POTSDAM - It was homecoming weekend in Potsdam, Oct. 18 - 20. There were lots of visitors in town, not only for the high school football games but also for the college activities.
Part of that celebration was the Potsdam League Tournament involving area speech and debate teams. The hosting Potsdam team welcomed students from five other schools including Madrid-Waddington, Parishville-Hopkinton, Brushton-Moira, Colton-Pierrepont and Franklin Academy (Malone). It has become clearer that each of the visiting teams have the same goal —- to defeat the Potsdam Sandstoners, the defending League champions.
As usual the Potsdam tournament featured many different events for the high school students plus a limited number of categories for the seventh and eighth graders. In addition, this day was the initial session of the Student Congress for the 2013-2014 school year.
On the Modified side of things, there was a full slate of competitors for both prose interpretation and poetry interpretation. In each of these the student selects a piece of poetry or literature, and then presents a reading of the selections.
Such things as pace, volume, diction, emotional components, and voice in general are the issues for the judges to address. And the students take their interpretations very seriously.
In Poetry Interpretation Colton-Pierrepont, Parishville-Hopkinton and Brushton-Moira had students vying for the top prize. It was an exciting contest in this event with only one point separating the winner from the runner-up. When the dust settled from the three mandatory rounds, C-Ps Ben McKinley placed sixth. Haylee Richards from Brushton-Moira eked out the fifth place prize by one point. Fourth place went to Claire Rousell, C-P. Veteran competitor and determined speaker Kaitlyn Wells finished in the medal awards. Kaitlyn placed third and got the bronze medal. First and second place was separated, as was said earlier, by one point. Colton-Pierreponts Grace Rousell earned the top prize this day besting her nearest competitor, Alexis, Follett Brushton-Moira. Alexis took home the silver medal.
In Prose Interpretation many of the same competitors from the Poetry round appeared to vie for the top spot. Brushton-Moiras Haylee Richards grabbed the points to earn sixth place. She was followed in fifth place by C-Ps Cole Richards. Kaitlyn Wells, Parishville-Hopkinton, placed fourth. Madeline Rousell, C-P, garnered the points to place in the medals. She got third. Second place went to newcomer Emily Bracy, Madrid-Waddington. The judges were quite convinced about the first place winner. She outscored her opponents this day by a wide margin. The gold medal went to Brushton-Moiras Alexis Follett.
In the high school events, they started with Oratorical Declamation, a category in which the student selects a speech originally offered in public by another person, memorizes the speech and offers their rendition of the message. Usually these selections are comedic or political or inspirational. And the students take their presentations seriously.
The final standings in Declamation showed Colton-Pierreponts Theodora Moore in fifth place, Franklin Academys Cassie Florio in fourth place, and C-Ps Katie Johnson in third. The struggle between first and second lasted the whole day.
First one student had the lead, then after the next round, the opponent had the lead. When the dust settled from the final round, Framklin Academys Josh Oshiro grabbed the gold medal, besting his determined competitor from Potsdam, Anna DeRosa, who took home the second place award.
Moving on to the other event reserved for ninth and 10th graders, JV Oral interpretation took center stage. Eighteen students competed in this event during which each student would be required to present a piece of literature in one round and then switch to poetry in the next. This alternating pattern would continue throughout the tournament.
The final six positions were shared by the students from three different schools. Potsdams MJ Weirich, a newcomer to this event, placed sixth. He was followed by Colton-Pierreponts Claire Jenkins. Franklin Academys Josh Oshiro and Sandstoner Dan Chichester tied for the rhird place. Anna DeRosa fell just short of the top prize, but took home another second place medal. The gold medalist this day in this event was Franklin Academys Cassie Florio.
For their efforts Ms. Florio, Ms. DeRosa, Mr. Oshiro, and Mr. Chichester all earned half state bids. Anna DeRosa had already won a half bid so she is now, invited to the New York State Tournament to be held in Oneonta in April 2014.
On the varsity side of Oral Interpretation ,many of the juniors and seniors came out to offer their renditions of various prose and poetry. Veteran Alyssa Ryan, Madrid-Waddington, returned to competition in a big way. Her performances earned her the top spot of the day. Brian Timmerman, Potsdam, grabbed the runner-up spot. C-Ps Alyssa Santa Agueda took third. Fourth went to P-Hs Shawntell Courtney. Colton-Pierreponts Andrew Jenkins took fifth and Potsdams Ivan Jukic rounded out the top six finishers.
Duo-dramatic interpretation is always competitive and entertaining. Potsdams Brian Timmerman and Noah Chichester bested the group with a selection entitled, The Thing. Who knew?
In second place was the team from Colton-Pierrepont comprised of Alyssa Santa Agueda and Andrew Jenkins. Malones partners, Christian Benware and Durant, took third only one point behind the second place finishers. Colton-Pierreponts Claire Jenkins and Katie Johnson placed fifth, and the local team, brand new on the circuit, MJ Weirich and Michael Hobbs, grabbed the sixth place. Their rendition of Whos On First ? is quite entertaining but it still pales to the original by Abbott and Costello.
Moving to the debate arena the students continued to debate the resolution, Unilateral military force by the United States is justified to prevent nuclear proliferation.
Five brave teams faced off in a round robin affair. There were some good debates; others showed promise but will require some review of the basics. It is amazing to hear how the students have assimilated the news data from around the world and try to apply it in their debate presentations.
Each debate ought to encourage a team of debaters to review their own case to see how to improve it for the next competition, especially if the topic of discussion is to be the same as the previous one.
This day the blue ribbon went to the new team from Madrid-Waddington, Cassidy Scott and Lawrence. They had a perfect day with no blemishes on their record. Following them was the team from Potsdam, Ivan Jukic and Dan Chichester. These lads lost only once to the eventual winners. Third place was earned by Franklin Academys number one team of Christian Benware and Adelynn Murphy. Potsdams second team, Lucas Byrd and Dominic Frascatore, did an admirable job for their first combined effort in the debate arena. Malones team of Donovan Connelly and Jacob Sprague, finished in fifth having endured their baptism with fire today.
The Master Speaker for the day, that student who amassed the greatest number of points from their two event presentations, was Potsdams Brian Timmerman. Colton-Pierreponts Alyssa Santa-Agueda racked up the points to place second, a mere three points behind the eventual winner.
The tournament scores reflected that Potsdam would not be thwarted this day. They outlasted, barely, the two nearest competitors, Franklin Academy by 11 points, and Colton-Pierrepont by 29 points.

Questions about this product (7)
Anna, 8 Aug 2012
Will you be making the Jonah 2 Seater Sofa, Sunshine Yellow as a 3 Seater anytime soon?
Made Customer Services, 8 Aug 2012
At this time the Sunshine Yellow Jonah is only available as a 2 Seater. However, we are constantly updating our stock and will be sure to take customer requests into account when looking at which new products to bring to our site.
David, 12 Aug 2012
We are concerned that the Jonah 3 Seater Sofa won't fit through the narrow hallway into our flat. Is it possible to take the legs off so that delivery might be easier?
Made Customer Services, 12 Aug 2012
Almost all of our sofas are delivered with the legs detached to allow for easier delivery. To see what the total height of the sofa will be at the time of delivery, check out the packing dimensions above on this page.
Fraser , 31 Jan 2013
I am about to purchase a Jonah 2 seater in sunshine yellow but i would prefer to have darker legs than the birch, i see that different versions of the Jonah come with darker legs and therefore is it possible to swap them?
Made Customer Services, 31 Jan 2013
Each version of the Jonah range is only available with the legs as depicted for that particular colour on the site, we are not able to exchange legs for a darker or lighter alternative.
Emma , 28 Nov 2012
Can I remove the covers for cleaning? Are they machine washable?
Made Customer Services, 28 Nov 2012
The seat cushion cover can be removed, the main body cover is fixed. Most spillages can simply be removed with a soft cloth. The covers are not machine washable and should be cleaned by a professional upholstery cleaner.
Debbie, 20 Nov 2012
It's hard to judge the comfort of the chair / sofa. Is it an everyday family comfortable sofa?
Made Customer Services, 20 Nov 2012
This is definitely a comfy sofa and it is intended for everyday domestic use. It would be great for relaxing into.
Victoria , 6 Jan 2013
Could you please advise me of the height of the arms on the Jonah sofas?
Made Customer Services, 6 Jan 2013
The distance from the floor to the top of the arm is 63cm.

Is the seat cushion on the Jonah sofa upholstered underneath? Can it be turned over to prevent over- sag in one area?
Made Customer Services, 27 Mar 2012
The Jonah Sofa cushions are shaped to fit the curving lines of the frame and are held in place with velcro so cannot be turned over. The cushion cover is upholstered underneath in a black fabric.

Sodas and fancy coffee drinks may be adding hundreds of additional calories to people's daily intake, new research suggests.
Findings published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition reveal that Americans consume around 300 calories a day from sweetened beverages, HealthDay News reports.
And the caloric intake has risen over the past two decades. According to the data, people are drinking approximately 50 extra calories per day, compared to the 1980s.
Study author Sara Bleich suggested that cutting down on mochas, sodas, smoothies, energy drinks and similar sweetened beverages could provide "an easy way" to shed unwanted pounds – at a rate of around 2.5 pounds a month for the average person.
She said that availability and sizing have contributed to the increase in calorie intake.
"Sugar-sweetened beverages are everywhere. And the container size has increased, so that on any given consumption occasion, people are drinking more," Bleich explained.
Meanwhile, the latest data from the Bureau of Health Statistics indicates that 34 percent of Americans now qualify as obese.

LukeScottsShotgun wrote:MVO is probably Guthrie. Could make an argument for Jones, Markakis, Scott, or Wigginton though. If we had Koji for a full season, he probably would have been the MVP.
Guthrie has 10 wins, and could end up with 12-13 if he keeps it up for September/October. No saying how many more starts he has exactly, all depends on the fidgeting of the rotation for the last few weeks of the season now.
Definitely have arguments for Markakis, Scott, and Jones. Wiggy only based on his saving us earlier in the year, but his current stats would never support it. Scott beats him out in average and homeruns, while Wiggy has 2 more RBIs. Jones' numbers are a bit behind both of these guys, though his average is higher than both. Wiggy's sits at .249, which in my opinion would be a sad average to see for a player of the year award. Also, while people bash Jones for his K rate, he actually only has one more than Wigginton (106 to 105) in 3 less at bats. So while both guys need improvement there, the bashing of Jones for his Ks needs to be put on Wigginton as well.

MASSENA A Massena native, Lt. Col. Michael P. Shoen, will be featured in a 60 Minutes report Sunday on the Guantanamo Bay detention center.
Col. Shoen, 44, is the deputy commander of the U.S. military installation in Cuba. Sundays broadcast will include inside footage of the facility where 164 terrorism suspects have been detained following the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. The program airs at 7 p.m. on CBS.
Col. Shoens father, Mac, Massena, said his son is expected to be deployed for one year.
He went there in July of this year. He was to stay until December, Mr. Shoen said. It appears now that he will be there until next July.
The detention center was set up on the U.S. military base in January 2002 to hold suspects captured in the war on terrorism. It has been the subject of severe criticism within the U.S. and abroad. Despite President Barack Obamas earlier promise to close it, it remains open amid a debate about how to put the terror suspects on trial.
In November 2012, the Senate voted to prevent detainees from being transferred to the United States.

The power of meaningful conversations to clarify a path forward
We struggle in organizations to clarify objectives and future directions. We are working in complex adaptive systems that are ever changing and uncertain, and our ability to foresee the future, establish goals, and work toward them in a linear way, is difficult, if not impossible, in organizations today. At the same time the challenges before us...
"Reopening Spaces" for African Women Cultural Leadership for Social Transformation – Part 1
Queens. Queen Mothers. Princesses. Chieftaincies. Women Cultural Leaders. Royalty. These are terms and concepts I have encountered in folklore, books, music, history lessons and most prominently in the media with the most visibility perhaps being placed on the British monarchy. As far as I know, my community of birth -- Gusiiland, Kenya -- did not...
The Anatomy of Trust
We may find it hard to define but we certainly know when we lose trust with either a person, group or an organization. When we lose trust we withdraw our energy and level of engagement. We go on an internal strike, not wanting to give to the other person who has hurt or wrongly treated us (according to our values). We may not show it overtly, but...
What happens when a family owns a large business over generations?
Why was the sale of the Washington Post such a media event when struggling businesses are sold every day? Attention was paid because of the special nature of the business—a corporation owned and controlled by a very public family who had put their stamp on it and upheld their values, over four generations. While the paper remained profitable...
Reflections on Collaboration Gleaned from a Dialogue with OS Program Students
Organizations are dynamic interactive human social networks. Ecosystems of relationships enabling knowledge and practical wisdom to be applied so organizations can reach their mission and serve their clientele are the heart and soul of contemporary organizations. Increasingly, collaborative workplace systems are the preferred organizational model...
Collaborative Organizational Cultures: "Belonging" to the Entire Organization
In past blogs, I have explored the notion of an organization's "collaborative advantage" and outlined core attributes of organizational collaboration. Effective organizational collaboration is more than strategic tactical measures that produce results. It is not just a way of acting or behaving, but a way of being. Collaboration...
Givers, Takers and Matchers, and Their Impact in Organizations
Bill Gates stated at the World Economic Forum in 2008 in Switzerland, "there are two great forces of human nature—self-interest and caring for others." It is easy to understand the impact of giving and taking at a global scale. Our world leaders show us the results of both. Mother Teresa, Gandhi, and Martin Luther King amply...
Conscious, Aware Humans and Human Systems
This is not a book review. It is more like a question that I put out to all who read this. I think it is an important question, because it addresses the Saybrook OS PhD enterprise, as well as our roles and relationships with the world in which we live. The question is prompted by an essay/book review that I am writing for Integral Leadership...
Learning to Work and Manage Virtually
The decision made by the CEO of Yahoo to order all employees working virtually back into the office was an unfortunate indication of how little we have learned about working in a virtual world. Sad, given that people have been doing this for over a half century. I was fortunate to work for a company in the 1970s that was progressive on flexible...
The Workplace: Individual Contribution or Community
Marisa Meyer--new CEO of Yahoo and a new mother--took a strong stand on a debate about the nature of a progressive, employee-valuing and innovative workplace. Emulating her former employer Google she decreed that Yahoo employees were now required to be present in person and working together. She feels that a creative and high performing workplace...
MBSR (Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction) in Organizations
I was pinching myself last Sunday when I joined the MBSR community from Northern California in San Jose. The gathering met with MBSR founders Jon Kabat-Zinn and Saki Santorelli and renowned MBSR and Vipassana teacher Bob Stahl for the day, exploring what is going on with MBSR and what is emerging. Evidence gathered with over 20,000 participants...
How can we best support cross-organizational collaboration?
It seems that many of the conversations I am engaged in these days focus on the need for organizations to collaborate. When I first started working in the area of collaboration, the focus was on creating cultures in organizations that supported people in collaborating across their often siloed functional structures. Maybe that was the...

The Catalina: A Perfect Bed For Small Dogs
Tiny dogs need a place to relax in style. The Catalina bed is made specifically for the comfort of small dogs. Comfy. Cozy.
Now available in the Classic Faux Suede or the Catalina Plush which combines faux suede with a soft Berber fleece.
Catalina Bed: Built To Last
The Big Shrimpy Catalina Bed is made to last, using 420 denier nylon for its base and luxurious faux suede or soft fleece for its sleeping surface.

Residents of an Orlando condo complex fed up with owners not cleaning up after their pets are using a high-tech way to catch the culprits, taking DNA from the dogs.
[SEE THESE? Tattoo spell check | Worst ink ever | Florida mug shots]
The Vue at Lake Eola in downtown has received numerous complaints about tenants leaving their dog's droppings at a pet park on the seventh floor of the condominium.
The building is hiring a company called PooPrints to collect DNA samples from the dogs. Technicians will swab the dogs' mouths and then match that DNA to the feces.
It will cost pet owners about $50 per dog to register them with PooPrints.
If a tenant is caught not picking up after their dog they could be fined $100. Repeat offenders could be evicted from the building.

Noted hard-partier Andrew WK is hosting the new, explosion-filled Destroy Build Destroy on Cartoon Network.

Zach Galifianakis is sittin' pretty once more after this weekend.As Jeffrey Tambor said to him and Justin Bartha in The Hangover, "Never leave when you're on a heater." Well, The Hangover's heater continues, as it took top spot once more with an estimated $33.4 million. The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3 opened up at #3, disappointing for the studio, but in line with Screen Junkies readers' predictions. Eddie Murphy's Imagine That opened with a paltry $5.7 million and the #6 spot. Sadly, this probably means Norbit 2 has been fast tracked. This Weekend's Top Five:1. The Hangover ($33.4 million)2.

Teaser for Michael Moores UNTITLED BAIL OUT DOCUMENTARY – Watch more Funny VideosThe new teaser for Michael Moore's Untitled Bailout Documentary has arrived, and it doesn't give too much away, other than Michael Moore's angry again. "Angry Moore" is really evident here. He breaks out his classic sarcastic Moore voice, bringing his pitch up an octave while gently coaxing the audience to bend over for the banks. "This time it's personal" reads the text at the end of the trailer. This time, I believe it. Kudos to Moore's marketing team for borrowing the tagline from Jaws 4: The Revenge. [via The Playlist]
Fifty Dead Men Walking Trailer – Watch more Movie TrailersAbove is the trailer for the new thriller, 50 Dead Men Walking, based on a true story. Jim Sturgess plays Martin, a guy from west Belfast in the late 1980s who is recruited by the British Police to spy on the IRA. He works his way up the ranks as a volunteer for the IRA whilst feeding information to his British handler and saving lives in the process; until one day he is exposed, captured and tortured to within an inch of his life. He escaped dramatically by throwing himself from a tower block window and is still in hiding today. Hopefull the movie isn't completely true, or else I just ruined a key plot point.

The new music video – or "clip" – for Linkin Park's "New Divide" from the Transformers Revenge of the Fallen soundtrack was released – or "dropped" – on myspace today. You can check it out after the jump. It has a few shots from the film that many of us haven't seen – or "peeped" – yet, including some shots of what looks like Bumblebee fighting Ravage. In traditional soundtrack music video fashion, the film moments are intercut with shots of the band performing. And it's Linkin Park, so the whole thing's like a giant battle to see who can out-melodramatize the other. Lyrics are also posted after the jump. What they have to do with GIANT F**KING ROBOTS is anyone's guess.
BY THE ANVIL OF CROM! Usually, news about a guy who's made a career out of directing remakes is not very exciting; it's kind of annoying. The knock on them is obvious: they're never as good as the source material, and they're usually flashy flicks that lack substance. That's what makes this piece of news so darned interesting. It was announced that Marcus Nispel, the guy who remade both The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Friday the Thirteenth, is on board to direct a remake of Conan. Yeah, it's a lackluster little bit of information but it's good news. Why? Because now we know Brett Ratner isn't touching the movie any more.
In an interview with Marketsaw – a blog devoted entirely to 3D filmmaking – Steve Schklair, the CEO of 3ality Digital Systems claims that Lord of the Rings helmer Peter Jackson will be shooting all of his directorial efforts using 3ality's technologies. You can read the whole article at Marketsaw. Sites like ScreenRant suggest that Jackson's devotion to 3D from now on will help shift exhibitors over to the 3Dark Side, which they have been reluctant to do because of retrofitting costs and the lack of 3D movies. Personally, I'm a fan of 3D technology, from the the way UP used it organically in the story to the stuff that's used shamelessly by films like My Bloody Valentine 3D. Part of me wishes Drag Me to Hell had been in 3D. Some of the film's shock moments are perfect for the third dimension. Here's hoping that Jackson considers going into his back catalogue and 3D-ifies flicks like Meet the Feebles and Dead Alive. I can't think of a more visceral theatrical experience than an AIDs-ridden rabbit vomiting forth upon the audience in the movie theater and the audience in the film. That's, like, sooooooo metaaaaaaaaa… Meet the Feebles Vomit – Watch more Funny Videos
In general, when it's time to kick some ass, it's time to kick some ass. Forget what you're wearing and get ready to rumble. This philosophy has been adopted throughout the entire history of cinema, the most recent example being seen in last weekend's #1 film, The Hangover. Above: Mr Chow (Ken Jeong) makes a balls-out attack on Phil (Bradley Cooper). Chow's balls are fully out in the theatrical release. But what about other scenes, guys who find themselves fighting in outfits that strike us today as either ridiculous or insanely awesome, or most likely, both? Superheroes, of course, would be cheating, because we all know they almost always look nuts cleaning up the city in their plastic nipples and oversized codpieces.

THE HURT LOCKER – The Way You Dont Die Clip – Watch more Movie TrailersIn the latest released clip from Summit's upcoming war flick about the military's bomb squad in the Middle East, Colonel Reed (David Morse) gets Staff Sgt. Wiliam James (Jeremy Renner) to open up about just how many bombs he's blown up working for the EOD. I've seen the film and when put in the full context of the story, even this little dialogue piece is tense. I kept thinking Renner's character was gonna get the sh*t chewed out of him by Morse for being a loose cannon. Turns out Morse's character's a bit of a wildman himself, I guess.

CHop Shop from REVENGE OF THE FALLEN – Watch more Movie Trailers This same scene has been available in German for about a day now and… I think I liked it better when I had no idea what 'Wheelie' was saying. It's the first time the majority of us have heard the pesky little Decepticon's English-language voice and he comes off like some comedian working the room up in the Catskills. I hope Revenge of the Fallen takes time to explain how some of the Transformers came to adopting regional colloquialisms and accents, unlike the first film. I kept waiting to see the deleted scene from that one where Jazz crash lands on Earth and immediately devours every Wayans Brothers movie he can get his giant metal hands on. Word up, Optimus!
The interweb was aflurry all morning with rumors that GI Joe: Rise of Cobra director Stephen Sommers had been taken off the movie and locked out of the edit room. The reason? According to some, the film was testing the lowest a film from Paramount has ever tested. And Paramount put out Britney Spears's Crossroads. Well, turns out rumoring is half the battle (G.I. JOOOOOE!!!), because Movieline.com reports – with 100% assurance, mind you – that the whole story is bullsh*t. Read Movieline's investigative report here. I'm a fan of the original Mummy. After that, I can't say I've been in love, infatuated, or even vaguely felt anything like an emotion toward Stephen Sommers's films. In fact, I think I remember my therapist chastising me for "putting up a wall" when he asked me if he should go see Van Helsing opening weekend. So it's not surprising that there were rumblings of Sommers being scrutinized for his approach to filming a beloved '80s property.
This Friday, The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3 opens and marks the first time two of cinema's larger-than-life icons star opposite each other. Both born in 1954, John Travolta and Denzel Washington have had storied, if not tumultuous careers. We've decided to map out their careers like New York MTA maps train routes in the hopes it will shed some light on the box office success of 'Pelham. Is their train right on time or did it just miss the station by a New York Minute?

I want so badly for the German dub to refer to Optimus Prime as David Hasselbot. Two new clips from Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen just surfaced on the 'nets today, and you're in for some real spoilers, if you speak German. Otherwise, it's just a lot of robot carnage. I hate missing all the nuances in Michael Bay films… Check out this clip, where Tyrese says, with great gravitas, "Oh, nein!" as the Decepticon known as Demolishor shows off how accurate Transformers are with their etymology.

Remember when I said they'd make a Commando sequel before they'd reboot the film? I lied. Actually, I never said anything about anything. But the rumors have started flooding in, and Slashfilm has found several instances of corroborating evidence that indeed, a Commando sequel just might be in development… and that it might have a star already willing to take up the John Matrix mantle. The trail of clues starts in Australia, where, according to JoBlo, there's an article in a magazine called RCI that simply states a remake is being developed. Okay. But what of it? I heard Fox just optioned the remake of Tom Rothman's dream he had last night, a dream that was essentially a reënvisioning of Garfield 2. But there's more. CineFools.com also has picked up on the possibility that Dwayne Johnson is attached to the film already. I don't know how I feel about this. I think I have to meditate on it by watching the GREATEST opening credits sequence of all time… from the original Commando. You can watch it, too, after the jump.

Above is the first official look at Mickey Rourke as baddie "Whiplash" in Jon Favreau's Iron Man 2: Our Secrecy Has Become Self-Parody. Originally, the character of Whiplash was female, but has since been reënvisioned as a dude whose real name is "Marc Scarlotti" within Marvel's Ultimate line of titles. Here's a pic:On the downside, the Rourke version of Whiplash kinda looks like a pirate from the future. On the upside, the Marvel comics version of Whiplash looks like DC Comics' Bane character. And something tells me that the image of Rourke is pre-official costume. That "something" is the official Iron Man 2 Whiplash concept art, which you can see after the jump.

ISLANDERS 5 PENGUINS 3 All of your secondary scoring in one convenient game
Is there is anything better than beating the Pittsburgh Penguins? I guess if you can watch them melt down and get frustrated that's the icing on the cake.
The Islanders got scoring from Frans Nielsen (2g, 1a), Kyle Okposo (1g 1a), and Josh Bailey (3a) as well as a goal a piece from David Ullstrom and Michael Grabner to break two streaks; their own 13 game road losing streak in Pittsburgh (dating back to 2007) and the Penguins own 10 game home winning streak. Where was this all season?
Not that it was easy. The official shot totals look like an Islander team that got lucky being outshot 54-25 (*officially), but personally, I was skeptical of the count in the middle of the second and Islanders' color man Pat Flatley indicated that there may have been some "home cookin" involved on those counts.
Speaking of home cookin (bad pun alert), one Matt Cooke appeared to be up to his old antics perhaps buckling under the pressure of the #MoulsonForByng movement. Tonight's first infraction looked to be a possible headshot on denenseman Mark Streit. Apologies for the quality of the video as it looks like I taped it with a stone tablet. In additional elbows, here is the reformed man gaining the Islanders zone offsides, trying to fire off a shot anyway, then elbowing Andrew MacDonald, then Travis Hamonic. Nothing really happened to him which is unfortunate, so enjoy Evander Kane instead.
The Isles withstood an early second period barrage that saw the Penguins tie the game on goals from Tyler Kennedy and James Neal. The action was so furious that Islanders coach Jack Capuano actually used his time out (between the 1st and 2nd goal) to calm the team down.
In the third, Penguins coach Dan Bylsma went to Capunao's playbook and pulled his goaltender Brad Thiessen (no relation to Tiffany-Amber that I'm aware of) with 5:00+ minutes left for an extra attacker during a Penguin 4 on 3 power play. The move paid different dividends as Neal notched his second of the game (37th of the season) to pull the Pens back within two, but that's as close as they got. Marc-Andre Fleury did not come out for the third period because he took a Paul Martin elbow in the second. It can be assumed that he had some symptoms, but as of this writing, I have not seen official word.
The Islanders didn't escape this game unscathed. Neither Evgeni Nabokov or David Ullstrom returned for the third period. There was no immediate word on Ullstrom, but Nabokov is said to have a "lower body injury" stemming from stumbling over a Penguin that was in his crease as he tried to push off. While you never want to have injuries and you never want to root for losses, this can only help the draft effort. Nabby basically put in a full days work in two periods anyway making 30 saves on 32 shots (*officially) in his two periods. He looked better than his last couple of weeks tonight.
The Penguins are here on Long Island Thursday looking to get some revenge and continue their push toward first overall in the conference.
Noticings: (Streaks and Info)
- Newsday's Arthur Staple noted that this was Josh Bailey's first career 3 assist game. Also, in his last 13 games, he is 4-7-11. That is roughly the same time period since Brian Rolston left.
- Eric Hornick noted that Frans Nielsen finished the night a +4 which is a career high.
- Sidney Crosby whines to referees a lot. Exhibit one; to get a call. Exhibit two; when he gets called. I thought he was wrong on both personally. Gotta love Butch "that's why Crosby will never win a Lady Byng…" I'm sure he's fine with those other trophies.
- Jordan Staal nailed JT91 pretty good, but I feel like Tavares turned last second on this one. Matt Martin came out for his next shift and hit a lot of people. Good show kid.
- During a play stoppage, the broadcast team reviewed the asbestos situation with a statement from the deputy county executive saying the air quality results are satisfactory and pose no risk to employees or patrons.
- A quality win against a
fullymostly armed (Letang out) opponent in a playoff race challenging for the first seed and home-ice advantage is a nice statement. It would have been nicer if they weren't all but completely eliminated from contention, but if it can be built on, well ok…I'd still rather have a high draft pick now, but I like winning too. Being a fan is hard.
- PA Parenteau getting under Crosby's skin was great to watch.
- Seeing the goalies get run in games where Pittsburgh is losing seems pretty familiar. It's unfortunate that Hamonic has that cage on still…and nobody else on the blue line to clean house.
- In the first period in particular, it seemed like the defensemen were carrying the puck exceptionally deep in the offensive zone and on a couple of occasions even forechecking. That was so very Scott Gordonish. Seemed to be a strange tactic against a team as offensively gifted as the Penguins.

text: Django Unchained 18 Quentin Tarantino (2012) US 158 min Facebook Twitter Google Tumblr Pinterest Blogger Reddit VKontakt Print Email Play clip Film Review Reviewed By Alan Jones 4 out of 5 Director Quentin Tarantino follows up his Oscar-winning war homage Inglourious Basterds with this playfully audacious mix of spaghetti western lore, Teutonic legend, blaxploitation stylings and revisionist American history. It's a wildly thrilling swagger through the good, bad and ugly sides of slavery, with Jamie Foxx as the slave-turned-bounty hunter who's on a mission to rescue his wife from a brutal Mississippi plantation owner (played by Leonardo DiCaprio on top villainous form). Ferociously overindulgent in that trademark Tarantino way, but acceptably so because he knows which genre movies to lovingly recycle (Blazing Saddles and Mandingo to name but two), the film is blessed with often enthralling dialogue, surreal plot twists, a film buff's dream of a supporting cast and a soundtrack that acts as another melodious Morricone tribute. Christoph Waltz (who deservedly won an Academy Award) gives a brilliant performance of ruthless charm personified as Django's German mentor, but the real surprise here is Samuel L Jackson's skin-crawling portrayal of DiCaprio's manipulative head servant. Plot Summary Premiere. A slave named Django is tracked down by eccentric German bounty hunter Dr King Schultz, who offers him his freedom in exchange for help bringing three criminals to justice. The unlikely allies continue their partnership after the job is done, and fight to rescue Django's wife from a sadistic plantation owner. Quentin Tarantino's Oscar-winning Western, starring Jamie Foxx, Christoph Waltz, Leonardo DiCaprio and Samuel L Jackson.

Dominican Republic Fairtrade producers rally to support their Haitian neighbours
Click here to read an update on the relief effort from FLO's Liaison Officer in Haiti.
Although more and more aid is finding its way through, conditions in Haiti are still incredibly difficult. However, even in this time of sorrow and disaster, there is hope. Fairtrade producers in the Dominican Republic are rallying together to help Haiti, and their efforts are being gladly received by Haitian producers and families.
Almost immediately after the earthquake struck, Fairtrade staff and producers in the Dominican Republic began looking for ways to help their Haitian neighbours. FLO's Liaison Officer in the Dominican Republic contacted the country's Fairtrade certified producers, all of whom offered their support. Some producer groups who had easy access to funds were able to send supplies straight away. Then on Tuesday this week, 26 people representing 17 producer organizations met to discuss next steps. All of them committed to help, both short and long term. Key action steps included obtaining a list of supplies needed from FLO's Liaison Officer in Haiti, sending much needed supplies of water, food and medication, and opening an account for donations. There are also many reports of individual producers sending supplies across the border to Haiti.
FLO's Liaison Officer for Dominican Republic summed up the mood by saying:
"We are very happy about the show of solidarity by producers and exporters from the Dominican Republic and also about the great expression of sympathy of the Dominican people in general. We are just trying to be good neighbours and be the first ones to come to the aid of the Haitian people."
In addition, FLO has offered symbolic financial support for FT producers and their families and for FLO/FLO-Cert staff in Haiti. Our Liaison Officer has arranged food kits for about 100 families, which will help bridge the gap until the next delivery from the Dominican Republic.
Back in Haiti, producers and their families are still trying to come to terms with the horrific events of the last weeks. Some of our producers in the South were directly affected by the earthquake and nearly all have been indirectly hit by the loss of loved ones, extremely high food prices and lack of infrastructure. It will take years for them to fully recover. For this reason, producers in the Dominican Republic are already planning how to help Haiti long term. Once reconstruction has begun, another meeting of producers will be held to determine how Fairtrade producers can best help the reconstruction process.
FLO's Liaison Officer for Haiti, who only began work for FLO a few weeks ago, sums up the determination of the Haitian people to overcome this tragedy:
"The disaster has affected us all. But now is not the time to lose heart. For my part, I will continue fighting and will do all I can to help alleviate the suffering of my people and to support the reconstruction of my country".
And producers are gladly receiving the help offered by their Dominican Republic neighbours. One producer commented: "The word solidarity has now taken on a different meaning for us in Haiti, because without it Haiti would never have survived. The help that we are receiving from the Dominican Republic is just incredible."

COLTON Armed with a rifle, Sawyer M. Pignona allegedly headed to the Colton-Pierrepont Central School parking lot Monday afternoon to scope it out for a fight.
Instead, state police said, the Hannawa Falls teenager brandished the weapon from a car window, causing a panic that sent the school into lockdown and landing himself behind bars.
Troopers charged Mr. Pignona, 16, with a felony count of criminal possession of a weapon on school grounds, state police Investigator Christopher M. Nye said. A friend who allegedly drove Mr. Pignona to the school, Connor I. Warden, 17, of Potsdam, also was charged with criminal possession of a weapon on school grounds.
Troopers are aware of reports of a possible Facebook feud involving students from Colton-Pierrepont and other districts, and are looking into the matter.
I know there was a spat, Mr. Nye said, adding that Mr. Pignona, a Potsdam Central School student, may have taken it to the next level.
The teens were arrested separately Monday, and both were arraigned in Colton Town Court. Mr. Pignona was committed to the St. Lawrence County jail, Canton, in lieu of $10,000 cash or $20,000 bond. Mr. Warden was released on $5,000 bail, Mr. Nye said.
Mr. Warden told troopers that he drove the armed Mr. Pignona to the school at about 3:50 p.m., according to court documents.
We left Sawyers house and he told me that we were going to a parking lot to scope it out for a fight, Mr. Warden said in a police deposition.
Before we left Sawyers house he grabbed a long gun from his house and two red bandannas, Mr. Warden said. Sawyer told me where to go and we ended up at Colton school.
There, Mr. Warden said, they pulled into a back lot and observed three kids in the back of the school. Mr. Pignona opened the passenger side window and stuck the gun out, Mr. Warden told troopers, although he said he was not sure whether Mr. Pignona actually aimed it at the youths. Mr. Warden said that Mr. Pignona told him the gun was not loaded.
A teacher, James A. Nee, told troopers in his deposition that he was coaching lacrosse when he saw a vehicle approaching at about 4 p.m. He waved his hands and walked toward the car to tell the driver that practice was under way in the lot.
The vehicle turned and backed away, but then Mr. Nee noticed that the passenger rolled his window down and thrust out what appeared to be a rifle. The passenger held it out the window and was shaking it while saying what sounded like whoo hoo, before driving away, Mr. Nee told state police.
All students were then brought into the building and all doors were locked, Colton-Pierrepont Central School Superintendent Joseph A. Kardash wrote in a statement posted on the districts Facebook page and website. Once the police arrived to secure the premises, parents were called to pick up students and after-school activities were cancelled.
The incident was reported to state police at 4:16 p.m.
I turned to usher the other kids that were still outside to go inside, Mr. Nee told troopers. All the while I was hoping that the passenger was not going to fire any rounds in my direction.
Mr. Warden told police that he and Mr. Pignona then went back to Sawyers house and hung out for a while.
On the way back, I asked Sawyer why he pointed the gun out the window, and he told me that it does not matter, Mr. Warden said.

Carbon/Emery Telcom and the county commission agreed to enter into a contract that will expand the telecommunications provider's service area and solve a communications issue related to the ambulance garage.
Carbon lawmakers told the company that the county would be amenable to the proposal at a commission meeting on Sept. 21. The agreement will provide the company with a 40-by-40-foot parcel in the county's industrial park area.
Carbon/Emery Telcom will construct a 11-by-17-foot building where it plans to house the company's equipment.
Carbon/Emery Telcom said at the commission meeting the site is more favorable than what the company would normally consider.
As a telecommunications provider, Carbon/Emery Telcom has the ability to use the right-of-way established by roads and highways.
However, Utah Highway 10, which runs adjacent to the industrial park, is used more as time goes on and could be widened to compensate that traffic growth.
The communications provider said the company prefers a permanent location that isn't threatened by the potential expansion of the highway.
The facility would be used to house equipment necessary for high-speed Internet connections and facilitate a fiber-optics cable upgrade in the region.
Connections will be used not only by businesses located in the industrial park, but by areas in southwest Carbon County that are currently unable to receive high speed Internet access.
In return for the property exchange, the telecommunications provider said it will provide the county with a fiber-optic cable connection that will link the county ambulance garage to the communications relay station at Four Mile Hill.
That obstacle was one of the difficulties that the county faced when commissioners decided to purchase land near Tram Electric on Airport Road. In May, elected officials approved the purchase of the land, citing that it had significant advantages as far as location over other options.
The most significant drawback to the purchase was related to communications with the radio communications relay station on Four Mile Hill, where communications from the state public safety dispatch are broadcast.
A hill southwest of the proposed location for the ambulance garage sits squarely between the the Airport Road property and Four Mile Hill.
The deal brokered by the county and Carbon/Emery Telcom will allow the ambulance garage to bypass that obstacle and provide a direct high-speed communications connection between the communications relay and the ambulance garage.
Frank Brady, the county's communications and television supervisor, said at the meeting that he had spoken with the county's planning director, Dave Levanger, regarding the matter. Brady said the planning office had shown a favorable response to the idea, but would prefer that the building were fenced and gated. Carbon/Emery Telcom agreed that a fence and gate would be appropriate.
County commissioners did not sign an agreement at the meeting, but said they would be favorable to signing one at a later date.
