Millipede Part 30 – How Did I Get Here Part 1
October 10, 2012 by Suzanne Calulu
by MillipedeHow Did I get here?In the Talking Heads song "Once in a lifetime", lead singer David Byrne echoes this very line. This lyric came to me many a time as I withdrew from Patriarchal fundamentalism. Like a Nautilus Shell rising to the ocean surface, my ascent was marked with the emptying of successive chambers; first I decided to take control of my future by going back to work, soon I no longer confined myself to skirts and dresses in public. Sometime between the first step and the final exit, I went from rebelling against what I saw as "extreme patriarchy" to questioning the belief itself.Now that I am out-out of the Christian Patriarchy (but not Christianity itself), … [Read more...]

TWINSBURG TOWNSHIP -- At 40 years old in spring 2012, Scott Justice weighed 258 pounds and was feeling the impacts of obesity. Staircases left him winded and he could barely keep up with his young daughter. A five-month transformation left him in a condition to withstand a heart attack that may have otherwise taken his life.
"My weight had become an issue both psychologically and emotionally and quite frankly, with my health," Justice said. "My doctor and some friends of mine had been after me to lose some weight."
While taking his daughter out for a haircut at Hudson's First and Main shopping district, Justice noticed the nearby Fitness Together facility and decided to give them a call, eventually joining the gym March 19.
"I don't know, something about the place, something about the brochure I kind of liked how they planned things out," Justice said. "I had not been actively looking, but it had been in the back of my mind for a while that I needed to do something."
Michael Hall, co-owner and trainer at Fitness Together of Hudson, said Justice showed the kind of drive and work ethic needed to make a significant life change.
"We ramped him up pretty quick," Hall said. "We hit the ground running with him and [Justice] was a dream client. He did everything we told him to do. He just became a fat-burning machine and the transformation was incredible."
Justice said Hall and the Fitness Together team made him feel right at home with a welcoming and helpful attitude.
"They seemed to be a team that was dedicated to helping me achieve my weight loss goal," Justice said. "I know that sounds kind of cliched, but that's the truth. They didn't judge me. I really left there thinking that these people really wanted to help me achieve a weight loss goal."
Results were soon to follow, when Justice reached his target weight of 195 pounds in August. After five months of exercising both at Fitness Together and on his own time, Justice weighed 187 pounds, down from his original 258. Justice and his trainers were shocked when these results were followed by a coronary episode.
The episode took place over the course of three days in late August, at first mistaken by Justice as simple chest pain or heartburn. The team at Fitness Together advised him to see a doctor, which led to the diagnosis of a minor heart attack. Justice said he was appalled that such a thing could happen when he was getting into the best shape of his life.
"It's hard to put it into words," Justice said. "About the time that I started to reach those goals and was actually starting to feel pretty good about myself, I had a heart attack. The doctors were quite amazed at how well my heart stood up to the attacks. There was some damage done, but it stood up pretty well. They credited the weight loss and the conditioning that I had received. If I hadn't lost that weight, it could have been a much worse situation."
Justice received a stint surgery for his heart and was placed on physical therapy in the fall 2012. However, it was only a matter of weeks before he was back at Fitness Together, completing his physical therapy and returning to his exercise regimen.
"I was out for a few weeks, maybe two or three weeks," Justice said. "We started cardio rehab and shortly thereafter I went back to Fitness Together and started strength training again. To be honest, I think I'm in better cardiovascular shape now than I was before my heart attack."
"This guy was back at it," Hall said of Justice's recovery. Doctors "gave us a couple of weeks to monitor a few things and then they gave us the green light. He's back on track."
With more than 60 pounds shed and a cardiac episode behind him, Justice said he now enjoys running in his free time and hopes to take part in the Rite Aid Cleveland Half Marathon in May 2013. Justice credits the Hudson Fitness Together team for his success.
"Those guys really came together to help me," Justice said. "They did more than just give me fitness advice. They were my friends. If it hadn't been for their encouragement, I'm not sure I would have been able to be as successful as I have been."
"It's cool for us we feel like we actually took part in saving this guy's life," Hall said. "That's one of the reasons why we got into this [business]."
Justice said his outlook on life has changed for the better following his intense transformation. By defeating self doubt and years of unhealthy habits, he said both his fitness and mood have improved dramatically.
"I feel tons better," Justice said. "I have more energy, I have a lot more confidence in myself. It gives me a sense of pride, because honestly, I didn't think I could do it."

i was born on the cusp of gemini & taurus & i've always identified with being a person straddling two worlds. i'm new to LA, but have figured out enough to know that i'm part west side, part east side – part hippie, part hipster. part urban, part country boy. my appreciation for fashion & interior design ranges from the eclectic, textural ethnic pattern to clean, modern & stark. i identify with alternative or counter-cultures such as the burning man scene yet i work & thrive in corporate america. i'm part superstar, part monk. my music tastes range from electronica to blue grass to classical, but i'm usually listening to reggae, rock, or kirtan.
i'm mostly vegetarian & hope to make the world a better place, but i don't take myself too seriously. i love witty humor, can be totally sarcastic, am silly, & can be a total dork. i love being inspired by art & nature & people who do cool stuff. mostly i just really love connecting with people & enjoying life!
i've been on a spiritual path that has brought me to a place where i'm content with myself & i know what brings me joy. i also know what triggers my issues – which i look at & continually work to resolve. my partner will be emotionally mature, and have a connection with her spiritual nature. she will be someone i can communicate and share with.
yes, i would love to find a life partner, but i'm also interested in meeting people & making friends. that's usually a good place to start anyways.
i'm interested in someone authentic & down-to-earth yet a dreamer who appreciates the poetic, someone interesting, fun, funny, kind, sensual, adventurous, passionate, yet still. a free spirit but not flakey, someone intelligent & sexy.

Live Report: Gwar, Dirge WIthin, and Mobile Deathcamp at the Starland Ballroom, NJ, June 18
Chris Krovatin is the author of the young-adult novels Heavy Metal & You and Venomous, as well as Revolvermag.com's "Final Six" blog. The latter book was the inspiration for Deadlocke, a one-shot published by Dark Horse Comics. He is also the vocalist New York sludge-metal band Flaming Tusk. Feel free to follow him on Twitter (@bloodinmystool), but honestly, it's mostly just dick and weed jokes.
On Sunday, I went to the Gwar (left), who played with Dirge Within and Mobile Deathcamp. I brought my girlfriend with me. Here's what happened:
Number of times I've seen Gwar: Three, if you include Wacken.
Decision to bring my girlfriend to the Gwar show: Poor.
Amount of time spent lost in New Jersey: Twenty minutes.
Sad truth: That's a record low for me.
Number of warning lights that came on in my car: Four—brakes, seat belts, brake lamps warning, and battery.
Number of prayers said on the way to Starland: Three.
Approximate description of the stench of a Gwar crowd: Hot dogs made by lepers from Boozetown.
Fravorite Gwar-related term: Bohab.
First up: Mobile Deathcamp from Toledo, Ohio.
Sounds like: Hatesphere-style thrash/death played by Laurel and Hardy.
Good band promotion move by MDC frontman T: "MOBILE DEATHCAMP TOLEDO OHIO. MOBILE DEATHCAMP TOLEDO OHIO."
Favorite post-song stage banter of the night: "Come back to the merch booth! We're selling shirts, CDs, poorly drawn pictures, all kinds of fuckin' cheese, string, bits of clay, you name it!"
Amount of alcohol consumed between sets: None. I have to drive, with my girlfriend in the car. Ugh.
Amount of alcohol this reporter would consume he wasn't driving: All of it.
Awkward moment of the night: "All right, honey, I have to warn you, there might be some poo flying around tonight. And some green semen. So just, uh, be careful."
Next up: Dirge Within from Chicago.
Prognosis: I've seen lamer bands with stupider hair who are worse at playing this kind of music. So yeah, they're OK.
Crowd reaction: Absolutely rabid. These kids love some big riffy circle-pit action.
Favorite band merch: Gwar toilet seat lids.
Those are drum heads: With Gwar, though, they're sort of the same thing.
Note to Gwar: Get rid of the neon colors on all the new shirts. Let's get back to that old merch, all poorly drawn and covered in countless dicks.
Speaking of countless dicks: These diehard Gwar fans are some of the rudest and grossest motherfuckers I've ever met. It's just one slimy, obnoxious douchebag after another.
Proud moment of the night: Watching my girlfriend get in a fight with some fat, shit-talking Jersey chick.
Number of fat, shit-talking Jersey chicks encountered on any given night at Starland Ballroom: 141.
And then: Gwar, from Antarctica.
Gwar's Behind the Murder opening video: In true Gwar fashion, barely tolerable.
Things killed onstage: Mutants, gorillas, dissected space-fiends, Michael Jackson, a deformed baby, Cardinal Synn, and the dignity of the entire crowd.
Badass new track: "Metal Metal Land" off of Lust in Space.
Historical fact: Gwar invented music by stretching dinosaur guts across the grand canyon and plucking them in tune with their own rancid flatulence.
Most poetic moment of the night: Gwar front-genital Oderus Urungus raping a deformed baby with a sword while softly singing Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give You Up."
Favorite Gwar stage banter: "YES. BRING FORTH MICHAEL JACKSON. HE HAS CANCER OF THE BALLS. FUCK HIM."
Colors sprayed onto my girlfriend: Green, red.
Number of hammered people getting behind the wheel post-show: All of them.
Best way to end a Gwar show in Jersey: Barely making it out alive.

What To Do When You Forget Someone's Name
We've all been there. Someone walks up to you and addresses you by name, and you literally don't have a clue what his or her name is.
That is an awkward moment every time. But the way we respond is sometimes even more awkward. Sometimes we can get away with a sentence that skips the whole name part. Something like," Wow, how long has it been"? or, "Hey, what's up"?? That does seem pretty obvious though.
You can turn the conversation quickly back on the other person and hope for the best. something like, "I can't believe how great you look". Most people would rather hear that than their name anyway.
If you're with other people when the person walks up, you can just say, "This is Nancy and Liz" and hope the person uses their name to introduce themselves. That works, but it's almost a flat out admission.
You could just admit it right away, but when you do that, there is no way to do it without feeling bad about it, and you know the other person isn't feeling too good either.
Now don't get me wrong, it's literally impossible to remember everything, and with all the names, passwords codes and appointments we have to remember each day, it's no surprise that we forget just about everything else, it's just that it's always awkward, and there seems to be no good answers…except maybe name tags.
Check out some expert advice on the topic from Miss Manners.

Quality Educational Services in University: Self-Evaluation Using Quality Indicators
This paper seeks to help us answer following aspects: The University could be able to offer good educational services? Are these services at higher standards? It suggests how we can identify strengths and areas for improvement, report on standards and quality and draw up plans for action. All those involved in the provision of services may have a role to play: the staff as a whole, the "head teacher", senior managers, individual teams, departments or stages, parents and others with a stake in our schools, the education authority.

Ramana Maharshi and Cow
Ramana Maharshi was not a man of many words; he was not very educated either. He was only seventeen when he escaped into the mountains in search of himself. He was a very silent man, and people used to go particularly to have a taste of his silence.
One thing very miraculous was watched by every comer: whenever he sat in the veranda of the temple, waiting for people who wanted to sit with him in silence, a cow used to come without fail, exactly at the right time. She would sit there, and people could not believe it: "What kind of cow is that?" And when Raman Maharshi moved inside his room, and everybody dispersed, the cow would come close to the window and put her head inside — just to say goodbye, every day. And then she would go back. Then tomorrow she would come again.
It went on continually for years. But one day she did not turn up, and Raman Maharshi said, "She must be either very ill or she must be dead. I must go in search of her."
The people said, "It doesn't look right for a man of your heights to go in search of a cow." But Raman Maharshi did not listen to the people, he went. People followed, and the cow was found. She had fallen in a ditch.
She had become old. She was coming, she was on the way, but she had slipped and had fallen into the ditch.
But she was still alive, and as Raman Maharshi reached her, sat by her side, the cow had tears in her eyes. And she put her head into Raman Maharshi's lap and died.
Raman Maharshi told his people,"A great temple should be made in her memory here, because she has died enlightened — she will not be born even as a human being." And even today the temple stands there, with a statue of the cow inside.
Perhaps we have not made much effort to communicate with animals, with trees, with mountains, with rivers. Certainly their language cannot be our language; some other ways have to be found. But in silence many people have experienced a harmony with the trees, with the animals, with the birds.
So it is not only a parable, it is also an indication of a possibility for the future. Man just has to explore… there is so much to explore! But we are engaged in trivia. We are not concerned with the real and great values of life. We are not concerned even with life itself and its different forms. All these are different forms of the same life which we are made of — the same stuff. There must be some way of communion.

What is Peace Studies?
Peace studies is akin to medicine. It is interdisciplinary, applied, rigorous, has a values dimension (privilege, health), and its findings are often ignored by those who would most benefit. But there is this difference: The need for medical schools and medical training is recognized, the need for peace education and training is not.
- Robert C. Johansen, Professor of Political Science, Notre Dame University; Director of Doctoral Studies, Kroc Institute for International Peace Studies
An interdisciplinary field that looks at economic, political, and social systems and examines ideology, culture, and technology as they relate to conflict and change. Career related activities include policy research, lobbying, public education, petitioning and protest action, community service, and intercultural diplomacy.
- Foreign Affairs Magazine
An interdisciplinary field that analyzes the causes of war, violence, and systematic oppression, and explores processes by which conflict can be managed so as to maximize justice while minimizing violence.
- Daniel Thomas
From its inception as a multidisciplinary field, Peace Studies has included the concepts, methods, and findings of diverse disciplines while focusing on three general areas of study: 1) the causes and conditions that generate and sustain violent conflict; 2) the mechanisms and models for the resolution of violent conflict; 3) and the norms, practices, and institutions for building peace.
George Lopez of Notre Dame University's Kroc Institute for International Peace Studies
Some History of Peace Studies
As an academic subject, Peace Studies began in the aftermath of World War Two. The first program dates to 1948 at Indiana's Manchester College. Unlike ever-narrowing specialization that has occurred in some fields, Peace Studies has expanded inexorably since then. From its international focus on understanding and preventing the roots of war and the spread of nuclear weapons, it now encompasses the promotion of human rights, justice, individual rights and well-being, and much more. Sixty years ago, the pursuit of peace was widely viewed as the province of international diplomacy and the understanding of war was often presumed to be inseparable from military history. Now, we have Track Two diplomacy and a wide variety of approaches to understanding war. Bellicose conflict over natural resources has an ancient history, but in the same decades that mark the emergence (then expansion) of Peace Studies, terms like "water security" and "food security" have become familiar; they suggest how such basic needs affect the balance between danger and safety, war and peace. "Food desert" denotes the impoverished neighborhood where local residents have few and unhealthy choices of what to buy and what to eat. The abuse of children and women has an equally ancient history, but society's intervention through mandates for doctors to report abuse is similarly recent; perhaps care givers will one day be obligated to report the abuse of elders.
Terms like "cultural violence" and "structural violence" are familiar and widely used by scholars and laypeople who may not realize they were coined by pioneering Peace Studies scholar Johan Galtung. Violence at the personal, social, or national levels is as pernicious as international violence. Ian Harris, former president of the International Peace Research Association Foundation, notes: "This expansion of the field of peace research points to an important symbiotic relationship between peace movements, peace research, and peace studies." The expansion is also suggested by the growing importance of NGOs and the very concept of civil society. Peace Studies has grown still broader with the development of alternative dispute mechanisms such as mediation and other forms of ADR (Alternative Dispute Resolution) that can transform conflict. These can be public and formal as with the Truth and Reconciliation Commission in post-apartheid South Africa, judicial as in the pursuit of restorative rather than retributive justice, and personal too through forgiveness. Since 1991, the American Psychological Association has included The Society for the Study of Peace, Conflict, and Violence: Peace Psychology Division, which publishes its own journal, Peace and Conflict: The Journal of Peace Psychology. The expanding ambit of Peace Studies over recent decades can be summarized by two concepts also coined by Galtung:
- Negative peace conceives of peace as if violence were the norm. Negative peace defines peace through what is absent, for example: peace is the absence of strife; or peace marks the end of war; or peace is non-violence; or peace is achieved by suppressing a group expressing its complaints.
- Positive peace focuses on what is present rather than absent. Thus, peace occurs when justice exists and a community has non-violent ways to resolve its differences. Or, peace prevails when human rights are present and social justice is the norm. Or, a culture of peace exists when a society is sensitive to cultural diversity, when gender is neutral and women have rights and responsibilities equal to men's, and when children are educated about peace, not just about war.
In 1980 there were seventy-five Peace Studies programs in the United States, today there are over 400. Another 100 programs exist overseas. There are nearly as many specific names as there are programs. Peace Studies rejects a silo model of comprehending the world; instead, it embraces interrelated and interdependent knowledge, scholarship, and interpretation from all disciplines. As such, it epitomizes the potential for students to learn across disciplines and across the curriculum.

(CNSNews.com) – The White House has "no opinion" on whether the Senate should pass a budget, White House press secretary Jay Carney told a press briefing Wednesday.
ABC News' Jake Tapper asked Carney whether President Obama agreed with comments by Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke at a hearing Tuesday to the effect that the Senate's failure to pass a budget creates uncertainty for business firms; or with a recent assertion by Sen. Harry Reid (D-Nev.) that the Senate does not need to bring a budget to the floor this year.
"The White House has no opinion on Chairman Bernanke's assessment of how the Senate ought to do its business," Carney replied.
"What the president believes is important is that the Budget Control Act that was signed into law by him last year provides the top line spending caps for the coming budget, and he will obviously meet those in the budget proposal he puts forward," he continued.
At the Senate Budget Committee hearing, Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) raised the budget issue and asked Bernanke "how harmful that is in terms of economic growth."
Bernanke replied, "Well senator, I'm not going to comment on parliamentary maneuverings but Senator Wyden [D-Ore.] made exactly the same question – you know, is uncertainty about the future of the tax code, government programs and so on a negative for growth?"
"I think it is, because firms like to have certainty, like to be able to plan," he continued. "And again I would take on the same responsibility as a regulator, that we need to make regulations as clear and as effective as possible."
The last time the Senate passed a budget was on April 29, 2009.
Referencing the last debt-ceiling deal last week, Reid said, "We do not need to bring budget to the floor this year. It's done, we don't need to do it."
As CNSNews.com reported earlier, House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) told reporters on Capitol Hill on Tuesday, "The fact is, you don't need a budget. We can adopt appropriations bills. We can adopt authorization policies without a budget. We already have an agreed-upon cap on spending."

SAM-e Supplement
SAMe, also known as SAM-e, stands for S-adenosylmethionine and occurs naturally in the body. It is formed from the amino acid methionine and the nucleotide adenosine triphosphate, more commonly known as ATP. SAMe works by donating the needed methyl groups for many of the essential reactions that occur in the body. SAMe is also available as a supplement, and is thought to be effective in treating a wide range of diseases ranging from depression and other psychiatric illnesses to infertility, liver problems, osteoarthritis, and premenstrual symptoms and disorders. SAMe can be taken either by mouth or through injections in the muscle given by qualified and trained medical professionals. Since limited research exists on the effectiveness of SAMe in treating the many listed health concerns, it is important for individuals to consult with her/his health care provider before making the decision to take SAMe.
Here are two SAM-e Supplement recommended products which you can buy at reliable place:
Side-effects of taking SAMe may include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, stomachaches, increased thirst, increased salivation, and decreased appetite, among others. As noted above, your health care provider can help you to decide if SAMe is the appropriate method of treatment for your specific condition, and recommend the proper dosage and method of administration. S/he should also be consulted if you experience any of the side effects described above, or any other side effects, while you are taking the supplement.
Because SAMe is sold as a supplement rather than a drug, it is available over the counter without a prescription. However, keep in mind that supplements and herbs are very loosely regulated by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). This means that there are no checks or guarantees that why you buy actually contains what is labeled on the bottle. Unlike prescription or over-the-counter medications, there are also no guarantees as to the purity, strength, efficacy, or safety of the product. So, even though products like SAMe may sound like a good idea, take the time to talk with your health care provider and to make an informed decision about your health!

French Lifestyle
Jim Mourey
In the 1600s France enjoyed a powerful position in the world. However, while Portugal, Spain, and Britain benefited greatly from their overseas expansions, France maintained a relatively minor role in American colonization except for a few settlements along the St. Lawrence that were unbearable in times of ice and extreme cold. King Louis XIV realized that if France was to maintain its leadership status that it must figure out a way to become a colonizing power, so he directed explorations in the North American frontier.
The Frenchman Samuel de Champlain from Quebec settled along the St. Lawrence River and befriended the Huron and Algonquin Indians. The French assisted these tribes in fighting the Iroquois Indians, who had established an alliance with British settlers. By 1615 France sent Jesuit priests to help civilize the Indians in the St. Lawrence area.
Frontenac, the governor of New France, learned of a "Great Water" to the west that could be a possible outlet to the Pacific Ocean. Realizing the great opportunity that such a route would be for French economy and trade, Frontenac asked Father Marquette and a fur trapper, Louis Joliet, to search for this "Great Water." In two birch-bark canoes, the men embarked on their journey in May 1673.
Cahokia became the first settlement in the area when it was founded in 1699. The town grew up around a religious mission. Eventually more Indians moved into the area with the French settlers. The latter group began to build permanent dwellings, and the village became the first permanent European settlement in Illinois. Kaskaskia was the second permanent settlement in Illinois to be established by the French. Besides these two villages, the villages of Prairie du Rocher and St. Phillippe were also established. The land where the villages were located later became known as the American Bottoms. In 1720 Fort de Chartres was built, as the region of the American Bottoms became an important junction between New France and New Orleans.
Due to the shortage of horses, the French used canoes for transportation. As time passed, word arrived in New France about the productive and fertile flood plain along the Mississippi. Settlers began to venture to the Illinois frontier. Forests of hickory, pecan, and black walnut trees grew along the region's river-bottom lands, as well as crabapple, persimmon, and mulberry trees. Plum and blackberry bushes grew in the underbrush. Limestone was abundant in the bluffs that rose nearly a hundred feet. Fur trappers were delighted with the vast amounts of deer, elk, fox, bear, raccoon, otter, and beaver. The French and Indians traded, hunted, and trapped together and paved the way to a great trust between them. Intermarriage became acceptable, and the groups began working together clearing land and planting tobacco and corn crops.
Trade was successful along the Mississippi River, as shipping to New Orleans created vast trading possibilities. Also, cattle became a great business when the French decided to raise cattle and swine for meat. All of the success halted each year when the river flooded in late spring. The hills left ponds and other small water areas that attracted mosquitoes, which spread disease and devastated some farm land. Many people died each year as a result of the harsh conditions, but nonetheless, life on the frontier continued.
The French saved large amounts of salted pork for the cold months. Instead of an abundance of potatoes, the French had peas as staple food as well as many other vegetables and fruits. Having little tea or coffee, the French relied on sour milk as a
chief beverage, which could have possibly been buttermilk. Butter was created not by churns. Instead, the French shook cream in a bottle to create butter. Flour mills driven by wind-or horsepower produced wheat and rye flour. Most French families also had supplies of dried buffalo meat.
All clothing worn by the French inhabitants was homemade. Ranging from warm wool garments to soft animal-hide clothing, fashion of the French was based less on decoration and more on necessity. For example, everyone wore warm fur caps in winter, while in summer, everyone wore straw hats. The same held true for the shoes of the French. Oiled deerskin moccasins laced halfway to the knee and wool socks sufficed in winter, but in summer, most of the French walked barefooted. Some of the upper-class French imported items from Europe and traded with the eastern American colonies.
The French settlers enjoyed socializing. They always seemed to find time to enjoy themselves whether it be through dancing or card-playing. The French drank in moderation as they were more worried about living happy lives than luxurious ones. Both Mardi Gras and New Year's Day were celebrated in traditional French ways. To this day many Mardi Gras and New Year's celebrations take place as they did during the time of French settlers. La Guiannee, a form of Christmas caroling, was a common ritual among French settlers.
French Illinois colonial villages, which resembled many French villages, were generally dominated by a church that looked awkwardly out of place due to its large size. Houses of early French settlers were rather uniform. The homes, which were usually twenty by forty feet, contained a narrow porch on the front, the rear, and sometimes all the way around the building. It was known as the galerie. The galerie was formed because of the extension of the roof over the home's walls. It would be a steeply pitched hip or gable roof. This roof design allowed water to fall off the roof away from the home and also allowed protection from too much of the sun's rays, which could overheat the home in the hot summer. Houses were only one story, and they were usually built with logs or limestone found in the nearby bluffs of the American Bottoms. The logs were placed upright, and the gaps were filled with clay, grass, and rubble. If built on a stone foundation, this architectural design was known as poteaux sur sole. However, if the posts or logs were placed directly in the soil, the design was known as poteaux en terre. The floor was either made from wood or clay. The chimney was made of stone.
Inside, the fireplace was used for both cooking food and heating the one-or two-room homes. Families slept on straw beds that were placed in an attic. The attic was relatively warm and served as protection from the night weather. When nightfall approached, most families went to bed because nothing could be done at night without the use of candles or lanterns. Wealthier settlers had stone homes with sheds, barns, and even slave quarters. Each home was enclosed by a picket fence near narrow streets.
The farm land was completely outside of the village. All of the settlers lived in the village community; no one lived out in a secluded farm house. The farm land was divided into two parts: the common field and the commons. The common field was cultivated by the settlers while the commons was the pasture and the place where wood was kept. Due to the crudeness and impracticality of French farming materials, food was not produced for sale. However, after evolving its farming process, the French region produced large food surpluses, and it became the French bread basket of North America. Wheat became the chief agricultural product. The French farmer worked on narrow strips of farm land. This enabled each farmer to have access to water. Instead of living on a farm alone and traveling to the town as the English colonial farmers did, the French lived in towns together and traveled out to the farms. At the time, the French appreciated the seclusion from the corruption of large cities in their rural setting. Because of the seclusion, however, the French had to become self-sufficient.
The French Empire in North America ended after the British won the French and Indian War in 1763. Several historic landmarks and the annual Guiannee survive to remind us of the once-prominent French in Illinois.—[From Clarence Walworth Alvord, The Illinois Country 1673-1818; Charles J. Balesi, The Time of the French in the Heart of North America; Margaret Kimball Brown, "La Guinee," Illinois Magazine; H. V. Church, Illinois; Edward F. Dunne, Illinois; Georgia M.

shouldn't it have a #3 phillips so you dont strip your screws?
I actually just use Kinco gloves and bake them myself but it ends up being the exact same glove.
There were only a few very cold days last year where i needed to use mittens instead of these. After a few uses, the leather molds to your hand. I can even text with these gloves on! Also mine have lasted over 100 days so far.
I will never buy an expensive glove again.

Awesome board. This is my 5th board this year; the others kept breaking. About two months in and it's holding up like a champ!

very soft, a lot of fun, and great for jibs. i broke mine after 3 weeks though.

so is this board a true twin?
is this a true twin or a directional twin?

comfortable boots, easy to get into. they seem to run a little larger than my other boots though. i've always worn 10 in forum and burton boots and got 28 mondo. prob could size down half a size or a whole size.

what kind of flex does this guy have?
What type of camber?
How stiff/soft?
Is this true twin?
0 Answers
These boots are very light, easy to put on and take off, i like the lacing system, and they are fairly comfortable to walk around in. The sole, however, is very very slick. not good for skating or hiking. I get better traction in my sneakers. Also this might be just my monitor, but the colors are brighter than they looked on my screen, especially the darker looking green.
0 Comments
so i'm not sure if this is the fault of the board or my bindings, but i have ride bindings and the screws are definitely too long. I'm gonna just grind em down i guess.also the nose of the board started to delaminate after a few runs. Also I cracked the sidewall and core, causing the base to peel off the edge. I did that on two separate occasions. i'll be sending it back and i'll try one more time.edit:i got a replacement for the delamming board, and the new one seems up to the task so far. Nice and soft and fun and i like the reg camber for cruising groomers. I've had Ride and K2 bindings on it so far and both came with screws that were too long. I went to a shop and had them grind down my screws until they no longer bottomed out. the stepchild rep told me union and burton screws should be the right size but i haven't checked it out myself.
edit #2:
i just broke the board again in the same way- sidewall, core, bent edge, separating base. i brought it to a shop and the guy had just fixed another board with the same damage and said it was due to a hard landing or nose or tail heavy landing and the board just cracks right next to the binding. looks like this thing really isnt very durable. if it's a park board it should be able to stand up to a few flat landings.
The stance width listed -22.2 in- is that the max width for the 153?
I keep this with me every day in my jacket pocket and get lots of use out of it. The other stuff that comes with it is cool too I guess. But if you want just the tool (which is sick), try lookin for it by itself to save some moneys.

it's great the way pictures of 'cage fighters' are springing up all over the place in the mainstream press. Everyday folk must be getting evermore used to seeing stuff like this - surely a creeping acceptance will follow?
God bless Alex Reid. I know it's not a popular opinion on here, but he has done so much for MMA in the UK, he's single-handedly pushed forward the timeline for the sport's acceptance by fuckin years.
Hope he either sorts out his troubles with the missus, or gets the world's biggest pay out and lives in luxury for the rest of his life.
if you think its easy stop now
no one achieved anything by doing nothing
never argue with a fool
if fighting is a pursuit rooted in pain, you will find the best teachers have often absorbed the most punishment themselves......and remained standing

The other day at Tottenham's training ground Harry Redknapp broke into a story about a young chap who had been pestering him for a trial. "I'm better than any of your players – let me prove it," the fan told Redknapp, who was managing Bournemouth at the time.
Most people in his position would have fobbed off the wannabe, or called security, but one morning Redknapp surrendered to the man's relentless enthusiasm. "Be here at 10am tomorrow and I'll have a look at you," he said. The next day, the triallist came panting on to the pitch an hour late to be told by his prospective boss. "I told you to be here at 10. It's 11 now. Go home, you're wasting my time."
"No, you don't understand, I had to wait for the post office to open so I could cash my giro and buy these boots," said the young hopeful, pulling the box out of his bag. Redknapp felt sorry for him again. "All right," he said, "I'm going to knock some balls to you and I want you to trap them and pass straight back to me."
The first ball bounced off the triallist. His return pass headed towards the car park. Same again, second time. Redknapp sighed and told him: "Look, if you give those boots a wipe, you can still get them back to the sports shop and get your money back." He was heaving with laughter at this memory, which returned to him when he saw a friend arriving at the Spurs training complex carrying a brand new pair of boots.
Recounting this tale, Redknapp was back in the old days, when life was a lot less serious, but he revealed something about his guiding spirit. The first point was that he respected the fan's desperate urge to play. Then he forgave him his breach of discipline (the late arrival) because it had stemmed from the same manic urge to be a footballer. Finally he had turned it into a funny anecdote about management and the endless search for talent, which is a form of gambling – an activity Redknapp also likes.
At the risk of inviting the hype police – these are only the quarter-finals, after all – it could be said all the themes in Redknapp's managerial career will converge in Madrid on Tuesday night, when an Englishman who has yet to finish higher than fourth in our top league will pit his instincts against the supremely calculating José Mourinho, whose club can parade nine European Cups.
In that vertiginous stadium, with the light bouncing off Real's white shirts, and Mourinho prowling, Redknapp will doubtless feel the deepest understanding of what he has been trying to do all his life: advance from the caricature of 'Arry (to be fair, the title of his own first autobiography) to be England's best club manager, which the Premier League table says he is.
He probably felt a frisson on his two visits to San Siro, when first Inter and then Milan stood in Tottenham's path. But this is an extra level up; the ultimate destination, if we put aside for a week the Barcelona hegemony. Spurs are a club with European blood. Since the early 1960s they have been seduced by continental adventures. So after the victory over Milan in the first knock-out round, Real Madrid's great heritage has cast a spell over White Hart Lane and over Redknapp, whose first game as a manager finished Lincoln City 9 Bournemouth 0. The next week brought improvement, though: Leyton Orient 5 Bournemouth 0.
Before Spurs, Redknapp would go along with the image of himself as a ducker and diver. In some ways he milked it. But when he ripped off his microphone and stomped off in disgust at being called a "wheeler‑dealer" in a post-match TV interview at the Lane you knew he had left the George Cole character behind. Late in life a chance has dropped for him to establish himself as one of the masters of Europe's stage. Beyond that lies a shot at the England job, which Mourinho might also fancy when he has conquered all club football's peaks.
In the Milan home game we saw proof that Redknapp is not the hopeless romantic he presents to European opposition to lull them into complacency.
Can't defend, won't defend? Spurs protected their goal demonically. The tactical changes Redknapp made after the interval restored territorial control. Rafael van der Vaart may say his manager never "bores" his players with "tactics" but that's not the same as sending them out on some fluffy mission to "enjoy" themselves.
The Redknapp style would be anathema to Mourinho, who plays the game in advance by devising a mathematical formula for victory. Redknapp, on the other hand, provides a basic framework but then pins his faith on individual talent, which he always backs to overcome structures and negation. The pest at the Bournemouth training ground might just have been Zico's long-lost brother. So he let him have a go.
Capello happy to pass Wilshere buck
Going case by case, Andy Carroll would play in this summer's European Under-21 Championship and Jack Wilshere would not, because Carroll is not yet an automatic starter with the seniors and has missed a chunk of the season through injury, while Wilshere is one of the first names on Fabio Capello's team-sheet and may appear in more than 60 matches in this campaign.
The point, as it would appear to any rational observer, is to qualify for and then try to win Euro 2012. Demoting Wilshere back to the Under-21s and thereby placing him on a treadmill for two years without interruption can only hinder that quest. In principle England should be sending strong teams to junior tournaments – as a developmental strategy – but Wilshere has already come through that system and emerged on the other side.
To flog a teenager who shone in two Champions League ties against Barcelona is irresponsible. Capello says he will leave the decision to Stuart Pearce, the Under-21 coach, which is odd, because he (Capello) has been telling anyone willing to listen that Wilshere could be exhausted by the time of the senior qualifier against Switzerland in June.

Chantal Thomass for THG: "Dress your bathroom in sensuality!"
Interview with Chantal Thomass in "Maison à Part"
Boulevard Haussmann, Paris. All windows are plunged into darkness except for one: that of the JCD showroom. Inside, cocktails are prepared, the spotlight shines, and the flash of the camera is on fashion designer Chantal Thomass; unveiling her new line of bathroom fittings and accessories for THG Paris. The collection features products that are chic and glamorous, like Thomass' world.
On hand to present the new additions that complement her existing line of bathroom accessories launched a year ago by THG, Thomass' emerging presence creates a liveliness in the room. For the occasion, the showroom has been completely transformed: the THG bathroom, as imagined by Chantal Thomass, has been installed prominently in the middle of the showroom — unveiling a unique universe in which women feel special. Here the elements of the collection are an anchor in pink, showing strength in femininity, yet the softness of a fainting couch… All presented next to a mannequin wearing lingerie designed by Chantal Thomass herself!
In the audience everyone is charmed by the creator, starting with Michel Gosse, General Director of THG: "Chantal Thomass knows women so well that she alone is capable of creating a world in which they feel good." Given the success of the original bathroom accessories created by the designer, Gosse decided to give Thomass the opportunity to make a complete range of bath fittings; most notably with the addition of the Glamour bathtub.
Suddenly, the star of the evening rises among the crowd. As usual, her hair is flawless and she wears a black suit topped by a pin-shaped flower. For a brief moment, we believe it is an apparition straight out of the Brothers Grimm tale: "her skin white as snow, lips red as blood, eyes and hair black as ebony"… Elegantly sitting on the edge of a bathtub, Maison à Part took the opportunity to learn more about the unique collaboration and Thomass' personal tastes in decorating, and she bows to the game of questions and answers…

- Time to achieve first trough concentration of >=10 ng/mL. Comparative number of dose changes in each arm post-transplantation. Number of patients with whole blood trough concentration above the recommended therapeutic range (>15 ng/mL)

|Primary Completion Date:
|October 2006 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
This study is a multicentre, open-label, prospective, 2-arm, phase IV study of tacrolimus in renal transplant recipients. Patients will be randomized to receive current clinical practice or to have a pre-transplant pharmacokinetic assessment of tacrolimus metabolism that will be used to guide post-transplantation tacrolimus dosing, with the aim of increasing the proportion of patients that achieve a tacrolimus whole blood trough level of >10 ng/mL by Day 3 post-transplantation. Patients randomized to Group 1 will take a single dose of tacrolimus (0.1 mg/kg) prior to transplantation and a blood sample will be taken to determine tacrolimus whole blood concentration at 2 hours post-dose. The result of this blood sample will be used to guide tacrolimus dosing post-transplantation. Patients that return a low tacrolimus blood concentration will have a post-transplantation starting dose of up to 0.3 mg/kg/day, whereas patients that return a high tacrolimus blood concentration will have a post-transplantation starting dose of 0.1 mg/kg/day. Patients randomized to Group 2 will also receive a single pre-operative dose of tacrolimus, but will not have their tacrolimus whole blood concentration measured at 2 hours post-dose. These patients will be managed as per standard care.
The primary objective of the trial is to compare, between the two groups, the proportion of patients that achieve a tacrolimus whole blood trough concentration of ³10 ng/mL by Day 3 post-transplantation. The hypothesis is that performing a tacrolimus whole blood concentration assessment 2 hours after a pre-operative dose (to guide tacrolimus dosing post-transplantation), will lead to an increase in the numbers of patients that achieve therapeutic blood concentrations post-transplant. The tacrolimus whole blood concentration at Day 3 post-transplantation is a marker of the risk of rejection and toxicity.
A substudy is being conducted which seeks to examine and compare clinical variability in absorption profile by measurement of the phenotype (blood levels) in kidney transplant recipients and determine the nature and extent of relationship with MDR-1 genotype, thus allowing the most predictive and cost effective method of determining tacrolimus dosing.
Pre-transplant: One single tacrolimus dose 0.1 mg/kg/day orally. Post-transplant: 0.15 - 0.3 mg/kg/day as two divided tacrolimus doses orally, the actual dose to be guided by the pre-transplant tacrolimus blood concentration.

COPPERAS COVE — The City Council on Tuesday approved a contract to allow Bell County Water Control and Improvement District No. 1 to handle its wastewater testing services.
The contract calls for WCID-1 to provide the service for about $31,000 annually.
That cost is less than one city employee and will help the city experience a cost savings of about $180,000 per year after a second contract is agreed upon for managing the city's biosolids, said City Manager Andrea Gardner.
"We already have the personnel to run the test," WCID-1 General Manager Jerry Atkinson said at an April meeting. "This is what we do. It is our job to be a regional water and wastewater facility."
He said the district has a biologist and a chemist on staff to handle the testing, which will replace the work city employees have been doing.
City staff who would be affected by outsourcing the testing services already have been moved to different departments, Gardner said. No one will lose his job because of the contract, and it is a cost savings to the city.
According to city information, Cove allocates about $462,000 a year for the services WCID-1 may provide after the second contract is completed.
Gardner said the second part of that contract should be completed in the near future.
"We still have to work on the composting (biosolids contract)," she said. "It is a little more complicated."
Another $1.19 million in savings is projected by not purchasing new city equipment and building and maintaining facilities after WCID-1 takes over the services, according to future improvement plans. If the city were to forgo outsourcing, that equipment would need to be replaced and facilities maintained to continue operations.
WCID-1's board still has to agree on the contract, Gardner said, adding that the contract is not yet final.

PALM HARBOR — When Calvary Christian junior golfer Lee McCoy was an infant, his parents used to flip through the television channels until golf popped on the screen, at which point McCoy would immediately perk up and become mesmerized by the action.
When his parents switched off golf, he cried.
At 18 months, McCoy received his first golf clubs, a plastic set he would hit back and forth from one neighbor's house to the next with remarkable accuracy and consistency.
He was a natural, people said, so much so that by age 3 McCoy was taking private lessons.
Since then, he has rarely left the course. A typical day for the 16 year old includes 50 or so practice strokes on the driving range, an 18-hole round in the early morning and another 18 holes in the evening on the Innisbrook South Course where the tee box for hole No. 7 sits a chip shot away from his back yard.
McCoy, it would appear, was born to play golf.
A year ago, McCoy, the Times' 2009 boys golfer of the year, finished tied for sixth in Class A after firing 1-over 145 through the two-day state tournament.
He enters the 2010 season as the county's best hope for an individual state championship.
But that's far from McCoy's mind. He just wants to play, to improve and to continue having fun with a game he knows so well.
"Everybody's real big on goal setting," McCoy said. "But my game is what it is. A goal's not going to help me hit a 7-iron 3 feet from the pin."
Make no mistake, though, McCoy is but one of a handful of golfers from across the state with a legit shot at the title.
Since last season, he has grown 3 inches. At 5-10, he's no longer the shortest guy on the course.
He's added anywhere from 15 to 25 yards to his drives, which might not be a factor on the short courses McCoy will play during the high school season but did help him qualify for the U.S. Junior Amateur for the second year in a row (he finished tied for 17th out of 156 golfers this year) and the Junior Player Championship at TPC Sawgrass in Ponte Vedra Beach next weekend.
He has developed his wedge game to the point where any shot rolling to a stop more than 10 feet from the hole is considered a failure. And his putting, which has always been a highlight of his game, remains consistent.
"(Putting) is the thing I practice the least, but it's the best part of my game," McCoy said.
McCoy orally committed to the University of Georgia on an unofficial visit shortly following his standout sophomore season. A native of Georgia, the Bulldogs were always his first choice. With his college decision already made, the pressure most high school golfers feel during the season has vanished.
Which should make McCoy an even more dangerous golfer as a junior.
"I want to stay below 75 for all my rounds this year," he said. "Last year I shot 75 or higher three times. I don't want that to happen this year."
Other players to watch
Taylor Hancock, Sr., Calvary Christian: With McCoy and Hancock, the Warriors have arguably the best 1-2 duo in the county.
Chase Harvey, Jr., Clearwater: Takes over top spot for the Tornadoes and will be a factor come tournament time.
Sebastian Hilpl, So., East Lake: Hilpl, along with fellow sophomore Zack Wood, form the nucleus of the new-look Eagles.
Kyle Kubala, So., Northeast: Fast-rising underclassman tied for third as a freshman at districts last year after firing 4-over 76.
Jack Maguire, So., St. Petersburg: Looking to return to state tournament after qualifying as an eighth-grader at Shorecrest.
M.J. Maguire, Sr., St. Petersburg: Has finished in the top 20 at states each of the past three seasons.
Ryan Mosley, Jr., Northeast: Itching to get back to states after qualifying two years ago as a freshman.
Andrew Norris, Jr., Dunedin: Out of the Falcons' top five from 2009, Norris is the lone returning starter.
Ryan Orr, So., Clearwater Central Catholic: Placed third at districts with 74 and led the Marauders with a 37.3 nine-hole stroke average last year.
Nick Quintessenza, Sr., Northside Christian: Shot 4-over par at states for Mustangs last season.
Christian Senger, Sr., Palm Harbor University: Recorded consecutive 78s at districts and regionals to help Hurricanes qualify for states.
Tyler Zacur, Sr., Seminole: The senior leader of a formidable Warhawks lineup.
Top teams (public schools)
Palm Harbor University: Hurricanes return four of their top five — Senger, Charlie Camisasca, Dustin Dingus and Colby Norris — from a team that captured PCAC and district titles.
St. Petersburg: Green Devils haven't made state as a team this century, but with the Maguire brothers at the top of the lineup, they'll be a major factor come playoff time.
Northeast: Vikings have as much upside as any team in the county and return four starters — Mosley, Kubala, Austin Stephens and Conner Chambers — from last year's district runnerup squad.
On the bubble: Dunedin, East Lake, Seminole
Top teams (private schools)
Calvary Christian: First-year coach Greg McClimans inherits a team loaded with proven veterans and up-and-coming youngsters. Warriors placed seventh at states in 2009.
Northside Christian: Mustangs are looking for a return trip to states and have a solid trio to build around in seniors Jeff Heinicka and Nick Quintessenza and freshman Anthony Quintessenza.
St. Petersburg Catholic: Barons return zero starters from the team that competed at districts last year but might have the county's best collection of talented underclassmen in sophomores Jamie Lincoln and M.J. Fiske and freshmen Clayton Spilman and Matthew Rothrock.
On the bubble: Clearwater Central Catholic, Shorecrest

Ray gave up one run in his major league debut and got
plenty of run support, especially from Miguel Cabrera, to help Detroit
rout the Houston Astros 11-4 on Tuesday night for its season-high
seventh straight win.
When Ray walked off the mound and toward the
dugout in the sixth inning, he was given a standing ovation by a crowd
that included his mother, father, fiancee and her family.
"I did enjoy it," he said. "I started tearing up a little bit."
of those same fans may have wondered what the Tigers were thinking when
they traded a 14-game winner to Washington for the 22-year-old Ray
during the offseason.
"I got the sense that before today, they didn't know who I was," Ray said.
Now, they know and 27,939 fans probably liked what they witnessed from the hard-throwing lefty.

responded well when Jose Altuve led off the game with a bloop down the
right field line, which he turned into a double. Dexter Fowler followed
with an infield single after Ray ran past first base when Cabrera tossed
him the ball. With the poise Ausmus predicted he would have, Ray struck
out the third and fourth batters in Houston's lineup and an
inning-inning groundout got him out of the jam.
"That was a big
inning," Houston manager Bo Porter said. "You have a guy who's making
his first major league start on the ropes with the middle of the order
coming up.
"But to his credit, he was able to get out of it."
former Nationals prospect had a shot to have a scoreless start, but
second baseman Ian Kinsler dropped a popup that allowed Fowler to score

shoulders," Tigers catcher Alex Avila said. "But people can't — or

Cabrera homered in the first inning for his first of four
hits and four RBIs. He raised his batting average to .293 after it was
.206 on April 21. The reigning two-time AL MVP, who matched a season
high with the four hits, had an RBI single in the seventh and a two-run
double in the eighth.
"Every player goes through a little bit of a
lull once in a while," Ausmus said. "It's just that I think Miggy has
set such a high standard that people don't expect it."
The Tigers

Shalom! The question that Yeshua/Christ asked, "Whom do they say that I am?" (Matthew 16:17) is still asked today; the answer is still "Thou art the Christ, the Son of the Living God."
In John 14:9, Yeshua is often misquoted as, "If you have seen Me, you have seen God." The actual scripture is, "If you have seen Me, you have seen the Father" as working through Him.
John 1:1 lists Yeshua as God, but not God/Elohim, as God describes Himself in Exodus 20:5 ("the Lord, thy God"). Strongs lists God in John 1:1 as thresheia (trace-Ku'-ah), a ceremonial observance, a religion, worshipping, as evolved from threskos (thrace-hos), ceremonious in worship/demonstration.
Isaiah 9:6 refers to the coming King/Messiah as Everlasting Father/Avi (patrimony/principal). Sterns Complete Jewish Bible translation gives this text Avi-Ad Sar Shalom (Wonder of a Counselor, etc.). The "Mighty God/El Gibbor" interpretation is anegkletos (an-eng'-klay-tos), meaning unaccused, blameless, irreproachable.
Scripturally, there is one God, Elohim, and one "only begotten Son," Savior/King of our hearts/lives. Some have described the God/Christ relationship as God the Father (company president) and His Son Yeshua (Head CEO), to which enterprise we are all called to work as Heirs in "the family business" through the empowerment of His Holy Spirit.
Considering then having "circumcised our hearts, not our flesh" (Romans 2:29), how do we consider ourselves spiritually (Catholic, Christian or Jew)?
Jews who have received Yeshua consider themselves Completed Jews, not Christians. We who are not ethnic Jews, but follow as disciples of a Jewish Lord, would not say we are Christian, but are spiritual "Jews," grafted in as part of Israel.
Let us walk unjudgmentally in the unity/love of Yeshua so the world will know Yeshua is from God (John 17).

Sophia Bush has petitioned to annul her five-month marriage to Chad Michael Murray
Shall we call it a "One Tree Hill" tragedy? Sophia Bush and Chad Michael Murray, they first met on the WB show in 2003 and since then embarked on a romance before finally tied the knot in April last year. Unfortunately, by September the same year they parted ways.
Just now, it's been learned that Bush is seeking to annul her five-month marriage to Murray, filed papers Friday in Los Angeles Superior Court citing "fraud" as the reason for wanting to clear the relationship from the books. In fact, A fraud claim can be "difficult to prove" for State law reads that a fraudulent marriage means "the consent of either party was obtained by fraud."
And so Bush will have to prove her case to the court otherwise if a judge denies her annulment request, she can seek a divorce from Murray.

Another semester of college means finding a new place to stay. Normally I would log into the schools housing website and find a place to live, but that was only because I was required to do so during my first two years at the school. Now that I am a junior, I don't have to do that anymore. The prices for housing outside of campus are much lower, so I looked through the Hattiesburg apartment guide to find a good place that would be close enough to the campus to minimize travel times to and from classes.
The closest apartment complex to the campus looked good from the guide. I took a tour of it to get a first hand impression, and it was everything I could ask for in an apartment. It had the right amenities, an area for washing clothes, a recreation space for having a little fun when classes are over, and even had a swimming pool. (more…)

Top Line: Free agent bargain shopping; Lindros in Hall of Fame?; more links
By Allan Muir
An annotated guide to this morning's must-read hockey stories:
• Have you ever tried shopping for one of the hottest toys on the night before Christmas and ended up settling for something else because that's all that was left on the shelves? Yeah, that's the feeling of futility that GMs are facing as they sort through the scraps of free agency.
• There's one name player still out there for the taking and he would be perfect for the Ottawa Senators.
• "A lot of players have done really well so far," says one player on the early free-agency spending spree.
• Amnesty buyouts were the best thing to happen to this year's crop of free agents. Don't forget, buyouts will be available next year, too.
• The Hall of Fame selection committee meets on Tuesday, and the worthiness of Eric Lindros is sure to be the most contentious debate. No argument here. He's a HOFer in my book.
• Mike Heika gives us the Dallas view of the latest Tyler Seguin imbroglio.
• The Bruins' decision to trade Seguin was based on too small a sample size and is sure to be a move they'll regret, writes Chris Gasper.
• Peter Chiarelli is gambling on experience over potential to get the Boston Bruins back to the Stanley Cup Final.
• More details are emerging on Daniel Alfredsson's decision to leave Ottawa and they don't reflect kindly on the team's management.
• The Senators look better on paper. But will they look better on the ice?
• The Blues have been the best small-budget team during the past couple of years. Now they'll finally get to see what it's like to be a club that spends to the cap.
• The only good news out of New York is that none of the Rangers' three prized RFAs have received an offer sheet ... yet.
• New Devil Ryane Clowe has heard the criticism. He can't wait for the chance to prove his doubters are wrong.
• Buffalo's move to re-acquire veteran defender Henrik Tallinder wasn't just about taking advantage of New Jersey's cap woes. It was about finding a way to get Tyler Myers back to the form he flashed as a Calder-winning rookie.
• Heritage is as important as upside to the Canadiens in the Daniel Briere deal.
• Robert Tychkowski writes that if Edmonton can't make the playoffs after eight years on the sidelines, it'll be pretty clear that something at the core of the hockey team is broken and the impending greatness that everyone talks about is never going to happen.
• A trio of Edmonton Oil Kings are among those with a chance to make an impression at the Oilers' rookie camp.
• Eleven months ago, Flyers prospect Nick Cousins was sitting in a jail cell. Now he's taking the next step to rebuilding his life.
• With Ryan Sproul and Martin Frk in attendance, Detroit's development camp has the organization excited about the future.
• Two prospects at the opposite ends of the development scale made their marks at the Canadiens' camp.
• Chuck Fletcher's desperation to add a tough player led to the signing of Matt Cooke. That decision won't sit well with Wild fans, writes Jim Souhan, and suggests tinkering for the sake of looking busy.
• After 11 seasons in Minnesota, it was time for a fresh start for Long Island-bound Pierre-Marc Bouchard.Joffrey Lupul trolled the advanced stats kids on Twitter Dirk Hoag writes that the numbers are useful Cam Charron writes that it's not all just
