Pelicans works fine for New Orleans, but some other teams' monikers are just cuckoo
If you don't believe Tom Benson's new name for his New Orleans basketball franchise is intimidating enough, then you've never stood next to a pelican.
They are cool, calm and collected … or so it seems. I've been in proximity a number of times, and let me tell you, they strut around like they own the joint.
You never know if they are about to snap, unhinge their beak and try to swallow you hole or maybe they're simply taking in the scenery. It's really hard to get a read on the stoical bird.
Regardless, I endorse Benson's choice. The Crescent City needed its hoops squad to have a name that truly represented its heritage.
Louisiana is known as the Pelican State, and the brown pelican is the state bird. It was near extinction in the 1960s but recovered and was removed from the endangered species list in 2009.
It makes sense for Gulf Coast residents to have a mascot that represents resiliency.
Several sports franchises should follow Benson's lead and change their name to something more in line with their surroundings. Here are a few suggestions.
Los Angeles Lakers (NBA)
The name comes from their 12 years in Minneapolis, but last time I checked, the most prominent body of water near Los Angeles happens to be an ocean. Unless you count the big puddles of acid rain on the street when the city's drains overflow after a big storm.
How about the Los Angeles Trilogy? If you add 3D to it, they could rake in the dough by almost doubling ticket prices.
Utah Jazz (NBA)
Truth be told, Jazz belongs to New Orleans. The name simply doesn't make sense in Utah. It's like calling a San Diego team the Blizzard.
The Beehive State isn't really known for its free-form musical styles. How about we give them the Lakers after Los Angeles reboots its team?
Cleveland Browns (NFL)
When someone asks me, "Are the Browns going to the Super Bowl this year?" — which literally never happens — my mind goes straight to toilet humor.
Cleveland is the poor man's Detroit. It's in desperate need of re-branding.
How about the Cleveland Rocks? It would celebrate the only decent thing the city has ever produced: Drew Carey.
Memphis Grizzlies (NBA)
You have a better chance of spotting a polar bear on a tropical island, than catching a grizzly bear anywhere near Memphis. Obviously, music should be the inspiration, because the Memphis Pulled Pork doesn't quite do it.
They could be the Kings in honor of Elvis Presley and B.B. King — the Sacramento franchise won't be needing that name much longer. The Blues would work as well.
If you want to get really creative, you could go with the Night Trains (after a Roy Acuff song) or the Skyline (after a Rufus Wainwright song).
Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim next to the Amtrak station just four miles south of Disneyland (MLB)
Seriously, Mr. Moreno, your team's name is just silly. Make a decision. It's either Los Angeles or Anaheim. It can't be both. Personally, I prefer the California Angels.

Fits great
I bought for boating. I bought two one in pink and one in black love them both. The short sleeve one is easier to get on then the long sleeve one I bought. They are snug but not to tight. Can't wait to wear them out on the water. Would also recommend wearing a bikini top instead of a tanking or full swimsuit underneath. The rash guard dries fast but the swimsuit doesn't always especially under the rash guard.

Keeps me warm!!!
I use this 2 times a week in my water exercise class. I live in Michigan and it is cold but this keeps me warm in the pool! LOVE IT!
Becky B.
It's great!
I have had this for a while and it hasn't been torn or had to go through repair!!
Does the trick
Keeps me warm in the pool while playing water volleyball. Fits just right.

Use the size chart
I used the size chart to find my size. I normally wear a M or L top (in regular clothes, not rash guards), but the size chart indicated XL. It fits perfectly. Quality is good. I'm 5"11, 147lbs.
Oakland, CA
Not flattering at all!
It is too tight around the neck. Feels like you are being choked. The color makes all of your flaws stand out. Not flattering. I returned it.
Lakeland, FL
Size: Feels too small
Rashguard fit too small
The womens rashguard was very well made, I liked the color; but it was made too small. I returned it unfortunately and ordered boardshorts instead.
Exceeded Expectations
I swim long distances in open water and needed some extra sun protection. This rashguard fits true to size, is very comfortable, and looks amazing. I ordered it in butter and will be ordering another today.
Clearwater, FL
Bought it for my daughter, she wears a girl's 14, the xs shirt was pretty snug, not comfy to her. Cute, though!
Cute design thin material
This is a very cute design but the fabric is thin. I had a yellow one which I returned. I like Sporti brand and I got one from them and the material is much thicker and costs less. I got a black Sporti bikini bottom at the same time and the material was much thicker, blacker and sturdier. Sporti products cost less too. I have other Body Glove products which are better quality. The rash guard just seems a little thin.

The driving experience is filled with audible sensations: some good and some bad. Blower whine-good. Fan belt whine-bad. Exhaust rumble-good. Interior rumbling-bad.
It doesn't take many of these bad noises to ruin the time behind the wheel of our favorite machines. And if there's one thing that can make a car seem like a pile of nuts and bolts, no matter how fast it is, it's the rattles and squeaks. Tracing and quieting some of these noises can be difficult at times. The easiest solution is to crank up the stereo and drown out the offensive sounds.
Unfortunately we weren't able to perform the quick fix on our '70 Monte Carlo, as the car didn't have a working stereo until recently. After spending five months using the Monte as daily transportation and listening to all the moans and creaks, it was finally time for us to do something.
The most noticeable problem was a worn-out driver's side door hinge that allowed the door to bounce up and down while cruising with the window down. We contacted The Paddock and ordered a hinge repair kit and some weatherstripping. As it turned out, the repair was performed by one guy and only took about an hour. A quick fix to several months of suffering.
While we were working on the doors, we also took the door panels off and made sure that there was no debris rattling around inside them. We also checked that the lock rods and the door-release rods were not loose and banging against the inside metal door skin.
The door, hood, and decklid latches were all checked to ensure that they were adjusted correctly and holding the panels tight against the bumpers and rubber. By taking a slow walk around the car and tapping on the sheetmetal or bouncing it up and down and looking and listening, we were able to find a few other problems, as well. The front bumper was making contact with the grille and needed to be adjusted down a tad.
There are still some offensive noises that only show up while driving-they are getting fewer but harder to detect and fix. After all, this is a 30-year-old car and will never be as solid as a new one. However, with help and some adjustments it doesn't have to be an annoyance to drive or ride in.

Ascension Health's Chief Advocacy Officer to Present Flanagan Lecture
Susan Nestor Levy to Talk about Ethical Challenges of Health ReformEvent Details: 5:30 p.m., February 24
ST. LOUIS -- Susan Nestor Levy, chief advocacy officer of Ascension Health, will discuss the opportunities and challenges of health care reform at Saint Louis University School of Public Health's 37th annual Flanagan Lecture. Levy will focus on the role of leaders post health reform and the opportunities for the business community.
|Susan Nestor Levy
Nationally recognized for her leadership role in health administration, Levy will speak at 5:30 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 24 in the auditorium of the Learning Resource Center, 3544 Caroline Mall, at Saint Louis University Medical Center.
As chief advocacy officer, Levy oversees part of Ascension Health's Call to Action, "Healthcare that Leaves No One Behind." The initiative frames Ascension Health's commitment to the most vulnerable, setting a goal of providing 100 percent access and 100 percent coverage by 2020. Levy also operates a legislative and public policy office in Washington, D.C., and oversees Ascension Health's national role in expanding access to communities in 19 states and Washington, D.C.
She also oversees the Daughters of Charity-St. Louis Foundation and serves as executive director of Ascension Health's international ministry, Seton Institute, which supports primary care projects and serves as a humanitarian early responder to emergencies in some of the world's poorest communities.
Prior to joining Ascension Health, Levy served as executive director of policy in the office of policy and representation for the Blue Cross and Blue Shield Association in Washington, D.C., and was responsible for formulating the association's national policy on health care legislation. She also served as the Medicare Part A legislative and policy expert to the United States Senate Committee on Finance, one of a small number of health staff to the U.S. Congress during the historic Clinton health reform debate. This followed a dozen years overseeing strategy in multi-hospital systems in Michigan and Minnesota.
Levy received her bachelor's degree from the University of Notre Dame and holds a master's of hospital and health services administration degree from Saint Louis University.
The Saint Louis University School of Public Health Flanagan Lecture honors the Rev. John J. Flanagan, S.J., a Jesuit leader who founded Saint Louis University's hospital administration program in 1947. Father Flanagan served as director of that degree program for 20 years, which is now the Master of Health Administration program.
Since 1969, a long list of distinguished leaders have shared their insights on issues of access to care, financing and quality as Flanagan lecturers. As Levy addresses the ethical challenges of health care reform, she builds upon the tradition that Father Flanagan began.
The lecture, which is followed by a reception, is open to the public. Parking is available in the Hickory East garage, at the corner of Theresa Avenue and Hickory.
Please RSVP to Sara Ferguson at firstname.lastname@example.com or contact Carolyn Williams at email@example.com and (314) 977-8148 for more information.

May God have mercy on us all...
Osama bin Laden, at whose hands thousands have tragically died,
has died at our hands.
The one who took thousands of lives by violence
has now lost his by violence.
The mastermind of 9/11 and the face of global terrorism
has been silenced and snuffed out.
A critical chapter in world history has closed.
Many more chapters remain to be read, understood and written.
May God have mercy on us all
and lead us to that peace the world cannot give.

I heard this news late last night when I woke up after falling asleep earlier than I expected- and the tv was on- at first I thought I was still asleep, dreaming or something- what was on the tv didn't seem real, and it didn't even make much sense, in a way- probably due to my half-sleep state-
Today at work I heard a few comments/opinions on this news (which I'm sure was the case for most people)-
most were happy, but I agreed with one co-worker who said, "it's sad."
I immediately felt I understood what she meant with those two words, and also the words she did not say.
She is the only one I had a bit of a conversation with about this (a very little bit)-
in my not-so-eloquently-put words, I said, "it's a bad thing coming from a bad thing."
My co-worker said she knew what I meant and agreed with me.
(please don't misunderstand me here- although I do realize I have probably not made it easy to understand me-
it just feels like a very complicated and terrible situation (not his death, but EVERYTHING)
- May 2, 2011 at 5:36 PM
Austin - I asked a few people yesterday what this meant. All the celebrating..yet someone's life was taken.
I am glad to see a few days later that some people are talking about this.
A beautiful prayer.
"May God have mercy on us all
and lead us to that peace the world cannot give."
Is it "world cannot" or "chooses not to"???
- May 3, 2011 at 4:57 PM
I know you are not asking me this question, Gerry, but I'd like to offer my answer:
"Is it "world cannot" or "chooses not to"???
I think it is actually BOTH sometimes, or a lot of times-
and often both at the same time-

Heh, sure, of course there's a few warnings. Shared libraries, other
processes writing to the filesystem, caching, etc. Also if used on a file
it's highly filesystem dependent, see the man page.

Hoft to Direct Infectious Diseases, Allergy & Immunology Division
ST. LOUIS -- Daniel F. Hoft, M.D., Ph.D., has been named director of the division of infectious diseases, allergy and immunology in the department of internal medicine. The new division merges the division of immunobiology, which Hoft previously had directed, with the division of infectious diseases.
|Daniel Hoft, M.D.
Hoft, who joined Saint Louis University School of Medicine as an assistant professor of internal medicine in 1992, is a renowned researcher in the areas of immunology, infectious diseases and vaccine development. He is an internationally recognized tuberculosis vaccine expert. In addition, his research has led to the development of new vaccines in pre-clinical development for Chagas disease, a major cause of cardiac and gastrointestinal problems throughout Latin America.
"Given the rising problem of tuberculosis across the world, particularly among immune-compromised hosts and in association with TB drug-resistance, the need for a safe and effective vaccine has become even more critical," said Adrian Di Bisceglie, M.D., chairman and professor of internal medicine and holder of the Bander Chair in Internal Medicine.
"Dr. Hoft and his investigators at Saint Louis University have been among the leaders in the efforts to develop such a vaccine."
Hoft is a graduate of the University of Missouri-Columbia's School of Medicine. He received his Ph.D., from the University of Iowa, where he also was a resident and a fellow in infectious diseases.
Hoft has played a leadership role in the School of Medicine's M.D./Ph.D. program, mentoring a large number of Ph.D. students and post-doctoral trainees. The author of more than 50 peer-reviewed journal articles, Hoft has served as principle investigator for eight NIH grants, co-investigator for more than six other NIH grants, and principle investigator of 12 TB vaccine clinical trials. He also has participated in numerous National Institutes of Health review committees for research grants and as an advisor to the World Health Organization and other international bodies.
"I look forward to Dr. Hoft's efforts to build upon the strong tradition of excellence in the division of infectious diseases and the Center for Vaccine Development at Saint Louis University," Di Bisceglie said. "I have every confidence that Dr. Hoft will be an outstanding leader for our students, residents and faculty members in that division and beyond."
Established in 1836, the School of Medicine has the distinction of awarding the first medical degree west of the Mississippi River. The school educates physicians and biomedical scientists, conducts medical research, and provides health care on a local, national and international level. Research at the school seeks new cures and treatments in five key areas: infectious disease, liver disease, aging and brain disease, cancer and heart/lung disease.

Detroit Red Wings (8-4-2) at Edmonton Oilers (3-9-2), 10 p.m.
(SportsNetwork.com) - The Edmonton Oilers try to avoid their second five-game losing streak already on the young season as they play host on Saturday night to the Detroit Red Wings.
The Oilers have lost three times in regulation during their current slide, including Tuesday's 4-0 setback to visiting Toronto. The Maple Leafs got 43 saves from James Reimer, dropping Edmonton to 1-4-0 at home this season.
With Devan Dubnyk out for a second straight game due to an ankle injury, Richard Bachman got another start. He made 47 saves in last Sunday's shootout defeat to the Los Angeles Kings, but yielded four goals on 26 shots on Tuesday.
"We got out-finished," Oilers head coach Dallas Eakins said. "We gave them three absolute gifts."
Dubnyk was able to skate with Edmonton on Thursday and could get the start tonight. He is 2-1-2 with a 2.47 goals against average in five career meetings with the Red Wings.
While Edmonton could get its No. 1 netminder back, defenseman Justin Schultz is questionable due to an undisclosed injury, while David Perron's status is also in doubt due to pain in his neck and back.
Perron did not play on Tuesday due to illness, but was unable to return to practice due to his latest issue and was set to undergo an MRI. He has two goals and nine points in 13 games this season.
The Red Wings have followed up an 0-2-2 skid by winning the first two contests of a four-game tour through Western Canada. They began the trip with a win in Vancouver and then bested the Calgary Flames 4-3 last night.
Detroit rebounded after blowing a two-goal lead, getting the winner from Justin Abdelkader as well as goals by Pavel Datsyuk, Tomas Tatar and Henrik Zetterberg. Jimmy Howard made 22 saves.
"We all worked hard out there tonight," said Howard. "It was nice to get this win since we have another one tomorrow against another tough team."
Howard will get the night off on Saturday and with backup Jonas Gustavsson out with a strained neck, Petr Mrazek will make his first start of the season with the Red Wings and third of his career.
The 21-year-old went 1-1-0 in two games during February of last season, allowing four goals on 51 shots.
Johan Franzen could sit out tonight for Detroit. He missed the Vancouver victory with an undisclosed injury, then left after just one shift last night because of illness.
The Red Wings have won four straight and 11 of their last 12 meetings with the Oilers, claiming all three matchups last season. They have won four of their past five in Edmonton, including a 3-2 overtime victory on March 15.

Coach Tomlin's Post-Game CommentsPosted by on November 13, 2012 – 1:04 am
Coach Tomlin: That's no Ernie Banks, but we'll take it. We won't apologize for it either. Such is life in the NFL. The guys made the necessary plays to get out of the stadium with the win.Big time kudos to all of the people that made the necessary plays, particularly Lawrence Timmons, who made a big play there for us in overtime. On the injury front, Ryan Clark is being evaluated for a concussion. We don't have definitive information on that at this time. It happened too late in the game. Ben [Roethlisberger] has a right shoulder that's being evaluated. We don't know the status of that as we sit here right now. Obviously, those two men are critical to our efforts here moving ahead. When I get information you'll get it. But, I love the contributions by all parties involved. We were short some bodies and guys had an opportunity to step up. I appreciate their efforts. [It was] enough to win.
Was Roethlisberger taken from the stadium?
To my knowledge he was. But again, I don't know where he is as I sit here right now.
How did QB Byron Leftwich do filling in for the injured Roethlisberger?
The great thing about Byron is he's got a very consistent demeanor, a very calming presence. It wasn't a pretty body of work by any of us, but his consistency remains the same in terms of being a stabilizing force for us. We appreciate him. Big time play. Several plays for him, particularly down the stretch. I thought the third down conversion to Jerricho Cotchery was huge.
If Roethlisberger can't play, Leftwich is your guy, correct?
I'm not going to get into hypotheticals as I sit here right now. I'm waiting to see what his status is like before we make any determinations.
How big was it to shut the Chiefs down on third down?
The big thing was, particularly in the second half, was calming the run down to the point where we had them in some third and long situations where we could apply some pressure. Too often, particularly in the first half of the game, I thought they were coming up in third-and-shorts, third-and-two, third-and-three, because they were running the ball effectively and I have to give them credit for that. We effectively stopped the run and got them in third-and-long and then we played to our strengths, if you will.
Were the Chiefs doing anything defensively that gave you problems?
No, it was just that we didn't perform very well. We accept responsibility for that. We're not going to make excuses. We're not going to take anything away from our opponent either, though. That group came to play tonight. I tip my hat to Coach Crennel and company over there. But we didn't do enough to play good football. We did do enough to win, though.
Were you searching for something by using three different punt returners tonight?
No, we weren't. To my knowledge we only used two.
Didn't Sanders return the first punt?
No, he didn't. We used [David] Gilreath and we gave Chris Rainey one.
What is your level of concern with Roethlisberger's injury?
I'm not because I don't live in the hypothetical world. I wait until I get information and then I respond accordingly to that information.
Re: The consistency of Shaun Suisham:
He's been rock solid for us. Not only tonight, but all season, regardless of circumstance or conditions. We respect him. He's a critical part of our football team.
Re: Roethlisberger's injury:
Again, I just get information from my medical staff. It was the end of a possession, he came off the field, at some point in the next possession when the defense was on the field I got information that he was being evaluated and that's all I know regarding it.

TYNDALL AFB— A 35,000-pound drone crashed at the end of a runway during takeoff Wednesday morning, closing U.S. Highway 98 for more than 24 hours.
The drone is a converted Phantom jet fighter referred to as a QF-4.
"We crashed a QF-4 on the runway at Tyndall," said Col. James Vogel, commander of the 53rd Weapons Evaluation Group (WEG), which is in charge of the drone program at Tyndall.
To compound the problem, Air Force officials said that as of Wednesday evening they did not know whether an explosive device was used to destroy the drone or if it veered off course during its mission.
"We don't know of any evidence that the charge was detonated or not," Vogel said.
Air Force officials also said they would not search for the device until the battery inside ran down, which usually takes about 24 hours.
"We don't know where it is yet, so we are going to wait until its time has completely expired and we will more forward from there," Vogel said.
Mission Support Cmdr. William Grund said fire and smoke surrounding the drone was hampering efforts to learn the status of the device. Grund said the Air Force has cordoned off a 4,000-foot radius around crash site until the fire goes out sometime Thursday.
The incident prompted Air Force officials to close U.S. 98 through Tyndall on Wednesday morning, forcing a miles-long traffic snarl between Parker and Mexico Beach. The highway is expected to remain closed until Thursday afternoon, officials said late Wednesday.
The crash occurred while a second drone was in the air. Tyndall officials said they blew up the second drone with a missile over the Gulf as planned.
Grund said the highway is routinely closed when drones are launched and when they return to the base.
Witnesses to Wednesday's crash reported black smoke rising from the base just before 9 a.m.
"They (Air Force security) stopped us on Highway 98 by the fire station when they launched the drones," said Dylan Dunaway, who commutes from Port St. Joe to Panama City to attend Gulf Coast State College. "We were stopped when we saw a plume of black smoke getting bigger and bigger coming from the airfield. The fire trucks started moving and we knew something was wrong."
The drones assigned to the 53rd WEG run about 100 missions each year, Vogel said.
The QF-4 is referred to as a "reusable drone," according to the Air Force's website. It is 63 feet long 16 feet high and weighs 30,328 pounds. With jet fuel added, the weight is about 35,000 pounds, Vogel said.
The drone was being operated by the 53rd Weapons Evaluation Group, a unit that reports to the 53rd Wing at Eglin Air Force Base.
Air Force officials are reviewing the details of the crash.
"The 53rd Wing is first and foremost concerned about safety," Col. Lane Humphreys, vice commander of the 53rd Wing, said in an email Wednesday afternoon. "A thorough investigation will be conducted in order to determine the cause of the crash and how this can be prevented in the future."
Wednesday's crash was the second incident within a week involving a drone from Tyndall. On July 11, a drone had to be destroyed over the Gulf of Mexico near St. Joseph Peninsula State Park, the Gulf County Sheriff's Office said.

Veho Renovo photo scanner
Very easy to use, good results, compact design
No editing software, a bit pricey
Cast your mind back to the days when Facebook didn't exist, DM referred to a boot rather than a direct message and no one had a digital camera. Remember? Chances are that it's hard to forget, as you've probably got shoeboxes full of old photos to remind you. That's where the Veho Renovo photo scanner comes in. This gadget lets you turn your 6 x 4-inch photo memories into JPEGs so that you can file your nostalgic family prints away on your hard drive for future generations or simply annoy your friends by posting dreadful, old pictures of them on Facebook.
The Renovo scanner is pretty compact, measuring in at just 157.4 x 43 x 54.4mm and tipping the scales at a lightweight 230g. The white plastic finish actually looks fairly slick close-up, and the unit is reasonably sturdy too. The feeding slot for the photos stretches across the front of the device and it features a paper guide on the right to make sure that your photo fits snugly. Next to the main slot you'll find the power button alongside an indicator light that tells you whether the scanner is on, if there's a memory card inserted and if there's any paper jammed in the scanner.
Unsurprisingly, there's a fairly sparse collection of connections round the back of the scanner which are limited to a power socket, a multi-format memory card slot and a Mini-USB port for hooking the scanner up to your computer. And of course, there's the back of the feeding slot, where the photos come out after they've been scanned.
Setup couldn't be easier - all you need to do is pop a memory card in, hook the power cable up to the mains and turn it on and you're ready to go. The memory card slot supports pretty much every format under the sun including SD, xD (H-type and M-type), MS, MS Pro and MMC. Be warned that there's no memory card supplied, so you'll need to sort one out for yourself.
All you need to do is carefully feed your photos, one by one into the slot, where they'll be automatically picked up and fed through the scanner. For your older, more fragile photos, the instructions suggest that you use the somewhat amusingly named anti-curl sheath that's supplied in the box. This keeps the photo flat and protected while it goes through the scanner so that it doesn't get caught and damaged and so that it can be scanned evenly. It's also a good idea to use it with any photos that have been in a photo album that uses glue so that none of the gummy remnants come off the back of the picture and end up in the scanner.
To view the photos, you can then either remove the card and plug it into a card reader, or just hook up the scanner directly to your computer using the supplied USB cable. This also enables you to scan directly to your computer. The scanner also comes bundled with a disc containing software that will work on Windows 2000, XP, Vista or above, although not on a Mac. We were expecting some sort of photo-editing options, but all the software does is enable you to set the default location that the photos will be scanned to, whether that's the memory card or a folder on your computer.
Scanning takes about 5 seconds, so even if you've got a collection of hundreds of snaps, it shouldn't be too arduous to work your way through them and after a few snaps, you should be able to build up considerable speed in terms of loading the photos in.
Considering the original picture quality of the photos, the scanned images are pretty sharp. You might get a slightly more refined image by using a more high-end flat-bed scanner, but the pictures are only ever going to be as good as the originals (until you tinker with them on Photoshop). We also tried scanning a postcard, but the scanner isn't really built for scanning printed images, such as clippings from magazines (or in this case, postcards) - and the results are rather grainy.
The only real downside is you can't scan anything bigger than 6 x 4 inches. While it's true that this has been the standard size for snapshots for some years, it doesn't help us much when it comes to our collection of 7 x 5-inch photos. For anything bigger than 6 x 4 inches you'll need a flat-bed scanner or a portable device that's slightly bigger than the Renovo, such as the DocuScan.
Overall, we were impressed with how easy the Veho Renovo scanner was to set up and use and we were also happy with the picture quality of the JPEGs that came from it. It would have been nice to include the capability to scan larger, 7 x 5 photos but we can't complain too much about this, as the Renovo is very clear about what it offers. The price tag of £79.99 seems a tiny bit steep for such a basic device, particularly as once you've scanned all of your old 6 x 4 photos you won't really have much use for it anymore. However, if you need a compact scanner to sort out those shoeboxes full of snaps then the Renovo fits the bill.

"Just Another Man"
He looks in the mirror every morning and night,
Does he see what I see, it would be nice if he might.
He sees a rude man as he stands there,
I see someone who needs someone to care.
He sees a mean man, because he has to be tough,
I see someone who deals with more than enough.
He sees how he tries not to cry and feels he has no heart,
I see someone who has to keep his feelings and work apart.
He sees a murderer because he shot someone last night,
I see someone who saved someone else from a fight.
He sees a failure because he did not arrive in time
I see someone who did his best and needs peace of mind.
He sees just another man as he enters the day,
I see a special man who does his best in every way.
For all the years, he has put on the uniform of blue,
He has never realized how much he protects me and you.
But, as he starts the day again, I just wish he could see,
What he really is and how much he means to you and me.

"We're working to get him signed somewhere else," he said. "I'm going to do what's best for Melvin."

1624 Abbot Kinney Blvd Venice CA 90291
We love the city of Los Angeles here at The Style King. Our shop of the week is one that is the epitomy of Californian cool – combining American heritage with modern, laidback LA style. The store in question is Surfing Cowboys, a vintage store selling vintage clothing and furniture, as well as their own t-shirts and trinkets. What Surfing Cowboys represents is a lifestyle – items lovingly collected for their gang of dedicated customers.
Situated on the famous Abbot Kinney Boulevard in Venice Beach, Surfing Cowboys was founded in 1995 by vintage enthusiasts Wayne and Donna. After collecting vintage goodies for years for ther own pleasure, they decided to turn their workshop into a store. Fascinated by the idea of collecting, Surfing Cowboys was soon developed around the ideas of the American West – ideas about conquering your environement and making it your own.Of course, some of Wayne and Donna's rhetoric is a little sickly for us Brits - their shop description reading like a new age mantra, seeking to 'capture the lifestyle of freedom, transformation, and reinvention' of California – but their intentions are good, and their products remain of the highest standards. There is no definite product range, but instead consists of what Donna and Wayne can find – from Navajo rugs, cowboy boots to mid century furniture. And, with their own range now available, you can purchase a slice of the Californian brand – the perfect souvenir.
But what is most appealing is the pure American-ness of it. Their collection straddles US history, providing the tourist or the local alike with a range of products inspired by California and America itself. And with 'Americana' being such an inspiration point to this summer's collections, now is the perfect time to head to Surfing Cowboys. Or, if you are lucky enough to live in California, make the trip to LA – you won't be disappointed.

Discussion in 'Fly Fishing Forum' started by Olive bugger, Sep 30, 2013.
...she's "shining" alright...
Well she was until they got out into that maze in the middle of that snow storm. I saw that movie also. Jack Nicholson was the berries in it.
I hope to drive through Duvall this week, as I do I will think of this thread and what I might be able to add of value to this lovely and interesting on-going topic of Duvall, WA.
Remember to obey the traffic laws. Will you be going Northbound or
Southbound? Although DUVALL, cosmopolitan as it is, does not have a fly shop, there is one further south, in Carnation. But that is another town ship and another story.
There's a fly shop in carnation?
Shit, don't go there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Is Aaron's still there and is he just open on Thursday's and a half a day on Saturday's
Donno Jim. My last trip through there the sign read, "CLOSED"
I stopped in to see what he had once day, and he tried to convert me
to two hand fishing. I sometimes have trouble finding both hands so
why would I want a rod with two grips?
Golfman, the shop is on the south end of town on the east side of the street. It is an
old house with a sign on the front. I believe the name of it is River Run or somesuch
name. Just bring your money and walk in. He will sell you a brand new Spey rod and
some line and maybe a new reel. Noooooo Problemo.
River Run Anglers. The shop isn't "open" very often, but I believe Aaron conducts his casting clinics on the Sloqualmie most if not all Saturdays in Fall City.
I used to spend a little time in his shop. I once tied up 100 Blood Worms for him. That took a little time as all were of the woven kind. He's also the kind of guy that will loan you a rod or a reel. No questions asked.
I only met the man once and he seemed nice enough to me. He was a little miffed at the fishing regs but hey, who isn't sometimes?
Yeah, and then go back to his shop after classes and bullshit and drink beer. I did that many times with Aaron.
Looks like another trip to DUVALL. Need to pick up some SeaFoam
for my outboard and a few other things.
You need to cut down on your trips there. Evan and Itchy Dog will think you are stalking them.
It is soooooo close to home.
The beauty of Main street....well, I just can't look away.
Itchy Dog is a Duvallian?
Yup. Moved here in 1990 because we couldn't afford to buy a house anywhere else. Never left. Unless I can talk Mrs. Itchy into moving east, I'm not going anywhere.
You say that like it is a BAD thing.
Being a DUVALLIAN is ken to being a Roman Citizen in the good olde days, only without all the road apples. AND, you don't have all those pesky Vandals and Barbarians sacking the place every week.
The story of most of us who moved to Duvall.
I worked in outer Woodinville also.
Hey this thread is slowly dying. You can't let this happen.

It's almost comical how the perceptions fans – and sometimes media – have for players is how a player is expected to develop. Obviously you expect good things from first rounders (Derick Brassard, Nikita Filatov) or guys who have big first seasons (Steve Mason). Sometimes you're gifted with met expectations (Brassard, to some degree), and sometimes you're left wanting more (Mason, Filatov). But realistically, not every first round draft pick is going to turn into a Rick Nash or a Steven Stamkos. The talent is not always that deep. As evidenced in the 2010 draft – there were two primary prospects who were expected to be the crème of the crop. (Were they, in retrospect? Not yet, at least.) The other 28 kids taken in that round were, essentially, the actual first round. You can't expect #30 to be #1, and you can't expect it overnight.
Similarly, why does anybody expect Kris Russell to be Drew Doughty or Cam Fowler? They were different-round picks. Different ages. Different sizes. Different backgrounds. Russell was a 30-goal scoring WHL Defenseman of the Year, but he is a 5'10" (generous), 180 (again, generous) sometimes-clumsy-but-speedy skater. He was also a third round draft pick because of one thing: his size. That is the same reason teams were hesitant to draft him higher and is the same reason he has gone through growing pains in the NHL. He isn't conveniently large like Marc Methot – he has to use his feet, stick, and mobility to get into places the bigger guys just are. (Sidenote, Russell has 31 more blocked shots than Methot and 37 more than Tyutin, our so-called defensive defensemen.)
And who says he's got to score 20 goals to be effective at his "style" of play? He is a "puck-moving defenseman" not a "goal scoring defenseman" and has excelled in moving the puck up ice as he's expected to (in a way that only he and Clitsome have managed to do). But that doesn't always translate to the score sheet. If the forwards aren't effective with the puck themselves, the ability of the defenseman to move the play out of his zone goes unnoticed on the score sheet and shamefully, to the eye of most of the fans. But for the most part, Russell's ability to move the puck forward does not come at the expense of the defense the way it hurts Fedor Tyutin or Anton Stralman.
Is it because the Dispatch and the media like to tout every player as "the next [insert player here]" that people build up unreasonable expectations of players? Did Scott Arniel or Scott Howson ever tell you that Kris Russell was going to be a Norris Trophy winner? No. He fits the bill for a third-rounder, 5'10", low cap-hit player moving into his fifth season in the fall, and that's exactly what he is.

Wait for full autopsy at the trial - bathrooms have plenty of hard surfaces and skulls are thinner in some places than others so a number of factors could come into play, many depending on how hard an impact and where it was made as well as what caused it.
As for an empty bladder - the body voids after death as well as to order in a bathroom, so the autopsy may also indicate whether she was standing or seated/crouching when the bullets entered her body along with the ballistics evidence. The police really need to get a lid on press speculation with this case now.

I'd say it really depends on whether it's pre- or post-flush. It's difficult to sit down to wash your hands.

Man's last wish means a huge tip in Vt.The Associated Press | December 06,2013Provided Photo
Seth Collins, in blue, carried out his brothers last wish and gave Springfield waitress Julie Bombria a $500 tip, which she holds up in this photo.SPRINGFIELD Before Aaron Collins died, he gave his brother, Seth, a mission: Eat, be merry and leave a giant tip.
Wednesday night, Seth Collins of Lexington, Ky., did just that, leaving a $500 tip for a Friendlys waitress in Springfield. Its part of a nationwide tour that Collins is carrying out in the name of his brother, who died in July 2012 at the age of 30.
The Eagle Times of Claremont, N.H., reported Thursday that the Friendlys waitress, Julie Bombria, said she thought she was going to faint after getting the generous tip.
This is the nicest thing anyone has done, she said.
In his will, Aaron Collins asked his family to give his money to people in need. His cause of death is still unknown, according to the newspaper. Through his family, hes given away 81 tips throughout the Midwest, Pacific and Mountain West regions and is now in New England.
Initially, Seth Collins took family and friends to dinner at a Lexington restaurant, gave their server $500 and recorded it. Aarons wish was fulfilled but far from over. Seth Collins put a video of his first tipping spree on Facebook and started getting donations from around the world. The totals up to $50,000.
(Aaron) thought it would be a one-shot deal, Collins said. I was going to do this like three or four times, but people were so compelled that they kept giving money. Im going to give it back on behalf of my brother.
He is on his way to Maine, then he will work his way down through New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and the Mid-Atlantic.
Being on the other side of the table and giving away $500 tips is very rewarding, Collins said.MORE IN Southern VermontBENNINGTON — Ask author and Bennington College graduate Charlotte Silver if the title of...
