The new 800 XC is very much the bigger, burlier brother of Triumph's two new Tigers. From the moment you swing your leg on board it's clearly a taller, seemingly more substantial machine. The combination of 21-inch wire front wheel (in place of the 800's cast 19incher), longer travel (by 40mm) 45mm forks (the 800's are 43mm) and slightly wider ...
Triumph's new Tiger 800 is the slightly more basic, more road-orientated and novice-friendly (not to mention cheaper) version of its two, new, three cylinder dual-purpose machines. The other is the Tiger 800XC. It's a great bike, too – impressing immediately with excellent ergonomics, and a superbly linear and progressive power delivery.

Stop making faces and eat up all your veggies. :)
The flowers will keep on coming after I pause for two days to fulfill my obligations to SKY WATCH on Thursday and PHOTO HUNT on Friday. Unlike last week, I think a pause from floral parade is necessary to address these two photo memes.

That's exquisite. It does look like it's making a face.
I don't know who the culprit was as far as my autumn arrangement but I'm guessing squirrels. I wouldn't mind if they'd eat the corn but it was wild that it would remove it from the cob and leave in on my porch.

Many people think that Florida does not have an estate tax. This is not true.
Florida has an estate tax; however, it is not an independent estate tax. It operates hand in hand with the federal estate tax. The Florida estate tax is imposed only if there is a federal estate tax imposed. And the Florida estate tax is imposed only to the extent the federal estate tax laws grant a credit for paying the Florida estate tax.

Local cheese challenge!
- Ruth Lafler Aug 22, 2013 09:34 AM
Someone started a thread a while back claiming there was no "proper" cheese in the US. Of course s/he was quickly disabused of this notion. However, that brings up an interesting phenomenon: the rise of artisan cheese making across the US.
Now, I live in Northern California. We're incredibly spoiled with the amazing array of local products and always on the first wave of any food trend. But more and more I'm running across references to artisan cheesemakers in places I don't think of as food trendsetters, most recently Tennessee.
So here's a the challenge: find the cheesemaker closest to you, whether it's just down the road or 100 miles away. It might be closer than you think!
Indiana here. This is a place not typically thought of as a chowish destination or a foodie haven, yet there are some wonderful artisanal and/or farmstead cheeses to be found within a short drive time for me (< 3 hrs). Offhand, the producers I can think of are Jacobs and Brichford Cheese, Caprini Creamery, Canal Junction Cheese, and Traders Point Creamery (all of which are farmstead, I believe). There's also a local cheesemaker who uses extra Traders Point milk to create flavored cheeses. Of course, there is the nationally recognized and quite well known Capriole goat cheese!
I am delighted by the trend in local cheesemaking (and the production of quality local food in general!_
re: nofunlatte
I am obsessed with Swiss Connection's grass fed Kase (raw milk) and Maybury (pasteurized) cheddars. They are located in Clay City, Indiana. They have several other cheeses available as well.
re: Smores
I forgot about Swiss Connection! Yes, I've had the Kase (not the Maybury, though). Hmmm, time to make a cheese tour of Indiana.
I live in the Seattle-Tacoma area, so of course Beecher's is a well-known (and often-visited) local cheese producer.
Another one I tried for the first time about a year ago is Mt. Townsend Creamery, located in Port Townsend on the Olympic Peninsula. They have some soft cheeses that are nice, and I really liked their New Moon and Red Alder cheeses.
This is a great challenge. There are a food number of WA state cheese producers located on my side of the mountains...I am going to make it a mission to try them all!
re: jlhinwa
try Samish Bay cheese in Bow,Wa(exit 235? I think) off I-5,
samishbaycheese.com.It's a working farm,organic,raise their own meats also.
Just stopped yesterday on way home from Vancouver,BC and dropped an easy $150 on fresh and aged selection of cheeses and their own sausages.
Good luck!
re: grangie angie
I bought BC cheeses on my last trip to Vancouver. The Tiger Blue was one of the best blue cheeses I've ever had.
I'm going to try to find cheeses made in my county -- I'm currently not aware of any, although in my childhood we would visit a cheese factory in Pleasanton, which is in the south eastern part of my county. I wouldn't be surprised if there were cheesemakers again in that area.
re: Ruth Lafler
I'll be really curious to see if you find any!
re: Caitlin McGrath
A quick search turned up these in Alameda and Contra Costa counties:
Pacific Cheese in Hayward manufactures and wholesales cheese
Belfiore in Berkeley
Berkeley Farms makes cottage cheese
Queso Salazar in Brentwood
Then some other dairy producers that popped up, but not making cheese now.
Challenge Dairy in Dublin makes butter, but no cheese afaik
Pavel's Yogurt in San Leandro, but no cheese afaik
Safeway processes fluid milk in San Leandro
re: Melanie Wong
Yeah, I'd spaced about Belfiore.
re: grangie angie
Thank you for the recommendation! We will have to make the trip up there.
I like this challenge...it's going to be a lot of fun!
We tried cheese curds for the first time two weeks ago while in Wisconsin. Mr.jlh loved them...of course it just so happens that Beecher's sells cheese curds in their Pike Place Market store. Tomorrow's family day outing is going to include a stop at Beecher's. we've been there a number of times but it never gets old for me.
Great idea!
As one who lives in France you might think I'd be spoiled for choice. The fact is that in my local area all I can get is chevre. Mind you I can get a wonderful variety of these wonderful cheeses.
To get an array of the many other cheeses in France I have to go to a specialist cheese shop of my local Hypermarket. At lunch today we had: gaperon, cantal, Neufhatal & Forme de Aumbert.. Wonderful cheeses, but none them truly local.
So, keep up the good work. When, if ever, we return to the states we'll have a valuable reference.
Utah surprisingly has a few!
Just up the road 20 minutes from me is Rockhill Creamery: http://www.rockhillcheese.com/
Also: http://www.beehivecheese.com/ in Salt Lake City and http://www.shepherdscheese.com/ in Tooele.
re: YvonneChristine
barely buzzed cheese is delightful!
re: nofunlatte
I agree.
I live in Pasadena, CA (Los Angeles area), and we have Gioia Cheese for fresh burrata and other goodies: http://www.gioiacheeseinc.com/
re: ElsieDee
Oh, man -- fresh, local burrata. Deeply envious.
Wow, talk about a softball for my usual cheese rant. OK, here goes: I live in dairy farming country. There are dairy farms within just a few miles of my home, and I can see dairy cattle from the windows at work. But local artisan cheeses, that I could purchase either at the farm or at my farmer's market....hardly. There is one cheesemaker (name escapes me, very small producer) whose goods are sometimes (as in perhaps once a month or so) for sale at another farmer's booth at the farmer's market in Merced. It may be made by the same folks that sell wonderful pastured eggs (Amsterdam Farms), although the cheese does not rise to the same level of perfection as those eggs, by any means. That's pretty much it.
Hilmar Cheese is a large cheese-maker in Merced County (Turlock) but it is not artisan and I can't buy it locally, although they do have a tour of their factory where tastings are given. (If you have driven down Highway 99 you've passed their large factory). Most of their cheese is sold to large retailers for private labels. I suspect I can buy it as Raley's store brand.
Even Joseph Cheese, started by Joseph Gallo, which is sold throughout the US and internationally per its website, isn't generally found in the stores around here, at least under its own name, even though the farm is less than ten miles from my house, and I drive by it all the time. (So, per your challenge, I suppose that Joseph Farms could be the closest cheese maker to me, although no, there is no tasting room, at least that I have ever found. One can purchase it on line and ship to anywhere, of course).
Now, I live in a relatively small town. I get that. The frustrating part is not even so much that I have to go to the bay area, or order on line, to find good to great cheese, although that is what I do (along with begging friends who visit from the bay area to bring cheese when they visit...). The frustrating part is that I am sure, in fact I know, that there are small family farms making cheese in this area. However, they don't sell it here. I am much more likely to find their products at the Ferry Building Plaza than at my own farmer's market. For example, I've never seen Fiscalini Farms (based out of Modesto) locally, but I can buy their San Joaquin Gold at Cowgirl Creamery. Or at the Glen Ellen Village Market (got some there the last time I was visiting my Dad in GE). And Fiscalini isn't even all that small (the list of retailers that carries it on their website is quite long).
I've seen more obscure San Joaquin Valley local cheese than Fiscalini at Cowgirl also. On a related note, I went online and noticed that Cowgirl Creamery has a 'cheese library' to help you determine the products they carry. Interesting, you can search by country, (as well as by cheese characteristics) with "USA" being one of the options. I think it would be wonderful if Cowgirl could be convinced to break out the database at least by regions, if not by state or county……
Edited to add: if anyone does know of any artisan cheeses made in the Central Valley, and for sale in the CV, please prove me wrong and clue me in as to where to find them! Rant over...
re: susancinsf
That IS aggravating, susan! We don't seem to have the same problem here in BC. Lots of in-province artisanal cheeses available at our local fine cheese purveyor in Vancouver at any rate. Summer is the best as Little Qualicum Cheeseworks is at many of the farmers' markets -- I love their cheese curds, which to my knowledge are not available in retail stores on the mainland (they are on Vancouver Island).
re: susancinsf
Susan, I stumbled across a reference to Organic Pastures, out of Fresno, which offers a raw cheddar. Here is their site: http://www.organicpastures.com/produc...
re: ElsieDee
cool! thanks...I entered my (Merced) zip code in their store finder, and came up with options to purchase the products in Turlock (20 miles away) and Mariposa (40 miles away), among others further afield. Will keep an eye out for it and report back when I try it.
re: susancinsf
Looking forward to the report.
Also, I found the California Artisan Cheese Guild, here: http://www.cacheeseguild.org/ and it might give some leads.
re: susancinsf
Cowgirl Creamery distributes those California artisan cheeses all over the country to any retailer that wants to buy them. What you need to do is convince a retail store in your area that there is demand for Fiscalini or other cheese and to stock it. Or place a special order through the store and get all your friends to do the same.
re: Melanie Wong
Good point. I've been successful in doing something similar with Straus dairy products (they had them at Raley's but discontinued them: brought them back after I complained; dont know if it was coincidence but sometimes I think they stock them just for me at the local store, I know Raleys/Nob Hill more broadly carries them)...I've mentioned it to the Raley's manager that I would like to see Fiscalini cheese and got a shrug. Need to work it from the Fiscalini end.
re: susancinsf
re: susancinsf
The artisan Farmer's Market cheesemaker I mentioned in my rant was at the Merced FM this morning, it is Buroughs Family Farms, in Denair (between Turlock and Modesto in Stanislaus County, and about 35 miles from here). They were selling both aged and non-aged organic gouda-style cheese. Their website does list several places to purchase in Merced including Joe's on the Go Cafe (which is a good little place for lunch, coffee or take out foods for early dinner in its own right, and right next to my hair salon, so yay! Will have to look for it there):
Burroughs Family Farms
re: susancinsf
That's great! Then those are the retailers that you need to convince to stock Fiscalini (and give Fiscalini their contact info for a sales call).
re: susancinsf
I spent Thanksgiving with my sister's in-laws in Merced and they gave us little Thanksgivukkah baskets that included the aged gouda.
Also, Grocery Outlet in Oakland has San Joaquin Gold for $8.99 a pound this week and I stocked up, so I have fridge full of Central Valley cheese.
Mojave, CA: Keep coming across references to Soledad Goats for fresh cheese. Will try to make it to a farmer's market to try. Here's one review - http://southpasadena.patch.com/groups...
re: ElsieDee
Those cheeses sound delicious! Isn't it amazing what we can find if we look?
Wow, such a great challenge. I just had a Google road trip and the closest cheesemaker I could find is Cedar Hill Farms in Darlington, MD (42 miles). I have never heard of or seen their cheeses but apparently they sell to several restaurants in the area and seem to have some interesting cheeses including a coffee thyme and cocoa cayenne flavored cheddars.
The next closest is FireFly Farms in Chester County, PA (80 miles). I have seen their cheeses at the local Whole Foods and I think I have tried their Black and Blue cheese.
Thanks for the idea, now I'll be hunting down some local cheeses.
re: fldhkybnva
That's great. And thank you for getting into the exploratory nature of this challenge!
re: Ruth Lafler
I must be related to Magellan as I'm quite the explorer. Last week someone mentioned a favorite brand of pickles and I've been stopping in every grocery store I pass...crazy food obsessed much? I'm sure I'll be in every cheese shop hunting for these cheeses.
Connecticut is blessed with several cheese makers: see
I'm most familiar with Cato Corner Farms whose catalog features not only good cheese but inventive names (Womanchego, Dairyere); Beaver Brook Farm, and Beltane Farm, specialists in goat cheese.
I thought I'd bump this thread up in conjunction with the cheese of the month and American cheese month.
When I was looking for American cheeses on igourmet I ran across a delicious-looking blue cheese from Florida -- anyone live nearby: http://winterparkdairy.com/
Here's an article about artisan cheesemaking in Florida: http://www.tampabay.com/features/food...
Ruggles Hill Creamery goat cheese, from Massachusetts, available at Formaggio's in Cambridge and Boston is the only one of the 18 listed artisanal farms making cow's milk or goat cheese according to a Massachusetts government link. I'm going to try to find some of the others. Of course Old Chatham makes first-rate sheep's milk cheeses found over the border in NY.
The closest to us in western Virginia are Caromont Farm near Charlottesville and Meadow Creek Dairy down in Floyd (near Va's western 'tail').
I know and love the Meadow Creek cheeses -- Appalachian is my favorite, but I also enjoy Mountaineer (a firm, Swiss-y type). Their most honored product is Grayson, a washed-rind Tallegio-type; but I haven't managed to warm to anything in that category yet. Appalachian is solid but soft, and really evokes mountain meadows. My mouth is watering a little as I think about it -- can't wait for Tuesday, when the cheese shop in town is open again!
A local couple that have been selling goat milk for several years have just recently put out their first cheese (plain chevre), and it's wonderful. I imagine freshness counts for quite a bit in goat cheese, and this is sweeter and less tangy than any I've ever had. They're off to a good start, but will probably be selling locally only (Rockbridge and Augusta counties) for the foreseeable future.
Last night we had Pennyroyal goat milk ricotta served with a dry-farmed tomato salad grown by Mariquita Farms, dressed simply with fresh basil, salt and extra virgin olive oil and served with grilled bread at Hayes Street Grill in SF. Pennyroyal is a farmstead cheese venture from the folks at Navarro Vineyards in Boonville, CA. The ricotta has a lusciously smooth texture, nothing that hints of graininess. Basically it feels like a lower fat version of fresh chevre with the same grassy taste. Very lovely.
re: Melanie Wong
Pennyroyal was sold at the Albany Farmer's Market (CA) until the end of October when the market closed.
I attended a "meet the cheesemaker" fundraiser for the California Artisan Cheese Guild last night in San Francisco. There were cheeses from Cypress Grove, Beehive, Cowgirl Creamery, Point Reyes Farmstead Cheese Co., Redwood Hill Farm and Creamery, Bleating Heart Cheese, Epicurean Connection, Valley Ford Cheese Co, Tomales Farmstead Creamery, Achadinha Cheese, Shamrock Goat Cheese, Pug's Leap, Laurel Chenel Chevre, Marin French Cheese Co, Sierra Cheese, Shamrock, Ewetopia, Weirauch Creamery, Orland Farmstead, Nicasio Valley Cheese Co. Bellwether Farms, Penny Royal, Barinaga Ranch and Gypsy Cheese, plus I think a few more. Mostly from Marin and Sonoma Counties (north of San Francisco) but a couple from the Central Valley and one (Beehive) from Utah.
As fellow cheesehound Windy said, it was interesting in part because most of the cheese makers are doing a similar style, or similar range of offerings so it was easy to make a direct comparison and also to get a sense of terrior.
It was great to be able to talk to the cheesemakers and interesting to hear about how they're handling the drought. Bleating Heart, for example, said that they made their mixed-milk blue cheese in part because it allowed them to empty two tanks of milk without cleaning the lines in between, saving water.
I was familiar with most of these cheesemakers. The standout new discovery for me was Tomales Farmstead Creamery, with their aged goat-sheep milk cheese Atika ("Atika is a blend of sheep and goat milk in roughly equal parts, this 3- to 4-pound tomme smells like warm melted butter and crème fraiche. The rind is hard, dry and deeply marked by the draining basket. The firm, dry paste has numerous small openings, and the flavor is buttery and tart." - review by Janet Fletcher) and their soft-ripened goat milk cheese Kenne ("Kenne's interior paste is delicate, and its thin rind adheres well to the cheese. Its flavor is mild and lactic, with notes of cream and yeast. There is a faint hint of citrus on the finish." -- Word on Cheese Culture). I was also impressed by the Valley Ford Estero Reserve. The Estero is an excellent cheese, but the reserve has the lovely caramelly notes of an aged gouda with just a hint of crystals.
re: Ruth Lafler
You just made me shiver, yikes.
re: Ruth Lafler
I forgot to mention another cheese that surprised me: SeaHive by Beehive from Utah. I'd tried a couple of their cheeses before and not been impressed, but this was delicious, with a faint note of honey (not sweet) on the finish: "From the land of salt and honey. Our SeaHive is hand-rubbed with wildflower honey harvested from a local farm and RealSalt® sea salt. RealSalt® is harvested from an ancient sea bed near Redmond, Utah and contains unique flecks of color from more than 50 natural trace minerals."
re: Ruth Lafler
Good to know because igourmet is carrying SeaHive.
We are lucky to have Lake Erie Creamery nearby which sells wonderful goat cheese products. Made right in an old factory building in downtown Cleveland with milk from a nearby goat farm. We are lucky to have a couple of other delicious goat cheese producers in the area. There are also some great cheeses being made with milk from grass fed cattle about an hour away. Fortunately they sell at many close-by farm markets. Some great Italian cheeses (mozzarella, mascarpone and ricotta mostly) are made by a company that started here in 1923.
There even and Ohio Cheese Guild--who knew?
re: gourmanda
"Who knew" -- EXACTLY! All this good cheese going on right under our noses.
One challenge for artisan cheesemakers in the US is that many (if not most of them) are still in start-up phase. As one of the cheesemakers noted last night, they don't have decades (or even centuries) of infrastructure behind them that's all paid for. So their costs -- and thus their prices -- are higher than a lot of European cheeses. I think one reason that so many American cheesemakers make goat cheese is that it's relatively less expensive to raise goats than cows, they produce more milk per pound, it can be done on less land, etc.

This week, a few dispatches from the networking world:
Comcast, Circuit City Team Up
Comcast is dressing up like a retailer these days to attract potential Triple Play customers. In partnership with Circuit City, the cable service provider has launched two digital home boutiques in the Boston area.
These "Connect" stores offer a mix of products, services and expert support. Customers can view interactive demos, schedule home theater installations, and get help for ailing PCs and networks from Circuit City's Firedog tech experts—in addition to signing up for Comcast's digital cable, voice and Internet services.
Quality of Service Enhancements
Some welcome steps to improve the quality of home video over 802.11 wireless: Netgear promises to add quality of service (QoS) enhancements to its high-end RangeMax routers in June, according to a recent story by PC Magazine.
QoS is a technique that allows for the prioritization of various types of network traffic, so you can ensure critical applications like video and voice calls get the bandwidth they need. RangeMAX QoS will let users prioritize traffic by applications and devices, by assigning them each one of four priority levels (highest, high, medium and normal.)
Consumers Still Don't Back Up
A surprise to me: One-third of consumers still aren't backing up their digital media, according to a recent study by market research firm Parks Associates ("Managing the Digital Home: Installation and Support Services.") In his May 7 blog, Parks analyst Kurt Scherf says most people are burning backups to CDs and DVDs—which by the way, aren't safe from theft or fire. Maybe it's overkill, but I back up to an online service, a thumb drive, and to my free Gmail backup service (e-mail myself important files.)

As the clock strikes midnight tonight the NFL's collective bargaining agreement will expire and owners are expected to lock out players. How long the lockout lasts and the resulting new CBA will effect not only current and former players, but a wide-ranging list of others, including officials, newly-drafted players, business owners near the stadiums and of course fans.
The NFL is more popular than ever, highlighted by the fact the league reported a $9 billion profit last year and last month's Super Bowl was the most-watched television show of all time.
If the work stoppage continues into the season, it would mark the first time since 1987 that the country's most popular sport lost regular-season games. In an industry with such mind-boggling financial numbers, any week without games would result in revenue losses amounting to about $400 million per week, according to NFL estimates.
It will also put a halt to the paychecks of active area players like former Baylor offensive lineman Jacques McClendon, who just completed his rookie season with the Indianapolis Colts, as well as City High's Tony Brown, a veteran defensive lineman with the Titans and former Hixson defensive back Josh Bullocks, who is now with the Chicago Bears.
Attempts to reach those players for comment were unsuccessful.
If the league does lock out the players, everything would stop except the NFL draft on April 28-30, and any interviews or workouts teams hold for college players leading up to the draft. But after that, teams would no longer be allowed to contact their picks or sign undrafted rookies.
All of which means players like former University of Tennessee at Chattanooga cornerback Buster Skrine, who likely moved up several draft boards with an impressive NFL combine earlier this week, could be drafted, then have no contact with their new team until the labor dispute is settled.
"Oh, I'm definitely curious to find out what happens," Skrine said. "I think they will eventually work something out, and soon because the thought of not having mini camp for rookies is crazy.
"To be honest, none of us at the combine were talking about the lockout that much. We were too occupied with the team interviews and our workouts. All I can control is to continue to train and make my stock rise as high as possible. Most of us college guys just want to get drafted and begin working out and getting ready to make a team. The rest is out of our hands."
Skrine added that should there be a prolonged lockout, he will train near his home in Georgia, but that he realizes each missed day puts him and other rookies further behind the learning curve.
The biggest sticking point all along has been how to divide the $9 billion revenue the league reported to have earned last year. That includes what cut team owners should get up front to help cover certain costs, such as stadium construction.
Other sticking points during negotiations include a rookie wage cap, a push by the owners to expand the season from 16 to 18 games, reducing the preseason schedule by two games. Also, benefits for retired players is at issue, including medical insurance coverage and players' league-backed 401k retirement funds.
Former NFL players whose career spanned four years or more, are have full access for them and their families to the league's medical coverage. Its 401k plan allowed players to put up to $15,000 each year into their retirement and the league would double whatever amount a player invested.
"I'm not looking at the negotiations the same as an active player," said Eddie Moore, the former South Pittsburg star who played linebacker at Tennessee and then with the Miami Dolphins and Denver Broncos and is now an assistant vice president and marketing leader at a bank in his hometown. "They're looking at it as a potential loss of job opportunities. My main concern are my medical benefits for me and my wife and daughter and my 401k. I'm not going to be making any more money from the league, so I want something to get done quickly so my medical benefits aren't interrupted.
"There are so many different people involved in this and we all want what's going to benefit us the most, of course. The owners, current players, and guys like me who are retired.
"I can see it from all sides because I work with business owners every day and I know the team owners are the ones putting up the most risk. But it's not like its Taco Bell and the owners can just go out and hire somebody else off the street to do the job of the players. Both sides are going to have to give a little to get things resolved."
Several former players from the Chattanooga area — Moore, Marion County's Eric Westmoreland and Howard's Terdell Sands — agreed that the medical insurance for retired players is their main concern because of their list of past injuries as well as the fact that their families are under the coverage umbrella.
For instance, Moore had 11 surgeries during a four-year playing career which ended in 2007 because of injuries, including six on his right knee and two on his left, and he said those injuries as well as others are now beginning to take a toll as his body gets older.
"The players made a lot of money but they made the owners even more," Westmoreland said. "And we were the ones who abused our bodies and now we all have problems from those days. The league should definitely make sure its former players are taken care of in that way.
"We all know this thing is going to get done. There's too much money on all sides to be lost for them not to. But right now, we're all just like the fans and everybody else. All we can do is wait and see how long it takes and hope for the best."

[The NFL is more popular than ever, highlighted by the fact the league reported a $9 billion profit last year...]
[The biggest sticking point all along has been how to divide the $9 billion revenue the league reported to have earned last year.]
I guess the NFL was able to get by with no expenses?? I'm thinking Mr. Hargis meant to say "revenue" in both instances.
The biggest mystery of all is how the NFL was able to set itself up as a non-profit. The franchises are for-profit, but the league itself is not.

IIHF statement on media report on Evgeni Malkin:
Although the International Ice Hockey Federation does not usually issue statements following unsubstantiated media reports, the IIHF finds it principally important to address the newspaper story (Toronto Star, June 20) that reports about the Russian league allegedly preparing an offer to Pittsburgh Penguin player Evgeni Malkin, who is under contract with the NHL-club.
"Although there will be no imminent Player Transfer Agreement between the IIHF and the NHL, all involved parties are in principal agreement to honour each other's contracts," says IIHF President René Fasel. "The NHL has informed the IIHF that this will be the policy of the league during the period without a PTA, and conversely, the IIHF has obligated its member national federations and leagues to do the same in its relations with the NHL."
"We would view any signing, from either side, of a player under a valid contract, who does not have any legally valid out-clause, to be a clear violation of the mutual understanding and existing principle. It would potentially be punishable with suspended national team eligibility and suspension from all competition or activity organized by the IIHF or any IIHF member national association. This would include events like the Olympic Winter Games, the IIHF World Championship or international club competitions like the Champions Hockey League."
"Given this, we are confident that the report is not substantiated."

Cowboys' Practice Gets Weird [VIDEO]
We know that football is highly competitive, and coaches will do just about anything to get an advantage over the other teams...but that leads to some pretty bizarre techniques.
We know that football is highly competitive, and coaches will do just about anything to get an advantage over the other teams...but that leads to some pretty bizarre techniques.
Well, there's at least one Dallas Cowboys quarterback who we can all agree to love.
Selena Gomez told Dallas, "It feels so good to be home!"
We bet it felt pretty good for them, too! The 'Stars Dance' singer took the stage at the Dallas Cowboys Thanksgiving halftime show to promote the controversial Salvation Army in their Red Kettle Campaign.
Mix 93-1 congratulates Toby Speck of Whitehouse on winning our seats to check out the Dallas Cowboys game as they take on the St. Louis Rams this Sunday at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington.
Mix 93-1 has a pair of season tickets to the Cowboys games this season and we want to put you in our seats for the Cowboys v. Rams game at Cowboys Stadium!
If you're a football fan, you know that the Houston Texans had a shot at the #1 seed in the playoffs, which would have given them a week off to rest and await their next opponent. But they lost to the Colts yesterday, and the cards fell in a way that drops them to the #3 seed, meaning they have to play this weekend.
And oh, those Cowboys...what happened this season. Cowboy fans are in a funk today, and taking back all the bragging they did this season on Facebook. The 'Boys are out of the playoffs after losing to the Redskins on Sunday night.
Wives sometimes complain that husbands sink into a terrible funk after a Dallas Cowboys loss. They don't talk much, they're grumpy, they snap and get sassy when asked a simple question.... Goodness. The Cowboys lose and it can take a family a day or two to get back to normal. May be a week, until the 'Boys can get on the field and win again.
Did you hear Cowboys owner Jerry Jones was locked out of the locker room after the loss in Atlanta Sunday night? The word is he didn't take the loss well. He was seen banging on the door, but he couldn't get in. Oh dear. Would you have the nerve to lock out the boss?
The Dallas Cowboys are probably the NFL franchise most associated with the sexy female form, thanks to their legendary cheerleaders. Now "America's Team" is encouraging its fans to take some of this sexiness home by opening the first Victoria's Secret store ever in a sports venue.
I'm the first one to agree you can't be defined by one event, or one circumstance, or one fleeting moment in time.
BUT! Anyone remember that bobbled snap in the 2006 playoff game that kicked us all in the gut? All Cowboy fans anyway.
Tony Romo was the holder for the field goal kicker back then. The Cowboys were about too win the Wild Card game at Seattle, all they needed was a field goal as time expired. It looked promising cuz it was such a short field goal, like 19 yards. A chip shot. Cowboys fans were already packing their bags for the next round of playoffs in Chicago. And then the snap.
In Steamboat, Colorado last Sunday, three people caused a commotion by riding their horses into local businesses. We've heard that cowboys and their horses are inseparable, but this is plain ridiculous.
Washington Redskins cornerback DeAngelo Hall said he'll aim for the cracked rib of Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo when the NFC East rivals play on Monday night, the Associated Press reports.
The Super Bowl hasn't always been so super. In fact, throughout the '80s and into the first half of the '90s many of the games were blowouts the likes of which are rarely seen during the regular season.
We've had better luck with Super Bowls lately, and this year's match-up between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Green Bay Packers is about as even as can be.
So maybe Sunday's game will end up being a classic. But for now we can count down the five best Super Bowls ever played.

The Cashew Nut
Chilled out family-run spot
What we say:
This very quiet, low-key place is run by a friendly family and offers clean, basic bungalows set amid tall trees that are good value for the money. It doesn't have the kind of funky atmosphere you'll get at the Laughing Gecko down the road, but the accommodation is more comfortable. Fan bungalows are made from concrete and brick, and while they're a bit worn, they are well-kept and sealed from the elements -- not that a gecko or two doesn't slip through the cracks. The air-con bungalows offer a lot more space along with TVs. Basic bathrooms are clean enough but they are on the musty side. The family in charge tends to leave guests alone unless they ask for something, but they're quick to help when you do ask and generally they seem dedicated to ensuring a comfortable stay. The resort has a small restaurant and the family can arrange onward transport.

Nothing but a number
Despite a series of flops, Hollywood had an incredibly successful summer at the box office. Many outlets are reporting it's mostly because of one movie, Gravity, the success of which rested on the shoulders of Sandra Bullock, who at 49, is older than your typical heroine. On TV, Nashville continues to be a ratings hit, and at the helm is Connie Britton, who is 46. Almost all of the women nominated for an Outstanding Actress Golden Globe are over 40 as well. Even Catching Fire, which has 23-year-old Jennifer Lawrence at the helm, was brought to the screen by a 48-year-old producer and 51-year-old author. It's great to see Hollywood slowly moving away from the pretty young thing mentality that dominated for so long. [Jezebel]

I sit in a row of Brit writers. I asked one at random what they thought about the Masters ability to flunk a different Sociology Exam every year __never technically "wrong," but always making themselves look ridiculous and petty.
My Brit, who's a vet, said: "I long ago came to the conclussion that Augusta National was a complete dung heap of prejudicial values. But they just happen to put on the best golf tournament on earth. So here I am again. Hardly the high moral ground."
They say these thi9ngs off the top of their heads and often without benefit of coffee. Quite remarkable. And they put up with my tendency to hum on deadline.

Autocar was impressed with the F10 M5 (no surprise there) and it shows in their review. We particularly like their verdict that the new M5 is a landmark car in many respects. Read on for the crucials details.
The first drive reviews of the F10 M5 have begun rolling in. Insideline has just posted their first impressions of BMW's newest M5. Their verdict? They call the F10 M5 a better overall sport sedan compared to the E60.
The more interesting comments are posted inside, but head over to Insideline for the full review.
Here's the very first look at a production Imperial Blue Metallic F10 M5 (although it could also possibly be Azurite Black Individual which is also a dark blue/black color). Imperial Blue Metallic has a beautiful metallic blue hue to it when illuminated and is the darker of the F10 M5 colors. This particular 2012 M5 joined ///M Flight, an M owner's club in Germany, this past weekend. Club members were given rides in the new monster 560hp M5 and got up to 187mph … CONTINUED
Well, this looks like fun. We've reported about the six lucky guys who were invited to the F10 M5 Fly and Drive event earlier this month (one of them was 5POST member benz61). M-Power.com has just published a new video starring the new M5, Claudia Huertgen, a German race car driver, and some happy passengers. This video includes some nice drifts and thus obviously doesn't reflect the fastest possible time for the car.
Enjoy the new M5 during a fun lap on the Nurburgring. Also remember that … CONTINUED
We've posted the best sound/video clip and photos yet of the F10 M5 safety car, showing off its M5 Akrapovic exhaust standing still and at launch. Videos and photos are courtesy of 5POST member Bmill, who was one of the lucky VIP in attendance at the BMW M Experience at the Indy MotoGP this past weekend.
Our coverage of M cars from this weekend's BMW M Experience at the Indianapolis MotoGP continues with the first exhaust clips of the F10 M5 safety car showing off its badass Akropovic exhaust system, the production F10 M5, and some more 1M safety car pics.
The videos below were taken during the M5 safety car's police escorted drive from the race track to downtown Indianapolis, where it was shown off to BMW M Experience VIPs and passerbys.
We've updated with even more photos of the F10 M5 safety car, official safety car of the MotoGP, which is making its debut this weekend to M VIP at the Indianapolis MotoGP race.
The new photos feature the M5 safety car posing on the race track, as well as some pics from the police escort it received from the track to downtown Indianapolis. It drew quite a crowd in front of the hotel as you can see!
The Indianapolis MotoGP race takes places this weekend and BMW is putting on a BMW M Experience for a lucky group of 50 M enthusiasts who have signed up for the event, which starts today and ends Sunday.
Besides the special access to the MotoGP race and paddocks, BMW will be providing these enthusiasts with hot laps in M safety cars driven by M school instructors, as well as a personal presentation of the F10 M5 sedan by M executives. They will also get the world's first … CONTINUED
Here's the full feature video we've anxiously been waiting for since yesterday: The BMW M5 Green Hell Drive and Fly event. M-Power.com invited six lucky BMW M enthusiasts to drive and experience the all-new BMW M5 on the Ring earlier this month. This video captured their experience.
We've also added some photos showing the making of this video. Enjoy!
As we reported earlier, M-Power.com offered a unique chance to drive the all-new 2012 BMW M5 before its market launch. This event took place earlier this month on the Nürburgring and six happy enthusiasts from all over the world were invited.
Enjoy this trailer and stay tuned for the full video coming tomorrow, August 25th.
The German F10 M5 configurator has gone online — at BMW Germany's website. F10 M5 intent owners and tire kickers can now see the different M5 configurations available (at least for Germany).
The Configurator can be found at http://www.bmw.de/de/de/general/conf…figurator.html
The BMW.com M5 visualizer has also been available since June.
The F10 M5 starts at 102,700 euros in Germany (equivalent of 148,129 USD). For comparison, the last price for the E60 M5 (Sep 2010) was EUR 94,700 which means a price increase of roughly 8.5%. Applying the same … CONTINUED
This is perhaps the best sounding clip we've heard yet of the 2012 F10 M5. Many people have lamented the loss of the iconic naturally aspirated V10 of the previous generation M5 and one of the reasons is the expectation that the bi-turbo V8 won't sound nearly as good. This exhaust clip may go far in convincing some people otherwise however. F10 M5 exhaust video clip inside.

The program is designed as a 36-credit, 12-course curriculum that can be completed in one to three years depending on the course load taken by the student. The courses will be offered in four 12-week semesters per year. Eight courses are required as outlined in the core section; with 4 electives that you choose from among the course offerings.
The DMM Program is delivered in 2 ways:
- Students can study from your home country in a primarily online education program. Make sure you have a good computer access (with a microphone) as well as access to library materials for research. You will participate in online classes and are required to attend the 6.5 day on-campus conference week during the summer session you are enrolled in DMM 635 and DMM 639. You can choose how many classes to enroll in a term depending on work and family responsibilities.
- Students can come to the campus to study in a fulltime hybrid on-campus program - this method allows you to complete the program by registering for classes that combine in-person, classroom seminars and activities with supportive material in the Blackboard learning management system. You will participate in specific in-person seminars with faculty while engaging in a spirited dialogue with your classmates from other parts of the country and world. Using the University resources and our academic partners, we have designed the hybrid course sections with opportunities to explore and discuss pertinent topics during each term.
Students enrolled in the on-campus method will also attend the 6.5 day on-campus conference week during the summer session they are enrolled in DMM 635 and DMM 639. The design of the hybrid on-campus model fulfills the U.S. Federal Government fulltime status requirements for F1 student visas.
Both options include a variety of teaching modalities such as on-line PowerPoint© lectures with audio, asynchronous discussion boards, synchronous chat rooms, reading assignments, research papers, on-line journals and on-line testing.
Please note: 2 core courses - DMM-635 and DMM-639 - require both online and on-campus participation during a summer session. All students are required to attend one 6.5-day, on-campus, summer seminar that will include live lectures, hands-on skills labs, role-playing seminars, disaster drills and a table-top exercise. This summer seminar is a mandatory component of two of the required courses (DMM-635 and DMM-639).
All students will also be required to complete a capstone experience that has several options, but a formal thesis is not required. The program can arrange for students to participate in an internship at a site that provides emergency and disaster planning and preparedness in the United States and internationally.
Sample Course Sequence DMM program
Since students have the option to take from 1 -3 courses per term this is presented as a sample schedule. Students are required to complete a course plan based upon the course schedule provided, taking into consideration the terms elective courses are offered.

text: On December 17, 1999, at 1500 eastern standard time, a Mooney 20J, N43TP, was substantially damage during a forced landing near New Milford, Connecticut. The certificated commercial pilot was not injured, and visual meteorological conditions prevailed for the personal local flight. The flight originated from Danbury, Connecticut, no flight plan was filed, and the flight was conducted under 14 CFR Part 91.According to the pilot, on September 26, 1999, the airplane experienced a propeller strike, and the engine was sent to the manufacturer for a teardown inspection in accordance with a mandatory service bulletin.On the day of the accident, the pilot arrived at Danbury to see if the airplane was ready to be flown after having the original engine re-installed. In addition, a new 3 bladed propeller was scheduled to be installed, replacing the original 2 bladed one. The pilot found that the installation had been completed, and that the engine was successfully run for 0.4 hours without producing any leaks or anomalies. The pilot excepted the airplane, and conducted an "extensive" preflight inspection before starting the engine, and taxiing to runway 26. A run-up check per the checklist was completed, and no abnormalities were identified. The pilot did think the engine sounded different, but contributed it to the fact that the original 2 bladed propeller had been replaced.With the run-up checks completed, the pilot radioed the tower. The pilot then taxied onto the runway and departed. The takeoff was uneventful, and the pilot executed closed traffic to a touch-and-go. On climbout, he requested a right turn to depart the traffic pattern to do some airwork north of the field. After reaching 3,000 feet msl, the pilot configured the airplane for cruise flight. He set the manifold pressure to 25 inches of mercury and the engine rpm to 2,500. After keeping the airplane in this configuration for about 10 minutes, the pilot proceeded back towards Danbury. En route, he decided to practice turns and slow flight, as well as an approach to landing stall to see if the new propeller made any performance differences. All three maneuvers were completed without any "problems or changes in the running of the engine."After being airborne for approximately 25 minutes, and while in cruise flight at 3,000 feet msl, the pilot heard a loud "bang," and white smoke immediately filled the cockpit. After the bang, "the engine began to run rough and shake the plane." Because of smoke in the cockpit, the pilot opened the vent window and the air vents in the overhead. He declared an emergency. In addition, he advised Danbury Tower that his engine was running rough, and of smoke in the cockpit. Then, a second bang was heard by the pilot and the engine stopped. The pilot attempted a restart, which resulted in no movement in the engine, or propeller.Familiar with the local area, the pilot knew he could not make it to an airport, so he decided to land in one of several playing fields located behind a high school currently under construction. The pilot lowered the landing gear and selected flaps to half. As the airplane approached the first field, the pilot realized it was going to fast to land so he setup for the second field. Still fast, the airplane did not touchdown until "near" the end of the field. The pilot then identified a ditch with a dirt bank next to it. He attempted to fly over the bank and land in a vacant cornfield. The main landing gear contacted the bank, shearing it off. The airplane continued on its belly for approximately 50 yards before coming to rest upright. The pilot secured both the electrical system and the fuel systems before egressing without injury.On January 25, 2000, the engine was examined at Mattituck Aviation, Mattituck, New York. The crankshaft nose seal was partially dislodged. In addition, the crankcase was cracked, and had several holes in it. Through one of the holes, the base of a connecting rod was protruding. The crankcase was opened, and the crankshaft examined. The number 1 connecting rod was still attached. The number 2, 3, and 4 connecting rods had separated from the crankshaft. Damage to the connecting rod bearings was consistent with insufficient lubrication and high temperatures.The engine accessory section was intact and free of damage. The engine driven oil pump rotated freely. The pump was disassembled. No pre-impact failures were identified. Examination of the oil sump revealed pieces of metal. In addition, 70 percent of the oil suction screen was filled with metal fragments. The intake side of the oil filter had metal fragments on its surface. After the oil filter, no contaminants were found. The crankcase oil journals were free of debris, along with the crankshaft and connecting rod journals.

BRIGHTON, Mich. (AP) - Police shut down part of a freeway in southeastern Michigan on Monday as they investigated possible gunfire in the area where there's been a couple of dozen shootings in recent weeks.
Authorities have not confirmed whether a shooting took place but state police Sgt. Chris Pascoe told The Associated Press that officers are at the scene near the intersection of U.S. 23 and Interstate 96 near Brighton.
No injuries have been reported.
Police say two weekend shootings - including one that injured a motorist - are linked to the spree of at least 24 reports of gunfire near Interstate 96.
Scott Arnold, 46, told the Detroit Free Press that someone fired into his car door as he was driving to the World Series in Detroit on Saturday. He said the bullet just missed one of his arteries and some major nerves. He was released from the hospital Sunday.
"It was pure luck. ... I feel very, very fortunate, and my kids do, too," said Arnold, who lives in Delton, near Kalamazoo. Doctors didn't remove the bullet, which he said struck him in the buttocks.
Authorities have released a sketch of a suspect in all the shootings. Authorities said the gunman appears to be a man in his 30s. Police said Friday that tests on bullet fragments and casings determined that the same firearm was used in every shooting up to that point.
But the wounding of Arnold has ramped up the police investigation.
"When you shoot at somebody, your intention is to kill them. That's plain and simple," Livingston County Sheriff Bob Bezotte. "His intention is pretty clear to me: He's out there trying to kill people."
No one else was in Arnold's car when he was shot. He said heard a loud explosion that he thought was a tire blowout and then felt a pain in his side. He stopped and saw a bullet hole in the vehicle and blood.
"The bullet is lodged too deeply," said Arnold, who watched the Detroit Tigers play the San Francisco Giants on a hospital room TV. "I'm going to keep the bullet for the rest of my life."
Two occupants of another car were not hurt when they came under fire earlier Saturday, the Livingston County sheriff's department said. Police increased patrols along the roadway on Sunday.
Most of the shootings have happened near Interstate 96. Authorities said one shooting occurred while a man was taking out his trash. In another incident, a woman said her car's rear window was shattered. Ten of the shootings have been in Wixom in Oakland County.
Saturday's shootings were the first since Oct. 18.
