So is anyone using it, and is it any good...
Yes I use it.
It gets rid of disables programs that you usally never use in the background. You also have the option to disable specific processes in the taskmanager. You can also hit the "configure" option and select anything you would like in terms of modern applications IE: MSN, Utorrent, Itunesupdate,etc.
Yea i know what it does, but is it really doing it, if you know what i mean. Does it really improve gaming performance that much? And what about that game defrag option?

U.N. agency to form airline safety task force after Ukraine crash
MONTREAL (Reuters) - The United Nations' civil aviation body said on Tuesday it would quickly form a task force on airline safety, noting that while this was complex and politically sensitive, urgent action had to be taken after the recent downing of a Malaysian airliner over Ukraine.

Evergreen vine for fence in shade
Hello All:
I'm looking for an evergreen vine to cover a wire fence on the North side of my house. This is going to be used for a screen so my neighbors don't have to look at my canoe out their dining room window.
The site is close to Seattle, has decent drainage but no direct sun.
It would be nice for the vines to grow quickly to create the screen but be manageable once established.
What's out there?
Evergreen vines for shade are not as common as one would hope - in fact, not all that many fully evergreen vines available for this area at all. Clematis armandii is one of the more popular and common selections and while very shade tolerant, you will not get the profusion of blossoms in no direct sun as in some sun. Also considered marginal in zone 7, where it can experience a lot of dieback and browning of foliage in a rough winter. Ditto for the evergreen hydrangeas - marginal in zone 7. You could try akebia but it is most often termed as "semi-evergreen". And other than ivy, which is a huge no-no in this area, there's not much else out there in the way of a vining evergreen.
Have you considered a clumping bamboo?
... would be USDA 8. One you can find at local outlets that is pretty nice is Lonicera henryi, you might want to check that out. They have a pretty good climbing plant area at Molbak's, if you are near enough to Woodinville to want to duck in there and have a look.
Thanks for the help.
Our house is close to Lake Washington at a low elevation and doesn't usually get as cold as other areas on the Eastside. We don't expect any flowers since there isn't any direct sun.
Bamboo is also going to be planted in a couple spots along the screen for cosmetic effect but I still want a good vine for insurance.
I looked at some nearby Lonicera henryi in a shady spot but it seemed to be bare at the bottom. The info online also said that without some sun this plant is bare in the lower spots.
I have read that miniature ivy is less invasive but looks decent all year. Would this be the same kind of ivy that people grow as a houseplant?
Pest infestations of ivy (Hedera) of various types are all over the area now, nobody should be planting ivy these days. As with other climbers trained onto a surface of limited extent the honeysuckle would be pruned to furnish the surface in the desired manner. Another thing you can do to get a pleasing total effect is to plant more than one kind of climber, this is also more interesting than filling up the whole space with one kind of plant. Maybe do something like the honeysuckle for the upper part and the Euonymus fortunei for the lower.
I like my Akebia, if you want fruit you have to plant 2 varieties. It is very vigorous and will reach but is by no means the thug that my Wisteria is, which I moved into the lawn but this winter may totally eliminate.
2 varieties of Akebia (plus some Dioscorea) on a trellis, lots of trees around so not much direct sun-
Here it's a little colder than Portland, and colder than Seattle, and it has been evergreen for me. I have not actually cut it back or trimmed it, I just try to pull out some dead leaves.

I wandered into work yesterday, expecting to find a couple of new roses for me to plant. Now this was for my solicitor customer who has a rapacious secretary - the same one who added a zero onto my bulb orders (450 alliums instead of 45!) so I ought to have been on guard. 8 roses! I take part of the blame because I e.mailed details of a rather good nursery I frequent (she had previously been paying Austin prices....and had ordered over 30 of them). At least she had followed my suggestions (apart from the 2 Albertines), so I had to work quicksmart to get them in the soil.
Rambling Rector, 2 Albertines, Blush Rambler, Aglaia, Gardenia and 2 William Tyndales - a recently found rambler with deep pink single blooms (unsurprisingly, this one was my top choice). Oh yeah, there were also 3 wisterias and 11 clematis too. I have been charged with an impossible disguise act - to somehow 'hide the evidence' of 2 enormous, illegally felled yews. And this is another tale to tell and further evidence that the general public are definitely in need of guidance and strong sedation.
Wow camps, that's a lot of work, hope the beds were prepared. Must be a large property. Over here being caught in the act of felling a Taxus baccata (ÃÂ suppose that's what a yew is for you) could land you in prison for a couple of days before trial and then you would owe that state a nicely rounded sum of Euros..
Here it is Giant Sequoia (redwood trees) which are protected, among others. We hardly have any "old growth" ones left (massive logging in the 19th century), so all of them of any age are protected. A homeowner in a town nearby had to prove that a few on her neighbors land were sick and in danger of falling on her house (all of the arborists agreed with her) and killing her family in their sleep before they could be taken down - this took several years in court cases and appeals. Eventually they were taken down.
I think if anyone just chopped some redwood trees down in the night, they would face a lynch mob.
A homeowner had several eucalyptus trees (blue gum) which were growing in a park downhill from her house chopped down in the night (they were obscuring her view). Now, those are not native to here, and are regarded as a fire hazard and messy, but nonetheless that homeowner spent several months on trial for various crimes before it was pled down and she was put on probation & fined.
Tree wars - always interesting...
Jackie ....
One of the reasons I decided not to live on the coast in redwood country, which I love, is that when I was house hunting the local paper had an article about the city council denying permission to and elderly lady to remove 12 redwood trees that she and her husband had planted about 50 years ago on their property. She had reports from an arborist stating that these 12 trees out of the 70 they had planted were truly vulnerable to falling on her house when there were high winds, which were very common in her location.
I decided I couldn't live where trees planted by someone, not old growth, were more important than that person's life.
Suzy ... sound like you really had your work cut out for you.
I am feeling quite grateful that everything here is still covered in snow. I needed a break.
Ha! I once had foolish friends who planted redwood trees all around the fence line of their back yard (on about 3 foot centers!). Their back yard also had about 2 dozen rose bushes. About 5 years after planting the redwoods, I was over there and she asked me to come and look at her roses - there was something mysteriously wrong with them. Of course, the redwoods (which were already crowding each other) had completely shaded out the "rose garden", which was now in deep gloom. I suggested taking out all of the roses, and 2 out of 3 of the trees, and planting ferns.
Camp is right - "the general public are definitely in need of guidance and strong sedation"!
Yep, I weaseled the truth about the trees from my customer (after checking on the public planning portal and finding nothing).........and my guy is a lawyer ffs. Frankly, I think he is going to need more than a clematis montana....or even Kiftsgate (our banksia, in terms of size and vigour) to hide this.....
Of course, the ground was prepped for 2 roses so I had to hustle to get them in the ground (had to dig monster holes because Trevor's roses have the fattest, hugest roots). I am terribly interested in the William Tyndale rose though - cannot find much info so far.....
Well yeah? Why indeed?
Truth is, these trees are under a Tree Protection Order, which means that the householder has a duty of care to ensure the trees are maintained in health....and any extraneous work MUST be approved by council tree officers, yes, even on private property. So, this was a sort of cack-handed attempt to remove some of the trees while still attending to the letter of the law (except it doesn't, since even thinning or crown reduction has to be authorised).
I, on the other hand, am sitting back and waiting for the inevitable fines and trouble to hit my customer...although, as a lawyer, he deals in class actions against paedophiles and authorities sheltering paedophiles and is, in effect, one of the 'good guys' who is also becoming incredibly rich due to the nefarious behaviour of those who cannot keep their hands to themselves and their tackle in their pants.
It is a sad and often bewildering world we inhabit (my client is, at present, working on behalf of many children from 8 different children's homes, approved schools and education establishments). One of our garden aims is to create a safe and reassuring environment for abused children.....although murderous tree workers are not exactly fulfilling this brief.

Compare Prices on Oasis of the Seas Eastern Caribbean Cruises
My Family and in-laws just returned from our Easter Vacation on the Oasis of the seas, we have several cruises under our belts but the 1st on Royal Caribbean.
What a great experience, I read all the reviews and thought I was ready but Wow! So to begin as everyone said embarkation was smooth, but contrary to what I read most places where available for lunch we went to Park Café and yes the beef sandwich was exceptional!! We bought the ultimate drink packages and it really saved us in the long run. We had already been to the islands so I am very sure that we did not miss anything on the ship, the entertainment was top notch, the food was very good we did specialty dining 3 nights... Chefs dinner was delicious and fun! 150 Central Park we would not do again:( food was ok, server was so blah and the last was the Chops Grille and it was delicious. We had a full ship with spring break but it didn't feel that way at all. My only negative was the staff, out of the 100 we had More contact with I would say maybe 3 or 4 even had smile, mind you there were a couple that where so awesome:) Like Roger from the Rising Tide Bar , Vita and our wait staff at the main dining room. Ahhh I'm ready to go back already. The only downside that the in laws had was that there were so many unattended children everywhere. All in all absolutely perfect Thank you Royal Caribbean see you soon. Less

Kino Lorber Picks Up Jean-Luc Godard's 'Goodbye to Language'
Kino Lorber has acquired North American rights to Jean-Luc Godard's newest film, the 3D Goodbye to Language, which premiered at this year's Cannes Film Festival, where it was the co-winner of the Jury Prize along with Xavier Dolan's Mommy.
LIST Hollywood's 100 Favorite Films
The distributor plans to screen the film on the festival circuit, open it theatrically in New York in late October at the Film Society of Lincoln Center and IFC Center, and then follow with a national theatrical rollout on 3D screens. A digital VOD, home media and 3D Blu-ray release is planned for 2015.
Produced by Alain Sarde and Wild Bunch, the film follows a couple whose relationship breaks down, with the second half of the movie being told from the point of view of a dog.
PHOTOS 35 of 2014's Most Anticipated Movies
The deal was negotiated between Kino Lorber CEO Richard Lorber and Carole Baraton, head of international sales at Wild Bunch.
"To have the honor to release this ecstatically brilliant, career-capping film by the iconic Jean-Luc Godard leaves us appropriately speechless," Lorber said.

The Universal Exposure Strategy
How to harness the power within your camera and your eye to get perfect exposures for every kind of lighting situation
Labels: How-To, Camera Technique
If the mound of data is cut off by the right side of the graph, reduce exposure and try again. If your camera gives you a histogram with exposure simulation in Live View, you can adjust exposure before shooting until the highlights are almost, but not quite, clipped.
The most sophisticated way to use the Limiting Factor strategy is to spot-meter the highlights and open up an appropriate number of stops to place them just below clipping. To use this technique effectively, you need to know the dynamic range of your sensor, which you can establish by testing. I know, for example, that with my Canon EOS-1Ds Mark III, I can spot-meter a bright white cloud, open up three stops and still hold printable detail.
I start by shooting two frames, one exposed for highlights, one for shadows. Next, I stack the two frames on top of each other in either Photoshop or Photoshop Elements (version 9 or later), with the dark (good highlights) frame on top. I add a layer mask to the top layer, then draw a white-to-black gradient on the mask to merge the two frames in a way that's exactly analogous, in terms of the end result, to using a physical, grad neutral-density filter in the field. For more details, see "The Rembrandt Solution" (Outdoor Photographer, September 2009).
4 HDR As a last resort, in the highest contrast situations, you may be forced to rely on HDR techniques to merge several bracketed frames in tone-mapping software. At a minimum, you'll need three frames shot at -2, 0 and +2 exposure compensation using the auto-bracketing feature on your camera. There are many good HDR programs, but my favorites continue to be HDRsoft Photomatix and Nik Software HDR Efex Pro.
The Universal Exposure Strategy lets you choose, after the fact, which of the four basic exposure strategies to employ. In a PhD situation, the middle frame of the bracketed set should be perfect. In fact, if you're completely confident it's a PhD scene, you don't need to bracket at all.

We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
"In this paper, we describe a method of representing the US income tax declaration form in the form of a fish tank decorated with ornaments. We placed fish food at locations representing sources of income, while taxes were represented by obstacles in the form of fish tank ornaments. The statistical average time taken by the fish to feed determined the final amount of tax due."
Actually still evolution. The natural environment of these guppies changed from a tank in a pet store to a tank that happened to be in a lab filled with apes who like to kill small brained guppies for their own amusement (or some other reason, who can say why white coated apes do what they do). Through random mutation some guppies had larger brains. Because of the selection pressure in this new environment those guppies tended to survive to produce offspring while the predator killed their smaller brained counterparts.
Same shit different day. Replace the apes in coats with some other environment change that favors big brained guppies and kills off the dumb ones and the result would be pretty much the same. Guppies have no magical sixth sense that tells them to do something genetically different in the presence of guppy slaying apes than guppy slaying anything that isn't apes.
Is your job running? You'd better go catch it!

A day to remember
One simply wanted to be present. Freezing cold or not, a crowd of 2 million, whatever -- solemn warnings about tight security, long lines, traffic jams, cell phones not working. In the end, one wanted to be there on the Mall before the Capitol on Tuesday at noon amid the jubilant throng and see the man take the oath of office -- our first genuine Author-President.

We took the chance to use Web-Blinds despite the mixed reviews on here and other sites. The reason was that the prices were extremely competitive. We ordered cream Venetian blinds for a very wide window and were worried how it would all work out. We requested a specific delivery date and took out some insurance in case our measurements were wrong. Fortunately, the latter wasn't needed and the blinds came (albeit not on the day we thought we'd requested but in the end it wasn't an issue)and we… Read Full ReviewVisit web-blinds.com

I contacted Web Blinds to report this fault and was told that as my product was outside it's 12 month guarantee. It was only 3 weeks over the 12 months and Web Blinds where not willing to replace the blind.

So very pleased when the blind was delivered quickly and within the time frame stated.Once we opened the packages and saw the quality we were even more pleased and add to that the great quality then you have the complete package. Must admit to have been a bit apprehensive about fitting it ourselves as not exactly fit and mobile these days. However, it was a breeze to fit, so quick and easy.

Having read the reviews, I didn't really want to use this company, but they are the only company I could find that would make a wood-effect Venetian blind, using 63mm slats, at over 2.5m wide. Not the best start, when the package arrived with chunks out of the packaging... clearly the courier's fault, so I contacted Web-Blinds and they reassured me that if, upon opening the packaging anything is damaged, they would pay to have it collected and a new one delivered. I took some pics of the… Read Full ReviewVisit web-blinds.com

Shameful: So-Called 'Marriage Protection Amendment' Introduced in House
July 1, 2013 by HRC staff
Post submitted by Eric Cameron, HRC Digital Media Specialist
Late Friday Rep. Tim Huelskamp (R-Kansas) and 28 conservative cosponsors introduced a federal constitutional amendment in the House of Representatives, which would define marriage in the United States as the union of one man and one woman.
The proposed amendment would overturn laws in the 13 states and D.C. that currently have marriage equality and prevent any future same-sex marriages in any state.
Rep. Huelskamp attempted to defend the proposed amendment during an interview yesterday with David Gregory on Meet the Press, citing widely discredited research that children suffer from being raised in homes with same-sex parents.
HRC will strongly oppose any efforts by Congress to advance this so-called "Marriage Protection Amendment." A constitutional amendment requires a two-thirds vote by both the House and Senate and then must be ratified by three-fourths of the states.

"Only Americans Please"
If it is funny, it is only for the American. It is not like his earlier books. Not a classic global book which everyone can enjoy.
"Depends on the purpose!"
If you are looking for business ideas, innovative thinking, insights which you can use in your business this is not the book. This about Walmart, its people and culture. Their obsession with lowering prices. It makes a interesting reading provided you are not expecting any useful take away
"The untold story of the world no 2 most wanted man"
This is a amazing story of the underworld in India and how it shaped so many things from the film industry to the terrorism. Written by a journalist, the book is a bit unstructured as things get repeated but it gave me a clear view on the life of the worlds no 2 wanted man. Amazing research. Terrific insights into the Indian mafia.
"Not good at all"
Lot of words about how this book is bad will not help. Along with a bad narrator this is a just a ordinary book of an demented serial killer. As an avid reader of mystery thriller and drama, I did not enjoy the book. Skip if you have other options in your wish list is my advice.
"A gripping story. Not a crime thriller"
This book had any uncanny connection to books by David Rosenfelt. The narrator - Grover Gardner is the narrator of Andy Carpenter series. The books main characters are Andy and Laurie, same as in David Rosenfelt's Andy Carpenter series. And for a minute I thought eh...is it...but I could not have been more wrong. This is not a crime thriller but a book which touches the emotions of parents and kids involved in a issue which can be at best considered "abnormal" The building of characters, their handling of the complex issues and emotions is managed in a beautiful way, by actions and spoken words rather than description of the state of mind. It has its few surprises, twist and turns which could get it classified as a crime thriller, but I would rather call it a very good gripping story of managing very complex issues in a family which is jolted out of their normal existence by a crime!
Go ahead. It is worth that credit.
"Hilariously accurate. Dark and funny"
This is amazing way to tell the story of modern India. The characters are awesome. The plot is outrageous but possible in the crazy new India. But all that apart, this book is hilarious! It is a dark comedy. Do not think too much. This will be funny and interesting irrespective of the genre you normally love. I am a "mystery and thriller" for the traffic and exercises type of a guy...but this book was a well fit for me. This is not the "heavy" stuff which usually comes with award winners.
"More than the conventional Hostage thriller"
This book is fast paced, a bit faster than you will expect. There is no dull moment and never does the author linger into describing the mountains. It is a thriller to the core. It is not a conventional hostage drama, the twist and turns surprise and keep you gripped. Any lover of thrillers will thoroughly enjoy it. It will not be really worth describing the character and plot in the review. The character building is also as fast as the rest of the book. But the book is not about the character, it is how the characters behave in crises. Speed and Thrills. Worth the credit!
"Linwood Barclay is amazing"
I have to yet to come across a book by Linwood Barclay where the plot or the characters are not unique. The suspense, the surprises, the twits and turns of the plot keep you gripped. This book in no exception to this. A unique plot with unique characters which kept me gripped from start to the last chapter. I would rather not discuss the plot and characters or try to be a critic, if a book is engages me like this one did, I give it top marks. Go for it, you will not be disappointed if you love mysteries and thrillers!
"This is an amazing, hilarious, entertaining book"
Nope, this book does not deserve a long review. it just deserves stars. LOL, LOL, LOL, LOL, LOL - all are stars!
Go for it. there are a no disappointments in this book if you have a sense of humor and can enjoy fiction as fiction!
"Laugh and Smile through the book!"
Unless you get annoyed with the Croatian accent this book is a laugh riot. It is without a serious plot, it just the narrative and style which is funny. A hit man escapes and takes an identity of priest in Iceland. But the events, goof ups, the characters and the wise cracks made the book worth listening to. I was laughing aloud at some instance. I do not think this book would have been as funny if it was read without the accent. It is a short book. Worth for a relaxed trip!
Check out the sample before you download, there is a thick eastern European accent at may not be something you can decipher.
"As usual! Rocks!"
Smile through the book.Laugh aloud many a times. Feel some good suspense and thrills to hold the laughter! It is always worth it. Terra has not been given the due attention in this book. Next time :) If you have heard Andy Carpenter books this is a easy choice. If you are new...welcome to the world of humor-thrillers-Go for it!

It's a subtle shift, really. You don't even realize it's happening.
The language changes first: "they" becomes "we."
It all slips off the cliff from there.
Everything that was annoying — the "O-H" screams, the carefully posed foursome photos, the random "Go Bucks!" greetings from strangers — becomes charming. You buy a red shirt. You buy your dog a red shirt. You know the names of the guy throwing the ball and the guy catching the ball and the guy smashing his flesh against someone else to make it all happen.
I did it, and I'm not sorry. I fully jumped on the Ohio State bandwagon and adopted this university — and the city that barely contains it — as my own. Monday night I watched the Buckeyes nimbly claim the national championship and I felt my heart swell. The next morning I listened to a recap on the radio and fought tears.
Yes, I hate me, too.
But here's the deal: I have lived in several states, none of which has a team that actually wins. (We're going to forget about Wisconsin here because that was college and also because we are going to forget about Wisconsin.) I rooted for the Vikings. I tried to support the Bengals. I gave up. I forgot all of football's rules, and then I guess all the rules changed.
But now I don't have to be disappointed! I get to see a team — MY TEAM! — win!
And so I'm not ashamed. I'm not doing an O-H-I-O photo, either. But still. Go Bucks. Go sports!

Red Wings' Niklas Kronwall ponders 'Life after Lidstrom' in CBC Q and A
by George Malik on 01/21/13 at 04:46 PM ET
Comments (0)
Via RedWingsFeed, I'm still catching up after very literally catching hypothermia during the 24-hour period when we were without power here in South Lyon, so I will be spending the afternoon/evening catching up...But this Q and A Niklas Kronwall conducted with the CBC's Doug Harrison, in which he discusses Nicklas Lidstrom's retirement and "Life after Lidstrom," is more than worth its own entry:
"Nick deserves all the credit he gets from around the league," said the 32-year-old year Kronwall, who received guidance on and off the ice from Lidstrom when he broke into the NHL in the 2002-03 season. "He was our best player for 82 regular-season games and then every game in the playoffs. To do that year in and year out, what do you say?"
Kronwall shared some thoughts on what life is like and will be like in Detroit without Lidstrom as the team embarks on a lockout-shortened season.

Grand Rapids Griffins' Joakim Andersson named AHL player of the week
by George Malik on 01/21/13 at 04:32 PM ET
Comments (1)
Good news in the Red Wings prospects department, per the Grand Rapids Griffins' PR department:
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. – The American Hockey League announced on Monday that Grand Rapids Griffins center Joakim Andersson has been selected as the CCM/AHL Player of the Week for the period ending Jan. 20.
A native of Munkedal, Sweden, Andersson returned to the Griffins' lineup on Thursday at Charlotte after missing eight games (Dec. 31-Jan. 16) with an injury and recorded a goal and two assists in a 5-2 win, helping the Griffins to their first-ever victory over the Checkers. He followed up the performance with a career-high four points (1-3—4) during Saturday's 11-6 win at Rockford, giving him seven points (2-5—7) in two contests last week.
Additionally, Andersson was named First Star and tallied the game-winning goal on both nights. He has five game-winning goals this season, which ties for second in the AHL.

Detroit News posts remarkable time-lapse video of Joe Louis Arena becoming a hockey rink again
by George Malik on 01/21/13 at 04:21 PM ET
Comments (1)
The Detroit News's David Guralnick is a TMR fan favorite, and the Detroit News's Tom Greenwood reports that Guralnick did something spectacular with his cameras over a two-day period of time last week:
Over a two-day period, photographer David Guralnick created a time-lapse video - edited down to roughly 3,800 separate frames — that shows Joe Louis Arena being transformed from an auto show venue to an ice rink; a 48-hour job reduced to 2 minutes and 12 seconds.
The transformation took place from 10:30 a.m. Jan. 15 to 12:30 p.m. Jan. 17, according to Guralnick, who first had to receive permission from the Red Wings before going to work.
"I hung the camera up in the catwalks above the arena, looking for an angle that would show the entire rink when they were finished," Guralnick said. "I'd say I was about 10 feet away from the roof, so I'd say I was way up there."

Red Wings-Blue Jackets game-day update post in progress: injuires injuires injuries
by George Malik on 01/21/13 at 04:03 PM ET
Comments (6)
Updated 3x at 5:32 PM: The Detroit Red Wings face off against the Columbus Blue Jackets tonight (7:30 PM, FSD/NBC Sports Network/97.1 FM) as something of a mess. As you probably already know by now, Jakub Kindl (groin) and Darren Helm (back) are on the mend, but Jan Mursak (collarbone) joined Todd Bertuzzi (mononucleosis) on the IR, Jonathan Ericsson (shoulder) is iffy for tonight's game, and so is Jonas Gustavsson (groin).
The Free Press's Helene St. James updates us on the Wings' injury issues...
A lineup already hurt by injuries or illnesses to forwards Darren Helm and Todd Bertuzzi and backup goalie Jonas Gustavsson may take another dent, as Ericsson is questionable because of a sore right shoulder.
Ericsson hurt himself when he crashed into the boards during Sunday's practice, after stepping on a loose puck. He went through the morning skate but didn't sound enthusiastic about his health.
"Not as good as I hoped," he said when asked how he felt. "It's better than it was last night, but it just hurts."

Red Wings recall Lashoff, release details about tomorrow night's home opener
by George Malik on 01/21/13 at 03:52 PM ET
Comments (1)
From the Red Wings' PR department:
... Rearguard Jakub Kindl Placed on Injured Reserve to Make Room on 23-Man Roster …
Detroit, MI... The Detroit Red Wings today announced that defenseman Brian Lashoff has been recalled from the Grand Rapids Griffins of the American Hockey League. Lashoff, 22, has appeared in 36 games for Grand Rapids this season, tallying six points (2G-4A) in addition to 23 penalty minutes and a plus/minus rating of +4.
In order to make room for Lashoff on their 23-man roster, Detroit has placed blue-liner Jakub Kindl (lower body injury) on the team's IRL. The Red Wings are currently on a two-game, season-opening road trip and are scheduled to face-off against the Columbus Blue Jackets later tonight at Nationwide Arena (7:30 p.m., FOX Sports Detroit, NBC Sports Network and 97.1 The Ticket).

from Aaron Portzline of Puck-Rakers,
"They're going to be a lot better tonight, and everybody knows it," Blue Jackets defenseman Jack Johnson said. "Everybody is making a big deal out of losing Lidstrom, and it is a big deal. He's the best defenseman to ever play the game. That's a huge loss. But there's a lot of other proven, excellent players over there, too. They're still a real good team."
The Blue Jackets have undergone sweeping changes, too. Red Wings coach Mike Babcock was asked if he quite knew what to expect of his Central Division neighbor.
"Obviously no Nash," Babcock said, referring to ... well, ya know. "But by moving Nash they acquired depth.
"They've been a team on the rise, even though people on the outside don't see that. They've been a team getting better each and every year. They had injuries last year and things got off kilter. But they're a team that's been getting better and better. Their top four D with Johnson, Wisniewski, Tyutin and Nikitin – suddenly they have a top 4 D that you look at and say 'Geez, that's a top-4 D.'

from Ansar Khan of Mlive,
"The sun came up. Let's get at 'er,'' Babcock said Sunday, after practice at Nationwide Arena. "We met today and went through our game, technically and from a physical standpoint and from a compete standpoint. We went on the ice for 35 minutes and tried to get tempo going off the start, work on a couple of things, and she's a new day tomorrow.''
"We have to be way more competitive than we were,'' Babcock said. "We didn't have much structure and much battle in us. It was disappointing. It was pretty easy to see and it didn't feel very good to be a player or a coach, a manager, probably an owner.''

At least the Grand Rapids Griffins had some fight in 'em

The Detroit Red Wings had a rough outing on Saturday night, dropping a 6-0 loss to St. Louis, but the team's AHL affiliate, the Grand Rapids Griffins, defeated the Rockford IceHogs 11-6...And if you look at the box score, they had an "interesting" evening.
Via the Left Wing Lock's Sarah Lindenau, here's a video of a bench-clearing brawl at the 11:58 mark of the 2nd period, which resulted in game misconducts to Wings prospects Gleason Fournier, Brian Lashoff, Tomas Tatar and goaltender Petr Mrazek in an old-school bench-clearing brawl.
It's a little fuzzy, but it's also probably the only video of the brawl we'll find. For now:

Red Wings-Blues quick take: if you're gonna get your butt kicked, do it thoroughly?
by George Malik on 01/19/13 at 11:44 PM ET
Comments (27)
I usually try to write something up after a game like this, but after enduring a 6-0 Red Wings loss to the St. Louis Blues, one in which the Wings were out-shot by a ridiculous margin, out-chanced, out-skated, out-hit and plain old out-played to such an extent that I can only hope that this was a, "Okay, we're going to play one preseason game, get our asses kicked incredibly thoroughly and leave our rust, our shakiness and our utter fear of playing without Lidstrom behind us, all in one game and one city!" type game...
I might as well let you vent. Jimmy Howard was valliant despite giving up 5 goals on 28 shots. Three of 'em were just breakaways (Kyle Quincey left his brain in Detroit), and he may have had a chance on Tarasenko's second goal, but that was about it.
The power play stank. The penalty kill stank. The Wings looked intimidated by the Blues--as has become usual over the past couple of years at the Scottrade Center--and looked plain old lost.
