The power of mentoring
By Lamont Bagby, Fairfield District Representative, Henrico School Board 02/23/11
Dear Henrico Business Leaders,
Daily, the number of school age children who are without the direct supervision of responsible adults after school is growing to alarming proportions. In the absence of such supervision, children are empowered to make choices and decisions that have significant impacts on their growth and development.
While some students are able to make positive choices, many of their peers do not demonstrate the same capacity and are subject to conditions and situations that stagnate their success and has the potential to significantly impact them later in life. Teen pregnancy, juvenile delinquency, and drop out rates are increasing at overwhelming proportions. Many youth today do not have the benefit of actively engaged parents; therefore, teachers, school counselors and coaches are charged with additional responsibilities that focus on meeting the growing, non-academic needs of the child.
As a teacher and coach at Henrico High School, I served as sponsor of the Distinguished Gentlemen Mentorship Program. The program afforded me a unique opportunity to introduce a group of thirty male students to the virtues of community service and school spirit. Not only were much-needed academic supports put in place but students were also provided with caring redirection to encourage their tendency to make positive choices and to refrain from making poor decisions. It was at that moment that I realized our students care less about how much we know and more about how much we care.
There are innovative, unique models of mentoring opportunities being created which allow students to gain invaluable insights to leadership development. One such program is the leadership initiative created by President Barack Obama, First Lady Michelle Obama and senior White House Administration staff. The initiative gives forty young men and women an opportunity to develop relationships with them and grants access to the leadership of the administration.
The First Lady said, "I always wanted to be a bridge between kids like me and the possibilities that can propel them to greatness." This is precisely the spirit of bold action-steps that we would like to take in concert with the business community of Henrico County. I am confident that there are many individuals who you currently employ who have the same burning desire to serve in a capacity that motivates and uplifts our youth. Now is the time to afford these socially conscious, tax-paying members of our community the opportunity to fulfill their civic responsibility.
I understand the demands inherent in our long workdays and the plethora of obligations that fill our evenings with commitments to our families and organizations. So, I thought of other ways to seek your involvement that are just as critical to our programs' success. Henrico County has several mentorship programs that simply need funding. One-to-one mentorship programs have proven to be highly beneficial and are the most effective means of impacting a child's life, but there are significant challenges associated with finding the number of qualified mentors to support the programs. However, group initiatives have proven to be beneficial and do not require as much time.
It is critical for us to collaborate with the business community in our ongoing efforts to increase opportunities for our youth. I am grateful that my colleagues on the school board have responded favorably to providing funding for group mentorship efforts. Caring and committed teachers and coaches have submitted proposals that they feel are most beneficial to the youth we serve. The proposals illustrate that our staff has a true interest in increasing mentorship opportunities. While the board was able to support these programs in the 2009-10 budget, it was our hope that the funding would be seed money to illustrate a commitment to the initiative. If you are interested in investing in our future, then I invite you to support our mentorship initiatives.

In my setup points are as follows
Exact: 6 points
Draw: 4 points
Win: 3 points
Bonis points: 1 each
For Brazil-Chile, a user predicted 2:2 and 4:3 in penalties. He got 4 points only as somebody who predicted 2:1 (after 90 minutes).
Is the calculation correct? i thought the first user would 4 points for the draw plus 3 points for the winner plus 1 bonus point for the goal difference during penalties.

A slight hint of plumage color by emmilWatch
©2012-2016 emmil
hello there baby
Aww~! Adorable. I hope s/he continues to be healthy and lives a long, happy life.
Are you trying to kill me with all the cuteness!?! lol I just want to kiss its huge nose!
Hehehe, I bet you kiss your bird everyday!
Several times a day! I just say "Kiss kiss", and I usually get wet, slobbery kisses (she uses a lot of tongue)! And sometimes I just hold her and kiss her face repeatedly and she'll close her eyes and stay very still ... almost as if she's saying, "Okay ma, get it out of your system!" When I finish, she slobbers all over me to return the favor. lol Life is good.
Birds' tongues are never wet like dogs', are they??
Technically, no ... but my vet said that some parrot species (such as lovies) can "store" a bit of regurgitated liquid in their throats as a sort of lubricant at times when they eat. So, it isn't saliva but throw up ... which is really disgusting now that I think about it! lol
How cute! I am happy to see that he (she?) is growing happy and healthy!
Do you think that this bird will let you hold him/her when he/she's gronw up, considering that he/she is growing so close to you?

I do hope so. ^^
I only check it for a few seconds everyday until it's 1 month old.
It lives with its parents now.

he's adorable.
AWWWW, would ya look at that widdle face and the small feathers ^^ so cute! btw how do you succeed to tame the birds?
the parents are semi-tamed, means that they won't let me hold them if they don't get cornered. But they will come and take the seeds from my fingers. I only have 1 tamed bird, Pippin. The rest 4 adults are semi tamed. As for the baby, at this age, it can't refuse anyone who wants to touch/hold it. It can't walk yet.
okeydokey, mine are just plain wild, they won't let me come too close to the cage but if I stand maybe 40 centimeters away they come and sit on a nearby stick. Just watching... Aww that little one gonna be a very nice bird when adult ^^ and pretty tamed too if you hold him much, but doesn't the parents get annoyed by you picking up their lil baby?
This is the cutest age!
Eeeep! I'm so happy he had a strong enough spirit and good parents to survive. Can't wait to see him all grown up with feathers. <33
Me too. few days more till I upload the next pic and video.
You can check her current video on utub. ^^

BMI View : The series of recent defaults by Chinese solar giants - Suntech Power Holdings and LDK Solar - will have significant ramifications on both the Chinese and global solar equipment manufacturing sector. Both were counted amongst the largest solar manufacturers in the world just years before, but negative supply-demand dynamics and sizeable debt burdens led to their demise. We believe that the symptoms present in Suntech and LDK prior to their respective defaults are also present in several other Chinese manufacturers, putting them at risk of experiencing similar fates. As such, US-based First Solar's positive margins and small debt load put the company in a relatively favourable position on the global solar scene as compared to its Chinese peers.
Prior to their defaults, Suntech Power Holdings and LDK Solar were counted amongst the largest solar manufacturers in the world, but negative supply-demand dynamics and sizeable debt burdens led to their demise. At present, we expect further contraction and consolidation in the industry, and have identified several key metrics to help us analyse the short- and medium-term outlooks for some of the larger solar manufacturers still in the industry.
Several Chinese solar equipment manufacturers remain at the top of the table in terms of module shipments, such as Yingli Green Energy, Trina Solar, and Jinko Solar. However, many of these firms are displaying the same symptoms that were present in Suntech and LDK prior to their respective defaults. For instance, revenues for Yingli, Trina, and Jinko have remained relatively flat over the last two years, and all three companies have booked net losses consistently for the last seven quarters. Suntech and LDK were in a similar predicament prior to their defaults.
|Not A Positive Picture
|Solar Manufacturers - Revenue, US$ (LHS); Net Income, US$ (RHS)
More worryingly, Chinese solar manufacturers appear to have taken on sizeable amounts of debt despite a lack of revenue growth and consecutive net losses. Debt-to-equity levels in all three major Chinese manufacturers are also relatively high. In fact, Yingli's debt-to-equity ratio was 367x in Q412 (July - September 2012), comparable to Suntech's ratio prior to the default.
|Yingli Treading A Thin Line
|Solar Manufacturers - Total Debt, US$ (LHS); Debt-To-Equity Ratio, x (RHS)
Short-Term Outlook
We believe that the short-term outlook for Trina is the most promising among Chinese solar manufacturers. This is because the single largest threat to Chinese solar manufacturers at present appears to be a loan or bond default. The Chinese government has shown itself to be unwilling to provide financial assistance to the sector and we believe that Trina Solar is in a better position to cover its current liabilities than its peers ( see our online service, April 18 2013, 'LDK: The Demise Of Another Giant?'). At the end of Q412, Trina Solar had a relatively healthy quick ratio of 0.81x, compared to 0.45x for Yingli and Jinko (a quick ratio below 1 indicates that the company will not be able to repay all its current liabilities using cash or near-cash assets).
Canadian Solar appears to be in a similar predicament to Yingli and Jinko. We believe this is due to the company's decision to base most of its operations and production in China. The company's fiscal position appears much more aligned with Chinese manufacturers than other Northern American manufacturers, despite having its roots in Canada. In fact, Canadian Solar appears to be extremely susceptible to short-term credit risks with a quick ratio of just 0.25x at the end of Q412.
|First Solar Leading The Pack
|Solar Manufacturers - Quick Ratio, x
At present, we believe that US-based First Solar has the most stable short-term outlook among the major solar manufacturers globally. The company had a healthy quick ratio of 1.4x at the end of Q412, as well as one of the highest gross margins in the sector (27.3% in Q412). The company also reported positive net income over the last five quarters, indicating the healthiness of its margins compared to the Chinese manufacturers.
|Margins Under Pressure
|Solar Manufacturers - Gross Margin, %
We believe that the market conditions for Chinese manufacturers could improve over the course of 2013. This is because of the Chinese government's ambitious plan to install 10,000MW of solar capacity within the year, equivalent to three times the capacity installed in 2012. This is particularly beneficial to Chinese solar manufacturers, and we have already witnessed the sharp increase in the amount of solar modules being sold domestically, a move that we had previously called for ( see 'New Solar Plant In Tibet: The First Of Many', April 20 2012). To be sure, domestic sales for the three major Chinese solar manufacturers in 2012 accounted for around 13-20% of total sales, up from under 5% just four years ago.
That said, we highlight that the effects of any increase in domestic sales for Chinese manufacturers could be offset by a loss of sales and profits from Europe (which accounts for more than half of total sales for Trina, Yingli, Jingko) later this year. This is because the EU could impose anti-dumping and anti-subsidy duties on Chinese solar panels for up to five years starting this year. A preliminary decision regarding anti-dumping duties and countervailing levies will be reached by June and August respectively, and a final decision will be passed in December. The EU already ordered its custom officials to register imports of Chinese solar panels starting from March, and would allow the trade bloc to track and impose duties retroactively.
We also highlight that the Japanese solar industry is set to grow tremendously this year, and that the increase in installations should benefit all the major solar players, particularly Sharp.
Medium- To Long-Term Outlook
We believe that the medium- to long-term outlook for the leaders in the global solar manufacturing industry will be greatly affected by sales growth, margins, and debt repayment. Based on these factors, we believe that Yingli and Trina could experience major hurdles due to sizeable debt repayments in 2014 and 2015.
|Trina: Major Repayment In 2015
|Solar Manufacturers - Debt Repayment Schedule (Bonds And Term Loans), US$mn
Trina, in particular, inked a deal with China Development Bank in 2010 for a loan facility of up to CNY30bn (US$4.4bn). This expires in 2015. In our opinion, the company's rapid capacity expansion and history of losses suggests that a sizeable portion of the facility might have been drawn down. The repayment of this credit facility could be a potential stumbling block for the company. Yingli also has a bond issue of US$357mn and a term loan of US$250mn expiring in 2015, and could experience some difficulties in repaying this loan should its income remain negative.
Additionally, we believe that manufacturers with a greater sales and distribution presence in China such as would be in a strong growth position than others - namely Jinko and Yingli. This is because of the government has set out to install 21GW of solar capacity by 2015, and we believe this target could be revised up further based on its plan to install 10GW in 2013 alone.
|Domestic Sales Increasingly Important
|Chinese Solar Manufacturers: Domestic Sales, US$ (LHS); Domestic Sales As A % Of Total Sales, % (RHS)
First Solar Favoured
Overall, we believe that First Solar is in the strongest strategic position. The company's margins are positive and its debt load is relatively small, both of which are extremely promising signs. We believe that Jinko could perform as well, should it be able to increase its sales in China and globally.

The Seymour Plan Commission will meet Thursday to decide whether a local builder can expand an existing housing addition.
Leslie Lake & Country Club developer Wally Pfaffenberger is seeking approval to add 18 lots for single-family homes to the Hoevener Addition, located off County Road 975E.
The plan would complete Section III, Phase 2, of the project and would bring the number of lots in the development to nearly 90. The homes would be similar to those already built and would be in the $130,000 to $150,000 price range.

After a three-way battle that turned into a two-way war, Ryan Tannehill is your Miami Dolphins starting quarterback for the 2012 season.
Tannehill's performance this preseason wasn't impressive statistically, however he made good decisions and showed great poise and leadership.
But that's in the preseason. The question is, what's he going to do in the regular season? What will the Dolphins do if (actually when) he struggles?
The answer is simple: Tannehill must start at least the first 14 games of the season. The only exception is if he gets hurt.
By naming Tannehill the starter, Miami has committed to the future. While you could bench an ineffective David Garrard or Matt Moore after the first eight games, you can't do that with Tannehill.
The original plan for Miami was likely to start Garrard and see where it went. If Garrard did well and Miami was in contention, they would keep riding his wave. Once they were eliminated (or Garrard proved to be ineffective), then Tannehill would come in.
This can't be the case with Tannehill. You can't yank a rookie quarterback in and out of the lineup if you feel he's ineffective.
This is a team that on the offensive side of the ball lacks talent. While there's trust that the running game will be effective, there are questions that linger with the passing game. Because of this Tannehill will struggle. He will have bad games.
While a lot of fans will knee-jerk and proclaim Tannehill as a bust, this won't be the case—just look at the rookie seasons of Peyton Manning, Troy Aikman, John Elway and Steve Young.
Not only do each of those quarterbacks have Super Bowl rings and busts in Canton (Peyton obviously doesn't have one yet but will), but they struggled during their first season. They each threw more interceptions than touchdowns, missed out on the playoffs and had to go through some tough growing pains. Injuries were the only reasons any of those quarterbacks missed games that initial season.
Tannehill needs that same treatment. Will it be rough for him? Yes, but the only way for Miami to know what they have at the position in the long-term is to let him ride out those rough patches and gauge how he's able to bounce back from them.

Dr. Chamberlain, a resident of Williamstown for the last 26 years, is credited with leading the growth of the school from a teachers' college to a multipurpose institution from 1969 to 1984.
"Mark was a wonderful and caring man and visionary leader who helped position the university for the growth and change it has enjoyed in recent years," said Rowan president Ali A. Houshmand. "We all owe Dr. Chamberlain our deepest gratitude for his service to our university."

Useful in every way
I use this to study and reference facts for med school, for years now, and it keeps me on top of everything I've learned. Also great for journaling and lists, but it's such a robust app it can do so much more. You can even send your notes to other people by email as a PDF, RIGHT FROM THE APP!!
This app was always highly functional, thanks to snappy writing/editing and seamless sync across devices. Then new photo and video insertion options upped the ante, with well-executed whiteboard reading within photos. Now, with this new interface, notes are more attractive and quick to jump into.
Great job, Microsoft's OneNote team!! This app is the answer anybody who wishes to write into their iDevice.
Best app in this category (and for the best price!)
I've been a long time OneNote user, and consistently enjoy using the app. It is the perfect app for this sort of functionality for me. I'm also repeatedly impressed with how often Microsoft updates the iOS iPhone and iPad apps. Much more frequently than one would expect from such a large company with so many competing interests.
I find it funny that people will give an app 1 star due to one missing feature. Find me an app that has zero missing features. If you want something new, submit a feature request--don't write a one-star review.
Simply ok
This app is only great for viewing, maybe a tad of editing, and a little of actual note taking (unless it happens to be a recording), oh and basic lists. Otherwise the functions on this app on my iPhone 6s compared to my PC version are substantially weak. There's no clipping from your browser, or writing and highlighting, and among several others nor can you use features such as ruled/graph paper. It's actually becomes extremely frustrating to use if I only have my iPhone, and as much as I like my new laptop with Windows 10 I almost never have that hanging around in my back pocket. 😉 This app could definitely use some good updates.

Skip to comments.World's First Sexbot Revealed
Posted on 01/11/2010 6:36:13 AM PST by DogBarkTree
THE world's first "sexbot" a life-sized rubber doll named Roxxxy who can chat about football has been unveiled.
The dark-haired, lingerie-clad robot has inbuilt artificial intelligence meaning she can talk footie and cars with her owner.
Roxxxy also boasts impressive, flesh-like, synthetic skin.
The revolutionary invention set to take the sex toy industry by storm also comes with FIVE different "personalities".
(Excerpt) Read more at thesun.co.uk ...
Wow... that IS lifelike!
And, for 5 days each month, the only available personality is "violently bitchy".
Cherry 2010!
Plastic fantastic lover...
Listen to the video from 1:18 forward. Your HA will turn into a WHAT!?!?!?
Just kidding, just kidding.
I didn't read the article or see the video,
but I've stated for a long time that the first iteration of such a "functional" robot would come from Japan...
A bitch with 5 different personalities? No Thanks!
5 personalities that talks about 9/11 being an inside job and having tons of steel and burning jet fuel come down on her. Very bizarre and offensive.
Old balding perv and his plastic partner. ( Next on the Jerry Springer show.)
Check out Unknown Hinson's tune "Polly Urethane".
All the Joooooooz got the call!
That video is seriously strange.
They programed her to be a liberal. Maybe you'd be better off with a cheaper version blow up doll that doesn't talk back!
The perversion of this society knows , no limits.
Oh great. I bring one home, and nine months later I've got her and a really intelligent toaster oven.
Sort of like my ex-wife...
I assume there's a button to make it shut up without crying about it.
I agree, very insulting and disgusting.
SHe likes molten steel and jet fuel? Worked in Tower 1? Died on 9/11. Fricking disgusting and it angers me.
He's just bitter because Englishwomen are ugly. Just look at the robot.
I think we've just found the fatal design flaw.
An anti-Bush Truther rant from a doll who wants her foot calluses abraided.!!!!!
If not, the manufacturer is missing a major selling point.
oops abraided should be abraded.
They aren't stupid. They are just creating a product for their projected customer base.
That was SO HOT!
Oh God, I'm all sexy-ed up now.
Feh. Living creatures are merely biorobots.
[with FIVE different "personalities".]
1) I have a headache
2) The garbage hasn't been taken out, AGAIN!
3) Do I look fat in these jeans?
4) You hate my mother.
5) I'll take every dime you have in the divorce.
Kind of misses the point, doesn't it?
I imagine as "the frigid Sara" she is supposed to be a challenge. It works. If that and scraping callouses off her feet are your dates topics of conversation, it may take some persuedin'....
"also comes with FIVE different "personalities".
Just like my ex-wife.
You're a fan of The Unknown Hinson? I thought I was the only one!
Instead of "Heather has two daddies", we'll get "Heather's Mommy softens when heated".
Mark my words.
Most of us are happy just to have a laptop.
Next they'll want marriage rights and benefits....
Will they be claimed as dependents??

A Brooklyn dance company needs a home. Several, actually.
Tze Chun Dance Company looks to bring its latest production, "Parlour Games," a playful look at what served as entertainment pre-TV, to different brownstones in Brooklyn.
"It's a free arts event that is not in the usual spaces," said artistic director Tze Chun. "We're bringing it literally into people's homes introducing dance into a much more domestic atmosphere."
The series kicks off April 10, with South Oxford Space in Fort Greene hosting the first night, and Serenity at Home, a bed and breakfast in Prospect Lefferts Gardens, hosting on April 11. Chun looks to extend the series until June, but needs a few more locations to make that happen.
Zenobia Marion was not shy about hosting the series at her Prospect Lefferts lodge. "I think it's absolutely fabulous for the community," said Marion. "It's such an unassuming neighborhood."
The piece borrows its movement from parlour games, some familiar, like Blind Man's Bluff, a precursor to Marco Polo, others baffling, like Are You There Moriarty, where participants lie on the floor hitting each other with newspapers.
To recreate the atmosphere of those games, the piece will be set to a piano accompaniment and other era-appropriate sounds like grandfather clocks. All that's needed is the brownstone.
Anyone have a lead?
"Parlour Games" at South Oxford Space [138 S. Oxford St. between Atlantic and Fulton avenues in Fort Greene, (718) 398-3078], April 10 at 2 pm; and at Serenity at Home [57 Rutland Rd. between Bedford and Flatbush avenues in Prospect Lefferts Gardens, (347) 414-5536] hosts April 11 at 3 pm.

Firefly Music Server
The Firefly Media Server makes streaming music and Internet radio onto your home network for iTunes or Banshee clients as easy as pie.
Imagine a scenario in which you have two stationary PCs on your network, and you also use a laptop as a portable workstation. An older PC acts as a gateway, print, and file server. Your music collection is spread across the hard disks of the three workstations, and if you happen to be working on your laptop, you can only access the songs on the local disk.
To be able to access the whole collection, all three computers would need to be up and running. Furthermore, using Samba or NFS shares for access is not your idea of a convenient approach.

Doing Good Deeds Is Always In Style
The Case
Fun Fact: I grew up in the 1980s. With all the cartoons I absorbed as a boy, there couldn't have been more than ten collected minutes that wasn't accompanied by a flashy toy line. However the idea of wrapping what amounts to bargain bin moral fables up in the vapid sensibilities of the Paris Hilton set is like the taste of regurgitated energy drink in the back of my throat.
Yasmin, Cloe, Sasha and Jade, as I'm sure you're all aware, are the titular foursome. Bratz: Good Vibes collects four adventures from their hit computer animated TV show. The girls learn valuable lessons about karma, accepting the flaws of others, not judging a book by its cover, and the true reward of doing a good deed for others. The saccharine sweetness would be too much for any sane person to bear, were it not for the rest of the experience being as crass and caustic as a jock filled with fire ants.
Is it irony or coincidence that the moral lesson to be learned in each of the four adventures available on this disc are a nucleus about which orbits layer upon layer of blatant commercialism and, quite frankly, disturbing objectification of preteen girls? The characters are, as a rule of thumb, all gossamer thin. Existing only to sing out scatterbrained remarks in voices so squeaky and shrill, I'm quite sure they are capable of driving porpoises into a murderous frenzy. Most disheartening though is the setting. I'm fully acquainted with the idea of simplicity in cartoons. But these aren't stories being told by secret agent rockstars, cute and cuddly animals, or magical faeries. The word I think we'll roll with today is "prosti-tots." The characters are preteen girls, dolled up like Hollywood Boulevard trash. Every plot device stems from the Bratz dealing with problems that arise with either their fashion magazine or the mall. They exist in a Jersey Shore Lite vacuum. If I were the father of a little girl, this would not be on the list of entertainment I'd be promoting in the household.
Computer animation can look fantastic, but unfortunately that usually entails a spectacular budget. Bratz: Good Vibes features characters that look like fetal alcohol homunculi, and move like they've got skeletons made of glass. It's stiff, cheap looking visuals all around.
Those cheap visuals, though, are helped out quite a bit by the clean and tidy transfer, and while the 2.0 Dolby Digital stereo mix isn't going to win any awards, its quality won't be questioned either. Sadly, the only extras to be found are trailers for more Bratz entertainment.
What can I say, parents? Bratz: Good Vibes poses the same type of danger to your little girls as letting them slurp down cans of Red Bull and play in Mommy's makeup kit. It's a question of role models, because while the lessons being taught are worth your kid's listening, do you really want them being taught by tramps-in-training?
The Verdict
These little Divaz are ordered to report to the nearest rehab facility.

WEDOWEE, Ala. (AP) - Two men have been arrested and 45 dogs taken from two homes in Randolph County suspected as sites for training dogs for fighting.
District Attorney E. Paul Jones, who took part in Monday's raid, said 54-year-old William Alsabrook of Newell and 34-year-old Artis Kyles of Roanoke were charged with harboring dogs for fighting purposes.
They remained in the Randolph County jail Tuesday awaiting bond.
Kyles also faces drug and firearm possession charges.
Alsabrook's lawyer, Thomas Radney of Alexander City, said Tuesday that his client denies any wrongdoing.
It was not clear if Kyles had a lawyer.

Throughout parts of Northeast Philadelphia, the havoc Sandy wrought was evident, with trees taller than houses down throughout Rhawnhurst, Bustleton and Somerton and tangled power lines hanging lifeless in some places.
In Somerton, Sol Rosen sat in his kitchen watching CNN coverage of the storm's damage to the Shore and dealt with the damage to his own home - a roughly 30-foot tree that collapsed onto his house Monday night.
"I thought it was thunder outside, then all of a sudden, I went to close the blinds and saw people taking pictures outside," Rosen said, adding that he built his Verree Road home nearly four decades ago. "I opened the door and saw."

It doesn't matter that George Thorogood and the Destroyers have never cracked the Top 10. Their rock-blues-boogie is instantly recognizable, whether the first sound you hear is the purposely distorted buzz of Thorogood's big Gibson guitar or the nasty, raspy growl of his voice.

I didn't say that he will. That was Sir Frank William's who said it and then the British..well English (I don't hear as much hype about him in Scotland) media thought "OMG he'll be our next British champion!" and haven't stopped hyping him since then.

Morning Shots: Bill Cosby Is Not Dead, But Bugs Bunny May Want To Be Soon
Bill Cosby is understandably unamused by repeated run-ins with Twitter rumors that he's dead. I have to say, I hope it's many many years before he actually dies, but when he does, it's going to be really hard to convince people.
Kanye West is talking about collaborators on his upcoming album. It's largely people you might expect. You know, Beyonce, Jay-Z ... Bon Iver.
So here's a bad start to your day: the words "live-action CGI hybrid Bugs Bunny movie" have just entered your life.
I have to say, Yahoo!: Some part of me rebels internally against the idea of using a style guide issued by a company that continues to insist that its name has an exclamation point in it.

Hi, I haven't found help on this by searching previous posts, so I'm inquiring here. I'm in the process of migrating my web site to a new host and am using the temp domain they gave me. Things look fine in Chrome, Safari, and Firefox, on both PC and Mac, but the text widget text is very blurry and looks like it has a dropshadow in IE8. I have been trying mightily to figure this out and would appreciate any help!

Draft and Trade Talk Message Board
Seabrook or Byfuglien? Carcillo or Hartnell?
Talking about a keeper league here.
Centers - Malkin, Jokinen, Pavelski, Cogliano
Left Wings - Morrow, Cammalleri, Carcillo
Right Wings - Hossa, Perry, Hemsky, Samuelsson
Defense - Phaneuf, Green, Visnovsky, McCabe, Seabrook.
Goalies - Miller, Bryzgalov, Pavelec
IR - Whitney, Williams
I'm thinking I may want to drop Seabrook and Carcillo.
Available left wings - Byfuglien, Hartnell, Burrows, Brunette, Voros, Boedker, Raymond, Brunnstrom
Available defensemen - Jovanovski, Byfuglien, Enstrom, Letang, O'Brien, Oduya, Mitchell, Edler, Gleason, Sbisa, Vlasic
So.... I figure if I grab Byfuglien for Seabrook, that gives me a few more points from a d-man, plus I can also play him at left wing once in a while. However, I'd probably lose out on some penalty minutes. But I also like O'Brien, Vlasic and Letang. If you had your choice, based on my current roster, who would you get and why?
And Carcillo has apparently been told to keep himself out of trouble. However, as far as PIMs go, this year in head to head, I'm 5-1-0. Tied for tops in the league. So, I'm also in a little bit of a spot here as well. I had Hartnell and dropped him for Carcillo earlier in the season, assuming that Carcillo would get me about 250 PIMs. Apparently, that ain't gonna' happen. Of the available left wings, which one do I want, and why?
Thanks very much.Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies

For LW, I would dump Carcillo in a second as many said, without his PIM's he is worthless in turn I'd grab a young player like burrows or Raymond, I have no bias towards Van at all I'm from Toronto, They may not be smokin` right now but assuming your keeper league is going to continue on... I'd look for those boys to be tearing it up soon...
For D, I think I would also waive Seabrook for Vlasic. Definitely a more difficult decision, but beyond Chi's, Stacked 1st line Vlasic is on the sharks. Although he his on the 2nd PP line, he's still producing.
Disregard my opinion if you feel like you'll take too big of a hit in PIM's but you could still even argue with that, I wouldn't look past Burrows to hold is on in PIM's...
Hope your decisions work out for ya..
Gino Odjick Gino Odjick Nov 21, 2008 11:09 PM Flag
Carcillo for Burrows, Seabrook for Edler.... Burrows gets decent points, high pim, high plus minus.....as far as I know Carcillo just get pim's. I would also drop him for Raymond, Hartnell or Voros. As a canucks fan, Burrows is good, but he's pretty much gonna plateau from here...Raymond and Edler both have a huge upside...no matter what though, you should drop carcillo
I'm beginning to think some of you people are ungrateful for my help.
Is this how Jesus feels? Like people don't appreciate what he did for them?
- 1 Reply to Brock W
jesus? never heard of em.
dump carcillo and if u want PIMS, nab o'brien. so far he seems like he can't stay out of the sinner.
You should keep Seabrook and get Hartnell
i think that byfuglien is a good idea i believe he is also rw as well so u can rotate him well. as for hartnell i have him and while he isnt the greatest he is decent and the coach is pushing him to perform. he is also on a strong team and i believe plays with carter alot and carter is already showing signs of being a stud in the nhl
Now that Morrow is going to be out for the next 6 months....
Anybody else?
depends on what you need. i'm a big vlasic fan, and he plays second PP on the sharks and gets a TONNE of icetime. that being said, he definately will not solve your PIM problem, he wouldn't hurt a fly. voros gets PIM's yes but 7 of his 12 points came in the first 5 games, and then another 2 points came in 1 game 3 games later. burrows ia a nice option, but he doesn't get you PPP (but will get you points, along with a healthy PIM)

Product Description
If you find during the 160-minute running time of The Shoes of the Fisherman (1968) that you don't like the plot, wait 10 minutes. It will surely change and there will be another story thread to entice you. The screenplay is literally all over the map: Siberia, where Archbishop Kiril Lakota, played splendidly by Anthony Quinn, has been exiled to a work camp in the oppressive Soviet regime; Moscow, where a genially scene-chewing Laurence Olivier plays a Soviet ruler with history with Lakota; China, where famine threatens to bring the world of the late '60s to the brink of World War III; and Rome, where Lakota travels after being freed (and where dissolute reporter David Janssen does his best to groove on the Swinging Sixties). Yet despite its flaws, the movie's central drama is riveting: the current Pope dies suddenly, and for a good bit of the film, viewers are treated to the Vatican's inner workings on the election of a new Pope. The events unfold at a leisurely pace, which allows you to drink in the spectacle and wonder of the ancient traditions. The Alex North Oscar-nominated score is lovely, and Quinn's performance is the somber-with-a-humble-twinkle glue that holds the film together. Anyone interested in the traditions and rituals of the Vatican will find plenty to savor.
The Miracle of Our Lady of Fatima tells the story--through an admittedly Hollywood prism--of one of the most beloved Catholic legends of the 20th century. Three young shepherd children in the remote Portuguese mountain town Fatima reported seeing a vision in 1917 of "a beautiful lady" who spoke to them of strife, war and peace and the love of Jesus. Soon the word spread, and throngs, teetering on mobs, gathered near the site for a glimpse of what they believed to be Mary, mother of Jesus. The children remained steadfast in their account, despite threats from the church and the government, and the final appearance of the lady, on Oct. 13, 1917, was accompanied by strange apparitions in the sky that have yet to be explained by science. The movie is well-made and -acted, especially by a radiant Susan Whitney, who plays the oldest child, Lúcia Abóbora dos Santos. The screenplay takes some liberties with the facts: the lovable jokester-sidekick character of Hugo is fictitious, and one wonders if perhaps a few of Our Lady's cautions about the multitude of evil things happening in 1917 Russia might have been heard through a Cold War filter. But the 1952 film is moving and is a reminder that big studios once routinely, and profitably, released religious-themed movies, to audiences who surely would appreciate some of the same today. --A.T.

When Vastra runs to Jenny's body, Catrin Stewart's eyes are clearly moving beneath her eyelids.
Trivia: The Cybermen's weaknesses to gold and cleaning fluid are mentioned. Their gold weakness was first mentioned in "Revenge of the Cybermen," while their weakness to cleaning fluid (more accurately, solvents such as acetone and nail polish remover) was in "The Moonbase."
Trivia: The Doctor's comment about a "gobby Australian" is a reference to Tegan Jovanka, an airplane hostess and his companion primarily during his fifth incarnation.
Trivia: The observatory from "Tooth and Claw" is seen in one of the TARDIS rooms.
Trivia: The Doctor uses a crystal from Metebelis Three. The crystals were last seen in the original series "The Planet of the Spiders" in 1974: the same year this episode takes place.
The submarine's depth gauge is labeled improperly; the dial lists the units as "METEPC", or the word "METERS" transliterated into Cyrillic characters, rather than translated into Russian. The Russian word for "meters" is "метров," or "metrov" when transliterated into Roman characters.
When the submarine surfaces, breaking the ice cover, the diving hydroplanes on the sail are in the horizontal position. All submarines with hydroplanes on the sail rotate it to the vertical position before breaking the ice cover. The edge of the hydroplanes are reinforced and angled for this purpose.
The bridge console shows high definition flat-screen plasma displays. In the early 1980s, the equipment used would be CRT displays.
When the sub is resting on the ridge at 700 meters (2300 feet) depth, the missiles can not be launched. The maximum launch depth for the Delta III/IV submarines are 55 meters (180 feet).
Trivia: The HADS (Hostile Action Defense System) is mentioned for the first time in the series since the 1968 serial "The Krotons."
Trivia: When Clara meets the girl from the bookcover, Summers Falls, the writer is Amelia Williams.
After Solomon teleports away with Nefertiti, a voice over plays saying "Hostile targeting in progress". A computer monitor is then shown which misspells it as "Hostile targeting in process."
Trivia: When Oswin tells the Doctor about the Intensive Care unit, she mentions that they are survivors of failed Dalek campaigns on the planets Spiridon, Kembel, Aridius, Vulcan, and Exxilon. This refers to events from the classic series' stories "Planet of the Daleks," "The Dalek Master Plan," "The Chase," "The Power of the Daleks," and "Death to the Daleks," respectively.
Just before the Doctor enters the TARDIS near the end of this episode, three children see him. When River is examining the files in the future, she has photographs of the children shown at the moment they met the Doctor but there were no cameras around to take those precise photos.
Trivia: This makes the first televised appearance of a Cybermat in thirty-six years. They were last seen on-screen in the 1975 serial "Revenge of the Cyberman." The Cybermat's appearance here is closer to its very first appearance in "The Tomb of the Cyberman," rather than the sleeker (and primarily CGI) design of "Revenge."
During the teaser, the policewoman opens door 214, walks forward down the hall and opens door 215, and then continues forward down the hall and opens 214 again.
Trivia: Among the photographs on the hotel's walls are a Sontaran, a Silurian, a Tritovore, a Hoix, a Catkind, and a Judoon.
Trivia: The Doctor mentions that the minotaur-like creature is similar to the Nimon, a race of aliens that featured in the Fourth Doctor serial "The Horns of Nimon."
Future Amy says she learned the trick of making the hand-bots touch each other to stun them on her first day in the facility, when in fact she had already been there a week before she learned to do it (in the first room).
In this episode Mels comments "You said guns didn't work in this place! You said we're in a state of temporal grace!". This is a reference to a plot device from the original series in which weapons could not be discharged within the TARDIS. This was first mentioned in "The Hand of Fear (3)." In later episodes this plot device was abandoned such as "Earthshock."
