text: Posted August 4, 2014 As for no scientific studies, that is also not correct and many countries have been considering banning GMO completely:The truth is, we don't know enough about GMOs to deem them safe for human consumption. Believe it or not the very first commercial sale of them was only twenty years ago. There is no possible way that our health authorities can test all possible combinations on a large enough population, over a long enough period of time to be able to say with absolute certainty that they are harmless. There are a multitude of credible scientific studies that clearly demonstrate why GMOs should not be consumed, and more are emerging every year. There are also a number of scientists all around the world that oppose them.http://www.collective-evolution.com/2014/04/08/10-scientific-studies-proving-gmos-can-be-harmful-to-human-health/ meh those links. To summarize, please just read http://www.geneticliteracyproject.org/wp/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/Nicolia-20131.pdf in which 1700 studies from 2002 to 2012 were analyzed and not a single credible example of the dangers of GMO foods was found. 1) Multiple "toxins" from GMOs found in fetal & maternal blood: The researchers here report finding some metabolites of products from GMOs. But interestingly, what this study shows is that previous studies that demonstrated the toxicity of GUFs used ridiculously high dosages compared to what are found in humans. In other words, to get negative effects in mammals from a pesticide exposure, researchers had to use dosages far exceeding what humans were and are exposed to. 2) Genomes in the bloodstream Nothing to do with health consequences of GMO foods; in fact, if you're going to be afraid of what is suggested here you should really be afraid of pretty much anything you eat. They don't find just "GMO genes," but entire genomes from plants. 3) GMOs cause gluten sensitivity lol what, this "source" is basically an infomercial linking to various gluten free & vegan food companies. Blech. 4) Seralini rat tumor study This study was so prone with errors it was retracted. Note the new title here: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0278691512005637 5) Glyphosates induce breast cancer Not what the paper quoted says. Indeed, in cell cultures you can get abnormal effects, but as the study concludes, animal models must be tested, too. Which has been done. See http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23480780 6) Glyphosates cause birth defects See above link. Also, EPA & WHO have certified it as safe (http://www.epa.gov/oppsrrd1/REDs/factsheets/0178fact.pdf and http://whqlibdoc.who.int/publications/2006/9241665203_eng.pdf) 7) Glyphosates cause everything that is wrong. This paper is nonsense and a bunch of dataless bullcrap. It is psuedoscience and it irritates me it's still going around. See 8) Sick people got more glypho! More questionable results. 1) Who are the "chronically ill" people? How is this defined? Who are the healthy people? How is this defined? 2) those error bars, wow. 2 ng/ml vs 1.7 is all it takes to make you chronically ill? 3) pay lots of money, publish anything. :( Open access is great but ... There are problems with it. 9) pigs pigs oh god! we already discussed this study at length. if you'd like to see the scientific communities rebuttal to it, you can read my previous posts. In short: their statistical analysis is flawed, their method of assessing inflammation was poorly done, and their pigs were terribly mistreated and ALL were terribly unhealthy. 10) Testing methods are not always standardized This is a fair criticsm but I think it is a stretch to say the 1700+ studies on GMOs finding the various types of GMOs are safe are therefor invalid. fwiw I still dislike roundup ready gmo stuff but don't have a problem with the technology. monsanto are assholes tho.

There are plenty of examples of where $5 million in tax dollars has gone in downtown Franklin: Henderson Drugs' updated storefront, Indigo Duck restaurant's renovated interior and facade work, just to name a few.
During the past six years the Franklin Development Corp. has loaned or given money to 26 homeowners to fix up their homes. It also has approved low-interest loans so 16 businesses could renovate the inside of their shops and paid half the cost, nearly $690,000, for 16 building owners to restore their building facades. The organization put about $2 million toward larger projects, such as buying land to help Ivy Tech's Franklin campus expand and helping renovate the long-vacant Hazelett building.
Those funds are now mostly gone. Of the original $5 million from the city's tax-increment financing, or TIF, districts, less than $200,000 remains for additional projects. The organization also was spending up to $200,000 per year in operating costs from a separate pool of $600,000 to pay for its director, legal fees, office expenses and fees for project reviews.
And now the organization is preparing to ask for more.
How or if the Franklin Development Corp. will get more money hasn't been decided. City officials said they see benefits from the projects the group has helped fund, which have sparked new interest in downtown Franklin, including new businesses or an existing owner wanting to fix up a building. But the city likely won't cut another large check for the organization like the first time. Instead of giving the organization money and having the board approve and fund projects, the group should find the projects first, then ask for money, Mayor Joe McGuinness, city council president Steve Barnett and Franklin Redevelopment Commission chairman Bob Heuchan said.
"I don't ever see a situation come up again where that big block of money goes out the door," Heuchan said.
McGuinness would rather see both the Franklin Development Corp. and the city redevelopment commission wait before considering giving out more money. About $900,000 worth of projects approved last year have barely started, so the group should now be focused on completing those and then analyze how they've contributed to the downtown before pursuing new work, he said.
The funding shortfall has put additional programs planned by the organization on hold. Board members are getting updates on ongoing projects. They review their loan and grant programs to decide whether those were beneficial to the community. They're asking other city officials and residents for suggestions on other programs, such as flipping rundown houses or offering small business loans.
"I think we have accomplished a lot, and we had a clear vision to deploy dollars toward improvement, whether it was to the city or the residential areas that qualified. And I think overall we've accomplished quite a bit. We've got a lot of success," board president John Ditmars said.
The organization was formed to spur new economic growth in the city, especially downtown. The $5 million in funding came from the city's TIF district, where property taxes collected from businesses are set aside to pay for economic development or infrastructure projects.
In addition to giving out grants or loans, the organization also was designed to take on projects the city or redevelopment commission couldn't do. For example, the city was trying to purchase the last four houses in the flood buyout but hadn't been able to due to mortgages or liens on those properties. The Franklin Development Corp. was able to buy the homes at tax sale and will give them to the city so they can be demolished.
"That's kind of contribution that we made that doesn't get a whole lot of emphasis on it, but it's contributing to making it happen. Without our involvement there might be unnecessary delays," Ditmars said.
The organization also can help fund repairs or redevelop housing and has helped 26 homeowners make repairs with low-interest loans. Heuchan wants to see more of that work in the future, he said.
The majority of organization's funding went into downtown for facade improvements or business renovations. The renovations done to the Hazelett building, which was deteriorating after more than a decade of standing vacant, may not have happened without the group's investment of $400,000, McGuinness said.
Businesses are still contacting the city each month to ask about facade grants or find out what kind of incentives might be available to help with their new business. That continued interest from business will help board members make a case as to why the city should continue funding the Franklin Development Corp., Ditmars said. Board members want to be able to go to the redevelopment commission later this year with a detailed plan of how the board will spend money in the future and how it will benefit the city, Ditmars said.
"You can drive through town and see the fact there has been some pretty positive initiatives going on. Some of that, certainly not all, is because of the FDC involvement and what we were able to contribute to that effort. It's been a collaborative effort with the city, and I think there is a lot of momentum right now to keep it going," he said.
The organization hasn't always made the right moves for the city and wasn't open about how it made decisions on what projects were being funded, Barnett said. The new board has made vast improvements to inform the public and other city officials about how they plan to use the tax dollars. Those moves have created a new level of trust between the organization and the city, Barnett said.

"Doing films in Mexico is pretty difficult; it's not yet a self-sustaining industry," says Gael Garcia Bernal. "But one thing you can do is manage to make films without very much money. There was an energy developing around the things that we wanted to do, and there came a point when we thought, 'You know what, why don't we concentrate all this energy? Why don't we make it in practical terms and build a company?'" Garcia Bernal is in Cannes with his directorial debut, "Deficit." The Guardian reports.

Q103 Is Taking on Rock on the Range with Live Coverage
Q103 is taking a major step at Rock on the Range this year. Last year, we were quiet observers, but this year we're letting Columbus, Ohio know that Albany, New York is in the house.
Q103 is taking a major step at Rock on the Range this year. Last year, we were quiet observers, but this year we're letting Columbus, Ohio know that Albany, New York is in the house.
Rock on the Range is a officially a week away! It's also a week away until my birthday (hint, hint)! I'm going to Rock on the Range for my second time, and will make sure to get the greatest coverage of the show.
Tuesday night, Alternative Press's AP Tour took place at Northern Lights in Clifton Park. Five bands took the stage: Conditions, Versa Emerge, I See Stars and Black Veil Brides, who were the headliners. The co-headliners and other performance was by one of my new favorite bands (who I've written several blogs on already), D.R.U.G.S, or Destroy Rebuild Until God Shows, who were so completely amazing that I cried, no lie.
Saturday night, three awesome bands rocked the stage at Albany's Times Union Center. Sevendust, Three Days Grace and Avenged Sevenfold all performed and put on an amazing show individually and as a whole.
I told you that the Big Four would be coming to the East Coast but wasn't sure of the location. Well, now we have one!
Last night, six bands shook up the stage at Northern Lights for the last night of the Atticus Metal Tour III. The line-up was as follows: a local band, This or the Apocalypse, The Human Abstract, As Blood Runs Black, Darkest Hour and Born of Osiris. It was an awesome Metal show that left me with a sore neck and legs from rocking out so hard, but it was definitely worth it!
This past Friday, the boys from COLD were in the studio for an on-air interview before their show at Northern Lights with bands The Lost Sons, Oceans Divide, Kopek and Egypt Central. The night was filled with laughs, pictures, awesome music and fans rocking out to their favorite bands.
Last night Australian musical trio the Sick Puppies rocked the stage at Northern Lights in Clifton Park. Beforehand, they took over the Q103 station with their on-air DJ skills. Overall it was a fantastic day and night, and I had a blast hanging with them and getting to know them a bit. They are awesome people and an amazing band who put on a great show.
The Glens Falls Civic Center has announced a New Era in ticket service. All events at the Glens Falls Civice Center can now be purchased at www.glensfallscc.com including concerts, sporting events and more.
This is a band I have heard a lot of people wanting back for another concert. Well you have your wish because they are returning to the Capital Region.
Q-Tease Jen and I love to blog. For this concert, we decided to create a mega post on how great the Saturday concert with Apocalyptica was. 'A' most certainly is for awesome...

OKC Barons getting hot at the right time
The Oklahoma City Barons are getting hot at the right time.
The Barons, though, will have to remain hot to reach the playoffs for the third consecutive season.
Oklahoma City will play three games in three days, starting with a road game Friday night at Texas, capped by home games Saturday night and Sunday afternoon against the Chicago Wolves.
"We're playing our best hockey right now, but we've got to keep that going," said center Chris VandeVelde. "I don't want to really compare the teams but it reminds me a lot of last year. We're winning simple things and overwhelming teams with our hard work."
Last season the Barons got off to a fast start en route to the No. 1 overall seed in the Western Conference. This season they've hovered around the playoff bubble all season.
Nine teams in the Western Conference are battling for the final four playoffs berths. Oklahoma City is in seventh. Eight teams make the playoffs.
The Barons, though, have been on a roll, going 9-3-3 their last 15 games.
"That's hopefully a good sign for us moving forward," said defenseman Taylor Fedun. "We really have to bear down and get these important (standings) points. Even though we've been winning games other teams are winning, too."
One advantage the Barons have is games in hand over all playoff contenders below them in the standings.
"But you have to win those games," said Barons coach Todd Nelson. "The reason we've been winning consistently is we've been getting contributions from everybody."
The differences have been an improved defense that hasn't allowed more than three goals in a game in three weeks; a red-hot penalty killing unit that hasn't allowed a power play goal seven straight games and the return of goaltender Yann Danis.
After the NHL lockout ended Danis spent much of the first two months serving as Edmonton's backup. Since Danis was reassigned to Oklahoma City the 31-year-old veteran has started the past seven games, going 4-1-2 with a 2.09 goals against average and .915 saves percentage.
"Getting Yann back certainly helped," Nelson said. "And our special teams have been better. All that stuff combined it's starting to come together."
Veteran Jonathan Cheechoo, who has played in 501 NHL games, said another key factor has been improved play in the third period.
"We've been able to lock down some wins," Cheechoo said. "When I got here we were letting teams back in games, sometimes losing two points. We've been better on defense and the penalty kill which are big in the third period."
Instead of focusing on the big picture, Nelson and his staff have broken down the last 25 games into five-game segments the past month.
OKC has 10 games left in the regular season. A new five-game segment begins Friday night against the Stars.
"I think smaller goals have helped us," Nelson said. "We don't want to get too far ahead. We know it's going to be a dogfight to the end. I like where we're at right now but every one of these last 10 games will be big."
BARONS at TEXAS STARS
* When: 7 p.m. Friday
* Where: Cedar Park Center (Cedar Park, Texas).
* Radio: KXXY-FM 96.1, Jim Byers play-by-play.
* Scouting report: The Stars lead the Western Conference but the Barons have dominated the season series, going 7-3-1, although five of the wins were when Edmonton young stars Jordan Eberle, Taylor Hall and Justin Schultz were playing in OKC during the NHL lockout... Barons forward Mark Arcobello, who has moved into the top 10 in the AHL in scoring (57 points), has scored 11 points in 10 games against Houston... The Stars' top scorer Matt Fraser currently is with Dallas. Their leading scorer on the roster is Colton Soeviour (44 points)... Texas goalie Cristopher Nilstorp is 18-10-8 with a 2.27 goals against average.

"If you want to win, you've got to cheat," my friend Dale told me.
The moment was spiked with irony, as we were standing outside church, where the minister had just admonished us to be wary of sinning "in little ways."
Since no lightning bolt came down from above, the conversation continued.
What struck me most was that Dale's declaration — one shared by many fans I speak with these days — hardly seems debatable.
Pushing the cheating envelope is common, even expected.
Even those who don't cheat — see the Orioles' Chris Davis and his 50 home runs — are widely assumed to be wily and deceptive, rather than talented.
Every success comes with an asterisk or a question mark.
Do the wins justify the means?
My friend was talking about NASCAR's latest debacle. Clint Bowyer's "unintentional" spin and an uncontested pass by another teammate late at Richmond, Va., on Sept. 7 effectively altered the field for the Chase for the Sprint Cup Championship, the sport's final 12 racing showdown.
Dale was lamenting, not condoning, cheating. He was not speaking in absolutes, as in "everybody cheats." It was more of a resignation that many pro athletes seem to think cheating "in little ways" is a way to get a winning edge.
The issue is about more than Joey Logano passing Jeff Gordon as the final driver to make the elite field. (Note: In response to allegations of race-fixing, NASCAR took the unprecedented step of adding Gordon as a 13th driver in the Chase.)
This is just the latest example of rampant rationalization in big-time sports. The idea that anything goes (as long as you don't caught) seems to have progressed from the exception to the rule.
Is big-time sports in danger of losing its moral compass? Or in that compass already stuck on true south?
Money, performance-enhancing drugs, bounties, spying, a well-timed crash. How far does it go?
Baseball's once-brightest star juiced his way to a $270 million contract, and the 2011 NL MVP did the same.
The former Super Bowl champions rewarded headhunting.
A three-time Super Bowl winning coach spied on his rivals.
Cycling's greatest star ever doped during training and races.
Have we reached the point where anything goes?
Just as important, when will it stop?
As allegations emerged last week about SEC football players taking money from agents as part of a well-orchestrated, multischool network last week, we are far from reversing course.
It's easy to say this is nothing new. After all, baseball's Leo Durocher first opined that "nice guys finish last" back in 1939.
Certainly, there have been sad chapters of cheating in each generation, from the Black Sox baseball scandal on. But now I fear we are at a tipping point.
It no longer appears to be the exception for players and coaches to cheat but the expectation. When was the last time you genuinely were surprised by a sports scandal?
Here is the danger in that. If we live in a sports world where cheating — real or perceived — is pervasive, an honest effort no longer is enough. The scales are permanently tilted against those who seek to play with integrity.
Is Dale that far off? If you want to win, do you have to cheat?
I hope not.
But with each revelation, a line that should be black and white is stained gray.

|I am Kristy Glass and I am so thrilled to be infiltrating the Lion Brand blog to lead you in the Clement Canyon Poncho Crochet-Along! Even though I learned to knit as a girl, my passion for fiber arts has escalated at a very steep rate these past several years.
I returned to knitting and began crocheting about 8 years ago after I suffered an unexpected health setback leaving me feeling completely out of control. Hand work was a healing salve for my body and soul as I suffered through a long healing process. Thankfully I continue to use knitting to aid meditation, solace and a feeling of accomplishment. I knit year round, despite weather changes, and I am highly anticipating us all knitting together on this project.
I have completed over 100 projects including scarves, cowls, hats, hand warmers, phone cozies, afghans, pillows, sweaters and yarn bombing. My most recent passion has been making sweaters and actually wearing what I make!

Just a few weeks ago we all joined together along with Lion Brand Yarn to begin our Summer 2015 Crochet Along!! The Sabrina Tunic was voted by the fans as the project we would all be making. I was so excited; it was my first choice too. We gathered our supplies, made gauge swatches, stitched a beautiful yoke, started the body and now here we are… Ready to put on the finishing touches!!
Below is my finished Sabrina Tunic! I absolutely love it and I know I will be wearing it over and over again. Vanna's Glamour® gives this fashionable piece just the right amount of sparkle, while remaining very comfortable to wear… I can't wait to see yours too!!
Next, you will you will finish your edging… I love the way this decorative stitch pattern using all the colors finished off my tunic!! I think the edging might be my favorite part of this pattern, simple yet elegant!! Below is a close up picture of my edging, this would also make a great boarder around an afghan… What do you think??
Happy Crocheting!!

Posted in Crochet-Along, Crocheting | Comments Off on Sabrina Tunic Crochet-Along Week 5: The Finishing Touches! Comments
This week has been a really great week to work on the Sabrina Tunic!! We are finishing up the body and getting ready to head for the finish line. If you're like me, summer is a very busy time! By the time the evening rolls around, I love to sit and crochet while watching a great movie. Now that we have transitioned from the fun stitching techniques of the yoke to the simple stitching on the body, I have been able to sit and crochet with our any worries. Last week we started the body and found that it was as easy as ever! Just simple double crochet, one row in front loops and the next in back loops…
If you're ready to finish up the body of your Sabrina Tunic, let's get started!! You should have a few inches of the body done already… It's fun to see how this project is taking shape!! Mine is really looking like a fashionable tunic and I can't wait to see how the edging finishes it off!! So, this week we are continuing in the same pattern, switching to the largest hook and ending up with 17 inches of the body completed. Next week we will work on all the edgings which will add a couple more inches. Below is my progress picture of week 4 showing the yoke and 17 inches of the body complete in a size M/L.
1: Depending on how you like your tunic to fit, you can adjust the length of your body. After you get approximately 15 inches of the body complete, try on your tunic. Remember, the bottom edging will add 3-4 inches. You can make the tunic shorter by stopping at any point, If you like it longer… just keep going until you reach your desired length!
2: Don't forget to count your stitches every few rows. It is still easy to miss a stitch and after a few rows you may be off by a few. Even a few less stitches will make your garment not fit as intended.
3: When measuring, start by gently shaking your garment to let it settle into place. Hang your garment on a hanger then measure while it is hanging. As you add rows, your crochet piece will get heavier and by hanging it you will get a better measurement for the length. You can see my picture below.
This week I will be attending the CGOA Knit & Crochet Show in San Diego! If you are going, make sure to say hi if you see me. I would love to meet all the Summer 2015 Crochet Along members and other crochet-aholics!!
Happy Crocheting!!

Welcome back to the Lion Brand Summer 2015 Crochet Along!! I can't believe we are going to be half way done by the end of this week!! My Sabrina Tunic is really looking great and now that I have started the body this project is really beginning to look like a wearable piece of art!!
Last week we worked on the yoke, there were lots of interesting stitching techniques to help create the unique look of the upper part of our garment. I loved all the participation and questions we had going on last week both here on our Lion Brand Blog and over on our Ravelry Crochet Along Group!! If you felt like the yoke was a little difficult you were not alone… Working with the darker yarn and some of the stitching techniques made us all pay closer attention to the pattern. There seemed to be a few question about rounds 11-13, if you still have questions… Make sure to hop over to the Ravelry Group and read through last week's thread and see if it will answer any of your questions!! We had lots of great chit-chat about the yarn and pattern questions. Some of us are posting our progress pictures on Raverly too… It is great to see the Sabrina Tunic in other colors!!

31 free colonoscopies offered
Published: Wednesday, February 23, 2011 at 1:00 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, February 24, 2011 at 12:00 a.m.
Physicians at Digestive Disease Associates and North Florida Endoscopy Center have teamed up to give away 31 free colonoscopies in March, one for each day of the month.
North Central Florida residents may be eligible if they are 50 or older and have never had a screening colonoscopy, have lost their jobs and are without health insurance.
Colorectal cancer is the third most commonly diagnosed cancer in the United States, yet the American Cancer Society reports that only half the people who should be screened for colon cancer do so.
This is the second year the free screening program has been offered. Last year's screening turned up one case of colon cancer and a number of precancerous growths in others who were screened.
Those who think they are eligible for the program can call the toll-free line of Consult-a-Nurse at 800-611-6913. Nurses will ask a few brief pre-screening questions.
If eligible, callers will have a consultation scheduled. Colonoscopies will be scheduled for March, which is Colon Cancer Awareness Month.

text: High-Yield Bonds: Call Waiting Morgan Harting August 13, 2014 Americas, Asia-Pacific, Europe, Equities High-yield bonds' attractive income has made them popular in today's low-rate environment. But market complacency has caused callable-bond investors to ignore a lurking risk: duration extension in a rising-rate scenario. The vast majority of high-yield (also known as noninvestment-grade) bonds are callable. At any point after a predetermined number of years following a bond's issuance, the issuer can "call" it—meaning take the bond back from the investor before it matures. For example, a bond with a 10-year maturity is typically callable five years after issuance. The "no call" period before the call date provides investors some protection by preventing an early call. And when issuers do call a bond, they typically pay investors a premium above the face value, which provides further insulation. But investors often overlook an important risk: the chance that a bond won't be called, especially when interest rates rise. Issuers Hold the Upper Hand Historically, high-yield callable bonds' yield advantage over government bonds provided a cushion against rising rates. But with this yield advantage diminished today, that cushion is not as large. At the same time, rising interest rates often dictate the decision an issuer makes with its callable bonds (Display). If rates and yields rise enough, issuers will likely choose to not call their bonds until a later call date or simply wait until the maturity date to refinance. Investors could be left holding on to bonds they didn't plan to own so long—bonds now trading at lower prices due to rising yields. And if the bond isn't called, investors can't reinvest the proceeds in newer bonds with higher yields. This is known as extension risk. Of course, if interest rates are lower, issuers have an incentive to call bonds and issue new ones that pay lower coupon income. This cuts issuers' interest expenses but lowers the returns for investors. There's a good chance that a bond will be called if it's trading at a price higher than its call price (for example, a bond callable at $103 but trading at $105). Sometimes issuers will call a bond even if rates aren't lower, to maintain financial flexibility. They can refinance when there's demand from investors, and they don't have to risk waiting until the maturity date, when market sentiment may be much worse. Issuers will only postpone a call and let the bonds extend if rates rise enough to overcome their need for flexibility in financing. Unfortunately, it seems the market isn't properly pricing extension scenarios into callable bonds. Because we've seen a long string of interest-rate declines since the high-yield market was developed, we haven't experienced prolonged rising-rate scenarios. The result is complacency about extension risk. Managing Extension Risk We think that investors should focus on high-yield strategies that work to minimize extension risk. This can be accomplished through the use of derivatives such as credit default swaps (which aren't callable) or by carefully studying bond prices, call features and maturity dates—and knowing when to avoid bonds that don't provide enough risk compensation. High yield may still be the best answer to today's low-yield environment, but fully understanding extension risk and how it factors into callable bonds can reduce the chances of an unpleasant surprise for investors if rates rise.

My most memorable trade might be when I was new to doing GTS, and ended up trading my lvl 25 Zorua (which I had about 3 of) for a completely legit lvl 100 shiny Charizard.
Least memorable was when I trade my lvl 92 shiny Haxorus for a Mew, which turned out to be hacked.

Every Wednesday during the season, NHL.com fantasy hockey contributor Brian Metzer provides in-depth defenseman analysis. From updated weekly top 60 rankings to trending players and more, Metzer is your go-to guy for fantasy D-men advice all season long.
Thanksgiving is a national holiday celebrated in Canada and the United States as a day of being grateful for the blessing of the harvest and of the preceding year. We in the United States will celebrate this holiday on Thursday, but today the NHL's defensemen join me as we come together for our third annual defensive fantasy feast.
You are all probably used to attending gatherings that feature things like turkey, potatoes and roasted vegetables, as well as plenty of scrumptious desserts. Sadly, you'll have to wait until tomorrow for all of that, but the defensemen and I have tons of goals, assists and shots on goal, as well as secondary delights such as blocked shots and hits, to fill whet your fantasy palette!
The main course in this feast always comes in the form of goals, and since even the most lethal offensive defensemen tend to top out around 20, they are very valuable. This year Brent Burns (San Jose Sharks) and Justin Faulk (Carolina Hurricanes) were nice enough to arrive at our feast with eight goals apiece. Dustin Byfuglien (Winnipeg Jets) and Shea Weber (Nashville Predators) brought six each, and Erik Karlsson (Ottawa Senators) and Colton Parayko (St. Louis Blues) brought us five.

Heroes Rise: 50% UnlockedPosted 21 Apr 2012 by
We've finally hit the half-way mark on the Heroes Rise promotional page! The release is so close, we can nearly taste it. As it should be after 12 years of waiting. With the Open Beta currently underway (not without technical problems, of course. But it seems like quite the coincidence that the 50% milestone unlocks the day the beta opens to the world. The excitement just continues to mount.
And no it's not a wallpaper or facebook image, it is a brand new Blizzcast.
Nizaris Update:
- The video covers a lot of information we have known before, or at least have surmised. Starting with Senior Designer Jason Bender talking about randomization and aspects that difficulty levels bring to the game.
- Second up is Senior Sound Designer Kris Giampa covering some of the basics on how they bring the world to life with their sound libraries. It's an interesting piece, especially if you haven't listened to the panel from Blizzcon '11 that focuses on Blizz music.
- Third is Lead Content Designer Kevin Martens who talks a little about the background of the Festering Woods (big surprise!), which will involve some [wikiNephalem[/wiki] Artifacts and warring spirits. The really cool part of this video is that it contains small clips of the game that have never been seen before.
The closing remarks are the most interesting as it refers to the fabled Cow Level. Based on Kevin's remarks, we may not have seen the last of the Cow King.
So… spoiler warning if you want to keep your knowledge about the rest of the game to a minimum.
Over all, the content is geared towards a new audience, but it's definitely worth a listen. And, of course, unlike all other Blizzcasts, these are live interviews held directly with the lead designers. Enjoy!

There's something off about "Gangster Squad" even before the title hits the screen. Los Angeles crime boss Mickey Cohen (a cartoonish Sean Penn) shows off his skills from his days as a prize fighter under a high contrast, heavily stylized lighting that emphasizes his strained veins. As he pummels a punching bag with ferocious intensity, the voiceover of Sgt. John O'Mara (Josh Brolin), the officer eventually tasked with taking Cohen down, explains the criminal's menacing grip on 1940's-era Los Angeles as if the cop were narrating a trailer for the real deal. From the very start, the movie presents itself as a cheap, over-stylized imitation of better crime sagas from several eras, landing somewhere between "Public Enemy" and "L.A. Confidential" without the same gravitas or consistency.
There's a strange tension here between director and material, given that Ruben Fleisher's two previous efforts, the enjoyable "Zombieland" and "30 Minutes or Less," were outright comedies. There's nothing particularly funny about "Gangster Squad," but a penchant for camp and eagerness to play around with atmosphere constantly strains to break through and falls short. While technically based on a true story, the very premise of LAPD officers covertly assigned to act as criminals themselves in an ongoing attempt to destroy Cohen's illegal dealings, encourages a kind of free-for-all pulpy spirit visible in the archetypes populating this cast. Along with O'Mara, a troubled family man and war vet constantly assuring his worrisome wife (Mireille Enos) that he's almost done with the beat, there's the naturally suave philanderer Sgt. Jerry Wooters, played by Ryan Gosling on autopilot, whose playful attitude makes him a natural wild card to offset O'Mara's calculated approach.
The rest of the team is mostly comprised of background figures bearing guns and trenchcoats. The only other substantial characters are the cops' scowling chief (Nick Nolte, also on autopilot) and a love interest for Wooters, the helpless Grace Faraday (Emma Stone, whose romance with Gosling weirdly echoes their onscreen romance in last year's "Crazy. Stupid. Love."). Fleisher has the referential feel of a Tarantino movie without the same enthusiasm for the material.
By design, "Gangster Squad" trades quality for genre allegiance at the cost of originality; it only stands out for trumpeting attitude through various filters that jazz up the action. This is by design; according to a recent article in The New York Times, "Gangster Squad" was conceived as "an experiment in next-wave noir" in the tradition of the newly resurrected "Sherlock Holmes" franchise. Both properties aim to rejuvenate the seemingly antiquated periods in which they take place with dazzling modern techniques.

Welcome, skip to the content.
Lakes Entrance Visitor Information Centre is the first place to come for information on the Lakes and Wilderness Region. The best known destination, the Gippsland Lakes, is the biggest and most beautiful expanse of inland waterways in the southern hemisphere. Walk across the sand dunes and you're right on the famous Ninety Mile Beach.With eight magnificent National Parks on the coast and in the high country of Gippsland, that is more than any other region of Australia. The roll call includes the Alpine National Park (Victoria's biggest), the Snowy River National Park and the UNESCO- listed Croajingalong National Park that embraces 100 kilometres of coastline.The region has two of Australia's greatest driving routes. The Great Alpine Road, which winds through the Alpine National Park and Victoria's high country. The Sydney to Melbourne Coastal Drive, which in East Gippsland, starts at Croajingalong National Park and ends at the Gippsland Lakes.With the country's biggest fishing port at Lakes Entrance, we're the fishing capital of Australia. (Just ask any serious recreational angler who has fished here).The region is also very well known for doing very little at all. You could book a lakeside apartment or canal villa with a boat moored at your private jetty, and never leave the waterways for your entire holiday. Or stay in a country inn way up in the clear mountain air of Victoria's Alpine country and simply wander through the wildflowers.
The Lakes Entrance Visitor Information Centre is easily accessible from Melbourne and Sydney. If you are coming from Melbourne turn left at the first roundabout coming into town. If you are coming from Sydney turn right at the first roundabout- this is at the other end of town.

The grand Poobah writes: I have been assured by many posters on my video games blog entry that it took decades for the cinema to gain recognition as an art form. Untrue. Among the first to admire it was Leo Tolstoy, and I reprinted his late 19th-century reaction in my Book of Film. In 1908, Tolstoy and his family appeared in an early motion picture, and if you saw The Last Station (2009) you may want to compare your memories with the real thing. Here is some information about those in the film.
The Last Station (2009) Director Michael Hoffman. Cast: James McAvoy, Helen Mirren, Christopher Plummer, Paul Giamatti and Kerry Condon."The Last Station" focuses on the last year of Count Tolstoy (Christopher Plummer), a full-bearded Shakespearian figure presiding over a household of intrigues. The chief schemer is Chertkov (Giamatti), his intense follower, who idealistically believes Tolstoy should leave his literary fortune to the Russian people. It's just the sort of idea that Tolstoy might seize upon in his utopian zeal. Sofya (Helen Mirren), on behalf of herself and her children, is livid." - Ebert. You can read Roger's full review HERE.

OU spring football: Iowa transfer Brandon Wegher leaves Sooners
Running back Brandon Wegher, who transferred from Iowa to OU in the offseason, is no longer with the team, coach Bob Stoops said following Wednesday's practice.
"Yeah, he's not with us anymore," Stoops said. "That didn't last real long.
Wegher, who rushed for an Iowa freshman record eight touchdowns in 2009, left the Hawkeyes for "personal reasons" and later announced he would transfer.
He enrolled at OU as a walk-on but was going to have to sit out the upcoming season due to transfer rules.
"We've got a few backs as it is," Stoops said, "so we'll be OK."
The Sooners plan to be cautious this spring with starting middle linebacker Austin Box, whose career was nearly ended last year by a preseason back injury, which forced him to miss the first five games. Box has been sitting out OU's spring practices thus far.
"Austin has played a lot of football," Stoops said ."I don't need to see him a whole lot in the spring. We're not going to be overzealous and risk losing him in the spring."
Roy Finch, Brennan Clay and now freshman Brandon Williams have Sooner fans elated about their future backfield.
But don't discount sophomore running back Jonathon Miller, who is finally healthy after undergoing season-ending knee injury to repair cartilage damage in his knee two seasons ago.
"I feel real good," Miller said. "Best I've felt since the injury."
Miller averaged 7.2 yards on 18 carries as a true freshman before going down with the injury midway through the season.
Miller tried to come back last season, but the knee was still bothering him.
"It was hurting me through two-a-days," he said. So I decided to take the redshirt year and get it right."
At 5-foot-11, 200 pounds, Miller is OU's biggest back and could be a valuable foil to scatbacks Finch and Clay.
"That's the good thing about our backfield," Miller said. "We got guys who are quick twitch and guys that can run you over."

When a James Bond villain comes up with a plan to destroy the world, he doesn't use a simple plan. No, he uses a machination — a complex plot that relies on numerous elements coming together to work.
Not surprisingly, machination derives from the Medieval French machina, meaning "machine." And, like many a machine, a machination is subject to going wrong, often comically (see James Bond movies). Politicians love a good machination, and their machinations are frequently exposed in the press as scandals.
Definitions of machination
n a crafty and involved plot to achieve your (usually sinister) ends
- Synonyms:
- intrigue
- Types:
a derogatory reference to priests who use their influence to control secular or political affairs
- Type of:
game, plot, secret plan
a secret scheme to do something (especially something underhand or illegal)

Action, Adventure, Fantasy | 142 min.
Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone, Jamie Foxx
Directed by Marc Webb
We've always known that Spider-Man's most important conflict has been within himself: the struggle between the ordinary obligations of Peter Parker and the extraordinary responsibilities of Spider-Man. But in The Amazing Spider-Man 2, Peter Parker finds that his greatest battle is about to begin. It's great to be Spider-Man (Andrew Garfield). For Peter Parker, there's no feeling quite like swinging between skyscrapers, embracing being the hero, and spending time with Gwen (Emma Stone). But being Spider-Man comes at a price: only Spider-Man can protect his fellow New Yorkers from the formidable villains that threaten the city. With the emergence of Electro (Jamie Foxx), Peter must confront a foe far more powerful than he. And as his old friend, Harry Osborn (Dane DeHaan), returns, Peter comes to realize that all of his enemies have one thing in common: Oscorp. Directed by Marc Webb. Produced by Avi Arad and Matt Tolmach. Screenplay by Alex Kurtzman & Roberto Orci & Jeff Pinkner (Written by Sony Pictures Entertainment).

The Amazing Benefits of Osmanthus Flowers
Unfortunately, there's not a lot of information about osmanthus flowers in English on the internet, in fact, it's very rare to find it in shops, unless you buy the osmanthus and green tea in some Asian grocery stores. However, I would like to talk about the wonderful benefits of these beautiful, golden flowers.
The proper name for the type of osmanthus I'm talking about is the Osmanthus fragrans, which is called guihua 桂花 in Chinese and they are native to Asia.
Benefits of Osmanthus Flowers:
- Dispels cold and dampness in the body.
- Wonderful for treating colds, they can get decrease the mucus caused by inflamed lungs and reduce coughing.
- Improves overall lung health.
- Treats menstrual pain, as well as regular stomach pain.
- Treats tooth aches
- Warms stomach, improves digestion, treats intestinal diseases and reduces the amount of stomach gas.
- Used to tranquilise an active liver.
- Removes many toxins from the body.
- Brilliant for enhancing eyesight, reducing bad breath and moisturising the skin.
- Lastly, it's a great thirst quencher.
How you can use Osmanthus:
Because I have only recently became interested in osmanthus flowers, I've yet to make anything with them. However, I've read up many ways to use osmanthus flowers in food, drinks or even skincare.
Tea – Osmanthus tea is pretty famous in China, you just need to put a handful in and add some boiling water.
Drinks – Add osmanthus flowers in ice cubes and put them in water.
Desserts – Are you making mooncakes, regular cakes, jelly or any other desserts? Osmanthus flowers can be added in desserts as they have a sweet and rich buttery taste and can even be used as a natural sweetener. Herbal Turtle Jelly and Sweet Osmanthus Cake (Gui Hua Gao) are both famous desserts in China.
Soups – Osmanthus flowers can be added in soups as well, to enhance flavour.
Cosmetics – Making facial masks or lip balms? Try adding some osmanthus. It's a brilliant skin moisturiser.
Where to buy Osmanthus Flowers:
Finally, since they're not even really available in ships, where can you buy them?
Ebay: http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_odkw=dried+osmanthus+flower&_osacat=0&_from=R40&_trksid=p2045573.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0&_nkw=dried+osmanthus&_sacat=0

It is helpful information.
Great information! Tks.
For some reason, the osmanthus tea gave me headaches. I wish it did not cause I liked the fragrance of the tea.
Osmanthus FTW LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111111111111
Previously I do not have much information on the osmanthus flowers but after reading your notes I was alarmed that it had so many benefits and uses.
Thank you for your informative notes.
Is there any side effects for Osmanthus? I enjoy the taste and smell of the flower very much. I eat as much as 50g per week.
I love Osmanthus the 1st sip from my Osmanthus Tea bought from Taiwan by a friend. It is so beautiful in taste and frangrance. First time I Google for its benefits. Wow. Thank you for sharing.
This Osmanthus flower, tea, is so delicious and a mild fragrance different from any other
flower. If you have a tree in your garden, you would have the fragrance all around your
house, your garden and even it can let your neighbor share with you. To my knowledge,
it can be used in many ways: in your food, drinks, herbal medicine, …..and what not.
Walking in the street in either Lower East Side Chinatown or the Chinatown uptown, I
can be intoxicated by its delicious fragrance. I kept asking the flower shop owners where'vto get the tree, and how to grow it, I/ve never got any definite answer, so i am
afraid to grow it myself. But I wish I could. Try it in any way, You'll like it. LC, NYC
I recently purchase the osmanthus flowers, because I thought I'd be able to use like chamomile (in my natural skincare formulas). But, today I decided to use my new tea-infuser teapot and I put in rooibos loose tea, lavender flowers and osmanthus flowers… OMG!! WONDERFUL flavors!!! I'm hoping the health benefits will help my personal healing of the severe after-effects of colorectal cancer, chemo, radiation and multiple surgeries! I hope to see a healthy boost with probiotics as well. Thank you for your information! Blessings and love to all.. Suzi <3 <3 <3
I am not a tea person, but since I have tasted Osmanthus – It has become an addiction! I cant eat my lunch without it!! I enjoy the way it tranquilise the body!! However so far I have only tried this flavor from Coka Coka brand 'Heaven and Earth', would love to explore..!
Sooo excited to find this article!!!As a Chinese girl, I am always looking for the healthy benefits of osmanthus.Because this kind of flower is amazing !!!I still remember my grandma mixed green tea and osmanthus flowers together, creating a new flavor.
Then I lived in New York.I missed that special tasting so much.So I choose to start my own flowering tea business here.
My website is http://www.naveyatea.com
Feel free to check out.
Thanks Susanna for this informative posting!!A friend brings me some when she comes back from China,but I did not the benefits:)

This is by far the most popular tour for our visitors looking to experience the history contained at our world war 2 memorials at Pearl Harbor. Starting with the Arizona memorial you will be able to take a short boat ride out to the memorial which now stands over the site of the sunken vessel.
You will continue your tour with a guided tour around the battleship USS Missouri where the unconditional surrender of the Japanese marked the end of world war 2. It was involved in the operations at the invasion of Iwo Jima and Okinawa and participated in the Korean and first Gulf war.
Your tour will conclude with a trip through downtown Honolulu showing you the Iolani Palace and King Kamehameha Statue.
*Denotes stop made.
Waikiki hotel pickup begins: at 6:00am
Return: approximately 3:30pm (5:30pm during summer)
A no host lunch is available. This means a stop will be made where you can purchase your lunch.
Security at Pearl Harbor is tight. The US Department of the Interior has instituted a, "no bags" policy at the Arizona Memorial and Visitor Center. Passengers may not carry any item that offers concealment. This includes purses, handbags, backpacks, diaper bags, etc. A small camera is permitted. Please bring vital items in a manner that they can be placed in your pockets. Do not leave valuables on the bus.

Got my LS Capt Rex bust yesterday. I always love opening a SS box. You have done it again with another great piece. The detail on this bust is amazing and it looks great next to my Commander Cody LS bust. Love the way the antenna can be moved. Keep up the great work. Thanks, M. Avallone "Obi"
