NHLPA is more likely to reject #NHL's 50-50 offer than counter it
From what I was told earlier today, NHLPA is more likely to reject #NHL's 50-50 offer than counter it. PA is planning response right now.

I'd be shocked if a week from now whatever the "final" offer is that it doesn't go to NHLPA membership for a vote.
— Bob McKenzie (@TSNBobMcKenzie) October 17, 2012
The NHL put a new offer on the bargaining table for the NHL Players' Association on Tuesday morning, which includes a 50/50 split of hockey-related revenue across the board and contingent on an 82-game season beginning Nov. 2.
"We hope we've given our best shot," NHL commissioner Gary Bettman told reporters on Tuesday afternoon.
Bettman added that the offer calls for no salary rollback and the revised schedule – if implemented – would see one week of training camp and every team playing an extra regular season game every five weeks.
NHLPA executive director Donald Fehr said the offer – which is at least six years in length – would be discussed with his membership in a 5pm et conference call.
"I would like to believe that after we're done with this, as I said, that it'll be an excellent starting point and we can go forward and see if there's a deal to be made," Fehr told reporters on Tuesday.
"Our hope after we review this is that there will be a feeling on the players' side that this will be a proposal from which we can negotiate and try and reach a conclusion."
When asked if the new proposal was an improvement over previous offers tabled by the NHL, Fehr added: "In some respects I think it is in other respects I'm not sure. We have to look at it."
NHL, NHLPA set to discuss core labor issues
Talks between the NHL and its locked out players will resume Tuesday in Toronto, and the economic issues dividing the parties will be discussed after weeks of setting them to the side.
Chief among the issues is a division of revenue on a new collective bargaining agreement.
Deputy commissioner Bill Daly said the latest talks will focus on "moving forward" with that point of contention.
Under the old CBA, which expired Sept. 15 (when the lockout began), players received a 57 percent share of revenue. Owners want their share increased, and players are agreeable. But the union prefers a moving scale of percentages.
There are other issues — ranging from escrow percentages, set terms on contracts and expansion — but Penguins union representative Craig Adams said "a lot has been getting done" in meetings between the NHL and NHLPA regarding non-core economic matters.
NHL players, who are paid twice each month, missed their first checks Monday. They also received the first of two escrow payments. Only players that appeared in NHL games last season received escrow payments.
Not all Penguins who began a fifth week of organized workouts at Southpointe are convinced the lockout will last the entire season, as was the case during the 2004-05 campaign. Several players privately predicted NHL games will resume by Thanksgiving.

Dreger: Next block of canceled games could be significant
TSN's gang of experts gathered for a grim bit of lockout talk, but the most substantial bit came when Darren Dreger said that the next wave of canceled games could come as soon as next week.
Canceling the first two weeks of the season might pale in comparison to the chunk of contests that could go by the wayside if Dreger's report is correct.
He claims that the NHL wants to give owners the chance to rent out their buildings to other events in order to recoup some revenue. With that in mind, the next cancellations could be "much bigger" than 82 games.
Aside from that grim bit, the latest edition of TSN's Insider Trading focused on the disjointed game of telephone between both sides.
NHLPA putting together a new proposal
After five hours of talks in two sessions Wednesday, NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly said the league has received indication that the NHL Players' Association is putting together a proposal, and the NHL is urging the union to make it.
Daly said a "variety of sources" both privately and publicly tipped off the league that the union was working toward putting forth a new offer. The two sides have not swapped proposals in more than three weeks.
"We understand you're working on a proposal. Make it to us," Daly said of the league's message to the union during Wednesday's negotiations. "Let's not stand on formalities. If you a have a proposal, make it."
The league has been imploring the union to submit something new for weeks and hopes the possibility might jumpstart a negotiation process that has become stagnant.
The union also is encouraging the league to make moves of its own, multiple sources told ESPNNewYork.com. Even if the league's next proposal doesn't include significant movement on economic issues, it is believed the union would like to see some concessions made in other areas, such as the contracting issues.
Despite a small, private session between Daly, commissioner Gary Bettman and the union's top two — Donald and Steve Fehr — prior to Wednesday afternoon's larger group session, Daly said little progress was made.
"Overall, today, we didn't really move the ball forward that much," he said.
Zetterberg – Some players will most likely stay in Russia
Zetterberg will be back when the lockout ends, but he's not sure if some others playing in Europe will return this season.
"I know for a fact Russians will probably stay," Zetterberg said. "I can't blame them either. The Russian league treats players a different way. For them to play in their home country and not have these (labor) disputes every other year … and they honor the contracts over there. If you sign a deal, that's the deal you get."
Red Wings center Pavel Datsyuk is playing for CSKA Moscow in the Kontinental Hockey League. His agent, Gary Greenstin, said Datsyuk will return to Detroit once the lockout ends.
With no apparent progress being made in sporadic talks between the NHL and NHL Players Association, no settlement appears in sight.
"There's always a chance for that (cancellation of the season)," Zetterberg said. "It's not our decision whether to play games. We were willing to play under the old CBA while they figured out the new one, but the league didn't want to do that.
"If they don't want to have us here playing, we just got to look for some other places to play."
Bad news for Winter Classic? NHL brass not visiting Ann Arbor
In what seems to be a dire sign for the Winter Classic, the NHL Operations Department does not have plans to visit Ann Arbor this month.
Officials from league headquarters went to Michigan Stadium in September to do logistics scouting, part of the massive preparation to hold the scheduled outdoor game between the Detroit Red Wings and Toronto Maple Leafs on Jan. 1. But with the NHL already having canceled two weeks of the regular season — and with no progress made on tangible issues between the NHL and the NHL Players Association on a new collective bargaining agreement — no follow-up trips are on the horizon, a person with knowledge of the situation told the Free Press today.
Were the 2012-13 schedule under way as normal — were the Winter Classic not at risk — operations people would have had a great opportunity to see Ann Arbor at its busiest this month. This Saturday is homecoming, and Michigan State visits the Big House on Oct. 20.
The possible demise of the 2013 Winter Classic also is bad news for Detroit, which was to host the Winter Festival at Comerica Park for two weeks, starting in mid-December. Part of the agreement by Wings owner Mike Ilitch to have the Winter Classic in Ann Arbor was that the NHL (which puts on the event) was to build a hockey rink at Comerica. The festival was to have included games at every level of hockey, from high school to Ontario Hockey League to the Great Lakes Invitational, culminating with a doubleheader of NHL alumni games Dec. 31.
NHL lockout: Donald Fehr says a longer work stoppage could lead to unrest over salary cap
Donald Fehr expressed some hope that collective bargaining talks this week will help lead to some resolution.
But he also made it clear in an hour-long meeting with the Toronto Star's editorial board that the longer the NHL lockoutlasts, the less happy the players will be playing under a salary cap.
"If this goes on for an extended period of time, I don't know what they (the players) are going to do. But I think it's safe to say, they would be exploring all options," said Fehr.
He added the players can live with a salary cap if an agreement can be reached quickly.
"Where the players are, they want to make a deal," Fehr said. "Even though the owners' proposal went as far away from the players as they could, the players did not respond in kind. They made a proposal which moved in the owners' direction. If there can be an agreement in a relatively short term which puts the pieces back together and gets the season going, I think the players can live with that."
Fehr fell short of calling for the salary cap to be scrapped outright — something that would put the NHL and the players further apart. But it was a reminder to commissioner Gary Bettman and the owners — on the eve of new talks with the league on non-core economic issues — that things can get ugly in a hurry.
"I hope we can continue to make some progress on what we call the non-core economic issues and I hope we can have discussions that can spark a new round of significant talks on the core economic issues," said Fehr. "Whether that will happen, I can't predict. But I hope it does."
NHL lockout: No progress on money issues in talks
The NHLand the players' association met for a third straight day Sunday, and again avoided the troublesome money issues that are behind the ongoing lockout.
"We did not discuss core economic issues, as was the plan," NHLPA special counsel Steve Fehr said after meeting for five hours with the NHL. "We discussed health and safety, drug testing, including more discussion of drug testing, medical care, etc. Also a number of things in the CBA legal area of player movements."
The drug policy was a key component of talks Friday when the sides got together for the first time since the NHL imposed the lockout on Sept. 16.
On Saturday, the sides focused on clarifications of definitions of what makes up hockey-related revenue — a pot that exceeded $3 billion.
"It was a productive day. We made some progress in some areas," Fehr said Sunday. "I would say it's good that we were talking. It's true that we could've done this last week or a week before or a week before that, but it's a lot better than doing it three weeks from now."
Because of difficulty in finding common ground on how to split up that money, the league and union instead concentrated all weekend on secondary issues that will also be included in any new agreement.
"I hate to sound like a broken record, but we need some movement on the economic issues. We need some movement on the system issues," NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly said. "We need them to be scheduled as the subject of a meeting, and right now the union is not prepared to do that."

Light Paintings by Brian Matthew Hart
Juxtapoz // Tuesday, October 25, 2011
Perhaps our favorite part of this series of new light paintings by Brian Matthew Hart is that these were created in a western-Illinois attic. Something about the locale makes these even better. His light paintings appear like photographs of the simplest daily activities, adding an element of surrealism to an otherwise mundane scenario.
Roomba Vacuum Light Paintings

Have you ever wondered what would happen if you attached colored LEDs to a Roomba vacuum device and let them roam for the duration of a long-exposure photograph? This is what would happen, and it looks quite remarkable.

The Backseat Director Sportif names his top 10 for a star-studded finale to the Spring Classic season.
By Whit Yost
This weekend's Liège-Bastogne-Liège effectively brings the spring classics to a close with a 258-kilometer loop including 10 legendary climbs. One of cycling's five Monuments, La Doyenne is also known as one of the most prestigious as its challenging route through the Belgian Ardennes often attracts the sport's biggest stars.
This year's race is no different as several teams bring rosters similar to what we might expect to see take the line in Rotterdam at the start of this year's Tour de France. Here's the Backseat DS's run-down of the top-10 teams with candidates for the win Sunday:
10. Garmin-Transitions
The American outfit will look back on this year's spring classics as a time in which the team took another step in its development from upstart team to perennial contender. Tyler Farrar and David Millar started the ball rolling with wins in the cobbled classics; now Ryder Hesjedal continues the team's upward trend in the Ardennes. Fresh from an impressive display in the Tour of the Basque Country, Hesjedal surprised many with a second place in the Amstel Gold Race, followed by a 10th-place in Flèche Wallonne. With a long, hard day in the saddle planned for Sunday, look for Hesjedal—with help from a dedicated team including Christian Vande Velde—to continue Garmin's ascension.
9. Team Radio Shack
The Shack makes its second appearance in the weekly top-10 thanks to Chris Horner's continued run of good form. With a 10th-place finish in the Amstel Gold Race and a sixth-place ride in Flèche Wallonne, Horner's clearly headed in the right direction. With experienced and talented men like Yaroslav Popovych and Andreas Kloden joining him Sunday, Horner could become the first American to win Liège-Bastogne-Liège since Tyler Hamilton in 2003. At age 38, Horner's one of the oldest riders in the race—let's see if the old dog's got a few tricks left.
8. Liquigas
The Italians come to Liège-Bastogne-Liège hoping Roman Kreuziger and Vicenzo Nibali have the legs and luck to take the team's first big win of 2010. (With the Giro d'Italia less than a month away, the squad could use the extra confidence.) On a hilly course that often favors aggressive climbers, Kreuziger is the team's better candidate for the win, especially with an immensely talented rider like Nibali supporting him. Kreuziger needs to keep his cool though—he often goes on the offensive too soon or makes poor choices in pressure-filled situations. If he can keep his wits about him late into the race and choose the right moment to attack, the young Czech could take the biggest win of his young career.
7. Astana
Alberto Contador might have missed his best shot at a classic when he underestimated the Mur de Huy in the finale of Wednesday's Flèche-Wallonne. Contador waited patiently to attack, but still timed his final surge too soon and lost out to Cadel Evans. Liège-Bastogne-Liège is a much more complicated race, and Contador is relatively unproven in major one-day events where tactics play more of a role than brute force. If Contador can overcome the strategic sins of his past, he has more than enough talent and form to take an impressive win in this prestigious event.
6. Katusha
This might be the strongest team in the peloton right now, but its talented trio of Sergei Ivanov, Alexandr Kolobnev, and Joaquin Rodriguez can't seem to get its timing right. Ivanov repeatedly attacked the lead group Sunday in attempt to soften the competition for a Kolobnev attack to follow. Had the Russian not been caught inside the final few kilometers, the strategy might have paid-off. In Flèche Wallonne, the Russians played a similar game with Ivanov once again attacking the group before Kolobnev gave it one final go inside the last 5 kilometers. Liège-Bastogne-Liège is a longer, more selective race; with a little luck and similar tactics, Katusha might find success.
5. Lampre
With a sixth-place Sunday and fifth-place in Flèche Wallonne, Lampre's Damiano Cunego appears to have timed his form just right. Cunego's had a quiet season thus far, apparently learning from past mistakes that often led to him peaking a week or two before his major goals. Perhaps more importantly, Cunego's team has ridden well in support of its captain, placing riders in key breakaways, covering attacks, and safely positioning him for key selections. It's been two years since Cunego last won a major classic—Liège now sits at the top of his list.
The team took its first win of the season when Cadel Evans used an impeccably timed sprint to take Wednesday's Flèche Wallonne. Evans seems to have entered a new phase of his career, perhaps buoyed by newfound confidence following his win in last year's World Championships. Before Wednesday, Evans was one of the most experienced and decorated riders never to have won a major spring classic. Now, with a balanced and motivated team, Evans looks to continue to honor his rainbow jersey with an inspired performance Sunday. With the Giro d'Italia beckoning, it looks like anything's possible for the rejuvenated Australian.
3. Caisse d'Epargne
The Spanish team looked a bit flat Wednesday, perhaps using Flèche Wallonne as a chance to freshen-up following a lost weekend due to airport problems in northern Europe. While the competition was racing in Holland, France, and Spain, two-time Liège-winner Alejandro Valverde and World-number-one Luis Leon Sanchez were replaying key scenes from "Planes, Trains, and Automobiles". Valverde still raced well in Flèche Wallonne, finishing eighth in a small group containing several major favorites for Sunday. Valverde is still facing criticism following his alleged role in the Operation Puerto doping ring. For some, his presence casts a shadow over an otherwise exciting list of riders. But with Sanchez at his side, and CDE's unwavering support, Valverde could easily take his third Liège win in 5 years—a legendary, albeit unpopular achievement.
2. Omega Pharma-Lotto
The Belgian squad comes to Sunday's race relaxed and confident following Philippe Gilbert's win in last Sunday's Amstel Gold Race. Gilbert's dominant performance was the team's first win of the year and Belgium's first victory in a major spring classic. Perhaps more importantly, the Amstel Gold Race proved to be a coming-out party of sorts for the young Belgian Jurgen Vandenbroeck. We first became acquainted with "VDB2" during last year's Tour de France when he quietly climbed his way to a top-15 finish in Paris. This year, he's shown himself to be a talented performer in hillier classics and an important asset to his team leader. His presence gives Gilbert the lieutenant he needs to control the race well into its later phases—will it be enough to help Gilbert add another Monument to his palmares?
1. Saxo Bank.
The team to beat this Spring reclaims the top spot this week, but just by a hair. Andy Schleck and Philippe Gilbert deserve equal consideration as top favorites for Liège, but Saxo Bank gets the nod thanks to the depth and strength of its team. On any other squad, Frank Schleck would be a captain and a favorite for the victory himself. When riding in support of his younger brother however, he becomes a super-domestique par excellence, a rider other teams must take seriously should he escape. Add to the mix talented rouleurs such as Jens Voigt, Jakob Fuglsang, and Nicki Sorensen, and Andy Schleck and Saxo Bank have the strength in numbers to take its second consecutive Liège-Bastogne-Liège and its third Monument of the year. (Watch video of Andy Schleck's win at Liege last year.)

That's EXACTLY the RAI of that feat. Now let's go with Paragon Surge. It's a spell that gives you a feat. That's exactly the RAI of the spell, as well as it's RAW. Combine the two.

Don't buy charisma then. Be a paladin with Charisma 5. The Stonelord archetype don't need charisma, has extra natural armor, and damage reduction. With a single dip in unbreakable fighter you could get DR 18 by level 10 I think if you fight defensively/combat expertise.

Using the same array of stats, at just 6th level the Stonelord would get Nat armor +2, which offsets the Tower Shield. He gets DR 3, he gets better Will save, 25% chance to ignore crit or sneak, fear inmunity, an aura for his teammates, can heal himself 3x per day 3d6 as swift action, has a flanking buddy, and gets the stalwart defender ability to use it when he thinks it is useful.

Elementals do talk, so yes, you can talk. Somatic components are GM decision as we don't have anything that says yes or no. You can't access to material components unless you have a polymorphic pouch

Aelryinth wrote: And if you want to crap all over the Vital Strike chain, then crapping all over the much better CW chain is completely up for grabs, too. It's a feat chain that is much more focused then CW, AND it's a monster standard chain, working excellently for them when PC's try to deny them full attacks. Except, you know, it doesn't work at all against CW. It's crap, and once CW is nerfed, it's crap too. Being a slighthly better smelling piece of crap doesn't remove it from the crap pool. It's crap, and it'll always be, because of this game fatal flaw about full round actions and movement. The only way Vital Strike isn't crap, is if you rename it "pounce" Quote: And Scribe scroll to fly doesn't kill a T-Rex at all. You still have to either expend a lot of spell slots, shoot a lot of arrows, and you have to be at least level 5 and pay out the coin. It also doesn't keep the T-Rex from getting at the other PC's who are beyond you cheering you on. Crane Wing haven't defeated the T-Rex either. You still have to kill it, and it doesn't stop him and his gargantuan reach to go against others in the party. Quote: It also makes you the preferred target of archers and casters, but that's a different topic No no no, this. Exactly this. I like this topic, let's talk about this topic, don't diss it out. YES, it's not overpowered because it makes you the preferred target of archers and casters. And that's what balance it. Now... in that sentence, were we talking about fly? Or... Crane wing?
Aelryinth wrote:
LOL Let's assume for a moment that this is valid, and not an absurd interpretation of the rules (which is the truth).Then, again, it's not Crane Wing what's wrong. It's the ability to create 6 seconds bubles where you can do your full round and then go back to normal time, which is indeed powerful, not only because of Crane wing, but also because of Aldori swordlords, spellstrike, and other stuff. What you have said is "hey, look, if we have the portable-hole-into-bag-of-holding nuclear weapon, Crane Wing is really powerful, because a Crane Winger can throw a portable-hole-into-bag-of-holding and provoke a nuclear explosion. So let's nerf Crane Wing".

Yep, without magic items some builds are more heavily penalized. With a 12th level WBL, you can pretty much autosucceed in CMB, because there are a lot of stuff that gives you high CMB bonuses for cheap. A single Wayfinder gives +2 for 500g, assuming you bought the Ioun Stone you were going to buy regardless. Gloves of maneuvering give +2 for 4000, armbands of grappler give +1 for 500, you add enhancement bonus, and so on. In any case, the power of Grappling with a maneuver master or tetori monk is that you can pretty much tie him and then coup de grace.
Aelryinth wrote: Nobody argues that Vital strike isn't horrible. Using it as a standard, you'll get a lot of horrible feats. Deflect arrow and Missile Shield also shut down Vital Strike for ranged characters. Sure, Crane Wing can, with a feat, defeat a Tyrannosaurus, and that sounds powerful. So does Scribe scroll->fly. The real problem was the MoMS dip, not the Crane Wing

However, I think druids are nice for dwarves, not only because of the stats. Sure they don't fit with the standard Celtic-Gaul forest-dwelling druid, but there's an archetype about Cave Druids too. Or regular druids with Cave Domain or Mountain domain or Strength domain. Even Menhir Savant fits well. Druids are linked to nature, but nature =/= plants. Dwarves have fluff about conection with the earth itself, and a Dwarf druid which shapeshift into an earth elemental is cool. You have also badgers, wolverines, and bears, all of them quite "dwarvish"
Vehas wrote: Did the math without a bite he does 249.665 over three rounds. He still needs to spend the first round activating smite evil and the second two rounds doing litany of righteousness. Divine bond is a pretty huge buff, it's a +3 weapon as a standard action. So it actually wins out over full attacking. But smite evil is swift action. He can smite evil and full attack in the first round. Without the +3 from divine bond, you get a +1 Mwk regardless, so the difference is slightly less than +3/+3 Assuming +23/+14+/+9 for 1d10+33 plus +12 bite for 1d6+19, but 5 rounds instead of 4 (because of the litany effect). Without going into the numbers, my gut feeling says I'd go with the unbuffed. Maybe I'd make the numbers late, gut feelins are often wrong :P

But if they did them right, and they planned together, they are a damn powerful set up, specially against humanoids, if the players are careful and veteran. First few levels will be somewhat hard, but they'll soon start to roflstomp things, specially if the NPC can't keep the pace because of low-magic world. About being evil, there's a great 3pp AP called Way of the Wicked. It comes with a few solutions against the typical "evil group problems". The most important one: all the players have to sign a devil's contract with some NPC, and that contract has, among other things, a clause that say they can't betray each other, plot against the group, steal each other, etc. While this shouldn't be needed with a mature group, it IS a great deterrant for those who aren't.
A melee-focused druid sound nice for the "tank" spot.
As a bonus, you get 5 animal companion :P

We were fighting certain ghoul with class levels in rise of runelord. With the +4 applied to the main attack, I was hit only with 20s in the fight. Without it, it was a 16+ for the main attack. So the feat was useful, indeed.

If the GM isn't willing to kill the PC and fudge the rolls behind the screen, it doesn't matter if the party has 20 years experience or not. They are playing with safety net. We are also above 30, with 20 years of experience, and we TPK'd the other day versus Skinsaw. We were under the normal number of players (one couldn't come), so we were 3 vs Skinsaw and 4 ghasts. We failed our saves vs paralisys, and got coup-d'graced, and having experience didn't help that much. When you have to save vs DC 17, and you have +7 at best, it's a coin flip. If it goes tails, you roll a new character

Granted it is best of the Cleric can use it, but in a few more levels that will mostly go away You don't waste charges on a miss. Use a Wand, Staff, or Other Spell Trigger Item: Normally, to use a wand, you must have the wand's spell on your class spell list. This use of the skill allows you to use a wand as if you had a particular spell on your class spell list. Failing the roll does not expend a charge. from the PRD

We have two Bruno Mathsson Eva chairs that I bought at a garage sale years ago. They are so comfortable and versatile that we'd like to spiff them up with restrapping. Our cat also liked them for stretching and so they're a bit worn now.
We are willing to try it ourselves or have it done if we can find either the supplies or someone to do it. Any ideas? I tried purchasing the linen tape from a shop in Los Angeles and was never able to place an order with them (too small potatoes perhaps?). We're now in Oregon if that helps. |
Follow-Up Postings:
You can google "chair webbing" and order online, and though I didn't see "linen" there are some poly webbing sites. Have you gone to your local fabric stores and asked with a picture of your chair in hand? The job itself looks easy, though you'll want to stretch it tight. Here are some directions... |
Here is a link that might be useful: How to Replace Chair Webbing
I think part of the problem is the width and composition of our webbing which seems to be a very heavy linen. Burlap strapping for upholstery is close in width but, boy, would that be uncomfortable to sit on! Thanks for the directions on rewebbing. I think that our situation is a little different but the guidelines on measuring are good. |
What a great looking chair! Very sexy. I'd probably start with a couple of calls to a reupholster/restorer and be candid about wanting to do the work yourself. Most pros are willing to help DIYers as long as they're "up front" about it and don't take advantage. |
I'd love to find some strapping tape in that width--where in LA? I have Shaker chairs, but I'd like to use the wider tape. Feel free to email me off list about this. |
I haven't taken the time to google.... Shaker Workshops and Yield House used to both sell linnen webbing. Check out the websites for both places & see what they've got. |
Ideefixee, I just checked the web for the phone number of the place on Beverly Blvd. Guess what? They've closed the store! It was Lampa + Mobler but they no longer sell furniture. Phooey. I think I'll try Chelone's suggestion and call some upholsterers. The linen or flax tape for Aalto chairs is very close to what we need but a little narrow. |
Thanks for letting me know. The Shaker Workshop tape is very narrow, and I really want wide. But the Aalto tape would work for me. Hate that price, though. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Artek Alvar Aalto Webbing
You might look at the link below and see if it will suit your needs. The price is certainly better! I knew I had found some possible webbings awhile back and just found them. HTH |
Here is a link that might be useful: Hemp webbing
I have been dealing with a similar issue. The linen webbing is available at finnstyle.com and is quite expensive ($18/yd). An estimate to have the chair repaired by a professional who specializes in this type of furniture came in at $1800. |
There is some 2" natural in cotton available at the link below. Not sure if it would work for chairs, but I'm sure the company could tell you. |

Ailene Voisin: Orlando arena a beacon for Sacramento
ORLANDO, Fla. – David Stern is here primarily to celebrate the Magic's decades-long arena ordeal that culminated in construction of the gorgeous, incomparable Amway Center, but the Kings keep crashing the party.
After officially tipping off All-Star Weekend at the Jam Session interactive event in front of thousands of screaming boys and girls Thursday at the Orange County Convention Center, the NBA commissioner – accompanied by prominent local politicians – worked the rope line like a presidential candidate.
Stern was asked about Orlando and its jewel of a downtown facility. He was asked about Jeremy Lin and the lockout. He was asked about Anaheim and Seattle as NBA markets. But he was asked most often about the Kings, his scheduled meeting with Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson, the Maloofs and city representatives before Sunday's All-Star Game, and pressed about the March 1 timeline for an arena-financing resolution.
Stern uttered nary a word of breaking news. The talks are at the delicate stage, so that's no surprise. But the Kings are clearly on his mind and occupying an inordinate amount of his time. The vibe the commissioner delivered was powerful and unmistakable: The NBA wants the Kings to remain in Sacramento and is pushing more aggressively than ever to make that happen.
The fact this year's event is being held in another small market?
That a series of intense, last-minute negotiations were needed to salvage an Amway Center agreement that involved city and county representatives and required major contributions by the Magic's billionaire owner, Rich DeVos?
Coincidence? Perhaps.
But Stern isn't about to let an opportunity pass.
The similarities between Orlando and Sacramento, including market size (19th and 20th), repeated false starts and protracted arena negotiations, are simply too tempting.
"This is our way (an All-Star Weekend) of thanking everyone here," Stern said while walking toward the media gathering, where he was joined by Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer and Orange County Mayor Teresa Jacobs.
"Sacramento is the equal or better than many of our franchises," Stern said. "It's a great city. Let's see if we can complete a deal. It would be an absolute shame if (an arena agreement) did not happen."
While there are substantial differences between the financing of the $380 million Amway Center and the proposed funding for an arena in Sacramento, the folks in Orlando deserve to strut a little bit this weekend. Their arena is widely regarded as the most impressive in the world.
The arena, on a corner of downtown that attaches to the entertainment district on Church Street, sits on 8.75 acres and offers nearly every modern amenity – except the massive parking lots more typical of arenas in suburban areas.
The glass and metal facade is spectacular and inviting, and once inside, the building is warm and functional with high-ceilinged foyers, expansive concourses and attractive interactive kiosks, along with a skybar and a wildly popular outdoor terrace.
Additionally, the seating configuration feels surprisingly cozy and is tailored toward a business community that boasts only one Fortune 500 company. There are 64 suites, 1,400 club seats, 68 loge boxes and 17 hospitality areas. And the acoustics offer a dramatic upgrade over the old TD Waterhouse Arena.
Local leaders are still gushing about the Feb. 12 appearance of Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli.
"We said we could attract these types of events if we had a new building," said Allen Johnson, executive director of the city's venue department, "and we are. Five years ago, Kansas City, Oklahoma City and Tulsa were getting bypassed. We couldn't compete, either. And people will have second thoughts and spend their money elsewhere if they don't enjoy coming to a venue."
The All-Star Weekend is expected to generate $80 million-$100 million for the local economy, with 50,000 visitors expected to pay for 27,000 hotel nights and frequent area restaurants, tourist attractions and the NBA events.
Officials with the Orlando Convention and Visitors Bureau also anticipate another gain: a major boost to the city's image.
"We've come into our own," said Gary Sain, CEO of Orlando's Convention and Visitors Bureau. "The last time the All-Star Game was here (1992), we were a small city. The biggest difference is the wonderful downtown atmosphere and the fact that we are a business destination now. And (Sunday), people will be watching from all over the world."
Not that an All-Star Game or an arena is the perfect antidote for all that ails a city or a franchise. Magic center Dwight Howard has asked to be traded to a larger market, preferably joining the New Jersey Nets next year in Brooklyn. Fans are both miffed and nervous.
And no one is thrilled about the lagging funding for the Performing Arts Center and Citrus Bowl Stadium, the two other elements in the three-tier, $1 billion agreement. Groundbreaking for the Arts Center was delayed until last June, and major renovations of the stadium have been tabled for the immediate future.
Yet while joining Stern at the Jam Session, Dyer, the Orlando mayor and the Amway Center's biggest booster from the beginning, beamed like someone whose child had just graduated from Harvard.
"Some people doubted that we could ever get this (arena) done," he said, "but I never did."

7 Romantic Fall Dates In New York City You Haven't Been On Yet
By YourTango
One of the biggest perks about living in such an amazing city is that NYC residents have access to so many romantic, beautiful activities they can do with their partners all year long.
From tree climbing to wine tasting, here are some of the absolute best ones to do this season.
1. Ride Jane's Carousel
For a lovely, nostalgia-filled date, check out Jane's Carousel, a gorgeously restored carousel residing in Brooklyn Bride Park. You two can ride together, listening to lovely, historic music while holding hands and enjoying the crisp fall air.
3. Explore The World Via Wine
Do you both love wine and travel? Check out Around The World In 80 Sips, an event that lets you taste test loads of wine (while munching on snacks, naturally) from all over the world.
4. Climb A Tree
What's better than admiring the season's colors in the beautiful trees at the New York Botanical Garden's Thain Family Forest? Being in them, of course!

5. Laugh Until It Hurts At The New York Comedy Festival
Take a break from Parks and Rec re-runs and give your abs a laughter-fueled workout at the four-day festival filled with hilarious standup, improv, sketch, variety shows and discussions across 23 venues in Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens. The NYCF runs from November 6–10, and with headliners like Jerry Seinfeld, Kathy Griffin and Larry David at some of NYC's go-to comedy clubs, you'll have no problem finding an event that'll keep you both giggling for days.
6. Get Closer Over Live Music
Concerts in Central Park and Hudson River Park may be long gone, but starting in November, you can cuddle up with your honey over some romantic New York jazz, funk and blues on Sunday evenings at The National's National Sessions, a free event from 6pm to 10pm.
7. Take Autumn Snapshots
Take advantage of the season's gorgeous colors before they're gone. Take a camera (even if it's just a disposable one) with you for a walk, then explore the city and take photos of one another with fall-related things like pumpkins, Thanksgiving treats and red, gold and orange leaves.

Veteran-Owned Small Business Launches International Venture Exclusively Devoted to Discount Sales of Intravenous Catheters
Discount pricing of IV Catheters is the fundamental goal of USA Medical Depot. Through the power of USA Medical's large quantity purchasing, medical professionals save up to 50% compared to purchases made from other e-commerce suppliers.
Recent surveys show that USA Medical Depot's consumers often save over $300.00 per case. Because the price of medical products fluxuates frequently, product pricing requests are bid-out to all supply sources on a weekly basis.
Pompano Beach, FL (PRWEB) February 18, 2011
Physicians, veterinarians, hospitals, home nursing services, fire fighters, paramedics, federal, state and local governmental health agencies, The Armed Services and all types of medical professionals purchase Intravenous Catheters from USA Medical Depot. Because of this purchasing power, savings are passed along to medical professionals.
Answers to customer questions are accurate and timely because USA Medical Depot sells only IV Catheters. Dr. Jim Parker, president of USA Medical Depot says that, "our experienced staff has in-depth knowledge about IV Catheter products in comparison to other e-commerce medical distributors who sell tens of thousands of items."
The manufacturers and suppliers contracted with USA Medical Depot are strategically placed around the United States and in US Foreign-Trade Zones. This means that the staff of USA Medical Depot locates the currently most competitive pricing for the the IV Catheter being ordered and it ships the next business day from the supplier closest to the 'Ship To' address.

Why It's Better Not To Have A Valentine
5. We're better in bed….
even if we're the only ones in it. Australian researchers found that 55 percent of single women could achieve orgasm every time they masturbated, while only 25 percent of women with a current partner could. And a British study found that married women were significantly more likely to report sexual problems than single women.
If you've read this far, here's a bonus reason it's better to be single of Valentine's Day--just for you. (Think of it as the hidden track on your favorite album.)
6. There are record numbers of single men out there.
The best news a single woman can get on Valentine's Day: Forty-five percent of men in America are unmarried. With so many single men out there, meeting the guy of your dreams is really just a numbers game. He's out there, you just haven't met him yet. So why not get dressed up and meet up with some other single friends this Valentine's Day, and check out a few more. One of these nights, you're bound to meet Mr. Right.

I've seen people post on this subject in the past, but I guess I didn't pay close enough attention because it seemed so far down the road for me. As you can see from my ticker, I've been at this for a while. I really do feel terrific, and I am very proud of myself. I chose my goal weight as a weight I remember being able to maintain for a longer period of time than any lower weight. At 175 I would still be technically overweight. Right now I am still in the obese range and have 13-14 pounds to lose to be just overweight... With that said, I have to admit I'm struggling more to "stick" to a calorie deficit. Everywhere I go I get comments on my weight loss...I love compliments they are great. Even the not so eloquent one that come across a little weird sounding are still welcome....BUT I keep getting comments about how I am getting too thin...."Oh you don't need to lose 30 more pounds...NO WAY" You'll look sick. Good grief, I'm still FAT...in 30 pounds I'll STILL be fat. Anyway, I have modified my answer to be not so truthful. Lately when someone asks how much more I want to lose I say, "I'm not sure". :dizzy:
I've overcome a lot on this ride and I have learned that people are just busy bodies by nature, but it still drives me nuts! :D

While I had elaborate theories in my head about maybe the whole thing being a dream (and I had a sneaking suspicion that Ariadne = Mol; I can just imagine Cobb being introduced to Mol as the star pupil in Nicholas Cage's class...); I'd generally discount that for the existence of opposite viewpoints in the film.
Same here. There are several scenes (not to mention action sequences) where Cobb is no where around. And while I HAVE had dreams where I became someone else (a character in a movie, for instance), I have a hard time believing Cobb really imagined himself as every one of the characters in this movie.

I got a 6 cell pack of red torpedo onions and want to plant them in an elevated, waist high planter about 8" deep (front to back) by about 12" deep. How far apart should I plant them? If I split each cell, will I just get more, smaller onions instead of fewer, bigger onions? Finally, a really dumb question: When they're ready to harvest, are they above ground or below the surface? I feel like a dweeb, but there you have it. Thanks, |
Follow-Up Postings:
Since no one else has responded I'll take a shot. First, I haven't grown torpedo onions, but since that defines the shape I'll assume that the rest of the plant grows like other onions. I plant my "round" onions 5" apart, not just for bulb development but also to provide adequate sun for each plant, so it likely wouldn't hurt for you to plant yours at the same spacing. Secondly, I guess there are multiple onions in each cell, so you should split them up and plant them individually, otherwise you probably would have a wad of smaller, crowded bulbs at harvest. Multiple onions planted in the same hole would just cause them to compete with each other. And, if they are like other onions, when they are ready to harvest the tops will fall over - my regular onions always finish up half or more in the ground and half or less out of the ground. hortster |
I grow several hundred Red torpedoes every year and love them. Many are over a lb. Red torpedoes get quite large but grow more vertically. They definitely need separated with 5-6 inches between them. As noted, they grow upward, so there won't be much below ground. Tops do fall over, but it's not as obvious as w/round onions. They don't keep real long. |
I grow the OP version 'Long Red of Tropea' which I consider to be the Brandywine of onions. I give them a little more space than other bulb onions, 6 inches, because otherwise they won't get big. The tops do fall eventually, but because these are fresh eating onions, you don't have to wait for full maturity. Even when perfectly cured, mine break dormancy in December, so we eat most of them fresh. |

Am I reading it correctly that the Xbox 360 version won't have any DLC included?
If so then that version is a waste of shelfspace imo
I think I might buy this when it's less than $20. But probably not with the rather crappy DLC. I already have the PS3 ME2 game with all that DLC and I already have ME3 on PS3 with no DLC. So, basically, I don't want it at all unless it's super cheap and even then I'll likely pass it up in favour of other $20 games.
lolwhoops: a Gamer's Blog
^^is my blog! Updates whenever I feel like it! :D
Yeah, they're totally shafting 360 owners. We've got the biggest install base so why give us any value? They would have been better off not releasing a 360 version of the trilogy at all. It would actually be cheaper to just repurchase copies of ME1 and 2. You can download ME off Live for just $15 and I see ME2's lying all over the place for as little as $5 to $20.
Heh, and my husband and I were just discussing how EA's pricing strategy is all wrong over tea at Tim Horton's this evening.
Don't judge us, we're dorks.

In my old neighborhood, there was an amazing takeout place where I'd get Thai curry vegetables on a pretty regular basis. I didn't think I could make it, or make it healthfully for that matter - until this morning. I played around with what I had on hand and came up with the following recipe for tonight's dinner, with plenty to freeze for later cravings.
