The U.S. Government compiles a number of key statistical indices that are of interest to the paint and coatings industry. These data are compiled by the U.S. Bureau of the Census (part of the Department of Commerce) and the Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). The Census Bureau formerly collected and issued statistics on the paint and coatings industry on a quarterly, annual, and five-year basis, but discontinued its Current Industrial Reports (CIR) program, which published this information on a large number of industries, during 2011.
The BLS collects data on pricing of both "prepared paint" as well as the raw material inputs going into coatings, which is compiled into a paint materials index figure. ACA's Management Information Committee has also developed a "paint materials" PPI figure, which seeks to calculate the overall effect of pricing changes affecting a broad basket of coatings raw materials, including pigments, resins, solvents, and other key raw materials that a typical coatings manufacturer might purchase. The BLS statistics allow coatings manufacturers to understand the effect on inflation in the coatings market, including the raw materials that go into a paint formulation.

I can say from my first ever—and killer—hangover that slumber raves are the way forward. Incidentally, I am not talking about when you pass out in a nightclub here.
Slumber raves are a much-loved attraction in Glastonbury. Imagine a club with beds, not seats, and a selection of dressing gowns you can borrow if you want to get ready for bed. It's essentially a rave but when you get sleepy (or not, as the case may be) you can just pop your PJ's on and go to bed right in the nightclub. Crazy people also wander about filling up hot water bottles and handing out mugs of hot chocolate as well.
I went to a slumber rave which was part of the wrap party for the Mutate Britain exhibition, but do check out one near you too as they are awesome fun.

Press release:
U-M Football Head Coach Brady Hoke Announces Wide Receiver Stonum will Redshirt 2011 Season
ANN ARBOR, Mich. – University of Michigan football head coach Brady Hoke announced Sunday (Aug. 7) that senior wide receiver Darryl Stonum (Stafford, Texas/Dulles HS) will redshirt the 2011 season.
"While it would be great to have Darryl on the field this season, we feel it is in his best interest and the best interest of our program for him to redshirt," said Hoke. "Darryl will continue to be an important part of our team and family. He has done everything we have asked him to do, but our number one priority is to help Darryl grow as a person."
Hoke also announced the suspension of sophomore punter Will Hagerup (Milwaukee, Wis./Whitefish Bay HS) for the first four games of the season and junior wide receiver Terrence Robinson (Klein, Texas/Oak HS) for the season opener for violating team rules.
Stonum's redshirt is obviously an effect of his second DUI in two years; Hagerup and Robinson's naughtiness is unknown.
Stonum's absence will be felt, as no one on the roster has his combination of size and speed. Michigan still has seniors Martavious Odoms and Junior Hemingway, though, and those two were about as productive as Stonum was. Folks like to rotate their wide receivers, though, and without Stonum the backups are untested Je'Ron Stokes, Jeremy Jackson, and Jerald Robinson. Michigan might think about getting Roundtree some reps on the outside now.
This is Hagerup's second strike after he missed the Ohio State game last year for the proverbial undisclosed violation of team rules. In his stead Seth Broekhuizen took over, averaging 29 yards a kick. Michigan will probably turn to freshman Matt Wile; Wile averaged 42 yards per attempt as a high school senior.
Robinson probably wasn't going to play anyway.
SILVER LINING: If Stonum can get someone to drive him around this year, his return in 2012 should soften the blow of losing Odoms and Hemingway. Michigan still needs receivers stat.
SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCE W/ MICHAEL FLOYD: Floyd had two MIPs, which are nothing, and the one DUI. Stonum had two DUIs and went to jail for not doing the probation on the first one. Please refrain from outing yourself as a derp by derping about Notre Derp.
Watch this and calm yourself a little. This kid can punt.

In the comment box, but deity to the plain text editor first
Well, can't find the edit button for some reason but here is another attempt.
Dude there are already 2 threads started on these subjects, why you cluttering up the board. Search is your friend
Matt Wile is going to be the savior of our special teams
*fingers crossed*
We're already asking a lot of the kid.
September 3 | Western Michigan | 3:30 PM | ABC | |
September 10 | Notre Dame | 8:00 PM | ESPN | |
September 17 | Eastern Michigan | 12:00 PM | BTN | |
September 24 | San Diego State | TBA | TBA |
Luckily we have Denard, and thus, won't need to punt much.
Notre Dame just got a bit complicated though.
With Hemingway, Odoms, Rountree around in 2011, Stonum was likely to see no more than 50% of offensive snaps (whenever he returned from suspension). Losing him just gives more time to Odoms primarily, and maybe incrementaly to Stokes, Robinson, etc.
In 2012, he'll play the majority of snaps, and he'll be taking time away from unproven players in Stokes, Robinson, etc.
To compare:
Using Stonum in 2011: Fewer plays for Odoms (a proven senior), a partial season, a deep WR corps is deeper.
Using Stonum in 2012: Fewer plays for Robinson (RS So), a full season, a shallow WR corps is deeper.
In short, the relative gain/replacement value/marginal improvement/whatever you want to call it is much better in 2012.
On top of all that Stonum should be more mature, more motivated, and he'll certainly know the playbook and offense better a year from now.
It's better for the program indeed.
A not insignificant point, imo. To me this was one of Hoke's first real tests, and I think he passed it. It's a balanced and fair response to a very serious situation, and gives a kid who clearly needs it a chance to grow up and get his head on straight. Kicking Stonum off the team would have been a loss for everyone, though not an unreasonable reaction to two DUIs. On the other hand, not punishing him at all was (for Michigan) out of the question.
Hoke found a third way, and fingers crossed it will work out well for everyone.
i'm glad hoke to the road traveled by the likes of Bo when making this decision, instead of those by the tressels, brian kellys and mark dantonios.
kudos to you brady hoke.
What is the consensus on Je'Ron Stokes being able to step up this year? He was a highly rated 4* coming in 2009 and was a nice addition to the 2009 class by signing up for Michigan on NSD.
All you're saying is true, but you're making a big assumption that Stonum will return to the team in 2012. We have no knowledge of the breadth of his problem or his mental state at this point. Is it possible that he will return? Certainly, but is it likely given the circumstances? Seeing that he's on thin ice right now and his past behavior, I'd actually put his chances at less then 50-50.
As far as Hagerup is concerned, seeing that nothing's come up in the public record yet, the best guess on the violation of team rules is related either to academics or a second drug test failure. On the latter, the pattern fits--one game suspension for first time, four game suspension for second. What happens with the third violation of team rules? Does he get a one year suspension like Stonum or will he be booted from the team? I hope it doesn't come to that because he's a pretty talented punter and if he's looking at continuing into the NFL as a possibiity, he needs to straighten things up. The same, obviously, goes for Stonum as well, although given his record to date, any chance at a professional career is in greater jeopardy.
I hope both of them take care of their personal lives and turn things around. If it doesn't happen this season and they both lose their spots on the team, then Michigan's recruiting class for 2012 almost assuredly goes up by at least one more player.
However, if Stonum, given the opportunity put in front of him, can't get his life together he has bigger problems. I don't know him or anything, but I'd take the bet on his side if given even odds. Most people are going to respond positively to this kind of thing. Without the distractions and pressures of playing on Saturday, Stonum can spend the next school year focusing on school and getting everything together for 2012 and beyond.
He has the talent to be an NFL player. Next year, he'll have an open opportunity with a veteran QB and OL. All the kid has to do is find a frickin designated driver to avoid trouble. He's got everything going for him and it would be sad if it went to waste.
In my mind, Hoke's laid out a path for him where he's suitably punished, but the reward to find the right path remains.
Sure he could at least get a free agent contract and try to make it that way.
We needed Hagerup, especially for ND. Hopefully Wile can be decent enough at punter too. And another significant difference between Floyd and Stonum is that Floyd wasn't suspended. I understand that what Stonum did was worse, but a DUI is a DUI. It at least deserves a 1 game suspension, if not more. I am happy with the decision regarding Stonum though. Good enough outcome.
We can still comment on that it seems that Floyd will see no suspension whatsoever for what is his 3rd alcohol related offense. The 2 situations are not equal and no one should say they are, but missing an entire season is significantly more than not missing anything.
but what it suggests to me is that Stonum's issues are more acute and not yet resolved. Stonum struck me as immature (awesome, but immature) in his dealing with the press, etc. last year, and I doubt he is taking that well to "life changes." Out with the massive tinted sub-glasses - insert AA meetings, not an easy adjustment for somebody who seems to kind of see himself as a bad-ass in the third person kind of way. I can hear him saying "Darryl Stonum doesn't change for nobody, man." I think Hoke's hand was probably forced into this by Stonum's actions or lack thereof.
I'm looking to go with a few friends to the night game, and a bunch of people are looking to tailgate. My question is: Is the golf course open to tailgate on? And will there be lights and such on the course? Or will everyone have to go to Pioneer? Thanks in advance for your answers!
I think to call Floyd's two MIP's "nothing", is a frickin joke. While most college aged students drink before they are 21, most college students also do not represent the university by being on a full-ride scholarship and playing for the football team. I would understand a slap on the wrist for one MIP but a healthy suspension should be in line for number 2 and then throw on a DUI. Come on, open your eyes.
as someone who got two MIPs, I agree that they are more than "nothing", but still not as bad as a DUI.
I completely agree with you. A DUI puts others at risk. For the record, I am very happy with the punishment. I think it is fair to Stonum and provides the support over the next year that will hopefully let him mature. I just have a problem with MIP's being nothing.
I understand times are different, what with the 21 yr. old drinking age and all, but just how do get an MIP? Do you walk around the cop car with a bottle in your hand and take swig just when the officer is looking?
Your tailgate party is too early/awesome and the cops come over and decide they want to check the ID of the kid taking the two story beer bong.
That old bitch who lives on Greenwood calls the police on a house party you're attending. Cops come in, check IDs. Whoops, MIP'd. (I have no idea if those old people still live at the end of Vaughn or Greenwood, whichever one it was).
Your RA decides to go on a power trip and rather than dumping out/taking your alcohol she calls DPS and/or AAPD. BOOM, MIP'd.
You're heading across campus to a party and the buddy who's spending the night studying but volunteered to drop you off gets pulled over, cops see you in the back with a case. MIP'd.
i somehow escaped without any (just turned 21) but many of my friends weren't that lucky ... it just happens, a lot of them are too freshman who don''t know how to handle it/live in the dorms/ don 't know their rights (cops need a warrent to breathlyze if you aren't driving but most just submit anyway)
Yes that is one way. or be an idio like myself and walk my then girlfriend to her car with a dixie cup of beer and undercovers jump out at you. If it is your first offense though you can get it expunged from your record.
I think this is a fair decision. A full-year benching for Stonum is a stiff punishment. He'll have a lot of time to reflect on what he's done.
Props to Coach Hoke on what I can imagine was a tough decision regarding Stonum. Press has been on Coach about what will happen to Stonum. The situation clearly has been looming for awhile now. The easy thing would have been suspending Stonum for the opener, but Coach clearly did what was best for the program.
Coach Schembechler always believed it was better to start off as a tough disciplinarian and become softer as needed, rather than the other way around. Its good Coach Hoke establishes disciplinary procedure upfront, too. Hopefully Stonum's teammates and future Wolverines realize the expectations that come with donning the Maize and Blue.
Not surprised by Stonum; hopefully Hagerup figures out how to play by the rules (I have my assumptions of what "rules" a college kid breaks, but I'll keep quiet for now), as he might find himself out of a job depending on how Wile plays. This defense needs good field position to be successful (most do, I know), and if you give up 20 net yards per punt, that's not going to help anything.
I'm happy with how Hoke handled the Stonum situation, but I do think Floyd's situation is not so different that he should be able to start day 1. Three alcohol-related offenses are bad for anyone; if a student had multiple MIPs he/she would have some explaining to do before the school's disciplinary board unless times have changed since I was in the college. A DUI also doesn't really help his case. Yes, Stonum may be the bigger goober when it comes to drinking, but Floyd is not winning any prizes himself.
Yeah, I don't see how having "only" one DUI is somehow justification for Floyd not missing even one game. A DUI, even a first one, is no small thing and should receive SOME punishment other than missing practices which I doubt Floyd was all that broken up about.
Regarding Stonum, though, I am not sure that he is getting punished much, either. If he plays every game in 2012 would he really have been punished at all?
You are presuming that Darryl Stonum can manage to keep his nose out of trouble for 12 months. There is very little evidence he can do that, and Brady Hoke (IMHO) has determined that as well. He's essentially said "I don't think you can keep from fucking up, and therefore it's not worth keeping you eligible for this season. If you can surprise us all, fine, we'll see you in 2012."
I think Stonum has played his last down of Michigan football.
Comparable or not, I'm a senior this year, not next year, and having to deal with Floyd while they don't have to deal with Stonum is garbage. Neither of them should be playing.
Hagerup needs to get his head in gear, too. I do not want to repeat the punting debacle at OSU last year, and now both punting and kicking fall to a freshman.
High integrity move by Hoke to redshirt Stonum.
Wile hasn't even made it to campus yet and he's probably already one of the top 5 most important players on the team this season. Please stay healthy Mr. Wile.
in my opinion Stonum should have been dismissed. I'm normally loath to speak in judgment of someone and something I know nothing about, but the second DUI is too much for me. His actions indicate a lack of respect for the opportunity afforded him and an inablilty to learn from them. Plus, as others have pointed out, this move actually benefits Michigan football and seems like less of a punishment as a result. That Hoke was not around for Stonum's prior problems is the only reason I'm not really put off by this.
Oh, well. At least he's not Glenn Winston.
I look at the redshirt this way: it forces Stonum to stay on campus and under the watch of the football team, which is probably the best thing for this young man's future.
Red shirt != he will play next year
I'm sure there are going to be many things he needs to prove in order to earn the priveledge of playing next year.
Makes It harder to win this year, and if anything has been shown, you need to win early and often as Michigan coach.
As for Stonum, if he had any NFL aspirations, waiting a year to go pro could be costing at minimum hundreds of thousands of dollars he can never get back.
Notre Dame 0 games
Michigan 13 games
Any questions?
Guess you missed the part about not derping about Notre Dame.
Notre DERP. Just sayin'.
Please refrain from outing yourself as a derp by derping about Notre Derp
The Hagerup news is a huge bummer. I remember watching him warm up before last year's MSU game. He was consistently kicking balls into the end zone and beyond from well behind the 50 yard line. A bunch of Sparty fans were dazzled by the performance. Me, too.

I'll agree with Brian that Stonum's Actions =/= Floyd's Actions. There is a difference there.
However, there is also a difference between their punishments. And that difference is the size of the Grand Canyon. Actually Stonum's punishment is infinitely bigger than Floyd's because Floyd received absolutely nothing. (If I'm wrong with my math theory please correct me.)
So, IMO we can still rip on Kelly and ND for that decision. Floyd's punishment did not fit his crime. Period. We don't even have to bring Stonum into the situation.
And to add to that, let's think about Hagerup in relation to Floyd.
Hagerup violated team rules, got suspended for the biggest game of the year.
He violated team rules again, strike 2, and gets 4 games.
Granted, we don't know what those violations were, but we do know he didn't get cited for anything. It would be public record if he did I'm pretty sure.
So then we have Floyd, who now has 3 strikes that were all cited by law enforcement, and he doesn't miss any game time.
I don't think I have to say anything further.
Not sure how these comments were considered "Trolling" but then again I don't really understand how the ranking system works in general.
Can someone explain it to me?
Again, can someone please explain to me how I am "Trolling" with my comments?
Or can the person who is labeling my comments this way please explain why?
Irish, or some other ND fan, downvoting you.
Ok thanks.
I kinda figured that might be the case.
Irish and I do not see eye-to-eye so that would make sense. But maybe it wasn't him, so who knows.
So I am guessing that the new ranking system just kind of averages what people label posts. I know its been that way for a while but I didn't post a lot the last couple months.

Azeroth Interrupted: Escape from Los Angeles {WoW}
Oct 22nd 2007 7:33AM Ya I kinda feel for the old days (EQ, CoH, EQ2...). I used to play Vanguard Saga of heroes, and that did fill the void for a bit. I got a bit mad at the devs though for going back on what they promised, and the anti-wow mood on the game (not saying everyone was of course). So I finally gave in to wow, and its alright. The gameplay is a bit to simple for my liking, but it has the most funding right now, so it can make the most updates.
Long story short, it looks like in order to get that feel like we had back in the EQ days, (Not counting the level 17 druids kiting the level 40 mobs =P) I guess we just have to find a game with less people. Dont go for the next "WoW-killer" and instead just find a small niche game. The smaller a community the better they are alot of the time, you cant hide if you are rude to people.

Upstairs downstairs
Last Updated: 13:26 June 15, 2012
Jonathan Nassar, president of New Design Logic LLC of Westminster, developers of Arista Live/Work Lofts, says urban living is making a comeback.

Nahetzin Grijalva (right) and her husband, George, have cut their commute to almost nothing at Arista Live/Work Lofts, where they operate Loftea Caf�. Also pictured is Nahetzin's sister, Jessica.
(Michael Myers)
That was when she lived in California, but things didn't get any better when her work took her to Westminster, Colorado. In the six months she continued to work as an independent contractor, she struggled with a stressful commute to Lakewood, only saw her house and her dogs at lunch, and rolled in after dark each night.
"My biggest gripe was that I was spending two or more hours in a car a day," she said. Ready for life outside the car, she looked for it and found it. By moving to Arista Live/Work Lofts on Colony Road in Broomfield in April and opening a coffee shop called Loftea Café with her husband, George, in the retail space below, she's narrowed her commute down to a few steps and two minutes.
"Here, I know everyone. I know the people who stay here and the business people in the area," Grijalva said. "And you feel more attached because you're part of people's routines. People from the Aloft Hotel a block and a half away come to get breakfast.
"You really get to be part of a community," she added.
Grijalva and her husband are renting their home and retail space, and maintaining their home in California, but don't have any plans right now to move back year-round. "I said to my husband the other day that I don't miss the house. It was a lot of upkeep. Hard to keep pretty."
Also tired of the commute is Gordon Dauphinais, who lives at Arista with his wife, Carri. While the Dauphinais own three vehicles due to their work, they still feel they are spending less: Less time in the car and less money on living and business expenses. "We wanted to consolidate everything under one bill. I've seen a 15 to 20 percent savings in the cost of doing business," Dauphianis said.
A traditional solution to Dauphinais' unique situation, owning three businesses, Creative Force Graphics, Performance Kart Sport and Panther Chains, might have had them working under three roofs. In that instance, "you're paying a couple of times for sewer and water and rent," Dauphinais said.
Live/work not a new concept
Living where you work isn't new. Consider movies set in the Old West with living quarters above the saloon. But its popularity in America is growing. The Census Bureau's most recent estimate, made from community surveys conducted in 2009, recorded 5.9 million people in the United States who lived where they worked. That's up from 4.5 million in 2003. In Colorado, the number of people who lived where they worked in 2003 was estimated at 128,007. In 2009, it was an estimated 166,093 — a nearly 30 percent increase.
"We (as a country) moved away from urban living, but now it's coming back," said Jonathan Nassar, president of New Design Logic LLC of Westminster. His company, as well as Sunburst Design LLC and Daniel H. O'Brien Architecture are developers of Arista Live/Work Lofts. Nassar said that the live/work setup is one that never really left Europe, but here, environmental concerns and costs have people re-thinking homes in suburbia. Nassar certainly is. While he still owns a 5,000-square-foot home in the northern suburbs of Denver, it's on the market. Already using one of Arista's retail spaces for his office, his plans are to move the wife and kids in upstairs as soon as the old house sells.
"This is walkable and commuter-friendly," he said. "I think people are realizing that gas won't get to be any cheaper." He pointed out that when living at Arista, going to work just means a walk to your office or to retail space downstairs.
For a small-business owner renting a space and paying a mortgage, living and working at home can also be more affordable. Utilities work out to 60 percent less expensive, Nassar said. Floor plans at Arista include attached garages, although now that the Regional Transportation District is available, a tenant or buyer could conceivably live there without a car. Arista's amenities include public transit, parks within walking distance, and the nearby 1stBank Center providing live music, family shows and sporting events. Stainless-steel appliances, pre-finished bamboo flooring, granite countertops and custom European-style cabinetry make the living space modern. A fiber-network technology package is available. A new hospital will soon break ground a block from Arista, a Children's Hospital Outpatient Clinic.
Living space is 2,700 to 3,000 square feet with 700 to 900 square feet for retail. Live/work units are available in one-, two- and three-bedroom floor plans. Of the 13 units available at Arista, half have been sold or leased.

I'm working on pricing the materials I need for building my first (YAY!) raised garden bed.
It will be 4' X 16' (braced in the middle, not to worry) The box will cost about $60. The compost via third party from the municipality will cost $132.97 (that's 3 cu yds, a little extra for some needy beds). So about $200 all said and done. Does this sound about right? Is there a way I can do it any cheaper? (Assuming no cinder blocks for construction?) |

You don't say how deep you are maiking the beds. If one foot deep, then you have more than enough compost. Are you going to add the peat moss and vermiculite to make Mel's Mix...? Or do you plan to grow in straight compost? Price is okay... |

Yes, 12" deep. I need some compost for some of the other beds. We are moved into one of these new build developments where they scrape off all of the top soil and leave you clay and gravel. I couldn't even get hostas to grow in it last year, it was pathetic. I need to research the moss and vermiculite a bit more. How do I know how much to add to a full bed of compost? TY for the response!!! :) |
Well according to the SFG method, new beds are filled with 1/3 compost, 1/3 peat moss and 1/3 vermiculite. So you would need about 21.3 cubic feet of each of those materials to fill a 4x16 box 1 foot deep. |
- Posted by basiladdict 6a (My Page) on Mon, Feb 13, 12 at 20:05
Thanks. I can't find peat moss in bulk - just in a 40# bag. Is that a normal way to sell it? How many pounds is a square foot? And I can't find vermiculite at all! Not even in bags. Is there a substitution? I'd be glad to mix it like that, I certainly don't know a better way! ha! |

I can't find peat moss in bulk - just in a 40# bag. Interesting. Seems the stores around here only sell them in 2-4 cu ft bales. I can't find vermiculite at all! Not even in bags. I trust you've checked the database for suppliers in your area? U might even call a nursery and see if they might help you out. Check with Ace Hardware. I'm not sure if they stock it, but I've had them order other stuff for me before. |
I'm betting you already built the bed, but in case you want to build another one, or anyone else comes across this thread there are cheaper ways to about it. One thing to consider is looking for old pallets to cut up to use as wood. You'll have to check that pallets, but most aren't chemically treated anymore, usually they are heat treated if they are used domestically. Of course, if they were chemically treated you might not want to use them for a veggie garden! I see free pallets come up all the time on my freecycle account or look for them on craigslist. Also, you didn't say how deep you were going to make them. For most plants you only need 6" of soil, so I wouldn't make the whole box any deeper, but what you can do is build some extra smaller "top hat" boxes for if you are going to have a space with carrots or potatoes. Basically, all you do is build a smaller bottomless box, toss it down inside the box and soil you already built and fill it up. That way you aren't paying for deep soil everywhere. If you are going to be making "Mel's mix" be aware that it's going to cost you. I used it and am very happy with it, but the ingredients are not cheap. Vermiculite is often hard to find. On Mel Bartholomew's website/forum the users have a database of where you can find it. It's a great forum and may help you find it. Also, for compost it really is critical that you use 5 different types of compost, which around here means going to different nurseries and garden centers as the big box stores only carry mushroom and manure! Also, the 1:1:1 ratio is actually based on VOLUME not weight, and they are different. I have heard some people have success with a slightly modified Mel's Mix in which they use 50% compost 25% Peat Moss, and 25% Vermiculite, but I can't say how well it works. What I can tell you is that I did 2 boxes, each 3.5" x 10.5" at 6" in depth and it ran me about $200 just in soil. Also, don't forget about if you want to build a trellis, and any fencing/caging/protection for your plants. I found the whole project to be expensive for starting up, but the results were great! Good luck! |
I have 6 raised beds. 5 4x4 and one L shaped, the long sides are 8 feet. The 5 beds are 12" tall but i did NOT fill them completely and even after adding leaves last fall and compost this spring they still arent full. I estimated that it cost me around 60-70 dollars per smaller bed. I didnt use mels mix but organic top soil, peat moss and only 2 kinds of compost. Add to that the hundreds i spent on building low tunnels to cover them and seed and i still think we will com out on top by the end of the year, next year at the latest. So for us, it was absolutely expensive and if we were concerned with only saving money we wouldnt have done it. |
Prob too late for OP but not for others. The info remains the same about the peat moss & cull wood. I got 10yrs (AND STILL GOING) out of some of these untreated boxes. Posted by gumby_ct CT it says Z5 (My Page) on If it's not too late maybe you can save some money by not using peat moss. Since it adds no nutrient value to the soil many either add more compost or just leave the peat out of the mix. The peat only serves to hold moisture, if you have enuff organic matter perhaps you can save there. HD also has a cull wood bin. I give a description how I did mine in the link below. Cost of setting up boxes Here is a link that might be useful: Borders for Bed Gardening Borders for Bed Gardening I can get in & out of the store in less than 5min IF they don't have any green. Sometimes the length varies but I grab one of their tape measures so I know what I am getting. I don't like to have to cut. The 4 ft lengths will fit nicely into the back seat of most cars and are far lighter than cinder blocks (less expensive too). To illustrate an example, say they have 4 2x6's painted green. You look them over decide they will work and pay .51x4=$2.04 plus .13 (6%)tax = $2.17 The down side. Well it won't be a perfect 48x48 inches. It may come out to be 45x48in depending on the thickness of the lumber you use. I don't sweat it. To make a perfect 48x48 with 2x lumber, you will need 2 lengths of 51 inch and 2 at 48 inch. So what happens if you have to pay full price? A 2"x6"x8ft piece of Douglas fir (cheap stuff) cost $5.27 plus .32 tax= $5.59 You get one free cut per board (cut to 4ft length making it easier to transport even in a Honda Civic). You will need 16ft so double the cost =$11.18. Of course if you don't want to build your bed up, you could use 2x4's (little over $6 for 2-8ft lengths), use 1x2's, or simply use string or rope tied to some stakes pounded into the corners to mark the perimeter. Or simply get creative. The whole idea, NOT to walk on the planting surface. So think outside the box, just don't walk in the box. Will untreated wood last as long as cinder blocks? No. Does it look as nice? Maybe, if you paint or otherwise decorate it. Then it may last as long. Is wood cheaper than cinder? Definitely. Easier to move? YES. Consider a cinder block is 8 inches wide. 2x8=16 inches off your planting area. That is 48-16=32, unless you choose to reach across a width of 48+16=64 inches. That is 5ft 4in. if my math is right. Quite the stretch. I prefer to avoid cinders, rocks, or anything slugs can hide under. That's MY story and I'm sticking to it. Hope it helps. Life consist of a series of choices and seems to be a learning process. Wishing you happiness, |

Daniel Handler (born February 28, 1970) is an American author, screenwriter and accordionist. He is best known for his work under the pen name Lemony Snicket.
Adverbs (2006)Edit
- Love was in the air so both of us walked through love on our way to the corner.
- The world gets grimy and the love object is in stark relief from its surroundings. This is love, a pretty thing on an ugly street and why wouldn't you pick it up if it appeared in a taxi cab.
- I'm frightened by your behaviour. I woke up this morning and you said good morning and i said good morning, what do you feel like doing today, and you said well i sort of have to do this thing, and i said what thing and you said go to the reading of my father's will, and I said what are you talking about and then you told me that your dad had died. THIS MORNING.
- If i were a little braver i would have asked her something like, "Do you think Kickass: the movie is a comedy in the traditional, classical sense?" and we could have that conversation and it would lead to other conversations during the flat and lonely times.
- Standing ten feet away from Lila was sort of kickass with her nails drumming on the box with the slot in, where we put everything that we rip in half, and with her blue-eyed beauty and with the gum she was chewing and how lovely she was, in that way that makes you want to find something else lovely just so you can give it to her and see how really kickass it is to have to lovely things next to each other.
- Keith has one of those all terrain things that will come in so handy when the world ends and we need a nine-thousand -cylinder engine to drive over those hordes of blood-thirsty mutants crawling all over the video-game landscape.
- This world is suchier than we are, and the best thing to do is keep moving and find your keys.
- Money money money money money money money money money. Let no one say it has no place in a love story. It has a particular place. It is something on the right shelf.
- This is love, moving to where the money is, and all the while a volcano or an ex-girlfriend might blow the whole thing to hell, as the Americans say. As everybody says.
- … the point is, why is there cruelty? Why do people ask other people to do impossible things? why behave this way? why is there mean, when there are better things than mean, love particularly?
- "I love you, too" David said and took the bottle.
"I want you to love me in particular," Helena said
- It's always dawnest before dark
- I'm full of hard times today
- The right boys I always toss and the wrong ones I keep on top of me like paperweights.
- What a bad day it was, the clouds were low and cloudy, the rain no fun, and the dark as it hit the late afternoon thick like someone who stops by your place and just won't leave. The day was canceled, almost, on account of the rain spilling itself over everything.
- This was that day if you know what I mean.
- It was a bad day for love.
- The rain, the rain, the rain. You can't even hear it outside the window but still it's a sad thing. Rain, the grade school teachers say, makes the trees and flowers grow, but we're not trees and flower, and so many grade school teachers are single.
- She said, "We're detectives" in the tone of voice that someone might say, "Making you happy isn't making me happy"
- They could not love anymore, they thought, just drink and pour coffee and track people down in the rain. They were living frigidly, as if in a cone of frost.
- All love gets over, and we must get over it.
- Love can smack you like a seagull, and pour all over your feet like junkmail. You can't be ready for such a thing any more than salt water taffy gets you ready for the ocean.
- Mike could see the fellow cooked and ate and sat on a sofa and put his feet up on the table it magazines. Mike didn't care which ones the fellow subscribed to, because Mike had subscribed to the fellow.
- This is love, and the trouble with it: it can make you embarrassed. Love is really liking someone a whole lot and not wanting to screw that up. Everybody's chewed over this. This unites us, this part of love.
- I find you interesting, Joe, so nearly everything you say will be interesting too. I love you. I could say I'm lonely but that's not the only reason.
- "I'm not - the terrific guy you keep telling me about. I'm not made of sugar and spice and everything nice. I'm made of rats and snails and puppy-dogs tails. I lie sometimes. I have broken people's hearts. I'm looking for love, I'll admit that, but now that it's here in abundance, I'm afraid of commitment and I want you, please, to leave me."
- [she] gave me a puzzled frown like she thought offhand i was dead but the media's so unreliable these days.
- That's always where the love goes, with somebody else away from me.
- All four of them have completely abandoned one another.
- Adam hates Tomas and tried to get Eddie to join him in hate. It hasn't worked, although Eddie will admit certain shortcomings, and the two men have not met until now, in the forest, when Adam has decided that Tomas in Eddie's stories and the Tomas in this story are the same man.
- It was the sort of day when people walk in the park and solve problems. "We'll simply call the taxi company, David, and request a large one, like one of those vans." Is the sort of thing you would overhear if you were overhearing in the park.
- Dear Joe The letter said The windows rattle without you, you bastard. The trees are the cause, rattling in the wind, you jerk, the wild scraping those leaves and twigs against my window. They'll keep on doing this, you terrible husband, and slowly wear away our entire apartment.
- "Yeah, I have a question," said the guy with the wicked eyes... "My question is, I quit. I'm going to quit."
- What he'd just said was "Who cares?" and nobody wants to hear that.
- South San Francisco The Industrial City is ugly as sin but somebody lives there: Allison, in fact.
- He's been misled and he's been afraid. He's been hit in the head and left for dead. He's been abused and he's been accused and he's been refused a piece of bread. On and on he goes down this road getting pushed around and lost and around and given until sundown to get out of town, and yet this is basically a love song. He's had the shit kicked out of him, and guess what? It's love.
- "When I was crazy." the radio explained, "I thought you were great."
- Allison squinted at the strange, catastrophic sky, and took another step, another step, another step, because in the future - she could see it - this would not be happening.
- This part's true. A group of men are trying to get an enormous number of potatoes into a cafe.
Not ParticularlyEdit
- "I know" Helena said and this is another example of why behave this way? Things just poured out of her mouth lately, like vomit, and sometimes it actually was.
- They are all one, the mothers of us all, like the money you spent. Imagine the vanish of weight if the advice of your mother never existed. They tell us things, unless we have no mothers and either way things turn out such that nothing you've ever heard is ever any help.
- "Instead of change, please give me gun so i can shoot you." She is soft-spoken but short and full of rage lately, like her whole life.
- He bought a bird in its own cage, with a sheet over it so no one could see the bird and the bird couldn't see anyone, and the whole thing was a secret bird... Everything he said was tinged with the unreadability of someone who would bring a bird on cruise ship.
- "Oh my god!" Hillary is standing in the doorway of the bathroom of the bathroom which on one had is surprising but there's the other hand, too.
- "Help me," Allison says, but she is soft-spoken, and everyone she loves is so far away.
- Over the years they had developed a layer of sincerity over the irony over the sincerity. It was an irony sandwich, then, which tasted mostly like sincerity, like a cheap, bad sandwich.
- Wedding after wedding after wedding and then yours - your wedding? Would that make you what they're now calling happy?
- God, or somebody, what is it with terrible things? If you made this world why not a better one?
- judgmentally, judgmentally, judgmentally I would believe in you and sword fight others who did not, any necessary sacrifice if you were in the mood for that.
- They say love's like a bus, and if you wait long enough another one will come along, but not in this place where the buses are slow and most of the cute ones are gay.

A postdoctoral position in biostatistics is available in the Biostatistics team within the INSERM Research Center "Epidemiology and Biostatistics" of the Bordeaux School of Public Health. The theme of the post-doctoral research is the development of dynamic biostatistical models for oncological applications. The first aim of this project is to develop a new model for analyzing simultaneously repeated measures of a biomarker and multiple events, both in the context of multiple failure types and in the context of recurrent events and a terminal event. A specific focus will be on dynamic predictive tools that can be derived from this joint model, and on new methods to evaluate its predictive accuracy. These developments will be applied in the context of prostate cancer progression after a radiation therapy, when repeated measures of PSA are collected along with multiple events such as clinical recurrence, death or possible initiation of a new treatment. Questions about this post-doc position should be addressed to Virginie Rondeau (email@example.com).

Jul 5, 2013 6:27 PM by Associated Press
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) - The Legislature is reversing course on part of a budget bill related to how local law enforcement agencies handle domestic violence cases.
A bill heading to the Assembly would reinstate requirements that local police departments keep records of restraining orders and adopt standards for responding to domestic violence calls.
The Senate approved AB81 Wednesday on a vote of 37-0, without debate.
Legislation approved last month would have made those measures optional for local agencies. Doing so would mean the state would not have been required to pick up the costs for compliance, as it must when it issues a mandate for local governments to follow.
Domestic violence advocates and some district attorneys say keeping the requirements in state law is important to ensure victims are protected.

Remember the old days, when the GOP and Dems advocated different policies? No longer, since the conservatives won.
Summary: The evolution from the America-that-once-was to the New America so far occurs without much notice. But it's apparent if we step back and see the discontinuities in our politics, which foreshadow greater changes to come. Today we look at one such, the Democrats adopting GOP views. The inspiration for this post came from the comment thread to this post.
A new language always reflects a new point of view, and the gradual, unconscious popularization of new words, or of old words used in new ways, is a sure sign of a profound change in people's articulation of the world. When bishops, a generation after Hobbes's death, almost naturally spoke the language of the state of nature, contract and rights, it was clear that he had defeated the ecclesiastical authorities, who were no longer able to understand themselves as they once had.
It was henceforward inevitable that the modern archbishops of Canterbury would have no more in common with the ancient ones than does the second Elizabeth with the first.

The deepest possible evidence that the Right is winning in America: the Left adopts their reasoning and beliefs. That's the long-term significance of Obama Administration. They have …
- expanded the WOT to more nations (eg, Yemen, Somalia, Pakistan),
- greatly expanded the government's secrecy program, by executive action in effect legislating an Official Secrets Act (except for self-promotional leaks by senior officials),
- continued an expanded the war on Iran in alliance with Israel (now with assassinations, sabatoge, and sanctions),
- adopted an economic policy centered on supporting banks (eg, bailouts, protection from regulation),
- adopted fiscal policy focused on cutting taxes (with some small increases) and cutting spending (eg, advocacy of the Simpson-Bowles recommendations, described by the LA Times as a guide to cutting services for the middle class while protecting the interests of the wealthy).
- largely adopted the Republican's health care vision, developed by conservative think-tanks (eg, Heritage), implemented by GOP standard-bearer Romney, applauded by GOP leaders (eg, Newt),
- please list other examples in the comments
So far the parties differ mostly on social policy — loud disputes usually put only lightly into policy by either side. But that too will change.
Americans admire winners, and copy them. The resurgent Republicans have moved the center of the political spectrum to the right, and the Democrats are dragged along. The far left has almost no representation in Congress or senior Executive officials. And the right-wing of the Democratic Party, formerly in the Republican center, now moves into the far right's zone.

Expect to see more articles like this: "Dems Nominate Anti-Gay Conspiracy Theorist for Senate", Tim Murphy, Mother Jones, 3 August 2012 — Opening:
Mark Clayton believes the federal government is building a massive, four-football-field wide superhighway from Mexico City to Toronto as part of a secret plot to establish a new North American Union that will bring an end to America as we know it. On Thursday, he became the Tennessee Democrats' nominee for US Senate.
Clayton, an anti-gay-marriage activist and flooring installer with a penchant for fringe conspiracy theories, finished on top of a crowded primary field in the race to take on GOP Sen. Bob Corker this fall. He earned 26 percent of the vote despite raising no money and listing the wrong opponent on his campaign website. The site still reads, "DEDICATED TO THE DEFEAT OF NEO-CONSERVATIVE LAMAR ALEXANDER," whom Clayton tried to challenge in 2008. (That year, he didn't earn the Democratic nomination.)
On his issues page, Clayton sounds more like a member of the John Birch Society than a rank-and-file Democrat. He says he's against national ID cards, the North American Union, and the "NAFTA superhighway," a nonexistent proposal that's become a rallying cry in the far-right fever swamps. Elsewhere, he warns of an encroaching "godless new world order" and suggests that Americans who speak out against government policies could some day be placed in "a bone-crushing prison camp similar to the one Alexander Solzhenitsyn was sent or to one of FEMA's prison camps." (There are no FEMA prison camps.)
In April 2008, Clayton issued a press release accusing Google of censoring his campaign website on behalf the Chinese government…

"The conservatives won" is not quite correct. These labels tend to become caricatures. More accurate to say something like "the Neocons won," "the Statists won," or "the Bush Republicans won."
There is actually a continuing war on the right wing between the classical conservatives and Big Government types. You can see it in all three of the right's traditional coalition members–National Defense Conservatives, Fiscal Conservatives, and Social Conservatives.
In national defense it expresses itself as the Goldwater-Buchanan-Paul keep-your-powder-dry neo-isolationists vs. the Bush (W and HW) Empire builders. On the economic side, it's the Free Marketeers, Tea Party and Anti-Feds, vs. the Banksters and Big Business Buddies. On the social side, it's the Authoritarians (Anti-Abortion, Anti-Illegal Immigration, Anti Gay Marriage) vs. the Limited Gov't Classical Libertarians and GOP Social Moderates.
Obama is a Statist, as was W, the Big Government Republican. And Obama talks the Social Liberal talk, but what's with the trashing of the 4th Amendment and continuing Drug war? Yes, there's not much difference in policy.
So the Control Freaks in D.C. won. But a lot of conservatives would tell you that there's nothing "conservative" about Leviathan.

He can say that all he wants, but here's what has happened in the modern party system:
– The Republican Party says we need to cut spending and cut regulation.
– The Democratic Party says we need to increase spending and increase regulation.
– Under both parties, spending and regulation have increased."adopted an economic policy centered on supporting banks (eg, bailouts, protection from regulation)"
– It was the most conservative members of Congress who opposed both the bailouts AND the policies that led to "too big to fail.""adopted fiscal policy focused on cutting taxes (with some small increases) and cutting spending (eg, advocacy of the Simpson-Bowles recommendations, described by the LA Times as a guide to cutting services for the middle class while protecting the interests of the wealthy)."
This would be a valid point were it not for a few issues:
— Obamacare included many tax increases, and not just related to the mandate.
— Obama is always talking about raising taxes on the rich. The Republicans (or at least, conservative Republicans) want to keep taxes low on everyone, and cut spending.
— Most importantly, Simpson-Bowles was embraced by the Republicans and ignored by Obama. In this point, Fabius is simply getting the facts wrong.His post is a very good indictment of the GOP, not the Democratic Party. At its best, the Democratic Party is supporting more government, and the GOP is supporting less; therefore, the Bush years were a huge disappointment–and Republicans throughout the country will tell you that. One of the tragedies of the Bush years is that is allows people like Obama to run against the irresponsible, big-spending ways of the Bush administration, as he advocates for more spending.
Using Fabius's line of argument, I would expect him to come to the conclusion that the Tea Party is a breath of fresh air, because the GOP finally has a grassroots movement dedicated to smaller government. Tea partiers are arguably the most free market-supporting sector of the population that is organized under one political banner. They call themselves conservative, but they oppose many of the policies that Fabius calls "conservative." One of these definitions is wrong.
Bluestocking permalink6 August 2012 4:06 pm
Of course, this begs the question of who's really in charge in this country. We all know that the people as a whole should be in charge, and they might be in charge if they ever got around to waking up and realizing that the Republic that they claim to hold so dear is slowly but steadily eroding beneath their feet (for which they are themselves partly to blame, even though this has not been the result of deliberate or even conscious effort on their part) — and yet it seems clear that the people are increasingly not the ones who are really making the decisions, not even through their elected proxies.
In the 2008 election, a greater percentage of the American people — those who bothered to vote, at least — made it clear that they wanted to see a change from the conservative policies of George W. Bush (although Bush was most definitely not a conservative when it came to government spending for matters most dear to neoconservative hearts, namely war and military might). This was evidenced not only by the election of President Obama — who they were encouraged to believe was a moderate if not a progressive — but also by the number of Democrats whom they chose to send to Congress, ostensibly resulting in a Democratic majority in both houses.
If the people truly wanted a continuation of conservative — or more specifically and accurately, neoconservative — policy, then why didn't McCain win the 2008 election, when you remove the poor choice of running mate from the equation? (McCain is not really the maverick that many people seem determined to portray him as being — an image from which even he has sometimes tried to distance himself. On those occasions when McCain has been in open disagreement with other members of his party, it has often been in the aftermath of a recently-won election when he was no longer in fear of losing votes and/or financial support.)
Why did the people choose to give even more power to the Democrats in Congress than they had in 2006, with the result that the Democrats took control of both houses? Yet the signs suggest that even though there have been changes, many if not most of these have actually gone in the opposite direction from that which the voters seemed to say they wanted. (This is why I tend to see the midterm elections of 2010 as being less of a repudiation of the policies of Obama — despite how they were packaged in the media — and more the result of frustration over the way in which the country still seemed to be moving in the wrong direction, to the point that I think many voters out of sheer desperation sought any port in the storm and latched onto anyone who positioned themselves as being different from the typical political insider — hence the election of several freshman Congresscritters who are considered members of the Tea Party.) So what gives?
If the people as a whole are not in charge (and it seems fairly clear that they're not, given that numerous polls indicate a majority of the American people favor policies which are largely being ignored or dismissed in Washington)…then who is? This is a question we need to find an answer to if we're going to save the Republic — assuming, of course, that the people as a whole still want to save it (which might be debatable) and are willing to do what they have to do in order to save it (if that's still possible)

Arizona motorcyclists have apparently lost out in a bid to get special protection from potential police harassment.
On a tie vote, the Senate on Thursday killed legislation which would have required that police officer training include courses that "emphasize the prohibition against motorcycle profiling.'' The vote came despite the pleadings of Sen. Judy Burges, R-Sun City West.
"It's kind of frustrating when you're pulled over and someone points a gun at you,'' she told colleagues. Burges conceded she hasn't witnessed that herself but has been told by riders that happens.
SB 1086 would have mandated that officers be training that "the sole fact that a person rides a motorcycle or wears motorcycle-related paraphernalia'' is not, by itself, the basis to stop, question or search someone.
Sen. Steve Yarbrough, R-Chandler, said there already are plenty of court rulings that spell out when police officers can use "profiles'' of suspected lawbreakers to stop them. And he said police officers in learn about those standards during their training.
He said there is no reason to single out special mention of certain groups that are entitled to special mention.
"How 'bout persons who wear military uniforms?'' Yarbrough asked. "Certainly they ought to be included as a protected class.''
Ditto for young people.
"Or what about little old ladies with grey hair?'' he continued.
"I are one of those little old ladies with grey hair,'' Burges quipped in response. And she said a similar anti-profiling training requirement adopted by the state of Washington works "very well.''

Numerology Predictions For 2014
Numerological predictions for 2014-2015 are based on your birthdate and name which provide you with your personal year number for 2014.
What is described is a quick overview of the coming year January 1 through December 31 of 2014. In this case it is the time for ending many things and making transitions to new things. The old will be cleared away and the new will then have space in your life.
This is a summary of the year and then it goes on to describe a little bit more detail about exactly what will happen during the year 2014. For e.g. as a number 4 you would reach certain goals bringing certain activities to close. Recognize when you have been own worst enemy and help things to reach a suitable resolution. Also knowing when this has happened in the past may help you to avoid the same mistake in the future.
Numerology predictions can also give you a series of monthly highlights. In January for this particular prediction a 4 is seen to be seeking independence. You need to pinpoint your ongoing ventures, and also conclude many of these things in 2014.
You also learn with which you will need to continue through the end of the year. You are provided with a monthly guide to give you a feel for what you need to be doing to move forward successfully in 2014.
It is very difficult to do a numerology prediction simply for the year. Because each individual has their own number and the number is a huge influence on what will happen to the individual during the year.
But this may give the flavor of how the numerology calculator will describe your year 2014. With first a brief summary of what the trends for the year are and a brief detail of each of the months.

After a review of annual rainfall and other information, a water shortage has been declared in the City of Grover Beach.
On Monday, the City Council declared the State II Water Shortage condition, which is a moderate voluntary measure that asks staff to continue water consumption reduction methods.
It also encourages businesses or people that live in the area to conserve and limit their water use by not using potable water for street cleaning, not washing sidewalks or roadways if another reasonable alternative is available, and not using it for construction purposes if other methods are available.
Residents and businesses in Grover Beach are also encouraged to not use water from a fire hydrant unless authorized, to maintain water levels in private pools, but not refill existing pools, and to use quick-acting shut-off nozzles on hoses when washing vehicles, sidewalks, and driveways.
To find out about other methods encouraged to save water or for more information, call the City of Grover Beach Public Works Department at (805) 473-4520 or the Administrative Services Department at (805) 473-4550.
The City of Grover Beach receives water from groundwater wells and the Lopez Lake Water Reservoir.
Officials say a moderate water shortage is approaching due to below average rainfall and shortage levels in Lopez Lake.

There's always been something that bugged me about hockey.
No, it isn't the appropriate split of hockey-related revenue between the NHL and NHLPA, it's something far more general and less specific to the actual problems facing the National Hockey League.
It's the assist. I never really "got" the assist. Sure, I've used assists, and by proxy, points, as a marker for a hockey player's offensive talent, but it seems rather simplistic and arbitrary. Why "two" assists? At what point did the hockey establishment decide that "two" passes before a goal was a perfectly acceptable way of conveying participation in the play?
A lot of television analysts, a lot of whom would probably shy away from the use of modern analytical tools such as Corsi or TOIQualComp, use numbers quite often in their assessment of players. It was a big thing this week when Taylor Hall got his contract extension, analysts were using Jordan Eberle's point totals to argue that he ought to get a similar deal.
Eberle has 119 points in 147 NHL games, or 0.81 per game. Hall has 95 points in 126 NHL games, or 0.75 per game. The argument being that Eberle is as valuable, if not more valuable, than Hall and deserves a similar contract based purely on his point production. But that contains a lot of assists. Arbitrary assists that I don't believe tell too much of a story.
It's troubling to find the history of the assist online. I do know that there used to be a single assist awarded for goals, but it was discretionary. In 1918, the NHL's first season, there were 342 goals scored, but just 142 awarded assists. Harry Cameron, Cy Denneny and Reg Noble, who led the league with 10 assists each that season, scored a combined 83 goals. The NHL officially didn't start recording the assist until 1919 however, so I imagine those 142 assists were awarded on the discretion of sportswriters covering the game and not officials.
In the 1921 season, Jack Darragh of the original Ottawa Senators was the first player to record more assists than goals—11 goals and 15 assists—as officials began to evidently become less discretionary. 1930 seems to be the year that the assist truly took over and became a factor in the scoring race: Frank Boucher of the New York Rangers was second in point scoring with a 26-goal, 36-assist campaign, beating out Dit Clapper's 41-goal, 20-assist campaign by a single point.
It seems like is was the tool of a sportswriter, the assist a noble concession to a forward joining the rush but who didn't score. In the days before the forward pass, it was probably more important, since players gained the zone by stick handling up ice, and credit had to be given in some form to a player who did all the work on the play.
But why now? What is the value of the assist in today's game other than "well, people have always been tabulating assists?" I think that the game has changed enough and that so often, players are given credit on a particular goal—a strong outlet pass, a defiant screen on a powerful point shot—but not 'official' credit.
mc79hockey, on the Edmonton Oilers' ability to get scoring chances when Hall is on the ice:
I think if other guys on the ice are good at getting the puck going the right way, Taylor Hall's scoring chance numbers will be better than if they weren't. Even things that aren't scoring chances, like breaking the cycle in your own end and getting the puck heading the right direction, or keeping a puck in at the blueline, or consistently winning battles…even if these things don't lead directly to scoring chances, they create a climate in which scoring chances are more likely to happen.
That said, there isn't a person who takes stats seriously who wouldn't love to have some sort of a system that accurately meted out individual contribution. It is exactly what you want to find if you're interested in poking around with this stuff.
I like the idea behind tabulating individual scoring chances, and for a few games last season I also awarded, on a discretionary basis, a "scoring chance assist" defined as a player who made a deliberate play to set up a teammate for a clear scoring chance. These were handed out rarely and usually accounted for half of the total chances.
But one of the problems I see with assists is that it arbitrarily measures production and falsely assumes that no more than three teammates can create a successful offensive play. The game has changed a lot since 1930, and teams work together as units rather than a collection of individuals. In the 30s, there was a wider gap in skill between players, that's less pronounced now.
Teams work together as units to establish a breakout, to provide support in the neutral zone, to gain the offensive zone, and even in the chaos of the attacking zone, players and defencemen have structured roles. If Jordan Eberle scores more points than Taylor Hall, it doesn't change the fact that the Oilers are in better position to score more goals with Hall on the ice rather than Eberle. It means Eberle plays closer to the net and doesn't do those little things described above.
I'm not suggesting to ignore the assist entirely, as, like all numbers, it tells a certain story of what happened when a player was on the ice, but immense value is placed in assist and point numbers which seems rather arbitrary to me. Traditional assist and point tabulations I don't think count up and split the contributions evenly, and that all needs to be put in a certain context.

The portable store
Efa frozen yogurt has created a store within a store. The main store is composed of different design elements, such as the service counter and seating booths, that all work independently within the space.
Why it matters
The design team behind the shop created these different elements in order to emulate the brand itself. The product is transportable and adaptable to new situations. The store itself is now built in the same way.
How can you translate your products personality or function to all touch points including the retail space itself?
Making an omelette without breaking eggs
The Egg-bot is a new 3D printer capable of printing on spherical objects that range from the size of a ping-pong ball to a large orange. Utilizing the Egg-Bot, artist Dnewman printed a recipe for an omelet right onto an egg.
Why it matters
In addition to the plethora of uses a spherical printer presents, Dnewman's artistic food endeavor showcases a new way to both capitalize on space and make packaging relevant. Perhaps the egg is the new outdoor billboard. Could your brand benefit from applying it's messages or added value information directly onto products themselves?
Comcast goes Skype
Cable services provider Comcast has partnered with voice-over-IP provider Skype to give customers HD video calling capability over their TVs.
Why it matters
The ability to make and receive video calls and send instant messages is a giant leap towards socialising the content consumption experience. Now, consumers will be able to not only share but also engage more deeply with content than ever before. How can your brand capitalize on both the ability to socialise your brand but also your TV spot as well?

When is Clean Monday? |
Also known as Orthodox Shrove Monday or Ash Monday. In Cyprus, the holiday may be called 'Green Monday'.
Clean Monday begins the season of Great Lent in Eastern Orthodox Churches.
Great Lent corresponds to Lent as found in Western Christianity, though the length of the periods are calculated in different ways. They both use a period of 40 days between the beginning and end of Lent, because of the 40 days that Jesus is said to have spent fasting the desert. However, Western Christendom doesn't count Sundays because Jesus is recorded as having resurrected on a Sunday, whereas Eastern Orthodox churches do count Sundays.
This first day of Great Lent is called "Clean Monday" because Christians should begin the holy season with "clean hearts and good intentions." It is also because the season of Lent is regarded as a time for when Christians should clean up their spiritual house, coming to terms with their lives and rededicating themselves to a more holy and righteous way of living.
Clean Monday is a day of strict fasting. Christians are not allowed to eat from midnight to noon and can have no meat at all. Christians are also expected to spend extra time praying during the day and reading from the Bible.
Because Clean Monday is also considered to mark the first day of spring, Greeks tend to celebrate it with outdoor activities and picnics rather than fasting and prayer.
Traditional foods include olives, octopus, and shrimp. In addition to picnics, outdoor activities used to celebrate the day include flying kites, dancing, music, etc.
