So he shipped out forwards Troy Murphy, Mike Dunleavy Jr., Ike Diogu and guard Keith McLeod to the Indiana Pacers in a dramatic overhaul of his roster.
In return, the Warriors received forward Al Harrington, whom Golden State had diligently pursued over the summer, swingman Stephen Jackson, whose mercurial talent has been counterbalanced by his off-the-floor problems, veteran point guard Sarunas Jasikevicius and young big man Josh Powell.
It's the Warriors' largest deal, in terms of total players, since a nine-man deal that netted them Nick Van Exel in August 2003 and by far the biggest move of Mullin's three-year career.
In one bold stroke, Mullin divested his team of three players he had either drafted in the topfrom Sports 1
10 (Diogu) or lavished with pricey contract extensions (Murphy and Dunleavy). In their place, he added an athletic, skilled pair of frontcourt players in the form of 6-foot-9 Harrington and 6-foot-8 Jackson, a solid backup point guard in Jasikevicius and a potential diamond in the rough in Powell.
"Chris and I have been talking about the change we need to make on the team for a long time," Warriors coach Don Nelson said.
Not just something, but something good. The Warriors may not be getting the Kevin Garnett-style star fans coveted, but they got out from under the onerous deals of Dunleavy and Murphy who are still due a combined $87.8 million on contracts that run through the 2010-11 season without giving up guard Jason Richardson or youngsters Monta Ellis or Andris Biedrins.
"We do feel good about it, retaining the guys we did and adding the players that we will," Mullin said. "I think with the players we acquired, style of play is a big consideration, and we feel they will flourish."
The Warriors will save at least $32.4 million over the next 51/2 seasons, assuming they were going to extend Diogu's rookie contract to its end. And that figure could climb to $46.4 million if Jasikevicius and Harrington opt out of the final seasons of their deals.
That means the Warriors are in much better shape with regards to keeping players such as Ellis and Biedrins, who are in line for big raises in the near future.
"I think we're making progress," Mullin said of his team's financial status. "Getting the team better, that's always the main focus, but there's always other elements to deals as well."
Stopped on his way to the airport from the team hotel in the morning, Murphy said he wasn't surprised at being packaged with Dunleavy despite their hefty contracts.
"I'm excited for the opportunity, and I wish the Warriors all the best," Murphy said. "I'm excited. I'm really excited."
By getting rid of the 6-11 Murphy, 6-9 Dunleavy and 6-8 Diogu, the Warriors would seem to be wedding themselves for the foreseeable future to the kind of small ball that Nelson prefers.
"Stature and production sometimes are different things," Mullin said. "I think we still maintain the ability (to go big) and maybe in some areas increased it by getting some points in the post. ... I don't think we've limited ourselves by the guys we've acquired."
Warriors point guard Baron Davis said he could sense change in the wind in recent days.
"You could feel it," Davis said. "There was a type of feeling that, the way we were playing, that unless we made it up in our minds to come together as a unit, something was going to happen."
Davis and Harrington both have offseason homes in Las Vegas, and Davis had been the Warriors' biggest champion as they pursued the forward over the summer. Harrington eventually wound up with Indiana via a sign-and-trade deal with his former team, the Atlanta Hawks.
"It's great," Davis said. "I mean, Al is like my brother. We're like brothers, for real. As well as Stephen Jackson. They're both like brothers to me, guys I work out with over the summer, guys I've been knowing since high school. They're very talented and versatile. I think it's something that we need. They're definitely going to make us a better team."
Davis said he had spoken to both Harrington and Jackson and that they were both planning to be at the Warriors' practice facility Thursday.
"I'm surprised, happy at the same time," Harrington told the Indianapolis Star. "Obviously if you want the whole truth, I wanted to play in Golden State in the summer. I was like, 'This was my 1A-1B options.' I'm looking forward to it."
Jackson brings considerable legal baggage. He's due in an Indianapolis court on Feb. 12 to face a felony charge of criminal recklessness and two other misdemeanor charges after an altercation outside a local strip club ended with Jackson firing at least five shots, according to police.
Additionally, Jackson must be in Rochester Hills, Mich., on Jan. 26 after pleading not guilty to violating his probation. He faces a maximum sentence of 93 days in jail.
Jackson was on probation after pleading no contest to misdemeanor assault charges stemming from a charge into the crowd during the Pacers' infamous brawl with the Detroit Pistons at the Palace of Auburn Hills on Nov. 19, 2004. Jackson was also suspended 30 games by the NBA for his actions.
"We've got to feel strongly that a lot of those things are behind (Jackson), and he's looking to come here and get a new start and help us win games and focus on his basketball career," Mullin said. "That's something his lawyers obviously are going to handle, and something I can't really comment on right now, but of course we'll be in total support of him."

- Almond: U.S. hardly perfect, but advances in World Cup
- Thompson: U.S. stares down Group of Death, doesn't blink
- Wilner: U.S. has Ronaldo to thank for World Cup advancement
- World Cup: Fan interest on rise after Americans advance despite loss
SAO PAULO -- Defender Jan Vertonghen scored from a rebound in the 78th minute to give 10-man Belgium a 1-0 victory over South Korea on Thursday to clinch top spot in Group H at the World Cup.
It was Belgium's third straight victory of the group stage and set up a meeting with the United States in the round of 16, with Tuesday's match set for a 1 p.m. start.
South Korea was eliminated with the loss -- joining the other three Asian nations at the tournament.
Vertonghen was a stand-in captain for injured star Vincent Kompany. He knocked in the winner after South Korean goalkeeper Kim Seung-gyu had saved a shot from Divock Origi.
Belgium was reduced to 10 men just before the break when Steven Defour was sent off for a two-footed challenge, but South Korea couldn't capitalize.

Othello Warfare Quotes
How we cite our quotes: Citations follow this format: (Act.Scene.Line). Line numbers correspond to the Norton edition.
Quote #10
Soft you. A word or two before you go.
I have done the state some service, and they
know 't.
No more of that. I pray you, in your letters,
When you shall these unlucky deeds relate,
Speak of me as I am. Nothing extenuate,
Nor set down aught in malice. Then must you speak
Of one that loved not wisely, but too well;
Of one not easily jealous, but being wrought,
Perplexed in the extreme; of one whose hand,
Like the base Judean, threw a pearl away
Richer than all his tribe; of one whose subdued
Albeit unused to the melting mood,
Drop tears as fast as the Arabian trees
Their medicinal gum. Set you down this.
And say besides, that in Aleppo once,
Where a malignant and a turbanned Turk
Beat a Venetian and traduced the state,
I took by the throat the circumcisèd dog,
And smote him, thus. [He stabs himself. ]
Here, Othello says he "loved" Desdemona "too well" (too much), which suggests that he doesn't really understand the implications of what he's done. We're also interested in the way Othello wants to control the way people think of him (after his death). He wants to be remembered as a soldier who "has done the state some service" and who has killed a lot of Venice's enemies. Yet, he also seems to think of his murder of Desdemona as a crime against the Venetian state, as he compares himself to a "turban'd Turk" by killing himself with the same sword he has used to smite Venice's enemies on the battlefield.

There is no secret mod knowledge
Not quite the same thing as "I have no inside information". It seems you're no longer content with fucking with other people's posts: you now want to reword your own retrospectively.Now, are you going to answer the other points, or are you simply unable to? You talk about serious arguments, but it seems you don't really want to argue unless there's a cheap point or a false accusation you think you could make.Actually, I just realized it's pretty pointless arguing with you. It's a bit like arguing with the busboy over the meal the chef cooked.It's your bosses I really should be talking to.I like dogs. You always know what a dog is thinking. It has four moods. Happy, sad, cross and concentrating. Also, dogs are faithful and they do not tell lies because they cannot talk.

I have been elected to chair of the SPEC OSG Java Subcommittee, which is responsible for Java benchmarks such as SPECjbb2005, SPECjappserver2004, and SPECjms2007 (plus a few in development). The first month has been entertaining to say the least, but its been a lot of fun so far. Thanks to everyone in OSG Java for helping me take this on. I've got big shoes to fill and I can't help feeling intimidated from time to time. The folks on the subcommittee are great and their patience and support have been a big help. Thanks!

Cyber criminals hack Netflix: Symantec
Cyber criminals are stealing user's login credentials for popular online streaming service, Netflix, in an attempt to steal banking information, according to recent research by Symantec.

LG has patched a security flaw in an application preinstalled on millions of its Android G3 smartphones that researchers found could be used to steal a variety of data.
Trend Micro has launched an initiative to help protect users from potential security threats during the FIFA World Cup that begins on 12 June.
Trend Micro has launched free Heartbleed scanners for PC and Android devices.
McAfee has released a free version of its mobile security app.
Trend Micro's Titanium Maximum Security can help you keep your entire digital life safe from harmful viruses and privacy threats.
Trend Micro's Titanium Maximum Security 2013 is an all-encompassing security suite for PCs and Android devices. It can protect against viruses, spyware and other Web threats, in addition to providing a few extra features such as parental controls, cloud storage and password management. It builds on the 2012 version by incorporating social networking protection, data theft prevention and Facebook profile privacy checking.
If you use your mobile device to browse many Web sites that require a username and password, keeping track of all those credentials, as well as entering them each time you want to use them, can be a pian. Letting the Web browser remember the details for them can be a security risk, too. Trend Micro's DirectPass app aims to be a central and secure repository for all those credentials, so you won't have to keep entering them each time you visit those sites
An all-around solid defender and efficient performer, Symantec's Norton Internet Security 2012 (AU$89 for one year and three PCs as of 7 May, 2012) has a slick, user-friendly interface and solid malware detection and removal capabilities.
As well as the anti-virus, identity protection, parental control and firewall modules in Norton Internet Security 2012, Norton 360 v6 includes PC tuning and online backup.
Bitdefender is a Romanian company which has been making Windows anti-virus software since 2001. After an over-zealous makeover last year, the company now claims it has 'the sharp mind of the wolf and the sleekness of the dragon, the vigilance of the alpha-male and the indestructibility of the snake's body'. It writes software.
Installing and using a security suite on a desktop PC or laptop (in fact, especially a laptop) can be a frustrating experience. Pop-ups, incessant messages to update and upgrade, not to mention performance hits, are often traits of these programs. Trend Micro's Titanium Maximum Security 2012 aims to be more user-friendly on all those fronts and it's mostly successful.
Bitdefender Internet Security 2012 comes in third in our 2012 roundup of security suites. But although it earned the bronze overall, it captured the highest rating in our malware detection, blocking, and removal tests. Those fantastic results, combined with the software's excellent interface, make it a great choice.
Trend Micro's Mobile Security Personal Edition app is worth considering if you want some peace of mind when it comes to security concerns with your smartphone. It features a real-time app scanner and Web site filtering that can detect malware, and it's also able to block nuisance calls and unwanted text messages. Most importantly though, it can be used to track, lock or even wipe a lost phone.
Users looking for a free antimalware product to protect themselves have long enjoyed Avira, which is available in a no-cost version for personal use, but which subjects you to a single daily pop-up urging you to buy the full suite.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

The Hastings Chamber of Commerce wants to show the rest of the state how important the city's regional center is.
Chamber members are hoping to do commercials to show the state at its senators that they have no choice but to vote against closing the regional center.
To produce commercials, they say they'll need to raise $10,000 to $15,000. The chamber has already sent out letters to business partners, asking for $25 donations.
So far, the organization has raised $4,000.
Nebraska's three regional centers have been the focus of study under Gov. Mike Johanns' plan to provide fewer institutional settings and more community-based programs for the mentally ill.
Johanns proposed keeping the Lincoln center open and closing the regional centers in Hastings and Norfolk.

Saturday, Feb. 22, 2014
ROME, Ga. (AP) -- A live online video stream from a bald eagle's nest at Berry College shows the family of eagles has gained a new member.
One tiny gray hatchling became visible in the nest Saturday, alongside one as-yet unhatched egg. An adult eagle carefully snuggled against the eaglet and the egg, getting up occasionally to check on them.
The college has been live-streaming video from the nest, showing the daily activities of the two adult bald eagles, which have been nesting near the school's athletic and recreation center. One egg appeared Jan. 14 and another came two days later.
The public can follow the pair 24 hours a day here, as well as on Berry College's website.
The eagles also have their own Facebook page.

George Eyser was a gymnast from the early part of the 1900s. Although gymnasts aren't usually considered manly, anyone who can throw his body 20 feet into the air and do a bunch of sweet backflips before kissing the ground with his tiny, cat-like feet is aces in our books. Of all the gymnasts in history, Eyser probably stands out as one of the best–why? Because Eyser competed with a wooden leg.
After hearing that we understand if your first question is, how did he lose his leg? While little is known about Eyser's early life we do know that he was born in Germany and at some point in his childhood his family emigrated to the United States and he lost the majority of his leg when a train ran over it. When an eighty ton machine powered by the burning corpses of dinosaurs cutting off your goddamn leg is little more than a footnote on your Wikipedia entry, you know that your life is destined for greatness.
Now for most people losing a limb is a life-changing event. However, for Eyser, losing his leg just meant that kicking ass was way easier, since he now had a bitchin' wooden prosthesis that doubled as a rudimentary clubbing device. Despite having his leg designed and fitted over a century ago, when prosthetic technology was a shadow of what it is today, Eyser's new, more sturdy limb was sufficiently awesome enough to allow Eyser to run, jump and generally tell life to kiss his increasingly sculpted ass.
Eyser eventually decided that he wanted to compete for the country that had given him a home, and since being a badass wasn't an Olympic event yet, he set his sights on a gymnastics medal. Now normally training for a gymnastics medal, or indeed any Olympic medal usually involves a lifetime of training and hard work. But come on, Eyser hadn't let a train stop him from being an athlete, it's not like he was going to let being 30 years old stop him, was it? We're really starting to think Eyser's leg leapt off of his body on its own to avoid all the hard work it was going to be put through.
But yes, at the ripe old age of 33, a veritable pensioner in athletic terms, Eyser entered the Olympics just to show all those whippersnappers how a man makes love to gravity. Now his first few competitions went about as well as you'd expect from a guy who had to hop in the shower. He got nowhere near the top spots in any event he entered and he even came dead last in the triathlon event he entered because doing backflips for four hours straight wasn't hard enough already. However, we'd really like to stress the point that he had one less leg than everyone else competing. The fact he was able to run the 100-yard dash in under 16 seconds with a chunk of wood instead of an actual human leg should make everyone reading this do a dropkick out of respect.
However, it's what George did in his second set of competition that catapulted him into the history books. Presumably just to prove that everyone with two legs was living life on easy mode, he went right ahead and won six medals in one day. We'd like to point out that three of those medals were gold. George's gold medals were in the horse vault (which was done without a springboard), the parallel bars and the rope climb. All of which are events that you'll notice are made dramatically easier when you're able to scissor-kick your opponents without giving them splinters.
Just for a second picture a man with a wooden leg and a German accent running at a pommel horse and throwing himself ten feet through the air before landing like such an OG he was immediately given a gold medal. That's not a gold medal-winning gymnastic performance, that's the cure for eye cancer in front-flip form.
But here's the best part, George Eyser is the first person in history to compete in an Olympic event with a prosthetic limb: a record he held for a century until a swimmer with a prosthetic limb competed in the 2008 Beijing Olympics. However, that swimmer didn't win a medal, which means that Eyser is the only athlete in history to win an Olympic medal with a prosthetic limb, ever. And he won six of them in one day. The only explanation we can think of is that George's leg was carved from a tree that was struck by lightning made of middle fingers.

Unity Institute and Seminary is devoted to continuing the spiritual education work of Charles and Myrtle Fillmore, founders of the Unity movement. Education became a central part of Unity early in its history. As the Fillmores began the Unity movement, they also began teaching practical Christianity.
In 1909 the Fillmores organized the Correspondence School, which provided Unity teachings for those outside the Kansas City area. Today the Spiritual Education and Enrichment program (SEE) provides classes for adults on spiritual development and leadership in the classroom and online.
While the Unity Society of Practical Christianity ordained its first ministers in 1906, formal Unity Ministerial Training didn't begin until 1931. Today Unity Institute and Seminary offers a Master of Divinity and a Diploma program for individuals sharing Unity's message in chaplaincy, alternative ministries and spiritual communities. Through the cooperative relationship formed with Unity Worldwide Ministries, Unity Institute and Seminary serves the Unity movement's needs for licensed Unity teachers, ministers and ministries.
Unity Institute and Seminary is committed to the adult educational model in which each student comes to the school as a result of the spiritual journey that began earlier in his or her soul's enfoldment. The faculty and staff are committed to and the program is designed to guide each person to acquire the skills, knowledge and consciousness that are needed for the fulfillment of this goal. It is in this way that Unity Institute and Seminary continues the work of spiritual education begun by the Fillmores more than 100 years ago.
Unity Institute, through outstanding higher education, develops ministers and other leaders who live spiritual principles and inspire transformation.
Spirit-Centeredness: We act from a Spirit-Centered Consciousness with the consistent awareness of God as the One Presence and One Power within each of us.
Oneness: We celebrate our diversity while acknowledging we are one in Spirit.
Integrity: We act in harmony with our deeply held beliefs and values, and we honor the agreements we make with others.
Excellence: We set our expectations high and challenge ourselves to exceed them as we educate and develop students. We are continuously growing and improving as we move toward the vision of what can be.
Faith: As instruments of the Divine, we co-create our future through steadfast vision of the Good. With God as our Source, we trust spiritual principles and expect unlimited possibilities.
All the activities of the Unity movement are united under one primary purpose: learning and expressing what it means to live a God-Centered life. As a movement from within Christianity, Unity seeks to bring awareness and clarity to what a God-Centered life means for people in everyday living. It is focused on the meaning of Jesus Christ and his teachings as the basic source of this understanding. Unity relates all of life to God and learning to bring a consciousness of the activity of God into every life situation.

"Revolution" Ends, "TMNT/Batman:TAS" Begins in IDW's November 2016 Solicitations
Comic Books
Here is the latest in our year-long look at one cool comic (whether it be a self-contained work, an ongoing comic or a run on a long-running title that featured multiple creative teams on it over the years) a day (in no particular order whatsoever)! Here's the archive of the comics posted so far!
Today we look at the Death Jr. Halloween Ashcan from Image Comics in 2005, written by Joe Morrisey and drawn by Guy Davis!
Death Jr. is a video game that has had a much better life as a comic book character, mostly through the work of writer Gary Whitta and artist Ted Naifeh.
This short ashcan, though, is by a different creative team. However, when you have Guy Davis on your creative team, you automatically win.
This comic shows DJ (Death, Jr., son of the Grim Reaper, natch) and his lovable (if spooky) friends going trick or treating.
Cute, huh?
Here they are at Mother Nature's house, with her lame daughter…
And here they are dealing with some local high schoolers…
The ending to the issue is a real pip – well worth picking up. Heck, just look at the Guy Davis artwork!!! Why wouldn't you want this comic book? It can't be very expensive! It's on eBay for, like, 5 bucks.
Brian, I miss the days last year when you'd excerpt other parts but include the ending… if I bought every single comic you put on the daily feature and these monthly specials, I'd be broke!
Can I suggest Batman #237 as part of the Halloween countdown?
Is Furi urinating in that panel?
Ha! I am (sorta) sorry, Graeme!

There's something magical about watching a young child discover dance. The shrieks of excitement as they experience the pure joy of moving to music. The spark of confidence that begins to shine in their eyes. The bounty of creativity and imagination that each child comes pre-wired with. It's an incredibly rewarding experience for a child to begin to feel mastery over their bodies and minds. And it's an exciting journey we make as parents watching our child grow into a thing of beauty, athleticism, and grace. We applaud their accomplishments along the way and hold our breath for every missed step. And our children dazzle us in the end as they dance into independence.
If you are just beginning your journey into the world of dance and music, know that it is a precious gift you are giving your child. The list of physical and cognitive benefits is vast and well documented. But the psychological benefit of possessing a great skill as an adolescent is priceless. It is an anchor that lasts through high school and beyond, long past the days spent in the dance studio. It carries over into adulthood as confidence, the ability to speak in public, and feeling comfortable in your own skin.
What makes Sugar Land Dance Center different?
- Child Development Done Right: Dance and music are incredible tools for developing children, but if the class isn't enjoyable, they will never reap the benefits. The SLDC curriculum has been designed to introduce material at physiological and mentally-appropriate ages with a fun and engaging method.
- Class Uniform included with your registration fee: New students receive a leotard and tights when they register for classes.
- Our Class Sizes: The size of classes are limited so each student can get plenty of individual help and attention from the experts.
- Our Organization: You will always know what is happening at the studio. We give parents recital, holiday, and other important dates far in advance. We know you have plenty of other things going on in your life and don't have time for surprises.
- Immediate Customer Assistance: The studio is staffed during all regular class times so you can get immediate assistance.
- Every Day is a Viewing Day: Watch your child dance every class and see their progress. Unlike other schools, our windows are always open.
- Age-Appropriate Dance Costumes and Music: The costumes for performances are great for all shapes and sizes and we use music without explicit lyrics to keep dance fun and positive. You shouldn't have to worry about your child growing up too quickly.
- Hassle-Free Recitals: Parents get to enjoy a short (45-60 minutes), enjoyable show. No backstage volunteering, no costume alterations, no extra work…we do it all for you so you can relax and enjoy the performance.

I was wondering if Valyrian steel could stand against the swords of the Others and also if they could kill Others.
The Night's Watch would like to know as well.
In ACoK it was mentioned that the Darrys line had been ended except for a unnamed bastard. Since in ASoS we learned that the Darrys had stayed loyal to the Targaryen and lost most of their power for it, and since a Darry saved Dany, I was wondering if Dany was going to meet the bastard and legitimize him?
Anything is possible. Some Freys have Darry blood as well, though.
Bran often speaks of the crow teaching him how to "fly". Is it fly in the physical sense or fly in the sense of improving his minds ability to leave his body.
No comment.
Also, I have heard that Bran and Arya will spend AFfC training and that they will have the least amount of POV chapters. Is that true???
No comment.

Marcos Martinez disappears for a while
Story Text & Photos © 2012 by DR1
Feb 28 2012 10:29AM
- Marco Martinez, the presenter of the Diario 55 show, did not appear on his program, yesterday, Thursday February 23, after it was revealed by the Danish authorities that the First Lady, Margarita Cedeno de Fernandez was not a client of Danske Bank. Journalists in Santiago said that Martinez was not taking calls, not opening the door at his house and had not been to his office either. Late last night a message was issued from his residence saying that he had gone to Santo Domingo, and in a telephone interview with `El gobierno de la tarde` radio talk show, he confirmed that the source of his information was very credible and that he had documents to prove his accusations. He said that he placed no importance on the document stating that Margarita Cedeno de Fernandez had no relationship with Danske bank. He also said that members of the PLD had tried to buy his silence without success. According to Hoy, last night Thursday February 23 Martinez filed a complaint claiming that there was a plot to stab him to death, for which he blamed the Governor of Santiago, Raul Martinez and a journalist, Juan Bonilla.

Writing about conflict in Africa is a tricky thing. Publications from non-governmental organizations and human rights campaigners often read as if they were calibrated to maximize public distress, and thus the political or financial support that would keep human rights institutions in business. Many journalistic accounts are stitched together from the rhetorical and analytical remnants of a colonial and sometimes racist common sense. Against this backdrop, fine-grained empirical studies like those typically produced by anthropologists, historians and geographers take on a particular salience. They stake out a privileged space for explaining other logics, other incentives, and different causal relations that could make sense out of wars, insurgencies and other forms of violence that appear irrational to Europeans and North Americans.
Mike McGovern is Assistant Professor of Anthropology at Yale University, where he also serves as Director of Graduate Studies of the Council on African Studies. He is the author of Making War in Côte d'Ivoire and a forthcoming book on socialist-era Guinea entitled Unmasking the State. Email email@example.com

The Brookfield Bulldogs dropped to 4-1 on the season with a 21-9 loss at Homecoming against Centralia. The Bulldog offense struggled to gain yards with many of the skill position players suffering injuries and missing a lot of time on the field.
Two of the Panthers three scores came on long runs, while the third came on a grinding drive that ate a lot of time in the second half.
Brookfield's scores came on three field goals from "The Golden Boot" Arturo Huerta. One of these kicks came from 41 yards on the evening.
Brookfield travels to South Shelby next week for another Clarence Cannon Conference battle.

Why be the Sexy Fill-in-the Blank like everyone else? I don't know about you, but I'm so sick of seeing slutty-this and slutty-that on Halloween. Where's the creativity in that?
Here are three thought-provoking ideas to try this year and that will still have you the star of the party even without your booty hanging out!
Conservative Halloween Costumes that Also Happen to be Cool
1. Nudists On Strike.
This costume is cost effective (okay it's free, comfortable, and INGENIOUS!) Here's smartie pants Susan Schwartz working the idea.
2. Mary Poppins.
You'll need a dress and an umbrella, most of which you may already own.) Each year Natasha Cox continues to amaze with her costumes and this one was not only adorable, but cheap too and in fact here she used a Thanksgiving apron as her dress but who can tell? "I made the hat with cheap flowers and a hot glue gun!" she says. Here she is rockin' it (also seen above and both with her chimney sweep sidekick and fiancé Louie).
3. Embrace Actual Costumes.
Each year, Kirby Wells tries a new costume. She stays warm, is the talk of the party, and has a blast. "I'm lucky because I can fit into kid-sized costumes too," she says, "so it saves on cost!" If you're petite, check the kid's aisle yourself!
Do you have a killer idea yourself? Please share!

SIKESTON - An ordinance approving the relocation of Dudley Drive was approved by the Sikeston City council during this morning's special council meeting.
The relocation was approved during the special meeting as it is a time-sensitive matter, according to Carroll Couch, city clerk.
The road is being moved to facilitate Missouri Delta Medical Center's plans for a new dialysis unit.
The special city council meeting also included briefings and first readings for action to take place during the Aug. 5 regular city council meeting.

What the- what the actual hell?! Your eyes would've widened if not for the fact that they were now useless buttons sewn onto fabric. Wait then how were you able to see? In any case, Arthur's face paled as he loomed over you.
"(y/n)?" He muttered, his voice boomingly loud. Couldn't he talk a bit quieter? "O-Oh god, I'm so sorry!"
Don't just be sorry ya wanker! Do something!
The Englishman scrambled around, frantically searching through the bookcase that was stuffed full of old dusty tomes, a lot of them seemingly ancient. "Either the spell will wear off, or we need a counter." He muttered to himself, his breath hitching in his throat as he threw the book down and reached for another.
A-A counter? What like ANOTHER spell? No thanks Arthur, you'd rather take your chances and just wait until it vanished. You tried to move your limbs, but it -it was as if all the bones had been removed from your body and replaced with cardboard. Which was probably pretty accurate for your now doll-like state.
The uniform you'd been wearing had been recreated to the smallest detail, even the badges you had pinned to your blazer. Your hair was made up of soft threads and your eyes were buttons, sewn on to your face.
Arthur huffed loudly, carelessly throwing book after dusty book over his shoulder, desperately searching for one that could grant you your human form again, but to no avail.
"What's going on in here?"
Arthur froze, stiffly turning around to see Ivan's head sticking through the door. "N-nothing." He quailed, snatching you from where you lay on the desk and hiding you behind his back as conspicuously as possible.
Nice move, idiot.
Arthur was aware of how much of a crush Ivan had on you, things like that do get discussed in the men's locker room quite often. Or well it goes something like this; Gilbert and either of his pals 'claim' a girl for a week and anyone with objections may voice them.
When the albino's eye had fallen on you however, Ivan made sure that he didn't go anywhere near you, ever again. With that he'd told everyone that if they were aiming for you, they'd have to get past him first.
You on the other hand, found him one of the shyest guys you'd ever met. He couldn't express himself very well and often struggled to do so, a large blush appearing on his face that got concealed by his pale pink scarf.
He was sweet, nice and reliable, pretty much everything you wanted. So it was no surprise that when you saw your vodka-drinking friend, you perked up and started calling for him. Unfortunately due to being a child's toy, you could only shout at him mentally.
"What've you got there?" He asked, tilting his head to the side as he stepped closer to Arthur. The blond scraped his throat, his green eyes darting this way and that to find a means for escape.
"I-Is that Alfred calling me?! Got to go!" He told him quickly, speeding past him as he clutched you to his chest. Ivan stepped in front of him and snagged you out of his hands.
Arthur squeaked in distress reaching to get a hold of you again, but Ivan merely pushed him away and kept that one hand on his forehead.
Due to Ivan's much longer arms, Arthur flailed pathetically, not even getting close to you.
"(Y/n)?" Ivan said, your heart skipping a beat when you saw a strange look in eye. "N-no, what am I saying, it can't be her." He muttered, a frown crossing his face for a moment as he examined you closer.
"Why have you got this?" He asked Arthur and when he didn't get a reply he looked down at him. Or well, he looked down at the spot where he'd been until a moment or so ago.
You traitor! How dare you abandon me!
Ivan blinked at then looked down at you again. No point in keeping it... he thought. He stood over the trashcan, holding you over it with one hand.
What noooo! Ivan! It's me! It's me!
His eyes were closed and his eyebrows furrowed, as though he was in a battle within himself. Finally he sighed and tucked you under his arm again, his one-sided love for you getting the better of him. He couldn't just throw something away that looked like you, even if it wasn't you.
And that was how you ended up at Ivan's house. Of course he had to fend off his little sister as he stepped into the house, but the small girl ended up clinging to his legs as he continued up the stairs. He managed to get her off of him though, the moment his big sister called out to them that dinner was going to be served soon.
The Russian set you down gently on his bed, laying you against the pillow with such delicacy; it was as if he treasured you above everything else in the world. With a soft pat on the head, he left going off to get his dinner with his siblings.
Now that you realised it, it was the first time you were in his room and you were left alone no less. Had you been able to, you would've examined every crook and cranny the room had to offer. But since you were effectively paralysed, all you could do was look straight ahead of you and wait for him to return or that that blasted curse miraculously undid itself.
God it was taking him houuuurs! You whined silently, almost dropping off to sleep as you waited and waited for something, anything to happen. Dinner couldn't have taken that long surely? He was probably finishing up with some homework or something... Then again he had left his bookbag up here so how was that possible?
Ivan answered your unspoken question as he entered his room shirtless with a pair of soft-looking slacks on. What made you stare at him wasn't his lack of clothing nor his wet hair that was dripping onto the fluffy towel which lay snugly around his neck it was the fact that he wasn't wearing his scarf.
As long as you'd known him he'd always worn it, the bottom half of his face always hidden from you. Recently you'd wanted to pull the fabric away from his face and explore every single dip and curve of his jaw, trace his full lips carefully with your fingertips and simply see what he yearned to hide. You wanted to be the only one to see him like that, in a vulnerable state he hid for everyone else.
Clearing your throat, you managed to get your head out of the clouds and came down to earth with a thump. Well a thump of your heart more like. Ivan's violet gaze was trained right at you and he stared at you with a puzzled look of pure curiousness.
Gingerly lifting you up with both his hands he plopped down on his bed and traced your face with his thumb.
"Exactly the same..." he whispered as he wondered, teasing the ends of your hair with a chuckle. With a contented sigh he dropped himself on his back, making you squeak at the suddenness of the gesture.
Smiling adoringly at you he cradled you to his wide chest, humming to himself as his toes wiggled about. "You know you're really cute!" He told you, holding you above his head and talking to you as if you were back to normal.
"Except I just wish I could say that to your face and not just to a doll that looks like you." Pressing a kiss to your forehead he gasped lightly. "That's strange.... doll? You kind of smell just like her." He took in your weak scent, a blush appearing on his face.
"God I must seem like a pervert now, don't I little (y/n)?" He asked sheepishly, referring to you in doll form.
Actually that was kind of cute. You answered him straightfaced, not that he could hear you. "I wasn't able to see (y/n) that much today..." he murmured with a childish pout of his lips, scowling as he remembered how animatedly you were talking with the others today.
"Why can't you love me (y/n)?" The sudden question stunned you, a heated feeling crawling over you. W-What?!
"Why is it so hard to tell you that? And does my heart hurt when I just think about you?" His jaw tensed, his brows furrowed as though he was in pain. Once he'd admitted his feelings, his shoulders felt much lighter somehow and the feeling unsettled him.
"I love you so much (y/n), my precious, beautiful (y/n). Why can't I tell you?" Hugging you tenderly he kissed the top of your head meekly. With a sigh he reached for the lightswitch, flicking it off as he rolled his shoulders.
He wasn't going to-
Ivan snuggled up to you, clutching you against his chest so you could hear his beating heart.
Closing his eyes sleepily, he nuzzled into the pillow to get more comfortable. The warmth that radiated from his skin soaked through the covers and heated yourself up as well. Steady
beating of his heart under your ear, the peacefulness crept up on you and lulled you to sleep.
Don't worry Ivan, I really like you too....
It was about four in the morning when you were jolted awake, an uncomfortable temperature being the cause of it.
With a shriek of realisation you moved your fingers, sitting up and grinning when you saw your normal body once again. The stiff feeling of having bones again was strangely gratifying as you giggled to yourself, giddy with joy.
You froze when you saw how you were sleeping. Currently Ivan's arms were twined around you, not permitting you to leave his grasp easily.
With a massive blush darkening your cheeks, you slipped from his hold, prying his fingers from your sides carefully so as not to wake him. You slipped off your shoes and socks, your blazer following the pile quickly. Sleeping in those was a bad idea as you'd wake up aching no doubt.
Seems like the spell had worn off for now, maybe Arthur was finally right after getting so many things wrong....
You glanced back at Ivan, who was seemingly in distress his hands searching for something warm to latch onto. With a chuckle, you leant down to press your lips to his forehead, interlacing your fingers with his restless ones.
"It's okay, I'm right here." You murmured, caressing his cheek with your lips. Wrinkling his nose, he rubbed his head closer to you. After planting a kiss on his nose, you squealed hastily stopping the sound from coming from your mouth.
Ivan happily nuzzled into your neck, his arms wound around you once again as he moved under the covers. "Don't scare me like that." You muttered, tapping his nose to which his mouth simply twitched up into a smile.
"I really like you Ivan, so don't worry 'kay? I'll be right here by your side. See you in the morning..." He breathed out, a recognisable sound leaving his mouth. With a happy smile you hugged him, burying your face into his bare chest.

Thanks! Yeah, I have to say it was more the client's ideas, but now that I've done this one, I'm probably gonna end up doing more... I've got it in my look-book, so we'll see if more brides request this idea! As to the broach, I got it off etsy.com. http://www.etsy.com/listing/102840726/25-rhinestone-flower-jewelry-element I love buying as much of my supplies off there when I can't find local options... I'd rather support another individual than some massive chain or something.
Nice job thinking outside the flower:) Love the broach, is this a new find or a old one?
Oh, by the way Dorene, this is the Fascinator I was talking to you about where she requested a feather & rhinestone one (with picture!) and later said that she wanted mostly tulle.
Your Fascinator turned out lovely!
Thanks! The bride ended up going another direction, but I loved the way it turned out, for sure!

—Primevil introduction, Etrian Odyssey
Primevil (Yggdrasil Core in Untold) is the true final boss of the first Etrian Odyssey game and its remake.
It can found in the B30F (The sentinel of eternity), the final floor of the Claret Hollows, and is the hardest boss in both games it appears and is by far one of the most powerful entities in the entire series;
This abomination is the sentient Yggdrasil Tree's core, the last stand of the labyrinth. It has many forms of attacks, having control over the three elements to cast devastating, lost spells, or using its long tentacles to rip apart unlucky explorers. Should one survive those forms of attacks, it can devastate its enemies in other ways too, using hallucinating pollen to destroy the mind, or using its powerful magic to rot its victims alive, leaving nothing on it's wake.
In Etrian Odyssey, very little was revealed about Primevil. The only known fact, revealed by the Bestiary Entry (or Monstrous Codex), was that Primevil is the core of the Yggdrasil Tree.
The remake of the first game, Etrian Odyssey Untold, had a Story Mode that provided more of a back-story to it. Renamed as the Yggdrasil Core, Primevil is confirmed to be the main part of one of the seven mighty trees, created during the Yggdrasil Project, a project in which scientists had tried to create something meant to purify the world, absorbing all the pollution so that mankind could live properly again. The trees managed to succeed in their original task. However, due to the enormous amount of pollution absorbed by it, their cores would eventually mutate and become unstoppable monsters. They had hypothesized this, and thus Frederica Irving offered to be shut inside a capsule that would awaken her exactly one-thousand years later. This would eventually lead to the Highlander's task of defeating the Yggdrasil Core and saving the world, mainly the town of Etria.
Primevil (Etrian Odyssey I) Edit
Item Drops
Demon Core
The Labyrinth's core which erected the Claret Hollows to protect itself.
Status Ailments, Binds
Primevil is the final boss of Etrian Odyssey. Not much has been revealed about it; in fact, the only known detail is that Primevil is the core of the great Yggdrasil Tree. Before you can fight it, however, you must have killed the Wyrm once; the beast has a seal on the door that leads you closer to Primevil, which can be unlocked once you defeat it.
Although unnecessary, it is recommended that you also defeat the Dragon and the Drake, as one has sealed a door leading to a healing fountain and the other has sealed a warp area, which would allow you to travel freely from the Stratum entrance to B30F.
Once you step through the Wyrm's unlocked door, you will have to face weaker clones of the three elemental dragons; Drakoid, Dragoid and Wyrmoid in the aforementioned order. You cannot head back, however, once you enter, with the exception of using a Warp Wire.
You may finally battle Primevil after defeating the three clones.
Skills Edit
- Necrosis: Instant death attack on the whole party, high chances of working. Very dangerous, can easily cause a instant Game Over if your party lacks death resistance.
- Explode: Extremely heavy, fire based damage.
- Frigid: Extremely heavy, ice based damage.
- Storm: Extremely heavy, thunder based damage.
- HP Up: Strangely, this attack does nothing, skipping a turn.
- Entangle: Binds all body parts of the whole party. Extremely dangerous if your buffs are about to vanish, rendering you defenseless against the boss powerful attacks.
- Pollen: Inflicts random status ailments to the whole party.
- Smash: Deals heavy crush based damage to the whole party
- Slash: Deals very heavy, slash based damage to one target. 3-4 hits. Very powerful, may kill even with defense buffs.
- Rush: Deals heavy, pierce based damage to random targets. 5-6 hits.
- Resolve: Remove the buffs of the whole party.
Yggdrasil Core (Etrian Odyssey Untold) Edit
|Yggdrasil Core
Land Slash, Activate, Armageddon, Segment, Demon Rush, Explode(incomplete)
Item Drops
Demon Core, True Demon Core (Conditional Drop)
The Labyrinth's core, which erected the Claret Hollows to protect itself.
Fire, Ice, Volt
Yggdrasil Core is the final boss of Etrian Odyssey Untold. Unlike the first game, it has been given a back-story. It is the main antagonist and final boss of the story mode, and an optional final boss of the classic mode. The version fought in the story mode is way weaker than the original core, due to a powerful composite used by the party to weaken it. In order to fight the core at its full strength, you need to reach the labyrinth depths after finishing the game.
When the party finaly reaches the creature's lair, using the final geomagnetic pole, the Highlander uses the Yggdra Virus, given to them by Visil, on Yggdrasil Core, in order to greatly weaken the it. Eventualy, they manage to defeat it, however, not long after that, the monster rises again, with its full power back. Kupala comes to the scene, revealing that her folk's original purpose was to help in destroying the core, and sacrifices herself, giving the Highlander's spear tremendous power, enough to defeat the beast. After a fierce battle, he and the rest of the party suceed in defeating the mighty creature, bringing an end to its terror.
Strategy Edit
Like before, the Yggdrasil Core has a attack pattern. However, this time the boss will change between phases, each one with a distinct order of attacks. Each phase ends when enough damage is dealt, and is hinted by the use the attack Segment. The Yggdrasil Core will always open the fight with Necrosis. The first phase is mostly composed of Physical attacks with elemental attacks every five turns, following the order of Fire, Ice and Volt. When it enters the second phase, it will cast Activate, then proceeds to use status effect moves mostly, with an eventual physical attack and Cell Membrane. Phase 3 is a bit more random. While it focus on elemental attacks every turn, following the aforementioned order, on every turn it has a chance of using a physical attack instead of one of it's spells. Phase 4 is when it goes all-out, using a mix of it's skills.
Keep in mind that, while the Core's resistances are extremely high, it can be bound. A character with high amounts of luck is recommended if you're using those.
While most of the boss' attacks are extremely dangerous, two of them are noteworthy, Root Cyclone and Armageddon. Both attacks inflict extreme amounts of damage, and on higher difficulties may require use of skills such as CPR to survive. Alternatively, both attacks can be stopped by binding Yggdrasil Core's arms and head respectively. Root Cyclone can be blocked with Parry and other similar skills. Armageddon, however, happens outside its attack pattern. Whenever your party has an excessive number of buffs, there is a chance that the boss will use King's Resolve, removing every buff from your party, followed by Armageddon on the next turn. For this reason, weakening the boss is preferable over buffing yourself. Should this happen, however, you can try binding it's head or using CPR to survive the powerful attack.
Bellow follows the attack pattern for each phase:
Be aware that this data was taken from multiple fights with Yggdrasil's Core and may not entirely be accurate.
Phase 1: 90000 HP - 72900 HP
- Opening Move: Necrosis
- Beginning of Loop: Explode, Freezing, Thunderstorm
- Land Slash or Demonic Rush
- Demonic Rush or Land Slash
- End of Loop: Root Cyclone
Phase 2: 72900 HP - 54900 HP
- Opening Move: Segment (9999)
- Beginning of Loop: Activate
- Entangling Ray, Necrosis, Ancient Pollen
- Land Slash or Demonic Rush
- Cell Membrane
- Ancient Pollen, Entangling Ray, Necrosis
- End of Loop: Explode, Freezing, Thunderstorm
Phase 3: 54900 HP - 36900 HP
- Opening Move: Segment (9999)
- Beginning of Loop: Explode, Freezing, Thunderstorm
- Freezing, Thunderstorm, Explode | Land Slash or Demonic Rush
- Land Slash or Demonic Rush | Thunderstorm, Explode, Freezing (if it used a physical attack on the last turn it will use an elemental in this one and vise versa)
- End of Loop: Root Cyclone
Phase 4: 36900 HP - 0 HP
- Opening Move: Segment (24000)
- Beginning of Loop: Entangling Ray, Necrosis, or Ancient Pollen
- Land Slash or Demonic Rush
- Explode, Thunderstorm, Freezing
- Thunderstorm, Freezing, Explode | Root Cyclone
- Root Cyclone | Freezing, Explode, Thunderstorm (if it used a physical attack on the last turn it will use an elemental in this one and vise versa)
- End of Loop: Cell Membrane or Activate
Skills Edit
- Explode: Massive fire damage to the whole party.
- Freezing: Massive ice damage to the whole party.
- Thunderstorm: Massive volt damage to the whole party.
- Demonic Rush: Extremely heavy pierce damage, random targets. hits 6-7 times
- Land Slash: Heavy slash damage to a single target. Hits multiple times.
- Root Cyclone: Extremely heavy damage to the whole party. May bind legs.
- Activate: Improves the boss status attacks, increasing the chance they will work. This works for Ancient Pollen and Necrosis. Can be removed by Metopon or skills with similar effects.
- King's Resolve: Removes all of the party buffs. Used at random points of the fight if your party has a large amount of buffs. The boss will always use Armageddon on the next turn.
- Armageddon: Massive untyped damage to the whole party. Nearly impossible to survive via normal means, as it easily inflicts over 2000 damage.
- Necrosis: Instant death to the whole party. This attack has a very low chance of working, until Activate is used. Afterwards, it becomes extremely deadly, and may cause a instant game over if your characters don't have death resistant equipment.
- Cell Membrane: Blocks all attacks on this turn and launches a powerful counter-attack against the whole party for every attack used against it.
- Ancient Pollen: Chance of ANY random status to the whole party. If used while it has the Activate buff, will give priority to petrify. The use of Yggdra Vaccine is recommended, as it negates this skill completely.
- Tangling Ray: Inflicts several binds on the whole party.
- Segment: Recovers a massive amount of health and moves into the next attack phase.
Conditional Drop Edit
The Yggdrasil Core's conditional drop has a unique condition. In order to get the True Demon Core, you must defeat the boss in its full power. That means that fighting it at the end of the story mode will not count, as the Yggdrasil Core is weakened during that fight. In order to obtain the item in the story mode, you must fight the boss again on the post-game, at the end of the Claret Hollows. This is not a problem in the classic mode, as the boss can only be fought at its full strength.
Keep in mind that using a formaldehyde during the story mode fight will NOT drop the item, even though both fights share the same codex entry.
- Although Primevil has no back-story in Etrian Odyssey, it was given one which its remake, Etrian Odyssey Untold's plot, revolved around. If you compare Yggdrasil Core's (Primevil renamed in the remake) back-story with Etrian Odyssey IV's final boss, the Heavenbringer, both histories are in a way very similar. This fact gives a possible hint that both EO1/EOU and EO4 takes place in the same universe, which is later confirmed in Etrian Odyssey 2 Untold, which establishes that all games take place in the same world.
- Primevil's battle theme in Untold, With Much At Stake, is a remix of a song called The Battlefield that Never Sleeps, found in the first Etrian Odyssey's soundtrack, but was never used for unknown reasons. The FM version of the song is the same as the original.

In an offseason in which the Blues signed the NHL's top free agent, the strangest turn of events came on Thursday as the Blues announced they had re-signed center Steve Ott to a two-year deal. But the signing of Ott wasn't the surprise of the day. That shock came about 20 minutes later when rumors began swirling that restricted free agent Vladimir Sobotka had signed with a team in the Kontinental Hockey League.
"I can't confirm that he is going to the KHL," Blues general manager Doug Armstrong said via conference call on Thursday.
"I believe that he has done it. All indications are that he has. We are going to proceed. If he shows up at training camp, good for us. I will have to get my dancing shoes out."
While Armstrong was talking to the media, various reports began confirming that Sobotka had signed a three-year, $12 million deal with Omsk of the KHL. The Blues had been willing to go above three-million, but wouldn't touch the $4 million spectrum.
"If the numbers being reported are even 80-percent correct, it makes sense for him from a financial standpoint to do this," said Armstrong. "But I can't control what happens in a different league.
"We can't compete, nor should we have to compete, with the KHL," said Armstrong.
Sobotka, 27, had been in negotiations with the Blues since before the end of the regular season. The restricted-free agent was looking for a new contract with St. Louis, and the Blues were willing to pay, providing him with a multitude of options.
"In June, we had offered him a multi-year deal. Three, four, or five of his choice, and north of $3 million. The last offers were a one-year deal at $2.7 million, or a two-year deal at $3 million. Both didn't get it done."
Though the Blues would like to have him back, the situation has been a tough read for some time now. The forward recently left his agent, Steve Bartlett, but it was believed that he and the Blues would be able to come to an agreement by early August after negotiations appeared to be moving along smoothly.
When the Blues learned recently that the KHL was an option that Sobotka would strongly consider, they filed for arbitration against the forward. Sobotka, who had arbitration rights, chose not to file. The arbitration date was set for July 21, in case the two sides could not reach a deal before that date. The arbitration process often burns the bridges between players and management, but in this situation, it had little to do with the player's decision.
"I don't think that had anything to do with it," Armstrong said. "The concept of playing in the KHL was there previously. It was an economic decision."
"We filed for salary arbitration hoping to expedite the process and to maintain our rights to the player," Armstrong said. "At the time, he was in discussions with a European team."
When the Blues filed for arbitration against the forward, they assured that Sobotka would not play for another NHL team next season by eliminating the risk of an offer sheet. Had the case gone to an arbiter, Sobotka would have been forced to accept the compensation decided upon by the third-party negotiator. However, the restricted free agent would have had the option to choose a one or two-year deal. Either way, he would have been an unrestricted free agent following the contract's conclusion.
Though Sobotka is unlikely to be represented at the hearing on July 21, the Blues' management still plans to attend. At that hearing, a determination will be made on a salary reward for Sobotka, and if he returns to the NHL, he will have to play out that contract with the Blues.
"We are going to be at the arbitration hearing," said Armstrong. "We are going to be represented there on the 21st. We are going to follow through on it."
The compensation issued by the arbiter is unlikely to be much more than the $1.4 million Sobotka earned last season, ,though the Czech forward is coming off of a career-high, 33-point season with the Blues.
"I have the utmost respect for him as a competitor and as a person," Armstrong said. "Our offers always indicated that we valued him. It's a financial decision that I can't really argue with him taking."
In what is a related move, the Blues did ink unrestricted free agent Steve Ott to a two-year deal worth $5.2 million.
Ott, 31, was dealt the Blues at the trade deadline last season as a part of the deal that brought goaltender Ryan Miller to St. Louis. The center had three points in 23 games with the Blues last year. He is coming off of a four-year, $11.8 million contract, which he signed in 2010.
"He provides our team with the grit and determination that we feel is necessary to compete in a very difficult Western Conference," said Armstrong."
The Blues recently circled back to Ott after learning about Sobotka's possible intentions.
"I received the information that (Sobotka) was strongly considering signing in the KHL. When I got that information, I circled back to some of the free agents I had been talking to, Steve Ott being one," Armstrong explained."
With Ott under contract, after the Blues sign remaining restricted free agent Jaden Schwartz, the club will have 15 possible NHL forwards, six of them possible centers.

Study: Carob is not allergenic
Clin Exp. Allergy - 1999 Mar, 29(3):402-6
Fiocchi A., et. al. Dept. Pediatrics San Paolo Biomedical Institute, Milan Italy.
Study was conducted to see if carob (a member of the legume family which shares proteins with peanut) was allergenic in peanut allergic children. 12 children in the study. All 12 kids positive to peanut on skin test and RAST. They tested carob in different forms on the kids. On skin test, 3 were positive for carob pulp, and 6 for raw carob bean. On RAST, 9 of 12 negative for carob. They found the least allergenic form of carob was cooked. CONCLUSION: Cooked carob can be ingested by kids with peanut allergy, as the heat processing deactivates the allergenic potential of the carob protein.
HMMMMMM.... makes you wonder - what if peanuts were cooked?
Roasted, say? I haven't notice raw peanuts being marketed...
Liz -
I'm assuming that when you buy peanuts in bags still in the shells, that's how they come off the plant - "raw"- or are those already roasted in the shell? Do they roast them before they turn them into peanut butter? Just curious!

Middle English: from Middle Dutch or Low German tromme, of imitative origin.
Recorded from the late Middle Ages, drum is probably from Dutch or German tromme, which imitates the sound of a drumbeat. The English word may be an alteration of drumslade, from German trommelslag 'drumbeat'. In Australia and New Zealand drum is a term for 'a piece of reliable inside information'. The meaning dates from the early 20th century, and perhaps derives from the use of the musical instrument to give signals. The idea behind drumming up support is that of a person going around beating a drum to attract attention. We talk of someone being drummed out of a place or institution with reference to the military drumbeat that accompanied the ceremony of dismissing a soldier from a regiment.
