Viewing All
I have the Estrella pink color, which is very nice looking (more so than I expected). Great coverage on the butt and a wonderful fit that doesn't fail at its job to cover even when being active.
I absolutely love these bottoms, they fit perfect while playing beach volleyball, roller blading, and hiking! Being that the material NEVER stretches out during use you never have to worry about the piece moving around when you don't want it to. I am 5'5'' & 135 lbs (4-6 size pants) and found the mediums to be a little sung.
These bottoms are perfect, no weird bagginess or uncomfortable stitching. The only compliant I have is that the elastic around the top is thin, so it really cuts into your skin, which could cause muffin top issues if you get them too small. Otherwise, love them and will definitely buy them again.
I heart patagonia bikinis. I ordered this suit after loving the one I bought in a different print last year. This year I got the ombre bali blue...the print is gorgeous (and the colors hold well even in salt water judging from last year's suit). The bottoms are very flattering in the way they sit across the hips. Also, they are great for people who tend to be more active in a bathing suit. I have a giant butt from cycling, but the suit bottom stayed in place even while running during a game of ultimate frisbee on the beach.
I love the top of this suit but these bottoms fit funny. They are really wide at the top so I got an XS, but they seem to skimpy. So then I got a S but then they are baggy. Maybe I'm just between sizes somehow but they just fit weird.

We need your help. Many of you already know that puppy mill dogs endure horrible lives of suffering and neglect. But because of a loophole in the Animal Welfare Act, puppy mills that sell puppies exclusively online operate without any federal regulation at all. Dogs are suffering, and it's time we put an end to the hidden inhumane treatment.
Please Help!
Right now we have a chance to help close this loophole forever. The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) is considering a rule that would regulate online puppy sellers, and we're fighting hard to make sure it's effective. But we need your help today!
Please tell the USDA to start licensing and inspecting puppy mills that sell dogs online. We have a limited time to fight for this rule.
You can also help by supporting our team's work to fight for stronger laws for animals across the country and our other life-saving efforts by making a small donation today.
Please start having online selling of animals to be licensed and inspected of the puppy mills they come from. Ooooor get rid of puppy mills all together by making them illegal!
These animals show us love unconditionally! Show them love back!
please stop puppy mills. All puppy's want to do is grow up and be loyal to their owners. They love people unconditionally and would never hurt us. They deserve the same love .
Please end the puppy mills, this is so inhumane. How is it that its not against the law!! These poor dogs!! How do these people sleep at night, no conscience at all!!
Please, please STOP this cruelty and inhumane treatment of these poor helpless animals. How could ANYONE allow this to happen. Please take all measures to STOP this now!
I have a bearded collie that was rescued from a puppy mill and she has some serious neurological issues. It starts with the individual who thinks breeding puppies in this way will bring in revenue. The people who buy from the puppy mills think they are getting a great deal, but they have no idea how much inbreeding is done. I am a proponent of adopting dogs, rather than continuing to breed them, so my thoughts are adopt. Any cruelty to an animal is unacceptable as they are looking to us for love, acceptance, caring. The thought of anyone harming an innocent animal makes me very angry, sad and disappointed. Every dog I've ever taken in to love has a different disposition, personality and it is apparent to me they are individuals just like we are. STOP THE CRUELTY!
I call our farm the dog dump resort. People think nothing of bringing these dogs out to this country road and just dumping them be they pups, adults or old age. We take in as many as we can, but there needs to be a moratorium on the ability of people to sell dogs that can procreate and just dumping them to be run over, shot, hunted by wolves or coyotes, and worse abused by humans. If you do not want little ones, spay oir neuter your pets. It is the most humane thing you can do.
Please put an end to puppy mills. No animal deserves this kind of inhumane treatment. STOP THE PUPPY MILLS!!!!
please lets stop all this mills WE ALL KNOW that they are a passive-aggresive torture chambers with the only idea of making a profit at the expenses of this inocent animals....they dont have a choice,they dont have a voice,they are defensless and helpless...you have the power to stop this....DONT LOOK THE OTHER WAY OR DRAG YOUR FEET ABOUT IT lets make this law a reality....dont be a part of this problem be the solution!!!!! if you dont you are just like them and it will be a shame!!!!!!

'Game of Thrones' Star Richard Madden Is a Heroic Hunk – The Daily Swoon
The British are coming! The British are coming! Well, they're coming back to your TV this Sunday when 'Game of Thrones' returns with its third season. And to cap off our celebration of the sexy men of the show, allow us to introduce you to Richard Madden.
Madden plays Robb Stark on the show. His family has been through a lot — his dad was accused of betraying the king after the king died, and on a show with castles and kingdoms, this means you get your head chopped off. So Robb loses his dad, his sisters and brothers are sent on wayward courses unknown, and Robb is left with his mother to try and fight to reclaim the throne.
Like the other six families on the HBO series, the Starks think they deserve the throne. Spoiler: It's not really working out that well for any of them.
Richard is a Scottish actor, and 'Game of Thrones' is his first big break after starring on a few British TV series. He was last known to be dating the beautiful Jenna Louise-Coleman from 'Doctor Who,' and I'm pretty sure I've lost you guys with all this dorky TV talk this week.
So here's something we can all agree on: This dude is hot.

An intranet is a computer network that uses Internet Protocol technology to securely share any part of an organization's information or network operating system within that organization. The term is used in contrast to internet, a network between organizations, and instead refers to a network within an organization. Sometimes, the term refers only to the organization's internal website, but may be a more extensive part of the organization's information technology infrastructure. It may host multiple private websites and constitute an important component and focal point of internal communication and collaboration. Any of the well known Internet protocols may be found in an intranet, such as HTTP (web services), SMTP (e-mail), and FTP (file transfer protocol). Internet technologies are often deployed to provide modern interfaces to legacy information systems hosting corporate data. (Excerpt from Wikipedia article: Intranet)

Anderson Valley: A hidden gem
OXFORD TOWN – It's not exactly "just around the corner" but a trip there is still worth serious consideration for wine lovers. California's Anderson Valley touts approximately 20 wineries along a 15 mile stretch of highway in northern California – each serving up "the personal touch." We may not all be able to fly over for a visit, but we all can drive around the corner for a taste of classic California valley wine. Oxford's "Wine Guy" (John Juergens) shares his thoughts and gives recommendations on Page 16 of this week's issue of Oxford Town. (November 18, 2010, Page 16)

Refactor Lockengine
Table of content:
|Table of Contents
1 Project Description
Student: Wensheng Dou
Mentor: Ralf Joachim
Since Java 5, Java has introduced the java.util.concurrent API , which supports flexible locking constructs, more concurrent mechanism, and many lock-free and thread-safe atomic data structure. But the Castor project has not supported java.util.concurrent API yet. In the Castor JDO module, the LockEngine implements the read/write lock, and use custom lock mechanism. So the LockEngine is very complicated and error-prone. The "Refactor Lock Engine" project will refactor the Castor to support the java.util.concurrent API, and make LockEngine more readable and maintainable, and repair some concurrency bugs.
2 The ideas
2.1 Refactor the ObjectLock class (CASTOR-3085)
The ObjectLock class uses custom mechanism to implement the read/write locks, and it is too complicated and error-prone. I'll use the java.util.concurrent.locks.ReentrantReadWriteLock to refactor the ObjectLock class.
- Refactor some variables' names to make them more intuitive.
- Use HashSet to simplify the LinkedTx.
- Invetigate the meaning of the property _deleted, and then simplify the meaning of the property _deleted (CASTOR-3121)
- Use ReentrantLock and Condition to replace the old wait() and notify(); (CASTOR-3122)
2.2 Refactor the LockEngine class
- LockEngine takes too much responsibility, some functions should be separated.
- Move LockEngine.TypeInfo from an inner to a normal class (CASTOR-3076)
- Extract 'molder' from TypeInfo, LockEngine, OID, and move it into ClassMolderRegistry (CASTOR-3104)(CASTOR-3107)(CASTOR-3106)
- Seperate cache handling which are both handled by TypeInfo and LockEngine (CASTOR-3105)
- Refactor invalidate and exipre (CASTOR-3163)
- LockEngine is too complicated, and there are some concurrency bugs which are difficult to repair, so it should be refactored.
- Eliminate the synchronized on basemolder in in LockEngine.load() (CASTOR-3109)(CASTOR-3119)(CASTOR-3120)
Why: Deadlock causes by sync block in LockEngine.load
(1) Change the oid's meaning, and make it unique for one instance (no matter extended or not). Then one instance just has one oid, just one lock. (CASTOR-3119)
(2) Move registration of entity at TransactionContext to a later point in the process when we already know the correct class? (CASTOR-3120)(CASTOR-3140)(CASTOR-3141)
(3) Just register the entity into TransactionConetxt once. (CASTOR-3148)
- Eliminate double loading of extends hierarchy (CASTOR-3074)
Why: When an extended object is loaded as the base object, the first loading will know what the concrete class is, and then the second loading will load the extended object. It is a performance problem.
Possible Solutions:
(1) When the concrete class is determined, the we return the right objects. (Accepted)
(2) Store the result fields when the first loading finishes, the second loading just molds the concrete instance. (Rejected)
- Eliminate the synchronized on basemolder in in LockEngine.load() (CASTOR-3109)(CASTOR-3119)(CASTOR-3120)
2.3 Remove the EDU.oswego.cs.dl.util.concurrent library (CASTOR-3050)
Since Java 5, Java has introduced the java.util.concurrent API, which supports ReentrantReadWriteLock. But Castor has not used the java.util.concurrent API to improve the performance. The Castor should be compiled on JDK 1.5 (or higher). We should convert the Castor to use java.util.concurrent API, and benefit from the java.util.concurrent package's improvement.
2.4 Replace Hashtable and synchronized HashMap by ConcurrentHashMap to improve cache performance (CASTOR-2940)
In the org.castor.cache.* cache implementations Hashtable and synchronized HashMap will be used as underlying data structures. This issue will use ConcurrentHashMap, ReentrantReadWriteLock and so on to improve the cache performance.
- Improve synchronization/locking at org.castor.cache.* (CASTOR-3154)(CASTOR-3155)(CASTOR-3156)(CASTOR-3158)(CASTOR-3170)
- Add some multithreaded tests for org.castor.cache.hashbelt.* (CASTOR-3176)
- Improve extends hierarchy of caches (CASTOR-3179)
- Use generics at Cache interface (CASTOR-3180)(CASTOR-3186)
2.5 Some other bugs
- ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException occurs when loading an extended object (CASTOR-3065)
- Delete and the insert with same id in the same transaction fails (CASTOR-1044)
- Some inconsistent errors between pom.xml and .classpath (CASTOR-3051)
- A maven building error : castor-xml has dependency on castor-codegen (CASTOR-3048)

Arizona Secretary of State
Arizona State Executives
| Governor • Secretary of State
Attorney General • Treasurer
Superintendent of Public Instruction
Agriculture Director
Insurance Director
Lands Commissioner
Labor Director
Corporation Commission
State Mine Inspector
Arizona's secretary of state is unique, as he or she serves as acting governor when the governor is absent or otherwise unable to serve. This duty is usually fulfilled by the lieutenant governor in other states, an office which Arizona lacks.
Current officeholder
The current secretary of state is Ken Bennett, who was appointed by former Secretary of State Jan Brewer to replace her on January 26, 2009 after she won election as governor. He won election to a full term in 2010, defeating Democratic candidate Chris Deschere.
Before becoming secretary of state, Bennett served four terms in the state Senate, from 1999 to 2007, with the last four as Senate president. Before joining the legislature, he was a member of the Arizona State Board of Education for seven years; he also served on the Arizona Charter Schools Board. His public service career began with election to the Prescott City Council in 1985, during which he was named mayor pro tempore.[1]
The office of secretary of state is established by the Arizona Constitution as part of the state's executive department.
Arizona Constitution, Article 5, Section 1 (Version 2)
|The executive department shall consist of the governor, secretary of state, state treasurer, attorney general, and superintendent of public instruction...
The Arizona Constitution requires all of the officers in the state's executive department, including the secretary of state, to be at least 25 years old, a U.S. citizen for 10 years, and an Arizona resident for five years.
Arizona Constitution, Article 5, Section 2
|No person shall be eligible to any of the offices mentioned in section 1 of this article except a person of the age of not less than twenty-five years, who shall have been for ten years next preceding his election a citizen of the United States, and for five years next preceding his election a citizen of Arizona.
Arizonans elect their secretary of state in midterm election years (2006, 2010, 2014, etc.) for a term of four years. The winner assumes office on the first Monday of January after his or her election. If no candidate receives a majority (over 50%) of the votes, a run-off election is held between the two candidates that received the largest amount. If the two candidates in the run-off receive an equal number of votes, the state legislature chooses a winner.
Arizona Constitution, Article 5, Section 1 (Version 2)
| A. The executive department shall consist of the governor, secretary of state, state treasurer, attorney general, and superintendent of public instruction, each of whom shall hold office for a term of four years beginning on the first Monday of January, 1971 next after the regular general election in 1970.
Term limits
Article 5, Section 1 (Version 2) of the Arizona Constitution limits secretaries of state to two consecutive terms. Former officeholders may run again after they have remained out of office for one full term.
Article 5, Section 8 of the state constitution allows governor may fill vacancies in the office of secretary of state by appointment.[2]
The secretary of state has a variety of administrative duties, mostly related to keeping official records and managing elections. In addition to the responsibilities common to the office in other states, the Arizona secretary of state takes over the office of governor in the event of a vacancy in the office or the incumbent is unable to discharge his duties.[3] This is a duty that most commonly falls to lieutenant governors, but Arizona is one of five states -- along with Maine, Wyoming, New Hampshire and Oregon -- that lack that office.
The secretary also:[4]
- Certifies witnessing officers on documents transmitted to foreign countries (apostilles).
- Keeps the Great Seal of the State of Arizona and affixes it to all official documents.
- Files "official administrative rules of state agencies and maintains the rules of state agencies adopted under the Arizona Administrative Procedure Act."
- Publishes the Arizona Administrative Code and the Arizona Administrative Register
- Registers limited partnerships, foreign partnerships and limited liability partnerships.
- Serves as chief election officer for the state of Arizona. Certifies candidates, ballot measures, election results, and registers lobbyists and campaign finance reports. The secretary also trains election officials and tests voting devices used by individual counties.
- Registers trade names and trademarks, telemarketers, and charitable organizations.
- Commissions notaries public.
- Files oaths of office for judges and supreme court justices and loyalty oaths for gubernatorial appointees.
- Administers the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC).
The secretary of state's office is divided into seven divisions. These are:
- Business Filings
- Notary
- Advance Directives
- Publications
- Rules Filings
- Legislative Filings
- Elections
In 2010, the attorney general received compensation in the amount of $70,000.[5] The exact pay rate of the secretary of state is determined by the Arizona Commission on Salaries for Elective State Officers, which submits recommendations for elective state officer salaries to the governor every even-numbered year. Unless those recommendations are changed or rejected by the governor or the legislature, they became effective on the first Monday of January of the following calendar year. The secretary's compensation will next be adjusted in January 2013.[6]

GREENVILLE - A Clayton couple were ejected from their motorcycle Sunday afternoon after the driver loses control at a curve.
At 2:55 p.m. Darke County deputies, along with New Madison Fire and Arcanum Rescue were dispatched to McNutt Road just east of U. S. Route 127 in reference to the injury accident.
The preliminary investigation revealed that a 2010 Harley Davidson, driven by Ray Homsi, 52 of Clayton, was heading southeast on McNutt Road when he tried to negotiate a curve and lost control of his motorcycle in some loose gravel. Homsi went off the right side of the roadway and struck a mailbox. Homsi and his passenger, Michelle Homsi, 49 of Clayton, were both ejected from the motorcycle.
The Hosmsis were wearing helmets at the time of the accident. The couple was treated by Arcanum Rescue and were transported to Wayne HealthCare where they are in stable condition.
This accident remains under investigation by the Darke County Sheriff's Office.

Pigling Bland Fairy Cake Competition

Winners Create Magic at the Pigling Bland Fairy Cake Competition
Wow what an exciting afternoon Marc and I had enjoying the expertise of keen bakers of all ages creating cake magic in Lindeth Howe Country House Hotel's annual Fairy Cake Competition 2013, ensuring that the 100th birthday celebrations of Beatrix Potter character, Pigling Bland continued to sparkle.
'The Tale of Pigling Bland' was written and illustrated at Lindeth Howe by Beatrix Potter, who once owned the house. For this reason, Pigling Bland was the theme of this year's contest.
We found the contest difficult to judge as all the entries were outstanding but we decided to award first place to an absolutely stunning piece of decorative cake art, which showcased the little pig's story in a truly breathtaking way. The entry montage from Louise Chaplow in the over 18s category included edible figures made from sugar craft of Potter character Pigling Bland and his friend Pig-wig.
Louise has had no formal baking training, but has experimented lately and has made a few cakes for birthday celebrations. Louise who works in Kendal as a Receptionist, said was delighted to take first prize and pick up the Lindeth Howe trophy.
The prize in the under 12s category was won by Marley Brafield, who baked and decorated exquisite fairy cakes. The under 5s category was won by Little Rascals Daycare in Troutbeck.
Marc and I thought the children also showed off their baking talents in a big way, creating fabulous cakes that looked simply mouth-watering. The standard was extremely high this year and we are delighted that Pigling Bland has had such a fuss made over him, I am sure he will "Oink Oinking" all the way around the hotel about his birthday cakes!
The runner-ups in the over 18s category were Christine Dacre (2nd) and the Hapimag team in Bowness (3rd). Runners-up prizes in the under 12s category went to Amy Holden and Neve Brafield.
We are currently coming up with ideas for next year's fairy cake competition theme and its certainly worth entering as you could win either 5 course dinner for 4 in our 2 AA rosette restaurant, Full Afternoon Tea for 4, pictures donated by Marley Photography, Pigling Bland Limited Edition Books, Pigling Bland Toys and Beatrix Potter Gifts from Lindeth Howe. How exciting and keep an eye out for the competition dates for next year!!!
Speak soon.

New Orleans Hornets -5
New Orleans gets somewhat of a lucky break today playing a Warriors team minus Curry and Lee is iffy with a bad ankle himself. That is a lot of firepower to not have on the court at 100 percent especially when they allow over 100 pts a game on the road. Take the Hornets.

Pick: Toronto +120FOR FREE SERVICE PLAYS VISIT THESPREAD.COM
It is hard to believe that after a long lockout, the NHL gets up and running today with a shortened 48-game season. Toronto quickly made a splash by firing Brian Burke as president and general manager, and teams often respond positively the first time on the ice after such a move, so the Maple Leafs may play at an elevated level here. Montreal has made some changes as well, as new coach Michael Therrien will take over, and with such a short prep time for game one, it may take him time to evaluate his team, and establish his own style. The Habs finished as have-nots last year, closing with a 5-16 mark against the East, and may take time to gel with their new coach. Play on Toronto.

Penguins / Flyers Over 6FOR FREE SERVICE PLAYS VISIT THESPREAD.COM
The Pittsburgh Penguins scored easily the most goals in the NHL last season with 282 goals for (the next closest was 269), and they did that without their star player Sidney Crosby for a lot of the year. Look out for Crosby, Neal and Malkin this year as they could put up some big numbers in the shortened season. Not far behind the Penguins were the Philadelphia Flyers who were #3 in the league with 264 goals for. These two teams played each other 6 times last season during the regular season playing to totals of 5, 6, 10, 5, 10, 6. And then they met in the playoffs and had more high scoring games with totals of 7, 13, 12, 13, 5, and 6. Last year only three of their thirteen meetings had fewer than 6 goals. Take note that the OVER is 33-15-5 in the Penguins last 53 games overall, and 14-4-4 in their last 22 road games. The OVER is 12-5-1 in the Flyers last 18 overall and 9-4-1 in their last 14 divisional meetings. When these two meet we see wide open games and, with a lot of hate for one another, usually a lot of powerplay opportunities. I expect another high scoring game between these two Eastern Conference rivals and I will go with the OVER 6 goals.
Nashville Predators -1.5FOR FREE SERVICE PLAYS VISIT THESPREAD.COM
The Nashville Predators finished the season in 4th place in the Western Conference last year with a 48-26-8 record (104 pts) while the Blue Jackets were dead last in the NHL with just 65 points and a 29-46-7 record. The Blue Jackets didn't do much to improve on their team, losing their star forward in Rick Nash to the Rangers who provided a lot of their scoring. The Predators lost an important piece in Ryan Suter but they should be fine with captain Shea Weber on the blue line. Take note the Predators were a solid 26-10-5 on home ice last year while the Blue Jackets were just 12-25-4 on the road. They met six times last year with Nashville winning 5 of the 6 meetings. Just 2 of those 5 wins came by more than 2 goals, but midseason it is tough to get up for games against the leagues worst team. Saturday is different as the Predators will be playing in their home opener and will be fired up regardless of the opponent. Take note that the Predators are 28-3-1 in their last 32 home meetings with Columbus. Getting +175 I will take the Preds on the puck line.

Spurs / Hawks Over 189
The San Antonio Spurs (30-11, 24-16-1 ATS) are one of the highest scoring teams in the NBA and their defense has not been intense on the road, so look for a high scoring game vs. the Atlanta Hawks (22-16, 15-22-1 ATS) at Philips Arena in Atlanta Saturday at 7:05 ET. Each of these teams are playing the second game of a back-to-back, as San Antonio played host to Golden State at home Friday night while the Hawks were in Brooklyn to take on the Nets.
The Spurs have one of the most potent offenses in the league as they rank third in scoring at 104.8 points per game, second in field goal percentage at a blistering 48.7 percent and third in three-point shooting at 39.1 percent. The San Antonio offense is so hot that it even put up 103 points vs. one of the best defenses in the NBA in Memphis on Wednesday, making the Spurs just the fourth team all year to reach 100 points vs. the Grizzlies. San Antonio is tough to defend because it is so deep and so many of the Spurs can hit shots from anywhere on the floor, which is the main reason they have seven players averaging at least nine points per game. Now, the Spurs are playing better defense this year than they did last season, ranking 11th in the league in points against at 96.4 per game. However, there is a large disparity in San Antonio's points allowed at home vs. away, as the Spurs allow only 92.0 points per game at home but 100.1 points per road game. When you add in the 103.6 points the Spurs are scoring themselves away from home, it makes for a rather high road average of 203.7 combined points per contest.
Now the Hawks have been in an overall shooting slump lately that has seen them score 84 points or less in five of their last eight games, but most of those shooting difficulties have come on the road, as Atlanta has exceeded 100 points in each of its last two home games including putting an end to the Nets' seven-game winning streak with a 109-95 win on Wednesday in the first game of a home-and-home series. The Hawks are now down to 17th in the NBA in scoring overall at 95.8 points per game, but that average zooms all the way up to 100.1 points here at Philips Arena while plummeting to 91.5 points on the road. As a result, the 'over' has gone 12-7 in all Atlanta home games. Also, keep in mind that the Hawks scored 109 points against the Nets the other night without the help of leading scorer Josh Smith, who was suspended for one game for conduct detrimental to the team. Smith was expected to rejoin the team on Friday night in Brooklyn.
The Spurs have tended to play high scoring games in the second of back-to-backs, as the 'over' is 10-4-1 in their last 15 games playing without a day off. The 'over' is also 7-3 in the last 10 Atlanta non-conference games.

Washington Wizards vs. Los Angeles Clippers
Play: Washington Wizards
Washington is playing terrific basketball right now; the Wizards have won four of their last five games and they've also covered the pointspread in nine of their last eleven ballgames. John Wall's presence on the court just makes this team a whole lot better; he returned for the Wizards 93-83 win over Atlanta last Saturday night. Washington also has defensive stopper Trevor Ariza and Nene back on the court which makes them a complete team on both ends of the court. "It completely changes the dynamics of this team," Martell Webster said. Washington won in Denver last night 112-108 as 10 ½-point underdogs so they come into this game with a ton of confidence. Los Angeles returns home off a successful 3-game road trip in which they went 3-0 SU and ATS. The Clippers play this home game and then hit the road once again for a game at Golden State on Monday night. Los Angeles isn't going to be too focused for this game against the 8-29 Wizards so asking them to win by 13 points or more is asking a lot. The Clippers have failed to cover the pointspread as double digit favorites in their last two home games; they are just 5-5 ATS in this role this season. Los Angeles has no reason to blowout the Wizards so we'll grab the big points with the confident road underdog in this game on Saturday night.

Art Aronson
Detroit vs. St. Louis
Pick: St. Louis
We have to pay a little bit higher than I normally like to get St. Louis but I think it's worth here. The Blues are a great home team and the Red Wings were not so good away from the motor city last year.
I think we are getting some decent value with the home side Blues team here. The Redwings still get a lot of backing because of past success. I think this looks to be two teams going in different directions with the Blues going up.
The Blues are returning with greater expectations this year after taking huge strides to become one of the best teams in the west last year. This first divisional game against perennial favorite Redwings will likely be a huge test the team will be pumped to pass tonight.
The Blues were the second best home team in the NHL last year with 30 wins to just six regulation losses and five OTL. The Redwings meanwhile, for all their might, were in the bottom half of the league on the road with a below .500 mark in 17-21-3.
St. Louis is one of the bright and upcoming teams in the NHL this year. Very nice of nucleus young players in Alex Pietrangelo, T.J. Oshi and David Backes have nowhere to go but up.
The Redwings meanwhile will have to adjust to life without franchise player Nicklas Lidstrom. The Wings will also miss Brad Stuart on the back end. With Zetterberg, Datsyuk and Bertuzzi all on the declining sides of their career this could be a year of rare mediocrity for the red and white.
The Red Wings won't make it easy on the Blues but I fully expect the home team to get it down here. Take St.Louis with decent payback on the ML.

Portland Trailblazers -4
This is a good spot to jump on the Trailblazers at home. Portland has lost four straight and are coming off a bad loss at home to the Cavaliers on Wednesday. Look for the Trailblazers to come out with a lot of energy in this game as they are playing on 2 days rest and in desperate need of a win to get back on track. The Wizards are coming off a nice win on the road against the Suns, but will be playing their fourth road game in seven days. This is the part of the road trip where teams start to lose focus. There's simply too much value on Portland -4 to pass up a small bet on the home team.

At some point or another nearly every photographer is going to own a 'standard' zoom lens. If their camera has an APS-C sensor then it is going to be something like a 17 or 18mm to 55 or 85mm. This Sigma 17-70mm is right in the middle of this range, but that is the only place where it is in the middle. In all other respects it is among the front runners. Of its type the Sigma 17-70 f2.8-4 DC Macro OS HSM C Canon is well priced, well specified and a good performer.
To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.
To website
The Sigma 17-70mm F2.8-4 DC Macro OS HSM is a premium fast 'normal' zoom for APS-C SLRs, which is designed as an upgrade for photographers who have outgrown the 'kit' zooms typically supplied with camera bodies. It was announced at Photokina 2012, as the first lens in Sigma's new 'Contemporary' category of compact general-purpose zooms for everyday photography. It's a successor to a near identically-named lens from December 2009, the Sigma 17-70mm F2.8-4 DC Macro OS HSM, but is smaller and lighter, uses revised optics, and has a new cosmetic design. Prior to this Sigma made the unstabilised 17-70mm f/2.8-4.5 DC, a lens which was very highly regarded in its time.

Regarding three versions of Sigma 17-70
I'm a Nikon user, and got my Sigma 17-70/2.8-4.5 (first version) when bought my D300.
I was really happy and amazed of how sharp could be that lens, and even I got the Nikon 16-85 VR only to sell it some time later because I liked way more the microcontrast and clarity of the Sigma.
Then the 17-70 OS version showed up, and being so happy with the first version I bought this OS one. But I was shocked because results weren't so good. Tried three copies, and below 35-50 mm field curvature was really a problem even at f/8: focus on the center and get blurried sides, focus on sides and get blurried center. It was so heavy that I almost couldn't believe it, but I was seeing it... A couple of years ago I could test a new sample from a friend that didn't show that field curvature (???), but anyway results weren't that good, my old 2.8-4.5 was still better on corners closing at f/5.6 than the OS at f/8.
And now here comes this C version, and again I'm quite excited about it. Well, not that much now, because when comparing measurements of the three versions at 17 and 24 mm I can see that the first one still delivers sharp corners, but not so the OS nad C versions.
Can wait for real samples, but I have liked to see something different at the wide end in the corners.

Free Picks: Service Plays for Monday, September 16
Re: Free Picks: Service Plays for Monday, September 16
Teddy Covers
Minnesota vs. Chicago
Pick: Minnesota
It's been an ugly season for the Chicago White Sox, but it's gotten even worse here in September. Chicago is 2-15 in their last 17 games and they've been outscored 84-36 so far this month, including 42-7 during their current six game skid after getting swept at home by the Indians over the weekend.
And yet somehow, this team is favored tonight. That gives us a prime opportunity to step in and bet against this sorry squad without laying any juice! The Twins certainly aren't juggernauts, but at least they're competitive, a modest 7-9 in their last 16 games, with six of those seven wins coming at an underdog price. The Twins enjoyed a late game rally to come back and beat Tampa yesterday, a solid boost of positive momentum; something that matters when we're talking about two sub .500 teams just playing out the string.
Twins starter Liam Hendriks has lousy numbers overall, but he's enjoyed great success against this anemic White Sox lineup. In three previous starts against Chicago, Hendriks has thrown a quality outing each time, and he's allowed three earned runs or less in four of his five starts since his callup from AAA back in August. ChiSox starter Erik Johnson has allowed eleven runs in 9.1 innings in his first two big league starts, issuing more walks than strikeouts. The White Sox lost those two games by a combined score of 15-6, and can be expected to lose his start tonight as well.

Philadelphia Phillies -1½
Huge mismatch on the hill in this one with Cliff Lee vs Sam Dyson, who is making his first start in the Majors on the road tonight. Lee is quietly having a great season and has a 4-1 record lifetime against the Marlins. The Phillies have been out of it for a while but he is far from mailing it in with 7 or more IP in 5 of his last 6 starts. His last game against the Fish was a 3 hit shutout which makes me feel more confident taking the run line on this one.
Re: Free Picks: Service Plays for Monday, September 16
Jeff Alexander
LA Angels +135
The A's are rolling, but a LAA club that has won 14 of 17 on the road is showing value at this price considering how good Wilson has been. The Angels are 4-0 in Wilson's last 4 starts, 5-0 in his last 5 road starts, 4-0 in his last 4 starts as an underdog and 3-0 in his last starts against the A's. While it's been a terribly disappointing campaign for the Angels, Wilson has been one of the few bright spots. Look for him to continue his terrific season tonight.

Pittsburgh / Cincinnati Over 40.5
Coming off a pair of nice FREE WINNERS this weekend lets go against the public tonight and GO OVER the total in the Monday Night Game. Pittsburgh is incredibly banged-up and has no running game so its only chance in this one is to let Big Ben throw it early and often. That will slow up the clock and lead to a lot of possessions and scoring opportunities for both teams. Steelers have absolutely owned Cincinnati in this series of late but the shoe is on the other foot this year. Bengals have the better team and will try to put as many points on the board as possible to embarrass their division rival. Paybacks a bitch. Go over.
Re: Free Picks: Service Plays for Monday, September 16
Craig Davis
Free play of the day on the LA Dodgers to exact a little revenge on the Diamondbacks tonight and get back on the winning track despite being swept by the SF Giants.
Granted, the Dodgers might be playing a little soft these days because of their massive lead in the NL West division, but they can't afford to get too complacent as they have a post-season run to get ready for.
I believe they'll get it done with Hyun-Jin Ryu, who was beaten by the D'backs the last time he faced them.
Despite that last loss to Arizona, Ryu is still 13-6 on the season with a 3.07 ERA and he wasn't all that terrible in that game anyhow.
Ryu allowed only three earned runs in a 4-1 loss, throwing 6 1/3 innings without walking a single batter. Yes, he allowed 10 hits and only struck out one, but he wasn't rattled and is looking forward to the rematch.
As for Trevor Cahill, he pitched about like Ryu in his last start vs. the Dodgers, but didn't earn a decision in a 5-3 loss. Since the D'back are basically out of the playoff race, I don't think we'll see his best stuff tonight without the pressing feeling of needing to perform at a high level.
Take the Dodgers at even money as your free play of the day.

Monday free play winner will be the Phillies on the Run Line over the Marlins.
The Marlins just played 12 innings on Sunday, and were unable to come up with a run, as Miami has now dropped 8 of their last 10 as they head to Philadelphia for this Monday date with Cliff Lee and the Phils.
Philadelphia did lose on Sunday to Washington, but the Phillies have still been on the plus side in 6 of their last 9 outings.
Sam Dyson and Cliff Lee are scheduled to make the start in this one, and Dyson will be making his first start of the season after coming out of the bullpen with just 8 innings under his belt.
Lee has found a late-season groove, going 3-0 his last 4 starts, and the southpaw has fanned 30 batters over his last 29 innings pitched.
Philadelphia has won the last 5 games played against Miami, outscoring the Marlins by a 30-9 margin.
This one should not be close.
Phils on the Run Line.

My free winner for tonight is on the Cleveland Indians over the Kansas City Royals, and I want you listing both pitchers: Scott Kazmir and James Shields.
Real quick on this free play, which is a pitching rematch between the hurlers, and a game I have Kazmir getting revenge in from last Thursday. The southpaw lasted just four innings in a 6-2 loss in facing Shields at Cleveland. It was the fifth time over eight starts Kazmir has lasted five innings or fewer. Plus, this has been the case in three of his four starts against Kansas City in 2013, during which he has a disappointing 4.43 ERA.
Well, I'm under the belief this game here is about put-up or shut-up!
With the wild card race in the American League heating up, and these two embroiled in the first of three crucial games, Kazmir has no choice but to produce his absolute best since Cleveland comes in a half-game out of a wild card spot; Kansas City, meanwhile, is 3-1/2 games behind.
The Indians are on a nice run, though, having won nine of 12 overall after completing a four-game sweep at the Chicago White Sox yesterday.
I'll list both and go with the road dog and revenge theory.

My free play for Monday night is on the Oakland Athletics, minus the money against the Anaheim Angels. And yes, I still - and always call them the ANAHEIM Angels - cause that's where they play. They don't play in Los Angeles, it takes an hour to get to Los Angeles, especially in that traffic, and they don't deserve to use another city's name. So if you're wondering - there's your answer!
And tonight the Athletics - which plays in Oakland, and that's why they call themselves Oakland - are going to enjoy pouncing their American League West rivals. Oakland has won 16 of 20 and is on top of the standings, having increased its lead in the division to a season-best 6-1/2 games with 13 to play after taking three straight from second-place Texas this past weekend.
I won't list the pitchers cause the momentum is on the Athletics' side.
Oakland is in on winning runs of 6-0 against the A.L. West, 5-0 versus southpaws and 37 of 54 at home. Take the A's tonight.

My free play on Monday night is on the Tampa Bay Rays laying the money at home against the struggling - and fading - Texas Rangers, who have lost six in a row.
I know we're talking about TWO struggling teams, and I know they both have the exact same record at 81-67 - but the Rays are in a much better place right now.
In addition to losing six straight, the Rangers have gone 2-11 this month to fall into a tie with the Rays at 81-67, and one-half game ahead of the Cleveland Indians, in the wild-card race. The Rays are 7-14 in their last 21 contests and have won three of four after blowing a 3-0 lead at Minnesota on Sunday and lost.
So, the Rays are struggling less than the Rangers. And for Texas to have to travel to Tampa Bay, it's just bad news. The Rangers have gone six games without a home run, their longest drought since 1995, and the Rays need one more win to clinch their sixth straight winning season.
My money is on Tampa Bay.

Steelers vs. Bengals
Play: Over 40.5
Expect the Steelers offense to rebound from Last week when they were only able to score 9 points vs Tennessee. Look for Big Ben to pass a lot. On defense the Steelers will give up passing yards and the Bengals now have the weapons on offense to score. In Today's High scoring NFL 40 is a relatively low Total.

Pittsburgh vs. Cincinnati
Take: Cincinnati -6.5
We didn't release this play to our clients because it looked like the number was locked in at 7. Since there has been a slight drop in the number, we'll release it as our Monday Free Play. The Steelers are ravaged with injuries and their banged up offensive line will have their hands full all night with a Bengals D that is much better than they played last week against the Bears. This marks the first time since the 2006 season that the Bengals are favorite over Pittsburgh and we expect a huge effort from them tonight on both sides of the ball in front of a ramped up crowd at Paul Brown Stadium. If they can cut down on the turnovers tonight (3 last week vs. Chicago); Cincinnati should roll over the Steelers tonight in the Queen City.

What is red yeast rice?
Red yeast rice is rice that has been fermented by the red yeast, Monascus purpureus. It has been used by the Chinese for many centuries as a food preservative, food colorant (it is responsible for the red color of Peking duck), spice, and an ingredient in rice wine. Red yeast rice continues to be a dietary staple in China, Japan, and Asian communities in the United States, with an estimated average consumption of 14 to 55 grams of red yeast rice per day per person.
Red yeast rice also has been used in China for over 1,000 years for medicinal purposes. Red yeast rice was described in an ancient Chinese list of drugs as useful for improving blood circulation and for alleviating indigestion and diarrhea.
Recently, red yeast rice has been developed by Chinese and American scientists as a product to lower blood lipids, including cholesterol and triglycerides.
What is the present status of red yeast rice?
Small scale studies using pharmaceutical-grade red rice yeast have continued to demonstrate efficacy and safety. However, in the United States it is no longer legal to sell supplements of red yeast rice that contain more than trace amounts of cholesterol lowering substances. For example, the active ingredients of red rice yeast have been removed from Cholestin marketed in the United States. (Hypocol, another product containing red yeast rice is no longer being sold in the United States.)
The reasons the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has ruled that it is illegal to sell red yeast rice that contains more than trace amounts of the cholesterol-lowering substances and to promote red yeast rice for lowering cholesterol levels.

Naas Olivier has been given strict instructions by the Stormers coaching staff to kick the ball out at all costs against the Blues.
Speaking to keo.co.za from the Stormers' team hotel in Auckland, Olivier admitted that his tactical kicking is crucial to the upset victory the Cape side seek.
And the warning from the Stormers coaching staff is clear, "find touch or die".
"The one area of my game I can improve is my tactical kicking," Olivier admitted. "I'm going to have to show that this weekend, and I have to kick the ball out at all costs with wingers like Joe Rokocoko around. I have a very important role to play."
Olivier is comforted by the presence of the experienced Jean de Villiers outside him. De Villiers calls the Stormers plays and constantly communicates with Olivier.
"Having Jean there helps a lot. When there's an instance in the game when I'm not sure what to do, he always has an answer. His vision just makes it so much easier and it takes so much pressure off. He makes a huge difference."
The other aspect of Olivier's game that will receive intense examination is defence, and the Leopards 10 acknowledges his channel will be busier than a long-tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs.
"We can't rush up too quickly against a side that has so many steppers, but obviously we need to keep our line. If we have the numbers on them, then we can close their space quickly. Anyway, it's been emphasised this week that the Blues have nothing on us. The only way we will lose is if our defence is not up to the standards we expect."

Best Uses
Comments about Kenda Kross Supreme Tire:
Running these as well as 700x40C Kenda Happy Mediums on my CX bike for training. These have much better grip in really wet and loose conditions, however they also have much more rolling resistance than the happy mediums at the same pressure. Over all it's a good tire and behaves very predictably on gravel and pavement as well
Comments about Kenda Kross Supreme Tire:
This tire gets great traction in terrible conditions. I could hear it gripping the loose sod and ripping the grass out in the turns.
I had no problem seating these on Bontragers or on Stans.
Note that these tires do not have a round profile - the knobs on the edges flatten out the tread.
I run it up front in all conditions.
Comments about Kenda Kross Supreme Tire:
This tire is the hardest tire I have ever owned to seat correctly. It takes about an hour of hit and miss to finally get all the wobble out of it. All the other tires over the last 20 years take seconds to put on and this one takes at least two beers!

12-11, 24-14, 8-17, 18-20, 20-17
On a night of drama in the EuroChallenge, Tofas Bursa continued the exciting trend with a riveting 82-79 overtime success against a crestfallen KRKA Novo Mesto in Group A.
In a game which will be remembered by those who witnessed it for quite some time, both teams went for the jugular during the extra period and amassed a mind-boggling 37 points during the last five minutes in a bid to come out on top.
It were the Turkish hosts who prevailed - although they will be wondering why they allowed themselves to be put through such an ordeal having been soundly in control earlier in the game at 40-27.
Nevertheless, a 17-4 run by the Slovenians tied the scores up, and matters were still level at 59-59 with just under ninety seconds of regulation remaining.
Domen Lorbek looked to have landed the killer blow for KRKA Novo Mesto with a three-pointer with 38 seconds left, but Steven Burtt replied in kind to ensure both teams were locked again - and he even had the chance of winning the game with another triple attempt.
But, overtime was required and after a strong opening burst, Tofas managed to take the win, with Burtt going on to show his cool and ice the decisive free-throws.
He finished with 19 points and seven assists whilst Lorbek had 18 points and five assists for the losing team.
Tofas player Austin Nichols"It wasn't my night at the begining. I tried to do better after that I regained my confidence and I made the shots. We are happy to win the game."
Tofas head coach Ahmet Cakı"We usually play bad third quarters like today. We lost our ryhtm when we play with more rotation. We got a lot of faul trouble. We must to learn play better at third quarter. After the down by one, it was important to regain our position and win the game.
KRKA head coach Aleksander Sekulic"In the first half we played worse than we thought. We fought in the second half and had a chance to win. We made bad mistakes. We expected a tough game, Tofas is a good team."
KRKA player Jakov Vladovic"In the first half we played a little soft. We let Tofas up by ten. In the second half we played though defence. We played faster and harder and because of that we caught up to Tofas."

I once ate pressed duckling at a restaurant in France named La Tour d'Argent, and before the ducks arrived, a haughty French captain handed each of us at the table a certificate with a number on it. The certificate was the official number of each person's duck. Before they went to meet their maker, the ducks each had a little metal tag with a number tied around their tiny ankles near their cute little webbed feet.

Giorgio for Men has unbeatable bang for buck - a timeless masterpiece for a pittance AND they even managed a decent reformulation.
Thread: The Best Cheap Fragrances Ever?
Now, we are all currently on a site dedicated to fragrances.
So be default we are not the most common of noses to even start.
This means that of course we are mostly here for the nitty gritty,
The Creeds, Amouges Bond No. 9s Frederic Malle etc.
but what are the best CHEAP fragrances on the market today? stuff that is preferably under $30 - $50
stuff that even though they can be considered cheap most definitely go over and above what they should be
whether it be in performance practically or just the other all smell.
the obvious one is Cool Water however for me it would be "Pole Position - David Coulthard":
Honestly i would love to see this fragrance get more praise. i'm sure it's a rip off of something but i haven't smelt what the inspiration to this fragrance is if you know, please tell. but it has a very special place in my heart and i am absolutely not ashamed to have it standing side by side a niche fragrance. It is very unique as a cheapy and is rather boosy (think whisky and gin) easily a perfect signature scent for winter and i feel uite daring for a cheap scent as i could see people not liking it. I think it's got enough sweetness to keep everybody happy but i think it truly has a charm which alot of other cheap fragrances lack greatly. the projection and longevity are above average for a cheapy i'd say a good 5 -6 hours on longev. and a pretty nice scent cloud with proj. It certainly does not stick to the skin.
So are there any cheap fragrances that you are not ashamed to stick your hands up and declare your admiration for it?
thanks, George

Giorgio for Men has unbeatable bang for buck - a timeless masterpiece for a pittance AND they even managed a decent reformulation.
That's an illusive category. In my humble opinion, it is all about finding a fragrance you like at a good price. I found 'Rive Gauche' for $42 today, Jil Sander is $33, Boadicea 'Reviving' $63 etc.
A fragrance that's always cheap, but admirable... ...let's see... 'Body Kouros' is almost always under $35 (1.7oz ) and the scent is phenomenal.

For men:
Puig Agua Lavanda, very cheap. Absolutely sparkling, energizing yet calming, old-fashioned yet unique enough to be novel, lavender classic cologne. Re-bottled and sold at a higher price, few would object to paying extra in a blind smell test.
Some would snobbishly disagree or perhaps just don't like the style, but most of the classic Aramis line is inexpensive but with enigmatic blends. Perfumer Bernard Chant's work for the brand is not to be missed! Aramis has been disserviced by associations with people's fathers and grandfathers and by it being a very strong fragrance. If one has no preconcieved notions and wears a late 70s Aramis comp applied sparingly (and that someone has style and confidence) hmm, worn in leather jacket perfection could result. Tougher and less nonsense than most niches that aspire to similar, and this one did it first!
For women (comps men can also wear):
Dana Tabu, pre-rootbeer reform: archtypal oriental with heady patchouli drydown that avoids the hippie cliche with a rebel booziness yet still in possession of a romantic floral intimation of desire.
Gres Cabaret, rose and incense softer scent but with a very slight darkness: to me, close to a cheaper but longer lasting Voleur de Roses. There's a lightly paint-like opening to sit through, but the drydown is lightly woodsy and romantic.
Repackage any of these, call them niche, and people would be raving. Their slight imperfections would be seen as daring quirks (Cabaret's paint opening, Aramis' roughness, Tabu's booze and sluttiness, Lavanda's fleeting linearity). I love and wear all of these often, except for the Aramis, whose feminine counterparts--the 70s Estee line I wear instead. Men could rock those too (Aliage, Azuree! Sorry but not so into White Linen, Pleasures, all of that stuff).
Agree on the Aramis (and Estee Lauder)...I'll add Comme Des Garcons Cologne Series (Vettiveru and Anbar being the standouts). Dirty by Lush (the body spry sells for something like 20 bucks and comes in a 300ml format)...Knize Ten sells around here for 50 euros (just saying...).Last but not least, at Mekkanische Rose in Berlin they sell most of their fragrances for ridiculously cheap and they're incredibly well done and natural smelling.

I'm gonna go ahead and say the Caron triumvirate of Pour un Homme, Le 3eme and Yatagan are great buys for about 30 bucks for a 4.2 oz. bottle.
+1 for these, all priced at $25 or less:
- Dirty English. It's a steal at $20.
- Nautica Voyage. Excellent summer bargain at $20.
- Curve. It's a huge compliment getter for as little as $15!
- Michel Germain Tattoo. $10!
- Ed Hardy Love And Luck. Can be had for $20 to $25 in bargain bins. Villain is worth checking out too.
Yatagan is the best, cheapest masterpiece imo
way below are these great values:
Zirh Ikon
Lomani pH
Halston Z-14 (pre-2011)
Aramis, Pinaud Clubman Special Reserve (now that is brilliant value).
My best 'cheapy' is L'Occitane's Eau des Baux, hands down.
Hugo Boss Bottled and Givenchy Play Intense 3.3 fl oz. I acquired both (separately) on Amazon for under $46.
