Bright Blessings!
This weekend marks the first annual Dangerous Curves Plus Sized Belly Dancer Convention to be held right here in Detroit. Hosted by Adina Gamal and Co Director Yasaman Vrd'dhi, it promises to be an event to behold for local Southeastern Michigan lovers of Goddess Dance. With dancers from across the country, it is definitely a one of a kind experience not to be missed.
Long a tradition within our communities here, Belly Dance has been adopted and integrated into many of the groves, and circles, in our area as a celebration of the deity within themselves. Going back as far as the Pagan/Feminist partnership of the Flower Power days, many who remember agree with the view that
"the feminist movement, in the 1970s and 1980s in the USA, rediscovered belly dance as a form of dance that empowers women"
In a time and society when the curves of beautifully full figured women are subjected to scorn, these women have stepped up to dazzle everyone with a celebration of the beauty of this art with pride and boldness. Many in our local Pagan community have been involved with this project, some as far away as Ohio, some as close as Brighton, and all have celebrated the joy of it.
Workshops include:
- Spanish ATS Fusion with skirt and fan~Anai Inaru
- Touching your inner Goddess – Burlesque 101~Lottie
- The Cane is Able~Adina Gamal
- The Beauty of Fan Veils Workshop~Yasaman Vrd'dhi
- Dancing the Feminine~Audie OS
- Wunderkammer de le de Boheme Steampunk workshop~Sarah Schnider Koning
- The Fundamentals of Body Mechanics~Natasha
- Just Go With It~Nina Nisha
- Fancy Feet Traveling ~Aziza Ammar
- and many more
Vendors specializing in accommodating the worshipfully endowed include:
- Big Beautiful Belly Dance Apparel by Luna
- Shimmy Sista
- M.A.D Dance Designs
- Visions of Gia
- War Pony Forge (Michigan Renaissance Festival favorite)
- Off the Sholderz
- Sharifwear
- Troll Shop
- Souk
- Calico Garden
- Twin Flower Fancies (Detroit based!)
- Catspaw
- She Wolf Studio
Just to let everyone know, this is not a closed event. The Co-Director has stated
"...why Adina and I are having this convention, this is why the sub name plays a part, not to exclude anyone, it's to bring Plus size dancers out more as well as let those who are interested know that it's beautiful that they want to dance and that they should not be afraid to take that step"
In addition to the classes, there will be a Hafla and a formal show. Those of us who love seeing many of our Belly Dance community at the various Michigan Pagan Pride Day events will assuredly be able to catch a glimpse of some of our favorites. Bellydance is as interwoven into the Pagan community as cakes and ale, after all.
Can not make the convention but interested in a local class? Check out the "Magick in Motion Beginner Belly Dance Workshop" held by the First Metaphysical Church in Davison. The class will be taught by a wonderful Craft Sister, High Priestess Morgana Moonwater, from the Coven of the Raven Moon. I supped with this group at the Black Hat Society Tea in Holly and the energy in the room was amazing.
The convention will be held at the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Detroit - Dearborn. It starts this Friday and lasts thru Saturday night. For reservations, please register online.
For those unfamiliar with the term Goddess Dance and how it relates to the Divine Feminine may wish to pay a visit to House of Bastet, also in Detroit, for a perfect example of women awakening the connection within you.
Please enjoy one of this author's favorite videos fusing voluptuos hips, Belly Dance, and Goddess adoration: Joy of Yemoja/Oloku- as danced by the fabulous Eve, in the video accompanying this article.

Each Summer, Jumpstart offers a fundamental basketball camp for boys & girls grades 2-9th throughout North Central Oregon. Each of the five days (9am-3pm) are broken into an AM and PM session. Each session is focused on a foundational skill set. Shooting, rebounding, passing, moving without the ball, defense, team operation, team building, offense etc. Drill work is essential for setting the "muscle memory tracts" set. Athletes will then begin their league play at the conclusion of each session, where they are encouraged, over & over again, to implement their new learned skill during the 40 plus games scheduled. At the conclusion of the camp week, campers will have been building a league game record, and the teams will culminate with a tournament playoff. The Dufur pool is rented on Tuesday (girls) Wednesday (boys) for swimming. Athletes may or may not choose to DIP into the pool to cool off, they are encouraged to stay behind and work on their game.
5-9th campers in the lower gym
In the Upper gym, you'll find over 70, 2-4th grade youngsters learning to develop their newly gained skills. Learning to play the game of basketball is a difficult one for this age group. There are MANY resets during a typical 10 minute game. Learning to understand the top three calls an official will make during a game are , Travel, Dbl Dribble and the ever persistent, FOUL. Kids this age are getting a head start to their winter school or parks and rec. season. The more exposure these youngsters get, (trial and errors) the better chance they will have to succeed during their future contests.
2-4th boys and girl's warming up
History of Jumpstart----When I served as an area youth athletic director in Eugene, Oregon, I noticed many kids were interested in playing basketball. I also noticed that many kids lacked fundamental skills. Being a physical education teacher I took the next step in attempting to solve this lacking of youthful skills. Jumpstart basketball camp began at Willamette High School in Eugene, Oregon in 1992. It was a trial camp for two days during the Christmas holiday. That following summer I expanded the camp to 150 campers, held at Monroe Middle School, (in North Eugene), I offered another holiday camp, and another summer camp......they were always full.
I moved to The Dalles, Oregon, where Jumpstart continued at a small school known as Petersburg 1996, 1997, then it expanded out to the Dufur school district in 1998. It has continued in Dufur since then. Dufur's facilities are ideal to the program. Two large gyms, with many adjustable baskets, five outdoor courts as well. Camp limit has proven to be optimal at 150 campers, which has been reached each summer since the early days.

Nov. 21, 2012

The 85th match up for the oldest trophy bearing rivalry in the NCAA will occur this Friday as Arizona and Arizona State battle for the Territorial Cup. The legacy began in 1899 and was won by Arizona State, then known as the Arizona Territorial Normal School, by a score of 11-2. Arizona has since separated itself with a ten game edge over the Sun Devils, leading the series 47-37-1.
Not only is the Cup the oldest in the NCAA, it boasts one of the more interesting storylines as well.
The Territorial Cup was lost, almost immediately after the first game in 1899. It would be more than 80 years later until the Territorial Cup was found in the basement of an old Tempe church. While the Territorial Cup was lost, other trophies were given to the victors of the annual match up, including the Governor's Trophy, the Ben Goo Trophy, and the Saguaro Trophy. The Ben Goo Trophy is now given as the Bob Moran Most Valuable Player Award, and the Saguaro Trophy is awarded to the winning head coach.
"All great rivalries have something that they share," said Arizona Athletic Director Greg Byrne. "We talk a lot about making sure we have the Cup every year. That's an important part of who we are and what we do."
Head football coach Rich Rodriguez will lead the team in his first rivalry game against Arizona State, and hopes to keep both the Territorial Cup and Saguaro Trophy in Tucson. He'll have some familiarity with Arizona State, as head coach Todd Graham and several others used to be on Rodriguez's West Virginia staff.
"There are a few coaches on that staff that I've worked with before, but we're competing now," said Rodriguez. "I'm not calling them up and trading bedtime stories."
The football game won't be the only Arizona rivalry on Friday, as the volleyball team will travel up to Tempe to take on the Sun Devils.
While the Territorial Cup is reserved for the football game, the volleyball team isn't just competing for bragging rights. A half-point will be on the line for the two schools to count towards the Territorial Cup Series trophy, a piece of hardware given at the end of the season to the school with the most victories in rivalry match ups. The Wildcat volleyball squad won 3-1 to get the first half-point earlier this year in McKale, and is hoping to get the season sweep.
"We got the first half-point here," said head volleyball coach Dave Rubio. "I think the Territorial Cup Series gives pride to the whole athletic department. It's important and it adds more to something that's already pretty big."
The Territorial Cup Series trophy has not left the University of Arizona since its creation in 2009, as the Wildcats have won it all three years. Arizona is currently down 2 points to 1.5, but that could all change with the two big games the day after Thanksgiving.
When these two schools meet, everything is put on the line and the prospect of victory greatly outweighs the pain left on the field or court. Coach Rubio has experienced this for 21 years and knows exactly what it means to give 100 percent for a win.
"My favorite memory was in the late nineties, when my assistant coach Chris Lamb was here," said Rubio. "We were down 2-0 up at their place, but we came storming back and ended up winning in five. My assistant coach was so fired up that she high-fives me while Chris Lamb hits me on the shoulder. I end up dislocating my shoulder. I fell on my knees writhing in pain, and I realize I have to get up and shake Arizona State coach Patti Snyder's hand, so I get up, shake her hand, and then go into the training room to get my shoulder reset."
The battles fought between these two teams are fierce, and test the will-power of the athletes and coaches alike. However, the victories are sweet, and can lead to greatness beyond the Grand Canyon State.
"Our goal is to be the best athletic program in the state of Arizona," Byrne said, " which could then lead to being one of the best athletic programs in the Pac-12, and if you're one of the best in the Pac-12, you can be one of the best in the nation."
The Arizona Wildcats will look to take one step closer to that ultimate goal on Friday as two of its teams will look to compete in games that could be the most intensive and rewarding games of the players' lives.

In this article
You'll please all your pint-size party guests – even the picky eaters – by putting out a varied, colourful spread of food. Presentation matters to this age group, and the better your feast looks, the keener they'll be to tuck in.
What kind of food should I serve at my five-year-old's birthday party?Your five-year-old guests will need plenty of energy-releasing carbs.
Finger foods are still best for this age group. Put out mini sandwiches and slices of pizza or quiche. You can make your own mini pizzas by topping savoury muffins or pitta bread with tomato paste and cheese.
Children this age appreciate it when you're imaginative with the presentation. Cut the sandwiches with star-shaped pastry cutters. Or make faces on the pizzas using olives and sliced peppers – even though your guests might pick off the toppings!
Offer plenty of healthy options. Fruits and vegetables look colourful and attractive on the table, and the adults can pick at them too.
You could create a colourful mini salad bar. Try putting out a selection of:
- cherry tomatoes
- baby carrots
- sticks of celery
- cucumber slices
- baby Gem lettuce leaves
- sweetcorn (or baby sweetcorn cobs if you don't want to be picking up tiny pieces afterwards)
Add bowls of cubed cheese, some houmous or a cheesy dip, and maybe a pasta salad. The children can fill little bowls with what they like and come back for seconds.
The DIY option really appeals to children of this age group. If you can cope with the mess, finish the feast by putting out bowls of ice cream. Put fruit slices, bashed up biscuits and sprinkles in the middle of the table and let the children create their own sundaes.
I want to keep the party tea simple. What are my options?If you want an easier time of it, just serve slices of cheese and tomato pizza or hot dogs. Even the most finicky five-year-olds will find them hard to resist.
To add something healthy to the menu, offer strawberries and chunks of watermelon, or sliced apples and orange segments, depending on what's in season.
You could always avoid serving a meal by picking a party time in the middle of the morning or afternoon. That way, you only need to plan for snacks, drinks and cake.
What drinks should I serve at my five-year-old's birthday party?All that running around means your guests will be thirsty. Make sure the children have easy access to drinks when they need them.
Providing individual cartons or cans can be expensive. Children are liable to take one sip and wander off. Big plastic jugs of water, squash or diluted fruit juice are probably your best option. Colourful or bendy straws will make even the most every-day drink seem exciting.
What kind of cake should I pick for my five-year-old's birthday party?The birthday cake is one of the main highlights for five-year-olds. They'll love it if you tie the cake in with the party theme.
A princess perched on top of the cake, or a football scene created from fondant icing, will draw gasps of admiration.
If you're not the creative type, there's nothing wrong with opting for a store-bought cake. Your child and her small guests won't mind if you haven't spent hours in the kitchen with mixing bowls and piping bags.
Just be prepared for them to argue over who gets the piece with SpongeBob's head. Usually, the birthday child gets first dibs!

Veteran educator Dr. Angie McAllister's words may have summarized the whole conference.
"The quality of our entire lives in society is dependent on our thinking."
It was a sentiment the crowd no doubt agreed with. They were, after all, there to rally for the skeptical movement.
McAllister was speaking about raising children to think critically at the sixth annual Northeast Conference on Science and Skepticism, which took place from Friday to Sunday at the Fashion Institute of Technology in midtown Manhattan. The event brings scientists, activists and other thought leaders from the skeptical community together in the interest of fostering a more rational world.
Despite the regional implication of the conference's name, organizers said 27 states and seven countries were represented among the attendees who packed the 6,381 square-foot John E. Reeves Great Hall.
Speakers at this year's conference included such personalities as NASA astronaut Cady Coleman; psychiatrist and author Sally Satel; physician Paul Offit, who co-invented the rotavirus vaccine; and keynote Lawrence Krauss, the famous theoretical physicist, author, and director of Arizona State University's Origins Project.
For his presentation, Krauss brought a whiteboard to the stage and proceeded, with the flair of a showman, to draw circles representing "cows" to demonstrate why approximations are so important to doing science well. Understanding basic physical limits to the size of biological structures – such as cows - does not require knowing the details of their shapes, he pointed out.
One of the problems in science education, Krauss said, is that approximation isn't taught in school. "We give students problems that can be solved exactly," he said, but "nothing in the world can be solved exactly."
The conference also featured a live taping of The Skeptic's Guide to the Universe podcast, winner in the science category of The People's Choice Podcast awards three years in a row.
NECSS began in part out of an effort by the podcast's hosts to honor the memory of Skeptic's Guide co-founder Perry Deangelis, who died in 2007. In its short history, the conference has grown from one day to three. It's become more varied, as well, featuring workshops, debates, special after-hours events and even a second live-taped podcast called Rationally Speaking.
Rebecca Watson, one of the co-hosts of the Skeptic's Guide and founder of Skepchick.org, said conferences like NECSS are important for developing a sense of community among self-identified skeptics.
"I do everything online, and I have some interaction with people through things like emails and comments," she said. "But it means a lot to meet someone person-to-person, to have someone come up to you and say they're excited to be at their first conference."
Going to a conference, she pointed out, is often the first step people take toward getting more involved in campaigning, volunteering and other forms of activism.
It also helps her refill her personal reserves. "I leave completely exhausted – I mean, I'll probably sleep for two days after this," she said. "But when I wake up after that, I'll have the energy I need to continue."
One highlight of the conference was a debate about genetically modified foods between Kevin M. Folta, chairman of the Horticultural Sciences Department at the University of Florida, and Marty Mesh, Executive Director of Florida Certified Organic Growers & Consumers, Inc. Folta and Mesh traded barbs over the benefits and risks of GM foods for health, plant biodiversity and feeding the poor. It was a contentious topic even for this largely scientifically literate bunch; when the floor was opened for questions, about a dozen people leapt to the standing mic in front of the stage.
Between speakers, participants were able to browse tables set up on the periphery of the hall with information for organizations like the Secular Student Alliance and the Secular Coalition for America. Several speakers remained on hand after their talks to chat with attendees. Coleman was a particular favorite; she hung around the hall most of Sunday as people flocked around her.
John Levin of Norwalk, Conn., had never been to NECSS before, and said his first experience was excellent.
Levin thought Krauss was the most entertaining speaker. He said the most educational talk was by neuroscientist Heather Berlin, who discussed research into the neural correlates of consciousness and the implications for free will.
"Her ability to explain human consciousness and how the brain works speaks to the great personal mystery that she and her colleagues are working on," Levin said.
Berlin would probably be glad to hear that – she said sharing her work with a broader audience is why she delved into the public communication of science in the first place.
"Being in the lab, you might work for months or years on a study, spend more time writing it up and submitting it to a journal, where it would be read by maybe 10 experts in your area. I felt like it wasn't having an impact," she explained. "I thought if people only knew about it, they would be really excited."
Now, she gets to experience peoples' excitement firsthand. "When I see that," she said, "I go, 'Oh, that's right – that's why I do the thing I do.'"

As the Fiat 500 embarks on US shores, news is that Alfa Romeo production in Mexico will start in June. It could be important information - announcing that the Alfa Romeo brand will be ready to return to the US car market in 2012. The news comes as Sergio Marchionne made a visit to the Chrysler Toluca plant. The factory has a production capacity of 120,000 vehicles: 50,000 of which are destined for the North American and Canadian markets. The number of workers employed there is about 2,714.
The US Fiat 500 is being produced in Toluca, as is the Dodge Journey. The Journey-based Fiat Freemont coming to Europe will also be produced there and it seems that room could be made for Alfa Romeo models coming to the US. Whatever happens, the additional production space will be needed if Fiat is to get anywhere near its ambitious targets for 2011. Marchionne intends to produce two million vehicles this year which is an increase of 32 percent.

Dwarfs in Norse Mythology
The dwarfs are small and misshapen creatures made from the maggots in the giants Ymir dead body. They live under the ground in the world of Nidavellir, the home of the Dwarfs.
The dwarfs are natural good at crafting and loves treasures and the rare metals.
Alfrigg is one of the four dwarfs who made the Brisingamen for the goddess Freya; the other three are Berling, Dvalin, and Grerr.
Alvíss puts a ring around the arm of Þrúðr, by Lorenz Frølich..
Alviss "All Wise" he is a dwarf, and a master smith. He is famous for his wisdom. Thor's daughter Trud as was promised to Alviss, but Thor did not want Alviss to be married with his daughter. So he made a plan to stop Alviss from doing so. Thor told Alviss that because he was so little he had to prove that he was wise, Alviss agreed. Thor made so many tests, that they lasted to the sun had risen. And because Alviss is a dwarf, he was petrified when he was exposed to the sunlight, Trud remains unmarried.
Andvare is a craftsman and was a very wealthy dwarf. But he was robbed by Loki, and lost everything he owned. Among his belonging was also a cursed ring, Andvarenaut.
The ring Andvarenaut is cursed, but has the same abilities as the ring Draupnir Odin's ring. Every ninth day eight new rings would drop out of Andvarenaut. The eight new rings are of equal quality as Andvarenaut. The ring will always cast a great curse on the owner, and bring misery, bad luck, and make the owner unhappy.
Austri is one of the four dwarfs named after the cardinal compass directions. The others are Vestri "West", Nordi "North", and Sudri "South". Austri and the three other dwarfs was sent out into each corner of the world, to hold up the four corners of the sky.
He is one of the four dwarfs who made the Brisingamen for the goddess Freya. The other three are Alfrigg, Dvalin, and Grerr.
His name Brokkr, means "the one who works with metal fragments" or "blacksmith" Brokkr is a dwarf, and an incredible good craftsman.
Brokkr has a brother by the name Eitri.
The two brothers Brokkr and Eitri crafted Gungnir, Draupnir and Mjölnir.
He is a dwarf that with his brother Nabbi, made the magical boar named Hildisvini. Dain also made the sword "Dainsleif", it is cursed. Once it has been drawn, it must kill a man before it can be returned to the sheath. A blow from this magical sword will never failed to kill or cause a wound that never will heal.
He is one of the four dwarfs who made the Brisingamen for the goddess Freya. The other three are Alfrigg, Berling, and Grerr.
Eitri is a dwarf who helped create three of the precious objects of the gods. In a competition, the trickster god Loki bet the dwarf Brokkr and Eitri, that they could not make anything as fine as the gifts, as another group of dwarfs had already made for the gods, a golden headpiece, a ship, and a spear. Eitri and his brother Brokkr, then crafted a boear with golden bristles "Gullinbursti", a gold ring "Draupnir", and Thor's hammer "Mjölnir". Experts working in the later part of the 20th century agree that earlier scholars had mistakenly applied the name Sindri to the brother of Brokkr.
Fafnir and Sigurd
Fafnir is the son of the dwarf king Hreidmar.
Fafnir has two brothers Otr and Regin.
Fafnir is a dwarf he has a powerful right arm and a brave soul. He is the guard of his father's house. The house is made from gleaming gold and blinking gems. Fafnir is the strongest and most aggressive of the three brothers.
One upon a time, Odin, Loki and Honir were Traveling when they came across Otr, who had the likeness of an Otter during the day. Loki killed the Otter "Otr" with a stone and the three Aesir skinned their catch.
The gods came to Hreidmar's home that evening and were pleased to show off the otter's skin. Hreidmar and his remaining two sons then captured the gods and held them prisoner while Loki was forced to collect the ransom, which was to stuff the otter's skin with gold and cover its outside with red gold. Loki carried out the task by collecting the cursed gold of Andvari's gift as well as the ring, Andvarinaut, and the gold which were told to Loki as items that would bring death to whoever owned them.
Fafnir killed his father Hreidmar to get all the gold for himself. He became very crazy, so he went into the wilderness to keep his fortune, eventually turning into a dragon "the symbol of greed" to guard his treasure. Fafnir would also breathe poison onto the land around him and bring terror in the hearts of the people nearby, so no one would ever dare to go near him and his huge treasure. The brother of Fafnir, planned to get revenge of his fathers death, so that he could get the treasure. So Regin sent his foster son Sigurd to kill the dragon.
Regin taught Sigurd to dig a pit in which he could lie and wait under the trail that Fafnir used to get to a stream and there plunge his sword "Gram", into the heart of Fafnir as crawls over to the pit of water. Regin then ran away in fear, leaving Sigurd to the task. While digging the trench, Odin came along in form of an old man with a long beard, advising Sigurd to dig more trenches for the blood of Fafnir to run into, so that Sigurd does not drown in the blood. The earth quaked and the ground nearby shook as Fafnir crawled into the water. Fafnir also blew poison into his path as he made his way to the stream.
Sigurd, stabbed Fafnir in the left shoulder as he crawled over the ditch that he was lying in and succeeded in mortally injuring the dragon. As the great dragon lied there in a dig dying, he spoke to Sigurd and asked him what his name was, and what his father's and mother's names is, and who sent him to kill such a terrifying dragon. Fafnir figured out that his own brother, Regin, had planned the dragon's death, and then told Sigurd that he is pleased that Regin will also cause Sigurd's death. Sigurd told Fafnir that he will go back to the dragon's lair and take all his treasure.
Fafnir warned Sigurd that all who own the gold will be destined to die, but Sigurd replies that all men must one day die, and it is the ambition of many men to be wealthy until that dying day, so he will take the gold without fear. Regin then went back to Sigurd after Fafnir was slain. Corrupted by greed, Regin plotted to kill Sigurd. After Sigurd had cooked Fafnir's heart for him to eat and take all the treasure for himself.
Sigurd had tasted the blood of Fafnir, while cooking the heart and gained knowledge of the language of birds. And learned of Regin's impending attack from the Oðinnic "of Odin" birds discussion and killed Regin by cutting off his head with the sword "Gram" Sigurd then ate some of Fafnir's heart and kept the remainder, which would later be given to Gudrun after their marriage.
He is a dwarf. He has a brother named Galar. Fjalar and his brother killed Kvasir to get his wisdom, and turned his blood into the mead of poetry, which inspired poets.
Once Fjalar and Galar murdered a giant named Gilling, along with his wife. Their son, Suttung, searched for his parents and threatened the two brothers, who offered him the magical mead. Suttun took it and hid it in the center of a mountain, where his daughter, Gunnlod, would be standing guard. Odin eventually choose to get the mead. He worked for Baugi, Suttung's brother, and was a farmer for a full summer, then asked for a little sip of the mead. Baugi made a small hole into the mountain but Odin shifted into a snake and slid inside. When he came inside, Gunnlod was guard but he swayed her to give him three sips. But Odin continued to drink all the mead, shift into an eagle and fly away, but hardly escaped.
He is a dwarf. He has a brother named Fjalar. Galar and his brother killed Kvasir to get his wisdom, and turned his blood into the mead of poetry, which inspired poets.
He is one of the four dwarfs, who made the Brisingamen for the goddess Freya. The three others are Alfrigg, Berling, and Dvalin.
Hreidmar is a master magician, Hreidmar has three sons Regin, Fafnir and Otr, and two daughters Lofnheid and Lyndheid. Hreidmar owned a house of glittering gold and flashing gems built by Regin and guarded by Fafnir. After Otr was accidentally killed by Loki, the Asir repaid Hreidmar with the cursed ring Andvarinaut, plus the gold made by the ring. Fafnir and Regin killed their father for the cursed ring Andvarinaut. Fafnir decided that he wanted the ring for himself, so he turned into a dragon and scared Regin away.
He is a dwarf that suddenly appeared at Balder's funeral, and got in the way of the god Thor. Thor was as always hot tempered and kicked Lit, into the flames of the funeral ship. Lit hereby gained immortality in Norse mythology, by being burned to ashes along with Balder and his wife Nanna.
Lynheid is the daughter of Hreidmar, she has a sister named Lofnheid and three brothers, Fafnir, Reid, and Otr.
Vestri is one of the four dwarfs named after the cardinal compass directions. The others are Austri "East", Nordi "North", and Sudri "South". Vestri and the three other dwarfs was sent out into each corner of the world, to hold up the four corners of the sky.
Otr is the son of Hreidmar, Otr has two brothers Regin and Fafnir. Otr is a shape shifter and usually took the form of an otter. He was killed by Loki, because he thought he were a real otter. Hreidmar demanded to get enough gold to cover the dead otter's pelt and fill its insides.
Mime (Reginn) by Arthur Rackham.
Regin is the son of Hreidmar.
Regin has two brothers, Otr and Fafnir.
Regin had a foster son named Sigurd.
While his brother Fafnir was cursed by the ring Andvarenaut, and turned himself into a dragon. Regin worked as a blacksmith for the Danish royal court. Regin was equally affected by the curse as Fafnir was, and got Sigurd to go and kill Fafnir. And Regin then planned to kill Sigurd afterwards, but the birds warned Sigurd, what Regin was about to do and killed Regin first.

Revan vs. Anikan if he didn't have to be in that Darth Vader costume

Interesting topic.
LoH, however much respect I have for you, Im going to have to call you on this. Darth Vader (with the suit and without) was instrumental in defeating a very large portion of the Jedi Order (and I dont want to hear you say that the clone troops killed most of them, blah blah blah, he had to kill some if not most of them himself, with a little backup.) at the temple. On the other hand, when did Revan march into the Jedi Temple and murder everyone in sight, oh thats right. He didn't. He walked in, asked politely if anyone wanted to join him in fighting the mandalorians and left.
Personally, I think that Revan would win, but not for the reasons stated above. Revan was a master of tactics and strategy, sure, but that wouldn't help in a lightsaber battle.
Here's my combat equation for this battle.
(Revan's Juyo + Echani Battle Precognition) + (Anakin's Djem So/Shien + Superior Force-abilities) = Slim victory for Revan
Anyone who says that Tactics and Strategy would have any effect on a single-man engagement should be lined up and shot, thats just ridiculous.
Im also going to have to agree with Gob here. Revan IS an unknown. Was he a consular, sentinel, or guardian? Did he prefer kicking ass with his lightsaber, or with the Force? Just how effective was his combat strategy, was it really amazing, or just the ability to bring endless overwhelming force into play? We'll never know, because KotOR isnt set during the Mandalorian Wars, its set after.

If there are two twins. such that one of them goes on a space voyage maintaining a constant velocity, and that one never returns to earth, and the twins decide to never meet but send information about their age to each other by some light pulse or any other method.
If then one knows that he is younger, won't he know he is the one travelling thus violating the postulate of relativity that all inertial frames are equal w.r.t. all phenomena and that one can never know if he is moving with a constant velocity.

The Gemini X mission began with the launch of the Gemini Atlas-Agena target vehicle from complex 14. The Gemini Agena target vehicle (GATV) attained a near-circular, 162- by 157-nautical-mile orbit. Spacecraft No. 10 was inserted into a 145- by 86-nautical-mile elliptical orbit. Slant range between the two vehicles was very close to the nominal 1000 miles. Major objective of the mission was achieved during the fourth revolution when the spacecraft rendezvoused with the GATV at 5 hours 23 minutes ground elapsed time and docked with it about 30 minutes later. More spacecraft propellant was used to achieve rendezvous than had been predicted, imposing constraints on the remainder of the mission and requiring the development of an alternate flight plan. As a result, several experiments were not completed, and another secondary objective - docking practice - was not attempted. To conserve fuel and permit remaining objectives to be met, the spacecraft remained docked with the GATV for about 39 hours. During this period, a bending mode test was conducted to determine the dynamics of the docked vehicles, standup extravehicular activties (EVA) were conducted, and several experiments were performed. The GATV primary and secondary propulsion systems were used for six maneuvers to put the docked spacecraft into position for rendezvous with the Gemini VIII GATV as a passive target. The spacecraft undocked at 44 hours 40 minutes ground elapsed time, separated from the GATV, and used its own thrusters to complete the second rendezvous some three hours later. At 48 hours and 42 minutes into the flight, a 39-minute period of umbilical EVA began, which included the retrieval of a micrometorite collection package from the Gemini VIII Agena. The hatch was opened a third time about an hour later to jettison extraneous equipment before reentry. After about three hours of stationkeeping, the spacecraft separated from the GATV. At 51 hours 39 minutes ground elapsed time, the crew performed a true anomaly-adjust maneuver to minimize reentry dispersions resulting from the retrofire maneuver.
A Zenit-2 spy satellite capsule has gone off course, splashed down in the Volga River, and sunk. Vershinin is in the hospital with intestinal polyps. Kamanin is reminded of Korolev's case, although he is told Vershinin's condition is not serious. There is criticism of the botched Zenit-2 recovery from Kutakhov. Meanwhile the Central Committee has decided to take no action on Czechoslovakia but send a letter to the Czech Communist Party. Kamanin is sick of this limp-wristed talk, talk, talk.

There's Something About Mullet
There's something about mullet that makes them attractive to anglers across the disciplines. Although, technically, a saltwater fish they often feed in freshwater, in river estuaries and creeks, where they tend to browse upon algae and tiny organisms among weed beds.
Bread is the preferred bait for us anglers, with their delicate mouths requiring tiny hooks and delicate lines. They are a cunning, tremendously hard-fighting fish; and by both looks and scrap, they are similar in many ways to tropical bonefish.
This 'crossover' fish is superb fun to target in the warm summer months, when they shoal in vast numbers close to shore in the warmer, shallow waters. My favourite method of targeting them is with a fly rod – 8wt trout rod, floating line, a floating bead as an indicator float, and a team of flies tied very closely together that resemble maggots or bread - small, white and fluffy. Casting into a frenzied shoal produces instant results.
This is the key to mullet fishing.
Usually, you can't just turn up and catch them, regardless of whether you see fish cruising by - you need to get them feeding – and this is where it can get messy…
In a bucket, mash together mackerel, cans of tuna, loads of bread, porridge – anything – with water until you have a nice big guts-n'-all bucket of rubby dubby. Feed it into a tight area and, usually, the mullet will turn on and converge on the area en masse.
Mullet patrolling in areas without feed are less likely to be fooled by your single baited hook. They are a clever species, dropping their guard only when heavily baited water whips them into a feeding frenzy.
I decided to put a camera underwater and watch the feeding shoals at one of my favourite mullet venues, Torness Nuclear Power Station in East Lothian, Scotland. The fish are resident throughout summer, and on that particular occasion they were hanging deep in the water.
The footage revealed dozens of fish feeding very close to the seabed. Our baits, high up in the water, were largely ignored and the video provided a lesson to me and I hope you will find it fascinating as well.
Coarse anglers, fly anglers, sea anglers; take out your lightest tackle and target these brilliant fish. They will be around our coasts until September and once you land one you will be hooked on the species for life, I guarantee – just remember to set a light drag!

I managed to catch my first ever mullet this summer at the first attempt although it did take around 3 circuits of the marina i was fishing to get a hittable take. Over the moon i was and it felt like being a kid going fishing for the first time so another mullet addict here. They are very cagey but found i found it was more to do with bankside disturbance than presentation as every time i got some on the feed a local would turn up and tell me how hard they are to catch, standing over me looking over the edge whilst i was crouched like an idiot. There's some irony there i think. Cracking fighters and well worth catching on coarse gear.If you can find a weed raft in the harbour try dropping your bread flake alongside it the gently drawing your float onto the raft so it sits in the weed and stays with it, the bread hanging over the edge of the weed. Sometimes mullet will hide from people under the weed rafts and your bread flake just dangling over the edge might induce a take. Another good place is under boats, but beware of the mooring ropes.

The Museum of International Masks and Puppets' collection is based on the six primary geographic locations of cultures: Africa, Asia, Europe, North America, Oceania, and South America. Within that the collections focus on specific cultures.
Our focused collections are:
In each of our collections the attempt is made to collect for two distinctly different uses: "Viewing" and "Hands On." Art and anthropological museum pieces are collected for gallery presentations. Contemporary artifacts that are presentations of a culture's heritage are collected for "hands on use" and performance.
Hands on contemporary artifacts are presented with supportive resource materials in Open Hand Theater's Traveling Mask and Puppet Museum, our "Out of the Box" artifacts lending library, and in selected artist residency programs.

Piña Colada
Phase 1 – Shake It Up
Makes 1 pint, 1 serving
Pineapple has a powerful proteolytic enzyme called bromelain that digests proteins, and it's used as a debriding agent to slough dead tissue from burns and wounds. It's also known to decrease inflammation, which is why it's a main ingredient during days 1, 2, and 3.
- 1 cup pineapple, chopped, fresh or frozen
- ¼ cup almonds (or 2 tablespoons hemp protein powder + 2 tablespoons flax meal, or 2 tablespoons brown rice protein powder)
- 1 tablespoon virgin coconut oil
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract, alcohol –free, or ½ whole vanilla bean
- 1 cup filtered water
½ teaspoon matcha powder or 1 cup brewed green tea instead of filtered water
Place all ingredients into your high-speed blender, including green tea, if using. Blend until smooth.
Will keep for two days in the fridge.
Trail Mix Cookies
Phase 3 Blast Off
Makes 1 Serving
When I can't get onto a trail for a hike, I like to bring the trail with me! These cookies are filled with all the goodies I like to pack with me on a long hike in the canyons.
- ¼ cup dry almonds
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon powder
- Pinch sea salt, to taste
- 2 tablespoons walnuts
- 1/3 cup medjool dates, pitted
- 2 tablespoons raisins
- 2 tablespoons sunflower seeds
¼ teaspoon maca powder, to taste (energy enhancing)
Combine almonds, cinnamon, and salt in food processor. Pulse into chunks. Add walnuts and pulse into chunks. Add dates, raisins, sunflower seeds, and maca, if using, and pulse to mix well. If your batter is not sticking together, add a splash of water or another medjool date to help bind it together. Or, if it's too sticky, add a bit more of the dry ingredients to get that perfect batter consistency.
Scoop about 1 ½ to 2 tablespoons of dough onto a sheet tray lined with parchment paper. Flatten into cookies.
Cookies will keep for several weeks or longer stored in an airtight container in the fridge, or even longer in the freezer (thaw before eating).

Freshman Alex Massey Threw Six Innings and Allowed One Run on Sunday at Houston
May 13, 2012
Box Score (PDF) | Season Stats (PDF)
Senior J. Schaffer Postgame Comments (Video) | Freshman A. Massey Postgame Comments (Video)
HOUSTON, Texas - Not since the 2000 season had the Tulane baseball team won all of their Conference USA road series, but on Sunday (May 13) the Green Wave claimed an 11-2 victory over Houston at Cougar Field to finish with four C-USA road series victories in as many tries. The Olive and Blue raced out to an early 4-0 and Alex Massey made that total stand up with six innings of one-run work on the mound.
It was just the second since joining Conference USA that Tulane was able to win all of their road series in a season. Tulane won two of three games at Memphis, UAB, East Carolina and Houston this season to finish the regular season with a 10-8 record on the road. The victory also pushed the team to 35 wins on the season, which are the most victories in a season since winning 39 in 2008.
"I think (winning on the road) shows that we have a veteran club," said Tulane head coach Rick Jones. "We have a club that can pitch and play really defense and if you don't pitch against us it is going to be tough. We don't let in a lot of runs and we have a veteran club that can score runs if you don't pitch against us."
Tulane (35-17, 12-9 C-USA) got the offense started with four runs in the first inning against Cougar starting pitcher Aaron Garza before the right-hander could record an out. Brennan Middleton and Garret Cannizaro singled and Nick Schneeberger was hit by a pitch to load the bases before a Jeremy Schaffer single plated the first run. Blake Crohan followed with a double to right-center field to score two runs and end the day for Garza. Sean Potkay would tack on the fourth run of the frame with a sacrifice fly.
Houston (17-30-1, 5-15-1 C-USA) got a run back in the second inning versus Massey, but that was all the Cougar offense would muster versus the rookie right-hander. Massey tossed six innings in his eighth start of the season and retired 13 of the final 14 batters he faced to improve to 3-1 on the season. He While Massey was holding the UH offense at bay, the Green Wave offense continued their season long tear.
Tulane would add two runs in the fourth, one in the fifth and two more in the sixth to move their lead to 9-1. Sean Potkay started the fourth with his fifth home run of the season - all on the road - and Cannizaro added the second run with an RBI infield single. Andrew Garner pushed across a run with a base hit in the fifth, while Middleton and Cannizaro each added RBIs in the sixth.
The Green Wave added single runs in the seventh and eighth innings, but a Houston run in the seventh took the run-rule out of the equation. Potkay scored his second run of the afternoon in the seventh when Troy McCartney grounded into a bases loaded double play and a Garner double scored Crohan from first after the junior reached on an error with two outs in the frame.
Kyle McKenzie came on to start the seventh and allowed a run on three hits in an inning and two-thirds of relief work. McKenzie loaded the bases in the eighth, but Tyler Mapes came on to strike out the final batter of the eighth and throw a scoreless ninth to preserve the 11-2 victory.
"It seems like the more wounded we are, the better we play (right now)," said Jones. "It was unfortunate to have the injuries that we have had, of late, but we played through them as well as I could have possibly hoped for. You have to give credit to our entire roster and we pitched really well again today. I thought that Alex (Massey) fought through it and made pitches when he had too, even though he didn't have really good command early. He really settled in, found his command and got us through six innings."
At the plate, Middleton moved his reached base streak to 29 games with a three-for-four performance at the plate. The junior posted his 15th base hit bunt of the season and tripled into the left-center field gap before leaving the game due to injury. Cannizaro also belted out three hits and drove in two RBIs before leaving the game after being hit by a pitch in the eighth inning. Potkay returned to the lineup after missing seven starts and had a home run, a pair of RBIs and a walk.
As a team, Tulane walked four times, were hit by two pitches and posted ten-plus hits for the fifth straight game. Crohan and Garner each had two of the team's ten RBIs in the series finale with the Cougars. The defense played an errorless game and turned three double-plays, one that closed out the 35th win of the season in the ninth.
Tulane will close out the regular season with a three game home stand against Marshall starting on Thursday, May 17 at 6:30 inside Greer Field at Turchin Stadium. The Green Wave and Marshall will continue the series at 6:30 on Friday, May 18 evening before they will honor their seniors on Senior Day at 1:00 on Saturday, May 19.
- Houston leads the all-time series, 31-27.
- Tulane posted its 35th win on Sunday, their most wins in a season since going 39-22 in 2008.
- Tulane won its fourth Conference USA road series of the season, marking just the second time in school history that Tulane has won all of their C-USA road series (2000; at Houston, at Cincinnati, at UAB, at Memphis, at USF)
- Tulane won their second straight series at Houston with a 2-1 series victory on Sunday, also won series 2-1 in 2010.
- Tulane sent eight batters to the plate in the first and sixth innings, marking the 37th and 38th times this season they have sent eight of more hitters to the plate in an inning.
- Tulane posted its fifth straight ten-plus hit game and 30th such effort of the year on Sunday afternoon.
- Brennan Middleton moved his reached base streak to 29 games with a leadoff single on Sunday.
- Middleton posted his 15th base hit bunt of the season in the second inning.
- Sean Potkay hits his fifth home run of the season, all on the road, on Sunday. (2x @Wichita State, 1x @ UAB, 1x @ East Carolina, 1x @ Houston)
- Alex Massey fanned a career-high seven batters in his eighth start of the season.
- Massey improved to 3-1 on the season with six innings of work on Sunday.

Dear Lucasarts Battlefront Development Team
I'm one of the three leaders of the mod, The Expanded Universe. (eu.swbffiles.com)
i have one single question to ask you.
When you release the SDK's, will the map editor allow us to import models (eg buildings, plants, tree's, vehicles) into our new maps??
We wish to know because our modelling team wishes to begin to create ALL the models we will need for the creations of our maps. so that when the SDK's are released, we can simply begin to create the maps.
Please get back to me at firstname.lastname@example.com or reply to this thread
(can a moderator please move this to the main section of the forums..? or even the support section?)
Bug Reports/Requests/Game Feedback is more appropriate. I hope you get dev feedback Benjo.

Silken Scallop Shell, Pecten sericeus: The Silken Scallop Shell is a somewhat unusual bi-valve since the right valve is moderately arched and the left valve is flat or nearly so.
They have 22 or 23 low and broad ribs that are triangular in section. The valves are brightly colored in shades of brown to pinkish with the left valve being more highly colored than the right.
They range in size to 7.5 cm (3.0 inches). They are found in sand offshore at depths up to 500 feet in the lower two-thirds of the Sea of Cortez and south to Peru.
These shells are "uncommon" and currently sought after for use to make decorative jewelry. They are also sold for shell collections via a brisk internet trade.
The Silken Scallop Shell is a large sized member of the Pectinidae Family which are more commonly known as the Scallop Shells. The shells are highly colored, nearly circular with wing like extensions on the hinge line with radial exteriors and porceleaneous interiors. There are numerous members of the family which are found in both warm waters and cold waters. Most are free swimming. They have long been a favorite of shell collectors due to their simple beauty of form. Five members of the family are found in Mexican waters. However none are commercially important.

The National Hurricane Center (NHC) says the first tropical storm has formed off the coast of Florida. As of 11 a.m. Arthur had formed and it has winds of 40 MPH. The storm is about 95 miles southeast of Cape Canaveral and is moving to the northwest at 2 mph. A tropical storm watch has been issued for portions of the eastern Florida coast. Rainfall amounts of 1 to 2 inches, with as much as 4 inches can be expected over areas of Florida.
The storm is expected to become a hurricane and be just off the coast of Cape Hatteras, N.C. on Friday, July 4th with winds around 80 mph.
Anyone along the Southeastern coast of the United States should listen to updates about this storm. Expect rip currents if you are in the coastal waters. Rip currents are strong currents that can cause drowning's by pulling the swimmer out to sea. The current can have speeds of up to 8 feet per second. If caught in a rip current you should swim parallel to the shoreline until you have exited the current.
Another danger from hurricanes is the flooding that they can cause. Flooding can come from the storm surge as well as rivers, streams and pond.
A storm surge will occur as the storm makes landfall or the winds blow toward the shoreline for an extended period of time. The storm surge from the hurricane can be the most dangerous part of the storm. Many people drown from the storm surge by trying to "ride out" the storm.
Inland flooding of rivers and streams are extremely dangerous. The problem with the flooding of roads is you have no idea how deep the water is. Looking at the water on the road can me misleading. It may look to be only a few inches deep when in reality the road is washed out and it is several feet deep. It only takes a little depth of fast moving water to sweep away a vehicle. Never drive across a flooded road or highway. Turn around and find another way to get to your destination.
If you live in a low laying area that is subject to flash flooding you should pay attention to local evacuation orders from your local authorities. Follow their recommendations. When you evacuate, do not forget your pets.

Another of the Clint Eastwood Westerns, but this one was a Hollywood version. After proving himself a box office commodity in movies produced in Italy, Hollywood decided that they wanted Clint all for themselves, and scripts started filtering in his direction. This was among the first, and pretty soon, he even managed to break out of the Western genre. This one also stars a young Robert Duvall.

College Hockey:Union Upsets No. 10 Clarkson
Netminder Mrazek Stars, Fox Nets Game Winner in OT
SCHENECTADY, N.Y. — After losing three straight one-goal games at Messa Rink, and facing a 10th-ranked Clarkson team that had the nation's longest current unbeaten streak, Union needed some kind of spark.
Goalie Justin Mrazek and forward T.J. Fox provided that spark.
Mrazek made 32 saves, and Fox scored the game-winning goal 1:04 into overtime Saturday to give the Dutchmen a 2-1 ECACHL victory that ended the Golden Knights' 10-game unbeaten streak.
Union (4-8 ECACHL, 11-11-2 overall) had dropped 3-2 decisions to Harvard two weeks ago, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute last Saturday and St. Lawrence on Friday.
"I really like this team," Union coach Nate Leaman said. "It's been frustrating because this is a very good hockey team. We just haven't had the results to show for it in the league. Out of league, we've done great.
"Hopefully, we can use this as a spark to light the fire within the league. I told the guys in the locker room [Saturday] morning the propane gas is leaking right now. We just need the spark. If we get the spark, we're going to catch fire."
Mrazek was on fire all game. He was brilliant over the second and third periods, stopping 21 shots.
His best save came midway through the second period during a Clarkson power play. Mrazek quickly slid to his left to make a pad save on a one-timer by Chris D'Alvise from about five feet out.
"He's unreal," Union forward Torren Delforte said. "He's been playing awesome lately. All through practice, he's been working hard. It's just coming together."
Mrazek credited his defense with making things easy for him against the Knights (6-3-2, 14-6-3).
"I think the difference was I could see most of the shots, where as [Friday] night, [St. Lawrence] did a better job of getting in front," Mrazek said. "Our 'D' did a great job tonight of taking the guys out in front, and letting me see everything. That makes all the difference in the world to a goalie."
The Dutchmen didn't wait long to put the game away in OT.
Josh Coyle started the game-winning play, sending the puck to Delforte in the neutral zone. That created a two-on-one break. Delforte skated down the left wing, and had Fox on his right. As Delforte got to the left circle, he sent the puck over to Fox.
Fox, who leads the ECACHL in scoring lead with 29 points, got the puck on his backhand. He quickly moved it to his forehand and lifted over goalie David Leggio for his 11th goal of the season.
"Josh made a strong play on the boards, and won the battle and poked it up to Torren," Fox said. "We were using our feet, and beat their guys up ice. He made a nice pass, and I buried it, somehow."
Clarkson coach George Roll credited the Dutchmen with making a great play, and was also pleased with his team's performance.
"We have nothing to hang our heads about," Roll said. "We played a hell of a hockey game. It could have gone either way."

If future government spending on surface transportation infrastructure matched recent amounts, the condition of the highway and transit systems would probably deteriorate. To increase the funding available for infrastructure projects and to improve the selection process for those projects, some analysts and policymakers have suggested the creation of an "infrastructure bank."
In a report released today, CBO analyzes an illustrative federal infrastructure bank—one that is representative of those in many recent proposals.
As envisioned, an infrastructure bank would be federally funded and controlled and would select and finance surface transportation projects nationwide that would provide significant national or regional economic benefits. Project sponsors (a combination of states, local governments, and private entities) would apply to the bank for loans or loan guarantees to pay for their proposed project. To repay the loans, projects financed through the infrastructure bank would have to include tolls, taxes, or other dedicated revenue streams.
In principle, such a bank has advantages. It could identify and support large-scale projects that have substantial economic benefits for which users could be charged directly so that only a little federal assistance would be needed to cover the expected costs. In addition, a federal infrastructure bank could centralize—and, in some people's view, depoliticize—decision making about which projects receive federal funds by creating a competitive application and award process for those funds. It could also overcome certain barriers to the financing of multijurisdictional or multimodal projects.
But the number of projects that would be good candidates to receive a loan from a federal infrastructure bank as envisioned in recent proposals is probably limited, at least in the short term. Most current projects do not involve tolls or other mechanisms to collect funds directly from project users or other beneficiaries. Further, the support that would be offered by most proposed infrastructure banks would not differ substantially from the loans and loan guarantees already offered through an existing program run by the Department of Transportation.
This report was prepared by Sarah Puro of CBO's Budget Analysis Division.

The Tiptons Sax Quartet: The Shop Of Wild Dreams
The Shop Of Wild Dreams
The Tiptons Sax Quartet
Laws Of Motion (Zipa! Music and Spoot Music)
Amy Denio (alto sax, clarinet, voice), Jessica Lurie (alto sax, tenor sax, voice), Sue Orfield (tenor sax, voice), Tina Richerson (baritone sax, voice), Chris Stromquist (drums, percussion).
Composed by Jessica Lurie.
Recorded: Minneapolis, MN, April 23, 2008
Rating: 90/100 (learn more)
You'd think that a discussion about the music of this all-female answer to the World Saxophone Quartet would center on their individual and collective skills on various saxophones, and it's true that they've got the goods in that department. But they can sing the parts just as well, and do so without messing with the vibe.
The thematic statement of this song, built on four repeating chords, is moderately exotic in a Slavic kind of way and made even more so by Lurie's wordless vocals stating that theme. She's joined in harmony by Denio and filled out by Orfield and Richerson's horns. When the vocal duet become sax players, the completed front line brings out the full richness of the melody. After that and a fine alto sax solo, Lurie's resumes her vocalese and gets increasingly intense, going from a Louis Armstrong growl in one moment to hitting a Minnie Ripperton shrill note the next. The piece ends with the quartet putting down their horns to impart a beautifully layered four-part harmony.
"The Shop Of Wild Dreams" blurs the lines between blowing and singing. Either way, the Tiptons Sax Quartet gets the job done with flair.

Clutching and grabbing
Posted April 12, 2003 - 04:40 PM
Not saying the officials are the lone reason for the Wings being down 0-2 - Detroit's had chances they should have taken advantage of to put the Ducks away - but the calls have been uneven. It's a penalty to hook Kariya but not Datsyuk.
Posted April 13, 2003 - 09:18 AM
Oh boy, Ottawa vs. Minnesota, how exciting! I'll be sure to watch. Grrr. I thought they WANTED a big TV contract? Oh wait, I know, they can use some gimmicks! They can pick one unmarried hockey player from each game and have 25 single women from the arena compete for his affections during the intermission breaks! Why bother to create a decent base product when you can just spice it up with gimmicks???? Never mind that most people who actually understand the game would rather see Datsyuk and Zetterberg freak out the opponents with their passing, or see Darren McCarty beat the crap out of someone. Nope, it's all about the "entertainment" factor......
Some idiot at yesterday's game kept yelling "We want Dom!" He was very drunk and a lot bigger than me, so I refrained from asking him if that's what he was saying after Game 2 LAST year.
