Time to do repairLess than 15 mins

2 out of 2 people found this instruction helpful
First I unplugged the washing machine and turned off the water. Located on the back of the machine there are 2-5/16 "screws that hold the top secure, removing these screws gave me access to the water mixing valve. One 1/4 " screw holds the valve in place to the back of the machine, removing this screw alowed me to remove the valve from the back of the washer. Then disconnecting the water lines and electrical lines from the valve assembly in my hand was easy, with a 5/16"nut driver for the water line hose under the washer lid. The electrical lines just un plug. Repeating these steps in reverse made this job easy. After fixing our washing machine we could not believe how much faster the tub filled up. This will probably save us some on electricity, it use to take about 20 minutes to fill the tank now its filling up in about 5 minutes. Thank you so much for your timely delivery and affordable pricing. I will recommend Parts Select to my family and friends for there future needs! Thank You Anthony

English Language Learning
ELL supports all U of T undergraduates enrolled in the Faculty of Arts and Science whose first language is not English (ESL or multilingual students), as well as native speakers seeking to improve their English language skills.
- ELL010H1 - Intensive Academic English
- Communication Cafe
- Reading eWriting
- ELL Student Association
- Resources for Students
- Peer Mentors Program
ELL supports all U of T undergraduates enrolled in the Faculty of Arts and Science whose first language is not English (ESL or multilingual students), as well as native speakers seeking to improve their English language skills. Whether you are
- a new international student
- a student who has lived and studied in Canada for a number of years
- a student whose environment outside of school is not primarily in English
- or a native-speaker student who finds formal, academic English challenging
--ELL can help you! Take an 8-day non-credit summer course, ELL010H1, Intensive Academic English, open to students in all colleges. Participate each term in a 5-week series of communication workshops (Communication Café) and a 3-week writing activity online (Reading eWriting).
ELL takes a holistic approach, encouraging students to immerse themselves in English to improve reading, writing, speaking, critical thinking, and listening skills. All of these skills are interconnected, so improving all of them together can lead to faster progress in learning. Our course and workshops give students strategies for improving their language skills now and in the years to come.
ELL has a friendly atmosphere and welcomes students of all ages, backgrounds, and levels of English.
Read the A&S news article about the ELL program.
ELL010H1F Intensive Academic English, April 29-May 8, 2015
Class will meet from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. weekdays only, in Sidney Smith Hall, room 2135.
Open to students in all colleges (Faculty of Arts & Science undergraduates at the St.George campus only). No credit and no grades are given in ELL010H1F.
Register on ROSI along with your Summer 2015 courses. This course does not conflict with summer courses. The academic fee of $200 will be waived if you complete the course. Students must still pay incidental fees; these are not waived.
Priority given to students in Year 1 and Year 2.
Note that after priority controls are removed on ROSI, students in all years will be able to register for any remaining spaces in ELL010H1F. This includes graduating Year 4 students. If you find that the course is full, please put your name on the wait list, as spaces may become available.
You will also meet other students and learn about the language support services available to you at U of T. Course details here.
ELL010H1F will also be offered August 24-September 2, 2015. Priority in August 2015 will be given to incoming Year 1 students in all colleges, with some spaces for Year 2 and Year 3 students. Remaining spaces will be open to students in all years. Registration will be on ROSI along with Fall 2015 courses. Watch this website for details or contact the ELL coordinator at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Focusing on your language skills can lead to improvements in your course work!
ELL offers a series of 1.5 hour workshops in the first 5 weeks of each term as well as a 3-week writing activity online. Students can improve their skills in reading, writing, critical thinking, and group discussion. There is no fee for these activities. You do not have to attend all sessions, or participate in both on-site and online work. However, you will gain maximum benefit by coming to a weekly on-site Cafe (offered at 4 different times and at 4 colleges for convenience) for 5 weeks and doing the writing activity online. Our approach is holistic, immersing students in a stimulating interactive learning environment in which many language skills are exercised simultaneously.
Meet with others to develop language skills!
The Communication Cafe will meet next from January 5 - February 6, 2015.
Winter 2015 Communication Cafe schedule
- world painting and photography
- Canadian literature, history and politics
- persuasive presentations, interviews, and debates
- science and business ethics
- vocabulary games and dramatic role-play
Cafe workshops provide practice in pronunciation, arguing a point, and participating in group discussions. Our cross-cultural atmosphere is very welcoming, and all student experiences are valued. Native speakers of English may also participate, and many students returning to university after an absence find our activities helpful. New members are welcomed at each meeting. Come to one cafe, or come to all!
Attend regularly and earn a Certificate of Participation, which will be noted on the new Co-Curricular Record. To earn the certificate, students must attend a minimum of 6 cafe sessions over one or more terms. You may attend more than one activity per week, at more than one location. The certificate recognizes the following:
- contributions to student life (e.g., welcoming new participants, fostering positive interactions among students, etc.)
- qualities of good leadership (e.g. problem-solving and encouraging others, using creativity and humor, etc.)
- improvement of language skills over the term or year
Reading eWriting
"Meet" with an ELL instructor online to work on your academic reading and writing!
Reading eWriting is an email exchange with a writing centre instructor. The goal is to strengthen the speed and ease with which you read, reason, and write. The method is an effective way to build reading strategies and vocabulary. Since there is no grade/penalty, this method enhances your ability to develop ideas more rapidly without feeling "blocked." Try it and see!
Reading eWriting will be offered in Winter 2015 as a free, 3-week program. Session #1 starts on January 9, 2015, and Session #2 starts on January 30, 2015. Registration starts November 17, 2014!

Check this out:
Associated Press, Wednesday, October 3, 3:23 PMhttp://www.washingtonpost.com/...
ISTANBUL — The office of Turkey's prime minister says Turkish artillery has fired on Syrian targets after deadly shelling from the Syrian side hit a Turkish border town.
The Turkish statement says the artillery fired "on points in Syria that were detected with radar, in line with the rules of engagement."
Suicide bombers apparently targeted an officers' club in the heart of Syria's commercial capital.
The artillery fire on Wednesday followed shelling, believed to be from Syrian government forces that hit the Turkish village of Akcakale. A Turkish ruling party official says five people died.
More here:
The once impressive facade of the Riga Palace Hotel was left a ragged patchwork of concrete. A further bomb just off the square, near Bab Jenine, wreaked similar damage on the chamber of commerce.http://www.telegraph.co.uk/...
Syria's state news agency put the death toll at 31. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said 48 people died.
Residents told The Daily Telegraph that most of the victims were members of the security forces lodging in the buildings during the fighting which has consumed the city since mid-July.
"This area was where the regime housed many of its officers, and the hotels were full of its soldiers," said a resident and opposition activist who called himself Abo Hamdo and who had just returned from the scene.
State media said the explosions were caused by suicide car bombers, and the footage showed a huge crater in the road nearby though no vehicle wreckage. The rest of the square, which connects the historic Old City to the south-east with the municipal park and prosperous, regime-held new city to the north and west, was reduced to dust.
The scale of the damage suggested far bigger explosive charges than those in previous car bombings, and there were immediate, competing conspiracy theories about whether the government version of events was true.

@ develito......Nah im not a milionaire playboy, so sry cannot sponsor u
@ failed.........well before having students we need to have the "main group", however cannot see how u would save money by being a student as everybody would pay the same share of rent of apart/house and otherwise have the same daily expenses, ie food, membership of club, paying for the future level player that we would "attach" to our group (my idea is that the player with the highest level in the group would get more playing time with the future level player and the player with the lowest level the least time with the future level player, for obvious reasons, but everybody would contribute the same to this guys "salary", some 1-2k usd/month, depending on the country whare we would base ourselves).
With a group of 3-5 in a amazing country like Argentina this could prob. be done for as little a 1500 usd/month all exp. included!
@ Bud and Granitechief...... tx alot for the sugestions to do this in San Diego or Santa Barbara. Sounds awesome with all the great players and tournaments. My only concern would be that it would be difficult to get enough playing time with future level players within a reasonable budget and aspect is pivotal to achieving the planned progress within a year.
@SusanDK......Well I assume that the German system work much like the Danish and winter is coming up etc
Thank u to the words of encouragement that means alot
and to the sceptics, without u guys I guess my journey wouldnt be quite the same so thank u for doing ur part
@ spacediver....great thead on whip physics, btw.

As a line medic for a light infantry unit in Iraq and an aid station medic in Afghanistan, I have some experience with trying to stay cool as well as seeing what happens to those who don't stay cool/hydrated enough. Being on our feet isn't exactly the same as being on a bike, but I can still tell you what worked for me.
First of all, stay hydrated! Your body's cooling system works by losing water. You need to constantly drink liquids to keep your body running. Caffeine and alcohol are both diuretics, which mean they cause you to piss out more than you take in. Avoid these... At least before a particularly long hot leg of your trip. And remember, proper hydration starts the night before, not the morning that you leave.
I've seen many, many cases of heat exhaustion... Not a fun thing to go through, especially if you find yourself on your bikes a long way from anything. Heat exhaustion can rapidly progress to heat stroke. I've seen only one case of heat stroke. Very scary. The man was very lucky to live through it. I know I am being a bit dramatic, but I just want to emphasize how important staying hydrated is... so along with that, make sure to carry plenty of extra water for just in case. Even if you don't have room for it, make room.
Second of all, any of those gel-filled cooling vests, neck bands, etc. are spectacular. The cooling they provide is really pretty modest, but every little bit helps, and it really makes a big difference by the end of the day. They work just like a wet shirt, but they last a lot longer. They would last for several hours on a mission while walking. I don't know how long they would last on a motorcycle with the wind beating against them though.

Guaranteed good times in Budapest
I fell in love with this city, I stayed way longer than I initially planed too. I really can't say enough, from the incredible churches, the amazing parliament building, and of course the Roman baths. There no shortage of things to see and do during the day. And at night, there are the ruin bars, probably the coolest bars I have ever set foot in, they pretty well guarantee a good night out. I can't say enough about this city.
Insider Tip:Go to Bors for an amazing sandwich for roughly 2 euros. Go to the island water park and baths, no crowds and great facilities. Do not miss the ruin bars instant and simlpa. Stay at Carpe Nocteum Vitae if your a young traveler solo or in a small group.

SEATTLE, Nov. 28, 2012 – Swedish Medical Center's First Hill and Ballard campuses were honored today with an 'A' Hospital Safety Score by The Leapfrog Group, an independent national nonprofit run by employers and other large purchasers of health benefits. The A score was awarded in the latest update to the Hospital Safety Score – the A, B, C, D or F scores assigned to U.S. hospitals based on preventable medical errors, injuries, accidents, and infections. The Hospital Safety Score was compiled under the guidance of the nation's leading experts on patient safety and is designed to give the public information they can use to protect themselves and their families.
Just as all breast cancers are not alike, the impact of breast cancer is not the same for all women. African American women are less likely to get breast cancer than Caucasian women, but they are about 40% more likely to die of it when they do get it. African American women are also more likely to be diagnosed with breast cancer at a younger age than Caucasian women and to have more advanced cancers at diagnosis.
There appear to be multiple reasons for these disparities - including cultural beliefs / misperceptions about screening and cancer; lack of access to screening; inequities in healthcare delivery and treatment; concerns about being exposed to racism by healthcare institutions; and biological differences in the cancers themselves.
For many of us, a massage is a reward we give ourselves after a stressful week or while on a dream vacation. However, what about a massage after one of life's most physical – and often painful – events: childbirth.
Childbirth is always unpredictable, but postpartum recovery doesn't have to be. A postnatal massage service (Postnatal Body Therapy™ by Bavia™) is now available at the Swedish/Issaquah campus...
Bring the family and get into the holiday spirit at the Swedish/Issaquah Holidays at the Hospital. There's something for everyone: a pancake breakfast, pictures with Santa, and lots of kids' activities. Holiday cheer awaits you at the hospital on December 1 from 9 a.m. to noon.

Nearly everyone notices vision problems, especially as you get older. In the great majority of cases, this is simply due to changes in the focusing capacity of the lens, and the solution is wearing glasses. However, it isn't safe to assume that this is always the case. It's important to have your eyes examined by a trained professional to determine whether something more serious is affecting the eye or the vision nerve.
In the video below you'll learn about something I commonly see in my practice – vision loss from a tumor of the pituitary gland that is putting pressure on the vision nerves. This type of vision loss typically reduces the peripheral vision to either side. This can be diagnosed by a test at the eye doctor called Visual Fields. As in this case, a relatively simple operation can reverse the vision problem before it becomes permanent. The key is early diagnosis. If you notice that your peripheral vision is affected, ask your eye doctor to check visual fields.
Sudden hearing loss is a serious condition that needs immediate medical attention. As the name suggests, there is typically no warning, nor is there any way to predict who is at risk. Sudden hearing loss affects about 4000 new cases per year in the United States. It can affect one or both ears. Tinnitus and a feeling of fullness in the ear(s) often accompany the hearing loss.
In all cases, each patient needs to be seen by both an Audiologist and an ENT/Otologist. After taking a history and looking in the patient's ears to assure that there is no wax causing the problem; a battery of audiometric tests is performed. The purpose of the testing is to determine the degree of the hearing loss and also to determine whether the sudden loss is due to malfunction of the hearing nerve or a problem in the middle ear. Hearing loss due to a problem in the hearing nerve or cochlea is called "sensorineural" and a loss that is caused by a problem in the middle ear is called "conductive." You can also have a combination of the two, which is called a "mixed loss". Different medical treatments are used for each of these types of hearing loss.
After the hearing testing is completed, and it is determined that the patient has sensorineural hearing loss, the patient is seen by the Physician for assessment and a treatment plan. Treatment often involves steroids, either taken orally or via an injection through the eardrum or both. This treatment is often repeated. During that time, it is important to have serial audiograms to follow any possible changes in hearing thresholds and/or speech discrimination ability.
What is the cause of sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL)?
It can be caused ....

From the PublisherLucas's linkage of finds, buildings and wider landscapes into a theoretical framework shows historical archaeology at its best.
Paul Courtney, Post Medieval Archaeology
This book examines how colonial identities were constructed in the Cape Colony of South Africa since its establishment in the 17th century up to the 20th century. It is an explicitly archaeological approach but which also draws more widely on documentary material to examine how different people in the colony—from settler to slave—constructed identities through material culture. The book explores three key groups: The Dutch East India Company, the free settlers and the slaves, through a number of archaeological sites and contexts. With the archaeological evidence, the book examines how these different groups were enmeshed within racial, sexual, and class ideologies in the broader context of capitalism and colonialism, and draws extensively on current social theory, in particular post-colonialism, feminism and Marxism. This book is aimed primarily at archaeologists, but will also attract historians and those interested in cultural theory and material culture studies. Specifically, historical archaeologists and students of historical archaeology will be the primary readership and buyers.

Build a Currency Converter with jQuery Mobile and Cordova: Rate Updates
Build a Currency Converter with jQuery Mobile and Cordova
- Build a Currency Converter with jQuery Mobile and Cordova: Introduction
- Build a Currency Converter with jQuery Mobile and Cordova: Constructing The Interface
- Build a Currency Converter with jQuery Mobile and Cordova: JavaScript and User Settings
- Build a Currency Converter with jQuery Mobile and Cordova: Translation and Conversion Logic
- Build a Currency Converter with jQuery Mobile and Cordova: Rate Updates
- Build a Currency Converter with jQuery Mobile and Cordova: Finishing The App
In the previous article in this series, I described the classes and functions needed to perform currency conversions within our app. I also illustrated the Cordova Globalization API and how we can use it to translate the written instructions on the main page of "Currency Converter." In this next installment, I'll show you the remaining functions of the
functions.js file and a brief overview of the Cordova Connection and InAppBrowser APIs.
Utility Functions
Updating the "Last Update" Label
In the introductory article of this series, I explained that our project will store the downloaded currency rates so that the user can use the application offline. Since the currency exchange rates change every day, it's important to notify the user of how old his exchange rates are. If he feels that they are too old, he can run an update and download the latest. For this reason, the main page has the following code:
Last update of exchange rates:
 having
id="last-update" is where we'll inject the date of the last update. Th date will be written in the format that best suits the user preferences determined by the Globalization API, which I explained in the previous article. Recalling the third article where we talked about the user settings, you should recall that we update and save the date each time the user request an exchange rates update via the
Settings class and its methods.
The function that updates the text of the above
 tag is
updateLastUpdate(), and its markup is the following:
function updateLastUpdate() { if (typeof Settings.getSettings().lastUpdate === 'undefined') { $('#last-update').text('-'); return; } // Show the last time the rates have been updated navigator.globalization.dateToString( new Date(Settings.getSettings().lastUpdate), function (date) { $('#last-update').text(date.value); }, function () { $('#last-update').text('-'); } ); }
Updating the Rates
The method that deals with the actual updating is
updateExchangeRates(). At the very beginning of the method, there is a test to verify whether the device is connected to the Internet or not. The test is done using the Cordova Connection API—an object that gives access to the device's cellular and wifi connection information. It has one property called
type that checks the active network connection that is being used and can assume the following values (as constants):
- Connection.UNKNOWN
- Connection.ETHERNET
- Connection.WIFI
- Connection.CELL_2G
- Connection.CELL_3G
- Connection.CELL_4G
- Connection.NONE
If the device has an active connection, the function makes a call to the European Central Bank RSS feed to retrieve the rates using the jQuery
ajax() method. Once retrieved, the rates are stored using the
Currency class, and the
lastUpdate data of the user's settings is updated as well, so the user knows that they're working with the latest currency exchange rates.
The two select boxes and the "last update" label of the main page are updated using this current data. Then, the two select menus are filled using a function called
fillCurrenciesSelection(), which I'll describe in a few moments. As a final note, if the rate update fails, the user is notified with an alert of this failure shown using the Cordova Notification API.
So, what exactly will happen if the first test fails? Well, if the device does not have an active Internet connection, the app will check if there are any stored rates. If there are no stored currency exchange rates, the user is notified of the issue, and the "Convert" button is disabled, because there aren't any ways to run any currency conversions.
The code that implements this functionality is listed below:
/** * Update the exchange rates using the ECB web service */ function updateExchangeRates() { if (navigator.network.connection.type !== Connection.NONE) { $.mobile.loading( 'show', { text: 'Updating rates...', textVisible: true } ); $.get( 'http://www.ecb.int/stats/eurofxref/eurofxref-daily.xml', null, function(data) { var $currenciesElements = $(data).find('Cube[currency]'); // The EURO is the default currency, so it isn't in the retrieved data var currencies = [new Currency('EUR', '1')]; var i; for(i = 0; i < $currenciesElements.length; i++) { currencies.push( new Currency( $($currenciesElements[i]).attr('currency'), $($currenciesElements[i]).attr('rate') ) ); } currencies.sort(Currency.compare); // Store the data for(i = 0; i < currencies.length; i++) currencies[i].save(); // Update settings var settings = Settings.getSettings(); if ($.isEmptyObject(settings)) settings = new Settings(); settings.lastUpdate = new Date(); settings.save(); fillCurrenciesSelection(); updateLastUpdate(); $('#submit-button').button('enable'); }, 'XML' ) .error(function() { console.log('Unable to retrieve exchange rates from the provider.'); navigator.notification.alert( 'Unable to retrieve exchange rates from the provider.', function(){}, 'Error' ); if (Currency.getCurrencies().length === 0) $('#submit-button').button('disable'); }) .complete(function() { $.mobile.loading('hide'); }); } // Check if there are data into the local storage else if (Currency.getCurrencies().length === 0) { console.log('The connection is off and there aren't rates previously stored.'); navigator.notification.alert( 'Your device has the connection disabled and there aren't rates previously stored.n' + 'Please turn on your connection.', function(){}, 'Error' ); $('#submit-button').button('disable'); } }
Filling the Select Boxes
The function to update the select boxes isn't very hard to grasp. It simply retrieves the stored currencies using the
getCurrencies() method of the
Currency class and then insert each of them using the jQuery
append() method. It's worth noting that after all the currencies are inserted, this function searches for the last origin and destination currencies saved within the user preferences If these last used currencies are found, they are automatically selected. In this scenario, the listview widget needs to be refreshed, which accomplished using the method
selectmenu() and passing the string
refresh to it.
The complete source of
fillCurrenciesSelection() is listed below:
/** * Use the stored currencies to update the selection lists */ function fillCurrenciesSelection() { var currencies = Currency.getCurrencies(); var $fromCurrencyType = $('#from-type'); var $toCurrencyType = $('#to-type'); // Empty elements $fromCurrencyType.empty(); $toCurrencyType.empty(); // Load all the stored currencies for(var i = 0; i < currencies.length; i++) { $fromCurrencyType.append(' ' + currencies[i].abbreviation + ' '); $toCurrencyType.append(' ' + currencies[i].abbreviation + ' '); } // Update the selected option using the last currencies used var settings = Settings.getSettings(); if (!$.isEmptyObject(settings)) { var currency = $fromCurrencyType.find('[value="' + settings.fromCurrency + '"]'); if (currency !== null) $(currency).attr('selected', 'selected'); currency = $toCurrencyType.find('[value="' + settings.toCurrency + '"]'); if (currency !== null) $(currency).attr('selected', 'selected'); } $fromCurrencyType.selectmenu('refresh'); $toCurrencyType.selectmenu('refresh'); }
Managing External Links
As you've seen in the interface design of "Currency Converter", the
aurelio.html file have several external links within it. Those links aren't very useful, but I do need to explain an important concept.
Until a few versions ago, Cordova opened external links in the same Cordova WebView that was running the application. So, once it opened a link, when the user clicked the "back" button, the last project's page was shown exactly as it was before the user left it. But, in the most recent release of the framework, this behavior was changed; now, the external links are opened by default using the Cordova WebView if the URL is in your app's whitelist. URLs that aren't on your whitelist are opened using the InAppBrowser API.
Citing the official documentation,
the InAppBrowser is a web-browser that is shown in your app when you use the window.open call. This API has three methods:
removeEventListener(), and
close(). The first allows you to listen for three events (
loadstop, and
exit) and allows you to attach a function that runs as soon as those events are fired. The second method, as you might guess, is used to remove a previously-attached listener. Finally, the
close() method is used to close the InAppBrowser window.
If the user opens a link that is shown in the InAppBrowser or the system browser and then goes "back" to the application, all the CSS and jQuery Mobile enhancements are lost. This happens because the external link doesn't the reference the cited files and when the user goes back into the app; the file is loaded as it were requested for the first time, but without passing through the main page. Obviously, this is something you'll want to avoid, which highlights the importance of the the whitelist within the Cordova configuration file and the next function come in help.
The aim of the
openLinksInApp() function is to catch the clicks on all the external links (recognized by using the
target="_blank" attribute), preventing the unwanted default behavior and opening them using the
window.open() method. As you'll see in the code shown below, I'll use the
_target parameter so that the links will be opened using the WebView, because I'll put these URLs in the Cordova whitelist. Using this technique, we'll avoid the issues described above, and your app will continue to look and function as expected.
/** * Open all the links as internals */ function openLinksInApp() { $("a[target="_blank"]").on('click', function(event) { event.preventDefault(); window.open($(this).attr('href'), '_target'); }); }
In this article, I described several other functions of the
functions.js file, highlighting the key points of each. I also explained the Cordova Connection and the InAppBrowser API and how they work. As we've seen, dealing with external links is extremely important when you're using jQuery Mobile to build your mobile app interface. In the next and final article in this series, I'll show you the function that initializes the application, called
initApplication(), and the Cordova configuration file that we will use alongside the Adobe PhoneGap Build service to package our "Currency Converter" app.

Use nutrition to stoke your sex drive! Why young moms aren't "into it."
You think I'm going to start talking about chocolate syrup and strawberries in the bedroom as props. I'm not. I have WAY better advice than that.

So how do you get on bioidentical hormone? The self-dosing method that many women use, which is very unscientific of course, is to take dessicated animal hormones, such as thyroid, you can get at a health food store.

Why do I get constipated or not lose weight on green smoothies? Part 2 of 2
So, "cleansing reactions" can happen two months or six months or even six years later.

Hyperbolic hockey, the sport in which NHL commentators try to top each other with more and more outlandish and inaccurate claims, usually builds in intensity alongside the Stanley Cup playoffs. And engaging in pop historymaking grand claims for the present at the expense of the pastremains the favorite among hyperbolic hockey tactics.
After the third round of the playoffs, for example, local media types speculated whether the Devils line of Patrik Elias, Jason Arnott, and Petr Sykora might not be the best of all time. Answer: yes, if you ignore Boston's Kraut Line (of the '30s and '40s), Montreal's Punch Line ('40s-'50s), Detroit's Production Line ('40s-'50s), the Rangers GAG Line ('60s-'70s), the Islanders Trio Grande ('70s-'80s), L.A.'s Triple Crown Line ('80s), Edmonton's Gretzky-Kurri-Tikkanen line ('80s), andsince this is pop historyColorado's Joe Sakic, Alex Tanguay, and Milan Hejduk, who was MIA in the Finals.
On the eve of the Finals' Game 7, the Post suggested a Devils win would render them "the greatest team since the breakup of the Oilers' dynasty." A moot point now, since the Devs failed to repeat, but we still side with our old friend Stan Fischler, whose criteria for dynasty begins with three straight Cup wins, not three in six years.
Then there was Patrick Roy and his record third Conn Smythe Trophy, which has many observers unconditionally anointing him the best playoff goalie of all time. Much was also made of his tying Detroit Hall-of-Famer Terry Sawchuk's mark of four Stanley Cups. Setting aside debate whether Roy really deserved the MVP, it should be noted that the award has only been given out since 1965. Furthermore, what about Ken Dryden and his six Cups in eight years in the '70s, or Jacques Plante's five straight in the '50s, or even Billy Smith's four straight in the '80s? Pat's great, but it's crowded at the top.
And in the end, CNN/SI.com asked its users if this mediocre Cup Final was "the best in recent history?" Answer: yes, but only if you are Ray Bourque.
Devils in the Details
We're used to rampant economic illiteracy among sports journalists by now, but the press coverage that greeted last Wednesday's announcement of a new Newark arena for the Nets and Devils was more confused than Scott Niedermeyer after a trip to a Tie Domi convention. The deal, which would provide the YankeeNets' basketball and hockey franchises with a new home by 2005, was variously reported as being funded by:
$115 million from YankeeNets, plus $240 million in state, county, and city bonds, to be repaid with "existing payroll taxes on new jobs created in the arena area and by doubling the now-reduced sales tax in the district." (Richard Wilner, New York Post)
$115 million from YankeeNets and $240 million from "taxes on luxury boxes, tickets and merchandise in the new arena, as well as sales taxes in the surrounding area which will be designated as a 'sports/entertainment district.' " (Ralph Vacchiano, Daily News)
$115 million from YankeeNets and $240 million in "revenues on sales of luxury boxes, tickets, merchandise and from a doubling of the 3-percent sales tax in a 'sports and entertainment' district created in the neighborhood around the arena." (Steve Zipay, Newsday)
$115 million from YankeeNets, plus $30 million from the state's Transportation Trust Fund, $50 million in county and city bonds (to be paid off with unspecified revenues), and $190 million from sales taxes collected in downtown Newark, where the tax would be raised from 3 percent to 6 percent. (David M. Halbfinger, The New York Times)
The winner: The Times by a hair, over the News. The actual financing package, according to New Jersey gubernatorial aide Tom Wilson: $115 million from YankeeNets, $30 million in transportation money, $190 million from hiked sales taxes in the new Sports Entertainment District, which would encompass most of Newarkincluding the arena, so it would include sales tax on luxury boxes, tickets, etc., but not the cost of these items themselves, as Zipay mistakenly reportedand $50 million from the city and county, which would come from yet-to-be-determined sources. Of course, the ink-stained wretches did have some excuse: Jersey governor Donald DiFrancesco's press release announcing the deal was so convoluted that we couldn't make out the financing package until we got Wilson on the phone. DiFrancesco also failed to mention that the arena plan still must be voted on by the state legislaturean item only the Times thought worth noting. "You read [the press statement], and you'd think Yogi Berra had written it," said sports marketing expert David Carter. But at least Yogi knows an arena fight isn't over until it's over.
Express Derailed
While the NBA Finals was busy grabbing the nation's attention and depleting its strategic David-vs.-Goliath cliché reserves, two other hoops conflicts unfolded last Tuesday that may have longer-lasting repercussions. In Memphis, the city council voted 10-3 to approve the first phase of spending on a $250 million basketball arena, all but sealing the fate of the Vancouver Grizzlies as the first NBA team to relocate since the Kings fled Kansas City for Sacramento in 1985. The same day, voters in Charlotte shot down a plan to replace the 16-year-old Charlotte Coliseum with a new publicly funded building, leading to immediate rumors that the Hornets would be headed to Louisville in 2002.

From small chair, Petersen has high hopes for BSU
BSU defensive tackle Ricky Tjong-A-Tjoe said he doesn't care who trots out opposite the Broncos.
"We've still got to prepare like we need to prepare," he said.
From Petersen's little chair Monday - one he vowed to substitute with something more commanding at BSU's next media session - he said his biggest fear was aggravating penalties and careless mistakes that might help Washington knock BSU and its lofty Bowl Championship Series-busting aspirations off their pedestal.
"So much of it, early in the football season, is about self-inflicted wounds," he said. "If you can eliminate some of those, you'll feel better about your chances."

'Mud Season' is lighthearted, but flawed, memoir
Monday - 11/4/2013, 12:42pm EST
Associated Press
"Mud Season: How One Woman's Dream of Moving to Vermont, Raising Children, Chickens, and Sheep & Running the Old Country Store Pretty Much Led to One Calamity after Another" (The Countryman Press), by Ellen Stimson
First, the good: Ellen Stimson is funny. Darned funny. And she knows how to spin a good, old-fashioned yarn. She's telling her story of moving from the urban Midwest to rural Vermont to live out her dream of buying an old house and running the quintessential country store -- and it's amusing. She talks about the time she undressed in the wrong motel room, the time she called 911 because the two-lane highway was blocked by cattle, and the time she dumped a 2-gallon jug of red food coloring into a large pond to simulate a battle scene from "Treasure Island" and was yelled at by cops for starting an environmental disaster.
Stimson tells her tales with clear-eyed, self-deprecating humor, which makes "Mud Season" a breeze to read in a single sitting.
Despite the amusing anecdotes, Stimson's first foray into writing books -- in a previous life, she sold books -- is more than a bit flawed. To call it a memoir is a stretch. Her collection of 11 "chapters" reads more like a haphazard collection of essays that would have better served her experience. Stimson should have hired a good editor. That person could have insisted on solid transitions between chapters and removing much of the repetition.
But things really fall apart near the end. Stimson has complained for more than 200 pages about how much money she's spending and how the renovations to the house, the lack of sales at the store and everything else are bleeding her dry. She even flippantly considers bankruptcy after a good friend explains that she has a failed business and that's why bankruptcy exists -- it's "part of the system," he says. In the eleventh hour, Stimson is bailed out by a buyer and she and her family of five take off on vacation. What? They rent a cabin and a pontoon boat. They swim in Canadian waters, then stuff themselves on hot dogs and s'mores.
To top it off, she concludes the book with a collection of recipes -- seemingly from out of nowhere -- as well as obituaries for her lost pets. These tacked-on sections are sweet but have no place in this so-called memoir.

Well, I have to say, from the cover picture revealed last week, I was expecting way more from Jessica Simpson's new Maxim Magazine spread. I mean, doesn't putting the sexiest picture right on the cover defeat the purpose somewhat? Sure, it might catch your attention, but once you open it up, you're in for a big disappointment. But really, isn't that a perfect metaphor for Jessica Simpson herself?
