The history of Birkenstock stems back an impressive 200 years, to their beginning in 1774. Johann Adam Birkenstock, a small-scale German shoemaker, first registered his businessintentsthis year and began creating shoes that took off in popularity. A short while later, Johann's Grandson developed insoles that were contoured and flexible, allowing for the first shoes with proper arch support to hit the market.Fromthen, it was purely a family affair, with other generations learning the trade and upholding the morals and ethics that they first started out with, growing into the inspiring brand it is today.

Topic: Hows this penny saver rig?
Posted: 10 May 2012 at 1:56pm
Semi hot room
Need to play Diablo 3, starcraft 2, dota 2, surfing, hulu on high settings (if not ultra)
Need to load stuff blazing fast
Resolution of monitor: 1680x1050 currently (if it dies i may upgrade to a 1900x1080 one)
I can't get the ODE because it does not have GTX 670 in it and last i heard its difficult to add parts after the v2.
So with that said:
1. I saved money by going with the Corsair Carbide 300R case instead of the HAF-X, is it a really bad choice or can i roll with it without stuff over heating? Any alternative choice since the HAFX is really expensive. But the 300R DOES seem cramped/narrow???
2. I saved money by going with 2600k, should i get the ivy bridge instead? i mean i WAS going to buy a computer from DS a couple months ago with the 2600k, so it shouldn't make a diff 3 months later....
3. I saved money by getting the 800w instead of the 750HX, that ok? i know about the warranty, but the cost
4. I need the blazing speed so I got the 520 series 120 gb BUT i did not get any HDD, is it easy to install an HDD on my own since I do not need to install an OS? is there still some "programming" i gotta go or is it plug and play and NO "partition or other bs"? Or should i just add the HDD 500 gb..?
5. I saved money by going the A70 instead of the D14. Question is, i thought they discontinued the A70??? As for the A50, is it even enough cooling for an overclock level 2? Because if A50 suffice I could save a bit more too!
6. I also saved money by going the NON SLI mobo, any objections? or should i get P8Z68-V LE (Intel Z68 Chipset) to save money money?
7. Should i get OC level 2 with my current cooling? or stick with level 1 ?

Hey darbedo. Your build looks good. For your budget you do have the gtx670. A big plus. If you don' t want sli then the mobo is fine. The case will work fine with the low thermals of the 670. If, when DS stress tests, they see a problem they will suggest a top fan. The A70 we were told months ago was gone. If not then you are good. If it is gone then use the A50 with stage 1 oc. You' ll have very good gaming. Good luck and keep us updated.

Another question, in my quest to save more money, how big of a diff is it if i were to downgrade the i2600k to i5 3570K?
It saves me $95 , is it really noticible?

I read online somewhere that "Get the i5.
The only thing you will ever notice the i7 ever being better is when your doing extensive video editing."
if thats the case and the computer is for my wife, would the i5 suffice WITHOUT giving up the "blazing fast" load speed assuming i keep the ssd?
Also, if i go with the i5, can the OC level 1 be done or is it too dangerous?

For gaming you'll never see the difference. Go with the i5. Oc level 1 is no problem.

OC lv 1 on i5 is safe. And you have DS to back you up with their stress test.
Edit* Bprat got to it.
As for SSD, DST used to call it a balancing act between all the components. You don't need it, but you will notice a difference after "backing OUT" of using an SSD.
Once you use it, you'll get hooked

Thank you guys, more questions:
This is the new rig i came up with to further save cost after your input
SO i lowered to the i5.
The only "big" cost cutting i can do is the lowering from gtx 670 to the 570.
My question is, is this a really bad choice to lower it to save $100?
I mean, i was going to get the rig w/the 570 1.5 months ago, so....had i not waited, i woulda ended up with the 570's anyway....
also, gtx 570 > diablo 3 in high setting in a 1680x1020 resolution correct?
But....should i pay an additional $40 for the $7870 since the 570 IS INDEED a late 2010 product?
I read:
"The 7870 loses to the 570 in BF3. 15% more in price for 9% more performance before overclocking...Nope."
"HD 7870 is faster. For $50 i would get it since it has more vRAM and more room for improvement."
I need this rig to last at least 3.5 to 4 years without slowing and dying.
Thank you!!

So I used to have a few champ rhynos from back in the '05-'06 time and they were overstable pigs that had no glide. Having had a noodle arm at that time, I gave 'em up. Now that my power is almost double what it was then, I'm missing their "I'm not gonna fly one inch further" mentality. Are the current rhynos the same or have they changed? Anyone know? If there is a certain type to have, what is it?
Thanks for the help!

He is not exactly pushing himself here. Korean director Kim Jee-woon's American filmmaking debut turns out to be an extremely typical Schwarzenegger film, full of big, violent set pieces and broad comedy. He may look a little creaky these days, but Arnold proves he's still game for the mayhem as he fires off rounds and tosses off one-liners, and the movie at least has the decency to acknowledge that it knows that you know that he's old.
The script also feels a bit old — "The Last Stand" is essentially an amped-up version of "Rio Bravo," with some "Jackass"-style hijinks courtesy of Johnny Knoxville himself. But Kim keeps things moving briskly and the members of the strong supporting cast don't seem to mind that they're playing flimsy types. Everyone's just here for a good time.
Schwarzenegger stars as Ray Owens, sheriff of the tiny Arizona border town of Sommerton Junction, the kind of place where everyone knows everybody and locals sit around the diner trading jokes. That's why the sheriff is suspicious of some visitors sharing a booth over breakfast one morning — they clearly don't belong there.
Andrew Knauer's script makes some mention of Owens' past career as a decorated L.A. police narcotics detective, which is intended to explain why this mild-mannered guy with the accent is such a tough dude.
Turns out these new folks (led by Peter Stormare) are there laying the groundwork for Mexican drug kingpin Gabriel Cortez (Eduardo Noriega), who's just escaped federal custody in Las Vegas. He's headed straight for the border at Sommerton with a hostage in the passenger seat in a stolen, souped-up Corvette that can reach speeds of 250 mph.
While FBI agent John Bannister (Forest Whitaker) and his crew try in vain to chase Cortez, the sheriff and his makeshift posse set up a barricade. And they wait.
His team consists of the innocent newbie (Zach Gilford), the grumpy old pro (Luis Guzman), the pretty female deputy (Jaimie Alexander), her screw-up ex-boyfriend who is in the town's lone jail cell (Rodrigo Santoro) and the wacko with an arsenal who gives his weapons pet names (Knoxville).
The shootouts and showdowns are muscular, high-energy and consist of an insane amount of gunfire, although there are some bursts of squirm-inducing, creative carnage.
Much of the hand-to-hand combat is shot and edited in a way to obscure what Arnold is actually doing while creating the illusion that he's kicking all kinds of butt. Far more effective is a clever, intimate car chase through a cornfield that's thrilling and suspenseful.
That this scrappy band of underdogs can take out the more technologically advanced villain and his crew should come as no surprise. It's as predictable as Arnold saying he'll be back, and making good on that.

Dodgers set for first game with new replay system
GLENDALE, Ariz. -- The Dodgers get their first game with the expanded instant-replay rules on Thursday when they play the Angels in Tempe.
The Dodgers have five Cactus League games in which replay will be used: March 11 vs. the Royals, March 12 vs. the D-backs, March 15 vs. the White Sox and March 16 vs. the Rockies.
The system will be in place for all three Freeway Series exhibition games against the Angels, but not in Australia for the two regular-season games in the Opening Series against the D-backs.
Manager Don Mattingly said video coordinator John Pratt will serve as the video specialist in the clubhouse in communication with the dugout for replay challenges on Thursday. The club has not named the person who will be in that role for the regular season.

Organizing The Old Supplies First
Lately, I've been cleaning and organizing some of my scrapbook supplies. As I've mentioned in the past, I have enough products to open my own store. I think I'm more of a scrapbook supply collector than anything. Or rather I used to be. Since I've been going through everything I've come across many supplies I had either forgotten I had, or if I remembered I had them, I wasn't using them. Not a very frugal way to scrapbook. I guess I need to start practicing what I preach. But regardless, I was faced with loads of old supplies I needed … Continue reading

From algae biofuels to cell phones, San Diego may be best known for its wireless and life science innovation. Here are other areas that people at the heart of San Diego's life science, technology, art, venture capital and research worlds say are ripe with new ideas:
Inside Innovation, an occasional series
• The San Diego Zoo is reaching beyond the traditional mission of a zoo with the Global Centre for Bioinspiration, says Charles Curbbun, CEO of DDSTUDIO, an industrial design and user experience company. Examples of how nature can inspire design include swimsuits based on shark skin, cosmetics based on iridescent insect surfaces and wireless networks based on ant colonies.
• The region is a leader in the new field of diagnostic and personalized medicine, says David Titus, president of the San Diego Venture Group.
• From golf clubs to cars to wine appreciation gear, San Diego companies have made their mark on many consumer products. The region is also on the map for new takes on fast food, with test kitchens for Jack in the Box and Rubio's.
• For decades San Diego's defense sector produced technology that define "cutting edge." It continues to foster seismic advances, says Mary Walshok, an associate vice chancellor at UC San Diego and an authority on innovation. A recent example of technology crossing from defense into other potential uses: drones.
• People think of the arts as inherently creative, but they can be as unimaginative as the next field. But the La Jolla Playhouse routinely takes risks on new plays — risks that are sometimes rewarded with Broadway runs.
• As for classical music, the San Diego Chamber Orchestra re-branded itself as Orchestra Nova, with zany performance concepts. (It later folded.) The San Diego Opera features both old and new music, including a mariachi opera this year. And the La Jolla Symphony and Chorus doesn't shy away from tradition shattering pieces. One was the world premiere of the Concerto for Florist and Orchestra.
Here are some fields in need of innovation, say people who practice or study cutting edge topics.
• The region's local and county governments are more risk-averse than entrepreneurial, Walshok says.
• Tourism could use a shake-up, Curbbun says. One idea he has is to create new experiences for tourists — experiences that help people move through the city and decide how to spend their time here.
• The region's land use and attitude toward the natural environment is not forward-thinking, says Steven Schick, a composer and music professor at UC San Diego.
• Digital media and social media are more innovative in West Los Angeles and Silicon Valley respectively, Titus says.
• From kindergarten through college, San Diego schools are not equipped to nurture tomorrow's innovators, Walshok says.

If I like it and wait a while and unlike it, will she notice? THIS ANXIETY AND AANGST RIGHT NOW! You'd think I was about to be made to answer phones omg!
She liked it, people. (At least I think that's what she was talking about.)
LOL. Sorry to out you.
Good grief. Do you people not know any passive aggressive behavior?
Like it. Then in few weeks if it still pains your soul, unlike it. If she calls you out... "Really? FB has been acting up for me." If you must say more, "I can't always tell what is going at fb from my phone." (I don't really know if you mostly use your phone, but if she doesn't know your feelings on canned "whipped cream", margarine, instant pudding, and OMG the horrors of cake mix, she probably won't know, either.)
And that my friends, is passive aggressive behavior. Your welcome.
For goodness sakes, it is not like you have to answer the damn phone.

Facial expression
(Redirected from Expressions)
Facial expression is the combination of motions or positions of the muscles in the skin that conveys the emotional state of the individual to observers. Facial expressions are a form of nonverbal communication.
- Through the principle of associated habit, the same movements of the face and eyes are practised, and can, indeed, hardly be avoided, whenever we know or believe that others are blaming, or too strongly praising, our moral conduct.
- Charles Darwin, in The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals (1872), Chapter XIII: "Self-attention — Shame — Shyness — Modesty: Blushing", p. 347
- The young and the old of widely different races, both with man and animals, express the same state of mind by the same movements.
- Charles Darwin, in The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals (1872), Chapter XIV: "Concluding Remarks and Summary", p. 352
- "We know this to be a primary autonomic response, the so called 'shame' or 'blushing' reaction to a morally shocking stimulus. It can't be controlled voluntarily, as can skin conductivity, respiration, and cardiac rate." He showed her the other instrument, a pencil-beam light. "This records fluctuations of tension within the eye muscles. Simultaneous with the blush phenomenon there generally can be found a small but detectable movement of...
- "And these can't be found in androids," Rachael said.
- "They're not engendered by the stimuli-questions; no. Although biologically they exist. Potentially."
- Reaction time is a factor in this so please pay attention. Answer as quickly as you can.
- Rick, selecting question three, said, "You are given a calfskin wallet on your birthday." Both gauges immediately registered past the green and onto the red; the needles swung violently and then subsided.
- "I wouldn't accept it," Rachael said. "Also I'd report the person who gave it to me to the police."
- After making a jot of notation Rick continued, turning to the eighth question of the Voigt Kampff profile scale
- You've got a little boy. He shows you his butterfly collection plus the killing jar. What do you do?
- "I'd take him to the doctor." Rachael's voice was low but firm. Again the twin gauges registered, but this time not so far. He made a note of that, too.
- You're watching television. Suddenly you realize theres a wasp crawling on your arm.
- Rachael said, "I'd kill it." The gauges, this time, registered almost nothing: only a feeble and momentary tremor. He noted that and hunted cautiously for the next question.
- "In a magazine you come across a full-page color picture of a nude girl." He paused.
- "Is this testing whether I'm an android," Rachael asked tartly, "or whether I'm homosexual?" The gauges did not register.
- He continued, "Your husband likes the picture." Still the gauges failed to indicate a reaction. "The girl," he added, "is lying face down on a large and beautiful bearskin rug." The gauges remained inert, and he said to himself, An android response. Failing to detect the major element, the dead animal pelt. Her — its — mind is concentrating on other factors.
- "Your husband hangs the picture up on the wall of his study," he finished, and this time the needles moved.
- "I certainly wouldn't let him," Rachael said.
- "Okay," he said, nodding "Now consider this. You're reading a novel written in the old days before the war. The characters are visiting Fisherman's Wharf in San Francisco. They become hungry and enter a seafood restaurant. One of them orders lobster, and the chef drops the lobster into the tub of boiling water while the characters watch."
- "Oh god," Rachael said. "That's awful! Did they really do that? It's depraved! You mean a live lobster?" The gauges, however, did not respond. Formally, a correct response. But simulated.
- "You rent a mountain cabin," he said, "in an area still verdant. It's rustic knotty pine with a huge fireplace."
- "Yes," Rachael said, nodding impatiently.
- "On the walls someone has hung old maps, Currier and Ives prints, and above the fireplace a deer's head has been mounted, a full stag with developed horns. The people with you admire the decor of the cabin and you all decide — "
- "Not with the deer head," Rachael said. The gauges, however, showed an amplitude within the green only.
- "You become pregnant," Rick continued, "by a man who has promised to marry you. The man goes off with another woman, your best friend; you get an abortion and—"
- "I would never get an abortion," Rachael said. "Anyhow you can't. It's a life sentence and the police are always watching." This time both needles swung violently into the red.
- "How do you know that?" Rick asked her, curiously. "About the difficulty of obtaining an abortion?"
- "Everybody knows that," Rachael answered.
- "It sounded like you spoke from personal experience."' He watched the needles intently; they still swept out a wide path across the dials. "One more. You're dating a man and he asks you to visit his apartment. While you're there he offers you a drink. As you stand holding your glass you see into the bedroom; it's attractively decorated with bullfight posters, and you wander in to look closer. He follows after you, closing the door. Putting his arm around you,he says — "
- Rachael interrupted, "What's a bullfight poster?"
- "Drawings, usually in color and very large, showing a matador with his cape, a bull trying to gore him." He was puzzled. "How old are you?" he asked; that might be a factor.
- "I'm eighteen," Rachael said. "Okay; so this man closes the door and puts his arm around me. What does he say?"
- Rick said, "Do you know how bullfights ended;"
- "I suppose somebody got hurt."
- "The bull at the end, was always killed." He waited, watching the two needles. They palpitated restlessly, nothing more. No real reading at all. "A final question," he said. "Twopart. You are watching an old movie on TV, a movie from before the war. It shows a banquet in progress; the guests are enjoying raw oysters."
- "Ugh," Rachael said; the needles swung swiftly.
- "The entree," he continued, "consists of boiled dog, stuffed with rice." The needles moved less this time, less than they had for the raw oysters. "Are raw oysters more acceptable to you than a dish of boiled dog? Evidently not." He put his pencil down, shut off the beam of light, removed the adhesive patch from her check. "You're an android," he said. "That's the conclusion of the testing."
- "My briefcase," Rick said as he rummaged for the Voigt -Kampff forms. "Nice, isn't it? Department issue."
- "Well, well," Rachael said remotely.
- "Babyhide," Rick said. He stroked the black leather surface of the briefcase. "One hundred percent genuine human babyhide." He saw the two dial indicators gyrate frantically. But only after a pause. The reaction had come, but too late. He knew the reaction period down to a fraction of a second, the correct reaction period; there should have been none.
- "Thanks, Miss Rosen," he said, and gathered together the equipment again; he had concluded his retesting. "That's all."
- Mr. Freeze: You beg? In my nightmares I see my Nora behind the glass, begging to me with frozen eyes. How I've longed to see that look frozen on you.
- Batman: The Animated Series Heart of Ice written by Paul Dini
- Yeah, body language completely lost…
- Michael J. Fox [1]
- Deckard: You're in a desert, walking along in the sand when all of a sudden you look down and see a tortise, The tortoise lays on its back, its belly baking in the hot sun, beating its legs trying to turn itself over. But it can't. Not without your help. But you're not helping. Why is that?
- Deckard: Describe in single words, only the good things that come into your mind about your mother.

- There yet appeared some touch of their delicate lineaments, preserving the sweetness of proportion, and expressing itself beyond expression.

- A motion picture must be true to life. If a picture portrays a false emotion it trains people seeing it to react abnormally.
- William Moulton Marston The Secret History of Wonder Woman (2014) by Jill Lepore, p. 136.
- A nervous tic, an unconscious look of anxiety, a habit of muttering to yourself—anything that carried with it the suggestion of abnormality, of having something to hide. In any case, to wear an improper expression on your face (to look incredulous when a victory was announced, for example) was itself a punishable offence. There was even a word for it in Newspeak: FACECRIME, it was called.
- Patience and sorrow strove
Who should express her goodliest. You have seen
Sunshine and rain at once: her smile and tears
Were like a better way.

Intervention Details:Detailed Description:
Device: TheraSphere®
TheraSphere® consists of insoluble glass microspheres where yttrium-90 is an integral constituent of the glass. TheraSphere® is delivered into the liver tumor through a catheter placed into the hepatic artery. This artery provides the main blood supply to the tumor in the liver. TheraSphere® being unable to traverse the tumor vasculature is embolized within the tumor and exerts a local beta radiation radiotherapeutic effect with relatively limited concurrent injury to surrounding normal tissue.
The purpose of this protocol is to provide supervised access at this institution to TheraSphere® treatment for a heterogeneous population of patients with unresectable primary liver tumors, with the liver being the only dominant site of disease. Based on experience gained in previous studies and well-established interventional radiology techniques, this protocol allows multiple treatments with TheraSphere® that may be delivered on an inpatient or out patient basis. Patients may receive a single dose to the whole liver, or lobar treatment delivered as a sequence of treatments approximately 30 - 90 days apart. The investigator, working with co-investigators in radiation oncology, interventional radiology and nuclear medicine, will develop a specific treatment plan for each patient, based upon the presenting condition of the patient, the vascular anatomy, and the desired goal of treatment.

LoBue Citrus is now shipping its Heritage Reserve navels.
Fruit began shipping the last week in February, according to a news release from Lindsay, Calif.-based LoBue. The deal is expected to run through early April, and quality is expected to peak on 113s, 88s and other smaller fruit.
Heritage Reserves are grown in a narrow, 20-mile-long stretch of groves near the western foothills of California's Sequoia National Park.
The groves were planted between 1898 and 1960 and have never been replanted. Sandy soils have been credited as a factor in the variety's flavor.
"Each season we receive letters and emails from consumers raving about how much they love Heritage Reserve navel oranges," Rick Osterhues, vice president of sales and marketing at LoBue Citrus, said in the release.
LoBue's Heritage Reserve program is supported by high-graphic packaging, point of sale materials and merchandise bins. Quick response codes on packages and point of sale materials link to a video where LoBue family members talk about the history of the legacy groves.

All applications will be reviewed and considered however if you are playing a class/spec combination we need then your chances of joining will be higher.
A little bit of info about us:
We are a group of friends and serious raiders on EU Twisting Nether looking to recruit skilled like-minded players into our roster for Mythic Legion raids and onwards. We will offer a sociable and fun raiding environment while maintaining a strong desire for progression. Our Discord is very active and we encourage all members to chat and play together not only for raids. The guild formed late March 2016 and fully cleared 13/13 Mythic Hellfire Citadel pre nerf shortly after. We've since been improving our world ranking every tier.
We currently raid 3 days per week on Mythic: Wednesday, Sunday and Tuesday 19:15-22:15 server time. While it is not a lot we try to make the most out of our time. We run optional heroic/normal/alt/previous tier raids during off days in which raiders are welcome to come to. Our members also play other games outside raid times together where anyone is welcome to join(LoL, Dota, HotS, Overwatch etc.).
Our loot system for Mythic is RC Loot Council.
What we expect from you:
- We are a raiding guild with only a 9 hour per week schedule so you are expected to attend and be ON TIME! However we understand things can come up sometimes but please let us know.
- Be able to speak and understand the English language and not be afraid to communicate with other members during raids.
- Actively doing dungeons/world quests to improve your gear and artifact weapon.
- Have a strong understanding of the current raid tier and be able to play your class to it's potential.
- Always come to raids prepared(i.e. bringing food and potions, etc).
- Come fully gemmed and enchanted with the correct stats for your class and spec.
- Access to Discord and a working microphone.
- Have a computer that can handle 20 man raiding and a good, stable internet connection.
- Exorsus Raid Tools, Weakauras2 and RC Loot Council addons installed. We may ask you to install others.
If you have any further questions please contact us at battletags: Vims#21684 Azkey#21565

Requirements to be considered into current main raids:
- 920~ ilvl

Hey everyone, I thought I would post up my deck. Its nothing crazy new, just a revamped secrets deck for the new expansion and is working fairly well for me.
By Treylawny
<Trust> may be what you're looking for if you enjoy killing internet dragons with a group of like minded players! Currently we are 8/9 Heroic, soon to be stepping into Mythic ToS. We are recruiting to finish rounding out our raid team. <Trust> is located on the [US] Doomhammer/Baelgun pve servers, alliance side! Check us out!
About Us:
<Trust> is a recently formed guild, founded by a group of long time players that have been raiding together for a couple of years now. Founded out of a desire to continue raiding in a casual-progression manner, we work towards defeating mythic bosses. <Trust> is a raiding guild, first and foremost.
Our Raids:
<Trust> maintains a progression-oriented 2-day semi-casual raiding team. That's 'semi' as in we expect our team members to always prioritize life first; but not 'casual' as in we take downing bosses less seriously. We strive to maintain a balance of taking our progression raids seriously while having plenty of laughs along the way.
Raid Schedule:
Tuesday & Thursday: 5p – 8p server (8p – 11p eastern)
Friday(optional): 5p – 8p server (8p – 11p eastern)
<Trust> is looking for full time Resto Druid, Mages, Hunters, and Warlocks for our raid team. We are also open for good people to join as casual players, pvpers, with the option to join farm content or alt raids.

The number of West Virginia electricity customers without power had dropped to about 30,000 as of 10 p.m. Wednesday, down from the nearly 39,000 in the dark five hours earlier.
The outages followed two days of severe storms hitting the state. The National Weather Service had issued a severe thunderstorm watch for Central West Virginia that remained in effect until 9 p.m. Wednesday.
A band of thunderstorms stretching from the Great Lakes to the Gulf of Mexico began passing through West Virginia at about 8 p.m. Tuesday, bringing high winds and heavy rains and knocking out power lines in its path.
Although repair crews were making progress restoring power to customers knocked out by the overnight storm, thousands of customers remained in the dark Wednesday afternoon, before more storms were expected to roll in.
Appalachian Electric Power's website listed about 22,000 West Virginia customers without power as of 10 p.m. About 3,800 were from Kanawha County.
Also hard hit were Cabell County, with 6,100 customers in the dark, Wayne County, with 3,100 customers out, and Logan County, with about 2,800 out.
Since 5 p.m., the number of outages in Cabell had decreased by about 2,000 customers, while the outages in Kanawha had decreased by 3,200.
On the other hand, FirstEnergy, which supplies electricity to much of the northern part of the state, seemed to be facing increasing issues as the night wore on.
It reported about 5,600 customers without power as of 5 p.m. but more than 8,000 as of 10 p.m.
The largest outages were in Monongalia County, with 2,200 outages, Jefferson County, with 1,400 outages, and Ritchie County, with 800 outages.

CHILDHOOD memories will be spurring on one competitor in this year's Ironman UK at Pennington Flash.
Tony Lonergan emigrated to Canada but will return to Leigh to run, swim and cycle around the area he grew up in and he is hoping some old friends will be there to cheer him on.
It will be Tony's 10th triathlon after his wife Sharon – who will also take part – inspired him to take on the challenge, despite his fear of swimming.
The 63-year-old said: "I moved to Kelowna British Columbia in 1971 as I saw more opportunities over here than in UK at that time. I have never looked back but I have very fond memories of Leigh.
"My best memories are from my teenage years, going to Leigh Casino and The Garrick Club, Bedford Youth Club, fishing at the flash and on the canal and let's not forget the Good Fridays at Rivington Pike. Some of these places are part of the course and that is the biggest reason I want to do this race.
"I miss the close friends I grew up with and have lost track of some of them but hopefully some of them will come and cheer me on."
Tony and Sharon will swim 2.4 miles in Pennington Flash, followed by a 112-mile bike ride before finishing in Bolton town centre after a 26.2-mile run.
When Sharon first competed in a triathlon, Tony thought she was mad for wanting to swim in open water – but he soon overcame his fear to join her.
He said: "I was so scared and anxious about the swim in my first triathlon but when I completed it I was probably the happiest guy on the planet.
"I had done something I never imagined I could and it felt fantastic."
The event will be held on July 20.

The United States Marine Corps is a flexible organization, capable of dealing with most threats with or without direct support from other military services and allies. Its role has grown in recent years and whereas it has traditionally lagged behind the US Army when waiting for new technologies to spread through its ranks, the USMC is now regarded as the leader in many areas of development, though it still has to fight for the funding required for this research. Though still regarded as the weakest of the services, it has access to many support elements that other nations can only supply through different branches of their armed services.

Halos flourishing with runners in scoring position
ARLINGTON -- The Angels' surge to the Major Leagues' second-best record behind American League West rival Oakland has been fueled by a variety of forces, not the least of which is an offense that has been punishing pitching staffs -- especially in clutch situations.
Over their past 23 games, an 18-5 stretch lifting them to 55-37, the Angels are batting .296 with 30 homers, averaging 6.1 runs per game. They're hitting .381 in 160 at-bats with runners in scoring position, emulating the 2013 Cardinals, who hit an unprecedented .330 for the season with men on second and/or third.
Only the Tigers, at .283, have a higher season average with runners in scoring position in the AL than the Angels' .272 mark. Not so coincidentally, Detroit's 27 comeback wins tie the Angels for the most in the Majors.
"Early in the year, guys were struggling with runners in scoring position," said leadoff man Kole Calhoun, hitting .297 with a .963 OPS and 16 RBIs in 37 opportunities in those situations. "Right now, with everybody swinging the bat well as a whole, we're feeling confident in those situations. Everybody's calming down too, getting their pitches to hit. With us playing so well, it kind of takes the pressure off."
Overall, the Angels lead the Majors in runs scored (463), rank third in batting average (.267), on-base percentage (.332) and slugging (.427) and are fifth in the Majors in homers with 101.
"A lot of guys are taking their walks, going first to third, doing a bunch of different stuff well," Calhoun said. "When you're playing good, it all seems to come together."
The June 25 return from femur surgery of hitting coach Don Baylor, with his vast experience and wisdom, appears to have had a positive imprint. The Angels lead the Majors in average (.306), runs (105) and slugging (.472) since the return of the venerable "Groove."

Innovative Technologies
Innovation has always been at the heart of Lotus and is needed now more than ever as the automotive world faces up to new environmental challenges. Whether it is new technologies in engine design or control, changes to automotive energy sources or examining and pushing the boundaries of new types of vehicles such as electric cars and hybrids, we are at the forefront of many automotive technologies.
We have always recognised that lighter vehicles are cleaner and more efficient,and this is more relevant today than ever before. That is why we continue to evolve our use of aluminium and bonding techniques, the end results of which will be seen in a variety of exciting production cars launched in the coming years. We are also looking at ways to make lightweight structural composites viable for higher volume applications.
Sustainable materials are now an important part of our research activity, and across all aspects of transport technology we are developing detailed understanding of the whole life cycle impact of transport technologies on the environment.

RICHMOND Town lost their second cup semi-final in a week at Ryhope Colliery Welfare last Saturday.
With a strong wind blowing from one end of the pitch to the other, this was always going to be a game of two halves; Ryhope going in at half time 3-0 up with wind playing a part in all their first half goals. The killer goal came just after the break when Martin Metcalfe's powerful shot into the wind made it 4-0. The Dalesmen managed three second- half goals with the wind behind them but just couldn't do enough to take the game into extra time.
Ryhope's first two goals were almost carbon copies of each other. Both came from corners floated into the area with first Scott Donaldson's header going in off the bar and then Jack Pounder heading home after the Richmond defence failed to clear.
Nathan O'Neill's long-range punt would not normally have troubled Adam Cunningham in the Richmond goal, but a sudden gust took the ball beyond the 'keeper's reach and into the back of the net just after the half-hour mark.
Town's fight back began within a minute of Metcalfe's 51st minute strike. Kalumn Holbrook scored from the spot after Ben Darville had been brought down in the area.
When centre-back Simon Pinkney then blasted the ball in from a Liam Darville header in the 72nd minute, the Dalesmen must have sensed a cup comeback on the cards.
Shots flew in from all angles from Holbrook, Richard Thompson and even a curling effort from near the half way line from captain Jason Newall; though none of them seriously tested Ryan Graham in the Ryhope goal.
In the second minute of injury time it was a moment of farce that led to a thrilling finish.
With the wind gusting into his face, Graham tried to launch the ball out of the area, only for it to thunder against the chest of Richmond winger Michael Layfield and fly into the back of the net.
Richmond made one final effort to score an equaliser as the added time ticked away, but even with everyone forward, Scott McNichol's lastgasp effort was easily saved by Graham.

Kidney Diseases
Fetal Fluid Behind the Kidneys
My daughter in law is 4 1/2 months pregnant and they found fluid behind the kidneys of the fetus yesterday at her ultrasound? Is this something to be concerned about? They are having her make an appt. with a fetal specialist.
I am puzzled by the description of fluid behind the kidneys. A common finding in prenatal ultrasound studies is fluid within the kidney or kidneys. The medical term for this is hydronephrosis. Prenatal hydronephrosis affects approximately 1 in 50 to 1 in 100 fetuses. Usually it is mild and insignificant, but in some cases it is severe and requires surgical correction. "Fluid behind the kidneys" suggests that the kidney has ruptured and that urine is building up around the kidney or kidneys. This condition is rare. but needs immediate treatment shortly after delivery. Usually there are other findings, such as a distended bladder, and the amniotic fluid volume often is low. The amount of amniotic fluid (normal or low) tends to correlate with the severity of the condition; if the fluid is reduced, then often surgery is necessary, whereas if the amniotic fluid volume is normal, then the majority do not need surgery. A complete evaluation of the urinary tract is performed after delivery.

[Editor's Note: over at my personal genealogy blog – Destination: Austin Family – I describe how I found Meet Meme and ordered my set of Personal Edition Cards]
So, if you are now familiar with the Meet Meme cards – what I call "business cards on social media steroids," how could they be used by individual genealogists, groups such as GeneaBloggers as well as by genealogy events such as Southern California Genealogical Society Jamboree and Family History Expos?
Here are some ideas – and I encourage any readers to help brainstorm ideas by entering info in the comments:
- A professional genealogist could easily use these as business cards. The cards contain all pertinent data such as email, website URL and even Twitter information. These cards are multi-faceted in terms of the information they can convey.
- A genealogy vendor could have the Meet Meme cards "branded" with their company information and hand them out at events such as conferences and expos. In fact, the "collect 'em all" phrase could have new meaning: hold a contest where attendees have to meet all your staff and collect the cards to win a prize.
- A genealogy event could have cards made for attendees in place of conference badges. Plus a conference could also offer the attendee the option of purchasing additional cards on their own.
- Other ideas for events include using the Meet Meme cards for ice breakers as well as having a poster displaying all attendee cards.
While I could probably create my own business cards with all these social media "hooks," Meet Meme has simplified the process. They help you to pull info from the various social media sites that you already use. The Meet Meme cards also have fun features like "special powers" – in fact I can only think about the "special powers" that some of our members would list!
* * *
Take a minute to read the post over at Destination: Austin Family and then contact Meet Meme at their site. I know that I'm going to use the Meet Meme cards for future venues and I can't wait to see the ideas that other genealogists come up with!
Disclaimer: I contacted Meet Meme about receiving a complimentary set of 40 Personal Edition Cards at no cost to me. This material connection had no effect on the outcome of the above product review and the review was performed based on the merits of the product. See Disclosure Statements for more information on the material connections I have with various genealogy and non-genealogy vendors.

American Pie (1999)
36 mistakes
Directed by: Paul Weitz
Starring: Alyson Hannigan, Chris Klein, Eddie Kaye Thomas, Eugene Levy, Jason Biggs, Mena Suvari, Natasha Lyonne, Seann William Scott, Shannon Elizabeth, Tara Reid, Thomas Ian Nicholas
Continuity mistake: In the bedroom scene the girl is holding a clear cup full of beer. The camera goes off her and when it comes back she is holding a blue cup. The camera goes back off her then on her and the cup is clear again. [This mistake does not appear in the unrated version - the blue cup scenes were shot specifically to secure an R rating from the MPAA because the contents are obscured.].
Continuity mistake: When Stifler's mom seduces Finch, you can clearly see Finch playing with the balls on the pool table. The camera cuts to another shot, and when it's back to Finch, the balls are back in the original place.
Continuity mistake: When Finch is moping through the house, depressed, he goes through a door marked "keep out". The door handle is on the left side, meaning that from inside the room the handle must be on the right. However, when he plays with the pool balls, we can see that the door he must just have come through (there's no other door visible) has the handle on the left.
Continuity mistake: Around the middle of the film, Oz's shirt changes going from the car park to the library, and then back again when he's singing in the classroom.
Visible crew/equipment: When Jim walks to Nadia the first time - right after he trips on the couch - a light stand is seen right at the left edge of the screen. This was pointed out in the DVD.
Audio problem: In the prom scene just before Heather is looking around and looking bored, the drummer is tapping on the hi hat, but the sound is a crash cymbal.
Character mistake: When Jim gets home and finds the apple pie on the counter with a note from his mother, the note reads "you're favorite", rather than "your".
Continuity mistake: In the final lacrosse game, Oz gets checked hard by an opposing player. But in the next shot with Oz laying on the ground, the opposing player disappears.
Visible crew/equipment: When Finch is running to the toilet, a microphone wire is visible trailing down the inside of his shirt. This is pointed out in the DVD commentary.
Continuity mistake: During the lacrosse game towards the end of the movie Oz scores a goal - in one shot it shows the ball coming to rest in front of the goal. In the next shot you can see the ball hitting the net and coming to rest again.
Continuity mistake: When Nadia is going through Jim's drawer in his bedroom, a tub of Vaseline magically disappears from one shot to the next. In the same scene on top of the drawer a small white box appears at the same time the Vaseline disappears.
Continuity mistake: When Nadia goes to Jim's house, Jim throws all the porn stuff messily into a drawer quickly. A little later, when Nadia opens the drawer, all the stuff has been neatly positioned.
Audio problem: When Finch rolls the yellow 1-ball around the table, the first sound you hear is that of a ball hitting another ball, yet no other balls move. No balls are pocketed either - if a ball had been pocketed the yellow ball would have taken a different path around the table.
Revealing mistake: When Jim is stripping, if you look at the computer screens you can see a line of text to the right of the video that reads "Duration 0:00:19:26." However, the stream is "live" so the duration should not be static.
Revealing mistake: During the prom scene, especially during the song "(Don't You) Forget About Me", none of the band guys (especially the older man keyboard player) are actually playing their instruments.
Continuity mistake: In the famous Nadia on the internet segment, there is a quick shot of the computer before Jim starts to get undressed. If you look on the desk next to the keyboard there is a gray t-shirt. It wasn't there when Jim was setting up the camera and Jim hasn't begun to undress yet. Obviously shot after Jim threw the shirt on the Web cam and it slid off.
Revealing mistake: During the choir duet with Oz, most of the audience is cardboard cutouts. This is very obvious.
Continuity mistake: Finch runs into the girl's bathroom when the laxatives affect him. He tries to take out a toilet seat cover, but there are none left. The side shot shows a corner of the box hanging down below the dispenser, whereas when the shot changes to the front, there is no visible corner. It then returns to the side and the visible corner, and back to the front with no corner.
Continuity mistake: The amount of paper Filch has put on the toilet seat increases drastically, instantly.
Audio problem: When the father gives the son the magazines, right before he's about to leave, he taps his hands together, but a loud CLAP is heard, like he really clapped his hands hard, while he just touched them together.

This thread will probably not come off the way I intend it to, with a lot of people, but I will post it anyway.
Tonight pissed me off.
The Pacers won, which is more important than anything for me, but overall I'm pissed. Maybe frustrated is a better word actually. This is the type of player we all knew Paul George could be....problem is, he could be this every game. Yet, we've only seen this Paul George 2-3 times all season. It pisses me off that he lets it come and go the way he does. He needs to be this assertive EVERY SINGLE GAME. If he isn't, its all a waste...I would rather loose 9 out of the next 10 games if Paul George stepped up and took over that role as go to player...it would suck, but in the long run, it would be great for this franchise. To have Paul George TEMPT us with games like this, or games like the other night, only to come out a few nights later and score 0 is maddening.
A lot of people are happy with George tonight. I'm not. He should be doing this...or at the very least TRYING to do this every night...but he doesn't. His one good game doesn't make up for a season of being passive. A lot of comments were made in thread like "BET YOU DONT WANT TO TRADE HIM NOW!!111!1!one!!!1!!!"
I never WANTED to trade Paul George, but if he plans on being a role player in his career, whats the point of keeping him? The Paul George we saw tonight is what we all expected of him all season long? Maybe not to the extent of 30+ points, but at least a go to scorer who appears to want to win. I find it frustrating that I can name 2 games all season long where I felt like Paul George wanted it.
Do I want to trade him? No, this guy is our chance. But do I wanna give him props for trying? No. The reality is, he is capable of games like this, the fact that we've only seen it 2-3 times is irritating. Am I happy that we saw this, absolutely. Don't take this thread the wrong way - I loved what we saw from Paul George tonight, I simply don't want to make him the Pacers "savior" again when he hasn't proven he can keep that up.
This thread seems negative and for that I apologize. I love this Pacers team and tonights win was great. I love Paul George...one of my favorite Pacers ever, maybe thats why I am so hard on him. But this game doesn't prove anything to me. Because until he can do it on a regular basis, its nothing more than a good game. Fred Jones had a 40+ game one night, doesn't make him an All-Star. We need this from Paul George EVERY NIGHT, and why I've lost so much faith in him, is because he knows it, yet constantly we see him not show up for games.
Hopefully this is the game that changes everything, I'm just a little more hesitant than ya'll seem to be with jumping back on the "he will lead this franchise" bandwagon.
Sorry for being Debby Downer...I don't like to be. But I just needed to say it.

Submit Songs!Read below the box for more info!
So you're probably wondering what the hell is going on. In 2010, after a number of issues arose outside of the site, I decided to step back from Industrial-lyrics.com. There was always the intention of returning to it once things quieted down. Unfortunately, this hiatus lasted much longer than I had ever intended.
Here's the plan: I have implemented a fairly simple lyrics submission form. The idea is to see what kind of response there is, and to tweak the submission process accordingly. At the moment, it is only possible to submit one song at a time for a band which is already present in the database. As I analize the submission process I will add more controls to allow users to submit multiple songs at once and add new bands. Eventually I would like to automate the submission process to the point that my continued input is no longer needed in order for the website to grow. This mechanizim will guard the site against stagnation and allow it to continue to serve the goth/industrial community.

I couldn't get the San Francisco Gate page to come up so the copy below is from RealGM.
There is, of course, a misprint here. The Warriors do not have four first-round picks. They have four picks total: 7, 30, 35, and 52The Warriors would like to upgrade their starting small-forward spot.
Golden State reportedly would like to trade a combination of its four first-round picks for Andre Iguodala, Nicolas Batum, Luol Deng, Rudy Gay, Danny Granger or Josh Smith.
"Having four picks is a tremendous situation to be in, and I think we can do some good things with it," general manager Bob Myers said. "We're excited. We have a tremendous amount of assets, which puts us in good shape to explore a variety of opportunities. It's up to us to make something of it."
Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, a 6-foot-7 small forward out of Kentucky, also is coveted by the Warriors.
I think some combination that includes the #7 pick would be worth looking at. Especially if it included other picks (#30, I'm looking in your direction). DG and DC for the #7 and #30? Which of course would allow us to keep the #26.

There is a sense in which National Socialism was "politics as applied biology." The movement's theorists genuinely believed that it might be possible to resolve social and political problems by biological means. The first manifestation of this ideology – and the model for German eugenic legislation thereafter – was the Sterilization Law of July 1933.
The start of the euthanasia program can be traced to a specific event in Leipzig in the winter of 1938-1939. The parents of a baby (with multiple birth defects) petitioned Hitler to grant permission for their child's doctor to perform "a mercy killing."
The start of ordered deaths, using the preferred procedure of carbon monoxide poisoning, began in 1939, when 10 SS men and local craftsmen turned the former castle of the dukes of Wurttemberg at Grafeneck into a gas chamber and extermination center. Its initial purpose was to facilitate by easiest means the riddance of Germany's "unproductive people," the sick, the disabled, the social discards.
As the death toll grew, so did resistance to the euthanasia program. At first glance, this might be interpreted as compassion among the citizens of the Third Reich – some organized rallies outside the killing center – however, it should be remembered that there were no comparable demonstrations when the extermination of the Jews got under way.
Eugenics and rationalizing dehumanization. Casualties of the Nazi extermination programs: more than 6 million.
I wonder how many in America are aware that legal abortion was a strategy by eugenicists as early as 1939, to "genetically improve" our population by "reducing it."
According to current polling data, we Americans are split fairly evenly on whether or not we think Roe v. Wade should be overturned. Some liken increased efforts to restrict access to abortion as a "war on women," while others call legalized abortion the "real war on women." This officially nondeclared war continues to be waged after 40 years, from courtrooms to polling places — and on sidewalks outside of clinics, inside of which, suction and curettage continues to be the preferred procedure.
"Eugenics is easiest to describe," writes Rebecca Messall, Esq., in the fall 2004 issue of Human Life Review, "as being the Darwin-based theory behind the Nazis' plan to breed a race of human thoroughbreds."
After Hitler, eugenic theorists advocated global control over who has babies and how many. It has become "population thinking." Further, politicians who position themselves in favor of Roe align themselves with a host of eugenic strategies and fallout, which include human embryo destructive exploitation (nicknamed "stem cell research"), the trafficking in fetal body parts and euthanasia. As Messall points out, "They also align themselves with the Rockefeller family dynasty, which funded eugenic scientists (here and in Germany) as early as 1922, before Hitler put eugenic theories into practice."
Margaret Sanger, (1879-1966) co-founder of Planned Parenthood, is listed in the 1956 membership records of the American Eugenics Society. Her stance was crystal clear three decades prior. From a paper submitted to and rejected by Congress in 1921, Sanger wrote: "Today eugenics is suggested by the most diverse minds as the most adequate and thorough avenue to the solution of racial, political and social problems."
In March 1973, two months after Roe v.Wade was handed down, the name of the American Eugenics Society was changed to the Society for the Study of Social Biology. Their announcement read, "The change of name does not coincide with any change of its interest of policies." This, then, is the ideological basis of the abortion industry.
Katharine O'Keefe, author of "American Eugenics Society 1922-1994," states the obvious: "Eugenical thinkers in democracies presently use different tactics for the implementation of eugenic goals than did the dictator Hitler. However, democracy was, and is, for the eugenicists, merely a political obstacle course."
Eugenics and rationalizing dehumanization. Casualties since Roe v.Wade: more than 56 million.

Toronto earns first win since March 9
WASHINGTON -- D.C. United defender Daniel Woolard knocked the ball into his own net in the 41st minute, giving Toronto FC its first victory since March 9 with a 2-1 win Saturday night.
Robert Earnshaw scored on a header in the 30th minute after United went ahead 1-0. Then Woolard inadvertently headed the ball into the back of his own net to give Toronto the go-ahead goal.
Toronto (2-7-5) snapped an 11-match winless streak (0-6-5) with its best offensive performance of the season on the road. The club had scored just three times in six previous games away from BMO Field.
"It takes a lot of character to come away from home against a team that's in a spot very similar to us," first-year Toronto coach Ryan Nelsen said. The performances have been there for weeks instead we just haven't seen games out. This was probably not our best performance but we got three points."
Coming into the game, Toronto had squandered its share of solid performance, having given up five goals after the 89th minute.
Although Toronto had just one win in seven previous trips to RFK Stadium, Nelsen is no stranger to the nation's capital. He played for United from 2001-05 and captained the club to its fourth and most recent MLS Cup win in 2004.
"It's fantastic to win," Nelsen said about his second career coaching win. "It's fantastic to come back and just to see the stadium, see old friends, the fans. I've just got so many pleasant memories at D.C. United. It's such a great club."
Dwayne De Rosario had given United (1-11-3) just its second lead of the season in the 19th minute with a goal on a penalty kick.
Steven Caldwell found Earnshaw with a long diagonal pass from just inside Toronto's side of midfield to get things going for Toronto. Earnshaw won the header past Brandon McDonald and his shot went past United goalie Bill Hamid before going in off the left goal post.
Luis Silva sent in a cross from another free kick 11 minutes later only to connect with Woolard, whose header wrong-footed Hamid to give Toronto the lead.
"I just put the ball in a good spot and we got a deflection and it was an own goal," Silva said. "We watched video of D.C. and we saw that they struggled at set pieces and I just had to put the ball into a good spot."
In the 17th minute, Toronto defender Gale Agbossoumonde brought down Nick DeLeon just inside the 18-yard box after a 60- yard run down the left side of the field.
De Rosario's second goal of the season snapped a 314-minute scoreless drought over five games for United. D.C. had not scored since a 1-1 draw with Sporting Kansas City on May 19.
De Rosario's goal was the 102nd of his MLS career and moved him past Taylor Twellman into sixth place on the all-time list.
After making last season's Eastern Conference finals, United (1-11-3) extended its club-record winless streak to 13 games (0-10-3) and remains in last place in the league standings.
"We've got to keep moving," McDonald said. "I think everybody is just shaking their heads at this point."
Toronto won despite being credited with just one shot on goal. Joe Bendik saved two of the three shots he faced.
DeLeon nearly found De Rosario for the tying goal in the 58th with a cross from just outside the left side of the penalty box, but De Rosario's attempted volley sailed just wide of the left post.

#1: Exercise, diet not in my schedule help!!!!!
I seem to only workout once a week if that because I have a job that literally has me passing out by the time I get home so exercise is usually not in my vocab. My other down fall is that I hardly eat while at work and binge eat when I get home. A typical day is sometime before eleven I will finish my cranberry muffin then a small lunch that I pack at 12:30 then home when im starving and stay in the fridge. Any suggestions to eat better n get a light workout in everyday?

UPDATE: Leaders for the National Hockey League and the NHL Players' Associate resumed negotiations on Friday, marking the fourth consecutive day of discussion toward a collective bargaining agreement.
At some point soon, the NHL's CBA negotiations are going to either derail or make tangible progress toward an actual agreement.
Thursday's five-plus-hour session in New York, if nothing else, appears to have avoided the former, and continued fostering cautious optimism over the state of the NHL lockout.
Donald Fehr, speaking with reporters near the talks' "secret location" in Manhattan (which turned out to be the offices of Proskauer Rose, the outside counsel that also advised the NFL and NBA during their owner-fueled work stoppages), said the sides will meet again on Friday, and offered no real further comment — something that has been taken as a near-universal positive sign.
The union has also responded to the NHL's proposals—which, superficially, is a good sign, but in actuality depends on the substance of those responses. The union's last counterproposals, and the league's reaction to them, sent negotiations into a deep-freeze that lasted for more than two weeks.
Commissioner Gary Bettman, speaking after Fehr, was tight-lipped as well, offering little beyond his stance that there's "still a lot of work to be done."
"Everyday that passes I think is critical for the game and for our fans," Bettman said, according to NHL.com. "Collective bargaining is a process and it has peaks and valleys and ebbs and flows, and it is very tough to handicap."
At chief issue remains how, exactly, the sides make it to a 50/50 revenue split. Players received 57 percent of hockey-related revenue in the last CBA and have agreed to take 50 percent at some point in the future. but want existing contracts honored in full. The league wants the drop to happen immediately, but has reportedly offered the so-called "Make Whole" provision, which would take steps to pay out at least part of players' existing deals.
Make Whole was discussed on Wednesday night and indeed addressed in the union's proposal, according to multiple reports. A source told ESPN.com that the NHLPA tabled a plan that would drop their share of revenues to 50-50 in Year 3 based on "regular" growth. That's a step toward the owners, but also would entail a phase-in element that the league has thus far rejected.
The specifics on the league's latest Make Whole plan are unknown, but entail assuming player escrow losses that would result in an immediate drop to 50/50 for at least two seasons, with some of that possibly being deferred.
The sides have met for more than 25 hours over the last week, starting with an informal eight-hour session between deputy commissioner Bill Daly and NHLPA special counsel Steve Fehr in Chicago on Saturday. Larger groups that included owners and players spent more than seven hours together on Tuesday and another five hours on Wednesday.
Other important topics, including revenue sharing and contract rules, were discussed by the NHL and NHLPA earlier in the week and still need to be worked out before the 54-day lockout comes to an end. Fehr has called for increased revenue sharing; the NHL indeed bumped up the amount of money that would be reallocated from $150 million to $200 million and changed the factors that determine who gets what, but whether that works for the union remains to be seen.
As for contracting rules, according to reports from Larry Brooks of the New York Post, and echoed elsewhere, the NHL is "not committed" to its proposed five-year limit on contracts, but remains intent on eliminating front-loaded deals, which would simultaneously decrease players' earning potential and keep teams honest.
