THE party line inside Easter Road is very much that Leeann Dempster led the way in making the decision to relieve Terry Butcher of his duties as manager.
No question about it. You shouldn't pin this one on Rod Petrie.
Unfortunately for those entrusted with relaying "the message" from above at Hibernian, the noise being created outside is certainly proving a diversion and, some might say, threatening to drown them out.
Loading article content
As Dempster, the club's new chief executive, held talks with supporters' representatives inside the stadium on Saturday, she no doubt heard the commotion directly outside the front door as an estimated 1500 supporters gathered to hear speeches from the likes of Pat Stanton and Jackie McNamara at a rally intended to force Petrie, her chairman, out of the club.
She had just finished addressing a press conference to explain Butcher's removal last night when Paul Kane, the figurehead of the well-orchestrated "Petrie Out" campaign which is gathering steam in the capital, put forth his own appraisal of the day's developments.
Suffice to say, it didn't quite tally with the official version of events.
Kane, who also set up the former players' association at the Leith club and made almost 300 appearances in green-and-white, believes Butcher must go down as the 11th permanent manager to suffer at the hands of Petrie during an increasingly turbulent 17-year spell and suspects the final decision was only delayed to allow Dempster to get in the door from Motherwell and don the executioner's hood.
He intimated that disgruntled supporters are finding it hard to accept that Petrie, still in a position of influence at Easter Road, is loosening his grip on the reins wilfully and believes the nature of the latest manager's departure has reinforced the feeling that radical change from the top down is the only way forward for a club still coming to terms with relegation from the top division.
Indeed, Kane points out that making Butcher wait for 16 days following the play-off defeat by Hamilton Academical to discover his fate has left Hibs in an unnecessarily vulnerable position.
"I think what has happened here has made our campaign even stronger," said the 48-year-old, who owns the Four In Hand pub just a short stagger from the stadium. "Don't kid yourself that this has been done under Leeann Dempster's watch. It was Rod Petrie's watch.
"I think it has been delayed to allow her to give him the dunt. It looks like an attempt to dilute the situation and my own view is that Rod Petrie has been put before the club again. If Petrie says he is taking a hands-off role he shouldn't have been anywhere near this.
"The thing is, if they had it in mind to sack Terry Butcher, it should have been done a couple of days after the end of the season. They have now wasted two-and-a-half weeks that could have been used to find a new manager and start sourcing new players. They are now going to be scrambling about before pre-season as other teams are already signing people."
Certainly, those days spent making hay on homegrown players such as Steven Fletcher, Scott Brown and Steven Whittaker, and building the club's new training centre are now providing little succour for Hibs' supporters.
Since John Collins walked away from the manager's job after winning the Scottish League Cup in 2007, the Edinburgh side have been on the slide under Colin Calderwood, Pat Fenlon and Butcher, whose contract was due to run until 2016.
Kane dreads to think how much money has been squandered on compensation packages and points out that Hibs turned down a reported £300,000 offer from Birmingham City for Calderwood just a matter of months before ushering him out of the door.
"How much has it cost to pay off all those managers, along with their coaching teams and the players they haven't fancied?" he asked. "It must be fortunes. We were actually offered money for Calderwood and didn't take it before paying him off.
"The same goes for most of the other managers. John Collins walked out without taking money, but that was because they wouldn't give him finance to reinvest in the team despite bringing millions in."
Those behind the "Petrie Out" campaign are pushing for a meeting with Hibs' owner Sir Tom Farmer and the group has received lengthy correspondence by email from the Leith-raised tycoon which they intend to respond to shortly. "We will provide an answer to that within the next couple of days," Kane added.

Ban on India cricketer Azharuddin overturned
A court in India has overturned a life ban imposed on former India cricket captain Mohammad Azharuddin by the country's cricket authorities.
Azharuddin, 49, had been banned from playing all forms of cricket in 2000 following allegations of match fixing.
The high court in Andhra Pradesh ruled that the ban on the cricketer was "illegal and unsustainable".
Azharuddin, now an MP, was one of India's most successful captains, and finished his career with 99 Tests.
"I'm relieved," he told a news conference after the ban was lifted.
"I have no desire to play cricket again. I've not played cricket for a long time, so playing is no longer on the cards.
"But I'm interested in doing something in cricket. I want to help young cricketers with my experience.
"I was destined to play 99 Tests and I don't think I will add to this."
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), which runs the game in the country, had considered lifting the ban in 2006.
But it was held back by the International Cricket Council (ICC), which said that only it could allow the cricketer to resume playing the game.
"It is not true that the BCCI had lifted the ban on me in 2006," added Azharuddin, who has battled to fight to clear his name.
Senior BCCI official Rajiv Shukla said that the board would "study and analyse" the judgement, before taking a decision on whether the ban would be revoked.
Azharuddin, who made his international debut in 1984, scored 15,593 runs for India in 99 Tests and 334 one-day internationals, the last of which came in June 2000.
He shot into the limelight with a record three hundreds in his first three Tests against England, and also scored a hundred in his last Test innings.
Azharuddin joined politics in 2009 and is now a Congress party MP from Moradabad in the northern state of Uttar Pradesh.

I don't get the whole working overtime thing that the Japanese have going. The June 25 article "Unpaid overtime excesses hit young" and Keisuke Akita's July 7 letter, "The dreams of young workers," don't teach me anything except that people are mules.
Japanese enter the workforce expecting overtime work because it's part of the work culture here. But whatever the explanation, it ought to stop because overtime is not normal.
Overtime work is inversely proportional to the mismanagement of a company and its personnel, or the degree of managerial incompetence. Companies are not just unattractive but ridiculous if overtime work is part of their recruitment pitch.
I suggest that Japanese adopt greater trust in the written contract, allow for the influence of contracts to grow against the influence of human relations in the workplace, and seek self-actualizing personal identity and fulfillment outside the workplace — not in it. After all, we do not live to work. We work so that we can live.
Personally my employment contracts are the Word of God to me. I am reliable, persevering and very hardworking within the parameters of the contract's provisions. Most importantly, my contracts specify my working hours and when the time is up, I am out the door. It doesn't matter if there are still papers on my desk. There will always be paper. It never ends. So I carry on the next business day where I left off the day before. The promise of remuneration for overtime does not attract me, and if the boss or coworkers are still busy at work, I suggest they go home, too.
The economic miracle that saw Japan rise from the rubble of war to one of the greatest economies on Earth has less to do with racial virtue, or dedication to company and hard work, than with the miracle of protected markets.
So Japanese workers ought to learn that they can afford to take a breather.
The opinions expressed in this letter to the editor are the writer's own and do not necessarily reflect the policies of The Japan Times.

I have a confession to make: it's been more than a year since I've been to the meeting of any atheist group. I occasionally get e-mails from people saying they're coming to Korea soon and want to know about atheist groups here, and I have to tell them I have no idea about them.
Why not? Well, partly, it's because I've been so busy with other things, but partly it's because among the English teachers, we're mostly liberal 20-somethings (plus some liberal folks in their early 30s), and while not everyone's a full-blown atheist, I've never felt out of place as an atheist here (though I imagine it'll be different for military folks). I just don't feel much need for it, given the (English-speaking) people here.
Similarly, the two cities I've spent the most time in since leaving college were Madison, WI (liberal) and South Bend, Indiana (conservative), and I was involved in atheist groups in both of them, including leading the Madison student group for a couple of years. When I discovered the Indiana group, it was a breath of fresh air in the conservative environment, and I got the feeling this was even more true for some of the members. The Madison group, on the other hand, more often than not was just a place to have nerdy discussions with like-minded people.These are the sorts of thoughts that come to mind when I hear debates about what goals atheist/skeptic/humanist/whateveryoucallit groups ought to have. But, before I over-generalize from my own narrow experiences, I want to hear from my readers: what have your experiences been with local atheist groups? What have you gotten out of them?

Former DOKKEN members George Lynch (guitar) and Jeff Pilson (bass) joined STEEL PANTHER on stage on December 13, 2010 at the Key Club in Hollywood, California to perform the classic DOKKEN track "Into The Fire". Fan-filmed video footage of their appearance can be viewed below.In a recent interview with Metal-Rules.com, Lynch stated about the much-rumored DOKKEN reunion plans, "Don [Dokken, vocals] has been making noises, and we've been having meetings, and we've been doing shows together with LYNCH MOB and SOULS OF WE, we did [the] Loud Park [festival] in Japan together and all this stuff, and it's like, and he said, 'Okay, I'm committing to it,' but we never put it on paper, and so my last few conversations with him is that he sounds like he's trying to get me to be a hired gun. And I told him, 'Dude, I told you from the first moment I'll never do that, I'm not a hired-gun guy.' . . . That was always my problem with him — that he was not an honest, trustful person, and I... He never said what he meant, and never did what he said. And that, to me, is a lack of character, and I don't like playing with people with no character. . . It was that, and that was all related to money. So, it's all a bad way to conduct yourself." Featuring Michael Starr (real name Ralph Saenz; ex-L.A. GUNS), drummer Stix Zadinia, bassist Lexxi Foxxx, and guitarist Satchel (real name Russ Parrish; ex-FIGHT), STEEL PANTHER (formerly known as METAL SKOOL) is a parody heavy metal band from Los Angeles, known for its profane and humorous lyrics. The group's over-the-top live performances have attracted celebrities and fans alike, and in February 2009 the band succeeded in becoming one of the most popular cover bands in California, winning the contest of "Best Tribute Band in the Universe"." The band's first album, entitled "Feel the Steel", was released in 2009.

Summary:This is a great golf ball. The DT Spin has nice accuracy, a nice feel off the clubface, and provides exceptional short game performance. It's also very durable, and lasts longer than most balls. However, it is somewhat lacking in distance, which I suppose is the reason for it being ignored by most golfers, but it's shorter distance isn't noticable. So if you're looking for a nice three-piece ball at a decent price, choose this one.

connect to the internet with text only
I wish to connect to the internet without using a browser or search engine,using command or terminal only......so far no one has been able to answer this
Welcome to LQ!
I may be misreading your question, but if you are asking about command line tools for accessing the internet then you have:
1. File transfer tools such as wget, lftp, rsync (for rsync enabled servers)
2. Command line based browsers (also useful for browsing html documentation) such as lynx and links
You can use text-based Web browsers such as Elinks, Lynx and Links.
"Just in case anyone still comes across this blog post
Dont use this hack. Use netcat or socat. There is a reason that Debian has this disabled.
This is a security risk on a multi-user system. It is easy to restrict access to socat, netcat, wget, and curl. It is impossible to disable this feature of the shell without changing the shell. This is a feature transparent enough that many administrators could overlook, allowing into their otherwise-secure chroots.
While I admit that on a single-user system, this is less of an issue than on a multi-user system, the fact that the security issue exists requires the expectation (and subsequent reality) that many systems have this disabled.
On the other hand, it is true that netcat also doesnt exist everywhere, if you must make the choice between programming for netcat or bash sockets choose netcat. It isnt that difficult to install and it doesnt necessitate the creation of unnecessary security concerns.
I would be very upset if a vendor told me that I needed to have a bash enabled with sockets; while I wouldnt at all mind a vendor telling me to install netcat. At least I can restrict netcat."
There were security concerns with this technique in 2007.
Perl and all sorts of other languages have a network capability - why shouldn't bash?
If the user can write files then they could install their own copy of nc.
To constrain user actions you want OS security features - not try to deny them access to programs that perform those actions.
yes you are correct in your assumption.....as you can guess i am a newby and i would like to use text based surfing.....but i dont know what the commands are or how to enter them......iam running Zorin 06 on one machine and win 7 on the other......could you give me an example on how to send a picture to a family group using only text.? for instance i would click on <terminal> in zorin and command prompt in windows...or would i.? ans then type what.....? thankyou all for your assistance in advance.
If you really want to go hardcore, you can connect to servers using telnet (e.g. telnet http://www.google.com 80) and simulate the protocol(s).
Technically, this is not an answer to your question, as you are explicitly looking for a way to connect to the Internet "without using a browser or search engine". I still believe, however, that you should try a text-based web browser for that purpose.
Not sure about Windows, but on Linux there are several text-based browsers. The most known ones are Lynx, w3m, and Elinks. The above are links to the Wikipedia pages for each of them, where you can see how they look and there are also links to their official web pages. Virtually every Linux distibution includes those text-based browsers in their repositories, so you shouldn't have problems installing them.
In general, expect faster browsing, to the cost of an interface that looks strange in the beginning, but you will soon figure out how to use it. Pictures are not seen by default, although at least w3m has a way to (optionally) show pictures as well. As far I know, Elinks is the most popular browser of that kind, although I prefer w3m. I would suggest to give them a try and decide which one you like most.
lynx, w3m ...
mail -s "Here is the photo" -a /path/to/filename family@group
thanks i will try everything
when i type in telnet alli get is " not a file type or command "and the same with w3m,rsync,netcat,elinks ans lynx.....thats using command prompt in windows..i havent tried Zorin because my modem is not exceptable to linux versions. and i cant update yet.
Apparently, you have to install those applications first ("installing" might mean just extracting a compressed file to a directory and run the application from there). As far I know, Lynx is the only text web browser I mentioned above that has a Win32 version, although I never used that one. You might want to try Lynx then (Dos/Win32 version can be downloaded here, and should run on modern Windows as well. I repeat, however, that I never used the Windows version myself.
In a way, w3m and Elinks also have a "Windows version", but needs Cygwin installed and I wouldn't recommend that one, as it would need more effort to get it working and will probably confuse beginneers.

On the Goe: Reverend Horton Heat and more at Mesa Theater
There is an old picture of Jim Heath at the origins of the Reverend Horton Heat. It's a live shot of the band playing some dive in Texas.
Dressed in a tan plaid shirt, sleeves rolled up, dark blue jeans tucked into a pair of light blue cowboy boots with black inlays, Heath surfs on top of an upright double bass laid on its side. The bass player, presumably Jimbo but unclear from the picture, slaps along in a cut off Harley-Davidson T-shirt.
Heath's blond hair is slicked back and he is clearly ripping a solo on his hollow body sunburst guitar. In the background, a lone cowboy hat sits on top of a stack of Peavey amps.
Part punk, part rock, part country, it's an image of a young but fully-realized band already focused on the direction they want to go. The show production value has changed over the years but not the showmanship. The bass surf seen in this old picture is still something the Rev. works into its shows.
The Reverend Horton Heat always had style and clear love for music. From Texas all the way up north to Washington, the band will play 17 shows in just over a month. You only do that if you are a) crazy and b) love what you do. The Rev. is both.
On Friday night, Jan. 25, that swagger and style will take the stage at Mesa Theater and Lounge.
"Reverend Horton Heat is great. He plays the music he believes in. Nothing else." says Lemmy, lead vocalist and bassist of Motorhead.
It would be a mistake to pigeonhole the Rev. as rockabilly, psychobilly, hillbilly or whatever. From Heath's own mouth: the band members are students of rock history, an original American rock 'n' roll band influenced on the heyday of rock 'n' roll from the '40s to mid-'60s. It's part surf rock, '60s garage rock, country and a little punk attitude.
What really separates the group from similar sounding bands is the song writing. Musically, the band is true to its influences and Heath is quite the guitarist. Pair that with lyrics that can be a little ridiculous and often funny, and you've really got something to which fans will respond.
On opening duty for the Rev. in Grand Junction is the dirty punk rock 'n' roll outfit from Denver, Reno Divorce, and Grand Junction's own Shotgun Hodown.
I caught up with Rob Woltjer, the band's vocalist, guitarist, electric washboard player and accordionist, and he promises a fun night.
Shotgun Hodown has been busy writing new material, some of which they will play tonight.
One of the new songs is called "Chicken and Whiskey."
"We will hand out cold fried chicken, and whiskey shots will be on special before the song," Rob said.
Shotgun Hodown has added a banjo to part of its set. In case you're keeping count, that would make for about 15 different instruments the five-piece band plays at its live shows.
Personally, I'm excited for the psychedelic outlaw rock band Shotgun Hodown. Playing Friday night with the Rev. is a great opportunity to showcase its music in front of a larger audience. Since 2006, the band has been touring and playing as much as possible. Shotgun Hodown has put in its dues and it's nice to see the band play with the Rev.
Hot rods, hand tats, Chuck Taylors, neck tats, pomade, switch blades, chain wallets and wayfarers. Ringer T's, 501s, motorcycles, bandannas and button beanies. Pinstripes, reverb, bolo ties, tremolo, chrome and grit.
Friday night will be equal parts style and substance. Three bands, one legend, we'll rock around the clock.

Spectacular it is. I've been trying it secretly the past week.
It's complex.
Well blended.
Transitions from top to mid to base notes and from accord to accord effortlessly.
At no point is it sloppy or murky.
On a final note, I was wondering how the ambrox would influence it.
Would it be subtle or prominent?
Well, I'll say it gives the perfume a fresh modern facet without reducing from the concept: the traditional Mediterennean countryside
I am very close to getting a full bottle.
Clary Sage, Rose Bud, Fig, Mandarin tree Leaves
Heart Notes
Jasmine Marmalade, Lentisk, Violet
Base Notes
Pine Needles, Oak chips, Ambrox
Caligna â meaning to « court » in the local Provençal dialect â is in essence the story of an encounter with nature in this glorious part of France. This new woody-aromatic Eau de Parfum captures and brings to life different impressions of the Grasse countryside.
It evokes a warm breeze blowing over the land, a sense of freedom in the wild open spaces, a lightness of being with laughter echoing into the distance.
THE PERFUMER â Dora Baghriche -Arnaud
Growing up between the sounds and smells of the Mediterranean and the immense, regal avenues of Paris, capital of art and fashion, Dora Baghriche-Arnaud is the perfect illustration of a new generation of perfumers; natural, playful and sensitive to the world around her.

Is there a red-blooded American out there who doesn't get turned on by the new Corvette Stingray? After driving this yellow monster for a few hundred miles, the answer is probably no. The Internet's abuzz about its taillights and those who can't afford it bemoan its $51,995 base price, but everywhere we took it people went nuts. Every gas stop took an extra five minutes while people shot photos and asked questions. On the road, we were awash in unsolicited thumbs-up. Park it anywhere and watch the crowds gather, cell phone cameras snapping away.
We spent a day last summer tooling around the twisty roads of Monterey, California, and the surrounding wine country, sampling base models, Z51-equipped cars, seven-speed manuals and automatics. Most recently, we got the yellow monster you see here. It's got the base—no Z51 handling package, no Magnetic Ride, no navigation—but it does have the upgraded 3LT interior and dual mode exhaust. The only other options of note were the chrome wheels, automatic transmission and yellow brake calipers. All in, the sticker was $67,155 (including $995 destination). Knock off the 3LT interior and your price drops by $7,000—subtract another two grand if you can live without the chrome wheels.
While at first we were disappointed we couldn't track test a Z51/seven-speed stick car, we ultimately felt this was opportune time to see how good the new C7 is without it. The answer is very good indeed. Besides, everyone else has tested the Z51, so this would be something different.
One advantage to the automatic is you actually get a better gearing for drag racing than either of the seven speed manual combos with the 3.42 gears. With the auto you get a 4.02 first gear and a 2.56 rear gear. While that 2.56 gave us pause, it actually gives you more gear out of the hole than even the Z51/manual combo. If you opt for the Z51 with your automatic, you get a slightly improved 2.73:1 ratio out back.
First the positives. The ride quality is superb, regardless of whether you're in the Tour, Sport or Track mode. Yes, it deteriorates slightly in the more aggressive modes, but you'd need a seriously sensitive posterior to complain about it.
You want horsepower? This car's got it—torque, too. On the Super Chevy Dynojet, it made 410.88 SAE corrected rear wheel horsepower and 419.71 lb-ft of torque. Even better, it produces 400 lb-ft of torque at the wheels from 3750 to 5250 rpm. (For comparison's sake, our last Grand Sport automatic test car made 394 hp at the wheels.)
The built quality is outstanding. Not a squeak or rattle to be found, plus the quality of the cabin's materials is first class. The base seats are superb. They are supportive on track, comfortable over the road (we had no complaints after a three-hour stint behind the wheel). Some more substantial Corvette enthusiasts may find them snug, but we found them just right. We'd definitely recommend trying the optional Recaro seats on for size before checking off the option box, because they just might not be what you want or need—especially if you don't plan on autocrossing or doing open track events.
If you care about fuel economy, we averaged 25.9 mpg over the 170-mile journey home from our track outing, despite some extended periods of cruising that found us ever-so-slightly exceeding the speed limit. Ever-so-slightly. By 80 mph or so. Passing slower traffic on two-lane back roads is as easy and hitting the blinker, pulling out and nailing the throttle. Do this and we guarantee by the time you pass the offending motorist, you'll have accelerated from 50-100 mph. It happens quickly and will bark the tires on the upshifts. We would like to shake the hand of whoever programmed this six-speed automatic. He's the hot rodders' friend.
Speaking of which, the paddle shifts function far better than they did on the C6. There's no guessing anymore. Pull the upshift paddle and it happens almost instantly. Except on the road course—we'll get to that in a minute.
We pulled into the track at Palm Beach International Raceway in Jupiter, Florida, and couldn't wait to get on the drag strip. We had three-quarters of a tank of fuel and let the car cool for 40 minutes or so after our three-hour trek down. Density altitude was 1,685 feet above sea level (82°, 65 percent humidity, 30.03 barometer).
From past experience with stock automatic-equipped Corvettes, we knew all we really had to do was put the shifter in D and stand on the throttle for maximum performance. The computer takes over regardless of the fact that you're in Competitive Track Mode and feeds throttle in as it sees fit. After a short burnout to clean the Michelins, we pulled to the line, staged shallow, and put one foot on the gas and one on the brake. When the light came on, we matted the throttle and held on. I knew we got away good and from my peripheral vision saw a 1.75 60-ft come up on the scoreboard. The e.t. slip read 11.84 at 117.99—holy fiberglass, Zora. That was the quickest stock automatic run we've ever experienced in a Corvette. A back-up pass with the car hot was 11.85 at 117.83, proving the first run was no fluke.
After another 40 minute cool down, we got a little more aggressive on the line. By taking the slack out of the drivetrain by power-braking ever so slightly, the e.t. dropped to an amazing 11.768 at 118.86. The back-up pass was even better: Hot, the Stingray went 11.736 at 118.76 (1.726 60-ft). Getting more aggressive at the line and/or trying to shift manually had no positive effect on elapsed time. We could not beat the computer, so it was off to the Palm Beach International road course.
In the short time we've been testing on this 2.034-mile track, 11-turn track the quickest lap time for a stocker was by a '12 Camaro ZL1, a 1.31.41. In the Vette, we went a best of 1.31.14 (there's a 1.31.56 on the embedded video here). While it looks to be leaning a lot in photos, you didn't really feel any of this on track. The car felt totally composed. The only bad news to report is the transmission overheated rather quickly, the oil temps skyrocketed and the brakes faded. We couldn't get two laps in without bringing the Vette in for a cool down. While some would say we shouldn't have been on such a fast track with a base Stingray, we maintain any Corvette should be able to do multiple laps on virtually any track at any time.
Our advice: If you're going on track, consider the Z51 mandatory. If you just plan on cruising it with the occasional autocross thrown in for good measure, the base suspension is all you need. This is the most refined Corvette ever, with more grip than most customers have skill level. Considering it ran the third quickest quarter-mile time in Super Chevy testing history for a stock Chevy behind the C6 ZR1 and Z06, we can't figure how you could go wrong either way.

If Winnipeg Jets move Dustin Byfuglien, the Edmonton Oilers need to be the destination
Gary Lawless of the Winnipeg Free Press made his point of view clear in no uncertain terms in the first two lines of his column today. In his mind, it is essential that the local Jets move Dustin Byfuglien as soon as possible to another NHL team for whatever they can get.
The phrases "addition by subtraction," "refusal to play responsible hockey," "poor puck management" and the like all make an appearance in the column. He quotes ex-Atlanta Thrashers general manager Don Waddell's description of the player as "a high-risk guy" and suggests that appraisal carries extra weight because Waddell was in charge when Byfuglien's contract was signed.
If Jets G.M. Kevin Cheveldayoff feels even remotely similarly (and given that head coach Claude Noel noted Byfuglien needs to be better, that's possible), then its up to the Edmonton Oilers to step in and relieve Winnipeg of the big defenceman/right winger. Not, of course, to help a fellow NHL team out. Edmonton would be doing it for a more selfish reason: because Byfuglien would be the best blue-liner on the roster in the here-and-now.
At 28 years old, Byfuglien is still in the heart of his career. Despite his nearly 500 NHL games it's easy to forget that Byfuglien is in only his fourth season as a defenceman, less than 200 games into that position at the major-league level. That 200-game mark is a dangerous time because the player has been around long enough that people are sick of the mistakes (as Jeff Petry knows all too well) but many also turn a corner at right about that moment (an anyone who followed Jason Smith's career is aware).
Byfuglien is at that critical juncture.
But I don't mean to make it sound as though a trade for Byfuglien is a trade about potential. It isn't. The 6'5″, 265 pound defender (who has been widely reported as being far more committed to fitness this year than he was last season) is a massive physical presence, a fantastically gifted offensive rearguard and more importantly a guy who drives the play. His plus/minus may be ugly (on-ice save percentage: 0.880) but the Jets out-shoot the opposition 33.6 to 30.2 with Byfuglien on the ice and get out-shot 30.4 to 28.5 with him off it. That's a massive swing for a guy who plays top opposition and gets defensive zone assignments. It's so massive that if the Jets were to make the awful mistake of running Byfuglien out of town that one wonders exactly how they plan to replace him.
But that's Winnipeg's problem. Edmonton's is that they don't have a single top-pair defenceman. Byfuglien brings that, as well as the wonderful combination of size and ability with the puck that the Oilers' current blue line lacks so badly. A right side depth chart of Jeff Petry, Justin Schultz, Corey Potter and Philip Larsen is brutal for an NHL team, while one of Byfuglien, Petry, Schultz and Potter is instantly respectable.
If there really is a move to be made here, Craig MacTavish needs to act before Winnipeg changes its mind.

ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) The Minnesota Supreme Court is getting back to capacity with the installment of new Justice David Lillehaug.
He's the second appointee of Gov. Mark Dayton to the state's seven-member high court.
Lillehaug is a former U.S. attorney for Minnesota and a lawyer with deep ties to Democratic politics. He takes his oath this afternoon at a ceremony in Minneapolis.
\Lillehaug replaces Justice Paul Anderson, who retired last month. Lillehaug is the 91st person to hold the title of Supreme Court justice in Minnesota. Late last month, Lillehaug revealed he was diagnosed with throat cancer. But he says it was caught early, is localized and is highly curable.

Worth a Visit: Photography Exhibits at Wellin Museum of Art at Hamilton College
Featured in my blog, "6 Free Things to Do in Clinton," the Wellin Museum of Art at Hamilton College is a great place to visit. And now there's even more incentive to go. There are two new photography exhibits at the museum– "Refocusing the Lens: Pranlal K Patel's Photographs of Women at Work in Ahmedabad" and "In Context: The Portrait of Contemporary Photographic Practice."
In "Refocusing the Lens," Pranlal K. Patel's photographs focus on women working various jobs in Ahmedabad, India during the early 20th century. Here are a few pictures from the exhibit:
"In Context" is an exhibit that features many different artists. Content and subjects range in the exhibit, with many photographs dealing with political and social issues in the world. Here are a few pictures from the exhibit:
If you like photography, I highly recommend these exhibits. As an amateur photographer, I found them to be some of the best photographic exhibits in the area.
Taking at trip to the Wellin Museum of Art at Hamilton College is well worth the visit.
"Refocusing the Lens" continues through April 15 and "In Context" continues through July 27.
The museum is located at 198 College Hill Road in Clinton. Hours are Tuesday through Sunday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is free. For more information, click here and here.

How to brew great coffee at home
Coffee tsar, Salvatore Malatesta, bubbles with enthusiasm on the subject of coffee. He's also evangelical about how best to appreciate the plethora of different flavour profiles found in the seeds of the cherry-like fruit that is prized around the planet.
Malatesta runs 11 cafes, scours the globe for beans he roasts at his Sensory Lab and sells about seven tonnes of them each week.
"I treat coffee with the same respect that winemakers treat different varietals. Coffee beans are the seed of the coffee plant's red or purple fruit, the cherry. And, like a good pinot, which is enjoyed best at cellar temperature, coffee should cool to about 67C to be fully appreciated," says the former lawyer, who as well as owning Melbourne's cult cafe, St Ali, counts being a World Barista Accredited judge as one of his many qualifications.
When it comes to making a great coffee at home, Malatesta says the number-one error budding home baristas make is keeping coffee in the fridge or freezer, which "kills the flavours and may damage the grinder".
He also recommends that those wanting to make a mean home brew undertake a barista course to develop confidence in their technique and how it affects the taste.
"I have friends who spend a lot of money on great machines. But if you don't learn how to ride a motorbike, you can't ride a motorbike. You can spend $11,000 on a machine and still make bad coffee," he says.
Richard Calabro, of Grind Espresso, agrees that buying the most expensive espresso machines and latest, greatest coffee gadgets is no guarantee that you will be able to master the brewing method.
"I've been making coffee for 22 years. The first thing I tell anyone hoping to learn the art of making coffee is 'understand its enemies'. Coffee has four main enemies: moisture, heat, light and oxygen," Calabro says.
"The only time you want coffee to be in touch with water is when it's infusing. Keep it out of the fridge and drink it when it's most lively - right after infusion. Once it gets in contact with any of its enemies, coffee loses its optimum flavour," he says.
Calabro says while good coffee does rely on decent equipment, coffee connoisseurs should know that it also depends on the quality of the water, the temperature of the water, the quality of the coffee and milk (if it's being added).
He says those in pursuit of the perfect home espresso should get their inner geek on and learn all they can about getting the best out of their machine.
"Look at the word 'espresso'. It comes from the Latin word exprimere, from ex (out) and primere (to press). One of the first rules of thumb is you must ensure the machine is ''at pressure''. You need to create the right pressure to extract the right sweetness or it's not going to taste right," Calabro says.
"The under-extracted taste is sour and weak and it will lack colour and crema. Alternatively, if the water is too hot and there is too much pressure, the coffee will be over-extracted and taste burnt and bitter," he says.
Calabro advises his customers to experiment with their home machines and tweak their technique, according to the style of coffee they prefer and their own personal palate.
"Single origin, medium-dark roasted beans are more ideal for espresso, bringing out more complex, deeper flavours such as caramel and chocolates," he says.
Filter coffee is also making a comeback he says. "Filter coffee is going off because it's simple to brew and brings out different flavours that you can't achieve in espresso brewing. It's very sweet and it's proving hugely popular.''
He also urges caffeine junkies to try different brewing techniques, such as Japanese siphon, Aeropress and cold-drip coffee, which is his personal favourite when it comes to alternative methods.
"If I was drinking an alternative brew, I'd have a cold-drip because it's rich and syrupy and tastes almost like a liqueur. If I have milk coffee, it's a macchiato. First thing in the morning, it's a double ristretto or a big black. It depends on what sort of mood I'm in," Calabro says.
Tips on how to produce great-quality coffee at home
1. Don't keep coffee in the fridge or freezer; it kills the flavours and the hard coffee may damage the grinder.
2. Store coffee beans in a dark, air-tight container in a cupboard and use within 14 days of their roasting date.
3. Coffee is a seed from a fruit, so seasonality and freshness are key - ask your roaster for the freshest blend.
4. Coffee loses its quality five to 10 minutes after being ground, so store the beans and use ground coffee quickly. Grind, infuse and drink straight away.
5. Coffee is 90 per cent water, so water quality is essential. Filtered water is best.
6. For those who like milk with their coffee, the optimum ratio between water and milk is 1:3. Try to use biodynamic milk because milk quality is important.
7. Cleanliness in all forms of food and drink is essential. Clean your machine regularly.
8. If you choose to use a manual coffee machine, then do a barista course to learn how a good coffee should look, smell and taste.
9. Many people confuse strength with acidity. Acidity is a desirable attribute when harmonised with natural caramelisation of the sugars in coffee. Heavily roasted beans taste strong and fresh beans tend to have a light citrus taste.
10. If you are using an espresso machine, expect the extraction time to be about 30 seconds.

Before I used britesmile, I was very skepetical on whether it would work or not since it's a commercial product. I also read up people's reviews and it was more negative than positive, which made purchasing it even more hard since it was $399! But, I decided to take the plunge and get it done and this is my take of it.
Basic Info: 3 20 minute sessions / Recommended that you stay away from color foods/drinks and only eat/drink clear foods/drinks. The procedure was an hour long but I was probably there for no more than 1h30m.
Pain: The procedure is definitely not pain-free but it wasn't anything major. During the third session, I started to have a throbbing pain in my teeth. The pain was caused by the nerves in our teeth that were bulging. Because they had to place to do, it would hit up against the walls of the teeth, resulting in minor pains. The pains came and went for about 4-5 hours, it wasn't a consistent pain. When I was out, I really had to close my mouth because any gust of wind caused pain. Besides the limited foods you could eat, I had no problems eating.
Results: I LOVE MY TEETH! I am sooo happy that I got this done.
For me, the $399, the minor pains, the limited food choices for 24 hours were definitely worth it. After using britesmile, I recommend this to everyone that is looking to get whiter teeth. The next day or two, MY TEETH WERE EVEN WHITER than the day I had it done.
It's been 2 weeks since I got it done and my teeth are just as white as the 2nd/3rd day. I always had self esteem issues with the color of my teeth but now I'm not. Here is a before and after picture of my teeth.
BEFORE: June 5th
AFTER: July 26h; 2-3 hours after the procedure
PRESENT: August 7th I know the coloration of the first 2 pictures are totally off but that's pretty close to how yellow my teeth were. The present picture has the most accurate lighting. My skin color is due to my new tan, not the lighting. All 3 pictures were taken with a DSLR; all RAW pictures, no photoshop whatsoever.
The before and present pictures were taken with a Canon XS and the after picture was taken with the XT. I wish I did an accurate before and after.
I hope this helps people who are on the fence with britesmile.

It's probably true that 80 percent of the time we see Alessandra Ambrosio she's either in a bathing suit, lingerie or some sort of sexy Victoria's Secret ensemble. But while you're used to seeing her bare it all, you might not know that the girl has amazing street style. An expert mix of classic simplicity, California boho and a bit of Brazilian flair, Ale looks just as good on her off-duty days as she does during her swimsuit shootsand we all know that's pretty damn good. We shopped a complete outfit inspired by the supermodel, and we can only hope that we look half as good as she does when we put it on.

"Sirs, after the lapse of a hundred thousand years the cycle is to be renewed: this world will be destroyed; also the mighty ocean will dry up; and this broad earth, and Sineru, the monarch of the mountains, will be burnt up and destroyed,--up to the Brahma-world will the destruction of the world extend. Therefore, sirs, cultivate friendliness; cultivate compassion, joy, and indifference; wait on your mothers; wait on your fathers; and honor your elders among your kinsfolk."
The Thus Gone One knows. Those recluses and brahmins, who declare the annihilation, destruction and the non existence of the conscience, fear the self loathe it, and run round that same self. Like one bound to a wooden or iron post would run round and round the post. In the same manner those recluses and brahmins, who declare the annihilation, destruction and the non existence of the conscience of the person, fear the self, loathe it, and run round that same self. This is compounded and coarse, there is a cessation of determinations. The Thus Gone One seeing the escape, overcame it.
alan wrote:22.99 is also good and should be read.
Maybe the reason this short sutta begins with a description of the awesome timeline of samsara is to put the question into context and make it more pointed.
The Buddha's teaching addresses a fourth aspect of the human condition
which, unlike the three we have so far examined, is not immediately
perceptible to us. This is our bondage to the round of rebirths.
From the selection of texts included in the final section in this chapter,
we see that the Buddha teaches our individual lifespan to be merely a
single phase within a series of rebirths that has been proceeding without
any discernible beginning in time. This series of rebirths is called
samsara, a Pali word which suggests the idea of directionless wandering.
No matter how far back in time we may seek a beginning to the
universe, we never find an initial moment of creation. No matter how
far back we may trace any given individual sequence of lives, we can
never arrive at a first point. According to Texts I,4(1) and I,4(2), [SN 15.1, 15.2 , similar to the Suttas here: http://www.accesstoinsight.org/tipitaka/sn/index.html#sn15] even
if we were to trace the sequence of our mothers and fathers across
world systems, we would only come upon still more mothers and
fathers stretching back into the far horizons.
Moreover, the process is not only beginningless but is also potentially
endless. As long as ignorance and craving remain intact, the
process will continue indefinitely into the future with no end in sight.
For the Buddha and Early Buddhism, this is above all the defining crisis
at the heart of the human condition: we are bound to a chain of
rebirths, and bound to it by nothing other than our own ignorance and
craving. The pointless wandering on in samsara occurs against a cosmic
background of inconceivably vast dimensions. The period of time
that it takes for a world system to evolve, reach its phase of maximum
expansion, contract, and then disintegrate is called a kappa (Skt: kalpa),
an eon. Text I,4(3) [SN 15.5] offers a vivid simile to suggest the eon's duration;
Text I,4(4), [SN 15.8] another vivid simile to illustrate the incalculable number of
the eons through which we have wandered.
As beings wander and roam from life to life, shrouded in darkness,
they fall again and again into the chasm of birth, aging, sickness, and
death. But because their craving propels them forward in a relentless
quest for gratification, they seldom pause long enough to step back
and attend carefully to their existential plight. As Text I,4(5) [SN 22.99] states, they
instead just keep revolving around the "five aggregates" in the way a
dog on a leash might run around a post or pillar. Since their ignorance
prevents them from recognizing the vicious nature of their condition,
they cannot discern even the tracks of a path to deliverance. Most
beings live immersed in the enjoyment of sensual pleasures. Others,
driven by the need for power, status, and esteem, pass their lives in
vain attempts to fill an unquenchable thirst. Many, fearful of annihilation
at death, construct belief systems that ascribe to their individual
selves, their souls, the prospect of eternal life. A few yearn for a path
to liberation but do not know where to find one. It was precisely to
offer such a path that the Buddha has appeared in our midst.
alan wrote:If this is to be a proper study group we need to not only the suttas but also consider what the mean to us, which requires asking questions.
So...in what ways have you used the idea of dispassion in your life? Has it been beneficial? Are there some examples where you have recognized that we are all running around this post of sensuality, and have taken steps to get out of that trap?

Capitals sign Orpik: Defenseman bonded with Ovechkin at Olympics while trying to urinate
With the addition of Brooks Orpik via free agency Tuesday, the Capitals welcomed a former foe into the fold; the 33-year-old defenseman spent his entire career with the Pittsburgh Penguins, with whom Washington had a hot rivalry at the peak of the Sidney Crosby / Alex Ovechkin hype-machine.
As such, Orpik now faces the prospect of helping rather than hitting Ovechkin; while he admits it will be "a little different," Orpik said the pair bonded at the 2014 Winter Games in Sochi while attempting to urinate for a drug test.
Via Alex Prewitt of The Washington Post:
It'll be a little different. I think we'll probably both be happy about it because we tend to beat on each other pretty good. This might actually be the best thing for both of us. It's funny. I got to know him pretty well at the Olympics. We actually go to do drug testing together after the U.S.-Russia game and neither of us could pee at the time, so we got to spend a couple hours together.
Some say chemistry is the "number one" priority in terms of building a winning team, and Orpik and Ovechkin already seem to have a leg up in that department.

From the day Raider Louis Wolfson became chief stockholder of American Motors, Wall Streeters wondered what he planned to do with the 420,000 shares (7%) owned by him and his family. Last week the SEC enlightened them. It discovered that Wolfson had sold all his A.M.C. stock while publicly proclaiming his great faith in the company. Then he and associates had sold short at least 150,000 shares, i.e., sold borrowed stock in the expectation of buying it back at lower prices. After that, charged the SEC, they had made "false and misleading statements," and put out "bogus information" to...

Catherine, the Duchess of Cambridge, donned a dress by one of her late mother-in-law's favourite designers Saturday for the royal couple's last appearances in Ottawa.
The grey Kensington dress by Catherine Walker was an understated pick for a tree-planting ceremony at Rideau Hall followed by a reception at the Canadian War Museum to meet veterans and war brides. The couple arrived in Quebec after a short plane ride with Kate wearing the same outfit.
Kate paired the short-sleeved, grey V-back shift dress with silver pumps, a grey clutch and no hat.
The muted ensemble struck the correct respectful tone for the occasions, said fashion blogger Susan Kelley of WhatKateWore.com.
"I think it's a little bit edgier in the sense that the detail on the back and the deep V in the back kept it contemporary and kept it looking a little hipper or a little zippier, if you will," Ms. Kelley said from Okemos, Mich.
"It wasn't a completely boring, conservative, plain, grey dress. The detailing on the sleeves, the detailing at the collar on the front and then the lapels on the back as well made it come up a notch."
Prince William and his wife Kate are on a nine-day visit to Canada, their first official royal tour as a married couple. After Quebec they head to Prince Edward Island, the Northwest Territories and Alberta.
Ms. Walker, who was arguably one of Diana's favourite designers, created more than 1,000 pieces worn by the late Princess of Wales.
The French designer died in Sussex, England last year, but as her health began to fail she hand-picked and trained a new design team to carry on her label. The move has ensured continuity and from the new collections it's hard to tell Walker herself isn't at the helm anymore, Ms. Kelley said.
But the move to wear a Diana designer likely wasn't purely a nod to William's late mother, as the Middleton family has long also favoured Catherine Walker designs, Ms. Kelley said.
Kate's mother wore the label to her daughter's wedding in April. And the fact remains, that Kate's style is very similar to Diana's, Ms. Kelley said.
"They're mostly classic looks," she said. "They're mostly very well cut, very flattering pieces that kind of skim one's figure. They show off your figure in a very nice, lovely way without being risque."

Nick Cannon Shows Up to Super Bowl XLVI, Is '100 Percent' Healthy
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) – What do you do after recovering from a serious illness? If you're Nick Cannon, you celebrate by attending the Super Bowl.
The entertainer was hospitalized last month after suffering from a form of mild kidney failure, but he says he is now fully healed.
"This is a great place to get back and debut the healthy Nick," he said on Sunday during a break as the host of NBC's pre-show. "Everybody's out here having a good time, and you know people were worried like, 'Is he going to be able to do the Super Bowl pre-show?' But I am 100 percent feeling good right now."
Cannon attributes his improved health to a change in diet, but says he does not eat the same food as wife Mariah Carey, who recently lost weight after giving birth to their twins Moroccan and Monroe.
"I used to be a fast-food junkie," Cannon explained. "She gets to have higher protein, which isn't fair because I love my steaks and I can't eat that anymore. Her carbs are lower so we are both on a diet, but it is different."
Cannon, who is a New York Giants fan, attended various events in the days leading up to the Super Bowl.
While his family was not with him, they were not far from his mind. When asked if he'd like to expand his brood one day, he laughed and said: "I would love to have more children. Now my wife on the other hand, I think the twins took a toll on her. She is like, 'I ain't doing that again.'"

Getting low is critical for keeping you on your feet and harder to knock over. The lower profile also allows you to utilize a narrow wheel properly. Many people who have tried traditional diameter wheels in skinny or super skinny form complain about balance and the ability to avoid ankle injuries. When you use a smaller wheel, your center of gravity is lowered and you can get away with a skinnier wheel without side affects.Reduced weight is another benefit of the ADONIS low profile design. ADONIS skate wheels are the lightest Hubd wheel on the market! Reducing the overall mass of your skates will help increase your response, recovery and give you an overall better skating experience! This reduces size and weight will take the sluggish response out of your feet. You may not notice it until you try them, but you will definitely be able to tell a difference. This dramatic improvement in response time will allow you to start and stop faster, change direction quicker, recover from a misstep easier and jump higher.Many people ask, Won't small wheels slow me down? The answer is no. Adonis find many skaters are actually faster on ADONIS wheels because it takes less effort to do the same work. Putting in the same effort as larger wheels will increase your performance. Another thing to take note is that derby is not speed skating! While some speed is important, setting land speed records are not necessary and response and agility is much more important.Size: 32mm x 50mmDurometer: 95APurpose: Roller DerbyColour: BlueSold in packs of 4 wheelsCheck stock and price

Need a pauseNov. 8th, 2010 09:27 am
Okay, I feel the need to state it. Due to droves of work-related stress, I put several projects on hold for now (I'll pick them up again as soon as my mind's clearer).
These include:
- a request from wolfbrothersong for his roommate
- editing ziabandito555's story
- most of my writing, actually, besides a ridiculously ineffectual attempt at participating in NaNoWriMo (i.e. less than 1000 words in 8 days).
Hopefully, this won't last too long. Maybe a few days more... It's come to the point where I was unable to dedicate the last week-end to anything else than relaxation.

We've had to brush up on art history to prep for this season's painterly tops and dresses so that we can approach each piece with a curator's eye. And since colorblocking, ethereal watercolors and abstract brush strokes are ruling the runways, our closet's starting to look like a mini museum. As a fan of every art-inspired look, we're digging this Chloe dress worn by actress Emily Mortimer. Framed by black tights and eye-catching purple booties, the dress is truly a work of art. Other stars loving the trend? Demi Moore, whose YSL paint-splattered shift is perfect for a sunny summer day. Tell us: Are you feeling this artsy trend? Would you wear a painterly dress? What do you like about the look — or hate about it?

You might have noticed the slight difference in today's titles. Normally when I write my thoughts on a topic, they fall under the "Off My Mind" title. We've also had "Off THEIR Mind" videos where comic book creators are asked these topics at conventions. This is the next step and actually one I had over a year ago. For some strange reason, I never implemented it.
Earlier this week, Bryan Singer confirmed what has been rumored for months. The next X-Men movie will have the subtitle: Days of Future Past.
It's being written now and it starts shooting in a few months... It's going to be very ambitious. It's called Days of Future Past, and it deals with aspects of that comic but also some new things. I just don't want to give anything away. Matthew Vaughn will be directing, and we're very excited about that.
Obviously it can't be the same as the story from the comics. There are aspects that would be difficult to adapt plus the fact that the core characters are not part of the X-Men: First Class universe.
We want to hear from you. This is where you guys share your thoughts.
Is trying to adapt or using the title, "Days of Future Past" a good idea?
Don't just answer with a yes or no. Elaborate and share your opinion below.
Tony Guerrero is the Editor-in-Chief of Comic Vine. You can follow him on Twitter @GManFromHeck. He would love to see a proper adaptation of the actual comic story made into an animated or live-action film.
