YES - Andy Gill
The abrupt curtailment of their career by Jim Morrison's death at the age of 27 both bestowed a certain dark cachet upon The Doors, and also prevented them from embarking upon the long, slow decline into which most of their peers subsequently sank. Ignoring the live albums and the posthumous efforts cobbled together from Morrison's poetry recitations, they left just six albums of surprisingly high quality, whatever one's views on the depth of the singer's poems, a knee-jerk target for detractors ever since.
Ironically, it's in his poetry's pretensions that much of the band's greatness resides. The Doors had an underlying attraction to the dark side that gave their best songs a multi-faceted appeal and ambivalence denied to the more starry-eyed hippies up the coast in San Francisco. Not that Morrison's pretensions weren't matched by his fellow band members, who leapt at any chance to bring jazz and classical elements into the pop realm – fairly commonplace now, but extremely rare back then. The result was a flexible musical weave that could take sudden left-turns when least expected, and was particularly well suited to the sort of extended narratives that interested Morrison. It's worth remembering, in this regard, that the band was born out of the attraction of two film students (Morrison and keyboardist Ray Manzarek) to the new blues and rock music: their songs never lost that narrative edge, not just lyrically, but also musically – the backdrops created by a band of just three musicians for pieces like "The End" and "Five to One" are startlingly visual representations of their themes, yet still imbued with muscular rock power.
Morrison's artistic pretensions were balanced by an instinctual feeling for the blues. He was always striving to reconcile his attraction to the atavism of the blues with his need for intellectual fulfilment, an alliance of id and superego that only Captain Beefheart ever equalled. Not for nothing did The Doors' debut album contain covers of both Howlin' Wolf and Brecht/Weill. But unlike most contemporary British adherents of the blues, the band's music was never stifled by any overweening claims on "authenticity"; instead, there was a blend of looseness and tightness that seemed to come more naturally to American musicians: albums such as Morrison Hotel and L.A. Woman present a straight-up great blues-boogie unit.
Yet for all Morrison's desire to be "an old blues man" – as per his anagrammatical alter-ego, Mr Mojo Risin' – there was always an awareness, in his delivery, of the absurdity of his position. At their best, in songs from "Roadhouse Blues" to "Riders on the Storm", "Not To Touch The Earth" to "L.A. Woman", The Doors created a mixture of the ridiculous and the sexy, the pretentious and the bullishly direct that was as compelling as any music of their era, a quixotic blend perfectly summarised in the grandiose promise to "tell you about the heartache and the loss of God".
NO - Fiona Sturges
You'll have to take my word for it when I tell you that I've tried to like The Doors. In my teens I convinced myself, along with many of my schoolgirl peers, that I had fallen for Jim Morrison's preening rock star cool. I borrowed (though thankfully never purchased) their first two albums, I read the Morrison biography No One Here Gets Out Alive (in which he is presented as a right pain in the backside) and sat dutifully through Oliver Stone's interminable biopic – though in fairness we can't blame Jim for that particular monstrosity. During a month-long stay in Paris, I even went to Père Lachaise and visited Morrison's grave. This was not a pilgrimage, you understand, but because it was a well-known hippy hangout and I hoped that someone might pass me a joint.
A couple of years later, old enough not to worry about the critical consensus, I revisited The Doors' work and came to the conclusion that Lester Bangs was right when he described Morrison, the son of a US rear admiral, as "a drunken buffoon masquerading as a poet". Around the same time, a friend introduced me to The Velvet Underground. The Doors may have had the hits, I realised, but the Velvets had the songs.
The Doors were the most overrated band of their era, if not of all time. They were self-regarding, overblown pseudo-hippies that appeared interesting largely because their singer was either drunk or on acid, or both. Their lyrics were as clunking and humourless as their music was overwrought and longwinded, hamstrung by endless keyboard noodling that probably added to the buzz if you were stalking the corridors of your mind on LSD but if you weren't was like the longest guitar solo on the dreariest album by the worst prog-rock band in the world. It is also a mystery to me how anyone could prostrate themselves at the feet of a middle-class boy who styled himself as some sort of shaman, possessed with the Native American spirit, or worse still a Lizard King. Then again, perhaps they were just humouring the silly plank.
The Doors were successful partly due to their timing – their music had a darkness to it that chimed with the beginning of the end of the hippy dream – and also because of their very distinct, and to a teenager very compelling, image. In the same way that James Dean embodied danger and romance by donning a leather jacket and acting all stroppy in Rebel without a Cause, Morrison pulled off the same trick with a pair of leather trousers, a bottle of Jack Daniels and a rock band. It was, inevitably, Morrison's premature death in his Parisian bathtub at the age of 27 more than his back catalogue that sealed his place in rock mythology. I don't dispute the band's influence on some terrific performers, from Iggy Pop to Patti Smith. But where others hear magic and mystery in The Doors, I only hear mediocrity.

Mr. CRAWFORD. Madam Speaker, I rise in support of the bill, S. 3666, and yield myself such time as I may consume.
S. 3666 is a simple regulatory relief measure which has been proposed to modify the definition of the term ``exhibitor'' under the Federal Animal Welfare Act. It has passed the Senate by unanimous consent and, in the last hours of the 112th Congress, I urge that it likewise be passed by the House of Representatives.
The legislation would relieve private pet owners who might make a few dollars on the side with their pets but who do not derive a substantial portion of their income from such activities from the licensure requirements under the Federal Animal Welfare Act.
An example where this might be an issue is in hiring somebody to serve as an extra in a film. These are the people who appear in the background of film scenes and may work on the film set for a couple of hours at a time or a day or two at the most. If that person has their pet with them during the filming, the current interpretation of the Animal Welfare Act is that the extra would be designated an animal exhibitor under Federal law and must therefore be licensed, inspected, and comply with all the administrative and record-keeping requirements of the act. This was not what the law intended nor is the administration of such a requirement a necessary or useful allocation of scarce Federal resources.
The Federal Animal Welfare Act was intended to regulate businesses, not private citizens. There are many examples across the government of regulatory overreach. While I regret that we have not been able to address all of those in the 112th Congress, certainly this is one we can agree needs fixing and should be fixed.
I urge my colleagues to support the legislation and reserve the balance of my time.

EX gasoline station owner With inside information
SUBMITTED: Tuesday, May 07, 2013POSTED: Tuesday, May 07, 2013
Here's some information for you folks out there to pass along to your friends. What I'm about to tell you his information that no gas station would want the public to know about. When we take deliveries of gas to be delivered to the station that we own We have to make sure that there's enough room in the tank for the load that is being Delivered.
If we only have 5000 gallons of room in the tank we can only take 5000 gallons of gas in the tank If we go over that limit it sets off alarms Telling us that were putting to much product into the tank. If the tank is designed to only hold 10,000 gallons we cannot go over 90% Of that limit. We also need to keep an eye on how much water is in the tank Most all gas stations have what is called a Veeder Root.
It is a electronic measuring device that tells us how many inches of gas is in the tank at that time that we push the button to read the levels. It also tells us and not the public how many inches of water is in the tank. That information we would never reveal to the public. Think about it if your local gas station told you that there were 6 inches of water in the tank would you go to that station or one down the street?
Next time you go to your favorite gas station ask them to print off a Veeder root print out And see if they will show it to you as to how many inches of water they currently have in their tank.
When purchasing gas make sure you select a gas station that does not have concrete that's all busted up and cracked it looks very OLD. If there's busted up concrete and it rains that water can go down into the ground and rust the outside of the tank If the tank is made of steel and has been there a long time.
Make sure that you select a gas station that has not been there very long time make sure it was recently built in the last two or three years. The newer tanks are made of composite material that do not rust or sweat and accumulate measurable amounts of water in the tank.
If the gas station has been there very long time and the concretes all Bostana that's a warning sign to you to STAY AWAY From that station. I am attaching a picture of what a Veeder Root machine looks like I challenge you to see if the gas station owner will print out a copy and let you see it, That way you can see for yourself if that station has water in the tank

They echoed concerns by London MPs, who said changes to the new High Speed Rail route through the capital will still threaten homes and some commuter services.
Transport Secretary Philip Hammond has announced plans to protect property prices in some of the areas most threatened by noise and vibration, including shifting a tunnel away from some of the most pricey homes in Primrose Hill, where A-list residents include Jude Law, Jamie Oliver and Kate Moss.
The main tunnel, running from near Euston to Old Oak Common in west London, will be moved 100 metres further north as it passes Primrose Hill and dug deeper in an attempt to reduce noise.
Another change will see the line moved slightly further away from housing in Northolt, north-west London. An extra tunnel may be built, however, between Old Oak Common and the North London line near Chalk Farm, to connect the new London to Birmingham superline with the existing high speed service from St Pancras to the Channel Tunnel.
Dame Joan Bakewell, a Primrose Hill resident for 45 years, said the deeper tunnelling only went some way to allaying residents' fears about vibration, noise and damage to the foundations of their properties.
She said: "I'm inclined to think this will resolve it for me, but it might make it worse for someone else. One person's gain is another one's loss."
She added: "At the present time I can't see what saving 10 minutes on a journey to Birmingham is worth economically."
Stanley Johnson, the Mayor of London's father, said he had "real doubts" over the argument that High Speed 2 will bring economic benefits.
He added that he was more concerned about the line's impact on the outstanding areas of natural beauty in the Chilterns.Reuse content

TravelPod Member ReviewsSan Remo Hotel Larnaka
We stayed in 4 hotels in Cyprus over a 10 day period, and this was not one of the better, but the price is good.
Friendly reception staff at check in and helped with taxi booking. Room a decent size and clean. Breakfast fine. Location is ok, but not great, you can walk to the salt lake, Makenzie beach and town, but none are exactly close, so can feel like a bit of a task just to go for dinner. The buses in the area are not the best either.
Wifi is not free anywhere in this hotel which is inexcusable in this day and age. We often stay in hostels and they provide it! Internet and PCs are available but very expensive (every restaurant in town offers it free!)
Breakfast finishes at 9.30 am which doesn´t help you feel on holiday and was earlier by a whole hour compared to the other hotels we stayed in Cyprus.
The taxi reserved by hotel to take us to bus station was over 15 minutes late, so we nearly missed our bus. Not the hotels fault but something to bear in mind.
Larnaca is a reasonable place, and this hotel does for a couple of nights near the airport, but I would not want to spend a week´s holiday at this hotel nor in Larnaca for that matter! (Pafos overwhelmingly gets the holiday vote...)

That was wonderfully writen and I greatly enjoyed reading it. I like X Men and Charmed. And I feel you wrote the characters quite well, as long as you live room for artistic license by this I mean that they were not completely true to the orginial characters, which would be quite impossible unless you were the creator though this is one of the closest I've seen. You quite seamless combine the world of Charmed and X Men and in that I am truely impressed. I look forward to reading more of works.

Condition: Standard
All Product Details
A missing woman too unimportant to raise alarms . . . criminal masterminds too powerful to pursue. And when the system fails, Inspector Kari Vaara must dispense his own brand of justice.
Kari Vaara is recovering from the physical and emotional toll of solving the Lisbet Söderlund case when hes approached with a plea: an Estonian woman begs him to find her daughter, Loviise, a young woman with Down syndrome who was promised work and a better life in Finland . . . and has since disappeared.
One more missing girl is a drop in the barrel for a police department that is understaffed and overburdened, but for Kari, the case is personal: its a chance for redemption, to help the victims his failed black-ops unit was intended to save, and to prove to his estranged wife, Kate, that hes still the man he once was. His search will lead him from the glittering world of Helsinkis high-class clubs to the darkest circles of Finlands underground trade in trafficked women . . . and straight into the path of Loviises captors, who may be some of the most untouchable people in the country.
As Kari works his new case, a past one comes back to haunt him when powerful enemies return to settle unfinished business. In a dangerous game of cat-and-mouse, he is propelled toward a reckoning in which the stakes are life or death . . . and only the victors will be left standing.

"Like the books of the late Stieg Larsson, Thompsons reflect the gray cold of Nordic winters…But Thompsons books move more quickly (and violently) than Larssons."
—St. Louis Post-Dispatch
"Impossible to put down…Essential reading for all fans of...Stieg Larsson."—Booklist (starred review)
"James Thompson's prose blend of chilly Scandinavian atmosphere and dark Southern Gothic is unique and jolting, like an ice-cold straight razor slashed across sweaty flesh. In Helsinki Blood there are equal measures of violence, detection, pathos, blood . . . and finally, sweet redemption."—C.J. Box, New York Times Bestselling Author of Force of Nature and Breaking Point
"Kentucky native Thompson has created in Kari a hero as dyspeptic as Kurt Wallender and as prone to vigilante justice as Harry Hole"—Kirkus
Praise for JAMES THOMPSON:
Dont miss this one."USA Today
"A masterful job." -Michael Connelly
It is called kaamos--two weeks of unrelenting darkness and soul-numbing cold that falls upon Finnish Lapland, a hundred miles into the Arctic Circle, just before Christmas. Some get through it with the help of cheap Russian alcohol; some sink into depression.
This year, it may have driven someone mad enough to commit murder. The brutalized body of a beautiful Somali woman has been found in the snow, and Inspector Kari Vaara must find her killer. It will be a challenge in a place where ugly things lurk under frozen surfaces, and silence is a way of life.
As the new national police commissioner of Finland, Kari Vaara, along with his team Milo and Sweetness, now has the keys to the kingdom. With his vast collection of dirt, Kari purges the police ranks of the corrupt and undesirable, and he assigns the newly open job of commissioner of SUPO, Finlands secret police, to Milo. Milo goes to work with the SUPO archives, having them scanned and organized for his analysis. As he digs deeper into the immense body of records, the evidence points to alarming conclusions. Its a commonly held belief that there are no serial killers in Finland. Milo is about to prove that theory to be disturbingly wrong.
Meanwhile, Kari is called to the scene of a bizarre and gruesome murder. A man is found hanging upside down from his left foot, his right leg bent at the knee and tied to the left. His hands are tied behind his back. There is no forensic evidence in the house. And the only clues at the crime scene include an odd assortment of goods: robes, a wand, a dull dagger, and a deck of tarot cards . . .

A good range of options
35/1-4 Soi Ngam Duphli, Bangkok T: (02) 679 7777,
(02) 286 3460
Bangkok is so big, we've split it up into areas, select one of the below for detailed accommodation and food listings in that area. Sights and general overviews for Bangkok as a whole can be found via the icons above. Don't know where to start? Read an overview of Bangkok's different areas.
S1 Hostel's bright yellow-and-grey frontage is hard to miss in the old backpacker hood around Soi Ngam Duphli. Converted from an old guesthouse and opened after extensive renovations in 2013, S1 is a flashy, modern and comfortable choice for those who aren't particularly looking for an in-house social scene.
Check rates at S1 Hostel on Agoda.com
Bright yellow might sound cheesy or tacky, but the hostel pulls off a rather sleek industrial design by contrasting the blazing fluorescence with dark greys, polished concrete, high ceilings, lots of natural light, contemporary art and Thai antiques that somehow fit into the decorative mix. On our most recent visit, an enthusiastic young receptionist patiently showed us four out of the six different room types.
A spacious ground-floor common area features a TV and long cushioned bench to go with a free computer station, a kitchenette, local maps and a book exchange. We especially dig the massive wooden table placed up front next to an equally wide window. The stairwell to guest rooms, laundry facilities and a rooftop terrace are all reachable by key-card only. The whole building is air-conditioned and WiFi is free.
In a corner of the upper floor, six-bed mixed and women-only dorms aren't exactly cosy, but they are spacious and clean. While mattresses are firm and bunks lack privacy curtains, each comes with private reading lamp, electrical outlet and locker. Shared hot-water bathrooms are attached to each dorm room — a convenient feature that ensures you won't need to wander down a dark hallway in your jammies.
Private rooms are divided into two classes: renovated and basic. All come with air-con and fridge, and all but the cheapest bag you a TV. The basic, non-renovated versions come with white-tile floors, blank walls and notably firm beds — reasonable value but a definite step down from the similarly priced rooms at nearby Penguin House. An extra two or three hundred baht lifts you to a renovated room with newer appliances and an industrial-chic design. Bathrooms are on the small side, with sinks situated out within sight of the beds in some rooms.
All rooms are accessed only by stairs, so ask for one on a lower floor if you're not up for playing StairMaster. Some rooms, including a few of the cheaper varieties, are also equipped with attached mini-balconies. S1 is located at the corner of Soi Ngam Duphli and Sathorn Soi 1 (hence the hostel's name), two narrow roads that get their share of traffic. Ask for a room towards the back of this deceptively large building if you're a light sleeper.
Though you might meet other travellers on the rooftop or in the downstairs lounge, S1 has more of a "keep-to-yourself" vibe. In fact, it always appears to be empty whenever we stop by. Considering how it offers a good mix of rooms and common facilities along with a generally helpful staff, we have trouble figuring out why that is.
As for location, well, it's Soi Ngam Duphli. This narrow side street tucked between Rama IV and Sathorn roads once rivalled Khao San Road for the title of Bangkok's go-to backpacker district. It's now a rather tired stretch of old flophouses, bars and hotels, though the location is fairly convenient to Lumpini MRT station, Lumpini Park and the greater Silom area.
Check out Lee Travel Inn or Madam Guesthouse for a cheaper private room in this neck of the city. If you're specifically looking for a dorm, you might want to check out other options in the Silom area, like Saphai Pae, Lub d, Cooper, Mile Map, HQ and The Cube.

Full-time score from The Valley
Second-half goals from Jermaine Easter and Shane Lowry secured three huge points as Millwall earned the bragging rights following this lunchtime derby date with Charlton Athletic.
Easter, signed on loan from Crystal Palace just 48 hours earlier, made a sensational impact scoring with his very first touch after coming on as a 58th-minute sub for Dany N'Guessan.
Defender Lowry doubled The Lions' tally six minutes later with a stunning 30-yard free-kick that left home keeper David Button grasping at thin air to secure victory.
What had started as a big week for Kenny Jackett's side last Sunday against Blackburn has turned into one of the most fruitful too, with three games and as many clean sheets setting up an FA Cup Semi-Final spot and now, of equal importance, a big Championship win.
"The first goal was always going to be crucial taking into account the condition of the pitch," beamed Jackett, "And nice for Jermaine Easter to score with his first touch too.
There was fantastic confidence from Shane Lowry to take the free-kick for our second. It's one thing doing it on the training ground but a different matter in front of a big crowd.
It was a fabulous freekick - he made it count.
This has been a very good week for us overall and the confidence we have gained will help very much over the coming weeks.
We started the morning five points off the bottom and we needed to get going."
And get going they certainly did as Jackett masterminded another tactical masterpiece.
The manager was forced to make two changes to the team that beat Blackburn in midweek with Karleigh Osborne replacing the suspended Mark Beevers and new loan signing Richard Chaplow handed his debut in place of Andy Keogh.
The first-half of this derby proved to be a fairly uneventful affair, despite the attempts of the travelling fans to stir a Lions team facing their third game in six days.
A sticky, heavy pitch was not conducive to free-flowing football, and with neither team really able to get any attacking rhythm going,there was little goalmouth action of note.
Lions keeper David Forde was called into action after three minutes when he saved at the second attempt, after initially spilling a stinger from Bradley Pritchard.
Rob Hulse, who played for Charlton against Millwall whilst on loan earlier this season, produced a smart turn and cross to pick out Liam Trotter shortly after, but the latter's snap shot flashed a couple of yards wide.
Millwall were forced to reshuffle their defensive pack on the quarter hour when Osborne hobbled off clutching his hamstring and was replaced by Adam Smith.
Lowry moved across to partner Danny Shittu in the heart of defence with Smith slotting in at left-back.
A flying save by Forde tipped Callum Harriott's long range drive behind for a corner who seconds before had raced out to clear at the feet of Danny Haynes as the home side temporarily woke from their slumber.
However it was Millwall who created the best chance of the half just before the break when Chris Taylor nodded an N'Guessan cross into the path of Adam Smith, but he drilled agonisingly wide.
The second-half certainly started with Charlton posing more of a threat and it took a fantastic interception by Shittu to avert the danger when Haynes looked to be racing through.
Some trickery by Harriott forced a foul out of Alan Dunne on the edge of the box but to the relief of the Lions camp, Yann Kermorgant's resulting free-kick dropped a whisker wide of the target.
Jackett made his first change on 58 minutes and within eight seconds of Easter entering the fray, the super sub struck the crucial opening goal. Fellow loanee Chaplow slipped a neat ball through to the striker and Easter did the rest, calmly slotting under the body of Button to send the away fans wild.
You could sense the relief in the team and with the confidence flooding back, Millwall sensed that this game was theirs for the taking.
None more so than Lowry who took a 10 yard run up before hitting an unstoppable 30-yard freekick that gave Button no chance.
Charlton tried desperately to work their way back into the game and did create one half-chance in the 80th-minute when Chris Solly's low centre was saved by Forde, but there was little else for the home fans to get excited about as their team simply ran out of ideas and The Lions comfortably saw out the remainder of the match to secure a thoroughly deserved win.

Iginla ready to break the bank
Each goal Calgary Flames right wing Jarome Iginla scores
for the remainder of this season is almost the equivalent of a direct deposit
into his bank account.
Imagine how lucky Flames general manager Craig Button must
feel to be negotiating an important contract with a 24-year-old player at the
same time he appears to be bashing through the barrier to superstardom.
When Iginla registered two goals and one assist for Canada
in the championship game at the Olympics, he didn't just win a gold medal. He
essentially transformed himself into a gold mine of earning potential. He's
a mother lode of talent.
Fans in Calgary probably don't know whether to cheer or
cry because they have seen other premium players traded away for salary reasons,
namely Theo Fleury and even Joe Nieuwendyk, whose trade to Dallas brought Iginla
to Calgary.
But there's no need to worry because this is going to work
out with Iginla and the Flames both happy with the deal. Trust me on this one.
The two sides have just started negotiating and no real
numbers have yet been thrown around, and Button doesn't know it yet but he's
eventually going to pay Iginla more than $6 million per season. And he's going
to be happy to do it.
The reason why Button will eventually do this is he truly
believes he can build a Stanley Cup winner in Calgary. You can hear it in his
voice, and you can see it in his actions.
Remember last summer Button took a serious swing at acquiring
Michael Peca, who eventually signed for $4 million a season. Theoretically,
that was one small market trying to land a higher-priced player from another
small market. He also paid above market value ($2.1 million) to get Bob Boughner
to Calgary as an unrestricted free agent.
Button doesn't consider Calgary a small-market franchise.
He won't even entertain any discussions about Calgary's small-market viability.
He doesn't want that as a crutch.
That's why Button eventually will make Iginla happy. Button
is a smart man who isn't going to be philanthropic during contract negotiations,
but you have the sense that he will generously pay those who need to be generously
paid. He knows Iginla's value.
In looking at comparables in terms of age and accomplishment,
Button probably wants to pay Iginla Markus Naslund money (an average of $4.5
million to $5 million a year) but eventually the deal will be negotiated around
Jason Allison money (an average of $6.6 million).
If Iginla wins the scoring title and places high in MVP
balloting, the asking price probably will be at $7 million.
Iginla is only 24, and he's too young to be at that salary
level. Guys who are at that level are older and more established as premium
players. But a scoring title puts him beyond Allison, and Iginla is Calgary's
franchise player.
Eventually these two parties will probably talk in the
range of $18 million for three years. Seems logical that a deal will be in that
vicinity. Hey what's half a mil among friends, or two parties who really want
to be joined together? Iginla is from Alberta and wants to stay there.
Iginla doesn't have much leverage because recent history
shows that NHL teams simply aren't going to give offer sheets to restricted
free agents. He can only withhold his services next fall.
But Button is going to get this done.
If you think the Flames can't afford this, think of this
way: Iginla makes $1.7 million this season, or $1.9 million with bonuses. To
get him above $6 million, the Flames need to find an additional $4 million plus.
Soon-to-be free agent Igor Kravchuk is making $2.25 million,
and the Flames are strong enough defensively that they don't need him anymore.
Backup goaltender Mike Vernon is making $2.75 million and in this day and age
teams are more inclined to have backups making $400,000. They will find their
own version of Corey Schwab next season and everyone in Calgary will sleep better
knowing that Iginla is going to be around a while.
This decision will eventually boil down to dollars and
sense, not dollars and cents. It just will make sense for Button to send a message
to fans that this team has enough money to compete for a championship. It seems
as if Button continues to want to send that message.
Dump and chase: Word is that the Pittsburgh Penguins
are at least considering keeping Darius Kasparaitis and appealing to an arbitrator
that he is doesn't qualify to be an unrestricted free agent. Essentially, here's
the story: On Aug. 15, 2001, the Penguins and Kasparaitis went to an arbitrator
to settle a contract dispute. The Penguins requested a two-year award.
Before the hearing got under way, the NHL Players Association
attorney asked the arbitrator to grant Pittsburgh's request for a two-year award
with yearly salaries of $1.15 million and $1.25 million. The reason why Kasparaitis
was willing to accept that award is that he would be a 10-year veteran making
under the league average (around $1.5 million). According to a section of the
collective bargaining agreement, "if the player has attained or is within a
year of obtaining the experience level required for Group 5 (unrestricted free
agent) player status and the club has elected a two-year contract, the player
may at the end of the first year elect to void the second year of the contract
if the player's salary for the first year of the contract is less than the average
league salary for year. And upon of making such election, such player shall
become a Group 5 player and be entitled to the rights set out in section 10.1b."
(That says if you have 10 years in league but less than the average salary,
you become unrestricted.)
That seems rather clear, but the belief is that the Penguins
will claim that this really wasn't an arbitration result because Kasparaitis
essentially agreed to a two-year deal by accepting their offer before an arbitrator
heard the case. But working against the Penguins is the fact that this was issued
as an arbitration award, and the written words of arbitrator Gil Vernon was
"upon commencement of the hearing (attorney Bernie) Neuner requested that the
arbitrator enter an award consistent with the club's offer."
The written form also lists the salaries as an arbitration
award. Will the Penguins really challenge this? Most rivals think if the offers
are good enough, they will trade Kasparaitis.
Lot of talk about the New York Islanders moving boldly
at the trade deadline, but the reality is that they aren't going to trade away
younger players for a short-term fix. They simply aren't close enough to winning
a Stanley Cup.
They would like to add a No. 4 defenseman (Kenny Jonsson,
Adrian Aucoin and Roman Hamrlik are playing about 30 minutes a game). Probable
target: Tampa Bay defenseman Pavel Kubina. A player the Islanders would move:
Mariusz Czerkawski.

This is an extra special BogOff sent in by BSS reader Sam McCallum, thanks Sam!
It's special partly because it's the most distant BogOff from the UK, even further away than the previous holder of that title from Hobart, Tasmania.
The other reason this BogOff is special is because the public toilets at KawaKawa in New Zealand are world famous, designed and constructed by the Austrian artist Hundertwasser.
Sam made sure to point out that the lack of mirror in the accessible toilet was not an oversight, none of the toilets have mirrors-true equality! This may not be the best BogOff for access, but it is definitely the most beautiful and interesting. I particularly like Hudertwasser's philosophy that straight lines are evil and the toilet only contains crooked beauty.

Glad you liked the photo's mate! I knew the artist made sure there were no edges in the toilet, all curved, but I didn't know that's why, what a fabulous line, crooked beauty!
Ooohhhh and glad of the title I've received as well! I don't think anyone can beat that one, the most furtherest away! (and most beautiful so far!)

Here Is My Heart Fudge
Happy Healthy Holidays!
Tastefully rich fudge staring white chocolate, Dutch processed cocoa and candied red cherries along with marshmallow creme and extracts of almond and vanilla.
Recipe Ingredients
1-2/3 cups (10-ounce package) white chocolate chips, divided
1 cup candied red cherries, quartered
Few drops red food color (optional)
1-1/2 cups (12-ounce can) evaporated milk
1/2 cup Dutch processed cocoa
1/4 cup butter or margarine
1 teaspoon almond extract
1 jar (7 ounce) marshmallow creme
4-1/2 cups sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter or margarine, melted
Recipe Directions
Line 13 x 9 x 2-inch pan with foil.
Place 1-cup white chips and almond extract in medium bowl. In second medium bowl, stir together cocoa, melted butter and vanilla extract until mixture is smooth; add remaining 2/3-cup white chips (chips do not need to melt).
Combine sugar, marshmallow creme, evaporated milk and 1/4 cup butter in heavy 4-quart saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture comes to full rolling boil (bubbles can't be stirred down); continue boiling and stirring 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Immediately add half of hot mixture to bowl with white chips only. Pour remainder into cocoa mixture; stir to blend.
Beat white chip mixture until chips are completely melted; stir in red food color, if desired, and cherries. Spread evenly in prepared pan. Beat cocoa mixture until chips are melted and mixture thickens slightly. Spread evenly over top of white layer. Cover; refrigerate until firm. Remove from pan; peel off foil. Cut with heart-shaped cookie cutters or cut into squares. Cover; store in refrigerator.
Recipe Note
*You can use regular baking cocoa as well, but Dutch is recommended as it has a much better chocolate taste.

I've been wearing the WOMEN'S OLOWAHU (not sure what past models were called) and have never had the issue of them leaving marks on the floor. I recently purchased the PANA STELLAR and I'm constantly wiping shoe marks off the vinyl flooring. My other 3 pair of Teva's do not do this. It's a real pain. I'm still a Teva fan but I'd love to know if anyone else has this issue.
I return to these slaps when my old ones wear out because I use them for hiking--they are the ONLY flip flops I could use for this purpose. So thanks for that. However, the sole is a bit too squishy and can tear on tougher terrain. Plus, this squishiness leave black on my heels, no matter how short a walk it seems, which is a full bummer. I had a similar pair of "river" sandals by another company (now no longer locatable) whose foot bed was smooth and less porous and did not leave a residue. I ... wore those all the way into holes, but loved them the best. Maybe you could modify like that? Thanks! Been wearing Teva since the mid '80s!
This is the first time I have ordered the free sail clog. I have worn the classic clogs for years and loved them. Although the freesail's footprint is smaller, they are just as comfortable. I just ordered another pair. Crocs have been a "blessing" for my feet. Thank you so much.
I love the slim fit, and no strap! It supports my arches a little better than the standard clog, and looks more natural in its fit. It's great with or without socks. I've worn them everyday for a week and my feet haven't gotten tired or sore,
I have wide feet and high arches. This is my second pair of Skechers and I'm now a convert. Between the gym and my job, I'm on my feet a lot. Skechers are so light weight and comfortable! I love them! I do wish more styles came in wide width.
I'M on my feet for nine hours per day, I have the white and it works perfect for me in a hospital. Planning on getting another pair.
I wear these shows everyday they are still in great shape. The shoe is comfy and fits like a glove. Not the best for wet weather but can withstand being left out in the rain. Perfect for any occasion, dances, going out with friends etc.
Wear sketchers solely for comfort Best Friends is my favorite charity and will probably purchase another pair for that reason. But insole is not as thick and soles are slippery.
I bought them for walking while in florida, needed arch support, flip flops just don't cut it anymore. They were great for this. I might have narrow feet but I had to tighten the straps near the toe so it kind of overlapped on the end and was not wild about the look and it chafed a bit, nothing to cause a blister or anything. I think they are cute and not therapeutic looking or manly looking and this color goes with allot.
I bought these because I had tan pair and found them to be super comfortable.
These were to be my favorite go-to sandal. They have great arch support and the upper material is soft and breathes well. Unfortunately, after wearing these for a few hours, (like another reviewer wrote), the soles of my feet become raw and very painful. There are tiny raised ridges in the sole of the sandals and the constant rubbing does create a lot of pain. These are not the sandals I can "live in" as I had hoped. I can wear them for short periods of time without issue. I think they're really ... cute on. Disappointing though.
Love my shoes. Just wish they fit to true size. Still love them though
I really love my Tevas, but I don't like that the shoes' soles have small, shallow holes in them. These seem to serve no purpose other than collecting dirt and making my feet smell less than ideal.
I was very pleased with the teva sandals I read that they were a little on the larger size I wear a 7/12 so I ordered a 7 They were perfect
I love these shoes - they are so comfortable. The memory foam insoles are a dream to walk on. Breaking them in involved putting them on. That's it! They are a color that goes with almost anything and the styling is cute and whimsical which is perfect because I'm cute and whimsical. I would highly recommend these shoes to anyone with feet. Also they look exactly like the picture.
The shoes are very cute, sturdy and comfortable. Wish they came in other colors as well.
My boyfriend bought me these shoes, and I love them. They are very comfortable and go with everything! :)
I bought my shoes for my birthday and they are amazing I can't stop wearing them!
Bought item for my niece ordered size down based on other sites stating item ran big, unfortunately had to return them due to them being too small, I would order your actual size or 1/2 size up as they are pretty narrow, other than that it was a very pleasant transaction & shoes were cute!
just bought my first pair. extremely comfortable.I weigh 124 lb and have high arch and bad back and these give me enough support . the only down fall is that the hills are wearing off because it is made of a spongy material and not long lasting.but I didn't pay full price and that makes it ok. very stylish shoes.great to wear with dresses and pants. True to size.
I bought my first pair of Skechers about a year ago. Since then, I have bought 6 more pairs! They are the most comfortable shoes.
Bought this shoe during winter and the fit was comfortable first time I wore them. I like the side zipper for ease in putting on. Good product for the $.
These are the most comfortable boots I've ever owned for all day wear.
The shoe was recommended by my podiatrist after I recovered from a broken fifth metatarsal and was able to quit wearing the medical boot. She said the shoe has the proper support for me to begin walking again. The shoe is very comfortable.
I have a small foot (size 5) and stores normally do not have that size in stock. I ordered the shoe size 5 after trying on a larger size at the store. It arrived within days and fits fine. I was able to get a shoe that properly fits instead of choosing one that is larger and adding inserts.
Bought the Stingray Converse. Absolutely love them. They delivered on time. Great service! Will do business with them online again soon!
I've love these flip flops so much I ordered 2 pair. I bought the same ones 2years ago and almost cried because I could not find them in stores or online. So I asked the cashier one day can they order and woohoo, they were at my house in 3 days!! So very happy! Thank you for helping me, GG
Have told all my girlfriends about these cool flipflops!
I got them for a trip to Cancun, had to wear them to get in the water cause of stones. Great quality, l though they were going to fall apart. Dry very quick. Still look like new.
I already had a pair of these but without the tooled leather on top, and I have almost worn them out. They are so cute and comfortable and go with just about anything. Another summer staple.
I normally wear an 8 1/2 shoe .... I ordered these in a 9 .... they are too small so I recommend ordering a size larger than you normally wear .....
the lady that helped us was very knowable and worked hard with us to get the shoes also we are very grateful and they are very very comfy on my feet
I wanted to get new cheer shoes for a new cheer season and I had been looking at the Titans for a few months now. I decided that I was going to get them and they are great! I wasn't too sure how they were going to feel but they are easy to tumble in. There are no problems with pointing your toes and they are not heavy at all.

Muslim Brotherhood entered Europe in the 1950s, driven in part by the crackdown in Egypt by its secular government.
Among the first Muslim Brotherhood members to arrive in Europe was a group led by Sa'id Ramadan, the son-in-law of Hassan al-Banna, the founder of Muslim Brotherhood who had been killed by the Egyptian government. Financed by Saudi Arabia, Sa'id Ramadan's group established beachheads in Geneva, Switzerland and Munich, Germany, where a network of Muslim Brotherhood organizations and mosques soon surfaced.
Starting in the 1960s, the Muslim Brotherhood spread across Europe, spearheaded, as in America, by Muslim student groups that spawned other groups as its members graduated and entered society. Prominent examples include the following:
• Forum for European Muslim Youth and Student Organizations (FEMYSO) is an umbrella group that represents 42 national and international Islamic student and youth organizations in 26 European countries; it is based in Brussels, the seat of European Parliament, which it lobbies.
• Federation of Islamic Organizations in Europe (FIOE) is an umbrella group with chapters in 22 European countries; it is based in Leicestershire, UK but fields a large office in Brussels, Belgium to also lobby the European Parliament.
• Union of Islamic Organizations in France (Union des Organisations Islamiques de France (UOIF) has over 200 member organizations and owns or directs over 250 mosques in France; UOIF is a member of FIOE.
• Germany's Central Council of Muslims in Germany (Zentralrat der Muslime in Deutschland - ZMD), Islamic Society of Germany (Islamische Gemeinschaft Deutschland - IGD), and Milli Görüş (Islamische Gemeinschaft Milli Görüş).
• Italy's Union of the Islamic Communities and Organizations in Italy (Unione delle Comunita' ed Organizzazioni Islamiche in Italia).
In recent years, Muslims flooding into Europe as refugees of the war in Syria have significantly boosted Muslim Brotherhood organizations across Europe and spawned new chapters, including in Sweden and the Czech Republic.
To avoid the tightening surveillance of the UK government, Muslim Brotherhood moved its European headquarters from London to Graz, Austria, in 2014.

I strolled around the table, glancing at all of the unreadable faces watching me.
"I'm afraid there's something I've been keeping from the Council."
I looked at Athena and she nodded, as if to reassure me.
"I was made aware that there was an information leak among us. The matter was investigated thoroughly."
"A mole? In the Council?" Dionysus asked, his eyes shifting colours.
"Yes." I replied, "And tonight, I have been informed of their identity."
I continued walking around the table, aware of how the Council members stiffened as I passed them.
"You see," I continued, "The plans for the Eunoe were bait. You were all placed under constant surveillance by demons. One of you was found sending a letter via an unauthorized demon to Purgatory's closest scouting regiment."
I stopped by my seat, and put on a mock smile.
"Would the mole like to confess, or should I dishonour them for eternity myself?"
The table was stunned into silence.
I sighed, and slammed my fist into the table.
"I put my trust in each and every one of you. I considered you my friends, my family." I said in a low voice, my hands burning with black fire, "And this is what I get in return?"
After a few moments of more silence I exploded.
"Enough of this charade!" I hissed, "Explain yourself, Eversio!"
He finally looked up at me, but his golden eyes were cold.
In a blur of movement he had jumped out of his seat, knocking over his chair, and burst out of the tent.
I didn't have to say anything. In a split-second everyone was in hot pursuit.
It was dark outside and the cold night air hit me as I ran after him, keeping my eyes glued to the blonde head of hair.
"You can't run from this, Eversio!" I yelled after him, my legs pumping against the soggy ground, "Face it!"
I heard the flapping of wings and felt a gust of wind as Cupid flew overhead, closing the distance between us and our quarry.
I saw him tackle Eversio to the ground, and they were quickly locked in a fistfight.
I heard something crunch and saw Eversio's nose bleeding profusely as another blow crashed into his skull.
"Cupid, take it easy!" I yelled, "Just restrain him!"
Cupid turned to me for a split-second and it was long enough for Eversio to smash Cupid's head against his knee.
As the god crumpled, Eversio looked at me with wild eyes, as if his flight-or-flight instincts had become irreparably confused.
"Eversio, just give it up." I pleaded, "I don't want to fight you."
That seemed to jolt his consciousness back to him.
"Why not? I'm a traitor." He spat, "I've been ruining everything for you since this war started!"
"Why did you do it?!" I shot back, "Wasn't it enough being a prince on the winning side?"
"No! It wasn't enough! You know why? Because I was never enough! For that...bastard." he seethed, his eyes darting towards Lucifer, who was about thirty yards from us.
"So your daddy issues are enough of a reason to endanger your realm?" I asked incredulously, "Grow up, Eversio."
"I'd been warning him about Purgatory for months. He didn't so much as look at me. And then he made you Commander...Purgatory listened. Purgatory took me seriously. And when we win the war, the throne is mine!"
"You can't possibly believe what they told you!" I scoffed, "You're the means to an end. You don't mean anything to them."
"And you..." he continued, his face contorting, "If it wasn't for you, we would have already won. This is all your fault!"
His eyes became red and he lunged at me, enraged.
The force of his attack took me off guard and his hands closed around my throat.
"You've done enough damage." He hissed, "I'm going to enjoy eating your soul, Commander."
I felt his nails digging into my skin, and was momentarily paralyzed with fear.
That is, until energy surged into me and he was thrown back by an invisible force.
There was the sound of rapidly-approaching footfalls.
"Sorry, m'boy, but this soul's mine." Lucifer declared, before promptly grabbing Eversio's collar and punching him. Hard.
"Father...dear..." Eversio spat out between punches, "I'm...thrilled...to...see...you...one...last...time."
"Shut up, you little brat." Lucifer hissed through gritted teeth, "I should have expected you'd be as pathetic as Sister Myrtle – "
Eversio spat blood in his face.
"Don't say her name, you piece of crap!"
He was punched again.
"She let me into her room, Eversio. She took off her cross. And you know what she did afterwards? She cried."
"Shut up!" Eversio roared, getting himself punched yet again.
"She had to leave the convent, thanks to you." Lucifer continued, "And after you were born, she shot herself in a church. I took you home, Eversio. I made you a prince!"
Eversio didn't reply. He looked like he had passed out, his bloody face limp.
Lucifer let him drop to the ground, disgusted. He turned to me, likely on the verge of saying something.
And then his face contorted into a mixture of pain and shock, and I looked down with him to see the blade protruding from his knee.
Eversio had propped himself on one arm, still holding the sword with the other.
I ran forward and held Lucifer as he fell, helping him to the ground.
When I looked up, Eversio had vanished.
I barely had time to think before I was caught hard across my jaw with an invisible hook.
I could hear Eversio laughing.
"Don't look so confused, Commander," he chuckled, before an invisible shove made me stumble to the ground, "Shadow-walking, remember?"
I felt the world lurch as an invisible booted foot smashed into my temple.
"Show yourself!" I yelled, "Don't you have any self-respect?"
Another kick was aimed at my ribs.
"Not in the least. This way, I get to kill you both slowly."
I gasped as I felt an invisible blade slicing open my cheek.
"What's wrong with you?" I asked angrily, "I trusted you! Manara trusted you!"
I heard him sigh.
"She was so...conformist. When you talked about 'changing things' I thought you might be different...but here we are."
"I am different!" I shot back, "And I thought you were too!"
"It's too bad you got caught up in this." He admitted, "You weren't as blatantly stupid as everyone else. But you're right – I am different. And to prove it to you, I'll spare you."
I started to try to get up but a foot pushed me back down.
"On one condition." He continued, "Tell me everything about the Eunoe."
I felt a blade against my neck.

Redmond grocery break-in suspect caught in store
Found hiding after alarm, held at gunpoint
REDMOND, Ore. - A burglar alarm early Sunday morning brought Redmond police to the Grocery Outlet, where they arrested at gunpoint a transient found hiding inside the store, officers said.
