"The seat didn't get stolen by itself"
The following quotes (the title of today's post included) have all been fished from various cycling forums and constitute a broad-ish swathe of opinion on the general subject of saddle theft.
The following quotes (the title of today's post included) have all been fished from various cycling forums and constitute a broad-ish swathe of opinion on the general subject of saddle theft.
The plate used to emboss the saddles
Vans, the renowned shoemaker from California (in case you did not know), approached us earlier this year to collaborate with their Vault project, which is now finally dropping into stores worldwide.
The old adage about that which is good for people in the plumbing supplies business not always necessarily being also good for the owners of multi-storey car parks has never been truer than today, and so it is that the resurgence of hardcourt bike polo continues in its failure to show any indication of having reached terminal velocity.
It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice, as the great man once said. And of late, the bicycle trade has acted as vehicle for an epidemic of amicability in the form of what we now normally know as the "collaboration", a recent example being this concept-bike assembled under the joint auspices of Look and… Lacoste.
Further to our report on the Race Around Ireland last week, and on the subject of endurance cycling and posterial comfort in general, Richard Hallett from RoadCyclingUK.com has been in touch.
John Sholto Douglas, 9th Marquis of Queensberry Joe Goss fought them all
Most good stories tend to contain a beginning, middle and end. But even the bad ones all have a beginning…
And ours places us on a cold November evening propping up the counter of a congenial, smoke-filled tavern called The Black Bull on Scholefield Street, Birmingham in 1901. Our landlord is the ageing, heavily moustachioed and still powerfully built "Gypsy" Jem Mace, storied champion of England and the World, whose reign uniquely straddled the switch from illegal bare-knuckle fights to those held under the Queensberry Rules.
At this time of the year our thoughts turn necessarily to the vexed question of how to keep our feet warm and dry whilst cycling, and thus avoid discomfort and bad temper. What has this to do with a quintessentially English dish often accompanied by something called "mash"?
Read on, periodically sodden one.
(Note: this post has been updated and somewhat rewritten. It was originally posted on Nov. 16, 2010.)
You know the old saying. "Money will buy you a fine dog, but only love can make it wag its tail". If you need any proof of the truth of that statement, try taking "dog" out, and replacing it with, oh… "saddle", for example.
You clearly get a sentence that makes no objective sense at all. Among other things, saddles don't have tails. Though they do have noses, which sometimes bear a kind of passing resemblance to dog noses.
Dandy Ted flummoxed that Mire is the new Black?
If you are still unfamiliar with L'Eroica, before you start reading please take a look at this video we produced last year.
Now that we are all up to date, let me proceed with today's blog contribution, and regale you, Gentle Reader, with a colorful accounting of the goings-on at this years' L'Eroica.
Three years on from when you first read this post, the Hövding is now a buyable reality.
If the phrase "University thesis project by two Swedish design students" doesn't make you too nervous, then keep reading. But even if it does make you nervous, don't worry, we're here to hold your hand. Oh go on, if you've made the trip all the way over here from Facebook, you might as well.
It's fact that every couple of weeks or so, a Health & Safety Think-Tank somewhere sends an army of badly compensated people with clipboards to the streets to extract from members of the Cycling Public an explanation for their aversion to Helmet Use.

Why You Should Eat the Peel

Apples' Anti-Cancer Agents Are in the Skin
By Rebecca Taggart
Everyone knows the old adage "an apple a day keeps the doctor away" but research over the last decade has begun to reveal why that is true: strongly anti-oxidant polyphenols that reside in the skin.
Apples have health benefits far beyond what one would expect: besides providing a good source of fiber and Vitamin C, researchers have found that consuming apples regularly—at least twice a week—helps prevent various cancers, asthma, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease, as well as contributing to weight loss...

Office Potatoes Standing Can Burn Calories, Improve Health By Pia Hinckle
Do you ever feel like your office chair has become an appendage rather than just a place to sit? What if you found out that appendage could put your health at risk? Recent studies have found that people who sit for eight hours or more a day are at increased risk for type 2 diabetes, chronic back problems, obesity, and heart disease. What can you do to prevent chair potato syndrome? Stand up for health.
Honor Thy Farmer Harvest Time Brings Nature's Bounty By Heidi Lewis
Harvest time is a good time to honor nature's bounty and the hardworking farmers who bring it to us. They've been plowing, planting, weeding, and pruning back the overgrowth, as well as tending to their communities and ecosystems. All year round there's work to be done. Besides getting produce to market as it comes to harvest, many farms are dabbling, and sometimes specializing, in gourmet goodies such as vinegar, cider, preserves, and honey, to sell during the dormant season. Here we take a look at what a few small farms have produced.
Crazy Halloween Names By Chris Mittelstaedt
I've always felt that the spookiest fruit name is Pomegranate. The name comes from the Latin pomum granatum, or "apple of many seeds" and it has been around longer than The Mummy-ancient varieties were cultivated in Mesopotamia. Pomegranates pack a nutritional wallop with potassium and powerful antioxidants that can help protect your blood lipids and may even stop plaque from accumulating on arterial walls like the green goo in "Ghostbusters."The trick is how to eat one in a white shirt.
Pumpkin Eaters An All-Pumpkin Feast By Pia Hinckle

A Fruitful Partnership Grows Roots to Educate Philly Youth By Bridget Meigs
The FruitGuys Philadelphia team helped green urban West Philadelphia by sponsoring a fall planting at the Walnut Hill Community Farm through POP (Philadelphia Orchard Project).
The farm was reclaimed from the urban landscape this past spring through a partnership between The Enterprise Center Community Development Corporation(TEC-CDC) and Philly Rooted, led by farm managers/directors Nic Esposito and Erica Smith. (Nic Esposito, co-founder of Philly Rooted, pictured left.) Nic and Erica teach sustainable farming skills to West Philadelphia youth and help them market and sell their produce at the Clark Park Farmer's Market and local businesses such as Milk and Honey Market. Nic and Erica founded Philly Rooted "to grow community and support the local food economy by developing urban farms" and to promote the incorporation of urban agriculture into local policies.
The FruitGuys sponsored the October planting of raspberry bushes, and edible trees and shrubs including hazelnuts, elderberries, blackberries, seaberries, and a rose bush that produces edible rose hips. Pictures and full story of our community planting in West Philadelphia here.

Oklahoma State Cowboys Gear
Recommended for You
Oklahoma State Cowboys
In 1923, the students at Oklahoma A&M had a problem. Their school's athletic teams were often referred to by newspaper writers as the "Tigers." The nickname was unpopular, to say the least. However, inspiration touched down in Stillwater during the annual Armistice Day parade when a pack of fans noticed a real-deal cowboy, Frank Eaton, leading the charge. After receiving Eaton's blessing, work began on turning the man known as "Pistol Pete" into a symbol. While it wouldn't be officially adopted as the university's moniker for another several decades, these days, it's hard to imagine theOklahoma State Cowboys competing under any other name.
As a member of the Big 12 Conference, the Pokes have staked their claim as contenders simply by winning. The university has won more than 50 NCAA national championships and occupies a special place in college basketball history as the first school to win back-to-back titles. Not content to reign over the hardwood, OSU has captured more than 30 wrestling crowns, while the golf team's top honors also spill into the double digits. However, with this being the Sooner State, it all comes back to what's happened on the gridiron.
Toward the end of the '80s, fans across the country began referring to Oklahoma State as "Tailback U" due to the incredible accomplishments of running backs Barry Sanders and Thurman Thomas. A Wichita, Kansas native, Sanders shattered record books in 1988 as he sped his way to 2,628 rushing yards, 37 touchdowns, and the Heisman Trophy. It's hard to say where the jaw-dropping numbers came from, but it's possible that #21 was just trying to keep up with the guy he was replacing. Over the course of his four-year career with the Cowboys, Thomas galloped for 4,847 yards and 43 touchdowns while earning Big 8 Conference Player of the Year honors twice. Fittingly, the pair went on to celebrated careers in the NFL, and both have been inducted into the College and Pro Football Hall of Fame.
The only thing more legendary than the exploits of this dynamic duo is, of course, the rivalry with cross-state Oklahoma University. Each year, the two schools put all their cards on the table and tally victories earned in each of the varsity sports in which they compete to find the winner of the Bedlam Series. While some years have been better than others, there's nothing that can diminish what took place during the 2001 football contest. The Cowboys had won just three games headed into the matchup, and the Sooners seemed destined for a title. Sixty minutes later, OSU had a 16-13 victory in hand, while OU scrambled to understand how it all had gone so wrong.
If that tilt had been held in Stillwater, then Cowboys fans would have given their rivals the ol' one-armed wave, as is their custom. Dating back to 1908, "The Waving Song" has long been the soundtrack for OSU wins, and chances are, it'll still be their parting shot 100 years from now.

Humble yourselves. Do not think highly and you will attain high things. The more gold is tested in the fire, the purer it becomes. And the Christian, the more he is tried by temptations, the more his soul is purified.

Meredith MacRae filmography and biography
Date of birth: 30 May 1944, Houston, Texas, USA

Meredith MacRae biography
Meredith Lynn MacRae was born on May 30, 1944, in Houston, Texas. She
was born on a military base where her father was stationed.
Meredith was bitten by the show business bug at an early age. Her father, Gordon MacRae was a singer and movie idol of the 1950s (Roger & Hammerstein's Oklahoma! and Carousel), and her mother, Sheila MacRae, is an actress/comedienne and author, who is probably best known as Alice Kramden (1966-1970), during the 2nd incarnation of Jackie Gleason (I)'s The Jackie Gleason Show (aka "The Honeymooners").
At the age of eight, Meredith started her own acting career and appeared in the film By the Light of the Silvery Moon, which starred her father.
She attended UCLA and obtained a Bachelor of Arts degree in English. In 1964, she married Richard Berger, former president of MGM. They divorced four years later.
Meredith went on to starring roles in two of television's heyday family sitcoms: Petticoat Junction and My Three Sons. She also guest starred in many other television shows including: Fantasy Island, Magnum, P.I., The Rockford Files, and Webster (the highest rated episode ever). She also appeared in several movies and had a brief singing career.
In 1969, Meredith married actor Greg Mullavey (Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman and Bob amp; Carol amp; Ted amp; Alice. They had one daughter, Allison, born in 1974. Greg and Meredith divorced in 1992 but remained friends.
In 1995, Meredith married Phillip Neal, Chairman and CEO of Avery-Dennison.
In 1999, she was diagnosed with cancer. In 2000, due to complications from multiple surgeries and allergic reactions to medications (which caused her brain to swell), Meredith Lynn MacRae departed this life.

- An avid game show enthusiast, she showed off her smarts as a semi-regular on the syndicated version of Whats My Line? in the late 60s.

Because of the need for families with seminarians, the program is currently only being set up in parishes that already have seminarians. Parishioners who support the program send a message to families that cash should not prevent anyone from considering the priesthood. Do not forget to offer a prayer for local seminarians when you put any gift — large or small — in the "Pennies For Priests" box in the foyer of St. Louis Catholic Church or mail it to the church.

Washington, DC (February 25, 2005) — The Propane Education & Research Council met via an hour-long conference call on February 17, approving an operating budget for the Engine Fuel Coordinating Committee and recommending changes to PERC's Policies, Rules, and Procedures regarding the use of state rebate funds.
The Council received a report from Brian Feehan, managing director of engine fuel programs, on the first meeting of the Engine Fuel Coordinating Committee, which was held February 11 in Chicago. The Council unanimously approved Docket 11665, Engine Fuel Coordinating Committee Oversight and Operating Support, for $97,000. The docket includes the cost for developing a roadmap document for the Engine Fuel Coordinating Committee.
Councilors spent a majority of the call discussing proposed changes to the PERC Policies, Rules, and Procedures regarding the use of rebate funds by state associations/foundations. The proposed changes were developed by a task force created in December by Council Chairman David Lugar that was led by Councilor Tom Nunan, Suburban Propane (Oceanside, CA).
"When the Council created the rebate program, the intent was for the Council to fund projects and programs that an individual company could not reasonably afford on their own," Nunan said. "These proposed changes bring the rules and procedures more in line with the original intent of the Council."
The Council is now accepting public comments on the proposed changes, which must be received by March 18 to be considered by the Council at its next meeting, scheduled for March 31-April 1 at the Omni CNN Center in Atlanta. The full text of the proposed changes is listed at http://www.propanecouncil.org/files/February_Policy_Change_Press_Release.pdf.

Deadline Looms For New Net System
If you want to own your own top-level domain you have about 24 hours to submit your application (along with the $180,000 fee) because once the April 12 deadline passes, that is it for the foreseeable future.
The most dramatic shake-up of the internet's naming system could see the introduction of over 1,000 new "top level domains". Top-level domains (TLD), as the name suggests, refer to the very top of the Internet's naming system and include the 22 generic TLDs such as .com, .org and .net. They also include the 250 or so country code TLDs (such as .fr for France, .de for Germany or .ru for Russia).
Last year, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), the Web's names regulator, agreed to throw open the naming convention, so that anyone with the money, the technical expertise and the ability to prove their competence can own any new TLD. The plan is to allow the introduction of the so-called ".brands" so that, for example, Apple could purchase .apple (rather than www.apple.com). More generic extensions, such as .music, .web, .beer, .pizza and .sport are also available.
When new registrations closed on March 29, there were 839 registered users on the system; a user can apply for up to 50 domains. ICANN will announce the details of the process in the week beginning April 30.
The plan to open up the naming system has been mired in controversy. The U.S. Association of National Advertisers sent a petition to U.S. Commerce Secretary John Bryson expressing "strong concern" about the proposals. "ICANN's action was taken despite widespread and significant objections raised throughout the process by many in the global community of internet users," the petition said.
Signatories to the petition included Adobe Systems, American Express, Burger King, Coca-Cola, Dell, Ford Motor Company, General Electric Company, Hewlett-Packard, Johnson & Johnson, Procter & Gamble and Publicis Groupe.
However, Peter Dengate-Thrush, who was Chairman of ICANN at the time the organization was steering through the changes (he stood down in June 2011), stood by what ICANN had achieved. "It coming up to a year since I left. I don't think there is anything that we could have done, or should have done differently about the process. It was an unprecedented set of negotiations between the board and the governments of the world."
The move also angered the U.S. government. ICANN's application to the U.S. government's National Telecommunications and Information Administration to renew the contract to run the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority, which underpins the internet's numbering system, was rejected on March 9, even though ICANN was the only applicant. The contract has been temporarily renewed until September.
Although he no longer speaks for ICANN, Mr. Dengate-Thrush said the failure to renew the IANA contract was not a significant issue. "I am reasonably confident that ICANN will end up running the contract because ICANN has been built by the international community to do its job.
"[I] Just see it as a reasonably straight-forward commercial negotiation between parties to get to where they want to. It is not a threat to ICANN. The threat to ICANN would be if the global internet community said we no longer want to use the ICANN process as the forum for developing internet policy. ICANN's job is to make the policy for allocating addresses.
"One of the points the US Department of Commerce raised was functional separation, so they might want a bigger firewall between the policy work that ICANN does, and the implementation work it would do with the IANA contract."

Seems like it's been a while since the Blue Jackets played a game, but that can be both a blessing and a curse in this shortened NHL season. Most teams have found a groove with travel and game schedules but every now and then there will be an awkward break in the action -- and it's no different than what the Los Angeles Kings are facing, as well.
The Kings, like the Blue Jackets, last played Monday night and, like the Blue Jackets, won their most recent game. That's far too many commas in one sentence for me but I'll make an exception...just this once. Is there such thing as momentum in a game like this? I tend to think not, as it's more of a reset and clean slate game than anything.
After a travel day on Wednesday, the Blue Jackets have had some time to get settled in Los Angeles and had a good practice on Thursday afternoon in El Segundo. Todd Richards liked the pace and intensity of the skate following a couple days off, and after some time studying game tapes, thinks his club is on the cusp of assembling its parts on a consistent basis.
Here's the brief recap on today's events: Adrian Aucoin draws back into the lineup after missing six games with a lower body injury, and Sergei Bobrovsky starts in net for Columbus. Jonathan Bernier, who has a 1-1-0 lifetime record against the Blue Jackets, gets the call for the Kings.Get tonight's "three keys" to success inside this blog post.
GETTING IT STARTED: Everyone ready for game day, late-night style? The Blue Jackets are in Los Angeles to take on the Kings tonight at STAPLES Center, and it should be a dandy. I'm a big fan of this budding rivalry and it starts with these two clubs simply not liking each other a whole lot. Last week's game at Nationwide Arena was a bit snarly and had a good edge to it, and I expect more of the same tonight in SoCal.
There's plenty to get caught up on this afternoon, and the team has just wrapped up its morning skate. Stay tuned to the blog for all the latest news, interviews and updates throughout the afternoon and evening.
Jarmo Kekalainen knows exactly what has helped him reach this point in his career, and he's not about to deviate for the sake of change.
He will often joke that his NHL playing career wasn't anything to brag about, playing 55 games over five years and accumulating 13 points in the process. But his goal has never been about individual achievement or recognition -- he simply wants to win the Stanley Cup.
Since he was never able to fulfill that dream as a professional hockey player, the next opportunity came while wearing a suit and tie. He joined the Ottawa Senators' front office in 1999 after spending four years with IFK Helsinki and it was there, in Canada's capital city, that he discovered a strong passion for being a manager in the NHL.
His drafts in Ottawa were highly productive; names such as Jason Spezza, Chris Phillips, Marian Hossa, Martin Havlat, Ray Emery, Brooks Laich and Sami Salo were Kekalainen draft recommendations, and year after year, the man just seemed to deliver. When he was hired as the assistant general manger and head of amateur scouting in St. Louis in 2002, it was a new challenge and situation, but Kekalainen did not stray from what made him successful in Ottawa.
Now the general manager and a key member of the Blue Jackets hockey operations department -- a "very important brick," as John Davidson called him -- Kekalainen has the resume to build on what's he has done before and is faced with a similar scenario right off the bat: the Blue Jackets own three first-round picks in this year's NHL draft, as did the Blues in 2007.Read the rest of the story behind Kekalainen's draft success inside this blog post.
The Blue Jackets took the ice today for an energetic practice merely an hour after President of Hockey Operations John Davidson announced that Jarmo Kekalainen would replace Scott Howson as general manager.
Davidson spoke to the team briefly before their practice at Nationwide Arena this morning to discuss the change and the expectations moving forward.
"He told us what the expectations are, but that's nothing earth-shattering… to come and give it your best every day," Blue Jackets defenseman Jack Johnson said. "We know the organization is serious about doing whatever they can to try to help us win here."
For many of the players, the change is bittersweet since contract moves made by Howson and his staff are the reason for being here in Columbus.
"Unfortunately, it's a part of this business, but it's never an easy decision to make," Prospal said. "Here, this is a hard business, and [it's] not where they're from, [it's] what they do, and how hard they work."Read the rest of this story by clicking inside the blog post.
John Davidson has said that a player's nationality will never dictate his status or how he's viewed, and this morning, he felt the same about his new general manager.
After two years spent as GM of Jokerit in Finland, Jarmo Kekalainen agreed to become the next GM of the Blue Jackets yesterday. Davidson said he and Kekalainen first discussed the job a few days ago, and once interest appeared mutual, the progression was fairly rapid. The 46-year-old brings almost two decades of hockey managerial experience to Columbus and has served in hockey operations capacities for both the Ottawa Senators and St. Louis Blues, and was the assistant GM under Davidson in St. Louis.
The Finnish-born Kekalainen is the first European GM in the nearly 100-year history of the NHL, and while it's a historic day for both Kekalainen and the Blue Jackets, Davidson said one look at the resume tells you that it wouldn't have mattered what his last name is.
"He's a loyal, honest and character-filled man," Davidson said. "He's ready and confident...he has one heck of a resume. You try to have an open mind with everything in this world of hockey. It's a wonderful world."
Read the full story inside this blog post.
Armed with three first-round picks in this year's NHL draft and expressing a desire to build the Blue Jackets through player development, it should come as no surprise that John Davidson hired a general manager who fits the bill almost perfectly.
During a six-year tenure in St. Louis, Davidson worked hand-in-hand with Jarmo Kekalainen, who was named as the third general manager in Blue Jackets history this morning. The 46-year-old native of Tampere, Finland, is a somewhat historic hire in that he's the first full-time European-born GM in NHL history.
Kekalainen played 55 NHL games with the Boston Bruins and Ottawa Senators between 1989-1994 before retiring and jumping into front office work. He was a natural, and many around the league believe he's one of the top talent evaluators in the business. Alongside Davidson in St. Louis (and working with the Blues beginning in 2002), Kekalainen helped rebuild an organization which had a dry talent pipeline and turned it into one brimming with bright young talent, with names like David Perron, David Backes, TJ Oshie and Alex Pietrangelo forming the Blues' nucleus.
In Columbus, Kekalainen will be taking on a similar task and it's almost fitting to be doing so with his former boss in St. Louis. This upcoming draft has been described as "huge" and "crucial" for the Blue Jackets by Davidson, and with what is considered to be a deep draft class, the opportunity is there for Kekalainen and staff to build considerable depth.
"Hockey is a truly global game and there are very few people whose knowledge of the game in North America and abroad surpasses that of Jarmo Kekalainen," Davidson said in a statement. "He is intelligent, hard-working and a tremendous evaluator of talent. He is a terrific addition to the Blue Jackets family and will play an important role in our efforts to move our organization forward in the coming years."
After retirement from pro hockey in 1995, Kekalainen returned to his native Finland to serve as GM of IFK Helsinki until 1999. He was hired by the Senators as player personnel director and is credited with recommendations to draft Martin Havlat and Marian Hossa, two of Ottawa's cornerstone players in the mid-2000s.
Before accepting the job as Blue Jackets GM, Kekalainen held the same position was Jokerit of the Finnish Elite League and had the club in a solid first-place standing.
Through an inconsistent three-week stretch to begin the season, the Blue Jackets seemed to be a club in need of a spark. A player, a line, a game...just something to get them going.
Coach Todd Richards had seen flashes of play from his team that show what they're capable of on a nightly basis, but they have also been guilty of subpar periods which have put them behind the eight-ball. Blue Jackets defenseman James Wisniewski summed it up last night when he said the team can't get hung up on individual wins and losses because the race is so tight; they simply have to keep improving with every game.
Heading into Sunday's game against the Edmonton Oilers, Richards made significant line changes in an effort to jump-start the Blue Jackets offense. Though it was a disappointing 3-1 loss, the Blue Jackets did much of what they set out to do: they put 40 shots on Oilers goalie Devan Dubnyk and had more than enough opportunities to win the game, and the only thing lacking was finish.
The catalyst ended up being Brandon Dubinsky's line with Matt Calvert and Nick Foligno -- a combination of three of Columbus' most consistent forwards so far. They weren't rewarded on the scoresheet on Sunday, but 24 hours later against the San Jose Sharks, the pucks that weren't going in and the bounces they weren't getting suddenly showed up.
Right from the first shift, that line set the tone, Richards said. Dubinsky scored the first goal (his first as a Blue Jacket) only 43 seconds into the game, which was a deserved reward for a guy who has been as reliable as they come and embodies what the coaching and management staff wants from its veteran players.Read the full story on Dubinsky's line inside this blog post.
One of the many firsts in tonight's 6-2 Blue Jackets win over San Jose belonged to defenseman Cody Goloubef, who scored his first NHL goal in front of the home crowd at Nationwide Arena.
"It was a dream come true," Goloubef said after the game. "You think about playing your first game and scoring your first goal – it's huge."
The shot did not look like your typical blaster from the point, but Goloubef said that's not his style. The play started after Nick Foligno won a battle in the corner and pushed the puck to Derek MacKenzie, who dished it to Goloubef at the blue line. He took only a moment to windup just a little before sending the puck through traffic and into the net behind Sharks goaltender Thomas Greiss.
"You see most guys wind up all the way up to the roof. I don't wind up, I don't unscrew the light bulbs – I just keep it quick," Goloubef said.
The quick release was something that Goloubef said he worked on in college a lot and carried with him because it seemed to work for him.
"I feel like I have a better shot when I get it off quickly," he said. "I get a little more torque on my stick for whatever reason, but it seems to work for me so I'm gonna stick to it."Read the full story on Goloubef's first career goal inside this blog post.
We're gonna need a bigger boat.
(Okay, that's my second shark/"Jaws" reference of the night and I promise I'm done.) Moving along.
After an optional morning skate today at Nationwide Arena, the Blue Jackets talked about "emptying the tanks" tonight against the San Jose Sharks -- which is another pretty good shark pun, but I digress. They played a reliable and aggressive game on Sunday against the Edmonton Oilers and didn't get the result they were looking for, but they did not let it deter them.
Make no bones about it: this was an important game for the Blue Jackets tonight. They really wanted to win this one before heading out on the road for a lengthy trip, and they pretty much did what they wanted to do.
The stats don't lie, either. A total of 14 different Blue Jackets checked in on the scoresheet tonight and six different players scored goals. Among them were Brandon Dubinsky with his first goal in the union blue sweater, and young blue liner Cody Goloubef, who has filled in admirably on defense and tallied his first career goal this evening.
Matt Calvert (two assists), Dubinsky (goal and assist), and Nick Foligno (two assists) all recorded multi-point games for Columbus, and it shouldn't come as a surprise that those three guys play on the same line. Blue Jackets coach Todd Richards put the trio together prior to Sunday's game and they seemed to click right away, so why break them up? They rewarded their coach with a terrific performance that catalyzed the team's biggest offensive output of the season.
Get the full post-game breakdown inside this blog post.
Watching games with an empty, helpless feeling is getting pretty old for Cam Atkinson.
On injured reserve since Jan. 27 (and retroactive to Jan. 23) with a lower body injury, the 23-year-old forward is aching to get back in the lineup and help a Blue Jackets offense that has been struggling to score goals.
Before his injury, Atkinson had scored one goal in Columbus' first three games -- a beautiful breakaway goal in the home opener against Detroit -- after scoring 17 goals and 38 points in 33 games with Springfield (AHL). His goal-scoring presence has been missed in recent weeks, but with some patient rehabbing and constant monitoring of his injury, Atkinson is optimistic that he will be back on the ice soon.
Along with two other injured Blue Jackets, John Moore and Adrian Aucoin, Atkinson took part in his first team practice today since the injury. All three hope to be on the Blue Jackets' upcoming road trip to California, but Atkinson in particular has the Feb. 15 game in Los Angeles circled as a potential return date.

War and Peace
by Leo Tolstoy
War and Peace Volume 1, Part 1, Chapter 20 Summary
- Pierre goes into the room, which is laid out for a service, or final mass. Old Count Bezukhov lies holding a candle under a couple of icons. The priests conduct the service.
- In the middle of it, there's a passive-aggressive contest between the two sides. First Princess Drubetskoy crosses the whole room to give Pierre a candle. Then Prince Vassily and Catiche disappear to prepare the Count's bedroom for his actual death. Oh yeah, baby, who's important now?
- After extreme unction is over, they move the Count to his room and Princess Drubetskoy gestures to Pierre to sit next to him and kiss his hand. The Count's eyes are open but he is not really responsive.
- Then he growls something they interpret as, "roll me onto my side facing the wall." Pierre does that, and as he's doing it, he freaks out at seeing his father's totally dead stroke arm. The Count notices his disgust and smiles a little bit.
- Seeing this smile sends Pierre over the edge, and he starts weeping. It's his dad, after all.
- The Count dozes off, and Pierre and Princess Drubetskoy leave the room.

A forty-year-old man, who is charged in connection with an aggravated burglary in Pallasgreen last month, has been released from custody after he was granted bail by the High Court.
Christopher Stokes of St Anthony's Park, Knocknaheeny in Cork city is accused of entering Sunville House, Pallasgreen shortly before 10pm on April 16th.
It is alleged the defendant - an unemployed married father-of-three - was one of four men who entered the house armed with a sawn-off shotgun, a baseball bat and a sledge hammer.

Longford Town Council has been allocated €208, 670 for a range of efficiency works for the swimming pool in Longford town.
In a statement, the Department of Transport said the money had been granted following an initial application by the Council under the local authority swimming pool scheme in which Longford was unsuccessful.
It is believed the money will go towards the installation of a wood pellet burner, more efficient lighting, and other energy usage and water consumption measures. At a recent sitting of Longford Town Council, Town Clerk Dan Rooney said the installation of a similar wood pellet heating system had saved other local authorities thousands in their heating bills.

A Ballina woman appeared in local district court on the charge of failing a roadside breath test whilst driving her three young children.
Donna Murray (34), of Gortogher, Cloghans, Ballina, has contested charges against her of drink-driving and dangerous driving dating back to November 11, 2011.
According to reports, Murray was swerving on the roads and was promptly pulled over. The officer noticed three children, aged 3, 7, and 8 in the rear seat, and administered a breath test.
The Judge in the case has postponed doling out a verdict until May 22nd.
A Meath aviation broker known as "The Boxer" who was jailed for conspiring to import $9 million in drugs has been ordered to hand over precious stones and over €200,000 to the State.
John Kinsella (42), a former Irish super heavyweight boxing champion, was sentenced to 12 years in 2009 after pleading guilty to conspiring with others to import cocaine and heroin from Belgium between September 22 and 26, 2006.
Judge Tony Hunt ordered that Kinsella, of Carnewood, Johnstown, Navan Co. Meath forfeit precious stones being held by police to the State.
He also ordered that 75% of the value of funds and assets contained in a schedule of Kinsella's assets be forfeited.

Retailers and businesses in Clones have become the first town in Ireland to accept three currencies as payment - euros, old Irish punts and Sterling.
The idea came from Tony Morgan, who saw reports on the Spanish fishing village of Mugardos where 60 local stores had reintroduced the peseta.
Clones Chamber of Commerce confirmed that, as of last Saturday, some 42 businesses in the town are now accepting old Irish notes and coins - in addition to euros and sterling.
Morgan is grateful for the solidarity of other businesses getting involved because "if I had suggested in the town to bring back the punt on my own they would have sent some boys out with a straitjacket for me."

The lack of funding for footpaths in Edenderry was lamented at the May meeting of the Town Council earlier this month.
"It's a sad day for Edenderry," said Cllr Fergus McDonnell. Area Engineer Damien Grennan had said there was no money for new footpaths.
"We will continue to repair and maintain existing footpaths, but there is no money for anything else. There are no grants to apply for either," he added.
"The only works that will be done will be repairs where there is a safety issue," clarified Mr Grennan.
