Mine too IP.
I also cannot bear the viciousness against Chan that we see all the time.
Anyway time will tell who will be the best one of them all this year. Certainly an interesting season to be sure for both Chan fans and Chan haterz.

As for this year, I agree that it's a bit early to tell. My hopes continue to lie with Daisuke, but at this point in the year, a goodly number of the men could turn out to be splendid. I'm really pleased to think of Oda on the list of promising skaters going forward. One more person I'd love to see on the list, and that's Jeremy...I can dream, can't I? When he's on (in Grand Prix and/or Nationals), he's heartbreakingly superb--artistry and quad capabilities! But he never seems to pull it together at worlds. I've almost given up having wishes about the fate of American male skaters.
Chan lost a lot of points on TES, but his PCS score remained relatively high to his TES (14.35 point gap). He would have actually won if he did not zayak the last combination, i.e. just did the 2A instead.
I have no skin in the game for either, but it makes sense to me why Hanyu's meltdown did not get the same outrage from fans.
ETA: Of course in the Hanyu scenario it did help that Kozuka had an amazing skate and Machida kept it pretty clean aside from the fall on the quad.

By not accurate but fast checking:
Japan Open 2011:
Patrick Chan 159.93
Artur Gachinski 152.71
Takahiko Kozuka 148.21
Jeffrey Buttle 138.33
Florent Amodio 138.25
Daisuke Takahashi 130.79
Japan Open 2012:
Daisuke Takahashi 172.06
Takahiko Kozuka 165.08
Jeffrey Buttle 160.86
Evgeni Plushenko 156.21
Michal Brezina 151.53
Patrick Chan 137.42
Patrick's last year's three fall but otherwise clean program will be at around fourth place in this year's Japan Open. So your assertion was not correct.
By more accurate checking:
Last year:
Chan BV=76.27, PCS=84.06
Gachinski BV=76.12, PCS=74.78
Kozuka BV=72.12, PCS=73.88
Buttle BV=52.50, PCS=79.14
Amodio BV=64, PCS=72.16
Takahashi BV=56.33, PCS=78.64
Despite Patrick's three falls, he had the highest BV among all 6 skaters. He executed his program very well besides the falls. I will stand by my opinion which I've said before. Patrick has won 2011 Japan Open with three falls, simply because others were worse than him at that competition. This year everyone was up graded the game. Patrick won't win with that many falls even if he just made three fall mistakes but otherwise clean.

Patrick wasn't the best at 2011 Japan Open, that's the problem.
Patrick also had other issues other than just falls at 2011 Japan Open. So, once again, if Patrick Chan rotated all of his planned content and fell 3 times, he still would have beaten Takahashi at Japan Open this year. Which is not how it should be.
But Hanyu also lost to Machida in both TES and PCS as well, whose program was more equal to Verner's at CoR. And I agree with that. Machida's version of the Firebird was pretty awesome.
I suppose yes if both Kozuka and Machida skated like Verner did Hanyu would have won because of his short program lead. But Hanyu skated a flawless SP; Patrick didn't.
As I said, I don't really care to win this argument, but simply just logically explain why I think there is less outrage. So I'll leave my comments on this at that.
ETA: I realize that we ought to add apples to apples with the SP. So let's take out the BV from the new 1.1 rule. So Hanyu's base value w/o the bonus is 41.50, higher than Patrick's (40.80). So with the +GOE his TES was 49.85 + 43.86 PCS = 93.71. Of course this whole exercise is pointless since you can't compare scores across competitions....

The audience at SA certainly did not object to Hanyu's score, though. That said, I think EVERYONE, including Orser and Hanyu (Orser himself told me he expected a score in the high 80s.) did not expect the judges to give that high of a score.
ETA From the GS article on the Men's SP:
The rules have changed since last season, so I was able to take advantage of the bonus for landing the jumps late in the program, he explained. I am really surprised by the score, but I dont want to think about it too much. Its only the first Grand Prix, and I dont want to get too excited and let my emotions get the best of me.
Hanyus program was chock full of choreographic nuances which he executed with flair and excitement. As a result, the leader was also rewarded with the highest program component scores of the night (51.71/43.36).
I was focused on my technical score, so I was very surprised, said Hanyu. I wasnt really focused on the artistic score, but now that you told me the performance score was high as well, I am very surprised. I have been doing very well in practice, so Im pleased.

The PCS were really too skewed as well, with Patrick receiving huge numbers for that kind uninspired performance. He wasn't 10 points better on PCS than Gachinski.
Actually my husband, being the non fan he is, found that to be the weirdest thing about the scoring system. He went on and on about that on the way home on Monday.

This got me thinking that one of the reasons Kurt is so great and so liked by many fans (in addition to natural talent) is that he had the opportunity to really hone his abilities not just as a pro skater but also as a competitive pro skater. I hope events like the MWO and Scott Hamilton's planned competition will provide such opportunities for more skaters.
Well, that's why I added Richard Dornbush to the list of interesting stories to follow re the top men - his score from Finlandia was so impressive! I haven't seen the performance itself but I'm sure it must have been pretty good to be rewarded like that; maybe he's on his way to a real breakthrough season?As for this year, I agree that it's a bit early to tell. My hopes continue to lie with Daisuke, but at this point in the year, a goodly number of the men could turn out to be splendid. I'm really pleased to think of Oda on the list of promising skaters going forward. One more person I'd love to see on the list, and that's Jeremy...I can dream, can't I?

I've almost given up having wishes about the fate of American male skaters.
I wish we could actually discuss the top men and their prospects without it descending each time to "who is more overscored", which has been done to death. But apparently I am in the minority.
p.s. if we don't punish other serious errors on a jump with a zero score, why should falls be different? They may need to receive a lower score than they do now, but certainly not nothing.
** Tatsuki Machida is looking really strong this year. He was my new favorite coming out of Skate America. It's going to be really tough for him to get on the world team (wah!), but I think he can still establish himself this year. His SP is so awesome (and not surprising as Lambiel choreographed it) and while he doesn't have the speed and power of the Japanese men, I think he will be consistent enough where we might get to enjoy his skating some more this year!
** Dornbush, I agree, will be an interesting story this year. Here's his long from Finlandia: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0QbIO...eature=related
** I would also watch for Ross Miner. I feel like he gets underrated on this board. He's working on a quad, not consistent yet, but Ross has a tendency to peak later in the season...and I think he's hungry to be at Worlds.
** Fernandez, of course, is always interesting to watch and it will be interesting to see how his programs look after his breakout season. Also it will be interesting to see if he can sustain good skating all season long so he can get a Euros medal.
** Meshnov, old or not, looked quite nice at Skate America. His quads were actually quite nice! It would definitely be interesting if he can beat Gachniski (and Plushenko) this year.
** Oda, Oda, Oda! He looked soooo good at Nebelhorn. I missed that guy's skating and I'm glad he's back! I hope he can workout his math problems.

What do you think about the 2005 Ford GT ?
i think the ferrari f430 iz better.
nice, fast, rare, but pricey. the only ferrari that kills it in performance is the Enzo.
the enzo iz nice.
sure is. i'm just not the greatest fan of the styling. i like the F50 better in the styling department.
i like it. i have seen one up close before.

Both the Mustang and Ford GT proves rotton Ford can do something right.Can two great cars save Ford alone when the rest of their lineup is so pathetic.
since when has the top selling vehicle in america (f-150) been so "pathetic"?
and the fusion when compared to impala, monte carlo, malibu, uplander, aveo, see anything interesting?
Edit: sorry, i was talking to the other guy.
Well sometimes cars like the GT act as a magnet to the dealer. Perhaps someone will come in and look at the GT and come home with a Mustang GT. But I doubt that same person will walk out with a Taurus, 500 or Focus.
Great car, better looking than the 360 or the F430. Despite the mechanical fiasco earlier, the GT is a commendable effort and Ford deserves credit where credit is due.

renegadebuck - I'm finally getting around to getting this fitted to a SAR3 and all looks like it is good other than where the mag release is (the pin/rivet holding the mag release). If I remove some material from the mag adapter in the small area to clear this "pin/rivet" - do you think it would cause any problems with everything lining up? I attached a couple of pictures to show what I'm referring to.
On the norinco's I have I just need to remove just a little material in the front of the magwell (not the trunnion but the receiver) for the adapter to line up straight.
All is coming along good otherwise. :)

Eric Blake is currently in his eighth season as the head coach for the men's cross country and track teams. He also is in his seventh season as head coach for the women's cross country and track programs. Blake, a 2002 CCSU graduate, was appointed the head coach of the men's teams in August of 2009 and head coach of the women's programs in August of 2010. Combined, Blake has won eleven Northeast Conference Championships as a head coach (7-XC, 4-Track) and seven Coach of the Year awards (5-XC, 2-Track).
The Blue Devil men's cross country program has won seven-straight Northeast Conference Cross Country Championship every year under Blake's direction. Central has won six-straight NEC titles spanning from 2009-2015. Most recently in 2014, the Blue Devil's recorded a perfect score at the NEC championship as all five-scoring runners finished one through five, setting a NEC record. With the championship, the Blue Devils become the first men's cross country team in league history to win seven straight titles, and only the sixth overall program in league history to win at least six straight titles.
Coach Blake has coached seven different Blue Devils to individual cross country titles/outstanding performer awards in his career. On the men's side Blake has coached the past five individual winners over the six-year stretch of team titles, including the 2014 individual winner Patrick Hubbell. On the women's side he saw an individual winner cross the finish line in 2011 (Alasia Griebel), and then again this season (2014) in Elizabeth Eberhardt. Blake also saw his first athlete win the freshman of the year award this season (2014) in Colin Sauter. Blake has also had two athletes qualify and compete at the NCAA Championship meet (Criag Hunt - 2013; Brittany Mendelson - 2015 - XC).
Over the past seven years as head coach of the men's and women's cross country programs, Blake has seen 43 athletes earn all-conference honors.
Blake has helped the Blue Devil track and field program complete an incredible turn around as well. With Blake at the helm, CCSU captured the program's first outdoor track and field championship in 2014 (Men). He also led the men's indoor track and field team to victory at the 2011 NEC Indoor Track and Field Championship. Blake earned NEC Coach of the Year honors after both titles and the 2011 indoor title completed a worst-to-first turn around over only three seasons from 2009-2011.
Coach Blake has coached two indoor track rookies of the year (Aaron Radden - 2010, Denzell Jones - 2011) and also two indoor track MVP's (Aaron Radden - 2010, 2011) on the men's side. From the women's team, Blake coached the 2013 indoor track outstanding field performer (Ronea Saunders).
"We are pleased that Eric will be overseeing both our men's and women's cross country and track programs," Director of Athletics Paul Schlickmann said. "Eric's work ethic, commitment to, and understanding of Central Athletics is a winning combination. His leadership of our men's programs this past season was exceptional. He embodies the best of what Central Athletics stands for and we are confident he can lead our women's programs to a similar level of success."
A four-year member of the cross country and track teams while at Central, Blake graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in education (mathematics). Prior to attending CCSU, the Lebanon, CT native was the 1996 state open cross country champion.
Blake earned a master's degree from Adams State College, where he was a member of the school's Division II cross country and track teams. Following his graduation from Adams State, Blake was the head coach for the Plattsburgh State men's and women's cross country teams. He also was an assistant coach for the track and field squads. He served as an assistant with the Blue Devils prior to his appointment as head coach in August 2009.
"This is a tremendous opportunity for me and I look forward to working with and developing both our men's and women's programs," Blake said following the announcement. "My first year as a head coach at my alma mater was a very rewarding one. Our men's team worked hard and competed at a high level throughout the cross country and track seasons. I am excited about creating a similar work ethic and championship attitude with our women's program."
Blake is currently a seven-time member of the USATF Mountain Running Team and three time winner at the Mount Washington Road Race, including 2013. In addition to being a 2014 USA Track and Field member, Blake is affiliated with the La Sportiva Mountain Running team. He is also a USATF certified Level 1, 2 and 3 Coach. In 2004, Blake qualified and competed at the Olympic Marathon Trials in Birmingham, Alabama and finished the 26.2 mile race 33rd with a time of 2:22.44.
Blake is also a three-time winner of the Mount Washington Road Race (2006, 2008, 2013) and was inducted into the Mount Washington Road Hall of Fame in 2015. Blake holds the Connecticut and New York state records for the 154-year-old, 7.6-mile, all-uphill race on the Mount Washington Auto Road. He is one of only eight people to complete the race in under sixty minutes, and has run the race in 1:02 more times than any other runner (nine).
Blake resides in West Hartford with his wife, Anne.

Great news—crunchy, flavorful fried chicken can be healthy. We marinate skinless chicken in buttermilk to keep it juicy. A light coating of flour, sesame seeds and spices, misted with olive oil, forms an appealing crust during baking. And with only 7 grams of fat per serving rather than the 20 in typical fried chicken—that is good news.

Reviews of this property
Had a lovely stay in Budapest, mostly thanks to the beautiful apartment we had. It was an old (old in the essence of design, not state) stylish flat located right in the heart of (Buda)Pest, with high ceiling and a fantastic balcony. Two big bathrooms and a modern, clean kitchen (big fridge & freezer). Everything one need is right around the corner plus there is an exchange office just outside the front door. Only thing I would notice is the toilet, there's only one and it's pretty small.. still it made what it's meant to do.
Would definitely stay there again!
Nice apartment, which is very central. There is everything in it that you need for a leisure break. Supermarket around the corner. Michael is very service mind and nice man. Michael Thanks !!!
Fin lägenhet, som ligger mycket centralt. Finns allt i den som man behöver för en semestertripp. Supermarket runt hörnet. Michael är mycket service mind, och trevlig man. Tack Michael!!!
Perfectly centrally located apartment, a few steps to the Vaci utca, next to the subway and many buses on the doorstep. We could already by 10 clock (instead of the normal by 14 clock) refer the apartment, to communicate with the landlord or his staff was friendly and knowledgeable. Everything went to our satisfaction and we can recommend the apartment. Large rooms and two bathrooms solved a generosity that promise the photos. Only downside the toilet Mini, which does not quite fit the other apartment and could cause human from 1.85m some claustrophobia.
Perfekt zentral gelegenes Apartment, nur wenige Schritte zur Vaci Utca, direkt an der UBahn und mit vielen Bussen vor der Haustür. Wir konnten bereits um 10 Uhr (statt regulär um 14 Uhr) die Wohnung beziehen, die Kommunikation mit dem Vermieter bzw. seinen Angestellten war freundlich und kompetent. Alles verlief zu unserer Zufriedenheit und wir können das Apartment weiter empfehlen. Große Räume und zwei Bäder lösten die Großzügigkeit ein, die die Fotos versprechen. Einziger Wermutstropfen die Minitoilette, die so gar nicht zur sonstigen Wohnung passte und bei Menschen ab 1,85 m ein gewisses klaustrophobisches Gefühl hervorrufen könnte.
The apartment in Budapest is very centrally located and is highly recommended, clean and you feel really comfortable. Of course, you realize that it is located at a central location in a major city, but the city can be quickly and easily explored. The caretaker was very helpful and friendly and so everything went well. Again, a great option for the next trip to Budapest.
Die Wohnung in Budapest liegt sehr zentral und ist absolut empfehlenswert, sauber und man fühlt sich richtig wohl. Natürlich merkt man, dass man sich an zentraler Lage in einer Metropole befindet, dafür kann die Stadt rasch und bequem erkundet werden. Der Hausmeister war sehr behilflich und freundlich und so klappte alles bestens. Ist wiederum eine super Option für den nächsten Trip nach Budapest.
The moment we walked in the door "WOW" what a great apartment.
This apartment is really good,roomy ,comfortable and the best location right in the centre of town ( everything is in easy walking distance ). Super market in same building at ground level.
Sitting on the balcony having a drink was so good , great view.
Apartment was spotlessly clean,comfortable beds, excellent security,Lift .Only thing needed was a toaster.
We loved staying here and would love to stay again.
Highly recommended.
We had a wonderful time in Budapest and we loved our location. It was so close to the Central Market that I walked every morning to get food for breakfast. The Chain bridge was just a short walk and on the first day we enjoyed walking up to the Castle. The metro is right outside the door too so you can get everywhere.
Michael arranged for a driver to pick us up and take us back to the airport which worked out great. They were waiting for us both times. Michael also allowed us to check in early for a small fee so that we could relax after our long flight.
The apartment was great and had everything we needed. Loved it!
Super location. Nice that was put linens on. Also nice was hot and turned on everything. Friendly people.
Super beliggenhed. Dejligt der var lagt sengetøj på. Også dejligt der var varme og tændt for alt. Venlige mennesker.
Fantastic location in the spacious apartment. Unfortunately we could not use one bedroom due to defective elements, which gave excessive heat in the room. Otherwise, we are very happy and are prepared to come back.
Fantastiskt läge i rymlig lägenhet. Tyvärr kunde vi inte använda det ena sovrummet pga trasiga element, som gav för hög värme i det rummet. I övrigt är vi mycket nöjda och kan tänka oss att återkomma.
Awsome apartment. Clean and cozy. Loved the balcony.
No problems at all meeting up and recive the keys to the apartment. Everything worked out very good and we had a very nice vacation.
Walking disance to almost everything.
I´m defently going to stay here again the next i am in Budapest.
It was said that the facade of the building is being renovated and the windows facing the bedrooms was shielded with a plastic tarp and the windows did not open so also in the living room, but breakfast on the balcony! Consequently circulated little aria.L'appartamento is very large, centrally located, but the sofa bed where I slept had broken the support and also a splint, uncomfortable. Cleaning very poor, three televisions,

Non è stato detto che la facciata del palazzo è in rifacimento e le finestre che davano sulle stanze da letto era schermate con un telo di plastica e le finestre non si potevano aprire cosi anche nel salotto, altro che colazione al balcone! Di conseguenza circolava poca aria.L'appartamento è molto grande, in posizione centrale, ma il divano letto dove ho dormito aveva l'appoggio rotto ed anche una stecca, scomodissimo. La pulizia molto carente, su tre televisori,
due non funzionavano, anche se dopo averlo segnalato si sono attivati subito. Diversi ragni e formiche circolavano per casa.

Town Square
Yes, Alamo, you can define your city
Original post made by Bethany Silva, San Ramon, on Sep 21, 2007
This previous posting offered by Contra Costa County LAFCo refers to a guide for incorporation and incorporation laws governing the incorporation process. If you read Pages 5 through 10, you will better understand the petition process and your rights to define your city government as part of the petition's Incorporation Proposal. You do not have to wait for the goodwill of a town council to plan Alamo's future to your liking.
"The State Office of Planning & Research has prepared two useful and practical documents - A Guide to the LAFCO Process for Incorporations and Appendices - which resulted from legislation signed in 2000. These documents summarize the legal requirements of incorporation, provide basic information and practical advice, and contain sources of help, sample forms and notices. The guidelines are available online at www.opr.ca.gov. I would encourage those interested in the incorporation process to view the guidelines."
You have the right to petition CCC LAFCo for incorporation of a city designed to serve Alamo and require LAFCo commissioners to review their local incorporation policies and state laws that apply to your Incorporation Proposal.
a resident of Alamo
on Sep 22, 2007 at 7:20 pm
Bethany, let me agree with your e-presentation this AM by e-chain in Alamo.
Alamo can specify to CCC LAFCo the structure and operations of our city as a proposal of incorporation within the application and election. To effect that result, a majority in Alamo will sign the AIM petition and then specify the application's Incorporation Proposal.
It is a simple answer, as a PLAN, that will determine incorporation for Alamo. I celebrate this result as AIM support and reality for our community.
a resident of Alamo
on Oct 9, 2007 at 8:03 pm
It is not likely that most would be able to convert their knowledge of incorporation to defined actions that convert AIM petitions and LAFCo applications into acceptable terms of incorporation.
Look at the AIM petition, item 3.b., and then add the sub-section allowable by general law that specifies the city council's obligation to create citizens' commissions and committees for planning of services, structure and operations.
We cannot want what five people, as council members, decide as our future for Alamo. Please make this our city and not some minority's town.

No. 4 Seed Green Bay Faces No. 2 Seed Wright State in Semifinals
By: Jill Wunrow
Green Bay, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - The No. 4 seed Green Bay (11-6-1, 5-3 HL) men's soccer team will face No. 2 seed Wright State (10-6-2, 5-2-1 HL) in the Horizon League Championship semifinal Friday at 4 p.m. at Eastgate Field in Valparaiso, Ind. The Phoenix advanced with a 2-0 win over No. 5 seed UIC (9-7-3, 3-4-1 HL) in the quarterfinal round Nov. 8 at Aldo Santaga Stadium. The Raiders earned a first round bye as the No. 2 seed.
Friday's game will mark the first time since 2001 that the Phoenix and the Raiders meet in Horizon League Tournament play. The last meeting in the postseason was in the 2001 quarterfinals when No. 4 seed Wright State beat No. 5 seed Green Bay 5-1.
Green Bay and Wright State are the only two teams to enter the Horizon League Championship with 10 wins this season. Just two weeks ago (Oct. 29), the Phoenix and Raiders battled in regular season play at Wright State. The Raiders scored two goals in two minutes en route to snapping Green Bay's five-game winning streak with a 2-1 win.
Horizon League Award Winners... Friday's semifinal game will feature a total of nine 2011 Horizon League Award Winners. Green Bay senior Tony Walls (Wauwatosa, Wis.) earned Player of the Year honors while Wright State's Craig Feehan earned Newcomer of the Year honors. Walls was also a First Team All-League selection alongside Wright State midfielder Bryce Rockwell-Ashton and Brian Cothern. Green Bay's Stuart Grable (Neenah, Wis.) and Andrew Stone (Green Bay, Wis.) earned Second Team All-League honors while Justin Laird and Gustav Svensson from the Raiders' squad were selected to the All-Newcomer Team along with Green Bay's Kirby Allen (Appleton, Wis.).
Coaching Ties... Green Bay first year head coach Kris Kelderman and third year Wright State head coach Bryan Davis both hail from the state of Wisconsin and have a past coaching relationship. While Kelderman was an assistant coach at George Mason, Davis was an assistant coach at George Washington. At the same time, Kelderman was the technical director at a youth soccer club in northern Virginia where Davis was a member of his coaching staff.
National Ranking Summary... In this week's NSCAA national rankings Green Bay is No. 10 in the Great Lakes Region while Wright State is also receiving votes. The Phoenix is up to No. 67 in the RPI rankings while the Raiders are at No. 82.
Career Notes... Green Bay junior goalkeeper Ryan Wehking (St. Louis, Mo.) is tied atop Green Bay's career record list with 19 shutouts. Wehking and the Phoenix have five shutouts this season, including its most recent 2-0 win over UIC in the quarterfinal round of the tournament.

So, I just got back from Star Wars The Exebition in Sweden, and I must say, WOW that was AWESUME.
They had one of the original Rotj Fett costumes there, and I got a good chance to go around and take a lot of pictures for my personal archive (or anyone elses if you need them)
When taking these pictures, I noticed some detalils around the cape attachment I've never seen before.
What so you think of it? Seems the cloak is connected to the collar, and not the backpiece by two screws, or maybe both to the collar and the backpiece. I'm by no means a fett-expert, so I'll leave it to you

I see this being said a lot and reese's track record doesn't seem to support this claim. however, I wouldn't go as far as to say he reaches on players. I think he just finds a good mix of need/value.
in 2008 we lost gibril, he drafts Kenny Phillips
in 2009 we lost plax, he drafts Hakeem Nicks
in 2012 we lost Jacobs, drafts Wilson, lost ross, drafts hosley, lost manningham, drafts randle
i just want people to realize that it's OKAY to fill your needs through the draft as long as you're not reaching too far for a guy. it seems like too many people mindlessly come out and state "BPA no matter what!!" which is a simple minded way of thinking.
let's say you're picking at #20 in the draft and you need a CB really bad and you have him ranked #25 on your value chart. but then there's an OT who's rated #15 on your value board, but you're all set at that position. i really don't think there's THAT much of a difference in value from the 15-25 area.
i just want people to realize that sometimes if you really need a guy at a certain position, it's not the worst thing to take the guy rated a little bit lower. i think it's more important to draft for value in the later rounds since teams are less likely to fill a crucial need with a low round pick.
this is not to imply that we shouldn't have drafted JPP (since i know this argument will be brought to the table) just because we had plenty of DE's. if you really have a conviction on a guy the way reese and our FO did with JPP and think he's an enormous talent too good to pass up, then by all means go for it.
but if it's a situation like i described before with taking a slightly lower valued player because he fulfills a big need, it's not a bad thing like so many people make it out to be.

Scooter and Motorcycle Parking
Newbury and Boylston streets now offer the City's first metered parking slots specifically for scooters and motorcycles.
Newbury and Boylston streets now offer the City's first metered parking slots specifically for scooters and motorcycles.
The Boston Transportation Department divided six standard car spots to create space for 39 scooters or motorcycles. The meter rate is 25 cents per hour but there is no time limit, allowing scooter and motorcycle owners to feed the meter for the day.
The new parking initiative serves to recognize Boston's growing population of scooter and motorcycle drivers, while giving them parking privileges similar to those of other motor vehicle owners. The creation of the slots keeps the vehicles from being parked illegally on sidewalks and obstructing the paths of pedestrians.
The parking spaces also aid in Boston's Green Initiatives program by encouraging the use of the smaller, more environmentally friendly transportation alternatives. The slots are even labeled with green signs, further adding the new step in Green Initiatives.
The Boston Transportation Department will be monitoring this pilot program carefully over the next few months, looking for any necessary changes to be made.
Scooter and Motorcycle On-Street Parking Kick Off
Mayor Menino celebrates the inauguration of scooter and motorcycle on-street parking in the Back Bay.

From the "new to me" file comes this hypnotic clip of 32 metronomes on a wobbly table. They start swinging at different times, clacking away in a formless cacophony. But every swing of each metronome moves the tabletop, which in turn affects their motion, until the feedback loops brings all 32 metronomes into perfect synchronicity. And that's your Friday morning science lesson.
Watch Watch This First first, every weekday morning. Because the best way to start the day is to start it a few minutes later.

I think 5'3'' isn't that tall (she looked taller to me), but her extreme thinness suggests that she probably hasn't gone through puberty yet. So she may grow in height and gain weight in the next few years. Anna isn't quite as skinny, so she may be finished with puberty and growth (both vertical and horizontal). That would be good new for her jumps. I was more like Anna - I was almost 5 ft 4 and 105 pounds when I was 14; I'm now 21 and I've only grown half an inch and gained 5 or so pounds. But you never really know. It must be really stressful for these girls and their parents, since body type has such a huge impact on jumping ability, but you can't really control how your body develops.
I predict a winner in each discipline has already skated Seniors.
It's not the best comp to see up and coming skaters, but one to see how they are doing.
for up and coming skaters, NOVICE is the comp to watch.
1. Kanako Murakami
2. Polina Shelepen
3. Christina Gao
Yes, same as JGPF
I just watched Agnes Zawadski's skates from nationals - her jumps are HUGE! She's also super tall http://www.iceskatingintnl.com/archi...s/junlad10.htm
she like dwarfs everyone else she must be like 5'7" or something, I'm surprised her jumps are that secure. She could maybe spoil for a medal.
Oh and Gao is totally going to beat Shelepen. I can just feel it.
hmmm I like Kanako for Gold but the rest.....
SO I am a HUGE Kiri fan and despite the growth spurt, the last minute entry, and the fact she has been working on a new program and next year, I think she will skate-well.
I'm an ever HUGER(is that a word?) Kate Charbonneau fan, and if she skates clean, which she can, she will definitely be top 6. She is a great package.
Gao will do well. Agnes has no reputation and I am afraid her lack of speed will hold her back.
I have only seen Anna for the Russians, and wasn't all that impressed. As said before, they are little girls -I know this is Junior, but what a difference a couple of months can make!
I will be there to see it all. Leaving tomorrow night!
My bets are on Gao, Hanyu, Cong/Sui, and A Russian Dance Team for gold.
I love the Shibutani's OD, but their other programs don't shine. They do ethereal so well I have no idea where that FD came from. With Cinema Paradiso they looked like prodigies...here their freedance is another junior freedance. And they have got to up their difficulty level on lifts and make the twizzles look more smooth, fast and effortless-- I'm glad Maia's improved and hasn't had any stumbles this year but it won't be enough to beat the Russians.

Also, pretty much ALL the girls at this competition are little girls, not just the Russians. With the exception of Zawadski they are for the most part teeny, Anna is one of the youngest competitors at the event and she is taller and actually looks older than a lot of the other girls like Kanako, Gao, Shelepen, Baga who are all older. That is why it is hard to tell if most of these girls will stay good in the future because they for the most part are still just little kids.

Yikes, the US might walk away from these championships without any medals! When was the last time that happened?


text: Does anyone produce or market Royal Jelly? I read somewhere that you can let the bees produce cells and just before they are capped, you remove the larvae, pinch the end shut and put the cell/s in a jar of honey for consumption. From personal experience,it is not very tasty just taking the jelly straight. Where could I get information on producing Royal jelly for sale? Is there a market?

Avista crews facilitate mock electrical accident with Spokane first responders
Avista Utilities
Posted by Dan Kolbet
Today, Avista and local Spokane first responders participated in a surprise, mock electrical emergency that involved the theft of copper wire from overhead power lines. Avista facilitated the exercise that resulted in mock injuries to one thief and resulted in a fatality for another.
Avista crews arrived at a scene in North Spokane to find a rescue dummy (thief 1) draped over an overhead power line near a power pole. His accomplice, (thief 2) was attached to the base of the pole. Both men had received electrical shocks as they attempted to steal copper wire.
The crew moved swiftly to ensure the power lines were de-energized, meaning no electricity was running through them. They then removed the copper thieves from the pole and began life-saving efforts with the aid of local first responders who had already secured the surrounding scene.
Avista and first responders work in coordination on this sort of mock scenario to ensure that when they do occur in real life, all agencies respond appropriately.
All agencies involved are reviewing their performance to find any areas of improvement for the future.
Copper theft is a serious and dangerous crime. Since mid-2011 approximately 123 copper theft incidents have occurred in the Spokane area costing Avista and its customers $400,000 in replacement costs. The danger is not only to thieves, but also anyone who comes into contact with a live electrical line. For your safety, if you see a down wire, stay away and call Avista at 1-800-227-9187.

This root vegetable stew is flecked with sausage and topped with whole-wheat herbed dumplings. Turn up the heat by using hot Italian sausage or make it crowd-pleasing with sweet sausage. If you find beets or turnips with their greens still attached, the greens of one bunch should yield just enough for this dish. Otherwise use whatever dark leafy greens look fresh at the market.

Serves 6
Prep Time 50 min
Total Time 60 min.
Step 1
To prepare stew: Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add sausages and cook until browned on all sides, 5 to 6 minutes. Transfer to a clean cutting board. Let cool slightly and cut into 1-inch pieces.
Step 2
If using parsnips, quarter lengthwise and remove the woody core before dicing. Heat the remaining 2 teaspoons oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Cook onion, stirring occasionally, until barely tender, about 4 minutes. Add root vegetables and cook for 5 minutes. Add garlic and sage (or rosemary) and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add broth and bring to a simmer, stirring often.
Step 3
To prepare dumplings: Meanwhile, whisk whole-wheat flour, cake flour, sage (or rosemary), baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. Add egg and milk and stir until a stiff batter forms.
Step 4
When the stew reaches a simmer, stir in greens and the sausage and return to a simmer. Drop the dough, about 1 tablespoon at a time, over the stew, making about 18 dumplings. Adjust the heat to maintain a gentle simmer, cover and cook undisturbed until the dumplings are puffed, the vegetables are tender and the sausage is cooked through, about 10 minutes.

As a newbie I'm still trying to figure out the timing of these things!! The golden rod seems to be in full bloom & the girls are busy and I'm not sure if I should leave the supers on and hope they finish filling them up? Or should I take them off now??
I still have 3 supers on, 2 are mostly filled and capped, the 3rd is 70% drawn and has a fair amount of thick dark honey filling the cells.
Since this is my first year and they started as a 5 frame nuc, I'm pretty happy with the results. I do no want to wait too long to take them off though.
Any suggestions??

"If it hurts or degrades someone, it's wrong," says Rosalind Wiseman. She is the author of Queen Bees and Wannabees, the book on which the movie Mean Girls is based. Wiseman educates mothers and daughters on issues that impact kids, including bullying and gossiping. TFK Kid Reporter Gabrielle Healy caught up with the author on her Girl World Tour.
If you could only give one piece of advice about bullying to young people, what would it be?
Just because it's happening and you see it all the time, that doesn't make it right. If it hurts your feelings, then it's wrong. If it degrades somebody, humiliates somebody, makes him or her feel small, it's wrong. Kids should say, "Well, why is this common? Why is this so accepted? What am I going to do about it?"
How can young people maintain a positive self-image around their friends?
Conflict is inevitable. People are going to get into arguments. You're going to have to be able to talk through that conflict in a way where others don't blow you off or make you feel stupid or ridicule you. And you have to make sure that you don't do that to others. That's a struggle, though. It's not like, "Oh, here you go. Have a positive self-image."
What do you think about young people using social networking sites like Facebook or Twitter?
How old are you?
I'm 11.
Ok, so you know Facebook says, "Are you 13?" And the 9-year-old person goes, "Yes, I am." And welcome to Facebook. As soon as kids are social networking, even on Club Penguins or Webkinz, parents need to sit them down and say, "The way you conduct yourself online is exactly the way we expect you to conduct yourself in real life. If you don't do this, then we are going to take this away until you can prove to us you're mature enough to handle it." It should be similar to the way people teach children how to drive. When you're sixteen, you get a permit to drive. You're not allowed to drive past a certain hour. You give people graduated freedom. We don't do that with technology. We just say, "Here you go. Happy Facebook. Go for it." So you're going to go crazy! It's like giving a 16-year-old the keys to a race car. It's like saying, "You don't know how to drive, but we think you're going to be good at it." I'm asking kids to take ownership. Slow down long enough to figure it out and have some control over it.
What do you think is the appropriate age for kids to own a cell phone?
I think that when you go to a concert, or any place where there are a lot of people and you may get lost, then I think it's totally appropriate to bring a cell phone with you. That does not necessarily mean that it is your cell phone. It's your family's cell phone. I don't think children your age should own a cell phone. It's helpful, like, 2% of the time, and 98% of the time it makes your life miserable. Of course, you feel like you have to have one because everybody else has one and you're going to miss out on information. But that's information that's going to make you more miserable.
What advice would you give to young people to prepare themselves in case they are bullied?
Kids feel like adults just don't get it. They think all adults are useless. My answer to you is, even though you think 98% of adults can't help you, you've got to be able to identify one adult you think is realistic enough for you to talk to. You don't need 100 people. You just need one.
You say that kids and parents are too influenced by marketing. What can parents and their children do to avoid this?
I think parents have to be media literate. Look at what messages are being sent to you, and to your children. The most important thing is to have a discussion with kids about what they see. I sometimes even mute television advertisements and have my sons guess what is being sold to them.
In today's mean girl world, how do young people make the right friendship choices?
The top three things you have to have in a friendship are trust, loyalty and the ability to be yourself. These are your friendship rights.

I love how two faced our stupid government is.First they and the populace complain that all GM makes is pretty much Hummers(of course totally not even close to being true) and that the althought people buy them that they shouldn't be on the road!But then they are happy when someone says hey if they keep building Hummers(that people still buy), 3,000 people will keep their jobs!It's totally insane!
----Real reason why lexus sales are down so much:"People don't want to look like they have money now," said Mark Templin, group vice president of Toyota Motor Corp.'s North American Lexus division.
lol so true so true i'm wondering what kinda vehicles they'll make now? does GM still have connections for platform and tech developement? or is hummer 100% gone. and with it the hopes of a new chevy blazer
--------------------I'm working on a scifi-adventure webcomic!
If there's anything we need more of hummer jobs.Oh...you're talking about employment.(Hey, it's an old joke but it works for me.)

Tracking sharks off the South East coast
20/02/2013 , 12:07 PM by Selina Green
Most of us would like to know where the sharks are in our local waters in order to avoid them. But not Paul Rogers. As an ecology program research officer with SARDI, his job is to keep a very close watch on the location of sharks in our waters. Paul's involved in a program of tagging mako sharks around Port MacDonnell, in order to better understand the species and its migration habits. He tells Stan Thomson about the journey of one particular shark, named Morry......

Three factors narrowed stadium site to City Hall
EL PASO, Texas - One of the most criticized elements of the City's baseball stadium plan is the site where the ballpark will stand.
The plan is to demolish an old but mostly functional building and relocate hundreds of City employees, while picking up the cost of building a stadium there.
Choosing the City Hall site has drawn a lot of questions and in some cases, even anxiety and anger from taxpayers. That's mostly because the City estimates it'll cost upwards of about $30 million to find, build or reconstruct a new city hall site.
But supporters of the plan maintain it was the most cost effective, viable option to get the ballpark built within the time constraints they had.
City Council members who supported the plan said they had to consider three main factors: Downtown location, land ownership and most importantly, a tight timeline.
Mayor John Cook said the Pacific Coast League stipulated that in order for the ownership group to acquire the team for El Paso, a stadium must be ready for use by the 2014 season, which begins in April of that year.
That means the City has about 21 months to acquire land and build the stadium.
Cook said that stipulation made public land the only real option.
"There are other sites in the downtown area which would work very well. But trying to get them done in a 2-year time frame might be impossible especially if you had someone hold out and force you into an eminent domain taking," he said in an interview on Thursday.
City Rep. Susie Byrd said the council and City staff did look into private options, but there were none that were big enough.
"Not everyone would maybe be willing to sell which is often the case with a public buyer. Depending on what the project is and what's going on so that would drive up your cost and the time," said Byrd.
Also, the options were limited because the stadium had to be Downtown, Cook and Byrd said, and not just because the City wanted it there.
"The Pacific Coast League also wanted that as a priority just because their downtown venues have done very well. And so, Downtown was a very important part of that," added Byrd.
So the City considered publicly owned land. Sites evaluated were the current Sun Metro home, next to the Union Depot, across from City Hall.
That didn't work. Cook said Union Pacific didn't want to move railroad tracks close by, even if the City paid for the tracks to be relocated.
They also considered the Abraham Chavez Theatre.
"A baseball diamond is configured differently than say a soccer stadium or an arena. So none of the other sites had the right configuration for a baseball diamond," said Byrd.

Jennifer Lopez is making another movie. Probably better than her trying to sing.
Yeah, apparently Kaley Cuoco does have a little Kardashian in her.
Katie Holmes probably doesn't.

A seventh-round pick, Poyer had been relegated to special teams the last five weeks after playing 17 defensive snaps in the season opener. The Eagles were considering moving him to safety prior to his release and will likely re-sign him to the active roster or practice squad if he clears waivers.

Needless to say, I was not able to get much genealogy research done over the past couple of days. There were far more important things weighing on my thoughts. I got some good news today though, and hopefully things will fall into place. Once I can sit down and absorb all that has happened, and evaluate what new potentials are open to me, I'll get back to the fun stuff. For now, bear with me, and wish me a little luck, I might just need it.

text: ALEXANDRIA, Va., April 11, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- The American Society of Consultant Pharmacists (ASCP) developed an in-depth analysis of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services' (CMS) response to public comments on a proposal requiring that consultant pharmacists be independent from long-term care pharmacies, pharmaceutical manufacturers and wholesalers. "I believe ASCP has been given a prime opportunity to take the lead on addressing very strong and disconcerting comments about the value of consultant pharmacists' services. We must get out front and lead this charge!" says ASCP President Penny Shelton, PharmD, CGP, FASCP. There is common ground with other long-term care stakeholders on this issue and ASCP will work with them to gather the data necessary to adequately address CMS's concerns. Adds Shelton, "We look forward to the opportunity to develop industry-wide measures through collaboration with quality standards organizations, such as the Pharmacy Quality Alliance, that will satisfy issues raised by CMS and best ensure patient safety and quality of care." What is a Consultant Pharmacist and what role do these medical professionals play in health care for the older persons? Consultant Pharmacists are the patient-centered advocates for seniors at-risk for medication-related problems. Typically found working in long-term care settings for the elderly, these ASCP members possess specific knowledge and skills in geriatric pharmacotherapy and are experts in the unique medication-related needs of seniors and long-term care residents. ASCP is an association representing more than 6,000 members who manage drug therapy and improve the quality of life of geriatric patients and other individuals residing in a variety of environments, including nursing facilities, sub acute care and assisted living facilities, psychiatric hospitals, hospice programs, and home and community-based care. Learn more about ASCP's efforts in regard to the CMS proposal and about the vital role that ASCP members play in the lives of senior citizens at the Spring Conference + Exhibition in Anaheim, CA, May 21-23, 2012.

The Duke Chronicle in Durham, NC just published an article about BringMeThat and our connection to the Triangle Startup Factory:
So far, 1459 restaurants in North Carolina are listed on the BringMeThat website. 80 are specific to Durham, including chains as well as local staples like Parker & Otis and Ninth Street Bakery. In addition to full menus, BringMeThat also lists minimum order amounts, delivery fees and notes such as "catering only." […]
The draw of online ordering is mostly to save the time it takes to make a full phone call, which often involves being put on hold. Liang also noted that the website saves customer preferences to make future ordering easier. (The Duke Chronicle)
Elliot over at the fantastic eatRaleigh blog posted a review of BringMeThat after ordering Capital Creations through our site. A very thorough and fair write-up:
When first logging into the site I was delighted to see a clean and cool design. Some of the other delivery service websites look like they were designed by middle school computer classes […] The delivery time was as promised, clocking in at around 40 minutes. Everything was well packaged and still warm […]
Raleigh will continue to grow, and with it many more homebodies and couch potatoes will be in search of great food at the convenience of Bring Me That. – (eatRaleigh)
In June, BringMeThat completed its session at the Triangle Startup Factory. The culmination was Paradoxos — a two-day festival in Durham spotlighting entrepreneurship and technology. On the first day of the festival, "pitch day," BringMeThat CEO Jason Liang explained the company to an audience of investors and Media. Beforehand, co-founder Michael LaMarca sat down for an interview with ExitEvent.
"The community here has really been amazing," LaMarca said. "It's been great to be part of Durham's startup scene. With it only being a few years old, it's like being part of something ground level."
And if Paradoxos turns out like its organizers hope, Durham won't be ground level for much longer. – (ExitEvent)
Also, a shout-out to Nanci O, who we met at Paradoxos and who mentioned us on her great blog about hip-hop in the Southeast.

Alternative Therapies for Allergies
Sneezing. Itchy, watery eyes. Irritated throat. Runny nose. Whether you have one, two, or all of these, allergy symptoms can make you feel miserable and run down. The first sneeze or tingle in the throat may send many of us running to the nearest pharmacy for antihistamines and other over-the-counter medications. But are there alternative remedies that can provide relief from allergies as well?
Getting to Know Herbs
When we think of alternative treatments, we often think of exotic herbs with potential healing powers. But what really has been shown to work just as well as conventional treatment and what is sham? Several small studies may help shed light on the effect of medicinal herbs in treating allergy symptoms. One study looked at a combination tablet containing Cinnamomum zeylanicum, Malpighia glabra, and Bidens pilosa versus a well-known antihistamine, loratadine. The researchers found that both loratadine and the combination herbal tablet reduced nasal symptoms.
Another small study evaluated the effectiveness of a Chinese herbal treatment against allergic rhinitis. Participants taking the Chinese herbs reported significant symptom improvement compared to those who did not.
Other herbal remedies that may be effective against allergic rhinitis are:
- Aller-7—Indian herbal combination
- Tinospora cordifolia
- Perilla frutescens
Pass the Butterbur
Larger studies show that the herb butterbur may be helpful against allergic rhinitis. Butterbur was shown to reduce allergy symptoms compared to placebo.
Another study compared butterbur against fexofenadine (an over-the-counter allergy medication) and placebo. Butterbur and fexofenadine were found to be equally effective, while both were more effective than placebo.
On Pins and Needles
If needles do not scare you, then acupuncture may be an option in the line of alternative treatments against allergies. But before you rush to an acupuncturist, be aware that most systematic reviews of acupuncture studies show that there is either limited or conflicting evidence that acupuncture works in improving symptoms. However, one small study did show acupuncture to be more effective than sham acupuncture for persistent allergic rhinitis.
Under the Tongue
For some, needles are a part of life. Some people treat their allergy symptoms with allergy shots. Known as immunotherapy, the idea behind the treatment is to reduce allergic symptoms and increase immunity against the allergic substance by exposing the body to small amounts of the substance. Traditionally, exposure is done through injecting the allergic substance into the upper arm. This is extremely effective for treating allergic rhinitis and has minimal adverse effects when done under the supervision of an allergist.
An alternative to shots is placing the substance under the tongue. This treatment is known as sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT). With SLIT, the allergic substances are placed as drops under the tongue. Studies on the effectiveness of this treatment for allergic rhinitis have been mixed, although most have shown SLIT to relieve major symptoms. One study also claims that it may be useful in preventing new allergies from developing.
SLIT appears to work best if used year round and year-after-year. The US Food and Drug Administration recently approved its first sublingual extract for the treatment of certain grass pollen allergies.
There are options for those seeking allergy relief outside of the pharmacy aisle. Talk with your doctor first before taking any herbal remedy. Some herbal therapies may interact with medications you may already be taking or may cause undesirable side effects.

[quote user="lttaylor56"][quote user="JPizzack"]
[quote user="bigblue4417"]SI.com's Peter King is predicting that Manningham will draw a contract in the neighborhood of $7 million per season. Teams such as the Bears, Bengals, Vikings, Jaguars, 49ers, and Redskins could be interested.[/quote]

of those teams, i only see Ham wanting to play in Cinci or SF if the price were the same. The bengals pass game would be pretty nasty with Green, and Ham.....lol....green eggs and ham. im funny >.<
[/quote]7 mil per season? Holy crap. That's insane, who thinks he's worth that?[/quote]
i think he'll get 6 mil a year
def think hes worth that... he is always on the list of most big plays and he hasn't been a solid starter here at all while doing it. Plus hes only 26 and just showed he can perform on the big stage...
Well deserved i say

CL-FL Legion hosts Flag Day ceremony
1 / 2
2 / 2
The Crosslake-Fifty Lakes American Legion Post 500 and Auxiliary hosted a Flag Day program Friday, June 14, outside of the Legion club in Crosslake.
Commander Joe Wiltsey presided as flags were presented and deemed unserviceable.
After a short program, Legion members disposed of nearly 300 flags that had been dropped at the Legion club through the year.
Flag Day was established to honor the anniversary of the adoption on June 14, 1777, of the original Stars and Stripes as the official flag of the United States.
