Writing the Ceremony
By: Emily Howald Sefton | Posted: 10/28/2013
Your engagement photos are one of the first things you'll do with your soon-to-be bride or groom, so there's a tendency to fret (unnecessarily) about what to wear, where to shoot, and how the pictures will turn out. Here's my advice on prepping for your big shutterbug moment . . .
1. The first step in perfecting your engagement pictures is your photographer. Speak with him or her about your vision for the pictures (no to frolicking in the fields, yes to fun loving pictures where you seem at ease). View these shots as a test run for your wedding; you're both feeling each other out. He or she determines from these pictures what your tendencies are when you're in front of the camera, so he or she knows what to expect on your big day. Even if you don't plan to use engagement pictures for anything more than a stamp on your RSVP envelope, I still encourage couples to take them. They go a long way in making your wedding pictures even more perfect.
2. Bring pictures that you like to your photographer. Keep in mind, however, the style of the photographer that you hired. If you're looking for a photojournalistic approach and you hired a photographer that likes posed pictures, you may want to rethink the relationship.
3. Plan outfits that coordinate, but don't match. You want your pictures to say, "yeah, we look good together, but we're not cheesy," and outfits that are too perfectly coordinated a) often don't look like something one or the other of you would ordinarily wear and b) look like you're trying too hard. These pictures are supposed to look natural, so try to find colors that coordinate.
4. Be flexible. I went into our engagement photos with a clear plan of where I thought we should have our pictures taken, but then our photographer's creativity took over and we ended up in various places around town. Some locations where we ended up that I love are:
-Outside the I Like You store in Northeast
-The yellow room at the Guthrie
-By Red Stag Supper Club, there's a mural that says "Greetings from Minneapolis"
-There's a small bridge off of West River Parkway, just south of Plymouth Avenue.
-Any place of importance to you and your beau
5. Trust your photographer's vision. For some reason, our photographer desperately wanted me to wear a winter hat, so I threw one on at the end and I loved how it turned out. The fewer expectations you have, the better.
6. Try to forget about the camera. I'm a pretty smiley person and so is my husband, but the pictures I love best are when our photographer was able to capture a completely natural moment between the two of us. The sooner you forget that you're a subject, the better your images will be.
7. You can never kiss too often. It may feel awkward, but these are your engagement pictures . . . you guys are in love! Just go with it.
8. Remember, have fun! Even if the day feels long and exhausting, you will look back on these pictures for years to come and remember how happy and excited you were at this time in your life, so enjoy it.

Kenya Travel guide
Kenya : Michelin's recommendations
Kenya, the setting for Karen Blixen's novel Out of Africa (adapted for the cinema by Sydney Pollack), is full of unforgettable sights that will come to life as you travel through this East African country and explore its magnificent national parks. Enjoy a mythical journey with lions, buffalo, gazelles and leopards as your companions in its savannas, mangrove swamps, vast deserts and equatorial forests. And if you've always felt inspired by photo reports with great animal shots, why not take a dream safari in magnificent Amboseli National Park with the famous Mt. Kilimanjaro as a backdrop across the border in Tanzania.
Kenya is also a fantastic destination for seaside enthusiasts. Its East Coast on the Indian Ocean has heavenly beaches, like the one at Diani boasting long stretches of white sand and a seabed with transparent waters and coal reefs where multi-coloured fish swim to and fro in an underwater ballet. The coast also offers a prime opportunity for exploring Swahili culture and the country's crisscrossing civilisations in the old town of Lamu, on the UNESCO World Heritage List, in Mombasa and at the archaeological site of Gedi.
From its untamed landscapes teeming with magnificent wildlife to its awe-inspiring summits made for mountain climbing and a splendid coastline protected by a long barrier reef, Kenya offers a world of adventure that is just waiting you.

Cheney residents advised to contine conservation through rest of summer
August 7, 2014 | Vol. 118 -- No. 16
The extended streak of hot weather and recent severe storm-induced power outages led the city of Cheney to issue mandatory outdoor watering restrictions on Monday, Aug. 4.
Water usage for lawn irrigation systems and sprinklers was restricted for at least 48 hours, scheduled to resume at noon on Wednesday, Aug. 6.
Public Works director Todd Ableman said the power outage created by the severe storm July 23 was not too bad, but the storm Aug. 2 left wells 6 and 7 located along SR 904 toward Tyler without power for over 15 hours. Well 3 is also down for rehabilitation work that hopefully will r...

"Titanfall" was originally designed for the PC and Xbox One by Respawn Entertainment. That left Bluepoint Games the task of bringing the AAA shooter to the Xbox 360. A difficult task that was greatly aided by the fact that Microsoft's Azure cloud service network used on the other platforms as the developer's president explained in an interview Sunday.
Speaking with Eurogamer, Bluepoint Games president Andy O'Neill admitted that "you wouldn't even try to make this game using a standard peer-to-peer model." That means dedicated servers which are an expensive proposition.
"The server performance requirements for 'Titanfall' are pretty high, so you can't run peer-to-peer," O'Neill explained. "This also means you can't have a many virtual machines per physical server, meaning if you've got a popular game, then you're going to need a pretty big investment in server hardware."
Most Xbox 360 multiplayer games use the peer-to-peer model where one player serves as the host that other players connect to. That changed during the later years of the last-gen console as more games demanded the resources of dedicated servers. That led to the difficulty of making servers available when a title became popular.
"[U]sing Thunderhead actually makes a lot of sense as it allows pooled resources to spin up and down for a given title rather than having to figure out some way to get some ungodly amount of servers for a day one launch player spike," O'Reilly continued. "I think you'll see more interesting multiplayer games because of this but it'll take a while."
In addition to the dedicated servers handling "Titanfall" in a way that peer-to-peer games can't deal with, the cloud servers also manage the NPC Grunt AI as well as some of the monster AI on maps like Boneyards. However, Bluepoint had to make certain concessions such as dropping the number of Grunts that spawn in the Last Titan Standing mode and the number of flying beasts in the Boneyards map.

The Sarlink operation, including employees, technologies, compounding capabilities, and sales operations on three continents, has now become part of Teknor Apex's Thermoplastic Elastomer Division.. It will operate as a part of the larger group within the Company, supplying products under the Sarlink brand and ensuring continuity of service to users of Sarlink TPV compounds, said Teknor Apex vice president Suresh Swaminathan. At the same time, Swaminathan noted, the addition of the Sarlink business will expand the overall capability of Teknor Apex to serve as a single source for multiple compounds.
One example cited by Swaminathan involves the automotive industry, the largest market for Sarlink TPVs and one that Teknor Apex has long supplied with thermoplastic elastomer (TPE), vinyl, and nylon compounds. In the U.S., sales and support services for automotive manufacturers will be continue to be supported through an office in the Detroit area, at Rochester Hills, MI, while drawing on synergies between the various business units.
"The Sarlink acquisition makes Teknor Apex the most diversified independent compounder of TPEs, with eight generically different polyolefin, styrenic, and TPV chemistries and strong positions in automotive, consumer product, industrial, medical, wire and cable and packaging markets," Swaminathan said. "This broad capability enables us to recommend only the very best TPE formulation for a customer's application and a back it up with experienced technical and engineering support."
Rolf Schrauwen, Sarlink global marketing director, noted that the continuity for existing Sarlink customers will be seamless: "As part of Teknor Apex, we will provide exactly the same high level of product quality and service that our customers have come to expect," he said. "The people, the products, and the Sarlink brand will not change and the company will continue to manufacture and offer the complete Sarlink product range. The same expert manufacturing people will operate the same compounding lines, drawing on the same raw material sources, and applying the same quality systems to the same specifications."
Also expanded with the Sarlink addition is Teknor Apex's global reach. The company now produces TPEs at five sites in the U.S., two in Europe, and one in Singapore.
"The Sarlink product line brings a unique elastomer technology to Teknor Apex, unlike those of any other TPEs, including our own existing TPV products," said Sachin S. Sakhalkar, new business development manager for Teknor Apex. "Sarlink products exhibit exceptionally rubber-like properties yet provide the processing advantages of thermoplastics over rubber, including higher productivity, greater design freedom, and recyclability. Compared with most other widely used TPEs, Sarlink TPVs provide greater elasticity, resistance to flexural fatigue, stability at high temperatures, chemical resistance, and weatherability."
Sarlink TPVs have received approvals from automotive OEMs worldwide. They have also been used successfully in applications as diverse as wine corks, pipe seals, wire and cable, food containers, and other consumer and industrial applications .

COMPTON, Calif. -- Ralphs Grocery Co. here has adopted standardized coding for its bulk produce after holding off making the move for some time. "We thought the benefits would improve price integrity, front-end management and produce shrink," said Kerry Hodges, vice president of produce and floral for the 174-unit chain. Ralphs made the changeover Jan. 12. "At this point, it's gone very smoothly from the results we've seen," Hodges said. Hodges said support from top management, ...

Item box
this wiki
Item boxes are a reward from playing online quick matches or Co-op games. To receive an item box in-game, you'll need to help your team and receive experience. The item box is automatically opened after a successful completion of a game, win or lose. The item you get from an Item Box is associated to the class that you were using when you earned an Item Box during battle. If you want to collect gear for a particular class, make sure to start with that class when you begin a match.
There are five levels of item boxes, with each level increasing the value of the reward. As well as this, two types of item boxes are available per level:
- Blue (low tier)
- Red (high tier, usually gives 3 items) much less common than the blue box and much more likely to give low tier items
Level 1: Usually gained after building the first tower. It usually contains garbage/beginner items. (Blue: 10-20 exp, Red: 30-40 exp)
Level 2: Gives slightly better items than the level one box. (Blue: 80-100 exp, Red: 130-150 exp)
Level 3: Gives better items than the level one and two boxes, but isn't as good as a level 4 box. (Blue: 200-300 exp, Red: 300-400 exp)
Level 4: Has a chance of rewarding much better items than level 1,2, and 3 boxes. Level 4 boxes can give good items ranging from Premium items (marked with a star next to the weight), to garbage/beginner items that can be found in a level one box. (Blue: 400-500 exp, Red: 500-600 exp)
Level 5: Has a chance of rewarding much better items than level 1,2, and 3 boxes. Level 5 boxes can give good items ranging from Premium items (marked with a star next to the weight), to garbage/beginner items that can be found in a level one box (seen in the picture above). (Blue: 700+ exp, Red: 800+ exp)
Scores in all 3 categories, like killing, healing/support, and switching classes will level your box up more consistently than only killing. In co-op, this means playing a full game of 15 minutes.

Tim of USCCA seems to be out for money and not much else, despite what he claims. I joined for one year, dropped out, and finally about 2 years later, rarely get an email from him even after asking him to unsubscribe me.

"Big Brother" contestants are usually cut off from all news from the outside world, but in this case CBS made an exception. "Big Brother 16" Contestant Frankie Grande has received news that his grandfather passed away, and the sad moment was captured on the live TV feed, according to a report on Thursday by Us Weekly.
Grande, who, unbeknownst to his housemates is actually the half brother of pop superstar Ariana Grande, was given a letter from his family that detailed the news of the death of his beloved "Grandps." His famous sister even took to Twitter on Wednesday night to post: "Watching @frankiejgrande talk abt grandps after reading our letter on the live feed. Sobbing / laughing hysterically. love u frankie so much."
TMZ previously reported that the pop singer had planned to keep the news of her grandfather's death from her brother so he wouldn't be tempted to leave the "Big Brother" competition. The celebrity gossip site also revealed that one of the grandfather's last wishes was to keep his death a secret from his grandson, and he didn't want the family to pull him out of the "Big Brother" house.
But something clearly changed. Producers gave Frankie a note from his family on Wednesday night and he reportedly broke down in tears before sharing the news with the rest of the houseguests.
"Big Brother" rarely shares news from the outside world with its contestants, aside from periodic trivia games that give minor details about news events. The one exception was after the 9/11 attacks in 2001. That season, producers did tell the final three contestants about the tragic real life news, and contestant Monica Bailey learned that her cousin was missing and later died in one of the World Trade Center buildings.
"Big Brother" will be broadcast live tonight, so it's likely that host Julie Chen will mention the news of Grande's grandfather's death.
"Big Brother" airs tonight at 9:00 p.m. ET on CBS.

Story Highlights
- Nathan Shuler and Sintelle Kemper proved to be invaluable as the Conservancy moved into its new Kentucky headquarters during the Summer of 2013.
The Nature Conservancy of Kentucky's Summer 2013 Interns: Nathan Shuler and Sintelle Kemper
The Nature Conservancy of Kentucky is always glad to hire interns for two important reasons. First, they provide extra hands needed to advance our ambitious mission around the Bluegrass State. Interns also give our staff the chance to influence a new generation of conservationists! During Summer 2013, the Conservancy hosted two interns at the new Lexington headquarters: Nathan Shuler and Sintelle Kemper.
A native of nearby Versailles, Nathan Shuler spent the summer working at the Conservancy while preparing for his senior year at Centre College where he majors in economics.
"I started out at the University of Kentucky but craved the type of smaller setting provided at Centre College," says Shuler. "That is when I became interested and involved in environmental issues, eventually becoming President of the campus's Environmental Association and the University President's Climate Advisory Council. Working with the Conservancy has helped me to learn about these and other issues on a much deeper level."
In addition to helping with general office duties (including a big office move!), Nathan has dedicated time towards editing the chapter blog, researching potential partners for the Corporate Sustainability Council, and compiling a database to include information about local, state and federal grant opportunities.
In spite of Nathan's long to-do list, there is plenty of work left for Sintelle Kemper, a Lexington native who looks forward to her Junior year at Centre College where she majors in Biology. While with the Conservancy, Sintelle has focused on marketing and philanthropy by assisting with social media like Pinterest and Twitter, organizing photos, assembling presentations and streamlining the chapter's approach to events.
"I was surprised at how many hours go into just one canoe trip," says Kemper. "Learning about philanthropy in general opened my eyes to a whole new professional field. I didn't really know about this type of work and how much effort goes into raising money required to achieve the Conservancy's goals."
Shuler would agree, mentioning his increased respect for the Conservancy's reach. "I've listened in on webinars hosted by the national office and quickly realized that while vigilantly taking care of local landscapes like we see here in Kentucky, the Conservancy also employs its partnerships and scientific knowledge towards weighing in on environmental issues at an international level. The organization is really impressive."

Mesa's owner Raul Reyes is making waves in Oak Cliff again.
This time, he's bringing his flair for seafood to the Bishop Arts District with a new restaurant located at the intersection of Davis Street and Woodlawn Avenue, which used to be an auto shop called El Carrizal until a few months ago.

This morning I bring you good news from Oak Cliff. The former red-roofed taqueria at the corner of Bishop Avenue and Davis Street—once home to El Padrino until last winter—won't be bulldozed like we expected. Previously, observers speculated the taco shop would disappear after the Lombardi group withdrew its interest in the site. In May, we found out that Sarah Lombardi decided not to go forward with her plans to open a frozen custard and hot dog place with the land she leased.Read More
At The Local Oak, a new neighborhood hangout, you can get Texas Surfers—these sliders made with grilled Spam, house-made pineapple relish, and slaw. It's gutsy for a chef to bring Spam into Oak Cliff, but The Local Oak has some pros in the house. Chef Aaron Courtney just came from Nick and Sam's Steakhouse, and […]Read More
Plenty of my friends make brunch dates just as an excuse to have a mimosa. Or three. When I heard that Bishop Arts Winery is now serving breakfast, we decided to get our morning pick-me-ups there.

Brunching in the Bishop Arts District always sounds like a good idea, but it really isn't. I live only two blocks away, but the spectacle can be discouraging.

Someone's been tinkering with classic Tex-Mex. No need to panic, though; it's the Cuellars. After all, their role in defining the cuisine began when a young couple named Macario and Adelaida Cuellar emigrated to the cotton farms of North Texas from Nuevo Leon, Mexico in 1893. The couple had 12 children and—after opening a few cafes […]Read More
A sign announcing the opening of Waldron Lodge appeared overnight at 408 W. Seventh St., just around the corner from Bishop Street Market.

Whether or not the Minnesota Orchestra and The Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra resolve their respective contract disputes by the time you read this, there remains in our culture a big problem with classical music: No one knows how to get young people to like it. If the next generation of concertgoers doesn't start buying more tickets, CDs, and Osmo Vänskä bobblehead dolls, things are going to get ugly—or at least a lot less classical.
Since nothing else is working, here are a few ideas worth trying:
The surest way to get young people interested in classical music is to make it illegal. No one under 21 can listen to it, period. When they ask why, we can tell them that classical music alters human brain chemistry so profoundly that it can't be properly processed by the adolescent brain. Crazy things can happen when Mozart gets in your head, so regulation is the only responsible solution. Then make classical music 10 times as expensive as anything else on iTunes. Sales will soar.
To kids, watching an old guy in a tux dance around with a stick in his hand is gross and pathetic. Replacing conductors with a robot that shoots lasers would go a long way toward making conducting look modern and cool. If the lasers actually burned holes in the musicians' clothing, or seared their eyes out, so much the better.
During any given concert, a third of the orchestra is just sitting there doing nothing. The brass and percussion sections, especially, seem to have a lot of time on their hands. These musicians could use their time more wisely by texting with kids in the audience, commiserating about how boring it is to sit and do nothing while the strings and woodwinds do all the work.
If the classical community wants to capture the attention of boys, it needs to figure out ways to incorporate more gunfire and explosions. The 1812 Overture uses cannons, and that's a good start, but the range of explosive noises—from bottle rockets to concussion bombs—is woefully under-utilized in classical music. More cowbell won't do it; more firepower will.
For kids, sitting still and shutting up is physically painful. Kids need to move, which is why Orchestra Hall needs a mosh pit. Not a big one, just an area large enough for kids to smash into each other and draw a little blood.
Lots of classical music is very slow and sad. It reminds kids of church or driving to Fargo with grandma. Would it kill the orchestra to throw in a Justin Bieber song every now and then? Sure, some members of the orchestra might die a little inside, but the kids would never notice. They already think slowly dying is part of the show.

Young, local playwright, Schaeffer Nelson, explores Biblical legends and creates a provocative story with Biblical heroes, King Saul and David as subjects for his 2014 Fringe Festival entry, "Kings of Israel," to be presented at various times during the Kansas City Fringe Festival, July 17-28.
Nelson's show plays at Phosphor Studios, 1730 Broadway Blvd, Kansas City, MO 64108 with performances on: Friday, July 18 at 6 p.m.; Sunday, July 20 at 7:30 p.m.; Friday, July 25 at 9 p.m.; Saturday, July 26 at 7 p.m.
Nelson's original play, "Kings of Israel," premieres at Kansas City's 10th Annual Fringe Festival and tells a Biblical story with a queer sensibility that places the young shepherd David in a series of bedroom conversations with a violent, paranoid King Saul. In the play, David must test the limits of intimacy with a king whom he is secretly charged by God to overthrow, Nelson said. The boundary lines of love, violence, and trust must be crossed if David is to achieve his goal.
"I directed Schaeffer when he was a kid in a couple of my productions," Phil Kinen, local director, said. "He had a play that he asked me to look at and asked me to help coach him. Well, it was pretty remarkable from the onset and had even greater potential. His play, entitled 'Kings of Israel' is about the Old Testament's King Saul and King David's love affair. Now, it turns out, I am directing his play for the Fringe Festival. Another young actor that I work with, Will Fritz, is in the cast."
According to the info for the Fringe website: "Already, discussions of the play's content have stirred up tense conversations: Is it too queer for the Bible? Can Biblical stories be this steamy? One thing is for certain: You didn't see this version in Sunday school."
Kings of Israel stars Michael Hudgens as King Saul , J. Will Fritz as David, and Joshua Gleeson as the Prophet Samuel.
"Irreverently comedic and increasingly tense, 'Kings of Israel' retells the complex and dangerous relationship between King Saul and David, the first two kings of Biblical Israel," Nelson said about his play. "After King Saul proves to be unstable and violent, the Prophet Samuel secretly anoints an isolated young shepherd, David, to be Saul's usurper.
"Before David fulfills God's plan and assume the throne, he is dispatched to be Saul's private musician. Over the course of a series of bedroom conversations, the intimacy between the two men deepens. As bloody choices draw near, David questions where his loyalty to God ends and his relationship with King Saul begins.
"'Kings of Israel' takes the Biblical story in a provocative new direction. The play contains sexual content, violence, and adult language and is for mature audiences," Nelson added.
Schaeffer Nelson authored last year's original play, "OUTSpoken KC: Love and Marriage," that premiered in October 2013 at Unity Temple on the Plaza and received an encore performance in January 2014 at Peace Christian Church UCC. His short play "Fishers of Men" will also premiere at this summer's Fringe Festival, directed by Scott Cordes as part of "More 4 Play."

Peptide Drugs Are Not Only Diverse...
Diseases of the Eye That Cause...
Widespread Adoption of Biomarkers Has Been...
Scientific Misconduct Is Jeopardizing the Quality...
Kythera Biopharmaceuticals said it holds full global rights to develop and commercialize ATX-101, a late-stage clinical drug candidate designed to reduce double chins in people, after acquiring all rights outside the U.S. and Canada from Bayer Consumer Care in a deal worth up-to-$84 million.
Bayer will receive $33 million in Kythera common stock, plus a $51 million promissory note payable no later than 2024. Bayer is also eligible for long-term sales milestone payments on annual sales outside of the U.S. and Canada, Kythera said.
Through its Intendis unit (since renamed Bayer HealthCare), Bayer licensed U.S. and Canadian rights to ATX-101 in August 2010, in return for a $43 million upfront payment and up to $330 million tied to undisclosed development, manufacturing and commercialization milestones. Bayer also agreed to pay Kythera tiered double digit royalties based on net sales in Intendis' territories.
"While we believe ATX-101 will fulfill an unmet global need, Bayer's strategic focus has evolved since we licensed ATX-101 in 2010," Erica Mann, global president of Bayer HealthCare's Consumer Care Division, said in a statement. "Our decision to take an equity position in Kythera is a testament to our belief in the potential for ATX-101, and will allow us to participate in Kythera's future success."
A purified synthetic version of deoxycholic acid, ATX-101 is a first-in-class submental contouring injectable drug that has been the focus of a global clinical development program. The program has enrolled more than 2,500 patients worldwide over the past six years, of which more than 1,600 have been treated with the adipolytic agent. Kythera has reported positive and consistent results from multiple Phase III trials in the U.S. and Europe—on which the company will base its eventual regulatory submissions for approval of ATX-101.
"While our primary focus remains filing our U.S. New Drug Application in the second quarter of 2014, we also plan to make multiple ex-U.S. regulatory submissions in the next 12 months," added Keith Leonard, Kythera's president and CEO. "I am confident in our ability to maximize the long-term global value of ATX-101."
Seamus Fernandez, an analyst with Leerink Partners, wrote in a note to investors that the firm expects annual sales of ATX-101 to peak at $300 million or more once approvals are in place. He added that Kythera "may consider partnering" in China and Japan given the countries' usual requirement of additional clinical trials.
"The $84 [million] price tag for an international filing-ready Phase III asset with little to no near-term cash outlay leaves plenty of headroom for a successful US launch and several potential [outside-the-U.S.] approvals," Fernandez wrote. "[Kythera's] management team's global regulatory & commercial expertise provides substantial incremental leverage and country-by-country potential approvals bolster [Kythera's] 2015 catalysts beyond the U.S. filing."

2011 Compuware NHL Premiere
Hard summer has paid off for Zuccarello
Wednesday, 10.05.2011 / 10:30 AM
Shawn P. Roarke - NHL.com Senior Managing Editor
Mats Zuccarello
can't lie. His exit meeting with the Rangers at the end of last season was not a pleasant experience, to say the least.
Coach John Tortorella and his staff picked apart Zuccarello's game in a way that few before had. A star wherever he had played in Europe, Zuccarello now was hearing that he had huge holes in his game.
Just like that, one of Norway's biggest sporting stars was uncertain about his immediate future in the sport he loved. He was about to enter the final season of his contract with the club and the idea of spending another long winter in the American Hockey League was not an appealing one.
So, Zuccarello had a choice. He could ignore the entreaties of the coaching staff and bank on the world-class skill he's always possessed to hopefully gloss over the deficiencies in his game, or he could accept the pain caused by the critique from the coaching staff and address the symptoms causing the pain.
He chose the latter, taking a long, hard look at his game and what he wanted for his hockey future. Despite the insurance policy of fame and fortune in the form of an offer to play in the Swedish Elite League at any time, Zuccarello decided he wanted to put in the work to be a full-time NHL player.
"I was focused on making this team," Zuccarello told NHL.com. "That was my plan. I knew I could make this team if I just worked on those things that the team thought I should work on. That would give me the best possible chance to make the team.
"There are not a lot of players that get this chance, playing at the top level like this, so you don't want to waste it. If you go home (to play), you will regret it. I was just focused on making the team this year -- nothing else mattered."
So, work he did. He spent time with noted skating instructor Barb Underhill to refine his skating stride. He spent more time in the gym so he could be stronger on the puck. And he studied video to learn ways to be better away from the puck.
It's all paid off, as it appears he has made the Rangers' opening-night roster and could be in the lineup when the Rangers open the regular season Friday night at the Globe Arena against the
Los Angeles Kings
in a 2011 Compuware NHL Premiere game (1 p.m. ET, Versus, TSN).
It will be a homecoming of sorts for Zuccarello, who hails from nearby Norway and became a star while playing for MoDo in the SEL.
"Especially playing in Sweden, this almost feels like home," Zuccarello said. "I feel like I have been playing good the last couple of games. I'm just battling for my spot here and hopefully I can be on the ice Friday. I've been working hard all summer to get to this point and maybe play the opening night and have a lot of family and friends in the stands. It'll be pretty special."
If his dreams are fulfilled, it will not be a case of divine intervention -- just plain hard work.
Tortorella is a demanding taskmaster, for sure, but he's also fair. He was not overly impressed with Zuccarello's game last season, put off by the player's defensive liabilities -- which are a grave sin in Tortorella's system. Zuccarello spent a good portion of the season in the minors and saw limited time when he was in the NHL.
However, Tortorella has heaped praise upon Zuccarello in the preseason, often saying Zuccarello has been one of the best players in training camp and the team's intensive preseason schedule of games. He is impressed with the way in which Zuccarello has handled his second chance.
"He has certainly taken to heart the things we have asked him to work on," Tortorella said. "His skating has improved. He's certainly playing much better away from the puck.
"I just think he has grown up. He's very coachable. I think the way he handled himself last year, knowing that he wasn't ready, went down to the minors and played, played some with us, went back down to the minors; I think he has handled himself the right way in trying to become a better player. It really falls on his shoulders in accepting that responsibility and he has done that."
While Tortorella notes improvements have been made in so many areas, it is Zuccarello's play in his own end that has most impressed him. During Wednesday's practice, the coach and player were in the corner having an intense conversation during a drill.
"He was asking about defensive-zone coverage there," said Tortorella, using that episode as an example of what he is talking about in regard to Zuccarello's continuing evolution.
"For a coach to put a player on the ice more often, it's his play away from the puck (that matters)," Tortorella said. "He has improved that; I can see that in some of the (preseason) games he has played. I'm not getting in his way offensively. He's a good offensive player. It's the other part of the game, in a small building, that we wanted him to work at and he has."
The reward for all that hard work in the summer could lie little more than 48 hours away. If it doesn't happen -- if Zuccarello is one of the scratches Friday -- he is ready for that, as well. Last season's trials and tribulations and this summer's soul-searching have combined to prepare him for almost any eventuality on the hockey rink.
"I think everything that happened last year made me a stronger person and a better hockey player," Zuccarello said.
His coach agrees. And while he can't predict what the future holds for Zuccarello, Tortorella believes the sky is the limit after the work ethic the player showed.
"I'm hoping he stays with us and he produces for us," Tortorella said.

It seems like everywhere I go, someone is talking about how to protect the environment.
The Saturn car company is bragging about its assembly plant with zero landfill wastes and how good it is for the environment. This, of course, is easier to accomplish if you're only an assembler of cars and not involved in the raw production of their parts.
To say the least, I think the ad is misleading. But still it points out that as a country and an industry, we're all becoming more environmentally aware.
My laundry recently doubled the volume of linen it's processing, and we purchased a number of new linen carts. At the same time, we designated a few older carts that needed to be replaced because they were damaged and no longer looked appropriate for use.
The carts in question were made of fiberglass and polyurethane. I'm confident that neither of these materials would ever break down in a landfill. So, the question arose: What do we do with these old carts?
I contacted all of the manufacturers and distributors of polyurethane carts to see if any of them would take the materials back and reuse them. They all told me they didn't have a program to deal with old carts. They weren't prepared to deal with material that might be soiled, or have oil, grease, tape or paint on them. Old carts tend to be nasty and not very clean.
Because our industry uses so many of these carts, I became increasingly concerned about the eventual future of these materials. My dreams were filled with landfills overflowing with old, damaged carts. I just knew there had to be a good answer to this problem somewhere but I simply hadn't run across it.
I finally found the answer at the Association for Linen Management's Southeastern Educational Conference in Myrtle Beach, S.C. There are companies that recycle various forms of plastic that would be happy to take these damaged, unwanted plastic carts off my hands. What a relief it was to finally find the solution. I still need to find a solution for those old fiberglass carts, so I'll continue hunting.
We utilize a water-reuse system, and we recycle our plastic laundry bags, cardboard and paper products. We can now add to the list our ability to recycle old plastic carts.
We routinely recycle our old linens to either a rag company or to a charity organization that sends them to developing countries. We've even found a use for our old incontinent pads that our normal sources did not want: Animal shelters and veterinarians will gladly take them off our hands.
We're definitely becoming a "green" laundry. Now, if I can just find a good use for the lint we collect, then I'll have really closed the loop.
What Do You Do With Laundry's Leftovers?
It seems like everywhere I go, someone is talking about how to protect the environment.

The live "Man of Steel" disc promotional chat over at Yahoo! Movies was held this morning with Kevin Smith interviewing Zack Snyder, Henry Cavill, Michael Shannon and Amy Adams amongst others about the movie.
Zack Snyder did reveal some new concept artwork inspired by (not directly from) "Batman Vs. Superman" from artists Alex Pardee, Jonathan Wayshak and David Correia which he commissioned himself. The artwork can be won by fans who donate to the We Can Be Heroes charity.
In terms of actual news about "Batman vs. Superman", sadly there was none. A throwaway reference indicates Lex Luthor may be in the film, and Snyder would like Hans Zimmer back to compose, that's about it. Check out the artwork below, along with the full panel below.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Minority drug-resistant HIV-1 variants, undetected by conventional genotyping, may impair the outcome of antiretroviral therapy (ART). Thus, we retrospectively analyzed the prevalence of minority drug-resistant HIV-1 variants before ART in chronically HIV-1 infected patients initiating first-line therapy and assessed the impact on clinical outcome in the prospective German Truvada cohort. STUDY DESIGN: Samples from 146 antiretroviral treatment-naïve patients were collected between April 2005 and August 2006. K65R, K103N, and M184V variants at low frequencies were detected by allele-specific real-time PCR. RESULTS: Minority drug-resistant HIV-1 variants were detected in 20/146 patients (13.7%): the M184V mutation in 12/146 patients (8.2%), the K103N mutation in 8/146 patients (5.5%), and the K65R mutation in 4/146 patients (2.7%). Four patients with the M184V mutation also harbored the K65R or the K103N mutation. The 12- and 24 months virological efficacy data revealed that the rate of treatment failure was not increased in the group of patients harboring minority drug-resistant HIV-1 variants prior to ART. CONCLUSIONS: Minority drug-resistant HIV-1 variants can be frequently detected in treatment-naïve, chronically HIV-1 infected patients. Despite the presence of those mutations as minority variants before initiating ART, most of the patients were successfully treated.

Some Posekim write (Yalkut Yosef Hilchot Mayim Aharonim and Mishna Berura 181, 4 and IIRC the Magen Avraham) that Mayim Aharonim has Ruah Ra'a and that once someone used the water for Mayim Aharonim we shouldn't walk over it. Why aren't we allowed to walk over Ruah Ra'a?

Christian blogger Jeffrey Kranz has created something new in the world of Bible study and memorization. His smartphone-like icons simplify the text of each book of the Bible into a logo-like image. The images have been compared to a cross between an Apple iOS app and Christian sticker set. The app is free.
Kranz's set begins with the Pentateuch, or the Law, which are the first five books of the Bible. These books deal with the Law of Moses, Israel's beginnings, and the ancient agreement with God and His people. Genesis, which means the beginning, is the first book of the Bible. This is where a good deal of the Bible stories we know so well can be found, such as Noah's Ark, Cain and Abel, Joseph's coat, and Adam and Eve. In This icon you see one star, the representation of Israel, standing out from the others. God choose Abraham to begin a unique nation. The surrounding stars, twelve in number, signify the twelve tribes of Israel.
The Old and New Testaments are color-coded for easy reference. From Proverbs, to Psalms, to the Song of Solomon, the set seems quite complete with all 66 book of the Bible represented. Just click one of Bible icons to jump to a particular book of the Bible. Kranz says he created this app for "hard-core, Bible-loving, Bible-teaching brothers and sisters to use for blog posts, presentations, sermons, and course notes." They come in .png formats with a few sizes from which to choose. There are full-color or black-and-white options of each Bible icon, in each size.
On his blog, The Overview Bible Project, Kranz writes, "The written word is great, but we all know quick visuals would make it even easier to get the gist of the Bible's many books. So this one goes out to all the Sunday school teachers, OT-survey and NT-survey professors, and expository pastors who want a quick, high-level illustration of every book of the Bible."
