Otahuna Lodge
Tai Tapu, 7672, New Zealand
Set on 30 acres amid soft, sheep-speckled hills that look like the backdrop for a Masterpiece Theatre production of a Jane Austen heartbreaker, Otahuna Lodge is one of the finest examples of Queen Anne architecture in Australia. The interiors celebrate the Arts and Crafts movement: embossed green-and-gold William Morris wallpaper in the grand dining room; cast-iron fireplace inserts, enclosed by glazed tiles patterned with sunflowers, in the guest rooms. The lodge's romantic, loosely stitched patchwork of arbors, drives, ponds, bridges, lawns, and woodlands so beloved by the colonialists was designed by a man who trained at Kew Gardens in London.

Route Grade Votings

12m. The centre of the first roof is passed with difficulty using well-chalked slots in the roof to gain a flatty above - a great V4 (6b) problem, though the very tall can just jump past it! The final roof is crossed via a strenuous stretch, with good Friend protection and is well worth doing. USER COMMENTS
Poor description of the boulder problem, which only a giant could possibly jump past, the meat of it being the revolting rockover. I suppose the V4 grade is sort of OK for the stupid non-problem to the flatty, but I think Remergence is a grade harder than the arete problem, and so V5. Font 6b often given is a sandbag.
Sandbag or not, it is still a route and the crux is the desperate long reach at the lip. Well protected but a long reach. |

Honda gave the 2014 Honda Odyssey a significant refresh; it went on sale this summer. The exterior design is upgraded, the cabin gets new features, and a new model, called the Touring Elite, transforms the minivan into a premium people hauler. The front end has been revised to perform better in safety tests. The hood and front fenders are also aluminum, off-setting the weight increase...Read more
The Odyssey minivan is a stalwart in the Honda lineup. It has capability and function, and it is popular with families looking for a good value. The Odyssey takes on the Chrysler Town & Country, the Dodge Grand Caravan, and the Toyota Sienna, all tried-and-true minivans that find themselves with a shrinking, though still loyal, customer base. While crossovers and SUVs have encroached on the minivan's customer base, Honda has doubled down on the Odyssey, in the belief that a lucrative minivan market still exists.
Honda has never made any bones about what the Odyssey is: a true-blue minivan aimed at families who need to haul hockey equipment, soccer bags, Labrador retrievers, and at least a couple of kids. Crossover? Get real. Honda has those, and the 2014 Honda Odyssey ain't one of them. It does what minivans have always done, move people and their things. There is seating for eight (only the Sienna also offers that), and even the third row could be described as generous, unlike most SUVs. The seats themselves can be folded flat with relative ease for mattress-hauling, thanks to Honda's so-called Magic Seat.
Honda has continually refined the Odyssey, and as a result it hasn't grown stagnant. In fact, we named it an All-Star in 2012 -- the only minivan to make the list. Honda gave the 2014 Honda Odyssey some updates for 2014, including a new grille and LED taillights for the exterior. There is also a new center stack and upgraded connectivity features.
Power for the 2014 Honda Odyssey comes from a V-6 engine making 248 hp and 250 lb-ft of torque paired with a six-speed automatic transmission. It's the only powertrain offered, but it's fuel efficient and well liked by consumers, netting 19 mpg in city driving and 28 mpg on the highway.

Councilwoman Elizabeth Crowley (D-Middle Village) scored a decisive victory on Tuesday as she earned her first full term representing District 30 at City Hall.
For the second time in a year, Crowley defied nearly two decades of Republican dominance as she handily defeated former councilman Tom Ognibene with 59.4 percent of the vote.
In announcing the win, the Democrat heaped thanks on her supporters gathered at the Woodhaven House in Middle Village.
"I wouldn't be standing here today as the current and future councilmember if it wasn't for everyone in this room," Crowley said to the boisterous crowd.
Crowley's win came as her critics became increasingly desperate — circulating phony fliers appealing to the mostly middle-class white community's worst instincts.
One document, which falsely claimed to be from Crowley's campaign, depicted Gov. David Paterson making a bizarre appeal to black voters.
"Fellow Black Americans: on November 3, 2009, please vote for Elizabeth Crowley," the flier read. "She will make sure that we get our New York City Services."
While Ognibene brought political philosophy to the front of his campaign — promising to fight for lower taxes and smaller government and frequently touts his newfound friendship with Mayor Mike Bloomberg — Crowley largely avoided partisan issues by sticking to the center and highlighting her brief but fruitful tenure as a breadwinner for the district.
Crowley took credit for finalizing the long-awaited rezoning of Maspeth, Middle Village and Glendale — a process she said was stalled after the Dennis Gallagher sex scandal.
"A study was started over eight years ago and almost completed four years ago, but it sat on desks without moving forward at the Department of City Planning," Crowley said. "Part of that was due to poor leadership."
The new zoning law downsized building regulations on nearly 300 residential blocks across the three neighborhoods — a critical effort to preserve the character of these middle-class communities, according to Crowley.
"In record amount of time we were able to pass legislation to rezone more than 300 blocks," she said. "The need for this rezoning was so evident in the overdevelopment that was putting our community in a situation that affected our quality of life and compromised the continuity and the very aesthetic that make up the low-density communities that I represent."
True to her roots in architecture and urban planning — Crowley believes that doing more to remove aesthetic blights will help her district weather the recession. She pointed to recent efforts to reclaim a deteriorating Ridgewood newsstand and convert it into a green space as a small but important step toward making the community more attractive to businesses and consumers alike.
"I think it's an investment, a partnership — making sure they have a vital business improvement district. It's the businesses and the city working together to make sure they maximize resources," Crowley said. "Whatever it takes to improve a district so that people would want to come to spend their money there."
Crowley also boasted of efforts to remove truck traffic on Grand Avenue — a source of frustration for many area residents. She said that work is already underway to reinforce an alternate route that would limit commercial traffic on the congested street.
"DOT has pretty much promised me," Crowley said. "They just need to strengthen one small street near Maurice Avenue."
Crowley was first elected in January, defeating former councilman Anthony Como, serving for the final year of Gallagher's original term.

"Students don't stay at Averett University," says Dr. Pamela Riedel, "for the same reason they first come here. They enroll for all kinds of reasons — they like the campus, they see a lot of opportunities, they like the athletics, etc. — but they stay because they learn that with the help of their faculty members, they can succeed."
Riedel says that the bonds formed between Averett faculty and students are critical to the Averett experience: "We set our expectations high, and then we help our students meet and exceed those expectations. We enable our students; we work with them very personally and we watch them grow. That's the kind of relationship this university is known for, and it is very rewarding to all of us."

She says that teaching in Averett's Education Department gives her a chance to see that education students who truly feel a passion for teaching can become the best they can be. Part of that involves using emerging technologies, a specialty of hers: "Among the tools I want to give them are methods of integrating technology into their classrooms." Click for full Bio

I got the nearly the same problem with my 95 Honda prelude. A few weeks ago. I noticed by brake lamp indicator light came on in the car. So I check the rear and found that the brake light on the driver's does not light up when the brake is pressed.
So, I changed the bulb and still no light, I checked the fuses and still the problem persist. I am frustrated. Should I check the brake fluid? Also, I noticed that when I just start the car the idle (tacometer) bounces back and forth. When I put it in gear it stays at one or between one and two. However, if I take the car on a rigorous drive. Depress the gas pedal to the floor. The idea bounces back and forth when I apply the brake. At time it appears the car is loosing power and about to shut off and the idle bounces below 1 or near there. What do I do? What do you suggest.... |

Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance – Jetstream Sam Review
Though Raiden's adventure may be over, Platinum Games and Konami are keeping Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance going with new downloadable content featuring some of his co-stars. The first add-on gives us a look at Desperado assassin Jetstream Sam, and tells the story of how he came to be a mercenary for hire. Unfortunately, it's not a very interesting tale.
Jetstream Sam's story picks up a short time before the beginning of Metal Gear Rising. Sam has decided to infiltrate World Marshal headquarters in Colorado as part of a training exercise/job interview. It's all very unclear why he's cutting down all these mercenaries employed by Desperado, when in fact he's thinking about joining up with the group. Usually Metal Gear games are over-explained to the point of tedium, but in this downloadable content the story is so bare bones, you wonder if anyone at Platinum or Kojima Productions actually knows Jetstream Sam's backstory and motivations. Part of what made the idea of this DLC so appealing was getting to live a few hours in the shoes of Rising's most compelling antagonist. Sadly, you get more substance from his few appearances in the main game than you do from the hour or so you'll spend with this add-on.
Just because there isn't much meat to Jetstream Sam's story doesn't mean the combat doesn't once again deliver. Sam plays quite differently from Raiden, and it will take some adjustment to get used to the new flavor his moveset brings to the game. His parrying window is shorter (almost to the point of frustration), his attacks are slower, and he doesn't get to use any primary weapons outside of his Muramasa blade. Sam is much quicker to evade, and has new charging attacks to use. This is a character about finesse and patience, whereas even the luckiest button-mashers could make decent progress with Raiden. Trying that same tactic with Sam will almost instantly lead to your obliteration at the hands of Desperado.
It certainly makes playing as Sam somewhat worthwhile, as you can tell a lot of time went into making him a fully realized combatant, even if the same couldn't be said for his character. There are few things as satisfying as completing a nice combo of attacks, and stunning your foes long enough to pull off one of Sam's charged slices. If you time your attacks well, you can absolutely demolish and destroy any enemy in your path with great ease. Miss a parry or two, and forget to dodge, and you'll be restarting checkpoint after checkpoint.
Along Sam's journey, you'll travel through some very similar areas, as the entire add-on is just retreads of Revengeance's levels at World Marshal HQ. Even the boss battles are set to wash, rinse, repeat. First you'll take on LQ-84i (aka Blade Wolf), then Metal Gear Ray, and it all culminates in a throwdown with the Senator. It really is a shame the only new ground uncovered is with Sam's combat, as at least one new fresh area or face could have made all the difference.
Considering how little new content there is in Jetstream Sam, it's tough to recommend this DLC to anyone that isn't an absolute die-hard completionist. It's moderately fun, but doesn't do anything drastically different from the core game, and almost makes Sam himself a bit of a disappointment. Even with a few new VR missions to unlock, there's just not enough here to be excited about.
This review is based on the PlayStation 3 version of Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance – Jetstream Sam. A code was provided to us by the publisher.

What Makes a Man Infertile?
Male infertility, when narrowed all the way down to the bottom line, is based in sperm quality, quantity and motility. It's pretty simple. However, the causes for insufficiency in any of these areas are myriad - with more reasons being discovered regularly. Recently there was some research discussing the effect of soda pop on male fertility, based on a European study of some 2,200 young men in army recruitment.
How are You Living These Days?
Hormonal imbalances, physical problems, psychological and behavioral issues all imply that male fertility has everything to do with a man's overall health. Basically, men who live a healthy lifestyle tend to have healthy sperm. We know that lifestyle choices impact sperm production and you can read in detail about many of them in articles on this site. Below is a list, albeit not all-inclusive, of some negative lifestyle choices that impact male fertility.
· Smoking has been proven to decrease sperm count and motility
· Use of recreational and prescription drugs over a long period of time
· Alcohol abuse
· Anabolic steroid use
· Overdoing it at the gym which causes testosterone deficiency
· Not enough vitamin C and Zinc in the diet
· Tight clothing, particularly underwear
· Hot tubs and hot baths
· Environmental toxin exposure such as pesticides, lead paint, radiation, benzene, heavy metals and others
· Malnutrition and anemia - male anorexia and eating disorders
· Too much stress
Often simple lifestyle changes, dropping old behaviors and adopting new, healthy ones leads to fertility and healthy sperm.
H is for Hormonal
Some male infertility is caused by hormonal problems. In the male anatomy, the hypothalamus-pituitary endocrine system monitors the hormonal links that enable the testes to both produce and disseminate sperm. There are a few things that can go wrong with this system that, in turn, affect a man's fertility.
· An improper release of gonadotrophic-releasing hormone (GnRH) caused by failure of the brain to signal the release. GnRH causes testosterone synthesis and sperm production and if there is no release of the hormone, there is no testosterone stimulation nor sperm production.
· Luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) stimulate the testicles and testosterone and sperm production. If the pituitary gland fails to produce enough LH and FSH then the production of testosterone and sperm are negatively affected.
· Leydig cells in the testicles may not produce testosterone when stimulated by LH
· Sometimes a man produces other hormones that run interference with the sex hormone balance.
5 Hormonal Disorders
There are five disorders associated with hormonal problems in men. These disorders cause a disruption in male fertility.
1. Hyperprolactinemia is an elevated level of the hormone prolactin and is found in 10 to 40 percent of infertile males. When levels are only mildly elevated there is no problem, but when the levels are too high then sperm production is reduced, libido is also reduced and impotence may result.
2. Hypothroidism, low thyroid hormone levels, is sometimes caused by a diet high in iodine. This disorder can create poor semen quality, poor testicular function and can affect libido. Thyroid hormone replacement therapy can elevate sperm count.
3. Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia is a condition that results from a suppression of the pituitary gland by high levels of adrenal androgens. Low sperm count, a large number of immature sperm cells and low sperm motility are all symptoms of this disorder. Cortisone replacement therapy is useful in treatment.
4. Hyprogonadotropic Hypopituitarism is the low production and output of LH and FSH by the pituitary gland. This disorder can potentially cause a man to be sterile. It stops sperm development and causes a progressive loss of germ cells that produce sperm and cells that produce testosterone to deteriorate.
5. Panhypopituitafism is the complete failure of the pituitary gland. Growth hormone levels drop as do thyroid-stimulating hormone and LH and FSH levels. Impotence, decreased libido, undersized testes, and loss of secondary sex characteristics are all symptoms of this disorder.
How Physical Issues Impact Fertility
Physical problems are another source of male infertility. They can interfere with sperm production or cause difficulties in the pathway the sperm must journey to exit the body. Low sperm count and abnormal sperm morphology as consistent characteristics of physical problems causing male infertility. Read about many of them on this site.
· Varicocele
· Damaged sperm ducts
· Torsion
· Infection and disease
· Klinefelter's syndrome
· Retrograde ejaculation
Psychological and Behavioral Ties
Along with all of the previous possibilities for causes of male infertility, there are also psychological and behavioral issues that cause problems. Often it is difficult to divide the physical from the psychological components because they are so intrinsically tied together.
· Erectile Dysfunction affects 20 million men in the US and results from a combination of factors.
· Premature Ejaculation is the inability to control the ejaculatory response
· Ejaculatory incompetence prevents men from ejaculating during sexual intercourse even though they can ejaculate when masturbating
Most, if not all of the issues, conditions and problems cited here can be addressed by a skilled medical professional.

Neil Young to reissue Time Fades Away for Record Store Day
Neil Young is reportedly reissuing his live album, Time Fades Away, on Record Store Day.
The album, from 1973, has long been out of print and has never been released on CD. In 2010, Time Fades Away was listed No 1 in Uncut's 50 Great Lost Albums – a chart if records that were unavailable new or as legal downloads at the time of writing. You can read the Time Fades Away article here..
However, according to an unconfirmed report on Young's fansite Thrasher's Wheat, Time Fades Away will form part of a limited edition box set alongside On The Beach, Tonight's The Night and Zuma.
The set, called Neil Young: Official Release Series Discs 5 - 8, will feature the four albums on 180-gram black vinyl in reproduction jackets housed in telescoping box. it is limited to 3,500 copies. Thrasher's Wheat reports that the albums have been remastered from the original analog studio recordings at Bernie Grundman Mastering. The artwork is a historically accurate reproduction by Young's long-time art director, Gary Burden.
Rolling Stone are also carrying a story which appears to confirm the release.
Neil Young: Official Release Series Discs 1 - 4 was originally released on vinyl in 2009 and contained the albums Neil Young, Everybody Knows This is Nowhere, After The Gold Rush and Harvest. It was subsequently released on CD.
Another, as yet unconfirmed report also says that a live album recorded with Crazy Horse as part of 1986's Live in a Rusted Garage tour, Cow Palace, will also receive a release on Record Store Day - which this year falls on April 19.

Uncut is now available as a digital edition! Download here on your iPad/iPhone and here on your Kindle Fire or Nook.

Avicii: Essential Mix 12/11/10
Early this morning it was Avicii's turn to take on the 1's and 2's for BBC Radio1's highly acclaimed Essential Mix. After both Nero and Wolfgang Gartner nailed their mixes in November, we thought Radio1 might slow down a little in the months leading up to the new year, especially with DJs prepping tracks and sets for the upcoming festival season. We were wrong, as they pulled Avicii, the democratically voted #39 DJ in the world, into the studio. The mix is filled with the typical melodic house that we've grown to love from the 21 year old wonder-kid, perfect to keep our joy in tact as the winter months roll in and we slip into hibernation mode. Below is the tracklist given out by Radio1, but we're pretty sure it's missing songs here and there, so don't totally rely on it. We'll try and find a full tracklist and put it up. But without further ado, enjoy the 120 minute journey into Avicii's psyche.

Special Announcement
Welcome to the new Executive Director Beth Scholz as she assumes leadership for the Health Care Ministry of Princeton
Shown left to right: Outgoing Executive Director Carol Olivieri,Executive Director Beth Scholz, and Assistant Director Mary Bliss
Special Letter to the Editor:
As I prepare to leave the Health Care Ministry of Princeton, I want to take this opportunity to thank everyone in the Princeton Community who has supported our work. Those of us who work in the non-profit sector think of ourselves as people who care for others, who serve others, and who support those in need. We don't think of ourselves first as recipients of caring. Yet if it were not for so many in our community who cared for us, we at the Health Care Ministry would not be able to fulfill our mission of assisting the elderly to remain independent in their homes as long as that is safely possible. If individuals did not give of their time as volunteers, if donors did not give us funding, if foundations did not provide grants, if businesses did not give support, or if other organizations did not partner with us, we would not be able to give.
The board of trustees of the HCM has named Beth Scholz as our new executive director. Beth is very fortunate to work in a community that values service and caring. I'm sure it will not take her long to see and to experience the generosity of the Princeton Community.
Thank you for all the support you have given to the Health Care Ministry throughout the 19 years that I have been associated with it.
Carol L. Olivieri
Executive Director
The above letter was printed in The Packet, Town Topics and Trenton Times
Our Mission:
To assist the elderly to be able to remain independent in their homes as long as that is safely possible.
Who We Are:
The Health Care Ministry of Princeton is a non-profit organization serving the elderly in the Princeton Community. We provide supportive services such as health- and medical-related transportation, food shopping, friendly visiting and caregiver support. Having provided services since 1984, we are very familiar with the needs of the elderly.
Whom We Serve:
We serve the elderly living in Princeton and the bordering communities of West Windsor, Plainsboro, Kingston, Rocky Hill, and the Village of Lawrence. One-half of our clients are in their eighties and one-quarter are over 90. We do not discriminate based on sex, race, or religion. We serve those who have no other source for these services or who cannot afford services. Clients must register before receiving services.

FRET NOT. The New Orleans auditions are live on FOX NOW, where you can watch every musical, magical moment.
American Idol
So Good
You might remember Adam for the way he passed his audition with a broken hand, or for his musical lineage (dude's uncle is Carlos Santana). Jimmy Fallon remembers Adam for a different reason: because they look eerily alike. Watch the comparison here!
We could go on for days about how cute he is; Idol auditioners frequently do! More than anything, Keith is a beacon of authenticity in a business that could always use a little more. Says Jen: "he's all heart…all passion about music."
San Fran, here we come! Season XIV's final auditions — and a boatload of fresh musical talent — await in the city by the bay. Don't miss Idol this WED and THU at 8/7 on FOX!

Welcome to Springs of Life Church and Children's Center!
Springs of Life Church is a Word and Spirit Church meaning we believe that the Bible is infallible and inerrant and to live a successful Christian life it must be led by the Holy Spirit. We are a non-denominational church. We are a very missional church focused on reaching and supporting the community.
We also believe that as the Bible says – Jesus is alive! And so is His work today. The Bible says "God is always at work -John 5:17." Then it models for us how to live life when Jesus says "I only do what I see the Father doing -John 5:19." This is our example for us to follow. This means under the authority of scripture the works of churches and Christians will look different.
Our call among Colorado Springs Churches is fairly unique. God called us to help families and take care of children and we do – with over 250 kids in the Springs of Life Children's Center. It makes church look different and we're excited about that – come see for yourself!

I'm thinking of replacing my carpet with laminate flooring in my condo. I am over somebody and wonder about the noise factor. I'm sure this has improved but was wondering if anybody has any issues with this? My carpet is shot and I have animals and just think it would be so much easier for me when I do clean ups from my cats getting sick, etc. With carpet, it's much harder to keep it looking nice and clean. Lots of people recommend laminate flooring and I'm seriously considering it.
Is there anyway you can make it more sound proof by adding something to the sub-floor? Just curious; I'm thinking about my neighbor downstairs. Also, anybody out there have any comments to make on this type of flooring? I have no idea where to shop for the best deals and what to look for. Another concern was...I have a fireplace that is almost like a wrap around to the corner side. Odd shape and has tile around it. Most neighbors here have just taken the tile out and had the flooring go directly up to the fireplace. I'm not sure that's a good idea. Any thoughts on that? Our condos are shaped funny where the fireplace is...almost on a diagonal angle. Okay, any thoughts and comments are certainly welcomed! Thanks, |
Follow-Up Postings:
I hope someone with laminate experience will come in here and give you some good advice. I have only two comments: 1. Check your condo agreement or check with the condo "board", if you have one. There may be a particular laminate underlayment required. 2. There are many "mass loaded" soundproofing underlayments in the marketplace. Make sure you use one rated for sound attenuation. |
- Posted by raineygirl (My Page) on Tue, Jun 5, 12 at 19:14
Good point glensfc to check with Condo Assn. I know it's allowed because many owners have already changed out their carpet for hardwood/laminate floors. However, if I do so, I want to do the right thing for my downstairs neighbor. It's just me so any noise made will be minimal. I understand that laminate is more durable than actual hardwood and much cheaper so that's why I was considering going that route. Thanks for your input. |
Don't know about the condo noise issue but we had laminate put in where carpet used to be a month ago - love it so far. We have a fireplace in the living room. It has tile around it - about 2 ft out from the fireplace. We removed all the carpet and left the tile. We did not want laminate right against the fireplace. It looks nice that way. If you give me an email address I will send you a pic - not sure how to link it on this site. |
My friend put it over her concrete sub-floor and I couldn't help notice the "tink tink" sound when you walk on it. Her dogs nails made a noise on it too. We put it in our basement over an insulated sub-floor and we don't have that problem. |

"Excellent recipe with one tiny exception. I find that adding paprika to the meat causes the paprika to burn and turn black. I will add it to the sauce next time.
I cook the meat longer as well to help melt more fat, about 16 minutes."

The new governess Maria (Julie Andrews) is introduced to her new wards, the children of Captain Von Trap. They are Leisl (Charmain Carr); Friedrich (Nicholas Hammond); Louisa (Heather Menzies); Brigitta (Angela Cartwright); Kurt (Duane Chase); Marta (Debbie Turner) and Gretl (Kym Kyrath). The evergreen The Sound of Music is produced and directed by Robert Wise from a screenplay by Ernest Lehman from the stage musical with music and lyrics by Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II. Source: Library
Friday, August 3, 2012
Wymondham-based opera company, Livewire, is looking for young people to join them for their 2013 production of The Sound of Music.
The company is on the hunt for youngsters to play the von Trapp children, including Liesl and Rolf.
Susan Booth, artistic director, said: "I want to encourage as many people as possible to get in touch and come along and audition, enthusiasm is just as important if not more so than previous experience. We'll be auditioning the adult parts later in September so anyone interested in those parts also needs to get in touch."
The company will be touring the show around Norfolk from June 21 2013 through to July 13 2013. The idea is to have two teams of youngsters and is a great opportunity for anyone over the age of 5.
Auditions will be held at Parkside School, Norwich, between August 30 and September 1. For further details, call 01603 413037 or email email@example.com

New Jersey Devils Get Marek Zidlicky
President/CEO/General Manager Lou Lamoriello has made another move. The first reaction I noticed on Twitter was how much the Devils gave up. Mr. Lamoriello stated on MSG that he is not worried what we give up, just focused on what we are getting. The Devils acquired defenseman Marek Zidlicky from the Minnesota Wild. He is 35 years old and has a reputation of being the type of defenseman that can move the puck well and become involved in the offense. During his 7 NHL seasons, Zidlicky has had 5 seasons of 40+ points including a 53 point season in 2003-2004 with the Nashville Predators. In his last 2 seasons with Minnesota, Marek Zidlicky has finished with 42 and 43 points. Not bad for a defenseman. Marek Zidlicky also holds a Nashville Predators record of 35 power play points in one season.
The last two weeks across hockey blogs and Twitter, there has been a lot of buzz about Zidlicky only wanting to come to New Jersey. What a player wants doesn't always transpire, but in this case it worked out. I personally feel that it is exciting when players WANT to play for a team – it means they are enthusiastic, energized and ready to contribute. What additionally makes me comfortable with this move is Zidlicky's experience with Elias. These two players have won an Olympic Medal as well as 2 medals in the World Championships with Czech Republic National team.
Marek Zidlicky's NHL Totals: Games 507, Goals 60, Assists 224, Points 284
For more details on the trade, check out a post by Mark on The Faster Times.

I was a little put off by the price, but that was also probably done to offset his cap hit. If he wants to be here and plays that way, it will all work out well.

I need some tips here from the Greater Internet Community, so chime in if you have any suggestions! I'm getting annoyed with comment spam on a couple of the websites I manage:
First, on this WordPress blog—I have been using the IntenseDebate WordPress plug-in which offloads some of the anti-spam processing, eases logins with authentication from many sources (so most users don't have to create a new account they'll never use again), and keeps the comments integrated in the local WP database. However, there are a couple frustrations with it:
Any suggestions for me? I know Akismet is supposedly the unparalleled comment spam plug-in, but is it really up to the hype?
Secondly, I manage a phpBB Forum for a Kingdom of Loathing game clan I'm a part of, and I've had to set the new registrations to administrator-approved only due to the dozens of spammer logins. This means I get dozens of email a day requesting approval, which I promptly delete because I can't keep track of who is legit or not.
So, anyone have any suggestions for a plug-in or other method to prevent comment spam in phpBB?

I did not like this top coat at all. I waited and waited and it did not dry. I finally went to sleep and woke up to find that my nails had gotten dented. I admit that all the fast drying top coats have gotten me spoiled, but this top coat didn't dry even after several hours. I thought this product was expensive since it's about the price of regular OPI polishes and performs so poorly that it is useless.
It does what it says, as in is a decent effective top coat but is expensive in Australia for the amount you get. Not amazing, but not bad either. Will be up to you to try out whether or not this will suit your budget, or if something cheaper might do the same job at a better price.
This nail polish takes a long time to dry, is way too thick and after time gets bubbles in it which looks weird on top of nail polish. The consistency was just horrible. I won't recommend this to anybody.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
What everyone else said. I don't expect my top coat to be completely dry in 15 minutes, but I put this on at 4:00 pm yesterday, used a uv light to dry, went to bed at 10:30 pm, and I still got sheet marks. Ridiculous.
It is strange reading all of the negative reviews. It is the second nail polish that I have ever used and I like it. It makes my nail polish last for 2 weeks. That fact alone makes me put up with the long lasting drying time. I dont have any bubbles either. My first top coat was China Glaze and I hated it because after just two days of wearing it would crack very bad and looked like a cracked glass on my nails. The problem that I have with OPI is that it is sensitive to rubbing alcohol kind of like to the nail polish remover and when you would have nail design with different colors it would smudge the colors. But I really like the 2 weeks lasting effect!
This top coat spreads easily, is not too goopy, and smooths out the layers of polish underneath. Leaves a moderately glossy but not very shiny finish.
It's a decent top coat when the job is finished - IF you have time to wait around for it!! Unfortunately, it takes a terribly long time to dry. I wouldn't go to bed for *hours* after using this. It's bound to leave sheet marks.
Wouldn't buy again, there are better options out there.
I do not like this at all.. It is thick, takes forever to dry and the shine is not overly impressive. Overall it's not bad if you want to wait around for it to dry but I can't be bothered. Usually keeps my polish 3-5 days depending but I don't think it is worth the wait and the price.

Its not impressive. There is no shine and the drying time is incredibly long. There is no smooth finish and its over priced when there are over top coats out there that is cheaper and would do a much better job. Do not buy!
Thankfully I got this in a mini bottle in the neon collection. Always been wanting to get it and I'm so happy I got a mini to try out first.
I won't recommend this to anybody. It's so thick and takes forever to dry. The shine is not as impressive as other. I would recommend SV instead but some do not like the ingredients. Sally Hansen works wonders too as an alternative
I bought this thinking it would be great because they do great nail polish. When applying it, it pulls off your dry colour underneath and then after that it doesn't even dry. I used it in the morning, and it still hasn't dried properly by evening. I can put little dents in it and it starts to pull off if I catch my nail against something hard. Really not worth what it costs and I wouldn't recommend it.

Theater can affirm the brilliance of a work of literature or (at least temporarily) destroy it, so that we leave a production of, say, Hamlet or Measure for Measure wondering guiltily if Shakespeare's reputation hasn't been...well...just a bit overblown. Fortunately, the Hunger Artists' reader's theater production of The Dead gives James Joyce's short story its full due.
The presentation gracefully marries Joyce's words with the presence -- that is, the voices, bodies and souls -- of the actors. There are layers of meaning to "The Dead," and the ensemble skillfully separates these layers, illuminates them and then weaves them back together.
The story describes a party at the home of aging sisters Kate and Julia Morkan and the niece who lives with them, Mary Jane. The reader sees the event through the eyes of Gabriel Conroy, who clearly stands in for Joyce.
There's chat, drunkenness, hilarity, dancing, argument and all kinds of food. Mary Jane plays the piano; Aunt Julia sings with unexpected brilliance. There are a few odd anomalous moments. When Gabriel attempts a light conversation with the maid, Lily, she says bitterly, "The men that is now is only all palaver and what they can get out of you." Does she find Gabriel patronizing or heavy-handed? Is she having love problems? Later, a Miss Ivors rebukes Gabriel for being insufficiently Irish, and he can't decipher whether she's teasing or genuinely angry. These and many other details tug at your attention and remain unresolved (what does the barely-hinted-at argument about whether applesauce should accompany the goose reveal about Mary Jane's relationship with Aunt Kate? Does Gabriel's wife, Gretta, resent his protectiveness?), but they cohere and add texture rather than disrupting. "The Dead" is about many things, or perhaps everything -- love, death, home, the depredations of time, our fumbling attempts to reach out to each other -- but the story is focused and unified. Furthermore, all of these abstract concepts are concretized in specific details: songs, foodstuffs, odd bits of conversation, the galoshes Gretta hates and that Gabriel insists she wear, and -- most of all -- the snow that accompanies every guest into the house and covers the ground outside.
In Gabriel's ambivalence toward his aunts, his vacillations between affection and contempt, you sense Joyce's feelings for the Ireland he grew up in -- how it stifled him and drew him in at the same time. This gives an edge to the joke about grandfather Patrick Morkan and his horse, Johnny, who one day started circling a statue of King William and couldn't be stopped.
The actors sit so close to the audience that you can see every flicker of emotion, hear every catch of breath. The performance takes place at the historic Byers-Evans House, and they are framed by one of the rooms, lamplight glowing on rich, dark wood. You feel you're actually at the party with them, and when a couple of latecomers enter, looking a trifle sheepish, you're surprised to see them joining you in the audience rather than engaging with the actors, so unusually permeable is the fourth wall.
Jeremy Cole's adaption is a skillful one. The actors each take on one or two specific characters; they speak the passages describing or concerning these people in their regular American accents, switching to Irish dialect for lines of direct dialogue. Each characterization is fully realized, but the actors also slip from one character to another with the ease of someone shrugging on a shawl. You get the sense that these performers genuinely venerate the text and that each is willing to subsume him or herself to its demands. And -- in a familiar paradox -- the text gives back fourfold: With Joyce's words in their mouths, these actors transcend themselves.
The group creates the Morkans' party with great gusto. Nancy Solomon, with her husky voice and intense emotional energy, is an engaging Aunt Kate, full of warmth and contradiction. Joan Staniunas intrigues as Aunt Julia, giving the character the fading vagueness we expect, but also a hint of insinuating anger that I don't recall from the story. These two women and Diane Wziontka, as Mary Jane, share a real chemistry. It's fun watching them giggle and gossip, their vivacity threatening now and then to take over the entire production.
Eventually, the party ends. Gabriel, read by Jim Whiteman, observes Gretta (also Diane Wziontka) standing by the stairs, listening, as another guest -- a professional but currently hoarse-throated tenor -- sings "The Lass of Aughrim." Gabriel sees her momentarily as a stranger. He begins to remember moments from their life together and to feel an intense yearning for her. Later, in their hotel room, he finds out how different their thoughts have been -- that where he felt desire, Gretta was overwhelmed with grief. In the story's mysterious and beautiful final lines, he moves toward insight and resignation. Cole's direction here achieves perfect pitch. Though Joyce describes Gabriel touching Gretta and putting his arm around her, the actors don't do these things. They just stand facing each other, and their restraint functions like silence in music or white space in art; there's something extraordinarily moving about it.

First, a little background on Hinduism! Hinduism is indigenous to India and is the third largest religion in the world. It has no founding figure, no single holy text, and no single creed. While it is globally accepted as a polytheistic religion, many Hindus believe themselves to have one supreme and ultimate being named Brahman. There are also three main deities that all express different aspects of this God: Shiva, Vishnu, and Brahma. This is why it is too simple to merely categorize Hinduism as purely polytheistic or monotheistic. The books that Hindus refer to are the Vedas, the Upanishads, and The Great Epics. The Great Epics are the most commonly owned and read books by Hindus and they are Ramayana and Mahabharata.
This past Saturday I had the chance to visit the Hindu Temple in St. Louis with one of my classes. Having little prior knowledge of Hinduism and never having gone to a temple before, my professor prepped my classmates and me with the appropriate knowledge so that we may know what to expect and understand the basics of Hinduism. The men were directed to wear slacks and a nice shirt and the women needed to have their shoulders and legs covered; the longer the shirt, the better. I wore a dress, sweater, and yoga pants. Shoes were of no importance because we took them off almost immediately.
When we first arrived, I was blown away by the ornate and detailed design of the all white temple. It was covered with depictions of different deities on all sides. After admiring the outside for a bit, we entered through a side door and walked downstairs where we removed our shoes and were greeted by a temple attendee. He was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. He informed us that Ram Navami, the service that day, would be placing special emphasis on Lord Rama, the 7th avatar of Vishnu, because it was his birthday. Starting at 7 that night, there would also be a 24-hour reading of the book Ramayana, which contains stories all about Lord Rama. Lord Rama and his wife Sita are considered to be the example of the perfect people and couple because they were considered to have always followed their dharma, or, their highest personal sense of right or duty. This revered couple is often depicted with Lord Rama's brother Lakshmana and devotee Hanuman.
After the man finished speaking to us, we were offered a very sweet traditional Indian food that was considered to be a blessing and we were taken upstairs. This room was filled with shrines for many different deities. Each was decorated with many flowers and some had money placed somewhere on it. Many people were also walking around each shrine so that energy was being sent towards the deity. When walking around the temple you walk counter clockwise so that the deity is always on your right side.
We also observed many people walking up to the shrine, putting their hands close to a small flame and then pulling their hands up to their face and over their heads. This act is called aarti and by doing this they take the blessing for the deity and put in on themselves. If they had small children the parents did it for them. This is most likely seen as a blessing. Many were also going to the priest that was standing in front of Vishnu's shrine and he would put a spoonful of a liquid substance, which appeared to be milk, in their hands which they would drink and then would again touch their hand to their head. This is also probably a form of a blessing.
The ritual began at 12 and we were invited to sit in front of Lord Rama's Shrine with everyone else. While the priest, generally referred to as a Brahman, was chanting what I can only guess to be prayers, he took milk and honey and poured it over a small idol of Lord Rama. Over the duration of about 45 minutes, the Brahman took the flower offerings and placed them all over the shrine, read from what was most likely the Vedas, which contain rituals and prayers to guide the priests, and unwrapped all of the food offerings. He also preformed aarti occasionally through the ceremony, first circling the flame around Lord Rama and then holding it out towards us to take the blessing. This ceremony was mostly in Sanskrit until the end when everyone began singing. Through out the songs they continually said the names Rama and Sita. We then all stood up and many people began taking a monetary offering up to place in a tray. Then, the priest walked around and poured the milk mixture into everyone's hands, including our group, and we all drank it.
Visiting the Hindu temple was a very enlightening experience. It put me in a very unfamiliar situation and required me to be open minded and observant. Since Hinduism is extremely different to anything I know, it was important to step out of myself for the time so I could try to understand the significance of each action and gesture. Although I could not understand what was being said, looking around at the faces of each individual I could tell that this ceremony had great meaning for them.
Much of the above information was from the talk with the temple attendee and from my own observations. The following site was also very helpful for identifying terms for some of the things that I saw taking place and to double-check myself. If you want to learn more, this is a very helpful site!

Textbooks for the new academic year will be ready and distributed before schools reopen, Minister for School Education C.Ve. Shanmugam said on Wednesday.
'Samacheer Kalvi'
Talking to reporters after his first meeting with heads of various departments on the Directorate of Public Instruction (DPI) campus here, Mr. Shanmugam skirted questions related to 'Samacheer Kalvi'.
He, however, promised that the government would ensure that parents, children and schools would have no reason to complain.
To questions on the issue of the fee structure and when it would be announced, he said that once the Private Schools' Fee Determination Committee sent the report, a decision would be taken.
The Minister did not comment on how soon the final fee structure of schools that had appealed would be ready, but added that if need be he would meet representatives of private school managements.
Although Mr. Shanmugam remained non-committal about 'Samacheer Kalvi', which was proposed to be extended across from classes I to X from the coming academic year, sources said that the common syllabus was here to stay, at least for now. With less than two weeks to go for the schools to reopen, officials say it is going to be a challenge to ensure that all books are printed and distributed.
For instance, the Tamil Nadu Textbook Corporation has only received 95 CDs of minority languages such as Urdu, Arabic, Telugu and Malayalam. This is from the total of 132 CDs, says an official. Nearly 62 per cent of the textbooks of classes I to X (Tamil and English medium) is ready.

Do not talk to the police (important advice in New America)
Summary: Today's post is a change of focus. Instead of discussing the evolution of the-America-that-once-was into New America (#NewAmerica), let's talk about how to cope in it. What should you do when questioned by the police? You have identified yourself, and now the questions begin…
- Important advice when on the streets of New America
- One reason we've vulnerable: we're all criminals
- Fear the security services: they're well-armed & eager to use violence
- A historical note
- For More Information
- Hollywood teaches us to love the security services
(1) Important advice for life in New America
The evolution of the-America-that-once-was into NewAmerica has changed almost every aspect of our society. But one aspect more than most. "Law enforcement" agencies become the security services. Less responsive to the public, serving shadowy masters, larger and better funded, more focused on political concerns than crime, far better armed, and more willing (even eager) to use force.
Here is some advice on dealing with them, a presentation by James Duane (professor at Regent Law School and former defense attorney) explaining why you why you should never agree to be interviewed by the police in a criminal matter without your attorney present (transcript here):
(2) One reason we've vulnerable: we're all criminals
The Founders warned us:
It will be of little avail to the people, that the laws are made by men of their own choice, if the laws be so voluminous that they cannot be read, or so incoherent that they cannot be understood; if they be repealed or revised before they are promulgated, or undergo such incessant changes that no man, who knows what the law is to-day, can guess what it will be to-morrow. Law is defined to be a rule of action; but how can that be a rule, which is little known, and less fixed?
— James Madison, The Federalist Papers #62
Madison's fears have come true. See "Counting Regulations: An Overview of Rulemaking, Types of Federal Regulations, and Pages in the Federal Register", Maeve P. Carey, Congressional Research Service, 1 May 2013 — Excerpt:
… the number of final rules published each year is generally in the range of 2,500 – 4,500 … The Federal Register provides documentation of the government's regulatory and other actions, and some scholars, commentators, and public officials have used the total number of Federal Register pages each year as a measure for the total amount of regulatory activity.
Some articles about the million-regulation New America:
- "Rough justice in America", The Economist, 22 July 2010 — "Too many laws, too many prisoners. Never in the civilised world have so many been locked up for so little"
- "One nation, under too many laws", Philip K. Howard, Washington Post, 12 December 2010
- "Way Too Many Criminal Laws, Lawyers Tell Congress", Blog of the Legal Times, 14 June 2013
(3) Fear the security services: well-armed & eager to use violence
It's no longer inner city minorities that need fear violence from the security police. During the past two decades they have become much better armed, and much more willing to use violence.

- Rise of the Warrior Cop: The Militarization of America's Police Forces , Radley Balko (2013)
- See Radley Balko's articles at Reason and the Huffington Post about militarized police, especially SWAT teams.
(4) A historical note
A common rebuttal received when pointing to social trends is "such things are not new". It's a daft reply, but an effective means to minimize the cognitive dissonance of acknowledging unpleasant truths. Almost nothing is new in history. Such as New America, which is a growth (perhaps cancerous) of traits deeply rooted in American history. Such as the law enforcement agencies, with their long history of defending us from minor or even imaginary threats — and reformers:
- union organizers
- civil rights activists
- peace movements
- satanic cults
- communists (even in the 1960s, when perhaps half of Party members wee FBI)
- fake child abuse "discovered" through recovered memories (which brough Janet Remo to fame & power)
- government-manufactured terrorist threats

I guess your spell checker does not like the name Radley Balko, as he is credited three times, all by wrong name, in the above.
He does marvellous work for civil liberties, so good that I have been following his blog for years before the move to HuffPost, even if I vehemently disagree with the rest of his libertarian ideology. On his writings on crime and law-enforcement we can agree.
fish permalink6 August 2013 10:30 pm
Agree completely about Mr. Balko! I've "enjoyed" (although it's tough to enjoy writing by a guy who had "Radley's Nut Punch Fridays" as an honorific due to his reason.com posts regarding police misconduct directed towards innocent dogs) his work for a long time!
Thomas More permalink5 August 2013 3:12 am
Your mention of "government-manufactured terrorist threats" seems particularly prescient, because essentially all of the so-called "terror plots" intercepted by the FBI have been entrapment situations confected by the FBI with materials supplied by the FBI to gullible marginal figures who are in many cases mentally deficient or mentally ill.
See the Rolling Stone article "How FBI Entrapment Is Inventing 'Terrorists' – and Letting Bad Guys Off the Hook" by RIck Perlsteinç15 May 2013.
The "dirty bomber" Padilla offers a case in point. Padilla never had any radiological materials. He never assembled a bomb. All he did was talk. The charges against Padilla fell apart until the government finally backpedaled and charged with conspiracy, the catch-all charge that any prosecutor can get a conviction on. (Conspiring to commit an infraction is a felony. If two people conspire to jaywalk, the conspiracy charge is a felony — and conspiracy is the only charge in which hearsay evidence is permitted.)
"Perhaps the most significant advantage of a prosecutor's decision to charge several defendants with conspiracy is that he may invoke special procedural rules that apply only to conspiracy cases. The major prosecutorial advantages of conspiracy are that it enables the prosecution to join all the conspirators for trial and to use out-of-court statements of each conspirator against all the others."
Source: "Conspiracy – Procedural Rules," online American law and legal reference library.
Google "terror trial U.S. courts" and you'll discover that almost all the American trials of terrorists have fallen apart. Charges get thrown out by judges, mistrials get declared, the government withdraws charges and suddenly decides to charge the defendant with new offenses when the government's case collapses…the plain fact of the matter is that secret laws and secret trials with secret evidence and secret charges are necessary for the government's terror prosuctions because in most cases these terror investigations are so badly botched, producing so little usable evidence which so often fails to support the basic claims made by government prosecutors that when these kinds of post-9/11 terror trials come into open civilian court, the charges are often thrown out or dismissed by the judges.
What's really disturbing is the way this kind of security-force entrapment is now percolating down to lower criminal levels. See, for example, "Undercover Cops Seduce High School Students and Entrap Them into Selling Weed." A 25-year-old undercover police officer enrolls in high schools, gets an 18-year-old honors student to fall in love with her, then asks the student to get her marijuana — and arrests him when he gets it for her.
How long before a commenter on this website suggests "we need radical change in America" and FM agrees, only to be arrested on a conspiracy charge because the commenter was a DHS agent…?
