Will red wigglers hibernate outside
Hi all,
I have a big compost pile, but it tends to be seasonal (wood chips, leaves etc) and far from the house. I tend so that it is usable at a specific time and then gone. Adding kitchen waste is a hassle because of the mess and the long walk to the pile (for a small amount of scraps at any one time). So I'm planning to start a garbage can composter near the back door for the kitchen scraps. I want the scraps to break down quickly and it is my understanding that red Wigglers will do this better than my native nightcrawlers etc., but I am wondering if I do invest in RWs can I just let them exit the holes in the bottom of the can when winter hits so they can hibernate in deep ground? Will they naturally return when things warm up, or should I just let the the native worms do their thing?
Depending on where you live, your bin may attract native worms. If you have native worms in your compost pile, you can expect to have them in your bin.
Some redworms may overwinter, depending on how cold it gets and how well insulated the bin is. Otherwise they will lay eggs like crazy and die, then things will start up again in the spring when the bin warms up and the eggs hatch.
You may want to take a looke at RWC's experiences with over-wintering in-ground worm pits in Canada.

And now medicine accepts that the physician can only help by his medicines and other things, if the person wants to live. If the person has dropped the idea of living, then all those medicines are useless. Medicines don't cure you. Your will to live cures you - medicines are only a secondary help, a support. But if somebody has moved to the opposite pole - the instinct for death, for darkness - then no medicine can pull him out.
As I was reading the question, I thought about AIDS. Perhaps someday it may be found that AIDS is nothing but an unconscious desire to die; that's why scientists are unable to find any cure for it.
At this moment in history, Devageet's question becomes even more pertinent, because one wonders that seventy-five percent of the budget of the whole of humanity is being devoted to create destructive weapons - nuclear weapons, and half of humanity is starving. Thousands of people are dying without medicine, and millions of children are dying because they cannot get very inexpensive vaccines.
On the one hand, humanity is on the verge, just because of overpopulation, of dying of starvation; and on the other hand, all politicians in the world have only one desire: to become nuclear powers. Five countries are already nuclear powers, and by the end of this century, twenty-five more countries will be nuclear powers. Already, we have enough nuclear weapons to destroy humanity seven times.
It seems absolutely ridiculous now to go on piling up nuclear weapons. Billions of dollars are wasted on nuclear weapons while children are dying because they cannot get medicine, they cannot get food. By the end of this century, half of the population of the world will die from starvation; and the other half, perhaps, will die through nuclear warfare.
It seems it is not only one individual, but perhaps the whole of humanity that has lost the will to live, the will to be more conscious, the will to be more aware, the will to reach to the highest peak of enlightenment, to be a Gautam Buddha.
On the contrary, people are waiting to disappear into darkness, into death, because life is so meaningless and so futile. There seems to be no reason to go on living. For the first time, on a tremendous scale, millions of people are feeling meaninglessness. It is creating tremendous anxiety, and it seems death is the only cure. With death, everything will subside. There will be no problem, no anxiety, no struggle, no jealousy, no tension.
Perhaps, Devageet, your word endarkenment may become a contribution to our language, as the opposite of enlightenment. People have always lived unconsciously, but today, the unconsciousness has reached to such a point that even death is preferable to unconsciousness.
A Scotsman named Angus needed a new kilt. When he went to pick out some material at the store, he decided to purchase two extra yards of fabric to make a matching scarf for his girlfriend.
He then went home and made such a beautiful kilt that when he tried it on, and looked in the mirror, he forgot all about the scarf and thought, "I shall go right now and show this to my lady."

Marcia Cross Gets Political
Politics or Show Biz For Your Kids?
by babysugar
Like us on Facebook
Breast cancer is a cause near and dear to her heart, so Desperate Housewives's actress Marcia Cross has been putting her efforts into fighting for rights for women recuperating from mastectomies.
The Melrose Place veteran is using her star power to bring attention to a 12–year–old bill that would grant patients 48 hours to recover after their surgery. Marcia, Marcia, Marcia – you look good behind that podium!
When asked about her twin girls' future in show business or politics, she was very clear about her wishes for them. She told People,
I wouldn't actually want them to go into show business, but politics?" she pondered. "Maybe. Hmm. Senator Mahoney. President Mahoney. If they want to, I'll be there for them.
Which career path would you choose for your children?
Desperate Housewives
Melrose Place

Well, I'm kind of creative and I see those tendencies in my daughter too. I think she would really enjoy being an actress/entertainer as an artistic outlet. But I think I'd rather she be a Broadway theater actress than a big movie star. Politics I'm not so sure about. It just seems like even if you have a good heart and want the best for the people...there are too many things standing in the way.

With Ford orchestrating, Tuilagi could wreak havoc on the wingStuart Barnes
Harry Kane looks even more likely to make his first England start in Italy on Tuesday night, after Danny Welbeck, the Arsenal forward, withdrew from the squad with a knee injury. Welbeck, who impressed in the win over Lithuania and was named the sponsors' man of the match, suffered what Roy Hodgson, the England manager, described as a "tweak to the knee". The injury is not serious and Welbeck should be fit in time for Arsenal's key Barclays Premier League match against Liverpool next Saturday. Three other players have withdrawn from the squad to face the Italians. Raheem Sterling, who scored England's third goal last night, has a toe injury which will require regular injections to nurse him through the rest of the season, while James Milner, the Manchester City midfielder, has a minor knee injury. Leighton Baines, the Everton full-back, has had various injury problems in recent weeks and is being sent back to his club as a precaution. Ryan Bertrand, of Southampton, has been brought in as cover - the fifth left-back to be called up to the squad since it was first named, along with Kieran Gibbs, who will be going to Italy, and Baines, Luke Shaw, and Danny Rose, who have all pulled out. The withdrawals mean England will take just 17 fit outfield players to Turin for a match which, despite being a friendly, is easily their biggest test since the World Cup, at which they lost their opening game 2-1 to Italy. Kane, who
After 47 games, 21,946 runs, 664 wickets and 2,597 boundaries, the 2015 Cricket World Cup will be decided in a final between the co-hosts at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. With no rain forecast, the match is expected to be a fitting finale between the tournament's two stand-out teams - in Michael Clarke's final one-day international. In his preview of the final, Mike Atherton says it has been refreshing to watch fast bowling and aggressive captaincy become the key factors in the success of both teams. Meanwhile Richard Hobson has written about how the "little brothers" of New Zealand are eager to exact revenge at the scene of one of cricket's great crimes. Play starts at 4.30am BST.

There will have been days over the past six months when Kell Brook wondered if he would ever get to defend the IBF welterweight title he won so impressively in America last summer, but this was a night worth waiting for. Brook blasted Jo Jo Dan to defeat at the Motorpoint Arena, Sheffield, on Saturday night, knocking him down four times before the Romanian was pulled out at the end of the fourth round. It could scarcely have been a more impressive display of power and timing by Brook, who made a decent opponent seem out of his depth. This was the first defence of the title he won by beating Shawn Porter on points in California last August, although the journey between that night and this was a difficult one after Brook was the victim of a machete attack on holiday in Tenerife three weeks after his big win. For a time it was feared he might not walk aga

Location: This was meant to be a relaxing and recharge trip. We relaxed....only went into Playa one morning.
Returned home to Wisconsin after a delightful week of vacation in Playa del Carmen at the Paradisus Playa del Carmen La Perla. The resort was beautiful, room was wonderfully appointed, staff was friendly and helpful. We had Royal Service which gave us exclusive access to a pool and restaurant. Loved the adults only resort.

We just got back from our hineymoon and let me say that although there are many options at Playa del Carmen, Paradisus was more than perfect. The place is new so everything works and looks clean. The staff was amazing, super friendly and polite. The room and our view were spectacular. The food (and there are plenty of options to eat at the hotel) was delicious. The bar staff made great drinks and were fast. Everything about our honeymoon was great and we will definitely be going back to Paradisus. Possibly for our 1 year anniversary.

First of all, I want to say that the resort is beautiful. It was clean, Up to date and modern. The facility was well kept. The food was good for an all-inclusive resort. The food at the pool (Sunset Grill) was delicious compared to the other places. One restaurant you had to pay a fee to eat at. The bellmen, Freddy and Alfredo were a delight (actually all of them were)! One staff didn't understand what the colors of the bracelets meant and accused us of underage drinking, but she figured it out and apologized. The music at their most "popular" lounge (Red lounge) was terrible and no one was dancing. I probably wouldn't pick this resort for partying (even though the advertised so many bars). I'm torn between what to rate this resort because while it is a nice resort, it was a hassle getting our room and making reservations for dinner. Upon arrival, we were told by Gabriel that there was a computer glitch and that there were no rooms available at La Perla and that we would be staying next door at Esmerelda. Imagine our faces! We were in Mexico for a bachelorette party after all; we picked La Perla because it was an ADULTS ONLY resort. Gabriel told us the Esmerelda and La Perla were exactly the same, it was not! Gabriel mentioned more than once, that the price diff btwn Esmerelda and La Perla was not significant, but I don't care about the price difference! I care about the experience I was paying for! ADULTS ONLY and to not have to make the journey back and forth to my room!

We loved our satay at Paradisus La Perla. Our one bedroom master suite swim up was absolutely perfect! The food is really good, and the staff very friendly and accommodating. The only draw back is the beach is not ideal. There are areas to lay out, but it is pretty rocky and the beach is narrow. Overall we loved our stay

Beautiful Hotel, great staff, fun time!!Posted Mar 15, 2015
Hotel was absolutely beautiful, the staff was friendly, attentive, and always happy to help. Rooms are very modern, clean, spacious, and comfortable, the fridge was always stocked with drinks and snacks. The food was amazing, highly recommend The Market, Vento, and Mole! So good!! Great selection of alcohol at pool and bars. The Martini bar, was awesome, great place for a drink before dinner reservation. Lots of good entertainment at night. The pool is nice, only complaint is the lack of music played at the pool during the day. The beach is nice, you can walk to downtown Playa del Carmen in about 15 minutes from the beach, however seaweed was very bad when we were there, from what I understand it's usually not an issue but is in season right now. It was pretty gross, smelled bad, and over powered the beach. The hotel tried to keep up on it, but it was an impossible task, due to the amount that washed to shore daily. This was our 5th all inclusive and was our favorite resort yet! We loved everything other than the music and seaweed! Great stay, would return.

Pros: Cleaniness, Friendliness of staff, and the excellent food
Cons: Night life
Location: Great location! lots of things to do. Great shopping, Great Beach activities.....parasailing, jet skiis, Fun tiki hut bars....etc.
From the time we walked in until the time we left, we were treated like Royalty. From Turning down our beds to champagne in the room, they even booked our dinner resv for us every night. The cleaniness of this hotel did more than impress us, it was a 10 Star (out of a five star rating) The Beach was also super clean. We were waited on hand and foot 24/7. The food was fresh and amazing. Better than any other all inclusive we have ever stayed at. And the drinks were also a 10 star! The only stipulation was that we thought there would be more of a night life there in the resort. But the fun stopped about 11 pm every night. So we had to take a taxi into the town of Playa to get into the action. This hotel is definitely above and beyond!

Pros: What was not to like!
Location: It was in Playa Del Carmen where you can shop on 5th Ave, there are Mayan ruins nearby and you can snorkel at the beach and see turtles.
We had the Royal Service so we had our own butler. Everyday there was a surprise in our room like champagne and chocolate covered strawberries. The grounds were beautiful, we could listen to the sounds of the ocean while soaking in our jacuzzi on our balcony. The food was good and they went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed. I couldn't have asked for a better experience! We went during the week so the resort was quieter.

Party All Star is a very cool site packed with real sexy amateur girls, and when I say amateur, I mean so amateur that many of them have never modeled nude before at all. Rene is a good example, she's super sexy and curvy, a platinum blonde with big boobs and a big ass too, sort of like the girls you see in a rap music video. She's super hot, and she's just making her first appearances online. Want to see her get naked? Talk her into it!
Shannyn Xo
Here's another sexy new cutie for you guys to check out. Shannyn XO is a good friend of Lily XO, and as you can tell from the matching same names they are part of the same group of amateur girls. Shannyn is a sexy one for sure, with really nice bigger boobs and she loves to give deep cleavage shots. She does live shows and such on her site too, she's really quite new to all of this and rather hot!
Sexy Kimberly Fox
I love checking out multimodel and user submitted sites looking for sexy amateur girls, Kimberly Fox is one of those perfect finds, a 21 year old shop clerk who is actually pretty shy, but decided to show it all off for Naughty Mag. You can tell she's a bit shy to start out, but in the end, this girl is showing off her favorite sex toy and you know where that is going. Really nice natural body and nice tits, she's the perfect little piece to wake up to in the morning!
Hello Hailey Rose
The internet is packed with sexy amateur girl models, plenty of little hotties, usually skinny girls with small boobs and such. Well, say hello to Hailey Rose, and her new site Hello Hailey Rose. This girl is NOT petite. Now, that isn't to say she is fat or a BBW, rather Hailey Rose is thick and sexy, a hot real girl with some seriously well placed meet on her bones, a hot body that you will want to explore. Her big firm tits balance nicely against her sexy ass and full thighs, this girl is hot in all directions and ready to play!
Come say hello to Hailey Rose at Hello Hailey Rose – come fall in love!
Newcomer Chase @ NaughtyMag
I love fresh amateur pussy, real girls that certainly aren't models but real girls that you might meet in real life. You might have already met Chase in real life, she's had at least one very interesting job!
Chase used to work at Red Robin. She was the girl in the bird outfit, handing out coupons and shit. She knew that wasn't what she wanted to do, so she took stock of what she had going for her–killer body with a big, bangin' butt? Check. A cute smile? Check. Completely innocent and total Americana look? Double check. That's what landed her in our lap. She's what NaughtyMag is all about. These are her very first nude photos. Be sure to check out the video, too. She's got a five-finger surprise for you.
She's a hotty for sure, that ass is seriously tasty! Download all of Chase's pics and hot video here and enjoy!
Ashley Vallone
Here's another case of a girl I don't know a whole lot about, but her personal site just opened recently and I figured you guys would want to check out this cute blond. her name is Ashley Vallone, and she's damn hot. Most of her stuff is teasing, but even the tour seems to have some implied nudity that suggests this girl might be planning to show more. Either way, her look is hot and sexy, and she has a bunch of updates for a nice new site
Check out sexy Ashley Vallone here and find out about this sexy blond!
Lily Xo
Here's a great case of a hot and naughty girl that I know absolutely fuck all about, but discovery is what makes things fun, right? I do know that Lily XO is a hotty, a girl with a nice pair of tits, a really sexy ass, and some fairly well placed tattoos. She's a naughty one and her site promises plenty of updates and live cam action too. I can't tell if she is tease or please, but damn, she knows how to drive you wild! Her webcam looks hot!
Kate Winn
Some of the oddest things show up in the amateur world, and this new zip set from a girl named Kate Winn pretty much takes the cake. It's a JOI or JOE video, which is a jerk off encouragement video. Like we need it, right? Seriously though, there is something very hot about a sexy and buxom blond working a cock shaped dildo and encouraging you to cum for her. This girl is totally fresh, this set is totally new, and she's pretty wild – I hope she gets her own site, but hey, with a hotty like this, we take what we can!
Download the Kate Winn jerk off encouragement video in this wild zipset here!
Vivi Spice
Vivi Spice is a girl that probably should have her own sexy solo site, but instead she is part of the mix at Pacino's Adventures. She's a super sexy Latina with a great smile, nice natural body, and an ass that won't quit. This girl is certainly hot enough and sexy enough to keep any man entertained, a spicy piece of ass with a great look and a happy attitude – this girl loves to show off. Pacinos Adventures has a lot of sets of this hotty, she's certainly worth checking out!
See more of Vivi Spice at Pacinos Adventures, this girl is smoking hot!
Keira Lee
I sort of surprised myself when I realized I had never talked about Asian amateur girl Keira Lee on this site. This cutie from the Philippines is a real hotty, one of those exotic looking girls that you turn around hard to check out a second time. She's got a great body, and her site shows progression because after these shots were taken, she has had a minor boob job (not huge thankfully, just fuller). She's got a hot look, nice brown nipples that you want to lick for hours, and she is more than willing to tease you like mad. Her site has plenty of updates and she loves to play!
Check out more on Keira Lee's official personal hot and naughty site here!

Water Adds Magic
From droplets to deluges, water adds magic to your vacation fun!
The first moment the public saw Mickey Mouse in Steamboat Willie, he was sailing happily on water. Later, in his most lauded performance, a little too much water challenged him—from all those brooms in Fantasia. And on your Disneyland Resort vacation, water transports you, makes you laugh, pampers you and simply adds shimmering beauty around most every corner.
Walt Disney and his Imagineers discovered water is a great way to take Guests through whatever they could dream up for them. When it opened in 1964 at the New York World's Fair, "it's a small world" took Guests along "the happiest cruise that ever sailed." Its success led to developing Pirates of the Caribbean as a boat ride, through the escapades of those rascally scalawags—who are now joined by Captain Jack Sparrow—on the classic Disneyland Park attraction.
Of course, water is part of the fun throughout Disneyland Park. Take an ol' log past the homes of Brer Rabbit and friends up Chickapin Hill—then scream down as you plunge into the Laughin' Place at Splash Mountain. Fun and surprises abound on the Rivers of America: Pirate's Lair on Tom Sawyer Island, Sailing Ship Columbia, Davy Crockett Explorer Canoes and Mark Twain Riverboat—plus on special nights, the rivers are the setting for the magnificent extravaganza, Fantasmic!, in which Sorcerer Mickey tangles with dastardly villains.
Great water marvels are almost everywhere
You encounter watery adventures as you sail on the mysterious, mirthful Jungle Cruise—though, depending on his or her jokes, you might decide it's your Skipper who is "all wet"! A magical fountain summons the birdmobile in Walt Disney's Enchanted Tiki Room. The "rain, rain, rain comes down, down, down" at The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh.
Waves of wonder even spill into Star Tours—The Adventures Continue, now in 3-D, with more than 50 different ways to help "the Force" save the galaxy—including one of the favorite scenes in the watery world of Naboo. One of the most delightful experiences, in or out of the water, is the Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage, inspired by Disney˙Pixar's Finding Nemo, which takes you into our little pal's world with Dory, Marlin, Crush and the gang. You can even "wave" to Ariel and her oceanic friends in the Mickey's Soundsational Parade on Main Street, U.S.A.!
Disney California Adventure Park may have taken the imaginative use of water to another level of excitement. One of the best examples is The Little Mermaid~Ariel's Undersea Adventure, an enchanting Audio-Animatronics experience that takes you through magic, mirth and music. Speaking of undersea friends, you might find yourself chatting with the dude of the deep himself at Turtle Talk with Crush, inspired by Disney˙Pixar's Finding Nemo.
And just as an FYI, watch out for silly little sprays to make you laugh—from fun-maker Fozzie Bear—at Muppet★Vision 3D, and when you score some points as you ride through Toy Story Mania!
How about some fun along the waterfront?
Paradise Pier offers all of its fun along a sparkling Paradise Bay, from all—time favorites like the California Screamin' roller coaster to whimsical additions like Silly Symphony Swings!—a salute to the classic Mickey Mouse cartoon, The Band Concert—and Goofy's Sky School, where you'll take a rollicking ride as your "flight exam!"

Huge Simpsons fan.... I saw that article yesterday, I've heard of product placement in movies but this is pretty funny....
i had a friend bring home a squishee the other day, lol
It's a great idea and excellent cross-promotion. Let's just hope the movie script is better than the show has been over the last decade or so.
yeah, specially this season. it's just weak...i'm hoping they just were spending too much time on the movie.
Does whatever a Spider-Pig does!!!!
I saw one the other day with about a 20 minute wait to get inside......I kept driving.
I'm SEVERELY disappointed in the absence of Duff. Even though it'd be BMC-ish, I'd buy a case of it just to have it. The closest thing I have is a deck of Simpsons playing cards that came in an oversized Duff can container.
Yeah...I'm a huge fan, and I think I remember the precise moment when they jumped the shark. I don't remember the episode name or what the main subject was, but at the end of the episode, they got kidnapped and were used as slaves on some crazy alice-in-wonderland island, and they were on hallucinogenics as far as I could tell. That was the moment when I knew...it was all downhill from there. The last episode that I really lost my junk laughing at was the one where they all go to manhattan to get back Homer's car. And that was a LONG time ago.

I finely took the advice and RELAXED. I made Yoopers Dead Guy clone twice in a row. I figured as a noob with 4 batches under my belt. Back to back with the same recipe would help with my process. Here is how it went....
7PM Sat.. Had a Homebrew or two
8pm gathered gear and washed it out
8:30PM had more Homebrew
7am Coffee
Used an APP on my phone to calc water volumes and temp. Rather then try to guess how much will boil off.
7:30 hot water in to warm mash run
8AM began heating mash water and started mash hit temps right on for the first time.
10:30am sparge completed didn't care about volume or readings figured the APP would be smarter then me.
10:45am Relaxed.... went to Costco figured I could start the boil when I got back.
1pm Relaxed had a Homebrew and started the boil.
2:30pm Chilled it to about 100.
Put it in the fermenter to finish cooling
3pm went to a birthday party and had a couple homebrews.
8pm still over 90deg figured I pitch it in the AM
Relaxed and had a couple homebrews...
5AM got up for work took a SG reading 1.066 perfect!!! pitched my yeast...
I could not beleve that by just not being in a hurry every thing went great! This had to be the most relaxing brew I have made. It only took three days to make it.
I learned the hard way that you can never rush a brew session or bad things happen. I can multi-task and do house cleaning or lawn mowing while brewing, but I still have to make sure I have the required time or I get rushed and stressed when the wife is pissed at me for taking so long.
Stout Faucet: Guinness Clone
Faucet 1: Tongue Twister IIPA
Faucet 2: American White
Faucet 3: Wheat #2
Satellite Faucet: Walking Dead Guy Ale
Primary 1/2: Simcoe Pale Ale
Secondary 1/2: What You Do IPA
Upcoming Brews: Belgian Pale Ale
Total gallons brewed: 470 gallons
I love this idea!
After leaving the wort to cool for so long, do you still aerate before pitching?
A little irreverence is good for the soul
Good question about re-aerating after letting it sit over night. I probably would.
Does it do any harm leaving it to cool over night? Everything I have read suggests cooling as fast as possible and pitching ASAP.
I typically partial-chill as groundwater temps aren't low enough to chill entirely. I plan to get a pond-pump and use the bucket o' ice-water method in the near future, though. Cold break is important, as mentioned, to removal of DMS, clarity, and getting yeast innoculated ASAP to overpower any potential infections.
That said, I've done this method a few times and suffered no ill effects.
_________________________________Skal! Den Faaborg Bryggeri
Now my ADHD is kicking in. It's been 24hrs with no sign of fermentation I pitched about 1/4 yeast cake from my 5wk old deadguy. I have two more 1/4 cakes washed in the fridge. It would be very easy to warm one and dump it in. I know I know "it can take up to 48hrs"
I couldn't help myself. I had to pop the lid so I let a jar of washed yeast come to too temp. Sprayed the bucket with star San and cracked the lid. And inside I found...... Fermentation.
Quick! Whip up another batch of beer for that yeast!
Yeast starter + another 3 day brew = perfect timing... Coincidence? I think not.

Yeast were probably pretty stressed, as that's serious underpitching, according to MrMalty (and assuming it's a 5 gallon batch). They might have petered out before they finished. What is the current temp? You could try bringing it up some (say around 70°F) and gently swirl the fermenter to re-suspend the yeast. Also, what was your mash temp? If you mashed high, this might be about as low as you're gonna get. We really need more details to narrow it down any further.
It was a extract kit... i steeped the grains in 152 degree water... I will try giving the batch a swirl and giving it a few more days... I also used 9 lbs of LME and some sugar to get the OG up, which was called for... Will keep you posted. Thanks!

Dallas acquires J. Morrow from Pens
The Dallas Stars, parent club of the AHL's Texas Stars, announced sunday that they have acquired defenseman Joe Morrow and a fifth-round pick in the 2013 NHL Draft from the Pittsburgh Penguins in exchange for forward Brenden Morrow and a third-round pick in the 2013 NHL Draft.
"We had a great opportunity to acquire a young, top-end defenseman in Joe Morrow and we are delighted to add him to our organization," said Dallas general manager Joe Nieuwendyk. "We identified Joe as an outstanding prospect and a target for acquisition if ever available, and we feel he can solidify our blue line for the foreseeable future."
Joe Morrow, 20, was Pittsburgh's first-round selection (23rd overall) in the 2011 NHL Entry Draft. He has earned four goals and 11 assists for 15 points in 57 games with Wilkes-Barre/Scranton in the AHL this season, his first professional campaign. Morrow was recalled by Pittsburgh on Feb. 10, but has still not skated in an NHL game.
The 6-foot-1, 204-pound defenseman spent four full seasons playing for the Portland Winterhawks in the Western Hockey League (WHL), where he increased his point totals in each of his final three seasons with the team, earning 31, 49 and 64 points, respectively. During the 2011-12 season, he ranked second among all WHL defensemen in scoring with 64 points (17g, 47a) and finished as a WHL First-Team All-Star.
Additionally, the Edmonton native helped lead his club to the WHL Finals, earning 17 points (4G-13A) in their playoff run, which was tied for the most by any Portland defenseman.

Lakers back on championship track
If their uniforms said anything other than "Lakers" on the front, the only things that would matter would be their five-game winning streak in the playoffs, their opportunity to close out a second-round sweep of the Utah Jazz and their pending third consecutive trip to the conference finals.
It's because they do wear purple and gold, and because any season that doesn't add to the banner collection in Staples Center is considered a failure, that we continue to ask if it will be enough to win another championship.
The judges might make deductions when scoring L.A.'s routine because its two road victories have come by a total of two points. The Lakers were within tenths of a second, and a couple of fortuitous bounces of tapped rebounds, from facing a Game 7 against the Oklahoma City Thunder or a potential series-evening game against the Jazz.
"It doesn't matter," Kobe Bryant said. "You've just got to win the games. Gritty, ugly, blowouts or not, you've just got to find a way to win."
The way to win in the playoffs is by defending and rebounding and the Lakers are the top team in the playoffs in rebounds, blocked shots and opponent field goal percentage. Add to that the apparent rediscovery of Ron Artest's shot and you know the reason Bryant had that smirk on his face after Wes Matthews' last-second tap bounced off the rim and the Lakers escaped with a victory in Game 3.
"We're getting there," Bryant said. "Every series we just try to get better each series. That's all we're trying to do here. I feel like we're a much better team now than we were in the Oklahoma series."
To be specific, they're a much better team because of the Oklahoma City series, when the Thunder's athleticism and growing confidence put the defibrillator paddles to the Lakers and jolted their hearts back to a playoff-level rhythm.
Without any grandiose fanfare, the Lakers have arrived. They're back to their regularly scheduled programming, using the same method that made them the league's best team back in November. They are the only team with two 7-footers in the starting lineup and the only team with Kobe.
And Kobe is finally close to being Kobe again. He has scored at least 30 points in each of the past four games and is shooting 54 percent in that span. He's looking like the guy who was on track for the highest field goal percentage of his career until he broke a bone in his finger, until he sprained his ankle and until his knee started bothering him.
Bryant says he won't be back to 100 percent, but he can get to 90. The three days off between Games 2 and 3 did him a world of good, and if the Lakers finish off the Jazz on Monday night, they won't start the conference finals until the weekend.
The Jazz will put up a fight -- "They're a trench team," Lakers coach Phil Jackson said -- but even with Andrei Kirilenko back in Game 3, they just don't have enough to beat the Lakers.
Looking ahead to the next round, the undersized Phoenix Suns await after they swept the San Antonio Spurs. The Suns are a favorable matchup for the Lakers, and are probably the team the Lakers most wanted to face from that side of the bracket, considering L.A. won the regular-season series 3-1 and the Spurs, Mavericks and Trail Blazers each beat the Lakers the last time they played.
The Lakers are far from invincible. Kyle Korver became the latest reserve player to single-handedly outscore the Lakers' bench when he poured in 23 points on Saturday. The Lakers can't seem to get everything going at once, and the emergence of Artest and a breakout performance by Derek Fisher in Game 3 was necessary when Andrew Bynum didn't score and Lamar Odom had only eight points, his seventh single-digit output in nine playoff games.
But the Lakers don't need everyone at all times, just enough on occasion.
"You have to have three guys playing on offense at least," Jackson said. "You can't just have Kobe and everybody else feasting off what he does."
Pau Gasol had 17 rebounds. Artest made 4 of 7 3-pointers. It kept the Lakers right in the game and allowed Bryant and Fisher to go all "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom" on the Jazz with two killer 3s in the final minute.
The Lakers haven't been as impressive as the Orlando Magic, who have humbled the Atlanta Hawks and have the size to match up with the Lakers' front line and a point guard to exploit the Lakers' greatest vulnerability. The Cleveland Cavaliers also have big men to battle the Lakers up front.
But if the Lakers were to lose in the NBA Finals, it would be because a better opponent came along, not because they self-destructed. They're as ready as they're going to get.

Conditions must be right for microfracture knee surgery How and when microfracture surgery works on knees
Q. We keep reading about different athletes who have had microfracture surgery for their knee, some of whom have come back to play greatly and others have come back but continued to have knee problems. What is microfracture surgery?
A. In the knee joint, there are two types of cartilage. The more frequently injured type of cartilage in an athlete is the meniscal cartilage, which is a C- or O-shaped shock absorber between the two bones that act as a cushion. When the meniscus tears, this can usually be fixed and in most circumstances the athlete can return at a relatively high level within one to four months, depending on the size and orientation of the tear.
The second type of cartilage, known as articular cartilage, lines every bone in our body. This is best pictured as the rubbery stuff on the end of a chicken bone. If a divot of the articular cartilage occurs down to the underlying bone, this is by definition an area of osteoarthritis.
Microfracture surgery has limited applications but it is used for defects usually a half inch or smaller by making holes in the bone at the bottom of the defect, attempting to allow a fibrocartilage to grow in and fill in the space. The size and the location of the articular cartilage defect frequently determines the likelihood of success of the procedure.
A recent study in professional athletes revealed that 40 percent of the athletes who received microfracture surgery return to play at their previous level, 40 percent return to play in a diminished capacity and 20 percent were unable to return to professional sports. Even if successful, the fibrocartilage that fills the defect is not as durable as the original articular cartilage and can break down.
There is a great deal of research being done in this country and throughout the world for this particular problem in an effort to re-grow articular cartilage in a less invasive manner and with a higher rate of success.

The Sydney University professor suspended over racist emails has taken legal action against the website that published them.
The Federal Court has ordered online news site New Matilda not to publish further details about Barry Spurr's leaked emails, which referred to Prime Minister Tony Abbott as an "Abo-lover" and made references to "Mussies" and "Chinky-poos".
Professor Spurr, who was also a consultant to the Federal Government's national English curriculum review, was widely criticised over the emails after New Matilda published extracts last week.
Lawyers for Professor Spurr argued the publication of the emails breached the Privacy Act, and the court granted an injunction preventing publication of any more details before another court hearing on Thursday.

A professor accused of sending racist and sexually abusive emails has been suspended by the University of Sydney.
University of Sydney Professor Barry Spurr, consultant to the Federal Government's national English curriculum review, referred to Prime Minister Tony Abbott as an "Abo-lover" and Nelson Mandela as a "darky".
A poetry specialist, Professor Spurr defended the emails, telling news website New Matilda they were mainly to one recipient and were part of a "whimsical" game.
In a statement, the University of Sydney said "Professor Spurr [was] suspended, effective immediately, from teaching and engaging in any other university business and is precluded from attending any university campus while the matter is investigated and dealt with."

The slogan of "love it or leave" so famously plastered on an Aussie flag singlet at Woolworths this week is not patriotic, but something sadder, paranoid and uncertain
The truth of "love it or leave it" lies here: this is not a consensus conclusion but the angry protest of a minority who feel their view of what constitutes "Australia" is under challenge.
It rankles not so much because it's racist, or bigoted, but because it is so weirdly distant from the truth: a hostile defence of an idea of this country that never truly existed.

What is eating my peppers and marigolds?
I planted four different types of pepper plants in my vegetable garden and overnight they were stripped bare the stalk. Okra seedlings in the same garden have been eaten up, but the tomatoes, squash, and cucumbers have not been bothered. There is a series of shiny, webbish lines on the soil around the base of the plants after they've been stripped. Apparently, the same pest chewed up my marigolds in another garden bed because the same webby stuff is on the soil around those stripped stalks.
Any idea what this is, and how to get rid of it? I'm looking forward to getting some more peppers planted but I don't want to just keep feeding this thing!
My first thought was slugs, but the trail looks like it's made of a web rather than slime up close. Also, the trail circles the plant a few times. I do have slugs around after this wet spring, but this doesn't look like any slug trouble I've had before (six years with this garden).
It also seems like quick work for slugs - literally overnight. The slugs have been working on my cucumbers' leaves, but they're not stripping the plants or significantly hindering their growth.
Planted a single pepper plant and used the DE last night - SUCCESS! The plant hasn't been chewed on at all. I guess it was the slugs!
Thanks, Susan!
