from TSN,
Montreal Canadiens forward Max Pacioretty suffered a severe concussion and a fractured vertebrae on Tuesday, according to Canadiens head coach Jacques Martin.
"Max Pacioretty has a severe concussion, as well as a fracture of the fourth cervical vertebrae, but it's not displaced," Martin said. "Max will remain at the hospital for further observation. There will be no other prognosis for the time being, but he will obviously be out indefinitely. The most important thing for our organization right now is Max's recovery. We will continue following recommendations from the doctors and of course, Max and his immediate family would appreciate privacy in this matter."

Those are some serious injuries, I'm wondering how much they will effect his suspension length. Also wonder if their past history will be taken into account. I wonder if Chara's Norris trophy credentials will be taken into account. My guess is sorta, no, and yes.

"Severe concussion" was almost a given, but a fractured C4 is some rough shit. I'm actually a bit speechless.

After watching the replay, IMHO Chara knew exactly where he was on the ice and what he was doing when he slammed Pacioretty's face into the glass at the end of the bench. An strong argument for a suspension for the rest of the season, a la Bertuzzi, can be made.
I hope Chara gets 20 games or more. I don't care if the hit was legal or not. This isn't the 1950's anymore, these guys are so much bigger, faster and stronger than in the days of "old time hockey." Just because you can make a hit, doesn't mean you should. Players need to learn they can ease up a bit and still make a hit, play the body, take their man out of the play, etc. without severely injurying a guy.
Many hockey pundits have been saying for years that it is only a matter of time unitl an NHL player gets killed on the ice during a game. That almost happened last night. At the very least, the NHL should make checks into the boards in the vincinty of the benches illegal.
And the NHL needs to listen to the one thing Don Cherry gets right: ban hard-outer-shell elbow pads and shoulder pads. The combination of bigger, faster, stronger players hitting each other (even accidentally) in the facial/head area with that hard-shell body armor is causing too many concussions. Oh, and while I'm ranting on my soap box about player safety, ban that heavy seamless glass that has no give to it.

Chara broke his F(*O&^*% neck! He should be done for the year for that hit. However, "Collie" (Gary's lapdog) won't do doodley-squat (to quote Vonnegut).

Just announced, NHL will not suspend Chara.
Posted by CaptainDennisPolonich from La La Land on 03/09/11 at 06:40 PM ET
Get well Max, come back strong.
Hope he doesn't go all "Steve Moore" on Chara. This will just give Moores attorney more fuel, since he's not only suing Bertuzzi, but the entire league.

Descripción de editorial
Carissa Wright doesn't do relationships.
Raised with a junkie mother and an alcoholic father, building relationships were far off her list. Rather, one night-stands were her usual.
Carissa has one constant in her life—her best friend Velaney. Completely opposite of each other, yet they balance each other out.
Although Carissa admits to only wanting sex and nothing more, will she allow the one guy who wants to break down her walls or will she run out of fear for finally letting her guard down?
She is unfamiliar with these feelings and wants nothing more than to walk away without a shattered heart. Will she be able to find the courage in order to turn her flame into a long lasting relationship?
With walls built up & emotions turned off, can she learn to put her heart on the line?
Or will each guy just be another flame?
Drew Finlay is a foreign exchange student from London. Studying abroad, he remains focused on school and football. It isn't until he meets Carissa that his consistent routine is interrupted. Knowing very well he'll be heading home in just a matter of months, Drew doesn't pressure Carissa into giving him more than she can give. However, once he falls for her...he isn't giving up.
Control, passion, and desperation.
He'll take her anyway he can have her...

The newest episode of Tales of Monkey Island brings a much needed change of scenery to the series. The two first episodes repeated each other with an island setting and both even had a forest maze. Compared to them a giant manatee's stomach is very original.
In the end of Siege of Spinner Cay Guybrush, his sole crewmate and pirate hunter Morgan LeFlay got swallowed by a giant manatee. In its mouth our heroes find treasure hunter Coronado DeCava who is also after the Lesponga Grande, which will fix the voodoo pox infecting Guybrush himself and other pirates . The problem Guybrush faces this time is the ear of the manatee. A part controlling its sense of direction has been stolen and is being held by DeCava's mutinous crew of four. They have formed a brotherhood which Guybrush must join if he wishes to heal the manatee and get the sponge.
The game world being essentially a stomach the area in which to walk and interact is a lot smaller, solving a lot of the problems with the control scheme, a big problem in the earlier episodes. Walking up and down the same staircase because of a wronglytimed press of the mouse, as often happened in Siege of Spinner Cay, is gone. Also gone is the time consuming running around. There is even a possibility to use tubes in the manatee's stomach (don't ask me) for speedier travel.
With the control problems all but gone the player is free to concentrate on what makes Monkey Island so good: The dialogue and humor. When it comes to these two Telltale ups the ante considerably. Lair of the Leviathan presents four new characters and they're all very funny, my personal favorite being Moose, sort of a surfer-type hippie pirate. A friend from older Monkey Islands also makes an appearance.
Different from the earlier episodes is that the characters have a lot more facial animation and many of the jokes involve more facial expressions, instead of only leaning on dialogue. Piratehunter Morgan LeFlay for example grows very disappointed in Guybrush as the episode progresses and makes faces to Guyrush each time he walks past her. The episode even includes a competition of making scary pirate faces, or just downright dumb expressions.
Many of the puzzles deserve an honorary mention. Guybrush playing the part of a wingman to the giant manatee with the help of a manatee speaking horn was my personal favorite. As it happens the horn is a tourist edition and the player needs to figure out which available answer fits best with a female manatee's comments. With choices varying from "I have nothing to declare" to "I want to go to the theater" this is not necessarily an easy task. In a way the puzzle is a reinvention of insult swordfighting, without the grind. While many of the puzzles were amusing, Launch of the Screaming Narwhal's puzzle in LeSinge's lab remains my favorite in the series.
Lair of the Leviathan, with very little to complain about, is the funniest episode so far. At some points I actually paused and thought something on the lines of: "Damn, that was amusing". Perhaps because I was not stuck in the puzzles for as long as in the earlier episodes I also thought the pacing of the game was a lot better. If you have doubts about Tales of Monkey Island on the whole at least play Lair of the Leviathan.
(Here's a link to the walkthrough I used, from Roger Davies.)

A marble topped chest of drawers from France. Made in the late 19th century, and featuring flame mahogany veneers this is an exceptional piece. $1190.
Monthly Archives: September 2013
Balloon back chairs x 3. 3/3 sold.
Desk chair. Sold.
From the 1930's this swivelling and height adjustable desk chair is pure Maltese Falcon. It just requires a clattering fan, filtered light through slatted blinds and a perspiring Sydney Greenstreet on the other side of the desk. Oh, and a desk of course. Where was I.
Why even the brown vinyl is an authentic touch. $195.
Chest of Drawers. Sold
With a new top and skirt, there is only the main body, drawers, working locks (and rare to find keys) that are original. This authentic part is from 1920. The top and base probably less than 20 years old.
This neat little chest is in good condition and should do the trick for the next century ( or so). $385.
Depression Cabinet/ Chest. Price reduced. Sold
It is a little hard to date this depression inspired piece of furniture. It appears to be at least 50 years old and the cut out areas of the kerosene tins that make up the drawers have all been neatly folded. No Phillips head screws either, but we feel it is later than the actual Depression Era of the early 30's. anyway an interesting piece of salvage furniture.Was $195. Now $145.

This is the first of hopefully regular reviews of interesting and stand-out small press publications which i feel (in my infinite wisdom obviously) are deserved of comment and exposure. Feel free to contact me about sending something for review, but i can't promise if or when that will be.
So here is 'Eyeball Comix #1', which in the spirit of the underground comics of old, promises a heady mix of twisted horror, black humour, sex, depravity and shocking real-life tales.
For a first issue, this anthology shows promise. For my mind, there are two stand-out artists and stories. First up is Rob Amos with "The Treasure Of Slagg Rock"; an entertaining fantasy pirate story, which is the backdrop for a Zap Comix-esque depraved journey into the id.
The protagonist, a busty no-nonsense pirate woman, propositions two pervy sea-dogs to take her out to sea to find the fabled treasure of Slagg Rock. The qrotesque Captain (who looks like he's walked in from an S.Clay Wilson comic) dismisses the idea as folly, convinced that the old legend of the treasure and it's deadly giant underwater guardian, is just old witch-tales and rumour.
Nevertheless they agree to take her out to the rock, on the promise that the attractive piratess will "make it worth their while".
Without giving too much away, they do not get what they bargained for, and the strip decends into a banquet of grotesque bad taste; of sex, violence and bad puns.
Rob Amos' art is the main feature here; beautifully detailed and seemingly influenced by the work of S.Clay Wilson, Robert Crumb & Spain Rodriguez... Amos seems to enjoy drawing sexually dominant robust women, who have no quarms about cutting men down to size, and i'm not talking verbally here (his solo mini-comic 'Nicotine Alley' has similar themes). Not for everyone's taste, but as a lover of underground excess, trash and sleaze, i found it enjoyable.
The Second story I liked was 'Angel Dust - Assassin Of Youth' by the artist affectionately dubbed 'Paul Arserott'. This morbidly compelling tale documents the effects of the drug PCP, giving several examples of disturbing, horrific and rediculously stupid things people have done whilst under the influence of said drug, many of which were fatal... The stories seem just about believable, i presume they are, as opposed to urban myths. Who knows? Truth is stranger than fiction as the saying goes. Paul has a slightly cartoony but also somehow gritty and edgy style, a cross between punk album cover art, underground comics and perhaps even a touch of Mike Diana about him. He draws absurdity, and horror very well and in equal graphic portions, so that when I was reading the story, i went from thinking 'that's unpleasant' in one panel, to chuckling at the black humour in the next.
Other than that, there's a couple of nice filler pages by the above artists, and a passable story about a young woman's jealous love affair with a ghost (by Nuala Murphy), but the rest of the anthology i found mostly uninteresting and a little thrown together. That's just my opinion.
That said, i think that with tighter editing and more well written stories (preferably from the likes of Mr Amos and Mr Arserott), that Eyeball Comix will keep improving and help fill a much needed niche for contemporary UK underground comix.

What is The Gift List?
The Gift List is a brand of media lists. We specialize in consumer media coverage of consumer products with a special focus on the Holiday editorial calendars. We interview each media contact before we post their profile to the list.
Can I preview the list before I subscribe?
You can take a Test Drive of a previous year's list to see how it works. Fill out the form and a temporary Username and Password will be emailed to you. Login just like a regular subscriber. You will have access to last year's list for 72 hours from the time you registered. You will be able to preview the previous year's content and functionality, however the editor's names and contact details will be redacted from view until you subscribe.
How do I subscribe to The Gift List?
Click here to go to our shopping cart to choose the list to subscribe to.
If I subscribed in previous years, do I need to re-register?
No. If you want to subscribe to the current list, simply log in to your account in the shopping cart.
How long will I have access to The Gift List?
Regardless of when you order to The Gift List you will receive the entire product. If you subscribe in April or May, you will have access to the data as soon as we collect it. You will be able to take advantage of the earliest deadlines. If you subscribe in July or August, you will receive everything that's already been posted to the database from the very beginning. You may have missed a few deadlines, but you will start receiving new data on a weekly basis along with everyone else.
When do you start posting editor profiles online?
For the Print & Broadcast list, we begin posting in May as soon as we start completing interviews. We time each interview with the outlets right as they start planning their holiday issues, but early enough to give you plenty of time before their deadline.
For the Web & Blog list, we start publishing profiles in late summer as most of the sites have shorter lead times and don't plan editorial calendars as far in advance as print media.
When do you finish the list?
We generally finish the Print & Broadcast list by the end of October and the Web & Blog list by November.
How long will I have access to The Gift List?
Once we wrap up the list, it remains online for your reference through the end of March of the following year.
How soon after I order the list can I access the data?
As soon as you're done ordering your Username and Password will be activated. You can go directly to Login to access the data. And start pitching! If you subscribe prior to the list going live in May, you won't have access until May 1.
Who should I contact if I have a question?
All technical support and customer service inquires should go to email@example.com. Email is the fastest way for us to get back to you.
How many contacts are on the lists?
On the 2016 list we had over 1,000 contacts on the Print & Broadcast list and more than 700 on the Web and Blog list.
What kind/size of websites/publications do you have on the list and how do you select the media outlets you feature?
We have virtually every national and large regional consumer publication, national morning TV shows, and large daily newspapers on the Print & Broadcast list. On the Web & Blog list we also have major national websites and blogs, many with over 1 to 30 million unique users per month. On blogs, we only cover outlets with more than 50,000 UVPM. We have made several exceptions on high influencer niche bloggers, but those are unique.
What large companies are currently buying lists from you?
We don't disclose our client list as we have a privacy policy but we do have large national brands, publicity firms, and small mom and pop inventors.
Do you have any other relevant information that can help me pitch these lists to my company/clients?
Our list is the only curated holiday list that focuses on getting product coverage. Some other lists that claim to be competitors have simply pulled info from Cision and resold it. Our contacts have been vetted by our staff. We call editors, schedule face-to-face desksides, send out a bi-monthly Editorial Look Book and schedule time with them during our frequent product pitching trips to New York.
Can I share my subscription with other people?
No. Each subscription is for your office staff only. If you have a large company with multiple locations in various cities, each office must purchase a subscription. We do enforce this policy when we see too many IP addresses accessing your account. This also protects you from people using your account after they've left your company. If you want a discount on a multi-user package, please contact us for pricing. If you need more information about our terms and conditions, see the Terms & Conditions page.

Smoky woodfires scented the end of a kids' park play date, and now children's voices chirp loudly from trees. They leap, waving sticks, leaning close to growl make-believe battles.
My son races inside to grab a late supper. "Can I take my food outside, Mom?" he asks, wisping blonde hair cut close. "My friends have eaten already."
"Sure, buddy. Careful, this part of the plate is hot." I set his saucer on the front stoop, and watch him balance lemonade and cheesy enchiladas.
Summer has surrendered and fall has flown in! Sharpened pencils, notebooks, and mounding schoolbooks stack precarious in one corner of the dining room table.
And even though I'm the teacher, I admit it. I'm tempted to play hooky. Summer swim dates at the YMCA pool, gardening pleasures, and a slower pace still call me. As a mom and teacher, I'd love to hide away the schoolbooks and schedules, linger long over morning coffee tomorrow, and walk barefoot through wet grass to the swing instead.

You too?
But instead, I'll get an early night's sleep, brew a tall French press coffee, and pull up chairs with my fourth grader tomorrow.
My tall nineteen year old daughter is back in college; grown-man-son and his wife have graduated college and now both work full-days nearby. Youngest son scales trees and joins me most days at the table for fourth grade now, and my husband and I are trying to model this grown up life. Soaking in Jesus, thanking him for life and joys each day, we strive to be brave and watchful and responsible.
Being an adult is much like jogging, I'm learning. Both require the hard work of showing up and laughing at the effort needed some days. For me there is lots of self-talk, mixed with thanking God for breath, life, and his presence.
Crickets in dark sky and black tree branches announce nightfall. The front door squeaks as Daniel comes in, closing up for the night. Grabbing last minute second-suppers, he readies for bed.
I vaguely remember truth from yesterday and stand to riffle through stacked books on the table to find it. Then, there, I see it. Scrawled black gel pen copy words from God's ancient book: "Teach us to number our days aright, that we may gain a heart of wisdom." And I'm still learning what that means, but it helps me greet September, and school days, and the coming year with fresh eyes.
Join me? What are you learning and thinking about this month?

Playing guitar since 1964, Woody discovered his love for musical performance at a very young age. So far, he has played with a variety of groups within several genres of music, but has more recently stuck to Gospel. Since the fall of 2001, Woody has enjoyed occasionally touring with the Gaither Homecoming Concert crew. He says that it is such a joy to see the large arenas full of Gospel fans from coast to coast, and on other coasts! "The Homecoming Cruises have been phenomenal, and the London/Ireland trip was a blast."
Woody writes about his current performances:
"From my first note of Will the Circle Be Unbroken at the Atlanta Homecoming to singing Because He Lives at the empty tomb in Jerusalem to hearing the fans in Johanesburg, South Africa call us all by our first names, being a Homecoming Friend has been an honor and a rare blessing. Plus, all the ladies in my Mother's Sunday School class get to say 'Betty, I saw Woody on TV last night!'"
To learn more about Woody's extensive musical journey, visit his site at www.woodywright.net.
Woody's picks were made on our ultem pick material. Ultem picks are known for producing a sound quality closest to a true tortoiseshell pick. Ultem picks can be printed with brown, black or red ink, and Woody made excellent use of all colors in his custom design. Order your own custom picks today at www.claytoncustom.com!

This week's Pick of the Week was made for The Brian Davis Band, which formed in 2004 for a one-night-only concert to raise funds for the music departments in the local Catholic schools. That night was an overwhelming success both monetarily and spiritually and ended with a feeling of what's next! Since then, that concert has grown to an annual event drawing near a thousand together each year in worship and has raised nearly $35,000 dollars for youth music programs.
In 2007, the band was finding themselves more in demand for youth rallies, worship nights and church festivals. That demand came with a special call from God to begin to share their faith journey through original songs. As the songs poured out, the ministry continued to grow and touch the lives of countless Christians from their region. 2009 was truly a breakout year for the band; seeing their message spread to a larger audience, seeing their gifts helping the people of Uganda through a nationally released compilation album titled "Unified By Grace," making their first television appearance on " Lift Him Up Kansas" and completing their first studio album "Stand" which released in January of 2010.
The band is looking forward to the places God will call them to in 2012 and the opportunity to serve his people through their ministry.
For more information regarding the band visit them online at www.myspace.com/thebriandavisband42 or "like them" on Facebook!
The Brian Davis Band chose to have their picks made on our orange delrin material, which nicely supports their intricate black design. We loved the fine detail and creativity of their artwork. Brian told me that the design on the pick was inspired by Luke 12:24 which speaks of how the Raven, who has nothing, is cared for and loved by God. This passage intends to teach us that we, who have so many gifts, are loved as much… if not more. The Brian Davis Band has the same design for one of their t-shirts as well as on the front of their drum kit. To create your own custom guitar picks, visit www.claytoncustom.com today!
This week's Pick of the Week is for a band called Lover Under Cover. The new guitarist, Tor Erik, comes from Norway, from a band called JORN and they are about to start up some recordings in January. The singer is a very busy guy and sings in 3 different bands. Secret Service (pop band) http://www.youtube.com/watch?
MIKAEL ERLANDSSON, together with one of his best friends from early school years, MIKAEL CARLSSON.
You will find out that these talented guys realy will blow your mind out with metal as good as it can be. Screaming guitars, strong melodies and a vocal performance beyond devine. Ladies and gentlemen… I give you…
LOVER UNDER COVER !!! The first embryo of LUC goes back in time as far as 1982 when Mr E and Mr C were members in the southern rock act "Rain" together with one of Sweden's most famous ZZ-Top lookalikes, Bengt Lundh. Setteled in the beautiful arcipelago outside Kungsbacka in the west of Sweden we all remember those crazy nights with Rock n roll ( and a couple of beers ) during endless Swedish summer nights. After that Mr E and Mr C were separated for a couple of years. Mr E working with his amazing and successful solo career and Mr C turned out to be semi professional musician and doing a lots of cover gigs at the pubs in the west of Sweden.
They bumped into each other a couple of times during the years and allways said that "we should realy do something togeather" Mr E started up Last Autumns Dream wich not need any further presentation i guess, and Mr C started up the first version of Lover Under Cover around 1992 with Daniel Boscovic as a lead singer.
Mr C and Mr B recorded about 30 songs during 4-5 years before they decided to go separate ways, and now…. 15 years later then finally Mr C and Mr E got the time and opportunity to take of in the project they always wanted to do. A new colorful, harder than ever version of LUC. And the Saga continues……..'); The LUC picks were created on our black celluloid guitar pick material, which was perfect for their logo which has a black background. To create and order your own custom guitar picks, visit www.claytoncustom.com today!
We couldn't resist showing off these cute baby picks! If you are looking for a creative item to add to a baby shower, or a unique gift to give to someone with a new baby, custom guitar picks can be a great option! For the musician in your family, you can provide a gift that is both personal and useful by adding a photo like the ones shown to any of our white or black custom guitar pick materials. The picks in this image were both made on our black celluloid picks, which can support full color custom art work. The black celluloid picks are available in three different gauges; thin, medium and heavy. The backs of the picks can also be personalized with names, dates, etc. To order your own custom photo picks, visit www.claytoncustom.com today!
We wanted to show off an example of an awesome full color design for black celluloid custom guitar picks that one of our customers submitted. The design is pretty intricate and has a lot of detail, but it turned out really well. We love how the white and bright blue contrast against the black color of the pick. You can create a design like this on our custom guitar pick site: www.claytoncustom.com. Be sure to choose black celluloid as your pick material if you would like to get awesome black glossy finish picks like the one shown. If your design has any color besides white, you will need to choose the option for full color print. Great colors for black picks include yellow, bright blue, bright green, and red. Black celluloid picks are available in the standard pick shape, and in three gauges; thin, medium and heavy. Create your design today!!
Today we wanted to show off a couple designs that were recently created and made on our black celluloid picks. Black celluloid is a somewhat new material for Clayton…it was added for custom design last year because we discovered that these picks can support some really nice designs, including ones with varying colors and sometimes intricate detail. Black celluloids are a glossy finish pick, and we have them available in three gauges; thin, (about .50mm) medium (about .80mm) and heavy (about 1.0mm). They can support single color white designs, or full color designs such as the ones shown below. We wanted to draw attention to these specific designs, because the customers who created them used a "glow" effect that makes the text look like neon lights, which happens to show up really nicely against the black background of the picks. So, if you like the look of these examples, check out our custom guitar pick design site and play around with your own black celluloid design today!
Hey Clayton customers! We know that many of you are probably planning to order some custom guitar picks to give as awesome gifts for the holidays! We just want to help you be a little prepared.

Ok Clayton fans, Halloween is approaching, and it might be time to design some custom Halloween guitar picks! Do you have a special Halloween concert coming up and need some picks to throw out to the fans? Or maybe a Halloween party that you want some awesome favors for? Or, you might be planning a Halloween themed wedding! In any of these cases, custom picks would make a great addition to your special event! Shown here is an example of a great Halloween wedding guitar pick design, on our orange delrin material. Good pick materials for Halloween would include the orange delrin, black celluloid or glow in the dark picks. All of these materials are available on our website for creating custom designs. Don't wait until the last minute; visit www.claytoncustom.com to create your spooky design today!
Looking to add some variety and warmth to your custom guitar picks? Try switching your design color to brown! Lately we have noticed some very nice brown designs being submitted by our customers, and we wanted to show them off. If you are creating a custom design for our colored picks, you are limited to using black only, but if you are working with any of our white picks, or our ultems, you are open to a whole new set of color choices! Shown in the image here are a white delrin pick, an acetal pick, an ultem pick, and another acetal (left to right). The design on the white delrin is a full color, full bleed design, which means that the design runs all the way to the edge of the pick. The acetal picks represent both a full color and single color design. The ultem is a great example of how a brown design can look great against the tan color, since ultems may have black, red, and/or brown printed on them. So, if you are thinking that black is out and brown is in, try your custom design today at www.claytoncustom.com!
During the past month, we have noticed that several designs have been submitted for printing on our black celluloid picks that are in yellow. The most common imprint color for our black picks is white, and red is fairly common as well. After seeing these yellow designs though, we have realized that the yellow on black makes for a great color combo that is sure to stand out! Our black celluloids are a specialty material that we provide as an option for custom imprinting. They are available in standard shape, and three different gauges; thin medium, and heavy. They can have printing on one or both sides of the pick. Black celluloids work the best with large text, and clear, distinct graphics. We have chosen to display the picks to the right as examples of designs that have the right qualities to really come out well. If you like the black and yellow color duo, try out your own design on our custom site: Clayton Custom Design Site!
At Steve Clayton, we offer a variety of picks for custom design. One of the materials that can be used for custom creations is called ultem. Ultem picks are a favorite of our customers because of the high tone quality that they provide, and the grainy non-slip feel of the material itself. Ultem picks are available in three different shapes; standard, rounded triangle, and teardrop. You may also choose from 8 different gauges, ranging from a very flexible .38mm to an extra-heavy 1.2mm. Ultem picks can work with designs of single or multiple colors. However, when you design your custom ultem pick on our design site, keep in mind that black, brown, and red are the print color options available. Don't be shy to use all three colors in your design, because, as you can see by the image shown here, they all look great against the tan background of the pick. So, if you are looking for a classic look for your personal picks, give ultem a try!
Guitarist Juliana Tarter of Crimes of Passion has chosen to rock with our black picks. Juliana is excited to receive her new guitar picks and is very pleased with her design. A lot of artist like our acetal guitar picks but if you'd like to have some more variety in your picks try our black celluloids. Endorsed artists take advantage of the sleek looking custom black picks we have for custom. The black picks are great for fans and they provide a professional clean look with their glossy appeal. Although these picks take 4-6 weeks to make they are definitely worth the wait. Order yours today through Clayton Custom Guitar Picks. If you are interested in becoming endorsed by Steve Clayton be sure to send your promo package with important information you can find in our contact info.
Black celluloid picks are one of the newer materials that Steve Clayton, Inc. has provided for custom guitar picks. Black celluloids are a smooth material, with a slightly glossy finish. They are available in three gauges; thin (.5), medium (.8), and heavy (1mm). Most designs created for black celluloid picks are white only, so we decided to draw attention to some of the full color designs that have been created recently. We find that red is another popular choice for designs on black celluloid picks, and bright red stands out really well against the black background. Anything bold and bright will look fantastic on the black picks, such as the Simon Sez picks shown in the image here. Hot pink can also look great to add some flare to a design. Visit www.claytoncustom.com to play around with some bright color designs on our black celluloid picks!
We wanted to show off some of the recent glow-in-the-dark pick designs that customers have ordered. Glow-in-the-dark picks are still a fairly new item that Steve Clayton, Inc. has provided for custom design, but they are definitely a hit! Glow picks don't look that much different from other picks at first sight, but all you have to do is put them under a bright light for a couple minutes, and they are sure to stand out at a dark rock concert! Simple designs with thick, bold lines come out best on the glow picks, which is why we chose these three designs as great examples. Each design has a name and an image to give them the personal touch, but they are not overcrowded with detail. So, if you are thinking about designing some custom glow picks, have a look at the picks shown here to get some ideas! To design custom glow picks: Clayton Custom
Lately, at the Clayton custom department, we have been noticing some really cool black and white designs created by our customers, and we wanted to show them off! All of these designs were created for white delrin picks, and they have a really classy look. Using a full bleed black and white design can create the illusion of having a patterned pick, such as the pick shown on the farthest left. There is a lot of freedom with these kinds of designs, even though only one color is used, and they are always eye-catching. Whether they are for a band, a wedding, or a business promotion, black and white art is an example of how simplicity can often be the best way of creating an appealing design.
We have been getting lots of requests to put up pictures of our 2010 NAMM booth. I finally got around to getting them on here. We had a double decker booth this year with a lounge at the top. In addition we had 2 sound proof offices to conduct meetings in. As anyone who has ever been to NAMM knows, it is very loud! Without the sound proof rooms it can be quite impossible to get any business done, especially in Hall C were we are located.
Just wanted to give everyone an update on some of the amazing picks we are printing on our black raven material. We have been getting so many interesting designs, we can't help but share these with everyone. All of the ones I selected today show all kinds of different shading, effects and detail. One of the hardest things to get to turn out on a pick are flesh tones. As you can see on the Krakshi pick we really got the realism of the hand. Plus all of the picks have incredible detail. If you are interested in purchasing some of our black raven picks you won't regret it! They come in 3 gauges, .50mm, .80mm, and 1.00mm. Prices for these picks start at only $39 for 100 white imprint and $69 for 100 full color imprinting.
Red and Black always seem to turn out flawless together. These are some that we just imprinted this week. This combination is one of the most popular color schemes that we imprint. The Cherry and IRAL pick is a good example of what kind of coverage of solid black we can imprint. We often get many orders with a solid black background and just a name or small logo on it. We usually do not accept this for imprinting because it tends to not turn out quite so well and with past orders we had complaints about the outcome. Now we recommend that you do not imprint the pick with more then 50% coverage of a single solid color. The way the IRAL pick uses a large white imprint and some red with the black we were able to print it flawlessly. The Cherries use a little more black, but as you can see put together it's not more then 50% coverage so it turned out well too. If you are looking for a black background, we would really suggest getting our Black Raven picks instead. Speaking of black raven we should have included a scan of one with red on it. The red and white really look great on our Black Raven. You can check out examples of this on an older post of mine named Black Raven.
Every once in awhile when I am looking for something in my office I come across a custom pick we did from a long time ago. Just today I happened upon this Johnny Cash pick that we made. This exact pick is probably about 18 years old! Yes, very old. It is our Rounded Triangle Acetal (in Black) Johnny's signature color, with his signature on it in white, gauge .50mm. Johnny loved our Acetal so much, but didn't want it in white, so we had our Acetal material made in black just special for him. This pick is pretty hard to come by now a days because Johnny didn't use them as his toss out picks. They are the true picks he played with and loved. I have often seen this pick go for over $100 on ebay. So if you ever come across this pick or already have it in your collection, It was made by Clayton! From what I know most other Johnny Cash picks are either newly made fakes, or were his toss out picks. Johnny ordered 1,000's of picks from us until his passing in 2003. He actually ordered so often from us that we would pre-make the picks a head of time. So when Johnny passed we were left with about 2,000 of his printed picks that were made in advance. People who knew we made the pick have called and begged for at least one of them, but sorry we will not give or sell the picks. They were only meant for Johnny.

I would definately make these again! Though my suggestion is LESS SALT and I only used 4oz of chocoate and they were just right! I also use regular All Bran and they turned out perfect! I'm not sure exactly how many carbs per cookie, but I plan to figure that out before I make them again! 4 stars

Would make this again.
The cookies came out great. I used Wheat Bran instead of Oat bran and they came out great.
I also added splenda brown sugar.
How many carbs are in these cookies. 5 stars

Would not make this again.
The cookies all spread out into one giant paper thin mess. 5 stars

Would not make this again.
It needs some modifications. 375* wasn't hot enough in my oven. They came out golden on top and runny all the way through after 10 minutes. It took almost 15 to get them solid enough to stay together, and even then they were still runny. Bumped heat up to 400*. That helped some, but they were still runny. Also, don't pat them down like she says to do. They spread out too much and go flat if you do. I added a little more flour and they held together better. 12 oz of chocolate is too much. I added 4 oz and it was a lot.
Flavor is ok. The recipe calls for too much molasses and the splenda gives it a metallic taste and makes it a little too sweet, but the grainy flavor (not texture) is good. 3 stars

A close-up on Paris (3)
One trade fair, four stories – check out the most interesting news stories and background information from the Paris Air Show every day. Taking place at Le Bourget Airport every two years, the event is the largest and most important air show in Europe and a must-attend for anyone in the industry. MTU hosts a 300-square-meter booth with numerous exhibits, and a hospitality chalet.
"Engines for decades" made by MTU
MTU Aero Engines offers its customers a comprehensive range of products and services that covers the entire life cycle of an engine: from enabling technology research and development of materials, components and modules, testing and a wide variety of maintenance solutions all the way to services for mature engines. The company's capabilities in these fields are prominently featured in MTU's trade show display at this year's Paris Air Show: "MTU aims to make sure that its customers can focus their full attention on their core business, that is the economic and eco-efficient operation of their aircraft," is how the company describes its objective in an air show press release.
An eyecatcher at MTU's booth in hall 2A, the prestigious "La Rotonde", is the holography box that projects realistic images of a PW1000G engine, based on real CAD data, with a 3D appearance in a detailed, animated presentation. "In the commercial engine business the geared turbofan is currently the most exciting innovation. The hologram, the pertinent multimedia information and our original test module – a high-speed low-pressure turbine – attract many visitors and highlight our contribution to the success of the PurePower® program," says Dongyun Yang, who supervises MTU's booth.

My name is Erin Baker, and I am the founder and author of Blue Yurt Farms. My blog is focused on all things related to responsible travel, country living, healthy eating, homesteads, and farm living in general.
I got my inspiration to start this blog from my dad. I grew up on a farm in the countryside and whilst my cousins from New York used to say that we were from the Stone Age, I loved our primitive way of life. We grew our own vegetables, had a well for water, collected firewood in the forest and we didn't have a TV.
My dad was my rock, my inspiration and my best friend. He taught me everything I know.
Unfortunately, he passed away when I was just 16. It was a very tough time for me and my family but we got through it together and I'm the person I am today because of those 16 precious years I spent with my dad.
This blog is dedicated to him and the things he taught me.
Because I'm here to spread the word about living a greener way of life, and people need to hear this stuff as change is NEEDED!
Feel free to share my articles and follow me on social media to keep up to date on where I am and what I'm up to.

Comments from Alex Locust, one of the Superfest judges, in an article about the festival:
"I will say that "Awake" effortlessly accomplishes every criteria we were screening for during judging. I was enamored with how many elements of the characters disabilities were highlighted in such a short film and in a delicate way that wasn't forceful or blunt. The film showcases their skills as independent, blind women in such a finessed way that it both is subtle and unspoken while simultaneously being the focus of the narrative. The characters are engaging, charming, and complex; the acting is high caliber; it features disabled actors in disabled roles; and best of all the film left me feeling the warm and fuzzies without being too cloyingly sweet. It plants a seed to reflect on and is the kind of short film I would love people to cite as high quality work done by and for people with disabilities."

|Procedure: Ice-water-test
|Not Applicable
The ice-water-test (IWT) was first described 1957 by Bors and Blinn and it was thought to differentiate between lesions of the upper and lower motoneuron. In cat studies, it was shown that the IWT is a C-fiber mediated lower motoneuron segmental reflex and that these unmyelinated C fibers are associated with cold receptors. This explains the positive IWT in patients with upper motoneuron lesions. In healthy humans, the IWT is positive up to the age of 4 years and becomes negative thereafter since the reflex is centrally inhibited. However, this reflex might be unmasked by a neurological disease and/or injury.
Considering that C-fibers are involved in the pathogenesis of detrusor overactivity, the IWT seems to be a useful diagnostic tool in daily practice. However, although there are many studies published on the IWT, it is unclear whether the detrusor contraction during the IWT is provoked by the ice water or whether it might be caused by the rapid filling. Therefore, we designed this randomized, double-blind trial.

When last we left our heroes, the group boarded a train to Albuquerque, from there hoping to travel to Garrison Wells by way of Amarillo. While en route, the group exorcised the creature from Ruby and Father Seward, acting under the influence of the spirit inside him, stabbed Rufina and kicked her out of the train.
Father Seward gives a cockeyed grin and raises his hands in the air. Rex draws his gatling pistols and puts several rounds in Seward's chest.
Once Seward is immobile, Rex takes his gun and asks what must be done with him. As Ollie is still in the corner, and Ruby is curled in the fetal position on the floor, Rex's conversation is largely with David. David says that he thinks Father Seward should be left alive. Rex disagrees, saying that puts the whole party at risk. David says that if Seward is going to save the world and close the Hellgate, it's worth the risk to the party.
Seward is to be left alive. Rex and David use David's belt to secure his arms. Then, they sit and await Albuquerque.
About an hour later, Father Seward starts to awaken. Despite having been overtaken by the demon inside him, he recalls everything. He tells Rex he's a bad shot, and then rolls off the side of the train. Rex, unprepared, doesn't grab him in time, but he draws his gatling pistols and starts aiming for Seward's head. Several rounds are discharged before a blast of scarlet paints the desert and Seward's body slumps to the ground, lifeless.
Since Father Seward was apparently integral to the Devil's plan, our GM called game there. Deadlands is finished for now.
Since Father Seward was apparently integral to the Devil's plan, our GM called game there. Deadlands is finished for now.
So, apparently, Cobb's plan involved becoming mortal and being forgiven so that he could enter Heaven and storm the gates. He gathered certain people to aid in these affairs: David Hood and Ruby O'Flahertie owned the land surrounding the Hellgate, Father Seward was empowered by God and could actually forgive the Devil of his sins, and Jake was going to take the Devil's place as the new ruler of Hell. However, the Devil ran into a little snag: as a mortal, he was subject to mortal emotions, and ended up falling in love with Seward's daughter. When the Indians' ritual involving Seward's daughter didn't work, they savaged her and started carrying her with them as they traveled. Cobb encountered her again years later and fell in love, taking her from the Indians, raising her as his daughter (and also keeping her around as his lover). As such, he had developed a genuine interest in saving the world from the growing Hellgate. Whoopsie daisy.
(Of course, the Devil being the Devil, when given the choice between staying with his lover and declaring war on Heaven, guess which one he'd take.)
Anybody who is interested can go ahead and read Father Seward's backstory. For the record, he was heavily inspired by Jack Crabb from Little Big Man, and the Preacher from Pale Rider.

Only 45% of Websites Support HTTPS according to SEMrush report
NEW YORK, May 29, 2017 /PRNewswire/ — HTTPS is not a matter of taste, or just an SEO bonus anymore, it's one of the key user security factors, that Google pays huge attention to. So, today HTTPS it's a "must have" for all online businesses.
The conclusion of Firefox's telemetry on January 29, 2017 was that the half of internet traffic is secure, but there are still a lot of mistakes that can be critical for a website's success. To confirm this statement, SEMrush conducted research on the frequency of HTTPS implementation mistakes and found the 10 most common ones.
Below you'll find data on 100,000 anonymous websites that use the secure protocol and proof that fixing website mistakes can correlate with better rankings in Google. The first and the most important conclusion is that only 45% of the websites we analyzed support HTTPS. All data on the frequency of HTTPS-related errors was collected during the analysis of those secure domains.
Non-secure pages with password input fields
SEMrush analyzed a total of 100,000 websites (including some that did not use HTTPS) for compliance with Google's requirement that any page that collects passwords should be encrypted, and discovered that 9% of the analyzed websites still had insecure pages with password input fields.
Architecture mistakes
A problem with mixed content was detected on 50% of the analyzed websites, which means that browsers will warn users about loading insecure content, and this may negatively affect user experience and reduce user confidence.
One error that can occur when moving a website to HTTPS is that internal links on an HTTPS site can lead to HTTP pages. In a recent SEMrush study, 50% of websites face this pitfall.
Also, 8% of the 100,000 websites we analyzed (excluding the ones supporting HSTS for which this problem is not detrimental) had an HTTP home page that did not correspond to its HTTPS version. This can cause such problems as pages competing with each other, traffic loss and poor placement in search results. Plus, 5.5% of the HTTPS websites had HTTP URLs in their sitemap.xml.
Security certificate mistakes
An SSL certificate (Secure Socket Layer certificate) is used to establish a secure connection between a server and a browser and to protect data on the website from being stolen.
During a recent research, SEMrush found out that 2% of the analyzed websites had expired SSL certificates and 6% had an SSL certificate registered to an incorrect domain name.
Server Issues
During the analysis it was important to fix websites that had no HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) server support. The conclusion of the study is that 86% of the analyzed websites don't support HSTS. This technology is quite new and browsers only began supporting this protocol not so long ago.
In addition to the server issues mentioned above, we discovered in our study that 3.6% of the analyzed websites appeared to have an old security protocol version, and SNI-related errors were discovered on just 0.56% of the websites.

Firefighters from Greybull, Basin, Worland the Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management were all needed to tame a brush fire that engulfed a large chunk of mostly private land Monday afternoon between Basin and Greybull.
Brent Godfrey, the Big Horn County fire warden, said he got a call around 4 p.m. from a concerned citizen, alerting him to a fire burning along the river bottom. The location was described by dispatch as directly east of the radio station, which lies halfway between Basin and Greybull.
Upon arrival at the scene, Godfrey immediately called out Greybull and Basin firefighters and, fearing the blaze would spread onto nearby BLM land, also notified the Cody interagency dispatch.
The Forest Service and the BLM sent trucks, as did the Worland Fire Department.
"We spent until about 10:30 working on it, making sure it wasn't going to go anywhere," Godfrey said early Tuesday afternoon. "They went out again today before noon and have been mopping up the hot spots."
Godfrey estimated that the blaze consumed "70 to 80 acres" and said it was likely caused by a train with either a bad bearing or a hung brake. The fire consumed mostly private land belonging to Wilford Brimley. Some BLM land to the south also burned, he said.
Without the help from outside agencies, the fire would have been much worse, he said.
"That thing could have kept going down the river and we would have still been fighting it this morning."
Godfrey added, "People need to be extremely cautious when burning right now and they need to make sure they are letting the sheriff's office of the Lovell Police Department know before they are going to conduct any controlled burns. The fuel moistures and the fuels are extremely dry and fire departments are having to fight a lot of uncontrolled burns."
