Erik Karlsson's big year leading Senators
By: Adam Gretz
Pucks and Numbers: a weekly statistical look at what's happening around the NHL. This week: A look at offensive production of Ottawa Senators defenseman Erik Karlsson
With less than two months to play in the regular season the Ottawa Senators find themselves in a position that probably not even the most optimistic of their fans expected them to be when the season began back in October.
As of Tuesday afternoon, and following their 6-0 win over the New York Islanders on Monday, the Senators are in the seventh spot in the Eastern Conference with a six-point lead over the first non-playoff team. The playoffs look to be a very real possibility --if not likely at this point -- for a team that was projected by most to be one of the worst teams in the league over the summer.
It's a pretty good position to be in, and one of the driving forces behind their success has been the play of third-year defenseman Erik Karlsson, their first-round pick from the 2008 draft.
After a dominant two-goal, four-point performance on Monday afternoon against the Islanders, Karlsson currently sits atop the NHL leaderboard for scoring among defenseman with 57 points. That's 17 points more than the second-leading scorer, Florida's Brian Campbell. To look at it another way, the gap between Karlsson and Campbell from first to second is as big as the gap between Campbell and Florida's Jason Garrison, who is currently 38th in scoring among defenseman (23 points). And that's pretty amazing.
On his current pace of nearly a point-per-game, Karlsson would finish the regular season with 76 points, which is probably about as good as you can expect in the NHL these days from a defenseman. It's going to take him just 13 points over his final 21 games ( or an average .61 points per game, which is well below his current pace of .96 points per game for the season) to reach the 70-point mark, which would make him just the fifth different defenseman to reach that level over the past 14 seasons.
Nicklas Lidstrom did it four times over that stretch. Mike Green did it twice. Sergei Zubov and Brian Leetch each did it once.
His performance this season is starting to attach his name to the Norris Trophy discussion (as Sportsnet's Ian Mendes and Justin Bourne of the Score both argued on Tuesday), which is sure to have it's share of detractors.
Think back to when Green, the Capitals super-skilled and extremely productive defenseman, was a finalist for the Norris in back-to-back years during the '08-09 and '09-10 seasons with offensive seasons that were near mirror images of what Karlsson is currently doing for Ottawa. It was always polarizing because his shortcomings defensively were always pointed out and magnified, along with some variation of the comment, "well, he's basically a fourth-forward when he's on the ice." Or something along those lines.
Keep in mind, though, that the Norris Trophy doesn't (or isn't supposed to) go to the best "defensive defenseman." It's supposed to go to the player that demonstrates "the best all-around ability in the position."
That, of course, includes offensive ability, and that's something that Karlsson clearly has, and at a very young age. And it's not like he's a poor defensive player at this point in his career, either.
Karlsson is already logging a team-high 25 minutes of ice-time per game for the Senators, nearly two full minutes more than the second defenseman, and when he is on the ice the Senators tend to have the upper hand when it comes to possession and keeping the puck in the offensive zone. Among defensemen that have played at least 50 games this season (or players that we would consider for the Norris Trophy) Karlsson currently has the best Relative Corsi rating in the NHL 13.8. Corsi, if you're not familiar with it, is simply the total shot-differential at even-strength (goals, saves, missed shots, blocked shots) when a player is on the ice, which gives a pretty good indication of which players and teams are controlling possession of the puck the most. And that's pretty valuable, because the best way to keep the other team from scoring is to keep them pinned in their own zone, and Karlsson has been as good at that as any other defenseman in the league this year.
Now, Karlsson does have a bit of an advantage over some of the players he's ahead of that are also legitimate Norris candidates, if not favorites, (such as Nashville' Shea Weber and Boston's Zdeno Chara).
The Senators do protect him a bit defensively by not asking him to start many shifts in his own zone (his offensive zone-start percentage is currently over 56 percent). He also isn't asked to kill penalties all that much, and spends a great deal of time on the power play. But even if you look at just his even-strength points (35) he's still crushing the rest of the defensemen in the league in scoring (the No. 2 defenseman in even-strength scoring is Kevin Bieksa, with 25 points).
No matter how you look at it, he's having an incredible season and has clearly been Ottawa's best defenseman, if not its best overall player, and is one of the biggest reasons the team has exceeded almost every expectation.
I don't know if that's enough to get him serious Norris consideration at this point as the names Chara, Weber and Lidstrom still carry enough clout (and are pretty darn good players as well) to make it difficult for him to crack the top-three.
That doesn't mean he isn't deserving.

Predators extend GM Poile, assistant GM Fenton
By: Adam Gretz
When it comes to getting the most bang for the buck there are few front offices in the NHL better than the Nashville Predators, led by general manager David Poile and his assistant, Paul Fenton.
On Monday, the Predators announced that both men have had their contracts with the club extended, with Poile's deal running through the 2014-15 season.
"Today's announcement is further recognition by the Predators' ownership group of the outstanding job David has done as President of Hockey Operations since the franchise's inception," said Predators chairman Tom Cigarran in a statement releasead by the team. "The consistent success of the Predators on the ice is directly attributed to his ability to assemble and lead a team of management, coaches, scouts and administrators who continually identify, draft, develop and motive an exceptional group of experienced and young players. The ownership group believes that under his leadership, the Nashville Predators will soon achieve its goal of winning the Stanley Cup."
Stability has been a pretty big thing in the Nashville organization as Poile is the only general manager the team has had since it entered the league back in 1998. Along with having only one head coach -- Barry Trotz -- there has been a lot of consistency in Nashville over the past decade-and-a-half.
Despite not having the financial resources of some other teams across the league, the Predators have been a playoff team in six of the past seven seasons, and are currently one of the top teams in the NHL this season with 74 points as of Monday, a total that is more than all but four teams.
The Predators have been built primarily through the draft and their lineup is loaded with home-grown players up and down the roster.
Poile might have one of the toughest jobs in the NHL over the next two years as he figures out how to handle his two best players, defensemen Ryan Suter and Shea Weber. Suter is scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent after this season, while Weber will be eligible for that following next season.

Red Wings waive Conklin, keep MacDonald
By: Adam Gretz
For much of the season the Red Wings backup goalie position appeared to be a major area of weakness, as veteran Ty Conklin struggled when given starts in place of Jimmy Howard, resulting in Howard having to carry almost all of the load in net.
With Howard sidelined due to injury in recent weeks, the Red Wings were forced to bring up Joey MacDonald to fill out the roster, and when given an opporutnity to play, he did everything he could on the ice to convince Detroit management to keep him around when Howard returned. And that's exactly what's going to happen as the Red Wings placed Conklin on waivers on Monday afternoon, which means MacDonald will be sticking around as Howard's new backup.
The 32-year-old veteran, who has played for four teams in his NHL career, has appeared in eight games for the Red Wings this season and allowed just 13 goals on 196 shots for a .934 save percentage. He's been the man between the pipes in each of Detroit's past seven games, six of which they've won, with all of them coming on home ice to extend their NHL record home winning streak to 23 games (and still counting).
Conklin was just never able to find any sort of consistency for Detroit this season and was having one of the worst years of his career, posting a .878 save percentage in his 11 appearances. His last appearance for the Red Wings came on Feb. 4 against the Edmonton Oilers when he was lifted after giving up three goals on nine shots in the first period of what would be a 5-4 shootout loss.
MacDonald came into finish the game, his first appearance with the Red Wings this season. He's played every minute since.

Mattias Ohlund to have major knee surgery
By: Adam Gretz
Mattias Ohlund hasn't played a game for the Tampa Bay Lightning this season, and it's looking as if it's going to be quite a while before he suits up for them, or any team, again.
If he's ever able to.
The veteran defenseman is going to undergo major surgery on his left knee at the Cleveland Clinic on Thursday according to Damian Cristodero of the Tampa Bay Times, and it's a procedure that could be the final chance to save his career.
More from the Times on the surgery, and what exactly is going to happen:
The complicated procedure performed by noted orthopedist Anthony Miniaci will use a thin layer of titanium to resurface the bottom of the femur behind the kneecap. That should create a cushion where cartilage that usually covers the bone has flaked off to such an extent there is painful bone-on-bone rubbing at the patellofemoral joint.
The 35-year-old defenseman signed a seven-year, $25.2 million contract with the Lightning prior to the 2009-10 season, and it's a deal that still has four years remaining on it. In his first two years with Tampa Bay he didn't score a single goal in 139 games, and hasn't scored one since April 7, 2009, when he was still a member of the Vancouver Canucks. That's a lengthy stretch for a player that used to score around nine or 10 per season. He did record 18 assists in his first two years with the Lightning, and also took on a pretty heavy defensive role that usually saw him logging ice time in situations that required him to focus almost entirely on defense over offense.The Lightning have certainly missed him this season as they've been one of the worst defensive teams in the league, and Ohlund's absence has resulted in third-year rearguard Victor Hedman stepping into the big minutes that Ohlund had previously played.

Pavel Kubina traded to Flyers
By: Adam Gretz
For the second time in less than a week the Philadelphia Flyers made a move to add to their blue line.
On Saturday evening, just a few hours after their 6-4 loss to Pittsburgh, the Flyers completed a trade with the Tampa Bay Lightning by acquiring defenseman Pavel Kubina. The Lightning will receive a second and fourth round pick, as well as forward John Kalinski.
The deal was reportedly held up because Kubina would have given the Flyers 51 contracts. The NHL limit is 50, which may have led to the inclusion of Kalinski, a forward that had been playing for Adirondack Phantoms in the American Hocke League, scoring nine goals to go with three assists in 40 games.
It's been expected for a few days now that Kubina would be moved, and the Lightning, having now established themselves as sellers, were holding him out of the lineup until a trade could be completed.
In 52 games this season the 34-year-old Kubina has scored three goals to go with eight assists and has logged nearly 20 minutes of ice-time per game. He will be eligible for unrestricted free agency following this season.
Earlier in the week the Flyers made another move in an effort to solidify their defense, acquiring Nicklas Grossman from the Dallas Stars in exchange for two draft picks. Philadelphia has apparently been one of the busiest teams in the NHL as we approach the Feb. 27 deadline and have been the team most commonly referenced in Rick Nash trade rumors. Helping to fuel that fire was the word that Blue Jackets general manager Scott Howson and Flyers general manager Paul Holmgren were speaking to one another in Philadelphia on Saturday afternoon.
Given that the Flyers are currently the highest scoring team in the league and are once again struggling to keep pucks out of their own net, a very common problem in recent years, defense should seemingly be a much higher priority than adding another goal-scoring forward.
For the Lightning, it's also their second deal of the week as they also traded center Dominic Moore to the San Jose Sharks for a second-round pick.
After their 2-1 win over the Washington Capitals on Saturday night, the Lightning have a 26-26-6 record, which has them in the 11th spot in the Eastern Conference with 58 points, six points behind the Toronto Maple Leafs for what would be the eighth playoff spot.

Derek Dorsett vs. John Scott is not a fair fight
By: Adam Gretz
Derek Dorsett of the Columbus Blue Jackets is no stranger to fights.
According to his player page at hockeyfights.com he had been involved in 14 during the 2011-12 season, one of the league leaders in that category, and had found himself in 50 regular season fights in his entire NHL career entering his game on Saturday afternoon. So he kind of knows what he's doing when he decides to drop the gloves, and it's not much of a surprise that he did so in the third period of a game his team ended up losing 6-1 to the Chicago Blackhawks.
Choosing John Scott as his opponent probably wasn't one of the better decisions he's ever made on the ice because ... well, we'll just let the video speak for itself. Particularly the shot at the 53-second mark that shows what is an obvious disparity in size.
The Blue Jackets list Dorsett as being 6-feet, 198 pounds.
The Blackhawks list Scott as being 6-feet-8, 270 pounds.
Nothing else really needs to be said.

Watch: Matt Cooke's rare 3-on-5 goal
By: Adam Gretz
When the Penguins and Flyers get together you can be sure that it's going to be a ridiculous game. Saturday's 6-4 Pittsburgh win in Philadelphia was no exception. There were penalties, a questionable hit from behind by Jordan Staal, and Matt Cooke scoring a rare 3-on-5 shorthanded goal, the Penguins' second shorthanded goal of the game, with both coming on the same penalty kill.
Check out Cooke's goal, which gave the Penguins a 3-2 lead late in the second period.
How rare is a 3-on-5 goal? Consider that it was the first one in the NHL this season, and that since the start of the 2005-06 season there were only 10 such goals scored across the entire league before Cooke found the back of the net. If you go back as far as the 1997-98 season, there were only 20 shorthanded goals scored in those situations before Saturday.
Former Flyers forward Mike Richards has actually scored three of them, and is the NHL's all-time leader for 3-on-5 goals.
Cooke's goal, which resulted in Flyers goalie Ilya Bryzgalov being removed from the game for Sergei Bobrovsky, came just minutes after Staal scored a shorthanded goal of his own to tie the game at two. Staal was involved in another big player earlier in the game when he hit Flyers defenseman Braydon Coburn from behind into the boards, resulting in a two-minute minor for boarding. It could have (and probably should have) been more.
It's a play that resulted in a $2,500 fine from the NHL. He has a clean resume in the NHL and doesn't have a reputation as being a dirty player, which probably worked in his favor. Staal was penalized on the play, but the Flyers didn't get a power play as Kimmo Timonen was given an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty. It was simply that kind of day, and not one of the better officiated games you will see in the NHL this season.

The Kings need to find some offense
By: Adam Gretz
The Los Angeles Kings have one of the best goaltenders in the NHL this season, and a pretty solid defense anchored by young star Drew Doughty.
Unfortunately, they're running the risk of letting it all go to waste with what has been one of the worst goal-scoring teams the NHL has seen over the past 14 years.
Entering Saturday's game against Calgary, the Kings are clinging to the No. 8 playoff spot in the Western Conference, just two points ahead of the Flames team they're hosting. If not for the stellar play of Jonathan Quick it's worth wondering if this team would even be in playoff contention right now.
Quick, who is currently third in the NHL in goals against average and save percentage, has been the very definition of a hard luck loser. He has had 10 games this season where he's allowed two goals or fewer and still come away with a loss, whether it be in regulation or in overtime/shootout.
That includes Thursday's 1-0 loss to the Phoenix Coyotes, the third time in the past month-and-a-half he's been on the wrong side of a 1-0 decision. There is only so much he can do.
As of Saturday morning, the Kings are averaging just 2.07 goals per game, by far the worst total in the NHL. And this is a team that has had the 6th most power play opportunities in the NHL. Granted, it's not exactly been a great power play (23rd in the league), but they've had more chances on the man advantage than most teams. Outside of that, there is almost no 5-on-5 scoring to speak of with a league-worst 76 goals during 5-on-5 situations this season. The second-worst team, the Minnesota Wild, has 84.
But how does this season stack up against recent goal-scoring shortages? Since the start of the 1997-98 season, only three teams have finished a full season averaging fewer goals per game than '11-12 Kings are currently averaging: The 2000-01 Wild (2.05), 2001-02 Blue Jackets (2.00) and 1997-98 Tampa Bay Lightning (1.84). Keep in mind, that Wild team was in its first year of existence, while the Blue Jackets were in their second year of existence.
At their current pace, the Kings would finish the regular season with just 169 goals, a total that would actually fall nearly 50 goals short of what would be the league average. This is a big problem.
The last time the lowest-scoring team in the NHL actually qualified for the playoffs was the 1988-89 Vancouver Canucks after finishing with a 33-39-8 record to claim the fourth and final playoff spot in the Smythe Division. It's only happened three other times since the NHL expanded beyond the original six in 1967 -- the '86-87 Detroit Red Wings, the '70-71 Minnesota North Stars, and the '68-69 Philadelphia Flyers.
Feeling optimistic?
Great goaltending will only take you so far. In the end, you still need to score goals.

[LABYRINTHIUM] OOC discussion ~ Ignore Misleading Day 9 Title, Please
Oh. I'm supposed to make an item. How about a new weapon. Superb Unique Powerful Enchanted Relic Staff. The SUPER Staff (for short) provides an extra 5 damage to all spells as well as returning an additional 2 mana per turn to the wielder. That shouldn't be too op. Let me know if you want to change it. Also the name is in development.
So scratch the spells I posted earlier. I will try to think of some that I like. Also I updated my character sheet. The spell you gave me about summoning the golem thing. Does that take away one of the spells I get to make or is that a freebie?
How are these?
Passive ability ~ Improvised magic master ~ Improvised magic cannot fail or some such similar effect.
Passive ability ~ Hidden ~ Enemies will not target the mage until he is the only target.
Spell level 3 ~ Enlarge ~ Make target bigger increasing health and damage by x.
Spell level 4 ~ Channel Cold ~ The mage uses x mana to channel pure cold into the target dealing x damage per turn channeled. Example ~ Turn 1, 10 damage, 3 mana cost ~ Turn 2, 20 damage, 6 mana cost ~ Turn 3, 30 damage, 9 mana cost ~ Turn 4 enemy dies, full mana depletion.
Feel free to fix these.

[Always open][LABYRINTHIUM] Heroes - Day 9: Not Done Yet
After I kill the ghosts, things seem to quiet down a bit. They must have finished off the skeleton. "Nice work everyone! Thank you for finding assistance Little Woofy". I pet my spider before I continue. "My name is Woofy. It's a pleasure to meet you all. Also the aid in battle is much appreciated. Nice healing there at the end Ark". I then step aside and notice a hidden door. No doubt locked. I use my unlock spell and step through the newly opened door. I then examine the room and loot whatever I am supposed to loot.

I finally get a decent hit in on the skeleton, but now he appears to be surrounded. More people have joined in the battle and things seem slightly more chaotic. To be quite honest, I'm happy to have the help. "Welcome to the party everyone! I already took care of the heavy lifting so it should be a breeze now." With that said, I decide to focus on the ghosts. I can't even see the flaming skeleton at this point and he seemed to weaken a bit after that last attack on him. I channel 5 mana into improvised magic to blast the ghosts.

I wake up in a strange place. At first, I am not sure what is going on. I stand up and a few moments pass before I realize that I am in the middle of a battle. "Kane! Good to see you!". I pet my spider, Little Woofy and then focus my attention on the skeleton. For a brief moment, it appears that he is attempting to retreat. It doesn't take long before I see that he is trying to attack someone else who seems to have wandered in here. I begin casting Ice Missles (5 mana) on the flaming skeleton.

I got all 52 shiny Kongpanions. This made me happy. I wish you guys would have made a special Kongpanion for those of us who got them all though.
I begin to feel a little weak so I decide to meditate.
All is going well, and I can practically ignore the ghosts. Two of them strike me, and I don't even notice it when all of a sudden a third comes in. It hits me so hard I collapse to the ground. If I get hit one more time like that, it's over. It will most likely kill me. "How do I keep getting myself into these situations… Damn it!" The flaming skeleton keeps resisting my attacks, despite being weak to them. I'm not sure how he is doing it, but it's definitely not good. I decide to change my target now. Maybe if we take out the ghosts and only have one enemy to deal with, we won't die. I attempt to cast an improvised magic spell designed of pure magic using 5 mana to target multiple ghosts. "Hope this works." I also call for my spider to attempt to find someone to aid us in battle.

As we battle on, Ark goes down. He is hit hard by several foes, and he can no longer fight. Sadly, I have no ability to aid him at the current time. Hopefully we can take care of these enemies before we join him and none of us make it out of here alive. I cast my Ice Missle spell again using 5 mana. This time hoping that I can get a decent amount of damage onto the flaming skeleton.

The flaming skeleton seems to be quite powerful. I need to take him out as soon as possible. I cast Ice Missles on the flaming skeleton yet again, using 5 mana. If we keep going at this rate, were all going to die before I manage to kill this thing.

After killing the second rifleman, Ark asks me to handle the ghosts. "It would be quite difficult for me to take out the ghosts. Elemental damage won't hurt them. You have an attack that can take them out so you have a better chance than I do." With that said, I take a swig of my Barley Wine and cast Ice Missles (5 mana) on the flaming skeleton. "I'm aiming for the big guy now. It's time to cool him off a bit." I signal my spider to hunt for loot. I do not want him getting too close to this flaming skeleton.

(I did say Skeleton ally attacks flaming skeleton. Skeleton ally = the one I summoned. It's okay that you missed it. His damage is probably very small.)
The second rifleman survived my fireball. He must be stronger than the first one was. I also notice that the skeleton I revived ignored me completely. This is going well. I should probably communicate with my allies here. "Hey listen. The ghosts can only be hurt by Ki, Holy, and Pure magic. Elemental and physical attacks will not affect them. You two should try to take out the ghosts as soon as possible." With that said, I launch another fireball at the skeleton rifleman. I then signal for my spider to attack it as well. I command the skeleton, yet again, to attack the flaming skeleton. I consider casting clay armor on myself again, but it seems like it would be almost useless. These enemies are hitting hard.

I launch a fireball at a rifleman, and he explodes into bone fragments. I must be more powerful than I thought. Probably a good idea to take out the other one before he takes another shot at us. I focus on the second skeleton rifleman and begin casting a fireball. Hopefully I will have as much success with this attack as the one before. I signal for my spider to try to find some loot from the mezzanine and attack the rifleman if he survives my fireball. I also command the skeleton I recently revived to attack the flaming skeleton who just arose from his coffin.

As I attempt to plunder the skeleton, it bursts into flames. I back up a bit and all hell appears to break loose. Dathen enters the room and points to some enemies up on the mezzanine. Ark mentions ghosts. Then there is this flaming skeleton sitting in a coffin. "So. That just happened. Sorry guys." With that said, I cast Fireball on the skeleton rifleman. "Send them back to hell where they belong!"

After looting everything, I toss the Lunette to ark. "You would probably have more use for this than I would". I also put on the boots. They are quite comfortable. I also hand him 30 coins. "I found some coins too". After dealing with that, I call for Dathen, hoping he will show up. I may as well try to distribute the loot evenly. Upon his arrival, I hand him a Pickaxe and 30 coins. I then try to remove the skeletons hands to get his items from him. I use my hammer spell if needed. Once all is said and done, I use my unlock spell on the door in front of me to try to open it. If it fails, I use my hammer spell to force it open. "I'll tear this damn place apart if that's what it takes. Hulk Smash!"
Lunette + 36 coins to Ark. Pickaxe plus 36 coins to Dathen. Leather Boots + 36 coins to me. Then I try to take weapons from skeleton using magic if needed (Hammer). Then Unlock II on the door. Hammer it if Unlock fails.

With her lover, Marc Slatterly, she works in a small mining ship in deep space. Their well ordered life if suddenly thrown into chaos when one miner arrives with a load of Trimagnite, a highly toxic liquid ore. Enter the Lone Wolf. Wil VanLipsig, known as the Lone Wolf, arrives to take the Trigmagnite off their hands. Is it a coincidence for him to show up on Marc's ship years after Marc thought he'd killed Wil? Or is this the beginning of something far more insidious?
Beginning where Lone Wolf left off, Wil VanLipsig and Matilda Dulac continue their epic sci-fi adventure. John Riley is gone. He disappeared using an ancient transportation device. They hope he's dead, but can't count on it. He's far too dangerous.

Marvel comics writer & movie consultant Brian Michael Bendis has been talking about the latest Marvel movie project Guardians of the Galaxy and how it will be effected by the return of the Star Wars movies. Since both movies are predominantly set in space, some can see the two films becoming rivals over the years, which Michael has been discussing.
Bendis told SFX Magazine, "We first started talking about doing this years ago when it looked like there weren't going to be any more Star Wars films. It just shows that there must be something in the air. It's one of those zeigeiest moments when everyone is thinking about the same thing. Marvel is thinking about how to make their space epic work & here comes the greatest space epic ever & from the same company. It'll be fun!"
He added, "There's a lot of brainpower here, so it was like 'let's put them to work. That's why we've such a strong hit ratio and it's why we're light years ahead of where Warner Bros. is right now. They should do the same thing with Geoff Johns and their other guys. They might be in better shape if they did that. Fox have hired Mark Millar to do the same thing for them on X-Men and Fantastic Four. It works, so that's exactly what you should do."
Marvel are hoping to released Guardians of the Galaxy on August 1, 2014, while its parent company Disney are hoping to release Star Wars: Episode VII in 2015.

We were given the Parlor Room (103) which was perfect since we both had work to do on our trip.
That they did not offer local draft beer in the Epoc bar.
The location of the hotel was great. Close to many restaurants and shops.
The room we were in was less than desirable. The ceiling had black/grey spots above our bed, I'm hoping it's not mold! The beds were old and saggy. Our "view" on the first floor was of an old delapitated fence with what looks like a run down house next door that can see right into the room. The bathroom needs updating, there was someone's hair stuck to the ceiling of the shower and the worse part was that the heater that you had to turn on ran and sounded like an old window unit a/c. It would be die on fan but when it kicked on to heat it would be so loud you couldn't sleep. Worst couple nights sleep ever! And the "heated" pool is freezing cold!!!
The hotel was in a pretty good location for dining and going to the each which was great.
The staff was very friendly and courteous, made us feel very comfortable.
And the mini fridge in the room was huge!
The hotel seemed just kind of sad? The ceiling of our room was wooden planks which was pretty cool, however the bed was extremely hard, the bathroom was tiny and the bath tub wasn't too clean. The hotels "heated" pool was ice cold the entire stay, no towels on the rack for guests to use, the door to the pool was not locked.
The pool was one of the main reasons we chose the hotel as the weather during our stay was very cloudy and a bit rainy.
Kyak.com said the hotel had a hot tub, it did not.
No shower curtain. The breakfast was not even warm, room temp at best. I just stuck with the muffins because of that.
Professionalism among the staff, cleanliness of the hotel, and 24 hour front desk service
Th e pillows
Every surface was dirty not dusty. It smelled of mold and even carpets were dirty. Bed cover was soiled.
Really nothing !!!!
It is a very old motel. So old it seems filthy. Badly also needs paint ! This facility is way overpriced for its condition ! The rate is only that high because it is summer and the motel is minutes to the ocean.
The suite was outstanding for our family. Pet friendly and most important people friendly.
It was very convenient to Philips Exeter Academy where we had a function. It was clean and spacious. The staff member was very attentive in the evening. The breakfast had a good selection and the staff person was very helpful and considerate.
Another group took over the lobby and were loud and overpower. It was not the hotel's fault, they just had group of young athletes who were staying at the same time. The Staff was very attentive when asked to address the group.
Pretty close to Manchester, nearby parks. Great decor, rooms, and innkeepers.
Spacious, clean and quiet.
We go for the pool!
Evrything was perfect! Always is.
Great location, reasonable price and good amount of space.
Toilet chose who it would and would not work for.
Moved us out of the room we had ordered to a different one
Complimentary dinner and drinks Mon-thurs! It was a pleasant suprise after traveling 7hrs with 2 children!
Too many teenagers in pool Friday night. Very loud. Not the hotel's fault though.
Indoor Pool and Hot Tub. Location as well. Staff was friendly and professional! I will definetely stay there again.
Not really, no.
Very, Very nice and good value and close enough to Hampton Beach without being in the Human Zoo that is Hampton Beach
Here's why:
We're not the seller
At KAYAK we don't set prices, so it's not possible for us to guarantee what other companies are selling.
We aggregate tons of data for you
Our service lets you quickly and easily compare results from hundreds of travel sites at once. In this sense, KAYAK is a search engine and we don't guarantee prices we find.
Why aren't prices accurate 100% of the time?
Prices on airline seats, hotel rooms and car rentals can change frequently. Several people may also be trying to buy the same travel option simultaneously. As a result, you may find on occasion that certain prices are no longer available.
More questions or if you have a bad price to report to us
Please send us an

Suggestions for discolored shower pan
Our shower pan is white and has discolored to yellow most likely due to my cleaning people using bleach cleaners. I have tried everything to get it white again and may have made it a little worse (if that was possible).
I really don't want to remove it since we have custom frameless shower enclosure, out tile is only 2 years old, and the expense is something we can't handle right now (too many other projects). There are companies that restore tubs and showers. I am not sure how long lasting their products are. Has anyone used this type of service? If so, can you share your experience?
Any suggestions on how the fix this issue would be appreciated.
I have reservations about really "cleaning" it to get back to the white.... The companies that do the re-finish generally use an epoxy powder coat and a shower pan should be pretty simple. They seem to work well and hold up well as long as you don't drop a really hard object on them.
I'm gonna guess that it should be around $2-250....

Drought, lodging affect soy yields in LaGrange Co. test
By LAURIE KIEFABER
Indiana Correspondent
HOWE, Ind. — Drought and late-season storms reduced yields in John Larimer's farm's soybean field test plot this fall.
Larimer's LaGrange County farm was one host for Farmer's Independent Research of Seed Technologies' (F.I.R.S.T.) soybean yield tests this season. The test average yield on his property was 50 bushels per acre, with an average gross income of $770 per acre.
"(The plants had) poor emergence, as beans lay in dry soil too long after planting," said F.I.R.S.T. Site Manager Rich Schleuning. "I noted good plant health, as the crop elongated up to 54 inches tall."
With tall plants and late-season storms, however, come lodging and yield loss. The test plot had an average of 14 percent lodging, with the overall range from 6 up to 23 percent.
"(Lodging) basically makes it a lot more difficult to harvest. If the beans are too dry, you get a lot of shatter effect (pods breaking open and beans lost on the ground)," Schleuning explained.
The top 10 yielding varieties ranged from 53.7 to 58.2 bushels per acre. Channel and Specialty each had two top-10 finishers.
Stine variety 29RD22 was the top hybrid, one of eight United Soybean Board entries in the top 30. Its yield was 58.2 bushels per acre, with a moisture content of 17.6 percent. The estimated gross income for this variety was $897 per acre, with 14 percent lodging.
The second-place variety was Steyer 3104R2, with a yield of 57.5 bushels per acre. This variety's estimated gross income was $886 per acre, with a moisture level of 17.9 percent. Schleuning estimated this variety had 20 percent lodging.
Dairyland DSR-3216R2Y came in third, with a yield of 56.7 bushels per acre, 17.7 percent moisture and $874 income per acre. This variety had about 16 percent lodging.
The average test plot moisture level was 17.5 percent.
Schleuning planted at a rate of 170,000 seeds per acre on May 11 and harvested 108,900 plants per acre on Oct. 25. The beans followed corn, with glyphosate previously applied. Glyphosate was used again on this test plot, with a total of 48 varieties tested.

Thermal Cut-Off Kit (279816) was the wrong part for our Whirlpool Dryer Model. The thermal cut-off replacement part did not match the incumbent part. Before ordering this kit, I would recommend homeowners remove the back of the dryer and verifying this kit would work on their dryer. In our situation, it was a fuse that had to be replaced. Although your kit did not help or address my problem, I found the buying experience and the DIY reassurance to be positive. Hopefully the refund process will be equally positive. Thank you.

Cabinet plans - feedback and help
We need to approve the cabinet plans with our GC soon. I'm attaching the cabinet maker's drawings, with my notes, and an elevation drawing from the architect for reference. There's a new wall of cabinets that's still be drawn now (not shown), and will include a 36" wide pantry and two 24" wide bases for entertaining/alcohol. The pantry will hold all the food supplies so those aren't reflected in the planning of storage.
The cabinets will be flush inset in white with white melamine interiors. Just a couple of questions:
1) are there any known issues with melamine interiors vs. plywood?
2) I tried to plan for what I have now, do I have too many narrow drawers?
3) any visible issues?
1. looking nice.
2. can you post a (normal) layout w/ measurements etc?
hard to read w/ just these sketches.
3. only thing I've noticed so far is that you have a lot of 4stack drawers. don't want to be limited to a lot of shallow drawers/you're sure of what will go into them?
4. instead of 2 corner susans, how about one as a blind corner, so you don't have to bend down to get stuff.
5. just an idea w/ your sink/window wall: add sconces in between the windows? have windows come down to the countertop? (I have matching marble window sills).
see mine as example:
just thoughts,
good luck,

Series 4000 Swivel Seat Bar Stools
The Series 4000 swivel seat bar stool has a low, wrap around back which functions as an arm rest. The lower round stretcher can be used as a foot rest in any position that the seat is swiveled. The Series 4000 is made in two seat heights: a 24 inch high version for 36 inch high counter tops, and a 30 inch high version for 42 inch high counter tops. The stools are light weight but strong, the curved parts formed using the bent lamination technique. They are commonly available in white oak, cherry, maple, ash, and for an additional cost, in walnut.
Cherry trees are found throughout the US and Canada. The wood varies from a yellowish pink when first cut to a deep rich reddish brown, often getting darker and more rich as it ages. Its smooth texture and working properties make it a favorite wood among furniture makers.
|White Oak
White oak is the bread-and-butter material of Arts and Crafts furniture. Naturally a light tan color, it shows interesting surface patterns when quarter-sawn. It dyes and stains nicely and is often colored to an amber tone or to a darker brown, though antiques will have been fumed.

iGoogle; Doesn't Everyone?
By Marianne Richmond on April 30, 2007
Tonight, Google announced that it is changing the name of its personalized homepage to iGoogle.
Along with the new name comes new widgets.With the new name and the new widget maker (called Gadget Maker) u and i can pull in YouTube videos, mix our own text and pictures, and count it down with our own countdown timer. And, we can share our gadgets with our friends.
Google says that "creating and sharing Google Gadgets is as easy as filling out a simple form." (Of course, it depends on one's definition of "simple" and "simple form.")
Millward Brown Optimor announced last week that according to their second annual BrandZ survey of the top 100 Brands, Google is the number one most powerful brand. More powerful than Coke, more powerful than Microsoft, more powerful than GE.
Valleywag notes that Business 2.0 asked just the week before, "Why Can't Google Brand?" and added in a compelling graphic that Google achieved this dominance by spending a fraction of what brands such as GE, IBM and Microsoft do.
One of the top critieria for a high ranking in this list is innovation according to Peter Walshe at Milward Brown. This explains the number of technology brands at the top of the list versus consumer package goods brands....when it comes to innovation, Google it seems, not Coke is it.
In terms of being the most powerful personalized homepage, MyYahoo
is much bigger right now. Acording to Techcrunch MyYahoo gets over 50 Million unique visitors monthly while iGoogle gets 7 million monthly visitors.
Yahoo, the Brand, is number 42 on the Brandz list, right behind Deutsche Bank. Duetsche Bank, uber Brand? Well, they lost me at #23, NTT DoCoMo.
And this list measures the most powerful brands in terms of their dollar value...not the most recognized, trusted or respected.

Through his personal interest in World War I, George S. Tate finds deeper meaning of D&C Section 138. Remembering the circumstances of 1918—the war, pandemic flu, and Joseph F. Smith's loss of a son—makes the assurance of divine love and ultimate redemption found in D&C 138 more poignant.

Publishing professionals call it a phenomenon. In 2008, Little, Brown sold 27.5 million copies of Stephenie Meyer's four vampire novels; the Twilight movie grossed $191 million in domestic box office sales; and Meyer's adult novel, The Host, sold an additional million copies. Publishers Weekly crowed, "A new queen has been crowned." USA Today reported that Meyer was the bestselling author in the world for the year 2008, accounting for one in five of the books sold from Thanksgiving to Christmas.
That's not bad for an author who, as the media incessantly reminds us, is little more than a "Mormon housewife." It seems that nearly every major article about Meyer's success has focused on this label, as though Mormon housewives constitute a group of whom little can be reasonably expected. Time magazine called her "a Mormon housewife turned novelist," while Entertainment Weekly trumpeted the fact that back in 2003, Meyer had been "a 29-year-old Mormon housewife" who was mystified by the rarefied world of New York publishing and was merely a member of a "cozy, supportive" women's writing group before being plucked from obscurity by a New York agent. The Time profile, in fact, went out of its way to attest to Meyer's literary inexperience: "Meyer had not written anything much before then. Her main creative outlets were scrapbooking and making elaborate Halloween costumes."
For the record, Meyer studied English literature at Brigham Young University, wrote some, and read widely before having her famous dream that birthed Edward Cullen, a Byronic but noble vampire. The media would prefer to have Meyer's pre-Twilight world intellectually limited because it makes for a better story. To that end, they have revived the term "housewife" instead of using today's far more common (and less provincial) phrase, "stay-at-home mom." The persistence of the housewife image says a good deal less about contemporary Mormonism than it does about what Americans believe about Mormonism.

Brewed a honey porter on 01/13/13 with Wyeast 1968. OG was 1.053.
The last two days, I've been getting 7.0 Brix on the refractometer, which translates to 1.021 after correction for alcohol. Sworled today once I saw it still there.
Spec'd attenuation is 71-75%. Estimated final gravity is 1.013 - 1.015.
I don't detect a sweet taste, but it's definitely the sweetest brew to date.
Should I re-pitch, or RDWHAHB and wait to see if it gets un-stuck?
Since it's only been in there a week I'd give it another 4 or 5 days and see if it's moved at all. If it hasn't you could repitch or try 1/4tsp of amylase enzyme which will get it moving again as well. Just sprinkle it over the top of your brew; no need to boil or anything. It worked well for me on a brew I did that stalled out.
Following up so nobody makes the same mistake.
I let it ride. Took another sample after 7 days with no change. Moved it out of the 65F fermentation chamber into my 70F office for the last 8 days. Been busy, so it was easy to forget about. Just took a measurement again, and got the same exact gravity. Turns out, it has been fully attenuated since the first measurement (day 6). Here's where I went wrong.
I read the OG off the refractometer in SG on brew day and recorded as 1.052 SG. Since then, I switched to making all measurements in Brix for consistency and since my favored ABV calculator prefers Brix before and Brix after, it would remove one conversion step for me.
Two errors I introduced.
1. I used an inaccurate calculator in the OP (MoreBeer spreadsheet) that did not compensate for an wort correction factor. This one is better.
2. If you have the dual-scale Brix/SG refractometer from eBay, you can't trust the SG scale! My refractometer tops out at 31 Brix, which should equal 1.1283 SG. Looking into my refractometer, it shows 31 Brix is equal to 1.1200 SG, which is incorrect. That's a big difference! They used an overly-simplified conversion using the "4-to-1 ratio" conversion trick here. Sloppy manufacturing.
Sighting the 1.052 SG I measured as the OG, that comes out to 13.2 Brix. Running it back through the better calculator linked above, that brings me to 1.0517 OG and 1.0133 FG. That's an attenuation of 74.3%, right on track for the WY 1214 spec of 73-77% (4.9% ABV).
Will keg and force carb tonight if I can find the time. Not crazy about the taste when warm. :\

Sensitive info is accessible to lower ranks in the govt, who pass these on for relatively cheap fee, given the profits the buyer can potentially make.
The funds will be used to expand to new cities, develop a stronger brand platform and work with accommodation owners like hotels, homestays.
Delhi Police today told a court here that documents recovered from the arrested persons in the corporate espionage case was being analysed to unearth a "deep rooted nexus".
At the outset, the bench asked advocate Prashant Bhushan, appearing for CPIL, to disclose his source of information in a sealed cover.
The Congress central leadership has alleged a "BJP-corporate nexus" was behind Jayanthi Natarajan's "baseless allegations".
