SYDNEY ŌĆö A Sydney man charged in connection with an attempted break and enter has been released on conditions.
© Cape Breton Post graphic
Court news post
George William Giusti, 25, of Franklyn Street, is charged with prowling at night, attempted theft, possession of a break-in instrument (screwdriver), mischief (cutting the power line to a business) and three counts of breaching court orders.
The charges stem from an attempted break-in at a pizza shop on Coxheath Road Feb. 24.
He was released after posting a $5,000 surety and agreeing to abide by a host of conditions including reporting, by phone, once a week to Cape Breton Regional Police and he is to adhere to a curfew which allows him to leave his residence only in the company on one of the two people who posted his bail.
Giusti is also facing seven other counts of breaching court orders and a single count of resisting arrest. Those offences allegedly occurred Sept. 7 in Sydney.
He is now scheduled to enter pleas to the charges April 1.

Should I take him back?
I met a guy few months back and I truly liked him. He told me he was more physically attracted to me than emotionally. I being emotionally attracted to him, made out with him because I felt good being close to him. We made out a few times but every time he told me he couldnt leave his gf. He recently moved to another country and there also he slept with some random girl. Our conversations went from extreme to minimal and a few days back I told him he needs to leave me alone. A month passed by since we hadn't talked at all. I was pursued by a friend of his but I turned him down. It was then when he contacted me and told me he wanted me back in his life and I should give it another shot. I am so confused as what to do

(Special guest appearance by baseball columnist Dan Graziano)
Hung over? Not our Bombers. Anybody who was worried about negative carryover from the Yankees' heartbreaking 8-1/2 hour stay at Comerica Park on Friday night doesn't know how it works.
There are two reasons the Yankees can thwart negative momentum before it blossoms into a season-killer. The first is Joe Torre, who took a couple of minutes (against baseball's rules) and kicked the media out of his clubhouse at 5:45 yesterday so he could talk to his team. From the sounds of things, it was a quick explanation of why they'd been subjected to the ordeal of a four-hour rain delay the night before and a warning against wallowing or brooding. For all his faults as an in-game strategist and manager of his bullpen, nobody's better than Torre at knowing what message his team needs to hear in a given circumstance and then delivering it.
The second reason is the same for every team. The starting pitcher. Chien-Ming Wang was back at the team hotel and in bed before the third inning of Friday night's game, so he was the only guy on the team who wasn't tired. That made Wang impervious to hangover. And while he struggled a little bit early, he's pitching for a team that scores six or seven runs every game, and he hung in long enough for the dam to burst on the Tigers' Jeremy Bonderman.
(By the way, does anybody else wonder what there is to like about Bonderman? He has a good record, and a good reputation. We all know he's SUPPOSED to be good. But every time I see him, he just looks like a guy who gives up a lot of hits.)
So, even though the Red Sox continued to massacre the White Sox (combined score of that series so far: 35-6), the Yankees avoided falling 7-1/2 games behind. Boston's magic number is now down to 27, and the relevance is leaking out of this week's series between the Yanks and Sox at Yankee Stadium, but they're still in a position where they can hope, no matter how vain that hope might be.
And, the Mariners lost! Yes, it actually does happen sometimes. So the Yanks are two games back of Seattle in the wild-card race with a big series against them set to start a week from tomorrow at the Stadium.
Maybe it just felt dull after the lunacy of the night before, but last night's Yankee game wasn't grabbing my interest too tightly. So I watched a little bit of the Mariners-Rangers game on the computer. I was shocked at the number of runners the Mariners were leaving on base. This is the team that's batting .326 in August and winning every night? But a little research this morning told me that this was unusual behavior for the Seattle offense, so I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt. We'll see if they can finish off the Texas series today and keep the Yankees gasping a little bit. And then we'll see what happens this week, when the Mariners play the Angels, who only lead them by a game in the AL West. By next Monday, when they show up in the Bronx, the Mariners could be in first place, and the Yankees could be chasing the Angels in the wild-card race.
A couple of thoughts on Game 5 of the Yankees' crucial late-August odyssey:
1. In the fifth inning after Brandon Inge scored on a wild pitch and while Chien-Ming Wang was clearly struggling, Al Leiter threw in a nifty bit of baseball broadcasting. Michael Kay was saying that Wang obviously has a harder time pitching out of the stretch (which he has to do with men on base) than out of his full windup. And while we hear that a lot, we don't often hear about ways to fix it. Leiter offered one.
He spoke of once hearing that Greg Maddux, the great former Braves pitcher who's now running his career victory total up into the mid-340s with the Padres, throws almost every pitch in hiss practice sessions - pregame warmups and side sessions between starts - from the stretch. Maddux's reasoning is that, since it's easier to pitch out of the windup, it's more important to practice what's harder. Sounds pretty simple, but I'd never heard it before.
The YES Network analysts - particularly Leiter and John Flaherty - do a pretty good job of helping educate viewers about the game. Especially for a couple of guys who are only in their second year of doing this. Now, if we could just get them (and Kay) to stop saying "Nice piece of hitting" EVERY SINGLE TIME somebody hits a ball to the opposite field...
2. Evidently, the official scorer from Friday night's game took an error away from Tigers second baseman Placido Polanco and gave it instead to first baseman Marcus Thames. The explanation was that Thames' foot was never on the base, and that Polanco's wild throw therefore could not have pulled him off the bag. A reasonable explanation? Sure. But one is left to wonder if the investigation would have been so extensive had Polanco not been working on an all-time record streak of 147 consecutive errorless games by a second baseman. Suddenly, that streak is alive again, and stands at 149.
3. During the broadcast of the Rangers-Mariners game (it was the Rangers' broadcast, if that matters to you), they told us that Seattle's regular No. 8 and 9 hitters, Yuniesky Betancourt and Jose Lopez, have a combined 103 RBI. I had no idea what to make of that stat. It seemed like they meant for me to believe that that was a lot, but Ed Price told me he didn't think it was.
So I did a little checking. Betancourt leads all American Leaguers with 28 RBI out of the No. 8 spot in the batting order. Lopez has 18 RBI as a No. 9 hitter, which ranks eighth in the league. Obviously, both guys have collected RBI in other spots in the batting order, if they're at 103 combined. But research indicates that the Mariners are, actually, getting pretty good RBI production out of their 8 and 9 spots.
I only bring this up because I've been looking all summer for reasons why the Mariners are winning games, and this would seem to be one.
4. A quick Mets note here, if nobody minds.
I'm still 13 years away from experiencing this feeling first hand, but I have to believe that watching Aaron Heilman come into a game with a one-run lead in the ninth inning approximates at least a small portion of what it feels like to watch your child drive a car by himself for the first time.
5. My kids are watching a new show called "Yo! Gabba! Gabba!" It's the most inane thing I've ever seen. The song that's playing right now goes like this, I kid you not: "Snacky Snack Snack Snack Snack...Snacky Snack Snack SNACK! SNACK! SNACK!" Guess what it's about? That's right. Snacks.
Seriously, my three-year-old has written songs that show more imagination than that.
See you tomorrow, when we break down the Phil Hughes-Jair Jurrjens matchup for the ages.

Press Releases
Tickets for Rockin' at the Knox on Sale This Monday
April 23, 2010
Buffalo, NY – Tickets for one of Buffalo's biggest celebrations of music and art, Rockin' at the Knox, will go on sale on Monday, April 26, at 10 am. This year, an eclectic lineup headed by Rufus Wainwright and The National, who will be joined by Atlas Sound and Martha Wainwright, will perform on Friday, June 18. Rockin' at the Knox is the Albright-Knox Art Gallery's outdoor fundraising celebration and one of the city's most anticipated events.
"We are delighted with the lineup for this year's event," Gallery Director Louis Grachos said. "It is a packed program this year; doors will open at 5 and performances will begin at 5:30, so I urge everyone to arrive early to enjoy this massive celebration".
Siblings Rufus and Martha Wainwright are the children of folk singers Loudon Wainwright III and Kate McGarrigle. Rufus has carved out his own singular sound in the worlds of rock, opera, theatre, dance, and film. Martha creates her own music with a compelling voice.
The National's much-anticipated new album High Violet will be released worldwide on May 11. The High Violet album cover features a sculpture, The Binding Force, by artist Mark Fox, whose work the Gallery recently acquired for its Permanent Collection.
Rockin' at the Knox will once again take place in the Gallery's parking lot on Elmwood Avenue. The event, which began in 1995, was moved outside the Gallery to the parking lot in 2005 to accommodate larger crowds and a bigger, festival atmosphere. Since then, the event has grown significantly; this year a crowd of 5,000 people is expected to attend. Past performers at Rockin' at the Knox include Wilco, My Morning Jacket, Blondie, the B-52s, Feist, and Elvis Costello. Costello has visited the Gallery several times since his headline performance in 2007.
Lead sponsorship for this year's celebration is provided by Independent Health and M&T Bank. M&T Bank, one of the country's most highly respected regional banks, has a long history of civic and charitable support in Western New York and has been a frequent partner of the Albright-Knox Art Gallery. Shelley C. Drake, President of the M&T Charitable Foundation said, "We are delighted to have the opportunity to present Rockin' at the Knox again this year. M&T understands the importance of dynamic cultural organizations in the context of a thriving Western New York and we wish the Albright-Knox Art Gallery great success as we look forward to this fabulous community event."
"At Independent Health, we're pleased to be supporting the Albright-Knox Art Gallery and their signature event, Rockin' at the Knox," said Michael Cropp, M.D., President and Chief Executive Officer of Independent Health. "We believe support for cultural institutions like the Albright-Knox Art Gallery is important for ensuring our region remains a culturally vibrant community that provides a high quality of life for its residents. We are very excited to be a part of this exceptional evening of music and art."
Media support for Rockin' at the Knox is generously provided by Star 102.5 FM, The Lake 107.7 FM and WGRZ TV, Channel 2.
Rockin' at the Knox 2010 is on Friday, June 18, at 5 pm. Tickets are $40 in advance and $45 on the day of the show. Tickets may be purchased online at www.albrightknox.org, by phone at 866.466.2638, or in person at the Gallery's Admissions Desk. Tickets go on sale on Monday, April 26, at 10 am. The Gallery's Admissions Desk will be open for ticket purchases on April 26, although the Gallery itself will remain closed.
Rockin' at the Knox will be held rain or shine. All proceeds from Rockin' at the Knox benefit the Albright-Knox Art Gallery.

Peter E. Thliveros squeaked by fellow angler Stephen Kennedy by two ounces in the final weight total to win the $250,000 paycheck today in the 2007 Bassmaster Memorial tournament on Onondaga Lake.
The heartbreaker for Kennedy was that he had Thliveros beat in total weight, but ended up getting accessed a 4-oz penalty. That was because a smallmouth bass in his live well that he used in his final weight total went belly up and died moments before the official fishing time ended for the day. The fish was about 3 1/2 pounds, he said.
Bassmasters rules are centered around a catch-and-release philosophy and dead fish are not a part of that.
"I thought he was going to make it," a frustrated Kennedy said afterward. "Honestly, he was upright 10 minutes before we came in, but he was just acting real strange."
For Thliveros, the win was sweet, as he won the first Memorial Tournament last year. The winner check and trophy were presented on a stage at Onondaga Park in Liverpool, where weigh-ins for the four-day tournament took place each day.
The first two days of preliminaries were held at Oneida Lake for the initial, 51-angler field. The top 12 came to Onondaga Saturday, and that was pared down to six for today's final.
Thliveros, of Jacksonville, Fla., finished Sunday with a 18-pound, 3-ounce total for a final weight over the final days of 39 pounds.
Kennedy, who lives in Auburn, Ala., finished out the day with an 18-pound, 11-ounce total for a final weigh-in total of 38 pounds, 14 ounces.
Finishing underneath the two in the standings in the six person Sunday was John Murray of Phoenix, Ariz., (37 pounds, 10 ounces); Dean Rojas of Grand Saline, Texas (36 pounds); Dave Wolak of Wake Forest, N.C. (35 pounds, 15 ounces) and Jared Lintner of Arroyo Grande, Ca. (35 pounds, 12 ounces).
The biggest bass of the day was a 4 1/2 pounder caught by Kennedy, earning him $1,000 -- along with his $32,500 check for second place.

Extasy is the only "Unedited" of the channels but also the most expensive $27. If renting is a pain, then the $27 isn't a bad deal.
GummyBear2001, In other posts you posted that you are 17. I remember being 17. Alot coming out of your mouth, but not alot worthwhile to say. Perhaps in 20 years or you will reverse one of your many personality defect. I think you live for someone to post this question so you can Preach. Preach somewhere else!!!
As for the 17 remarks, No offense to Steve. As he has proven that being 17 can actually lead to well though out and welcome posts.

I see you've fallen for the same addiction. There is more than one reason to hate porn. The fact that it influences AT LEAST (i.e. we know of) five neurotransmitters, makes it a very powerful addiction, just like any illegal drug. And just like drugs, desperate addicts defend their use.

Aren't Power Rangers on? You don't want to miss that after your milk and cookies.
I think your own fixation with this topic seems to imply an addiction of your own. Get your own house in order before you criticize others. Pretty Typical, in order to hide your own deficiencies you preach how others should act. Jimmy Swaggart and Jim Bakker should be very proud of you.

I see no need for this to continue. People-bashing is not an appropriate or dignified response. I told you how I felt and why I felt that way. There was no need for your reaction. I would like to request that the moderators who left this thread alone, PLEASE close it.

Just think about this. Prostitution is getting paid money to perform sexual acts. Being a "porn star" (legalized prostitute in my mind) is getting paid more money, to perform sexual acts in front of a camera for thousands of people to watch. One's illegal, one's considered a legit business. Now why is that?

Thanks Espergarde Gummys religious beliefs are very important to him wheather you agree or disagree with them you should still respect him and his beliefs. For me religion isnt my thing but polotics is. I am a conservative republican, I dont agree with most of the Democratic/liberal views but I still respect them.

See, what he doesn't understand is my thoughts are well thought-out. I've read the Bible, I know what it says. I know what porn is. I know what we were created for. And I've studied more about religion than the large majority of 40 year olds.

Asia Optical expects to see 30-percent growth in 2014
By John Liu, The China Post
January 31, 2014, 12:01 am TWN
TAIPEI, Taiwan -- Thanks to increased orders from Kodak, Asia Optical (亞洲光學) is poised to see 30-percent growth in consolidated revenue, taking in NT$22.5 billion this year, institutional investors estimated.
Asia Optical held an annual banquet on Sunday, where about 150 dining tables were prepared to serve attendants.
Asia Optical Chairman Robert Lai (賴以仁) expressed an optimistic outlook about the company's performance this year, saying that Long Zoom DSC, Mirrorless S-1, Sports Camera SP-1, SP360 (Action Camera) and Smart Lens are expected to drive the company's growth this year. The company's products that utilize cloud technology can be controlled with Wi-Fi.
Kodak's camera-related orders in 2014 amounted to 2.5 million units, and are estimated to contribute NT$7.5 billion worth of revenues, Lai said.
Shipments of smartphone lenses are expected to begin in March, and the company estimates a shipment of 500,000 units in total this year. Shipments of SP360 will begin in May, and the company estimates a shipment of 300,000 units this year.
SP360 can produce 16 megapixel pictures in still mode, and 10.8 megapixel pictures in motion mode. The product can be applied for use in monitors, as event data recorders on vehicles, video conference equipment and sports video recorders. The functionality of SP360, which provides a 360-degree view, is as good as three to four monitors combined, said the company.
Asia Optical's products are also used in vehicles, with lenses utilized in BMW and Mercedes Benz relying on the company's supply. Asia Optical's shipment totaled 150,000 units per month.
The company plans to make further investments in Myanmar, up to NT$600 to NT$700 million this year. The company currently employs 6,000 people in Myanmar, and the number is set to increase to 10,000 this year, turning Myanmar into the company's second-largest manufacturer and contributing NT$5 billion in output value, which is one fourth of the total. Facilities in Myanmar are expected to contribute half of output value by 2016. The company also owns two factories in mainland China, which employ about 10,000 people.

I completely agree that one cannot COUNT more than 5-6 meteors per second. Nevertheless one can roughly ESTIMATE such rates. Turn on metsim, simulate 10 meteors per second and the 50 meteors per second. There is a hige difference. What we found helpful was to open the eye for 1s intervals (or imagine 1s time intervals) and to guess or estimate how many meteors were seen in this interval. Averageing estimates from several intervals (one can do that roughly without calculation from time to time) will than yield something like a rate estimate (25/s, 50/s). The typical error was about 30% or even less. Sirko and I have published a paper in a recent issue of WGN. > moreover, I tried to test the method suggested by the imo, that is to > change to ten meteors count and replace them by one beep instead of > counting, but it appeared to me that this method is not practical to me > with the presence of high numbers of meteors. I think that method will work fine if you have a rate of, say, 1-2 meteors per second. Due to apparent statistical clustering the distribution will seem inhomogenous. So you will have e.g. 2-3 seconds without any meteor and then 4 meteors almost simultaneously. In such a situation this method may work very well. At 30 meteors per second this method will fail since it depends on accurate counting individual meteors, which is of course not possible. > moreover, in the sky, meteors will be distributed all over the sky > heading north, south, west, and east, so one may miss some meteors. but > in the program, one can see all meteors coming, although he can not > count them all. Yes. The observer will notice a larger percentage of faint meteors at the center of his field of vision than in the periphery, where he may only notice the really bright ones. However, ZHR is normally defined as a single observers4s rate, and of course any single observer will always only perceive only a fraction of the meteors present in the sky. You are right, of course, that one of the limitation of a simulation program is that it cannot actually simulate this aspect. However, the idea behind this program was to explore the capability of an observers to count or estimate correctly storm rates of meteors, and not to explore the characteristics of meteor perception in individual observers. So, lets hope that the Leonids will live up to the high expectations! Hartwig Luethen ------- End of Forwarded Message

PITTSBURGH -- If you were expecting Detroit Lions coach Jim Schwartz to express remorse for the ill-fated fake field goal attempt in the team's 37-27 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, think again.
The coach doubled down on his call, saying he doesn't regret the decisions he makes in games. Schwartz also said the team will continue to be aggressive with its play-calling going forward.
"You can all say whatever you want about me," Schwartz said. "Don't say I'm scared, because we ain't. This team is going to be aggressive. We're going to play our very best. We didn't play well enough to win this game."
Schwartz emphasized that the Lions didn't make enough plays to beat the Steelers, but failing to convert the fake in the fourth quarter is the one everyone is talking about.
It was the latest in a series of aggressive decisions Schwartz has made this season and in this game.
The Lions went for it on 4th-and-3 in the first quarter -- failing to convert when Calvin Johnson dropped the pass. The team also called for a quarterback draw to pick up a 3rd-and-3 four plays before placeholder Sam Martin attempted to take it up the gut on 4th-and-5 from the Pittsburgh 10-yard line.
Given the situation, up four in the final quarter, why didn't Schwartz take the easy three points, extending his team's lead to seven?
"Because we're trying to win the game," Schwartz said. "You could have said the same thing about the Redskins game. Why risk it? Why risk it? Every play is a risk. We're going to try to do our very best to win the game."
Against Washington in Week 3, the Lions were in a similar situation, up three in the fourth quarter, facing a 4th-and-1 deep in Redskins territory. Detroit went for it, converting on a Stafford sneak. The team went on to score a touchdown to ice the victory.
After Martin fumbled the ball back to the Steelers, Pittsburgh drove 93 yards to take the lead. Will Johnson's one-yard touchdown reception capped the drive and proved to be the game-winning score.

So far, 2014 has been a year of accolades for young scientists at the Bridgewater-Raritan Middle School. Building Science Coordinator Rob Ambrose has advised and coached some of the school's brightest and most inquisitive minds toward the following accomplishments:
On Friday, Feb. 21, the Bridgewater-Raritan Middle School Science Bowl team placed third at the New Jersey Regional Middle School Science Bowl at Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory in Princeton. The team consisted of Captain Jerry Kong, Andrew Chen, Anne He, Irene Qiao and Wayne Zhao. The team's accomplishment was the result of several months of practice and dedication after school hours and on weekends. Members of the team spent many hours studying subjects that went beyond the Middle School Science curriculum and included Life Science, Physical Science, General Science, Earth Science, and Mathematics.
On Saturday, March 8, several seventh and eighth graders from the Bridgewater-Raritan Middle School presented experiments at the Central Jersey Science Fair at Hillsborough High School in Hillsborough. Students submitted projects covering science topics ranging from Engineering to Genetics. Bridgewater-Raritan Middle School 8th Graders Arnav Naik and Thomas Wilkins received third place medals in the 7th and 8th grade age bracket for their entry "Experiments in Bridge Failures." Other submissions included "Modern Day Rube Goldberg Device" by 7th graders Ethan Dickinson and Steven Hoang, "Dynamic Properties of Chemistry" by 7th graders Trinity Fan and Alicja Haran, "Differentiating Human Pluripotent Kidney Cells into Stem Cells" by 7th grader Chrisvin Jabamani, and "Graffiti Removal" by 7th graders Roshni Dhanasekar and Samritha Palakollu.
On Saturday, March 15, seventh and eighth graders from the Bridgewater-Raritan Middle School competed in the Saint Joseph's Middle School Science Bowl at Saint Joseph's High School in Metuchen. The students earned the highest honors in every aspect of the competition. Out of 175 students, 8th grader Jerry Kong earned the highest score on the written exam portion of the competition, resulting in a first place plaque as well as a $100 award. Additionally, the school's buzzer-competition team of Jerry Kong, Stephanie Hu, Anne He, Terry Su, and Maya Shankar won the team competition, placing first out of 14 participating schools.
The rest of the Bridgewater-Raritan team included 7th graders Sunny Cheng, Roshni Dhanasekar, Samritha Palakollu, Harshita Ramakrishnan, Aakash Rangan, Sandya Subramanian, Ethan Weinstock, and Austin Yu as well as 8th graders Gabriela Buniowska, Jeffrey Chai, Arun Raja, and Janathan Zhao.

St. Charles Catholic has many strengths.
The Comets showed many of them off Friday.
St. Charles moved its record to 8-1 with a 10-2 win over Lutcher in the Fatty's Invitational at Riverside's Fernandez Field.
Mason Bordelon (3-0) threw a season-high eight strikeouts in seven innings.
"My fastball was working well," said Bordelon, who put on 15 pounds of muscle in the offseason. "I was having trouble getting my changeup in the strike zone, but everything worked well. My defense played good behind me."
Wayne Stein, a first-year head coach after being an assistant coach for 11 seasons, said St. Charles came out flat but battled. Former head coach Paul Waguespack is now Stein's pitching coach.
"We're a real team right now," Stein said. "Every guy has each other's back. That goes a long way."
Lutcher (4-6) is the defending Class 4A state title champion but seven seniors are gone, including spectacular pitchers Jared Poche and Corey Merrill. Poche and Merrill are already in the starting rotations at LSU and Tulane, respectively.
"I think I have about five No. 3 pitchers right now," Lutcher Coach Davey Clement said. "It's frustrating going through these growing pains, but hopefully if we stick with the program, we'll be better. We had one of the best teams in the country last year, but we still have potential."
Despite the outcome, St. Charles was forced to play from behind Friday. Peyton Bourgeois had a two-run home run in the first inning for the Bulldogs, who fell to Terrebone 6-1 on the tournament's opening day Thursday.
The Comets came back in a hurry. They scored four runs in the bottom of the first and added five more runs in the fifth. Connor Western's double made it 3-2 in the first. Leadoff hitter Kameron Keller also scored on a passed ball.
"Everybody thought we wouldn't be that good because we're a small team," Bordelon said. "We don't have big home run hitters, but we're doing good playing small ball. We're getting a lot of base hits."
The fifth inning particularly showed Lutcher's struggles on the mound. The Bulldogs used three pitchers in the inning, and they combined to hit six batters. Lutcher hit eight batters in the game.
The three-day Riverside tournament continues Saturday. Springfield meets Terrebone at 11 a.m. Terrebone meets St. Charles Catholic at 1:15 p.m. and St. Charles meets Springfield at 3:30 p.m. to close out the day.
On Sunday, Riverside plays Springfield and Lutcher at 11 a.m. and 1:15 p.m., respectively.
St. Charles will pitch BJ Waguespack against Terrebone and lefty Connor Smith against Springfield.
"We really have a combo of No. 1 (pitchers)," Stein said. "We have three pitchers who are seniors. Connor Smith probably has the most experience."

timming belt
5 Answers
they recommend at 60'000 but you will be good to 90'000
probally not but your the one risking an blown up engine, its best to change it, but its your gamble
I wouldn't go more than 70,000 miles without changing it. Timing belts stretch over time and if they jump a tooth your lookin at a blown motor. It's may seem like a major job to change it, but its a lot cheaper to be safe and do it than to wait and risk major engine damage
you should make and exact date or year on when to change the timing belt and have other aspects of the car checked.if warranty is still available, use it and it's free.. thats called preventive maintenance...
We just replaced the timing belt on my wife's Tucson and it had almost exactly 90,000 miles. It cost $620 with the water pump, pulleys and seals.

Macculloch Hall Historical Museum is celebrating the 350th anniversary of New Jersey with book signings by authors whose work explores aspects of the state's history.
On Sunday, March 23, they welcome Jude M. Pfisterwho who will be available to sign and sell books to museum visitors during touring hours 1-4 p.m. He is the author of many publications and will bring and discuss "The Jacob Ford Jr. Mansion", awarded The Eastern National Board of Directors Author's Award, and "The Fords of New Jersey". Visitors may also wish to visit the second floor gallery exhibit "Made in New Jersey: A Celebration of Decorative and Fine Arts" which stars the Museum's collection of New Jersey stoneware, silver, and artists such as Thomas Nast, A.B. Frost and Edward Kranich.
Pfister's books highlight an important New Jersey family and their home. In "The Jacob Ford Jr. Mansion" he discusses how in 1772, the Ford family began building what would easily become the largest home in Morristown. Years later, it became the site of the first national historical park in the United States. Today, the mansion is best known as George Washington's headquarters, when it became a strategic site during a winter encampment and gained importance for its role in the American Revolution. Mr. Pfister continues the story in "The Fords of New Jersey". While experiencing triumph and defeat during some of the most complex times in American history, the Ford family rose to prominence in colonial America through their devotion to principle and a commitment to family, and left an indelible mark on their community. In the nineteenth century, the Fords adapted to the shifting economic and cultural landscape with grace and ingenuity. Their stately home is now a monument to the remarkable times in which they lived. Their story reflects the larger story of Morris County, New Jersey and America.
Pfister has been Chief of Cultural Resources at the Morristown National Historical Park since 2004 and has been with the National Park Service in the field of historic preservation and cultural resource conservation since 1993. Dr. Pfister oversees the museum, archival, and library programs at Morristown. His professional interests include American constitutional development; the development of American historiography as a separate discipline; historic preservation and the communication of cultural patrimony to the general public; and understanding the broad scope of historic preservation through the interconnectedness of cultural resources. He earned his BA from Delaware State University, his MA from Washington College, and his doctorate (D.Litt.) from Drew University.
Book signings with other New Jersey authors will continue throughout the spring, please visit maccullochhall.org for dates. Admission includes meeting with authors, house tours, and gallery visits between 1-4 pm.
In addition to book signings the Museum is also presenting a speaker series to celebrate the 350th anniversary taking place at 4:30 pm on the second Sunday of each month through June. Tickets for Sunday programs go on sale from 1pm on the day of the program, no advance sales. House tours (regular admission applies) take place throughout the afternoon, the last tour ticket is sold at 3pm. Visitors can also enjoy the upstairs gallery exhibit "Thomas Nast Brings Down Boss Tweed," featuring the political cartoons Thomas Nast created attacking Boss Tweed and Tammany Hall, prior to the speaker programs. Also on display, "Controversies" presents challenging subject matter on New Jersey history topics and events which had national significance: medical experimentation, immigration, and the right to die. A second series of programs, related to the "Controversies" exhibit takes place on the first Sunday of each month through June. Visit maccullochhall.org for more details.
Rescheduled for March 23rd - Spring Speaker Series in conjunction with the exhibit "Controversies"
Judge Kenneth C. MacKenzie (retired) - The Antoine Le Blanc Case
The exhibit "Controversies: The More Things Change..." presents challenging subject matter that inspires people to consider, or reconsider, the ways in which they think about important and frequently debated issues: medical experimentation, immigration, and the right to die. This spring Macculloch Hall Historical Museum is presenting a speaker series in conjunction with the exhibit, taking place on the first Sunday of each month through June. The exhibit explores local history events which had national significance: the Antoine LeBlanc murder trial and public execution; the immigration issues of the late nineteenth century as depicted by political cartoonist Thomas Nast, a Morristown resident, and the 1976 Karen Ann Quinlan "right to die" case.
On Sunday March 23, (rescheduled from March 2) Judge Kenneth C. MacKenzie (retired) will begin the "Controversies" exhibit speaker series with a presentation on the capital punishment case featured in the exhibit. In April 1833, Antoine LeBlanc was found guilty of perhaps the most infamous crime of the 19th century, a gruesome triple murder in the home of his employer in Morristown. He ransacked the Sayre household, dressed himself in Mr. Sayre's clothing, stole a horse and rode away with the Sayres' valuable personal possessions. He quickly was caught and held in the Morris County Jail until his trial. After an eight day trial and brief jury deliberation he was convicted and sentenced to death. He was hanged in front of crowd of more than 10,000, the last public execution in Morris County. What happened to his corpse is appalling. Judge MacKenzie will discuss this gruesome case and consider how many of the issues which arose in 1833 are pertinent today including capital punishment, public execution, pre-trial publicity, use of circumstantial evidence to convict, the speedy trial, and disposition of the body.
Following the presentation visitors can view the exhibit, including Le Blanc's the death mask, and consider the issues raised. Where most exhibits typically provide detailed information about the objects on view, "Controversies" offers limited information about the objects, essentially forcing personal thought, and inspiring discussion, about the areas represented. Curator's books of information drawn from primary sources within the exhibit include news articles, contemporary commentary, and images. Visitors are encouraged to interact and leave comments about the themes presented. "Controversies" is on view during Museum touring hours through June 2014. Please note the subject matter may not be suitable for all audiences. Visitor discretion advised. For more information about the speakers in the "Controversies" series who present on the first Sunday of the month through June visit maccullochhall.org. Information on a second series of programs, celebrating the 350th New Jersey Anniversary which take place on the second Sunday of the month through June is also available on the website.
Tickets for Sunday programs go on sale from 1 pm on the day of the program, no advance sales, and remain on sale until the presentation begins at 4:30 pm. The upstairs gallery exhibits "Thomas Nast Brings Down Boss Tweed," and "Made in New Jersey: A Celebration of Decorative and Fine Arts"will remain open until 4:30pm, with the "Controversies" exhibit closing at 3:30 pm in preparation for the program. Tickets to hear speakers are Adults $8; Seniors & Students $6; Children 6 - 12 $4. Members and children under 5 admitted free. Speaker tickets include admission to a docent-led period room tour for visitors who sign up during the afternoon. The last tour ticket is sold at 3pm.

But they would break. I wear them everyday all year. {Yes sometimes on rainy day}
So I'm sure they are going to wear out, but the normal wear and tear on a pair should last longer than say 2 weeks right?
Let me tell you of a little secret I've learned -- Sunglasses at the Dollar Tree last a lot longer than the name brand counterparts.
I don't know why. Maybe it's frugal karma. I shouldn't have bought the $20 to $50 pair that broke within 10 days, I should have bought the $1 pair that will last for months and months.
So far I've had good luck with this pair of sunglasses I scored at a Dollar Tree.
They've lasted for almost 5 months now. That's pretty good!
The Dollar Tree also has kids sunglasses and we all know kids are going to tear up the $8 to $10 pair you bought with their favorite character.
The sunglasses are usually at the front of the store in a bin. I love the bright colors too. I snagged a red pair just for fun.
Tips for buying sunglasses --
1. If they pinch your nose or squeeze your head behind the ears in the store, they'll do it when you get home. Don't buy a pair thinking they'll stretch.
2. Sunglasses without frames tend to break easily. The screws seem to loosen over time. Something a minor adjustment could fix, but if you don't pay attention it will fall out and you want be able to find it.
3. Walmart is the most overpriced place to buy sunglasses. If you want a name brand go to Marshall's or TJ Maxx and look for a designer pair. I've even spotted Oakley sunglasses cheaper than the Panama Jack brand Walmart carries. Yes that was a rare find.
So tell me your frugal fashion secret?

Yellow jackets can be very aggressive, especially in areas with lots of human traffic. If threatened, they'll call out the reserves. So control if necessary. (If they aren't bothering you, you can let them be.)
Most yellow jackets are yellow and black, but some are white and black. All but the queen live only one season and begin disappearing in October and November. Depending on the species, paperlike nests are built in mouse burrows or other holes in the ground, between the walls of a house, in trees, in shrubs or under eaves. They're only used one season and quickly disintegrate when winter arrives.
The pregnant queen overwinters under loose bark, firewood or in stumps, emerging in spring to build a new nest, lay eggs and start the cycle again.
Luckily, yellow jackets are not difficult to trap because of their ravenous attraction to food, especially fish and rotting fruit.
Betty Shelton of Gresham wrote a few years ago about a trap she makes herself. Here's how she does it:
1. Take a plastic jar (Shelton uses a roasted-peanut jar) and punch a hole on each side near the top.
2. Thread a piece of wire through the two holes.
3. Put 2 to 2 1/2 inches of water in the bottom of the jar and top with a film of cooking oil or liquid dish soap.
4. Thread a piece of fish skin with a bit of meat still on it onto the wire.
The yellow jackets try to grab too much of the fish, fall into the water and drown.
Shelton says to be sure to empty the trap as soon as the surface of the water is covered or the bees will fall on the bodies of their dead compatriots and be able to fly away.
She changes the fish when it starts to smell and hangs the trap about 20 feet from the patio.
Not a bad way to catch those party crashers.

Good site
I'm disabled, I do GPT and PTC sites day in and day out. GAC is one of the few sites where the admin actually contacts you to do simple things to get MORE money out of your tasks.
I'm not sure where the problems lay with it's bad report here. I am a free member, without upgrades or any sort of payment incentive except what I do to earn money at the site on my own. I have no referrals. I'm quite thrilled to reach payout nearly monthly, by simple paid to click ads and watching the Virool videos. The admin has never failed to pay me on time, goes out of his way to help me (as all members since the messages are sent to everyone) make as much as I can, even to the point of reminding us to convert our points to cash. So I don't get it. I can say that some of the companies that use the site as a means of getting new sign ups can be picky but that has nothing to do with GAC but is a third party refusing to give credit.
For awhile I was watching Virool videos and not getting paid for some. It was after some offsite investigating that I figured out, people are paying Virool for a specific number of viewers. So when the limit is reached even though you may have clicked the video, the company doesn't pay for the click. Or if a "download" game or product task doesn't see that you've signed up for all the malware infected sites they had attached to it, they aren't getting paid, thus they refuse to pay for the download...again, a third party, NOT GAC. I'm all for tossing out the bad guys, but I think better investigating should be done before someone can come in here and just say "boohoo I don't like them" and suddenly it's gospel. i'm just a nameless face in the crowd doing my thing, I have nothing to gain by being "here" except that if enough negativity shuts down the good sites that are paying then we all suffer.

Sahara Gipson captured first place on vault (9.575), beam (9.5), and floor (9.525) en route to a season-high 37.8 and the all-around title, while leading Ramapo, No. 3 in The Star-Ledger Top 20, to 112.625 points and its second consecutive team title at the Bergen County championships Friday night in Ridgewood.
"I wasn't expecting to win the all-around at all. It was only the third time all season I even attempted beam," Gipson, who finished fourth (36.2) at North 1 sectionals last fall, said. "I was in shock. I just focused on each event one at a time, but I started on vault, my favorite event. The start pushed me through the rest of the meet."
Gipson, a junior who placed 27th overall at the 2011 state final, edged teammate and two-time and defending all-around titlist Kayla Yosif (37.175, second) for the individual crown, but the two took satisfaction in setting a new season-high 112.625 -- the third-highest team score in the state this season. Prior to last season, Ramapo's previous Bergen County title came in 1988.
"Sahara has consistently gotten better throughout the season," Ramapo coach Jenn Levirne said. "Her strong will and positive attitude reflected her win at counties. I'm very proud of her and excited for sectionals and states."
Scotch Plains-Fanwood, behind Alex Peluso, Maddie McNichol, and Kacie Bumiller, recorded a season-high 107.5 to finish runner-up to Westfield at the Union County Championships on Friday night in Westfield. The performance helped Scotch Plains to its best finish since placing second in 2009.
Peluso took fourth all-around (36.3), McNichol sixth (35.1), and Bumiller delivered a clutch first-place 9.575 vault for Scotch Plains, whose one and only county title came in 2003. As a result, it jumps up from No. 17 to No. 12 in The Star-Ledger Top 20.
"We rose to the occasion," Lisa Cerchio, in her ninth season as coach, said. "It was amazing to watch Kacie hit her half double back on vault and Alex compete her giants on bars. The team rallied on beam with four solid routines without any falls."
Abby Spector, Jamie Bush, Megan Phelan, Melissa Gara and Zoe-Nicole Stein (sixth-place 9.25 vault) also contributed for Scotch Plains, which improved upon its previous best of 106.15.
"Sure there is a lot of room to improve, but I am so proud of the way our gymnasts competed," Cerchio said, "but I was most proud of the team spirit and unity the entire team displayed Friday night."
County and conference tournaments continue to roll on as West Milford is set to host the 23rd annual Passaic County Championships Monday at 5 p.m.
Kristina Langan (36.175) and her Wayne Hills (105.2) teammates will be looking to maintain their titles after pulling a sweep last season. Langan became the first freshman at Wayne Hills since Crescent Danziger in 1999 to capture the all-around crown.
Wednesday, South Jersey's Olympic Conference Championships are set for 5 p.m. at Cherokee.
Thursday offers a full slate of action beginning with the Greater Middlesex Conference Novice tournament which kicks off at 5:30 p.m. at Bishop Ahr in Edison. The Northern New Jersey Interscholastic League B Division Finals begin at 5:30 p.m. at Wayne Hills.
On Friday, Ramapo will look to maintain its momentum at the NNJIGL A Division Finals with opening ceremonies to commence at 5:30 at Ridgewood. The Franklin Lakes school hit 109.325 to win last fall.
On Saturday, Jackson Liberty will host the Shore Conference Championships with march-in set for 12:30 p.m. Defending NJSIAA champion Freehold Borough posted 112.425 to triumph in 2011.
Highlight regular season dual-meet action includes No. 12 Scotch Plains at No. 5 Bishop Ahr, 4; Watchung Hills at No. 9 Hillsborough, 4:30; No. 14 Hunterdon Central at North Hunterdon, 4:30; No. 18 Old Bridge at Montgomery, 4:30; and Somerville at No. 2 Bridgewater, 5:30, Tuesday.

MARSHALL - Angie Pankratz doesn't look like the typical beginning piano student, but she was, nonetheless, one of eight who took part in a piano recital Saturday afternoon at Prairie Home Hospice in Marshall.
Saturday not only marked her first piano recital, but it also served as a birthday party for 87-year-old Pankratz.
"It's wonderful," Pankratz said. "I think it's really great when the kids get together like this and see others doing it, too. It means a lot."

Piano recital students include, front row, left to right: Lincoln Mellenthin, Claire Boersma, Bailee Deutz, Timmy Boersma. Back row, left to right: Piper Mellenthin, Gracie Herigon, Amelia Clarin, Angie Pankratz and piano instructor Nancy Long.
Learning to play the piano had been on Pankratz' bucket list for decades. About four months ago, she made the decision to begin taking piano lessons from Nancy Long.
"It was something I wanted to do all my life," Pankratz said. "So I finally got around to it when I was 87 years old. But it's never too late. I'm glad I did."
Pankratz said she appreciated that Long agreed to teach piano to her.
"Nancy is a wonderful teacher," Pankratz said. "If there are any kids who want to learn how to play piano and learn what it's all about, she is really, really good."
Long, who has taught piano lessons for 43 years, said she thoroughly enjoys what she does.
"I've taught three generations of students before," she said. "I grew up loving music and remember going to college and majoring in English. Everyone kept saying I couldn't be a band director because I was a woman. Well, time went on and that changed. I found out, yes, I could."
The best part, Long said, is teaching people to enjoy music.
"I enjoy it," she said. "I love helping kids who don't know how to play learn how to play songs."
Long admitted that Pankratz was the oldest student she had ever taught before, but that she had approached the situation as if she were like any other beginner.
"I started Angie with the beginner books, just like I do normally," Long said. "The process depends on the person, even with children, because each person is so different."
Long used current piano students, Claire and Timmy Boersma, as a case in point.
"The brother and sister I'm teaching right now are so different from each other and teaching them is entirely different," Long said.
Progress also differs, Long said, depending on how much a student practices and whether or not the person has natural instincts or not.
"Some love it and some fight it," she said. "Some just have natural instincts, like the little girl (Gracie Herigon) who played piano with her grandma (Nancy Vierstraete). She's only had about two months of lessons. She just has so much natural ability. She's obviously been surrounded by music."
While she has enjoyed learning something new, the process has taken patience, Pankratz said, because her memory isn't as sharp as it once was.
"The hardest part is the memory and retention, the holding everything that you learn," Pankratz said.
Long is proud of Pankratz for trying something new, especially at her age. Teaching piano to elderly students has been something Long has wanted to do for some time.
"Angie is the oldest student I've ever had," Long said. "But I used to work at the nursing home and it's something I've wanted to do. I've always wanted to teach someone who has never had the opportunity but has wanted to learn. So I think it's great. I've taught adults before, but not at that age."
Long pointed out that most elderly people she has encountered believe they are too old to try learning something new, but she tries to encourage it.
"They think they can't learn, but that's not true," Long said. "It's the best way to keep your mind active. Learning something totally new is the best way."
Long also feels that playing piano is the best physical therapy around for those suffering from arthritis.
"I have a lot of arthritis, but I think playing the piano is what keeps me going," Long said. "I think playing helps me a lot. I'm able to play in the city band and also in the community band at the college. I like to play."
While Pankratz is learning to play the piano herself, she said she also appreciates the abilities of others.
"I don't have a favorite song of my own yet," she said. "All music is a favorite. Nancy usually plays for me after we have our lesson. She'll play for half an hour or so and it's just wonderful sitting and listening to her play."
At the conclusion of the recital Saturday, Long tickled the ivories with one final song - "Happy Birthday" - and when everyone was finished wishing Pankratz a happy birthday, they enjoyed cake and ice cream in her honor.
When asked what she had planned for the future, Pankratz said: "I think I'll continue with the lessons."

"When we got there, it was like 'Whoa,'" Tidland said. "My ball kept hitting a wall and falling to the right."
The "wall" on Friday was a brutal, punishing wind that gusted up to 30 miles per hour and brushed back scores in the second round of the Turning Stone Resort Championship.
Alex Cejka, playing in the morning session, managed his game and the conditions better than anybody else on top of the leaderboard did. His second-round score of 4-under-par 68 put Cejka at 10-under 134 and furnished him with a one-shot lead going into the weekend.
Chris Tidland and first round co-leader Rory Sabbatini are tied for second at 9-under, followed by a logjam at 7-under that includes Robert Garrigus, Steve Elkington, Woody Austin, John Mallinger, Brian Davis and Thursday's first-round co-leader Omar Uresti.
Pittsford amateur Gavin Hall, 15, shot 1-under 71 Friday, but his two-day total of 5-over 149 missed the cut, which came at 2-under.
"I didn't play as good today as I did yesterday," Cejka said. "Obviously, it was a little bit easier yesterday -- no wind. Today, the 30-mile-an-hour gusts, it was tricky. But I hung in there. … I'm very pleased to be in this position."
The wind, whistling through the golf course as it stiffened flags and billowed golf shirts, gusted between 20 and 30 miles per hour on Friday. The brawny breeze made club selection more challenging and made navigating the golf course more treacherous. Water hazards that seemed a simple segment of the Atunyote scenery on Thursday turned potentially menacing a day later.
On Thursday, benign conditions led to a 70.96 scoring average. On Friday, the wind pushed that average to 71.90. Friday's average score was still under par, but nearly a stroke higher than it was a day earlier.
Cejka, playing in the morning group when the wind had yet to fully bellow, posted his 4-under-par 68 by noon and then watched and waited the rest of the day.
Nobody managed to make a serious charge.
Blame it on the increasingly hearty wind, which seemed to affect afternoon scores (72.03) a bit more than it did morning scores (71.77). The bulk of the best scores of the day – the 66 turned in by Brenden Pappas and the 67s registered by Dean Wilson and Josh Teater – occurred during the morning.
Mallinger played in the afternoon and needed to step away and re-mark his putt twice on the 9th green (his final hole) because the wind kept propelling it forward.
"It felt like every hole was into the wind," Mallinger said. "It was pretty tough. Probably one of the toughest of the year. It was just kind of a patience day. You just kind of had to grind it out."
"There were times that you could be aggressive," Tidland said, "but yeah, you definitely had to pick your spots. And with the wind blowing this hard … you don't want to be downwind, downhill and so there was more thinking about that. But we are pretty used to playing in elements so you kind of say, 'OK, I'm just going to try to keep it left of the hole because I know right is going to be really tough."
Cejka, who started the day one shot off the lead, has owned the lead after the second round three times on the PGA Tour, the last time earlier this season at the AT&T Pebble Beach. He finished tied for tenth in that tournament.
Cejka, 39, is a native of what is now the Czech Republic who fled Communist rule with his father at age 9 and eventually settled in Frankfort, Germany. He qualified for the PGA Tour through Q-School in 2002. This year, he's 95th on the money list, having cashed $723,853 worth of paychecks.
Tidland, who mixed seven birdies with four bogeys on Friday, finished sixth on the Nationwide Tour money list last season to graduate to the PGA Tour. He arrived here this week armed with new Ping s56 irons and the hope that he would emerge from his recent playing doldrums.
Tidland, 37, said his fondness for the practice facilities at Atunyote prompted him to make the trip here Sunday, when he started tinkering with his game. His recent resume included five missed cuts and a withdrawal.
"I've hit it very nice this week," said Tidland, whose 36-hole score of 135 matched his best on Tour. "I hit a lot of nice shots in some pretty tough crosswinds and I felt very good about it."
Sabbatini felt good about his 2-under 70, considering the conditions and the way he finished Friday. Playing in the afternoon, he birdied 16 and 18 to close to within a shot of the lead. He lofted a shot from a greenside bunker to within 2 feet on 18 and sank that putt to insert himself back in the Friday conversation.
Sabbatini joked that the reason he made birdie on those holes was because "they were downwind."
"Things are going good. I'm still hitting the ball well," he said. "Obviously, the wind made it a lot tougher to get closer to the hole and give yourself a lot more feasible birdie opportunities. But I'm still there, close for the weekend."
The good thing, for the players, was that weather forecasters predict the wind to diminish by Saturday. Eighteen players sit within five shots of the lead with two days left to play.
"Two rounds to go, a lot of things can happen," Cejka said. "But I'm playing well. We'll see what happens. If I keep playing like the last two days, I'll be very pleased."

Good start for OSU as Lyle Moevao throw a perfect 11-yard touchdown pass to Shane Morales with 10:19 to give the Beavers a 7-0 lead. Gutsy call by Mike Riley as OSU had fourth and 1 at ASU's 21, and he went for it. It paid off as Jacquizz Rodgers seemingly was stopped behind the line of scrimmage, but he bounced left and sliced forn 11-yard gain.
The score was set up by a 21-yard punt return by Sammie Stroughter. ASU had the initial possession but went three and out.
Tavita Thompson, making his much-discussed return from a long suspension, started at right tackle for OSU. Some rain here, and players are having problems keeping their footing and holding onto the ball.
-- ASU got on the board as Thomas Weber kicked a 27-yard field goal with 27 seconds left and the Sun Devils closed to 7-3. Arizona State moved the ball well, with an 18-play, 66-yard drive that at up 9:43. ASU had first and 10 at OSU's 12, but got pushed back by a holding penalty, then Victor Butler sacked Rudy Carpenter for a eight yard loss.
The Sun Devils took their own gamble with a fourth and one at OSU's 42. Carpenter kept and made the first down, then got in linebacker Keaton Kristick's face.
Matt Moore, on a break from the Carolina Panthers, was just introduced.
End of quarter.

Do some sporadic calorie tracking and see what the numbers tell you. If you are taking the low carb approach you may want to cut on some fruits accordingly.
I had no idea there were so many carbs in a banana!
Compare fruit options and choose the ones that help you achieve your calorific goal & satisfy your hunger.
Experiment, rinse and repeat. N=1, sound familiar?

The Devils have been playing well lately, stringing together a 2-0-1 record in their last three games.
But is that a good thing? With the playoffs a virtual lost cause, the Devils might just be playing for the top overall pick in the entry draft.
The NHL's worst team has the best chance of winning the draft lottery and acquiring the No. 1 pick. Right now, the Devils are in last place with 27 points, eight fewer than the New York Islanders and Edmonton Oilers.
NJ.com Devils fans have given up on the playoffs this season but aren't entirely sold on rooting for losses to better a draft position.
NJ.com user BringBackDaneyko wrote:
Sure, the Devils could tank it the rest of the season and shoot for a higher pick.
Problem with that is, you can't just expect this team to just "turn it back on" again starting next year. If the rookies are going to get their time this year (and they should) it should be in a successful manner. If they learn bad habbits and bad culture this year, they are going to bring that kind of play with them into next year.
This team always strived on hard work and discipline. We were never overly talented. We always had players who overacheived because they bought into the system and supported each other. It is a culture. Culture takes a long time to develop. If we are going to be a good team again next year, it starts now.
There are a lot of things I don't like about how Lemaire handles things. But one thing I have always liked is that he demands that his players play disciplined and give their all. If your careless or coasting you sit. Outside of his love affair with Rolston, he has stayed true to this.
I could give a crap less whether we get the first overall pick. I just want to see this team play hard and show some heart. EVERY GAME! I want to see them at worst play the rest of the season at .500 or above. Otherwise we are just training our rookies on how to lose.

Technical Notes
Boekenhout is an indigenous Cape Beech tree greatly prized for making fine furniture. Our Boekenhoutskloof label features seven chairs; amongst them the country-style split splat chair made in the neo-classical style with a shouldered top rail and thonged seat from the late 18th century. Then there's the Sandveld chair that has two back rails and a thonged seat which made its appearance in the second quarter of the 19th century. The transitional Tulbagh chair was made in the late 18th century, it has a plain back and a shaped top rail with half-round opening. The chairs on our wine label all pay tribute to the skills of the 18th century craftsmen and their achievements in creating beauty from natural sources, just like the pursuit of fine wine-making.

At the NHL Awards in Las Vegas on Tuesday, three Bruins are in the running for end-of-year recognitions (only the Lightning and Avalanche have more players nominated, with four apiece). Here's a look at how the Boston players nominated for awards – Tuukka Rask, Patrice Bergeron and Zdeno Chara – might fare.
Tuukka Rask, Vezina Trophy (league's best goalie)
Other nominees: Semyon Varlamov (Colorado Avalanche), Ben Bishop (Tampa Bay Lightning)
Why he'll win: Rask was outstanding this year, leading all starters who played a full season with a .930 save percentage. He was also well out in front in even-strength save percentage, a more reliable indicator of a goalie's talent, with a .944 mark. Varlamov and Bishop finished third and fourth in the league in even-strength save percentage, at .933 and .932, trailing Rask and Montreal's Carey Price.
In addition, the Bruins' netminder led the league in shutouts, with seven, to Bishop's five and Varlamov's two. Goals-against average is more a reflection of a team's play than of a goalie's, but Rask's won't hurt him in voters' eyes, as he also led all starters there, with a 2.04 mark. He should be the frontrunner for the Vezina, which would be his first. He finished fifth in the voting last season, when he posted a .929 save percentage in the lockout-shortened year.
Why he won't: One case that's been brought up against Rask is that by playing behind such a defensively sound team - one with both a Selke and a Norris nominee - he didn't face as many difficult shots as other goalies did. Evaluating shot quality is tricky, but while the Bruins were better at limiting offensive chances than the Avalanche and Lightning, that shouldn't diminish an excellent season by their goalie.
There may be some who cite Varlamov's league-leading 41 wins as a mark in his favor, but one need only look at the goalie with the second-most wins – the Penguins' Marc-Andre Fleury, who finished with a middling .915 save percentage – to get a sense of how little that stat tells you about a goalie's performance.
Patrice Bergeron, Selke Trophy (forward who most excels in the defensive aspect of the game)
Other nominees: Anze Kopitar (Los Angeles Kings), Jonathan Toews (Chicago Blackhawks)
Why he'll win: Bergeron had one of the best seasons of his career, reaching the 30-goal mark for the second time, without sacrificing his defensive play. He was the best possession player in the league, with a 61.2 percent mark - which is to say, when Bergeron was on the ice, the Bruins took 61.2 percent of all shot attempts, despite the fact that Bergeron started more of his shifts in the defensive zone than the offensive zone.
Bergeron also ranked third in the league in faceoff percentage, winning 58.6 percent of the time, and the two players ahead of him – the Blues' Vladimir Sobotka and the Hurricanes' Manny Malhotra – each took fewer than 1,000 draws, while Bergeron took 1,732. The fact that his name was tossed about, in some seriousness, as a Hart Trophy nominee as the league MVP should say something about his value. He won the Selke in 2012.
Why he won't: As excellent as Bergeron was, Kopitar was just about as good at driving possession, at 61 percent, and Toews wasn't far behind at all, at 59.3 percent. This is a field of three deserving players, whose numbers are similar both on offense (30 goals and 32 assists for 62 points for Bergeron, 29-41-70 for Kopitar, 28-40-68 for Toews) and on defense. Toews was also the league's fifth-best faceoff man, at 57.2 percent.
It's also true that Toews and Kopitar both faced tougher competition than Bergeron all year, partly by virtue of playing in the West, which was better than the East this year. In fact, Toews faced the best competition of any player in the league (the only Bruin to rank in the top 50 in that regard was Chara). All three centers were crucial parts of the league's best teams, and it's easy to argue for any of them.
Zdeno Chara, Norris Trophy (league's best defenseman)
Other nominees: Duncan Keith (Chicago Blackhawks), Shea Weber (Nashville Predators)
Why he'll win: It all depends on what your idea of "the league's best defenseman" looks like. Of the three nominees, Chara regularly faced the toughest competition throughout the season. Chicago actually used Niklas Hjalmarsson and Jonny Oduya, not Keith and his partner Brent Seabrook, against top lines, so Keith wasn't called upon as a shutdown defenseman the way Chara and Weber were.
Chara began just 48.3 percent of his shifts in the offensive zone but still had the best relative possession mark of the three nominees, meaning that he made a positive difference in the Bruins' shot differential despite starting his shifts far from opposing goalies. With fewer offensive opportunities, Chara didn't light up the scoreboard the way Keith and Weber did, but he excelled in the role he was asked to play.
Why he won't: Rightly or not, racking up points is a good way to get on the inside track to the Norris, and Weber led all defensemen in goals with 23, while Keith led in assists (55) and ranked second only to Erik Karlsson in points, with 61. Chara finished 24th in points, with 17 goals and 23 assists for 40.
All three defensemen led their teams in time on ice, but the Predators leaned on Weber hardest, as he averaged 26:54 per game, ranking fourth in the league. Chara's average TOI was 24:39, possibly reflecting the fact that Weber is 28 and Chara is 37.
In the end, the fact that the lesser-known stats are the ones that make the best case for Chara probably doesn't bode well for his chances, but when it came to matching up against opponents' best players and limiting their scoring chances, he was indeed the best of the three.
