As the old saying goes, actions speak louder than words, and Pavel Datsyuk's actions in his hometown speak volumes about his character.
Some guys just get it. Pavel Datsyuk, the superstar of few words, has taken a couple weeks out of his summer for the past three years to give back to the community and provide a lucky group of kids with a unique hockey school experience.

It's a whole new season with many things to look forward to, so here are three teams this author is looking forward to seeing in action.
The final green has been played (even if it was a three-putt), the final out has been made (even if our team was blown out of the park) and the final bonfire has been slayed (by the fall rain, unfortunately).

Just when you thought the summer of Ilya Kovalchuk was over, the NHL decided to fine the Devils; and why Roberto Luongo is not to blame.
Usually Labor Day marks the end of summer; the temperature always seems to suddenly dip and a chill starts to tingle the air the following week.

Coming up on his third anniversary at The Hockey News, the author looks back at memorable times from NHL dressing rooms and beyond.
They say time flies when you're having fun, so when I take a moment to stop and smell the roses it's hard for me to realize I've been at THN for nearly three years now, but easy to recognize it's because I've had an absolute blast.

With the amount of upstart goalies making waves, it's easy to look past the traditional big names. However, those big names can still push the right buttons.
In the past three Stanley Cup finals, Marc-Andre Fleury, Chris Osgood, Antti Niemi and Michael Leighton were the starring goalies. Not exactly a collection that would rival a Patrick Roy-Martin Brodeur showdown.

As we near training camps, the smell of NHL hockey is back in the air, so we are starting to look forward to a few performances.
In a recent THN Puck Panel, colleague John Grigg and I discussed two sophomores each whom we thought were going to have improved seasons. Aside from the obvious choices of John Tavares and Matt Duchene, I went with Jamie Benn of the Stars and Artem Anisimov of the Rangers, while John picked James van Riemsdyk of the Flyers and went a little off the board with Brandon Yip of the Avalanche.

Ilya Kovalchuk's 17-year deal with New Jersey wasn't the first constructed to work around the salary cap, but it was the most egregious by far.
During the next few days you might hear how the ruling by independent arbitrator Richard Bloch on Ilya Kovalchuk's contract was a shocking decision.
by Rory Boylen - August 3, 2010 3:00 PM UTC
The Hawks have made many moves to get under the cap, but is losing Antti Niemi the first that will impact the regular season?
For the most part, I think the impact the moves Chicago has been forced to make this off-season has been over-analyzed and that when the puck drops again in October the Blackhawks will continue to be a dominant team in the Western Conference.
by Rory Boylen - July 20, 2010 1:30 PM UTC
The Hurricanes franchise has made a habit of inconsistency, which is why they can't be taken lightly in making predictions.
Take your eyes off the NHL regular season or even the off-season for a split-second and there's always at least one franchise that surprises you.
by Rory Boylen - July 13, 2010 3:15 PM UTC
Even in a cap crunch, the Bruins still have the mix to take a run at the Cup and trading their best offensive asset would only hurt those chances.
The Boston Bruins have 18 players under contract, less than $2 million in cap space and Blake Wheeler and Gregory Campbell heading to arbitration in the near future.
by Rory Boylen - June 15, 2010 7:30 AM UTC
Drafted by the L.A. Kings the same year he was picked by the Braves, the soon-to-be Hall of Famer never lost his puck love.
It's one of hockey's strange tales. Back in 1984, a little-known left-hander from Massachusetts was selected in the fourth round (69th overall) by the Los Angeles Kings, the same year he was picked in the second round (47th overall), by the Atlanta Braves.
by Rory Boylen - June 8, 2010 1:40 PM UTC
One look at the Flyers and Blackhawks reveals that top-tier goalies can be overvalued. It also begs the question: Why buy when you can build?
If the Philadelphia Flyers and Chicago Blackhawks have proven anything this season, it's that you don't have to know in October who your starter will be in April to be a successful club.

Making the Outsiders-Welfare Connection: How the Otherization of Welfare Affects Public Opinion on Social Assistance in the US and UK
Rayna Flye
University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA)
April 1, 2010
This paper addresses the relationship between diversity and public support for welfare, with the question: is support for the welfare state in the US and UK dependent upon who the perceived recipients are? I specifically examine whether negative attitudes towards out-groups (minorities) coupled with the belief that these groups disproportionately and undeservedly receive welfare benefits leads to a decrease in public support for welfare. This is done through the use of ANES and ESS survey data. I further argue that this is a message that citizens are receiving from the media and entrepreneurial politicians. This finding is reinforced by previously conducted content analysis of newspapers and tabloids. I refer to this coupling of welfare with out-groups, or Others, as the Otherization of Welfare. This paper examines not only race, but ethnicity, religion, and citizenship status as well.
Keywords: welfare, race, ethnicity, United States, United Kingdom

Imitation Ages: Birth to 2 months Hold your new baby on your lap. While looking closely at her, stick out your tongue about 10 times slowly and see if she answers back by sticking her tongue out at you. If it works, this may be one of the only times that you will enjoy having someone stick their tongue out at you! Or try opening your mouth wide about 10 times slowly and see if your baby can do that. It is exciting to know that your newborn is already able to mimic your actions, thereby communicating with you.
Note: Did not know this! Going to try it in Sept!

6 killed, 1 wounded in Thailand's violent south
PATTANI, Thailand Police say suspected militants have killed six people and severely wounded another in coordinated attacks in Thailand's insurgency-plagued south.
Pol. Col. Satanfah Wamasing says five security volunteer personnel were killed by a roadside bomb Friday morning in Narathiwat province. They were traveling to where a rubber tapper had been shot dead earlier in the day and the bomb was detonated when they passed. Police say another security volunteer was severely wounded in the attack.
Narathiwat is one of three Muslim-dominated southern provinces in Thailand. More than 4,700 people have been killed in the sub-region since an Islamist insurgency erupted in 2004.

EGUSD's Commitment to Service Learning Honored
Students can join community service projects while learning key academic concepts in the Elk Grove Unified School District.
The combined curriculum – called service learning – is gaining praise and recognition. The District's service learning program will be honored Dec. 1 with a Golden Bell Award at the annual California School Boards Association awards luncheon.
Last spring, the Elk Grove Unified School District's Board of Education adopted a board policy to strengthen service learning. The program was instituted in 2003, assisted by a CalService grant. The first schools to participate were Calvine High School and Arthur C. Butler Elementary.
At Calvine High School, students test the water in their local creek and maintain a research database. They participate in habitat restoration at the regional national wildlife refuge, returning areas to their pre-European contact land configurations. Student volunteers help first graders learn to read and create historical videos to document the history of their local areas. After each learning component, students reflect in written work, blogs and other projects. Projects have included comparisons of the economics of land use decisions, student contributions to local and regional communities, and the importance of citizen participation.
"These standard-based projects enhance participation and learning, and result in greater academic success, along with heightened satisfaction in school attendance and participation in community based projects," said Calvine teacher and service learning coordinator Tony Lederer.
Butler Elementary now has about 25 classes involved with service learning. At Butler, third graders are working on a "Salmon in the Classroom" project. Fifth and sixth grade classes are making buddy books and activity books for children staying at Sutter Memorial Hospital. A fourth grade class is working with a small group of sixth grade students to grow browse for the Sacramento Zoo. Another class is working with Lennar Homes to develop the vernal pools behind the camps. The second grade is leading several classes in the Seed-to-Seedling program. Sixth grade students are running "Coats for Kids" and a "Cards for Soldiers" campaign. The school has an environmental club to help set up environmental service projects.
These are just two examples of the service learning programs at EGUSD schools.
Each year, the service learning program expands throughout the district. An estimated 9,000 students were involved with service learning projects during the past school year. Additionally, approximately 118 students earned the Presidential Award for Service through their service learning projects. The following schools participated in the district's service learning program during the 2006-2007 school year:
Arnold Adreani Elementary School Arthur C. Butler Elementary School
Foulks Ranch Elementary School Roy Herburger Elementary School
Arlene Hein Elementary School Herman Leimbach Elementary School
Barbara Comstock Morse Elementary School David Reese Elementary School
Stone Lake Elementary School Mary Tsukamoto Elementary School
Harriet Eddy Middle School Edward Harris, Jr. Middle School
James Rutter Middle School Elk Grove High School
Franklin High School Laguna Creek High School
Monterey Trail High School Pleasant Grove High School
Sheldon High School Calvine High School
Elk Grove Unified has partnered with many community organizations to provide volunteer opportunities for students in service learning programs. These community partners fund 62 percent of the program. They include:
California Waterfowl Association
Cosumnes River Preserve
Elk Grove Historical Society
Florin Resource Conservation District
Laguna Creek Watershed Council
Sacramento River Cats Baseball Organization
Stone Lakes National Wildlife Refuge
For more information on Elk Grove Unified's service learning program, please visit: www.egusd.net/calserve. The website has information about community partners, features individual projects, provides access to forms for teachers and provides information on service learning to the community.

text: The vast majority of us stayed dry today as drier air filtered in behind the cold front that sparked the showers and thunderstorms we saw yesterday and overnight. There are still some scattered storms over the very Southern fringe of the viewing area down in Wayne and Southern Choctaw Counties, but as those storms are moving North, they are moving into drier air and fizzling out. We did officially hit the 90 degree mark at Key Field this afternoon, and it is just the first of many 90+ degree days ahead. An upper ridge and surface High Pressure are currently taking over and that's going to keep afternoon showers from forming for just about the rest of the week. The very wet soil will keep dewpoints up, and while that means I think we'll stay in the low to mid 90s instead of mid to upper 90s each afternoon, extra moisture will be added to the air through evaporation and that will take the heat index over 100 just about every afternoon in the foreseeable future. The forecast for the next 7 days is pretty easy, but there is one question. As we sit on the Eastern edge of High Pressure centered over the Plains, we are on what's called the "Ring of Fire." There is clockwise circulation around High Pressure, and it looks like by Thursday afternoon a pulse of energy will be circulating around the High and coming right over us. That pulse of energy, plus a very unstable atmosphere could mean some strong to severe storms Thursday afternoon into Thursday night. While the models aren't picking up on this idea a whole lot yet, I've seen it happen numerous times before during the summer months, and am pretty confident that we'll see it happen later this week, so I have added a chance of storms into the forecast for Thursday. Of course, that's still 3 days out, so we'll have to wait and see, but expect it to be hot and humid each day no matter what!

Frisco police driving while intoxicated
Under normal circumstances, I probably would have ignored this press release just sent to us from Frisco's finest. But the title sure got my attention: "FRISCO POLICE PARTICIPATE IN DRIVING WHILE INTOXICATED".
In fairness to the well meaning folks in the Frisco police department, the full, lawful explanation after the jump.
August 6, 2008 (Frisco TX.)
On July 6, Frisco Police Department concluded their third enforcement period for the Impaired Driving Mobilization (IDM) program. The program is a partnership with the Texas Department of Transportation and it provides funding for additional patrol officers to be on the street for the sole purpose of catching intoxicated drivers. Frisco Police made three DWI arrests as a result of officers' work in the program this period, and have made a total of 9 DWI arrests on the year. This is Frisco's first year of participation in the program and hope to obtain more funds next year to expand the number of patrols conducted.
The next enforcement period is set to take place August 15 – September 1 for the Labor Day weekend

Did you know that …
About Half of the Country's Local Government Units are in Luzon
(FS-200604-PP2-01, posted 27 April 2006)
As of March 31, 2006, the Philippines had 17 regions, 79 provinces, 117 cities, 1,501 municipalities and 41,982 barangays. About half of these local government units (LGUs) are located in Luzon, which is the largest island in the country.
As the largest island in the country, Luzon has 8 regions, 37 provinces, 57 cities, 690 municipalities and 20,057 barangays, accounting for 47% of the regions and provinces, 49% of the cities, 46% of the municipalities and 48% of the barangays in the country. Visayas has 3 regions, 17 provinces, 33 cities, 399 municipalities and 11,875 barangays while Mindanao has 6 regions, 25 provinces, 27 cities, 412 municipalities and 10,050 barangays.
During the first quarter of 2006, two more barangays were created, namely Barangay Tumana in Marikina City, NCR and Barangay Ligue in Lumbatan, Lanao del Sur, ARMM. Barangay Tumana was created out of mother barangay Concepcion Uno in pursuant to City Ordinance No. 70 Series of 2005, which was ratified through a plebiscite conducted by the COMELEC on March 4, 2006. On the other hand, Barangay Ligue was created out of mother barangay Pantar in the Municipality of Lumbatan in pursuant to Muslim Mindanao Autonomy Act No. 79 dated 27 October 1998, which was ratified through a plebiscite conducted by the COMELEC on March 25, 2006.

This was The Beatles' first performance at Liverpool Jazz Society on Temple Street, Liverpool.
The Liverpool Jazz Society was based at the former Iron Door Club at 13 Temple Street. The events were promoted by Sam Leach, who promoted a number of shows in venues across the Merseyside area.
The event took place from 7.30pm to midnight. The Beatles were second on the bill to headliners Gerry and the Pacemakers. Also appearing were Rory Storm and the Hurricanes, The Big Three, Kingsize Taylor and the Dominoes, and Derry and the Seniors.
The Beatles played at Liverpool Jazz Society on five occasions, all within the same month. The other dates were 11, 13, 15 and 17 March 1961. They had also played at the Iron Door Club as The Silver Beetles on 15 May 1960.
The club was renamed the Storyville Jazz Club in 1962, and The Beatles played there on 1, 8 and 15 March that year. By the end of 1962 the club reverted to being known as the Iron Door Club.

Public Defender
Average Salary: $51,190
Expected Lifetime Earnings: $2,137,000
Don't lease the BMW or buy Italian suits just yet, Esquire. Being a public defender is on the lower end of the lawyer pay spectrum. Assistants start at around $40k and ones with a few years of experience can make $100k annually. Depending on your situation, you will get paid by the hour or have a salary. Either way, you're getting paid by the government (which is having some budget issues lately). Don't expect too much.
It's not about the money. If you wanted money, you could get into real estate law or represent people who want to sue sue sue! Being a public defender lets you get experience working under some of the toughest conditions in the legal system. And you also have the chance to ensure the civil rights of Americans. You should work for free!
Okay, maybe not free…but being a public servant is not necessarily going to be what makes you the big bucks…at first. If you are content to hone your craft, prove yourself as a hard worker, and build a positive reputation, you will have no problem paying the bills in the future. Today it's hamburgers, tomorrow filet mignon. Learn your craft so you can become a sought-after defense attorney who rakes in big bucks, has an army of other lawyers working under her, and stars in a commercial.

debt = slavery
we need to write about slavery so people will be reminded of what it really is. get over the idea that slavery was abolished. slavery is exploitation of some people by other people. it goes against liberty.
in slavery, people often become financial assets to other people. also, your debt is a financial asset to someone. debt is what it feels like: slavery. people can try to avoid it, but they don't always succeed. the kind of slavery where you get physically kidnapped and forced to work is only different in application, not in principle, to the kind where you are born owing money — or where prices and standards of living are skewed so as to force you to borrow.
really, any action that constrains someone's natural freedom is an application of slavery. this includes, in my opinion, laws restricting migration of people from place to place.

Bridge to Terabithia
by Katherine Paterson
Bridge to Terabithia Transformation Quotes
How we cite our quotes: Citations follow this format: (Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #4
Terabithia was their secret, which was a good thing, for how could Jess have ever explained it to an outsider? Just walking down the hill toward the woods made something warm and liquid steal through his body. (4.139)
The act of going to Terabithia has the same physical effect on Jess that drawing does. Whenever he does either of them, he feels "something warm" ("peace" [2.11]) "steal through his body." Maybe it's the mental challenge or use of imagination that's having a physical, calming effect. Maybe his body recognizes something's good for him before his mind can. Either way, despite what other people might think or say, Jess can feel the rightness of going to Terabithia, of drawing, and of moving outside himself.
Quote #5
Jess tried going to Terabithia alone, but it was no good. It needed Leslie to make the magic. He was afraid he would destroy everything by trying to force the magic on his own, when it was plain that the magic was reluctant to come for him. (7.2)
Halfway through the book, Jess still relies on Leslie to get to Terabithia. He thinks both he and Terabithia "need" her "to make the magic," and isn't yet confident enough that he can do it himself. While he's opened up enough to the possibility of seeing Terabithia and sharing in Leslie's creation of it, he doesn't think he can shape it on his own. His transformation into being a magic-wielder is only partially complete.
Quote #6
Leslie's eyes were sparkling. "Arise" – she barely swallowed a giggle – "arise, king of Terabithia, and let us proceed into our kingdom." (9.47)
Like she's knighting someone, Leslie confers magic and kingship on Jess. They both believe in it, and yet recognize the silliness too. When Leslie tells Jess he's the king, he becomes transformed into that king.

DOHA: Hamad Medical Corporation (HMC) and Weill Cornell Medical College in Qatar held a one-day course in essential principles and practices of biological safety in laboratory and clinical research.
More than 150 clinical, academic and research staff, including physicians, nurses, engineers, lab technicians and scientists, from Qatar's Academic Health System's (AHS) partner organisations.
The course was led by prominent biosafety trainer Professor Richard W Gilpin, Course Director of the Control of Biohazards Course, developed at Johns Hopkins University, the US, and now in its 35th year of delivery.
"The field of biosafety was developed in the 1940s in the US and the UK to raise awareness among those who work with hazardous micro-organisms. Biosafety principles are designed to protect workers and support staff, people in the laboratory and the building, and the general public," Prof Gilpin said.
"Training provided is important for all professionals working with micro-organisms, by promoting safe ways of working through identification of potential hazards and accident prevention.
"An important aspect of the training focuses on the basics of working in a laboratory: safe movements, types of gloves and protective clothing, proper hand washing techniques, and how to manage spills."
Professor Ramzi Mohamad, Director, HMC's Interim Translational Research Institute, and Head of Research, Division of Medicine, said: "The healthcare research culture in Qatar is developing rapidly, and HMC and AHS are playing a key role in its development. The course provides a vital foundation for healthcare professionals in biomedical research in Qatar to continue safe and effective research."
Participants had the opportunity to delve into biological safety concerns, including lab inquired infections, lab design criteria and primary barriers, risk management principles, laboratory practices and techniques, and decontamination and disinfection.

Skip to comments.How Sad: Caveman Congressman Alan Grayson Now Posting on Democratic Underground
Posted on 10/20/2010 2:10:47 PM PDT by Clint N. Suhks
Huff Po I can understand, Daily Kos is skirting the line, but Democratic Underground?!? Then again, this is Alan Grayson were talking about
(Excerpt) Read more at weaselzippers.us ...
Internal GOP Polls Show Caveman Congressman Alan Grayson Down 16 Points to Republican Challenger Dan Webster
He is just there because Kos wouldn't put out.
Is he still over there begging for money?
I wonder if he will be interacting using the same the nasty language they regularly use on that site if you can call it that. He should know the people on that site will vote for him he does not have to preach to that choir
I wonder if he will be interacting using the same the nasty language they regularly use on that site if you can call it that. He should know the people on that site will vote for him he does not have to preach to that choir
Who'd a thunk the Kos had any standards?
He's begging for the Baker Act to be used on him.
I must have missed the Grayson/Bill the Cat connection. Most liberal congresscritters free base Little Friskies and have Tater Tots for brains. Why Grayson in particular?
The DUmp is as low as you can go.
I'm sure all 38 members showed up.
He's probably a record-setting poster at the DUmpster under one alias or another
Nothing he does with DU or Kos would surprise me — the interesting question is whether he will have a public mental breakdown in the next 2 weeks (and how could we tell the difference)?
I say bilk em for all he can get. They ARE just that stupid!
This guy Grayson is nuts.
I think the personalities are similar, as is the sanity... It just seems to match... I think Grayson says, "Ack", frequently
I think Farmer Dean may be on to something with the Baker Act. We certainly wouldn't want him to hurt himself...
I stopped by that rat hole the other day, and the comments were a riot! Seeing who these slugs look up to is very telling!

I stop by periodically but can't stay long. Did you see much discontent with 0bama?
The Chickens are coming home to roost so says Rev. Wright
I stop by periodically but cant stay long. Did you see much discontent with 0bama?
Like you, I don't stay in the rat hole very long.
With Obama, it just depends on the day. When they are Pi$$3ed at him, it's usually because he's not being Leftist enough for them.
Those are some sick puppies over there. No matter what the thread, they'll bring up/blame Bush. Those people are seriously warped!
Those people are seriously warped!
Good description. They are in their own, unrealistic world.
Pure pathos, but still not as bad as when Elizabeth Dole started posting whinging screeds there, before Baby Daddy got caught with his zipper stuck. Even DU didn't want her after that...
Most liberals resemble Bill the Cat. I can think of one who says "ummm" instead of "ack."
It's a lovefest over there for Grayson.
What's that old saying ? Crazy people recognize each other without saying a word ?
Not only should he take their money but I hope he uses it on something personal.
They did the same thing with John Edwards.
A DUmmie is a dummie.
I think you mean Elizabeth Edwards? Though the thought of Liddy Dole posting at DU does give me a chuckle.
I like the general idea of an elected representative using a site of like minded people. It think it would be quite cool to have someone like Newt or Rove (to say nothing of Sarah) answering questions and taking comments in real time on FR.
The concept is good, regardless of who is using it.
Turds and toilet bowls - they just go together.
Post of the day!
look at this exchange.....all i can say is HOLY BALLS there are some dummies over there!!!

Response to Reply #13
74. President
We are in a very, very difficult race for Congress this year. We will win only if everyone pulls together and helps. One step at a time.
Alan Grayson for President?
that's about the most absurd thing anyone's come up with since..... Barack Obama for President
that's the only problem with dismissing all of the loony notions spewing from the left — it's not safe to assume any of it is too asinine to happen
How pathetic.
Gotta link? I haven't been DUmpster diving in a long time. I'll bring the Purell.

Sqweel Go USB Rechargeable Oral Sex Simulator

Hummmm, lip me
Reviewed: May 20, 2016 by funnygirlxxx1, a Straight Married Female
The "tongues" are obviously amazing, and the wheel just spins in one continuous, very fast motion.
I am ultimately very happy with this toy as I discovered that, just move it around manually, it actually feels very similar to oral sex.
The one downside is that this is a pricier rechargeable toy.
This toy also requires a lot of lube.
- Pros
- Hummm, I like it.
- Cons
- Pricier rechargeable toy.
- Bottom line
- Gooooood.

Great fun toy
Reviewed: May 6, 2016 by Curvygirl25, a Straight Engaged Female
This product with some water based lube is heaven, if your guy isn't around to do the job this is definitely the next best thing!
I have the purple one. When I first bought it I was a little shocked at the size, it was smaller than I thought, however, it definitely does the job. The recharge is fab and means you don't have to mess about with batteries. The tounges are so flexible and soft, they feel so real. The different settings certainly will certainly bring to you climax pretty quickly!
We have used as a couple and I have used it on my own. My boyfriend so likes it to 'lick' the tip of his dick, he says it feels amazing - a multi-use toy!
If you use a lot of lube with this make sure you clean straight way and make sure it's completely clean, I run it under water after just to make double sure. Lube gets super messy in a good way.
- Pros
- All the different settings.
- Cons
- Cleaning!
- Bottom line
- Overall the best 'non' real tongue you can get.

The Ultimate oral simulator - it feels so real
Reviewed: April 6, 2016 by LittleMissNaughty88, a Straight Married Female
This great little toy, it arrived in discreet packaging and is really good quality. Charging is quick, so can be ready to be used in just a few hours.
Either use it on your own or with your partner. Just add some lubrication and it's an amazing sensation. The different settings give you the variety and makes it simulate oral and feels just like a real tongue.
Fully waterproof, it's a great toy to take into the bath.
I can't recommend this product enough, it's fairly quiet so great if you have others around.
- Pros
- Size and portability.
- Cons
- No case to keep it in.
- Bottom line
- Licktastic.

I found this to be a good game. I would have liked it if there were arrow keys that were pointing to where the next smallest one was. In games like "Fishy" you don't need them because you can see it all. That being said, I still found this to be an enjoyable game. The designs are actually fairly good. I like the idea of being able to turn into a planet.
I know that breaks every law of physics, but I don't care. The sounds are fairly nice too. I thought I had completed a level when I was just restarted it after colliding with a planet. I thought it might have been my goal to go there. It truly is well detailed.
Rated 2 / 5 stars
The game is stupid and unfairly difficult. The absence of a radar or minimap of some sort completely ruins the game. Also having to completely restart a level instead of having something like a health bar breaks the experience. Packing the biggest planets on top of each other in the middle of the map is ridiculous. This is also pretty much the only place to find something to consume.
Aside from being a chore to play, the game is just dull. Having no music to take away from the tedious dings also makes you feel boring by having the game open. On top of this all, the game is visually unappealing. Could it have killed to add at least something like a particle effect? I don't think that's asking very much when the rest of the graphics consist of a black background with numerous white specs, and big colorful blobs.
Better luck next time.
Rated 2.5 / 5 stars
Level mode is impossible on Level 2, even if i am real good at this games.
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
Great game. Could use a pause button though.
Rated 3.5 / 5 stars
It's very fun, but lags horribly in Google Chrome.

Gibson.com has posted a history of B.B. King's
guitars with pictures, stories and videos. It's a nice insight into
"Lucille" and her many guises...
Everyone knows B.B. King calls his Gibson guitars "Lucille." The
fact is, B.B. has had numerous Lucilles since he fell in love with
his first one way back in 1949. And he's played many other Gibsons
that haven't been blessed with "her" name.
Here are the stories…
Gibson L-30 - the first Lucille
B.B.'s first "Lucille" was a Gibson L-30. He rescued it from a
nightclub fire in Twist, Arkansas, and named it after a woman in
the club. King told Jazzweekly.com, "One night, two guys
started to fighting and one knocked down one of them containers
[kerosene barrels, for heating the club] and it was already burning
with kerosene and so when it spilled onto the floor, it looked like
a river of fire and everybody started to run for the front door -
including B.B. King.
"But when I got on the outside, I realized then that I had left
my guitar on the inside. So I went back for it. The building was a
wooden building and burning rapidly. It started to collapse around
me and I almost lost my life trying to save my guitar. So the next
morning, we found out that these two guys that were fighting were
fighting about a lady that worked in the little dance hall. We
learned that her name was Lucille. So I named the guitar Lucille to
remind me to never do a thing like that again."
And so the Lucille legend was born. King's first Lucille was a
Gibson L-30, a budget model. The L-30 was small-bodied, non-cutaway
and with a flat back. The L-30 featured a simple trapeze tailpiece
and pickguard, an adjustable bridge, single-binding (front and
back) and dot fingerboard markers. Early examples were finished in
black, but later L-30s had dark mahogany sides, back and neck, with
a dark sunburst top. The model was discontinued in 1943.
Gibson ES-5
As King's career flourished, he got a fancier guitar. Launched
in 1949, the ES-5 was then one of Gibson's flashiest and sonically
most versatile models - it had three P-90 pickups. King's was the
early version, without the complex switching of the 1955-60
updates. The ES-5 came in blonde and sunburst, but B.B.'s was a
blonde, with a trio of volume pots and a black pickguard. The ES-5
was discontinued in 1960.
Gibson ES-125
In 1951, King had his major hit with a cover of Lowell Fulson's
"Three O'Clock Blues." By this time B.B. was playing a Gibson
ES-125. With a single P-90 pickup and no cutaway it featured a
bound top and back, tortoiseshell pickguard, single-bound top and
back and dot neck inlays. "Three O'Clock Blues" was a slow-burning
12-bar that set the template for B.B.'s inimitable style. No video
in 1951, of course, so here King is playing the hit song on a later
Gibson Byrdland
Electric blues pioneer T-Bone Walker was a big influence on B.B.
T-Bone favored Gibson's ES-250, a mid-range hollowbody with two
P-90s. In 1955, Gibson released the similar ES-350T and Byrdland,
with slimmer bodies, better specs and a shorter scale length. The
Byrdland was endorsed by jazz players Billy Byrd and Hank Garland -
hence the name - and B.B. liked it. Its ebony fingerboard with
block pearl inlays were smart, and its shorter scale made it
perfect for complex jazz chording. Although B.B. toted a Byrdland
for a while in the late '50s/early '60s, its most famous user
remains "Motor City Madman" Ted Nugent. Who'da thunk B.B. and "The
Nuge" had anything in common?
Gibson ES-175
King has also used an ES-175. The guitar was a favorite of jazz
legends Joe Pass and Herb Ellis, and King used his for his jazzier
excursions. King is pictured with one on the 1959 album BB
King Wails. The ES-175, unlike the top-line L-5 and Super 400, had
a laminated maple (not solid carved spruce) top. This kept prices
down and helped combat feedback.
Gibson ES-355
The Gibson ES-355 is the "Lucille" everyone now associates with
B.B. King. He'd played many budget-to-flagship Gibsons for many
years, but the flash ES-355 was B.B.'s ultimate. A variation of the
ES-335, the ES-355 had looks, volume, sweetness and stinging tone.
It also boasted the 6-way Varitone selector, which offers a spread
of sounds over and above the Gibson ES-335 norm. You can hear the
"honk" of the Varitone's capabilities on King's 1969 classic "The
Thrill is Gone." King has played ES-335s and ES-345s too, but the
ES-355 was the one fit for a King… and the guitar became the queen
of Lucilles.
Here's B.B. at his funkiest best in the 1960s, on a tobacco
Gibson Lucille
It was 1980 when Gibson and King first collaborated to create
his own, exclusive
Lucille model. As well as personalized pearl inlays, B.B.
requested that Gibson remove the f-holes, to reduce feedback. In
earlier years, King would often stuff his regular ES-355's f-holes
with cloth to inhibit feedback, so this was a much-needed mod for
the bluesman. As a Gibson Custom model, it is premium-priced.
Gibson Lucille Limited offered different colors.
And the
Epiphone Lucille also offers a more affordable option.
Featuring a laminated maple body with glued-in maple neck, it
boasts a bound rosewood fingerboard and multi- bound body and
headstock. With stereo and mono outputs plus the 6-way Varitone
switch, it's classic B.B. on a budget.
Neither guitar comes with B.B's left hand - his vibrato
technique is legend in the history of electric guitar - but the
guitars may help you get that King tone. Soak up that B.B King tone
in this tour de force.

Plans for an east Houma subdivision for low-income families are advancing.
A Terrebonne Parish Council committee on Monday approved a $2.7 million loan, using federal hurricane recovery money, for the development of the Parkwood Place Subdivision.
The Courier reported that the council is expected to give final approval to the loan when it meets Wednesday evening.
Houma developer S.P. LaRussa plans to develop a residential community containing 226 lots on about 44 acres. The loan would pay to install infrastructure such as roads, drainage and sewerage.
LaRussa said he hopes to break ground in November and start building homes by March.

Help with Baby Pattern Sweater: Sirdar (Pattern 1682)
I'm shaping the left front of a baby sweater w/a shawl collar. The pattern isn't working where the decreases start. I've ripped this out so many times, I could have made ten baby sweaters! This is the pattern:
C/O 31 sts
R1: K1, P2*k2,p2 to last st, K1
R2: P1*k2P2 to last 3 sts, K2,P1
R3: Knit and R4: Purl
R5: Same as Row 1
R6: Same as Row 2
R7: Purl and R8: Knit
Here's the decreases (and where the problem starts):
R1: Work patt to last 2 sts, patt2tog (I purled the last 2 sts) = 30 sts
Since the dec is at the end of this row, how do I start row 2? Do I eliminate the P1, and start the row with K2? Or start with a P1 and continue the row?
Then, you dec 1 st at each front edge in the 3rd row, and then every foll 4th row. Somehow, my pattern has shifted left 1 or 2 sts. The only difference is the dec is at the end of the 1st row, and all other dec are at the beg of the rows. I eliminated the P1 in row 2, and then eliminated an equal number of sts in the rows after the decreases. Doesn't look right. What am I doing wrong?

Integrating Natural Language Processing Components with XML and XSLT. Edition No. 1
- April 2008
- 352 Pages
- VDM Publishing House
This book describes novel software architectures for the integration of deep and shallow natural language processing (NLP) components in language technology. The generic markup language XML and the XML transformation language XSLT are used for flexible combination of linguistic markup produced by multiple NLP components.
Shallow NLP components such as tokenizers, part-of-speech taggers, named entity recognizers and shallow parsers are combined with a deep parser, operating grammars written in the spirit of the Head-Driven Phrase Structure Grammar (HPSG) theory.
The integration paradigm enables synergy leading to more robust deep parsing with increased coverage.
It also constitutes a division of labor: the deep grammar models general, correct language use, while shallow systems are responsible for domain-specific extensions.
Applications are presented in question answering, information extraction, natural language understanding, ontologies and the Semantic Web.
The book addresses to software engineers, computational linguists and language technology engineers.

Ulrich Schäfer, Dr.-Ing., Dipl.-Inform., studied Computer Science and Computational Linguistics at Saarland University, Saarbrücken, Germany. Since 2000, he is working as Senior Software Engineer at the German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI) GmbH, Saarbrücken.

"We strive to continuously raise the standards of the pet care industry. We care for our pet guests the way we would like our own pets cared for, and we are super picky pet parents!"
Paul and Marni Lewis
In 1970, Marni's parents built and operated a dog boarding kennel in Reisterstown, Maryland. As a child, she spent every day helping in the kennel and playing with the dogs. Marni's mother was a well known dog trainer and breeder of German Shepherds, so it was no wonder that at age five Marni won her first junior handling class. The family kennel sold and it became Marni's life long dream to build her own "pet resort".
Paul is an Army Veteran and spent 7 years in customer service for the U.S. Postal Service. Marni has a Bachelor of Science degree in Health Education and worked as a case manager for a managed care company.
In 1997, after a terrible boarding experience with her own dogs, Marni decided to build the first luxury pet resort in South Florida. Tail End Pet Resort was a 15,000 square foot boarding, grooming and day care facility with a 100 dog capacity. Tail End was featured many times in the Sun Sentinel, on the front page of the Miami Herald, was voted "Best Place to Pamper your Pet" by City Link Magazine, and was the first choice for several Miami Dolphin and Florida Marlins Players, as well as Miami Celebrities. Marni and Paul sold the business in 2008 to a national pet boarding company.
After losing all three of their Greyhounds to cancer, Paul and Marni committed to find better ways to maintain their pets' health. The Green K9 opened in July of 2010 in Tavares, FL with a mission to help pet owners find the healthiest products for their pets and the environment and provide a safe, clean and fun day care facility for dogs to exercise and socialize. The business soon grew, and in July 2012 The Green K9 moved to its new 7,200 sq. ft. location in Mount Dora where boarding and grooming services were added.
The Lewis family currently consists of two horses, four dogs and three cats, all rescued of course!
