I noticed the change in Elsie's personality the moment I stepped into the room. She still retained the graceful bubbliness of before, but she was concealing something behind her bluebell eyes. Even when she smiled, her nervous smile, it was a shaken one; I could see exactly what Carrie had meant about the girl having some traumatized heart.
"Hello," I muttered, smiling. The girl froze, her eyes flicking about the room. I watched her closely, watching the way she gazed at the doors and windows.
"Do you see?" Carrie whispered into my ear.
Leading her away, I nodded.
"She's worrying, can't you see?"
"I can see."
Before our conversation began to turn into that of a pantomime, I turned back to watch the children, to see what it was that they were in the habit of doing.
Whilst Ivor occupied himself with building a toy car out of complicated pieces of small multi-coloured bricks, Elsie studied him in the same way that we studied her. Although her face was unmarked by expression, she could not conceal all her concern for him. Leaning down to his level (as he was splayed out across the carpet), she tenderly placed a hand on one of his, making the boy glance up. The youngest of them whispered for a second in Russian that neither Carrie nor I could understand, and then Elsie drew away to the space between him and the wall, where she could keep an eye on her brother in peace
She had not replied even to him, giving only a curt nod. Finally, after a minute of just standing there watching him, she leant down and pulled him into her warm embrace again, the silence still lying in her eyes.
"They're very adoring of each other," I said, turning away from the window, from which I had been watching the ever-growing crowd of tourist eager to see the house. None of them seemed to care that the day was growing by every second, and the more that came, the longer they would all have to wait. No, none of that ever bothered them.
The whole of the porch area could be seen from my position at the double-spread window, along with, if I gazed sideways, the beginning of the leisure garden, open to tourists, unfortunately, and the private garden. The latter I could tell was greener, less used, and the path to the cellar was illuminated.
"They are," Carrie nodded. "I reckon Elsie would do anything for Ivor. It's the lack of having their parents around that makes her so protective. It's my fault, I guess, for not being as close as I could to her. I've, in a way, made her the enigma that she is."
"What?" I snapped, turning to her. "It'll never be your fault. You're right to say that she has to cope for herself in a society like this."
"I've influenced her though," Caroline muttered.
"She's only a child!"
At that, Elsie looked up, real fear finally painting her placid face.
"It's okay," Carrie said, smiling and nodding patronizingly. At the governess' words, Elsie settled herself down beside her brother again.
"Thank goodness she understands the basics of English," Carrie sighed from her place beside me.
I looked to her, and only one thought remained in my mind.
"How odd," I muttered as a reply, still observing the children, and Ivor's game, out of which Elsie had retreated once again, this time much more formally as she continued with her own work, her nose in a Russian story.
Carrie followed my glance.
"I know. She'd become so unlike her usual self these past days."
"I meant about the cultural divide." My voice, I found, was sharp on the matter.
In lieu of a response, Carrie shrugged and moved back over to the children, where she wiped Ivor's face with a pocket-handkerchief despite his struggling.
I followed her walk, watching gravely.
"I've just got used to the Russian society as it is," Carrie finally replied. She lowered her voice and murmured to Elsie, "what is it, darling? It's okay to tell aunt Caroline."
I raised my eyebrows at how affectionate Carrie was being; surely that was not the general idea with tutors? And yet, my hypocrisy was plain, when I had been all too intimate with my late teacher.
Even though Carrie's sucracity, the young woman was resolute. She shook her dark head.
I pulled Carrie to one side, with the intent to whisper into her ear.
"Come on. Don't worry yourself, Carrie. Leave it all to me."
She nodded, turning away.
"Oh, that reminds me," she cried, "the Karkroffs have invited you to dine with everybody in the case."
That was never going to be good.

Chapter Two: Devil's CornerMature
"Well I'll give you this, Cameron, she's one sexy beast."
There was the sound of a clenched fist on bicep and a small yelp of surprise.
"Seriously Gibson, quit it with the whole one-track mind thing." There was a sigh of exasperation. "I cannot wait until you're mated and you stop being such a horny bastard. 500 years of it is plenty enough now."
The first voice became teasing. "Ooh, Cameron has the hots for the mysterious wolfswan. Is that why you dragged her here from the bayou?"
"She would have died otherwise; there was a demon after her." This was a defensive mutter.
"All the more reason to leave her in the bayou? Don't you think we have enough problems with Avistor threatening to take our licence without you giving Maman a fit over this?"
The she-wolf stirred, the words coming to her through a slowly thinning fog of pain and exhaustion. From their conversation, she guessed that she was being housed in one of the Shifter sanctuaries, presumably near to the bayou. She assumed that the two guys she could hear were some of the pack who ran this place. This meant that she was with wolves, considering that had they been any other kind of Shifter, they would have treated her with a lot more hostility than she was sensing. Plus, there would have been no chance of an attraction between a wolf and another species. Between the cats was one thing, but a wolf only mated with wolves.
Beyond the brothers bantering, she could hear the sounds of a pub or club in full swing. A shout rose above the rest of the noises.
"At Devil's Corner, you come in peace or leave in pieces. Got it?!"
There was the sound of a heavy impact on pavement and a slamming door. Devil's Corner, New Orleans. The infamous Shifter sanctuary since it seemed to attract the most trouble. Most people put it down to the voodoo priesthoods and bayou madness that seemed to attract the hosts of supernaturals that seemed to want to cause havoc.
There was a sigh from one of the brothers. The quieter one muttered to his brother.
"You'd better see that Tyler gets back to the kitchen, before he kills anyone."
There was a muttered retort and the sounds of someone leaving the room.
"It's safe to open your eyes now." The gentle voice sounded amused as he directed his words at her.
The she-wolf opened her eyes cautiously, shifting into the form of a young woman of around 20, slender but muscular with piercing blue eyes and dark red-black hair, the colour of black cherries. At the same time, she manifested a pair of black skinny jeans and matching tank top that showed off her figure.
The man in front of her gave a noise of appreciation. "Well you're certainly a Shifter and not some stray wolf. That's a relief." His brilliant green eyes regarded her with cautious warmth, his handsome face framed by messy dark hair that threatened to spill into his eyes. His mouth, sensuously sculpted, held traces of a devilish smile.
"My name's Cameron." His voice was low and soothing, sending warm shivers through her. "How are you doing?"
"Better, thank you." Her voice was gentle, with traces of a French accent, like an exotic flute to his more bass tones.
"Glad to hear it…?" He left the comment hanging, clearly asking for her name. She mentally flicked through her many identities, knowing that her true name had to be concealed at all costs.
"Melodie." She gave a small smile.
"It suits you." He gave her another warm smile as she allowed him to help her to her feet.
Suddenly, the door opened. Melodie dropped Cameron's hand like it was red-hot. He threw her a strangely wounded look before turning a furious glare on his brother for barging in.
His brother was powerfully built, with similar features to Cameron. His hair fell into his eyes, a dark blonde, coupled with killer baby blue eyes that Melodie felt held more mischief than his smile. Instinctively, she knew that he knew all of the women around here. Intimately.
"What do you want, Gibson?" Cameron growled. He was not as obviously powerful as his brother, but Melodie could see that he was muscular enough that a fight between them would be bloody.
"Maman said that you're needed back in the bar and to bring the wolfswan once she's awake. Which, I can see would be now." Gibson replied, turning to Melodie.
"Gibson, like the guitar." He gave her a grin that made his appreciation for her form clear. "And what would your name be chère?"
"Melodie." Her reply was confident and clearly made her disinterest clear. Yes, he was attractive, but he acted like a male pig.
Cameron growled something unintelligible and turned to Melodie.
"I apologise for my brother. He seems to have only one brain cell and it seemed to have migrated from his head to another part of his anatomy."
Melodie laughed a little. "I'll take pity on him then."
Both Melodie and Cameron laughed at the expression on Gibson's face.
"I think you'll fit right in here, if you decide to stay."
Cameron's words warmed her as she followed them up from the basement room, to the bar. She hoped that she would have the opportunity to stay, she thought, lightly touching her arm where the demon had wounded her. She didn't want to bring a horde of First Class demons on the first people she had felt comfortable with in decades.

The NFL has announced that Ted Cottrell has reduced the two-game suspension imposed earlier this week on Redskins safety Brandon Meriweather to one game.
Meriweather will lose one of 17 game checks. At a base salary of $1.2 million for 2013, that's lost earnings of $70,588.
Brandon Meriweather has a well-earned reputation as a head-hunter in the Washington Redskins' secondary. His unwillingness (or inability) to change his playing style has taken him off the field.
Meriweather was flagged twice for illegal hits in Sunday's 45-41 win over the Bears. After the game, Chicago receiver Brandon Marshall -- the recipient of one of those hits -- railed against Meriweather's playing style, saying the safety should be suspended or kicked out of the game entirely.
"Guys like that really don't understand that there is life after football," Marshall said, via the Chicago Tribune.
NFL fined Meriweather $42,000 last month for a helmet-to-helmet hit.
he doesnt give a shite if he knocks himself out
Meriweather is Chuck Cecil 2.0.
He was only here for a year, but it was his most "headhuntingist" year!
Sure it isn't perfect but what is Meriweather supposed to do? There is a guy on the WR's back pushing the him down.
Perfect hits, just against the rules.
Perfect hits, just against the rules.
in no way, shape, or form, is a hit perfect if the defender lowers his head like that
merriweather actually used the crown of his helmet...TWICE. the 2nd he also launched and was 100% airborn at impact

How was your careers advice at school? Did you follow it? This is years ago now, but I remember the careers master having a highly laminated series of job descriptors which he kept in a portable, cardboard filing cabinet. We had to go up one by one and tell him what we felt like doing in life. He looked at me in his wise, all-knowing manner. "You could be an actuary, for instance," he said, and started reading out the professional qualifications required for actuary-ness. I looked at him, dismally. Most of the time, he was the woodwork master. Later in the hour, I heard him suggesting to the form thug that he might consider becoming a hairdresser.
And later at university, there were careers guidance services. By then, the purple laminated sheets had given way to rudimentary computer programmes. Instead of the woodwork master there were bustling professionals in shoulder-padded suits, striding about purposefully and alluding with airy grace to their "contacts in the City" and "in advertising".
The rudimentary computer programmes would ask you a series of questions. You could entertain yourself by answering these honestly. Did you prefer an outside life or one in a cupboard? Was Tuesday a yellow day, or did it smell like the giraffe enclosure at the zoo? At the end of these probing enquiries, the machine would hum and buzz and spit out an answer. This time, it suggested to me that I might like to consider becoming a Roman Catholic priest, or perhaps a bassoonist – my memory is vague.
Not since the beginning of time has anyone, I guess, taken the advice of the careers service. Amusingly, there is an Institute for Careers Guidance, and its president, Dr Deirdre Hughes, was last week complaining that "we have a generation coming through university now that have not had an experience of high-quality careers education". Only a generation? I'm amazed.
The Government, however, has agreed. It announced last month the setting-up of a "careers profession taskforce" to address the needs of the careers advice profession. At this wonderful initiative one is not so much amazed as limply accepting of the inevitable. No one can doubt that the choice of profession is one of the most important in anyone's life. It ought to be the moment when the engines of social mobility start to run. But the influences bearing on the choice of career are fairly well-established. First, there are jobs within the family: even now, children of doctors become doctors, and children of manual labourers become manual labourers, whatever their innate potential.
Then there are role models within the social circle. I would always have wanted to write, but I knew you could make a living out of it because my parents had a glamorous journalist friend. Then there are representations in the media, still keeping medicine, law, even policing in the eye as exciting professions. And perhaps an interested teacher, too; but rarely, in my experience, the careers service.
I never did find out what an actuary is, but I know how I would engineer social mobility and career choice, relatively cheaply. I would give every 16-year-old a tenner, and tell them to go to Islington, Clapham or Richmond with the instruction to find a well-dressed person in their 40s and buy them a cup of tea. And then to ask them what job they had. No doubt very unfairly, I was never very keen on taking advice from the careers advice professionals for one reason. It was what they themselves had chosen to do for a living.
Public patronage ruined Henry Moore's work
Art has its associations, sometimes acquired in an unorthodox way. Who can look at John Millais's Bubbles without thinking of Pears soap? And going round the no-doubt excellent Tate Britain exhibition of Henry Moore, you find no difficulty in enjoying the earlier rooms. But when it gets to the post-War stuff, it can be extremely hard even to look at the work, or to decide whether it is any good or not. Henry Moore was a great favourite of the welfare-state authorities, who liked to place his sculpture in prominent places in public developments. I looked and looked, and for the life of me I could not stop the associations of the shopping precinct, the library plaza, the housing development rising up. They just seem hopelessly municipal to me.
Why has it happened, above all, to Henry Moore? I don't think of John Lewis on Oxford Street every time I see a Barbara Hepworth, though a rather overblown work of hers still adorns its facade.
But the dead hand of committee approval and public patronage has layered the late Henry Moore with a patina of drabness. His substantial later work doesn't give the impression of having been loved by anyone to pay enough of their own money for it. Probably a lesson lies in wait for all artists now depending largely or exclusively on the patronage of museums.
Wayne Bridge's touch of Victorian values
To the casual observer, the ritual handshaking at the beginning of a football match has a peculiar air. I don't know whether it has always been so, but the moment of contact of hand with hand here is probably the shortest span of time known to science. Its only rival, perhaps, is the interval between a traffic light turning to green in Naples and the car behind you sounding its horn. There is no suggestion of sportsmanly esteem visible, and every suggestion of a ritual conducted with gritted teeth.
Nevertheless, everyone was keen to see what would happen when John Terry faced Wayne Bridge, the gentleman he cuckolded, when Chelsea played Manchester City on Saturday. Terry held out his hand; Bridge walked straight past it.
We as a nation are not great hand-shakers, but we know all about the snub and the cut. The Victorians recognised and catalogued degrees of snubbing, culminating in the "cut direct", when you look someone in the eye and ignore their greeting.
It's nice to know that even in the yobbish world of professional football, deliberate rudeness as a reprimand is achievable. Not necessarily by sleeping with another chap's wife or girlfriend, but clearly by perpetrating the "cut direct". Bridge behaved, unmistakably, like a gentleman. Is a duel now inconceivable?

we decided that today we will be doing some maintenance on our 6th upload server that had been postponed over and over in the past.
This maintenance will take about 10-12 hours. You don't need to worry about your data. As you can see the server is up and running, and no data whatsoever has been lost. But it will not be available during maintenance.
To compensate you for your loss, we decided that during maintenance the rate for zone A will be $5/ 1000 visits. Feel free to check back on this topic for updates.
If you have any requests or recommendations for our service, don't hesitate to contact us.
UPDATE 1/6: Everything's back!

Oct 15, 2007 at 9:12 pm #1225452
Any use Kahtoola KTS Steel Cleats, MicroSpikes, Yaktrax, Yaktrax Pro, or Stabilicers for traction on trails?
Can anyone recommend light safe crampons for non-vertical use, both for flat and for steeper trails, but not for vertical mountain climbing use?Oct 15, 2007 at 11:46 pm #1405624
Eric St. MaryMember
I use Stabilicers during the winter to prevent sliding around work. They are MUCH more robust than Yaktrax and you can replace the cleats on them when they wear out.Oct 16, 2007 at 7:09 am #1405649

@quoddyLocale: New York/Vermont Border
The best traction for non-techical use I've found is, by far, the Kahtoola crampon. I use them whenever any ice is involved on winter treks. The aluminum version is lighter, but for long term or extended use, go for the steel.
From their blurb:
The Kahtoola TRACTION system: Flexible, lightweight crampons for nontechnical mountaineering applications
For sure footing on ice and snow, Kahtoola's footwear fits over your trail running shoes, hiking boots, and snowboarding and ski boots using straps and quick-release buckles. Our Kahtoola TRACTION SYSTEMS are made from the strongest aluminum alloy and chromoly steel for maximum durability and minimum weight.Oct 16, 2007 at 7:38 am #1405653

@jeroenmanLocale: Europe
The Kahtoola Crampons rule. Everybody can use them, they provide excellent traction and they really fit every shoe or boot out there. I use Yaktrax as well but find them insuperior compared to the Kahtoola, they never seem to stay on my boot or shoes the whole time, very annoying and on ice their traction is very marginal.
The Kahtoola are expensive (never managed to find one on sale) and heavier than the Yaktrack but if it is icy and dicy it is the best investment you made.
With the kahtoola my girlfriend feels really confident on icy tracks where without them she would freak out.Oct 16, 2007 at 7:49 am #1405654
My wife grew up as a flatlander down South and is still getting her feel for ice – I grew up running for the bus to school over icy streets and learned to balance on ice in motion. Not that easy with a pack on uneven sloped ground though, even with a light pack.Oct 16, 2007 at 8:38 am #1405660
Depending on the activities and conditions in which you'll be using a traction system, you might want to check out the new Kahtoola MICROspikes. I've yet to try a pair as they are being released this week, but they look like a great product for icy conditions. I'd put them the same product category as yaktrax or stabilicers, as they look like they'll be light and can be crumpled to fit in a pocket. With the quality and innovation of Kahtoola's previous products, I'm looking forward to hitting some icy Shenandoah trails this winter. At around $60, the microspikes are also much more affordable than the full Kahtoola crampons.
As of the time of this post, it's not obvious on Kahtoola's website where to find info on the microspikes, so here's a direct link: http://www.kahtoola.com/documents/KahtoolaMICROspikesLaunch.pdfOct 16, 2007 at 1:24 pm #1405707
Bryon, I'm also looking at the MICROspikes. I've used both versions of Yaktrax as well as the Stabilicers and am not really satisfied. The Yaktrax and Yaktrax Pro are not nearly durable enough for my taste and the Stabilicers, while durable and effective, are just too heavy. If you decide to get them, please keep us posted as to how they work for you.Oct 16, 2007 at 1:49 pm #1405712
My MICROspikes should already be on the way… now I just have to wait for the ice. I'll be sure to give some feedback when I receive them (I'll surely slip them on and run around the backyard) as well as after I try them in bad conditions.
I've never used Yaktrax, but my trail running friends have encountered too much slippage for me to try them.
As for weight, the MICROspikes weigh less than 12 oz a pair. From what I gather full Stabilicers come in at 25+ oz while the Stabilicer Sport come in at about the weight of the MICROspikes. For comparison, the Kahtoola KTS Aluminum crampons weigh 18 oz or so.Oct 16, 2007 at 2:35 pm #1405716

I forgot to mention that I also owned Stabilicer Sports. They held the ice well and had decent durability. Weight for size medium was about 12 oz. a pair. The Achilles' heel is that they tended to pull off my feet, especially in off-camber hiking. Hopefully, the MICROspikes will do better.
I'm looking forward to hearing your comments.Oct 18, 2007 at 7:33 pm #1405979

@brianleLocale: Pacific NW
ULA Axis 8-point crampons are lighter, mine weigh 8.2 oz (for the pair) with the straps trimmed to the minimum I need to wear them over my trail runners. The catch is, at least in my experience, you don't want to walk even a single step off of snow that's deep enough for them — very limited walking on a dry (no snow) dirt + gravel section broke a couple of teeth off mine pretty quickly.
But if you can live with that caveat, I was happily surprised at how good the traction is, not just limited to ice, but other snow conditions too.Oct 19, 2007 at 5:37 am #1405997

I used Yak Trax all last winter hiking on some rather steep and icy switchbacks on a trail in Northern Idaho. I have had no problems with them coming off (I use an XL for a size 11 boot), and find them adequate with limited slippage. Their durability (probably one season at 2-3 times per week, 4+ miles each time) leaves a lot to be desired although I am using them beyond their recommended use. I've tried a number of other strap-on models with spikes but find the spikes do not cover the tip or outside of the heel which is exactly where you need them when you are descending slopes. The result is falling on the downhills. I intend to look at Stabilizers and Kathoola as the durability of Yak Trax is poor for the conditions I use them in. I will not, however, use anything that does not have traction at the tip of the heel where the heel strikes on downhills, and that is exactly what attracted me to Yak Trax. I would appreciate any comments from users of the Kahtoola and Stabizers as to their experience descending icy trails.
After using my Yaktrax this winter under quite different conditions than last year, I can no longer recommend them. When there is just a light covering of snow over ice, they will fail you on downhill descents and are risky even on flat terrain as the devices get clogged with snow and will not keep you from falling (believe me, I now know from painful experience). They seem to do a better job on uphill sections as your weight is more evenly distributed over your foot. I will not depend on them anymore and now have a pair of Kahtoola Microspikes to try out.Oct 19, 2007 at 5:01 pm #1406066

I haven't had the chance to try this yet, but I like the sheet metal screw idea, with some variations on this site: http://www.vermontphoto.com/wildwhites/screwbootgallery/index.htm.
I had a pair of light-duty Yaktrax (no strap across instep) and wore the rubber out from pronation after fewer than 10 walks with them. That rendered them unusable.Oct 19, 2007 at 5:58 pm #1406069

I've successfully used Yaktrax for winter descents into the Grand Canyon. There are short sections of switchbacks in the shade where the trail is frozen packed snow. Then you round another switchback and hit a dry or muddy rocky section. Instep crampons are an annoyance on the rocky sections. The yaktrax provide enough security on the frozen patches, but don't interfer on the non-frozen sections. After a mile you don't need them, and their 3 ounce dead weight carries well for a week until climbing back out of the canyon where maybe the exit trail isn't frozen. They have served me well in this capacity for 2 trips and look like they could survive another half dozen such trips. They certainly don't have anywhere near the grip that real ice cleats or crampons have. I have never had them come off. Your mileage may vary.Oct 25, 2007 at 12:17 pm #1406630
As there's not a lot of info out yet on the MICROspikes, I thought I'd share my first impression even if there distinct lack of ice and/or snow in Arlington, VA at the moment.

I just looked at the Kahtoola website link for the Micro Spikes. Where I live (Northern Idaho), nothing is flat, either you go uphill or downhill, and that includes going to get the newspaper or mail. It tends to be icy much of the winter. The worst danger in falling is on downhill sections. Even slight declines, barely noticable during the summer, are a significant threat to slipping and falling on your backside in winter. My experience with traction devices is that most are designed to provide traction at mid-heel rather than the outside or extreme back of the heel. I have fallen too many times with these designs and looking at the Micro Spikes, I can see that they are no improvement. If you think you can compensate for this design flaw on the declines by placing your heel at the mid-point, just try it! If you can do this comfortably and efficiently then the Microspikes might work for you. As for me, I will not spend my money on them and instead continue to use my YakTrax on which I have yet to fall. I'll also take a look at the Stableicers as I am searching for a design that offers durability over YakTrax as well as being made for hiking on a combination of ice and rock.
See my updated comments above regarding the YakTrax. I won't use them on downhill hiking anymore (too many falls already this year).Oct 26, 2007 at 8:09 pm #1406796

I used a pair of stabilicers all last winter with a 7-12 mile hike each weekend in the local hills. It was an icy winter with little snow (I live right on the coast). The mountains are granite. My hiking buddy and I would put them on at the beginning of a hike and leave them on the whole time, whether we were going over rock, dirt, snow, or ice. Traction was terrific. They look like new and are ready for this winter. I don't know what kind of metal the hex screw grippers are made of, but they are still sharp. I wouldn't mind if they were lighter, but I can't imagine replacing them with anything else.Oct 27, 2007 at 5:21 am #1406817

My wife uses stabilicers for trail runs on horse and single track (gravel and dirt). They gripped extremely well and have held up fine. On occation they would slip off, but that was easily solved with a shoelace across the front. Can save you from a injury.Nov 27, 2007 at 9:07 pm #1410411

Just back from Camel's Hump, VT (on LT), 8-10" snow 20 degrees crisp snow, no wind, little ice, great day to hike.
postholed the whole way to the top.
First experience with Yaktrax -tried them cuz they're cheap. And they are. Kept moving around on my Aselo leather boot, size 8.5 with small size Yak; After less than 3 miles one of the rubber underside straps broke rendering the fron half of that Yak useless. Probably tore climbing up some of the small ledges where snow cover was minimal (but thats what I wanted them for!)
Not impressed. Not advertised for aggressive pitch hiking, but either I got a bad pair or they're pretty wussy. I returned them for my $ and wont trust them again. What do you want for $30!
But I'm really curious about the Microspikes. sounds like what I'm looking for, sorta a real crampon, though I am cautioned by the post about not having much under the back of the heel where I might need it when descending. I'd risk $60 and give it a whirl.Nov 28, 2007 at 5:06 am #1410434

I bought a pair of microspikes and found that they worked really well. For half the weight of the stablicers, they provide more traction. My comments and those of several others who have bought them are here in this thread:
I had similar concerns as James about downhill traction and the lack of a spike on the outer part of the heel before I bought them. My experience though was that they had excellent traction on the descent, and I had no slipping at all. Both the midheel spikes and the chains on the back may help.Nov 28, 2007 at 9:31 am #1410472

Now the people who are using Yaktrax, are you using the regular version or the Pro?Nov 28, 2007 at 2:53 pm #1410520
>>Now the people who are using Yaktrax, are you using the regular version or the Pro?
I'm broken one pair of the regular and several of the Pro. Lately, I've gone back to using my very old pair of Stabilicers. They are very durable. Just replace the screws as needed. Having said that, they are way too heavy for what they do. The 12.5 oz. MICROspikes are looking better and better.

|Opinion: Celtics have to find out what they have with Jeff Green
|11.15.12 at 11:20 pm ET
A technical foul was the perfect punctuation to Jeff Green's dunk on Al Jefferson Wednesday night ' not because Green deserved the penalty, but because the stoppage in play provided the opportunity for Celtics fans to digest what they had just seen.
Up to that point this season, Green had been a bust. His contract seemed like an albatross of Carl Crawford proportions. With his four-year, $32 million deal, Green is the fourth-highest-paid player on the team, behind only Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett and Rajon Rondo. The problem is Green is playing like the seventh- or eighth-best player on the team, depending on where you rank Jason Terry, Brandon Bass, Jared Sullinger and Courtney Lee.
Thursday night failed to offer any additional clarity to Green's situation, with the forward scoring five points in 25 minutes during the Celtics' 102-97 loss to the Nets in Brooklyn. It was a performance that made Wednesday's heroics seem like an aberration.
Even after Green's 16-point contribution in the win over Utah, he ranked sixth on the team in scoring (8.8 points per game) and seventh in minutes (21.6 per game). At best, he's marginally overpaid when you consider Bass and Terry will earn $6.5 million and $5 million this year, respectively. At worst, he's Danny Ainge's recurring mistake, first as the centerpiece of the trade that cost the Celtics Kendrick Perkins, and then as a $32 million version of Rashard Lewis.
The dunk of the season so far gave us a chance to see what Ainge saw in Green all along. The 6-foot-9 forward can flush on Al Jefferson in traffic. He can score 16 points in the flow of the game without having a single play run for him. And evidently, his teammates love him.
After Green threw it down on Jefferson, the ensuing scene seemed reminiscent of an And1 Mixtape Tour. Green didn't deserve a technical; he almost seemed to be staring down Al Jefferson to make sure he did, in fact, dunk on an All-Star center. But perhaps Green's teammates deserved the technical. Garnett followed Green around the court, cursing in his ear and pushing him in the chest. Other teammates took turns pushing Green, who typically shies away from that kind of contact.
The celebration seemed to stem from the fact that the Celtics need THAT Jeff Green. Garnett's been saying it, and he's right. Green needs to be meaner, more aggressive. He needs to dish out more NBA fouls, and he needs to get down low in the paint when Garnett is on the bench.
|Paul Pierce explains why Celtics 'really disturbing' transition D is his biggest worry
|11.10.12 at 9:54 am ET
Paul Pierce has seen a lot since his entrance into the NBA in 1998. For that reason, the Celtics captain says he's ready to be very patient with this team, even after the C's lost their third game in five tries to open the season Friday night at TD Garden. Pierce scored a team-high 24 points but it wasn't enough as the Sixers pulled out a 106-100 win that dropped Boston to 2-3 on the season with road games Saturday in Milwaukee and Monday in Chicago.
"I'm very patient," Pierce said. "I understand that it's a process. We're only five games in. We're still building. Even though we lost today, we're down, there are some positive things that can come from that. And so, it's still a long season. We have to get some things together. Maybe a road trip like this one, against two pretty good teams can solve it. We'll see.
"I've been a patient person for the most part. The thing is you just have to talk it out. Young teams get frustrated with one another; they start pointing fingers. You can't do that. That's a losing team, that's losing genetics. We don't have that in here. We are a team that is just going to try and solve it by talking to one another, trying to figure out what we need to do to get better and build from there."
Pierce says all the talk about the bench is overrated since it's the first unit that need to play better in transition on both ends.
"It's just that we have to put the time in at practice figuring out the second unit but that's going to come," Pierce said. "Our identity is going to be a defensive team first. We have the talent offensively where we think it will come together. We have to do a better job sharing the ball, making the extra passes but the main concern is the transition defense and rebounding the ball."
The Celtics were beaten badly again in transition Friday night. Two stats prove his point. They were outscored 26-9 on fast break point – a stat Doc Rivers said was actually much worse than the number – and Philly beat up Boston in the paint 56-38, many coming on layups in transition.
"When I look at this game if I had to point out one thing that's a major concern for us, and has been for these last five games, it's probably our transition defense," Pierce said. "That's the No. 1 thing right now. When you look up and we're playing well half-court wise, and then you give teams that many layups in transition, it's really disturbing so that's one thing we have to look at the film, address that. If we can do a better a job of getting back on defense, limit those easy opportunities, then we give ourselves a better chance.
"Getting back, talking, matching up with the nearest guy, loading up to the ball, helping one another. Just basically when the [shot] goes up, you either go get the rebound or get back. It's one of the two things. For the most part, it has to come from the guys on the perimeter, we have to do a better job of getting back from the 1, 2 and the 3-positions, the point guard, the 2-guard and myself. Our big men are crashing for offensive rebounds. If they're not, they have to get back also."
|Brandon Bass says he's just going to play 'with a whole lot of energy'
|11.08.12 at 9:40 am ET
Doc Rivers made a point of telling his team Wednesday night that he didn't care how well they played but rather how hard they played.
His point was that if you play with great energy, good results will follow even when the execution isn't always there.
Brandon Bass got that message, even if it took overtime to do it.
Bass scored five straight points in overtime, reading his teammates and running down the floor, as the Celtics overcame the Wizards, 100-94, in overtime. He finished with 11 points and seven rebounds in 33 minutes off the bench as the Celtics reserves, including Chris Wilcox, finally found a way to help in a win.
"That's part of me improving as a player," Bass said. "That's what I want to do for this team this year, help any way l can."
After hitting one of two free throws with 2:21 left in overtime, Bass took a pass from Rondo after a Wizards turnover and went to the basket for a layup, putting Boston up, 95-92.
Then, after a missed shot by the Wizards on a chance to tie, Rajon Rondo hauled in the rebound and rewarded Bass who was sprinting up the court all by himself.
"Me and Rondo had switched on that play and he got the rebound so I sprinted out and finished," Bass said.
Paul Pierce said what he liked about Bass' play so much Wednesday was the fact he didn't think but rather played instinctively. Bass agreed.
"That was huge," Bass said. "That's how I'm going to be at my best, when I'm out there just reacting, just defending and playing with a whole lot of energy. That's what I tried to do.
"Be mentally tougher. On a team like this, watching the guys and how they deal with adversity, it can only help me and that's what it did."
|Fast Break: Celtics survive another Wizards scare
|11.07.12 at 10:21 pm ET
Thanks to double-doubles from the Big Three, the Celtics survived a second straight game against a Wizards team missing two of its best players. It wasn't pretty — and required OT — but the Cs' evened their record at 2-2.
Rondo's 18 points and 14 assists in the 100-94 victory moved him alone into third place in NBA history with 28 consecutive games with 10-plus assists (behind John Stockton's 29, Stockton's 37 and Magic Johnson's 44).
Garnett (20 points, 13 rebounds) committed what could've been a costly technical foul when he jerked his elbow in Kevin Seraphin's direction late in the fourth quarter, but two Paul Pierce (15 points, 10 rebounds) steals and a Rondo 20-footer with 26 seconds left helped force overtime as Rondo's 3-pionter at the end of regulation fell short. The C's defense arrived just in time to salvage the game in OT.
First things first: The Celtics repeatedly assure the offense will come once they can get back to playing the kind of defense that's been the trademark of their success the past five seasons. Wednesday night's first quarter was a start. Led by Garnett and Lee, the Celtics held the Wizards to 29.2 percent shooting (7-24 FG) in the first 12 minutes, building a 21-16 lead that should have been bigger if not for five C's turnovers.
Garnett gold: Since nobody else put forth any effort in the opening 24 minutes, Garnett exerted twice as much. By halftime, he had 10 rebounds, seven points and two blocks. His final first-half defensive stand was remarkable, singlehandedly guarding the right side of the court and eventually blocking a Trevor Booker layup attempt with two seconds left on the shot clock. Without KG on the floor, the C's finished minus-13 before the break.
Forward progress: Finally given an opportunity to contribute midway through the third quarter, Chris Wilcox ran the floor with Rondo, made his only field goal and got to the line five times for six points to go along with two boards and a block. In just four minutes of action, he finished a plus-11 — while Garnett sat on the bench.
Very Terry: After admitting it was an adjustment to mesh with a new system, Jason Terry finally asserted himself into the offense. He took 15 shots, made seven of them and scored 16 points off the bench. Somehow, the C's reserves still got outscored, 53-41.
|Box and 2: Inside Celtics, Bucks and Wizards, oh my
|11.05.12 at 2:39 pm ET
Friday: Bucks 99, Celtics 88; Saturday: Celtics 89, Wizards 86: Observations about the box scores from Games 2 & 3 of the C's (1-2) 2012-13 NBA season.
— Called upon by Doc Rivers Friday night to protect the paint against the Bucks, when smaller lineups weren't working, Darko Milicic played 4:30 of the first quarter. He missed his only shot — an air-balled baby left hook — and committed more turnovers (2) than he totaled rebounds (1) or blocks (0). Then, he didn't play Saturday.
Kevin Garnett: "We're still playing with the chemistry. We have different lineups in which Doc is playing with simultaneously, and we're still working. No one said this was going to be an easy process."
Translation: "The Darko Experiment is called that for a reason. Let's just hope it doesn't blow up in our face."
— Over the weekend, Brandon Bass finished a minus-11 in 40:52 without Jared Sullinger on the floor. The Celtics outscored the opponent in just two of his 10 stints sans Sullinger — by one in the final 3:53 of the first quarter against the Wizards and by two Terry free throws in the final 1:35 of that game. Without Bass on the floor, Sullinger finished a plus-14 in 33:29, and the C's outscored opponents in five of those eight stints. (In case you were wondering, the two played 14:40 together, finished a minus-9 and only outscored opponents once in six stints.)
Rivers (via the Herald): '[Sullinger] brings a different component, more importantly rebounding. He knows how to play without the ball. He's a great passer. He blends well with our starting group.'
Translation: "Sorry Brandon, but you're going to see a lot more Sullinger in the starting lineup."
|Paul Pierce: 'Our goal is to keep our home court clean'
|11.02.12 at 11:29 am ET
WALTHAM — In the labor-shortened 2011-12 NBA season, the Celtics were 24-9 at home on the parquet. They were 8-2 at the Garden in the playoffs.
But the sour taste from the last game they played before the home crowd remains. With a chance to eliminate the Heat on their home court, they came up flat, losing, 98-79, to LeBron James and company.
Everyone in attendance remembers the fans at the end of the game chanting "Let's Go Celtics" and the players haven't forgotten either, as they take the same court for the first time in a meaningful game since then tonight when they host the Bucks in the home opener.
"We're excited," Paul Pierce said. "We're excited to be at home, especially after taking a loss in the first game so hopefully, we can come back home and establish ourselves. That's going to be the emphasis this year – establish ourselves at home. No team should be able to come in here and get any wins. Our goal is to keep our home court clean so it can be an intimidating factor when they come to the Garden."
"We had a tough year last year," Rajon Rondo said. "Other than that, I think years in the past the Garden has been a tough place to play in."
The team that will be trying to spoil the Celtics home opening party tonight is the Milwaukee Bucks, led by the dynamic duo backcourt of Brandon Jennings and Monta Ellis. The Bucks will be playing their regular season opener tonight.
"I know they've got two explosive guards in the backcourt and I think a lot of things start with them," Pierce said. "I'm very familiar with Ilyasova [Ersan Ilyasova] and that's pretty much that core. They have good role players in Dunleavy [Mike Dunleavy] and more than capable guys like Drew Gooden so they pose a threat for us. They gave us trouble last year from what I remember so they have a good, talented team. This is their first game so they'll be hungry to get out to a good start."
"They're a scrappy team," Rondo added. "They play with a lot of intensity on defense. Jennings and Monta is their backcourt. That's their firepower. Courtney [Courtney Lee] and I will have our hands full but it will be a team effort to win the game."
|Paul Pierce: Celtics 'defense has got to come a lot faster'
|at 10:08 am ET
WALTHAM — Paul Pierce, as captain of the Celtics, has a way of sending a clear message to his team.
That was evident during the TNT telecast of Tuesday night's season-opening loss in Miami.
He was wearing a microphone and barking out calls on the floor and words of encouragement to Rajon Rondo when things weren't always going well.
On Thursday, before the Celtics home opener tonight against the Bucks, he was barking out something else.
"The defense has got to come a lot faster, and that's something that's come a lot faster in the past than the offense," Pierce said of Boston's 120 points allowed in a 120-107 loss to the Heat. "I'm pretty surprised we scored 107 points, to tell you the truth. Usually, the defense, we pick it up pretty fast. We understand our schemes, our rotations. But I just think we have to understand the type of atmosphere it was going to be. Some of the guys have never been in that atmosphere before, first game, playing against the defending champs on the road. We have to pick up our intensity, understand the moment, understand where we're at and understand the type of game it's going to be and raise our game."
Doc Rivers thought his coaching staff had too much time to prepare and filled their players' minds with too much information.
"I think our on-ball defense was average because our help defense was worse," Rivers said. "If everybody is up guarding their own man and there's no help and guys see gaps [in the defense], they're taking it. What really upset us, every key guy got every shot he wanted, where they wanted the whole, and that's a bad defensive night.
"It was team wide. It was spread. Like I told them, from the coaching standpoint, I thought we had way too much time to prepare for it and we put way too much stuff in their head. I thought they were thinking more than playing on instinct. I told our coaches we share in that. We had them doing a couple of different things and that's not who we are defensively."

Deprived of sleep
Recently I haven't had much sleep. For example, getting to sleep at 1.30 at the earliest, waking up at 6.2o. It's horrible.
I'm going to attempt to enter that land that we crave,
and yet fight against so hard,
that lets our imagination run wild,
and yet stifles our responsibility and sensibility.
I shall approach this land
and value its blooms and pleasures,
and yet fear its gnarled claws and gasping nightmares.

Lina and I attended a wine tasting sponsored by Libbey Foodservice on Sunday at the BC Foodservice Expo.
The host was David Negrete who works for Libbey Foodservice in San Diego, California. Dave has extensive experience as a Sommelier, and was certified in 1995 by the Court of Master Sommeliers. He has worked in some very prestigious restaurants, including Aqua and Farallon in San Francisco, he has trained with reputable chefs such as Michael Mina and Mark Franz.
The purpose of the wine tasting was to show that it is important to have the proper wine glass for the wine. Each wine maker has a different intention on what they are hoping you would taste in their wine (more fruit , more acidity, more oakiness).
As you can see from the photos above, we tasted 4 different BC wines. David commented that he was shocked how much in taxes we pay up in Canada for wine.
- The first wine was a 2008 Jackson Triggs Sauvignon Blanc.
David mentioned that we all have different imprints from our background. He is part Latin American and tastes differently from us.
What he made us do is drink from the first glass and then we poured the remained in the spitting glass and drank from that (different shape and size). We were better able to taste the grapefruit in the wine.
The audience along with Lina and I were shocked at the difference in taste with the subtle change of drinking from another glass.
- The second wine was a 2008 Jackson Triggs Reserve Chardonnay. We drank this out of a V-shaped glass.
To the consumer it has a more perceived value – looks greater than a 2 oz pour. We drank out of this glass and then tried drinking this wine in the first glass and I didn't taste much of a difference.
- The third wine we tasted was a 2008 Cedar Hills Estate Pinot Noir.This is the thinnest and most delicate of the grape varieties. It has less tannins, therefore less colour. There were hints of cherry and blackberries.
We switched glasses into the fourth glass and you could really taste the acidity right away. If the winemaker wanted to show the fruit more, you would taste in a different glass.
The fourth wine was a Mission Hill 2008 Reserve French Oak Cabernet Sauvignon. The glass had a micro bead around the edge for servers that are hard on glasses.
We switched glasses into the fourth glass and you could really taste the acidity right away.
We really enjoyed attending this wine tasting and we recommend people that have an interest in wine or enjoy wine to attend one. We learned plenty and I saw firsthand what a difference the wine glass makes on the taste. This would be a great group activity or team-building exercise for a company. I enjoyed the first two wines more and the Cabernet Sauvignon was my favorite wine to drink. Very fun!
I was really impressed in the quality of their glasses. The glasses made a crystal like ping when we cheered but they were not crystal!

Apple's Cabbage Patch Phone Due June 29th
Apple has announced that the iPhone will go on sale on June 29th. The phone has a large touchscreen, will play video, play music, and display and store photos. Apple is hoping for --and can expect-- a sort of frenzy usually reserved for hard -to-find toys at Christmastime for the units, which come with either 4 or 8 gigabytes of flash memory and will cost $500 or $600 respectively.
Worldwide cellphone sales are running at about 1 billion units a year, and Jobs noted that if Apple took a 1 percent market share in 2008, that would mean the company would sell 10 million iPhones.
The debut of the iPhone poses a challenge to other handset makers such as Motorola Inc. and Nokia, who are also selling highly profitable high-end "smart phones."
AT&T, the biggest U.S. phone company, is also hoping the iPhone's draw will give it an edge over rivals such as Verizon Communications Inc., and Sprint Nextel Corp.
It appears the usual ratios apply to this Apple offering: 99% of the world's media talk about it all day long, while 99% of the buying public ignore it, and Apple makes a huge profit on a high margin item. It highlights what an accomplishment the iPod was for Apple. It's really hard to become the industry standard at anything.

They've been trying to repair a broken water main so that water service could be restored to the downtown area.
The water district got a call around 2am that the line had burst somewhere on Main Street. By the time crews found the break, water levels in the standpipes were already critically low.
It is now a matter of repairing the damage, and hoping that other pipes can stay intact, until warmer weather gets here.
Workers hoped they could have the water main repaired by midnight.

Xiaomi has reiterated what feels like a half dozen times that the United States is in its long-term view, so that shouldn't come as much surprise to those who have payed close attention to the words of VP of International Hugo Barra, and more recently, reports from The Wall Street Journal. But interestingly, we now have tangible evidence that the company might be doing just a bit more than just "thinking" about coming to the US. If new documents (via Lilliputing) are to be believed, the company is already seeking FCC approval to bring one of its phones, the Xiaomi Redmi 2 Pro, to the United States… expand full story

We are sponsoring our second dinner for Adam Lambert fans before his concert at Pacific Amphitheater in Costa Mesa, California, on Thursday, July 19, 2012. We already have 24 confirmed guests and Lila and I are looking forward to celebrating with you! If you have already responded to our first article about this a few weeks ago, thank you. If you are still waiting – please don't! We need to give the restaurant enough lead-time to make arrangements both in seating and food. Your deadline is July 15 to let us know. RSVP at email@example.com with your name, cell phone number and how many people will be in your party. Further communication will go to directly to you. You will be emailed a specially designed nametag that you can print and put in a nametag holder.
Dinner will be at Mimi's Café, 4:30 pm, 1835 Newport Blvd. in Costa Mesa, about 2 miles from the venue. This was a very successful location for our last dinner, in July 2010. As an added bonus, we will be holding a drawing for a signed magazine! Which magazine? One with Adam on the cover, of course! You'll have to attend the dinner to find out which one!!
If you need transportation to the dinner, it's easy! The OCTA bus system has two stops at the Fairgrounds with very little walking, and will let off at the restaurant corner. I'm planning on parking my car at the Fairgrounds and taking the bus to avoid parking congestion just prior to the start of the show. Go to www.octa.net to plan your trip. The site has a very easy-to-use trip planner showing exact stop locations. If you're leaving from the Fairgrounds, the address is 88 Fair Dr., Costa Mesa. The restaurant is at 1835 Newport Blvd., Costa Mesa. Plan on bringing cash – singles and quarters for the fare. It's $1.50 each way, or .60 cents for those over 60 or disabled. Please bring proper identification to show the bus driver if you are using this option. Allow approximately 20 minutes for travel and plan to be at your stop 10 minutes ahead of time. We're meeting at Mimi's at 4:30 PM and the concert starts at 7:45 PM so plan accordingly.
With this number of guests, we are required to have a planned menu, with a variety of entrée options. All guests are responsible for their own bills. See the menu here for details.
Entrée choices:
1. French Quarter Burger (beef or turkey). Includes fries, coleslaw or kettle chips. $10.49
2. Mediterranean Fettuccini $10.49; add $2.49 for chicken.
3. Tilapia – with vegetables & choice of potato, brown or white rice. $14.99
4. Bleu Cheese Walnut Salad – with freshly baked muffin. Omit bleu cheese for vegan. $8.49
We are looking forward to partying with all of you and then having the best time of our lives!
Love ya!

Pulmonary Division, Heart Institute (InCor), University of Sao Paulo Medical Sch, Sao Paulo, Brazil
PURPOSE: Residual pleural thickening is a complication of tuberculous pleurisy. Transforming Growth Factor-β1 (TGF-β1) plays a key role in tissue remodeling by increasing the production or decreasing the degradation of connective tissue after injury. The objective of this study was to determine whether pleural fluid and serum levels of TGF-β1 are correlated with the development of pleural thickening.
METHODS: A total of 58 pleural fluid and serum samples from patients with tuberculosis (n = 50) or transudates (n = 8) were evaluated. Serum and pleural fluid TGF-β1 were quantified by ELISA and the pleural thickening before and after the specific treatment was measured in high resolution computed tomography. Pleural thickening scores were: 0: < 3mm; 1: ≥ 3 and < 10mm and 2: ≥ 10mm.
RESULTS: Pleural fluid and serum TGF-β1 were higher in tuberculosis than in transudates (p<0.001). The mean TGF-β1 levels in patients from score 2 (955.7 ± 491.9 pg/mL), were higher (p = 0.032) than those observed in patients from score 0 (605.8 ± 456.7 pg/mL) or score 1 (547.0 ± 442.1 pg/mL). After the specific treatment, there were no changes in the pleural thickening observed in patients from score 0 and 2. From score 1, 36% have changed to score to 2 (TGF-β1 = 884.6 ± 471.4) and 36% have changed to score 0 (TGF-β1 = 509.7 ± 337.1), with statistical significance between TGF levels (p = 0.026). We do not observe significant differences in serum TGF-β1 levels when compared to the different scores (p = 0. 591).
CONCLUSION: TGF-β1 levels in serum and in pleural fluid are higher in tuberculosis than in transudates. The pleural levels of TGF-β1 were correlated with pleural thickening and could be a potential predictor of pleural thickening in tuberculous pleurisy.
CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: These results may imply in a new therapeutic approach associating TGF-β inhibitors to prevent the pleural thickening.

It's a Brit Tit Blitz when XL Girl Sarah Jane gets fucked in a hotel room by Lutro. He's on her like glue and can't wait to get her nude, rude, lewd and screwed. What is the secret of Sarah Jane's popularity. Let's check this out. Sarah's got heavy, juicy jugs and a thick ass, always a sign of fertility. She has an extremely approachable personality and appearance. In other words, she looks attainable. That's another magnetic marker for most males. She has the woman-next-door look that many raise the flag for. She'd bang you and then make you a cuppa tea.

Body taken.... but Heart is your'sMature
"So" Falcon says turning to face me. "That kiss was a lie"
Eternal clicks her fingers and a shield surrounds the tent. "No" She whispers. Falcon turns to face her clearly upset.
"Then tell me.... how are you engaged?" he whispers.
"Have you never been in love before" Eternal whispers looking up at him. His jaw twitches.
"I tried a relationship and it didn't work out" he says straight forwardly. Eternal looks directly into his eyes.
"When were you going to tell me?" Falcon whispers.
"I didn't think he would find me again" Eternal whispers. She digs into her pocket and pull out the flower stoned ring.
"Thats it right..... the cause of this" Falcon hisses. He looks away and his hands clench into fists. Eternal shoves it back into her pocket and walk over rreaching up to place a hand on his cheek.
"I cant change the past...... I cant hurt him either" She whispers. "But know this. My body maybe taken... his...... but" She sucks it a sharp breath. "My heart will always be your's"
She reaches up on her tip toes kisses him and races out the tent throwing down the shield. She runs straight past Alec cause she doesn't want him to see theses tears she's crying.

Noodle Bar is my favourite place in the theatre district for a quick meal. It's always delicious and exciting with fast, efficient and friendly service. My faves are ramen, pork buns (and now Rueben, chicken and shitake buns too), roasted rice cakes, and a new favourite, okomomiyaki (Japanese yam pancake with toppings). Chocolate pudding - delicious.
