User reviews on Simon and the Oaks (Simon och ekarna)
This is a drama spanning the years 1939 to 1952 about two boys and their families. The film is directed by Lisa Ohlin and starring Bill Skarsgård, Helen Sjöholm and Jan Josef Liefers. I thought this film was alright but I do not think it is worth seeing in the theaters. The film looks great, it is well made and the acting is good but for some reason it never feels like a good movie and I am not sure why. I think that it lacks true emotions and it does not feel genuine. I did think that the film was very well performed and the actors did an amazing job. Overall, I think this film is better off watched at the comfort of your home.

This article deviates from my usual topic about vintage clothiers. I have decided to write an article that is more functional and useful to readers regarding business and professional attire. I came across this topic through some of my colleagues from law school; my fellow attorneys are hosting a fashion show for the Chicago Bar Association (CBA) this upcoming March. The point of their fashion show is to draw attention to the "do's and don'ts" of professional attire. Of course, the fashion show at the CBA is geared toward attorneys (I think I just took a shot at my own profession – laugh out loud).
Often forgotten, professionals not only need to be aware of the decisions that they are making at work, but professionals also need to be aware of the decisions they are making when getting ready for work. The clothes you wear can be a big deal and will leave an impression as to how a client or interviewer might perceive you; it is like that old saying about first impressions…
"You never get a second chance to make a first impression."
- Make sure that your clothes are ironed and pressed neatly; wrinkles are sloppy.
- Do not underestimate the power of a well-tailored and fitted suit. Hemlines are important. The right lengths for your suit sleeves and pants will not only flatter your body, but the right lengths will also make you look "put together." SIDE NOTE: Owning one "good" suit is essential, think… weddings, funerals, interviews, presentations, church, etc… You would rather have a fitted suit on hand then to be SOL.
- For those who are not fashion savvy, when wearing pants outfits, make sure your belt matches the color of your shoes.
- Men, do not wear white socks with dress pants.
- Women, be modest with your heel height. Stilettos can be appropriate but think about minimizing platforms or anything that can be considered "too sexy."
- Shoe polish can go a long way.
- Anything too revealing is absolutely inappropriate.
- Make sure that you have an appropriate, clean haircut. For men, well-groomed facial hair is a must.
- For men and women, clean fingernails are often over-looked. If you do not have the time or money to get manicures, bust out the file and buffer on your own time. Chances are you will be shaking hands at work, and no one wants to touch someone who has dirty, crusty fingernails or dry, scaly hands.
- Tattoos should generally be tucked away. Tattoos of course are not a bad thing, but in a professional setting you do not want anything distracting clients or potential interviewers.
- For women, lighter, natural make-up is preferable. Work is not a nightclub or a time to experiment with any products that are too "loud." SIDE NOTE: Eyeliner is not essential and can sometimes bring out facial wrinkles and crows feet. Eyeliner can also make your face look "harsh." Again, softer, natural tones are preferable.
- Women, wear appropriate undergarments; this will give you smooth lines on your backside and support where you need it (for those who are chesty). And… underwear is exactly what it says it is – UNDER*WEAR, it is worn UNDER your clothes, not to be seen; this includes panties (I hate that word), brassieres, and any other lingerie.
- PANTYHOSE… I am not a huge fan of pantyhose, but there are times when it is appropriate. There are also times when it is functional, i.e.) living in the Midwest pantyhose can keep you a little warmer while sprucing up an outfit. There are a lot of cute patterns for tights and pantyhose that are workplace-friendly; USE YOUR BETTER JUDGMENT.
And for those who do not want to conform, remember you are still yourself underneath the clothes. A unique piece of jewelry, cuff links, a scarf, or even some quirky, fashionable socks are often appropriate if worn in moderation. There's always room to add a personal touch.
At the end of the day, you are marketing yourself. Chances are you have worked hard to become a professional, and you have worked hard to network and make a name for yourself. So don't allow yourself to be overlooked simply because of your attire. Sadly, it does happen and it is hard to change a first impression.
Take care of yourself and take charge of your life. Making a few changes in your morning routine or stopping at the dry cleaners every once in awhile will make a difference. I can promise you that with the help of a few guidelines or reminders, you will be 100% more confident, and that is key to a successful professional.

Ojai, Calif. - The top-seeded UCLA men's tennis team earned the right to play in the Pac-12 Championship match for the second year in a row on Friday, as the Bruins downed Stanford, 4-0 in a semifinal showdown at Libbey Park in downtown Ojai. UCLA (23-1) now awaits the winner of Friday's late match, featuring second-seeded USC and No. 4 Cal.
UCLA jumped on the Cardinal from the start, claiming the doubles point with a pair of dominating wins at court Nos. 2 and 3. After Dennis Mkrtchian and Clay Thompson downed Jamin Ball and Daniel Ho, 8-1 at the No. 3 spot, UCLA claimed the point when Alex Brigham and Karue Sell posted an 8-3 win over Maciek Romanowicz and Robert Stineman at court No. 2.
Already with a 1-0 lead, UCLA would go on to win the first set on five of six courts in singles action. First to finish was court No. 5, where Sell lost just one game in a 6-1, 6-0 victory over Ho. The Bruins then went ahead 3-0 following a 6-2, 6-4 victory by 18th-ranked Marcos Giron, who beat No. 117 Nolan Paige at court No. 2.
The clinching point for UCLA came at the No. 4 spot, where 116th-ranked Clay Thompson was a 6-2, 6-0 winner over Stineman.
Bruin No. 1 Dennis Novikov was on the verge of winning his match when play was suspended, as he led John Morrissey, 6-4, 5-2. In addition, Mkrtchian was up a set over Romanowicz at court No. 3, and Maxime Tabatruong split sets with Denis Lin at court No. 6.
UCLA's 4-0 win on Friday marked the Bruins' third win over Stanford this season.

Captain Tsubasa: Saikyou no Teki! Holland Youth Movie Anime Online
Anime Captain Tsubasa: Saikyou no Teki! Holland Youth Movie
3.44 (9 Votes)
Summary:The last Captain Tsubasa movie is about the match between Japan and Holland. After the Japanese team lost two games against this apparently supreme opponent, their confidence is at its lowest point and even Hyuga, having a hurt leg, is desperate. Thus the management tries everything to convince Wakabayashi (living in Germany) and Tsubasa (living in Brazil) to come to Holland and to help them, but both deny. Only in the second half of the third game Tsubasa appears and joins the team, giving them back their confidence and strength. With Tsubasa Ozora as their captain again, the last game ends 11:1 for Japan. More

Homemade Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups
Login to add to your Recipe Box
Upload Your Photo
- approx 1 1/2 cups dark chocolate, chopped (or dark chocolate chips)
- 1/2 cup creamy organic/natural peanut butter
- 1/2 cup crunchy organic/natural peanut butter
- 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
- generous pinch salt
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions:Set 2-dozen mini muffin/bonbon wrappers on a baking sheet.
Melt approximately half of the dark chocolate, using a microwave-safe bowl and cooking it in short (30 second) intervals, stirring frequently, until smooth. Use a spoon to pour a little chocolate into each muffin wrapper. Use a small, very clean brush to paint the chocolate up the sides of each wrapper. Alternatively, you could add extra chocolate and swirl it around, pouring out the excess later, to coat the inside of the wrapper.
Chill candy shells until set, about 20-30 minutes.
In a small bowl, whisk together peanut butter(s), confectioners' sugar, salt and vanilla. When the mixture has come together, heat it in the microwave (again in short intervals, stirring frequently), until it is very, very soft. Working carefully with the hot filling, transfer it to a pastry bag (or plastic bag with the tip cut off) and pipe a generous amount of the filling into each prepared candy cup. Chill again for approx 30 minutes, or until set.
Melt all remaining chocolate and, when the candy fillings have set, fill each muffin wrapper up with chocolate. Chill until set.
Serve cold or at room temperature.
Makes 2 dozen.

Considering the current failure mode when a snapshot becomes 'full' (that is, when I run out of space to remap changed blocks the snapshot becomes corrupted) this is the only way I currently feel comfortable using LVM snapshots at all, so personally, I think snapshots that did not persist through reboots would be quite useful.

AUSTRALIA will pledge $10 million in aid to war-ravaged Somalia.
Foreign Minister Julie Bishop says $2 million will be given to support the African Union Mission to Somalia (AMISOM) to combat terrorism, while a further $8 million will be granted for humanitarian efforts such as water access and medical care.
Ms Bishop said enhancing Somalia's stability was in Australia's national interest.
"It will help combat terrorism, improve stability in the Indian Ocean Rim and reduce piracy along important trading routes for Australia," she said in a statement on Monday.

Frey, Bruno S (2010). Withering Academia? Working paper series / Institute for Empirical Research in Economics No. 512, University of Zurich.
Strong forces lead to a withering of academia as it exists today. The major causal forces are the rankings mania, increased division of labor in research, intense publication pressure, academic fraud, dilution of the concept of "university", and inadequate organizational forms for modern research. Academia, in a broader sense understood as "the locus of seeking truth and learning through methodological inquiry," will subsist in different forms. The conclusion is therefore pessimistic with respect to the academic system as it presently exists but not to scholarly endeavour as such. However, the transformation predicted is expected to be fundamental.

So, in an effort to do my normal deal where I protect the innocent, I will not name the restaurant in question. Though throughout this article, you WILL figure it out. Now...lunch time article, let's do it.
So I decided to meet up with a good friend of mine who was dining to go get some salad and bread sticks...and an entree at this fair establishment. I figured why not, something new, should be useful for my commentary...oh, how useful it is. So we get there and decided, why the Hell not, a bar stool. Things start off rather well except for this bartender...his name is not relevant, but for the purposes of this article and not writing bartender over and over, let's call him Bob. Bob, who is probably a great guy outside of work seemed a bit out of depth in his work. Especially the random up to 5-7 minutes of disappearances he did during the one hour we were there.
Once we finally receive our food, the food my friend got was...well...not all that up to par. Which, you know, happens. Her experience of the food is not the purpose of this article, but the manner in which things were handled because of it. I have a lot of pet peeves and one is not being prepared to handle your customer. This was lunch, not 11am lunch, 1:15 lunch, I am sure he was awake, just didn't really care to be there or really care about what he was doing. After she let Bob know about the food, he was nice enough about it, but then blatantly bashed the food itself stating he sends it back all the time and that he wishes he could just tell me what to order and not order.
Ok, Ok, Ok...I understand letting out steam. But that steam is directed to your co-workers and closest friends. Not to two total strangers and loud enough for other patrons to look on. It sets a bad example for yourself. When it was check time, that was his longest "Break"...10 minutes in which a manager actually started doing a spot check around because he saw no servers and bartender in sight...not exactly what a boss wants to see. Finally he returned and cashed us out in short order. Also, even though they were waiting for a seat in the main dinning room, I am never a fan of any bartender allowing a child, young child at that, to sit right at the bar top. It just does not visually look right to me at all and I sure a legality might be involved in not allowing either, but I am no lawyer.
In short, I know my evening of bar stops isn't done for the day, but I figured I get this one out now and maybe one later. You never know. It's always an interesting view from the bar stool. Follow me on twitter, @ransting. It's fun.

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. - Swapping stories about the good old days and creating new friendships are on the weekend agenda for former University of Alabama basketball standout Derrick McKey.
"It's always good to see the guys and, for me, meeting guys who I've probably never met before, guys who were here way back in the day," said McKey, who played for the Crimson Tide from 1984 to 1987, earning All-America honors his final season. "I think it's good sometimes to meet those guys who were here before us, who kind of paved the way and made it just a little bit easier for us. Hopefully, we did the same for some of those guys who came behind us."
McKey is in Tuscaloosa this weekend to watch the Crimson Tide's Southeastern Conference tussle with Georgia on Saturday, which marks the conclusion of the 2012-13 regular season, and participate in a special celebration for the 100 years of basketball at Alabama. Festivities include a halftime ceremony, presented by Alabama Power and Legacy Credit Union, which is scheduled to include recognition for more than 100 former Tide players, coaches and staff. It won't be hard to spot someone who played a special part in the rich history of basketball at the Capstone.
The group of honorees include players and coaches from several different eras, including legendary former head coach C.M. Newton. Others expected to be in attendance include teammates Leon Marlaire and Jack Kubiszyn, who were part of the fabled `Rocket 8' teams in the 1950s, and Mike Nordholz, a three-time All-SEC selection, who played for the Tide from 1966 to 1968. The list also includes legendary All-America big men Wendell Hudson and Leon Douglas, standout forward Eddie Phillips and NBA veterans like McKey, Ennis Whatley, Buck Johnson and Jim Farmer. And that's just the start of what will be a special day at Coleman Coliseum.
A few of the former players, along with Newton, met with media members on Friday afternoon. Whatley was asked if he could throw together an alumni team that could challenge this year's Tide team, which is trying to position itself for a second consecutive NCAA Tournament appearance. Whatley smiled when he heard the question.
"I don't know if we could beat them, they're quick and fast," said Whatley, who turned 50 on his most recent birthday. "For a quarter, I know we could give them a little knowledge. Watching Trevor (Lacey) and all the guys, they got a lot of good talent. I remember hearing Michael Jordan say on his 50th birthday, `I think that time has passed a little bit.'"
What hasn't gone away, however, is the memories of some very special times in Tuscaloosa for all the former players and coaches in town to celebrate a special anniversary. Newton said some of his most cherished memories during his time in Tuscaloosa included bringing Hudson in as the first black scholarship athlete at the university and winning three consecutive SEC regular season championships from 1973 to 1976. Whatley said he'll never forget beating Kentucky in the 1982 SEC Tournament Championship Game at Rupp Arena and an emotional victory top-ranked UCLA just two days after Coach Paul `Bear' Bryant's death.
Those are just a few memories that will be shared this weekend but the conversation won't solely be about what happened on the basketball court.
"I think it will be a mixture," Johnson said. "We won't forget the days we played and that's going to come up. I think it will be more about life outside of basketball, although we will talk about the current season and what's coming up. I'm sure we'll talk about where we go from here and how we can help. I know a number of the guys I talk to are willing to help as much as they can."
Less than 700 tickets remain for Saturday's season finale. Fans can purchase tickets by logging onto Rolltide.com/tickets. Every fan in attendance will receive a one-of-a-kind 100 years of Alabama basketball commermorative poster.

Even though the location was not permanent, the exhibition of the works of art was significantly meaningful. As if the sublime cultural values through the medium of the art encouraged the artists to work harder and reach glory as the past time of Buleleng. They might not leave the tradition, but remained to make creativity in appropriate with the passage of time. At least, it was delivered in the art exhibition entitled 'Magnifier' in the Buleleng Festival (Bulfest) 2013. There were at least 42 works by 17 artists living in Buleleng showcasing their works in the official residence of the Buleleng Regent transformed in the venue of the Bulfest. The whole works were in the form of graphics, glass painting, realistic painting and surrealistic paintings. "This exhibition does not determine the school of painters, so that the whole work can be accommodated, without having to be restricted to particular painting schools," said the Exhibition Coordinator, Wayan Sudiarta.
Sudiarta then pointed out the works of Ketut Santosa remaining to focus on the traditional style, namely on glass painting. His works were exhibited with the works of several other artists such as Tini Wahyuni whose style tended to be surrealistic. Such painting works were made by painter group coalesced into the Buleleng Artists Group (KPB) whose presence was to accommodate the artists of the Northern Bali. Meanwhile, most other works were made by the artists who had been and were still studying in the Fine Arts Department, Ganesha Education University (Undiksha) of Singaraja.
Aside from the two artists mentioned above, added the lecturer at the Fine Arts of the Undiksha, there were also several other artists getting involved. Among others, they were Nyoman Suma Argawa, N. Arnawa, Pande Gede Supada, Nyoman Polenk Rediasa, I Gede Willy Hima, Wayan Sudiarta, Ketut Samudrawan, Made Ariana, Komang Suaka, Made Karma Weda, Made Hardika, Ketut Adi Sandiasa, Nyoman Nuyasa, Made Suwismaya and Ari Sudarma.

Novice 8+ Wins At Head Of The Connecticut
Oct. 16, 2011
MIDDLETOWN, Conn. - The UMass rowing team raced on the Connecticut River this Sunday, October 16 at the Head of the Connecticut. Only two UMass boats got the chance to race due to weather, but each met success this weekend.
The Novices showed their abilities again this week, coming in first in a field of four, consisting of boats from Trinity College, Wesleyan College, and Atlantic 10 rival Fordham. The UMass team, lead by coxswain Isabel Feldman, came in first place with a time of 18:49.73, a full eight seconds ahead of the Fordham boat.
Coming in second place was the UMass pair boat with Junior Kaitlyn MacKenzie and Senior Katelyn Allocco. They finished with a time of 10:22:06.15, just 0.12 seconds behind the winning boat.
The Annual Pumpkin Head Regatta, a race for all walk-on Novices, was set to go off on Sunday as well but had to be cancelled due to weather.
The Minutewomen will race again next Saturday and Sunday, October 22 and 23 at the prestigious Head of the Charles Regatta in Boston, Mass.

Other members of Devo were brothers Mark and Bob Mothersbaugh and Alan Myers.
Their music was often classified as New Wave and Robotic Rock.
Fans often refer to Bob Casale as Bob 2 because he played by the side of the other Bob(Mothersbaugh) in the group.

ND likely to use multiple backs Saturday
NOTRE DAME — Four weeks into the season, Notre Dame doesn't have an established, every-down running back.
In fact, the Irish may not have one all year — or ever again.
Head coach Brian Kelly thinks the days of a single, staple figure in the offensive backfield are gone, referencing two-back systems that were successful at Alabama, Georgia and other SEC schools last year.
"I think across the country, that singular back, that one guy, has not been able to fit all the things that you want to do offensively," Kelly said. "I think the position has now required a guy that is multidimensional and it's better to find that maybe in two or three different backs."
Two or three? Try five.
It's been a five-man juggling act for Notre Dame in its first three games, starring George Atkinson, Amir Carlisle and Cam McDaniel, with freshmen Greg Bryant and Tarean Folston in supporting roles.
Speed and experience gave Atkinson the preseason edge, but Carlisle and McDaniel have proved to be the workhorses up the middle.
Carlisle's 45-yard dash against Temple and hard running against a staunch Michigan front seven made him a clear favorite for the rest of the season. After Saturday, several supporters jumped on the McDaniel bandwagon after the junior's gutsy, gritty performance against Purdue. Carlisle, meanwhile, finished with 1.5 yards per carry on 11 runs.
The truth is, Kelly won't likely single out just Atkinson or Carlisle or McDaniel. It'll be a mix of all three, with a dash of both freshmen.
"We'll continue to see it weektoweek," Kelly said. "Next week, maybe we'll talk about somebody else. We just think we have got a lot of guys that can contribute, and they are all going to have roles. I don't know that we are going to have one guy that we put up there and say, he's the guy. You know, I think they are all going to contribute in some fashion."
With Michigan State — Notre Dame's third consecutive Big Ten opponent — up next, Kelly can see all five backs playing a role in what he calls another physical matchup against the 3-0 Spartans.
Michigan State brings the top-ranked defense in the country to Notre Dame (2-1) on Saturday, Sept. 21. The Spartans allowed an average of 50.3 rushing yards (No. 4 in the country), 126.7 passing yards (No. 5) and 177 total offensive yards (No. 1) in wins over Central Michigan, South Florida and Youngstown State.
Though Notre Dame has faced an arguably more talented opening slate (Temple, Michigan and Purdue), Kelly says the Irish knows what to expect from a Mark Dantonio-coached team.
"Our kids have played in the game and a lot of them have played in it," Kelly said. "They know the kind of game it is. So it's not like I have to stand in front of them and get them ready for this fight. They know what kind of fight it's going to be. This isn't, you know, 'Hey, guys, please listen to me this week.' They know what they are going to get from Michigan State."

College Hockey:Boston University's Trivino arrested, booted permanently from team
Boston University senior and Hockey East leading goal scorer Corey Trivino was arrested Sunday night (Dec. 11) and charged with three counts of indecent assault and battery after he allegedly entered the room of a female student and attempted to kiss and grope her, according to a report in BU Today.
Trivino, also charged with two counts of breaking and entering in the nighttime and one count of assault with attempt to rape, is no longer a member of the hockey team, head coach Jack Parker said in the article.
Trivino, a Toronto native, pleaded not guilty to all charges at his arraignment Monday in Brighton District Court. Judge David T. Donnelly set bail at $25,000 or surrender of Trivino's Canadian passport and ordered Trivino to leave his dorm room by 3 p.m. Monday.
"This will be a big hole to fill," said Parker in the report. "And there's an emotional hole, also."
The article further stated Trivino may attend classes until he is officially suspended or expelled.
Back in May 2010, Trivino was suspended for an alcohol-related incident before the Hockey East semifinals and missed time at the start of the 2010-11 season.
Trivino had 13 goals and 17 points in 15 games this season and ends his Terriers' career with 73 points in 112 games. He was also drafted by the New York Islanders in 2008.

As great a retort as "Your stupid" is (with the improper use of the word Your – thank you Milky for pointing that out), lets try to keep these posts more, shall I say, sophisticated. There are many other synonyms we could use here. Such as: Dopey, foolish, thick-skulled, loggerheaded, witless or yokel-like (no offense to the Yokels out there).

look at last years top scorer in the nation… Matt Frattin from UND, he was arrested for a DUI, lost his scholarship and was kicked off the team. He went home and turned his life around, and walked back on to the Sioux progrom. He could have went pro he was already drafted… but he did the right thing.
It looks like this guy doesn't have a chance no matter what since he is a senior (refer to (Gjug's post below)
- WCHA Fan
At least BU did the right thing. Frattin should have never been allowed back on the team. There are a few MTU players UND might want to pick up as well…
- http://twitter.com/Butterz07 Aaron G.
really for a DUI? big deal, more players are kicked off the gopher squad than the sioux squad in the last 20 years or most teams for that matter
- WCHA Fan
My point exactly. They kick them off! These kids are privileged to be representing a college or university at this level and should act as such. Good for BU and the Gophers too. Winning is important, but not the most important thing.
- Scott Reed
The world of college and professional sports would be non existant if DUI's got them kicked out… what precedence is there to not have let him back on?

Speaking of behaving as if you've been there before…. is that what you guys tell Hakstol about winning an NCAA championship? Since, you know, he never has?
- nogofer
And Coach Woog leads all UND coaches in games suspended (re 1996). So what is your point? That you won a title using a North Dakota product, or using a skater from Europe? I guess your MN-only boys just could not quite do it. OK, Hakstol flipped off a camera, once. I saw numerous F bombs from tDon Lucy saturday. Yeah, mn pride on ice…

Hakstol has never won a NC at North Dakota? Hmmm?? Think about that for just a minute pal.
- jmsptrk
Coach Hakstol took over UND in 2004-2005. When did they win their last NCAA championship? Oh, right… the 1999-2000 season. And when was he an associate coach under Blais? Oh right, starting in the 2000-2001 season… the year AFTER they won their last title. (North Dakota has a picture of their 1999-2000 championship team on their website, and guess who is conspicuously absent? Hakstol). AND, even as a player…. he was there from 1989 to 1992… during a ten year drought of championships. So think about that for just a minute… pal.

Lol. Nogofer you are an idiot. The article has nothing to do with Minnesota and you steer the conversation to the Gophers. Your screen name even has Gopher in it. You like all others ND fans are obsessed with Minnesota and have a serious inferiority complex. I've never seen fans trash talk a team after they were just swept until this year. It's okay for us to be excited about our team after 4 years of mediocrity. Trust me we've been here before.
- nogofer
YOU liked a comment about a transfer to ND, I was responding. 7 > 5 does not create an inferiority complex. More regular season championships (15 to 12) does not create an inferiority complex.

It's fascinating to have the Economy of a state with 670,000 people compared to that of a state with over 5 million. I'm glad you're parents could afford to send you away from the farm to get your education. Your attempt to belittle a University with 5 NCAA Championships, 32 NCAA tournament appearances and 19 Frozen Four appearances is laughable… and Hakstol has done a terrific job of keeping the proud tradition going with all those championships this century.

Because the Gophers are finally standing up for themselves. When players take runs at the likes of Kyle Rau and Jake Hansen, then our 6'2″+ talented skater/enforcers are going to take exception and protect them. The last 5 min was to Helgeson and he was protecting Hansen who had just been run and in response to a 5 min high stick to Kyle Rau. I would expect any team to respond in this fashion. I say keep bringing it to the Gophers. They have some big Sophomores this year…they will protect their team.
- nogofer
I watched rau embellish the high-stick. I watched hansen cross-check in the offensive zone as he creates space to score. I watched lucia cuss so badly his ancestors are blushing. Minnesota pride on ice?
- Slambammy
I was at the game. Third row, clear view. If holding your hand to your face is embellishing then you best not wipe your nose. They all cross check, its part of hockey. Taking a run at someone is going to get you a retaliation. Lucia was angry at the Asst Coach from MTU who was trash talking over the boards. Again…even the coaches are standing up for the team. I wish Potulny would have decked that asst coach.
- nogofer
If that is the view of reality you prefer, so be it. The truth is on the tape, view it and weep… Even the announcers (and I use that term rather than cheerleaders behind the mic) commented on rau's embellishment, their words, not mine… gofer goons…
- FightingSioux4Ever
Isn't Potulny from, wait, yes it's Grand Forks? Now, I'm not bashing Grant at all, I think he was a great college player and is a better coach. It's a little ironic, don't you think?
Does Goldy know his team is ranked #2 in the nation? The real question here is which crappy hockey team are you cheering for – NoDak or SCSU??

What happened to innocent until proven guilty in our country? I am not defending him I don't know anymore about the situation than what is written above, but I hate the way sports punishes people just because of unproven allogations.
- http://twitter.com/Lia_Bia Lia B
The rest of us hate that sports covers up/ignores serious allegations most of the time. I'm sure it's part of the team rules that you can't be arrested for a number of things and stay part of the team. something you sign up for as a player… or a student at a university for that matter.
- Scott Reed
I'm not saying he is innocent, in fact I think he is guilty and agree he should be kicked off the team. I don't know if I would generalize in a serious discussion like we have been doing… I mean ignores/covers up most of the time is probably a little too far…
I know people who have been wrongfully arrested, no questions 100% innocent. If they were part of an organization that had a rule against being arrested, should they be punished because someone else lied? More than likely it is a morality clause in the contract that leaves a lot to be interpreted by whoever is doing the punishing.
Also for the record, if any of my children grow up and say "Daddy I want to be like______ when I get bigger" and you insert any professional athleate's name in there… I would probably gorund them for a year. Obviously there are some exceptions, none are from the NBA though.
Off my soapbox now…
- WCHA Fan
Can't believe I actually agree with you here. Just to add a note, wrongfully arrested happens. Wrongfully charged with a crime is very rare. We'll see how quick any charges come. My guess, very quickly.
Add most players from the NFL to that list as well…
- Scott Reed
I totally agree, the ethics and morals in professional sports are horrible. Then the media plays to the lowest level of ethics and morals in the rest of society… and we wonder why our children are growing up the way they are. People hate Tim Tebow… why? we should all try to be more like him and the good that he does, not look for flaws in him to discredit everything about him.
- Sandman7733
You make a very, very good point. I agree with you, however, I think most of it comes from the notion that is always seems that those who are in high profile areas (sports, entertainment) always appear to get off easy, or in some cases, get away with it all together. It seems to be a double edged sword, so to speak.
The media LOVES to go by the adage of "guilty until proven innocent."
- ibanezist00
Can't believe I agree with you on something here. There is a first time for everything :D
- Bender
It's really weird that he's getting charged for breaking and entering a dorm at BU when in all likelihood the door to the apartment was unlocked. A large population of students at BU leave their doors unlocked so friends can stop by. Also, from the BU Today article, it would appear that Trivino left on his own after the girl insisted that he leave. I mean where is the intent to rape if he left on his own free will instead of being dragged out of there by the cops?
I'm definitely not saying what he did was right, but I do believe he's being over prosecuted.
- Beeeej
"Breaking and entering" doesn't mean actually shattering a lock mechanism to enter. The slightest amount of force – even pushing a door so that it opens – is illegal if you don't have authorization to enter.
- LMDubbs
If a robber comes to your house while you are home and the door is unlocked, starts taking your stuff, but you ask him to leave and he does, he still attempted to rob you and was trespassing… That said, he hasn't been proven guilty yet, and there isn't a grand jury assessment of the case floating around with strong evidence that he did anything, so their reaction to this may be premature…
- Bender
Just read the Boston Hockey Blog article and I change my mind about how I feel about this. After reading how he repeatedly returned I now think the outraged reactions are much more understandable. I had previously thought the incident occurred once and he left as soon as the girl insisted that she did not want him there. If this had been the case I would have thought getting the police involved would be overkill. Obviously I did not have all the information, but now that I do, I agree that the matter is very serious and disciplinary action should be taken upon conviction.
- Guest
Bender, I just read the article. Pretty sad story! I dont think anybody has the right to poke and make fun at this kid… Made some (4) poor decisions with the most costly and sounds like most disturbing one on Sunday nite, now you just have the pray the kid can come back and turn himself into the person he IS without the "booze".
No. In that case he actually robbed you.

- Hockey East for life
Really?!? You shouldn't throw stones if you live in a glass house. The Maine hockey program was a complete disgrace under Shawn Walsh for many years. They were a disgrace to college hockey. Cheating was the norm…ineligible players and felons were the norm. Do you remember Brendan Walsh? Kicked off the BU team for drinking & bad behavior & Maine welcomed him with open arms? Guess it's ok for the almighty Maine. What's the one-way street you Maine fans live on, anyway?
- Anonymous
As for Shawn, when all was said and done the NCAA in the Jeff Torrey matter said Maine did nothing wrong.This was never brought out much at that time so virtually there is no more truth to it. As for Brendan, he got in no trouble at Maine, his only complaint was he disliked Parker and he knew Parker disliked Maine so as he said, it was the only place to go.

They booted him off the team right away usually means there have been numerous prior incidents that the public never found out about.
Typical Jack Parker "We've a big hole to fill" no regard for the victims. he's no better than Joepa
- BUlly
The thing is, it's been well reported that Trivino has had previous suspensions, so it's not really a surprise. And to be fair to Jack Parker, he did talk about the victim several times. For you to compare him to Joe Paterno is at best disingenuous and at worst moronic homerism. I now there's no litmus test or IQ evaluation before posting on this forum, but I'm still surprised at the level of stupidity that reigns on this board.

None of these players who do this kind of crap like the several UND players in the past and this guy should get a second chance. The scholarships should be given to people who need financial help in order to attend university.
- FightingSioux4Ever
The several UND players? Must be nice to live in a fairy world where once something is written it's true. Back up your statement with facts or SHUT THE HELL UP! Your claim is liveless and derogatory, Why don't you take a trip to Grand Forks and get a first hand look at the campus and its students. You might think twice about making stupid, childish remarks in the future.
- Suckitgoophs
Yep, those gooph players are just well behaving kids as well. I remember the bar in Dinkytown being shut down for a week or two because they served the entire gooph team. But hey, they were of legal age, right? Yeah, they would never do anything that would get them in trouble……….

There does seem to be an advantage to really standing out in the desert. Maybe because the flowers don't last long in that heat.

Yesterday, Zack Snyder took to Twitter and teased the reveal of the new Batmobile in Batman vs. Superman, but it turns out he had more surprises in store. Today he's not only given us the first look at the Batmobile, he's also delivered the first shot of Ben Affleck in costume!
Snyder tweeted: "I shot this with my @Leica_Camera M Monochrom. #Batman #Batmobile #Gotham"
Right away, the first thing that stuck out to me is that this is a stockier Batman with the smaller ears on the mask, just as in The Dark Knight Returns. Makes sense considering that is the story David Goyer and Snyder are loosely basing the film on. As for the Batmobile, it's definitely not like the Tumbler used in Christopher Nolan's movies.
So what do you think? Batman vs. Superman opens on May 6th 2016.

Do you suffer from TV guilt? While you know that using your television as a substitute babysitter is an incredibly effective way to get dinner cooked, your mommy conscience tells you that TV should be used sparingly.
What if your kids watched television that actually helped them learn: a program that increases intraneural connections and their vocabulary? Just like magic, the TV guilt seems to disappear (or at least dissipate).
Signing Time is an amazing product that is new on the Canadian market. A series of videos designed for baby to school aged audiences (mom and dad need to pay attention too), Signing Time is fun and educational at the same time.
Produced south of the border by a family with special needs children, Signing Time brings American Sign Language (ASL) to the masses with a total of 21 DVDs (more than 600 signs) complimented by books, flashcards and music CDs.
ASL is an entirely visual combination of hand gestures and body language. Learning ASL is akin to learning another spoken language. Just watch your kids' sponge-like brain soak it up. The result for many children is earlier literacy and improved fine motor skills.
Oh, and did we mention that toddlers who can sign have fewer tantrums?
Signing Time videos are available in Canada through The Signing Store. Calgary entrepreneur and mom to 2 signing teenagers, Tricia Davies is a trained audiologist with a special interest in ASL. She saw the value and quality of the Signing Time series early on and has worked hard to promote ASL as a certified second language.
The Signing Store provides gift wrapping services and home delivery to anywhere in Canada for a flat $8. The signing products make unique baby and Santa gifts.
Tricia Davies also hosts workshops and classes for babies, toddlers and preschoolers including a Level 2 class for kids who may have started signing as infants and would like to learn more. You can register for the upcoming Level 2 class (October 22nd at the Varsity Community Centre) on the Signing Store website.
Wash away that TV guilt. Click on the DVD player and cook dinner in peace. Just make sure you can see the screen as well because you will want to understand when Jack tells you he has to go to the bathroom.

In reply to:
EduardoJB: This is exactly what happens when a restyling of a car model in imminent. Now with the X-Pro 1, something had to be done to keep selling the X100. Good Luck Fuji. BTW, I own an X100 and an X-10, so this is not a derogatory comment, but it seems to me that it will be harder for Fuji to sell the X100 from now on, and the lack of a 35mm (equivalent) in the three first lenses for the X-Pro seems to be part of the strategy too.
They also have a different price, the X-Pro 1 being substantially more expensive

Marc McDonald: It Doesn't End Here
It Doesn't End Here
Marc McDonald (alto sax)
It Doesn't End Here (No End In Sight Records NEIS 1016)
Marc McDonald (alto sax),
Jim Ridl (piano), Steve Cardenas (guitar), Karl Spicer (bass), Gene Lewin (drums).
Composed by Marc McDonald.
Recorded: Brooklyn, NY, 2008
Rating: 90/100 (learn more)
When I receive a new CD for review, I usually listen to the entire disc to choose what I think would be the best representative cut to write about. I use my own criteria for this. More often than not I choose a tune that in some way sets itself apart from the others. This is the contrarian in me, though I do think this gives listeners a better idea of the scope of the music. Other times I just select the best performance. This album was an exception. I listened to the first tune only. It was clear to me that "It Doesn't End Here" deserved my immediate attention. It is a wonderful composition played beautifully. I didn't have to hear anything else to judge how good McDonald and his crew were.
After years in the business, saxophonist Marc McDonald now offers his debut album as a leader. His playing style is in the more powerful undertows of the mainstream, influenced a bit by outside cultures and a bop sensibility. For the title cut, McDonald wrote a simple melody. Sometimes simple is best. It is catchy from the start. Particularly effective is Steve Cardenas's guitar. His tone has a hint of Pat Metheny, though his lines are less esoteric. Saxophonist, guitarist and pianist take solo turns, each making the most of a melody that offers much. Even the best compositions need proper follow-through. When given riches you still need to know what to do with them lest they be squandered. This is music I would stay for the second set for. And the third… It is my guess it doesn't end here.
Reviewer's Note: I will listen to the rest of the album. I have already started in fact. It continues to be good.

Paris Roberts-Campbell
Sept. 29, 2013
The East Carolina Men's Basketball team will begin official preparations for the 2013-14 season on Monday, Sept. 30, when the team takes the floor for the first official practice of the upcoming season inside the Smith-Williams Center.
Previously, men's basketball practice began the Friday closest to Oct. 15. Following an April rule change, the NCAA now allows teams to have 30 days of practice in the 42 days before their first regular-season game. Previously, teams were given 30 days, with 24 practices.
ECU Head Coach Jeff Lebo will begin his fourth season at the helm with just seven returning lettermen, including only one returning starter, as the Pirates play their final season in Conference USA before joining the American Athletic Conference next year.
A year ago, Lebo relied on an experience laden team with four seniors to lead the Pirates to a school-record 23 victories en route to the 2013 CIT championship. He also directed ECU to its first top 4 C-USA finish with a school-best nine league victories, while leading it to eight additional wins over the previous season. Lebo has won more games, 56, in his first three seasons than any other coach in the 81-year history of ECU basketball.
This year he will rely on a roster than features only two players that averaged over 20 minutes per game last season.
Junior Paris Roberts-Campbell, the Pirates' lone returning starter, averaged 25.6 minutes per game and made 30 starts. He ranks second among all returnees in scoring (5.6 ppg), 3-point field goal percentage (.362) and 3-point field goals made (42) behind senior Akeem Richmond.
Richmond, the only returning Pirate to average double figures (10.6 ppg) last season, stroked the nets for an ECU record 105 made 3-pointer field goals, ranking 16th in the nation with 3.0 3-pointers per game. Combined with his two years at Rhode Island, Richmond has made 269 3-pointers which ranks second among all active players for the 2013-14 season. He came off the bench to average 20.6 minutes per game.
Freshmen Greg Alexander, Brandan Stith and Caleb White along with Louisburg College transfer Antonio Robinson are the newest members of the active roster. Additional transfers Keith Armstrong (Robert Morris), Michel-Ofik Nzege (Winston-Salem State) and Terry Whisnant (Florida State) will practice with the team, but are not eligible to compete until the 2014-15 season.
The Pirates open the regular season on Nov. 8 against North Carolina Wesleyan in the first of a 16-game home schedule which also features UNC Wilmington, Georgia State, Old Dominion, Charlotte and UTEP.
Season Tickets are available for purchase online at the ECU Online Ticket Center or by calling (252.737.4500) or stopping by the ECU Athletic Ticket Office located in Old Pirate Club Building behind Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium. It is open Monday through Friday, from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m.

Compact pocket scales for the precision measurement of jewelry, precious metals and other delicate objects. These highly accurate scales have a very sensitive weighing platform and feature a counting function for 25pcs, 50pcs, 75pcs and 100pcs.
by CanisLobo007
on 11/13/2012
This scale is the most sensitive, and repeatably accurate weight measuring devise one can get for the money. It truly measures down to 0.01 gram increments. In the grains mode, one's own breath can change the measured results. Purchase two AAA batteries. The swing open clear polycarbonate face cover has a spring loaded latch which does not function as designed - it does not click closed. The storage case it comes with is a bit tight for constant rapid use. There are four attached rubber foot pads, which do function well for stability. Last, it should be shipped in a padded box, rather than bubble envelope, due to the G-shock it can encounter, according to manufacturers recommendations.

Last week's article discussed the fun of venturing out on the trail for some summer time on horseback. While guided rides and outback tours on seasoned, well-practiced horses can be extremely relaxing, taking one's own horse into unexplored territory – if that horse is not particularly experienced with trail excursions – can be a little more exciting than many of us would prefer.
So how do you become a more confident trail rider and help your horse feel comfortable with such adventurous outings?
Going outside of your usual setting for a brief and entirely relaxed trip is the only way to start out. Beginning your excursions away from home with very short and non-demanding experiences will help ensure that you personally remain cool and calm, and also reduce the chance that your horse will become too rattled by the new sights and scents.
At home you can first introduce, thoughtfully, new stimulus. Accustom the horse to tarps, water on the ground, trees and branches if possible, the sound of a crackling water bottle or his rider removing or putting on a jacket. Watch one of the helpful trail riding DVDs for more ideas on how to ready your horse and prepare yourself. Parelli Natural Horsemanship has an excellent series of helpful how-to information!
If you don't have a lot of friends who are trail riding experts, take some lessons. Seek out instructors who can lead you out on a few short trail sessions so you can get comfortable. Take baby steps if you need to. A brief walk down a local trail will eventually lead to a longer trek on less urban terrain.
You may also want to have a trainer help with your horse. Many riders feel far more confident climbing aboard a horse that has already been introduced to the trail. Cliff Tipton of Flying T Acres, located in nearby Erda (out west in Tooele County) is a respected expert who does wonders with gentling wild horses and getting any horse used to outdoor adventure. His wife, successful endurance rider Janet Tipton, partners with wonderful Cliff-trained horses on her many miles of outback rides and races.
Riding lessons and professional training for your horse are priceless investments that will go a long way to enhance your safety as well as your long-term enjoyment of your equine partners.
If others do accompany you, make absolutely sure that the handler and their horse are experienced, confident and that their presence does nothing but add to the positive impression you want to impart upon your horse. Horses, being herd animals, will take cues from the other equines in their group. Two (or more) green horses can easily become quite panicked.
Your first few outings should be in a peaceful setting, with a short and easy trail (avoid too-steep hills or challenging terrain) that is unlikely to impose too much fear-inducing stimulus on the horse. If you feel yourself becoming unduly tense for any reason or get the feeling that your horse is getting a little out of control, it's okay to get off. The last thing you want to deal with is a run-away, bolting, bucking, rearing, reactive, terrified animal in a strange and uncomfortable environment. The Parellis, expert horsemen who've been riding and training far longer than most of us, remind us that there's never any shame in just getting off the horse and working to regain their composure from the ground.
Don't be in a hurry to pressure yourself or your horse to take on more than you're realistically ready to tackle. If you've never been on a successful one mile ride, don't expect to enjoy a five mile ride right out of the gate.
Surrounding yourself with other riders who have far more experience and whose older horses take everything in stride will help build your own confidence and instill an easy-going sense of calm in your new-to-the-trail horse.
Patience and proper practice are the keys to building on your abilities and giving your horse the experience he needs to turn into a steady, reliable mount.
Trail riding can be oh so fun and exciting once you and your horses gain the confidence to get out there, explore and enjoy!

Even though I have fond memories of the 1980s fad for painted denim jackets, I never owned one myself, to the best of my recollection. I don't know why. Maybe I couldn't decide which band I wanted painted on the back? I was equally devoted to the Beatles and Duran Duran.
I did have a standard Levi's-style jacket in 1984 (I bet it was by Guess though!). Here I am wearing it with my favorite neon-pink Guess top on the first day of my senior year of high school.
I then upgraded to an oversize jacket that I thought was much more stylish and "New Wave." As you can see in this photo, I was still devoted to the pink Guess top (with a matching skinny scarf) and popped jacket collar.
If you look closely, you can see that I'm wearing the pink rhinestone heart earrings that I still own and previously posted here.
By 1985, I had switched from blonde bangs to dyed-black hair, but I kept the New Wave jacket. In the photo below, you can glimpse one of my favorite shirts under it. It was a long button-down with a cartoon pattern that I wore over leggings or Guess ankle-zip jeans.
The next photo isn't very good quality, but you can see the shape and size of the jacket. It reminds me of my oversize leather motorcycle jacket from the same era.
When I found these photos, I said to gorgeous designer/stylist Stacy Lomman, "I loved that jacket soooo much. I wish I still had it." She took one look and said, "I'm glad you don't." Ha!

You are too cute, I have Shihtzu that looks like ur pup. I luv ur denim & ur customized one espec.
Question: how does ur anti-spam pick such fabu words or do u have a special setting??
I think someone should do an evolution of the denim jacket over the years. I keep having to buy new ones to stay modern (current one is a Current/Elliott cropped, ha), and I know I've dumped a number over the years. Fairly sure I've got at least 5 now, from skinny to oversize to white to destroyed to $$ (this one, but I wear it all the time).
I love your hair in these. I just had long boring hair in the 80s, product of going to a liberal Ivy League.
I was just chatting to my high school friend about how lucky I feel that bulky was in for our younger years!! I am so glad I got to wear giant polo tops, huge mom jeans and cable knit sweaters! Even the shoes were huge. I remember my fav outfit was a denim shirt under a kelly green sweater (denim cuffs rolled up over the sweater and DEFINITELY pop the collar out) with more denim on my bottom half and concrete heavy boots. I transitioned to tighter clothes when I wanted to, not back when I was a psycho self conscious drama teen. Thank you, 80's and 90's!!
I also just bought a denim jacket! I really like the one you're wearing in the first photo…and all the '80s hair.
Hi there! Gorgeous pictures and I love both the denim jackets, you would have rocked the 2nd one this time round too!!
Aw, did I say that? You're so cute in these pix! Love the highlights!

2.6.28 takes shape
Linus Torvalds released 2.6.28-rc1 and closed the merge window on October 23. So we can now see what will be in the 2.6.28 kernel. Once again, it looks like an active development cycle with a lot of new stuff for Linux users.
Memory management patches are notorious for taking a long time to get into the kernel. So it is not surprising that Rik van Riel's scalability patches were years in the making. That code has been merged now; it should improve performance on any system with heavy memory loads. Also merged was Nick Piggin's vmap rewrite which makes things run quite a bit quicker on multiprocessor systems.
Every development cycle brings in dozens of new device drivers, and 2.6.28 is no exception. One thing that is a bit different this time around is the inclusion of Greg Kroah-Hartman's staging tree into the mainline. This tree contains device drivers that, for one reason or another, are not considered to be up to the usual quality standards for kernel code. They have been merged because it has been observed, over and over again, that code in the mainline tree improves much more quickly than out-of-tree code. Some of the staging tree drivers have been under development for years without getting up to a reasonable quality level; once in the mainline, some of them, at least, will improve radically over the next few months.
Ultrawideband is a GHz-range radio protocol which can be used for networking, or for number of other applications. One of those is wireless USB - connecting USB devices without the actual wire. 2.6.28 will have support for both ultrawideband and wireless USB. Much of this work was done at Intel, so, naturally, most of the supported devices tend to be made by Intel as well.
The 2008 Kernel Summit, held in September, decided that one of the first steps toward better tracing was the creation of a low-level interface for getting tracing data out to user space. 2.6.28 will have the new trace buffer code, along with a number of other tracing-related improvements.
The "ext4dev" filesystem is now called ext4. The removal of the "dev" suffix is the developers' way of saying that this filesystem is stabilizing and getting close to ready for production use. I expect the developers to say that it's truly ready sometime in the next couple of development cycles - in the first half of next year. Meanwhile, the next-generation btrfs filesystem has been queued into linux-next and will probably be merged into the mainline for 2.6.29 - though it will not be production-ready for some time after that.
In some ways, the most promising addition for 2.6.28 is the Graphics Execution Manager, a low-level memory-management module for graphics processors. The addition of GEM marks the beginning of the end of the long process of bringing Linux graphics into the present age. With luck, in-kernel mode setting will be merged for 2.6.29 and the job will be close to done - at least, for graphical chipsets made by cooperative vendors.
There is a lot more than that in 2.6.28, of course; it's hard to describe over 7,000 changes in a single post. But those are the highlights. Now it comes down to the long task of stabilizing all of those changes for a solid 2.6.28 release, which will probably happen in January, 2009.
