|Bruins skate underway
|04.14.09 at 10:42 am ET
With Game 1 of the Stanley Cup playoffs just over 48 hours away, the Bruins took to the to ice this morning just after 11 at Ristuccia Rink in Wilimington in preparation for the Montreal Canadiens on Thursday night at TD Banknorth Garden.
Practice is expected to last approximately an hour.
Defenseman Andrew Ference, who has been out with an undisclosed injury since April 4, was the only Bruin not to take the ice while Patrice Bergeron did return.
"He continues to be day-to-day," Bruins head coach Claude Julien said of Ference following practice. "That's his situation and as long as you don't see him on the ice, that means he's not ready to come back yet. I think when you see him on the ice for the first time, that'll be a good sign."
|Sounds of the game… Won't be fooled again

Bruins head coach Claude Julien was having none of Sean Avery's antics.
He knew what the agitator of all agitators in the NHL was trying to do to his goalie. That's why he kept a close eye on him as he gave a little whack to the back of Tim Thomas' head during a time out with 5:24 remaining in Boston's 1-0 win over the New York Rangers Saturday at the Garden.
"For me, it's just that you have to keep an eye on this guy all the time, even after whistles because when he did that, he looked around to see if anyone was looking," Julien said. "He's an expert at that and that's what he tries to do so it's important for the referees, when he's on the ice after whistles, to keep an eye on him because you know he's going to do something."
Julien also wasn't surprised when he goalie took off after Avery toward center ice and gave him a roundhouse, which got the crowd into a frenzy.
'Personally, a coach never likes to see his goaltender get in those situations," Julien said. "Do I agree with it? no. But Timmy's emotional and by that time, it's too late.'
Then there's the take of the man himself.
"It's a TV timeout," Thomas said. "It's an unwritten rule that basically nothing happens during a TV timeout. I'm stretching there, and Avery comes by, and I get hit in the head with a stick. You look up and you see who it is, and you're like, 'You've got to be kidding me.'"
It was no joke to Thomas and the Bruins, who kept their composure and held on for the win that sealed the top seed in the Eastern Conference for the Bruins.
"I really like the fact that we kept our composure and got the win there," Thomas said. "That's the key. When you react, you fall little bit into exactly what he wants you to do, but if you can react and not have it affect your game, then he didn't do his job, and it didn't work."
Marc Savard was called for a cross-check moments later, forcing the Bruins to kill a 4-on-3 after Thomas and Avery were called for roughing penalties. And they did.
As for Avery, reporters tried to approach him but they were told by the Rangers P.R. that he wasn't talking. One of the reporters fired back, 'He can answer for himself.'
On Saturday, it was Thomas who had the answers.
|Thomas: The answer kept coming back Boston
|at 9:53 am ET
The Bruins made it official on Saturday morning by announcing a four-year contract extension for goaltender Tim Thomas, worth a reported $20 million.
"I'm very happy to be staying in Boston for the next four years knowing that with free agency coming up potentially this summer, you have to think about would you rather go somewhere else or would you rather stay in Boston and after thinking things over, the answer kept coming back, Boston," Thomas said.
The news conference was held at TD Banknorth Garden, some four hours before Boston's scheduled matinee with the New York Rangers. If the Bruins win, they clinch the number one seed in the Eastern Conference for the upcoming Stanley Cup playoffs.
More from Thomas, as he expressed satisfaction while wanting to maintain focus on the season.
"To a certain extent there is," Thomas said of the satisfaction factor. "To another extent, we're in the middle of the season, we have a game at one o'clock today so I haven't really let it sink in. To a certain extent, I'm just going to focus on day-by-day and game-by-game who we're playing. I think that's the way to approach this.
"I don't this is anytime to sit back and pat yourself too much on the back. I think it's more, 'Hey, we have a lot more to accomplish that we could accomplish this year.' And I'm looking forward to making a push at achieving those accomplishments," he added.
General manager Peter Chiarelli decided to invest a reported $20 million over four years in his goaltender, who
could wind up winning the Vezina Trophy for top netminder in the league.
'What sometimes gets lost in the translation is the uncanny ability to stop the puck," Chiarelli said of Thomas' 2.11 goals against and .932 save percentage this season, both of which lead the NHL. "And Tim has shown that with all the other things and that's why we've extended him for a long time and we're excited to have him on board.
'When we talk about the Tim Thomas story, we talk about perseverance over a long period time, we talk about a long journey and we talk about an unorthodox and hybrid style, so to speak.'
Part of the journey for Thomas includes sacrifice, like giving back half of his signing bonus or $75,000 to the Edmonton Oilers back in 1998 so he could play in Europe, before returning to the NHL and the Bruins for the 2002-03 season.
"That's a good investment, though," chimed in Chiarelli. "The rate of return on that is pretty good."
|Sounds of the game… Bruins 2, Senators 1
|04.02.09 at 10:32 pm ET
The Bruins have won 50 games in an NHL season for the first time since the 1992-93 season, when Cam Neely, Ray Bourque and Adam Oates led them to 51 wins and 109 points.
"Everybody's different," Bruins coach Claude Julien said. "I'm not big on those things. It's great. I'm not saying anything negative about it, just that it's a win tonight, and another step towards hopefully clinching the conference."
Maybe the reason for Julien's cautious approach is what every hockey coach of a high seed fears at this time of year. The team that gets a hot goalie and rides them to a first-round shocking upset. Oh, say, like the 1993 Buffalo Sabres.
What Bruins fans don't want to remember about that campaign but can't forget is how it ended ' a shocking first-round four-game sweep at the hands of the Sabres. Done in four after a glorious regular season. But still, that didn't keep some of the key Bruins from reflecting on how far this team has come after missing the playoffs in consecutive seasons in '05-'06 and '06-'07.
Julien took over for the 2007-08 season and suddenly things changed on Causeway.
"You're walking into a situation where it had been a tough year the year before, and there had been a lot of changes made, and our goal was to bring in some young players and give them a chance to blend in and build around the core veterans that we had," Julien said. "We knew there would be some growing pains, but again, I don't think anybody probably thought that we would be in this position this quickly, but we'll certainly take it."

|Sounds of the game… Bruins 4, Devils 1
|03.22.09 at 6:14 pm ET
It was quite simply the biggest game of the regular season.
And the urgency that coach Claude Julien has been preaching and begging his players to show was on full display on Sunday time at the best time against the one of the best goalies in NHL history.
On this Sunday afternoon at the Garden, the Bruins made Martin Brodeur look human, while avoiding being tagged victim No. 554.
That's called answering the bell – or in the Bruins' case – the deafening foghorn that sounded four times in a win that clinched the Bruins first Northeast Divsion title since 2003-04. For those who don't remember, that was the last season before the 2004-05 lockout that wiped out an entire season.
But listen to Julien and you get the sense there was much less excitement in clinching the division title than Garden P.A. announcer Jim Martin had in announcing it to the fans.
'It wasn't even mentioned once," Julien said. "I didn't talk about it. I didn't hear any players talk about it. Everything tonight was put on the way we needed to play. Nothing else was talked about. I didn't talk about the division title, I didn't talk about the importance of the win. I just talked about our play. To me, it just showed to me how important that is to me, to do the things you have to do to win.'
"I didn't even know about it until I heard it being announced to the crowd after the game," Bruins goalie Tim Thomas added afterward.
Of course, in the bigger picture is the Eastern Conference, which the Bruins now lead Jersey by five points (102-97) with nine games remaining for Boston while Jersey has 10.
'I think what happened tonight is something, definitely not everything," Julien said. "It was certainly something where we took a step in the right direction. It was a big game for both teams. We found a way to win that. There's still nine games left. Jersey has some games in hand and they're playing extremely well.'
The Bruins found a way to protect a 2-0 lead by making it 3-0, something they couldn't do on Jan. 29 against these same Devils on the same Garden ice. They lost in overtime, 4-3.
Mark Recchi wasn't in Boston then. He was on Sunday and he helped by assisting on the first two goals.
Recchi said the Bruins played the right way and didn't let up.
|Sounds of the game… Kings 3, Bruins 2 OT
|03.19.09 at 10:29 pm ET
One could make the case that the Bruins didn't see Thursday night's self-destruction coming.
But talk to the players themselves following a 3-2 overtime loss to the Los Angeles Kings at the Garden and they will tell you that if they didn't see the writing on the wall, they certainly felt the trembling beneath their skates.
Earlier in the season, a two-goal lead heading into the third period was money in the bank. The Bruins are quickly turning into AIG. Entering Thursday night, they were 32-2-2 when leading after two periods. Even more impressively, they were 19-1-2 with a 2-0 lead.
But the Bruins had two golden opportunities to make it 3-0 and couldn't on two power plays midway through the second.
The Kings scored early in the third and all of sudden things began to change.
Tim Thomas, though, said afterward that while Michael Handzus' goal on the power play was big at 9:50 of the third period, it was the inability to put that third marker on the board that came back to haunt the Bruins.
"When they scored the first one, it changed even more. But I think the momentum had changed even before that," Thomas said. "We left them in the game and kind of made believers out of them."
But Thomas' next statement about protecting a third period lead is FAR more telling about the state of mind the Bruins have right now and what they need to address come playoff time.
'Earlier this season we just knew we were going to win when were in that situation," Thomas said. "I think now we still believe we're going to win but it's not like a 100 percent like it was earlier this year. It's not 100 percent confidence.'
Then there's their head coach. Claude Julien hasn't minced words or treaded lightly all season. He wasn't about to start after this loss.
'We're going to have to start outworking the other team and our best players are going to have to start finding their game,' Julien said. 'Our power play was totally flat tonight. If anything, our (penalty kill) had better chances tonight.'
|Sounds of the game… Bruins 2, Islanders 1
|03.14.09 at 4:07 pm ET
Anyone who watched Phil Kessel play the first half of this season knows how integral he was to the success of the Bruins.
His coach took the occasion of his 30th goal on Saturday during Boston's 2-1 win over the Islanders to remind him of just that.
"He's what you saw tonight, a game-breaker," Bruins coach Claude Julien said. "Phil is the type of player that, when he's on his game with his speed, his shot, his skill level, he can certainly be a game-breaker type of player.
And everyone in the Will McDonough Press Room at the Garden knew there was a 'but' coming.
"Having said that, when he doesn't compete the way he's been competing the way he's been competing lately, he's a player that doesn't bring as much to the table," Julien continued. "This is what you need from guys like Phil, and from young players, to be able to develop into being better players, bringing a compete level, night-in and night-out."
Talk about laying it on the line and not mincing words. Julien clearly wants his team to be ready for April, May and hopefully beyond. And he realizes he needs his young talented players to be prepared for the intensity that awaits them.
Kessel, who became the first Bruins 30-goal scorer since teammate Patrice Bergeron scored 31 in 2005-06, scored No. 30 and Boston's first goal in the first period. Then, just 65 seconds later, he fed a beautiful pass to Marc Savard for the second Bruins goal.
'It's a nice milestone," Kessel said of reaching 30 goals. "(I have) a lot to attribute to my teammates and the linemates I've been playing with this year. They find me quite a bit, so I'm fortunate to be playing with some good hockey players this year.'
Another milestone came in the form of Tim Thomas' 30th win, matching his career best of 06-07. Julien said it was nice to see Thomas back in form on Saturday.
Other audio nuggets from Saturday.
Julien still wants his team to compete better for 60 minutes.
Julien said the Bruins started well and then held on.
Tim Thomas said killing the Islanders' 5-on-3 power play in the third was key.
Bruins defenseman Andrew Ference said the Bruins regrouped after a very sluggish second.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- The Tennessee Registry of Election Finance has decided not to penalize Knox County Mayor Tim Burchett for discrepancies in his campaign filings.
Burchett's attorney, Stephen Zralek, appeared before the panel on Tuesday to explain how the errors were made and the efforts the former Republican state senator has made to fix the mistakes.
Zralek blamed most of the errors on Burchett's ex-wife, Allison.
Members of the registry unanimously agreed to take no further action.
The complaint was based on reports by The Knoxville News Sentinel about questionable spending, including payments of more than $15,000 to Allison Burchett.
The panel also decided on a 4-2 vote that health care investor Andrew Miller did not use his political action committee to skirt state laws limiting campaign contributions.

As you know, when sailing with kids there are a lot of concessions that have to be made with respect to safety and comfort. We concluded that we needed to be able to set-up our boat in whatever way we deemed fit to accommodate our kids, including safety features and gear (toys, games, dinghies, kayaks, etc). We wouldn't have been able to do that in a time-share arrangement, or if we could have it would have meant schlepping heaps of stuff back and forth for each sail. Equals= not much sailing.
Just something to think about.
Good point John, the other thing I have seen with time share, is that people go out when they shouldn't be.
I see it all the time. A group or family comes down to the boat. Its blowing like stink and the lake is a nasty mess, but it's thier time to be on the water and the next time they are scheduled to have the boat could be weeks away. So, they go out when the prudent boater is probably going to sit it out in the harbor.
With the time share, your going to use the boat no matter what, not always the safest decision.

adidas unveiled the dress Ana Ivanovic will be wearing at the Australian Open next month.
Ana will be sporting blue Down Under, but the dress also comes in a bright orange.
adidas has released some pics of the outfits and shoes Andy Murray will wear at the Australian Open next month.
Really classic cut and colorway:
Andy's shoes, the adidas Barricade 8 :
Founded in Jersey City, NJ in the summer of 2013, REDVANLY is a stylish, modern brand that was created to raise the bar for athletic apparel.
"We are a brand that stands above the rest by doing things better in every single category. I built this company to give athletes around the world a better option to choose from. My vision for REDVANLY is to eventually be recognized as the ultimate brand in athletic apparel"
The line consists of a variety of tops for both men and women, with plans to add bottoms (tennis shorts and skorts) next summer.
The fabric combines a blend of "water hating" Polyester and "water loving" TENCEL. The two work together to efficiently grab liquid away from the skin and push it to the outside of the fabric where it will evaporate much faster than your typical athletic apparel.
The REDVANLY line is exclusively available on their website.
A global fashion icon will be reborn in 2014 as the legendary Stan Smith returns from its sabbatical. Removed from the shelves for the past few seasons, the classic silhouette has been re-invigorated and updated for the modern day while still staying true to the look and shape of the original.
Since its debut as a tennis shoe, the Stan Smith has made its way from the tennis court to the street, becoming adidas' best-selling shoe of all time, with over 40 million pairs sold. American tennis icon Stan Smith began wearing what was the world's first ever leather tennis shoe in 1971, when he won the US Open on grass and the Davis Cup on clay with the American team. In 1972 he won Wimbledon wearing the classic adidas shoe.
To celebrate the return of the Stan Smith, a host of international talent from the worlds of music, sport and screen came together to reveal what the sneaker means to them.
Watch the trailer below featuring Stan Smith and Andy Murray as well as actors, artists and designers.

Claus Joergensen, one of the founding fathers of Windows Storage Server, had a great post today about a new white paper, available here, discussing the best practices and guidance for sizing NTFS volumes. The paper also has details on self-healing NTFS and Chkdsk execution times on Windows Server 2008 R2.
When planning Windows file server deployments, we are often asked questions such as "How large can I make my volumes?" or "How long will it take to repair a volume?". This white paper helps answer these questions.
Table of Contents:
If you are planning a Windows file server deployment or is looking to upgrade an existing Windows file server deployment to Windows Server 2008 R2, you should consult the white paper. It outlines how with Windows Server 2008 R2, NTFS can scale to easily support 15 TB file systems with 10 million files! Even with hundreds of millions of files the Chkdsk execution times are really fast. My favorite statistic is that a volume with 300 million files is able to Chkdsk in about 6 hours, that is so much faster than the old days.
Cheers, Scott M. Johnson
"It outlines how with Windows Server 2008 R2, NTFS can scale to easily support 15 TB file systems with 10 million files!"
I don't think that's a current development - I have such a volume (physically it's an 80-disk FC4 SAN unit), with 8-10M files for many years now and I had no problem with it under WSS 2003 x64 R2 either.
Now as for chdsk... let's just say I don't run it too often. ;)

The filter works best with telescopes 4" to 5" and larger in aperture. Users of smaller 4"-8" telescopes will especially appreciate the high efficiency, and larger scope users will love the rich star fields and detailed subtle nebular shadings that are left intact. The filter is designed primarily for observing emission nebulas. It is not designed for astrophotography or for observing the primarily violet reflected starlight of reflection nebulas.
The filter substrate is ground and polished optical quality BK7 glass. This yields sharp star images, even when the filter is placed in front of the star diagonal. Such a location results in a long light path between the filter and eyepiece. This can reduce the image sharpness in lesser filters whose glass substrates are not polished to the same plane and parallel accuracy as TeleVue filters. Multilayer ion beam coating technology and the high quality optical glass produces low scatter in its stable hard coating. This reduces passband changes due to temperature and humidity. Each filter is checked optically and cosmetically to assure performance and each is individually serialized.
Special filtering in the TeleVue passband design reduces the red tinge in stars so often seen in lesser filters. It also allows for sharp and bright views of star clusters embedded in nebulas, such as M8 (the Lagoon). This TeleVue filter does not dim these stars to the extent traditional filters do. The TeleVue nebula/star brightness balance is more realistic. In addition to better views of embedded star clusters, the TeleVue Bandmate UHC filter shows more stars in the background field than traditional filters. Here are a few comments about this effect from on-line customer comments. "The nebulae were being equally enhanced with the Bandmates but not at the expense of filtering out the background star field to the degree seen in competitive filters. In addition, the star colors appeared, in the Bandmates, truer. How is this done? Not a clue, but the difference is more than just subtle. The resulting views through the Bandmates were to me more realistic and aesthetically more pleasing. I noticed this most on M42 and the Dumbbell where the field stars add greatly to the enjoyment of the over all view. To date the two Bandmate Nebula filters are the best that I have ever used."
"I was very surprised at how many stars were visible with the filter in place. Also, the stars are esthetically pleasing and were not artificially tinged red which I've heard happens with other filters. The filter was placed before the diagonal making it a breeze when changing eyepieces."
Enter your telescope focal ratio in the formula box to the right to see what focal length eyepieces will work best with this filter.

Houstonians From All Walks Pay Respects to DeBakey
By Todd Ackerman, Houston Chronicle
Jul. 15–Houstonians today paid their last respects to Dr. Michael DeBakey, steadily filing past the legendary heart surgeon's casket as he lay in repose at City Hall.
In the first two hours of the public viewing, the visitors ranged from a homeless man to city officials to loved ones of former patients, who took a moment at the casket before moving on.
Some choked back tears.
"I loved the man," said a moist-eyed Francis Darr, a lifelong Houstonian who said DeBakey operated on her father in 1961.
"He was just such a wonderful, warm human being," Darr said. "I know some of his colleagues didn't see that part of him, but his patients felt his concern. Plus, he gave my father 16 more good years."
DeBakey died Friday night of natural causes, after an extraordinary career as a doctor, scientist, educator and medical statesman. He was 99.
A number of visitors to the viewing lamented that he didn't make it to his 100th birthday. DeBakey would have turned 100 on Sept. 7.
He lay in repose today in surgical attire — including white scrubs and a pulled-down mask. In one hand he clasped a small cross.
A military honor guard and a doctor flanked the casket and a screen above it displayed historical photos and footage of highlights from DeBakey's long career.
The public viewing marks the first time City Hall has been used to so honor one of Houston's residents.
Lying in repose is not the same as lying in state, which is reserved for the U.S. Capitol or a state capitol.

The Real Housewives are not alone in their search for flawless lips, but in their quest for perfection, these beautiful reality television stars often end up with trout pout!
Whose luscious lips are real or fake?
RadarOnline.com went in search of the answers and spoke to lip augmentation Dr. Robert Gordon — a.k.a. "Dr. Lips" — who rated five housewives and gave us the skinny on whether their kissables are real or fake.
EXCLUSIVE & PHOTOS: Who's Luscious Lips Are Real Or Fake? Plastic Surgery Secrets Of The Real Housewives Exposed
Taylor Armstrong of Beverly Hills fame has made no secret of the fact she had her lips enhanced and the plastic surgeon, who is not The Housewives personal physician, said it's obvious.
"It is obvious that she has had facial cosmetic enhancement work done, in particular her lips," Gordon, the author of Cupid's Bow: The 5 Secrets to Sexy, Sultry Lips, told RadarOnline.com.
"Taylor has a beautiful facial framework that any facial artist would love to work on.
"Unfortunately though, Taylor represents one of the classic mistakes most lip augmenters do, adding to much volume to her upper lip and hence is carries an artificial look."
His rating… "Dr. Lips" gives her lips 4 out of 10.
Taylor's Beverly Hills co-star Kyle Richards has an absolutely gorgeous lip style, he said.
"She has enhanced her lips to a classic lips style, with a slight angelic swoop to the upper lip," "Dr Lips" said.
"The classic lip style is just that. Following the rules of natural beginning lip form and her slight shaping of them to enhance their natural beauty.
"Dr. Lips" gives Kyle's lips 8 out of 10.
According to RadarOnline.com's surgeon experts, "All signs point to Alexis Bellino of The Real Housewives of Orange County to having lip enhancement and they present in what I call the Rubina style. One merely needs to look at her lips in younger years."
He added, "All that presented, Alexis's lip proportions are a nicely kept and stay within her natural beginning style. They are not overly stated but enough to express a sultry look."
"Dr. Lips" gives Alexis' lips 9 lips out of 10.
As far as lip augmentation is concerned, Jacqueline Laurita of The Real Housewives New Jersey is a difficult judgement call for Dr. Gordon.
"She is the only one in the group that has a Cupid Style of lip," he said.
"That is her upper lip volume is very centered and becomes less as they move to the corners of her mouth."
"I would venture to guess she has had very little if no filler at all. Why would you play with a near perfect set of Cupid Lips?"
Dr. Lips gives her lips 8 out of 10.
According to "Dr. Lips," there is no doubt that Kim Zolciak of Real Housewives Atlanta has a full set of lips and her facial framework has the potential to support them.
"The bad news is that the work done on Kim's lips violates the rules of natural lip proportions," he judged.
"Equal volume in upper and lower lips is the most "unaesthetic" form and is a sign of aged lips. Kim's lips lack the sculpted form to support this amount of filler, which results in the traditional "trout pout."
"We can only hope that her lips have been augmented with a temporary material like Hyaluronic Acid filler and she can start again with a fresh slate."
Dr. Lips gives her lips 4 out of 10.
Dr. Gordon's long-anticipated new book, Cupid's Bow: The Five Secrets to Sexy, Sultry Lips at Any Age is a woman's guide to kissing botched lip procedures goodbye for good.
"Cupid's Bow is written for women who are considering a cosmetic lip procedure and want to avoid the dreaded trout pout," the doc said.
It's available at Books-A-Million starting March 8, 2011.

As Carmelo Anthony made his debut in Newark, it unfortunatley came in a baby blue uniform.
It would be the home team however, well-dressed in white and dark blue who would take the 115-99 win after dropping two straight road games.
The Nets (15-34), anchored by Devin Harris' career-high 18 assists and Brook Lopez 27 points -- his 11th straight game with at least 25 points -- would take the win over Denver.
The home crowd at the Prudential Center was lively throughout the night after a potential deal to bring Anthony to New Jersey fell through earlier in the month.
Travis Outlaw also contributed a nice 21 points to the Nets cause as they now sit 6.5 games behind the Bobcats for 8th place.
Kirk Humphries had 15 and Anthony Morrow finished with 18 as the balanced scoring proved to be too much for the Nuggets.
Carmelo Anthony made a nice impression, scoring 37 points, the second-most against the Nets all season.
Still, Anthony didn't have enough help as the Nuggets couldn't keep up with New Jersey for four full quarters.
The Nets will hit the road, travelling to Philadelphia to take on the Sixers on Wednesday at 7 p.m.

Bernard Laporte has turned to French domestic champions Biarritz for Saturday's one-off test against the Springboks in Cape Town.
Laporte has picked the Biarritz 6,7,8 and 9 axis and included Biarritz centre Damien Traille at flyhalf in an experiment designed to give the French back division more physicality at flyhalf.
He has the option of introducing Thomas Castaignede should the experiment not work.
Laporte, who rested several players following a demanding domestic and European season, has relied on the strength of the Toulouse back division, the form of the Biarritz loose-forwards and the power of the Stade Francais front row in finalising his starting XV.
The exception is are Perpignan fullback Laharrague, with the rest of the team coming from Toulouse, Biarritz and Stade.
Laporte has also picked a five forwards to two backs subs bench to counter the physical Bok pack.
France to play Boks:Laharrague (Perpignan), Clerc (Stade Toulousain), Fritz (Stade Toulousain), Jauzion (Stade Toulousain), Heymans (Stade Toulousain), Traille (Biarritz), Yachvili (Biarritz), Dusautoir (Biarritz), Harinordoquy (Biarritz), Betsen (Biarritz), Thion (Biarritz), Pelous (Stade Toulousain, capt), De Villiers (Stade Francais), Szarzewski (Stade Francais) and Marconnet (Stade Francais). Subs: Ibanez (Wasps), Debaty (Perpignan), Nallet (Castres), Bonnaire (Bourgoin), Martin (Stade Francais), Mignoni (Clermont) and Castaignede (Saracens)

I use my old zipper close (gallon and quart size) bags for my craft projects. I then add to these zipper close type bags; my small craft scissors, the crochet hook(s) and the instructions. Also when making many small motifs for one large project I can also keep these small motifs in one gallon size zipper close bag, and drop it into my larger tote bag with all the yarn. This is a valuable resource for me so I can carry my portable projects in the Jeep or Harley, when we travel.

Very much like the coffee can I use an oatmeal container for my yarn and have no need to roll into ball out of skain! Very cool ideas tho I will have to try.

I use the new plastic coffee containers with the plastic lids. The container will hold your yarn, hooks, tape measure and sissors.The lids hold tight and you can cut a hole in the lid for the yarn to go through. If the hole isn't smooth, hold a flame under it for just a few seconds and it melts the plastic smooth.

I keep all my supplies in a zippered pencil bag. My crochet hooks, measuring tape, scissors, pencils, highlighters, eraser, buttons if needed, stitch markers, blunt craft needles, etc. My crochet hooks and blunt craft needles are stored in a roll-up crochet hook case but everything else is loose in the pencil bag. These bags are usually very inexpensive at the dollar store, and can be purchased with a clear window so you can see what you're grabbing out of your bag. This bag goes into whichever bag I am carrying my current project. I also keep the patterns I print out inside clear sheet protectors and store them in a notebook. The pattern I am currently working from goes in my project bag, still in the sheet protector to keep it in good condition so I can store it away with my other patterns after I am done with my project. I also love to use ziplock bags. Wind up your ball of yarn and place it in a gallon size ziplock bag. Set it beside you while you crochet or knit and your ball rolls around inside the bag and doesn't roll off onto the floor. Plus there's plenty of room in the bag for small projects to be thrown into the bag, hook and all, when I need to put it away. If I am working with a larger project I can pull up my last loop and tie a slip knot in it to hold my last stitch, put my hook in the bag with the ball of yarn and close the bag up leaving the yarn string hanging out and throw it all in my project bag. Very portable and goes everywhere I go.

Our mail room guy at work showed me how to use an old CDDVD holder for my yarn. I love it. Just unscrew the center stick and turn it upside down. It's great. Also, another friend showed me how to cut a hole in a plastic lid of a bowl. And that works great too.

I use zip-lock bags for EVERYTHING! I have a one-quart freezer weight bag I keep my knittingcrocheting notions in, ie, tape measure, stitch holders, stich markers, tapestry needles, etc. I usually reinforce the bottom and sides with wide tape so the needles don't push through the bag. The nice thing about the zipper is that you can keep the yarn cleandry in the bag and only have the strand "exposed" to elements (like if you're sunning at the beach!!!!!).

"Prisoners" is either the most exceptional piece of conventional filmmaking in Hollywood or the most conventional piece of exceptional filmmaking.
If that spins your head faster than a Geno Smith scramble, it should.
The movie, which won the box-office crown with a solid $21.4 million this weekend, is, after all, a head-spinning hybrid, combining elements that are rarely combined.
Directed by Denis Villeneuve and starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Hugh Jackman, the film centers on the father of a kidnapped girl who, when the police are unable to solve the crime, takes matters into his own hands. There are a few ways it defies expectations.
SNEAKS: Movie trailers, full coverage
-- It's a genre movie but not a genre movie, following the paces of a vexing mystery even as it asks larger moral and psychological questions.
-- It's directed by Villeneuve, who has made art-house grit such as "Incendies," but it was produced and financed by Alcon Entertainment, which is best known for commercial lightness, like "Dolphin Tale" and "The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants."
-- It's released by Warner Bros, but it, like every other studio in town, didn't want to finance it even when the script was hot and every third actor wanted to do it (hence Alcon at a lower budget of about $45 million).
-- It stars a big musical man and superhero purveyor (Jackman) doing some small, un-musical and un-superhero things.
We're in the middle of an era that is requiring, and rewarding, strange bedfellows and unlikely combinations for any film smaller than a $200-million action-adventure. "Prisoners" embodies the trend.
PHOTOS: Fall movie sneaks 2013
Fittingly for a hybrid, the movie is creating a touch of confusion. The movie generated a B-plus CinemaScore on Friday, only to prompt an A-minus and redo of sorts on Saturday, the first time I can recall a recount has ever happened.
"Prisoners" is a uniquely 21st century creation, an anomaly that's made by an art-house dude looking to go more commercial, and by a commercial producer that doesn't mind some strong reviews once in awhile. It features big Hollywood stars but who want to do things differently than they've been known for doing. And it's a big studio release that was made with chewing gum and duct tape.

Right the ferry crossing just near the crocodiles sign
Now I've just realised that I did't take any more pic's until we reached Koh Kong but what I can tell you is this section was fun everything from jungle to fast gravel roads and a bit of sealed road and a thunderstorm in the hills.
In fact when we got to the end of the gravel and Pilot stopped to put his sidecover and electrics back I notice my bike was leaking oil from a hole in the sidecase caused by the gearshift going through it.
I don't know how long it had been leaking but when I pointed it out I was a little surprised when they said fix it at Koh Kong.
That was at least 25km's away however it made it no prob's , says a lot for Yamaha reliability
We check in to the hotel ( Asian hotel Koh Kong) a shower and de louse( leeches, mud etc) then I wandered across the road for a beer nice place , French sounding name in fact even a French waiter with great views over the river.
After 2 beers I went back to find Pilot and La but couldn't I ended up having diner at a eatery next door to the hotel and talking to a guy called Matt from the states, he was riding a bicycle around.
Caught up with the guy's but went to bed early while my bike left a big oil puddle in the car park.

The American Passenger Rail Heritage Foundation (APRHF) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization whose mission is to preserve and promote the role that passenger rail played in the building of this nation. Your tax-deductible contribution as a member will bring us closer to our goal of constructing and maintaining the National Passenger Rail Center and support our ongoing work to preserve passenger train history.
This is a brief rundown of what we do now. The Silver Rails Event Center . This venue holds many weddings and community events each year. It will also be the starting point for our Passenger Rail Heritage Museum when our collection grows. The Silver Rails Gallery Memorial Library . This gallery has many works of art and photography. It also has one of a kind wood carvings and an operating model railroad. In the same building, behind the gallery exhibit, is a railroad reference library with many books about Amtrak and a host of out of print periodicals that cover all subjects including interurban and trolley. The Exhibition of Amtrak History. This Exhibit is our take on preserving Amtraks rich heritage from the rainbow era to modern day operations. The Train watching cabin and deck. This is fun place to just hang out, visit with friends or family and watch trains. You may want to have a birthday party or picnic at this unique spot. We have a couple of programs that work outside the confines of La Plata, Missouri. One of them is the Lets Talk Trains Show . This is a weekly internet radio show with a national scope and is aired each Saturday at 12:00pm CST. The newest program is the Trails and Rails. This program is a partnership between Amtrak and the National Park Service that puts guides on the train from CHI to LAP on select days and narrates the route explaining what you see outside the rails. The APRHF serves as the coordinators for the LAP end of the run.
The APRHF headquarters are in La Plata, Mo but we have a national reach. If you would like to start an APRHF chapter in your local area, please contact us. Below is a basic outline for any Chapter coming on board. We look forward to hearing from you.
Chapter Criteria:
Display: Have a display, portable or permanent, that covers Passenger Rail History in your area. This could be anything from a tri-fold all the way up to real passenger train equipment. If you are a model train operating club, a history of the passenger trains you may run on your layout would be a neat display also.
Chapter name: (The layout for this name should be as follows)
(ex.) Northeast Missouri Chapter of the American Passenger Rail Heritage Foundation.
The chapter first will give an identity to your group/club and will also keep the search engine confusion down if someone is looking for a certain chapter. If it were the other way around, there would be mass confusion if looking for a certain chapter on the internet. You will also have logos created for you to use on any publication or display you want. Stickers will also be available at a nominal cost.
Chapter dues: Each chapter will pay $100.00 per year to the APRHF national organization. These monies will go towards advertising, upgrading the newsletter layout (a goal of a printed and E-magazine), and future Annual grant awards to help chapters build or update an exhibit or display.
Member dues: Each member of a chapter will be a member of the National APRHF. When setting up your membership dues, please add $20.00 to the cost. This $20.00 is the special national level for chapter members.This will get all the members the official APRHF Newsletter "The Manifest", which is released on a quarterly basis. As chapters come aboard it will feature news from each chapter. Each member will also get 10% off any stay at the Depot Inn & Suites in La Plata, MO and free entry to the annual Model Train Show.
You are entering an exciting time of growth within the APRHF organization. We thank you for your support and enthusiasm as we lay the roadbed for telling the story nationwide about passenger rail history and how important it is to preserve the services we have now for future generations.
Thank you,
Bob Cox, President APRHF.org

The Writing Center is a campus service designed to help students improve their papers while at the same time assist them in gaining an understanding of the dynamics of what goes into writing a good paper. The way in which the Writing Center is designed gives the student a wonderful opportunity for a one on one workshop with a fellow student who has been certified to work in the Writing Center. The Writing Center is structured to give the student one of the most important aspects of editing a paper: an objective opinion.
What is the Writing Center and what services does it provide?
- individual attention: you'll work one-on-one with a tutor
- no appointments are needed for walk-in tutorials
- all services are free!
What can the Writing Center help student writers with?
Any stage of the writing process:
- brainstorming ideas
- formulating an outline
- researching
- drafting the paper
- revising
- reading a final copy
- APA, MLA, and Chicago Style citations
- grammar guidance through handouts and reference books
Can I just drop off my paper?
No, the Writing Center does not "fix" or edit papers. We take time to go over:
- problems you are having and how to correct them
Who are the tutors?
Talented undergraduates who:
- are recommended by professors
- go through an interview process
- submit portfolios of their work
- take a 2-credit class that teaches them how to tutor writing

Sometimes I wonder why I continue to follow the Kings. I wonder why I write about a losing team. I wonder why loss after loss I'm still a fan. And then I remember-I love my Kings. I remember the glory days of winning. I remember how it feels to beat the Lakers in Arco Arena. I remember the Arco thunder. And I remember that no matter what, I will always be a fan.
Tonight marked the 28th loss of the season for the Kings who have now lost a consecutive 11 games on the road. I'll give the Kings a little credit though as they played Boston, the 2nd best team on the East and the 3rd best team in the NBA all without their leader Tyreke Evans who is still out with an injury. The Kings held their own during the first half, but as the game went on they lost the momentum as the Celtics pulled farther and farther away, eventually winning 119-95.
Leading the Kings tonight was Carl Landry who put in 17 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists. Beno Udrih added another 16 points, 1 rebound and 5 assists. Both Landry and Beno have played remarkably well during these back-to-back games, but the rest of the team has been in a serious rut. Once again DeMarcus Cousins struggled going 3-9 from the field, but no one had a worse game than Francisco Garcia who went 3-9 from the floor and 1-5 in 3-point attempts. With the uncertainty of when Tyreke Evans will return to the line-up, it's safe to say the Kings need a miracle.
On Thursday the Kings will take on the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden and continue their road trip, but hopefully discontinue their losing streak.
