Fisherman's Dwarf
"Fisherman's Wharf" is not San Francisco but it is in San Francisco - with so many things to see I would put this near the end of the top 1000 things to see in SF. It is a very expensive tourist trap with over priced hotels, places to eat, etc...

Fisherman's Wharf
The area is full of many attractions for the visitor. Museums, galleries, shopping centres, plus many seafood restaurants. As you walk round there are many street performers here to entertain you.
The piers are also attractions too. Pier 39 with its sea lions, Hyde Street Pier with its collection of historic ships. Fisherman's Wharf is also where you depart to visit Alcatraz.
Fishermans Wharf and Pier 39
This a tourist trap, I know! But there are some reasons to visit this area and see why this area is so packed with tourists. There are countless souvenir stores that sell exactly the same things (magnets, t-shirts, jackets, mugs etc) at exactly the same prices. So, what's the good thing about this commercial hell that focus only on tourists? All these stores are all together here and the rest of the city is souvenir free :)
This is the place where you can visit Wax Museum, Ripleys Museum, Aquarium of The Bay, take the boat for a cruise or the Alcatraz tour, see the sea lions and take nice pics of Alcatraz or the Golden Gate bridge at the backdrop! We visited it on our first day in San Francisco and we didn't regret it.
We spent some time near the sea lions, we took several photos of them (pics 2-3) while they were playing by climbing each other (ok, they don't have much space to move there). You can easily watch them over K-Dock in Pier 39, it was back in 1989 just after the earthquake when the sea lions gathered here at this dock, they weren't more than 50 but because of the protected environment their population grew to more than 300 in a few months! During summer they migrate south to Channel Islands but during winter you may see more than 600 here! The Marine Mammal Center has a small kiosk with friendly staff that explain any question about them.
Then we left the funny, curious (and smelly) sea lions and we continued along the shore (pic 4) while checking the buildings from the other side (pic 5). Fishernans Wharf covers a long area from Pier 35 till Ghirardelli Square to the west. Of course, Pier 39 is the most popular by far as it has most of the stores inside the Pier 39 mall. It also houses several restaurants (that we avoided), but most of them have nice bay view but they are expensive while the cheaper ones have bad quality. I also think it was the only place we spent money for small silly souvenirs for all our friends and we enjoyed the rest of the days without worries about them :) If you stay for 2-3 days in SF don't come here but if you stay more it's worth to spend 2-4 hours (including the cruise and the museums of course)

The Shops and Restaurants at Pier 39
This is one place as a tourist in San Francisco you will want to visit. However, we as locals claim we wouldn't be caught dead here. Pier 39 is one of those "Touristy Places that you take your out-of-town relatives to. San Francisco would not be San Francisco with Pier 39! Pier 39 has a carnival/fair type atmosphere, there souvenir shops, snacks booths, arts, jewelry, and t-shirt shops. Pier 39 also has live bands and music. It even has a Merry-go-Round for the children. This is also the place to buy a ticket and cruise around San Francisco Bay and Alcatraz Island by boat.

Musee Mecanique
Although much of Fisherman's Wharf is a tourist trap, there's one place that we really did enjoy and that was the Musee Mecanique at Pier 45, one of the world's largest privately owned collections of mechanically operated arcade machines. The museum is free to visit but if you want to see the machines in action, you need to plunk down a quarter or two or find the machines already in action. We were greeted by the creepy Laffing Sal at the entrance, already cackling loudly, and worked our way through, stopping to arm wrestle and watch such macabre arcade games as the French execution and Spanish Inquisition, the unpolitically correct Opium Den and the elaborate circus. There's even one of those fortune telling machines like there is in the movie "Big", but that scares me, who wants to be a 13 year old in a 30 year old body??? Now maybe if it was the other way around.....
San Francisco's quitessential tourist destination
San Francisco's Fisherman's Wharf is home to several of the city's tourist attractions, including the Maritime Museum, Ghirardelli Square and The Cannery. There are plenty of souvenir shops and seafood restaurants around, but very few locals whom I've been told tend to avoid the area as much as possible! But I did enjoy walking around Fisherman's Wharf, even though we didn't stop by any of the museums or restaurants (I'm not much of a fish/seafood fan, so I much preferred having lunch in the nearby North Beach area).
We first went for a walk around the Maritime National Historic Park, where we were treated to a great view of the Golden Gate Bridge and spent some time watching people fish in the SF Bay. We then walked around Hyde Street Pier, home to the National Maritime Museum. You need tickets to go on board the historic ships that are docked at the pier, but visitors are allowed to walk around the pier and take pictures of the ships for free. The same goes for Pier 45, where you will find the USS Pampanito, a World War II submarine, and the USS Jeremiah O'Brien, a World War II cargo ship. So the whole area may have little to do with the "real" San Francisco, but I still think it's worth stopping by, if only for the lively atmosphere and beautiful views of the San Francisco Bay.

Soak in the sun
There is a lot activity at the Fisherman's Wharf. It has artists painting a sketch for you in 10$, souveniers, has a beautiful bay front with boats docked, and a bright sun can do wonders to your energey levels. try it or your money back!!

Musee Mechanique
Located on Pier 45 at Fisherman's Wharf is the very quirky Musee Mechanique. The museum is filled with old 'penny arcade' games, or to make I sound more impressive, the museum is home to one of the world's largest collections of antique arcade machines and mechanically operated musical instruments.
The museum is so worth a visit, especially as admission is free. It will cost you to operate the machines though - between 25 and 50 cents each.
There is such a zany collection of machines and games - from giant fortune tellers, to sex appeal meters, to arm wrestlers, to the original Sega Monaco GP racing game.
We spent close to an hour amazing at the various machines, watching them in action, and playing some old favourite arcade games.

Fisherman's Wharf
Fisherman's Wharf is a busy tourist attraction and also the name of a neighbourhood of San Francisco. Located by San Francisco Bay, it really does have that 'tacky, touristy' feel about it, with plenty of souvenir shops and cheap eateries to keep families happy.
Beside its scenic bay side location, there are some must-see attractions in this area. I adored the Musee Mechanique (see separate tip), which is fun for all ages. Also loved watching (but not smelling!) the sea lions at Pier 39 (see separate tip).

First Time in the Fisherman Wharf
Many specialty stores and you can get San Francisco memorabilia there.
It got too crowded during Christmas Holiday and if you don't mind walking, park your car on the street couple blocks before Pier 39, it's free for 2 hours.

Fishermans Wharf
It seems like at every visit to San Francisco we end up eatting at Fishermans Wharf. Rob loves seafood and theres tons of places to eat around here. We also love to walk around in this area. You can also take excursions from here.
A very popular place is Pier 39. There is food and great shopping here.
A Million and One Things To Do
This is one of the most popular tourist destinations in San Francisco. The stretch of the Wharf consists of coast side row of seafood restaurants, street vendors, souvenir stores, and beautiful ocean view. When in the dockside, do not forget to eat the ultimately delicious bread bowl soup that they are famous for. Take awesome shots of the sight and if on a budget stroll around the many souvenir shops. Pier 39 located on the Wharf itself, host a lot of attractions as well, restaurants and the well-known barking sea lions. Getting there is easy, cable cars and public buses are readily available and inexpensive.

Take a break from the crowds at the Wharf...
Although it's lot of fun, the crowds in Fishermans Wharf can get overwhelming. Take a break and walk down to the water and enjoy the view. Then walk back up and have a yummy treat at Ghirardelli Square.
Fisherman's Wharf
Enjoyed walking on the Wharf, lots of interesting gift shops, restaurants and people watching. I particularly enjoyed watching the seals perform on the rocks and all of the interesting people watching them.
Our hotel on the Wharf was in a good location as was as Dante's seafood restaurant.

Gehring, Celski win U.S. championships
Jeffrey D. Allred, Deseret News
KEARNS — When Lana Gehring skated across the icy finish line, she felt a lot of pride, and maybe a little vindication, for the man who helped her find confidence and focus after a season of frustration.
"Every time I go across the finish line it's like he's winning," said Gehring, of former U.S. short track speedskating head coach Jae Su Chun, who resigned and was banned from coaching (at official events) this fall, following allegations of abuse by several of Gehring's U.S. teammates. An investigation into the allegations couldn't corroborate the allegations, but Chun and his assistant, Jun Hyung Yeo, resigned and were banned after admitting that they failed to report an incident of cheating.
The controversy splintered the team into three groups, and now all sides are struggling to try and heal the wounds left by the ordeal as the athletes head into the critical second half of the World Cup season and World Championships.
Gehring, who backed Chun and Yeo, struggled mightily after the men resigned, and she reunited with the pair just a few weeks ago in Washington, D.C. She and five other U.S. athletes train with Chun at Steiner Ice Center in Salt Lake City, and she said she's slowly regaining her confidence.
"It's very emotional. I'm not just winning for me. I'm winning for Salt Lake International; I'm winning for Jae Su and Jun and everyone who helped us out. It's really great to win and just show other people that I have improved."
Gehring scored more total points than any other skater, man or woman, as she won every race Friday and Saturday to earn the women's U.S. championship with 5,050 points. J.R. Celski won the men's title with 4,650 points, and he won three of four races this weekend despite struggling with post-concussion symptoms.
He had a vicious fall in the World Cup in Japan two weeks ago in which his knee smacked him in the forehead and left him with a concussion. He said he didn't consider not competing as he's "dealt with worse before." Deciding how much to train and how much to rest was a far more difficult task.
His strategy seemed to pay off as he earned his first World Championship team spot since 2010.
Celski said he felt good, although he developed a headache.
"Be smart and be safe," he said, admitting he developed a small headache near the end of the 3,000-meter race. "I'm happy it's over. It was a long weekend."
He will take a week off and then return to training and the most important part of his schedule.
"I really am looking forward to skating the World Cups again, gaining more experience," he said. "I'm really focused on Worlds this year. It's been a couple of years since I raced at Worlds, and I just want to get a good feel and prepare going into that competition."
This is Celski's first U.S. championship, but it is Gehring's second.
"It was great crossing that finish line today," she said grinning. "I had a lot of pride in every race I did today. Coming across that line in first position was a thrill; I loved it."
Gehring's title performance was something that even she didn't expect.
"I wanted to win the overall, but I didn't know if I was actually going to be able to win every race," she said of a feat she accomplished last year in this event. "So that was a huge accomplishment for myself, because I didn't think I could."
But after winning both races Friday, she began to believe repeating as U.S. speedskating overall champion was a real possibility.
"I started to think more confidently," she said. I was really focused today and wanted to sweep the competition the rest of the weekend. I was able to succeed in that, and this is very exciting."
Gehring won the 3,000-meter race with a time of 5:31.131, edging Emily Scott, who finished in 5:31.285. Alyson Dudek was third with a time of 5:31.563.
In the men's 3,000 meters, Celski won with a time of 4:48.231, while Chris Creveling was second with a time of 4:48.985. Eduardo Alvarez was third with a time of 4.54.947.
The men's World Cup and World Championship team is comprised of Celski, Creveling, Jeff Simon, Alvarez, Kyle Carr and Travis Jayner. The women's team is Gehring, Jessica Smith, Dudek, Emily Scott, Sarah Chen and Kimberly Derrick.
The U.S. long-track speedskating team will compete in the U.S. Championships at the Utah Olympic Oval starting Dec. 27.

The company says it will use the capital to further develop and market its analytics technology, which is designed to help companies like horticultural and landscaping products wholesaler A.M. Leonard better predict customer demand.
Reflection, a provider of web analytics designed to help online companies predict customer demand and present online shoppers with pertinent online merchandising and online marketing, has received $8 million in a second round of venture capital. Leading the funding round are sportswear brand Nike Inc. and Intel Capital, the investment arm of computer chip maker Intel Corp.
San Francisco-based Reflektion will use the funds to continue developing and marketing its analytics technology. So far, it has received a total of $11.3 million in venture capital, a spokeswoman says.
Clients access Reflection's software via the web under a software-as-a-service model. Reflektion says its pricing varies by how often a customer uses its technology but runs approximately $8,000 per month.
Clients use Reflektion's software to learn customer buying habits to predict which merchandising and marketing content—including in site search results, product and promotional displays on web sites and mobile devices, dynamic online pricing, and e-mail and mobile messages—that customers will be most likely to interact with to make a purchase. "We process large datasets in real time and apply patented machine-learning techniques to yield measurable results," Reflektion CEO Sean Moran says.
Reflektion was founded in 2012 by Amar Chokhawala, its chief technology officer, who is a former software developer for search engine company Google Inc. and Oracle Corp., a provider of business software applications.
Moran is a former executive of e-commerce technology company Monsoon Commerce. Prior to Monsoon, Moran was CEO of the new media division of video technology and services company Technicolor, where he worked on in-store marketing and merchandising technology for consumer brands and such retailers as Wal-Mart Stores Inc., Best Buy Co. Inc. and Costco Wholesale Corp. Wal-Mart is No. 4 in the Internet Retailer Top 500, a ranking of companies by their annual e-commerce sales; Best Buy is No. 10 and Costco is No. 16.

7 Worlds Collide
The Sun Came Out
US: 29 Sep 2009
UK: 31 Aug 2009
The phrase "7 worlds collide" comes, within Neil Finn's vocabulary at least, from the song "Distant Sun". On it, Finn sings "seven worlds collide / whenever I am by your side". But the real payoff is a less prominent but just as heartfelt "I offer love". It's with the same largesse that the Crowded House singer-songwriter has curated his 7 Worlds Collide project. The first time around, it was a series of concerts in New Zealand, with the resultant CD/DVD benefitting Medecins Sans Frontieres. That was seven years ago, but many of the artists previously involved have returned, family reunion-style, for the collaboration's follow-up, The Sun Came Out.
This new album was recorded over a couple of weeks around Christmas last year and. Despite the short recording period, we're presented with 24 tracks over two CDs – a substantial achievement. When you consider the caliber of the musicians involved in the project, though – Radiohead's Phil Selway and Ed O'Brien, Jeff Tweedy, Johnny Marr, KT Tunstall, and a variety of Finns – it's perhaps less of a surprise. In spite of their varied musical backgrounds, the artists are here to collaborate, and The Sun Came Out has its own shambling tone. It's music your dad probably hasn't heard, but could well like. And that's how the economics of these benefit albums generally play out. Fodder for Father's Day/Birthday/Christmas gifts, the well-intentioned thought too often ends up unheard under a stack that likely also contains the I'm Not There soundtrack, 1, and maybe War Child.
The feel-good glow of shared love informs both the intent and the content here. The songs across this double album aren't always particularly memorable, but they feel suffused with the warm glow that obviously accompanied the recording process. The O'Brien/Finn jam "Bodhisattva Blues", which comes at the end of the first disc, is exemplary. Set up over a simple blues progression, the song nevertheless succeeds in creating its own jangling uplift.
The family-band feeling of the album is bolstered by the collaborations between members of the Finn family itself. Neil's wife Sharon sings on "Little by Little". His son Liam (an increasing presence in his own right in Australia's independent music scene) contributes throughout, most notably on the pattering duet with his father, "Learn to Crawl". Sharon Finn's limpid voice carries "Little by Little" surprisingly well. "Just make your mother proud," she sings, and you can easily imagine her your own mother, projecting as she does such support and love.
The fact that Phil Selway, until now just a percussionist, wrote and performed his own songs for the first time should interest any Radiohead fan. His voice is smooth and heartfelt, his songs simple and childlike, informed by folk music's idolization of family. But things are slightly twisted. It turns out the "ties that bind us" are "a kind of madness". "The Witching Hour", a subtler acoustic ballad, finds Selway wistful: "those I love will carry me home". Across both songs, Selway shows a graceful, gentle side that we've not seen before.
Despite the fact that the compilation's a bit too long, it's obvious these musicians are in supremely confident form and having a ball playing together. From the opening chimes of Marr's "Too Blue" (which sounds too happy by far for its title) to Jeff Tweedy's relaxed but regretful "What Could Have Been", it's all feelings of good-times, polish-off-a-song-and-have-a-beer. The Sun Came Out might, in time, end up at the bottom of one of those piles. But listen again, and the open-heartedness can be hard to resist.

Motor Upgrade! - Turbo Ace 342 - 3S 4200kv
Motor Upgrade! - Turbo Ace 342 - 3S 4200kv
So i received my Turbo Ace 342 from wow hobbies today, and i got to work on installing it. Unfortunately, wow hobbies web site data was wrong about the dimensions of the motor. I kind of expected that, because it looked bigger in the picture. I managed to make it work still though. The pinion that came with it was a 14T 0.5m pinion for the 1#A. I suppose it would even fly my V450. The motor is the same diameter as the Turbo Ace 804 motor, but it's a little more than half the length. I managed to get the motor installed. I had to modify the bottom frame plate to fit the motor. But otherwise this is a perfect upgrade IMO. The stock motor's 17T pinion has a 2.0mm shaft hole. The new motor's shaft is 2.3mm. Both are "keyed" or "D Shaped". Using a large table vice i force pressed the pinion on the new motor. Using pressure, then releasing pressure, and then pressure again. In small increments. Pressing the pinion on in this manner will reduce the risk of bending the motor's shaft.
My test flights in my driveway went well. It revealed that i will have to tune the gyros and cyclic EXT for how i like with the new power behind the rotor. But i think it's going to be great at the field tomorrow when if i get a chance to go.
4F200C - 3S 4200kv - First test hover
(6 min 25 sec)
4F200C - 3S 4200kv - Audio Tach'ed flight - No bog @ 10.5v
(6 min 38 sec)
Here is a head speed calculation i did. It shows that with this setup i should be getting ~4800 rpm at the beginning of the flight. I'm not sure if the calculator accounts for the 3 blade rotor or any other variables. So this is a close estimate. The audio tach had me at just under 4700rpm.
First 3D flight attempt!

Arrival of the new Turbo Ace 342, 4200kv motor and also the new Turnigy Nano 1.0 Ah packs!
Views: 63
The motor came with with male connectors already attached and 3 female connectors with shrink wrap. It also came with a 14T pinion but the modulus is not the right size. It came with a 0.5m pinion. The 4f200/V200 use 0.3m pinions.

The motor is rather large, which i expected. It has a nice open bell design so i don't anticipate too much heating.

The motor has both 2mm and 3mm mounting holes. Apparently this motor was made to be able to fit 250-400 size helicopters. Wow hobbies sells it, i think, specifically for the 1#A model heli.

These particular Turnigy Nano packs are rated for up to 10C charge capacity. With a loading time like that, i'm not sure if i need to buy more than 3 of these packs!

Turbo Ace 342's diameter is a whopping 35mm! YIKES!! Wow hobbies has the specs listed wrong on their web site! Their site said it was 27.8mm diameter. It's obviously not. Looks like a copy & paste job from another motor listing or something.
Views: 73
Here is a Turbo Ace 804 motor for a 450 helicopter. It is also 35mm! This new motor is just a little bit shorter, but just as fat. I kind of expected that wow's site had the dimensions wrong. Maybe i'll email them about it.

So here's the full line up. Turbo Ace 352 (2S 5200kv) installed in the heli. Starting from the left, we have the stock motor, Turbo Ace 342 (3S 4200kv), and the Turbo Ace 804 (3S 3950kv)

Turbo Ace 352 diameter is 29mm. It's a tight fit in the bottom frame plate as it is.

The new motor is not going to fit without some work.

Busted out the respirator, full face mask and Dremel tool once again. Made the hole bigger. I'm sure with how little material is left on the sides. It will probably just break anyway. This piece is to serve as a cross member support. It should be fine.

The pinion is the stock 4F200 pinion. It had a 2mm "keyed" shaft hole. The new motor's shaft is 2.3mm "keyed". I used a big table vice to force press the pinion on. Using the pressure, release pressure, pressure again method.

There is honestly about as much space between the motor and frame as previously with the Turbo ace 352 and the stock bottom plate. I only expect a problem in a crash. Even then. The motor should be fine.

The 1000 mAh pack fits nicely. It's a little tight under the canopy. But it does fit fine. There is no room on top for my battery alarm anymore though.

On my second test flight, since i didn't have a battery alarm and the motor didn't ever bog on me at all. I ran the pack down to 10.5V! But thats okay because i found a new place to install my alarm! Plus i gained some flight data @ 10.5v

Head speed calculation. I think it does not account for the 3 blade rotor and so it rates in a little higher then the HS i think i'm actually getting. Around 4700rpm at the beginning.

The Chicago Bears' first training camp practice Friday was notable for many reasons, most notably the official start of the Marc Trestman Era. But I was particularly interested in this post from Jeff Dickerson at ESPNChicago.com, who reminds us that Lance Briggs -- and not middle linebacker D.J. Williams -- has taken over defensive playcalling after Brian Urlacher's retirement.
Briggs was calling the defense during spring drills as well, but the intensity naturally ramps up when training camp begins. He admitted to a few mistakes Friday but put the situation in pretty good perspective, I thought.
"I was real comfortable in my role before," Briggs said. "Very comfortable. Now I'm getting comfortable with being uncomfortable."
Typically teams prefer the middle linebacker to call defenses because of his pre-snap position and central proximity to teammates. But the Bears' uncertain lineup beyond Briggs makes him the best candidate for the job. At the very least, they know he'll be on the field. Williams and outside linebacker James Anderson must both fight off rookie challengers for their jobs.
"The biggest adjustment," Briggs said, "is making sure that it's my job to get everybody aligned and ready to play."

Matthew Friedberger
Thrill Jockey
Nov 01, 2012 Web Exclusive
The newest in a series of increasingly academic solo releases from The Fiery Furnaces' member continues to mine the rocky terrain where art and commerce intersect. Matricidal Sons of Bitches takes the form of a grand, four-part, mostly instrumental suite that directly comments on the films of early Hollywood's so-called "Poverty Row," a loose collection of independent studios that pumped out ultra-low-budget films (primarily Westerns and serials). Friedberg's compositions pay homage to these movies while ironically addressing today's media marketplace with contemporary instrumentation and clipped dialog that provide for wild shifts in mood and style. Each section consists of a series of score segments to films that never existed—an onslaught of compact, well-executed thoughts that run one after another like train cars. The album has some of the same dim beauty and ominous spirit of Nine Inch Nails' Ghost I-IV but takes a much more schizophrenic approach. Many of the ideas could easily be expanded into larger pieces, but Friedberger's decision to present them as one massive showcase manages the neat trick of marrying technical mastery with nostalgia and, in doing so, creates some of his most compelling solo work to date.

Facebook working on its own smartphone - out next year claims NY Times
Facebook has hired a number of former Apple employees to work on a new Facebook phone codenamed "Buffy".
The New York Times says "more than half a dozen former Apple software and hardware engineers who worked on the iPhone, and one who worked on the iPad", have been hired by Mark Zuckerberg to work on the project.
According to one Facebook employee, Zuckerberg is concerned that by not producing a Facebook smartphone the social network will "simply become an app on other mobile platforms". The company was previously said to be working closely with HTC over project "Buffy" and though that collaboration may still happen, it now appears Facebook could also be looking at producing hardware itself.
Would a Facebook phone really be anything new? Both INQ and HTC have issued their own "Facebook" phones in the past in the shape of the INQ1 and HTC ChaCha and HTC Salsa respectively.
What's more, with Facebook coming preinstalled as an app on nearly every smartphone it's unclear as to what new attributes an actual Facebook phone would bring to the mix.
Perhaps a new Facebook phone ties in with the news that the company is looking to buy Opera Software, which could in turn create a new mobile platform exclusive to the handset.
Whatever the speculation as to what a Facebook phone may or may not mean, Zuckerberg is said to be aiming to bring project "Buffy" to fruition by 2013.

Focus in Chicago turns to Kane, Toews' contracts
Jun 3, 2014, 10:18 AM EDT
The Chicago Blackhawks weren't able to advance to the Stanley Cup Final for a third time in five years, but they have to feel very good about the team they've assembled. They're still relatively young, deep, and most of their key players under control for at least a couple more seasons — with two notable exceptions.
Patrick Kane and Jonathan Toews will both become unrestricted free agents in the summer of 2015.
It would be shocking if Kane and Toews didn't re-sign with Chicago. In fact, it would be eyebrow raising if their extensions weren't announced by the end of the summer. The bigger question is what kind of raise they'll demand from their respective annual cap hits of $6.3 million.
Toews and Kane are both elite forwards and clutch performers that can basically name their price, but it isn't that simple in the salary cap era, especially now that the new CBA killed the old model of signing superstars to heavily frontloaded long-term deals that kept their cap hits down (read: Marian Hossa and Duncan Keith).
Since the new rules came into effect, Ryan Getzlaf, Corey Perry, Evgeni Malkin, and Claude Giroux have all signed contracts with annual cap hits in the range of $8.25 million to $9.5 million. If Kane and Toews demanded something in that ballpark, the Blackhawks would probably concede. Theoretically, they could try asking for more under the assumption that the salary cap will continue to climb at a healthy pace.
At some point though, it becomes an issue. Pittsburgh has dedicated $18.2 million annually to Malkin and Sidney Crosby and the team hasn't lived up to expectations in recent years, arguably due to a lack of depth.
Carrying players with high cap hits can be problematic, even if their play seemingly justifies the cost. Of the top 10 cap hit players in 2013-14, only one made it to the conference finals (Rick Nash). That number balloons to four in the top-20, but that's counting Marian Gaborik and Thomas Vanek, who were trade acquisitions and therefore not the full cap responsibility of Los Angeles and Montreal respectively.
With that in mind, it will be interesting to see what Kane and Toews demand.

Celtics loaded with All-Stars, but that is not a good sign
Aug 6, 2010, 8:20 AM EDT
Shaquille O'Neal has appeared in 15 All-Star games. He has only danced with the Jabbawockeez at one of them, but he's been to the game a lot.
So have his Celtics teammates — they have 54 All-Star appearances as team. As you might imagine, that is far and away the most in the NBA.
That's a good thing, right? Not according to the Wall Street Journal.
Among the 10 teams since 1991 that had the highest number of All-Star selections heading into a season, only one went on to win the title, according to Stats Inc. Four of them got knocked out of the playoffs in the first round and two missed the playoffs entirely.
Over the same time span there have been 38 teams with at least 20 All-Star selections. Only four of them won championships. Six didn't even make it to the postseason.
Why? Because if you've racked up a lot of All-Star appearances, then you've been in the league a long, long time. You're old. And that tends to catch up with teams.
It didn't catch up with Boston last season (that team had 34 All-Star games between them, but they did lose in the Finals). That was in part due to the young Rajon Rondo, in part because Doc Rivers did a fantastic job during the regular season to rest guys and take care of their minutes so they were healthy come the playoffs. But that challenge will be even tougher for Rivers this season.

Lakers will will at least two more before Kobe retires. Celtics will probably make the playoffs but will not win the championship with the team that they have now. Miami will probably win a couple of championships when Kobe retires.

As I remember the Lakers got 15 fta in the 4th quarter and the celtics got 17 the whole game as i recall it 37 to 17 do the math the refs wanted L A to win..period

Reasonable cost for a family. Lots of interesting things to see. I went with a 16 yr old and two 12 year old girls and we were able to chat all around. Staff were informative and willing to get into debates with the kids. Will be going back again. To make best use start early.
Beamish is a wonderful place - best if the weather is good as there isn't a lot of cover if it is raining. Best part is that the ticket last 12 months. You won't see everything in a day and what you do see will be worth another look later. Everyone was friendly and helpful. No age restrictions - something...
Take a journey back into 1913 - there's plenty to see e.g. the town and the colliery village and the opportunity to go down a "drift" coal mine!!! Not to mention - the dentist's, the solicitors, the shops and garages, and Pockerley Manor ( dating back to the 15th Century and farmed to the 1990's), A perfect place - a...
Absolutely great experience visiting this 'working' museum. The mining area took me back to days of my childhood visiting Grandparents. Very informative and the villagers are all in period dress and act the parts. A lot to take in in one day, however the passes do allow you to revisit during the next twelve months. The Fish and Chips without...
Had an excellent day at Beamish. As soon as you pay and enter the dark room you are sent back to the olden days. Had a great time riding on the trams and buses. Enjoyed by all the family. Great looking around the four areas. Look out for the pink pig that likes to rest his feet on the top...
I have not been to beamish since I was a child, but we went last week just to see if it was as good as we remembered, it was. the staff are so friendly and helpful. the museum takes all day to visit and entry comes with a ticket which can be used for up to a year. we will...
We arrived here at 9.30am .It says 10am opening but we were allowed in.It cost £18 each to get in,but the tickets are valid for a year.This means if you are in the area again ,you can visit again. Which I think we will. You can go on the tram,steam train and buses inside to get you around.They cater for...
Had a great day at this oldie worldy place. It was like going back in time. The town and the pit village were my favourites and the old trams and busses were great. A good experience for all ages.
Having not been for 20 years I was so excited to see if I could remember any of it. It was a brilliant day out for the whole family or for us a group.of really good friends having a great day out catching up. Had a fantastic picnic up at the farm before walking round and trying to see everything...
Plenty of things to seen here staff are very informative and friendly it's great to see what everything used to look and feel like. With lots of things to see we had a great day learning about the past even my two young children enjoyed all aspects of it we can't wait to go back

Even without their No.2, Barbados still think highly of their chances in El Salvador. Seasoned Davis Cup captain Kevin Yarde said the squad had a fighting chance against the higher rated Central American hosts although they would be missing tennis pro Haydn Lewis for next month's Group II tie. "I honestly think we have a pretty good chance of beating El Salvador and the guys seem ready for the challenge, because unlike in Mexico last year, high altitude won't be playing a factor," said Yarde. "I know we'll be playing on clay and it's not exactly our favourite surface, but Anthony [Marshall] has grown up on clay and Darian [King] has become a lot more proficient on clay after playing so many tournaments on that surface. "And we have the comfort in knowing that Darian has recently beaten their No.1, and that guy appears to be more comfortable on the faster surfaces, so this tie might actually hinge on the doubles," Yarde added. Barbados suffered a major blow earlier this month with the news of Lewis' unavailability for the February 1 to 3 tie. Worse, Barbados have managed just a single series win in four previous tries against their hosts, who defeated the Bajans as recently as four years ago in El Salvador. But that was just the second Davis Cup appearance for a then 16-year-old King, who still managed to win his lone singles encounter against Rodrigo Rappaccioli. And the Miami-based King has since established himself as a world-beater, improving to a career best ranking of 482 last month after winning two singles titles and eight doubles crowns in 2012. "I'm confident that Darian will always give us a chance to win ties, and right now, everyone is really ready for the challenge of taking on El Salvador although it is always tough playing away from home," said Yarde. "And the guys are looking nice and sharp right now and everyone is getting in shape while training four to five mornings a week. "Haydn has also joined us as well and he's very keen to assist us and get back playing. "Hopefully, he'll be ready for round two in April, but in the meantime, I still have to decide who will be playing No. 2 singles, as well as the doubles pairing that we will be going with," Yarde said.

For the first time, the retail chain offers a forecast for web revenue.
There's a first time for everything, and for Wal-Mart Stores Inc. that day was Oct. 10 when it said it expects to generate $9 billion in global e-commerce revenue in its next fiscal year, ending Jan. 31, 2014. Wal-Mart, No. 4 in the Internet Retailer Top 500 Guide, in the past has not released online sales forecasts.
Neil Ashe, president and CEO of Walmart global e-commerce, disclosed the figure at Wal-Mart's annual meeting for the investment community. He said the $9 billion projection does not include potential acquisitions.
In August, Wal-Mart received Chinese government approval to acquire a 51% stake in Yihaodian, a Chinese mass merchant retail site with annual sales in excess of $130 million.
Wal-Mart's bricks-and-mortar expansion continues, too. The Wal-Mart U.S. business unit expects to build between 95 and 115 small stores in fiscal year 2014, having built 80 in fiscal 2013. By 2016, Walmart U.S. expects to operate more than 500 of them, Wal-Mart says. Overall, Wal-Mart U.S. will add approximately 125 large stores in fiscal 2013.
Its Sam's Club unit will open nine stores this year and 14 next year.
Internationally, excluding the U.S., Wal-Mart will add between 20 million and 22 million square feet of retail space in fiscal 2014, which is slightly less than the 21 million to 23 million square feet it is adding this year, the company says. U.S. retail space for Wal-Mart stores is projected to grow by 15 million to 17 million square feet in 2014, beyond the 14 million to 15 million the company is adding this year.
In 2011, Wal-Mart's U.S. e-commerce sales totaled an Internet Retailer-estimated $4.9 billion, up nearly 20% from $4.1 billion the prior year. In comparison, Amazon.com Inc., No. 1 in the Top 500, had $48.08 billion in sales.

Gas stations' switch to summer fuel could mean a rise in gas prices
Sorry: your case for gold as a macro (or micro for that matter) economic indicator is a bit simplistic. I'm not going to cite any literature on this , but if you're interested do scholar google search.
The value of gold, or silver, or any other commodity (including oil, gasoline/petrol, most currencies -- except the Huan and a few others, coffee, etc), floats based broadly on speculation within and throughout the world's markets. Supply and demand are one factor in cost/price, but certainly not the only one -- ask Goldman Sachs why they were trying to corner the market for rice a few years ago (the answer is it was a hedge against the price of oil -- a price that they were also complicit in establishing).
In fact, its not exactly safe to establish a linear relationship between oil and gold at all. While you might be right in saying that gold today buys more oil than it did 10 yrs ago, both commodities were and are subject to different upward/downward pressures. Same with the dollar for that matter. In other words, it's not possible to directly compare different time periods on a like for like bases. There are too many other variables that impact a daily price for that. In relation, a Bloomberg analyst I know argues that gold is over-valued at the moment (e.g. not a good long-term bet) because of worldwide economic uncertainty -- speculators are flocking to it.
I'd argue, given that oil is a vital commodity and its scarcity is growing, oil is undervalued and the price/b should be much higher. Of course, given the fluctuations, variables and speculations, its impossible to establish a 'real' value for it -- or for any globally traded commodity. In other words, there is no such thing as a real price for anything: just what someone would pay for it...
All of these questions, however, are academic. The simpler solution, if one is concerned about the price they pay at the pump (all of the other relationships not withstanding), is to buy less gasoline, e.g. drive less, drive a smaller, more efficient car, and do all of the things that the DOE recommends (as cited at the bottom of the article). When people complain about the price of gasoline, I'm reminded of I-Banker friend of mine who was complaining about the operating cost of his new Porsche -- e.g. there's an easy way to avoid having to pay for it.

Waste of time
'Narcissistic' is a big word. Are you sure you know how to use it? I am guessing you meant 'arrogant' or 'conceited' (though the later would be a bit questionable in this context). Perhaps more funding for education and less funding for what used to be called 'witch-hunts' (or hunts in general) is on order?
As for the rest of what you said., you got me -- though in relation to 'fat, white men', if the glove fits...

Kansas Rep. Virgil Peck apologizes for illegal immigrant, feral hogs remark
This 'Peck' guy is barely literate. As someone indicates above: buffoons like this are in charge of the state's budget and law making. If we the the people are the government, and the government behaves like a bunch of uneducated, anti-intellectual morons, who don't even have the good sense to keep their bigotry quiet, what does that say about us?

Waste of time
No wonder Kansas and by extension Kansans is a social, cultural and increasingly economic backwater. I mean seriously? These 'hearings' are nothing more than grandstanding by a bunch of predominantly fat, white, racist men who are trying to sound hard about national security to salvage whatever is left of their political credibility as they take kickbacks from their true base. These same attitudes suggest the we 'Americans' should shoot Mexicans from helicopters to protect our (menial) jobs; fund economically disastrous, and morally bankrupt wars abroad in the names of 'freedom' and 'democracy' for all, while mendaciously and overtly selling out the American people to the relatively narrow interests of high finance.
What makes me sad, as evidenced by 85% of the comments on these forums is that the 'people' not only don't care, but are too stupid to realise that they should care. Though, I guess tragedy and comedy are difficult to tell apart until the end.

Unifying gestures are a start
Wikipedia characterizes Body Count as a 'heavy metal/crossover thrash/punk band'. Ice-T, who at the time was known as primarily a rapper, though was also making early forays into acting, formed Body Count as an amusing, somewhat ironic, side project. I actually own a version of the album that was released before the controversial 'cop killer' graphic was removed from the cover, and upon quick re-listen, it is indeed as Wikipedia labels it (e.g. 'heavy metal/crossover thrash/punk').
You may like a lot of rap, and although you share a lot in common with critics, such mindlessly espousing opinions about subjects you materially know very little about except mundane talking points channeled to you through 24hour news medium , you're not much of a music critic either.
My recommendation is stick to what you know...

Kobach challenging in-state tuition rates for undocumented students
Given I no longer live in Kansas, normally I wouldn't care what agendas and laws a KS state official decides to pursue. However, since it now looks like Kobach may have some national reach, it pains me to think that you idiots elected this nimrod. Well done for proving, once again, that Kansas is a cultural, intellectual and increasingly an economic back water whose only contribution to the rest of the world is wheat and a bunch mean-spirited, greedy white men who fancy themselves as political activists.

Nation must see racist acts for what they are
That Tom Shewmon guy writes at the bottom of a different article:
'Obama feels to his marrow that anyone in the hoi polli who has too much money laying around needs to be handing it over to him. He wants to take it, stamp us all out into mindless, penniless androids so him and his radical progressive bunch can fulfill their Marxist dream of total governmental control with no questions asked. Since whites have most of the money, is this retribution?'
At the same time, at the bottom of this article, he denies that he is indeed racist. I wonder which is true; he's either a racist or a moron. Which is it?

Coming to a cage near you: Mixed Martial Arts hitting local scene
If a PhD student says it, it must be true. Despite claims to knowledge and a supposed cultural 'reading' of a 'social history,' (s)he fails to mention the homoerotic tendencies that this 'sport's' heritage would suggest--tendencies that are generally considered to be implicit in sports like football... What I find troublesome is that while this behaviour is sanctioned and condoned in the name of sport, similar practices in the name of 'togetherness' are openly protested and banned.Frankly, however, if two grown men want to 'grapple' each other in an east Lawrence cage in order to prove their manhood, I say let them indulge their fantasies. But, let me ask--is Coyote's a leather bar?

Man accused in 'Fast and Furious' case to change plea
Jaime Avila Jr. allegedly bought two rifles found at the scene of the fatal shooting of a federal agent
By Jacques Billeaud
Associated Press
PHOENIX — A man accused of buying two rifles found at the scene of the fatal shooting of a federal agent near the U.S.-Mexico border is set to change his plea in the botched government gun smuggling case known as Operation Fast and Furious.
Jaime Avila Jr. faces charges of dealing guns without a license and making false statements in firearms purchases as part of the investigation.
Avila had previously pleaded not guilty.
He is accused of working in a ring accused of buying guns and smuggling them into Mexico for use by the Sinaloa drug cartel.
Authorities say two AK-47 variants bought by Avila were found after a 2010 shootout that killed a U.S. Border Patrol agent.

Despite being a little too simple this game makes me feel really incredibly good. Everything about the aesthetic from the colors to the background to the way the little nightflies act so realistically makes me enjoy every second of playing. Whether or not it was really intentional, you made a game that properly makes the player feel rewarded and motivated to keep going. Good job to you!
gfx - 10 ( i love the music, really funny)
sfx - 9 (realistic sounds, funny sounds)
design - 10 (it seems you passed time and put a lot of effort into it
gameplay - 9 (a bit difficult in some levels, but is all about puzzle, so its ok if it's hard)
Good game and very nice graphics and music.

The U.S. House of Representatives approved by unanimous consent legislation Dec. 10 authorizing the nation's broadcasters to continue analog broadcast of essential information for 30 days following the Feb. 17, 2009, DTV transition.
The legislation, authored by Rep. Lois Capps, D-CA, and Sen. Jay Rockefeller, D-WV, passed last month by unanimous consent in the Senate and awaits signing by President Bush.
The Short-term Analog Flash and Emergency Readiness (SAFER) Act (S. 3663) will allow broadcasters to transmit analog signals informing viewers with an on-screen slide of the DTV transition in English and Spanish and a phone number to call to learn how to receive DTV transmissions. It also will permit broadcasters to transmit on their analog channels the same emergency weather and public safety information broadcast on their digital channels.

Palestinians in Gaza speak of life under Israeli occupation.
"The Islam of Timbuktu was taken hostage"

Violence between India and Pakistan has always made tourism a tough sell in the disputed region of Kashmir.
That situation was exacerbated after a high court ordered hotels in Indian-administered Gulmarg to upgrade their sewage treatment to preserve the area's environment.
More than half the hotels had to empty out their guests to comply with the order.
Most of the hotels have reopened but the rest will have to wait until spring to build the required sewage treatment units.
