|Johnny Boychuk helps Bruins find their jam
|03.09.12 at 9:53 am ET
In the midst of a 1-1 game in the third period, the Sabres and Bruins appeared for all the world to be heading for overtime.
Then with just under 10 minutes remaining in the third – BANG – Johnny Boychuk delivers.
No, it wasn't his go-ahead blast from the right point with seven minutes remaining. It was something just as electric and woke everyone up in the building. Boychuk cleanly leveled Sabres star Thomas Vanek at Buffalo's blue line and the tempo had been set for the rest of the game.
"I saw a guy coming back so I could pinch down and I could see [Vanek] wasn't really paying attention too much ' I just wanted to make sure it was a clean hit," Boychuk said. "The fans gave us a little boost and we took it from there."
Shawn Thornton knows a thing or two about physical play and loved what he saw from the hit. To Thornton, the Bruins were playing a solid game and Boychuk's hit just raised the level.
"Yeah, he's a very physical player," Thornton said. "I thought we played a pretty good game so I thought the momentum might have been amped up a little bit more. I thought we were pretty solid most of the night as it was."
There's an expression in hockey for what the Bruins had Thursday night – jam. It's the energy to make things happen on the ice.
Two minutes after Boychuk's wake-up call – just about 15 feet in closer from where he delivered his hit on Vanek – he unloaded one of his characteristic "Johnny Rockets" past Jhonas Enroth and the Bruins had the lead for good in a 3-1 win over the Sabres at TD Garden.
"It was just like a scramble play and I saw the puck coming through and I just decided I'll go down and try to rip it home," Boychuk said. "It's just, you see the play developing and I know [Patrice Bergeron] is good defensively, so if I go down and get that puck I know he's going to be backing me up."
Boychuk was asked if he were actually aiming the puck to an open spot above Enroth's shoulder, the mere suggestion of which made Boychuk laugh.
"Well, I was aiming of course," Boychuk laughed. "I hit him in the belly a couple of times and one went through him so you know, try to just put it on top."
|Johnny Boychuk and the Bruins know it'll be a bruising fight to the finish
|03.11.11 at 11:59 am ET
One look at the face of Johnny Boychuk tells you all you need to know about what kind ending is in store for the Bruins in the last month of the regular season.
A fight to the finish to be sure.
While all the focus was on Zdeno Chara and the firestorm of controversy over his hit on Max Pacioretty, Boychuk was playing his first game since suffering quite the shiner below his left eye in a fight with Montreal's Ryan White a period earlier. Boychuk echoed the sentiment of the Bruins when he said he was happy to see Chara drill Jason Pominville with a clean hit early in the first period.
"He's not going to change the way he's going to play," Boychuk said. "He's a big man and he's our team leader. You wouldn't want him to change his game because I like seeing the physicalness in his game."
On Thursday, Boychuk and the Bruins found themselves in a different sort of battle – one with the officials.
The Bruins killed off the first four penalties against them but Buffalo capitalized on two of the next three to help erase a 2-0 Bruins lead early.
"It's kind of tough to give a 60-minute effort when we're always killing penalties like that," Boychuk said. "I don't know if they're good calls or bad calls but it definitely takes a toll on some guys in the dressing room when you've got guys killing penalties all the time. And some of those guys are also play power play so they're going to be out there more than others and by the end of the game, they're going to be tired."
The other concern of late – during the three-game losing streak – is the lack of discipline and focus over 60 minutes.
"I think that we had that when we were on that winning streak," fellow B's blueliner Adam McQuaid said. "For the most part we had sixty-minute effort. The last few games there have been very highs and very lows, so I think the biggest thing is to get back to that sixty- minute effort."
Seven different minor penalties were called on the B's, including two with the Bruins already a man down that created 5-on-3 chances for the Sabres. The Bruins killed off the first but weren't so lucky the second time in the third period as the Sabres tied the game and won it in overtime.
Boychuk knew going into the game with the Sabres Thursday night that they would be facing a desperate team.
"We did play them in the playoffs last year and they're fighting for their playoff spot so we didn't expect them to roll over and die on us," Boychuk said.
That will be the same approach the Bruins can expect from just about every team they play from here on out.
Even the Islanders, who are out of the playoff picture in the East, could play spoiler when they take on the Bruins tonight in Nassau County on Long Island.
Before dropping their third straight Thursday, the Bruins started their seven-game win streak against the Islanders on Feb. 17 on Long Island.
"Might as well start another one," Boychuk said. "Why not?"
|Mark Recchi hears Claude Julien loud and clear: 'That's what happens when you don't have everyone going'
|01.21.11 at 1:16 pm ET
Following another head-scratching performance Thursday ' when the Bruins blew a pair of one-goal leads on home ice and lost, 4-2, to the Sabres ' venerable B's spokesman Mark Recchi again called out his teammates for not giving it their all.
"We didn't have everybody going, and that's what happens when you don't have everybody going. And when we've got 20 people going, we're just really tough to play against," Recchi opined. "We don't have everybody going [on] all cylinders and competing at the level we should you know it just makes it hard for us. And I think we know that and we've been a lot better at it lately and more consistent and we just have to keep learning from these ones that when we do have these, that there's reasons why."
There was a very good reason for Recchi's post-game ego check following a week that saw them score a pair of seven-goal wins. They also had a pair of losses in which they managed two goals apiece. The Bruins need more consistency all around if they're going to make April and May truly meaningful.
He believes they can and so does coach Claude Julien, who matched Recchi's sentiment almost word for word
Thursday night.
"Well there's no doubt," Julien began. "I don't think from start to finish, I don't think there's much to say here except that we were totally flat, from the first player to the last. So it's not about pointing to one or pointing to the other, we came out flat tonight and never seemed to find our game. Even in the third period, you are coming in there tied and you got an opportunity, twenty minutes again, to seal your fate and it just wasn't happening tonight
"We were flat. I'm not saying guys were bad, I'm saying we were flat tonight so that's the thing that I, you know, we kind of talked about after the game, is that from the first player to the last, just didn't have it."
The Bruins did put 40 shots on U.S. Olympic goalie Ryan Miller but only two got through, none in the third period when the Sabres took over.
"He made some lucky ones, he made some great saves," Recchi said. "We had a lot of traffic. You know he's a good goalie. But he made the saves he had to make and a couple snuck behind him and he got some help but that's what happens when you're a goalie, you make those saves."
Recchi said the 40 shots were nice but not good enough.
"It wasn't our game, no it wasn't what we're capable of doing," Recchi said. "And we'll just have to regroup. We've got a tough trip ahead of us and we're a pretty good road team so we have to again learn that consistency is going to be a big part of us being a very '¦ a great team instead of just a real good team, and we're getting there and we gotta keep pushing along here."
That push continues Saturday in Colorado and Monday in Los Angeles against the Kings ' perhaps with just a little more purpose behind it.
|Mark Stuart to be evaluated for 'upper body injury'
|12.07.10 at 11:01 pm ET
It's the dreaded "upper body injury" for Bruins defenseman Mark Stuart.
Stuart played just four shifts in the first period Tuesday night before suffering an undisclosed ailment, according to Bruins coach Claude Julien.
"He'll be evaluated and let you know [Wednesday]," Julien said. "We'll give you more [Wednesday] and he needs to be evaluated. We need to give you the right information."
The Bruins defenseman totaled three minutes, 56 seconds on the ice in the first period before being forced out of the game. The Bruins practice Wednesday in Wilmington before hosting the New York Islanders on Thursday night at TD Garden. Julien did not speculate on Stuart's availability on Thursday or Saturday, when the Bruins host the Flyers.
|Bruins slam the door on the Sabres
|04.26.10 at 9:40 pm ET
Summary — For the second straight season the Boston Bruins are headed to the Eastern Conference semifinals as they closed out their series against the Sabres with a 4-3 win at TD Garden on Monday night. Tuukka Rask earned the first series-clinching victory of his young career with 27 of saves while Ryan Miller was the loser, allowing four goals on 32 Boston shots.
The Bruins got on the board first with their fifth power play strike of the series. Mark Recchi shot from the right wing with David Krejci in the slot, slightly off-center from Miller. Krejci got enough stick on the puck to change its direction ever so slightly but enough to get it into the net for his second of the series at 13:39. It was the first time in the series that Boston scored the first goal of the game and entered the second period with a lead.
The Bruins took a two-goal lead early in the second period, again on the power play, this time a 4-on-3 with Zdeno Chara, Tim Connolly and Henrik Tallinder in the box. Krejci and Recchi were the culprits again, this time switched around as Krejci used the extra space to pick apart the Sabres triangle defense with a cross through the slot to Recchi on Miller's doorstep for the pop in goal at 1:01.
The Sabres got one back in second period when an aggressive forecheck led to a couple snap passes to Patrick Kaleta wide open in front of Rask. Kaleta flipped it up and Rask had no chance to make it a 2-1 game at 6:34. The strike was Kaleta's first of the series.
The teams traded goals within a minute of each other midway through the third period. The first was scored by Krejci on a snap shot to the side of Miller's crease after receiving the puck from behind the goal line at 7:18. Former Boston College product Nathan Gerbe kept Buffalo's playoff dream alive by bringing the Sabres back within a goal at 7:40 for his first career playoff strike.
Miroslav Satan got the goal back at 14:49 with his second of the playoffs when he beat Miller off a centering pass from Dennis Wideman that deflected off Milan Lucic as he passed through the crease. Thomas Vanek then brought the Sabres back yet again as Buffalo operated for the last two minutes with an empty net. He beat Rask at 18:47 to push the action to the final seconds of the game.
Three Stars
David Krejci — Opened the scoring with a tip goal passed Miller and put the helped on the second with a zip pass to set up Recchi. He added the game-winner in the third to cap his three-point night.
Mark Recchi — The veteran forward registered his 75th career postseason assist in the first period and scored his third goal of the series in the second. The strike was the 53rd of his playoff career.
Milan Lucic — Got two big assists in the third period for his first playoff points of the year in the Bruins biggest game of the year.
Turning Point — Krejci's second goal of the game gave the Bruins a cushion that would prove essential as Gerbe brought the Sabres back within a goal 22-seconds later. The puck was pushed from behind the goal line by Milan Lucic to Krejci on the elbow of Miller's crease for the snap shot goal at 7:18. Gerbe's goal was unassisted after taking the puck off the half wall and turning with a whipcord to go far side on Rask to keep the Sabres playoff hopes alive.
Key Play — Satan's goal sealed it as he crashed the net to put a Dennis Wideman centering pass into the net at 14:41 of the third. Lucic had cleared the way for the puck as he passed through the crease moments before and deflected the pass slightly to earn the primary assist on the play, his second of the period.
|No suspension for Chara
|04.24.10 at 2:01 pm ET
The Bruins were never concerned that they would be without their big man for Game 6 on Monday. In their eyes the real instigator in the mini-brawl as time expired on Game 5 was Paul Gaustad and his slashing stick that set captain Zdeno Chara off and he began punching Gaustad and any other Sabre in the immediate vicinity.
That was just about every other Sabre on the ice. Nathan Gerbe and Cody McCormick entered the fray and the three of them toppled Chara like and Oregonian red wood. Even Ryan Miller got into the act as the pile on Chara thickened with both Sabres and Bruins as the goaltender came in and tried to pull Miroslav Satan out of it only to get tangled in it himself.
"To me I wasn't even worried because I could not see it [a suspension] happening," coach Claude Julien said. "It did not take long for them to rescind that stuff and it just didn't make any sense, you know, a guy gets slashed behind the leg with a two-hander and he just turns around and takes a pop and three guys jump him. Where does all this stuff come from? I don't know. It is just common sense and I just felt he didn't deserve it."
The Bruins players made available to the media Saturday morning at TD Garden were instantly dismissive of the notion that Chara would ultimately receive the instigator-within-five-minutes-of-the-end-of-a-game suspension. Andrew Ference did not even think it was a real fight even though Chara took a five-minute fighting major though Gaustad did not.
"That wasn't even a fight, an instigator is when there is a fight and that wasn't a fight," Ference said. "The guy clearly slashed in in the ankle on the ice, if you really want to talk instigator so, but there was no fight so it was not an issue."
Did Gaustad think he could have gotten away with the slash because the clock was expiring? Maybe he was thinking it would be a tit-for-tat move after Johnny Boychuk took out the Sabres best player, Thomas Vanek, with a slash in Game 2. The difference in the situations of the hits is clear. Boychuk was defending a partial breakaway in a one goal game. Chara was skating towards the bench areas after the Sabres had cleared the puck out of their zone with second remaining in a game that his team had already won.
"We stand up for ourselves too. It is about doing it at the right time. Sometimes a guy takes a cheap shot at you at the time of the game it gives you a power play and you say well 'OK, I know who it is and it is a long game.' But the game is over there. Obviously it was a cheap shot and it was unwarranted, the two-hander and he responded so I don't think there is any damage there this time except listen, we will turn the cheek when it is time to and there's times when you have to stand up for yourselves and he stood up for himself," Julien said.
|Boston storms back to take Game 4 in double overtime
|04.21.10 at 10:46 pm ET
Summary — The Bruins took a dominating lead in their Eastern Conference quarterfinal playoff series against the Sabres with a 3-2 win at TD Garden on Wednesday night. Miroslav Satan scored the game winner for Boston in double overtime. Tuukka Rask took the win for Boston while Ryan Miller got the loss after giving away a 2-0 lead in the third period. The Bruins now lead the series 3-1 heading into Game 5 in Buffalo on Friday.
Boston entered the third period trailing by two goals but fought back in the first six minutes of the period to tie it. David Krejci got the first for Boston eights second into what was its fourth power play attempt of the night when he put a rebound off a Matt Hunwick shot from the high slot passed Miller at 2:07. Patrice Bergeron would then tie it when he got a bouncing puck coming off Daniel Paille's stick from behind the net for the one-timer on the circle that Miller could not corral at 6:40.
For the fourth consecutive game, the Sabres got on the board first with a strike within the first 10 minutes of the first period. This time, the goal came at a relatively early 2:12 off the stick of Tim Kennedy when he found a bouncing puck loose in the slot in front of Rask and rushed for the slap shot that the net-minder had no chance at to make it 1-0.
Buffalo took a 2-0 lead at 6:59 in the second when former Bruins Steve Montador lined up a slap shot on the right point in such a precise manner that it would have to travel through a series of players in front of Miller to find the net. The puck had eyes ' it deflected off a Boston defenseman and went through the skates of Paul Gaustad camped out in front of Rask. It was Montador's first goal of the playoffs.
Three Stars
Miroslav Satan — The Bruins forward got the game-winner in double overtime.
Patrice Bergeron — Scored the game-tying goal in the third period off a shot similar to his Game 3 winner except from the other side.
David Krejci — Got the Bruins on the board when his astute play in front of the net on the power play resulted in a rebound strike to beat Miller.
Turning Point — Boston got broke the power play seal after three misfires to cut the Sabres lead in half in the third period. Mark Recchi pushed the puck from the right slot to Hunwick who waited for two stick-handles before sending the puck on net, getting tangled near the skates of Bergeron before bouncing out to Krejci who side stepped and put it in an open net to make it 2-1.
Key Play — Tuukka Rask had a flying leap on a Michael Grier shot a little more than halfway through the third period on a play where he was way out of position on the other side of the crease.

Nationals lay out bush telegraph
Page Tools
Telecommunications services in the bush could be "future-proofed" if billions of dollars from the full privatisation of Telstra are spent on providing a new service network, the National Party's think tank says.
The Page Research Centre said it had already been approached by a business consortium that said it could provide, for $7 billion, a fibre-optic network over five years to people in non-metropolitan areas.
A wireless network could be rolled out for less. A third option is to fund local government to provide "community" networks, and a fourth option invites a private company to cover the "last mile" between homes and the Telstra trunk and be handed exclusive customer access for a certain time.
The report, Future-Proofing Telecommunications in Non-Metropolitan Australia, indicates what the Liberal Party will have to agree to to win the support of its Coalition partner over the sale of the remaining 50 per cent of Telstra - tipped to fetch $30 billion.
The centre's report says people in non-metropolitan areas will only get service and price parity if there is telecommunications competition, something that cannot happen while Telstra and its copper-cable network dominate infrastructure.
"One major step toward fair competition is the establishment of telecommunications infrastructure which is independent of service providers. Economic and social development in non-metropolitan areas hinges on telecommunications that are progressive and first class."
The Federal Government would retain ownership of any new network and lease out access to companies like Telstra.
The report notes a Telstra estimate that a fibre-optic network would cost $30 billion to install over 20 years.
One of the report's principal authors, Barnaby Joyce, a Queensland Senator-elect who has been outspoken on telecommunications, said: "This is not a statement about the sale of Telstra, nor is it policy. It's a discussion paper."
Mr Joyce said he remained guided by the policy of the Queensland Nationals, who advocate no privatisation until services in the bush are greatly improved and full parity with metropolitan areas on price and service is guaranteed in perpetuity. He added that Penrith and Campbelltown were examples of "regional areas" he had in mind for the fibre-optic rollout.
The vice-president of the NSW Farmers Association, Rob Anderson, said the report vindicated his argument that services in the bush were still poor.
The report also recommends reviews "at least every three years" to ensure parity between metropolitan and non-metropolitan services. Parliament was yesterday debating legislation for reviews of Telstra's non-metropolitan services every five years.
· Investigate new fibre-optic and wireless networks outside the main cities
· Force telecommunications firms to adhere to international customer service standards
· Give more resources and policing powers to regulators and watchdogs

Live8 begins in Japan

Japanese fans cheer as the pop group McFLY performs during the Live 8 Japan concert on the outskirts of Tokyo.
Photo: AP
With blaring guitars and images of pot-bellied starving children, Japan today kicked off a global series of concerts aiming to pressure the industrialised world's politicians to eradicate African poverty.
The crowded concert hall on the outskirts of Tokyo dimmed at 2pm (1500 AEST) as three video screens showed footage of African street children. Then the Japanese band Rize jumped on stage to open the global extravaganza with their mix of hard rock and hip hop.
"Let's use fun to spread peace!" Rize's heavily tattooed frontman, Jesse, shouted to the crowd as he began Live 8, the biggest music show on Earth with 10 gigs across continents featuring 1,000 artists.
Rize was followed by British rockers McFly, with Icelandic pop diva Bjork and American post-grunge band Good Charlotte also due on stage in Japan. In between shows artists and fans clicked their fingers every three seconds to symbolise how often a child dies from extreme poverty.
"I am very honoured to be asked to participate in an event that for me has potential to have a massive effect on them stubborn politicians," Bjork, who is performing live for the first time in two years, said in a statement.
The indoor venue in Makuhari, on the outskirts of Tokyo, holds up to 20,000 people. Organisers distributed 10,000 tickets free or as donations, with the exact attendance yet to be confirmed.
Japan, which is a member of the Group of Eight industrialised nations which hold a summit from Thursday in Scotland, was a late addition to the charity concerts spearheaded by rocker-turned-activist Bob Geldof.
Rize leader Jesse, asked what message he wanted to send to Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi ahead of the G8 summit, said: "Wake up!"
"It's a good event for Africa. Not just for Africa, but for the world," Jesse, the son of pioneering Japanese rock guitarist Char, told reporters after leaving the stage.
Geldof, who was behind the Live Aid fundraising charity concerts for Africa in 1985, hopes the event will focus a huge global effort into pressuring the G8 leaders to strike a deal on debt, aid and trade for Africa.
Concert-goer Shigemi Imai, 32, said the video display of African poverty before the show began left a mark on her.
"Africa is geographically very far from Asia and it's difficult to imagine what's going on there. If the Live 8 concert tells of poverty in Africa, then it has meaning," she said.
Her husband Hiroaki Imai, 34, said he was also concerned about Africa - but mostly came to see Bjork.
"I like Bjork and when Japan was added to Live 8 I decided to come. In my daily life, though, I also think about Africa," he said.
"When I see people on the street asking for donations I'm worried about where my money goes. But charity events like this should be done more so that younger people can take an interest," he said.
Organisers said the event would be broadcast to a potential television audience of 5.5 billion viewers, though coverage in Japan and most of Asia was limited to pay TV or satellite channels with limited audiences.
A record crowd of more than 200,000 were expected in London's Hyde Park for Live 8's main event featuring a dream cast including pop-rock giants Coldplay along with Ms Dynamite, Snoop Dogg, Dido and legends led by the ex-Beatle Paul McCartney along with Madonna, Annie Lennox, Sting, the Who, U2, REM and a special reunion of psychedelic rockers Pink Floyd, among others.
But critics in Britain have argued Live 8 will simply serve to boost the profile and sales of pop stars and their record labels while the line-up featured relatively few black acts.
In Philadelphia, eight hours after the Tokyo concert begins, Beyonce and Destiny's Child along with Will Smith were to headline another lineup loaded with stars including Stevie Wonder and Bon Jovi.

Brandon Conner of Westlake created this cigar box-top bar in his home. (Rita LeBleu / American Press)
Last Modified: Tuesday, January 14, 2014 11:35 AM
By Rita LeBleu / American PressSometimes a cigar is just a cigar. But in the case of Brandon Conner of Westlake, the cigar was just the thing to give him the inspiration for a distinctive bar countertop in his Westlake home, which features many one-of-a-kind standouts.
Conner doesn't smoke. Nor does he dip. But he does light up a good cigar on occasion, usually when he's in the mood to celebrate, he said. "A good cigar is normally considered an aged cigar that has had time to mature, rolled by a master with hand-selected tobacco, not machine-made or mass-produced," he said.
For quite some time, Conner has been noticing various countertop applications — even before he and wife Natalie decided to build. He's seen plenty of ceramic tile designs, noticed pennies under coats of polyurethane, bottle caps at a local casino and while on vacation in Playa del Carmen, Mexico, he saw an entire bar covered with cigar papers with a clear-coat topping.
That's when he came up with the idea to use cigar box tops to surface his bar countertop, something he has not seen. He had a couple of cigar boxes and, in a nod to nostalgia, even used the King Edward box that his grandfather had used to store coins. Some of the box tops were from Cuban cigars that aren't sold here. He got those at shops in Mexico. He also asked Cigar Club's Robin Halker for a few. Other cigar box top brands used include National Sportsman, My Father and Admiration.
Conner arranged the tops and applied the protective coating, an application process that involved mixing two separate packages, which results in a chemical interaction that creates a hard lacquer finish regardless of humidity.
The wood chosen to create the cabinets, shelves and wine rack is walnut. Conner chose a dark stain and the drawer pull is an iron handle from a circa 1800 grain cart that Conner picked up from an antique dealer in North Dakota.
Currently he's on the hunt for the perfect vintage mirror glass.
Photos of his uncle, his grandfathers and the American flag are displayed, along with other popular bar-branded items.
Conner said that Natalie would only give him the go-ahead to design two of the home's living spaces. She took care of the rest.
In the second space, the outside living area, he used large-beamed rough-cut lumber for window headers and recycled tin for the porch ceiling. These items were re-claimed from an old hay barn. Antique industrial lights found on eBay work perfectly with the beams, the tin and the porch columns. The columns appear to have a verdigris finish. Conner said the material is actually unfinished steel-coated pipeline. It's a perfect fit for this third-generation oil field worker.
He was a fireman for years. Now he does oil well completion work in North Dakota where the temperature this past week dipped down to "50 degrees below zero with the wind chill factored in," he said.
On his wife's side of the family, there's a connection to famous oil well firefighter Red Adair upon whom the John Wayne movie "Hellfighters" was loosely based. Among the Conners' art prints is a signed, framed photo of Adair.
The pièce de résistance in the outside area designed by Conner is a gate welded of rebar that includes crossed pistols from Ricky's Welding, formed from the same cast as those used when refurbishing the decorative ironwork on the Lake Charles I-10 bridge.
Other standout features include a TV in the bathroom. (Conner doesn't want to miss a single play when his teams are on. He joked that growing up, he thought his dad was anti-New Orleans Saints because of the disgust he expressed when watching games. Later he found out that his dad was just disgusted at the team's performance.)
The fireplace has hand-carved corbels and some of the bricks are from the old city hall that burned.
The light fixtures do more than shed brightness. Not the typical builder's package, these add ambiance and many were selected locally from Joseph's Electrical Center.
Signed and numbered Mardi Gras prints, and a signed and numbered Eddie Morman print are displayed in the home. (The latter was acquired when Morman surprised the entire fire department by showing up with signed prints after the department put out the color-blind painter's studio fire. Hand-carved corbels grace the kitchen and fireplace mantle woodwork.)
Wrangler Construction built the Conner's home located in the Augusta Village Development near the National Golf Course of Louisiana.

Benchmark Reviews has decided to use the HDD Test Suite to demonstrate simulated real-world storage drive performance in this article.
PCMark Vantage runs eight drive tests, each with a specific purpose. Once the benchmarking test were complete, the results are given a PCMark score while the detailed result show actual transaction speeds. The 120GB ADATA S511 Solid State Drive, model AS511S3-120GM-C, produced a total HDD Test Suite score of 48082 in PCMark Vantage:
Our tests were conducted on an Intel P67 Sandy Bridge motherboard using the onboard SATA 6Gb/s controller with 64-bit Windows 7. Results are displayed in the chart below:
In the next section I share my conclusion and share the final product rating.
The second half of that sentence is not a logical conclusion to the first. If something has 0% improvement, it means it has not improved at all. It does not facilitate a declaration it is the same technology although that is usually the case.
As a matter of cat I have a MAX IOPS drive up for review as I type. And guess what.
One NAND chips worth of data density was set aside for OP and EC. 16 times 16GB = 256 GB not 240...
Only trying to help.

Arsenal Soccer School youngsters enjoyed a night to remember at Emirates Stadium on Monday October 7 when Arsenal Under-21s welcomed Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Barclays Premier Under-21s League.
Ten football mad youngsters were specially selected by Arsenal Soccer Schools to form a guard of honour for the teams when they took to the pitch.
The group also got to take a behind the scenes tour of the Emirates pre-match, and had the chance to meet some of the Gunners' Under-21 team.

Interstate Compact
The Interstate Compact on the Placement of Children is a uniform law enacted by all 50 states, the District of Columbia and the U.S. Virgin Islands to ensure protection and services to children who are placed across state lines for foster care, temporary placement for services in residential treatment facilities between party states, or as a preliminary to adoption. The compact establishes uniform guidelines and procedures to ensure these placements promote the best interests of each child.
Common questions about ICPC include:
- How do I move my grandchild or minor relative from another state?
- How do I send my minor relative child to another state to live?
- What forms do I need for ICPC?
- I want to adopt a child from another state, what do I need to know about ICPC?
Types of placements covered:
- Placement preliminary to adoption
- Placements into foster homes, group homes, residential treatment facilities, and institutions
- Placements with parents or relatives when a parent or relative is not making the placement
- Placements of adjudicated delinquents in institutions in other states
Not all placements of children into other party states are subject to compliance with the compact. Compact compliance is not required for placements made in medical or psychiatric hospitals, institutions for the mentally ill or in boarding schools, or any institution primarily educational in nature.
The compact must be used by:
- A state party to the compact, or any officer or employee of a party state
- A subdivision of the party state, such as a county or city, or any officer or employee of the subdivision
- A court of a party state
- Any person (including parents and relatives in some instances), corporation, association, charitable agency, or other entity which sends, brings, or causes to be sent or brought any child to another party state

I don't even bother trying to transport more then one or two tanks at a time, and never with infantry. Is there something i'm missing? Do I really need to move my troops accross the sea in 6 unit chunks? Makes invading China tough as Japan.

valve cover gasket keeps leaking!
Well, i'm on my second set of valve cover gaskets and now they are leaking.
My first set (Felpro cork) on the new engine had about 1500 miles when they started leaking bad. I talked to the machine shop and they suggested the new black composite HP gaskets. Put them on about a month ago and now they are leaking and i'm getting pissed.
I"ve been putting them on dry as I don't like the mess of having to scrape off all the gasket sealer crap when I pull the covers.
My son has the high dollar silicone/steel core gaskets on his 400 and its as dry as a bone, BUT, I have stock heads and don't have the nice smooth machined surface for those gaskets to seal against. I have stock heads with the rounded bumpy surface.
I'm running the Proform tall covers. They are flat and straight and don't bend at the bolts, so I don't think they are the problem. I also have a good working PCV system so pressure is not an issue either.
I don't like having to glue them on but i'm open for suggestions to stop the leaks.
Any ideas?
Buy the basic cork gaskets and coat them good with vaseline, let them sit a while and use your fingers to press it in, the gasket will absorb it, it`ll keep them moist and they seal a lot better and keep a seal for a long time. if your using just a bolt and not a load spreader I`d get some load spreaders. also make sure you go back and check the bolts tightness after a few days run time.
I agree with D.V., load spreaders will help on stamped valve covers! On problems like yours my solution would be to use the double thickness cork gaskets (make sure that your bolts are long enough) and clean the mating surfaces with alcohol before assembly! This has been a sure fix for me over the years!! Personally, I don't like putting silicon or anything on the gaskets because they slip around as soon as you start tightening the bolts!
If you are using a stamped steel cover, I've had good luck using a thin film of rtv to cement the gasket to the valve cover (letting it dry) and using the long load spreaders. I use the VS12869AC Fel-Pro gasket. It's cork and is thicker than the normal one.
Thanks everyone for the replies. Guess its off to the store again! Last set the machine shop gave me, but I don't want to push my welcome. LOL
The Proform covers are 3 times thicker than stock (or so they claim). They are heavy and i've not noticed any bending around the bolt holes like on stock GM covers.
In the "old days", I'd glue the gasket to the covers with 3M Weatherstrip adhesive and then put them on and had good luck, but I hated the job of removing the glue after it dried.
As soon as my son finishes putting a compressor and drier on his buddies Honda, guess I'll pull my truck in and go to work. Glad its an easy job! My wifes '86 smogger Caprice is in need of VC gaskets too, but they are buried under a mile of hoses, brackets and wires. That one may take all day.
I still use yellow 3M to glue cork gaskets to the covers, & Permatex #3 (aviation) or Super 300 liquid on the bottom side. Let the Permatex soak in, then brush on some more. Add load spreaders, & as long as the flange is straight, it works fine. Cork gaskets should be retightened after a week or two, & again after a year or so. A soak in gasoline will loosen the 3M if you need to remove it.

valve cover gaskets
J-Mark ; Im not trying to be smart , but why would you worry about cleaning off the gasket goop or dont like to . I mean you dont change them that often do you. the main thing is not leaking and silicone peels off when your going to redo . I think youve been doing them right by gluing the gasket to the valve cover all along ! thats the way Ive always done it ; then you can usually remove the cover to readjust the valves etc. Like what one of the guys said I would coat the bottom cork with something to soften it up. the only problem I ever had was with an S10 that I sols about a year ago: the passenger valve cover leaked when I got it and it leaked when I got rid of it . I tried every thing , straightening the holes etc. I believe there was some kind of defect in the head ! sounds crazy but ! Got a new valve cover for it but someone offered me a thousand dollars so I sold that headache . I dumped alot of good oil down her and sucked in alot off it after burning on the exhaust . If possible Ive always used aluminum covers on my Chevys. thanks
Mark, I too have the Proform stamped steal rocker covers on my sbc. The heads have the rough 'as casted' surface for the gaskets to seal against, but to my surprise Mark they're not leaking 8 months after installation! I bought the re-usable rubber gaskets and used RTV silicone to seal them onto the rocker covers. I used clothes pegs to hold the gaskets into placed whilst the silastic cured. I particularly concentrated the pegs around the corners as the gaskets were wanting to pull inwards. With the silastic cured, I had perfectly fitted gaskets on the rocker covers and I knew that the gaskets will stay in position during assembly. I also knew that there's no way oil was going to seep between the rockers and the gaskets due to the cured silastic. I did'nt use any silastic between the gaskets and the heads to assist in future removal of the covers. I used the load spreaders supplied and used firm, but not excessive pressure on the bolts.
In your case, you may have an irregular casting surface that may be contributing to your problem. I'm suggesting for you to jack up the car one side at a time to get the cylinder heads level to keep the oil off the head rails. Clean the rails with solvent then dry them with a clean rag/paper towel. Now you'll have the perfect opportunity the positively seal this bugger. With the gasket already fitted and sealed onto the rocker cover apply RTV silicone to the gasket and fit the rocker cover onto the dry head rail and torque it down. Leave the car up on its side for 2 hours or more and repeat the same on the other side. Or you could just wipe the excess oil away from the head assembly rather than lifting the car on its side, but you'll always find that persistent oil dribble reappearing. Any oil contamination would render the RTV silicone seal as useless. Rob
I use Mr. Gasket...........the ones with the double cork and metal in between. The number escapes me at this time. The speed shop here in town keeps them in stock...........for all the dirt track boys.
They are kinda HIGH....... but they work for me....
I gave up on cork gaskets and now use Fel-Pro's #1628 silicone based gaskets on my SBC. They work great (at least with aluminum valve covers), no mess and they are reusable. For $46.95, they have been worth every penny. Good luck, Ed www.edgesz28.com
If God were to ask you;Why should I let you into my Heaven?;, what would you say? If you are not sure, then click Here.
Ok, I give in! I"m off to Checker for some 3M and Permatex #2, just like I used to do it. I can't stand the leaks! And I don't like seeing my synthetic oil ($$$$) dripping either.
LOL Nice pretty engine, nice clean driveway. I may have a spare pair of the Felpro cork, so i'll give it one more try before trying the 'spensive ones like my son used.
I am just going to throw this out there.......Why not get you a set of $50 cast aluminum ebay covers instead of spending money on gaskets. I have a cheap set from ebay with straight cork gaskets and they seal tight.
Well, after tightening the VCs one more time last week and then cleaning the engine AGAIN!, the leaks continued, so today I got my new cork gaskets and glued them to my Proform covers with Yellow Death, then gooed up the other side with Permatex #2 and nailed em down. Let it set for 4 hours before firing. Cleaned the engine again and will see how this goes.
I have the same covers but short ones.
I use the cork felpro gaskets.I put um on so that the 4hole side(ones with the 265 bolt pattern)is up near the intake.I clean the cover rails w/ brakleen I coat the valve cover with Ultra blue RTV just a skim,I spread it on with my finger then stick the gasket on to the cover then fill the 265 holes with asmall dap and wipe it flush and bolt um on after a few minutes of cureing.
Works good for me.
I also have stock heads w/ the as cast rails.

Sorry I haven't checked back sooner! To answer a question above, it was originally designed as a file cart for hanging file folders. You would hang the folders across the top of the unit (where my ironing surface is), and then there would be some clear space underneath, and office supplies would go into the baskets at the bottom. I have the basket shelf positioned really low, but if you were using it for its intended purpose, that shelf would be a little higher. You can still find these online or in some stores, but I wasn't able to find any with the drawers like mine has. Most of the newer ones have the drawers on the side. Here's one example: http://www.walmart.com/ip/Advantus-M...Black/14916417. Here's a simpler, cheaper style (no drawers though): http://www.walmart.com/ip/Alera-Sing...Black/12086292.
How awesome! I've been thinking about something like this ever since seeing Sandy's. I hope to come across a cart at Goodwill, etc.

2001 Toyota Avalon XL 3.0 24v V6 VVi from North America
Crossing my fingers for long reliable ride for the extra money spent
General Comments:
Not as ergonomic as I would like.
Paid 100 under invoice from a dealer found online.
Gauges hard to see through the steering wheel.
Lots of interior space.
Noise reduction is good.
Trip odometers are not separate from the odometer, and far to reach to reset, but fair size numbers in the LCD.
The 2000 Taurus SEL we have is noisier, but more on the surface for the money, and more fun to drive with good seating space also.
Upper holder above the rear view mirror is too small for the garage door opener or much else. Door closing pockets should be larger to fit CDs.
Styling is not much, but the finish seems very good.
Cup holders in line with shifter for the bucket seat setup, which is not that good.
Elbow supports are too far from steering wheel for holding ease. Captains chairs in vans are the best for driving comfort for me.
Hoping for long mileage, and the dealer seems slightly better than other American car dealerships.
Hard to see the shifting position indicators.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Don't Know
Review Date: 9th February, 2001

I have been reading the comments on Toyota Avalon as I prepare to go into the market for my next car. I now own a l996 Buick custom LeSabre and it has been a "super" car. It has been driven about 50,000 miles. I am wondering why I would want anything other than a Buick.
15th Dec 2003, 11:20
...probably because Buicks don't appeal to anybody under the age of 70. I drove a very noisy and annoying 2003 Century as a rental car for a week, and I wore dark sunglasses the whole time so that no one would recognize me.
27th Jul 2004, 11:37
And Avalons don't appeal to anyone under 60.
26th Jun 2006, 20:24
Hmm Buicks. I advise you to check out Buick LeSabre reviews for the year 2000. Nice window problems.
19th Dec 2006, 17:53
I would rather have to replace the window regulator like in my Bonneville (only happened once) than replace the whole entire engine like in my GRANDMOTHER'S Avalon. She is 67, just like one other person I know who has one with the same problem.
25th Aug 2014, 13:13
Did your grandmother fail to replace the timing belt? That is a maintenance requirement, and if left undone, yes you will damage the engine. These cars literally have bulletproof reliability.
26th Aug 2014, 11:45
I would wear dark sunglasses as well in a 1970 Buick GS 455 Big Block with the convertible version. Same frame shared on the GTO, 442 etc. A fantastic Buick that appealed to me at only 25 years old.

Fitness training on gymnastic rings
Ring L-Sit
The L-sit exercise is a great core strength hold, that really challenges the abdominals and develops impressive strength and endurance in the hips and triceps too. It's also an exercise that looks impressive to anybody watching.
Performing the L-Sit on gymnastic rings is more difficult that on the ground or using a fixed bar because you have the ring instability and support hold to contend with. To carry out the L-Sit on rings simply assume the support position with your legs bent at 90 degrees from the hips, so you are shaped like the letter L whilst your arms support your bodyweight.
Your legs must be horizontal to the ground if you are performing the L-Sit correctly. To develop the skill and attain the 90 degree angle you can start by achieving a hanging L position which most people find easier to do. You can also try working one leg at a time - one leg is in the L position and the other bent. You can alternate between the legs until you have developed the abdominal strength to maintain the hold with both legs.
The hanging ring L-sit is pictured below:

It's true about change, " The Key to Change is to Let Go of Fear" …
It's sometimes scary
Taking a first step to accomplish something you want to change, it's not always easy. You have to just give it a try, and move 🙂 and no matter what the change is, you can do it. I have so many causes I believe in and I am an activist. I take my own little small steps to try and change things in the world. That's what we all can do. I used to say " I want to save the world " … I still do, in my own small way. I really won't give up 🙂
Even if what you want to change is something in your own life, it's a bit scary. New things feel kind of different, and that feels like fear at times. I know, just keep holding on to your beliefs and your goals. So no matter what you what to change, it's possible, just have it in your mind that this what you want to do!
Be the Change
I love this quote by Gandhi, "You must be the Change you wish to see in the World" … so very true. We just can't sit around saying that we wish for a change, we've got to give it a try. Saying something is easy the actual doing isn't always so easy. One step at a time.
So no matter what you want to change, just keep your eye on the goal. I wish so much to change so many things. I want to change the way children are treated, there is real child abuse out there 🙁 and it's so sad, it just breaks my heart to see how some people treat their children. Children are precious gifts from God!!!
I have so many wishes, I want to change the way animals are treated, kindness and not hurting. Yes, again I am a dreamer, but I'm not giving up! Small steps …
I could go on and on and I don't want to bore anyone 🙂 What I wish for is a clean, safe world. This planet is ours and we have to take care of it. We all know it, but doing ~ that is what we have to remember. Peace, love and recycle 🙂
I wish you all the best with your wishes and your changes. Anyone want to share what their changes are ?

The sharemarket's rally since March has continued to aid managed funds as investors poured more than $2.7 billion into the sector over the three months to September, the largest inflow since the March quarter last year.
A preliminary report by ASSIRT into market share said the amount of money managed by retail funds increased 4.5 per cent to $256.2 billion in the quarter, though part of this could be attributed to the research house including new funds in its report.
Over the year, ASSIRT said, the value of funds grew by 11 per cent, though it was still down 44 per cent on last year.
AMP Henderson Global Investors' chief economist, Shane Oliver, said the report highlighted a fundamental shift in the thinking of investors.
During the bear market there was a "de-risking" of portfolios, he said, but a recovering global sharemarket and bigger company profits had given investors confidence to move away from defensive asset classes.
Managed funds holding local and international shares were the main beneficiaries, attracting $489.5 million and $851.3 million respectively.
After a bumper ride, listed property funds look like they are losing their lustre with the value of new investments at $149 million, down from $377 million last quarter and $521 million in the March quarter.
Cash was the only asset class that lost ground, shrinking by $135.5 million, hardly a surprise according to Dr Oliver.
"We have seen more than six months of gains out of equity markets and there is a greater feeling of confidence, particularly given this upswing is supported by global growth, and a rising interest environment tends to work against cash and listed property," he said.
Still, while managed funds may take some solace from the report's findings, the report found that growth was patchy. A third of fund managers reported more money had been withdrawn than invested.
UBS did best, attracting $703 million, with strong inflows of money for most of its product range, in particular its Australian share fund.
PM Capital, Sandhurst Trustees, AMP and ABN Amro all jumped on the list of top 10 managers according to inflow.
There is no change in the top 10 managers when measured by the value of funds under management, with the big four banks continuing to dominate.
They accounted for 52 per cent of funds under management. In total, the top 10 held more than 80 per cent of investments.

Aurora crime rates plunge to lowest ever recordedMarch 19, 2014
Reported major crime in Illinois' second largest city reached an all-time low in 2013, according to final crime statistics released last week by the Aurora Police.
Spurred by a property crime reduction of almost 17% including a burglary reduction of just under 39%, the lowest number ever recorded in the City – Aurora's crime rate per 100,000 population plummeted 13.47% over 2012 and 38.77 % in the past 10 years.
"The safety of a community influences everything else: quality of life, housing, economic development, and tourism", said Aurora Mayor Tom Weisner. "I applaud the men and women of the Aurora Police and the entire community for working together to assure a bright future for everyone who calls Aurora home."
"Because of the hard work of all of our officers and support personnel, our partnerships with other law enforcement agencies at all levels, spearheading efforts to stay on top of technology and implementing new city ordinances; less people than ever have been victimized by crime in Aurora", said Chief of Police Greg Thomas. "We will continue these and other initiatives in the future as the Aurora Police continue to do their part to keeping everyone safe."
Major crimes, known more commonly as "Part One Index Crimes", include the violent crime categories of murder, criminal sexual assault, robbery, and aggravated assault/battery; and the property crime categories of burglary, theft, motor vehicle theft, and arson. Major decreases were recorded across all property crime categories (Burglaries -38.98%; Theft -8.26%; Motor Vehicle Theft -11.90%; Arson -31.03%) as well as the violent crimes of criminal sexual assault (-15.38%) and robbery (-5.60%).
Aurora's total crime rate per 100,000 population in 2013 was 1799.1 compared to 2079.2 in 2012. Total major crimes reported in the City were 3,597 last year compared to 4,157 the previous year.
"Five hundred and 60 less people were crime victims last year", said Chief Thomas. "While we are pleased with these results, we are committed to constantly improving them."
Long-term crime trends as measured by the City's crime rate per 100,000 population continued to tumble in all of the major crime categories. Violent crime is down 26.74% over 5 years, 40.01% over 10 years, and 64.41% over 20 years. Over the same periods, property crime is down 36.05%, 52.92%, and 72.57%. Overall crime is down in Aurora by 34.66% since 2008; 51.17% since 2003; and 71.48% since 1993.
The crime statistics are known as Uniform Crime Report numbers (UCRs) and are submitted to the FBI, Illinois State Police, and other agencies for official crime reporting purposes.
Other statistics released by Aurora Police last week included:
* 10,654 total arrests in 2013 compared to 11,334 in 2012. The drop in arrests is attributable to many factors, said Chief Thomas, including the drop in crime equating to less arrests and new initiatives such as the Crisis Intervention Team. The C.I.T. is a group of specially-trained officers who deal with calls for service involving psychologically-challenged subjects. Their goal is to find proper treatment for these individuals rather than arresting them.
* 1299 drug-related arrests, eight fewer than in 2012. While the overwhelming majority of the arrests were cannabis-related, 39 of the offenses involved heroin— a 22% increase over 2012 and an 86% increase compared to five years ago.
* Domestic Violence-related assaults and batteries continued a downward trend last year. They were down 5% when comparing 2013 to 2012 and are down 23.7% since 2007. Aurora Police have three full-time detectives dedicated to the investigation of domestic violence crimes.
* Aggravated assaults and batteries increased 13.94% last year, and will be one area that will be targeted by Aurora Police this year.
* The 601 total violent crimes committed in 2013 were 38 more than in 2012, an increase of 6.75%.
* After a murder free year in 2012, three murders were reported in 2013. Two of the three murders were attributed to domestic violence and the other appears to be narcotics-related.
* Firearm discharges were up to 74 last year compared to 59 in 2012. Seventy-six percent of the shootings did not result in injuries and one of the three murders last year involved a firearm. Aurora Police have set a goal to reduce shootings by 10% this year.
* Traffic Crashes increased 15.1% in 2013 to 5487. Much of the increase was due to the early onset of winter weather. Traffic enforcement numbers were also up with increases in the number of stops, citations, and warning tickets issued by officers. The number of crashes had decreased 18% when comparing the five-year trends of 2009 to 2013 vs. 2004 to 2008.
* Calls for service increased to 155,876 last year compared to 155,526 in 2012.

All You Need to Know About Offshore Employment. I have worked in the offshore oil industry for more than 30 years and I am going to try and give you some non BS, no sugar coating advice on working in the industry. Right now its very hard and almost impossible for a newcomer to get a start offshore.
If you already work in the offshore-oil-industry or you are trying get yourself a new job offshore this site will try and give you simple, practical and unbiased advice. You will not like the advice unfortunately.
You need to clearly understand that it is not as easy and simple as some oil-rig-employment websites would have you believe. You simply can not walk onto an offshore installation into a new job without some basics in place.
Offshore installations are potentially dangerous places, and safety and safe working practices is what we all live and breathe. These days the reality does not match the movies.
For many positions it most definitely is not a training ground for someone who doesn't have Basic Requirements for safety or professional standards of training to start with.
In general people with a relevant trade in mechanical or electrical or electronics discipline have the best chance at getting a technical job start, however experienced hands is what most companies chase, and that's perfectly reasonable.
The offshore world isn't a charity industry, companies spend big bucks and if you want big bucks you got to help the company make them.
It is up to you to present yourself in the best way possible to prospective employers and give companies a reason to start you off. The oil field is not for sissies!
And Oil Rig People are a breed apart. The actual attrition rate of new starts in drilling is around 75%, that is to say 75% of people quit as its not as glamorous as its made out to be.
You need to show people that you have a positive and proactive can-do attitude. If you are someone who likes everything on a plate and your rear end wiped for you, best stay home with your mom or the wife. Follow these hints for preparing a professional Rig Jobs when you look for your job.
There are many people out there who just want to baffle you with offshore employment requirements, or worse still try and get money out of you for nothing without ever delivering a job opportunity.
In fact you don't need to pay anyone to help get information on offshore vacancies and offshore employment opportunities. If you are wanting to start International Oil Rig Employment then this is whole different ball game and many who have had worked in North Sea and GOM find that international and overseas a little different. This company also has extensive offshore opportunities Technip Offshore.
Do not hand over a single cent to any company who says for a fee that they will find you work. That is a lie and you will soon find out that when you pay and never hear from them again.
Keep an eye on the latest Offshore Jobs here. If you need Oil Rig Recruitment Hints then this will help you.
If you work offshore then you are probably getting to know about how to find a new job, although there is a large difference between working in your home oil patch, such as North Sea or Gulf of Mexico and working internationally. If you are seeking offshore employment for the first time then there is a lot to know. For many this will be a very large reality check and will not be as easy as rumours or people often suggest.
Click here if you are looking for a UK offshore employment based position in the North Sea then look here for UK Agency Information. Click here if you are looking for a US based position in the Gulf of Mexico or elsewhere then look here for US Agency Information
If you are looking for a foreign job then click here for International Agency Information. The following are additional Offshore Recruitment Companies that may offer suitable offshore employment job opportunities.
So many people enquire on how how to get a employment on an offshore oil rig on this website. In scores of cases they are fresh entry level applicants with very few relevant skills or anything else to offer. You have to realize that these are high technology environments so entry grade jobs are limited with a enormous number of people applying for them.
Many think that the road to offshore oil rig jobs is all gold, but it isn't. Many who do take home high salaries have spent many years in the industry supported by education and training.
There are opportunities to get into the offshore oil industry and that includes the drilling industry nevertheless you have to to plan for this.
Once you are able to get into the offshore oil industry there is a extensive career path as you serve an apprenticeship of learning the many things that make up what is now a very high tech industry.
In the drilling industry you can begin as a roustabout and in the long run end up as a rig manager, drilling superintendent or an oil company representative if you are smart enough.
What is an offshore oil rig? In lots of cases people on this site do not know what they are. The tag oil rig covers a expansive range of vessel types and rigs.
They term offshore oil rig is also generally applied to oil drilling rigs, oil production installations such as platforms and Floating Production and Storage Offload (FPSO) vessels, and the oil industry can also comprise many service vessels such as crane barges, accommodation rigs, diving support vessels, geological survey vessels, platform supply vessels (PSV) or as they are also called Offshore Supply Vessels (OSV's) and there are Anchor Handling Tug (AHT), as well Safety Standby vessels and more.
There are offshore employment opportunities for all these vessel types with the proper qualification and experience. Entry level positions are frequently within catering positions, or basic labouring positions.
One area of opportunity overlooked by a lot of job seeking people is the many positions available with third party companies who render specialist services to rigs.
For platforms they might be maintenance personnel, for drilling rigs they range from mud logging and cementing contractors to down hole logging and ROV (Remote Operated Vehicle) contractors. All provide opportunities to go offshore, get experience and of course open up chances somewhere else. Many positions come about as you are in the right place and the right instant and get information about positions that may never get advertised. Once you are offshore it is all about networking and getting industry inside information about offshore employment job openings.
There are countless rig workers out there who just desire to perplex you with a spot of crap and jargon and also to try and get you to give up some hard earned cash to supposedly get you a job. Stay tuned to this website for simple, no BS hard-nosed pointers about verything from oil rig roughnecks to rig managers. in no way give cash to any department to get you a job, as these are simply offshore employment scams.
If you want offshore employment then it's best to understand the basics to avoid looking like a fool. Here is some Oil Rig Basics with basic information on the various offshore oil installation types that come under the umbrella and generic term of oil rigs.
The message submission section on this page is really easy to do, but some sound advice to help you. I know that there are recruiters sometimes going through these submissions looking for potential candidates. If you need to impress people and grab their interest, then take some attention with your entry and make the endeavour pay off. If you put a sketchy title and a one line shoddily spelt or written statement on how to start, what positions open etc it simply will not get posted
On your Title clearly state the position you are seeking. Don't add a number of different ones as no one will look at this.
In the body of your message state clearly what skills you have that may be of use if you are new entrant for offshore employment. If you have any educational qualifications, list them including with a basic summary of significant work experience. Going on about how hard a worker you are and how honest means nothing. If you have already invested in all the many required offshore safety certificates, then start with this. Above all do a spell check of the submission, substandard spelling and pitiful grammar turns off potential employers. They say you only get one chance to make a first ipression. It is very true!
An example for you
Roustabout Position Wanted
I have all the required offshore safety certificates, medical certificates and passport and I am ready to go to work. I do not have any former offshore experience but I am adept with tools and machinery having worked on building sites driving bulldozers and diggers or driving cranes, forklifts, rigging, scaffolding and any other useful machinery maintenance experience (make clear this) and have good safety ethic (describe your safety knowledge). State your educational attainments and even sporting achievements and prove that you are a team participant. If you can think of some other experience or qualifications that have some benefit then say what they are. Put a 100 words or more down and sell yourself.
Are you looking for new oil rig employment? are you looking to change jobs? do you need answers to your questions? Dont ask dumb questions as they dont get answers and you dont get offshore jibs by being dumb. Dont ask about wages and salaries as you will not get an answer. If you aks me for a job your post gets deleted because if you cant figure out that this is an information website and not an employer, then you dont deserve a job in the industry.

UVM Hands SBU First League Loss, 3 More Men's Basketball Games Saturday
Related Links
Home court has proven to be ultra important through the first few weeks of men's basketball conference play. That trend held up Friday night as Vermont defended its home floor in a rematch of last season's America East title game by handing Stony Brook its first league loss. Three more teams will try to defend their home court Saturday, while three others try to buck the trend.
On Friday, the Catamounts (12-6, 5-1 AE) shot 50 percent from the floor and score more points than any Stony Brook (13-5, 4-1 AE) opponent this season in an 81-73 win. The game was played in front of a packed out at Patrick Gym and was nationally televised on ESPNU. UVM, which has won 12 straight league games on its home floor, led by 18 points with 10 minutes left before the Seawolves stormed back to trim the deficit to four, but the Cats held on for the win. Clancy Rugg led the way with a career day, tying his career high with 19 points and added a career-best 15 boards for his first career double-double. Candon Rusin was the high scorer, notching a career-best 25 points for the Cats, 17 of which came after halftime. Jameel Warney led Stony Brook, which had its five-game win streak snapped, with 15 points and 10 rebounds.
On Saturday, there are three America East men's hoops contests. Maine (8-10, 2-3 AE) hosts Binghamton (2-16, 0-5 AE) at 2 p.m., New Hampshire (4-12, 0-4 AE) welcomes Boston U. (8-10, 2-3 AE) at 4 p.m. in a game that will be televised on Fox College Sports and WBIN in the Boston/Manchester markets. Tonight, Hartford (10-8, 3-2 AE) tries to stop Albany's (15-4, 4-1 AE) three-game win streak.

Flower Delivery ExpressInternet USA
Flower Delivery Express Wesley Berry Flower Delivery Express Internet Fraud and Flower Scam Walled Lake Internet
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
On May 6, 2014 I went on line to purchase flowers for my Mother who lives in Virgina. I started going through the process of selecting flowers and a 40% discount code came up - ok sounds good so to continue I had to enter my credit card information so I get to the summary screen where I apply the discount code and saw that these people are a scam they charge a $16 handling charge another fee for delivery. So the flowers came out to the exact same price without the discount. So I CANCELLED the order I did not Approve or Continue at this point. I never received an email confirmation. I immediately contacted a local florist and sent my Mother flowers without crazy scam fees. So on May 8th I have the Flower Express Charge show up on my credit card $84.18 - I called and after being treat rudely I was transfer to a Courtney - she sent me my order confirmation while I was on the phone with her. I explained to her that I did not order these flowers that I never accepted and that to remove the order. She said no and couldn't explain to me how their system would charge me when I did not move forward once I saw the $16 handling fee. She was nasty and said that they would charge me a $30 dollar cancellation fee. I said don't you dare because I never ordered these flowers and that I already ordered flowers from a local florist. I said not to cancel but DO NOT SEND these flowers to my Mother it will confuse her. I repeated myself and she said ok. Well they sent the Flowers anyway my Mom received to sets of flowers the flowers delivered from Flower Delivery Experess SCAM had no information on the card - none of my information (because I never processed the order). My Mother even called the Florist they were sent from and they couldn't tell her who the flowers were from. They had plenty of time to cancell those flowers. My Mother said the flowers that came from the local florist were beautiful and that the one's from Flower Delivery Express were awful $84.18 for awful flowers - great. I am going to dispute this through my Credit Card Company hopefully they will remove the charge. Also, I report to Consumer Complaints at US.gov. Do NOT ever enter your credit card information on this site - they processed a charge without my approval - I know I cancelled the order because I would never pay a $16 handling fee as well as Delivery Fee. The local florist charged $5 for delivery that is fair and the flowers were beautiful. Go through local florist.
