|It has been suggested that this article or section be merged into Tumulus. (Discuss) Proposed since October 2011.
Kurgan is the Turkic term for a tumulus; mound of earth and stones raised over a grave or graves, originating with its use in Soviet archaeology, now widely used for tumuli in the context of Eastern European and Central Asian archaeology.
The word is ultimately of Turkic origin, more specifically from Tatar according to the Oxford English Dictionary, from a word meaning "fortress".[1][2]
The distribution of such tumuli in Eastern Europe corresponds closely to the area of the Pit Grave or Kurgan culture in South-Eastern Europe.[3]
Kurgans were built in the Eneolithic, Bronze, Iron, Antiquity and Middle Ages, with old traditions still active in Southern Siberia and Central Asia. Kurgan cultures are divided archeologically into different sub-cultures, such as Timber Grave, Pit Grave, Scythian, Sarmatian, Hunnish and Kuman-Kipchak.
A plethora of placenames that include the word "kurgan" appear from Lake Baikal to the Black Sea.
Kurgan barrows were characteristic of Bronze Age peoples, from the Altay Mountains to the Caucasus, Ukraine, Romania, and Bulgaria. Burial mounds are complex structures with internal chambers. Within the burial chamber at the heart of the kurgan, elite individuals were buried with grave goods and sacrificial offerings, sometimes including horses and chariots. Kurgans were used in the Ukrainian and Russian Steppes but spread into eastern, central, and northern Europe in the third millennium BC.
The monuments of these cultures coincide with Scythian-Saka-Siberian monuments. Scythian-Saka-Siberian monuments have common features, and sometimes common genetic roots.[4] Also associated with these spectacular burial mounds are the Pazyryk, an ancient people who lived in the Altai Mountains lying in Siberian Russia on the Ukok Plateau, near the borders with China, Kazakhstan and Mongolia.[5] The archaeological site on the Ukok Plateau associated with the Pazyryk culture is included in the Golden Mountains of Altai UNESCO World Heritage Site.[6]
Scythian-Saka-Siberian classification includes monuments from the 8th century to the 3rd century BC. This period is called the Early or Ancient Nomads epoch. "Hunnic" monuments date from the 3rd century BC to the 6th century AD, and other Turkic ones from the 6th century AD to the 13th century AD, leading up to the Mongolian epoch. In all periods, the development of the kurgan structure tradition in the various ethnocultural zones can be distinguished by common components or typical features in the construction of the monuments. They include:
Depending on a combination of elements, each historical and cultural nomadic zone has its architectural peculiarities. The structures of the earlier Neolithic period from the 4th to the 3rd millenniums BC, and Bronze Age until the first millennium BC display continuity of the archaic forming methods driven by the common ritual-mythological ideas.
Pre-Scythian-Saka-Sibirian kurgans were surface kurgans and underground wooden or stone tombs constructed on the surface or underground and then covered with a kurgan. The kurgans of Bronze culture across Europe and Asia were similar to housing; the methods of house construction applied to the construction of the tombs.[7] Kurgan Ak-su - Aüly (12th - 11th centuries BC) with a tomb covered by a pyramidal timber roof under a kurgan has space surrounded by double walls serving as a bypass corridor. This design has analogies with Begazy, Sanguyr, Begasar, and Dandybay kurgans.[7] These building traditions survived into the early Middle Ages, to the 8th-10th centuries AD. The Bronze Pre-Scythian-Saka-Sibirian culture developed in close similarity with the cultures of Yenisei, Altai, Kazakhstan, southern, and southeast Amur regions. In the second millennium BC appeared so-called "kurgans-maidans". On a prepared platform were made earthen images of a swan, a turtle, a snake, or other image, with and without burials. Similar structures were found in Ukraine, in South America, and in India.
Some kurgans had facing or tiling. One tomb in Ukraine has 29 large limestone slabs set on end in a circle underground. They were decorated with carved geometrical ornamentation of rhombuses, triangles, crosses, and on one slab, figures of people. Another example has an earthen kurgan under a wooden cone of thick logs topped by an ornamented cornice up to 2 m in height.
The Scythian-Saka-Sibirian kurgans in the Early Iron Age are notable for their grandiose mounds throughout the Eurasian continent. The base diameters of the kurgans reach 500 m in Siberia (Great Salbyk kurgan of the settled Tagar culture); in neighboring China they reach 5000 m (kurgan of the first emperor of China in the 3rd century BC near Sian) (Mason, 1997: 71). Kurgans could be extremely tall: the Great Salbyk kurgan is 22 – 27 m (the height of a 7-story building); the kurgan of the Chinese emperor is over 100 m. The presence of such structures in Siberia testifies to a high standard of living and a developed construction culture of the nomads.
In the Bronze Age were built kurgans with stone reinforcements. Some of them are believed to be Scythian burials with built-up soil, and embankments reinforced with stone (Olhovsky, 1991).
The most obvious archeological remains associated with the Scythians are the great burial mounds, some over 20 m high, which dot the Ukrainian and Russian steppe belts and extend in great chains for many kilometers along ridges and watersheds. From them much has been learnt about Scythian life and art.[9]
Females were buried in about 20% of graves of the lower and middle Volga river region during the Yamna and Poltavka cultures.[10] Two thousand years later, females dressed as warriors were buried in the same region. David Anthony notes, "About 20% of Scythian-Sarmatian "warrior graves" on the lower Don and lower Volga contained females dressed for battle as if they were men, a phenomenon that probably inspired the Greek tales about the Amazons."[10] A near-equal ratio of male-to-female graves was found in the eastern Manych steppes and Kuban-Azov steppes during the Yamna culture.[10] In Ukraine, the ratio was intermediate between the other two regions.[10]
The tradition of kurgan burials touched not only the peoples who buried their deceased in kurgan structures, but also neighboring peoples without this tradition. Various Thracian kings and chieftains were buried in elaborate mound tombs found in modern Bulgaria; Philip II of Macedon, the father of Alexander the Great, was buried in a magnificent kurgan in present Greece; and Midas, a king of ancient Phrygia, was buried in a kurgan near his ancient capital of Gordion[11]
The Kurgan hypothesis postulates that the Proto-Indo-Europeans were the bearers of the Kurgan culture of the Black Sea and the Caucasus and west of the Urals. The hypothesis was introduced by Marija Gimbutas in 1956, combining kurgan archaeology with linguistics to locate the origins of the Proto-Indo-European (PIE) speaking peoples. She tentatively named the culture "Kurgan" after their distinctive burial mounds and traced its diffusion into Europe. This hypothesis has had a significant impact on Indo-European studies.
Those scholars who follow Gimbutas identify a "Kurgan culture" as reflecting an early Indo-European ethnicity which existed in the steppes and southeastern Europe from the fifth to third millennia BC. Marija Gimbutas' Kurgan hypothesis is opposed by Paleolithic Continuity Theory, which associates Pit Grave and Sredny Stog Kurgan cultures with Turkic peoples, and the Anatolian hypothesis, and is also opposed by the Black Sea deluge theory. In Kurgan cultures, most of the burials were in kurgans, either clan kurgans or individual ones. Most prominent leaders were buried in individual kurgans, now called "Royal kurgans", which attract the greatest attention and publicity.
Some excavated kurgans include:
Salbyk kurgan before excavation, 5th-4th century BC, upper Enisey-Irtysh interfluvial. Salbyk kurgan is surrounded by balbals, and topped with Kurgan stelae.
Undated unattributed unexplored kurgan on the west side of the Samara Bend, Russian Federation, with a visible tunnel made by grave robbers.
Kurgan building has a long history in Poland. The Polish word for kurgan is kopiec or kurhan.

Analysis - Industry
Mortgage Solutions | 23 Jan 2013 | 12:45Follow @mortgagesols
Last week, Barclays chief executive Antony Jenkins told the bank's employees that they needed to commit to a new set of standards – or quit.
It was a strong message and, given the FSA's latest revelations about UK banks' sales incentives, which lead to misselling, well-timed.
Barclays said it plans to train key staff in these values later this year and measure staff on those values in future performance assessments. Is this a commendable bid to overturn a toxic culture? And will it work, or are ethics codes just another PR patch on what has oft been coined a 'broken banking culture?'
For this week's Market Watch, our commentators are:
Barclays chief executive Antony Jenkins, who acknowledged the bank had become disconnected from customers in a frank letter to staff
Corporate communications consultant Stuart Bruce, who says simply introducing an ethics code is unlikely to change bank culture
Social Market Foundation senior economist Nida Broughton, who says simpler products, rather than ethics codes, is the key to restoring trust in Barclays

On Sunday, my boyfriend and I ate at the Cafe Orleans restaurant and had an amazing time. And then Jack Sparrow came out and I almost died laughing. Why you ask?
Captain Jack was walking up to where the pirates do their little musical numbers, followed by a gaggle of girls. He decided to not go there and then walked the opposite way, followed by the same gaggle of girls, and it just kept increasing. I could not stop laughing - I don't think I've seen something like this EVER. and the sad part?
i wanted to join that group of girls. ;)

Biomarker Challenges in Biosimilar Drug Development, New Life Science Webinar Hosted by Xtalks
Xtalks presents an exciting live webinar on Wednesday, November 6, 2013 at 11:00am EDT (16:00h GMT) with keynote speaker Dr. Sinnathamby Gomathinayagam, Senior Scientist at Covance's Biomarker Center of Excellence.
Toronto, Canada (PRWEB) October 29, 2013
Biologics have transformed the way several diseases have been traditionally treated and managed over the past several years. Therapeutic antibodies are a class of biologics that has been exceptionally effective in the treatment of life threatening diseases such as cancer and inflammatory diseases.
As patents and exclusivity on several originator biologics are expiring, the industry has been moving in to generate biosimilars. Biosimilars are products that are highly similar to the originator molecules with no clinically meaningful differences in safety, purity and potency.
Owing to the complexity of biological molecules and the variability of sophisticated modern processes by which they are generated, it is extremely difficult to generate fully identical biosimilars. Subtle structural and functional differences can lead to potentially serious consequences when administered into the diseased host. Regulatory agencies require the generation of physicochemical, structural and functional data on candidate biosimilars prior to approval for use in human subjects. Thus, successful development of biosimilars requires the demonstration of pharmacological similarity with the originator biologics.
This webinar focuses on Covance's experience with in vitro assays to demonstrate pharmacological similarity between biologics and biosimilars.
A Q&A with the audience will follow the main presentation.

I'm only 10 weeks and for some reason have been obsessing lately over baby gender. With my ds, I just knew he was a boy right when I found out I was pregnant. With this one, I really have no idea, neither does dh. I'm secretly hoping for a dd, just so that we will have both. I've done all the chinese lunar charts, baking soda tests, OWT, etc...all say boy. Even Ramzi theory is predicting boy! I feel so guilty feeling this way. I mean even if it is a boy, he didn't do anything wrong! Am I a horrible person for wanting a specific gender? Don't get me wrong, I would love my babies either way. I just want them healthy and happy firstly.
Gender disappointment?

#3: DD: 10/2014 (.) (.) Going For Gold!!
I have 2 boys. I was the same with with my 2nd pregnancy. With my first, I always knew it was a boy. With my 2nd, I was so sure it was a girl. Im not going to lie, when we found out we were having another boy I was upset and even cried. After a day or 2 I was happy about 2 boys, and when he was born forget it, I couldnt imagine it any other way. Now I am very happy with my 2 boys. This pregnancy is a complete surprise, and it is nice to think this could be a girl. I would be very happy, but I will also be happy with a 3rd boy, all I want is a healthy baby. But I think how you feel is normal :)

I was....not "disappointed," but, slightly (a teeny, tiny bit) bummed for about 5 seconds after the tech confirmed that DD was a girl (I already knew, but, I never had a big brother [or any brother] and always wanted one, so, I was hoping my children would have a big brother. They do. His name is Danny and he is in Heaven.). I knew in my gut DD would be a girl. I don't know why I was bummed. It had to be the hormones (and the fact that I had caffeine for the first time in my pregnancy that morning so DD would move around for the u/s). I teared up for about 5 seconds and then I was fine. I love DD and I wouldn't trade her for the world!

Netherlands vs New Zealand, Group 1, Zahur Ahmad Chaudhury Stadium, Chittagong
Netherlands put up a fighting 151/4 in their 20 overs against New Zealand at the World Twenty20 Group 1 league clash on Saturday.
Netherlands built on a steady start by Stephan Myberg and Michael Swart to accelerate towards the end overs and finish with a total that would challenge New Zealand in a crucial encounter.
Peter Borren (49 off 35) and Tom Cooper (40 off 23) took apart the New Zealand part-timers. Kane Williamson especially came in for some stick as he conceded 17 off his only over.
Netherlands, who nearly defeated South Africa on Thursday, will be looking to complete an upset win this time. New Zealand on the other hand, will try to win this match to remain in contention for the semifinals.

The inside of Eros' largest crater, which dominates one side of the asteroid, was captured in this NEAR Shoemaker image taken May 19, 2000, from an orbital altitude of 50 kilometers (31 miles). The section shown is about one quarter of the whole crater and is approximately 1.4 kilometers (0.8 miles) across. A cluster of large boulders sits at the bottom of the pit, and features as small as 4 meters (13 feet) across can be distinguished. More boulders dot the walls, which are also mottled by variations in the reflectivity of the surface layer of rock and soil, known as "regolith."

I was unsure if the space I had would be large enough when we were moving in on a holiday so the associate, Dave, by phone provided me with overflow space next to the one I was renting. He understood perfectly what I needed and how to solve my problem.Michael from Chicago, IL

My expectations were met and then some. I couldn't have asked for a better employee. I had an awesome experience!Connie from Oswego, IL

All storage facilities(including Uncle Bob's) should have an electrical outlet, so that those of us who store vehicles there, have a place to plug in a battery charger/maintainer, so when we come and remove our vehicles out of storage, we do not have to jump start them to get them out. Regardless I will use them again.Jeffrey from Schaumburg, IL

SEATTLE -- For the last week, Raymond Meuse and his family have been at his son's bedside.
We're at the point now where we can talk without breaking down, said Raymond Meuse.
Leonard Meuse, the only person to survive being shot at the Cafe Racer last week, has been through two surgeries for a .45 caliber slug that tore through his abdomen and another through his jaw.
Obviously, he's going to need a lot of dental work, said his father.
Raymond Meuse says his 46-year-old son clearly remembers the shooting, and calling 911 and the cafe's owner as he lay injured on the floor.
It wasn't until after the latest surgery that Leonard was cognizant enough to ask about his friends at the cafe.
We, of course, had to tell him that they were all killed, said Meuse. He took that pretty hard and then he asked, 'What about the killer?' And I told him he committed suicide. And the only comment he said was, 'Good.'
From there, Leonard has made a miraculous recovery, taking his first walk around the 7th floor of the hospital Thursday.
He could sit up yesterday and talk, but it was kind of slurred, said his father. Today it was normal talk, that much of a difference, and he was eating - well enough to complain about the food. It's a good sign!
Leonard Meuse is a trained pastry chef who also has a love for motorcycles. His father says he fits right into the eclectic crowd at Cafe Racer. His father says he plans to return to work as soon as he can.
Doctors tell the family Meuse could be released from the hospital in a few days.

Whats the best Fed ship for Tac Toon - Non PvP
I am a point and click mouse players - don't use keybinds - mouse only
I have lots of Fed ships but can't really settle on one for my new Fed Tac
This is what I have already tried at T5 on the Fed side(Tac/Sci/Eng):
Oddy 3 pack
Fleet Nebula
Fleet Defiant
Star Crusier
Patrol Escort
i think thats all the T5's I have.
not interested in the Carrier.
looking at Fleet Excel - but it has 3 Eng Boffs
Best fed ship for a Tactical PvEr? Fleet Patrol Escort, or Fleet Tactical Escort Retrofit. Or the Chel'Gret.
Could you specify what is wrong with all the ships listed? Maybe then somebody can provide a more accurate suggestion on what to get.
P.s I fly the Defiant-R and there is only a minor flaw, the eng tac. everything else is just perfect on that ship.
I think I just want a ship That puts out High DPS, has high hull surivablity and is decent at sci and is decent at turning and healing.
The Fleet Excel would fit that role I think - if it has another LT tac Boff station - i am just put off by the 3 Eng - but all the other stats look great.
The MVAM is the most effective PvE ship. The Lt Com sci slot offers so many options on the little escort.
Breen ship?
also double Aux2bat Fleet excel with technicians can put out horrifying firepower from behind huge hull and high shields.
I run the battery build with the time DEM doff so every other time I let rip with my BO3 and CRF the weapons power stays above 100. Have to be careful of the off cycle BO, as I have carelessly dropped my weapons power to 0 a few times. But a properly set up alpha with a weapon bat for the second round of BO CRF and you melt anything in the game. For PVE swarms swap CRF for CSV, and its drop a large ships shield facing and frag the spam around it in the first 5 seconds.
The ens eng isnt hat bad now that Eng team fixes alot of shutdown effects.
there is no single best ship for tac in sto...depends more on how you play, and what you like estheticly. The choice is yours...but if your choice falls on the star cruiser then i'm wasting my time here.
also some other ships i wouldn't even consider on that list, but thats my opinion...the star cruiser however is a waste for a tac toon and that is a fact.
the sci ships you listed, well possible, but then you should stack dmg abilitys (those get boosted by APalpha)...but in general sci vessels are not suited for tacs very well...there are exceptions ofcourse, but not on your list.
personally my tac has a fleet defiant, love it, though the multivector is ZEF too.:cool: (my opinion)
patrol escort...the fleet variant, not the basic one. have it too, most versatile of all the escorts and the most sturdy (not only on paper)
this one can pack a TBR and TSS and HE which is very handy for many, many applications...if you do not need TBR change the boff to something else. but that ability is just too damn awesome to ever not want it. dmg against unshielded stationary targets (basically all stfs) and crowd control at it's finest for starbase blockade, stf cure, infected, KA,
at the end i have to say that the breen ship may outshine them all, i have yet to test it...in january
The real funny thing is that I bought the Adv MVAM in the last sale but have yet to try it out. The Current tac I am lvling just hit 46 so I will take it out first with this one.
I have so many ships It become a bog down - especially given that I spend 75% doffing.
Perhaps I will give the Fleet Excel a try too as it is only 1 ship module.
Is there any point in PvE in using the MVAM console??

Staff Reporter
BANGALORE: The State Government on Wednesday sought time to verify figures furnished by a chain of hotels in Bangalore about the number of visitors coming to their establishments.
Empire Hotel management filed in the court details of visitors to its hotels at 10 places in Bangalore, including those who come after 11 p.m.
It said it had outlets among other places in Shivajinagar, Church Street, Castle Street, Miller Road and Koramangala.
It said lakhs of people had visited the hotels and furnished a break-up of visitors from 2005-06.
The hotel chain had challenged the imposition of restriction on timings by the city police saying that they were illegal and arbitrary.
It had said several VIPs visited its chain of hotels after 11 p.m.
The court had on an earlier hearing directed the hotel to furnish details of number of persons visiting its premises.
When the list was filed in the court, the State Government said it would verify the figures.
Justice N.K. Patil adjourned hearing of the case.
KAT order
A Division Bench comprising Chief Justice P.D. Dinakaran and Justice V.G. Sabhahit upheld the 2008 absorption rules framed by the Panchayat Raj Department relating to recruitment of staff.
The Bench refused to interfere with a Karnataka Administrative Tribunal (KAT) judgment that had upheld the 2008 rules. Some of the staff of the State Accounts Department who were deputed to the Panchayat Raj Department had challenged the rules which had given them the option of either staying back or going back to the parent department.
When the employees lost the case in the KAT, they had approached the High Court.
Justice Mohan Shantangouder ordered issue of notices to the State Government, Nandi Infrastructure Corridor Enterprise (NICE) and other respondents on a petition by Nagaratnamma and Renukamma challenging the acquisition of their lands at Gollarapalya in Yeshwanthpur, Bangalore, by the State Government for the contentious Bangalore-Mysore Infrastructure Corridor Enterprise (BMICP) being executed by NICE.
The petitioners contended that they had purchased the agricultural lands in 1987. They said they were growing several crops on the lands and there was a temple dedicated to Durga Parameshwari. They urged the court to stay the acquisition proceedings.

Can gnosis be redeemed?Today I began reading Richard Smoley's Forbidden Faith: The Secret History of Gnosticism. Right away he sets up a tension that I don't buy into: a conflict between the gnostics — those who have direct mystical experience — and the religionists, those who are the custodians of doctrine and dogma and therefore tend to be suspicious of gnosis. Oh, I suppose it's a fair assessment of a real tension between those at the center of religious power, and those whose "power" (i. … [Read more...]

It is official. The Pittsburgh Penguins have found a new gear under head coach Mike Johnston.
Nothing is a greater proof of this than their last four games, of which, they have won by a combined score of 19-3. They shut out the Predators, Kings, and Sabres; while scoring 8 goals against the Devils in the process.
It took just one month but the Pittsburgh Penguins are the most dominant team in the league.
They have a plus 19 goal differential on the season, leading the league in goals for with 4.10 goals per game. Their power play has a success rate of 41.9% with 18 goals on 43 chances.
Defensively the Penguins are again one of the best in the league. Their 2.20 goa...
It is rather rare to see a team that has made the playoffs eight season's straight fire their head coach. It is even rarer to see a team fire their General Manager after such success.
A new coach, a new system, some fresh new faces, and a different approach to free agency are just some of the major changes that have Pittsburgh fans once again clamoring for hockey.
The coach, the system, and the plausible results
Keep the puck on your stick for the majority of the game and there is a good chance you will win. Tough concept to grasp is it not?
No. For some reason it was for the former regime. Their outdated dump and chase method, plus stretch passing, led to a ...
This morning was the Pens open to the public trianing camp practices for the Penguins. A duly dull affair that serves as a reminder of those whose credo is "If it's free, it's for me." Color me as one of them.
While attending such a practice provides little more than a fix for hockey crazed junkies such as myself. The lack of discernable assesments of players and coaches alike won't stop me from taking a jovial look at the three hours I spent freezing in the middle of section 110 trying to understand just what was going in with the "controlled scrimmage"

It takes an entire team effort to lose a playoff series when you have a 3-1 lead. From the goaltending, to the defense, to the forwards, the coaches, and the management, there is no one who will be able to escape blame for this disappointment.
It starts and ends with the captain…?
This played out old adage shows that we as fans have learned nothing. You win as a team and lose as a team. Yes, Crosby has to perform better and he is a big reason the Penguins are now eliminated, but that is not the only reason, or even the majority of reasons, that Pittsburgh's season is over.
Sidney Crosby was pummeled from start to finish in this post season play. Say what you...
While Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin are playing good, with the latter having greater production but not overall greater play, the Penguins have Managed to win six games out of nine.
Not too shabby when talking about post season play. After all, winning is winning at this time of the year. Not many people are going to complain about how asetically pleasing the game was when it results in a win.
This happened to be the case on Monday, game three and the second game of the back to back which saw the Penguins dominate game 2 on Sunday. Pittsburgh held on to win a 2-0 game at MSG on the back of Marc-Andre Fleury, who had his second shutout in as many nights. This is something tha...
The Pittsburgh Penguins dropped game one of their series against the New York Rangers in terrible fashion on Friday night. There were multiple instances of horrible turnovers and poor positioning that inevitably led to a Rangers victory.
The Rangers Benoit Pouliot was the most visible player on the ice for a majority of the game. He played physical and smart, leading his team with a goal and an assist. His line mate, Derick Brassard, scored the overtime winner after a horrible Rob Scuderi turnover below the net.
Matts Zuccarello failed to register a point in the game, but certainly had himself a strong afternoon. His mix of speed and tenacity helped keep the Penguins top line ...
Team Breakdown
Pittsburgh: The Penguins managed to secure victory against the Columbus Blue Jackets by using their depth, their defense, and strong play on the puck. The Penguins had a tough time getting everything going against the very tight checking Blue Jackets, but still managed to control the puck at a 60% corsi and shake up the lines enough to avoid the preferred match ups of Columbus.
All of this plays in well against the Rangers. Pittsburgh will not have to focus exclusively on the forward match ups, mostly because New York's shut down play Boyle has not had great success against Crosby. Pittsburgh has been able to use five different lines, comprised mostly of t...
The series came to end after a dominant performance by the Penguins and a third period they kind of showed up for.
This is not entirely fair to say. The Jackets did come back in game three in an epic way. Scoring three goals in the final ten minutes to scare Pittsburgh was a great ending for all. It gives hope to the fans for next season and reminds Pittsburgh to stay humble.
Although, in all fairness Pittsburgh had to play short Joe Vitale and Brandon Sutter for the final frame. With both leaving via injury, the Penguins only had three lines available. They got caught flat footed, tired, and instantly fell into penalty trouble. The Jackets then threw everything they had...
How does a team bounce back from a game in which they surrendered four unanswered goals? They put 51 shots on net while having an even strength possession time above sixty percent.
That is how strong the Pittsburgh Penguins were on Saturday night.
Crosby and Malkin played a total of eleven minutes together in even strength situations. It was a desperate move for Dan Bylsma, but certainly paid off. Malkin and Crosby dominated the puck all night long, proving that their goal drought is nothing but bad puck luck. Crosby, Malkin, and Kunitz had 15 combined shots as a line.
Brandon Sutter hasn't just played well; Brandon Sutter has become a cataly...
Too many questions and not enough answers.
It is becoming an all too familiar storyline in the Steel City. Once thought to have a dynasty in the making, led by two of the leagues brightest and most dominant young stars, the Penguins are now perrinial playoff disappointments.
Wednesday night was no different. The Pittsburgh Penguins came out of the gate and absolutely dominated. They scored three goals in five minutes. The asserted their will and looked poised to take home a three to one advantage in the series.
Instead, the Penguins once again proved that disappointment is truly their greatest talent.
Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin have yet to score a single goal ...


text: Mobile Microsoft undercuts Google's Android patent tirade with 2 tweets August 4, 2011 7:33 AM Devindra Hardawar 0 Enterprise companies tackle mobile marketing automation slightly differently—and that's why they're on top. Register today for this free VB Insight webinar with AEG's VP of Social and Marketing on May 28th. Yesterday, Google finally took its Android patent battle to the streets in a blog post by chief legal officer David Drummond that named Apple and Microsoft as co-conspirators. Microsoft's response, which came in the form of just two tweets last night, is sort of hilarious. The first came from Microsoft's general counsel Brad Smith, who tweeted: "Google says we bought Novell patents to keep them from Google. Really? We asked them to bid jointly with us. They said no." Then there was the coup de grace from Microsoft head of communications Frank Shaw, who posted an image of an e-mail conversation between Smith and Kent Walker, SVP and general counsel at Google. It reads: Brad – Sorry for the delay in getting back to you — I came down with a 24-hour bug on the way back from San Antonio. After talking with people here, it sounds as though for various reasons a joint bid wouldn't be advisable for us on this one. But I appreciate your flagging it, and we're open to discussing other similar opportunities in the future. I hope the rest of your travels go well, and I look forward to seeing you again soon. – Kent We've asked Google for further comment on what Microsoft's response means for its initial charges and will update when we hear back. In his blog post yesterday, Drummond complained of a "hostile, organized campaign against Android" from Microsoft, Oracle, Apple and others using "bogus patents." But Microsoft's revelation makes Google less sympathetic as a victim, since it seems more likely that Google is angry it couldn't get its hands on the same patents as its competitors. Drummond also failed to bring up the fact that Google snapped up more than 1,000 IBM patents last week to protect Android. But while Google may not be the angel it's making itself out to be, the company does have a lot of patent worries when it comes to Android. Microsoft has already made a pretty penny from its "patent agreement" with HTC, wherein the manufacturer pays Microsoft a fee for every Android phone it sells in the US. The software giant has landed similar deals with Itronix and other Android phone makers. Apple also recently scored a patent win against HTC's Android phones, which could spell doom for other Android manufacturers. Via TechCrunch

If you're like me, you have probably tried hundreds of internet recipes over the years. The up side is that they're free. The down side is that you can end up wasting a lot of material which can get expensive depending on what you're using. I'm super cheap, so wasting ingredients is totally out of the question.
Some of the recipes I've tried, failed completely. Others turned out OK, but nothing really turned out exactly the way I wanted.
I wanted something I LOVED. I wanted a recipe that would give my store bought body butter a run for its money. So, I searched the internet until I found a course that taught me how to make my own products…and the rest is history.
So, if you're looking for a DIY, no fail, whipped body butter recipe, this is one of my favorites for dry winter skin.
Please note: Water is the star of any good moisturizing recipe. Body butters don't have water. Because of this, it's best used right after you shower while your skin is still a little damp. That will help lock in the moisture.
Weigh out your ingredients using a kitchen scale with the tare feature.

1.5 oz shea butter
1.5 oz coconut oil
6 oz aloe vera gel
.5 oz vitamin E (optional)
1/4 teaspoon Borax (to help emulsify optional)
15-20 drops of your favorite essential (optional)
Yields approximately 1 Cup of Body Butter
Using a double boiler method, melt the shea butter, beeswax, and coconut oil. As you can see, I don't use anything fancy!
Once completely melted, put them in a mixing bowl and let them cool until the color goes from clear to opaque. Depending on the weather, it's usually about 20 minutes.
In a separate bowl or measuring cup, mix the aloe vera gel, vitamin E, essential oils and borax if you're using it. Note that the more vitamin E you use, the tackier (and greasier) your body butter is going to feel. I usually use less than a half ounce if I use it at all.
Slowly pour the aloe vera, vitamin E, and essential oil mixture into the cooled oils while blending. It will start out yellow in color.
Continue slowly adding the aloe vera mixture and blending until your body butter turns white. Be sure you don't blend the mixture too much because it will get watery and start to separate.
I usually transfer this to a glass pyrex dish with a cover and store it in a cool, dark place to prevent oxidation. And there you have it!
The shelf life on this is about 30 days. We go through it so fast that I don't really worry about it going rancid. That being said, you want to use the same precautions you would while canning food. Make sure your utensils are clean and sterilized, your containers are clean and sterilized, your hands are clean, etc.
I get all the ingredients I use from Mountain Rose Herbs (affiliate link). I love their company, the quality of their products, and the way they do business.
If you try the recipe, please come back to tell me what you think! Thanks for reading and enjoy.

There is a fine line between paying homage to another movie and simply ripping it off. This movie crossed that line.
To me the JJ movies scream
"I must make a Star Trek movie. But I don't really want to make a Star Trek movie. So I do everything different. First of all I want an awesome ship like a Star Destroyer! What, there is an older ship I must copy for it to be Star Trek? WTF, it looks like a plastic duck. Okey wait, I'll just add TONS AND TONS AND TONS of lights and moving parts to it!
Now for a cool alien race I want evil space orcs from HELL!!!! What, I must include Klikons? Kwigwons? Oh Klingons, what the hell are those? God they look horrible, I want orcs in my movie like in LOTR! Okey I'll just make them look like evil space orcs, and call them Klingons!
Prime Directive? WTH people I can't take all these silly restrictions into consideration when I'm copying...err writing... the script. Okey, tell you what, I'll sacrifice 5 minutes of my movie to show the crew breaking the prime directive! That'll show those Trek fans!"
i.e. I'm not a big fan.

ROY told Sheila she was the only one who could get Hayley out of prison by telling the police Alex was violent. But no matter how hard he pleaded, Sheila refused to do it.
Roy was surprised when he got home from visiting Hayley and found Wayne in the cafe. Wayne was upset when he heard Hayley was in prison and thought he could do something to help.
The next day he walked into the cafe with Sheila, who was very frightened and covered in bruises. Sheila said if Roy still wanted her to go to the police she would do it. After that Hayley was released from prison and Alex was charged.
Martin and Sally shared another passionate kiss and started seeing each other in secret.
After nearly being caught out a couple of times, Sally spilled the beans to Rita. Her advice was to wait until they were certain a relationship was what they both wanted before going public with the news.
Gail was devastated when the police said they could not charge Gary Adams with assaulting Sarah as there was no evidence.
Fred was shocked when he found out Eve had lost her job some weeks ago but had been too embarrassed to tell him.
A bar job was going in the Rovers and Fred asked Duggie if he'd take her on there. Duggie refused but then Fred offered to pay Eve's wages so he agreed.
Jack went missing on his and Vera's 44th wedding anniversary but it was all part of a ploy to surprise Vera with a romantic meal of fish and chips in the potting shed.
Eileen quit her job after having a huge row with Karen at the taxi company's night out.
Norris did some research into Curly's strange illness and decided he was suffering from Couvade Syndrome - phantom pregnancy symptoms.
MARGARET surprised Terry by organising a weekend in Paris and he promised they would go. Then, while they were alone together, Margaret told Janine she planned to propose to Terry there.
Terry meanwhile told Janine he would give Margaret the pounds 10,000 she needed to send her brother to America for treatment.
That infuriated Janine, so when Terry gave Margaret his passport to look after Janine went to the flat to try and get it back. But when she got there she was shocked to see Margaret with another man.
Although the man really was her brother, Janine told Terry what she'd seen and he confronted Margaret. There was a massive row and they split up. While Terry was miserable and sitting alone, Margaret was telling her brother they would raise the money somehow.
The police were suspicious about the fire in E20 but Steve kept Mel's name out of it. He was really feeling the pressure and after another row with Lisa he went home and in a rage tore up Mel's wedding dress then phoned Karen and asked her over.
Harry told Peggy he had to go back to Menorca and asked if she would go with him. Peggy was thrilled but thought it over and, after finding out Phil owned half of the Vic, decided to stay in Walford.
The exam results came in and Sonia did really well, Martin's were average and Asif's were brilliant. Pauline was feeling more and more isolated so she invited Dot, Jim and the family to a Bank Holiday dinner to celebrate the results.
Jim took Dot away for the weekend but had to sell his dad's watch, use housekeeping money and steal some from Sonia to pay for it.
CHARITY denied all the allegations of having an affair, which left Chris unsure who to believe - his sister or his girlfriend?
He desperately wanted to believe Charity and started questioning the people in the village. When Paddy told him he knew all about the affair Chris asked for concrete evidence but there wasn't any.
In the end it was Charity who decided she'd had enough of the whole thing. She packed her bags and moved into the B&B. She told Chris their relationship was over and then told Zoe the same thing. Both of them were absolutely heartbroken.
Nicola decided the time had come to forget about Carlos and move on in life. But no sooner had she reached this conclusion than it dawned on her that she may be pregnant, and if she was it would be Carlos's baby.
Nicola felt worse because her sister Bernice was also pregnant with a doting husband, but had no idea that both their babies could have the same father.
Bernice was worried that even though her affair with Carlos was over, word would still get out. She had a huge fright when she saw Ashley showing off the pictures from the baby scan to Carlos, who became very emotional.
Marlon came up with the idea of having a beach-themed barbecue but Rodney took it as his own and announced he was going to throw a beach party in the Woolpack. He even made the waitress wear as little as possible to add to the atmosphere.
Despite the fact that Angie and Sean were back together, the history of her fling with Cain still hung over her.
Chloe invited Marlon out. This ruined Scott's plans of a romantic evening with her and made him even more convinced she had feelings for Marlon.
MICK was sitting alone in his house downing large whiskies when Jimmy turned up at the door to check on him.
Mick told him to go away but Jimmy refused and eventually got inside. The two of them started talking and Mick explained how he had accused Max of murdering Susannah, then tried to kill him with his own bare hands.
It was obvious Mick was very shaken up and spiralling into a deep depression. It was only when Jimmy started talking about his own life and suicide attempt that Mick realised it was up to him to sort himself out. He decided to change his life and the first step was to leave the Close and visit Gemma and Leo.
Jacqui was tending to Max's wounds from the previous night when she asked why he hadn't called the police. Panicking, Max told her that he thought Mick had enough problems without involving them as well.
Mick knocked at the front door to apologise and Max was glad to hear he was going, and glad that he had not managed to exact a confession out of him the night before.
After everything that had happened, Jacqui told Max she would move in with him if that's what he really wanted. Max was thrilled and, taking things one step further, asked if she would marry him. Jacqui said she would consider it but couldn't answer straight away, then went to see Rachel and ask her advice. She came away having decided to accept the proposal and when she told Max they agreed to marry as soon as possible.
Adele was nervous about her GCSE results but she and Steve had a heart to heart and he put her at ease, telling her she should aim to get into university. Adele was relieved when she got all As and Bs.
STEPH went to see Larry and explain that it wasn't safe to visit him any more, but as she was driving along on her bike she noticed a car following her.
Steph pulled onto a dirt track but the car stayed behind her until she eventually ran out of fuel.
She decided to run for it but was brushed by a passing car and concerned motorists stopped to see if she was all right.
But so did the driver who had been chasing her, and he turned out to be Barry Burke, the same guy Larry had recently beaten up.
He claimed to be a friend and tried to carry Steph to the car but she started screaming and some onlookers ran to her rescue.
Darcy and Tess went to the ballet together and had a great evening. They enjoyed it so much the romance of the night got the better of them and they ended up kissing.
Tess was furious and ashamed of herself the next day but they both agreed it was a one-off mistake and Dione should never be told about it.
Ever since finding a receipt from the jewellers, Felicity has believed Joel was going to ask her to marry him. So when he handed her a small jewellery box as a gift, she flung her arms around him and said "yes", completely oblivious to the bewildered look on his face.
Toadie was furious with Dione because he thought she had tried to set him up with a friend of hers, Sheena. It turned out she had had nothing to do with it so Toadie apologised to Sheena and they went out for dinner where they both had a lovely time.
Joe decided to look after Harold's allotment since he hadn't done anything with it since Madge died.
Karl and Drew bonded after talking about Libby's pregnancy.
RUTH was excited about her surprise romantic break as she set off in the car with John. She was impressed with the hotel he took her to until she realised he was attending a conference there and had simply brought her along.
Despite trying to make the most of the situation, Ruth realised John was more interested in talking to the other delegates than to her and she started to go off him.
Helen continued to support Lewis in his attempt to give up gambling but she had no idea of the enormity of the mess he was in, so her help was of little comfort.
Lewis was desperate to keep up with his repayments to the loan shark. He went to The Loft where he started pouring vodka onto the sofa, ready to start a fire and claim the insurance. But then Ruth turned up and stopped him. Lewis explained what he was about to do and admitted he owed a lot of money. He was begging Ruth to let him carry on when they heard Anna crying for help from the toilets. She thought she was losing her baby so they called an ambulance and she was rushed to hospital.
Tony was in trouble when Will found out he had been mixing cannabis into the sauce he was selling on his stall. It turned out Tony's little helper, Lee, had gone to pick more herbs from the garden when they ran out and accidentally took leaves from the cannabis plant.
Luke got drunk one night and tried getting amorous with Laura. She told him she wasn't interested which made him angry and he ended the relationship. Mr Morgan saw his estranged wife going out in a new dress and realised she had found herself a new man. Luke and Adam told him that she was seeing Will.

Shake it off, Homer....this is part of it!
Dobbs wasting pitches, count is still full.
Dobbs singles to RF. Felize up.

This will not change until the Reds win the World Series.......

Love to see Homer get through the 6th with no further damage. 6 innings with 2 ER is not a bad line at all, especially with 6 K and no BB.

On it, Feliz grounds to SS, force out at 2nd.
I will happily take 6 innings of 2 run ball, especially against THIS offense any day of the week, if in fact his night is over.
Add 6 Ks and 0 bbs!

NFL players say Goodell attempted to 'divide'
MARCO ISLAND, Fla. NFL players and their leadership tried to make a few things perfectly clear Friday:
They consider the letter Commissioner Roger Goodell sent them a day earlier an attempt to create "dissension."
They refute the league's contention that the union walked away from negotiations.
They dispute the owners' depiction of their last-minute offer made last Friday. They say it wasn't close to acceptable because it would have made salaries a fixed cost and eliminated the players' chance to share in higher-than-projected revenue growth. They say the proposal would cut players' take of more than $9 billion in annual revenues from 50 percent to 45 percent in the first year of a new contract.
Pete Kendall, the former union's permanent player representative, called the league's offer "kind of the old switcheroo." Pittsburgh Steelers safety Ryan Clark, his team's main representative, called it "probably the worst deal in sports history," echoing words used by NFLPA chief executive DeMaurice Smith in a radio appearance.
"If the union had a problem, the best course of action would have been to make a counterproposal, continue to discuss the issue, or explain the problem," NFL spokesman Greg Aiello wrote in an e-mail to The Associated Press. "They were in such a hurry to get out of the room last Friday and file their lawsuit that they never mentioned this ... issue."
Mediation cut off a week ago, and the union dissolved itself, allowing players to file a class-action antitrust suit in federal court. Hours later, when the old collective bargaining agreement expired, owners locked out the players. That created the sport's first work stoppage since 1987, and players can't sign new contracts or get paid under existing ones. Their health insurance premiums are not being paid by teams.
A hearing on the players' request for a preliminary injunction to stop the lockout is scheduled for April 6 in Minneapolis, and there appears to be little chance of a return to bargaining before then.
Aiello wrote that the league "made it clear" there would be an opportunity for players to get a share of extra revenues starting in 2015. He continued: "The union is now saying that instead of further negotiations the best thing to do was walk out of mediation, pretend to no longer be a union, and file a lawsuit. Those actions simply make no sense."
In a speech Friday to players at the NFLPA's annual meeting, Smith said he won't be paid during the work stoppage - the league's first since 1987. Goodell and NFL general counsel Jeff Pash, the league's lead labor negotiator, already said they would reduce their salaries to a dollar each.
"Our players are locked out," Smith said during a brief session with reporters. "The league made a unilaterial decision to punish the people who made this game great."
Smith said he does not consider Goodell's letter - e-mailed to all active players Thursday - an attempt to engage in good-faith negotiations. The league, he said, could attempt to restart talks by writing, instead, to lawyers representing the players now that the union has dissolved.

Dear Andrea:
Ever since I was nine or so, I've had unexplored dominant-role power exchange fantasies. Now they are at odds with my marriage of 20-plus years (my wife isn't into it) and my worldview/faith. I feel pretty strongly that I'm fooling myself when I think that finding a similarly-situated woman to clandestinely and mutually scratch this itch would somehow be cathartic and result in resolution once and for all, but the fantasy persists. Are these type of fantasies typically lifelong? Do they wane with age?
Dear Hope:
Is it national S-M month or something? Shouldn't I have been flooded with gay, lesbian, bisexual, transexual, and questioning questions all June instead? I do like a good S-M question, of course. I was just wondering.
I doubt you experienced those childhood urges as "dominant-role power exchange fantasies." I guess, rather, that you really enjoyed playing pirates, but only if you got to tie the prisoners to the mast and do weird stuff to them, and you never wanted to be the prisoner yourself. And eventually your friends got bored or irritated, but you wanted to keep playing. Likewise, I assume that more recently you've been doing some reading and now you recognize your youthful leanings for what they may have been: early indicators of later inclinations.
These types of fantasies are fairly likely to be lifelong, but like any other enthusiasm they are apt to wax and wane with the seasons, the hormones, and the circumstances. One of those circumstances may be deprivation, but I have to say that it's just as likely to be immersion if sex breeds sex (and it does), then kink no doubt breeds kink as well. Therefore, indulging in online simulacra or other noncorporeal outlets is not necessarily a cure for inappropriate fantasizing. (Hold that thought.)
"Wait," you say. "What's so inappropriate about S-M fantasies? I thought Andrea was kinda in favor of those?" Maybe I am and maybe I amn't, but that's beside the point. It is obvious, given your commitment to your marriage and your wife's lack of interest, your power-play longings are not doing you any favors, so dwelling on them may not turn out to be very helpful. Individual real-life appropriateness aside, I actually think S-M is morally neutral: great for some people, a bad choice for others, and, as my Hispanophone friend Melissa would say, bla bla y bla.
Now, is it really a bad idea to immerse oneself in S-M fantasies if one will not be indulging them in real life? No, of course it isn't. If there is one tenet by which all sex educators swear, it is that fantasy is fantasy and reality is reality, and there is no obligation that ever the twain should meet. If, however, the fantasy ignites and will not quiet, and you find yourself spending ever more of your precious waking hours obsessing on it, then cultivating a very rich fantasy life is probably not for you.
Ah, but you didn't really ask about fantasy. You asked about finding a real person, similarly unfulfilled at home, and embarking on a S-M-only clandestine nonromance. And I say, in the immortal words of Rocky the Flying Squirrel, "That trick never works!"
Is it possible to have a partner with whom one only does S-M, no sex, and with whom one does not fall in love? Emphatically yes. Is it a good idea to do this without one's spouse's agreement? Of course not. Add in the special intimacy, false or not, that you and such a partner would likely forge, based largely on the seductive call of "my partner doesn't understand me," and really, just no. I didn't miss the part about your worldview and faith being incompatible with acting on any of this, either.

Proponents of election spending limits urged Nebraska to join a national effort Thursday to overturn the U.S. Supreme Court's controversial Citizens United decision. Four years ago, the high court ruled political spending is a form of free speech.

8 Ways To Get Involved On The Anniversary of Citizens United
Four years later, Citizens United is about more than money in politics
Tuesday January 21st, 2014 will mark the fourth anniversary of the Citizens United ruling. A new op-ed by FSFP Legal Director Ron Fein, published recently in McClatchy, talks about how this ruling means far more than solely an increase of big money's influence in our politics. Check out the piece below.
Together We're Making It Happen - New Joint Petition With Represent.Us
It's been four years this month since the Supreme Court's 2010 Citizens United decision that equated corporations with people and allowed unlimited corporate spending in our elections.

Claude Julien says Johnny Boychuk is 'fine'
|05.24.11 at 3:53 am ET
The Bruins got a bit of a scare in the third period of their 3-1 vicctory in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference finals when Lightning forward Steve Downie took a run at B's defenseman Johnny Boychuk and sent Boychuk down the tunnel and out of the game. Downie went off for boarding, and though Boychuk didn't take another shift, the encouraging news was that he made his way back to the bench for the end of the contest. Coach Claude Julien said he did not see the hit, but that the defenseman is OK.
"Johnny is fine," Julien said. "I haven't had an opportunity to look at it. I haven't watched the video yet. I know some people have, but from what I hear it's not a great hit. I'll maybe save my comments more for after I see it."
Boychuk logged 16:09 of ice time before leaving after the play, which occured at 10:54 of the third.
