Chevy Chase and Beverly D'Angelo to Reunite for a TV Show That Isn't a Vacation TV Show
Movie News By Christopher Campbell on January 27, 2015 | Be the First To CommentSometimes you need to let the past be the past and do something original for a change. And sometimes you just need to give us fans what we want. Do we need for Chevy Chase and Beverly D'Angelo to co-star in a TV show that strangely doesn't have anything to do with the Vacation movie franchise? No. Do we want for the duo, best known together as Clark and Ellen Griswold, to just co-star in a TV show based on the Vacation movie franchise? Yes. At this point, why not? They've done so many of those movies, some great and some not, and there's another sequel/reboot on the way focused on grown-up Rusty and Audrey (Ed Helms and Leslie Mann). They've also done commercials as their Vacation characters. A TV show like what ABC has a pilot order for, titled Chev & Bev, is only going to remind us of their iconic pairings. It's time for Chase and D'Angelo to face the fact that as they enter their twilight years this is what they have to do, forever.
Chris Hemsworth and Charlie Day Are Taking a Little 'Vacation' Together
Movie News By Samantha Wilson on August 26, 2014 | Be the First To CommentSometimes it's scary how much people wind up being just like their parents. They try to fight it, but there they are, 30-something years later, dragging their own kids in the trusty family car down the same winding roads that they once had to travel on some wacky adventure. You'd think Rusty Griswold would have learned some lessons back in the '80s after just a few failed family bonding attempts, but the long-gestating reboot of National Lampoon's Vacation is still underway, with a couple new faces now added to the cast, according to The Hollywood Reporter: Chris Hemsworth and Charlie Day. In the new incarnation of Vacation, written and directed by John Francis Daley and Jonathan M. Goldstein, Rusty (Ed Helms) is all grown up and taking his own family (including wife Christina Applegate) on a whirlwind road trip that way or may not have an end goal of visiting Walley World. You think that place is still open? While the details of Griswold 2.0's grand plans are still under wraps, the whole family will play at least some part in the fun and frustration. Chevy Chase and Beverly D'Angelo are set to have cameos as the original Mr. and Mrs. Griswold (Does Clark have anything to do with the terrible idea of going on a road trip again?) and sister Audrey will play some role to the main story, though that part has yet to be cast.
6 Scenes We Love From 'National Lampoon's Vacation'
Features By Christopher Campbell on July 28, 2013 | Be the First To Comment"I found out long ago, it's a long way down the holiday road." Long ago would be 30 years as of tomorrow, because National Lampoon's Vacation opened theatrically on July 29, 1983. Directed by Harold Ramis, the family road movie was written by former "National Lampoon" staffer John Hughes, based on a short story of his published in the magazine. The comedy debuted at the top of the box office, knocking out Jaws 3-D in its sophomore weekend, keeping Return of the Jedi back in its tenth and besting fellow newcomers Krull and Private School. And it stayed at #1 through mid-August. Americans were clearly in love with rising star Chevy Chase, though they may have been even more in love with the relatable premise of a cross-country outing. We may not have known it at the time, but it was also a sign we were in love with Hughes's writing, as both Vacation and Mr. Mom, which he scripted and which opened in limited release a week prior, both were among the highest-grossing comedies of the year, each with a then-remarkable take of more than $60m. Vacation has probably the greater legacy, in part because it kicked off a never-ending franchise (another sequel/reboot is currently in the works for next summer) and in part because millions are still enjoying the original to this day. Very little outside of the model of car and styles of clothing (and some notable political incorrectness) is dated. And the following favorite scenes are […]
Casting Couch: Judy Greer Goes Ape For 'Dawn of the Planet of the Apes,' Clark and Ellen Might Be Going on 'Vacation,' and More
Casting Couch By Nathan Adams on March 29, 2013 | Be the First To CommentWhat is Casting Couch? It's a handy list of the day's casting news. Today we've got a joyous confirmation and some intriguing possibilities, including some huge news about the A-list director Matthew McConaughey may be working with next. So far all of the casting news we've learned about Matt Reeves' Dawn of the Planet of the Apes has regarded actors coming on board to play human characters, but in an exciting twist we now we have a tidbit about who's going to be putting on a motion capture suit to join Andy Serkis' Caesar over on the ape side of the equation. Vulture is reporting that Judy Greer (Arrested Development, The Descendants) has joined the film in the role of Cornelia, the hairy dame who's serving as a love interest for Caesar. If Greer's long history of being solid in supporting roles isn't enough to convince you that she's qualified to pull off such an out there role, Vulture also has a scoop that she had Planet of the Apes-themed toppers on her wedding cake. So, you know, turns out she's a weirdo. Sounds great.
Ed Helms Negotiating to Play Rusty 4 (Not an Android) in New 'Vacation' Film
Casting Couch By Nathan Adams on July 11, 2012 | Comments (1)It's been fifteen years since Chevy Chase's Clark Griswold packed up the family for the last National Lampoon's Vacation movie, probably because that most recent attempt at cashing in on this comedy franchise didn't go so well. New Line seems to think that there's still some juice left in the formula however, because they've hired Horrible Bosses scribes John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein to co-write and co-direct a new entry in the franchise. This isn't set to just be the same old Vacation movie where Clark and Ellen (Beverly D'Angelo) take their teenage kids on some sort of oppressively family oriented adventure though. The characters are finally being allowed to age, and the lead of the film is set to be an adult version of Rusty Griswold, who will be taking on the duty of being head of family leisure planning.
30 Things We Learned From the 'National Lampoon's Vacation' Commentary
Commentary Commentary By Jeremy Kirk on April 6, 2012 | Comments (2)Holiday rooooooooooad. Come on. You know the words. It's that time of year when the weather is starting to heat up, families are planning their yearly excursions to the greater parts of the world, and the highways of this great nation of ours are going to be filled with Family Trucksters. What better time than to visit the original cross-country, family quest for fun? That's right. We're talking about National Lampoon's Vacation. Not only was I shocked to find there was a commentary track on this 20th Anniversary Special Edition, but it contains director Harold Ramis, producer Matty Simmons, and most of the Griswold clan, Cousin Eddie included. Sadly Beverly D'Angelo didn't make this trip, but our hearts and prayers are with her. As for the rest of the tribe, they give us more than our fair share of Vacation trivia, insight into the filming, and overall good times that are had by all. As Clark W. Griswold once told his son, Rusty, getting there is half the fun, so let's get there already, shall we? Praise Marty Moose.
Writers Taking a 'Vacation' Remake After Dealing With 'Horrible Bosses'
Movie News By Scott Beggs on February 28, 2012 | Comments (1)According to Variety, the John Francis Daley and Jonathan M. Goldstein writing team whose been crafting the words behind a remake of National Lampoon's Vacation are now in talks to direct the film. It would be the first feature directing job for both, even though no amount of movies can make Daley not the guy from Freak and Geeks. It's being produced by David Dobkin over at New Line, and at the very least involves the high concept of good old Rusty Griswold takes his loving family out on the road. Who knows what adventures they'll get into from there. So why pick two newcomers to the directing game? Because they have a strong short film resume. Their latest is Audio Tour which features Will Forte as a man who leaves a museum with his tour guiding headphones still on and learns way too much about the world around him.

Discuss: Would You Go On Another 'Vacation' With Chevy Chase?
Features By Scott Beggs on November 19, 2009 | Comments (7)Sometimes I feel like I'm just getting back from Wally World. I'm tired, irritable, and there's an unseasonably high urine count in my sandwiches. But with the news that Chevy Chase and Beverly D'Angelo are teaming up for a Superbowl commercial, I have to wonder if we should really be saving up for a real family vacation. Don't get me wrong. I love Superbowl commercials because 1) they are a colossal let down and 2) I'm usually watching the Puppy Bowl instead (after the NFC championship, don't we sort of already know who's going to win the Superbowl?), but I would much rather see that dynamic duo hit the big screen again. I know I'm usually pretty negative toward the lack of creativity that this decade will be marred by, but if we're in for a penny, why not be in for a pound? Let's just sequelize everything. All of it. Some possible downsides to a National Lampoon's Vacation sequel in the here and now: National Lampoon, like the magazine that spawned it, has become one of the least funny producers of The Funny around. With John Hughes gone, who could possibly write it? Year One Some urine-soaked food for thought. What do you think?

Breakfast Topic: What WoW title would you choose in real life? {WoW}
Jan 10th 2012 11:13AM Well played. I never thought of the Jenkins title that way!
Cataclysm Post-Mortem: Uldum, page 2 {WoW}
Dec 12th 2011 6:14PM I agree. I went from Vashjir, "OH MY GOD GET ME OUT OF THE WATER BEFORE I HAVE A FREAK OUT MOMENT," to a small amount of Hyjal, to Uldum, which indeed was a nice change of pace.
Cataclysm Post-Mortem: Uldum, page 2 {WoW}
Dec 12th 2011 6:12PM I agree. Vashjir was fun the first time, but extremely disturbing as a claustrophic person. I did it all in one day, for the most part, and I kept wondering, "How am I getting back to the surface!? Am I EVER going to see the surface again?"
Perhaps that was intended.
But I loved Uldum. I loved the art, I loved the quests. I loved being with Jones, I loved Brann at the end. I loved the Egyptian-esque stuff. I love the desert. I love the mystery.
I wish the bandits were played up a little more, though.
Two Bosses Enter: Ishanah vs. Brann Bronzebeard {WoW}
Dec 12th 2011 5:59PM I lol'd in real life.
Two Bosses Enter: Ishanah vs. Brann Bronzebeard {WoW}
Dec 12th 2011 5:57PM I don't think Deathwing is the bringer of the end. It surely is Brann Bronzebeard. Certainly, if you combine the spontaneous about of mayhem that swirls around him on a daily basis, combine it with his awesome beard of mighty awesome-ness, sprinkle in a little obliviousness, and stir that all together, you surely have a cocktail made for disaster.
For every moment that Brann "accidentally" discovers the booby-trap, I have already been screaming, "It's a trap!" because I know what will happen with Brann and the shinies he can't help but inspect. The poor Aldor priestess, as powerful as she may be, would hesitate before commencing an attack upon Brann, and by then, Brann's already sprung at least half of the mysterious traps laid about him.
As a hopeful archaeologist to be, I find Brann's character to be both fitting and a little offbeat. Fitting, in that he depicts how an archaeologist can become instantly swooned by the sights around them, the context of the artifacts, and then perhaps immediately spring the temple's defense systems. He's offbeat because he never gets hurt (because there's a magical group of five people who will begrudingly say, "Oh, there he goes again! That devilish old dwarf!" and save the day), whereas a real archaeologist would probably be killed several times over.
But that's a topic for another day.
The question is, who exactly is more oblivious than Brann Bronzebeard, and thus, could out-oblivious the king of obliviousness?
The Queue: Winter Veil is coming {WoW}
Dec 12th 2011 1:51PM I love the RF...
But I am forced to put my computer on low-quality graphics, without any addons (except for recount), and I STILL lag.
I don't know if it's my computer or WoW, but it sure makes the RF kind of that, "Well, I'm kind of doing what I can to help, but I'm kind of lagging ninety percent of the time, so my dps kind of sucks, but, oh hey! Look! I didn't die! And my gear dropped! Awesome!"
I feel guilty and strangely happy, to see the end content as well as gear up, but in a very bittersweet way.
The Queue: Get angry! Get mad! {WoW}
Dec 7th 2011 2:02PM Oh!! My history major agrees with you! How awesome, two things I love wrapped together in a pretty bow.
It's like Christmas already!
The Queue: Get angry! Get mad! {WoW}
Dec 7th 2011 11:46AM Well sure, most good guys turned bad guys do sound a lot like "x-villian."
But I don't know. Benedictus struck me as being a little too similar to Sidious...
Or maybe I've been watching too much Star Wars.
The Queue: Get angry! Get mad! {WoW}
Dec 7th 2011 11:07AM Am I the only one who finds that Archbishop Benedictus sounds a lot like Darth Sidious? He even becomes all ugly after tapping into the "dark side" of the Light.

Created: 12/06/2013
AS REPORTED last week, Sh Ch Vbos The Kentuckian, the Flat-coated Retriever breed CC record holder and Crufts BIS winner of 2011, has died, just a few months short of his 12th birthday, writes Bonnie Scougall.
Jim Irvine, Jets breeder and handler, said he became unwell at the weekend and by the early hours of June 3 had become extremely stressed due to irreversible respiratory problems.
The decision was taken to have him put to sleep to prevent further suffering as he was becoming progressively worse.
Jet was whelped on August 30, 01 by the dual CC winner The Sorcerers Apprentice From Jaeva ex Sh Ch Vbos Lady From Louisiana. Mr Irvine kept a bitch from the litter but he also liked one of the males. It was agreed that John (Jock) Ross, a close friend with whom Mr Irvine travelled to shows, would have him Jet in joint ownership with Mr Irvine.
A slow maturer, Jet did not achieve a lot of success as a youngster, gaining just a few firsts in junior. Jock died in December 03 so Jet then lived with Mr Ross son Iain. He was transferred into Mr Irvines sole ownership and he continued to show him.
Jets first CC came at WELKS in April 04 and he gained his crown at Manchester 05. He continued to win consistently and was BOB at Crufts 08 when he was also shortlisted in the group. He was breed leader in 07 and 08.
In 09 at East of England ch show, at almost eight, he won his first group and went on to secure BIS. He was only the second of the breed to gain a UK all-breed BIS, the first being his ancestor Ch/Ir Ch Shargleam Blackcap.
This set Jet off on the road to many top-flight awards.
Later in 09 he was BIS at National Gundog, a show at which he had twice been RBIS, and also G3. He topped the group at Paignton and went on to RBIS. He also won the group at Scottish Kennel Club in August and the Gundog Society of Wales.
Top gundog
Success at the highest levels continued in 10 and he won the group at Blackpool, Welsh KC where he also went RBIS, SKC in August, Richmond, South Wales which again was accompanied by RBIS and he was BIS at Gundog Society of Wales for the second year running. He was also BIS and RBIS at the United Retriever Club.
Jet was top gundog in 10.
In 11 he won the group at both Boston and Manchester and then triumphed in the group at Crufts under Ron James before going on to claim the ultimate award of Crufts BIS from Paolo Dondina. He was the oldest dog ever to achieve this.
This presented Mr Irvine with a dilemma: Jet was very close to achieving the breed CC record, but should he continue to show him or retire him at the top? He decided to enter him at another couple of shows as Jet was still enjoying being in the centre of the show ring. This decision certainly paid off, as on his home ground at SKC in May 11 he won his 64th CC awarded by 61 different judges during a consecutive eight-year period. This was his 15th group win, and he then went on to gain his third all-breeds BIS under Mike Gadsby. He was then retired from the ring.
Jet has not been used extensively at stud but has sired titleholders in Finland and the US. In the UK, he has sired a full champion.
Mr Irvine said: "It was with great sadness that we had to say goodbye to Sh Ch Vbos The Kentuckian due to irreversible respiratory problems. Jets illustrious show career has been well documented in the past, but many people may not realise that it was also a very long one, winning CCs over eight consecutive years (04-11).
"He was a remarkable dog who loved life to the full, both in and out of the show ring, and never gave you less than 100 per cent. It was a pleasure and a privilege to have known, bred and handled this unique Flatcoat.

HI newbee, wanting to know more about saving seeds from cosmos. I have some we planted from a seed pk we bought, soo pretty shades of pinks, we loved them! We wanted to know how to save the seeds from them so we can grow more.
Some of the flowers are dying off now, petals wilting & even beginning to fall off. How do we save the seeds? Thanks a lot! |
Follow-Up Postings:
After the petals fall, the seeds will start to mature and then turn brown. You will want to wait until they are brown b4 harvesting them. If you scroll down to the very bottom of the link below, you will see the seeds head (not a very good pic) and the seeds after harvest. Sue |

It's been a busy six months for Matthew Riley, CEO of Lancashire-based telecoms company Daisy Communications. Since winning a £5m interest-free bank loan in the 2007 north region final of the Bank of Scotland Corporate Entrepreneur Challenge, he has wasted no time in using the money to buy two other companies. That takes his total number of acquisitions to 16 in two years, during which time turnover has increased from £33m in 2007 to a projected £54m in 2009. "The loan has helped us get the company into a fantastic position," says Riley, who went on to win the national final and pick up a "money can't buy" prize of four days mentoring with billionaire retail tycoon Sir Philip Green.
The acquisitions are all part of Riley's strategy to consolidate the fragmented telecoms reseller market and position Daisy as the natural alternative to BT in small to medium-sized enterprise (SME) communications.
He saw an opportunity to provide a multi-product service-fixed telephone lines, mobile, data, broadband—that was more customer-focused. "When you're trying to run a business, the last thing you want to worry about is your telecoms," he says.
The business, which started life in a friend's office with two PCs and a fax, now operates from a 20,000 sq ft office complex and employs more than 120 people. The first six months were spent gathering feedback from potential customers, writing a business plan and putting in the foundations that have helped facilitate Daisy's phenomenal growth. According to Riley, it was tough financially, but worth it. "I ate into my savings as I wasn't earning a wage—every penny we made was ploughed back into the business."
A former YTS trainee, Riley offers training opportunities to others on the same scheme. "I have built the business with young, local people—I couldn't afford experienced staff, so I took on YTS trainees and moulded them into the business," he explains. Based in Riley's home town of Nelson—which suffered both economically and socially following the decline of manufacturing—the company has a policy of offering much-needed employment to local people. "What you get with that is loyalty. If your back is ever against the wall, people stay behind and help," he says.
Riley understands the importance of having the right people around him—particularly at a time of fast growth—something he greatly admired in Sir Philip's management team when he shadowed the retailer at his Arcadia headquarters. Riley felt gratified to see Daisy was already mimicking some of Sir Philip's strategies, including a fairly flat management structure and a hands-on approach.
But he has also taken some new things on board—such as the detail in which Sir Philip's team refers to daily sales and forecasts. "It was amazing to see the speed at which they can pull up this information," says Riley.
With his plans to increase current turnover to £500m over the next three years, maybe one day Daisy will mimic Arcadia's profit reports, too. Riley's certainly not counting pennies anymore.

Ipath Cat Mid Vibram Shoe - Men's
mid-cat vibram nubuck
I got these shoes for wearing out in the cold. They are exceptionally comfy. The leather is bombproof, any dirt that gets on them wipes right off. I really like the soles on these things, there crazy grippy even when their covered in road sludge. The leather does wrinkle but it just makes your shoes look well loved. If you want a awesome pair of shoes look no further..

Posted 05 July 2012 - 04:50 PM
It's not on the FAQ yet, but it's been answered officially by FFG.

Good to know. Their seems to be allots of errors with the SSU. I am relatively new to Dust Tactics.
Were their as many errors when they first produced the Axis and the Allies?
Posted 05 July 2012 - 07:13 PM
yes, but most were not very blatent or were due to retcon of old rules.

I don't recall any misprints with the original set . I did receive the email from Zac that the units should save on blanks, also, surprisingly, they don't get Agile though like ther counterpart.

Panzer Soldier - after release of the RCS IMO the lvl of DT and DW pblishes lowered. Minis are worser, a lot of bad finished faces or missing parts ( i didn't recived the dragon sticker on half of my fireball), and cards seem to start getting a lot of printing errors. I guess it's beacouse the game got known better and the demand for minis increased a few times. Due to that the process of creating both units and cards needs to be done quicker and the quality looses on it.

Thanks, I suspected as much. I wonder if they will ishue reprints for the botched cards?

Like items being sold not being as described?
I bought a lot of fancy tuberous begonias from them last year. I really wanted some fancy picotee varieties. They were nothing like the picture, though. White and pink-edged like the photo on their site, but they all had non ruffled, odd long skinny petals. Borderline ugly, really. I ordered roseform ones too, those were okay. But the whole purpose of the order was to get the picotee type. I ordered about 20 bulbs, and none of the picotee types were as pictured. Cross post to Begonias (though most there deal with non-tuberous types). |

I've received several orders from Easytogrowbulbs.com and I've been pleased with the quality of the bulbs. They also seem careful not to ship tender bulbs when they might freeze in transit. I haven't ordered any begonias. |
I have ordered several times and have been pleased with the bulbs and the service. Have never ordered tuberous begonias from them. Did you contact them? Al |
Yes, I'm in the process of that now. I sent an email and pictures of one yesterday. Because they were weird looking flowers, I didn't really take many pictures, compared to what I normally take. I saw they are highly rated on Garden Watchdog. I figured they didn't know they had a batch of odd ones. I'll post an update afterward. I looked up some of the varieties online yesterday, and saw several vendors selling the exact same types, with the same photos. So I don�t know who the breeder is. |

I didn't think I had a problem... until just this week. Last autumn I ordered Calla Lilies they claimed were hardy to zone 6. I learned that's not true, it's zone 8. Also, I ordered a type of narcissus that is certainly NOT what's growing out there. I ordered replete (16", white, late spring bloom)... what's growing is SOME TYPE of dwarf daffodil, 5" high, with large yellow buds already.. Glad you asked this... Amy |
Amy, calla lilies are supposed to be zone 8, & they were wrong in saying zone 6. Still, I'm zone 6 & callas return for me every year & bloom. They do need very well drained soil I think, to return well here. Maybe yours will come back. Sounds like your daffs are definitely wrong, although I believe Repletes are pink. |
I've got Callas that return for me each year. The white ones do seem to be the hardier varieties. (I like Flowers and Greens, do be warned, their Alstroemerias are too tempting to pass up. ~Chills |
When a seller works with dozens of growers from all over the world there are bound to be a few bulbs that get mislabeled or sneak into a batch of the wrong color. And there's no way for a seller be able to tell that something's amiss. As for hardiness zone info, this often comes from the grower. (I used to be in the plant business.) So, sellers trust the growers to know best what the specifics are for the plants they're providing. If the grower says a particular variety exhitis extra hardiness, the seller believes them. After all, the grower has field experience with the plants they sell. |
That's why I wanted to know if this was a regular problem. For the picotee begonias, each one of a pack of three was wrong. I do realize that they all look alike in the bulb/corm stage :) . I have been in touch with them, and they offered to replace those, with me paying the shipping. I'll do it, and see what happens. I did shoot a few pictures of the oddballs and sent it to them. |

Hi ladies, I guess I am curius if anyone out there has ever heard of or found a support group in their area for all this Peri and full blown menopausal crap? lol. I find it rather funny that the only doc I have seen through out all of this crap going on that seemed to know anything about these symptoms being caused by menopause was a neurologist. A man at that. He was not nice caring or even concerned but he is the first one that told me it was menopause symptoms. By the way for those of you that remember my story, I stopped taking the topomax the night I put my husband in the hospital and havent taken it since. I think it was making the symptoms worse. I have went almost two full weeks without a eye thing and then today I woke up with the off balance thing again and had to keep refocusing my eyes. Not a good thing since my husband still cannot drive and I have to be his driver. lol.I think I am getting close to what should be my monthly time tho so I am wondering if the hormones are off kilter again. lo. It is a never ending process. I DO HAVE TO SAY TO ALL OF YOU.. THANK YOU !!!!!! I actually thought i was going to die of some horrible disease until I found this forum. Thanks to all of you i know know when these things start that I can calm down and just do what that butt head neuro guy told me to do... SET BACK AND ENJOY THE RIDE.... yeah right.. we all know if it was a man that had to go thru this stuff someone would find a fix for it.. lol.. |

Hi figgittts how ru you chick hope you are feeling ok at moment , i too get convinced im dying all the time from some awful disease so i come on here and calm myself down i come on here most days because it actually helps me to know im not alone and im not going insane lol. |
Hello...yes, you are not alone here! :-) I've been going through it for 2-3 years. Some months worse than others. Last spring went pretty well then in July insomnia again. I've been suffering with it ever since. Cannot sleep for more than 2 hours and some nights that's all I get is 2 hours. It's wearing me down and I worry about the constant fatigue leading to other health issues. I just keep hoping that it will come to an end sooner...rather than later. But it's nice to know I can come here and chat with other women who are in the same place. Might be different symptoms but we're all fighting to keep out sanity through this. |

You might recall the time immediately following the lockout that we affectionately refer to as the New NHL.
Boy did everyone hate the Old NHL. Slow and boring and defensive as hell and guys getting mugged along the boards or through the neutral zone. Thus, the league insisted that, after the lockout, to make people care about the sport again, it had to start calling the pettiest of stick infractions every time they happened. Hooking, or, as officials in the 2005-06 season called it, making the slightest bit of contact on an opponent with a slightly elevated stick, was called more than twice as often as it had been in the five seasons preceding the lockout. And this, predictably, led to a lot of power plays, which in turn led to a lot of power play goals. (The puck over the glass rule helped too, but not as much as you might think. It is, of course, fairly difficult to calculate the effects of the "no change after icing" rule being put into place.)
The point, I guess, is that in the immediate wake of the lockout, the number of goals per game jumped to 6.17 from 5.14 in 2003-04. Was it a cheap way to do it? Yes. Was it an effective way of artificially increasing offense without fundamentally changing too much of the game? Sure. People, they tell me, like goals, and so the NHL provided them in droves, at least compared to the previous half-decade, and that trend continued, somewhat for the following few years.
But what many have noted is that since about the 2009-10 season, goalscoring has plummeted. That 6.17 per game number was never sustainable and games were taking far too long to complete, but after a 26.8 percent increase between '07-08 and '08-09, things got decidedly quieter.
Now, it's no revelation that goalscoring is down league-wide. In fact, the two teams in the Stanley Cup Final last season were the two best defensively, and that was for a very good reason: they were very focused on defense, and built their offenses out from there. But in doing so, they were also dominant in the attacking zone. Vancouver had the best offense in the league at 3.15 goals per game. Boston was fifth at 2.98 per. So even though these were two stalwart defensive teams, fans tuning in for the Cup Finals were more or less also promised goals (not that they got it though, as probably no one counted on just 31 between the two of them, the result of four shutouts, in seven games).
That, however, wasn't the death of arcade, goal-ridden hockey as Bettman and Co. envision it at every Camp Shanny every summer.
Apart from the fact that it's really going to piss off the Canada-based "every team should be in Canada/no teams should be in the American South" crowd — and is therefore the best possible thing in the world — the Los Angeles Kings and Phoenix Coyotes meeting in the conference finals, with one of them guaranteed to advance to the Stanley Cup Finals, assures us that, barring another re-emphasizing of certain rules to a ridiculous extent in the event of another work stoppage, that even-slightly-offensive hockey has gone the way of the dodo.
LA is in the Western Conference Final despite finishing the year 29th in goals per game at just 2.29, and snuck into the postseason, not surprisingly, by only allowing 2.02 per game, second-best in the NHL. Phoenix, meanwhile, was fifth in goals allowed, and just 18th in goals for. The teams they dispatched in the second round finished first and 10th in team defense, respectively, and 21st and eighth (anomalous!) in team offense.
With this in mind, we can pretty well assume that there probably won't be too many goals to go around in the West finals, especially considering the teams are — wait for it… — first and second in playoff defense, both allowing fewer than two goals per game. Yes, Los Angeles picked apart the Blues' best-ever single-season defense in the last round, but that was with their No. 1 goaltender replaced by Brian freakin' Elliott and their Norris candidate No. 1 defenseman on the shelf as a result of a dirty hit by a Kings scrub in Game 1. Certainly, their 3.0 goals per game doesn't reflect the quality of the offense they got so much as the quality of defense the Blues didn't.
Neither Mike Smith nor Jonathan Quick seem particularly interested in hearing what opposing offenses have to say about their work, and this series certainly has the look of one that will see each of its seven games (because you know it's going seven) 2-1 or 3-1 with an empty netter. How does either team put more than that past the other?
But okay, you're saying. Maybe the Western Conference Finals will be a bit dull, but the team out of the East can probably save it, right? Well, funny you mention it. The Kings and Coyotes are 1-2 in team defense this postseason, and guess who's No. 3: it's the Rangers. No. 6 is the Capitals. And we're already hearing from plenty of critics that their shotblocking antics are ruining hockey for purists everywhere or whatever the poorly-articulated problem they have may be.
This is the league we have these days, like it or not. You can either complain about it, deal with it, or learn to love it. But what people have to understand about defensive hockey is that it's not, inherently at least, boring hockey. Sure, it CAN be boring. The first Caps/Rangers game was dull as they come, but there were a total of six goals in the final three games between Nashville and Phoenix, and that was some exciting hockey. My hope is that this hockey that's going to be played over the next two weeks is both ultra-defensive and ultra-exciting. While idiots will look at the scorelines and decide, sight unseen, that these were boring games, it will vindicate this as an entertaining form of the game.
And I'll be the only one watching.

Make a few sweet treats with your kids at Christmastime, or surprise them with an after-school snack. Frost regular cupcakes with vanilla frosting, stick a red jawbreaker or gumball onto a straight candy cane with some frosting, and you have the North Pole. The North Pole tags are available as a download here.
These kits are an easy way to make your cupcakes look festive in a snap. Am I the only one who forgets until the last minute they signed up to take a dessert to a holiday party? Now no one will have to know.
This is one of my favorite cake stands. It's sturdy enough to handle being accidentally tipped over (or dropped on a soft surface), and the bright blue color is sure to bring a smile to a child's face. It's perfect for displaying all of those yummy treats you'll be making.
If kids are going to help in the kitchen, make it special and keep their clothes clean. This owl apron is made of laminated cotton for easy clean up — bonus!
Nothing is easier than making a dessert from a box, and your kids will still have a blast helping you stir the ingredients. You can find gourmet kits at inexpensive prices that will wow your taste buds.
Let your kids help you wrap presents for friends, relatives and neighbors. Practice makes perfect with this job, so the younger they start and the more experience they get, the sooner they'll be wrapping those gifts like a pro.
Sometimes elegantly wrapped presents are, well, too boring for kids. You can make their presents fun with some kid-friendly labels. Plus, these letterpress tags are sophisticated enough to keep you happy.
Small children love decorations, so for many years we didn't have any ornaments on the lower half of our Christmas tree. If you like a fully decorated tree, look for soft and durable decorations that kids can touch and not break. I adore this wool, felted ornament. I wouldn't want my kids to play with this gorgeous decoration, but it definitely wouldn't break if they did.
If you want to make ornaments with your kids, simple and inexpensive kits are available online. These are great ideas for school parties as well.
Hang real candy canes on your tree. They will be fun and colorful, and it won't matter if they break. Just don't be surprised if you find a few half eaten or missing.
You can also use those gorgeous candy canes to fill a cute stocking. Around our house, Santa likes to add fun toys and extra presents to the kids' stockings for some added excitement.
When you're a kid, it takes forever for Christmas to finally get here. To help the time pass, buy or make a simple advent calendar. Fill small socks and mittens with little gifts for your children to open each day as they countdown the days to Christmas.
If you're going to go outside in the winter, make sure those little hands are covered — and looking cute! Handmade mittens are always in style and easy to find online.
If you live in a snowy area, you know how cold your hands can get during a snowball fight. I wish I had one of these snowball makers when I was a kid.
If you think snowball fights are in bad taste, then put your snowy skills to work building a snowman. There are lots of kits for dressing your snowman, or you can use items from around your house. My kids will stare out the window at their snowman friend for days as he slowly melts away.
If you want to take your outdoor experience up a notch, you can take the kids sledding. It's always a thrill, and the basic plastic sleds that I grew up using have definitely been improved.
My kids and I decorate gingerbread houses every year. It's a great way for all of us to express our creativity, but don't be surprised if the candy slowly goes missing.
Powdery hot cocoa is definitely the easiest to make, but if you'd like to give it a try, making hot chocolate from scratch is fun and rewarding. My kids prefer the instant gratification of the powder, but they never complain when I make the real stuff.
There are lots of recipes online for making your own homemade marshmallows (or you can always pick some up at the gourmet food store). Try using cookie cutters to make cool shapes for a little fun in your hot chocolate.
Hot chocolate, and almost any other drink, tastes better with a colorful straw. Your kids will love the bright red stripes. My favorite trick is to trim the straw with scissors so that it's more proportional to the cup.

I doubt I will ever purchase another Fushia. It was so beautiful and then so ugly. They are way too tempermental and expensive. Trying to figure out what was wrong was a pain in the tail. From now on it will be the old standbys for me. It was too sad to see it just steadily go down hill. I tried to do all that everyone posted but.....ARGHHH . My gardens are so beautiful and lush. I always thought I had a green thumb, but not with a Fushia. God bless you who have the patience with that plant. |

Im so sorry to hear this. if you ever change your mind, there are some work horse, easy care ones that would do well in any situation. "June Bride" is one of these. i am sure there are others in your local. I dont think every one is as easy as the next. some grow no mater what I do, and others I cn never over winter. when I was at a yard and garden show in the spring I was talking to one of the local fuschia society folks, they seemed nice. I guess If I were you and I changed My mind, Id look them up on line and see if you could go to a meeting and "Pick thier Brains" about which one would work best in your specific setting. these can be so rewarding, but we do each loose some sometimes. |

I always say "never again" with fuchsia, but every year they are blooming so beautiful in the garden centers. I end up with at least one. This year I bought 2 in May. I keep them on my (roof) covered front porch. They are always thirsty and will wilt if not provided enough water. I water them even when they don't look like they need water. They haven't bloomed as beautifully as they did when I bought them. I've feed a few times with 20-20-20 and they have a few blooms... My next trial is feeding with rose food or a bloom booster and feeding more often. It's been over 100 degrees here for the past couple weeks and I've managed to have only 1 wilting episode, so I'm trying different and more often feeding.... Love those blooms.. |

I feed mine with a bloom booster once a week, and they do beautifully. They'll never be at their peak in 100-degree weather, though. But come September .... |
I think the bloom booster is the key. You want to be giving them something with a high P number (NPK) ie 10-50-10 and I was told by a local nursery that you want to be feeding them almost every watering that way. This is my first year with Fushia and I'm having fair luck. There has been a MARKED increase in blooms since switching my fertilizer methods, even in the really hot humid weather we've been having here. |

Kate's Reception
Kate's invitations are one of my favorites of this year. I was really excited to work on all of her pieces for the reception. We of course did menus to be wrapped in a napkin with matching table numbers. I did her trifold programs with her design on the front cover, and thank you cards. Kate has the most delicious sounding Signature drink - Wedding Cake martini and I also did a sign for her guest book and a sign to sort out her escort cards.

Clemson University; bugwood.orgThe Colorado potato beetle has an ability to overcome most insecticides.The Colorado potato beetle is a survival expert, developing resistance to just about every pesticide growers adopt.
Even the neonicotinoids that provided an astonishingly long 16-year respite are now showing signs of weakness.
But while neonicotinoid resistance is an industrywide concern, the situation isn't dire—yet. Careful pesticide rotations and a return to more management-intensive practices should help keep the pest in check.
Among pests worldwide, only the diamondback moth tops Colorado potato beetle in its ability to generate pesticide resistance, says Russ Groves, Extension vegetable specialist at the University of Wisconsin in Madison. "So [neonicotinoid resistance] is no surprise."
Act now to slow resistance
Resistance can appear with unsettling speed.
Long Island's beetle populations, for instance, are notorious, sometimes showing signs of resistance in the same year a chemical is introduced, he says. Imidacloprid managed to retain effectiveness for about four years there.
But full-blown neonicotinoid resistance is still intermittent, with well over half the country's potato growers continuing successful use, Groves says.
Season-long control is diminishing, however. A single application at planting once provided 100 days of control, Groves says.
"Now we're doing well to get 50."
"It's still manageable," says Mark Otto, president of Agri-Business Consultants Inc., a Lansing, Mich., company specializing in potato management. A third of his clients have fought serious neonicotinoid resistance since 2004.
This past season he sprayed 50 percent more acres, which he suspects is due less to jumps in resistance than to the season's weather delays.
But the incidents popped up in new areas, sounding warnings for the future.
Zsofia Szendrei, assistant professor of entomology at Michigan State University in East Lansing, has taken over the 12-year national bioassay on Colorado potato beetles. Counts of resistance show up as an exponentially increasing curve, but in 2007 it climbed steeply.
"We're not back to the days of flaming fields or manually removing beetles," Szendrei says.
Other pesticides and practices can fill in the gap.
"Neonicotinoids have been around so long growers have gotten into the habit of applying it once," at planting, she says. "They've never had to apply foliar sprays."
Take an integrated approach

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

We are using a new handyman for a bunch of repairs, his prices for everything seemed fine. The only item that seemed pricey to me was that he wanted $200 to hang our door, which would include adding wood filler as the bottom hinge holes are screwed up from the existing door.
I have no idea what time/effort is involved in door hanging but this seemed kind of expensive and we were debating looking for someone else to take care of the door and having him do the rest of the job. What do you think? |

Hanging a door is pretty simple. But because I remodeled the entire house I had to install new construction doors. 11 of them. My guy charged me $50 for trim work, $50 for the door, & $50 to install. $150 total for each door. I buy the hardware and he installs too.(included in price). That's interior doors such as bedroom and closets. Are you talking about an entrance door? In that case he charged me $500 for 2 of them. So $290 is a lot. Just negotiate. Tell him $290 is too much and if you can give him $225 per door. |
Just all depends on the work and time involved to do the job properly. I hung a 3/0 solid door and charged $170 including material. Took three hours which included morticing for hinges, drilling holes for knob, some planing & sanding and application of a poly coat. I might suggest asking him to do it on a time and material basis, you might save a few bucks and he should have no problem as he knows he is getting paid by the hour. Just establish the hourly rate prior. Door installation estimates can be difficult as you never know what is involved until you get started. Chances are he estimated the worst possible senero and quoted that price. |
Thanks everyone - - I actually mis-typed a bit: the handyman wants $200 to hang the door, but that is LABOR-ONLY, I would still need to buy the door so my total cost would be around $290. The door would come with a pre-cut door-know hole and I would be painting it. We have an existing crappy door there that needs repair to the door frame at the lower hinge area and refastening of the lower hinge, my thought was if I was paying for that repair (he quoted $55 per hour) maybe we should just put a nicer door in. Its hard to find a hanyman in this town so I am a little scared to negotiate but I guess I need to try . . . |
You don't mention if the door is interior or exterior. You don't mention where you live. These will impact the price. Two hundred is not alot for the job here in NY. When you keep the frame, you do not want a lock hole pre cut because it will not line up with the strike plate. The door needs to be hung first on the hinges and then the lock hole is cut. Otherwise you need to fill in all the old holes in the frames and cut new ones. Ron |
Sorry, I should have given more detail. Its an interior door (28 by 80) and I live in Chicago (not as expensive as NY but not cheap either). Thanks also for the tip about avoiding the pre-drilled door knob hole. |
I live in Long Island NY. I spent $300 to have an outer door professionally hung. Just my experience. |

Very cool looking, but I would think you would need something like PVC as a base for outdoor use. |
- Posted by nanatricia (My Page) on Sun, Mar 4, 12 at 20:24
I would use pvc and mortar.That is a lot of work for temp.. |
I'm also trying to think of something like this for outdoor use. I have a huge patio - about 600 sf - and I like to put lots of plants out there. So need lots of plant stands. I've been thinking of experimenting with some faux granite spray paint. Was thinking of 2 largish terra cotta pots in the middle, and then using square stepping stones for a top and base. But maybe a PVC pipe could work. I guess I need to go browse at Lowes. . . |
I aquired a cardboard tube from my cousin, about the same size as the pictured one, it was destined for the dumpster, and planned to FILL it with morter mix. I might have to put some type of filler in with the cement to help with the weight. Piece of rebar, or conduit, sticking out the bottom to help it stay upright. BUT-- how to get the cardboard off???? Guess I could smear it with cement and let the cardboard stay! Come on Spring! I don't do even slightly cold weather-LOL |
I saw in one of my magazines a faux stone made from styrofoam I do not want to hijack your post so I will post separate and try to find the instructions for that also. I think they said to use outdoor paint and 2-3 coats poly to seal. |

What about a layer of hypertufa???????? |
- Posted by tinfoilhat AZ10 (My Page) on Wed, Mar 7, 12 at 3:15
Concrete and mortar will not adhere to PVC. When PVC pipe passes into a manhole or thru a swimming pool or concrete wall a special rubber boot or sleeve is needed to keep water from leaking around pipe into or out of structure. You could use chicken wire and mold a thick layer of concrete or mortar around PVC pipe but be aware that unless sealed and caulked at ends moisture will probably get between concrete and PVC pipe. This could cause freezing problems later. Concrete or clay pipe would work well for outdoor use. Cement-asbestos pipe commonly called Transite would also work. You may be able to find some cut offs at a construction site for free. |
Those tubes are Quikcrete Quik-tubes. They are made for outdoor use. We used them when we built our decks over 20 years ago, and they are still out there. I have peeled off the ones that show, but the ones hidden by trellis are just like they were originally. What I don't think would work would be a thin layer of mortar or cement on the outside of it. It takes some pretty thick stuff to stand-up to weather extremes--if it's thick enough to not fall apart, it's going to be heavier than what you're looking for (as in it will break the clay saucer...which brings up another problem, and that's the life expectancy of the saucer on the bottom). But I like the idea...I think something could be done with stovepipe, plastic flower pots, and paint. |
Cool idea and good advice. |
I picked up this column for free off craigslist a while ago. I don't know what it is made of - it feels like cement, but it's hollow inside and relatively speaking, it is light. I just spray painted it to match our siding. As I was looking at it today, I started wondering if I could somehow use some raised panel cabinet doors and square pavers to duplicate the look. Of course that would be dependent on finding someone getting rid of some cabinets. . . As others have said, if I'm going to do all the work, I'd like it to survive outside in the long term. Preferably something that will survive thru the winter and not need to be brought inside. |
