Latest update August 27th, 2016 12:59 AM
Dear Editor,
I wish to make clear the history of Caribbean Aviation Maintenance Services Limited (CAMS) becoming a designated fuel handling agent at Ogle Airport, for the benefit of the public.
Guysuco was the sole supplier of Av gas at Ogle from its inception. In 1993, the first turbine engine aircraft using Av Jet fuel arrived at Ogle. Texaco was invited to install an Av Jet fuel facility but politely declined citing lack of volume for such large expenditures.
Texaco however agreed to supply Av jet product to Caribbean Aviation Maintenance Services providing they met and adhered to all of Texaco's technical and safety requirements.
Caribbean Aviation Maintenance Services subsequently became an approved Chevron Texaco Fixed Based Operator (FBO). Chevron Texaco sold their Guyana operation to RUBIS West Indies in 2010.
In 1995, Guysuco gave up their Ogle Av gas management contract with Texaco. Texaco then approached Caribbean Aviation Maintenance Services who agreed to manage their installation for them. Caribbean Aviation Maintenance Services has been managing the supply of all aviation products for the past sixteen years at Ogle.
In 2001, the airport was leased to Ogle Airport Inc. by the Government of Guyana. As the only supplier of Av gas and Av Jet products at Ogle, Caribbean Aviation Maintenance Services continued to supply the Airport with these products.
All the operators, including Air Service Ltd, who sat on the board at that time, supported this agreement. Any operator could have set up their own Aviation Fuel installation had they wanted.
From 2007 to 2011 the country witnessed an unusual surge in the acquisition of turbine engine aircraft, particularly by Air Services Ltd. who bought the first of their seven Cessna Caravans in 2007.
Faced with such rapid demand for fuel, Caribbean Aviation Maintenance Services made a significant capital investment, to increase storage capacity, and to satisfy the terms of its obligation to Ogle Airport Inc. and the operators at Ogle.
Caribbean Aviation Maintenance Services Limited would like to make it clear that it has no wish to exercise a monopoly over the supply of aviation fuel at Ogle airport.

a short trip up the east coast

sprucing up the yard
We went to visit the husband's oldest daughter today. She bought a house close to us and we occasionally drop by to visit her and let the kids play with her kids. They are almost of the same age that they can get along for long periods of time without aggravating each other, lol. She was working on the yard, saying she wanted one side of the backyard paved with white rocks while the other side will be done with patio stones. We then discussed the merit of grass over paved yard where we both agreed that paved yard is better because it is less messy and should cost less on maintenance as well. I suggested she buy a patio set when she is finished with her project because she has plenty of room for it. She can actually have two of those patio sets in her backyard and still have plenty of room to spare. That is how big her backyard is! She said she will definitely buy a set but will think about buying another set because she might just buy something else entirely to put in her yard. Did I mention she has a pool? That was where most of the kids were on today's visit which limits the babysitting to just one area of the house. It was nice. It made me almost wish for a bigger yard but then I know that it will not be paved like hers because the husband and I would probably till the whole area for a garden. Different priorities, I know. Anyway, what are your plans to spruce up your yard this season? Do you need to redecorate your patio? Here's some popular teak at Home and Patio Décor Center! This might help you with ideas on what to do with your own yard.

spring break
The husband wanted for us to spend spring break away from home this year but it seems like it is not happening. It is ironic, really. We have the money to go somewhere but we can't because of other reasons. Whenever we planned on going somewhere, money was always the reason why we could not go. Now that we have saved up enough to go on vacation, we can't because the car we always use on trips is not conditioned enough that the mechanic in him is afraid to drive it away from home for days. So, we might just stay home and perhaps work on the back yard. Am I disappointed? No. In fact, I am relieved. Although you might have to keep that secret for me because he is disappointed. Fortunately, he could not blame me for this so I am off the hook. Lol!
In as much as I love to travel and I enjoy every trip we make as family, I did not see any reason to go somewhere else this spring break. What for? We live on the beach, more or less two miles away from it that when the wind is blowing on the right direction we can smell salt air while sitting in the backyard. It had been a mild winter so even if there were cold days, it was offset by milder days where we get to actually enjoy being out of the house in the middle of winter. No cabin fever here which was a nice change from a couple of years ago. It is really nice, to be living in the coast. He does agree to it. As for wanting a getaway, I told him if he really wants to go on a trip, we can always go to D.C. so I can process mine and the kids dual citizenship at the embassy. Now, that will be a trip worth planning for!

missing pictures
I don't know what happened but some of the photos on my posts are not showing up. It is only the recent uploads that are not showing either. I have not been on my blogs for a while because my hands are kept full by my kids and school. I went ahead and just deleted the photos that are showing blank so nobody will have to stare and wonder what is up (or down). I hope to be able to figure out what is going on when I get the chance to tinker with my blogs one of these days.

never too late
When I graduated from college twelve years ago, I did not buy a college class ring. It was mostly because of financial reason and I have regretted not doing it. I could have saved enough from my allowance to make sure I purchase one because it would have been a remembrance of my finishing a degree. I have often wondered if I could buy one right now and how much it would cost. I have looked at class rings online a few times but I cannot decide what to do. I will give it a little more time to figure out what to do. If I can find a ring that I like within my budget I will probably get one in the future.

beautiful day
This is what we see normally when we go to the beach to do our very early morning walks. I am not a morning person but I will get up and get ready if it means going to the beach to see this beauty. The little girl loves it too and we spend time walking, playing, running, and just enjoying the day. It is not too hot if we go very early that is why I like it and there rarely are any people walking. The beach is mostly deserted and it is so peaceful. I will miss this when it gets cold because we might not go daily when it happens so I am trying to enjoy this now while we can. This is one of the reason why we move to the beach, so we can gaze at this wonder daily, if we want to.

a pleasant surprise
The family ate out today. We went to a Mexican restaurant where the little man surprised us by eating tortilla chips dipped in salsa. Nobody urged him to eat, he did it on his own. He kept on saying that it was good and by the amount he consumed I would say he was not just saying it to make anybody happy. The experience was probably as surprising as receiving a brand new godin a5 from a perfect stranger. Totally unexpected! Normally, when we tell him we are going out to eat he always whine about McDonald's but not this time. The husband told his son he was very proud of him although he was miffed that the younger man hogged the dip, lol. I am hoping that this is the beginning of him trying new food and that he will enjoy the experience all the time. As for the little girl, she had ice cream after making it known to everybody she was not interested on anything else. We are optimistic that she will change her preferences as she gets older. After all, the little man used to be picky too but look at him now. There is hope! Lol.

I tried my hand at baking Monay. This is the kind of bread I grew up eating. This kind is readily available at bakeshops (bakery) in the Philippines. It is sweet and dense and is a good partner for coffee for breakfast. This was my first attempt which fortunately resulted in an edible batch, lol. The little man and I devoured whatever little amount I made. We will try this again in the future because in as much as I love this bread I do not think it is good eaten everyday especially if eaten in more than one serving. Even the husband was amazed at the flavor and with the fact that I actually baked something edible. He said I should make more. I know I will, it is just a matter of when.

We had another visit with the neonatologists last week. They did the ultrasound, and it's pretty cool to see how the bones are developing. When you get the usual ultrasounds at 20 weeks, the bones are really more like stiff jelly. When the bones start to solidify, it creates strong shadows on the ultrasound.
The brain has ventricles, that create CSF (cerebrospinal fluid) that flows up through the brain, and then down the spinal column. This is essentially what we commonly refer to as spinal fluid. One symptom that accompanies Dandy Walker Syndrome is hydrocephalus, or 'water on the brain'.
Festus' ventricles are dilated, almost to double what they should be. One should be about 10 cm, it's 19cm. It's putting pressure on his cranium, pushing it out. As of today, we're 29 and 4 days along, but his cranium says we're 34 weeks along. His head is four weeks bigger than it should be.
What does this mean? More festivities at the party.
We're going to meet with a neurosurgeon in a month to get their assessment on it. That is, do we do the brain surgery a couple days after his birth, or a couple hours? And then he'll spend a week and a half, maybe two weeks in NICU.
I hate this. I really do.
I must concede, there are blessings to knowing what is happening. There are others who might be in the same situation, and have no idea that their pregnancy is like this. In a worst-case situation, they might have a 6-month old that is crying as though he's in pain non-stop and not know why (it would be because the cranial pressure was crushing his brain). How scary then would it be to go in, be told his head is measuring too big, he's got hydrocephalus, and he needs a shunt put in his brain to relieve the pressure. Then they find out part of his brain is missing. Ugh. How horrid would that be? Awful.
We know what's happening, we can anticipate what is going to happen. We can start with a therapy program within days of his getting here to make sure his brain develops, possibly compensates for the missing vermis. We are able to schedule his brain surgery, long before the pressure does any damage. We know to look for developmental milestones. Now, not all children hit the milestones when they should. The last specialist we met with told us one son was walking at 9 months, his second son didn't walk until 18 months. He admitted he was biting his fingernails. So if Festus isn't walking at 18 months, we're not going to cede he's bound to a wheelchair. But we might not be sleeping so well.
This is tough. There are people who have families with such challenges, and they seem to not even notice they have them. How do they do it? I wish I knew. Natalie and I haven't had a good night of sleep in months. We don't feel like we're stressing over Festus (there has been plenty to stress over this summer). But neither of us have slept well for more than three hours. In months.
For those that read this, please let me know if you know of anything with core blood research. Any studies, research, success stories, failures even. I once heard a fantastic story, and then the genetic counselor said she couldn't find anything. Rather than call her a liar, I'd like to help her out, and I could use your help. Thank you, in advance.

The results are in for the 2012 Antarctic Ice Marathon!
Dr Andrew Murray (GBR) won the men's marathon in a new course record of 3:41.15 hrs. The 32 year old GP, who has run more than 50 marathons, said this was 'one of his best'. Murray went on to run a 50km race, as the start of his seven x 50km races, on seven continents in seven days.
The women's title was taken by 'honeymooner' Demelza Farr (AUS), with a time of 5:09.43 hrs. Farr and her husband James Alderson (who ran the Antarctic 100K Ultra) flew to Union Glacier as part of their honeymoon. Alderson proposed at the North Pole Marathon earlier this year and the two were recently married. They will now head off for a more traditional honeymoon in warmer climes! Second place went to ANI's Nancy Moundalexis (USA), with a time of 5:41.40 hrs.
The Antarctic 100K Ultra saw a field of seven runners compete on a 10km course. ANI's own weather forecaster, Marc De Keyser (BEL), won the men's race with a time of 12:06.51 hrs. ANI facility manager Ian Storey (GBR) also put in a solid performance, with a time of 14:33.47 hrs. Sole female competitor Julianne Young (USA) completed the course in 15:31.10 hrs.
In all, 50 competitors representing 16 countries competed in the events, 11 of whom were completing the last of their seven marathons on seven continents. Congratulations to all.

Functions, Graphs, and Limits
Limits via Algebra
Most of the time, it's more precise (and a lot faster) to find limits using algebra.
When finding a limit of the form , where f(x) is just one nice algebraic expression, the first thing to do is plug a into the function to see if it exists. If f(a) exists, then that's the answer. This won't work for piecewise functions, since there could be gaps separating the pieces of the function.
Sample Problem
Find .
The first thing we do is plug in 3 and see if we find a value.
That's a perfectly good fraction, therefore
Here's an example of how we might not find a solution.
Sample Problem
Find .
The first thing we do is plug in 0 and see if we find a number.
= ?
The fraction is undefined, since we can't divide by zero.
Sample Problem
Find .
The first thing we do is see if we can plug in 2.
This answer is undefined.
When we're asked to find the limit of a quotient, if we plug in a number and find there's a good chance we can do something about it: we simplify the quotient and try again.
Sample Problem
Find .
We already tried to plug in 2 and that didn't work. We'll simplify the fraction by factoring the polynomials.
x2 – x – 2 = (x + 1)(x – 2)
x2 – 5x + 6 = (x – 2)(x – 3).
Now we can see why we got before: 2 is a root of the polynomial in the numerator, and also a root of the polynomial in the denominator. Here's the point where we can do something useful: cancel the term (x – 2) from the numerator and denominator:
Finally, put in 2 again:
We can now say
= 2.
Why does this work? Let
Now we'll think about .
The numerator of f(x) can be factored as
which equals (x – 1) for every value of x except -1 (when x = -1, the function is undefined).
We'll say that again, because it's important. After factoring f, we see that we can think of it as
If we graph this, we find the line x – 1 with a "hole" in the graph at x = -1 since f(-1) is undefined:
It's like the function f(x) is trying to be x – 1, but failing at one spot (poor function!). Here's the good news: since f(x) is trying to be x – 1, we can find the limit by instead finding

Fletcher's happy homecoming lifts #Seawolves to Saturday split at DePaul Invite
Aug. 30, 2014
Chicago, Ill. - The Stony Brook volleyball team recovered from a three-set loss to Hampton (25-18, 25-16, 25-19) earlier in the day and ended competition at the DePaul Invite on a high note with a 3-2 victory over Bradley (22-25, 25-23, 25-23, 23-25, 15-11).
Playing in front of family and friends, West Chicago, Ill, native and redshirt junior Kathy Fletcher totaled 29 kills, including a match-high 18 kills against Bradley. Fletcher, who averaged 2.75 kills and 1.92 digs per set over the three-match span, was named to the All-Tournament team.
Stony Brook improved to 2-1 on the season and came in second to Hampton (3-0) in the tournament.
Head Coach Coley Pawlikowski's Reaction
"We played very skilled and well-rounded volleyball. This morning, Hampton just played smarter and more aggressive than we did. Hampton did a good job of controlling the match, and that's something we need to improve on. However, we were very pleased to see how our team was able to rally and pull out a gutsy five-setter against Bradley this evening. We were able to battle back when we trailed without getting rattled and push. It was a FUN match in front of another AWESOME home-team crowd! The energy and effort was there tonight, and it is great to see our team rewarded for their efforts. Coming off this weekend 2-1 is a good feeling, and we are really proud of all 16 of our student-athletes. 16 strong is our focus and it was a good opening weekend for our program. There are plenty of areas to learn from and improve upon as we continue to grow!"

The Earthquakes resolved an immediate need Tuesday by acquiring center back Aaron Pitchkolan of FC Dallas for a conditional draft pick in 2011. But the trade won't solve all the problems for a struggling team that plays host to the New York Red Bulls tonight and first-place Chivas USA on Saturday.
Six weeks into the season, the Quakes (1-3-2) have yet to fulfill the promise of off-season additions meant to bolster the offense. Because of untimely injuries, missed scoring opportunities and mindless defensive breakdowns, San Jose has earned only one more point (five) than last year's expansion team did through the first six matches when it went 1-4-1.
The Earthquakes hope to regroup with two matches at Buck Shaw Stadium, starting tonight with a U.S. Open Cup play-in game. Both the Quakes and the Red Bulls will lean on seldom-used reserves in the game that has no bearing on the Major League Soccer standings.
Coach Frank Yallop is more concerned with his depleted backline.
"We just have to make sure we can get through" the week "with just two center backs," he said Tuesday.
Pitchkolan, a 6-foot-2 back, became an attractive option for the Quakes. Pitchkolan, 26, played his first four seasons in Dallas, where he had a career-best 21 appearances last season.
"We need coverage," General Manager John Doyle said.
After the Quakes lost defender James Riley to Seattle in the expansion draft, San Jose's star center back Jason Hernandez suffered a calf strain while training with the U.S. national team last winter. Hernandez hasn't played for the Quakes this season but could return in a week.
Then Ryan Cochrane was lost for three months after undergoing surgery on his left ankle last week. He had surgeries on both ankles in the off-season but never fully recovered.
Center midfielder Ramiro Corrales is doubtful this week because of an ankle sprain, and left wing Darren Huckerby remains questionable with a quadriceps strain.
The defensive breakdown "shows because we haven't had a clean sheet all year," forward Ryan Johnson said of the injured players.
San Jose will need to right itself quickly for fear of falling out of the playoff race. Chivas USA is dominating the Western Conference with 16 points. After Saturday, the Quakes play five of six on the road, where they have failed to score in two games.
"I'm not worried about us scoring goals, because it will happen," said Johnson, whose open shot Saturday ended up being blocked by Seattle goalie Kasey Keller.
A goal would have tied the score and potentially changed the complexion of a match San Jose lost 2-0.
"It's like a nightmare," Johnson said. "When the ball hits your head like that you know it's going in and all of sudden you see a hand out of nowhere."
It has been that kind of season for the Quakes so far.
"We've not clicked," Yallop said. "We moved the ball well, we looked dangerous at times, but there is just something that is missing."
Try team chemistry and a genuine belief they can win.
"We think we can," Yallop said.
Now the Earthquakes need to prove it.

More Drivers Test Positive for Pot in Wash. State
New figures from the Washington State Patrol show that more drivers have tested positive for marijuana since the state legalized the drug last year.
In the first six months of 2013, the patrol's crime lab says, 745 people tested positive for marijuana. Typically there are about 1,000 positive pot tests on drivers in a full year.
Patrol spokesman Bob Calkins says it doesn't necessarily mean there's been a rash of people driving high. He says troopers are looking harder for drivers operating under the influence of pot, and they might be ordering more marijuana blood tests.
Of the 745 people who tested positive for marijuana in the first half of this year, the state patrol says a majority tested above the legal limit of 5 nanograms of active THC per milliliter of blood. The exact number was 420.

Japanese collection is 'Audacious'
MARY ABBE | Updated 10/2/2013
"Audacious Eye" makes MIA one of the top centers for art from Japan.
The Minneapolis Institute of Arts unveils a show of recently acquired Japanese art from the Clark Collection.
Photo by Bruce Bisping
Crouching beside an 800-year-old Japanese sculpture of a Buddhist god astride a kneeling bull, curator Andreas Marks slipped a sheet of paper under the bull's hind quarters. It slid across the polished wooden base until it stopped just shy of the animal's firmly planted back hoofs. The paper's easy flow made clear that the beast is not lying down but is poised to leap up and carry the god into his fight against evil.
"Bill Clark pointed that out to me when I first met him back in 2008," said Marks, who heads the Minneapolis Institute of Arts' new Clark Collections of Japanese Art. "I was very impressed because no university art professor can tell you how a bull gets up."
Such knowledge comes naturally to Clark, a fifth-generation California dairy farmer. Clark and his wife, Libby, built an internationally acclaimed collection of Japanese art valued at an estimated $25 million. Acquired in June, the Clark Collections make the MIA one of the country's largest and most comprehensive centers of Japanese art. A sampling of about 120 of the Clarks' 1,700 works will be shown in "The Audacious Eye," running Sunday through Jan. 12.
The title of the exhibition acknowledges Clark's often idiosyncratic taste. For decades, the collector bought both acknowledged masterpieces and eccentric items of personal interest. Bull art, for example. The Buddhist god on the kneeling bull, "Daiitoku Myõõ," is so old, rare and culturally significant that the Japanese government had to approve its export. But Mochizuki Gyokusen's almost life-size "Black Bull, " a 19th-century screen painting, is an idiosyncratic choice — a fierce, muscular beast that looks ready to charge out of a modern stockade. And Ueda Kochu's "Boy on a Bull" is a charmingly cartoonish rendering of a bug-eyed beast straining against a nose rope.
Nature themes are everywhere, starting with ethereal 15th- and 16th-century ink paintings of preening cranes, a nest of sparrows hidden in a bamboo clump, and a fierce hawk peering over his shoulder. Two hundred years later, the delicate Chinese-influenced painting style gives way to a more robust and playful manner in Dairyusai Getsuju's delightful "Frog and Mouse," in which a fat, self-satisfied frog gazes myopically over a grassy landscape in which cowers an almost invisible mouse. Kids will love this stuff.
Religious motifs and graceful tales of court life are well represented, too. A monumental 17th-century painting of the "Death of the Buddha" depicts the serene deity surrounded by weeping followers and despairing animals, including a pink elephant writhing on its back. Nearby, an exquisite folding screen reveals scenes from the 11th-century "Tale of Genji," considered the world's first novel. The vignettes — of lovers in a boat, dinners, processions — are seen from above through breaks in golden clouds.
Clark's 19th-century art includes hanging scrolls of ghosts, water monsters and a pair of fabulous silver-foil folding screens by Mano Kyotei on which the "Gods of Thunder, Wind and Rain" flap fans, spew water and rattle drums. The weirdest piece is Aoki Toshio's "Shoki and Demons," a bizarre nightclub bacchanal in which fanged creatures squabble, gossip and dance under the malign gaze of their dissolute overlord.
After that neurotic gloom, the 20th-century gallery is a sunny delight, dominated by Fukami Sueharu's astonishing porcelain sculptures — a huge celadon bowl poised on a conical tip and 7-foot-tall knife-edged column. A delicate bamboo mobile offers a wavelike interplay of twigs and shadows, while the elegant 2008 screen painting "Blue Sheet and Yellow Flowers" makes a rare excursion into social commentary by depicting a famous Japanese beauty in one of the blue tents that the homeless pitch in Japan's parks.

FILE - In this Monday, July 23, 2012 file photo, James Holmes, accused of killing 12 people in Friday's shooting rampage in an Aurora, Colo., movie theater, appears in Arapahoe County District Court with defense attorney Tamara Brady in Centennial, Colo. A court hearing Thursday, Aug. 30, 2012 will examine Holmes' relationship with a University of Colorado psychiatrist to whom he mailed a package containing a notebook that reportedly contains violent descriptions of an attack. His attorneys say Holmes is mentally ill and that he sought help from psychiatrist Lynne Fenton at the school, where he was a Ph.D. student, until shortly before the July 20 shooting. Prosecutors allege Holmes may have been angry at the failure of a once promising academic career. (AP Photo/Denver Post, RJ Sangosti, Pool, File)

Ice in a six-game tailspin
*Disclaimer* - I'm not covering the team anymore so I don't have, nor do I claim to have, any real inside scoop.
This is just opinion, pure and simple. Take it for what it's worth.
Congrats to G Peyton Lee, a Cranbrook product who moved away at 14 to play a higher level hockey at POE in the Okanagan, getting the win in the nets as the Giants beat the Ice 6-3.
Lots going on in the land of Ice these days, though, for the amount of bums in the seats at the Rec Plex - Western Financial Place for those looking to get some mileage out of the money spent on the naming - you wouldn't know it. For those keeping track the average attendance this season has been 2272 through 11 home dates including the two smallest crowds in the history of the building at 2116.
This is a young team and finally Kootenay won't likely make the playoffs after 14 straight seasons in the post-season, time to deal with it. Hopefully the fans will still hang in there. It's a deep draft this May and a top-five pick will fit in nicely to the club's rebuilding plans.
Projected Top Five Bantam Picks:
1. Kale Clague - D - Lloydminster Heat
2. Tyler Benson - F - Edmonton SSAC Lions
3. Dante Fabbro - D - BWC Bruins
4. Sam Steel - F - Sherwood Park Flyers
5. Jaeger White - F - BWC Bruins
Lots to talk about attendance-wise as always but it's been beat to death elsewhere.
And we move on......
Ice captain Drew Czerwonka's decision to move on with his life and retire from hockey to pursue a career in the Trades was something out of left field but not deep left field. There'd been speculation since before last season that he didn't like it here and was contemplating asking for a trade. Again, that's the scuttlebutt but realistically, it has to be the injuries. I would think that a quality guy like Czerwonka wouldn't bail on a team because of it's perceived fortunes this season. Two years ago he got a championship. Now, they won't likely make the playoffs but any player with an ounce of heart doesn't quit for that reason so I don't buy that. Good luck in his endeavours. Representing many, many tradesmen in the industry I'm in, god knows we need more of them so good luck to him.
As for McGill and his style of coaching. They better get used to it. It's his M.O. and he makes no apologies for it. Coaches are coaches and some styles rub the new generation the wrong way. Suck it up, I guess. As a player, you have to learn to play for different coaching styles or you'll never survive in the game.
I do ask this question though.... anybody seen Elgin Pearce's stats lately???? Hey, just asking. He's sitting 19th in league scoring with 19 points for the Tigers. There'll be a reunion tonight as the Ice are in Medicaint Hat. Dylan McKinlay is 29th in league scoring for the Rockets. Easy with the 20/20 hindsite but on a team that has a tough time scoring, one of them would be nice. Wonder how long the 20-year-old spot will be left open?
Couple of deals made of late though;
After seeing Zach Phillips last night play acquired from the Everett Silvertips early yesterday, I'm impressed. For a conditional 7th rounder? A steal if he can be consistent. He was Kootenay's top player last night, or one of them. He's a big body - 6'4", 200lbs and can skate and distribute the puck.
Jeff Chynoweth a couple of days ago got 18-year-old Austin Vetterl from the Vancouver Giants for 17-year-olds D Kyle Krabben and F Doug Morris. This one carries a bit of weight with it as Vetterl will be expected to contribute now for players that likely would've made the team next year. I thought Krabben was an excellent puck-moving d-man in camp and had him higher than one d-man that made the club. Morris was lighting up the AJHL and also played well here but a case of too much depth in Kootenay at that age group for him to get a chance here. Still thought that Morris was better than either of the Europeans. Not to get picky but if you bring in the import players they have to be Top-Six forwards or Top-four D-men. That clearly isn't the case here.
Okay, some more thoughts:
Don't like Descheneau on the point on the power play. He's too fast and a slick playmaker for that spot. Probably shows the real need for PP quarterback on this team more than anything else. Doesn't have the big shot needed for him being there.
Captain - Leach, Montgomery or Reinhart?
Loved Montgomery's answer to Darren Dietz of the Blades last night after a dangerous hit on his D-man (Wand, I think) coming to his aid but the 17 minutes he was off for the instigator really hurt. Still hate that penalty.
Is it me or has the big start to Jon Martin's season been toned down after the suspensions early on? He needs to play with an edge.
Just a thought but I still think looking into a video clock would improve attendance. Just a thought.
So all the talk about the Blades and the fact they're hosting the Memorial Cup next spring and, really, they're not very good. The oldest team in the league had a lot of trouble with the youngest last night and a couple of inches the other way and the Ice were up 5-2 in this one. Getting Nathan Burns from the Giants will help but Molleken paid a high, high price for a 6-7 forward, at best, with the first rounder in 2014, a 3rd round pick in 2013 AND Travis McEvoy this early in the season. A bit panicky for me. But realistically, this team is going to have to get a whole lot better just to make the playoffs, never mind being embarrassed at the Memorial Cup. If it wasn't for Makarov last night it might've been a blowout.
And finally the Giants are in town tonight for the first time in two years. No word whether they've called up Morris and Krabben to play as of yet but you would think that Giant coach Don Hay would give G Payton Lee of Cranbrook the start. He was called up from Richond Junior B when starter Liam Liston went down in Medicine Hat.
Gametime is 7PM. I'll miss most of it as the Bantams host Spokane at the Memorial at 6PM.

Hi Jeff - nice to see you putting some thoughts down again. I have to admit I was cautiously optimistic to start the year, but my hopes are fading quickly. Now that doesn't mean I won't support the team - in fact, I think it's even more important to support them during this rebuilding phase. Speaking of rebuilding, there used to be a saying around the WHL that "Kootenay never seems to rebuild....they just reload!" Well, it certainly appears our two league leading steaks of never missing the playoffs and never having a sub .500 season are in danger of stopping this season.
Points of consideration:
- We are the "youngest" team in the league. Some may argue that shouldn't matter if your young guns have talent but it does make a difference in the narrow world of Major Junior hockey. There is s a BIG difference in 16 and 17 year old boys playing against 19 and 20 year old young men as opposed to the pros where youth is a valuable commodity. Having said that, we have some great young players who should gel into a very respectable and competitive team in a few short years. The Saskatoon Blades have shown us twice this season already that having a glut of older players is not a guarantee of success either....
Coaching...... Ryan McGill certainly has the credentials but I wonder if his hard line methods aren't a relic of the past. I remember in his previous tour of duty here that while initially effective, the kids eventually just tuned him out. Time will tell....I really wish Kris Knoblauch and Jeff Chynoweth could have found a way to mend fences but there's no point in dwelling on the past - Onwards and Upwards!
Part 1 of 2 - apparently I was long winded....
- November 4, 2012 at 10:17 AM
Part 2 of 2....
Goaltending - thinking back over the years....we have been so spoiled at the quality of kids we had guarding the nets for us. Pool, Boxma, Blackburn, Glass, Dakers, Bridges, Lieuwen to name a few. We are just used to goaltending stealing a few games here and there and otherwise keeping the game tight. This year we have seen our goalies lifted between periods more often than not. In their defense - they also are young and playing behind a team that is prone to mistakes in their own end. Hard to gain confidence in the current scenario.
European draft - last year we had no import players on the team. Contrary to the opinion of a certain loud mouthed CBC colour commentator - this had nothing to do with Patriotic reasons - there simply were no players available when the ICE picked to justify the expense. I feel so badly for our remaining Euro this year, Jakub Prochazka. He is a 4th line player at best and has been a healthy scratch several times. He skates miles when he's out there, but never seems to be in the play. I'd be surprised if he's still here by Christmas. Hopefully I'm wrong and he'll blossom into another Svatos, Svoboda or Blatny.
Veteran players - the absence of Drew Czerwonka is a huge blow....I wish him well in his future endeavors. I feel sort of guilty in that I expected so much from Sam Reinhart this year - he's only 17. Yet I believe he has the potential to be a superstar in this league. He is still our number one centre by far and it's become easier for other teams to key on his line. Brock Montgomery has been outstanding - I just hope he doesn't fell the need to fight too much - if he breaks a hand....we are in deep trouble. I also expected more from Joey Leach - as a 20 year old Defenseman with his size and ability, he plays a very "quiet": game - I expected a much more dominating performance from him this year. Other team's players should be afraid to enter our end when he's on the ice!
All in all, I think we are in for a trying year. That doesn't mean it won't be entertaining....we have speed to burn and a plethora of talented young kids. More specialty team work is needed though - our power play leaves a lot to be desired. Attendance worries me - if we had trouble attracting numbers when we were winning championships.....what will the crowds (and I use the term loosely) look like this year? I just know that I'll be there - cheering on the boys each night - asking only a solid effort and continuing improvement.
Go ICE GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
cheers, DeeJay

THE PERFECT ICE STORM brewing. When old school lock horns with new gen something has to give. Here's what i see going down. One player gone others will follow suite. Its the way of the new gen. It happened throughout the league this year already as many 18-20yr olds didn't return to there teams this fall. Old school is great but if you don't win the guys over>>> She's Over, Figure it out soon. This team is very good! Anyone who knows hockey can see that.

Here is one reason I feel attendance is down. Hotshots leaving after 12 seasons. Ice boosted the rent and forced them out. We have a lot of older fans and when you take one of their last comforts away it is too much.
- November 4, 2012 at 8:52 PM
The team has nothing to do with their rent. The City does. Same with the concessions.
- November 5, 2012 at 7:39 AM
Attendance has always been a problem the past few years,off and on. Last year was a great attendance year because we won the WHL championship in 2011. This year, obviously some people don't feel like attending during the 'rebuilding phase'. Unfortunate but that's how it is. Your diehard faithful will stick it out during this rebuilding phase to watch this team develop into an awesome challenging team in 2 or 3 years. I hope the ICE faithful hang in there. On another note, I've encountered many people such as ELL who are under the impression that the ICE set the rental prices for Hotshots, concessions, etc. I've also had people tell me how irritated they are to pay $2.00 to park so that the ICE get $2.00 more on top of the price they pay for tickets. Let's be clear here: the ICE don't set the rent for any tenants at Western Financial Place nor do they get any of the rent money that other tenants pay. The ICE pay rent like any other tenant. They don't get the parking fee money; the City does. Western Financial Place is owned by the City; the City fixes the rent and the City gets all rent money, including what the ICE pay. The City gets the parking fees. The ICE are a tenant paying rent to play at Western Financial Place. It is a business run like any other business. They have expenses like any other business. I think there is a misconception out there that the ICE somehow make more money than just the money they make from ticket sales; that is whatever money is left over after the expenses of running a hockey team. Time to set the record straight. This season ticket holder intends to stick with the team, through thick and thin, and when the young stars on this team become big stars, I will feel proud and privileged that I was there to see it. GO ICE GO!!
- November 5, 2012 at 10:02 AM
As a parent of a current Ice player, I appreciate the fans that DO go to the games regardless of the numbers. I have had the pleasure of speaking with a number of season ticket holders who support and cheer on these young men game after game. THANK YOU. This is a tough year for everyone so far, hang in there fans.

It is still fun to be at the games and support our boys. My family has season tickets and we cheer on the ICE and enjoy ourselves at the games. My kids just participated in the Pepsi Kids club activity - skating with the ICE on Wednesday night and so loved it. They said it was the best one yet. They talked to the Ice players, skated with them and laughed with them. We have a good group of boys and we need to be there to support them through ups and downs!! Go ICE Go!!
- November 8, 2012 at 8:23 PM
My family will also be at every game no matter where we are in the standings, besides every team has their ups & downs eventually. I wouldn't even mind a couple of last place finishes, just imagine what our prospect pool would look like with these next couple of draft years being quite deep (hello Oilers).But a video scoreboard would sure be cool.
- November 9, 2012 at 10:40 AM
Season in the balance this weekend with Brandon. Anything less than 5-6 games winning streak now means no playoffs. Don't squander the games in hand boys! Go Ice Go.
- November 16, 2012 at 5:24 PM
I agree! But we need help. Bring on Inglis. Ya you heard me.

Adam Kimmel doesn't get a lot of attention on our Updates, but that isn't really for any good reason. I think that each season the collection looks quite nice, from the concepts to the execution. The garments are nicely made, not overdone for the most part, and there are always some interesting details. Along with the recent Carhartt collaboration, some of his new items have arrived in Sweden for the season.

Join the party. Zumba is the new dance craze sweeping the UK that promises to be so much fun that you won't even realise you're working out. Fusing hypnotic Latin rhythms with easy-to-follow moves, Zumba is a one of a kind dance class designed to burn calories and get the energy pumping round your body.
There are no pre-requisites to Zumba, just bring yourself and a whole bunch of energy (you'll be needing it) to move your body to salsa, merengue, cumbia, reggeaton, mambo, cha-cha, hip hop and even belly dancing. The hour long class aims to combine fast and slow rhythms with resistance training to tone and sculpt your body while burning fat.
Zumba is taught in a completely different way from a regular dance class with mini routines to learn rather than the slow process of learning one big dance. The idea behind Zumba is to get you fit 'accidentally', with each class feeling more like a carnival than an exercise session. The atmosphere encourages the positivity and energy to spread through the group like wildfire and is said to transform tired and glum participants into energetic, happy party people after just a few minutes.
The Zumba craze is out to get everyone hooked with Zumba Gold classes specifically designed for those over the age of 70 (you can even do Zumba in a chair), special Zumba classes for children and even Aqua Zumba which combines Zumba with aqua aerobics.
With Zumba there are no complicated moves to learn and you don't need the co-ordination of a pro – or the partner you'd require for a traditional salsa class, so you can go it alone and make new friends or even go as a group and make it a fun night out.
Zumba was created by complete fluke when fitness trainer Beto Perez accidentally forgot his aerobics music and had to improvise with the tapes he had in his car: traditional salsa and merengue.

After nearly a month with the 2013 Dodge Journey with the touchscreen Uconnect 8.4 the jury is in. And the verdict is its guilty. Guilty of being one of the easiest stereos to use, and some of the best sound quality available outside of building your own system. With the package on the Journey SXT, the Dodge is a jukebox on wheels. The Uconnect interface mated to 6 Alpine speakers and a 368 watt amplifier. The head unit can play a variety of media types. In the dash there is an SD card reader, and a CD/DVD slot. In the center arm rest is a hidden USB and 3.5mm headphone jack. The USB can recognize phones as well as thumb drives or USB hard drives. With the MP3s in the correct format the CD cover and song information is displayed on the screen.
The Uconnect is available across the entire lineup of Chrysler Dodge and Jeep. Each one is a little different, not only between makes but models as well. The Uconnect is arguably the most advanced in-dash infotainment system on the market. Aside from all the music abilities for controlling music, movies, and removable storage devices. In performance models it can also be used to monitor air temperature and other performance factors for the SRT lineup. Before if you wanted most of this information you had to either install aftermarket gauges or a bluetooth OBD2 port reader. Now you get to keep a complete stock look.
With available navigation, back up camera, and in vehicle WiFi hot spot. The factory radio has a laundry list of peripherals previously only available to aftermarket head units. With Uconnect bluetooth is a standard feature for making calls and streaming music as well.
With the help of an aftermarket adapter Coastal LockPick C8 you can unlock so many extras the factory does not allow. Features like watching video while driving by tricking the radio into thinking you are going 0-MPH. You can also add rear cameras without needing to have the dealer reprogram your stereo. This also opens the ability to play video from mobile devices as well as removable memory. The kicker is all these features are available from the menu screen that is already installed in the middle of the factory dash cluster and adds access to the LockPick menu from the buttons on your steering wheel.
As with any item that "unlocks" the hidden potential of your electronics be it cell phones, tablets, car stereo,s or home computers. Keep in mind that the Uconnect is linked directly in the vehicles "brain" and has access to the hidden diagnostic tools the dealer can access from your stereo. The touchscreen is also where you change all of your stereo inputs, control the heat and air conditioning for all three zones in your vehicle(SUV's and van's). It also controls your navigation, bluetooth, garage door openers and many other things. So if you hack your stereo exercise caution.
My first impression for this stereo after a brief 3 weeks of use are as follows. The sound quality is impeccable, and with the sub-woofer and amplifier the bass is fantastic and I have felt no desire to add AEM speakers. Bluetooth works perfect for making and taking calls, but sometimes there are slight hiccups when connecting the iPhone 5 for streaming music. Once connected it is seamless. A free years Sirius satellite radio subscription is seriously competing for play time with my podcast addiction(pun intended). Changing through all the menus with the buttons on the front and rear of the steering wheel is intuitive and makes sense. Talking to the stereo to make it change apps or find a specific song or artist is awkward and has a learning curve to get used to talking to no one as well as the key phrases to access your media. The stereo is great, user-friendly and looks amazing. With the DVD player I am looking forward to a drive in date one night with the wifey.

|Here are some details about my project:
|Cute, Traditional, Classic, Casual
What materials did you use? Black Chevron Pattern Upholstery Fabric exterior, Purple and Gold Printed Cotton Interior, Coarse Weave Purple Upholstery Fabric for Covered Buttons and Carrying Strap, Green/Purple Handmade Polymer Clay Beads to decorate faux placket/tab closure with velcro dots, and secondary magnetic snap. Purple cord trim for couching detail.
What are you most proud of? MISTAKES: I made a mis-step, placing the magnetic snap too high on the flap front. The problem was the front flap would not hug the body of the purse. What a blessing--that mistake led to adding a faux placket tab closure with a dot of velcro (hook and loop tape) and now the front purse flap hugs the body of the purse when closed. Adding a faux placket gave me an opportunity to decorate with colorful fabric covered buttons, and decorative polymer beads. So there. Mistakes are always welcomed--and most of the time leads to better results. Couched purple cord inside and outside of the purse paired well with purple coarse weave carrying strap. Overall, I'm pleased with the results.
What advice would you give someone starting this project? I'm in the habit now of padding all my bags and purses. Padding gives the purse/tote better shape, and protects valuable electronic devices on board. The layer of padding makes seams more durable, and won't come apart. Sometimes I upcycle baby crib bumper pads from Goodwill, (washed, deconstructed) for FIRM padding in Kindle and ipad sized totes. Other times I like to use polar fleece for padding--it is not as firm, but adds a lot of body. My favorite padded linings are printed cotton fabrics backed with a layer of polar fleece and I free motion quilt the two together. Wonderful results. Give it a try!
Dear Shoestring: I am loving all the bags you have posted. They must sell as soon as you post them because I cannot find any on the Etsy site! Are you thinking of selling patterns for any of your bags? Or posting instructions? I just love what you are doing with all the interior pockets and some of the hidden pockets - just up my daughter's alley. Do you have a blog? And if so, where can I find it, please?
Dear arthritic mama. I didn't have much luck with traffic on Etsy last fall, so I have't been showing my work there for a while. However, locally I sell my bags and they are selling like crazy. I do have a blog--where I have some tutorials on covering lampshades, making bags, installing piping on pillows, etc., but mostly my website/blog contains 500+ photos and notes about a five year journey restoring our 1893 victorian farmhouse. Just google 1893 victorian farmhouse and you will find me. I am also a portrait and still life artist for a beezillion years, and enjoy handpainting furniture. Currently I am working on another website/blog about my handbags and totes--where I will post photos and steps how I create them. http://millstreetstudio.blogspot.com/ If you and your daughter want to come visit me and teach me about prettying up my handbag website, and how to use PDF Pro 10 software I bought (to create patterns)--I will gladly trade to give you lessons, room, board, and my techniques for making polymer clay beads, hidden purse pockets, in my 800 sq. ft. studio. You see, I'm an old dog--and I've been sewing for 50 plus years. I know lots about sewing, and nearly nothing about computers, software--which is a struggle for me. I just need someone to teach me how to do the computer stuff.
Oh, Shoestring, I would love to take you up on your offer!! I, too, am an "old dog", and just retired in December of 2012. My daughter is the computer expert and setter-up of all things computer. She probably knows all about PDF Pro 10, or some earlier version of it. She would also love to learn how to make polymer clay beads, and it is on her list of things to do. We both love Victorian houses, too. However, we live out here in the wild, wild west in CA, and at my age, with my health problems, I do not travel well. However, I might be able to talk my daughter into it at a future date. She is currently finishing her engineering classes and is about to finish up her night job putting the local paper to bed at night [She also worked at the Denver Post prior to it's demise, so she does do the computer publishing stuff!]. Anyway, I checked out your house blog - Wow! - you guys are really putting a beautiful house back on it's feet. I am impressed. I will forward this stuff to my daughter, so she can read it between school and finishing up her night job. She is a traveler, so you never know!!! Thanks for sending me to your blogs, and I will keep following you to see how things are coming along.
Dear arthritic mama. I would love to meet your daugther. Sorry to hear you can't make it. Nonetheless, let's keep in touch. Lucky woman you are to have a daughter! I'm jealous. I may keep her, you know. Ha. Ha.
Absolutely beautiful. Wish you lived by me!! Love your work. Thank you for sharing.

But What Do the Shower Curtains Look Like?
In a salacious bit of real-estate porn, the WSJ reports this morning that jailed former Tyco CEO Dennis Kozlowski has listed his Nantucket estate for $23 million.
Koz needs the cash. Convicted of looting Tyco, Kozlowski was ordered to pay $167 million in fines and restitution. According to the Manhattan DA's office, he's raised $105.8 million thus far via art and real estate sales. In May, a Monet and a Renoir that had belonged to him sold for a combined $7.8 million at auction. This week, a three-bedroom condo he owns in Beaver Creek, Colo., went to contract for $1.25 million. And we reported earlier this month that he's spent more than $25 million in legal fees in his two criminal trials (his first ended in mistrial).
Local brokers tell the Journal that if the property fetches that price, it would set a record for the island. The property borders conservation land and has a three-bedroom, 7,000-square-foot, shingle-style main house and a guest cottage, studio and garage. In 1997, Kozlowski paid $5 million for the house.
Kozlowski is serving an 8 1/3-to-25 year sentence at the Mid-State Correctional Facility in Marcy, N.Y. He was moved there last month from the maximum-security Downstate Correctional Facility in Fishkill, N.Y., under a new New York state policy that permits non-violent inmates in protective custody to be considered for medium-security facilities.

SAN JOSE -- In the wake of a string of gang killings, including a 16-year-old boy in broad daylight, the San Jose Police Department plans to resurrect its dedicated gang-suppression team as the cornerstone of a plan to quell what could be a turbulent summer in the city.
Police brass announced Friday the launch of a three-phase plan starting this weekend with the saturation of gang-plagued neighborhoods, followed by an ongoing increase in regular gang patrols. The department plans to recreate an anti-gang unit, a duty currently shared between the special-enforcement METRO and MERGE (SWAT) teams.
Each year street gangs are responsible for nearly half of the city's homicides and a large share of violent crime.
"Obviously as a department it's our job to reduce crime across the board. But the specifics of some of the gang homicides and assaults that we're seeing, and some of the feedback we're getting from the community, there's definitely a sense of urgency," police spokesman Sgt. Jason Dwyer said.
The department successfully employed a similar strategy two years ago, when the homicide count reached 26 for the first half of the year, 14 of them attributed to gangs. Then-Police Chief Chris Moore ordered METRO -- tasked with gangs, drug dealing and other vice crimes -- to focus on "all gangs, all the time," blanketing gang hot spots with patrols, conducting impromptu probation searches on gang members and more closely tracking gang patterns.
That year ended with 41 homicides, but there were no gang-related homicides during the summer.
This year is similar: The city had recorded 25 homicides as of Friday, eight of them gang-related. The city is on pace to exceed last year's 46 homicides, a two-decade high.
The new tactics can't come fast enough. As acting Chief Larry Esquivel and his top brass were finalizing their plan Thursday, 16-year-old Manuel Urzoua died after being beaten and shot in the head in a brazen daylight gang attack the day before near King and Story roads.
Adding to the public anxiety over city violence is that at least two of the year's gang slayings involved victims with no gang ties who were targeted at random. Gregorio Ogana, 56, was viciously stabbed to death in the twilight hours of June 13 by three alleged gang members in front of his Checkers Drive home in East San Jose as he returned from completing a swing shift.
Police say the three suspects, including a 17-year-old, were looking to rob somebody and that Ogana had the bad luck of crossing their paths.
"He is a legitimate victim. Upstanding citizen, loving husband, hard worker, well liked," said Officer Albert Morales, also a police spokesman.
The same went for 44-year-old Donald Harvey, who was stabbed to death Jan. 24 in the driveway of an apartment complex on Southside Drive off Senter Road by four gang members, one them also 17 years old.
These cases, both of which have yielded arrests, are particularly troubling to residents because they strike at the heart of many people's public-safety worries -- that even if you keep a healthy distance from risky situations like gang life, violence still might find you.
"It strikes fear in our community," Morales said. "It's senseless violence."
This weekend won't be the Police Department's first surge against gangs this year: In response to six homicides occurring in the last week of May, 50 extra officers flooded gang neighborhoods the following weekend to quell fomenting tensions.
The first phase of the new plan calls for the deployment of 20 extra two-person gang patrol units along with detectives from the gang investigations unit. All the officers will be working overtime. Police say the plan calls for an additional 40 to 45 officers deployed throughout the week.
By August, the department plans to create a gang-suppression unit to be on the streets during peak hours seven days a week, focusing on performing high-visibility enforcement against gangs. Three years ago the department cut its Violent Crime Enforcement Team, whose sole focus was suppressing gang violence.
The new strategy is ambitious given the Police Department is sorely undermanned following a years-long exodus of officers via resignations and early retirements amid pay cuts and an acrimonious pension-reform fight. There are just under 1,100 officers in the department -- a far cry from more than 1,400 four years ago -- with about 900 available for full duty.
"It all looks like a very reasonable approach that the chief is taking, given the relatively limited resources he's got to work with. He's deploying them in the most effective way possible," Mayor Chuck Reed said.
Sgt. Jim Unland, president of the San Jose Police Officers' Association, agreed that the plan is a nimble response, but expressed concern about exhausting officers already stretched thin in their day jobs.
"The chief is doing the best he can with what he has," Unland said. "I don't know how long we can expect to keep this Band-Aid fix with overtime. At some point you just hit a wall."

You do have to question Fergie's selections yet again. Why wasn't Hernandez given a proper game? Is Fergie determined to drive him out?
Why Buttner when he had Kagawa or Scholes?
Why Giggs at all?
What about Petrucci, Tunnicliffe or the Belgian in midfield? No wonder people move on; they don't see any chances appearing.

Rafael /Evra ,cannot defend always out of position .buttner will never be good enough .rooney is no midfielder.
Most of our central defenders are wooden, no midfield Utd dont tackle,,always stand off,..

U.S. Olympics Fans Find Sochi Locals Warmer Than Expected
American fans visiting Sochi for the Olympics are being targeted by locals—for photos, that is.
After security concerns dominated the news leading up to the Games, many Americans in attendance say they feel safe enough to wear their Team USA garb within the security perimeter of the Olympic Park. And some who do say they are being bombarded with photo requests.
"I feel like a celebrity here almost, because everywhere we go, people want to take pictures with us and our flags," said Jason Burchard of Dallas, who wore a USA Hockey jersey and carried a large American flag into Thursday's U.S.-Slovakia men's hockey game. As he spoke outside the Shayba Arena, a Russian woman interrupted him and asked for a photo with him.
"It's incredible," he said. "I'm not worried at all. You stand out, but everyone just wants to take a picture with you."
During the game, a 7-1 win for the U.S., there were more than a dozen American flags in the stands and many more fans wearing Team USA garb. Tyler Post, 41, of Sacramento, Calif., had an entire stars-and-stripes ensemble, from his bell-bottom pants to his red, white and blue hat.
During the second intermission, there were so many Russians who wanted to take pictures with him that a small line formed next to him in the arena concourse. He said the outfit was a gift from his mother.
"My mom is a seamstress," Post said. "She's like, 'What do you want?' I'm like, 'Give me something funky.' I said, 'Give me bell-bottoms.' She said, 'How big?' I said, 'As big as you can get them.' It's been fun."
To be sure, security concerns linger. Post said he was hesitant to wear the outfit and didn't put it on until he got inside the secure zone of the Olympic Park. Bud Kling, 66, of Pacific Palisades, Calif., took the same approach with his USA hockey jersey.
"There's no reason to wear a USA shirt outside," he said. "Who cares? It can't do you any good. It can only be harmful."
Kling said he rented a room in a house just outside the coastal cluster so he could avoid taking trains and buses, which he thought would be less safe. But he added, "Now that I'm here, I wouldn't be quite so leery."
Standing outside the arena with Burchard, fellow Texas native Will Pearson said, "You're losing out if you didn't come here because you were scared."

1 can cream of mushroom soup
diced jalepeno's to taste
Melt in a large pan, stirring, until smooth. If it is too runny, add more velveeta.
That's it.
This is a variation of the first dip in this thread. It is really delicious and makes a lot. Great for parties.

Here is our very favorite Mexican dip. It is wonderful served with tortilla chips (we like the Scoopers) or a baked potato. I make a huge crockpot full every holiday and there is never any left. I am happy to share this recipe.
Gunpowder Dip
1 pound ground beef
1 regular size jar picante sauce (we use the mild, but you can use the hotter one)
1 1-pound loaf of Velveeta cheese
3 Tablespoons chili powder (yes, 3 T. is right)
Brown ground beef and drain well of excess grease. Add undiluted can of soup and jar of picante sauce. Cut up chunks of velveeta cheese and let melt in. Add the chili powder and let simmer a little while so flavors can blend together. Serve warm. For parties, I just serve it in the crockpot and everyone can take out what they want. Re-heats well.
If anyone tries this and likes it, please let me know!

By now pretty much everyone knows I'm not the biggest fan of the Brooklyn Nets logo. I'll admit that, despite my regard for the execution of the logo(s), the approach and strategy are right on cue, if a little too hip-hop for its own good — feelings captured ever so by this "Open" that plays across the arena during player introductions at home games. Created by Los Angeles, CA-based TheFamousGroup with an original song, called "Brooklyn" (what else?), by ex-Fugee John Forté, "The film adheres to the Nets' iconic black & white branding, shot entirely in b&w and featuring players dressed in white shirts and black suits and ties." Kinda catchy and cool, although at points it's hard to remember if you are watching an ad for an NBA team or a men's fashion line. You can see a full-screen optimized version here.

The Bees took cup holders Chelsea to a replay following a 2-2 draw at Griffin Park, and then held the European champions for 54 minutes on Sunday before eventually going down 4-0.
Rosler's side will come back down to earth next weekend when they host Walsall.
They are currently a point outside the play-off spots and just three shy of the automatic promotion spots, and Rosler hopes their displays against the Blues can spur them to success during the run-in.
The Bees boss said: "My players can be very proud of the way they represented our colours.
"Our players can see they can compete collectively against top opposition.
"They can take confidence because they have performed to a very high level over two games."
