Game Day Recon: Western Conference Final Game 5 – Sharks @ Canucks
The Vancouver Canucks have been here before, and Canucks fans all hope that they learned their lesson. The Canucks couldn't close out the Chicago Blackhawks in Game 5 at home. They couldn't close the Nashville Predators in Game 5 at home.
Will the third time be the charm?
Broadcast Info
Game Time: 6:00 PM PT
The Intel
The Vancouver Canucks can punch their ticket to the Stanley Cup Final, if they can finally win a Game 5 at home. In both previous series, the Canucks held 3-1 series leads and couldn't seal the deal at home.
At the end of Game 7 against the Blackhawks, Ryan Kesler said that he had never wanted to win a game more than that. Well, I think that game has been trumped. While Kesler has been quiet on the scoresheet, he's been really effective on the powerplay, causing havoc in front of Niemi and generally causing troubles for the Sharks. Right now, he only has 1G 1A in the four games against the Sharks, but tonight is a night where Kesler realizes that a win puts him and his Canucks into the Stanley Cup Final and he wants to show that his team has the killer instinct to win it all. Tonight is a night where Kesler goes into full-on beast mode and pulls his team into the final round. He has more will and determination than ANYONE on the Canucks, and I believe that Kesler will have his best game of this series, and possibly the best game of these playoffs tonight.
I also foresee a huge game for Roberto Luongo. He has been absolutely rock solid in this series so far, laying low under the limelight while the Sedins and the Canucks power play are both taking bulk of the focus. He hasn't specifically stolen a game yet, and he hasn't needed to yet. While the Sharks play for their playoff lives tonight, I would expect them to come out guns a-blazin'. That would, however, be a fairly drastic turnaround from the previous game. Certainly the Sharks had the bulk of the play early, but that was due mostly to the Canucks handing them opportunities in the first period by taking a litany of penalties. That said, while the Sharks certainly outshot the Canucks, they barely outchanced them. From the Copper and Blue (and Thomas Drance's Game 4 Review), the chances in Game 4 just barely favoured the Sharks 15 to 12. Keep in mind the total shots fired were 74-31 for the Sharks. So for all the possession that the Sharks had (and some of that was based on the fact that the Sharks had much more power play time than the Canucks), they weren't getting a lot of scoring chances.
And there you have the Canucks, who amongst their weaponry boast fear, surprise and a ruthless efficiency. The Sharks just don't have an answer for the Sedins right now, or the Canucks' powerplay. Nor do they have an answer for their speed and the Canucks have to use that as much as possible.
I have long believed that the team that can weather the storm of injuries has the best chance of winning, regardless of skill level. The Canucks lost their best faceoff man in Manny Malhotra. No problem. They lost Stanley Cup winner and secondary scorer Mikael Samuelsson. No problem. They lost leading scoring defenseman Christian Ehrhoff and AV 's favourite Aaron Rome on the same night. No problem. The Sharks just don't seem to have that depth or resilience to overcome injuries. Ryane Clowe is clearly still hurt. I'd argue that Joe Pavelski must be hurt as well. They've lost Jason Demers. And now they have Joe Thornton possibly playing with a separated shoulder. If Thornton, the Sharks best player through the playoffs, can't play to at least 90%, the Sharks won't be able to recover. Not unless Heatley, Setoguchi, Clowe and Pavelski magically awaken from their collective slumber and come alive tonight. Right now though, there is nothing to suggest that's about to happen.
For the Canucks, they need to weather the early storm. As TEAM1040's Jeff Paterson points out, in both previous Game 5's this year (both at Rogers Arena), the Canucks have allowed a goal in the first 5 minutes of the game. The Canucks need to come out fast, hit smartly and keep the forecheck going. And no penalties, please. Maybe, if the Canucks don't want to get behind early and don't want to take penalties, they should keep Tanner Glass parked firmly on the bench.
Can the Canucks make the third time the charm? This is the third straight series where the Canucks have held a 3-1 series lead at home with a chance to end it. They need two more games to seal the deal against the Blackhawks. They needed one more game to finish off the Predators.
Could they finally need no more games after Game 5 to end the series? Will history be made tonight?
The Three Keys
Here are the three keys for the Vancouver Canucks tonight:
1. Treat tonight like Game 7. The Canucks are talking a good talk right now, but it's time to put this talk into action. Using the current 4-Round format, no team has won the Stanley Cup without finishing at least one round in 5 games or less. The Canucks could use the break to heal, to regroup and to prepare. It's time to close out the Sharks.
2. Hit Joe Thornton and Dan Boyle… ALL the time. They've both taken big hits and are hurting. Thornton left Game 4 with an apparent shoulder injury after a bruising hit from Raffi Torres, and was somewhat in doubt for Game 5. That said, Thornton is a gamer and has asaid he is playing tonight. So the Canucks know he has a gimpy left shoulder – they have to exploit that. After all, Thornton has easily been the Sharks' best player.
3. Roll four lines… until Tanner Glass starts taking stupid penalties. The Canucks' fitness has been their ace-in-the-hole this series and they've used it so well. But if the Canucks put themselves down early, having to kill a slough of penalties to start the game again, it will take away their advantage. I'm looking at Tanner Glass on this. He took two STUPID penalties in Game 4 and he isn't playing his game at all. He's not hitting, he's not forechecking effectively, and he's not killing penalties. So why is he out there? Anyway, that's not quite the point. The point is for the Canucks to roll all four lines, to keep everyone fit and fresh. But the fourth line, as always, has a really short leash, especially Glass.

Not that I'm not still the proponent of a bowl of leafy raw greens once a day, I'll always advocate for that. But in household where that's routine, this plate of mixed peppers, hot from the skillet and salted, was a real nice diversion. The green peppers came from H Mart and were merely labeled "sweet green peppers". And indeed they were not hot--just two out of the whole package, and the rest were mild. Not as assertive as the wonderful Spanish Padrone peppers, but better than no skillet pepper ever again. With a Sauvignon blanc, it was a perfect first course, shared in a cuddle on the sofa while watching the evening news.
Something to look for if you have an H Mart near you!

Pictured above: Roya, or coffee leaf rust, on the leaf of a coffee plant in Guatemala.
During a trip to origin this past February, we witnessed the devastating Roya disease affecting the coffee crops in Central America, including Guatemala. Roya, or coffee leaf rust, is a parasitic fungus that deprives the coffee plant of nutrients which results in the plant losing its' leaves. Without foliage the plant is unable to breathe, ceasing to produce fruit and eventually dies. 1
Many Central American countries, including Honduras and Costa Rica, have declared a state of emergency due to this disease. On February 7, 2013 Guatemala joined this list of countries as Otto Perez Molina, the President of Guatemala, declared a national emergency. Nils Leporowsky, President of the National Coffee Association of Guatemala, known as Anacafe, said "out of the 667,000 acres of coffee planted in Guatemala, 477,000 acres have rust."3 That is 70 percent of the total coffee crop affected by rust! President Molina fears that in the coming years coffee production could drop by 40 percent due to this outbreak. 3 This would be devastating to the Guatemalan economy as coffee is the largest employer of labor.
While on our tour of Finca Pastores, coffee producer Hans Masch described how low coffee yields could force small producers to walk away from the industry. Famine is already an issue in Guatemala, and this outbreak could exacerbate the issue, as coffee workers will have less money to feed their families. To combat this disease, the Guatemalan government released $14 million to aid coffee growers. This money will "help 60,000 small coffee farmers buy pesticides and also finance instruction to teach them how to prevent the disease and stop it from spreading."3
While reading this article you may wonder how a crop disease in Central America is relevant; however this epidemic could possibly affect your wallet. Coffee prices are at a low right now due to a surplus from record yields in Brazil. However, coffee sector analysts are forecasting prices could rise later this year as the output from Honduras, Guatemala and Costa Rica will be significantly lower due to the rust. 2 Controlling the further spread of this parasitic fungus is a critical issue everyone in the coffee industry, including consumers, will continue to watch.

Amazon makes a lot of brick-and-mortar retailers nervous.
"They're increasingly pushing in-store sales online, where they're almost inevitably cheaper," Karl Heiselman, the CEO of Wolff Olins, told us. "Even retailers like Best Buy and Target have created Amazon price-matching policies.
Heiselman, whose consulting company helps build brands, told us five ways that major retailers are outsmarting Amazon.
By bringing the best of Amazon into their own stores
"Walmart recently began offering a service that lets people pay online and pick up in stores," Heiselman said. "Since implemented, more than half the sales from Walmart's website are picked up from stores." Walmart took the convenience of Amazon and found a way to implement it in its stores.
Making shopping an experience
"Retailers need an engaging offline strategy to get customers in stores and keep them coming back," Heiselman said.
Having better merchandise than Amazon
Target achieved this through its Missoni collection, an exclusive collection of designer-branded merchandise that quickly sold out. Heiselman also cited Target's "Everyday Collection" campaign, which "transformed a dull, yet necessary, retail experience into an energetic and memorable one."
Creating communities that provide editorial content
This could exist through consumer reviews and more. The retailers could also include professional editorial reviews, along with a way for customers to easily buy the product, Heiselman said.
Make employees happy
"Costco is known for nailing this," Heiselman said. "The average employee earns twice that of Walmart, and as a result they see lower turnover and better-trained staff." Great customer service is a key way for retailers to beat Amazon, so keeping employees happy is important.

Who is this for?
People grow up with all kinds of misconceptions about love, sex and relationships that bring struggle,
confusion, drama, dillema, deception and loneliness. Here are the top 7 misconceptions. Check the box
next to the ones that apply to you.
Some people consider that there is only one relationship that matters in their life. Even if you are
married, you also have your relationships with yourself, your relationships with friends and your relationships
with strangers. You may have sex with only one woman for a long period of time if this is what you want,
but you will still love and interact with many women unless you live isolated. The richness and abundance
of life comes from loving and interacting with many people.
Religions made many people believe that sex is dirty. Even though most people now went away from these
religions, the beliefs around sexuality are still deeply ingrained in people's unconscious minds. Many
people in the Western world get very uptight whenever you talk about sexuality and women are viewed
as sluts if they express their sexuality. Maybe you are also uncomfortable expressing your sexuality.
The truth is, sexuality is a very spiritual experience and it is unhealthy NOT to have sex for too long.
This is another deeply ingrained belief around sexuality. The truth is, some long-term relationships
can be superficial while some one-nights can be very profound. The depth of a relationships depends
on the emotional and energetic interaction between two or more people, not on the amount of time they
are together. A passionate one-night may very well be what two people need in the present moment to
What does it mean to get to know someone? To know all the logical information about his or her name,
age and job, or to feel his or her inner strength, weaknesses, passion and integrity? You can get to
know someone more in a minute of presence than in a year of mental discussions. The best way to really
get to know a woman is by sleeping with her.
Many men have the fantasy of having a three-some with gorgeous porn stars. Those who tried it reported
that it looks better on pictures than in reality. Sex is an emotional and energetic experience. The
quality of sex depends on how much energy circulates through the souls and bodies. If you sleep with
a porn star who has a very nice facade but who is completely disconnected from her emotions and soul,
sex will be flat. Sex is most passionate with women who are deeply connected with their emotions and
who authentically express their femininity.
Lots of people, especially women, try to get commitment to make a relationship work. The synergy, polarity
and complimentariness is what brings two people together and holds the relationship. When a relationship
doesn't have this effortless synergy and they try to keep it together through a commitment, it's only
a matter of time before they break up and sometimes end up in a court of law like we see too often.
If a relationship won't work without commitment, it won't work with commitment either.
The more experience you have with another person, the more intense the exchange of energy becomes. If
you follow a spiritual path, both of you grow in maturity, experience and intensity over the years.
The synergy and polarity keeps deepening with time. This applies when you have the right partner.
If you checked several boxes, what follows will have a profound impact in your life.
Do you want authenticity, empowerment and freedom in your love life?
Authentic Attraction will help you uncover your authentic self to connect with
women on four different levels. It is for men who believe something is missing in how men and women
relate and who want to empower and deepen their relationships. Authentic Attraction
will not only bring more intimacy and peace of mind with one or several
women you love. It will also empower your relationships with friends, family, coworkers, strangers and
that hot blonde who used to keep you just as a friend.

Obama Invites Leaders to Address 'Fiscal Cliff'
President Obama invited congressional leaders to the White House next week to begin talks to avoid the so-called fiscal cliff. WSJ's Damian Paletta and former member of the House Budget Committee, Bill Frenzel join digits to discuss.

Q & A With Michael Parkhurst
In an era of big centerbacks, Michael Parkhurst has established a solid professional career in the middle of central defense using brains, speed and skill. Making his debut for the full National Team in 2007, he has earned nine caps and was part of the team that captured the 2007 CONCACAF Gold Cup title. Parkhurst also had the honor of representing the United States at the 2008 Olympic Games as one of three overage players. After honing his skills in Major League Soccer as a defender for the New England Revolution, the Providence, R.I., native moved to Denmark to sign with FC Nordsjaelland. Now in his fourth season in the Danish Superligaen, Parkhurst is enjoying life in Copenhagen and is taking advantage of every chance he gets to play for the United States.
ussoccer.com: It's been a while since U.S. fans have had a chance to catch up on your career. How's life these days?
Michael Parkhurst: "Life is good. Life is crazy. Outside of football, I've got two little kids now, so it's busy. Football-wise, things are going really well. It's the best since I've been there. We've got a new coach, so things have changed a little bit in the past six months. We've brought in a couple veteran-type players, and they've come into the lineup and really helped us out. Things are just going our way."
ussoccer.com: How have you enjoyed the football in Denmark?
MP: "I really enjoy it. It's a good style of play, and the level is really high. It's a little different from MLS in the sense that teams play so much differently from top to bottom. Some teams play really good soccer, and some teams just play more physical and try to get their points that way. There's a wide range of styles of play, and tactics is a big part of it."
ussoccer.com: Do you feel playing in the Danish league has made you more cultured as a player?
MP: "I do. I think I've learned a lot, as far as tactics alone, different styles of play, different ways to go about the game – attacking and defensively. It's really opened my eyes to how the game can be played. There are so many different ways and everything that goes into it. In New England, we kind of just focused on ourselves and played one way every time we went out there. Now we dissect the game a little bit more, and we vary things depending on the opponent. It's opened my eyes a little bit."
ussoccer.com: Many players have gone to Scandinavia and established careers and even leadership positions at their clubs – Clarence Goodson being a great example at Brondby. Do you feel you have reached that point at your club?
MP: "My role has definitely grown. I am one of the older guys on the team, probably the top four or five older guys on the team, so I think the coach definitely looks at me to take on more of a leadership role. I've never been a real big leader or a big talker – I try to lead by example. As far as talking a lot and rallying the guys, it's not in my persona, but it's definitely something that I'm trying to work on a little bit. I'm trying to teach some of the younger guys things that I've learned along the way because we do have a lot of younger guys on the team. Things are going well right now, but they don't know how fast things can change."
When it comes to leadership, is the Danish mentality different from the American mentality?
MP: "I wouldn't say so. Brondby is a big club, and they didn't hesitate to pull the trigger on Clarence and make him the captain. He was only there maybe six months before he became captain, so I don't think that they look at it too much differently than we do –someone who's willing to be a spark for the team and lead not only in the locker room but on the field and lead by example. They put a lot of stress on their captain. They're scrutinized a lot, as far as interviews before and after the game. If things are going well, it's good for the captain. If things aren't going well, it's a tough role because the captain has got to be the one who's the voice of the team, and it's a difficult situation. I guess that's part of it, though. As the captain, you need to do that to take some of the pressure off of the other guys."
ussoccer.com: How's your Danish coming along?
MP: "Very, very slowly. I understand most of the things that are said on the field, just from repetition, but I wouldn't be able to have a conversation with a Dane off the field at all."
ussoccer.com: You have two young kids now. What's it like raising a family in Denmark?
MP: "It's difficult. It's difficult being away from family. We've got two kids under two, but that's what we wanted. We wanted our kids close together, but it's definitely a full-time job – full-time for my wife, and full-time when I'm away from soccer. But we love it. They're great kids, and they make it easy for us. At times it's difficult because you never get a break. There's no parents to take them for a night so we can get out, so you miss that."
What are the fans like at your club?
MP: "Unfortunately, we don't have a huge fan base. We probably only get about 5,000 for our home games. Although it's slowly increasing because the team's doing better, we just struggle for fans because the other Copenhagen teams are so much bigger than us. Brondby and FC Copenhagen are the two big teams in the league, and pretty much everyone from Copenhagen supports one of those two teams. We're about 15 minutes outside the city in a small community, so our fans are based from there. The fans that do come, they are your normal fans in Europe – they're supportive, and they try to be as loud as possible. We appreciate their support, of course, but at the same time, it's nice when we play Copenhagen and Brondby, and they bring their fans to our stadium. It's a lot more fun to play in front of a good crowd."
ussoccer.com: You've been a part of the National Team pool for a number of years. Do you follow the team when you're with your club?
MP: "Of course I follow the team, even if I'm not involved, because you want to stay up to date with everything – who's coming in, who's going out, different players, the coaching staff and the way the team plays – so that you're prepared when you do get the call. So of course I follow it, but I definitely don't stress about getting called up anymore. It's out of my hands, and whatever's going to happen is going to happen. I hope to get called in every time, but I know that's not going to happen. I just focus on my club play, and I know that if I'm doing well over there, eventually I'll get a chance. I need to take advantage of the chances I get because I'm getting a little older, and who knows how many more chances I'll get? I'm here to do that and have fun. I think that when I was a little younger, I was stressed out about when I came into the National Team, and now that I'm older, I'm a little more relaxed and laid back about it. Hopefully that will help me."
ussoccer.com: This camp is a difficult three weeks, and then you go right back to Denmark. You could have turned it down and said, 'This isn't for me,' but you're here.
MP: "Definitely. It's still the National Team, and it's still the ultimate goal. Sure, the big players from Europe aren't involved, but it's still a chance to play in front of the coaching staff for two and a half weeks straight. You don't get that opportunity very often, so I look at it as a huge positive for that aspect alone. Plus it keeps me out of the cold in Denmark for an extra three weeks, so that helps!"
ussoccer.com: Even though this is a new coaching staff, does having previous experience in January camps help you prepare and not stress out when you come into a situation like this?
MP: "I think a little bit. You try to come in as fit as possible because you know it's a very difficult camp, and you want to come in with a base in fitness. The experience helps in knowing how long the camp lasts, and sometimes it drags after a week or 10 days. It can be long, and you just have to stay with it mentally and not let it drag on you and be prepared mentally every day for training. That's a big part of it, just to stay focused and stay hungry. I think it helps that we have two games this year, so it's a little bit less training every day. We've got two games to prepare for. That will be fun."
ussoccer.com: Knowing Jurgen's philosophy and seeing the team's style of play, do you feel that it has opened a window for you?
MP: "I hope so. I know the 4-3-3; it's the same formation that we play with my club team. I think keeping the ball out of back is important, and obviously that's one of my strengths. Being a smaller guy, I have to play to my strengths and bring those qualities to the team, and one of the things is definitely playing out of the back. I hope I'm able to do that to a high level during camp, and hopefully Jurgen will appreciate that. But it's a little bit different of a style than Bob [Bradley] had, and I haven't been able to play in the system under Jurgen yet, so I'm looking forward to getting that chance and seeing up-close how he wants us to play and how I can fit in and hopefully help the team."
ussoccer.com: We've blogged about your reunion with Jeff Larentowicz. Does seeing him bring back good memories?
MP: "Yeah, definitely. We had a lot of good years in New England. We were just reminiscing at dinner tonight, talking about Taylor [Twellman] and how he used to crack jokes, him and [Steve] Ralston and [Pat] Noonan together. We had a great time. It was four good years that Jeff and I had together. We had a good team, and unfortunately we didn't have an MLS Cup to look back on, but it was a good four years. We had a lot of fun. Obviously things aren't the same in New England these days, which is a shame, but it was fun to be a part of."
ussoccer.com: You're also representing Rhode Island and Bayside FC Bolts with Geoff Cameron ...
MP: "No doubt. Geoff and I go way back, too. He's from just outside Rhode Island, but he considers himself a Rhode Island guy, I think. It's a small state, so it's nice that we were both able to get as far as we have. To meet up on a stage like this with the National Team, it's nice for the club. Bayside was a great club. That's where I learned to have fun with soccer. That's where it all started for both of us. Winning trophies and playing indoor soccer and just loving it, like every little kid does. Playing six games in two days and not being tired and going out there all the time. Those days were a lot of fun. Luckily I'm still able to do it 20 years later, and I'm still having fun. Thankfully I was able to be a part of that club."

Ignatian spirituality is a way of following Jesus Christ based on the charism of St. Ignatius of Loyola, the founder of the Society of Jesus, also known as the Jesuits. As a result of his own conversion experience, Ignatius felt inspired to know and love Jesus in a deeply personal and intimate way. Ignatius began to pray, to talk and to listen to God, and to pay attention to the movements of his heart, his desires, and his senses, as he felt led to follow and serve God.
Ignatian spirituality is an incarnational spirituality. Ignatius uses our human bodies as sources of wisdom, discernment and revelation, and he views the world as our space to serve with grace, respect and inquiry. Ignatius invites us to view what is possible in all things of the world, and he invites us to imagine the possibilities of our own vocations as true contemporary disciples of Jesus Christ. Values commonly found in Ignatian spirituality are core values of the Gospel, such as authenticity, integrity, courage, love, forgiveness, hope, healing, service and justice.
The living of Ignatian values through the charism of Ignatian spirituality involves an orientation towards serving Christ in the world using Ignatius's tools of the Spiritual Exercises, including prayer, contemplation, spiritual direction, discernment and the daily Examen of Consciousness. Ignatian spirituality leads to a desire to find God in all things, often leading those followers to feel a sense of being "Contemplatives in Action" for Christ.

The Arterial Slow Zone program is one of 63 proposals included in a report released in February on the city's Vision Zero initiative, which aims to end traffic deaths and injuries on New York City streets.
While arterials make up only 15 percent of the total mileage of the city, they have accounted for about 60 percent of pedestrian fatalities.
"Vision Zero is a commitment made for safer streets and roadways by our Mayor Bill de Blasio. The epidemic of traffic fatalities and injuries are unacceptable," NYPD Chief of Transportation Thomas Chan said. "Our city agencies are working hard to achieve these ends."
Between 2008 and 2012, Atlantic Avenue saw 25 deaths, including the deaths of 13 pedestrians. DOT hopes that a combination of timed lights, police enforcement and a lowered speed limit — from 30 to 25 mph — on Atlantic Avenue, and eventually on 24 other arterials, will help reduce this number.
The 7.6 mile stretch of Atlantic Avenue that is undergoing changes runs from the waterfront all the way to 76th Street in the Woodhaven section of Queens.
Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams applauded DOT Commissioner Polly Trottenberg and de Blasio on their quick development and implementation of the Vision Zero initiative.
"Brooklyn and Queens have the unfortunate title of having the largest percentage of […] deaths due to vehicle accidents. We don't want that title," Adams said. "We want to send a large message that Atlantic Avenue is the beginning of many other important arteries that will slow down to ensure that we save lives."
In addition to the arterial slow zones, Commissioner Trottenberg discussed adding more speed cameras throughout the boroughs.
In January, DOT launched a new speed camera program, placing five cameras in the Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens and Staten Island. The cameras catch motorists driving more than 10 mph above the speed limit.
A spokesperson from DOT said that since the program started, the five cameras have caught over 14,500 speed violations. The tickets issued from these violations are $50 each.
Trottenberg pointed out, however, that tight state law restrictions limit where and when these cameras can be used. Currently cameras are only allowed on streets adjacent to schools or within a half-mile of a school, and they can only be turned on between 7 a.m. and 4:10 p.m., during school hours.
The state has authorized 20 cameras to be used in New York City, and while Trottenberg said, ideally, there would be local control over where and when speed cameras could be used, DOT is looking into areas that meet the criteria needed to use the 15 other authorized cameras.
Amy Cohen, a representative from Families for Safe Streets — whose members consist of people who have loved ones who have been killed or injured in traffic accidents — attended the press conference announcing the Atlantic Avenue slow zone.
Cohen's son Sammy was just shy of 13 when he was hit and killed by a van on Oct. 8 of this past year. Sammy was waiting for a friend to pick him up for soccer practice when his ball rolled out into the street. Chasing after it, cars in one direction stopped for Sammy. The driver of the van admitted he saw the ball and the stopped traffic, but could not stop quickly enough.
"If he had been driving slower, he would have been able to stop," his mother said.
Cohen held back tears as she expressed the sorrow of losing her child, representative of the sadness all members of Families for Safe Streets have experienced.
She called on the city to continue to work hard to make its streets safe, saying the Atlantic Avenue slow zone is "a positive step, but it's only a first step."
"We envision a city where pedestrians, bicyclists and vehicles safely coexist and children and adults can freely travel without risk of harm, where no loss of life in traffic is acceptable," Cohen said on behalf of Families for Safe Streets. "I have come here today to remind everyone of the urgency of this work and to plead with you to do everything in your power to rapidly implement Vision Zero."

Government Pork, by Karina Fabian
Once there was a wonderful town full of people who loved to eat, and many wonderful and varied restaurants that served excellent food: Italian and French, Japanese and Mongolian, Middle Eastern and even a kosher delicatessen. Not everyone liked every restaurant, of course, and some people even thought particular restaurants were odd, but they appreciated the variety available to all.
There were also a lot of pig farmers in the area, and people enjoyed the fresh pork. One year, they had a mayor who loved fresh pork. He thought it was the right of everyone in the town to have pork at any meal they wanted. "Why," he'd say," if there was only one meal I could give my kids, it'd be pork chops!" Of course, lots of the people loved pork as well, and they applauded his enthusiasm.
One day he sat in his office, thinking about how much he and others liked pork, and he decided that every restaurant should serve pork, at every meal. Oh, maybe not every individual would want to eat pork, but they deserved the right to have it on their plate so they could choose! And so, he set out a decree that all restaurants would serve some form of pork in every meal.
Well, the delicatessen and the Middle Eastern restaurant were upset by this. They couldn't serve pork—it was against their religions. So they went to the Mayor and asked to be excused from this rule. "After all," they said, "people know we never serve pork."
"But you should. People have the right to pork. Some of you customers eat pork. Even some of your employees enjoy a good ham!"
"And if they wish to, they may–but not in our restaurants," the owners said. "It's against the kind of restaurants we are to serve pork. And we have customers who do not want pork, who would be offended and do not want to pay for pork."
"Well, I'm offended that you won't serve it—and I'm sure other pork lovers agree that your attitude is most disagreeable."
"Our customers and our employees know where we stand, and they continue to frequent our restaurants and work for us. We serve them well, but we do not serve them pork. We have the right to our own menus. We should not be forced."
But the mayor stood firm. "No," he said. "Everyone has the right to have pork, and it's my duty to make sure it's always available, whether you agree or not. It's healthier than beef anyway. If you don't like it, you can pay a fine and stop serving food—or you can close down."
The restaurant managers refused to change their menus. Many people stood by them—because they, too, would not eat pork and didn't want to pay for it; or because they agreed that restaurants should choose their own menus; or because they didn't like the mayor telling people how to run their own businesses. The movie theaters stood by him, because they were afraid if the Mayor could change menus, he might also start dictating what shows would be played.
The pork lovers, however, were incensed. How dare the restaurants not give them pork if they wanted it?
"I can't eat beef; what should I do then?" one demanded. "Do you just want to send me away to starve?"
"We have other dishes," they said. "Our menu and service would be no different than before. We can feed you many things; just not pork."
Nonetheless, the press, too, said that the two restaurants would rather let people starve rather than eat pork.
Despite the outcry of the pork lovers, more and more people said, "Let them choose their own menu!"
One day, the Mayor called the restaurant owners into his office. He had a compromise, he said.
"I won't make you buy pork. You don't have to prepare it, or touch it. Instead, all restaurant suppliers will have to supply pork to every restaurant, free of charge, and for those that don't want to serve the pork, suppliers will cook it and put it on every plate themselves."
"But there would still be pork in our restaurant!" the owners cried. "Besides, they will increase the price of meat to cover their new expenses."
"Oh, they wouldn't do that. I'd tell them not to. Besides, the point is you wouldn't be actually serving pork. See how well that works? Everyone gets pork and you can say you never provided it. And if your patrons don't want to eat it, they don't have to; it's enough that it's there for them."
So, problem solved?
A note from Karina: The HHS compromise is no compromise—it's an escalation, making it impossible not only for the Catholic Church to live according to its beliefs, but any small business that may also believe as the Church does. I wrote this parable to try to put the debate out of the "contraception/women's health" light and show the other issues at stake. Feel free to copy this story and use it on your own blogs. If you do, please include this link to sign a petition to stop the HHS mandate (or if you know of another petition, include it)
Karina Fabian is the author of a number of books, including non-fiction and horror genres. She came to my attention as the co-editor of Leaps of Faith, an anthology of Christian science fiction.

Well, we wanted to surprise you – but let's face it: too many surprises around this time of year and what we really need is a nice drink and some new shoes for all the holiday parties. And some retail therapy for all the "tidings of great joy" we
have to get to share. So, if you haven't heard already – we've got your ticket, er, passport.
Yup, here's another Savannah Pajama Shop Hop update for ya'll – the December shopping event for visitors and Savannians alike. Today we're featuring detailed discounts from the restaurants participating in our first ever Savannah Pajama Shop Hop and details to get you and your friends shopping.

The Pirate's House Restaurant is giving 10% off at the gift shop (where there are more t-shirt designs than friends on your gift list) and 1/2 off an entree with any entree purchase. You might even get spooked in the haunted facilities. On the outside of 20 East Broad Street (at Broad and Bryan) it looks like just some old house. Those looks don't deceive – it's actually the oldest building in Savannah, and, the ENTIRE state of Georgia. Hours: 11-9:30 Sun – Th. and 11-10 Fridays and Saturdays.

ZEPHYRHILLS, Fla. (AP) — It's been two long weeks since the small city of Zephyrhills learned that a $590 million Powerball ticket was sold at a supermarket here.
No one expected the winner to come forward in the first days after the announcement. After all, curious residents reasoned, the person might need a few days to absorb the shock, or to consult with financial advisers.
But then a week passed, and more, and now folks are so anxious to know the winner's identity they could jump out of their skin.
"Being in a small town, everybody knows everybody and in some cases, everybody's business," said Dave Walters, a longtime reporter at the Zephyrhills News community newspaper. "It's hard to keep a secret in this town, but this is one of the biggest mysteries we've had in a long, long time."
Zephyrhills, population 13,337, is about 30 miles northeast of downtown Tampa. Like many Florida communities, it features a small, old-timey downtown strip where restaurants, gift shops and clothing stores sit under a canopy of oak trees. Around the city's perimeter, there's the suburban sprawl of big box stores. It was in that sprawl, at a Publix supermarket, where the winning ticket was sold.
Rumors were swirling about who the winner could be: Publix deli employees, single moms working at Wal-Mart — even the cousin of a friend of a guy who lived clear in another county.
"Anybody who did not show up for work on that Monday was considered to be the lottery winner," Walters said. "If you had the flu and didn't show up for work, everyone thought you were the lottery winner. If you took a personal day or a sick day, they thought you had won the lottery."
The city is known around the Tampa Bay area for a few things: as the source for bottled spring water, as an area where people like to skydive and as the home to several mobile home parks that cater to the elderly.
Joe Abed, who owns Manolo's Italian restaurant in the historic downtown, thinks the ticket was sold to a senior citizen.
"It's a conspiracy theory," he said, using his hands to make quote marks. "I believe it's a senior citizen that purchased the ticket and they just have no idea that they won the ticket."
Marsha Decena, a Zephyrhills clothing store owner, said she's anxious to find out who won.
"I've heard so many different rumors through town, from it being a 23- or 26-year-old woman to somebody might have washed it in their pocket, the ticket is just lost and they don't know that they won," she said. "It's crazy."
The winner has 60 days from the date of the May 18 drawing to claim a lump-sum payment, and until mid-November to claim annual cash payments.
Zephyrhills resident Don Lawrence thinks the winner is just lining up legal and accounting staff.
"Lost the ticket or something like that? No, I don't think so," he said. "I think somebody's taking their time, doing it the right way."
Newly elected Mayor Danny Burgess — who turned 27 on Saturday — said he hopes it's a resident.
"Just because one person won the lottery, we all feel like we won, that's the kind of community this is," Burgess said. "I absolutely hope for the lottery winner that this is a positive, life-changing event. Only in America can you go to bed with a lottery ticket and wake up a mega-millionaire. I hope that they understand, appreciate and recognize the significance of this."
Abed wonders if the ticket eventually is "just going to go back into the system" so the country can have "another huge lottery."
But that's wishful thinking. According to the Florida Lottery website, if a Powerball jackpot isn't claimed within 180 days from the draw date, "the funds to pay the unclaimed jackpot will be returned to the lottery members in their proportion of sales for the jackpot rollover series."
In other words, state coffers will claim the jackpot, and the people of Zephyrhills will be left to wonder.

R: Isn't it a fact, that you have a drawer full of retirment home brochures, and you're just waiting for the first sign of dribble on your mother's chin to lock her away forever?
S: Once, when I laughed too hard, I had a little accident
S: I laughed till I pee-ed, then I laughed at that
S: What the heck, Ill go too.

S: Big Deal, i take the whole playset.
D: Not now MA!
S: Excuse me, Snoop.
D: Liar
S: Rhino
D: Lizard, It's real love, Mr.Benson. And it's an honest love. And yes, we might have secrets we stubbornly try to hide from each other.
S: Python
D: Swamp insect
R: I know, but Dorothy decided to go when Sophia and Blanche started to talking about whether or not Sophia should put up underwears.
They said it'd be fun to scare the hell out of the shoes salesman.

S: See, Marvin. How you like it? Not a pretty picture, is it?
D: Marvin, what the hell is going on here?

I think it was the gay wedding coordinator from when Stan and Dorothy were going to remarry. I'm not 100% sure I'm right, but I'm pretty sure. LOL

One of my favourites is the episode where Rose and Dorothy are installing a toilet.
The plumber delivers the toilet but refuses to bring it to the bathroom for the girls to install because he thinks it's a man's job. So he leaves the toilet in the middle of the living room floor.
Rose and Dorothy try to move it, but they can't, with Dorothy saying they should just forget it.
Rose: Now Dorothy, if the Egyptians built the pyramids we can move this toilet.
Dorothy: Fine, get me 20,000 Hebrews and I'll have it out of here in no time.
It's a bit politically incorrect (as well as historically wrong) but it sure was funny! That entire scene is great.

These are some of my favorites:
Blanche: "Dirk is a few years younger than I am."
Dorothy: "In what Blanche, dog years?"
Dorothy: What happened?
Blanche: She shot my vase.
Dorothy: What are you doing shooting, are you crazy?!
Rose: I heard a noise, I thought it was robbers.
Sophia: I lived eighty, eighty-one years, I survived two world wars, pneumonia, a stroke and two operations. One night I'll belch and Stable Mabel here will blow my head off!
Sophia: (from her bedroom) "I'm not in; leave a message after the beep, BEEP!"
Rose: (on the outside of the door) "Hi, this is Rose...."
Blanche: "We're afraid of the aliens"
Dorothy: "How many times do I have to tell you? They are the Chungs and they're very nice people"
Dorothy: Okay, girls, which goes better,
the silver chain or the pearls?
Rose: The chain.
Blanche: An amateurs mistake. Cant you
see that the chain accentuates the many folds
of that turkey-like neck?
Rose: Well, that may be, but the pearls
draw attention to the non-existent bosom.
Blanche: Yes, but the chain leads the eye
even lower, to that huge spare tire jutting out
over those square, manly hips.
Dorothy: Why dont I just wear a sign that
says Too Ugly to Live?
Blanche: Fine. But what are you going to
hang it from, the pearls or the chain?
Dorothy: Neither! Im going to spray paint
it on my hump!"
Dorothy: Maybe it's a good idea to get, you know, protection.
Rose: An enema bag?
Dorothy: No, to the left.
Rose: A Nestle's Crunch?
Dorothy: Condoms, Rose. Condoms, condoms!!
Clerk at the register: Take it easy lady, you just get out of prison?
Priest: "You look lovely."
Dorothy: "I look like the mother of a Solid Gold dancer."
Dorothy: "You know what girls. I really like him and I think he likes me."
Sophia: "Just don't ruin it and sleep with him."
Dorothy: "Of course not, Ma. I only do that with men I plan to scar psychologically."
Blanche: I know - we could hitchhike! I could lift up my skirt, like in that Clark Gable movie, It Happened One Night. We'll have a ride in no time!
Sophia: Please! You lift up your skirt, and someone might mistake your thigh for the "On" ramp to the freeway!
Blanche: I never had to pay a penny in backtaxes. I have a way with auditors. The last time I was audited I even got money back from the government.
Sophia: Blanche, it's not a refund when the auditor leaves two twenties on your nightstand.

He pulls out a gun.
Murder Mystery Weekend
Blanches coworker: Kendall was my lover and he was going to let Blanche down that night. That tramp murdered my lover.
Dorothy: That tramp is incapable of murder.
Dorothy: When a 22 year old girl marries an 88 year old man chances are she is not after his body.
Blanche: I treat my body like a temple.
Sophia: Yeah open to everyone day or night.
Preacher at Phils funeral: Phil was special. Wait a minute I am on Candid Camera????
Blanche (Phils Funeral): Look at that, Sluts.
Angela: Phils poker buddies.
Blanche: This is too funny. I have to take pictures.
Dorothy to Blanche mocker her grandma: Blanche, this is your grammy. You get down from there you dumb peck of wood.
Sophia (Dorothy son marries a black lady): What the hell is this?? A revivial of Raisin in the Sun.

Bea Arthur....final interview
With all the wonderful things Miss Arthur has done in her life, wouldn't it be great to see her final interview, in HER OWN WORDS talking about her career etc.
I found this clip of Bea Arthur's final interview. The clip also show Betty White, Carol Channing and Phyllis Diller.
We need to contact Merv Griffin Productions and see if entire interview will be aired. An email that was given to me was:
I'd hate for an full interview with Bea or the other legendary ladies in the clip to go unseen.

Yesterday I got the Invitation of the recently launched social networking site know as "Google+" . Its based on your day to day interaction analysis made by ex-Googler Paul Adams. People are in high hopes that this will save them from the addiction of Facebook. As of present it's access is limited to few people only and it's in testing phase. Due to excessive demand of invitations, Google has closed down the invitation part for sometime . It's quite true because all I saw yesterday on Facebook and Twitter is "Please Invite Me to Google+". Experts says that Google+ will get open for public in the coming week. It's available for Gmail users only as of now. Google+ account gets integrated with the other Google products. You can open it from various ways. Either hit the "+ANKUR" on your Google bar or login to the www.plus.google.com .
As soon as you login you will see a very simple and attractive UI 🙂 Below is the screenshot of my plus account welcome screen.
Let's talk about some of it features now :
1. You can easily add to contacts to the circles. Then while sharing ,you chooses the circle you want to share with. If you want to share it with all you have the public options for it. You can easily edit your circles.
2. It has got it recently launched "+1" button on very post and comment. It's quite similar to the Facebook's like button.
3. Notifications will appear on the top right side of the screen. You can also see it in the above screenshot.
4. Instead of wall post, you share the "Stream" with your circles.
5. It has got the "Spark" feature . It's quite similar to the hashtag feature of the social micro blogging site Twitter. This features lacks in the Facebook. You just type your topic and sparks and all the streams related to that will appear on your screen.
6. One more good feature is you can edit your comments. Facebook needs to think about applying this feature as soon as possible 🙂
Overall I think Google+ is great in the privacy field. Moreover sharing the post with the people you want to is one of its major strength. There is also a data liberation option in your Google+ settings through which you can download all of your uploaded data. I am still searching about it's hangout feature and will try write about it soon 🙂 Feedbacks and Comments are welcome 😀 Oh!!!! I forgot to tell you one important thing i.e. Google+ is for 18+ only 😦

Treasure Hunt!
We had to knit a 15-st wide scarf in DK yarn while we walked around - there was a bonus prize for the longest bit of knitting. I can't believe how long some of the completed scarves were, London has some fast knitters. There were also bonus points for photo-challenges, evidence of some are below (more on flickr).
Challenge: To knit with a celebrity (we cheated a bit outside the National Portrait gallery). A couple of people got Terry Pratchett!
Challenge: To knit on a Routemaster bus (i.e. the oldskool pretty ones). The conductor was absolutely delighted to see knitting.
Challenge: Knit in London landmarks starting with the letters P U R & L. This is P for Public Telephone Box.
... and U for Urinal. I love this photo. But I am a child and love all pee jokes.
Challenge: To find a street name relating to knitting. We cheated a bit again, with the aid of the magnetic strip of a travelcard. We also had 'The Cut', with a photo mimicking steeking.
We were absolutely exhausted by the end, but it was *ooodles* of fun and great to finally meet Lara. A perfect day off from thesis-editing. Thanks so much to Gerard and Craig for organising it.

Nike jumps on the latest John McEnroe renaissance by dedicating a line just for this tennis veteran. We saw the pieces first pop up in time for the 2010 US Open, and here he is (pictured above) wearing the polo at this week's seniors event in Arizona.
The on-court attire has a white/red/grey/black palette, and the tees take advantage of McEnroe's retro (headband/hair) bad boy (expletives) past — although his temperament is still as testy as ever. Our favorite is the Ace tee — the one with just his face — in grey.
Buy: Nike John McEnroe Collection Tennis Polo, $55, in grey/red and white/red; see the rest of the John McEnroe Collection.
The fogies: French Open champ Michael Chang is back on the Champions Series tour after an achilles tendon injury sidelined him beginning in 2006. At this week's $150,000 Cancer Treatment Centers of America Tennis Championships at the Surprise Tennis and Racquet Complex (we can breathe while we type, but still — a mouthful!), Chang won his opening round-robin match against Jimmy Arias and McEnroe won his against Wayne Ferreira. Also in the field are Mark Philippoussis, Aaron Krickstein, Jim Courier, and Jeff Tarango.
More: Event goes through this weekend. Schedule and ticket info at the Cancer Treatment Centers of America Championships at Surprise website.

"Religion that God our Father accept as pure and faultless is this: To look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world." James 1:27
AICM supports orphaned children through its member churches. At this time, we are sponsoring 450 children in Liberia. The same problems ravage rural and urban areas in surrounding nations as well. We want to assist them with needed supplies and other resources needed to open and survive.
Christian Education
A cardinal objective of AICM is to promote ministerial and theological education throughout our continent. Thus, we are involved in the operation of Liberty Theological Seminary in Liberia.
AICM also provides scholarships for students pursuing degrees in both Christian and higher theological education in Liberia.
Bible Conferences, Crusades, Mission Outreaches and Revivals
With your help, AICM can provide support for much needed events for the spiritual and practical enrichment of every Christian.
Missions Trips
For an excellent overview of AICM's ministry, or to meet a child, student, missionary or pastor you have come to know and love, why not join one of our mission trips to Africa?

Whether on or off the field, Miami Dolphins guard Richie Incognito seems to find his way into physical altercations.
According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, Incognito got into fight with a security guard before training camp.
From Schefter's report:
After a late night at a nightclub in the Fountainbleu hotel in Miami, Incognito punched and knocked out a hotel security guard, according to league sources.
One person who knows Incognito says the Dolphins guard was punched first.
There is videotape of the incident but the hotel is unwilling to turn it over and the NFL has not yet seen it — and might not due to fact that it is the hotel's property and the Fountainbleu prefers that attention not be brought to the issue.
The Dolphins have been aware of the incident because, as one source said, "they've done everything to bury it."
The NFL declined comment. The league knows it cannot police all altercations involving NFL players, though this one happened in public, with witnesses. It still is premature, but Incognito's altercation could be a violation of the NFL's personal conduct policy.
On Saturday night, Incognito was involved in another public altercation, this time at Reliant Stadium. Texans defensive end Antonio Smith ripped the helmet off Incognito's head, then hit him on the shoulder with it. For his actions, Smith has been suspended by the league for the Texans' last two preseason games and the regular season opener.
Smith and Incognito are no stranger to one another. The two also went at it in last season's opener, when Smith kicked Incognito, drawing an $11,000 fine. Smith later said Incognito deliberately tried to twist his ankle while holding his legs in the 2012 game. Incognito was not fined for that play.
Schefter writes that the feud between the two players can be traced back to their NFC West days when Smith was a member of the Arizona Cardinals and Incognito played for the St. Louis Rams.

what's happening
It has been quite the ride around here lately, with no signs of slowing down! We suffered a loss, went on an amazing vacation to Walt Disney World, and are waiting for the little man's impending surgery on Thursday morning. E needs to have one more mole removed (this will be the third and final and not on his face, thank goodness) and tubes put into his ears. Its all routine, but necessary. And always induces a bit of worry. Valentine's Day will be quiet and low key, but we will be together as a family, and there really isn't anything better than that!
I practiced SOME restraint in taking photos at Disney World. Only 368 this time…all taken with my iPhone. If you are interested in seeing some, just a few, I promise, of the photos, stop on over to my very neglected photo blog and check them out.
There is craftiness on the horizon! I promise! Project Life scrapbooking and baking for sure!
thanks for stopping by!

Hi Kimberly,
I am going to WDW in October. I saw on the photo blog you stayed at the French Quarter, Port Orleans. I am thinking of staying in the French Quarter Riverside and was just wondering how you liked the resort.
