Thursday Hockey Notes

from John Shannon of Sportsnet,
• In addition to the Maple Leafs, Oilers and Hurricanes, some teams will look at the Olympic break to decide if they are buyers or sellers at the deadline on the first Wednesday in March. One manager told me the magic number is 10. That's 10 points out of 8th spot. And when you consider that means that a team that is 10 down would probably have to go 15-5 in its last 20 games to have a chance. Do the math, by Valentines Day the list of teams down by double digits might be prove to make the trade deadline day a wild day indeed.
• Interesting to note that replacement players for Olympic teams can only happened based on a list that was given last year to WADA (World Anti-Doping Agency). The list has to be very extensive, in order to cover any issue. It is so large, I'm told, the Canadian list includes Guy Lafleur. You also have to wonder, with all the public funding that the three levels of government are putting into the Games, why the list isn't made public… ever!

Patrick Kane's Introduction To The World
by Paul on 02/11/10 at 04:26 PM ET

from Mike Kiley of Blackhawks Confidential,
Are you ready, Chicago? Are you ready, world? Kane appeals to all ages, gossipy old nags that like sniffing the scandal sheets and bright-eyed girls and boys who can relate to a fella that's part Huckleberry Finn, part Eminem, part Joe Namath, part Denis Savard, and pretty much three-quarters Bobby Hull, except for the hair. All live wire.
Kid Galahad could be the belle of this ball, because he so enjoys scrambling those letters to read KID HAD-A-GAL or simply KID GALA, a rollicking roustabout coming straight to your stage and the wide, wide world of sports (I know, I'm mixing networks) from Al Capone's rootin'-tootin' hometown, which is still how much of the world identifies Chicago….
Team USA's Olympic opener is a 12 p. m. puck drop in Vancouver, so Kane still has time to gather the girl scout troop for a Monday night reprise in the party limo, get John Madden and Kris Versteeg on the laptop webcam, try reverse-role playing and have the gals be the ones that take off their shirts this time round for the paparazzi shoot, roast them a few marshmallows, drown them with Jagermeister shooters for the international spirit, park at Lover's Leap in Stanley Park for belated Valentine canoodling under the moonlight and hit the hay without the need of a police escort to help him say his evening prayers.

from Charlie Gillis of Macleans,
Q: There's no denying the stakes, though. If Canada wins gold, you're a genius. If the team falls anywhere short of gold, it's considered some sort of failure.
A: That's certainly the reality of it, and the way it goes in a short tournament. I don't think that's necessarily right. Whether somebody is really competent—whether he has a good hockey mind, whether he's a good person to lead a hockey club—is something determined over a long period of time, not one tournament. If we do well, it's certainly not because I'm any smarter than anybody else. It'll be because we have good players and good coaches.
Q: Is that the explanation for your decision to exclude Mike Green of the Washington Capitals, who is currently the NHL's top-scoring defenceman?
A: Mike Green's a hell of a hockey player, a tremendous talent. I just think the defence we put together can generate offence almost to the same level as Mike, and yet be stronger in other areas. We just thought the seven that we chose are a better fit for us. I don't want to go on at length criticizing Mike Green, but there are parts of his game that we'd need to see improved upon before he's ready to play in the Olympics….

Palffy Concerned About Development Of Young Slovak Players
by Paul on 02/11/10 at 09:35 AM ET
Comments (0)
from Tony Gallagher of the Vancouver Province via the Times-Colonist,
When last the National Hockey League saw Ziggy Palffy he had two shoulders that were in rough shape.
The rehab basically took him out of commission in 2006, given nobody wanted to sign him after the six months he was on the shelf. And at that point in his career, after being one of the game's most exciting goal scorers, he didn't want to play for a paltry $1 million US, saying yesterday: "I can do that in Slovakia."
So he did. And after playing in the '06 world championship he retired from the national team, not so much because of any great hassle with the management or coaching staff, but rather to move out of the way to let the younger players take over.
"But there aren't any younger guys coming," he said, worried a little about the state of hockey in his country. "They don't want to work. They all want to come over here and play junior and I think it's much better for them to stay home, play in the senior league, play in Russia and in Sweden and get better before they try over here.
"It's too tough to try to make it over here so young and these guys don't realize it. I tell them when I can but it doesn't work out for most of them and we're not developing younger guys because of that."

Is Team USA Underrated?
by Paul on 02/10/10 at 08:15 PM ET

from Mark Whicker of Ducks Blog,
David McNab, the Ducks senior vice president of hockey operations, is a proud American who expects to be even prouder when they hand out the U.S. men's hockey medals.
"I think the Americans are going to win," McNab said. "And you can quote me on that."
McNab points to (A) the capricious nature of the Olympic tournament and (B) his belief that the Americans are underrated.

Watching Hockey On TV - 101
by Paul on 02/08/10 at 05:04 PM ET
Comments (0)
from Will Harvie of The Press (New Zealand),
Few Kiwis know much about ice hockey. Will Harvie explains what to watch for at the Winter Olympics.
The skill of watching ice hockey on television is knowing where the puck is probably going, not focusing on where it is at any given moment.
For example, there are times in every hockey game when the puck skitters into a corner or behind the net and players on opposing teams converge to dispute possession. Offensive players want to pass the puck to a team-mate so he can take a shot on goal; defensive players want to get the puck out of the danger area.

Pre-Olympic Team Rankings

from the IIHF,
With five days left as of Monday to the opening faceoff of the XXI Olympic Winter Games in Vancouver, Canada, the IIHF released the pre-Olympic World Ranking Report.
Russia, which has won two consecutive IIHF World Championship gold medals, tops the men's pre-Olympic ranking report with 2925 points ahead of Canada (2905 points) and Sweden (2795).
added 8:49am, Also from the IIHF,
It's one of the most sought-after souvenirs from the Olympic Winter Games – and virtually impossible to get. The official Olympic ice hockey puck.
Weighing in at six ounces, one inch thick and three inches in diameter, this tiny piece of vulcanized rubber is every hockey collector's fantasy keepsake. Every year it is a challenge to create a puck that incorporates all of the Olympic values, while keeping the puck functional. Too much white, and you have unhappy players, too boring, and you have unhappy fans.

from Mike Zeisberger of the Toronto Sun,
* Team Canada's Martin Brodeur of the Devils is just 2-3 the past two weeks, including the loss to Lundqvist's Rangers on Saturday.
* Prior to leading his Vancouver Canucks to a 3-2 shootout win in Boston on Saturday, Canada's Roberto Luongo was pulled after allowing three first-period goals to the Maple Leafs on Jan. 30, then dropped a 3-2 decision to the Habs in his hometown of Montreal on Feb. 2.
* The third Canadian goalie, Marc-Andre Fleury of the Pittsburgh Penguins, dropped a pair of games over the weekend. After being yanked in a 5-3 defeat to the Canadiens on Saturday, he was on the losing end of a 5-4 overtime decision to the high-flying Capitals on Sunday.
* Team USA's Ryan Miller, the backbone of the Buffalo Sabres, is just 2-5 in his past seven appearances and is mired in a three-game losing streak.

Babcock Going Into The Olympics By Covering All The Bases
by Paul on 02/07/10 at 10:17 PM ET
Comments (0)
from Eric Duhatschek of the Globe and Mail at CTVOlympics,
A great believer in leaving no stone unturned in preparation for the 2010 Winter Olympics, Mike Babcock has spent the past six months touching base with his various predecessors as coach of Canada's men's hockey team.
When Babcock approached Pat Quinn, who was at the helm in both 2002 and 2006, he wondered specifically about scrutiny and expectation. Surprisingly, Quinn told Babcock the most pressure he ever felt coaching internationally came in Ottawa just more than a year ago, when he was behind the bench for the 2009 world junior team in Canada.
To Babcock, the operative words were the last two - in Canada. Coaching a team in Canada will heighten every aspect of the experience, which can be both a good and a bad thing.

I'm just wiping off the dust, having just handed back my bike, 960km older, in Luang Nam Tha, and here's a little update on the boats according to either travel agents here in LNT, my own experience or other traveller reports.
Boat on the Nam Tha river: not running.
Boat from Huay Xai to Luang Prabang: not running
Here are ones that are running. Trip time based either on my own experience or what other travellers who actually caught the boat said. Note agents in each town routinely say the boat takes less than it does.
Boat from Hat Sa to Muang Khua : Running, takes 6 hours down (me), 9 up.
Boat from Muang Khua to Nong Khiaow: Running, 7 down, 9 up.
Boat from Nong Khiaow to Luang Prabang: Running
Boat from Nong Khiaow to Muang Ngoi: Running.
Hope that helps!

As per the above linked post on Lonely Planet Thorn Tree, it's unlikely the river will be much higher by late April, but if there are enough people at the slow boat ramp on any given morning a boat will make the trip even now. However, as long as the river is this low there are still likely to be mixed messages from touts as you appraoch and cross the border. Many people tell their own version of the truth which best suits their business during these lean times. The go right now is selling bucketloads of minivan and bus tickets and saying boats aren't possible, too dangerous, etc. I'd pray for rain in the next month and check here or Thorn Tree again before arriving at the border.

I'm supposed to be going from LP to Huay Xai in mid June it's the rainy season then so should be running.
On the up side it will be easier for the buses to get around which may be a more comfortable option....

Tickets are again being sold for the slow boat from Huay Xai to Luang Prabang, starting for March 20 (this Thursday) so officially it's back in business. However people should be aware how low the Mekong still is and that boats have to take extra care and might not make their destinantion on time (was common in early Feb too before the boats got cancelled). So be prepared to sleep wherever they tell you to if Pakbeng doesn't materialise by sunset. Keep extra clothing handy as it can get very cool at night by the river, bring extra food too and you will be very popular.

Can anyone tell me how long the bus/minivans take from Huay Xai to Luang Prabang? And anyone know of reputable agencies to book through for minivans if that's the best option?

Get the regular bus at 9am, 1pm, or 5pm and buy your ticket at the bus station.
Bus schedule here
There is usually a lot of pressure at the border crossing and in town to buy a bus or van ticket. You can ignore this and get a tuk tuk for 10,000 kip (or 40 baht) to the bus station. Arrive about an hour ahead of time to get a decent seat. The ride takes about 11-12 hours.
Boats (slow and speed) are running too. Go to the boat ramp (slow 1km north, speed 4km south) and buy ticket there. The touts in town can be like flies - swat them away.

The slowboat is indeed running - we got it on Monday, arriving in Luang Phabang last night. We had absolutely no prblems whatsoever, the journey was incredibly smooth, we didn't get stuck/have to sleep on a riverbank, and the ride itself was stunning. I'm so glad that we took the boat instead of opting for a bus, as I'm sure the boat was infinently nicer than being crammed onto a bus for 12 hours. If anyone reading this can't decide, you should definitely take the boat.
Our journey was pretty smooth sailing from Chiang Mai. We paid 1700 Baht per person for the whole journey to Luang Prabang (all accommodation, transport and meals, bar the room in Pakbeng, and food on the 2nd leg of te boat). We took a mini bus from CM to Chiang Khong - about 5 or 6 hours, pretty cramped and very windy roads (probably the worst bit of the journey!) We stayed overnight in CK, where our guesthouse organied our visas in advance (you can do it on arrival at the border as well). In the morning we left at 8.30, took a minibus to thai immigration, a short boat hop across to Laos, where we picked up the visas, cleared immigration, and took a tuk tuk to the boat. We didn't encounter ANY touts at all trying to put us off theboat/sell bus tickets. After all the numerous accounts of this in this thread, I'm not sure where they all went...
We boarded the boat, which left at 10.30 sharp - they were very strict about this, as they obviously want to avoid getting stuck. It was about 3/4 full, so there were plenty of seats to spare, and the only people sat on the floor were those who chose to (some of the benches are pretty hard, you should definitely buy a cushion!) We stopped overnight in Pabeng, arriving at about 5.30. Now I really don't understand the fuss about Pakbeng. Yes it's small and quiet, but it's nice, has numerous guesthouses and a few decent restaurants, and is completely fine for a night. We stayed in the Monsavahn Guesthouse, rooms for 200B - clean and nice. There were loads of rooms so no need to book in advance at the vastly inflated prices being offered before you board the boat! On day 2 we left at 9am, and reached LP by 5.30.
After reading all the threads on the forum we were aprehensive about both the boat and Pakbeng, and this just goes to show that sometimes too much research can be counterproductive. It was good to go into it with our eyes open, as obviously sometimes things do go wrong, but if we had let ourselves be put off enough to take the bus that would have been a real shame. I'd encourage anyone debating it to take the boat - yes it's long, but it's beautiful and peaceful, a great way to meet people, and an experience you'll never forget.

Finally, a report of someone doing the slow boat on the Mekong recently and having no problems.
I still don't see why anyone ever does this trip. It's just not worth all the potential problems, especially when there are better river trips in Laos. Certainly the trip south on the Nam Ou from Muang Khua is unrivaled. The only downside is the cost. If you want to go all the way to Muang Ngoi or Nong Khiew, you'll probably have to charter a whole boat for approximately $100. The only other passengers are likely to be locals going from their village to the nearest market or back again.
You never know on the Mekong how overcrowded your boat will be, how many days it might take, or where you'll wind up sleeping. It's not worth the risk. And does anyone really need to meet that many other tourists? You could stay in Amsterdam or New York to do that. The slow boat is really nothing more than a floating Khao San Road.
Talk to your fellow travelers in Chiang Khong or Houi Xai and convince a few of them to join you from Luang Nam Tha to Oudomxai to Muang Khua if you need to share the costs.

I think you've slightly missed the point here. Most people do the slow boat as a way to get from Chiang Khong to Luang Prabang, and the alternative is an overnight bus journey from a to b on a cramped, hot, uncomfortable bus. As someone who considered both, and who's since spoken to people who took the bus (it took them 22 hours, although I think this is varied), the boat is an infinitely more preferable option. Not to mention the fabulous experience of floating peacefully along the Mekong for about £8 - slightly less than the $100 quoted for the other journey.

I still don't see why anyone ever does this trip
Because everyone does it, of course. That's integral to the experience of "doing" southeast Asia or wherever. You must take the slow boat to Luang Prabang, you must go tubing in Vang Vieng, and you must visit the Buddha park in Vientiane. Otherwise you are missing out and will be a loser when you can't join the cool late night traveler discussions during the breaks between Friends and Family Guy!
Smirk =)

Hmm that's not the only overland alternative. There are VIP buses with AC. & also alternatives such as stopping along the way to explore Luang Namtha, Oudomxay, etc - see more of Laos, meet more Lao people...
22h in what season with how many breakdowns? If all goes well should be closer to 13h.
Not to mention the fabulous experience of floating peacefully along the Mekong for about £8 - slightly less than the $100 quoted for the other journey.
VIP bus (135,000kip) is cheaper than slow boat (~200,000kip) for entire journey (HX to LPB). Can have a look here if you need more details on boat & bus options.
Not that am against this slow boat journey, but prefer to do it upriver (which i did, with max 20 other passengers at any time). Cramped, uncomfortable ride with 100 other passengers drinking & playing cards isn't a 'fabulous experience of floating peacefully' to me. #10: The slow boat is really nothing more than a floating Khao San Road seems like a pretty good description for the downriver boats...
Though you travelled during the off-peak season when many avoid northern Laos because of the haze, so guess it wasn't that crowded for you, & you paid low season rates for Monsavan (stayed there & liked it too).
Agree with #10 that there are more beautiful river trips to be enjoyed in Laos. Guess it's cos i travelled on the Nam Ou before travelling on the Mekong that i found the latter far more boring in terms of scenery.

Oh dear - I wrote that first post because I've used Travelfish so extensively whilst I've been away and wanted to give something back by posting an up to date account of a very poular journey. The last thing I wanted was to get into an argument with the 'professional travellers' mafia. I've seen these arguments on here before and they get nasty.
But let me say this - there are a lot of really normal, cool people who want to travel to popular places and do popular things and sometimes are just looking for up to date accounts on said destinations and activities.
If somebody wants to 'do' SE Asia I personally don't think their experience is any less valid because they: shower, chat to other like minded westerners, watch the odd episode of Family Guy and don't have to sneer at the journeys other people are undertaking in order to feel better about themselves.
I can't help thinking that travelling is an experience and is not a profession and writing countless posts is not the same thing as studying to be a doctor and then giving medical advice. The opinions stated here (certainly including my own) are not definitive beacuse there is not a definitively correct or incorrect way to travel.
So come on guys - the opinions and first hand accounts of the more travelled travellers are always appreciated, but certainly in no way enhanced when laced with unjustified snobbery.

Why bike cops need to get busyPolice on mountain bikes seem to pop up everywhere. The ethos behind hot-wheeling fuzz is sound: it benefits the environment more than a car or motorbike patrol and, by mingling with the people, this modern-day Dixon of Dock Green pushes the friendly face of policing. But police on pushbikes will always seem comical. So much of what defines the police as a force to be reckoned with is down to their uniform, of which vehicle, weapon and thousand-yard stare are all part. Denuded of the armoury of a car they seem punier and more vulnerable, less the hard men and women of the mean streets. Dressed in cycling helmets, police livery and yellow jackets, they look more like overgrown prefects in gym kit. The fact that they are most visible pedalling slowly around areas like Brick Lane telling other cyclists to dismount in the one-way zone doesn't help. Conversely, in pursuit of their quarry, their image is instantly more dynamic. Heading along Kingsland Road to Ridley Road market and down Dalston Lane towards the Pembury Estate on Pembury Road, patrol cars stall and grind to a halt but mountain bike cops can take the lead dodging speed bumps, using pavements, flying the wrong way down roads (police prerogative, I assume) and following thieves and drug dealers into estates with ease. If you haven't seen this yet, live in hope. Could it be that 'Pedal Power, The Action Movie' is just around the corner?

It neutralises smell,
To prevent you living in hell.
I am anxiously awaiting delivery of baby 1,
And look forward to having fun,
With a smell free room for the bun!

The system uses the power of bicarb soda instead of relying on harsh chemicals. I would love one so that my friends stop buying me air fresheners my house stinks.

The unique hygiene vent uses natural bicarb soda to neutralise odours. I would love one as I didn't end up getting one for my baby shower.

Munchkin nappy system uses natural bicarb soda to neutralise and eliminate odors. My dog is obsessed with the smell of nappies - I need to get rid of the odor to stop him knocking the bin over all the time!
Posted 04 April 2012 - 05:11 PM
I'd love one for home. The baking soda sounds new.

The Munckin nappy bin doesn't mask odours, it neutralizes them using natural bicarb soda.
I would like to win one to give to my wife so she doesnt complain about the smelly nursery all the time
Posted 04 April 2012 - 05:28 PM
This traps those awful nasty smells that cute babies can create. More unique then any normal bin and hygenic! How could I not want one??
Posted 04 April 2012 - 05:49 PM
Sorry, but I can't believe in this day and age we can feature articles on sustainable living and then give away such a redundant item as a nappy disposal system. Can't you just toss em in the bin? Until we have compostable waste - wake up to yourselves Councils of Australia - nappies like everything else, just get squished down in an anaerobic pulp in our Council facilities. Why then would you need to store them in your house, baking soda or otherwise?
Posted 04 April 2012 - 08:46 PM
The Munchkin System uses bi-carb, which is awesome, as this is the only cleaning product that I feel safe using around the little ones
Posted 04 April 2012 - 09:38 PM
Baking soda certainly does work Miracles, and to come with this Munchkin System its certainly a Must have
Posted 04 April 2012 - 10:10 PM
[/size]unlike other claims Munchkin actually gets rid ofodours, i would love to win to pass it to mum to persuade her to buy it
Posted 04 April 2012 - 10:17 PM
It uses baking soda to netralise odours... must be a US thing though to call it baking soda and not bicarb soda. Does it work with cloth nappies? Not to dispose obviously, just to store and remove smells before washing. Because my daughter has some stinky cloth nappies. I don't use disposable.
Posted 05 April 2012 - 09:57 AM
The Munchkin Nappy Disposal System sounds completely different to other nappy disposal systems on the market. I was using a nappy disposal system but every time you lifted the lid to put a nappy in you got hit with the putrid smell of wet/urine soaked nappies!! GROSS!! I'm due with my second bub in a few weeks so this would be a great addition to the added nappy collection!!
Posted 05 April 2012 - 10:52 AM
Munchkin Nappy Disposal system uses natural baking soda to neutralizes the odour. I would love to try it as I use as few chemicals in my home as possible.

Each time the Rockies' clubhouse door opened Sunday afternoon, Lisa Pomeranz peeked around the corner. Three hours is a lifetime when a proud parent wants to see her child.
Drew Pomeranz was occupied. Because of reporters with notebooks and teammates with congratulatory handshakes, his schedule became full after his terrific debut in the Rockies' 4-1 victory over the Reds at Coors Field.
"I wasn't really looking around at anything, the crowd or any of that. My focus was on my job," Pomeranz said. "It didn't matter if I told you guys I was going to dominate. It's not about what you say. You have to go out there and do it."
Perhaps no Rockies pitcher has arrived with more hype than Pomeranz, an outgrowth of being the prized jewel in the Ubaldo Jimenez trade July 30. The idea that he was acquired in exchange for the most talented Rockies pitcher ever has never bothered the 22-year-old. He's confident on the mound, self-assured off it.
"He has a slow heartbeat," manager Jim Tracy said.
Part of Pomeranz's appeal Sunday was that he pitched boldly. Three weeks after having his appendix removed, the 6-foot-5, 240-pound left-hander worked five scoreless innings, allowing just two hits. His pace suggested he had a flight to catch.
"That young man over there, we had him in trouble a couple of times, but he threw a couple of sinkers and got out of it," Reds manager Dusty Baker said. "You have to be impressed."
Placed on pitch counts earlier this season by the Indians to protect his arm, Pomeranz has learned the value of quick outs. He pounded the zone Sunday, throwing 48 fastballs (32 for strikes), eight changeups (two for strikes) and seven changeups (two for strikes).
"He was the same guy I saw in Tulsa," said catcher Wilin Rosario, Pomeranz's batterymate in his 10 scoreless innings for the Drillers. "I know he usually throws the curve more, but the change was really working."
There have been Rockies pitchers who have gone seasons without using that pitch. Pomeranz picked up his circle change this season, and figured, "Why not?"
"Wilin talked about how it was unbelievable with its late movement," outfielder Carlos Gonzalez said. "He looked great. That's our future right there."
Drew and older brother Stuart were the only Pomeranzes without pterodactyls in their stomachs. Parents Mike and Lisa took their seats in section 130 at Coors Field with understandable anxiety. Their younger son was in college and starring for the University of Mississippi 15 months ago. With apologies to the SEC, Joey Votto isn't hitting cleanup for South Carolina or Florida.
Stuart, a minor-league pitcher who hopes to revive his career in Venezuela this winter, was in town as a calming influence.
"It's hard because you feel like you are part of the process," Lisa said.
Mom and Dad had cameras flickering all day to record the event. Even without photos, two game baseballs (his first strikeout and the last out) and the lineup card, this day would be impossible for the family to forget. Not only did Pomeranz win, thanks to Ty Wigginton's home run and Jordan Pacheco's sixth RBI in four starts, he pitched like he had been here before.
"I saw a lot of poise," veteran Todd Helton said. "He had a presence out there."

And after attending the spectacular Doodle 4 Google Competition last year down at the Googleplex, I have a greater appreciation for these colorful creations that spruce up our search experience.
Some of my faves include the Dr. Seuss-inspired logo to honor Dr. Seuss's birthday and the Morse code message that went up yesterday for Samuel Morse's —the inventor of Morse code — birthday. And what about the first day of Spring design by Eric Carle? Love them all. Do Google themed-logos brighten your day, or do you even notice them? And if so, what are some of your faves?

Photos: Breaking Down the 'Boys - mid-season offensive grades
Photo: Tony Gutierrez/AP
RG Mackenzy Bernadeau: F. I really don't want to pile on Bernadeau (No. 73), but I can't really find anything to justify his play. On film, he's looked overmatched in just about every game. The Cowboys are totaling only 3.61 YPC with Bernadeau at the point and he's allowed a pressure rate of 3.6 percent - a number higher than many of the league's offensive tackles. I've attributed three sacks to Bernadeau.

Seth Green fumbled the ball over to the opposition on the first snap of the game.
After that, there was a lot to like about East Ridge's freshman quarterback.
Green completed only seven passes but finished with 228 yards and two touchdowns as the Raptors (2-2) beat intracity rival Woodbury 28-26 Friday night, Sept. 21, in a Suburban East Conference game played at a packed Raptors Nest Stadium.
Green's completions went for an average gain of 32.6 yards.
"He plays with so much poise and maturity as a freshman," East Ridge coach Mike Pendino said. "He's going to be fun to have around for four years."
On the first offensive play of the game, Green took the snap and fumbled the ball over to Woodbury defensive lineman Kyle Schmidt. The Royals (2-2) capitalized as quarterback Sawyer Moon found receiver Reid Peters for a 26-yard touchdown on their first possession.
But East Ridge rebounded behind Green and an impressive rushing defense that held down Woodbury running back Quran Al-Hameed.
Though Al-Hameed was limited to 59 yards rushing, including only 6 yards on eight carries in the first half, he took a direct snap with six minutes left and scored a touchdown that brought Woodbury within 28-26.
The East Ridge defense stepped onto the field with less than four minutes to go and stopped Woodbury from scoring to clinch the victory and take back the Griffith Trophy.
"When you have two schools that are in the same town, you're playing for bragging rights," Pendino said.
The Royals stayed close behind Moon. The senior quarterback completed 27 of 40 passes for 277 yards and two touchdowns.
"They blitzed three or four kids every play," Woodbury coach Andrew Hill said. "That's why kids were running open every play. We didn't make them pay enough."
East Ridge led 21-13 after a mistake- and turnover-filled first half.
With 23 seconds to go in the third quarter, Moon connected with Peters for a second time with a 27-yard touchdown to cut the deficit to 21-19. The Royals went for a two-point conversion but failed.
After a touchdown by Raptors running back Nick Leach with 10:20 left to go in the fourth quarter to make the score 28-19, Woodbury responded with Al-Hameed's touchdown.
Leach rushed 22 times for 104 yards. East Ridge's Xavier Cole had three receptions for 94 yards and a touchdown.

Are automatic knives like the Schrade Automatic California Issue Knife legal to own?
Are automatic knives like the Schrade Automatic California Issue Knife legal to own?
You'll have to ask Siu the blade babe.
Every state has their own knife laws. And also what is legal to OWN and what is legal to CARRY might be 2 different things.
I was at a knife show one time and one of the vendors told me that he got complaints from a police officer one time for the automatic knives he had on display. The vendor said something about "even though they aren't illegal...". I didn't know what he meant and I didn't have a chance to question him. There is such a perception about "switchblades" that I have had no desire to own one, and I get by just fine with knives that you can open with a thumb stud.
Need to check your local laws and it might tie in with weather you have a concealed carry license too.
Trek 7.3 FX
In California, knives under 2" are legal. That's prob. why that's called California Issue.
From what I can tell by searching some sites I know if, all automatic knives are illegal in Illinois. Sorry.
If that blade is under 2 inches it's legal to own in California without it being spring assisted and just push button. Just remember that if it's spring assisted it MAY be considered an auto, especially if it is being sent overseas. By spring assisted, there is no button to push but is opened by pushing up on the blade manually and a spring will help it come out without resistance. Switch blades are knives that blades come straight out from the body of the knife, not the same as flip out knives. Whatever you do, never have a knife sent via USPS or you will never see it again.

The Milton Creek Country Park is now Sittingbourne's green heart. In November 2008 Swale Borough Council successfully received £2million from the Homes and Communities Agency (part of Central Government) to invest in Milton Creek Country Park.
The aim of the project was to create a better link between the town centre and the creek and getting the local community involved in looking after the park. The park also encourages local residents to learn more about the nature and wildlife of the area.
Along the path, visitors can stop at the historic wharves and contemplate the history of the area - the creek is the reason Sittingbourne and Milton Regis are here today!
The remains of several barges can be seen in the creek, now an excellent habitat for wildlife but once they would have transported bricks, paper and London's waste around the area. Artworks in the reed-bed also remind people of the area's past.
In the country park itself habitats have been enhanced for a variety of wildlife. Three ponds have been especially created for Great Crested Newts, wildflower meadows have been planted to attract bees, butterflies and many other insects. The Forestry Commission has provided funding to plant just under 7 hectares of trees which in years to come will create pleasant areas of shade, and support many more birds and insects.
The Milton Creek Ranger has developed a range of volunteering opportunities and events aimed at getting the local community involved in looking after the park and learning more about the nature and wildlife, please email request information for the latest projects and volunteering opportunities.
Milton Creek Country Park currently has 7 entrances in use at the following locations:
All entrances have 'A-Frame' gates in place to try and stop unauthorised access by motorbikes. They have been designed and installed following guidelines around accessibility for wheelchair users. The entrances at Gas Road and Green Porch Close also have a gate which can be unlocked by a Radar Key.
We want you to enjoy the Country Park and kindly request you think about local residents when you park your vehicle. Please do not obstruct driveways and leave enough space for residents to access and exit their properties, thank you.
View Milton Creek on Google maps.
Following some recent anti-social behaviour and a theft from Milton Creek Country Park, please help us stop acts of vandalism, graffiti and crime from taking place. If you are at the park and see someone behaving irresponsibly, please contact:
However in an emergency or if you are in immediate danger, please dial 999.
This link gives some guidance on the issue: How do you report antisocial behaviour
In November 2011 a group of local residents formalised themselves to become the Milton Creek Trust. This group will over see activities taking place in the park, apply for funding, carry out publicity works, do the admin work etc. The Friends of Milton Creek is a much bigger group of local residents who want to take a more active role in the park, from tree planting, to maintenance and wildlife surveys. The Trust and the Friends will work closely over the coming months and years to carry out projects and community events at Milton Creek.
The Trust and the Friends have set up their own website miltoncreek.co.uk and if you would like more information or would like to join the Friends, please email email@example.com.
This was an oral history project funded by Heritage Lottery Fund and supported by Swale Borough Council and Swale Council for Voluntary Services (CVS). The aim of the project was to engage a variety of volunteers to interview and record the memories of people who remember Milton Creek when it was a hub of industrial activity.
With two fishing lakes in close proximity to the new Milton Creek Country Park, KCAPS can provide for all your fishing needs.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) -- A man has been charged with criminally negligent homicide in the shooting death of a 6-year-old Memphis boy.
Police say 19-year-old Jerome Black was the owner of a revolver that ended up in the hands of two young boys.
The boys were scuffling over the gun Monday morning when it went off, striking Charlris Fleming Jr. in the eye. He later died at a hospital.
Police said Black was one of three adults home at the apartment at the time, but they were not in the same room.
Black was being held on $100,000 bond and was scheduled to appear in court on March 25.

Image/canvas Bliting
I can't remember how to call the blit method.
So, here's just a personal reminder.
(BTW, the pys60 doc has a wrong order between target and source)
app.body = c = Canvas()
w,h = 20,20
im = Image.new(size=(w,h))
# here's prototype
# blit(im, source=(0,0,w,h), target=(0,0), mask=None, scale=0)
# here are examples
c.blit(im) # put entire image on top-left
c.blit(im, target=(70,70)) # put it about mid-screen
c.blit(im, (0,0,w/2,h/2)) # put a quater image on top-left
# double the image size and put it about mid-screen
c.blit(im, target=(60,60,100,100), scale=1)
If scale is not specified and source <> target, the image
will be clipped instead of resized.
mask is a 1-bit image with the same size as image.
mask = Image.new((w,h),'1')
Pixel on the image will be copied if the same pixel
on the mask is 'white'.
So we can use mask to make 'Sprite'.

The Conduit currently doesn't have a publisher. Compared to what does get published on the Wii, that's a shame someone hasn't jumped on this yet. Given the Wii landscape is a bit devoid of quality FPS, we're curious to see how the game progresses. We just don't want to get too caught up in hype, especially after Wii shooter Red Steel ended up drowning in it.

cebas Computer GmbH has announced the release of finalShaders for finalRender Stage-1. finalShaders is the first of many upcoming finalRender Stage-1 material and shader plug-in collections. finalShaders works with finalRender Stage-1 Service Pack 2a or higher. Owners of finalRender Stage-1 can upgrade to Service Pack 2a for free by sending your serial number to email@example.com. finalRender Stage-1 is available for 3ds max4.X, 5.X and 6.
The materials found in finalShaders include:
* fR X-Ray is a material that can be used to create classic X-Ray imagery or it can be abused to create frosted glass.
* fR 3D-Gradient is a 3D gradient material with full control of the color change in 3D space. This texture is offers millions of material variations.
* fR-Wire is lets you raytrace every material as a wire material including all material effects like Reflection/Refraction and shading.
* fR-WetMaterial allows you to add a thin film of liquid on top of any surface with proper IOR and reflections.
* fR-Wax can be used to create ultra fast wax like materials or human skin effects.
* fR-Volumetric is a volumetric material with correct and proper volume sampling. This material allows the user to create smoke, embedded liquids, enclosures in glass and so on.
* fR-Velvet is used to create realistic satin, velvet materials. The material simulates micro fur with thousands of micro hairs on the surface.
* fR-ThinFilm is used to simulate a thin film layer on top of an objects surface like you see it with oil in water. A few settings and controls handle all the physical aspects that create the realistic spectral rainbow coloring. These are customizable to the viewers position and angle to the light.
* fR-Skin uses a volumetric multiple layer skin approach. The epidermis and deeper dermis can be individually controlled for all the relevant parameters like skin color and light absorption along with the "dryness" or "wetness" of the skin.
* fR-Elevation is a material with unlimited layers of materials were each layer can be independently controlled. For each layer a height and blending value along with other parameters may be defined.
* fR-Electron can be used to create characteristic looking electron microscope images. Metals, plastic and translucent marbles can also be created.
* fR-Distant Fur simulates micro fur or dense hair as seen form a distance. This material simulates the look of a hairy surface by rendering millions of micro structures along with their interaction with the environment. Direction, density and bending, as well as other parameters, can be controlled with this material to create a "wet" or "glued" hairy look of the surface.
* fR-CD allows you to create spectral rainbow colors or opalescent surface properties to recreate the rainbow of colors that appears when a CD-ROM is viewed in various angles.
* fR-CarPaint is a material to create the complex look and feel of a metallic car lacquer. Metal flakes along with anisotropic shading create the photorealistic finish and look of metal lacquer.

Holiday Beach Resort
What we say:
This small resort towards the west side of Ao Kao makes up for its not-so-catchy name with very friendly service and charming seaside cottages. The accommodation is spread around a lawn with a few hammocks strung between the coconut trees. The rooms in front have direct sea views, but the beach is no more than a few steps away from anywhere on the grounds. The smaller tin-roofed brown wood cottages are cute and clean, with several windows, firm beds, mosquito nets, wall-mounted fans in addition to air-con and simple hot water bathrooms. More cash gets you a much larger villa with hardwood floors, wide windows shaded by light green cotton curtains, unobstructed sea views and big front porches with hammocks. The staff was very welcoming and quick to show us around even though we interrupted their lunch. Neighbouring Blue Sky Resort (formerly TK Huts) has similarly inviting accommodation, but the staff members we spoke with there were rude and pushy. We weren't able to get exact prices for low season at Holiday Beach, but significant discounts should be expected.

While there are those who watch automotive exploits hoping (secretly or otherwise) for a spectacular crash, most of us are happy when everything goes smoothly. But at the end of the day, a daring stunt wouldn't be a daring stunt if there weren't some element of danger. And make no mistake about it, Guerlain Chicherit's recent long-jump record attempt was a daring stunt if ever there was one.

On Tap Today: Boy (not to be confused with Fall Out Boy)
The big thing on tap today is the return of pop punk band Fall Out Boy, featuring Milwaukee-based drummer Andy Hurley. It's kicking off its comeback tour at Eagles Ballroom (and we'll have a review on Tap Milwaukee late Tuesday)--but that show was sold out within 15 minutes of going on sale.
So if you didn't get a ticket, you can take solace with another Boy in town--Germany-based, Feist-y indie pop duo BOY. Lead single "Little Numbers" led to sold out shows in eight different U.S. cities for the band's first stateside tour this spring. Here in Milwaukee, however, the show has been downgraded from a lower level Pabst Theater show to a Pabst Pub gig at 8 p.m. But what you'll lose in seats you're going to gain in intimacy. And like Fall Out Boy, this one is likely to sell out, so best grab a ticket early. Unless you want to be a Bummed Out Boy (or Girl). »Read Full Blog Post

Jennifer Lopez, Marc Anthony Reunite for Kids' School Event: Pictures
No bad blood here! Jennifer Lopez and ex Marc Anthony showed a united front at a school event for twins Emme and Max in Los Angeles on Wednesday, June 19, and the former couple had nothing but love for their kids.
Lopez, 43, wore a strapless white maxi-dress for the school function, her hair pulled back into a severe bun. Anthony, meanwhile, donned his trademark sunglasses, a crisp white shirt and khakis for the event. He kept his look casual with sandals.
PHOTOS: JLo's life with her adorable twins
The pair was all smiles as they shepherded their 5-year-old son and daughter around the school. At one point, Anthony, 44, even leaned over to give little long-haired son Max a kiss during an endearing moment.
Lopez and Anthony called off their seven-year marriage back in July 2011 in a split that Lopez would later call a "painful" process.
"We have come to an amicable conclusion on all matters," she and Anthony said in a joint statement at the time. "It is a painful time for all involved, and we appreciate the respect of our privacy at this time."
Since their divorce, Lopez has been dating former backup dancer-turned-choreographer Casper Smart, 25 (the pair were first spotted together in October 2011), and Anthony has been linked to several different women, most recently Topshop heiress Chloe Green -- though the pair have reportedly split.
Anthony and Lopez have remained cordial, however, even reuniting earlier this year to celebrate Anthony's son Cristian's 12th birthday in February.

"Happy Birthday Cristian!" Lopez tweeted, along with a photo that showed herself, Anthony, Smart and the twins with a few other family members. "House party. Familia."

Later work by Tyrone, but an excellent album of smooth modern soul tunes that builds off his strong work for Columbia! The album features a sublime stepper called "Are You Serious" – a great track that easily ranks with Tyrone's best work from later years – and the rest of the album's filled with other smoothly soulful tracks that show Tyrone at his best. Titles include "Overdue", "A Little Bit Of Lovin", "Let Me Be The One", "Where Did We Lose", and "You've Got To Save Me". © 1996-2015, Dusty Groove, Inc.
We realize that there are many different interpretations of the standard grades used for pre-owned vinyl record albums & CD, so we thought we'd offer you the ones that we are working with, so you have an idea what we mean when we give the grade for a non-new item on our pages.
Below are stated conditions for a used vinyl records at Dusty Groove. Grading for the cover should be assumed to be near (within a "+" or "-") the grading for the vinyl. If there is significant divergence from the condition of the vinyl, or specific flaws, these will be noted in the comments section of the item. However, please be aware that since the emphasis of this site is towards the music listener, our main concern is with the vinyl of any used item we sell. Additionally, please note that all of our records are graded visually; considering the volume of used vinyl we handle, it is impossible for us to listen to each record. If we spot any significant flaws, we make every attempt to listen through them and note how they play.
The following grading conditions apply to the vinyl component of an album or single:
If something is noteworthy, we try to note it in the comments — especially if it is an oddity that is the only wrong thing about the record. This might include, but isn't limited to, warped records, tracks that skip, cover damage or wear as noted above, or strictly cosmetic flaws.

DC's New 52: Reviews and Discussion (Spoilers welcolme and likely)

Re: DC's New 52: Reviews and Discussion (Spoilers welcolme and likely)
I'm almost done catching up on all my Green Lantern reading and I have to say so far I am not enjoying Wrath of the First Lantern all that much. I've read up to issue 18 of all the involved titles and so far it is just "meh" to me. I enjoyed Rise of the Third Army much more.
I'll also drop Red Lanterns as soon as this storyline is done. In fact, I probably could have easily done without reading any of the Red Lantern crossover issues and still understood the story just fine. To be honest I'm not sure how Red Lanterns has made it this many issue. I picked it up up starting with issue 13 and so far none of the issues have appealed to me at all.
