Eastern Michigan University Accelerated BSN Fall 2011
0Apr 7, '11 by MelBell2005Hi! I was wondering if anyone was applying to Eastern Michigan's Accelerated BSN program in May 2011 to start in the fall of 2011?
0Apr 8, '11 by MelBell2005Hi! I have the nursing department web site link
If you go to the quick links drop down on the right side of the page and you can select BSN and that will give you more information on their nursing program. -
0May 13, '11 by emuNurseRamboI submitted my application for the 2nd bachelors program a few weeks ago. I took all of the prerequisites at EMU and have a 4.0 gpa. I also have all 20 points from the TEAS test. Don't have any health care experience. I worked hard to earn this opportunity and hope to make the cut.
If I do get accepted I am not sure what happens next. I know there is a background check but do I need to take a physical or drug test? When do classes begin? I have heard that if you are selected there are some required activities in August.
Any guidance about what happens once you are accepted is appreciated. -
0Jun 16, '11 by MelBell2005Congratulations on your acceptance! I am thinking of applying next year. Its been a couple of years since I have been to an information session, so I am thinking of going to one this summer. I know they have a point system, but I was just curious how many points a person needs to be competitive.
0Jun 19, '11 by mohiMelBell2005,
I would like to know how are you planing to earn more points to get into the program next year. I have applied this year with GPA 4.0 from LCC, TEAS 15/20 and have health experience. I didn't get in the program, so I am planing to work hard and try my luck next year.
Where did you take classes ? How are you planing to earn more points ? Please discuss if you can.

Great city and good food
Well, what to say, Valencia is a really nice city: Developed between the old town or 'Barrio viejo' and the new area of Calatrava's structure, it can satisfy all your requests as traveller. Food is really good, expecially the paella which you can't miss.
Insider Tip:It worth a day trip to Albufera's lake, 10km from Valencia; there you can eat the best paella on the beach and have a ride on fisherman boar by the sunset on the lake.. just amazing

Wealth Markets in China: Seeking the Opportunity to Lead
By the end of 2011, the total value of investable assets of Chinese individuals is set to reach RMB 62 trillion, an increase of about 14 percent year on year. Of that RMB 62 trillion, RMB 27 trillion will be held by high-net-worth (HNW) households, each with at least RMB 6 million in investable assets. At the same time, the total number of Chinese HNW households is set to reach 1.21 million. The rapid growth of China's economy and financial industry is the core driver of the private-banking industry and the assets held by HNW individuals. The Boston Consulting Group (BCG) and the China Construction Bank (CCB) have worked together to assess China's wealth market and the key characteristics of the affluent population based on detailed modeling of the present and future of China's wealth market, through surveys of more than 2,000 high net worth (HNW) individuals, and with interviews with a number of private bank relationship managers. As a result, this report aims to present a clear group profile of private banking clients and many other findings of China's wealth market.

I just keep wondering... In all this talk about the end of the 2A and blanket gun confiscations--who is going to enforce this, and how are they going to do it? How many gun owners are there in the US? Okay, now how many cops? And just how many of those cops are going to support this? (Hint: Surveys show that most cops are in favor of CCW.) FBI and BATFE cops will probably be willing--but just how many of them ARE there? Randy Weaver and his family in a cabin on Ruby Ridge is one thing--or even David Koresh and a few dozen followers in a few buildings outside of Waco--but are there enough Feds to disarm, say, all of Waco's citizens at once? I think if they put every Federal agent in the country on the job at the same time, they'd have a hard time covering even one good-sized neighborhood. The local cops aren't likely to be much help; some of them LIVE in that neighborhood. Will they try to use the Army? How many of THEM will be willing? (Hint: 80+% of the US Military reliably votes Republican.) Going to Iraq or Afghanistan is one thing, but I suspect that when the word comes down that their unit is being deployed to Iowa City or Wichita Falls to take people's guns away, a heluva lot of soldiers are going to have "family emergencies" (or just turn up AWOL) so they can go home and help Mom and Dad keep their guns. Or maybe, "Gee, Lieutenant (*cough*), everyone in the company has the flu... (*cough*)Seems to be an epidemic, all over the base..." Our troops are used to fighting people who speak a different language, wear funny clothes, and are trying to kill them. I doubt they'd be real happy about going after ordinary Americans in towns like the ones where they grew up. In any case, if the Feds can't even do Waco all at once, what about the rest of the country? It would be AB-SO-LUTE-LY impossible to forcibly disarm the entire US of A on the same day; therefore, there are two alternatives: (1) Just issue an order that everyone has to bring in their guns and ammunition and turn them over to the Authorities. How many of you will be ready to do that? Hands? Hmmm. Can't see any from here. okay, that leaves: (2) Disarm the people one neighborhood--or, optimistically, one city or county--at a time in any given area (leaving aside just how many areas could be disarmed at once, even if they managed to come up with some units that would actually do it). Time to rise up and fight them off? Well, maybe--but why would that be necessary? My brother lives in Greenville, about half an hour's drive from here; I have cousins in central Texas, in the Panhandle, and all over. When they come for my guns--"Oh, sorry, Officer, I sold all my guns when I saw this coming down. Go ahead, search the place if you like..." and when they come for my brother's guns, they'll be here. Nonviolent resistance on a massive scale. And how could they stop it? Shut down the whole country and prohibit travel while the confiscations go on--for months? Oh, if they catch me later, they can put me in jail? Right. Have you seen all the T-shirts that say "You can't deport us all"? There are a lot more gun owners than illegal aliens. You think the War on Drugs takes up a lot of law enforcement's time and energy? The War on Guns will make that look like enforcing the shoplifting laws. Far be it from me to say there's nothing to worry about. We need to be vigilant. But... Well, remember how well Prohibition worked out? There were probably more people that started drinking then than at any time in US history. Lots of people made a good living from moonshining, rumrunning and owning or managing speakeasies--and EVERYBODY knew where they could get a drink. We Americans just don't change our habits that easily--especially when we're told we HAVE to, by the government or anyone else. If Confiscation ever happens, it won't be over in one day, any more than Prohibition was. That battle will just be beginning, and will go on for years--and the antis will be on the defensive, and losing, from Day One of it. If they DO try to take away our guns, get ready to become a firearms instructor--and an illegal gun dealer. There's going to be a huge demand for both.

Could you please cite the sources for the statistics that you're using?
They have been training military personel from other contries for years, they would never use our own to do the job on a scale that big, That way when you resist they will gun you down where you stand, an American service man would have a morale problem with that, A Russian or what ever would not!!! It is sad to say most will hand them right over opposed to putting there family at risk, there are a few die hards out there that they will have to fight to the death, but probably not as many as you would think, you have to first ask your self are you ready to become a fugitive from the law because you are going to have to drop the hammer on these SOB when the come knocken on your door, now you are wanted for murder, what kind of life would that be, as you know you cannot hide forever in this day in age, I hate to sound negetive but an less total anarchy breakes out and the whole country comes together as a hole you will be more alone than you have ever been in your life. They, the government run test on us to see how we will respond to differant things all the time, for instance Katrina, I did not hear one thing about any retaliation when the took law biding citizens firearmes in New Orleans, not one fatality, that means nobody was willing to stand up to them!!! now the government knowes that they can freely do what the set out to do with out any problems, Just like they did in the L.A. Riotes, you now that it is unconstitusional to use American troops on our soil against our own people, but they did it and what did we do, we cheeres because they brought peace, Again we let them know they can run all over our rights
If you run your just going to die tired!!!
The door-to-door method using local cops and the National Guard worked in New Orleans. You would hope the majority of those being ordered to carry something like this out would refuse, but I'm pretty sure most would follow orders. They would be deployed away from their homes so they wouldn't be ordered to disarm friends or family. There is no way I would turn any firearms over in a situation like you describe.
I continued looking, and found another, longer, version of the survey. http://www.theforbiddenknowledge.com/hardtruth/palms_survey.htm (That one is from a pretty far out web site, so you may want to take it with a pinch of salt.) Another site has yet another version;http://www.inlibertyandfreedom.com/miltarysurvey.htm Etc. http://darksavantministries.tripod.com/page53.htm Google "JOINT SERVICES TRAINING COMBAT ARMS SURVEY" and you can chose from 105,000 hits.
Rickrem, you seem to be looking at the national domestic aspect of the movement only. Add the historical context - the lessons of the civilian weapons bans which fostered Korean martial arts, as well as the modern (1939+) efforts - to the autocratic globalism that has been festering since Marxist-Leninism. (Did you vote for the Secretary-General of the UN? Who did?) The autocratic advocates of gun confiscation take a very long view. Piecemeal, gradual, and obscure Treaty and Trade Agreement action will merely stand available for later application against an easily "demonizable" exemplar. (Remember the so-called SARS epidemic? Did you notice the quietly enacted legislation which allows medical quarantine without consent, habeus corpus, counsel, even a phone call?) Infantry in blue helmets is not likely. Your cousin losing his voting privilege for the new felony of possession of venison is likely; my being found by thru-the-wall infrared thermography to have an old Mossberg 500 is likely; will ground - penetrating radar locate some short sections of PVC pipe in your back yard . In the near term - say, five to seven years - abrupt and catastrophic economic collapse is almost unavoidable. (For the first time in [U]my[U] life the Canadian dollar is worth more than the USD.) Don't take my word for it; study history - I suggest that the pre-Hitler Weimar Republic may be instructive. That may seem to be off the thread, but my point is that helicopters-with-no-tail-numbers coming for your rifle is not imminent unless you give them some other pretext.
Can they really do that? To legally confiscate our weapons,wouldan't they have to amend the constitution? And what about the money involved? Sales from Imported weapons,along with domestic companies is much,much to high to just stop...the government these days seems like they let big buisness rule most of their decisions as of late [Refering to the pharmacutical conspiracys about the FDA]. Theres to much cash flow to just put a stop to it all in one day..That violates the free enterprise acts as well. Alot has to be voted on in congress and the senate to even begin to pass such a law... And even so,even if a law such as that comes to pass,and they amend the constitution. I'm sure the public will be well aware of it and be taking apropriate steps to keep their guns. Say,worst case scenario..they do amend the constitution and the men in uniforms came for our weapons,chances are,yes,in many larger cities,people will give them up willingly. However,in small backwater,hick towns,much like the one I inhabit,where everyone has a 22 or a 12 gauge,drinks beer every day,and flies a rebel flag...I think they'lle be fighting house to house. If they run over our rights,IMO,they can rule our lives..and quite frankly,I'll be shacking up with my dad and grandfather,making a stand against it..they'lle have to pry our weapons from our cold dead hands...at least we'll go down fighting for what we believe is right.... "The Thing I treasure most in life,cannot be taken away,there will never be a reason why,I should surrender to your advice to,change myself I'd rather die,knowing they'lle not understand. I won't make the greatest sacrafice,you can't predict where the outcome lies,you'lle never take me alive" Chorus from "Alive" by Disturbed I treasure my rights the most,and I dang sure won't give 'em up while I can still cock and fire my weapon.

"I ordered these for my wedding for the tables and place cards. i then called to place a smaller order of the same cards with no writing on them so i can use them to label some family photos and favors etc. they came with the writing on them so i called and they fixed the problem right away and overnighted the correct cards."
"In agonizing over how to address placards, it became obvious due to the size that one per person was necessary and I hadn't ordered enough. Re ordered and recd in time for my wedding!"
"Really love these place cards - they are nicely oversized and leave plenty of room to print. I am using them with wine corks as the holder and cutting off the back side that is used to make them stand alone."
"The table cards for our wedding are very elegant and the color is so rich. I was pleasantly surprised the cards were much nicer than on the website. We are ordering menus and programs as well. We ordered our invitations here and they are beautiful!! We've gotten so many compliments."
"We are getting married in Sonoma County surrounded by vineyards. I looked all over to find something that fit with our location. I am glad I found this - they are very nice, and good quality!"

ILWU Labor Negotiations
ILWU Labor Negotiations
All eyes are on the U.S. West Coast, where negotiations between the International Longshore and Warehouse Union and the Pacific Maritime Association continue despite the expiration of the parties' current contract. Talks began on May 12 and cover a variety of hot-button issues. For full details, and more information on the tumultuous relationship between dockworkers and the PMA, consult our FAQ.
Special Coverage
If there is one observation that stands out from the experience of 2014, it's the complete absence of concern for the shipper in U.S. longshore negotiations. It is fundamentally anachronistic that those who ultimately pay the bills and whose business creates not only all the longshore jobs but also millions more in the larger economy, should suffer the neglect and business disruption shippers do in the U.S. when confronted with labor-management issues on the waterfront.

Wednesday, June 4th, 2014Summer weather means one thing and one thing only; time to break out the grill and make some s'mores! Enjoying a glowing fire outside can be fun! You can even learn how you can add a few ingredients found at the grocery store to make colored flames!
Before we get ahead of ourselves, let's review safe outdoor grilling and bon fire procedures to keep you and your family safe. The CPSC recently recalled this outdoor fire pit so make sure you check if your model was affected if you shopped at Christmas Tree Shops.
Outdoor Grilling Statistics
The statistics below will raise an eye-brow about the dangers associated with outdoor grilling. No, I'm not suggesting we hide inside, only that we grill responsibly!
National Fire Protection Association Statistic:
- 27% of house fires originated from outdoor grills in the courtyard, terrace, or patio.
- 43% of fires caused by outdoor grills at home were a result of outdoor gas grills.
- 29% of gas grill structure fires started when a flammable/combustible gas or liquid caught fire.
Choosing Between an Outdoor Fireplace and an Outdoor Fire Pit
Sunday, April 27th, 2014When it comes times to renovate the backyard patio, many homeowners ask themselves the same question. "Should I get an outdoor fireplace or a fire pit?" The answer ultimately depends on the purpose of your outdoor heating element, your budget, and the climatic conditions of your geographic region.
Patio Heaters Warm Up the Night
Saturday, January 4th, 2014Ever wish that you could change the weather? Well you can with a simple patio heater! You may have noticed heating units at luxury restaurants, hotel lofts, and other outdoor venues. Patio heaters allow you to enjoy the evening without having to worry about cold weather, wind, or bringing an extra jacket.
If you're skeptical about the amount of heat these patio heaters provide, try for yourself. Stand around a warm patio heater for just a few seconds and you will know that they provide ample heat for a toasty backyard bash! Here are some of the different styles of patio heaters that you may find suitable for your application.
Stainless Steel Patio Heaters
Stainless steel is among the most durable metals used for home furnishing. To top it off, the stylish finish is visually enticing and easy to clean. Patio heaters can update your deck with a modern look that will revitalize your backyard.
Pictured below is the 89" Lotus Stainless Steel Commercial Patio Heater. Weighing just over 45 pounds, the Lotus Patio heater packs a real punch. This stainless steel patio heater boasts a 46,000 BTU heating capacity. To put this in context, a normal house requires 20,000-25,000 BTU's. Stainless steel patio heaters are the best way to go if you are deciding based on heating capacity.

Is an Outdoor Fireplace Right for You?
Monday, July 15th, 2013An outdoor fireplace adds to the overall beauty and maximum use of your pool area, patio, or backyard. You can go for the modern gel, gas, or electric fireplace models, or opt for the traditional fireplace that burns wood. Both will offer a unique charm and vibrancy to your outdoors.
Patio Heaters: Enjoy the Outdoors Even on the Coldest of Days
Tuesday, May 7th, 2013Most people enjoy spending time outdoors in the evening, unwinding with their family or friends. The patio offers people some of the comforts of the indoors as well as the informality of the outdoors. Watching the stars or the fireflies can be very soothing after a day cooped up inside whether at home or in the office. However, the patio cannot be used when it is very cold outside in the evenings, unless you have some way of heating it up and keeping the place warm.
Patio Heaters Perfect for Outdoor Dining and Lounging!
Monday, March 5th, 2012What is a patio heater and how effectively can it keep my guests and or customers warm? The most common patio heaters are the mushroom heaters, the heat shroud at the top is what gives it the nickname "mushroom," mushroom heaters are powered by propane and or gas and provides up to 40,000 BTU's of heat. They provide great supplemental warmth and are most effective in dining areas and or patio decks. Restaurants will normally carry at least five or more patio heaters as they are both aesthetically appealing and effective in providing supplemental warmth in outdoor settings. The stainless steel Firesense patio heater below is commonly found in many commercial settings.
Outdoor Heaters can Provide Four Seasons of Enjoyment
Friday, January 13th, 2012Don't let the cold weather prevent you from enjoying the beautiful outdoors. Patio Heaters are available in many styles and models that are sure to be the perfect solution for your outdoor heating needs. Quality outdoor heaters are important for providing the warmth you need to customers, family, or friends. They offer efficient heating and can use gas, propane, or electricity as the power source based on the style of the patio heater. Restaurants often use patio heaters for ambiance and to provide warmth to their outdoor dining section. The large variety of patio heaters allow for multiple heating options that you can select to provide four seasons of warmth and enjoyment. Different styles of outdoor heaters include floor standing heaters, tabletop heaters, ceiling heaters that mount to any ceiling, and outdoor fire pits that are often in the form of a low coffee table with a gas or propane fueled firepit in the middle.

"Just wanted to say hello, and tell you how pleased we were with the training sessions that Tom did at our school in the last two weeks. He was excellent - adaptable, honest, helpful, and smart, and really personalized the presentation to our needs. It was very valuable learning for our staff, and presented in a meaningful and powerful way".
"I just wanted to drop you a line and let you know that I had the opportunity to attend the Understanding Mental Illness class taught by one Tom Walker last week in London. In my 14 years in Autism Services, I have never ONCE had the privilege of sitting in on an education or training handled as brilliantly as this one. Mr. Walker was an absolute phenom, the perfect balance of teacher and facilitator, providing practical concrete examples from his own experiences and drawing the group INTO the discussion and using their experiences to keep EVERYONE involved and excited".
"I honestly could not GUSH anymore about his presentation. I consider it an honour and a privilege to have been a part of it, and thought it would be the least I could do to let you all know how touched I have been by the entire experience".
"In the past 5 days, I have passed on his contact to every director, manager and coordinator at my organization, as well as the Alzheimer's Society of Dufferin" (my wife is the First Link Coordinator there).
"Keep on providing fantastic talents like Tom Walker to help people help people".
Thanks so much.
"I really enjoyed this seminar. It was very applicable to my role as an employee in the healthcare field, and working with our clientele. These sessions should be held more frequently to keep staff sharp, in order to help prevent injuries, and give us further knowledge on how to deal, and help our clients before something serious occurs, which could be prevented by taking this training course".
"Very well taught great instructor"!
"Instructor was informative, and made the day flow, so it was interesting and kept my attention".
"Instructor was great, very interactive and gave practical ideas".
"Kristin was a great instructor, very personable, understandable and fun".
"Great job! I was interested the entire day. Very engaging"(haven't always had this in training)
"Great facilitator! Good energy, informative and practical".
"Great Job! Thank you for making this fun and entertaining".
"Having worked in my current position for almost 12 years, and in a custody setting prior to that, I had low expectations re: learning something new. The workshop far exceeded my expectations".
"Awesome! Very interesting, interactive, high energy. Very knowledgeable facilitator with an incredibly relaxed and approachable fun attitude. Loved the entire day"! Thank you!
Hey Tom,
"I just wanted to say thanks again for the VT training you did up here in Parry Sound. You have been the talk of the agency. Everyone took something away from that training.
Everyone is using your little quips whether it be the s#*$$! committee or don't walk in the other persons shoes... look at the shoes, like the shoes".
Thanks again! "It was wonderful and I hope we can get you back up here sometime".

Robbins Umeda LLP Announces The Filing Of A Class Action Suit Against Lime Energy Co.
Shareholder rights firm Robbins Umeda LLP announces the filing of a federal securities class action by an investor in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division, on behalf of purchasers of Lime Energy Co. (NASDAQ: LIME) ("Lime Energy" or the "Company") shares between May 13, 2010 and July 17, 2012 (the "Class Period").
The complaint alleges that Lime Energy and certain of its executive officers issued false or misleading statements concerning the Company's business, operations, and financial prospects. Specifically, it is alleged that defendants misrepresented or failed to disclose that: (i) the Company was improperly recording revenue; (ii) the Company's revenues and financial results were overstated; (iii) the Company's financial statements were not prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles; (iv) that the Company lacked adequate internal and financial controls; and (v) as a result of the foregoing, the Company's financial statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.
On July 17, 2012, Lime Energy issued a press release in which the Company stated: "[b]ased on the results of that partial internal review, the Company's management and the Audit Committee believe that some portion of the Company's revenue was improperly recorded. In some cases, it appears that non-existent revenue may have been recorded. In other cases, it appears that revenue may have been recorded earlier than it should have been." As a result, the Company may need to restate up to $15 million of revenue. On this news, shares of Lime Energy stock fell $0.91 per share, or 45%, to close on July 17, 2012, at just $1.12 per share.
If you purchased or otherwise acquired Lime Energy stock during the Class Period and wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must act no later than September 18, 2012. To discuss your shareholder rights, please contact attorney Gregory E. Del Gaizo at 800-350-6003, via email at email@example.com, or via the shareholder information form.
Robbins Umeda LLP is a nationally recognized leader in securities litigation and shareholder rights law. The firm represents individual and institutional investors in shareholder derivative and securities class action lawsuits, and has helped its clients realize more than $1 billion of value for themselves and the companies in which they have invested.

hi everyone.. does anyone recognize the location of this small lake (1st photo) ? or the location of this camping site (2nd & 3rd) ? both should be near montreal..
Hi everyone,I am planning to go to Quebec City to see a concert in mid-May and would like to get in some hiking around the city. In the autumn of 2013, I hiked L'Acropole des Draveurs (breathtaking!) in Haute-Gorge and also Jacques-Cartier National Park to the north of the city.
I was wondering if there are other suggestions as well to check out (particularly if it's got a splendid or scenic views like L'Acropole).
Thanks, Joe
Is it best to take the train and use a cab to get around for the weekend? Are cabs expensive? Thanks!
We'll be staying in Montreal for 3 weeks in the summer and would like to visit a nice vineyard. It seems like most of them will serve you a few little taster glasses and try to sell you a few bottles of wine. Are there any that have more of a restaurant/hotel set up where you could actually stay the night?
Anywhere within say a 2 or 3 hour driving distance from Montreal would be suitable to us.

Quirky News
Holiday fort for the day
A historic sea fort has undergone a £3million transformation to become an unlikely luxury retreat.
Spitbank Fort, in the middle of the Solent, was withstand a French assault and boasts the 15ft thick granite walls.
The 134-year-old fort stands a mile out to sea, and the only way to reach the £350-a-night hotel is via taxi boat.
The unique destination boasts nine rooms, a Crow's Nest bar, hot tub, sun deck, gaming table and a restaurant.
There's even a firepit where visitors can sit on cool winter evenings to watch sailing boats, cruise liners or warships floating by.
Many of the original features have been kept intact and incorporated into the new design, with gun ports transformed into bedroom windows and gunpowder rooms enlisted as cosy snugs.
Groups of 18 can hire the fort exclusively for £5,000, which includes lunch upon arrival, champagne reception, a three-course dinner and breakfast the following morning.
Mark Watts, general manager of the hotel, said: "It was an empty shell when we bought it in 2010.
"It has been used for various things in the past but we had this plan to turn it into a luxury hotel in the middle of the Solent.
"We've been open for five months now and we've had an amazing response."

The older Kazionov was scoreless in Kazan's blanking of Novokuznetsk, playing 12:31 in the match. Kazan was led by a pair of goals from former NHLer Niko Kapanen. For anyone wondering whatever happened to former Lightning first rounder Nikita Alexeev, the big winger has 1 goal and 2 points in 23 games with Kazan, and has averaged just 10:06 in ice time per game. Kazionov, by comparison, has averaged 13:09 per match.
KHK MVD 2 @ Magnitogorsk 0
Vasily Koshechkin, Magnitogorsk, DNP
Season totals: 34 GP, 17-14, 5 SO, 2.04 GAA, .924 sv%
Like Ramo, Koshechkin also got Christmas Day off. Former Chicago Blackhawks first rounder Pavel Vorobiev scored the winning goal for KHK MVD.
Spartak Moscow 3 @ Ekaterinburg 2 (SO)
Denis Kazionov, Ekaterinburg, 0-0-0, E, 0 PIM, 2 SOG
Season totals: 33 GP, 4-3-7, -12, 10 PIM
The younger Kazionov played 11:30 in the loss for Ekaterinburg.
KHL Game Day: 12-23-09

Omsk 2 @ Mytischi 4
Karri Ramo, Omsk, Loss, 15/18, 3.04 GAA, .833 sv%
Season totals: 28 GP, 15-12, 3 SO, 2.03 GAA, .913 sv%
Former NHLer Oleg Petrov had a pair of goals, including the game winner, to help propel Mytischi over Omsk 4-2. Former Lightning draft pick Alexei Glukhov had a helper in the match for Mytischi.
Togliatti 3 @ Magnitogorsk 5
Vasily Koshechkin, Magnitogorsk, DNP
Season totals: 34 GP, 17-14, 5 SO, 2.04 GAA, .924 sv%
Koshechkin has had three opportunities to play against his old club, and he has not played in each of the three games. Magnitogorsk got 1 goal and 1 assist from Sergei Fedorov in the game.
Kazan 2 @ Chelyabinsk 1 (SO)
Dmitri Kazionov, Kazan, 0-0-0, -1, 0 PIM, 1 SOG
Season totals: 35 GP, 11-2-13, E, 12 PIM
Kazan got a third period goal from former NHLer Niko Kapanen and then shootout goals from Danis Zaripov and KHL superstar Alexei Morozov to pull out a 2-1 win over Chelyabinsk. The elder Kazionov played 13:05 in the match.
Nizhnekamsk 5 @ Ekaterinburg 2
Denis Kazionov, Ekaterinburg, 0-0-0, -1, 0 PIM, 0 SOG
Season totals: 32 GP, 4-3-7, -12, 10 PIM
The younger Kazionov brother played 12:00 in the match.
Dynamo Minsk 2 @ Dynamo Moscow 3
Johan Harju, Dynamo Moscow, 0-1-1, E, 0 PIM, 0 SOG
Season totals: 36 GP, 3-8-11, -4, 26 PIM
Harju played 16:06 in the match and was 42% on draws. His helper came on Linus Omark's 16th goal of the season. It's been an interesting role reversal from Harju and Omark's Elitserien days in Sweden where Harju was the goal scorer and Omark was the setup man.
Channel One Cup: Day Three
Submitted by pete on December 20, 2009 - 19:21Russia 4 @ Czech Republic 3 (SO)
Vasily Koshechkin, Russia, Win, 34/37, 2.77 GAA, .919 sv%
Koshechkin stopped 34 of 37 shots in regulation and overtime and blanked the Czechs in the penalty shot session to record the shootout win. Sergey Mozyakin potted the winning marker in the shootout for the Russians.
Finland 4 @ Sweden 3 (SO)
Johan Harju, Sweden, 0-0-0, E, 0 PIM, 1 SOG
Harju and lifelong teammate Linus Omark moved back up to Sweden's second line in the game, and Omark responded with 1 goal and 1 assist in the game. But, it was Jarkko Immonen's shootout goal that sealed the win for the Finns. With the victory, the Finns clinched the Channel One Cup despite a very pedestrian 1-0-2 record. Sweden finished last in the tournament with a 0-1-2 record.
Channel One Cup: Day Two
Submitted by pete on December 20, 2009 - 00:43Russia 2 @ Finland 3
Vasily Koshechkin, Russia, DNP
Koshechkin dressed, but was the backup on Saturday for the Russians. Finland got a goal from Petri Kontiola with 7 seconds left in regulation to take the win. The centerman, ironically, is Koshechkin's teammate with Magnitogorsk of the KHL.
Czech Republic 3 @ Sweden 4 (OT)
Johan Harju, Sweden, 0-0-0, E, 0 PIM, 0 SOG
Harju played on the third line for Sweden in the game. Former NHLer Mattias Weinhandl scored the overtime winner for the Swedes. Weinhandl is Harju's teammate in the KHL with Dynamo Moscow.
Channel One Cup: Day One
Submitted by pete on December 18, 2009 - 18:18Sweden 3 @ Russia 4
Vasily Koshechkin, Russia, DNP
Johan Harju, Sweden, 0-0-0, E, 0 PIM, 1 SOG
In yesterday's opener of the Channel One Cup, Russia got a third period power play marker from Sergey Vinoviev to defeat Sweden 4-3. Lightning prospect Johan Harju played on the second line for Team Sweden. Goaltender Vasily Koshechkin did not dress for the Russians.


text: I made a resolution to lose weight after getting up to a size 24 pant size (yikes!) At the beginning of the school year. I have walked 5 times a week, ate better and better, and started line dancing the fall 2012 semester. I had to have wrist surgery the week before Christmas so that stopped my progress for a whole month with the severity but now I'm doing better. When the new semester began, I decided to ramp it up and join the school gym. I just tried on some pants from high school today and they fit! I'm a size 16 now! I never thought I would make it this far but I'm so happy I'm here. Everyone, keep it up. You will be amazed at what you can do. Never stop improving. I'm almost halfway to my fitness goals and I can already tell the difference (no more huffing and puffing at the top of the stairs :D). Remember, it's an investment in yourself.

There are a few points I just want to bring up as to why this new game mode won't be as exciting as One For All or Snowdown Showdown. I'll also give a few ideas on how to make the game mode much better. As always these are just my opinions. Others might disagree with them. The game is no different than a normal Summoner's Rift match. The only difference is that each team has 6 players. Of course, it's going to be something relatively new to us - but that's only because we've had the same three game modes for years now. A few things that could have made this game better: 1) Increased team size. Sure, having a 6th player mixes up the established meta very slightly but imagine if you had 10 players? You could have certain squads of players (with their own AD/AP carries and peelers) who roam around looking for players and objectives to pick off in the mid game. Of course objectives, minions and towers would all have to be buffed in order to sustain all 10 players. 2) Minion waves should have more minions. Towers should deal more damage and it should take more damage to destroy one. Objectives such as Baron and Dragon should have tons more health and deal much higher damage - make them feel like actual raid bosses! Buffs should spawn every 2-3 minutes instead of every 5 so that junglers may share the buffs. And that's just off the top of my head. Simply adding an extra player is not really an exciting change to the same old game mode we all play. Please reconsider making the game mode more exciting - either through the ideas in this thread or through other ideas.
Senior Member
Really, any "new game mode" that Riot has been introducing could all be thrown together into some custom game edit menu. What they are doing right now just looks like a pathetic excuse to actually fill in the empty slots in the Play menu. Anyways, 10 vs. 10 on Summoner's Rift sounds ridiculously crowded. Early game ganks sound terribly unfun when 5+ people could potentially dive you. Additionally, teamfights would really just turn into AoE stacking frenzies, and by the 6th or 7th champion's spell rotation, it just becomes overkill. 10 v. 10 would require a larger map.
10 v 10 would be realy fun on dominion imo, then again, dominion is a myth.
10 vs 10 meta would most likely be: x3 top x3 mid x3 bot x1 jungler Problem with this is how easily people are 3 vs 1'ing in hexakill now, so I don't see a 10 vs 10 unless turrets AOE hit every single champion trying to dive, not just focusing one. Just my input into this...
Manly Taric
The answer is always Karthus
Phoenix vX
I'd rather have a 4v4v4 mode than 6v6.
VP of Game Design
I think there may be server issues right now for 10 -- the game previously ran at 6v6 very early in development, but I don't know if as much groundwork has been done for 10v10. Of course, we can do it... It's just that we have to prioritize on what we can give you guys and how quickly we can do it. As for minions, good suggestion, I'll mention it to the team to consider. As a general point, the reason we launch modes as featured game modes is because we think they will be fun and novel for some period of time, but not forever. If we find one that is awesome and has legs, we might 'promote' it, but we aren't planning to. So, I think your critique about Hexakill's longevity is fair, but that's why it is part of a featured game mode. Fun for a while though!
I suspect that Hexakill would be MUCH more fun on Twisted Treeline rather than Rift. This was a thing a few years ago until it got patched out and it was hilariously chaotic fun. That many players crammed into such a small map was great.

The TJX Companies, Inc. Reports 41% Increase In First Quarter Adjusted EPS; Sees Strong Momentum Continue
The TJX Companies, Inc. and Consolidated SubsidiariesNotes to Consolidated Condensed Statements
- On January 5, 2012, TJX announced that its Board of Directors approved a two-for-one stock split of the Company's common stock in the form of a stock dividend, payable February 2, 2012 to shareholders of record at the close of business on January 17, 2012. The stock split resulted in the issuance of 373 million shares of common stock. All historical per share amounts and references to common stock activity, as well as basic and diluted share amounts, have been adjusted to reflect the two-for-one stock split.
- During the first quarter ended April 28, 2012, TJX repurchased 6.5 million shares of its common stock at a cost of $250 million with $225 million completing the $1 billion stock repurchase plan approved in February 2011 and $25 million being repurchased under the $2 billion stock repurchase program approved by the Board of Directors early in fiscal 2013. TJX records the repurchase of its stock on a cash basis, and the amounts reflected in the financial statements may vary from the above amounts due to the timing of settlement of repurchases.
- In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011, TJX's Board of Directors approved the consolidation of its A.J. Wright division whereby 90 A.J. Wright stores were converted into T.J. Maxx, Marshalls or HomeGoods stores and the remaining 72 stores, its two distribution centers and home office were closed. The majority of the costs to consolidate A.J. Wright were recognized in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011 but due to the timing of the store closings the additional closing costs (primarily lease related obligations) and additional operating losses were reported as a $49 million A.J. Wright segment loss in the first quarter of fiscal 2012. In addition, the first quarter of fiscal 2012 included costs related to the conversion of the 90 A.J. Wright stores to other banners (primarily store payroll and occupancy costs during the approximate eight to twelve-week period in which the stores were closed) and costs related to grand opening events when the stores re-opened. These costs totaled $20 million, with $17 million reflected in the Marmaxx segment and $3 million in the HomeGoods segment for the three months ended April 30, 2011.
The TJX Companies, Inc.Reconciliation of GAAP and Non-GAAP measures
The Company reports its financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (GAAP). However, management believes that certain non-GAAP financial measures used in managing the business may provide users of this financial information additional meaningful comparisons between current results and results in prior operating periods and expectations for future periods. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures can provide additional meaningful reflection of underlying trends of the business because they provide a comparison of historical information that excludes certain items that impact overall comparability. Management also uses these non-GAAP financial measures in making financial, operating and planning decisions and in evaluating the Company's performance. The Tables below provide supplemental non-GAAP financial data and corresponding reconciliations to GAAP financial measures. Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, the Company's reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP.

So where's the other half of the interview? This one was cut too short and now you've got us waiting… Or is this part of the "always leave them wanting more" philosophy? Truly, though, good topic, and it even points out a wonderful Christmas possibility for multiple people in my life.

Alberta Ferretti Spring 2013 | Pictures
Alberta Ferretti Spring 2013
At Alberta Ferretti, soft, ocean-inspired tones and ethereal, Chantilly-lace-infused creations conjured up images of mermaids (we'd want to dress like) and seaside nymphs. Strategic netting clung to pale-hued evening gowns, sheer overlays adorned peekaboo lace shifts, and diamante embellishments created a pretty, water-droplet effect. The aquatic theme kept on, visible in the sea-anemone-like fringe, coral-reef texture, and shell-inspired piping. It felt like we were witnessing an adult version of The Little Mermaid come to life, and this smattering of dresses, cropped trousers, blazers, and pencil skirts offered up proof of its chic re-imagining. As each look floated down the runway — as if the models were attached to invisible moorings — there was no question that next Spring, according to Alberta Ferretti, will be a beautiful one.
- Trends: Iridescence, the bias cut, lace, and sheer detailing.
- Colors: A sea-aquatic palette in every sense — think shades of green and blue, mixed with the palest nudes and pinks.
- Key Piece: The formfitting Chantilly-lace evening gowns that literally look as if they could be a mossy second skin.
- Accessories: Satin pointy-toe pumps, beaded drawstring purses, and aviators-meet-goggles sunglasses.
- Who Should Wear It: We hope Selena Gomez picks one of these jaw-dropping numbers for her next premiere — she would play to the design's otherworldly prettiness.

Hi Pete,
Just wanted to let you know I received the topper last week Friday, and it's astonishing to me that something so small (2" thick) can make such a difference in my life! It's exactly what I needed! When I wake up now in the morning, I no longer have the aching shoulders that I had been experiencing previously from my nice but too firm mattress! Now I have softness and firmness - the perfect combo!
My hubby thinks I should get one for our daughter's bed, so I'll probably be in touch in the next couple of months to get one for her if she decides she wants one.
Thanks again for your advice and great service!
Hi Melanie. You don't know ho that it's made that much of a difference.
I'm glad you're sleeping well.
