A little birdie tells me that the Penguins' Winter Classic jersey will look like this: "Take the 1967 jersey (the diagonal Pittsburgh), flip the navy and powder blues, and put the circle logo with the 'scarfed' fatbody penguin on the front instead of the diagonal lettering. The numbers on the jersey will be rounded, as on the 1967 jerseys. It sounds like a hot mess, but in my opinion they're very sharp."

Thanks to all you Blue Mile heroes!
10 September 2012
Thank you to everyone who joined us at the weekend for the flagship Ecover Blue Mile in Plymouth - including no fewer than four Olympic gold medallists - all helping raise funds for our work to protect the world's water.
The sun shone and a lively samba band played as more than 250 people took to the water to swim, kayak or stand-up paddle for a mile at the Ecover Blue Mile* flagship event over the weekend of 8-9 September.
Hundreds more supported from the sidelines on Plymouth seafront and enjoyed the food and entertainment on offer in the Event Village throughout the day.
Andrew Triggs-Hodge MBE, double gold medallist rower, was joined by Tim Baillie and Etienne Stott, canoing gold medallists for Team GB, and by 15-year-old gold medal-winning Lithuanian swimmer Ruta Meilutyte, who goes to school locally in Plymouth.
The Olympic stars hoped their presence would help raise public awareness about the need to protect the world's precious water resources.
Tim and Etienne, who normally compete as a team, took part in an exhilarating one-mile kayak race, up against rowing champion Andy and members of the public, who enjoyed their moment on the water alongside these great athletes.
Andy, who finished close behind Tim and Etienne in third place, said afterwards: "It was an excellent race - and a lot of fun kayaking with Olympian opposition and tackling monster waves along the way.
"I've never kayaked before but really enjoyed it - and WWF's Panda cheering me on definitely motivated me to gain a few seconds! I'd encourage more people to take part in the Ecover Blue Mile and raise vital funds for WWF's work with water."
Tim and Etienne also took part in the stand-up paddling races earlier in the day, with Tim pipping Etienne to the post in an exciting race. Tim said: "The stand-up paddling was pretty tough over such a long distance. I suffered from 'disco leg' [a new one on us at WWF!] by crouching on the board for the whole mile - but I managed to finish first in an exciting race.
Etienne said: "I really enjoyed the stand-up paddling and I was pleasantly surprised to be so good at it. I managed to stay upright for most of it…
"The kayaking race was a lot of fun too – but Etienne beat me to the finish in the last few metres! It was lovely to experience the beautiful sea too."
How you can help...
It's not too late to join in and fundraise for this year's Ecover Blue Mile, so why not complete your own Blue Mile? It's easy to take part – we're just asking people across the UK to complete a mile on, or near, water anytime this summer. You can walk, run, swim, kayak or row your mile! Last summer more than 2,000 people took part.
All the funds raised go to WWF's vital work safeguarding marine and freshwater habitats in the UK and around the world.
For more information check out the Ecover Blue Mile website.
*Ecover is the official sponsor of the Ecover Blue Mile. Ecover has worked with WWF since 2007 to help raise awareness of the natural environment.

As he's struggled with his recovery, Nick Stahl has disappeared a handful of times for one to four days, but he's always eventually checked in with his wife Rose – and he's always come back, she says.
Then, on May 9, Stahl – who has been living apart from Rose with a roommate – went missing when the roommate took a break from their morning meditation session.
Nobody has seen the 32-year-old Terminator 3 star since.
"He could have overdosed, that's one thought. And I'm wondering if there will be a body recovered," Rose tells PEOPLE.
Rose, 30, reported him missing May 14. Police are not treating the case as a criminal matter and say no foul play is suspected.
His disappearance comes as the pair, who married in 2009, have been coping with a number of domestic problems.
They filed paperwork in early February allowing Rose to keep Nick from seeing their 2-year-old daughter if he fails a drug test, and he had been living away with a male friend since that time.
Still, Rose says she does not consider the two of them separated or estranged.
"That was an adult, loving decision that we made to try to inspire his recovery and maybe even scare him away from relapse," she says.
She adds that Stahl, who at age 13 played opposite Mel Gibson in The Man Without A Face, has struggled with addiction since his teen years, and the problem has become worse than ever for reasons she doesn't fully understand.
Stahl, who has spoken openly about his problems with drugs and alcohol, has been turning down parts for the past nine months to focus on his recovery, says Rose. But she adds that his recent disappearance has been difficult on the family, including their daughter.
"She asks for dad. 'Is Dada coming?' And she worships the ground he walks on," says Rose. "But I've had a lot of people coming over, and I've been careful that she not be exposed to too much of my anxiety."

Guest Voice of John Ferretti, D.O.: How osteopathic medicine improves your health
The Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine, Millcreek Community Hospital, and other members of Millcreek Health System come together during the week of April 15 to recognize the commitment and professionalism of American osteopathic physicians.
National Osteopathic Medicine Week is an event that is celebrated each year by the American Osteopathic Association and by all who recognize the comprehensive value and healthful lifestyle benefits associated with the osteopathic philosophy.
The event draws together those within the osteopathic medical profession with a view toward a common goal -- that of increasing awareness throughout the nation about osteopathic medicine and about the great proficiencies, benefits and comprehensive importance of doctors of osteopathic medicine (DOs). The event is held each year to coincide with the founding date of the AOA, which was April 19, 1897.
At LECOM, the physicians of today are training the doctors of tomorrow by nurturing within our students a full understanding and the pivotal importance of preventive health care and of the principles of osteopathic whole-person medicine. Primary-care physicians and health-care professionals focus on an all-inclusive approach to wellness and to the maintenance of health. The tenets of osteopathic medical education place an emphasis upon the musculoskeletal system and upon the interrelationship between this system with other body systems as essential components of basic health maintenance and of the prevention of disease.
Founded by Andrew Taylor Still, M.D. (1828-1917), osteopathic medicine utilizes four fundamental principles that enable the osteopathic physician to view health and disease in a unique manner. First, the body is a unit and the person is a unity of body, mind, and spirit; second, the body is capable of self-regulation, self-healing and health maintenance; third, structure and function are reciprocally interrelated; and finally, rational treatment is based upon the former three principles.
The celebration of National Osteopathic Medicine Week elevates this understanding and it seeks to disseminate the information of this most profound and comprehensive medical field to a wider population that remains intransigently adherent to, and seemingly comfortable with, a philosophy of merely treating symptoms.
This week recognizes the contributions of osteopathic physicians and it honors their dedication to improving the health of their communities through education and awareness-based efforts, as well as by delivering quality health services.
Osteopathic training offers superlative solutions to address the medical needs of a health-care environment in flux by producing more primary-care physicians and more physicians practicing in rural and underserved communities than those produced elsewhere. The focus upon preventive medicine holds at its heart the best interests of the patient and the best outcomes for the patient, as maintaining health obviates the need for treatment.
Practicing in specialty areas, including family practice, internal medicine, pediatrics and obstetrics, countless thousands of DOs and osteopathic medical students traverse the United States. At LECOM -- the largest medical college in the nation and the only osteopathic academic health center in the country -- the future of osteopathic medicine is a bright and promising one.
National Osteopathic Medicine Week is always a highlight of a unified mission committed to the osteopathic philosophy of providing the best in patient care.
As we continue to move forward in this ever-changing heath-care delivery system, we will continue to educate the public as to the benefits of whole-person care and to shape for the better, the future of medicine.
JOHN FERRETTI, D.O., is chief executive of Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine.

Amarillo College is seeking to increase tuition for the third time in five years to offset a cut in state funding and costs associated with teaching a rising number of students.
Students attending AC next fall could face about a $50 increase for a full load of classes.
The AC board of regents today will consider proposed increases to tuition and fees that total $4 per credit hour - many classes are three hours - for students who are from the college's taxing district and more for those from outside the district. For a student taking 12 hours, the increase adds up to $48.
Community college students are the most sensitive to rising costs, but college leaders are trying to balance that with providing a quality education, Amarillo College President Paul Matney said.
"Our challenge is that we're serving 1,000 more students than we were seeing last year," Matney said. "Our tuition and fees are so reasonable, it doesn't really cover the cost of instruction."
Enrollment at the school has steadily risen over the past few years, standing now at about 11,000 students.
The college aims to expand its programs in wind energy and nursing, he said. The state also has asked the college to anticipate a reduction of about $850,000 in state funding each year for the next two years.
The proposed increase in tuition and fees is projected to raise about $1.2 million, which will go toward the additional expenses of a larger student body, including additional pay for faculty teaching more course hours and the increased use of adjunct instructors, Matney said. It also will allow the college to consider raises, he said.
Despite anticipating higher tuition, Matney said Amarillo College will remain in the middle of what the state's 50 community colleges charge in tuition and fees.
Tuition hasn't been a burning issue for the Student Government Association, said Tyler Adams, the association's president. Adams said the increases will go toward the increased costs the college has incurred with the influx of students.
"I don't think it's a bad idea at all," said Adams, a 22-year-old from Amarillo who is working on a second associate's degree in the field of graphic design. "For an associate's degree here and the education we get, I don't think you can beat it."
Amarillo College enrollment trends show about 32 percent of students take 12 hours or more of classes, while 68 percent take fewer than 12 hours. Students from within Amarillo College's taxing district pay less than those who live outside of the district and those from out of state.
On top of the $4 increase, the proposal includes an additional $5 increase per credit hour for students from outside of the AC district and an additional $9 increase per credit hour for out-of-state students.
This year, a student from Amarillo taking 12 hours is paying $705 per semester, while students outside the district pay $909 and students from out-of-state $1,341.
If regents approve the proposed increases, a student from Amarillo taking 12 hours will pay $753, while students from outside the college district will be charged $1,017 and students from out-of-state will pay $1,497.
Regents are scheduled to meet at 6 p.m. today at AC's Polk Street Campus, 1314 Polk St.
Board Chairwoman Michele Fortunato worries about cuts to programs, services and course options for students if the proposal doesn't pass. She doesn't like to think about charging students more, but said the proposal is reasonable and necessary.
Even though two semesters of record enrollment have generated more in tuition, the additional costs generated by increased enrollment are more than the revenue generated, she said.
"The proportion that the state funds each year declines," Fortunato said. "The money has to come from somewhere."
Community colleges across the state, meanwhile, continue to see enrollments rise.
From 2005 to 2009, the state recorded a 26 percent increase in students attending public two-year colleges.
Students attending those colleges made up about 54 percent of the 1.3 million students who enrolled in Texas public and independent institutions of higher education last fall, according to a report based on preliminary fall numbers from the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board.
And from 2008 to 2009, enrollment in public two-year institutions increased by 14 percent.

Enter the accelerator--benzoylmethylecgonine-- a continuation of invigoration. Expeditious-thought with sounds of reverberation and body left debilitated. It's demonstrating an inability for any shot of stability. Psychosis! It's perspiration due to locomotion begging to be stationary. It's defined by incoherence but to it, it seems congruent.
Efforts then lead toward a desire to land; to conduct a chemical homeostasis.
Enter the tranquilizer-- diacetylmorphine-- an immediate bounty. It's soft in spirit with ties to inclination, inclination to habit. It's known as the seducer the go-getter for the unaccomplished. It's the Bobby Frost of fixation, demonstrating the ability to shoot stability. It makes absolutely no sense but the sensation is so so sensible.
Egh… I've over-shot, or did I under-shoot. I didn't mean it. Gosh, I'm not ready to go. When did I become it as it needs to be me and I don't want to leave, but I'm going to go
Not just yet. It ain't my turn. I need to make sense of this, let me clean this up. This crooked mind doesn't excuse my crooked actions, action is a gift and I'm the inventor of the crooked. I've been taught that I can put anything I want in front of action, so today it will be my foot, followed by the other one. My redemption begins here; it resembles fight, resistance to devastation. It's my physiological condition's Emancipation Proclamation. I've put my life on the line for the last time, so now I'm putting my life on the line.
Abaddon! I won't turn a blind eye. I've about-faced . I'm face to face. And I'll tear you limb from limb if you cross the line. I'm committed to this quest, the Don Quioxte of recovery making a redeemer quixotic. I made my stand, and I swear to G-d, stepping on your throat will be effortless. Why would I pick you up? Where were you when I fell?

But he knows he would've had added incentive had the Montreal Canadiens been in position to knock the rival Boston Bruins out of the playoff picture back when he was a player.
"As a player definitely when you have a rivalry (you have more fire). We did in the past but we didn't this year. Not like in past years against the Rangers. The rivalry this year was not the same because of the fact they were always in the playoffs and we struggled. So you don't look at being ahead of them.
"I don't have the feeling of the guyss right now. I don't know what they think. But I know in the old days if it was Boston I would try to do my best to put them out."
Lemaire doesn't think the rivalry can be recaptured today.
"I don't think in one game because you don 't play them anymore," he explained. "Let's say you would beat them and go on and play another game, then you'd get it back."
The clash at the Garden will give the Devils a good chance to evaluate some payers in a high-intensity game.
"To see how they will come out today and tomorrow," Lemaire said. "The last two games in the afternoon and you want to see who is going to stick with it until the end."
Dainius Zubrus (neck, right shoulder), Anton Volchenkov (lower body), Colin White (lower body) and Zach Parise (knee) will all sit out the last two games.
The Devils did not call up any players from Albany (AHL) for today's game.
"Not yet. Maybe tomorrow," Lemaire said.
* * *
Lemaire said Mattias Tedenby has played his best two-way hockey since being moved to a line with veterans Brian Rolston and Patrik Elias.
"He has the ability to do what he is doing right now," the coach said of Tedenby. "I don't know if he could've achieved it with (Jacob) Josefson, who a young guy and a young center, and with a checker on the other side. Now that he has the opportunity to play with Rolston and Patrik it gives him a better chance to do what he can do and really improve his game. Do certain things on the ice.
"He's confident with them. He brings them life. He's even better in his own end. It's strange but he is playing better in his own end than he ever did. And I didn't talk to him about it."
Asked if Tedenby is the best one-handed stick handler in the NHL, Lemaire said: "I don't know about in the entire league, but it looks like it on our team. He's doing some good stuff. It's exciting."
* * *
Chris Drury returns to the Rangers' lineup with Sean Avery coming out.
Lemaire said having Drury in the Rangers' lineup won't mean that much to the Devils.
"Probably to them," he said. "To us it won't change things. They're playing an offensive game, trying to pressure teams. It doesn't matter who's in. The system won't change."

Fleece Hat Snowman Jars

These adorable snowman jars are perfect for helping save the environment. You create these with old baby food jars, gloss paints and fleece. These make for great Christmas gifts.
- Apple Barrel Gloss: pure pink
- Apple Barrel Gloss : pumpkin orange
- Apple Barrel Gloss: black
- Apple Barrel Gloss: white
- Fleece
- Baby Food Jar
- Kid paint brushes
- Matching yarn or thread
- Glue gun
- Sponge
First you need to have a clean jar free of label and glue. I love to use the gloss paints because they can be painted right onto the jar with a sponge. Apply a coat of white all over the jar. You only need to paint up to the tread on the jar lid. Allow jar to dry and apply second coat if needed.
Second, use your paint brushes to pain the features. I like to paint the cheeks first with pure pink. (If this pink is too dark for you, add white to it to make it softer.) Then the carrot nose with pumpkin orange. This helps to see where you want to put the eyes and the mouth using the black paint.
While the paint is drying...this is the perfect time to pick out the fleece for your snowman's hat. We use approximately a 5" x 9" piece of fleece. I fold up a brim, about 3/4 of an inch, and start to hot glue this around the jar lid. When you have it completely glued around the rim of the lid, glue the ends together to hold in place. There is no need to glue all the way up the seam...this will close when you take your matching yarn or thread and gather the fleece loosely to form a fun shaped hat. You will tie it about an inch or two above the jar to make it look rounded.
Next cut into the top of the fleece to make fringe...make sure not to cut down into your thread. You can now trim the fringe if it is too long.
Once, the paint is dry, go ahead and put your cap on your snowman. Don't forget to put a little surprise inside. (Chocolates and candies are a favorite!)
- My kids made these for their school teachers last year for Christmas. They were a hit!

This is a very similar idea to a project I made a few years ago using glass beverage bottles (usually square-ish ones like Starbucks, or Ben & Jerry's drinks). In my version I used a mini light (like ones you can put in miniature house displays and plug in) inserted into the bottle and glued in place. But I like this version, it looks like a great gift idea for kids to do for teachers or gift swaps in school!

Below is a sample birth plan based on the preferences of a typical hypno-birthing couple. Yours may vary, but consider the length and format as a guide. 2 pages is the longest it should be, and using bullet points or small paragraphs will help ensure it gets read. Your doctor or midwife will most likely want to talk to you about your labor and birth at the 36 week visit, but you can talk to them at any time now about your Birth Plan if you wish.
I advise my students to talk to their doctors/midwives every time they see them about their birth preferences, so that the seeds can be planted that you have special needs, and feedback can be given by the care provider. You will then be able to get an idea of how they feel about what you want.
Presenting it as a list of "preferences" instead of demands is crucial, and always with respect. Asking the doctor or midwife, "What do you think about ______" is always a good way to begin a discussion about any particular thing that is important to you. If you can, get your caregiver to sign it and then make 4 copies. One goes to the doctor for his files, and you can request that one be sent to the hospital you'll give birth at with your chart. If this is done, the hospital will be much more likely to pair you up with a nurse who is natural/hypno-childbirth friendly when you arrive on your birthing day. The other two copies go to the hospital with you when you're in labor, one to be presented to your L&D nurse or midwife, in case they don't have it yet, and one to keep in your birth bag.
Sample Birth Plan
Mary and John Smith Birth Preferences
Anywhere Memorial Hospital
Dear Doctor Jones and Hospital Staff,
We have chosen you to attend the very special event of our child's birth. We trust in your expertise and in your sensitivity to our individual needs and wishes. Thank you in advance for your support and encouragement during our birth. The following is our "ideal" birthing. We ask that you consider each of our choices and accommodate them when possible.
IN THE EVENT OF AN EMERGENCY: In the event that the situation becomes life-threatening for either Mary or our baby, we will, of course, yield to any request for life saving intervention, upon the briefest of consultation. In the strong likelihood that we have the normal birth that we're expecting, we ask that you refrain from any routine interventions or measures that we have not previously agreed upon.
We would like to complete all forms prior to labor; and to stay at home as long as possible. If upon arrival to the hospital Mary is deemed to be in early labor (under 4 cm, with no complicating factors), we will decline admission until a later time when Mary feels to be more progressed.
Upon Admission
• Hydration: We ask that Mary hydrate herself with water and juice as desired, and will be happy to accept a Heparin Lock. IV to be implemented only in the event of complicating factors.
• Movement: We ask that Mary be allowed to move about freely, and to assume any position that she finds comfortable.
• Monitoring: It is our desire to decline continuous EFM, but prefer intermittent monitoring when necessary. Internal monitoring , upon our consultation, to be used only in a life-threatening situation.
• Room Environment: We will be performing various techniques of self- hypnosis and for this reason we ask to be allowed to bring soft music, use dimmed lighting, and ask for the staff to kindly use a low voice - avoiding references to "pain", "hurting" or "hard work". These words are disruptive to our hypnosis process, and we thank you for respecting our unique needs.
• Photography: We would like to have the opportunity to record our baby's birth with still photographs and video camera.
• Birth Support: We, Mary and John, will be supported by our professional labor assistant, _____________. She is a certified Birthing Assistant and has attended many hospital and out of hospital births, including cesarean sections. We will require her continuous presence during our labor and birth. We authorize her to be present during any examinations or procedures.
• Management of Labor: It is our strong desire to allow our birthing to proceed upon its natural course, in the absence of complications, without restriction to time. If an increase of oxytocin becomes necessary, we would like to use natural methods before our consent will be given for the use of Pitocin or AROM.
• "Pushing": Because we are using hypnosis for childbirth pushing techniques, Mary will be using positions she finds effective, and this will be completely mother-directed. We ask that the staff respect our request and not direct us how to push, unless an emergency arises.
• Perineal Massage: We ask that the staff assist us with warm compresses and olive oil massage of the perineum. We have been preparing for a birth with no episiotomy and appreciate your patience and support as our baby crowns.
• Birth of our Baby: Please allow our baby to be born without pulling on his/her head or turning it unless there is shoulder dystocia. We also ask that the cord be allowed to stop pulsating before clamping or cutting, and John will cut it at that time. Mary will hold our child in her arms immediately upon birth, and she and I will dry and wrap our baby at this time to help maintain warmth. Mary will hold him/her against her skin and will ask for blankets to be placed over them both. We ask that you treat our baby with gentleness at all times, and that any newborn procedures be delayed until we have had some time to get to know one another - up to two hours. (bathing, eye drops, foot prints etc.)
• Birth of Placenta: We ask that Mary's placenta be allowed to deliver without the use of traction. We understand that this may take a few extra minutes and we certainly appreciate your patience with us.
• Circumcision: If our baby is a boy, we will decline the surgical removal of his foreskin.
• Breastfeeding: We will be exclusively breastfeeding our baby and request that no bottles of any kind, pacifiers or artificial nipples be given to our baby, and he/she will be rooming in with Mary. Thank you for all of the care we've received during our pre-natal visits and in advance for the respect and assurance we know we'll receive from you during our birthing.

The ink is barely dry on the new restrictions on providing tax breaks for retail developments, and local industrial development agencies still are looking for ways to keep doling out foolish tax breaks.
The Niagara County IDA came the closest, falling just one vote shy last week of approving between $112,000 and $143,000 in tax breaks to a Ransomville Chevrolet dealership that needs to upgrade its facility to meet the latest standards set by General Motors or risk losing its franchise.
While the IDA's board was tilted, 4-2, in favor of granting the tax breaks, the incentives ended up being denied only because three of the nine board members missed the meeting and the project fell one vote short of the five "yes" votes that it needed to gain approval.
Even more alarming was the argument that IDA attorney Mark J. Gabriele used to justify the car dealer's pitch for tax breaks, contending that the project qualified for incentives because it was the only car dealer in Ransomville, and thereby provided goods and services that otherwise would not be readily available.
Providing goods or services that aren't otherwise available is, indeed, one of three exceptions written into the new law barring retail tax breaks, along with exemptions for projects that are part of a "tourism destination" development or in a highly distressed area.
But IDA board member Stephen F. Brady notes that many communities don't have car dealerships. That doesn't stop residents of those communities from driving cars, though.
"It rang a little hollow with me," he said. "My view was that it was not some type of critical service."
Still, Brady was just one of two IDA board members who mustered the courage to vote against the handouts, which clearly would have been contrary to the spirit of the new law.
The new law, which took effect late last month, effectively restored the ban on tax breaks for retail projects that was in place before the prohibition expired in 2008. But that isn't stopping IDAs, like the one in Niagara County, from probing at the edges of the new rules, looking for loopholes in the law's gray areas.
Because of the different interpretations, James J. Allen, the executive director of the Amherst Industrial Development Agency, thinks the whole issue could end up in court.
"It's a fluid, evolving situation," said Fredrick A. Vilonen, the Amherst IDA's chairman.
IDAs, desperate for fee money after the recession caused office and manufacturing projects to dry up, jumped on the opening created by the 2008 change in state law and turned to retail projects as a way to keep their revenues flowing during the downturn.
That led to tax breaks for pizzerias, restaurants, children's play centers and other projects scattered throughout Erie County that did little to generate new wealth in the community, favored one business over another, and simply divided the region's consumer spending in a different way. Critics rightly argued that the tax breaks were squandering municipal and state resources without creating any meaningful economic development.
The controversy prompted the Cuomo administration to step into the fray. In their view, the change should bar the most controversial tax breaks for retailers – from doughnut shops to liquor stores and car dealers. Erie County Executive Mark Poloncarz, who under the law would be required to sign off on retail tax breaks that were approved by the Erie County IDA using any of the three exemptions, also is taking a strict view of the new law.
But the Niagara County IDA last week showed that it's looking for ways around the intent of the new law. And officials from the Amherst IDA have discussed what the law means for the ability of the agency to provide tax breaks for projects that might include a retail tenant but also would help redevelop a vacant or under-used building targeted for redevelopment.
"We were able to do redevelopment projects prior to 2008 by just doing the project and not the tenant," Allen said. "There is some debate as to whether you can do that."
The law, according to Robert G. Murray, the lawyer for the Erie County IDA, says a project is considered retail if more than a third of it is devoted to serving customers who visit the site. If less than a third of the project's costs are going for the retail portion of a particular project, then it's eligible for tax breaks. Often, that's determined by calculating if more than a third of the project's total square footage will be used to serve retail customers.
But what if an IDA is approached about providing tax breaks for a project that has no tenants lined up? Murray's interpretation is that IDAs could grant incentives to those projects, but would have to rescind them if tenants that eventually occupy the building are considered to be retail.
Allen said he hopes the six IDAs in Erie County can come up with a policy that still will allow some wiggle room within the law for redevelopment projects that involve retail tenants.
Allen would like to see an interpretation that allows IDAs to grant incentives for improvements to the shell of a building that might house a retail tenant – which would permit tax breaks for projects to renovate buildings along suburban business districts that might have shops on the ground floor and offices or apartments above.
"If we can't assist with buildings that are vacant or underperforming, we're going to have a lot more problems. We're going to have a lot more vacancies," he said. "I'm hopeful some exceptions can be made when there is chronic vacancy."

^Haha I just realized how that's kind of silly re: 21 vs 30 days, but I guess 3 weeks seems somewhat more manageable than 4 to my little brain. Even 2 weeks is too long of a goal for me, I can only work in very small increments. I'm sure I've gone 7 days straight at 100% compliance to Primal diet philosophy, but the more I push myself to stay on track, the more I seem to cheat.

The 21 day plan, does it give a good enough base to get started while I read the much longer Primal Blueprint book?
I think so. It's pretty informative, and I'm seeing stuff I don't recall being in the other book.
It's sad to see the ranking is starting to drop now after the initial rush. It's only one spot above Forks over Knives now in diet books and #33 overall.

An interesting article here, and the picture!
Anyway there's too much emphasis on price which more incentives could negate anyway. The point is for everyone to be driving hybrid/EV, powered by renewable energy, to clean the atmosphere the hell up. Also other alternatives: urban reorganization, advanced public transport, etc...

Agree, however, most people make decisions based upon economics and alternatives to fossil fuel burning vehicles have an extremely large gap to bridge before they become attractive to the average Joe.
Even if the cost to the consumer were comparable today, mass adoption of all-electric vehicles would be absolutely devastating to large metropolitan areas as the 'refueling' infrastructure simply does not exist. The populous Northeast and Southwest US are subject to rolling blackouts during heatwaves to alleviate strain on the aging and overloaded grid. Adding a large number electricity sucking e-vehicles to the mix would be catastrophic.
As one can easily see, there are many many decades of work to do before electric vehicles become anything more of a niche or curiosity.
I don't buy it. The infrastructure is power transmission and it already exists. Most people will charge overnight, so it may have little effect. It can be all be done pretty quickly if we wanted to, seeing as 50 million (or whatever) people in the petroleum industry are going to be out of a job. They could install & maintain 80,000 offshore wind turbines in 6 months if we wanted to. (Made up those numbers). But we *don't* want to. My point was that Tesla shows that it's all pretty much here, now. We just don't want to actually do it in N. America. Other countries are, & they're much smarter for it.
According to the federal energy information administration
only 13% of the energy produced in the US in 2011 was by renewable sources. In contrast, 42% was produced by coal, so your "clean" electric vehicle will in actuality be powered largely by coal. Before the energy can get from the coal generating facility to your wheels, it has to go through several stages of transmission and conversion, each one having significant losses. I don't know the actual numbers, but that coal generating facility might have to produce 2 or 3 kilowatt hours for every kilowatt hour you actually use.
If you watch the commercials for plug in hybrids, you get the impression that they don't cost anything to fuel up, as long as you don't have to buy gas, but of course that's not true. I did some investigating to find out what it would do to my electric bill. I found that at the rates I was paying (summer rates) it would triple my bill, going from about $50.00/month to about $150.00 a month. That would be roughly the same monthly cost as a 40 mpg ICE car.
IMHO as the availability of petroleum goes down, and the price of gas goes up, and the availability of renewable energy sources goes up, and the electric vehicle technology improves, there will come a time when electric vehicles make sense. That time has not come.

Personally, I would much prefer to have an electric powered vehicle vs. gasoline powered. However, I've done the math and for me personally it would be colossally foolish, at least for the foreseeable future.
Incidentally, here's one of the vehicles that I researched and also had a very engaging conversation with their technical leadership: http://www.codaautomotive.com/. IMO, the fact that they're targeting the real-world individual rather than catering to the upscale wealthy with disturbing amounts of disposable income is very admirable.

The bottom line is that there will never be a perfect time for a large scale new technology rollout. The power infrastructure will never be upgraded with the anticipation of EVs. The system will only be upgraded after there are enough EVs to cause a serious strain to the infrastructure. It's simple economics, the utilities are not going to want to have to pay for something until it's absolutely necessary.
Being a pioneer and living on the bleeding edge is not for everyone. This country did not get where it is today by everyone waiting until the cost benefit analysis was 100% in their favor in order to make a technology jump. Just look at all the folks who upgrade their iPhone every time a new model comes out. It's certainly not cost effective, but people do it and I don't understand it. On the bright side it puts a used iPhone in someone's hand who might not be able to afford one otherwise.

When thinking of government funding, we should always look at the big picture. Not just pick individual failures and point how much taxpayers money has been wasted. Also here in Finland the media likes to dig the failures, they make good headlines. Nobody talks about the success stories, how taxpayers money was well spent. Not to mention overall statistics over all companies that received government funding.
Speaking of EVs, The new Prius PHEV looks good to me at least. It has bigger battery pack and the ability to charge the pack at home using normal wall socket in 1,5 hours. The pack gives 25km (~16mi) range, that would take me to work and back, and also cover most of the random needs for everyday driving. Unfortunately it works only at city speeds, but still when you exit the highway you could switch to electricity. Of course there are still the usual questions, what is the range with A/C on, what is the range in winter, but looks good on paper. The only bad thing is that I live in a country where a car sales tax is out of this world, and Prius PHV would cost nearly 40000€ (~51000 USD)...
One advantage of Electric cars is that they make sense considering the smart grid. Basically, when charging at home, one could allow the electric energy companies to remotely control the charge rates of the cars, and get a discount in exchange. If a load spike occurs, the charge rate is temporarily reduced, and if there is more electricity than is needed, the charge rate is increased. This levels the load on the grid, and makes power stations much more efficient. Compensating the fluctuating loads we have today is a small nightmare for the electric suppliers. Instead of adjusting power stations to the load, which is a complex process with all kinds of disadvantages like inefficiency and a reduced lifespan of the hardware (turbines, reactors, etc) involved, the smart grid has practically no disadvantages.
This way, one of the main problems of renewable energies like wind or solar power, which is a high fluctuation of the energy prodiction, can be bypassed.
In case of a black out, one could even reverse the charge process and let the cars power the grid for a short time (vehicle to grid, v2g)

Thats a very big problem. If thats true the potential customer base is very restrictive. I really dont see how its a smart business decision to make a product that excludes most of the world.
I have never seen any difference in milage with AC on or off. AC does not require that many HP to run. What eats fuel is setting at a stop on the interstate because other fools can not drive side by side without wrecking.
RE: AC; it's not the windows open versus AC mpg argument.
Energy is consumed when using the AC; where's come from and how does that affect range (EV) mpg (Hyb).
Guessing the Prius AC compressor is powered by E so it the same unit as an EV; and arguably it's could off and go a few miles w/AC on only using battery.
Does it use electric heater(s) too?
EV @ 150mph: http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage...at-150mph.html -- a Million+ bucks!
I see a difference in my very low HP Insight with AC on VS off. That 88hp gas and 13hp electric have work to do to run the AC. I also syspect on a 300+ HP muscle car the mileage difference might be very small.
But there is no question it makes a MPG difference. The computer in my Insight helps to minimize the MPG difference. On really hot days here in TX (many of those) and I turn the economy setting off and AC runs full (as does the gas engine) it drops my mileage between 1-3mpg. It is easily noticeable with the Insight - less so on more powerful cars.
I don't run with the windows down much - can't offer an opinion - but they guys on Car Talk have discussed windows VS AC.

when i get meat from local farms it comes wrapped in brown wax paper. seems to work far better than the styrofoam/plastic stuff at the supermarkets. it's wrapped pretty tight - but there's no way it's airtight.
Something that hasn't really occured to me until the "Opinions on zioh" thread which linked to the Dirty Carnivore forum (convoluted much??).
Had a good root around their forum - it'd be rude not to! - and found http://forum.dirtycarnivore.com/inde...pic,737.0.html
There was another thread regarding treatment of raw meat.
Now, I haven't (yet?) tried going raw. But what seems to be up for debate is how to store meat in the fridge and freezer. CW says keep it airtight, yet I know when I open those sealed packets that the meat is somehow "sweaty". Like the difference between cheese wrapped in greaseproof paper, and cheese vacuum packed in plastic. And apparently the airtight seal is more likely to allow bad bacteria to multiply.
So yesterday I got a lump of lamb out of the freezer, and this time took it out of the plastic to defrost. I'm going to cook it tomorrow, so that's 48 hours "fridge air" time I'm just curious to see if it will make any difference? It smells nice now, by the way.
But then the thread I've linked to is concerned about fat oxidation in open air...
Is it a case of varying your poisons? Of drying for a matter of days? Of just opening packets as soon as you get home from the shop?
Incidentally, I recall an old housewives manual instructing the reader to wrap and store meat in parchment / greaseproof paper - but of course this was pre-plastic packaging.
when i get meat from local farms it comes wrapped in brown wax paper. seems to work far better than the styrofoam/plastic stuff at the supermarkets. it's wrapped pretty tight - but there's no way it's airtight.
This reply may not be what you were looking for but this is what your post made me think of:
Alton Brown did an episode about dry aging beef in the refrigerator - it involved 4 days of meat wrapped in paper towel. I tried it and the beef was fine. Considering the various legalities of such advice, I'm confident that this technique is relatively safe.
As far as the fat oxidation is concerned - when considering the various ancient traditional methods for creating jerky, that is, simply hanging it outside somewhere - how truly dangerous can it be? It's heated, it's smoked, it's dried, it's kept in the snow - the Tartars used to keep slices of raw meat under their saddles (I think I heard Mr. Brown said that as well).
Obviously you'll decide for yourself how to deal with this issue and researching such things could turn out to be quite important. However, I perused the link in your post and I'm inclined to think that there is something wrong about the breaking down of the various aspects of a food item into it's individual components and making nutritional claims. If you haven't already, consider reading the book 'In Defense of Food' by Micheal Pollan ( http://michaelpollan.com/books/in-defense-of-food/ ). I suspect that singling out an aspect of animal protein and lipid breakdown without taking into account other aspects of what is being ingested may not yield wholly valid answers. Did the researchers breakdown the fat with stomach acid and the accompanying proteins? Or did they take some fat, convene an oxidizing scenario, test various aspects and then start making health claims? Did they use a sample of fatty meat that amounts to enough meet to feed a family (or a village) in less developed nations? (I'm thinking about those giant steaks at RubyOutbeesIF) Did they use fat collected from an animal forced to eat food (e.g. (delicious) corn-fed vs. grass fed beef fat) it's species didn't evolve eating?
Then again, perhaps we are poisoning ourselves with oxidized fat. I suspect this didn't help you at all, but it helped me get hungry.
Good points well made.
My lamb went into meatza today, so it had.... 2-3 days uncovered in the fridge. Smelled fine, actually smelled more appetising slightly dried out that it did when "sweaty" from the packaging.
Also had some pork skin salted and "drying" overnight in an attempt to perfect crackling; again, smelled fine when it found it's way to the oven
I suspect that *everything* can be found to be poisonous - oxygen after all creates all these terrible free radicals and oxidation problems Maybe it's best to vary your diet and thus your poisons. We've survived the last few hundred thousand years, afer all
~ Please share the cracklin recipe!
The experiment didn't work
But the basic method is to lay the raw skin, fat side down, onto a grillpan (the excess fat dains away), then rub salt into the top.
Unfortunately I'm still playing with the best temperaures etc to get the whole lot to puff up and go crispy; nothing worse than leathery crackling!
Just found this - time to get out the hairdryer! http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandsty...fect-crackling
Well, read the last comment:
15 Apr 2010, 4:26PM
I have a friend from Cornwall who - and this is no word of a lie - uses pig semen to baste the joint prior to roasting. Apparently it produces the finest crackling known to man. I hasten to add I can't confirm or deny this, having yet to sample this gastronomic delight.
Pig spunk on your dinner. The world is a diverse and bewildering place.
Regarding the hair dryer method - I just bought a dehydrator that goes up to 160 deg F. If I can manage to work some magic with it, I'll be sure to post something about it here.
Regarding the additional re-post from 'onemorename' - I've just typed and erased my comment. Please feel free to think of something inappropriate and enjoy a good laugh.

My name is Danyel. I am a former middle school math teacher, and now a stay-at-home mom to three beautiful children. I am a proud military wife. I am a yarn addict. I'm originally from the suburbs of Chicago, and now I create patterns & crochet hats here in my home near Seattle.
I began crocheting in 2007 after a 15-year hiatus. My grandmother tried to teach me when I was little, but it wasn't until my mother-in-law sent me a how-to book and a crochet hook that I finally taught myself. At first, crocheting was something I did to keep my hands busy to keep from going crazy while I was pregnant. Now it's my passion. I truly love every stitch. The colors, the fibers, the textures, and even the SMELL of yarn are delightful! I taught myself to knit about 2 years ago, and am slowly adding more knitting patterns to my collection.
The Kaleidoscope Scarf is a quick and easy project with a fun, "zigzag" texture. It's simple, colorful & reversible. You can crochet the entire scarf using an I hook & just ONE ball of Knit Picks Chroma Worsted! Of course, you can use any yarn you like, but results will vary. This scarf is a fun accessory, and makes a great gift!

Mike Clayton joins USA Wrestling as its National Coaches Education Program ManagerMike Clayton, formerly from Hoboken, N.J., has joined USA Wrestling as its National Coaches Education Program Manager. Clayton began his service in his new position on March 11.
Clayton will manage USA Wrestling's National Coaches Education Program (NCEP) and will be actively involved in the education and development of wrestling coaches at all levels within the United States.
"The number one reason that I accepted this challenge is the opportunity to give back to the sport on a large scale. I loved the college environment, but you have a limited pool of people to serve. At USA Wrestling, I get to serve athletes and coaches across the nation. As a college coach, I had to compete against other coaches for athletes and resources. In this position, I can be a resource to all coaches. It makes me feel great to help so many other people," said Clayton.
Clayton comes to USA Wrestling after seven years as the head wrestling coach at Stevens Institute of Technology. He has a variety of experience as a wrestling coach, administrator and leader.
"We are excited to bring Mike on board at USA Wrestling. His experience, including graduation from the U.S. Naval Academy, service to our country and an extensive and successful coaching background in the college ranks, is a great fit. He led an impressive turnaround at Stevens Tech. We are looking forward to his impact with our coaches education program. Our volunteer coaches nationwide will benefit immensely from his addition," said Tony Black, USA Wrestling Director of State Services.
At the Stevens Institute of Technology, Clayton built a nationally-ranked program at the NCAA Div. III level. Clayton was named NCAA Div. III Rookie Coach of the Year in 2008 and was the Centennial Conference Coach of the Year in 2009.
Under his tutelage, Stevens Tech had six All-Americans, at a college which had never had a wrestling All-American before. The highest national ranking for his team was 13th. He built the team from 13 wrestlers when he took over the program to a squad with 46 athletes representing 12 different states.
During his tenure, Stevens Tech was consistently in the top 20 academically in Div. III, with a high of third place and a team GPA of 3.55. He coached eight Academic All-Americans there. Clayton was a tremendous fundraiser for the program, developing marketing programs that raised $120,000 for the program. He also developed a robust alumni network for the team. Clayton created strong ties with local and national youth programs and led his team in numerous community outreach projects.
He received the Silver Level certification from USA Wrestling's National Coaches Education Program in 2009. Clayton was the head coach of the U.S. FILA Cadet Pan American Team in both freestyle and Greco-Roman in 2011. He is a self-published author, app developer and a contributing columnist to a number of wrestling websites.
Prior to taking the Stevens Tech position, Clayton served three years as the head assistant wrestling coach for the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, a Div. I program which competes in the EIWA Conference. During his years there, Army had an NCAA runner-up in Phil Simpson, an All-American in Matt Kyler, eight NCAA qualifiers and reached a Top 25 national ranking. Clayton organized Army's first nationally ranked recruiting class. He also led marketing efforts which raised over $1.1 million in donations, grants and projects. He created the Army Wrestling Newsletter to help market the program.
From 1999-2004, Clayton was head coach at the Apprentice School in Virginia, a varsity program which competes in the National Collegiate Wrestling Association (NCWA). Under his leadership, the Apprentice School had eight national champions and 30 All-Americans. Four times, Clayton was a nominee for NCWA Coach of the Year. He helped build the program from eight wrestlers to 35 athletes during his tenure. He achieved this while holding down another position as a teacher at Northrop-Grumman's tech college.
In 1995, Clayton was an assistant wrestling coach and aide to the Assistant Athletic Director at the U.S. Naval Academy, a Div. I program in the EIWA. He helped coach two Navy wrestlers to All-American honors while he was there.
He also brings extensive professional experience serving in the U.S. Navy. Clayton was Logistics/Purchasing, Supply Officer in Williamsburg, Va. from 2000-2001. He was also HAZMAT and Ship's Store Officer for the USS NIMITZ in Newport News, Va. from 1998-2000. Clayton served as Disbursing Supply Officer for the USS GUAM in Norfolk, Va. from 1997-1998.
Clayton graduated with a B.S. in political science from the U.S. Naval Academy in 1995. He graduated from the U.S. Navy Supply Corps Officer's School in 1997. Clayton added a master's degree in business management from Stevens Institute of Technology in 2011.
He has served in a variety of volunteer and leadership positions. Clayton has been a volunteer for Beat the Streets Wrestling in New York City, and was a founding member of the Doug Zembiec Memorial Wrestling Club. He was a member of the Stevens Office of Veterans Affairs, the Stevens Athletics Hall of Fame Committee and an advisor to the Stevens Athletics Environmental Program. Clayton is certified in speed reading and lean manufacturing.
As a competitor, Clayton was an NCAA Div. I national qualifier for the U.S. Naval Academy, where he received the Weems Award, given for determination, effort and leadership. He was a 1995 EIWA finalist and a three-time EIWA placewinner for Navy. In Olympic freestyle, he was an Armed Forces silver medalist and all-Navy champion. Clayton placed at a 1996 Olympic Regional Trials, and was in the top 16 at his weight at the 1996 U.S. Freestyle Open. He was a 1992 Espoir Nationals Freestyle All-American. As an Iowa high school wrestler, he was a three-time state qualifier and an Iowa state freestyle and Greco-Roman champion.
"I would like to improve the coaching certification and education process. It has come a long way in the last decade. We have a great format, and I hope to help expand it. I plan to serve as a liaison between our national coaches and staff to the high school and volunteer coaches. My goal is to provide coaches with more information on training, conditioning, nutrition, psychology and more. Ever since high school, I have focused on these areas and studied our sport. Now to have a chance to help pass it on is an honor and a huge responsibility," said Clayton.

When tasked with constructing a list of the most disappointing players in the NHL this season, a lazier writer would simply link to the roster of the Buffalo Sabres and call it a day. Alas, that's not an option here, so the least we could do was get as many of their faces on the front this slideshow as possible.
There are many ways a player can put forth a disappointing season. Sometimes it's about expectations created by outstanding performances in recent seasons. Other times it's about the ones that come with signing a huge contract. And at yet other times, it's about the bar being set high when a player is a top draft pick.
On this list, there's a little bit of everything in terms of why these players have been disappointing for two-plus months. So take a look at the players that are compiled here from least to most disappointing and feel free to leave your approval or your own disappointment in the comments.
(All statistics are through Thursday's games via NHL.com)

On the 1st of September, 1939, the Second World War was ignited by the Nazi invasion of Poland, and two days later Great Britain and France declared war on the Third Reich. This year, which had already seen the Spanish Civil end in a victory for fascism, would now go down a new road of violence and catastrophe, in which the dialectic between fascism and the forces opposed to it would reach their highest point of conflict.
Seventy years have now passed since 1939, and it is thus a fitting moment to take stock of what that year meant for Europe, Spain and Catalonia, and to reflect on how 1939 would shape the history of the entire world over the second half of the twentieth century.
"Europe, 1939: the year of the catastrophes" is intended to be a forum open to all researchers in the human and social sciences with an interest in reflecting upon these historical events, which have left such a profound imprint on Europe's historical memory.
The conference will consist of five sessions:
SESSION 1: The road to war
SESSION 2: Intellectuals and politics
SESSION 3: The attitude of the Right towards the fascist regimes and democracies
SESSION 4: The attitude of the Left towards the fascist regimes and the war
SESSION 5: The European exiles
Proposals for papers related to the conference topics are invited for submission. Papers which are accepted will be assigned to the appropriate session by the conference's scientific committee. Deadlines for submission of proposals and final papers are as follows:
-Proposals: 15 July 2008. Proposals should include the following: full name of the submitter, field or profession, place of work, telephone number, email address, title of the paper and a brief summary of its contents (maximim 500 words). Notice of acceptance of proposals submitted will be communicated by 31 July 2008 at the latest.
-Papers: 15 January 2009. The text should be submitted in digital format as a Word file, and should not exceed 50,000 characters.
All submissions should be sent by email to email@example.com.
The registration period opens 1 September 2008 and closes 28 February 2009.

Good man.
Next up, though, we're going to start a fundraiser to help Shawn get acting lessons.
on Jul 10 2009 @ 12:46 PM
It was all method--I felt an actor playing an old man faced with a blob would be an amateur, so I worked very, very hard to suppress my inherent genius for performance. Also, in lieu of acting lessons feel free to just send cocaine to my attention, Hollywood, CA. Not for me, of course, it's just I get so bored paying for hookers with cash.
Oh, and thanks for the link!

If Holland gets outbid by other GM's - is he then likely gonna sign guys like Gilbert, or Stralman, or will he goes with what he knows, and re-signs Quincey?
My impression is that Kenny understands the situation. We need a big name, and he's willing to go balls out for one, even if that means a trade. Stralman, Gilbert, et al. = Quincey II in his book, and he doesn't really want Quincey II. He wants a real difference-maker. And even if he doesn't, I've gotta think Babcock does.

EL SEGUNDO, Calif. -- Unless they are on the verge of writing the greatest story in franchise history, the Devils will not be lifting the Stanley Cup this year.
Only one team in NHL history has ever come back from a 3-0 deficit in the finals to win the Cup and that happened 70 years ago when the Toronto Maple Leafs did it during World War II.
But no matter what happens, including the possibility of being swept by the Los Angeles Kings, it will not taint the pure joy Devils goalie Martin Brodeur has experienced this season and it will not change his mind about wanting to come back next season.
"Not at all. This is great. This is what we play for, to have a chance to be in the Stanley Cup finals. I wouldn't trade that for anything, even though we're down, 3-0," Brodeur said today as the Devils prepared for Game 4 Wednesday night at the Staples Center.
"It's not fun, don't get me wrong, but I'm enjoying the experience of being back here (in his fifth finals). We have to be really proud of ourselves to have achieved what we've achieved with what we had to go through last season and to be in a spot like this. Definitely we feel we deserve a little better, but we're playing a team that is playing really well. It won't change the attitude I have about the game of hockey, that's for sure."
Brodeur said he will cherish this season whether or not the Devils defy the odds in coming back. Teammate Zach Parise couldn't bring himself to feel the same way.
"I'm not thinking about the end right now," Parise said. "Hopefully we have a few more games in us."
Brodeur undoubtedly feels the same, but he also knows this could be his last serious run at a fourth Stanley Cup. He is 40 and there are no free passes back to the finals no matter how close a team comes.
"That's why I'm enjoying this, because I know it could be the last time," Brodeur said. "Regardless of the position we're in, it's not going to take away the fun that I have being here. This is what we play all year for and all your life for. To have a chance. I'm fortunate to have a chance late in my career like this. You're not going to win them all, though. We're still alive and we're going to try to make this a series."
Coach Pete DeBoer acknowledged that the mental aspect of climbing such a mountain will be the hardest. He described the mood of his players as "a little disheartened. That's natural. It's human nature. Today was the kind of day you have to get that out of your system. You come back ready to work.
"It's our responsibility as coaches to look at the positives, look at the good things we're doing, look at the chances we're generating, show them that success is that close. We just have to stick with it."
He is not worried about his goaltender.
"Marty Brodeur bouncing back is the least of my concerns," DeBoer said.
Brodeur is 12-8-3 with a 2.09 goals-against average and .919 save percentage. If his stats don't measure up to 1995, 2000 and 2003, remember that those were much more defensive-minded Devils teams.
In fact, Brodeur feels his level of play in these playoffs is close to what it was when he was winning his three championships.
"I think so. I feel real good. It's probably one of the playoff runs where physically and mentally I've been as sharp as I've been since maybe '95. I was so young I didn't have time to have any wear and tear back then," he said with a laugh.
This entire season has been something of a surprise for the future hall of Famer.
"A little bit. Because it was so hard last year I came in open-minded and tried to get myself to have fun again because it was probably the worst season I had last year. Personally and as an organization," he said. "So for me to hope that we accomplish what we did this year would've been a little far-fetched… Now we're here in the Stanley Cup finals. I didn't expect that, that's for sure, when I started the season."
He also didn't expect to be down, 3-0, to the Kings.
"A little bit. The first two games we lost in overtime, tight games that could've gone both ways," Brodeur said. "Now we're in a huge hole. I didn't expect that, that's for sure, but this is what we're facing.
"We need something to happen, regardless of what it is. A big hit. A nice goal, a weak goal. Something. They've been finding ways of winning. We have to find the same for us because there is no tomorrow for us."
Even if it ends Wednesday night, there will be a next season for Brodeur unless a labor stoppage wipes out the 2012-13 schedule. That is also in the back of his mind.
"I just don't want to taste retirement before I need to," he said.
Or the end of a memorable playoff run before he needs to.

What happens when there is a nuclear power plant accident?
A nuclear power plant uses uranium fuel to produce steam for generating electricity. This process changes uranium into other radioactive materials. If a nuclear power plant accident occurs, heat and pressure build up, and the steam, along with the radioactive materials, may be released.
How am I protected from a nuclear power plant accident?
What are the health effects of a nuclear power plant accident?
No immediate health effects would be expected in the general public from a nuclear power plant accident. That is because the amount of radiation present would be too small to cause immediate injury or illness. However, there is a risk of long-term health effects. Cancer may develop many years after the exposure.
How do I prepare for a nuclear power plant accident?
What should people do if a nuclear power plant accident happens?
People cannot see, smell, feel or taste radiation. Special equipment is needed to detect radiation. In the event of a nuclear power plant accident, the power company will notify state and local officials and provide information about the seriousness of the accident. Emergency workers will measure the radiation released in the environment. Sirens may be used to alert people living or working near the power plant to listen to emergency broadcast messages. Officials may recommend any of the following:
Can people take potassium iodine (KI) or other drugs to protect themselves from radiation?
Drugs are not available to protect a person from most radioactive materials. Potassium iodide, also called KI, only protects the thyroid gland from exposure to radioactive iodine, which could lead to thyroid cancer years after exposure. KI does not protect a person from the immediate effects of radiation.
Where can I find additional information about nuclear power plant accidents?
More information about nuclear power plant accidents can be found through the Virginia Department of Health at www.vdh.virginia.gov/oep/Agents/Radiation, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention at www.bt.cdc.gov/radiation/, or the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission at www.nrc.gov/what-we-do/emerg-preparedness/prepare-for-radiological-emerg.html.

About Us

|Joining Is Easy
Welcome to The Emerald Cure, a California Collective whose purpose is to legally and collectively provide authorized patient members safe and affordable access to medical cannabis under the provisions of Prop 215 and SB420. We are a delivery only service covering Paso Robles, Templeton, Atascadero, Santa Margarita, Lake Nacimiento, Shandon, San Miguel, San Luis Obispo, Los Osos, Morro Bay, Cayucos, Cambria and areas in between. Please feel free to look through our site to learn more about The Emerald Cure and medical cannabis in general or give us a call! We look forward to helping you fulfill your medical needs.
When The Emerald Cure opened the phone lines in the fall of 2012, patients in North County didn't have access to their marijuana cure. We saw this as a grave injustice and that's why we're here! We truly get pleasure from being able to help our local patients and even those who are just passing through and this is why we continue to provide the most discreet, reliable service we can. We work closely with many local patients, who are also growers, to offer quality medication in a variety of strains and methods. With the recent outcropping of collectives in North County, many of whom are opening additional collectives away from their home towns (a sure sign of growing success across California), we can see our original purpose becoming even more fulfilled and this is wonderful news!
As we continue on our journey, it is our goal to become more involved in the movement towards legalization or at the very least, true decriminalization. As we become more knowledgeable and involved, we hope to bring some of our patients with us. If you are interested in doing more, check out our Get Involved! blog for some helpful places to get started. If we all work together, we can make a difference, especially here at home! After all, we live, work, and medicate here so here is where we need to support each other the most.
If you use Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram, we've also created two new hashtags: #theemeraldcure and #slommj. We would love to see more of our patients utilizing these tags while sharing stories and pictures in this group endeavor to educate and move beyond the fear that seems to permeate around the topic of cannabis. Commenting in our Get Involved! blog is always welcome as well. Let's fight together for our right to utilize our emerald cure!

As a new medical user I placed my first MMJ order ever with the Emerald Cure last week. I wasn't sure what to expect but I found the experience was easy and straightforward. The person I talked to on the phone was great and I was set up within five minutes. The delivery driver arrived shortly thereafter and was friendly and discreet. The product was as described and took care of my symptoms. Thanks for your valuable service to our community. Look forward to future orders!

There are angels in Paso Robles!!!!! I am very new to finally using natures best medicine… As a new MMJ user – I needed the basics in education and use, and of course, the types that would work for my medical conditions. I have been blessed!!! The help I received was most definitely "God Sent" and I so appreciate the kindness, and the discrete service I received, In a manner of minutes – I felt cared for and was made to feel like a patient that needed help with pain relief vs how the medical field has treated me (a drug seeking patient). Thank You so much for being there to help us – the patients with real pain that need these angels in our lives. You are a priceless blessing in my life and the lives of all those you help and serve. 😀

Oh my goodness, I need him. Cant wait to start making him. He does looks sneaky, he may eat all my working yarn if I let him.
I think this may just be the first pattern I buy online. Also, it's too cute to not give my insomniac "um, that's okay I don't need a scarf, hat, or anything else knitted" friends (and yes, I still consider them friends, because they will adore my knitting when they have babies)! And because who can say no to adorable sheep?!?!?!!? Note: it's $1 less on ravelry than etsy. And I can't wait to buy some boucle and get started!!
FYI: Same price on craftsy as on ravelry! Yay craftsy patterns!
Dear Cheezombie - I found you here. :-D What is that cute lil tag on the rear of your sheep? I am thinking that would be a neat way to mark my projects when giving as gifts.
Can someone help I would love to make this pattern but it is no longer available ?

By Margaret, Proud Veteran of the United States Navy and American
This past week has been rough for America and for those who wear the flag of the United States of America on their shoulders.
Extremely rough for some. Unfathomably hard. There are widows and widowers. Children burying parents. Parents who are burying their children.
As a veteran, I am completely comfortable saying it was tough for me. On several occasions, I have wept.
As our neighbors, our brothers and sisters, our sons and daughters, our husbands and wives mourn, grieve and heal, please remember today.
Today is a celebration to honor America's veterans for their patriotism, love of country, and willingness to serve and sacrifice for the common good.
Our brave veterans are sacrificing every day they wear the uniform – not just when on foreign soil.
May God Bless America and those who protect Her.
Part II
(as forwarded to me via email – this was not written by me nor anyone I know… sorry for any confusion. Did not mean to mislead anyone!)
1/2 Boy, 1/2 Man
The average age of the military man (or woman) is 19 years old.
He is a short haired, tight muscled kid who under normal circumstances is considered by society as half man, half boy. Not yet dry behind the ears, not old enough to buy a beer, but old enough to die for his country.
He never really cared much for work and would rather wash his own car than his father's, but he has never collected unemployment either.
He's a recent high school graduate, he was probably an average student, pursued some form of sport activities, drives a ten year old jalopy and has a steady girlfriend that either broke up with him when he left or sears to be waiting when he returns from half a world away. He listens to rock and roll, jazz, hip-hop or rap and a 155mm Howitzer.
He is 10 or 15 pounds lighter now than when he was at home because he is working or fighting from before dawn to well after dusk. He can field strip a rifle in 30 seconds and reassemble it in less time in the dark. He can recite to you the nomenclature of a machine gun or a grenade launcher and use either one effectively.
He digs foxholes and latrines and can apply first aid like a professional. He can march until he is told to stop or stop until he is told to march.
He obeys orders instantly and without hesitation but he is not without spirit or individual dignity.
He is self-sufficient. He has two sets of fatigues – he washes one and wears the other. He keeps his canteens full and his feet dry. He sometimes forgets to brush his teeth but never to clean his rifle.
he can cook his own meals, mend his own clothes and fix his own hurts. If you're thirsty, he will share his water with you. Hungry, his food. He'll even share his ammunition with you if you run low in the midst of battle. He has learned to use his hands like weapons and weapons like they were his hands.
He can save your life, or take it – because that is his job.
He will often do twice the work of a civilian, draw half the pay, and still find ironic humor in it all.
He has seen more suffering and death than he should have in his short lifetime.
He has wept in public and in private, for friends who have fallen in combat and is unashamed.
He feels every note of the National Anthem vibrate through his body while at rigid attention, while tempering the burning desire to 'square-away ' those around him who haven't bothered to stand, remove their hat, or even stop talking..
In an odd twist, day in and day out, far from home, he defends their right to be disrespectful.
Just as did his Father, Grandfather, and Great-grandfather, he is paying the price for our freedom. Beardless or not, he is not a boy. He is the American Fighting Man that has kept this country free for over 200 years.
He has asked nothing in return, except our friendship and understanding..
Remember him, always, for he has earned our respect and admiration with his blood.
And now we even have women over there in danger, doing their part in this tradition of going to War when our nation calls us to do so.
As you go to bed tonight, remember this shot. . .
A short lull, a little shade and a picture of loved ones in their helmets.
'Lord, hold our troops in your loving hands. Protect them as they protect us. Bless them and their families for the selfless acts they perform for us in our time of need. Amen.'

With the advent of the 80-hour workweek, much attention has been focused on the benefits of shorter work hours regarding resident fatigue and reduced medical errors. Along with this change, however, there has been more reliance on multiple teams of residents who assume the care of inpatients at different times. In this new paradigm, a safe and effective sign-out process is needed to ensure a seamless transition of care from one resident to another. Several studies have been published on the sign-out process among interns in internal medicine, but the literature is sparse with regards to the best way to hand over care of a busy inpatient surgical service. To aid in this process, the Halsted surgical interns performed a review of the current literature on this topic. They also reflected on their personal experiences and developed a 10-point method for safe and effective sign-outs. This process is emphasized for incoming interns and used across the various surgical services at The Johns Hopkins Hospital.
