Reviews by ChanceK:More User Reviews:FLimaBrazil 2.56/5 rDev -7.6% look: 3.25 | smell: 2.5 | taste: 2.5 | feel: 2.75 | overall: 2.5 Bright light golden color with a two finger relatively thick head with medium retention. Light aroma of floral hops and bready malt. A hint of adjunct when it warms up. Refreshing flavor of floral hops balanced with a perfect level of malt sweetness. Hints of non-malted cereals and minerals, not that intense. Finishes smooth with a mildly dry aftertaste. Light body with good carbonation with a mild spicy feeling. A crisp and refreshing Adjunct Lager, above average with less intense off-flavors, especially when drank cold. But far from great. Serving type: bottle 11-20-2013 22:38:35 | More by FLima biboergosumAlberta (Canada) 2.48/5 rDev -10.5% look: 3 | smell: 2.25 | taste: 2.5 | feel: 2.5 | overall: 2.5 12oz bottle from the local supermarket in Glendale, Colorado. Cool evil-looking avian label imagery. This beer pours a crystal clear, pale golden straw colour, with two fingers of puffy, thinly foamy off-white head, which leaves some sparsely strewn specks of sudsy lace around the glass as it quickly drops away. It smells of semi-sweet corn mash and grainy pale malt, a bit of cooked veggies, mild acetone notes, and faint earthy, weedy hops. The taste is gritty pale malt and corn husk graininess, a subtle acrid, strung out orchard fruitiness, nail polish remover, and lightly skunked weedy, musty hops. The bubbles are fairly effervescent and mildly fizzy, the body medium-light in weight, thin, and watery in its generic smoothness. It finishes off-dry, the lingering corn and grain malt maintaining just enough gas to continue fencing with the fading skunky and phenolic essences. More standard mass-produced swill, probably tastes 'better' colder and under a hot sub-tropical sun, yadda, yadda, yadda. Nothing worthy drinking, unless you have no other options, or you have Costa Rica on the mind. Serving type: bottle 10-11-2013 22:32:56 | More by biboergosum BrendenOhio 2.9/5 rDev +4.7% look: 3 | smell: 2.5 | taste: 3 | feel: 3 | overall: 3 Very pale yellow with a fizzy white head that actually manages a finger and leaves spotting on the glass. I might have been expecting less; average overall. It's grassy with some huskiness to it and very much flaunting its adjuncts, and the typical green apple skin, but there may also be a touch of citrus adding a little something to the character. As a bad beer, it could certainly be worse. The taste offers a little more than the smell, as the lightness combined with the sickly sweetness underneath is too much. Obviously light in body, it stays more on the thin side which avoids the nasty slickness that's the other side of the spectrum with these. It's as crisp as it should be. Serving type: bottle 10-02-2013 20:54:49 | More by Brenden PortertimeFlorida 1.58/5 rDev -43% look: 2 | smell: 1.75 | taste: 1.5 | feel: 1.5 | overall: 1.5 Appearance: using my trusty Kirin glass for this one. Wow, this is one of the thinnest beers I have ever poured. It is only a yellow tinged watery color with minimal bubbling action and no head. I bet it has just about the same amount of calories as a light beer but they don't specify it on the label. I actually read that the FDA wants to put nutritional content labels on beer soon. I have witnessed this on a bottle of wine named Quady Electra. Smell: faint, husky, musty hops and cooked vegetables. Taste: very light bodied. Almost no malt sweetness nor hop bitterness. Somehow it is all balanced and very smooth drinking as a consequence. This is fine to sip on a hot day, no need to pair with anything. I'm a little curious what the calorie content is.

And now, with the release of his swan song, 'Michael Jackson's This Is It,' the late singer is poised to have perhaps his biggest cinematic success of all. Ease on down the road with us as we take a look back at some of our favorite movie moments from the life of Michael Jackson. He was known as the King of Pop, but Michael Jackson was no stranger to the movie world -- whether he was in the starring role, playing a bit part for comic relief or being paid glorious tribute. In fact, on his videos he worked with some of the biggest directors in the business, everyone from Martin Scorsese ('Bad') and John Landis ('Thriller') to Spike Lee ('They Don't Care About Us') and David Fincher ('Who Is It?').
And now, with the release of his swan song, 'Michael Jackson's This Is It,' the late singer is poised to have perhaps his biggest cinematic success of all. Ease on down the road with us as we take a look back at some of our favorite movie moments from the life of Michael Jackson.
'The Wiz'
Jackson was 20 when he played the Scarecrow in Sidney Lumet's 1978 African-American version of 'The Wizard of Oz.' (You'll have to watch a 30-second ad before viewing this clip, but trust us ... it's worth it.)
'13 Going on 30'
Jennifer Garner knows: Nothing livens up a party like the 'Thriller' dance. NOTHING.
'Men in Black II'
Most people don't remember that Jackson had a cameo in 'Men in Black II.' In fact, the singer had been offered a role in the first 'Men in Black,' but turned it down because he didn't want to play an alien -- then called director Barry Sonnenfeld after the film's release to tell him that he'd wept at the end. "I had to explain to him that it was a comedy," Sonnenfeld told the BBC.
'Rush Hour 2'
Chris Tucker, who starred in Jackson's 'You Rock My World' video, keeps a room full of gangsters entertained with his karaoke rendition of 'Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough.' Is it just us, or does it sound like he's messing up the lyrics? ("Four-star stop"?)
No, that's not the real Jackson Five performing on stage, but a fairly dead-on imitation (though the kid playing MJ doesn't quite have his moves).
'Dream a Little Dream 2'
Wow. We will admit that some of us ... have never seen this movie. And therefore we were never treated to the sight of Corey Feldman dancing like MJ -- until now. Time to update the Netflix queue ...
'Free Willy'
Michael Jackson's most famous movie soundtrack song was probably 'Ben,' but we've got a soft spot for 'Will You Be There,' from 'Free Willy.'
Other movie moments:
'Zoolander': Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson do a "walk-off" to Jackson's 'Beat It.'
'The Wedding Singer': Adam Sandler's best friend dresses up in MJ's signature red leather jacket
'Captain EO': Francis Ford Coppola directed this Disney theme parks 3-D movie, starring Jackson as the spaceship captain.
'Bruno': For the movie's premiere, Universal Pictures decided to cut a scene in which Bruno queries Jackson's sister LaToya about MJ's trademark white glove and then steals the singer's number off her Blackberry -- but the studio may still restore the scene for the movie's release.

CHICAGO (AP) -- Emergency room visits for teen athletes with concussions have tripled in recent years in a trend that doctors are calling disturbing.
The findings come in a study of 10 years of national data. Experts say increasing awareness of head injuries is one reason ER concussion reports are up. But the increasing intensity of kids' sports probably plays a role, too.
The study was published online Monday in the journal Pediatrics. The authors say kids who suffer a head injury should get medical attention and never return to play until all symptoms, such as headache and trouble concentrating, are gone.

Restaurants in Albuquerque, Santa Fe and Northern New Mexico, searchable by cuisine and location, with ratings and reviews. Get educated before you eat! We love this strange little place with aggressively retro décor, like super '70s wood paneling. Cool. Plus, they serve New York deli stuff like bagels with lox and cream cheese, and a club with dill Havarti on rye bread. Our favorite option is the salad trio—you get to pick from Caesar, Greek, apple Waldorf, pasta, potato, fruit, tuna, chicken or egg salads, and it comes with a roll. Wash it down with a Dr. Brown's soda. (Alibi Staff, August 11, 2010) Community Reviews |

Freedom Graphic Systems Buys an HP T300
The purchase is Freedom's first investment in a four-color, high-speed digital web press.
Freedom Graphic Systems' latest technology investment – an HP T300 Color Inkjet Web Press – will help the Milton, Wis.-based company deliver more affordable, personalized, direct mail to improve its customers' return on investment (ROI).
The purchase is part of the momentum behind a new "Enabling Imaginationsm" marketing initiative from Freedom that provides leading-edge technology and tools that help the company's clients deliver the right message to the right audience at the right time.
"The new press reduces the cost of high-quality, variable-data printing (VDP), transforming marketing communications with its four-color, 100-percent variable, high-resolution, high-speed print-on-demand capabilities," said Marty Liebert, CEO and president, Freedom Graphic Systems. "With its proven thermal inkjet technology, the HP T300 offers direct mail solutions that condense cycle times, increase postal optimization and facilitate relevant one-to-one marketing communications."
When the press is installed and operational in October, Freedom, one of the nation's largest independently owned direct-mail companies, will bring new opportunities to industries that rely heavily on direct marketing activity for customer acquisition, retention and loyalty programs.
Breaking new ground in direct mail
The purchase is Freedom's first investment in a four-color, high-speed digital web press. The company also will be among the first in the nation to use HP Inkjet Web Press technology in high-volume direct mail applications.
"Freedom can bring greater value to its customers using the HP T300 to offer mass personalization in print marketing," said Aurelio Maruggi, vice president and general manager, Inkjet High-speed Production Solutions, HP. "Few other providers have the production power and flexibility to match the range of services Freedom will offer in high-response, personalized, full-color direct mail."
The new technology investment comes as Freedom marks its 25thanniversary. At the Direct Marketing Association's 2011 Conference and Exhibition in Boston, October 1-6, the company will highlight its new HP offerings and celebrate its quarter-century in business as one of the nation's leading sole-source direct mail providers.
"Capture" business development: Consulting and tools for growth
Beyond the hardware investment, Freedom is working closely with HP on market analysis and education services provided through the HP Capture business development program. With Capture, Freedom will be able to take advantage of:
Market-specific, variable-data marketing collateral designs from HP to promote Freedom's new digital capabilities
Consulting to help Freedom customers introduce full-color variable data into existing mail piece designs
Internal consulting to help Freedom management and sales staff target new opportunities.
High quality, reliability and productivity with Scalable Printing Technology
The 30-inch wide HP T300 uses proven HP Scalable Printing Technology, with reliable, 1,200-nozzles-per-inch native resolution thermal inkjet print heads providing full-color variable-data printing at speeds up to 2,600 letter-size pages per minute. The press prints on standard uncoated papers as well as on a growing range of coated inkjet stocks.
"This innovative solution is really about Enabling Imaginationsm for our customers," said Liebert. "It is a game changer in direct marketing – one that strengthens Freedom's status as an industry leader and full-service provider. The HP T300 will help Freedom grow profitably and increase our offerings by taking direct mail marketing to the next level."

Calling All Stretchers !!!!
Please leave comments with tips on how to tame new growth and keep it soft....Thanks in advance!!!!
5 comments:
- Product Junkie Diva said...
I am be no stretch of the imagination a master stretcher, (those who go 20+ weeks), but when I am stretching I have to deep condition at least every 3 days. I also use coconut oil on the new growth to soften it.
I have a great detangler..soft sheen carson detangler for kids.
I hope this helps.
Product Junkie Diva - April 24, 2008 at 9:47 AM
- May said...
I agree with what PJD said. I also find it extremely important to keep my hair from tangling... which it does easily for me after week 9. which means no air drying for me without roller setting. Otherwise the new growth tangles up.
Moisture, Moisture, Moisture! - April 24, 2008 at 10:30 AM
i find that if I just go to the dominicans and have them rollerset my hair and blow out the roots ONLY my hair stays straight for a decent lenght of time.. or u can rollerset it yourself and flat iron the roots
- April 26, 2008 at 6:26 AM
- Songbird B said...
I wash and condition in sections. I make 4 sections in my hair and poo each individually in twists and detangle each individually. Deep conditioning is a must and a good detangling leave in helps to when you are detangling. You can do it girl!
- April 26, 2008 at 10:27 PM
- SOLOMONSYDELLE said...
I think the ladies have said it all - moisture! Deep conditioning and adding glycerin, coconut oil, camellia oil are essential. Also my NG reacts positively to a shikamlarithaneem mix.
Anyway, I'm with you - stretching isn't easy. But you can do it!
Will be back to see what other suggestions your readers have...
Good luck! - April 29, 2008 at 7:32 AM

The Houdini Object Model (HOM) is an application programming interface (API) that lets you get information from and control Houdini using the Python scripting language. HOM replaces the functionality of Houdini's previous scripting solutions, the expression language and HScript.
In Python, the hou package is the top of a hierarchy of modules, functions,
and classes that define the HOM. The hou
module is automatically imported
when you are writing expressions in the parameter editor
and in the hython
command-line shell.
On Mac OS X and Linux, Houdini uses the system's Python. On Windows, it uses the version of Python installed with Houdini.
On Linux, Houdini does not look at $PATH
when trying to search and load
the Python library. Instead it searches all the paths in
, then /lib
and then /usr/lib
. If it can't find a
suitable Python library in the system, then it defaults to the one in
. If your Python library is not in a standard location, you should
add its directory path to $LD_LIBRARY_PATH

Tag Archives: Tahlequah Oklahoma
Jodi Rock is a 19-year-old mother who severely abused her 13-month-old son the other day, by burning his genitals with a flat-iron and being the cause of broken bones.
On April 26, police arrived at the Tahlequah City Hospital in Oklahoma, where a baby boy was being treated for several broken bones and severe burns to his genital area. Police say that when they arrived at the hospital, the baby appeared to be "glassy eyed" and "withdrawn."
Initially, Rock had fabricated many stories to explain the abuse and even explained that her aunt, uncle and boyfriend were to blame. Shortly after, the mother then confessed to "burning [the baby] with a flat-iron hair straighter… she then said she took and closed the iron [on the baby's] private parts", as stated in the arrest affidavit. She then continued and explained that where his genitals were burnt "raised in a white blister which fell off."
As far as how the child's arms had broken, Rock said that she or her boyfriend could be responsible because "both play rough with him…pulling him up by the arms and throwing him up in the air and on the bed."
The baby has been taken out of his mother's custody and was immediately placed with DHS, while in the hospital being treated for the injuries his mother inflicted.

He was born Raul Rafael Julia y Arcelay in the Floral Park section of San Juan, Puerto Rico on March 9, 1940. The eldest of four children by Raul Julia, an electrical engineer and restaurant owner, and his wife, Olga Arcelay, a mezzo-soprano from a long line of musicians whom Julia credited as the inspiration behind his career in the arts. He fell in love with performing after portraying the devil in a first grade play, and committed himself to becoming an actor after seeing Errol Flynn in "The Adventures of Robin Hood" (1938). Bilingual from an early age, Julia studied the works of Shakespeare while still in grade school and organized productions of his plays while in secondary school. To please his parents, he studied law at Fordham University and the University of Puerto Rico, but soon abandoned that plan to focus his full attention on acting.
Julia began performing Shakespeare in San Juan, where he met actor Orson Bean while the latter was on vacation. Bean convinced him to relocate to New York to gain experience in the city's vast theater scene, and after his arrival in 1964, Julia began landing roles in Spanish-language plays, including translations of Shakespeare. In 1967, producer Joseph Papp saw him read Puerto Rican poetry at the Delacorte Theater, and offered him a role in a production of "Titus Andronicus" for his New York Shakespeare Festival. Julia soon became a staple of the Festival's production, and soon moved to Broadway in 1968 with "The Cuban Thing" and Arthur Kopit's "Indians." He gained notoriety for his intense, passionate performances, and earned his first Tony nomination in 1972 as Proteus in a modernized version of "Two Gentlemen of Verona" at the Delacorte So great was Julia's energy that he was able to double as Osric in the Delacorte's production of "Hamlet" while starring in "Verona" and filming appearances as Rafael the Fixit Man on "Sesame Street" (PBS, 1969- ).
While maintaining his grueling schedule on the New York stage, Julia was also making appearances in feature films and television. He earned his movie debut opposite Al Pacino in Jerry Schatzberg's harrowing addiction drama "The Panic in Needle Park" (1971), and soon landed minor roles, defined largely by his ethnicity, in "The Organization" (1971) with Sidney Poitier, and a film version of Richard Farina's cult novel "Been Down So Long It Looks Like Up to Me" (1971). Television would provide more substantive roles for him, including a turn as Edmund opposite James Earl Jones as "King Lear" on PBS in 1972, and his first starring role in "Death Scream" (CBS, 1975) as the lead detective investigating a murder based on the real-life case of Kitty Genovese.
Julia's prominence in the theater world continued to rise throughout the mid-1970s with Tony-nominated turns in the musical "Where's Charley?" (1974) and "The Threepenny Opera" (1976), with Julia as an elegantly menacing, erotically charged Macheath in the latter. His soulful features and heartfelt performances soon minted him as something of a theatrical idol, and to the audiences' delight, he soon essayed more romantic roles including in the Shakespeare Festival's 1978 production of "The Taming of the Shrew" opposite Meryl Streep, as well as "Dracula" and the lead in "Nine" (1982), which earned him his fouth and final Tony nomination. These star-making roles soon gave a boost to his film and television career, and Julia graduated from supporting roles in films like "The Eyes of Laura Mars" (1978) as Faye Dunaway's ex-husband to more substantive parts in Paul Mazursky's "Tempest" (1982) and Francis Ford Coppola's "One from the Heart" (1982). In the former, a modernized version of Shakespeare's "The Tempest," he played Kalibanos, a randy Greek goatherd with lustful designs on exiled architect John Cassavetes' daughter (Molly Ringwald) and companion (Susan Sarandon). In the latter, he was a dark and handsome musician who became the ideal lover for a lonely Teri Garr. Julia received his first major film award nomination - a Golden Globe - for his work in "Tempest."
The mid-1980s saw Julia divide his attention evenly between television and film and the stage. His screen efforts were largely successful, with "Kiss of the Spider Woman" (1985), a surreal adaptation of Manuel Puig's novel about a political prisoner (Julia) who finds escape and love with his homosexual cell partner (William Hurt), bringing him universal acclaim. Julia received a Golden Globe nomination and the National Board of Review's award for Best Actor, which in turn led to more prominent roles in the comedy-mystery "Compromising Positions" (1985), as a detective who aided Susan Sarandon's journalist-turned-housewife in a murder investigation, and Paul Mazursky's "Moon Over Parador" (1988), with Julia earned his third Golden Globe nod as a savvy politico who enlisted an actor (Richard Dreyfuss) to impersonate the recently deceased president of a small Central American country. These turns, as well as appearances as Aristotle Onassis in "The Richest Man in the World" (ABC, 1988) and murdered Salvadoran Archbishop Oscar Romero in 1989's "Romero," earned Julia a spot on Variety's list of the busiest actors in Hollywood between 1987 and 1989.
Julia's career continued at a steady clip in the 1990s with projects as varied as "Presumed Innocent" (1990), in which he starred as Harrison Ford's legal opponent-turned-defense attorney, and Victor Frankenstein in Roger Corman's imaginative "Frankenstein Unbound" (1990). The decade also provided him with his greatest screen exposure and success as the macabre, manically cheerful Gomez Addams in Barry Sonnenfeld's film version of "The Addams Family" (1991). Julia was note perfect as the dashing yet deranged Gomez, a man-child with operatic shifts in emotion and sanity, yet possessed by great devotion for his seemingly monstrous brood. Julia would reprise the role in the equally offbeat sequel, "Addams Family Values" (1993), which saw the addition of an infant Addams to the family, complete with his father's signature mustache.
The following year, while playing Brazilian environmental activist Chico Mendes in HBO's "The Burning Season," Julia contracted food poisoning while on location in Mexico. Having undergone stomach surgery the year before, the situation soon became critical, and Julia was airlifted to the United States to receive treatment. He soon recovered and returned to Mexico to complete the shoot, but had lost a dramatic amount of weight and strength. Despite these issues, he immediately began work on "Street Fighter" (1994), a feature adaptation of the popular video game, with Julia playing the chief antagonist, General M. Bison, opposite martial arts star Jean-Claude Van Damme. Though appearing quite sickly, Julia was pleased to take on the project, as it would allow him to spend more time with his children on set. In October of that year, he filmed the Showtime drama "Down Came a Blackbird" (1994), about a war criminal (Julia) that posed as the director of a clinic that treated torture victims and Holocaust survivors.
Shortly after completing the project, Julia was hospitalized for stomach pains. He initially disregarded the situation, and made plans to prepare for work on Robert Rodriguez's "Desperado" (1995). However, he experienced a sudden and devastating stroke that sent him into a coma. On Oct. 24, 1994, Julia died as a result of complications from a brain hemorrhage. Three days later, his body was flown to Puerto Rico, where thousands attended his funeral at the Institute of Puerto Rican Culture. Memorials were held at the Joseph Papp Public Theater in New York and in Los Angeles, where prominent Latino and Hispanic performers like Ruben Blades and Edward James Olmos feted him. Julia later earned a posthumous Emmy, Golden Globe, Screen Actors Guild Award and Cable Ace Award for "Blackbird," which would be his final film project. New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani subsequently declared Nov. 21, 1994 "Raul Julia Day" in the actor's adopted hometown.
In the years following his death, Julia became a symbol of achievement for Hispanic actors and students alike. A lifelong supporter of social and educational causes, he was an active member of the New York Council of the Humanities, as well as the Hispanic Organization of Latin Actors, Racial Harmony, and The Hunger Project. Julia also co-founded Visiones Luminosas, an initiative to promote Hispanic screenwriters. For these and other efforts, Julia received numerous honors, including the Courage of Conscience Award from The Peace Abbey, the Global Citizen Award from The Hunger Project, and the title of overseer of general elections from the government of El Salvador. After his death, Julia was the focus of a scholarship fund from the Puerto Rico Chamber of Commerce, which provided college education for teenagers, and an annual Award for Excellence from the National Endowment for the Hispanic Arts, which honored entertainment personalities for contributing to the growth of Latinos in the arts. Among its recipients was Sandra Bullock for producing "The George Lopez Show" (ABC, 2002-07).

Istanbul Revealed at Daybreak in Assouline Title
NEW YORK, NY - Photographer Jean-Michel Berts focuses his camera to the mysterious and ancient city of Istanbul in the latest edition of Assouline's "Light of" Series. "The Light of Istanbul" is a magnificent homage to the city that captures its aura of enchantment through atmospheric black and white photographs taken at daybreak.
Through Berts' lens, Istanbul is revealed in moments of dreamlike serenity-when deserted streets and waterways are wrapped in a mystery all their own. "Istanbul, a universal beauty where poet and archeologist, diplomat and merchant, princess and sailor, northerner and westerner screams with same admiration," says Edmondo de Amicis. "The whole world thinks that this city is the most beautiful place on earth."
Following the success of "The Light of Paris," "The Light of New York," and "The Light of Tokyo," lensman Jean-Michel Berts turns his masterful eye to the ancient city of Istanbul. This exotic destination is revealed in Berts' otherworldly black and white photographs, taken at dawn. The city's renowned landmarks and hidden corners are captured as never before, framed by Berts' camera obscura. With an evocative text by Alessandra Ricci, "The Light of Istanbul" is a spectacular volume on this enchanting city.
Jean-Michel Berts has been a photographer since the age of 16. With his first Rolleiflex camera he became sensitive to the effects of light. Using methods created by Ansel Adams, Berts makes photographs with 10-minute exposures, a technique combining overexposure of the film and underdeveloping of the negative, creating very rich textures. "I always try to give my photographs a feeling of timelessness," says Jean-Michel Berts, "I never know the photograph I'm going to make, the photograph comes to me, it finds me."
Today Berts enjoys an international reputation and exhibits his work at numerous art fairs around Europe. He has also worked on advertising campaigns for luxury brands such as Lancôme, Dior, Hermès, and Yves Saint Laurent.
Author Alessandra Ricci is Assistant Professor of Archaeology and History of Art at Koç University in Istanbul, with a Ph.D. from Princeton University; she has lived and worked in Turkey for the last 10 years. She has appeared in several television documentaries, including programs for CNN and the History Channel, and has written articles for newspapers including the Turkish Daily News and Corriere della Sera. Ricci is currently working on a book about life, architecture, and the archaeology of the Byzantine suburbs of Constantinople.
The Light of Istanbul is available for pre-order at ASSOULINE Boutiques worldwide and through www.assouline.com

Ducks react to report of marijuana usage
Post practice interviews with the Ducks one day after ESPN published an article online Wednesday about the marijuana usage in college football while focusing on Oregon.
The Ducks did not practice on Wednesday, but returned to the Moshofsky Center for drills on Thursday. Head coach Chip Kelly spoke with the media following practice, addressing the ESPN The Magazine's article on marijuana use within the University of Oregon football program.
Coach Kelly said that he didn't think his team would be as successful as it has been if so many of his players were smoking pot, citing his 34-6 record. Kelly emphaized that he and his staff focus on educating his players about the effects of marijuana use.
"Our medical staff and doctor (Greg) Skaggs talk about it all the time," said Kelly. "We've brought in people from the outside to talk about the effects of drug and alcohol abuse on your body and that's really the biggest thing for us, the education part of it."
Some players were reluctant to talk about the ESPN The Magazine article. Yet others were quick to say that it would not become a distraction to the team.
"I just want to come out here everyday and listen to the coaches because they do a great job of teaching us and coaching us on the field and off the field," said senior safety John Boyett. "I just want to try to get better every day as a team and try to focus on the good things and become better as a team so we can win games when the season comes."
"(We'll) continue to work hard in practice, worry about football and let our coaching staff and administration worry about everything else," said senior tailback Kenjon Barner.
Concerning the statistic that possibly 40 to 60 percent of current Oregon football players are participating in the use of marijuana. Players said they couldn't believe that.

Croquet became wildly popular amongst middle class women during the 1860s, partly because it was a relatively unstrenuous sport, and partly because it could be played with mixed partners. However the sport was hampered by the heavy, full skirts and the crinolines worn underneath, so many women took to looping up their skirts to prevent soiling them or brushing against the balls. The exposed petticoats developed tabs to button up the skirts and increasingly bold and decorative hems. In 1864, one player advised, "the dress should be looped up, or not only will it spoil many a good stroke, but with its sweeping train will probably disturb the position of some of the balls". Similar tabs and contrasting bold decoration was popular for walking dresses in the 1860s and 70s as seen in the outfit shown below.
This lively croquet outfit includes a wide striped full woollen skirt with bold black and red trim and black trefoil tabs which feature integral buttonholes that could be used to button to a contrasting overskirt. The skirt is worn with a scarlet Garibaldi jacket, loose enough to allow the croquet player to swing with confidence, and very similar to a World of Fashion plate of August 1866 (see below) . These jackets or blouses were named after the hero of the Italian independence movement in 1860, whose adherents wore shirts in a similar bright scarlet.

Organizational rankings and top 10 prospects per team
September 19, 2011 Summer Skate Pacific Division
by Robert Vollman
Summer Skate San Jose Sharks
The San Jose Sharks enjoyed their fifth straight 100-point season, their fourth straight season atop the Pacific Division and their second straight season in the Western Conference finals. But again they came up short of their ultimate goal -- the Stanley Cup. So, they made a big impact this offseason in two separate deals with the Minnesota Wild, giving up Devin Setoguchi and Dany Heatley but adding Brent Burns and Martin Havlat to their already elite collection of talent, including Joe Thornton, Patrick Marleau and Dan Boyle.
LW Jamie McGinn
Last season: Minus -1.4 GVT | VUKOTA projection: 0.2 GVT
While the top spots in San Jose are taken, there's a real opportunity for a young talent such as 23-year-old McGinn to make an impact in a supporting role. Known for his controversial hit on Aaron Rome in last year's Western Conference finals, McGinn is a true competitor with a world of two-way talent. Ignore last year's sub-replacement level season and give only a little more consideration to his conservative VUKOTA projection. McGinn is ready to bust out, claim a spot on the third line and potentially become this year's Torrey Mitchell.
Trending Down: RW Ryane Clowe
Last season: 15.6 GVT | VUKOTA projection: 10.4 GVT
Last year Clowe hit career highs in almost every category with 24 goals, 38 assists, 62 points and plus-13 along with a gutsy 15-point effort in the postseason. Unfortunately our calculations suggest he has peaked, and the 29-year-old alternate captain will take a step back this season. His ongoing lack of discipline could force coach Todd McLellan to use him more sparingly, especially if he doesn't find the same chemistry with Havlat that he enjoyed with Heatley.
Name to know: D Nick Petrecki
The Sharks' 2007 first-round pick has had a slow and steady development curve during the last four seasons, two of which were spent at Boston College and the other two with Worcester in the American Hockey League.
Despite the fact his three goals and 14 points in 67 AHL games this past season are similar to the two goals and 14 points in 65 games in 2009-10, Petrecki certainly appeared to be on another level in 2010-11. He is not an offensive player. I don't think anyone within the industry would ever try to sell him as one, but his primary attributes -- a top-tier physical game and a solid defensive game -- are what will carry him into the NHL.
Petrecki struggled two years ago in his end when making the transition to the AHL , but he started to show better decision-making this year, although that area still needs some fine-tuning. His frame has come along nicely, as he weighs in at around 220 pounds and stands at 6-foot-4, and his mobility is decent considering his size. Petrecki can also be a moderate puck handler and make a good outlet pass. Expect him to push for NHL ice time this season, even if a job out of camp seems unlikely.
Summer Skate Anaheim Ducks
A fantastic record in one-goal games helped Anaheim secure its fifth postseason appearance since the lockout despite being absolutely dominated at even strength all year. Excellent performances by Ryan Getzlaf, Lubomir Visnovsky, Bobby Ryan, Jonas Hiller, the ageless Teemu Selanne and Hart Trophy winner Corey Perry covered up Anaheim's troubling lack of secondary talent. Still, there's at least one blueliner in line for a huge season, per VUKOTA's projections. And it's probably not the one you'd guess.
Trending Up: D Kurtis Foster
Last season: 1.5 GVT | VUKOTA projection: 6.1 GVT
The 6-foot-5 Foster toiled for years on Minnesota's third blue-line unit before finally breaking loose in Tampa Bay with a 42-point season in 2009-10. Unfortunately Foster couldn't find the same success in Edmonton last year and was traded to Anaheim for fellow giant Andy Sutton this offseason. Foster will turn 30 in the last year of his contract and has both the incentive and opportunity to play far more than his usual 17 minutes and put up another career season.
Trending Down: D Lubomir Visnovsky
Last Season: 19.2 GVT | VUKOTA projection: 11.5 GVT
At age 34, Visnovsky improved his scoring from 45 points to a career-high 68 while also improving his plus/minus by 28 goals and earning a spot on his second All-Star team. Being pressed for ice time by sophomore Cam Fowler and reliable veterans Toni Lydman, Francois Beauchemin and Foster, the 35-year-old Slovakian is unlikely to finish in the top 10 in assists again this season.
Name to know: RW Kyle Palmieri
At the beginning of the 2009 draft season, you would have been hard-pressed to find many scouts who thought Palmieri was going to be a first-round pick. It also would have been hard to find anyone who thought Palmieri -- in his age-19 season -- could play a few games in the NHL while leading his AHL team in scoring and obtaining AHL All-Star honors. Not to mention being on the fast track to becoming a top-six player in the best league in the world.
But Palmieri is a skilled winger with above-average puck skills, good offensive awareness, a great shot and a simply tremendous two-way work ethic that helps him overcome the fact he doesn't have a blazing top gear for a player shorter than 6-foot. He's a good defensive forward who can be an asset on the penalty kill. Palmieri still needs to bulk up a little bit from where he was last year to really be effective at the top level, but expect him to be on the opening day roster.
Summer Skate Los Angeles Kings
The Los Angeles Kings, who are tied with the Toronto Maple Leafs and St. Louis Blues for the NHL's longest Stanley Cup drought, finally shook off their historical tendency to collapse after 100-point seasons with their great 98-point effort last year. Some believe this season could be even better. Adding Mike Richards and Simon Gagne to their offensive mix could help Anze Kopitar finally play at a Hart level that is necessary for the Kings to get to the next level.
Trending Up: D Jack Johnson
Last season: 4.1 GVT | VUKOTA projection: 7.6 GVT
Kopitar isn't the only Kings star with the potential to bust loose. How about U.S. Olympic silver medalist Jack Johnson? In January, the Kings gave the 24-year-old a seven-year deal worth $30.5 million. With Drew Doughty's uncertain future, Johnson could be the blueliner who benefits most from Los Angeles' newfound firepower.
Trending Down: G Jonathan Quick
Last season: 20.1 GVT | VUKOTA projection: 8.3 GVT
For a cap hit of just $1.8 million, the Kings have one of the most productive goalies in the league in Quick. He finished sixth in shutouts and fifth in both goals-against average and quality start percentage last year. Unfortunately, the VUKOTA system doesn't project this to continue, and Quick will slide back closer to his 2009-10 levels.
Name to know: C Andrei Loktionov
Picked in the fifth round of the 2008 draft, Loktionov has established himself as one of the top forward prospects in the league after two tremendous seasons in the AHL. He's exceptionally skilled with top-end puck skills, vision and overall hockey sense. Loktionov is also an above-average skater and has a great two-way work ethic, but his 5-foot-10 frame will always raise questions regarding his physicality and durability.
If he was on an average team, Loktionov could fit among the top six forwards this season, but the depth of the Kings may keep him out of that role, if not back in the minors waiting as the first injury call-up.
Summer Skate Dallas Stars
Despite a red-hot start, the Dallas Stars faded away and finished last in their division (but just four points out of second). How Dallas fares in the post-Brad Richards era will be determined by how well its key players perform in his absence, and how quickly the remaining players on the roster respond to new coach Glen Gulutzan.
Trending Up: D Mark Fistric
Last season: 0.1 GVT | VUKOTA projection: 1.9 GVT
The physically aggressive and defensively tough Fistric is a perfect fit for the Dallas blue line. Given the right opportunity, the 25-year-old is poised to bounce back from last season's disappointments and perform closer to his levels from 2009-10, when he led the team with a plus-27, miles ahead of everyone else.
Trending Down: LW Loui Eriksson
Last season: 16.4 GVT | VUKOTA projection: 13.4 GVT
Of everyone that will be affected by the departure of Richards, no player stands to lose more than his favorite target, Loui Eriksson, who set a career high of 73 points and led the team with a plus-10 last season. The talented Swede scored 36 goals in 2008-09, but his production has declined for two consecutive seasons. Eriksson scored 29 and 27 goals in the following two seasons, respectively, and that's a trend that may continue as more opportunity is given to the up-and-coming sniper Jamie Benn.
Name to know: D Philip Larsen
Philip Larsen isn't the flashiest name in the prospect world, as a fifth-round pick in 2008 who has never really had a huge statistical season. However, the blueliner is a skilled prospect and a smart two-way player. His lack of strength and injuries in recent seasons have contributed to keeping him out of the NHL, but Larsen can handle the puck well and is a solid skater with a good first step and overall mobility.
He likely isn't going to be the kind of name that stands out on a roster, but he can be a fine No. 4 or No. 5 defender for many seasons and could possibly be an NHL regular in 2011-12.
Summer Skate Phoenix Coyotes
Despite lacking big-name talent and having only one 20-goal scorer (Shane Doan), the Coyotes quietly snuck into the postseason for the second consecutive season. Without star goalie Ilya Bryzgalov this year, Phoenix is in danger of sliding back into obscurity if it doesn't get strong performances from many elder stars, such as Doan, Ray Whitney and Daymond Langkow. Phoenix also needs continued improvement from its younger talent, such as Keith Yandle, Martin Hanzal and Mikkel Boedker.
Trending Up: G Jason LaBarbera
Last season: minus-0.9 GVT | VUKOTA projection: 3.2 GVT
After three truly dominant AHL seasons, LaBarbera finally got his NHL opportunity at age 28 with the Los Angeles Kings in 2007-08. Unfortunately, he has bounced around in various backup roles since then, including his great .928 season in Phoenix two years ago. With Bryzgalov now a member of the Philadelphia Flyers, LaBarbera must compete with only Mike Smith and Curtis McElhinney and should finally get another shot at the top spot. If he beats out Smith and McElhinney, he could have a monster season.
Trending Down: C Lauri Korpikoski
Last season: 8.4 GVT | VUKOTA projection: 4.7 GVT
At 24 years old, Korpiski, a 2004 first-round pick by the New York Rangers, improved from 11 points and minus-10 to 40 points and plus-17. But a closer look at the Finn's numbers shows how large a role luck played in his tremendous performance. Korpikoski's shooting percentage vaulted from 7.4 percent to 18.4 percent, and he enjoyed the second-highest PDO (on-ice team shooting percentage plus save percentage) in the league, both of which have a strong tendency to regress to the mean. You should expect him to slip back in the coming season.
Name to know: LW Mikkel Boedker
Boedker has been a highly touted prospect in the Phoenix organization for a few years after being selected eighth overall in 2008. He has bounced up and down between the NHL and AHL the past two seasons, as the Coyotes waited for Boedker to take that next step. He took that step this past season and should be ready for a full-time NHL job in 2011-12. NHL sources who saw Boedker play for San Antonio described his performance as nothing short of dominant, as he scored 12 goals and 34 points in 36 games.
Boedker is a top-tier skater with a fluid stride, a good first step and a brilliant top gear. He can handle the puck and excels as a distributor, although NHL sources believe he should use his shot more, as it is truly a plus weapon. His main knocks have always been his physical and defensive games, but he improved both of those this past season.
He's on the smaller side at 5-foot-11, but his strength progression has been noteworthy. On a team that certainly needs forwards with scoring punch, Boedker should get the opportunity to succeed this season in an offensive role.

Had I wrote this part for Dallas this week, I may have subbed in Brenden Dillon's name. After how I heard he looked in Traverse City, he may be pushing for an NHL job pretty darn soon.
