A red-blooded Boston Bruins fan might wonder what all of the hullabaloo is about with the NHL agreeing to a new 12-year, $5.2 billion contract with Canadian Sports TV giant Rogers Sportsnet that hands them league television rights in Canada for the foreseeable future.
It's a blow to the good people at TSN that have done such a marvelous job with their NHL coverage in Canada, and it will also affect the Hockey Night in Canada brand as well.
But it's also a clear admission that the business of the NHL has never been healthier, or more robust.
"What does it say about Canada right?" said Claude Julien with a smile. "Every once in a while you've got to be a proud Canadian.
"It's great for the game. We took a beating a few years ago with the lockouts and stuff, and I really think our game is growing. People are seeing it grow, and decide that they want to be even more involved. I think it's going to benefit everybody. When you look at our game as a whole, it's pretty entertaining. People are loving our game right now."
None of that really affects the US hockey viewing experience with NBCSN providing all the hockey games, analysis and coverage that one could possibly want, but it still has an effect on all 30 teams in the NHL including the Bruins. Rogers is paying the NHL a $150 million down payment along with $350 million annual payments that will go directly in the pockets of the NHL teams, with the seven Canadian NHL teams getting a higher cut of the money than the US teams.
Wherever the revenue goes, it will significantly elevate the Hockey Related Revenue (HRR) that became such a talking point during last year's lockout and ultimately lift the salary cap by at least $3 million solely based on the TV deal. That's not even counting the big bump in revenues expected by the proliferation of outdoor event-type hockey games, the Islanders moving from Long Island to Brooklyn and franchise expansion/relocation that most expect to happen in the NHL over the next couple of seasons.
All of those things – along with the steady growth of the NHL as a business -- will pump up the NHL's revenue number from the current $3.2 billion reached in their last full season, and lift the high water mark for team payrolls. The NHL teams won't see the effect on the cap until after the 2014-15 season, but it will be pretty unmistakable once its factored in.
That means the Bruins will have plenty of room to accommodate the eight year contract extensions signed to Patrice Bergeron and Tuukka Rask last summer, and room to lock up some of their younger players coming to the forefront like Dougie Hamilton and Torey Krug.
Toronto Globe and Mail numbers guy James Mirtle put together a ballpark estimate based on 6 percent annual growth for the league, and estimates a $75.3 million salary cap by 2017 and a $90.3 million salary cap entering the 2020-21 season.
Tuukka Rask's $7 million per season deal currently makes him the NHL's highest paid goaltender along with Roberto Luongo, but it will start looking like a bargain as the contracts get "swole" for players over the next few seasons right along with the rising cap ceiling.
How Rogers SportsNet deal with NHL impacts Bruins
A red-blooded Boston Bruins fan might wonder what all of the hullabaloo is about with the NHL agreeing to a new 12-year, $5.2 billion contract with Canadian Sports TV giant Rogers Sportsnet that hands them league television rights in Canada for the foreseeable future.

Location: The great gig in the sky
Re: what do people want star trek 3 to be like
Tell you what, maybe the third film should be the run-up to a Klingon/Federation war, and things are not going well for Starfleet. But a group inside of Starfleet and the Federation government feel that the Prime Directive is not enough so they introduce more draconian laws and measures for the Federation's safety and protection. It would be an opportunity for tension and suspense without a plot twist or action scene every two minutes, something which seems to be lost in many film directors these days.
Then the fourth film could be the war itself and how the Federation eventually prevails against the Klingons. The fourth film would have to be three hours long to do justice to some of the war's chronological events. Then comes the fifth film and it addresses the Federation and Starfleet's descent into tyranny as laws introduced in the war are not revoked. I can imagine the fifth film's climax is Kirk and a whole bunch of Starfleet captain's deciding to go rogue with their ship's and crew on the basis of moral principles and not wanting to be part of some kind of totalitarian state.
So we have a trilogy, lots of opportunity for drama and angst, action and a plot which will satisfy the casual audience, the Trekkies and those wanting something a wee bit thought-provoking. A trilogy of films all released in the space of two years and actually doing something really different with this universe.

If the husband-and-wife duo of Tennis disappears a year from now, it will remain a great story. Frugal living and romance led to a sailing trip that led to the band that captured their journey in evocative, lovely lo-fi songs. Another period of frugal living will let Tennis test the musical waters over the next year, and if it doesn't work out, Patrick Riley said he's okay with that.
In a phone interview last month, Riley said he and his wife have saved enough money at their day jobs over the past year to "buy ourselves another year of doing whatever. Since music has taken off, we're just going to try the music thing for a year. ... If we can sustain ourselves, we'll keep doing it. If we can't, we'll just turn it back into a hobby again."

May 6, 1931 - Payroll money totaling $1,500 also lost in blaze: Damage in excess of $200,000 was claimed today as result of a fire of undetermined origin that destroyed the De Pere Paper Manufacturing company plant, one house, eight barns, a garage and damaged a restaurant and several other buildings.
It was the most disastrous conflagration in the history of De Pere. Starting in a group of barns in the west side business district, shortly after 3 o'clock, flaming embers, it is believed, were carried by a high south wind to the mill of the De Pere Paper Manufacturing company operated by Morris and Herman Miller of Green Bay, and caused the destruction of that plant.
Only the supreme efforts, by the De Pere and Green Bay fire departments, and scores of men working in the residential districts in the vicinity of the two fires, was considerable other property saved.

Gerald McCoy is not the type of person that you would want to meet in the trenches. At 6'4″ and 300 pounds McCoy, a former pro bowler, is an imposing presence. However for being such a large strong man he has streaks of kindness that his coaches aren't necessarily happy about.
"I had my D-line coaches get on to me the other day. Well, not get on to me, try to get on to me. There's no way they're going to get on to me for this. They got upset with my because I helped somebody up [in the game.] So what! I don't care. Kiss my butt. Listen, if I want to help somebody, I'm going help somebody up. Because right on the next play I'm going to knock him down again. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter.
"That doesn't change how hard I play. As long as in between the whistles. I'm not helping anybody up, it doesn't matter. So what if I help them off the ground? 'Good job; we're out here competing. But as soon as they snap the ball, I'm going to kill you again.'
"There's nothing wrong with that. Everybody's not like that. If you don't want to be like that, keep it to yourself. I don't care. I don't go tell them, 'Hey, you're not doing this. You're not doing that.' I don't care. Everybody does what they do. If I help somebody up, get over it. Get over it."-TheBLCBlog.com
I'm not opposed to McCoy showing sportsmanship but many coaches don't feel the same way, for a variety of reasons.

HARTFORD — The city is considering taking control of the vacant, derelict One Talcott Plaza downtown as a future site for municipal offices that are now in leased space.
Hartford and LAZ Parking, the current owner, would jointly renovate the building, with the city taking over ownership and LAZ leasing back the parking garage.
The complex deal calls for an investment by the city of up to $10 million, with Hartford-based LAZ Parking putting in as much as $20 million.
Once completed, the city could save up to $2 million annually, and possibly more, as offices are moved to One Talcott Plaza. In addition to city hall on Main Street, municipal offices are scattered...

Q: Why did Britney Spears's latest album, "Britney Jean," perform so terribly? Has she lost her mojo in a Miley- and Gaga-obsessed world?
A: In fairness, Spears did score the only debut in this week's Top 10, and she's having to compete with the "Duck Dynasty" people, who have the Lord on their side. But nobody is calling "Britney Jean" a success. The album debuted on the Billboard charts at No. 4, Spears's lowest bow, like, ever, y'all. Initial sales of 107,000 copies fell below even the most modest industry predictions of 115,000 to 120,000 units. In contrast, Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, and Miley Cyrus all had more robust album debuts this year.
Why all the meh surrounding "Britney Jean"?
Well, you can start with the music itself. The album's first single, "Work B---h," is fairly catchy, but the companion video fails to showcase Spears's onetime trademark, her dancing. The track failed make it into the Top 10 of Billboard's Pop Songs airplay chart. It also had the shortest run on that list of any first single from the singer's albums.
"It's lackluster," one music publicist told me. "It's what you've seen and heard from her before."
Spin magazine's Rob Harvilla agrees that Britney Jean lacks the oomph of an "Oops! ... I Did I Again" or "Britney."
"The album is just a drag, I'm afraid," Harvilla tells me. "'Work B----h' is hilarious, and [follow-up single] 'Perfume' is actually pretty fantastic, but from there it falls off a cliff — there's not much worse than bad will.i.am. It's pretty vapid throwaway EDM, and I say this as a vapid-EDM enthusiast. She's no Ke$ha, alas.
"And as a media provocateur, she's dwarfed right now by the Miley/Gaga/Katy nexus — it's not that it's necessarily a younger woman's game, but it is exhausting and probably soul- and personal-life-destroying, so I choose to hope that no news is good news in terms of her overall well-being, even if no news equal lousy sales."
The marketing for "Britney Jean" also appears to be MIA, per Harvilla
"It just wasn't there — the Pepsi or McDonald's partnership. Britney could definitely be all over the hemisphere in terms of tweets or blogs or skits on Funny or Die or popping up in a movie as a cameo, or a surprise appearance on 'SNL,' but I haven't seen any of that with this album."

PHILADELPHIA (AP) - She's an American convert to Islam, who allegedly called herself JihadJane online. And authorities say a Pennsylvania woman expressed a willingness to become a martyr on behalf of Muslims.
A federal indictment says Colleen LaRose used the Internet to recruit jihadist fighters and help terrorists overseas -- and that she even agreed to move to Europe to try to kill a Swede. An official says she had targeted a Swedish cartoonist who depicted Mohammed with the body of a dog.
According to the indictment, she wrote to a co-conspirator last year that because of her physical appearance -- she has blond hair and blue eyes -- she'd be able to "blend in with many people" in Sweden.
Authorities say she lived near Philadelphia before moving to Europe in August of last year. She was arrested in Philadelphia in October, and has been in federal custody since then.
A Justice Department official says the charges reflect "the evolving nature of the threat we face."

Picture: Willie Nelson performing at 'Kokua For Japan' fundraiser concert for victims of recent earthquake and tsunami at the Hilton Hawaiian Village Oahu, Hawaii -...
Country icon Willie Nelson has been forced to withdraw from a fundraising gig after being hospitalised with breathing problems, report the NME. The 79-year was due to play at a charity event for the Dumb Friends League in Colorado, but health concerns have taken precedent for the aging legend.
The singer's entourage decided to take no risks when it came to Willie's health after he was "suffering from breathing problems due to the high altitude and emphysema." There are currently no further updates to his state of health.A recent interview with the Guardian may shed some light on Willie's recent breathing problems. He told the English newspaper, known for its left wing values, that "If we made marijuana legal, we'd save a whole lotta money and lives." The country and western veteran went on to explain his views on the drug's health concerns: "most people realise it's not a deadly drug like cocaine or cigarettes. Cigarettes killed my mother, my dad, half my family, so don't tell me about health when you're talking about legalising marijuana because it's not dangerous healthwise." Nelson was himself arrested for possession of the drug he so often eulogises and justifies in 2009.
The news will leave fans of the wily old singer tremendously upset, and he represented somewhat of a coup for the Dumb Friends League. With a staggering 200 albums under his belt, and 7 Grammy awards, his pedigree is without question, but at 78, health matters are a priority, even though the man lives to be on stage.

I have always been a fan of this show until this season. I don't think any of the girls are pretty nor do any of them having outstanding personalities (yet that I've seen). My boyfriend walked in the middle of Girlicious (thinking it was Top Model) and said that all of the models this season were really pretty. Then, he realized it wasn't Top Model. I'm not going to be watching too much of this.

I think it has to be an easy question but I have been searching around and have not found the answer anywhere.
The think is that I have an html page with some scripts (in the body) like this one:
<script type="text/javascript">grf();</script>
The grf() function is defined in an external .js file. The question is: is this function executed once the browser has loaded the page AND all of its external js files? Or it can be the case that the function is executed before the .js files are loaded? And if so, how can I prevent this?

If you really wanna go Canon I'd weigh the price/features to see what you can live with. Some top out at 1/500 on the shutter an some have better/larger viewfinders or combined vf/rf windows.
I don't own a Canon (so I won't recommend a specific model) but seriously considered one at one point until I happened into a Leica IIIf.
The Canons offer good value if you want an interchangeable lens setup.

Did he mention which Zorki?
FSU (Soviet) cameras can be hit or miss but if the seller is a respected member you should be okay.
Sounds like a possible decent deal.
Jupiter 8 can be quite good.
If you want discrete, one of my dream RF's is a Olympus 35 SP. Although the price might be just around your pricepoint, maybe a smidge more?
jnanian offered me a zorki 4 with the jupiter 8 f/2. i've been reading up on them and they get very mixed reviews. but do seem to be capable of awesome photos.

45 minutes
● 4 whole red bell peppers
● 19 ozs. ground pork or beef or a mix of the 2, extra lean
● 1 whole medium onion — chopped
● 2 cloves garlic — minced
● 2 tsp. beef bouillon granules
● 2 tsp. House Seasoning
● 1 cup rice — cooked
● 1/2 cup salsa
● 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
● 1/2 cup sour cream
● 1 cup diced tomatoes
● 1/2 cup chopped green onions — tops only
● 1 tbsp. soy sauce
● 1 cup hot water
● 8 tbsp. Italian cheese, shredded
How to make it
Preheat oven to 350º.
Start by cutting the peppers in half lengthwise, leaving the stems intact. Remove the seeds and ribs inside the peppers.
Using a hot skillet, saute the ground beef, pork, onion, garlic, 1 teaspoon of bouillon granules, and house seasoning together. Saute until onions become translucent. Drain the fat off.
Add the rice, cheese, sour cream, tomatoes, green onion tops, and soy sauce. Mix well and stuff the mixture into the peppers.
In a small bowl, mix the hot water and the remaining bouillon granules. Pour this mixture into a shallow casserole large enough to hold all of the peppers. Place the stuffed peppers in the dish, cover with foil and bake for 25 to 35 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 to 15 minutes.
Add 1 tablespoon Italian cheese on each and broil until golden. Serve with sour cream.
1/3 cup salt
1/4 cup black pepper
1/4 cup garlic powder
Mix ingredients together and store in an airtight container for up to 6 months.
Print it!

They can both mean troubled or worried, based on my reading of Google Translate. But are there subtle differences in usage or context between them?
You seem to have some sort of confusion here.
"Preocupar" means:
"Molestar" literally means:
"Molestado" needs some elaboration particularly in its use. It is gramatically incorrect to say "estoy molestado"; you say "estoy molesto" ("I'm annoyed" or "I'm pissed") or "estoy preocupado" ("I'm worried", "I'm troubled").
In the context of having someone make you upset, you would rather say "me han molestado" or "he sido molestado" which both mean more or less "somebody has hassled me" or "I have been disturbed" or even "somebody made me upset" or "I have been bothered".
Maybe if you could give a little more context into why you think both terms mean troubled or worried you could get a better answer.
Hope this helps.

Can you name this pretty park and the town where it's found?
Photographed by Benjamin WilliamsonA calm momentarily presides over this normally lively town park, where a bronze Civil War soldier plays stoic sentinel to freshly fallen snow atop a block of granite. Built by a prominent 19th-century sculptor — a Maine native who also created the Peace Monument in Washington, DC — the sculpture stands kitty-corner to a handsome city hall and just blocks from a Catholic church that received the title of Minor Basilica from the Vatican a little over a decade ago. Named after two saints, one of whom has patronage over a primary industry in the Pine Tree State, this nearby church is one of the last remaining places in Maine to attend regular masses conducted in French. A few blocks in the other direction winds a river, the name of which derives from an Algonquin word meaning "river of cliff rock shelters." That river attracted industry in the 19th century, and it was the parent company of the town's first textile mills that set aside this 9-acre parcel as a pleasuring ground for its employees. The park once went by a much more generic name than today, but in the 1960s, it was renamed for a speaker who reportedly prompted some 14,000 people to gather here on a freezing November night.
If you can name this pretty park and town where it's found, send us a note at P.O. Box 679, Camden, ME 04843; shoot an email to [email protected]; or post a comment to downeast.com. We'll feature our favorite letter in an upcoming issue — and send the winner a Down East wall calendar.

I'm calling you out to help a great cause. Big 12 has a big partnership with Special Olympics, and Special Olympics Iowa summer games are held in Ames -- Iowa State athletes help the SOI athletes during that time too.
Special Olympics Iowa is starting a fundraising effort called Pigskin Madness...College Teams Edition. The cost is $20, and $8,450 will be paid out over the 13-week season--$650 per week.
Here's how it works. You purchase a ticket. On the ticket it has three team listed for each week. You add up the points each of those teams score during that week to get your total score. The top 8 for each week will get prize money, as well as the bottom three totals for each week.
Please see the Special Olympics Iowa website for more information. Special Olympics Iowa | Grimes, Iowa
The website says it need to be turned in by last Friday, but they are still accepting them. They will be doing everything they can to get all of them in by week 1, so the sooner you get it in the better.
The teams included are those from the Big 10 and Big 12, plus UNI, Alabama, Arkansas, Auburn, Boise State, LSU, Notre Dame, Oregon, Stanford, & TCU.
Contact Special Olympics Iowa at 515-986-5520 if you'd like to play or if you have any questions. Please help out a great cause!

Rand steadies above R9Comment on this story
Johannesburg – The rand was little changed in early trade on Friday' trapped in a range between R9.00 and 9.08 to the US dollar since Thursday amid a lack of fresh catalysts.
At 8.39am' the rand was bid at R9.0479 to the US dollar from R9.0686 at Thursday's close. The local currency was bid at R12.0910 to the euro from its previous close of R12.1190 and at R14.2644 against sterling from R14.3007 before.
The euro was bid at $1.3367' unchanged from Thursday's close.
On the week' however' the local currency is much weaker across the board.
Reserve Bank governor Gill Marcus noted on Thursday that rand weakness remained an upside risk to the inflation outlook.
But Absa Capital analysts said there was no evidence to suggest the central bank was ready to defend the currency either by means of direct policy action or by moral persuasion.
"Instead' the Reserve Bank appears hopeful that the rand is not in free-fall' while acknowledging that the rand performance over the coming months depends on the sustainability of portfolio inflows'" the analysts said. - I-Net Bridge

If you're a Saabphile with a little time to kill, you may want to head over to Saab's official website -- the automaker recently launched an interactive configurator tool for its all-new 2010 9-5 sedan.
For the most part, the application is a bit primitive. At this point, it allows us only to choose between seven paint hues and seven wheel choices. Colors include Jet Black, Fjord Blue, Glacier Silver, and three different variations of grey. You'll apparently have your choice of three different 17-inch wheel patterns, two 18-inch designs, and the top-end 19-inch "turbine" wheels.
Saab won't let us play with the interior color schemes, but the 9-5's cabin is as stylish as its exterior. Recessed instrument dials are illuminated in green, and LED accent lighting helps set a relaxed mood. Saab loyalists will be happy (and possibly not too surprised) to see the Night Panel function -- which dims all interior lighting save for the speedometer or telltale warnings -- returns to the new car. A 10-gigabyte internal hard drive serves as a music source, but a USB port allows for drivers to connect and listen to either MP3s loaded on flash drives or portable media players.
We wish Saab would let us fully spec-out the new car to our hearts' content, but since the webpage is designed for global audiences, options and model packages would likely differ slightly from country to country.
Even the 9-5 range itself will vary over time. At launch, only the top-end Aero trim will be available, which uses a 300-horsepower, twin-turbocharged 2.8-liter V-6 and Saab's XWD all-wheel-drive system.
Pricing for the 2010 Aero itself will start at $49,990 when it reaches dealers in July. The remainder of the 9-5 engine and model variants are expected to reach dealers later this fall as 2011 models.

Budget 2014: What's in it for small business? [PDF: 395KB]
New Zealand is a country of small and medium sized businesses ("SMEs"). Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment statistics indicate that SMEs with up to 20 employees account for 97% of all NZ businesses, employ 30% of all employees, and contribute 27.8% of New Zealand's GDP . A vibrant and high performing SME sector is therefore critical to the prosperity of New Zealand.
So what does Budget 2014 have in store for this vital sector? Head of KPMG's Private Enterprise Team, Paul McPadden, explains the impacts on SMEs.
Extending apprenticeship subsidies and employment grants
Budget 2014 contains $20m for an additional 6,000 trade apprenticeships under the Government's Apprenticeship Reboot subsidy programme, introduced last year. That programme provides subsidies of $1,000 to $2,000 per trainee, with employers eligible for an equal payment.
This measure should be welcomed by SMEs, particularly those supporting the Christchurch rebuild and housing construction sectors (as these are priority trades for the Government's apprenticeship programme). However, there will be a lag between the right skills coming online from apprenticeships, and the immediate need for businesses struggling to find qualified trade employees.
Similarly, supporting the innovation focus, Government has provided a further $199 million for lifting tuition subsidies in science, agriculture, ICT, and two health sciences (pharmacy and physiotherapy). There is also additional funding for more Centres of Research Excellence. Increasing skills over time is essential to foster the growth in capability of New Zealand businesses, and particularly SMEs.
Another Budget 2014 initiative is a $3,000 (tax-free) grant to encourage job seekers to take up work in Christchurch, which may assist Canterbury businesses in the interim. With a much lower unemployment rate than the rest of New Zealand, the Government is looking to match demand in Christchurch with supply. However, again, the issue for Canterbury SMEs will be getting the right skills to fill vacancies.
The same old tax regime for SMEs
Last year's Budget contained some tax sweeteners for SMEs undertaking R&D, with a proposal allowing their initial R&D tax losses to be cashed-up. Businesses and employees were also given a "tax cut" through a reduction in ACC levies, with the promise of more reductions to come.
Budget 2014 signals further reductions in ACC levies, and this is welcome. The Government has budgeted for around $480 million in 2015/16, with the actual amounts to be confirmed after public consultation by ACC. The Budget also confirms the R&D tax proposals in last year's Budget will proceed. The Government expects this will return nearly $60 million to businesses over the next four years.
There are no game-changers for SMEs from a tax perspective, however. Disappointingly, tax simplification for small business seems to have dropped off the Government's agenda.
SMEs generally have to follow the same tax rules, with their inherent complexities, as large businesses. For example, New Zealand's financial arrangements tax rules must be applied if a New Zealand business has foreign sales, which are hedged to the NZD (not uncommon given the volatility of our dollar).The financial arrangements rules require complex calculations to work out the gain/loss on the hedge.
Other countries allow their SMEs to operate under simplified tax principles and rules, reflecting the additional time and costs of requiring a higher degree of accuracy. This needs to be considered in New Zealand, given the disproportionate compliance costs faced by SMEs.
Some countries also have different tax rates for small business, and offer a variety of tax concessions, to reflect the unique contribution of SMEs to their economies. New Zealand has largely eschewed this approach in favour of treating all businesses the same, under a "broad based low rate" approach to tax policy. It may be timely to review this where SMEs are concerned.

Splitboard purchase
Alright, I'm gonna break down and do this. I'm tired of searching for used. It seems like a decent used setup is going to run $5-600 and if I'm gonna drop that kind of coin, I might as well go ahead and buy new and have a warranty.
Still, I'm not trying to break the bank here.
The options I'm considering
Voile Mojo 166
Prior Backcountry 165
K2 Panoramic 162 or 168
Honestly, I'd be sold on the Panoramic IF they made something in between the 162 and the 168. That seems like one helluva jump between sizes. Ideally, I'd want something in the 164-165 range. In riding shape with all my gear, I'm probably 200-205#. 210# tops. I like the system K2 uses to secure the skins. I like the fact that it's a little on the softer side and slightly freestyle oriented. My only concern is exactly how freestyle oriented is it? I'm not looking for a split park stick, but if it's something along the lines of an NS Heritage, I would consider that ideal.
Deal wise, I think the Prior may be the best deal. It's on clearance for $576 through REI and I'm seeing Voile kits and skins on sale elsewhere for $120ish each. Total investment for it would be under $850. It'd be $900ish for the K2. $720ish for the Voile.
My normal riding style at the resort is lots of hard charging, lots of jumping off everything I can find and a lot of pow butters when the opportunity presents itself. Resort riding is a fairly equal mix of a NS Evo, NS Heritage, and Capita Charlie Slasher for pow days. My backcountry riding is relatively limited and has mostly been relegated to survival mode on legs beat to shit trying to keep up with killclimbz and his crew.
What say you guys?

Fox "News"? Not So Much
by Mike Stanz
posted Aug 13 2014 5:00AM
Shepard Smith is a host at Fox News. For some reason, while airing a "tribute" to Robin Williams, Smith referred to Robin as "such a coward" for taking his own life.
Smith later "apologized" for his remark. That word is in quotes for a reason.
Here's part of what he said to the website
"… if any of his family members and friends were to have seen me use the word 'coward,' I would be horrified. I would just to apologize to the end of the earth to anyone who might think that I meant to openly call him a coward.
"To the core of my being, I regret it. It just came out of my mouth. And I'm so sorry. And to anyone and their families who see that, I am sorry."
You tell me: Is that an apology or a back-pedal?
Maybe they should take the "News" out of the equation and just call the network "

A four-part framework to measure how your business is doing with its online marketing initiatives.
Increasingly, the biggest issue that businesses seem to encounter while deploying analytics involves business processes, and not technology. That view was reinforced last week when I was running a workshop with a group of students studying in an Internet retailing master's program.
As part of the session, I asked the class what they thought some of the key ingredients were in executing successful Internet optimization. They started off by throwing out items like "good data" and "technology," and then moved on to things like "flexibility," "willingness to fail," "good hypotheses," "risk culture," and "strong business model." I then asked the class how many of them worked in organizations that had those characteristics. No hands went up.
Often organizations are happy to spend money on new campaigns or large-scale product development on their sites without thinking or being explicitly clear about how they will measure the campaign's effectiveness or the new piece of functionality. So how do they know that they have done a good job? Measurement also needs to be built into the campaign or product development process as well. Here is a simple framework to use:
State the Objectives
Before you start, be very clear about what you are trying to achieve. State your objectives and make sure that they aren't "marshmallow objectives." Marshmallow objectives are soft and squidgy objectives that don't hold up to scrutiny and are difficult to measure. People often talk about making objectives "SMART": specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, and time-bound. Try to make your objectives as SMART as possible. If you come up with objectives like "improve the user experience," force yourself to be smarter and ask questions like why, which users, in what way, and by when?
Define the Success Indicators or KPIs
Next, define your success indicators or KPIs. These should relate directly back to your objectives. If the objectives are SMART, the definition of the success metrics should be relatively straightforward. Constantly ask yourself: What does good look like? If I'm achieving my objectives, what will be happening in my business or on my site? Sometimes it can be difficult to measure objectives based on direct measures, so you may need to come up with other success metrics that represent indirect measures of success.
Perform a Gap Analysis
Once you know what you want to measure, analyze what you can measure now compared to what you ideally want to measure. Where are the gaps? Do you have the right measurement systems in place, and are they configured the right way? For example, if you want to improve the likelihood of someone booking a holiday once she's done the research on the site, you might set up a success metric based on visitors' propensity to book at a later date. You may need a survey in place to be able to measure that. So do you need to set up a survey from scratch, or do you just need to ask a specific question on an existing voice of the customer program?
Create a Measurement Road Map
The final stage is to create the measurement road map. Count the things that count. This is effectively the plan of how you will measure the things that you need to measure. Establish priorities for the work that needs to be done. Be clear about which gaps you will plug in your measurement systems and how that work will get done. This could range from just ensuring that there is a specific custom report developed through to the implementation of a new piece of software or the adoption of a new service.
This four-part framework can take days to complete or just minutes. It might be a very strategic piece of work looking at the business overall or it might be quite tactical, such as running an A/B test on a landing page. Whichever it is, it's a way of putting measurement and analytics at the heart of your business processes. So anytime you're planning to do something, ask yourself (or your colleagues): What does good look like? How will we know we've done a good job?

It seems that Superior is finally focusing on the machine embroidery market with these new trilobal threads. Magnifico has been out for awhile. I got a few spools of is as well as Fantastico and Twist at Quilt Festival, but today is the first I've seen Fantastico on their web site and Twist has yet to appear there.
I used Magnifico for both shades of green in this placemat project, and it was gorgeous, but I haven't done any side-by-side comparison with any of my other poly threads. I particularly want to compare it to Floriani
"I am a degenerate art supply junkie" - Jane Davenport
Beautiful work, Tess! May I ask the name of the embroidery pattern? Thank you for the thread info! I have not tried it, but would like to.
I will be interested to hear the results of your comparison to Floriani. Floriani is my preferred embroidery thread, I love the sheen and the twist it has.
------Bernina 880, Creative Sensation Pro, Bernina350SE,
MY DIL recently got an emb. machine, mostly for kids stuff.
What is your go-to thrifty thread and Online source?
She hasn't liked working with the slippery or too shiny thread available in the standard stores.
Ken's Sewing Center sells Exquisite Poly (I believe this is the same as the old Melco Arc thread) for $2.50 a 1000 meter cone with free shipping. I purchased quite a bit of
Arc when I first started. I use mostly Madiera Poly now, which is sold for 2.63 per 1000 m at Allstitch, with free shipping over $150. I stick to the poly thread because I do things like tea towels to sell, and mostly childrens things.
If she is doing mainly children's items, she will probably want to use one of the poly threads.

I buy from www.metroemb.com
The mini poly cones are $.69 each if you buy the sets. They offer free conversion software so you can match colors listed in the design (I.e., Madeira to metro). I have had no problems with the thread shredding, breaking, or otherwise misbehaving. I do use a thread cone stand next to the machine because I've found that it helps prevent operator error of either putting the spool cap on too tightly or too loose (I do this on my regular sewing machine too - it's a gift )
I would recommend she get a small starter set and "play".
I've also had great results with Gungold thread. It's more expensive but Wawak has a lot of sales and I buy a lot of my notions from them. (request a catalog - their website is behind the times but it's a very reputable company with friendly customer service reps). My Viking #1/1200 only played nicely with gungold when doing embroidery or very dense satin stitching which is why I have it on hand. Happily the Viking also likes the metro embroidery thread too.
I've also used gungold poly when doing rolled hems on my sergers but haven't tried the metro in the serger...yet

Does anyone know: Is Wawak the old Atlanta thread?
Yes - Wawak acquired Atlanta Thread about a year ago. I've been pleased with the service I've received from the company.
Superior now has Twist up on their site.
