|Tuukka Rask: 'We gave them a couple of gifts'
|05.23.13 at 11:32 pm ET
NEW YORK — It was the blooper that will live in infamy.
Tuukka Rask lost an edge and then his balance and fell over at exactly the wrong time, allowing Carl Hagelin to score and cut Boston's 2-0 lead in half with 11:21 left in the second period. Hagelin shook off Johnny Boychuk just enough to flip a backhander on net that Rask would've normally turned aside without any fanfare. But he fell backward.
"I took a step to the side," Rask explained. "There was what I think was a skate mark or something. That's what it felt like. I lost my balance and the rest is history.
"Happens maybe twice a year in practice. Focus, got to be more focused, I think. Just a tough mistake. Looks pretty bad on TV. Just sloppy, I think. It kind of freezes you, and you still have a second to decide whether you're going to scramble with the paddle down or just try to wrap your way around. Just awful."
Rask was burned again on another bizarre goal when Derek Stepan stripped the puck from captain Zdeno Chara while Rask was still settling into his crease. Stepan wrapped around a shot into a vacated net and the game was tied 2-2, early in the third period.
"Nothing," Rask said of what he saw on that goal. "We tried to wheel it [out of the defensive zone]. A guy surprised us and I couldn't do anything, didn't see anything. We gave them a couple of gifts, obviously. That's, at the end of the day, what costs us a lot of energy, a couple of leads and the game.
"It's a game of mistakes. Every team makes mistakes, every player makes mistakes and you just have to learn from them and move forward. I don't think a couple of mistakes are going to make us a bad hockey team. It's just what happens sometimes and you just have to shake it off and move on."
The Bruins and Rangers would exchange goals, including the Bruins getting burned yet again for too many men on the ice in a playoff game. The game went to overtime before Chris Kreider finished a perfect pass from Rick Nash by netting the game-winner at 7:03 of extra time.
"I thought that was the best goal of the night for them," Rask said. "That was a really good goal. A really good tip. I could've had it but I couldn't get there. Can't blame myself too much."
NESN Bruins analyst Andy Brickley joined Mut & Merloni on Thursday to preview Game 4 of the Bruins-Rangers playoff series.
The Bruins are looking to close out the series with a sweep, but Brickley said he does not expect the Rangers to lay down.
"They're not going to want to lose on home ice," Brickley said. "They're not going to want to go down four straight to this Bruins team. They want to force a Game 5. They absolutely have a lot of pride. They're professional athletes. They're a team that was expected to do something this year, and the opportunities are sliding away quickly. So, I expect them to bring their 'A' game, and I expected their goaltender to play as well as he did in Game 3."
The Bruins are coming off an impressive win in Game 3, as they delivered a solid effort for 60 minutes and scored two third-period goals to pull out the win.
"The thing I loved about the Bruins in Game 3 was no Jekyll and Hyde persona that Claude [Julien] likes to talk about; far more consistent," Brickley said. "The best measure is quality scoring chances given up, and you can count them on one hand against [Tuukka] Rask in Game 3. Even though they needed two goals in the third period, the Bruins were never in any real trouble despite the one goal that beat Rask through a whole bunch of bodies from a screen on that shot by [Ryan] McDonagh from the point.
"The only thing that concerned you a little bit was the scoring chances that they had in the first period and were unable to beat [Henrik] Lundqvist. But their mentality coming into the series was that's what they expected from Lundqvist all along, even though they didn't get it in Games 1 and 2. So, I think the Bruins mentally and emotionally were prepared for that kind of performance. And they just try to stay on the attack and play to their identity, which was to roll those four lines.
"What they've shown us in this series is incredible depth that they have. No [Dennis] Seidenberg, no [Andrew] Ference, no [Wade] Redden. You get [Matt] Bartkowski, [Torey] Krug and [Dougie] Hamilton, and that gives you a different dynamic to your team — that speed, quickness and mobility on the back end. But I think you also saw their depth in Game [3], with your fourth line and the matchups you get with that fourth line and how good they played, with experience and with familiarity and their forechecking game — simple, fundamental and effective. And they end up being difference-makers on the scoresheet."
The Bruins' lack of success in non-Game 7 closeout games over the past three years has been well-documented. Brickley said the B's appear to be better equipped to provide a finishing touch Thursday.
"I still have memories of Game 5 on home ice against Toronto, up 3-1," Brickley said. "The way [the Bruins] responded in Game 3 [vs. the Rangers] makes me think that they're far more prepared — mentally, physically, emotionally — for a closeout game situation. They needed three closeout games to beat the Leafs. You hope it's a lesson learned. I expect the Bruins, since they've found some consistency now in their game, that they'll be far better tonight."

|Merlot Line leads Bruins to 3-0 series lead
|05.21.13 at 10:11 pm ET
NEW YORK — The Bruins' fourth line stole the spotlight from Henrik Lundqvist Tuesday night at Madison Square Garden as the Bruins came back in the third period to beat the Rangers, 2-1, and take a commanding 3-0 series lead in the Eastern Conference semifinals.
With the B's trailing by a goal entering the third period, the Merlot Line produced goals in two if its first four third-period shifts, the latter of which yielded a funky go-ahead goal from Daniel Paille off a rebound that went off Lundqvist's mask and stayed in the air for a good amount of time before landing on the door step. Johnny Boychuk produced Boston's first goal (his fourth of the postseason) on a shot from the point that had to make its way through some traffic that was led by Shawn Thornton.
Tyler Pyatt redirected a shot past Tuukka Rask at 3:53 of the second period to give the Rangers the lead in the second period after the teams skated to a scoreless first. The goal came on a rather uncharacteristic shift for Patrice Bergeron on which he lost the faceoff and then was unable to get a clearing attempt out of the zone.
But that was the only harm done against Rask, who turned in his latest superb performance highlighted by a pair of big saves on Rick Nash in the third period.
The Bruins will have the opportunity to finish off the Rangers Thursday night at Madison Square Garden.

|Barry Pederson on D&C: Rangers' shot-blocking style causing problems for Henrik Lundqvist
|05.20.13 at 9:45 am ET
NESN Bruins analyst Barry Pederson joined Dennis & Callahan on Monday morning to discuss the Bruins' strong start to their series against the Rangers. Boston holds a 2-0 series lead following Sunday's 5-2 victory.
The Bruins have been rejuvenated by the play of young defensemen Torey Krug, Matt Bartkowski and Dougie Hamilton.
"I think right now they're showing some signs of [being a better team with the rookies], just because of the element that these three young kids have brought, which is mobility, speed, I think right now playing with a lack of fear, a lot of confidence," Pederson said. "But you can really see it, to me, from their offensive side. What I mean by that, a lot of times throughout the year when the offense has been struggling, everybody always points at the forwards. And vice versa, when the defensive game is struggling, everybody always point to the defense. I've always been a firm believer that your defense creates your offense, and your forwards create your defense.
"So, these guys are doing a really good job, to me, by jumping into plays, recognizing when there are outnumbered opportunities to make it a three-on-two, a four-on-three. Hamilton did a good job of that yesterday as well as Bartkowski and Krug. For now they're doing I think a really good job of creating some offense and '¦ they are bringing a little bit of speed and mobility that maybe the Bruins have not had back there in a while."
With the strong play by the rookies, it's led to a discussion about what coach Claude Julien will do if and when injured veterans Dennis Seidenberg, Andrew Ference and Wade Redden are ready to return. Pederson said he does not anticipate a problem in the locker room.
"The guys recognize what this is all about, is trying to win hockey games," he said. "It's one of those problems that you love to have. '¦ You can never have enough good, young defensemen, because they're first of all hard to come by. And it's a situation where these guys right now are playing this way. We'll see how things go when you go into a more hostile environment in New York."
Added Pederson: "I think if I had to look at how I would rank them, the rookies being taken out, starting with the first guy, I would probably take a look at Hamilton, it would probably go Krug, and then last would be Bartkowski to be removed from the lineup when and if they came back.
"If Redden was the first guy back, I'm not so sure if I would make a move quite yet. These guys have, I think, kind of earned an opportunity to continue. If it was Dennis Seidenberg who was healthy, there's no doubt that he's coming back immediately. I just don't get a sense with Ference that he's even that close, but again we don't know anything about the injuries, so we'll have to wait and see."
|Pierre McGuire on M&M: With Bruins' depth down middle, 'I do think this is a team that can flip the switch'
|05.15.13 at 12:11 pm ET
NBC hockey analyst Pierre McGuire was a guest of the Mut & Merloni show Wednesday to talk about the Stanley Cup playoffs.
McGuire said "only in youth hockey" has he seen a comeback like the Bruins' miracle against the Maple Leafs in Monday night's Game 7.
"I've never seen anything like that with 12 minutes or less to go in an NHL game — in a playoff game, a deciding Game 7," McGuire said. "Never seen that before."
McGuire said the tide started to turn in the Bruins' favor when Tuukka Rask stopped Matt Frattin on a breakaway with 3:35 left in the third period and Toronto leading 4-2.
"Boston got urgent. Boston really felt better after Frattin missed the breakaway. You could see there was a huge surge after the save was made by Tuuka on Matt Frattin's breakaway. And you could see the better players for the Bruins every other shift were starting to take over momentum," McGuire said.
"So, it was a combination of Frattin misses the breakaway, Boston starts to amp it up, their star players really start to amp it up and they get the feel. Then all of a sudden they put the lunar eclipse in front of James Reimer, that is Zdeno Chara, and [Patrice] Bergeron with a seeing-eye shot makes it all equal. Then they go into overtime and win."
Looking at the Bruins' inconsistency, McGuire said some of it can be traced to the post-Marathon fallout.
"The thing that's impressed me the most about this Bruins team: I think that this team was emotionally hurt, like most of the city of Boston was, after the Marathon tragedy," McGuire said. "I really mean that. I was there to do their game following the Marathon tragedy, and you could sense the emotion, you could sense how these guys felt terrible for the families, for the victims, for the entire city. It was a huge blow. It took time for these guys to rebound.
"If you remember, the first game after was against the Buffalo Sabres, and they didn't win the game. You could sense that guys were ready to cry after the game; they felt like they had let the city down. So, I think there's been a lot of emotion that's gone into the season for the Bruins. Let's remember, it was a 48-game schedule, there was a lockout, a lot of players were saying stuff they probably shouldn't have said or didn't want to say but it was out of character, but emotion got involved. And I think this has been an emotional roller coaster for this team all year.
"Do I think they can flip the switch? Absolutely. I respectfully disagree with Peter Chiarelli — I do think this is a team that can flip the switch because of their depth down the middle. When you look at it with [David] Krejci, with Bergeron, with [Chris] Kelly, with [Gregory] Campbell. I truly believe, when you have that kind of depth down the middle, you can flip a switch."
|Barry Pederson on D&C: Milan Lucic 'took that team on his back'
|05.14.13 at 11:36 am ET
NESN Bruins analyst Barry Pederson joined Dennis & Callahan on Tuesday morning, hours after the B's completed an incredible comeback with a 5-4 overtime victory over the Maple Leafs in Game 7 at TD Garden.
Pederson passed around the praise, beginning with Milan Lucic.
"Lucic took that team on his back going down the stretch with his physical presence, intimidation and going to the front of the net," Pederson said. "I thought he really turned things around.
"But it got scary there that first shift of the hockey game when [Dennis] Seidenberg goes down 37 seconds into the game. All of a sudden no Seidenberg, no [Andrew] Ference and no [Wade] Redden. And boy, [Matt] Bartkowski stepped it up, then the other young guys on the right side, [Johnny] Boychuk, [Adam] McQuaid and [Dougie] Hamilton, brought their game up. And it's not easy with Toronto's speed.
"Then you've got to talk about the captain [Zdeno Chara], with 35 minutes of ice time that he had to log. He'll be one tired guy. Then you've got to give [Tuukka] Rask a lot of credit, too. Here's a kid that [when] it was 4-1, he didn't quit. He made some big saves down the stretch — that breakaway on [Matt] Frattin and then on [Joffrey] Lupul in overtime. It was a total team effort."
While the Bruins came up big in the third period and overtime, the Maple Leafs are looking back at a stunning collapse.
"The other part of the story, of course, is as they're coming on, a young Toronto team, who had never been through this war before and never experienced it, totally collapsed in the sense that they quit making plays, they're back on their heels. they're getting the puck and instead of going tape to tape and trying to create some offense, they're just banging it off the boards," Pederson said. "For [James] Reimer, who played so well for them in Game 5 and 6 to get them there, he just had no chance with so many bodies around him. He wasn't controlling his rebounds and then the Bruins were just pouncing."
While the Bruins have faced criticism for their inconsistency, Pederson said it's been a league-wide problem during the lockout-shortened season. That said, Pederson noted that the B's turnover problems need to be remedied in a hurry if they're going to advance any further.
"One of the hallmarks of Claude Julien's teams and one of the things that I've enjoyed watching was the defensive responsibility and the way they protect the puck and the way they don't beat themselves with turnovers," Pederson said. "But boy, down the stretch of the regular season and at various times throughout these playoffs, that was not what we saw from this team. This was a team that was self-destructing by turnovers, not getting the puck deep, not protecting the puck. So for the Bruins to get to that next level and get away from that Jekyll and Hyde, as Claude calls it, they're going to have to protect the puck better and be mentally tougher. Because again, the competition gets that much more difficult against the New York Rangers."
|Bruins storm back to eliminate Maple Leafs in Game 7
|05.13.13 at 10:06 pm ET
The Bruins ended up having the comeback that mattered most, Boston came back from a 4-1 deficit in the third period against the Maple Leafs in Game 7 before advancing on an overtime goal from Patrice Bergeron.
With the Bruins trailing 4-1 in the third, Nathan Horton, Milan Lucic and Bergeron scored to even the game. Both Bergeron and Lucic's goals came in the final 1:22 with Tuukka Rask pulled for an extra skater. Bergeron added his second of the game on a rebound at 6:05 of overtime to give the B's a 5-4 win.
The Bruins were hurting big-time on their backend, as Wade Redden was kept out of the lineup with Andrew Ference already out. The biggest shoe of all dropped when Dennis Seidenberg didn't play after the first two minutes of the first period, forcing the Bruins to rely heavily on Zdeno Chara, Johnny Boychuk and Matt Bartkowski.
Bartkowski did well with the responsibilities he was given, as he got the Bruins on the board in the first period with his first career NHL goal. Toronto answered back by getting a power-play goal from Cody Franson and another tally from Franson through a screen in the second period. The Leafs added to their lead in the third period with goals from Phil Kessel and Nazem Kadri. Horton brought the Bruins within two with his fourth goal of the playoffs before the B's tied it with a late flurry.
'¢ That was the second three-goal comeback in the third period this season for the B's, as they accomplished the feat on Feb. 12 against the Rangers before losing in in a shootout.
'¢ Bartkowski picked a first time for his first career NHL goal. Bartkowski, who had played 21 career NHL games without a goal entering Monday, stepped up big with Seidenberg out. His highest time on ice total in the NHL entering the game was 16:36 on April 11, and he easily surpassed that total with well over 22:43 in regulation alone.
'¢ The Bruins got away with one late in the first period when Chris Kelly elbowed James van Riemsdyk in the face without getting called from it. JVR was leaking from the play.
'¢ Seidenberg played just 37 seconds of the game and did not play after the first two minutes. His second shift lasted just six seconds, and though he never headed down the tunnel to receive treatment, he didn't play for the final 18:16 of the period before missing the second and third. He took a twirl during a TV timeout following Bartkowski's goal but didn't stay out for a shift and could be seen sitting and standing up for long periods of time on the bench while appearing to occasionally stretch his left leg. Seidenberg stayed on the bench in the second period.
'¢ The Bruins went a span of 18:15 from the first to second period with just three shots on goal — two from Gregory Campbell and the other a point shot from Dougie Hamilton. Bergeron was given credit for a shot on goal in that span, though it didn't reach the net and thus shouldn't have been registered as such.
'¢ The Bruins won 29-of-36 faceoffs through the first two periods and still didn't manage to control the play. They had only 12 shots on goal through the first 40 minutes.

Overall I am very pleased with the product. There are two areas for improvement. 1.They should come with gaskets that completely cover the stake-holes. make sure you consider this when mounting and make your own out of thin plastic. Otherwise you will see the corners of the stake holes. 2.The tubing is slightly yellower than the mounting ends more than likely due to the fact that they are of completely different gage metals. Nobody will notice. The tubing, mounts, and plastic sleeves all go together perfectly. Nicely manufactured.

The shipping was fast as usual,to begin with.The rails were in perfect condition,but after opening and looking at the parts,I wasn't sure that they were going to fit because the stake pocket covers on my Titan's factory bed liner were 2"x3",and the "expander"that goes down into the stake pocket was only 1.5"x2" and,being a thick solid piece of rubber,I couldn't possibly see how it would work.(This is my first truck,so I'd never installed rails before.)After talking with Autoanything & Putco,and being told they'd fit,I went on and cut out the stake pocket covers,I saw that the actual stake pockets were smaller than the holes in the bed liner.I was about to return them for a different brand,but I'm glad I "risked" it and took their word for it.They look great and I love the tie downs on all four end pieces.One problem though-on Titans,if you have a factory bed liner,set the black gasket over the stake pocket cover and notice that the gasket doesn't cover the pocket covers completely.I used a box cutter but I left the corners of the stake pocket covers so you won't have four small openings-one at each corner of each pocket cover.But don't worry if you ignore this step-if water gets in them,the bed will not get wet < for tonneau cover owners.Also,if your'e a first timer like me,the tonneau cover does not need to be touched.Be very careful with the box cutter-I put a few unwanted slices in my bed liner.Overall,the rails look terrific!and installed in about 20-25min.I hope this helps bed rail vigins like me.Steve - Sandy Springs,Ga.

The government is planning to spend hundreds of millions of pounds a year on two new savings schemes for newborn babies and people on low incomes.
The Child Trust Fund, already nicknamed the Baby Bond, will provide a cash lump sum to all children at birth that will be kept in special accounts until they reach adulthood. The Gateway Sav ings scheme will match savings by low-income earners with direct contributions paid by the Government. The schemes are designed to tackle child poverty and encourage saving among the 16 million people who have none.
Launching the schemes, Education Secretary David Blunkett said: 'The new Child Trust Fund and the Savings Gateway will provide a vital first step on the road to self reliance - taking people out of the dependency culture and giving them a real stake in society.
'Young people will start out in life with financial backing behind them... It's about the state helping you to help yourself - a something-for-something approach so that people can take greater responsibility for their own future.'
Details of the two schemes are open to consultation, but as a starting point the Government has suggested that access to money in the Child Trust Fund should be restricted until the child reaches 18 or 21.
The money (£800 is used as an example for children from low-income families, and £400 for others) could be paid as one lump sum or in tranches at birth, five, 11 and 16. As 720,000 babies are born on average each year, paying just the lower £400 sum could cost £288 million a year. Parents and other interested parties could make contributions to the funds on their behalf, with possible tax advantages.
The Child Trust Fund could also be used as a link to 'broader social concerns' such as community service and educational achievement. Participating community groups could reward service by children with credits that have a cash value only when paid into their Child Trust Fund.
The concept of the Saving Gateway has been derived from the Individual Development Account in the US, where people saving towards particular objectives - housing, business or education - have limited amounts of savings matched, typically at a rate of $2 for every $1 saved.
Likewise, the Government suggests that the Saving Gateway account will match savings on a pound-for-pound basis up to a maximum of £50 a month, and run for a fixed period, perhaps three years.
After this time, savers will be able to transfer their saved assets into an existing savings or investment scheme, such as an Isa or stakeholder pension or the Child Trust Fund. During the lifetime of the Saving Gateway, users could have access to funds - either their own contributions or the whole pot - to ensure funds are available for 'rainy day' contingencies.
One of the biggest questions is how the money should be invested. Because the Saving Gateway will run for a short period, it is likely to take the form of a low-risk deposit account. But the 18- or 21-year lifespan of the Child Trust Fund means that children could benefit more by taking a higher-risk strategy - investing in equities and fixed-interest securities.
James Budden, marketing manager for Jump, the Witan investment trust savings scheme for children, says that £800 invested in the average building society account over the past 18 years would now be worth £2,065. The same amount invested in Jump would have grown to £10,785.
He also argues that children will benefit more if the Government invests the full amount at birth, rather than staggering sums through the 18 years: 'We would like to see the full £800 for chil dren of less well-off families invested for the full 18 years. A top-up at the age of 16 is going to have little overall impact being invested for just two years.'
Friendly societies, which have offered low-premium, tax-efficient savings schemes for children for many years, consider themselves well placed to run Child Trust Funds.
David White of the Tunbridge Wells Equitable Friendly Society (Twefs) says: 'We know from our work that it's the case that parents aren't aware of how much it costs to put children through higher education and give them a good start in life. And crucially we understand how to make small savings with tax incentives work - Twefs has produced average annual returns of 10 per cent from premiums of £150 a year.'
Martin Barnes, director of the Child Poverty Action Group, welcomes the proposals but wishes that the Government had concentrated on sorting out the Social Fund first. The Social Fund pays out money to people on income support who need to make one-off, big purchases, but Barnes says the fund's cap of £100m a year is inadequate, and many of those in need do not apply for money because they know that the vast majority are rejected.
'While I welcome the idea of providing capital to give children a good start in life, there are families out there who can't afford to buy a cooker,' he says.
The Government has issued no timescale for introducing the schemes, whose details are wide open to consultation. It plans to publish another, firmer consultative document around the Pre-Budget Report this autumn.
However, most people agree that one thing about the announcement is certain: it means the start of the election campaign is imminent.

With Substance
Mike Doughty's story isn't uncommon: Guy falls in love with alcohol and drugs, pushes through a major-label music career while still abusing alcohol and drugs, recovers and survives to tell the tale. But what is special about Doughty's experience is how he tells it.
In The Book of Drugs, the memoir from which the author and musician will read tonight at the Fox Theatre, Doughty unearths his dangerous and depressing past and lets his audience dig deeper. He will read from the collection of anecdotes, play songs from his latest solo album, Yes and Also Yes, and then give the audience free rein to ask questions about his dark musical past.
"I came into it wanting to tell an addiction story without any bad-assery to it," Doughty says, noting that when it comes time for the Q&A portion of his show, the audience usually wants the dirt on the decimation of his mid-'90s radio-friendly band Soul Coughing. The author promises to indulge the gossip; just don't ask him to sing any songs from his Soul Coughing days.
The Mike Doughty concert, reading and Q&A begins tonight at 9 p.m. at the Fox Theatre, 1135 13th Street, in Boulder; doors open at 8 p.m. Tickets for the all-ages event are $22 to $24, and can be purchased at 303-443-3399 or www.foxtheatre.com.

albino/white rn dove question
I currently own 3 dark wild typew ring neck doves. the other day a white dove came to my feeders. he is banded and very tame so i caught him...lucky for him cuz the next day we had severe storms. I posted signs but no one came forward to claim him. anyhow my question is what color is an albino ring necks eyes. his eyes are deep deep redish brown. they almost look black. can you defintetly tell an albino eye from a normal white dove eye ? are they like a mouse and be very light pink ? I know he is a boy already....my girls love him.
I got some white pigeons that come to my balcony that have(like you said cathy)dark brownish redish eyes, that look black when u look at them from far away, when they are in the sunlight their eyes look red(so beautiful) i don't know why they have these coloured eyes they don't look albino (i mean they got black spots all over them or at least on their backs..??
i've been wondering about them, maybe someone could clearify this too?
I am pretty sure that he is in fact a dove and not a pigeon unless the pigeons do the male " Bow Coo". I think someone must have used him for a wedding/funeral release or just got tired of feeding him. My older female ring neck has allowed him to breed with her. I myself have never seen white pigeons. well to be perfectly honest i have never seen a white dove in the wild either. I have tons of mourning doves that i ground feed in my back yard and they dont even mind my 2 pug dogs.
In my area there are tons of white pigeons, just plain white and some with black tails (very nice) i don't know where they came from but i now see many pied ones which i guess came from the white ones breeding with the other types....i got this beautiful white one(with red eyes,pink beak and patches of black and gray) nesting on my balcony, her eggs hatched afew days ago and the babys are soooo cute( i don't think they will turn out white cuz the father is a solid darkblue spread)
[This message has been edited by maryco (edited June 06, 2002).]
White pigeons and doves can be bred for their colour....they aren't necessarily albino.
I have white doves....two have yellowish eyes, two have reddish eyes. My brown dove has brown eyes....
We have white pigeons (Cathy...if you want to see white pigeons, go to www.wingsdamour.com). We use them for weddings.....to hear that someone might have used a dove for that really burns my a**.....
Our "doves" are white homing pigeons....carefully raised and trained, and return home for a nice meal and bath after each "job". They are never released in bad weather, etc. My ringnecks are used only in cage displays....NEVER let out! (In fact, I put a small gold lock on the cage...so that they can't even accidentally be released.)
ok...I'm done my rant now.
oh, and yes, male pigeons do the "bow and coo"....but their coo is very different from a dove's. Cathy, if you have doves, then you would know for sure that this is truly a dove, not a pigeon...they do look quite different.
White Wings is right,an all white pigeon doesn't always mean it's albino, if you think about it, albino's are rare is all species of animals so you are pretty lucky to see one in the wild, there is a color in pigeons called Recessive White, if it is a Rec. White it will have black eyes...
If you see any all white pigeons with normal colored eyes it is usually just a pied bird, or a homo. grizzle...
I bet all or almost all of White Wings birds have black or dark colored eyes.(right?)

yup, all the whites have dark eyes....referred to as "bull eye" in the "business" LOL
There is actually a strain of whites though, that have red/orangey/yellowy eyes. Sions, maybe? I don't recall for sure....
Yes,I've heard of that starin of white birds but it was proven that they were only grizzles, on ash-red(I think?)

thank you everyone who replied. I know now that he is a normal white dove and not albino. i cant wait to see what sort of colored offspring he will produce. According to Dr. Wilmer when i emailed him he said if he is bred to a normal dark type female the offspring will be normal white females and dark type males. I hope so cuz he is sooooooooooo beautiful. I find it hard to believe that someone would release him for weddings or just get tired of feeding him and turn him loose. that is a death sentence for him. But he is very happy and healthy now and doesnt want no part of the outdoors. upon some research i found 2 people here in Connectcut that use white doves for realease. they never mentioned white pigeons.

G'day Beekeepers,
I live in Maryborough Queensland Australia. One of my hobbies is beekeeping.
I know this is a US website but it is great to be able to ask questions about beekeeping with interested people. Aussie is on the otherside of the world so your summer is our winter. Queensland does not have a cold winter and we are able to collect honey all the year around. We are just coming into our spring so I am preparing my hives for the summer honey flow.
I am retired I have 20 hives. I was having a problem with the Small Hive Beetle that was intruduced from S. Aftica. I have made up traps that have reduced the beetles so that they are no longer a problem.
O K I have intruduced myself to 1000s of you simular beekeepers.
Cheers Aussie Pom

Will The Bond Market And The Fed Desert Clinton?by
President Clinton strode into 1993 with big economic plans and two key allies: falling long-term interest rates and a friendly Federal Reserve. Now, the bond market, thoroughly disillusioned, has pushed long rates back up. And the Fed appears to be holding a cocked pistol, ready to fire off a hike in short-term rates at the slightest provocation from the price indexes.
It's a combination guaranteed to make the White House shudder. The Administration needs low interest rates to offset the fiscal drag from its proposed deficit reduction. Otherwise, it risks a sour economy--or even recession--in 1994, when the raft of new taxes needed to pay for its economic program starts to kick in.
Little wonder then that consumers continue to lose faith in the future (chart). That probably reflects the fear that higher taxes will rob income in an unsettled job climate. And the uncertainty over the future of the Administration's budget proposals has put business in a bind. For example, durable-goods orders were flat in April, suggesting some hesitancy at ordering big-ticket items, although retailers' efforts to work down inventories is also holding back factory demand.
The situation, however, is not as bad as it looks. Households may say they are downbeat, but sales of cars and homes are holding up. The bond market's worries about inflation are exaggerated, as are its fears that Clinton's budget package is about to explode. And finally, it seems highly unlikely that the Fed is about to embark on a major campaign to tighten monetary policy.
To be sure, the Fed cannot ignore recent signs of faster inflation, if only to maintain its credibility in the financial markets. Indeed, following a recent report in the business press, speculation is rife that the Fed shifted its policy predisposition at its May 18 meeting to one of tightening from that of steady-as-she-goes.
The central bank has not issued such a directive in four years. It usually gives Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan the authority to hike the federal funds rate by as much as half a percentage point, if warranted. But the economic fundamentals argue overwhelmingly that the recently unruly price indexes will settle down.
Nevertheless, all eyes will be on the May consumer price index, due out on June 15. A gain of 0.2%--a 2.4% annual rate--or less would clearly mean no tightening. But a rise of 0.4%--a 4.9% annual rate--would cause the Fed to pull the trigger. A 0.3% increase is the tricky call. Regardless of the number, the breakout between the total and the core indexes will sway any policy decision.
One thing that will not influence Fed policy is the recent surge in the money supply. The broad M2 measure jumped by $20.1 billion in the week ended May 10, after a $13.2 billion surge. The two-week gain was the second-largest on record.
The ups and downs in M2 have more to do with this year's anomalies in the flow of tax payments and refunds than with fundamental factors. Despite the surge, M2 remains below the Fed's growth targets (chart), as people shift funds out of small-time deposits, which are part of M2, and into stock and bond funds, which are not. Because of these distortions, the Fed says that it largely ignores M2's gyrations in the formulation of policy.
As for long-term interest rates, the bond market is worried that inflation is about to flare up and that Clinton's lack of political savvy will kill chances for deficit reduction. The rate on 30-year Treasury bonds now stands at about 7%, up from a low of 6.73% four weeks earlier. By the Administration's own measure, that robs the economy of almost $30 billion worth of stimulus.
New White House efforts at compromise, however, especially with members of its own party, are increasing the chances for a deficit-reduction package. Moreover, the eventual budget mix could be slanted more toward spending cuts and less toward tax hikes--more to the bond market's liking. A final budget plan will remove the uncertainty now plaguing business, and it will shore up households' flagging faith in the future.
Indeed, the month of May was anything but merry for consumers. The Conference Board's index of consumer confidence slid more than six points, to 61.5. The big tumble came in expectations for the future, which fell to 72.2 from April's 81.1. The prospect of paying more taxes--whether to fund deficit reduction or health care--is cutting into expected income growth.
Confidence has been sliding since December, but this may reflect declining trust in Clinton rather than in the economy. Indeed, sales of U.S.-made cars rose to an annual rate of 7.4 million in mid-May, the highest 10-day pace this year. The housing market also remains on solid ground. Sales of existing homes increased by 2.7% in April, to an annual rate of 3.46 million.
Certainly, jobs remain uppermost in the minds of consumers. The lackluster April employment report, released in early May, probably heightened worries about the economy's footing. The Conference Board reported that only 13% of those asked in May think there will be more jobs by yearend. That's the lowest reading on future hiring in more than a year.
But even here, perceptions may be worse than reality. A survey by Manpower Inc. suggests that hiring will pick up in the third quarter, although job growth in the West remains weak. And a Dun & Bradstreet Corp. survey of 5,000 businesses projects a gain of 2 million jobs this year, with most coming in the second half.
D&B says, however, that corporations with more than 25,000 workers plan, on average, to cut payrolls. Since layoff announcements by large companies generate headlines, the notion that hiring is weak may persist into next year, even as small concerns expand their payrolls.
Businesses may be reluctant to hire because the uncertainty of Washington policy makes the future so vague. That incertitude is probably hampering other decisions as well. Demand for big-ticket items is suffering. Durable-goods orders were unchanged in April, after a 3.4% decline in March. As a result, unfilled orders fell by 0.6%, to their lowest level in 41 2 years (chart).
New orders had soared in December, as corporations anticipated Clinton's proposed investment tax credit, now all but dead. Once burned, these companies will likely wait for the final budget details before ordering more capital goods. When the budget squabble is finished, perhaps by August, the drag on the economy will ease.
Ironically, Washington's attention to deficits in future years masks the improvement in fiscal 1993 finances. Through April, the 1993 deficit is running $10 billion below its total for the first seven months of 1992.
Rising tax receipts and a slowdown in outlays are stanching the red ink. Receipts in the first seven months are up by 4.4% from a year ago. Corporate tax payments have ballooned by 16.2%, thanks to the rebound in business profits. Outlays, meanwhile, are up just 2.1% from 1992. Low rates have cut interest payments by 1.6% this year, and defense spending has also declined.
Unfortunately, though, the improvement won't continue. Congress' refusal to fund the Resolution Trust Corp. has reduced outlays by $12.5 billion since October. Now, Congress is moving to approve more money for the thrift bailout. Those extra funds mean the 1993 deficit could very well total a shade over $300 billion. While that figure will still eclipse last year's record of $292.2 billion (chart), it will come in less than the White House's projection of a $310 billion shortfall.
So far, the Clinton Administration's Keystone-Kop approach to economic policy has alienated the financial markets and the voters who elected him. But Clinton's touchy-feely, conciliatory brand of politics may yet work, shoring up support for the President. And as long as inflation slows down again, the Fed will remain one of the most important Friends of Bill in Washington.

Carjacked: teacher threatened with screwdriver
Page Tools
A teacher has been threatened with a screwdriver and had her car stolen while leaving her school in Sydney's west, NSW Police say.
Police believe the carjacking was related to a separate pursuit that ended near the Fairfield school not long before the attack at 3.50pm yesterday.
The 25-year-old was walking to her red Holden Apollo when the man threatened her and demanded her keys, police said.
She threw the keys at the man and ran back to the school.
Police are now looking for a man of white/European appearance, about 180 centimetres tall, of thin build, with light brown crewcut hair, brown eyes and prominent cheekbones.
The same man is believed to have been seen with an accomplice in a stolen blue Toyota Lexcen sedan that crashed into a truck and a Nissan Skyline on Horsley Drive before the carjacking.

The Lola Quartet by Emily St. John Mandel
Genre: Fiction
Publisher: Unbridled Books
Publication Date: 2012
Pages: 279
Source: provided by the publisher through NetGalley
The Short Version:
Ten years after high school the four members of a jazz quartet (The Lola Quartet) discover that their lives are still inextricably enmeshed
Why I Read It:
I found Emily St. John's writing style intriguing and beautiful when I read her first book (The Last Night In Montreal) and while I didn't love that book I liked her writing and wanted to read more. The hint of mystery in the synopsis of this one sounded like something I'd like.
The Book:
From the publisher
Gavin Sasaki is a promising young journalist in New York City, until he's fired in disgrace following a series of unforgivable lapses in his work. It's early 2009, and the world has gone dark very quickly. The economic collapse has turned an era that magazine headlines once heralded as the second gilded age into something that more closely resembles the Great Depression. The last thing Gavin wants to do is return to his hometown of Sebastian, Florida, but he's in no position to refuse when he's offered a job by his sister, Eilo, a real estate broker who deals in foreclosed homes. Also, Eilo has shown him a photo of a ten-yearold girl who could be homeless and in trouble. The little girl looks strikingly like Gavin and has the same last name as his high school girlfriend, Anna, from a decade ago. Gavin—a former jazz musician, a reluctant broker of foreclosed properties, obsessed with film noir and private detectives and otherwise at loose ends—begins his own private investigation in an effort to track down Anna and their apparent daughter who, it turns out, have been on the run all these years.
My Thoughts:
As with her first book I find myself struggling to decide what I think about this book. Emily St. John Mandel's writing style is beautiful. She can create an intricate web of time and point of view shifts that make the narrative seem to swirl around a central point that is somewhere in the middle of the timeline of the story.
The writing had moments of beautifully written images and emotions but at the same time it all felt so distant to me. The characters are interesting and all of them are troubled but I just never found myself drawn in to any one of their stories.
I didn't mind the continually shifting point of view or time in the story and in fact I thought that was the strong point of the book. The jumps in time frame from the events of ten years ago to those of today are handled in such a way that the real story is doled out like puzzle pieces that gradually connect themselves to form the full picture. I tend to enjoy stories that are told this way if they are well done and it's definitely something that this author excels at. It was also the thing I liked about The Last Night in Montreal.
So in the end there were elements of this book that I liked a lot, but there were also elements that didn't quite work for me.
Rating 3.5/5

Remote start kit
i want to install a remote start on my 2003 jeep grand cherokee limited and was wondering how complicated it is. also, how do i know if i need a anti-theft bypass? any advice would be nice
Re: Remote start kit
Remote starters. if you arent good with electrical and comfortable in that aspect, they can be a headache. To find out if you need a bypass is to look at your key.
If the top of your key is black, you wont need a bypass.
If the top is grey, you have a chip and will need a bypass that will learn the code or to give up a key.
2004 Jeep, compustar, jdlpk
That page will give you all the wiring info you need, you have to go into the doors for lock and lock, but i think there is a way around that, havent done an older cherokee in a few months for a remote start.
Flashlogic - FLCAN
Is the info for the bypass. You will also need a special tool to program the bypass with the proper firmware.
Re: Remote start kit
I had to leave a spare key under the steering wheel for that. I installed a CompuStar starter/security system. I'm better than most when it comes to electronics but this took me the entire day to install. I only have the minimum the kit comes with there is so much more you can do too. But anyway all I needed was an extra key near the ignition to be able to auto start and I've had no problems for the 3 years I've had it.

Scientists Create Genetic Record of Threatened Bat Colonies
New York, NY —
A mysterious ailment called "White-nose syndrome" continues to decimate bat populations across the Northeast. So scientists have begun collecting tissue from infected caves, creating a genetic record of bat colonies that could vanish completely. As part of a collaboration with Northeast stations, Brian Mann of North Country Public Radio reports.

We'll probably see several reports over the next few days from analysts making financial estimates similar to the one out tonight from UBS Investment Research's John Janedis. He says the $400,000 a day cost from lost ads and retransmission consent fees is "minimal" for CBS, leading him to reiterate his "buy" recommendation for the stock. (He doesn't follow Time Warner Cable.) It was "all but inevitable" that the company would fail to reach an agreement with TWC over programming fees: Since retransmission consent deals often last five years or more, CBS "can't afford to take below market value given the inability to renegotiate terms." He urges CBS investors not to worry. The likely cost will amount to a penny a share for every two weeks — and "if history is a guide, this should be resolved in less than two weeks." He notes that there was "little impact on the stock price" in recent cases where a programmer's channels went dark on a pay TV system. "Our view continues to be that consumers have more loyalty to the content rather than the company which is responsible for distribution."
CBS Will Lose $400K Per Day From Time Warner Cable Black Out: Analyst
66 Comments
That seems like nothing compared to what TWC could lose. I already got a $20 credit for threatening to cancel. If the 3m subscribers did the same (which of course they didn't, but if they did)… I be other people got more than I did. This needs to come to a head quickly, for both parties. At least but the programming back on the air while this is settled to save both of yourselves money…. makes the most sense.
The question is…. How much does TWC pay for CBS? Since they aren't paying them, it could cost them less than money paid to annoyed subscribers. But we don't know how much is being charged.
I live in Dallas. The Dallas Morning News has run two articles regarding the $$ paid to TWC, collaborated staff w/ wire services. Should be unbiased. Articles state TWC pays $0.75 to $1 per customer per month. Assuming that rate is typical to all the affected cities and approx. 3,000,000 customers, works out to $100,000/mo loss for TWC just for CBS broadcast TV (not $400K). No way to get subscriber numbers for Showtime/TMC, but TWC website quotes $15/mo for ala carte Showtime package. Assuming 25% Showtime consumption of the 3,000,000 customers = $375,000/day. There is a separate fee deal in place with Showtime. That is NOT part of the current dispute other than the punitive "value" of ANNOYING TWC CUSTOMERS. Granted, TWC cannot collect the $375K + $100K per day. A lot of money for a CEO pissing contest!!
Forgot! Same articles report that CBS TV only is asking $1.00/customer/mo increase… not the 600% that the TWC TV ads claimed earlier in the "war".
twc paid .75 cents for cbs per customer. cbs now wants $6 per customer
I'm a Time Warner customer. It couldn't matter less to me that they've dropped CBS. I'll pick up the shows via the Internet or, more likely, just not bother. There's plenty of other quality programming out there for me to choose from.
if you have time warner cable for internet also and don't ask my how they know this but if you try to go to CBS.com and watch shows it comes up with a message saying you can't because your a time warner cable customer and shows a video about it
Yes, this is true. I was watching daytime shows on CBS.com and that no longer happens.
on the other hand TWC will lose about the same amount of goodwill. as if their customers already don't hate them enough.
CBS will rot your brain.
400k a day sounds significant to me. Can't imagine they or their investors would be ok with that.
I am a media buyer, and with full confidence, I can say that one :30 second commercial in Big Bang is over $400k… So pretty sure they are not sweating too much.
One :30 second commercial may well be over $400K, but how long will it stay at that if the advertiser isn't getting the audience reach they were promised?
They ARE sweating.
How do you think the NFL will feel about their product not getting the audience reach contracted?
400k/day isn't anything. Like Janedis forecasts, that's a lost of 1 cent per share for every 2 weeks. Big deal.
TWC will be hurt a lot more severely by this.
In the end, CBS will get a good price… and their stock will more than make up that pittance of a loss.
Good for CBS sticking it to TWC.
TWC can make up for this by giving up a lot of their tinier networks that virtually no one cares about and certainly wouldn't pay for.
You're a perfect example of why things like this keep happening.
I work for a major MSO – and I can tell you, CBS "sticking it" to Time Warner isn't CBS "sticking it" to Time Warner – it's CBS sticking it to *YOU*. Cable TV actually carries the least amount of profit to a cable company these days. Internet service and even landline phone service (yea, crazy, right?) carries more profit on a revenue unit basis than TV does, precisely because of the rising costs of content and retransmission agreements like this one. In order for TW to profit, it's a numbers game. Having more subs = more money, not more channels. It's all roughly the same content, yet the price keeps increasing. What exactly are CBS, NBC, et al doing to justify content literally being worth exponentially more than it was even five years ago?
CBS and NBC drive the majority of the views for Time Warner. By Time Warner having them, they give their users access to the best shows and sports out there. That's what they bring to the table. The issue is that TW is paying smaller broadcast companies more money than they are paying CBS. And between sports broadcasts and shows like Letterman, Big Brother, CSI, Price is Right, etc., they are driving most of the views that keep users watching TV and aren't even in the top 10 recipients of the programming fees paid out by Time Warner Cable.
Best shows and sports is, frankly, debatable. Lots of folks DON'T actually watch the networks – I talk to people that have radically different viewing habits. Yes, their revenue stream is up there and yes, they probably have the bulk of subscribers out there – but as far as what they're being paid versus other networks isn't really information that's readily available. Both parties like to keep the numbers hush hush, so that the customer doesn't figure out who's screwing who.
Agent — thank you.
"know it all" — You really think that "CBS and NBC drive the majority of views for Time Warner"? Seriously? You think people pay money each month to receive programming they can get for free with an antenna?
I do not work for an MSO and I do not particularly like Time Warner.
BUT I despise CBS in this case, speaking as a consumer and Time Warner subscriber.
I despise CBS because this sort of action will only lead to more expensive cable bills. I don't want to pay another $0.01 per month, I would much prefer fewer new programs on TV. Where is this money going… the NFL broadcast rights increased 60% in a 2011 deal, taking effect next season … How does that in any way benefit consumers? Who else is getting this money from us consumers?
Kudos to Time Warner on proposing A-la-carte pricing for CBS. I will not pay it because it is accessible free, OTA and I rarely watch CBS. But I like having options.
It would be much higher if it weren't during the summer doldrums! That said, I think it hurts in the long run. CBS may try and hold out until right before the Fall schedule starts unless TWC caves. Frankly, I hope TWC holds their ground. The whole concept of retransmission fees is ridiculous. Its free over the air but every other platform has to pay? Let them pull CBS forever…. I'll catch Big Bang Theory on one of the 5,000 channels showing their reruns:)
Yes, CBS is free over the air. But TWC charges subscribers to view CBS over their system. They don't charge them at cost. They charge for a profit. So, why shouldn't the programmer get a piece of that profit? It is still free over the air if you want to put up an antenna. But less than 10% of the viewing public wants to do that, so free over the air is meaningless when distributors charge for profit.
Here! Here! Apples & oranges. No way of knowing how much the markup is, but TWC pays CBS $1 per customer per month according the Dallas newspaper. CBS is merely asking $1 increase. Seems like an *opportunity* for TWC to INCREASE their profits by passing the marked-up increase along to their customers.
I agree, MSOs should not be allowed to make an economic profit off of retransmission of over the air channels.
The government should force all provides to offer OTA content via cable at a fixed and regulated price, much like electricity.
AND the programmer should lose all rights to use valuable airwaves if they do not want to participate.
If Time Warner were smart, they would buy Aereo. Les would jump out the window.
TWC is horrible. They deliver an inferior product but raise rates when they don't have to. This whole situation is a joke, but sadly, their customers are the ones getting the shaft.
I live in Dallas and have TV/fone/*15Mbs of bandwidth internet* package. I get *2.23Mbs* of bandwidth internet(14.8% of "potential"). Its *Just* good enough for email. Still working on the technical problem after months!
Why didnt TW Cable remove CBS nationwide? I live in upstate NY and can still watch it.
Your local CBS station is owned by someone other than CBS, and the station owners are being more reasonable about retransmission fees. The blacked-out stations are owned by CBS itself, rather than a third-party licensee. The core issue here is that CBS believes that Time Warner Cable should pay them substantially more than they have been for the CBS owned-and-operated stations.
The problem here is that cable TV (originally known as CATV, or Community Antenna Television) started out as a big antenna picking up over-the-air signals from a hilltop for areas with poor reception. Back then, you paid the cable company for the antenna, the wires, and the benefit of a better antenna signal. Somewhere along the way, the TV networks forgot that their business model is based on giving their signal away for free over the air and showing ads to pay for it. They decided that cable was "stealing" their signal and demanded fees for retransmitting the signal… even though cable was doing them a favor by giving them viewers they otherwise wouldn't have. Now that fewer people are watching network TV—or watching TV at all—they want more retrans fees to prop up their profits.
If CBS wanted back on TWC bad enough, they could do it tomorrow just by invoking the other half of the law that allows for retrans fees: instead of opting for "must pay", they could opt for "must carry". TWC would then be obligated to carry those stations in their viewing area even if they didn't want to, but TWC wouldn't have to pay a cent to CBS to do so.
The relationship between broadcasters and cable changed when cable systems became competitors for local and regional advertising dollars. When Basic cable networks started making ad time available for the local systems to sell, that's when things changed. Then, MSOs started buying the very cable networks, giving themselves the dual stream cash profits of monthly license fees and advertising-both national on the network, and on their local systems…this is where the disparity comes from. Which led to the restrans fee rules. A station can negotiate carriage for free, or a charge to system. As much as we all hate these huge, giant corporations that make billions each year, it isn't fair to take property belonging to someone and use it to turn a profit, and the owner gets nothing.
Thanks, Macwhiz, for the most coherent explanation for everyone out there…
Apparently Showtime offered to continue broadcasting while negotiations were ongoing. TIME WARNER SAID NO. They prefer to punish their subscribers, (who all hate them, by the way). If CBS et all (including Showtime) are the "bad" guys, why is TWC punishing their customers (many of whom will "bail" on TWC now) by not allowing the concession offered?
I don't watch 90% of the channels I am forced to pay for (especially CBS, NBC, CNN and their ilk).
I live in Charlotte, NC. and their customer service is terrible.
Doesn't CBS realize this makes THEM look extremely difficult. Whenever every other network can make a deal work EXCEPT them, that doesn't reflect poorly on TWC that makes CBS look greedy.
taking this shit to the people is bad form on both sides. both need to suck it the fuck up and figure out a way not to piss off customers.
The whole idea that the satellite/cable companies need to pay a "retransmission fee" for free over the air channels is ridiculous. They're bringing a significant number of viewers to those channels thus allowing them to charge higher ad rates. What the satellite/cable companies should do is get together and drop the over the air channels for 2 weeks and see just how bad those networks need the eyeballs that the satellite/cable companies bring to them. And don't tell me that people would just put up an antenna. This is 2013. No one uses a TV antenna anymore.
Not true, I know plenty of people that use an antenna here in Los Angeles. Why pay loads of money for a few TV shows? Makes sense to me.
Yes $400,000 a day is lots of money however were talking VIACOM/CBS
There loaded. WHen Paramount (which is a sister company of CBS) pays $200,000,000 to produce and market a film $400,000 is pennies to them
That $400K each day will equal the cost of the big budget move in less than two months. So, it is in fact a lot of money if the dispute lasts a while.
Unfortunately, cable companies are monopolies. I'd love to switch cable providers, but there is no real alternative in LA other than cord cutting. Living in apartment, I am not permitted to get DirectTV.
Good – take it out of Les' paycheck.
Those MF'ers even had the gall to erase all CBS-related stuff from my DVR. That seems to be crossing the line, taking previously downloaded stuff from the time even preceding this spitting match between the two leviathons, onto a drive I pay for. F them (whoever's at fault, but pox on both houses.) Also it's a great way for Showtime/CBS to scuttle the momentum of their hottest property Ray Donavan.
CBS gets about $0.88 – yes just 88 cents – per month per subscriber for Showtime from TWC. TWC was charging $13.97 per subscriber per month to its customers for Showtime. So whatever revenue CBS loses in this dispute in Showtime revenue TWC is losing about 15 times as much. Plus TWC is already losing customers as people are switching to other cable providers in droves. Another cable provider is offering new subscribers Showtime for less than $5.00 per month for the next year guaranteed. So TWC is the big loser in this standoff. People can watch CBS just by plugging an antenna into their TV. Who needs TWC?
I canceled my Showtime subscription the other day. I like Showtime , but TWC & CBS- both of you can pick my middle finger
Source for what CBS makes per customer from TWC for a showtime subscription?
They better be careful, there are now signs that cord-cutting is a real phenomenon: http://www.nytimes.com/2013/08/02/business/media/directv-and-time-warner-cable-lose-subscribers-but-revenues-rise.html
Cable and satellite might re-group around the more affluent consumers who make so much $$$, they don't even feel the price hikes. Netflix and Amazon for the 99%. Broadcast is screwed.
While some of those subscribers lost were due to cord-cutting, most of them were due to switching to AT&T U-verse or Verizon FiOS. Look at their earnings reports and see how many video subscribers they added.
Pays to not live in an urban area! TWC would never cut off my precious CBS! And if they did, I'd just switch over to my antenna! UTD tonight at 10!
I live I rural area but get CBS from NYC. Can't get a dish because of the mountains and trees, same problem with an antenna and there is no other provider in the are!
I would agree with you if the cable companies provided basic local OTA channels for free. They don't. It costs around $20/mo for that (not including the monthly rental fees and taxes for the box). Of course CBS should get paid.
I live in Dallas and I can get CBS on my antenna TV in another room. However, Showtime is another matter. How dare TWC take away showtime, which we pay a premium rate for, and deny us access to outstanding programs like Dexter and Ray Donovan. Get this mess straightened out soon TWC or your customer base is going to drop faster than Congress' approval rating!!!!
People still subscribe to cable tv?
It shocks me no one has said what is obvious: there are plenty of alternatives for watching the most popular CBS programming whether that be legal venues (Netflix, amazon prime, etc.) or illegal ones (eztv and tpb).
All this does is piss off the people that haven't cut the cord yet and encourage them to do so..
Rich people with rich people problems.
The MSO is always going to be considered the bad guy. If TWC gives in, they are the bad guy for increasing your bill. If TWC keeps this going to a while, they are the bad guy for not having your favorite show on the air.
Networks are not making the profits that they used to thanks to the invention of the DVR and alternative sources to programming such as Netflix. Drastically increasing rebroadcast fees is a way for them to make up the lost ad revenue.
What is going to happen is that the way we watch television is going to change drastically over the next few years.
Also, Cable MSO's are not the "monopolies" they used to be. In Los Angeles, you have a choice unless your landlord has signed an agreement with a particular MSO. If you can't have a dish, you more than likely have access to Verizon FIOs or AT&T U-Verse.
BOTH sides are being equally greedy —
CBS may be the #1 network TODAY, but that can always change. As usual, Les Moonves needs to get over himself!
And TWC saying they're "holding the line on rising costs for their customers"! PLEASE, the only thing that bugs them is it would prevent them from raising the cost later FOR NO REASON OTHER THAN LINING THEIR OWN POCKETS!
I pay a RIDICULOUS amount of money for TWC with NO premiere channels. So NOW instead of the shows I watch on CBS, I get to choose from "Duck Dynasty", "Storage Wars", "Sharknado", and "Spongebob". I think I'll go read a book!
[as a side note, the background of "Big Bang Theory" on this article…planned or ironic???]
Megabytes != Megabits. You are getting EXACTLY what you are paying for. Every ISP calculates the MAB/s (maximum available bandwidth per second) the same way. This comment reaks of unintelligible ignorance.
Dallas TWC subscriber here. We are fully on Time Warner's side. CBS broadcasts OTA for the price of F-R-E-E — hook up a $10 rabbit ear antenna and enjoy all of CBS's crystal clear HD content, for free, no cable box required.
CBS is trying to line its pockets at the direct expense of TWC subscribers. CBS own financial records show they expect to quadruple revenue from this type of rebroadcast fee. This gives a lot of credibility to TWC when it claims CBS seeks a 600% increase, and CBS digs the hole deeper by refusing to counter that number and only issuing platitudes like "we will charge what is appropriate for our awesome content!"
TWC could keep CBS dark forever for all I care. I don't watch CBS, and even if I did, I can get it free OTA like everyone else can.
Go TWC, don't let up!

The shoulder is a complicated joint that allows an incredible range of motion. The shoulder joint consists of the humeral head (ball) and the glenoid (socket).
The labrum is a small rim of cartilage that acts to deepen the glenoid and keep the shoulder from dislocating. At the top part of the glenoid, one of the two biceps tendons originates off the labrum and runs along the top of the humeral head and into the arm.
Injuries to the superior labrum are very common, especially in throwers and active athletes. These injuries are commonly called "SLAP" tears (Superior Labrum Anterior and Posterior). Injuries either occur from repetitive activity such as throwing or serving in tennis, or from a fall onto the shoulder. Labral injuries are commonly seen along with shoulder separations as well.
Patients with labral tears often complain of pain with overhead activity, pain with lifting heavy objects, and inability to perform well in sports.
The diagnosis of labral tears is made by the patients' history and physical exam. An MRI is often performed to confirm the diagnosis, and can be very helpful in determining the type of labral injury. The MRI is usually performed with a small amount of dye placed into the joint (arthrogram).
Labral tears are classified by type:
I. Fraying of the superior labrum, often degenerative
II. Detachment of the superior labrum with biceps anchor attached
III. Bucket handle tear of the superior labrum with the biceps anchor intact
IV. Bucket handle tear of the superior labrum with the biceps anchor attached
The initial treatment of SLAP tears is usually with rest, ice, and gradual resumption of activities with the assistance of physical therapy. Many people with SLAP tears get better with a period of rest and rehabilitation.
In those people who continue to have pain that limits their ability to do sports or interferes with daily activities, then surgery can be recommended. Repair of SLAP tears is performed arthroscopically, and is performed on an outpatient basis. After surgery, the shoulder is placed in an immobilizer for approximately 4 weeks to allow the repair to heal. Physical therapy is started at this time, and return to sports takes approximately 4-6 months.

|Winter storm FREYR
Christmas was scary this year. I woke up Tuesday morning and found that the entire left side of my body was numb - from the top of my head down to my toes. After fretting about it for a couple of hours, I called my GP and she told me to get to the emergency room right away. Well, okay. But I wasn't enthused about it. Luckily my neighbor was home and he drove me there.
Long story short, after 5 HOURS in the ER waiting for a doctor, I was admitted for observation and discharged the next day. All they did was rule out stroke and heart attack. As for the continuing random numbness? "You'll have to follow up with your own doctor...." My doctor, of course, didn't know WHAT to make of it so she had sent me to the hospital, remember? They didn't care. Hospitals today aren't like on TV. They don't really seem to care about sick people.
The numbness is random all over my body and usually occurs when I'm either sleeping or resting/sitting down. While I'm active I seem to be okay. Tuesday morning I was scared to death. I'm still scared, but right now I'm just flippin' angry at the cavalier attitude the hospital showed for my condition. They couldn't discharge me fast enough after they ruled out stroke. Heck, they didn't even bother to wheel me off the floor and downstairs like they used to. Nope. I had to carry all my stuff and hoof it out of the hospital myself. For a hospital named MERCY, it sure didn't have much of THAT to go around. Pah!
So now I have to pursue this issue on my own. My doctor suggests a neurologist take a look. Or an endocrinologist. Or some other -ologist. Can she recommend someone? No. %$#@*!
Why stop there? Why not a faith healer or witch doctor? How can they be any worse than our great American medical profession? *sigh* Well, at least I'm angry. Angry is better than being scared any day of the week. Christmas was a bust and the New Year is not starting out well.
Oh look. Another winter storm to clean up after to boot. Euclid socked me at the hospital and it needed a neighbor with a jeep to get me home. Freyr (who comes up with these winter storm NAMES?) dumped 6" of snow last night. I've been digging out since this morning. Oh well, I'm sure the exercise is good for me, right? One thing for sure, I won't be asking advice from any d^mn doctor!

Cold weather and growing sales mock death of fur
By Eva Lamppu
HELSINKI (Reuters Life!) - In a warehouse outside of Helsinki hundreds of buyers gathered to bid in a three-day auction of mink, fox and other furs just before Christmas.
Any worries about the ailing global economy, the threat of global warming, or the fading popularity of fur as fashion were firmly left outside to chill in the snow.
Bidding was brisk, and by the end of the auction all pelts were sold, compared to sales of only 30 percent of stock last year. Organizers said sales roughly tripled to 39.5 million euros ($57.3 million) against last year, with prices up -- by a third on average -- since an auction in September.
"Demand and supply are in a good balance, and there is maybe slight overdemand, which supports price levels," said Chief Executive Pertti Fallenius of Turkistuottajat, which says it is the world's only publicly listed fur auctioneer.
While the fur market looks to be challenging in the coming years, weighed by a variety of factors including increasing social pressure against its use, the auction clearly showed that any talk of fur's death is greatly exaggerated.
And the industry has certainly got a boost from the recent cold snap that has dumped snow on many countries across the Northern hemisphere.
Fallenius said one reason behind the recent uptick in the market has been a cut in output from China, which since early 2000 had sharply hiked fur production, pressing prices. Continued...

EXCLUSIVE: Schalke midfielder Kevin Boateng in brawl with teammate Papadopoulos
Schalke midfielder Kevin-Prince Boateng lost his cool against teammate Kryakos Papadopoulos following a nasty challenge on Jefferson Farfan at training, GHANAsoccernet.com can exclusively reveal.
The 25-year-old was unhappy with the tackle of the Greek international on fellow teammate Farfan, leaving him injured on the ground.
The Ghanaian international, who is seen as leader at the club, confronted Papadopoulos in an angry manner which forced the other teammates to step in from escalating.
The former AC Milan man did not understand why Papadopoulos was so hard on his colleague in training.
GHANAsoccernet.com can reveal that the manager Jens Keller was forced to stop the exercise by calling the two players to remain calm.

spellBOUND says:February 17, 2014 05:57 pmhahaha, u dont think papadopoulos wants to play? he's a bench warmer. if someone if injured, he gets closer to playing. i'm just speculating...
21guns says:February 17, 2014 06:04 pmThe coach should do something about this,we cant afford to lose boateng he is one of the experience players in our team
Smoking Columbia says:February 17, 2014 06:28 pmhahahaha: Anthony Annan is just looking on with his hands behind him.
Adebayo says:February 17, 2014 06:28 pmKPB has a point here. Farfan is the best player at the club at the moment and he may be irreplaceable for a while!
lion-fire says:February 17, 2014 06:57 pmSame guy, Kevin, who injured ballack. He knows the Germans will keep saying that
spellBOUND says:February 17, 2014 07:18 pmlol yea hes saying let these fools fight and get benched. it may free up some room for me in the lineup..
asenegal says:February 17, 2014 07:33 pmSpellbound if u dont know ur facts, pls dont speak. Who told u papadopoulos is a bench warmer. 4 ur info. He plays in every schalke game n even arsenal, liverpool wanted 2 but him
Fiifi, Berlin says:February 17, 2014 09:46 pmAnthony Annan knows why he is just looking on! When he first arrived at Schalke , he had to fight with Papadoupoulos for his position in middlefield! Magath was then favouring Anthony Annan till Magath was sacked ! The fight for places excalated resulting in a brawl between this same Papadoupoulos and Annan! During this brawl Papadoupoulos's ear mistakingly found its way between Anthony's teeth while Papadoupoulos gave Anthony a knock on his and Anthony also BIT Papa's oyibo ears very hard!! That started the whole problems for Anthony Annan ! By that time Magath was no more there to protect him!Since KPB arrived at Schalke the fortunes of Anthony Annan has risen, because KPB has been supporting him this has made the coach also start paying more attention to Anthony and trying to give him more playing time. Anthony has put his hands behind him, because, otherwise he would also join in the brawl and give Papa some jabs!The brawl was NOT JUST A BRAWL, THERE IS MORE BEHIND WHAT HAPPENED!!! Tip: Remember KPB's and Annan's positions in the BS at the WC 2010 at South Africa!
spellBOUND says:February 17, 2014 11:30 pmaeeei, fiifi berlin, u sneaky bastard. lol. u sound like the quiet kid in a classroom who knows more than he lets on. hahahaha. thanks for the background details though.... this papadoupolous seems like he's a troublemaker aint he???
spellBOUND says:February 17, 2014 11:33 pmchale i do apologize for not taking this story as serious as my day time job....aaaaah, ive watched my share of schalke games, and haven't seen this guy start... granted he comes off the bench in some occations, but i haven't watched when he was in the starting lineup..... again i apologize to u my good sir for my ignorance... smh
Ghanaman says:February 18, 2014 12:11 amWorry about Nigeria PLEASE!!!
Fiifi, Berlin says:February 18, 2014 12:11 amspellBOUND, hmmm this is not a joke ooohhh! I'll try to find the article in the archives and post it on this forum! Please believe me , also the ear that went the wrong way!!!
Fiifi, Berlin says:February 18, 2014 12:33 amGelsenkirchen - Schrecksekunde für Kyriakos Papadopoulos: In einem Luftduell mit Anthony Annan prallte der griechische Youngster am Dienstag (19.4.) mit seiner Hand an die Zähne seines ghanaischen Mitspielers, woraufhin er das Training mit schmerzverzerrtem Gesicht abbrechen musste. "Es ist wohl nichts Ernstes", erklärte Chef-Trainer Ralf Rangnick nach der Übungseinheit. "Kyriakos hatte starke Schmerzen an der Hand, deshalb hat er das Training vorsichtshalber abgebrochen." This is the article in the German papers -VERY SORRY IT WAS NOT THE EAR BUT RATHER THE HAND-(All the same strong african teeth proved its power) The incident happened in 2011 on the 19. April. The above-report only reported that they had a clash when they collided in midair and Papadoupoulos had to quit training on that day, iam still trying to find the news report with the brawl between the two!
Fiifi, Berlin says:February 18, 2014 12:49 amspellBOUND here is the report in GSN in 2011: "Ghana midfielder Anthony Annan in the centre of another biting incident Posted On Thursday, 21st April 2011 Ghanaian midfielder Anthony Annan has been involved in another biting incident but this time against his own Schalke team-mate Kyriakos Papadopoulos. Anthony Annan is at the centre of another biting incident, this time in Germany Ghanaian midfielder Anthony Annan has been involved in another biting incident but this time against his own Schalke team-mate Kyriakos Papadopoulos. The German club suffered the bizarre training-ground injury scare to whizkid Papadopoulos, who had his hand hurt by team-mate Anthony Annan's TEETH. It forced the Greek defender, 19, out of training. Schalke boss Ralf Rangnick said: "He had severe pain in the hand, so he cancelled the workout as a precaution.†It is the latest misfortune to hit the Bundesliga outfit ahead of Tuesday's semi-final first leg in Gelsenkirchen........"
Rita Buah says:February 19, 2014 10:23 pmEiiiiiii! hahahahahahahhahahaaaaaaaaaaa... i have never laughed this hard. Bro. Fiifi, if i may ask, are you a schalke fc player to give all this information or is Anthony Annan your relative? hahahahhaaaaaaaaaaa.

Nice park with large pull thru sites. Good grass areas and walkways around the park. Many sites have view of the lake. Most sites and Water and electric only, but after staying there we found some full hookup sites. Easy off the highway and good roads.
Date of Stay: May, 2016
This park is Excellent, I mean EXCELLENT. The park is very well laid out with large sites, nice trees and grass areas. Park staff were helpful with park info. Laundry and bathrooms were spotless. One of the best features is the internet worked very well with good speed all the time. We had rain and thunder storms, internet still worked well, maybe the best I have had in any park we have stayed.
Date of Stay: April, 2016
We stayed 9 nights and got the monthly rate, which was a good deal. We had an issue on check in, someone was in our site and had left it there for a week. The park upgraded our site for the same price, so it was good in the end. They tried hard to make it right. Grounds are clean, bathrooms and pool area was very good also. We use the event center several times, also very nice. They would have got a 10 if the internet had worked, we used our Verizon hot spot, used a lot of our data plan. Internet needs an upgrade. We will back to this park.
Date of Stay: April, 2016
This is a nice park that was clean and the staff was very nice. They are just focused on other issues. First, they want to sell everyone a RV lot in the park, not my style. Second, their pet policy was just over the top bad with all kinds of restrictions. Third, the internet is useless even for e-mail. We need internet for our work and this one just does not work. The park was less than half full, so on a big weekend it would be worse. We will not be returning.
Date of Stay: August, 2015
This is a good campground right on the beach. Clean and well maintained. Our site was in the back of C loop, but still well worth it.
Date of Stay: August, 2015
Benbow has changed to a KOA campground, but little has changed. There are many permanent trailers, that look run down. Yes, there is a good golf and a new kids play ground. The Internet is not useable; INTERNET IS IMPORTANT and they just don't get it. Our site was next to a perm trailer and was not well kept.
Date of Stay: August, 2015
Overall nice park, they just do not get some of the extra's campers are looking for. Our site was level with small grass picnic table and fire pit, all good. We have two dog's and the pet areas were very poor and too small. The internet was to slow and did not work the last day at all. INTERNET IS IMPORTANT!!! An internet password 5th#3N*QP%6 and then it does not work 3 or 4 times in a row.
Date of Stay: March, 2015
Wow, one of the nicest parks we have been too in a long time. Big concrete pads, that are well spaced from the next site. Lots of room for walking and biking with the kids. The view of Lake Powell is outstanding, yes the water level is down some but still very nice. Were we there in early spring weather in the 70's, the lake still cold but fun. We liked the back in site vs. the pull-thru area better as we stayed 4 nights.
Date of Stay: March, 2015
The park has a great location on the Virgin River in town, walking distance to Zion park entrance and all of town activities. Sites are average in size, but everything worked well. Access to the river was fun for our dogs and kids. We were early in the season and they were fixing/repairing many things, but all done in a professional way. We will come back.

The park is old, very old. The sites are very close together. We made two reservation for 2 days then 3 days, the office made us move across because it was too difficult for them to not do so. Very poor customer service, they just did not care. Our 50 amp only had a 30 amp plug, so poor. We would not come back.
Date of Stay: October, 2014
I am sorry to say that we were very disappointed with park and management. We called for reservation and asked about permanent residences at the park and we told only staff. This is not true, more than half the park is full time there and the sites look like it. I wanted a campground, not a trailer park and there is a big difference in cleanliness and type of clients. We were going to stay 3 nights but left early, wife just not comfortable there. We will not go back.
Date of Stay: August, 2010
Maple Leaf is a large clean park that is well set up. It has easy access to shopping, restaurants and 101 fwy, but not noisy. There are two issues, the internet was extremely slow, basic not usable. And, there are many permanent spots with farm workers. This would not be an issue for me, but our first night we watched the police take our neighbor away in handcuffs. There were 3 police cars, too much drama for me. The wife does not want to go back.
Date of Stay: August, 2010
This Park is right on the North end of Clearlake which could be great, but it is not so. The lake is green, the park is mostly dirt and sites are small. The park manager warned us about vandalism in the area and we should lock everything up. Just not a good feeling overall. We stayed one night and explored the lake, but did not find any real nice places to stay in Nice.
Date of Stay: July, 2010
The park is clean and well organized. Check in was fast and friendly. The park is next to hwy 5, but noise was not a big problem. The sites are very tight, with many motorhomes hot having their slides out. The internet was on the slow side, with modest signal strength. We would find another park next time.

Liquid hand soap in many public toilets is doing the opposite of improving hygiene, CCTV reports.
One sample was found to have 600 times more than the standard amount of bacteria, bringing it up to fast food ice levels of grossness. Experts warned that use of the soap could result in skin irritation and even septicaemia.
