It's the xenophobia that comes along with the Canadian media. They have to always put down European players so Canada is always #1 in hockey.
A lot of players half ass when teams are not good enough, even good ole Jarome Iginla.
It's just that Ovechkin is the evil Russian. He is punished for daring to go toe to toe with Canada's golden boy Crosby. The irony of it all is they squeezed every last $ out of Ovechkin. They loved marketing and making all that revenue off him.
Now they don't need him because Canada rules.
That is crap about JI and Nash, never did they play as lazy as Fovie. If they did, thy would have been benched. Would Hitchcock or Sutter allow that?

I have been quiet for some time now on this blog. Writers block always comes at the most unexpected times. And I have certainly felt quite blocked in terms of any sort of writing. Whether it's my book, this blog or my journal, the empty pages stare back at me when I try to empty my head of the many thoughts that is filling my brain.
For the past 2 years, Andrew and I have been trying to conceive #2. I had a third micarriage in late May of this year and after that we went for help with the doctor that helped me carry Drew to term.
While trying to conceive Drew, we were getting pregnant but experiencing miscarriages. This time, things were different. We weren't getting pregnant. Until that May. But it turned out I was "barely pregnant" and miscarried days after finding out.
Over the past half a year, I have tried pills (Clomid) for a few cycles along with an IUI – Intra Uterine Insemination. They take your husband's sperm and place it with a catheter directly through your cervix and into your uterus. I've injected myself with Follistim to create more follicles and therefore more of a chance to get pregnant. I've injected myself with drugs to stop me from ovulating so the follicles can get to be the perfect size and I've even injected myself with other drugs to help me release all the follicles at once.
I've done about 10 IUI's.
And I am not pregnant.
This month, I experienced such discomfort, fevers and pain in my uterus when sitting, walking or doing anything that when I saw my doctor for our second IUI of this month, he had to abort that plan and treat a raging bacterial infection.
I don't know why my body is failing me and hearing my doctor tell me that on paper, there is no reason why I'm not pregnant really doesn't help.
We don't want to go into debt to have a second baby and therefore IVF is out of the question. But there's an emptiness there. A sadness and disappointment that I can't give my husband another baby. An anger that everything I do in life is met with hardship and strife and nothing I ever get comes easy. I have to fight for everything.
And usually, I'm determined. But my body is tired. And my heart is broken. I'm empty. And uninspired. I'm angry at God. At my body. I don't understand and I can't go through another month with black and blues all over my stomach. I would rather put my money, my time and my attention to my son.
So it looks like having a second baby is something I'll never have. And I have to admit, it's going to take me some time to accept this. I'm not great at giving up. I'm not wonderful at accepting defeat. I'm a sore loser and this defeat will sting.
One day, I hope to know why God chose this path for me. This amount of disappointment and sadness. But I won't appease him now by saying that I understand. I don't. But maybe, one day I will.
I'm going to move forward and focus on the love of my life – my son, my husband and love fully, live happy and find contentment somewhere. I'm lucky that I have Drew. I know better than anyone how many women have to give up without ever conceiving a child of their own and I have that.
I guess it was selfish to want more.

Egypt: Prominent activists charged over protest
CAIRO Twelve of Egypt's best known bloggers and activists are headed for trial on charges of instigating violence during a March demonstration against the president's Muslim Brotherhood, Egypt's state prosecutor announced Wednesday.
This was the latest measure by President Mohammed Morsi's government against dissenters, moves that have drawn criticism from human rights groups and foreign governments, including the U.S.
It coincided with an angry protest by writers, artists and intellectuals who stormed the office of the culture minister, chanting, "I am not an infidel, I am an artist. I reject the rule of the Muslim Brotherhood." They vowed not to leave until the minister steps down.
Critics charge that steps taken by the new minister, Alaa Abdel-Aziz, are an attempt to consolidate the Brotherhood's control over the ministry. The minister, who supports the Brotherhood, has fired several senior officials at the ministry.
The referral to trial of the 12 activists and bloggers is seen by critics as part of the government's tactics to stifle dissent ahead of planned mass protests on June 30, calling for Morsi's ouster on the anniversary of his taking office.
The president accuses the opposition of stirring up unrest to undermine his authority, charging loyalists of ousted President Hosni Mubarak with seeking to derail the country's shift to democracy.
The charges against the activists come from a March 22 fight between Morsi's supporters and opponents outside the Brotherhood's headquarters atop Cairo's Muqattam cliff. More than 200 people were injured.
MENA, the state news agency, quoted Prosecutor General Talaat Abdullah, a Morsi appointee, as saying the 12 included Alaa Abdel-Fattah, Nawara Negm, Ahmed Douma, and Karim el-Shaer, well-known youth leaders who helped spearhead the 2011 uprising against Mubarak. On Monday, Douma received a six-month suspended sentence for insulting the president.
Abdullah did not refer any Brotherhood supporters to trial.
In another sign of the turmoil that continues to roil Egypt two years after the ouster of Mubarak, workers at the largest terminal at Cairo International Airport blocked airplanes on the tarmac and disrupted flights. The Minister of Civil Aviation fired 15 of the strike leaders and suspended 30 others for endangering the lives of passengers. The strike ended after three hours of negotiations. The striking workers were demanding bonuses and dismissal of corrupt officials.
The protests sweeping the country over power outages, fuel and water shortages and perceived changes to Egypt's identity by the Brotherhood, reflect Egypt's deep polarization and worsening economic conditions under Morsi, the country's first freely elected leader.
The March 22 clashes came during spike in political violence in Egypt. Islamists say that the opposition is unable to beat them at the ballot box and has been trying to undercut them through street protests, wrecking the country's stability. In a speech following that demonstration, a visibly angry Morsi shouted and pounded the table, warning his opponents he was on the verge of taking unspecified measures to protect the nation.
Activists respond that Brotherhood street protesters have been responsible for many of the violent incidents, but were never charged. The March clashes were set off by a videotaped incident in which a Muslim Brotherhood member slapped a woman to the ground and others roughed up activists who were spray-painting anti-Brotherhood graffiti. Brotherhood officials accused the protesters of attacking the group's office and said its members were defending the building.

ebaY 'FRAUD' BOY HELD; Teen arrested over internet scam.
A HUDDERSFIELD teenager has been arrested on suspicion of duping people on eBay.
The 17-year-old is understood to have been detained over allegations of a large fridge and other high value items such as a cooker being offered for sale on the international website where people buy and sell new and used items.
He was detained on suspicion of internet fraud A crime in which the perpetrator develops a scheme using one or more elements of the Internet to deprive a person of property or any interest, estate, or right by a false representation of a matter of fact, whether by providing misleading information or by concealment of by officers from Huddersfield North Neighbourhood policing team after they raided a Fartown house.
They acted after receiving complaints from buyers. The teenager has now been bailed pending further inquiries. Sgt Adrian Waugh from Huddersfield North Neighbourhood policing team said: "There are a number of steps people can take to avoid falling victim to fraud and I would urge purchasers to use their common sense before making transactions.
"Most auction sites offer advice as well as secure payment facilities. Buyers should not carry out any transactions which they would not feel comfortable aboutmaking off the internet. Verify the trustworthiness of the seller before sending cash, cheques or wire transfers to them.
"Beware of sellers who don't have reliable contact details or who don't respond directly to questions."
eBay states that fewer than .01% of all transactions result in a confirmed case of fraud and has a special section about how to buy on its website under a part called Safety Section.

The company officially changed the name of its service from AuctionWeb to eBay in September 1997. Originally, the site belonged to Echo Bay Technology Group, Omidyar's consulting firm.
Omidyar had tried to register the domain name echobay.com - the domain has recently been put up for sale - but found it already taken by the Echo Bay Mines, a gold mining company, so he shortened it toheBay.com.
eBay went public on September 21, 1998, and Omidyar became a billionaire.

Geographic Information System (GIS) has created a large field of opportunity for the development of new approaches to computer processing of spatial or geographically referenced data, hence adding a new dimension to the management, analysis, and presentation of the large volumes of information required in the decision making processes. A GIS is proposed to be used for automation and analysis of data in the management of forest resources at Hutan Simpan Ayer Hitam, Puchong, Selangor. In addition to basic attribute and spatial query operations in the GIS, spatial modeling and surface analysis methods should also be used to assist forest planning and management at Ayer Hitam.

Films are being produced and deceased. Sometimes brands stop to exist, that have produced these films. And sometimes even countries vanish in which films have been produced. In Germany we know something about it. So there I a certain melancholy surrounding ORWO-films of VEB Filmfabrik Wolfen of the faded late GDR. They had the monopoly on film-production in East Germany. There was no market, but still the people had to put something in their cameras. But basically it came down for the main market to have one or two colour print films, one or two black wand white print and one or two Slide films. I am sure as photographers you had your way to get to other material but for the ordinary consumer choice wasn't really king. Before the second world the film factory was part of the AGFA universe. But with the end of the world a little economic thriller took place. First the Americans swept the factory and took many of the patents and archives to bring to their homeland. Later Kodak used one of the emulsions of AGFA, which was found there. After the seperation of East and West the soviets came around the corner, took the remaining machines, knowledge, engineers and sent them to Russia to reassemble it there. But that wasn't too successful. And finally in 1953 the first own filmproduction of the GDR started. Bitterfeld then turned out to be the Shenzhen City of East Germany with a lot of chemical productions and always with polution and pumping chimneys. ORWO certainly was next to BASF one of the big waste-producers of all of Germany. So you certainly ought not to lick that little film like a sweet candy. By the way, there is a fine article on Wikipedia, if you want to know about the history of ORWO. I got hold on to a load of the colour print film ORWO Color QRS 100. The expiration date is 1996, therefore I think the production must have been in the beginning of the nineties. I reckon it will be the first and last production of ORWO in the reunified Germany. But it is most likely, that it is just a repackaging of East German films. In 1994 the Factory had to close, so this load of film survived it's own company. There is a predecessor of ORWO now called Orwonet AG, still based in Bitterfeld of East Germany. And it is quite a success, they are dealing with photofinishing and own some IT-Photo-Companies. Funny enough the sparkle of a dead brand of a dead country is still shining today. This is a good bridge to my experience with this film: As far as I know are the emulsion of ORWO not too stable, compared to other brands. It was not to be expected, that the colours of this film turn out accurate 15 years above the expiration date. It was no surprise that it's colours were crazy. It is changing from blue to purple and relatively grainy. The picture tends to be a bit darker also. And to put it with Mandis words: "Just imagine there is this guy with a bucket full of purple colour. And this guy is pouring it all over your picture!" I am very happy. Aside to the lomography redscale I have a real purplescale film!This photo was shot on film. Taken by wil6ka with a Lomo LC-A+ (available in our Online Shop) loaded with ORWO color QRS 100 film in Hirschfeld, Germany.

Checkpoint Systems, Inc. Announces Fourth Quarter And Full-Year 2012 Results
GAAP restructuring expenses in the fourth quarter were $1.3 million, of which $0.4 million is attributable to non-cash asset impairments. To date, the Expanded Global Restructuring Plan, has recorded $66.0 million in expenses, including $44.8 million in severance and other employee-related charges, $6.8 million in other non-employee related restructuring costs as well as $14.3 million in non-cash asset impairments associated with facilities rationalization and closures. To-date, cumulative headcount reductions from the Expanded Global Restructuring Plan total 1,850 of the approximately 2,400 employees expected to be affected by the plan.
Working Capital, Free Cash Flow and Debt Covenants
Operating income coupled with the impact of working capital initiatives introduced in the second quarter of 2012 generated $39.0 million in free cash flow in the fourth quarter and $49.8 million for the full year. Fourth quarter cash flow was enhanced by the receipt of a $4.7 million insurance settlement against fraudulent activity in Checkpoint's Canadian operations discovered in December 2011. This, plus $3.4 million in proceeds from the sale of non-strategic operations including our Suzhou, China subsidiary and the Banking Security Systems Integration business unit more than offset the $7.2 million in fourth quarter cash expenditures for restructuring, resulting in a cash balance of $118.8 million at year end.
Ray Andrews, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer noted, "Fourth quarter operating results and tight cash and working capital management enabled us to complete the quarter well within the Company's amended debt covenant ratios while not increasing debt. Our focus on improving inventory, accounts receivable and accounts payable resulted in a net improvement in cash flow of $34.6 million since June 2012. This is excellent progress toward our goal of a $50 million to $60 million improvement by June 2013."Remediation of Material Weakness Mr. Andrews noted, "As of December 25, 2011, Company management concluded that we did not maintain effective controls to prevent or detect management override of controls at foreign subsidiaries that were not integrated into our shared service environments in the United States and Europe. The Company's actions during 2012 to implement a program to enhance the annual risk assessment process and treasury controls as well as increase the frequency and scope of detailed reviews of financial transactions and reconciliations at all of our subsidiaries remediated and cured the material weakness."

Dan Radcliffe Speaks About Returning to the Stage
I am sure you all know that The Misanthrope is about to open in the West End, starring Damian Lewis and marking the stage debut of Keira Knightley.
Gosh, I love living in London.
Anyway, the production is directed by our very favourite stage director, one Thea Sharrock (who has some lovely things to say about ms Knightley in The Times), one of whose previous leading actors has some nice things to say about her, in her turn…
Radcliffe, currently filming the last instalment of the Harry Potter films, is godfather to one of Sharrock's children. When I catch him by phone on set, he says that he "can't speak highly enough of her. She is amazing. She's this 21st-century woman who can direct four things at once and brilliantly mother two children at the same time. I don't know that anybody else could have got me to the place she did with Equus, because it was nerve-racking. But if what you're doing is crap, Thea will absolutely tell you, so when she gives you a compliment it feels amazing because you know it's true. She's got an incredible way about her in rehearsals. If Keira Knightley's terrified, she's right to be. But the experience has totally changed me as an actor, and I can't wait to get back to the stage."

This instructable will show :
1- How to mix and color Oogoo
2- How to cast it or hand form it into different shapes.
3- How to make silicone paint
4- Several interesting uses for Gorilla tape and Gorilla Glue, see steps 3, 7, 12 and 15.
5- How to make a few projects using Sugru and a comparison of Oogoo and Sugru
Since I am mainly interested in using Oogoo to embed electronic circuits in flexible forms, this instructable will also show you how to:
1- Make a soft circuit LED pumpkin head robot display that can be embedded on to clothing.
2- Make cleanly etched conductive fabric circuits
3- Make conductive glue using Gorilla glue.
4- Embed circuits in Oogoo or Sugru
The intro pic shows a few of the silicone shapes that I made using Oogoo and a funky, smirky, flexible pumpkin head robot LED display.
Excellent Instructable. Many many possibilities- Nice Work!
Batik dye is water soluble and makes really incredible colors in corn starch paint (dye and water and cornstarch). I haven't yet tried this incredible instructable although I plan to tomorrow when I can purchase some silicone caulk-- but I wanted to offer this alternative to oil paints for coloring oogoo, in case it would work better. Thanks so much for these very clear instructions. Very exciting and a terrific idea!
Thank you for the instructuble. When you say "metals that melt at low temperatures can be cast", what is the highest temperature you think it could handle?
I have only tried it with bismuth which melts at about 520 degrees F.
Metal alloys that melt at that temperature or less should work with Oogoo.
If your are an adventurous experimenter, you could try adding fine sand or red iron oxide to increase the temperature of metal castable Oogoo.
Cool project. Thanks for sharing
Hi, i see this is a old post so hope someone is still out there. Mixed oil paint with cheap white silicon but it seem to not be drying/curing? Any ideas what is going wrong here?
Try using a paint that is not oil based, I think the oil is the problem.
I am so going to try this
I am so going to try this
Thanks for a great Instructable. I used Oogoo to anchor a car mount for my tablet. Here's my I'ble for the project...
Nose piece on my glasses broke. Fixed them with oogoo. Thanks!
Can anyone tell me what the library life is for this stuff if I make a mold for some parts I want to cast?
I was going to cast up some tyre cores // fills from this, but by the time I bought the right volumes of silicone sealant, the price of the bouncy filled rubber trolley tyres was the same.....
Comments suggest adding naphtha for a more fluid version. Which brings me to another question: What do you mean, when you write naphtha? It's quite a loose term. Is it white spirit? Petroleum? Turpentine?
Naptha..... it's the next series of hydrocarbon chains, down the series from ether.
.Without getting into overly complex crude oil refinery issues and chemistry and fuels etc...
Naptha - in the domestic sense, is usually called Shellite, lighter fluid, camping stove fuel, white spirit, etc.
As it's boiling point (Shellite) is around 39*C, it is fine to use, but it evaporates very quickly and turns into vapour, making it very hard to put out, once lit.
And the vapor will travel along the floor to sources of ignition and into places to concentrate - like basements and pits...
This explains the issue better...
But just go by white spirits, camping stove fuel etc. Or if worse comes to worse, acetone - which should work, or general purpose paint thinners...
Thanks, I used this to make my radio earpiece fleshy. It isn't durable, maybe since it takes a lot of abuse in my bag and while being worn, or maybe because I mixed eyeshadow with the cornstarch to get the color.
I want to tell you that oogoo is great, but i find it difficult to add the right amount of corn stack, in order to have a non-sticky mix. An easy alternative is to mix the silicon directly in soppy-water, after 30 sec if you have water on your hands the silicon is not sticky. Check out this alternative, I try it an is amazing:
Has anyone been playing with the "self-healing" properties of silicone and what one might use as a catalyst?
I've got a project where I need to fit a tube through a stopper (not necessarily air tight). I'm thinking of using Oogoo to make the stopper since the glass is an odd shape and drilling a 3/4" hole through its center.
It's not ooogoo, it's silicone rubber that has been through reacted in the whole block at once, instead of layer reacted, through the surface.
It's a better idea to make some up and then go use it ans see how it works, and then make your own mind up.
A better way is to cast the hole in the Oogoo as you cast the stopper and use a 3/4 inch metal or plastic tube to create the hole. You can then remove it and replace it with a more permanent tube.
To drill a hole in rubber, get a piece of metal tubing the right size. Brass will do for Oogoo. Chuck a maneageable length in your drill, and if you can, slip a piece of something that just fits in the part that is chucked to prevent crushing. run a file or use a sandpaper or a sander to put a chamfer on the end to form a cutting edge( run the drill, hold tubing against file/sandpaper as it rotates), then cut a plug out of the rubber. the hole should be roughly the inner diameter of the tubing.
Bingo. I put holes in rubber stoppers using that exact method.
Great Idea. There is however one major flaw that you keep pointing out with out knowing it.....the Acetic Acid. This is a killer for any electronic circuit and should not be used on any thing important. I can speak with authority on this as I encapsulate electronic circuits for a living. A client who started using our services had makes animal tracking tags that they had sealed with the silicone you are using, within 2 weeks every one of the 800 tags had failed! On opening them the circuits where green and corroded, a very expensive mistake on their behalf. We use silicone but it must be the natural cure type, this may be the GE silicone you referred to in your article I am not sure as we do not have that brand in Australia, and therefor may not work with the corn starch.
The silicone to use for electronic circuits is Dow Corning 744. It is a neutral cure RTV. It is available from Element 14 in Australia (part#1922181). It cures in the presence of moisture (humidity). I'm not sure the cornstarch trick will make it cure faster. Maybe water? But then you don't really want to get electronic ccts wet.
If you use full strength silicone caulk, if it is thick enough, it will take days to set up and the acetic acid can corrode copper circuit boards in that time.
That is not what I have suggested.
Oogoo sets up much faster and in twenty four hours most of the acetic acid has dissipated. In a thin application, (.12 inches or less) the amount of corrosion on copper or solder or tin is minute and will not effect the circuit in a significant way.
Also, you can also spray paint the circuit board with spray paint lacquer before encapsulation and the protection against corrosion will be close to 100 per cent.
Hey Mikey.... you are a genius! Thanks for posting this well written instructable. Have you or anyone else found any resource for larger than tube quantities of 100% silicone caulk? I have some bigger projects that could use a gallon at a time... or or a five gallon bucket that can be resealed could work if it can maintain a shelf life after opening.
This stuff is really easy to make. I got the material from Big Box Home improvement store and it's sister store Wally world and tried it. apparently not real critical on the amount of goo to starch I made up two batches and just put in a bunch of each and it just worked. Once you start stirring the acetic acid will become intense almost instantly. However after about 2 minutes it becomes almost no smell at all. You really have to try and smell it to tell it stinks. After a couple of hours there is no smell at all.
Well done Mikey77. Very useful ible. my picture was required but all I did was press it into a small plastic mixing cut to test the hardnest and see what is was like once cured. Sorry for the bad pic.
Excellent guide! I was about to buy some Sugru, then I saw your guide. You say oogoo is a more rubbery (less firm) output then Sugru? I'm looking into using it for a motor vibration damper, so it seems that oogoo is the best choice for absorbing it.
However, does it have the bonding ability like Sugru?
If I roll the oogoo out like cookie dough, does it get to a point where it can be cut like cookie dough before it sets up more firmly?
Also, does it get solid enough while still curing so a sheet that's perhaps 1/8th inch thick be rolled out, then picked up and attached upright to an oogoo base made at the same time if I use cardboard or something to help support the upright part? And will the edges join together to make a strong solid piece?
just noting that for anyone who doesn't know, what the Americans call "cornstarch" the British and Aussies call "cornflour" - same stuff.
WOW! Home made Oogoo, or home made "sugru. That is cool. If I were in my grungy old apartment with my old furniture, I am sure I would've done it for real. I am in a fancy house with the house furniture, so I can't justify doing this.But, yes, if you are adventurous, guys, go for it. I love this kind of stuff, it makes me feel less dependent on stores and shops if I were to try it and not have to $hell out $ for the regular sugru.
The chain mail casting was done with black Lepage's Polyurethane caulk. The inside of the mold was dusted with fine metallic powder, then rubbed off the high spots to give the black background.
The golf balls were slush cast Smooth-on 2 part polyurethane resin. The mother mold (stiff exterior) was made with cotton wipers impegnated with the resin.
I've seriously tried sex lube. Not the water based, but the silicone oil which is primarilly siloxane oil. It can make the silicone sticky like an airsoft gel target, but iirc, that was 1:1:1 ratio. Maybe if you use more. the only problem I see is that the cure time increases with more lube. The brand I found is Mood, but there are others.
