In the biggest men's hockey game of the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics, Team USA earned the extra point over the hometown Team Russia Saturday, February 15. Joe Pavelski of the San Jose Sharks is among the pictured stars of the game for giving his country its only (short-lived) lead in regulation.
The shootout victory puts the Americans in the driver's seat to win Group A, having already beaten the two best teams. Sunday they play Team Slovenia, who just earned its first-ever Olympic win by beating a reeling Team Slovakia Saturday. Games on consecutive days are harder for teams that lack depth, making it even more difficult for an opponent led by only one NHL player (Anze Kopitar of the Los Angeles Kings) to beat one filled with only top-end talent.
Any win over the Slovenians will earn America the all-important bye in the first medal round. Not having to play back-to-back games should help with the tough matchup likely to come in the quarterfinals. Having the higher seed can help after that, and they are still in reach of the top spot if Team Canada and Team Finland are tied at the end of regulation.
The loss is going to seriously hurt Russia's chances of winning gold in its backyard. A regulation win over Slovakia Sunday could mean earning the one bye that does not go to a group winner. That is more important for this contender that relies so heavily on its top two lines than for any other top team.
The win did not come without some controversy. A Russian goal was disallowed when it was discovered the net was a little off its moorings. It would have counted in the NHL but not at the Sochi Olympics, and Alex Ovechkin and his coach accused American goalie Jonathan Quick of doing it intentionally (which would be a penalty).
The first period was hard-fought and both teams played tight games. The first score did not come until 10:45 left in the second period: Alexander Radulov advanced the puck to Andrei Markov, who found Pavel Datsyuk splitting the defenders for the wrist-shot goal.
It took over seven minutes for the USA to counter. Thanks to a dumb penalty by Radulov 30 meters from the puck, Russia was on the penalty kill for the third time. Phil Kessel advanced the puck to Toronto Maple Leafs teammate James van Riemsdyk, who forced the defenders deep enough for Cam Fowler to pinch way down to put home the loose puck.
Another Radulov penalty led to the go-ahead goal 9:27 into the third: Kevin Shattenkirk got the puck to Patrick Kane on the right wing, who threaded a pass through the crease to Pavelski on the other side pinching down from the blue line that he plays for Team USA's power play just like he does for San Jose.
Unfortunately for America, Datsyuk struck again 3:17 later with another assist from Markov. It looked like Fedor Tyutin had given the home team the lead minutes later, but the game went to a shootout. T.J. Oshie scored on his first shot, but Ilya Kovalchuk tied it up on the last chance for the Russians after misses by Evgeni Malkin, van Riemsdyk, Datsyuk and Pavelski.
From there, Oshie took every shot for the Americans (hitting three of the next five) while Kovalchuk and Datsyuk alternated for Russia. It took five sudden-death rounds until there was finally a score that was unanswered in the skills competition.

It's that time again and as anyone who has ever been to Glastonbury knows, festivals are usually more about mud than makeup. That said, festival beauty is not a lost cause and here are ten products that can make your weekend a more beautiful one.
Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream
This product is the ultimate multi-tasker and should be a must-have on your packing list. Good for chapped skin, burns, grazes, and insect bites, Eight Hour Cream, $19.50, is also an incredible lip balm and a super glossy highlighter (perfect for getting glossy look eyes too). The new fragrance-free version lacks that medicinal smell that was the product's only downfall.
Caudalie Beauty Elixir
Caught somewhere between a toner and a refresher, this ingenious spray, $18, not only refreshes and tightens the skin but it also breathes new life into your makeup. Extra benefit: the herbal mixture also smells amazing so it's the perfect mid-day refresher.
Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector
This cult moisturizer, $41, is perfect for getting glowing, light-reflecting skin. Apply it under your foundation or on its own for a subtle, shimmery skin finish with the added benefit of SPF 25.
Blinc Kiss Me Mascara
Running mascara is inevitable with sweat, sun, and rain on the book but tubing mascaras can give you long lashes without the worry. Blinc's tubing mascara, $24, requires water and pressure to remove it so it won't be running down your face anytime soon.
Oribe Dry Texturing Spray
Dry shampoo is ok, but what's great about this dry texture spray, $39, is that it's a styling product, not a shampoo alternative. Even when your hair's lifeless and dead, this spray will pump it up and add volume and texture.
This Works 5 in 1 Cleansing Water
Anyone still using wipes to remove their makeup should stop, immediately. They do a terrible job of cleaning your skin, especially if you're using them as a cleanser. Instead, try This Works' Clean Skin 5 in 1 Water, $39, which effectively removes your makeup and cleanses your skin without a sink.
NARS' The Multiple
Multi-purpose products are great for de-cluttering your makeup kit so try a product such as NARS' The Multiple, £39, which will act as a cheek color, lip color, and highlighter in one.
Dr. Jart Beauty Balm
Even though Beauty Balms, or BB Creams, are really just repackaged tinted moisturizers with an extra boost of skincare ingredients, they are perfect for festivals. This version from Dr. Jart, $39, boasts an impressive SPF45, perfect for the harsh spring sun rays.
Bliss Energizing Eye Mask
Unless you're holed up in a luxe hotel (and that's cheating), there's no way you're getting 8 hours of sleep at a festival. Fake it until you make it back to your bed with Bliss' Triple Oxygen Instant Energizing Eye Mask, $54, which, in fifteen minutes, will brighten and de-puff your tired lids.
Peter Thomas Roth Instant Mineral Powder
Re-applying sunscreen is as important, if not more important, than applying it in the first place but many women don't because it automatically ruins any makeup you have on already. Peter Thomas Roth's Instant Mineral Powder SPF45, $30, is a transparent powder that not only gives you a smooth, matte complexion but also offers broad spectrum protection against UVA and UVB rays.

Indianapolis motor Speedway president Doug Boles has confirmed the death of iconic race car designer A.J. Watson yesterday at the age of 90, calling him "one of the most innovative mechanics and car builders in the track's 105-year history.
Watson was a fixture at Gasoline Alley for more than 50 years, and was the chief mechanic on six cars (three of which he built, himself) that won the Indy 500 between 1956-1964, including those driven by Jim Rathmann Roger Ward (twice), Parnelli Jones, and the roadster driven to Victory Lane by AJ Foyt in 1964.
Foyt, who got to spend time with Watson on his birthday celebration, just four days prior to his death stated that "Watson was the model of professionalism and presentation, and he never strayed from his neatly cropped white crew cut. It was amazing to watch him build a car without ever getting dirty."
"He was an amazing man, the most impressive mechanic, engineer and designer I ever worked with," commented John Barnes, founder of Panther Racing.
In addition, Roger Penske deemed Watson (and his cars) "a leader in the garage area."

Every Christmas season, a German-themed holiday market opens at the Daley Plaza in Chicago. From beer to brats to handcrafted German ornaments ... most everything German is here.
Germans are one of the largest white ethnic communities in Chicago, in fact, at one point of Chicago's history, 1 out of 4 Chicagoans identified themselves as either born in Germany or have one parent born in Germany. Most of the German-Chicagoans are ethnic Germans from Russia (Volga Germans).
The Lincoln Square neighborhood in the city's northwest side is the heart of German culture in Chicago - with shops and architecture that remind visitors of the German heritage of Chicago.
But not during Christmas time - because the German center of Chicago during the Christmas holidays is in Daley Plaza in the Loop!
The Christkindlmarket runs from November 20 - December 24. Come on down!

The long running CBS sitcom "How I Met Your Mother" comes to an end tonight and we finally get to find out the answer to how Ted Mosby (Josh Radnor) met the mother and see how the storyline of one of the best and most tight-knit group of friends on television comes to an end.
While there's good reason to believe the one-hour finale tonight will end up as one of the legen…wait for it…dary episodes of the series' catalogue, it's time to pay tribute to some of the truly fantastic episodes that have come before it. It's tough to come up with a small list of the best episodes of this truly wonderful series, because there have been so many classics, but here are five that particularly stood out.
"Pilot" Season 1, Episode 1
Choosing the pilot episode of "How I Met Your Mother" for this list might seem like a copout with all of the excellent episodes over its nine seasons, but going back recently and watching it I believe it really stands out as one of the best (I will add, though, that I typically feel this way about pilots). The pilot is our introduction to a series … it's the "will we or won't we" fall in love with this series and almost instantaneously do we fall in love with Ted, Barney, Robin, Marshall and Lily. There are so many running bits from this series that debut in the pilot like Barney's "have you met, Ted?" tagline to introduce women to Ted and the "Suit Up!" cry that became one of Barney's many great catchphrases along the way. I believe the very first "legen…wait for it…dary" was uttered in this opener, as well. The first episode also introduced us to one of the great sitcom relationships in Ted and Robin, even if we knew how it would play out by the end of that episode with the shocker of an announcement that was "and that's how I met your Aunt Robin." The pilot was a perfect introduction to a group of friends we would welcome into our lives and cherish for the next decade.
"Arrivederci, Fiero" Season 2, Episode 17
The season two episode "Arrivederci, Fiero" is an excellent "How I Met Your Mother" episode for many, many reasons. The first and foremost reason is that it gives us the backstory on how Ted and Marshall truly became best friends over a college Christmas break road trip. These flashbacks, which really are a truly great and important aspect (along with the show's usage of flashforwards) of 'HIMYM,' are among the best in the series. One of my favorite aspects of this episode is the running gag of Marshall's Fiero having eaten his single of The Proclaimer's '90s one-hit wonder "I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles)" and it being the only song him and Ted can listen to on their trip and the ups and downs that come with that, especially their epic renditions. One of the funniest storylines of the episode is how Barney is the only one of the group who absolutely hates the car, because of a terrifying experience learning to drive in it. Overall, "Arrivederci Fiero" is one of the great bonding episodes between this great group of friends.
"How Your Mother Met Me" Season 9, Episode 16
You know "How I Met Your Mother" is truly a wonderfully written show when they can add a new character in the final season, do an episode completely from that character's point of view, with little interaction among the principle cast and become one of the series' classics. That's exactly what the show did with this season's "How Your Mother Met Me." I, like many fans, thought that we wouldn't get the pleasure of seeing the mother of Ted's children until the very last scene (or at least episode) of the series. The show's creators did the right thing in introducing her to the audience in the season eight finale and then adding her to the cast for the final season in storylines either not involving Ted or through flashforwards with Ted. After the show introduced the perfectly casted Cristin Milioti as the mother, the next logical step was to do an episode on her storyline leading up to the present time. The episode, which started with tragedy, ended in a beautiful moment where "the mother" sings "La Vie en Rose" accompanied by her ukulele playing on her hotel balcony where Ted can hear, but not see, her. One of the most beautiful scenes of a series filled with them.
"Slap Bet" Season 2, Episode 9
"Slap Bet," from the show's second season (which could likely be considered the show's best), is among the show's funniest when it comes to pure laughs. It's also generally the highest ranked episode of this series among fans and critics alike. It includes two long-running bits that fans absolutely adore: the slap bet that it takes its title from (and was just finished up in the series' penultimate episode last week) and it was the debut of Robin's teenage Canadian pop star alter-ego Robin Sparkles (which I do find a bit overrated). I'm sure "slap bet" was a thing long before this series, but 'HIMYM' is the reason why it's now a huge part of the pop culture lexicon. The terror Barney feels when he believes Marshall is about to slap the hell out of him is among the funniest moments in this series' long run, as is Barney's exuberant enjoyment upon finding Robin's past "Let's Go to the Mall" music video.
"The Naked Man" Season 4, Episode 9
When it comes to downright hilarious episodes of "How I Met Your Mother" it can be very hard to choose. There's, of course, "Slap Bet" and its offshoot "Slapsgiving." There's the epic "The Playbook" episode that probably is the first runner-up to my list. Then there's the hilarity of "being too old for this … stuff" in "Murtaugh." However, for my money, the funniest episode of 'HIMYM' is probably season four's "The Naked Man." It's such a unique and out there concept that you know the writer of this episode, Joe Kelly, has to know somebody who has done this wildly inappropriate move in the past. The wild move, known simply as "The Naked Man," is exactly what it implies … stripping down naked and hoping your date is so taken aback or amused by your confidence that she will throw you a bone. The ingenious move is Mitch's (guest star Adam Paul), who pulls the move during a floundering date with Robin, in which Ted happens to walk in on him in the full buff. Ted doesn't believe that the move could possibly work, but Mitch assures him "The Naked Man" works two out of three times and when Robin falls for it Barney, Ted and Lily all end up giving it a shot. Sure, enough it works two out of three times. There are obviously more important moments in "How I Met Your Mother" history, but "The Naked Man" had me in stitches for 30 straight minutes (even laughing through commercial breaks). The funniest part of the episode is when Ted and Barney discuss which naked poses they should strike upon their naked reveal.
The series finale of "How I Met Your Mother" can be seen locally on KTHV Conway Corp. channel 11 tonight at 7.

Hey Guys! I know TNT has been a bit slow these days. I had a lot of fun asking guest designers to participate but I decided to invite someone to be our font-finder on a regular basis again! Her name is Loren Crosier – she is not only my wonderful studio mate but a talented designer & artist. I was very happy to see that she went with an abstract collage for her kick-off post. She's got an eye for collages – check them out on her blog.
"I'm very excited to start sharing regular TNT posts with all of you Emmadime readers! Each week I hope to share a great free font that goes with a theme I am passionate about or anything relevant. I was inspired by Emma's words last week on abstract art and the artist Mia Christopher. This week I played around with objects in a digital collage and paired it with a simple contemporary font, District Thin. –Loren Crosier

When Bonnie Birnbaum and Keri Olson set out independently to find inspiration for the dining room, both designers came back with the same image of classic Chinoiserie-painted walls. They commissioned Amy Ouradnik and Shona Dockter to paint an organic pattern of silver and white branches on the walls, providing an elegant balance to the room's abundant geometric-patterned woodwork.
As the dining room is used by guests of the B&B as well as the Blessing family, Birnbaum and Olson designed the room to be durable enough for commercial use, but elegant enough for formal entertaining. The interior designers upholstered the dining room chairs in commercial-grade washable faux leather with custom monograms by Serifina, and fitted the dining room's alcove with an upholstered banquette to create an intimate, comfortable space for smaller dinner parties.

Mommar here.
A school principle of mine used to tell his students 'I'm perfect, I don't make mistrakes'. When your 12 years old this is way too thought provoking. But as I've become older I can see the wisdom in what he was trying to impart.
This weekend I took a look at a couple of weak markets and decided to flip them. I grabbed 32 Magnificent Hides at an average of 125 per hide. With the daily burn for leatherworkers and the glut of exotic leather sitting on the AH, to me these were still undervalues. I double checked some of the bigger ticket items that were created by them (Angerhide Leg Armor, Shadowleather Leg Armor) which were hovering at about 550 per. This could turn a nice quick profit and set me up for future profits. Along with listing some of the leg armors I also went ahead and tripled the cost of the Magnificent Hide themselves and dropped them on the AH.
Dropping in a couple of hours later I had sold three of the leg armors, but all of my relisted magnificent hides had been undercut almost immediate. The undercuts had dropped them to even lower costs to what I had purchased the original batch.
Wait Mommar, you're saying all of this was a mistake? In one way of looking at it it was a mistake in that I did not take into my mental calculations the cost of the exotic leather itself. Also not taken into respect was just how many Magnificent Hides that leatherworkers were still sitting on. So instead of calling it a mistake let us call it a half win. In the long term I will be able to get about 2x the amount of gold that I invested.
The other market I took a look at and decided to reset was the bag market. Netherweave bags had been a hotbed of sales for me. Usually, clicking to 500g a day in sales just from the stock I still had sitting in my bank. Recently the market had dropped to 12g a piece (still profitable, but not so much that I was willing to again list some bags). I looked at some other bags (the 24 slot bags crafted from higher level tailoring materials). The Illusionary Bag and Royal Satchel will be strong come the next expansion. Players get the automatic 4 x 24 bags with their new level 90, but they have 8 slots in their bank to fill with new shiny bags. Most will buy 16 slot bags but some will spring for a couple of the 24 slot bags for their new toys.
Both the Illusionary Bag and Royal Satchel have tailored daily timers using Dreamcloth and Imperial Silk respectively. Dreamcloth is on a weekly timer while Imperial Silk still sits at a daily timer. Collecting the materials and taking a few minutes to craft and sell these have added some nice coin into my pocket.
What may seem like a mistake at first can be turned into a success just from taking a deep breath and seeing potential instead of just instant profit. Time is gold and gold is time. Both will happen if your patient and look at not just short term sales but long term sales.

As if that wasn't enough, she also appeared in the film "Men in Black 3" in 2012, and judged both the American and UK versions of "The X Factor." It's her music, however, that has made Scherzinger a household name, with more than 16 million records sold. And now, she can add celebrity spokesperson for Proactiv+ to the long list of accomplishments for this busy and talented woman.
Scherzinger has been very outspoken about her own troubles with acne and skin problems, making her a natural choice for the brand. "It feels amazing to have a clearer, more glowing complexion. It gives me the confidence to wear less make-up and not have to think about what's going on with my skin," Scherzinger offers in a recent press release. "With the HD cameras doing close-ups for my music videos and the photo shoots for my new album cover, it's important that I feel good about the way I look. And Proactiv+ makes me look good."
Scherzinger certainly isn't the first celebrity to partner with the Proactiv+ team. Other celebrity spokespersons have included names like Adam Levine, Julianne Hough, Cassadee Pope, Jana Kramer and Naya Rivera. This may, however, mark one of the biggest names to join the Proactiv+ ranks, as Scherzinger is a well-known and very popular music figure. It all comes just in time for her latest single, titled "On the Rocks," which is set to debut on October 12.
There are a lot of skin care lines with a lot of celebrity endorsements, however Proactiv+ is more than just skin care. It's one of the most effective acne treatments available, and has the ability to truly change a person's life. The addition of a name like Scherzinger will help bring the Proactiv+ product into more homes around the world, making this a very smart and exciting new paring. You can follow Scherzinger's photo shoots and videos for Proactiv+ online via Facebook, Twitter and YouTube. Or follow up on the singer's latest release on her website.

Curmudgeon's Corner
cur-mud-geon: anyone who hates hypocrisy and pretense and has the temerity to say so; anyone with the habit of pointing out unpleasant facts in an engaging and humorous manner
Is It Time To Revisit?
I have not been a big fan of the Milwaukee Area Technical College given the fact that we, in Germantown, have no real voice in any of the decisions taken by the leadership of MATC nor do we have any control over the cost of running that institution. We are not consulted about benefits or compensation or expenditures of any nature. We get our tax bills and we pay whatever the amount is that has been determined by the MATC to be needed by the MATC.
MATC is not alone; the statewide technical college system is operated similarly. The various technical colleges make their decisions and the taxes required are added to the various community tax bills.
Many communities in Wisconsin do not find themselves in the position of Germantown, however. We are at the extreme northern edge of the MATC district and yet we are also adjacent to the Moraine Park Technical College (MPTC) which has a campus in West Bend, our county seat.
We tilted at this windmill a while back without success of any significant measure. The library received some new computers that MATC claimed had always been destined for that facility. There was no connection attributed although the timing was a bit convenient. The officials of MATC held some public meetings to help us understand how important that institution was to our welfare, and to reinforce the fact, from their perspective, that we received solid value for our tax dollar contributions.
The formal request for a change in our affiliation was denied. The political will was not present, given the party power split in Madison, to enter into the fray. That may've changed now. MATC saw some change laid on it so far as the manner in which its Board is determined, for example.
The difference, from a monetary point-of-view, would be some $1,400,000 per year for Germantown taxpayers. That is the difference between what we are now paying for the MATC as contrasted with what we would pay for the MPTC if we were to become part of that institution's prescribed area of service. There is no limit as to who can go where in the technical college system. Just because we are sending tax dollars to MATC, that doesn't mean our residents cannot attend a MPTC course.
Maybe the political will exists to take the changes in the technical college system further. Maybe Germantown could save $1,400,000 annually and simply be part of the MPTC system which seems to either have lower costs or wiser budgeting or a combination of the two. Maybe this is something that will resonate with our Assembly Representative and with our Senator and with their respective bodies. And maybe the landscape in Madison would support such change.
Is it time to revisit?

View FLEA MARKET SHOOTING in a larger map
Two patrons shot in St. Catharines flea market robbery
John Burman Mon, 15 Aug 2011
View FLEA MARKET SHOOTING in a larger map
ST. CATHARINES A man who tried to stop a robbery at a popular St. Catharines flea market is in hospital after being shot in the stomach Sunday afternoon.
The wounded man, said to be from St. Catharines, is in serious but stable condition after suffering life threatening in juries.
Bystanders grabbed one masked gunman and held him for police as another fled after the 3:30 p.m. shooting at the St. Catharines flea Market on Turner Crescent.
A second market patron, a man from Niagara Falls, suffered minor wounds to one leg from bullet fragments and was treated and released from hospital.
Niagara police said when officers arrived after a number of frantic 911 calls from inside the market patrons were struggling to hold one suspect.
Nima Malek, 20, of Richmond Hill, is charged with aggravated assault, discharging a firearm with intent, robbery with a firearm, possession of a dangerous weapon, assault causing bodily harm, tampering with a serial number, unauthorized possession of a firearm and three counts of breach of a recognizance and being disguised with intent.
He is scheduled to appear in court in St. Catharines Monday for a bail hearing.
Police said Monday the seriously wounded man is recovering.
Investigators say before 3:30 p.m. two or more men walked into the main concourse of the indoor flea market and began smashing merchandise display cases in an attempt to steal from a vendor.
At this time one, pointed a handgun at some of the 200 people inside the market including numerous children and seniors.
Police said a man challenged the man with the gun and tried to grab him.
The two struggled and the citizen was shot in the stomach at close range. Nevertheless he continued to hang onto the gunman as others came to his aid.
Witnesses said who believed at least six shots were fired during the melee said market patrons scrambled for the exits when the shooting started.
Police seized a handgun when they arrived.
One of the suspected gunmen fled and police are still hunting him.
He is said to be in mid 20s, has a medium build, tanned complexion and was wearing a grey hoodie, a bandana to cover his face and sunglasses.
Investigators have requested anyone who may have information in relation to the incident contact detectives in St. Catharines at 905 688 4111 x 4276.
third world immigration creates plenty of well paid jobs for Canadians, especially as jail wardens, social workers, policemen, slum landlords .
we dont have jail wardens here u dumbass that's the states

Deep Space Tragedy (DST) is an Indy comic produced by Cosmic Times that tells the story of the greatest robot-rock band this side of Cybertron which is coming to the planet Cog; however there is apparently more going on here there than simply another "heavy metal," robotic concert. As the comic opens the members of DST are talking among themselves about how they've come to rock and that's just what they plan on doing. Meanwhile a very mysterious package has been delivered to another robot who is a fan and potential concert-goer. Now the (female?) robot wants to go and contacts her friend, a 'bot who is a tad more wary about the mystery package, who sent it and why. Still he (?) agrees to accompany his friend to the show and they do go. Once there they are treated to a mega-coolmas show and upon exiting the venue get caught up in the start of what appears will be an amazing adventure.
Deep Space Tragedy is a first-time collaboration between Cosmic Times and comic book rock n' roller Mike Wagganer (who is also the writer/artist on the series). The comic is a delightfully-told tale that mixes sci-fi, indie music and, well, robots who are rocking the indie music scene. The dialogue on the strip reflects Wagganer's very cool indie creds as well as his ability to craft and incorporate a pseudo-tech, hipster rock 'n' roll speech pattern that totally makes the book wickedly-cool, smoothly readable, and can't-hardly-wait-for-the-next-issue feel that you need in an indie comic, plus it absolutely introduces the characters, establishing their personalities allowing the readers to grasp the concept and who is populating this uniquely tech world.
As stated, Cosmic Times is an indie publisher that is located in Lake Worth Florida with half-a-dozen titles in the works and already published, and from what we can see they are crafting a very well-built line of engaging titles that cross a number of genres and are well-written and illustrated. The company is building a respectable buzz as it travels across the convention circuit and continues to issue very readable comics, producing the kinds of comics that those of us who enjoy Indie-fare actively seek out, and wish that more publishers would produce.

Most people who live in Denver, Colorado will agree that it's a great place to live. The sun shines over 300 days a year, the mountains are a hop, skip, and a jump away, and there's now a weed store on every corner. In my travels I often find myself assuming that when I say, "I'm from Denver", people realize that I'm talking about Colorado. However, I was recently humbled to learn that there's also a cozy little mountain town in Canada, conveniently named New Denver (and for the record, there's also 22 other 'Denvers' in the United States).
New Denver is tucked into the Southeast corner of British Columbia, closer than not to the Canadian-Washington State border. The mining town was founded in 1892 and originally dubbed Eldorado City (sound familiar as well, Denverites?), but later renamed New Denver in honor of Denver, CO, although the exact reason for the change of heart was not recorded. Like it's big brother to the south, New Denver is also situated in the Rocky Mountains, next to Slocan Lake (that's right, Slocan, not Sloan's Lake), and 5 miles North of a town called Silverton (are you seeing the pattern here?).
Unlike Denver, CO, New Denver played an interesting role in World War II. It acted as a Japanese Canadian internment camp. While the able bodied Asian men were sent off to work camps in other parts of Canada, approximately 1,500 of their children, wives, and elders remained in New Denver in an area called the "Orchard". Apparently, many of these homes still stand and are open to tourists.
Following that unpleasantness, New Denver gained notoriety during the 1950's as a Freedomite colony. The Freedomites, also known as the Sons of Freedom, were a radical Russian Christian group that took a foothold in Canada in the early 1900s (and still maintain a small presence there today). One fun fact that you might not find in the travel guides is that they were known to have unusual, anarchist in nature protests that included burning their possessions and nude marches.
These days, New Denver is a much quieter place, inhabited by a little over 500 people. In this regard, it is very different from it's Colorado namesake. However, thanks to its proximity to the Rockies, it does thrive on tourism from winter sports and fans of the outdoors just like the original Denver.
While 'parallel universe' might be an overzealous description for this quaint Canadian village, the similarities are worth noting, although I'm sure the poutine is much better New Denver.

I rate the 12 higher than Ardbeg 10 and Laphroaig 10 and like it's unique slant on the Islay style.

Ron Paul, the former congressman from Texas and several times presidential candidate, was a hero to many for his libertarian views. But more often than not he said many alarming things, especially about foreign policy. For example, he blamed 9/11 on American foreign policy and not, as most people do, hate filled Islamist fanatics.
Paul may be retired from politics, but according to Monday story in the National Journal, he has not retired from saying alarming things. In the wake of the shoot down of the Malaysian airliner over the Ukraine by Russian backed rebels, Paul has sprung to the defense of Russian President Vladimir Putin. He mounted this defense on his website, the Ron Paul Institute for Peace and Prosperity.
"Just days after the tragic crash of a Malaysian Airlines flight over eastern Ukraine, Western politicians and media joined together to gain the maximum propaganda value from the disaster. It had to be Russia; it had to be Putin, they said. President Obama held a press conference to claim – even before an investigation – that it was pro-Russian rebels in the region who were responsible. His ambassador to the UN, Samantha Power, did the same at the UN Security Council – just one day after the crash!"
Most intelligence sources have identified the Russian made BUK SA-11 launcher. There is also phone audio of a Ukrainian separatist commander boasting of having downed the plane. The evidence seems to be irrefutable that the Russian supported Ukrainian separatists shot down the airliner, likely under the impression that they were firing on a Ukrainian transport plane.
This did not stop Paul from attacking the Ukraine for allegedly instigating the crisis that has involved Russian seizing the Crimea and currently attempting the same in the Eastern Crimea. He noted, correctly, that Putin and Russia does not benefit from the shoot down of the Malaysian airline. He suggested that the Ukraine does. What he might be implying he left as an exercise for the reader.

Traditional weddings has come a long way leaving behind the basic neutral colors of white, ivory, and black by adding the boldness of colors like fuchsias, teals, oranges and almost every color from the color wheel is being used in weddings.
There are three different types of color schemes that you can use when you are searching for your bridal colors, Monochromatic, analogues or complementary. A monochromatic color scheme is simply using the various shades of one color. For example you could choose blue, teal and aqua, mint green, olive and sage or red, pink and ruby. The key is to use three or more shades of one color. A monochromatic scheme will add a touch of sparkle and personality to your atmosphere. It is important that you remember to have a dominant color and a highlight color.
The complementary color scheme uses tones that are across from each other on the color wheel, which is more daring for some but it is gorgeous when paired right. Try pairs such as purple, orange and green (think of the bird of paradise flower) no matter what three colors pair you choose you can have a beautiful arrangement of colors. Choose a dominant color between the three and use the others as an accent to either add highlights to the darker color or add ease to the brighter color. If you are unsure of how these colors will look Google flower images and see the variety of colors mixed. Looking up different logos from some of your favorite brands, your favorite china, and even a bed spread can be a look into how three complementary colors work.
The last scheme you can use to choose more than one accent color for your wedding is analogues. Analogues uses colors that are next to each other on the color wheel but are different tones. For example yellow and orange, or blue and purple they are in the same color family yet they are different tones.
You can find many different color schemes in your everyday shopping or even when you go out to register. Simply look at the color pattern of the store, the items sold in the store i.e. dinnerware patterns, bedding patterns even pillows and rugs. No color is off limits when it comes to your big day! Just make sure that it is easy on the eyes! Making an inspiration board can help you to identify your dominant and highlight color. Once you have chosen your wedding colors also think about the lighting that you will have in your venue, you can have an awesome color palette ruined if they lighting is off.

A Royal Birthday Splurge
February 4, 2014 | By Gina Kramer | No Comments
It's okay to splurge once in a blue moon, as long as you plan wisely. Member MrsB05 and her husband had been making arrangements up to a year and a half in advance to celebrate her milestone birthday on Serenade of the Seas.
A luxurious two-night retreat in New Orleans' French Quarter prior to disembarkation made for a lovely pre-cruise present, as well as an ice breaker for new friends from their Cruise Critic roll call.
Once onboard, the celebrations commenced. The couple booked a grand suite, tucked away on the aft of the ship. Although the amenities were enjoyable, its unique location had a downside: Lots of noise from the buffet above, both before sunrise and during the morning rush. But the experience gave her this tip for other members: If you're a morning person, this suite wouldn't bother you.
The two also had reservations at the Chef's Table — a once (or twice) in a lifetime experience worth the fee. Despite a few quirks here and there, life onboard was enjoyable "because that is how we roll," she said.
Member MrsB05 and her husband left with wonderful memories, valuable tips for the future and one step closer toward Diamond status with the line's loyalty program.
Read MrsB05's full review for more details about the ship, their offshore adventures and a long-awaited Meet and Greet. For their efforts, MrsB05 and four other Reviewers of the Week — Mac2599, fltam, dmwnc1959, and Gppacek — receive Cruise Critic logo items.

'Killer is Dead' Seamlessly Blends Giant Swords, Cybernetic Arms, Unicorns, And Soft-Boiled Eggs
by Jason Cipriano August 27, 2013 at 11:30AM | Views: 5,005
Goichi Suda, better known as Suda 51, has been the driving force behind some of the most twisted video games of the past two decades. With titles like the Killer7, Shadows of the Damned, and Lollipop Chainsaw credited to his name, Suda is one of the most recognizable creative figures in the industry. His latest game, Killer is Dead, is no different, bringing his outlandish story to life through stylized graphics, and outrageous characters with big personalities, culminating in yet another amazing, over-the-top adventure from the mind of this creative genius.
Developer: Grasshopper Manufacture
Publisher: XSeed Games
Suda's development studio, Grasshopper Manufacture, has a reputation for creating some of the most unique electronic entertainment experiences every year, telling twisted tales in beautifully crafted worlds. Their games might not always find themselves crossing over into the mainstream, but each title to bear their name is truly an experience unto itself. Fans of Suda's work have XSeed Games to thank for bringing Killer is Dead to audiences in the United States, as this could have easily been another title to slip through the cracks, and not seen English localization.
Killer is Dead tells the story of Mondo Zappa, a recent recruit into the government funded Executioner Office run by cyborg, Bryan Roses. The Execution Firm is one of the lesser discussed agencies that help people solve their problems with criminals and assassins by killing them. Mondo seems to be suffering from a bout of amnesia, as he can't really recall how he got his cybernetic arm, but he does know that he is quite adept with his sword, and is an expert at executions. As he picks up jobs, his backstory starts to unravel, and in typical Suda 51 style, it's quite complicated to explain, particularly without spoiling it. Just know that there's a whole lot of stylish hack-n-slashing, as you work your way through the game's ridiculous (in a good way) episodes completing your contracts and making bank. When you want to take a break from the missions you can spend it with the ladies, trying your best to impress and seduce them with gifts, and hopefully leading to a big pay off at the end of the night (new weapons!!).
Also, there's a unicorn. Just saying... there's a unicorn.
You can find Mondo hacking and slashing his way though Killer is Dead on the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 this week, both at retail and digitally. If you jump on the retail release early, you can pick up the Limited Edition that comes packed with bonus DLC, as well as a soundtrack and an artbook, all of which are well worth it.
While a lot of different words have been used to describe Suda 51's games, "boring" is rarely one of them, and Killer is Dead follows in that tradition. Mondo's tale may venture into the outlandish, but the gameplay is solid and enjoyable, and, as strange as it is, the title is quite compelling, leaving you wanting more. Suda may be a bit of an acquired taste, as his work tends to push all different kinds of boundaries, and Killer is Dead is yet another notch in his belt that proves why he and Grasshopper Manufacture have such a respected reputation. You never know what to expect in Killer is Dead and that's part of what makes it an amazing experience.

AbstractThe Permian Coconino Sandstone at Grand Canyon National Park has yielded an important vertebrate ichnofauna. Currently all specimens from the Coconino Sandstone are assigned to species of Chelichnus. A morphologically distinct trackway has been discovered along the Hermit Trail and in Marble Canyon that differs from Chelichnus in: (1) possession of tail drag; (2) disparity in size between manus and pes impressions; (3) pace angulation greater than 90o; and (4) L-shaped manus impression. This represents a previously unrecognized morphology for Permian eolianites.

Paleozoic tetrapod ichnofaunas from Grand Canyon National Park are among the most significant in North America (Hunt and Santucci, 1998a). The majority of specimens were collected by Charles Gilmore of the United States National Museum (Smithsonian) and described by him in a series of classic works (Gilmore, 1926b, 1927b, 1928a). Santucci and Wall (1995) conducted a preliminary reconnaissance of the Coconino Sandstone in the area of the Hermit Trail in Grand Canyon National Park (Fig. 1). The purpose of this paper is to describe an unusual track morphology from that location that is distinct from those previously reported within the Coconino Sandstone.
Schuchert (1918) is credited as the first collector of tetrapod tracks in Paleozoic strata on the South Rim of the Grand Canyon. Lull (1918) utilized the portion of the collection from the Permian Coconino Sandstone to publish the first scientific description of Paleozoic tetrapod tracks from Arizona. In 1924, the National Park Service invited Charles Gilmore to visit Schuchert's locality and to prepare an in situ exhibit on a now abandoned portion of the Hermit Trail (Spamer, 1984). Gilmore (1926b) described this new collection of Coconino ichnofossils and was later funded, by the Marsh Fund Committee of the National Academy of Sciences (1926) and the Grand Canyon Exhibit Committee of the National Academy of Sciences (1927), to make additional collections and exhibits (Spamer, 1984). In addition to the new trace fossil collections from the Coconino, Gilmore collected vertebrate tracks from the Hermit Shale (Permian) and Wescogame Formation of the Supai Group (Pennsylvanian). Gilmore described this new material in additional monographs (Gilmore, 1927b, 1928a) and a short paper on the first tracks from the North Rim (Gilmore and Sturdevant, 1928). Gilmore also wrote three more popular papers describing his collecting efforts in the Grand Canyon (Gilmore, 1926a, 1927a, 1928b).
For the next 70 years there was little reevaluation of Gilmore's work except by Don Baird of Princeton (Baird, 1952, Baird in Spamer, 1984). A renaissance in Paleozoic track studies took place during the mid-1990's. The Rosetta Stone for a new re-evalualtion of Permian tracks was provided by studies of the extensive ichnofaunas from the redbeds of southern New Mexico (Haubold et al., 1995a, b; Hunt et al., 1995). The New Mexico tracksites provided large sample sizes of all the most significant Permian ichnotaxa and included a broad range of preservational variants. These samples provided a new perspective on the plethora of ichnotaxonomic names of tetrapod tracks from Permian redbeds, most of which had been described on the basis of small sample sizes. During the same timeframe there was a major reevaluation of the equally confused ichnotaxonomy of tetrapod tracks from Permian eolianites (Morales and Haubold, 1995; Haubold et al., 1995a, b; McKeever and Haubold, 1996; Haubold, 1996; Hunt and Santucci, 1998a,b). Hunt and Santucci (1998a) presented a reassessment of the ichnotaxonomy of the Coconino tracks from Grand Canyon National Park on the basis of this new synthesis (Table 1).
The first fossil footprints to be described in the scientific literature came from Permian eolianites of Scotland (Grierson, 1828). Subsequently, paleontologists described important ichnofaunas from eolian strata of Germany (Cornberger Sandstein), Colorado (Lyons Sandstone), and Arizona (Coconino Sandstone, DeChelly Sandstone), as well as additional specimens from Scotland (Hopeman, Corncockle and Locharbriggs Sandstone formations). An extensive literature describes many ichnotaxa from these formations. However, recent work spearheaded by Hartmut Haubold has demonstrated that virtually all tetrapod tracks from Permian eolianites represent three ichnospecies of one ichnogenus, with only the rarest exceptions (Haubold et al., 1995b; McKeever and Haubold, 1996; Haubold, 1996). All of the Coconino vertebrate tracks apparently fall within three species of Chelichnus (McKeever and Haubold, 1996). Chelichnus is characterized by rounded manual and pedal impressions that are of nearly equal size and that exhibit five short, rounded toe impressions (though fewer than five may be preserved). Trackways have a pace angulation of about 90o, and the manual and pedal impressions are close together (McKeever and Haubold, 1996). The three valid species of Chelichnus are distinguished on the basis of size alone and are presumed to be the tracks of a caseid-like animal (Haubold, 1971). Chelichnus bucklandi has pedal impression lengths of 10-25 mm, C. duncani of 25-75 mm and C. gigas of 75-125 mm (McKeever and Haubold, 1996). Thus, all of Gilmore's and Lull's named ichnotaxa from the Coconino Sandstone of the Grand Canyon can be placed in one of these three species. Gilmore (1927b) was aware of the similarity between some of his specimens from the Grand Canyon and those from Scotland, but he persisted with his (and Lull's) distinct ichnotaxonomy (Gilmore, 1928a).
Singularly, size is not the ideal criterion with which to distinguish between ichnospecies, however, the revised ichnotaxonomy presented here represents the current consensus (Table 1). The low ichnotaxonomic diversity of the Coconino is in keeping with the low animal diversity that would be expected in an arid dunefield.
Gilmore was aware that the Coconino Sandstone and Hermit Shale were deposited in different sedimentary environments, however, Baird (1965) was the first to emphasize that the differences between the Permian ichnofaunas of the redbeds of the American West and those of eolianites might be a result of facies differences. There has been a long tradition of recognizing ichnofacies in invertebrate traces, but the concept has only recently been applied to vertebrate tracks (Lockley et al., 1994). Tetrapod ichnofacies have been defined as "multiple ichnocoenoses that are similar in ichnotaxonomic composition and show recurrent association in particular environments (Lockley et al., 1994, p. 242). Lockley and others (1994), Hunt and others (1995), Haubold (1996) and Hunt and Lucas (1998a) have all discussed Permian tetrapod ichnofacies.
The low-diversity tetrapod ichnofauna of the Coconino Sandstone has been interpreted to represent the Chelichnus ichnofacies (= Laoporus ichnofacies of Lockley et al., 1994) that is known from the DeChelly and Coconino sandstones of Arizona, the Lyons Sandstone of Colorado, the Hopeman, Corncockle and Locharbriggs Sandstone formations of Scotland, the Cornberger Sandstein of Germany and the Los Reyunos Formation of Argentina (Hunt and Lucas, 1998a, b; Hunt and Santucci, 1998a).
|Figure 2. Map of trackway exhibiting unusual morphology from the Permian Coconino Sandstone near the Hermit Trail, Grand Canyon National Park, Arizona.
|Figure 3. Overview of tracksite looking up the dune face. A small Chelichnus duncani trackway (left arrows) zigzags up the dune face to the right ofo the large enigmatic trackway (right arrows).
In 1993, we noted a morphologically enigmatic trackway near the present Hermit Trail and have subsequently reexamined this trackway and others in the same area. The trackway is distinct from most Coconino Chelichnus tracks in five characteristics (Fig. 2 and 3): (1) the trackway proceeds directly up the dune face, whereas most trackways traverse at an oblique angle; (2) the tracks are much larger than average for the Coconino; (3) there is a prominent, sinuous tail drag; (4) the manus print is smaller than the pes: and, (5) the manus track is L-shaped. Subsequently, a second trackway of similar morphology was discovered near the first trackway. We later noted that Price (1998, p. 21) illustrated a similar trackway from the Coconino near Buck Farm Canyon, a side canyon of Marble Canyon within Grand Canyon National Park. Price's (1998, p. 21) specimen also has a sinuous tail-drag and L-shaped manus tracks (note first manus print on the left side of trackway in foreground of photograph).
The first Hermit Trail trackway is preserved in situ on a bedding plane that dips 55°. The left portion of the trackway is more distinct than the right. The pes tracks are ovoid with no distinct digital impressions. The tracks are oriented with the long axis in the direction of travel. The pes tracks average 10 cm in length and exhibit a stride between 55 and 58 cm. The manus tracks average 8 cm in antero-posterior length. These tracks are variable in morphology. Several are L-shaped with one axis directed antero-lateral to the direction of travel and the other lateral to slightly postero-lateral. The tail drag is continuous and sinuous, however, it is variable in width with a maximum of 5 cm. The pace angulation varies from between 90° to 120°.
These trackways do not conform to any of the trackway morphologies described by Gilmore. Furthermore, they differ from Chelichnus (sensu McKeever and Haubold, 1995) in: (1) possession of tail drag; (2) disparity in size between manus and pes impressions; (3) pace angulation greater than 90°; and (4) L-shaped manus impression. The only other tracktypes identified in Permian eolianites are lacertoid in morphology (Haubold et al., 1995). These tracks do have larger pace angulations, disparity in size between manus and pes impressions, and tail drag marks. However, lacertoid tracks are smaller and possess small sole pads.
In conclusion, the new trackway appears to represent a new component of the Coconino ichnofauna. Further study is needed to confirm whether this represents a new ichnotaxon. It is highly unlikely, but still possible that this track morphology represents an extreme extramorphological variant of Chelichnus.

Report: Hillary Clinton to Accept Secretary of State Job
British paper the 'Guardian' reports HRC is taking the administration job offered to her by Barack Obama.
The Guardian, in a source-less story, is reporting that Hillary Clinton will accept Barack Obama's offer for the position of Secretary of State. "Clinton plans to accept the job of secretary of state offered by Barack Obama, who is reaching out to former rivals to build a broad coalition administration, the Guardian has learned," the paper says. We're a little skeptical—why would a British paper get the scoop on this? But then, they are known for being a little quicker with the gossip over there. [Guardian]

The table of multiple comparisons tells me there is a significant difference between B and C. However, these two are not significantly different from A, and therefore there are in the same subset when we order the results.
Can I say there is a significant difference between B and C, or is that not possible?

charges, as time and expertise allow. However, telecom is most cost-effective when purchased in aggregate and therefore managed in aggregate. This doesn't diminish the role of the contracting officer on the front lines, but it begs for a centralized WEM function with the tools and expertise to take advantage of the scale of government's or agencies' aggregate wireless spend. Most enterprises already have been through this transition -- consolidating vendors and contracts into large pools that are managed through sophisticated optimization algorithms, which are fed each month by changes in available pricing plans. This is often the largest single source of savings for organizations.
Special Considerations for Government WEM
Government agencies have distinct requirements for implementing WEM within designated organizational structures and approval procedures. In evaluating commercial WEM solutions, public CIOs should include considerations such as:
1. Contract line item number-based ordering and pricing. Can the WEM solution's catalog handle all the features and bundles that the agency currently buys?
2. Special quoting workflows for service orders. Some agency purchasing policies require a competitive bid (rather than just buying off a vehicle or BPA). Make sure the selected solution can handle this process.
3. Multilevel approval. A configurable workflow tool is an essential component to handle the unique requirements of government purchasing.
4. Contract vehicle rate and budget tracking. Certain vendors with existing public-sector clients may have libraries of available rate plans to use in optimization and to compress implementation timelines and time to savings.
5. Security. Can the WEM solution be deployed and managed in the government organization's own data center? If not, does the solution provider qualify for the necessary clearances to host it on the organization's behalf? Also, how sensitive is the data and are there specific security measures and policies in place to protect it properly?
Key Components of a WEM Solution
The key enabler of a centralized WEM environment is an organization's core telecom expense management (TEM) solution, which allows organizations to proactively handle end-to-end wireline and wireless functions, such as ordering and provisioning, inventory, contracting, invoice management and reporting. Complete TEM solutions should be able to handle wireless and wireline together under a unified platform and offer different deployment options: licensed software, software as a service or managed services. Other key capabilities include:
Wireless portal for end-users -- A WEM wireless portal replaces carrier-provided portals to allow end- users to order devices from an approved catalog across all approved carriers. The portal should be able to route orders to a line approver or contracting officer based on configurable rules (e.g., all iPhones must be approved by the CIO). A wireless portal also reduces help-desk calls by enabling help requests and provides detailed reporting to support management decision-making in the field.
Wireless plan optimization services -- While a core TEM solution may offer algorithms for wireless optimization, additional savings benefits are likely to be uncovered with supplemented services. Dynamism and variety in usage and contract structure mean that there continues to be an "art" to achieving the highest overall savings.
Wireless help-desk service -- As mobile devices grow in power and complexity, there is a need for help-desk services with experts who have the latest knowledge on wireless issues and devices. Phone support is adequate for most organizations, but on-site help desk is often available at government agencies as well. Doing it onsite makes more sense when there are specific security requirements, combined with a large user base at a single location or campus that can make use of the wireless experts onsite.
Real-time wireless usage management and mobile device management (MDM) -- Increasingly mobile device management (MDM) and real-time wireless usage management (RWUM) are integral components of WEM programs. RWUM includes a software agent

On August 5, 2014, San Francisco-based ASTRO Studios, known for designing the Nike Fuelband, Xbox 360, and Nixon Block Speakers, launched a new brand of men's watches that are inspired by "the creative work ethic, ambition and lifestyle of America's West Coast, MINUS-8 is named after the GMT- 8 time zone." In a time of smartphones, smartwatches, activity trackers, and everything being connected to everything else as part of the Internet of Things, it is a bold move to launch a line of watches that are essentially just timepieces. It looks like bold, however, is what MINUS-8 does.
This decidedly masculine collection of four PVD-coated stainless steel watches are strikingly designed and make a bold and distinctive statement when worn. They don't blink or beep or let you know that your Ficus benjamina needs watering. Instead, they display the time of day, first and foremost, and perhaps the date, and they do so in the most straightforward manner, with good old-fashioned three-hand timing viewed through a sapphire crystal face. Nice.
Here's what's on offer:
Layer 24
The Layer 24 features a 24-hour clock, weekday, date, month, and standard three-hand timing. Layers create an arena of PVD-coated stainless steel discs, which add depth to the face while streamlining the exterior and highlighting the automatic movement on the backside.
The Layer possesses the bare essentials of the Layer look. It features an arena-like case is made of layered PVD-coated stainless steel discs that create depth in the case, three-hand timing, and a date window. The watch's movement is visible beneath and through the backside case.
The Edge houses a stopwatch that breaks time into minutes, seconds, and tenths of a second. Five-second intervals are marked on the case exterior allowing for a clean, classic watch face. The entire body is PVD-coated stainless steel, featuring a monochromatic finish that further connects each individual link of the bracelet.
The Zone has a bold, two-tone case that plays with the expected geometry of a watch face. With simple architecture and smooth textures, this minimalist watch has everything it needs and nothing more.
