Colo. tourism industry won't promote pot
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - Love it or hate it, Colorado's budding marijuana industry is changing the way people view the Centennial state.
There was the Superbowl quip -- the two states that legalized marijuana competed head to head for the Vince Lombardi Trophy -- complete with memes and jokes on every talk show.
There was the Spirit Airlines ad that read, "The no smoking sign is off (in Colorado). Get 'mile high' with $10 off your next flight."
But according to the Colorado Springs Convention & Visitor's Bureau, the new image hasn't affected tourism and it's not promoting pot.
"There's this huge misconception that there's usage and we're the new Amsterdam and that couldn't be further from the case," said Chelsy Murphy, director of communications for the CVB. "The only way we encourage people to get high is to go up Pikes Peak or hike the Manitou Incline."
Still, it's hard to deny the fact that people are coming to Colorado for cannabis, whether it be recreational or medicinal.
Jordan Stanley and his brothers grow a strain of cannabis known as "Charlotte's Web." It's been attributed to helping children with seizures.
"We have people contacting us, sometimes 500 calls a week, people all over the world, all over the country who are interested in helping their child," Stanley said.
A woman visiting from Wyoming told KRDO NewsChannel 13 that she believes Colorado's reputation has improved since legalizing marijuana and that even if people are visiting for pot, it just enhances tourism to its other attractions.
But there may be a flip side to the reefer reputation.
KRDO NewsChannel 13 has reported several incidents of license plate profiling. Law enforcement from other states are said to be stopping cars with Colorado plates just to check for marijuana.
Michael Abuzeide, a Colorado resident, said he's noticed a shift in Colorado's reputation, but believes people aren't just visiting Colorado to get pot.
"Marijuana is not the first thing on anyone's mind," Abuzeide said. "Even avid pot enthusiasts don't care about it more than anything else. People come to Colorado to snowboard, to ski, to hike, to fish. There's so many activities. You will never show me a bud that takes my breath away the way that the high Rockies or the Garden of the Gods or any part of Colorado does."
Pueblo Chamber of Commerce also said it doesn't promote marijuana tourism or keep track of how many people are visiting just for marijuana.
What do you think? Has marijuana legalization changed the image of Colorado? Do you think it will affect tourism? Leave us a comment in the section below.

Chinese cooking, like most of Asia, focuses first on a starch like rice or noodles, then adds an accompaniment of meat or seafood, rather than meat first, starch and vegetables second, as found in European-influenced cuisines. Recipes in China are as diverse as the language, with its 80,000 characters, and Chinese immigrants have brought this complex culinary heritage to almost every region of the world.
Shell and devein shrimp. Rinse and pat dry; set aside.
Combine wine, salt, cornstarch, and egg white in a small bowl. Mix well and set aside.
In another bowl, mix together the wine, soy sauce, salt, pepper, oil, cornstarch, water, and broth; set aside.
Heat 4 tablespoons of oil in a wok over high heat. Stir fry shrimp for about 1 minute; do not overcook. Remove shrimp and place in a bowl. Add remaining 2 tablespoons of oil and heat for 1 minute. Stir fry green onions and ginger root slices for 1 minute. Add sauce and cook until it thickens slightly. Add shrimp and coat with sauce. Remove from heat. Discard ginger root. Sprinkle on cashews before serving. Serve hot.

Marshall Goldsmith has an interesting observation in this month's Fast Company (print edition): Can you listen?
He gives the example of what differentiates great leaders like attorney David Boies: he knows how to listen.
Here's a way of testing yourself:
Sit in a quiet place, close your eyes, and count slowly up to 50. If you can listen to yourself only counting and not thinking of anything else, you might possibly be a good listener.
Can you sit still enough to listen?

I had 4 sessions of fraxel. After the first session I was left with some small horizontal lines under the eye sockets, which my physican said they would come out after my second or third treatment, but they did not. After my fourth session I developed lots of very unsightly tiny white bumps that run along the bone of the eye socket. These bumps have small amounts of fluid in them. I do not want to try and get rid of them by squeezing them is there anything I can do to get rid of them?
Post-Fraxel Treatments. Lots of Tiny White Lumps Around My Eye Sockets - What Can I Do?
Doctor Answers 1
Bumps on eyelids after Fraxel
before doing anything potentially destructive, I agree you shouldn't squeeze these bumps on your eyelids. Are they milia, which are microscopic cysts, or enlarged sweat glands called syringoma or apocrine hidrocystoma? What you have may be temporary. Sometimes a prescription of tretinoin may help reduce milia. If your laser sessions were within the last few months, you may find that patience will allow time to make them go away.

In my conversation with airline executives, I often emphasize my belief that an airline's brand is what it does, not what it says it does. And Virgin America in the US is proving to be very good at delivering their brand promises – that of presenting the customer a new way to fly.
I've written in the past that Virgin America is good at living up to a highly-differentiated brand positioning. Be it Sir Richard Branson or the zingy flight attendants. Be it the smaller-than-usual boarding passes or the in-flight safety video. All elements enforce a strong Virginisque brand personality, and it is this which continues to linger in the customers' minds long after they leave the plane.
Here's a true account of a passenger who's comparing her flights from Boston on Virgin America and Delta, and you can clearly tell why Virgin America is a clear-cut winner – because of their impeccable brand delivery.
I recently had the chance to experience both the new Virgin America and Delta Airlines, on flights to and from Boston to LAX and Boston to Atlanta to New Orleans, respectively. Despite differences in weather conditions, flight times, delays, etc. I have to say I am ecstatic about the future of air travel, and now realize why Delta and other major carriers have found themselves nearing bankruptcy year after year.
I won't get into specifics about why my Delta experience was so horrid, but I will say, that it's no wonder why passengers have become increasingly more frustrated with big airlines and have chosen to try out newer, discount airlines. Also, in hindsight, if I had flown to New Orleans on Virgin America, I am positive that I would have had an enjoyable flight, despite any delays.
Like many others, I don't fly well and tend to get a little anxious during flight. To my complete surprise, Virgin provided the most calming atmosphere while waiting to board and while in flight. Their boarding staff was cool, calm, friendly, and engaging as soon as we entered the gate (after it took only 15 minutes to travel from Beacon Hill through Logan security!!). The boarding process was just as easy as the online seat selection. The flight attendants made all the passengers feel at home, while swanky background music played and dim purple and red lights gleamed as we took their seats-in comfortable spacious leather seats.
The best part of the flight, which really sets the airline apart from all others–even Jet Blue–is Red, Virgin America's in flight entertainment. Red kicks off with a witty video about in flight safety, which honestly puts all other hokey seat belt demonstrations to shame. Besides Wi-Fi access, the system offers numerous movies for purchase, TV shows, radio, games (touch screen and controller based), and a make your own playlist option. Furthermore, you can browse and order meals, snacks and beverages right from your seat, delivered promptly by the attentive staff.
Virgin's slogan, This is How to Fly, really says it all. I don't know how we ever expected anything less. Even if Virgin didn't have such amazing low fares (I flew to LA for only $99 each way!) I would still opt to fly Virgin over another major carrier…now that's value & brand equity!
So, what do you think? What is it that makes the Virgin America brand so special? What can other airlines learn from this airline that's creating waves in the US? Let's hear it in the comments.

Wichita State University representative wins for her initiative to increase diversity in engineering.
Airbus, the leading aircraft manufacturer, and the Global Engineering Deans Council (GEDC), the leading international organisation for engineering education, have selected Ana Lazarin from Wichita State University (WSU), USA for the inaugural GEDC Airbus Diversity Award. It was announced on 21 October 2013 at the Art Institute of Chicago during the GEDC annual conference.
Ana Lazarin was recognised for her outreach, recruitment and retention programs which have increased the number of under-represented minority students in the College of Engineering at WSU by 91% over the last 5 years.
The award was created by Airbus and the GEDC to recognise individuals who have been proactive in encouraging students of all profiles and backgrounds (regardless of gender, social backgrounds, nationality, culture or disability) to study and succeed in engineering. The long term objective is to ensure that the engineering industry reflects the diversity of the communities it supports, with diversity recognised as a driver for innovation which is essential for future growth.
"At Airbus we have some 100 nationalities, and over 20 languages are spoken among our 59,000 employees. This diversity helps to foster the innovation and performance which are essential for our industry" said Charles Champion, Airbus Executive Vice President Engineering. "All three finalists have delivered inspiring programmes which are making a real difference. Their personal engagement is impressive and reflects our commitment at Airbus to welcome more diversity into our workforce."
Sarah Rajala, Dean of Engineering at Iowa State University and GEDC Chair added "the strong demand for engineers globally means that industry must attract and secure an increasingly diverse talent pool. We hope that more educators will be inspired to take up the challenge as Ana has done, to ensure that engineering graduates reflect the society in which we live, work and teach."
Ana Lazarin will receive 10,000 USD to support her continued work in this field, with 1,500 USD going to two other finalists from University of Notre Dame, USA and University of Seville, Spain.
An evaluation committee led by Charles Champion and comprising experts from academia and industry met the finalists in Chicago and selected the award recipient. In addition to the financial reward Ana will be a VIP guest of Airbus during the coming year, to visit one of their major production sites and meet with Airbus executives.

You can file a fee dispute complaint with the state Bar. I saw some info for the Chicago area on the process. The actual process is likely to be similar in all of IL, but where you file may vary by county. Make a call to your local Bar Association and inquire about fee dispute services. You do not have to go into detail about your complaint over the phone.
I would first try to resolve this one informally with her. It looks like we are talking about a couple of billable hours of attorney services, not Fort Knox, in terms of what you might owe here.
The other issue, of course, is whether you have an ongoing need for her services. You may not endear yourself to your attorney if you go straight to the state Bar with this one (which is why I suggest that you try an informal resolution first). You might need to consider a new attorney for any further issues that may arise in your case as a fee complaint probably will not help your relationship with your attorney on an ongoing basis. .
On the other hand, if the case is over, then you may not be concerned about what she thinks.

In the almost 150 years since the Yale School of Art was established, a woman has never filled the position of dean—until now. President of Yale University Peter Salovey announced today that renowned curator Marta Kuzma will be the first female dean of the school. This news comes after last September's appointment of Deborah Berke as the first female dean of Yale's School of Architecture.
"I am confident that she will develop a distinctive vision for the Yale School of Art," Salovey said. "She has an appreciation for developing 'courageous' students, and recognizes the importance of new sensibilities and new contexts for the presentation of artists and art."
The curator, writer, and academic is currently vice chancellor and rector of the Royal Institute of Art in Stockholm.
With over twenty-five years of curatorial experience in the international contemporary art world, Kuzma has served as director of the Office of Contemporary Art Norway, artistic director of the Washington Project for the Arts in Washington DC, and as the head of the international exhibitions program at the International Center of Photography in New York City. She was also founding director of the Soros Center for Contemporary Art in Kiev.
Kuzma will succeed revered critic and curator Robert Storr, who has served as the dean of the nation's first art school since 2006. In an interview with the New York Times' Robin Pogrebin, Storr said "ten years is enough. More than enough."
Peter Blum Gallery in New York is relocating to a new 7,000-square-foot, second floor space downtown, Nate Freeman of Artnews reports. Located at 176 Grand Street, the gallery will open in September with an exhibition of works by John Zurier.
"After having been informed that our building on West Fifty-Seventh street, along with four neighboring buildings, will be torn down for another high rise, we looked at many different places and areas which would suit our needs for a substantial size gallery in an area which was not overrun and still felt like 'New York,'" director David Blum said.
The gallery first learned that it had to move out of its former home, which it shared with Washburn Gallery and Laurence Miller Gallery, in February. It also announced that it is now representing Miles Coolidge, Paul Fägerskiöld, and Enoc Perez as well as the estates of Chris Marker and Sonja Sekula.
After more than a decade as executive director of the Arizona Commission on the Arts, Robert C. Booker has announced that he will step down in August. He will be succeeded by Jaime Dempsey, the agency's deputy director since 2006. Her promotion was approved by the state on May 18.
"I will be forever grateful to have served Arizona residents through the work of the Arts Commission," Booker said. "I thank the artists, educators, elected officials, community leaders, and advocates who have played such important roles in advancing our shared work, and who so generously offered inspiration, guidance, and support throughout my career."
During his tenure, Booker led the commission through recession-era budget reductions and major shifts in public policy and successfully maintained the Arts Trust Fund as a primary source of state arts funding. He also initiated new private funding partnerships between national corporations and foundations, established Arizona's first poet laureate post, and collaborated with rural communities to create programs that would employ the arts to address community problems.
Commenting on Dempsey's appointment, Booker said, "Jaime has established herself as a respected leader in Arizona and throughout the country, known for her expansive knowledge of arts industry challenges and public policy opportunities, as well as for her ability to devise productive collaborations. Over our eleven-year partnership, we encountered substantial challenges, which only strengthened our resolve to fulfill the arts commission's mission and mandate as an agency of the State of Arizona: to ensure that every Arizona resident can participate in and experience the arts."
Prior to joining the arts commission, Dempsey developed community programs and partnerships as the first program manager for the Virginia G. Piper Center for Creative Writing at Arizona State University, and taught courses in arts leadership and nonprofit management for ASU's Herberger Institute for Design and the Arts. Previously, she managed programs for Idaho's nexStage theatre and the multidisciplinary Sun Valley Center for the Arts, and in 2016, she was elected to the board of directors for Grantmakers in the Arts, a national service organization which holds racial equity in American arts philanthropy as a core priority.
The Musée Dapper in Paris, a privately funded, nonprofit museum devoted to traditional and contemporary art from Africa, will shutter on June 18 due to rising costs and a drop in attendance, Eric Bietry-Rivierre of Le Figaro reports.
Located at 35 bis rue Paul-Valéry in the sixteenth arrondissement, Musée Dapper was established in 1986 by the Amsterdam-based Olfert Dapper Foundation, named for the Dutch humanist who wrote the ethnographic book Description of Africa (1668), to bring African art to a wider audience. It has since expanded and also exhibits Caribbean, Latin American, Indian, and African American work.
There was "too much burden," president Christiane Falgayrettes-Leveau said, adding that it was "too heavy to manage." While the foundation decided it will sell its 19,000-square-foot venue, comprising galleries, a library, basement, performance hall, and café, it still plans on organizing programming. Falgayrettes-Leveau said that cutting the expenses of having a physical space will allow the Dapper Foundation to have "more flexibility to carry out ambitious projects and invest in other spaces," including the Musée du quai Branly-Jacques Chirac, which will stage an exhibition of works from the Dapper collection this October.
The Courtauld Institute of Art has announced that Lord John Browne of Madingley has been named the institution's new chairman. Lord Browne will succeed James Hughes-Hallett after he completes his full term, and will take up the post in September.
"I am delighted that Lord Browne will be joining us as chair of the governing board at a particularly exciting time for the Courtauld," director Deborah Swallow said. "His passion and commitment to the arts coupled with his vast business experience and understanding of the higher education arena make him an excellent choice as we embark on Courtauld Connects, the biggest program of development since the Courtauld's move to Somerset House in 1989. I look forward to working with him and the rest of the board in delivering our ambitious plans over the next five years."
Lord Browne has previously held a number of positions at major cultural organizations. From 1995 to 2005, he was a trustee of the British Museum. Since 2007, he's been a trustee at Tate, and will step down from his role as chairman this summer. He is also a fellow of the Royal Society, the Royal Academy of Engineering, and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences as well as chairman of the international advisory board of the Blavatnik School of Government at the University of Oxford.
"The Courtauld embodies two of my greatest passions: the arts and education. It is the art world's preeminent educational institution, and I am delighted to have the opportunity to serve it. I look forward to working with the board, professor Swallow, and her team to guide the Courtauld through its biggest transformation in almost two decades," said Lord Browne.
In May 2016, the institute announced that it was launching a $73 million renovation project that would create additional space for the exhibition of the Courtauld's growing permanent collection, restore its Great Room, revamp its historic Fine Rooms, add a temporary exhibition space, remodel the entrance, build a new learning center, and update its storage and art handling facilities for its department of conservation and technology. Among the other projects Courtauld Connects will finance are the digitization of millions of its art objects and the launch a new public research forum.

The University of Wyoming's art museum has received an anonymous $2.27 million donation that will be used to establish the Susan B. Moldenhauer Fund for Contemporary Art.
"This gift is extraordinary, as it will transform the future of contemporary art at the University of Wyoming," president Laurie Nichols said in a statement. The newly-created fund will support exhibitions, commissions, publications, scholarship, and other public programming.
"The art museum is the only museum in the state of Wyoming that focuses on contemporary art from national and international perspectives, which is essential to broadening visual art experiences for our students, faculty, citizens, and visitors," said Susan B. Moldenhauer, who's served as director and chief curator of the museum since 2002.
Located in the Centennial Complex on the school's Laramie campus, the museum has a collection of nearly 8,000 artworks and stages an average of eighteen exhibitions each year. The $2.27 million gift follows a wave of philanthropy at the institution. In 2016, it successfully raised a record $63 million.
Frieze has named Kiluanji Kia Henda as the winner of the 2017 Frieze Artist Award. Kia Henda is the first African artist to receive the prize, which is only in its fourth year. He will be invited to realize a new installation at Frieze London as part of Frieze Projects, the fair's nonprofit program.
"Kiluanji Kia Henda is a vital voice of his generation and I'm very pleased that the jury made him this year's Frieze Artist Award winner," said Raphael Gygax, the curator of Frieze Projects and Zurich's Migros Museum für Gegenwartskunst. "His work examines the wounds of his home country Angola left by decades of political unrest. Kia Henda brings satire to bear on politics and the legacy of colonialism in Africa, corrupting enduring stereotypes."
The award's jury comprised artist Cory Arcangel; Eva Birkenstock, director of Kunstverein für die Rheinlande und Westfalen in Düsseldorf; Tom Eccles, executive director of the Center for Curatorial Studies at Bard College in New York; and Gygax. Jo Stella-Sawicka, artistic director of Frieze Fairs, chaired the jury.
A Luanda-based artist, Kia Henda works across photography, video, and performance. Titled Under the Silent Eye of Lenin, Kia Henda's winning proposal is a two-part installation that draws parallels between the cult of Marxism-Leninism in Angola, witchcraft practices during the country's civil war, and science fiction narratives used by Cold War superpowers. "Despite being a political doctrine that rejected religion, the way that Marxism-Leninism was indoctrinated during the revolution demanded strict loyalty and unquestionable belief, similar to religious practice," Kia Henda said. "In this project, the bust of Lenin returns to become the central object of an installation and performance piece, where the memories and narratives of one of the bloodiest conflicts in Africa are molten with the transcendence of witchcraft and the dogmatic dimension of a political ideology."
Frieze London will run from October 5 to October 8, and is sponsored by Deutsche Bank for the fourteenth consecutive year. Previous award winners include Yuri Pattison, Rachel Rose, and Mélanie Matranga.
Switzerland's Galerie Urs Meile announced the opening of its new exhibition space in the 798 Art District in Beijing. Located in a historic building which once housed part of the Dashanzi factory complex, the gallery was renovated by Japanese architect Mitsunori Sano. The 1,700-square-foot venue features galleries, offices, and storage rooms. An exhibition of works by Qiu Shihua inaugurated the space.
Galerie Urs Meile also launched an artist residency program in Beijing, which offers Western artists the opportunity to work in China for several months as well as mount exhibitions made for the new gallery space. Galerie Urs Meile has been working with Chinese artists since 1995 and represents established and emerging artists such as Li Gang, Hu Qingyan, Tobias Rehberger, Qiu Shihua, Yan Xing, and Wang Xingwei.
Deutsche Bank has announced plans to open an exhibition space for its corporate collection of more than 50,000 works amassed since the 1970s, Catherine Hickley of the Art Newspaper reports. Located in the Prinzessinnenpalais at 5 Unter den Linden, the 3,000-square-foot arts center is scheduled to open in 2018.
"We are working on an exciting program," said spokesperson Klaus Winker. He added that it is too early to reveal details on the project, but the center will be a space for concerts, workshops, and other events to be held. The new venue will also incorporate the Deutsche Bank KunstHalle, the successor of the Deutsche Guggenheim, a collaboration between the Deutsche Bank and the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation, which ran from 1997 to 2012 and presented sixty-one exhibitions on twentieth and twenty-first century art.
The Deutsche Bank Collection comprises significant holdings of modernist and postwar German art including works by Georges Braque, Joseph Beuys, Gerhard Richter, and Sigmar Polke. Today, the collection is focusing on expanding with new acquisitions from Africa, China, India, and South America.
The Akron Art Museum announced today that Ellen Rudolph, executive director of the Maltz Museum of Jewish Heritage in Ohio, has been appointed as chief curator. She will take up the post in August.
"We are excited to have Ellen Rudolph returning to the Akron Art Museum as our new chief curator," executive director and CEO Mark Masuoka said. "Ellen's selection builds upon the continued success of the museum's curatorial department and her experience and passion for contemporary art is exactly what we need to continue to stay on the leading edge of contemporary culture as a forward thinking
twenty-first century art museum."
Rudolph rejoins the Akron Art Museum after a three-year-tenure as head of the Maltz Museum of Jewish Heritage. Under her leadership, the museum's attendance doubled and expanded its exhibition programs and community partnerships. Previously, she served as Akron Art Museum's curator of exhibitions, interim chief curator, and senior curator, respectively, from 2008 through 2013.
"I am thrilled to return to the Akron Art Museum and look forward to pursuing an ambitious and innovative exhibition program," Rudolph said. "The museum offers amazing opportunities to engage the community with art, and I am excited to work again with the fantastic collection and the museum's great staff while raising the museum's regional and national profile."

doing a presentation on biomedical issue abortion. Can you help me with Explaining the organizations eithica and social responsibility toward the community and its stakeholders
What organization?
Who are its stakeholders?
Having taught biomedical ethics, I wonder how abortion is biomedical? It is a medical procedure,either surgical or non-surgical, with social and religious ethics involved,which is of concern to some of the community. Some of them are really involved in it.
1. The branch of medical science that deals with the ability of humans to tolerate environmental stresses and variations, as in space travel.
2. The application of the principles of the natural sciences, especially biology and physiology, to clinical medicine.
I am nitpicking, of course, but big words confuse the study of ethics. Drugs and ethics are an example: we forget that alka-seltzer is a drug. In the abortion issue and ethics, we often forget that the great majority of aborted fetuses are natural miscarries in the first two months.
An NIH study*: "It is estimated that up to half of all fertilized eggs die and are lost (aborted) spontaneously, usually before the woman knows she is pregnant. Among those women who know they are pregnant, the miscarriage rate is about 15-20%." [56] Clinical abortions (those occurring after the sixth week LMP) occur in 8% of pregnancies.
*^ a b Wang X, Chen C, Wang L, Chen D, Guang W, French J (2003). "Conception, early pregnancy loss, and time to clinical pregnancy: a population-based prospective study". Fertil Steril 79 (3): 577–84. doi:10.1016/S0015-0282(02)04694-0. PMID 12620443.
We tend to forget this in the emotional discussions...
Mercy Killing.
That's what the Nazis called thier policy of exterminating the "undesirables"
(or unwanteds)
out of their society.
The idea of murdering children
because they're too young to care
for themselves is no different than murdering the ailing, elderly, or mentally handicapped - which is
what the Nazis did. Okay, so
some children were not planned,
and it hurts me to say that they weren't wanted, but we have no
right to play God and decide who
lives and who dies. Mercy-killing isn't merciful. Neither is abortion. It's murder that's been legalized.
I was one of those "unwanteds" that ended up being put up for adoption;
me and my two brothers. We were adopted by a couple that could not have children of their own. Don't believe that abortion is the only '
way. It's not.
And if I may have the audacity to say so, if the US legalizes
infantcide (which we have)
than who is to say that
further down the road the
mentally ill won't be next.
Or the elderly.
Or those with physical deformities?
Or orphans and children who've been put into foster care?
Or people who don't conform to a particular religion?
We've started with infants. We won't end there. I hate to say this, but I wholeheartedly beleive it. Some say history repeats itself. I beleive that too. We could be the next Nazi Germany. All it takes is a few more steps. Just think about that.
I'm sorry if this comes across rude or forceful or anarchy-ish. I'm passionatly pro-life.

Free Legal Clinic For Area Seniors
Seniors in the New York metropolitan area with legal questions or concerns are encouraged by State Senator Malcolm A. Smith to take advantage of free legal counsel on a variety of aging related issues.
"Seniors have questions on many issues that directly affect the way they live: pensions, retirement, Medicare, landlord/tenant matters, public benefits, legal custody of a grandchild, or grandparents' rights," said Senator Smith. "Thanks to the New York State Bar Association, which is sponsoring a series of free clinics, seniors can sit down with an attorney and get answers to basic legal questions." Senator Smith noted that lawyers who specialize in elder law issues will be seated at individual tables and provide 15 to 20 minute, face-to-face consultations with pre-registered seniors. If a senior's legal problem is beyond the scope of the attorney's knowledge or is too complicated to solve within the allotted time period, the lawyer will direct him or her to additional referral sources.
"Seniors, more than any demographic in our country, are especially vulnerable to issues pertaining to their health and their pocketbook," Senator Smith said. "Speaking with an attorney can not only help them get the answers they need, it also provides peace of mind, knowing that they are informed enough to make decisions that best affect the way they live."
Upcoming senior legal consultation clinics for Queens residents will be offered on Monday, November 9 from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. at St. John's University.
For more information, call Ronald Fatoullah and Associates at (718) 261- 1700.

Donnelly was released while her case was being appealed. Six girls between the ages of 11 and 12 attended a birthday party at Donnelly's house in March of 2011.Three of them smoked pot with her, some of them drank alcohol and one was given a prescription pill by Donnelly.

New Plants @ Petsmart
FYI: if anyone is annoyed of me posting these things i find, please let me know i will stop :P
I just thought id share good news with what i find when im at fish stores :P
Petsmart (atleast where i live in harrisburg) is now carrying plants in what looks like air tight vacuumed plants. Why am i sharing this? Because i found some VERY nice looking plants. They come in flat packages that look like the air has been sucked out of the plastic which creates a tight seal (***i could be wrong about the tight seal, i just saw it with my eyes i didnt check the package). The insides look moist cause i can see drops of water on the package. They have swords, Dwarf hair grass, Micro swords, Bocopa. (atleast those are the ones i remembered on top of my head)
The most impressive i thought was the Dwarf Hair grass, they looked VERY healthy. Although you only get about 1" of it, its about 1"x4-6" in package length.
*Package also had a print stating that the plants are "fully submerge able"...how reliable is that? beats me. its petsmart.
Heres the catch: 7.99 i believe it was per package.
I would never pay that much for one because i know i can get it cheaper on this forum. But i was very tempted to grab some DHG and this other plant called "Telanthera Cardinal" which looks like a reddish brown plant.
Just thought id share :)
*** This is not the plants in the weird cylindrical plastic tubes with water crystals on the bottom*** <--- im pretty sure these plants were grown immersed...i purchased one of their "peacock moss" and that never survived for me, causing me to never buy again.
That's awesome, I wish my petsmart was carrying that stuff. It may be 7.99, but considering how much you could save on shipping, it might be worth it depending on what you're looking for.
yeah, i saw those plants last time i was at my local petsmart too. they're probably carried in most stores now.
our petsmart used to have a great selection of live plants, then they got rid of the plant tanks. now they have just one narrow end cap of those plants in plastic tubes. they are really expensive and most look nearly dead.
the bags sound like a decent alternative if you don't have a lfs that carries plants....though i'd still rather get plants from a LFS or just have them shipped from a reputable source.
petco has a mix of the plants in tubes and a tank of plants. though the tanks are usually full of non aquatic plants...go figure.
my petco's usually have the WORST selection of plants...all of them look dead and im pretty sure the employees dont know what to do with them.
Petsmart taking away their planted tank (usually its the 4 tanks that pour into each other) was in my opinion one of the dumbest/best things they ever did...
Dumb because i loved buying live plants from them (WAY BEFORE I WAS INTO HIGH TECH and knew nothing about ferts/etc).
And Best because people who go to petsmart never buy their live plants...if they do, they take it home to their crapy setups, plants die and leave a mess, they never buy again. Simply put, it was a loss leader for them (only because they didnt educate their employees on keeping live plants, or anything about fish in general xD...i say this because im an ex petsmart employee)
I have several of those Peacock Ferns from the tubes from PetSmart. Every week they mark some as 50% off. Some of them look pretty bad, but I got one that looked great and is doing good in my 75 gal which is in DSM. I have since picked up 4 more (all at 50% off) and they are all doing well also
Huh, I have seen those in my petsmart for about 8 months now. They do look good though. I bought the Dwarf Hair Grass one a long time ago and of course I killed it. :/
I bought some dwarf hairgrass from one of those vacuum packaged things the op is talking about. They were vibrant green in the packaging and are thriving in my tank. The other plants in this packaging looked equally lush.
oo cool i didnt know they had it for 8 months now...every petsmart is different and changes based on how new and how well the local petsmart does. For my petsmart, which is in a non rich neighborhood we usually get new things last. Although when i worked there we were number 1 in fish sales on the east coast ^^...that was until i left :P
You prob live in a nicer area and prob have a better petsmart...my petsmart is still uses the 20 gallon old ugly acrylic tanks while newer petsmart have nice brand new looking acrylic tank with seperators built in and some tanks that look like they're 40-50 gallons long. Need i say newer petsmart are alot cleaner? :P
At $8 each, you'd be much better off makeing the long trek to something like That Fish Place, or buying from one of the online vendors for your plants.
Psesonally, unless it's a sale I've typically found the big chain stores to be more expensive and of lower quality than most of the LFSs, but that could just be the area I'm in.
I agree with ya davek they are more expensive. But convenience is key here. For those like me who like to stop by any fish store as long as its near by and check stuff out, im posting this mainly for those who just wanted to "check em out". I never stated it was a good deal :P!! Like i mentioned in the OP i would NEVER pay 8 dollars for these plants haha. But knowing petsmart they will go on sale and drop down to 5 bucks or even lower. THEN you'll be tempted to snag some if your in your local petsmart for 1 dollar fish :P
Tony, you need dhg? I can hook ya up :)
Are those the tissue culture plants that some Petsmarts are stocking?
(no snails = some extra value)
Just bought some DHG from Petsmart today, not sure why some of you wouldn't buy it at Petsmart... It's only $8. Buying from here you're probably going to pay $7 alone for shipping. I think of that as another pack of DHG I could have bought.
haha when i buy plants online i always buy in big bundles :) or trades ftw

Stylist goes on tour to help animal shelter
IDAHO FALLS, IDAHO - An Idaho Falls stylist is about to embark on a 50-state tour.
Zachary DiBella is one of only three stylists making the trip. They will be a part of BarkAID's third annual tour.
The stylists are donating their time and raising funds for local animal shelters.
The goal is to provide at least 50 haircuts in 50 states in 50 days.
BarkAID's tour stops in Idaho Falls at the Defining Line Salon on September 11.
The suggested donation per haircut is $20.
"But whatever someone is willing to give, 100 percent of that will go to the Snake River Animal Shelter in Idaho Falls," said DiBella.
He is hoping to get 150 haircuts in Idaho Falls.
A donor has agreed to match each dollar raised that day.
The salon is also selling lollipops to help cover the travel expenses. Each $10 bundle will pay for 50 miles of the planned trip.
You can schedule your haircut with the Defining Line Salon at (208) 523-2229.

We talk all Bruins, all the time with the man himself, as Jack Edwards from NESN gets us ready for Game 3 and beyond.
Transcript - Not for consumer use. Robot overlords only. Will not be accurate.
It can be had a couple of -- And who has more -- -- us. They're great Jack Edwards with a loss here at west and Johnny sultan Ali on WEEI. After it happened earlier. Like all of our Bruins coverage brought to you by your Boston area Mercedes-Benz dealers than. Jack you're ready. I am to be back in Boston for game three I I have already everyone talking about them five in Chicago incorporated is when they. Cheer during the National Anthem and then there is great I'm not saying it's not -- and but did you watch the gains from there and you can only it's a great atmosphere and I want them. It doesn't sound like it on TV and it certainly doesn't sound the same as them expecting it to send your mind. And and that's too bad. And that's a production decision and I don't I haven't heard the line feed so I don't know but I I can tell you this. When you have. The so called three in the Booth set up you tend to get wrestling match over -- time when the play by play guys talking and you have. Fewer opportunities to hear the crowd going nuts. Because. When there are two people other than the play by play guy they tend do wanna add their two cents at every possible. Humble soul maybe you don't get. The same kind of appreciation that you went for instance Rick has a chance to talk but here's the crowd chanting something like Nike castle. And he lays out so in here. That's. -- significant difference that's all. -- -- How are you feeling going into game three after seeing that overtime game. Outside help -- feel lucky because this is nothing like that just lucky that were witnessing this because aside from. The first period utter domination the likes of which I can't really remember for an entire period in. The Stanley Cup final games that I've been able to witness. It has been unbelievable hockey and I'm I'm forming an early hypothesis you know Holland a lot like the -- hypotheses. And at that at all. We we had we should have something that did you card that says and feel -- to. Knock this down -- -- but here it is. That when Chicago is on its game 100%. There is not a team at least they can stay with the Blackhawks. Spot because they're playing the rules whom. Are as good defense team as exists in the modern era. That level appointees on the sustainable. For sixty minutes in fact it's probably unsustainable for more than about fifteen. And we sought for what he's in the first period. And what happened the Bruins clawed their way back and Chicago as the game got longer. Had progressively less and less energy now think back to game one okay. The brought weathered the storm in the first ten minutes for the Blackhawks -- on it everything removed including the pop or okay. Then the Bruins go up by two in Chicago. -- hit that year. For the second and third periods the Blackhawks were unbelievable and you know yet you don't wanna see the -- blown two goal lead. But there were two teams out there playing at Chicago. Raised it to a a different levels of the -- -- seen all season long. And then in the first overtime you're expecting wow you know what the Blackhawks Republican -- this game -- and the Bruins were the better team in the first overtime. By on March in a decent margin the second overtime probably bias like march. And then they end up losing the game in the fertile field double deflection so. Sold the hypothesis is that Chicago has an unbelievable level but play against Boston it cannot sustain it the way it did against those guys. Ticket basis stated. With -- sustainable say cancer and basically directly to me in the conference semi finals. They played the kings of the conference finals. The sustainable get those things. Yes it once because those teams were not disputed the -- and that's what you got you know an -- out in the abstract and and were at that level where one mistake. One that change one silly penalty. One great individual play can decide a game with a two over Dixon -- a -- it's also hopefully block I'll yield to you Jack you think you'll understand the game of the better by. In the first period when the Bruins looked as bad as they could and and the Blackhawks looked as good as they could. The -- couldn't get the puck out of Euro zone right not to -- seem to be the biggest problem have a black hawks get a good job. Entering into the zone themselves that they weren't that offensively minded in terms of racing not by the problems that the Bruins never generated any thing. They weren't able to get out of their own songs that -- go through the neutral -- with any speed to which -- they couldn't get into the offensive -- start cycling game totally right what changed what they do -- -- it was there an x.s and -- -- with an effort -- -- and I understand Chris -- -- people -- the after the first period of -- good effort went off. But something must've changed just in terms of the x.s and o.s of how they were exiting their own zone and getting into the into the Chicago. Yet there was a reset after the first period -- and there's no doubt there was there were a lot of angry men in the Boston room when there should have been and they were angry themselves and angry at each other. I'm not sure if there was that much of an axis -- -- difference but the reason ruled got on the slippery slope of the first period released from where we sat and watched it. Is that it reminded me of the Billy Guerin. Teacher that used to Wear under -- -- that just that shift by shift and that's the way it is and when you have a opponent as good as the Blackhawks get free. Really who it. So my Dominic shifts right in a -- near the beginning of the game. You're real trouble because you don't know how long they can sustain it and the five. On that Chicago bench was so good. And it was only the Tuukka Rask was able to steal that first period and Boston the commodity only down by one that the Bruins had a shot. And allow them to yell at each other as if they're built for your -- often after one they can yell it -- not gonna make any difference that was all about to -- steal a game. Right now that there are times when guys don't score. It wrecked the actual up off on -- -- but we still see it happening and there were there on way. They sport we give too much credit. If that would happen when we. That game too. Seven we'll take your questions just before 6 o'clock what you're talking about that I'm coming up on the table if it jacket were the route -- what. -- have a protective equipment that. Protect airports and I think I wanna have to act at at at least that participated well. She sure it teacher recruitment that's -- -- handicapped beauty contest like nobody I know that is Jack's wife of people out there having -- you can call this thing out it's. If you see anything from this your dog yes that was a good occasion she knew she actually saw a few things from this you taller or real. I don't bring you back the clock you know after that you don't need to -- I'll just go back on where -- o'clock -- Didn't notice me volleys David and over there at the corner seriously it would enter to do to me. Rocketboom at Utah mom took -- back with a line second line for a moment you thought the polls that Dockery hit. Yeah yeah a -- miss you -- all the polls. -- -- The folds I thought they miss south Caroline with only a little reader of the known to represent the entire cross -- forget it really. Go back to that line yeah Sagan Kelly and I would point out that in. -- the game against buffalo here right after the bombing when when. The crowd sang the National Anthem and all the emotion now. Bruce scored two goals in that game one by Kelly won by pie who played together for as far as I know the only time this year. It -- for both of them than -- one assisted on on the others goal. On both of the goals we have personal back combination again until Saturday night. Well that was because. The ample lines started playing really really well and as sharp Norton says we like playing with each other and they really do they they light. Being together they know each other's cots and moves it tendencies so it's almost as if they don't even have to look it's there but when Campbell goes down. A lot of things change now Brooke pointed out so it really interesting in our post game coverage after game two and incidentally it was like it's all -- -- and tonight -- Sox are plans starting at 630 for pre game and immediately after the game they mean like right. At the banality of the game whether it's an overtime goal in the final siren. We're gonna be right across I see you write -- of it as they open. The address nor is it that -- guy yeah yeah we got a lot of help from the Bruins do you know the team's been great that way it brings people out. But yes it's been really get the bricks at this in our post game coverage that what you create symmetry. A round but senator. Interesting things often happen because we we have that that long standing model Wayne Cashman doing the dirty work in the quarter. And hot with the huge slap shot on the other wing and Phyllis is Hugo. Getting all the glory in the little but it's not necessarily always that -- -- about how -- teacher or work around preaching to bankers okay. Well obviously. Means they can or not bankers but those guys can flat out fly. When you put that kind of speed on either side of Chris Kelly all the sudden you start bringing up the best in Chris Kelly -- You know even though he has had he not very good years on my UNC back. Going it's -- exit. 08 it's been a hell of a what's been a back in fact it's been awful but since you don't like and -- -- Kelly fan and it's enough backwards it suits its its been that the playlist you're like not the he is he is still a really Smart player and when you give him options instead of obligations. And the speech gives him options. He'd better. He is so much -- so that's why we're gonna see Victor stalwart from Chicago tonight and Bolick. Who was kind of a surprise beginning at this series goes out that he cannot. Any way they would back on it it makes you wonder rich Beverley has been so bad that he made critically. I -- -- and looked lost -- any team to keep looked awful. He looks like if you blow on and he -- he's got a maximum of five games that -- job what does that what does. Happen to average Beverly point two million on the capitol that's gonna get tight there's an amnesty -- available and it's not a whole lot of imagination to see that guy. Yet -- ask you guy great guy but you know what he's got to produce and got to do right now he's royal penalties well you know these are taken face -- -- -- got a 3.2 million dollars for the caps on -- like you gamble portion -- all -- -- really has been a source of great confusion but. I'll tell you Jack I love like you've made you may have a future either college professor or a preacher. Would you say would you give -- options they've got obligations. Does the service. Now usually used to work on now the late great George -- want my English teacher in high school what a tremendous guy he was. Options are not obligations I have maybe maybe that's it and you look at the speed. Of piety having I think everybody that -- him this hearings while. That guy can just figuring out that I -- artists all of that speed packet shoots -- he could shoot. It evidence that the number one promise that it is as simple as that don't look at his junior numbers tinkered numbers you have picked scorer in junior I think you went number twenty overall jennies do you think he can shoot. Not with the best of them but but adequately certainly. He he's he's a really good player and and yeah out on a lot of teams he has the top six. Put the Bruins got him because. He makes great decisions on the penalty kill they've brought have been here -- believing colts' first year. And it was because they were sold out on the totally kill that they desperately needed help. It's really consummated the first trade the Bruins ever hit made with the Buffalo Sabres ever. And and they got IA and if you look at the penalty killing he did. In game two there were three different moments in the same kill. Where you Italy wasn't able to clear the zone he either took the space completely away remake the safe chip. The wall to keep the puck away from the dangerous part of the ice part of the reason that Chicago's power play hasn't done anything is that the guys who filled. Examples boots have done a really good job they made really good decision. If you do that you put Chicago. Into perspective -- -- -- it's been a great run here in Boston we've seen two of the last three years some great series goes we've seen Vancouver. Everything the juggernaut they weren't so great. Matt who went to him we solve the big ones the last round and how great they are. I mean are they are they somewhere between. I think we're in Vancouver. On they'd better than both of those. Yes I think I I think is how would you describe it I infer from me I think that -- Blackhawks team is better than either this year's penguins. Or the 2000 Olympic overcome -- And it and it's because they can win in different ways. And the reason they ran the table in the first. Of the -- very well and and so many of those games were winning at the last five minutes or tying in the last three minutes of winning it notes the it just incredible resiliency is they can win games in different ways they can. Powervu or they can outrage you. But they have a team of tremendous. But it tick rule straight that they play as five man units they understand the slides their layers after layers of defense. And they have that thing at that very few teams in the NHL. Has -- they can make that vertical pass where what are rebound comes off Crawford's like pat. The first look for a guy like don't think he is that the attacking blue line and if he's -- somebody. Like a Patrick Kane who was anticipated. The -- over. And Cain has got a half a step behind a defenseman he's going right for that scene and it and -- it. This team has has made that passed a couple of hundred times during the season and they're still looking for the Stanley Cup there's no doubt there -- more come. The team certainly than either Pittsburgh or Vancouver was and I think the Bruins have seen that. But can they handle with his talent in the rose yeah that's that would be the debate and in game two it seemed as if the musicality. Eventually. Wore them down and then overwhelm them in the -- -- -- except that game in game one they show the musicality in the second and third periods that. The one time that Chicago has really kind of looked out of sync -- in that first emotional ten minutes of game one where they were -- for the picket and the I mean they're worse having guys. And it got a little bit out of their rhythm they they were getting the spectacular hit and the roads are saying we've seen this from Pittsburgh. 'cause the penguins had war. Impact highlight -- gets in the broad stated that series and the roads were great comedy get it because if you comedy hit me and I take the hit to move the -- It's at worse before on four and probably the past beats an additional work checker and now it's -- -- free which means there's a 211. Which means you've got a chance to get a real good shot off the rush. The roads are more than willing and and that's another paper talks about all the time about their different kinds of toughness you don't have to drop and go oh what the most vivid examples of toughness of the NHL is to take that it to move the puck in the rules are more than willing to do that. At what Chicago Raines who did a little bit and they make the responsible -- and don't go chasing for the big huge hit on the really really tough team to play him. What we see -- from the -- the next two games at home. That rule that was kind of get our kids okay they could do that Chicago. They would do that here taking advantage of last year. The better match up that. Almost every single time that the pattern has been that they've tried to counter. That came appearance with the Bergeron line gains -- obviously what. When -- on the ice the cut with a virtual online help there to take the speed away. And now when the host aligned itself there UC's all -- today at a Chara Siegel picked by against that body. Enough that different from what they did with with Pittsburgh all right when Malkin line was out -- make -- yet the big -- Chara -- -- Crosby's line without their make sure you have defensive speed of -- and -- -- rabbits briar patch because. The roads to play the defense oriented game and looked to counterpunch. With 100% effectiveness because they get the last one that leads. Perfectly to the next subject which is quote Julianne we've debated him talked about them come back and forth maybe even in some cases change their position who knows. But quote right now appears to just be on fire. Wanna ask you about him next Jack Edwards with a threat until 6 o'clock PM answer the question question form -- 379837. Or use the hash tag ETQ. On Twitter salt and Ollie were at West End Johnny to right by the garden. Here WEEI. Jack Edwards remains with us right till 6 o'clock -- the questions. Here 379837. EU. On Twitter Jack stick around that we've done that well Julianne and his contribution to the team and Al though 180 with. O meter runner right now but I believe that if they have lost the first round theories that maybe it would have been time for a change you lose in the first round yours in a -- when you're heavily favored team. I would that it now it would have been disappointed but. Doesn't happen -- being used on the last three weeks as technical. And I don't know whether he's the best coach this debate maybe right now. Fire if he does is the right thing whether what line together and third line. Stay with recruit after that debate the other day for twenty. Minutes whatever he seems to want to do worked out the old but well. Put the draw on the ground and and you know every time you get a new layer you know. But what whether it's granted there are Sander whatever you're you're getting deeper and deeper into it you realize that -- release plan. Has so much thought that's put into it and and one of the reasons. Behind. Reinvesting. You know roster that. Could have gone off the cliff. And could've gotten old all wants -- sometimes those things happen. But he he weighed the risks and the potential rewards. And and part of the reward. Potential is that. Your coach has seen these guys in hundreds of games and he knows every single attribute. Of their capabilities and so he can say. On a hunch. I put high AA and state game on opposite sides of Kelly because. Those are things that you can't add up you can't take that spread -- that they get baseball -- Well you know this guy -- so well against left handers sort of batted fifth tonight is that a six because -- -- more protection or cleanup hitter. Doesn't work that way and hockey's just way too much -- plasma state. But when you have that. Depth of familiarity with the roster the coach Julian does and and the knowledge base that he has that the team has built. Through self scouting. In addition to scouting opponents. You have that kind of fluency and and that's what's on display and on and it was on display in the Pittsburgh series as well. I'm wondering about -- to see any. The ball buster behind the scenes with the players is he that guy if he would Jokester. It's -- father figure it's like if you want to cover up button pushers what what what you would think like. He is. The iron fist in the velvet glove with. A little children on the ring finger. Because he's he's a funny guy and he takes his job deadly seriously. What. He almost never passes up the chance. Susie exactly everybody depth and including me almost every single day and it's funny I mean it's really keeps it light with the can -- it. I would think that what's that I'm not going there -- out. After you know after repeated -- but what is what has been fodder for. Work -- that. Let's just say that the morning skates he gives the daily review my bed -- it because I probably don't shout outs David well -- before it committed. And he -- -- grief about it and it's funny you know it's not the same line every day he's he is that he's a funny guy. He. Is deadly serious about his job and you know that he can feel the pain. When quote speaks to the Bruins in their little on ice gathering to be -- -- -- state. He keeps it brief it's always ninety seconds or less there -- none of these. Long long speeches. Like I do that I think. Never he never loses his audience he knows the point he wants to make he gets in he gets out. He leads the message very very clear and so he's he's a really communicate there. Obviously an excellent manager people as a great act so a grasp on things but fumbles the ball. He's somebody with whom you want to go out there because he's he's got a lot of depth to. Phillips a clothing was gone he he pulls a Doc Rivers and says guys -- automatic here I need to go somewhere else please treat me to a team somewhere else okay fine. Let's say that would happen and they were to call you from a radio station whatever city that is that hey we're getting this new coach load Julianne. Describe them to me what is the number one the most important. And it of his coaching philosophy what would you -- he has an effort based system that if the players give him the 100% effort. That team will have traction. It would get better it'll get better and -- and once it gets better and learn how to win games it's gonna win a lot of games and his track record shows. You know it much throughout much really gets tired of everybody you know if you have a four game losing streak in the middle of a forty win season. You're gonna catch heat in Montreal it's just the way it is in that city you know and they they they invented the case. And they feel that that know what he's good enough -- You didn't last forever in Montreal beat goes to New Jersey. IE really have great personal affection for for Lou Amarillo I respect everything he's done. -- without a doubt the single. Worst move the Lou Amarillo ever made was to get impatient with -- Julian -- about three games to go in the regular season and -- And then liberal logos behind the bench new -- out the first round at Peter she rally. Goes to Jeremy Jacobs and says you know what I've made a mistake with Dave Lewis will be fire him and made a mistake OK I'll be down in my last match in the match book. But let me light it and put the put it to the candle here because I know the coach Julian can make this franchise better. And -- if Jacobs -- credit -- significant. Dead money. On Dave Lewis who who just couldn't get the job on -- off -- and and help them and eat great guy doesn't god gave great right you know but you know slated Donald. Should double Leo was only thing you know all the pitching coach Democrats pitching coach on not a manager I don't want to -- right. But but Lewis couldn't do it as a head coach and and surely do. The coach Julian could. -- you guys you mentioned that's just as it. At the throat when it if you haven't been aware of what's happening here in which the doctors situation. Doc Rivers. Trying to law to latch on with the Boston clippers trade discussions between the clippers the Celtics the latest -- Chris Paul. That's -- that he will resign with the clippers if they are a little -- Doc Rivers and if they're able Kevin Garnett. This is not a celebration -- thing. Microsoft would have significant for the Celtics because they now know they've got leverage to the clippers. You can project sacred totals any that don't take anything debit. We are trying to negotiate -- -- for the Celtics to go back to stay on I don't know -- the witness the way it goes right Eric Bledsoe is gonna be part of that trade or time. I know I know it's impossible. But if your game means before you make that trade authority get off on for just one cut but if I kind of just have to update people had a clear he argued no the Chris Paul with the free agent. And specifically would wanna play for Doc Rivers and with Kevin Garnett. Don't -- is there any ground you can do guards know all these there's no possible way no way you can clear space there -- no secret although it it just it and I opted out because it's physically involved. It is it is merely off nearly if we're totally OK there's one there's no one point 1% chance of doing sitting -- in order requires. -- requires complete year. To start and perhaps more teams -- you figure out right now everybody is that the cap is the cap will become more apparent after July 1 so that yet. You can delete your working in one that you -- an outbreak of stupidity -- -- but that's all part of the outbreak happened the other outside of the if you take away all once -- -- the clippers. -- got them. You know so let me. You know your work with them already like 345 what you can't do it by stupid teams in the NBA felt a that was the easy now it's our camp. Laying the inevitable if you do that though I mean can they when it next year now but it -- Chris Paul here you would you would panic and they went with Chris Paul next year ago okay. Yet on when it. You know it's not that you -- we got to turn at all next year got to turn it over it's -- you'd be starting a rebuilding project with the centerpiece of it. Increased Paul that would be my point out that it would mean you'd win next year. And at what you give out accurate -- therapies and I'm sure of that. I'm sure crippled like hey Chris if that's nonsense all the way we don't know -- oh what well at the a couple of years but okay. Welcome to Boston for that for a couple of years -- right not gonna happen. So. That the Celtics you have leverage in the situation that -- deal. Where they are gonna they're going to be worth the notes but they can at least. Make the clippers do one. Kind of coaches joke when. He's terrific coach and he's well dressed -- -- -- may be the best dressed in that your coach you know what he is. He's a tough as nails very serious guy. Not quite as lighthearted as quote but. He's one of those guys who gives it to you absolutely straight even if you don't really wanna hear that message and one of the things his players Revere about him and have -- about it everywhere he's gone Saint Louis Colorado and now Chicago. Is that he'd. When he sees something in a player's game that he doesn't like. -- -- -- -- Not as controllable from time. Not as of the hall of honestly not it's not as vociferously. As -- -- what's with the same amount of gusto and if there's something that is. Unsatisfactory. The players and an order right away his -- specifically what he needs to correct he's gonna get specific. Coaching advice on how to change that because he's not doing it to the players up he's doing it to make players better and and his teams get better. It and and every Joel Quenneville team has been really tough to play against Adam night might have been tough play against because SP. Or might have been tough to play against because of transition ability or musicality or combination thereof but they have never ever been an easy out. This is going to be the most respectful. Stanley Cup final assault -- the -- that the Bruins like the Blackhawks the Blackhawks like the ruling Quenneville like low low life when bill. I mean and a couple of times. Them some knucklehead. A radio host out of Chicago on this thing going. It'll walk superhero idol T -- company -- -- that it isn't leisure company -- in Chicago stronger measures is that you know. They're trying hard. To make this a contentious affair it is not gonna. He has no it is and and and there a couple of reasons for that one is of both of these teams is in -- which has played in the right way. They wanna knock you flat on your Easter but they're gonna do it face to face -- not gonna sneak up behind you get a game misconduct or. -- remember well -- would enter into what would you -- but they know what they play the game the right way and the other thing is that. As far as I can tell. I went back to 1976. On this and it was the first time like -- fine. More players. Playing in the Stanley Cup final. Who had their names on the cup. For the teams. For which they're playing right now and it's it's kind of a convoluted thing to say but there are seventeen Bruins lost yarder. A case of seventeen -- who have their name on the cup from two years ago there were eight Blackhawks who have their names on the cup. You have to go back to 1976. Defined more than 25 players playing for the cop whose names are or -- for their teams and that's the that's a big part of that. That starts out you -- yet the back to back. 20082009. England's red wings yeah but but but that really a little bit wanna ethnic look at what yes right right that it did not have anything right and now. -- and it and it changes. A players. Perspective or the game of hockey when he point what's that thing will respect that it really does he change his players it it makes the guys who. Might go past the age twelve times a year bring it back to three times a year and I think we saw that in -- Marcia. There is an unspoken responsibility that goes with that. That you're now. Representing the game as well as your team. And yourself with talked a few times -- -- show one of my pet theories is that as you -- -- who teach those of those rooms on Wednesday that when he's on his game when he skating and more importantly giving and opening up space created that space for -- Orton. The tendency to win games but the way he split the four in the first two games of the Stanley Cup on unreal unreal -- back to have you seen the thing that. They're repealed it tweak it around today it's lethal if things have liked. 45 still right -- Of fun Nicklaus -- person. Trying to get out of the way of train number seventeen in the courtroom -- -- earlier today so if you go to that real jacket -- Twitter you can you can go find it. It is. Unbelievable. This is a really good NHL defensemen -- top four guy on any team in the league. McCluster Albertson and he is just flat -- to get off the tracks if he sees the train comic. Boutique bears down on it it's also the low. Quarter camera and you get a beautiful view of it. He is scared there's no other way to put an. And that's where would teach yet there is no one. Who has kept Milan Lucic from doing what he wants to do your ankle and put up some good. Honest resistance but he's the only guy who has been willing to get it -- is -- -- -- -- is playing that kind of robust game. It aggravates the entire Boston Bruins roster everybody goes out there feel like it. Let's go boys and -- when he carries his team. They hop on and he was he -- IA were really the only guys who peddle their chins up after the first period the other night they were the only guys on the entire roster who had an acceptable for -- -- -- I wore the same which went into. I think we would all be surprised if there's yet another overtime games three straight final -- three straight overtime games but. We talk about one goal in -- is that what the theory that. That's what it is this series looks like eight points with series these are two. Very very. Good maybe great teams playing each other and right now they are bringing out. The best of each -- the single thing that makes playoff hockey the most exciting thing in sports to me is that you see in player team -- its game. And the other team. Either have to clear the bar or fail if they and it rolled over and at a certain point in almost every series in almost every series it could happen. Like lightning as it did in the last. Twelve minutes of the Ronald series or can happen in game one or game 21 team with impose its will on the other and the other will not be able to answer. And if you ruined that at the end of the game two yesterday and it ruins or able to handle the fact that they were in Chicago for the first two games come away with a split. And I AMC whether or not Chicago and the plane in this house right -- mr. -- -- -- house to whatever not but it is but but I'll take it back I don't by the -- the Obama like if you look at her turning point and you know -- we're not far -- along and no pattern has emerged yet practiced well I got it right he gave me a full topic or not -- don't care right now a lot. Well here because it's time for what you're about to break him then what I'll tell you what it's all about the regulatory point was after the -- at -- -- -- -- to -- it to the question any question you got for us or for Jack tactic that 379837. Or -- -- -- On Twitter -- with a thought all W. -- -- the question here in just a moment you got a question for either of us or Jack Edwards 37937. Text that there. We of course -- west and Johnny's right by the garden get ready for the game 8 o'clock tonight all of the sodomized him. I wanna see the creativity people we have Jack Edwards here. The guy who who makes references to outer space guy who as we talked about a lost all sorts of things. Is it your question out of here but I gotta get into the mind of Jack Edwards I wanna see some real good creative Jack Edwards. Me question. Text them to 379837. Even better -- can do it on Twitter use the hash tag ET you get to those in just a moment Jack we cut you off you had that. The number look at a turning point -- -- your team for this series will once -- If the pattern continues at the roads are able to do it to take Chicago's best punch and counterpunch and win. It's what two arrested in the first period of game two that was absolutely -- he stole that game. The Bruins should trailed by three maybe more of -- out of the first period now it's two games to none. I you've got to win both at home. That's real trouble against a team is in Chicago because this Chicago team is better than Vancouver wants. The rules are not gonna run Corey Crawford out here tonight I don't see anyway. -- -- -- 567. Goals against Corey Crawford negate it could happen to play the way they didn't overtime the other night they will do that you can't sustain that for sixty minutes against the club the quality of Chicago cannot sustain that capsule like about the series that makes it's so great. It's point and counterpoint to these two teams are gonna unload everything they have by the time it's all. The handshake line on this series is going to be -- there really is it's gonna take a long time. Because a lot of guys are gonna have a lot of things to say to each other and 99% of it is going to be you know what you showed me so no I've never seen before that's great. And speaking of that you know you mentioned Tuukka Rask gumshoe work that. I don't as -- as the highly trained highly motivated professional athlete he always thought he had this ability to do what he's doing right now. I'm I'm just wondering if there is if there's somebody outside -- there's somebody who. You talked to and they feel that you maybe two or three years ago you know who's got. Great stuff that I am not as good stuff great stuff for them to -- whose efforts. -- -- The goalie consult for the Bruins would sing and they put Julian would sing and even if we -- the -- the cup Robert Thomas with withholding we you know we were listening well. It because were blinded by the group work of Tim Thomas and as you guys have got it Judy you know much more spectacular style. You know to -- reminds me of the table hockey goalie who's on them little semi circular slider right because he just he just you know not that little. Metal lever back and forth in the areas where the -- here recently on -- -- one of those guys that jumped out at you. A couple of your you know I I can't remember it exactly it's more looking in Bob Johnson's eyes when he he -- -- -- and like. No word stupid if he's going to be great and we're seeing the greatest now and when -- opted to -- raspy music you know what's changed over the last three years. -- I got a nicer car. That's about it are mostly pretty -- while we -- have a pretty nice card that pathetic that you behind a couple of cartilage in his right and you can't have a nice garden yet with the got. He drives and our eighth and or which -- yes. Sex on the stick. I mean. Yes these are I don't know what that means but like the perfect leading into the corner of the order -- a couple of applied out of there right now.

I mean seriously. In '07 who did we play first that season and got beat bad?
That's right, the Cowboys. And no I'm not trying to make any similarities. But I am saying some of you overreact to everything.
This team is known to be "slow starters". It takes us a few games to really get rolling.
There have been seasons where we lose the first 2 and win 6 straight. And like last year, we lost 5 of our last 8 and still make the playoffs.
I'm not worried. The season is a long one. We can fix any problems we had last night.

Sweeping changes at Simonton Beach are ushering in a new era and inviting local residents back to the small, sandy beach at the north end of Simonton Street, where clear water and a sandy bottom combine to offer a satisfying downtown public swimming area. But the area has long been a homeless hangout, often keeping would-be beachgoers away.
The city of Key West offered the space for lease and solicited proposals for beach businesses that would increase activity in the area.
Lagerheads Beach Bar and Watersports is that business, and the venture will celebrate a grand opening from 2:30 to 5:30 p.m. Monday.
The food concession, outdoor lounge, and watersports destination at Simonton Beach, will become the only beach bar on the north side of the island that is open to the public.
The eatery, managed by Randy Larsen and Andrea Secson will serve beer, wine, sandwiches, burgers, hot dogs, cheese steaks, and soups such as cheddar ale and steak ale.
"We are going to offer box lunches and delivery to anyone in Key West, including people going out on charter boats," Secson said. "And of course we're happy to cater parties or any other type of function."
Lagerheads is the brainchild of Key West businessman Rick Spencer, owner of Spencer's Boatyard.
The Key West entrepreneur has completed renovations of the food service area and bathrooms at the beach, and has added new sand and landscaping. Beach chairs and umbrellas will be available for rent, and a wide variety of watersports activities will be offered to the public.
"Our business model for the watersports are to offer shorter duration trips at an affordable price." Spencer said. "We are giving the beach back to the community."
Water excursions will include a two-hour fishing trip in the harbor and surrounding areas, as well as snorkeling, eco- tours, and dolphin-watching trips.
A boat ride through the harbor will leave from the Simonton Street dock every hour, on the hour, during the day.
"We will also offer private charters as well as boat rentals, paddle boards and kayaks," Spencer said. "Snorkel equipment along with rods and reels will also be available for rent."
Spencer added that Lagerheads will become an active member of the community, hosting weddings and special events such as fundraisers for local non-profits.
For more information, call 305-440-2906 or stop by 1 Simonton St. Monday afternoon to re-discover one of the island's best little beaches.

Can I use hi-vis yellow to bass fish with.
Is this braid as sensative as mono?
How is this for digging in on itself?
The only problem I have ever encountered with setting drag too high is it may pull the hook(s) out of the fish's mouth.
It depends on your reels line capacity and the amount of line you have. If you havnt got enough line to put on your spool then you can use a secondary line (can be either braid or mono) to help fill up the spool.

Roger "Adolf" Goodell
Office of the Commissioner
345 Park Avenue
New York, NY 10017
Mein Fuhrer,
That is how you address a fascist dictator, hell bent on authoritarian rule, correct? My name is Jonathan Bell. I am a 30 year old season ticket holder of the New Orleans Saints. You remember them, I assume, as you just got finished raping them. As you may have guessed by this point, I am disappointed in your personal handling of the situation. Chiefly, the one year suspension of our head coach Sean Payton. My goal with this letter is to explain to you why I feel your level of severity, with regards to the punishments, was foolish, misguided, and small sighted (considering the surface area of that head of yours). I must say, your Napoleon complex is startling when one ponders the size of your melon-like head. I digress. You see, I'm just trying to let you get to know me; to see this from a fan's perspective… It looks completely different if not seen through your own owl-like eyes. I am a fan. I work hard, I spend more than I need to on my season tickets, and I try to leave the stress at home, every other Sunday, when I go to the Superdome to cheer on my team. I don't sit in the sky boxes, and have my assistant bring me my tea, while I stare lovingly at Bill Belichick from afar, from the comfort of my commissioner's throne made of blood diamonds, and the pelts of 1000 baby seals. That's right. We have not forgotten Spygate. Remember that? When your old buddy Bill, and your friend-with-benefits Tom, actually CHEATED. That slap on the wrist you gave them was so soft and flaccid, it belonged in your pants. I guess you were just saving it for us. People called you soft in high school, and shoved you into lockers, so now, 85 years later, you finally get a chance to show those bastards! You are the parking lot security guard of professional athletics. To be honest, I think you're better suited to the W.N.B.A. I don't know if their top job is open, but I do know your vagina would fit in better there. Or perhaps you could see about a lateral move over to the United States Table Tennis Association. There, you'd never be too far from a paddle… in case someone needed to be punished. I mean, if you are that into sadism, I could make some calls and find some underground clubs for you in New York City. You wouldn't have to fly to Thailand every offseason anymore!
Look, I know you are under a lot of stress. You are facing hundreds of concussion lawsuits, and you needed a scapegoat, ASAP, to make an example of… to show you're really being proactive. And you chose us. Thanks. I'm just saying you were a little heavy handed. You kind of seemed like a drunk frat boy his second week of college. Perhaps you are a drunken frat boy, but I can assure you, you are not in college anymore. For heaven's sake, your hairline is receding faster than the British at the Battle of New Orleans. Its, okay, you can google that. I know the only historical text you're familiar is Mein Kampf. Sorry, that's just not my cup of tea. Besides, I thought you got a little self-indulgent in Chapter 4.
At the end of the day, you have crippled us. The fans get to pay for a product that is not what was promised to us. You get to keep our money, inflate our prices, and deliver a sub-par product for the next couple of years. That's not good business, and I know you know business. The greed is thick in you. Be careful you don't keep fiddling, Nero. I know that every year you want it to be Brady vs. Manning. I get it. You THINK that's what people want to see. It's not. That's what YOU want to see. Plus, that's so 5 years ago, man. Hang it up. You keep trying to make us watch the same movie, over and over again. You're like the George Lukas of the NFL. Only difference being George Lukas fans know ahead of time they are being raped. You like to spring it on people. Why not be creative? Your daydreams about pillowfights with Ed Hochuli don't have to be the only time you use a little creativity. Why not suspend Payton for 4 games, strip his salary for the entire year, and donate it to the NFL Play 60 campaign in New Orleans, or the Boys and Girls Clubs? That way, the fans get what they paid for, Sean gets punished 8 million times, and you still look like the big, mean, abusive stepfather. As I am sure you love hearing from all of the NFL's fans, I encourage my fellow Who Dats to write you at the above address (Park Avenue, classy), or call you at 212-450-2000.
I'll wrap it up (Great advice by the way). I don't want to take away any more of your time from your Faces of Death DVDs, or your Son of Sam coffee table book. I know you need ample time to stroke your Tom Brady action figures, and prance in your Bill Belichick autographed thong. Just remember, the Who Dat Nation is proud, no matter how much genocide you attempt to bring upon us. We have risen before, and we will again.
Your voiceless peasant,
Jonathan Bell
P.S. Next time, instead of worrying about defenders who want to tackle offensive players really hard, you could be more concerned with the number of attacks on opposing teams fans in many of your stadiums… or you could just keep fiddling.

How to grow it:
Late spring is perfect to grow spinach.
Iron and folate-rich, this super vege enjoys warmth, moisture and good drainage and will grow lovely big leaves in these conditions.
Grown at the height of summer, spinach tends to bolt.
Incorporate home-made compost in your soil and cultivate until you have a crumbly loam.
Spinach has quite delicate roots, so avoid lumpy clay soil.
It is best planted in raised beds, or a medium planter or broad pot.
Spinach prefer alkaline soil, so incorporate a little dolomite before planting.
Apply occasional liquid feeds (fish-based is good).
In the kitchen:
I love the way the Japanese serve spinach.
Simmer for a couple of minutes until wilted, then dip in ice water to retain the colour.
Mix a little mirin and soy sauce with the leaves and sprinkle with roasted sesame seeds.
Spinach shouldn't be eaten every day as the leaves are high in oxalic acid.

Leaving Negative Feedback for Non Responsive, Non Paying Group Break Participants
I just wanted to get some opinions on this issue.
Say a person signs up for a group break and I send out a PM telling everyone when it is active and ready to accept payments. When it is about 24 hours to the deadline, I send out another PM to the people who have yet to pay reminding them. Say the person has been online since the PM's have been sent so they have had a chance to read them yet do not pay or send any message back saying they want to drop out or need an extension or something forcing you to replace their spot in the end.
Does this behavior warrant a negative feedback? I wouldn't want someone like this joining my break if they are going to act like this and waste my time.
I believe so in my opinion. If they choose to join that is an agreement
Yes they deserve a negative.
If they tell you before the group break gets half way paid up that something came up or whatever I think that is fair. Negative feedback if they have not told you anything.
I left neutral feedback for 3 group break deadbeats today.
