About Me
just to live life and to really experience.....
i love travelling and meeting new people
and struggling with new languages..
its great fun..
i also love laughing, and being funny
life is so short..
> I'm very unique, (well maybe everyone thinks that!), and interesting, i LOVE cooking, nature, the sea,
chinese and japanese things, languages, meditation,meaningful communication , travelling
and l i f e.
have you ever been in a place, or even in a moment, where you know, and maybee feel that its just right- it's hard to explain it, or understand it exactly, but it's a knowing thing.
sometimes, your with people, and you feel like you really know the people really well, inside and out, you can identify with who they are and what they live for..
sometimes there is a lot to talk about and other times there is a strong feeling of understanding and connecting even without talking..
have you ever experienced this, or want to experience this?
Why I'm on Couchsurfing
i like to get involved.. and do.
sharing is a great thing..
being funny is important in life, i have a lot of serious reflective moments, but i also cant stop laughing and smiling at nothing, sometimes..
or days when everything is just funny.,
i love stuart wilde books.
i love being by the sea, mostly early morning, just after sunrise, when the sun is up, and its half light, the world and people are still asleep and things are still quite calm,
i find later in the day, the energy is different, its more active and not so peaceful.
its sort of like when everyone and everything is still sleeping there's that calmness.
also , in the evening, just before sunset, the color of the sky changes, and theres that coolness and calmness as the heat of the day slowly goes down and the night sets in.
i love these moments,.
i really love cooking
over the years i've tried a lot of cooking styles and techniques.
ive tried macrobiotics, also just eating a lot of grains like the monks do, sometimes, even for very long times, just eating veggies for a long while, raw and cooked...with other things that you cant resist..
and other times, its just crazy wild eating like pizza's and burgers.. and nothing healthy.
the thing i like most about food and cooking, is when you get all those fresh vegetables on your chopping board... give them a wash and just about to start cutting them. there is this peace....
then suddenly your chopping away, and there's all these wonderful smells,
not sure if your ever smelt them, its like paradise?
if your really there, with your veggies, in the moment, there is all this energy and smell.
something amazing is about to be created..
the amazing thing is that afterwards the food always tastes good and energising even if you dont add any spices..
how does that work, ? i'm not sure,
i think its about love and appreciation.
- books
- coloring
- dining
- cooking
- meditation
- traveling
- languages
Music, Movies, and Books
i love st
One Amazing Thing I've Done
meeting really amazing humble loving people with great big hearts, along the path and in life
quite often in the most unexpected places..
Teach, Learn, Share
people that have travelled or lived life, or who want to know about experiences, i'm not really into details, like how many poeple live in country x. i'm more into the experience.. and evolution through these wonderful things.
What I Can Share with Hosts
We all are amazing Individuals that come from different tribes,

The possibilty of rising DRAM prices got you down? Try PRAM instead!
Subject: General Tech | July 18, 2012 - 02:39 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: phase, phase change memory, micron, 45nm
Phase Change Memory is not new, Allyn listened to Intel talk about a breakthrough in this technology almost three years ago, but it is not common on the market. It offers two major benefits over the current RAM on the market, the first being its lack of volatility as the crystals it forms will remain even after power is cut off, the second is more dear to computer enthusiasts as it should be faster than DRAM. It may seem odd that a technology which requires the formation of crystals would be faster than the electronic flipping of bits but Micron claims that the trickle of voltage supplied creates seed crystals which speed the formation process during write cycles. The good news is that we should see real world testing soon as The Inquirer has heard that Micron has a good supply of PRAM to sell which means benchmarks are not far behind.
"MEMORY MAKER Micron has announced high volume availability of its 45nm phase change memory (PCM) chips.
Micron has been pushing the development of PCM chips with Intel for a number of years and is finally at a stage where it can offer chips to its customers. The firm announced that its 45nm PCM chips are available in a 1Gb PCM plus a 512Mb LPDDR2 package for mobile devices."

Ultimate 45nm silicon, the last of the Phenon X4s
Subject: Processors | May 3, 2011 - 01:04 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: phenom ii, x4, amd, 980, 45nm
Remember the Phenom II, that CPU which was once incredible but is now the processor that those waiting for Llano are getting a little bored with? It has a new flagship model for the X4 series, called the X4 980 which runs at 3.7GHz and sports the same 45nm technology we have come to know so well. Read on to see if Josh could find anything about the last of the 45nms that will knock the dust off his case or if we are looking at more of the same, if slightly faster, silicon.
"In the end, this is a simple 100 MHz increase in clockspeed for AMD for their high end quad core processor. It is not all that much faster than the previous X4 975, but at least it does not consume all that much more power than the previous model. It is a good all-around performer, and would make a solid foundation for a productivity and gaming machine for most users. Invariably though, most eyes are drawn to the horizon and the promise of Llano and Bulldozer. Hopefully for AMD these next generation processors will allow them to more adequately compete with Intel when it comes to raw performance."

Subject: APB For Ryan O'Reilly
Sent: Monday, February 18
Dan, I have to ask this -- how can you sit through Devils' hockey? I know they've sipped from Lord Stanley, but the style of play is akin to Chinese water torture. But I digress ...
So what do you make of the Flyers? The Jekyll and Hide act is grating. Today, they opened up a can of old-fashioned whup-arse and handed the Isles their worst-ever beating at Nassau Coliseum 7-0. Yet they barely showed up against the Leafs and Habs last week. Their talent base is strong, although I still think Paul Holmgren underestimated the challenge of replacing Mike Richards. Ilya Bryzgalov is certainly an enigma, wrapped in mystery, inside a riddle, but I don't think their current troubles are his fault. Pull out your stethoscope, Dr. Dan, and tell me your diagnosis -- for the on-ice roster and for fantasy, too.
Jiri Tlusty has come a long, long way since those ill-fated nude pictures that "somehow" ended up on the Internet back when he was a Leaf. He had wicked production last week, but he's streaky. I find it hard to believe that he's the best finisher on a line with Eric Staal and Alexander Semin, but he's delivering nonetheless. Do you think he's just a late bloomer? He is a first-round pick after all. Do you think he can be a Matt Moulson-type 30-35 goal scorer in the NHL? And if you had one waiver pick to use in a single-year, standard scoring league, would you pick Tlusty or Brad Boyes, and why?
We're seeing a lot of young goaltenders get action in the last few weeks. There's Ben Scrivens in Toronto, Jake Allen in St. Loo, Darcy Kuemper in Minny, Richard Bachman in Dallas and Peter Mrazek in Detroit. Braden Holtby seems to be getting his groove on [in Washington] and Ben Bishop did well Monday [in Ottawa's win over New Jersey.] Plus we can't forget Matt Hackett in Minny's system, Jacob Markstrom in Florida's system and Robin Lehner in Ottawa's system. How would you rank all of these younger goalies now and for three years in the future? And do you think we're seeing a "greening" of the netminding position? Goalies used to mature close to 30 (enter [Anaheim's] Viktor Fasth), but a lot of teams are going younger (and cheaper) these days ...
Last shot (for now). We touched on [Colorado holdout] Ryan O'Reilly in 140 characters or less last week, but let's dissect his situation a little bit more. Part of me thought he'd give in and sign after P.K. Subban inked his deal, but the young man and his agent appear resolute. Is he a good kid with morals who just won't be taken advantage of in a bad city or is he a troublemaker who'll bring a full set of luggage crap with him to a new team? There's a lot of interest out there and Sabres' radio keeps yowling about the need to bring him to the city of fires. Where does he land, what does he bring with him and is he really a Travis Zajac-like, two-way, top center?
Eagle out.

If you're referring to Monday's amazing game against Ottawa, then yes, I can understand why people might not want to watch the Devils. It's an argument I've been battling since the mid-1990's when all other teams were playing defense in the NHL and some variation of the "T" word (we've been issued directives from the mothership not to use the word "trap"). I look at Monday's loss as giving young Ottawa players confidence and helping the Senators showcase Ben Bishop for a trade. Honestly, Monday's game was a horrible sample for the Devils. Looked like they read about injuries to Erik Karlsson and Jason Spezza a bit too much and figured it would be easy after juggernaut Stephen Gionta scored 79 seconds into the game. I too digress...
As you can imagine, I don't like the Flyers too much. Prejudice aside, they are far too talented of a team to play as inconsistently as they have and Giroux looks like a shell of the man we saw last year. Obviously, missing Scott Hartnell gives him less space, but it's obvious they miss Jagr's ability to possess the puck and create lanes. Giroux broke out a bit today against the Isles, but I could have scored some of those goals.
The whole Atlantic Division is wacky. The Devils beat Philly last Friday but then lost to the Isles on Saturday who then spanked the Islanders on Monday. Bryz, as wacky as he is, has been great. (Ed note: This was written prior to Wednesday and Thursday's games). Bryz not been the problem save for one or two games. Guy is playing composed just getting no help thanks to a slow defense and inconsistent offense.
Wow, somehow I missed the Jiri Tlusty pictures. That'd never happen to a good ole Canadian boy, which the Leafs should have an entire roster of. Tlusty is enjoying the view on that top line with Eric Staal and Alexander Semin. He was all over the place against the Devils last week and had a nice game against Philadelphia. It seems like a combination of things. Tlusty was always rumored to be long on talent and seems like he has more space on a line with a great power forward and a dangler who can be elite when he chooses to be. It's always ironic when you see guys from the Leafs producing elsewhere.Ā
I can't see Tlusty hitting Matt Moulson-type levels this season and, as for a waiver claim on either him or Boyes, I like Tlusty better. Even if Tlusty ends up on a second line, it'd be with Jordan Staal, with Jussi Jokinen in that mix somewhere as well. Boyes seems to be the odd man out on the Tavares-Moulson combo and with Mark Streit and Lubomir Visnovsky dishing the puck, not to mention Kyle Okposo (will we ever see this "potential" he's rumored to have), Tlusty can have a larger role. I like what he brings to the duo of Eric Staal and Alexander Semin.
Those goalies you mentioned seem like a who's who I read about every year prior to drafts. Bachman and Hackett played well in limited roles last year and I can't see Florida holding Markstrom back any longer. Theodore is never going to be more than a serviceable starter this point of his career and Scott Clemmensen can't seem to hold on to the job when Theodore falters. True, Florida isn't a great team, but there's hope there with Jonathan Huberdeau and Eric Gudbranson.
I'll look at your list in terms of the teams the goalies are on, which will factor into the talent I've seen from those guys. Viktor Fasth is not a rookie.
1. Robin Lehner, OTT: I like this guy a lot and I can see the Sens more than willing to let Craig Anderson go when his contract expires. Bishop is a moveable asset, but Lehner's been outstanding in Binghamton. Can't see him being a backup much longer.
2. Jacob Markstrom, Florida: It's his time. You can't tell me that Theodore or Clemmensen are going to give them anything more. Let the kid play, but he could be seeing more rubber than a Goodyear factory when he does get the call.
3. Peter Mrazek, Detroit: Great system that creates winning goaltenders, albeit Mrazek will have the challenge of doing it without Nick Lidstrom. Guy has looked good save for Sunday against Minny.
4. Matt Hackett, Minnesota: Seems like his path to the NHL is the shortest. Sadly, Josh Harding's medical condition factors into this, but if I'm Minnesota, I let Niklas Backstrom walk this summer. Give the reins to Hackett. Talk about a loaded young team: Parise, Suter (okay, not too young there), buyout Heatley and Setoguchi, give the keys to Coyle, Granlund, Dumba etc.Ā
5. Richard Bachman, Dallas: Jake Allen, St. Louis: Like what he offers, but Halak will be there a bit. Elliott is as good as gone. In Big D, when healthy, Lehtonen can be great. The operative word there being ōcan.ö However, Bachman doesn't have the luxury of Kevin Shattenkirk, Alex Pietrangelo and Barrett Jackman in front of him in Dallas.Ā
6. Ben Scrivens, Toronto: I can't actively endorse a Leafs goalie. Let him get shutouts against other than the depleted Sens or Panthers; too hostile of an environment for a goalie to succeed. Is he that much of an upgrade over James Reimer?
I'm a bit surprised O'Reilly hasn't signed yet, but the Avs looked good today against Nashville, regardless of the offsides goal from Matt Duchene (I own him in one league, so I'll take it). The Avs are starting to take form with their top few forwards. Stastny appears to be waking up and David Jones and Jamie McGinn have potential there. O'Reilly is just a damn good two-way player. Apparently he wants a deal to take him straight to UFA status.
I can see the Avs moving him, and Buffalo would be interesting, seeing him slot in at that second line. (Can't see the unstoppable trio to Vanek-Hodgson-Pominville going anywhere soon.). O'Reilly strikes me as having more of a spark to his game than Zajac. Don't get me wrong, I have a white Zajac sweater, but the guy could be more consistent. A lot of teams out there would love to have a budding two-way talent, but who has the leverage here? Colorado or O'Reilly? Is his highly touted rep from junior creating more of a buzz around him too? Or has that stigma dissipated? I can't see O'Reilly being a locker room problem somewhere.
What weaknesses do you see in Anaheim right now? Getzlaf and Perry are starting to heat up, as is Bobby Ryan, but the team has a solid support in the likes of Teemu, Saku Koivu, Matt Belesky and Daniel Winnik (great checking forward). With the way Fasth is playing, they're definitely staking a claim in the West.Ā
Watching the Montreal-Carolina game currently, Habs up 1-0 in 3rd, I like what I'm seeing from Alex Galchenyuk this season. Is he the top rookie outside of Justin Schultz or Vladimir Tarasenko? Also, the Brandon Prust signing seems to be rather understated by Montreal.Ā
Till next time,

Your goalie list is interesting and close to mine -- there's plenty of gold in that list of names I gave you. There's little to choose from in Markstrom, Lehner and Hackett who I'd rank 1-2-3. Opportunity is knocking for all three, but given the supporting casts, I think Hackett has the softest cushion followed by Lehner and then Markstrom. I really like Mrazek next -- he has exploded this season -- and would put Scrivens and his smarts ahead of Bachman and Allen. I'd actually slide Kevin Poulin on the Island in a hair ahead of Scrivens -- Poulin is good and there's a lot of opportunity with that squad.Ā
Anaheim is intriguing and baffling, all at the same time. I think it's now or never for them. Teemu Selanne is still fantastic, but his totals so far have come in big bunches and he'll turn 43 just after the Cup is awarded. Saku Koivu is on borrowed time and their younger guys are primarily supplemental scorers. I do like Emerson Etem and Kyle Palmieri, but their system is littered with two-way players -- they don't have the elite guy (or two) coming and Justin Schultz rejected them outright. Corey Perry caught lightning in a bottle two years ago and I don't think they can manage to keep Perry, Ryan Getzlaf and Bobby Ryan. Viktor Fasth has been great, but I don't think Jonas Hiller is done yet -- he's been fine at even strength so he'll be fine once the D tightens a little in front of him. He's a good buy-low candidate.Ā
I really like Alex Galchenyuk -- I think he's just what the doctor ordered in Montreal. Brendan Gallagher could be a 70-point guy some day -- he's pesky, persistent and a fantastic leader; he comes with smarts and skill. He and P.K. Subban will be fan faves in Montreal for a long time. The Brandon Prust signing was overlooked by many, but he's been one of the keys that has given the Habs' smaller players a bit of room to play. I like Prust in bleu, blanc et rouge.Ā
I really like the idea of the lightning round, so I'm going to fire some more at you. Pick only one from each of the following sets and give me one sentence explanation for your reason. And one last criteria -- fantasy perspective only:
- Which style of hockey has the greatest success over the next five years -- the big, strong, power game of the Kings or speed, skill and swagger of the Oil?
- Kevin Shattenkirk or Alex Pietrangelo?
- Taylor Hall, Jordan Eberle, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins or Nail Yakupov?
- Tyler Seguin or Taylor Hall?
- Vladimir Tarasenko or Nail Yakupov?
- Ryan Callahan or Dustin Brown?
- Evgeni Malkin, Sidney Crosby or Steven Stamkos?
Lastly, WTF was Jannik Hansen thinking? He delivered a forearm shiver to the back of Marian Hossa's previously concussed noggin. I'm a Hawks' fan. I am not happy.

Sent: Wednesday, February 20
As we're typing this, I'm seeing Pittsburgh and Philly slug it out with defensive play akin to Europe in the late 1930's. I honestly think the Germans faced more resistance when they entered Paris than the defense these two teams are offering to the opposition. Not good for Bryzgalov owners like myself or those that rolled the dice on Vokoun for a spot start. (Bryz blitzed Thursday night too).
I honestly think my praise for Galchenyuk is borne out of my using the Habs in a dynasty game on NHL 13, guy has skills and I have both him and Gallagher...(back to digressing). I know several Rangers fans, our colleague Jan Levine, being one, that were not happy to see Prust take Amtrak's Adirondack line from the Garden up to Montreal.
Speaking of Anaheim, think they MAY have jumped the gun a bit on signing Fasth to a two-year extension worth $5.8 million. Given, the guy is 8-0-1 and has the Ducks near the top of the Western Conference, but there is going to be extreme regression back to the mean. I liken hot rookie goalies to stud rookie pitchers in baseball. They're great for about half a year, then once someone has a book on them, the same things don't seem to work. I'm eager to see how Fasth reacts once the West has an idea of his play. It seems every few years Anaheim goalies usurp one another. Giguere by Bryzgalov, Bryz by Hiller, now Hiller by Fasth. Talk about eating your young. Not to mention they have vanquisher of Canada John Gibson in the system (for a nice touch of irony, was selected with a pick from the Leafs. Not quite Kurvers for Niedermayer or Kessel for Seguin/Hamilton, but still).
As for your reaction to Jannik Hansen, entirely justified. The sentence has been handed down and I honestly thought it would have been more than one game. Was expecting closer to three. It's one of the most boneheaded plays I've ever seen...seems like he decided to bash Hossa in the back of the head once he was out of position for the puck. Is there some karmic force making Hossa a harbinger for injuries to himself? Before this, his second goal was such a power stride around Schneider, it's easy to forget how hard he can be to handle physically when he chooses to assert himself.
Lightning round...fantasy only.
Kings/Bruins/Blues nasty or Slick Oil? Numbers wise, the Oilers, provided your league doesn't count plus minus.
Shattenkirk or Pietrangelo? Pietrangelo. More goal potential, although both will be elite (I believe St. Louis has become my mistress team. Backes, Shattenkirk, Oshie etc....)
Hall, Eberle, RNH or Yakupov? Eberle. With skill levels and numbers equal, I follow the shots and goals. Eberle will benefit many owners with RNH, Schultz and Yakupov dishing him the puck.
Hall or Seguin? I love Hall's potential on the Oilers offensively where Seguin and the Bruins are concerned more with that cumbersome task of actually stopping other teams from scoring. Tough call though.
Tarasenko or Yakuov? Both are seasoned in junior and unutterably skilled. I think Tarasenko will find a more regular top scoring role with less friends in the sandbox with whom to share the toys.
Ryan Callahan or Dustin Brown: Assuming it's a mutli-category league, Callahan. Standard league: Still Callahan. Guy can just produce across the board and bag you close to 30.
Evgeni Malkin, Sid The Kid or Stammer? Malkin, but close with him and Stamkos. The injury threat is more ominous, but points-per-game and Malkin can hang with Stamkos in goals department and produce more at even strength and without an elite set-up man.
Crazy ending in Pittsburgh, I pity the person who started both Bryz and Vokoun in a roto league. Off to Denver here on NBC Sports Network....speaking of which, the Avs actually got a goal from a defender. Tyson Barrie is on a quiet tear after lighting up the AHL last year, going to snag him in one league.
May we all have the amount of chances to achieve that Lindy Ruff has had in whatever walk of life we're in. Guess he can take the Brett Hull voodoo doll home now. Guy was a model coach.

The Fasth contract is a bit bizarre, but the guy isn't your average rookie. He's spent a lot of time toiling overseas and I don't think he'll suffer the same problems as a young goalie. But you are right about players getting a "book" on guys. I do think he'll adapt faster than the young'uns.
The Lindy Ruff firing actually surprised me -- I just never thought that day would ever come. It wasn't that long ago that Darcy Regier said Ruff would be his coach as long as he was the GM. I guess ownership has laid it on the line. I'm quite interested to see how Ron Rolston will help bring Cody Hodgson and Tyler Ennis along -- they never fit well with Ruff. I'm eager to see how a lot of other players respond, too. It might be a good time to snap some of those guys up. Some of them will be slightly undervalued because of their performances to date ...
I like a lot of your lightning round picks and your explanations actually swayed me in your direction on at least one. But I'm a Shattenkirk fan, simply because Pietrangelo will have to do more heavy lifting in his own zone and over time, that means his focus will be a bit more divided. And as much as I love Eberle for his quote-unquote clutch play, I believe it's Hall who stirs the drink in Oil Country. He generates the offense and the others tend to follow. Yakupov has the highest pure upside, but I agree with you about the sandbox issue -- I think he likes to admire himself in the mirror a little more than others. It's just a gut, but it will be interesting to see how he adapts to being one of many wunderkinds.
The Flyers-Pens game WAS nuts. Jakub Voracek looked like the guy we've all been waiting for and Wayne Simmonds just keeps currying favor with me -- that guy has an outstanding package of skills. But the thing that stuns me -- and I'll give you the last word on it -- is Paul Martin's production. He's now tied with Kris Letang as the Pens' top scorer from the back end. Any chance he keeps it up? What does he finish with this season?

Fair points about Fasth since he is 30 and been a pro for a number of years. I just worry if now is the time for an owner to deal him. Guy is playing out of his head.Ā
I too was surprised by Ruff's dismissal, but, Hodgson and Ennis exploding is a pleasant thought. I have to think now is a good time to get in on Tyler Myers or other underachieving Sabres (cough...Ryan Miller...cough).Ā
While watching the Flyers-Pens game (ref's fault they lost according to Pens' fans btw, don't know if you were aware) I was thinking about Simmonds too. He's a complete player, one of those "love him when he is on your team" guys: size, speed, physical game and good hands. He and Voracek are making up for quite a bit of Giroux's slowly turning play. I pictured Scott Howson screaming at the TV Wednesday night with vindication over Voracek..."See, see. I was right!!!" Either that or "where the hell was this in Columbus?!?!"
Owners of Paul Martin should move him now. Look at his track record. Guy has never been a scorer or a shooter. Even in his career years with the Devils, he never shot much.ĀHe'sĀonly broke 100 shots twice and has 33 goals in 567 games. He disappears offensively despite monster minutes and never developed that next gear offensively. (Fun fact: Martin is one of several defenseman the Devils had in the system to justify letting Brian Rafalski walk). Kris Letang is a freakishly talented player and one of the strongest skaters in the league, watch Tanger use his edges next time you take in a Pens game. Letang will bounceback, but Martin will have his usual few goals, decent assist numbers, which are usually concentrated over a few spurts of productivity. On that power play, Martin is an option in very deep leagues provided you don't expect much. I love Simon Despres' upside there in Pittsburgh.Ā
Until next week, keep your head up and feet moving,Ā

The Minnesota Department of Health has identified two new probable cases of the H1N1 influenza virus in the state. Both of the cases involved Southwest High School in Minneapolis.
The school will remain open.
Minnesota now has one confirmed case and 11 probable cases. More tests are necessary to see whether the probable cases are in fact swine flu.
Health officials earlier this week backed away from recommending that schools with swine flu cases be closed, saying the virus was acting like ordinary seasonal flu.

Lower Greenville isn't exactly the classiest stretch of road in the city. All those skanky neon signs and dark alleyways, the clubs that reek of back-room drug deals. There are a few bright spots, like the Cavern, with its chatty bartenders and cozy upstairs lounge, but Taco Cabana probably calls more people to Lower Greenville than live music. That's made Poor David's Pub a weird fit for the area. A folksy singer-songwriter joint that has catered to a quieter, graying crowd for more than two decades, Poor David's Pub is a fixture that always seemed a bit of an anomaly, like a veteran poker player who never quite found his groove. So it's not surprising that Poor David's Pub is moving.
"First of all, my lease expired," explains owner David Card, a charismatic and talkative older man who has steered the club for some 26 years. "And they didn't want me to renew without charging me megabucks. Secondly, it's an opportunity to take Poor David's to the next level--better parking, better neighborhood, better everything." Card, a longtime renter, finally got his piece of the pie at 1313 S. Lamar St., next door to Gilley's Dallas and near South Side on Lamar, developer Jack Matthews' effort to patronize the careers of local artists by subsidizing rent.
It's no secret that Card hadn't had an easy go of things in his old neighborhood. Last November, a musician was shot in the neck after playing a gig at Poor David's. Soon after, the surrounding locales were plagued by a serial mugger. Mayor Laura Miller, in a don't-be-scared PR move, ate dinner on Lower Greenville, but the restaurant she chose--a cheesy tropical-themed place called Coconuts--didn't say much for the quality or sophistication of the area.
As he looks toward the venue's next phase, Card hopes a genuine entertainment district might flourish in this South Dallas neighborhood. "There's a group of people down there who have similar interests--they want wholesome, naturally developed, artsy kinds of things." Starbucks was turned down for development. So was Hooters. "It's got a long-term plan instead of a short-term plan. Lower Greenville could have been the next entertainment area if they'd had a long-range view. Instead, they were all about 'Let's make money, money, money.' No, let's make a city."

One afternoon a few weeks ago, Card drove me out to his new location. On the way, he toured me around his gentrifying neighborhood. Over here, a sleek coffee shop stood among the derelict buildings. Over there, a bright, family-run Tex-Mex restaurant, vivid with primary colors and Mexican tile. And that? A cool dive bar, Lee Harvey's, that plays music and caters to the artists in the area.
When we arrive at the venue site, it's littered with sawdust and floor plans, still weeks away from completion. Not much bigger than the old spot but full of possibility. Card tours me around excitedly, showing me the raised stage, the giant windows that look out on the city, the roomy dressing room he has decided to name after Guy Clark.
"See, Guy Clark got tired of playing small clubs, and at Poor David's, there was no dressing room, no place he could relax and get away from people," Card explains. Eventually, Clark--one of the quintessential Texas singer-songwriters--stopped playing the place. "I said, 'Guy, come back and open my new place, and I'll name my dressing room after you.'" Card laughs. "He jumped all over it."
That show will be August 18, when the new doors open. In the meantime, though, there is the matter of shuttering the old, familiar spot. That comes on Sunday, with a 12-hour blowout from noon to midnight. "The idea is to let anyone play who's relevant to Poor David's," Card explains. "Anyone who wants to put their butts in the duct-tape chair or play on the stage one last time." Performers include locals Max Stalling, Kristy Kruger and Jayson Bales. Susan Gibson, who wrote the Dixie Chicks' "Wide Open Spaces," will finish with a 30-minute set. Her last song? "Tonight, We're Gonna Close This Place Down."

AUSTRALIAN-OWNED banks in New Zealand shouldn't be talking about interest rate rises while they're reaping "obscene profits" at the expense of the economy, the NZ Greens say.
Party co-leader Russel Norman is citing just-released Reserve Bank data which he says shows ANZ, BNZ, ASB and Westpac's combined profit was $NZ3.6 billion ($A3.44 billion) last year - a 10 per cent increase on 2012.
"Last year, Westpac was the only one of the big four banks not to post an all-time record profit," he said on Friday.
"The Reserve Bank data shows all of them have been making record profits - the cost of business loans and mortgage payments could be lower if our banking sector wasn't so obscenely profitable."
Dr Norman says they shouldn't be "talking up interest rates" while they're raking in those profits.
"Excessive profits don't represent a strong, secure banking sector, they represent the New Zealand public being ripped off," he said.
The Greens' policy is to build up New Zealand-owned banks, which represent only six per cent of the sector, so they can compete with the big four Australian-owned banks.

RRP: £7.99 You save: £3.99 (50%)
Good things come in small packages
Reviewed: 11 July 2014 by Purring-Pussy, a Bisexual Going Steady Female
The Si Novelties Mini Realistic Cock and Balls 3 Inch, is the cutest and most adorable of cocks.
It is totally phthalate free, meaning it is safe to use as a sexy toy. It is also firm, but flexible and realistic looking. It has a smooth base, a veiny shaft and tapered head. The cock can be used for anal beginners, as the balls will prevent it from disappearing into the unknown.
You can also use the cock as a novelty item - dare to have it on show at home, or in the office. Would be great as a gift for all your hens at a hen party.
The cock may also be handy for any ladies that suffer with vaginal tightening. With lashings of your favourite lube, this little fella will be able to slide into your vagina with ease.
Overall, it's a pretty nifty little item, with a few uses and is of great quality. Great to buy as a sex toy or novelty.
- Pros
- Its realistic look.
- Cons
- Nothing.
- Bottom line
- Cute, useful and good quality.

Very cute mini-cock!
Reviewed: 16 March 2011 by Mr Pete, a Bisexual Single Male
This cock is the cutest thing I've seen in ages! He is very small, with a nice big head. He stands on his balls, so is ideal as an ornament "with a difference" on your desk at home (or at work if you are that daring!).
That's not the only use, however, as you can pop him up your bum hole (or vagina if you have one handy!) and keep him there in secret. Very horny.
Great value for money. Recommended.
- Pros
- Nice and bendy with a big head.
- Cons
- There is nothing I didn't like about this cock.
- Bottom line
- A very cute cock to have on your desk or in your love hole.

Small but well formed :-)
Reviewed: 12 October 2006 by BBG
The Lovehoney description says it's "perfect as a strap on for your smurf" which made me laugh - it's true though, this thing is tiny!
Most people will probably buy this as a joke item to stick on keyboards or teddy bears for a laugh. I bought one to use on a friend who totally isn't into anal sex and swore she could never, EVER fit a dildo up her ass. This just might prove her wrong. It's about the length and width of my ring finger.
If my friend likes the feel of it who knows, it might even get her interested in trying something bigger, in which case it'll be money well spent. And if it doesn't do the trick I can always get out the glue and create Porn Star Action Man :-)
- Pros
- Nice and small for the really tight, nervous anal beginner
- Cons
- May be of interest to Catholic Priests...
- Bottom line
- Endless amusement for infantile grown males with a tube of glue.

'Tis the season for giving, and pop icon Janet Jackson is feeling especially charitable.
The "Pleasure Principle" singer — the latest celebrity to add her voice to the "It Gets Better" campaign — has partnered with toy manufacturer Mattel to promote an one-of-a-kind Janet Jackson Barbie currently being hawked for a good cause. "Miz Jackson, If Ya Nasty" in Plastic is up for auction via CharityBuzz.com, with all funds benefitting Project Angel Food — a Meals-on-Wheels-like organization that delivers meals to families affected by HIV/AIDS, cancer, and other life-threatening illnesses in the Greater Los Angeles area.
The collector's edition Divinely Janet Doll comes accompanied with a Certificate of Authenticity and a unique display case.
"Inspired by the ultra-glam black gown she wore during her 2010 American Idol performance, I knew we had to recreate that look for her one of a kind doll," says Mattel Designer Jackeline Gonzalez, who crafted the Janet Barbie. "Look closely dolls, Janet's sassy, short hairstyle, unique face and body sculpt and face painting all meticulously duplicate the legendary singer's features."
Gonzalez "duplicated the black gown, including the body-hugging cat-suit underneath that she revealed during her second, upbeat performance. Her gown is kissed with bling created by countless hand-placed Swarovski crystals. Even her mic is crystal-studded."
Visit CharityBuzz.com to join the bidding! The auction ends Dec. 15!

Big Green Egg - Pt 18 - First Stir Fry
12/04/12 -04:31 Filed in:
Big Green Egg
Stir Frying
Part I of this blog entry covered getting started in stir frying and wok cooking-the equipment & accessories needed. It does have some aspects that are specific to the Big Green Egg, but most of it would apply to wok cooking on any grill or wok cooking in general. This entry covers seasoning my new wok and my first stir fry. It has some Egg specific information, but most of it is also general information.
SEASONING THE WOK: Part 1 - Oven:
The first step was to wash the wok in some hot soapy water. You can use a somewhat abrasive sponge at this point. This one cleaning is the one time you can use some dishwashing soap on your wok. Once it is seasoned, you will only use hot water. Once the wok is cleaned off and dried, the next step is to apply some oil and put the wok in the oven. I used peanut oil, but any high temperature oil will do. The oil should be applied in a thin layer to the inside and outside of the wok. Any excess oil should be mopped up. The oven is preheated to 425 degrees and the wok goes in for 20 minutes. I put one shelf in the lowest position and put a 1/2 sheet pan on it to catch drips and keep hot oil off of the heating elements at the floor of the oven. The wok went on the second shelf on the second lowest position. My oven is relatively narrow and I found out I had to both tilt my wok from side to side and position the D-handles pointing towards the corners of the oven so the door would close. If you have a narrow oven like mine, you might want to test out the positioning of the wok BEFORE you have the oven heated to 425 degrees. Also if your wok has wooden handles, you will need to remove them or otherwise protect them from the heat.
You may want to consider seasoning the wok on your BGE or other grill. About half way through the 20 minute seasoning time there was a LARGE buildup of smoke. My range hood is about 3' (1 M) away from the oven and even on high there was more smoke buildup than the hood could handle. Luckily for me, my Kitchen has a pocket door separating the Kitchen from the Dining Room and the rest of the house. Otherwise I surely would have set off the smoke detectors. But to keep the smoke level from increasing, I also had to open my Kitchen door and Kitchen window. I also had to turn off the heat to avoid circulating this smoke around the house. All of this is solved simply by curing the wok on your Egg or grill. You will want and need to put your wok so the lid is down and the entire wok is inside. If your wok has a single handle instead of D-handles, you may not be able to close the lid. You will also want to take steps to protect wooden handles, if your wok has them.
Part 2 - Cook up some Aromatic Vegetables:
The wok emerged from the oven a very golden brown. It immediately went on the stove over high heat. I added a little peanut oil and tossed on a bunch of Chinese Chives to cook. The tradition is cooking an aromatic vegetable in the wok which serves to remove any left over metallic taste from manufacturing the wok. The Chinese Chives are the traditional vegetable used to season a wok, but any aromatic veggie like scallions would do. The Chinese Chives actually look a lot like scallions, because they are much larger in size than the chives you see in your regular supermarket. I used the wok spatula to keep the chives moving around the bottom and sides of the wok.You basically keep the chives moving until they are withered and blackened, then you remove them and let the wok cool down. After it has cooled down it gets rinsed with hot water and dried off.
FIRST COOK: Shopping:
I was happy to find that most of the ingredients I needed were actually found in my regular supermarket. The baby corn and sliced bamboo shoots were found in the international section of my regular supermarket. Granted it is a more higher end supermarket, not a deep discount style supermarket. I would say take some time to look around carefully yourself and see what types of Asian foods, spices and seasonings that your supermarket stocks. In my experience, it seems some of the workers at the store don't know the international aisle as well as they should. I was actually told with certainty that they didn't carry baby corn and sliced bamboo shoots, when in fact they did. I did have to go to a local Aisian market to get the Chinese chives and a couple of sauces.
The prep was fairly straight forward and not terribly time consuming. The one thing you are looking to do is get the various ingredients that will cook together on the wok to be about the same size. This way they will cook evenly. Initially, as is my habit, I measured everything out into bowls. Later several of the ingredients were combined to make sauces or marinades. I also took items that were going to be added to the wok together and put them in a single bowl. Working a short high temperature cook like this, you want to not have to do much searching or thinking out at the grill. I placed the bowls on a metal half sheet pan arranged in the order I would be using them. I also included a small bowl of water to test out the wok for temperature.
I loaded a second sheet pan with an empty bowl and a piece of foil, my wok spatula, 2 pairs of gloves, my iPhone which would be serving as a timer. The empty bowl was to hold the partially cooked chicken until it went back on the wok at the end. The foil was to serve asa cover. Many of these recipes have you almost cook the meat or the main vegetable and then hold it in a bowl. You cook the rest of the stir-fry and then add in the meat or main veggie at the end to finish up. One of the pairs of barbecue gloves I used had long sleeves that go up almost to my elbows. Working over such a hot flame, I wasn't sure whether I needed to have long sleeved gloves. But it never hurts to have them around.
Make sure you have everything you need out at the grill BEFORE you start stir-frying. Once you get started there is no time to run in to the Kitchen to grab something you forgot to bring outside with you.
Grill Prep:
Before I started my food prep, I got the grill ready so later I could just come out and light it. I was shooting for a 550 degree (290 C) cooking temperature and generally I can hit most temps within 30 minutes. For this cook though where I was looking for a high temperature and was going to cooking with the lid open, I wanted to make sure I was good and stabilized at 550 degrees (290 C) so I was going to allow 45 minutes from lighting the grill to the start of cooking. So I would do the prep until there was 45 minutes of work left and then I'd go out and light the grill, and come back in and finish. Another reason for doing this before the prep, is although I wear rubber gloves to handle the charcoal related tasks I still may get charcoal dust on my hands. When I go back in to the Kitchen to start the prep I can wash my hands thoroughly before starting the prep. This as opposed to rushing out midway through the prep and loading charcoal. All I need to do is light the charcoal, which doesn't get my hands dirty.
Whenever I do a high temperature cook, I do a thorough cleaning of the Egg. I swirl the lump around with the Ash Tool to clear out the excess ash and small pieces of lump at the bottom of the cooking chamber. Then I thoroughly clean out the ash drop and top off the Egg with some fresh lump up to the top of the ceramic cooking chamber. Then I put in the Spider to hold the wok. I preposition 4 paraffin fire starters at the 12:00, 3:00, 6:00 and 9:00 positions. I place some small pieces of lump so they partially cover the fire starters.
Food Prep:
The food prep was nothing out of the ordinary, the main trick was to make sure the various ingredients were cut up so that all of Item A were the same size as the other pieces of Item A and all of Item B were the the same size as the other pieces of Item B. The recipes were all quite detailed about what size to cut the various ingredients so they will cook quickly and evenly. Some of the ingredients were actually canned and so they were already at the proper size. The most time consuming aspect of the prep was cutting the chicken down to the proper size and even that didn't take a tremendous amount of time.
The Cook:
The actual cook was the quickest part of all of this. The recipes from
Breath of a Wok
follow a pattern: The wok is preheated & around a tablespoon of oil is added to the wok and heated. The main ingredient (meat so far for me) is placed on the wok and then is spread out evenly and allowed to cook undisturbed for around a minute. then it is stir-fried for 1-2 minutes until browned on all sides and ALMOST cooked through. Guessing what almost cooked through looks like may be the trickiest part until you do a few wok cooks. Then the ALMOST cooked meat is pulled and set in a bowl. A small amount of oil is added to the wok and the veggies (peppers, onions, shallots) are stir-fried next. These get cooked quickly and the sauce is added in. Sometimes it is allowed to thicken and reduce before the ALMOST cooked meat is added back in and other times the meat goes right back in. This mixture is stir-fried 1-2 minutes until it has thickened and reduced. As of this writing I have done 6 different stir-fry recipes and they have all followed this same basic pattern.
The Big Green Egg was up to 550 degrees in about 30 minutes and I adjusted the upper and lower vents to stabilize the Egg. I checked on it a couple more times to insure it held 550 degrees and I was ready to go. Be sure to burp the lid, when you open it, or you will get flashbacks. Now there are several combinations of upper and lower damper settings that will achieve the same cooking temperature. Be sure that your lower draft door settings allow you some room to close the draft door down further. In other words better to have the lower draft door 1 1/2 inches open (4 cm), than 1/2 inches (1.25 cm). If you need to cool down the Egg the 1 1/2 inches give you more adjustment range.
Once the Egg was stabilized, I pre-heated the wok with the lid down for two minutes. I then opened the lid and flicked a few drops of water onto the wok to see if it was up to temperature. The water sizzled and evaporated in about a second, which is just what I was looking for. Before starting the cook, I adjusted the lower draft door to 50 percent of it's current setting. This would help make up for the extra air brought in because the lid was now going to be up for the duration of the cook. The first step was to swirl on some vegetable oil and then throw on the chicken pieces and the garlic. Allow the oil to heat up before adding food. If the oil is hot, the food will always sizzle when you add it to the wok. I used the wok spatula to spread the chicken out in an even layer across the bottom of the pan. Once distributed, the chicken was left undisturbed for 30 seconds to begin browning.
After the 30 seconds had passed I began stir-frying it, using the wok spatula to move the food around the wok and flipping it continuously. One thing nice about the wok spatula I bought was it had a real long handle. This allowed me to stand far enough back from the wok that I wasn't catching the intense heat coming off the Egg & wok. Also I highly recommend using an actual wok spatula. In addition to the longer handle, the curved front edge fits the shape of the wok and allows you to stir-fry and not have the food slip under the crack so to speak. The turned up sides help you gather more food and flip it, without the food slipping off the sides of the spatula. When a tool is well designed for the task at hand, you can tell right away. The wok spatula is just such a tool. The chicken was to be stir-fried until it was almost cooked. It took a bit longer than the recipe called for but the chicken was finally turning opaque on all sides and you couldn't see any pink peaking through, meaning it was getting close to being done. The chicken was pulled and put into a bowl and covered with foil to hold for a few minutes.
The veggies were up next. Check the recipe to see if you need to add more oil before cooking the next food items. The baby corn, carrots & sliced bamboo shoots were placed on the wok and cooked for about 2 1/2 minutes until they were softened and beginning to brown. The food is kept in constant motion between pushing and pulling the food back and forth, up & down the sides of the wok. This motion is alternated with flipping the food over to get all sides to cook. The chicken was added back on for 30 seconds and then the sauce was poured on top and the entire group of ingredients was stir-fried for another 30 seconds and it was done. I brought the wok inside and transferred the finished stir-fried chicken to the serving platter. I garnished it with some diced scallions and it was time to eat.
End Results:
This first stir-fry was a great success. The food was cooked just the way I like it. The chicken was moist and tender and the veggies were crispy with a nice snap to them, but not too chewy. There is a little winter wrinkle I've discovered to all of this. The food continues to cook until you have transferred it from the wok into your serving platter. Once you start the stir-fry you don't have time to run into the Kitchen to fetch a serving platter. If you bring the serving platter out to the grill with you it will be too cold. So in my case I have to bring the wok inside to transfer the food. The food is still sizzling and cooking in the wok during this time. I discovered this during my second wok cook, a beef dish using flank steak. When I pulled the wok off the grill, the pieces of steak looked perfectly cooked. When I got the stir-fry in the serving platter the edges of the beef had blackened and were a bit past where I'd intended to take them. They weren't burned but were headed in that general direction. Since then I have been stopping about 30 seconds sooner than I might otherwise do, to make up for the additional 30 seconds it takes me to run the wok into the Kitchen.
Also the wok handles are blisteringly hot, you would be wise to use double gloves. Have a wok ring pre-positioned on the counter so you aren't fumbling around for a place to land the hot wok. I also have my serving platter right there so I can get the food out of the hot wok ASAP.
So there you have it. I've had good results so far, but key was having lots of help from experienced Big Green Egg wokers and several good cookbooks. I am really looking forward to exploring this new method of cooking and the wide variety of new ingredients and flavors I have in my future.

When historians look back at today's Great Recession, they will find the roots of the crisis in the failure of regulation. Investors who ... put their faith - and their money - in AIG, Bear Stearns and Lehman Brothers lost fortunes because part of Wall Street functioned like a casino while "regulators" looked the other way.
Has Wall Street learned its lesson? Not to judge from current efforts in Washington to ... thwart new efforts at regulation. Apparently not satisfied with the current state of affairs, the same culprits who brought it about are lobbying to stop efforts to strengthen supervision and thus avoid a repetition of this debacle - even as they have accepted bailout funds from the government.
... The issue is the attempt in Washington to rein in all of these fancy and hard-to-fathom financial instruments like ... credit-default swaps. These derivatives played a crucial role in taking the economy to the brink of collapse, but they were bought and traded in largely unsupervised operations that yielded huge profits for Wall Street.
Some lawmakers believe that the way to make sure this doesn't happen again is to trade these instruments on an open exchange, just like company stocks. This increases transparency ... so that customers know what prevailing prices are and also can measure the risk of investment. Banks want to avoid this at all costs, however, because this would cut into their profits.
Their preferred alternative is a "clearinghouse" process ... . This amounts to a gigantic loophole in the larger effort to overhaul the way Wall Street does business and should not be allowed to go forward.
Last November, in the depths of the crisis, the nine biggest participants in the derivatives market created a lobbying organization to fight the transparency effort.
These included JP Morgan Chase, Goldman Sachs, Citigroup and Bank of America. They have every right to lobby, but members of Congress have every reason to reject their arguments, especially in light of the damage done to the economy. ...

The citizens' committee overseeing $378 million in Palo Alto school bond construction will present its annual report to the Board of Education tonight, Sept. 18.
The "Strong Schools" bond was approved in June 2008 by more than 77 percent of district voters. As of June 30, $145 million in bond funds had been issued and $101.5 million had been spent.
According to ballot language, the purpose of the bond was to "provide safe and modern schools, accommodate enrollment growth, upgrade aging classrooms, libraries, computer and science labs, repair or replace roofs, plumbing, heating, ventilation and electrical systems, improve fire alarms and school security, meet current earthquake standards; provide current technology, and replace old portables with permanent classrooms."
The citizens' oversight committee is charged with meeting at least quarterly to review the program and issue an annual report.
The oversight committee for 2011-12 was chaired by Todd Collins and included members Ray Bacchetti, Scott Darling, Catharine Garber, Gary Hornbeek, Mary Marth and Bruce Whitson.
Last month, three new members -- James Cowie, Walt Hays and Helene Leichter -- were appointed to the committee for a two-year term, replacing Bacchetti, Darling and Hornbeek, who had served the maximum of two terms.
In other business tonight, the school board will hear a report from an outside bond auditor, discuss the proposed purchase of four school buses, vote on a contract for window replacement in Palo Alto High School's Tower Building and Haymarket Theater and consider ways to improve the efficiency of board meetings.
Following a 5:30 p.m. closed session to discuss employee, legal and real estate issues, the board will convene in public session at 6:30 p.m. in the board room of school district headquarters, 25 Churchill Ave.

Re: when is it time to come off of Namenda?
Thank you for your information it really helps to hear from someone who is going through course you have both parents so I feel for you big time! one is hard enough with this crazy disease!
Started all this when mom was 62 so it's been going on for a while.
I'm glad I finally logged on to this website after reading messages on it for years! so far 2 people have repsonded very fast and it helps to hear someone else's view point.
I know I will take her off it before the end of the year but it is just doing it since it is all on me. My 3 sisters won't make the decision!
I knew Namenda was not a long term drug and not a cure I just wonder if her body is use to it then you take her off if she will have problems! I think the answer is no but we really don't know.
thank you again for your information and I wish you the best.

ANAHEIM, Calif. - Andre Ethier is starting in his first All-Star game - and he'll be playing out of position.
The Dodgers right fielder and second-leading vote-getter among National League outfielders will start in center field between Milwaukee teammates Corey Hart and Ryan Braun, the first time he's manned the position in his five-year career.
"The last time I played center field would have to have been, I think, college. That was in 2003, when I played the whole year there," Ethier said Monday. "I'd better go get familiar with it. Maybe I'll have to ask Torii Hunter for some pointers about playing center in Anaheim.
"Wow. I get to play center in the All-Star game! It's going to be fun, he added. "But I hope (Dodgers manager Joe Torre) doesn't get any crazy ideas seeing me play center field and think I'm ready to play center now."
Ethier will bat seventh in manager Charlie Manuel's lineup.
All-Stars watching instead of pitching
CC Sabathia and Jered Weaver are All-Stars. They just can't pitch in the game.
Thanks to a new rule that prohibits anyone from pitching in the Midsummer Classic after starting on Sunday, the two American League aces will not find their names in tonight's box score.
"I'm not upset at all, the Yankees' Sabathia said. "I definitely could have pitched, because it's a regular bullpen day. But you don't want to get a guy out there at the end of the game and he has to throw after pitching on Sunday. So I understand the rule. The games in the regular season mean more than these, so I'll be ready to pitch on Friday."
Weaver, a first-time All-Star, wasn't originally selected. He was added to the roster because of an injury.
"It was very important," teammate Hunter said of is selection. "I mean, with the Angels hosting the All-Star game and us having only one guy representing us, it was pretty weird. Jered Weaver was deserving of the All-Star game. I can't remember the last time a pitcher who was leading the league in strikeouts didn't make the team. I know he can't pitch anyway because he pitched on Sunday, but I think he should have been named to the All-Star game earlier."
Weaver said he would enjoy in the experience despite the rule.
"It's going to be weird, this being my first one," Weaver said. "I think it's smart, but at the same time, I think there's something they can do to try to change it up a little bit so that this doesn't happen again. I think this year it kind of caught up to them with all the different people that actually did pitch on Sunday."
Vlad glad to return
The Angels had Vladimir Guerrero in their lineup for six seasons, winning five AL West titles with him before losing him to the division rival Texas Rangers as a free agent and replacing him with former Yankee and 2009 World Series MVP Hideki Matsui.
Guerrero, the 2004 AL MVP, is having a much better season than Matsui with 20 home runs, 75 RBIs and a .319 average. As a result he is in his ninth All-Star game as the AL's starting designated hitter. New teammate Josh Hamilton thinks a change of scenery had something to do with it.
"I think it helps revive you as a player," Hamilton said. "When you've been in a place for a long time, things just start becoming a routine and you might lose a little bit of passion. When you go somewhere else, you want to show these guys what you can do and you get revitalized a little bit.
"Vlad's still a tremendous player and a tremendous talent and he brings smiles to the faces of the guys every day," Hamilton continued. "Batting behind him, he's so much fun to watch because you don't know what he's going to do every day."
Former Halos teammate Torii Hunter missed not having that familiar "Superman" T-shirt around the clubhouse.
"He was a good teammate," Hunter said. "Nothing bothered him. He was always smiling and joking in the clubhouse. The guys could joke with him and he didn't get upset. He was a lot of fun. He worked his butt off in the offseason and lost a lot a lot of weight and got the strength back in his knees and his back, and now you're seeing what he can do. A healthy Vladdy is scary. I've see it. So what he's doing now is nothing new. You're going to see Vladimir on the field every day, whether he's hurt or whether he's healthy."
No matter how many All-Star games Torii Hunter plays in, perhaps nothing could top the four-time All-Star's first one, when he robbed Barry Bonds of a home run at Milwaukee in 2002 after being voted into the game as a starter by the fans.
"Barry Bonds steps to the plate in the first inning, I'm in center field, and I was like: 'Please don't hit it to me. Please don't hit it to me.' And then, Bam," the nine-time Gold Glove winner recalled. "I saw that it was coming down, I thought I had a chance, and I went up and caught it.
"(Right fielder) Ichiro (Suzuki) was pretty excited, too, and he said some words I didn't think he knew," Hunter said with a grin. "I didn't know he spoke that kind of English. It was rated 'R.' Then I ran in and Barry was waiting for me. Before that, we had never spoken or had any kind of encounter. But Barry picked me up and put me on his shoulder like a rag doll - he was strong as hell - and told me, 'Nice catch, kid.'
The Angels' PR staff did some research with Hunter's help a while back and estimated that he has pulled back at least 35 home run bids by opposing players with the Angels and Minnesota Twins.
"I had a couple before that, but that was the one everyone saw on a national and international stage," Hunter said. "And it was Barry Bonds, the home run king, and it was on a higher stage - the All-Star game. So to take a home run away from him was special. It was pretty exciting and something I'll never forget."

Shock and awe it aint.
Though the Maple Leafs have some of the hardest-shooting defencemen in the NHL in Dion Phaneuf, Francois Beauchemin and Luke Schenn, Toronto is getting very few pucks through of late, at least to the right areas. That has contributed to a lack of team scoring the past five games, with just seven goals and one win to show.
So what if you have a bomb from the point? coach Ron Wilson harrumphed on Friday at the MasterCard Centre. It doesnt matter, if the other teams is blocking shots. You have to find ways to get it through. How hard you shoot is absolutely irrelevent. You have to find a way to get it past the first and second wave of shot blockers and we havent done a very good job of that lately.
Whether thats faking a shot and stepping around the covering forward, waiting a little longer to work for a clearer shot, or trying more passes down low or across th box, the Leafs will want to get it right on Saturday. Coming to town are the New York Rangers, who went into Fridays game against Carolina tied with the Hurricanes for the most blocked shots in the NHL at 16.6 a night. In last weeks 2-1 Rangers win here, 30 Toronto shots failed to reach goalie Martin Biron.
Phaneufs velocity is respected, but often the captain has his own teammates ducking when his shot gets up, up and away.
You gotta hit the net, Phaneuf declared, plain and simple. It starts with us (on defence). When the forwards work hard to get the puck out to us, its up to us to get them through.
Teams do a good job blocking shots now. Its no secret the game has changed in that aspect with guys getting in the way more and more. Its not just the guys up top (to beat), you have to get it by their defencemen, too. Whatever way, we have to get it through.
If theyre not on net, you wont generate much. If you dont have a shooting lane, its better to get it down into the corners around the net so somethimg can happen. Our job is to get it past the top guy so the forwards can take it from there.
Scoring directly from the point is easier said than done, but the seven Leafs defencemen whove played to date have two goals, by Beauchemin and Mike Komisarek. Its not just Phaneufs shots that often end up snared in the big white nylon mesh above the glass instead of inside the 4x6 hemp.
Presumably, the game-weary Rangers will give the Leafs a bit more room to operate than the Boston Bruins, who choked the Leafs in a 2-0 win on Thursday and held them to 20 shots. Not even Phil Kessel and Clarke MacArthur, who have accounted for more than half of Torontos total offence with 13 goals, could get much in the way of quality chances in the game.
Goal droughts ... you go a couple of games and dont think you can score (again), MacArthur said. Then you stop shooting and get into trouble. Good scorers shoot every single game. They may go three, four or five games, but then its going to come back.
If the defence does get the puck in the right place, then good hands are needed to put it away. Wilson tried to juggle lines around the loss of Kris Versteeg and Colby Armstrong on Thursday, but early chances were wasted and the Bruins built a wall in front of Tim Thomas afterwards.
You have to get to the front, Wilson said. Its not strategy, its about guys burying pucks.
You cant be stickhandling through the minefield. Were as fast as any team in the league, but if you dont move the puck and chase it down, youre not going to look very fast. When youre not scoring, make sure you are playing good defence. Were not blessed with guys who have ever scored before. To expect your third line to wake up one day and score 20 goals or be productive offensively ... we just want them to work hard and not be scored against, to push the pace and set the table for our first and second lines.
All teams go through periods where the puck doesnt go in. Eventually you always come out of it.
