You're going to read a lot about Sid The Kid's effort on Pittsburgh's game-winning goal against Ottawa and now you can check it out for yourselves. Kris Letang's shot wasn't too bad either. This highlight reel will be seen a lot not only on television but also in Jason Spezza's nightmares.
After earning Memorial Cup MVP, Coyotes prospect Dylan Strome faces another important offseason
Dylan Strome began this season in the NHL with the Arizona Coyotes. He ended it in junior, earning most valuable player honors in the 2017 Memorial Cup.
Strome and his Erie Otters didn't capture the championship, as their season ultimately ended with a loss in Sunday's finale. The Memorial Cup title went to the Windsor Spitfires thanks to a dominant performance from Maple Leafs prospect Jeremy Bracco.
Still, Strome posted 11 points in five games at the Memorial Cup, including a record-breaking seven points in a single game. That was on top of a campaign in which he had 109 points in 57 games combined between regular season and playoffs.
"There are a lot of players who get sent back and have trouble overcoming the disappointment," Erie's head coach Kris Knoblauch told NHL.com. "But Dylan has never been like that. That's a major reason we are here."
Taken third overall by the Coyotes in the 2015 NHL Draft, Strome began this season with the big club, but after appearing in only seven games with one assist, Arizona made the decision to send its prized prospect back to juniors. (Remember, Strome wasn't eligible at the time to play in the AHL.)
That 2015 draft was loaded with top-end, first-round talent. It started with Connor McDavid, then Jack Eichel as the top two picks. Strome was third, followed by Mitch Marner at fourth.
The Strome vs. Marner debate and comparisons started well before the draft took place. Marner has played 77 games in the NHL for the Maple Leafs, with an impressive 61 points. Could've been rookie of the year had it not been for playing in the same freshman class as Auston Matthews and Patrik Laine.
Of the top 11 picks in that draft, Strome has played the fewest NHL games so far. But he also plays center, and physical strength, especially at that position, seemed to be a focal point of his development when the Coyotes sent him down earlier in the year. His skating, too, is something Central Scouting had previously identified as needing improvement, even before the draft.
"I think Dylan, physically, it's going to take him some time," said Coyotes general manager John Chayka earlier in the season. "That's where we got to — that he needs to get stronger."
Chayka later added that on-ice performance is what the Coyotes would be keeping track of while Strome was back in Erie. Strome was certainly productive — again. He had a goal and an assist in the Memorial Cup final, before receiving his MVP nod.
Last year, Strome made the Coyotes roster out of training camp, along with other youngsters Jakob Chychrun, Lawson Crouse, and Christian Dvorak.
Pekka Rinne begins Stanley Cup Final as the Conn Smythe favorite
Pekka Rinne enters the Stanley Cup Final as the favorite to capture the Conn Smythe Trophy as the playoff MVP, according to odds released by Bovada.
No surprise.
The Predators have gone on a terrific run this postseason, hitting the high expectations laid out for them prior to the start of the season. There have been many reasons for their success this spring, most notably the play of Rinne in goal.
He started the playoffs with consecutive shutouts versus the Blackhawks and then only gave up three goals in the final two games as Nashville swept Chicago, considered the Stanley Cup favorite when the playoffs began, in the opening round.
Rinne has continued to roll, with a .941 save percentage throughout the entire playoffs, while Nashville has allowed only 29 goals in 16 games.
Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin are also near the top of that list for the Conn Smythe odds. Crosby is the reigning Conn Smythe winner, while Malkin leads all players with 24 points in 19 playoff games.
Here are the odds, via Bovada:
Pekka Rinne 9/4
Sidney Crosby 5/2
Evgeni Malkin 7/2
Matt Murray 9/1
Filip Forsberg 10/1
Phil Kessel 10/1
PK Subban 16/1
Roman Josi 25/1
Viktor Arvidsson 33/1
Ryan Ellis 33/1
Jake Guentzel 33/1
Chris Kunitz 33/1
Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final is Monday in Pittsburgh. After winning it all a year ago, the Penguins enter the series as the favorites against the Predators.

Here's how the Penguins will line up for Game 1
PITTSBURGH — The Pittsburgh Penguins are back in the Stanley Cup Final for the second year in a row and are looking to become the first team to win it in back-to-back years in two decades.
Here is a look at how they are expected to lineup on Monday night for the first game of the series.
Chris Kunitz–Sidney Crosby–Conor Sheary
Scott Wilson–Evgeni Malkin–Phil Kessel
Bryan Rust–Nick Bonino–Carter Rowney
Jake Guentzel–Matt Cullen–Patric Hornqvist
This is based on what we saw from the Penguins in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Finals against Ottawa and based on the practice lines on Sunday. With Patric Hornqvist returning to the lineup on Monday night it is going to come down to Jake Guentzel or Carl Hagelin being the odd man out, and given that Hagelin spent extra time on the ice with the scratches following the morning skate it seems likely he will be the scratch. Guentzel is still the NHL's playoff leader in goals, but is currently riding an eight-game goal drought.
The Kunitz-Crosby-Sheary line was assembled in Game 7 and produced two of the Penguins' three goals in their double overtime win.
Ian Cole–Justin Schultz
Olli Maatta–Trevor Daley
Brian Dumoulin–Ron Hainsey
While Mike Sullivan has had a tendency to throw his line combinations into a blender during the postseason, his defense pairings have remained relatively consistent as long as he has the same healthy players in the lineup. And they are the ones you see above. Cole and Schultz have spent a significant portion of the season playing alongside one another and have formed a really solid duo. Olli Maatta has had some struggles at times, but over the past couple of weeks has played some of his best hockey in over a year. All of these pairings will get a similar amount of ice time.
Matt Murray (starter)
Marc-Andre Fleury (backup)
Murray has reclaimed his starting spot since returning from injury and has won three of his first four starts while posting a .946 save percentage. He is playing in his second Stanley Cup Final even though he is still considered a rookie in the eyes of the NHL.
Here's how the Predators will line up for Game 1
PITTSBURGH — For the first time in franchise history, the Nashville Predators will play in a Stanley Cup Final tonight.
Here's how the Preds are expected to look in Game 1 against the Penguins at PPG Paints Arena:
Filip Forsberg — Colton Sissons — Pontus Aberg
Viktor Arvidsson — Mike Fisher — James Neal
Colin Wilson — Calle Jarnkrok — Craig Smith
Frederick Gaudreau — Vernon Fiddler — Austin Watson
The big omission up front is Ryan Johansen, the Preds' No. 1 center who's been diagnosed with acute compartment syndrome and won't play in the final. Kevin Fiala was also lost for the playoffs after getting hurt in the second round.
Johansen was acquired last year to give the Preds the type of elite center they'd been missing. Obviously, the timing of his injury couldn't have been much worse.
"We lost a lot of offense and a big, heavy, strong centerman in Johansen," said Sissons. "There's gonna be some big shoes for us to fill."
Of note, Wilson was absent from this morning's skate. If he doesn't play for whatever reason, expect Cody McLeod to take his spot.
Roman Josi — Ryan Ellis
Mattias Ekholm — P.K. Subban
Matt Irwin — Yannick Weber
This is the strength of Nashville's roster. Essentially, the Preds have two first pairings at their disposal, and head coach Peter Laviolette deploys them as such.
Penguins center Evgeni Malkin told reporters yesterday that it's like the Preds have "four Karlssons," referring to Josi, Ellis, Ekholm, and Subban.
That's a slight exaggeration, but it's arguably the best top four in the league.
Pekka Rinne (starter)
Juuse Saros (backup)
Rinne has been excellent in these playoffs, compiling a 12-4 record with a .941 save percentage. This after a regular season where his save percentage fluctuated wildly from month-to-month.
"I think we started off really well (in the playoffs) against Chicago, then you gain some confidence, and personally I was playing well," Rinne said. "Once that ball starts rolling you feel better and better and things start to go your way. I feel the biggest thing is as a team, for a long time in the regular season we were trying to find consistency and at times we didn't do a good job. I feel like this postseason we've been really consistent and solid and playing really good hockey for 16 games now."
Rinne has been so good that Saros has yet to even play a second of the postseason.

A fantastic stoppage-time goal from Joel Grant earned Wycombe a much-deserved point at Meadow Lane after Ben Burgess' first-minute goal looked to have given Notts County the victory.Burgess rose highest to power home Alan Sheehan's corner within 45 seconds of kick-off but the expected wave of attacks from the hosts never materialized, and the Blues were unlucky to be trailing at the break after Scott Donnelly's header was well saved by Stuart Nelson.County lacked ambition after the interval and allowed the visitors to press forward, with Nelson producing another fine save to keep out Stuart Beavon's header.However, as the game neared the end, a rocket from Grant lit up the away stand on Fireworks Night to salvage a point and keep the Wanderers off the bottom of the table.Marvin McCoy, Leon Johnson, Scott Donnelly and Ben Strevens returned to the starting XI for the clash at Meadow Lane, taking the places of Dave Winfield (ill), James Tunnicliffe (groin), captain Gareth Ainsworth (suspended) and 15-year-old Jordon Ibe.Wanderers made the worst possible start to the game, conceding inside the opening minute when Ben Burgess thundered a header past Nikki Bull from Alan Sheehan's corner.The Blues responded well, with Donnelly looking the most likely to find Gary Waddock's men a way back into the match. The attacking midfielder created two chances in quick succession - firstly from a free-kick which was scoop over the top by Johnson and then a pinpoint cross for Strevens, who was outmuscled by Krystian Pearce just as he was aiming to test Stuart Nelson. County reminded the visitors of their attacking threat when Alan Judge forced a smart save from Bull on 19 minutes after the midfielder latched onto a mis-placed pass by Stuart Lewis. At the other end, Donnelly's close-range header was expertly saved by Nelson from McCoy's inch-perfect delivery as the Blues looked to capitalise on an improved spell. Charlie Allen, Martin's son, then fired a 25-yard effort over the top before Lee Hughes wasted a golden opportunity to give the hosts a two-goal lead as the half-time whistle approached, poking the ball wide from 12 yards after evading Danny Foster's challenge.The second half started quietly, with Nikki Bull denying an offside Lee Hughes with a superb one-handed save before Grant Basey fired over the bar following a Wycombe corner.Alan Judge's 30-yard daisycutter hit the outside of the post just after the hour-mark on one of the few occasions when County were able to enjoy any possession in the Wycombe half, having settled for the mundane long-ball game to break up the visitors' attacks.Stuart Beavon's flick-on from Scott Donnelly's free-kick just evaded his team-mates at the back stick before Jordon Ibe came off the bench in place of Ben Strevens in attack.Ibe was at the heart of most of Wycombe's moves in the final third as County looked desperate to run down the clock, and they were almost punished when Beavon forced a superb save from Stuart Nelson with a header that seemed destined for the top corner.For all of the visitors' smart football and probing passes, the chances weren't forthcoming. The ball barely left the County half and no matter how many times it fizzed across the box, there was no clinical finish.That was until stoppage time. Joel Grant had looked lively since his introduction and smashed the ball goalwards in frustration from 25 yards, seeing his effort swerve past a flat-footed Stuart Nelson in the County goal and sparking jubilant celebrations in the Jimmy Sirrel Stand. Even Nikki Bull - a spectator for the whole second half - joined in with the huddle.That was that, and Wycombe had earned just what they deserved with a superb second-half display against a turgid County side, claiming a point which keeps them off the bottom of the table.

Today's post is from my new friend Melanie Hoffman, author of Pickle Me Too. Melanie and I met at the first of the year, when I started my 52 Weeks series. She is also one of the newest members of the Nourished Living Network and I am so excited to get to know her better. When I heard about her recipe for lacto-fermented Brussels sprouts, I knew I had to have her share the recipe as week 8 of my series. I have a batch of this working their magic right now and I can't wait to give them a try. It's a fantastic twist on your regular cabbage ferments like kimchi or sauerkraut. So, without further adieu, please welcome Melanie to week 8 of some bad a** bacteria!
UPDATE 7/26/12: Neither Melanie, nor I, use whey as a starter for my ferments (learn why here). We also no longer use Mason jars for my ferments (learn why here). I personally use anaerobic fermenting jars exclusively and the improvement in the taste and texture of my ferments is unbelievable! I encourage everyone to take a look at the information regarding Mason jar ferments and come to a decision that best fits their family. I will be releasing updated versions of these recipes soon, as it applies to these jars. I recommend the anaerobic fermenting systems from my affiliate partner, The Probiotic Jar.
Thank you, Jessica, for letting me take over your blog for the day! I was first introduced to Jessica when she announced her 52 Weeks of Bad A** Bacteria series and I knew I had found a friend, because I also have a fascination with fermentation. My blog, Pickle Me Too, revolves mainly around cultured foods (though I don't restrict myself to just fermentation). I feature a ferment each week for Ferment Friday and this is one of the recipes that I created back in December.
At that time, I happened across a bag of organic Brussels Sprouts while on vacation (not something I normally would see in the stores back home) and knew I had to try fermenting them. Closely related to cabbage, they seemed a perfect vegetable to pickle. The best part about these, besides the awesome taste, is how cool they look in the jar.
Brine Pickled Brussels Sprouts
makes approx. 1 quart
1lb Brussels Sprouts, rinsed and halved
2 shallots, sliced thin
1 tsp. red pepper flakes, optional
1/4 cup fresh whey (vegetable culture – affiliate link – or an additional tbsp of salt)
3.6% salt brine (4 tbsp. salt dissolved in 8 cups of filtered water)
Layer the Brussels sprouts, shallots, and red pepper flakes in 1 quart mason jar, packing them tight. Pour whey or vegetable culture over the top and fill with salt brine to cover, leaving about 1" of head space. Use a small plate or cabbage leaf to keep Brussels sprouts submerged. Let set at room temperature for one to two weeks. Place in cold storage.
Beware when opening the jar. This smells almost as good as kimchi.
Melanie is the creator and author of Pickle Me Too, a real foods blog that focuses on lacto-fermented foods. She is a homeschooling mom to 4 active boys, living life on a small hobby farm with 32 chickens, 1 cow, 2 goats, and 2 mouse hunting kittens. Her family follows the principles of the WAPF, with some modifications that include limiting grain consumption and avoiding gluten. She is one of the newest members of the Nourished Living Network and is excited to share her knowlege with her fellow bloggers and readers. You can keep up with her through her blog, or connect with her on Facebook or Pinterest.

Background: Tidal expiratory flow limitation (EFL) contributes to chronic dyspnea and exercise intolerance in COPD patients. It can be assessed with the negative expiratory pressure (NEP) technique and is expressed as either the percentage of the tidal volume over which EFL occurs (EFL%Vt) or according to more detailed three-point or five-point scoring systems. The aim of this study was to evaluate the reproducibility of the NEP technique in COPD patients.
Methods: Tidal EFL was evaluated with NEP in 18 subjects with stable COPD (FEV1 range, 18 to 75% predicted) on two occasions (mean retest interval, 8.2 days) by the same rater. Agreement between testing occasions was assessed with the κ statistic for the 3-point and 5-point EFL scores, and with the coefficient of repeatability for EFL%Vt.
Results: On the first testing occasion, nine subjects had no EFL, four subjects had EFL in the supine position, and five subjects had EFL in the sitting and the supine position. Using the 3-point score, agreement was present in 14 of 18 subjects at time 2 (κ = 0.66), indicating substantial agreement. Using the 5-point score, agreement was seen in 13 of 18 subjects (κ = 0.61), also indicating substantial agreement. The reproducibility of EFL%Vt measurements was lower than that required to reliably detect clinical change in both the sitting and supine positions (coefficient of repeatability, 37% and 58%, respectively).
Conclusions: The 3-point and 5-point scores provide a reproducible assessment of EFL in COPD patients. The classification of EFL as a percentage of tidal volume is less reproducible, and large changes are required to be confident that real clinical change has occurred.

LightSheer Laser Hair Removal - Pros and Cons
posted on
If you want to get rid of unwanted body hair permanently, electrolysis and laser hair removal treatments offer promising results. Laser hair removal technology breaks down the hair at its root without damaging the surrounding skin. It is most effective for those with dark hair and fair skin because the laser only 'finds' the follicle because of its darker color. The LightSheer device is one of the latest innovations in laser hair removal, and is considered to be the 'gold standard' for permanent hair removal procedures. It is a non-invasive laser that offers promising results for both men and women.
Here's what you need to know about the LightSheer laser hair removal system:
How does LightSheer Laser Hair Removal Work?
What are the Benefits of the LightSheer System?
- Smooth and natural-looking skin after hair is removed
- Customizable treatment
- Attractive option for fair-skinned individuals
- No medication or special supplements required
- Can be used on tanned skin; however, patients are advised to stay out of the sun for at least 6 weeks prior to treatment
- Proven track record of results
- Simple administration process
What are the Drawbacks of the LightSheer System?

Journals: Volume Fifteen, Scholarly Edition
€ 105,99
Besorgung - Lieferbarkeit unbestimmt
Januar 1989
BeschreibungThis volume presents Melville's three known journals. Unlike his contemporaries Emerson, Thoreau, and Hawthorne, Melville kept no habitual record of his days and thoughts; each of his three journals records his actions and observations on trips far from home. In this edition's Historical Note, Howard C. Horsford places each of the journals in the context of Melville's career, discusses its general character, and points out the later literary uses he made of it, notably in Moby-Dick, Clarel, and his magazine pieces. The editors supply full annotations of Melville's allusions and terse entries and an exhaustive index makes available the range of his acquaintance with people, places, and works of art. Also included are related documents, illustrations, maps, and many pages and passages reproduced from the journals. This scholarly edition aims to present a text as close to the author's intention as his difficult handwriting permits. It is an Approved Text of the Center for Editions of American Authors (Modern Language Association of America).
PortraitHerman Melville (August 1, 1819 - September 28, 1891) was an American novelist, short story writer, essayist, and poet. He is best known for his novel "Moby-Dick." His first three books gained much contemporary attention (the first, "Typee," becoming a bestseller), and after a fast-blooming literary success in the late 1840s, his popularity declined precipitously in the mid-1850s and never recovered during his lifetime. When he died in 1891, he was almost completely forgotten. It was not until the "Melville Revival" in the early 20th century that his work won recognition, especially" Moby-Dick," which was hailed as one of the literary masterpieces of both American and world literature. He was the first writer to have his works collected and published by the Library of America.

Whoever's Taking Over the Old Whole Foods on Lower Greenville Is in No Rush to Do So
I called Mitchell Rasansky Friday -- because, you may remember, I was supposed to. Last month, the former council member and co-owner of the former Whole Foods on Lower Greenville said that come October 21, we should know to whom he was leasing that space -- be it a Walmart or a whatever. But when Rasansky returned my ring late in the day, he insisted he actually told me to call back on November 25. No, I told him: "You said 45 days 45 days ago." Then Rasansky said: Well, it doesn't matter now.
"They've asked for a third extension," he said, without, of course, ever mentioning who they are. So, we'll keep on waiting till the day after Thanksgiving.
And that's all he'll say about that. Well, except this: I told Rasansky there's a rumor going around that he's leasing the space to a well-known local eatery. That, he insisted, is not true: "It's not a restaurant," he said. "I would never do that to the people in the neighborhood." So there. Better than nothing.
Oh -- and speaking of Lower Greenville, that proposed bowling alley next to Good Records will have its last shot at a specific use permit Wednesday in front of the city council.

Thieves accused of stealing thousands in jewelry from Buckhead home
by: Craig Lucie Updated:
ATLANTA - A Buckhead woman said some clever thieves disarmed her alarm in less than 30 seconds before the police were called, and then stole thousands in jewelry.
Catherine Carrigan said detectives told her the burglars, who hit her
Buckhead home, were not amateurs.
"The thieves had cut the wires to the alarm system," Carrigan told Channel 2's Craig Lucie.
The thieves knew exactly where her alarm control panel was and which wires to cut, she said.
The thieves packed up nearly $11,000 in gold and diamond rings, along with Carrigan's electronics.
"The thieves stole
two televisions, a DVD player and all the rings from my jewelry box," Carrigan said.
This is the latest in a series of Buckhead break-ins
in which burglars are going high-tech.
Channel 2 Action News reported last month how thieves cut out the window panes of a home on Woodward Way off of Peachtree Battle and stole thousands of dollars' worth of fine silver while the owners were sleeping.
Similar attempted break-ins were reported on the same street.
"I made the mistake of thinking because I had paid for an alarm system that my house was totally protected," Carrigan explained.
She said other homeowners can learn from this burglary.
"The alarm company said as a consumer, you are supposed to test your alarm yourself every month," Carrigan said.

DNA extraction method affects microbial community profiles from soils and sediment

To evaluate whether different deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) extraction procedures can affect estimates of bacterial community composition, based on the 16S ribosomal ribonucleic acid gene denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) profiles, we compared four in situ lysis procedures using three soils and one marine sediment. Analysis of DGGE profiles, generated by polymerase chain reaction of purified DNA extracts, demonstrated that the choice of DNA extraction method significantly influenced the bacterial community profiles generated. This was reflected both in the number of bands or ribotypes detected from each sample and in subsequent principle coordinate analysis and unweighted-pair group method using arithmetic average analyses. The methods also differed significantly in their robustness, i.e. reproducibility across multiple analyses. Two methods, both based on bead beating, were demonstrated to be suitable for comparative studies of a range of soil and sediment types.

Edits, dogs, Kickstarter, and fan mail -- random is how I roll
But I forgot. (Sorry B.E. and Karyn!)
Forgot it was Wednesday.
Forgot to blog.
So I'm just going to blurt out the random thoughts that come to mind.
1) I'm working on the edits for the next Hitwoman book. (Hence my losing track of what day it is!) So much is happening in this book that I'm a bit overwhelmed, but I'm really excited on where it's taking Maggie and the gang. With good luck and a strong wind, the book will be out next month!
2) I'm dog-sitting. It's great because my dog has a playmate for the day, but I'd forgotten what a pain in can be to walk two dogs at the same time.
3) I've become a benefactor of the arts.
Just kidding.
I don't really have the money to do that, but I have been backing some interesting Kickstarter projects lately.
Here's one I backed that was successfully funded for a book about Yellowstone National Park. (I'm kind of obsessed with Yellowstone.)
Here's the one I'm currently backing, a new album from singer-songwriter Jace Pawlak. Because a day without music would be like a day without books!
4) I've gotten some really awesome fan mail lately. (Apparently the Hitwoman series is an excellent way to procrastinate...at least that seems to be the theme of some of the letters, lol.) I'm always so appreciative of those that take the time to write. It means so much to know that my work has touched them...I just hope they know that I'M so touched by their love and support.
Tell me Killer Friends: What are YOU currently obsessed with? What are you reading? What are you listening to? Do you know what day of the week it is?

No biggie. I hardly ever know what day of the week it is.
I'm re-reading Dragons of Winter Night by Weis and Hickman. I was listening to the sound of a thunderstorm, but it passed while I was napping. I can't say I'm really obsessed with anything right now. Sleep, maybe. ;o)

I had to check the calendar first lol but its clicked into Thursday some time earlier... omg I need coffee.
Im reading the 2nd Mayhem sisters book by Lauren Quick and I'm really enjoying it the first one was good to as for music it has been a flash back to the 80's here lot's of songs from good 80's movies oh and of course plenty of WHAM, Culture Club, Cindy Lauper ..... as for obsessions nothing really springs to mind except books of course lol

I hear you! Things are a little crazy at the moment here too. Still obsessed with bullet journaling. And therefore markers. Also reading The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah, which I'm loving.

Mortgage lenders and other financial institutions often complain of the public's lack of interest in shopping around to make the most of their money. Yet they themselves go out of their way to confuse and befuddle.
Last week the Financial Ombudsman ruled against Halifax bank in a case testing the lender's right to offer two standard variable mortgage rates, one to set payments for established discount deals and one for others. The borrower who complained will receive compensation and, from the headlines, other borrowers similarly affected might have assumed they would be too.
Not a bit of it. They must fight individual cases, and their success or failure will depend on their circumstances, says Halifax.
Other lenders - Abbey National, HSBC and Nationwide - entangled in similar rows show little enthusiasm for ending this problem.
They and Halifax should stop arguing, pay up and shut up. Their tactics caused confusion, and even the aftermath is similarly mired.
No wonder the 'to hell with it' factor rules among consumers, who would rather spend than save.

We receive no funding from the Government or the Crown, so we depend on the support of our visitors, members, donors, volunteers and sponsors.
These palaces are owned by The Queen on behalf of the nation, and we manage them for the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport.
We believe in four principles. Guardianship: giving these palaces a future as long and valuable as their past. Discovery: encouraging people to make links with their own lives and today's world. Showmanship: doing everything with panache. Independence: having our own point of view and finding new ways to do our work. http://www.hrp.org.uk/ registered charity number 1068852 -ends-

Craig David is back. He has a new song. It's one part Craig David, three parts The Weeknd and 15 parts Kanye West and it's completely ridiculous but I kind of love it.
Six years after his last album to feature original material, Trust Me (thanks Wikipedia, I obviously only know Born To Do It), David is to drop a new LP entitled Following My Intuition, and "Cold" is the first single to be released from it.
He seems to be aiming for 808s & Heartbreak-era Kanye West on it (in fact the chorus sample might actually be Kanye?), while lyrical highlights include:
"Cold hearted and deranged like a killer chick from a movie"
"The girl's an instant lover / Like a hit of MDMA"
"Before you know it you're naked"
The new album will also feature a track called "Less Is More" and will be released through Universal.
That's about all we know about it so far, so this seems like a good opportunity to just stop and listen to "Seven Days":

In our series Facts from the Field, #5 explains how AppEnsure helped a big customer close down what the Dir of IT Ops, Steve, calls "Trouble Ticket Heaven", the place where the trouble tickets can live forever!!! He is NOT being complimentary in this definition.
The start point for this is that many legacy applications that were "modernized" by applying a web layer at the access layer, are streamed using XenApp as the delivery mechanism. This an effective approach and widely used, however, the independent tech silo admins have never found an effective way to see where the issues are that cause slowness, hence passing trouble tickets around, not closing them.
Steve's BU users were typically having 30 – 60 seconds delays for published applications to respond back. They would call the Citrix admins complaining and the Citrix admins looked at all the counters they get from Citrix which claimed that everything is working well. Then they pass the trouble ticket to the backend infrastructure team who would look at the application servers and determine that everything is fine because the servers that are running the application workload all report back with green lights that they are up and running. However, this approach to tech silo "availability" cannot highlight slowness problems as this approach does not give the granular visibility of every call coming from XenApp and what its' response time is. The ticket remains open in Trouble Ticket Heaven and the user gives up and gets used to the slowness.

New hotel, comfortable, big rooms, friendly and helpful staff, very nice pool and saunas area as well as the SPA area. The restaurant is excellent! The elevator is just one and much too slow. The bar in the lobby should be opened longer. The staff should inform some guests how to use sauna in the civilized place.
Good as a whole
The hotel Elbrus has a good location in the centre of Szczyrk, is close to ski jumps, ski runs and mountain walks. The hotel provides top-class accomodation and spa facilities.

Harmony: the last song
Kyoshiro sang with me, making me feel whole for the first and maybe last time. He said he loved me and made me promise to not stop myself from falling in love, then he dissapeared. I collapsed into floods of tears "I love you too kyoshiro" I whispered. I ran past everyone, covering my eyes and fell onto the floor of my balcony. Who new a heart that cant beat would hurt so much. Who knew it could still break? I cried harder, aware someone was behind me but I couldn't turn, I didn't care if it was a hunter. I knew whoever was behind me obviously didn't want to harm me because they could have by now. So who was there.....I wondered in between sobs.

Bucket/Cam Noise on 2002 SVT Focus. Parts questions.
I just took it to a great local shop and he listened to it and said it was a bucket making noise. He quoted around $250 to do the fix. This included replacing multiple buckets and other parts if needed(without taking the head off). I also asked him about a full top end rebuild and he quoted around $1000.
He told me that he would use Ford OEM parts if I got them which would save me on parts so i'll get them from Tousley Ford.
Anyway, I'm by no means a full on gearhead. I can work on my car to a limited extent but what exactly entails a bucket replacement and/or a full rebuild? Do you need to take the timing belt off and cam out to replace the buckets on this car? What parts would be needed for just the replacement and also what parts for a full on rebuild? I called Tousley and the guy said that there were about 10 different lengths and I would need to know that.
A mechanic friend and I replaced the timing belt 9 months ago(8,000 miles) and the cams looked amazing. I had a coilpack die immediately after replacing the belt and it was only running on three cylinders so I freaked out and took it to the Ford Garage and the mechanic said that the timing was perfect so that didn't contribute to the problem.
The mechanic that listened to it today said it was probably just one bucket. The car has 110 thousand miles on it.
Here is a video of the sound.

THE mother and stepfather of missing teenager Megan Stammers today made an
emotional appeal for her to come home.
Tearful Danielle Wilson, the 15-year-old's mum, said she wanted her "adorable
mermaid" back, adding: "Sweetheart, I don't care what you've done or why, I
just want you home."
The schoolgirl is believed to be in France after running away with her
30-year-old maths teacher, Jeremy Forrest.
Speaking at Sussex Police Headquaters, Megan's stepfather Martin Stammers
added: "I just want you to come home safe and well."
Megan and Jeremy travelled out on a ferry together on Thursday evening and
were due to return to the UK yesterday but did not use their tickets.
Married Forrest, 30 who is believed to have fled with Megan,
sparking a police hunt wrote of a forbidden love which "hit him
like heroin".
Internet blogs unearthed by The Sun reveal he admitted a "moral dilemma" four
months ago.
In a post entitled "You hit me just like heroin", he wrote: "The last two
weeks have been pretty intense, in both a good and a bad way! It will have
to be a bit vague to be publically digestible."
In another message he told how he wanted to "wake up next to you, kissing the
curve in your clavicle" (collarbone).
Megan is feared to have fallen for Forrest — who plays in a rock band under
his stage name Jeremy Ayre — several months ago. As long ago as June 27 he
posted on Twitter: "Let's just run away."
Megan was reported missing on Friday after failing to turn up at Bishop Bell C
of E School in Eastbourne, East Sussex, where Forrest teaches. They were
caught on CCTV boarding the 9.20pm Dover to Calais ferry.
Police appealed for information from anyone who has seen them or his black
Ford Focus, reg GJ08 RJO.
Megan's separated dad Martin, 43, of Eastbourne — also a teacher — said: "I
just want her back. We hadn't had any family rows. This came completely out
of the blue. She's a happy, happy girl."
Neighbours of Forrest and wife Emily, 31, told how police had been called to
late night "screaming matches" at their £200,000 home in Ringmer, East
Sussex. One added: "The language they use is just filth." Emily refused to
Megan's pals spoke of their concern for her on social websites. Becca Sykes
Lade said: "I feel physically sick." Emily Hartingdon added: "Such a creep,
hope he gives her back."
Chief Inspector Jason Tingley said: "We need Megan or Jeremy to make contact
with us to help us return her safely to her family."
A pal of Jeremy said he had told friends he and Emily were having a trial
separation. He said: "This is completely out of character. He is a pretty
nice bloke."
Jeremy's dad Jim, 59, said: "Everyone in the family can't believe it. Jeremy
is always looking to help people."

Replacing this with a black Houdini. The condition is good to very good. I bought it used here on BPL and I've used it several times and had no problems with it. Needs to be washed but other than that I cannot detect any sign of wear. When I get home tonight I can verify the condition again and I can take photos of it for anyone interested.
Thank you for looking!!

I need to sell this blue Houdini to cover what I spent on a black Houdini. What, now all of a sudden nobody likes Houdinis? Bologna. Houdinis rock and you know it, so give me a shout and MAYBE I will let you buy this from me.

I'm surprised this hasn't sold yet. I've been eyeing this since I need a good lightweight windshirt. Alas…no cash to spare towards new gear :( If I did, this would be MINE!
