LAS CRUCES, N.M. - After numerous workouts and discussions with his family, New Mexico State sophomore Pascal Siakam has decided to forgo his remaining eligibility and enter the 2016 NBA Draft.
"I think all of us are going to become cheerleaders on June 23rd for Pascal," head coach Paul Weir said. "We are so thankful for everything he did here and are looking forward to following his career,"
Siakam, a 6-9 forward, led the nation with 27 double-doubles as a sophomore. Of the 22 NCAA Division I players that averaged a double-double, the Aggie All-American was the only player that averaged more than 20 points a game. Siakam finished the year ranked in several national statistical categories, averaging 20.3 points (26th), 11.6 rebounds (eighth) and 2.4 blocked shots (32nd).
"First of all, I would like to thank my friends, family, teammates and the NM State fans for their patience and support as I made my decision," Siakam said. "I would also like to thank Coach Menzies, Coach Weir and the rest of the NM State coaching staff for giving me the opportunity to play for the Aggies and putting me in a position to succeed as a basketball player."
The Douala, Cameroon, native's 690 points this season is the second-most in Aggie history for a single-season while his 396 rebounds in 2015-16 were the third-best. It was also the fourth-best rebounding performance in a single-season in Western Athletic Conference history. He also etched his named into Aggie lore with the third-best blocked shots total in a single-season with 76.
In just two seasons in Las Cruces, Siakam recorded 1,126 points – which ranks 21st in the program's all-time scoring list. His two-year total in points is also the fourth-best in NM State history while his 658 career rebounds rank him 15th all-time.
The 2016 NBA Draft is set to take place at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, N.Y., at 6 p.m. (MT) on Thursday, June 23.
"Most importantly, I would like to thank the university for supporting me in my continued efforts in receiving my college degree," said Siakam. "My time in Las Cruces is not over though, it is my intention to continue my studies and complete the necessary coursework to graduate with my degree from NMSU. I was raised to value education and it is something that is very important to me and my family. Therefore, graduating from college will be the ultimate victory."

I watched the recent Joker movie yesterday.
Just wondering who's watched it? Like or hate it?
I'd probably give it a 7.5 out of 10 overall.

Re: Joker Movie
What's creepy and disturbing? I'm pretty sure you'd like it, the way it tries to unravel Joker as a person.

Re: Joker Movie
I thought Joaquin Phoenix did a great job as Joker.
I was confused by the letter Joker's mother gave him which came in the mail.
Who wrote it; what did it say?

Re: Joker Movie
I don't know.. just the trailer feels a little triggering to my anxiety... Perhaps I'll bring it up in my next therapy session
But yes, I most probably would like to see the Joker unraveled as a person. You know me

Three laggy hours with Conan Exi ConCona Conan Exiles
Conan The Teleporter
Oh, Early Access!
Sorry, just stubbed my toe. Yes, it's certainly worked in places, but goodness me if it isn't sometimes the most infuriating way of releasing barely functioning games for a fee. Time was it cost a developer lots of money to have their game concepts tested and QAd – now they charge £27 for the privilege. That's how much it'll cost you to get into Funcom's Conan Exiles [official site] right now. The store page describes a game where you discover ancient secrets, enslave your own army, ride around on rhinos, build entire cities – it sounds stunning. Right now it's a game where you're more likely to die because a menu won't load. [Nudey Warning: There are some pictures of naked characters below]
It's a risk, Early Access. A game's reputation can be hard to shake at the best of times – ask Arkham Knight. Deliberately launching your game long before its finished, and purposefully inviting people in while all the edges are jaggedly rough, is courting such a reputation to become attached, no matter how many caveats you plaster over it. And when you're a well-known name, a company that's been around for years with multiple MMOs to your name, it's hard not to consider it a little… dare I say unprofessional? Funcom, they behind Anarchy Online, Age Of Conan, The Secret World and others, have put Conan Exiles out there before they've got the server code close to ready, and the result is a laggy, broken time. And when you're charging serious prices for access, you can put your "Yes, but"s back in their box.
It seems that the term "rubberbanding" changed its gaming definition when I wasn't looking. Once it defaulted to meaning where racing games deliberately let you catch up with leading cars. Today it's more immediately understood to refer to Conan Exiles' largest problem – when latency sends your character kwa-pinging backward as they try to move forward. I've spent an afternoon watching myself teleport all over beaches, unable to do so much as pick up a stick, let alone begin my foray into surviving the barbaric wastelands. That or get killed by the seemingly invincible enemies that stalk the opening areas. It's not made a good first impression for me.
Appearing to be a very deliberate mix of ARK and Rust, Exiles starts you off as a nudey man or lady (here you get to choose, along with a character creator that lets you decide the length of your willy, or the size of your boobs) of one of a number of Hyborian races. You run around a sandy land of falling ruins and other naked players jiggedy-jaggeding their skitterish trajectories around you, breasts and balls frenetically spasming in the assumed wind. No players I've encountered have chosen to have anything less than the maximum length of penis, the great big thing lolloping around uncomfortably between their legs. (I opted for the smallest winky available, because it's important to roleplay characters very dissimilar to yourself.)
You pick up sticks and rocks, sort of waft your hand near vegetation, and quickly level up a few times to unlock crafting recipes. Then you'll have an axe, a pick, a torch, some bedding to create a one-time spawn point, maybe some rudimentary clothes if you're feeling modest, and then campfires, equipment to fix your tools, and of course the ability to build walls, floors, ceilings and doors. It is, to put it more briefly, every other crafting game.
History has proven that being every other crafting game can be no inhibition to ludicrous popularity and success on Steam. For reasons known only to the gaming angels, the community will latch onto one game in particular, irrespective of its quality, and it'll sell 800 billion copies a week. One assumes it's this that Funcom is after here, since Exiles feels deeply derivative within its genre, feeling more like a result of, "How can we try to make something else from this Conan license we're paying so much for?" than of an auteur's genius inspiration. The descriptions of features like, "Enslave the criminals of the exiled lands and force them to join your cause and defend your territory" and "use explosives and see their fortifications crumble to dust, then unleash your savage fury with brutal attacks that will see heads rolling and limbs flying" sound fantastic, and perhaps the most very dedicated have managed to find such things already. I've found the starting area, the first pool of water, and lag.
For large periods of my time with the game I wasn't even able to move off the spot, capable of jumping up and down and nothing else. Then it'll let me walk forward at last, only to keep teleporting backward to the same spot. Sometimes it eases up and lets you do a sort of 'three steps forward, two steps back' affair. At other points I've been able to move freely, although I don't think there's been a time when the monsters have maintained a steady gait.
Monsters are very aggressive, with enormous aggro areas, and your life at the start is very fragile. Which is to say, I've died an awful lot. There's one enemy type I hit with my axe maybe twelve, fifteen times and it didn't display any signs of damage, and it can kill me in three or four swipes. There are NPC humanoid characters too, and if they catch your eye you're absolutely done for. And these all exist near water, and you have to go to the water, so you're propelled directly into a lot of difficulty. That may be exactly your sort of thing – it's clearly desired in lots of these survival games from which I bounce. I would prefer to be getting on with setting up my own private little hovel of safety, at least getting a chance to settle in.
But right now, it's the tech that's more likely to finish you. I finally managed to live long enough to have built all the tools I needed, then collect the absolutely idiotic number of sticks needed to build a campfire. It's 50. FIFTY sticks. And guess what – you then have to add fuel to that campfire before it will build anything. It's tiny! Anyway, I did that, I popped on a couple of steaks I'd cut from killing a boar-like thing (who had apparently teleported to my location while we were both stuck in the lagswamp) and then couldn't get anything to happen. It seems it was trying to load a guide screen for me, but that wasn't happening, and I was rapidly starving. I tried to take the food out of the fire and just eat it raw, but then it changed the menus all back to the fire ones again so I couldn't, and then somewhere behind all this ludicrous screen clutter I'd died.
I wouldn't mind if this were, as MMOs once did, a free beta! If they said, "Guys, the game's a mess, we need to stress test it, get your feedback on it, so we're having an open beta that will stop working after three weeks." That's what used to happen in this industry! But instead they're charging the full price of the game (let's hope – making it cost more would be a rather daft move when Ark is £23 (£7.60 this week, by the way) and Rust is £15), and it's clearly not ready for the public.
We'll obviously come back to it later, once they've got their server issues ironed out, but gosh, first impressions and all.
Conan Exiles is out on Early Access for Windows, Mac and Linux via Steam, for £27/$30/€30.

A little while ago I came back from one of the best trips I've ever done: Goa.
As many of you have asked me, I do this post telling you a little bit more about the trip.
Always, from long before I started doing yoga, I had wanted to go to India but I never left the trip, for some things or others I ended up procrastinating , mostly because I could not find someone to do it with, so I decided to do it alone.
The good season to travel to India is more or less in our winter. From March it starts to get very hot and in May, the rains and humidity do not let you breathe. It depends on the area, the environmental conditions change a bit, in the north it is colder.
India is the cradle of yoga, it is where everything is born and breathed in the environment, in the premises, in the tourists … they are all very spiritual and full of places to do yoga retreats and formations and, of course, full of very good teachers.
As some of you know, I practice a kind of yoga called Ashtanga and that is why I wanted to go to Goa to practice in the ttc school of Sandeep. To go to this ttc school you have to do it by registering 3 months in advance, (Yoga Teacher Training Goa) you have to practice this discipline for several years and have it certified by a teacher authorized by them … and even then it is almost impossible to go there because it fills up immediately. They opened the applications and it took me 15 minutes to do mine and there were no more places …
You will practice Ashtanga style, that is, you do the series without being guided by the class (I will do another solo post of Ashtanga) and, after having gone several years, if Sandip consider that you are prepared, they authorize you to teach Ashtanga . There are many places where you can also train to be a teacher of Asthanga but it is not the same … it is clear. I think that all over the world there are only 400 licensed professors (they are all on the web but now it does not work), so imagine how they are, there is a leveling .
Next year I will again try to go to India later because I would love to be authorized there, although I still have a lot of practice for that, so with calm … each teacher usually goes 3 or 4 years to Goa until they authorize him, and from the first time you must have a good level.
I went a few days before I started the course to taste a little bit of everything around … and I came to the first beach and the one I liked best: Aswhem beach. I stayed there for several days working and doing yoga.
Then I went to Purple Diya Yoga: the plan was to be two weeks practicing yoga and doing workshops with Meera and his team of yoga teachers.
There we were a large family of about 25-30 people, almost all traveling alone, many teachers and other fans, of all levels, people who went to cows and others were also working in spare time.
I have loved the energy of people traveling alone, without expectations, so calm, enjoying every person, every conversation. Every day you ate with one, you dined with others … there was no group at all, we all went for free and did whatever we wanted at every moment … Super ambience because we all went to the same thing. There was some free afternoon in which we went to the beach or to the bookstore, to visit some temple or the markets.
I have improved a lot in my practice, it was the first time I have done the first complete series and I have added some posture of the second series. Before I had been unable and now, and it is because of the confidence they gave me that I could stand doing the whole series, and … even though I am not a morning person, I was there every day practicing at dawn.
After spending two weeks in the Diya Yoga in Arambol, Goa, I went to the south of Goa to learn everything I had time and practice in several places and I learned many places to train as a teacher or go to practice.

Pakistan were dismissed for 49 in their first innings – their lowest test score in reply to South Africa's 253 soon after lunch on the second day of the first Test at the Wanderers in Johannesburg.
Dale Steyn took six for eight as the South African pace bowlers ripped through the Pakistan batting line-up to leave them reeling on 40 for seven at lunch.
Steyn mowed down the Pakistan top order to end the session with three for eight runs as the visitors battled to cope with the pace and bounce.

You just landed your first job, but it's not paying very much and you know you're going to have to budget your money carefully over the next few years. Make the most of your salary with these tips.
Don't eat out. You've probably heard this one before, but it deserves repetition. It's tempting to eat out three to four to even seven nights a week when you're in a new city with a new job, and it's easy to rationalize it by telling yourself you're "being social" — but don't do it. A regular habit of eating out could mean dropping anywhere from $50 to $150 a week just on meals, when you could save hundreds of dollars yearly buying groceries and eating in. Don't want to sacrifice your social life? Invite friends for a homecooked meal, or find free weekend activities. Don't buy into the lie that eating out means you'll make friends faster — all that'll get you is a panic attack at the end of the month when your bills are due.
Drop a few subscriptions. Do you really need Spotify Premium? Do you really need Netflix and Hulu? Spotify Premium is $10 a month, so that's $120 a year — and if you've got Netflix and Hulu or anything else, you could be spending close to $300 a year or more on entertainment. If you've got a lower-end entry level salary, you might want to cut at least one of those subscriptions until you've figured out budgeting your money and paying your monthly bills. Even if you can actually afford all those entertainment subscriptions, try a couple months without them. You can always add them back later.
Avoid unnecessary "grown-up" purchases. Sure, having a TV would be nice, but you've got a laptop. Don't drop a few hundred dollars just because most other adults have them. If public transportation is available, don't buy a car — especially if you're moving to big cities like Chicago, D.C., or New York. You won't have to pay off a car loan, pay for car maintenance, car insurance, or parking. (Your budget will thank you later.) Those are just a few examples, but if you're moving out, start thinking about what you actually need to live and avoid the luxuries for now.

The Brick Township Board of Education failed to hold its scheduled meeting Thursday night after four of the seven members of the board did not make the meeting, producing a lack of a quorum.
The board's bylaws require at least four of the seven members of the board to be present in order for a meeting to be held. Board President John Lamela, and members Victoria Pakala and George White were the only members present.
An agenda for the meeting was quickly removed from the district's website Thursday night.
Lamela said at the meeting that he will speak with board members to determine the best date for a make-up meeting.

After a wild Saturday night which saw 11 of the 12 elimination favorites in the two and three-year-old pacing divisions fall by the wayside Super Night elimination battles continued on Sunday night with older pacers competing in the Ann Vonian and Dan Patch eliminations.
Sophomore trotting colts were also looking for Super Night starting spots as they battled in a pair of Su Mac Lad elim's.
A total of 25 fillies and mares were entered for the Ann Vonian Stake necessitating a split into three divisions. The top three finishers in each split along with one fourth place finisher (drawn by lot) received the chance to advance to Illinois biggest night of racing on Saturday, Sept. 15th.
The tote board lit up once again in the first elimination as Michael Gallo's Indy Pendent Bay came roaring down the stretch to win by a neck at odds of 54-1 for the red hot Ryan Anderson.
A recent acquisition for trainer Barry Langley this four-year-old went from last to first in the final half-mile as she stopped the clock in 1:51.3.
Fox Valley Glitz (Todd Warren), another longshot at 34-1, was a hard charging second while favored Nanny Withafanny (Mike Oosting) was third. Filly Finale (Brandon Simpson) was fourth. The two longshots teamed up for a $1,004.20 exacta payout while the winning trifecta returned a healthy $9,168.40
The "chalk" players were left scratching their heads again in the middle division as Sheryl Erickson's Bow Wow Wine came from well off the pace to win by 1 3/4 lengths in a lifetime best of 1:50.4.
Well handled by driver Brandon Simpson, this daughter of The Big Dog used a 26.4 final split to win for the third time in 15 starts this year for hard working trainer Tim Erickson.
Bobs Minute Maid (Mike Oosting) turned in a solid effort to finish second while pace setter Kissmekissmekissme (Sam Widger) held on for third. Utopianne (Dale Hiteman) was fourth.
The final division of the Ann Vonian elim's held true to form as Joseph Alflen's good looking filly Free returned to the local scene in victorious fashion.
Bet down to 1-5 by a legion of backers this year's third place finisher in the Breeders Crown easily wore down the leaders for driver Sam Widger pulling away late to win by a half-length in 1:53.0.
The win was the 22nd in the past two years for this daughter of Armbro Mackintosh who is now under the guidance of Kelvin Harrison. Heartland Charmer (Brent Holland) used a pylon skimming trip to get the place money while Nasti Nicki (Del Chupp) rallied late to be third.
Street Dancer (Dale Hiteman) will need the luck of the draw if she's going to become a repeat Super Night champion.
The state's top older pacers had their turn to shine as a total of 18 veterans locked horns in a pair of Dan Patch eliminations. The top five in each division return on Super Night to go for $125,000.
In the opener Redbud Stable & Michael Mcneely's Thisbigdogwillfight once again lived up to his name holding his rivals at bay in a front stepping half length triumph.
Confidently handled by Hall of Famer Dave Magee, this tough as nails four-year-old set all the fractions in route to a 1:50.4 clocking. Under the watchful eye of conditioner Jim Eaton this son of the The Big Dog has 11 wins in 18 starts this with earnings of nearly $180,000.
My Boy David (Ryan Anderson) followed the winners every move but was forced to settle for the runner-up role while Coldheartedrevenge (Brent Holland) came on late to finish third. Skippers Top Dog (Mark Saporito) gave trainer Kim Rinker a Super Night starter with his fourth place finish while Go Warrior Go (Mike Oosting) was fifth.
The nightcap provided a bit of a surprise as John Schwarz Jr. & Robert Silberberg's Joe Somebody earned a hard fought head decision over the two-time defending champion of this race King Johnny in 1:50.3.
Confidently driven by Del Chupp this altered four-year-old wore down the champ while first over and then held on gamely as King Johnny showed his mettle battling back in the waning strides to just miss getting the top prize.
Hot N Sporty (Brent Holland) came flying late to finish third while Third Day (Ryan Anderson) and Illini Monstermack (Todd Warren) earned spots with fourth and fifth place finishes respectively.
The favourites finally lived up to their billing in the Su Mac Lad eliminations. With a total of 18 diagonally gaited sophomores dropped in the entry box a pair of eliminations were contested with the top five finishers meeting on Super Night.
In the first split Mystical Marker Farms, Thomas Pollard and Dirk Simpson's Mystical Banker held firm in the late going to post a half-length victory in 1:57.2.
The 9-5 favourite was put on the point just after the quarter by driver Brandon Simpson and the son of Valley Victor was never really seriously challenged as he rolled to his sixth win in 11 starts this year. LF Topaz (Steve Searle) rallied from eighth at the top of the stretch to finish second while No Jokin (Dave Magee) was third.
Thundercrack (Sam Widger) & Spunky Vic (Ryan Anderson) also gained spots in the final.
Sam Bowie's division leader Before He Cheats gave trainer Dirk Simpson a sweep of the Su Mac eliminations as he cruised to an impressive 6 1/4 length victory in a speedy 1:55.3 for driver Jason Dillander.
This good looking son of Valley Victor moved first over on the final turn and left his rivals wondering what hit them as posted his 12th win in 18 starts in this his first season of action.
Vapor Maker (Homer Hochstetler) finished second while Oxford Brilliance (Dave Magee) was third. Sweet Willie (Dean Magee) and Fox Valley Isbi (Ryan Anderson) rounded out the top five.
There was elimination action of another sort on the Sunday card as well with 12 two-year-old trotting colts being sent postward in a pair of $15,500 American National Stake eliminations. The top five in each division will be back next week to slug it out for a purse of $115,000.
In the opening split Perretti Racing Stables LLC & Black Horse Racing's Muscle Mass put his name in the Balmoral Park record books with a 2 ¼ length triumph in 1:56.3.
That clocking eclipsed the previous mark of 1:57 for a two-year-old trotting colt. This World Record holder was handled by driver Brent Holland on Sunday night and the son of Muscles Yankee is now a perfect four for four in his career for trainer Erv Miller.
In the second division Turndorf Racing LLC's local sensation Maxter made it look easy as he teamed up with driver Dave Magee to post a 2 ¼ length verdict in an effortless 1:59.2. The Roger Welch trained son of Valley Victor is now 7 for 10 in his career.
With all the elimination action for Super Night completed the fields will be set with a Tuesday (Sept. 11) evening draw.
Saturday's Super Night card will consist of eight championship tilts and six consolations with all the action getting underway at 7:00 p.m. central.

Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher has slammed former Chelsea defender David Luiz over his performance in Brazil's World Cup defeat to Germany.Chelsea sold Luiz to PSG before the World Cup for a record £50 million.
Carragher wrote in the Daily Mail: "I have never been a fan, then warmed to him in this tournament, but that was as bad a central defensive performance as I've seen from someone at this level.
"He was running all over the pitch, failing to hold his position. Then went for the oldest trick in the book, trying to hurt German players to show the crowd how determined he was.
"He caught Miroslav Klose with an elbow twice, then took a wild swing at Muller in the second half - that was embarrassing.
"Certain centre backs are leaders, while others need to be led. After this game, it is obvious what category he is in!"

If someone is calling you and you press "End call", does that mean that the caller is "cut" off, or does the ringing continue on the callers phone?
If you press "End Call" you effectively terminate the call and the other person is also immediately disconnected.
If you don't want this to happen, you have to press the "hardware" volume down button to "silence" the phone or mute the phone with the hardware button (as far as I can remember). This way the phone will keep ringing but you won't hear it, and the other person won't notice it.
1You can also press the sleep/wake button to achieve this. The first press will silence the call, the second press will end the call. – jbharper2 Jan 28 '12 at 19:38
When you press "End call", you hang up.
No the call ends on both ends once either party presses end call.
The difference between End Call and using another form of silencing your phone (e.g., the volume rockers) is as you say: If you "End Call", it immediately forwards them to voicemail, and they'll know that you're choosing to not take the call. Whereas using the volume rocker to merely silence the call will let the call to continue on their end.

The reference to a possible trade involving Gardiner relates to the ongoing speculation since this past spring that he and Nazem Kadri seemed to the the Leafs in high demand, if the blue and white were leaning toward adding some high-impact veteran forwards to the roster mix. Whether those reports were remotely accurate or not, nothing has occurred along those lines. That doesn't mean trades can't or won't happen at some point, but I sense Shanahan wants to see this roster in action, and especially the kids, before anything drastic is considered.
Breathing a sigh of relief: in keeping Jake Gardiner, it's clear the Leafs are building around a mobile defense….

Hi Michael,ReplyDelete
Rielly will be, at least, a very good defensemen absolutely no question. He will be our defensive corner stone for a very long time.
Gardiners contract is very good,
But I am deeply concerned with Gardiner and Kadri. But we will concentrate on Gardiner now.
You talk about mobility but it is a bit like Carlyle masking his cycle with mentioning puck posession in the same breath.
Gardiners problem is his agillity. His mobility is limited by his lack of agility. He is very easy to read And if he will ever be able to play defense on this level is the other question. And your two concernes, the "wide circle approach" and the physical play are absolutely true.
And if he will be a constant force one day remains to be seen.
But as I said before, his contract is good and easyly tradable if necessary.
If Shanahan decides he has to do something in his top 6 he will have no other choice than trading at least Gardiner or Kadri.
I admit I had Gardiner on my must trade list after the season. I changed my mind on that but he has to show up now.Replies
Hi Marcus- I agree, Gardiner still needs to play well- and consistently. I think the contact is one where the Leafs can live with the number under the cap, and if he plays well, great. But he could still be traded if necessary.Delete
I like that they secured Gardiner long term. I see no problem with having two offensive minded players in him and Rielly. Quite honestly, it's frustrating to see a power play heat up with a defenseman like either of these two on the blueline, then see them replaced for the second unit by the likes of Aki Berg or Pavel Kubina. The one-two punch makes them more dangerous. Also, should the need arise to make a deal for a scoring forward in lieu of having both players, Gardiner is still expendable, and his contract is certainly not immovable.ReplyDelete
I am interested to see how effective either of them, especially Gardiner, might be in their own zone if the Leafs ever start playing in a tighter defensive scheme that everone but Toronto is playing in now. I've said before that Kaberle, and even Salming, managed to play a decent game in their own end without being overly physical. With the right pairings, I think Gardiner can do so too.Replies
You make a good point about Salming and Kaberle, Pete. Both had their defensive zone issues (neither was especially good in front of their own net; Borje flopping around, Tomas standing around while opposing forwards were in our crease) but both were outstanding Leafs nonetheless.Delete
Gardiner has skill and if he works on his overall game, can become a difference-maker.
Gardiner really has high potential, when he first arrived there was quite a lot of talk about his skating ability and speed with comparisons to Paul Coffey and Scott Niedermayer. The talent was pretty obvious but he had to get better defensively. I think the concussion set him back and he also seemed to lose some confidence because of it but he was the guy that turned the Leafs around in the Boston playoff series. It was pretty obvious the Bruins were backing up every time he was on the ice. A lot of people will want to disagree but Lupul said he had only played with one other defensemen with Gardiner's type of skill - and that was Scott Neidermayer.ReplyDelete
The other thing to remember about Gardiner is he only started playing organized hockey in high school and then as a forward. He switched to defence at college and then after 10 games in the AHL went to the Leafs. So not quite the same as playing in the OHL and then a few years in the AHL. Given his actual limited time playing defence as well as half a season missed with a concussion it is not surprising he still has a lot to learn about playing defence in the NHL.
I am pretty excited the Leafs have him locked in for five years and I would rather have Jake at $4 million than Subban at $9 million. I also don't know how anyone could think Gardiner somehow has a lack of mobility because he is not agile? He looks pretty agile to me - especially when he is carrying the puck the length of the ice and walking through several opposition players.
Many feel it takes 30 or more games as a defenseman at this level to really get a sense of what a player can become, Alton. So your comment on Gardiner is well taken.Delete
In terms of the agility reference, we all see things a bit differently. That's why we all have somewhat differing views in terms of how we assess individual players.
- AnonymousAugust 4, 2014 at 1:37 PM
I was worried, with Nonis testing the market on Gardiner, we would lose him. Plenty of teams were interested with good reason. There was even talk that Carlyle asked Nonis if Jake was being traded because it was way too soon. Good for Randy.ReplyDelete
More than drafting and development. I've always felt that the Leafs management have no idea how to evaluate their own players once they reach the NHL level. I thought this was their biggest problem in developing young players. Having to look to other teams for evaluation of their own players says a lot to me, whether it's common practice or not.
I remember Gus Katsaros mentioning Jake's pivot, taking wider circles etc. on a Hangout episode. That's something he can easily work on with Barb as long as one of the coaches recognizes the problem. I hope, with Shanahan and now Dubas in place, Gardiner will be a Leaf for many years.
I agree with Alton that there are many reasons why Gardiner needs and deserves a little more time. It's exciting that, as good as he is now, his is best is still to come. ColleenReplies
As you mentioned, Colleen, evaluating and developing young players has been an issue for the Leafs. Natural talent plus good coaching and a personal commitment to get better should only help Gardiner.Delete
Hey Colleen,Delete
did you reed my comment on your system thoughts?
- AnonymousAugust 4, 2014 at 7:02 PM
Hi Marcus! I just saw it. The Leafs build up a lot of speed coming from their own end, don't they? Fun to watch. I had noticed last year that they more trouble with teams who like to clog up and control the neutral zone.Delete
What do you think of the additions ie) Winnick, Booth, Santarelli etc? Funny, but my son wanted these players, especially Winnick. C
Yes they did, but not as a team in a formation. remember the games against Dallas or Colorado (or other western teams). They are skating teams, they start deep in their own zone a D-man having the puck all 5 men skating for the attack while moving the puck up the ice entering the offensiv zone as a unit. The Leafs are pinned to their own zone for a long stretch then somebody gets the puck and he skates, the rest following somehow. Sometimes he is behind the opponents D. Sometimes it is a 2 on 1 then they have a chance and if they do not score it is going the other way. Sometimes they dump the puck in. But they do not gain control. If they would skate as a team as I described before it is much more easy to make it through the neutral zone and you have more options.Delete
I like the additions. We have depth now. And we have a bunch of guys that have at least 40 point potential and a few more options in the middle. There are some question marks but a lot of these guys have something to prove. We added speed, skill, grit and some secondary scoring. Keep an eye on Kontiola, we have a real sleeper here. Let's hope he has no problem to adjust to the north american game because he really has the potential.
Kadri will have some pressure now and that's good too. Now there is some extra time for our young guys to grow. Exept from Holland I do not see anybody to fill a full time role.
Smart boy your son!
Winnik is strong defensively and can play center and wing and is strong along the boards.
Both has speed and can score. Santorelli can also play both wing and center and he actually scored more than 40 points in a season.
Intriguing will be what the lines will look like.
- InTimeFor62August 4, 2014 at 4:48 PM
Though I feel that Gardiner has a higher ceiling, he reminds me of Jim McKenny (while the latter did more 'stops and starts' in my recollection, it should be something that Jake can pick up when the situation calls for it... he just seems to want to use his momentum to get back on the defensive side - even if it's not always successful). He does take some 'risks' that can lead to turnovers, but it seems to happen less often than you might expect, precisely because he has such a high skill set.ReplyDelete
I've been hoping that we would see a JVR-type contract and then give him more time (than the Flyers did) to help him reach his potential. I find it hard to believe there would be NO interest from other teams looking at that contract! It would be great if we give him some time to flourish, but I do wonder about that likes of Columbus' Ryan Johansen (yet unsigned RFA) who really caught my eye when I've seen him play. He really has a high ceiling with some grit, strength, size and skill... with our pipeline of young defensemen, I often wonder if management is waiting to use a Gardiner (or Kadri) on a player like Johansen - there's a player that would look good up the middle! If you have to give in order to get, that might be the kind of deal I could live with...
Apart from such speculation, Carlyle seems willing to 'show him the ropes' and may just be the guy to help Gardiner round out his game... he may be 24, but he's still a bit inexperienced (with a late start and his early forward usage), so I anticipate steady progression for the foreseeable future and that bodes well to my eyes!Replies
There's no question Gardiner could still be a trade chip at some point, InTimeFor62. But for now, it's good that the Leafs will see if he can work on his game. (I like your McKenny reference, by the way. That may be more apt than my allusion to Brewer. McKenny was a gifted Junior player...many said second best to Orr among defensemen at the time as a Junior, but his play rarely seemed to meet his potential...)Delete
- InTimeFor62August 4, 2014 at 5:25 PM
You are so right about McKenny, he ALWAYS seemed to leave you wanting more (even when he scored or survived a foray in front of his own net on the breakout). I remember the comments that made him Avis (to Orr's Hertz :), but you often wondered if he was actually 'trying harder' because of his perceived 2nd place standing!Delete
I only remember Brewer during his Imlach comeback year @ 40ish, and he was not the player my Dad remembered from the 60s, so he may well be a good referent, just not one that strikes home the way McKenny seems to...
- AnonymousAugust 5, 2014 at 6:51 AM
People here seem to forget that Gards had the best possession stats on a horrible possession team. If you got the puck, it's much more likely to taken away than if you never have the puck. The game seems to be shifting towards mobile defenders like Doughty or Subban, so keeping Jake at a VERY good price is one of the best moves this offseason.ReplyDelete
Jake's giveaways may get noticed a lot, but to me the positives outweight the negatives by a large margin.

TVMDL is changing the way it administers the Texas Pullorum-Typhoid Program.
The Pullorum-Typhoid (PT) Program requires that all domestic poultry (chicken, guinea, pheasant, quail, peafowl and turkey) offered for sale, trade, or used to produce offspring for sale or trade must be tested for pullorum and typhoid and found to be free of infection. In addition, the program requires all poultry going to public exhibition or public sale to be found free of infection or originate from a certified clean flock. TVMDL is the recordkeeping authority for this program in Texas.
Effective September 1, 2017, TVMDL will no longer be able to provide field personnel to perform onsite pullorum-typhoid testing. TVMDL will move to a new program structure wherein private individuals will be trained and authorized to perform this testing. This model is used in multiple other states who have had great success in maintaining their pullorum-typhoid free status.
TVMDL will provide training programs for private individuals to become Authorized Testing Agents for the PT Program. Authorized Testing Agents will be able to test not only their own flock, but also birds from other flocks, locations, shows, and sales. All negative test results must be reported to the TVMDL Pullorum-Typhoid Office within 10 days of testing. Any positive results must be reported within 24 hours. TVMDL will continue to maintain records for the program and will maintain an online list of Authorized Testing Agents and their contact information for poultry owners.
Training for Authorized Testing Agents will consist of classroom lecture as well as working with positive and negative samples. Those completing the program will become Authorized Testing Agents for three years and must file an agreement with the TVMDL PT Office annually.
FAQ for Bird Owners
- Will testing continue to be free?
- It will be up to each private, Authorized Testing Agent to decide what to charge for this service to recoup expenses related to testing (i.e.travel, supplies, training expenses, paperwork processing time).
- How do I schedule a test for my birds?
- TVMDL maintains maintain a list of Authorized Testing Agents. Owners can contact any Authorized Testing Agent to arrange for testing.
- Can I have my local veterinarian perform this testing?
- Yes, but your veterinarian must submit results to the TVMDL Pullorum-Typhoid Office within 10 days of testing for negative results, and within 24 hours of testing for positive results.
- Can I draw blood from my chickens or turkeys and send it to TVMDL for testing?
- Sample collection and testing can only be done by an Authorized Testing Agent or a licensed veterinarian.
- What if there are no Authorized Testing Agents in my area?
- Email your interest to TVMDL to become an Authorized Testing Agent. TVMDL will notify interested parties of the next training date and location.
- For those only showing or selling poultry in Texas, TVMDL recommends owners contact the sale and/or show to inquire if testing will be provided at the door or gate. If you receive testing at a show or sale you will not receive any paperwork for poultry.
- What record will I receive from the Authorized Testing Agent?
- For annual flock tests, owners will receive a Flock Owner Testing Agreement form from the Authorized Testing Agent. The flock test and form are good for one year from the date of the test. This is the only paperwork required for shows and sales in Texas.
- For those only showing or selling poultry in Texas, TVMDL recommends owners contact the sale and/or show to inquire if testing will be provided at the door or gate. If you receive testing at a show or sale you will not receive any paperwork for poultry.

Sports journalists from more than 100 countries have signed a petition protesting the internet fee imposed by the organisers of the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow.
About 150 signatures were collected from journalists from 103 countries attending the just concluded 77th International Sports Press Association (AIPS) congress in Baku, Azerbaijan, reports CMC.
They are supporting calls by the AIPS to the organisers to reconsider the decision to charge internet fees for journalists covering the event from July 23 to Aug 3.
The organisers have insisted on charging 95 pound for wireless media internet service fee for journalists and 265 pound for photographers, which must be paid in advance.
Already accredited journalists have received invoices seeking payment for the internet services at the games.
The petition is a follow-up to letters sent to the Chief Executive Officer David Grevemberg and a meeting between AIPS president Gianni Merlo and Scottish Sports Minister Shona Robinson over the issue.
According to the petition dated April 29, the journalists all members of the AIPS, some of whom have been accredited for the games "register the strongest protest to the Glasgow 2014 commonwealth Games Organising Committee for the shortsighted policy for not providing free internet access for accredited media covering the games".
Internet access was provided free to journalists who covered the Sochi Olympics in Russia earlier this year and will also be offered at no cost at the World Cup in Brazil.

ANN. § 271B.16-020(1) (West 2009). The shareholder can inspect and copy during regular business hours at a reasonable location chosen by the corporation. § 271B.16-020(2).
The shareholder's written demand must be made in good faith and for a proper purpose. § 271B.16-020(3)(a).

Regulations covering emissions from construction machinery to be intro
29/05/2015 14:41:00
Regulations covering emissions from construction machinery to be introduced in London
Regulations covering emissions from construction machinery to be introduced in London The Mayor of London, Boris Johnson, has announced new regulations which will reduce exhaust emissions from construction machinery starting from September 2015.
The regulations will apply to all construction machinery with a power output in the range 37-560 kW and will be implemented through the planning system.
The air quality in London is frequently in breach of European standards in respect of particulate matter and nitrogen dioxide, however neither the Mayor nor the government have made dealing with this issue a priority.
The new regulations covering building sites in the capital are frankly rather unambitious but must still be welcomed as a step in the right direction.
Construction machinery sold in Europe needs to comply with rules which limit the emissions of various toxins including oxides of nitrogen and particulate matter. There are various different stages of these rules, each with a progressively lower limit to reflect improvements in technology.
The so-called 'stage 3a' limits were introduced between 2006 and 2008 whilst 'stage 3b' limits were introduced between 2011 and 2013. Since 2014 the standard which applies to new construction machinery is known as 'stage 4'.
Engine manufacturers generally installed diesel particulate filters to meet the 'stage 3b' limits, and SCR systems (which also reduce oxides of nitrogen) to comply with stage 4.
The new regulations which apply in London are based on these European limits, and are intended to ban machinery which is more than one or two stages behind current regulations.
The rules will be applied differently depending on the location of the site, with sites in the 'central activity zone' and Canary Wharf being required to use machinery which is no more than one stage behind the current European standards, whilst sites further out will be allowed to use machinery which is two stages behind the current standards.
Starting from September 2015, construction machinery used on sites in the 'central activity zone' or Canary Wharf will need to comply with the 'stage 3b' limits. This means that machines built before 2011 are unlikely to comply.
For major sites outside the 'central activity zone' or Canary Wharf, construction machinery will need to meet the 'stage 3a' limits, which effectively outlaws machines built before 2006.
Older machinery which does not comply with these regulations will either need to be replaced, or retrofitted with improved exhaust technology so that it does comply.
Further details about the regulations can be found by following this Link.

Highlights / General details
A professional guide will accompany you on a journey through the history of this mystical place, that will surprise you as it once must have surprised Mesoamerican ancient travelers who came from other cities of its time.
Our tour begins at Tlatelolco, today the largest archaeological site in Mexico City that formed part of the capital of the Aztec empire. Here was the biggest market of that empire and here was consummated the conquest of the Aztecs. Right there lies the Plaza of the Three Cultures where the prehispanic, colonial and present of Mexico get together.
The city of Tlatelolco was once connected to the North by a wide avenue leading to the hill of Tepeyac where the Aztecs worshiped Tonantzin, today better known as Our Lady of Guadalupe and is precisely here where we will make our next stop.
Today popularly known as La Villa or the Basilica of Guadalupe, is the most important religious building in all of Mexico and one of the most visited places in the Catholic world, which annually receives more than twenty million pilgrims.
The Virgin of Guadalupe in Mexico is not only a religious symbol, it is also a symbol of identity for Mexicans, it is no coincidence that the first president of the republic will be called Guadalupe Victoria. For all that the visit to the Basilica of Guadalupe is a must for believers and nonbelievers.
After the Basilica of Guadalupe in Mexico City, we continue our journey to Teotihuacan, "City of the Gods" which is northeast of Mexico City. On the way we will see the organized chaos on the suburbs of the city. Once in the Teotihuacan Valley first we will stop to recharge our batteries with Tequila tastings and other local spirits, where we also learn about the importance of obsidian for Teotihuacan ancient and modern economy and then give satisfaction to the body with rich Mexican food (food not included).
Once satisfied our palate and appetite we enter the archaeological site of Teotihuacan, here pleasantly the guide will tell us about the history of Teotihuacan, its mysteries, its development, its grandeur, its importance and its fall, then we will have free time for those wishing to climb the Pyramid of the Sun, Moon and walk through the famous "Avenue of the Dead".
Visit the great Pyramids of Teotihuacan, the most important anthropological site in Central Mexico.
Discover the Guadalupe Shrine, the most visited place in the world by Catholic pilgrims.
Go to Tlatelolco and the Plaza de las Tres Culturas to explore an iconic site of ancient and modern Mexico.

Most coaches I talk with are stymied by what I'll call "chatty clients". These are the clients who give long answers with lots of detail, dominate the conversation, don't breath between sentences, ramble all over the place, and don't stay focused on the topic at hand. If you let them, they will talk for the whole coaching session.
Be provocative. Break the pattern.
I first ran into this type of client when I was still in my coach training.
Like many of you, I had to submit recordings for evaluation and feedback. We were graded on a scale of 1 to 10 (low to high) based on our demonstration of coaching skills and use of the tools we were taught.
I was mortified to receive a score of "1" on my first recording! And, to be fair, my evaluator was being generous. You see, I had submitted a 30-minute recording in which the client did all of the talking. Yes, really! OK, maybe I said "Hello" and "Same time next week?" but other than that the client talked, non-stop, for the whole session.
I knew I was struggling with this client. I couldn't t get a word in edge-wise, wasn't sure how to interrupt, when to interrupt, or what to do if I did interrupt. I felt completely helpless and didn't know how to change this dynamic.
Is that how it is for you?
To capture that helpless feeling, I've created a variant on my favorite coaching acronym (WAIT - Why Am I Talking) for coaches who listen too much - WAIL (Why Am I Listening)
With more experience and the gift of listening to other coaches doing their work, I've noticed some patterns. While it would be fun to consider how we can change the client to be less verbose, I'm more interested in the coach. What is the coach doing that allows or encourages the client to speak in excess? What could the coach do differently to create balance in the conversation between coach and client?
If you have a chatty client, record a coaching session and listen. Listen carefully to what you say. Here are a few things I hear that encourage chatty clients to chat even more:
1. Ambiguous questions: While I love a question that is not only open but wide open (like What are you noticing? or What's important to you today?), these types of questions are also ambiguous. If you ask me what I'm noticing, I can share all kinds of things that I'm noticing - my thoughts about… well, just about anything, my emotions, my physical body, what I see you doing, the temperature of the room, the fact that the story I just told reminded me of another thing that is frustrating, etc. If I'm a chatty client, I could start down one of these paths and it could be awhile before you can get me to focus again.
Try this instead: Ask more pointed and specific questions that create boundaries around what you are asking the client to talk about. For example "What are you noticing about the emotions you feel right now?" or "Given the goals you have for the coaching, what challenge are you facing this week that you'd like to focus on?" or "Would you like to start the session by sharing your successes for 5 minutes before we start coaching?" Yes, these are more directive than the wide open questions. But, my guess is, the chatty client could use a little direction!
2. Restating what you hear the client say: Restating and reframing are great coaching tools. The client hears themselves in a new way when their coach repeats their words. However, I've noticed that chatty clients use these as a jumping off point to continue talking. After the coach interrupts and say "What I heard you say is…." the client immediately responds with "That's right and…" continues the story.
Try this instead: Resist the urge to repeat what the client just said. I know, I know… it's the easiest and safest way to interrupt a client who is talking a lot. I get that. But if it's just encouraging them to talk more, why continue using that coaching move? Ask a question or make an observation instead. Here's the challenge though. Your question or observation has to take them out of the story. An information gathering question won't do it. An observation about the story won't do it. You have to shift their thinking to something else, and that might require you to be a little provocative. "I hear you're frustrated with your coworker and that's causing you to act like a jerk. How does is it for you to be that frustrated?" or "I've been listening for a few minutes now and I'm completely lost in your story. What is it you really want me to know about this?"
I know these types of moves are hard to make, especially if you and your client have an established pattern of 'client gets to talk while coach gets to listen'. So first, listen to your coaching to see what is happening. If your hear ambiguous questions or restating that invites the client to talk more, take a risk and try something new.
Be provocative. Break the pattern. I have confidence that you'll know what to do; I'll be curious to hear how your client reacts.

Friends, colleagues and contemporaries
Friends and colleagues of Clara Schumann are presented in alphabetical order. Few of them are already listed in the heading "friends, colleagues and contemporaries" at the side of Robert Schumann.
Since Clara Schumann outlived her husband by 40 years, there will be also friends and colleagues of hers that haven't met Robert Schumann personally.
Most contributions are elaborated by Julia M. Nauhaus and are accordingly marked. Other entries are also marked by name. They are usually penned by the project manager of the network, respectively by the web project administrator, as selection and labeling of the pictures or the occasional references.
