The Minnetonka Maxifaze Personal Invasion number two
The classic "Psych Eval" where purely subjective "impressions" make the difference between liberty and destruction. Court-ordered at the drop of a hat- Especially when there is no reason for people to be in trouble to begin with. The ultimate fishing expedition, and completely UNCONSTITUTIONAL. |
Of course sociopathic CPS people, mental health clinician- colluders, cowardly court-appointed lawyers, and judges (altogether the evil enemies of American liberty, families, morals, and everything good) never have to take these character- assassinating, Fifth-amendment by-passing, pointless tests that are "interpreted" to be whatever the system WANTS. Under court orders yet- by a vulture in an ugly black dress in an unconstitutional court of NO Due Process.
A usual "assessment report" speaks mostly about how you are DRESSED and GROOMED, how you conduct yourself and EXPRESS yourself (Having Brand Name clothes and being comfortable with public speaking and having a large vocabulary helps. Yes they ARE that shallow), and lots about how DEPRESSED you are.
Any mention of the test results are spun around proving the circular logic- the subject IS what the CPS agent says he is.
In short, simple words, the results of a "psychological evaluation" are whatever the system wants it to be. If they are NOT, that clinician can expect no more contracts. There are no ethics here whatsoever.
There is NOTHING as depressing as having these people in your life, second-guessing everything you have ever done, with no forgiveness and deliberate "misunderstanding". There are no warnings or "second chances" in this business. It is a one strike (even if imaginary) and YOU'RE OUT system. It is about harvesting your kids, your time, and your assets for the communist, New Age, New Class, sustainable government.
The system actors and colluders- every one of them- have earned Capital Punishment according to the quaint old-fashioned US Code
A bigger crock of insane, urine-reeking, junk science, satanic attack on people has never been assembled in the entire history history of mankind than this one.
Every American has the right to
write at the top of it- We KNOW the threats and coercion would start howling immediately. That's why they are the ones breaking the LAW, not us. See Idaho vs Estrada |
2-19-04: We had the actual test linked here. It has been removed for alleged "copyright infringement"
We believe our use was covered. But we aren't interested in a fight over it, because our real goal is to DESTROY IT.
The MMPI is the high, holy sacred cow "Psych Eval" that everybody routinely is court ordered to take. People are scared to death of "failing" it. So we mainly want people to see what a crock of moronic crap it really is.
Obviously, we do not want to answer yes to things like "My spirit leaves my body and goes out to spook colluding psychiatrists who administer MMPI tests" Answer "yes" to a question like that, and you are begging for long-term doping and institutionalization.
We (through hard experience with the system) believe psychiatry thinks any CHRISTIAN or even MORAL belief structure is mental illness. Remember they decided that CONSERVATIVES were mentally ill?
We have observed THEIR ATTITUDE that ONLY the New Age twisted reality is considered "sane". So we suggest people DO NOT take any religious or moral stance with the psychs. They are NOT your friend. They are the very embodiment of the ENEMY. They are quite immoral and judgmental about anybody who does have any morals or ethics. They are poised with the poison pen and their highly subjective, childish "impressions" can too easily mean the difference between liberty and total destruction.
"The privilege against self-incrimination is neither accorded to the passive resistant, nor to the person who is ignorant of his rights, nor to one indifferent thereto. It is a FIGHTING clause. It's benefits can be retained only by sustained COMBAT. It cannot be claimed by attorney or solicitor. It is valid only when insisted upon by a BELLIGERENT claimant in person." McAlister vs. Henkel, 201 U.S. 90, 26 S.Ct. 385, 50 L. Ed. 671; Commonwealth vs. Shaw, 4 Cush. 594, 50 Am.Dec. 813; Orum vs. State, 38 Ohio App. 171, 175 N.E. 876. The one who is persuaded by honeyed words or moral persuasion to testify or produce documents rather than make a last ditch stand, simply loses the protection. . . . He must refuse to answer or produce, and test the matter in contempt proceedings, or by habeas corpus."

It's that time again. The time when one more win is all it takes to keep going. Score just one more point than the opponent and the season rolls on.
Dayton Runs On Dukes
Many times a stat sheet doesn't tell the whole story, but it did tonight as Dayton (17-10, 7-6) defeated Duquesne (15-12, 6-7) 74-62 in a must-win game for both teams, as they stood tied in eighth place in the Atlantic 10.

Many things change from game to game, especially when over a month's time has passed before taking on an opponent again.

Duquesne With Solid 80-69 Win Over UMass
When the top two scoring teams in the Atlantic 10 face off, one would anticipate a fast-paced game.

I lived and worked in Israel for 1 1/2 years in the late '70s. I take great exception to the Rev. Ron Ely's anti-Semitic remarks regarding that country.
Israel has never attacked its Arab neighbors unless in response to terrorist activities. It was Egypt and its allies who attacked Israel in the Yom Kippur and Six-Day wars for example. During my time, there were a number of indiscriminate bombing of outdoor markets killing/injuring both Arabs and Israelis.
There was also an attempted attack by sea to cause havoc among beach goers but that was foiled by the Navy.
As far as dominating its neighbors, why did Israel give back land it had captured during its various wars? Or returned thousands of captured Arabs to their home countries?
Israel has always sought peace with its Arab neighbors since the war of independence. But was rebuffed at every turn especially by Arafat of the PLO.
I visited the West Bank several times and witnessed little or no infrastructure and much poverty. Yet the Palestinian leaders live quite well. Without Israel providing work for the Palestinians, the situation would be more dire.
And Ely's assertion that no Iranian leader has called for the annihilation of Israel is so blatantly false it defies logic.
Because of the Holocaust, when 6 million Jews were exterminated, Israel has vowed to never again allow such a horror to occur.
Israel will attack Iran, with or without U.S. support, it will strike first if the threat becomes an almost certainty.
I don't know which school of divinity the Rev. Ely attended, but it apparently left out several books of the Bible and a few commandments.
His beliefs appear more closely aligned with the Westboro Baptist Church in Topeka than what most Christian churches in our area believe and teach. Shalom, Rev. Ely

Astros rough up Johnny Cueto in victory over division-leading Reds
CINCINNATI -- The Cincinnati Reds played their last game against the Houston Astros as NL opponents but they will not forget Matt Dominguez anytime soon.
Dominguez hit a three-run homer, Tyler Greene added a solo shot and the Astros slowed Cincinnati's run to the NL Central title with a 5-1 win over the Reds on Sunday.The 23-year old former first-round pick of the Marlins came to the Astros in exchange for Carlos Lee. All three of his homers have been at the expense of the Reds, and the last two were key in winning two games in this series. He hit a ninth-inning, three-run home run off Aroldis Chapman on Friday to lift the Astros to a 5-3 win."I'm really pleased with the guys," said Astros interim manager Tony DeFrancesco, who like most of his players wasn't here to endure Houston's struggles on the road. "It's been a long season for a lot of these guys. To win a series against the team with the (second-best) record in baseball is great. Dominguez had the big hit."Edgar Gonzalez allowed two hits and one run in five innings against the Reds, who came in with a magic number of 14 for eliminating second-place St. Louis. Gonzalez (2-0) walked one and struck out six, and the Astros limited Cincinnati to five hits overall while winning a road series for the first time since early June against the White Sox.Gonzalez developed a blister on his right foot and had to leave the game against his wishes."He's had two good outings. He was landing at the same spot that Cueto was. His foot was irritated. They (trainers) tried to fix it but couldn't. He should be fine for his next start."Gonzalez's career was in a downward spiral until he landed with the Astros. He was released twice by major league teams and went to the Mexican League before Houston signed him to a minor league deal in August.He wanted to ignore the blister and continue."I told Tony D, that I'm Mexican and we are all in, all the time," Gonzalez said. "He told me that it was enough. I'm feeling good. I didn't expect two wins but I'm more mature now. I'm doing a lot of work in the gym and outside."The Reds, who also lost two of three against Philadelphia in the first series of their nine-game homestand, have lost back-to-back series for the first time since being swept by Cleveland June 18-20 and losing two of three to Minnesota June 22-24.Houston relievers Wesley Wright, Mickey Storey and Wilton Lopez combined for eight strikeouts over four shutout innings.After going 11-0 in his first 13 afternoon starts this season, Johnny Cueto has struggled in his last two. He gave up eight hits and four runs in seven innings of a 4-2 loss to Philadelphia on Labor Day and followed up by getting knocked around for four runs on nine hits with six strikeouts in four innings on Sunday.The last-place Astros scored a first-inning run for the third time in the three-game series. Jimmy Paredes, Brian Bogusevic and Brett Wallace each singled to load the bases with nobody out, setting up Fernando Martinez's sacrifice fly.Houston took command with a two-out, fourth-inning rally sparked by Wallace's single to right. After Martinez walked, Dominguez drove Cueto's 1-0 pitch 368 feet into the left field seats for his third home run."It was changeup or cutter in the middle of the plate but it didn't do much," Dominguez said. "I feel good and relaxed. I'm getting good pitches to hit and getting the barrel on the ball. Hitting home runs of two of the best pitchers in the game will boost my confidence for the rest of the season."Cueto (17-8) matched his season low in innings while losing a second consecutive start for the first time since July 3."It was a hard day, just a tough day. I threw the pitches that I wanted to. It was just one of those days," Cueto said through an interpreter."Johnny was just getting the ball up," manager Dusty Baker said. "We didn't get a lot of offense against Gonzalez. He did a good job of mixing up his changeup and fastball."The Reds got on the board in the fourth. Joey Votto walked with one out and scored on Jay Bruce's triple to center field. The Astros got that run back on Green's 10th homer of the season, a 378-foot shot into the right field seats off of Tony Cingrani with one out in the sixth inning.Game notes
The Reds reported that RF Jay Bruce is the first player in major league history to hit at least 20 home runs as a rookie and then improve on that total in each of his next four seasons. ... The Astros finished 399-439-1 against the Reds in 51 seasons in the National League. Houston shifts to the AL West next season. ... Houston manager Tony DeFrancesco is hoping SS Jed Lowrie can rejoin the team in Houston after being out since July 15 with injuries to his right ankle and leg. Lowrie was 0-for-4 with two RBIs as the designated hitter for Single-A Lancaster on Saturday in the first game of a playoff series with Hudson Valley.

Escape to the Emerald Outback @ Beech Mountain
Limited access to trails thru October
(828) 387-3003 for latest updates
The Emerald Outback @ Beech Mountain is a year-round destination for mountain bikers and hikers.
At 5,400 feet high in North Carolina's Blue Ridge Mountains, the Emerald Outback has more than 8 miles of intermediate to advanced trails. The trail system includes single-track and double-track trails, gravel logging trails, and fire roads.
The setting atop Beech Mountain is unlike that of any other trail park in the Southeast.
Wind-swept gnarly Beech trees, lush undergrowth and small streams form an emerald forest that inspired creation of the Land of Oz theme park, which operated nearby from 1970-80.
And, did we mention 100-mile vistas from scenic overlooks?
The Emerald Outback was built by the Town of Beech Mountain. It's free and open to the public seven days a week, with the trail head in the center of this resort town.
Lift access to the Emerald Outback is available for a fee Friday through Sunday via the chairlift at Beech Mountain Resort. The resort's lift includes trays to carry mountain bikes to the summit, with riders following closely behind in a tradition lift chair. Hikers are welcome to ride the lift as well.
Beech Mountain Resort also has a mountain biking park, thus providing bikers with two trail park options in one location.
Discount mountain biking packages and hiking packages for the Emerald Outback are
available by clicking here!
The lift at Beech Mountain Resort serves the Emerald Outback trails and the Beech Mountain Resort trails

Man how about that poor fat kid just sitting right here while this all happened a foot away from him. Kid was dying for that girl to grind up on his dick and make him cum in his pants. Dying for it. Fuckin' Fabio sitting next to him even tried to persuade the girl to do it by pointing at him and shit. Nope. She went straight for the stud and smashed her tits directly in his face. Probably snapped both their necks when they fell off the stage too. Oh well fatty. At least you can beat off to the memory of the day you almost had a chick sit on your cock. You were that close my man. That close.

In my previous posts, I have been talking about software patents. In this post, I would like to discuss the effect that bad patents and patent trolls have on innovation. When I use the term 'bad patents', I am referring to what I believe are two categories patents. First are the patents that meet the current criteria for patentability, but don't meet the criteria that I believe should be the standard for patenting software. I will discuss this tomorrow when I post about how I believe the patent system should work with regards to software patents. The second category includes patents that do not meet the current criteria set forth by the patent office, but have been approved anyways. This is the type of bad patents I will be discussing now.
In the early stages of software patentability, the patent office did not look at computer science majors as engineers (patent agents need to have an engineering or science background). This may or may not explain the vast quantity of bad software patents on the books today. One gleaming example occurred in 2006, when the patent office granted a patent on linked lists, one of the most basic building blocks of many software languages. These patents would most likely be overturned if taken to court because of prior art, but their effect on innovation is serious. Image an inventor who creates a software program. He spends his own money to finance the development. After development, he hires an attorney to do a patent search during which the attorney discovers bad patents that cover some of the processes in his application. The attorney assures the inventor that if the patent owners attempt to enforce these patents that they will not hold up in court, as there is prior art or some other technical reason that the patent would be found invalid. What should the inventor do? Should he take out a second mortgage on his house to fund marketing and distribution? Would you? Would you stake your financial future on a product that violates a patent, even if that patent shouldn't have been granted in the first place? Would you risk an injunction forbidding you from selling your product while months or years of litigation play out? I wouldn't and I imagine that many others wouldn't either.
Patent trolls are another hindrance to innovation. These companies acquire patents, sit on them, and then sue companies that infringe upon them. These companies do not produce any products, they just sue people that do. I have discussed how many large software companies have a patent "war-chest". This common tactic keeps software companies safe from being sued for infringement as they pull a counter suit from this chest and in essence, cancel each other out. However, patent trolls aren't deterred by these defensive patents. Since they don't actually produce anything, there is no way they can be infringing on someone else's patents. Worst of all, they don't sue when the infringing product first comes out. They wait until the product gains popularity and then they strike. So inessence, these companies do nothing more than prevent innovation.
So what can be done? Well, good reader, tomorrow I will give you the solution. I will explain to you how I believe the patent process should work with regards to software patents. I'm sure the folks at the USPTO

Great place to stay!!!
So glad we chose Sandy's place over a hotel! All the comforts of home:). Beautiful, clean, great location. I highly recommend.
Great stay in Anchorage
We spent 10 nights here over the Christmas holiday. It was so great to have a home-like place for holidays away. We set up a little tree and felt comfortable from the start! The location is excellent – easy to the highway, downtown, anywhere. The apartment was clean and well furnished with everything you could need in the kitchen, laundry room, etc. Beds were very comfortable, and we were glad to have the inflatable mattress for a girls' sleepover. I cannot think of anything else that could have been included to make our trip better. Thanks for the great service and accommodations. We would recommend this unit, or any from these owners, based on our experience.
Very comfortable
Our family of four, including 2 teens stayed in this property and found it to be very comfortable. It is larger than it looks in the pictures. The beds were all comfortable. The property was spotless with plenty of towels and blankets.
The owner was very easy to work with and even had freshly baked bread and homemade jam in the unit when we arrived!
Do check what is in the unit prior to shopping. We found fishing equipment, coolers, bear spray in the hall closet and quite a
few grocery staples in the kitchen.
While the unit is half of a duplex, we hardly knew the owner was there.
It is located in a residential neighborhood about 30 minutes north of ANC airport. The nearest grocery, walmart, restaurants etc was 5 minutes away in Eagle River.
We would definately recommend this property, especially for those on a budget.

Montmartre, 18th Arr.
France 75018
Metro: Pigalle, Blanche, Place de Clichy, or Lamarck-Caulaincourt
Concierge.com's insider take:
The bulbous white-stone domes of Sacré-Coeur (built from 1875 to 1919) are Montmartre's dreamy visual emblem, but its real appeal is far earthier. Lacking a port district as the usual venue for less-than-holy pleasures, mid-19th-century Parisians claimed this hilltop village as a place to escape from the pieties of bourgeois France. Taverns, dives, and dance halls opened—some, like the iconic Moulin de la Galette, occupied the old windmills that crowned this breezy outcrop—and artists (Toulouse-Lautrec, of course, but also Picasso, Braque, Modigliani, and Utrillo) followed in search of provocative and accommodating subjects. Today, nostalgia for the Belle Époque is an industry perpetuated in cafés, clubs, theaters, restaurants, bars, and boutiques centered on the Place du Tertre, the prototype tourist trap that's fascinating precisely for that reason: The Butte (as Montmartre is often called by locals) and the Pigalle–Place de Clichy area below it have been in the kitsch-entertainment business so long they've acquired a historic patina. For something more authentic, try the leafy Place des Abbesses, coiling Rue Lepic, or lower sections of the edgy Rue des Martyrs. On the far side of the hill near the Lamarck-Caulaincourt metro station, real locals hang out in atmospheric joints on serpentine streets. Nearby, the Cimetière de Montmartre is possibly the only cemetery in the world with a century-old viaduct flying over its tombs.

Replaced ignition coil on 1991 Ford e-250 as it lost engine power going up hills - somewhere I read that the ignition coil should be replaced every ? miles or 2 yrs. It is very easy to replace- anyone can do that. Ohms resistence on the new one was vastly different from the old one. Could not find specs on what the resistence should be. Was recommedned we use a dynameter (very expensive!!) test to test coil under load, Buying a coil seemed cheaper.We'll see under a real road test - (we live in S OR should be no problem going up I-5!!!.

Pakistan Ahmadis bury Lahore mosque attacks victims
Mourners in Pakistan have buried the 93 victims of co-ordinated attacks by gunmen on two mosques of the minority Ahmadi Islamic sect in Lahore.
The attackers fired guns and threw grenades at worshippers during Friday prayers. Three militants later blew themselves up and two were captured.
An Ahmadi leader called for greater government protection after the attacks by suspected Taliban militants.
Lahore has been the scene of a string of brazen attacks.
The victims were buried in Rabwah, the religious headquarters of the Ahmadi community.
'Easy targets'Security was tight at the two mosques on Saturday.
A day earlier, several attackers, armed with AK-47 rifles, shotguns and grenades, held people hostage briefly inside a mosque in the heavily built-up Garhi Shahu area.
- A minority Islamic sect founded in 1889, Ahmadis believe their own founder, Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, who died in 1908, was a prophet
- This is anathema to most Muslims who believe the last prophet was Muhammad, who died in 632
- Most Ahmadi followers live in the Indian subcontinent
- Ahmadis have been the subject of sectarian attacks and persecution in Pakistan and elsewhere
- In 1974 the Pakistani government declared the sect non-Muslim
Some took up positions on top of the minarets, and fired at police engaged in gunfights with militants below.
Police took control of the other mosque in the nearby Model Town area after a two-hour gunfight.
Pakistan's Geo TV channel said the Pakistani Taliban had claimed responsibility for the assaults.
Members of the community have often been mobbed, or gunned down in targeted attacks, says the BBC's M Ilyas Khan in Islamabad.
But this is the first time their places of worship have suffered daring and well co-ordinated attacks that bear the mark of Taliban militants, our correspondent adds.
Ali Dayan Hassan of Human Rights Watch told the BBC the worshippers were "easy targets" for militant Sunni groups who consider the Ahmadis to be infidels.
While the Ahmadis consider themselves Muslim and follow all Islamic rituals, they were declared non-Muslim in Pakistan in 1973, and in 1984 they were legally barred from proselytising or identifying themselves as Muslims.

If you have any interest in pharmaceuticals, then you can "bank" on the fact that you'll find DrugBank to be a fantastic resource. Of the "molecule-target interaction" variety, DrugBank is different from many of the other databases out there in its emphasis on pharmaceutical data. It contains FDA-approved biotech (protein/peptide) drugs, FDA-approved small molecule drugs, and a large number of experimental drugs. Together, these categories represent over 10,000 entries. As useful as it is to search databases, I always appreciate an option to browse. DrugBank, in fact, gives me (and you!) six such options: browse by drug name, therapeutic category, interacting gene/enzyme, pathway, chemical class, or association (target, enzyme, carrier, or transporter). For each compound, general chemical information is provided in addition to taxonomy, pharmacology, pharmacoeconomics, references, drug interactions, and targets.

The University of California, Berkeley will resume its Bear Transit shuttle bus program with a new vendor, new buses and 17 veteran drivers whose jobs have hung in the balance for nearly three years.The drivers, UC Berkeley employees represented by American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, will remain Berkeley employees under a just-signed agreement with Bauer's Intelligent Transportation, which is set to have interim buses in service January 17. The San Francisco-based company's 2012 buses, Parking and Transportation director Seamus Wilmot said, will not only be newer than the ones the campus had leased from AC Transit, but will be safer and more fuel-efficient.Bear Transit handles about 500,000 annual boardings on its daytime shuttles and some 40,000 boardings on its Night Safety shuttle. Two day shuttle lines, available free to anyone with a campus ID card, run Monday through Friday between the campus, the Downtown Berkeley Bay Area Rapid Transit District (BART) station, the Space Sciences Laboratory and Mathematical Sciences Research Institute, and other local stops. (Non-campus affiliates can ride for a nominal fee.) A third line to Richmond Field Station requires a fare from all riders.The service will be "greatly improved" under the new arrangement, Wilmot said. Among other advances, plans call for implementation of an online program to give riders real-time information about bus arrivals. The free night shuttles, which previously ran only when classes were in session, will now be available year-round.Founded in 1989, Bauer's IT maintains a fleet of 150 buses, and operates commuter and charter transportation services in the Bay Area and throughout California. Due to federal emissions standards, AC Transit's older vehicles had to be taken out of service by Dec. 31, 2011. The new fleet is expected to get triple the mileage of those buses, and will run on biofuel. Bauer's IT will provide the campus with fuel and maintenance for the 2012 models, as well as safety and customer-service training for drivers.Drivers' job duties, compensation and benefits will remain the same, said Wilmot, adding that the campus expects the new contract to yield over $1 million in savings over the next five years.

A hip replacement is a surgical procedure in which parts of an arthritic or damaged joint are removed and replaced with a metal and plastic covering called a prosthesis, or artificial joint. The artificial joint replaces cartilage that has worn away over the years. Hip replacement can eliminate pain and allow artificial joints to function just like normal, healthy joints.
Scottsdale Healthcare offers total hip replacements using two approaches using less invasive techniques than traditional hip replacement surgery – the posterior approach and the anterior approach. All hip replacements, regardless of incision type, require your surgeon to replace the top of the thigh bone and the socket of the pelvis. With posterior hip replacement, the surgeon reaches the hip joint through the back (posterior) of the hip. Using smaller incisions, the surgeon can achieve adequate visualization of the surgical site while minimizing trauma to deep soft tissues, an important factor making rehabilitation faster and easier.
Scottsdale Healthcare also offers an alternative method to posterior total hip replacement – the anterior approach - which can mean less pain, fewer restrictions and faster recovery for most patients. This muscle sparing approach allows the surgeon to reach the hip joint through an incision in the front (anterior) of the hip. The surgeon works between two major muscles without having to detach them from either the femur or pelvis. Because these muscles are not detached, there are less post-operative restrictions following the surgery and recovery time is much faster compared to traditional hip replacement.
The state-of-the-art anterior approach uses a highly specialized operating table called the HANA® table. This table is used in combination with fluoroscopic x-ray images during the surgery, allowing for the precise placement of hip components. This reduces the risk for hip dislocation and post-surgery restrictions on movement. Patients are allowed to bear full weight when comfortable, and in most cases are walking without assistance in two to three weeks. The anterior approach allows patients to get back to their lives quickly and without restrictions, in most cases.
First introduced to Scottsdale Healthcare in 2008 by total joint replacement surgeon Ted Firestone, MD, more than 1,000 anterior hip replacements have since been performed by select surgeons at our hospitals. The surgeons at Scottsdale Healthcare who perform these procedures have all received advanced training and work in a state-of-the-art operating room. Their experience ensures you will receive the highest quality of care before, during and after your surgery.

P-Patch Community Gardens
What is Community Food Security? It is when all community members obtain a safe, culturally acceptable, nutritionally adequate diet through a sustainable food system that maximizes community self-reliance and social justice. Resolution 31019 which established the Local Food Action Initiative directed City of Seattle, Department of Neighborhoods, to develop a Food Policy Action Plan. In 2010 Department of Neighborhoods hired a consultant, the Community Food Security Coalition, using funds that the Council commissioned to assist in developing the Plan. The consultants have completed their recommendations: Community Food Security Coalition Recommendations for Food Systems policy in Seattle. Join the P-Patch Giving Garden listserv At the P-Patch Program we work to improve our Communities Food Security through: Growing your own Community gardens give everyone the opportunity to grow healthy food for themselves and their families. This can be especially important in areas where healthy produce is hard to find or too expensive in neighborhood stores. Sharing the Harvest P-Patchers in Seattle go beyond just growing food for themselves. Each year they grow and donate more than ten tons of produce to neighborhood food banks! 30 P-Patches have active food bank gardening programs thanks to our collaboration with the Lettuce Link Program at Solid Ground. Seattle Market Gardens Urban market gardens and Community Supported Agriculture enterprises help establish safe, healthy communities and economic opportunity for low income families in South Seattle. Each year, in-city farmers grow high-quality, farm-fresh, organic produce for approximately 100 member households during the growing season. Immigrant Gardening Focus We are able to offer gardening opportunities that bring cheap, safe and culturally appropriate food to family's tables Planting Seeds Youth garden opportunities in our p-patches educate young kids about cooking, nutrition, and gardening, giving them life skills to ensure their families and communities are healthy and well - fed into the future. Urban Agriculture Organizational Chart-Seattle Many of the reasons that communities and families are "food insecure" are complex and far-reaching. Working for Food Justice sometimes means taking a big picture approach to improve the policies that shape how our food is produced and who gets to eat it. Seattle King County Acting Food Policy Council P-Patch serves on this council that brings together local government, non-profit organizations, and community members who have a wide range of expertise on food issues including hunger relief, farming, health, nutrition, food retail, industry, food safety, workers, and urban planning to find solutions. The group is strengthening ties with the City of Seattle and King County to establish an official council that will advise and partner with the jurisdictions to address our local concerns. By bringing all of these
different people and organizations together, Food Policy Councils find new ways to solve continuing systematic problems such as hunger, food access, nutritional health,
and agricultural sustainability that often fall between the
cracks of the scope and focus of many separate agencies and organizations.
To learn more about the Seattle King County Acting Food Policy Council
please visit : http://www.psrc.org/about/advisory/regional-food-policy-council/ Partnerships P-Patch partners with other organizations working on food issues in
the county and city of Seattle. P-Patch annual donation totals for giving gardens. An example of one of our partnerships is with Solid Ground's Lettuce Link program and Marra Farm project. The
Lettuce Link Program works with P-Patch's on their Giving Gardens. These
garden plots are planted, maintained, harvested and delivered fresh
produce specifically to near by food banks and feeding programs. Click here for Lettuce Link's most up to date Newsletter. Sue McGann introduces Marra Farm in a new "Community Stories" video on the Seattle Channel. Begun by Italian
immigrants in 1880, the urban oasis was farmed continuously until the
late 1970s. A decade ago people in the community brought Marra Farm
back to life and today it is stewarded by five organizations: Solid
Ground's Lettuce Link, South Park Neighborhood Association, the Mien
Community Garden, Seattle Youth Garden Works, and Seattle's P-Patch
program. Marra Farm grows thousands of pounds of vegetables for a neighborhood
food bank, the farm introduces school children to the wonders of nature,
Seattle Youth Garden Works provides job training for homeless youth,
and the farm provides an opportunity for Seattle's Mien community to
grow food for their families.

The "Tubthumping" single landed on a compilation album that passed through the hands of Lee Chestnut, a programming director at VH1. With its working-class chorus ("I get knocked down/But I get up again/You're never going to keep me down") and nifty trumpet riff, "Tubthumping" caught Chestnut's ear. He phoned the folks at Republic Records, who reportedly took one listen and immediately made Chumbawamba an offer. The band accepted and now records for Republic/ Universal. It's certainly not an indie label: It's affiliated with Universal movie studios.
"There was a time when Crass did sell a lot of records," Bruce recalls, perhaps a little wistfully, "and it seemed as though there was a possibility that an alternative society could exist, or an alternative means of distributing records and reaching people. But now the music industry has sucked all that in and it has adapted. So that way of working can't exist any more. I think what we're doing is accepting that now, in 1998, things are a lot different."
Bruce realizes that Chumbawamba has put itself in a tricky position: It's an anarchist group bankrolled by capitalists. "But if we didn't do that, nobody would know about us," he points out. "We're not ostriches with our heads in the sand who think we can effect change without reaching people. We realize that the most important thing is that we're obsessed by popular culture, so we want to be a part of popular culture. We want to influence it and have some effect on it. We don't want to be on the outside trying to get in. We want to be on the inside kicking outward."
Tubthumper offers twelve terrifically catchy pop tunes that take flying kicks at various targets such as slumlords ("Drip Drip Drip"), corrupt union leaders ("One by One"), and, appropriately enough, the vacuous nature of pop music ("Amnesia"). On "The Big Issue," the group addresses homelessness with the rousing refrain, "This is the girl who/Lost the house which/Paid to the man who/Put up the rent and/Threw out the girl to/Feather his own sweet home." For the most part Tubthumper sounds like the hook-heavy, sample-laden stuff that briefly whisked Jesus Jones and EMF to the top of the charts in the late 1980s.
In the apolitical 1990s, anarchy is pretty difficult to take with a straight face. The key to Chumbawamba's success is that the band is quite earnest about its political beliefs, but never serious. This is the band whose lead singer, Nobacon, once "assassinated" the Clash in midconcert with a paint-ball gun and who last year got himself arrested in Italy for walking the streets wearing a dress. During the band's recent American television appearances, members wore shirts emblazoned with self-critical messages such as "One-Hit Wonder," "Sold Out," and "Shift Units."
"We're just enjoying our fifteen minutes," says Bruce.
And the money? It's split evenly among band members and road crew. According to Bruce, some will go toward repaying old debts, some toward a financially secure future, some toward "unfashionable political groups who can't get money from anyone else." Some might be used to build a studio (though the group has yet to vote on it).
"People think, 'God, it must be great. You've had this success, and you've been playing small clubs and not selling that many records,'" muses Bruce. "But for us, we've had a great time anyway over the last sixteen years, regardless of this success. We've been able to survive as a band. So this is not something that we've been striving for. This is like a happy accident, really."
Chumbawamba performs at 7:00 p.m. on Wednesday, April 1, at the Cameo Theatre, 1445 Washington Ave, Miami Beach; 532-0922. Tickets cost $15.

Pompano Beach is known for its giant casino and minefield of strip clubs, but here's a little-known fact: It's one of the ass-kickingest places to watch a Dolphins game. Between beer-chugging camaraderie and hot girls in jerseys at Bru's Room, a dose of hippie-paced football culture at Pat's Place, and more drunken, entertaining sports fans at the Bearded Clam, Pompano Beach is one football-lovin' town.
Bru's Room: Bru's Room was packed with an aqua-and-orange-spotted sea of good ol' football fans long before the Dolphins/Colts game on a recent Monday evening. People sat elbow-to-elbow at the bar, gathered in groups on the patio, and squashed around tables. At the back of the bar room was a large mirror with colored bubble letters scrawled across it proclaiming the football-game specials — no drink more expensive than $5.90 and plenty less than $3. The interior was decorated with Gators banners, Budweiser signs, drink-special ads, and various framed paraphernalia, including a signed Mighty Ducks jersey (go figure).
"What's Bru's Brew?" I asked the waitress, pointing to a drink listed on the menu.
Pat's Place Sports Bar, 635 E. Atlantic Blvd., Pompano Beach. Call 954-942-6164, or click here.
The Bearded Clam, 3204 E. Atlantic Blvd., Pompano Beach. Call 954-781-2376.
"Oh, it's Icehouse." Our pocket-sized waitress had straight brown hair and excellent facial structure.
"What's Icehouse?" I turned to my two accompanying friends.
"Pretty much the worst beer ever," one of them, Beard, told me. He ordered a Dos Equis.
Meanwhile, the game had commenced. Peyton Manning threw a long pass, resulting in an immediate touchdown just a few seconds into the game. The crowd collectively sucked its teeth and subsequently moaned in disappointment.
After ingesting one (OK, five) too many fried pickles, I moseyed over to a pair of good-looking ladies who actually seemed to (gasp!) care about the game. Sally had kinky blond hair and wore a green Jason Taylor jersey. Her friend Julie was dark-haired and rather prim.
"You know, an ex-Dolphins player is part-owner of this bar," Sally volunteered. "Bob Brudzinski."
"And this is the best place to watch the Dolphins," said Julie. "It's awesome."
"They save our spots every week," said Sally. "This entire group is ours." She gestured. The entire narrow side of the rectangular bar was awash with a motley assortment of Dolphins fans, all studying the many flat-screen TVs intently.
"So, do you just come to look cute in that jersey, or are you a true fan?" I asked Sally.
"We're die-hard," said Sally. "We were here the season they lost every game."
"They didn't lose every game," I corrected her. "They won one."
"Oh, yeah, and that was such a great day. We celebrated so hard that night," Sally said. "It was just one game, but I was so glad we didn't go 0 and 16."
Just then, the Dolphins scored a touchdown and evened the score. Bru's Room exploded with cheering, clapping, and "wooo"-ing. A portly guy in an orange shirt enthusiastically double-high-fived a brunet who didn't seem to know him. Julie and Sally's entire group of friends took victory shots.
Pat's Place: Pat's was slow-paced and sleepy in comparison to Bru's Room or a similar fan-packed sports bar, but it had a certain 1970s charm that I couldn't help but love — the orange walls, the mustached old gents watching the game, Pink Floyd subtly playing in the background. There were a dozen or so flat screens, about half of them showing the Dolphins game, and a Wii in a small room off from the main bar. An American flag covered one wall, and a moose's head adorned another. The bartender, Steve, greeted us warmly, and I hopped up on a barstool, next to a scraggly gentleman who was unsuccessfully attempting to explain the rules of football to his wobblingly drunk female companion. She nodded with feigned interest, but her eyes were visibly glazed over.
The bartender was attentive and pleasant and whisked a bourbon and Coke over before the words finished coming out of my mouth. (Bonus points: Much later, when I suspected I'd drunkenly forgotten my credit card at Pat's, I called the bar and Steve took painstaking efforts to help me relocate it. This was all futile because the mislaid credit card was on my kitchen table, behind a stack of old New Times papers.)
"What are all these pictures?" The entire bar surface was covered with old photographs, most of them aged and slightly sepia-toned.
"They're from over the years," the bartender said, leaning in. "They're slightly older, so don't be surprised if you see pictures of people in short-shorts and high tube socks." He gave a charming laugh.
Sure enough, the folks in the photos had aviators clipped to their shirts, big hats, tuxedo T-shirts, long beards, and bikini babes posing with a yacht called Dolphin Panamara. There was even a photo of Dolphin paraphernalia-clad people tailgating. A bar that's loved the Dolphins since before I was born? Now that's hardcore.
The Bearded Clam: The Bearded Clam, an appropriately fishy-smelling venue, had red walls, a pool table, a giant fish tank along the front wall (with a life-sized mermaid statue laying inside), a lobster tank by the entrance, and two TVs playing the Dolphins game. The bar dominated the room, and the young, blond bartender brought us each a cold one.

IwamotoScott Architecture creates a lightweight structure of compression arches out of wood laminate for SCI-Arc.
Play Slideshow >>
Voussoir Cloud
Courtesy IwamotoScott Architecture
Students helped to construct the individual petals and then the actual structure. A team of students is seen working to install some of the perimeter petal sections.
This installation had to be constructed in a very specific order, with each phase represented by a different color in this diagram. The column feet (in pink) had to be constructed first, followed by the ribs of the vaults (brown), the perimeter (green), and the infill spaces on top of the vaults (yellow).
An assembled petal
In the Voussoir Cloud, a series of wood laminate petals were used to create compression arches and vaults in a study of structure and porosity. Teams of students were involved in folding the laser-cut petals and in assembling those petals to construct the installation.
Petals were lasercut from thin wood laminate
The seams were scored for ease of assembly
Each petal was designed using a computer script written by the design team. The virtual petals could then be digitally unfolded to create a template from which the actual petals could be laser-cut.
Four types of petals were used in construction??those with zero, one, two, or three curved edges. These petals were then placed and secured in a pattern that allows compression vaults to be formed.
Four types of petals were used in construction—those with zero, one, two, or three curved edges. These petals were then placed and secured in a pattern that allows compression vaults to be formed.
This model showcases the development of petal types needed to form a proper compressive vault system. The model was developed using Delaunay tessellation patterns, derived from nature.
The goal of the installations at the Southern California Institute of Architecture's gallery in Los Angeles is to redefine received notions of space using cutting-edge technologies and to involve students in the construction process. IwamotoScott Architecture of San Francisco endeavored to comply with this mission in its installation at the gallery, the Voussoir Cloud, while taking inspiration from some past masters.
The basic premise behind the Voussoir Cloud is a compression structure made from lightweight petals of thin wood laminate and modeled after voussoirs—the wedge-shaped bricks or stones used to form compression arches. To design the structure, the team used computational hanging chain models (the same method, minus the computer, that Eero Saarinen used for the St. Louis Gateway Arch). Form-finding programs and custom computer scripts helped the architects determine the profile lines and the vault shapes. The jury enthused about the deceptively simple results of the complex process. "It's minimal in use of materials, it's spatial, it's structural—it's everything architects should be concerning themselves with," John Ronan said.
The structure uses four types of vaguely triangular petals—those with zero, one, two, or three curved edges, the remaining edges on each petal being flat. Each petal incorporates a series of flanges that fold back to achieve a bowl-like shape. Smaller petals form the structural columns and the petals grow larger toward the top of the vaults. IwamotoScott designed the vaults with gaps between petals, an antithetical approach that admits light from the gallery's clerestory windows.

Marvel Digital Comics Relaunch
- Posted by Johanna on December 14, 2005 at 8:14 pm
- Category: Comic News
Marvel's trying again with digital comics. I'm pleased to see that She-Hulk is one of the titles getting the promotional push, since it's one of the two titles from them I follow. (The other is Young Avengers.) Others featured in the launch are Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man (what could have been a good book damaged by a poorly thought-out crossover), Captain America, and their kid book Franklin Richards.
The user experience could be improved: the control panel is too confusing and overwhelming to new users, basic elements are missing (the scroll bar, for example, has no thumb to indicate where you are in the document), you can't read a page as a page (you have to zoom into a panel in order to read the text); and they demand user registration to read their free offerings (even when newspapers are moving away from registration, because it only gets you dirty data).
I never tried their previous effort at online comic reading, so I can't compare the two in terms of presentation or ease of use. I hope my readers will comment.

December 15, 2005 at 1:26 AMMike Wieringo said at wordballoon.com that the plan is to do some stand-alone stories in FNSM, to distance itself from what was apparently a pretty dark crossover. FNSM is supposed to be more kid-friendly, after all.
I've yet to jump on the digital comic bandwagon, but I figure I will one of these days.
I'm enjoying the new look! Maybe a bit too much purple for my tastes, but I dig the category navigation and overall design.
- Johanna Says:
December 15, 2005 at 7:09 AMWith that title, the book shouldn't be that gross and dark.
My fear is that FNSM blew it with ill-conceived promotion. Many books don't get more than one chance (if that) these days to click with the audience. And I doubt Marvel is going to make a big deal about a possible tone change — that could be seen as admitting a mistake, and no one likes to do that.
(What's wrong with purple? :) )

Eat all you can
Daily Mail
Rhodri Philips
A pill is being created to let hamburger-and-chips lovers eat their favourite fatty foods without putting on too much weight.
It could reduce the need to eat large amounts of vegetables with a meal, would be cheap to buy and could be on sale in Britain within a year.
Its creator Dr Joseph Kanner said: "A lentil burger doesn't always have the same appeal as a beefburger - this pill will allow you to eat more of your favourite foods without becoming as fat as you would without it. Ideally, we should eat fruit and vegetables all the time - but it is a shame not to indulge in our favourite foods when we want to."
As a side-effect, the pill will cut the risk of developing cancer by mopping up free radicals, the substances that damage body cells. The pill contains polyphenol chemicals, which Dr Kanner has shown reduce the amount of fat absorbed into the blood.
The chemicals were known to cut the risk of heart attack - but until now it has not been established why. Dr Kanner's research proves for the first time that they can help with weight control and prevent fats clogging arteries.
Dr Kanner, a food-science researcher for the Israeli government, found that if polyphenols are taken with a meal, some of the fats eaten are not absorbed into the blood but discarded as waste.
Polyphenols are also found in red wine, fruit and vegetables, and Dr Kanner said: "Some people already take enough with their food to reduce their fat uptake. However, others need help to get their fill. This pill would allow us to indulge in something that would normally be bad for us."
Dr Kanner added that his pill would be cheap and its effects immediate. He is now working with a manufacturer to produce it.
A British Nutrition Foundation spokeswoman admitted "it could stop people putting on too much weight" but added: "We would not want to see such people give up fruit and vegetables totally."
Dr Kanner admitted his pill would not reduce all fats but would limit oxidised fats being absorbed. Oxidised fats, which are particularly damaging to our bodies, are found in all meats.
Dr Kanner's research is published in this month's journal of the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology, whose editor-in-chief Gerald Weissmann said: "As long as deep-fried candy bars are on menus, scientists will need to keep serving up new ways to prevent the damage caused by these tasty treats. This study suggests that the time will come soon where people can eat their French fries without plugging their arteries full of fat."

Hello, everyone. It is time once again for my review of the latest Doctor Who episode, so please indulge me as I bore the shit out of you while I talk about the various intricacies of the Christmas Special. Ok, ready, guys? Here we go.
I wasn't able to talk about the last two episodes before The Snowmen, mainly because The Power of Three and The Angels Take Manhattan were two of the most heartbreaking Doctor Who episodes I have seen since Rose Tyler and Donna Noble's respective exits. I really, really, loved the Ponds, ok? Rory's my second-favorite companion after Donna, and we all know about my unhealthy obsession with Amy Pond and her ginger sexiness. Which is why I was both dreading and anticipating Clara's debut as companion in The Snowmen. How the hell is she going to live up to the Ponds? Also, is she going to be another sassy, sexy, companion in the same vein as Amy and River?
Full review, plus spoilers, after this point! Continue reading

CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) — Pushing our infant son in a stroller, my wife and I stepped out of the terminal at Simon Bolivar International Airport and were approached by several taxi drivers offering to take us to Caracas. One of them, a soft-spoken young man in his 20s, offered the lowest fare by far, and I handed him one of our bags.
The small white car crawled up the hill in the darkness, then slowed and stopped. Doors opened. Two men burst into the car, one in the front passenger seat and the other in the back seat, pressing against my wife.
"Be calm," the young man in the back said, holding up a revolver so that we could see it, a frightened look in his eyes.
"Don't worry, nothing's going to happen to you," the man in the front said, turning another gun on me. "Don't look!"
That ordeal eight years ago introduced me to life in Venezuela, a country where events often collide in unpredictable and dramatic ways and where a wide gap frequently separates the reality on the street from the socialist-inspired dreams that President Hugo Chavez has instilled in his followers.
During more than eight years covering Venezuela, I have gained more street smarts, become a tougher, more resourceful reporter and developed a deep affection for this country where I've met many warm, free-thinking people.
Venezuela's many long-term challenges, such as crime, corruption, a troubled economy and bitter political divisions, can seem as vast as the sea of crude oil that Venezuela sits atop. And with Chavez battling cancer, the country could be headed for big political shifts and possible turmoil.
A couple of years after the robbery, I found myself sitting in the passenger seat of a Toyota 4Runner while Chavez drove through the lush, green plains of Apure state.
In our interview, he talked about his years as an army officer plotting against the government and how growing up in the rural plains had shaped his radical ideas.
"What hurts me most is poverty, and that's what made me a rebel," Chavez said.
When he slowed and lowered the tinted window, passers-by gawked and then broke into a run, screaming, "Presidente!"
One woman ran to the window with tears in her eyes and cried out "I love you!"
Chavez clasped hands and planted kisses, while they asked him for help replacing shacks with houses or treating sick relatives. Chavez promised to rescue them all.
It was a role I saw him play many times: the larger-than-life leader supporters expected to solve their many problems. At rallies, I watched as people pressed letters into the hands of Chavez's aides, asking for money to help their poor neighborhoods or fledgling cooperatives.
It was a remarkable up-close look at a populist leader in the mold of the classic Latin American caudillo, who often seemed to want to use his power and charisma for good.
But there was a downside. He could use the same force to sideline opponents and rule Venezuela with few checks.
He dominated power to such a degree that he once said on television that Judge Maria Lourdes Afiuni should go to jail for 30 years for freeing a banker while he awaited trial. Today, she is still under house arrest.
Some Chavistas told me at political rallies that a leader like Chavez comes along once in a century, and that may be one point Venezuelans can agree on, whether they love or hate him.
At a news conference in late 2011, I asked him point-blank what type of cancer he was diagnosed with, whether sarcoma as some have speculated, or another type. He had managed for months not to reveal many details about his illness.
Chavez chuckled at the question at first, then said: "You know more than I do."
He explained that a baseball-sized tumor had been removed from his pelvic region and asked: "You want me to tell you more? What for? What for? ... Isn't there some morbidity in that?"

Concierge.com's insider take:
This residencial—a simply hostelry that's a bit like a boarding house, only without the meals—lies smack in the center of the old city, overlooking busy Avienda dos Aliados. Costing well under $100 for a double any time of year, the 43 rooms are simple but comfortable, with furnishings ranging from 1960s-functional to the odd antique. Some come with fine city views. The staff is friendly and helpful when it comes to planning your time in Porto.
Closed December 24 and 25.

Today was Shaina's last day with the Colonial Wardrobe department. She spent the afternoon spinning.
She and Penny (who figured out today she's been spinning for 20 years) have been planning for her to try it, but Things kept coming up, as they will. Today Penny got out some wool and a drop spindle and her (Penny's) wheel, and look what happened!
Shaina didn't like the spindle too much (they do call it a drop spindle for a reason) but she took to the wheel quickly. She spun some really nice yarn, not even nice for a beginner, but really nice. Now she needs a wheel.
We wish Shaina all the best in her new life, and trust she will come back often, now that she knows the way.

Polushin Update
Submitted by pete on February 10, 2005 - 23:29
Polushin, Alexander
I just got a response back from [url=http://www.russianprospects.com/public/aboutus_staff.php]Evgeny Belashenko[/url] of [url=http://russianprospects.com]Russianprospects.com.[/url] If you can pull yourself away from that picture of the lovely Ms. Melikova, Evgeny speculates that Alex Polushin's lack of games at the Superleague level may be due to him not fitting with CSKA's new system under Slava Bykov who took over from the venerable Viktor Tikhonov. Whatever the reason, Polushin's mere 11 games at the Superleague level (3-3-6 with 4PIMs in those games) has led to some consternation amongst some Lightning fans. Others who are more vocal and less knowledgable on the web (AOL bottomfeeders I'm looking in your direction) have even gone so far to claim that Polushin doesn't deserve to be a highly rated prospect because he, to paraphrase their argument, hasn't played any hockey in two seasons. And while it is true he missed most of last season with a knee injury, Polushin has NOT been merely serving popcorn in CSKA's pressbox this season. To the contrary, he has been playing for CSKA2 in the Farm/First League where he is at over a point a game pace at 10-13-23 in 21 games. To put that in some measure of perspective, a couple of seasons ago when Dimitry Kazionov was playing in the First League he had 14-13-27 in 34 games.

Tampa Bay Lightning center Eric Perrin was named to the AHL Canadian All-Star team today. Perrin, playing for Hershey during the lockout, leads the Bears with 37 points on 13 goals and 24 assists through 43 games. Perrin, who was a late-season call-up for the Bolts in 2003-'04, also appeared in last year's AHL All-Star game, registering two assists. He had one assist in 16 appearances for the Lightning, including 12 post-season games. Congratulations to :E

Tampa Bay Lightning
Tampa Bay Lightning center Brad Richards returned to his parents' home in Murray Harbor, PEI, on Thursday after being released from a Philadelphia hospital where he underwent surgery to repair a severe tear in his lower abdominal wall. Richards, who won the Conn Smythe trophy as playoff MVP during the Lightning's Stanley Cup run in June, had been playing during the lockout for Ak Bars Kazan in Russia. He returned to North America in December after only 7 games (2+5) with the team, citing pain in his hip and abdomen. It was originally diagnosed as a sports hernia. Richards expects to be able to begin working out again by late-March, which would be just in time for the home-stretch if the NHL's lockout gets resolved (yeah, right).

Tampa Bay Lightning
Tampa Bay Lightning defenseman Nolan Pratt has signed with EV Duisburg of Germany's Second Bundesliga for the remainder of the season. Pratt will join Die Fuchse (that's "The Foxes" to you and me) in a couple of weeks, at which point there will be only about a month remaining in their season. If that doesn't tell you everything you need to know about how the CBA negotiations are going, you're thicker than a Hardee's half-pounder. Pratt's been keeping in shape playing pickup with Cory Sarich, Chris Dingman, Dave Andreychuk and Johnny Grahame at the Ice Sports Forum in Brandon.

Ahhhhh, my first European Hockey Update away from the third world dictatorship that HF has become. Lets begin: All in all, the beat goes on in Europe for the Lightning's prospects. They have some excellent overage properties like Somervuori, But and Norrena but have yet to see the explosion from youngsters like Polushin and Kazionov they might've hoped for. The exception to the rule is 2004 entry draft 6th rounder Karri Ramo, who is emerging as one of the two best young goalies in all of Finland after having a remarkable performance at Traverse City.
