NHL had just lost the 2004-05 season. People were throwing around words like "beleaguered" and "troubled" in connection with the sport.
Though it didn't turn out this way, everyone assumed hockey was going to take a post-lockout, baseball-style nosedive in popularity.
n the midst of all that angst and expectation, Crosby floated into our lives. He's been there 10 years. It feels like 30. Crosby has risen to the highest conceptual plane any pro can reach – he's become a means by which we measure time in our own lives.
He's still only 27. But as Crosby begins to take on the lean look of athletic middle age, we're reminded just how much older we've become since he arrived.

All Sidney Crosby

from Mike Zeisberger of the Toronto Sun,
With the Penguins coming into Toronto to face the Leafs on Saturday, the Sun sat down with Crosby for a one-on-one looking back — and ahead — on his prestigious career. Without further ado, we present the fourth edition of Sidney Crosby: Unplugged.
First off, are we to assume that your healing wrist is fine after your three-point night against Anaheim on Thursday?
"I feel great. Healthy. Ready to go."
You've taken a pretty good pounding in the first nine seasons of your career, including concussions. There actually have been claims that, even as you approach the prime of your career, your body is breaking down. How do you address those allegations?
"I don't know. It's not really up to me, I'm going to try to play the same way. I don't know how you avoid that. I mean, you want to play in the Olympics. You want to play in the playoffs. And everything that goes with it. So, I'd much rather be harder on my body and competing than being on the outside looking in watching in April. If that's a tradeoff, then I'll take it."
You've taken a physical beating during the playoffs, a time when opposing teams seem to target you even more than normal. How do you deal with that?
"I don't think you are going to avoid that. I think that's just the nature of it. It's a different game, the playoffs. They don't seem to call those games the same as they do in the regular season. You just have to deal with it, find ways to get through it and find ways to create. It's team toughness. It's picking your spots. It's sticking together. There's really no set rule....

Pressure On Crosby And Ovechkin
by Paul on 10/08/14 at 09:25 AM ET
Comments (0)
from Scott Burnside of ESPN,
They came into the league out of the ashes of a soul-sucking lockout that scuttled an entire season and got the kind of fanfare that precedes players maybe once in a generation.
They were asked to do nothing less than restore hope and guide the NHL into a new future, a new golden age of hockey.
So on many levels, it's hard to argue that Sidney Crosby and Alex Ovechkin haven't delivered on those demands in spades, time and time again.
"They're still the face of the league. For sure they are," said one longtime NHL player who has worked at a number of positions with a number of teams around the league.
Between them, Crosby and Ovechkin have collected five Hart Trophies and six Ted Lindsay Awards as the players' MVP in the past eight seasons. And then there's Crosby's Stanley Cup ring and two Olympic gold medals.
"That's not going away," the source said of the two players' accomplishments, regardless of whatever issues assail their respective franchises.

The Changes In Pittsburgh
by Paul on 09/11/14 at 05:41 AM ET
Comments (0)
from Dave Molinari of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette,
While Crosby didn't necessarily anticipate an offseason quite as chaotic as the one the Penguins experienced this summer — when general manager Ray Shero, coach Dan Bylsma and assistant coaches Tony Granato and Todd Reirden were fired and a number of established players left the organization — he figured a fifth consecutive playoff loss to a lower-seeded opponent might have major repercussions.
"I knew, obviously, everyone wasn't pleased with the way things happened," Crosby said after an informal workout Wednesday at Consol Energy Center. "At that point, you don't know what's going to happen and you know there are going to be changes, but to what extent, I didn't really even think about it.
"I knew everyone was going to have to answer for it, so to speak. It's just something you have to deal with when you don't win, and the expectation is [high]. It's never a fun time."
Bylsma has been replaced by Mike Johnston, who will be Crosby's fourth coach in the NHL. He broke in under Eddie Olczyk before playing for Michel Therrien and Bylsma.
His relationship with Johnston is in its embryonic stages, but Crosby seems impressed by the way Johnston has approached his first few months on the job, citing the new coach's "calm demeanor" and the way he has tried to connect with his new players in the offseason....
"Hockey is all the same language once you get on the ice, but I think he wants to get to know guys personally. It was great by him to do that."

Oh boy. Per the QMI News Agency:
Pittsburgh Penguins centre Sidney Crosby was arrested by Ottawa Police late Tuesday while driving a rented Porsche, sources have told QMI Agency.
Reasons of his arrest were unknown, but appear to be driving related.
Sources say Crosby was taken to the Ottawa police headquarters on Elgin street for fingerprinting and a mugshot.
It is unknown at this time why the NHL star was in Ottawa.
Ottawa Police have been unable to be reached for comment.
I hope he's okay and I hope that this isn't what I think it might be.
added 7:57am, via the CP and TSN,
Ottawa police are denying a published report that they arrested NHL superstar Sidney Crosby.
QMI Agency quoted sources as saying the Pittsburgh Penguins captain was arrested late Tuesday while driving a rented Porsche.
The report said the reason for the arrest was unknown but that it appeared to be "driving related."
The Ottawa police duty desk told The Canadian Press: "It never happened."
Ottawa police Chief Charles Bordeleau also tweeted that the police "have had no dealings with Mr. Crosby."
The Penguins also confirmed to TSN that Crosby is in Vail, Colorado training for the start of the season. "Penguins confirm, Crosby is in Vail, Colorado training this week," tweeted TSN Hockey Insider Darren Dreger on Wednesday morning.

Sidney Crosby addresses state of his wrist, Penguins' changes
by George Malik on 08/15/14 at 10:13 PM ET
Comments (0)
Paul and I scratched our heads regarding the Naples News' rather relaxed interview with Sidney Crosby, who was skating at Germain Arena in Esthero, FL (home of the ECHL's Florida Everblades) alongside Nathan MacKinnon, Matt Duchene, John Tavares and Kyle Okposo...But strength and conditioning coach Darryl Belfry's camp was supposed to be hush-hush from the get-go, so protocol ws followed.
The AP made sure to dispatch a correspondent to speak with Crosby before he left Southwestern Florida, however, and Crosby addressed the state of his not-surgically-repaired right wrist (albeit in classic Cliche Crosby mode)...
Pittsburgh Penguins star center Sidney Crosby's right wrist appears to be on the road to recovery. The reigning NHL MVP said Friday he's pleased with the way his wrist has responded to treatment over the summer and is anxious for training camp to begin as the Penguins try to recover from their second-round collapse in the playoffs.
"It's good," Crosby said. "You want to see how things progress throughout the summer once you start skating and get back to that regular routine. You want to see how it reacts so I'm happy with the way it's gone."
And Crosby addressed his team's roster, behind-the-bench and front office changes as well (and the AP reports that David Clarkson also attended the camp):

Rookie of the Year Nathan MacKinnon and Matt Duchene of the Colorado Avalanche, John Tavares and Kyle Okopso of the New York Islanders, and David Clarkson of the Toronto Maple Leafs also have been in town.
The star-studded group of players traveled to Southwest Florida to train with performance coach Darryl Belfry.

Sidney Crosby May Still Have Wrist Surgery
by Paul on 07/16/14 at 07:34 AM ET
Comments (0)
from Dave Molinari of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette,
Sidney Crosby isn't having arthroscopic surgery on his injured right wrist, after all.
Not yet, anyway.
But if the injections he has decided to receive in lieu of an operation don't have the desired effect, Crosby still could undergo surgery before training camp opens in September.
"If this treatment works, you avoid surgery and move on," Pat Brisson, who is Crosby's agent, said Tuesday. "If it doesn't, he will have to go that [surgical] route."
The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, citing a source who requested anonymity, reported last Wednesday that Crosby was going to have surgery on his injured wrist "within the next few days."
Brisson confirmed that, as of July 8, "a couple of doctors [had] recommended the surgery," but said Crosby sought another opinion the next day and received yet another -- this one, from the doctor who suggested the injections -- Monday.

Via a Tweet from the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette's Stephen J. Nesbitt, fellow Post-Gazette scribe Dave Molinari delivers something of a midsummer bombshell regarding the Penguins' marquee attraction:
Sidney Crosby is scheduled to have arthroscopic surgery on his right wrist within the next few days to repair damage that a source said impeded his performance in the postseason.
Despite saying during and after the Stanley Cup playoffs that he was at full health, the Penguins center "did play with a terrible wrist," the source said Tuesday night.
Crosby could not be reached for comment.
An individual close to Crosby, who requested anonymity, said the surgical procedure "is not major, but you can't play the same way" with the kind of injury Crosby had.

From the NHL:
LAS VEGAS (June 24, 2014) -- Center Sidney Crosby of the Pittsburgh Penguins and defenseman Zdeno Chara of the Boston Bruins, who each earned his third career berth on the First All-Star Team, head the list of players voted to the 2013-14 National Hockey League postseason All-Star Teams. Crosby received First Team honors for the second consecutive season, while Chara earned a spot on the First Team for the first time since 2008-09.
Joining Crosby and Chara are two second-time selections to the First Team, right wing Corey Perry of the Anaheim Ducks and defenseman Duncan Keith of the Chicago Blackhawks. The squad also features two first-time recipients, left wing Jamie Benn of the Dallas Stars and goaltender Tuukka Rask of the Bruins.

Crosby kind-of-sort-of discusses the Penguins' front office fandango
by George Malik on 06/23/14 at 09:25 PM ET
Comments (0)
Sidney Crosby is currently in Vancouver, attending Hockey Canada's end-of-hockey-year awards banquet, and ESPN's Pierre LeBrun also happens to be attending the event, so LeBrun asked Crosby to weigh in on the Penguins' front-office tumult (i.e. the firing of Ray Shero and then Dan Bylsma):
"Yeah, it's a new situation for us," Crosby told ESPN.com on Monday, in town with other Canadian Olympic teammates to receive their championship gold medal rings.
"We haven't had a big change like that since going back to the year we won when you think about it. It's never something you want to see happen, Crosby said. "Obviously with the expectations being so high like they are in Pittsburgh, we understand that it comes with it. The unfortunate part is, most times the coach or the GM pays the price. It's definitely not something you want to be dealing with every year. We didn't do a good enough job. Personally, it wasn't the playoff I wanted to have. It's something I have to learn from and definitely be better for it."
Crosby, off to Las Vegas on Tuesday where he's favored to win his second career Hart Trophy as NHL MVP, said he's spoken with both Ray Shero and Dan Bylsma since their firings. The Penguins hired Jim Rutherford to replace Shero, but remain in the market for a new head coach.
"Yeah, I mean we won a Stanley Cup together. You feel like you let them down," Crosby said. "As a player you have to get the job done. You feel a sense of responsibility for that and like I said, the coach and the GMs are usually the ones that pay the price. We had some good years together. You know that they'll be working pretty soon and be part of another team. But it's still not easy."
Crosby and LeBrun continue...

Monday May Be An Ask Sidney Crosby Type Of Day
by Paul on 06/22/14 at 07:15 AM ET
Comments (0)
Tomorrow, finalists for the NHL Awards will be made available to the media from 2:30pm until 4:00pm ET. in Las Vegas.
Even though the atmosphere is much more relaxed than let's say a post-game dressing room plus all different types of media probably have been granted access, I don't think I would want to be in Sidney Crosby's shoes.
Assuming he will be in attendance, I am sure he will face a barrage of questions regarding the current state of the Pittsburgh Penguins.
The hockey media types will want his opinion and will ask him the same type of questions but with different angles. The media who are in attendance for the event itself, well you don't know what type of questions Crosby will be asked and it could be a long 1 1/2 hours for Crosby.
At an event where everything usually has a positive vibe to it, it just may be the opposite for Crosby.
added 2:30pm, Just received an update, Crosby will not be at the media availability event tomorrow but will be at the Red Carpet event on Tuesday.
added 2:42pm, This may explain the reason why Crosby is not available (Babcock too) on Monday.

from Damien Cox of the Toronto Star,
You certainly get the sense that this may be the point at which the Penguins and Capitals aren't really linked any more, or at least not as much. They're as different as they are alike.
Players like Steven Stamkos, Henrik Lundqvist, Jonathan Toews, Ryan Getzlaf and Anze Kopitar have caught up to Nos. 87 and 8 when it comes to the best and brightest of NHL stars.
Beyond that, nobody sees Pittsburgh and Washington as teams with limitless futures any more.
The golden talents of Crosby and Ovechkin allowed these two clubs to exist above the muck for years. Now they're in it with most everybody else.

Friedman talks cap conundrums, Pens, managerial compensation, John Gibson and Babs in 30 Thoughts
by George Malik on 05/18/14 at 07:58 PM ET
Comments (0)
The CBC's Elliotte Friedman just posted his "30 Thoughts" column, and after wondering how the Penguins will be able to keep all of their unrestricted free agents-to-be, even with the rising cap (they won't be able to do so--a trade will be necessary or people will walk), he offers more than a few intriguing observations. Among them:
1. Just for comparison: the 2012-13 cap was $70.2 million, similar to what we're expecting next season. Chicago won with its top-three salaried players (Patrick Kane, Patrick Sharp and Jonathan Toews) taking 26 per cent. Kane and Toews can be extended this summer, with the new deals beginning in 2015-16. That percentage is going to go up, but by how much? They took almost $5 million less than Crosby/Malkin per season on their second deals, critical to their second Stanley Cup (and maybe more). Western Conference opponents are expecting to deal with them for eight additional years. "I hope [their salary number] starts with a nine," one rival exec laughed.

And not the way Jonathan Toews is playing. Toews may well overtake Crosby for the title these playoffs.

Sidney Crosby Is Off His Game
by Paul on 05/12/14 at 11:46 AM ET
Comments (10)
from Mike Brophy of CBC,
Crosby once again has been the target of abuse, first by the Columbus Blue Jackets in the first round and now by the New York Rangers. Typically, he isn't putting up with any of the nonsense.
The only problem is, Crosby has been thrown off his game. One goal and nine points in 12 games might be decent numbers for many NHLers. But not for Crosby. His production is off and his eye has been taken off the prize. Rather than being the leader the Pittsburgh Penguins have grown accustomed to seeing, he has become a problem for a team now facing a Game 7 after having held a 3-1 series lead.
It certainly isn't all Crosby's fault. But his lack of composure has not helped Pittsburgh's cause. It can be argued that as his team's best player, Crosby should not be fighting his own battles at this stage of the season. He should be receiving the same type of protection afforded Wayne Gretzky in his prime.
The Penguins have done a lousy job protecting their leader. And now out of sheer frustration, Crosby is off his game. That was obvious when he speared Dominic Moore in the groin after a whistle and when he cross-checked Brian Boyle at the conclusion of Sunday's 3-1 loss to the Rangers.
On the one hand, it is admirable that Crosby stands up for himself. However, when it becomes a distraction and interferes with his team's ability to win, it must stop.

Rangers aren't a bad team, but the Penguins are running them over
by George Malik on 05/07/14 at 11:09 PM ET
Comments (0)
George here on the late shift. I'm getting ready to wake up a little bit early to watch Wings players take part in the World Championships, which begin on Friday. The European press tends to look at the NHL playoffs from a rather Machiavellian perspective--sometimes actively rooting against the teams whose players include important national team contributors--and as such, I had one thought as Evgeni Malkin's 1-0 goal slithered past a goaltender who's more or less been left to his devices in Henrik Lunqvist:
"[Team Sweden coach and GM] Par Marts must be watching this game thinking, 'I can get Henke to Minsk by Sunday!'"
The Penguins defeated Lundqvist's Rangers 4-2, taking a 3-games-to-none series lead, and while the Penguins lost Brooks Orpik's services, the Rangers' combination of struggling stars on offense and a sometimes-shaky defense reminds me of--dare I say it?--the Wings-Bruins series.

Concern Over Crosby?
by Paul on 05/04/14 at 10:11 AM ET
Comments (4)
from Joe Starkey of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review,
Penguins winger Lee Stempniak unintentionally delivered the funniest line of the playoffs Saturday morning at Southpointe.
"I don't think anyone's really worried about Sid or Geno," Stempniak said.
He's partially right. Nobody's too worried about Evgeni Malkin since his hat trick in Game 6 at Columbus.
As for Sid, well, nobody but an entire region (Western Pennsylvania) and an entire country (Canada) seems all that obsessed with his travails. My goodness, in Canada they're running Zapruder-style films of his speed variations and wondering, with reason, if he is injured.
All I know is this: Crosby often seems strangely disengaged in these playoffs. And it's a fact that if he doesn't find the net Sunday in Game 2 of this Eastern Conference semifinal, he will be mired in the longest goal-scoring drought of his career.

The CBC's Don Cherry had a very selective memory on Saturday evening. He lamented Brandon Dubinsky's ability to attack Sidney Crosby at will in Game 1 of the Penguins-Blue Jackets series, he mocked Duncan Keith for jabbing at the Blues' stars--suggesting that Keith "got Seabrook pumped up" (before sidestepping that topic)--he reviewed the Blues' game-winning goal against Chicago, lamenting Patrick Kane not blocking a shot, he very briefly praised Pavel Datsyuk's game-winner and suggested that the Wings are the worst team for the Bruins to play as their lack of retaliation prevents the Bruins from playing their game (no Loosick mention on Saturday), and then he praised Corey Perry scoring against Dallas and Ryan Getzlaf's persistence (no spear there, either).

Simmons: Jonathan Toews is the NHL's franchise-building player
by George Malik on 03/01/14 at 10:06 PM ET
Comments (7)
The Toronto Sun's Steve Simmons returned to North America from Sochi, Russia in a contemplative mood, and he's focusing on one particular topic in a Saturday night/Sunday morning column--suggesting that Jonathan Toews has succeeded Sidney Crosby as hockey's most valuable all-round player:
One player to choose to start a franchise? You can have Sidney Crosby.
I'm taking Jonathan Toews.
I'm taking the 25-year-old who already has two Stanley Cup rings and two Olympic gold medals, a player who intrinsically seems to comprehend what it takes to win and with a willingness to do whatever it means to get there.
For the second Olympic Games in succession, Toews was Canada's best forward: His line with Jeff Carter and Patrick Marleau, was Team Canada's strongest line throughout the Olympic hockey tournament.
He's not fancy like his teammate, Patrick Kane, or as offensively gifted or driven as Crosby, or with a rocket shot like Steven Stamkos, or even with Phil Kessel's speed: He is just complete. As absolute and certain as there is in today's world of hockey.
Simmons continues, addressing numerous topics...

Simmons: Crosby might carry Canada's flag in Sochi
by George Malik on 01/19/14 at 02:54 AM ET
Comments (1)
The Toronto Sun's Steve Simmons weighs in on Nazem Kadri's possible trade value for the Maple Leafs, and Simmons also reveals that a certain Pittsburgh Penguins general manager wants to make Sidney Crosby available to the Canadian Olympic Committee should they want to counter Zdeno Chara's status as Slovakia's flag-bearer in his Sunday column, and, well...
Penguins general manager Ray Shero told the Toronto Sun by email Saturday that he agreed with the Boston Bruins move to allow captain Zdeno Chara to miss a National Hockey League game so the captain could carry the Slovakian flag in the opening ceremony on Feb. 7.
But what about his captain?
"Hard to turn down that opportunity," Shero wrote. "Agreed with Boston on letting (Chara) go."
Crosby would be an ideal choice to carry the flag, which will likely be decided among bobsledder Kaillie Humphries, hockey's Hayley Wickenheiser, skier Erik Guay and speed skaters, Christine Nesbitt and Charles Hamelin. That didn't seem in any way possible until the Chara move was agreed to by the Bruins.
Now that the way has been cleared it is up to the COC to make the call: The flag bearer will be announced Thursday. Is there time to make it Crosby? And does he want to do it?

Sidney Crosby when asked this question...
Is it necessary for a player to start a fight after a teammate is hit legally?
"That's been around for years. I don't see a problem with that. I don't see a problem with Thornton going over to [Orpik] and asking him to fight. That's the response. But to do what he did was totally unnecessary. It's terrible. I'm sure he knows that more than everybody. He's made a living at protecting his teammate and sticking up for them. But to confront [Orpik] and ask him to fight, I think every team wants a player like that. There's nothing wrong with that. But to do what he did to him is not acceptable. He could have done the exact same thing and gotten a two-minute minor for five shifts in a row. There's nothing wrong with it. … there's nothing with [Orpik] saying no either. He's got to play 25 minutes a night against top guys."

He may look like a kid with those large eyes and that wide, familiar smile. He may be only 26 years old, young to some of us, but not necessarily by sporting standards.
But here's the startling number when it comes to Sidney Crosby, who sometimes, just not often enough, has been the best player in all of hockey: This is Year 9 of his National Hockey League career. And somehow that seems in need of recount.
For all kinds of reasons, this still seems like the formative stages of his career. He still feels like a resource untapped. Like the best has yet to come for Crosby.
And maybe it will. Maybe this year as the NHL returns to a full 82-game season. Maybe this is the year of Sid The Adult.

Sidney Crosby's no longer an Olympic 'kid'
by George Malik on 08/28/13 at 11:03 PM ET
Comments (0)
The Globe and Mail's Eric Duhatschek spoke with Sidney Crosby at the conclusion of Hockey Canada's Olympic orientation camp in Calgary. While Crosby is no longer a "kid," the gentleman who scored Canada's "golden goal" in 2010 suggested that he's approaching the 2014 Olympics from a very different perspective:
"If I look back to last time, I was probably more in awe and trying to learn from those guys," Crosby said after the 72-hour orientation camp came to a close with a farewell dinner that also included the women's Olympic hockey team. "I don't think [taking on a leadership role] is a conscious decision you make, it's just a natural progression. You played on the team before; you understand things a little better. It's a comfort level. It's a totally different mindset … going into your first Olympic camp and your second."

Crosby Receives Celebrity Treatment At Pennsylvania DMV Office

from Amy McConnell Schaarsmith of the Pittsburgh Posg-Gazette,
You know the Department of Motor Vehicles drill. You took a half day off work to renew your driver's license during business hours. Inside the DMV office, dozens of fellow would-be motorists with glazed expressions sprawl in rows of hard plastic chairs, their bored and cranky children squalling the misery felt by all. And there's no telling how long you will wait.
Unless you are Pittsburgh Penguins captain Sidney Crosby, or a "celebrity" of equal fame and disruption potential, that is.
In that case, as Mr. Crosby demonstrated to amazed patrons of the Duncan Manor DMV office in McCandless Friday morning, you get to skip to the front of the line, taking care of business in minutes while mere mortals -- including fans -- wait as they must.
Some of those fans said Friday they don't mind their hero enjoying the state's policy of preferential treatment for celebrities, which is meant to keep disruption to a minimum. But others said the double standard sends the wrong message that a famous person is more important than the average human.

from Paul Grant of ESPN,
With all these comparisons flying around, this week we're going to cut through the crud and make a call. Given two players, one active and one retired, in their primes, who would be better? And the best part of it is that you, the user, get the final word.
For our second installment, how about: The two best players of their generation, if not the two best players in the history of the game in Sidney Crosby and Wayne Gretzky. This is such a timeless comparison, we're going to do it again, only more lo-fi..

from Josh Yohe of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review,
The NHL is seven months removed from a lockout that could have crippled its popularity.
No such result occurred, and now league officials believe their product can achieve unprecedented appeal.
The Penguins' Sidney Crosby is among the biggest reasons.
NHL executive vice president of marketing Brian Jennings was in Pittsburgh last week for the league's annual NHL Exchange, a merger of merchandise ideas and retailers. Jennings, though, wasn't spending time thinking about T-shirt designs or promotional giveaways.
He had the game's brightest star in mind.
"Sidney Crosby is a big part of what has made us so successful in recent years," he said.

One Step Forward And Probably A Few Steps Back For Crosby
by Paul on 06/07/13 at 01:42 PM ET
Comments (0)
from Nicholas J. Cotsonika of Yahoo,
The Penguins had gone up, up, up in the Crosby era – missing the playoffs, losing in the first round, making the Cup final, winning the Cup – until that loss to the Canadiens. It has been a roller coaster since – a first-round loss with no Crosby or Malkin, a first-round loss with Crosby and Malkin, and now this. The Eastern Conference final is a step forward, but not far enough.
Crosby has risen to a new level, battled concussion problems, come back as great as before and suffered a broken jaw. He missed a month and put up seven goals and 15 points in 10 playoff games, and suddenly he's struggling.
He is still only 25. He is still the face of the NHL and should still have much to look forward to. Yet if anyone should know not to take anything for granted, it should be him, and if the Penguins lose this series, one more precious chance will be gone. Crosby will have been humbled, not just by his own mistakes, like his brutal giveaway that led to a goal early in Game 2, not just by the Bruins, who have smothered him, but by the game itself.
Crosby lost his helmet in double overtime of Game 3. He kept chugging with that head and jaw exposed, trying to create something, trying to do what the best player in the world is supposed to do. But not long afterward, the puck ended up in the Pittsburgh net instead. Just when he thought he appreciated how tough it was to get to the Cup final, it got even tougher.

Will Crosby Find His Game?
by Paul on 06/05/13 at 07:38 AM ET
Comments (18)
from Dan Shaughnessy of the Boston Globe,
All eyes will certainly be on Sidney Crosby. Now that LeBron James has rescued the Heat in a Game 7, Crosby is the sports star with the most to prove in the spring of 2013. His reputation has taken a massive hit in the first two games of this series and he risks morphing into a Wilt Chamberlain/A-Rod pinata if he continues to pout and put up zeroes.
The sub-headline in Sports Illustrated's May 13 cover story on Crosby reads, "You can't keep Sidney Crosby down. You can only marvel at how hockey's best player keeps coming back even better than when he left.''
Well, the Bruins certainly have kept him down for two games. And the only thing to "marvel" about is the new notion that Crosby is a baby and a no-show on the big stage. He's supposed to be the face of the NHL and the successor to Gordie Howe, Bobby Orr, Wayne Gretzky, and Mario Lemieux, but thus far in this series, he's not nearly as good as Torey Krug. And let's not embarrass him with the numbers about his faceoff failures against Patrice Bergeron.

The "Hardened" Penguins Lead By Crosby
by Paul on 05/31/13 at 01:24 PM ET
Comments (0)
from Scott Burnside of ESPN,
One NHL coach told ESPN.com this week that he felt that the Penguins, and Crosby in particular, had been "hardened" by recent playoff losses and that their play this spring has reflected that.
"Sid has been really gritty, good to see," the coach said. "He is a great player, but he used to cheat to score. Now he doesn't.
"He stops on pucks, plays better defensively. Losing the last three years has hardened that team."
Crosby doesn't disagree that the Penguins' disappointments since 2009 have altered the team in some fundamental way.
"Hopefully we learned from it," he said. "Yeah, I think that's fair to say. I think when you have those expectations and there's certain things that happen, you have to be able to learn from them and you can't accept that that's OK and you can't say, 'Oh, that was just a weird series last year against Philadelphia.'
"You have to find out why and what needs to be better, and I think we were all pretty honest with how we evaluated that and what we needed to improve. The bottom line is that you've got to give yourself a chance to win. I don't think we did that in those previous series. Even if you give yourself a chance, there's no guarantees, [but] you've got to at least do that."

from Rosie DiManno of the Toronto Star,
The pillowy lips part to reveal a mouthful of ruin, a graveyard of tombstone teeth and mutilated gums.
There's a gap between the lower bicuspids, a V-shaped hollow through which sibilant sounds emerge, a whistle of consonants and vowels.
Sidney Crosby is lisping.
"Thith is going to be the toughetht tetht yet.''
Game 3 of the Eastern Conference semifinal against the Senators-at-home, he meant: Toughest. Test. Yet.

KOLKATA: To handle the rush after services are thrown open to suburban commuters of the Eastern Railway's Sealdah South section, Metro Railway is preparing to run at least two shuttle services during peak hours between Mahanayak Uttam Kumar and Dum Dum. These two trains will enable commuters from Tollygunge (Mahanayak Uttam Kumar) to travel to work in relative comfort.
The Pranabananda Halt in ER's Sealdah South section (between the Garia and Bagha Jatin stations) is expected to be thrown open in a few days. This station will provide the link between the suburban line and the Kavi Subhas station in the Metro network through a subway. Once EMU locals start stopping at Pranabananda Halt, the number of Metro commuters will increase by 25,000 to 30,000, believe officials . By the time the Metro trains reach Mahanayak Uttam Kumar on their way to Dum Dum, they will be loaded.
"We shall increase the number of services from 236 to 270, but frequency during peak hours will remain unchanged for now. We have already received complaints from commuters of the rush they face when trying to board trains from Mahanayak Uttam Kumar . Keeping this in mind, we are working out a strategy. At least two trains will start from Mahanayak Uttam Kumar during peak hours," an officer said.
The Metro carries nearly 5.5 lakh commuters on an average on a weekday. The network has witnessed a steady increase in the number of commuters. The number of commuters carried by the Metro in 2010-11 was 15.9 crore. By March 14, 2012, Metro had succeeded in carrying 15.94 crore commuters. By the end of the 2011-12 fiscal, the number of commuters is expected to surpass all previous records.
The passengers' subway between Pranabananda Halt and Kavi Subhas will facilitate easy movement for suburban commuters. In fact, many people who went up to Sealdah in the evening to board local trains for home will now travel part of the distance by Metro. "The facilities at Pranabananda Halt will allow a large number of suburban commuters from faraway places reach places like Park Street, Esplanade and Chandni Chowk much faster," the officer added.
With the subway between the halt and the Metro station, there will be synergy between the Metro and suburban railway networks. In Dum Dum, there is a similar interface where suburban commuters can change over to the Metro and travel to the central business district.

Hello, I currently have single pane windows and am looking to upgrade to double pane. I'm in a very moderate climate -- the San Francisco Bay Area -- so it never gets too cold or extremely hot for long periods. However, where I live it does get warm in the summer, and I have a couple windows that get direct, pounding afternoon sun that heats up the house all night making it uncomfortable during warm patches.
I have no issues with my windows with the cold weather. My home is insulated well and it's small, plus I have many windows and it's very sunny, so I really don't have to run the heater that often. I love my sunny home, so I'm worried about the new coated windows that will reduce that bright light. Is there a way to upgrade to double pane windows so that the heat from the afternoon sun is more bearable, but yet I still get to enjoy the sunny home I love? Advice is very much appreciated. Thanks! |
Follow-Up Postings:
As you reduce the amount of heat gain, you naturally will reduce some of the light. The question is what is an acceptable balance of the two? Currently the Cardinal 366 glass offers a version that reduces the Solar Gain to a factor of .18. and a Visible light transmittance of 66%. This is an excellent number for your situation but the glass can appear a little dark. I would get out and visit a few window dealers who have showrooms and see if they can provide you with actual samples for your consideration. You may decide a greater heat gain is acceptable due to the increased amount of light to around 72%. For comparison a dual pane IG unit has a VT around 78% |

This did the job. Not the best as far as feel but it def gets the job done. I wasn't thrilled to use it with powdered foundation over concealer, tends to get blotchy on those areas somewhat. Great for liquid foundation! Only $1
This was my first foundation brush and I was really happy that it was only $1. I didn't expect much from it for the price so I wasn't too disappointed when it didn't distribute product evenly and left a streaky mess. Since I had to go over my face several times with this brush, I ended up putting way more product on than I had initially planned. I also had to go over everything with a sponge to blend as this brush is worthless for blending. I have since purchased a high end quality brush for everyday use but I'll keep this brush in my kit for doing character or costume makeup -- in which case I don't want to use my nice brush. For the price, it's worth a try but don't expect good results and be prepared to spend some time applying and blending.
This brush is ok for someone that needs one asap and for cheap (only $1). Other than that it isn't very good because of the quality. The brush is too firm and bulky, which makes it hard to use and clean. It is smooth though which is good. I would skip this and spend extra money on something else. E.L.F. makes some other brushes that are much better, which are from the Studio line. I know they make a pointed and angled foundation brush, which I've never tried. I love the Powder Brush.
More reviews by Octobercutie888
I love these products it was only $1.00 so how can you beat that :) I use my fingers to apply foundation but to help put and blend in an extra coat for my under eye circles and blemishes on my face i use this and there's no shedding. Works great!
I generally don't like applying my foundation with a flat brush like this, because it tends to come out a streaky and takes a little too long to blend it in for my liking. That said, this is a nice brush. I use it to blend out my Maybelline Color Correcting stick in corrective green on my cheeks and sides of my face because I have scarring from a skin disease in that area. The reason I only gave it a four is because I can't use it for what its intended for, but still a nice brush.
This is a great foundation brush for the price. It applies the foundation pretty evenly. It's good for light coverage, not for heavy coverage. There is a bit of streakiness during the application, but it's easy to blend it away with this brush. I haven't experienced any shedding at all, and the bristles are pretty soft. They have a lot of "give", or pressure, when you push on them. Like most of the Essential brushes, the metal part isn't well attached so you have to glue it on yourself. It isn't very good for under the eyes though, since it leaves streaks, and unlike on the face, it's hard to blend them out. Overall, a pretty good brush for the price. :)
This gave me a really streaky finish and I found it really hard to blend with the plasticky bristles. However, I've started using it to apply a cream blusher, and it's working fine for that. It doesn't shed and it's lasted quite well (over a year).
Ok brush for runnier foundations, as long as I lean it close to the skin or it will streak. Also, after covering the face, I have to blend it rotating it 60 degrees.
If I apply powder, the powder brush will end the finishing.
Otherwise, it is good to finish careless with a powder brush (empty) anyway.
If it is too much work for you, pass it - but in terms of cost/benefit, I would take a chance.
that's all i can say over this brush.
it doesn't apply product, it absorbs product.in order to match the foundation to my skin color/tone, i dont use single foundation , but rather a mix of some liquid+cream+bb cream. i use this brush to apply the mixture from my palm to my face, and it doesn't work. i end up using too much products to make another mixture, and poof.and over the application, it doesnt glide or doing exactly the applying thing,it just makes nasty blots and blotches.
and it's just being devilish stubborn over cleansing. i've tried brush shampoo,baby shampoo, dish cleaner,and i gave up.foundation mixture leftovers wont budge AT ALL since it got trapped and stuck on the bristles.
i use it to clean my computer now.it does well after demoted to the IT department

[522] Pleomorphic Dermal Sarcoma: Clinicopathologic Analysis of 32 Cases
Keith Miller, John R Goodlad, Thomas Brenn. Southmead Hospital, North Bristol NHS Trust, Bristol, United Kingdom; Western General Hospital and The University of Edinburgh, Edinburgh, United Kingdom
Background: If strict morphological and immunophenotypic criteria are applied, the behavior of atypical fibroxanthoma is almost entirely benign. However, tumors with similar pathological features but deep subcutaneous invasion, necrosis, lymphovascular or perineurial invasion may be associated with adverse outcome. Such tumors may be best regarded as pleomorphic dermal sarcoma (PDS). As this concept is not universally accepted, we aim to further characterize their clinical and morphological features as well as behavior.
Design: 32 PDS were retrieved from the departmental files at NHS Lothian, Edinburgh, UK. Hematoxylin and eosin-stained tissue sections as well as immunohistochemistry for multiple markers were assessed to exclude epithelial, melanocytic, smooth muscle and endothelial differentiation. Clinical and follow-up data were obtained.
Results: Median age at presentation was 81 years (range: 47-96) with a strong male predilection. All tumors occurred on sun-damaged skin, mostly of the scalp. Only one tumor was located outside the head and neck area.
Tumors were nodular or polypoid with median thickness of 11.5mm (range: 3.5-26). When available for assessment, all tumors invaded at least into deep subcutis. Skeletal muscle or fascia involvement was identified in 82%, and ulceration in 78% of cases. The tumors were composed of fascicles of atypical spindle cells, or less frequently of sheets of pleomorphic epithelioid cells. A subset of tumors showed mixed features and multinucleated tumor giant cells were admixed in varying proportions. Additional findings were myxoid, desmoplastic, pseudoangiomatous, keloidal or storiform growth patterns. The mitotic count was brisk, including atypical forms, and tumor necrosis was observed in 22%. Lymphovascular invasion was noted in 5, perineurial infiltration in 7 patients.
Multiple cytokeratin markers, S100, HMB-45, desmin and CD34 were negative. SMA was expressed in 70% of cases, EMA in 16%, CD31 in 48%, Melan A in 6% and p63 in 1 case only.
Follow-up (median, 20 months) was available for 28 patients. 6 patients recurred locally with no further recurrences in 4 patients. 1 patient developed further recurrences as well as multiple cutaneous metastases, and died after 13 months. 5 patients died from unrelated and 5 from unknown cases.
Conclusions: This study outlines the clinical and morphological features of PDS. Tumors may recur locally but distant metastasis and disease related death is rare despite the deep invasion and presence of lymphovascular invasion.

Unless you've been living in a cave, you know what I'm referring to. Poking fun at those backward-hat-wearin'-pants-around-their-bum-knuckleheads was awesome to watch. So, my question for my fellow scribes is this: Are you wearing your writing down around you bum? What I mean is, are you trying so hard to make your writing cool that you make it look ridiculous?
One of the biggest mistakes that new writers make is trying to imitate what is currently "cool" in the writing world. Yes, there was room for the teenage vampire "writers" to jump on board the Meyer bandwagon. 'Tis the way of the world and I get that. Thank God that era is starting to fade. I'm not talking genre as much as I am voice and style. The surest recipe for lookin' like a fool is to try and copy or imitate another writer's voice.
You need to remember that your voice is yours. It is what makes you unique and is a major factor in your success as a writer. If you try to write like King or Brown or Meyer the only thing you will succeed at is lookin' like a fool. Writing in your own voice is your big chance to pull up your pants and walk tall. When you are a success, it will be because you did things in your own unique and special way.
Take the time to examine your motivation and your writing heroes. We all have heroes and it's important to recognize which traits you admire in them and want to emulate. Now examine the writing you've done. Look at it with a critical eye. Ask yourself, "Is this MY voice? MY style? Or is my writing on the ground?"
After closer examination, if your writing is on the ground don't just toss it away – get a belt. Resolve to keep your writing off the ground and get into your own style. The results will be impressive and you will feel great about your writing all over again.
What say you? Is your writing your own?

I don't know how the basic/final missions worked for the base game, but...
After any player has completed one of their basic missions, they can, at the start of any turn, decide to reveal the final mission. Once the mission is revealed, a turn counter starts. Some missions have a shorter timer than others (I think there's two 8-turn missions and one 10-turn in the base game, don't know about the expansion). Only players that have completed a basic mission can attempt the final mission. If the timer runs out before anyone completes the mission, everyone gets one last chance to win by completing the "crisis" version of the mission. Everyone that hasn't completed at least one basic mission immediately loses, then everyone else gets to try (in speed order, I think). If you fail, you lose the game. Yes, this does mean that you might have a game where no one wins.
