Maybe it was the turkey.
On Wednesday night, the Rangers took on the Florida Panthers in a renewed matchup of the week prior where Florida defeated New York 3 - 2 at the Garden.
The effort was there, as they maintained a one-goal lead until late in the third period, and eventually took the game in a shootout on another clutch goal by P.A. Parenteau.
Having defeated Columbus in a 7 - 4 romp the game prior, the Rangers seemed to have possibly turned the corner with back-to-back wins in convincing fashion.
What happened last night may have been a temporary setback as a result of the Thanksgiving break, or it may have been the lackluster effort that has reared it's ugly head on several occasions this season.
Simply put, the Rangers weren't together. With an injury to Wade Redden, Bobby Sanguinetti made his NHL debut, skating for just over 16:00 minutes, but even the Ranger regulars weren't comfortable.
The first goal of the game, by Steven Stamkos, was similar to many goals against this season, as the Rangers scrambled in their own zone, down low on the boards, and lost their coverage in the slot.
The Rangers defensive zone coverage has been a major question mark all season and while the defense can be better, the backchecking positioning has been more of the problem.
Most teams will prefer to keep their wingers high on the point, with the center as a rover to assist the defense. But the Rangers pressure differently, with the wingers going lower in the zone and assisting the defense. The idea here is to overwhelm the opposing forward and look for the turnover, but it leaves the point open.
For more on the Rangers' questionable defensive zone coverage, check out Blueshirt Bulletin Plus tonight.
In addition to positioning, the Rangers also suffered the return of bad penalties.
Late in the first period, Ales Kotalik took a charging penalty which resulted in the second goal for the Lightning and ultimately the game-winner.
Penalties have been moreso a problem this season as the Rangers penalty-killing has been good, but not great, especially with the injuries to Chris Drury and Brandon Dubinsky.
Despite Drury's return, Tampa Bay scored two power play goals as the penalty killing spent more time chasing than positioning.
And stalwart goaltender Henrik Lundqvist didn't help the cause. Unlike his usual-self, Lundqvist looked a little tired and had trouble with his positioning. He was relieved after the fourth goal, midway through the game in favor of Steve Valliquette.
Tonight, the Rangers head to Pittsburgh in a home-at-home with the Penguins. Game time is 7:30 pm.

If there is ever a contest for the law with the most grossly misleading title, the Indian Child Welfare Act of 1978 should be a prime candidate, because the last thing this Act protects is the welfare of Indian children.
The theory behind the Indian Child Welfare Act is that an American Indian child should be raised in an American Indian culture.
Based on that theory, a newborn baby of American Indian ancestry, who was adopted immediately after birth by a white couple, was at 27 months of age taken away from the only parents she has ever known and given to her father.
Apparently the tribe has rights under the Indian Child Welfare Act. If this child were of any other race, a court would be free to decide the case on the basis of whatever was in the best interests of the child. Instead, the child is treated almost as property, contrary to the 13th Amendment that outlawed slavery.
Fortunately, the legal issues growing out of this case are now before the Supreme Court of the United States. We can only hope that the justices will use their wisdom, instead of their cleverness, to decide this case.
The wisdom of Solomon provided a good example many centuries ago, in a case where two women each claimed to be the mother of a child and each demanded custody. Since he did not know who was the real mother, King Solomon said that he would cut the child in half and give each mother her half.
When one of the women dropped her claim, in order to spare the child's life, he knew that she was the real mother. Anyone who would ruin a helpless child's life, in order to assert their own legal prerogatives, or to protect the tribe's turf, raises very serious questions about what kind of parent they are.

WLDR or KNS cams needed
So, I am urgently looking for a set of WLDR or failing that, KNS cams. I've discussed the Enfield Racing cam lobes with him and he won't hear of it, so that's the end of that matter. Fitting cam lobes in that fashion isn't the done thing over here, in the same way that sleeving cylinders sends Americans into a frenzy but British engine builders do it all the time.
I've tried to contact KNS several times over time to establish the shipping costs, with no reply, so no idea how to progress that.
It doesn''t help that the whole project has repeatedly stalled due to my protracted absences overseas in the past two or three years.
So, cams wanted. Any offers welcomed. I'm expecting to be home for 10 or 12 weeks in Jan to March and want to push the whole project to the stage of a running machine.

Welcome to your bi-weekly What Was She Wearing: Answers!, brought to you, as always, by the lovely Allison and Jessica.Jessica Alba
We all crave alternative handbag options to the regular Chanel, Balenciaga, and Marc Jacobs slung on the arms of celebs. This week Jessica Alba obliged us and showed off a messenger bag by a less-typical designer than the above-mentioned big three. The Bing Bang messenger features ruched suede, leather detailing, and a long chain in a successful color mix of black and brown, as seen above Jessica ($745, barneys.com). Steering away once again from the typical in her denim choice, Jessica chose a pair of Lofli jeans in a dark, potassium blue hue ($175, activeendeavors.com). Bless her for bringing more to our jeans and purse menus.
Sarah Michelle Gellar
Sarah Michelle Gellar kept both her hair and hemline short and sweet while out running errands-and readers took notice. You will be happy to know that her black Development dress is currently on sale, making it a perfect purchase for the final days of summer. ($179, bazaaradriatic.com) On one arm she toted around an YSL Muse bag, which retails online in black and chocolate ($1395, saksfifthavenue.com) and on her other arm she wore a gold, pyramid-studded bangle. We found one that looks exactly the same from Topshop ($16, topshop.com) and another by Stacy Lapidus that is available in gold, silver, or rose gold. ($60-$85, stacylapidus.com or Hillary Rush, 323.858.0088) For shoes similar to the ones seen on SMG, try Franco Sarto's Glossy Sandal in Platinum Lizard. ($88.95, nordstrom.com)
Audrina Patridge
It's all eyes on The Hills this week-or on the clothes, rather-from Monday's GOTM with Whitney Port to today's WWSW with Audrina Patridge. For a recent expedition to Les Deux with pals LC and Lo, Audrina wore a Mara Hoffman Seersucker Jumpsuit in black ($275, revolveclothing.com). Audrina's bag is the Catena Small Duffle by Give*. ($610, shopgive.com) Other than the black-and-gold version seen above, it's also available in grey/nickel hardware, eggshell/gold hardware, and flesh/gold hardware. Her peep-toed black heels are the very affordable Seychelles World Ambassador slingback in black patent leather. ($83.95, zappos.com
*Give donates 10% of its net profits to charity, so if you're feeling guilty about buying an expensive bag, this might calm those icky feelings.
Grey's Anatomy star Katherine Heigl is known for favoring classic shapes on the red carpet, so it's no surprise that her personal style follows these lines as well. We received queries about the black, Jackie Onassis-reminiscent dress Heigl recently wore to a lunch with friends in LA. The full-skirted frock is Club Monaco's Jaclyn Dress and is available in stores now. ($199, clubmonaco for locations) The simple dress is a perfect backdrop for her show-stopping strawberry tote, Valentino's Maison Bag. The pin-tucked shopper already has a host of celebrity devotees like Camilla Belle and Bridget Moynahan. It's available in red (as seen on Heigl), bone, and aged silver-all currently available at Neiman Marcus. ($2295-$2395, neimanmarcus.com) As for the shoes, the strappy silver sandals are Christian Louboutin's Metallic Napa Slingback in Pewter. ($770, bergdorfgoodman.com)

Matthew Malicoat, on 02 August 2011 - 09:11 AM, said:
I know that a vet can't shortchange other clients' pets who are scheduled for surgery, and pyometra surgery typically takes longer than a normal spay. But most vets will do their very best to fit in an emergency - not just apologize. What's the reason for the delay? Is Dr. Chalker not there on Wed? Is she totally booked?
Sounds like we need a Plan B, because Sarah can't wait until Thursday, period. Are there any other vets in the practice who could do the surgery sooner?
Edit: Acc to the hospital's website, there are 2 other vets there. I would press (politely) to see if any of the 3 vets will commit to doing the surgery first thing tomorrow morning.

Pyometra is a serious uterine infection that is potentially fatal and can occur in unspayed animals. Spay and neuter -- it's the right thing to do!

Now...IMOMers...I have to promise to help Kim rob that brinks truck to pay her Visa Bill...and I'll be worrying about mine too...but the bottom line is SARAH IS GOING TO SURGERY!!! I am SO HAPPY...Judy

I just got back from the vet not too long ago from dropping off Sarah. They were operating on a cat and then Sarah is up next. First, they are going to go ahead and start some blood work right away. She said if everything looked good then they would proceed. If not, they would call us if there was a problem with the blood work. Haven't heard anything thus far, so I'm hoping that's a good sign and they are proceeding with surgery.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! I can't say it enough. There are no words that can express our gratitude and appreciation. As I told Judy, until Sarah was diagnosed with Pyometra, we had never heard of it or even knew there was such a danger that existed. Had we been more informed and educated, things would be very different today. We have always been in support of spaying and neutering but we didn't realize the importance of it went beyond not getting pregnant. We certainly do now!!
No matter how things turn out with Sarah we will be here to contribute in any way we can in the future. God bless each and every one of you and I don't have any doubt that he will.
I've been up going on 29 hours now so therefore I'm going to go lay down for a few hours until we hear about Sarah. I will keep everyone informed and updated.

A lot of us didn't know, Matthew. IMOM has obviously made a huge difference in the lives of many companion animals, but I especially admire Jacki for using IMOM as a way to raise awareness of the health benefitsof S/N. Once Sarah is past her crisis, one of the best ways you could give back to IMOM is to spread the word in your own community. Use Facebook or whatever means you have to help educate others, so they don't find themselves in the same jam.
It just hurts our hearts to see dogs and cats suffer from something like pyometra when it could have been prevented. Folks like you are open to being educated, but we struggle with how to reach the ones who can't get out of their own way to help the animal they claim to love. Example: I've been trying to convince a resident of our local trailer park to spay her indoor cat, who originally came from the feral colony that we are Trap-Neuter-Returning. She keeps telling me the cat is shy and will be too "stressed." Well, the alternative is, the cat will be DEAD because if she gets breast cancer (chances increase with each heat cycle) or pyometra, there's no way this woman can afford a huge vet bill. I'm offering to transport the cat to the vet...... pay for the spay...... recover the cat at my house....... and transport her back home. How often do you get that kind of offer? Not only won't she take me up on it, but now she's had the nerve to call me bec she's taken in a kitten and wants my help getting it vetted. I already told her I don't do piecemeal S/N: we'll spay this one, but not that one. Unless there's a medical reason not to do surgery (which is very rare), they ALL get done!
Sorry, didn't mean to digress. We are all sending positive thoughts to Sarah for a safe and successful surgery today.

Posted 02 August 2011 - 08:24 PM
It's 8:15PM here in our neck of the woods. I'm so sorry I haven't posted sooner but I just woke up from getting just a few hours of sleep after being up for almost 30 hours straight. However that's not a regret because it was well worth it.
While I was sleeping, Stephanie heard from the vet around 5:00PM. First of all let me say that Sarah has made it through the surgery and is currently stable. Dr. Chalker actually said she did very well. They opened her up and then sewed up the uterus like a ball to prevent any fluid from coming out. They pulled out the uterus and there were no lacerations or anything, so therefore nothing had drained out. Thank God! Now here's the kicker. Normally, the entire uterus in a 40-pound dog will weigh two to four ounces. Sarah's uterus weighed almost 8.5 lbs. Now before anyone starts thinking that it's because we waited so long is why it got so big, I want you all to know that we would never do that. It has been in the last 2 days that she tremendously increased in size. That's why we were so worried that she wouldn't make it to surgery. But I digress. They flushed everything out with saline then an antibiotic. It took 125 stitches inside and out to sew her back up. She'll have to have 25 of those removed because they are not self dissolving. She's out of surgery and they are keeping her pretty much sedated and they are giving her pain meds. She's under 24 hour observation during recovery and most likely will not get to come home until Thursday or Friday. Were not quite out of the woods completely but thanks to God and all you wonderful people, were definitely almost to the clearing. One of the nurses took a picture of her uterus and said she would give me a copy to post online. And of course, we'll take some more pics of the entire recovery and post for all to see during my updates.
I would like to quote to you from a book that is very near and dear to my heart...the bible. I do not cease to give thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers . (Ephesians 1:16) I just want each and every one of you to know how true that is for us. We will always remember this for the rest of our lives and in our prayers we will be giving thanks for all of you every time. Somehow, someway you will all be blessed for this. As I said before, in the future we will continue to be here for anyone that needs us. Thank you so much!!
By the way, if I've failed to thank anyone personally, I sincerely apologize for overlooking you.
More updates to follow so stay tuned.

Sarah's story will help others realize the importance of spaying. I am so thankful that she made it through surgery without any major complications.
Get some more sleep-u have done all u can at this point, so getting ur rest is important. The hospital will take over her care for now.
I know Sarah is having sweet dreams tonight.

Your description of her abdomen suddenly blowing up shows just how important this spay was.
That sudden blow up of the abdomen is exactly how my friend's Ovarian Cancer stage 3C presented itself. Let's hope our experiences will help to save other dogs, cats, and people too. We need to spread the word.
Love, from AJ's Pride and Skeeter's Joy

8.5 lbs...... that's a LOT of infection. Please thank the vet tech for taking a photo that can be shared with others because I truly think that people don't "get it" when you just talk about "uterine infection." They need to SEE what this condition does to a female dog or cat.

Called about Sarah this morning and they said she was alert but still very groggy. They said she is eating and drinking. She does have a slight temperature but they said that can be expected. We're going down to see her around 6 or 7 tonight. After I get home I'll post another update.
Judy that's a great idea. I was thinking of doing that because I read on here on one of the threads that they left a bandanna with their dog. So were probably going to take something of Stephanie's for her.
Talk to you all later.

We will obtain your consent for the collection, use and disclosure of your personal information except where inappropriate. How we obtain your consent (i.e. the form we use) will depend on the circumstances, as well as the sensitivity of the information collected. We may seek your consent orally or in writing. In certain cases, your consent may be implied. For instance, by entering one of our on-line contests, your consent to our use of your personal information to administer the contest is implied by your completion of the on-line entry form. Also, with non-sensitive personal information (i.e. name, address, phone number and e-mail address) where we have a relationship with you or where you have provided this information to us, we may use it for marketing or promotional purposes, such as to send you information about MLSE, its products, services, business, product/service offers and upcoming events until you advise us that you no longer wish to receive such information. For instance, if you purchase tickets to an event held by us, we may continue to use your "non-sensitive" information after the event to communicate with you about future events, offers and promoters that we are involved in unless you "opt-out" of receiving such information. However, when using this "opt-out€™ method of consent, we will provide you with a clear and simple process for having your name removed from such communications.
Typically, we will seek your consent at the time your personal information is collected. Where we want to use your personal information for a purpose not previously identified to you at the time of collection, we will seek your consent prior to our use of such information for this new purpose.
Understand, you may withdraw your consent at any time to any of the uses contemplated in this Privacy Policy. Simply, contact a representative of our Privacy Office at the following e-mail address to have your consent withdrawn: email@example.com. Please note, however, that withdrawing your consent to some of the contemplated uses may render it impossible to continue to provide a service which you have currently requested.

I realize this may be a foreign concept to some people, but there are various reasons why a person may have had their colon removed. Someone close to me has gone through this due to Ulcerative Colitis (similar to Crohn's disease). I also realize that not everyone may want to share this on a forum, but if you or someone you know is without colon and you'd like to share any experience or suggestions related to food and drink while backpacking please feel free to contribute.For example, limiting or eliminating intake of nuts, seeds, and cellulose and increasing fluid intake is usually critical.I don't have any suggestions for foods or supplements that would be of the most benefit for the colon-less but that's part of the reason I wanted to start the thread. Any and all suggestions are welcome, questions too. And, no, colon removal is not a UL trend :)
My friend and neighbour is without her colon. I will ask her next time I see her if you like. She's also a nurse and she might have some insight. I do know that she avoids things like flax.
my father is a gastrointerologist so i asked....here is his opionion:"eat what doesn't cause symptons; usually trial and error by the patient. some think high fiber is better, but some of my patients find it causes more problems. there is no exact science to this stuff"bottom line, i wouldnt try anything NEW on the trail or while out in the wilderness.
Edited by rbeard on 07/29/2010 13:22:37 MDT.
not in that situation, but i would 2nd having a trial at home & bring extra fluids and electrolytes (esp potassium) as the major function of the colon is to conserve fluids. Dehydration is a much more serious issue for such people and most be carefully guarded against. Much will depend on the actual procedure the patient had- was the terminal ileum also taken out? ostomy or reconnected with some sort of pouch etc. Would not think about drinking untreated water.
Sorry for any confusion, I wasn't asking for advice per-se but rather personal (or 2nd hand) experiences.I'm going to guess that anyone without a colon already knows not to experiment with new foods when outside their comfort zone and I wasn't suggesting that of course. I'm just curious if any backpackers here are without colon and if so what foods you/they like to have on the trail. From the looks of it there isn't a large colon-less population here at BPL :)
Part of my large colon is gone. Along with more stuff, so I consider myself technically UL from the inside out. I eat pretty much everything except I watch my fiber intake. Too much and I am in the bushes all day. Too little and I am pretty much doubled over in pain from where I was put back together. But overall, I do this at home as well, so not a problem hiking. I drink lots of water and Nuun in a seperate bottle. I do have my small intestine, so this is probably my saving grace. I like the lighter waist belts because there's no pressure on my gut as much as a thick hipbelt, especially when I bend over.
Hi Donna. Thanks for stopping by to comment. I believe that the "colon" is essentially everything after the small intestine... so if part (or all) of your large intestine is out, then I'd say you can count yourself among the colon-less :)That's an interesting comment about the hipbelt; I never considered that.
Yes, I can feel where they stapled me together (or whatever they did) if I have a thick hipbelt on and bend or any kind of steep climbing like on rocks. But it beats the alternative. : ) As for nuts, I just polished off a can of lime and salt flavored almonds this weekend. Addicting!I also dehydrate my foods now so I know what I'm eating. If I have to resupply somewhere from a store, I get something I'm familiar with. No new foods.

I have Ulcerative Colitis. It Sucks. With that said I'm fortunate to still have my colon but that may change in the future. As a result i have turned away from many traditional backpacking foods.No more nuts, no more Clif-style bars, no beans,etc,etc,etc....In their place I've made the non lightweight decision to carry almost all fresh foods and do most if not all of my cooking in a Banks Fry Bake Pan. I carry more but I eat a whole lot better. Green curry chicken with rice cooked all in the same pan is my new favorite. Unfortunately I'm also taking a lot less 7-8 day trips and doing more overnighters and 2-3 day luxury trips to prevent the possibility of any serious flare ups on the trail.
Hi Eric. Thanks for posting. Sorry to hear that you have UC. Until someone close to me was diagnosed with UC I had never heard of it but since then I have met a lot of people who either have UC (or Crohn's Disease) or someone close to them does.I know post-surgery her quality of life has been much better. On the upside, at least you have a good excuse to carry "real food" with you when hiking. I have a weakness for green curry of chicken too and have been known to freeze it along with pre-cooked white rice for dinner on the first night. It's about the equivalent of having a 5-star meal in the back country! (I guess cooking from scratch would make it a 6-star dinner)

Hi Donna,Sorry to go off-topic, but when I saw your post I couldn't resist... I would be interested in hearing more about these lime and salt-flavored almonds you mentioned. Is this a recipe of yours, or something available commercially? To be honest, I've never heard of such a thing, but sounds deelish...
Hi Chris....I hate to do this and cause an addiciton but, it is from Blue Diamond and they have all sorts of nut combinations. I had the Lime and Chili, and then moved into the salt and vinegar.http://store.bluediamond.com/Bold-Flavors_c_2.htmlBTW, on topic...I can't eat anything with black pepper. I get extreme cramping and then the runs. I don't order chai tea unless I know the brand. Some have pepper in it.
My wife recently finished up the article she put together about backpacking without a colon. The majority of the article is written from her experience. In researching information on athletic performance for those who've had their colon (or other parts of their bowels) removed she discovered that there is very little data on the subject. Essentially, it has not been studied in much depth at all.She consulted with both her surgeon and GI doctor, however they didn't have much additional information to offer.It's interesting to us, because the more people we openly talk about it with, the more we find who have Crohn's or UC, or know someone who does, and many of them are (well... mostly "were" past tense) active as runners or involved in sports and outdoor activities. The basic answer from the Doc's is: you should be able to go back to doing what you were doing when you were healthy, but you'll need to modify your habits to suite your needs. Not much information available on the body's ability to take up water and electrolytes sans-colon. That's essentially the gist of the article, along with some tips on how to avoid mistakes that she/we have made in trying to do too much, too soon. If anyone is interested it's posted on our blog.edit: oops... I guess a link would help...http://hikeitlikeit.com/2011/colon-free-and-loving-it/
Edited by JacobD on 11/14/2011 11:38:38 MST.
Those things are wonderfully addictive! Salt and vinegar, lime and chili, and have you tried the Wasabi? Oh my!!!
I'm watching this thread closely, as my brother in law has Crohn's and this will probably be in his future. I know that the comment about pepper causing cramps rings true. Your wife's article is getting forwarded as I write this. Many thanks to her for writing it.However, on the other topic... The Wasabi nuts are great. They are spicy, but not as hot as some wasabi peas or the wasabi green tea peanuts from Costco. Costco carries a huge size of these blue diamond almonds in wasabi around the holidays. So for a decent price you can score a big can. A win if you like them, but a bummer if you try them and don't like them.The salt and vinegar ones are rocking too. :)

Flashback Dance-Party: 10 Timeless Tracks From 2000 To Get You Pumped For The Weekend (page 4)

7. "There You Go"-[lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Pink[/lastfm]
Back when P!nk actually had pink hair and had an edgier sound which made her uniquely different from a lot of the other pop stars of the day, this was our jam.
What we liked most about P!nk was her mix of R&B, rock, and supremely danceable party jams. We wish P!nk would rock it like her old self, but "sometimes it be's like that."
