Question about crosses
This is probably a silly question, and I almost feel ridiculous asking, but I can't find the answer anywhere online...
I've been crossing my own daylilies for a couple of years, and completely understand how the process of intentionally crossing daylilies works....but...what I can't find is how the crosses work when pods form and I haven't crossed them. For example, I had quite a few pods set on Big Kiss, but didn't intentionally use it as a pod parent. So....is it Big Kiss x Unknown, or Big Kiss x Big Kiss? I always harvest them, but I don't know what the proper way to label them is. I don't know whether to thank the bees for taking pollen from another daylily, or if it self-pollinated...or both...help!
I breed horses - when we show pedigree information, we do thusly: [father x mother]. When I have a pod like yours that is fertilized by the bees or ?? I label [unknown x Big Kiss], as I look at the plant with the pod as the mother. I wouldn't think it matters, as long as you know which is which. The opposite may be correct in plant breeding. This is just easier for me to remember since I have classified my horses this way for so many years.
I'm not positive either, but I think in daylilies its POD PARENT X POLLEN PARENT. In this case, I would know the pod parent (mother), but not the pollen parent (father). That's how I've been listing them anyway. I may have it totally backward though :)
I have horses, but I never thought about how their pedigree was set up. i'll have to take a look at their papers. :)

Tammy is right -- Correct notation is POD x POLLEN (or MOTHER x FATHER if you want to think of it that way).
If it helps, normally UNKNOWN will always come last (NAME x UNK). The only way to get UNK x NAME is if you are crossing onto plants that you can't identify or your labels get partially lost.
As for horses, I think we can all be glad that they never self-pollinate. :o)
If I recall correctly, the Reinkes used to (and perhaps still do) use the notation of POD PARENT x Chance, when the pollen parent was unknown. (Whether or not these "Chance" pods were all strictly bee pods I don't know... but it sounds better to me than "unknown".)
Right now I am trying to germinate seed from a seedling of uncertain ancestry. (The seedling was planted just prior to rotator cuff surgery, iirc, and in my haste to get several last minute garden things done I did not make a record/map of what seedlings were planted out, never mind where. Critters did for the label before I could pay the seedlings any attention. Somehow the list of what seedlings I *did* have (regardless of whether or not they got planted) got lost.) The hybridizing clip on one of the pods was lost, meaning that not only do I not know what the pod parent for the cross is, I also don't know what the pollen parent is! In the unlikely event that the seedlings (if any) from this seed thrive and one is worthy of registration (hah!), I would have to list the parentage as "Sdlg x unknown".
(Fwiw I do have strong suspicions as to the ancestry of the seedling - at least with respect to one ancestor - and there were a limited number of prospective pollen parents I would have used. Unfortunately, I did not record each and every cross as I made it; it is much easier to just clip the pod and sort it all out and record the data when the seed is collected. Doubly unfortunate (and just to add more confusion), last season I made some spontaneous and unplanned crosses, and I also deliberately let the bees set some pods, and one or the other might have been true for this seedling (or the bees might have beaten me to it). Aieeee! It will either be fun - or frustrating - to try to guess "who's the daddy".)

Last Updated: 20th February 2015
Controller, RTÉjr and Cross Divisional Head of Children's Content - Sheila de Courcy
Executive Producer, Animation & Independent Commissioning - Pauline Macnamara
RTÉ: OUTPUT for CHILDREN
RTÉ offers a comprehensive range of content for children and young people across two channels and four platforms. RTÉjr, for youngsters aged under 7, delivers a broad mix of original and acquired live action and animated programming, games and information across four commercial-free platforms. RTÉjr digital TV and Radio stations run daily from 0700-1845 while the complementary online and mobile services are available 24/7. RTÉ2, RTÉ's second channel, offers pre-school programming in the mornings. This is followed by a mixed programming block in the afternoons and early evening for older children (aged 7-15), branded TRTÉ. TRTÉ also offers content across four platforms, with TRTÉ digital Radio available from 1900-2100 each day and online and mobile elements available 24/7. Finally, on RTÉ Two 'Two Tube', a third programming strand, for older teens and young adults runs from 1730-1900.
RTÉ looks for content which reflects the world in which young people in Ireland are growing up, and which has the capacity to engage fully with its target audience. Diverse styles and approaches are welcome and it is likely that projects will have applications or potential across more than one platform. Essential for all proposals is a clear understanding of the proposed target audience and their needs, and the potential to bring something original, innovative and exciting to our audience.Of particular interest to us at this time are co-productions with broadcasters or content producers in other countries. These should deliver material reflective of and relevant to youngsters living in Ireland in a way that is cost-effective to RTÉ.
SO, WHAT EXACTLY ARE WE INTERESTED IN? Original commissions provide highlights in our mixed schedules for young people. We are interested in innovative production models, original onscreen/online style and diverse approaches to storytelling in concepts which explore or reflect the lives of youngsters growing up in Ireland today. Co-productions on proposals which will contain a strong Irish component and provide our audience with good value-for-money content are particularly welcome. Given the profile of our audience every proposal should have an original complementary cross-platform component or dimension. As we are unlikely to commission a subject area already in the schedule, we highly recommend you familiarise yourself with our output before finalising your idea or proposal. For RTÉjr:
RTÉjr is looking for original programme ideas to supplement the growing number of strands made especially for the under-7s. In 2014, in a new departure, RTÉjr enjoyed great success with engaging observational documentary series Our Farm which followed the day to day pursuits of the young Doyle family in Co. Mayo and Zara World which featured an inner city Dublin family. Wildlife challenge strands Shutterbugs and Bug Hunters brought outdoor adventure, photography and nature and What's Your Game? saw Munster rugby legend Donncha O'Callaghan learn sports from very young enthusiasts. In studio-based entertainment formats both The Beo Show and The Curious World of Professor Fun and Dr. Dull have seen great success and engagement with the junior audience, largely down to the big characters at the centre of each format. RTÉjr is now looking for some of the following programme types:
Scripted Short Form:
RTÉjr is interested in original character-centred, script-based programmes for its young audience. Stories based in both fantasy worlds and the real world are of interest and themes should be of interest to young children. The programmes may or may not feature children in them. We are interested in long-running series (minimum 10 episodes) and episodes should be short in duration.
Number: 10, 15 or 20 episodes
Duration: 5 - 7 Minutes per episode
Budget: Max: €52,000 per hour
We ask, in the first instance, that producers submit ideas into the eCommissioning system: https://e-commissioning.rte.ie/SWIFT.Web/skins/rte/login.aspx under the programme category Young Peoples "Scripted Short Form"
Closing date 12 noon Friday 20th March 2015
Studio or Location-Based Short Form:
To complement the compelling observational documentary and wildlife programming in the schedule, RTÉjr is looking for ideas for short-form quiz-style shows, for comedy proposals, for cooking ideas catering specifically for under 7s. In addition we are seeking scientific and philosophical programming for the under-7s - How does the world work? How do we relate to the people around us? Life in the Sky: Clouds, stars, planets, birds . Proposals exploring these areas in a treatment designed for young children are of interest. We are seeking proposals which explore inter-generational relationships in studio or location based challenge formats which empower young children and encourage engagement between the youngest and the oldest in the community. (e.g., 7 v 77 year-olds),Other ideas which you are passionate about may also be of interest. High volume, short form formats are key elements for any submission and we are interested in proposals with new writers and a variety of on-screen talent including new and existing talent, live and puppets and all age groups.
We ask, in the first instance, that producers submit ideas into the eCommissioning system: https://e-commissioning.rte.ie/SWIFT.Web/skins/rte/login.aspx under the programme category Young Peoples "Studio/Location Based Short Form"
For TRTÉ:
Entertainment Series
Following on from two very successful seasons of both Una's Dream Ticket and OMG! Jedward's Dream Factory (dream-come-true series) we are looking for a new Entertainment series for 2016. This series should be fun, escapist, magical and smart featuring strong core elements which will engage our young viewing audience. The series should be high energy, feel-good and fast paced in style and age-appropriate substance for the TRTÉ audience. Celebrity involvement is a preference, children's involvement is a must. It is important that the series will be repeatable and suitable for transmission at different times across the year. This series can be studio or location based or a combination of both. Projects offering strong value for money will be favoured.
Number: 10 x half hours
Budget: To a Maximum of €325,000
We ask, in the first instance, that producers submit ideas into the eCommissioning system: https://e-commissioning.rte.ie/SWIFT.Web/skins/rte/login.aspx under the programme category Young Peoples "TRTÉ Entertainement"
Quiz or Game Show Format
Entertainment shows form a strong part of the TRTÉ schedule on RTÉ2. Our audiences love good stories and strong characters. They enjoy humour, anarchy and passion. They need to be hooked from the opening moments of a show and entertained right to the very end. We are looking for proposals for a series that will entertain and engage this tween audience. A game show format with jeopardy, skill and fun at its core will have appeal.
Programmes which have been successful for TRTÉ include Shakedown The Town - a treasure-hunting game show series which put kids in charge and parents under pressure, Frenemies, a debate-based game show and Sing! - a quiz entertainment format which saw youngsters get a chance to sing with the live house band. Smart, fast-moving, clever, with strong narrative structure and lots of participation by young people, these series engaged the young audience with great fun and style.
Successful programmes for this audience feature and reflect the themes which occupy their worlds and minds. This particular age group is curious about growing up, about attaining independence from their parents, about developing personal relationships, about identity and how they should appear to their own peer group.
Each programme can be self-contained and capable of standing alone, however there should be a format or other defined identity that gives cohesion to the series. It is envisaged this series will be block recorded in a studio but ideas but location based ideas achievable for the available budget may also be considered.
Number: 9 x half hour
Budget: to a maximum of €260,000
We ask, in the first instance, that producers submit ideas into the eCommissioning system: https://e-commissioning.rte.ie/SWIFT.Web/skins/rte/login.aspx under the programme category Young Peoples "Quiz or Game Show Format"
Documentary - One-off or Short Series:
We are interested in ideas for documentaries for the 7-15s audience. First person stories or experiences of some of the more challenging aspects of life for children in Ireland today - from social exclusion, to illness of somebody close, from facing down phobia to living with debilitating disorder - these areas are all of interest with the right central character and the right treatment.
With extraordinary access to world events through social media, rolling news and online networks the TRTÉ audience today is exposed to extensive news and current events. This audience has also lived through a remarkable upheaval in Irish society and economy.
We are interested in documentaries which give children a platform to tell their story from their own perspective. Lightness of touch and understanding of the children's perspective are crucial in this genre for the TRTÉ audience.
For reference, the CBBC Newsround special - My Autism And Me; CBBC My Life: Mr. Alzheimers and Me; The Outsiders - an RTÉ Radio One documentary made by two young friends living at a direct provision centre in Athlone.
Number: 4 x 15 mins series or 4 x one-off 15 mins documentaries
Budget: to a maximum of €20,000 per episode
We ask, in the first instance, that producers submit ideas into the eCommissioning system: https://e-commissioning.rte.ie/SWIFT.Web/skins/rte/login.aspx under the programme category Young Peoples "Documentary One off or Short Series"
Please note budget ranges are indicative only, and proposals that can achieve lower costs per hour will be particularly attractive'.
Please note:
The discussion of, or initial interest in, a proposal does not represent a commitment to commission by RTÉ and should not be understood as such. Commissioning decisions will reflect the quality of proposals received and the scheduling priorities operating at the time. RTÉ's financial position will also be a factor.
Any proposals previously submitted to RTÉ in categories listed here, and which were rejected on a first reading in a previous Round, should not be re-submitted and will not be reconsidered.

42,000 year-old baby mammoth on display in Chicago
CHICAGO (AP) -- Some 42,000 years after scientists say she fell into mud near a river and suffocated to death, an intact baby woolly mammoth from the Ice Age is to go on display for the first time in the United States at The Field Museum.
Scientists say the mammoth calf named Lyuba is the best preserved and most complete mammoth specimen known. She was found in 2007 by a reindeer herder in northern Siberia's remote Yamal-Nenets autonomous region and named for his wife.
"Her preservation, her really lifelike qualities allow you to form a better impression of what the past was really like," said Dan Fisher, a University of Michigan paleontologist and the museum's exhibit curator. "It becomes more immediate. It's real."
In the exhibit that opens Friday, visitors can see the folds and creases in Lyuba's (pronounced Lee-OO-bah) skin, the bottom of her foot and small patches of hair on her ear and leg. At 45 inches long, Lyuba weighs about 92 pounds and if fully grown could have measured 8 feet tall at her shoulder and weighed between 3 and 4 tons, Fisher said.
Lyuba has been a boon for scientists, who have done MRIs, CT scans and DNA testing among other analysis on the baby mammoth.
"The things you can learn from a fleshy specimen like this that you can't learn from studying a skeleton," said Tom Skwerski, The Field Museum's project manager for the exhibit. "It's as if all of a sudden you've been given this great gift to be able to reaffirm a lot of your theories."
Scientists have analyzed Lyuba's stomach contents, finding her mother's milk. They say she was 1 month old when she died and was in excellent condition.
Scientists first analyzed Lyuba's baby tusks and chewing teeth, looking for details about diet, environment and health.
"The important thing about Lyuba, though, is that in a sense she gave us the answers to many of the questions we would ask through those analyses," Fisher said. "Because there's her whole body preserved in its entirety."
Experts say the baby mammoth remained well-preserved because she was frozen in permafrost for thousands of years. Fisher also said her body was colonized by naturally occurring bacteria that produced lactic acid, which kept her body "pickled."
Lyuba's body was immersed in preservative solutions for her Chicago display, scientists said.
Skwerski calls the baby mammoth a "singular object" and says she has been valuable to scientists around the world.
"To get Lyuba for our exhibition is like getting the Mona Lisa for your exhibition on Italian art," Skwerski said.
The baby mammoth's true value may be in her ability to bring people closer to human history, the history of the Earth's climate system and climate change, Fisher said.
"If Lyuba opens people's minds to any of that, then she's doing a great job for us," he said.
The baby mammoth's home institution is the Shemanovskiy Museum and Exhibition Center in Salekhard, Russia. She is the centerpiece of a larger multimedia exhibition at the Field called "Mammoths and Mastodons: Titans of the Ice Age" through Sept. 6.
The exhibit is to travel to other North American cities, including Jersey City, N.J.; Anchorage, Alaska; St. Louis; San Diego; Denver, and Boston.

Taking a stab at Flowering Rush
John Madsen knows all too well the nasty effects invasive species can have on lakes -- it's what the Mississippi State University researcher does for a living.
That's why the Pelican River Watershed District contracted his services, along with a researcher from Concordia College in Moorhead and a representative from the Army Corps of Engineers.
The crew was in town last week to find out more about aquatic invasive species in the lakes region.

The sinking of the Lusitania is a story that many of us think we know but don't, and Erik Larson tells it thrillingly, switching between hunter and hunted while painting a larger portrait of America at the height of the Progressive Era. DEAD WAKE brings to life a cast of evocative characters --- from famed Boston bookseller Charles Lauriat to pioneering female architect Theodate Pope to President Woodrow Wilson, a man lost to grief, dreading the widening war but also captivated by the prospect of new love.
DEAD WAKE: The Last Crossing of the Lusitania
By Erik Larson
Shane steps away from his larger-than-life Internet persona and takes us deep into the experiences of an eccentric and introverted kid, who by observing the strange world around him developed a talent that would inspire millions of fans. Intelligent, hilarious, heartbreaking, and raw, I HATE MYSELFIE is a collection of eighteen personal essays about how messy life can get when you're growing up and how rewarding it can feel when the clean-up is (pretty much) done.
The Stranger appears out of nowhere. His identity is unknown, and his motives are unclear. But his information is undeniable. He whispers a few words in your ear and disappears, leaving you picking up the pieces of your shattered world. Adam Price has a lot to lose: a comfortable marriage to a beautiful woman, two wonderful sons, and all the trappings of the American Dream. Then he runs into the Stranger. When he learns a devastating secret about his wife, he confronts her, and the mirage of perfection disappears as if it never existed at all.
In 1893, Sherlock Holmes and Henry James come to America together to solve the mystery of the 1885 death of Clover Adams. Holmes has faked his own death because he has come to the conclusion that he is a fictional character. This leads to serious complications for James. If his esteemed fellow investigator is merely a work of fiction, what does that make him? And what can the master storyteller do to fight against the sinister power that may or may not be controlling them from the shadows.
In all her life, Eustacia "Taisy" Cleary has given her heart to only three men: her first love, Ben Ransom; her twin brother, Marcus; and Wilson Cleary --- professor, inventor, philanderer, self-made millionaire, brilliant man, breathtaking jerk: her father. Seventeen years ago, Wilson ditched his first family for Caroline, a beautiful young sculptor. Why then, is Wilson calling Taisy now, inviting her for an extended visit? Why, now, does Wilson want Taisy to help him write his memoir?
In a split second, everything Caroline Cashion has known is proved to be a lie. A single bullet is found lodged at the base of her skull. Caroline is stunned. She has never been shot. Then, over the course of one awful evening, she learns the truth: that she was adopted when she was three years old after her real parents were murdered. She was wounded too, a gunshot to the neck. Surgeons had stitched up the traumatized little girl, with the bullet still there. Now, Caroline has to find the truth of her past.
As winter deepens in snowbound Pollard, Illinois, thirty-something Francis Falbo is holed up in his attic apartment, recovering from a series of traumas. Other than the agoraphobia that continues to hold him hostage, all he has left is his childhood home, the remaining rooms of which he rents to a cast of eccentric tenants. The tight-knit community has already survived a blizzard, but there is more danger in store for the citizens of Pollard before summer arrives.
Malin has always been different, and when her father dies, leaving her alone, her choice is clear: stay and remain an outsider forever, or leave in search of the mythical inheritance she is certain awaits her. Apprenticed to a series of strange and wonderful characters, Malin embarks on a grueling journey that crosses oceans and continents --- from the high seas to desert plains --- and leads to a discovery that she never could have expected.
After Henry's girlfriend, Val, leaves him and transfers to another school, his grief begins to manifest itself in bizarre and horrifying ways. After weeks of sleepless nights and sick delusions, Henry decides to run away and find Val. Once on the George Washington Bridge, however, a powerful hallucination knocks him out cold. When he awakens, he finds out that he has been kidnapped by two strangers who claim to be future versions of himself.
A gentle visionary coming of age in the shadow of the shipyards of northern England, Dominic Hall is torn between extremes. On the one hand, he craves the freedom he feels when he steals away with the eccentric girl artist next door, Holly Stroud --- his first and abiding love --- to balance above the earth on a makeshift tightrope. With Holly, Dom dreams of a life different in every way from his shipbuilder dad's. On the other hand, he finds himself irresistibly drawn to the brutal charms of Vincent McAlinden, a complex bully who awakens something wild and reckless and killing in Dom.
Since her brother, Tyler, committed suicide, Lex has been trying to keep her grief locked away and to forget about what happened that night. But as she starts putting her life, her family and her friendships back together, Lex is haunted by a secret she hasn't told anyone --- a text Tyler sent that could have changed everything.
If habits are a key to change, then what we really need to know is: How do we change our habits? BETTER THAN BEFORE answers that question. It presents a practical, concrete framework to allow readers to understand their habits --- and to change them for good. Infused with Gretchen Rubin's compelling voice, rigorous research and easy humor, and packed with vivid stories of lives transformed, the book explains the (sometimes counter-intuitive) core principles of habit formation.
Ali Reynolds' longtime friend and Taser-carrying nun, Sister Anselm, rushes to the bedside of a young pregnant woman hospitalized for severe injuries after she was hit by a car on a deserted Arizona highway. The girl had been running away from The Family, a polygamous cult with no patience for those who try to leave its ranks. Something about her strikes a chord in Sister Anselm, reminding her of a case she worked years before when another young girl wasn't so lucky.
Darlene, once an exemplary wife and a loving mother to her young son, Eddie, finds herself devastated by the unforeseen death of her husband. Unable to cope with her grief, she turns to drugs and quickly forms an addiction. One day she disappears without a trace. Unbeknownst to 11-year-old Eddie, now left behind in a panic-stricken search for her, Darlene has been lured away with false promises of a good job and a rosy life. A shady company named Delicious Foods shuttles her to a remote farm, where she is held captive.
Simon Connolly's son, Jake, is the only child missing following a shooting at school. As his worst nightmare unfolds, Simon begins to obsess over the past while searching for answers, for hope, for the memory of the boy he raised, for mistakes he must have made, for the reason everything came to this. Where is Jake? What happened in those final moments? Is it possible he doesn't really know his son? Or he knows him better than he thought?
A sheriff's deputy steps out of a diner on a rainy summer evening, and a few minutes later, he's lying dead in the mud. When BCA agent Kirk Stevens arrives on the scene, he discovers that local authorities have taken into custody a single suspect: a hysterical young woman found sitting by the body, holding the deputy's own gun. The mystery only deepens from there, as Stevens and Carla Windermere find themselves on the trail of a massive international kidnapping and prostitution operation.

Former Minister Dharmana Prasada Rao and two MLAs T. Vijay Kumar and Juttu Jagannaikulu on Sunday joined the YSR Congress in the presence of its president Y.S. Jaganmohan Reddy at a public meeting at Srikakulam municipal grounds.
In another development, Mines and Geology Minister Galla Aruna Kumari and Congress MLA of Puthalpattu P. Ravi shared the dais with Telugu Desam president N. Chandrababu Naidu at a public meeting addressed by him at Bangarupalem town, 20 km from Chittoor.
It triggered speculation that both of them might join the TDP.
The twin developments were a big blow to the Congress as both Mr. Prasada Rao and Ms. Aruna Kumari were seasoned campaigners for the party in their respective districts.
Mr. Rao who resigned as Roads and Buildings Minister after the Central Bureau of Investigation made him an accused in the disproportionate assets case against Jagan, dropped indications recently that he might join the YSR Congress. But, Ms. Aruna Kumari sprang a surprise by showing up at Mr. Naidu's meeting though her son Jayadev was an aspirant for the Lok Sabha ticket of TDP from Guntur.Naidu unveils statue of former Congress MP
Interestingly, Mr. Naidu himself whipped up another surprise by unveiling the statue of a former Congress MP from Chittoor, N.P. Changalraya Naidu, where Ms. Aruna Kumari was present. The function was organised by the family members of Changalraya Naidu. It was stated that Ms. Aruna Kumari was not keen on retaining her Chandragiri Assembly seat if Mr. Jayadev contested from Guntur.
It was Ms. Aruna Kumari's father P. Rajagopal Naidu who played a big role in Mr. Chandrababu Naidu getting a break in politics when he won from Chandragiri in 1978.
At the public meeting addressed by Y.S. Jaganmohan Reddy in Srikakulam, Mr. Prasada Rao announced that he had faxed his resignation letter to All India Congress Committee president Sonia Gandhi explaining the reasons for his decision.Two MLAs join YSRC
The Visakhapatnam (North) MLA T. Vijay Kumar and Palasa MLA J. Jagannaikulu also joined YSR Congress on the occasion. Their exit from Congress was in air for sometime.
The YSR Congress issued a press release in Hyderabad stating that N.T. Rama Rao's widow Lakshmi Parvathi also joined the party at the same meeting but it was not confirmed as she was said to be reluctant when Mr. Jaganmohan Reddy tried to offer her the khandwa.

DEFINITION of 'Stock Replacement Strategy'
An investment strategy that attempts to mimic the returns of a certain asset or group of assets by using a combination of different derivatives rather than buying the individual shares in the market. Traders will attempt to profit from the leverage found in options and futures because they can provide the same type of exposure to the underlying asset for a lower cost than if the trader were to buy the underlying assets outright.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Stock Replacement Strategy'
An example of a stock replacement strategy would be to buy deep in-the-money options. The reason many traders use this strategy is because the delta of deep in-the-money options is close to 1, which means that the option will increase by $1 for every favorable $1 move in the underlying security. Buying in-the-money options allows a trader to have the same type of exposure to a stock for a lower cost than having to buy the shares. However, keep in mind that incorporating leverage creates a new set of risks, so it is a good idea to contact your financial advisor before incorporating a stock replacement strategy into your investment portfolio.

Her leather cap is an affordable ode to Hermès's Collier de Chien style.
Hot! I wouldn't necessarily wear it to the club, but I'm not as popular as Ms. Fenty.
If you're feeling her hat, you can snag it at OATW's Big Cartel shop. Get the rest of her look here:

Final Score: Boston 3, Tampa Bay 2
Boston, MA (Sports Network) - Brad Marchand scored the game-winner with 2:16 left to play to give the Boston Bruins a 3-2 victory over the Tampa Bay Lightning on Saturday.
Tyler Seguin and Rich Peverley also scored, while Anton Khudobin stopped 20 shots for the Bruins, who are on a six-game winning streak.
"Our guys that haven't scored much are starting to come around," said Peverley. "Hopefully this will lead to them getting more."
Steven Stamkos and Alexander Killorn each lit the lamp for the Lightning, who have dropped their past four games. Mathieu Garon posted 24 saves in the loss.
Boston had rallied from a two-goal deficit to tie it in the second period then went ahead on the power play after a high-sticking double-minor to Brendan Mikkelson.
After Stamkos had missed the net on a shot at the other end, the puck came all the way out and Patrice Bergeron picked it up for a 2-on-1 the other way. From the right circle, Bergeron slipped it over to the left where Marchand fired home a wrister for a 3-2 lead.
Tampa got Garon out of the net for an extra attacker late in the game, but was unable to net the equalizer.
The first goal of the game went to the Lightning on the power play when Teddy Purcell sent a pass from the left circle to the low left side where Stamkos one-timed it in at the 5:32 mark of the first.
A little over three minutes later, Tampa made it a 2-0 game as Purcell sent a short pass from the slot over to his left and Killorn got to the net before slipping in a backhand for another power-play goal.
Boston made it a 2-1 game at the 3:22 mark of the second with a power-play goal of its own. David Krejci sent a pass from the right circle to the high slot where Dougie Hamilton one-touched it over to the left circle for a one- timer by Seguin.
The Bruins then tied the game just 1:17 later after Adam McQuaid's pass from the right point over to the left circle saw Peverley one-time it home for his third of the season.
Game Notes
Boston hosts Montreal on Sunday ... Tampa Bay plays at Pittsburgh on Monday ... Boston has taken both meetings with Tampa Bay this season ... Boston was 2-for-5 on the power play, while Tampa went 2-for-8.

|Giants, Lopez agree on $13 million, 3-year deal
|Written by Admin
|Thursday, 21 November 2013 11:32
The deal is pending a physical, likely to take place next week, assistant general manager Bobby Evans said Thursday.
The 36-year-old Lopez went 4-2 with a 1.83 ERA in 69 appearances and 39 1-3 innings this year, when the Giants missed the playoffs one season after winning their second World Series in three seasons.
San Francisco acquired Lopez at the 2010 trade deadline from Pittsburgh for John Bowker and Joe Martinez, and Lopez emerged as a reliable option for manager Bruce Bochy as the club made an improbable run to the city's first World Series championship since moving West in 1958.

Discussion in 'Disney Rumors and News' started by Rumors Rocks, Apr 3, 2013.
$1500 a week?
Wow...I though I hated buses...
YOU must really hate buses
Log in or Sign up to hide this advert.
Here here...Disney has never stated any desire to become a registered charity
Depends what your time is worth. We saved over 100 hours on a trip, that's $15 an hour. And you still have all "deluxe" factors to add yet. Bigger beds, better pools and slides, dining, room service etc.
We did 5 days at BLT mostly MK and 5 BW mostly EPCOT and DHS. Only did one morning at AK.
We consider bus travel to the parks a waste of time, or at least we would rather not have to do. Instead use the time to sleep, drink, swim, sun bathe, dine etc.
For 5 of us the locations saved us 30 minutes each way, or 150 minutes each way (5). At going to the park, returning for lunch/swim/rest, then back to the park, and back after a night show, is 4 trips per day minimum, or 600 minutes per day. At 10 days that's 6,000 minutes or 100 hours.
For our 1 week a year, yes its more than worth it, so the money is not the reason-it's the time, and accommodations/amenities.
Since when are people who are PAYING to stay at a value or a moderate receiving any kind of "charity". The elitist attitude is vulgar.
You're right...I shouldn't have used "charity"... That wasn't the right context to use it in.
I was commenting that Disney's goal is maximum profit...and always has been. The antithesis of a profit business would be a charity.
The comment that started this was about the "haves and have nots"
Disney has never cared publically or privately about "have nots". Never once.
I wasn't referring to any particular travelers at wdw...but see it was a bad choice of metaphor and apologize. My bad
Wow I came on here to see some pics this topic is a life of its own now!
I mistook your intent. Though I feel like I have read the intent that I mistook in other posts on the board. I would hate to think people in the deluxe resorts are looking too far down their nose at folks in the moderates or the value resorts.
While I stay at the moderates and look at the values thinking "I'd prefer not to stay there", I'm thrilled that people can. (Of course, I'm kinda curious about Art of Animation).
I would like to think that as many folks can enjoy Disney as possible. I know that I'm luckier than most to have enjoyed the resort as much as I have. I'm not saying that visiting Disney makes you a better person - but the joy/happy that they are selling certainly can't hurt.
Also - I could probably "save up" and do Deluxe instead, but I have yet to see the value versus cost.
And this is basically what i was agreeing with/commenting about.
I too...like the vast majority of people on the street and most people on the boards...would like to think the same.
But it has never been that way and never will be. Back in the early days of disneyland...it was simply a matter of distance. If you wanted to take the kids and drive hours or days to get there - then you could do it. Perhaps the early days in florida too...but over the last 20-30 years is has been forever altered to be an "Exclusive" location based on costs. There are tiers within that...but that doesn't change that nobody "poor" goes to WDW...never did, never will. Disposable income comes with a certain social rung...and vacations are nothing if 100% disposable income. (there are some exceptions like make a wish...but the majority of travel is personal economics and choice)
They would charge $300 a night for caribbean if they could (they're not that far off)...and would charge $900 if they could for polynesian (they're not that far off).
And they'd charge $100 a day for some type of "exclusive" fast pass system if they could.
No questions...wouldn't hesitate.
And if there was some type of public backlash (never witnessed in Florida)...they would justify it as "in keeping with competitors" or "necessary to maintain our world renowned quality and family entertainment"
which is paradoxical...because if anything the quality has probably slipped on the whole as the prices increased over recent years.
all news and rumors threads end up being like this...there is never that much going on so we have to beat the horse a little
Me to, but truth be told-it's only so big. I mean look around when your there-its pretty much wall to wall now. Just think if they built 100 more resorts at $59 a night? I think some on here would finally praise Disney for this, but it would certainly ruin the place.
They would need a ton more park space. Of course the parks are made to drive the resorts, not the other way around. I'm certainly OK with there being a price to pay to go to Disney. It is not an inexpensive vacation even at the moderate level (probably not even at the "value level").
My initial distress has a lot to do with negativity around free dining and other promos that Disney runs. I did free dining last year for 8 days, and it was still nearly a $3000 vacation for two people. Not exactly an entitlement or a handout - just careful shopping and planning. I like to think of everyone when they get to the park as one big happy family. I try to be nice and smile to people I don't know because that's the way I like to be treated when I'm there. I don't worry whether they are coming from Grand Floridian or Pop Century or Days Inn.
Not gonna be able to go with you on this one...
Wdw doesn't NOT have an overcrowding problem.
It doesn't have a hotel room shortage problem and the parks are nowhere near overcrowded.
On certain days...perhaps...but on the whole not even close.
It has been this way since animal kingdom and the west side were built...I not before.
Don't be tricked Into thinking that since the line for soarin and midway mania are 90 minutes...that there is a crowding issue.
Good points, we do travel busy weeks (but good Lord think of those weeks) and also the headliners are much longer, but 100 new "Low Value" resorts would still ruin it IMO. I even think just dropping the prices in 1/2 on the current resorts would.
My point really is to address the "wish everyone that wanted could go" issue by making it affordable. There just isn't room for that.
Yep agreed. Its actually "No Additional Charge" Dining.
But your right-even the lowest end packages are expensive for most folks, so that limits a lot to once in a lifetime, some rarely, and some never-unfortunately.
Also agree with the Mod or Deluxe assessment. How would anyone have a clue what resort a park guest is going back to? Even if they have addition FP+-no way to know. Makes no sense at all.
~Bizarre. So far, you've been labeled as an "elitist" and a "left wing socialist" in one day. Is this even possible? Again, it was extremely nice of you to apologize but I was not offended in the least -- I just didn't read it that way. We all perceive things differently, so any poster is well within their right to be "offended." Generally speaking, some posts "appear" to have an inferiority complex or something. If someone likes free dining and the values, that's their business -- there is no need to "justify" or "explain" -- and, there is absolutely no reason to feel judged or "looked down" upon.
Well said and I think alot of people here feel the same way
My problem with this is with the way Disney is going with their Fastpass and expanding upon it is FP+, is there is no way they could realistically do this successfully without completely destroying things for a huge group of people.
Universal has only a small fraction of the hotel rooms that Disney has.... and it's been confirmed that the Express Pass benefit is not being extended to their new Value/Moderate hotel. With the small number of rooms and potential guests, it's quite easy for Universal to support the Express benefit exclusively for onsite "deluxe" guest's without a huge negative impact to the rest of their guests.
Disney on the other hand has a HUGE number of hotel rooms and potential guests. There is no way they could support a system similar to the Universal Express without completely destroying the benefit. I could see Disney being able to support something if they limited it to JUST the Deluxe guests.... but then they'd end up alienating all the DVC owners [who can't get it because with DVC capacity, you start getting into the territory of overloading the system], all the non-Deluxe guests, and EVERYONE who is offsite..... including the Locals... and potentially AP holders... who are already feeling like they are getting screwed by the new FP+ system w/ it's reservation requirements.
Already the existing Fastpass System is walking a fine line between the FP benefit and the adverse impact to the Standby lines. With FP+ Disney is really pushing it's luck to try and "improve" the system, but there are already reports of the standby impact getting even worse.... to the point of almost being unbearable. If Disney then tries to flood the FP system with even MORE FP users in an attempt to match the Universal express benefit, you have the potential to completely break the standby lines beyond any hope of redemption.
With Disney's massive attempts to get people to spend more time in the shops, I'm highly wary of any major attempts to further expand the FP system to increase the capacity/benefit for onsite guests. They simply have too many hotel rooms onsite and have started engineering the parks towards FP too much for me to see any hope for locals, AP holders, and offsite guests to not end up almost having a steerage level experience in the parks if they end up doing that. (And since everyone is paying the same cost-per-day to enter the parks, I feel that within the parks everyone should have the same [or nearly the same] opportunity to get their money's worth out of the experience. If you up FP capacity to the point that only 100 guests per hour get to expereience the attraction from the standby.... and then reserve FPs for people staying onsite, Then the non onsite guests are no longer getting the same opportunities within the park.)
to Rumors and News!
I often tip toe the line between Trotsky and Franco
Hey, I've stayed at each of those hotels (Days Inn '79, GF 2000, Pop '08) so I get THREE smiles!
Me too. I love Wilderness Lodge, the Polynesian, and the Contemporary but my stays at them in the past will seldom be repeated due to the costs vs. the lower cost of the beautiful Port Orleans Riverside/Dixie Landings (I love POR, and in my opinion the grounds at POR are the most beautiful of any resort hotel on Disney property). Well, the Wilderness Lodge standard rooms are a good value when discounts are available, but since my youngest turned 3 we can't stay at WL with a family of 5.
Man, so that Mine Train is really progressing with it's concrete pour, eh?

Scientific Forecaster Discussion
Area forecast discussion
National Weather Service Cheyenne Wyoming
541 am MDT Wednesday Apr 1 2015
Short term...(today and through Friday night)
issued at 330 am MDT Wednesday Apr 1 2015
After a prolonged stretch of mild weather...changes will begin to
occur today. A cold front will quickly move across the forecast
area in association with a shortwave moving east through the
northern rockies. Of course cooler temperatures will follow with
high temperatures in the 50s and 60s today. A few rain showers are
possible today but a vast majority of the area will not see
measurable rain. The best chances will be near the Interstate 80
corridor this afternoon...but the models have trended drier and
farther south with precipitation for today.
A second cold front will move across the area Thursday while at
the same time a southern stream shortwave will move from Utah
into southern Colorado. It continues to look like southern
portions of the forecast area will see precipitation develop after
sunrise Thursday as upslope low level flow combines with difluent
flow aloft ahead of the shortwave. The most persistent and
strongest upper level forcing continues to be depicted south of
the forecast area into Colorado by both the GFS and European model (ecmwf). At this
time not too excited about the potential for snow accumulations
Thursday into Thursday night. Based on current timing...most
precipitation will fall late Thursday morning through Thursday
afternoon. Where it is cold enough for snow...accumulations will
be significantly reduced as surface temperatures will generally
remain above freezing and the relatively high sun angle will
continue to warm the surface causing more melting. Therefore
impacts on travel will be minimal through Thursday afternoon. As
the sun sets Thursday evening and temperatures dip below
freezing...light snow accumulations will remain possible with some
roads in the Cheyenne to Laramie areas could become
Precipitation will taper off Thursday night into Friday with high
pressure pushing into the area. Temperatures will fall into the
teens and 20s Thursday night. Dry conditions are expected across
the area by Friday afternoon along with moderating temperatures.
Clear skies...light winds and cooler temperatures will prevail
Saturday night as a upper ridge shifts into The Rockies.
Long term...(saturday through tuesday)
issued at 230 am MDT Wednesday Apr 1 2015
Warm and dry conditions are likely through the weekend with models
in good agreement with broad upper-level ridging. Deep mixing along
with strong flow aloft will promote gusty winds each afternoon.
Best low level gradients are prognosticated to be along and west of the
Laramie range through Sunday. GFS BUFKIT soundings show 50 knots
winds at 500 mb over rwl at 21z sun with nearly dry adiabatic lapse
rates extending above and beyond that level. The GFS would be
favorable for a warning criteria event out west with excellent
subsidence beneath coupled upper level jet streaks. The European model (ecmwf)
shows considerably weaker low level flow...so not comfortable going too
far above guidance just yet. Fire weather will be an issue this
weekend with a pattern like this. GFS/European model (ecmwf) quickly diverge into
early next week with a deep upper trough digging into the western
Continental U.S.. the GFS pushes an energetic lead shortwave east into the
central rockies on Monday...while the European model (ecmwf) keeps most of the middle
level energy to the west over northern California. Did not make many
changes to the inherited forecast with this uncertainty. The
overall trend through early next week should be toward cooler and
wetter as the aforementioned trough advances eastward.
Aviation...(for the 12z tafs through 12z Thursday morning)
issued at 535 am MDT Wednesday Apr 1 2015
VFR. Gusty winds will develop across much of southeast Wyoming and the
western NE Panhandle this afternoon. Winds should diminish after
sunset. Look for lowering ceilings overnight with cloud bases between
5-10k feet above ground level.
Fire weather...
issued at 230 am MDT Wednesday Apr 1 2015
No fire weather concerns the next several days with cooler
temperatures in place across the region. Wetting precipitation is
likely near the Interstate 80 corridor Thursday but farther
north chances for precipitation are minimal...such as across east
central Wyoming and the northern Nebraska Panhandle.
Cys watches/warnings/advisories...
Short term...small
long term...clh

Snow Blower Impeller
The impeller on my snow blower wont engage when I pull the lever. The drive pulley spins but the belt doesn't move. All the shear pins have been checked and rechecked. I replaced the belt and still nothing. There is nothing blocking my impeller from moving. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Not sure I understand how the drive pulley spins but the belt doesn't. Spins by hand? Is the idler pulley going in far enough to tension the belt? Is there a set screw loose on the shaft that turns the impeller?
Not enough information to go on.
Thanks for the reply.
The Drive Pulley spins when the machine is running however when I engage the auger system from the handle area the belt doesn't move at all or it moves for a quick second and than stop. I am not sure about the idler pulley or set screw situation. How do i check for that?
The drive pulley is closest to the engine. Usually they are always under tension by an idler pulley. The next pulley outbound is for the auger. It should not spin unless the handlebar control is engaged/pressed down. With the motor off, operate the hand control and watch for the idler pulley to move inward and push the belt inward. The tension causes the belt to spin.
If the belt spins with the pulley, your problem is either in the shaft that goes forward to the auger differential or in some cases, the set screw that holds the shaft to a pipe collar is loose or a drive pin is broken. If the idler pulley doesn't cause enough tension on the auger belt, it can be adjusted along the cable length, or in some cases, the idler pulley can be moved. This would be seen at the carriage bolt that goes through the idler pulley. If you loosen it, you can move it back and forth in a slot. It's self-evident which system you have.
If the belt and auger pulley are turning and the augers aren't, you could also have a stripped gear inside the differential up front in the center.
Shown are a typical set screw arrangement. You may or may not have them. They are on the engine side of the front end.
The idler pulley (black) presses the belt and forces the auger pulley to turn. It is the outermost pulley and controlled by a cable from the handlebars. The one closer to the engine is for the wheel drive and is auto-tensioned.
Hey everyone thanks for all the help. Through a more complete investigation I discovered that the impeller is slightly bent and is rubbing on the housing. Do I have to completely remove the front auger and gear drive to get the impeller out? Or is there a more simple way to do that?
Your bearing might be encased between two round covers and held by 3 bolts. Remove the bolts after you've removed the front end.
On mine, I removed the bolts that hold the bushings on the left and right side of the auger housing.
Place the auger housing face down and support it so the auger is a few inches off the ground, but the housing is in contact with something solid.
Using a brass drift and hammer moderately hit the shaft and get the pulley off. Then you'll easily figure out a way to get the bearing off.
I got it off with a bearing puller. ($20.00)Than I had to heat and bang with a hammer the bent spots on the impeller, I also used my bench grinder to further ensure it fit. I had the impeller and bearing out at least 4 different times as the impeller needed minor tweaking so it no longer got hung up on the housing. Well it's back together and works great. It's perfect timing since we got 8 inches of snow last night and another 15 inches today. Anyway thanks for all the help.

What's your take? Personally, the tutorial got me totally excited what with all the moves you can pull off. But actual gameplay was a bit of a let down. Oh well, $8.99 isn't that bad a price when I'm already a huge GitS:SAC fan.
Has anyone played this? And if so...

I didn't even know there was a game for this.
"I didn't even know there was a game for this."Yeah. There's three Ghost in the Shell games actually. The first was on the PS1 and based loosely off of the manga/first movie. The second this PS2 game based off of the TV series and the third a PSP title also based off of the TV series.
No, not impossible. Just a little bland, I thought. Kinda "go here, do that, repeat."
So while we're on the topic. Which season of the show do you all prefer? Personally I enjoyed 1 much better, but 2 had some excellent scenes in it as well.
I'm excited that Spielburg has picked up the film rights for this, but as usual, I'll be let down again when they Americanize it and don't set it in Tokyo or make the people Japanese. haha

Bought this fairly cheap yesterday. Enjoying it so far, with some caveats. It's nice with enemies that go down fairly quickly, and the plot seems cool. Hate Batou's ponytail
