Re: What do I do if someone anchors too close?
It got worse. Some people anchored by my friend and he was sitting on his oat and told them they were too close. Thy said they were from here and knew what they were doing. As they took the dinghy in they said to us
"It's good anchorage on the other side of the bay"
Why they told is this I don't know. I think they thought thy had more rights to be there, anyways in the morning the boats start bumping so my friend gets in his dinghy and pushes their boat away and then goes back to sleep. When the other peoe get back the boats are bumping so the guy stands on his deck blowing his air horn. My friend wakes up and the guy and his wife start screaming at him how he must have moved, they weren't this close close before. The guy starts pulling up his anchor and it is under my friends and starts pulling his anchor up and bringing the boats together. They are yelling and telling him he must have moved and to pull his anchor and leave. Crazy fourth.

The event will have Bikerni members perform stunts and Urvashi give out tips on safety measures and riding. "Ours is an association and not a club. Our focus is mainly to explore the benefits of riding by encouraging more and more women to join in," said Urvashi.
She believes biking has no cons and it has only helped her grow as a person. "I was a very shy kid who turned out to be experimental and out-going after I took up riding. It is a good way of finding your inner self," she added.
There is no pretence in riding and it only goes on to inspire and influence. "The only aspect that needs keen attention is safety. Riding alone welcomes untoward incidents so one has to be prepared with pepper spray, emergency dialing and GPS."

Fear stalks Bangladesh as voting begins
Published on Jan 5, 2014 11:40 AM
DHAKA (AFP) - Bangladesh voted on Sunday in a violence-plagued election that will end in certain victory for Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina after the opposition boycotted the "farcical" contest.
Around 150 people have been killed since the opposition launched a campaign against the election in October while more than a thousand opposition leaders and activists have been detained in a crackdown denounced by rights groups.
A huge security operation involving 50,000 troops has been mounted to ensure the eight hours of voting passes off smoothly after it began at 8am (10am Singapore time).
But after scores of arson attacks on polling stations and with the opposition trying to enforce a general strike, officials admit turnout could be worse than the previous low of 26 percent in a rigged 1996 election.

The City of Plano is taking an interesting approach to fighting the mosquitoes that carry West Nile virus.
They're fighting back with mosquitofish.
Workers from the Environmental Health Department released thousands of the tiny creatures into a pond at the Pecan Hollow Golf Course. The fish feed on mosquito larvae.
Workers placed them in areas where there aren't already mosquitoes so they can control the population without the need for spraying and fogging.

Straight shooter: Good-guy Thompson leads U.S. Open
Former Eagle Scout's good deed is shooting 66 at Olympic
SAN FRANCISCO Michael Thompson seems like the kind of guy you want your friends and family to know.
He was an Eagle Scout and says he loves "giving back." He conducts junior clinics and visits with the players at his alma mater, Alabama, often to "try to instill what little wisdom I have."
He speaks of missing his friends and his home church in Birmingham, Ala., gives credit to his mom and dad for his upbringing and says he gets fantastic support from his "wonderful" wife, whom he planned to take on a date Thursday night.
Just guessing here, but he probably volunteers at the animal shelter and reads to little children, too.
What made the 27-year-old Thompson even more appealing was when he forged a three-shot advantage in the first round of the U.S. Open at The Olympic Club, keeping alive a long tradition of unknowns leading early in this major, and didn't seem to care one bit if anybody wondered who the heck he is.
"I've kind of always flown under the radar," Thompson was saying at midday on Thursday after he'd shot a 4-under-par 66 on an extremely difficult track that stubbornly yielded a stroke average of 74.92.
"Obviously, my name's in the spotlight, but a lot of people don't know who I am. And I'm totally OK with that because I've always been a player that just kind of hangs around."
And it was here that you've really got to start liking the guy:
"I don't give up easily and I'm very proud of that," he said. "Give Tiger the spotlight. I don't care. I'm going to go out and play my game. If I go out and putt the way I did today, I'll be in contention."
Thompson, in only his second year on the PGA Tour, has some esteemed company chasing him. Tied for second with 69s were three major winners — Tiger Woods, David Toms and Graeme McDowell — along with Nick Watney and Justin Rose.
In his round, Thompson poured in seven birdies and at one point made five consecutive 3s.
Thompson's group played on the opposite side of the course of the morning's marquee threesome — Woods, Phil Mickelson and Bubba Watson. He could see there were thousands following those guys, while his group maybe attracted a couple of hundred fans.
By the time members of the media caught on to what he was doing, Thompson was cruising to the finish.
"Got a little nervous there once all those cameras showed up," he said. "It's always a bit of an adjustment. In that sense, I kind of wish I was Phil or Tiger, because you get the cameras from the beginning."
The round was no fluke.
In 2008, Thompson was the low amateur, tying for 29th, in the U.S. Open at Torrey Pines. He qualified because he was a 2007 U.S. Amateur finalist at Olympic, losing to Colt Knost, with whom he was paired on Thursday and beat by a whopping nine shots.

High school bowls come long way in short time
S.D. connection
Local teams that have played in the State Football Championship Bowls:
2007: Oceanside 28, Novato 14 (Division II)
2008: Cathedral Catholic 37, Stockton St. Mary's 34 (Division II)
2009: Oceanside 24, San Jose Bellarmine 19 (Division I)
2009: Modesto Christian 44, Francis Parker 40 (Division IV)
2010: Escalon 30, Madison 14 (Division III)
2010: Bishop's 40, Stockton Brookside Christian 14 (Division IV)
CARSON With this weekend's sixth edition of the State Football Championship Bowls, two things have remained constant.
One is that Concord De La Salle has been a participant every year. The other is change.
The California Interscholastic Federation is a cautious, slow-to-take-action organization in part because there are 10 sections in the state with varying ideas about how to govern high school athletics.
But in the six years since the bowls have been played at The Home Depot Center, the event has gone from six teams in three divisions to 10 teams in five divisions to regional playoffs for bowl berths that will debut next fall, doubling to 20 the number of participants.
That's laser speed in this state, and each change has been met with resistance.
"I'm surprised by how quickly we've moved," said CIF Executive Director Marie Ishida, who has overseen the implementation and expansion of the bowl games, which was California's answer to being the only state not to offer high school football state playoffs.
"I'm pleased because I feel we've progressed. Making changes is making progress, but I believe once the regionals are in place, it will stay that way for some time. The question remains: When is enough enough?"
Originally, when the state approved the three divisions, there were cries about how it would ruin the section playoffs and how it would jeopardize the health of the players. Some schools threatened not to participate if the bowl games were started.
No school has ever turned down a bowl invitation, and Ishida said the possibility of a bowl berth has actually increased interest in the section championships.
"I would argue that the bowls enhance the section championships, it increases the interest," said Ishida, noting that the only way a team can qualify for the bowls is by winning a section title.
Go unbeaten but lose in the section playoffs and your team, no matter how good or how tough a schedule you have played, is finished.
Regionals might even increase that interest as more champions will have a shot at the post-sectional playoffs, but event Director Ken Gunn doubts it will end the discussion when the teams are selected.
"You're still going to have controversy," said Gunn. "You always have controversy."
There have always been schools that felt they should have participated, but Gunn said no team that has ever played in the bowls has complained, win or lose.
"No one has ever said, 'We won't be back' after the game or, 'We won't go' before," Gunn said. "It's just a great experience for the kids. Even when De La Salle lost, the coach came up to me and thanked us."

Re: The future of the sailing world. Why are there so few young people cruising??
Interesting stuff. Over on the thread (interesting sail boats) Paulo posted a vid of young people crossing from S. Africa to Brazil. Post 3867. The youngsters here should go have a look. I don't know that young couple but I'm willing to bet they had the desire to overcome every excuse I see by young people here why they are not sailing to far off destinations. Again, nothing about today's problems has anything to do with truly wanting to get out and do it. There have always been problems for each and every generation but a certain percentage of young people have over come those problems because they really wanted to do it. It will be the same 30 years from now.
About wanting to hang out in the cockpit with grandparent aged people. Maybe that is why you are not sailing. It takes a bigger mind than that to over come many of the difficulties to go serious cruising. Maybe you need to spend more time actually getting to talk with more people of any age who are serious cruisers than spending time on the internet, you should be walking the docks of marinas where people really sail. What you will find that there is no age bias within the serious cruising community. We all have the same interest and desires and that is why we are actually out cruising. I realize young serious sailors need time with other sailors their age and they always find much time to do so. But they also have time to be apart of all the cruising community as we old farts have time for the young and don't think twice about someones age. Thinking like that sounds like the famous Bumfuzzels the famous 3 ring circus of the cruising world.
I'm not trying to be a jerk or arrogant here I just want many of the young and the old here that are always bitchin that you are not looking for a solution you are only making excuses.
For a lot of the young want to be sailors from N. America you should be reading the Interesting sailboat thread and learning why there are more Europeans young sailing around the world. They have discovered the new breed of boats around 10 meters long and saving their money to buy them then go live their dream. These boats have been around long enough now that in Europe I bet you can pick up a good used one for for a lot less than all the old junk that is left on the N. American market that one has to put so much into in cost and time and still only have half the boat of the European boats. I couldn't think of a better solution for a young person than saving enough money to go to Europe buy a modern designed used boat and taking off to far off places from there. Paulo knows his stuff an can answer any questions on boats posted that might work for you in your price range. Do the research, set goals and do it.
Remember I did it when I was in my twenties and I know what it was like sailing all over the place. It is the very best time of your life to go but excuses I hear on this thread make me believe many of the young just dream and dream and dream. Back in the 70's there were also many of the young that just dreamed too, they never did much but that but that will always be.
Good luck, we love seeing young cruisers out there be it young families, young couples, two young guys, two young gals or young single handers. We drink together, we surf together, play music together, sail to destinations in the same weather window and we talk story together all learning so many interesting things about life from each other.

AP Source: Titans interested in hiring Williams
Sunday - 1/27/2013, 4:39pm EST
By TERESA M. WALKER
AP Sports Writer
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - Gregg Williams may be a step closer to returning to the NFL after being suspended indefinitely for his role in the Saints' bounty program.
Titans coach Mike Munchak has talked with Williams and is interested in adding him to his Tennessee staff, said a person familiar with the situation. The person spoke Sunday to The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity because the Titans do not discuss personnel moves until they are finalized.
Before the Titans could hire Williams, he must be reinstated by the league. Commissioner Roger Goodell suspended him indefinitely for his role in the New Orleans Saints bounty program, and NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said Sunday the league has not yet addressed Williams' potential reinstatement.
Munchak did not immediately answer a message left by the AP on Sunday. The Titans coach has not talked with the media about his team since the day after the season ended.
How quickly the league considers reinstating Williams may take at least a week with the San Francisco 49ers arriving in New Orleans on Sunday to kick off festivities leading up to the Feb. 3 Super Bowl.
Williams is the only coach or player who has yet to return to the NFL in the wake of the bounty scandal.
Goodell just lifted the suspension for New Orleans coach Sean Payton on Tuesday, nearly two weeks earlier than expected. Saints general manager Mickey Loomis was suspended for eight games and assistant head coach Joe Vitt for six. Four current or former Saints players were also suspended after an investigation found the club had a performance pool offering cash rewards for key plays, including big hits. The player suspensions eventually were overturned.
Williams was the Saints defensive coordinator from 2009-11 and was hired by St. Louis in January 2012 by former Titans coach Jeff Fisher before being suspended indefinitely in March 20112. Williams' son, Blake, also was on Fisher's staff as the Rams' linebacker coach _ but his contract was not renewed earlier this month.
Munchak has known Williams since 1990. Munchak was playing for the then-Houston Oilers when Williams became an assistant coach with the team. They also coached together with the Oilers; Munchak oversaw the offensive line starting in 1994 and Williams rose from defensive assistant to coaching special teams, then linebackers and finally defensive coordinator.
Williams left the Titans to become head coach of the Buffalo Bills in 2001 before becoming defensive coordinator with the Washington Redskins from 2004-07. He also was defensive coordinator in Jacksonville in 2008 before being hired by the Saints in 2009.
Williams also has a relationship with Munchak's current defensive coordinator, Jerry Gray. When Williams left for Buffalo, Gray went with him and served as Williams' defensive coordinator with the Bills.
Even though Gray currently has the job, the Titans' defense needs help and Munchak will be coaching for his job in 2013 after going 6-10 in his second season as head coach. One reason for the losing record was Tennessee's inability to stop anyone; the Titans set a franchise record allowing 471 points in 2012. The only change Munchak has made to his defensive staff was letting linebackers coach Frank Bush go and moving Chet Paralavecchio into the job from assisting with special teams.
In Williams' last season with the Titans, Tennessee ranked first in the NFL in fewest yards allowed, first in passing yards allowed and third in rushing defense. The Titans also set a franchise-record for fewest points allowed with 191 with an aggressive defense.

Experimental Drug Panobinostat Shows Little Activity In MDS Patients (ASH 2010)
Published: Dec 29, 2010 9:17 am
Preliminary results of a Phase 2 trial show that the experimental drug panobinostat has little activity in patients with relapsed and resistant myelodysplastic syndromes.
However, because the drug was reasonably well tolerated, the study authors suggested the drug be investigated further in combination with other myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) treatments.
These results were presented at the 2010 meeting of the American Society of Hematology (ASH) earlier this month in Orlando by Dr. Ian W. Flinn of the Sarah Cannon Research Institute in Nashville who led the clinical trial.
Panobinostat (LBH589), which is being developed by the pharmaceutical company Novartis, belongs to a class of drugs called HDAC inhibitors that interfere with the maturation of cancer cells and kill them. The drug is currently being investigated as a treatment for a variety of cancer types including MDS.
In their study, Dr. Flinn and his colleagues investigated panobinostat's activity in patients who had relapsed or refractory MDS.
The results presented at ASH were based on 10 MDS patients who had stopped responding to Vidaza (azacitidine) or Dacogen (decitabine) treatment. Patients with abnormalities in chromosome 5q had to have failed prior Revlimid (lenalidomide) treatment. None of the patients had received HDAC inhibitors before.
The patients received 30 mg of panobinostat orally three times a week for 21 days followed by one week of rest. If the patients did not experience any severe side effects after two cycles of treatment, the dosage was increased to 40 mg three times a week.
The best response that the researchers observed after two treatment cycles was stable disease in seven patients (70 percent). Two patients (20 percent) had progressed to acute myeloid leukemia. One patient did not complete the study and could therefore not be evaluated.
Non-blood-related side effects were generally mild and most commonly included loss of appetite, fatigue, and nausea.
Additionally, five patients (50 percent) experienced low red blood cell counts, eight patients (80 percent) had low platelet counts, six patients (60 percent) experienced low white blood cell counts, and seven patients (70 percent) had low neutrophil (a type of white blood cell that fights disease) counts.
For additional information, please see abstract 4015 at the ASH meeting website.

Al-Shabab prevents aid from reaching 2.2M Somalis
DADAAB, Kenya The World Food Program can't reach 2.2 million Somalis in desperate need of aid in militant-controlled areas of Somalia, WFP's director said Saturday, meaning refugee camps in nearby Kenya and Ethiopia are likely to continue seeing thousands of new refugees each week.
The needs of those in Somalia's expanding famine zone are extraordinary, prompting parents to sweep up their small children and start a dangerous walk that can last days or weeks - one that many die on. Livestock have perished, and crops no longer grow after consecutive rains failed to fall in south-central Somalia.
The journey is so long and so perilous that few Somalis are eager to return to their war-torn homeland, a facet of the dual crisis of the Somalia conflict and Horn of Africa famine that has Kenyan officials - who are only reluctantly accepting more refugees - in a bind.
Josette Sheeran, the executive director of WFP, traveled to eastern Kenya on Saturday to visit the drought-stricken town of Garissa and the world's largest refugee camp, Dadaab. Sheeran talked with refugees who just completed the perilous trek from Somalia, and asked if they would consider returning if conditions improve.
"I walked 25 days to get here. I have no money," a translator quoted a refugee as telling Sheeran. He said he had passed many others on the sandy route to Dadaab who dropped off the pace and never made it here. "He said he can't go back anytime soon."
So many people are in need in Somalia because the militant group al-Shabab won't let aid in. The group, in fact, denies a famine is taking place, disputing the U.N.'s view that tens of thousands of people have already died.
WFP can't operate without the militant's permission; 14 WFP employees have been killed there since 2008. Sheeran called Somalia "the riskiest environment we operate in the world today."
Al-Shabab signaled in early July that it would accept aid groups it had previously banned, but changed course on Thursday, saying groups like WFP are not welcome. The group's refusal to accept aid from Western and "Christian" aid groups means millions could starve - or be forced to begin the hike to help to Kenya, Ethiopia or Mogadishu, the Somali capital, which is also being overwhelmed with refugees.
"We know that the epicenter of this famine and drought are in Somalia. We are able to reach about 1.5 million people in Somalia. But there's about 2.2 million people that are not able to be reached," Sheeran told The Associated Press. "We welcome the opening to look to ways to reach people. We'll talk with local authorities and we'll act where we can go."
Steering clear of the sensitive politics, Sheeran did not use the word al-Shabab. But it was clear that's what "local authorities" meant.
She said that famine will likely expand to more areas as insecurity persists and aid is prevented. The U.N. fears tens of thousands of people already have died in the famine. WFP estimates more than 11.3 million people need aid across drought-hit regions in East Africa.

House, 3 Bedrooms, 2 Baths, (Sleeps 8)
You will not find a cozier vacation home in all of South Lake Tahoe! This three-bedroom, two-bath retreat features an outdoor hot tub, comfortable furnishings, and room for the whole family! Surrounded by tall trees, this home is in quiet, well-located neighborhood, just minutes from the Tahoe Keys Marina, Thomas F Regan Memorial Beach, the Bijou Golf Course, and only six miles from Heavenly Mountain Resort.
Inside, the living room combines neutral color tones, rich wood accents, and pops of color from snuggly throws and plush pillows. While the snow falls down outside, you'll be toasty warm sitting in the cozy living room, with your hands wrapped around a mug of cocoa - or maybe a hot buttered rum. The flat screen dable TV also has a DVD player and even a DVD library. There's also WiFi, so you can check your email and even spend sometime pinning images from your amazing Lake Tahoe trip.
The dining room table seats four, but don't worry, there are extra spots right at the nearby breakfast bar. The kitchen is large, bright, and well-stocked, giving you room to create epic vacation meals like a big pot of pumpkin chicken chili or just heat up leftover from the previous night's dinner out in South Lake Tahoe.
Outside in the backyard, in addition to the hot tub, there's a charcoal grill for family cookouts, and plenty of room for kids to play. Since this home is dog friendly (with a $10 per day, per pet fee along with a $40 minimum per stay), the fenced yard is also well-suited for your furry, four-legged companions to explore.
All on one level, this home's three bedrooms will make everyone feel right at home when it's time to turn in at night.

Those wanting to practice their swings can head to the Bijou Golf Course, which is only a 10 minute drive away. In addition to golfing, there are a number of public beaches on the shore of Lake Tahoe, offering a spot for scenic picnics, beachcombing, or just relaxing along the shore. There are also opportunities for fishing, water skiing, and even taking a picturesque cruise around the lake.
Right along scenic US Route 50, you'll find plenty of restaurants and shops to explore. When the weather's cold and snowy outside, you can order up heaping plates of Chicken Marsala and Beef Stroganoff at Baumann's Swiss Chalet or on a sunny day, you may opt for Nigiri and Maki at Samurai Sushi. No matter what time of year, it's easy to work up an appetite here - paddleboarding on the lake, rock climbing, mountain biking, hiking, and parasailing to name just a few of the local activities!
Of course, in winter you'll want to make the short 15 minute drive to Heavenly Mountain Resort. Hit the slopes for world-class skiing and snowboarding, as well as tubing and back country, cross-country skiing. And in summer, you can take a breathtaking 2.4 mile gondola ride across the clear blue Tahoe sky. A year-round destination, South Lake Tahoe has something for everyone - golfers, skiers, hikers, foodies, even those who just want to sleep in and relax at this comfortable, cozy vacation home!

Our BEST experience coming to South Lake Tahoe..!!!
Our other experiences were different as we had stayed in random hotels each time, we didn't know what we were missing out on by renting an actual home like this one. This beautiful home is situated in a great location close to grocery stores, gas stations, coffee shops and restaurants. We came with other family members who had never been here before and they were very impressed. Home was nicely furnished including flat screen TV, movies, video games, etc. Everything was very clean and kitchen had all the dishes and necessities for daily cooking as well as spices and herbs. I liked that there was a washer and dryer. One of my personal favorites was the jacuzzi. Everywhere I go I make sure to stay where there is one accessible and honestly that was one of the reasons that I was convinced to choose this home. Now I am convinced that there is many other reasons I would stay here again. The only two small issues was that we there was no propane in gas tanks and we were unable to use the fireplace (non functional) as that was one of the few amenities I was looking for. Other than that everything was perfect. I totally recommend this home as a vacation rental to anyone who wants feel at home. Thank you Vacasa!
roomy and comfortable, close to town but in the pines.

Maple Leafs' Reid Mitchell (Director of Hockey&Scouting Admin) talks Analytics in Hockey at UofT's Sports Industry Conference
Listen out for MLHS' Anthony Petrielli asking the panel a question (at the 56:30 mark) about intangibles, which Reid Mitchell and Alex Rucker (Raptors' Seniors Analytics Consultant) respond to.

Anthony Petrielli @APetrielli 1m
A few thoughts on the responses of Leafs Director of Hockey, Reid Mitchell, from an analytics panel, & Leafs Notebook:http://bit.ly/1fVU3hz
great interview just now with Burke on tsn1050
testing java 123....
Some suggestions for Nonis summer game plan.
I started wondering if Moulson - a good North York boy - would be interested in the going back to play in front of family and friends?
Combined him with Stastny and Clarkson on the third line might do the trick.
Then trade for Myers or Ehrhoff by sending Franson and 1st round pick 2014 to Sabres. Trade Reimer and 2nd round pick to Vancouver for Lack and 1st round pick 2015
What a stroke of luck....youngest son came home last night to eat and shower.....just in time to shovel...lol.....haven't seen him since...lol :)
@Dangle_My_Berries Loved what he said about tanking. You ask them to loose, you can never ask them to win for you after. Not in the hockey player's mentality.
@Dangle_My_Berries shit. missed it. Love his interviews.
@Leafs rule Coffee testing?
What about beer testing?
@Great Dane I hope the cap goes up by 30 mil so we can fit all those contracts in. lol. other than money problems I like the cut of your jib man.
@Great Dane I wish people would try out their ideas on capgeek.com first. Using a $70M cap and this years salaries: (the 2014-2015 fantasy calculator doesn't work)
F: JVR, Bozak, Kessel, Lupul, Kadri, Clarkson, Moulson, Stastny, Orr, ?, ? , ?
D: Phaneuf, Gleason, Gunnarsson, Rielly, Myers, ?, ?
G: Bernier, Lack
The total cap hit is $62,452,500 with $850,000 bonuses leaving $7,547,500 cap space left. That's sixteen players. Five positions to fill. That's 21 players above including the question marks. The roster is usually, what, 23? Using 2013-2014 salaries, Moulson is probably a little low on salary and Stastny could be a little high but let's say they balance each other out. $7.5M / 7 players = just a shade under $1.1M per player remaining. Possible? Yes. Probable? No. Cap shrinking even more? Quite likely (despite what Bettman has recently said.)
@Great Dane Vancouver is rebuilding / retooling. There is no way they will be giving up their 1st.
@Great Dane Let's not take into account the fact you'd have a 15M$ 3rd line or the fact that you'll have to re-sign Bernier and Kadri in a years time (both will get 5+)....
@wendelsway1 Thats fine, probably the last big snow of the year. He'll have forgotten how you took advantage of him by next winter.
@Dangle_My_Berries Bloody hell!!! Why can't I select where to start the podcast?! I don't want to hear the whole damn thing!
@Yan28 @Dangle_My_Berries The GM would never ask them to lose. He has to do the necessary moves that would likely result in the team losing (and tanking.)
@17Forever @Dangle_My_Berries should be up on the tsn site at some point today I think...refreshing to hear Burke talk about the team and how he doesn't harbor any resentment
@lister @Leafs rule lol nope
,had to quit lol,docs orders ,almost but not quite ,the leafs are still playing
@lister @Great Dane When was this said, and where ? The cap is going down next year from what it is already ?
How ?
More money made this season then ever before.
@Hud @Great DaneI counting on the cap will rise each year with 7-9 million
@CanuckUKinToronto Yeah, plus Myers and Ehrhoff...there's no way we fit that under the Cap.
@CanuckUKinToronto @Great DaneMoulson 4.5; Stastny 5.25 would be possible if you move out gleason and let Ranger take his place at 1 million.
@MaxwellHowe @wendelsway1 Took advantage?.....absolutely no reason why my Hubby or myself should be shoveling snow when we have two able bodied young men still living under our roof. :)
@lister @Dangle_My_Berries typical tsn...
@17Forever @Leafs rule @Dangle_My_Berries ownership, aside from allowing the team to spend to the cap, doesnt really seem to be meddling in hockey decisions....which is exactly what i want to hear. Their focus has been on the MLS and TFC, and so far things look pretty good over there.
@Leafs rule @Dangle_My_Berries @17Forever Oh I agree. I think the job he did here in such a short time will be the reason we can speak proudly of our team for years to come.
Just messed up how Rogers treated the guy.
side note ... I am not sold on the ownership of this team yet. They make some head scratching decisions. Not just with the Leafs but the Jays as well.
Wish I could be a fly on the wall for those big wig conversations.
@Leafs rule @Dangle_My_Berries @17Forever agreed...good hockey man
@Dangle_My_Berries @17Forever
how he doesn't harbor any resentment .... and thats very big of him to say imo ,but thank you Mr Burke for all that you tried to do here
@Dangle_My_Berries @17Forever Thats cool. will check in a bit for it.
@lister @Leafs rule lol ,yea it sucs ,smoking is the bad one though ,heart damage then drinking does kill the brain ,its true ,hate to tell you but lol if only I had a buck for all the times I was told that ...
@Leafs rule @lister Damn that sucks! I dread the day I get told no more meat and no more booze.
@Alec Brownscombe @Leafs rule@lister
I do so ,feelin hurt here now n what do you mean clearly ,WTF lol
@Leafs rule @lister Let's face it, Jimmy. You clearly don't use it anyway.
@lister @Leafs rule ps where did my edit button go ,i want/need it back eh
@lister @Great Dane okay .. more like 70 mil. Not huge but not the direction we want to hear.
@lister @17Forever @Great Dane Cheers
@CanuckUKinToronto @Great Dane@HudOf course but the all the extra money from classics and the TV deal it will go up.
Only thing that really needs to happen is long cup run by the Leafs then revenue will go up
@Great Dane @CanuckUKinToronto@djamon I think I puked in my mouth a little bit.
@Great Dane @djamon@CanuckUKinToronto What about Orr? He's still signed for 2014-2015 at $925,000. If Orr is down on the farm then that's an additional $750,000 on the cap:
One way contract: cap hit - [ minimum salary + $375,000 ]
$925,000 – [ $550,000 + $375,000] = $750,000
@Great Dane @djamon@CanuckUKinToronto The cap isn't going to be $71M next year. Bettman is on record that it'll likely shrink by $1M-2M. It could go down even more.
@CanuckUKinToronto @Great Dane@djamon Ideally we would trade Clarkson or more likely Lupul for a young forward on an ELC like Yakopov.

@Great Dane @CanuckUKinTorontoGleason is a huge cap hit, but Ranger can't have his minutes imo and is a huge downgrade.
@Great Dane I think you're way low on both Moulson and Stastny.
@Komas Taberle @MaxwellHowe @wendelsway1 The big reason why both were in sports, growing up. With all the practicing, games and tournaments.....left no time for hanging at the mall with sketchy kids that had too much time on their handsl......a tired boy is a good boy.....lol
@wendelsway1 @Komas Taberle @MaxwellHowe
Most young men love hard work around the house.
Teenage boys are good for muscle, hard work keeps them out of trouble!
@wendelsway1 @MaxwellHowe oh they both live there. I was only kidding around. No, for all the trouble they cause, not to mention food and beverage consumed, shovelling snow is the least a young fella can do. i have daughters. Not really helpful for the heavier manual labor.
@Komas Taberle @wendelsway1 @MaxwellHowe As are our sons...and their friends, for that matter.......very appreciative and like spending time at our cottage. :)
My Mum and Dad had 4 boys.
The parents never touched a shovel , a rake or a lawnmower in their whole lives, we were very happy to do that for them.
@Bruffins @MaxwellHowe @wendelsway1 I love getting on the tractor, at the cottage, and cutting the grass.....all about multi taking....cut grass, while getting a tan, while drinking mojitos...lol :)
@Great Dane @Bruffins@MaxwellHowe@wendelsway1 Try cutting grass in rural Virginia with a push mower on a large property with ticks and snakes plus a plethora of flying insects. Oh the fun! Had to do that for a few summers at my grandparents place.
@Bruffins @MaxwellHowe@wendelsway1 Yeah, grew up out in the 'burbs on a corner lot with lots of sidewalk and a huge amount of well growing grass. Spring and fall were nice breaks.
@Bruffins @MaxwellHowe@wendelsway1That are you guys talking about here we have + 20 C and a lot of blood sucking insects

Dell 5100MP Projector
Summary: The 5100MP is a fine business projector, but it's less well suited for home cinemaphiles.
Editors' rating:
User rating:
The 5100MP's is Dell's current top of the range business projector, and like many business projectors -- and a startling amount of home projectors -- having a particularly appealing physical layout wasn't high on the designer's mind during development. It's a medium-sized projector at 330x261x115mm with a single front angling leg, and two drop-down feet at the back. Dell do sell an optional carry case for the 5100MP, but at 3.72kg, we wouldn't advise anyone to shift this projector around for too long.
One very neat feature of the 5100MP is the integrated LCD screen on the top of the projector, which gives you an idea of the current status of the unit, as well as acting as a backup menu option. It's undoubtedly easier to use the 5100MP's OSD menu, but it's a good backup to have in an emergency.
The 5100MP's remote is a nifty bit of design, with a typical Dell blue backlighting effect on the buttons. The only real drawback here -- and it's one we've seen before in other Dell products -- is that blue backlighting isn't the easiest to read in a darkened room -- like, say, one with a projector in it.
If you are struggling to read the remote, though, there's an easy solution -- stick it in front of the projector bulb. With a claimed ANSI Lumens rating of 3,300 its a very bright projector indeed. Just be careful not to melt your skin off while you're looking for the input source button. The 5100MP has a a contrast ratio of 2500:1 and a maximum display resolution of 1400x1050, making it theoretically suitable for High Definition video playback, as well as slightly less exciting business presentations.
From a connectivity viewpoint, it's impossible to fault the 5100MP. Starting with Composite video, it supports every format we could think of to throw through it, from component, RGB, S-Video, BNC and even HDMI for home cinemaphiles. It's also network-ready, which betrays the fact that Dell's primarily pushing the 5100MP to the corporate world, rather than home users -- you can't even look at the 5100MP from Dell's local Web site if you follow the links for Home/Home Office users.
Setup of the 5100MP is pleasantly simple -- just adjust the feet, chuck in your input source du jour and hit the power button. You've then got to be prepared to wait, though, as the 5100MP's startup and warmup routine is pretty slow. In our tests, we never got the unit to display an image in less than a minute. So if you are pondering it for business use, you'd be well served to pop into the boardroom and fire it up while your clients are enjoying the lobby, just to be on the safe side. Cooldown is a similarly slow process, although that's less of an operational problem for most users.
Using the 5100MP within business parameters -- for spreadsheets and the like -- amply shows off the strengths of the 5100MP, as its super-bright bulb, high resolution display and easy remote make it a clear winner within the office world, especially given the asking price. Use it for a more leisure-oriented activity, however, and you're likely to come over a touch more disappointed, primarily because the 5100MP's colour resolution just isn't what it should be. We experienced a quite surprising amount of murky washed out colour, especially in anything with lots of swiftly shifting colours or fast panning action. It's a long way from unwatchable, but realistically you can do better for a cinema projector in this price bracket. Testing in CNET's US labs showed some problems with accurate greyscale colours, as well as a tendency for greenish images.
Dell rates the bulb in the 5100MP as being good for around 1700 hours regular use -- up to 2200 in economy modes -- and a replacement bulb currently sells on Dell's Web site for AU$357.50, giving it an average running cost of around 21c/hour. That's pretty comparable to most other projectors, although the lowish running time means you'll be swapping out bulbs a touch more frequently than with other units.
As a business projector, there's not a lot that can compete with the 5100MP in terms of network ability and resolution at this price point. As a home projector it's a poor fit, as the network functionality will go to waste, and better cinema-quality images can be had for a comparable price.

St. John United Church of Christ v. Indianapolis Historic Preservation Commission, Ind.
02/11/2015: Local preservationists oppose church demolition plans
Preservationists are opposed to the replacement of a crumbling church structure, claiming that "there's a broader community interest here," and "It's kind of their symbol of their community, if you will." S&G previously filed suit on behalf of the St. John United Church of Christ, resulting in the removal of its historic landmark designation.
In 2010, it had an agreement with the former Gershman Brown Crowley developer to build a CVS. But the city of Indianapolis stepped in to protect the church by granting it landmark status. The church, in turn, filed a federal lawsuit saying the designation by the city's Historic Preservation Commission violated their constitutional rights to freely exercise their religion. The lawsuit was settled in 2011 when the church agreed to give the preservation group Indiana Landmarks six months to find a buyer that would save the building. The city rescinded the designation, according to the terms of the settlement, when it couldn't find a buyer.

In 1996, the original Tomb Raider was launched. The 3D game design, controls and graphics were truly ground breaking for their time. Furthermore, gamers were also presented with a unique, female human playable character with which they could become emotionally attached, Lara Croft. The original Tomb Raider sold over seven million copies and is still heralded as an absolute classic and one of the best action adventure games ever. Tomb Raider defined the PlayStation and changed the way that people played games.
In tribute to this and to celebrate and commemorate the continuing development of the Tomb Raider franchise and its central character, Crystal Dynamics are developing a new Tomb Raider adventure for Lara. Inspired by the original Tomb Raider video game; Lara Croft Tomb Raider: Anniversary faithfully preserves the elements which made the original Tomb Raider game such a classic.
Using an enhanced 'Tomb Raider: Legend' game engine, the graphics, technology and physics bring Lara's adventure and pursuit of a mystical artefact known only as the Scion right up to today's technology standards and will offer gamers a completely new gameplay experience.
Tomb Raider follows the adventures of Lara Croft after she is hired by a powerful syndicate to retrieve a mythical object called the Scion. After discovering that she has been used as a pawn in some larger scheme, Lara takes matters into her own hands deciding that she must uncover the mystery behind this ancient artefact

MHI Develops Lubricant Oil-free Centrifugal Chillers Through Adoption of Magnetic Bearing System "ETI-40MB and 50MB" Models Added to Built-in Inverter "ETI Series" Tokyo, Aug 21, 2013 - (JCN Newswire) - Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. (MHI) has developed two models of highly efficient centrifugal chillers featuring a totally lubricant oil-free magnetic bearing system. The adoption of the new magnetic bearing system - the first application in Japan in commercial-use centrifugal chillers - eliminates the need for lubricant oil. As no oil changes are required, significant reductions are realized in both maintenance work and related costs. The two newly developed models - the "ETI-40MB and 50MB" - offer cooling capacities ranging from 350 to 500 refrigeration tons(1) (RT). They will be launched into the Japanese domestic market this fall as new additions to the company's "ETI Series" of compact centrifugal chillers with built-in inverters. In the compressor of the new models - which is the core component of centrifugal chillers - MHI has adopted a magnetic bearing system for the rotation shaft of the impeller; this system causes the shaft to float, enabling reduction in friction drag to a minimal level. The impeller blades have also been newly designed. Through these innovations, the new models have achieved even higher compressor efficiency. Adoption of the magnetic bearing configuration also significantly reduces both maintenance work and related costs by eliminating the need for lubricating oil and oil filter changes. The ETI-40MB/50MB, chillers having a 400 RT refrigeration capacity, achieve a rated COP (coefficient of performance)(2) of 6.3 and IPLV (integrated part load value)(3) of 9.0. The new models, which use HFC-134a, a chlorine-free and zero ozone depletion potential (ODP) refrigerant, achieve higher energy-saving performance than the pre-existing ETI-40 models, and will enable further reductions in energy consumption for customers while at the same time contributing to efforts to prevent global warming through lower CO2 emissions. They also require less installation space and weigh less (by 15 percent and 20 percent, respectively) owing to the reduction in the number of compressors to only one, in contrast to the two needed in the ETI-40 models. These advantages not only enable downsizing but also facilitate carrying-in and installation work. MHI launched the ETI Series, initially with cooling capacities from 150 to 500 RT, in May 2008. The original models offered outstanding efficiency and compact size responding to the needs of customers who require centrifugal chillers with lower carbon emission levels, reduced energy requirements and smaller installation space needs. Subsequently, in 2011 the company enhanced its product portfolio up to 700 RT in tandem with expansion of the market for inverter models, resulting in expansion of its customer base. Following the market launch of the ETI-40MB/50MB, going forward MHI will now pursue commercialization of larger systems incorporating magnetic bearings, in its ongoing quest to respond to an ever-broader range of customer needs for centrifugal chillers. Notes: (1) Refrigeration ton represents the refrigerating capacity for turning 2000 lb of 0 degree Celcius water into 0 degree Celcius ice in 24 hours. 1 RT = 3,024 Kcal/hr. 2) Coefficient of performance (COP) indicates the ratio of a system's useful energy output versus its energy input. The higher a system's COP, the higher is its energy-saving efficiency. In the case of refrigeration systems, COP = rated cooling capacity (kW) / electricity consumption (kW). The cited value was calculated based on Japanese Industrial Standards (JIS). 3) Integrated part load value (IPLV) measures the efficiency of air-conditioners under a variety of conditions: several partial operational load ratios and coolant water temperatures similar to those in actual usage, to reflect seasonal changes in operational conditions. The cited value was calculated based on JIS. About Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. (MHI), headquartered in Tokyo, Japan, is one of the world's leading heavy machinery manufacturers, with consolidated sales of 2,820.9 billion for the year ended March 31, 2012.

by Faludi, Susan
A Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter for The Wall Street Journal, Faludi lays out a two-fold thesis in this aggressive work: First, despite the opinions of pop-psychologists and the mainstream media, career-minded women are generally not husband-starved loners on the verge of nervous breakdowns. Secondly, such beliefs are nothing more than anti-feminist propaganda pumped out by conservative research organizations with clear-cut ulterior motives. This backlash against the women's movement, she writes, "stands the truth boldly on its head and proclaims that the very steps that have elevated women's positions have actually led to their downfall." Meticulously researched, Faludi's contribution to this tumultuous debate is monumental and it earned the 1991 National Book Critics Circle Award for General Nonfiction.

Daly losing feel in hands, confidence in game
Playing for the sixth straight week on a road trip that has taken him to five countries, John Daly felt as though he hit rock bottom Friday with his worst score ever in a regular PGA Tour event that left him wondering whether he should quit.
His swing coach, Rick Smith, described Daly as being in a "toxic state" after an 88 in the Buick Open, which Smith attributed to a massive weight loss, not enough sleep and the wrong kind of diet.
Whatever the case, it led to Daly feeling as badly as ever about his golf.
"The last two weeks have been the first time in my career I didn't think I could win," Daly said. "I don't have the feel I used to have. I don't have the confidence. I just don't have it. I tried my (tail) off and shot 88. I've thrown in the towel and shot 82 when I quit. But I didn't quit this time. It was a weird feeling."
Daly hit two balls out-of-bounds on the par-5 first hole – his 10th of the second round – and took a 10. He wound up shoot 51 on his back nine for a 16-over 88. That was one shot less than the 89 he had last year at Royal Birkdale in the wind-swept British Open.
Smith said he followed him along Warwick Hills and almost didn't recognize him.
"I saw a guy I didn't know existed," Smith said. "What I saw today was scary. It was a literal disconnect. He hasn't eaten or slept in a week. His body needs food, and it's going to the muscle, and the muscle is breaking down to the point he's in a toxic state."
Daly says he has lost over 80 pounds in the last four months after having Lap-Band surgery, in which a tube place around the top of the stomach helps control the appetite. He was eating only 1,200 calories a day, but now says his intake is about 600 calories daily.
Daly said he weighed himself this week at 205 pounds.
"He's gone through it so quickly, faster than most," Smith said. "He hasn't felt well, he hasn't slept. He's starving himself. His doctors says if he doesn't have 80 to 90 grams a day of protein, he'll be in trouble. He needs to eat the right food and get himself back so he can even play golf. Looking at his swing today, it was irrelevant."
The PGA Tour suspended Daly for six months dating to November because of various off-course incidents, including a jailhouse photo of Daly with his eyes half-closed after being taken to a cell to sober up in North Carolina.
He has played mostly in Europe this year as he tries to qualify for the "Race to Dubai," but after a runner-up finish in May at the Italian Open, Daly has made little progress. His recent trip took him from the BMW International in Germany to the French Open, to the Scottish Open and British Open, then to the Canadian Open and the Buick Open.

ELSEWHERE IN THIS ISSUE, YOU'LL FIND PLENTY of discussion about the tangible and intangible benefits of using business aviation, but what about the expenses? Nobody ever said flying privately is cheap, but the good news is that it can be less costly than you might think-if you take steps to minimize expenses.
October 1, 2009
If the experts are right, business aviation insurance rates could be on the rise soon. A recent spate of accidents will inevitably drive rates higher for airlines, according to a report by insurance broker AON. Because business aviation insurance rates have traditionally tracked those for airlines fairly closely, price hikes are likely.
August 1, 2009
On a purchase-satisfaction scale of one to 10, aviation insurance fails to register even a one for most buyers. And no wonder. There's simply nothing sexy about buying a stack of papers that promise to pay for a loss you hope won't occur and which, in fact, is highly unlikely to ever happen.
August 1, 2008
When a company buys jet fuel for a business flight, the fuel will be consumed immediately. So the cost is tax deductible as an ordinary expense in the current period. Most expenses of owning and operating a business jet are like that-they can be deducted currently and thus offset taxes on current business income.
June 1, 2008
The cost of buying an aircraft is rivaled only by the expense of maintaining it. If someone gave me a Gulfstream G550 for Christmas, I'd have to sell it immediately because just the expense of hangaring and insuring the aircraft, let alone flying it, would far exceed what I can afford. No wonder many people want to figure out a way to share the cost of business jets.

After BJT quoted Long Island, N.Y. businessman Michael Pascucci's claim that his flights on his three aircraft are "free" based on the offset revenue he earns from their charter, we received feedback from readers questioning whether this is truly possible.
""CEOs go to their vacation homes just after companies report favorable news, and CEOs return to headquarters right before subsequent news is released. More good news is released when CEOs are back at work, and CEOs appear not to leave headquarters at all if a firm has adverse news to disclose. When CEOs are away from the office, stock prices behave quietly with sharply lower volatility. Volatility increases immediately when CEOs return to work." —David Yermack, a New York University finance professor, whose recently released study shows a correlation between when CEOs take their private jets on vacation and movements in their companies' stock price "

Winter!: Prepare for holiday gaming!
This game was ok i suppose but other then that i was very dissapointed, the handling was awful on all cars, you had to do a major drift to get round the smallest of corners and talk about sod laws, as soon as i got my buggatti i rammed into a police officer just outside the shop and the car got impounded and taken away from me because i didn't have enough cash to get it out!!

CSN Analyst Steve Konroyd's keys to Cup success
Konroyd's Keys
1. Discipline is a must, Boston will try to get you off your game: The Bruins did a really good job shutting down both Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin of the Pittsburgh Penguins. Neither of the two superstars had a goal over the 4 game sweep. In game one of the series, the Bruins got under the skin of both players, throwing Crosby and Malkin off their games. The superstars each landed in the penatly box, Crosby got 2 minors and Malkin a fighting major, and it was mission accomplished for Brad Marchand, Patrice Bergeron and the rest of the Bruins. Skate and compete hard during play and when you hear a whistle, skate away. You might have to take one for the team, but it's worth it during this time of year.

2. Clean breakouts will prevent a bruising, Bruins forecheck: We hear a lot about quick transition in the NHL. Chicago is one of the best transition teams in all of hockey. Boston is known for their ferocious fore check. They are a team that will give you the puck deep so they can try and get it back. Tape to tape passes and clean exits are a must for breaking this full court press. That means getting back fast and getting to open lanes so that you can be an outlet. When 4 other guys on your team want the puck when you have it, it makes your job a lot easier for breaking the puck out cleanly.

3. Power Play will be a difference maker: A lot has been said about the relaxation in penalty calls during the Stanley Cup playoffs. I believe that's going to change tonight, thinking the league and the referees want to send a message early. I would't be surprised if one of these teams gets 4 or 5 opportunities on the power play. You don't have to score a goal with the man advantage, but just generate some chances and gain some momentum. Too often in these playoffs a power play has been a momentum killer for the Blackhawks. Rotation up top when the puck is high with shots getting through, and movement down low when the puck is below the hash marks with 2 or 3 bodies going hard to the net.
