Vancouver, BC (Sports Network) - Henrik Sedin scored two goals, Roberto Luongo made 41 saves and the Vancouver Canucks blanked the New York Rangers, 5-0.
Alexander Edler collected three assists and Frank Corrado had a goal with one helper for the Canucks.
New York goaltender Henrik Lundqvist was beaten five times on 17 shots over the first two periods. Martin Biron replaced Lundqvist and was hardly tested, facing only three shots in the third.
The game was matchup between coaches who swapped teams in the offseason. The Rangers hired Alain Vigneault after firing John Tortorella, who took over Vigneault's old post with the Canucks.

Rabies and Precautions
Bats are wild mammals and do carry rabies, however rabies only occurs in about .5 percent (1 in 200) of the bats in a population. For comparison, rabies in wild raccoons can occur at up to 35 percent (1 in 3.)
Unlike other mammals, rabid bats do not show aggression, but are more likely to be found on the ground, sluggish and easy for children to pick up. Children must be warned to NEVER touch any bat, because bats found on the ground are much more likely to be rabies-positive and may bite in self-defense. Instead, have an adult notify a trained professional with protective gear and pre-exposure rabies vaccinations to handle or remove bats. If a bat must be removed by an untrained adult, use a coffee can with a piece of stiff cardboard. Place the can over the bat and gently slide the cardboard under the can, trapping the bat inside without touching it, or use heavy leather gloves.
For assistance or additional information, contact UF Environmental Health and Safety Pest Management Services, 352-392-1904 or University Police, 352-392-1111.

And so you are repeating yourself, telling us nothing. Maybe everyone needs to watch anime, but outside of that it may take someone a period of time to awaken?Tachibana wrote:A person who has not yet reached the Sotaapana stage is a puthujjana, a puthujjana that wishes to reach the Ariyaa stage is dissatisfied of his current condition, so what are the benefits of having practiced the Dhamma in a wrong way ?
A birth in the Deva's realm ?
Well, that's pretty pathetic since it's not the goal of the Dhamma practice (it's even harder to realize a Fruit there).
A birth in the human realm ?
Well, except if you can keep your memories you shoudn't expect so much of such a birth... unless if you're a Sakadaagaami.
The goal of every true buddhist is the end of suffering, birth, pain, aging, sickness and death... so how do you call an unsuccessful practice ? A failure.
Ben wrote:Tachibana wrote:But there have been several days since I pretend having reached the Sakadaagaami's stage.
So, to be clear - you are pretending you are a sakadagami.
Is that correct?
Why should we believe you? Just because you say you are ariya does not mean it is true. So far you have shown little actual practical understanding of Dhamma practice, but you have shown a fair amount of ego and crankiness. Again, why should we believe you?Tachibana wrote:If you do not believe me, then go away, answering useless questions is a waste of time.
Of course, but I must say that at best what you are presenting is highly idiosyncratic. You are asking us to believe you are ariya, which is not at all a small thing. As of yet, I see no reason whatsoever to believe you. I can be believe that you have convinced yourself of such, but that it about it. As Chogyam Trungpa was wont to say: Good luck to you, sir.Tachibana wrote:
Could we end up with this now ?
Huh?lyndon taylor wrote:Finally you're making some sense, Tachibana!!!
Tachibana wrote:Please enjoy your wrong practice and your bad kammic effects that results from insulting an Ariyaa (the Buddha also used sarcasm so you can't blame me for this).

I am curious if anyone can help me place a value on this beautiful metalwork wrought iron rose sculpture? I found it in a thrift store.
I believe that the green is patina and not paint. I found one similar on the internet that was new and worth several hundred dollars.
I'm thinking this one is antique.
If you no anything about this type of thing, I would love to hear what you think.

I finally got a chance to try the Tern. A bit mixed feelings about the disc. Every time I was able to rip it right, it flew really nice, giving easy distance. The Innova flight stats seem to be correct. However, the rim is (for me) very hard to grip, so I had lots of early/bad releases and then of course the disc acts like it was a true overstable high speed driver.
Not going to buy one. Fun disc to toss on a field, wouldn't bag it because of the rim.

On Jan. 10, USDA released its Annual Crop Production report. In general, the data released will remain unchanged, perhaps until the next Census of Agriculture. Many people expected USDA to raise the corn production estimate for 2013 but USDA lowered the yield and cut the crop by 64 million bushels. Production is now put at 13.925 billion bushels with a national average yield of 158.8 bushels per acre. The yield is substantially higher than the 123.4 bushels per acre recorded for 2012, but still about 5 bushels or more below trend. The final planted acreage figure for 2013 was 95.4 million acres but the data show that farmers wanted to plant more than 98 million acres to corn, but were unable to reach that level due to the wet spring which caused severe planting delays. USDA also made minor adjustments to production levels for soybeans (up 31 million bushels), and cotton (up 120,000 bales).
USDA also reports acreage planted to the 21 "principal" crops. The total principal crop acreage for 2013 is put at 324.8 million acres, down 805,000 from the 2012 total. With farmers saying they were unable to plant more than 8 million acres because of the wet spring, it is surprising that the change from 2012 to 2013 wasn't larger. But total crop acreage in Texas rebounded by 1.5 million acres following the drought in 2012 which partially offset declines in other states including a 456,000 acre reduction in Iowa and a nearly 400,000 acre drop in Wisconsin. However, total crop acreage has increased fairly significantly in recent years. The 5-year average for total principal crop acreage is 320 million acres.
There is a lot of talk in the industry about acreage for 2014. Several sources are predicting that corn acreage will fall to around 90 million to 92 million acres this spring. That implies a drop of about 4 million to 5 million acres from the 2013 total. However, remember that farmers wanted to plant more than 98 million acres to corn last year and would have with a more normal spring. So these forecasts really imply a drop in corn acreage of closer to 7 million acres year-to-year. That would be a huge drop, especially with 2014 corn futures prices above $4.50 and fertilizer prices down by more than 20 percent from a year ago. But assuming that we do see corn acres down that much – where do all of those acres go?
Some of the acreage not planted to corn could shift to soybeans. Forecasts for U.S. soybean acreage for 2014 range as high as 82 million acres, up 5.5 million from the 2013 level. But the weather also kept farmers from planting all of the soybeans they wanted last year. Farmers reported that the weather kept them from planting an additional 1.7 million acres last spring. If that is accurate, the implied increase in soybean acreage may be closer to 4 million acres even if we get to the 82 million acres some forecasters are predicting.
The Winter Wheat Seedings report showed that farmers planted nearly 1.2 million fewer acres to winter wheat last fall with almost all of the decline in soft red producing areas. This suggests that fewer wheat acres will be double-cropped with soybeans for 2014. Further total wheat acreage will probably fall below 2013 levels unless farmers plant a lot more spring wheat. However the wet spring in 2013 had a pretty significant impact on spring wheat acreage. Farmers reported that the weather kept them from planting about 2 million acres of wheat – with most of that decline in North Dakota. Accordingly, total wheat acreage in 2014 may come in close to the 2013 total of 56.2 million acres.
So to summarize – total principal crop acreage came in at 324.8 million acres, but farmers said that weather kept them from planting an additional 8.3 million acres of the 10 major crops so the total for all 21 crops would probably be closer to 9 million acres. The more "normal" level of acres not planted due to weather is around 1.5 million acres. So with "normal" prevented planted acres in 2014 the total acreage available would be about 334 million acres. Further, a total of 1.6 million acres of crop land exited the Conservation Reserve Program at the end of September and at least some of that land will probably come back into production in 2014. So we start with a pool of about 335 million acres for 2014 crops, 10 million more than was planted in 2013.
With the reduction in soft red winter wheat acreage, we will probably see a decline in double-cropped soybean acres this year, and the decline could be near 2 million acres. In addition, the data suggests that some of the land planted to winter wheat for 2013 was either abandoned and planted to another crop – such as sorghum - or got counted as other hay acreage harvested. This could mean that an additional 2 million to 3 million acres got counted twice in 2013, boosting the total principal crop acreage. So maybe the "extra" acres available for 2014 is closer to 5 million acres than the 10 million suggested before.
The wet weather last spring also had a negative impact on the acreage of more minor crops, such as canola, sunflowers, dry beans and others. If we assume that the deviations of these crops from intentions to actual acreage were all weather related and that acreage will snap back in 2014, we can account for nearly another million acres. So the net increase in land available for 2014 could be down to 4 million acres. That sounds less dramatic that the 10 million acres we started with.
But we still get back to the question of what happens to these acres. Crop prices may fall far enough so that revenue does not cover all production costs. But in the short term that is probably not enough to convince farmers to leave the land idle. Landowners have to make land payments, pay real estate taxes and other fixed costs whether they grow a crop or not. So farmers will continue to plant if revenue covers out of pocket costs and at least part of these fixed costs. Renters need money to pay the cash rent as well as the operating costs for fertilizer, seed, etc. But the demand for land to rent is competitive and if a renter decides to give up the land for a year and not plant a crop - someone else will step up. Prices for crop insurance will be set in February and it appears that the corn price will be near $4.50 per bushel and the soybean price will be above $11 per bushel. These prices are probably high enough to keep farmers from leaving the land stand idle.
The conclusion from this analysis is that we could see an increase in total crop acreage in 2014 even with the lower crop prices. We probably won't see the kind of decline in corn acreage that we would need for production to match up with expected demand. With trend yields next year, corn stockpiles could get pretty burdensome.

How to manage pain in school aged children
There can seem to be no end of bumps, bruises, grazes and oopsies with a school-aged child. So what's the best way to manage pain in school-aged children? We've got some tips and tricks to help you know when a kiss will make it better - and when something stronger's in order.
Some children seem prone to headaches, particularly when they start school and lots of reading and concentration is on the agenda. It's always a good idea to get their eyes checked when they start school - just to ensure they're not long-sighted, short-sighted or experiencing eye strain. If there's no problem with their eyesight, you can treat headaches in school children in the following manner.
What to try:
- Make sure they're drinking enough water - the water bottle you send them to school with should be coming home empty.
- A cool washcloth on their forehead and over their eyes and a lie-down for 15 minutes after school.
- Give a gentle head and temple massage using massage oil with a few drops of lavender oil.
How to treat it:
- Persistent pain is best dealt with by using a gentle paracetamol pain relief suitable for your child's age and weight. If they can't take tablets, look for a liquid form which is easily swallowed and digested.
When to seek medical advice:
- If the pain persists after taking medication, if your child experiences disturbed vision, nausea or vomiting or if your child seems to get too many headaches, it's best to see your GP for treatment or further investigation.
Tummy aches
A tummy ache is one of those non-specific pains that many children seem to wake up with. It's hard to know whether to make the call to send them to school or keep them at home to recover.
What to try:
- Give them a little bit to eat and a drink to see if it settles the stomach.
- See if they need to go to the toilet - sometimes constipation can cause a tummy ache.
- Lie them down with a warm wheat bag or heatpack on the tummy.
When to seek medical advice:
- If the pain is concentrated in one area.
- If the pain persists after treatment.
- If you just feel that something's not quite right - seek medical attention.
A toothache is a sign that there's something amiss, so it's best to call a dentist when toothache strikes. Toothache can be caused by a cavity or decay, a gum infection, by grinding the teeth, or your child might just have sensitive teeth.
What to try:
- While you're waiting for a dentist appointment, try applying oil of cloves, available at the chemist.
- A warm salt-water gargle can bring temporary relief.
- Apply a warm compress to the cheek - this may also help soothe the pain.
How to treat it:
- A dose of child-friendly painkiller will help relieve the pain until you can discover the cause.
When to seek medical advice:
- A toothache that lasts longer than a day always requires investigation, so make an appointment as soon as possible.
An earache is often caused by an ear infection, and can cause dull, sharp or even burning pain. The pain from an earache can be persistent, or intermittent - and either one or both ears can be affected. Earaches are very common in children who are far more likely to experience earaches than adults. To help treat an earache in your child:
What to try:
- Earaches from a swimmer's ear or blocked ears can be treated with eardrops purchased over the counter from the chemist.
- Gargle with warm, salty water to help increase the circulation to the Eustachian tubes.
- Try applying warmth with a heat bag or hot water bottle.
- Eat a bowl of chicken noodle soup with lots of garlic to help clear the sinuses.
How to treat it:
- Use paracetamol for pain relief if required.
When to seek medical advice:
- If pain persists for more than 24 hours.
- If balance or eyesight is affected.
- If your child has a fever (38 degrees Celsius or above).
- If there is swelling around the ear.
- If your child also has a headache.
- Iif there's any discharge from the ear see a doctor for treatment.
Sporting/playing injuries
One of the most common causes of pain in school-aged children is injury due to sport or from the playground. Strains, breaks, grazes and bruises are common in childhood and always require tender, loving care.
What to try:
For most injuries apply the RICE treatment
- Rest: give the injured limb time to repair.
- Ice: 20 minutes on, 30 minutes off, for the first 24 hours.
- Compress: using a tight compression bandage can aid healing.
- Elevate: raising the limb above the heart can help - use pillows for added comfort.
How to treat it:
- Use RICE (listed above) and give pain relief as required.
When to seek medical advice:
- If you're concerned there is a broken bone.
- If your child loses consciousness.
- If there's vomiting or nausea accompanying the injury - it's best to seek medical advice.
Vaccination pain
After vaccination, children can experience a range of mild side effects - from tiredness to pain at the site of the injection. To help relieve vaccination pain, you can try the following.
What to try:
- Rest and ice can help to relieve most pain - apply an icepack to the injection site for 20 minutes at a time, for the first 24 hours (leaving 30 minutes between applications).
- Some children respond better to warmth than ice, so try a heatpack over the injection site.
- Ensure that your child rests as much as possible to help aid recovery.
How to treat it:
- If pain is persistent try a regular dose of paracetamol to help bring your child relief.
When to seek medical advice:
- If there's swelling at the site.
- If there's vomiting or excessive nausea.
- If there's persistent pain - then contact the doctor as soon as possible.

NLCS, St. Louis Cardinals vs. San Francisco Giants: Game 1, 8:07 ET
The past two World Series champions took unprecedented roads to their first playoff meeting since the 2002 National League Championship Series.
The San Francisco Giants (2010 champs) became the first team to overcome a 2-0 deficit in their NLDS by winning three consecutive road games; the St. Louis Cardinals (2011 champs) became the first team to overcome a six-run deficit in an elimination game.
In a toss-up series, don't be surprised if getting that last out takes a historic effort.

Playoff schedule | Results, previews, more
1. Have there ever been two better catchers in the same series? OK, that might be a reach. After all, Hall of Famers Johnny Bench and Carlton Fisk met in the 1975 World Series. But it is safe to say that never before have two catchers in the same series enjoyed better regular seasons than the Cardinals' Yadier Molina and the Giants' Buster Posey.
Both hit well over .300, slugged over. 500 and are expected to finish top three in NL MVP voting. Posey put up better numbers, winning the NL batting title (.336) and driving in 103 runs. But Molina not only had his best offensive season (.316 average, 22 homers, 76 RBIs), he is a shoo-in to win his fifth Gold Glove.
2. How will the Giants handle Carlos Beltran? Beltran spent the last part of the 2011 season with San Francisco but signed with St. Louis because he said it gave him his best chance to reach the postseason. How that sits with Giants fans will be determined by the reception he receives at AT&T Park in Game 1 on Sunday.
Now that Beltran is back in the postseason for the first time since 2006, he is doing his part. He hit two homers to lead the Cardinals in Game 2 of the NLDS; in the decisive Game 5, he reached base five times, scored two runs and started the ninth-inning rally. His .409 average and .500 on-base percentage are the best among regulars on either team.
"It is fun, brother," Beltran said. "After all these years to be able to get back in this situation, I'm grateful."
3. What does Timmy do? Partly because of Tim Lincecum's disappointing regular season, the Giants' rotation didn't pitch up to its reputation. Cardinals starters, in fact, fared better. They finished third in NL ERA (3.62) while the Giants finished fifth (3.73). San Francisco's starters didn't improve in the NLDS against the Cincinnati Reds (5.16 ERA, zero quality starts).
Lincecum, however, stepped up in Cincinnati. He came out of the bullpen to rescue Barry Zito and save the day for the Giants in Game 4. His one-run, 4 1/3-inning performance might have earned the two-time Cy Young winner the start in Game 4 of this NLCS at Busch Stadium.

Offense: St. Louis led the NL in scoring during the first half, but San Francisco finished first for the season in road runs and outscored the Cardinals after the break. Edge: Giants
Rotation: Both teams have their share of uncertainties, but the Cardinals have the only starter (Kyle Lohse) who can be counted on for a quality outing. Edge: Cardinals
Bullpen: Hard-throwing rookies Joe Kelly and Trevor Rosenthal have added depth to a strong St. Louis unit. But the Giants can match the Cardinals in power arms, and their manager, Bruce Bochy, is considered the best at handling relievers. Edge: Giants
Defense: St. Louis not only has the game's best defensive catcher in Yadier Molina, it has another Gold Glove candidate in center fielder Jon Jay. San Francisco shortstop Brandon Crawford is the second-best defensive player on the field. Edge: Cardinals
Bench: Catcher Hector Sanchez and utility man Joaquin Arias will give the Giants a lift at some point. Cardinals pinch hitters finished the NLDS without a hit. Edge: Giants
The Giants have home-field advantage, but both teams are riding some serious momentum. The Cardinals' mojo, however, goes back to 2011. It would be silly to pick against them at this point. St. Louis in seven.

Kendrick Lamar, 2 Chainz lead 95.7 The Beat's Birthday Bash at Tampa's MidFlorida Credit Union Amphitheatre
For some 15 years, Wild 94.1 has had a lock on Tampa Bay's best big-name hip-hop festivals, including Wild Splash in the spring and Last Damn Show in the fall.
But with no Last Damn Show 2013 lineup out yet, 95.7 The Beat is swooping in with a pretty impressive fest of its own.
Kendrick Lamar and 2 Chainz will headline the inaugural 95.7 The Beat Birthday Bash, celebrating 10 years of the station, on Oct. 11 at the MidFlorida Credit Union Amphitheatre in Tampa. Also on the bill: Rich Homie Quan, Sevyn Streeter, RaVaughn and Shanell. Tickets start at $25 and will go on sale Sept. 6. Click here and here for details.
Lamar is one of the most buzzed-about hip-hop acts since Drake, thanks to hit single Swimming Pools (Drank) and his acclaimed album good kid, m.A.A.d city; while 2 Chainz (Mercy, No Lie) and Rich Homie Quan (Type of Way) are becoming increasingly ubiquitous. Plus, they're two of the few rappers Lamar didn't call out on his recent Control verse, so there shouldn't be too much backstage awkwardness.
It also leaves you wondering just Wild 94.1 might now book for this year's Last Damn Show. Lamar, 2 Chainz and Rich Homie Quan are now off the table, and artists like Drake, J.Cole, French Montana, Chief Keef, Wale, Big K.R.I.T. and Joey Bada$$ already have local shows booked elsewhere. Who's left?

Photo Gallery: Creative Holiday Decorating Ideas
Try these tips from Matthew Mead's latest book!
Add small cuts of greenery in glass candle holders for an inexpensive winter touch.
"Vignettes are a simple way to add holiday decor to your home," says stationery designer Debra Norton of Vintage Paper Parade. Here, "a roll of twine, a spool wrapped with beads, fresh greenery and an old slate add interest."
Pretty pinks and golds combine for a feminine holiday look.
"Blogger Debbie Dusenberry of A Curious Sofa took a fallen tree and wrapped it in yarn creating a stunning holiday decoration for an entryway," says stationery designer Debra Norton of Vintage Paper Parade. "A mixed collection of ornaments adorns its wooly branches."
Set out sweet treats in colours coordinated with your home's holiday theme.
"Here, a fresh, modern holiday table is set for an annual dessert party in the home of Holiday with Matthew Mead executive editor Linda MacDonald," says Debra.
Instead of placing gifts under the tree, display and stack several on a tabletop or a shelf.
Matthew bound his gifts with velvet ribbon, fresh greenery and gold-painted wood emblems.
Consider a rustic country look.
"A mixture of fragrant greenery, galvanized steel watering cans, wrapped packages and touches of gold create a charming welcome spot with a nod to the past," says Debra.
Bring to life a winter wonderland with an all-white Christmas tree.
Darryl Moland of The Decorated Tree blog anchored a paper-wrapped wire twig tree in a metal vase filled with faux snow. Ornaments fill the branches, including folded paper stars and tinsel icicles.
Stick to a simple red-and-white theme for classic Christmas charm.
Style expert Matthew Mead created a dedicated space for gift-wrapping and writing holiday cards. "Elements such as the painted window frame in a festive colour add architectural interest as well as holiday cheer," says stationery designer Debra Norton of Vintage Paper Parade blog. "Matthew likes to display rolls of pretty wrapping paper and handmade paper ornaments."

On a dining table, place tree branches in a vase or pot as an alternative Christmas tree.
"[Style expert] Matthew Mead loves to use found objects in his holiday decor," says stationery designer Debra Norton of Vintage Paper Parade blog. Decorated with simple paper ornaments, it's a vignette anyone can create.
Download Matthew's templates to make your own paper ornaments.

Celebrate this holiday season with a fondue party.
Debra collaborated with Matthew to create a Scandinavian-inspired holiday. "The decor theme includes wood, fresh greenery and pops of red against layers of whites," says Debra.
Use scrap fabric like velvet to wrap a plant pot and keep it in place with ribbon.
Live in a small space? Place a small tree atop a table. Classic glass ornaments and paper flower ornaments work well in the home of blogger Stefanie Schiada of Brooklyn Limestone.


text: I haven't heard anybody mention it, but I really liked how Granger's dad reacted after his son was drafted by the Pacer's. He looked thrilled to death that his son was going to the Pacers. I think a lot of parents would have been disappointed if there son would have slipped like that in the draft. Also, sounds like his father is a very motivated, hardworking man. And I bet his son inherited these traits as well. The more I hear, I'm excited as hell about this pick.

We know in Bon the 24 Zhang Zhung Masters who played all an important role in the Zhang Zhung Nyen Gyud Dzogchen Lineage. The central person here is Tapihritsa. Here the Bon Dzogchen of ZZNG was not written down. It starts with the student of Tapihritsa, Gyerpung Nagzher Lodpo who was the first who did wrote all the oral transmissions down.
They all had so their individual view about the realisation of the Rainbow body, so they all have their individual way of practice which does show us that Nature is not identical to the Dzogchenpa but that the Dzogchenpa has similarities with Nature but that he is never similar to Nature.

A YUMMY mummy from Blackburn is vying to win a national beauty contest after wowing judges in an online competition.
Alexandra Thomas was recently crowned Miss Beauty of Blackburn and will now compete in a pageant in Chorley later this year for the title of Miss Beauty of the UK.
If the 19-year-old mum-of-one, from Fore Street, Lower Darwen, goes on to win, she will travel to Spain to challenge for the World crown.
Alexandra, who lives with son Leon, two, and partner Jack Berry, 19, said: "I think this could be the start of a new career and I believe, if I win Miss World, I would win some money, which would be good financially for me and my son.
"I'd like to win to show that people who have children they can still win."
Alexandra is due to strut her stuff in a swimsuit and gown, at the Park Hall Hotel on October 19.
As part of the competition, she will also raise money for the Rays of Sunshine Children's Charity, which grants the wishes of youngsters with serious or life-threatening injuries.

Ok, with Rush and Hibbert rising to their potentials and many other players having career seasons (Murphy, Jack, TJ), many people, at least in Indiana, would expect the Pacers to make the playoffs next season. However, here's the question, who's dropping "out" of the playoffs? I don't know much about free agencies of the teams in the East, so I'm just basing my assumptions on this season.
The Cavs, Celtics and Magic are out of the discussion because they will more than likely to be there again next season. Hawks are a young team with lots of talent, and judging by the way they played Miami in the first game, they will still be good for atleast several more years. Heat will remain a decent team as long as DWade and Chalmers at the back court. Sixers have an athletic player in Andre Iguodala, along with young talents Louis Williams and Thaddeus Young. With the deals Chicago made before the trade deadline, they have really turned around the corner. Having Derrick Rose doesn't hurt either. And finally, the Pistons. It might seem that their era has finally ended, but with about 30 million dollars coming off the book next season, who knows who they can get.
It might seem WAY too early to think about this right now as so many things can happen between now and then, but I think the East is getting better in general and it may be more difficult to get into the playoffs than the past few years. Personally, I think the Sixers would be the one to drop if the Pacers are to make it.

When KPC purchased it in 1985, an application was made for a Use and Occupancy permit, but there was a lapse with follow-up on some requirements. At a recent meeting with the County it was determined that the building does not comply with current standards. KPC is committed to complying with all regulations, and has already been working with an architect to determine the most cost efficient ways to upgrade the building.
6. We do not have a final figure for the entire upgrade, but the initial professional estimate exceeds $1,000,000.
The extensive renovations will have to include:
• fire separation (i understand that to mean internal firewalls),
• electrical and plumbing work,
• storm water management throughout the grounds,
• installation of extensive sprinkler systems throughout the building
• fire truck access.
This is very helpful indeed. Thank you!

Santa Clara, Calif. -- Westfield announced that David Yurman and Miu Miu will open first-to-market stores at its Westfield Valley Fair property in Santa Clara, Calif. A new Prada boutique will open as well, joining other luxury retailers such as Burberry, Tag Heuer, Wolford, Mont Blanc, Louis Vuitton, Tiffany and Cartier.
Jewelry designer David Yurman, scheduled to open at Westfield Valley Fair in January, has only two other locations in California. Miu Miu, a division of Prada and scheduled to open at Valley Fair in spring 2013, has only one other California location. Prada's new boutique is expected to open in fall 2013.
With more than 50 retailer stores under construction this year, 11 relocating, and the arrival of 17 new retail brands in total, Westfield Valley Fair is upping the fashion and luxury ante in northern California.

Re "City Council: Sugar House Streetcar will run on 1100 East" (Tribune, May 8):
To those concerned about the narrowness of 1100 East for the just-approved streetcar line, visit San Francisco. A streetcar is not nearly as large or as fast as a TRAX train, and it makes more frequent stops with traffic.
I spend a lot of time in the Bay Area, where I jog along streetcar routes that traverse roads even narrower than 1100 East. Along Hyde and Powell streets, streetcars safely run in residential areas at normal traffic speed. Along the Embarcadero, joggers and cyclists will often be on the tracks without fear of being struck.

Last August, Ronda Rousey was already making noise in the MMA world, but to the mainstream, she was virtually unknown. Since then, she has become the first female to be signed by the UFC, be crowned champion and defend her title. She has become one of the most famous female athletes worldwide.
I caught up with Rousey in Las Vegas on Monday evening, in between filming sessions of "The Ultimate Fighter 18," which will begin to air in the fall, with Rousey coaching opposite Meisha Tate. Here's a bit of our conversation.
Q: Our readers were first introduced to you a year ago, before all of this happened. What's life like for you right now?
A: I don't know how much I can really say (because the show still hasn't aired) but it's just ... chaos. Whatever I'm usually doing is chaos so it's not that different, but this is chaos with a theme (laughs). Instead of four or five different things (it's) just all focused on one big theme.
Q: How is your life different than it was last fall?
A: Everything was focused on myself. Now, it's all focused on the kids that are trusting me to take care of them (on the show). It's not about me. As a fighter, you have to be selfish because it's your life on the line, now it's these kids' lives on the line, so it takes up all of the free space in my brain. Instead of 'this, this, this' for me, it's 'this, this, this' for them.
Q: Are you learning more about yourself as a fighter by being a coach?
A: I've always been reactionary as a fighter. I just did it without thinking. I'm learning about the game because I have to articulate it, show it and explain it
Q: Any downtime at all?
A: No. When I'm not here (on the set/gym), on camera, I'm delegating other things for the show. Everything at home I'm coordinating, people are flying out to have meetings because I can't get there. There's interviews, appearances ... it's like every second of the day is productive and at the end there are still important things I've missed.
Q: Any room for a personal life?
A: I'm very lucky that my best friend has a similar career and understands what I'm going through. Family? Man, I didn't get to see my mom for Mother's Day, my stepdad for Father's Day. ... Oh ... I didn't call him yesterday. ... See? Another thing I forgot. No, I don't have time, and I'm falling behind with all of my family and friends. I feel like I'm not giving them what they deserve, and forget a boyfriend, I'm impossible to personalize with, I think, these days. I'm only operating on a professional capacity right now and we'll see if that's a good choice down the line.
Q: How are you adjusting?
A: I'm sure if you go to the circus, it's an exhausting thing, your ears are ringing and your vision's blurry when you leave. If you live in the circus, I guess you're used to seeing the tigers and your ears don't hurt anymore. I don't expect a rest, so I don't mourn for the lack of one.
Q: Are you having any fun?
A: I have my moments. The cool thing about this is there's no routine. I like the lack of monotony. I live the way I fight, I like to be constantly reacting and improvising.
Q: There have been a lot of rewards along with your success. From the outside, it seems that you have it made. Are you happy with how it's happened?
A: Yeah! I couldn't have written it any better. It's just not the kind of happiness where I can sit back and relax. I have to stay hyper-focused because it's so hard to maintain and so easy to (foul) up, but it's exactly what I wanted and that's why I care so much. I have a long list of goals still.

There is no denying that Hot Toys' Movie Masterpiece figures are one of the hottest collections on the market today. One particular figure license that has truly taken flight for the company is that of the Iron Man movie. The company has truly embraced this blockbuster Marvel film and continues to produce amazing movie-accurate 1:6 scale figures. With the Iron Man sequel hitting theaters today, Hot Toys has released yet another incredible figure based on the original film, the Mark III (Battle Damaged).
PACKAGING: Hot Toys has pulled out all the bells and whistles for this particular Iron Man figure. The deluxe figure and all its accessories are housed within two separate plastic trays on opposite sides of each other. The package closes up like a book and has round Velcro tabs that keep both sides shut. The front of the book-styled package resembles that of the Mark 3's inner chest core while the back of the box features a vast image gallery detailing all of the deluxe parts and functions of the figure.
The package also features an outer cardboard sleeve that looks like the outer shell of the battle damaged Mark III's upper body. The outer sleeve has a circular cut-out which slides right over the core reactor from the inner box's exterior art. Once again Hot Toys has managed to design a package that is one-of-a-kind and visually impressive.
SCULPT: The tooling and details on this new Mark III surpass that of its predecessor by a long run. There is an incredible amount of intricate sculpted details all around the armored suit which make it look strikingly realistic. This figure includes a brand new head sculpt of Robert Downey's likeness wearing the Iron Man helmet. The portrait head bears a striking resemblance of Downey in his portrayal as Tony Stark. The Tony head includes a removable face plate which can be placed covering the portrait face or on top of the helmet. The face plate magnetically attaches to either part of the head but tends to slide out of place easily when placed on the top of the head.
The figure also includes an additional clean helmeted head with light-up function. The detailing on the Mark III's various components, such as the air flaps on the back and air brake deployment system on the legs, are truly impressive and look incredibly realistic. The inside of the Mark III's removable face plate features a surprisingly amount of sculpted details which makes the piece even more realistic.
Overall, this new version of the Mark III has significant new details which were not present on the previous release and there is a lot more tooling on the armor this time around which clearly outdoes its predecessor.
PAINT: Like the improved sculpt, this version of the Mark III features a much better paint job in comparison to the regular release. The red and gold paint is more metallic on this particular release which significantly enhances the look of the armor. The armor is also riddled in scuffs, scratches and blasts giving it a much more realistic and tangible look.
The Tony Stark head portrait features a bloody wound and is and closely resembles Robert Downey's look during his climactic battle with the Iron Monger. As expected, this piece is painted with the highest level of accuracy and precision with significantly enhances this already amazing piece.
ARTICULATION: Although this version of the Mark III is much more versatile than its predecessor, the figure has a lot less articulation than other Hot Toys figures. The limit of articulated joints is acceptable on this piece primarily because of the tooling and shape of the mech suit. Although there are numerous additional articulated parts on the figure, they do not lend them selves to the positioning of the figure. Hot Toys has managed to make the figure as versatile as possible without sacrificing the overall look and film-accuracy of the Mark III.
The MMS Mark III (Battle Damaged) version figure features the following 15 points of anatomical articulation:
- Ball Socket Neck, Shoulders, Wrists, Mid-Section, Inner Thighs and Ankles
- Hinged Elbows and Knees
- Swivel Torso
Additional articulated parts:
- Expandable forearm gauntlet
- Retractable countermeasure discs
- Poseable back air flaps with moveable metal flaps
- Re-engineered air brake deployment system
- Retractable forearm rockets
ACCESSORIES: This deluxe figure features several extras that other previous Iron Man figures do not include. The Mark III includes a highly detailed display base which resembles the roof top of the Stark Industries plant where Tony Stark fights with Iron Monger.
Aside from this fantastic display base, the figure also includes the following additional parts:
- 3 pairs of interchangeable hands (grasping, opened and closed fist)
- 1 ungloved (relaxed) left hand
- Light-up non-damaged head
- Half-masked Tony Stark head with magnetic face plate
- Spring-loaded shoulder munitions launchers
- Removable chest pieces (normal and battle damaged)
- Back air brake flaps
- Accessory tool
- (Hong Kong /Sideshow Exclusive) crushed helmet
COST & OVERALL IMPRESSION: With this figure's newly engineered body, highly detailed base and additional working features, this is definitely the best 1:6 scale Iron Man figures release so far. This deluxe figure provides collectors with a 2-in-1 option since the Mark III can be displayed in a normal or battle ravaged state thanks to all the additional parts it includes. The cost of this figure is slightly higher than other hot Toys releases mainly due to the fact that it is a deluxe figure and because of the large display base it includes. Although the Iron Man MMS Mark III (Battle Damaged) figure will set you back around $200, adding this amazing 1:6 figure to your collection is a no-brainer... if you can afford it, that is.

Sorry Bella, but The Hunger Games' Katniss Everdeen is my favorite (fictional) leading lady. From her bad@$$, super-fit, fighting attitude and ridiculously cute signature side-braid, it's hard not to have a girl crush.
While an apocalyptic fight for survival isn't the happiest of reasons to stay fit, we can take some of the fitness tenets Katniss, played by Jennifer Lawrence, used to overcome the competition. Bonus: try this eat for survival Hunger Games diet.
Photo by Bill Diodato
Archery and Agility – Katniss is a master at archery, a survival skill she used at her district which came in handy during the competition. Since shooting an arrow isn't always practical, try this agility drill on-set coach Joe Horrigan used to keep Jennifer in fighting shape. (Pictured, above)
Deep Extreme at Equinox – The class incorporates tribal dance moves with yoga and plyometrics for a fluid workout that fatigues the muscles and maximizes caloric burn. Oh and it'll make you sweat… a lot. Bonus: Deep Extreme is a SELF Editor favorite–check out our other must-try workout picks.
The Hunger Games Workout from DailyBurn.com – DailyBurn's Animal Core workout provides the functional training every tribute needs by mixing high intensity moves with flexibility and strength conditioning. Try this Hunger Games-inspired move at home:
Curtsy Squat Side Lunge: Standing with your feet together, hold heavy dumbbells in each hand–arms remain hanging and still the entire move. Step out to the side with your right leg, keeping your left leg straight. Hinge forward slightly but keep chest lifted. Push off your right foot and immediately step back and cross behind the left leg, bending both knees into a curtsy squat. Return to standing.
Tribute Training from New York Sports Club – This week, myself and fellow SELF staffers are going to be dropped into the arena for a high-intensity workout led by former Marine and NYSC Master Trainer, Eric Salvador. I'm told we're going to develop the endurance needed to master the crucial arena skills of archery, tree climbing, speed and strength, and we'll even be competing against one another… but not till the death! Grab your Peeta and try this exercise at home:
Foxface Quick Feet: Start standing, and shift weight back and forth between your feet (like running in place) as fast as you can. Either have a friend shout out commands, or alternate between the two every 10 seconds for the alloted time: "down" means you'll drop to a push up position on the floor then pop up as quickly as possible; "up" means you'll do a tuck jump. Continue for 2 minutes.

2006 Rental Housing Complex Analysis

2006 Rental Housing Complex Analysis
The number of rental housing units in Fairfax County declined by 1.76 percent in the past year, according to the county's 2006 Rental Housing Complex Analysis. As of January 2006 there were 62,156 rental units. According to the report:
- The decrease from January 2005 to January 2006 of 1,113 units was the result of conversion of rental apartment complexes to condominiums and fewer new rental apartments being built. A total of 2,594 units were converted to condominiums during the past year.
- The vacancy rate for all rental complexes providing data is 6 percent, a decrease of 0.8 percentage points from the January 2005 vacancy rate of 6.8 percent.
- The average monthly rent in the county for complexes without subsidies was $1,247 in January 2006. This is higher than that reported in January 2005, but in two planning districts, Baileys and Rose Hill, the average rent decreased. The average monthly rent for units in subsidized rental housing complexes was $1,001 in January 2006.
The rental housing analysis supplies data as of January 2006 on the number of rental units, vacancy rates and monthly rental costs of all Fairfax County rental housing complexes containing five or more units. No subsidized complexes are included in the calculation of rental costs. Housing units that are leased to renters by individual owners are not included in this report.
The report summarizes data for the county as a whole and for each supervisory and planning district. Data is also summarized by age of complex, type of structure and type of unit where appropriate. The total inventory of units includes all of the complexes included in the analysis. The number of rental units for the towns of Herndon and Vienna are included in their respective county supervisory districts.
Additional copies of the Department of Systems Management for Human Services 2006 Rental Housing Complex tables are available through the maps and publications sales department at the Fairfax County Government Center. The report also is available on the Fairfax County Web site as a PDF file at www.fairfaxcounty.gov/demogrph/housebut.htm.

Hubble Space Telescope images taken June 27 by a team of scientists that includes two Colorado researchers indicate a large dust storm on the Martian surface may be moving toward the July 4 landing site of NASAs unmanned Pathfinder spacecraft.
The researchers took high-resolution color images of the side of Mars where the landing site is located in the early morning, mid-morning and early afternoon of June 27 to check out the weather conditions prior to the Pathfinder landing. The imaging team includes Steve Lee of the University of Colorado at Boulders Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics, Todd Clancy of Boulders Space Science Institute, Phillip James of the University of Toledo, Mike Wolff of the Space Science Institute and Jim Bell of Cornell University.
The dust storm is filling the Valles Marineris canyon system -- a series of five- to eight-kilometer deep canyons stretching over the Martian surface area for 3,000 kilometers, or about 1,800 miles, said Lee. Reaching within about 600 miles of the Pathfinder landing site known as Ares Valles, the dust storm may be moving north, filling in the canyons and other surface depressions on the planets surface.
This is something we did not expect to see -- its very early in the Martian year for major dust storms to occur, he said of the event. It could go away tomorrow, stay for weeks or turn into a global dust storm. We havent seen a storm like this one before, so we just dont know.
Unless the dust storm evolves into a massive, global event, its effects on the Pathfinder mission should be minimal, said Lee.
HST and microwave observations taken by the team in March, April and May indicated the planet was cold and cloudy, said Lee. Those climate conditions are in stark contrast to the relatively warm and dusty conditions that existed when NASAs unmanned Viking and Mariner 9 spacecraft visited Mars in the 1970s.
The images are expected to be released over the Internet by the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore prior to the Pathfinders landing, said Lee. The team will continue to monitor Mars with HST for several months following the landing.
Pathfinder, which consists of a stationary lander and a tricycle-sized surface rover, will descend on the planet with the aid of parachutes, rockets and airbags. Both the lander and rover will carry a variety of scientific equipment and cameras and beam images back to Earth beginning July 4.
The lander will touch down in an ancient floodplain known as Ares Vallis, some 500 miles southeast of where the Viking 1 spacecraft landed in 1976.
Six CU-Boulder alumni are working for NASAs Jet Propulsion Laboratory on the Pathfinder mission, including mission manager Richard Cook, navigation team leader Pieter Kallemeyn, flight engineers Guy Beutelschies and Albert Nakata, imaging team member Justin Maki and postdoctoral researcher Nathan Bridges.

I think Giorgos Printezis is my favorite player of the draft.
Portland's gonna be ****ed when it comes time to give out extensions to EVERYONE ON THE TEAM.
They can probably afford it, since their entire roster is going to earn like a combined $2 while they're on their rookie contracts...
You, Never? Did the Kenosha Kid?
Their owner is mt moneybags, Paul Allen.
Not to mention, Fernandez probably won't be in Portland until next year, and Kopenen won't be over till 2009.
It wasn't about being the team everyone loved, it was about beating the teams everyone else loved.
Division Champions 1955, 1956, 1988, 1989, 1990, 2002, 2003, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008
Conference Champions 1955, 1956, 1988, 2005
NBA Champions 1989, 1990, 2004
Like I'm sure any year's thread would be, a lesson on how things look on draft night versus how they look 3 years later.
Crying over not getting Acie Law and Byars.
Can we just forfeit the rest of the season and draft John Wall right now?

Beckett plans to pitch through sprained thumb
GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Dodgers pitcher Josh Beckett said he plans to make his Friday start against the Cubs despite a sprained right thumb.
"I don't want to fall behind," said Beckett. "I think I can get through it."
Beckett hurt the outside of his thumb when it was hit by an opening clubhouse door about 10 days ago. To that point, Beckett was having a healthy recovery from last year's thoracic outlet syndrome surgery.
In his last start Saturday night, Beckett was charged with five runs in three innings, allowing three home runs.
Beckett struggled through a bullpen session on Wednesday, restricted to throwing fastballs. As the fifth starter, Beckett is not expected to make the trip to Australia or a regular-season start for the Dodgers until the middle of April because of numerous days off in the schedule.

A MAN is in hospital after the taxi he was in was struck by a rock in Corio in the early hours of Saturday morning.
The man and his girlfriend were passengers in a taxi travelling from Geelong to Lara on the Princes Highway, near the School Road intersection, at about 12.30am when the rock was thrown.
The man, 22, was in the front seat and received cuts to his left cheek, a sore jaw and glass shards to his eye from the attack.
The man's girlfriend and the taxi driver were uninjured.
A group of teenagers were seen in the area throwing eggs and rocks at cars, it was reported to police.
Police say "numerous patrols" of the industrial and bushland area failed to locate the group.
Police believe there were five or six teens aged about 15 to 16 years involved. They are described as Caucasian in appearance all wearing similar clothing of black shorts and white singlets.
Police are appealing for those involved to come forward.
Anyone with information about the incident or anyone who may have witnessed a similar incident should contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or log onto www.crimestoppers.com.au

As most of you know there is something called the "nestle" crunch time on the nba.com site http://www.nba.com/features/nestle/c...time_stat.html
in these stats it is a two way race between Pacers and Pistons mainly (gnah gnah) with JO in the number 1 spot, Ron at 8, Reg at 9 and Al at 10 the P's have 4 people in the top 10!
Proof that the East is slowly "getting better" ?
Proof that "crunch" is something that is found in the east?
Whatever it is, we can sure be proud of JO being the number 1

Firewatch Devs Issue DMCA Against PewDiePie After Latest Incident, Get Their Game Review-Bombed
Sep 19, 2017 | 7 Comments
It appears as if an announcement regarding Call of Juarez is going to be made tomorrow — possibly a new game reveal.
A new image posted to the official Call of Juarez Facebook page indicates some sort of announcement will be made on September 6, 2012, which is tomorrow of course. Other than that, no other details were mentioned.
Judging from the picture, it looks like developer Techland will take the series back to the Old West after attempting to modernize the Western feel with Call of Juarez: The Cartel.
Hopefully we'll have more details tomorrow.

This is a sponsored post about how to earn points on gas purchases at Kroger stores!
Same money on gas purchases at Kroger
Up to $1 off per gallon on fuel purchases at Kroger and 10¢ per gallon at participating Shell Stations.
3 easy ways to earn fuel points in Kroger stores every day:

'Then he took his place in front of the net and faced the demons lurking over his shoulder since Friday night, when he allowed a seemingly harmless shot by the Flyers' R.J. Umberger to slither under his arm. The goal broke a 3-3 tie and sent the Flyers toward a 5-4 win that evened the best-of-seven series at two games apiece. To Miller's detractors, the goal suggested the rookie might be cracking. But Miller held the Flyers scoreless in Sunday's 3-0 win, leaving Buffalo with a chance to end the Flyers' season tonight at the Wachovia Center.'

'The Sabres now have the NHL's No. 1 payroll, $66,695,357, putting them $2,395,357 over the $64.3 million salary cap, according to capgeek.com. They can exceed the cap by up to 10 percent during the offseason and have until opening night to get under. "I think in all likelihood we'll be a little below the number," Regier said. That means trades, buyouts or assignments to Rochester could be coming. Regier, who has said he would explore trades, said the market is "quiet" right now. "There are still a number of players out there that teams are trying to assess their situations and the unrestricted market," Regier said.'

This review is from Stamp Pad Inker 21448:
These were a little hard to get into, but they worked great once you got it opened. Be careful because if you just rip it open you will get ink on you.
This review is from Stamp Pad Inker 21448:
We used to buy these ink refills in roller form. You stopped making them and started with the Neat Flo bottle. However, I have a great deal of difficulty getting the foil top off when I first open it. It gets red ink all over me because it is so hard to get off. Please do something about the kind of sticky stuff you are using to seal the bottle.

Another year of television has gone by, and that means its time for a new season of Leverage to come home on DVD! The TNT original series (created by Dean Devlin) only gets better with time, and you can get your copy of the 3rd Season on June 7th, only a few weeks before the fourth season premiere.
By now you should be well acquainted with the Leverage crew. The team includes leader/face man/recovering alcoholic Nate Ford (Academy Award winner Timothy Hutton), professional grifter Sophie Devereaux (Gina Bellman), tough guy Eliot Spencer (Christian Kane), technology expert Alec Hardison (Aldis Hodge), and acrobatic thief Parker (Beth Riesgraf). Leaving behind their lives of crime (or in Nates case crime prevention), they have instead pledged to help people in ways that normal channels cannot. Often this includes elaborate deceptions, sting operations, and more underhanded techniques like forgery and outright theft. In the end though, the innocent and wronged always get their due and the perpetrators of the crimes are left red handed as the authorities arrive.
Leverage The Third Season comes packaged in a standard sized DVD case within an outer cardboard sleeve. The cover of both the case and sleeve shows off the team, with Nate in the center and the rest of the team members behind him under the shows logo. The back of the package has a rundown of the show along with a second set of pictures of the main team and a list of the special features. Inside the case are breakdowns of the four discs contents, with 16 episodes, audio commentaries, and lots of special features including deleted scenes, featurettes, a gag reel, and more.
Season Two of Leverage ended with quite a cliffhanger. With the FBI on one side, an arms dealer on the other, and Interpol watching closely, it was up to a wounded Nate to turn himself in so that his team could go free. The Third season starts big right out of the gate with The Jailhouse Job in which the team must free Nate from a supermax prison, all while helping out an inmate. As they do so the heroes are introduced to a mysterious Italian woman who tasks them with taking down an international crime lord... or be killed. This forms the basis of the Season Three story arc, in which even the most mundane jobs have some connection to the big boss. On the way, Nate and his merry band go up against everyone from bad guys like software executives, militias, African dictators, and mall Santas to personal foes like Parkers master thief mentor, Nates father Jimmy Ford, and of course Moreau himself. Their adventures take them into all sorts of interesting and dangerous locations too, like a high school reunion, ultra-tech skyscraper, coal mine, and a live violin performance by Hardison!
Leverage The Third Season had a lot of really strong episodes, with plenty of action to go along with interesting character development (equally doled out between the protagonists). The Rashomon Job was really interesting, with each team member reminiscing about a night when they each tried to steal the same item. The Ho Ho Ho Job brought Eliot face to face with evil Santas, and featured recurring stars Wil Wheaton as Chaos and guest Dave Foley. Any time TV characters have to go to a high school reunion you know its going to be good, as it was in Reunion Job with Kari Wuhrer. Leverage gets a great many cool guest stars, and this season included veterans like Michael OKeefe, John Schneider, Clancy Brown, Bill Engvall, Tom Skerritt, Bruce Davison, John Billingsley, James Frain, and more. Especially noteworthy were Elisabetta Canalis as the beautiful and secretive Italian and Goran Visnjic as the ruthless Moreau.
In its third season Leverage really hit a new stride with compelling character stories and exciting action. Theres no show on TV right now thats quite like it, and its just as good on DVD as it was during the original run, so whether or not you watched it live you need to get your hands on this. Hardcore fans of Leverage will really get a kick out of the sets special features, especially all of the behind the scenes material and deleted scenes. The commentaries are always good and informative, and as usual the gag reel is hilarious. Get your copy when it hits stores and online retailers on June 7th!
