The NHL Lockout and Hockey Equipment
For a while this summer, there remained a shred of hope that a new NHL labor agreement would be signed and big league hockey would continue on-schedule. Preliminary scheduling of travel plans and booking of hotels was made. And in preparation for the opening of training camps, vast quantities of sticks, skates and other hockey gear was ordered from the many licensed NHL equipment manufacturers. This gear currently sits idle in the equipment storage rooms at teams' training facilities, quietly hoping beyond hope that this 2012-13 NHL season is salvaged. Because if it isn't, the vast majority of it will never be used.
It seems illogical to order hundreds of $200 sticks, $600 skates and $1200+ goalie pads and not use them. But much of this gear is year-specific. Equipment manufacturers are always making improvements to their gear in hopes of one-upping the competition. While traditional advertising accounts for a certain share of equipment sales, the mere use by an NHLer (especially a popular one) is the best advertising of all. If a player chooses to roll with a previous model of stick or skate, many manufacturers will re-label that gear to LOOK like the current model. Why let an NHL player showcase last year's outdated technology when newer, better stuff is available?
Hockey gear has one true sales demographic: the amateur player. Whether it's a youth player playing their way through their adolescence or the beer-league adult, the major hockey equipment manufacturers are trying to win over the commoner by convincing them that advances in equipment technology will translate to improvements in their game. What better way than showing Alex Ovechkin or Steven Stamkos or Jonathan Quick excelling while using your gear?
Sure, NHLers playing overseas will still receive their sponsors' gear to use in their European leagues. But the vast majority of NHL players will buy their own gear this winter. Their team-provided equipment will acquire dust and be outdated by the time next season arrives. New, state of the art sticks, skates and helmets will be released by Bauer, Warrior, Reebok, CCM and other equipment manufacturers. They can't afford to let the lack of NHL games affect their bottom lines.
We, the commoner could benefit from this stockpile of stuff, as most of it will show up at a team's public equipment sale like the one the Capitals hold every summer during Development Camp (there were fist-fulls of Alexander Semin sticks available after the last lockout, as it was ordered assuming he would report to Portland). The recently-expired CBA has a stipulation that the NHLPA receives a percentage of all equipment sold in such a way. In the event of a prolonged lockout, any such sales would likely go into the coffers of the owners.
So I say a donation is in order. Either sell off this season's gear and give the proceeds to local youth hockey or other grassroots hockey organizations or donate the gear its self to those who will use it, like Defending the Blueline or other worthy groups.
Sticks and skates need ice to be of use. Helmets need heads and gloves need hands. Let the tools of the trade do their job, even if their users aren't NHLers.
Rock the Brock: Inaugural Edition
[Ed. Note: Rock the Brock will be a reoccuring post from Brock Kerchner, co-host of the Old Barn Hockey Show on 1460 The Ticket in Harrisburg, featuring a weekly chat on all things Hershey Bears]
My Repentance- Let it be publicly known that I have black and orange in my blood. Let it be known that I own one red jersey and 14 orange. Let it be known that I have led cheers for the orange and black at the Verizon Center and cheered at the puck hitting the twine of the home goal. It has been instilled in me since childhood. I will continue to cheer first for the orange and black but the team affiliated with my beloved Bears will be my number 2. I apologize. Please forgive me. However, I am passionate to who I support! Case in point: Me, in my autographed red sweater, with former Capitals Head Coach Bruce Boudreau. I am introducing my daughter, Gabby, to her namesake.
StrawBERRYs and CHAMPAGNE- The next course for the Hershey Bears will easily be this dessert. RW Alex Berry in 3 Hershey preseason games put up 2 goals and an assist leading the team. Berry did not play last season at all due to a serious arm injury. It won't be long before he joins the Chocolate I am sure. His time with the Royals will really be getting him back up to game speed. C Joel Champagne doesn't fit the bottle mold standing in at 6'4" and 217. He has the size and can move that size on the ice very well. He is young but some time in Reading will be good for his experience. I expect to see him in Hershey later in the season as injuries start to stack up.
A new Holtby- Rico Suave is in the crease. A different Rico this year so far though. Last year it would have been a cocky Rico. Hershey knows Holtby as an image of former Bears goaltender Ron Hextall. It appears Olaf Kolzig has sculpted Holtby into a mold more true to his image since we last crossed paths. Cool, calm, and collected is what we saw in preseason. Precise and clean work moving the puck as opposed to the more quick and sometimes dangerous maneuvers of old. Holtby is a great goaltender. No doubt about it but you used to be able to get him off his game easily by some bumps or interrupting his rituals. Sunday, I specifically noticed a linesman in the crease in the way of his "Beginning the Period" ritual. He just paused and waited for the linesman to finish checking the net. He then finished the ritual and settled in for the faceoff. The old Holtby would have tried to finish while making it known the linesman was not welcome and then storm around unhappy which could lead to a costly penalty or mistake. Seems like Hotlby is a changed player after reaching the big dance.
The Return of Sjogren- We woke up and there wasn't even a note on the pillow. He didn't even say goodbye. Needless to say Mattias Sjogren's departure last year from the Bears to head back to Sweden was sudden. Bears Fan wasn't impressed. His best game was the season opener last year in Binghamton. He looked great… finesse, hands, great awareness… but it disappeared quickly and so did he. He popped up back in DC in mid April and practiced with the Capitals until their playoff run was over. Well Sjogren is back. He looked great in preseason. I saw more hustle and a little down in the corners from him that I hadn't seen before. It looks like he has matured in the past year on and off the ice. I truly feel he got some bad advice from his agent who was having a disagreement with GM GM. Forgive and Forget. Wear the Chocolate proudly Mattias.
DC Hockey Hiatus- This is gonna be brutal. Let's not shy away from the truth. Let's get it out in the open. Don't hold it in, Let it out, Scream, Weep, etc. It could be a while until hockey returns to DC, so let's talk about a trip to your roots. Make a visit down to the farm. You can easily hit a Reading Royals and Hershey Bears game in a weekend. 3 hours to Reading and less to Hershey. Make it happen. You won't find more of an NHL atmosphere anywhere else in the world then at Giant Center. Who says time travel is a joke? Come see the future now in Hershey and Reading.
If you want to learn more about me and my story, visit a previous story published here. I dedicate this weekly culmination of thoughts to my grandparents who loved working down on their farms. They taught me to do my best and take pride in everything I do. And a Happy Birthday to my sister who Rocks the Red hair. Go Bears.
Introducing '50 Shades of Red', a Washington Capitals Comic Strip
In what I hope will become a weekly event, we here at Rock the Red present a new Washington Capitals comic strip, 50 Shades of Red. This isn't going to be a philosophical humor strip like Calvin and Hobbes, or Doonesbury-type political satire, or even Tank McNamara sports humor. We're poking fun at our beloved Caps and all their quirkiness.
Afterall, you just can't take yourself too seriously.
A Lesson in History
One of the most recurring statements about history is "history repeats itself". While doing some research for my Ethics class presentation on a labor dispute of my choice (guess which one I picked?) I realized that the statement could be applied to the NHL's ongoing labor issues. History, indeed, repeats itself, with the same issues being argued over again and again every few years.
Since it was founded in 1917, the NHL has had three work stoppages, since 1992. All of the stoppages are the result of disagreement between the NHL team owners and the NHL Players Association negotiating a Collective Bargaining Agreement. By doing a little research, we can examine the issues that have presented a problem throughout the years and have now caused a fourth labor lockout six years after the last one.

Support Stick for Troops With T-Shirts!
Rock the Red is now selling T-shirts for Sticks for Troops (light color, dark color). Sticks For Troops provides hockey sticks and gear to American and Allied troops stationed at Kandahar, Afghanistan, to enjoy the coolest games in one of the hottest places on earth. All proceeds from the sale of these T-shirts goes directly to Sticks for Troops.
As someone whose wife is deployed to Afghanistan now, I can tell you she has seen the troops playing some seriously intense hockey games. It brings a little taste of home and a big morale boost to be able to play hockey so far from home. I know they will appreciate your support.

Caps Announce Return of Brett Leonhardt
Caps fans can expect to see another familiar face back this season, as the team has decided to bring back Brett Leonhardt as a video coach. Formerly a web producer for the Caps, Leonhart left his position last February to work as a video editor for the NHL.
Photo Credit: ESPN
Leonhardt, known to fans as 'Stretch', was more than just a web producer for the team. During warm-ups at home games in Verizon Center, he would play the role of DJ to get the guys pumped and excited to play, as well as entertain the fans who arrived early. He also hosted a podcast for the team, Capitals Report, with Mike Vogel up until his departure. More than likely, though, fans will remember Leonhardt most for being the back-up goalie when Jose Theodore was hurt and Semyon Varlamov was on his way to Washington from Houston after a last second call-up. Leonhardt took part in warm-ups and backed up Brent Johnson until Varlamov arrived.
Leonhardt will be working with Caps assistant coach Blaine Forsythe who manages the video coaching responsibilities. Best of luck, Stretch! (Maybe you can throw a beat or two around, too, for old time's sake?)

Mike Ribeiro and Alex Ovechkin: A Match Made in Hockey Heaven
Photo by Getty Images North America
With the acquisition of Mike Ribeiro in mid June, the Washington Capitals finally plugged a hole in their lineup that they have had since the summer of 2009 – a second prime center.
Ribeiro, 32, is a playmaking pivot who has spent the last six seasons of his career with the Dallas Stars – recording 50 or more points in each and every one of those seasons. He is, without question, the type of player that Washington has lacked for the last three seasons, and he adds a new depth of scoring to a lineup that badly needed some skill following the presumed (at the time of his acquisition) and now actual departure of Alexander Semin via unrestricted free agency.
As always, the dog days of summer have left most with nothing left to ponder, as almost all free agents have been signed and almost all trades have been made. And so, fans and media alike have begun to prognosticate – and many believe that Ribeiro belongs on the second line, and that Nicklas Backstrom should return to his post on the top line alongside Alex Ovechkin.
I don't believe that to be the case, and the reason is simple: Ribeiro playing with Alex Ovechkin could, should, and likely will be better for both players and the entire team.
While in Dallas, Ribiero was a positive puck possession player in all but one year that such statistics have been recorded; that was this past season in which his corsi relative to his teammates was a disconcerting -4.4. Every other year, however, Ribiero had a positive relative corsi (corsi rel), and those four years averaged to 6.73, an admirable number. Of course, we all hope that last season was simply an anomaly - but I digress.
Two years in particular stand out when analyzing Ribeiro's numbers: 2007-08 and 2008-09. Those two seasons, the Quebecois had an average corsi rel of 10.05, easily his best two years – and those came against the weakest relative competition that he faced in that five-year period (combined corsi rel average of -.306 compared to .711 in the other three years). Not surprisingly, those two seasons also produced the two best point totals of his career: 83 and 78 points, respectively (for more in depth analysis on Ribeiro's last five seasons from Japers Rink, click here).
So what does this tell us about Ribeiro, and how does that tie in to Ovechkin?

Great School! I love it there even though the academics are rigorous... it's an amazing environment to be in.
I go to Winsor and it is such a great school! the academics are very rigorous and challenging but still very fun and enjoyable. You get a ton of homework but make amazing lifelong friends. Coming to Winsor was one of my best decisions! It is very well known for its outstanding college matriculation as well.
I currently attend the Winsor School and I LOVE it! Everyone is so nice and the teachers are amazing! I have learned so many things that I will use throughout my life!
Winsor is a good school. There is still lot of room for imrovement.They should try to make their math dept more stonger.Also the students can be given more homework.
Winsor has a phenomenal reputation that it does not live up to in the middle school. My daughter although socially very happy hasfound the academics unstimulating and surprisingly rigid in their philospophy and teaching. I find the environment inhibitory to my daughters intellectual exploration. The academcs in the core subjects are no better than a very good public school system - Newton, Brookline, Wellesley etc. The extras like physical education, art, drama, and language are very well done and far exceed anything you would receive in a public setting. My daughter does not find the academics difficult although the sometimes rigid expectations and intolerant comments to alternate points of view can be. I understand that rigor improves in the upper school. The current administration really needs to improve the middle school dramatically.
A Winsor education is the best thing you can do for your daughter. It opens doors that even a Harvard degree could not. It opens your mind to real life learning in addition to rigorous academics. I graduated 14 years ago and I hope to send my daughter there one day. It is the best education, and more importantly, a life opportunity for any young girl.
I recently graduated from Winsor and truly adore the school. Winsor teaches students three things: the facts, how they can be spun, and how to over-analyze them. By graduation, most people have found a tolerable balance between the three.
I can't say enough good things about this school - the faculty is amazing, the students are friendly and motivated, and the curriculum challenging and rigorous. Winsor truly deserves all its accolades.
The mathematics department is average, at best. If you seek a stimulating math or science curriculum, you may be better served elsewhere. School can be clicky. They need to introduce more AP choices and allow for acceleration of highly able students to remain competitve. If you crave a small single gender school for your daughter (and this is your main criteria), this can be a good choice.
I go to winsor and I absoulutley love it! Its the best place to be-you feel not only comfortable but happy too!
best education in the east coast, probably the country. great college admission. warm, loving, engaged environment.
I really love Winsor. I am currently enroled in classes there, and I can't find many faults. Although a previous comment states that 9th grade is the best time to apply, I disagree. I came in 5th grade, when everybody was new, and I made some very special friendships. In 9th grade, only ten new students are accepted, and even though it's fairly easy to make new friends, I don't think it is the same as being with the same people from before highschool started.
My advice to prospective students is: Wait until 9th grade to apply here. You can get the same ducation at a good public school in grades 5-8 (Lower). Beginning in 9th, the school takes the girl's education more seriosuly. That's when they deep six the empty, liberal, 'diversity' agenda for real learning, IMO.
I am a recent graduate of Winsor, and I cannot say anything but great things about this school. Initially, I was skeptical, and only went to Winsor because my parents made me. But over the next seven years of my life, I grew to love Winsor. It is hard for me to explain in words how fondly I look back on my days there. I thank Winsor every day for preparing me for the workload at college. I go to Northwestern University now, and I can honestly say that in some classes, the work is more difficult at Winsor. But beyond academics, this school has taught me so much about friendship, trust and love. My friendships from Winsor are ones that I know will last a lifetime. Out of the 58 girls in my class, there was not one that I didn't consider my friend.
My Winsor experience varies greatly from the other reviewer. Winsor is inconsistent with applying knowledge to their students---as the teaching staff is so inconsistent. There are some great teachers and then some that are 'so-so'. In my exerience, it is not so academic as it comes off--the school has been mostly easy for my daughter and not very tolerent of differences, unless we are talking about etnhic/cutural background differences--and then they are very tolerenat and supportive. I guess it is not clear exactly what Winsore is looking for!

Arrive in Windhoek and make your way to the hotel. Attend a pre-departure group meeting with your tour leader scheduled for the evening. With a population of 230,000, and an altitude of 1654m, Windhoek is the capital of Namibia. Windhoek was originally the centre of a Nama leader, Jan Jonker Afrikaner, who defeated the Herero inhabitants of the region in the mid 19th century. Windhoek became the seat of colonial rule in 1892, as the capital of the colony of South-West Africa (Deutsch-Südwestafrika). They built a fort that eventually spanned a town that grew under its protection. During World War I, Windhoek was captured by South African troops and became a British dominion. Until the independence of Namibia was inaugurated in 1990, Windhoek was recognized as the capital of South West Africa as administered by the South African government. The city of Windhoek was traditionally known by two names: Ai-Gams, by the Nama people, which literally refer to the hot springs that were once part of Windhoek, while the second name, Otjomuise, meaning a place of steam, was given by the Herero people. Both traditional names refer to the hot springs.
Approximate Distance: 470 km Estimate Travel Time: 5 Hours Today we continue through the eastern part of Namibia, and cross into Botswana and travel into the heart of the Kalahari. Get a glimpse of how the San adapted to the Kalahari Desert. Learn fascinating wilderness survival skills by local Bushmen on an optional Bushman walk. Evening Sundowner drink at the "GAT" old quarry (included). Ghanzi, located western part of Botswana on the northern rim of the Kalahari Desert, is the administrative center of Ghanzi District, and is also known as the "Capital of the Kalahari". Ghanzi is an intriguing town, and is primarily a farming community that supplies the Botswana Meat Commission with most of the required beef produce. In fact, it is the starting point of a 800 km long cattle trek—one of the longest in the world. Cattle are driven on horseback or by truck across the Kalahari southeastward to slaughterhouses at Lobatse. Ghanzi mostly consists of a variety of ethnic cultures for instance the Bushman, Bakgalagadi, Baherero, Batawana as well as Afrikaners. Other spellings include "Gantsi," which is more consistent with the national language of Botswana, Setswana, "Ghansi," and "Gantsi." Stay in traditional bushman huts tonight.
Approximate Distance: 330 km Estimate Travel Time: 5 Hours (depending on border crossing). Today we travel along the northern portions of the Kalahari Desert throughout the day - this is a severely arid, barren, though awesome landscape. After arrival in Maun, the biggest town in the Okavango Delta area, you can pick up any supplies and prepare for your 1 night/2 day journey into the Okavango Delta. Maun is the gateway to the Okavango Delta and has for a long time enjoying the reputation of being Botswana's own frontier town. Today it is one of the fastest growing towns in Africa. It was originally established in 1915 by the Batawana, a splinter group of the Bangwato. The name Maun means "place of reeds". Maun, although officially still a village, is the fifth largest town in Botswana. It is an eclectic mix of modern buildings and native huts. Maun is the "tourism capital" of Botswana and the administrative centre of Ngamiland district. Maun has developed rapidly from a rural frontier town and has spread along the Thamalakane River. It now boasts good shopping centres, hotels and lodges as well as car and 4-wheel drive vehicle hire. It still retains a rural atmosphere and local tribesmen continue to bring their cattle to Maun to sell. This community is now distributed along the wide banks of the Thamalakane River where red lechwe can still be seen grazing next to local donkeys, goats and cattle.
Estimate Travel Time: 3 hours After leaving some of our luggage in Maun, we begin our fantastic 2 day/1 night excursion into the delta as we drive in customized safari vehicles about 1-2 hours (depending on which dock we go to) to the "dock" where we hop into a mokoro, a dug-out canoe that will take us deep into the delta. After a 1-2 hour mokoro trip, we arrive at our basic "bush camp". For 2 days, enjoy game walks, mokoro trips (occasionally unavailable due to seasonality), birdlife and game viewing in the pristine wilderness area of the Okavango Delta, the world's largest inland delta. Note: If you pre booked the Okavango by plane theme pack, you should be flying today. "Where all this water goes is a mystery", Aurel Schultz, 1897 The area of the delta was once part of Lake Makgadikgadi, an ancient lake that dried up some 10,000 years ago. Today, the Okavango River has no outlet to the sea. Instead, it empties onto the sands of the Kalahari Desert, irrigating 15,000 square km of the desert. Each year some 11 cubic kilometers of water reach the delta. Some of this water reaches further south to create Lake Ngami. The water entering the delta is unusually pure, due to the lack of agriculture and industry along the Okavango River. It passes through the sand aquifers of the numerous delta islands and evaporates/transpirates by leaving enormous quantities of salt behind. This precipitation processes are so strong that the vegetation disappears in the center of the islands and thick salt crusts are formed. The waters of the Okavango Delta are subject to seasonal flooding, which begins about mid-summer in the north and six months later in the south (May/June). The water from the delta is evaporated relatively rapidly by the high temperatures, resulting in a cycle of cresting and dropping water in the south. Islands can disappear completely during the peak flood, then reappear at the end of the season.
Approximate Distance: 200km Estimate Travel Time: 2.5 Hours Enjoy one last sunrise in the delta before travelling back to Maun by mokoro. We stop in Maun, pick up our luggage, have lunch and continue to the village of Gweta, located near the bizarre salt pans of Makgadikgadi. The town is situated between the larger towns of Nata and Maun and is on the edge of the Makgadikgadi Pans, an immense area devoid of anything but salt and shimmering horizon. Makgadikgadi pan consists of two main pans, namely Ntwetwe and Sowa pan, both of which are surrounded by myriad smaller pans. Although it is totally devoid of any water, people used to live there before it was declared state land. Villagers were allowed to graze their livestock inside the boundaries during dry season. Upon arrival in the afternoon enjoy a village walk which will be conducted by Gweta's village representative. All guests will be shown various aspects of village life such as visiting the traditional doctor, the "smouses", the village entrepreneurs and viewing the 'kgotla.' We will visit the primary school where the children will be dressed in traditional attire and demonstrate some traditional "Motswana" dancing… every dance has a story to tell!! (not possible in school holidays or weekends). Time permitting, enjoy an optional sunset tour to one of the smaller pans (Nxaisini Pan) – leaves around 16h00/17h00 latest. (Min 4 x pax) Nxaisini Pan is a small pan about 15km away from Gweta with a natural spring that supplies the resident animals. Guests will be transferred in an open vehicle to Nxaisini pan where they will sit amidst the wild, enjoy sundowner snacks while observing the amazing scenery and sunset behind the old beautiful baobab.
Approximate Distance: 150km Estimated Travel Time: 1,5 hrs We stay 50km north of the pans at Elephant Sands. Go on an optional gamewalk in the conservation area of the state forests. This is a hunting area and all of the "big 5's" are present. It is well known for the Elephants that roam the area and they even get into the camp for a quick drink of water out of the swimming pool.
Approximate Distance: 370km Estimate Travel Time: 4.5 Hours Today we journey to the area of Chobe National Park, home to the largest elephant population in Southern Africa. The best way to appreciate one of Botswana's national parks and its thousands of resident elephants, crocodiles, and hippos, is on an optional sunset boat cruise on the Chobe River. You may also choose to embark on a game drive in search of lions, antelope, and of course elephants. Kasane is situated on the banks of the Chobe River, near its mouth. This is where the Chobe and Zambezi rivers meet, creating a border area of four countries – Namibia, Botswana, Zambia, and Zimbabwe. Chobe National Park is Botswana's first national park, and is situated along the Chobe River. It has one of the largest concentrations of wildlife in Africa and one of the world's last remaining sizeable wilderness areas. By size, this is the third largest park (11,000 sq km) of the country, though it is definitely the most diverse and spectacular. The park is probably best known for its spectacular elephant population: with over 120,000 it has the highest elephant concentration of Africa. Moreover, most of them are probably part of the largest continuous surviving elephant population on Earth. The elephant population seems to have solidly built up since 1990, from the few initial thousands. By chance, they have not been affected by the massive illicit exploitation of the 1970's and 1980's. Elephants living here are Kalahari elephants, the largest in size of all known elephant species. Yet they are characterized by rather brittle ivory and short tusks. Damage caused by the high numbers of elephants is rife in some areas. In fact, concentration is so high throughout Chobe that culls have been considered, but are too controversial and have thus far been rejected. During the dry season, these elephants sojourn in Chobe River and the Linyanti River areas. During the rain season, they make a 200 km migration to the south-east region of the park. Their distribution zone however outreaches the park and spreads to north-western Zimbabwe.
Approximate Distance: 80km Estimate Travel Time: 3 Hours (depending on border crossing) Cross the Zambezi River by ferry to enter into Zambia and continue to Livingstone. We will spend the last two days of our tour here, a great base to see both natural wonders and take part in some exciting activities. Get up close (and wet from the spray) while awing at the immense Victoria Falls, raft the whitewater of the mighty Zambezi, and for the more adventurous, bungee jump with the Victoria Falls in view. Tonight you will participate in a drumming session before enjoying a traditional African braai (BBQ) on your last night in Livingstone. David Livingstone was born on March 19, 1813 in the village of Blantyre, South Lanarkshire, Scotland. He first studied Greek, medicine, and theology at the University of Glasgow and while working in London, joined the London Missionary Society became a minister. He originally planned to gain access to China through his medical knowledge. The Opium Wars, which were raging at this stage with no signs of peace on the horizon, forced Livingstone to consider other options. From 1840 he worked in Bechuanaland (present-day Botswana), and in the period 1852–56, he explored the African interior, and was the first European to see the Mosi-oa-Tunya waterfall, which he renamed Victoria Falls after his monarch, Queen Victoria. The Victoria Falls waterfalls occur in a country that is perfectly flat. From its source on the borders of the Democratic Republic of Congo, the Zambezi River meanders for 1300 km across the wooded plateau of Zambia, eroding for itself a shallow valley on its mild descent to the site of the falls. The river eventually found a weak spot on the lower lip of the surface over which it passed, and forced a passage which was steadily deepened into an exit gorge. During the last half million years the river has scoured out eight of these cracks across its bed. The Victoria falls occur where the river is 1688m wide, presents the spectacle of an average maximum of 550 million liters of water a minute tumbling over the lip of the trench in five main falls, the Devil's Cataract, Main falls, Horseshoe Falls, Rainbow falls and the Eastern Cataract. The highest of these is Rainbow falls, on an average 108 m high. A peak flood sees 750 million liters of water in one minute hurtling over the falls. The name Zambezi comes from the Tonka tribe, also meaning Great River, but the Sotho-speaking Kololo people of the upper reaches of the river gave it the well-known name of Mosi o a Thunya (smoke that rises). The Lozi people call it by the same name but translated it into smoke that sounds. The Ndebele call it aManza Thunqayo (the water that rises like smoke). The Namibian people call it Chinotimba (a noise-making place like the distant sound of digging).

Sometimes I refer to myself as a transit nerd, but honestly, I don't come anywhere near the ZIP code of the obsessive public transportation wonks over at Seattle Transit Blog. I make a point of riding new routes on the first day of operation whenever I can, but they get down to a granular level that escapes me. They sometimes do math, and even graphs*! What I mean to say is, I can't communicate at their level, but I love to read their blog.
But sometimes their posts should be read by everyone who uses multiple transit options in the Seattle metro area. This post by Zach Shaner is an exhaustive pro/con list about Zipcar and Car2Go, including pricing analysis, availability, insurance costs, and much, much more. He finds that there are a lot of ways the two services complement each other. If you care about carsharing, you should go read the whole thing.
* Or are "graphs" just another "math" thing?
Build The Hydrogen Economy!
This nation needs a new energy infrastructure based on Hydrogen. Hydrogen storage and use augments the capture of green energy from solar, wind and tides. Cities can build fuel cell power plants running on hydrogen right in their densest cores. Fuel cell vehicles can travel hundreds of miles and their tailpipes leave only water vapor. Let us now allocate not thousands, but billions and billions of dollars towards jobs and technology in research, development, investment and infrastructure that complement the new commercial businesses creating product for the use, storage, and creation of Hydrogen.

September 27, 2011 Tips on Managing Your Company's Social Media Account [DMA11]
Social media campaigns live and die by a company's ability to keep up a high level of activity. This is key, especially for fast paced social media platforms, where an avalanche of activity from others can bury your skillfully crafted updates and marketing messages in minutes. Here are a few tips on social media impact maximization that you can use to help manage a Twitter account, or any other online platform for that matter.
Always have something to say. You don't have to be controversial to get people interested in what you're posting online, but it may not be enough to simply publish links or inane comments. If you do this, you run the risk of coming off like a spammer or a troll. Limit your online conversations only to those things that will help further your social media campaign.
Update frequently. Whereas the average blog update is recommended to take place at least once a week, in order to amass a substantial online following you've got to ramp up activity. The trick, however, is to not burn yourself out or set a standard that you can't keep up with.
Share the mic. Social media campaigns are all about you, but they shouldn't appear that way. Interact with other people via various online platforms to help gain exposure for yourself and to keep people interested in what you have to say.
Promote your social media accounts in the "real world." They say that word of mouth is still the best publicity, so why not put it to the test? Add your website URL to your company business cards, as well as links to your social media profiles.
To manage a social media campaign that attracts tens of thousands of followers, you have to emulate the success stories. Nobody's telling you to go on any Charlie Sheen rants, but following some of the examples set by uber-successful social media stars isn't the worst idea in the world. You can find out what the experts are saying about maximizing the impact of social media campaigns by taking part in this year's DMA2011 Conference & Exhibition, which is happening in Boston this October. There will be plenty of lectures and workshops that you can attend to help you sharpen your focus and teach you new approaches for your social media campaign. Visit www.dma11.org to learn more.

So since there are so many articles on what Toyota, Lexus and Scion are doing at SEMA, instead of posting each individually, going to post collections as I find them in one place.
Video Preview of Lexus cars at SEMA
Swagger wagon supreme:
Prius Plus Performance Package:
Looks like Honda isn't the only automaker trying to cash in on the idea of a "sport hybrid." Toyota has just debuted its new line of Plus performance parts at this year's SEMA show, and the first vehicle to benefit from these new accessories is the Prius hybrid.
The Prius Plus Performance Package (say that three times fast) includes a seven-piece aero kit that still allows the sleek hatch to maintain its 0.25 coefficient of drag. The new front and rear bumper spoilers, side skirts and rear diffuser are rounded off with an attractive set of 17-inch forged wheels wrapped in slick 215/45-series tires.
In an effort to keep things as economical as possible, the Prius' hybrid engine does not receive any upgrades, but the hatch's suspension has been tweaked to provide better overall handling. Sport-tuned lowering springs have been fitted and a rear sway bar has been put in place to keep things flat and stable during cornering.
Toyota will be offering the Plus Performance Package in limited quantities beginning in April of next year. Follow the jump for the official details and see the modded-up Prius for yourself in the galleries below.
Yaris GT-S Club Racer:
With plenty of other blinged out rides at the 2010 SEMA Show, Toyota's Yaris GT-S Club Racer is a refreshing change of pace. There's no big stereo system in the trunk, and it doesn't make 500-hp. Instead, it's a purpose built track car that's not only ready to do battle in SCCA competition, but has already done so.
Built by SportsCar Magazine the little Yaris was piloted by associate editor Jason Isley to win the Southern Pacific H Production Division Championship, eventually finishing 8th at the annual runoffs.
Sporting a significantly modified Toyota 1.5-liter 4-cylinder, the Yaris makes 145-hp thanks to bolt-ons like a DC Sports header, K&N intake and some interior engine work. A Scion xB final drive also assists in acceleration, while a Kaaz LSD keep ensured maximum traction. A completely stripped-out shell drops weight by 400 lbs, while outside the custom bodywork gets some retro-inspired livery while keeping the car glued to the ground are a set of tiny 13×7-inch Jongbloed Racing wheels.
Prius C&A Custom Concept:
Can a Prius be sporty? Toyota's latest offering here at SEMA proves to us that it can certainly try to look the part. The Prius C&A Custom Concept wears an aggressive, lightweight carbon fiber body kit and rides on 18-inch forged aluminum wheels. What's more, the C&A has been substantially lowered thanks to a TIEN setup that drops the hatch's ride height by four inches in front and six inches out back. The result is a Prius that has been transformed from a do-good hybrid into what looks like the anime version of a Lamborghini Reventón.
The upgrades have continued inside the Prius, where the cabin has been covered (and we mean covered) in Alcantara suede. The headliner, A and B pillars, door trim, rear seat, console box, front Recaro seats, steering wheel and even the aluminum shift knob all wear Alcantara.
This Prius certainly echoes the SEMA theme, as odd as it may be. See for yourself in our high-res gallery below, and read Toyota's own words about the C&A Custom in the press release after the jump.

Everyone is rightly excited about the wall of amazing tech-enabled startups being born in Europe and Israel, disrupting massive industries including media, marketing, fashion, retail, travel, finance and transportation. However, there's one incredibly disruptive startup based in London that is going after one of the biggest markets of all, and is so opaque it is largely unknown in the world of business – and, much to my chagrin, it's also impossible to invest in.

A Letter to German Entrepreneurs: Your Instincts are Always Better than Bad Advice
As the European startup ecosystem matures, you would expect young entrepreneurs to enjoy ever-increasing access to useful advice from mentors, business leaders, experienced entrepreneurs, legal advisors and investors. Yet, surprisingly, we continue to come across founders who have made significant mistakes in their early capital raises that we suspect go against their own instincts and jeopardize the foundations of the businesses they are building.
Clinical Trial Transparency: Time for some carrot as well as more stick?
Today, the majority of clinical trials that are run never report their results in a form that is accessible to the public.
Supercell Achieves Orbit
In 2010, the thirtieth year of SoftBank's existence, its founder Masayoshi Son outlined the company's vision for the next 30 years. He first set the context by zooming out to talk about how the world and the needs of humanity would evolve over the next 300 years, and stated his firm objective for SoftBank to survive at least that long. And then, zooming back in, explained that in this context, having a 30-year plan was absolutely essential.
Helping Farmers Protect Their Crops From Adverse Weather
This morning Monsanto announced its acquisition of The Climate Corporation. Index Ventures led Climate's seed round and co-led or participated in every round the company has raised since. We are enormously proud of what David Friedberg and his team have achieved.
LSE readies for lift off
There comes a time in the life-span of any large successful company when they consider an IPO. In fact, almost all of the technology companies, which we now consider to be great, such as ASOS, Google and Priceline, have 'gone public' en route to achieving that status.
Now, thanks to a combination of favourable market conditions and the underlying strength of the fundamentals in the technology sector, this is precisely the right moment for the next wave of potentially global businesses to be mulling over and preparing for the possibility of an IPO.
Smaller, Better, Faster, Stronger: Remaking government for the digital age
"The heresies of one age become, as they always do, the orthodoxies of the next." So said Margaret Thatcher in 1979, but it could easily have been David Cameron at the Liaison Committee in Parliament yesterday. Whoever is in power, making Britain's public services more efficient and effective means taking on the broken orthodoxy of Whitehall thinking.
Platform Technologies – the foundations of big pharma or their nemesis?
It has often been said that one of the key features that distinguishes "big pharma" from biotech is access to the latest technological platforms to aid efficient drug discovery and development.

It was a frightening situation that riveted the village of Chase one April afternoon: a man walked into the local bank, told staff to get out and said, "I'm going to blow this place up."
He was reportedly armed with a knife, a gun and a bomb.
While all the employees were safely evacuated, surrounding buildings and homes had to be cleared out, the downtown shut down and nervous residents hovered around the police perimeter.
After a six-hour standoff, the man emerged, taunting police to shoot him. Upon his arrest, the handgun turned out to be a pellet gun and the bomb some batteries, elastic bands and a wire.
But the incident rattled residents, one of them telling The Daily News at the time, "I've never seen anything like this happen here."
Given the circumstances, we might have expected the judge to throw the book at John Leblanc when case wound through the courts, but it didn't turn out like that.
During the trial, we learned of Leblanc's heartbreakingly sad life — when he was three, his father left, his stepdad abused him, he ended up in a reform school known for sexual abuse, his mother died giving birth and his sister hanged herself.
He spent his life drifting across the country, a loner who battled the demons of booze and drugs, and hit bottom that April day, resorting to an extreme act in a cry for help.
His lawyer, Chris Thompson, criticized the province for devoting numerous resources toward helping "native offenders" but leaving people like Leblanc to spin in the wind and took it upon himself to try to find housing for Leblanc, who received a conditional sentence of 12 months on Thursday, with two years probation to follow.
Thanks to his lawyer's efforts, he will serve his sentence at John Howard Society's Lighthouse building — transition housing where rent includes utilities, furniture and household goods, with community support workers on site every day and programs that aim to enhance life skills.
The wheels of justice can be seen doing little more than rolling over those who fall under their tread and spitting them into prison, but a case like this shows there are people with a pulse that give the system a beating heart.

Okay, but not awesome. by LadyX
With so many different file managers out there this one is a little lacking. It does have all the functionality that we're come to expect from a file manager, but the interface is a bit clunky and doesn't seem as well laid out as some of the other top file manager apps. This app worked fine on my HTC EVO but is laggy and has force closes on my ET4G. I've since uninstalled it and gone with another file management app.

It's been a long time, but it looks like Bravo Media are finally getting ready for the forgotten Real Housewives franchise; The Real Housewives of New York City to return sometime in 2014.

The Real Housewives of New York City – Season 6 Promo
Why the RHoNY Pay Stand-off is a $25m+ Gamble for Bravo Media
Yesterday news broke of a 'strike' due to a RHoNY pay stand-off, by the six returning cast of The Real Housewives of New York as they attempt to wangle greater financial rewards from their paymasters Bravo Media. Since 2006 Bravo Media have built a cash generator of massive proportions with their mega-successful franchise and while it's true that RHoNY last season fell to become the second lowest rated of the Housewives' franchise (in the USA Anyway), it is still a huge cash cow for Bravo TV and their owners Comcast.
Bravo Ratings for Monday October 22nd, 2012 – RHoNY Lost Footage and WWHL
Last night the longest RHoNY season of its five, wrapped up with off-cuts and some 'off' moments. Seemingly the audience was off as well, off watching the 3rd & final Presidential Debate, as just 933,000 viewers tuned in. With a 0.40 in the 18-49 demo, that means that this is the lowest rated episode for RHoNY since April 2008. While it's true that Lost Footage episodes tend to score lower ratings, Season One's had 1,063,000 viewers, and Season 3′s was watched by 1,440,000 (demo 0.60), under one million would never have been expected. Incidentally Season 2 and Season 4 didn't have Lost Footage episodes. Embarrassingly for Bravo this also means that Jill Zarin's appearance on WWHL last Monday had higher viewership than the final RHoNY episode of the season. Read more
Bravo Ratings for Monday October 15th 2012 – RHoNY Reunion & WWHL Jill Zarin
As ratings information comes in we'll keep updating this post.
Last night fired former Real Housewife of New York City was given an unprecedented platform that rightly or wrongly has made today's Bravo story all about Jill and not the three new or three veteran RHoNY Cast members. If you're a Jill fan you'll love that, and if you're a Jill foe, then you would be right to question what exactly was Bravo's reason to provide this opportunity to her.
Here are the raw numbers and we'll be adding analysis shortly. Read more
Bravo Ratings for Monday October 8th 2012 – RHoNY Reunion & WWHL
Last night the Real Housewives of New York City entered uncharted territory as, with a 19th episode airing, its fifth season became its longest. The first tranche of the RHoNY Reunion only managed to attract an audience of 1,700,000 (and a 0.80 in the 18-49 demo). Sadly, in overall viewers that's less than the 2nd reunion episode from last season that Andy Cohen said caused the major recasting this season. What's more, is that that viewer total is lower than even Season One's reunion way back in 2008.
For the last 16 weeks Miss Advised and then Gallery Girls took the 10pm time slot after RHoNY, and as for RHoNY's first two Season 5 episodes, this week RHoNY repeated with the repeat airing scoring an additional 1,012,000 viewers (18-49 demo 0.4). While this boosts the cumulative RHoNY audience, it also diluted the 9pm first airing's ratings which might give Bravo PR some leeway to explain away the ratings decline. Read more

2001 Chevy 4x4 problems
I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem.
My buddy has a 01 chevy1500 shortbed the 4wd isn't working at all and the light won't even come on. I traced the wires back to the ball type switch on top of the t case (np261). If I were a betting man I'd say the ball switch isn't working. I say this because my reverse switch on my nv3500 has the same style switch and it went bad. Like I said I just wanna know if anyone else has had this problem before I make him go buy a new switch. Input anyone?Ariner

07-28-2012, 10:35 PM #2Most of the time, when a GM 4x4 no longer acts as it should when in 4x4 selection, and the service 4WD light is not on, the problem is usually in the disconnect on the front passenger side axle. Failure to engage will not let the front axle provide traction.

07-29-2012, 09:28 AM #3I'm not getting power to my actuator and the light I was talking about was was the light that just says "4x4". My mistake for not making that clear but thanks for the reply!
07-29-2012, 09:51 AM #4Which may be an indication that the TCCM has not tried to switch into 4x4
So, if you are saying, when you switch to 4x4. the 2wd light goes out, but the 4wd light does not come on; then yes, the problem is probably the switch. Try twisting the knob 20 to 50 times, the wiping motion may clean the contacts.
07-29-2012, 12:39 PM #5Yeah like you said the 2wd goes out but the 4x4 light doesn't come on. Ok thanks I'll try that with the switch.

Wow, what great pictures!! It looks like it was a dream come true!!
How did you decide to go with that place? It seems like there are so many resorts to pick from!
I was just talking to Brandon the other day about what we wanted to do for a honeymoon. Of course, I'm all for sitting on a beach for a week, ;) but he wants to do something more adventurous like an Alaskan cruise. Hmmmm... guess we'll have to meet in the middle somehow. :)

Hi, newbie here, so I'm sorry for silly question. I browsed some sketchbooks yesterday, and got my eyes full of porn, and I can't find any rules forbidding this, so I assume it's okay to submit it? I'm asking because I really don't want penises, vaginas, and rectums in my face when I'm browsing for potentially great artists, so if it's allowed, couldn't some sort of warning be in place on those threads? Artistic nudity is one thing (even pin-ups), but porn is on a whole different level.
I know, I sound really old fashioned or something for writing this, and sure, porn has its place (like on the rest of the internet) but that doesn't mean I want it in art.
Sooo, is it allowed or not? I tried searching for it, but came up with nothing.

Recipe by NWANEK
"Great way to use up leftover turkey, really different casserole good enough for company. Fast and easy."
Watch video tips and tricks
1 (6 ounce) package long grain and wild rice mix (such as Uncle Ben's®)
2 1/4 cups water
1 tablespoon butter (optional)
3 cups cubed cooked turkey
1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup
1 cup chopped celery
1 cup water
1 (5 ounce) can sliced water chestnuts, drained
1/4 cup onion, chopped
3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons butter, melted, or as needed
1 1/2 cups soft bread crumbs
I made this recipe last week and it was wonderful. I substituted cream of mushrooom soup for the cream of chicken. everyone who had it cleaned their plates!
I personally liked the recipe. My husband ate it, but he wasn't thrilled with it. I guess he thought it was bland, so he put Tobasco on it. I made it exactly, but didn't have an onion. I'm also confused by the butter to breadcrumps ratio because I used 4 T of butter and it didn't come close to blending with all the bread crumbs, therefore leaving a dry layer on top of casserole after baking, which I just basically scooped off. Maybe I was supposed to use real bread instead of the canned bread crumbs??

Asalamalaikum I've an aunt who is very sweet and a girl of patience. Yesterday I saw her weeping very badly . Wen asked what the problem was she poured out everything to me and I really felt very bad for what she was going through. Her husband is very rude towards her n never let's her take rest at all. He has a problem with everything she has to do. he Never lets her sit n take rest for a minute.She tries her best to keep him happy. He keeps shouting n yelling slangs at her. She is always working . She does every work from washing cars to polishing his shoes. Even then he is very unfair towards her. N moreover to add to her misery she can't give birth also.she has one daughter who is a prematured baby. That kid finds it very difficult to read and write. And all this has to be borne by her. She is tired of all this and wants to get rid of her problems. Divorce is not at all an option coz she has a daughter.so then what can she do to her husband to keep him happy.. N also he has hurt her by sleeping around aid other women. She is really hurt..plz help!!! |
Wa 'alaikumus salam wa ra'hmatullahi wa barakatuhu wa maghfiratuhu. Your aunt seems to have fallen in the hands of a bad husband. That's why women should know their husband's character before marrying. Your aunt and his husband both need to change their character. Your aunt has to be stronger and her husband needs to be softer. You mentioned divorce is not an option. But why not? I mean if your aunt has financial backup then wouldn't it be better to leave this husband? He is ruining your aunt's life. Some people never change. Remember fir'aun? He was one of the most evil men. His wife was Hazrat Asiah radiallahu ta'ala 'anhu. She tried to change fira'un's character but it was of no use. He still remained that way and died as a kafir. From this story, you can see that the same case is with your aunt and your husband. With my limited knowledge, I see that either of these two action will be most apropiate here -

Deploying Debian systems with FAI
Your Own Taste
The files/ directory stores by class all the files that FAI will copy to the target system. The hierarchy below files/ is based on the Debian directory tree. To illustrate this point: If you select the CC_HPCOMPAQ class, you will expect to find the menu.lst file in the client's /boot/grub directory later. For this to happen, you need to copy the contents of menu.lst into the files/boot/grub/menu.lst/CC_HPCOMPAQ/ directory. FAI does not automatically copy user-defined files below files/ to the target system; this only happens if the configuration script contains an fcopy command.
The command
fcopy -iM /boot/grub/menu.lst
copies the GRUB bootloader configuration file menu.lst to the client. It is part of the BC_LINUX class.
The /hooks directory contains programs or scripts for customizing the installation process. Finally, the scripts/ directory contains the scripts that FAI runs during the install. You can easily use fcopy to copy files on the basis of the client class or as a local command with the ${ROOTCMD} command.
In typical Unix style, FAI offers a number of scripting options. Besides legacy shell scripts, FAI will also run Perl or Cfengine scripts. Cfengine is a good choice for modifying configuration files.
After planning, collating, and configuring installation files and scripts, you are finally ready to use FAI to automate the installation process on a large number of computers. The last step is to extend the DHCP and TFTP configurations in a way that will allow the new clients to boot off the network and automatically launch into the FAI installation. To do so, you just need to apply the settings for the first test run. Once the FAI client has completed the installation, it will display a summary onscreen and wait for somebody to press Return to trigger a reboot (see Figure 3).
The FAI deployment framework stores all installation processes in logfiles on the server. If necessary, you can evaluate the files in the /-var/log/fai/ directory and check them for errors.
Remote Control
FAI is a versatile tool for automating the installation of DEB-based Linux distributions. In addition to x86, the automatic installer also supports Sparc and PowerPC architectures. The FAI installation solution is ideal for many situations, from computer clusters to heterogeneous IT infrastructures in enterprises. Once you have negotiated the learning curve, FAI provides a powerful tool capable of automating almost any Debian-based installation.
