Canucks fans have been wanting Alex Edler to play a more physical game for years. He's proven in the past, to Drew Doughty, for instance, that he can be an effective and devastating hitter, but he has been frustratingly inconsistent with that side of his game.
Edler is such a low-key guy that one of his defining traits is his ability to take a nap almost anywhere. That seems to seep into his play. He remains calm and relaxed on the ice, but never seems to get riled up enough to throw a big hit. He certainly never seems to get emotionally involved enough to get angry and throw a dirty check.
That's why it was shocking to see him go knee-on-knee with Eric Staal during Team Sweden's game against Team Canada at the World Championships. It was an ugly, ugly hit that will likely see Staal miss significant time and earn Edler a hefty suspension.
(Vine for now. Regrettably, the video has been taken down. I will try to find a replacement.)
I hate knee-on-knee hits. They can potentially end careers and seeing Staal writhing on the ice in obvious agony was difficult to watch.
It's a hit that Edler simply can't make. It's also one that I don't think he intended.
Most of the time what leads to a knee-on-knee hit is a player lining up a hit then, realizing he's going to miss his target, sticking out his leg. One of the reasons we were so upset about David Porter's knee-on-knee with David Booth last season was that Porter stuck his leg out and kept it out for a significant period of time.
The first half of the formula fits the Edler hit. He's aiming to hit Staal square, but Staal jukes to the inside, bending over and removing the possibility of a shoulder-to-shoulder hit. At that point, Edler has to give up on the hit. And honestly, he seems to.
That's the best screenshot I could capture of the moment of impact. It's actually a little after, but it still illustrates my point. Edler doesn't stick his leg out; he actually tucks it in, like he's trying to step around Staal.
That said, he still hit him knee-on-knee and bears the responsibility for it and for the consequences of Staal's injury. He absolutely deserves a suspension.
Edler received a 5-minute major and, under IIHF rules, every major penalty earns a game misconduct. Given how severe the injury appeared and the strictness of the IIHF, it's entirely likely that Edler will be gone for the rest of the tournament. With how emotional Edler was as he left the ice, throwing his stick down the hall as he stormed off the ice, it's likely Edler knows it too.Tags: alex edler, World Championship
After this game Mike Smith is probably the only player in the league who actually thinks Edler is a dirty player (putting aside the fact that he is responsible for any damage incurred during Edler's "hit" on him in that game). The fact that he also happened to be playing in this game is actually quite remarkable. Fortunately, Harrison is right and this suspension will not impact Edler's NHL record.
His leg swings back with the impact, as he is taking his weight off that leg and trying to get it out of the way. If there were any intent, his right leg would have plowed through Staal's.
I read about this first on Puck Daddy. From the comments there I was expecting to see before photos of Edler adding metal plates over his shin guards, and pre-game tweets where he placed a bounty on Staal's head.
not at all. that is how u do a knee on knee hit. u have to lift up your leg and angle it towards the pother persons or else Edler would have been in extreme pain as well.
your all idiots and Edler should be sued because this was as intentional as it gets. he should be stripped of his gold medal since he did anything but hurt Canada's chance to win my taking out the Captain.
NHL should look in to these kind of hits when dishing out punishment during the season because you get the jest of how the player wants to play without strict NHL coaching and rules
I learned pretty quick to not do knee on knee hits playing ball hockey and soccer. The lack of padding means everyone gets hurt.
However, sometimes you literally cannot avoid an unintentional knee on knee collision, though it looks like Edler did his darnednest here.
Thank you! I'm desparately confused by this blog post: "like he's trying to step around Staal.
That said, he still hit him knee-on-knee and bears the responsibility for it and for the consequences of Staal's injury. He absolutely deserves a suspension."
So: "he's trying to step around Staal… He absolutely deserves a suspension."
Uh-huh. I'm losing interest in hockey every day.
I'm desperately confused by this comment. Edler is responsible for his actions on the ice. Whether he intended to hit Staal knee-on-knee is beside the point: he hit him knee-on-knee. He deserves a suspension for that.
Was their intent on Edler's part? I don't think so. But suspensions don't require intent. There are a number of things Edler could have done to avoid the hit entirely. He could have approached Staal from a different angle to ensure that he got full body contact with the hit. He could have skated right around him in order to get on the goal side of Staal to prevent him from getting a chance on net instead of being so far out of position to make that hit. He could have stopped instead of continuing to coast into Staal.
He didn't do any of those things. He hit Staal knee-on-knee. Intentional or not, that's a suspension.
It was strange to hear on team1040, crawford, websites, opinions everywhere saying dirty hit… edler was sticking his leg out, blah blahh. When I first saw it yesterday early on, it seemed really clear he was just trying to avoid him. Your screen cap captures it pretty good. The video angle from center ice shows it really clear that he didn't stick his leg out. People are getting a bit hyper sensitive. Accidents happen.
Nonetheless, he probably could've tried harder to get out of the way and besides, Sweden is probably better off, he was such a liability most of the year for Vancouver.
Are you guys stupid??? Staal stays on the same track .. If Edler was trying to avoid him he had plenty of time to do so.. To imply that he tried to avoid him only after impact is ridiculous. His leg gets knocked backward because of the force of an impact powerful enough to do serious damage. It's simple physics, you dumbies. And he didn't need to stick his leg out because he'd already aimed it perfectly at Staal's knee. The dirtiest play in hockey and if you have any doubt just wait till you see the reaction from true experts; his fellow players in the NHL.
Staal twisted his upper body as he played the puck, bending over at the waist and removing the possibility of a hit to his shoulder. Edler wasn't trying to avoid him initially because he had his shoulder lined up for a hit, but you see him lift his right leg and move it towards his left leg just before impact. He's obviously trying to step around him. He didn't succeed.
exactly. wagner stop talking. as a sports reporter or whatever the hell this is i get why you are defending Edler but please stop making ti out as if he tried to avoid hitting him..
if youi watch the play, Edler comes in straight at him from a ways out. he has him lined up. he could have laid a check on him EASY and he would have been caught with his head down.
BUT, instead he lifts his knee and slams it right in to Stalls. That it HOW you do a knee on knee hit.. he HAS to lift his own knee to make the impact harder and brace the impact on his own knee.
but needless to say, you are all idiots. watch the play. not the stupid picture this dumby posted.
in no way shape or form did he try to avoid it. by lifting his knee he slammed it right in to the sweet spot which he would have missed or been a SHIN on SHIN collision if he DIDNT lift his leg.
use your heads and stop defending criminals. Edler should miss NHL time for this ridiculous hit
Well, you know, it was a reckless, dangerous bit of contact on Edler's behalf. But I don't care what you say, Edler does not stick his leg out. Look at the 45 second mark. Edler stays the course. He does not deviate. That's the problem, because by not deviating he hits Staal knee on knee and obviously hurts him very badly. It's bad contact. Edler should have made some attempt to avoid it.
Speaking of 'Shanny-isms', Doug Wilson just screwed his club.
His very valid comments (as most would agree) re: the Torres suspension violated league policy – Bettman policy.
The motto (as stated by Norman Finklestein) of most New York lawyers is, 'Never forgive. And, never forget.'
Wilson question openly league integrity which taints the brand. Das is verboten.
Hence, his team is doomed to larger market, larger revenue LA. as was Washington to the NYR with 6 consecutive minor penalties in Game 7 – note the comments of Ovechkin and McPhee.
Conspiracy? You bet. Don't mess with the brand or the brand will mess with you.
This league is tainted and is clearly seen with how so many games are 'managed' (rhymes with damaged)
I wonder if Shanny had to get circumcised before taking on the position of league sheriff?

CONYERS -- For those who have a yearning to get their creative juices flowing and include their youngsters in the process, the Children's Art Factory in Olde Town Conyers is the place to visit.
Co-owners Helen Riera and Madelyn Riera have merged their business acumen -- one with a background of working with children, the other with a degree in fine arts -- to create a place where parents and their children can work on art projects together.
We're actually taking a big city idea and bringing it to Conyers, said Helen Riera recently, adding that her sister-in-law Madelyn worked at a similar business in their hometown of New York. She enjoyed it so much and we thought we'd introduce it here.
The Children's Art Factory, located at 939 Bank St. behind the BB&T Bank, offers several types of programs.
Parents can come in on a walk-in basis with their children. We provide any kind of art supplies and ideas for projects for parents to do with their children, Riera explained.
Depending on their age range, they might decide to paint, draw, create puppets or make picture frames. That's from the ideas that we give the students. Or, they can come up with their own ideas and we'll help with that.
Riera said recently a child came in and wanted to make a birthday present for his mom and they helped him create the perfect gift.
That sort of service is called Open Art and the fee is $7 per person.
Also, art classes just for children are available through the Children's Art Factory and the art work in those classes is more detailed. Riera said students range from age 4 to 13.
The premise for those classes is usually inspired by a famous artist which the students are encouraged to emulate and learn about.
We try to get famous artist-inspired pieces and have the kids recreate them with their own twist, Riera said.
For instance, a recent class studied some of the abstract faces created by Pablo Picasso. They took reproductions of those faces, cut them in pieces and created new faces of their own making.
The children really enjoyed that and created their own little gallery from the faces. That was a class of 7- and 9-year-olds, she said.
A younger group recently tried to recreate one of Monet's nature pieces.
The cost for the classes is $50 per month and they consist of either two one-hour classes during the week or a two-hour class on Saturday mornings.
Also offered are parent's night out classes which are $15 per child which usually last for about three hours and are scheduled for every other Friday of the month.
Another popular offering is birthday parties.
We provide everything but the children and the cake, Riera said, adding that included in the party package are goodie bags, decorations, crafts for everyone and food.
For more information about the Children's Art Factory, call 678-667-2787 or visit their website at www.childrensartfactory.com.

Good Afternoon Fellow LJ'ers,
Well, woke up this morning only to find out that I did not have to go to work (Saturday), My wife was not home (She Works on Saturdays), and the kids were sound asleep (Still baffled on that one). So, what's a man to do huh? Well what any true Lumberjock would do in my shoes…Marched straight into the shop, realized it was way too cold to be out there without coffee and scrambled right back inside. After a second encounter with Mother Nature (Coffee Courage By this Time), I decided to make some handles for my Harbor Freight "China Special" Chisels. Yep, them. The plastic handle ones. Like I said before, my budget just means I have to be a bit more creative…that's a all. So, after a few aww darn's, ouch's and nooooo's…Here's the best I could do with 5 inches of Mahoghany, 1 Cup of Coffee, "1/2 Chisel (It's brother) and possibly an entire role of sandpaper (Various shapes and sizes).
As always, thank you for folowing me down the rabbit hole…
-- - As a woodworker, it could be interesting sometimes waking up in the morning and asking, "Lord, what will you have me do today?" -Noah

New members join PROWritten by Duane Ramsey | | email@example.com
Membership within the newly renamed Professional Remodelers Organization (PRO) has grown with five new contractors and 11 associate members since last fall.
The independent organization formerly known as the Toledo Home Remodelers Association is celebrating its 40th year as it represents 210 remodeling contractors and associate members from businesses related to the construction and remodeling trade, according to executive director Mike Shobe said.
"We're here for the community to be sure that local contractors are licensed and professional in serving the remodeling needs of the people," Shobe said.
Nick Carpenter, owner of A+ Building Maintenance & Home Repair in Toledo joined the organization after attending a meeting in the fall. He became a licensed contractor and decided to become part of the organization that represents the industry and keeps its members informed.
"I pride myself at being professional and always upfront with my customers," said Carpenter, who has been in the remodeling business since 2001.
Carpenter previously worked as a supervisor at a trucking terminal while maintaining some rental properties. The latter activity is what led him to becoming a remodeling contractor.
"My dentist talked me into it after I did some work on his house in exchange for some dental treatment," he said. "Within six months, I had so much work that I quit my two jobs and started my own business."
Carpenter's remodeling business grew by 30 percent in 2008 and is already ahead of last year's pace by 40 percent. Ninety percent of that business comes from referrals and repeat customers, Carpenter said.
"It creates credibility and represents higher standards of workmanship and service while providing educational and training programs," said Chris Willee of CJ Design Construction and longtime member. He also represents Smart Financial Planning, a new associate member.
"Networking is very strong for associate members who are involved in the organization," Willee said.
Aquila Enterprise in Holland joined PRO recently due to its involvement in the construction and remodeling business, said Ken Amborski, senior vice president.
Aquila manufactures and installs granite, quartz and laminated countertops, installs custom kitchen cabinets, doors and windows in homes. It also is a general contractor of erected steel buildings.
Aquila is related to Lowry Manufacturing, a tool and die company that has operated in the area for 53 years, according to its president Bill Lowry.
Chris Pfleghaar, an area sales representative for Andersen Windows, recently joined PRO to gain exposure to the remodeling contractors in the local market. He has been involved in selling windows for new homes or replacement projects to contractors through local dealers.
Other new contractor members include Concrete Illusions of Ohio in Sylvania and R&D Contractors located in Petersburg, Mich.
New associate members also include Culligan Water of Northwest Ohio, Doors Plus, Invisible Fence, Lars/David Inc., Monroe Furniture Plaza, Mulch World and Rose Pest Solutions.

If you have logged into your wordpress.com account lately, you'll notice a couple new buttons at the top menu when you view posts and pages of other wordpress.com sites. That's because the feature that Tumblr made popular called Reblogging has been added this week.
So What is Reblogging?
The idea behind reblogging is very similar to the Twitter retweet – when someone posts or says something that you like, you share a snippet of the post on your personal blog. The web has been fascinated with the idea of sharing content, so just like you would share a funny picture on Facebook or Pinterest, in the push of a button you can reblog the picture to share with your blog's audience.
If you haven't checked it out yet or don't have a wordpress.com account (and why not?!) here is what the tool looks like:
But won't this result in mass duplicate content?
Automattic setup the system so only a snippet from the intro is copied to other blogs, and it will link back to the full post on the original authors site. Looking to grow your audience and ind more readers? This makes linkbait and writing epic stuff even more important, as your work (and backlinks) can now spread at lightening speed by way of these simple reblogs.
I like to think of them as the easiest guest posts you will ever write, since you can now write a great piece of content on your own blog, and you will get readers from a whole spectrum of blogs following these reblogs to read the full piece.
There is the added benefit to reblogging someone else's work besides finding great things for your audience, and that is a comment that gets added to the original post showing who liked it. This is pretty close to the trackback system of allowing readers to find other places where the conversation is being carried on.
Overall, the reblogging feature adds a solid social media element to the trusty veteran blog platform.

One in four registered voters may be up for grabs between now and November, regardless of who they already have verbally pledged to support, according to an analysis that ABC News released on Friday.
The analysis, produced for ABC by Langer Research Associates, defines the group as voters who "may be persuadable," because they are looking for more information, but found one thing won't sway them across either party line—ideology. It found that 29 percent of Mitt Romney's current supporters are persuadable, compared with 24 percent of President Obama's.
The analysis uses a method based on a model developed by political scientists at Williams College, University of North Carolina, and University of Michigan. It says persuadable voters are less likely to be ideologically committed, and more likely to base their vote on more subtle middle-ground positions.
It also says anxiety makes voters more likely to be swayed. Anxious voters put thought into their decisions and are compelled to gather as much information as possible before making their choice.
While the number of voters up for grabs is good news for both the Obama and Romney campaigns, the anxiety factor could pose a threat to those they've already won over.
In a new ABC News/Washington Post poll, 53 percent of respondents who back Obama say they are anxious about his job performance in a second term, and 62 percent of Romney supporters are anxious about their candidate. The 25 percent identified as "easily persuadable" were both anxious and looking for more information.

Product description
It is a summer's night in 1860. In an elegant detached Georgian house in the village of Road, Wiltshire, all is quiet. Behind shuttered windows the Kent family lies sound asleep. At some point after midnight a dog barks. The family wakes the next morning to a horrific discovery: an unimaginably gruesome murder has taken place in their home. The household reverberates with shock, not least because the guilty party is surely still among them. Jack Whicher of Scotland Yard, the most celebrated detective of his day, reaches Road Hill House a fortnight later. He faces an unenviable task: to solve a case in which the grieving family are the suspects. The murder provokes national hysteria. The thought of what might be festering behind the closed doors of respectable middle-class homes - scheming servants, rebellious children, insanity, jealousy, loneliness and loathing - arouses fear and a kind of excitement. But when Whicher reaches his shocking conclusion there is uproar and bewilderment. A true story that inspired a generation of writers such as Wilkie Collins, Charles Dickens and Arthur Conan Doyle, this has all the hallmarks of the classic murder mystery - a body; a detective; a country house steeped in secrets. In The Suspicions of Mr Whicher Kate Summerscale untangles the facts behind this notorious case, bringing it back to vivid, extraordinary life.

And There Is My Dharma...
By Manduka Ambassador Vic Munoz
I recall, since a young age I used to admire musicians, writers, astronauts, and in general people that were passionate about what they did. For a long time I thought it was the profession what made these people passionate. Finding that I didn't have much of a talent for such careers, I conformed with studying business and finding a corporate job.
A long time into the corporate world, one day it dawned on me that it was not about the choice of career but instead about finding that thing that springs from within, that makes you express yourself in a loving way.
In my case that thing is: to help. And particularly, I feel a sense of expansion when helping others help themselves.
Upon this discovery I decided to get into it seriously, so I let go of the corporate job. A while later I found myself in India, where I met Akhil, a kind man from Mysore, open like an ocean of love. He taught me to work with the Tibetan singing bowls to channel healing energy to help people find their "orbit" or path in life. His, and my yoga teachers BNS Iyengar and Ajay Kumar, exude a passion for life and helping that is just inspiring.
Coming back to Miami, I decided to apply what I had learned and started giving free sessions with the Tibetan bowls and yoga. Determined to carry on with my goal of helping others, soon I realized that although I was not charging money, all my needs were being covered. Realization also came that when I would focus on the money, it will always diminish or disappear, causing a feeling that it is hard to get.
Increasingly, I started getting referrals and also began charging for the sessions and classes. But I had learned to remain focused on the help, nothing else. This went on for a year or so, and then I returned to India. Returning again in Miami, I let go of a couple of public group classes I had, and decided to focus on offering private, one on one, sessions. I figured I could be more effective in helping doing it this way. As usual, with this type of decisions, fear and doubt appear, but I choose to transcend them with a simple phrase we often repeat, but not necessarily act upon: things always find a way to work out.
Three months later, I found a beautiful place from which I could teach and live, something that I had desired for a while. As the space appeared, so did the means to rent it, and putting it in condition to offer the services. Being a fellow that allows himself to be sustained by Divine Grace, and having no savings, sponsors appeared to support the opening of CITIZEN YOGA, amongst them our friends at Manduka, making it possible for me to live my dharma… of helping you find yours.
It is my hope that this message ignites the fire of motivation within you… to transcend fear, to live from your heart, to trust in your dharma to sustain your life.
I would like to thank my mom, Olinda, for teaching me the greatest lesson in life: there is always possibility.

Inspiration: # Practice Looking Up
By Eka Ekong
I am in the midst of a yoga teacher training in Mexico(before you become envious, know that the weather has been quite cold) Last night, guided by a few artificial lights, my friend and I were walking back to our room, trying to avoid any hazards or wildlife(read: snakes). Something within me said to look up, and when I did I was engulfed in a sky filled with stars. I turned to my companion and said, "Hey, look up!" She didn't hear me at first, but when she eventually did, we both froze awestruck by the majesty above and around us.
Oftentimes during practice, we can become so focused on an asana we can forget that there is more to us than our body and what we are doing in that moment. When we allow ourselves to expand whether in breath or awareness, we can broaden our inner and outer perspective. By looking up and out we can move deeper inwards, and see what's true and vibrant inside.
I am #practicing expansion beyond my limitations. What does your Manduka help you #practice?
Here's how some remarkable yogis #practice Oneness:
Kim Puente-" Oneness is the art of being me. Not "mom" not "wife" or "daughter" just me. It is that 90 mins of Oneness that brings me back everyday and makes me a better mom, wife and daughter."
Gabrielle Gervilla-"Wake up in the morning, hop out of bed, sip on some tea, balance on my head. Open the windows, feel the breeze and pose with the trees. Salute the sun, know that we are all one. "
Katrina Hokule'a Ariel- "One Heart Song. Infinite Melodies."
Ozro Hepworth- "1ness to me is seeing the Divine in all things and experiencing all things with-in my True Self. The bubble becoming the Sea."
Kimberly FeLix-" 1ness is realizing I don't control everything. Or anything. Being out of control is ok, #yoga fills the gaps."

Lyrics To Go: The Rhythm Of Namaste
We recently launched our Lyrics collection, a fusion of word and image, and a celebration of Yoga's timelessness and intent. Words hold wisdom, reflection, and can help us to create the life of our dreams and our larger reality. With our words as well as our actions, we honor the divine light in ourselves and others. How does your Manduka help you #practice Namaste in words and deeds?
Here are a few responses on how some Yogis rhythmically celebrate the word "Namaste" in their realities:
From John Bowden
"Namaste means hello or goodbye, fix a friend a sandwich on Deli Rye, take the drishti to the third eye,eternal supply,forget the past and live in the now,respect the sacred cow,the know how,flow from right to left,up,down,front,and back,rooted firm into the ground the arms are up ,gaze to the crown,give thanks to all that have walked this road that have shouldered the load when the others were cold.."
From MaryJo Powrozek Rosso
"There once was a yogi from Kathmandu
who saw divinity in me and in you
the trekkers he'd see, were as special as he
and he is as special as you"
From Jill Lawson
"Free to be me in the 21st century, I play and I pray as the way of namaste, free to be me in the 21st century, I look within, it ain't no sin, in fact, it is the only way."
From Jasmine Arney
"Fear is a shadow
Hate is in the past
Trust is in the present
Truth in the light
Change is in the universe,
Namaste is the peace fight."
From Alissa Lesperance
"Namaste, yo. Bringin' respect from my heart. It's where we end and where we start."

Facing tight competition and profound changes in the way people use air transport, the air industry has to find new ways to reduce costs. Digitalisation is one important source of cost reductions.
In the Air industry, digitalisation has been operational for the past few years, particularly with regard to business processes (eTicketing, eFreight, etc) and finance processes (clearing, interline management, etc).
Invoice digitalisation allows key players to go one step beyond through the sustainable reduction of internal costs related to invoice management.
How BearingPoint brings value
Invoice digitalisation project is not a technical project but a wider business topic that has to address key elements of strategy and organisation such as:

So Charleston County schools want to raise your taxes.
Meanwhile, Berkeley County schools may need a tax increase to stay out of the red.
And a lot of people are worried that the Dorchester County schools will ask for more money this year too.
Apparently, it costs a lot to run a school district these days. But these school officials shouldn't expect a warm reception, or much sympathy, from the public. And that's not just because folks around here don't cotton to new taxes.
A lot of people believe this is getting a little ridiculous.
Charleston County has the toughest argument to make — because even without a tax increase, the schools' budget will grow by $23 million. Most companies would by happy with 6.6 percent growth.
Berkeley County schools are facing a potential $8.8 million shortfall, which makes their case a little stronger. But they are going to have to explain very clearly that last year's building bond referendum is a different pot of money. A lot of people just see the potential for their taxes to go up two years in a row.
Places to cut?
The Charleston County School Board has put the brakes on the district's tax talk — for now.
So the members are doing their jobs. Fact is, many feel the district has not yet made a strong case for needing more money beyond the additional $23 million it will get from tax revenues this year. Some board members want to know what the district has done to trim costs in other areas.
Board members will begin looking at the budget Monday, and they hope to get a better understanding of the pressures on the budget. There are programs that could stand to be expanded. But are there others that could be cut? It's a tough call.
"I assume the board is thinking a tax increase would require substantial justification," board member John Barter says.
Charleston schools officials say some of the need for extra money is to give employees cost-of-living raises. No doubt the teachers deserve them.
But telling working folks who aren't seeing raises themselves that they have to pony up for someone else's salary is not real good politics.
Crying wolf?
Berkeley County is talking about making up some of its shortfall with a $25 per student technology fee.
That limits the pain to people with kids in school, but calling it a fee is misleading.
Fee, after all, is the Latin word for tax.
School districts are certainly expensive propositions. A huge chunk of their budgets go to salaries, and they have to run dozens of facilities. The Charleston County School District has a $380 million budget and serves 45,000 students.
By contrast, the entire city of Charleston's budget is only $160 million — and that's for a government that serves about 123,000 people.
The economy may be showing promising signs of life, but the best tactic for both these school districts is probably to look real hard at places to cut.
In Charleston's case, particularly, raising taxes right now might make it harder to do down that road.
You know, when it's actually in trouble.

By editor
As New Yorkers braced themselves for Hurricane Sandy, coastal geologist Cheryl Hapke was out surveying Fire Island, a barrier island off the Long Island coast. Days later, Hapke was back to document the hurricane's effects and found a breach cutting the island in two. Now locals and scientists are debating whether the inlet should be filled in or left as nature intended.

geez! how do you know, no other cars slipped in the same spot last night? They don't list everytime a car goes in the ditch.
My heart and prayers goes to the family in this time of loss.
maybe they need some workers at the front of the store watching the door?
You would be surprised how many woman would love to be a farmer's wife! Farmer's are great men and I would probably work harder then any other men out there.
I think your thinking about the 7th floor! Andersons building is Cancer/Doctor offices.
Actually I hate American idol and I work full time. I don't regret anything because I went to college. You can come from a GREAT family and still make stupid choices. Maybe well he is trying to make it BIG he should still go to college, then if it doesn't happen he didn't waste the time. I am not hating, I just think its stupid no matter how old you are to not go to college. To many people don't go when they are young and then kick themselves because they can't find a job and all the younger people have those jobs they could have had. Just a thought.
oh WOW! this kid is so AWESOME.... NOT! How stupid to drop out of college to go after something that is not for sure. He doesn't know if he is going to hit it big. I am glad he sang good at the Oh' Bar but seriously the last thing anyone would want to do is stop going to college the way the economy is going.
2.99 gallons
hilarious I can't stop laughing about your comment.
He didn't ask her to look in his car. That girl needs to stop snooping in peoples cars.
I think the name of your food review could come off a little offensive to some people. I know its a struggling problem in this country today but if you where fat, would you liked to be called fat?
This is BS! People get free internet,free cell phones, free food, free living, free animal care (ohyeah) called the humane society about getting our cat fixed and I was told it was going to be $ 200 dollars unless I was low income and then it is free!!! WOW! All I have to do is sit at home and I can get everything paid for !!!
what kind of car was it?
How do you know these boys are capable of calling 9-1-1? So your putting this on the kids? Geez, by the way the parents have been acting, it does not seem like those two are the brightest people!!!!
Is there no space in the CROSSING anymore? I believe I saw some window fronts available. Why don't we just have stores go in there?
Why can we not rely on parents to work with their own children. Yes you send your children to school to learn but learning also is at home. If more parents would step up and help out then we would not need all these teachers in the schools. The people complaining about needing all these teachers are most likely the ones who need to get off their butts and help their children. If you can't do that , then why did you have children in the first place?
Jackson CitPat is just informing the people who are wondering. Is that not what a newspaper is for, to inform?? Why do people have to complain about every little thing. If you don't like what you read in the CitPat, don't read it.
18 month olds can climb out of a pack and play? Wow! This is very sad. When my son started climbing out of his kid ofcourse it was frustrating but I would never imagine putting something on top of his crib, it seems like its all part of the stages of a little one, growing up!
Let's just cut WELFARE for everyone who has been on in it longer then a year maybe we can clean the lazy people out of Jackson. It was setup to help people get back on their feet but we have 4 generation losers on it in Jackson because there is not accountability for people on it...
I just saw the second picture. Looks a lot better. I only saw the parts that looked burnt. I told my husband about the place and he is going to try it out today! thanks for the tip on a new place to check out. I don't think it is super hard to find! Just tell people its near industrial area off high st./ elm st. or page ave /elm st. I think it is easier to find in the dark because the lights are one of the only on in the area.
bad picture!! the burger looks burnt!!

For the past several Mad World discussions, we've looked at ad campaigns that are somewhat lacking when it comes to progressive gender politics. It seems high time, then, that we highlight advertising that gets it right where gender is concerned. The only problem is, where the hell can we find it? Does mainstream, sexism-free advertising even exist?
We've been brainstorming possible examples of nonsexist ad campaigns around the office all morning, and we're having a tough time coming up with anything. Could this be simply because most of us get our television and reading materials from the Internet, which means we aren't seeing all of the awesome, progressive ads that are out there? Or are we as hurting for these advertisements as I think we might be?
To clarify, a nonsexist ad (for these purposes) still has to deal with gender politics, it just needs to do it in a non-stereotypical way. That means that a completely gender-neutral ad (say, an advertisement for a subscription to The New York Times) doesn't count. Not to say that those ads are or aren't offensive, just that they don't work for this particular discussion. Examples of what we are looking for here might include a commercial for something that is typically marketed to women (say, detergent) that flips the script in some way (say, by showing an interracial homosexual couple using the product). Is this too much to ask for?
The only example I could easily find (though I am vaguely remembering a few others that I couldn't easily find) is the new-ish campaign from Google, Search Stories. Yes, the "Parisian Love" spot from this series that aired during the Super Bowl was pretty heteronormative, but a few others manage to avoid gender stereotypes pretty well. Behold:
The description from Google here is, "A girl works to fit in." But this particular girl eschews the cheerleading team and the prom committee to be true to herself by starting a robotics club. Fun! Google could have easily followed traditional gendered high school tropes here and shown this girl searching for boyfriend advice or prom dresses, but instead she likes robot dinosaurs (which look awesome, btw).
Other ideas thrown around this morning have been that Swiffer commercial where the husband calls his wife at work to brag about his new Swiffer (we decided that one was a little degrading to the man in the relationship – who gets that psyched about a Swiffer?) and that Progressive Insurance ad that shows the gay couple shopping for insurance together (that one might work, but those Progressive ads bug me). Now we need your help: What nonsexist ad campaigns can you think of? Tell us in the comments section!

What do you think of this
What do you think of this Fatherhood Involvement PSA? Here's link in case embed code below doesn't work: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9A2Ap3DyvLg
My students in Women's Studies 101 last year loved this; even though some were critical that the daughter's focus is on cheerleading, we (the class) liked that the dad was engaging with his daughter on her terms.
Though it's kind of a sad commentary on our culture that we would cheer on a dad who is involved in his daughter's life (not because that's bad, but because ideally it would be so commonplace that we wouldn't feel compelled to cheer) I really like that PSA! I think the enthusiasm of the dad is what sells it for me. Fun example!

Few and far between
I still remember one of the first non-sexists ads I ever saw. This was about 13 years ago, and the fact that I still remember it highlights for me how few of these ads there are: It was for the Downy fabric softener ball (do they even still make this?) and there was a fairly generic montage of people involved with their laundry throughout, but right smack in the middle was a scene of a man doing laundry. Competently, on his own. It wasn't All About the guy doing laundry. He was just included in a range of images of people doing laundry and probably also, like, running through fields or something.
I haven't seen the Progressive ad with the gay couple of which you speak, but I would hazard a guess that it counts, even if the Progressive ads in general annoy you. They have one that really, really bugs me, though, with the heterosexual couple shopping, and the woman is all "whee shopping" and the man is carrying the man bag which he is embarrassed by and the whole thing enrages me whenever I see it. Even more so because I'm an Progressive policyholder.
Everything Nike does with a
Everything Nike does with a woman in it seems to uplift me, from more recent ones like "Men vs Women", "Paula Radcliffe: I Am a Runner", "We Will Take on the World as a Team", all the way back to "If You Let Me Play" (is that really 15 years ago already?). "It's a Skills Thing is so pro-woman it practically dares you to disagree. There have been many more. I even loved their anti-Imus print ad, which thanks Imus for "unintentionally moving women's sport forward." Wow, Nike, way to be awesome.
"Delicious Training"?
Nike's latest ad campaign for women is called "Delicious Training," and I'm not comfortable that they're associating intense physical exercise with the enjoyment of food, when women's relationships with food and their bodies can be so complicated as it is.
Are you for real? The new
Are you for real? The new campaign has nothing to do with the ads the poster mentioned. Of course you're never going to find a non sexist ad if you find fault with every single little thing.
I admit, I laughed at the
I admit, I laughed at the Kotex ad, since it really is the kind of conversation my friends and I have. But oh, how quickly these ads simply become offensive. See this post about condom advertising: http://feminema.wordpress.com/2010/04/10/hobags-unite/

It is hard to believe that a company as seemingly mobile-clueless as Microsoft could inflict such a body-blow to the mighty Amazon, but that's what happened. It is too early to read Amazon's death notice — and the company is really too big to fail completely — but where I'd previously have given odds that Barnes & Noble was headed for the rocks, now I worry more about Amazon's Kindle.
I am writing about Microsoft's investment in B&N's Nook mobile reader business. If you missed the $605-million news, here is a version of the story from The Register. The announcement drove B&N's stock up and put the world on notice that the Nook has a Microsoft-guaranteed future of at least five years. If you want to say I am giving Redmond way too much credit, it may turn out that you are right. Microsoft has stuffed lots of money into lost-cause consumer electronics ventures in the past. The Nook doesn't have the stench of Zune or SPOT, however.
But, just as Microsoft propped up Apple shortly after Steve Jobs' return — setting in motion the Apple of today — Redmond has clearly saved the Nook from a very troubled future, wounded Amazon's Kindle, and put Apple on notice that Microsoft won't die quietly.
If you are thinking about purchasing a Kindle or Nook right away, what should you do?
Tomorrow, there is no reason not to purchase a Kindle, with a 24-36-month replacement horizon. But if you like a Nook better and want to ride the Microsoft-driven wave, that choice has become a safe one, too. Future iPad customers don't generally consider alternatives, so I won't add them to this mix.
After 24-36 months, what is happening today will be behind us. But, it is absolutely clear that Microsoft will do everything it can to make Nook the default reader for its platforms. If Microsoft can make something happen in smartphones, it could become a major headache for Apple.
What does Amazon do?
I don't think Microsoft wants to kill Amazon, but it couldn't buy the company, either. Or get much Amazon love for the $600-million it will pour into Nook over the next half-decade. With B&N, Microsoft gets presumably significant say in Nook's future — and the device will be better and more interesting for it. Amazon may find selling content to Nook customers — if a deal can be structured — its best and most-profitable course. Clearly, Kindle is no longer poised to do what seemed possible just one day ago.
It has been a long time since I have been as excited about a new industry pairing as I am about this one.
I hope it will be a productive and happy marriage. Mazel tov!

Read Poems by
Mike Patrick
i may have caused a little hell
but you have taught me very well
life isnt easy and times can be hard
and sometimes you just have to play your best card
you've tried and tried and done your best
and i hold your advice over the rest
you've hung in there over the test of time
the only person ive ever seen stretch a dollar from a dime
you've made sure i was happy no matter the price
anything i've asked for you never thought twice
i may not be listening but i still hear what you say
i know im stubborn and tend to learn the hard way
the people in your life that deserve a toast
often the ones that matter the most
taken for granted every single day
too many times i have forgotten to say...
you have always been there you've never let me down
now all i want is to live a simple life in a small town
you may not notice but i see all that you do
you deserve it a million times over but... thank you

WARWICK, OKLAHOMA — We got here just in time. Twelve short hours before, David Bouska but a brisket in his smoker, set the temperature at 170 degrees, and waited for barbecue magic to happen.
"Here it is," he says lifting a huge slab of dripping meat out of its foil package. "The tenderness, the flavor, and the juice are a very big part of cooking a brisket."
Brisket and burnt ends, sauce and rubs, Bouska cooks and concocts from a specially built trailer on his place in Warwick.
It's not a restaurant but if you're lucky enough to be there when he's tweaking one of his specialties then you might get a treat from one of the most decorated barbecuers in Oklahoma.
"Barbecuing is a lot like being a fine dining chef," he argues. "They go to school for several years to learn how to cook that way. We cook in our backyards with our smokers for several years to learn our pits, our barbecues, and out methods."
His awards crowd for counter space. They pack his shelves. Bouska can't use his old meat cooler any more. It's too full of trophies and ribbons from the competitions he travels to 30 to 40 weekends every year.
The last one was a national award from a Las Vegas show. He won for his brisket recipe, naturally.
Speaking about the importance of quality ingredients, Bouska insists, "You have to start out with the good stuff. You can't start out with hamburger and come out with prime rib."
David's barbecue team is usually just he and his brother. It's called Butcher BBQ because that's what Bouska has always been.
His regular business next door to the trailer is cutting meat, and hamburger too, for people who supply their own animals.
He's busy but it's still quiet here. When the competition season quiets down he works on new ideas for barbecue.
"If I'm cooking for the wife, or my family, or myself," he says, "Oh yeah. I'm always playing."
If the awards don't say his slogan for you then his barbecue will. 'You can always trust your butcher'.
The Butcher BBQ team will head out again this spring for competition season. In the offseason when he's not experimenting David teaches classes in barbecue and markets a line of sauces and rubs.

They say justice is blind, but, like the rest of Colorado, the state's high court can't help but see in blue and orange.
Colorado's Supreme Court justices join the rest of the state in the excitement over the Denver Broncos' run for the Super Bowl against the Seattle Seahawks. Four blue and orange "Go Broncos" banners were recently draped down the stately columns on the front of the Ralph L.

The upper class men who saw the close race in the fall of '81, cannot fail to recollect the interest the event aroused. It has been a matter of frequent comment that more attention is not paid to rowing by the students at large. At present all the interest is centered on the university and class crews, and but few men who are not candidates for these crews ever go on the water. In the English universities boating is one of the most popular amusements, and it is the general popularity of the sport that makes it valuable. The revival of the single scull races would do much to encourage boating among the large majority of students who are not candidates for crews, and would soon dispose of the charge that the benefits of college athletics are enjoyed by but few.
No Headline
The Crimson suggests that the single scull races of a few years ago be revived. There are several men in college at present who are excellent oarsmen, and who would probably go into the race if the matter was put before them in a proper light. Besides this, the re-establishing of the custom would undoubtedly draw out many new men who might eventually become good candidates for the crews.

RED JACKET – Mingo Central trailed 18-14 at halftime, but made a strong comeback in the second half to pull out a 37-24 victory over Westside Saturday night at James H. "Buck" Harless Stadium.
The game was dubbed the King Coal Bowl, which used to be held in Williamson, and was played on the weekend of the county's seats King Coal Festival. This was the reemergence of that bowl game with the Miners as the new host.
Westside scored first with 11:02 left in the first quarter on a 63-yard TD pass from Justin Cogar to Mike Mullens. This play was the old hook and lateral where Cogar threw a pass to Dylan Newsome, who lateraled to Mullens.
Mingo Central scored after a nice offensive drive with 3:44 left in the first quarter as freshman quarterback Steve Hammond scored on a 15-yard run. Tyler Harrison's kick gave the Miners a 7-7 lead.
Westside regained the lead with 2:03 left in the initial quarter on a 46 yard TD run by Cogar. The conversion run failed, but Westside regained the lead 12 -7.
At the 1:51 mark of the first quarter, all-state running back Joe May broke loose for a 65- yard TD for Mingo Central. Harrison's kick gave the home team a 14 -12 lead.
In the second quarter, Westside went ahead on a 1- yard run by Matthew Harless. The run failed, but they regained the lead at 18 – 14.
Mingo Central ran only 13 plays in the first half and lost two fumbles on back to back plays. This set Westside deep in Miner territory.
Westside had 274 yards of total offense in the first half.
Starting out the third quarter, the speedy May ran an 85-yard kickoff return back for a score. Hammond connected with Davey Ward for the 2-point conversion pass for a 22- 18 MCHS lead.
Mingo Central took the lead at this point in the game and never surrendered it.
The Miners scored with 10:18 left in the game, Mingo got another score on an 11-yard run by Hammond. Hammond and May hooked up for the conversion for a 30-18 advantage.
With 5:44 left in the game, Westside's Mullens got a 6-yard run to make it 30-24 after the conversion was stopped.
With 1:46 remaining in the game, May, a senior, scored on a 10-yard run. Harrison booted the extra point to make it 37-24.
After allowing several big plays in the game, the Mingo Central defense started clicking, and turned the Renegades away on several drives.
The game was delayed for several minutes with 2:28 left in the third quarter when Mingo's Ward suffered a head injury during the game. Ward became ill on the MCHS sideline. An ambulance service was summoned, but then it was decided he should be flown out. So a Health Net helicopter was called to the scene and landed in the parking lot next to the stadium.
Ward was reportedly released from the hospital and is at home resting. He suffered a severe concussion and may be out for a few games.
Hammond was 6- 10 passing for 59 yards and an interception. May rushed 25 times for 176 yards and a pair of TDs. Hammond carried it eight times for 37 yards and two scores.
May caught three passes for 40 yards. Several other MCHS players had one catch. The Miners had 279 yards of total offense.
For Westside, Cogar was 8 of 15 for 164 yards. He also rushed for 117 yards on 18 carries and a touchdown. Mullens had 67 yards on 22 tries and a TD. Harless had eight carries for 26 yards and a TD.
Westside had 390 yards of offense and137 rushing yards in the first half.
Bowles caught three passes for 23 yards, while Newsome pulled in four for 78 yards. The Renegades had 226 rushing yards and 164 through the air.
Mingo Central is now 2-1 and plays host to Man on Friday in the John Fry Bowl. Fry is the former Miners assistant coach who passed away unexpectedly this past summer. Westside falls to 2-2 on the season and will host Independence.

be careful, this is where I bricked my wii.
i burned madden 09 pal on a verbatim dvd-r disc when i inserted it into my hacked 4.2 wii the game was in black and white and it keep scrolling, never got a steady img. I burned the game at 4x. What am I doing wrong? What caused this? any setting I should change in gamma?
be careful, this is where I bricked my wii.
Otherwise start at page 45 of this thread. The last post is where I document how I got out of a stubborn priiloader menu and recovered the wii system menus for 4.2u.
However this may not be necessary. Did you set the autoload in the priiloader settings menu to "System Menu"? Save the settings, back out to the homebrew channel, hit home, shutdown the wii and restart. That may be all it takes.
This of course did not work for me. But again it MAY work for you. Try it.
Otherwise read this thread from page 45 on and you'll see at least two people besides me with the same problem of the priiloader menu recovering their wii system menus. It can be done. Just be patient and try to understand just what the various procedures do, their purpose and significance. From that understanding comes solutions. Good Luck.
Thanks. I'm glad something worked for you. If you installed those two .wad files to restore IOS70 and the system menus, don't forget to install a working priiloader to protect your wii from future bricking incidents. A hyperlink to what I believe is a better priiloader with installation instructions is included in my post at page 45 as well.
Thanks for the guide.
I would like to add that Imation 16x DVD-R media burned at 8x works fine.
Burning at 16x could work, however i have yet to test that, since my laptop can only burn up to 8x.
Just wanted to say thanks for all of this!
hi everyone,
im from australia and have follow shadowsonics guide word to word and received the same error/bug as zhando and many others. the only difference for me is that i live in australia. now zhando in your post u give the things to type for the system menu for US wiis and say to change according to europe or aus. i have searched lots and cannot find an eu version. i think this is it. b4 priiloader took over it was version 4.2e [does this mean euro]. i have changed the System Menu-NUS-v481.wad to System Menu-AU-v481.wad [AUS MAYBE?? NO LUCK] I ALSO TRIED System Menu-EU-v481.wad [EUROPEAN CUZ THE SYSTEM MENU WAS 4.2E]
me [13] and my brother [12] are really annoyed cuz we wanna play cricket on wii our new chrissy present!
To get your menu back try this:
1.Download NUSDownloader and start it
2.Click database->System->System Menu and then select your Menu version (U for USA,E for Europe,J for Japan and K for Korea)
3.Tick "Pack->WAD" and then click "Start NUS download".
4.Put the WAD into the WAD folder in the Root of your SD.
5.Download WAD Manager and put it on the SD.
6.Then on the Wii start WAD Manager choose the Sysmenu wad and install it.
Then do Step 3 on this guide then follow all the steps aging starting from step 2.
Follow the instruction on Step 7 using Priiloader ( v0.2. ).
For this just download Priiloader ( v0.2. ) and put the Priiloader v0.2 folder inside the Apps folder on your SD card. make sure you put a copy of the hacks.ini file in the Priiloader v0.2 folder as well just in case. When you finish Step 7 you can go back to homebrew and select Priiloader ( v0.2. ) and press - to unistall it after you saved the settings from Step 7.
Your Wii menu should be back by now. I was able to test with Mario Kart.
