Martin Scorsese is making the Las Vegas Mob story Casino, but who knew that the director was such a cagey gambler?
According to makeup and effects people who helped rig some of Casino's startling gory ''gags'' (that's what filmmakers call shots involving fakery), Scorsese has a few extra cards to play when the film goes before the Motion Picture Association of America ratings board this fall. He's contractually obligated to deliver a R picture, but should the board cry NC-17, no problem. The Oscar-nominated director of GoodFellas is ready to drop some of his most outrageous Casino shots because he never intended to put them in the finished film anyway.
It's a game directors play but don't talk much about, offering up sicko sacrifices to Hollywood's unofficial board of censors. The idea: Shock the MPAA in round one so that later trims will appear to make the difference. A Casino case in point: Enforcer Nicky (Joe Pesci) puts a hood's head in a vise and, as described in a script draft, ''spins the vise handle until suddenly the [man's] head explodes, splattering the room with blood and brains.''
''That was fun to shoot, but it was an exercise,'' says makeup wizard Howard Berger of Kurtzman Nicotero Berger, the firm that landed the exploding-head concession partly on the strength of earlier work done for Quentin Tarantino. ''Scorsese wanted to shoot it so there was blood spraying out of the eyeball, and then the whole eyeball would pop out. He said, 'It's ridiculous but I have to put it in so I can cut it and keep what I really need.'''
Berger says that Tarantino shoots extra gore for the same reason. ''On Pulp Fiction, we went through all the effects in advance,'' says Greg Nico tero. ''Quentin told us, 'Just so you guys know, nothing personal, but probably nothing you build for me is really going to be in the movie.''' Among the casualties: several life-size exploding heads created for the scene in which Vince (John Travolta) accidentally blows off a man's noggin. In the finished movie, which is still gory, all the viewer sees is blood spattering a car's interior. Of all the standout Pulp Fiction gags, say the makeup team, only a prosthesis that allowed a syringe to protrude from Uma Thurman's chest made the final cut. Isn't that a bloody big waste of everyone's time? ''Quentin always worried we'd feel that way,'' says Nicotero. ''But we understand. It's part of a negotiation process.''
Neither Scorsese nor Tarantino would comment on their ratings stratagems. But the head-clamp sequence, says Scorsese's publicist, may well fall out of Casino before it gets to the MPAA. (Nicotero says there are plenty of other ''deeply disturbing'' effects in the movie, one of which required a realistic dummy of Pesci.) And while Tarantino's rep, Bumble Ward, admits she's ''heard tell'' of the unused Pulp work, she stresses that Tarantino maintains ''an incredibly good relationship with the MPAA. He's good about getting on with them and knowing what they want.''
If you ask MPAA president and CEO Jack Valenti, reports of directors using bloodred herrings are ''the same old canards'' he's been ''hearing for years,'' yet he acknowledges that ''more and more pictures are getting NC-17's in the first round because of violence.'' So doesn't the resulting flood of resubmissions lead to horse trading? Absolutely not, says Valenti. ''The ratings board doesn't make a decision based on what's taken out. They rate what's left in,'' he says. ''We will not point to specific frames or shots. We're not in the business of telling directors what to put in their films.'' That the board leaves to the studios, which are loath to accept the limited profit an NC-17 rating virtually guarantees. But to Valenti, box office is Hollywood's problem. After all, it's not like the ratings board has anyone's head in a vise.

Painting old oak cabinets
posted by: bemidjigreen on 03.10.2012 at 05:40 pm in Paint Forum The finish on my 20 year old kitchen cabinets is worn as well as being a hideous golden oak. I would like to paint them but am worried about the grain showing through as well pores appearing in the paint. I am not sure how to proceed as most DIY guides simply have you sand, high build prime and paint with an acrylic type paint.
I've read through some of the threads here but the folks who reply only reference products that are only available online and are very costly, like brushing putty and swedish putty. Anyway, I was wondering if I even need a grain filler if I use a high build primer. Any specific brands for either product would be helpful. Also, I was planning on using cabinet coat paint as the finish coat, so any hints about compatible products or a good alternative would be much appreciated. Thanks for reading NOTES: Special attention to shredbetty's post (6th and 8th comments) with pictures link to her photobucket that has 17 images.

Leading in a Global Market : Global Calling
March 2009
By Liz Warren-Pederson
50 incoming Eller students to study in China
The classes and faculty are the same, but the context is completely different: this summer, 50 Eller College students will take their first-semester cohort classes in Nanjing, China.
The program originally had just 35 slots, but the college expanded the number due to student demand.
"Students who are interested in international business can't learn about it just sitting in a classroom — they need to immerse themselves in other cultures," says Sue Umashankar, director of the Global Business Program at the Eller College. "We are offering five classes abroad, so students can live and learn in China while earning credits toward their degrees."
Over the course of eight weeks, the students will earn 15 credits of upper division classes taught by Eller College faculty. The program is available to business management and marketing majors who have been accepted into the professional phase of their Eller College education.
The students will live in a modern business hotel in downtown Nanjing from May-July while taking classes. Students will also participate in excursions to Shanghai and Beijing.

Sometimes dogs just like to wear vintage NBA hats. It's one of their favorite things, so deeply ingrained in their DNA that it has become a dominant trait. I have watched part of several episodes of "The Dog Whisperer" and Cesar Millan is always talking about how dogs are huge fans of NBA snapbacks from the 1990s.
And when dogs wear hats, I think it's a good idea to appreciate it. Dogs acting like humans is pretty funny, especially when they're acting like Kanye West at Fashion Week. So after the jump, there's some more pictures of dogs wearing NBA hats, courtesy of The Chimp Store, where all these hats are for sale. Dogs not included.
This guy is a big Jerome Williams fan, obviously.
And this guy hates the reputation that Kevin Garnett has earned, but he still sticks by him. Labradors are noted for their loyalty and quick defensive rotations.
So yeah, just some dogs wearing NBA hats. No big deal. It's the offseason, we're in the middle of a lockout, and the Internet was created to show pictures of cute puppies. Put them in NBA hats and it's even better.
In fact, if you TBJers wanted to put NBA hats on your dogs and email me some JPEGs, that'd be OK. More dogs in hats is fine by me.

Khitomer Accords
this wiki
- You may also be looking for the Second Khitomer Accords which outlawed subspace weapons.
Khitomer Accords | |
Formed: | 2293 |
Founding Members: | United Federation of Planets Klingon Empire |
Later Membership: | Cardassian Union, Ferengi Alliance |
Location: | Alpha Quadrant, Beta Quadrant |
Key Leaders: | Ra-ghoratreii , Nanietta Bacco, Azetbur, Gowron, Martok |
Rivalries: | Typhon Pact |
The Khitomer Accords refers to two historic treaties signed between the United Federation of Planets and the Klingon Empire. The Accords receive their name for the Klingon colony of Khitomer where the first peace treaty was signed at the Khitomer Conference in 2293. (TOS movie: Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country; DS9 episode: "The Way of the Warrior"; ST reference: Federation: The First 150 Years)
Curzon Dax was one of the Federation diplomats who negotiated the accords. (DS9 episode: "You Are Cordially Invited...")
In 2370, retired Starfleet Captain Montgomery Scott devised a plan to take a B'rel-class Klingon bird-of-prey, the Bounty 2, back in time and rescue his former commanding officer, James T. Kirk, Scott had the forethought to utilize the shuttlecraft Goddard rather than the Bounty 2 to approach the USS Enterprise-B, since a Klingon ship that deep in Federation territory would likely disrupt the tenuous peace of the recently signed Khitomer Accords. (Star Trek novel: Engines of Destiny)
After Starfleet refused to participate in the invasion of the Cardassian Union in 2372 and the Federation Council condemned it, Chancellor Gowron withdrew the Empire from the Accords. (DS9 episode: "The Way of the Warrior")
The Khitomer Accords were reinstated in mid-2373, after the Dominion invaded the Alpha Quadrant and the Cardassians became a member of the Gamma Quadrant empire. (DS9 episode: "By Inferno's Light")
In 2376, Ezri Dax, using Curzon's memories, adapted the draft of the Khitomer Accords into the beginning of the Yrythny Compromise. (DS9 - Mission Gamma novel: This Gray Spirit)
[show]Destiny timelineEdit
Among the agreements of the Accords was a provision stating that diplomatic pouches were not subject to searches by security or military personnel; Ambassador Worf utilized this privilege to carry weaponry and classified Starfleet Intelligence equipment into the Klingon Great Hall. [citation needed]
Following the formation of the Typhon Pact, the Federation and Klingon Empire invited the Imperial Romulan State, Cardassian Union, Ferengi Alliance and Talarian Republic to join in an expansion of the Accords to establish a strong counter-alliance to the Pact. Empress Donatra of the Imperial Romulan State and Ferengi Grand Nagus Rom immediately accepted the invitation. (ST novel: A Singular Destiny)
However the IRS was reabsorbed into the Romulan Star Empire in 2382 before it could formally enter. (ST novel: Rough Beasts of Empire).
This then hastened the negotiations resulting in the Cardassians and the Ferengi joining. (ST novel: The Struggle Within)
Online timelineEdit
The Accords were dissolved, again, in 2399. This was due to the fact that the Federation strongly condemned the Klingon's attack on Gornar and ignoring the threat that Species 8472 truly brought to the Quadrants.(ST website: The Path to 2409) Though the Federation and the Klingons are now on talking terms again, the Accords have currently not been reinstated.
- Article I: Both Parties obligate themeselves to desist from any act of violence, any aggressive action, and any attack on the each other, either individually or jointly with other powers.
- Article II: The Governments of the two Parties shall institute full diplomatic relations with each other. A parcel of land shall be delivered on each of the worlds, which will serve as center for government for each Party so that the other Party may establish an Embassy
- Article III: Should one of the Parties become the object of belligerent action by a third power, the other Party shall in no manner lend its support to this third power, and will lend whatever aid and assistance to the other party it deems appropriate by the rules of its internal government.

• Employ strong passwords with multifactor authentication. Strong passwords are very important, especially for bank accounts with large balances. What's a strong password? Something complex, long, multi-character, frequently changed, not used to access other Internet sites, not shared with others, and clearly not written down. You might also want to consider a multi-factor authentication to access your Internet banking site. Corporations may consider using tokens that provide a new access code in addition to passwords. To access your site, you'd need your password plus the number on your token. Contact your financial institution for the token. • Don't fall prey to a phishing attack. This includes: (a) Never click a link in an e-mail to access your Internet banking account—what if it's a fake site, collecting your password? (b) Never click a link on a public or non-bank website to your Internet banking site—how do you know the link isn't sending you to a fake site? (c) Never use a public computer, like at a conference or library, to access your Internet banking account. (d) Do not use the "remember password" feature. (e) Don't use your Internet banking site password for other sites such as Facebook or merchant sites. (f) Stay up to date on antivirus software on devices you use to access your Internet banking sites. (g) Finally, periodically scan your desktop for unusual devices connected to your USB ports. • Set transaction limits and types. For accounts with large balances, restrict the types of transactions, such as "Wire transfers over $5,000 require phone verification by bank." In this scenario, the bank would need to call the authorized contact to verify wire transfers over $5,000 before processing them. Another could be "Wire transfers out of the country require a secondary verification." • Separate accounts for wire transfer. Have a separate account for wire transfers, and limit the balance in that account. When you initiate a wire transfer, you'd then move the funds to that account. • Limit ATM withdrawal. Limit the balances in accounts with ATM/debit card capabilities. • Monitor your cash balances daily. For accounts with large balances, monitor your balances on a daily basis. This will allow you to notice and notify your financial institution of unusual transactions very quickly. Article excerpts from http://www.crainsdetroit.com/section/blogRajJPatel#

As you can tell by my question I have no experience with vermiculture but I'm considering it.
One thing I hear frequently in this forum and others is "replace the bedding". As I understand it the bedding refers to the shredded paper or cardboard at the bottom of the box. When you replace the bedding do you have to empty the box and place new bedding at the bottom? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Hi hoodat; No you do not pull out the old paper it breaks down into injestable food filled with microbes that the worms suck up. As the worms work through(eat and digest) all the material you put in the bin, it, the material will become castings mixed with the unprocessed material and some will become very small particals and settle toward the bottom of the bin. when you have a few inches of this well processed material you remove it and place the unprocessed material back in the bin and add new bedding material paper,cardboard.coir or what ever you want to use for bedding and start the process over. You may have to devide the worms when the squirm (biomass) exceeds the bins size say 2lbs per sq foot of surface. |
By Jove I think he's got it. Thanks. |

Conservation Partnership Transfers Popular Bridger-Teton Access Point To Forest Service
September 4, 2013

Jackson, Wyo. — A partnership between the Jackson Hole Land Trust and The Conservation Fund has enabled the permanent protection of a 37-acre property within crucial wildlife winter range in central Teton County. In late August, the USDA Forest Service acquired the property, with support from the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF), and added it to the Bridger-Teton National Forest.
Located about 15 miles south of Jackson, the Poison Creek property lies deep within the 18 million acre Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem—the last intact ecosystem in the lower 48 states—and rises above the Congressionally-designated Wild and Scenic Hoback River. An important island of once privately-owned land inside the boundaries of the Bridger-Teton National Forest, the inholding is the last parcel along Highway 189/191 before it enters the Hoback Canyon to the east. Blanketed by sagebrush and bisected by Poison Creek, the largely undeveloped property offers critical winter habitat for bighorn sheep, elk, and mule deer as well as important habitat for many other species. A popular trailhead and trail on the property used by hikers and hunters provides public access to the parcel and to the Gros Ventre Wilderness during the summer and fall months, and is closed during the winter and spring to protect winter range for wildlife.
Opportune funding from the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF)—a federal program that receives a percentage of proceeds from offshore oil and gas royalties for the protection of irreplaceable lands and improvement of outdoor recreation opportunities across the nation—allowed for last week's transfer of the Poison Creek property from the Land Trust to the Forest Service by way of The Conservation Fund. These LWCF funds were appropriated in fiscal year 2013 by the U.S. Congress.
"Poison Creek has been a top priority for us for years, so when we found out that the LWCF funding would be available for use in the Greater Yellowstone Area by mid-May, we moved quickly," said Michael Schrotz, Bridger-Teton National Forest Planning and Lands Staff Officer. "To be able to negotiate and complete these complex land deals by August was exciting and speaks to the expertise and commitment of our partners at the Land Trust and The Conservation Fund."
The Poison Creek parcel has been owned by the Jackson Hole Land Trust since 1997, when a partnership effort led by the Land Trust and backed by financial support from private donors and organizations secured its purchase from private landowners. The property had been sought after for acquisition by various public agencies because of its strategic position and high conservation values, but the cost of the property had been prohibitive. Following its purchase, the Land Trust has held and stewarded the property in anticipation for an eventual transfer to the Bridger-Teton National Forest. Advocates of LWCF funding for this recent acquisition include the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation, Snake River Fund, Wild Sheep Foundation, Wyoming Wild Sheep Foundation, Jackson Hole Conservation Alliance, and Teton County Commissioners.
"We are thrilled to be a key partner in securing the Poison Creek property for the Forest Service and fulfilling the original intent of this conservation project," said Laurie Andrews, executive director of the Jackson Hole Land Trust. "Partnerships have always been essential to the success of this project, and we are incredibly grateful to The Conservation Fund, the Bridger-Teton National Forest—as well as our original partners—for all that they contributed to see this LWCF project to completion."
Responding to the expedited time frame for the project, The Conservation Fund stepped forward to facilitate the land transfer and contribute their experience working with private-to-public land transfers at the regional and national levels.
"This is community-based conservation at its finest, and it provides great access to the Gros Ventre Wilderness," said The Conservation Fund's Wyoming State Director, Luke Lynch. "We're tremendously grateful for the good sense of the Jackson Hole Land Trust to purchase this land when it came on the market more than 15 years ago and for Congress' support of the Land and Water Conservation Fund to finally secure its permanent conservation."
"As the new Forest Supervisor, I am honored to be a partner with the Jackson Hole Land Trust and The Conservation Fund, and am thankful for their quick work in acquiring this inholding. This acquisition minimizes the chance for fragmenting wildlife habitat and ensures access to these public lands," said Clint Kyhl, Bridger-Teton Forest Supervisor.
Management of the Poison Creek property will be guided by the Bridger-Teton National Forest's Forest Plan. "The lands will adopt the desired conditions of our 1990 Forest Plan –public access, dispersed recreation, Wild and Scenic River recreation, and backcountry big game hunting," said Michael Schrotz. "Management change from the Land Trust to that of the Forest Service should be seamless for the public."
The Jackson Hole Land Trust plans to commit the funds from the Poison Creek sale towards priority Forest Service inholding conservation projects in the Greater Yellowstone Area. "We plan to reinvest these funds in other projects like Poison Creek that inspire partnerships and help keep the ecosystem intact," said Pete Lawton, board president of the Jackson Hole Land Trust.

clinical experience to be a Nurse Educator
0Nov 21, '11 by Tori1626Hello all,
I am an ADN student graduating in December who really wants to continue her education and be a nurse educator. Does anyone have suggestions on areas of nursing to get ecperience in before teaching, besides genreal medical/surgical experience. I really want to be able to be the best teacher possible, so any suggestions would be greatfully appreciated.
Thanks in advance for your time! -
0Nov 28, '11 by Tori1626Quote from AmyARNThanks, there is so much out there, I am still a little overwhelmed. I can see where just about everything would help be a better educator, but it seems a little impossible and impracticle to get experience in everything.In my state, you have to have at least 3 years of clinical experience. However, there is no one setting that is best. I would pick a specialty that you enjoy and later look for a teaching position that encompasses that specialty.

1951 Roadmaster Series 70 | 1953 Series 70 Roadmaster |
1952 Buick Series 70 Roadmaster news, pictures, specifications, and information | ||
Tweet |
Chassis Num: 16695591 | ||
Sold for $52,800 at 2006 RM Auctions. |

Sold for $110,000 at 2007 RM Auctions. |
Buick began with a Roadmaster 72R chassis and incorporated styling inspired by Harley Earl's concept and Motorama cars. The car began a rolling tribute to the design inspirations of General Motors that had transpired in the prior years. The roof was removed in favor of a sloping, padded limousine-styled unit which gave the rear passenger compartment blind quarter roof and rounded window panes. All windows that could be opened and closed, including the center divider window, were given hydraulic power operation. This design had been used on GM Concept Cars.
Modifications and customization continued on the interior. The door handles were replaced with sliding-style handles. The passenger compartment is finished in light blue broadcloth while the driver's compartment is dark blue leather.
All appropriate and available amenities were included in the car. This included a single seeking radio, power brakes, power steering, backup lights, floor heaters, and special ducting to the rear compartment.
Under the hood was a 320.2 cubic-inch straight eight Dynaflash engine mated to a Dynaflow automatic gearbox. The engine was modified to an 8:1 compression ratio and given special camshafts which drove the horsepower to 200.
The car has remained in the possession of General Motors unit it was purchased by its first private owner in 1988. Two years later it was added to the Bortz Collection of concept and prototype automobiles. Nearly two decades later it was sold by RM Auctions at Arizona to the Motorcar Portfolio collection. The car has since been given an extensive restoration.
This 1952 Buick Roadmaster Harlow Curtice Limousine was offered for sale at hte 2007 RM Auctions held in Amelia Island, Florida. The car was offered without reserve and estimated to sell between $50,000 - $70,000. It has four-wheel power drum brakes and a Dynaflow transmission.
It is extremely hard to place value on a vehicle, especially one with this degree of customization. This unique car would be a welcomed entrant at many concours's and automotive events. It is a car that tells a progressive story of General Motors attempts at designing futuristic vehicles that could answer the desires of next generation of automobile buyers. At auction, bidding make a mockery of the estimated values, as it quickly surpassed those estimates and continued to climb. A final bid of $110,000 was enough to secure the vehicles next owner.

The car features a special roof line with a padded limousine style roof and rounded pattern rear door window frames and windows to fit the redesigned blind quarter roof. All exterior windows and the center divider window received hydraulic lifts. A first for GM, it also received hydraulic operated vent windows. All windows were controlled with special switches and panels seen only on other GM concept cars. Similar to the Cadillac El Dorado concept car and unique to 1952, the inside door handles were sliding-style handles. The car has power steering, power brakes, back-up lamps and a signal seeking radio as well as special floor heaters and ducting to the rear compartments. A stunning Cobalt Blue, it features dark blue leather in the front chauffeur's compartment and light blue broad cloth in the passenger compartment with rear area wood graining in dark green. Harlow Curtices' 1952 Buick Roadmaster limousine is truly one of a kind.
The Roadmaster named first appeared on Buick automobiles in 1936 as a celebration of their engineering improvements and advancements in design. The Buick Series 80 became known as the Roadmaster. The Roadmasters were built on the longest wheelbase Buick had to offer. From 1946 through 1957 they were the most elegant and prestigious automobiles that Buick sold.
From 1936 through 1948 the Roadmaster appeared in coupe, sedan, convertible and station wagon bodystyles. A hardtop coupe was added in 1949 and dubbed the Riviera.
The Roadmaster named reappeared in 1991 and continued in production until 1996. It served as a replacement for the Electra model line and offered as an Estate Wagon. A sedan was introduced in 1992.
The end of the 1953 Buick Roadmaster station wagon meant the end of the last wood-bodied station wagon to be mass-produced in the United States. In 1996, the end of the Buick Roadmaster Estate Wagon meant the end of the full-size family station wagons.

There's something truly wonderful about reading a Mike Brophy column.
Taken individually, the things he does – reciting conventional wisdom from a decade previous, presenting one side of an argument but not the other in order to make his points seem much more salient than they really are, presenting arguments without supporting evidence, and restating things everybody keeping half an eye on the game have known for months – are aggravating, it's true. But when one combines all those elements, Brophy stops being a writer churning out bad copy and turns instead into a comic figure, someone who personifies the worst of 1990's hockey writing.
His latest piece starts off considering Ilya Kovalchuk, who managed to avoid a contract on the first day of NHL free agency. He (correctly) notes that Kovalchuk turned down a big-money deal from Atlanta, and he also (correctly) points out that it wasn't a money issue for Kovalchuk. Then he goes off the rails with three comments:
1. "But the question remains: can you win with him?"
Whenever this comment comes up, I'm reminded of something Ken Hitchcock said back when he was coaching the Dallas Stars to back-to-back finals a little over 10 years ago. The question was current at the time, thanks to Brett Hull, a player similar to Kovalchuk in that he was a phenomenal talent, a goal-scorer, regarded as selfish, and didn't win anything over the first decade of his NHL career. Hitchcock pointed out that his team had to carry that question (with regard to Hull as well as Mike Modano and Ed Belfour) over the course of the season, but that it disappeared after they won their first Cup. The fact is that Kovalchuk hasn't been in a position to win anything with the woeful Thrashers, and there's no reason to believe he can't win playing for a better team. Then again, there's also the fact that Ilya Kovalchuk owns three gold medals, the last two of them from beating Canada at the World championships in 2008 and 2009. In 2008 he scored his only two goals of the tournament in forcing the gold medal game to overtime and then winning it, and in 2009 he was the tournament MVP en route to gold.
2. "The Kings need him to sell tickets more than anything else. Los Angeles has just 7,000 season ticket holders."
Broadly, this statement applies to every team in the league: they all need to sell tickets. Los Angeles isn't especially good or bad at selling tickets; they were right around league average this year. More important here is the fact that this was their best season for ticket selling in four years, that they improved sales for the third season in a row, and that they've turned the corner on their rebuilding work. People watch a winning team, and L.A. is a proven market that is almost certain to respond to an improving group with or without Kovalchuk.
3. "And the Devils probably want him just to save face having traded for him."
Leaving aside the fact that New Jersey needs to sell tickets worse than L.A. does (they've been in the bottom third of the league in attendance every year since the lockout, and frequently in the bottom sixth) this is an idiotic statement. One might point out that New Jersey didn't pay an overly dear price to acquire Kovalchuk, but that's a tangential argument. The fact is that Lou Lamoriello has never had trouble cutting his losses when he's made mistakes; rather than grit it out with Vladimir Malakhov he paid the Sharks a first round pick to dump the problem, and when Lamoriello overspent the money available to him, he mercilessly dumped Alexander Mogilny into the minors. The point is, the Devil's G.M. doesn't toss good money after bad; he sees his mistake, and he corrects it, regardless of the optics or the cost.
Thankfully, Brophy's article doesn't end there. There's this paragraph about Flames G.M. Darryl Sutter:
In an attempt to get his team back to the playoffs, Sutter signed Alex Tanguay, who was horrible with Tampa Bay last season, Olli Jokinen, who has been to the playoffs once in 11 years, Tim Jackman, a guy who is expected to fight, but really doesn't like fighting, and [Raitis] Ivanans.
A balanced approach, it isn't.
That isn't to say that Sutter's moves don't deserve criticism (although for me, most of that criticism revolves around what these moves imply about his trade of Jokinen at last year's deadline). Alex Tanguay, for example, signed for $1.7 million. It's true that he had a bad year in Tampa Bay last season, but (excluding last year) since the lockout he has scored 258 points in 280 games – a pace that averages 76 points over an 82 game season. Even including last year, his average point-per-game pace is 0.819, which translates to an average of 67 points per season. Rolling the dice on a guy with that much firepower for $1.7 million is a very defensible move.
As for Tim Jackman, that comment is so good it deserves it's own chart. Jackman spent his first significant time in the show in 2007-08, and here's his fights-per-game rate over the last three seasons, compared with the other big-name fighters signed July 1 (data from hockeyfights.com):
Player | Fights | Games Played | Fights/Game | 82-Game Avg. |
Tim Jackman | 38 | 159 | 0.239 | 20 fights |
Derek Boogaard | 28 | 122 | 0.230 | 19 fights |
Jody Shelley | 42 | 189 | 0.222 | 18 fights |
Raitis Ivanans | 39 | 210 | 0.186 | 15 fights |
John Scott | 9 | 71 | 0.127 | 10 fights |
I presume Brophy had some reason for making that comment, but suffice to say that if Tim Jackman hates fighting, he hides it well on the ice.
turning back to the New Jersey Devils, Brophy recites the hallowed annual argument that Martin Brodeur loses playoff games because of fatigue:
FINALLY: With the signing of Johan Hedberg as the backup goaltender in New Jersey, can we assume the Devils will finally cut back on starter Martin Brodeur's heavy workload during the regular season? Brodeur remains one of the best, if not the very best, goalies in the NHL, but has struggled in the playoffs the past few years, looking a little burned out. If the Devils are smart, they limit Brodeur to 50 games in the regular season and hope he has enough left in the tank to carry the team through four tough rounds of playoffs.
Let's do something a little unorthodox and try some research on this statement. Since the lockout, here is Brodeur's pre- and post-break numbers (excepting 2008-09, where he was hurt) at the NHL level, thanks to the magic of Yahoo's split stats:
2009-10 | 2007-08 | 2006-07 | 2005-06 | Average | |
Pre-Break | 0.915 SV% | 0.919 SV% | 0.928 SV% | 0.910 SV% | 0.918 SV% |
Post-Break | 0.921 SV% | 0.921 SV% | 0.912 SV% | 0.913 SV% | 0.916 SV% |
Difference | +0.006 | +0.002 | -0.016 | +0.003 | -0.002 |
In Brodeur's case, there's a negligible average difference between pre- and post-break numbers, with modest improvements in three of four years and a sharp drop off in one of four years. This fits well with the overall NHL trend, which sees goaltenders who play heavy minutes get modestly better on average late in the season. There's little evidence to suggest that fatigue is responsible for Brodeur's playoff struggles.
Finally, Brophy offers us his insight on the Sheldon Souray situation in Edmonton:
You have to wonder if the Edmonton Oilers acquiring Kurtis Foster and his big shot from the point means they intend to move disgruntled defenceman Shledon Souray. The problem is, Souray wants to play on the west coast and he may not get his wish. If Souray is healthy, he can be a very useful player.
No kidding. After Souray publicly trashed management and requested a trade, it makes sense the Oilers might want to move him. Souray's desire to be close to his family is a matter of public record and has been restated repeatedly over the last year and a half or so. The fact that the Oilers waited until July 1, when Souray stops having a say, is indicative that he may not get dealt to where he wants to be dealt. Finally, everyone knows what Souray brings to the table when he's healthy. What I'm getting at here is that we're not peering through the mists of uncertainty here; everything quoted above is old news or blindingly obvious.

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 Lovey!
Facts about Lovey
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: Gray, Blue Or Silver Tabby
- Age: Young
- Sex: Female
- Hair: Short
Lovey's Info...
I am already spayed, up to date with shots, not good with dogs, and not good with cats.
Sweet Lovey is very social and companionable but wants to be with people and NOT other cats or dogs. Her coat color is dilute torbie. She is about 8 months old and petite, and has been spayed, combo-tested, and is current on her vaccinations.
Campus Cats adopts to indoor-only homes. No adoption fee, but donations help us help more cats like Lovey. Be prepared to bring a cat carrier in order to transport your new family member home!
Contact us at 706-207-1013 or firstname.lastname@example.com to meet her.
Other Pets at Cat Zip Alliance/Campus Cats
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Lovey, a Wakinsville Domestic Shorthair cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Wakinsville, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair cat from a breeder in Wakinsville.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Wakinsville 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 Wakinsville 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 Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Wakinsville paves the way for another one to be saved.

The joy of receiving a 1-star review
"You're sleep-deprived!"
"I do not think that word means what you think it means."
On a Goodreads scale of 1 to 5, 1 being the worst and 5 being the best, it certainly is preferable to receive a 5-star review. And when it's accompanied by lots of lovely words like "Wonderful!" and "Entertaining!" and "Best Book Ever in the History of Books!", well, that definitely is nice.
A lot nicer than the 1-star review spewing vitriol toward you, your characters, and your dog, right?
Yes and no.
The yes is obvious. Every writer on the planet, except for someone like Jonathan Franzen, wants to be loved and appreciated and to have his work revered and praised by critics and readers alike. Isn't that why we publish in the first place - to bring joy to other people? Of course! So yes, I do want those 5-star reviews. Keep 'em coming!
Now, the no.
Someone gives your book a 1-star. She writes how she hated your main character. She hated the story, the plot twists she saw coming a hundred million miles away because that's how obvious your writing is. She also detested the love interest who was boring, the best friend who was also boring or possibly boreing since she was so angry that she couldn't bother with spell check. She had to write three paragraphs of how much she hated your book so that she could spare others the pain she experienced. Oh and yes, she was very glad she got the book as a gift so she didn't have to pay for it.
Is that enough to give you heart palpitations? Sensitive Author! Do not fret. If you feel really terrible, go back and re-read some of the 5-star reviews you got. They're just as accurate. No, seriously, they are.
Okay, done? Breathe easy. Now, embrace the 1-star review. Why? Why? Let me explain:
That reader felt so much after reading your book, she had to tell the world. She had to locate her iPad or laptop, sign in to Goodreads, find your book, go to "review," compose it, and put it up. Those are many, many steps to take. Believe me, I know. I'm a Goodreads member and that's the number one reason I don't write a lot of reviews! It's time-consuming and for a book I didn't care about too much, meh, I'm not going to bother writing anything.
But this reader did! She cared enough to go through all that in order to write and publish her review. Was it nice? No. Was it well-written? Of course not. But she did it anyway! Let's be honest. Today's readers don't have a lot of patience. They are insta-buyers, insta-readers, insta-lovers, insta-haters. They don't have time to give your book a chance. They don't have time to waste. Does anyone? I know I don't. So look at the 1-star review this way: someone took the time to write something about your book. He or she easily could have deleted it from their Kindle and shrugged, meh. And moved on.
So you touched someone. They got annoyed, so don't do it again, but hey, they were touched. Now move on. That's it. Move along and linger no more.

Great half-full glass perspective! I'm bracing myself for Goodreads reviews now that my ARC is out. The other day I looked up Virginia Woolf's TO THE LIGHTHOUSE, which I love, and was relieved to see it averages 3.5 stars. Talk about perspective! Thanks for the 1/2-glass of courage today!

I really appreciate this, because I do feel this way. So, YAY! I'm cheering with you. The review that cuts me to the quick is the one that calls my writing or my story average. For some reason that hurts me the most. Yet, I always appreciate when a reader takes the time to share their feelings.
- October 2, 2013 at 2:34 PM

Julie, ha! I think that way sometimes too when I read them.
Kai, I'm with you. Average is just so...mediocre. :) Glad it helped you.

I'm a reviewer on Goodreads for now. I don't give one star ratings. Well very few. Maybe two, to the same author. I applaud your acceptance of a one star review. Hopefully, they are always constructive, and honestly, I don't take the time to review books I didn't like. But maybe I should. (And Kai I'm sorry I haven't read Super Bad yet!)

Thanks, Heather! I feel the same way about the reviews I give. I figure there are so many people willing to knock someone down, why do I have to add to it? If I don't like, I don't rate.

Carrie Underwood and Chace Crawford have split up, which has now been confirmed by Carrie. She has even went on to say that the Gossip Girl star broke up with her via text message. That's so high school of him to do it that way.
She says, "It was completely mutual. We're both fine. We broke up over text so it's like 'Peace out.' It just didn't work. We both knew it didn't work and no hard feelings at all whatsoever… It's no big deal."
He should've at least gave her the courtesy of telling her in person. I think Chace is a schmuck, but he's a cute schmuck, who is now available.
Ladies, enjoy!
