Introducing a new contributor to Jets Nation - Ross Smith! Today Ross finally solves the issue of who is the Greatest Player of All Time. It's what the summer is for.
As we recline here in the lazy summer days between hockey seasons, we dedicated fans fill up the puck-shaped hole in our hearts by following the draft and the free agent signings and even pretending to care about baseball or the CFL until it's time to hit the ice again. This summer, though, offered up the 25th anniversary of an event so dramatic that it changed the NHL irrevocably: The Gretzky Trade. Its mere mention in Edmonton still yields mournful stories of lost innocence and squandered opportunity - Gretz revered and commemorated like a war hero or a precious family member. Who can blame them? He is unquestionably the best player ever to lace up a pair of skates… or is he?
This Silver Jubilee marking Peter Pocklington's transformation from mere unsavoury entrepreneur to "Wanted by The Hague" in a single craptastic business deal is the perfect time to renew Hockeydom's favourite debate about who, exactly, is the greatest player of all time.
Jets Adjusted Corsi by Forward Line: The Role of Coaching Choices

One of the challenges with measuring process-based metrics like corsi - a measure of possession and territory that correlates well with scoring chances - is that we have stats at the team level and at the individual level. It's a moving target to try to put these two levels of data into the context of a 5 on 5 game when individuals switch every 40-50 seconds at the desire of a person we don't measure. We've made huge strides - and the WOWY (With or Without You) data over at Hockey Analytics is part of that.
Another part of that was offered by Travis Yost at NHL Numbers the other week - team by team corsi according to forward tiers (Eastern Conf / Western Conf). Grouping forwards into lines by EV time on ice, Travis gives us a sense of how teams are built and shows very strong evidence that to win, teams need depth.
His methodology is sound in general - using even strength time on ice to sort out the 'tiers' of forwards - but hides an important reality about how the Jets were coached. Below we'll look at his chart for the Jets and compare it to a purposeful grouping of the forwards into approximate lines.

All this Gretzky trade talk the last week stirred up the old story machine in my head. Looking at some of the other players involved in the trade I ran across Marty McSorley's name.

We bloggers can be a serious people. But it's August. We're all sitting in hammocks with a cold beer reading Vollman's new Hockey Abstract on our tablets to avoid equally Screen Deprivation Anxiety and the chance of the sun reaching our pale, pale skin. It's a time we can relax and stand to laugh at ourselves just a little.
Which is great because let's face it, honoured readers, we bloggers sometimes pick odd players to love based on process related metrics. Just look at this great one by me on Eric Tangradi. I thought that guy might work out and felt genuine excitement about it. What a dummy.
But we're not alone! Our professional partners in print and those of the Sound-Making Media have some hilarious ideas about how hockey works and who is good at it. Where bloggers use incredulity, the mainsteam media is using hype. And we're all ridiculous!
I think readers can agree there's no better way to see our foibles than holding an All-Star game. That's right, The Kyle Wellwood's Career Memorial All-Stars face off against The Post Hoc Ergo Propter Hawks!
So relax and have a laugh at yourself. And others. (If you have a horse in this race, it's okay to laugh just a little harder at the others to keep the self-doubt at bay.)

Ah the glory days of summer when depression about one's hockey club is pure and untainted by Seasonal Affective Disorder.
On Monday we looked at the forward depth chart for the Jets, and today we address the defence. If the season started today, who would the Jets ice? We'll look at some context and possible training camp scenarios before we end with a group hug and a link to a support network.

Here's a favorite Cape chutney that's served with curries and other South African dishes such as bobotie (curried casserole) and sosaties (kebabs).
Okra is frequently used in African stews as a thickening agent, and it was African slaves who brought okra to the New World.
Groundnut or peanut soups and stews are extremely popular in the cooking Ghana and Mali in West Africa; in fact, some consider it to be the most popular of all Sunday meals. Chicken is usually the preferred meat, but we have found that a variety of meats and seafood are also used, including beef, lamb, smoked fish, and crabs.
Here's another mulled cider that contains two chiles, the mild ancho and
This pan-African soup is both cold and hot at the same time. The chiles add the heat, and it is very refreshing in hot weather. The chiles help to cool down the body. Serve it as a first course with fresh bread.
The Russians are the true inventors of pepper vodka and they flavor
There is a minor debate about whether or not this Argentinian sauce
This light, olive oil-based sauce is all you'll need to adorn that perfectly seared chunk of asado.
Use the grill to warm up these potatoes while the lamb chops are grilling.
Next up, a very summery dessert that's great for hot days when you want to cool down, but want a bit of a "Wow" factor for the guests you're serving. You could also make this with orange, lemon or lime sherbet (or a combination).

36 year old woman | Roswell, GA, USA | Seeking men 34-44 within 50 miles
Life is either a daring adventure or nothing
Well, hello there. Thanks for stopping by! Since we are both reluctantly doing the online dating thing, we might as well make the most of it, right? First of all, dating should be fun, not boring. So, here are 15 random things you should know about me: 1. My 4-yr-old and 2-yr-old boys mean the world to me. I was totally meant to be the mom of boys…dirt, bugs, Legos, sports – I love it all. 2. My faith is very important. I try to go to church every week and need a partner who challenges me to be a better person. 3. If I could pick one thing to do 24/7 (no, not that!)… I would play tennis. I play in 3 leagues and can't get enough. 4. Live music is good for the soul. I go to lots of concerts - Duran Duran is my all-time favorite. 5. I completed my first round of P90X last year and I plan to start round 2 later this year. I'd love to be with someone who is athletic and makes fitness a priority. 6. There is so much of the world that I'd like to explore. Australia, Asia and Africa are at the top of my list…oh, and that place in Tahiti with those little huts over the water. 7. I'm terrified of heights. If you are looking for someone who will bungee jump or skydive with you, please stop reading now and go on to the next profile. 8. Whether kayaking, snorkeling, skiing, swimming or sailing, I love all activities that involve water. 9. Cooking is not my favorite thing to do. I try to make healthy meals for my boys, but if it's just me, I'll gladly eat cereal for dinner. I hope you like to cook. (I'll do the dishes!) 10. I like watching sports on TV.....SEC football, college basketball, tennis, baseball. An occasional episode of the Bachelor or Real Housewives is only fair in exchange. :) 11. I always have some type of creative project underway. I've sold cake pops on Etsy, written calligraphy for weddings, built a stone fire pit by hand, published a book, and been commissioned for photography. I've also been electrocuted trying to remove tile from my kitchen. 12. My latest project is my yard. I mowed the grass for the first time ever this year. I had no idea it was so much fun. (Seriously) 13. I put jalapenos on everything. 14. I've recently taken up running. I've completed a few 5Ks and would like to complete a half marathon in the near future. Zombies, Run! is my latest favorite app. 15. I am a very independent, happy, balanced person with a successful career. I'm not looking for someone to complete me…but to complement me. If you could be that guy, email me! If not, good luck in your search!

Select Local Merchants
Natural Health CenterRead MoreYou won't find much in the way of chemicals and surgical implements at Richfield Natural Health Center, whose therapists believe that natural and preventative healthcare is the answer to most afflictions. Given their results, it's difficult to argue. They work closely with clients and their physicians, developing custom plans to help tackle issues ranging from stress to chronic pain. Through treatments such as reflexology and elemental aromatherapy, they help clients relax more effectively than squeezing a pillow or screaming into a stress ball.4028 Broadview RdRichfield, OH US
Cuyahoga Valley Scenic RailroadRead MoreIn 1880, the final fasteners and sleepers on the Valley Railway were tightened into place. It wouldn't be long before a billowing cloud of steam announced the arrival of the first train running through the Cuyahoga Valley, a territory that had served as a passageway for foot traffic for thousands of years. Over the next century, the railway contributed to the growth of commerce between Akron and Cleveland, changing ownership multiple times, and transforming from a freight train, into a passenger train, back to a freight train, and finally into a UFO. Now celebrating its 41st year of passenger-rail service, the Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad transports sightseers over the historic rails through 33,000 acres of land owned by the National Park Service. With a year-round roster of trips, including wine- and beer-tasting excursions, passengers can set forth on morning, afternoon, and evening journeys that sweep past meadowlands, pinery, and rivers and give glimpses of native wildlife, such as fox, deer, bobcat mascots, and owls.7900 Old Rockside RoadIndependence, OH US
Lake Erie Artists GalleryRead MorePaula Atwell wasn't born an artist. She didn't pursue any art form in college, instead achieving a degree in English and a minor in accounting. After logging years in standard 9–5 jobs, she had an epiphany—it was time to do something for herself. Taking this newfound motivation to action, Paula enrolled in a beading class and followed it with forays into metalsmithing, crafting, and soldering. These experiments in creativity led her to join the Lake Erie Artists co-op in 2003, where she began to show her eclectic jewelry at their booth during local festivals. When the co-op became incorporated in 2005, Paula's business world experience made her an obvious choice to lead the diverse group of artists in forming their own gallery. Today, the co-op-turned-gallery now carries hundreds of art pieces that span a range of media. Producing blown-glass sculptures and handcrafted metal jewelry and pottery, the artists each specialize in a few select media as decided during the gallery's annual game of spin-the-paintbrush. The staff at Lake Erie Artists Gallery is also a strong proponent of local business, encouraging their patrons to browse Shake Square after looking at their wares. In project-oriented classes taught by working artists, students explore jewelry and painting and leave with their handcrafted pieces.13129 Shaker Sq.Cleveland, OH US
Cleveland Museum of ArtRead MoreSince it's founding in 1913, the Cleveland Museum of Art has operated under a simple-yet lofty-mission statement: "For the benefit of all people, forever." In the spirit of that all-encompassing philosophy, the museum features works as disparate as ancient artifacts from the Classical world, lush landscapes from Dutch masters, and pieces from modern icons. Size: the museum stretches across nearly 600,000 square feet, and contains 19 galleries spotlighting 5,800 years of art from Africa, Asia, Europe, and the Americas Eye Catcher: an original cast of Auguste Rodin's Thinker sculptures, this one damaged by a pipe bomb attack in 1970?a crime for which no one was ever charged Permanent Mainstays: internationally renowned Asian, Egyptian, and Indian collections Visiting Exhibit: Yoga: The Art of Transformation, which includes Islamic divination texts, three stone yoginis from a 10th-century Chola temple, and Thomas Edison's Hindoo Fakir, the first film about an Indian subject ever produced Don't Miss: Gallery One, a digital interactive gallery that lets visitors explore works by Pablo Picasso, Auguste Rodin, and Chuck Close on the largest multi-touch microtile screen in the United States11150 East BlvdCleveland, OH US
Great Lakes Science CenterRead MoreA 150-foot wind turbine heralds the entryway of Great Lakes Science Center. Combined with a 300-foot solar canopy, the turbine supplies 6% of the museum's power but also serves another purpose: to drive home the science center's commitment to research, education, and scientific discovery. Inside the Alternative Energy exhibit, visitors can touch their fingertips to a kiosk that displays real-time and historical data on energy consumption. Or, at the Steamship William G. Mather, visitors can explore a four-story engine room that once propelled the 618-foot flagship. After exploring the lunar lander models and flight simulators of the NASA Glenn Visitor Center, visitors can track moon dust to the Omnimax Theater and absorb scientific knowledge through 11,600 watts of digital sound. In addition to presenting exhibits to more than 300,000 visitors annually, the science center leads the charge on science education. Onsite scientists organize space and curriculum for freshmen in the Cleveland metropolitan school district's inaugural STEM high school. The school teaches in a project-based learning environment where students are encouraged to delve into science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.601 Erieside AveCleveland, OH US
Glass Bubble ProjectRead MoreGlass Bubble Project's owners Mike Kaplan and Chris McGillicutty are business partners, friends, and working artists. Beginning in 1998, they repurposed their garage space into a working studio where professional artists and students create side by side, firing delicate one-of-a-kind masterpieces—and, according to Cleveland Magazine, the occasional grilled cheese sandwich—in the shop's 2,000-degree furnace. Their glass-blowing and welding classes teach adults and children to create one-of-a-kind artwork as nearby artists at work bolster creativity. Besides classes, the studio invites guests to watch their free public demonstrations and grants private studio time to artists in need and broken bottles looking for a fresh start. The shop's resident artists craft and sell sconces, chandeliers, and vases from recycled glass and repurposed metal. Nicknamed "Clevetion Glass" to simultaneously lampoon delicate Venetian glass and celebrate Cleveland's heartiness, their blend of industrial parts and elegant glasswork toughens up the décor of private residences and commercial buildings, such as the Ritz Carlton, all across the country.2421 Bridge Ave.Cleveland, OH US

Families can talk about...
Families can talk about the different ways a person's mental health can be impacted by technology. How have social networks and mobile phones changed the dynamics of communication, when what used to remain personal, like bullying on the schoolyard, no longer ends when the school-bell rings at the end of the day? Now teens can attack one another at any time of the day or night in their private space at home, via mobile devices or on the Internet free for world to see.
It's important for teens to have a place to turn to that teaches them how to constructively address these issues. Do you know anyone who has been cyberbullied? What should you do if you are a victim of cyberbullying?
Parents can talk to teens about coping mechanisms and positive ways to deal with stress.

Tsonga people
|Total population
|12,993,000 million (late 20th-century estimate)[1]
|Regions with significant populations
|Ronga, Tsonga, Tswa, Chopi, Ndau, Tonga (Moz), Tonga (Zim), Tonga (Malawi)
|Tsonga, Portuguese, English
|African Traditional Religion, Christianity
Tonga, Thonga or Tsonga people (Tsonga: Vatsonga) and languages span most of southern Africa, notable countries being South Africa, Swaziland, Mozambique, Malawi, Zambia and Zimbabwe. In these countries, there are regions where one or more languages and/or dialects are more dominant. For example, in South Africa, Tsonga people are mainly found in the Limpopo, Mpumalanga, KwaZulu-Natal and Gauteng provinces, with smaller populations in North-West and Free State. Within these provinces, there are towns and cities where they are most prevalent, although this is continually changing in the new South Africa as black people can now move freely. Most or all of southern Mozambique is inhabited by Tsonga people, variously named as Copi, Rhonga, Ndzawu, Tonga, Shangana, and Tshwa. Historically and currently the Tsonga people in Mozambique are between the Limpopo and Save rivers. Their density lowers between Save and Zambezi, where the Tsonga/Shona group of Ndau starts to dominate. The provinces are Maputo, Maputo City, Inhambane, Manica, Gaza, and Sofala.
Tswa-Ronga people and languages are: Chopi, Ndau, Ronga, Tsonga, Tonga, Tswa and Thonga.
- Chopi (Chope, Copi, Tshopi, Txopi) dialects are Copi, Khambani, Lambwe, Lenge (Lengue), Ndonge and Tonga.
- Ndau (Ndzawu, Njao, Sofala, South-East Shona) dialects are Changa (Shanga, Xanga), Danda, Dondo, Gova, Ndau, and Senji.
- Ronga (Rhonga) dialects are Kalanga, Konde, Putru, and Ssonge.
- Tsonga (aka standard or South African Tsonga) dialects are Bila (Vila), Changana (Shangaan, Shangana), Dzonga (Jonga), Gwamba (Gwapa), Hlanganu (Langanu, Nhlanganu), Hlave (Mbayi, Nkuna, Pai), Kande, Khosa, Luleke, Lubimbi, N'walungu (Ngwalungu), Nkuma, Songa, Xika, and Xonga.
- Tswa (Tshwa) dialects are Dzibi (Dzivi), Dzibi-Dzonga (Dzivi-Dzonga), Tshwa, Hlengwe (Lengwe, Lhenge), Khambani, Makwakwe-Khambani, Mandla, Ndxhonge, and Nhayi (Nyai, Nyayi).
- Tonga can be divided into Valley Tonga and Plateau Tonga, and is spoken by Ila, Iwe, Leya, Toka and Tonga people.
Tswa-Ronga dialects not considered part of the family include Pulana (Xipulana, Sepulane).
It has been said that the two dialects that unite all Tswa-Ronga languages are Nkuna and Khosa (HP Junod, Matimu ya Vatsonga).
For "language of", the various languages and dialects may use one or more of the prefixes: Bi-, Chi-, Ci-, Gi-, Ici-, Ki-, Ma-, Shee-, Shi-, Txi-, Va-, Wa-, and Xi-. For "people of", they use either "Ba-" or "Va-".
Like other Bantu people in South Africa, the Tsonga people originate from Central Africa and arrived in South Africa some 1000 years ago. Initially, the Tsonga people settled on the coastal plains of Southern Mozambique but later migrated to the Transvaal Province in South Africa during the early 1800s. Within apartheid South Africa, a Tsonga "homeland", Gazankulu, was created out of part of northern Transvaal Province (Now Limpopo Province and Eastern Transvaal (Now Mpumalanga) during the 1960s and was granted self-governing status in 1973.[2] This bantustan's economy depended largely on gold and on a small manufacturing sector.[2] However, only an estimated 500,000 people—less than half the Tsonga population of South Africa—ever lived there.[2] Many others joined township residents from other parts of South Africa around urban centres, especially Johannesburg and Pretoria.[2]
The problem with Tsonga population counts is that they don't include all Tsonga people. They are usually just counts of the Tsonga people in the Gaza Province of Mozambique and the Tsonga people in the former Gazankulu homeland of South Africa. This leaves out a great number of Tsonga people. The reason why this happens is that Tsonga people are called by so many different names: Shangani (Gaza Province, Zimbabwe and Swaziland), Ronga (Maputo Province and Maputo City), Tswa, Chopi, Tonga, Ndau, Hlengwe, and the list goes on. Also, the Tsonga (Ronga) people of northern KwaZulu-Natal (South Africa) have been reclassified as Zulu.
- Tswa-Ronga: Ronga 848,000 + Tsonga 4,954,000 + Tswa 1,549,000 = 7,351,000.
- Enter Chopi 893,000 = 8,244,000.
- Enter Ndau 2,348,000 = 10,592,000.
- Enter Tonga (Moz) 441,000 = 11,033,000.
- Enter Tonga (Zam and Zim) 1,739,000 = 12,772,000.
- Enter Tonga (Malawi) 221,000 = 12,993,000.
That sums up the Tswa-Ronga and Tonga populations in southern and eastern Africa.
The Tsonga traditional economy is based on mixed agriculture and pastoralism. Cassava is the staple; corn (maize), millet, sorghum, and other crops are also grown. Women do much of the agricultural work, although some men grow cash crops. Most Tsongas now depend on wage labour for cash, many migrating to Zimbabwe or South Africa to find work.[3]
Tsonga men traditionally attend the initiation school for circumcision called Matlala (KaMatlala) or Ngoma (a Ngomeni) after which they are regarded as men.
The Tsonga people living along the Limpopo River in South Africa have recently gained a significant amount of attention for their low-tech, lo-fi electronic dance music. Shangaan electro has been pioneered by South African producer 'Dog' (also known as Nozinja). The Tsongas are also known for a number of traditional dances such as the Mchongolo, Xigubu, Makwaya and Xibelani dance.
Traditional beliefs and healers[edit]
Like most Bantu cultures, the Shangaans have a strong acknowledgment of their ancestors, who are believed to have a considerable effect on the lives of their descendants. The traditional healers are called n'anga.[4] Legend has it that the first Tsonga diviners of the South African lowveld were a woman called Nkomo We Lwandle (Cow of the Ocean) and a man called Dunga Manzi (Stirring Waters).[4] A powerful water serpent, Nzunzu (Ndhzhundzhu), allegedly captured them and submerged them in deep waters. They did not drown, but lived underwater breathing like fish. Once their kin had slaughtered a cow for Nzunzu, they were released and emerged from the water on their knees as powerful diviners with an assortment of potent herbs for healing.[4] Nkomo We Lwandle and Dunga Manzi became famous healers and trained hundred of women and men as diviners.
Among the Tsongas, symptoms such as persistent pains, infertility and bouts of aggression can be interpreted as signs that an alien spirit has entered a person's body.[4] When this occurs, the individual will consult a n'anga to diagnose the cause of illness. If has been ascertained that the person has been called by the ancestors to become a n'anga, they will become a client of a senior diviner who will not only heal the sickness, but also invoke the spirits and train them to become diviners themselves.[4] The legend of the water serpent is re-enacted during the diviner's initiation, by ceremoniously submerging the initiates in water from which they emerge as diviners.
The kind of spirits that inhabit a person are identified by the language they speak. There are generally the Ngoni (derived from the word Nguni), the Ndau and the Malopo. The Ndau spirit possesses the descendants of the Gaza soldiers who had slain the Ndau and taken their wives.[5]
Once the spirit has been converted from hostile to benevolent forces, the spirits bestow the powers of divination and healing on the n'agna.[4]

I've had good results using 600 grit emory on a random orbit sander, on 2mm Lucite sheet plastic, available from big box hardware stores in US. It's not glass, but it's also inexpensive and easy. And the results are pretty good.
I've also done the same with the 8.5"x11" plastic fresnel sheet magnifiers, available from Staple's office supply. The reverse side is flat, and takes the emory sanding pretty good. Then orient the sanded side toward the lens, and you have a GG with built-in fresnel.

When you buy a TV stand you want a piece of furniture that fits within and compliments your personal style. Wayfair has a zillion options that will let you find the perfect flat screen TV stand for your home. When you're shopping our amazing selection be sure to consider these additional elements that are key to any TV stand purchase:
TV & Stand Size: The minimum width and depth of your TV stand is going to be determined by the TV that it will hold. Flat screen TVs are thin enough to work with just about any depth, but old CRT TVs will require a much deeper TV stand. With flat screen TVs the depth of your stand is determined by personal preference rather than requirements of the TV. Measure out the space on your wall, or compare against existing furniture to get a sense for the amount of space you want the stand to occupy.
The width of your TV stand will depend not just on the width of your TV, but also on whether you intend to display other decor on the stand, or use it as a place to set down keys or mail when you get home. At a minimum, a TV stand needs to be wider than the base of the TV -- and for flat screen TVs that base is typically quite small, much smaller than the actual TV width. Many people prefer a TV stand that is substantially wider than the total width of a TV, leaving room for decor. Keep in mind that the stated TV dimensions are measuring diagonally from corner to corner -- so a 46" TV is not actually 46" wide!
Height: The ideal height for a TV stand depends mostly on the kind of seating in the room where the TV will live, as well as the height of viewers. Low to the floor couches will call for shorter TV stands, while taller seating will need a equally tall stand. As a rule of thumb, the bottom third of the TV screen should be at eye level when viewers are seated. Also note if there will be any obstructions between seating and the screen -- tall decor on a coffee table or multiple rows of seating could necessitate a taller TV stand.
Storage: In addition to supporting your TV and looking good, TV stands often double as useful storage. The most simple TV stands usually include at least a shelf to hold a DVD player and other electronics that are typically connected to a TV. But larger TV stands can include multiple shelves to store DVD collections, cabinets to conceal electronics, or drawers and other cubbies to provide convenient storage for the living room.
Wayfair Tip!: If you're looking for a simple and basic TV stand, consider checking out Console Tables for a lower cost but still attractive TV stand option.

37 year old man | Wilmington, DE, USA | Seeking women 26-34 within 10 miles
Curious to see where this goes.
Let's see...These aren't the easiest things to write are they? I try to balance working hard with playing harder. I've grown up around Wilmington my entire life and really like the city but small town atmosphere. I consider myself an extremely honest and sincere person who doesn't lie, cheat or play games and doesn't tolerate people who do. (example..the picture of me is about 6 years old..but it's a good one and I don't think I look any different, in fact am probably in better shape now..) I'm into doing just about anything, whether it be sitting around are watching t.v. or doing a day trip to the Poconos during the winter. Or heading down to Dewey during the summer. I went to Penn State, so I love those Nittany Lions, and all Philly sports teams, but I'm not one of those obsessed fans, definitely willing to turn the TV off on game day(as long as it isn't a playoff game) and doing something fun. Also am a Flyers season ticket holder...but that isn't working out so well this season. What am I looking for? Well...someone that shares my interests, trustworthy and an overall good person.
Dining out , Movies/Videos , Music and concerts , Playing sports , Political interests , Travel/Sightseeing , Wine tasting
Baseball, Cycling, Football, Golf, Hockey, Skiing, VolleyBall, Weights / Machines
I exercise 3-4 times per week.
I have Cats
I adopted a lynx point siamese, from the Delaware Humane Association about 18 months ago. He's named Wilson (yes from Castaway) and he's a trip. I honestly think he talks more than I do, really... He's none stop.
I try to take a trip out to Colorado or Lake Tahoe every winter to ski.
family, my two nieces,
Watching the local sports teams and the Penn State Nittany Lions, Movies, the HBO/showtime/FX tv show lineup. Going to the gym, hitting up local bars, snow skiing, sailing.
On a Ken Follett kick right now, wrapping up the 4th of his books in the past six months.

Respond to Review of Loving Hut - Tampa
by NDNgirl4ever
Review: I have been a vegan for about a year now, and I just started a new job close to the Loving Hut restaurant. I was very excited to find out that it was in the area, and I finally got the chance to stop by today. The building doesn't look like much from the outside (and is ironically across from a place called "House of Meat"), but inside is a small but clean restaurant. I was there between 2-3pm, and there were 8 customers, including me, three of whom arrived at the same time I did. The owners/staff were pleasant and accomodating. They brought out water very quickly and took orders in the order that we came in. I had the Spring Rolls and a Coconut Smoothie. The orders came out fairly quickly. The food was delicious, especially with the dipping sauce! The staff was very attentive and made sure that everyone's order was right and that the water was refilled. As for the cult claims, Supreme Master TV was playing, but the volume was very low (it had subtitles), so it's easy to ignore. The owners are not preachy or pushy about their religious beliefs. They have some of Ching Hai's writings and pamphlets, some for sale and some free, but they don't push it on you. Their religion is one that preaches kindness, so don't worry. Just a note: the restaurant is in a somewhat sketchy neighborhood, but it should be fairly safe in the daytime. I'd recommend visiting for lunch. In short, I'm very glad that I have discovered Loving Hut and hope to have the opportunity to go back again many times.

Former all-state football player dies after rolling SUV between Freer, Hebbronville
CORPUS CHRISTI - A 22-year-old San Antonio man died about noon Monday after his 2000 Mitsubishi Montero flipped as he was driving in Duval County, Texas Department of Public Safety officials said.
Bradley Sam Dibrell veered right while driving south on State Highway 16, 10 miles south of Freer, according to the report. He overcorrected to the left causing the SUV to skid sideways into a ditch where it rolled and went through a barbed wire fence.
Dibrell, who was wearing a seat belt, was taken to Christus Spohn Hospital Memorial. He was pronounced dead at 2:45 p.m. by Dr. Daniel Roberts. His body was taken to the Nueces County Medical Examiner's office.
Autopsy results Tuesday attributed Dibrell's death to multiple blunt force trauma, Ric Ortiz, chief investigator said.
"He had significant head trauma and lacerations on his head," Ortiz said.
Drug and alcohol tests, which are standard in any fatal traffic collision, have been ordered. Results will take about three weeks, he said.
Trooper Ruben Soliz, who investigated the accident, could not be reached and his report did not indicate why Dibrell's SUV veered.
Dibrell was an all-state receiver for Alamo Heights' Class 4A Division I state championship team in 2006. Dibrell, who had 92 catches for 1,556 yards as a senior, went on to play at University of North Texas, catching 34 passes as a freshman in 2007. Dibrell left the program in October 2008 after starting the first four games of the season.

Orellana and the Amazon
Should the Amazon Rainforest
be saved or should the countries involved be able to
use and develop it in any way they wish?
The Amazon Rainforest provides many
important benefits to the world. Cutting down the Rainforest
offers the countries involved the chance to sell valuable
resources to help its people and reduce national debt.

I think the rainforest should be left for the animals.Poeple
have no right going and cutting down the rainforest.The rainforest
supplies a lot of our air.Animals that live in the rainforest
will soon be exctincted if we keep cutting down there homes(rainforest).

32 year old woman | New York, NY, USA | Seeking men 26-33 within 20 miles
I'm all over the map, both literally and figuratively. I grew up in Denver but decided to try Southern California out for a change. I lived in Long Beach, CA for 7 months. Nice, but not my thing, so I moved to NYC about 2 years ago. I work at one of the most visited retail stores on the planet. I love the company I work for, I love my dogs (Cornelius and Seymour), I love walking around New York, and I love to take trips (be it weekend trips upstate or vacations across the ocean). Funfacts: -I have to mini-dachshunds named Seymour and Cornelius. They are 8 years old and have traversed the country with me. -I'm learning to speak at German. At the rate I am learning, I will be fluent by the time I retire. Perfect timing, I think. -When I moved to NYC I did so with only 2 pieces of luggage to my name. I honestly don't have much more than that now, save for a piece or two of Ikea furniture. -I've been a vegetarian for 7 years. But I'm defiantly not one of 'those' vegetarians...

Riforme fiscali in Italia e struttura finanziaria delle imprese
In the last thirty years in Italy there have been many tax reforms, which affect in a different way the relationship between tax regimes and financial choices by firms. The article shows how Miller's index, which indicates the advantage of debt with respect to stock financing, has taken different values in the different tax reforms, depending on the tax favour recognized to debt. In particular, after an initial advantage of debt in the Cosciani Reform, the subsequent introduction of the tax credit has rendered the situation uncertain, depending essentially on the relationship between corporate and stockholders tax rates. The Visco Reform has tended to abolish any tax favour of debt. The Tremonti Reform, instead, aims at a tax neutrality with respect to financial decisions by firms, even if it increases the advantage of debt, which is limited by specific tax provisions, as the thin capitalization.

UPDATE: Piper Jaffray Upgrades SanDisk Corporation to Overweight, Raises PT
In a report published Friday, Piper Jaffray & Co. upgraded its rating on SanDisk Corporation (NASDAQ: SNDK) from Neutral to Overweight, and raised its price target from $35.00 to $53.00.
Piper Jaffray noted, "Our key investment thesis here is a) SNDK's non GAAP Gross Margins could expand 700bps y/y to 39.2% on improved pricing environment given tight supply resulting in modest y/y ASP decline in '13 of ~20% vs 46% this year b) Structural change amongst NAND producers in managing capacity while improving profitability and c) Benefiting from Product Mix shift next year. SNDK is even more focused on value added offerings where margins are more resilient. We expect SSD businesses will grow 20% y/y in '13, while its embedded presence at Apple secures robust unit consumption ahead. We have revised our CY12 and CY13 estimates. Our new PT of $53 is based on 15x (was 12x) CY13 EPS of $3.50. Our higher multiple reflects margin expansion and overall growth next year along with an increasing cash position."
SanDisk Corporation closed on Thursday at $42.86.

Furniture Collection Embroided With Ukranian Patterns by Yaroslav Grant
Yaroslav Galant is a designer from Kiev, founder and lead designer of the company Shimma. We recently received a press release about his latest design project, the Corian furniture collection, based on traditional Ukrainian motives. Here are more details: The design concept aimed at contributing to the modern fashion by offering renaissance of Ukrainian art traditions. Yaroslav collection could furnish the entire house, office or hotel environment, while the superior stain-resistant qualities of solid DuPont™ Corian® material could turn it into park, garden or country house outdoor furniture. The entire furniture set consists of ottomans, sofa, various coffee tables, round dining table, bed, bed side tables, screen, wardrobe, rack, chandelier, TV & entertainment system cabinets, two types of wall boards, bath tub, wash sink, 4 mirrors and benches. Bright but delicate fairy gloss of the furniture rests on gentle blend of black, white and red, the traditional colors of Ukrainian embroidery. Freshome readers, what sort of interior do you believe would be suited for this unusual furniture collection?

I really like Yaroslav Galant's design inspiration for this Corian(r) furniture collection. I haven't seen a lot of traditional Ukrainian designs but this set has a very elegant appearance. The Corian(r) wall boards really match the table and chair patterns well. Christine from DuPont.

Rescue teams at the site of the West Virginia mine explosion could be allowed underground as early as today, but early attempts to communicate with four missing miners have failed, and crews have become disheartened.
West Virginia Gov. Joe Manchin said he was "prayerful and hopeful" for a miracle that would bring the four miners out of the Upper Big Branch mine alive, but was realistic that the intense blast that killed 25 miners Monday may have been too much to overcome.
After a day of painstaking drilling, rescue teams punched through the mine early today in the first of four locations needed to vent gas. They banged on the pipes and set off a small explosion to trigger movement under the mine -- miners are trained to respond to a series of noises -- but got no response.
While the families of the missing men wait in agony, clinging to any shred of hope they can muster, the community remains stunned and angry about the loss of the rest.
Timmy Davis Jr. lost his father and two cousins in the explosion.
"He would tell us sometimes about how dangerous it was, but it didn't bother him," Davis said of his father, Timmy "Big Tim" Davis Sr.
"He just loved his job," he told "Good Morning America" today. "That's where he liked being at. If he made it out, he'd go back tomorrow."
Davis said his cousins, Cory Davis and Josh Napper, were "just good kids, trying to make a living."
Davis had driven a coal truck at the mine. But he was laid off, he said, the day of the explosion. Now, he's considering leaving his home state and starting a new life away from the mines that have employed his family for generations.
Officials believe the blast was caused by a build up of methane gas, a constant threat deep in the mine.
Stanley Stewart, who was about 300 feet underground starting his shift when the explosion hit, described it as "hurricane-force winds." The blast could be felt for miles.
"I told my friends, 'Take your time, so you don't fall.' I was trying not to panic, panic was setting in," he said. "I knew it was bad."
Once out, Stewart said, he immediately volunteered to go back in to pull his friends out but was not allowed to make the rescue attempt.
"Some of the company personnel found some people that were killed," he said, crying. "Some of those were my buddies."
Rescue workers were chased out of the mangled mine by poisonous gases early Tuesday. Officials said no one would be allowed back in until the air could be tested to ensure the rescue workers' safety.
Nearly everyone in the community surrounding Massey Energy Co.'s Upper Big Branch mine near Whitesville, W.Va., has been affected by the worst mine disaster in more than 25 years.
"I've never seen anything like it," Manchin told "Good Morning America" Tuesday.
"I don't understand why it had to happen," Janice Florence told "World News With Diane Sawyer." "I thought they had things like alarm systems and things that would go off in the mines.
"They need to be safe," she said. "I just hope they get to the bottom of this."
President Obama Tuesday asked for prayers for the men killed, their families and the rescue workers trying to find the miners still missing.
"May they rest in peace and may their families find comfort in the hard days ahead," he said from the East Room of the White House before an Easter prayer breakfast.

CBNNews.com - JERUSALEM, Israel - Senior Israel Defense Forces (IDF) officers said talk of a cease-fire before the border with Egypt is sealed and arms smuggling ended is worthless.
"A continuation of the smuggling into Gaza will defeat the purpose of a cease-fire," one defense official said.
General (ret.) Amos Gilad, head of the Diplomatic Security Bureau for the Defense Ministry, traveled to Cairo Tuesday to meet with Egyptian intelligence chief Omar Suleiman, who earlier in the week cancelled his trip to Israel for a third time, citing Israel's "lack of commitment" to the Egyptian-brokered cease-fire.
Suleiman allegedly presented Israel with a package deal giving Hamas partial control of the Rafah border crossing, Palestinian Authority (PA) forces control over two other border crossings, which would lead to lifting economic sanctions on Gaza and help restore a Hamas/Fatah unity government.
But senior officers in the IDF's General Staff said Egypt's plan rewards Hamas terrorists, who suffered a setback in the IDF's counter-terror operation at the beginning of the month.
"Hamas suffered a heavy low during the operation…Similar operations will…keep up the pressure instead of rewarding them for their Kassam rocket fire," one defense official said.
Agreeing to Egypt's proposal to place the PA's Presidential Guard at the Karni and Erez border crossings would give Hamas an opening there.
In the past, Hamas attacked Fatah forces deployed at these two border crossings.

HSBC "lift" by Grey London
Agency: Grey London
Rating: 5.0
By Loulla-Mae Eleftheriou-Smith, marketingmagazine.co.uk, Tuesday, 04 October 2011 04:00PM
Johan Lundgren, managing director, northern region, TUI, told Marketing at the ABTA Travel Convention in Palma Mallorca that the immediate marketing spend in the travel industry is "low", which puts it at a "significant disadvantage" when competing with other industries for "customers' money".
Lundgren said one of the challenges the travel industry faces with increasing marketing spend is its "high distribution and legacy costs" that curtail "funding mechanisms" for marketing activity.
He said: "There has to be a way of looking at distributing the other resources you have and to be creative and innovating in the way you communicate with customers."
Lundgren identified social media sites Facebook and Twitter as an area that TUI will invest in with its future marketing efforts, while Peter Long, chief executive, TUI, said at the Convention today.
He said: "We want to become an online driven company. We've started that journey but we've got a long way to go."

27 year old woman | Chicago, IL, USA | Seeking men 25-35 within 20 miles
Looking to have fun, meet interesting people!
I am hardworking and goal-oriented, but love to have a good time and enjoy good company. I am adventurous and am usually up for any new experience that life has to offer. I look for someone who is passionate about life and enjoys experiencing new things as well! My favorite thing to do on the weekend is to try out a new dance or yoga class, take my dogs for a long walk, check out a new (or favorite) restaurant with a friend, and have people over to try out my newest cooking creation or BBQ :) I also enjoy traveling and spend all of my summer, winter, and spring breaks traveling for some time (the perks of being in education)! I am extremely passionate about my career and have a particular passion for inner-city education. I love the population of kids that I currently work with and am looking forward to stepping into an administrative role next year where I will be able to share my passions with even more students in my school! I am fairly adventurous and can't remember ever turning down a new experience. I love going to concerts, shows, plays, etc. and am never biased when trying out a new style of music or art experience. I live for summer and can't think of anything better than going to an outdoor low-key concert with good company. I am very career focused and have been very successful thus far, but I am ready to meet someone to share my passion for new experiences and good times with!

I love my two dogs - a four year old puggle and a 8 month old boston. I also love big dogs and would absolutely have one if space allowed!
Middle of the Road
I love trying new restaurants in and around Chicago - especially tapas! I often try out new workouts at various studios in and around Chicago. My favorite places to travel are Mexico and Ireland currently
I love trying new things - new hobbies and skill-oriented activities, new foods and restaurants, learning about different cultures and people. I also love my dogs and enjoy frequent trips to the beach with them in the summer.
My weekends usually consist of a new dance or yoga class with a friend, dinner and drinks out, and a night of trying out a new recipe or grilling idea with friends. I love to try new things, but also enjoy a night in cooking and catching a movie.
I usually read books related to my career field. I am very interested in non-fiction texts to better understand people and children.
