2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited EcoDiesel Review: Jeep Perfection with Incredible MPGs
The Jeep Grand Cherokee is the bestselling and most awarded sport utility vehicle in the history of the segment so when the Trail Rated brand makes a big move – the industry takes notice. The 2014 Grand Cherokee features the new EcoDiesel powerplant that allows Jeep owners to haul and tow comparable amounts to the 5.7L Hemi while offering nearly 30 miles per gallon. The current Grand Cherokee is a great SUV; adding a 3.0L diesel engine that allows you to tow 7,200 pounds while offering 28 miles per gallon on the highway (not while towing) makes it one of the best SUVs today…if not the best.
My 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee test vehicle was a 4x4 model with the Limited trimline and the 3.0L EcoDiesel engine mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission. The Luxury Group II added $3,000, the Off Road Adventure II package added $1,795, the premium infotainment system added $400 and when added up with the $995 destination and base price, my test vehicle carried a sticker price of $48,785.
The Exterior
The 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4x4 Limited package wears just enough chrome/silver trim around the outside to look like it isn't a base model. It doesn't look like an overly blinged out luxury model, but features like the 18 inch split spoke wheels and the silver accents found around the lower fascia opening, around the distinct 7 slot Jeep grille, on the mirrors and on the door handles give this Grand Cherokee a far more upscale look compared to the lower priced models. Of course, the 2014 Grand Cherokee has all of the same great looks that make this the bestselling big SUV in the world. This is the Jeep which best displays the iconic look that the Trail Rated brand has become known for and when fitted with the Limited package – it's a sharp looking large SUV.
The EcoDiesel package doesn't add anything special, but it does have a nice looking set of badges to show off that it is a fuel friendly vehicle.
The Interior
The Limited level trimline is technically midrange for the 2014 Grand Cherokee, but thanks to the addition of the Luxury Group II Preferred Equipment Package, it is impossible to tell by looking around inside. Leather seats, leather door pads and a leather center console armrest cover all in black with white stitching give this cabin a very high end look and feel with help from the minimal chrome trim scattered throughout. The front seats are nicely padded with deepish side bolsters that are comfortable for folks of all shapes and sizes while the power seat controls allow enough adjustment to make it easy for both very tall and very small drivers to safely operate the Grand Cherokee. Regardless of your size (unless you are a giant like Shaq or something), anyone sitting up front should find there to be ample seating space in every direction.

I'm not an Adams hater, but he'll be 36 in April. Just for age/injuries concerns, I think there's no way the team should keep both of these aging role players.
I think you are overlooking the fact that Adams also sucks at playing hockey, 5v5, or just shooting the puck off the ice. He is great at letting things hit him though....If you need someone to take a puck in the shin or 5 fist punches to the face, he's your man. His advanced stats are as horrible as his fighting. His salary and ice time should go to someone else (hopefully not named Tanner Glass). Call me a hater.

A jury at the High Court in Edinburgh took six and a half hours to convict James Bain, 22, Richard Cosgrove, 21, and Bernard Young, 19, of shooting and killing Alexander McKinnon, 32, on Saturday April 22 this year.
They were also found guilty of attempting to murder his brother-in-law, 27-year-old James Hendry, in the attack at the Marmion bar in the Gracemount area of Edinburgh.
The double shooting was branded "cold-blooded murder and attempted murder" by those prosecuting the case. Bain and Cosgrove donned identical black hooded tops and silver masks before entering the busy bar shortly before closing time.
Bain pulled the trigger while his accomplice - dubbed an "active participant" by the Crown - added to the terror of the whole scene. The gunshots caused frightened pub-goers, who had been enjoying a quiet drink on a regular Saturday night, to scream and run for cover as the panic spread.
In the chaos, Mr McKinnon, a former Scottish bantamweight boxing champion, lay unconscious near the bar in his blood-soaked shirt. His brother-in-law, Mr Hendry, had been floored by a shot to his chest and was left fighting for his life.
Mr Hendry, a married father of three, survived the shooting and gave evidence at the trial. Moments after the attack, Mr McKinnon's wife arrived at the pub, expecting to join her brother and husband of 12 years for a night out.
Instead, the mother of two, from Gilmerton, Edinburgh, found them being rushed away in an ambulance. By the Sunday morning, Mr McKinnon had died and his widow identified his body at a mortuary.
The court heard he had such massive damage to his heart that he could never have survived the close-range attack.
Police launched a major inquiry after the shooting. More than 40 detectives were called in to investigate the killing, and as many as 80 uniformed officers were put on duty in the area to reassure residents.
At the trial, the three consistently denied guilt. But DNA samples linked Bain to the scene. Witnesses told the trial an agitated Bain's mood changed earlier that Saturday night after he took a telephone call, and he demanded that Cosgrove go with him out of the flat where they had been socialising.
The motive for the crime may have stemmed from an earlier fight between Bain and his on-off girlfriend, Dionne Hendry, 24, who was related to the wounded man. The trial heard how Cosgrove later returned on his own, white and shaking.
Elsewhere, at around the same time, Bain was left dangerously ill and unconscious after an attempt was made on his life. He ended up in hospital with serious wounds to his head and face after being found in the Gilmerton Dykes area.
He claimed he was left with no memory of events that day. Cosgrove claimed he was forced at gunpoint to accompany Bain to the pub and was fearful for his life. But jurors today found that he too was guilty of the murder.
And in returning a third guilty verdict, they also backed the Crown's assertion that Young was an accessory to the crime.
All three accused had denied taking part in the killing, but the jury of six men and nine women found them guilty of murder and attempted murder by unanimous verdicts.
The three were also convicted of possessing a sawn-off shotgun, contrary to the Firearms Act. Bain was further found guilty of assaulting his on-off girlfriend, Miss Hendry, on the same day.
The verdicts were met with applause and shouts of "yes", "scum" and "murdering bastards". In an unusual move, Judge Lord Uist halted the court proceedings immediately after the verdicts were delivered, after supporters on all sides left the court.
Shouts could be heard outside the building and police gathered to control the crowds.

Future may be about smart watches and key rings: UI guru Hampus Jakobsson

How will we change the way we interact with smartphones? As Apple popularised touchscreens in 2007, the mobile world has harmonised around a circa 4-inch mobile phone with few buttons. Before the iPhone and the first few years after it, designers in the industry were discussing hidden buttons, haptics [sense of touch], keyboards, add-on keyboards to improve the input functionality. But nothing really happened. Instead, Apple revolutionised the phone by focusing on ease of use instead of features.
The hope now stands at making devices 'intelligent'. By allowing us to talk to them. Or having them 'understand' us. This is futile. Speech to text might work for dictation, but still I need to get the phone out of my pocket and wouldn't want it to inform me of things when other people are near.
What will happen in the coming two years then? Will Google Glass let us walk around with an augmented world where you are one word from Googling people you meet? Will we get flexible screens that fold out and give us full-sized keyboards or newspaper-sized screens? I doubt it will be mainstream. I think it will be too much information as well as, honestly, too little interesting information. If you could get text in front of your eyes at any time, what would it say? It can't be static or things you need to interact with, with a lot of information (like your email), as the glasses won't have a very rich input. It needs to be information highlighting your surroundings-but what would that be that wouldn't be spammy? Discount on stores around you or names of people floating on top of their head sounds distracting. There are 'use cases' [examples of how people will use them], like visual manuals for auto repair men, the route you should walk to get to the right gate, but these are still niche.
I think the coming two years will be the years of accessories. The innovation will happen in watches, wristbands, dongles and key rings. These will extend the physical input interface to our Tamagotchis [handheld digital pets] and life controls. And phones will further spill out on existing screens-your computer, TV, and maybe in the coming future, public screens. Administration, analysis and overview is still best done 'lean-forward' at your computer and enjoying movies, pictures, or music is still done 'lean-backward' in front of your TV. Technology changes fast, but human behaviour has a slow pace.
What is needed is a philosophy that helps us turn on the real world. Be more in the 'now'. Devices should tell us if there is something important, really important, to attend to. Not just a Facebook post, a tweet, a news article to read, or an email to reply. Our grandparents' generation fled the assembly line so that we now can create a digital one for ourselves. We take care of these self-created chores, hoping to be free at the end of the day. The best use I see of Google Glass is that it should remove information around me-logos, text and advertisement-so I can focus. I guess that's not in Google's interest.
The question we should ask ourselves is: Free to do what? Why aren't you doing that now? What are you afraid to miss by not looking at your phone or, god forbid, turning it to mute? Try it for a week and see what happens.

Remelluri La Granja Rioja Gran Reserva 1999
Tempranillo from Rioja, Spain
Winemaker's Notes
The monumental 1999 Remelluri La Granja Gran Reserva is a testament to what can be achieved in Rioja. Made up of a blend of 86% Tempranillo, 12% Garnacha, and 2% Graciano, it was fermented with native yeasts and aged for 27 months in French and American oak. Beautifully expressive aromatically, it gives up exotic spices, lavender, incense, a hint of balsamic, black cherry, and blackberry. In the glass it deftly combines elegance and power while concealing enough structure to endure for at least another 10-15 years.
Blend: 86% Tempranillo, 12% Grenache, 2% Graciano
Critical Acclaim
The Wine Advocate - "The monumental 1999 Remelluri La Granja Gran Reserva is a testament to what can be achieved in Rioja. Made up of a blend of 86% Tempranillo, 12% Garnacha, and 2% Graciano, it was fermented with native yeasts and aged for 27 months in French and American oak. Beautifully expressive aromatically, it gives up exotic spices, lavender, incense, a hint of balsamic, black cherry, and blackberry. In the glass it deftly combines elegance and power while concealing enough structure to endure for at least another 10-15 years. At the asking price, it is a steal in world class wine."
Remelluri Winery
Founded by Jaime Rodriguez Salis in 1968, in what were the ruins of a farm that belonged to a monastery from the 14th-century, the winery was a pioneer of the estate-bottled Rioja wines and the concept of "terroir". It is the first winery in Rioja in modern history to bottle wine only from its own vineyards. The vineyards are located in the town of Labastida in Rioja Alavesa, in a natural amphitheater between the mountains of Toloño and San Cristobal, in the foothills of the Sierra Cantabria, 2,100 ft. (700 m) above sea level. This is the highest elevation vineyard in Rioja. The vineyards are planted on 173 acres (70 ha) of well-drained slopes with excellent exposure to the sun. They are protected from west winds but open to some north winds, which help lower the risk of pests that result from humidity. The yield is approximately 4,500-5,000 kg/ha, where in Rioja the average is 6,500 kg/ha. When harvesting, the fruit from vines younger than 7 years is not allowed to be part of the final blend. No chemical fertilizers, pesticides, or herbicides are used. Low yields and a high rate of selection at harvest are goals of this property. The soil is chalk-clay in different proportions. These vineyards are a result of the decomposition of the mountain. The climate is typical of mild summers, cold winters; big temperature changes between day and night, with snow common in winter. Temperatures can be as low as 23°F View all Remelluri Wines
About RiojaView a map of Rioja wineries (ree-OH-hah) Spain makes some of the best Tempranillo-based wines in the world. Once the only DOCa (recently joined by Priorat in 2001), Rioja is divided into 3 sub-regions: Rioja Baja, Rioja Alta, Rioja Alavesa. There are 4 red varieties and 3 white varieties allowed in the Rioja DOC. Tempranillo definitely takes center stage, followed by Garnacha (Grenache), which is sometimes added for body, then Graciano and Mazuelo (Carignan). The region also makes roses. For whites, the main grape is Viura (or Macebo), producing fresh, early-drinking wines. Malvasia, the grape that was once the most planted white, is found less often.
Notable FactsThe Rioja wine trade is somewhat confusing. Grapes are typically brought to a merchant's bodega from one of the 20,000+ growers in the region, or via a cooperative. The wine is then bottled and labelled by that bodega. Rioja's Consejo Regulador keeps track of all vineyards and bodegas to make sure they are following the DOCa regulations. Put in place to ensure quality, the system also controls prices.
As with the rest of Spain, the wine label may state Crianza, Reserva or Gran Reserva, depending on barrel & bottle maturation. Crianzas are usually found within two years of the vintage and offer fresh, ripe wines. Reserva and Gran Reserva will be found a few years after the vintage, as the bodega will be aging the wines in barrel and bottle before release. Both typically show more secondary characteristics of spice and oak ageing.
About Spain
The most popular red varieties of Spain include Tempranillo and Garnacha (Grenache). Whites don't garner quite as much recognition, but there are some regional varieties not to be missed, like Albarino and Verdejo. The popular red regions of Spain include Rioja, known for its outstanding wines of the Tempranillo grape; Ribera del Duero, producing high quality reds from Tempranillo and Garnacha; Galacia, with the sub-region of Rias Baixas, home to the deliciously crisp and floral Albarino grape; and Priorat, a region increasing in popularity with its high-quality cult reds. Other regions of note are Rueda, growing the Verdejo grape, La Mancha, a wide desert region, covered in the most planted white variety in the world, Airen, and Jumilla, making wines based on Monastrell (Mourvedre).
Spain's wine laws are based on the Denominacion de Origen (DO) classification system, devised in the 1930's. A four tiered system, the most basic level is Vina de Mesa (table wine) followed by Vino de la Tierra (country wine), DO and at the top DOC. Currently, only Rioja and Priorat have DOC status, while over 65 DO's scatter the country.
Most DO regions are classified and regulated by how long they age the wines. On a red wine label, one may find the terms Crianza, Reserva or Gran Reserva, denoting the wine's barrel and bottle time. Crianza is usually two years between barrel and bottle (the time in each depends on the DO and/or the winemaker), Reserva up to 4 years and Gran Reserva 5 – 6 years. Classifications of each region and wine are controlled by the region's Consejo Regulador.

11/22 trip to Round Valley
Expand Messages
- Greetings Mendobirders: Eleven folks from Peregrine Audubon visited Round
Valley on 11/22 and it was definitely a big day for raptors up there. We
got to Dobie Lane, the N to S road running the length of the E side of the
valley, a little after 9. We birded our way N along this road until noon,
and were well rewarded. The best bird of the trip was a ROUGH-LEGGED HAWK
which we spotted immediately we got out of the cars. We watched as it
hunted, as it soared chasing a NORTHERN HARRIER, and as it sunned itself on
the frosty morning. We also had a PRAIRIE FALCON perching and preening in
a Valley Oak right in front of us. We watched it hunting and actually
picking off some unknown small bird. The valley was full of WHITE-TAILED
KITES, 7 in one tree! We had scope-filling views of FERRUGINOUS HAWK, and
counted 3 of them just on the east side of Round Valley. By the time the
morning was over, we had seen 11 raptors, also including COOPER'S HAWK,
RED-SHOULDERED HAWK, RED-TAILED HAWK in a variety of color morphs, adult
GOLDEN EAGLE, AMERICAN KESTREL, and a couple of MERLIN. We proceeded
leisurely E to the Black Butte NFS camp ground for lunch. Here we watched
a soaring adult BALD EAGLE for dessert. A 12-raptor day- that is about as
good as it gets in Mendocino County!

Selene: Why?
"Acctually, yes.." I replied. "I- I told my mother I never wanted to talk to her again, sort of."
Crystal raised her eyebrows. "Why? You know she wants you to be after her, to drive the moon chariot across the sky, and... she is your mother. Why?"
"I hate it!" I replied. "I'm stuck on the ground, bah! Why should she have left me here, with the humans, even after I embraced what I am? I belong in the sky, there, with her and the other gods and goddesses!"
" Maybe you need to grow up, become more experienced. Life is a journey. I should know."
"Bah! I'm useless here!" I sneered. " But, by the way, I do accept your hospitality... Where do you live?"

Power Rankings: Blackhawks hold top spot as Sharks, Leafs rise from deep
Welcome to the latest installment of our 2014–15 NHL Power Rankings. After four weeks of various teams jockeying at the top, we have a repeat No. 1 as the Blackhawks edged the Ducks in our polling. Our three scribes—Allan Muir, Sarah Kwak and Sam Page—submitted their choices for the league's Top 10. The rankings for the all 30 teams have been weighted according to ancient Babylonian accounting principles as well as how high each club came in on our writers' ballots. In some cases a purely intuitive, wholly unscientific and no doubt deplorable method was used to break ties, rank teams that were chosen by only one or two writers, and antagonize the general public. We've presented the 30 teams in groups, with the Top 10 receiving the most trenchant commentary. Overview paragraphs precede the Middle 10 and Bottom 10. Weekly movement up or down has been noted. So without further ado, commence to stew!
11Chicago Blackhawkslast week: 1record: 21-9-1MUIR (2): Their eight-game winning streak came to an end on Saturday against the Islanders, but they got another one going with a solid 2-1 win over the Flames on Sunday. It won't hurt to have Corey Crawford back in the lineup this week. It'll be interesting to see whether Antti Raanta or Scott Darling stays to back him up. They've both earned the right.KWAK (1):That close one-goal loss to the Isles has been the only blemish on the Blackhawks' record since Nov. 26. And the absence of Crawford, who's been out since Dec. 2 with a left leg injury, hasn't presented any problems. In fact, backups Raanta and Darling have been excellent in relief, combining for a league-leading .945 save percentage since Crawford went down.PAGE (1): As everything continues to break right for the Hawks, Crawford has made a speedy recovery from the injury he suffered falling down the steps at a Rise Against concert. The Chicago-based, goalie-killing band has dates coming up in Nashville, Pittsburgh, Edmonton, and Calgary, so adjust your fantasy lineups accordingly.Last week: 3-1-0
22Anaheim Duckslast week: 3record: 21-6-5MUIR (1): No Corey Perry, no problem. Even without their top sniper the Ducks have managed to win seven straight and 10 of 12 to put some distance between them and the rest of the Pacific. Ilya Bryzgalov and Dany Heatley will be joining the mix this week, adding some depth and veteran experience to a lineup that seems to already have everything.KWAK (2): The league's top team in the standings has built some cushion in its lead with that win streak. And though Anaheim remains without Perry (knee), who has been team's leading goal scorer the last four years, linemate Ryan Getzlaf has predictably picked up the slack. No player has put up more points in December than Getzlaf (11), who has two game-winners this month.PAGE (2): The first team to be infected with the mumps, the Ducks are also the first team to get that post-mumps second wind. OK that may not be exactly what's going on—Perry is out again with an unrelated injury—but the Ducks have won seven straight. Playing Winnipeg and Edmonton twice each in four days tends to do wonders for winning streaks.Last week: 3-0-0
33St. Louis Blueslast week: 8record: 20-8-2MUIR (3): Coach Ken Hitchcock was looking for more volume from his Blues and they've responded. They're getting more pucks to the net, averaging 34 shots per game over their past 11 games according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Not coincidentally, more pucks are going in. The Blues have scored three or more goals in nine of those 11 games.KWAK (3): Last week, the Blues gave the NHL's hottest team (the Islanders) an ice bath with two emphatic wins. And their offense, with 19 goals in its last four games, has lifted them three spots to 12th in the league in scoring average. Defenseman Kevin Shattenkirk, with his seven points in his last four games, now trails only Calgary's Mark Giordano in points by a blueliner.PAGE (3): After losing consecutive games to Chicago and Nashville, the Blues put up 16 goals in three games against the Eastern Conference. The good news first: Those games against the East count. The bad: The Blues are still in a division with the 'Hawks and Predators.Last week: 2-0-0
44Pittsburgh Penguinslast week: 7record: 20-6-4MUIR (6): Blood clots, cancer, the mumps ... about the only ailments that haven't stricken the Penguins this season are housemaid's knee and dum-dum fever. But even with Sid The Kid doing his best Quagmire impression, Pittsburgh continues to bank points. That was an impressive win over the Lightning on Monday night to move this battered roster to 4-1-2 in December.KWAK (4): The Curious Case of the NHL Mumps has now hit the Pens dressing room because they obviously haven't had enough bad medical news to deal with this season. (Sarcasm.) Despite dropping two games this week, the Penguins at least picked up points in each loss, and they hang on to the top spot in the East. But losing Sidney Crosby to the mumps could be a painful bump in the road.PAGE (6): They're playing well, but their best player has a viral disease that was previously thought to be eradicated in developed nations. This ranking reflects the possibility that Evgeni Malkin's head swells to the size of a watermelon in the coming weeks.Last week: 2-0-1
55Nashville Predatorslast week: 5record: 19-8-2MUIR (7): Man, on home ice the Preds are tougher than a greasy spoon porterhouse. They're not just a league-best 11-2-1 at Bridgestone—they're showing their character with 11 one-goal wins. You'd like to see GM David Poile add some scoring punch up front to take some of the pressure off of Calder Trophy favorite Filip Forsberg and his top line.KWAK (5): Goalie Pekka Rinne is making his 6-2-1 start to the season, when he averaged a pretty strong 1.97 GAA and .927 save percentage, look absolutely pedestrian at this point. In six starts this month, his averages have dipped to 1.52 GAA and .949 save pct., tops among goalies with more than three starts.PAGE (5): Saturday's 2-0 loss to the Sharks reveals a dirty secret about these exciting, new-look Preds: They're scoring like the old Preds. Their 2.59 goals per game ranks just 18th in the NHL. Getting their abysmal power play going would help.Last week: 2-1-0
66Tampa Bay Lightninglast week: 4record: 19-10-3MUIR (9): They've dropped four of five, so yeah, you can argue that I'm being too generous here—especially now that keeper Ben Bishop is out indefinitely after being injured in Monday's loss to Pittsburgh. But the Bolts still have such a wealth of talent up front that once they get their struggling power play back online they'll be all right.KWAK (8): The skidding Lightning have let their hold on the Atlantic Division slip away. They now have four games on the road, where they haven't fared terribly well. Away from home they average 3.07 goals against, just a tick less than the 3.08 goals per game they score.PAGE (4): They haven't beat an opponent with a winning record since the Rangers on Dec. 1. Now Bishop is hurt on the heels of backup Evgeni Nabokov looking totally ineffective. The next goalie up? Only generational netminding talent Andrei Vasilevskiy. That's what makes this team so good: the depth afforded by its farm system.Last week: 1-3-0
77San Jose Sharkslast week: 16record: 17-11-4MUIR (4): I'm sure someone knows what to make of these Sharks, but it sure isn't me. San Jose is now on a 7-1 tear after losing six times to non-playoff teams in November. Hard to reconcile those wild swings. One difference maker? Check out the penalty kill that's iced 19-of-21 opportunities during that eight-game span.KWAK (9): Perhaps feeling the heat from a very lackluster start to the season, the Sharks are beginning to look like the Sharks again, winning seven of their last eight. They've been led by winger Tommy Wingels, who doubled his point total with 11 in his last eight games. He's on pace to eclipse his career high 38 points by mid-February.PAGE (9): Despite management's best efforts to obscure it with scrappy grinders, there's a good team here still. If the Sharks keep up their winning ways, GM Doug Wilson will have a tough choice whether to invest heavily in the Joe Thornton/Patrick Marleau core one last time or keep blowing up his team.Last week: 3-0-0
88New York Islanderslast week: 2record: 21-10-0MUIR (10): How's this for a telling stat: The Isles are the first team in history to win their first nine games that required extra time in a given season. New York is 3-0 in overtime and 6-0 in the shootout after downing the Devils on Monday night. You just know all those extra points will pay off when the playoff picture plays out.KWAK (6): They finally ended a worrisome three-game skid with a 3-2 comeback win over Chicago on Saturday. But there were serious warts evident in those losses, mainly surrendering late three-goal leads in back-to-back games and being outscored 11-1 in third periods.PAGE (7): Many Islanders squads of the past decade or so would have gone into a tailspin after giving up 17 total goals in three straight losses. The Isles of today, however, have an NHL-caliber goalie who gave them the confidence to pull off two hard-fought comebacks at home against Chicago and New Jersey.Last week: 2-2-0
99Detroit Red Wingslast week: 6record: 17-7-7MUIR (8): Maybe those two losses to the Maple Leafs should have dropped them lower here, but this team continues to impress me with its resilience. The Red Wings lost Stephen Weiss (again) and Justin Abdelkader last week, robbing them of two productive forwards, but they just keep battling. This is why coach Mike Babcock is worth whatever he wants.KWAK (7): They lost three in a row this week, keeping the race for the top of the Atlantic exceedingly close. But two came in shootouts, where the Red Wings have been terrible. Detroit is 1-5 in the skills competition this season, and goalie Jimmy Howard has a .250 save percentage in one-on-one situations. It doesn't mean much in the playoffs, but it could mean something on the way there.PAGE (8): After preying on some weaker competition for a few weeks, the Wings found themselves stumped by the division-rival Leafs. It's hard to tell yet if this team is a serious Stanley Cup contender or just a final, impressive audition for Mike Babcock's next contract.Last week: 0-1-2
1010Toronto Maple Leafslast week: 15record: 18-9-3MUIR (5): I'm still not convinced that the Leafs are a playoff team—we'll have a better sense of that after they get back from a seven-game road trip necessitated by the World Junior Championship tournament games being played at Air Canada Centre—but there's no denying how great they've been lately. One regulation loss in their past 11 games and five wins in a row after knocking off the Kings on Sunday deserves some respect.KWAK (10): Because everything about the Leafs is a little weird, their whole odd non-salute to their fans on Nov. 20 might've actually been a turning point. Since that act of passive-aggression, the Leafs have been all hell-bent for leather, winning eight of 10, including back-to-back victories against the Red Wings last week. Mike Santorelli and Nazem Kadri have been giving Toronto much-needed secondary scoring, and goalie Jonathan Bernier has been solid.PAGE (10): Who knew? After they lost 9-2 to Nashville in November, many people expected an implosion. Now the Leafs sit near the top of their division with the league's best offense (3.37 goals per game). Do I think it will last? No, but building up Leafs fans' expectations before the inevitable collapse is half the fun.Last week: 4-0-0
We're still waiting patiently for the Kings to break out. They're a fine team; their two Stanley Cups in three years prove as much. But they continue to struggle offensively. They rank 17th in goals per game and their power play is connecting just 15.5% of the time. Anze Kopitar, their leading scorer in each of the last seven seasons, has just 13 points, good—so to speak—for seventh on the team.
Meanwhile in the Eastern Conference, it now seems inevitable that a truly pedestrian team will sneak into the playoffs and get torched in the first round. Here's hoping for an intrastate Florida beat down. And are the Bruins really this bad? The numbers don't lie. Their offense is down .7 goals per game from last season, the largest drop of any team in the league. On defense, they're allowing .49 goals per game more than they did last season. Add it up and that swing of 1.19 goals has them on the outside looking in.

Six wins in a row for Columbus. Seven of nine for the Sabres. All of a sudden both teams are closer to a playoff spot in the wide open Eastern Conference than they are the cellar. Can they keep it up? Buffalo remains a long shot, if only because goalie Jhonas Enroth can't possibly maintain his smoldering pace (his .935 save percentage at even strength ranks sixth). But the Jackets are finally emerging from a hellish bout of injuries and only now starting to play like the playoff participant they were last season. Don't bet against 'em this time around.
Say hello to rock bottom, ye Oilers who have won all of one game since Nov. 11 and kicked coach Dallas Eakins to the curb. It's already been a long road in Edmonton and it doesn't seem like an end to their rebuild is anywhere in sight. What's that about a top pick in next year's draft? Yeah, well, the Oilers have had plenty of those and still, here they are. It's sick. Commissioner Gary Bettman needs to relegate Edmonton to the AHL andaward Connor McDavid to the Las Vegas expansion franchise.

Just Above the Mantelpiece: Mass-Market Masterpieces
Just above the mantelpiece is a big, beautiful book which celebrates the mass-produced art that began to decorate thousands of homes on both sides of the Atlantic from the late 1950s. Once derided by the art world, artists such as Vladimir Tretchikoff, creator of The Green Lady, and Margaret Keane, whose portraits launched the Big Eye movement, are today emerging from anonymity to be reassessed as pop art geniuses. Wayne Hemingway, one of Britain's leading street fashion designers, explains his long-held fascination with the genre in a concise, witty text that runs alongside over 300 gems from his own collection. He sketches the lives of the leading artists and reviews their new-found acclaim in the world of fashion, fine art and photography today.
"I think what Keane has done is just terrific. It has to be good. If it were bad, so many people wouldn't like it." -Andy Warhol
Wayne Hemingway, co-founder of Red or Dead, Britain's legendary street-fashion label, hosts his own weekly TV slot
Includes tipped-in images to peel off and frame
Mass-market art is now highly collectible

Etana - PointlessMature
I don't know why Draniei even bothers. Izumi will never give in and be friends with him, so if I was him, I'd just give up.
I tell him this.
"Thoughts to self" Namir mutters.
"Nah, it's fine. You might not want to be so open around some people, though"
"Yeah, I get told that a lot" I frown. "Oh dear, I was going to ask Izumi what that teacher's called, but now I can't..."
"What teacher?"
"The one who makes us all use her first name"
"Natziti?" Draniei suggests.
"Yeah, that's it! Hey, Namir! Leave Zephyr alone!" I exclaim happily, and then slightly alarmed. God,how rude can you get? Trying to catch someone else's animal spirit.
"Sorry" he says, jumping onto my lap.
"When you first came here, you were one of the quietest people around" Draniei tells me. "What happened?"
"I got used to it" I grin. "Anyway, back to the main point. If Izumi wont let you be her friend, why don't you make friends with that sloth girl? She seems a bit lonely"
"Kema doesn't need friends. Izumi does"
"Hmm, but- NAMIR!" I yell. "Stop it right now!"
Namir ducks his head and hides under the table.
"Your cat wouldn't be able to catch Zephyr"
"Yeah, but I'm trying to avoid the trouble if he does"
"You should have more faith in him. You have similar personalities, use it to an advantage, not to seek out problems"
And that gets me thinking.

Playful Rearing
- Dec 1, 2000
- Topics:
We recently received an orphaned colt from a very reputable breeder friend who had neither the time nor facilities to raise the baby. We picked him up when he was five hours old, and he is now three weeks old. Health-wise he is doing fine. He drinks his milk from a bucket, is eating a little grain and gaining weight, and his muscle mass is developing very well. We imprinted him as soon as he got to the barn and do not play with him at all. We started halter breaking and that is going well; we just put him with a recently weaned three-month-old colt two days ago and again, no problems.
Now for the problem: This colt rears up at people constantly (but not under halter), not in anger, but in play. While we have raised orphaned babies in the past, this is our first colt that we intend to leave a stud. Right now all we do in the way of discipline when he rears up is hit him in the chest and tell him "no," but this doesn't seem to be working. Please help.
Missy, Oklahoma
I know exactly what you are talking about and how annoying and dangerous this behavior can be. I agree with you that it should be stopped, and the sooner the better. Most foals do not just grow out of this behavior, rather, they just grow to be more dangerously friendly. Interestingly, it can continue in geldings and also occurs in fillies. Together with nipping, rearing is certainly one of the more common problems with orphans interacting with people. But the same problem also can occur in non-orphan foals which are handled very early and/or often. As you said, it is probably that the people become the target of the enthusiastic greeting and play initiation behavior that would normally be directed toward herdmates. Among foals and yearlings in natural herds, this rearing you describe specifically occurs dozens of times a day, almost within every interaction of the youngster with its sire, dam, and herd mates.
The good news is that this rearing, just like nipping or charging up too enthusiastically to people, can be corrected very efficiently in young foals. And it can be done usually without adverse side-effects such as head-shyness or loss of trust in people. My usual tact is to do simple response-specific aversive conditioning. In other words, teach the foal that this rearing leads to an aversive consequence. It usually only takes about two or three well-executed trials for most foals to make the connection. Before I explain further, I have to say that this is one of the few times I ever recommend hitting a horse. I wish there were a better way.
The goal specifically is to punish just the undesirable response, in this case, the rearing. You want the foal to learn that the rearing is bad, but that he and his behavior in general are good. For me the most effective adverse consequence (punishment) is a well-timed whack on the delicate muzzle. What I like to do is to approach the foal, setting up the situation in which he has reared in the past so that I can anticipate and be prepared. Since I am right handed, I position myself with my right hip toward the head of the foal so that when he rears only my backside (naturally well-padded) is at risk. I make sure my right arm is free and ready to whack the muzzle with the little-finger side of my hand. (And I am certain it hurts my hand more than it hurts the foal.)
The trick is to remain relaxed and normally interactive until just as the foal nudges to begin rearing, then as swiftly and firmly as possible whack the muzzle, interrupting the rearing. Then immediately relax again as soon as he is on the ground. Remember the foal needs to learn that it is only the rearing that causes the whack. In fact, standing quietly near you is just great. So that he does not become fearful of you or your hand in general, he needs as clear a message as possible so that he associates the aversive outcome specifically with the rearing.
As the foal collects himself, I calmly step to behind his shoulder and reach over the withers to stroke his neck or shoulder on the off side, in the areas where horses tend to mutually groom one another. This will reward the good behavior of standing near you and reassure the foal of your generally kind nature. (I think that approaching from the side behind the head is important--it seems less likely to elicit fear of your hand that has just whacked his little muzzle.) From then on until the foal has been free of the rearing for several months, I continue to approach the foal in the same way, at an angle to the shoulder, with my right hip toward the foal so I can reach my hand over and rub the off side. Hopefully each time we can skip the rearing bit, but I'm ready to interrupt it if it should occur.
One way to look at the procedure is that you are not just teaching the foal that rearing is bad, but you are teaching the foal an alternate manner of approaching people and getting attention. Rather than rearing, he just has to stand, and you will come to him and scratch his neck.
Even with the best of timing, you can expect that after the first or second whack, there might be a phase in which the foal is fearful or shy in general of you. He might pull away so that you can't stroke him. In that case, just stand calmly and quietly and let him come back to you, then stroke him.
This training can be accomplished over the course of a few days of routine interactions, or can be done in special sessions devoted to the purpose. Either way, the total time is usually less than one-half hour to correct rearing. It is really important to try to correct these overfriendly behaviors (rearing, nipping, or charging up too enthusiastically) while the foal is small. The larger the foal gets, the higher the risks of getting hurt and the more difficult it becomes to effectively relax before and after delivery of the punishment of the specific undesirable response.
Now, you are probably wondering why this procedure is any better than what you have already tried. There is likely a small, but important difference of hitting the delicate muzzle as opposed to hitting the chest. There are at least two key features to delivering effective response-contingent punishment. First, it has to immediately hurt. Second, it can't be so disastrous that it distracts the animal from the specific association. I wonder if you can hit the chest hard enough to be hurt without knocking the foal over and so blurring the association. With the muzzle, it seems that most people can make it hurt without going too far. A second thought about why hitting the chest might not be working for you is that it might actually be interpreted by your colt as a play fighting response. There is a lot of chest and shoulder contact during play in young horses.
Good luck, and be sure to let us know how it goes.

At least four geological thrusts come to a head in the area, and one of the seismic consequences is the Banff hot springs. Native tribes considered the springs sacred, given their power to heal the wounded, but also a sign that there was a lot of disruptive mojo in the Bow Valley, both good energy and bad. "They selected Buffalo Mountain as the place where the spirits gather," a Blackfoot elder named Tom Cranebear told me one afternoon. We were sitting at a table overlooking the peaks to the west of town, Sulphur and Bourgeau and beyond.
"But why do that on a mountain at all?" I asked.
"Well," Elder Tom said, "you believe in heaven? Everyone believes in some form of heaven. The higher you get, you won't have a problem getting the rest of the way up."
"Why don't natives climb mountains, then, the way other people do?"
He looked at me. He spoke with long pauses, the way native elders sometimes do. "Well, we don't have the equipment, No. 1. But what's the use of climbing the mountain? There's nothing up there. So we don't climb the mountains."
Others do. Mountains emit a siren call to challengers: Their steep-ness and remoteness, their disdain for human access, seem to offend our pipsqueak egos. This past ski season, one of the must-do tricks for skilled teenage hot-doggers was to ski an exceptionally steep run at Kicking Horse Mountain Resort in Golden, just across the B.C. border, while naked – or, failing that, to ski it non-stop while placing a cellphone call to your mom halfway down.
The climber who made the official first ascent of Rundle in 1888, J.J. McArthur, made no fewer than 160 such ascents from 1887 to 1893. The CPR's Van Horne (who was, among other things, a painter) understood the appeal from the start: To attract paying passengers to his new railway (and later to his luxury chateaus), he touted "the challenge of the mountains" and their "1,100 unclimbed peaks."
After an American climber fell to his death attempting a first ascent of Mount Lefroy near Lake Louise, Alta., the CPR hired Swiss guides Eduard Feuz Sr. and Christian Häsler to haul wealthy tourists safely upward. From 1899 to 1954, the 25 Swiss guides employed by the CPR never suffered a casualty. Conrad Kain, the famed Austrian guide, made 60 virgin ascents (often falling back at the last moment to let his paying client take the glory), and then wrote a memoir, Where the Clouds Can Go, in which he laid out his essential rules for guides. No. 1 was Never show fear. No. 4 was Lie when necessary.
Feuz and Häsler begat the likes of Norwegian Erling Strom, North America's first professional ski instructor, who helped to persuade the railway to build Assiniboine Lodge, the backcountry's first (still operating); Strom begat Bruno Engler, the mountaineering filmmaker, and Hans Gmoser, inventor of heli-skiing. (The two guided Pierre Trudeau into the Bugaboo range in the early 1970s.)
Gmoser's doctor, Smitty Gardner, asked him to take his son, Don, into the mountains. Don Gardner, in the company of Banff-based writer and explorer Chic Scott and others, made the first Great Divide ski traverse across a mass of icefields from Jasper to Lake Louise, to cite just one of their remarkable exploits. Gardner had a thing for Rundle, too: He hiked up its Banff edge, traversed the long ridge, and descended into Canmore, in winter.
The history of the Rockies is knotted up like this, incestuous but interconnected, local history and local memory made bigger by the mountains that people from around the world cannot help but explore, traverse, climb up, ski down, hike or just adore.
The other day in a house next to the Bow River, I heard Chic Scott conduct a fireside chat with Ralphine Locke, an octogenarian who as a child knew many of the pioneers who settled Banff. She remembered the yellow cars that collected the first tourists from the train station on Victoria Day weekend. (In those days, the Banff Springs Hotel shut down for winter.) "That's how you knew it was spring." The house was packed with locals hanging on Ralphine's every word – their living connection to the early history of their town.Report Typo/Error

Both main opposition parties welcomed the Turner report, but did so in a way that highlighted differences between the prime minister and the chancellor, writes Julian Glover.
The Conservatives and the Liberal Democrats were united in choosing to claim that the report was a belated response to a problem partly of the government's own making.
The Liberal Democrat leader, Charles Kennedy, said there was "broad agreement" over the reforms needed but that the chancellor stood in the way of these. "The present system of means-tested, muddled and inadequate state pensions cannot be maintained," he said, warning that the chancellor could exercise a veto over reform.
The party's pension spokesman, David Laws, argued that Lord Turner's plans were similar to the Lib Dems' proposed citizen's pension: both avoid means-testing.
The Conservatives targeted Mr Brown, too, with Michael Howard using his last PMQs to attack what he called "the chancellor's plan to sabotage Lord Turner's report - which at least tries to do something about the problems the chancellor has created".
That tit-for-tat tone continued as MPs responded to the statement from the pension secretary, John Hutton. Every party accepted that pensions policy needed to change, but MPs disagreed over who should take responsibility for the present situation.
According to one of Mr Hutton's Conservative predecessors, Peter Lilley, the government's record is as damaging to the savings of the nation "as Robert Maxwell was to those of his employees".
Frank Field, a former Labour minister who tried to reform the system after 1997 but got nowhere, warned that there could be no further delay. "If we think we can kick pension reform into the long grass until after the next election, we might find the electorate think many of us should join it," he said.
Sir Malcolm Rifkind, the shadow pensions secretary, joined the praise. "It is a powerful. It is a professional and it is a very persuasive document," he said. But he added that the opposition needed time to study the financial implications, especially for small businesses. That was a sign that despite today's unity, there are plenty of cross-party battles to come.

Don't Slip
There is some thing about the water that calms my most frazzled nerves. It is almost as if I was born to swim. My coach back in Montana, always called me a fish. Seriously, every day he would give me another fish name. I think some of the younger kids on the team thought I actually was part fish. They were always asking if they could see my scales.
I saw the little rocky peninsula and ran to it. Then I stopped short. there was the most beautiful necklace I had ever seen on the very tip. But I had to be careful. The rocks looked very slippery. I started slowly towards the string of beads. Finally, I reached a necklace. The cool sliminess of marble sized stone coated with the sea spray.
When I tried to pick it up, it slipped into the frothy ocean. I was so entranced that there was no thought. I simply dived in after it. As the silky smooth texture enveloped my body, I opened my eyes. It was so clear under the surface, that I could immediately see the shimmering silver charm.
I have a talent that some people call amazing. I can open my eyes under water. hat in and of itself, is not really that rare, but I can do it in the ocean and it doesn't hurt my eyes. So, since I could see the charm leading the way to the bottom of the sea, I reached out a hand to catch it.
When I made contact with the beads, I felt a little tingle go through my fingertips. I grasped the necklace and started to rise for air. By the time I made it to air, the tingle had multiplied and spread out. Now it was up to my elbow. I lifted my head out of the water and raised my body onto a rock.

Angel of Evil (Italian: Vallanzasca – Gli angeli del male, also known as Vallanzasca - Angels of Evil) is a 2010 Italian crime film directed by Michele Placido. It is based on the biography Il fiore del male. Bandito a Milano of bank robber Renato Vallanzasca, by Italian journalist Carlo Bonini.
Locked up in prison serving a life sentence for his crimes, an old Renato Vallanzasca (Kim Rossi Stuart) proceeds in the memories of a youth spent as head of a crime syndicate known as the chronicle Banda della Comasina, which raged in the '70s in Milan between robberies, kidnappings, murders and evasions.

- Paz Vega as Antonella D'Agostino
- Moritz Bleibtreu as Sergio
- Francesco Scianna as Francis Turatello
- Valeria Solarino as Ripalta Pioggia, aka Consuelo
- Monica Bîrlădeanu as Nicoletta
In 2008, 20th Century Fox showed a project of Renato Vallanzasca's movie to Michele Placido, proposing him to direct it. The director, initially uninterested, accepted the job only after being approached by Kim Rossi Stuart, who wanted to play the role of the protagonist. Placido spoke for the first time about it in a January 2009 interview, in which he announced his plans for the future, directing Vallanzasca and two other films.[1]
20th Century Fox has taken care of Italian cinema distribution. Before being confirmed as the distribution company, the producers had thought of Medusa Film and Rai Cinema, but neither were interested in film studies and rejected the script. On 12 July 2010, Michele Placido said in a press release about the film that both houses had refused the rights acquisition because of the "hypocritical respectability" in Italy. Vallanzasca was originally planned to be theatrically released in Italy in October 2010, but 20th Century Fox delayed it a few months after, to 17 December.
The film was released in the United States in 2011 with the title Angel of Evil.[2]
On Rotten Tomatoes, it has a 48% rating, [3]on Internet Movie Database, the film received an average user rating of 6.8/10[4]

New Delhi, Feb 15 (UNI) Strongly attacking the statement of Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y S Rajashekhara Reddy's statement that the creation of Telangana would escalate the extremist problems the BJP said he was only giving an excuse for not implementing his own party's promises.
BJP spokesman Prakash Javadekar said that Dr Reddy should know that the naxal problems in Chhatisgarh cropped up because of the wrong policies of his government and the ceasefire agreed by his government. The naxals had regrouped during the ceasefire period and extended their activities in Chhatisgarh, he added.
He said creation of Chhatisgarh from Madhya Pradesh had helped faster development in both the states and rising extremism could not be an excuse for not granting statehood to Telangana. The BJP supports immediate formation of Telangana as promised in 2004 by the the Congress and the Telangana Rashtra Samiti headed by K Chandrasekhara Rao, he said.

I'm afraid my columella is bigger than before and one nostril is bigger than the other. (photos)
Doctor Answers 3
Rhinoplasty, some advices:
Thank you very much for sharing your concerns with us.
The harmony between facial parts makes us instinctively recognize the beauty... without knowing it, without defining it, just a perception that surprises and captivates us.
In this regard, I suggest perform a Closed Rhinoplasty (without visible scars) to treat the tip, base and nasal bridge.
With this procedure you get a delicate nose, better harmonize with your other facial features.
Dr. Emmanuel Mallol Cotes.-
First, you are fresh post-op and very swollen,. Second, your nostrils were asymmetric before surgery as well. Best of luck. Be patient and allow things to settle down.
Web reference: https://www.stevenwallachmd.com/face-procedures/rhinoplasty/
Columella appears larger after surgery.
At only 5 days after your surgery, you are very early in your healing process. There is still swelling of your tissues which will resolve over the next several weeks. Your nostrils had some asymmetry before your procedure but look quite equal in your post op views. Be patient, address your concerns with your surgeon and wait for the swelling to subside.

The good news is that 10-year-old Hadoop is maturing quickly. The bad news is that many companies are still struggling to get beyond pilot projects and support many applications on this new data-management platform. That's why I wrote my latest report, "Democratize Big Data: How to Bring Order and Accessibility to Data Lakes."
First, let's consider the industry leaders that are doing great things with data lakes, drawing on examples from the recent Hadoop Summit:
In financial services CapitalOne has been making waves this year, appearing at multiple events to talk about its Hadoop and Spark-based fraud-detection and its Big Data analytics, streaming, and security work.
In retail Macy's embraced Hadoop more than five years ago to power insights for Macys.com. Today it's doing more sophisticated cross-channel analysis, driving personalized promotions encouraging online customers to shop in stores and in-store customers to obtain out-of-stock and online-only items at Macys.com.
In manufacturing Ford relies on Hadoop for connected car capabilities. Ford does filtering and decision-making at the sensor and car level while uploading crucial data points for centralized insight and analysis. For example, FordPass app users can remotely check their car's fuel level, location, and diagnostic error codes, but detailed data used by service technicians remains in the car's black box.
In insurance Progressive has been a pioneer of usage-based pricing with Progressive SnapShot. The company has more than 15 billion miles' worth of driving data in a Hadoop-based data lake, but it can drill down and offer discounts to individual policy holders based on factors such as their total miles driven, nighttime driving, and speed and braking habits.
These examples are inspiring, but behind every breakthrough there's been a lot of hard work.

Finally some tangible progress... I started and completed these 5 drawings (acrylic and graphite on paper) in two days. Off to the framers! Here are teasers:
"Ruin/Salvage" is my favorite, I really like working more roughly with the graphite. I mostly used a 2B, but some 4B for dark areas, and a B and H for lighter details.
I gotta say, nothing feels as good as getting stuff done. I hope you can tell from looking at these that drawing is my absolute favorite activity. I'm learning to love painting, but drawing is my passion.
I've also decided to finish the "Fade/ Specters" painting in oil... just waiting for the clear gesso to dry.

Fantastic drawings. 4B gets that dark? It's the magic touch you have I believe.
