Report: Maloofs met with Bettman about buying an NHL team
Apr 12, 2013, 11:03 AM EDT
The soon-to-be-former owners of the NBA's Sacramento Kings — the Maloof family — have met with NHL commissioner Gary Bettman about buying a hockey team, "with Las Vegas among the possible destinations," according to a report in the Sacramento Bee.
Nothing else was reported on the NHL angle, as the story was mostly about the Kings' potential move to Seattle. (Which could have other NHL implications.)
Even though it's just a meeting, and we're sure the commissioner has had meetings about all sorts of relocation/expansion possibilities, the story at at least gives us another opportunity to ponder how the NHL would fare in Vegas, which would obviously be a market like no other.
Would it be mostly locals that went to games, or would it be tourists?
Would the casinos have to take their NHL odds off the boards?
Would any of the Colorado Avalanche request a trade there?
Would there be a buffet?

Would any team there have a perfect home record because their opponents would be too spent from the strip?
Would Jagr sign for a below market-value deal?

They could pay him in casino markers

While so many call Bettman an idiot, he wouldn't ignore Quebec or Seattle for Vegas. Especially if it was the Coyotes. Kansas City I think has a higher chance of happening.

Yes, let's put another hockey team in the desert, it worked so well last time.
- barkar942 - Apr 12, 2013 at 1:25 PM
You want to add a team to the dessert table at the buffet?
Oh, desert, as in sand! My bad.
Sam Kinnison's take on world hunger. Just replace the word food with fans.
- axisofweasels - Apr 12, 2013 at 11:43 AM
yes, lets give another pro sports team to a bunch of cheapskates more concerned with profit over anything else and who ruined a basketball franchise, and put it in a worse non-traditional hockey market than phoenix.
scru u bettman
- jkulha86 - Apr 12, 2013 at 11:45 AM
First thing that comes to mind when you say desert is hockey, obviously. You already have one desert team struggling to survive, so why not put another team in the desert? Add in the fact that Vegas is mostly a tourist town. It would be extremely difficult to establish a strong fan base.

Would tickets to the opening game fetch $20 on Pawn Stars?
- steelpenbucs87 - Apr 12, 2013 at 1:19 PM
Sorry… best they can do is $12.50. I mean, they have to clean them up, find a spot to display them…. and even then they need to find a buyer. Maybe in the Gretzky days you could get $20 for opening day tickets, but they just don't have people walking in looking for NHL tickets these days….
- rca26 - Apr 12, 2013 at 11:57 AM
Forget the market for a second:
The Maloofs should not be allowed anywhere NEAR the NHL. They are an absolute disaster of an ownership group, and would make Koules and Barrie look near-competent. They've just about single-handedly destroyed the Sacramento Kings franchise. Why anyone would consider talking to them about owning another Big 4 sports team is beyond me.
Then again, this is Bettman we're talking about.
- imleftcoast - Apr 12, 2013 at 1:11 PM
Completely agree. I've met these guys, and they are douches comparable to Bettman. Knowing Bettman, he's just doing this to try and get leverage with the city of Glendale or some other nefarious end. How did a sport like hockey end up with a commissioner like him?
- worldseriestiger - Apr 12, 2013 at 12:13 PM
imagine that buffet at the games…how awesome would it be if it was only like $5 if you bought a ticket to the game and the arena was close to the strip? That right there could draw 15K per game…and no Evander Kane comments yet? well, there ya go
- supr49er - Apr 12, 2013 at 12:53 PM
Road Trip !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The stands will be full for the visiting teams. Winter roadies to Vegas are never a bad thing.
- tuberippin - Apr 12, 2013 at 1:26 PM
If the Maloofs get to own an NHL franchise, that team's market is screwed. Those guys are just a pair of rich douchebags who don't know how to run a team well…look at how they've ruined the Sacramento Kings in the NBA.

Article "the kings moving to Seattle"
Me: what the hell, they just won the cup, why would they move them out of LA…. Oh wait, the other sport kings. Oops
- godsmacked1 - Apr 12, 2013 at 7:11 PM
Please, enough with the US markets. Kansas City? Las Vegas? Seattle? They sure don't sound like hockey hot beds. They're thinking of putting a franchise that is struggling at the gate due to lack of interest in a new city that has no knowledge of the history of the game? Once the newness wears off, you'll have another Phoenix/Atlanta situation again. Give Canada the next expansion/relocated team. Quebec deserves it more than any US city. Grow the game where it will be appreciated.
- badintent - Apr 12, 2013 at 8:13 PM
Quebec ? Really ? so they can have more riots ? Maybe the Bloc can own them, then insist on seperating from the NHL. Have another donut Dbag
- godsmacked1 - Apr 12, 2013 at 8:16 PM
To stupid to come up with your own insult, a$$ wipe?
- tuberippin - Apr 12, 2013 at 8:42 PM
Oh you Quebecois, always thinking of Quebec above all else. It's not like the most successful NHL franchise is situated in Quebec or anything, but hey, let's throw them another one before anyone else.
How about we move the Coyotes to Hamilton like we should have done four years ago, and Quebec can go back to half-fighting for a sovereign Habitant nation?
- godsmacked1 - Apr 12, 2013 at 8:57 PM
Dude, I'm not from Quebec. I'm from the States. Forgive me for not being up on Canadian politics. Anywhere in Canada is fine with me.
- tuberippin - Apr 12, 2013 at 9:01 PM
Apologies then. I'm used to being around arrogant Quebecois.
The issue with a lot of potential Canadian cities is somewhat similar to that of many potential US cities. A plurality of the potential Canadian cities have plenty of hockey fans, but not large populations overall. Most of the potential US cities have plenty of people, but not a large base of hockey fans. It's a tough situation, and Gary Bettman being a terrible commissioner doesn't help at all.
- critter69 - Apr 12, 2013 at 11:02 PM
"A plurality of the potential Canadian cities have plenty of hockey fans, but not large populations overall. Most of the potential US cities have plenty of people, but not a large base of hockey fans."
An example, but in the opposite manner, of what 'tuberippin' was stating is Fort Wayne, Indiana. The city has had a minor league hockey team continously since 1952, which is an indication that it has a base of hockey fans. The problem is that Fort Wayne has about 255,000 population. And the arena that hockey is played in in Fort Wayne seats about 13,000, but also opened in 1952 (and no, the Coliseum was not constructed for the Komets, but for the Pistons [the NBA team now in Detroit]).
- jhuck92 - Apr 12, 2013 at 10:02 PM
The Maloofs ruined a franchise in another sport already. How/Why they think they can do better in a different sport is beyond me.
- blomfeld - Apr 12, 2013 at 11:10 PM
I just knew there had to be a reason why the new NHL alignment appears to be out of skew. The Western Conference needs two new teams and they need them now! So I say Seattle and "luck be a lady" Vegas! It's a complete "no-brainer" and all of you negative Q's need to get with the program man!
- jdrew506 - Apr 12, 2013 at 11:47 PM

Out to find my partner in crime...
I'm an up for anything kind of gal and love to try new things. I like camping and sleeping under the stars as much as I enjoy dinner and drinks at a lovely restaurant. I can't go anywhere without my headphones and love to walk the aisles of my favorite record store in search of my next musical obsessions. Sunny days in Seattle are amazing, but I feel most at home here when it rains. I have amazing friends and family that I enjoy spending my time with. I love my job, but work hard to have a balanced life that doesn't revolve around work. I can be silly and playful, but love a deep conversation when two people care enough to challenge each other. I'm looking for a man who is driven, passionate, inquisitive, and curious about the world. Someone who is spontaneous, romantic, and rarely says no to an interesting new adventure. I'd love to find someone who has a fulfilling life with a job they are passionate about, great friends and a full life. I'm social and enjoy being around people and experiencing new things, so someone who is outgoing and sociable would be perfect for me. I'm kind of a music fanatic so I'd love to find a man who loves a good rock show as much as I do.

I exercise 3-4 times per week.
I have Cats
I have a kitty named Ruby so it would be great if you weren't allergic or annoyed by cats. She's lovely, btw.
Very Liberal
Locally, I love Bait Shop, Oddfellows, Smith and Liberty among others. I also love to travel and have spent time in Europe, Taiwan and India. I also love cozy little PNW beach towns and day trips exploring quirky little places on road trips.
Music: Beach House, The Beatles, Wavves, Carly Simon, Alt-J, Ray Charles, Billie Holliday, and many more. Movies: Walk the Line, Marie Antoinette, Before Sunrise, The Departed TV Shows: Breaking Bad, Orange is the New Black, Arrested Development
I love music and try to go to as many shows as I can. On a typical weekend I'm either out with friends, at the farmer's market, or combing my favorite vintage shops and record stores. I also love day trips, hikes and ferry rides.
I mostly read biographies and autobiographies because I love real life stories.

My friend and patient, Charles Baskerville, gave it to me before he died. He wanted me to look after it. This document was very important to him. He was very superstitious*.

The training he received from the Jesuits at school was important in his later life, although he was an atheist*. When he finished school, he returned to Edinburgh. He studied medicine at the University of Edinburgh. While he was still a student he started writing short stories. One of his stories was published when he was only nineteen. The Real Sherlock Holmes One of the professors at the University of Edinburgh was Dr Joseph Bell. He was very famous. He believed that observation, logic and analysis were very important for doctors. Sometimes Bell made deductions* about his patients' lives and jobs and his students were often very surprised at his ability. Dr Bell's observational and analytical skills inspired Conan Doyle to invent the character of Sherlock Holmes - the detective with the same great skills. Another Scottish writer who studied at Edinburgh, Robert Louis Stevenson, even recognised Dr Bell when he first read the Sherlock Holmes stories. A Medical Man When Arthur Conan Doyle qualified as a medical man, he began working as a ship's doctor. He travelled to the Arctic and West Africa. When he returned to Britain, he 74 worked in Portsmouth in southern England. He wasn't always successful as a doctor, so he often had enough time to write his stories and novels. The Works of Conan Doyle Conan Doyle wrote 56 short stories and four novels about the detective. His first Sherlock Holmes story was A Study in Scarlet (1887). Many of the short stories were published in Strand Magazine, a monthly publication. When the Hound of the Baskervilles was serialized in the magazine, it was a great success. Readers queued up outside the offices to buy the next instalment of the story! Conan Doyle wrote many other different types of books too. One of his other famous characters is a mad scientist called Professor Challenger. Holmes and Dr Watson, from the Sherlock Holmes story The Greek Interpreter (1893) Private Life Conan Doyle was married twice. His first wife, Louisa, died in 1906. The next year, he married for the second time. His second wife was called Jean. He had two children with Louisa and three with Jean. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was a very keen sportsman. He was a good footballer, cricketer and golfer. Later Life Conan Doyle's later life was very sad. His son Kingsley died of pneumonia during the First World War. His brother and two brothers-in-law also died and Conan Doyle became depressed. As a result of his depression, he became very interested in spiritualism and mediums*. He wrote "The History of Spiritualism" in 1926. He travelled all around the world promoting spiritualism. Arthur Conan Doyle died on 7th July 1930.

The Global FlyFisher - The Largest and Best Place to go for Online Fly Fishing and Fly Tying
Smart Spooler
A neat tool for rinsing, spooling and general handling of fly lines and backing.
By Martin Joergensen
GFF-rating: 4
Above average good and useful
|Prices from US$ 50.- depending on model and location.
Update 2010: The product site SmartFisher.com has closed and we can find no references to Roland or his products any more.
The Spooler is basically a large drum on which you can wind your fly line and backing or spinning line if you are so disposed. It's fitted with shafts and guides to facilitate the usage of an electrical drill and constructed in such a way that it fulfils several purposes. At the same time it's quite well thought out and produced to meet high standards, and even though it is almost entirely made of plastic, the tool feels like it will last a lifetime.
Its designer, the Belgian Roland Henrion, used to be a fishing guide in the Seychelles and during this period he saw many a fish lost due to broken backing and many a reel and line ruined by the harsh salt from the tropical water.
Of course this can be done manually, but by using the Smart Spooler and an electrical drill, the time needed for all the spooling can be drastically reduced. Even without the drill, lines wound by hand with the enclosed handle the Spooler will ensure a job quickly and well done.
I have respooled almost all of my lines and rinsed a lot of backing since I got the tool. It's a breeze to use and everything works as anticipated and all details are there for a purpose.
It comes accompanied by rubber feet and breaking pads that you mount yourself. The instructions are clear and easy to follow on all points.
The base can contain all extras included: handle, line guide and the rubber disc for reels, which makes for easy storing.
Using the reel disc takes some practise, but once you get the grip press hard seems to be one key respooling onto the reel is equally easy.
The thought of storing the lines on the spools might seem appealing, but I found two drawbacks. The spools are large and voluminous. Wound and bagged lines fill a lot less. And the spare spools are expensive. Acquiring spools for the about half dozen lines I want to change and store during a season would set me back severely. And the thought of a spool for each or just every second of my stored lines makes me shiver. To that I prefer the coiled and bagged line.
I would love to see two changes on the system, one is simple and one is a bit more complex.
First of all the hexaconical shafts on the rubber reel disc and on the main spool itself should be dimensioned so that they fit straight into the ¼" screw bit adapter that is or can be mounted on most electrical drills. I have a small Bosch IXO rechargeable screwdriver that would be perfect for the task. It has a permanent ¼" adapter compared to my AEG drill's adjustable adapter.
The shafts will fit a N° 8 pipe wrench, which is included in most wrench sets and can be mounted on a drill with and adjustable adapter. Some wrench bits even fit my ¼" screw bit.
My second wish is somewhat more complex, but also very useful. I would love to be able to take the main spool apart so that I could slide off the spooled line.
A solution could be that it was constructed in such a way that it could be collapsed just a little to decrease its diameter. That would enable me to easily slide off the line after having applied a couple of bits of wire to secure them, ready for storage. The latter solution would facilitate remounting the lines on the spool, and spooling it back on a reel. Such a spool could be supplied as an extra.
Improvements or not, this is an excellent product as it is already. The concept is good and the Smart Spooler is very well made and nicely designed.
The price is not bad, but not really inexpensive either. The prices vary depending on location because of tax rules, and US prices are lower than the European ones.
The basic kit with one spool is about €47.- or close to US$60.- in Europe. Order to the US, and you save 10 dollars. A spare spool is 22 euros and a kit with an extra spool and all accessories will set you back 75 euros in the US it's 80 dollars for the kit and 23 dollars for the spool.

Unfortunately, I understand Roland and his company are no longer in the business for the Smart Spooler. I have located in my warehouse approximately 2 dozen Smart Spoolers that are new and in their original box. Selling for $60.00 each, plus tax and shipping.

Would be nice if you included the url or website of stores where the Smart Spooler can be purchased. Is this item still available? . Google search came up empty. Would be too bad if it is no longer available. Looks like something I could really use..

Better than expected
pat from Milton, FL – Verified Buyer
This is very, very nice. First, the material is micro suede and that was an upgrade from what I was expecting, and it was easy to assemble - took us maybe 15 minutes, and, it came more quickly than we were told it would. The only issue is the supports are metal and the top end of the support is a raw cut metal. We did not want this to mark the wall so we used a piece of thin rubber (bought a cheap set of car floor mats) and wrapped it the metal piece to prevent damage to the wall. We are using this with a platform bed so attaching the headboard was a matter of making anticipated modifications to the platform. I'm pretty sure the company building this could come up with a cap for that raw end without adding too much expense to the piece - if someone brings it to their attention. All in all we are very satisfied.
Great Headboard
Diane from Sun Prairie, WI – Verified Buyer
Ordered this headboard in black for a full size bed. It was easy to attach to the bed frame and looks expensive. I was worried about the black material since we have a dog that sleeps in the bed nightly. The material does not attract hair or other material. The headboard is sturdy and the headboard height set at the lowest level is perfect. Pros: Great value, good quality, easy to attach to bed frame. Cons: Some people mentioned the metal that is exposed in the back that could scratch up walls. I just put some felt protectors on the back and it's fine.
Nice headboard but not a wall mount like the description says
Julie from Sacramento, CA – Verified Buyer– Top 1000 Reviewer
The black is nice. I think it's going to need frequent vacuuming; dust and pet hair adhere easily to the surface. The stitching across the top of the headboard is not perfectly straight but I tinkered with it and straightened it out some. The biggest disappointment is that there is a space between the top of the mattress and the bottom of the headboard, and not a lot I can do about it. I have a low profile box spring and was hoping I could wall mount this and select the height to avoid a gap. Likely a handyman could rig it to the wall if I'm willing to go through the hassle.
Great quality!
Lynda from Edmonds, WA – Verified Buyer
We ordered two twin size headboards in saddle. Love the color and quality of the microfiber. It was very easy to put together and set up. I took another reviewer's advice and put small pads on the back of the frame to keep it from marking the wall and that is working great. The only small issue is that when the beds are made you can still see the metal frame down the side. I'm trying to find a way to camouflage the legs but it is not that much of a concern either. Pros: Stylish, rich color and very easy to assemble. Cons: Metal legs exposed on the sides.
love it!
Louise from Alexandria, VA – Verified Buyer
I read all of the reviews on 4 or 5 of the headboard styles by this manufacturer and decided on this one and like the other reviewers I am thrilled with my purchase. It is really attractive and well made, thick micro suede material and looks much more expensive than what I paid for it. It arrived more quickly than expected, very well packaged, and I put it together with my bed frame, alone, in 15 minutes or less. Very good quality and looks beautiful. After a lot of deliberation between colors, I chose the oatmeal color which turned out to be a light taupe, exactly what I was hoping for!
Very lovely headboard
Kim from Brunswick, GA – Verified Buyer
Nice headboard, color and texture. The headboard couldn't be mounted to my frame, as my bed frame isn't steel. I could have tried to drill holes in my wooden frame, but I chose to have the headboard mounted on the wall above my bed and you can't tell that it's not connected to my frame. It looks really nice.
Nice looking, adds style
Michele from Beverly Hills, MI – Verified Buyer
I am very happy with this headboard. I was pleased that it was very easy to install and very sturdy. It fit my king bedframe purchased from a different company. I was also happy that it did NOT leave a large gap between the headboard and bed so that a pillow would fall through. The color is a true beige and has a nice suede-looking finish. The tufting makes a nice detail. My bedroom is very drafty and I am stuck placing the bed under the window due to the layout of the room. This headboard not only serves as a nice way to accent a bed, but it does minimize the draft coming down from the window over my head.
oh what a headboard
Sue from Wauconda, IL – Verified Buyer
The picture does not let you see just how beautiful the headboard really is. I purchased the chocolate color and it matches perfectly with my wood bedroom furniture. The headboard is plush and the material is almost like a crushed suede. The best thing is that it is easy to put together and I had it assembled in less than 15 minutes.
perfect headboard
Jennifer from Eden prairie, MN – Verified Buyer
We ordered this after having waited a year to receive fabric samples from home decorators (which we never got). This headboard is a great price and it was exactly what we wanted. Easy to assemble and attach to existing bed frame. Fabric is a great color (online images were true to actual color) and material.
Excellent Headbord, nicely made.
Anthony from London, ON – Verified Buyer
This headboard exceeded our expectation, the black cover clot material has nice chamois feel, and looks great. Assembly was easy and quick. We are satisfied. Overall great product. Pros: Great value, easy assembly and great looks. Cons: none

I dont see that being possible. The actual physical shrink of 65nm to 55nm is only ~16%, so it cant be more than that, and for Nvidia as seen by the 9800GTX+ they seem to be only getting about 12% shrink out of it. Being that the 9800GTX+ and the GTX 280 are fairly similar in design I can't imagine them getting much, if any, more out of it than the 9800 does.
The actual physical shrink would only put it at 484mm^2 which is the same size as the 8800GTX, still huge. The more realistic 12% number puts it at 506mm^2.

This add-on is not compatible with your version of Firefox because of the following:
Does the job well!
Feature request: Please add a button to "Copy Plain JSON Text to Clipboard", so that I don't have to save the JSON file just to get the plain JSON Text.
Must-have for Firefox, although I think it needs more updates! Please give us buttons useful for Text Boxes, Change Case buttons:
- lower case
- Title Case
- Sentence case
- tOGGLE cASE
I like the functionality of this add-on, and take note, I'm not using it for Math -- I'm using it like a quick Character Map.
I hacked the code a bit to force the Options Window to become bigger and show more characters in one panel. I also hacked the code so that it will show more Unicode Characters. The result is I was able to add Emoji in the easyMath panel for Facebook Comments! SCREENSHOT: http://i.imgur.com/S4Mp1CZ.png
Which leads me to make these SUGGESTIONS and FIXES:
1. Make the Options Window resizable so that it's more comfortable to browse the Unicode Characters.
2. Enable the Unicode Character Pages already. Make it useful not just for creating Math Equations, but also for Commenting on Social Networks, or composing Email with nice Unicode Dingbats and Emoji. This also will make it useful for Office Word Web or Google Docs online, because they lack a rich way to insert special characters.
3. Rename this plugin to "Easy Char Map" (consistent with easyMap and Windows Character Map Applet) or "Insert Symbol" (familiar to Microsoft Word users).
Today I got the new version of easyMath that fixed the "goes to end of line after inserting a char" issue, thank you for fixing. But I lost my hacks to the Options Window -- so I hope that my suggestions above will make it to the next version of this very useful add-on!
Thank you, and please remain great!This review is for a previous version of the add-on (126.96.36.199-signed).
Hi! I'm a Colt User and I really love the ability to Copy Link Text or Location.
Can I make a suggestion? This should make it more intuitive to pick your menus.
- Copy Link Text
- Copy Link Location
- Copy Link Text "Amazon.com Online Shopp..."
- Copy Link Location "http://www.amazon.com/"
I'd love your menus to become Intuitive as illustrated above. This eliminates misclicks among those options (I frequently misclick :-/).
So putting a preview of what we are about to copy would be very nice!
Thank you dude for making this plugin, and I look forward to improvements! :D
Excellent Add-On, but its name doesn't give it much credit!
Please change the name to "Keyword Search Context Menu"
Why? Because that's the first thing the comes to the users' mind when search for an add-on with such functionality. I bet that when you do this, more people will find your add-on on Google, and you will get more hits.
Dão Gottwald, the creator of this add-on, apparently is the same person responsible for the removal of "about:config" settings that let you customize tab widths. See for yourself: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=574654
Apparently, it's a very bad decision. We now need plugins for each about:config option removed. I am now reconsidering moving to Chome.
I like this add-on and all its intentions.
But it's so unusable because it displays all information in many popup windows.
My proposed solution is to display everything in one separate window, and each leak report is in a tab.
Also, do not make this window steal focus when a new leak report is created. It's so disruptive especially during testing.
Other than that, this extension is a must-have! It helps the Firefox ecosystem make better use of computer resources.
I like the options this extension offers, like retain the link text, but change the URL.
Please add support for http://goo.gl/ URLs!
Good, but needs this enhancement:
Do not activate the tab when I use CTRL+Click. Let me Faviconize Tabs while staying on the current page I'm reading.
Good, but needs this enhancement:
Do not activate the tab when I use CTRL+Click. Let me Faviconize Tabs while staying on the current page I'm reading.
It does what it says -- a Title Bar-Free Firefox window BUT:
- Please make the window border still look like Windows 7 Standard.
- Prevent the right mouse button to drag-move the window. It's annoying and non-standard.
- Please remove the annoying ability to move the window when I accidentally drag the empty parts of the Tab Bar and Toolbar.
Useful addon, but I hope it has the ability to import my Bookmark Keywords (cuz most of them are made of 1 to 2 letters).
In fact, make it integrate entirely with Firefox Bookmarks! It will eliminate duplication of effort in defining my shortcut keys and URLs.
Excellent add-on, this is the ultimate tool to browse pages in one window.
So useful, I already configured it to always enable on any site.
QUESTION: How can I reset the excluded sites?
This should be a Firefox default behavior!This review is for a previous version of the add-on (2.0.0).
Please fix the CookieCuller button size, it's currently bigger than the standard toolbar buttons.This review is for a previous version of the add-on (1.3.1).
I think Firefox Team should hire the guy who created this add-on.This review is for a previous version of the add-on (5.0.0).
Excellent job!
Please continue improving upon this concept, and extend blocking also to Java Applets, Silverlight, and Shockwave!
Highly Recommended Addon:
CookieCuller lets you have detailed control on which cookies you should keep, and can delete the rest of the cookies every startup. This means it will also delete those sneaky Third-Party Cookies of ads and trackers.
CookieCuller, of course has lots of things it can improve on:
First, CookieCuller should provide a bonus feature that gives Firefox a toolbar button that lets the user toggle "Accept Third-Party Cookies". Firefox has problems when that option is disabled, but if we have this button, then we don't have to go though the Options dialog enable and then re-enable it.
Next, CookieCuller should group together similar websites so that I can protect/unprotect by groups.
I hope that CookieCuller will continue to evolve into the best Cookie Manager that Firefox itself should have from day 1.
I like this extension, and I request for a "Visit Mozilla Page" command for each plugin. It could be as simple as performing this Google Search: http://www.google.com/search?btnI=I'm+Feeling+Lucky&q=site:addons.mozilla.org+Extension+Manager+ExtendedThis review is for a previous version of the add-on (2.7).

Phoenix Suns' Marcin "The Polish Hammer" Gortat lived up to his nickname Sunday versus the Spurs and the victim was Tiago Splitter. Late in the second quarter, Gortat got the ball off a pass from the top of the key and rolled to the rim and only Splitter was standing in his way. But just one man isn't enough to stop Gortat to drop "The Polish Hammer" and Splitter found out first hand. Check out Gortat with the power dunk on the Spurs' big man. [follow]

Totoro cupcakes
Tonari no Totoro (となりのトトロ) or also known as My Neighbor Totoro, is a wonderful animation movie created by the famous Miyazaki Hayao in 1988.
Have a look at these cupcakes and other foods created in the image of the Totoro character. I found these recently thanks to acatinthekitchen.com and timmaughanbooks.com.
To bring back some good old memories, here is the closing and theme song from Tonari no Totoro.
Ponyo by the Sea
Miyazaki-san and his Studio Ghibili company have recently released Ponyo by the Sea. (English language trailer and introduction for Ponyo below.)
Anyone ready to make some Ponyo cupcakes?

Also Veronica at Lyn Cargo worked very hard for me and was very professional. However none of that got my bike to Miami any quicker. I was told originally possibly Wednesday but definitely no later than Thursday. It arrived late Friday and I processed the bike at customs without ever seeing it was here at 4 PM Friday. I am not sure if this was even legit but it worked. I wasnt able to get the bike until after 7 that night and it was a hassle.
Veronica was extremely apologetic and wanted to make things right but that didnt really change my bad experience. There were also others that were very sympathetic but again it didnt put money back in my pocket or days back on the calendar. It has been an eventful and trying end to a great adventure.
There are some other guys that shipped with Lyn about a week before me. I am contacting them to see how their experience was.
I'm one of the guys who shipped out on Lyn Cargo the week before. Of all the options in Columbia, they were by far the most knowledgeable and helpful. In fact, after several days of frustration in Cartagena where we got many differing answers on shipping (even from the same company), Henry and I actually drove all the way back to Bogota to use them specifically because of Veronica and how helpful she was. When we got there, the helpfulness continued. Paying was a hassle (cash or wire transfer only - I managed to get enough cash from ATM's and the handler drove me to the banks and back with the cash). Veronica finally figured out that you could pay for the shipping with a credit card through their American branch and that was how Henry paid. They let us hang out in their office, use the internet as needed, and the printers. I'm sad to say I forget his name, but the handler (for lack of a better term) stayed with me at the airport for probably 5 hours getting my motorcycle checked in.
The headaches occurred on the US end. First off, you can't legally walk out of the Miami airport so cab ride #1 to Centurion cargo to pick up the paperwork. At this point, I was told amount of the destination fee ($40) and that they wouldn't take anything but a money order or wire transfer. I walked to the Western Union across the street and they couldn't do a money order (system down I was told). I walked from there to my hotel since it was on the way and called a cab to go to customs from there. The f*%king cab company kept saying they were just a few minutes away and kept dicking around until it was too late to make it to customs by closing.
Next morning, it's off to customs (cab ride #2) and I get my release paperwork. Cab ride #3 to a different Western Union for the money order and then from there to Centurion. Somewhere about $50 for all the cab rides.
The big hassle is paying the destination fee - they need to work something out on that.
So I give Lyn Cargo a big thumbs up
as they were WAY WAY WAY more helpful than anyone else in Columbia. Especially Veronica

More Positive News On Housing: Prices Rose For Third Straight Month
By Mark Memmott
Home prices rose in July from June by 1.5 percent in its 10-city index and 1.6 percent in the 20 major cities where it tracks changes, the latest S&P/Case-Shiller Home Price Indices report shows.
According to the report:
"For the third consecutive month, all 20 cities and both composites recorded positive monthly changes. It would have been a fourth had prices not fallen by 0.6% in Detroit back in April."
"All in all, we are more optimistic about housing. Upbeat trends continue," says economist David Blitzer, the chairman of the index committee at S&P Dow Jones Indices.

I skirt most of the rain, but get a little (it was good for a needed cool-down) as I blast down the interstate.
I find my turn and head West..
Soon I'm in Nevada (if not already) and find fuel and a candy bar for dinner..
Lots of time to be in my own head out here. Nice..
Chain needs some more lovin' and adjustment..
I ride 5 miles South to top-off the tank, then backtrack to the start of The Extraterrestrial Highway..
Those mountains are at least 20 miles away..
The reverse angle..
I'm not entirely certain what the rules of the road are, but I'm probably going to defer to the cow..
It's gotta be the aliens..
Of course, I'm doing my part...
Although there is nothing that makes riding into the light at dusk much better than bearable, light-wise when it's open range land..
I got a room at the Best Western in Tonopah and took a walk in search of vittles..
Kind of a creepy town after dark, and I didn't feel safe..
I ended up walking the other direction to the Shell station convenience store across from the motel. A couple of guys hanging around out front followed me inside, circled and one of them tried to chat me up. The guy behind the counter wouldn't take his eyes off them even while ringing me up for pop tarts and a gatorade (I paid in loose change). They followed me out and got on either side, so I ran out into the street in front of a serendipitously-timed car. It honked, they scattered and I ran back to the motel. It was not a high point of the trip.
But nothing happened so maybe I'm just reading too much into it..
Today's miles..
The road to Hell is paved...

Sworn testimony is usually a vital part of any sexual abuse case. Rarely, if ever, are such incidents caught on camera or witnessed by other people. I'm not exactly sure what "proof" people are talking about when they say they are sceptical about such cases.....if we took that to it's logical conclusion, very few sexual abuse cases would ever end up in court.

|The New Essential Classical represents a new area of innovation with Hohner guitars. These guitars are built utilizing a revolutionary technique Hohner calls Frequency Matching. Hohner's technicians utilize a form of tap tuning to determine the resonant frequencies of the woods and then match the solid Sitka spruce tops with similarly resonant mahogany backs. Combining this process with a micro thin finish produced a powerful, rich singing tone that makes even the small bodied Classical sound huge. All Hohner Essential guitars go through a 12 point inspection process at Hohner's US facility to make sure every guitar is set up to sound and play great.

The deadline to reach contract extensions for the 2009 draft class is now less than a week away. Teams have until the end of the month to either reach a new contract with their players or allow them to become restricted free agents next summer. One of the biggest names involved in these disputes is Oklahoma City Thunder guard James Harden. Harden is an interesting case because the Thunder have made it very clear that they want to keep him around, but offering him a max deal would put them over the salary cap, something OKC is trying to avoid. The Thunder may have found a loophole though. They could give Harden an incentivized contract that would reward him for his play, getting him near the same amount of money as a max deal without being penalized by the salary cap. They just have to make sure Harden's incentives are challenging enough. The NBA counts 'easy to achieve' incentives against the cap, however, incentives that are deemed hard to achieve, like making the Conference Finals or being named an All-Star do not count against the cap. This could be the loophole that gets Harden signed, simply because of how good the Thunder have been in the West. Getting a deal done for Harden would be huge for the Thunder who are looking to avoid the drama of having one of their superstars unsigned all season. OKC is surely hoping to be fully focused in their quest to return to the NBA Finals, and having Harden's future with the team up in the air could be a big distraction. If Harden is able to reach a deal with the Thunder in the next week, it will still have to be approved by the league. It will be interesting to see what type of incentives the team can get away with to make sure he gets the most amount of money possible. Image: SI.com [follow]

It's Official: Men Can't Read Women's Emotions
It's a cliché that men just don't understand women.
Now, new research suggests men really do struggle to read women's emotions — at least from their eyes.
The research, published Wednesday (April 10) in the journal PLOS ONE, showed that men had twice as much trouble deciphering women's emotions from images of their eyes compared with those of men. Parts of the male brain tied to emotion also didn't activate as strongly when the men looked at women's eyes.

The 9 Worst Summer Snacks and Treats for Kids
Healthy Snacks for Summer
Carrot sticks or ice cream sandwich? There's probably no contest from a kid's perspective. But there are ways to keep kids from constantly clamoring for less-than-healthy snacks.
"Eating at regular intervals discourages kids from grazing, which is that near-continuous nibbling or drinking, or both, throughout the day," says Sothern.
That's not to say that healthy snacks don't have their place in a child's diet. Whether you're on the road, spending the day at the beach, or hanging out in the backyard, Sothern recommends keeping healthy, low-calorie snacks on hand and doling them out in reasonable portions.
And just what constitutes a healthy snack for kids? Snacks should offer vitamins, minerals, and fiber, and should be enough to take the edge off a child's hunger, but not squelch it.
Remember that liquid calories count, too. Keep water handy to avoid buying soda, lemonade, or fruit drinks. Or, concoct a refreshing, low-sugar spritzer with equal parts 100% fruit juice and club soda.
Here are nine simple summer snacks that offer good nutrition for the calories:
- Any frozen treat under 150 calories per serving, such as fudge bars, fruit bars, "light" and "slow-churned" ice creams and sherbet (you can also freeze yogurt sold in tubes).
- Homemade frozen fruit pops made with 100% fruit juice and frozen berries.
- Fruit and yogurt parfaits: Layer low-fat vanilla yogurt with fresh fruit.
- Frozen fruit, such as chunks of watermelon, cantaloupe, and honeydew with low-fat fruit yogurt for dipping.
- Homemade smoothie made with milk, fresh fruit, and crushed ice.
- Homemade trail mix: Mix single-serve low-fat microwave popcorn with shelled pistachios and dried fruit, such as raisins or cranberries.
- Mini whole-wheat bagels spread with peanut, almond, cashew, or sunflower seed butter.
- Sliced red and green bell peppers, baby carrots, and hummus for dipping.
- Whole fresh strawberries dipped in melted dark chocolate.

This was the speech of a chastened, post-rhetorical president—in some ways a weary president.
He is not a poster boy for karmic justice and I am not alone when I say I am weary of this man.
But peering more closely at the photograph, taken this August, his weary brown eyes reveal a darker truth.
Old English werig "tired," related to worian "to wander, totter," from West Germanic *worigaz (cf. Old Saxon worig "weary," Old High German wuorag "intoxicated"), of unknown origin.
Old English wergian (intransitive), gewergian (transitive), from the source of weary (adj.). Related: Wearied; wearying.

36 year old woman | Gilroy, CA, USA | Seeking men 30-45 within 50 miles
Every single day, do something that makes your heart sing.
A perfect match for me would be a good hearted guy who is down to earth and enjoys getting out and exploring all the joys in life. Someone who is a family man and follows the golden rule:-) A little about me...this is kind of hard, how to really portray yourself in words...Well those closest to me would describe me as level headed, positive and sweet, though I can be quite a spitfire too. I definitely enjoy all things girly, but I am not afraid to get my hands dirty either. I have had a great upbringing, awesome parents that have been married for 45 years and great siblings. I am very famIly oriented and really believe in the strong bonds of family. I feel very fortunate for all that I have been blessed with in my life. I have also been through some very painful experiences that have definitely made me the person I am today. I am strong, independent and very optimistic and tend to migrate towards people with that same positivity. I love children, watching them grow and seeing their minds hard at work, not to mention all of the comic relief they provide! I grew up swimming and dancing so those are my two favorite workout activities that I tend to migrate towards. I also enjoy running and completed my first half marathon last year. Yoga is something that i started practicing in college and though I definitely wouldn't call myself a yogi, I enjoy what it does for both the body and mind. In the past couple of years I have really developed a "green thumb" and enjoy working in my garden with both flowers and veggies. I enjoy traveling and have many places that still need to be checked off my list. I was lucky to be introduced to a variety of great music growing up by both my parents and older brothers. This formed a great love of music of all sorts in me. I especially enjoy seeing live music. Let's see what else... If you are here I still have your attention.. :-) So i guess I'll throw in something along the old adage that "a way to a man's heart is through his stomach". I LOVE to cook and try new recipes, having friends over for dinner is something I do often. Finding someone that loves cooking together would be ideal.

I have been working at Boston Consulting Group full-time (More than 5 years)Doesn't RecommendNeutral OutlookDisapproves of CEODoesn't RecommendNeutral OutlookDisapproves of CEO
Very rapid learning curve, opportunity to work with top management at well-known clients, very friendly office culture (at junior levels), very smart and motivated people, and a powerful addition to your CV.
As noted elsewhere, there is a powerfully-entrenched long-hours culture and absolutely constant and overwhelming pressure on teams. The PTO process is supposed to address this, but in London at least, has resulted in no real changes to partner behaviour, and so PTO sessions really just turn into grumbling sessions that don't change expectations. The fact that the name was changed from its original "predictable time off" to "predictability, teaming and open communication" is a pretty good clue.
There is a very wide range of partner personality types. For example, judging by what consulting staff say, 3/4 of the London energy Partners have a ruthless, critical, and driving approach to teams, as do the private equity guys, while media Partners are at the other end of the scale in terms of personality and approach. Banking partners are in the middle.
Career progression can be tough, with any negative feedback or issues with individual partners magnified out of proportion. At the Principal level, one bad project can be enough to derail your career.
A lot of project approaches are very theoretical, and although what ultimately goes to clients is almost invariably of high quality, what the client sees is often a fraction of the work consultants are driven to do to satisfy partner desires for a perfect solution, rather than a practical one. With the wrong partner, case team meetings can be a nightmare.
Finally, it is important to manage your exit timing, keeping in mind that even Partners rarely stay longer than seven years. Consultant or P/L is likely to have the best mix of exit options that don't require a big fall in salary and give good industry exposure. At P or Partner level, industry options become far fewer, and often require a big drop in compensation. Do keep in mind that in contrast to McK, the BCG alumni and career services network is rudimentary, so you will be on your own when you start looking!
Advice to Management
Beware of believing your own hype! Consider significantly expanding the expert career track approach, as one key lever for breaking out of the pattern of belief that overworked generalist MBAs are the best source of value creation.

learning happens very fast, especially in the first couple of years if you start from the junior positions (i.e. Associate)
very long hours, it can get quite hierarchical and therefore demanding on your nerves
Advice to Management
Create larger teams to improve employees' work-life balance....to reduce turnover!
