Auxilium Pharmaceuticals has announced plans to merge with Canada-based ophthalmology-focused biotech firm QLT with the aim of expanding Auxilium's corporate platform. Per the agreement, a wholly owned subsidiary of QLT will be merged with and into Auxilium; QLT, now under the name "New Auxilium", will remain incorporated in British Columbia.
The combined organization will be led by Auxilium's current leadership team and will maintain Auxilium's current offices in Chesterbrook, PA. The merged firm's board will consist of all Auxilium's current directors along with two current directors from QLT. Auxilium adds it is not expecting any material changes to its current U.S. operations or employment; in fact, it expects to grow its presence in both the U.S. and Canada.
The companies also plan to continue pursuing a potential partnering agreement for QLT's retinoid program, which is nearing Phase III development. The synthetic retinoid program, QLT says, is a replacement for 11-cis-retinal being developed to treat retinal diseases caused by gene mutations that interfere with the availability of 11-cis-retinal. Auxilium believes this program will augment its existing orphan drug portfolio and allow the firm to expand its orphan drug reach outside of the U.S.
"The merger with QLT represents a unique opportunity to accelerate our desired strategic transformation into a leading, diversified North American specialty biopharmaceutical company," Adrian Adams, Auxilium's president and CEO, said in a statement. "We believe this transaction will facilitate the continued build out of our current portfolio and provide us with the corporate platform and strong financial position to build on our strength in men's healthcare and enable expansion into new specialty therapeutic focus areas."

The Rosa Mystica Block Vineyard is a Cab lover's Cab Franc. Black color, ripe fruit, blackberry cedar nose, ripe, rich textured finish. This is a multi-dimensional wine, nothing like usual Cab Franc- too good to be a mixing wine, this Cab Franc stands on its own. David says the vineyard makes wonderful fruit but is exposed to extreme weather stress, resulting in tiny harvest of small, intensely flavored grapes.
2008 Vintage Tasting Notes
This wine is all about elegance and sophistication. The aromas are complex--bright red berry, perfume, and cedar. Initially, the wine is supple and delicate, hiding a richness and depth that fleshes out with a minute or two of air. It's surprisingly drinkable now for a young wine, and will win over even the most ardent Cab Franc "non-believer."
2008 Wine Spectator - 92 points - Silky and lively, this is appealing for its raspberry, red plum, floral and clove flavors, neatly wrapped with refined tannins, lingering well. Shows style and grace. Drink now through 2015. 960 cases made. - H.S.
2007 Vintage Tasting Notes
Aromas of bright red berries, wet stone, cardamom. Elegant flavors of red berry liquer and currant on the palate conceals the spicy tannins and grilled herbs on the finish.
2007 Wine Spectator - 92 points - Aromatic with floral and savory herb notes, then expands in the mouth with supple blackberry and cherry fruit, finishing expressively with rich texture. Drink now through 2015. - H.S.

The explanations and information you provided Marcello at check in were very good. The apartment is equipped with everything you need but to my regret I have to say that the sofa bed was broken. The mattress is made up of 3 parts of wood were not united or fixed together, ie, were superimposed so that the turn around in bed moved and the foot was falling. It does not seem ethical to renting apartments in these conditions considering the price / night we had to pay. Filiberto, let me down.
Las explicaciones e información que nos facilitó Marcello en el check in estuvieron muy bien. El apartamento está equipado con todo lo necesario pero muy a mi pesar he de decir que el sofá cama estaba roto. El somier se componía de 3 partes de madera que no estaban unidas ni fijas entre sí, es decir, estaban superpuestas por lo que al girarte en la cama se movían y la parte de los pies se caía. No me parece ético que se alquilen apartamentos en estas condiciones teniendo en cuenta el precio/noche que tuvimos que pagar. Filiberto, me has defraudado.
we had a great time! Organization by Filiberto and his brother was great, they also brought us some ventilators to bear the heat in the city. The flat is very in the center of the city. We would go there anytime again! Thanks!
Nice location close to everything, restaurants, ice cream shops, metro, tram. With pram 3verdiepingen stairs is less but otherwise nice apartment.
Leuke locatie dichtbij alles, restaurants, ijssalons, metro tram. Met kinderwagen 3verdiepingen traplopen is minder maar voor de rest leuke appartement.
The apartment on the 3th floor without elevator is true to the photos. Clean, beds made and fresh towels changed. Adequate equipment in good working condition. The only small snag the soundproofing.! The double glazing is not very good and pa as there is a bar below open until 2.00 in the morning it is a little noisy. But it is the only complaint. It is conveniently located near the tram and tt near the metro. 10 minutes from the center by public transport. A good product
L appartement au 3em etage sans ascenseur est fidèles aux photos. Propre, les lits faits et du linge de toilette fraîchement changé. Équipements suffisants et en bon état de marche.
Le seul petit hic l insonorisation.!! Les doubles vitrages ne sont pa très bons et comme il y a un bar en dessous ouvert jusque 2.00 du matin c est un peu bruyant . Mais c est le seul reproche à faire.
Il est idéalement situé à proximité du tram et tt près du métro. 10 min du centre par transport en commun.
Un bon produit
Hello, it was great ! thank you very much for these wonderful stay in milano. We had just a very good time in your appartment and feel us really comfortable. The location near the canal is usful to go for a drink or a good dinner. It was clean and there is enough place for 4 people.
The apartment is great: sufficiently equipped, well located and communicated. The only drawback I've seen are the difficulties of accessibility (third floor, no elevator and lots of stairs). The host, Filiberto, is a person with a nice, answered queries quickly and solved it brilliantly realized a minor inconvenience that we came. I recommend this apartment.
El apartamento está fenomenal: suficientemente equipado, bien situado y comunicado. El único inconveniente que hemos visto son las dificultades de accesibilidad (tercer piso, sin ascensor y con muchos escalones).
El anfitrión, Filiberto, es una persona de trato agradable, contestó rápidamente a las consultas que le realicé y resolvió estupendamente un pequeño inconveniente que nos surgió.
Recomiendo este apartamento.
The apartment is in a good location. By tram you go directly to the center and according to the "Duomo". In the apartment, everything was neat and even though we had arrived an hour earlier than planned, we did not have to wait long and the colleague of Filiberto was already there and gave us the keys. Plus it's very comfortable, find it perfectly four people place! :)
Die Wohnung befindet sich in einer guten Lage. Mit der Tram fährt man direkt ins Zentrum und entsprechend zum "Duomo". In der Wohnung war alles ordentlich und obwohl wir eine Stunde früher als geplant angereist waren, mussten wir nicht lange warten und der Kollege von Filiberto war schon zur Stelle und gab uns die Schlüssel. Außerdem ist alles sehr komfortabel ausgestattet, es finden perfekt vier Leute Platz! :)
Great flexible host and good apartment. All the facilities we needed were there, and the location is 5-10 mins from a tube station.
- Quality assured accommodation
- Every host is verified by telephone

- Metal washers approximately 5/8" diameter- you need 10
- Plastic water bottle caps - 10 for the playing pieces
- Items to go into bottle caps/playing pieces - You will need 10 items (two sets - 5 each item or color -example 5 green buttons, 5 red buttons)
- You will be using the back side or non color side of the 6-3/4" x 6-3/4" board.
- Glue the 9 - 2" x 2" pieces onto the board, evenly spacing each onto this background.
- Place a piece of the self adhesive magnet into the center of each 2" square on the board.
- The top part of the plastic water bottle cap will be the bottom of each playing piece. Using a small amount of glue, glue a metal washer to the flat part of each plastic water bottle lid. Let glue dry.
- Choose which item you will use in the center of each cap to create the 'o' or the 'x'. You will need 5 of each. It can be from suggestions above.
- Glue into place inside each cap. Let glue dry.

Yes, the President is doing what America says it wants in his latest poll. But is he giving the American people the information they need to make an informed decision when his pollster calls?

"Totally loved the design & end product, very proud to send the beautiful cards out to family & friends, unsurprisingly I've been asked for product details..."
"I ordered these cards as a gift for my friend when her baby boy was born. I figured he would get lots of baby stuff and this would be something that could really be used. It was a HIT!!"
"This is my son's first Halloween and I wanted something to commemorate it with and so that his grandparents and aunts could have a memory. This card was perfect! I'm even putting one in his scrapbook."
"Fun Halloween themed card. Layout allows for more of your original photo to show, love that! Orange glitter look on back is a cute touch. My family was thrilled to receive this card!"
"The quality of these cards was astounding, and the pictures and colors were breathtaking!! Our friends and family couldn't stop raving about how much they loved the cards. The square, tri-fold design is chic and is what makes the card unique. I appreciated all the reminders from tiny prints about the extra postage required for square cards. (Within the USA it's 66 cents.) I wasn't aware of the option for "modified rectangular envelopes" until I had completed my order. I would absolutely recommend these cards to everyone!! They're gorgeous!!"

"Futures for Teaching American Studies"
The aim of this issue is to collect a series of essays from contributors around the world that focus directly on the practice of
teaching American Studies at various levels, with a particular
emphasis on under- and postgraduate teaching.
We welcome contributions from anyone engaged with American Studies, either as a teacher or a student. Contributions should be no more than 10-12 pages in length. They can be experiential in focus -concentrating on teacher methodology, lesson plans, syllabus design, or examination; or they can be more theoretical. The aim of the issue is to provide a series of essays from contributors working in a variety of contexts, teaching American Studies in a variety of ways.
Some of the themes might include:
1) Pedagogic practice - how is American Studies taught in the classroom? And for what reason? Language learning? Inter- or
cross-cultural knowledge? Factual learning about the United States?
To create inter- or cross-cultural speakers?
2) Cross- and/or inter-cultural issues: why should students engage
with American Studies, especially in countries other than the United
States? And how are such basic terms as multiculturalism translated
into pedagogic practice?
3) Histories and/or Futures for American Studies? Has the practice
of teaching and learning American Studies changed within the last
decades, and to what extent does it have to change, with the onset of new technologies?
4) Syllabus design. Can American Studies be taught in a genuinely
inter-disciplinary manner, or should we focus on one particular
discipline within the field -* e.g. literature, history, or
politics. What does an 'inter-disciplinary' form of study mean?
5) Evaluation. How do we judge students to be 'competent' in
American Studies? Knowledge of facts, or by looking at what recent
theorists have described as their 'intercultural competence'?

Ryder Russell is one lucky little boy – nothing seems to faze the 4-month-old's mom, Kate Hudson. Lack of sleep? "Beautiful." Weight gain? "Fun." Going back to work? "Great." But unlike most new parents, Hudson got a crash course in motherhood while making her latest movie, Raising Helen (in theaters May 28). In the film she plays a single woman who ends up taking in her sister's three kids.
Hudson, 25, recently chatted about learning the ropes, losing her baby fat and changing diapers with a rocker, husband Chris Robinson.
Is motherhood all that you thought it would be?
It's incredible – and then some. ... Nobody ever tells you how hard it's gonna be, you know? It's like everybody keeps all the hard stuff away from you. But it's amazing.
What's been hard?
Well, when you're nursing and you're working 18-hour days – that's pretty hard.
How difficult was it to get back into shape?
I gained 60 lbs.
Proud of it. It was fun. It was great. I kind of figured, you know, why do I need to watch my weight when I'm pregnant? I'm gonna eat whatever the hell I want to eat.
I'm okay being big. It felt like everybody else was more worried about it than I was. I just knew that when I started shooting I didn't want to get two months into it and then all of a sudden drop my weight drastically from being, you know, 145 lbs. to 118 lbs. So I worked out every day, two hours to three hours a day, for about two and a half months.
Most actresses would freak out.
I had a baby. There's nothing to be ashamed of when you blow up.
Did doing Raising Helen prepare you at all?
Not really. I learned from my parents (Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell) ... they're my biggest support system right now. ... I was saying today I can only hope that when Ryder and then the next kids come, they like me as much as I like my mom, you know?
So how many kids do you think you'll have?
I need to take a break to, like, go out and have a couple drinks before I go and do this all over again. (With) nursing, you know, it's been a long time since I've been able to go out and have a nice night with my husband.

I've never been a big fan of what's known as "professional wrestling," so please forgive me if I don't greet the big-screen debut of a rassler called Kane with much enthusiasm. I am, however, a pretty staunch supporter of the horror genre, so I did hold out some hope that WWE Films could cobble together a half-decent slasher flick. To say that that hope was misguided is an understatement on par with "Michael Jackson is mildly creepy."
WWE's debut effort (and I use the word "effort" charitably) is called See No Evil, a shamelessly derivative and helplessly inept piece of genre flotsam that rips off everything from Friday the 13th toSaw 2 -- and does so in only the most tiresome and unremarkable fashion imaginable. This flick sounds like it was written by a mommy-hating nine-year-old who just discovered the joys of pointless profanity, looks like it was shot inside of an abandoned Motel 6, and feels precisely like the cynical, careless, and flimsy piece of plagiarism it so obviously is. While some horror flicks use their gritty, grungy exteriors to set a mood and create some tension, See No Evil is more than content to wander around its unconvincing soundstage, doling out nothing but atrocious acting and/or writing, desperately hoping that a small contingent of slasher supporters and wrestling aficionados will care enough to see what the thing has to offer. (Which ain't much.)
Try not to giggle as I break the plot down for you: We open with a cop getting his arm chopped off by a serial killer, but not before the cop nails his attacker with a bullet to the brain. Flash forward a few years and the (now one-armed) cop is in charge of a group of photogenic young criminals ... and together they're all going to clean up a decrepit old hotel! Needless to say, the same old lunatic is already in residence at the Blackwell Hotel, and he won't chill down until he's thrown a few hooks into his unwelcome visitors. Oh, and he loves to collect eyeballs. Try not to chuckle out loud when the Act III flashback parade explains the whole eyeball thing.
Now, seeing as I've spent more than 25 years salivating over the spookiest and most gruesome horror flicks ever made, I didn't go into See No Evil expecting some sort of Merchant Ivory-style period piece or a plot-heavy masterpiece stuffed with Mametesque chit-chat ... but See No Evil was already produced about five dozen times between the years of 1978 and 1990, and absolutely nothing has been done this time around to give the genre fans something fresh or exciting to sink their teeth into. Oh yeah, the stalker is played by a wrestler called Kane. There's your fresh twist, I suppose. (The fact that See No Evil's serial stalker is only slightly more horrifying than, say, Sloth from The Goonies is not exactly a good thing.)
The cast is a mixed bag of Americans and Australians, none of whom are talented or experienced enough to escape from this mire with a gold star pinned to their lapel. As a matter of fact, you won't find one likable character in the whole damn movie -- which makes sense because See No Evil exists not to scare you, but to have you cheer appreciatively whenever the next smug little asshole gets a rusty hook wedged beneath his jawbone. Former porn director Gregory Dark so desperately wants to ape the Saw series' visual gimmickry that he clearly has no time or inclination to mount anything even remotely atmospheric or intense or (gasp) scary. In the hands of a more
(Mr. Dark's career goes from A) hardcore porn to B) softcore Skinemax to C) Britney Spears videos to D) horror flicks bankrolled by Wrestling. Whether he's moving up or down in the filmmaking industry is entirely up to you ... but if See No Evil looks and sounds like a porn flick (and it does), only with a decidedly different style of "penetration," I guess now we know why.)
The screenplay is an endless litany of hateful banter and middle-school-style quips of desperate vulgarity; the editorial approach could be best described as "on shuffle;" and the performances from stem to stern are aggressively inadequate. In an effort to mask his flick's relative worthlessness, Dark tries to amp up the Gore Factor (taking special care to really abuse the female characters while the male victims get off relatively easily), but it's pretty clear that the MPAA had a field day censoring this mindless abortion. I suppose we should feel grateful that the rating board snipped a few moments from this mercilessly awful horror flick, but even at 81 minutes, See No Evil is about 71 minutes too long.
I cannot speak for the wrestling fans, because for all I know they might see Kane's cinematic debut as the next coming of Clint Eastwood, but the big lug just waddles through the movie with a chain in his hand and a hole in his head -- and frankly I think the performance is pretty darn embarrassing. But I can speak as a serious and passionate Horror Geek, and as such I am offering fair warning to all my carnage-lovin' colleagues out there: This thing is even worse than most of those direct-to-video horror junkpiles that you find littering the dusty end of the Blockbuster shelf. If See No Evil is a good indication as to what WWE Films has to offer down the road, I think I just found another reason to continue ignoring "professional wrestling."

So glad to see this arrest, whether it be Marijuana or Meth, we need to clean this town up. Have heard so many negative comments made this week about money being wasted on Marijuana busts, but drugs are drugs and all drug users start somewhere, usually with marijuana. Maybe we should also crack down on the Salem slum lords that house this type of trash. If they weren't allowed in, they wouldn't be here. The people of this town are also responsible for what it is becoming.

In Japan there is this ridiculously insane obstacle course. In fact, our understanding is that of the last 2,500 people who attempted to complete the course, only three ever have. We don't particularly like those odds, but there are those out there who feel as though they're more than able to beat them. This show has gone about finding 15 different finalists in the US, 10 of which have been sent to Japan. Now we're going to get to see just how well those folks have done, and which will have won the G4 grand prize of $250,000. That makes this a pretty big night.

Please describe your study/research interests and why.
My area of interest is primarily on water quality for developing countries. My interests have grown and evolved through my years at Drexel and in addition to water quality, I have explored my interests in urban hydrology and stormwater management. While my area of interest has varied, water has always been my focus within the Environmental Engineering program.
My second and third co-op experiences were both with The Philadelphia Water Department in the Planning and Research with the Stormwater Plan Review Group. In this position, my primary responsibly included reviewing private development plans for compliance to the stormwater management regulations. These regulations have been implemented in response to the Pennsylvania Stormwater Management Act administered by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection. I also had the opportunity to model runoff scenarios for development sites to ensure that stormwater management practices would function appropriately. This position allowed me to understand the incredible impact of development in urban settings on stormwater runoff and urban hydrology. I have been able to learn first hand how Philadelphia has set goals to reduce the impact of development on our environment.
In a few sentences, explain what you like about Drexel's Engineering Program.
Drexel University's College of Engineering has helped me reach my academic and professional goals through a rigorous program.

They can both carry a tune – but Emmy Rossum and boyfriend Adam Duritz missed the chance to become duet partners in Savannah, Ga. The two were in town for the Savannah Film Festival and headed over to McDonough's, which is famous for karaoke, but a source reveals that "the karaoke manager said there was a long list of people who were going to sing and that the list was closed." Duritz and Rossum laughed the whole thing off – plus, Rossum was already making music before receiving the Young Hollywood award at the Savannah College of Art and Design that night. "She was singing in the green room, " the source says, "which made [Adam] laugh."

With the summer sun making an appearance across the country, these simple maintenance tips from Stephen White of Call-out Crew, will make sure that your wooden window frames and doors are protected and last for years.
At the recent DIY workshop held in Mfuleni, 16 Habitat for Humanity beneficiaries learnt how to maintain these exterior wooden features. The workshop was presented by Call-out Crew as part of Property24's Clicks for Bricks initiative (visit www.clicksforbricks.com to help change the life of another deserving beneficiary).
If wooden doors and window frames are not cared for, they can be damaged by rain and sun, causing discolouration as well as warping, or door panels separating. Replacing these items can become costly, but here is what the workshop participants learnt to ensure these features last longer and maintain their colour and beautiful appearance.
It is a good idea to note which side of your home is north facing, as the wooden features on these walls may need more frequent maintenance. All wooden window frames and doors, however, should receive maintenance once a year by sanding and varnishing.
Sanding down the wood first, prepares it for the coat of varnish and removes any old or flaking varnish or dirt. Before buying sandpaper, it's important to note that it comes in different levels of grit or roughness, with the lower the number, the rougher the sandpaper.
Some tips from the wise:

Below-par design means Chinese vehicle competitive in used market.
I've read many reviews of Chinese cars with great interest. This is the first time I've evaluated one myself. It's a tricky business, because already I've fallen into the trap of implying that all Chinese cars are the same.
They're not, of course, but those available in New Zealand do share a short lineage, from what you'd call an emerging automotive industry, which still generally lags behind the design, engineering and quality of its Japanese and Korean rivals.
That explains why they are so cheap: they have to be. Hence the uncontrollable desire to speak of them collectively.
Consider our Great Wall Motors (GWM) X200 turbo diesel test vehicle. At $34,990, the automatic-transmission model is the flagship of the X-series range.
It comes with a 105kW/310Nm 2.0-litre engine, five-speed automatic gearbox, shift-on-the-fly four-wheel drive system, leather upholstery, Bluetooth, climate air conditioning and a touch-screen information display with reversing camera.
By contemporary standards there's plenty about the X200 that's simply awful. The powertrain is noisy and turgid from a standstill, the ride is as unsettled as you'd expect of a ladder-frame chassis (it's based on the same platform as the V-series ute), the steering is laughably slow and the brakes are hopeless.
Stuff like that I expected. But there were a few surprises as well. The X200 doesn't mind corners at all, with decent body control and good grip. The interior plastics are rock-hard and you'll find a few rough edges if you run your fingers underneath door bins and around centre-console cubbies, but the panel gaps are tight and consistent, and there was not a rattle to be heard in our test car.
The leather feels more authentic than some Korean cars I can think of, although the seats themselves totally lack shape and support.
The closest thing I can think of from the competition is a Nissan X-Trail, which in leather-trimmed TL diesel/automatic form costs $51,990.
Compared with the Nissan, the GWM X200 is generations behind in terms of sophistication, but then that's not really the competition, is it?
In reality, the GWM is up against a used crossover vehicle, bringing loads of equipment and a new-car warranty to the table.
Out of interest, I did find a used X-Trail diesel for sale: 2009 model, 51,000km, with the (minimal) balance of the three-year factory warranty to run, for $32,995. Food for thought.
The X200 diesel has not been crash-tested by the Australian New Car Assessment Programme (ANCAP), but the petrol model scores an acceptable four stars out of five.
I'm sure one day soon we'll be talking about a GWM in the same terms as a Japanese or Korean vehicle. We're not there yet. I did rather enjoy my week in the GWM, in an underdog kind of way. Good conversation piece, too.
You still get what you pay for, and I mean no disrespect in saying that with the X200, the price is right.

I bought my uberti '61 early this summer, and love everything about it. It's really accurate, but not so much in my hands...
September 1, 2008, 04:51 PM
1861 .36 Navy Signature Series. Shoots as good as it looks.
September 1, 2008, 05:47 PM
I too have a Signature Series '61. Love it. For me, it's got perfect balance and it and shoots great. Looks good as well.
September 1, 2008, 05:59 PM
A fine gun, but by no means 'the best shooter', in my opinion.
September 1, 2008, 06:27 PM
I have had a Uberti 1861 for years. It is a very good shooter.
I don't know why the 1861 would necessarily be a better shooter than other Colts; it seems to me that they have as much potential for varying gun to gun as any other collection of guns might.
But I do like mine and find it to be a quite attractive revolver.
I believe a lot of historians and Colt afficionados also feel the 1861 was a particularly nice gun.
September 1, 2008, 07:02 PM
I just got my Uberti '61. Haven't taken it out for a trial run yet, but it's a beauty! Nice and crisp,very light trigger pull.
September 1, 2008, 07:25 PM
they're all different of course but mine is the only percussion revolver I have that hits exactly to the sights at 25 yards. All I did was widen the hammer notch a little for visibility. This example's "issues"(all replicas seem to have issues ) are that the barrel catch would walk out of the under-barrel dovetail and the little pin that holds the catch in the loading lever would also walk out. a modest application of J&B weld took care of these things

I don't think anything will out perform either of my Old Army's. I set the bar high by making the Ruger my first BP revolver some 12 years ago. Looking back, I'd have to say I wish I had bought more of them!
September 1, 2008, 08:20 PM
Nope i have an 1860 Army though
September 1, 2008, 08:31 PM
I have a Ruger Old Army. In my opinion, it's the best black powder gun made, as far as quality, dependability, accuracy (and good looking, too), but there's something about a Colt. As far as the 1861 .36 - it's a work of art that you can shoot. Balance, feel, heft, pointability...it has it all.
September 1, 2008, 08:43 PM
Here's a photo of my ROA and my 1861 Navy.
September 1, 2008, 08:45 PM
I've looked at them for years - but, I have two 1851s, 2nd Generation Colts. Just not enough difference to justify the cost. My Navies are great, reliable, accurate, and just plain fun. Still, I carry and shoot my pocket models (2nd Gen. Colts, 62 Pocket Police and Pocket Navy) more than the larger guns. That is just a personal preference. The 61 Navy is a fine gun. Their are a lot of folks shooting them, and most are more than just satisfied with their choice.
September 1, 2008, 08:58 PM
I was thinking of carrying my '49 from time to time, it's a great in the waist belt size. Other wise I carry my M&P9.
September 1, 2008, 08:58 PM
It's all about the looks, and the '61 has them ;)
The thing is, owning BP guns is like those kid toy commercials: "COLLECT THEM ALL!!"
It's just a matter of which on you get first, then the next one, etc...
September 1, 2008, 08:59 PM
I agree with PRM. My 1851 can outshoot my 1860 any day of the week.

September 1, 2008, 09:03 PM
I have a Uberti 1861 Civilian, the version with the brass grip frame that is a little harder to find. Not sure why this is, as there were only about 100 Colt 1861s made with shoulder stock cutouts; the vast majority were Civilian models with brass backstraps, brass trigger guards, and no cutouts. The Italians had me fooled until I did some research. The '61 is a beautiful weapon, though it seems a tad more barrel heavy than an 1851.
September 1, 2008, 09:08 PM
My pocket pistols. With one I can take 18 friends with me!
September 1, 2008, 09:14 PM
Just ordered one today from Midway, so I own one but haven't received it yet. Have always liked the look of the '61, and MEC always amazes me with the small targets he hits with his.
September 1, 2008, 09:19 PM
ya its amazing what you can do with a hole puncher.
September 2, 2008, 02:32 AM
It is a beautiful Rev the 1861 Colt ... but I'm more of a .44 man and in an 1858 Remington. I really like the ROA(Tina) I have but I do have to call it a 20th Century Revolver not from the 1800's.
September 2, 2008, 09:55 AM
Another 1861 .36 Navy Signature Series here. I love it, only draw back is the rear sight, I had to open it up a bit to get a good sight picture. I also have the Colt Walker so I'm getting used to the hammer sights.
September 2, 2008, 10:17 AM
I have said this before, I bought my first C&B Colt the day I turned 21 - that was almost 33 years ago. Back then money was tight and I liked to shoot. Over the years my appreciation for these guns has grown. You would get flamed for saying this on a lot of forums, but there are times when I carry my pocket models, just because I like them. Got nothing against the modern guns, and I do own several. But my first love of guns has always been the Colts black powders. A couple of years back I started customizing them. When Colt Black Powder Arms was up and running, I had them refinished. I got my Pocket Police shortened to 4.5 inches and a smaller version of the 1860 Army sight fabricated and put on the gun for a better sight picture. Added elephant ivory grips and my wife had my name engraved on the back-strap of my Pocket Police. After three decades of using them - I am very comfortable with the technology. They truly are old friends that I have kept close over the years.
September 2, 2008, 02:27 PM
Here's mine. Purchased new in the late 70's. Still shoot as good as they look.
Not pocket guns, at least for me, but trimmer than my 1860's.
September 2, 2008, 09:50 PM
Picked up a Uberti '61 with steel straps some years back. Lovely little gun, trouble-free and shoots right on. Found a case for it and the set looks very nice.
Sort of like a '57 Chevy except that it shoots.

Had one and gave it away unfired to a friend.
September 3, 2008, 09:26 AM
:) Nope; don't have a '61'. I like 'em and thought about it, but opted out for the larger caliber .44 '60'.
September 3, 2008, 10:40 AM
I have never heard of the 1861 Navy. I've heard of a 1851 Navy and 1860 Army. But, if I bought a ball and cap revolver it would be a Lemat or a '60.
September 3, 2008, 11:01 AM
I bought a used one for my first BP revolver years ago. It came with a horribly done homemade frontsight dovetailed on the barrel, but I still have it and it's always shot well enough. It's set up for the shoulder stock, and I might get one at some point, since I really like the look of stocked pistols.

Actually, none of the above. It's a Replica Arms which imported Ubertis some many years ago. This one was made in 1970, the year I was born. My Dad bought it way back when, I vaguely remember him telling me he got it at a shop in Ohio or it could have been at Friendship, but I've since inherited it. I'm not sure if Replica Arms imported finished pistols or if they finished roughs once they got here. I do know I've not seen other Ubertis with this brilliant of color case hardening though. Sure is a beauty and shoots great too! :cool:
September 4, 2008, 08:02 AM
Replica firearsm is the direct ancestor of Cimarron. I think Allen Firearms came next. They were all Ubertis. During the Replica Arms , Allen Firearms , Colt black powder period, They did have true bone case hardening.

This is not the Texas company. This is the Replica Arms that was in Marietta, Ohio and purchased by Val Forgett of Navy Arms. They imported and sold complete guns.
The two 61s I posted are also from the same company.

Wow Strawhat,
Your pistols are very interesting, I don't think I've seen '61s in those configurations, for one both of yours have full fluted cylinders. Secondly, the top one has a steel squareback trigger guard?! Interesting.
I like seeing other Replica Arms pistols too, except for here I had never seen another before. The colors on mine seem a bit more brilliant than yours though. Maybe they slacked off in later years as you say yours are later 70s where mine was made and proofmarked in 1970.

This is not the Texas company
Im not sure of the history but I think Replica is a direct ancestor of the other companies. Maybe not.

Cimarron used to offer a version with a full fluted cylinder. Model CA051. Not sure if it's still available. A few of the earliest originals, according to an online source, were made this way.

I haven't sampled all of them to be sure but between the ones I have, the 1851 Navy balanced slightly better for me than the 1861. I went the 1851 route.

pohill, I think you like to show off your '61 WAY too much! :)

I guess I was wrong I got a shipment today and found a Pietta 1861 Navy with Ivory faux grips.
I own one, I like them, but still I don't want one anymore:cool:I got one.

Hi All::)
I don't know if a baby Navy counts or not, but here is my Colt Pocket Navy, along with a Colt Pocket Police in a home brewd case.

http://www.thehighroad.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=84270&stc=1&d=1220723874 SAAMANs 61 came in. It is 2008 vintage and nicely put together. He worked on the trigger a little before shooting. It showed it's individualiyt by hitting about 4 inches or a bit more left but right on or close to it for elevation. When he opened the hammer notch sight for visibility, he biased it to the right and got very close to point of aim.
This load was factory swaged lead ball over Eastern Maine treated wads and 22 grains of Goex fffg. From the bench at 25 yards.

You are right. I'm obsessed to the point that I just got another one today.
It's the Signature Series 1861 .36 (I think it's the Custer Commemorative but it doesn't say Custer anywhere on it).
September 6, 2008, 10:18 PM
Wow Pohill it looks awsome.!!!!!:scrutiny: I want it.
September 6, 2008, 10:25 PM
I was telling the guys on Voy forum that the store in Maine (Kittery Trading Post) where I buy my toys has a two-gun cased set, an 1860 .44 Army cap and ball and a cartridge gun in .45 (Cattlemans maybe? I didn't check it out too closely) for around $760. It looked like a great deal.
September 7, 2008, 08:56 PM
All I have to say is, WOW Pohill!! Beautiful!! So..... how's about you send the old spare my way! :evil:
September 7, 2008, 10:39 PM
I had to get a new gun - I was tired of that pic, too. Might have been cheaper just to take a new pic.
This one is unfired - the question is, should it stay that way? I own only shooters but I don't know about shooting this one.
September 9, 2008, 12:38 PM
Hard call on that one Pohill. Such a great gun, but it is hard to say if you should shoot it or not. Either way it is a very nice pistol. Congratz!

Here is my 1861 Navy, a steel back frame. I think they called it a London mod. It was made by Uberti.
I have a R&D conversion cylinder for it and can shoot .38 S&W longs in it. It is shown in a homebrewed case with accessories.

Nice gun, Chubbo. There was a Colt 1851 Navy London Model, but I believe the London factory closed in 1857. There were around a hundred 1861 Navy revolvers cut for a shoulder stock, but I've never seen a surviving specimen and so I don't know if both the backstrap and triggerguard were steel, or if just the backstrap was, like on an 1860 Army. If someone has actually seen an original 1861 that was cut for a shoulder stock, perhaps they could clarify. Of course, Uberti might have indeed once called it a London model, as they do the '51.
September 12, 2008, 05:44 PM
I liked it...
September 12, 2008, 07:31 PM
Interesting article, SG, even if I don't agree with the writer.
I thought the 1862 Pocket Police & Navy were the last Sam Colt design.
And..."However, due to the flaws mentioned above, it is not a pistol for beginners to master. Extreme care must be taken to keep the mechanism free of spent caps, and it may be a task that simply is not worth the effort."
That white handled beauty I have spits spent caps out like a semi-auto, and has never ever jammed.

Well yours is a Colt 1861 Navy Pohill. My 1851 Navy Uberti hasn't given me trouble with caps gettin' stuck...the one in the pic is a Pie-eater so we'll see what happens. Knowing the proceedure of cocking a Colt once fired with a spent cap is an art that all should try when shootin' C & B Revs period.

Tribune Chronicle
NILES - For Alisha Boykin, one of the nicest challenges about art is realizing that anything is possible.
"You learn to look at everything, just simple things around the house, and how they can be used in an art project," said the 16-year-old Canfield High School junior. "It's amazing what you can come up with if you think about it. There's really no limit to it, or how creative you can be."

Boykin's artwork is among dozens created by Howland and Canfield students featured at the Art Outreach Gallery at the Eastwood Mall. She and several Canfield students greeted art gallery visitors on Sunday.
Artwork featured various styles and media, from watercolor and portraiture to three-dimensional pieces such as clay figures and papier mache masks.
"I am really impressed," said Jacci Beam, 46, after looking at some of her daughter's artwork on display with that of other 6th-grade students from Howland Middle School. "This is really cool," she said, smiling as she flipped through the pages of Carly's comic book that was on display with a corresponding clay figurine.
"The Amazing Sprayz" comic book is a mini-adventure of a super hero that comes to the rescue during a bad hair day. The hero is a smiling can of hair spray.
"They had to have sort of a power so I thought it would be cool like the hair spray that sprays out," she explained.
Sixth-grade teacher Alisa Santee from Howland Middle School said her students loved the graffiti art and three-dimensional masks the most.
"I believe that I myself have gotten better from doing art with the students," she said, affirming that anyone can hone their skills with time and practice.
"I have all different units, still-life drawing, portraiture," said Beth Pritchard, 8th grade art teacher from Howland Middle School. "I tried to cover a wide range of media so they can see the different fields of art they can go into. They really liked to work with the clay. Anything with three dimensions."
Santee and Pritchard are both graduates of YSU, and both said they first got their inspiration from their art teachers. Santee said art is important in school because kids are usually going from test to test to test.
"This is where they can be free," she said.
Kathryn Bernard said that as an art teacher she tries to guide her students.
"But it's up to them to be creative and they produce art based on their perceptions and their concepts and ideas," she said.
Another piece of art involved drawing half of a teacher's face.
"We got half of the picture; it's sort of like symmetry, and you had to make the other side of his face," Carly said of her portrait titled, "Mr. Scirocco."
Shelby Crites, 11, a 6th-grader from Howland, said she really enjoyed creating a mask out of papier mache.
"I think it's wonderful for the kids to come see all their hard work," said her mom, Karen Crites, who also commended the teachers in the Howland art program.
Some students attending the art show were not artists themselves, but saw the colorful displays and decided to take a closer look.
"It's crazy, I wish I could do that," said Thomas Salerno, 17, of Niles McKinley High School, referring to a few of the pieces.
Elizabeth Santos, 16, and Rebecca Carroll, 16, agreed, "They're really good."
Katin Angelo, 16, a junior at Canfield, said that although she plans to study forensic science, she will continue to pursuing art as a hobby. Two of her works are included in the exhibit.
"There's a lot of freedom in being able to express yourself through art," she said. "It becomes part of you that you can share with others."

And the survey says....
In a survey launched in the beginning of April, Kitchen Gardeners International asked its members to respond to a series of 10 questions regarding food gardening in their area. The goal of the survey was to help inform the work that KGI is doing in partnership with like-minded groups in other parts of the world. The responses were enlightening.
Overall, members indicated a strong need for funding, information/knowledge, skilled staff, and seeds in order to further promote food gardening in their area. These needs are especially strong from international members in developing countries.
Another major theme in the survey was a consistency of efforts to promote vegetable growing. People in the survey mentioned demonstration gardens, youth education, seed saving, community education, networking and outreach to their region as methods used right now.
In regards to what a partnership with KGI means, and how it can serve members, responses indicate that most people feel the organization should serve to help network, provide information, and occasional funding. People in both developed and developing countries indicated that they would like to find camaraderie in other members, broaden their personal knowledge, and simply share their experiences.
A more detailed summary of our findings can be found below. The survey was not only interesting for the questions it helped answer, but all the new ones it leads us to ask, such as:
We're inviting members of the KGI community to offer their own answers to the questions above and to pose some questions of their own through a 3-part, 3-day discussion taking place in our online forums this week. We hope you can join us (Part 1, Part 2, Part 3)and contribute some thoughts and experiences from your geographic perspective.
Many thanks to Helena Kopczynski, our intern-extraordinaire from Antioch University, and KGI board member, Jan Maes, for their hard work and leadership in coaxing this survey to fruition.
Survey Results
A brief survey was provided to the current members of KGI asking questions about garden projects undertaken. Questions asked included whether a person represented a group, what types of garden promotion projects they have undertaken, what the barriers to gardening were in their country, what their motivations were, what they sought to get from working with KGI, and what they sought to provide other KGI members. Of 92 early respondents 24 were from countries considered "developing," of the Global South. Countries included Thailand, Bali, Pakistan, India, Portugal, Kenya, Israel, Brazil, Mexico, Eriteria, South Africa, Cameroon, Argentina, and Barbados. The country most represented was India, followed by Pakistan. Nonetheless, the group included a broad range of individuals and ecosystems.
Trends in the answers reveal that most people – 12 of the 24 – represented current organizations. One person listed "Family," 6 listed Individual and 4 listed Community. Organization missions included a wide range of projects from sustainable agriculture, organic farming, networking, permaculture, skill training, pollution and carbon reduction, urban agriculture, rural issues, HIV/AIDS and health, school gardens, poverty alleviation, conservation, soil health, indigenous rights, and woman's rights. No one goal dominated. When it came types of projects to promote gardening, respondents indicated a large degree of action in demonstration gardens, youth education, seed saving, community education, networking and outreach to groups in their respective regions. Youth Education and Demonstration Gardens was indicated 11 times, and Community Education 13 times, Seed Saving 12 times, and Networking and Regional Outreach 10 times. What is striking about these answers is the highly localized activity level. Question 4 asked for specific barriers to gardening, and here the answers highlighted a need for funding, seeds, and information. A majority of people responded that Funds – 16 in all - were a major barrier to gardening. The next issue was Information/Knowledge with 11, and Availability of seed with 10. Next, the concerns ranged in numbers for Time with 7, and Skilled Staff with 8, Interest from Community Members and access to supplies with 6 each. When it came to whether people have worked with an international group before, the vast majority indicated "No," which would seem to reflect the lack of projects involving grant application and global outreach.

|Power Information
Put someone in a trance
Physical contact or hand gesture at close proximity
Supportive Power
Hypnosis is a magical ability which allows the user to put someone in a trance. This is often done through physical contact with the victim or through a hand gesture at close proximity. After this is done, the user can command their victim to do whatever they desire. Close contact must be made for this power to work and it works better the longer and more intense the contact is; which is why some users of this power choose to activate it with physical contact; such as a kiss.
Once tapping into Prue's fear of her sisters being in danger, Barbas was able to put Prue in a hypnotic trance by slowly brushing his hand against her forehead. In this hypnotic state, Prue believed that her sisters were replaced by impostors. Piper and Phoebe were able to talk her out of the trance, but it took them quite a bit of time. ("(Ms. Hellfire)")
Demon of IllusionEdit
The Demon of Illusion was able to use this ability by unleashing streams of dust-like particles to calm down the movie audience and place them in a trance. He used this ability to calm them down before using his power of Rage Projection to make them extremely violent. ("Chick Flick")
In the Season 3 episode "Bride and Gloom", Dantalian, a dark priestess, turned Prue evil by marrying her to a warlock, Zile. This rendered Prue in a trance-like state during which Dantalian demanded her to kill Piper and Phoebe. As she was totally under the power of Dantalian, Prue couldn't resist her orders. She went to stab her sisters and even telekinetically threw them back to defend herself. Fortunately, the curse was lifted when Piper literally froze and shattered Zile, vanquishing him, the marital bond and therefore Danatalian's power over them both.
Wicked Witch from the Magic MirrorEdit
The Wicked Witch was capable of putting Adam Prinze in a trance simply by kissing him. Once under the hypnosis, Adam was compelled to do everything that the witch commanded him to. He struggled a little to fight the power when it came to killing Phoebe, but his efforts weren't nearly enough and Cole had to freeze him in order to stop him from carrying out the witch's plan. Adam was freed from her power once she had been vanquished. ("Happily Ever After")
The TriadEdit
In the Season 8 episode "The Last Temptation of Christy", The Triad were able to hypnotise Christy. When Billie went to save her, she stood there and did nothing whilst Billie was under attack. Billie was able to break the hypnosis by talking to Christy and getting her to believe.

Featured Golf News
Bandon Dunes Update
I, along with several other media types from the Northwest, did a whirlwind, three-day trip to Bandon Dunes last week. Here's a recap.
The purpose was twofold: one, we checked out the new 13-hole par-3 course now under construction, and, two, we were part of a presser involving USGA officials who came to the 72-hole resort from around the U.S. to discuss the upcoming U.S. Amateur Public Links - for both men and women - which will be held concurrently June 27 through July 2 on the Bandon Trails and new Old Macdonald courses at the facility.
Along with other dignitaries, also on hand was Jim Urbina, Tom Doak's former lead associate who was involved in the design and construction of Pacific Dunes and "Old Mac," which opened last June.
Par-3 Course Review
Designed by the team of Coore-Crenshaw, which also crafted Bandon Trails, the new par-3 track at Bandon Dunes promises to be a doozy. Situated on spectacular dunelands between Trails and the Pacific Ocean, the layout - with 13 holes ranging from 65 to 180 yards - will offer some of the resort's best vistas (if that's possible) of the ocean when it debuts in June 2012.
Dave Zinkand, Coore-Crenshaw's on-site design associate, is working closely with Bandon Dunes' director of agronomy Ken Nice in weaving the tidy track over, around and between some impressive sand hills. Throughout construction the duo has diligently protected an endangered plant, the silvery phacelia, a species unique to the Oregon coast.
As expected for a place that owes much of its heritage to the great links of Ireland and Scotland, the new par-3 course - tentatively to be called "The Preserve" for its integration and protection of the low-growing and quite lovely silvery phacelia - involves a double-green a la St. Andrews Old Course and a punchbowl green that pays homage to Lahinch in Ireland.
Occupying a mere 20 acres (it seems a lot more than that) of the 3,300-acre resort, the Preserve will be a great addition to this venue on Oregon's southern coast. (One problem I have is the projected $100 green fee. This would be a great place for guys and gals to go with a beer in hand after a round on one of the regulation tracks to complete their day. We'll see if that price point holds after the course opens.)
Another Big National Event Coming to Bandon
One of the biggest challenges for any organizing body hosting a national golf championship at Bandon Dunes is its remoteness. There's simply no easy way to get here, though there are flights into Eugene - roughly 100 miles to the northeast - and plenty of places to stay upon arrival.
Bill McCarthy, the USGA's Championship Director of the Men's Public Links, rattled off all the needs for a big tournament -proximity to local housing, dining, airports, population and the quality of the golf courses. He then chuckled before saying only the latter criteria is met by Bandon Dunes.
The resort's general manager, Hank Hickox, said there are many hotel rooms and restaurants in nearby Bandon (five miles south on Highway 101) and Coos Bay-North Bend (25 miles north), not to mention the housing and dining facilities at the resort itself. "Not a problem," he said, noting that the resort now has 280 rooms.
As for the two courses selected for the championships, McCarthy said, "We wanted challenging courses in which they will need to pull every club out of their bags during the round. We chose these two courses (Trails and Old Macdonald) because they are so different from each other, and the champions will need a variety of skills to win.''
McCarthy added that he's hoping that the two courses will present varied challenges depending on the time of the day. "We will be playing in the morning and afternoon, so the winds will be different."
Bandon Dunes is no babe in the big-tournament woods. The two national public links events in 2011 will be the third and fourth USGA national championships played at the resort. They were preceded by the 2006 Curtis Cup Matches played on Pacific Dunes (won by the U.S.) and the '07 U.S. Mid-Amateur, contested at Bandon Dunes and Bandon Trails.
As for this year's championships, which will involve 500 staff members and 200 caddies - not to mention the 312 players, family members of the contestants and galleries, Hickox says, "This is the biggest thing to happen to us ever."
Urbina outlined what Doak's and his mission was at Old Mac. "We were asked to create (Macdonald's) vision," Urbina said of the man who created National Golf Links of America and other shining examples of golf's Golden Age of Architecture. "We had the same ideal for his holes, the same inspiration."
He added that "We wanted to do everything differently than the other golf courses at Bandon. It was all about creating bold features. It was going to be different because of the scale; the site's so much bigger. Ken Nice talked us into using pure fescue grass."
We played the neighboring Pacific Dunes first. From several holes on that track, which ranked 15th in Golf Digest's 2011 list of "100 Greatest Courses," you can glimpse portions of Old Mac to the west.
From this vantage point Old Mac looks flat. Not so, and that's proven when you play it. Urbina said that unlike Pacific Dunes, where 20,000 yards of dirt or sand was shifted to craft the holes, Old Mac's construction process - like that at 10th-ranked National Golf Links - involved repositioning 150,000 to 160,000 yards.
Jim Urbina
The burly Colorado native paid his dues before venturing off on his own. He started working with Pete Dye in the 1980s, at which time he met Doak, who was also working with the legendary designer. For the past 17 years Urbina worked closely with Doak, known for his minimalist designs and honest, equal treatment of the press, developers and golfers in general.
In addition to Pacific Dunes and Old Mac, the two crafted 44th-rated Sebonack, along with a host of other new projects. Urbina was also an integral part of highly regarded renovations at Pasatiempo, Yeamans Hall, The Valley Club of Montecito and San Francisco Golf Club.
Urbina is now out on his own (the parting was amicable). A big project of his now underway is a major renovation of the former Dellwood Country Club in New City, New York. Originally designed by A.W. Tillinghast and opened in the 1920s, the private venue was built by movie producer Adolf Zukor, who founded Paramount Pictures.
In conjunction with Urbina's restoration of many of "Tilly's" original design features, the facility is being renamed Paramount in honor of its founder.

People all around the world are becoming more health and beauty conscious. Previously, women used to be tagged as age conscious individuals but now men are also paying equal attention to the enhancement of their looks.
Millions of beauty products are available in markets that target different customer segments. Target audiences of anti-aging creams are the middle-aged men and women. Major problem arise when they have to choose the best anti-aging cream from large number of good/bad alternatives available in marketplace.
Researches have shown that best anti-aging cream should be an amalgam of ingredients like;
There are several things that all buyers should do before buying any beauty product, some are mentioned below;
Research - Always try to conduct some research before purchasing any beauty product. Preliminary research helps the person to look into the benefits and side effects of product before spending bucks on its purchase.

Police in Berks County are trying to find a woman who they say has been breaking into homes and stealing jewelry.
Caernavon Township officers say the string of jewelry thefts started back on August 3rd and the thief has been targeting the homes in broad daylight.
Community members are on edge and they say they are shocked because it is such a quiet neighborhood.
"We had actually gone away. We took the dog to the vet and when we came home, I did not even really realize anything had happened until a couple days later," said victim Sylvia Losch.
Losch says it took her a few days to realize her jewelry box was missing with more than $3,000 worth of jewelry inside.
"The worst part was some of the sentimental things that we had in there that you cannot really replace," said Losch.
But Losch's house was not the only one targeted. Caernarvon Township Police say a total of five homes have been broken into and jewelry and cash were taken. Neighbors are stunned.
"It is shocking because the road is so quiet. It is quiet around here," said neighbor Richard Pavlesich.
Losch believes the thief got in through an open garage window. She says she never expected something like that to happen in her neighborhood, but she will be more aware in the future.
"My husband travels a lot so we are a little more careful. You make sure all the windows are locked and everything is as secure as you can make it," said Losch.
Police say they are looking for a white female suspect in her 40s, about 5 feet 8 inches tall, weighing 160 pounds with shoulder length dirty blonde hair.
Police ask that if you have seen this woman or have any other information regarding these thefts to contact them.

Los Angeles Lakers guard Kobe Bryant will return to the court Sunday against the Toronto Raptors, he announced on his Facebook page Friday afternoon.
Out since tearing his left Achilles tendon April 12, the 2007-08 NBA MVP and 15-time NBA All-Star posted a video leading into finally announcing a return date. He has been practicing with the team as he rebuilds strength in the Achilles.
Bryant, 35, was an All-NBA first-teamer last season, averaging 27.3 points, 6.0 assists and 5.6 rebounds a game. Without him, the Lakers were swept in the first round of the playoffs by the San Antonio Spurs.
The Lakers, who play Friday night at the Sacramento Kings, have managed to stay afloat without Bryant at 9-9. However, in the dense Western Conference, that puts them in a three-team tie for 10th place and out of the playoff picture. Pau Gasol has led the team with 14.3 points and 9.9 rebounds a game.
Sunday's game (9:30 p.m. ET) at Staples Center will be shown on NBATV, a decision made by the station before Bryant's return was revealed.
