A lot of players were placed on waivers over the weekend, as teams continued to move pieces around in an effort to get to the NHL's 23-man roster limit ahead of the league deadline. On Monday morning, Bob McKenzie reported that all these waived players had cleared. Except for one.
Ryan Stanton, a defenceman in the Chicago Blackhawks' system on a two-way deal that pays $550k in the big show and $100k in the little show, did not make it through. He was claimed by the Vancouver Canucks. It is a mystery as to why.
Stanton, a left-side defenceman, went undrafted, then signed with the Chicago organization back in 2010 and has spent the past four years with their AHL affiliate, the Rockford Ice Hogs. He skated in one game for the Blackhawks last season. In other words, he's a bubble player at best. Sure, he was named the Ice Hogs' most improved player in 2010-11, which is promising, I guess, but it's also incredibly odd, since he played just 4 games for them the season prior. How bad must he have been in those 4 games?
Everything about this claim is odd. The Canucks are trying to get down to the 23-man limit, and they just added a guy they can't possibly be planning to keep. They already have seven defencemen on the roster (Hamhuis, Garrison, Edler, Bieksa, Tanev, Weber, and Alberts) and John Tortorella has said a few times that he only plans to carry seven, so having eight defencemen makes little sense. Unless they were truly unimpressed with either Alberts or Weber and think a guy with no NHL experience can do a better job, I guess.
It seems more likely that the Canucks want him to strengthen the Comets' roster, where he'd be a valuable veteran presence, but if that's the case, then they're going to have to get him down there, which means putting him right back on waivers and hoping that Chicago doesn't just claim him right back.
That's one theory. Here's another: Mike Gillis had a really busy weekend, as you know, acquiring centres Zac Dalpe and Jeremy Welsh late Saturday night then re-signing Jannik Hansen to a four-year contract extension early Sunday morning. It seems likely, then, that he didn't get much sleep, and might be walking around in a bit of a haze right now. People do silly things when they're tired.
This is probably how it happened. In a somnambulistic state, Gillis was scanning the waiver wire. He saw the name Ryan Stanton. That made him think of baseball star Giancarlo Stanton, which makes him think of actor Giancarlo Esposito, which made him think of hockey great Phil Esposito. Knowing the Canucks could use another impact centre, and too groggy to realize he was knee-deep in stream-of-consciousness dissociative word association (and that it's not 1971), Gillis put in a claim on who he thought was Phil Esposito, then fell completely asleep, only to awaken now to the news that he actually claimed Ryan Stanton.
Makes sense to me, but I didn't get much sleep last night either.Tags: Him?, Ryan Stanton
Totally disagree. Gillis was clearly unimpressed with Eddie Lack's subpar performance in his last game and was obviously trying to acquire Tony Esposito to be an experienced backup for Luongo. Geez Harrison don't you ever think before you type?
I think it's more likely that Laurence Gilman was reading the waiver wire aloud, and instead of Ryan Stanton, Gillis heard "Ryan Stanchion". Given how much success the Canucks have had using stanchions to beat the Sharks in the playoffs, it was a natural choice.
This move is a setup to a slight-of-hand trick Gillis is planning.
He'll want to send several players to the Comets very soon, but they will be dangling on the waiver-wire – so Gillis wants to hide their names in a big list of other names so they sneak through un-claimed.
Same trick is used when you're buying a car and you suddenly realize the dealer added a bunch of hidden costs while you were distracted.
Maybe in his delusional sleep deprived state, Gillis through he was picking Stanchion off of waivers and remember fondly of how useful Stanchions have been for his team.
"A left-handed Stanchion might be the defensive partner Kevin Bieksa needed all along!"
Gillis mis-read Ryan Stanton as former Canuck Ryan Shannon and Tortorella demanded he claimed him since Shannon was good at blocking shots back in the day (and nothing else, really).
My actual, non-sarcastic guess is that they claimed him to send down to Utica to stock the farm and aren't particularly concerned that he might get claimed on waivers when they send him down.
Well, he was a black ace for Chicago during the playoffs, and Chicago did win the Stanley cup. It was just unfortunate for him that Chicago could not keep him because they already have top D men. The fact that he was a black ace must mean something good right? He must be an ok hockey player to have been called up in the first place. And while he is out making a nice pay check, playing in the big leagues you are at home sucking on your mommas tit.
Are all of you Canuck fans idiots? Stanton is a great player! Has anyone here actually seen him on the ice? He has a very bright future ahead of him with whatever team is lucky enough to have him. This article is just plain rude and based on an outright ridiculous "theory".
I take it NHL GM's have scouts at AHL games, right?
They must of been eyeing him for awhile to jump at a waiver claim?
His stats seems decent for AHL numbers, and if you can save the hassle of working out a contract with some free agent and add to your depth on your rosters, I suppose there's no harm in trying. He did end up picking up an assist and is a plus player with having played the Canucks first 3 games, so that kid must being doing something right.
However Gillis does seem to be a bit of an odd ball GM. I can't see him lasting much longer unless this team kicks ass in the west and battles deep in the playoffs? I can't see it now, but it is still early. My Oils are off to a shaky start, still hope for them. But, best chance for a Canadian team this year, as much as don't want to post it, The Leafs! :p

FleishmanGarcia Architects.
Over the last 20 years, I have had the pleasure of working with John Faour and his staff, especially Gary Skukalek, in several unusual and challenging glass installations. During our design phases, they have always provided us with valuable technical advice for our glass details, suggestions on glass products and engineered glass systems.
However, where they really stand out is in the quality of their glass installation. We can always count on Faour Glass Technologies to provide the highest level of craftsmanship, whether it is a 15′ tall bent glass installation or a frameless shower enclosure. This architect is not easily satisfied; I only let one glass company work at my home and that's Faour Glass Technologies.
Sol Fleischman, Jr. AIA
J.O. DeLotto and Sons, Inc.
Extraordinary design, capability, quality, dependability and service. These are words that come to mind in describing Faour Glass Technologies. Faour Glass Technologies has had a longstanding, professional relationship with our organization.
Wayne J. Fernandez, Vice President
Guy Peterson Office for Architecture.
Faour Glass is a distinctive company that represents the type of business you see less and less of today – one that truly cares about the quality of their work and their service. They provide valuable service to the architect by the way they interact with you from the very beginning to the final stages of a project. Their team of people is well trained, innovative, and always looks for a way to say, "Yes, we can do that!"
They are a full service firm that has the capability to provide design, engineering, fabrication and quality installation. I would recommend Faour Glass to those who are looking for a professional, forward thinking and dependable company to handle all their exterior and interior glazing needs.
Chancey Interior Design, Inc.
Over the last 18 years it has been a wonderful experience working with Faour Glass. They are the most professional, innovative and service oriented glass house we have used. Our projects range from custom single-family homes to multi-level high-rise residential dwellings, as well as medical and hospitality type facilities.
Faour Glass has always been our first choice in glass and mirror needs. They fulfill the different challenges each job requires in design and fabrication while completing jobs in a timely manner. We are happy to recommend Faour Glass to all our clients.
Sandra B. Chancey, ASID
Monogram Builders, Inc.
It is my pleasure to recommend the services of Faour Glass Technologies. During the past eight years, I have had the pleasure to work with Faour on a number of our projects and they have always exceeded my expectations. There are many Glass companies around but very few can provide the specialized services for the complex / nearly impossible projects that Faour can.
I have never been disappointed with Faour's service or attention to detail John, Angelo, Gary, Gavin, Aquilla and the rest of the Faour team has always been a pleasure to deal with and I look forward to working with them in the future on many more successful projects.

I know there was some trepidation on my part when selecting you for Oxford Exchange, and I know I sent an email expressing this, but I want you to know that your performance on the job was excellent. The whole experience was and continues to be a complete pleasure. Any time there was a bump in the road we overcame it as a team.
Your organization was more than just a subcontractor, you were a true partner the whole way. From top to bottom your people performed at a high level. With Paul leading the way in the field, you never wavered and in the face of an impossible schedule, you never said "Can't be done."

I truly appreciate their collaborative spirit and enjoy working with them to provide a quality project for each of our clients.

Get ready for a brand new comedy with We're The Millers. This new movie stars Jennifer Aniston, Emma Roberts, Jason Sudeikis and Will Poulter. This hilarious film is about a small time pot dealer David (Sudeikis) who creates a fake family as a way to smuggle two metric tons of pot from Mexico to Colorado. To make his plan successful he must work with the cynical stripper Rose (Aniston) as his wife, Casey (Roberts) a runaway and a geeky kid Kenny (Poulter) as his kids. The hilarious plan goes to mayhem as these people try to act like a normal family. We're The Millers is going to be shown in cinemas on August 9th 2013. Check out the article below:
"Jennifer Aniston in A New Hilarious Film, We're The Millers
Can we all just agree that Jennifer Aniston has a great body? Not just for a 44 year old mind you, but a great body period? I think if she knew we were all in agreement she might stop relying on the need to expose it in movies and instead focus on finding smart scripts with interesting characters.
Not that I'm making any kind of premature judgement on her latest film, We're the Millers, based on the brand new red band trailer below.
Jason Sudeikis stars as a drug dealer who agrees to smuggle a smidge of pot across the border from Mexico for a very wealthy man (Ed Helms). The plan is simple. Rent a wife, two children, and an RV, and then avoid border suspicion by looking like nothing more than a happy family on vacation. Aniston plays a stripper he hires as his wife, and Emma Roberts and Will Poulter play their lovable children. The rest of the cast includes Nick Offerman, Kathryn Hahn, Thomas Lennon and Tomer Sisley.
I'll be honest. I laughed at the Orca gag.
On the bright side it's pretty cool to see the kid from Son of Rambow all grown up right? And the lead from the recent French thriller, Sleepless Night? And Offerman and Hahn are always fun to watch too don't you think? Right? Hello?!
The film is the long-overdue return to comedy for director Rawson Marshall Thurber. His last full-blown laugh fest was 2004′s Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story which found chuckles in everyone's favorite gym class activity, so we know he can make at least somewhat funny movies. And to be fair the trailer induces a few smiles, but it seems a bit over reliant on Aniston's body in its efforts to sell the film. Best case, it's funny and sexy. Worst case, Aniston has an audition reel ready to send to J.J. Abrams for Star Trek 3.
We're the Millers ride into theaters on August 9th, 2013"
The original article can be read at Film School Rejects by clicking here.
We're The Millers is definitely earning a lot of buzz due to its raunchy comedy and of course a chance to see Jennifer Aniston in a whole new light. We're The Millers is directed by Rawson Marshall Thurber.

Dispatch deal with Yarmouth adds jobs to Falmouth Police Department
FALMOUTH — Emergency services are about to undergo some major changes.
The Police Department is in the process of adding six new employees – a significant increase for a team of 17 sworn officers.
The hirings come after three long-time members of the department retired and resigned, one patrol position was added into the budget mid-year last year, and two positions were added to cover the anticipated merger of Yarmouth and North Yarmouth dispatch services with Falmouth.
Officials from North Yarmouth, Yarmouth and Falmouth are working on the final details of the dispatch merger, which could bring two of Yarmouth's dispatchers to the Falmouth office.
The deal would have North Yarmouth paying $20,000 and Yarmouth paying $137,000.
The Yarmouth Town Council voted two years ago to utilize dispatch service from Cumberland County, but a citizen petition stopped the move before it could be finalized. Eliminating local dispatch would save Yarmouth approximately $200,000 per year after the first year of initial set-up costs, regardless of whether the town goes through Falmouth or the county.
"Either option was available at about the same price," Yarmouth Town Manager Nat Tupper said. "The (police and fire) chiefs were far more supportive of going through Falmouth."
Tupper explained that the initial set-up costs of approximately $123,000 would include equipment purchases and severance payments to employees. He said programs like Project Reassurance, where elderly members of the community call each morning to check in, will continue after the move.
Falmouth will hire two additional dispatchers, possibly from Yarmouth, to handle the increased workload. The two positions will cost the town $100,000, which means Falmouth will see $57,000 in revenue from the project.
"We'll have two dispatchers in the office (during the day), which we will see as a benefit," Falmouth Fire Chief Howard Rice said.
Currently, Falmouth dispatch has only one dispatcher on at a time. If a dispatcher is handling several calls and checking people into the office, callers can find hold times are increased.
While a date for the consolidation has not yet been made official, Tupper said he expects it to happen in mid-to-late May.
At the Falmouth Police Department, Lt. John Kilbride said the new hires will be appreciated.
"We've been running with minimum staff," Kilbride said, noting that short staffing means the department had had to rely on officers working overtime to cover shifts.
"It's not ideal. You don't want someone tired when you call them in for a shift," he said.
In addition to the overtime, both Kilbride and Police Chief Edward Tolan have been filling in on patrols. Kilbride said he enjoys the opportunity to get out on the road, but that he will be relieved when the new staff comes on.
"We've had to deny vacations," he said. "You just don't like to do that."
Kilbride estimated it will be one year from the day of advertising the positions until the patrol officers are on the road. The lengthy process is partly due to training, but is also due to substantial background checks and psychological testing potential employees must undergo before hitting the streets.
The patrol officer positions were recently advertised and, Kilbride said, the process of hiring has begun.

Doughtie: The Longest One Hole Of Golf Ever
Wednesday May 21
ALBUQUERQUE - Wednesday's second round was crazy. It was bad enough to try to fill my morning since I didn't tee off until 2 pm, but not five minutes into warming up for my round, play was suspended. This is the first time I have ever played in a tournament that was suspended for wind, but I have also never been on a course in wind like we had today.
I was told by a friend who plays for another team that a few pins blew out of the cups. The wind also blew over bathrooms on the course. After a two-hour delay I finally teed off at 4 pm. After our first hole we had to wait on the tee box at No. 2 because the group in front of us had yet to tee off. One of the players could not address her ball to hit her tee shot on the par-three because the wind was so strong she could not stand up. We found out later the winds were over 40 mph sustained at times and had gusts over 50 mph!!
What made the wind even worse than just the difficulty is that we are in the desert so sand and pebbles are floating with the wind. Let me tell you sand blasting' HURTS. I took my towel and put it around my legs while standing there because the sand hurt so badly when it hits your skin going that fast.
So I spent over five hours at the golf course today and all I accomplished was completing one hole.
Well, I have to restart tomorrow at 7 am on Thursday so I need to hit the sack. We will play as many holes as we can get in tomorrow, but they are calling for strong winds again tomorrow along with the chance of thunderstorms so we could see a lot more of the clubhouse.
Whoop, Whoop LD Out.

All children four years through first grade will be in one of our multi-age Spirit Play groups. These children are assigned to a particular Spirit Play group; they participate in classes following the first portion of our service, which they attend with their families
We are so happy to welcome your child into the exciting world of Spirit Play! If you are not already familiar with this exciting Montessori-based approach to religious education, you may find this basic information helpful!
Spirit Play is a Unitarian Universalist adaptation of the Godly Play and Montessori Methods developed by Nita Penfold D.Min., Rev. Ralph Roberts, and Beverly Leute Bruce. It was first tested at the Winchester and Milton UU churches. A number of other churches are now using the adaptation.
We see the purpose of religious education as helping children in living into their own answers to the existential questions, as in Jerome Berryman's work:
We use the Montessori approach and Berryman's morning-as-worship approach for the structure of the morning. As in Montessori, the key elements are the classroom environment and the teachers. These elements free the children to work at their own pace on their own issues.
Stories have been developed in the following categories using current children's literature, myths, and religious stories that cover answers from various sources to the existential questions above.Each set of stories is color-coded or symbol-coded to the shelf for easy access and return.
Unitarian Universalist Focal Shelves: Lessons pertaining to our central story of agreeing to live in community and right relationship, including our central symbol, the Flaming Chalice, church history, UU history and UU figures.
Promises: Lesson pertaining to our principles and stories illustrating each principle.
Sources: Lessons pertaining to the sources of our principles and our faith, including Judeo-Christian stories from Godly Play. On the top shelf will be pitchers with the symbols of the sources on them, including UU. The pitcher used for the feast juice will be one relating to the story of the day.
Stories of the Mystery: Stories relating to the Mystery that some people call God.
Beginnings and Endings: Stories from all cultures and science telling of our beginnings and what might happen when we die, including concepts of heaven and hell, and reincarnation.These shelves will include materials on the Universe Story and the story of Earth. Sacred Places: Table containing a Jerusalem Temple, and other sets of blocks representing those spaces religions hold sacred, including a labyrinth.
Art Shelves: Contains materials for art responses including paint, clay, paper, crayons, markers, glue sticks, templates for UU and source symbols, and easels.
Cleaning Supplies Shelf and Snack Preparation Shelf: Child-size materials for clean-up and snack preparation.There is also a hand-washing station, and a station for clean-up from painting.
Church Corner: Model your sanctuary space with an altar table, lectern, and those materials needed for ceremonies at your church including child dedications, coming of age, marriage or union, memorial services, flower communion, water ceremony, etc.

- "Something Has Started": Michael Moore on the Occupy Wall St. Protests That Could Spark a Movement
Oscar-winning filmmaker, best-selling author,and provocateur laureate Michael Moore joins us for the hour. One of the world's most acclaimed - and notorious - independent filmmakers and rabble-rousers, his documentary films include Roger and Me; Bowling for Columbine for which he won the Academy Award, Fahrenheit 9/11, SICKO; and Capitalism: A Love Story. In the first part of our interview, Moore talks about the growing "Occupy Wall Street" protests in Lower Manhattan, which he visited on Monday night. "This is literally an uprising of people who have had it," Moore says. "It has already started to spread across the country in other cities. It will continue to spread. ... It will be tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands of people ... Their work ahead is not as difficult as other movements in the past ... The majority of Americans are really upset at Wall Street ... So you have already got an army of Americans who are just waiting for somebody to do something, and something has started."
- "Here Comes Trouble": Michael Moore Tells The Formative Tales Behind His Filmmaking, Rabble-Rousing
For more than two decades, Michael Moore has been one of the most politically active, provocative and successful documentary filmmakers in the business. We talk to Moore about his new memoir, "Here Comes Trouble: Stories from My Life," which comprises 20 biographic vignettes that capture how his political and sociological viewpoints developed. He also discusses the numerous attacks and death threats he received after speaking out against former President George W. Bush, after winning a 2003 Academy Award for his film, Bowling for Columbine. He first discussed these fears and necessity to hire a security team on Democracy Now! last year, which ultimately encouraged him to write publicly about these incidents in his memoir.

Sauteed chicken kebabs are more tender and juicy than the grilled ones on skewers that are served in kebab houses. Accompany these with tomato pilaf and a quick cucumber-and-yogurt salad. The dark, wine-red spice called sumac lends a sharp lemony taste to the chicken.–Claudia Roden
Chicken with Tomato Pilaf Recipe
- Quick Glance
- Serves 4
- For the tomato pilaf
- 1 1/2 cups basmati or long-grain rice
- 1 pound ripe tomatoes, peeled
- 1 chicken bouillon cube
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- Salt and black pepper
- 4 tablespoons butter, cut in small pieces
- For the chicken
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken pieces, breasts or thighs
- 1 tablespoon sunflower oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- Salt and black pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley
- For the garnish
- 1 lemon, quartered; or sumac
- Make the pilaf
- 1. If using basmati, wash the rice by pouring cold water over it in a bowl, stir well, and leave to soak for a few minutes, then strain and rinse under cold water. If using a another long-grain rice, prepare according to package directions.
- 2. Quarter the tomatoes, remove the hard white bits near the stem end, then liquefy the tomatoes in the food processor. Measure the resulting tomato juice and add enough water to make it up to 2 2/3 cups. Pour it into a pan, add the crumbled stock cube, the sugar, and a little salt and pepper, and bring to the boil.
- 3. Add the rice and stir well. Simmer, covered, over low heat, for 18 to 20 minutes, until the rice is tender and the liquid absorbed. (Some brands that claim not to be parboiled or precooked now take as little as 8 to 10 minutes, so read the information on the package.) Do not stir during the cooking, but add a little extra water if it becomes too dry. Fold in the butter pieces. Taste and add salt and pepper if necessary.
- Make the chicken
- 4. While the rice is cooking, cut the chicken into 1 1/2-inch pieces. Heat the oil and butter in a skillet and saute the chicken for 6 to 8 minutes, until lightly browned, adding salt and pepper, turning the pieces over once.
- 5. Sprinkle the chicken with parsley and serve with lemon quarters or with sumac to sprinkle over, accompanied by the rice.

Dr. William (Bill) Bender
Pennsylvania, United States
Phillips seedling
open pollinated
Both Seed and Pollen fertile
4 times as seed, 4 times as pollen

My mini poodle pukes in the car and we have a 1700 mile trip coming up..are there any meds we can give him? Any tips?
Single, student mama to 3 boys
My MIL would give their golden chamomile. I googled homeopathic remedies for anxiety and found this page.
Hope this helps!
There is a medication called Cerenia that your vet can prescribe. Our new puppy gets sick every time she rides in the car, and we have a 450 mile trip coming up at the end of May. My cousin has a masters in veterinary medicine and she suggested the same med. It lasts for 24 hours, so for us one pill each way would work. It's prescribed based on weight, so just have your vet weigh your dog and then they should be able to give him/her the right dose. ;) Good luck and have a safe trip!! :)

NC firefighters respond to growing number of medical calls
In North Charleston, medical calls have quadrupled in five years
By David Slade
Post & Courier
CHARLESTON, N.C. — We call them firefighters, but at fire departments across the area, the majority of emergency calls they now answer are for medical assistance.
In large urban departments across the Lowcountry and at smaller rural ones like the St. John's Fire District, medical calls have been growing fast due to a growing, aging population, changes in emergency dispatching, and a lack of preventive medical care among patients, fire officials say.
Full story: NC firefighters respond to growing number of medical calls

I should very likely be in Bangkok during that time. Actually never been to Chiang Mai, but I could make the trip cheap and meet up for drinks -I'm a complete JuJitsu noob but would buy your drinks for you later just for the opportunity to roll and learn basics from someone.

The circuit is straight forward. The 10k LIN variable resistor is at the ends connected to the + and - so that the PIC input can cover the full range. This because the AD routine can only convert a voltage. So whatever you want to measure the resistance of it has to be connected in such a way that it acts as a voltage divider.
Here's a clever design idea lifted from the pages of Electronic Design. Stephen Woodward has designed a circuit that allows one pot to adjust two channels.
How to use the PC to connect to a Nutchip in order to read a remote control, to sense a smart-card, to enable outputs or to read inputs? Here are serial communication secrets, from the protocol to a working example. Source code is provided.
A circuit that limits the rate of change of a signal; a feature of this design is that the positive and negative rates can be different.
The easiest way is to use resistors. A two way matching network uses a 43.3 ohm and 86.6ohm resistors

Publisher:Amer Media
Experience one of the most important non-fiction works of the twentieth century with this all new unabridged audio recording of The Creature from Jekyll Island. Read by audiobook veteran, Mark Bramhall, this 20 disc audio CD edition unravels the mystery of money and banking.
Where does money come from? Where does it go? Who makes it? The money magicians' secrets are unveiled.

Oaklawn Park: Canticle gets first shot at two turns
HOT SPRINGS, Ark. – Canticle will be making her two-turn debut in Friday's ninth race at Oaklawn, and if the 3-year-old filly gets the trip, she could become a candidate for next month's $75,000 Instant Racing, trainer Chris Hartman said.
The ninth race is one of two $62,500 optional claimers on the card for 3-year-old fillies. It will be run over 1 1/16 miles, while the other race, the eighth, is at six furlongs.
Canticle won a maiden special weight at 5 1/2 furlongs at Oaklawn in her last start Jan. 31. She won by 4 1/2 lengths, and the Beyer Speed Figure of 72 that she earned is the best career number in Friday's field. The win came at a distance that figures to prove less than optimum for Canticle.
"I think she's going to handle the two turns perfectly fine . . . it may really be her game," Hartman said.
Canticle is a daughter of Unbridled's Song, who won the Breeders' Cup Juvenile, the Florida Derby, and the Wood Memorial. Her dam, the unraced Palais Versailles, is a half-sister to George Vancouver, winner of last year's Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf, and Saarland, winner of the 2001 Remsen.
Canticle will break from post 7, under jockey Cliff Berry.
"If she'll take the two turns, the Instant Racing would probably be a good spot for her," Hartman said of the one-mile stakes at Oaklawn on April 12.
Canticle races for Craig Drago.
Also set to start is Kay Ellen. She is proven at two turns, having won her debut at the trip in a maiden special weight at Sam Houston in her last start Jan. 20. Kay Ellen drew clear by six lengths for owner-breeder Stonestreet Stables and trainer Steve Asmussen. She is a daughter of Tiznow, while her dam, River's Prayer, was the 2007 winner of the Grade 1 Princess Rooney. Robby Albarado has the mount from post 8.
In the eighth, Asmussen will send out leading contender Regal Joanne for Zayat Stables. She was a troubled third last out, and Friday's start will be her third since her Saratoga debut in July.

ALBANY, N.Y. – Senior Amy Keding (Northbrook, Ill.) posted a team-high 16 kills and added 16 digs for the double-double, but the University of New Hampshire volleyball team ended the 2011 season with a 3-1 loss to Stony Brook University in the semifinals of the America East Championship held at Albany's University Gymnasium.
Second-seeded UNH closes out the 2011 campaign at 10-20 overall, while third-seeded Stony Brook improves to 15-12 overall and advances to the conference championship title match, facing the winner of the other semifinal match between top-seeded Albany and fourth-seeded UMBC. Set scores in the match were 23-25, 22-25, 25-22 and 19-25.
In addition to Keding, sophomore Morgan Thatcher (Brockton, Mass.) also registered double-digit kills with 10, while junior Jansan Falcusan (Plymouth, Mich.) paced all players with 38 assists and added 14 digs for the double-double performance. Freshman Sam Henke (Millersville, Md.) recorded a team-high 17 digs and a match-high four service aces, while senior Lauren Laquerre (Concord, N.H.) and junior Jessie Schnepp (East Longmeadow, Mass.) posted double-digit digs with 14 and 11, respectively.
In the first set, the teams were tightly contested until Stony Brook broke a 12-12 tie with a 6-1 run for the 18-13 advantage. The Wildcats would pull within four at 20-16 and then back-to-back kills by sophomore Destiny Tolliver (Rochester, Mich.) sparked four straight to even the score at 20 apiece. Still tied at 23-23, the Seawolves ended the stanza with consecutive kills to claim the 25-23 victory.
In the second set, the teams were once again evenly matched early on at 8-8, before Stony Brook netted four straight to take the lead at 12-8. Stony Brook held a slim lead throughout the remainder of the match, paving the way for a 24-20 lead at set point. UNH managed to rattle off consecutive kills to pull within two, but could not complete the comeback as the Seawolves took the set, 25-22, for the 2-0 lead.
Despite the 2-0 deficit in the match, New Hampshire fought back to claim the third set by a 25-22 decision. Stony Brook jumped out to a 14-9 lead, but the Wildcats responded with an 8-1 stretch, headlined by three service aces by Henke, to pull ahead at 17-15. After the Seawolves battled back to even the score at 20-20, the Wildcats answered with three straight, capped of by a kill by Thatcher for the 23-20 lead. Stony Brook trimmed the lead to two at 24-22 but it would not be enough as Laquerre sealed the win with a kill for the 25-22 victory.
In the fourth set, the teams were all knotted up at 15-15 before the Seawolves scored four straight for the 19-15 advantage, a lead they would not relinquish during the remainder of the set. The Wildcats pulled within two at 20-18 on a kill by Laquerre, but could not even the score as Stony Brook captured the stanza at 25-19 for the 3-1 victory.
The match was the final go-around for seniors Keding, Laquerre and Jessy Dick (Lethbridge, Alberta).

Elissa Renouf's Story
Thank you for visiting our website. I would like to share with you my story of the challenges I face every day in the hope it may bring a better understanding of diabetes, explain the help and support you can seek and, above all, make the management of your life that little bit easier.
On the surface, we are a typical Australian family with five beautiful, happy, healthy and well-loved children. Delving further, you will realise that our lives are a little more complicated than others. However, we have never lost our determination to live as normally as possible - even though we must constantly deal with the on-going health issues that have been handed to us.
It's out of this determination that Diabete-ezy was born. In helping my sons manage their health, I saw a great need for convenient, user friendly products to assist people to better manage diabetes.
About Me
I have five beautiful children - four boys and a girl, aged between 21 and 13. I grew up on a 620-hectare farm about 10 minutes outside the small town of Murgon which is about 240km north west of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia . I left high school in Year 11 to start a hairdressing apprenticeship. In 1988, I transferred my apprenticeship to a Brisbane salon, got married at 19 and lived in the city suburbs for the next seven years. My enduring love for the country and animals led my family to purchase a 16 hectare property in Samford, about 30 minutes from Brisbane, where we have lived for the past 19 years. On the property, I breed Belted Galloway Cattle and Suffolk Sheep. I also have a camel, donkey, goat, alpaca, chooks, ducks, geese, swans, pheasants, three dogs and a cat!
Charlie Is Diagnosed - 2002
Steve and I had another two children – Charlie, born in 1999, and Freddie, born in 2001. All the children were very happy and healthy until May 2002. Just after Charlie's third birthday, he asked me to fill a drink bottle with water one night when he was going to bed,. First thing the next morning, he asked for it to be filled again. As we had tested the children on Steven's blood glucose meter every now and then and they were all fine, I was not really alarmed. However, to be sure I asked him if I could test him on his father's meter but he refused. Not wanting to cause an upset, I decided I would test him that night when he was asleep. When I did, his level was an alarming 21mml. I phoned the hospital and they asked for him to be taken in immediately and by next morning he was started on insulin injections. Lucky for us we had enough knowledge about diabetes to be able to recognise the early signs before Charlie become very ill.
Charlie accepted his daily routine of seven finger prick tests and up to five insulin injections (plus everything that goes with having diabetes) very well. We put this down to the fact that he had always seen his father do the same thing, so it wasn't as scary as it is for children who have never seen the needles before.
A Double Wammie - 2003
By early January 2003, everything under control with Charlie's diabetes, but then we noticed Billy - who was 8½-years-old at the time - was also showing signs. I tested him all that day and by afternoon knew that he too had developed Type 1 Diabetes. He accepted this very well as he already understood a lot about diabetes because of Charlie. Billy was also diagnosed with Coeliac Disease in May, 2003, which means he can't have any foods that contain gluten e.g. wheat, oats, barley, rye and malt.
The Hat-Trick - 2004
Over the next few months, I began to notice two-year-old Freddie (our youngest child) having mood changes so tested him every now and then. Then in October, 2003, Freddie started showing very early but definite signs of diabetes. This was a particularly difficult time, as Freddie was still producing insulin but it was slowly decreasing. I was immensely frustrated - why couldn't I stop this from happening?
By March, 2004, Freddie also started on insulin injections - just two months before his third birthday. He, too, accepted his fate very well probably because he was going to be like his dad and two older brothers. Freddie was then diagnosed with Coeliac Disease in November, 2005.
Something Different - 2006
Late in 2005, Sunita – then aged 9½ years - was playing basketball when she collapsed on the court. After a visit to the doctor, he put it down to a "fainting episode". In February, 2006, Sunita had another "fainting episode" after swimming. We took her to a neurologist who informed us that there was a slim chance it was Epilepsy and, if so, the seizures would become more frequent and stronger. Within two weeks, she had another seizure - this time she didn't faint but her face jumped and twitched uncontrollably. I phoned the specialist and he suggested we have an MRI to rule out anything else, before starting her on epilepsy medication.
Following the MRI, we went to visit the specialist. Steven, Sunita and I entered his room and within five minutes our whole world came crashing down. We were told that she had a brain tumor. Here we were worried about putting her on epilepsy medication, and now we are being told that our daughter has a brain tumor. Sunita was in the room at the time, so we had to be very mindful about what questions we asked. They couldn't tell us much more than it was a hematoma or a low-grade glioma, which has a very broad spectrum. The tumor was in the thalamus (core of the brain responsible for all of her gross motor nerves) so we couldn't do a biopsy. We just had to wait and see if it was growing and how quickly. It was another three months to the next MRI, and as anyone would imagine this was a very emotionally difficult time.
Not Another One
After watching Sam's blood glucose levels slowly rise over a two-year period, he was formally diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes in September 2009 - two months before his 17th birthday. I am so proud of the way Sam has accepted this challenge with such confidence and ease.
Things Happen For a Reason
I am determined not to dwell on why so many health misfortunes have been thrust upon our family and I'm quite sure there are many other people who have indeed endured far worse. Things happen for a reason, however difficult it is to understand and accept. Rather, I would prefer to see it as an opportunity to use the experience I have gained to make a difference to other people who are affected by diabetes.
Starting my own business in 2004, I designed and created funky, bright, useful, convenience-based products to help manage diabetes. With so many diabetics in my family, I have acquired a great deal of knowledge of what is needed to make diabetes as convenient and manageable as possible.
Having spoken at conferences in Australia and overseas, including New Zealand and at the International Diabetes Federation World Diabetes Congress in Montreal, Canada, I hope that by telling my story about the positive way we have dealt with diabetes in our family that I may be able to help other families who are enduring diabetes or another illness. Yes, it is hard and certainly an inconvenience, but if my family can remain positive with the challenges we've been handed, then there is no reason why other families can't do the same!
I am empowered by the thought that I may be able to help others. In fact, I believe this also helps me, as the business has been a great distraction, especially when things have started to play on my mind.
As diabetes - Type 1 and (predominantly) Type 2 - affects a huge population, I hope that I can help spread the word that managing diabetes and being positive can have so many benefits.
This is my motto:

John asks…
my bmi is 17. is that too low or average? i eat enough food but size 00 pants are still to small for me. any suggestions cuz i don't want 2 move to kid sizes again.
admin answers:
Yeah that's a bit low, a healthy bmi would be around 20, give or take a point or two. You might want to try a high carb diet with a lot of protein. Also, you might want to try to drink one protien shake a day in addition to your current meals. Whatever you do DO NOT eat fatty, greasy foods to gain weight, this can lead to diabetis or heart disease later in life.

dose anyone have a good BMI calculator or wheel?
admin answers:
This has a great bmi calc, for men and women.
Mandy asks…
Does the bmi thing really work???? MINE IS 41?? THATS BAD OR GOOD??
admin answers:
BMI is very inaccurate and is an outdated tool developed by the government to track statistical data. It does not take into account body composition, so most elite athletes with extra muscle mass and little bodyfat will register high on the scale, and anorexics low on the scale.
The best thing to do is get your bodyfat percentage tested. You can do this yourself with hand calipers, or find someone to do it for you (many health clubs have this service). Impedence scales and other such devices are very inaccurate, so calipers are your most accurate and viable means (total water immersion is actually the most accurate but not viable for most people).
