I pesonally was inolved on this project when it first began over 5 years ago. The project engineers were Biggs Cardosa Associates Inc. Ray Schneibel was the project manager for Biggs Carboso.
This project had NO CITY OR COUNTY APPROVED PLANS AND BUILT IN VIOLATION OF THE BUILDING CODES !
Biggs Carboso perpetuated breaking the law by not doing anything to enforce the code.
I was forced to inspect this project under unsafe conditions .
I fnally quit Biggs Carboso because of their poor engineering and ethics.
A concerned citizen for those who have to live near an unapproved construction project ! Ground water will be contaminated by fertilizer and inscticide runoff. I hope the caves don't fall in .
Don't miss out on the discussion!

Love in October find love in Chi-town
Photo courtesy of the Love in October MySpace page
Minneapolis based, Swedish-bred pop band Love in October are packing their bags once again and migrating down to Chicago. Brothers Erik and Kent Widman, who spent their childhood bouncing between their parent's homes in Michigan and Sweden before migrating to Minnesota to start a band, say that they are making the move for both "practical and personal" reasons. Given the bands heavy touring schedule, it's a safe bet that they will be back before too long.
Here's a message from Erik and Kent:
Kent and I moved to Minneapolis on a whim and started this project two and a half years ago. Ever since we've been traveling the country playing shows, making music, and living our dream. At the end of the month we'll be moving to Chicago to continue our musical endeavors from there. We are making this move for practical and personal reasons. We will miss the city of Minneapolis and all the good people we've met here, but we also look towards the future with great optimism. This is not the end of the band by any means as we have plenty of music left inside of us. We'd like to thank Troy and Ryan for playing with us and being great guys.
We'll miss them.
e'd also like to thank all the fans who have come out to see us here in MPLS. It's been so much fun playing for you. This isn't the end of LiO in Minneapolis; we'll be back on tour. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
Love in October fans have one last chance to catch the boys on their home turf, the show details are in this flyer:

Police chase auto theft suspect through Ogden
Wednesday , August 06, 2014 - 8:53 PM
RIVERDALE - A suspect thought he could get away from police after it was discovered he was driving a stolen car, leading them on a chase through Ogden and injuring an officer on Wednesday, police said.
The police pursuit began after a Riverdale Police officer stopped the vehicle, which was reported stolen, at 4370 S. Weber River Drive at about 11 a.m., Lt. James Ebert said.
The suspect was uncooperative, at which point, the officer tried to get him out of the vehicle. He grabbed the suspect's arm to stop him from leaving, but became stuck and was pulled along with the car as it drove off.
The officer was dragged a short distance before he was released, but the car turned and knocked him down.
A pursuit was initiated by nearby patrol vehicles that chased the suspect vehicle northbound through Ogden on Washington Boulevard.
The suspect ended up turning onto 300 East and into the Lynn School Parking lot near 4th Street Park where he crashed into a chain link fence and abandoned the car.
A brief foot pursuit through an apartment complex ended with officers catching the suspect and arresting him.
Juan Betancourt was booked into the Weber County Jail on suspicion of assaulting a police officer, failing to stop at the command of an officer and driving a stolen vehicle.

Robert Mondavi: Vintner whose innovations in the vineyard and the cellar transformed the California wine industry
Monday 19 May 2008
Nothing about Robert Mondavi was small except his physical stature. As one of the driving forces of the 20th-century California wine industry, he was a towering figure with an influence that extended well beyond the United States.
A burning ambition to excel, combined with relentless determination and a nose for business, inspired him to success by embracing risk and innovation in the vineyards, in the cellar and in his business practices. Mondavi was a producer of both top-quality wines and reliable everyday wines and became, in later life, an evangelist for the civilising influence of wine in a society riven by fear of alcohol. In tribute to this colossus of wine, the Governor of California, Arnold Schwarzenegger, said, "It is hard to imagine anyone having more of a lasting impact on California's £20bn-a-year wine industry than Robert Mondavi."
From his boyhood, when he would find his water flavoured with it, wine was an integral part of Robert Mondavi's life. His parents Cesare and Rosa Mondavi were Italian sharecroppers from Sassoferrato in the Marche who emigrated to Hibbing, Minnesota in 1908. As Prohibition kicked in, in 1923 the family decamped from Minnesota to Lodi in California to buy grapes for the massed ranks of Italian home winemakers of the Midwest and East Coast.
Throughout "the hated Volstead Act", which lasted until 1933, the young Robert helped his father make wine at home in the basement. Nourishing an ambition to join the wine business once Prohibition ended, he studied business and chemistry, and after graduating from Stanford University aged 23, Mondavi started work at Sunnyhill, subsequently renamed Sunny St Helena Winery. "I was fortunate to find a job I loved," he claimed, "and if you find a job you love, you'll never have to work a day in your life." It was an ironic statement from a relentless workaholic.
With the acquisition of Charles Krug in 1943, one of Napa Valley's foremost wineries of the 19th century, the Mondavi family signalled a move from bulk production of dessert wines in the warm San Joaquin Valley to drier table wines in the relatively cool Napa Valley. Robert Mondavi was responsible for management and PR, his brother Peter for the winemaking side. In 1940, he met the legendary French-trained Russian winemaker at Beaulieu Vineyard, André Tchelistcheff, who, with a number of other producers, was to set up the Napa Valley Technical Group later that decade. The group's common objective was the improvement of wine quality by cutting down on yields, harvesting at the right time and improved management of the fermentation and ageing of wines. One of the Mondavi brothers' innovations was the use of stainless steel coils in wooden fermenters to achieve greater freshness and fruitiness in white wines, a practice that was to become widespread.
From the early 1950s, wine consumption grew rapidly thanks in part to the popularity of a new "sweeter style of dry wine", made specifically to suit what Mondavi called "the palate of the masses" for wines with a touch of residual sugar. At the same time, the threat of growing imports from overseas led Mondavi to suggest an association of quality producers that in turn led to the formation of the Premium Wine Producers of California in 1955. It was a seminal trip to the vineyards of Europe in 1962 that opened Mondavi's eyes to the limitations of the California wine industry of the day, and to its potential. Spurred on by ambition, he could at last start to dream of what could be: the production of complex and subtle wines in California to rival those of Bordeaux and Burgundy. Among the lessons learnt, he realised the importance of the role of oak barrels in fermentation and maturation and immediately started to import oak on his return to the United States.
After many divisive clashes with his brother Peter, Mondavi split from Charles Krug. He bought vineyards, then established the striking California mission-style Robert Mondavi Winery at Oakville in 1966, the first to be built since Louis Martini's in 1934. This marked the beginning of a new era of growth and frenetic promotion, with 69 new wineries built in Napa County between 1966 and 1979.
Convinced that cold fermentation in stainless steel would give white wines "the necessary spark and vitality", Mondavi became the first to use stainless steel, temperature-controlled tanks for fermentation in Napa Valley, developed varietal wines based on European premium grape varieties, pioneered "Fumé Blanc", an oak-aged sauvignon, in 1968, and, thanks to the use of ageing in new French oak barrels, launched the first Robert Mondavi Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon in 1971.
After running out of money, Mondavi found a partner in the Seattle brewers Rainier, enabling him to buy the historic 500-acre To-Kalon vineyard planted by Hamilton W. Crabb in the 1870s. In 1978, Mondavi bought Rainier out after receiving the spoils of victory from his long drawn-out legal battle with his brother Peter. The period of the mid-1960s to the 1970s had been one in which Mondavi's creative energies inspired a new generation of Napa winemakers of whom the writer Roy Brady wrote in 1975: "Great wine is not an accident of climate and geography. It is a creative act of men. California's greatest asset is a set of winemakers who want to make the finest wine in the world."
Drawing on the inspiration of great industry figures such as Tchelistcheff, Louis M. Martini Snr, and Maynard Amerine and Harold Olmo, professors of oenology at the University of California, Davis, Mondavi's can-do mentality and a willingness to share his vision inspired in others the confidence to realise that they too could produce wines with their own style, quality and character. He eventually expanded the vineyard holding to around 1,600 acres (650 hectares) in Napa and Carneros and in 1979 purchased a co-operative in Lodi, the Woodbridge Winery, for the production of so-called "fighting" varietal wines.
Michael, Tim and Marcia, Mondavi's children, joined him in the business in the 1970s, a turbulent emotional period for Mondavi, who divorced his devoted first wife, Marge and in 1980 married an employee, Margrit Biever. Margrit was to help him with the expansion of wine tours, tastings, seminars, chefs' programmes and, later, in his devotion to philanthropy and the arts.
Determined to prove that California wine at its best had nothing to fear from Bordeaux, Mondavi set up an audacious joint venture in 1979 with Baron Philippe de Rothschild of Mouton Rothschild. Rothschild had pulled strings to get Mouton Rothschild elevated to First Growth status in 1973, the only person ever to achieve a change to the seemingly immutable Bordeaux classification of 1855. Together, they assumed they could create California's first First Growth. The first name Rothschild came up with, Gemini, was rejected on the grounds that it was the name of the largest gay newspaper in San Francisco. Opus One was chosen instead for the grandiose winery which ended up costing $29m to build.
It achieved Mondavi's objective of raising the profile of Mondavi in particular and California wine in general, but while Opus One today commands the high prices of a classified Bordeaux château, it has arguably been superseded in the California "first growth" stakes by smaller volume boutique wines such as Harlan, Grace, Bryant Family and Screaming Eagle.
In face of the neo-prohibitionist threat which saw a sharp downturn in wine consumption in the 1980s, Mondavi developed his "Mission Program" in 1986, becoming tub thumper-in-chief for the defence of drinking wine as part of a civilised way of life. "If wine were a prescription we would prescribe two glasses with each meal because: it enhances food, it reduces stress, it encourages friendship and it kindles romance. In moderation, it helps digestion, it protects the heart, it promotes good health and it improves our disposition. However, if abused, it is unsafe, potentially dangerous and decidedly uncivilised." He was convinced that the wine industry needed to raise public awareness about the responsible use of wine as a mealtime drink of moderation but left the California Wine Institute in 1992 because he didn't feel the institute had done enough to defend wine from the new puritans.
In his eighties, Mondavi continued to create further joint ventures. He became friends and partners in a joint venture, Luce, with the Frescobaldi family in 1995, and latterly Ornellaia, in Seña in Chile with Eduardo Chadwick in 1996, in Vichon in the Languedoc, and Byron in Santa Maria Valley. Continuing expansion led Mondavi to float on the Nasdaq exchange in 1993, a move that initially backfired when the shares halved in value, but eventually enabled him to transfer the running of the company to his two sons.
In an echo of the feud with his brother Peter, family squabbles led to the demise of the family business and the sale of the winery to the global wine conglomerate Constellation in 2004. It was a huge disappointment for the intense family man, yet he remained immensely proud that he had been able not only to provide for his family but to realise his dream of elevating fine California wines to the world stage.

Italian breakfasts are different with all the cakes and sweet pastry dessert pies laid out as well as cold hard boiled eggs, dry bread, ham, cheese and 3 cereal choices. We liked the Northern Europe breakfasts much better. Not really able to take any food for lunch but we did take quite a few cakes ...

Hillstomp's bucket thumper and washboard scraper John Johnson once said, "The blues isn't really about being sad," but about using the music as a celebration, to bring yourself up and out of something. Johnson and guitarist/singer Henry Kammerer know a few things about lifting up spirits with their punk-infused, backwoods Delta blues stomp. In addition to some killer originals fueled by Kammerer's slide playing, the duo takes on R.L. Burnside and Mississippi Fred McDowell tunes with the fervor of the Clash. It's all there in its gritty and swampy glory on last year's live album, After Two but Before Five, which was recorded over two nights in Eugene, Oregon, and in the group's home town of Portland. Over those two nights, the guys took several originals and reworked them into fiery blues tunes that have absolutely nothing to do with being sad.

Singapore investment company Temasek is seeking buyers for Neptune Orient Lines, parent of ocean carrier APL, according to reports from the Wall Street Journal.
The U.S. Federal Maritime Commission has received 11 ocean transportation intermediary license applications and changes for review.
Meanwhile, maritime consultant Drewry said it believes the sale of G6 Alliance member APL's parent company Neptune Orient Lines is unlikely at this time, despite the line being a "habitual loss maker."
Meanwhile, drayage drivers at Pacific 9 Transportation continue their strike in an attempt to be reclassified as employee drivers.
The future of the Export-Import Bank is still in doubt because it depends on passage of a long-term transportation bill that is expected to pass the Senate, but which faces strong opposition in the House.
Roadrunner's CEO Mark DiBlasi said the purchase of Stagecoach Cartage will expand its trucking network in the Southwest U.S. and along the Mexican border.

Is It Really Food Poisoning?
You enjoyed every bite of the pasta alfredo, flame-grilled burger, or creme brulee but hours later you're sprinting, nonstop, to the bathroom.
After vomiting or having diarrhea, you may not be thinking kindly of the restaurant or your BBQ host, figuring you have food poisoning.

But is it really? Your upset stomach could be caused by a food intolerance or irritation -- your GI tract and creme brulee simply don't get along.
In the U.S., about 76 million people get sick each year from food-borne illnesses, and more than 300,000 are hospitalized, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Although food-related illness is often short and mild, it can sometimes be life-threatening. About 5,000 people in the U.S. die each year from food-borne illnesses.
Figuring out if food-related problems are indeed food poisoning isn't always easy, not even for doctors. Here's how to tell, and how to determine if you need medical help.
What Is Food Poisoning?
''Food poisoning is a non-medical term," says Jay Solnick, MD, professor of medicine and an infectious disease specialist at the University of California Davis School of Medicine. But it typically means bacteria in the food made you sick.
A range of organisms and toxins that can cause food poisoning, including Campylobacter, Salmonella,Shigella, E. coli 0157: H7, Listeria, and botulism.
Certain foods are considered "high risk" for food poisoning, says David Burkhart, MD, staff physician at the Indiana University Health Center in Bloomington, who has published a scientific article on the topic.
High-risk foods include: dairy products, raw seafood, raw eggs, lunch meat, undercooked meat, and poultry. "Those are some of the major foods that oftentimes will be contaminated," Burkhart says.
Symptoms of food poisoning vary, but typically include vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. Fever can occur, too. The severity of symptoms, as well as the symptoms themselves, varies.
Some people have fever, others don't, Solnick says. Abdominal pain can be mild or severe.

Ghana's mixed fortune as a dumping ground for e-waste
15 Dec 2011 15:43 GMT | Politics, Europe, France
Jacques Chirac, the former French president, has been handed a two-year suspended prison sentence after being convicted on two charges in a long-running corruption trial.
Chirac, who led France from 1995 to 2007, was found guilty of diverting public funds and abuse of trust over two cases in which prosecutors said he had paid members of his former party for municipal jobs that did not exist.
The cases dated from Chirac's time as mayor of Paris from 1977 and 1995 when he built the centre-right Gaullist party that launched his successful presidential bid.
"Jacques Chirac has breached the duty of probity required for public officials, to the detriment of the public interest of Parisians," said tribunal judge, Dominique Pauthe.
Although he himself was not in court, Chirac's daughter was present to hear the verdict, which she said was harsh.Christian Malard, a Paris-based journalist, told Al Jazeera that a two-year suspended prison sentence "is not that bad".
"If it had been two years full-time imprisonment that would have been devastating and terrible," he said.
Chirac denied the charges and his defence appeared to have been bolstered by Paris prosecutors who urged the court to drop the case against him and nine others accused in the trial.
Al Jazeera's Jacky Rowland in Paris said: "It was an unexpected result for Chirac. The judges sent a strong message, that nobody is above the law, no matter how powerful they are."
The case was the first time a former French president had faced charges in court since the trial on treason charges of Philippe Petain, the leader of France's Vichy collaborationist government during World War II.
The case against Chirac was divided into two parts: the first count involved embezzlement and breach of trust in relation to 21 bogus jobs; the second related to a charge of illegal conflict of interest concerning seven jobs.
The charge sheet alleged that Chirac was the "inventor, author and beneficiary" of a conspiracy to use public funds to "support his political influence" and serve his own "interests and ambitions, or those of his party".
Chirac benefitted from legal immunity during his 12-year presidency and could have faced up to 10 years in prison over the charges.
Several people were convicted in connection with the case in 2004, including Alain Juppe, the current foreign minister and former prime minister, who was found guilty of mishandling public funds and given a suspended sentence.

I'm sorry, says woman who dumped cat in bin
Wednesday 25 August 2010
A woman who was caught on CCTV dumping a cat in a wheelie bin said today she was "profoundly sorry" for what she described as "a split second of misjudgment".
Footage of Mary Bale throwing four-year-old tabby Lola into a bin sparked an angry online campaign, with some animal lovers calling for her death on social networking site Facebook.
It also led to an investigation by the RSPCA, which plans to interview Ms Bale later today.
In a statement released to the media this afternoon, Ms Bale, 45, said: "I want to take this opportunity to apologise profusely for the upset and distress that my actions have caused.
"I cannot explain why I did this, it is completely out of character and I certainly did not intend to cause any distress to Lola or her owners."
The bank worker, from the Stoke area of Coventry, added: "It was a split second of misjudgment that has got completely out of control.
"I am due to meet with the RSPCA and police to discuss this matter further and will co-operate fully with their investigations.
"I wish to reiterate that I am profoundly sorry for my actions and wish to resolve this matter to everyone's satisfaction as soon as possible."
Ms Bale's apology came after police revealed they were "closely monitoring" online threats to her.
Hundreds of people posted angry messages on Facebook after a clip showing Lola being thrown into the green rubbish bin was uploaded by her owners.
A spokeswoman for the social networking site said the group, entitled Death to Mary Bale, contravened Facebook's terms of use.
Some used the site to publish Ms Bale's address, while others called for her to be violently punished. One Facebook user said she should be "repeatedly head butted", while another wrote: "She should be flogged to within an inch of her life, the evil b****."
A Facebook spokeswoman said: "We can't comment on individual cases for privacy reasons but I can tell you that one group, entitled Death to Mary Bale, has been removed today."
The spokeswoman said Facebook users were encouraged to report offensive comments posted on the site, adding that moderators would remove anything deemed to be a "credible threat".
West Midlands Police described some of the group's content as "inflammatory and offensive".
A spokeswoman said: "We have monitored Facebook to assess any threat of harm to Mary Bale as part of this investigation.
"The investigation is being led by the RSPCA but obviously the other strand of this now is Mary Bale's safety and we are looking at the potential impact of these messages.
"I would not go so far as to say we are investigating death threats, that is not the situation, but we are closely monitoring these groups and messages."
She added: "There are no plans to give any kind of formal police protection but we are talking to Mary Bale about her personal safety, we are having that conversation with her, and we do want to make sure she is ok."
Lola's owners, Stephanie and Darryl Mann, of Bray's Lane in Coventry, said they were "stunned" by the reaction to the footage, taken from security cameras outside their home.
The couple urged people to let the RSPCA and the police deal with Ms Bale and "not take matters into their own hands".
In the clip, Ms Bale is seen stroking the cat before picking it up by the scruff of the neck and dumping it in the bin.
Lola, who was trapped for 15 hours, emerged unscathed and is said to be fully recovered from the ordeal.
Speaking to The Sun, Ms Bale said she noticed the cat as she was walking home from work and began stroking it.
She said: "I don't know what came over me, but I suddenly thought it would be funny to put it in the wheelie bin which was right beside me.
"I did it as a joke because I thought it would be funny. I never thought it would be trapped. I expected it to wriggle free."

It's a shame Alessandro Del Piero has already been to Westpac Stadium this season.
The Wellington Phoenix host Del Piero's Sydney FC side on Sunday and desperately need something to attract people through the gate.
Sadly, the novelty factor of having the former Italian captain in town probably won't do it and nor will the football the Phoenix played in beating A-League newcomers the Western Sydney Wanderers 1-0 yesterday.
It's no secret the the Phoenix need 10,000 punters to break even on match days. Yesterday just 5405 bothered - the worst attendance of the the season.
There's no point in the club's owners - Welnix - moaning about the weather being an impediment because, in all honesty, the miserable conditions are one of the team's greatest assets. Visiting sides, especially those with footballing pretensions, absolutely hate the place.
The inevitable gale turns the contest into a physical - rather than technical - one, which could hardly suit the Phoenix more.
The Wanderers were awful yesterday, but then they aren't a great side. Under the coaching of former Crystal Palace and Socceroos defender Tony Popovic, they're well organised, but offer virtually nothing on attack, as evidenced by the five goals they've scored in nine games.
Phoenix coach Ricki Herbert described yesterday's match as a carve up, in which his team was several goals better than the visitors. He's more than entitled to that view, even if the only goal his team scored was a cross that got blown in by the wind.
The "goal" scorer, Jeremy Brockie, did get one intended shot on target, and a header, but Vince Lia's 90th- minute strike was the only other effort that required saving.
Herbert took the All Whites to an unbeaten run at the 2010 World Cup and will probably lead the Phoenix to the A-League playoffs again this season. In retirement he will be remembered as probably the finest manager this country has seen.
In the meantime, watching the Phoenix is hardly a pleasure and you couldn't call football enthusiasts shirkers for not wanting to put themselves through it yesterday.
The record books will not identify how Herbert's teams played, just their record. The Phoenix's is good and they came into this match on the back of a win and a draw on the road.
But the paying public clearly want a bit more style to go with the substance the Phoenix have an abundance of.

Kovalev A center
a suggestion or a thaught that I always had.
why don't we convert kovalev to center. He likes to controle the puck and pass more than shooting it. (thanks pere noel)
If u had this thread before I am sorry
Of course, you do know he's a natural center, right?
That's right. He played junior as a center, and he often did in the NHL too. But most of the time in the NHL, he's playing wing because he's got the qualities to be a great winger.
I've thought the same thing. If he can take face-offs, I'd try it out.
If he can win many faceoff ... I said yes
He played centre in the Olympics a bit, didn't he?
You can edit your message to remove the ambiguity.
All that being said, an interesting comment.
Kovalev won 23 out of 47 faceoffs this year to finish with a 48.9% on the year.
Name----Faceoffs Taken------% Won--------% of Team's Faceoffs
Koivu-----1412 ----------------53.8----------------- 32.5
Dagenais------81----------------53.1-------------------- 4.0
Ryder----------17----------------52.9------------------- 0.3
Plekanec-----708 --------------50.3-------------------17.4
Murray------- 99----------------46.5---------------------4.5
Bulis-------129----------------44.2 ---------------------2.9
wow that took a long *** time for being so pointless!
Dagenais at 53.1% on faceoff? I think we finally find our big #2 center :yo:
I appreciate your post indeed.
At 48.9 % he is more effective than two of our official centers, that is Bonk and Ribeiro.
Considering that is winning percentage would increase with more practice, we could hope for a percentage higher than 50%.
So we shouldn't discard the possibility of having him play center.
Not to step in on your board, but since I saw the thread title, felt obliged:
Alexei Kovalev, in fact, was NYR's 2nd line center through the entire '94 Cup winning playoffs.
He centered Stephane Matteau and Steve Larmer. And he was solid.
For years, I've always thought he looked most comfotable in that spot, given his tremendous stickhandling and passing.
But really, Kovalev as a Centre is definitely intriguing. He's not a bad winger on defense, and with his past play as a Centre, I think he would be able to pull it off for sure. I really have no stance on this, other than that it would be interesting to see.
Maybe this is gaineys unexpected move???
move kovalev to center... lol
but seriously maybe he should have tried this against carolina after koivu went down?
Thanks for letting us know that.
I can't see Kovy playing centre anymore. Being a centre comes with more defensive responsiblities than winger, and he hasn't seemed all that interested in playing defence since he's been here.
I think his skating has deteriated quite a bit since he last played centre, and he no longer has the speed to get back or desire to play down low in his own end for any length of time.
Not A Good Idea
Kovalev would fail as a center because of his lousy defensive play. Centers often come back deep inot their own zone to help the D regain puck pocession.
Kovalev barely gets to the faceoff dots in his own zone.
Nice though, but he is not a CONSISTENT solid two player.
Wow Kovalev will backcheck :eek: I don't think so
Kovalev already does this frequently. Ribeiro will often tail off and play the winger's defensive responsibilities while Kovalev goes down low. This is partially (in my opinion) because of Kovalev's size. He was generally solid down low defensively, and he's good on the breakout.
Remember Kovalev's long-bomb pass to Bulis early on in the Carolina series, springing Bulis on the breakaway for a very nice goal? That was Kovalev playing deep in his own zone, in the center position.
My reservations about Kovalev playing center are not due to the defensive game or breakout scheme--he's proven this past season to be fine in that regard. My hesitation would be mainly that I think Kovalev's offensive game is more suited to that of a winger than a center.
He certainly did fine in the playoffs finishing in the + section for his last two runs with the Canadians.
+ & - is the most overated stat in hockey. First line players like Kovalev usually plays against the third or fourth line of the opponents, their weaker offensive units. So, it is quite normal to score more than them and get a +...
And just a reminder... This is not the CanadiAns but the CanadiEns... And it means a lot !
I like him better on the wing i dont think he has the wheels to get back on D any more like a Koivu or Higgins even
Higgins is originally a center, and would be a pretty good second line center (if the Habs cannot find a real #1 and move Koivu on the second line).

Envy on The Coast Album Stream
Not bad.
Not bad at all
I always get excited when I see "Envy" and then I see "On the Coast," and become sad.
I had never heard of them before, but I'm seeing them in concert in a while so I figured I'd check them out. I was pleasantly surprised - I really enjoy the lead singer a lot, but the other instruments are interesting as well even if they're not overly technical.
Not bad, different though. Still need to finish listening to the whole album.
It's actually really solid.
Band was alright when I listened to them a while ago, will look into this.
"I always get excited when I see 'Envy' and then I see 'On the Coast,' and become sad."
This album is likely a 4 for me. Also, pop-punk is not a great label for the band based on this album.
Didnt think much of them live. That was a while back though, so I might give this a chance.
Digging: Isis - Wavering Radiant
ryan hunter has kind of a cove reber look/feel.
great album.. it doesnt have songs as good as "Sugar Skulls" or "Mirrors" but its just as good as a whole
i wanted to see these guys with the fall of troy but i don't think i can go.... too bad
Yeah this is really good actually. Someone needs to put it in the database, I'm too lazy.
Headfirst Into the River is just as good as anything on the last album. Seeing them with Fall of Troy later, should be great
Gonna go listen to this religiously, bye.
Band is really good I don't know why people are surprised. great singer
^ agreed
Saw them with Taking Back Sunday and anberlin back in May last year, the singer is really good. He just started licking the mike in the middle of a song... lol
